Gameday links and notes -- preseason game #2
A quick note on tonight. I'll be around, chatting, for the Bengals pre-season game #2 tonight. I hope you join me (us). Rudi Johnson doesn't think he's done, just yet. "The trainers did a good job on me. I'm ready to pick up where I left off. I'm good to go."
Lions head coach Rod Marinelli says that the Bengals offense will "check the oil on our defense."
The Lions expect to run their starters deeper into the game.
Dave previews tonight's Sunday Night game against the Lions and Hobson does the same.
DeDe Dorsey is expected to play tonight.
The Bengals need to cut down on their mistakes.

Marvin Lewis Shows His Respect for Steven Jackson and Talks About the 2004 Draft
Go out and talk to long-time Bengals fans and ask them what the biggest Bengals draft mistakes are. You'll get a wide variety of responses, including names like Akili Smith, Ki-Jana Carter and David Klingler. Another name that might pop up is Chris Perry, the Bengals first-round pick in 2004, a running back out of Michigan. The Bengals had the No. 24 pick in the 2004 draft, a pick they acquired from the Denver Broncos (they originally had the No. 17 pick, but traded it to Denver, who picked up D.J. Williams, and moved back). They decided to drop back again, this time trading their pick to the St. Louis Rams. The Rams selected Oregon State running back Steven Jackson with the No. 24 pick and the Bengals, who dropped back to No. 26, took Perry.
Perry is now out of the NFL and Jackson has racked up the fourth most rushing yards in the NFL among active players.
Hind site is 20/20, right?
Perry never led the Bengals in rushing. After the Bengals decided to not go after Jackson, Rudi Johnson was the Bengals leading rusher, then Kenny Watson and then, when the reins were finally turned over to Perry in 2008, he fumbled five times in six starts before the Bengals brought Cedric Benson to Cincinnati. He's been the team's leading rusher ever since and Perry was drummed out of the league.
The Bengals will face the running back that they decided to let slip through their fingers in 2004 as they travel to St. Louis to play the Rams on Sunday. Head coach Marvin Lewis recently spoke about Jackson and the team's decision to move back in the draft on Bengals.com.
"Steven Jackson was a guy that we sat there and looked at in the draft and allowed the Rams to choose him," Lewis said. "We chose the other one because we were able to add a pick at that point. So, we did a lot of work with him and have a great deal of respect for him and knew he would be a player in the NFL. I don’t think he disappointed anybody. Runs strong, runs tough and so we’ve got a great deal of respect for him."
One of the main keys to the Bengals beating the Rams and keeping their playoff hopes alive will obviously be to stop Jackson, who has 895 yards and five touchdowns this season. Also, a key to their future success, especially with two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, will be not to pass up players that have the potential to carry a team the way Jackson has carried the Rams. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5822 | {"url": "http://www.cincyjungle.com/2011/12/15/2638076/marvin-lewis-shows-his-respect-for-steven-jackson-and-talks-about-the", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cincyjungle.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:29:38Z", "digest": "sha1:YTVLBMX2XCQINSXJSHPSCDIPZO6VEONR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2462, 2462.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2462, 10375.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2462, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2462, 350.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2462, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2462, 217.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2462, 0.42723881]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2462, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2462, 0.02578649]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2462, 0.02578649]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2462, 0.02578649]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2462, 0.04641568]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2462, 0.01237751]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2462, 0.01134605]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2462, 0.01119403]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2462, 0.14552239]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2462, 0.49671772]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2462, 4.2428884]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2462, 4.90196135]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2462, 457.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 834, 1.0], [834, 951, 1.0], [951, 978, 1.0], [978, 1380, 1.0], [1380, 1654, 1.0], [1654, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2462, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 834, 0.0], [834, 951, 0.0], [951, 978, 0.0], [978, 1380, 0.0], [1380, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 81, 14.0], [81, 834, 136.0], [834, 951, 23.0], [951, 978, 5.0], [978, 1380, 70.0], [1380, 1654, 50.0], [1654, 2079, 89.0], [2079, 2462, 70.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 81, 0.05], [81, 834, 0.02216066], [834, 951, 0.0], [951, 978, 0.17391304], [978, 1380, 0.01020408], [1380, 1654, 0.01492537], [1654, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2462, 0.00797872]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 834, 0.0], [834, 951, 0.0], [951, 978, 0.0], [978, 1380, 0.0], [1380, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 2079, 0.0], [2079, 2462, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 81, 0.12345679], [81, 834, 0.05312085], [834, 951, 0.06837607], [951, 978, 0.03703704], [978, 1380, 0.04228856], [1380, 1654, 0.04014599], [1654, 2079, 0.02588235], [2079, 2462, 0.01827676]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2462, 0.89372796]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2462, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2462, 0.59021044]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2462, -4.98064112]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2462, 80.442816]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2462, -12.08147463]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2462, 29.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Area Cyclists pedal for Vivian
Updated Jul 20, 2013 at 10:40 PM CDT
WASHINGTON, IL--Area cyclists are pedaling toward a life-changing victory, inspired by Vivian Weeks. Weeks was just 4 and a half months old when she suffered from a stroke. Her father says, the incredible care she received while at the Children's Hospital of Illinois was the inspiration for the event.
Nearly 100 participants raced their bikes Saturday morning through Washington. Races varied from 10 to 100 miles, all raising money for the Children's Hospital of Illinois. Pay It Forward Racing hosted the event, with donated food coming from Avanti's.
Joe Dries with Pay It Forward said, "Some times people have a hardship that really effects them and others around them, and they can't really support themselves. That's why we have places like the Children's home or the Dax foundation. Any chance you have to get out, exercise, and give back to the community that would be... I'd say... The best thing you can do."
Next month, Washington will host the 'Tri for Dax' at the Five Points Washington. It is the city's first triatholon, and all proceeds will go to the Dax Locke Foundation. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5823 | {"url": "http://www.cinewsnow.com/news/local/Area-Cyclists-pedal-for-Vivian-216301381.html?vid=a", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cinewsnow.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:27:34Z", "digest": "sha1:6BK62HQKN4YSQBMZD5WILL6U5TB3D35A"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1159, 1159.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1159, 4418.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1159, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1159, 162.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1159, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1159, 214.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1159, 0.39837398]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1159, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1159, 0.06528836]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1159, 0.03917301]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1159, 0.04352557]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1159, 0.04787813]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1159, 0.0203252]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1159, 0.19105691]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1159, 0.68877551]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1159, 4.68877551]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1159, 0.00813008]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1159, 4.69303501]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1159, 196.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 68, 0.0], [68, 371, 1.0], [371, 624, 1.0], [624, 989, 0.0], [989, 1159, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 68, 0.0], [68, 371, 0.0], [371, 624, 0.0], [624, 989, 0.0], [989, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 5.0], [31, 68, 8.0], [68, 371, 49.0], [371, 624, 39.0], [624, 989, 65.0], [989, 1159, 30.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 68, 0.29411765], [68, 371, 0.00342466], [371, 624, 0.03265306], [624, 989, 0.0], [989, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 68, 0.0], [68, 371, 0.0], [371, 624, 0.0], [624, 989, 0.0], [989, 1159, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.09677419], [31, 68, 0.18918919], [68, 371, 0.0660066], [371, 624, 0.04743083], [624, 989, 0.03287671], [989, 1159, 0.06470588]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1159, 0.15724337]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1159, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1159, 0.23643118]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1159, -19.36741229]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1159, 0.84682566]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1159, -45.702483]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1159, 13.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
BU Blasts MV State
Updated Dec 20, 2012 at 11:36 AM CDT
Bradley (8-2) turned in another stellar defensive performance, limiting Mississippi Valley State (0-7) to 42 points on 27.8 percent shooting and forcing 24 turnovers en route to a 77-42 win in the second round of the 2012 Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic Wednesday night at Carver Arena.
After enduring a 7-25 record in 2011-12, the Braves have won eight games before Christmas for just the ninth time in program history and the first time since the 2006-07 NIT squad opened with a 9-3 record. Coming on the heels of Monday's 62-43 win against Georgia Southern, Bradley has held consecutive opponents to fewer than 50 for the first time since Dec. 17 and Dec. 21, 2005.
Junior forward Tyshon Pickett just missed his second straight double-double, leading the Braves with 18 points and nine rebounds. Walt Lemon, Jr. added 14 points, while senior guard Dyricus Simms-Edwards filled the stat sheet with nine points, eight assists, four rebounds and three steals. Simms-Edwards also played lockdown defense on MVSU leading scorer Davon Usher, who entered the game averaging 19.3 points per game, but finished with two points on 1-for-6 shooting. Julius Francis led the Delta Devils with 21 points and nine rebounds.
Bradley dominated the game from nearly every aspect. The Braves outscored their visitors by a 42-18 margin in the paint, 18-2 in transition and 25-7 off turnovers. After settling for a 30-21 halftime lead and allowing Mississippi Valley State to score on its first possession of the second half, the Braves used a 20-5 run to break away. The Delta Devils managed only one field goal from 15:01 left until Francis scored with 38 seconds remaining in the game.
All eight teams in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic field will return to action Saturday at the Orleans Arena, where the Braves will face ACC member Virginia Tech (8-2) in the third game of the day, a 5 p.m. (PT) start. Bradley will face either Colorado State or Portland in Sunday's final round, then will return home to host Drake in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both teams Dec. 29 at Carver Arena.Article courtesy BU Sports Information | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5824 | {"url": "http://www.cinewsnow.com/sports/BU-Blasts-MV-State-184206381.html?vid=a", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cinewsnow.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:00:58Z", "digest": "sha1:IHF6CBRJQSXNMMGWDYIPGN7HOISMQRD6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2187, 2187.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2187, 5022.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2187, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2187, 161.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2187, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2187, 323.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2187, 0.29677419]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2187, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2187, 0.03428571]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2187, 0.01714286]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2187, 0.02514286]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2187, 0.02628571]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2187, 0.01935484]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2187, 0.26236559]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2187, 0.61788618]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2187, 4.74254743]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2187, 5.09042687]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2187, 369.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 56, 0.0], [56, 346, 1.0], [346, 728, 1.0], [728, 1271, 1.0], [1271, 1730, 1.0], [1730, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 56, 0.0], [56, 346, 0.0], [346, 728, 0.0], [728, 1271, 0.0], [1271, 1730, 0.0], [1730, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 4.0], [19, 56, 8.0], [56, 346, 47.0], [346, 728, 68.0], [728, 1271, 84.0], [1271, 1730, 79.0], [1730, 2187, 79.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 56, 0.29411765], [56, 346, 0.06810036], [346, 728, 0.08423913], [728, 1271, 0.02099237], [1271, 1730, 0.05156951], [1730, 2187, 0.01128668]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 56, 0.0], [56, 346, 0.0], [346, 728, 0.0], [728, 1271, 0.0], [1271, 1730, 0.0], [1730, 2187, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.31578947], [19, 56, 0.18918919], [56, 346, 0.04137931], [346, 728, 0.03403141], [728, 1271, 0.04051565], [1271, 1730, 0.02614379], [1730, 2187, 0.07439825]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2187, 0.07065332]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2187, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2187, 0.78231066]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2187, -177.61641971]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2187, -21.2469771]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2187, -8.18759492]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2187, 22.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

/ Nat Young
The road to the World Tour is littered with crushed dreams and hangovers. Aptly dubbed “The Grind,” the WQS has chewed many a hopeful pro into a sulking mass with a well-worn passport. We called on the Qualifying Tour’s alabaster prince, Nat Young, who currently looks strong to qualify for the Big Leagues, to find out what it takes to successfully navigate one of pro surfing’s greatest crucibles.
Travel With A Veteran. When I first started the ‘QS, I was riding for O’Neill. Kieran Horn, who was the team manager and one of my mentors, really helped me understand how the whole thing works. He’s had a lot of experience and that first year he traveled with me to some of the comps, teaching me the ins and outs, and that made everything a lot easier for me. He didn’t really talk about how much of a grind it was at first, but with his help and wisdom, I could make the transition a lot easier.
You Will Struggle. My lowest point was pretty much the entire first half of last year. I’ve never lost so early in so many contests in a row. Losing that much just deflates you. It’s easy to lose your confidence and it can be really tough to get out of that slump. It was a complete shocker. But then toward the end of the year, I finished with a bunch of big results in some really difficult events. I think that helped me to realize that I could compete with the best guys and it just motivated me this year to get serious and put all my effort toward making the cut. So the struggle is a part of it for everybody.
Know Why You’re Here. I think every surfer on the ‘QS does it for one reason: to qualify for the World Tour. Although I haven’t qualified yet, that must be the best feeling you can get from doing the ‘QS. Even though it’s hard at times, it can all pay off in the end. When you lose your first-round heat, it’s one of the worst feelings ever, but when you win a comp, it’s one of the best feelings ever. I guess you just have to take the good with the bad. I train hard in my downtime, and when all that training and dedication pay off and you are on the podium holding a trophy and a big check, that makes it all worth it. That’s why you’re here—to win. To move onto the World Tour. I’ve never questioned if this whole thing is worth it because this is what I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid and the “QS is the road I have to take to make my dreams a reality.
Take Time To Recharge. It’s different for everyone, but going home to recharge is so important to me. Sometimes it’s nice to get away from the whole system for a bit and stop thinking about points and ratings and heat totals. When I’m home, I can take my mind off that and hang out and surf with my friends and family. I think it really helps and you come back to the “QS stronger.
There Really Are No Secrets. In the end, I’m not sure if anyone knows the secrets to succeeding right away on the “QS. If I did, I’d already be on the World Tour. But here’s something I do know: You need to take this tour seriously to do well. There are guys that go to every event and party and probably don’t take it quite as seriously as I do. But that’s just not worth it for me. I have had some great experiences and a lot of fun, but I realize that I’m here to work.

Reports of Col. John R. Brooke, Fifty-third Pennsylvania Infantry, commanding Fourth Brigade. Gettysburg Campaign O.R.--SERIES I--VOLUME XXVII/1 [S# 43]
HDQRS. FOURTH BRIG., FIRST DIV., SECOND ARMY CORPS, Bivouac near Thoroughfare Gap, Va., June 23, 1863. Maj. JOHN HANCOCK,
SIR: In accordance with instructions
received this day from headquarters First Division, I have the honor to make the following
report of the operations of my command on the 14th and 15th instant: At about 4 p.m., June 14, having previously
received orders therefor from the major-general commanding corps, proceeded to Banks'
Ford, arriving there about 6 p.m., the detachment under my command consisting of portions
of the Fifty-third Pennsylvania, One hundred and forty-fifth Pennsylvania, Second
Delaware, Sixty-fourth New York, Twenty-seventh Connecticut, and two pieces of artillery
from Battery A, Fourth U.S. Artillery. The command was halted when near the ford, at a
point as near as could be reached without being exposed to view. I at once moved forward
with three of my regiments (Second Delaware, One hundred and forty-fifth Pennsylvania, and
Sixty-fourth New York), and posted them to support the picket on duty there, consisting of
the Fifty-second New York, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Freudenberg. In the wood to the
rear of the first-mentioned regiment, a battalion of the Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry was
bivouacked, under command of Captain Wickersham. In accordance with orders furnished me by the
major-general commanding the corps, I proceeded when fully dark to withdraw the infantry
pickets and post cavalry, with instructions to follow the infantry at the expiration of
one and a half hours. The command having been collected, and joined by the Fifty-second
New York, took up the line of march, and had reached within a short distance of the main
Warrenton road, when Lieut. W. D. W. Miller, aide-de-camp, arrived with orders to replace
the infantry pickets at the ford, and move with the rest of the command to Berea Church,
and occupy the cross-roads at that point. The Fifty-second New York again took up the
picket line at the ford, supported by the Second Delaware, the remainder of the detachment
moving on to Berea Church, where the troops were put into position, the artillery being
posted to the best advantage to cover the roads. The detachment arrived at the church
about 11 p.m. Having thrown out pickets, the men were
permitted to sleep on their arms until, at or about 1.30 a.m., Lieutenant Miller,
aide-de-camp, arrived with orders to abandon the ford at once, and to move the whole
detachment to Stafford Court-House, the choice of roads being left to my discretion. At 5.30 a.m. the infantry all assembled at Berea
Church. The command was moved at once, taking the shortest road to Stafford Court-House,
the whole detachment arriving there safely about 9.30 a.m., June 15. No casualties occurred to the detachment while
under my command, nor were any of the enemy seen, excepting those in their works on the
right bank of the river, opposite the ford. Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN R. BROOKE, Colonel, Commanding Brigade. HDQRS. FOURTH BRIG., FIRST DIV., SECOND A. C., August 15, 1863. Maj. JOHN HANCOCK, Assistant Adjutant-General. SIR: I have the honor to make the following report of the late actions at
Gettysburg, Pa., and subsequent movements to Warrenton, Va.: June 29, at about 6 a.m., marched from Monocacy
Bridge, below Frederick City, Md., to Uniontown, a distance of about 31 miles, where the
troops remained until July 1, at 6 a.m., when they marched for Taneytown. On reaching the
latter, it became evident an engagement was in progress with the enemy at or near
Gettysburg, Pa., when the march was continued, and the command arrived at a point about 3
miles from Gettysburg about 9.30 p.m. The brigade then took a position on the right of the
road, and, after establishing a picket line on the right flank, extending to the rear, the
men were allowed to sleep. On the morning of July 2, at about 3 a.m., the
command moved forward in column for the field of battle, arriving there soon after
sunrise, and, forming the right of the division, was formed in mass by columns of
regiments on the left of the Second Division. During the day, the enemy were evidently
feeling our position from right to left. At about 5 p.m. a furious attack was made upon
our left. In a short time, General Caldwell directed me to move to the left. I immediately
marched, following the Irish Brigade, and forming in line in a copse of woods in rear of
the Irish Brigade, and, moving forward in supporting distance, I crossed an open field or
marsh, when, meeting the general commanding the division, he commanded me to halt my line.
He then moved the Irish Brigade to the right, leaving my brigade in rear of and at
supporting distance from the First Brigade, Colonel Cross, which was then hotly engaged
beyond the crest, behind which I then was. In a short time the general commanding directed
me to relieve the First Brigade. I advanced in line, faced by the rear rank (which
formation was necessary, from the fact that there was not time to form by the front rank),
and, passing the line of Colonel Cross at the edge of a wheat-field, I became at once
hotly engaged. Pressing forward, firing as we went, we drove back the first line of the
enemy, capturing a great number, and then charging the second line, drove it from its
almost impregnable position on a rocky crest. I now found my flanks threatened by a strong
force of the enemy, and immediately sent an officer to the general commanding the division
for assistance, and finding also a part of the Third Brigade close at hand, I immediately
ordered them in and held my ground. Both my aides being wounded, and myself severely
bruised, I with great difficulty was able to maintain a proper knowledge of the enemy.
Being notified about this time that a heavy column of the enemy was coming upon my left, I
immediately took measures to meet them, sending word to that effect to the general
commanding. I held them at bay for some time, when word was brought me that my right was
being turned, and finding no troops coming to my support, and finding that unless I
retired all would be killed or captured, I reluctantly gave the order to retire, and in
good order the whole command came off the field slowly, and, firing as they retired,
succeeded in bringing off nearly all their wounded. In passing back over the wheat-field,
I found the enemy had nearly closed in my rear, and had the movement not been executed at
the time it was, I feel convinced that all would have been lost by death, wounds, or
capture. I cannot speak in too high terms of the bravery
and cool, steady bearing of the troops. The greater part of the command reformed behind
some stone walls, ready to fight to the last, but other troops coming up, relieved them,
and the brigade reformed in rear of the hill called Round Top. The loss in officers and non-commissioned
officers was very large, leaving companies without officers and first sergeants. After reforming, the general commanding again
took position near the position occupied in the morning, where we bivouacked for the
night. July 3, early, the general commanding directed
me to form on the left of the Third Brigade. The enemy, seeing the movement, immediately
commenced a brisk shelling, which killed and wounded several men. Here we were directed by
General Caldwell to throw up rifle-pits. In the afternoon a terrific cannonade was opened
upon our lines, followed by an infantry attack, which did not, however, direct itself
against our line. After the failure of this attack, nothing of importance transpired, the
enemy evidently being defeated. It is with regret that I record the death of the
gallant Lieut. Col. H. C. Merwin, of the Twenty-seventh Connecticut, who fell in the
thickest of the fight. His death is a national loss. All other officers and all the men
behaved with extraordinary bravery. Of my staff, Capt. H. J. Smith and Lieut. C. F.
Smith were seriously wounded. Lieut. Charles P. Hatch, acting assistant adjutant-general,
Capt. A.M. Wright, acting assistant inspector-general, and Lieut. J. J. Whitney rendered
me efficient and valuable service. I would respectfully ask for them the notice of the
general commanding. The list of casualties has already been
furnished. The proportion of killed and wounded to the number engaged will show how
desperately the fight raged. July 4 passed without much fighting, and on the
5th, at 4 p.m., by order of the general commanding the division, took up line of march,
following the Third Brigade; forded Marsh Creek, and marched a short distance beyond Two
Taverns, Pa. Remained at this point until 5 a.m. July 7, when marched for and arrived at
Taneytown at 11 a.m. On July 8, 9, 10, and 11, marched by way of
Frederick, Cramp-ton's Pass, Rohrersville, Keedysville, and the old Antietam battlefield
to Jones' Cross-Roads, and, forming line parallel to the Hagerstown turnpike, bivouacked. On the 12th, moved forward about three-quarters
of a mile, and took up an advantageous position on a crest, in heavy timber; threw up
strong intrenchments at this point. On the morning of the 14th, at 5 o'clock,
received orders to move my brigade to the front and feel the enemy. The Fifth New
Hampshire and Fifty-seventh New York were temporarily attached to my command; the
Twenty-seventh Connecticut and One hundred and forty-fifth Pennsylvania were temporarily
detached, not being drilled as skirmishers. Advancing, with the brigade deployed as
skirmishers, I moved on the enemy's works, but found them evacuated; took many prisoners,
and pressed forward to Falling Waters, where slight skirmishing occurred. The enemy having
crossed, with the exception of those taken, bivouacked near Falling Waters for the night. On the 15th, marched for Sandy Hook, by way of
Downsville and Sharpsburg, arriving at Sandy Hook on the 16th, a.m. On the 18th, took up line of march (leaving the
Twenty-seventh Connecticut, whose term of service had nearly expired), crossing the
Potomac and Shenandoah at Harper's Ferry. Bivouacked near Keys' Pass, in Loudoun Valley. On July 19 and 20, marched to near Upperville,
remaining here until July 22, when the march was resumed via Upperville to Paris. My
brigade was ordered to occupy Ashby's Gap and remain until relieved by the Twelfth Corps. At 2.30 p.m. on the 23d, being relieved by a
brigade of the Twelfth Corps, I pushed on after the corps (which had marched to Markham,
near Manassas Gap, at an early hour), reaching Markham at dark; and receiving orders to
push on and join the corps, which had been ordered to Linden, I marched through the Gap,
and joined the division about 1 a.m., this being the hardest march the troops ever made,
being over a hilly, rocky, and marshy country, and it being very dark. On the 24th, at 12 m., took up line of march
again, reaching Markham at 6 p.m. On the 25th and 26th, marched by way of White
Plains and Warrenton to within 3 miles of Warrenton Junction. During the long marches and hard fighting of
this campaign, it is but just to say that the men did all that was required of them
without a murmur and in a true soldierly spirit. Respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN R. BROOKE,
Colonel, Commanding Brigade. RETURN TO BATTLE OF

The WSJ is Crazy for IG’s
A rash of stories today in The Wall Street Journal about inspector-general reports on government agencies caught my eye this morning. That’s nice because all too often these watchdogs don’t get enough play in the press.
It writes about an FAA IG report that questions $1.1 billion in stimulus funds for airports, including $28 million for a couple of small Alaska airports to nowhere (JFK only gets $15 million).
It also reports that the Health and Human Services IG is investigating the FDA’s head of drug research and evaluation for a conflict of interest. That’s apparently a scoop and the paper slots it on B1.
In April 2008, after the tainted-heparin article was published, an investment report from Morgan Stanley cited Momenta’s FDA connection as a “game-changer,” and Momenta’s stock jumped 17% in a day.
And the paper reports on a New York IG’s report on corruption on New York’s waterfront commission that’s supposed to fight corruption. I’m not exactly sure why Wall Street Journal readers outside New York need to read this story, but hey, there it is.
These are pretty straightforward news stories that don’t take much time or effort (with the possible exception of the FDA piece), but it’s nice that the paper is keeping a close eye on the regulators and their government agencies. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5835 | {"url": "http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/the_wsj_is_crazy_for_igs.php", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cjr.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:41:51Z", "digest": "sha1:CF3PFTPMIBJRPYBB5WC2KJJFEQ57LPLS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1348, 1348.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1348, 8029.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1348, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1348, 275.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1348, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1348, 223.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1348, 0.36896552]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1348, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1348, 0.02205882]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1348, 0.03125]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1348, 0.04827586]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1348, 0.18275862]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1348, 0.6419214]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1348, 4.7510917]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1348, 4.75029793]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1348, 229.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 53, 0.0], [53, 273, 1.0], [273, 466, 1.0], [466, 668, 1.0], [668, 866, 1.0], [866, 1118, 1.0], [1118, 1348, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 53, 0.0], [53, 273, 0.0], [273, 466, 0.0], [466, 668, 0.0], [668, 866, 0.0], [866, 1118, 0.0], [1118, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 27, 5.0], [27, 53, 6.0], [53, 273, 36.0], [273, 466, 33.0], [466, 668, 36.0], [668, 866, 30.0], [866, 1118, 44.0], [1118, 1348, 39.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.45454545], [27, 53, 0.0], [53, 273, 0.0], [273, 466, 0.0326087], [466, 668, 0.00502513], [668, 866, 0.03157895], [866, 1118, 0.0], [1118, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 53, 0.0], [53, 273, 0.0], [273, 466, 0.0], [466, 668, 0.0], [668, 866, 0.0], [866, 1118, 0.0], [1118, 1348, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.11111111], [27, 53, 0.26923077], [53, 273, 0.02727273], [273, 466, 0.05181347], [466, 668, 0.05445545], [668, 866, 0.04545455], [866, 1118, 0.0515873], [1118, 1348, 0.0173913]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1348, 0.09849387]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1348, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1348, 0.01537597]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1348, -149.85158426]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1348, 34.579243]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1348, -103.69405534]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1348, 10.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Wally Parks - Film @ 11
Classic Trucks, February 01, 2008
NHRA Founder Wally Parks, 1913-2007Wally Parks, the driving force behind the formation of the NHRA, has died at the age of 94. It was Parks' vision, goals, and unconditional commitment to the need for speed and side-by-side racing in a safer, more controlled environment that created what is today the world's largest motorsports governing body. "Today is a sad day in the world of NHRA and the sport of drag racing," said Tom Compton, president of the NHRA. "Words simply can't describe the immeasurable impact Wally has had on the sport he created and the millions of people's lives he touched along the way. The name Wally Parks is synonymous with drag racing, and his vision and direction will guide the NHRA for years to come. Everyone in drag racing, and the industries formed to service the sport, will forever be indebted to Wally, his vision, his focus, and his desire to create, build, and grow the NHRA." Parks, who founded the NHRA in 1951, received countless awards in the motorsports world and played a pivotal role in the establishment of an entire industry devoted to speed and automotive aftermarket parts and accessories that today is a multibillion-dollar business. Yet Parks never implied that he did it all himself. His pride and joy, and where he spent most of his time in recent years while still serving on the NHRA's board of directors, was The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California at the Fairplex in Pomona, California. Flowmaster Announces HushpowerFlowmaster is proud to introduce its new brand, Hushpower(r). Hushpower will be a standalone corporate brand based in Hayden, Idaho, with long-term corporate member Lee Thompson assuming the position of division manager. Hushpower is being positioned to service markets and applications outside its parent company's emphasis. Hushpower is already a multi-make and industry-capable exhaust company with a specific focus on racing, off road, diesel performance, hot rod and custom exhaust, ATV silencers, and industrial and commercial truck applications. The new lineup of Hushpower PRO Series mufflers are designed to silence the extreme sound levels produced by racing engines with their patented Hushpower Wide Spectrum Sound Cancellation technology. These Hushpower mufflers have been mandated by both the United States Auto Club (USAC), the C.R.A. Sprint Car Series, as well as being the Official Muffler of the Diesel Hot Rod Association (DHRA). In performance diesel applications, the 4- and 5-inch PRO Series mufflers are noted for their significant sound-control capabilities while providing increased engine efficiency and torque levels. The Hushpower HP-II mufflers with their Cool Shell case have already found a strong marketplace with hot rod, custom, off-road, lowrider, and sport truck builders. These all-stainless mufflers offer a slim-line case and are designed for applications with limited space and a need for heat control. The Hushpower-patented technology can be refined to address specific environmental and performance improvements in a wide variety of applications. Hushpower products are available exclusively through its network of factory-authorized dealers. More information is available by calling 877-EXHAUST or visiting their Web site at www.hushpower.com. Wyotech Student Receives Fourth Annual Vic Edelbrock Sr. Memorial ScholarshipOnce again, Vic Edelbrock Jr. and his company, Edelbrock Corporation, have shown their support for the automotive technicians of tomorrow with a generous scholarship to a WyoTech student. The WTI Foundation is excited to announce that Travis Miller is the recipient of the Fourth Annual Vic Edelbrock Sr. Memorial Scholarship award of $5,500. Miller is currently finishing advanced automotive training programs in High Performance Powertrain at WyoTech's Laramie, Wyoming, campus. 1 |

You are here: Home > Convocation
Convocation is an annual event at which students and faculty gather to celebrate the official opening of the scholastic year. Originally, "convocation" meant a gathering of the clergy or the divisions of a diocese; however, at Clearwater Christian College, the word and the event have changed from these ecclesiastical roots to embrace the intellectual community. The College's convocation officially welcomes new students to the Clearwater community and encourages them to consider their own intellectual and spiritual journey for the upcoming academic year. This occasion also serves to familiarize incoming students with the College's academic traditions, as well as the institution's history, symbols and mottos.

Coordinating Sponsors EVENT GOALS The event will provide up-to-date information and research, and give you a voice in a multidisciplinary dialogue that has two goals:
1. Participants, through facilitated working sessions, will develop an ethically sound course of action for resolving the shortage of organs for transplantation through state-of-the-art applications of science and technology. The day will begin with expert panelists initiating the discussion of organ supply options. Working groups will identify the many issues associated with reducing the shortage of organs for transplantation and potential solutions, including organ donation, regenerative medicine, and xenotransplantation. Participants will consider present and future scientific, ethical, healthcare, economic, and regulatory issues and challenges. 2. With an eye to making real progress in this complex field, a white paper or other publication will be prepared by a writing committee post conference. Participants will have an opportunity to comment prior to submission for publication. All contributors will be recognized. Copies will be distributed to key stakeholders. PROGRAM DETAILS One to two moderators and a graduate student “rapporteur” will be with each working group. Groups will be composed of 12-15 participants. Participants in the working sessions will be grouped with participants of differing backgrounds to provide diverse perspectives in addressing the organ supply issues, challenges and solutions within the groups.

Issue Date: October 2008 Video FameArsenio Hall loves his television and computer ... probably a little too much. This month, the Cleveland native and former late-night host makes his return to TV with a new show that seeks to capitalize on our YouTube-obsessed nation.
Lynne Thompson A lot has changed in the 14 years since The Arsenio Hall Show went off the air. For one, the comedian, actor and producer behind it is now a single father whose world revolves around 8-year-old Arsenio Jr.But Arsenio Hall still sounds like a late-night talk-show host. Apologize for the flat tire that delayed your interview with him, and he sympathizes with a routine about the first car he ever had. “It was a Cutlass, it was green — nothing green should run anyway,” quips the 53-year-old native Clevelander.This month, Hall returns to television with World’s Funniest Moments, an hourlong showcase of Internet video clips that debuts Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. on WUAB My 43. We talked to Hall about his return to TV, being a minister’s son and what he looks forward to doing most on his next trip home. How did you end up hosting World’s Funniest Moments? “[MyNetworkTV] called me about the concept. They had been told that I was an Internet fanatic, a computer nut. And I am. I live on that thing. As a matter of fact, I watch TV and the computer at the same time, which I think is the future. Do you have a favorite Internet video clip?I think the most classic two I’ve ever gotten [in my e-mail] is Carl Lewis singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Rod Stewart’s daughter falling off a motorcycle. You’ve done standup and television, and you do a radio show with Tim Conway Jr. in Los Angeles. Which medium do you prefer?I’ve had three relationships end because of television. I love my television!
How has fatherhood changed your life?That takes most of my time because I choose to do it right. I always thought that I couldn’t have kids. I took a second test at one point because I didn’t want to accept the answer and found out that the previous doctor, maybe 10 years prior to that, had been wrong. I always thought I’d be a great father. And I always thought if my dad was alive, he would agree with me. The man he made me, I want to take that to another level. Show business has to be second to fatherhood. I find things that fit into being a father. If it don’t fit, I can’t do it.
Your own father was a Baptist minister. How did that affect your development, comedic and otherwise?My brother spent all his life in prison — he was from my father’s first marriage, so he was older than me. I loved my dad so much that I never wanted to disappoint him. I never wanted to be like my brother, not able to come home because they’re afraid you’re going to steal something.The way I was as a kid contributed to what happened my freshman year at college — I graduated from Kent State University, but I spent the first two years at Ohio University.I remember, as plain as day, looking out the dorm window of Brown Hall as my mother drove away in a white Pontiac LeMans and thinking,I’m gonna get busy! I got a single room, and in a week, the preacher’s kid had three girlfriends and was smoking herb.What do you like to do when you come back home?I’m a basketball fanatic — I would walk to Cleveland to watch LeBron play.

Palast Debunks "Peak Oil": Dave McGowan Was First, How About Some Credit.
truebeliever
Palast's analysis of the peak oil scam decimates the claims of those who say black gold is on its way out of existence and it should be regulated by oil companies who in their own documents have been caught creating artificial scarcity. The role of Venezuela and Hugo Chavez in oil politics is also covered.
Taken from Prison Planet.tv AJ interview blurb. Palast took his time. McGowan was writing extensively about this 2 years ago while PAlast was still pushing "war for oil" crapola. I have my doubts about Palast sometimes.
Sorry that ALL these articles are so long but it is worth having a backup of them as they are so good and so well referenced.
Dave McGowan is funny and inciteful. He has done some of the earliest and best work on the Peak Oil Scam and the sell out Ruppert as well as great and detailed work on 9-11...especially the Pentagon "lack of plane" crash.
"Peak Oil" is not just concocted for pure profit. It is the "understandable excuse" for the U.S acting as the iron fist in the velvet glove of the Globalist agenda. That is...destroying traditional Islam and making the world safe for Israel.
Here is his complete set on the scam that is peak oil.
P.S Oil industry mags here in West Oz are admitting that the ENTIRE West Coast of Oz is one great big oil and gas field. How lucky for them! $80 a barrel and growing. It is also interesting that Oz's Prime minister (John Howard) let it be known at an industry meeting that Australia has the potential to be a..."global energy supplier". ;-) [quote]NEWSLETTER #52
Cop v CIA (Center for an Informed America)
The Most Important Center for an Informed America Story in Two Years...
On February 29, 2004, I received the following e-mail message from Michael Ruppert of From the Wilderness:
I challenge you to an open, public debate on the subject of Peak Oil; any time, any place after March 13th 2004. I challenge you to bring scientific material, production data and academic references and citations for your conclusions like I have. I suggest a mutually acceptable panel of judges and I will put up $1,000 towards a purse to go to the winner of that debate. I expect you to do the same. And you made a dishonest and borderline libelous statement when you suggested that I am somehow pleased that these wars of aggression have taken place to secure oil. My message all along has been, �Not in my name!�
Put your money where your mouth is. But first I suggest you do some homework. Ad hominem attacks using the word �bullshit�, unsupported by scientific data are a sign of intellectual weakness (at best). I will throw more than 500 footnoted citations at you from unimpeachable sources. Be prepared to eat them or rebut them with something more than you have offered.
Wow! How does high noon sound?
Before I get started here, Mike, I need to ask you just one quick question: are you sure it was only a "borderline libelous statement"? Because I was really going for something more unambiguously libelous. I'll see if I can do better on this outing. Let me know how I do.
Several readers have written to me, incidentally, with a variation of the following question: "How can you say that Peak Oil is being promoted to sell war when all of the websites promoting the notion of Peak Oil are stridently anti-war?"
But of course they are. That, you see, is precisely the point. What I was trying to say is that the notion of 'Peak Oil' is being specifically marketed to the anti-war crowd -- because, as we all know, the pro-war crowd doesn't need to be fed any additional justifications for going to war; any of the old lies will do just fine. And I never said that the necessity of war was being overtly sold. What I said, if I remember correctly, is that it is being sold with a wink and a nudge.
The point that I was trying to make is that it would be difficult to imagine a better way to implicitly sell the necessity of war, even while appearing to stake out a position against war, than through the promotion of the concept of 'Peak Oil.' After September 11, 2001, someone famously said that if Osama bin Laden didn't exist, the US would have had to invent him. I think the same could be said for 'Peak Oil.'
I also need to mention here that those who are selling 'Peak Oil' hysteria aren't offering much in the way of alternatives, or solutions. Ruppert, for example, has stated flatly that "there is no effective replacement for what hydrocarbon energy provides today." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/052703_9_questions.html) The message is quite clear: "we're running out of oil soon; there is no alternative; we're all screwed." And this isn't, mind you, just an energy problem; as Ruppert has correctly noted, "Almost every current human endeavor from transportation, to manufacturing, to plastics, and especially food production is inextricably intertwined with oil and natural gas supplies." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/102302_campbell.html) If we run out of oil, in other words, our entire way of life will come crashing down. One of Ruppert's "unimpeachable sources," Colin Campbell, describes an apocalyptic future, just around the corner, that will be characterized by "war, starvation, economic recession, possibly even the extinction of homo sapiens." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/102302_campbell.html)
My question is: if Ruppert is not selling the necessity of war, then exactly what is the message that he is sending to readers with such doomsday forecasts? At the end of a recent posting, Ruppert quotes dialogue from the 1975 Sidney Pollack film, Three Days of the Condor: (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/013004_in_your_face.html)
Higgins: ...It's simple economics. Today it's oil, right? In 10 or 15 years - food, Plutonium. And maybe even sooner. Now what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then?
Turner: Ask them.
Higgins: Not now - then. Ask them when they're running out. Ask them when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask them when their engines stop. Ask them when people who've never known hunger start going hungry. Do you want to know something? They won't want us to ask them. They'll just want us to get it for them.
The message there seems pretty clear: once the people understand what is at stake, they will support whatever is deemed necessary to secure the world's oil supplies. And what is it that Ruppert is accomplishing with his persistent 'Peak Oil' postings? He is helping his readers to understand what is allegedly at stake.
Elsewhere on his site, Ruppert warns that "Different regions of the world peak in oil production at different times ... the OPEC nations of the Middle East peak last. Within a few years, they -- or whoever controls them -- will be in effective control of the world economy, and, in essence, of human civilization as a whole." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/102302_campbell.html)
Within a few years, the Middle East will be in control of all of human civilization?! Try as I might, I can't imagine any claim that would more effectively rally support for a U.S. takeover of the Middle East. The effect of such outlandish claims is to cast the present war as a war of necessity. Indeed, a BBC report posted on Ruppert's site explicitly endorses that notion: "It's not greed that's driving big oil companies - it's survival." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/040403_oil_war_bbc.html)
On the very day that Ruppert's challenge arrived, I received another e-mail, from someone I previously identified - erroneously, it would appear - as a "prominent critic" of Michael Ruppert. In further correspondence, the writer, Jeff Strahl, explained that he is (a) not a critic of Ruppert in general, but rather a critic only of Ruppert's stance on certain aspects of the 9-11 story, and (b) not all that prominent. This is what Mr. Strahl had to say:
I'm a participant in a relatively new website, http://911research.wtc7.net, which has done lots of work regarding the WTC and Pentagon side of the 9/11 events, especially the physical evidence which reveals the official story as a complete hoax. Under "talks" you'll find a slide show I've done (and will do again) in public on the Pentagon aspects. This is all simply to let you know I'm far from an apologist for the status quo. Nor am I an apologist for Mike Ruppert, with whom in fact I got into a donnybrook of a fight on public email lists over his denial of the relevancy of physical evidence and the fact that an article full of disinformation about the WTC collapse, written 9/13/01, was still on his website, unedited or corrected, two years later. He finally gave in and printed a (sort of) retraction.
That said, I have to take issue with your stance re Peak Oil, something you say you wish were true, but deny, not on the basis of any information, but on the basis that you seem to think it's too good to be true, and that it's all info presented by Ruppert, which you thus suspect since you suspect Ruppert. Matter of fact, Peak Oil was predicted by an oil geologist, King Hubbert, way back in the mid '60s, before Ruppert was even in college. It's been pursued since then by lots of people in the science know-how, including Dale Allen Pfeiffer, Richard Heinberg, Colin Campbell and Kenneth Deffeyes. The information is quite clear, global oil production has either peaked in the last couple of years or will do so in the next couple, as Hubbert predicted decades ago (He predicted Peak Oil in the US as happening in the early '70s, was laughed at, but his prediction came true right on schedule). The science here is quite hard, facts are available from lots of sources. Perhaps Hubbert was part of a long-planned disinfo campaign that was planned way back in the '60s, and all the others are part of that plot. I find it hard to believe that, and I am quite a skeptic.
As for the relevancy of physical evidence, it would appear that that is another bone that I have to pick with Mr. Ruppert. But I will save that for another time. For now, the issue is 'Peak Oil' (which, as you can see, I am continuing to enclose in quotation marks, which is, as regular readers know, how I identify things that don't actually exist).
For the record, I never said that Michael Ruppert was the only one presenting information about 'Peak Oil.' I said that he was the most prominent of those promoting the idea. I also never implied that Ruppert came up with the idea on his own. I am aware that the theory has a history. The issue here, however, is the sudden prominence that 'Peak Oil' has attained.
Lastly, let me say that, unlike you, Jeff, I am enough of a skeptic to believe that an ambitious, well-orchestrated disinformation campaign, possibly spanning generations, should never arbitrarily be ruled out. I am also enough of a skeptic to suspect that when a topic I have covered generates the volume of e-mail that my 'Peak Oil' musings have generated, then I must have managed to step into a pretty big pile of shit. What I did not realize, until I decided to take Mr. Ruppert's advice and "do some homework," was that it was a much bigger pile than I could have imagined.
I read through some, but certainly not all, of the alleged evidence that Ruppert has brought to the table concerning 'Peak Oil.' Since I have no interest in financially supporting his cause, I am not a paid subscriber and can therefore not access the 'members only' postings. But I doubt that I am missing much. The postings that I did read tended to be extremely redundant and, therefore, a little on the boring side.
Ruppert's arguments range from the vaguely compelling to the downright bizarre. One argument that pops up repeatedly is exemplified by this Ruppert-penned line: "One of the biggest signs of the reality of Peak Oil over the last two decades has been a continual pattern of merger-acquisition-downsizing throughout the industry."
Really? And is that pattern somehow unique to the petroleum industry? Or is it a pattern that has been followed by just about every major industry? Is the consolidation of the supermarket industry a sign of the reality of Peak Groceries? And with consolidation of the media industry, should we be concerned about Peak News? Or should we, perhaps, recognize that a pattern of monopoly control - characterized by mergers, acquisitions, and downsizing - represents nothing more than business as usual throughout the corporate world?
Another telling sign of 'Peak Oil,' according to Ruppert and Co., is sudden price hikes on gas and oil. Of course, that would be a somewhat more compelling argument if the oil cartels did not have a decades-long history of constantly feigning shortages to foist sudden price increases on consumers (usually just before peak travel periods). Contrary to the argument that appears on Ruppert's site, it is not need that is driving the oil industry, it is greed.
In what is undoubtedly the most bizarre posting that Ruppert offers in support of his theory, he ponders whether dialogue from an obscure 1965 television series indicates that the CIA knew as far back as the 1960s about the coming onset of 'Peak Oil.' (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/042003_secret_agent_man.html) Even if that little factoid came from a more, uhmm, credible source, what would the significance be? Hasn't the conventional wisdom been, for many decades, that oil is a 'fossil fuel,' and therefore a finite, non-renewable resource? Since when has it been an intelligence community secret that a finite resource will someday run out?
A few readers raised that very issue in questioning my recent 'Peak Oil' rants. "Even if we are not now in the era of Peak Oil," the argument generally goes, "then surely we will be soon. After all, it is inevitable." And conventional wisdom dictates that it is, indeed, inevitable. But if this website has one overriding purpose, it is to question conventional wisdom whenever possible.
There is no shortage of authoritatively stated figures on the From the Wilderness website: billions of barrels of oil discovered to date; billions of barrels of oil produced to date; billions of barrels of oil in known reserves; billions of barrels of oil consumed annually. Yadda, yadda, yadda. My favorite figure is the one labeled, in one posting, "Yet-to-Find." That figure, 150 billion barrels (a relative pittance), is supposed to represent the precise volume of conventional oil in all the unknown number of oil fields of unknown size that haven't been discovered yet. Ruppert himself has written, with a cocksure swagger, that "there are no more significant quantities of oil to be discovered anywhere ..." (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/013004_in_your_face.html) A rather bold statement, to say the least, considering that it would seem to be impossible for a mere mortal to know such a thing.
Ruppert's figures certainly paint a scary picture: rapid oil consumption + diminishing oil reserves + no new discoveries = no more oil. And sooner, rather than later. But is the 'Peak Oil' argument really valid? It seems logical -- a non-renewable resource consumed with a vengeance obviously can't last for long. The only flaw in the argument, I suppose, would be if oil wasn't really a 'fossil fuel,' and if it wasn't really a non-renewable resource.
"Conventional wisdom says the world's supply of oil is finite, and that it was deposited in horizontal reservoirs near the surface in a process that took millions of years." So said the Wall Street Journal in April 1999 (Christopher Cooper "Odd Reservoir Off Louisiana Prods Oil Experts to Seek a Deeper Meaning," Wall Street Journal, April 16, 1999). It therefore logically follows that conventional wisdom also says that oil will reach a production peak, and then ultimately run out.
(http://www.oralchelation.com/faq/wsj4.htm)
As I said a few paragraphs ago, the purpose of this website is to question conventional wisdom -- by acquainting readers with stories that the media overlook, and with viewpoints that are not allowed in the mainstream. It was my understanding that From the Wilderness, and other 'alternative' websites, had a similar goal.
But is 'Peak Oil' really some suppressed, taboo topic? If it is, then why, as I sit here typing this, with today's (March 7, 2004) edition of the Los Angeles Times atop my desk, are the words "Running Out of Oil -- and Time" staring me in the face from the front page of the widely read Sunday Opinion section? The lengthy piece, penned by Paul Roberts, is replete with dire warnings of the coming crisis. Save for the fact that the words 'Peak Oil' are not routinely capitalized, it could easily pass for a From the Wilderness posting.
(http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-op-roberts7mar07,1,107339.story)
The Times also informed readers that Roberts has a new book due out in May, entitled The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World. Scary stuff. Beating Robert's book to the stores will be Colin Campbell's The Coming Oil Crisis, due in April. Both titles will have to compete for shelf space with titles such as Richard Heinberg's The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies, published April of last year; David Goodstein's Out of Gas: The End of the Age of Oil, which just hit the shelves last month; and Kenneth Deffeyes' Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage, published October 2001. The field is getting a bit crowded, but sales over at Amazon.com remain strong for most of the contenders.
The wholesale promotion of 'Peak Oil' seems to have taken off immediately after the September 11, 2001 'terrorist' attacks, and it is now really starting to pick up some steam. The BBC covered the big story last April (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/040403_oil_war_bbc.html). CNN covered it in October (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/100203_cnn_peak_oil.html). The Guardian covered it in December (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/120303_bottom_barrel.html). Now the Los Angeles Times has joined the chorus.
I guess the cat is pretty much out of the bag on this one. Everyone can cancel their subscriptions to From the Wilderness and pocket the $35 a year, since you can read the very same bullshit for free in the pages of the Los Angeles Times.
Interestingly enough, there is another story about oil that, unlike the 'Peak Oil' story, actually has been suppressed. It is a story that very few, if any, of my readers, or of Michael Ruppert's readers, are likely aware of. But before we get to that story, let's first briefly review what we all 'know' about oil.
As anyone who stayed awake during elementary school science class knows, oil comes from dinosaurs. I remember as a kid (calm down, folks; there will be no Brady Bunch references this week) seeing some kind of 'public service' spot explaining how dinosaurs "gave their all" so that we could one day have oil. It seemed a reasonable enough idea at the time -- from the perspective of an eight-year-old. But if, as an adult, you really stop to give it some thought, doesn't the idea seem a little, uhmm ... what's the word I'm looking for here? ... oh yeah, I remember now ... preposterous?
How could dinosaurs have possibly created the planet's vast oil fields? Did millions, or even billions, of them die at the very same time and at the very same place? Were there dinosaur Jonestowns on a grand scale occurring at locations all across the planet? And how did they all get buried so quickly? Because if they weren't buried right away, wouldn't they have just decomposed and/or been consumed by scavengers? And how much oil can you really squeeze from a pile of parched dinosaur skeletons?
Maybe there was some type of cataclysmic event that caused the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs and also buried them -- like the impact of an asteroid or a comet. But even so, you wouldn't think that all the dinosaurs would have been huddled together waiting to become oil fields. And besides, scientists are now backing away from the mass extinction theory.
(http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-extinction6mar06,1,3634810.story)
The Wall Street Journal article previously cited noted that it "would take a pretty big pile of dead dinosaurs to account for the estimated 660 billion barrels of oil in the [Middle East]." I don't know what the precise dinosaur-carcass-to-barrel-of-oil conversion rate is, but it does seem like it would take a hell of a lot of dead dinosaurs. Even if we generously allow that a single dinosaur could yield 5 barrels of oil (an absurd notion, but let's play along for now), more than 130 billion dinosaurs would have had to be simultaneously entombed in just one small region of the world. But were there really hundreds of billions of dinosaurs roaming the earth? If so, then one wonders why there is all this talk now of overpopulation and scarce resources, when all we are currently dealing with is a few billion humans populating the same earth.
And why the Middle East? Was that region some kind of Mecca for dinosaurs? Was it the climate, or the lack of water and vegetation, that drew them there? Of course, the region could have been much different in prehistoric times. Maybe it was like the Great Valley in the Land Before Time movies. Or maybe the dinosaurs had to cross the Middle East to get to the Great Valley, but they never made it, because they got bogged down in the desert and ultimately became (through, I'm guessing here, some alchemical process) cans of 10W-40 motor oil.
Another version of the 'fossil fuel' story holds that microscopic animal carcasses and other biological matter gathered on the world's sea floors, with that organic matter then being covered over with sediment over the course of millions of years. You would think, however, that any biological matter would decompose long before being covered over by sediment. But I guess not. And I guess there were no bottom-feeders in those days to clear the ocean floors of organic debris. Fair enough. But I still don't understand how those massive piles of biological debris, some consisting of hundreds of billions of tons of matter, could have just suddenly appeared, so that they could then sit, undisturbed, for millions of years as they were covered over with sediment. I can understand how biological detritus could accumulate over time, mixed in with the sediment, but that wouldn't really create the conditions for the generation of vast reservoirs of crude oil. So I guess I must be missing something here.
The notion that oil is a 'fossil fuel' was first proposed by Russian scholar Mikhailo Lomonosov in 1757. Lomonosov's rudimentary hypothesis, based on the limited base of scientific knowledge that existed at the time, and on his own simple observations, was that "Rock oil originates as tiny bodies of animals buried in the sediments which, under the influence of increased temperature and pressure acting during an unimaginably long period of time, transform into rock oil."
Two and a half centuries later, Lomonosov's theory remains as it was in 1757 -- an unproved, and almost entirely speculative, hypothesis. Returning once again to the Wall Street Journal, we find that, "Although the world has been drilling for oil for generations, little is known about the nature of the resource or the underground activities that led to its creation." A paragraph in the Encyclopedia Britannica concerning the origins of oil ends thusly: "In spite of the great amount of scientific research ... there remain many unresolved questions regarding its origins."
Does that not seem a little odd? We are talking here, after all, about a resource that, by all accounts, plays a crucial role in a vast array of human endeavors (by one published account, petroleum is a raw ingredient in some 70,000 manufactured products, including medicines, synthetic fabrics, fertilizers, paints and varnishes, acrylics, plastics, and cosmetics). By many accounts, the very survival of the human race is entirely dependent on the availability of petroleum. And yet we know almost nothing about this most life-sustaining of the earth's resources. And even though, by some shrill accounts, the well is about to run dry, no one seems to be overly concerned with understanding the nature and origins of so-called 'fossil fuels.' We are, rather, content with continuing to embrace an unproved 18th century theory that, if subjected to any sort of logical analysis, seems ludicrous.
On September 26, 1995, the New York Times ran an article headlined "Geochemist Says Oil Fields May Be Refilled Naturally." Penned by Malcolm W. Browne, the piece appeared on page C1.
Could it be that many of the world's oil fields are refilling themselves at nearly the same rate they are being drained by an energy hungry world? A geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts ... Dr. Jean K. Whelan ... infers that oil is moving in quite rapid spurts from great depths to reservoirs closer to the surface. Skeptics of Dr. Whelan's hypothesis ... say her explanation remains to be proved ...
Discovered in 1972, an oil reservoir some 6,000 feet beneath Eugene Island 330 [not actually an island, but a patch of sea floor in the Gulf of Mexico] is one of the world's most productive oil sources ... Eugene Island 330 is remarkable for another reason: it's estimated reserves have declined much less than experts had predicted on the basis of its production rate.
"It could be," Dr. Whelan said, "that at some sites, particularly where there is a lot of faulting in the rock, a reservoir from which oil is being pumped might be a steady-state system -- one that is replenished by deeper reserves as fast as oil is pumped out" ...
The discovery that oil seepage is continuous and extensive from many ocean vents lying above fault zones has convinced many scientists that oil is making its way up through the faults from much deeper deposits ...
A recent report from the Department of Energy Task Force on Strategic Energy Research and Development concluded from the Woods Hole project that "there new data and interpretations strongly suggest that the oil and gas in the Eugene Island field could be treated as a steady-state rather than a fixed resource."
The report added, "Preliminary analysis also suggest that similar phenomena may be taking place in other producing areas, including the deep-water Gulf of Mexico and the Alaskan North Slope" ...
There is much evidence that deep reserves of hydrocarbon fuels remain to be tapped.
This compelling article raised a number of questions, including: how did all those piles of dinosaur carcasses end up thousands of feet beneath the earth's surface? How do finite reservoirs of dinosaur goo become "steady-state" resources? And how does the fossil fuel theory explain the continuous, spontaneous venting of gas and oil?
The Eugene Island story was revisited by the media three-and-a-half years later, by the Wall Street Journal (Christopher Cooper "Odd Reservoir Off Louisiana Prods Oil Experts to Seek a Deeper Meaning," Wall Street Journal, April 16, 1999).
Something mysterious is going on at Eugene Island 330.
Production at the oil field, deep in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, was supposed to have declined years ago. And for a while. it behaved like any normal field: Following its 1973 discovery, Eugene Island 330's output peaked at about 15,000 barrels a day. By 1989, production had slowed to about 4,000 barrels a day.
Then suddenly -- some say almost inexplicably -- Eugene Island's fortunes reversed. The field, operated by PennzEnergy Co., is now producing 13,000 barrels a day, and probable reserves have rocketed to more than 400 million barrels from 60 million. Stranger still, scientists studying the field say the crude coming out of the pipe is of a geological age quite different from the oil that gushed 10 years ago.
All of which has led some scientists to a radical theory: Eugene Island is rapidly refilling itself, perhaps from some continuous source miles below the Earth's surface. That, they say, raises the tantalizing possibility that oil may not be the limited resource it is assumed to be.
... Jean Whelan, a geochemist and senior researcher from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts ... says, "I believe there is a huge system of oil just migrating" deep underground.
... About 80 miles off the Louisiana coast, the underwater landscape surrounding Eugene Island is otherworldly, cut with deep fissures and faults that spontaneously belch gas and oil.
So now we are talking about a huge system of migrating dinosaur goo that is miles beneath the Earth's surface! Those dinosaurs were rather crafty, weren't they? Exactly three years later (to the day), the media once again paid a visit to the Gulf of Mexico. This time, it was Newsday that filed the report (Robert Cooke "Oil Field's Free Refill," Newsday, April 19, 2002).
(http://csf.colorado.edu/forums/pkt/2002II/msg00071.html)
Deep underwater, and deeper underground, scientists see surprising hints that gas and oil deposits can be replenished, filling up again, sometimes rapidly.
Although it sounds too good to be true, increasing evidence from the Gulf of Mexico suggests that some old oil fields are being refilled by petroleum surging up from deep below, scientists report. That may mean that current estimates of oil and gas abundance are far too low.
... chemical oceanographer Mahlon "Chuck" Kennicutt [said] "They are refilling as we speak. But whether this is a worldwide phenomenon, we don't know" ...
Kennicutt, a faculty member at Texas A&M University, said it is now clear that gas and oil are coming into the known reservoirs very rapidly in terms of geologic time. The inflow of new gas, and some oil, has been detectable in as little as three to 10 years. In the past, it was not suspected that oil fields can refill because it was assumed that oil was formed in place, or nearby, rather than far below.
According to marine geologist Harry Roberts, at Louisiana State University ... "You have a very leaky fault system that does allow it (petroleum) to migrate in. It's directly connected to an oil and gas generating system at great depth."
... "There already appears to be a large body of evidence consistent with ... oil and gas generation and migration on very short time scales in many areas globally" [Jean Whelan] wrote in the journal Sea Technology ...
Analysis of the ancient oil that seems to be coming up from deep below in the Gulf of Mexico suggests that the flow of new oil "is coming from deeper, hotter [sediment] formations" and is not simply a lateral inflow from the old deposits that surround existing oil fields, [Whelan] said.
Now I'm really starting to get confused. Can someone please walk me through this? What exactly is an "oil and gas generating system"? And how does such a system generate oil "on very short time scales"? Is someone down there right now, even as I type these words, forklifting dinosaur carcasses into some gigantic cauldron to cook up a fresh batch of oil?
Desperate for answers to such perplexing questions, I turned for advice to Mr. Peak Oil himself, Michael Ruppert, and this is what I found: "oil ... is the result of climactic conditions that have existed at only one time in the earth's 4.5 billion year history." I'm guessing that that "one time" - that one golden window of opportunity to get just the right mix of dinosaur stew - isn't the present time, so it doesn't seem quite right, to me at least, that oil is being generated right now.
In June 2003, Geotimes paid a visit to the Gulf of Mexico ("Raining Hydrocarbons in the Gulf"), and the story grew yet more compelling.
(http://www.geotimes.org/june03/NN_gulf.html)
Below the Gulf of Mexico, hydrocarbons flow upward through an intricate network of conduits and reservoirs ... and this is all happening now, not millions and millions of years ago, says Larry Cathles, a chemical geologist at Cornell University.
"We're dealing with this giant flow-through system where the hydrocarbons are generating now, moving through the overlying strata now, building the reservoirs now and spilling out into the ocean now," Cathles says.
... Cathles and his team estimate that in a study area of about 9,600 square miles off the coast of Louisiana [including Eugene Island 330], source rocks a dozen kilometers [roughly seven miles] down have generated as much as 184 billion tons of oil and gas -- about 1,000 billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent. "That's 30 percent more than we humans have consumed over the entire petroleum era," Cathles say. "And that's just this one little postage stamp area; if this is going on worldwide, then there's a lot of hydrocarbons venting out."
Dry oil wells spontaneously refilling? Oil generation and migration systems? Massive oil reserves miles beneath the earth's surface? Spontaneous venting of enormous volumes of gas and oil? (Roberts noted that - and this isn't really going to please the environmentalists, but I'm just reporting the facts, ma'am - "natural seepage" in areas like the Gulf of Mexico "far exceeds anything that gets spilled" by the oil industry. And those natural emissions have been pumped into our oceans since long before there was an oil industry.)
The all too obvious question here is: how is any of that explained by a theory that holds that oil and gas are 'fossil fuels' created in finite quantities through a unique geological process that occurred millions of years ago?
Why do we insist on retaining an antiquated theory that is so obviously contradicted by readily observable phenomena? Is the advancement of the sciences not based on formulating a hypothesis, and then testing that hypothesis? And if the hypothesis fails to account for the available data, is it not customary to either modify that hypothesis or formulate a new hypothesis -- rather than, say, clinging to the same discredited hypothesis for 250 years?
In August 2002, the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study authored by J.F. Kenney, V.A. Kutchenov, N.A. Bendeliani and V.A. Alekseev. The authors argued, quite compellingly, that oil is not created from organic compounds at the temperatures and pressures found close to the surface of the earth, but rather is created from inorganic compounds at the extreme temperatures and pressures present only near the core of the earth.
(http://www.gasresources.net/index.htm)
As Geotimes noted ("Inorganic Origin of Oil: Much Ado About Nothing?," Geotimes, November 2002), the journal "published the paper at the request of Academy member Howard Reiss, a chemical physicist at the University of California at Los Angeles. As per the PNAS guidelines for members communicating papers, Reiss obtained reviews of the paper from at least two referees from different institutions (not affiliated with the authors) and shepherded the report through revisions."
(http://www.geotimes.org/nov02/NN_oil.html)
I mention that because I happened to read something that Michael Ruppert wrote recently that seems pertinent: "In real life, it is called 'the proof is in the pudding.' In scientific circles, it is called peer review, and it usually involves having your research published in a peer-reviewed journal. It is an often-frustrating process, but peer-reviewed articles ensure the validity of science."
(http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/052703_9_questions.html)
It would seem then that we can safely conclude that what Kenney, et. al. have presented is valid science, since it definitely was published in a peer-reviewed journal. And what that valid science says, quite clearly, is that petroleum is not by any stretch of the imagination a finite resource, or a 'fossil fuel,' but is in fact a resource that is continuously generated by natural processes deep within the planet.
Geotimes also noted that the research paper "examined thermodynamic arguments that say methane is the only organic hydrocarbon to exist within Earth's crust." Indeed, utilizing the laws of modern thermodynamics, the authors constructed a mathematical model that proves that oil can not form under the conditions dictated by the 'fossil fuel' theory.
I mention that because of something else I read on Ruppert's site. Listed as #5 of "Nine Critical Questions to Ask About Alternative Energy" is: "Most of the other questions in this list can be tied up into this one question: does the invention defy the Laws of Thermodynamics? If the answer is yes, then something is wrong."
Well then, Mr. Ruppert, I have some very bad news for you, because something definitely is wrong -- with your 'Peak Oil' theory. Because here we have a published study, subjected to peer review (thus assuring the "validity" of the study), that demonstrates, with mathematical certainty, that it is actually the 'fossil fuel' theory that defies the laws of thermodynamics. It appears then that if we follow Ruppert's Laws, we have to rule out fossil fuels as a viable alternative to petroleum.
Reaction to the publication of the Kenney study was swift. First to weigh in was Nature (Tom Clarke "Fossil Fuels Without the Fossils: Petroleum: Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?," Nature News Service, August 14, 2002).
Petroleum - the archetypal fossil fuel - couldn't have formed from the remains of dead animals and plants, claim US and Russian researchers. They argue that petroleum originated from minerals at extreme temperatures and pressures.
Other geochemists say that the work resurrects a scientific debate that is almost a fossil itself, and criticize the team's conclusions.
The team, led by J.F. Kenney of the Gas Resources Corporation in Houston, Texas, mimicked conditions more than 100 kilometres below the earth's surface by heating marble, iron oxide and water to around 1500� C and 50,000 times atmospheric pressure.
They produced traces of methane, the main constituent of natural gas, and octane, the hydrocarbon molecule that makes petrol. A mathematical model of the process suggests that, apart from methane, none of the ingredients of petroleum could form at depths less than 100 kilometres.
The geochemist community, and the petroleum industry, were both suitably outraged by the publication of the study. The usual parade of experts was trotted out, of course, but a funny thing happened: as much as they obviously wanted to, those experts were unable to deny the validity of the research. So they resorted to a very unusual tactic: they reluctantly acknowledged that oil can indeed be created from minerals, but they insisted that that inconvenient fact really has nothing to do with the oil that we use.
Showing that oil can also form without a biological origin does not disprove [the 'fossil fuel'] hypothesis. "It doesn't discredit anything," said a geochemist who asked not to be named.
... "No one disputes that hydrocarbons can form this way," says Mark McCaffrey, a geochemist with Oil Tracers LLC, a petroleum-prospecting consultancy in Dallas, Texas. A tiny percentage of natural oil deposits are known to be non-biological, but this doesn't mean that petrol isn't a fossil fuel, he says.
"I don't know anyone in the petroleum community who really takes this prospect seriously," says Walter Michaelis, a geochemist at the University of Hamburg in Germany.
So I guess the geochemist community is a petulant lot. They did "concede," however, that oil "that forms inorganically at the high temperatures and massive pressures close to the Earth's mantle layer could be forced upwards towards the surface by water, which is denser than oil. It can then be trapped by sedimentary rocks that are impermeable to oil."
What they were acknowledging, lest anyone misunderstand, is that the oil that we pump out of reservoirs near the surface of the earth, and the oil that is spontaneously and continuously generated deep within the earth, could very well be the same oil. But even so, they insist, that is certainly no reason to abandon, or even question, our perfectly ridiculous 'fossil fuel' theory.
Coverage by New Scientist of the 'controversial' journal publication largely mirrored the coverage by Nature (Jeff Hecht "You Can Squeeze Oil Out of a Stone," New Scientist, August 17, 2002).
Oil doesn't come from dead plants and animals, but from plain old rock, a controversial new study claims.
The heat and pressure a hundred kilometres underground produces hydrocarbons from inorganic carbon and water, says J.F. Kenney, who runs the Gas Resources Corporation, an oil exploration firm in Houston. He and three Russian colleagues believe all our oil is made this way, and untapped supplies are there for the taking.
Petroleum geologists already accept that some oil forms like this. "Nobody ever argued that there are no inorganic sources," says Mike Lewan of the US Geological Survey. But they take strong issue with Kenney's claim that petroleum can't form from organic matter in shallow rocks.
Geotimes chimed in as well, quoting Scott Imbus, an organic geochemist for Chevron Texaco Corp., who explained that the Kenney research is "an excellent and rigorous treatment of the theoretical and experimental aspects for abiotic hydrocarbon formation deep in the Earth. Unfortunately, it has little or nothing to do with the origins of commercial fossil fuel deposits."
What we have here, quite clearly, is a situation wherein the West's leading geochemists (read: shills for the petroleum industry) cannot impugn the validity of Kenney's unassailable mathematical model, and so they have, remarkably enough, adopted the unusual strategy of claiming that there is actually more than one way to produce oil. It can be created under extremely high temperatures and pressures, or it can be created under relatively low temperatures and pressures. It can be created organically, or it can be created inorganically. It can be created deep within the Earth, or it can be created near the surface of the Earth. You can make it with some rocks. Or you can make it in a box. You can make it here or there. You can make it anywhere.
While obviously an absurdly desperate attempt to salvage the 'fossil fuel' theory, the arguments being offered by the geochemist community actually serve to further undermine the notion that oil is an irreplaceable 'fossil fuel.' For if we are now to believe that petroleum can be created under a wide range of conditions (a temperature range, for example, of 75� C to 1500� C), does that not cast serious doubt on the claim that conditions favored the creation of oil just "one time in the earth's 4.5 billion year history"?
A more accurate review of Kenney's work appeared in The Economist ("The Argument Needs Oiling," The Economist, August 15, 2002).
Millions of years ago, tiny animals and plants died. They settled at the bottom of the oceans. Over time, they were crushed beneath layers of sediment that built up above them and eventually turned into rock. The organic matter, now trapped hundreds of metres below the surface, started to change. Under the action of gentle heat and pressure, and in the absence of air, the biological debris turned into oil and gas. Or so the story goes.
In 1951, however, a group of Soviet scientists led by Nikolai Kudryavtsev claimed that this theory of oil production was fiction. They suggested that hydrocarbons, the principal molecular constituents of oil, are generated deep within the earth from inorganic materials. Few people outside Russia listened. But one who did was J. F. Kenney, an American who today works for the Russian Academy of Sciences and is also chief executive of Gas Resources Corporation in Houston, Texas. He says it is nonsense to believe that oil derives from �squashed fish and putrefied cabbages.� This is a brave claim to make when the overwhelming majority of petroleum geologists subscribe to the biological theory of origin. But Dr Kenney has evidence to support his argument.
In this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, he claims to establish that it is energetically impossible for alkanes, one of the main types of hydrocarbon molecule in crude oil, to evolve from biological precursors at the depths where reservoirs have typically been found and plundered. He has developed a mathematical model incorporating quantum mechanics, statistics and thermodynamics which predicts the behaviour of a hydrocarbon system. The complex mixture of straight-chain and branched alkane molecules found in crude oil could, according to his calculations, have come into existence only at extremely high temperatures and pressures�far higher than those found in the earth's crust, where the orthodox theory claims they are formed.
To back up this idea, he has shown that a cocktail of alkanes (methane, hexane, octane and so on) similar to that in natural oil is produced when a mixture of calcium carbonate, water and iron oxide is heated to 1,500� C and crushed with the weight of 50,000 atmospheres. This experiment reproduces the conditions in the earth's upper mantle, 100 km below the surface, and so suggests that oil could be produced there from completely inorganic sources.
Kenney's theories, when discussed at all, are universally described as "new," "radical," and "controversial." In truth, however, Kenney's ideas are not new, nor original, nor radical. Though no one other than Kenney himself seems to want to talk about it, the arguments that he presented in the PNAS study are really just the tip of a very large iceberg of suppressed scientific research.
This story really begins in 1946, just after the close of World War II, which had illustrated quite effectively that oil was integral to waging modern, mechanized warfare. Stalin, recognizing the importance of oil, and recognizing also that the Soviet Union would have to be self sufficient, launched a massive scientific undertaking that has been compared, in its scale, to the Manhattan Project. The goal of the Soviet project was to study every aspect of petroleum, including how it is created, how reserves are generated, and how to best pursue petroleum exploration and extraction.
The challenge was taken up by a wide range of scientific disciplines, with hundreds of the top professionals in their fields contributing to the body of scientific research. By 1951, what has been called the Modern Russian-Ukrainian Theory of Deep, Abiotic Petroleum Origins was born. A healthy amount of scientific debate followed for the next couple of decades, during which time the theory, initially formulated by geologists, based on observational data, was validated through the rigorous quantitative work of chemists, physicists and thermodynamicists. For the last couple of decades, the theory has been accepted as established fact by virtually the entire scientific community of the (former) Soviet Union. It is backed up by literally thousands of published studies in prestigious, peer-reviewed scientific journals.
For over fifty years, Russian and Ukrainian scientists have added to this body of research and refined the Russian-Ukrainian theories. And for over fifty years, not a word of it has been published in the English language (except for a fairly recent, bastardized version published by astronomer Thomas Gold, who somehow forgot to credit the hundreds of scientists whose research he stole and then misrepresented).
This is not, by the way, just a theoretical model that the Russians and Ukrainians have established; the theories were put to practical use, resulting in the transformation of the Soviet Union - once regarded as having limited prospects, at best, for successful petroleum exploration - into a world-class petroleum producing, and exporting, nation.
J.F. Kenney spent some 15 years studying under some of the Russian and Ukrainian scientists who were key contributors to the modern petroleum theory. When Kenney speaks about petroleum origins, he is not speaking as some renegade scientist with a radical new theory; he is speaking to give voice to an entire community of scientists whose work has never been acknowledged in the West. Kenney writes passionately about that neglected body of research:
The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not new or recent. This theory was first enunciated by Professor Nikolai Kudryavtsev in 1951, almost a half century ago, (Kudryavtsev 1951) and has undergone extensive development, refinement, and application since its introduction. There have been more than four thousand articles published in the Soviet scientific journals, and many books, dealing with the modern theory. This writer is presently co-authoring a book upon the subject of the development and applications of the modern theory of petroleum for which the bibliography requires more than thirty pages.
The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not the work of any one single man -- nor of a few men. The modern theory was developed by hundreds of scientists in the (now former) U.S.S.R., including many of the finest geologists, geochemists, geophysicists, and thermodynamicists of that country. There have now been more than two generations of geologists, geophysicists, chemists, and other scientists in the U.S.S.R. who have worked upon and contributed to the development of the modern theory. (Kropotkin 1956; Anisimov, Vasilyev et al. 1959; Kudryavtsev 1959; Porfir'yev 1959; Kudryavtsev 1963; Raznitsyn 1963; Krayushkin 1965; Markevich 1966; Dolenko 1968; Dolenko 1971; Linetskii 1974; Letnikov, Karpov et al. 1977; Porfir'yev and Klochko 1981; Krayushkin 1984)
The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not untested or speculative. On the contrary, the modern theory was severely challenged by many traditionally-minded geologists at the time of its introduction; and during the first decade thenafter, the modern theory was thoroughly examined, extensively reviewed, powerfully debated, and rigorously tested. Every year following 1951, there were important scientific conferences organized in the U.S.S.R. to debate and evaluate the modern theory, its development, and its predictions. The All-Union conferences in petroleum and petroleum geology in the years 1952-1964/5 dealt particularly with this subject. (During the period when the modern theory was being subjected to extensive critical challenge and testing, a number of the men pointed out that there had never been any similar critical review or testing of the traditional hypothesis that petroleum might somehow have evolved spontaneously from biological detritus.)
The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not a vague, qualitative hypothesis, but stands as a rigorous analytic theory within the mainstream of the modern physical sciences. In this respect, the modern theory differs fundamentally not only from the previous hypothesis of a biological origin of petroleum but also from all traditional geological hypotheses. Since the nineteenth century, knowledgeable physicists, chemists, thermodynamicists, and chemical engineers have regarded with grave reservations (if not outright disdain) the suggestion that highly reduced hydrocarbon molecules of high free enthalpy (the constituents of crude oil) might somehow evolve spontaneously from highly oxidized biogenic molecules of low free enthalpy. Beginning in 1964, Soviet scientists carried out extensive theoretical statistical thermodynamic analysis which established explicitly that the hypothesis of evolution of hydrocarbon molecules (except methane) from biogenic ones in the temperature and pressure regime of the Earth�s near-surface crust was glaringly in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. They also determined that the evolution of reduced hydrocarbon molecules requires pressures of magnitudes encountered at depths equal to such of the mantle of the Earth. During the second phase of its development, the modern theory of petroleum was entirely recast from a qualitative argument based upon a synthesis of many qualitative facts into a quantitative argument based upon the analytical arguments of quantum statistical mechanics and thermodynamic stability theory. (Chekaliuk 1967; Boiko 1968; Chekaliuk 1971; Chekaliuk and Kenney 1991; Kenney 1995) With the transformation of the modern theory from a synthetic geology theory arguing by persuasion into an analytical physical theory arguing by compulsion, petroleum geology entered the mainstream of modern science.
The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not controversial nor presently a matter of academic debate. The period of debate about this extensive body of knowledge has been over for approximately two decades (Simakov 1986). The modern theory is presently applied extensively throughout the former U.S.S.R. as the guiding perspective for petroleum exploration and development projects. There are presently more than 80 oil and gas fields in the Caspian district alone which were explored and developed by applying the perspective of the modern theory and which produce from the crystalline basement rock. (Krayushkin, Chebanenko et al. 1994) Similarly, such exploration in the western Siberia cratonic-rift sedimentary basin has developed 90 petroleum fields of which 80 produce either partly or entirely from the crystalline basement. The exploration and discoveries of the 11 major and 1 giant fields on the northern flank of the Dneiper-Donets basin have already been noted. There are presently deep drilling exploration projects under way in Azerbaijan, Tatarstan, and Asian Siberia directed to testing potential oil and gas reservoirs in the crystalline basement.
It appears that, unbeknownst to Westerners, there have actually been, for quite some time now, two competing theories concerning the origins of petroleum. One theory claims that oil is an organic 'fossil fuel' deposited in finite quantities near the planet's surface. The other theory claims that oil is continuously generated by natural processes in the Earth's magma. One theory is backed by a massive body of research representing fifty years of intense scientific inquiry. The other theory is an unproven relic of the eighteenth century. One theory anticipates deep oil reserves, refillable oil fields, migratory oil systems, deep sources of generation, and the spontaneous venting of gas and oil. The other theory has a difficult time explaining any such documented phenomena.
So which theory have we in the West, in our infinite wisdom, chosen to embrace? Why, the fundamentally absurd 'Fossil Fuel' theory, of course -- the same theory that the 'Peak Oil' doomsday warnings are based on.
I am sorry to report here, by the way, that in doing my homework, I never did come across any of that "hard science" documenting 'Peak Oil' that Mr. Strahl referred to. All the 'Peak Oil' literature that I found, on Ruppert's site and elsewhere, took for granted that petroleum is a non-renewable 'fossil fuel.' That theory is never questioned, nor is any effort made to validate it. It is simply taken to be an established scientific fact, which it quite obviously is not.
So what do Ruppert and his resident experts have to say about all of this? Dale Allen Pfeiffer, identified as the "FTW Contributing Editor for Energy," has written: "There is some speculation that oil is abiotic in origin -- generally asserting that oil is formed from magma instead of an organic origin. These ideas are really groundless."
(http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/04_04_02_oil_recession.html)
Here is a question that I have for both Mr. Ruppert and Mr. Pfeiffer: Do you consider it honest, responsible journalism to dismiss a fifty year body of multi-disciplinary scientific research, conducted by hundreds of the world's most gifted scientists, as "some speculation"?
Another of FTW's prognosticators, Colin Campbell, is described by Ruppert as "perhaps the world's foremost expert on oil." He was asked by Ruppert, in an interview, "what would you say to the people who insist that oil is created from magma ...?" Before we get to Campbell's answer, we should first take note of the tone of Ruppert's question. It is not really meant as a question at all, but rather as a statement, as in "there is really nothing you can say that will satisfy these nutcases who insist on bringing up these loony theories."
(http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/102302_campbell.html)
Campbell's response to the question was an interesting one: "No one in the industry gives the slightest credence to these theories." Why, one wonders, did Mr. Campbell choose to answer the question on behalf of the petroleum industry? And does it come as a surprise to anyone that the petroleum industry doesn't want to acknowledge abiotic theories of petroleum origins? Should we have instead expected something along these lines?:
"Hey, everybody ... uhhh ... you know how we always talked about oil being a fossil fuel? And ... uhmm ... you know how the entire profit structure of our little industry here is built upon the presumption that oil is a non-renewable, and therefore very valuable, resource*? And remember all those times we talked about shortages so that we could gouge you at the pumps? Well ... guess what, America? You've been Punk'd!"
For the sake of accuracy, I think we need to modify Mr. Campbell's response, because it should probably read: no one in the petroleum industry will publicly admit giving any credence to abiotic theories. But is there really any doubt that those who own and control the oil industry are well aware of the true origins of oil? How could they not be?
Surely there must be a reason why there appears to be so little interest in understanding the nature and origins of such a valuable, and allegedly vanishing, resource. And that reason can only be that the answers are already known. The objective, of course, is to ensure that the rest of us don't find those answers. Why else would we be encouraged, for decades, to cling tenaciously to a scientific theory that can't begin to explain the available scientific evidence? And why else would a half-century of research never see the light of day in Western scientific and academic circles?
Maintaining the myth of scarcity, you see, is all important. Without it, the house of cards comes tumbling down. And yet, even while striving to preserve that myth, the petroleum industry will continue to provide the oil and gas needed to maintain a modern industrial infrastructure, long past the time when we should have run out of oil. And needless to say, the petroleum industry will also continue to reap the enormous profits that come with the myth of scarcity.
How will that difficult balancing act be performed? That is where, it appears, the 'limited hangout' concerning abiotic oil will come into play.
Perhaps the most telling quote to emerge from all of this came from Roger Sassen, identified as the deputy director of Resource Geosciences, a research group out of Texas A&M University: "The potential that inorganic hydrocarbons, especially methane and a few other gasses, might exist at enormous depth in the crust is an idea that could use a little more discussion. However, not from people who take theories to the point of absurdity. This is an idea that needs to be looked into at some point as we start running out of energy. But no one who is objective discusses the issue at this time."
The key point there (aside from Sassen's malicious characterization of Kenney) is his assertion that no one is discussing abiotic oil at this time. And why is that? Because, you see, we first have to go through the charade of pretending that the world has just about run out of 'conventional' oil reserves, thus justifying massive price hikes, which will further pad the already obscenely high profits of the oil industry. Only then will it be fully acknowledged that there is, you know, that 'other' oil.
"We seem to have plum run out of that fossil fuel that y'all liked so much, but if you want us to, we could probably find you some mighty fine inorganic stuff. You probably won't even notice the difference. The only reason that we didn't mention it before is that - and may God strike me dead if I'm lying - it is a lot more work for us to get to it. So after we charged you up the wazoo for the 'last' of the 'conventional' oil, we're now gonna have to charge you even more for this really 'special' oil. And with any luck at all, none of you will catch on that it's really the same oil."
And that, dear readers, is how I see this little game playing out. Will you be playing along?
A few final comments are in order here about 'Peak Oil' and the attacks of September 11, 2001, which Ruppert has repeatedly claimed are closely linked. In a recent posting, he bemoaned the fact that activists are willing to "Do anything but accept the obvious reality that for the US government to have facilitated and orchestrated the attacks of 9/11, something really, really bad must be going on." That something really, really bad, of course, is 'Peak Oil.'
(http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/013004_in_your_face.html)
To demonstrate the dubious nature of that statement, all one need do is make a couple of quick substitutions, so that it reads: "for the German government to have facilitated and orchestrated the attack on the Reichstag, something really, really bad must have been going on." Or, if you are the type that bristles at comparisons of Bush to Hitler, try this one: "for the US government to have facilitated and orchestrated the attack on the USS Maine, something really, really bad must have been going on."
The reality is that the attacks of September 11, and the post-September 11 military ventures, cannot possibly be manifestations of 'Peak Oil' because the entire concept of "Peak Oil' is meaningless if oil is not a finite resource. I am not saying, however, that oil and gas were not key factors behind the military occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. The distinction that I am making is that it is not about need (case in point: there is certainly nothing in Haiti that we need). It is, as always, about greed. Greed and control -- control of the output of oil fields that will continue to yield oil long after reserves should have run dry.
One final note, this one directed at Michael Ruppert: I of course accept your challenge to participate in a public debate. However, I fail to see any benefit in limiting the audience of that debate to a "mutually acceptable panel of judges." I suggest we make this a truly public debate, available to anyone who wants to follow along. The debate, in other words, has already begun. Consider this my opening argument.
By the way, this isn't about 'winning,' and it isn't about a 'purse.' It's about the free and open exchange of ideas and information. It's about the pursuit of the truth, wherever that path may lead. And it's about presenting all the available information to readers, so that each of them can determine, for themselves, where that truth lies. To demonstrate my commitment to those goals, I will gladly post, exactly as it is received, any response/rebuttal to this missive that you should feel inclined to send my way. I will le

Re: Palast Debunks "Peak Oil": Dave McGowan Was First, How About Some Credit.
The 'Peak Oil' Team Sends in a Second Stringer!
[I have to apologize to my readers in advance for the level to which this 'debate' seems to have suddenly sunk. Unfortunately, the tone of the debate is largely set by the tone of the 'rebuttals' that I receive from Team 'Peak Oil.' And I did pledge that I would post, and respond to, any rebuttals/responses that I received, so I am duty bound to post this one. Sadly, it looks as though the tone isn't likely to improve; even as I prepare to send this posting out, I have a pompous, bombastic, arrogant, bullying, accusatory response sitting in my in-box from Michael Ruppert himself. It's probably best to put the kids to bed, because this could get ugly.]
I was a little worried that those in the Ruppert camp would be smart enough to not respond to my last newsletter. Those worries were quickly put to rest, however, as it took less than 24 hours for me to receive an ill considered, vitriolic response -- although not from Ruppert, but from his friend, colleague and defender, Larry Chin.
I don't really know much about Larry Chin. I know that he writes for Online Journal, but I can't recall reading anything in particular that he has written. So I have little on which to base my opinion of Chin, other than his insult-laden response. And based on that, I have to wonder if Larry might be a little unstable. I also have to wonder why it is that these people get so pissed off when someone questions their beloved 'Peak Oil' theory.
Tell me, Larry, if what you are selling is good coin, then why do you get so defensive when someone questions it? I mean, did I get my panties in a wad and fire off hostile e-mails when your good buddy, Mike Ruppert, declared much of my work (and the work of many other writers/researchers) to be tantamount to "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"?
Of course I didn't. But you, Larry, just couldn't stop yourself from hitting that 'Send' button, could you? It's okay, you know, if you compose an angry, childish attack. That can be very therapeutic. But the thing is, Larry, you don't want to actually send it. Because then, you see, it could end up in one of these newsletters, and you could very well end up looking like a complete ass. And nobody really wants to see that happen.
I realize that that advice comes a little too late to help you out of your current predicament, but it might be something to think about in the future.
And now, without further ado, let's get to Mr. Chin's letter, which is a rather lengthy affair. It is reproduced here in its entirety, exactly as it was received, except that it will be presented piece by piece, so that I can respond to all the inaccuracies, lies, evasions, misrepresentations, and personal attacks. Chin's words will appear in blue.
While I have found some of your editorials over the years interesting, your long-winded attacks against Peak Oil researchers and advocates (of which Mike Ruppert, whom I consider a respected colleague and friend, is merely one) are, so far, quite unconvincing.
You have neither killed the messenger nor the message, while avoiding the substance.
I've got to say, Larry, that we're not off to a very good start here. First of all, I have only written one long-winded attack (not attacks) on the 'Peak Oil' theory. And if you think about it, it kind of had to be a little long-winded, because when you are questioning decades of conventional wisdom, you have to be as thorough as possible. If I had just written "Peak Oil is bullshit because oil is not a fossil fuel. The end," then people might not have found that to be a compelling argument.
I am not really sure how you have drawn the conclusion that I avoided "the substance." What exactly do you consider to be "the substance"? Since you didn't get it the first time around, let me briefly review my argument: 'Peak Oil' theories are based on the underlying premise that oil is a non-renewable 'fossil fuel,' and yet those same 'Peak Oil' theories do not bother to establish that that premise is true. Therefore, any conclusions drawn from that premise are meaningless. That, my friend, is the substance.
I think your confusion arises from the fact that you are not used to challenges of this nature. You were probably expecting some kind of false debate about 'known reserves' and 'recoverable reserves,' and all that stuff you guys like to talk about. But this is a much more fundamental challenge. This is a challenge to the validity of the underlying 'fossil fuel' hypothesis. So what you have to do in response, Larry, is demonstrate that the theory that provides the foundation of your 'Peak Oil' theory is valid.
Sorry, but that is how it works. I don't make the rules. By the way, did you happen to read the part of my "long-winded attack" where I explained that I had never said that Ruppert was the only one promoting 'Peak Oil'? I was just wondering, since you seem to have felt it important to point that out to me, as though I had misrepresented that fact.
You and others on the same bandwagon have strained to deny the fact of energy depletion, while insisting on a conspiracy theory that it is a long-planned psy-op that the Peak Oil researchers and advocates are either ignorantly, intentionally or unwittingly using to facilitate imperial war. You continue to insult the intelligence of a great number of individuals who possess far more expertise on energy and covert operations than I believe you have.
I have to tell you, Larry, that as bandwagons go, this one really sucks. I'm looking around and all I see are a lot of empty seats. The truth is that if you really are a regular reader of these newsletters, then you know that I am not really a bandwagon kind of guy. I do not toe any party line and I do not pander to any audience demographics. I call things exactly as I see them.
I have noticed that whenever anyone questions what you folks are selling, you try to cast them as part of some organized conspiracy to discredit virtuous people such as yourself. Is that the standard first line of defense for your people, employed to avoid discussion of the actual issues? Here is the problem, in this case, with that strategy: I am not affiliated in any way with any other researchers, writers, websites, discussion groups, activist groups, or any other groups with which you would like to lump me. I am just a guy with opinions, and a website that allows me to voice those opinions. And I happen to have, much to your consternation, independently drawn the conclusion that you are peddling bullshit. So here is my suggestion to you: try actually dealing with the substance of my critique, rather than trying to cast me as something that I am not.
As for "insult[ing] the intelligence of a great number of individuals" by challenging a theory, I guess by your rules there would never be any advancement of the sciences, since no one would want to insult anyone's intelligence by challenging the prevailing orthodoxy. By the way, while we are on this subject, I should mention that you have thoughtfully included in your little rant a number of examples of how to insult someone's intelligence. We will keep a tally of those as we go along.
You are right about one thing though, Larry: there are a lot of people, many of them in your camp, with far more expertise in covert operations than I -- if you catch my drift.
Nowhere have you directly addressed the actual facts, nor have you delved directly into the key sources cited in From The Wilderness by Ruppert, and Dale Allen Pfeiffer, who is a geologist.
Oh, wow. You say he's a real geologist? With, like, a degree and everything? I had no idea. My bad. You win, I guess. But for the record, I did address "the actual facts," Larry. The actual fact that needs to be addressed, or rather the question that needs to be answered, is: what are the true origins of petroleum? That is the key question upon which everything else hinges, despite the best efforts of you and your compadres to shift the debate to other questions.
Peak Oil, and all that it involves, is a vast body of work that has been built over many decades. I dare say, that body of work is a mountain next to your cloud of dust.
Dare I say, once again, that that "vast body of work" means absolutely nothing if the core premise is invalid.
Have you actually studied enough of that work before doing your strut? Have you actually read and studied Richard Heinberg's book? Colin Campbell's work? Do you really know what you're talking about? Well, I naturally have to balance my time between studying the literature and practicing my strut. It does take time to get it just right, you know, so I necessarily have to limit my reading time. Therefore, I generally stick to the non-fiction stuff.
By the way, did you just ask if I really know what I'm talking about? I think I'm going to have to count that as your first insult to my intelligence. It is not a clear cut case, I'll admit, but if we combine it with your earlier comment about my lack of "expertise," then I think we can count the two together as a first violation.
Your key premise questions the nature of oil itself. Unlike you, I am humble enough to admit that I am no scientist, and will defer to scientists who can argue more effectively.
You can correct me if I'm wrong, Larry, but what you appear to be saying is that you cannot defend the underlying premise that your theory is based on, so you simply duck the issue by deferring to some unnamed "scientists." And yet, strangely enough, you feel fully qualified to discuss theories that are directly derived from the theory that you are not qualified to discuss. I don't know, to be honest with you, if "humble" is really the right word to describe that. And by the way, I don't remember ever implying that I was a scientist.
But it's clear that you dismiss geology itself as fraud, work that has been subjected to decades of study and verification. You provide no proof of this conspiracy, no specifics, only a speculation, and what appears to be a very poor presentation of the geology that you are attacking.
Actually, Larry, I dismiss Western petroleum geology as a fraud, not the entire field of geology. There is a subtle difference there that you may not have picked up on. And since I provided a "very poor presentation of the geology" that I am attacking, here is a novel idea: why don't you, or one of your colleagues, prepare a proper presentation of the science? Since your theories are based on it, that might be a good thing to have posted on the website. It's called building an argument. You first establish your premise, and then you draw conclusions from it. You might want to look into that.
The only weapon in your pocket is an alternative geological theory that has been raised many times over the past few decade by others, and disproven just as many times. Again, I will leave it people with the scientific knowledge to show you how far off the mark you are.
Okay, I'll wait right here while you go get them .... .... .... still waiting, Larry .... .... .... are they coming or what? .... .... what's that? You say you don't actually have any specific scientists to refer me to? Oh. Okay. Well, thanks just the same.
For the record, the modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins has not, contrary to your claim, been either raised or disproven. You see, Larry, we are not talking here about a large body of scientific research that has been reviewed and rejected. We are talking about a body of scientific research that has never been acknowledged. Did you miss that part the first time around?
What I can tell you with more certainty is that your characterizations of Ruppert and From The Wilderness are laughably ignorant, wildly wrong and quoted completely out of context. So far out of context that your characterizations are, as Ruppert says, borderline libelous. Clearly, you have a very poor grasp of the publication and Ruppert's work.
If you think my comments are libelous, then sue me. In the immortal words of George Kerry (or was it John Bush?), "bring it on"! And that "laughably ignorant" comment? That's number 2, Larry.
In response to your statements:
If Ruppert is not selling the necessity of war, then exactly what is the message that he is sending to readers with such doomsday forecasts? I am not a paid subscriber and can therefore not access the 'members only' postings. But I doubt that I am missing much.
If you had any inkling about Ruppert, his life and his views, you would not even ask this profoundly ignorant question.
Sorry to interrupt you, Larry, but that is number 3. Which is worse, by the way, "laughably ignorant" or "profoundly ignorant"? I'm just trying to settle a bet with the wife. Anyway, back to you ...
It does not help that you are not a subscriber who has not read many years of key material (the most exhaustive reports, the most important editorials). The message that FTW has published for years has been the most consistently and powerfully clarion call against war, imperialism and elite crime I have ever seen. This is explicit on the pages of FTW, and further reinforced emphatically in Ruppert's lectures, interviews and presentations. That you deny this speaks to your myopia.
I had no idea that FTW had all the "key material" locked away in the 'members only' vaults. Good thinking there, guys. You don't want that sort of information to get out to very many people. It's much better to keep that kind of stuff under lock and key. I don't know why I didn't think of that. By the way, what is a "consistently and powerfully clarion call"?
And nowhere is this more obvious than in his treatment of Peak Oil. FTW has issued a warning about the crisis itself, exposed and tracked the war architects, war beneficiaries, and their machinations, and repeatedly offered advice on preparation and alternatives. FTW has done no less than call for people to change the way they think and live, so that they are no longer the victims and facilitators of tyranny, oppression and elite crime.
Wow! What do you guys do with your afternoons?
In "The Background is Oil" by Dale Allen Pfeiffer (December 27, 2001), a critically important first piece that laid out the Peak case, and the geostrategy driving the unfolding war and global crisis, FTW's stance is clear:
"There are solutions, however, that do not necessitate the global dictatorship that is rapidly falling upon us all."
"People are being diverted from seeing that we have just enough energy resources left that we could build a true ectopian democracy where all of us could lead freer, healthier lives. We need bottom-up democracy. We need small-scale economies and small-scale technologies powered by renewable energy. We need smaller communities, structured to be self-sufficient, all tied together by high speed monorails. We need gardens and park in our cities instead of cars. We need social halls, not shopping malls. And we have enough energy remaining to do this, if we act now.
The oil elites, however, want to use our remaining energy resources to establish a security state where they can enjoy the remaining riches while the rest of us suffer, starve and slave for them. Yet they are not the ones pulling the triggers and enforcing the rules. We are. And that's what they fear the most. So tell me, what do you think we should let happen now?"
I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I wasn't really listening. I got distracted early on, when you noted that the "critically important first piece that laid out the Peak case" was posted just three-and-a-half months after September 11, 2001. After that, all I heard was some mumbo-jumbo about a completely unrealistic future society.
In fact, FTW is selling the necessity of opposing war and all of its pretexts. And this is just one passage from one article. The many, many articles on Peak that followed repeat the same themes. Coupled with the rest of FTW's work, one would have a extremely dim bulb to accuse Ruppert of being a warmonger, an agent, or any friend of the Bush administration, the oil companies, etc.
An "extremely dim bulb"? I hate to do it to you, Lar, but I'm going to have to ding you on that one. That's number 4. By the way, if you are going to accuse someone of being a "dim bulb," don't you think you should do it in a grammatically correct way? Just something to think about.
The message there seems pretty clear: once the people understand what is at stake, they will support whatever is deemed necessary to secure the world's oil supplies. Dave, your understanding of the message is utterly idiotic, nonexistent. In fact, FTW has done nothing but call for people to explicitly oppose the war, and fight against its proponents. FTW has documented and blown open the lies and the pretexts. That is what the publication is about.
"Utterly idiotic"? That's number 5, Larry. And for what it's worth, I personally think that if you are going to continue to resort to name calling, you really should just come right out and say what you want to say. No beating around the bush. If I were going to go that route (though of course I wouldn't), I might say something like: boy, that Larry Chin is a real fucking moron. Or maybe: Larry, you are one stupid son of a bitch. Or even: Larry Chin? Now that's one dumb motherfucker right there. Try it out on your own. You'll probably get the hang of it after a while.
By the way, you seem to have snipped and pasted my comment without including the quote from the FTW posting that I was commenting on. I am surprised, frankly, that you would do that, given your obvious concern for not taking things out of context. For the record, Larry, my interpretation of the quote appears to be accurate.
I also never implied that Ruppert came up with the idea on his own. I am aware that the theory has a history. The issue here, however, is the sudden prominence that 'Peak Oil' has attained. The wholesale promotion of 'Peak Oil' seems to have taken off immediately after the September 11, 2001 'terrorist' attacks, and it is now really starting to pick up some steam.
Peak Oil has not attained "sudden" prominence by any stretch, nor any "wholesale promotion" immediately following 9/11. In fact, there was a great deal of silence on the subject, save for a few courageous voices (Heinberg, Ruppert). The gradual acknowledgment of what I believe is an unavoidable reality, has been grudging at best. What has gradually seeped into the mainstream media, primarily in the past year, is merely vindication and corroboration; the culmination of years of hard work and advocacy done by courageous individuals of diverse backgrounds, and at times opposing political beliefs, to warn the public at large of a looming crisis that is, should be, larger than politics. Wow! You guys are like real American heroes! I had no idea. I'm not sure though that I am buying your claim that the "Peak Oil' theory hasn't been thrust center stage since 9-11. Didn't we just establish that FTW first took up the issue just a few months after the attacks? And haven't we also established that a glut of books has hit the market in the last two years (mostly from decidedly mainstream publishers, by the way), the first one appearing just a few weeks post-September 11?
And is that pattern somehow unique to the petroleum industry? Or is it a pattern that has been followed by just about every major industry?
No. FTW has continuously documented specific energy company activities, particularly as they have related directly to the geostrategic (war) policies of governments to which they are tied at the hip. FTW's team has shown very clear and convincing proof that recent troubles faced by energy companies is directly attributable to depletion, and they have the sources to support their case.
If that is a "no" to the first question, then I guess we agree on something. If it is a "no" to the second question, could you kindly explain how the pattern of mergers and acquisitions in the petroleum industry differs significantly from the pattern of mergers and acquisitions in any other industry? I need a little clarification on that.
Another telling sign of 'Peak Oil,' according to Ruppert and Co., is sudden price hikes on gas and oil. Of course, that would be a somewhat more compelling argument if the oil cartels did not have a decades-long history of constantly feigning shortages to foist sudden price increases on consumers (usually just before peak travel periods).
If you believe that current price hikes are not driven by shortage and depletion, prove it. Also, prove which shortages in the past were "feigned" or manufactured. It sounds as if you are handing out a homework assignment, Larry. Do I have to show all my work, or can I just write down the answers?
You people are very good at issuing confrontational challenges, but you aren't so good at sticking to the issue at hand. As a reminder, the thing that primarily needs to be proven is the 'fossil fuel' theory. Because without that, you got nothing. I hate to beat a dead horse here, but that proof has to be the first plank of your argument. You can try to argue around it all you want, but we're really not going to make much progress here if you insist on doing that.
Contrary to the argument that appears on Ruppert's site, it is not need that is driving the oil industry, it is greed. I am not saying, however, that oil and gas were not key factors behind the military occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. The distinction that I am making is that it is not about need. It is, as always, about greed.
The argument that FTW makes, in the most simplistic terms,
Thanks for keeping it simple for me, because, as we both know, I'm kind of a dim bulb.
is that Peak is an ultimately avoidable fact,
It is? How can we ultimately avoid what is, according to the 'fossil fuel' theory, inevitable? And haven't you guys been saying that "Peak" (I guess that is how you hipsters refer to it) is already here? Can you please make up your mind? It's hard to debate a moving target.
and that the oil industry is driven by both need and greed, among easily hundreds of other specific agendas, including the structural maintenance of the existing world economic system, and the very root of how business is conducted---kickbacks, favors, deals, blackmail, influence, etc.. These agendas are not mutually exclusive, except in the limited minds of some.
"Limited minds"? There you go again, Larry. That's number 6.
This crisis is an end result of societies and systems that are fueled by both need (supply and demand) and greed, and this will be the case, to the bitter end. It is this dynamic that FTW emphatically denounces.
Damn, Larry, you seem to have completely missed the point. "Need" in this case refers to that which is absolutely necessary for the survival of the human species (have you forgotten that your experts have claimed that the end of petroleum means the possible extinction of man?). The distinction here has nothing to do with supply and demand. The question is whether the oil companies are acting to secure the oil supplies without which life as we know it will cease to exist, or whether this is just business as usual.
In what is undoubtedly the most bizarre posting that Ruppert offers in support of his theory, he ponders whether dialogue from an obscure 1965 television series indicates that the CIA knew as far back as the 1960s about the coming onset of 'Peak Oil.' Even if that little factoid came from a more, uhmm, credible source, what would the significance be?
Here is where your ignorance, inaccuracy, and bias spill over.
That's number 7.
The piece itself is subheaded explicitly with the following: Was it just a writer's fantasy? Or did they know something... FTW takes a fun peek into a time when TV shows actually had plots.
Nowhere does Ruppert purport this "fun peek" as major proof of his case. Nowhere does Ruppert claim that the "Secret Agent" TV series proves that the CIA had knowledge of the onset of Peak Oil.
One question, Big Lar: do you actually bother to read my comments before you cut and paste them? Because, to be honest with you, it doesn't appear that you do. For example, did I say that Ruppert presents it as "major proof of his case," or did I merely say that it is "the most bizarre posting that Ruppert offers in support of his theory"? And did I say that Ruppert claims that it "proves" something, or did I say that he "ponders" whether it indicates something? In the future, you might look less deceitful if you don't reprint my words and then misrepresent them when they are right there on the page for everyone to see.
(In another article, Richard Heinberg documents that fact, based on declassified documents, that the CIA did have an interest in Peak Oil as far back as 1977. This piece is at www.museletter.com/archive/cia-oil.html and was reprinted in FTW.)
Ruppert himself has written, with a cocksure swagger, that "there are no more significant quantities of oil to be discovered anywhere." A rather bold statement, to say the least, considering that it would seem to be impossible for a mere mortal to know such a thing.
Once again, ignorance and a quote out of context. Ruppert's statement is supported by a wealth of documentation, based on region-by-region and country-by-country studies of oil supplies.
"Ignorance," Larry? What are we up to now -- number 8?
Can you explain to me, Larry, how exactly the quote is taken out of context? The claim that the quantity of oil yet to be discovered can be precisely quantified is repeated throughout FTW's 'Peak Oil' postings. I read it several times and I didn't even get to the really good stuff that you guys keep locked in the vault. Each time, the claim was presented as an absolute, unassailable fact. The figure given is either 149 or 150 billion barrels. That is what Ruppert has repeatedly claimed.
Tell us, Dave, if you believe Ruppert is mistaken, where there any more untapped supplies that years of exploration have not found. (In fact, tell ExxonMobil, and make millions for yourself.)
I would respond to that, but I can't really be sure that it is even a question. It kind of starts out as a question, but then it sort of drifts off into semi-incoherence.
The Times also informed readers that Roberts has a new book due out in May, entitled The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World. Scary stuff. Beating Robert's book to the stores will be Colin Campbell's The Coming Oil Crisis, due in April. Both titles will have to compete for shelf space with titles such as Richard Heinberg's The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies, published April of last year; David Goodstein's Out of Gas: The End of the Age of Oil, which just hit the shelves last month; and Kenneth Deffeyes' Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage, published October 2001. The field is getting a bit crowded, but sales over at Amazon.com remain strong for most of the contenders. I guess the cat is pretty much out of the bag on this one. Everyone can cancel their subscriptions to From the Wilderness and pocket the $35 a year, since you can read the very same bullshit for free in the pages of the Los Angeles Times.
Has it occurred to you that this is further corroboration that Peak Oil is real, and that you are wrong? And that maybe, just maybe, it is important enough a crisis that not even your insidious corporate media psy-ops and sinister secret societies can continue denying it?
First of all, I notice that you have taken two or more passages from my missive and spliced them together without giving any indication that you have done so. And this isn't the first time that you have done that; it's just the first time that I am calling you on it. Did you notice that when I quoted from other sources in my piece, I did not change up the order of the comments, and if I left something out, I indicated that through the use of ellipses ( ... )? That's really pretty standard stuff, Larry. Maybe you should check into it, especially if you are going to run around accusing other people of misusing quotes.
As for whether it occurred to me that the Times piece was further corroboration that 'Peak Oil' is real -- that was the very first thought that crossed my mind. In fact, I almost trashed the whole piece I was writing. Here I was sitting there thinking that I had put together a pretty good argument, and then the damn Times had to come along and screw everything up. Because I knew right then, the minute that I read it in the Times, that it had to be true. I even thought briefly about trying to hide the article from you guys, but I wasn't sure if I could pull that off.
As for my "insidious corporate media psy-ops and sinister secret societies" -- I have to honest with you here, Larry: I didn't even know that I had those things. Do you know where I keep them, by the way, because I've been looking all over and I can't seem to find them? I even looked under all the sofa cushions.
I really need to ask here, Larry, if you even know who you are talking to? Because it really doesn't seem as though you do. You aren't really familiar with my writings at all, are you, Larry? I don't think that you even know my full name, which is why you keep addressing me as "Dave," as if we were good buds.
And what that valid science says, quite clearly, is that petroleum is not by any stretch of the imagination a finite resource, or a 'fossil fuel,' but is in fact a resource that is continuously generated by natural processes deep within the planet. I am sorry to report here, by the way, that in doing my homework, I never did come across any of that "hard science" documenting 'Peak Oil' that Mr. Strahl referred to. All the 'Peak Oil' literature that I found, on Ruppert's site and elsewhere, took for granted that petroleum is a non-renewable 'fossil fuel.' That theory is never questioned, nor is any effort made to validate it. It is simply taken to be an established scientific fact, which it quite obviously is not.
I am quite sure that your "valid 'scientific' fact", which is a disputed theory, can be reduced to vapor, along with your poor representation of the other side. I will defer to a geologist.
Damnit, Larry, you're really starting to piss me off here! First of all, why are you putting quotation marks around a phrase that I didn't actually use? I have to be honest here, Larry: you really suck at this. And you have, once again, snipped out the context in which my comment was made. As we both know, I declared it to be "valid science" based on the explicit assertion of your mentor, Michael Ruppert, that peer review guarantees the validity of science, and based on the fact that the study was, as you also know, subjected to peer review. I know that it stings a little bit when someone is able to take your own words and turn them against you (actually Ruppert, in this case), but you're just going to have to grow up a little bit and learn to deal with it.
Worse yet, after misquoting me and taking my comments out of context, you then want to once again take the coward's way out by 'deferring' to your phantom geologist. How are we supposed to have any kind of a substantive debate when you refuse to defend the key points of your theory?
My question for you, Dave, is this: do you consider it honest, responsible journalism to dismiss a much larger body of scientific research, supported by and corroborated by even more scientists, as "speculation"?
You really seem to be having trouble understanding how this works, Larry. In order for you to be able to throw my words back in my face, I have to have actually uttered those words first. Mr. Pfeiffer, you see, actually used the words "some speculation" to dismiss a fifty year body of research. I did not. And did you miss where it was acknowledged that there are many unanswered questions in the West concerning petroleum and its origins? That means, Larry, that there are a lot of things that we do not know. And if there are a lot of things that we do not know, then the 'fossil fuel' theory is, by definition, speculative. Also, the fact that there are many unanswered questions should be kind of a tip-off to you that that large body of scientific research validating the 'fossil fuel' theory that you referred to probably doesn't actually exist.
Ruppert, Pfeiffer, Campbell, Heinberg, etc. have sourced their case. Where is your proof?
I thought that I mentioned that there were 4,000 studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Did you miss that part of the argument? You're really going to have to start paying attention, because I hate having to repeat myself.
Campbell's response to the question was an interesting one: "No one in the industry gives the slightest credence to these theories." Why, one wonders, did Mr. Campbell choose to answer the question on behalf of the petroleum industry?
Dave, you really have stumbled off the wharf here,
Uh oh. That's not good. Why wasn't there a guardrail or something?
grasping at vapor,
More vapor? What is with all the vapor, Larry? I probably wouldn't have stumbled off the wharf if I could have seen where I was going.
straining to parse a simple couple of words into some sort of conspiracy theory.
Is that what I was doing? It didn't really feel like much of a strain. All I did was note that Campbell, when asked his personal opinion about abiotic petroleum origins, chose to frame his answer in terms of what the oil industry thinks of the theory. Isn't that, after all, what he did? And really, Larry, do you think it wise to toss the "conspiracy theory" label around as a pejorative term? I have noticed that you like to do that, and it seems to me as though you are skating on pretty thin ice. I mean, don't you guys promote, for example, the idea that the CIA runs the global drug trade? And haven't you questioned whether Paul Wellstone was assassinated? I'm not saying that such claims are not valid, but can you really be unaware of the fact that the vast majority of people consider those to be "conspiracy theories"? Is this a "my conspiracy theory is better than your conspiracy theory" kind of thing?
Campbell meant what he said: people in the oil industry, who have spent their lives with oil, do not support the theory.
And I meant what I said: people in the oil industry have a very obvious vested interest in pretending that they don't support the theory.
And does it come as a surprise to anyone that the petroleum industry doesn't want to acknowledge abiotic theories of petroleum origins? Should we have instead expected something along these lines?:
If there is a conspiracy, prove it.
You people are really big on issuing confrontational challenges. You also seem to have an obsession with questioning my intelligence. So I have devised a little challenge for you, if you think that you are up to it: supervised IQ tests for you and me. I will match any amount of money that you want to put up for a purse. Winner take all. And just to show you that I am willing to be a sport about this, I will even spot you 10 or 20 IQ points.
For the sake of accuracy, I think we need to modify Mr. Campbell's response, because it should probably read: no one in the petroleum industry will publicly admit giving any credence to abiotic theories.
That is "Dave's version". Nothing more.
This is perhaps your most brilliant insight yet, Larry! Let me clue you in to a couple of other things that you may not have noticed: it is Dave's website (the www.davesweb thing is kind of a giveaway) and Dave's newsletter, in which Dave expresses Dave's opinions. See how that works, Larry?
But is there really any doubt that those who own and control the oil industry are well aware of the true origins of oil? How could they not be? Surely there must be a reason why there appears to be so little interest in understanding the nature and origins of such a valuable, and allegedly vanishing, resource. And that reason can only be that the answers are already known. The objective, of course, is to ensure that the rest of us don't find those answers.
Please tell us, Dave. You seem to have all the answers, on all the conspiracy theories.
What I have, Larry, is a comprehensive view of the world -- one that serves me rather well. You can agree with it or disagree with it. Either is fine with me.
The reality is that the attacks of September 11, and the post-September 11 military ventures, cannot possibly be manifestations of 'Peak Oil' because the entire concept of "Peak Oil' is meaningless if oil is not a finite resource.
And if you fail to disprove this, Dave, you have no leg to stand on.
Let's see now ... if I "fail to disprove" ... that's one of those double negatives, isn't it? I hate those things, Larry. But fortunately for me, I don't have to try to figure out what this one means, because, as it turns out, it isn't really up to me to disprove anything. You are the one that wants to use the 'fossil fuel' theory to build an argument. It is up to you, therefore, to establish that foundation before you build upon it. But what your team wants to do is to just declare that foundation to be solid, without supplying any verification, and then aggressively shout down anyone who challenges your argument. That, you see, is the problem here.
On the other hand, what if oil is finite. Then what?
Come on, Larry, did you really read my posting? Is there a literacy problem here we should know about? Why are you wasting my time asking questions that I already answered in the rant that you are responding to?
Greed and control -- control of the output of oil fields that will continue to yield oil long after reserves should have run dry.
Virtually every article published by FTW emphasizes this exact point. Well, I can see that you guys have everything under control. My work is done.
(case in point: there is certainly nothing in Haiti that we need)
A spectacular crash and burn on your part, Dave. Do you have no inkling about the oil and gas reserves of Latin America, the importance of narcotics to the world economy, and Haiti's critical geostrategic value (proven repeatedly throughout history) to both of the above?
A spectacular failure to understand the point I was making, Larry. A "need" is very different from a "want." I repeat: there is nothing that we need (to sustain human life) in Haiti. I am well aware that there is much that we want.
By the way, Larry, when you're done lecturing me about history, you might want to spend a little time over at my website. Try clicking on the link labeled "Books by the Host." Then you can not only find out my full name, you can have a peek at the books I have written. One of them covers twentieth century American history. There is even stuff in there about Haiti.
The problem here seems to be that you have a tendency to shoot from the hip, firing off accusations and drawing conclusions without really knowing what you are talking about. I cannot emphasize enough that doing that will dramatically increase the likelihood that you are going to come off looking like a real asshole. I am trying to look out for you, Larry, but you are making it rather difficult.
Do you know nothing about Venezuela?
Didn't he used to pitch for the Dodgers?
Have you been so asleep at the wheel that you have not kept up with the specifics of the Aristide kidnapping, the Bush administration's direct involvement in the coup, the CIA backgrounds of the death squad members who have taken the country? Take some time and go to www.flashpoints.net or www.narconews.com
Holy cow! When did all that happen? Thanks for the tip, Larry. I had no idea. Luckily, one of us is really smart and really knowledgeable about such things.
It's kind of hard for me to believe, quite frankly, that you completely missed the point of my mention of Haiti. But that appears to be the case, so let me spell it out for you: my point was that not all U.S. military ventures are driven solely by oil concerns. Implicit is the acknowledgment that the coup in Haiti was U.S. engineered; otherwise, why would I have even brought it up?
By the way, Larry, while you are visiting my site, you might try actually reading some of my past newsletters. You might find that I have covered the events in Venezuela a number of times in the past couple of years. Sometimes I even provide links to postings on narconews.com. In fact, the last time I checked, there was a permanent link to narconews.com on my Links page.
Did you notice that I actually read through some of the postings on From the Wilderness, so that I could quote from them and critique them? That's kind of what you have to do if you want to critique my opinions on other topics. Because if you just start firing away without even bothering to read a single word that I have written on any given issue, then, to repeat once again, there is a very real possibility that you will end up looking like an enormous asshole.
Then tell us how unimportant Haiti is.
It is amazing how much mileage you are trying to get out of one little parenthetical comment that you obviously didn't even begin to understand. One final time: I never said that Haiti was unimportant in terms of what U.S. elites want. I don't know why you can't seem to grasp the distinction.
To sum up, over and above your obvious bias, your case is extremely flimsy. I suggest you do even more homework, instead of issuing sweeping pronouncements and misusing the Internet to smear the reputations of well-intentioned and courageous advocates.
That's it? You're done? And you're calling my case flimsy? You haven't even presented a case, Larry. Nor have you rebutted a single compelling element of my case. You did not mention nor respond to a single one of the sources that are quoted at length in my posting. Not one, Larry. You did not mention, nor attempt to explain, any of the recurring phenomena that contradict the foundation of your theory. And you have admitted several times that you cannot defend the underlying premise of your theory (although you claim that mysterious, unnamed scientists can).
Frankly, Larry, I was hoping for a little something more from you. This isn't really the level of debate that I had in mind.
One last thing, Larry: I have let you slide on a number of comments in your rant, but you have stepped way over the line by accusing me of "misusing the Internet to smear the reputations of well-intentioned and courageous advocates." Who are you to accuse me of "misusing the Internet"? As a matter of fact, who are you to accuse anyone of "misusing the Internet"? Where do you get the idea that you have a right to police the Internet? And what exactly is "misusing the Internet," Larry? Is it using the Internet to post opinions that challenge your own? Is that what it is, Larry? Are you a closet fascist, Larry? And who are you to claim that my purpose is to "smear the reputations of well-intentioned and courageous advocates," as if I am not a well intentioned advocate myself? You don't have a clue who I am or what work I have done. And frankly, you are not worth any more of my time.

Central Michigan sophomore Jordan Foley delivers a pitch versus Northern Illinois at Theunissen Stadium. Foley was recently named to the 2013 National Pitcher of the Year Award watch list. Jordan Foley Named to 2013 Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List
MOUNT PLEASANT — Central Michigan sophomore Jordan Foley has been named to the initial watch list for the 2013 Pitcher of the Year Award, sponsored by Diamond Sports.
Foley is one of 41 players named to the list for the award that will be presented during the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s Night of Champions on June 29. He is just one of two players representing the Mid-American Conference on the list, joining Ball State’s Scott Baker.
The right hander has ranked among the nation’s leader in ERA (1.02), strikeouts (70) and strikeouts per nine innings (10.22) while posting a 6-1 record on the mound. He has allowed just seven earned runs on the year and is limiting batters to an average of just .185 at the plate. A year after walking nearly a batter per inning, Foley has found his command in his second season in the Maroon and Gold, walking just 24 batters in 62.1 innings.
A native of The Colony, Texas, Foley has twice been named the Mid-American Conference West Pitcher of the Week and leads all qualified starters in ERA and strikeouts. Foley has been just as dominant in conference play, posting a 2-1 record with a 0.95 ERA while striking out 37 batters in 28.1 innings.
Foley will be back on the mound this Friday when the Chippewas travel to Toledo for a three-game series versus the Rockets. ADDITIONAL LINKS

Israeli fighter jets and Saudi missiles
Saturday, 13 Jul 2013 | 12:17 AM ETCNBC.com Jack Guez | AFP| Getty Images
Earlier this month, a report by Reuters on the state of Israeli air defenses flew under the radar. The story noted that an F-16 on a training mission crashed into the Mediterranean due to apparent engine failure. The jet is made by Lockheed Martin and the engines by Pratt and Whitney, a division of United Technologies. Both Reuters and Agence France-Presse said the head of Israel's air force then grounded all F-15s and F-16s pending further review. The IAF's own website said its commander "ordered a moratorium on any further training sessions of the F-15I and F-16I Formations until all details clear up." Those aircraft make up nearly the entirety of Israel's fighter jet force. Grounding all of the planes—whether completely or for training - would seemingly leave the Jewish State without appropriate air cover at a time when Egypt and Syria are especially unstable and Iran remains a threat (though Israel has many other weapons in its arsenal). Meantime, the U.S. has said it will sell Israel some V-22 Ospreys, made by Textron's Bell Helicopter, which could potentially be used in an attack on Iran. The country will also be the first international customer for Lockheed's F-35, which won't go into service until sometime after 2018. Long term, a military source told the Associated Press that Israel wants to have a combat air force comprised almost entirely of unmanned aircraft, but that is decades away. Those future programs don't address the current situation. The IAF has provided no further update on the state of its fighter force, and it turns out Israel may have more to worry about than Egypt, Syria, and Iran. In a provocative report, IHS Jane's Intelligence Review claims analysis of images in Saudi Arabia indicate "a hitherto undisclosed surface-to-surface missile base deep in the Saudi desert...with the launch pads pointing in the directions of Israel and Iran." IHS Jane's analysts believe the base is—or will be- stocked with Chinese-made intermediate range ballistic missiles. The Saudis have been one of America's biggest defense customers, buying 84 Boeing-made F-15s in 2010 for a record $29 billion. Now the U.S. is selling the Saudis air-to-ground missiles, presumably for those same jets. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that latest sale at the same time he announced the Osprey sale to Israel. Could Saudi Arabia be buying American missiles, and at the same time preparing to aim Chinese missiles at one of America's staunchest allies? Is Saudi Arabia protecting itself from what it perceives as a threat? "We cannot be certain that the missiles are pointed specifically at Tel Aviv and Tehran themselves, but if they were to be launched, you would expect them to be targeting major cities," said the IHS Jane's report. "We do not want to make too many inferences about the Saudi strategy, but clearly Saudi Arabia does not enjoy good relations with either Iran or Israel."- CNBC's John Torrisi contributed to this report.

Page ContentColorado State University - Pueblo hosts President of The Education Trust April 18
PUEBLO – One of the nation's leading advocates in the field of education will share national data on access and success in higher education at Colorado State University-Pueblo on April 18. Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust, will focus specifically on access and success of low-income students and students of color beginning at 10 a.m. in the Occhiato University Center Ballroom. She will address problems that contribute to different patterns of success, and share what some institutions are doing to increase opportunities for low-income and minority students.The Education Trust, established in 1996, works for the high academic achievement of all students at all levels, pre-kindergarten through college. The organization’s goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign too many low-income students and students of color to lives on the margins of the American mainstream. Known for years as a powerful force on education policy, Ed Trust is often described as “the most important truth teller” in American public education. But the organization also works hand in hand with educators and civic leaders in their efforts to transform schools and colleges into institutions that serve all students well. Before coming to The Education Trust, Haycock served as Executive Vice President of the Children's Defense Fund, the nation's largest child advocacy organization. A native Californian, Haycock founded and served as President of The Achievement Council, a statewide organization that provided assistance to teachers and principals in predominantly minority schools in improving student achievement. She also served as Director of Outreach and Student Affirmative Action programs for the nine-campus University of California system.Kati Haycock speaks about educational improvement before thousands of educators, community and business leaders, and policymakers each year.

Joe Kelly: "I Kill Giants"
Fri, April 25th, 2008 at 10:47am PDT
Updated: April 25th, 2008 at 10:53am Comic Books
Shaun Manning, Staff Writer
I Kill Giants on sale in JulyThis July, Goliath better watch his back. Image Comics' I Kill Giants, a seven-issue miniseries written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by JM Ken Niimura, finds a young girl struggling with the pressures of growing up -- and giants. CBR News caught up with Kelly to discuss the new project.“I Kill Giants is the sort of book I've wanted to write for a long time,” Kelly told CBR News. “It's the comic equivalent of an indie film--funny, raw, starring real people going through real problems -- with a twist. I couldn't be more proud of the story and the book itself, which is going to be gorgeous. “The story follows Barbara Thorson, a troubled but resilient fifth grader who's a bit of an outcast -- Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy and general mopery are her hobbies. But it looks like she's taking the fantasy thing a little too far. She's always talking about giants, reading books on giants, setting traps for giants, getting ready to kill a giant. Almost the entire story is told from her point-of-view, so we see what she sees: pixies, critters, and a monster that lives upstairs in her house, so terrifying that Barbara only sleeps in the basement. So is she crazy, or does she know something that we don't? Does she have an active imagination, or does she see another world? Pages frrom I Kill Giants“The story kicks off as this fantasy world begins to crack because of some outside forces--a bully, the school psychologist, and her first real friend.”If Kelly’s description of an “indie film” comic seems a bit of a departure from his superhero books like Action Comics and JLA and the animated adventure series Ben10 for which he is perhaps best known, the shift is a long time coming. “I love superheroes and always plan to have a foot in mainstream comics, but the truth is I should have been writing stories like this ten years ago,” he said. “My sensibilities are for quirkier, ‘darker’ stories, and that doesn't always jibe with mainstream stuff -- the quirk, not the dark! We tend to get pigeonholed in this business, and my brain just doesn't work that way. I love kids’ stuff, I love Vertigo books, I love small indies and epic manga. So now, that's what I'm writing, and luckily Image is happy to have it!” Pages frrom I Kill GiantsThe tone, then, is dark without reaching for a “mature readers” label. “Barbara's story is meant for teens and adults, definitely,” Kelly confirmed. “I really enjoy ‘stories about children that are for adults,’ which is a weird sub-genre to me. Something like Pan's Labyrinth fits in here, Heavenly Creatures, etc. There's a magical realism aspect to I Kill Giants that hits the more mature reader, while the humor and the meat of Barbara's story is something any 13-year old can relate to.”Joining Kelly on I Kill Giants is a newcomer to American comics, JM Ken Niimura. A Japanese-Spanish artist who has contributed to the Japanese in Mangaland language instruction series and several European comics, Niimura met Kelly at a convention in Spain. The writer describes Niimura as “a mad genius.” “Ken is a brilliant artist with an incredible depth of style and technique. He's also heavily manga influenced, so the book is being done in what I'd call a ‘loose manga’ style -- his line is very fluid and relaxed, wash inks, etc. He brought so much to this book, it was like I wrote it for him. I'm seriously lucky to have gotten to work with him before anyone in the U.S. (or the rest of the world, for that matter) knows his name -- this guy is going to be a superstar. I plan on locking him in my basement.” Pages frrom I Kill GiantsI Kill Giants is the first of many stories Kelly is working on that are off the beaten trail. This year's slate also includes Four Eyes, a revenge story about illegal dragon fighting in 1930s Brooklyn. “It's awesome and drawn by Max Fiumara,” Kelly said. “We'll have a preview of that book available in July. "Then my children's book, Douglas Frdericks and the House of They, comes out later in the year, drawn by Ben Roman. I'm very proud of that as well, it's gorgeous.

Executive summary Introduction Strategy Results Discussion Conclusions Recommendations Acknowledgement References
Noise levels in music entertainment venues are generally excessively high. A high rate of hearing loss sustained by the staff working in this industry has been reported. Nightclubs, pubs and taverns in Western Australia are on average noisier than our UK counterparts, and also noisier than 5 years ago. Music entertainment venue managers' awareness of their legal obligations to reduce their staff's risk of hearing loss under the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations is still very low, and needs to be further increased. Employers and people having control of music entertainment venues need to take practicable steps to reduce this risk, such as assessing the risk, considering noise control measures, providing training on noise and hearing protection, and supplying appropriate hearing protectors to employees. Employees' awareness of this risk is also very low. Most of those working in music entertainment venues have not taken the necessary measures to protect their own hearing.
Exposure to high levels of music in the entertainment industry has long been an important concern to those interested in hearing conservation. With the introduction of new and affordable powerful music equipment, the concern about noise-induced hearing loss due to loud music is increasing. Most previous studies on music noise in the music entertainment industry have focused on the public or the musicians. Due to much longer exposures to loud music, it is reasonable to believe that the hearing of employees working in the music entertainment industry is at much greater risk. Therefore, noise-induced hearing loss among employees working in the music entertainment industry is a more important concern that needs to be studied.
An excellent review of noise levels and noise exposure to workers in pubs and clubs was conducted by the United Kingdom Health and Safety Laboratory (2002). This reviewed published studies in this area from 1985. All these previous studies indicated that noise levels were very high in almost all of the studied entertainment venues. In the 15 studies that assessed daily noise exposure levels (LAeq,8h), the levels ranged from 89-100 dB(A). In the majority of cases employees were subjected to daily noise exposure levels greater than 90 dB(A). Noise-induced hearing loss among employees has also been investigated previously. A recent UK study (Sadhra et al. 2002) looked at the noise exposure and hearing loss among 14 students working in a university entertainment venue. Their noise exposure levels ranged from 89 to 98 dB(A). The hearing of these part-time bar and security staff working up to 16 hours a week was examined. It was found that 29% of the young student employees showed permanent hearing loss of more than 30 dB at either low or high frequencies.
The number of employees working in the music entertainment industry has been increasing. It was estimated that Britain's pubs, bars and nightclubs employed about 568,000 people in 2002, an increase of more than 153,800 compared to 1992 (RNID 2004). Australia also has a large number of people working in this industry. Our 4627 pubs, taverns and nightclubs employed around 84,000 people in 2001 (ABS 2001), which was 7% more than at the end of June 1998. It is important to protect the hearing of this group of employees. The risk of people working in the music entertainment industry suffering noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus has long been recognised by WorkSafe Western Australia. It was the first jurisdiction in Australia to develop and issue a Code of Practice, Control of Noise in the Music Entertainment Industry, in 1992. This was reviewed and updated in 1999, and again in 2003. The Code of Practice aims to give practical guidance on reducing noise exposure in music venues and how to meet legal obligations. To promote this Code of Practice and the principal Code, Managing Noise at Workplaces, and to increase the industry's awareness of its responsibilities to control noise exposure of the employees, WorkSafe Western Australia conducted an inspection project in music entertainment venues in 2000. (The report of this project can be found here)
It was concluded in the project that compliance with the noise aspects of occupational safety and health legislation was very low in the music entertainment industry. The music entertainment industry, in general, was not fully aware of its responsibilities under the occupational safety and health legislation. It was recommended in the project report that a follow-up study be conducted after a period of time (MacMillan and Gunn 2000).
3. Strategy
The first phase of the study was conducted from late 2004 to early 2005. With the support of inspectors from the Western Australia Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor, 17 licensed nightclubs, pubs and taverns with different music types were selected. Among them, three had been investigated before in the 2000 project. Music types in these 17 venues during the study were live bands, disc jockeys (DJ) and recorded background music. Noise levels were measured and relevant noise information was obtained during each site visit. Feedback regarding exposure to music noise was obtained from staff via a questionnaire. This first-phase investigations were conducted between 9:00 pm and mid-night. Six venues were visited on a Friday night in August 2004 and 11 were visited on two Friday nights in January 2005. Friday nights were selected as they are one of the busiest nights of the week. Venues open longer hours and normally are full with patrons on Friday nights. The music type at each venue was identified and classified. The noise management system of each venue, such as policies or procedures regarding music noise, noise control measures and noise education and provision of hearing protectors, was checked during the visits. A questionnaire was also distributed to staff in each venue. Noise exposure related information, such as the length of employment in the industry; work shift pattern; work task; availability of hearing protectors; use of hearing protectors; hearing problems; and hearing tests, was collected through the questionnaire. An additional 28 licensed music entertainment venues were randomly selected for the second phase of the project conducted in late 2005 and early 2006. Instead of assessing and measuring noise exposure levels, the inspections focused on the availability of any suitable system or procedure for minimising employees' noise-induced hearing loss. Systems or procedures for controlling the employees' noise exposure were checked in each of these venues - based on what type of music the venue had for its music events. According to the Western Australian Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, when employees are likely to be exposed to excessive noise, the person in control of the workplace has the responsibility to control the noise as far as practicable. A proper noise management system shall be put in place, including: noise assessment; implementation of practical measures to reduce the noise; provision of noise and hearing protection information to the employees; and provision of suitable hearing protectors. Excessive noise, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, is any noise exposure level higher than the noise exposure standard LAeq,8h of 85 dB(A) or LC,peak of 140 dB(C).
For those venues where a proper noise management system was not in place, law enforcement actions were taken. These actions included issuing Improvement Notices, which gave the workplace a specified time to fix the problem, and giving Verbal Directions to the venue management if the problem could be remedied immediately. Training and information materials on reducing employees' noise exposure, such as WorkSafe Western Australia's Codes of Practice - Managing Noise at Workplaces and Control of Noise in the Music Entertainment Industry and other relevant information on noise assessment and hearing loss prevention, were provided to each venue during the project. Some of the venues were visited again after the implementation of improvements. The purpose of the revisit was to verify the improvement the workplace had achieved.
Questionnaire forms and copies of noise assessment reports conducted by consultants were also collected at that time. The data and information from these reports were assessed and analysed.
4.1. Results of daily noise exposure level measurements During the nights of the investigation in the first phase of the study, 9 venues had live band music, 6 had DJs playing amplified music, and 2 had recorded background music. The daily noise exposure levels for different employees and in different venues varied significantly, ranging between 85 and 103 dB(A). Though the noise exposure level in those venues with recorded background music only marginally exceeded the noise standard, noise in those venues with either live band music or amplified music with DJ was far above the noise standard - all exceeding 90 dB(A). The overall averaged daily noise exposure levels for the three different music types and with different work tasks are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Averaged daily noise exposure levels (LAeq,8h) associated with different work tasks for different music types. (dB(A))

Peak noise levels were generally measured below 140 dB(C), though a couple of readings exceeding 140 dB(C) were recorded in two noise assessment reports prepared by consultants. These two extreme readings were not supported by the site screenings and most other detailed measured data. Because these two extreme readings were recorded by dose meters, it is very likely that they were due to mishandling the dose meter, such as an impact on the microphone.
4.2. Results from noise questionnaire Altogether 106 employees working as bartenders, DJs, security, glass collectors, and floor managers, returned the questionnaire during the first phase of the study. It was found that about 85% of them were either part-time or casual staff. They typically worked 6-12 hours a shift. Figure 1 shows the length of employment in this industry of the responding employees. Although most of them had worked in this industry for no more than three years, over 17% had stayed for over 5 years. Also Fig. 2 shows that over 27% of employees joined the industry less than one year ago. The majority of employees (>95%) knew neither their noise exposure levels, nor the exposure standard for noise at workplaces. Nor did they understand the risk of hearing loss when exposed to excessive noise. 40%

Figure 1. Length of employment with the industry.
Findings of hearing problems, hearing tests and availability and use of hearing protectors are shown in Fig. 2. It can be seen that although most employees admitted that hearing protectors were available for use in the workplace, only a small percentage (28%) used them frequently or occasionally when working with high music levels. 12% claimed that their ears rang either during or after their work. About 9% claimed that they sometimes had trouble hearing conversations after their shifts. Only 11% had recently had their ears or hearing checked.

4.3. Law enforcement action Of the 45 venues inspected during both phases of the study, 36 hosted high music level entertainment events with DJ or live band. Among these 30 had not had a proper noise assessment done, 32 had not provided noise and hearing loss information and hearing protection training to the staff, and 26 had not supplied appropriate hearing protectors to their employees. Consequently, 103 improvement notices were issued to 35 venues. The workplaces were given information and directions, as well as a period of time, to make the improvements. All venues confirmed to WorkSafe Western Australia that improvements were achieved within the given time. Some of the improvements were checked and verified during revisits.
5.1. Noise exposure levels Compared with the noise exposure levels measured in the 2000 project, employees are exposed to higher music levels, as shown in Table 2. Taking all comparable music types and work tasks, noise exposure levels are 1-9 dB(A) higher on average than 5 years ago. Table 2. Differences between averaged daily noise exposure levels measured in2004/2005 and 2000. (dB(A)) Music type

Figure 3. Comparison of averaged staff daily noise exposure levels with live band music or DJ.
The average daily noise exposure levels of bar staff, glassies, security staff, managers, and DJs, working with live band music or amplified music with DJ, are compared with those measured in the 2000 project, and those averaged from 15 previous overseas studies (HSE 2002). The results are shown in Fig 3. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that noise and employees' noise exposures in Western Australian music entertainment venues are at very high levels. The noise exposure levels of employees with different work tasks have all increased significantly from 2000. Except for the noise exposure of the security staff, noise exposure levels of our bar staff, glassies staff, and DJs are all higher than those levels averaged from 15 previous overseas studies. 5.2. Industry's awareness of noise responsibilities Compared to the situation in 2000, the industry's awareness of its responsibilities in managing excessive noise exposures has increased, as shown by Fig. 4. 50%
Noise assessed Staff trained HP provided 2004/05
2000 Figure 4. Percentage of venues that complied with noise management requirements. About 26% of venues had done a proper noise assessment, compared to none in 2000. About 22% of venues had developed a noise control policy and provided information and training on noise and hearing protection to their employees. Only about 8% of venues did that in 2000. Over 44% of venues provided hearing protectors to their staff, up from about 38% in 2000. However, Fig. 4 also demonstrates that the industry's awareness of its noise control responsibilities and compliance with the legislation are still very low. Site visits indicated that many employers had no idea of occupational noise standards and regulations. Some of them even confused their responsibilities for reducing employees' noise exposure levels with their responsibilities for limiting environmental noise emissions, as many of the venues have environmental noise limitations on their licences. Employees' awareness of the need to protect their own hearing is also very low. The majority of staff chose not to use hearing protectors even when they were provided. The reasons given for not using hearing protectors are various, such as: hearing protectors affect my conversation with patrons; do not know any risk for not using hearing protectors; or want to take the risk if any. For most of those venues in which hearing protectors are provided, use of hearing protectors is only an option determined by employees themselves. 6. Conclusions
It is recognised that the problem of noise exposure in the music entertainment industry is special and difficult. Unlike other industries, where noise is a hazardous by-product that should be eliminated, noise is actually the desired product of the music entertainment industry. Clearly venue operators and owners are in a difficult situation. On one hand they have to run a commercially viable business offering music desired by customers, on the other hand they have a legal obligation to provide a working environment which will not damage the hearing of the employees. The evidence from this study and all previous studies shows that there is no doubt that the daily noise exposure levels of workers in pubs and clubs exceed the noise exposure standard of LAeq,8h = 85 dB(A) in the majority of cases. However, enforcement of noise control has been made difficult in this industry due to the "as far as practicable" constraint in the statement regarding the reduction of the noise level in the Regulations. It is very important that some specific guidance is disseminated, which ensures that employees are to be protected whilst maintaining commercial viability for the venue, such as WorkSafe Western Australia's Code of Practice - Control of Noise in the Music Entertainment Industry.
Results from this study indicate that employees' daily noise exposure levels in Western Australian pubs, nightclubs and taverns have increased significantly since 2000. With the increasing number of people working in this industry, the need to target and solve this problem is becoming more important. Currently, the industry's awareness of music noise risk - the employers' responsibilities for reducing employees' noise exposures and the employees' responsibilities for protecting their own hearing - is still very low, though it has increased since the last project in 2000. Continuous efforts to increase the industry's awareness are very important. It was found in this study that the three venues that were visited in the 2000 project had much better noise management systems. They all provided hearing protectors to their employees, and had policies to reduce employees' risk of noise-induced hearing loss. It is proof that some employers in the music entertainment industry are willing to take responsibility to protect their employees' hearing once they are aware of their legal obligations.
7. Recommendations
Continuing to increase the industry's awareness of their legal obligations under the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations is still a very effective approach to the problem in the current situation. This will be done by providing more owners of pubs, nightclubs and taverns with information, education and training that explain the reasons for enforcement of the legislation, methods of compliance and practical methods of reducing the employees' noise exposure levels. It will also be done by taking law enforcement action if required. Informing the general public about the possible risks of hearing loss associated with frequent attendance at places that play loud amplified music can also be useful in changing the noisy culture of the industry. As a result, the noise exposure levels of the employees would also be reduced. This information needs to be provided in a manner that does not sensationalise the problem but informs of practical steps that can be taken to avoid the possibility of hearing damage.
Research and development on new, effective and economically practicable technologies or devices for reducing the employees' noise exposure levels in the industry are also necessary. Most of the venues started considering the control measures after an inspection. However, most common engineering control measures taken were relocating or redirecting loudspeakers. Though these measures could reduce the noise exposures of the staff, due to the indoor reverberant environment, their effects are very limited. 8. Acknowledgment

Teacher Calls Student ‘Prostitute,’ I Think She Deserves an Award
In a suburb of Washington D.C., a Germantown teacher was forced to apologize to a student after telling her she was dressed like a prostitute.
The Washington Post reported this week:
A Montgomery County teacher who told a high school sophomore last week that she was dressed like a prostitute has apologized to the student and her mother, the mother said Tuesday. The Seneca Valley High School teacher made the remark Thursday and had a security guard escort the student to the main office, said Naomi Lynn, the girl’s mother. The incident was first reported by WJLA (Channel 7). Lynn said she wasn’t satisfied with the response; after a one-day absence, the teacher returned to class Tuesday, Lynn said. “If my daughter had called her a prostitute, [the school] would have suspended her,” she said. The teacher “needs to be punished for what she did.” Dana Tofig, a school system spokesman, said that he couldn’t comment on personnel matters, but that the teacher’s comment was “inappropriate.” I personally want to thank this teacher for having the guts to say what so many teachers and school administrators are afraid to say.
Whatever happened to enforcing standards in our schools? I remember our principal would get on us if our jeans were a little too tight. At some point, it seems the school community just gave up:
You want to wear a thong hanging out of your jeans, you want to have your boobies falling out, your ass cheeks popping out of your low-riders, no problem.
Notably, the only person the parent in the above story is mad at is the teacher. She’s mad at the teacher for speaking the truth about her daughter. As a result, the teacher was suspended for a day, however, the mother seems to think this punishment was too light. Something tells me she needs to worry more about her daughter than this teacher’s career.
Children learn what is and isn’t appropriate from adults. How will this young lady ever learn how to function as a lady if her parents and school administrators, the people who spend the most time with her and are most influential in shaping her life, just let her run wild?
We forget that high school students are a mix of adult-bodies and children-brains. Many young women want to look like their favorite video hos but don’t understand the ramifications of the way they dress.
They don’t understand how they will be perceived, they don’t understand that they will invite more trouble than they can handle. And because they don’t understand, it is up to us to tell them and make them understand.
Whatever happened to “you are not going out the house like that”? I think it is the responsibility of the community and the schools need to step in.
And although teens will be defiant, won’t listen and pack a bag with a change of clothes, at least we will have shown them that there is a standard and they can choose to meet it or not.
Although we all acted out as teens, most of us at least had a moral compass that was enforced by our parents, so we knew we were wrong and would just pray we didn’t get caught.
But what happens when children don’t have a moral compass to start from? When there is no clear distinction between right and wrong? When your bad choices go unchallenged? When adults will accept anything in the name of keeping them happy and avoiding conflict at all costs? What happens?
To stand around and passively endorse their inappropriate dress with our inaction is unforgivable. Look at all those awful prom pictures (like the one pictured above) that circulate each year with a bunch of scantily clad young women. The schools may as well go all the way and set up a pole in the middle of the gymnasium.
I always wonder, Where are the parents? And if the parents are dumb enough to let their kids come out like that, where are the school administrators? They should have turned around those girls at the door and told them that they were inappropriately dressed for a school function.
I know we’re only talking about clothes, but it’s larger than that. We cannot underestimate the importance of teaching young women how to present themselves to the world. This is a lesson that can make the difference between a girl growing up believing she’s only good for one thing and a girl that knows she has so much more to offer than her body.
Whether we use shame, positive enforcement, punishment or some Dr.Phil hybrid of the three, we MUST demonstrate to our children that standards do exist. There is acceptable and unacceptable. And it is adults, not children, who will decide which is which. This girl was in the 10th grade, and I personally think she’s old enough to be told she’s dressed like a prostitute. The real problem is that her mother didn’t tell her first.
Peace people…

What Hillary Clinton's 2014 Book Probably Won't Cover
April 4, 2013 at 11:14AM
by Anna Breslaw
Big news this morning, y'all. Secretary of State and potential presidential candidate (also: power player, role model, and one half of, if I may, Billary) Hillary Rodham Clinton will be releasing a new book about foreign policy from Simon and Schuster in 2014. According to the New York Times, "The yet-to-be titled book will use a number of dramatic moments during Secretary Clintons tenure as Secretary of State to frame her thoughts about the recent history of U.S. foreign policy and the urgent, ongoing need for American leadership in a changing world."
Other topics will include the killing of Osama bin Laden, the overthrow of Libya's Qaddafi regime and her controversial handling of it, and the killings of three Americans (one an ambassador) in Benghazi last year. In addition, it will address the feminist Clinton's specific attention to women and girls in underdeveloped nations.
The book will doubtlessly be fascinating, but we have to admit that there are certain topics that likely won't be included that, frankly, we're dying to know. Clinton's known for being tight-lipped about her personal life, which illuminates the double standard faced by women in politics: One can hardly imagine her describing, as President Obama wrote about Michelle in The Audacity of Hope, that their first kiss "tasted like chocolate").
But the personal lives of politicians, regardless of their gender, have always been fascinating to the rest of us. Particularly the Clintons, whose marriage could be of convenience, of love, of mutual respect... or all of the above. Or none of the above. As both Bill and Hillary have dealt with health problems in the last few years, it's become clear that there's a chance we may never know the true nature of their marriage.
Granted, a biopic screenplay called Rodham circulating Hollywood may display more of the private side of Hillary. But not without taking some artistic license, I'm sure.

Well today is meh , i was asked if i wanted to work on a short film with a production company then. What happend was a meeting that i couldnt go to due to them changing the venue location 1 hour before it was happening s i contacted them , then i got a email basically saying im not part of the production anymore due to not contacting them -_-
Also the company i work for filming their videos changed their times three times before i just finally got here..... Well today is going to be fun.....g
*update 13:37* we did some filming and my microphone has died on me....... *Filmmaking... Meh*Last edited by John-luc (20 Sep 2012 - 13:38) 20 Sep 2012 - 13:2391303 ClosetFanGirl
Joining in the singles conversation a bit too late, but: I'm gonna get loads of ferrets, and all the children will be afraid of me, cos I'll walk around with ferrets round my necks and in my pockets, and if they play outside my house I'll throw ferrets at them, 'RUN AWAY' they will shout!
Probably not, but its nice to have a back up plan!
Why do people say 'you deserve a job more than anyone' somewhere like on facebook, yes I know she's your girl friend, yes, I know she got a first, and I know I'm not the biggest fan of you in the first place. But that comment really pissed me off! I'm working my arse off trying to find a job, and in this economy I'm having a serious problem. One person has even told me that people don't want to employ graduates in entry level positions because they could steal their jobs! Urgh!
And at least I finished uni, at one point I didn't see that happening, I just wanted to quit, thank god I didn't, but still! I'm not saying I deserve a job more than original person, but still..... I'm probably over reacting, I know I am, but its annoying! I guess I'll just have to stick it out, but it's pissing me off immensly.
I start pre-employment training tomorrow, maybe that will help!__________________ Last edited by ClosetFanGirl (20 Sep 2012 - 13:26) 20 Sep 2012 - 13:5091304 Isabela

A rant from Jae:
I broke my goddamn cafetiere. How in a monkey's butthole am I gonna get my delicious caffienated brew? I may as well take my socks off and use them like a ****ing phillistine or drink instant coffee like some kind of uneducated plebeian; hoping the subtle notes of carbon, shame and dispair would fill in for the ever so wonderful chocolately and toffee hints of my b******ing Guatamalen ****ing dark roast, as if I'd have no qualms about doing the same to other aspects of my life such as decided I no longer need to feed myself nutritional foods I can just simply rely on my microwave to take all the joy out of cooking and feast upon the aromatic e-numbers and preservatives. Hell, I should tell my girlfriend that I'm no longer gonna take her out to places that are nice and build memories when I can just flick through a goddamn matalan catalogue with her and hope we come across some c***jugglingthunder****w***ing scenery in the back of the pictures!!

For me I can easliy say that it's the younger year students.
I'm in my last year of 6th form college and the new year 12s are just driving me up the walls. It's the way that they act in class both when the teacher is there and when they are not. And in the common room they have no respect for the year 13 and 14s that are trying to do their coursework or do revsion so that they pass their exams at the end of the year.
I'm getting to the point were I just might end up losing my temper at them and having the biggest snap that I've ever had or I goand ask one of the teachers if the PE department has a punching bag that I can use to work off my anger. 21 Sep 2012 - 15:5991413 JaeXD

Its probably cos they've just started college and they think the sun shines out of their arse holes! I'm sure they'll change their tune when they start getting serious course work!
Try going over and quietly asking them to keep it down a bit because your trying to work, failing that shout at them!__________________ 21 Sep 2012 - 20:1191430 Ice-climber

Spirituality and Intake: Taking that first step…
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” This is similar to the leap of faith our clients take when coming into counseling. In the last blog I talked about spirituality and informed consent, stating that it is our ethical responsibility to inform clients of our approach to therapy. I also stated that oftentimes it becomes clear during intake and informed consent whether spirituality will be a part of the initial counseling process. The purpose of this blog is to talk about specific questions counselors can ask, during intake, to gain clarity regarding the client’s spiritual and/or religious self.Initial assessment can assist both the counselor and client in obtaining a better understanding of the role spirituality and/or religion plays in issues the client brings to counseling. Assessment is also helpful in designing appropriate treatment interventions. The initial intake session is typically comprised of direct assessment activities which may include intake forms completed by the client, interviewing the client, and observation of the client. The use of intake forms can be helpful to obtain basic assessment information about the clients’ religious and spiritual beliefs and practice history, including denomination/faith of origin, current denomination/faith, role of faith in the client’s life, religious conflicts/support, or other important issues. Simple “yes,” “no,” “somewhat,” or “maybe” options keep the form brief, allowing it to be completed quickly by the client. Questions that leave space for the client to write more provide counselors with a more in depth understanding of the client’s perspective.Examples of yes, no, somewhat/maybe questions include: “Do you have a belief in God, a higher power, universal spirit, or other?”, “Would you like to discuss this belief/absence of beliefs?”, and “Have you experienced any changes in religious affiliation since childhood?” Open ended questions include: “How would you describe your religious or spiritual beliefs and practices?”, “What role has religion and/or spirituality played in your life?”, and “Has religions and/or spirituality contributed to any stressors in your life?” Questions which combine both open and closed ended questions are: “Are there any spiritual and/or religious resources that you feel are a source of strength? If so, what resources have you found helpful?” and “Are you currently affiliated with any religious denomination and/or spiritual practice? If so, what religious denomination or spiritual practices you are affiliated with?” Finally, including a disclaimer that clients can skip the remainder of the form if they do not want to discuss religious or spiritual issues in counseling is also important and typically is a clear indication of how much of the client’s spiritual or religious domain can or should be integrated in counseling.Graphing techniques, including genograms and ecomaps, can be used during the intake interview but often are utilized after the counselor had obtained basic information from the client and begun to explore the client’s presenting issue. Expressive techniques, which may include using sandtray, music, or various art forms, are not typically used. These are most helpful after the intake is complete, but they can be used if the counselor is having difficulty obtaining information from verbal methods, is trained to use these methods, and if the counselor has obtained consent from the client.Having addressed intake forms and the initial interview, the last tool which is helpful during intake is observation. Upon first seeing a client, the counselor begins observing the client’s appearance, behaviors, and word choices. Some aspects can provide the counselor with information about the client’s spiritual and religious perspectives. The counselor then can use this information to begin a discussion with the client about the client’s spiritual and religious beliefs and overall values. Wedding and engagement rings, cross and star pendants, bindis, Masonic rings, novelty t-shirts, uncut or shaved hair, head coverings, flag pins, colored ribbons, and tattoos are just a few examples of an endless assortment of ways that appearance can imply personal or spiritual beliefs and values. It is this type of observation of the client’s initial appearance and changes in the client’s appearance throughout counseling that helps the counselor obtain clues about the client’s spiritual and/or religious beliefs and overall values.Stephanie Dailey is a counselor, adjunct faculty and doctoral candidate at Argosy University-Washington, D.C. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5863 | {"url": "http://www.counseling.org/news/blog/aca-blog/2010/11/03/spirituality-and-intake-taking-that-first-step-", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.counseling.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:14:12Z", "digest": "sha1:BXQ3EPFAGZCGIOTELJTZSP7OONTIF5FO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4708, 4708.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4708, 8922.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4708, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4708, 86.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4708, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4708, 275.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4708, 0.41474654]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4708, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4708, 0.03644764]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4708, 0.01899384]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4708, 0.03105749]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4708, 0.02566735]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4708, 0.01925051]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4708, 0.00460829]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4708, 0.5]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4708, 0.14631336]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4708, 0.44005642]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4708, 5.49506347]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4708, 0.00115207]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4708, 5.15388474]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4708, 709.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 4708, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 7.0], [49, 4708, 702.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 4708, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.06122449], [49, 4708, 0.01030264]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4708, 0.19764084]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4708, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4708, 0.08171481]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4708, -271.23751875]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4708, 37.77803542]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4708, -194.87872461]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4708, 34.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Sony Sued for $10M Over 'American Idol' Royalties
By ANNIE YOUDERIAN Tweet (CN) - A record label owned by the British company that brought "American Idol" to the United States claims in court that Sony Music Entertainment cheated it out of more than $7 million in royalties. 19 Recordings Limited, the label of British entrepreneur Simon Fuller, claims Sony licensed "some of the biggest hits of the 21st century" by "American Idol" alumni who landed record deals with 19. Those artists include Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks, David Archuleta and David Cook, according to the federal lawsuit in Manhattan. The record label claims it learned through subsequent audits that Sony was underpaying royalties. "Despite Sony's systemic underpayments to 19, 19 attempted on several occasions to settle its claims with Sony," the label says. This hasn't happened yet, according to 19, because Sony has refused to provide the necessary books and records so that auditors could calculate potential claims. "Despite Sony's failure to provide all this necessary and relevant documentation and information, 19 has nevertheless been able to determine a number of ways in which Sony has breached the recording agreements and underpaid royalties due, but many more breaches and underpayments would likely be found if 19 and its auditors were given full access to Sony's books and records as the recording agreements expressly provide," the lawsuit states. The label says Sony breached the agreements by: underpaying royalties for streaming music; incorrectly deducting the cost of TV ads, foreign income tax and "a number of unsupported charges" from royalties due; improperly lowering 19's royalty rate for joint venture compilation albums; failing to increase the royalty rate by 1 percent when worldwide record sales topped 1 million; under-reporting record club royalties; failing to pay for songs used in movies and on TV; and failing to give 19 a cut of the awards and settlements it won in piracy lawsuits. "After 19 submitted its numerous claims set forth in the audits, Sony falsely manufactured counterclaims in an attempt to force 19 to settle for an amount less than what is due," 19 says. Sony had claimed it overpaid 19 for compilation albums and individual track downloads, but the record label calls the counterclaims "illogical and without merit." 19 Recordings demands $7 million plus $3 million in interest for breach of contract and breach of good faith. It also wants Sony to pay its attorneys' fees and costs. The record label is represented by Richard Busch of King & Ballow in Nashville.

Missed opportunity
The Newton County Board of Commissioners had a great opportunity last week to show the taxpayers — the commissioners’ bosses — that a fresh board with new perspective was not going to conduct business as usual. Sadly, it failed to do so.
During their recent meeting, commissioners voted to renew the contracts for recycling service and lawn maintenance five more years without placing the services out for public bid. The vote was split 3-2 with commissioners Lanier Sims and Nancy Schulz voting against the renewals.
These two companies have a good reputation and may very well have the lowest prices in the market, but how do we know if we don’t ask? We, as taxpayers, were not even given the opportunity to find that out, as commissioners John Douglas, Levie Maddox and J.C. Henderson voted to continue business as usual.
For years, Commissioner J.C. Henderson often voted alongside his two staunchly conservative colleagues, in a relationship that seemed to make for strange bedfellows, while at the same time occasionally siding with his fellow Democratic commissioners.
Normally, we’d credit someone for being flexible and willing to compromise in a time when the political arena is getting ever more divided and insular. However, we’re concerned that Henderson is continuing to play the pivotal role of swing vote on the board and will be willing and able to cast that vote in whichever direction is most advantageous for his personal gain.
If the rest of the board is going to continue to be split 2-2 on issues, then they’re putting a lot of power in the hands of Henderson.
Newton County residents have had to put up with this type of leadership for the past eight years. We don’t need or deserve it for the next four years. Let’s see some real compromise and commissioners actual working together. That sight would be a nice change.

Boston terrorist attack brings back memories of Atlanta bombing
By Dick Yarbrough
yarb2400@bellsouth.net
When the terrorist attacks occurred in Boston during the running of the Boston Marathon, memories came flooding back of our own dark days in Atlanta.
It was 17 years ago, July 27, 1996, when those of us who were a part of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games had our worst fears realized. A pipe bomb detonated in the Centennial Olympic Park during the middle weekend of that worldwide celebration, killing two people and injuring scores of others.
Just as with the authorities in Boston, we did not know at the time if our bombing was a coordinated attack or a random act of violence.
It turned out to be the latter. Eric Rudolph — an American citizen, by the way — placed a backpack filled with explosives in the park.
Evidently, in his haste to get away, he tilted the package back.
That caused the screws and nails inside to arc when the bomb exploded instead of shooting straight out as happened in Boston and probably prevented even more deaths and injuries.
Leading up to the Games, we had experienced the horrific bombing in Oklahoma City in April 1995, in which 169 people were killed, including 19 children.
Less than three weeks before our Opening Ceremonies, a truck bomb exploded outside a military complex in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others.
Terrorism was a major concern to us all and particularly to the Clinton Administration, which was hoping the 1996 Olympics would assure a group of happy and proud Americans in a re-election year.
Ironically, one of the people in the administration with whom I worked the closest was Deval Patrick, then assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice and now the governor of Massachusetts. A good man.
I remember a security briefing in which we were assured by confident law enforcement officials that if, by chance, there was a random act of terrorism, the instigators would be tracked down and apprehended quickly.
As I recall the conversation, those who would attempt such a deed were usually doing it for the first and only time and the government had rooms full of people who were experts at catching them.
We know today that Eric Rudolph eluded authorities for almost eight years before he was caught rummaging through a dumpster in the Murphy, N.C., area by a rookie cop. Thankfully, it looks as if our government has gotten better at walking its terrorism talk.
I suspect the 9/11 attacks hastened that process along.
The most shameful part of the aftermath of the Olympic Park bombing was the conduct of the media. It was pack journalism at its shabbiest.
The media hounded Richard Jewell, a security guard who discovered the bomb and alerted police. Initially hailed as a hero, Jewell was later pounced on as the prime suspect. This was some of the worst reporting — if not the worst — I have ever witnessed. Jewell later sued and won libel judgments against a number of media outlets before he died.
The mainstream media may have learned some lessons from that painful episode in Atlanta. The reporting from Boston seemed a little more responsible and a little less frenzied.
This time, however, it was the social media that showed little or no discipline in their rumors and innuendos about the investigation.
Unlike real journalists, they hide behind anonymity.
I am worried what impact these journalism wannabes will have on the coverage of events in the future but we had better get used to them. They aren’t going away.
Despite that traumatic night, the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games got back to business, thanks to athletes and spectators who refused to be intimidated by terrorism.
Unfortunately, the dysfunctional Atlanta city government never got its act together before or after the bombing and was an embarrassment to the world and to those of us who worked so hard to stage the Games.The Games showed what a provincial city Atlanta was and still is.
Boston, on the other hand, is one of the great cities of the world; rich with history and full of character.
If you know someone there, please tell them their friends down South hurt for them but we got through it and they will, too.
I wish I could say this kind of thing won’t happen again but I am not optimistic.
As long as there are wackos inhabiting the planet, there will always be the threat of terrorism.

With Michael Bourn, the Cleveland Indians take on a new identity
Blog entry: February 12, 2013, 10:39 am | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
How did this happen?How did the Cleveland Indians — who had a payroll barely above $49 million in 2011 — wind up signing two of the top free agents on the market to four-year contracts worth a total of at least $104 million?Outfielder Michael Bourn, an All-Star in two of the last three seasons, agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract with the Tribe on Monday night.If the contract options on Bourn and Nick Swisher vest for 2017, the Indians will have shelled out a combined $130 million for five years on a pair of free-agent outfielders.So much for the belief that no worthwhile free agents want to play in Cleveland.There are many reasons the Indians were able to remake their lineup this offseason — one being a lack of big-league-ready prospects forced their hands — but we'll focus on four of the biggest.1. Television money: The Tribe's sale of SportsTime Ohio to Fox Sports in December was worth a reported $230 million. The deal also will net the Indians an estimated $400 million in rights fees over the next 10 years.Granted, it's not Dodgers money, but it's certainly enough for the Dolans to push the Indians' payroll above $80 million for the first time since 2009.2. Thanks, CBA: Baseball's collective bargaining agreement now stipulates that a player who receives a qualifying offer from his former team will cost the team that signs him a first-round draft pick — as long as it is outside the top 10. This was huge for the Indians, whose No. 5 overall selection in 2013 was protected when they signed Swisher and Bourn.The Swisher signing cost the Tribe their second-round selection, and Bourn's contract, once finalized, will only result in the Indians losing a pick between the second and third rounds.The Mets, another team interested in Bourn, have the 11th overall pick in June, and thus were hesitant to spend that, plus at least $48 million, on Bourn.The Indians, even after two marquee free-agent signings, still have their first- and third-round picks this year.3. So long, Pronk: As I wrote 12 days ago, the Indians ridded themselves of their four largest salaries from 2012. Travis Hafner (who made $13 million last season), Grady Sizemore ($5 million), Derek Lowe ($5 million from the Indians, and $10 million from the Braves) and Shin-Soo Choo ($4.9 million) had their contracts run out or, in the case of Choo, were traded. That's $27.9 million off the books — $9.9 million more than the 2013 salaries of Swisher ($11 million) and Bourn ($7 million).4. The Francona effect: Terry Francona's hiring as manager can't be underestimated.With two World Series championships and five seasons with 95 wins or more in eight years with the Red Sox, Francona brings immediate credibility to the Indians' clubhouse.You also have to wonder if his surprise hiring last October was in part because he was told the Indians were going to spend big this offseason. But even Francona might not have imagined this.Maybe the Indians will get really crazy and spend more of their TV money on a starting pitcher.Kyle Lohse, anyone? This and that
Jim Davison, the curator of The Baseball Heritage Museum, said insurance adjusters are still taking inventory of the damage done by a busted pipe at the Colonial Arcade location. Davison hopes everything will be counted by the end of the week, and he can begin boxing up the memorabilia on the walls of the former home to various treasures from Major League Baseball and the Negro Leagues, along with broadcasting artifacts. The museum's future home hasn't been determined. The Cavaliers will host their 14th annual career fair prior to their game against the Hornets on Feb. 20. Attendees can meet with professionals in such fields as public relations, journalism, broadcasting, advertising, marketing, sales, business development, finance and sports medicine.Admission is $20. Included in the price is an upper-level ticket to the Cavs-Hornets contest.

Inauguration celebrations. Fun or a waste of time and money?
I think it should be tasteful and not a slap in the face to all the rest of the country that is struggling just to make it paycheck to paycheck. 10:02 AM
HahahaHahahhaaHahahhahaUmmm.. No. 10:02 AM
Don't care....
Not taking the bait...
Did you see what Beyonce wore to sing...geeez
*fart sound*

I think it's important to celebrate one of the most unique qualities of this country, which is the peaceful transfer of power every 4/8 years. Now, whether or not that's actually what is being celebrated . . .
Celebrate the fact that power passes peacefully from one US government to the next, even if you don't particularly like the person it's passing to. You get your chance at the next election. Peaceful transfers of power are pretty unusual in human history. We are lucky to have them.
Boom! My check is $70 less a week now, sooo not happy.
How about a donate the money to charity comment?
Every four years, we get to nonviolently elect a leader. I think that's something to celebrate.Of course, living in the DC area, I get annoyed with the additional traffic and accompanying problems, but overall I'm pro a little celebration.
@karen. When they scanned the crowd on the tellie, I thought, "Shit. I would hate to live in DC today."Inauguration Day is a day of pride for me. I did not vote for Obama, but I'm an American and I respect him and his office.I don't buy what he's selling on most issues, but whatever. He won the election fair and square.
Agree that we're VERY lucky to always have a peaceful transfer of power. HOWEVER:I'm not just saying this about Obama, I said it about Bush, Clinton & Reagan - is it necessary to put on such a show for the 2nd time? I understand the first time, the winner wants to celebrate and we want to show the peaceful transfer of power. But this time (and 2004, 1996 and 1984) there was no transfer of power - merely a re-affirmation. I suppose seeing another swearing-in is appropriate (although does the original oath expire?)(and it may be constitutionally mandated) but could easily be done such as Obama did yesterday, in the White House, with press coverage. You want to have some parties, no problem as long as they're paid for privately. But these obscenely elaborate re-inaugurations are just a complete waste of money. Money that could go to healthcare or the military or working on the infrastructure. Just my opinion.

We need some pomp and circumstance in our lives. This is at least as important as the Super Bowl halftime show. :P
@Susan, luckily (even though I live a few miles outside of DC) I work in the opposite direction so things were fine for me. My housemate planned to call in sick because her company said that no one was allowed to telework even though their office is right on the DC/MD border and will have ridiculous traffic.
I watched it last week.
I think it's cool to celebrate a peaceful passing of power, but it seems pretty frivolous to do it for a president's second term.
I think Redd hit the nail on the head. It is okay to celebrate, it is a big deal. However there is no need for an over the top, waste of funds party.
I am all for them when it is the person I voted for. When it is not, it's clearly a frivolous waste of money. That's the right answer, right?
I am overwhelmed with the funness of this event right now.
FSP- you are a new kind of beautiful my friend!!!
Hmm nope. I voted for Obama in 08 & 12, am deliriously happy he won both times, and I still think today is a frivolous waste of money.
My thoughts exactly. First time a ball and concert events is fine, second time around keep it low key.
I am sure they could save money on things, but I also don't think it's that big of a deal that they put on such a show. As far as huge wastes of government money go, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Mhdz
Hmm, a little from column A and a little from column B.
If you take into account all the luxuries the Obama family has enjoyed at the expense of working class Americans, and I mean the bottom thereof, there is really no reason to put on such an extravagant display. He won, hell, I voted for him, we get it, he's the first ever black president, woo hoo. There should be a spending limit on the inauguration and we, the people, should get to vote for the limit. 10:51 AM
serious waste.
@SusanB...It's paid for by donors and the party in power, so the money wouldn't go to other government things. 11:38 AM
*except for the parade and, of course, security. 11:40 AM
Not at all. I'm sure Republicans are going to incessantly whine about it, like they do everything else. The "Thanks, Obama!" meme is cracking me up, though.
I think it's a waste, but I'm glad work was cancelled and I didn't have to drive into the city today.
It's not something I really 'get' to be honest - in Britain we manage to have a peaceful transfer of government every 5 years and there isn't any big party or special ceremony or anything, it's just business as usual. The entity of government carries on regardless of who the individual people are, so there really isn't anything to make a fuss about. Is it really such a big deal for the US? 12:15 PM

A total waste in all respects. They have a celebration when the party nominates a presidential candidate, they have a celebration when a candidate wins the election, and they have another celebration when the candidate is sworn in. All that money spent could certain be put to a better use.
Why should we get to vote on the spending limit for the inauguration? Taxpayers aren't paying for it. For as long as I can remember (I'm 26), the inauguration has always been a big deal. I'm just happy I have cable, and am not forced to watch it on my day off. Booooring.
I think alot of the celebration oarts are more for the people who throw them. Idk, they have a cmmitte and private funds and thats their living so pres goes along with it. Plus plenty of people get and make money from this- builders, shops, resturants, planners, clean up crew etc. obama a pretty no nonesense guy; i doubt he instigates the hoopla. 12:48 PM
A VIP section at a democratic event! Does anyone else see the problem here?
Really, no fuss? Dont you have a royal family and castles and coaches and horses and coronations and huge weddings? Lolol. Thats not no fuss!! Yes, it is abig deal, and most of us enjou it. If not, as stated above, theres always cable!!!!
I dont find it a waste. It looks like fun. Its all private funds anyway. We dont have alot of pomp in america, so this is nice. 1:01 PM
Munch, how long did the Queen's Jubilee Celebration last? 1:16 PM
The last coronation was over 60 years ago and weddings aren't held every 4 years, so no, not really. Anyone winning an election is just an event that happens, not really a big thing for celebration. It happens every 5 years and someone or other is going to come out on top. As for horses and coaches... horses are there year round whether they're being ridden or not, same with coaches, castles more or less just sit there looking castellated for several hundred years, so... not sure what you mean. Are we expected to remove them when not in use?
To be clear, not saying it's a bad thing if you want to have a party for any reason, just that I don't really get why it's a big thing for an election which happens with great regularity. 1:20 PM
Yes, It is a tremendous waste of money and resources. It's basically a huge round of payola and ego-stroking for the winners and their financial contributors.BUT, in my adopted country, four people died yesterday, still fighting to establish some form of nascent democracy. And it just keeps getting worse here. Celebrate, America, for as flawed and full of pompous asses as your system is, it is still the best in the world. So celebrate your safety, celebrate your freedom, celebrate your DEMOCRACY!
Im saying your country is not without pomp. Perhaps not on occaison of new PM, but on other occaisions. We feel its a big deal. We were founded on orderly sucession of power, and we like to celebrate that. 1:50 PM
Isn't most of the cost of the event donated? I thought most of the cost came from committees and supporters, not the government.I have watched a bit of it today --there is something special about having it on MLK day--you can tell it means a lot to Pres. Obama. Mrs. O looked beautiful and warmer than the last time--her coat is great.
I don't know who decides such things, but I don't see a problem having a big celebration. I'm kind of envious bc it looks like a lot of fun.
@Turkish, that's really a great way to look at it. Thank you for sharing that with us. 2:50 PM
Richard Blanco, chosen as poet laureate by Obama. Here's a link to what he wrote for today's inauguration, I thought it was beautiful. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/21/text-of-inaugural-poem//
Tuxedo, so you didn't receive your invite in the mail either? My next door neighbors go to go, I think they stole my invitation.
Turkish, thank you.
@ Turkish - thank you for your wise words.@Agent - thank you for that link. His poem brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
bunny honey
Hey, as long as we'er(the taxpayers) not paying for it I say party on dudes. Lol!!
Want to be horrified your from OK? Shocking, http://www.thelostogle.com/2013/01/21/top-25-crazy-anti-obama-comments-posted-by-oklahomans-on-kfors-facebook-wall/
@jel - oh, no - I can only imagine. I'll have to look and feel the shame!! I know it'll be nuts - I've seen plenty of stuuupid stuff in my fb feed.
both. but when i saw it film of people waving flags and going kind of nuts, it reminded meof those weird political clips you see of china or the old USSR. 6:45 PM
Best day ever.

Thank you Agent, I have been offline for a few days celebrating my anniversary, but I watched this in my hotel room this morning and was blown away by his words...Nd turkishtaffy and everyone else who spoke so eloquently about today, right there with you. I sang along with the patriot songs (James Taylor!), cheered on the beautiful Obama daughters and Presidents Clinton and Carter, And teared up multiple times. So, yeah, I think the entire thing is worth celebrating.
Utter bs the second time around. 9:06 PM

When I was young - and a Democrat - I worked on the 1977 inauguration. In the parade, I had responsibility for everyone other than the President and Vice President. So the Inaugural committee - headed up the Senator Hubert Humphrey - the cabinet, the Supreme Court were all within my responsibility to get them seated, then into their vehicles and down to the reviewing stand in front of the White House. I had my own car in the parade - just after these officials.One of my friends stole the "Ted Sorenson - CIA" sign for that car that was to carry the Carter appointee for that post. He withdrew after the firestorm and I told him that story a decade or so later.Later that night, I was in charge of security at the Georgia/staff inaugural gala. I missed meeting John Lennon although I saw him at the event; I do get to say that I was at a party once with Lennon. I did meet Freddie Prinze - just days before his death. I've been invited to several others since and have not attended. But I think it is worthwhile for everyone. We live in a harshly partisan time and, while I am no fan of the current Administration, I like to think that we can come together for a moment and celebrate who we've been and reflect on where we're going. We have a great country. The peaceful transition of power in a powerful democracy is worth celebrating.

waste of money, If a president is re-elected there is no need for him/her to be re-sworn in for the 2nd time and it should just be business as usual, except for the new cabinet, that's too be expected.But this pomp & circumstance ceremony is not needed, unless the USA has a huge budget surplus it can afford to have a big splash. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5869 | {"url":

Concerns about the erosion of democratic safeguards in Hungary have coincided with a rise in extremism. This hearing will examine Hungary’s constitutional changes with a particular view to the independence of the judiciary, present-day Hungary’s relationship to its Holocaust-era past, and the implications of Hungary’s sweeping legal changes for civil society, including an independent media and religious organizations.

U.S. HELSINKI COMMISSION TO HOLD HEARING ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING
(Washington, DC) The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) today announced the following hearing:OSCE Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking: Outlook and Opportunities Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 10:00 am Dirksen Senate Office Building, SD-106 The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has emerged as the premier regional organization in the Northern Hemisphere coordinating institutional responses to human trafficking. This work has touched all corners of the OSCE region, now comprising 57 participating States and 11 Partner States in the Mediterranean and Asia. OSCE leadership has been accomplished through the cutting-edge research, policy recommendations, country visits, and expert training led by the OSCE Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (SR/CTHB) Dr. Maria Grazia Giammarinaro. The Office of the SR/CTHB has been instrumental in the implementation of projects and field activities in coordination with thematic units of the OSCE Secretariat in Vienna, Austria, as well as the Office of Democratic Institutions and Human Rights in Warsaw, Poland. Additionally, the SR/CTHB’s prominence in this field stems from leadership of the “Alliance Against Trafficking in Persons,” a vast coordinating body for major international organizations, civil society, and the intergovernmental entities united in fighting human trafficking. The hearing will examine the role and mandate of the Special Representative and Coordinator for Trafficking in Human Beings and her leadership of efforts to combat modern day slavery in the OSCE region. Dr. Giammarinaro will review the accomplishments of her tenure as SR/CTHB and identify future challenges and perspectives for OSCE action, including the outlook for an update of the OSCE Action Plan on Trafficking in Human Beings and subsequent OSCE commitments. Scheduled to testify: Dr. Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, OSCE Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking and Human Beings ### The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 57 countries.

AMENDMENT ON YUGOSLAVIA WAR CRIMINALS
AMENDMENT ON YUGOSLAVIA WAR CRIMINALSHonorable Christopher H. Smithof New Jersey
Mr. Chairman, I make a point of order that the language on page 107, lines 11 through 17, is not in order because it violates clause 2 of rule XXI of the House rules which prohibits legislation on an appropriations bill. The CHAIRMAN. Does the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. KOLBE) wish to be heard on the point of order? Mr. KOLBE. No, Mr. Chairman.
The CHAIRMAN. The Chair finds that this provision directly amends existing law. The provision therefore constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2 of rule XXI. The point of order is sustained, and section 577 is stricken from the bill. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows: WAR CRIMINALS SEC. 578. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to this Act may be made available for assistance, with the exception of humanitarian assistance and assistance for democratization, to any country, entity or municipality whose competent authorities have failed, as determined by the Secretary of State, to take necessary and significant steps to implement its international legal obligations to apprehend and transfer to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (the ``Tribunal'') all persons in their territory who have been publicly indicted by the Tribunal. (b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply unless the Secretary of State determines and reports to the appropriate committees of the Congress that the competent authorities of such country, entity, or municipality are-- (1) cooperating with the Tribunal, including access for investigators, the provision of documents, and the surrender and transfer of publicly indicted indictees or assistance in their apprehension; and (2) taking steps that are consistent with the Dayton Accords. (c) The Secretary of State may waive the application of subsection (a) with respect to a country, entity, or municipality upon a written determination to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate that provision of assistance that would otherwise be prohibited by that subsection is in the national interest of the United States. AMENDMENT NO. 8 OFFERED BY MR. SMITH OF NEW JERSEY Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment on behalf of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. CARDIN) and myself. The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Amendment No. 8 offered by Mr. SMITH of New Jersey: Page 108, after line 20, insert the following: SENSE OF THE CONGRESS RELATING TO COOPERATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA SEC. 579. (a) FINDINGS.--The Congress finds as follows: (1) All member states of the United Nations have the legal obligation to cooperate fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia . (2) All parties to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina have the legal obligation to cooperate fully with the Tribunal in pending cases and investigations.
(3) The United States Congress continues to insist, as a condition for the receipt of foreign assistance, that all governments in the region cooperate fully with the Tribunal in pending cases and investigations. (4) The United States Congress strongly supports the efforts of the Tribunal to bring those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in the former Yugoslavia to justice. (5) Those authorities in Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia responsible for the transfer of Slobodan Milosevic to the Tribunal at The Hague are congratulated. (6) The governments of Croatia and Bosnia are congratulated for their cooperation with the Tribunal, particularly regarding the transfer of indictees to the Tribunal. (7) At least 30 persons who have been indicted by the Tribunal remain at large, especially in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, including but not limited to Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. (8) The Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe recently adopted a resolution that emphasizes the importance of cooperation by member states with the Tribunal. (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.--It is the sense of Congress that:
(1) All governments, entities, and municipalities in the region, including but not limited to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , Serbia, and the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, are strongly encouraged to cooperate fully and unreservedly with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in pending cases and investigations. (2) All governments, entities, and municipalities in the region should cooperate fully and unreservedly with the Tribunal, including (but not limited to) through-- (A) the immediate arrest, surrender, and transfer of all persons who have been indicted by the Tribunal but remain at large in the territory which they control; and (B) full and direct access to Tribunal investigators to requested documents, archives, witnesses, mass grave sites, and any officials where necessary for the investigation and prosecution of crimes under the Tribunal's jurisdiction. The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the order of the House today, the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. SMITH) and a Member opposed each will control 10 minutes. Mr. KOLBE. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, and I reserve a point of order against this amendment. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Arizona (Mr. KOLBE) reserves a point of order, and will be recognized on the amendment. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. SMITH) for 10 minutes. Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This amendment, Mr. Chairman, underscores our resolve to bring to justice those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
Sometimes some people wonder if it is really worth introducing this complex and complicating factor called justice into U.S. policy toward the region. Justice may be nice, they argue, but regional stability is what is really needed in the Balkans. Insisting on the prosecution of war crimes, they continue, certainly does not help in this regard, and if our European allies are not pushing this, why should we? Mr. Chairman, in response, I ask that my colleagues make sure that time has not faded the horrific images of the Yugoslav conflict, images of prisoners interred in camps like Omarska, the mass graves of Vukovar, Srebrenica, and in recent weeks those uncovered in Serbia itself. I would just say parenthetically on a trip the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. WOLF) and I made in the early months of the war against Croatia, we went to Osijek and Vukovar. We were there when it was surrounded by Serbian military snipers. There were MiGs flying overhead. We met with people inside of wine cellars who would not come out because every day snipers were just picking off innocent civilians, killing these people as they walked down the street, as they leveled one block after another.
The people who were in Vukovar Hospital, soon after we left, just months after we left when that city under siege was overtaken, were literally taken out and killed in a terrible, a horrible way, just shot and put into a mass grave. So I would respectfully submit that we must remember those frightened, innocent peasants who we all saw the images of day in and day out on CNN fleeing over mountain passes with whatever they could carry. There were stories of snipers in Vukovar, in Sarajevo, in Mostar, in other cities, shooting anybody that crossed the street; or the militants lobbing shells at schools or kids who wrongfully hoped it would be safe enough to do a little sleigh riding in their hilly neighborhoods. It is virtually impossible for us, I would submit, to comprehend what it is like for these people who did nothing wrong, who posed no threat to anyone, to have encountered such hostility and such hatred. We must never forget nor should we ever stop seeking justice for those who fled, for those who were tortured, for those who were raped repeatedly. We had hearings, Mr. Chairman. The gentleman might recall in the Helsinki Commissions we brought in rape victims who, as a matter of state policy, the Serbian government and the Bosnian Serbs were trying to make an example of these women to break the back of those people in Serbia, in Bosnia. It was horrible to see the blank faces and the vacant look in their eyes, the look of pain, as they came forward to tell of their stories. We must put ourselves in their shoes as we consider this amendment. We must stand there on the edge of that ditch and try to ponder the notion that these drunken people had their rifles pointed at their backs, and those sons and daughters and fathers and everyone else were killed. There needs to be an accounting. We must remember that these culprits of these horrific crimes are today living their lives at large, mostly in the Republic of Srpska, and in Serbia as well. As a matter of fact, a history of ancient hatreds is really a myth. They like to throw that out, that somehow this was just all of these animosities, generation after generation. Nothing was inevitable. This did not have to happen. Those responsible for this carnage need to be held to account, people like Karadzic, Mladic, and some 30 others who have already been indicted by the tribunal who are walking the streets free today. They need to be held to account. Mr. Chairman, I offer this amendment. I know the chairman may raise a point of order. It does express our collective concerns as Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in favor of going forward and being as aggressive and attentive as we can be. As I said at the outset, time should not fade these memories. As we learned from the Holocaust and the atrocities of Nazis, we hunt down until we bring to justice those who have committed these horrible acts. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word. As the gentleman knows, we worked together to craft appropriate language regarding aid to Yugoslavia and its cooperation with the War Crimes Tribunal. The bill carries similar language to the fiscal year 2001 bill. It allows assistance to Serbia until March 30, 2002, at which time the Secretary of State must certify that Serbia is cooperating with the Tribunal, taking steps consistent with the Dayton Accords to limit financial cooperation with the Republic of Srpska, and is respecting minority rights. The bill also carries separate language requiring that all countries cooperate with the international criminal tribunal or face penalties. We arrived at this language through negotiations with the chairman, and it enjoys the support of most members of the committee. I understand and agree with the concerns addressed in the gentleman's amendment, and I am happy that the language included reflects many of those concerns. I am pleased to note that soon after our subcommittee marked up this bill former President Milosevic was turned over to the Tribunal. Despite this historic event, I strongly support retaining this language. It recognizes the simple fact that many war criminals remain at large and that our assistance should continue to be conditioned to a great degree on continued cooperation with the Tribunal. I thank the gentleman for his leadership on this issue.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. KOLBE. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve a point of order on this amendment, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, let me just say about this issue, I understand the concerns that people have, and it is one that I share. We want to make sure that war criminals are brought to justice. We want to make sure that we move in Serbia to help develop democracy in that region. These are not mutually exclusive, by any means. But sometimes the orbits may come into conflict. We have two provisions in our bill relating to war criminals. Section 582 is a variation of last year's provision affecting Serbia. Section 578 is a streamlined replacement for the so-called Lautenburg amendment that applies to all countries in the Balkans.
That language, and I was just reading it the other day, it is pages and pages and pages in the bill that was so complicated it was just routinely waived. The committee recommendation this year I think is much more straightforward. Regarding Serbia, last year's language prohibited most assistance to Serbia after March 31 of 2001 unless the President can certify, among other things, that Yugoslavia was cooperating with the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. Such a certification was made last year. We have received requests to continue and even to strengthen the language this year. Our recommendation continues the language largely unchanged from last year. I am not enthusiastic about doing that. We need to help the people of Serbia and the reformers in that country and the long struggle they have been facing to reform their society. Punishing them for not fulfilling every aspect of The Hague Tribunal's directives may not, and I think is not, positive in the long run. We want to help the democratic governments in the Balkans. We are not trying to hurt them. We are not trying to stunt their democratic growth. The Hague Tribunal is part of an effort to promote democratic governments. We cannot sacrifice the future of democratic governments to the procedural niceties, however, of the tribunal. They need to work together. They need to go hand in hand. The tribunal needs to do its stuff, but the countries are not always going to find it possible to comply with every single thing that the tribunal might ask them. But I think it is worth noting, as every Member of this body is well aware, that President Milosevic, the key war criminal we were insisting that Serbia send to the tribunal, has been sent to The Hague. That has caused an enormous political difficulty for the government in Serbia. Let us not underestimate the great difficulties the Serbian Government, both at the provincial level as well as at the national, the federation level, has had in dealing with this problem. We also recognize that Croatia needs to send additional war criminals to The Hague. By bowing to international pressures, particularly pressure from the United States, the new democratic governments in the regions are facing tremendous risks, as we have been seeing with the political upheaval that has followed the transfer of President Milosevic to The Hague. So in our strong desire to have full compliance with the tribunal, I hope we do not end up hurting the very governments that we are trying to help. So for that reason, I think this is bad legislation, a bad approach to the problem. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my time and also the point of order. Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes, just to respond briefly. And I know a point of order is lodged against this, or will be shortly, but the language really does focus on all governments, entities, and municipalities in the region. And, frankly, when we have a sense of impunity, and I know Kostunica and others are trying to do their part to try to rein in. While I was in Paris, at the OSCE parliamentary assembly, we had a very, very meaningful, as did other members of our delegation, meeting with the speaker of the parliament in Serbia. And I believe they really are serious about trying to rein in on the impunity that unfortunately was the modus operandi of Serbia for so long and the Republic of Yugoslavia . This language tries to say we are on your side, we want to help rid, or at least get to justice, those people who have committed these terrible crimes, because they intimidate their own people. On day two of the bombing, one of the people who had come to our Helsinki Commission and had testified on behalf of free media, at a time when Milosevic had shut down S92, and other independent media, he was murdered right after the bombing began. He was shot dead gangland-style by the thugs of Slobodon Milosevic. Some of those same people are still walking the streets. Otpor has come out, and they are naming names of police who have committed atrocities, putting themselves at considerable risk. So it seems to me that the more we encourage those democratic forces, and this is sense of the Congress language granted, the quicker they will get to a free and hopefully a robust democracy. Let me just finally say, and I say to this my good friend the chairman, our hope is that we look very seriously at a police academy for the Republic of Yugoslavia . We met with General Ralston, our delegation, on our trip, and he made it very clear that the Kosovo Academy, which has now graduated some 4,000 police, really is the model for the region. It is the way we ought to be going. If we want to exit and pull out NATO troops, U.S. troops, we need to have on the ground the kind of stability and transparency that a properly trained police academy with an emphasis on human rights can bring. And it seems to me that Bosnia and the Republic of Srpska and, of course, the Republic of Yugoslavia could benefit greatly from it. So I ask the amendment be supported by my colleagues.

Reviews Religious Freedom in the Caucasus
HELSINKI COMMISSION BRIEFINGREVIEWS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN THE CAUCASUS
Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia examined by expert panel
(Washington) – The United States Helsinki Commission will hold a briefing on the current state of religious freedom in the Caucasus due to recent events in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.
Religious Freedom in the Caucasus
Eric Rassbach, Counsel, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, represents Azerbaijani Imam Ilgar Ibrahimoglu and the Juma Mosque Community before the European Court of Human Rights
Andre Carbonneau, Attorney, Jehovah’s Witnesses, represents Armenian and Georgian Jehovah’s Witnesses before the European Court of Human Rights
Dr. Paul Crego, Senior Cataloging Specialist, Library of Congress, is responsible for materials in Georgian and Armenian and recently traveled to Georgia
On June 30, Azerbaijani authorities forcibly seized the independent Juma Mosque, with police reportedly expelling worshipers before taking control of the place of worship. The authorities imposed a new imam appointed by the Muslim Board of the Caucasus, a Soviet-era Muftiate backed by the government, to replace the community’s leader, Imam Ilgar Ibrahimoglu. Other unregistered religious communities, such as Adventists and Baptists, have also experienced repeated harassment from authorities.
Armenian policy toward religious freedom also conflicts with the government’s commitments to respect human rights. Government registration restrictions make it more difficult for religious groups to rent property, publish newspapers or magazines, or officially sponsor visas of visitors. The approval system has proven extremely problematic, as on June 17 when the government again refused to recognize the Jehovah’s Witnesses as an official religion because of their proselytizing activities. Other small religious groups, including Hare Krishnas and many Baptist communities, are frequently unable to attain the minimum number of members required by the government and are barred from applying for registration. Armenia has currently imprisoned 20 Jehovah’s Witnesses for their conscientious refusal of military service – a principle of their religious beliefs.
The situation for religious freedom in Georgia improved substantially with the long overdue arrest on March 12 of renegade Orthodox priest and mob leader, Basili Mkalavishvili, who instigated violent assaults against religious minorities. But, Georgian authorities need to investigate and prosecute others known to have perpetrated similar criminal acts. Legal problems also persist, as some minority religious communities are unable to obtain legal entity status or to build new worship facilities. In addition, a concordat with the state granted the Georgian Orthodox Church special privileges to the detriment of other confessions.
An un-official transcript will be available on the Helsinki Commission’s Internet web site at http://www.csce.gov within 24 hours of the briefing.

WASHINGON -- At a hearing today of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission), Co-Chairmen Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) and Representative Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) called for clarity in a coordinated United States and European Union policy toward the countries of the Western Balkans. Photos from the hearing are available here.
The countries covered included Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
Co-Chairman Hastings argued that renewed conflict in the region must be made inconceivable; the countries concerned must see their future in Europe and organized crimes and official corruption must be tackled. Hastings also told the witness, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Tom Countryman, that active U.S. engagement should not merely legitimize the European Union’s approach to the Balkans but also “make the EU approach more substantive and more constructive in the process.” Chairman Cardin called for clarity in U.S. and EU policies, arguing that “these countries need a concrete sense of direction” and that “ambiguities are obviously used by politicians in the Western Balkans to their own advantage.” Countryman concurred with the Co-Chairmen’s remarks. “As Secretary Clinton made clear during her visit in October,” he noted, “the United States is unfaltering in its commitment to the Western Balkans. We were there during the most difficult periods of time, and we remain committed today to helping each of these seven countries realize their own aspirations for stability, prosperity, and membership in Euro-Atlantic institutions.”
Also present at the hearing were Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), a member of the Helsinki Commission, and Senator George Voinovich (R-OH), Representative Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) and Representative Russ Carnahan (D-MO), all of whom have been actively involved in policy responses to Balkan developments over the years.
Presenting the State Departments assessment of region, Tom Countryman noted “several encouraging signs,” including “a structure of political development that will enable movement along a self-sustaining path toward membership in Euro-Atlantic institutions” and a “heartening trend in the development of a political center that is no longer dominated by the nationalistic issues of the 1990s.” He noted that challenges still exist, most notably related to dedication to the rule-of-law.
In his country-by-country assessment, Countryman expressed most immediate concern about the possibility of election-related violence this weekend in Kosovo, where Serbian officials have made statements that seemed to threaten violence against polling stations in the north of Kosovo and have not been sufficiently and clearly repudiated by the government in Belgrade. “Sadly,” he concluded, “it appears that it is only Serbs who are using violence to prevent other Serbs from voting” despite efforts by the international community and the Kosovo Government to facilitate the free participation of all Kosovo Serbs in the elections. Rep. Hastings indicated his strong support for action to thwart violence.

Testimony :: Paul A. ShapiroDirector, Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies - United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice-Chairman, Distinguished Members of the Commission:
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe continues to focus the world’s attention on manifestations of anti-Semitism, anti-Romani prejudice, and other threats to democracy as they appear in Europe and elsewhere. On behalf of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, I would like to thank you for organizing this important hearing regarding democracy and memory in Hungary.
Over a hundred years ago, the Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana wrote that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (The Life of Reason, Vol. 1, 1905). In mid-1944, the Jewish community of Hungary—the last major Jewish community in Europe that was still largely intact—was assaulted and nearly destroyed in its entirety over the course of a few months in mid- and late-1944. Today, the memory of that tragedy is under serious challenge in Hungary, with consequences that we cannot yet fully predict, but which are ominous.
The Holocaust in Hungary
Before addressing what appears to be a coordinated assault on memory of the Holocaust, or at least a concerted attempt to rewrite Holocaust history, permit me to briefly review the history. According to Professor Randolph Braham’s authoritative 2-volume The Politics of Genocide: The Holocaust in Hungary, the Jewish population of Hungary at the start of World War II totaled just over 825,000 souls. Many of these Jews lived in territories that Hungary had recently occupied or re-acquired from neighboring countries as Hungary’s Regent and Head of State, Admiral Miklos Horthy, participated as an ally of Adolf Hitler in the destabilization of Europe and the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia (in 1938 and 1939), then Romania (in 1940), then Yugoslavia (in 1941). Hungary withdrew from the League of Nations and joined Nazi Germany in its military invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. Unlike Italy, which withdrew from its German alliance in 1943, and unlike Romania, which did the same in 1944, Hungary remained allied with Nazi Germany to the end, until the country was overrun by Soviet military forces advancing on Germany from the east. As a result of these government policies, the Hungarian military suffered some 300,000 casualties during the war.
Of the country’s 825,000 Jews, nearly 75 percent were murdered. Antisemitism in Hungary did not arrive from abroad. Miklos Horthy’s Hungary was the first European country after World War I to put in place numerus clausus legislation, which restricted Jewish participation in higher education (1920). Racial laws similar to those of Nazi Germany, which defined Jews based on religion and “race,” and deprived them of the right to practice their professions, to own land, and which forbade intermarriage, were passed in 1938 and 1939. With war came the systematic theft of Jewish property and mass murder. In 1941, 20,000 “foreign Jews,” who were residents of Hungary but not Hungarian citizens, were deported across the border by Admiral Horthy’s government to Kamenetz-Podolsky in Ukraine, where they were executed by waiting German forces. Hungarian troops executed another 1,000-plus Jews during their invasion of northeast Yugoslavia that same year. Over 40,000 of the Jewish men conscripted into Jewish forced labor battalions and taken to the eastern front, armed only with shovels to dig defenses for the Hungarian military, died there of exposure, killed in battle areas, or massively executed by the Hungarians as they retreated following their defeat at the battle of Stalingrad in early 1943. Then, between April and July 1944, over 400,000 Hungarian Jews were driven from their homes, concentrated in ghettos, and deported to Auschwitz, where the overwhelming majority of them were gassed on arrival. It was the Hungarian gendarmerie and police who identified and concentrated the Jews, loaded them onto trains, and delivered them into the hands of German SS units waiting at the German-Hungarian border. This process continued systematically until only the Jews of Budapest remained alive.
Admiral Horthy, whose governments had done all of this, hesitated to use the same tactics against the Jews in Budapest that he had sanctioned in the rest of the country. After Horthy was ousted following the invasion of Hungary by German forces in mid-October, in the wake of a last-minute attempt to extricate Hungary from its alliance with Hitler (Soviet troops were already advancing across the country’s borders), the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross Party (Nyilas) government that took over had no such hesitation. The weeks that followed saw a combination of forced ghettoization in Budapest; death marches involving men, women and children, whose slightest misstep was rewarded with a bullwhip or a bullet; and renewed deportations to Auschwitz. Nyilas gangs engaged in wild shooting orgies in Budapest. They massacred the patients, doctors and nurses at the Maros Street Jewish Hostpital, to give just one example, and considered it sport to shoot Jews seized at random into the Danube from the riverbank. Three months of Nyilas government cost the lives of an additional 85,000 Hungarian Jews.
Hungarian collaboration and complicity in the Holocaust was thus substantial, as were the losses suffered by this once-large and great Jewish community. Statistics can speak volumes. Nearly one in ten of the approximately six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust was a Hungarian Jew. One of every three Jews murdered at Auschwitz was a Hungarian Jew. And while every country in which the Holocaust took place would like to place ultimate responsibility on someone else, we must be clear. These Jewish men, women, and children—from grandparents to grandchildren and great-grandchildren—were murdered either directly by, or as a result of collaboration by, Hungarian government authorities, from the Regent, Miklos Horthy, and the “Leader of the Nation” (Nemzetvezeto) Ferenc Szalasi who succeeded him, at the highest level, to the civil authorities, gendarmerie, and police, as well as military forces and Arrow Cross thugs, who represented the government from the capital to the smallest Hungarian village and town where Jews lived. Some 28,000 Romani citizens of Hungary were also deported and fell victim to this horrific carnage.
The Early Post-Communist Period How has the history of the Holocaust been treated in Hungary since the fall of communism? A decade ago, I would have said quite decently. During Viktor Orban’s first term as Prime Minister (1998-2002), the coalition government that he led established a national Holocaust Commemoration Day and brought Hungary into the International Task Force for Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research (since renamed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance or IHRA). The government also appointed a commission to create a Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center (HDKE) in Budapest. In 2004 I attended the dedication at the HDKE of what was rightly recognized one of the best exhibitions on the Holocaust in continental Europe.
The Socialist Party governments from 2002 to 2010 remained on this positive path. But during these years, the situation in Hungary began to change dramatically. In late 2008, at a European regional conference on anti-Semitism held in Bucharest, Romania, I expressed concern about the public display in Hungary of symbols associated with the wartime fascist Arrow Cross Party, increasing incidents of anti-Semitic intimidation and violence, and anti-Romani discourse that was increasingly Nazi-like in tone. A party of the extreme right called Jobbik (abbreviation for “Movement for a Better Hungary”) made its appearance in 2003. Its leader also created a so-called Magyar Garda, or “Hungarian Guard” force, formations of which paraded through Budapest and towns elsewhere in the country, dressed in uniforms reminiscent of Arrow Cross uniforms, brandishing fascist symbols and slogans and intimidating the remnant of the country’s Jewish community that had survived the Holocaust and remained in Hungary. An especially noteworthy indication of change was the failure of the then out-of-power, but still powerful Fidesz party to join with other major political parties in forceful condemnation of Jobbik’s anti-Semitic and anti-Romani sloganeering and Magyar Garda intimidation of Jews and violence against Roma.
In the 2010 elections, Fidesz received 52 percent of the vote and returned to government with an empowering two-thirds majority in the Hungarian Parliament. Jobbik, however, which was already being described in European political and media circles as “fascist,” “neo-fascist,” neo-Nazi,” “racist,” ‘anti-Semitic,” “anti-Roma,” and “homophobic,” had obtained nearly 17 percent of the vote. In this circumstance, regrettably, the warning signs apparent in 2008 regarding Fidesz proved to be accurate. Still led by Prime Minister Orban, he and his party changed their approach to issues of the Holocaust. In the judgment of some people, this was the result of a desire to appeal to Jobbik voters and thus secure better prospects for future electoral victory than the just experienced 52 percent performance. Others were less inclined to see the change as mere political maneuver, and more inclined to see it as reflecting the internal prejudices and beliefs of Fidesz itself.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum praised publicly some actions of the first Fidesz government. But attempts over the past three years to trivialize or distort the history of the Holocaust, actions that have given rein to open manifestations of anti-Semitism in the country, and efforts to rehabilitate political and cultural figures that played a part in Hungary’s tragic Holocaust history, now require us to be publicly critical. In June of last year, the Museum issued a press release expressing grave concern about the rehabilitation of fascist ideologues and political leaders from World War II that is taking place in Hungary and called on the government of Hungary to “unequivocally renounce all forms of antisemitism and racism and to reject every effort to honor individuals responsible for the genocide of Europe’s Jews.” Our Founding Chairman, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, repudiated a high decoration that had been conferred on him by Hungary, to protest these same trends.
What are the causes of our concern? They begin with the broad political trends that the Commission is examining today. For anyone who is familiar with the history of Nazi Germany and the other fascist and authoritarian regimes that appeared in Europe in the middle of the 20th century—and especially for Holocaust survivors who experienced the full fury of those times and those regimes—what is happening in Hungary today will sound eerily familiar and ominous.
The Hungarian government has enacted laws to place restrictions on the media. Just recall the Nazis’ manipulation of the media if you need a reminder of the danger to democracy that this represents and where it can lead. Think of all you know about Joseph Goebbels and the images that you can conjure up of Nazi propaganda. Control the media, and this is where you can end up.
The Hungarian government has taken steps to politicize and undermine the independence of the judiciary, and now through amendment of the constitution, to undermine the ability of the judiciary to review government-generated laws and decrees. Recall, please, the undermining of the practice and administration of law, the racist Nuremberg Laws of 1935, and the subversion of the judiciary in Nazi Germany and elsewhere in Nazi-dominated Europe. Ultimately, lawlessness on the part of the government and mass murder were the results.
Hungary’s law on religion has stripped many religious groups of their officially recognized status as “registered” religions, in effect depriving them of equal rights and making the legitimacy of religious faith an object of political whim. For Jews and Jehovah’s Witnesses, Polish Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Baptists, Old Believers and others, the echo of the Holocaust era could not be more powerful. Delegitimizing one’s faith delegitimizes the person.
Racial violence, including outright murder, against the Romani minority in Hungary, while not perpetrated by the government, has not been effectively addressed by the government either. When Szolt Bayer, a founding member of Fidesz, whose brutal anti-Semitic rhetoric has long been recognized and commented upon in European and Israeli media, wrote an editorial in the newspaper Magyar Hirlap (Jan. 5, 2013) in which he called “Gypsies” “cowardly, repulsive, noxious animals,” that are “unfit to live among people,” are “animals and behave like animals,” and incited action by calling for dealing with them “immediately, and by any means necessary,” it was not possible to miss the echo of the despicable propaganda campaigns of dehumanization that preceded the mass murder of the Jews of Europe, Hungarian Jews included. Hungary’s Justice Minister made a statement critical of Bayer, but no legal action by the government followed. Here was what we Americans would call a classic “wink and a nod” approach by the government. Nor was the author of this vile incitement to violence expelled from Fidesz. The party’s spokesperson also finessed the issue in a manner that has become all too common: Szolt Bayer wrote the article as a journalist, not as a Fidesz party member, was the line taken. The Prime Minister and leader of Fidesz remained silent, giving a clear sign that the views that had been expressed by Bayer were not unacceptable. If there is one thing that the Holocaust teaches above all others, it is that silence empowers the perpetrator, empowers the hater; and when it is the head of government that is silent, silence messages assent and license to proceed.
This pattern has unfortunately become the norm, perhaps giving answer to the question of whether it is maneuver or conviction that is determining the actions of the Hungarian government and Fidesz vis-a-vis the Holocaust.
Assault on Memory of the Holocaust Is the history of the Holocaust secure in Hungary today? Thus far, the government’s actions raise serious doubt.
The Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center (HDKE): Shortly after Fidesz returned to power, the government appointed new leadership at the Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center. Then, a series of proposals to change the permanent exhibition at the Center were made by Dr. Andras Levente Gal, the new Fidesz-appointed Hungarian State Secretary in the Ministry of Public Administration and Justice, which had governmental oversight of the Center. Gal’s first proposal was to eliminate mention of Miklos Horthy’s alliance with Adolf Hitler and participation in the dismemberment of three neighboring states—Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia—as “irrelevant” to the Holocaust. Yet, violation of the post-World War I national boundaries brought war in Europe, and war provided opportunity and cover for the mass murder of the Jews. Moreover, it was precisely the Jews of the regions that Hitler restored to Hungary who were the first targets of the Hungarian gendarmerie and police as they drove to create a country “cleansed of Jews.” Gal’s second proposal was to sanitize the record of Hungarian participation in the ghettoization and deportation of the country’s Jews and placed full blame for the destruction of Hungarian Jewry on Germany. Word of the proposed changes leaked out, and there was strong international reaction. Thus far the exhibition remains intact. But much of the staff of the HDKE was fired, and budget allocations to the Center as late as last December left the staff that remained fearful that they, too, would be released. Meanwhile, visitation to the Center has declined, and the lack of mandated Holocaust education in the school system has left the institution severely underutilized.
Eventually, Andras Levente Gal left his position, and government officials noted that he was gone if the issue of changing the permanent exhibition at the HDKE was raised. But Gal remains an insider, and at no point did the government, or Fidesz party spokespeople, or the Prime Minister publicly criticize or issue a rebuke of Mr. Gal’s attempt to distort and sanitize Holocaust history. This left the impression publicly that what Mr. Gal had tried to do was fine in the eyes of the government and Fidesz, probably even inspired from above. Gal simply had not succeeded in getting the job done.
The Nyiro Affair: A similar situation developed in the aftermath of the so-called Nyiro affair. Last spring, Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly (Parliament) Laszlo Kover, who is a founding member of Fidesz, together with Hungarian State Secretary for Culture Geza Szocs, and Gabor Vona, the leader of Jobbik, united to honor posthumously Jozsef Nyiro (1889-1953), a Transylvanian-born writer and fascist ideologue, and member of Hungary’s wartime parliament from 1941 to 1945. Nyiro served as Vice-chair of the Education Commission in the Arrow Cross regime of Ferenc Szalasi. He was a member of the pro-Nazi National Association of Legislators, and was one of a group of legislators in the so-called “Arrow Cross Parliament” that left Budapest and fled the country together with Szalasi in the final days of the war. Nyiro had been a popular writer of short stories and novels in the 1930s and 1940s, but he also characterized Joseph Goebbels as someone who “exudes intellect and genius.” In parliament, Nyiro labeled the “discredited liberal Jewish heritage” the enemy of Hungary and, dispensing race hatred in all directions, called Hungarian marriages with non—ethnic-Hungarians “mutt marriages” and “mule marriages.” Nyiro was editor-in-chief of the newspaper Magyar Ero (“Hungarian Power”), whose editorials proclaimed that “Getting rid of the Jews is not a mere sign of the times, nor the agenda of a political party, but a unified and pressing demand of all nations that have recognized the Jewish threat and come to the conclusion that life without Jews is much better, much happier” (Magyar Ero, Nov.6, 1942).
Nyiro passed away in Franco’s Spain. The plan developed by Kovler, Szocs and Vona was to rebury Nyiro’s ashes in Transylvania, while attempting to whip up nationalistic sentiment among the ethnic Hungarian minority there through an elaborate official funerary procession that would wend its way by train from the Hungarian border to Nyiro’s birthplace, Odorheiu Secuiesc (Szekelyudvarhely), some 200 miles inside Romania and close to the easternmost demarcation line of the Romanian territory awarded to Hungary by Nazi Germany in 1940. In the end, the Romanian government protested, there was no train, but the Hungarian officials I have mentioned still participated in an “unofficial” burial ceremony, following which Kover, accompanied by Szolt Bayer, stayed on in Romania for the purpose of visiting with the ethnic Hungarian (and Szekler) communities in Transylvania. Diplomatically, the incident was not quite the equivalent of Admiral Horthy astride his white horse leading the Hungarian army into the regions of Transylvania given him by Adolf Hitler, as happened in 1940. But symbolically, this was the intent.
How did the Fidesz government deal with this incident? Speaker Kover personally was unrepentant. He labeled the Romanian Government’s action to prevent the reburial plan “uncivilized,” “paranoid,” and “hysterical,” and he called on the Hungarian ethnic minority in Transylvania to “press the books of Nyiro into the hands of their children” so that “a new generation of Nyiros” would be raised there. He responded to criticism by Elie Wiesel by claiming that he was honoring Nyiro the writer, not Nyiro the politician. Moreover, wrote Kover, Nyiro was neither a war criminal, nor a fascist, nor anti-Semitic, for if he had been, how could one explain the fact that the Allies did not put him on trial after the war or extradite him to Hungary in response to requests by the by-then Communist government of the country? Pushing back by laying blame on others in this manner has become a frequent tool in the Hungarian government’s responses to criticism of its actions. The Prime Minister, for example, responded to a letter from a Member of the US House of Representatives (Hon. Joseph Crowley, 14th Dist., NY) by laying blame for the rise of anti-Semitism in Hungary on a US-based web site (kuruc.info), the implication being that the Hungarian government could do nothing until the United States dealt with its First Amendment “problem.” Meanwhile, Laszlo Kover has remained Speaker of the Hungarian parliament, and recently proclaimed his eternal solidarity with Szolt Bayer (see above) at Bayer’s 50th birthday celebration. As in the case of Andras Levente Gal, neither Fidesz nor the Hungarian government, nor the Prime Minister himself, took any action to criticize publicly or disassociate themselves from what Kover and Szocs had attempted. Quite the contrary. The detailed “Communications Guidelines to Counter Accusations of Antisemitism” that was sent to Hungarian diplomats abroad following the Nyiro affair instructed the government’s representatives to stress that Speaker Kover participated in the memorial ceremony for Nyiro “in his private capacity,” not as Speaker of the National Assembly, and that Nyiro’s record should be appraised based on his literary merits, not his political activity. In other words, the government was comfortable seeking to gloss over Nyiro’s involvement in a regime that perpetrated the Holocaust. The government’s talking points failed to mention that the Hungarian Parliament had spent 6 million forints (over $25,000) on preparations for the reburial, or that Speaker Kover’s web site had announced his planned trip to Romania as an official visit. As for Szocs, after some delay he left office. His departure is noted by government representatives when inquiries are made, but there has been no government statement linking his departure to the Nyiro affair or indicating that he was fired.
Anti-Semites in the National Curriculum: Nyiro’s name and legacy became issues again in connection with a review and proposed revision of Hungary’s national public school curriculum that was initiated by the Fidesz government and is being carried out by the Ministry of National Resources. The government has proposed to include among the interwar authors whose works it is recommended teachers present to their students Jozsef Nyiro (novels), Albert Wass (children’s tales), and Deszo Szabo, among others. The guidelines in the National Curriculum provide no assistance to help teachers provide contextual information about these writers—including information about their political activities that might help teachers decide whether and how to teach about them. I have already discussed Nyiro. Let me introduce Deszo Szabo and Albert Wass, without attempting to evaluate the literary merits of their prose. Deszo Szabo wrote, “Jews are the most serious and the most deadly enemy of Hungarians. The Jewish question is a life and death question for Hungarians—a question that is linked to every aspect of Hungarian life and the Hungarian future” (“Antiszemitizmus,” Virradat [Dawn], Jan. 21, 1921); and two months later, after designating Judaism “a tribal superstition exalted as a religion,” concluded “In the interest of human progress, the barbarian, murderous memories of dark, primeval centuries [that is, the Jews—PAS] must be exterminated” (“1848 marcius 15,” Virradat, Mar. 16, 1921). Albert Wass, like Nyiro born in Transylvania, was convicted by the Romanian government of war crimes during his service in the Hungarian army, including complicity in the documented murder of two Jews and two Romanians in Hungarian-administered Transylvania during World War II. This did not prevent the incoming President of Hungary, Fidesz Deputy President Pal Schmitt from quoting Wass in his inaugural address in 2011.
In addition to the inclusion of problematic figures such as these, each of whom either fostered anti-Semitism or participated politically or militarily in regime-sponsored murder, the draft National Curriculum also stresses the country’s territorial losses after World War I as Hungary’s singular national tragedy, while suggesting equivalency with lesser significance between the Holocaust and Hungarian military losses on the Don River (Stalingrad) during World War II. Equating the loss of military forces to an enemy in battle with the systematic, racially inspired murder of civilian men, women and children who are citizens of one’s own country, solely because they are of different religion or ethnicity, of course makes no sense, unless motivated by prejudice and intended to reinforce prejudice.
Finally, while some information relating to Jewish history and the contributions of Jews to Hungarian intellectual, cultural, and economic life were included in the new National Curriculum approved at the end of 2012, the information fell short of the subject matter suggested by a consortium of Hungarian Jewish organizations. In a classic case of the government seeking to have it both ways, directing students’ attention to the likes of Nyiro, Szabo and Wass will likely undercut any positive effect of the new material reflecting positively on Jews, unless the latter is considerably expanded. Hungarian Jewish organizations have petitioned the government to remove these “anti-Semites” from the curriculum, but thus far the reply has been negative; indeed, it has been a more rigorous coordinated defense of the three “writers.”
The tactic of seeking to divert attention elsewhere to deflect criticism has been mobilized on the curriculum issue. Government spokespeople have responded to criticism from the United States, for example, by pointing out that Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and Ezra Pound are included in American high school curricula, despite their demonstrable anti-Semitism. At this point, downplaying the significance of anti-Semitism as a factor to be considered, undermining understanding of the contributions of Hungarian Jewry to Hungarian national life, while trivializing and relativizing the significance of the Holocaust have been codified as elements of the Hungarian educational system that the Fidesz government has designed.
Rehabilitation of Holocaust Perpetrators: Hand in hand with attempts to whitewash Hungarian collaboration and complicity during the Holocaust, hand in hand with efforts to justify Hungary’s alliance with Nazi Germany, has gone a growing effort to rehabilitate the murderers. See Nyilas operative Nyiro as a writer who deserves to be honored as a national icon, not as a fascist. See Albert Wass as a writer of children’s tales, not as a convicted war criminal. In this context, it is hardly surprising that we are witnessing the attempted rehabilitation of Admiral Horthy himself. Several towns have erected statues or placed plaques on buildings in his honor (e.g., in Kereki and Debrecen). Placing an equestrian statue of the Regent on Budapest’s Castle Hill has also been discussed. In other localities, streets, parks and public squares now bear his name (e.g., in Gyomro).
When asked to take action to halt the de facto rehabilitation of Hungary’s anti-Semitic interwar and wartime leader, during whose tenure as Regent a half million Hungarian Jews were killed, the Hungarian government responds evasively. The government is not seeking to rehabilitate Horthy, goes the standard line, but it is important to realize that Horthy is a “controversial” figure. Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi, responding to a joint letter addressed by the American Jewish Committee, B’Nai B’rith, and our Museum to Prime Minister Orban, adopted precisely this approach, stating, on the one hand, “that the Hungarian Government has no intention to rehabilitate Regent Horthy,” but qualifying the assurance with a reminder that “there is no consensus of opinion about his legacy” (Martonyi letter of July 18, 2012). Implicit in such a response is that the government’s approach could change if a consensus favorable to Horthy develops. Meanwhile, the government has taken advantage of the situation, and in the process added its weight to a more positive evaluation of Horthy, by playing to nationalist and populist sentiments, seeking to purge Horthy’s record as a Hitler ally, and glorifying the restoration of Hungary’s “lost territories” that Horthy was able to achieve, if only for a few years. The government has not taken serious steps to research and more rigorously evaluate Horthy’s record. It has certainly not placed equal emphasis on his record of anti-Semitism and complicity in the murder of the country’s Jews. Nor has it sought to defuse tensions with Hungary’s neighbors by tempering the country’s fixation on the so-called “lost territories”—territories that today are parts of Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Croatia, and Serbia. Indeed, rather than assuming the responsibility of government to clarify issues of historical and political significance, Fidesz and the Hungarian government have thrown up a smokescreen to further confuse the Horthy issue by allowing—perhaps encouraging—people who speak for or represent Fidesz and the Hungarian Government to suggest that the fact that Horthy was not put on trial by allied authorities after the war is sufficient to indicate that Horthy’s record was clean (Author’s conversation with Tamas Fellegi, December 3, 2012). This tactic of shifting “responsibility” for the problem abroad, as we saw with the Nyiro case and regarding the kuruc.info web site, has become routine. But it hardly suffices to cleanse the reputation of Miklos Horthy, who could write with pride to his Prime Minister in 1940, “I have been an anti-Semite my whole life,” and to Adolf Hitler in May 1943, “The measures that I have imposed have, in practice, deprived the Jews of any opportunity to practice their damaging influence on public life in this country” (Miklos Sinai and Laszlo Szucs, Horthy Miklós titkos iratai [Miklos Horthy’s Secret Correspondence], Budapest, 1965, pp. 262 and 392). Given his lifelong record of anti-Semitism and his complicity in the murder of the Jews of Hungary, the attempt to rehabilitate Miklos Horthy, or to condone his elevation even to the status of someone whose reputation is “controversial,” might reasonably be considered a manifestation of anti-Semitism. The government has labeled the statues, streets and other Horthy monuments that have appeared around the country local initiatives which the national government has no way to prevent. The fact that the Fidesz government has an overwhelming parliamentary majority, has promulgated a new national constitution, and has recently passed dramatic new constitutional amendments that limit the power of the Constitutional Court to review the content of legislation, obviates the credibility of such assertions.
In short, the history of the Holocaust is under assault in Hungary and the rehabilitation of some of the people responsible for the murder of 600,000 of the country’s Jews during the Holocaust is well under way. An atmosphere has been created in which it is understood that anti-Semitic and anti-Romani discourse, and even intimidation and violence, will not elicit effective government action to alter the situation. The government and people perceived to be closely tied to it may, in some cases, issue after-the-fact statements condemning anti-Semitic or anti-Romani discourse and deed. But they are just as likely not to do so, thus messaging clearly that such expression and activity is, in fact, acceptable. The participation of Fidesz members and government officials in activities that further inflame the toxic atmosphere is clear. Such behavior requires swift and public censure, including disavowal and censure by the Prime Minister himself. But this has not happened. Government spokespeople assert that the problem is Jobbik, but neither they nor the Prime Minister have thus far forcefully and publicly condemned Jobbik as outside the boundaries of what is acceptable in a democratic society.
Nor have the leaders of Fidesz distanced their party unequivocally from Jobbik. When a party member or spokesperson makes a stronger statement of condemnation of Jobbik, or takes a clearly critical position vis-à-vis a manifestation of anti-Semitism or trivialization or obfuscation of the Holocaust, the statement is very frequently qualified, almost immediately, as a personal opinion, not a governmental or party opinion. Thus, when Antal Rogan, leader of the Fidesz faction in parliament, spoke out against Jobbik at a public demonstration in front of the parliament building on December 2, following an inflammatory speech by Jobbik MP and Vice Chairman of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee Marton Gyongyosi, who proposed that lists of Jews be kept because Jews represented a national security risk, Fidesz representatives pointed out the following day that Rogan had been speaking in his personal capacity, not on behalf of the party. A similar occurrence took place in Washington on February 27, 2013, when Tamas Fellegi, a confidant of Prime Minister Orban, testified in these august halls before a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, at a hearing on “Antisemitism: A Growing Threat to All Faiths.” Mr. Fellegi took up defense of the Hungarian government by stating that while Jobbik is “an openly anti-Semitic party,” “[t]here is a clear line of demarcation between Jobbik, and the center-right government and all other mainstream parties.” He delivered a lengthy and forceful defense of the Prime Minister’s party and performance in the first and second Orban administrations. But when, perhaps to impress his independence of opinion on his listeners, he allowed that the “infamous commentaries of [Fidesz member] Szolt Bayer” could be “deemed as racist,” and stated opposition to the “rehabilitation of the historic period of Admiral Horthy,” he immediately made it clear that these were only his personal views. A Way Forward?
The issue that must be addressed, given the record I have described, is how to find a way forward in combatting anti-Semitism and ensuring Holocaust remembrance and education in Hungary. Every criticism, explicit or implicit, in this testimony has been intended to identify a problem that can be solved, not to induce despair or the sense that the problems cannot be solved. It is important to remember that Hungarian society emerged from communist dictatorship less than 25 years ago. It is important to remember that Fidesz was, at its origin, a democratic movement in a totalitarian era. And it is important to recall that it was the current Prime Minister, Mr. Orban, who during his first administration established Hungary’s national Holocaust Commemoration Day and laid the foundation for establishment of the Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center in Budapest. Thus the potential for sensitivity to the dangers inherent in anti-Semitism and distortion or trivialization of the Holocaust exists. And yet, in today’s Hungary it was possible for a female member of parliament to be shouted down and ridiculed by MPs from both Jobbik and Fidesz, when she questioned the wisdom of rehabilitating Miklos Horthy and members of the Arrow Cross (Hungarian National Assembly, May 29, 2012). It was possible for Jobbik’s Marton Gyongyosi to suggest in the parliamentary chamber that Jews were a national security risk, and to experience no formal censure, only belated criticism by the government, followed by refusal of the state prosecutor to pursue legal sanctions that had been requested by the Jewish community (Hungarian National Assembly, November 27, 2012). It is possible for Magyar Garda units to continue to assemble and march, to intimidate Jews and Roma, despite a formal legal ban. It is possible for incremental rehabilitation to be under way for political figures who aligned the country with Adolf Hitler; participated in the disruption of peace in Europe and the murder of 600,000 Hungarian Jews and thousands of Romani; adopted policies that resulted in hundreds of thousands of Hungarian military casualties; and, ultimately, bore responsibility for policies that led to the occupation of the country by Soviet military forces and led to 45 years of communist dictatorship. It is even possible for the legacy of such people to be labeled “controversial” by Fidesz and Hungarian government spokespeople. In 2012, three major Holocaust-related monuments in Budapest—the Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center, the memorial statue honoring Raoul Wallenberg, and the iconic bronze shoes on the banks of the Danube which memorialize the 10,000 or more Jews shot into the river during the final months of the war—were vandalized. A 2012 survey by the Anti-Defamation League identified Hungary as the European country where anti-Semitic attitudes are most widespread.
Under circumstances such as these, we believe that it is the responsibility of the Prime Minister to lead and the government to take remedial action, not to equivocate, excuse, deflect, seek to divert attention elsewhere, or lobby. The Hungarian government, by virtue of its overwhelming parliamentary majority, is able to act, and for precisely this reason bears responsibility for what is or is not done vis-à-vis manifestations of anti-Semitism and Holocaust issues.
To be fair, the government has taken some steps of potential significance in the right direction in recent months. In November, Parliament passed a ban on the naming of public institutions or spaces after individuals who played a role in establishing or sustaining “totalitarian political regimes” in the 20th century. In December, the Government provided supplemental funding to the Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center to permit the Center to keep its doors open and pay its staff through the remainder of the current fiscal year. A week after the incident and in the wake of a major public demonstration on December 2 to protest Jobbik MP Gyongyosi’s suggestion that name lists of the country’s Jews be created, Prime Minister Orban finally criticized Gyongyosi’s remarks as “unworthy of Hungary.” Later in the month, the Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament was given authority to censure and potentially exclude from the chamber and fine MPs who used hate speech during parliamentary sessions. The government has also established a Hungarian Holocaust 2014 Memorial Committee, under auspices of the Prime Minister’s Office, to plan commemorative events for the 70th anniversary of the mass deportation and murder of Hungarian Jewry.
The actual impact of each of these steps, however, remains to be seen. It is unclear whether Hungary’s wartime governments, those under the authority of Miklos Horthy as well as the government headed by Ferenc Szalasi, will be considered to fall under the rubric of “totalitarian political regimes.” The Horthy statues and memorial plaques and spaces remain in place, even though the new law stipulates that existing memorials within the purview of the law were to have been removed by January 1, 2013. The Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center, while open, remains severely underutilized and unable to pursue much of the educational mission for which it was created. While he did criticize Gyongyosi’s speech, albeit belatedly, Prime Minister Orban has yet to clearly draw a line that definitively separates Fidesz from Jobbik. Nor has he publicly censured or repudiated members of Fidesz, such as Szolt Bayer, who engage in distasteful and incendiary racist and anti-Semitic discourse. It remains to be seen whether the Speaker’s new authority actually will be put to use to control anti-Semitic and anti-Romani discourse in parliament. The activities to be undertaken by the 2014 Memorial Committee remain to be defined. Whether or not they effectively reduce anti-Semitic manifestations in Hungary and clarify for the country’s population issues that today are deemed “controversial,” relating to Hungary’s wartime governments and the Holocaust, will be the only true measures of the significance of the current government’s action.
Moreover, the steps that the Government has taken, even if all implemented and effective, in our view will not suffice to address the full range of issues relating to anti-Semitism and the Holocaust that confront the country. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has engaged in broad-ranging consultations with organizations in the United States with which we regularly work, with members of Prime Minister Orban’s staff, with other members of the Hungarian Government, including Ambassador Gyorgy Szapary, who represents his government in Washington, and with NGO leaders, representatives of the Hungarian Jewish community, and representatives of mainstream opposition political parties in Hungary. Based on these consultations and our own experience, in December we recommended the following to the Prime Minister’s Office:
a) Establish and appoint a state-sponsored International Commission of Scholars to prepare a definitive report on the history of the Holocaust in Hungary, including the history of anti-Semitism in the country, and to make recommendations to the Government regarding future Holocaust memorialization, education and research activities. The Museum has provided the Prime Minister’s Office with information regarding the establishment and organization of such commissions in other European countries. While the placement within the government of responsibility for organizational, administrative, and financial support for such a commission is clearly to be determined by the Hungarian government, following appointment of the Hungarian Holocaust 2014 Memorial Committee, under auspices of the Office of the Prime Minister, we have further suggested that the International Commission of Scholars be established under the same auspices. The two-year time frame established for the Memorial Committee would coincide very well in practical terms with the time needed for preparation of a thorough report by the International Commission of Scholars.
b) Enact legislation (or amend existing legislation) to prevent the creation of monuments to, naming of streets or other public sites in memory of, or otherwise honoring individuals (including but not limited to Regent Miklos Horthy) who played significant roles in the Holocaust-era wartime governments of Hungary. Clarify the inclusion of these governments in the November 2012 law regarding individuals involved in Hungary’s 20th century “totalitarian political regimes.”
c) Mandate in the Hungarian secondary school curriculum that every student in the country visit the Holocaust Memorial and Documentation Center in an organized class visit during his/her final four years of high school education. This would require the provision of subsidized transportation for students and teachers for day trips to and from Budapest; enhancement of staff and management at the Center; and the provision of additional space to the Center for student briefings and post-visit discussions (potentially a rented nearby apartment retrofitted as classroom/meeting room space). The initiative would finally and effectively capitalize on the investment that Hungary has already made in creating the Center.
d) Ensure that the Speaker of the Parliament consistently applies the recently established authority of the Speaker to censure, suspend, and fine MPs for expressions of racist and anti-Semitic views, or use of other forms of hate speech. In addition, we recommend that such censure be publicly announced, through official statements by the Office of the Speaker issued to the media.
e) Institute a policy of censure by the Office of the Prime Minister of ranking members of government ministries who participate, in either public or "private" capacity, in activities that are likely to reinforce racist, anti-Semitic or anti-Romani prejudices or that appear to rehabilitate the reputations of individuals who participated in the wartime governments of Hungary. Such censure should be publicly announced through official statements issued by the Office of the Prime Minister to the media.
f) Issue to the media an unequivocal statement by the Prime Minister clearly defining the racist and extremist views expressed by Jobbik as lying outside the boundaries of acceptable discourse in a democratic society and totally unacceptable within the Prime Minister’s own political party, Fidesz. Members of the Prime Minister’s party who express similar views should be publicly reprimanded.
Our Museum has confirmed to the Hungarian Government that we stand ready to be helpful. We have offered to host here in Washington one of the plenary meetings of the proposed International Commission of Scholars that would be required to enable members to complete the drafting, debate and discussion of a comprehensive Commission report. We believe that the actions we have suggested would help to reverse the dangerous downward cycle which appears to define events in Hungary today. In just a few weeks, Museum Director Bloomfield and I will be participating in the dedication of a new permanent exhibition at the Mauthausen Camp Memorial (KZ-Gedenkstatte Mauthausen) in Austria. Late in the war, thousands of Hungarian Jews who had been selected for labor in Auschwitz were “transferred” to Mauthausen. Many perished during death marches that stretched between the two camps. Most of those who reached Mauthausen perished there. In the shadow of that history, Director Bloomfield and I have offered to travel to Budapest following the Mauthausen dedication ceremony to meet with Prime Minister Orban and those to whom he has entrusted responsibility for dealing constructively with Holocaust issues and combatting manifestations of anti-Semitism. We are hopeful that we will receive a positive response.
In the meantime, the Museum has planned a number of scholarly activities for the coming year that will sustain focus on Hungary and secure the historical record regarding what happened there during the Holocaust. In April, we will publish, in partnership with Northwestern University Press, a three-volume encyclopedia, edited by Professor Randolph Braham of the City University of New York, that provides information—county by county, town by town, village by village—on the pre-Holocaust Jewish community of Hungary and the events of the Holocaust in each respective community. Professor Braham, who is a survivor of the notorious Hungarian Jewish labor battalions established by the Horthy regime, is the world’s leading expert on this history. Later during the year, we will publish a document collection on The Holocaust in Hungary as part of our archival studies series “Documenting Life and Destruction.” And in March of next year, on the 70th anniversary of the beginning of deportations of Hungarian Jewry to Auschwitz, we will host at the Museum a major international conference on the Holocaust in Hungary. When first proposing to the Hungarian government the establishment of an International Commission of Scholars on the Holocaust in Hungary, I had hoped that a plenary session of the Commission might coincide with and be coordinated with this conference. Timely action to establish a Commission might still allow for a degree of coordination.
Today’s hearing is focused on the trajectory of democracy and the danger of extremism—in the form of racism, anti-Semitism, and Holocaust trivialization—in Hungary. I have described trends that potentially undermine the safety of Jews, Roma, and other minorities in Hungary and that threaten the ability of Hungarians to come to grips with the truth regarding the Holocaust—a national tragedy of a different era. Democracy and memory: I want to stress that these two concerns are interrelated. Undermine democracy, and the rights of human beings deemed to be “different” are easily violated. The Hungary of World War II provided an extreme example. And misrepresenting the tragedies of one’s national past—trivializing them, relativizing them, or failing to clarify issues of fact when they become “controversial” or are distorted for political purpose—forces those in power to subvert democratic practice, to control the media, manipulate electoral mechanisms, and adopt increasingly extreme “populist” and jingoist stances, in the hope of staying in power permanently—an outcome that is only available in dictatorships, never in democracies.
I know that lobbyists are not seen in every instance in a favorable light. But I appear today on behalf of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as a lobbyist for the truth, a lobbyist for 600,000 Hungarian Jews and thousands of Hungarian Romani who cannot be here. Their lives were snuffed out due to the decisions, prejudices and failures of their country’s leadership—Miklos Horthy, Ferenc Szalasi, and numerous other political and military leaders, fascist “writers” like Nyiro, Szabo, and Wass—and those who collaborated or were directly complicit in acts of theft, deportation and murder.
Will Hungary become a source of instability in Europe, this time in the heart of the European Union, as it was in the late 1930s? Will ethnic and religious minorities, including a Jewish community of 80-100,000 souls remain free of harassment and safe there? Will this country, which was once home to a Jewish population that numbered over 800,000, trivialize memory of the Holocaust and lead a revival of anti-Semitic sentiment in Europe? Are contemporary developments appropriate for a state that is a member of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), a member of the European Union, and a member of NATO?
I will restrict my response to my assigned topic and expertise—the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. Some weeks ago, Hungary volunteered to assume the chair of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2015. Given the current situation, which I have endeavored to describe, this would be inappropriate and an insult to the living and desecration of the memory of the dead. Ultimately, of course, the decision will be taken by the state members of the IHRA, in all likelihood based on more practical and political considerations. But I would hope that before any decision is taken, including by our own representatives at the IHRA, the Hungarian Government will alter the approaches that it has taken in addressing anti-Semitism and Holocaust issues in Hungary, adopt the suggestions our Museum has made, and guide Hungary—a country with much to be proud of in its history—onto a path that is admired and praised rather than scorned and criticized. Representatives of Fidesz and the Hungarian Government with whom I have spoken frequently complain that their missteps are always criticized, while their positive actions are never commended. I for one, and the institution I represent here, commit to praise when positive steps are taken.
I began these remarks by citing philosopher George Santayana. I would like to conclude by quoting our Museum’s Founding Chairman and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, who was sent to the ghetto by Hungarian gendarmes and deported with his family to Auschwitz while Miklos Horthy served as Regent of Hungary. “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice,” wrote Wiesel, “but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” I hope that my testimony today is sufficient protest to stimulate action. On another occasion, Elie Wiesel declared, “If anything can, it is memory that will save humanity.” Securing the memory of the Holocaust in Hungary is essential.

ORHAN PAMUK RECEIVES GERMAN PEACE PRIZE By Hans-Joachim Schweigger FRANKFURT, 1 NOVEMBER 2005�Turkish author Orhan Pamuk received the prestigious Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels (Peace Prize of the German Book Trade) at a Frankfurt ceremony last weekend for works that explore life in a changing Turkey. Pamuk, whose latest novel Snow was named 2004�s best book by The New York Times, accepted the award on Sunday at Frankfurt�s St. Paul�s Cathedral in an event marking the end of the Frankfurt Book Fair. He took the opportunity to draw attention to his support for Turkey�s decades-long effort to enhance its ties with Europe.
"Europe deserves recognition that it has been instrumental in spreading the values of freedom, equality, and fraternity outside of the West. If Europe�s soul is fed by the spirit of enlightenment, equality and democracy, then Turkey must also have its spot in this peaceful Europe," Pamuk said.
Once nominated as Turkey�s "national artist" �a title he declined�Pamuk's controversial statements regarding human rights in Turkey are currently the source of legal trouble for the Turkish writer. On 16 December, he is due to go on trial for saying in a Swiss newspaper that 'thirty thousand Kurds and a million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it.' He is being tried under a Turkish penal code which forbids insulting 'being a Turk, the Republic or Turkish Grand National Assembly' and has additional penalties if such statements are made in foreign countries. Pamuk therefore faces up to three years in jail for his statement and his impending trial is being seen as a test case for freedom of expression in Turkey. Pamuk says that he never used the word "genocide" to describe the massacres
Pamuk grew up the grandson of one of the first factory owners in Turkey. He studied architecture and journalism and spent time at Columbia University in New York City in the 1980s. One of the most important Turkish writers of his generation, Pamuk has often been compared to the likes of Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges. His novels and nonfiction, which also include My Name is Red and "The White Castle, have been translated into 34 languages in 100 countries.
"We are pleased to honor a writer who, like no other writer of our times, has traced the historical paths of both the East and the West, one that is committed to an idea of culture that is based on knowledge and respect for others," the German Publishers and Booksellers Trade Organization said in a statement.
Pamuk�s works have been critical and commercial successes in Germany, where 3% of the population is of Turkish origin and where the question of Turkey�s potential inclusion in European Union still looms large in the public debate.
Still, some critics have called the choice of Pamuk less of a literary than a political statement. The German Peace Prize has been awarded since 1950 to writers from around the globe who have devoted their work to fostering international understanding between nations and peoples. The 25,000 Eur ($30,000) monetary prize is comprised solely of contributions made from German booksellers and publishing houses. Last year's winner was Hungarian author Peter Esterhazy and the 2003 winner was Susan Sontag of the United States. Other past recipients of the prize include Albert Schweitzer, Theodor Heuss, Ernst Bloch, Max Frisch, Astrid Lindgren, Yehudi Menuhin, Vaclav Havel, Mario Vargas Llosa and Fritz Stern, just to name a few.

Bending the rules on bacteria (New York Times)
PEPPERED as we are by government warnings about the potential health hazards of eating and drinking just about everything, it was refreshing (and perplexing) to see a widely respected food writer assert recently that “people are unnecessarily afraid of bacteria” in the kitchen.
In April, Michael Ruhlman, author of “Ratio” and “The Elements of Cooking” and co-author of books by Thomas Keller and other chefs, said on his blog that he likes to make chicken stock and leave it out on the stovetop all week, using portions day to day to make quick soups and sauces.
But what about the harmful microbes that could grow on foods if they were not kept either chilled or hot? “Once your stock is cooked, it’s safe to eat,” Mr. Ruhlman wrote. “If there were bad bacteria in it, you’d have killed them.” After the stock has cooled, simply reheat it, he continued, and “any bacteria that landed there and began to multiply will be dispatched well before the stock hits a simmer.”
Sounds plausible, and Mr. Ruhlman and his family are alive and well. But after checking with an independent expert on food safety, I wouldn’t follow this recipe without slapping a biohazard label on my stockpot.
The Food and Drug Administration sets regulations for commercial food production. These specify that cooked foods should sit out at temperatures from 41 degrees to 135 degrees, the range in which bacteria can grow and multiply, for no more than four hours.
Guidelines for the consumer and home cook, which come from the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, are even stricter. The current brochure, “Keep Food Safe! Food Safety Basics,” on the U.S.D.A. Web site, says not to leave prepared foods in the bacterial growth zone for longer than two hours. And if it’s a 90-degree summer day, cut the two hours to one.
Mr. Ruhlman’s stock spends days in the bacterial growth zone, and he happily makes it into chicken soup for his children.
I’ll admit to violating the guidelines in my own stock-making, though by a few hours, not days. When I cook a roast for dinner, I use leftover scraps and bones to start the stock, simmer it while I clean up, and take the pot off the heat right before I go to bed. At that point it’s too much trouble to cool the hot stock so it won’t warm up its neighbors in the refrigerator. Instead, I cover the pot, leave it at room temperature and reheat it in the morning, about eight hours later, before straining, cooling and refrigerating it. And my stock hasn’t made me or my family ill, either.
Can I be even more relaxed about my stock-making? Or have Mr. Ruhlman and I just been lucky? For an expert opinion, I sent our recipes to O. Peter Snyder, a food scientist and veteran educator and consultant to the food-service industry, who has at times taken issue with government guidelines he considers unnecessarily conservative.
Dr. Snyder replied in an e-mail: “The process described by Mr. Ruhlman is a very high-risk procedure. It depends totally on reheating the stock before it is used to be sure that it doesn’t make anyone ill or possibly kill them.”
It’s a basic fact that every cook should know: bacteria that cause illness inevitably end up on nearly every ingredient we cook with, and even boiling won’t kill all of them.
Boiling does kill any bacteria active at the time, including E. coli and salmonella. But a number of survivalist species of bacteria are able to form inactive seedlike spores. These dormant spores are commonly found in farmland soils, in dust, on animals and field-grown vegetables and grains. And the spores can survive boiling temperatures.
After a food is cooked and its temperature drops below 130 degrees, these spores germinate and begin to grow, multiply and produce toxins. One such spore-forming bacterium is Clostridium botulinum, which can grow in the oxygen-poor depths of a stockpot, and whose neurotoxin causes botulism.
Once they’ve germinated, bacteria multiply quickly in nourishing stock. They can double their numbers every 90 minutes at room temperature, every 15 minutes at body temperature. A single germinated spore can become 1,000 bacteria in a matter of hours, a billion in a few days.
As Dr. Snyder put it, “After sitting on the stove and growing bacteria for two or three days, Mr. Ruhlman’s stock almost certainly has high levels of infectious Clostridium perfringens cells, or Clostridium botulinum or Bacillus cereus cells and their toxins, or so | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5882 | {"url": "http://www.curiouscook.com/site/2011/08/index.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.curiouscook.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:20:41Z", "digest": "sha1:MCMELW4QGWAFYYRCFQMDF6SYSPHXFC3I"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4568, 4568.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4568, 4735.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4568, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4568, 28.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4568, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4568, 326.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4568, 0.38736842]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4568, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4568, 0.01307546]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4568, 0.00817216]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4568, 0.00653773]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4568, 0.01089621]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4568, 0.01894737]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4568, 0.16105263]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4568, 0.50836551]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4568, 4.72458172]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4568, 5.46346706]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4568, 777.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 34, 0.0], [34, 52, 0.0], [52, 72, 0.0], [72, 119, 0.0], [119, 398, 1.0], [398, 684, 1.0], [684, 1091, 1.0], [1091, 1303, 1.0], [1303, 1560, 1.0], [1560, 1941, 1.0], [1941, 2063, 1.0], [2063, 2652, 1.0], [2652, 2987, 1.0], [2987, 3216, 1.0], [3216, 3391, 1.0], [3391, 3734, 1.0], [3734, 4026, 1.0], [4026, 4303, 1.0], [4303, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 34, 0.0], [34, 52, 0.0], [52, 72, 0.0], [72, 119, 0.0], [119, 398, 0.0], [398, 684, 0.0], [684, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1303, 0.0], [1303, 1560, 0.0], [1560, 1941, 0.0], [1941, 2063, 0.0], [2063, 2652, 0.0], [2652, 2987, 0.0], [2987, 3216, 0.0], [3216, 3391, 0.0], [3391, 3734, 0.0], [3734, 4026, 0.0], [4026, 4303, 0.0], [4303, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 13, 2.0], [13, 34, 4.0], [34, 52, 3.0], [52, 72, 2.0], [72, 119, 8.0], [119, 398, 43.0], [398, 684, 53.0], [684, 1091, 73.0], [1091, 1303, 35.0], [1303, 1560, 42.0], [1560, 1941, 65.0], [1941, 2063, 21.0], [2063, 2652, 112.0], [2652, 2987, 55.0], [2987, 3216, 41.0], [3216, 3391, 31.0], [3391, 3734, 54.0], [3734, 4026, 45.0], [4026, 4303, 45.0], [4303, 4568, 43.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 34, 0.0], [34, 52, 0.0], [52, 72, 0.0], [72, 119, 0.0], [119, 398, 0.0], [398, 684, 0.0], [684, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1303, 0.0], [1303, 1560, 0.01984127], [1560, 1941, 0.00547945], [1941, 2063, 0.0], [2063, 2652, 0.0], [2652, 2987, 0.0], [2987, 3216, 0.0], [3216, 3391, 0.0], [3391, 3734, 0.0], [3734, 4026, 0.01060071], [4026, 4303, 0.02973978], [4303, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 13, 0.0], [13, 34, 0.0], [34, 52, 0.0], [52, 72, 0.0], [72, 119, 0.0], [119, 398, 0.0], [398, 684, 0.0], [684, 1091, 0.0], [1091, 1303, 0.0], [1303, 1560, 0.0], [1560, 1941, 0.0], [1941, 2063, 0.0], [2063, 2652, 0.0], [2652, 2987, 0.0], [2987, 3216, 0.0], [3216, 3391, 0.0], [3391, 3734, 0.0], [3734, 4026, 0.0], [4026, 4303, 0.0], [4303, 4568, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 13, 0.15384615], [13, 34, 0.14285714], [34, 52, 0.16666667], [52, 72, 0.1], [72, 119, 0.08510638], [119, 398, 0.02867384], [398, 684, 0.03496503], [684, 1091, 0.01474201], [1091, 1303, 0.02358491], [1303, 1560, 0.01945525], [1560, 1941, 0.05249344], [1941, 2063, 0.01639344], [2063, 2652, 0.01697793], [2652, 2987, 0.03283582], [2987, 3216, 0.02620087], [3216, 3391, 0.00571429], [3391, 3734, 0.01457726], [3734, 4026, 0.01027397], [4026, 4303, 0.01083032], [4303, 4568, 0.03396226]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4568, 0.8885988]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4568, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4568, 0.32599163]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4568, -110.84663077]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4568, 96.59651814]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4568, -247.63788107]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4568, 50.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
The History of Sir HenryNetta Cruse
The History of Sir Henry
Netta Cruse
In the tradition of Jane Austen and Edith Wharton comes Netta Cruse, an ambitious novelist who chose to write in the grand old style with her first novel, The History of Sir Henry.
Surprisingly, Sir Henry is the antagonist of this story and his niece Lady Frances is the protagonist. At age nineteen, Lady Frances Pleckham is left an orphan and sent to live with her uncle, Sir Henry, until she comes of age. After some severe disagreements, Lady Frances decides to leave Sir Henry�s home and go to London in the guise of a maid.
Once in London, Lady Frances becomes the guardian of Miss Avenington. All is going well, with the only fly in Lady Frances� ointment being Mr. Beauclerk, a gentleman of Lady Frances� acquaintance when she was living with her uncle. With one word from him, Lady Frances could be back under her uncle�s roof in hours. Despite this looming threat, Lady Frances stays on with Miss Avenington out of affection. Soon enough, however, her affections spread to include Mr. Beauclerk. Later, in a knightly proposal of marriage, Mr. Beauclerk reveals his affections for Lady Francis.
On the whole, The History of Sir Henry is enjoyable. The wording is stilted and disjointed at first, but that fades into the background of the story. This book is written in the style of the classics and earnestly tries to capture their spirit. Ms. Cruse put an impressive effort into the writing of this book. It must have been difficult to write, as it�s entirely against the grain of the way things are done today. The reader is able to connect with the characters and get happy or excited as they do throughout the story.

Men's Sitting Hosts Canada in 4-Match Series
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 24, 2014) – The U.S. Men’s National Sitting Volleyball Team will host its Canadian counterpart in a four-match series Feb. 7-9 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. All four matches are open to the public and free of charge. The contests are being held in conjunction with the USA Volleyball High Performance Coaches’ Clinic.
The matches will take place on Feb. 7 at 3 p.m., Feb. 8 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Feb. 9 at 8:30 a.m. with all times listed as Mountain Time. The first two matches will be held in Sports Center II Gym #7. Seating is very limited for these two matches. The final two matches will be in Sports Center I Gym #1. Fans can enter the U.S. Olympic Training Center at the Boulder Street gate with venue doors opening an hour prior to the match.
The four-match series will serve as an early season warm-up for the 2014 ParaVolley World Championships to be held June 6-23 in Poland. Team USA qualified for the world event by earning the silver medal at the 2013 ParaVolley Pan American Sitting Volleyball Zonal Championship in October 2013. The Americans defeated the Canadians twice in the competition, including a four-set win in the semifinals. However, the U.S. lost to regional rival Brazil in the gold-medal match.
“Having the team play during the HP Coaches’ Clinic is a privilege for the team,” U.S. National Sitting Volleyball Teams Program Director Bill Hamiter said. “I hope the indoor coaches will not only be entertained, but also see the complexity, speed and difficulty of the sitting discipline.”
According to Hamiter, the Men’s Sitting Team program has rare opportunities for competition on American soil and the upcoming matches are important dates on the 2014 calendar. The four matches in Colorado Springs will be the only formal matches the team will have prior to competition at the World Championships.
“We are always needing more matches, especially at home,” Hamiter said. “Playing Canada helps us in both those areas as well as gives us important preparation matches for Worlds.”
Both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Sitting Volleyball Teams are based in Edmond, Okla., and train at University of Central Oklahoma. Hamiter feels these matches are a great opportunity to expose the sport to Olympic movement leaders in Colorado Springs.
“Neither of the Sitting Teams has ever played matches in Colorado Springs, so this is an excellent chance for the USA Volleyball national office and local supporters to watch the team play,” Hamiter said. “This also gives any USOC and U.S. Paralympics staff that are still in town (not in Sochi for Winter Olympic Games) a chance to view the team.”

Cursed To First - Sox and Pats forever.

The Celtics Through Osmosis
My relationship, such as it is, with this year's Boston Celtics probably began with Andrew, a coworker of mine who, at times, has been solely responsible for keeping me sane at work. Andrew, a native of Dedham, is a fan of skateboarding, BMX, hip-hop and the C's. I, a native of Chelmsford, am a fan of the Sox, the Pats, and attempting to work myself to death (cf the last week, when I was incommunicado due to yet another business trip). In addition to frequent IM-based primal scream sessions, Andrew and I have struck up a kind of cultural exchange, based on our different backgrounds and the sports teams we're passionate about. Andrew is to the Red Sox as I am to the Celtics: he's aware of them, he'll see a game occasionally, but they're not his be-all and end-all. He and I keep each other updated on how our respective teams are doing, which is how I've understood why adding only two players to the team could have made such a difference, who KG and Ray Allen are, and--though he has to constantly remind me of this last one--their positions. I've gotten to know the best nickname in sports--Paul Pierce's "The Truth"--and terms like fast break and one on four. Andrew doesn't need as many technical pointers about baseball, but I keep him apprised of the notable quotes from Beckett or Papelbon, the latest losing or winning streak, the latest high five from Manny to the fans. Another friend of mine, Ryan, has also sprinkled updates on the "Celtiges" when we talk about the Sox or Pats. Most of the time this year, the Celtiges were kicking ass, and he wanted to explain to me how.
Little by little, I've been sucked in to the Celtics' world. ***
My trip to Vegas last week made me aware for the first time that I've developed even a slight attachment to a basketball team, which is not something I ever expected would happen. We've all blogged on the way sports interests have to do with your relationship with your father; my dad liked baseball and football, coached football even, but at least by the time I was verbal, hardly ever watched hockey or basketball.
Apparently my grandfather liked to watch the Bruins, and my dad was known to watch them from time to time years ago. My dad will also give you a nice lecture about how there will never again be a team like Bill Russell's Celtics. But today? "I can't stand professional basketball," he said when I asked if he was going to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals last night. "They never call the right fouls, they're always travelling and palming the ball, it's just a crappy game."I don't have an appreciation for the technical details at that level, so maybe he's right. But my ignorance also means I don't have a solid reason not to watch the Celtics. "Every time I've tried to watch them, they've sucked," was my dad's further argument against watching Game 5. He cited Game 4, for which he only tuned in to the first quarter or so. "They were just awful when we were watching. Just freakin' awful."
"Right, but the third quarter's the important one," I told him. "That's when they've been taking control of games.Like in Game 4--it was the biggest comeback in NBA finals history!"
And then I wondered just who was talking here. Surely not me...?
It's a weird feeling to be on the side of an argument for a sport or game that my father's not. Time after time he's tried to regale me on the merits of golf or lately even NASCAR. The Celtics are the one spot where I think the sports-junkieism I cultivated to get to know my Dad better has gone beyond just his interests, and become its own, potentially uncontrollable habit. My mother, who has declared a moratorium on all new sports in the family for time-management and budget reasons, would not be pleased. ***
This also happens to have been the yea that I attended my first and only live Celtics game, against the Cavs Feb. 27. I remember that date because a snowstorm picked up just as I was leaving the game, and I wound up getting in a car accident that night on my way home. It was also at that game that I realized the one thing that has kept me from truly embracing basketball--the horrible sound of shoe rubber squeaking--is not audible at a live game. I also learned about fouls, personal and technical, individual and team, from a consultant with a thick accent, originally from South Boston, who eschewed the hors d'ouevres in the luxury box we'd been brought to for a business event in favor of the front row seats. Then I found out about both Lucky and GINO, and thought, well, maybe there's something to this Celtics thing. ***
It's not like I've gone out and bought a jersey or wallpapered my room with shots of KG. It's not like I could even name most of the bench players or that I would call myself a true fan--if there's one thing I've wanted to avoid, it's being That Guy, the one who comes along and says, "Hey, basketball's really interesting now that the Celtics are any good."
But another part of me wonders if anybody truly gets into a sport they've otherwise had no reason to watch when their home team is out-and-out sucking. It's against the sports-fan code of ethics to say this, but I don't think there's any other kind of fan, when you get right down to it, than a bandwagon fan--someone who was captivated by an out-of-the-ordinary season, or educated on the finer points of a sport by seeing a team playing at its highest level. The more I see, the more I think all fandom starts that way. After that it's only a matter of timing. ***
For me, the big hook with the Celtics has been my hometown loyalties. My rabid fandom for the Sox and Pats has a lot to do with that, too. Especially when it comes to the Sox, following them is so intertwined with my passion for the city they live in that it's often hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. This same goes for the Celtics (after all, who am I not to give the city's winningest franchise at least some attention?)--and it's the reason why this past week of travel brought it out in such relief. On my flight out to Vegas from Logan, passengers came correct with Boston sports team gear--a Sox hat here, a C's t-shirt there. But while I waited for the flight back, right after the epic Game 4 had ended, a load of passengers coming in from Boston got off the plane while I waited to board at the gate, yelling about the Celtics and Game 4. They rocked T-shirts, flatbrims, jerseys, you name it. Out in Vegas it's LA territory. Without indigenous teams, they're fans of the Dodgers and Lakers, or at least that's what their local TV affiliates show. Vegas is also the epicenter of sports betting in America. You'd think there might be more of a sports culture--but those people from Boston at the airport were the most obvious display of sports fandom I saw all week.
In the airport and on this trip I saw people from many walks of life, from many geographic areas, but nowhere did I hear sports occupy so much of the conversation as at that airport gate, watching one Boston flight debark, and waiting to board another. On board, I was surrounded by more team gear--Sox caps, C's jerseys, t-shirts with pugilistic sayings on them about the Yankees, even some Patriots stuff. "They better be replaying the game," said the man next to me, gesturing to the JetBlue seatback TV. They were, and though he fell asleep while we were still over Nebraska, I watched the whole second half of Game 4 on the redeye flight that night. I had watched all the games on that week, often with the TV on for company as I fell asleep in an ocean of king-sized bed, alone in a hotel suite bigger than my apartment. It made me feel more at home. ***
In the course of watching the Finals, I've developed a serious crush, like everybody else did years ago, on Paul Pierce. There's just something about him, his calm, smooth manner, and the fact that his teammates clearly adore him. Also, I have come to appreciate a kind celebration in basketball that I think should be adopted in other sports, especially baseball:
(AP Photo) The jersey pull. How cool would that be if Coco had done it after steppin' to the Rays? ***
Last night as the game started, a glossy NBA-prepared intro replayed some of the most memorable moments from championships past, many of which featured the Celtics. When it came to the shots of Larry Bird dribbling down the court, accompanied by the croaking, cigarette-choked voice of Johnny Most, my dad raised one hand to his throat and did his own impersonation in response, chuckling in spite of himself. "Bill Laimbeer..." I began in my own Johnny Most voice, which I picked up from the City of Champions DVD that I bought for its Sox and Pats content. It just sort of came free with an education about Celtics history.
"...dirtiest player on the court," my dad croaked back. "Dirtiest player in the league!" We settled in and watched the first half together. ***
At home for the second half, I hollered "Oh God!" at the top of my lungs as Kobe Bryant stole the ball from Pierce, ran it back and slammed a hanging, hollering dunk to make it a 5-point game with under a minute left to play. (This would turn out to be the coup de grace and additional confirmation for my newbie self that Kobe really is as hateful as they say.) Then I realized it was midnight, and that I'm no longer in a hotel but in a house with neighbors I will have to see again, and for the second time that night I thought to myself, just who was it that yelled that out just now? Surely not me...

Bank Transfer Day a Year Later, New Relationships Blossom
September 27, 2012 • Reprints The Rundown
Credit union execs tout litany of opportunities to build long-term relationships.
Auto loans, online banking, credit cards, checking accounts among highest usage.
Bank Transfer Day’s impact may further move economy into recovery.
For many credit unions, the first 90 days after a new member signs on can be a critical gauge on whether a relationship can be nurtured and sustained for the long term.
That time frame will certainly be a factor as questions from both in and outside the credit union industry wonder what became of the 214,000 members who joined in the month leading up to Bank Transfer Day on Nov. 5, 2011. That’s not including the 450,000 new members who joined credit unions in September, October, November and December last year.
Competitors, particularly some banks, may also wonder if that membership surge led to meaningful, revenue-building relationships.
Indeed, the $2 billion Redwood Credit Union questioned whether BTD was a one-off event, said Anne Benjamin, executive vice president and chief operating officer. Between Oct. 1, 2011 and Aug. 31, 2012, the Santa Rosa, Calif.-based financial institution opened 24,019 new accounts. It currently serves more than 220,000 members.
“It’s interesting because we’ve been thoughtful on what has happened to those members who came on last year. Are they growing, are they thriving?” Benjamin asked. “The question was ‘Is this a flash in the pan or will they embrace the credit union long term?’”
Redwood conducted an internal survey to find out. The credit union discovered average new member growth month over month grew from 1,900 to 2,000 as a result of Bank Transfer Day. Normally, the checking penetration rate would be 65%. Benjamin said that percentage increased to 85%.
Online banking use also bumped up from 78% to 84.5%, and bill pay and credit cards were at higher levels. Benjamin said single-service households dropped from roughly 14% to 8.6% and products per household, normally an average of 2.02, increased to 2.05 during the Transfer Day quarter.
The question of whether some of those new members that rode in on the Transfer Day wave to Redwood have become unprofitable due to a lack of having multiple product and service relationships is not an issue, Benjamin said, pointing to layers of data that show otherwise.
“These are truly committed members. We do a really good job of listening to our members and helping them find the right products to meet their needs,” Benjamin noted. “That has been our focus for a very long time.”
Much on that growing loyalty has hinged on Redwood visibility in and involvement around the communities it serves, Benjamin said.
“Because we have been highly visible, it made us a good candidate for people to make their move. We found they completed divorced their financial institution,” Benjamin said of new members who joined over the past year.
In the midst of the Transfer Day buzz last year, some sources, including banking groups, said that some of the new members who joined credit unions around that time, may have been former unprofitable bank customers.
At the time, Brian Turner, director of advisory services at Catalyst Strategic Solutions, an investment subsidiary of Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union in Plano, Texas, called the criticism a clear case of sour grapes–an opinion he continues to hold on to nearly a year later.
While profitability is an important element of any financial institution, particularly the safety and protection of equity capital, Turner said, some bankers may believe that there is a natural conflict between the mandate that credit unions have to create member benefits from the services they provide and the fiduciary responsibility they have as a financial institution.
“Providing lower loan rates and higher savings rates while delivering their products and services at a lower cost,” Turner said, has helped credit unions to avoid the need to charge across-the-board fees for its services.
“So, this is not an issue of the profitability of these new members. Even with low rates and declining marginal spreads, adding member deposits at this time can be achieved without harming the return profile of the institution or benefits to the membership,” Turner said.
Kirk Kordeleski, president/CEO of the $4.9 billion Bethpage Federal Credit Union in Bethpage, N.Y., is convinced that new members that come in with just a checking account are not drains on the bottom line.
“When you come in that way, folks are moving transactions, be it with direct deposits and debit transactions. That creates connections to the institutions,” Kordeleski said. “That’s why checking and mortgages have been primary financial institution builders for credit unions.” Since Transfer Day, Bethpage’s membership added 16,000 new members to its more than 201,000 membership, Kordeleski said. New checking accounts grew 30% on top of what the credit union would normally do going from 1,600 to 2,200 each month.
These new members are also going into the branches to make more connections and at the same time, building a primary financial institution alliance for the long term, he added.
“I just don’t buy that argument that they’re a drain on the bottom line. BTD was about the checking account,” Kordeleski said. “They’re just so much substance there.”
Some credit unions may not want to say it out loud, but the reality is gaps have to be filled to make up for those members who, for whatever reasons, are not taking advantage of the products and services available.
“We always come to fall in line with the national statistic of 20% of members supporting the other 80%,” said Kim Faucher, vice president of marketing for the $91 million Northwest Resource Federal Credit Union in Portland, Ore.
By no means is the cooperative dismissing BTD’s impact. The numbers were solid across the board. Cross-sell figures went from 1.87% to 2.37% and new members continued to add additional products over time.
The average increase of accounts per member from open date, which varied since Transfer Day to August 2012 data was 11%, Faucher said. Twenty-five percent of new loans were originated, and there was a 60% increase in new checking accounts as well as jumps in auto loans, credit cards and real estate, Faucher said. The average loan balance from the new members doubled compared to membership as a whole.
“Although we want everyone contributing to the cooperative, but if it’s just a savings account, there is a fee,” Faucher explained. “It goes against the credit union philosophy, but if they’re not participating with additional products, we do know that we have to fee them.”
After Bank Transfer Day, which was sparked by a failed attempt by Bank of America to levy a $5 monthly debit card usage fee, CUNA Mutual Group Chief Economist Dave Colby urged credit unions to move rapidly to establish multiple, mutually beneficial product relationships. Not doing so, he warned, could possibly lead to a headline that might read “CUs Rush to Purge Unprofitable Members as Best Members Leave.”
Colby said that while he still feels the same today, there are still spaces where credit unions can turn unprofitable members into profitable ones.
“The area where credit unions can show the most positive advantage is lending. It could be a lower rate credit card, a car loan or a mortgage purchase or re finance and of course, debt consolidation,” Colby said. “The lower interest rate environment only makes it easier to show a positive impact of replacing existing debt with a new credit union loan.”
Credit unions might also consider going beyond the checking account with a debit card and do a financial review and then providing rate or bonus incentives for direct deposit, automatic payments, paperless and online banking, Colby offered.
“One of the strategies I like best is to make it a community challenge where the credit union advertises, ‘The recovery begins here in our community, one member at a time,’” Colby said. “Find cash flow with lower rates and better terms on loans. Then, continually remind the community how much you have saved members.”
The $141 million San Jose Credit Union in San Jose, Calif., signed on about 660 new members from November 2011 to this past August, said Sara Holtz, marketing manager. The cooperative serves more than 11,000 members. Auto loans, checking accounts and online services increased as a result of Transfer Day, she added.
A better indication of the credit union’s results is that prior to the national switch day, it signed an average of 48 new members a month, Holtz said. After November 2011, that average increased to about 65 new members a month, and the growth trend continues to this day.
“Credit unions are sometimes the best kept secret because people don’t realize how much membership actually benefits them,” Holtz said. “While the effects of the day won’t last forever, and we don’t consider it a one and done initiative, Bank Transfer Day was an inspiring way for our credit union to be an influential part of a larger financial movement.”
In its internal survey of member activity post-Transfer Day, Redwood discovered a wrinkle that confirmed where long-term, profitable relationships can be found: all over the demographic map.. While the new members tended to be older–an average of 44.4 years old compared to 40.8–there was an overall growth rate of 32% in the 18- to 34-year old category during the Transfer Day quarter, a percentage consistent with previous quarters.
“They’re more loan oriented,” Benjamin said of the younger members. “But we know we need to have a balance of older deposits.”
Turner said if credit unions can be the best at five to 10 principal products and services that most of its members need, brand loyalty is certain to follow, helping to reduce margin delivery costs, and the savings are then returned to the member in the form of lower loans rates and higher savings rates. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5886 | {"url":

Lenders Eye Auto Loans with 65- 75- and 97-Month Terms: WSJ
April 10, 2013 • Reprints More aggressive competition among lenders to woo car shoppers and an increase in new car prices have led some lenders to offer loans past the traditional terms – some as high at 97 months.
According to the Wall Street Journal, monthly payments can be kept under the $500 mark through longer terms, which is where some new car shoppers would like them to be. Citing data from Experian Information Solutions Inc., the publication said the average new car loan was 65 months during the fourth quarter of 2012. Seventeen percent of new car loans were 73 and 84 months in the first quarter of this year, the Wall Street Journal reported, adding a few extended out to 97 months.
Among those lenders most likely to offer the long-term loans are credit unions and independent banks, Melinda Zabritski, director of automotive credit for Experian Automotive, told the publication.
While the loans have helped consumers get into newer cars than in the past, some car manufacturers have said the longer terms may cause drivers to put off replacing their vehicles, which could eat into sales down the road, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Critics of the longer term loans say a six- or seven-year loan may mean the car buyer will take longer to reach the point where they owe less on the car than it is worth, the publication said. Being upside down with a vehicle loan may also make it difficult to sell or trade if the payments cannot be made.
According to Experian, the average price of a new car has increased to $31,000, which is up $3,000 since 2009. Lower interest rates and longer term loans have also led to lower average monthly payments from $465 to $460 during the same time period, according to the Wall Street Journal. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5887 | {"url": "http://www.cutimes.com/2013/04/10/lenders-eye-auto-loans-with-65--75--and-97-month-t?t=lendingttechnology", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cutimes.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:28:55Z", "digest": "sha1:PBKPH7RV6PCMXJ52BMPN4P3E2EVQFRLA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1811, 1811.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1811, 5249.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1811, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1811, 114.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1811, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1811, 232.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1811, 0.41046832]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1811, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1811, 0.06400551]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1811, 0.06400551]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1811, 0.02064694]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1811, 0.03578802]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1811, 0.0550585]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1811, 0.00275482]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1811, 0.16804408]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1811, 0.55031447]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1811, 4.56918239]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1811, 4.79106612]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1811, 318.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 275, 1.0], [275, 759, 1.0], [759, 957, 1.0], [957, 1218, 1.0], [1218, 1525, 1.0], [1525, 1811, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 275, 0.0], [275, 759, 0.0], [759, 957, 0.0], [957, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1525, 0.0], [1525, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 60, 11.0], [60, 275, 39.0], [275, 759, 85.0], [759, 957, 28.0], [957, 1218, 45.0], [1218, 1525, 60.0], [1525, 1811, 50.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.10909091], [60, 275, 0.03773585], [275, 759, 0.03171247], [759, 957, 0.0], [957, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1525, 0.0], [1525, 1811, 0.06909091]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 275, 0.0], [275, 759, 0.0], [759, 957, 0.0], [957, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1525, 0.0], [1525, 1811, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.15], [60, 275, 0.01395349], [275, 759, 0.0268595], [759, 957, 0.02525253], [957, 1218, 0.01532567], [1218, 1525, 0.00651466], [1525, 1811, 0.02097902]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1811, 0.95424658]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1811, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1811, 0.635777]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1811, -64.05381319]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1811, 39.86797482]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1811, -10.18896497]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1811, 11.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Madison Merger: Heartland CU Takes in Kilowatt CU
July 23, 2013 • Reprints The $22 million Kilowatt Credit Union of Madison, Wis., will merge into the $195 million Heartland Credit Union in Madison on Aug. 1.
“As a small credit union, KCU has struggled to become profitable for more than two years,” KCU said in a statement to its 3,681 members.
“The low interest rate environment has produced decreasing loan income and decreasing investment income,” the statement said. “Complying with ongoing government regulations has increased expenses. Our longtime members retire and close their KCU account to consolidate funds closer to home. New members are young and look for new technology to be added, another expense.”
Over the past five years, loan and investment revenues have been declining for KCU. As a result, its net income slid from $103,418 in 2008 to $1,928 in 2010. In 2011 and 2012, the credit union posted a total net income loss of $130,446, according to NCUA financial performance reports.
KCU President/CEO Nicki Troia will retire on Aug. 1. Two other employees will be offered positions at HCU.
KCU’s sole branch and ATM will close post merger.
KCU was chartered in 1935 as the General Office Credit Union to provide financial services to employees and families of the Alliant Energy Corp. and other communities. In 1952, the credit union changed its name to Kilowatt Credit Union.

From the July 24, 2013 issue of Credit Union Times Magazine • Subscribe! Cordray Wins Appointment After Senate Deal
July 24, 2013 • Reprints Richard Cordray was confirmed as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau July 16, after Senate Democrats and Republicans successfully negotiated a deal that includes other pending nominees and will keep filibuster rules in place.
With a final confirmation vote of 66-34, Cordray can now put aside the controversy surrounding his appointment and settle in to a five-year term.
President Obama first nominated Cordray in July 2011, but Senate Republicans blocked his confirmation. In response, Obama installed Cordray with a recess appointment during the Senate’s 2011 winter break. That appointment would have expired at the end of this year.
Republicans in both the Senate and the House balked at the move, and the recess appointment was also threatened by a lawsuit that is expected to reach the Supreme Court over other appointments made during the same period to the National Labor Relations Board.
Frustrated over a lack of progress confirming nominees, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had threatened to alter filibuster rules, which allow for unlimited debate in the upper chamber unless 60 Senators vote to cut it off. However, the two parties successfully negotiated a compromise that resulted in an end to the impasse.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who headed the effort to develop the CFPB, said in a statement after it became clear Cordray’s confirmation was imminent that the bureau is the law of the land and here to stay.
“We fought hard for the agency, and we proved that big change is still possible in Washington,” she said. “Now we have the watchdog that the American people deserve–a watchdog looking out for middle-class families, getting rid of tricks, traps, and fine print, and holding financial institutions accountable when they break the law.”
Leaders of both CUNA and NAFCU promptly congratulated Cordray on his appointment, and lauded him for his accessibility and willingness to listen to credit union industry concerns.
“In fact, on a number of occasions, [Corday] has been willing to make positive rule changes even after a regulation has been adopted – a very rare occurrence for a regulator,” CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney said in a release.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), who had banned Cordray from testifying before the committee over the recess appointment issue, said in a statement that the committee will call on him to present the CFPB’s semi-annual report as soon as practicable.
“His confirmation, however, does not change the fact that the CFPB lacks the most basic semblance of accountability and transparency that hardworking taxpayers deserve from government agencies,” he said. “No one unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat in Washington should have so much control over the financial destiny of Americans, particularly one who is completely insulated from the types of checks and balances that apply to other government agencies. Our committee will continue its vigorous oversight of the CFPB and do everything we can to make the CFPB as accountable as possible.”
Hensarling had advocated for Cordray to be replaced with bipartisan commission to oversee the bureau, and has also called for the CFPB’s budget to be approved by Congress.

Fibre FCU Continues Expansion With First Oregon Branch
September 23, 2013 • Reprints One year after being approved to expand into Oregon, Fibre Federal Credit Union of Longview, Wash., has announced the establishment of its first Oregon branch.
The $750 million community credit union will build a full-service branch in Rainer in Columbia County, one of three counties for which it received NCUA approval to serve in 2012 under a rural designation.
The other two counties, Clatsop in Oregon and Wahkiakum in Washington, constitute a rural area with a population of less than 200,000, part of the criteria that helps define the regulator’s rural designation, according to Angie Leppert, Fibre FCU’s vice president of marketing.
This year NCUA approved expanding the rural designation to include Pacific County in Washington, Leppert added
“A lot of people were traveling significant distances to use our services,” Leppert said. “We’re excited to be able to offer our first Oregon branch, as well as serve a new county.”
The new branch will have the same footprint as the credit union’s other branches, offering an ATM, drive-up lanes and a full slate of financial services.
Fibre FCU, founded in 1937 to serve members of the Longview Fibre Co., became a community-based credit union in the 1970s. NCUA’s rural designation approval in 2012 enabled the credit union to make its first forays into Oregon.

Changing of Guard at CUNA Mutual By Michelle A. Samaad
November 15, 2013 • Reprints Jeff Post, who has led CUNA Mutual Group as president/CEO of the company since 2005, announced Nov. 8 that he will retire at the end of the year.
Robert N. “Bob” Trunzo was named by CUNA Mutual’s board of directors to succeed Post effective Jan. 1, 2014, according to the Madison, Wis.-based company.
Since joining CUNA Mutual in June of 2005, Trunzo has held a number of senior leadership positions, most recently as president of CUNA Mutual Group Insurance and Financial Services. He becomes the eighth president in the company’s 78-year history.
“I’m honored and humbled to lead CUNA Mutual Group. We have solid business strategies in motion and the company is well positioned to continue the strong momentum we have in our marketplace,” Trunzo told Credit Union Times.
In his role as president of CUNA Mutual Group Insurance and Financial Services, Trunzo was responsible for the products, distribution and service of the company’s U.S. credit union businesses as well as its 401(k) business, the company said. Trunzo was also responsible for nearly 3,000 of the company’s 4,500 employees and approximately $2 billion of CUNA Mutual’s annual revenues.
With Trunzo taking the helm in January, one of the company’s priorities is to build on its financial strength so that CUNA Mutual can deliver on promises to credit unions long into the future, he said. For instance, the company said it has made significant investments in a number of its product lines including TruStage lending products, retirement plan services and CUNA Brokerage Services Inc.
“These are core business areas for us—and are a significant part of our long-term strategy,” Trunzo said. “We will also continue delivering the credit union protection products that are vital to the credit union movement.”
Regarding making any adjustments within CUNA Mutual’s current management team, Trunzo said one of his priorities is to keep positive momentum in the marketplace.
“We currently have excellent managers who have delivered consistent results,” Trunzo pointed out. “Although we continually look for ways to improve our organization, I have a great deal of confidence in my team.”
Trunzo also said he does not have any plans to consolidate operations within the company, but added he would take a serious look at such opportunities that would benefit the firm’s customers.
Next Page: Facing Same Challenges CUNA Mutual faces many of the same challenges as credit unions do, Trunzo said.
“The financial services landscape is changing and changing fast. That means we have to continually anticipate where the market is headed and plan appropriately,” Trunzo explained. “We are in a strong financial position and have sound business strategies in place that make me feel confident about our ability to succeed long-term.”
Trunzo gives strong credit to Post for leaving CUNA Mutual in a solid position, leading a multi-year transformation plan that repositioned the organization for success in the credit union marketplace and beyond. The plan included reinvention of the firm’s sales distribution model and its customer service, product and investment strategies.
“I’m very comfortable with the decision,” Post said of his pending retirement. “In my nine years, our people have come together and accomplished so many great things. Bob’s ready to carry the vision forward.”
Post said his retirement was simply the right time for him and his wife, Lisa. Post will be assisting CUNA Mutual’s board and Trunzo to assure a smooth transition through July 2014, according to Eldon Arnold, CUNA Mutual board
chairman. After then, Post said he’s looking forward to some much-deserved leisure time. While there are many positives about being the president of an insurance company, Post said having personal time isn’t one of them.
“I’m going to take it easy for a while; I have some cars that need attention,” he said. “My schedule has been rigorous, to say the least. I’m looking forward to coming up for air, but I’ll miss the committed people of our company who every day step up and make a difference for our customers. I’ll also miss the credit union people, many of whom have become good friends to me and Lisa.”
“The time’s right for the company, too. Under Bob’s capable leadership, CUNA Mutual Group will maintain its customer focus, continued growth and positive momentum,” Post said. “The company has a bright future, and I’m honored to have been a part of helping make that happen.” Indeed, Post said CUNA Mutual took its financials to new heights by growing the company 44% while breaking down barriers to sharpen customer service and diversifying its business in a way that has benefited credit unions.
“I’d like to think we did business the right way. We identified—and we now live by—core corporate values to guide how we operate,” he said. “We made hard decisions in many areas, including our product portfolio. But in the end, I believe the company, credit unions and our employees are better off for it.”
After a thorough succession planning process and extensive consideration, CUNA Mutual’s board of directors said Trunzo was the right candidate to carry on the company’s “rich tradition and execute our future strategy,” Arnold said.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Trunzo was once Secretary of Commerce under former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson. He is a member of the board of directors of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and serves on the American Council of Life Insurers' CEO Steering Committee on Retirement and Financial Security.
He also served as chairman of the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park board of directors, which oversaw the design, financing and construction of Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Trunzo received his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Kentucky and his law degree from Marquette University. He also completed the Kellogg School of Management Executive Program at Northwestern University in 2011.

'Obama effect' on race in politics: Hope, little change

WASHINGTON -- Since Barack Obama was inaugurated on the west Capitol steps four years ago, a dramatic 30-foot memorial to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. has been unveiled at the other end of the National Mall.
But a key part of the political landscape President Obama will survey as he is sworn in for a second term - that is, the number of black officials in top elective offices - hasn't changed a bit.
Obama's groundbreaking election in 2008 and his re-election in 2012 undeniably has affected the nation's racial politics, proving it's possible for an African American to win the nation's highest office and raising the aspirations of some black candidates. He sparked record turnout in two elections among African American voters.
"One of the many things significant that happened when this president was elected: It gave a much larger group of people an opportunity to be unburdened by who has traditionally done what," says Kamala Harris, who in 2010 became the first woman and first black elected attorney general of California.
"There's a bigger ripple than we tend to assign to it," says Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and president of the NAACP.
In the admittedly short four years since the 2008 election, however, the Obama effect hasn't been reflected in more black candidates actually winning election to the Senate, the House and the nation's governorships. At the intersection of Monday's events - the federal holiday honoring King and the public inauguration of a black president for a second term - the path to the top jobs in American politics seems as steep as ever.
"There were definitely people who were inspired to run for statewide office because of Barack Obama's success," says Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University and author of The New Black Politician: Cory Booker, Newark, and Post-Racial America. "They saw it as a sign that America's racial politics were softening to the point blacks could make more credible runs for statewide office. But we haven't seen the materialization of that dream."
There was one black governor when Obama was inaugurated in 2009. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts is still the only African-American governor in office and just the second since Reconstruction.
There were no elected black U.S. senators in 2009; there still aren't today. Then, Roland Burris had been appointed to fill the Obama's Senate seat in Illinois. Now, Tim Scott of South Carolina has been appointed to fill the seat vacated by Jim DeMint last month.
There were 39 African Americans elected to the House of Representatives in 2008, not including delegates. There were 42 elected in 2012.
Fifty years ago, when King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington, there were five black members of the House and none in the Senate.
This month marks what Taylor Branch, author of a three-volume history of the civil rights movement, calls the "poignant" overlap of epic anniversaries: 150 years since President Lincoln in January 1863 signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Fifty years since George Wallace in January 1963 was sworn in as governor of Alabama, infamously vowing "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." And now, in January 2013, Obama sworn in for a second term, his hand on Bibles once used by Lincoln and King.
"We are kidding ourselves to think we've gotten over race," Branch says. It is still a "fraught" subject he says most Americans prefer to avoid. Whatever remains to be done, however, he calls the convergence of historic anniversaries a signal of breathtaking change.
If Martin Luther King Jr. had lived to age 84 to see this day, "he would take a great deal of pride in watching President Obama raise his hand to take the oath," Mfume speculates. Still, he says King likely also would have been raising his voice on issues of racism and poverty that persist.
Ironies of 'the Obama effect'
One irony of the Obama effect is that it may have been a bigger boon so far for black hopefuls who are Republican, even though the president and the overwhelming majority of black officeholders and voters are Democratic.
In the face of Obama's success, some GOP leaders have seized opportunities to demonstrate that their party is open to minorities. Mia Love, a small-town mayor running for Congress in Utah last year, won a prized speaking slot at the Republican National Convention in August; the black woman lost narrowly in November. Florida Gov. Rick Scott chose state legislator Jennifer Carroll, also a black woman, as his running mate for lieutenant governor in 2010.
In South Carolina last month, GOP Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott, the first black Republican congressman from the state, to the U.S. Senate when DeMint resigned to become president of the conservative Heritage Foundation.
"The fact that Tim Scott was picked in South Carolina - I mean, the Republicans realized that they have a diversity problem, and I think that has been driven home by the coalition the president has put together," says Stu Rothenberg, editor and publisher of the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report. "If (Republican presidential nominee) Mitt Romney had won this time, I don't know that Tim Scott would be in the Senate."
DeMint himself rejects any suggestions of racism in the GOP. "Frankly, I think it's a little bit of the opposite," the former senator said in an interview last week on Capital Download, a weekly video series on usatoday.com. "(When) we get a good, conservative African American running in the Republican Party, it is very welcome."
Scott already is raising money to run in the 2014 special election for the final two years of DeMint's term. That will test whether he can hold white Republican support and persuade some black Democratic voters to cross party lines in the South.
That's another irony: The region where most black voters live is the one where black candidates tend to have the hardest time winning top jobs.
"If race weren't an issue in this country, the place you would expect to see African Americans elected to statewide office with African American votes would be Southern states with large black populations," says David Bositis, an expert on minority voting and representation at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. "But it's becoming a white, conservative, Republican-dominated area of the country, which means that African Americans, with a few exceptions, are out in terms of statewide office."
In the South, most African-American candidates are Democrats, most statewide officeholders are Republicans, and the electorate is more sharply polarized along racial lines than other parts of the country. Black legislators in the statehouse and Congress often represent districts that are mostly minority.
That has made it harder for some black officeholders to win bigger offices.
"African-American majority districts, whether at the state level or the congressional level, tend to be terrible springboards for minority candidates," says David Wasserman of the non-partisan Cook Political Report. "When these members of Congress represent hyper-liberal, hyper-minority districts, they're speaking to one audience. They're not getting the experience they need to speak with voters of varied ideological persuasions."
The states where black candidates tend to fare best include some with few black voters. Massachusetts, which in 2010 became the first state to re-elect a black governor, is just 7% African American, according to the Census. So is California, which elected Harris. The population of Denver, where Michael Hancock won election in 2010 to become the city's second black mayor, is 12% African American.
"On the local level, we're making tremendous progress," Hancock says. "We can find African-American elected officials even in non-African American communities across the nation, Denver being one. But on the state level, we're still challenged with African Americans being elected to the U.S. Senate and to the governor's office."
Fundraising 'a big factor'
A rising generation of African-American officeholders is preparing to run for those jobs next year.
In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, 43, has taken initial steps to run in 2014 for the U.S. Senate. The seat is now held by Frank Lautenberg, although the 89-year-old incumbent, a fellow Democrat, hasn't announced whether he plans to retire.
In Maryland, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown already is raising money to run for governor in 2014 - a campaign essential that he says remains hard for black candidates. "If you look at fundraising ability, you'll see a real disparity," he says. "That's a big factor."
Even so, he says, black politicians including himself are able to aspire to the highest jobs. "Is President Obama's presidency leading a trend or the result of a trend?" he asks. "It's probably a little bit of both."
Mfume was one of three credible black candidates who sought U.S. Senate seats in 2006 - Ken Blackwell in Ohio, Harold Ford in Tennessee and Mfume in Maryland. None of them prevailed. In 2010, Kendrick Meek won the Democratic nomination for the Senate in Florida, though he ended up finishing third to Republican Marco Rubio and independent Charlie Crist.
"I think the Obama election in many ways parallels the election of Jack Kennedy," says Robert Smith, a political scientist at San Francisco State College. "Kennedy demonstrated that a Catholic could win, and then Catholics began to run." Issues JFK had to address, including his relationship to the pope, weren't raised even when his brother, Robert, ran for president eight years later. (Since Kennedy, however, no Catholic has won the White House.)
"The fact that a black man ran and was elected and was re-elected even in difficult times has to change a little bit of the national psyche about who can win and who can't," Rothenberg says. "It's tinkered with the conventional wisdom about black candidates in general."
The biggest Obama effect might be on children, black and white, whose formative memories will be of having an African-American president. For them, presumably, that seems unremarkable.
"For many, many young people, their experiences in grade school shape the decisions and beliefs about their future more than any other time or point in their lives," Brown says. His son was 8 years old when they went to watch Obama's inauguration four years ago.
"He wasn't asking how was that possible," Brown recalls. "He just accepts that it is."

China Rolls Out UAVs That Look Similar to U.S. Counterparts

Chinese defense companies copy the US
The Chinese military establishment has long copied military hardware from other parts of the world, including the U.S. Some Chinese military drones have been seen at China's Zhuhai air show in model form.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation built the CH-4 and it’s clear that the U.S. Reaper drone heavily influenced its design. The CH-4 has a claimed endurance of 30 hours and can travel nearly 2,000 miles at altitudes of up to 5 miles.
Another drone on display is built by Chengdu Aircraft Design is called the Wing Loong, and it also resembles the Reaper according to reports.
Of all the military drones on display at the air show, however, Defense News reports that the Wing Loong garnered the most attention. That drone reportedly has export deals in the works and the static display at the show features four hard points for weapons (laser-guided bombs, air-to-ground missiles, etc).
Another weapon on display, the Bateleur, was said to be a copy of the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey and is capable of vertical takeoff and landing. However, simply copying the V-22 Osprey would be a difficult endeavor, as that highly complex aircraft has been plagued with numerous problems during its lifetime.
This isn’t the first time that mimicry has struck Chinese aircraft design. China’s J-20 stealth fighter looks suspiciously similar to Northrop-Grumman and Lockheed Martin stealth fighter designs.
RE: Knockoff
"...still be work for us"?Ok, let me break this down for you. Defense spending is directly tied to R&D, which is (in turn) directly tied with how advanced our weapons systems are (relative to our counterparts). If we are hemorrhaging technology to our counterparts (read enemies and potential enemies) left and right, we end up having to spend money on defense at an increasingly faster rate in order to try and keep any "edge" over our said entities.To be fair, a technological edge isn't always required for victory. However, lack thereof is most often associate with overwhelming superiority of numbers (we have < 1/3 of China's population), and/or a willingness to accept tremendous amounts of casualties (which is certainly not the case, seeing as how averse we have become to the almost insignifant body-count of the past 11 years, compared to the body counts of Vietnam, WWII, or especially the US Civil War).Therefore, not only is the military being told to do more with less (as has been the case since at least WWII) but it is also being told that it has less and less room for friendly casualties at the same time.Bleeding out our military technology secrets to the Chinese isn't just a fringe effect, our technological advantage is THE last remaining advantage we truly have to bring to bear. Once we lose that, there will be no such thing as a "guaranteed" victory, no will there be adequate defense against foreign aggression on domestic US soil. Parent

U.S. Military Cuts Guantanamo Bay Wi-Fi After Alleged Threat by Anonymous

Anonymous launched a global online protest to mark the 100th day of the hunger strike by Guantanamo Bay prisoners
The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is losing all access to wireless internet and social networks due to hacking threats. U.S. military officials have blocked access to wireless internet and social networks like Facebook and Twitter at Guantanamo Bay because it fears that international hacking group Anonymous will launch an attack to disrupt services at the naval base.
Anonymous launched a global online protest to mark the 100th day of the hunger strike by Guantanamo Bay prisoners. The detainees have been protesting their living conditions and indefinite detention at the base. About 103 of the 166 prisoners are on strike.
The U.S. military said it has been receiving online hacking threats amid the hunger strike, which were allegedly from Anonymous. The hunger strike has captured a lot of attention on networks like Twitter and Facebook. Many, including human rights activist groups, are calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay.
The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a prison and interrogation facility placed within the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. It is ran by the U.S. military, and was established in 2002 by the Bush Administration to hold those connected with the Global War on Terror including Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa and Southeast Asia.

Aging loan program increasingly not used Associated Press | Updated: 11/04/2011 Resize text COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The words "natural disaster" often evoke vivid images of hurricanes and wildfires and the devastated landscapes they leave behind.
But 101 out of 114 counties in Missouri, including Boone County, have been federally designated as natural disaster areas as of Oct. 17, due to drought and excessive heat this summer.
"This sort of thing happens all the time," said Dan Gieseke, farm loan chief for the Farm Service Agency of Missouri.
The natural disaster designation gives farmers access to a special, low-interest emergency loan, but the aging loan program is increasingly under-used.
In 2011 alone, Boone County has been designated a natural disaster area four times by either President Barack Obama or U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
This year isn't exceptional. In four of the past five years, Boone County has received a natural disaster area designation at some point during the year.
Gieseke rattled off the official natural disasters the state has seen this year.
"Well, we had a blizzard in February, then flooding in the Missouri Bootheel, then more flooding along the Missouri River from the Gavins Point Dam (in South Dakota), then the drought," he said. "And now we're considering whether a hailstorm in August in northwestern Missouri qualifies, too."
The natural disaster designation allows farmers who have lost at least 30 percent of their crop yield to apply for low-interest emergency loans to cover damage. In order to qualify for the low interest rate, they must be unable to secure loans from private, conventional creditors, according to Mark Mudd, the Farm Service Agency loan officer for seven Missouri counties, including Boone and Callaway.
There is no requirement that the losses declared by farmers in a disaster area are the result of the disaster in question, Gieseke said. As long as producers live within a designated disaster area and can prove they lost 30 percent of their average crop yield, they can apply for a loan.
It is up to the Farm Service Agency to verify the losses. Many producers have crop insurance, and those companies keep yield records for their customers, so often verification is as simple as checking with the farmer's insurer. But those who don't have insurance turn in self-reported yield records, and Farm Service Agency officers must look at income tax returns and grain receipts to verify their reports.
Mudd said that as far as he knows, Boone County farmers haven't applied for one of these loans since the mid-1990s.
Emergency loans make up only a small percentage of total farm loans distributed each year, Gieseke said.
So far this year, for example, the Farm Service Agency has handed out 1,234 loans in Missouri, totaling over $184 million. Of those loans, six were emergency loans made available in natural disaster areas, totaling $265,290.
At the request of Gov. Jay Nixon, local committees called county emergency boards meet and produce an estimate of agricultural losses due to proposed natural disasters.
"They meet with some producers, take a tour of the county sometimes and see what they can see," Gieseke said. "It's very unscientific."
Boone County's emergency board consists of five members: Kim Viers, director of the Farm Service Agency in Boone County; Robert Hagedorn, a district conservationist for the Natural Resource Conservation Service; and three local farmers from different regions in the county who make up the Boone County Farm Service Agency Committee, Carol Riedel (northeast), David Grant (east-central) and Troy Douglas (northwest).
Based on its evaluations, the board comes up with an estimate of crop yield losses for Boone County.
Grant said farmers on the board evaluate the condition of the crops and grasses in their area, talk to other producers and try to keep in mind rainfall and temperature data.
"In the end, we give an opinion, really," he said.
The resulting damage estimates are sent to a state emergency board, which reviews them and sends them to the national Farm Service Agency in Washington, D.C. After another review, they are signed by Vilsack or the president.
Grant said most producers in the area would qualify for the required 30 percent crop loss this year, particularly those growing corn.
"Yeah, I'd feel pretty confident that in many places we've had as much as 40 to 50 percent decrease in corn production," he said. He estimated that his yields are down more than 30 percent.
But like many agricultural producers in the county, he has crop insurance and won't be applying for any emergency loans.
The low-interest nature of the emergency loans doesn't impress him.
"After all," he said, "a loan is still a loan," and producers will still be taking on debt.
Gieseke said the 3.75 percent interest rate of emergency loans isn't much lower than many other loans available to farmers through other Farm Service Agency programs or through private, local creditors.
A rising number of farmers covered by crop insurance has weakened the need for emergency loans.
Darrell Campbell, director of the Farm Service Agency in Callaway County, estimates 60 to 70 percent of Missouri's agricultural producers are covered by some form of insurance.
Campbell said the loan process itself acts as a deterrent. "There's too many bells and whistles to go through," he said, referring to the large amount of collateral that the emergency loan program requires.
The program, as it stands, has been in place since 1961, said Kent Politsch, chief of public affairs for the Farm Service Agency in Washington, D.C.
"We have records of disaster loans being available as early as 1918," he said. "It's a fairly old practice."
Even given its old age and what he acknowledged as a low level of use, Politsch doesn't believe the program has outgrown its use.
"I don't think it's ever outdated," he said. "Our purpose is to be a safety net."

The problem is in the details. It has to be declared a disaster area, we were hit by a tornado, in our county only three home sites were hit, all destroyed but since it wasn't a big enough percentage of the population no disaster proclaimed and hence no way to apply for a loan.

News round up: Freddie Mercury rumours; Frankenstein; KYD UK release date changed Dan rebuts Freddie Mercury Rumour
The internet has been abuzz with a recent rumour that Dan had been offered the role of Freddie Mercury in a biopic of his life. Dan spoke to Empire magazine during a recent interview and debunked the reports, saying ”There is no truth to it at all. It’s one of those very, very funny things: it came out of a story in the Daily Star and then you see newspapers like The Guardian using The Star as their source, and it grows and grows [until] it’s ‘Dan Radcliffe is playing Freddie Mercury!’, which I was never going to do. Everyone on the internet who I presume is saying I’m totally wrong for that part is correct. I AM completely wrong for that part!”
Dan went on to say that if he’d seen a rumour that he was playing Iggy Pop, he’d have thought it sounded like fun and would give it a go (not the first time he’s spoken about portraying the performer). (Featured photo credit: The Guardian)
Dan talks to Fear.net about Frankenstein
During his promotional duties at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, Dan spoke to FEARnet about his upcoming role as Igor in Paul McGuigan’s Frankenstein, scripted by Max Landis. Dan anticipates that Landis’s Igor will have a lot more depth than previous versions, and whilst he was unable to give away much about the film, he did say, ”It’s a wild script. It constantly surprises you and it’s great, great fun as well. The relationship between Igor and Victor is one of two young men at the absolute forefront of the technology of their day. Plus it’s a story about them pushing each other further, eventually having to make decisions about their relationship and their morality. I’m really excited about it and very excited to be working with James McAvoy as well.”
UK Kill Your Darlings release date pushed back
Previously scheduled for 8th November, Dan’s film Kill Your Darlings has now been rescheduled to a 6th December release, seven weeks after its UK premiere at the London Film Festival on 17th October (both performances are now sold out).

http://www.dartmouthsports.com/
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Dartmouth men’s golf team had a team total of 306 for the second straight day on Sunday to finish in a tie with St. Joesph’s (Pa.) for 14th at the Temple Invitational. The Big Green finished 50 shots off the pace set by tournament champion Hartford.
The two-day, 36-hole event was contested at the 6,670-yard par 70 North Course at Philmont Country Club and featured a field of 17 teams.
The Hawks scored a 15-stroke victory over second-place St. John’s. Cincinnati ended the weekend in third while Harvard, Seton Hall and the host Owls tied for fourth.
For the second day in a row, Scott Jaster was the low scorer for the Big Green, carding a one-over-par 71 to end in a tie for 24th.
Jeffrey Lang shot a closing round 74 to earn a share of 50th. Sean Fahey fired a 79 in the second round to finish in a three-way for 62nd.

India, Myanmar Seek Closer Ties With an Eye on China
Vivek Raghuvanshi
NEW DELHI — India and neighboring Myanmar are working on a roadmap of border management, a move seen by analysts here as an effort to check China’s entry into the Indian Ocean Region.“China already has a military base on leased land of Coco islands by Myanmar, but New Delhi wants to better military and diplomatic ties with Myanmar,” says Nitin Mehta, a defense analyst here.The matter was discussed during the Jan. 21-22 visit of Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony to Myanmar, said an Indian Defence Ministry official. Antony was accompanied by a high-level delegation, comprising Defence Secretary Shashikant Sharma; Lt. Gen D Suhag, general officer in charge of Indian Eastern Army Command; and Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice Adm. R. Dhowan.“Both sides [India and Myanmar] will discuss modalities for improving mechanisms for patrolling by their own forces along land and maritime boundaries in order to curb activities of insurgent groups and other illegal and criminal activities in these areas. Both sides are agreed that neither should allow their territory to be used for activities detrimental to the security of the other. Both countries have agreed to conduct periodic coordinated land and maritime patrols,” says the Indian Defence Ministry statement.India and Myanmar are also discussing ways to hold joint patrols along their border to check infiltration of insurgents into the northeastern states of India.“India has extended itself to having good relations with neighboring Myanmar to curb the growing influence of China in the region. Despite a military government in Myanmar for the last two decades, New Delhi has built diplomatic relations with Myanmar mainly with an eye on China,” says defense analyst Mahindra Singh, a retired Indian Army major general.Last year, days before a visit to New Delhi, Myanmar President Thein Sein announced the halting of a $3.6 billion proposed hydroelectric project in Kachin State to be jointly built with China, a move that irked Beijing.India and Myanmar, meanwhile, have also agreed to undertake a project to meet the energy requirements of Myanmar, a move seen as compensation for the loss of the proposed Chinese hydroelectric project, said an Indian Ministry of External Affairs source.

Need Help? Thomas Maccarone
College of Arts & Sciences, Department of Physics
Tom Maccarone is an associate professor in the Department of Physics, and part of the new initiative to expand the research in physics at Texas Tech into astrophysics.
He works across a broad range of topics in astronomy. His main research interests include:
understanding the processes by which gas falls into black holes and onto neutron stars, and how this leads to the emission of light from near these objects
understanding the evolution of binary star systems that contain black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs
understanding the formation of close binary star systems in dense star clusters and how these systems affect the dynamical evolution of star clusters
He earned his B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1996, and his Ph.D. in astronomy from Yale University in 2001. He then held postdoctoral fellowships at the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati in Trieste and at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. He then took a faculty position at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom in 2005, which he held before coming to Texas Tech in 2013.

The case of the flying Fred
By Larry Zirkle, P.E. Contributing writer7/22/2002 Post a comment
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to try a stunt like Evel Knievel, jumping a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon or a string of cars? Fred found out, but he didn't get to enjoy it very long.
Fred was headed West on a rural paved road late at night after having several drinks too many. Either not seeing or ignoring the stop sign, he went right through the intersection. The gravel road straight ahead was a downward slope, which would have caused control problems even without the gravel surface. Fred lost control of his flatbed pickup, running off the road to the right into a ditch and up an embankment.
He braked about 27 ft prior to hitting the embankment, going up and over and becoming airborne as he left the top. The embankment imparted a slight rotational velocity to the pickup. After traveling 40 ft, the truck was inclined at about 32� when the driver's side door hit a 12-inch-diameter wooden power pole and was knocked off. The pole was broken in two places. The pickup continued airborne for another 30 ft prior to hitting a 5-inch-diameter pecan tree, shearing it off. It was then airborne for another 30 ft prior to hitting the ground on a level 4.2 ft below the embankment, tumbling for another 46 ft prior to coming to rest. Fred had massive injuries and did not survive. We would like to know his speed prior to braking.
This is obviously a complex situation not allowing a detailed solution here, but it is interesting to outline a method that can be used to solve this problem. The airborne free-fall of a vehicle may be analyzed in many cases by considering the vehicle to be a point mass, and using the equations for ballistic trajectories given here:
X = V0 Cos0t and
Y = h + V0 Sin0t - 0.5 g t2
X and Y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates, U is the angle of departure, V0 is the initial velocity, h is the initial vertical position, g is the gravitational constant, and t is the time. In order to solve the trajectory equations, it is usually necessary to estimate one of the variables, usually the initial angle of the velocity vector. Since an estimate of the minimum speed may be obtained by using 45� for the initial angle, this is often done. In this case there are three such trajectories interrupted by impacts with the pole and the tree. This suggests that the problem could be analyzed in segments by working backwards as outlined below:
Calculate the work done by tumbling after ground impact, and set this equal to the kinetic energy after impact to determine the speed after ground impact. Use the speed after ground impact to determine the velocity prior to ground impact. This will be the velo-city at the end of the third trajectory. Calculate the energy required to fracture the pecan tree, and use this to determine the velocity just prior to tree impact. Use the trajectory equations to determine the velocity just after pole impact. Use the energy required to fracture the pole and crush the pick-up to determine the velocity prior to pole impact. Use the trajectory equations to determine the velocity when leaving the embankment. Use the work done by rolling friction and braking and the increase in potential energy when climbing the embankment to determine the initial velocity.
After making several simplifying assumptions, it is determined that the speed prior to braking was about 50 mph, perhaps less than you might have guessed. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5909 | {"url": "http://www.designnews.com/author.asp?section_id=1386&doc_id=218662", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.designnews.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:05:44Z", "digest": "sha1:R5NERZVDO3ZY3MJXGTQSS3JLD5Q6OT2J"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3492, 3492.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3492, 8956.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3492, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3492, 107.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3492, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3492, 258.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3492, 0.43919886]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3492, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3492, 0.14183892]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3492, 0.10548824]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3492, 0.0634355]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3492, 0.0634355]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3492, 0.03777619]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3492, 0.02245189]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3492, 0.03492516]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3492, 0.03920171]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3492, 0.01430615]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3492, 0.13018598]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3492, 0.43770492]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3492, 4.6]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3492, 4.95325702]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3492, 610.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 94, 0.0], [94, 291, 1.0], [291, 708, 1.0], [708, 1443, 1.0], [1443, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1795, 0.0], [1795, 1823, 0.0], [1823, 2483, 0.0], [2483, 3338, 1.0], [3338, 3492, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 94, 0.0], [94, 291, 0.0], [291, 708, 0.0], [708, 1443, 0.0], [1443, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1795, 0.0], [1795, 1823, 0.0], [1823, 2483, 0.0], [2483, 3338, 0.0], [3338, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 28, 6.0], [28, 94, 9.0], [94, 291, 40.0], [291, 708, 73.0], [708, 1443, 132.0], [1443, 1778, 58.0], [1778, 1795, 4.0], [1795, 1823, 7.0], [1823, 2483, 115.0], [2483, 3338, 141.0], [3338, 3492, 25.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 94, 0.11666667], [94, 291, 0.0], [291, 708, 0.0], [708, 1443, 0.02374302], [1443, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1795, 0.14285714], [1795, 1823, 0.25], [1823, 2483, 0.00464396], [2483, 3338, 0.0], [3338, 3492, 0.01324503]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 94, 0.0], [94, 291, 0.0], [291, 708, 0.0], [708, 1443, 0.0], [1443, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1795, 0.0], [1795, 1823, 0.0], [1823, 2483, 0.0], [2483, 3338, 0.0], [3338, 3492, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.07142857], [28, 94, 0.10606061], [94, 291, 0.03045685], [291, 708, 0.01199041], [708, 1443, 0.01088435], [1443, 1778, 0.00597015], [1778, 1795, 0.17647059], [1795, 1823, 0.10714286], [1823, 2483, 0.01212121], [2483, 3338, 0.00935673], [3338, 3492, 0.00649351]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3492, 0.16514611]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3492, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3492, 0.24834269]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3492, -42.08995811]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3492, 39.31457985]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3492, 0.106714]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3492, 32.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Monday May 28, 2012 8:38:46 PM good last slide, thanks
Monday May 28, 2012 4:06:52 PM i think each of these tools has a library that you can export to any of the other two, so you can use the best features of each tool for your design
Monday May 28, 2012 4:03:32 PM once i saw a video by maplesoft where they demo how a design would make a robot work, very neat!
Tuesday March 13, 2012 5:55:40 PM Thanks Jon and Alex.

Tuesday March 13, 2012 5:39:29 PM Love the comment about Wikipedia being down for the day! Slight taste of where we are/were heading!
Tuesday March 13, 2012 5:24:31 PM Big fan of the color coded compilers; really helps you keep track of things in longer programs.
Tuesday March 13, 2012 5:23:04 PM I have had issues with files being saved to locations that I (rushing and not paying attention to) have had trouble finding again. Minor hassle, but it does cost time.
Tuesday March 13, 2012 4:44:19 PM Actually, (now that I am reading the whole thing) it goes from Red to Yellow to Green to Yellow and back to Red?
Tuesday March 13, 2012 4:43:40 PM On Slide 15/16, why does the traffic light on Farm Road turn yellow before turning green?
Tuesday March 13, 2012 4:19:50 PM It seems like there was very little communications in the old days of programming.
Tuesday March 6, 2012 4:21:36 PM What is the opinion of the modeling tool scilab.com?, Thanks!
Friday February 24, 2012 12:12:59 PM Excellent presentation

John Foote
Friday February 3, 2012 5:24:18 PM What is the typical lifespan of programming tools in that MCU's seem to have shorter lifespans throught their respective manufacturers?
Thursday February 2, 2012 4:12:28 PM The idea with software development should always begin with "Hello world"...
pshackett
Thursday February 2, 2012 4:11:28 PM It mainly depends on your budget and how well you do your research on the best IDE.
Thursday February 2, 2012 4:10:56 PM There are many more IDE's from other companies that you have to pay for that are better and more complete.
Thursday February 2, 2012 4:10:16 PM Usually the development IDE with the MCU is the easiest to use.
Thursday February 2, 2012 3:45:49 PM another fine presentation.
Wednesday February 1, 2012 4:15:42 PM I currently use Win-AVR for my AVR development. Would really like to see more tools aimed at Mac OS X though. Seems many engineering companies are allowing engineers to switch.
Thursday January 19, 2012 10:50:39 AM good presentation. thanks, Jon!

Wednesday January 18, 2012 8:19:48 PM End of the day. I hope I answered most of the questions. Thanks for "tuning in." --Jon
Jon Titus
Wednesday January 18, 2012 8:07:26 PM Q: I have a question about third party and programmer tools (jtag programmers) . how can I make sure those tools work with third party development tools? I used link programmer ATMEL for AT9(ARM9) and didn't work with compiler (KEIL ) . how can we taker over this issues?A: The 3rd-party software suppliers want to control the hardware so they can update firmware and handle the PC-based drivers and JTAG connections. That makes sense and simplifies any "he-said she-said" situations where one company blames another for problems: "It's your pod that's the problem. No, it's your tools that cause the problem, etc..."As I noted in the seminar, avoid programming and debugging pods from Asia. I have read posts that describe compatibility problems with many of those pods. Do you want to stake your career on a few-hundred-dollar difference between a reputable vendor known in the industry and a cheap product from Asia you uncovered on ebay?Also, JTAG is not always JTAG between manufacturers. The IEEE 1149 JTAG standard uses signals for boundary-scan tests and in-circuit programming, but the MCU JTAG pods might not adhere to this standard. Don't assume because a pod has a "JTAG" interface it will work with all other JTAG devices.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:51:17 PM Q: Is model creation in the Maplesoft easy? Should you decide algorithm when you create model?
A: Maplesoft has some videos on its site that will answer your questions better than I can in a short answer at the end of a long day: http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maplesim/index.aspx. Watch the short video. If you're serious, request a live demonstration.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:39:27 PM Q: Will model tools produce MISRA C code?
A: I would bet they would because the auto industry makes use of these tools.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:38:23 PM @khan38 thanks. :) I guess autogenerated code would hardly be readable. This is not a nice thing.
franchzillaIRON
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:15:53 PM
I guess this slide answers part of my question. But is the code generated good? Or does it lack performance?
@franchzilla There is a way, I have done it once. but the code is almost undreadable.
A: Contact The Mathworks, National Instruments, and Maplesoft and ask for the C code for the same simple function. That will help you determine the "quality" of the code produced.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:36:47 PM test...
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:26:17 PM Q: Jon can you recommend a path/tool for the lone engineer working from a home lab?
A: It depends on what you want to do, but to start, the Arduino Uno, Digilent chipKIT Uno32, ARM mbed, and Parallax BASIC Stamp provide good ways to get a quick start without the headaches of configuring compilers, worrying about libraries, and so on. You can get a good start for under $150. Note the Parallax BASIC Stamps use the BASIC language, but that shouldn't discourage you from taking that route. Parallax has many good books, too. I hope this helps.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:22:57 PM Q: @jon: C vs. ASM: Given that in both cases you're working close to the hardware, I wonder how reusable is embedded C across MCU families, say from MSP430 to PIC?
A: Good question. There's no compatibility between hardware functions, but if you have an algorithm that simply processes data, you can likely move the code between processors. Lots of "gotcahs," though because, say one MCU has multiply hardware and the new target does not. You have a line of code:
test = alpha * temperature;
The new compiler will handle this situationus but you'll end up with more code and a longer processing time without the multiply hardware. It's not easy.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:16:42 PM Q: Have you actually used UML? Big spec.
A: I'm not sure whether you've asked me or the other "chatters" in general. Anyway, no, I have not used UML because I never got involved with a project large enough to justify using or learning it. See my answer below, too.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:14:04 PM Q: Jon, in all fairness to all the different techniques and tools, isn't it fair to say that all this these different approches can and should be used at different phases of the project? A: Good point! It depends on the people you work with, company policies about project development, budget, and so on. Some people will use model-based design only to tune algorithms and then create some C code they tune by hand. For others, they have a project flow that uses state-machine notations and separate teams use a seat-of-the-pants method. I just want people to know what's out there so they can investigate and find out what could work for them.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:11:18 PM Q: Please inform the name of the book on flow code?
A: Go to www.matrixmultimedia.com.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:09:38 PM Q: Mrs. Z... How reluctant of a beginner are you to get into C? I think that the K&R is the best C book ever, since it is concise, but it is so concise that it can be hard for non-programers/non-engineers to devour.
A: Try "Practical C Programming," by Steve Oualline, published by O'Reilly Media.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:07:50 PM Q: What learning tool, for us non-programmer (reluctant beginners) best addresses the differences and teaching of the MANY different addressing modes. Decision and control, interupt and pin handling not so bad ... but the addressing mechanisms are terribly confusing.
A: Addressing can get complicated in assembly language. It gets easier in C with the uses of pointers and pointer addresses. It's something you just have to experiment with and see the results. Take a look at the book, "Mastering C Pointers," by Robert J. Traister. It's available in a 2nd edition and I think you'll find it helpful. I still have the 1st edition in my library. You might find copies of the 1st edition available from second-hand book dealers on the Internet.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 7:02:50 PM Q: If using PICs and assembly only - any advantage going to MPLAB-X over MPLAB-IDE?
A: I haven't used all of the features of MPLAB X and no longer program in assembly language. But MPLAB X provides a nicer interface because it uses a standard Netbeans framework, it will be easy to update and for developers to extend it. Also, Microchip will not support new chips with older versions of MPLAB, so the "X" version is the way to go now so you're a step ahead.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:59:27 PM COMMENT: I appreciate the "thank you's" from participants and have enjoyed creating this series. --Jon
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:58:18 PM Q: which is better c or assemble language?
A: Better for what? Each has a place. Assembly language works with the hardware and gives you complete control over an MCU. But it's easy to get into trouble and it has a steep learning curve. If you want to move up a bit from the hardware and let C do a lot of the work, than go that route. Years ago I programmed in assembly language and loved it because I could use any instruction and do anything I wanted with a processor. But today I would not want to try assembly language on an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:55:41 PM Jon, thank you very much for useful information.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:54:02 PM Q: Jon, I don't know you're planning to talk about his in the real-time module. Question is what doyou think of QNX Momentics to develop C/C+ code for even basic MCU software?
A: I'm not familiar with the QNX Momentics software and the basic info doesn't explicitly say what ARM family the Momentics tools work with. Perhaps someone else can offer more information. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:49:12 PM Q: What source code control tools do you recommend?
A: Someone mentioned Subversion. Also look at GIT and Concurrent Version System (CVS)
http://git-scm.com/
http://cvs.nongnu.org/
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:46:52 PM Q: what is the tool in slide 23?
A: That's GRACE from Texas Instruments for the MSP430 family of MCUs.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:45:26 PM Q: Jon, I'm in that problem now with PIC24... and MPLAB X appears to have no chip configuragion Wizard. A: I talked with people at Microchip about a peripheral-device wizard and they said they do not have one. That's a shame because it can take a while to become familiar with the registers and bits needed to control a device. Microchip has good documentation and example code, but it's behind the times without a wizard. Maybe customers can apply some pressure.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:13:44 PM Q: Jon, what do the pods "emulate"?
A: Years ago microprocessor manufacturers created special (expensive) bonded-out chips that brought out signals not present at pins on the normal, commercial processors. The tool suppliers bought those chips and put them in pods that connected to a host computer and to the microprocessor socket on a board. The special chip would act like an MCU but also give the software tools extra information and control over the chip. In essence, it would "emulate" the chip that would eventually go in the socket. These days MCUs include debug capabilities, so emulator "pods" have disappeared. Today's pods provide the debug connections for testing software and loading flash memory with code and data from a host PC. The name "emulator" continues however, even though these pods no longer emulate a processor. It's a case of an obsolete name sticking to a product. Much like saying, "dial 212-555-0000." There are no longer dials on phones.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:07:25 PM Q: I worked for a while at an iOS development company, and the standard there was to eliminate comments...drove me crazy...never got a good reason why.
A: Maybe next your old employer would have eliminated programmers. Go figure. Who knows why companies do things.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:04:36 PM Q: Do most/all of the debug tools have a means to monitor MCU stack usage, stack overflows, max stack usage, etc.?
A: Well, you get what you pay for. The more-expensive tools include those types of capabilities, but don't expect them in every free or low-cost software package. You'll have to check the specs for the tools you might consider to ensure they do what you want. I doubt debuggers monitor the stack in real time, though. To estimate stack use, allocate a large amount of memory for the stack and fill it all with the same value, sau 0x55. After you run your program, look at the stack area and determine the extent of changes from 0x55. That will give you a first approximation of the amount of memory the stack used for that version of your code. I would add quite a bit of memory, though, to be on the safe side. I hope that helps.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:54:41 PM Q: I am designing a microcontroller for a space application. Can you suggest a reference on how to correct (SCRUB) memory to remove errors caused by radiation.
A: You'll need radiation-hardened memories and a rad-hardened MCU. Check with aerospace companies to find one that manufactures such devices. They are expensive due to a limited market and special processing needed to harden them against radiation. AMSAT has placed many small satellites into low-earth orbits, so you might find MCU-related info on the amsat.org site.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:49:09 PM @Jon: Thanks
Designer101
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:47:18 PM Q: Q: How would you use the model-based design approach in an embedded design that involves microcontroller ?
A: Here are a few links to more information that will explain it in more detail:
http://www.kerhuel.eu/wiki/Simulink_-_Embedded_Target_for_PIC
http://www.mathworks.com/programs/ti-piccolo.html
Check the Mathworks site, too. It's down for maintenance right now, so I could not use it to find anything for you.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:41:56 PM Q: Can NI's Multisim simulate msp430?
A: I don't know and the NI Web site is silent on this question. I'd call a local NI sales office and ask someone.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:40:27 PM Q: How would you use the model-based design approach in an embedded design that involves microcontroller ?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:35:53 PM Q: what is the benefit to use RTOS such as uC/OS II or III? Is it more complecate or overburden to make codes for small embedded applications? If so, what is the measure or reference to use or not an RTOS to develop an application? For e.g. code size or complexity or any other reasons to be developed application?
A: The complexity of a project and the number of "threads" or processes you need to run determine whether or not to use an OS or an RTOS. Ask Jack Gannsle this question in his sessions the week of January 29th. He can add some insight into when to use an OS. In the meantime, here's a good paper: http://www.netburner.com/downloads/embedded_projects/RtosVsInfiniteLoop.pdf. I hope this helps.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:31:28 PM Q: What are the chances that we burn the chips on dev boards becos of static in this winter season? Not everybody at home/hobbyists wear all the anti static gaurds.. right?
A: Good question! I always work on a static-dissipating mat on my lab bench and have a wrist strap with a solid ground connection. My mat is bright green. 3M sells many desktop mats such as this one: TM2436L1BL-L. You can find them from several suppliers. I live in Utah and it gets very dry during the winter--lots of static sparks, so a mat is mandatory. I recomment such a mat to everyone who works on electronic hardware. Why risk killing a project?

Wednesday January 18, 2012 5:24:28 PM Back from lunch...
Q: Jon What are your thoughts on the Ti Grace software?
A: I like it. It's specific to the TI MSP430 family and doesn't cover all of the '430 chips, but I'd bet TI will extend it to other MCUs. It just makes a lot of sense and it helps get programmers over the hurdle of setting up peripherals and I/O ports. That's no small matter for some MCUs.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 4:10:05 PM thanks all you made my day
kenstan
Wednesday January 18, 2012 4:06:03 PM See what you mean. VMs run in isolated level and nothing should just come out. I didn'thave any issues on this way but as you said you never know. Backups, backups ..
gregorf
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:58:26 PM You're missing the point. Even if there were some solid ant-virus software for the Mac (maybe there is, maybe there isn't), what is really needed here is a comprehensive anti-virus solution that operates between both platforms, to make sure a virus can't get in on one side (in my example, the Mac side), and execute on the other.
Tenacious Techhunter
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:54:33 PM i use antivirus SW on VMs as well. Then is the same as to have standalone PC .. virus can kill it too. But is quite easy to backup whole VM image and revert to one of old ones if something happens.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:52:19 PM I intend to avoid exposing my computer to those problems.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:50:14 PM Macs are immune to PC targeted viruses, but the second a Windows installation starts up, virus city.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:48:55 PM tantilo, Jon is at lunch just now. Wait until he comes back. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:48:39 PM The problem when you do that, though, is that if your Mac OS gets a virus, it can be executed on Windows. Which also may (likely will) contaminate your Mac installation. It's not really safe, gregorf.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:48:18 PM Jon What are your thoughts on the Ti Grace software?
tantilo
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:44:15 PM PC vs Mac .. workaround is to use VirtualBox or similar SW, install extra Win XP as VM, install needed IDE tools, bridge USB port over and things works. I used to evaluate some MSPs on this way on PC box but there should nto be any diff on Mac. There are just probably small drawbacks (performance, latency, ...) but is usefull to some level.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:43:19 PM tantilo, you're asking yourself a question? XD
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:42:31 PM tantilo, What are your thoughts on the Ti Grace software?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:37:48 PM Alaskaman66, I would generally avoid trying to detect hardware failure with software. Use hardware to detect a hardware failure, and have that communicate with the microcontroller.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:36:00 PM Jon, thanks for the Q&A session too... looking forward for tomorrow's lecture.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:34:52 PM Alaskaman66, the trickier part is isolating the potential short from the CPU so the CPU doesn't fail. You need to be able to safely detect the short. At that point, you probably want an interrupt to go off, to indicate that a short has occurred, and the circuit is no longer valid for execution.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:32:57 PM That is OK. I am just posting my experience and sharing it. It may help someone.
jsh
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:32:49 PM Have a good lunch! And thank you for the lecture!
agraybill
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:32:43 PM @Tenacious Techhunter - I went to the Clang site yesterday after someone (you?) mentioned it. Looks attractive. It will go onto my IDE DVD for future consideration.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:32:26 PM What are the chances that we burn the chips on dev boards becos of static in this winter season? Not everybody at home/hobbyists wear all the anti static gaurds.. right?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:32:06 PM How I would have done the HP job better is to use pulse width modulation to control the heating element. When the chip halts, the pulse width should stop, and so the heating element should turn off.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:31:28 PM Thanks much Jon
KevinJam
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:31:01 PM Taking a break for lunch. Back later to answer other questions. Thank you all. On to Session 4 tomorrow.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:30:45 PM jsh, that's fine for a business, but lousy for individuals. I have no interest in this line of discussion.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:30:04 PM Techhunter: here's another example I wish to try sometime..Build a glow plug controller for a diesel engine. The MCU will drive a solid state relay. If the relay fails shorted, could one devise a way to inform the driver with appropriate code and sensors?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:29:57 PM Q: @Jon - worth a mention to remind folks to check mfg errata. it can happen that code can break due to a mfgr issue that might follow a particular die rev.
A: Good point. I know TI had some problems with the Code Composer Studio debug. The breakpoints did not always stop at the proper place. Since resolved, I think.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:29:46 PM For people interested in an all-in-one IDE, Clang is an LLVM based GCC replacement. It can support multiple chip architectures with the same "GCC", and thus, may become the basis of an all-encompassing IDE in the future.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:29:34 PM Correction. No Mac IDE we liked and wanted to use.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:29:06 PM Now all of it is compiled on a PC. jsh
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:28:39 PM It was for us. There was a chip we wanted, no Mac IDE, so we used a PC.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:28:27 PM what is the benefit to use RTOS such as uC/OS II or III? Is it more complecate or overburden to make codes for small embedded applications? If so, what is the measure or reference to use or not an RTOS to develop an application? For e.g. code size or complexity or any other reasons to be developed application?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:27:59 PM Q: @Jon - re: IDE's ... too bad some genius programmer hasn't produced an open source IDE that encompasses most of the major families, PIC, ARM, AVR, TI's chips. OTOH, I would guess setting it up would be as tedious as setting up Eclipse for GCC Arms.
A: Yes, that's why I gave up on GCC a while ago.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:27:59 PM I'm not going to buy two computers my entire life just to get work done.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:27:36 PM It isn't cheaper buying another computer. :P
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:27:24 PM Q: Hey guys - why not get Jon a color printer? (Ha! Ha!)
A: I have one, but it is sooooo slow. Would you like my UPS shipping address? ;-)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:27:23 PM kenstan, use the most convenient language that suits your application on the chip you need to use. C will allow you a wider range of chips, but if you are only interested in big chips like ARM CPUs, you might as well use c plus plus, if you prefer it.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:26:58 PM @Jon - re: IDE's ... too bad some genius programmer hasn't produced an open source IDE that encompasses most of the major families, PIC, ARM, AVR, TI's chips. OTOH, I would guess setting it up would be as tedious as setting up Eclipse for GCC Arms.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:26:52 PM I'm not. I had a similar problem. It was cheaper and easier to buy a PC.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:25:59 PM Techhunter: Constrain the output perhaps with a watchdog timer? Certainly I would include a thermal fuse in the design an an absolute backup, and write code to announce if it opened.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:25:38 PM jsh, this isn't the place to start a flame war. Please take that outside.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:25:37 PM c or c+ which is better?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:24:58 PM Buy a PC.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:24:38 PM Q: What would be the best *free* / really cheap software & hardware for me to gain some skills at home? (I'm not a programmer type, trying to expand the horizons)
A: There are some online C compilers so you can try some code and see what happens.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:24:03 PM I've been bitten by that before... >_<
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:23:48 PM Jon, that strategy doesn't work too well if you need a Mac IDE. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:23:43 PM Q: how do we downlod the chat for later review
A: The chat will become part of the archived materials.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:23:14 PM @Tenacious TechhunterMaybe the parts but not the circuit. Two pins could short out no matter what circuit you use.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:22:47 PM Q: @Jon - Your specific recommendations for IDE's (by chip mfg & chip family)? Is a place to see comparisons? I have a DVD full of various free and eval copies of IDE's - in addition to the Visual Studio versions I use in the day job.
A: I don't know of any comparison sites. Usually people choose the MCU first and go with the tools available for it rather than vice versa.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:22:33 PM MPLAB X uses NetBeans for the IDE and is likely using GCC for the compilers, though I'm not certain.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:21:23 PM Q: Can anyone recommend a good opensource IDE for PIC?
A: If you mean the creator of the IDE used open-source, I believe the MPLAB X uses NetBeans, so you can easily create add-ons. If you mean an IDE for open-source development tools for a PIC, visit: http://gputils.sourceforge.net/.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:20:40 PM But yeah, that is not necessarily an example of bad code, if the circuit itself clearly should have been better.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:19:46 PM Clearly, it was not designed to fail safely at enough levels.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:19:26 PM Deitel...can be longwinded, but that is my personal view...If you go to Amazon...read the reviews
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:19:05 PM Alaskaman66, it is better to safely constrain the output than to try and figure out all the inputs. Of course, the HP example may be more about the chip being shorted out, which means the board level design may be partly to blame. And if that was the case, the rest of the circuit should have cut the heating on account of no CPU response. I suspect that unit had more problems than just corroded keys!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:18:55 PM I consider 430's user guide as a great resouce.. notice that user guide is different from data sheet.. it is free to d/l on ti.com
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:17:49 PM www.43oh.com is another great reference... DavidG_or
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:17:12 PM There is alot of stuff out for the 430s. Groups, wikis and communities on the net. Search google and you will find alot.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:17:03 PM MSP430 Microcontroller Basics free ebook is here

By John Davies & John H. Davies
is the best for you. slk
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:15:45 PM msp430 also has a yahoo group with lot of activity.. see if you can join it..
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:15:43 PM Q: Question on software design: what about dealing with failure modes? I remember reading HP built a labware heater that could catch fire. Turned out the keypad had corroded so two keys were activated at once while the unit was in the heating mode. The progran simply halted.
A: You strive to prevent that sort of action. Always assume someone will do something wrong, press two keys at a time, not read a display message, etc. You can't prevent every type of failure, though. Obviously the heater should have had a simple overheat sensor that would kill power if it ran "too hot" for a period of, say 1 minute.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:15:28 PM They are in stock now at ti.com. But max order of 3 pcs. They must be in demand. At 4.30 I guess I can see why.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:15:22 PM is there any difference b rt c and c+ in MCu programing?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:13:23 PM cprogramming.com and text C+ Primer Plus (text)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:13:23 PM John Davies for msp430 is not bad..good reference.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:13:04 PM Q: john davis msp430 programming from amazon is one for msp430..any other resouce better than this?
A: None I know of. The David book got good reviews on Amazon.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:12:50 PM O'Reilly books get good reviews.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:12:29 PM Can NI's Multisim simulate msp430?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:12:13 PM A good tutorial for MSP430 is here: http://mspsci.blogspot.com/ This goes into many of the features of the MSP430s included with the Launchpad and is very thorough.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:11:50 PM @jsh, TI was out of stock last time sop Iordered from mouser
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:11:26 PM My Grades show 0 even though I attended 3 sessions so far
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:11:05 PM check out:
http://thenewboston.org/tutorials.php
for several video tutorials on programming and other stuff
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:10:54 PM Alaskaman66, it depends on the simulator, and your settings for it, though I have little experience with them. Ultimately, you may be able to get your simulator to run in real time if you sacrifice some features. But more importantly is to be able to debug from the boards.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:10:54 PM @DavidG Thanks! I didn't know that. @farebrog Order direct from ti.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:10:10 PM Question on software design: what about dealing with failure modes? I remember reading HP built a labware heater that could catch fire. Turned out the keypad had corroded so two keys were activated at once while the unit was in the heating mode. The progran simply halted.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:09:23 PM Q: It's been a LONG time since I had a C+ class... Any basic tutorials you would recommend?
A: I'm not a C programmer, so I can't relate any experience, I'd check C books on Amazon and find one that got good reviews. Read the reviews, too. Google has some courses of its own and I'd bet you can find other online courses, too. Let me know how you make out.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:09:21 PM for a space application, shield, grounds, and short traces on the pcb are important.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:09:16 PM the Launchpad from TI is a newer version than the distributors have in stock right now.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:08:34 PM Grades or points in the course, are available on top of this page as My Grades hyperlink.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:08:27 PM Alaskaman66, reentrant code means that, when that piece of code gets interrupted, it will resume correctly after the interrupt. You have to build your code very carefully to make that happen!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:08:14 PM @dplmark Not that I can disclose.:P
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:37 PM But currently, I build my .hex files and write them using AS 5
kenm
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:32 PM dpimark, the best solution is to shield the board. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:16 PM If you are learning about uC or you are evaluating get samples with different characteristics, perifrials(sp) ect.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:16 PM Also, getting additional chips to use with the launchpad can allow use of different peripherals than are included in the kit. (The new launchpads are shipping with 20 pin chips that are larger than the original 14s)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:09 PM Thanks, Techhunter. I've been thinking that code emulators may not run a t real world speeds, especially if you have an older computer. Then the application fails to work properly in the real world.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:07:08 PM Also, in XCode you can just setup the AVR toolchain...there are a few examples out there....it works pretty well.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:06:35 PM I am designing a microcontroller for a space application. Can you suggest a reference on how to correct (SCRUB) memory to remove errors caused by radiation.
dplmark
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:06:31 PM register with TI and get free samples.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:06:22 PM Thanks for the lead, kenm. You may also want to try out MPLAB X for PICs.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:06:03 PM Q: Jon, would you consider an application that requires real time response in a fast changing environment to need more advanced software than some application that simply waits for an input and performs an output - like enabling a heater? Especially if the real time application could outpace the MCU?
A: Yes, you might need a small scheduler to handle the tasks. If the tasks outpace an MCU, you'll need a faster MCU or perhaps you can divide tasks between two MCUs and have a simple communication link (UART) transfer information between them. There are some small operating systems available for MCUs, so if you need more info, a Google search should find more information for you.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:05:49 PM Yes it does come with 2 chips. I used them and needed more.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:04:43 PM launchpad is coming with 2 chips
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:04:14 PM How do we get the cerificates for the class?
Bill Rider
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:04:13 PM Microchip also has free samples, but you do need to get a programmer. Pickkit2/3 are not bad, and relativly inexpensive
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:03:56 PM Use crosspack now..before XCode 4 there was a project file you could set in your project preferences...but check out crosspack.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:03:55 PM when you get free ti samples for the launchpad, make sure you get the DIP chips to use with the launchpad.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:03:13 PM It's been a LONG time since I had a C+ class... Any basic tutorials you would recommend?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:03:09 PM @jsh - thanks for reminding us about free samples (from TI for the Launchpad). Excellent suggestion.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:03:03 PM Q: there are a lot of good information in the chat session. Is there a way that we can access these chat session later? Are they made available along with the previous presentation?
A: As far as I know, the chat session is part of the archived information, although I will not monitor it often.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:57 PM kenm, how are you programing AVR in XCode?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:54 PM Youll have to register then request free samples. You will still need the lauchpad to program.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:50 PM Most of the tools have some kind of trial/demo versions that work except for limitted code size/ or devices supported. That is a good way to see what is available.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:36 PM @franchzilla: ti.com and then sample and buy up top
s.schmiedl
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:36 PM @jsh thanks
franchzilla
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:30 PM Alaskaman66, with that sort of real-time, your biggest problems may be how reentrant your code is... which is more a matter of how intelligently you built the code, than how advanced it is.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:18 PM www.ti.com
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:02:09 PM Sorry...meant program AVR in XCode
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:01:53 PM Migrating to AVR from PIC mainly because I can program PICs in XCode...all my stuff are iOS hardware accessories
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:01:31 PM @jsh do you have a link where I can see those free samples?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:00:58 PM Mac tools for AVR are hard to install/compile. Same with ARM tools, though there is the occasional IDE that may suit your needs, like YAGARTO or mbed. I'm using MPLAB X at the moment.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:00:52 PM @franchzilla Yes get 2 but get some more free samples of chips the launch pad supports too. Why not they are free?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:00:43 PM Jon, would you consider an application that requires real time response in a fast changing environment to need more advanced software than some application that simply waits for an input and performs an output - like enabling a heater? Especially if the real time application could outpace the MCU?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:00:36 PM It looks like the StateCharts are best if you all ready have some code blocked out. Is that right?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 3:00:24 PM Q: What kind of tools / softwares you recommend for GUI development forr Embedded systems?
A: Some of the MCU development tools include a GUI package. It can be a challenge, though, because much depends on the display you use--size of the display, color or b/w, necessary graphics and fonts, etc. You might take a look at the tools from Amulet that help you create a GUI on an LCD. Good for prototypes and short runs. Amulet has goof tools for GUI creation on its LCDs.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:59:59 PM I'm migrating from PIC16 to AVR right now.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:59:36 PM Can anyone recommend a good opensource IDE for PIC?
ebloohm
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:59:16 PM franchzilla: get 2 :-)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:59:13 PM Has anyone worked with both AVR and some other family like PIC? I'm curious what you think.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:48 PM And if you do continue to more advanced things the code ports to higher MSP devices (but you have to buy a different programmer). That is what I did and It was a great way to get my feet wet.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:48 PM @farebrog - Thanks.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:33 PM You are making me think seriously about buying LaunchPad. Five dollars won't hurt my wallet.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:26 PM snandu13, if you want to do iPhone, XCode is free. If you want to do other things, and you can afford it, you want InflexionUI, by Mentor Graphics.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:23 PM @Mrs. Launchpad is cheaper than a sandwich!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:21 PM @Jon - Your specific recommendations for IDE's (by chip mfg & chip family)? Is a place to see comparisons? I have a DVD full of various free and eval copies of IDE's - in addition to the Visual Studio versions I use in the day job.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:58:17 PM Most of my experience is with AVR. If you're designing the hardware and software (e.g., breadboarding something at home), that's a good family to start with. The development environment is free and the chips are as cheap and varied as others.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:57:14 PM I prefer the Launchpad.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:57:02 PM Q: Thanks Jon.
I would like to suggest the following changes to the course:
1) Position slide page numbers so that they can be seen.
2) Add hyperlinks to referenced web sites and vendors within the presentation.
3) Add any additional comments or correntions to the slides in the archive so that key points or errors found during the presentation can be corrected and we can download the updated presentation file.
Hope these comments help.
A: Good ideas. Thank you!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:56:49 PM Yes, Arduino for sure as an easy, relatively inexpensive introduction. However, if you're going to do serious hardware design, you're going to need to go beyond Arduino
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:56:42 PM @Mrs. Z I don't knwo about hardware, because I used a dev kit made by my university. But we used Keil's uVision free version (code space limited) and it was quite nice and intuitive.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:56:23 PM Mrs. Z: Arduino or MSP launchpad

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:55:28 PM What would be the best *free* / really cheap software & hardware for me to gain some skills at home? (I'm not a programmer type, trying to expand the horizons)
Mrs. Z
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:55:04 PM Q: How can we choose IDE tools to work with third party development tools?
A: The 3rd-party tools include the IDE, so not to worry.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:55:01 PM Thanks for the excellent presentation.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:46 PM I second horriyatm question.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:24 PM good presentation today, thanks
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:24 PM Any idea where we can direct question about the CEC grading?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:24 PM Q: After regaining my composure, optimizers can change code such that it does not work as one would expect, especially writing internal debuggers. Atmel IDE allows one to turn OFF the optimizer thus building code that I design, not the machine.
A: That's true. I recommend people first run their "unoptimized" code before they try to optimize it. That's for raising that point.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:23 PM Great lecture..Thank you Jon
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:54:10 PM great session .. thanks
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:52 PM Thank you Mr. JON.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:41 PM thanks alex and jon, great presentation. anxiously waiting for tomorrow.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:40 PM so which is ur best advice for software
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:33 PM Thank you !!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:33 PM Thanks John
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:53:11 PM I think all of my doubts were answered. That's great. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:52:32 PM After regaining my composure, optimizers can change code such that it does not work as one would expect, especially writing internal debuggers. Atmel IDE allows one to turn OFF the optimizer thus building code that I design, not the machine.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:51:50 PM thanks for an interesting lecture
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:51:23 PM Excellent presentation, thanks Jon, Thanks for naming the reference books side by side
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:51:16 PM Thanks Jon, excellent lecture.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:51:03 PM Thanks John FrankBishop
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:50:44 PM ANSI C is just a language specification. you would need to find the appropriate compiler implementation for your chosen device
shenry
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:50:30 PM And if it doesn't, DON'T USE THAT.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:50:29 PM THanks Jon - Excellent presentation
ebrown@baemr.com
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:50:19 PM Thanks again, Jon. Excited for the debugging portion of this course!
KateEngenity
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:50:18 PM kenstan, ANSI C works EVERYWHERE.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:49:55 PM True, shenry, just making a point that you shouldn't limit yourself to it.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:49:49 PM Excellent presentation, thanks
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:49:33 PM shenry thanks but would ANSI C, fit in well for atmel mcu
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:49:19 PM Ten Techhunter, True about ANSI C, but if you learnt he very basics of the lang, you can apply it to everything. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:48:41 PM good Conference mr titus.
juanmantovar
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:48:28 PM Thanks for all the info
bgriffin
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:48:15 PM ANSI C isn't necessarily that great, since it doesn't support Fixed Precision types.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:48:03 PM thanks all, any economic option from Microchip?
LeoVargas
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:59 PM @jsh - Yep! Shipping included.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:41 PM Thanks Jon.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:39 PM Very good. Thanks again.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:29 PM Do most/all of the debug tools have a means to monitor MCU stack usage, stack overflows, max stack usage, etc.?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:29 PM Code developed on a lauchpad is portable to other MSP430s.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:47:15 PM Jon:
thanks for your generousity in sharing your knowledge
laxman99
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:55 PM beautiful how you presented the different steps involved for overall projects
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:44 PM Great presentation. Thanks Jon!

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:32 PM @tcryat Was shipping included in the 4.30?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:29 PM Jon, Great lecture. Thanks. Ramiro99
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:28 PM kenstan, I hate to say this, but do a google search for tutorials on C. I would focus on learning ANSI C, rather than a specialized version of C. The PIC MCC18 C compiler is very close to ANSI C, which is why I prefer it over some of the duino style languages. An easy way to start out with C and embedded devices is to get an embedded dev board that has some C example code. I like this one: http://www.modtronix.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_36&products_id=149 because it has a network interface and doesn't require specialized programming hardware as the firmware can be compiled and the uploaded to the device.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:27 PM thank's Jon ... very good references about book's
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:21 PM Great information, thank you for presenting
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:17 PM Is there a DesignEast?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:46:03 PM there are a lot of good information in the chat session. Is there a way that we can access these chat session later? Are they made available along with the previous presentation?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:59 PM Good informative presentation
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:55 PM optimizers suck!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:44 PM @LeoVargas- Sure Launchpad is a great place to start.. economic too.. but may be you have to move to advanced chip in a while...430 is a big family..can jump to anything higher.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:35 PM Thank you for the presentation.
microdesign2012
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:31 PM Yes the cheap makes it great.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:27 PM Just ordered 3 Launchpad Kits from TI. $4.30 each and they ship via FedEx !!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:24 PM thanks Jon
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:20 PM Great lecture, Jon. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:13 PM thank you, Jon.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:45:00 PM good presentation thank you
khan38
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:57 PM thank for the lecture
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:45 PM Launchpad is not bad and cheap
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:41 PM Very good presentation, thank you very much!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:35 PM Thank you
Greekeng
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:31 PM Thanks, Jon. I appreciate it.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:29 PM Launchpad is a great way to start.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:44:12 PM Code exists to let humans communicate to machines as well, and the most efficient way is via assembly. HLLs are more human readable and compact, but they suboptimize.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:57 PM Will there be an embeded systems show in Chicago this year again?
BillTh
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:49 PM modkit for arduino
lglira
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:49 PM @Jon - worth a mention to remind folks to check mfg errata. it can happen that code can break due to a mfgr issue that might follow a particular die rev
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:41 PM kenstan, get an Arduino. Great embedded board for learning C. You can get one at Microcenter for $20.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:35 PM I worked for a while at an iOS development company, and the standard there was to eliminate comments...drove me crazy...never got a good reason why.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:33 PM What about Launchpad from TI? is a good way to start?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:32 PM avoid write-only code
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:19 PM Netrino has an excellent C coding standard as well.
steve@HA
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:43:17 PM @kenstan do you want to learn general C or specifically to embedded systems?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:48 PM i have used it for mobile apps and found it difficult to code
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:45 PM Guys! CODE EXISTS FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO READ! If it was about communicating with the machine, we'd just use assembly!
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:39 PM john davis msp430 programming from amazon is one for msp430..any other resouce better than this?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:30 PM shenry how can one get started in c
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:29 PM I like comments and simpler code also
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:42:09 PM any ideas on how to master eclipse
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:41:55 PM is there any access to ESC Conference papers through web?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:41:25 PM Eclipse is just wayyyy too complicated. It's a great, versatile environment for experienced users, but it's hard to get used to how it works.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:40:32 PM Jon, what do the pods "emulate"?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:40:20 PM tcryar, it is not enough for it to run on Linux. Linux software doesn't run verbatim on Mac, it needs to be ported. The executable format is not the same, for one.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:40:17 PM grace also support msp430gxx, just saw it a few minutes ago.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:39:46 PM I used Eclipse in the past and found the debugger excellent but would not recommend it for beginners. I found it a bit complicated
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:39:06 PM Re: IDE's for Mac -
TI's CCS "Code Composer Studio supports running on both Windows and Linux PCs."
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:39:02 PM Arduino is great for beginners and simple applications, but you will not get the best performance out of the chip.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:38:55 PM Grace is limited to MSP430F2xx families. would be nice if TI opened Grace up to all 430 families
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:38:25 PM kensten, depends on what you want to do. I use C with some assembly (for stuff C can't access) when I work on the PIC 18 series of chips. I find C to be easier to read and faster to develop and debug. I move between projects a lot and sometimes will come back to a project source code after a month or two. By having the code in C, I can read it real easy and refamiliarize myself with it easier than assembly. Plus, I use C & java on mac/windows/linux for other work so it makes the learning curve easier.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:38:13 PM Eclipse uses GCC. GCC has no IDE, Eclipse just builds an IDE around GCC.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:38:08 PM I have a question about third party and programmer tools (jtag programmers) . how can I make sure those tools work with third party development tools? I used link programmer ATMEL for AT9(ARM9) and didn't work with compiler (KEIL ) . how can we taker over this issues?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:38:02 PM grace is already in ccs_v5 from TI
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:55 PM The Arduino IDE is outstanding for begginers.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:51 PM Tenacious Techhunter: Thanx - very good point!
mdsmdsmd
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:49 PM @slk: yes, but some families are VERY large, like Atmel AVR. They all use the same RISC instr set, but not all chips implement all instructions (like multiply).
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:37 PM Jon, I'm in that problem now with PIC24... and MPLAB X appears to have no chip configuragion Wizard. >_<
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:23 PM @JON, can you give us some points of view about Eclipse IDE and GCC ?.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:37:10 PM We have been using subversion for source code management and its
popular and cheap
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:36:50 PM Grace
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:36:29 PM what is the tool in slide 23?
kketterer
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:36:14 PM in asm you are tied to one part or fam of chips.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:36:01 PM What source code control tools do you recommend?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:59 PM Jon, I don't know you're planning to talk about his in the real-time module. Question is what doyou think of QNX Momentics to develop C/C+ code for even basic MCU software?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:57 PM mdsmdsmd, you should also know that new chips will be supported in MPLAB X only, so you might as well get used to it.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:51 PM Here is some sample working aurduino code
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("hello, world!");
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis()/1000);
to see what it looks like
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:34 PM @kenstan: it depends upon your application.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:27 PM Checkout SparkFun for a lot of Arduino stuff...they're a few miles from where I live and have lots of hands on courses
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:20 PM Also, don't bother using Wine or Wine Bottler, if the IDE uses .NET 2.0 libraries.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:09 PM yes but you can do the changes much easier. but i like asm.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:35:03 PM Thanks for the info
newtechengineering
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:34:57 PM which is better c or assemble language?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:34:17 PM It's true that there are a lot of gcc-based ports that MAY work, but the Mac ports can be very hit-or-miss, require a package manager such as MacPorts or Fink, and may not be well updated.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:34:04 PM Also, you can program Atmel parts in XCode with CrossPack.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:33:56 PM You'll likely find that C is not portable either, because you still have to program interrupt processing which varies across families (for example).
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:33:31 PM The MikroElectronica is great for low to mid level apps and is great for programming and has libraries but I have not done much for debbugging. (I simulate as I write)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:33:17 PM You could start with Arduino using Atmel parts to get up to speed and prototype, then move to AVRStudio 5.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:33:15 PM cnorton, here are your options so far (that I know of, but I've done my homework as much as possible):
MPLAB X
The mBed board, which has a web-based IDE
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:32:58 PM That's a great idea - virtual machines
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:32:43 PM the only problem of asm language is the portability. slk
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:32:03 PM I know of some people who do thier development inside virtual machines
providing a means to backup and save not only the source code but the current version of the IDE and
installed components, etc to provide this ability to open up the project 2 or 3 years down the road and ensure all the pieces are thier
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:31:59 PM I'm only PC-based so MAC-ability does nothing for me
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:31:49 PM Looking for imput from others on desired software for low to mid level applications that they feel offers the best all round modules such as ease of use and debugging ect.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:31:45 PM I think C is much easier than asm. If you are learning then there probably isnt anything you need to do that you cant in C.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:31:17 PM Suggestions for tools that run on a Mac as the host? Do any of these tools have Mac version?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:30:35 PM mdsmdsmd, you can run MPLAB X on a Mac. Therefore, MPLAB X is INFINITELY superior to any other MPLAB, which doesn't. :)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:30:00 PM One disappointment I had when I went from asm programming to C programming is that C isn't THAT much easier than asm. And there were some things I could only do in asm.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:29:35 PM If using PICs and assembly only - any advantage going to MPLAB-X over MPLAB-IDE?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:29:20 PM Kate, MPLAB X doesn't have a wizard for configuring the chip, does it?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:29:20 PM Agreed, in this respect, coding is a craft. Previous languages you already know?
dmafackler
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:28:59 PM @kketterer - try Tanenbaum
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:28:34 PM Assembly language is often necessary to get at chip-specific capabilities too.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:28:29 PM I don't know.... I don't use the Pro version of HiTech C compiler
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:28:27 PM We use mikroElectronica and MPlab almost exclusively at work. They work great. MicroElectroinica has lots of libraries andI would recomend it for someone learning. My supervisor taught himself that way.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:28:18 PM @Mrs. Z: find a local community to which you can talk. Failing that, find some online community. Best way of learning by doing.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:27:56 PM I agree that MPLAB X is better, only because there was no Mac version previously. ANY IDE is better than none. ;)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:27:43 PM Does MPLAB X support HiTech C Pro yet?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:27:33 PM What learning tool, for us non-programmer (reluctant beginners) best addresses the differences and teaching of the MANY different addressing modes. Decision and control, interupt and pin handling not so bad ... but the addressing mechanisms are terribly confusing.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:26:59 PM MPLAB X is much better than the old MPLAB IDE KateEngenity
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:26:49 PM radio keeps announcing and blocking out speaker. Is there a way to stop this?
Rdattner
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:26:44 PM Reluctant: took minimum programming in eng school. Really useful to know for my current job. I want to play with software / hardware at home, expand the horizons. I never had a good professor, never really caught on that well.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:26:43 PM AVRStudio 5 for Atmel/AVr also.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:26:33 PM Jalliac, K&R is good for learning C for anything, since C is a language available on so many platforms. But again, the challenge for C newbies with the K&R is that it is extremely brief.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:24:58 PM Mrs. Z... How reluctant of a beginner are you to get into C? I think that the K&R is the best C book ever, since it is concise, but it is so concise that it can be hard for non-programers/non-engineers to devour.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:24:46 PM Please inform the name of the book on flow code?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:24:40 PM K&R is the best start in C for any applications
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:23:53 PM Is K&R good for learning C for MCU applications?
jalliac
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:23:07 PM The inefficiency stems from the machine not being able to take in the whole context of the application. I'm sure the efficiency is highly variable, depending upon the problem. The upside is that it's easier to maintain when changes are necessary. Plus, the auto-generated code is likely higher quality (fewer bugs in the code itself).
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:43 PM I have heard that auto-generated code tends to work very well for the test cases for which it was built, but tends to be lousy for other cases.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:41 PM Any tips out there for C programming texts, for a reluctant beginner??
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:38 PM or UMLet, very convenient for quick UML sketches
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:37 PM has free version too
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:12 PM Jon, in all fairness to all the different techniques and tools, isn't it fair to say that all this these different approches can and should be used at different phases of the project? luizcosta
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:22:03 PM I prefer Labview
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:21:49 PM for UML , check this one : http://www.visual-paradigm.com/product/vpuml/editions/community.jsp
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:21:42 PM Have you actually used UML?
Big spec.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:21:18 PM I think no matter which tools you use
Modularizing your application with lots of smaller subroutines/methods/functions helps with code reuse and code readability
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:21:07 PM @caa028: that's my impression too; the code may work, but it may be woefully inefficient.
mike_rossiter
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:20:56 PM And autogenerated code can be very efficient for the pieces, but not the best overall.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:20:44 PM Matlab also incorporates a state chart tool
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:20:40 PM @s.schmiedl I guess that some adaptation between families will always be necessary, since there will always be difference about registers.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:20:23 PM tcryar, you probably want to track submission changes more explicitly. A Wiki tends to hide who submitted edits and why.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:19:31 PM The tool(s)often depends upon the particular microcontroller family you plan to use
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:19:05 PM @jon: C vs. ASM: Given that in both cases you're working close to the hardware, I wonder how reusable is embedded C across MCU families, say from MSP430 to PIC?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:19:03 PM @khan38 @caa028 Yes, I thought it would be this way. The model seems to be good to have a notion about what you want to do, but no to really do all the code.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:18:29 PM Jon,
Can you evaluate using a Wiki for Project Team coordination?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:17:53 PM Jon can you recommend a path/tool for the lone engineer working from a home lab
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:17:50 PM I would not worry about readability... (it may be well documented/structured/etc...) But the quality of autogenerated code will be questionable
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:17:38 PM @franchzilla I also noticed slowness in the extuction not that matlab was running it faster :p.. but because of all the layering
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:17:37 PM Does the model based design itself decide the C progrm flow?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:15:53 PM I guess this slide answers part of my question. But is the code generated good? Or does it lack performance?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:15:50 PM @franchzilla There is a way, I have done it once. but the code is almost undreadable.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:15:22 PM Will model tools produce MISRA C code?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:15:18 PM FranchZilla, I believe newer matlab versions will do that
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:14:56 PM For some reason I can't hear anything today...
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:14:49 PM Is model creation in the Maplesoft easy? Should you decide algorithm when you create model?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:14:33 PM Is there a way to convert a model done in MATLAB or Multisim directly to C code? The autogenerated code in this way would be any good?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:14:15 PM Hey guys - why not get Jon a color printer? (Ha! Ha!)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:13:41 PM This is similar to matlab, can do the same things with simulink
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:13:36 PM The circular nodes correlate with the graphs below.

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:12:50 PM Is anyone else getting constant buffering on the audio display and only hearing"Blog Talk Radio" when refreshing the browser and/or pressing F5 using Chrome?

Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:12:05 PM On Slide 9, are the circular nodes representing test points?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:08:51 PM Hi
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:08:32 PM How many credits are we 'supposed' to receive ?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:08:17 PM @KateEngenity same here.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:07:57 PM Kate, send an email to dkcec@designnews.com and we will get that fixed. subj line: DKCEC Credits
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:07:15 PM None of my credits have shown up even though I attended yesterday's and Monday's lectures
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:06:51 PM Slide 5, actually.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:06:01 PM you will see credits for the courses you've taken show up on your profile
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:06:01 PM In a small project, with 5 people at most, does it make sense to create "modules"? I.E. two people take care of hardware, other two of software... or is it better for everyone do a little of all parts?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:05:28 PM They send the cert to you after classes are over via mail. Don't know that'll work for attending an archived class, if you get caught up in a meeting.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:05:20 PM Thanks . After refreshing it works fine
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:05:15 PM check the site for your points and certification
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:05:13 PM As we got thru the PPT, please enter your technical questions, and I'll feed them to Jon at the end of the show during our discussion portion. Then he'll come online here to chat directly.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:05:11 PM Hi, Jon, glad to be back with you on the board.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:04:32 PM Just a reminder... Do anyone find out how to get certificates. etc. for these courses? (i.e., for credits)
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:04:12 PM for audio, try F5
Wednesday January 18, 2012 2:03:50 PM auido is good here as well

Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:59:06 PM @s.schmiedl haha... this is the same thing I get. Maybe they were testing the grade system with you earlier.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:58:17 PM the audio hasn't started yet, it will start on 2pm eastern which is in 2mins

Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:52:37 PM hello alex and jon. I figured out why I wasn't see slides 2 thru end. I needed a newer power point. I was using a PPT 97 so had to get one of those PPT viewers and can seel everything now.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:50:01 PM Be sure to click 'Today's Slide Deck' under Special Educational Materials above to follow along with Jon Titus.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:49:53 PM The streaming audio player will appear on this web page when the show starts at 2pm eastern today. Note however that some companies block live audio streams.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:48:27 PM It brings into question scope for program optimization; C vs Assembly Language?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:47:32 PM @s.schmiedl Where can you see the grades? It still shows up 0 at My Grades, eventhough I heard the two previous lectures and participated in the first one.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:44:04 PM Ok thanks, this should mesh well with the realtime segment and also testing and verification methods in performance evaluation
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:43:09 PM Todays MCUs are much faster as well as contain higher memory compared to say 10 years back...In regards to that I wonder does Assembly Language Programming still has any advantage over much simpler C/C+ ? Why does anybody needs to choose ALP other than for having fun? raghu
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:40:51 PM Q: Ok I was wondering if manuals usually incorporate a rough calculation....such I have encountered with PLCs.
A: You can look at the assembly-language listing produced by a compiler and use the MCU clock frequency and number-of-cycles-per instruction (it can vary from instruction to instruction) to calculate the time needed for a routine. That's a tedious process. Might be easier to put an output instruction at the start and change the state of the output at the end. Use a storage scope to display the signal and determine the time that way. I have used that technique.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:40:27 PM 20 minutes
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:37:51 PM it will start at 19 gmt ?

Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:36:50 PM i am waiting.. thank you mister jon
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:35:14 PM Q Is there a method to evaluate controller cycle + instruction processing time? Time sharing between microcontrollers if I am using a network of controllers?
A: I would bet some of the high-end software-development tools, or a third-party tool offers a form of timing analysis. I suggest a Google search.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:34:02 PM No, I don't mention Parallax in Session 3.
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:33:18 PM Is Parallax missing in the company list?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:32:15 PM Is there a method to evaluate controller cycle + instruction processing time? Time sharing between microcontrollers if I am using a network of controllers?

Wednesday January 18, 2012 12:24:37 PM hmmm... is there a bug in the point system? according to "how do i graduate?": "A total of ten points can be scored for each of the five lectures in a track". So how do I get 25 points before the third session even started?
Wednesday January 18, 2012 10:41:13 AM @vagish archived classes are here:http://www.designnews.com/lecture-calendar.asp but problem with audio ...I have the same on this computer and I cannot solve it. It probably comes from firewalls or other Internet protection at browser
Wednesday January 18, 2012 6:35:48 AM missing two previous ones but I will atend this

Living in Purgatory
In one of the epic accomplishments in documentaries, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s trilogy followed the trial, conviction, and ultimate freeing of the West Memphis Three for 17 years. It’s a classic story of how talent, perseverance, and the power of film can change lives.

FILMMAKERS' JOURNEY: Bruce Sinofsky (left) and Joe Berlinger, with Damien Echols on death row in 2009, started working on the first film of their trilogy in 1993.
(Photo Courtesy of Bob Richman) It is the evening of August 19, 2011, and a party is under way at the Madison Hotel in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The mood is celebratory, belying the fact that not 24 hours earlier, the three men being feted were incarcerated in a Jonesboro, Arkansas prison—two of them serving life sentences, the third on death row. The formerly condemned man, Damien Echols, waves and raises his wine glass to the documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, who look on in mild disbelief. They are reminded of another, far-less joyous occasion when Echols signaled to them across a crowded room: the moment, some 17 years earlier, when he was being led away from a courtroom in chains, having been found guilty—and sentenced to die—for the brutal murders of three 8-year-old boys.
By that point, Berlinger and Sinofsky had become convinced that Echols and his alleged co-conspirators, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. (aka the West Memphis Three), were all wrongfully accused, victims of media-fueled hysteria about satanic cultism, and of a hermetic community’s desire for swift justice. And as the filmmakers—who had arrived in the town of West Memphis, Arkansas, in the summer of 1993, the shock of the murders still fresh in the air—watched Echols disappear into a police van outside the courthouse, they knew that the movie they had spent the last year of their lives shooting was just the beginning of a much larger endeavor.
“When Joe and I got to the airport in Memphis, we looked at each other and said, ‘Whether we continue filming or not, we have to be involved in helping these guys,’” the easygoing, Lebowski-esque Sinofsky says, speaking in the kitchen of his amiably cluttered Montclair, New Jersey, home. “That was the moment, for me anyway, when I went from being a storyteller to an advocate,” adds Berlinger—as intense as Sinofsky is laid back—over breakfast the morning of the Academy Awards. For the record, Berlinger and Sinofsky aren’t the first non-fiction filmmakers whose work contributed to the freedom of a death row inmate. In 1988, Errol Morris’ The Thin Blue Line argued so persuasively for the innocence of a man convicted of the 1976 murder of a Dallas police officer that the case was subsequently reopened and the conviction overturned. And in 1965, an up-and-coming TV director named William Friedkin similarly examined the case of a Chicago man charged with murdering a security guard during a robbery. The resulting film, The People vs. Paul Crump, was deemed instrumental in the commutation of Crump’s death sentence.
But if Berlinger and Sinofsky’s Paradise Lost trilogy seems like a singular achievement, it is partly a question of scale—the project now spans almost 20 years and more than seven hours of screen time—and largely due to the way the films themselves have increasingly become part of their own epic narrative, sparking a national advocacy movement that proved instrumental in the West Memphis Three’s dramatic reversal of fortune. Indeed, it is impossible to recount the Paradise Lost story without also reflecting on two decades worth of changes in the media, in the culture of non-fiction filmmaking, and in Berlinger and Sinofsky’s own creative partnership—a collaboration that has its roots in the New York offices of cinéma vérité pioneers Albert and David Maysles.

It was in the mid-1980s when they first met—Berlinger a former advertising executive recruited by the Maysles brothers to help boost their TV commercial business, and Sinofsky an editor who would cut together the show reels Berlinger needed for his Madison Avenue pitch meetings. “We just became very good friends right from the start, and about three years into my tenure at Maysles, I decided I wanted to aggressively pursue becoming a filmmaker,” says Berlinger. The result was Outrageous Taxi Stories (1989), a 25-minute documentary short directed by Berlinger, edited by Sinofsky, and shot by cameraman Bob Richman (another Maysles staffer who would become an important member of the Paradise Lost team).
The short traveled widely on the festival circuit, giving Berlinger and Sinofsky the confidence they needed to try their hands at something more ambitious. “With certain exceptions like Barbara Kopple, the 1980s were generally a very fallow period for the kind of ambiguous, cinéma-vérité, human portraits with dramatic structure that made the Maysles famous, like Grey Gardens and Salesman,” says Berlinger. “So Bruce and I said, ‘Let’s make one of those films.’ ” Around the same time, the friends slipped into the Lincoln Plaza Cinemas to catch a screening of The Thin Blue Line. “That was like a light bulb going off,” remembers Berlinger. “Not stylistically—because that film is as different as can be stylistically from what the Maysles were doing and what we wanted to do—but in the idea that you could actually put a documentary in the movie theater and people would go see it.”
For a year, Berlinger and Sinofsky waited for the right story to come along, until one morning they both arrived for work excitedly clutching a small New York Times story about Delbert Ward, an illiterate, upstate New York dairy farmer accused of smothering to death his brother William. “It really caught my eye because I knew this area,” recalls Berlinger, who graduated from Colgate University in the nearby town of Hamilton, New York. “That was on a Monday, and by Friday we had driven upstate and met with Delbert’s attorney,” says Sinofsky. “By Saturday, we were being chaperoned around, because the townspeople were very leery about outsiders coming in.” In many ways, that true-crime tale, which would become Berlinger and Sinofsky’s DGA Award-winning debut feature Brother’s Keeper (1992), was an instructive primer for their work on the Paradise Lost films, particularly when it came to ingratiating themselves into a potentially inhospitable or outright hostile environment. “Joe and I often say that the work we do before we film is the most important, because it’s really about trust,” explains Sinofsky. “There’s no reason for any of these people to think that two guys from New York who are of a different faith than they are would be honest and fair and not just try to take advantage of them.” In the case of both Brother’s Keeper and Paradise Lost, that meant leaving their cameras in the car when they first arrived on the scene and slowly earning the confidence of their subjects before ever exposing a frame of film. “We did chores,” Berlinger says of the duo’s early days on the Ward brothers’ Munnsville dairy farm. “I remember mucking out the barn. And we would spend hours just sitting in the grass with them. Maybe every 10 or 15 minutes a word would be exchanged.”

When they landed in West Memphis in 1993, Berlinger and Sinofsky drew on that grass-sitting, barn-mucking experience to secure the participation of all three of the accused, their families, the victims’ families, and extraordinary access to film inside the courtroom of Judge David Burnett during each of two ensuing trials. In their first meeting with Todd and Diane Moore, the parents of victim Michael Moore, the filmmakers discovered that the Moores didn’t want to appear in a film. “And we said, ‘Look, we understand the sensitivity here. We’d like you to be in our film, but we’ll never ask you again,’ ” says Sinofsky. A few weeks later, when they set out to film a memorable afternoon of target practice with Mark Byers, stepfather of victim Christopher Byers, Todd Moore asked if he could tag along. “And that was him breaking the ice, because by then he had decided that we were OK.”
When it came to filming the trials, the directors called in a favor from an old friend. “We actually had the judge from Brother’s Keeper call [Burnett] to let him know that we were OK, that we weren’t going to get in the way of everything,” says Sinofsky. “Then we met Gary Gitchell, the police captain, and John Fogelman and Brent Davis, the prosecutors. The agreement was that if anyone on any side objected, cameras would not be allowed in the courtroom. And I have to say that the work Joe and I did in talking to them, and massaging them in a certain way, was some of our best work, because without that access it just wouldn’t have been the same film.”
Berlinger and Sinofsky first learned about the West Memphis case via an AP wire story sent to them by HBO’s legendary documentary chief, Sheila Nevins, who had hired the directors in the wake of Brother’s Keeper to make a film about the American funeral industry. “We thought we were going down there because these guys were guilty, and the first people we met were the families of the victims and the police and the prosecutors. So it was all very, very against the West Memphis Three,” says Sinofsky. “Our first feeling that things weren’t quite right came when we started meeting the families of Jason, Damien, and Jessie, and then their attorneys. Then, after we filmed Jason, Damien, and Jessie themselves, it was clear that they may have been innocent and that this was a rush to justice. Joe and I would talk a lot in our dumpy rooms at the Ramada Inn off I-55, and we said, ‘Well, we should go back to Sheila and let her know that there’s something going on here that we need to look into,’ and she agreed.”
It was in that same hotel, Sinofsky recalls, that he and Berlinger began conceiving of a look and a structure for the film. “We knew that a crime took place and there was going to be a trial, so we had some sort of structure there,” he says. “But getting to know all the parties was always important to us. We would shoot the trial during the day and then we would go back to a lawyer’s office, or we would meet Damien’s family—things like that.” They even hired a helicopter to shoot 35 mm aerial footage of the crime scene and the surrounding area, to orient viewers geographically, but also to lend the film some of the visual dynamism of a narrative feature. “We use some of the artifice of fiction in non-fiction,” says Sinofsky. “There’s a beginning, middle, and an end. There’s rising and falling action.” Later, in the editing room, the directors (who also shared editing credit) would build short scenes, or “lifts,” out of their 16 mm dailies. “Suddenly, you’ve got 18 or 20 scenes, and then you start thinking, ‘Well, this one would go well with this one,’ ” says Sinofsky.
Broadcast in June of 1996, the first Paradise Lost, subtitled The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, recounts the gruesome details of the crime, a botched investigation that includes lost evidence and coerced confessions, and an often surreal trial in which a parade of unconvincing character witnesses and correspondence-course experts on the occult vilify the three accused in lieu of any physical evidence. The tone is appropriately austere, but as in Brother’s Keeper, Berlinger and Sinofsky find their own way into the material, observing many of the tenets of cinéma vérité while allowing for on-camera interviews and for an off-camera intimacy with their subjects that some documentary purists would deem a conflict of interest. In a controversial decision, the directors provided all of the families, many of whom were living at or near the poverty line, with modest honoraria for their participation in the project. In yet another ethically complicated twist, the team found themselves at the center of the story when Mark Byers gave them as a gift a used hunting knife that turned out to have dried blood in its hinges. (They promptly turned the knife over to the police and it was entered into evidence.)
“We are disciples of the Maysles style of acquiring footage, which means that you have faith in the unfolding story,” notes Berlinger. “People don’t realize just what an act of faith that is: you have some inciting incident like a murder, and you follow it in the hope that it can be crafted into something satisfying. What if the West Memphis Three had taken a plea early on? What if Delbert Ward had never gone to trial?” But Berlinger is quick to add that he and Sinofsky part ways with their storied mentors on several key levels. “First of all, the Maysleses resisted using the term ‘director’ and believed that you could capture an objective reality, and I think there’s no such thing as objectivity in cinema, including documentary making,” he says. “The choice of camera angle, the 8,000 decisions you make in the editing room ... I think filmmaking—all media—is shaped by the perceptions and psyche of the person creating it. Most importantly, I think that any time you enter people’s lives and you follow their story, part of the story becomes the relationship between subjects and filmmakers.”
When Berlinger and Sinofsky returned to West Memphis, however, to begin work on Paradise Lost 2: Revelations in 2000, they found that following the first film’s broadcast, many of those relationships were now fraught with suspicion and unease. “I think they felt betrayed, because there was a suggestion that maybe these three guys were innocent,” Sinofsky says of the victims’ families, all of whom save for Mark Byers declined to participate in the second film. Nor were they the only ones. Cameras were now banned in the courtroom as well, even as the defense team appealing Echols’ conviction found itself entering the first Paradise Lost film into evidence. So the directors had to rely mostly on third-party news coverage to tell the story, plus black-and-white-tinted flashbacks to the first film that Berlinger admits now make him cringe.

And yet, if Revelations falls short of the promise of its title, it remains undeniably fascinating for its introduction of the burgeoning West Memphis Three support group, a nationwide community of like-minded justice seekers, connected via the Internet, who became aware of the case through the first Paradise Lost film, adding yet another self-reflexive dimension to the series’ ever-lengthening hall of mirrors.
Asked how they’ve worked so well together for so long, Sinofsky says that he and Berlinger have always benefited from a shared vision of whatever project they happen to be working on. They also have a longstanding rule: in the cutting room, each director is allowed three unilateral decisions—or “swords” as Sinofsky calls them—that, if invoked, must remain unchallenged by the other party. “And in all the films that we’ve made, we’ve only done it once, on Paradise Lost 2,” he says. “There was something that I thought was kind of a double ending. It could have stayed the way it was, but I called in a sword there.” Following Paradise Lost 2, Berlinger and Sinofsky went their separate ways for a while, with Berlinger directing The Blair Witch Project sequel Book of Shadows (2000) and Sinofsky the PBS Sun Records tribute documentary Good Rockin’ Tonight (2001). They reunited in 2004 for the acclaimed Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, which follows the influential heavy metal band (whose music features prominently in the Paradise Lost films) through the recording of their latest album and myriad personal and professional crises. Jessie Misskelley Jr. in his cell at age 17 in 1993, was sentenced to life plus 40 years in prison, and (right) in jail at age 34 in 2010.
During those same years, new developments in the West Memphis Three case were few and far between, mostly involving further appeals by Echols and his co-defendants. “Unlike filming an unfolding murder trial, the appeals process is very un-cinematic—it’s the filing of papers,” observes Berlinger, who began working with Sinofsky on the third film as early as 2004. But a 2007 press conference, at which the now high-powered defense team (including O.J. Simpson “dream team” vet Barry Scheck) presented DNA evidence that excluded their clients from the crime scene, gave the filmmakers what Sinofsky calls “the binding for the book.” Still, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory (nominated for a DGA and Academy Award) remained the most difficult film in the series to structure, due to the sheer amount of time (11 years) that had elapsed since Paradise Lost 2, and the inherent challenge of making a movie that would be accessible to audiences both old and new. “The beginning of the third film—the first act—is really allowing people to see what the first two were about, because we needed it to be a stand-alone film,” says Sinofsky. “We didn’t want to just rehash the same information, but it was important that somebody who had never seen the first or second film could watch the third one and know what had happened.” To that end, the filmmakers brought their old Steenbeck editing equipment out of storage and revisited their extensive archive of 16 mm workprints and dailies, whenever possible selecting previously unseen footage to tell the back story.
Then Berlinger had a “eureka” moment: He remembered he had also kept video copies of all the local media coverage of the case dating back to 1993. “We started looking at the press coverage and realized that it was a perfect narrative device and a perfect way to express what I think is one of the major themes of the third film, which is the power of the media to shape perceptions,” says Berlinger. “The media, to me, is very much the reason these guys were convicted. In Paradise Lost 3, you see how extremely negative those early newscasts were, focusing on devil worshipping and the like. Then you see some of these same journalists continuing with the story over the decades, you see them getting older, more professional, and the sets becoming more professional. And you also see that the reporting goes from being very one-sided, to, around the mid-2000s—especially when all the new evidence starts coming out—favoring the idea that these guys are potentially innocent.”
In other ways, too, time becomes the dominant concern of Paradise Lost 3—both the time that has passed since the series first began, and the little time that remains for Echols, barring a reversal of his sentence. In new jailhouse interviews, the film’s subjects appear no longer as the confused teenagers they once were, but rather as men in their early 30s, made wise beyond their years by the terrible fate they have suffered. Echols himself seems somehow even older, with a receding hairline and premature arthritis. Misskelley, meanwhile, has had an actual clock tattooed on his shaved head—minus the hands, to be added later, he says optimistically, showing the time of his eventual release. And then there are Berlinger and Sinofsky’s grainy, scratchy 16 mm dailies, which periodically interrupt the crisp, high-definition video images in Paradise Lost 3 to tell yet another story—that of the evolution of documentary filmmaking from an analog to a digital medium.
“Just physically being able to touch a splice and open a splice was nice—I missed it,” says Sinofsky, while noting that, in most respects, the move from film to digital has had little impact on the way he, Berlinger, and cameraman Richman go about their work. “Bob shoots the same way with a digital camera—a mounted one,” he says. “We’ve sometimes used those smaller cameras, but nothing’s better for Bob than having a shoulder-mounted camera. He’s just got a magical eye. Joe and I feel with him like there’s a wiretap running from our heads to his camera. I can feel what he’s shooting by the turning of the focus.” “I think the first Paradise Lost was shot at the end of a certain era,” observes Berlinger, pointing to another, more substantial change in the documentary realm. “If this film was shot a couple of years later, we wouldn’t have gotten the same access. The film was made prior to the O.J. Simpson trial, and the O.J. trial was a watershed event in American culture, in which the American public and the media realized that hanging on every salacious moment of a terrible crime was good television. Court TV had just started but wasn’t a phenomenon; the 24-hour news cycle hadn’t yet kicked in. I think if this murder had happened five years ago, by the time we showed up there would have been 80 satellite trucks there, the family members would have media handlers and agents and other representatives. So the movie happened at precisely the right moment, in which the combination of the story, the characters, and the access we got produced something really spectacular.”
Berlinger and Sinofsky rushed to complete work on Paradise Lost 3 in time for a fall 2011 premiere, the idea being to reignite interest in the case in advance of a scheduled December evidentiary hearing that seemed, in, light of the new DNA evidence—as well as allegations of jury misconduct—like it would finally lead to new trials for the West Memphis Three. In August, they were already well into postproduction, with a rough cut of the film submitted to various fall film festivals, when they received word that a plea deal was imminent and hurriedly traveled back to West Memphis to shoot a new ending to the film. "'Joe got off a phone call and said, ‘Something's happening on Friday and we have to get there now,'" recalls Sinofsky. "'They weren't specific about what was going to happen, but we had a feeling. So we flew down on Thursday, drove down to Jonesboro, met up with their attorneys at a restaurant that night, and we pretty much knew by the end of the evening that these guys were going to get out. We didn't sleep much that night."
Berlinger and Sinofsky are convinced that this sea change in the attitude of the local media—and local residents—coming after a decade of steadily mounting pressure from pro-West Memphis Three organizations, and from celebrity activists such as Johnny Depp and Eddie Vedder, set the stage for the deal that ultimately saw Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley walk free. (The deal, known as an "'Alford" plea, allowed the three defendants to maintain their innocence while nevertheless entering guilty pleas into the official record.) It was a bittersweet ending for the directors, who both say that the experience of the Paradise Lost films changed them profoundly as people, and who had hoped—and still hope—to see their subjects fully exonerated. But if and when that day comes, this time Berlinger and Sinofsky don't expect to be filming it. They're now happy to pass the torch to others, such as producer Peter Jackson and director Amy Berg, whose own West Memphis Three documentary, West of Memphis, premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival. (A dramatic version of the story, directed by Atom Egoyan starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, is also in the works.)
"'As long as there's attention on these three guys, that's great," says Sinofsky, who is now contemplating an early retirement in the south of France, where he and his wife have a home. "'You know, the idea of going back in five years or so to see how their lives have changed—I think people would want to see that. But I don't want to feel like every time I see them I have to have a camera there. I want them to have normal, regular lives, as much as they can for people who've spent that much time in jail or been on death row."
Berlinger, meanwhile, has several fiction screenplays in development and hopes to continue shedding light on matters of injustice and disenfranchisement in films such as 2009's Crude, about the oil pollution of the Ecuadorian Amazon. "'That tension between advocacy and journalism, and whether they can co-exist, to me is one of the fundamental questions of what I do," he says. "'Storytelling, especially if you want to lend your documentary a certain dramatic structure—in the Aristotelian sense of the term—has certain demands. When you're trying to be a journalist, there are certain demands of balance. And when you're trying to be an advocate, there are certain demands of making sure the audience understands your point of view about the subject matter you're trying to be an advocate for. And I don't have a clear answer as to what that balance is, and I think that was the challenge of the Paradise Lost series and that's the challenge of the kinds of films I tend to gravitate towards."

VR Program Performance Update
DRS continued to make performance gains in the VR program through February 2012. In the first eight months of FY2012, competitive employment outcomes were up 13.4 percent over the same period in the previous fiscal year. The Bureau of Blind Services (BBS) showed a 47.7 percent increase in that time period, while the Bureau of Field Services (BFS) had a 11.7 percent increase. Within BFS, Region 3 had a 26.8 percent increase compared to a year ago.
DRS also increased its performance on the rehabilitation rate measure from 53.1 percent in FY2011 to
55.9 percent in FY2012. The rehab rate is a measure of the percentage of closed cases that resulted in a successful employment outcome for the customer.
DRS made gains on key pre-employment measures as well. Referrals to the VR program were up 7.7 percent compared to last year, with considerable variability among regions and bureaus. BBS showed an increase in referrals of 18.8 percent, while BFS overall had a 7.0 percent increase.

Community Partner Update: August 2013
Congratulations! Richard Jonathas, Rehabilitation Counselor in the Waukegan Office, was named the state Interagency Committee on Employees with Disabilities' (ICED), 2013 State Employee of the Year for his outstanding achievements both on and off the job and was recognized at a ceremony on May 22. ICED was impressed with Richard's good work that supports people with disabilities.
Counselor Series Changes
An initiative that began quite some time ago will be implemented July 1. The entry level job title for counselors in the DRS Field Offices is the Rehabilitation Counselor Trainee title. Currently, the requirement for this title is a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling or a closely related degree. These education requirements have been the same for both the Vocational Rehabilitation Program and the Home Services Program. As of July 1, this title will be updated to add an option for each of the programs. The option for the federally-funded Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Program will now be Option V, with the educat | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5913 | {"url": "http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=67023&postdate=7/31/2013&approval=4&newsitemid=66964&getpreviousnews=true&newssidebar=27897", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.dhs.state.il.us", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:36:54Z", "digest": "sha1:FRFHWENJBXOKNEAFXFKKY53J3OFYU2QY"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1075, 1075.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1075, 1863.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1075, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1075, 16.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1075, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1075, 223.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1075, 0.36458333]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1075, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1075, 0.05191874]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1075, 0.02604167]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1075, 0.140625]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1075, 0.61077844]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1075, 5.30538922]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1075, 4.36247776]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1075, 167.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 421, 1.0], [421, 446, 0.0], [446, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 421, 0.0], [421, 446, 0.0], [446, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 38, 5.0], [38, 421, 57.0], [421, 446, 3.0], [446, 1075, 102.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.11111111], [38, 421, 0.01612903], [421, 446, 0.0], [446, 1075, 0.00324149]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 421, 0.0], [421, 446, 0.0], [446, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.10526316], [38, 421, 0.06266319], [421, 446, 0.12], [446, 1075, 0.04928458]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1075, 0.00198835]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1075, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1075, 0.03500599]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1075, -49.38841156]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1075, -10.02921695]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1075, -0.36464663]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1075, 9.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

HomeChronology of Canadian Copyright Law
The process of revising copyright has been ongoing for many years. While most of the folks with the Digital Copyright Canada forum joined this process in the summer of 2001, some earlier developments will be documented. Each entry will indicate the type of participant: government (the bureaucracy), parliament (members of the elected parliament), senate, court, citizens, NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations), Corporation, etc.
It is important to realize that Canadian copyright law has been constantly changing (See: The same “old” line), with major changes in 1988, 1997, and 2012.
What Copyright regulates are technological acts, and thus Copyright law must continue to be updated to reflect technological change. Our policy question is never whether there should be change, but whether the changes embrace or try to delay inevitable changes brought by new technology.
Please send me a note with any updates.

1872: Dominion of Canada bill
Westminster refused to ratify an 1872 Dominion of Canada bill that enshrined a fixed-royalty principle for Canadian publishers to re-print British copyrighted works (Allingham). A 1875 bill was ratified which only allowd Canadian republishing of books that had gone out of print.
UK ratifies Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which came into force on December 5, 1887.
Canada "passed an act requiring that, in order to secure Canadian copyright, a book would have to be published in Canada within one month of its publication elsewhere" (Allingham)
Legacy recording industry lobbiests like to mention this year, claiming that copyright hasn't changed much since this time.
The reality is that all aspect of the The Copyright Act, chapter seventy of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1906, and chapter seventeen of the statutes of 1908, as well as all the enactments relating to copyright passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, so far as they were operative in Canada, were repealed as part of the 1921 act (Sections 47 and 48).
1911: U.K Copyright Act
Our copyright act is largely based on U.K. copyright law, and thus the history in the U.K. is important for analyzing Canadian law.
1921: An Act to amend and consolidate the Law relating to Copyright, (S.C. 1921, c. 24)
Full text of act: HTML, OpenDocument, PDF
"The Canadian Copyright Act is an evolving work product of Parliament striving to fulfill its constitutional responsibility for copyright. That responsibility, however, was not fully assumed until 1921, more than fifty years after Confederation. Until then it was divided between the Imperial Copyright Act and sections of other Imperial and Canadian statutes, e.g., the Criminal Code of Canada. During this time, the Parliaments at Westminster and Ottawa were often at odds over which provisions should prevail as the law of the land (Allingham 2001)." (Harry Hillman Chartrand)
Many court cases (Including most recently Robertson v. Thomson Corp., 2006 SCC 43) document this date as the first Canadian copyright act.
When this bill came into force 1924, Canada adopted life+50 as the basic term. Previously Canada used "28-and-14; 28 on formalities; another 14 possible on renewal." (Wallace J.McLean)
1928: Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
Berne convention comes into force in Canada on April 10, 1928.
From the WIPO notes: Entry into force date given as date of independence. Previous application of Berlin Act by UK: January 1, 1924. Original adherence to Berne Convention by UK: December 5, 1887.
Report: From Gutenberg to Telidon
1985: Revised Statutes (1985), chapter C-42
Justice: Copyright Act ( R.S., 1985, c. C-42 )
While this act has been amended many times since 1985, this is the most recent rewrite that more recent bills revised.
1985 Parliamentary sub-committee report: A Charter of Rights for Creators
1986 Report: The Government Response to A Charter of Rights for Creators
1988: Bill C-60 (Phase I)
"The original Copyright Act of 1924 was amended in 1988 by Bill C-60 which addressed computer programs, anti-piracy remedies, the relationship of the copyright and industrial design legislation, the Copyright Board, the collective management of copyright, moral rights, the protection of choreographic works, the abolition of compulsory licences for the making of sound recordings, and the right to exhibit artistic works in public. At the time the Act was proclaimed, the Government promised a second package of amendments which was intended to deal with issues, primarily exemptions to the Act, not covered in Bill C-60." (University of Alberta: Copyright)
These amendments came as a result of a 1985 parliamentary sub-committee on the Revision of Copyright. This sub-committee recommended in its report called "A Charter of Rights for Creators" that the Copyright Act be revised immediately to reflect major changes since 1924, when the Act was promulgated.
The obvious question is when the user-rights side (follow-on creators, new methods of production, distribution and funding of creativity, etc) of Copyright will ever be brought forward by the government?
1989: Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement
Compulsory license for cable and satellite retransmission, and expanding concept of "communication to the public" to include all forms of telecommunication.

Redefine "musical work", add retransmission right of musical works
1994: NAFTA
established a retransmission right and system of compensation for certain retransmissions.
1996: World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act
Extended copyright to all WTO countries, and gave performers protection against bootleg audio recordings (an unauthorized recording of a live event) and unauthorized live transmissions of their performances.
1997: Bill C-32: (Phase II)
Amendments to Canadian legislation to allow ratification of Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations. Addition of the Private Copying regime, which created the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC). Clarification of Fair Dealings, and addition of some institutional exceptions to copyright.

Decision concerning the balance between competing rightsholders: owner of copyright in a painting, and owner of the painting. This case is often used in first year property law courses to help students understand that patent, copyright and related exclusive rights are nearly always in conflict with the rights of some tangible property rightsholder.

2002: C-11 An Act to amend the Copyright Act
Parliament: C-11 An Act to amend the Copyright Act
Bill introduced in parliament on a fast-track on 9 October 2002 (deemed to have passed all stages at once), and received Royal Assent on 12 December 2002. The purpose was to create an exception to excluded Internet re-transmitters from the purview of the compulsory licence for retransmission, disallowing Internet re-transmitters the same rights as cable and satellite re-transmitters. This set the tone for many of us to understand the government as being opposed to new media, and willing to go out of their way to protect the anti-competative special economic interests of old-media companies.

Also known as: L. M. Montgomery Copyright Term Extension Act
Parliament: An Act to establish the Library and Archives of Canada, to amend the Copyright Act and to amend certain Acts in consequence
The controversial copyright amendments were eventually dropped as there was a December 2003 deadline for unpublished posthumous works entering into the public domain. The bill didn't pass the Senate by the end of 2003, and passed as Bill C-8 in the following session of parliament.

December 7,10-13, 2007: Conservative government does not table “An Act to amend the Copyright Act”
While the Government put a bill “An Act to amend the Copyright Act” on the order paper for the Minister of Industry to table this week, the bill was not tabled before the house adjourned until Monday, January 28. This delay may have been due to public outcry (Coordinated via Facebook, BoingBoing, MichaelGeist.ca, etc) against the expected contents of the bill. This grassroots activism included a visit on December 8 to the the Christmas party for riding constituents held by Industry Minister Jim Prentice.
As of June 2008, this bill remained on the order paper.

'Family Guy' abortion plotline revealedBy Tim Parks
Thursday, Aug 13 2009, 12:05pm EDT
The plotline for the Family Guy abortion-themed episode that was banned has been revealed.The Fox network decided against airing the "controversial" 'Partial Terms Of Endearment' installment last month, but said that it could make its way onto a DVD release.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story was to center around Lois Griffin acting as a surrogate for a childless couple, who are later killed in a car crash. She is then left with the choice of whether or not to keep the baby. A source told the publication that the episode was "very graphic, very morbid" in regards to the abortion process, though the segment was to end on an ambiguous note. However, it is understood that creator Seth MacFarlane added an addendum, in which Peter Griffin pops into the frame at the episode's end and says that his wife went through with the procedure. MacFarlane recently announced that he was readying two Star Wars-inspired installments for the animated show's upcoming season. 0
