RIP Los Angeles
371 N. St. Andrews Update
Well, this is how we learn. R.I.P. Los Angeles is not an exact science, yet.
In my defense, the blog was in its infancy when I posted that 371 North St. Andrews Place was not long for this world; I had the Planning Dept info on that corner and I found no demolition permit on Zimas.
So after posting that this wonderful building is threatened, I was contacted in short order by a couple of good folk saying you knucklehead, this building is long gone! Well, they didn't call me a knucklehead, but I felt like one. Here's what they said:
From LC: This lovely building was demolished before the date you listed for the permit. I think it was pulled down last fall of winter. After the property was acquired by a developer, they got all the tenants out, then sort of boarded the place up. Naturally, the local homeless community took up residence immediately. They responded by boarding it up a little more securely. That last a few weeks. Eventually, it caught fire. Happily, no one was injured but the roof burned and the building had to be pulled down. We live on this block and construction on the new structures (there are two or three because the developer also acquired the house next door) has been well under way since spring. While your photos show many of the beautiful older buildings still standing in the immediate vicinity, there are in fact four other new construction projects within just a few feet of this one. All are the hideous, boxey eyesores that developers favor. There are now more new buildings than old on these two blocks of Elmwood and Oakwood. It's depressing.
From allison schallert: this was torn down over a year and a half ago. the young and old people were evicted without payment, and the only good thing is the construction crew, or the owners are letting some unhoused invididuals live in a small corner. I live on the 500 block of North St Andrews Place
So here's something else I found out. A Bing maps aerial is a lot more current than a Google street-map.
Lookit that. A big lot full of dirt. The first thing that caught my eye was the large white building to the south. Didn't my ninety-two intersection images prove that there were no VeryTall buildings in the vicinity?
The one on the right, a ten-room, two-unit, designed by A. J. Badger and built in 1920. On the left, a bungalow from 1913. It's nice to know Los Angeles can be so cavalier about tearing down its bungalows. And this one is on record as being designed by female architect Anna K. Hallock. Well, was. Protip: invest in landfills.
So while we're on the subject of the immediate neighborhood (as LC states, there are "hideous boxy eyesores" scattered about the immediate landscape) I pulled up a bit and said what the hell is that?
So recently lost are 4847 (51) , 4843 (52) , 4837 (53), and 4833 (54) Oakwood, for whatever that big grey thing is. Because unless I do it, no-one else will and they will be lost forever, let's look at them.
4847 Oakwood. Look at that amazing, healthy tree. They ripped it out, because they could. Imagine you lived across the street for fifty years and that tree was already old when you moved in.
Look, I'm not an eco guy, I'm a building guy. But aren't the folks who, really, really like trees upset that developers are ripping up and destroying all the trees in Los Angeles? Shouldn't the knowledge of that be, you know, a thing? Hey tree people you're losing your canopy.
Oh, and 4847 Oakwood was apparently built before 1905, because no building records exist of it.
Oooo look honey, curb appeal! Hey you sonsabitches, here's a protip, don't paint everything white and put in vinyl windows and CUT OFF YOUR RAFTER TAILS! But I guess it doesn't matter when Dan Zaharias of Oakwood Development comes to town and destroys it a couple years later anyway.
Above: 4833 Oakwood was one of Los Angeles' earlier bungalows as its construction records predate 1905. Good work there, LA! But in the name of all that is holy don't tell me you've left some! Are you bereft of your duties? Don't you have flamethrowers or something?
And here is a summerhouse built by Leonard Jones, designed by A. M. Brown, in 1923.
Ooop! Despite the fact that there are more buildings that died, that need to be remembered, I have to go right now, so if you will, excuse me.

That's because most of the big developers these days are from some other country. They don't care about southern California history because it is not THEIR history. Sad, but true.
C.C. says:
How exactly do you search for demolition permits? I'm having a hard time with those websites…
Nathan Marsak says:
Hey C. C. ! So, if you're looking for demolition permits in general in the last couple weeks, go to http://planning.lacity.org/ and click "Case Reports" in the green bar, that will open a window called "Latest Cases" which is about the last two weeks' worth.
If you're looking for information pertaining to a particular address, there's http://zimas.lacity.org/ which'll give you stuff like year built and most recent case numbers.
For my money though you want to go to DBS records at http://ladbsdoc.lacity.org/idispublic/ and I usually order them by date. LA records were lost pre-1905, so that can be a problem. But at least more recent stuff like demo permits should be there.
Protip: when searching an address in DBS make sure you've checked every last variation of the address (in the upper left hand side of the Zimas listing) especially if that property is on a corner.
Don't know if any of this helps, PM me if you need screenshots of stuff perhaps? N

Q: SQL Server connection error - Data source name not found and no default driver specified When running a third party developed EXE located on the shared folder of Windows Server 2012 R2, which connects to SQL Server 2012 Express, the following error occurs:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.

When the EXE is 'Run as Administrator' it works fine. But this application interfaces with Office and other programs, so running as administrator puts it into protected memory space that conflicts with other applications. I need it to open normally, as before.
This error has only occurred since client workstations had Windows 10 1803 and higher installed. Bizarrely, workstations that updated to 1803 and higher are unaffected. Only on new installs has the problem occurred.
There was something about 1803 which changed the network stack, client side, that caused a lot of different problems for SQL connections and I have seen a hundred different solutions but none work in our case.
Client machines connect to Server 2012 using domain login accounts. Each domain user account is given local admin rights and full administrator rights. The client workstations are normal Windows 10 Pro install with ESET antivirus. When testing the ODBC connection, it is successful and works. Only when running the program does the error occur.
On the Server side I have.... Enabled Named Pipes, Disabled and Removed SMB1.0
So what is going on here? Why from 1803 on must we run as administrator to get a connection?

A:
Data source name not found

I would first check if the Data Source is defined below "User" or "System" .
If it is User for the Administrator there is no way to access it except if the user previously run it by using the option "Run with administrative permission"
In case it is defined as System DSN likely the user after 1803 does not have enough permission to access the registry where it is stored, so this is the most probable case scenario.
The optimal is to see if you can modify your connection using OLE or something else rather than ODBC so it can be DNSless, eventually try to define a DSN with the same name below User with the same user who is running it that should be read before the framework is going to look for the same DSN name under the system / local machine registry section.
To troubleshoot deeper registry permission issues you can use the former Sysinternals procmon downloadable from MS website, this must executed using "Run with administrative permission"

Advance quality initiatives by monitoring process measures for episodes of care. Appropriateness of care is patient specific, but understanding care variation based on clinical guidelines can improve outcomes. Was the patient screened for VTE, when was corticosteroid administered, when did the patient receive a low dose of aspirin for preeclampsia? These are just a few key metrics that will help.
Monitoring facility resources can lead to increased productivity and better utilization of resources. Analyzing turnaround time by study type, personnel, department, equipment, and site can generate findings for improvement. These improvements can lead to increased revenue by providing additional patients to be scheduled and lead to increased patient satisfaction as wait times are decreased.
Accurate patient billing and ensuring the appropriate items are included in the patient's charges have always been a challenge. HealthView Analytics provides an auditing of the patient bill that can provide immediate feedback if certain items were missed and need to be adjusted before the bill is sent.

The Bermuda High is a high pressure sytem that is only semi-permanent. It is like a wall that hurricanes can't penetrate, so they have to go around it. The Bermuda High has clockwise winds, and it pushes warm, humid air from the gulf through the Eastern United States. The Bermuda High can be found off the east coast of North America in the summer, and it moves east and west as it grows. The Bermuda High can get as large as 2000 miles across and 100 miles high. The Bermuda High moves the hurricanes around its edges, and it usually leads them to move up the East coast and back to sea. The hurricanes will travel west towards the United States, but as they get caught in the High, they move north and away. Since the Bermuda High determines the path of the hurricane, it can be used to predict where the storms will hit land. For example, the sooner the hurricanes turn the northern edge of the High, the less likely they are to hit the United States. The Bermuda Higth can also affect the strength of the storms. If the Bermuda High is weak, it will not cool the waters properly, and the warmer surface temperatures will give more power to the hurricanes.
El Nino is a temporary change in the climate of the ocean, and it occurs near the equator. You will see an El Nino every 3-7 years in the winter, and they can last for more than a year. An El Nino is formed when the trade winds relax. Normally, the wind will blow strongly from the east to west, piling up water in the west. This makes that water warmer. While the west is getting warmer, the east gets colder. However, in an El Nino, the winds weaken and allow some of the warm waters to flow back to the east, making it warm again. El Nino affects hurricanes because of the warm surface temperature. The warm water creates clouds and storms over the ocean, and these conditions can eventually create a hurricane. The warm water fuels the hurricane for a long time, especially since an El Nino only needs warm water and weak trade winds to grow. An El Nino also has other effects, too. They bring wet winters to the southern US, and droughts to other places of the world. An El Nino can usually be predicted up to 12-18 months in advance. This data is very important for making predictions about weather conditions, such as strong hurricanes.
A La Nina is basically the exact opposite of an El Nino. The only similarity is that they both occur in winter. A La Nina is classified by the colder than usual ocean temperatures, and they bring weather variations. During a La Nina, it is wetter in the northwest US, and it is dryer in the south US.
Water temperature can be changed easily. It can change because of an El Nino or even just by the weather outside. Water temperature is, simply put, the temperature of the water. Many scientists are worried about the increase in ocean water temperatures because of Global Warming. However, this rise in temperature is very good for the creation of hurricanes. The warmer the water is, the more clouds and storms there are, and when these things are present, it is very easy to create a hurricane. Once a hurricane is started, it feeds of the water heat and energy. When the water is warm, the water vapor creates rainfall, and that fuels the hurricane. However, if you were to take away the warm water, hurricanes would not be able to form. As you can see, just the smallest change in water temperature can change many weather conditions!

Beware the to-do list rabbit hole. It starts off with one or two innocent reminders and ends up with you tumbling down a long hole of procrastination in search of the perfect system. After many years of trying different software Im glad to say that Im finally climbing back out of the hole wearing a rather dashing Cheshire Cat pelt.
The great thing about to-do and check lists is that, not only can you pretend youre working for NASA (I recommend a spiral bound notebook and walking around as if under low gravity), but they also keep your Procrastination Monkey occupied (they help you focus).
It was David Allens Getting Things Done (GTD) book which sent me tumbling and, from that point on, no to-do list would be complete without an inbox, projects, subtasks and checklists. Oh, and it needed to be cross platform so I could use it on OSX, Windows and Android. I had about as much chance of finding the perfect to-do list as I would have finding a needle in a haystack whilst the haystack was on fire. Toasty.
Although Im a fan of writing things down to help me remember (just take a look at my notebooks), I prefer something of the digital variety to track my tasks. I tried Remember The Milk and Wunderlist (no subtasks at the time), Things (perfect but not cross platform), NirvarnaHQ (I cant even remember why I gave this up) and Doit.im (everything I needed but it didnt feel nice to use). Eventually, 6 years after I read the book, Todoist and Google Keep were built.
Todoist was perfect - it embraced GTD, felt well built and was cross platform. I eagerly started using it for work. Around the same time we started using a Kanban board to keep track of our tasks. My tasks were all on this board. Gradually I forgot to open my perfect GTD app in the morning. After all that time I had no need for it.
On the other hand I was actively using Google Keep for my personal to-do list. I used one card as an Inbox and transferred 3 tasks across to a new card each day. It was quite satisfying keeping the completed cards around but transferring tasks was a pain, and at the time there was no iPad app.
I had reached peak rabbit hole. Just like I have with this analogy. Woe is me!
We had used Trello at work in the spirit of throwing everything against a wall to see if anything would stick. Trello made a satisfying splat in our initial enthusiasm but began a sad, smeary journey down the figurative wall and was eventually ignored because no one wanted to clean it up. I was a bit sceptical to say the least. However, Trello aced my Google Keep system: it was cross-platform, the tasks (represented as cards) had checklists, comments and labels, they could easily be moved from column to column or board to board. Trello ended up being a joy to use.
At first I created a Do board and set up 3 columns: Inbox, Today and Done.
I then went on to create a set of Feeder Boards which would keep track of projects and similar tasks. These would feed into the Do board. I also created a set of rules to fine tune the system.
As with any to-do list system, adding all the tasks into one Inbox means it can get too long to manage. Breaking the tasks into their own boards based around themes helped make the system more manageable and meant they could have their own rules. Im thinking about creating one for spring cleaning joy.
Want (kids, more time with parents, more independence) - I felt these in my gut.
Maybe (marriage, travel, garden) - A nice-to-have but not a priority.
After reading Paul Grahams article The Top of My Todo List, I realised my Want board didnt look corny enough so I decided to label some of the cards as Dreams (unfortunately Trello does not have rainbow labels or cloud shape cards).
If I catch myself daydreaming about a particular item on the board I mark the card with a label. For instance, I sometimes catch myself thinking about sitting on a porch looking out at the starry night sky or running a pizza joint. By adding these to the board and labelling them Im, at the very least, giving myself a chance to investigate them.
The Want board also has discover and review columns. I also try to write ideas on how to get what I want sooner and what the value of the task is.
Brace yourself for something which sounds like its fallen off the back of a self-help wagon: in the spirit of the lean in and celebrate my achievements parts of my Life Philosophy (I just shuddered a little bit), I wanted to encourage myself to try things which might make me feel uncomfortable to help boost my confidence.
The Boost board would also double up as a place to keep track of my achievements, however small. Without this board Im pretty sure I wouldnt have donated blood for the first time, gone on a couple of long bike rides, handed in my notice at work or fixed a hole in my Chinos instead of buying a new pair. Does looking over these small achievements make me feel invincible in the face of anxiety? Hell no, but its worth a try.
I created this board to investigate different careers. If anything takes my fancy, no matter how random, I add a new card to this board. I then spend an hour researching that career and will stick it either in a Maybe column (for further research down the line) or Nope. I write on each card why I do or do not want to do this particular career for future reference.
A nice example of this board working is when I investigated being a paramedic. Im happy to admit that intense pressure, broken bones, blood and taking care of drunk people are not my cup of tea. In the Nope column that card went, but not without giving me the idea to do a first aid course. I stuck that idea in my Boost board and got it done last year.
The more Ive been using this system, the more Ive realised it needs some fine tuning and these rules tend to help.
It can be disheartening if it doesnt look like youre getting through many tasks. I set an arbitrary limit of 20 on the inbox. If I want to add a new task then I have to remove another.
I also added a maximum of 2 tasks to the Doing column to be done that day (I can do more if I get the first 2 complete). I tried upping this limit to 4 but I wasnt getting through the task after a full day of work and it would make me anxious and grouchy in the evenings.
I have a Review repeating task, which sits at the bottom of the Do inbox, and gradually moves up as I clear it. Once the Review task is at the top I review all the Feeder Boards and fill up the Do inbox with new tasks, then move the Review back to the bottom.
I have a couple of a repeating tasks, like Re-organise, which always stay in the inbox and have their own label. When a repeater hits the top of the inbox, Ill duplicate the new card in the Today column and move the repeater to the bottom.
I found that by having a reminder why I was doing a particular task would help jump start me into doing it. So I try to add the value of the task into the description. This is a great time for using the 5 Whys technique if Im not sure.
A couple of the Feeder Boards have a Discover column. This is for large tasks which need research. When a task moves into the Discover column, I create a new Discover task in the Do board. Once that Discover task is done, I will have a set of subtasks I can add to the original card. The original card moves from Discover column into the Doing column and I add the first subtask to the Do Inbox - if there is space during the review phase.
A new idea Im trying is to take a month off every fourth month in a year, and clear out my inbox. Once in a while its nice not to be beholden to the to-do list. I found that I would have the occasional month of low productivity in which I would just ignore my list and this made me feel guilty. So it made sense to give myself a break!
I've slowly dragged myself out the procrastination hole and I'm pretty happy with my current to-do list system. Its not perfect, the names of the boards are pretty terrible, but Im happy to end my search with Trello and keep on tweaking. Well that is until David Allen writes GTD 2: The Return of the Repeating Task.

Erdoğan, Trump discuss developments in Idlib, Syria
August 29 2019 09:19:52
ANKARA- Anadolu Agency
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone early on Aug. 29 with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump, according to Turkey's Presidential Communications Directorate.
Erdoğan and Trump discussed developments in Syria, particularly in Idlib province, as well as bilateral relations, the directorate said in a statement.
It emphasized that both countries agreed on protecting civilians in Idlib and to continue to cooperate to avoid a new humanitarian crisis in the region.
Turkey and Russia agreed last September to turn Idlib into a de-escalation zone where acts of aggression are expressly prohibited.
Under the deal, opposition groups in Idlib would remain in areas where they were already present, while Russia and Turkey would carry out joint patrols in the area to prevent a resumption of fighting.
The Syrian regime and its allies, however, have consistently broken the terms of the ceasefire, launching frequent attacks inside the zone.
The two leaders also reiterated their resolve to increase the bilateral trade volume to $100 billion, the statement said.
Erdogan also said he was pleased with the steps taken at the recent G7 summit regarding Iran, the statement said.
He also touched on the appointment of new U.S. Ambassador to Turkey David Michael Satterfield, who presented his letter of credentials on Aug. 27.
New US envoy presents credentials to President Erdoğan
Trump nominated Satterfield as the country's ambassador to Turkey in February. The U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination in late June.
The last American ambassador to Ankara was John Bass, who served from 2014 to 2017.
Bass left Turkey in October 2017 amid a visa crisis between Washington and Ankara. The post had since been vacant.
Erdoğan also spoke on Aug. 28 to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson over phone, according to Turkey's Presidential Communications Directorate.
Erdoğan and Johnson discussed the developments especially in Syria's Idlib and Libya, as well as bilateral relations, the directorate said in a statement.

The Desktop Critic: The Simplicity Backlash
By David Pogue
Macworld JAN 31, 1999 4:00 pm PST
Shortly after the imac became the numero uno jaw-dropping record-smasher of all time, a funny thing happened. People began to believe that it is a whole new breed of machine–not a Mac, not even a computer, but some kind of cool-looking, super-simple Internet appliance. One stranger after another e-mailed me: "Are you going to write The iMac for Dummies?"
I'd reply: "You don't need such a book. Macs for Dummies has everything you need."
And they'd write back: "Oh, too bad. Well, maybe the bookstore has something on iMacs."
I'd sit there dumbfounded that Apple's marketing has been so effective in convincing the public that the iMac is something utterly new. (And believe me, it's been a long time since anyone used the words "effective," "Apple," and "marketing" in the same sentence.)
But come to think of it, the iMac isn't the only startling (although delightful) marketing phenomenon we've witnessed lately. How about the PalmPilot? This gadget is neither the cheapest, smallest, nor the most-featured handheld computer–yet it commands 65 percent of all palmtop sales, trouncing even Microsoft's PalmPilot look-alikes. Other palmtops have color screens, built-in modems, keyboards, PC Card slots–but not the PalmPilot. Have consumers lost their minds?
Not a bit. The iMac and the PalmPilot are both winners in a contest that many manufacturers don't even realize they're playing: the simplicity war. The iMac's success isn't based on price alone (plenty of Wintel boxes are cheaper still), nor on speed (plenty of Macs are faster), nor on its looks, great as they are. The one thing it's got over all other personal computers is the simplicity factor. In this regard, Apple's ads hit the nail on the head: you literally take this thing out of the box, plug it in, and turn it on.
Now that people can understand. The iMac comes closer than ever to the appliance Steve Jobs has dreamed about making since 1984. With any other computer, consumers must face the fear of the unknown (and the fear of assembly). But the iMac sets up like a cordless phone.
Simplicity has more than emotional payoffs, though: it also confers terrific technological benefits. The iMac has no SCSI jack–iMac owners will never have to experience the headaches of termination, SCSI IDs, and cable math. (Indeed, no cables at all snake out from behind the machine–the phone and keyboard cables are the only ones that protrude, and they come out of the much more accessible side of the iMac. Why did it take the computer industry 20 years to think of that?)
Similarly, the PalmPilot, in its sweet gray-scale way, runs for two or three months on a pair of AAA batteries–compared with the 15 to 20 hours you can get out of a color Windows CE palmtop. And because its operating system is so compactly designed, the software programs available for it are models of stability and concise coding. A 75K PalmPilot application is considered a behemoth.
In other words, there's a simplicity backlash in this country, and clever tech companies are making millions from it. But wherever there's money to be made, one company is sure to show up to feed at the trough. Guess who?
"Simplicity is now a jihad at Microsoft," spokesman Greg Shaw told U.S. News & World Report. Bill Gates himself is leading the charge. After Windows gave him a typically ridiculous error message ("The DHCP client could not obtain an IP address"), he pounded out a 14-page memo outlining the company's new simplicity campaign, and e-mailed it to all Microsoft executives.
Now that's news; Microsoft and "simplicity" have never appeared in the same sentence before. Has Microsoft finally realized the error of its bloated ways? Has it finally recognized the value of tight, streamlined coding that serves a focused purpose?
Nah. Call me cynical, but excuse me: where was Microsoft's aversion to software bloat during the years when it was selling us 150MB software? Sounds like Microsoft, having watched its products approach end-stage featuritis, has realized that there's only one way it can keep selling us upgrades: by starting to remove the layers of complexity it's spent the last 15 years piling on. What a strategy! You know what? It can't lose.
No matter; I applaud simplicity in technology wherever it may be found. Besides, I can't criticize Microsoft for trying to capitalize on the simplicity movement–my latest book, The iMac for Dummies, just came out.

Combat boots make symbolic journey from Quebec City ahead of D-Day anniversary
CTV Montreal
Ken Dow CTV News Montreal Multimedia Technician
Published Friday, May 24, 2019 1:52PM EDT

A pair of boots will begin a very special journey on Sunday.
The combat boots will travel on a train departing from Quebec City, one of several taking part in the "Journey Across Canada" project to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
Fourteen trains making their way to Halifax will each symbolically carry a pair of combat boots as a tribute to Canadians from all walks of life who made the journey across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and landed at Juno Beach to join the Allied forces in the invasion of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944.
As the D-Day anniversary approaches, Veterans Affairs Canada, Via Rail, Parks Canada and various community organizations are holding several "departure ceremonies" across the country. Via Rail trains, each carrying a pair of boots, have been travelling to Halifax from various locations since March.
The reaction to the ceremonies, which include the participation of Second World War veterans, has been "very positive," said Robert Loken, national manager of commemorations at Veterans Affairs Canada.
"It has been a beautiful experience watching youth engage with veterans, asking questions, asking for autographs. They don't want to lose the chance to talk to someone who lived the real story, be it the adventure of train travel, or landing at Juno Beach. They are heroes in the eyes of these kids," said Loken.
Equally, veterans have been "truly honoured" by the initiative, he said. "Although it is difficult for some to share stories, they have been thrilled to speak of their experiences with children, who in turn, will tell their friends."
The 14 pairs of combat boots will be presented at commemorative ceremonies in Halifax on June 6. One pair will make the journey to France for ceremonies at Juno Beach on the same date.
The departure ceremony in Quebec City will take place on Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., at Gare du Palais Station. The event is open to the public.
On June 6, 1944, Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to open the battle to Germany from the west. Victory at the Normandy campaign came at a bloody cost, with Canadians suffering the greatest amount of casualties of any other division in the British Army Group.

Nurses Announce To Implement Proposed Strike In 2 Phases
By Fatou Touray Last updated Oct 4, 2021
Sanna Darboe
National Association of Gambian Nurses & Midwives
The National Association of Gambian Nurses & Midwives [NAGANM] have announced to implement in 2 phases, their planned sit down strike effective Wednesday.
NAGANM stated that the first phase of the planned sit-down strike would start at 8am from 1st to 3rd September during which all departments, except the Emergency Department, Labour Ward, Dialysis Unit, Intensive Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, and Operating Theatre, would close. While the second phase would start on 4th September until their allowances are paid.
"After thorough analysis of the payments made by the Ministry of Health, the National Executive Committee arrived at the obvious conclusion that [the] Ministry's decision to pay a handful of nurses was targeted to halt the sit-down strike rather than address the entire situation. Having had more than 100 days to honour the agreement brokered at the State's House with SG and Head of Civil Services, Ministry of Health has no genuine excuse for not meeting the agreed deadline for payments to be disbursed. From 11th May – 31st August, 2021 was enough time if it really mattered to them," the Association said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
"[A] complete sit-down strike! No nurse in The Gambia will report to work. We urge all nurses to respect the decision today and the subsequent decisions," the statement added.

The Documentation and Archive Foundation of the Vicariate of Solidarity (Fundación de Documentación y Archivo de la Vicaría de la Solidaridad) is a non-governmental organization whose main goal is to preserve and manage the documents, publications, images, and media clippings collected by the former and by the organization that replaced it, the Vicariate of Solidarity.
These files are considered part of the history and heritage both of Chile and the Church of Santiago. They are available to the public as instruments of reconciliation and cooperation, with the aim of building a society based on truth, justice and the respect for human rights.
The organization also collaborates with the judiciary and the information contained in its files has been used to prosecute crimes against human rights in Chile's recent history.

History
In October 1973, Cardinal Raúl Silva Henríquez, along with representatives from other churches, created the (Comité Pro Paz), an organization that provides legal and social help to the victims of Chile's military dictatorship and their families.
The Committee for Peace was replaced on January 1 of 1976 by the Vicariate of Solidarity, which has continued the work started by the Comité Pro Paz. It worked throughout the military dictatorship and finally closed on December 31, 1992. The 20-year project documenting the cases of victims contain valuable information and represents the biggest sources of information about human rights in Chile.
When the Vicariate of Solidarity closed, it in turn was replaced by the, which was founded on January 1, 1993. It was created to preserve the documents and information collected by the Vicariate of Solidarity and the Committee for Peace about human rights violations committed between September 1973 and March 1990.

Files and archive
One of the Foundation's goals is to collaborate in the reconciliation and creation of a society based on truth, justice and respect for human rights. In line with this, it created a national archive that brings together the biggest collection of evidence (documents, pictures, forensic reports, testimonies and physical samples) from the military regime. The files were all collected during the period when the human rights violations were taking place and the organizations that collected them are highly regarded both in Chile and abroad, which makes them a highly valued source of evidence for governmental, judiciary, parliamentary and NGO organisations among others.
The files have being organized and classified according to their type and use:
 1.- Legal Information Centre
Contains 45,000 legal files, each representing one person attended by the Vicariate of Solidarity or its predecessor. These documents are generally copies but in many cases they are unique originals and include habeas corpus files, extradition processes, investigations into torture, kidnap, murder and forced disappearances. It also includes complaints to international organizations. In total, there are more than 85.000 documents.
 2.- Microfilm Centre
Contains microfilm of confidential documents or documents from the Legal Information Centre that are more difficult to copy.
 3.- Digital File
Contains information about repressive action that occurred after 1984 and the legal action taken in these cases. There is also information about human rights violations that ended in death or disappearing of the victim. It covers the period from 1973 to 1990.
 4.- Public Document Centre
A library containing: 4,200 human rights titles; 4,000 human rights documents edited by the Vicariate itself and other Chilean and international organizations; 84 journal titles (59 Chilean and 25 foreign); 687,000 clippings from the Chilean media from 1973 to the present, classified by topic; and a photo and video archive holding more than 200 documentaries and films about human rights.

Semi-annual report
In order to share information and report on human rights violations, the "Documentation and Archive Foundation of the Vicariate of Solidarity collects and publishes the most relevant figures every half year. These reports are available to the public and can be consulted by Chileans or by foreign persons or organizations related to the cause of the human rights.

Name on A Station
It is more than a century since James Connolly lived, worked and died.
In 1912 he founded the Irish Labour Party with Big Jim Larkin. Four years later as leader of the Irish Citizen Army he signed the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and on 12th May 1916, wounded and strapped to a chair, he was executed by a British military firing squad.
Connolly took a broad and generous view of how people of differing political views could agree to campaign together to solve a single priority issue. With nationalists, he was part of the committee formed in 1898 to commemorate the 1798 Rising. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the Irish language and a strong voice in favour of votes for women.
Ahead of his time and in advance of the more progressive political attitudes of today, he was a convinced feminist. In his day, he was described as 'the soundest and most thorough-going feminist of all the Irish Labour men'. In his wonderful book 'The Reconquest of Ireland', he summed up his view:
'The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave'.
As a socialist he believed that life is a constant struggle between 'Haves' and 'Have Nots' and he stood with the 'Have Nots'. Connolly envisaged a society where economic and political power would pass to the 'Have Nots', who would form a co-operative society where wealth, resources, education and opportunity would be shared fairly by all – 'from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs'.
In his other great work 'Labour in Irish History', Connolly argued that in the struggle to free Ireland only the 'Have Nots' could be relied on to finish the task. The 'Haves' have always reached a cosy accommodation with foreign oppressors. He believed that 'The cause of Labour is the cause of Ireland; the cause of Ireland is the cause of Labour'.
As General Secretary of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union (a predecessor of SIPTU), Connolly fought for better pay and conditions for unskilled workers – the precarious workers and 'zero hours' contracts of his day – women and men who, literally, stood in line each morning so that the bosses could decide who would work that day or not.
The struggle of the 'Have Nots' for justice continues today, for example the rights of women and LGBTQI, the search for an agreed 32-county Ireland, etc. The Covid-19 crisis has also shown us that the least paid workers are still the most important in our society – but are mostly ignored by 'The Haves'. These are the 2020 versions of the issues James Connolly faced. So, his ideas and life's work are more relevant today than ever. Not perhaps as a 'cut-and-paste' blueprint or detailed plan of action, but as a set of ideals and principles to inspire us to live, work and campaign for what he believed in.
When you think about it, then, Connolly today is much more than just a name on a train station. He remains alive and relevant in his works 'The Reconquest of Ireland' and 'Labour in Irish History', making him more than a 1916 rebel, an address, or a man restrained in his time.

Solid-Core fenders are available in six small to medium marine sizes and custom sizes, all performance engineered to withstand heavy marine use. They are often the perfect solution for storm conditions, having the potential to hold their placement position and outperform pneumatic units during severe weather.

So which beer was best? With such a wide range (see below) it was very hard to choose. The Marble Lagonda? One of the Tiny Rebels or the Magic Rocks? The very lovely Kissingate Toffee Cog?
A completely unscientific straw poll picked out one of the first beers to run out – the entirely unofficial champion beer of the 26th Hanover Beer Festival is the Marble "Earl Grey", a beer that surprised and delighted nearly everyone who tried it.
This is the house beer at Craft Beer Co pubs, brewed exclusively by Kent. Citrusy and resinous hops are elegantly married to slender, delicately honeyed malts to make a wonderful session beer.
Golden colour with a light citrus hop nose, bitter lightly citrusy taste and a long bitter slightly dry finish. Brewed using only Chinook hops from the USA.
A 'green' hop beer with 1.5kg of fresh East Kent Goldings hops per cask, this is an easy drinking and refreshingly bitter lower ABV beer from this new brewery, established in 2012.
A superb mix of Maris Otter pale, Munich and Carapils malts along with East Kent Goldings, Styrian Goldings and Cascade hops. Combining Maris Otter, the best British ale malt, with malts normally used in the finest continental lagers results in a beer with good body, caramelised undertones and a distinct gold colour. This fine recipe gives a beer that will appeal to ale drinkers and lager drinkers alike.
Tart gooseberry and soft peach on the nose. Gooseberries and fruit to taste, before an intense bitterness that's as sharp as a macaw's screech!
A pale ale with spicy, grassy aromas and a taste of grapefruit and apricot. Undercurrent is part pale, part oats and part caramel barley. Her swirls of bold, bready and nutty malt whirl into a concoction of spicy, citrus, floral hops. Mystery lurks in those Cascade and Palisade hops.
This 'Maori Pale Ale' came together after months of experimentation with a very unique hop – Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand. Strong grape flavours are complimented by the sweet Munich malt, making this beer crisp and refreshing.
An India pale ale with a golden malt base complimenting a quadruple addition of hops, all of which precede a floral and bitter finish. A proud contemporary classic, just like its name sake the 1927 Lagonda.
A legendary 'South Pacific Pale' from one of the UK's leading craft breweries. This single hop golden blonde beer has an exquisite passionfruit, gooseberry and mango aroma. An initial sweetness and full body are balanced by a lasting grapefruit-like bitter finish. With this recipe, Thornbridge were the first UK brewery to utilise the now very popular Nelson Sauvin hop from New Zealand.
Siren's take on the ubiquitous American IPA style. The resulting beer is full of massive, punchy new world hop notes and a lingering bitterness that will transport you to the Golden State!
This ever-popular beer blends Centennial, Liberty, Cascade, and Citra aroma hops by the sack full – and is then dry hopped during conditioning using Dark Star's 'Hoptimizer' (Industrial sized hookah).
Most of you will be familiar with this special release from Dark Star. Highly anticipated, with a huge malt bill to start, this beer is then heavily hopped with Simcoe in the boil and dry hopped with fresh 'green' Target hops after fermentation.
Another cask of this beer for the second day of the festival as this beer will fly out.
Very aromatic beer with citrus flavours. Made with huge quantities of Amarillo hops.
From the Welsh upstarts who founded their brewery in 2012, nothing about this beer is subtle but it does have a sweet name; 'Cwtch' is a translation of a Welsh phrase meaning 'snuggle'. Expect a great balance between the grapefruit and pine tastes of the hops and the burnt raisin of the malty backbone.
A deep ruby red beer, with dark malt providing real depth of body as a canvas for the hops, including Simcoe and Centennial, for a rich and deep finish.
5 types of malt and 6 types of hops make for a truly elating experience. Uplifting aromas of grapefruit and pine, combine with a pithy orange and pronounced citrus flavour which is balanced against a deeply rich and malty body. A satisfyingly dry and crisp finish offers your taste buds redemption. This red ale will take you to heaven and back.
Heralded as a classic Best style, this beer is smooth with light toffee and caramel characters, a mixture of floral and spicy hop notes and a pleasing bitter finish.
A fresh ruby ale, dark and nutty. "A taste of Kent".
A full and flavoursome dark mild. Subtle additions of real black cherries in Muscavado with light Amarillo hopping provide a truly wonderful taste experience.
A dark bittersweet ale with an aroma of caramel malt. Taste of rich caramel malts with a touch of toffee leading to a good bitter hoppy finish.
This is the ultimate Stout. A touch of oatmeal gives it a dark and smooth silkiness that makes it eminently drinkable. Coffee and vanilla essence provides this beer with an after dinner taste and rich aroma.
Silver Top is a cream stout with an easy drinking taste. It is brewed using a unique combination of Maris Otter, Crystal and roasted malts, with Challenger and Bramling Cross hops. The result is a stout that has a rich smell of Autumn fruits and a smooth taste. A sweet toffee body carries notes of liquorice balanced by the bitterness of plain chocolate and a hint of coffee.
Multi Award winning smooth Stout. Smooth chocolatey sweetness balancing coffee bitterness with hints of dark fruits for a sublimely rich and smooth taste.
A roasty yet creamy mouthfeel from the addition of ground Arabica during the boil. This beer has the roasted bitterness you'd expect from coffee with a subtle sweetness in the finish.
This smoked oat stout has all the characteristics of a heavy night out – Complex, dark, with hints of smokiness and perfume aromas. A blend of 9 malts matched up with a firmly hopped back bone make this a very self assured stout.
A blend of 4 malts and bags of whole hops delivers a decadently deep and indulgent experience. A luxuriously smooth mouthfeel is followed by spicy hop notes and full flavours of chocolate, liquorice, blackberries and figs. The finish is rich and satisfying with a lingering roasted bitterness. This stout will convert you to the dark side.
A robust, rich porter with the addition of fresh vanilla. The result is a great balance between roasted bitterness and syrupy sweetness.
A smooth, dark red porter with German malts and hops. Additions of fresh ground coffee and roast hazelnut syrup give this speciality beer, depth and complexity.
This beer is dark, strong and well rounded; the richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring. Take the opportunity and go for the low hanging fruit, this sumptuous beer really is a plum!
This was the first ever Brighton Bier. A robust porter brewed with pure Canadian maple. Aromas of molasses and brown sugar, a rich full body and long dark chocolate finish. Festival organiser Pam is a big fan of this beer, so get in there fast!
A CAMRA gold medal winning London Porter made with 2 pale malts and 3 coloured malts, dark brown/black colour, showing a balance of chocolate and roasted barley, full bodied on the palate with bittersweet liquorice and rich chocolate flavours supported by a lovely creaminess on the finish.
From the Oakham 'Vintage' range this beer has been aged for 6 months. Big, dark malt flavours in this almost black beer combine with a sweet, fruity hop taste to make this strong porter exceedingly drinkable for the strength. Watch out, this is one of Maria's favourite beers, so be quick!
Tiny Rebel provide their take on the Black IPA style with this 'Black Pale', combining lipsmacking tropical and citrus flavours with a slight roasted aftertaste.
A light golden ale, with grainy citrus & marmalade flavours this delightfully drinkable Wheat Beer is brewed with Citra Hops.
A golden coloured ale, combining the full flavour of English pale and crystal malts with Norfolk honey, giving a sweetish, yet full-flavoured ale. The spicy notes of Aurora hops combine well with the honey to give a smooth finish, with a notable sweetness.
This American Amber Ale has beautiful citrus and pine notes. Smooth and velvety, a medium body with hints of roasted hazelnut, toffee and caramel malt flavours.
A light amber beer infused with pomegranate. Crisp toffee apple mouthfeel is balanced with the gathering sherbet bitterness of Pacific Jade and Summit hops.
This Rhubarb Saison, brewed in collaboration with renowned beer writer Melissa Cole, contains Yorkshire Rhubarb to add a hint of sourness. There is earthy spice and fresh vanilla from this naturally hazy Saison. Refreshing on the palate, with a long, satisfying bittersweet finish.
Sponsored by Hanover Christmas Tree Co.
Kees Bubberman from Brouwerij Emmelisse joined the team from Marble to make this mouth-watering India Pale Ale. With timed additions of Earl Grey during fermentation, heavy infused hopping and traditional cask maturing. The result is a citrus fruit aroma, smooth sleek texture, and the hop notes are brilliantly complimented by bergamot and a light tannic finish.
The name's an oxymoron and the beer is complex and stunning. Five malts and six hops combine to provide bitter chocolate flavours with dark roasted fruits. This award winning Black IPA is a classic example of why this style has become so popular.
A soft fruity great value dry white.
Tropical fruit flavours with a dry finish.
A bright juicy unoaked red.

LUKE STEELE'S post-match love-in with the Barnsley fans only heightened the pain of relegation.
The Tykes' hopes of repeating their final day Houdini act of 12 months ago went up in smoke as they slid into League One on the 17th anniversary of their historic promotion to the Premier League.
Ex-Manchester United keeper Steele played his part in attempting to extend the survival bid to the last game - denying Boro with a string of saves until the pressure finally told.
To Barnsley's credit, despite the bitter disappointment, there was no sloping-off without acknowledging the 750 travelling fans there to witness the end of an eight-year Championship rollercoaster ride.
Steele feared the worst as he made his way over to thank those in the away end for their unstinting support. But the 29-year-old found exactly the opposite as the tears flowed on the pitch and in the stands.
He revealed: "Going over to clap the fans at the end was the most emotional thing for me. I expected them to be annoyed and shouting abuse, but it was completely opposite.
"They were applauding us in respect because they knew we'd given our all, and that's hard to see. It makes you feel even more emotional about what's happened. They were fantastic again today, and I feel so upset for them.
"You have that hope throughout the season that you don't expect relegation will come, but when it does, it feels like the worst thing ever. It's an empty feeling and you feel like you've failed."
Steele has made almost 250 appearances in seven seasons at Oakwell, and he added: "It feels like we've failed the club, the fans, and even our families. In the end, we weren't good enough, and this will take some time to get over.
"Everyone's devastated. It was like a morgue in the dressing room after the game. I don't want to sound too dramatic but it was hard to take.
"I've lost an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, but that doesn't come close to the feeling of relegation. The bottom line is that we've not been good enough over the season, so we deserve to go down."
Barnsley were given hope when Jean-Yves M'voto volleyed them ahead from Tom Kennedy's second-half corner. But the lead lasted just 80 seconds as Lee Tomlin fired Boro level from the edge of the box.
Danny Wilson's side had chances to go back in front through M'voto and sub Nick Proschwitz, but paid the price for a lack of cutting edge - the story of their season.
Danny Graham put the Teessiders ahead, before Tomlin wrapped it up with a composed finish from inside the area.
Former Peterborough striker Tomin was part of the Posh side relegated by Barnsley's last-day heroics 12 months ago.
Tomlin insists Boro will be a Championship force next season, and he said: "To be relegated in the final five minutes of last season was hard to take.
"That's in the past and I'm convinced we have what it takes here to get Middlesbrough back into the Premier League."

In Utah, drugs are classified into five different schedules. The lower the number of the schedule, the more dangerous the drug. As such, crimes involving Schedule I drugs will likely be punished more severely than crimes involving Schedule V drugs.
Depending on the type of drug and the type of action involved in the alleged crime, you could be facing either a misdemeanor or a felony. Crimes involving Schedule III, IV, or V drugs are charged as class B misdemeanors. Crimes involving Schedule I or II drugs are charged as felonies.
Because drug crimes range in severity, so do the potential penalties. The judge in your case will carefully assess many factors – such as your previous criminal record, the type of drug involved, or the amount of the drug allegedly possessed – to determine the punishment.

Given the importance of agriculture and farming in our wonderful Constituency, it is no surprise that I have been left in no doubt over the past few years that Brexit means we can set many of our own rules in this area that work best for British farmers – we now truly have the opportunity to take back control for our farmers and deliver a cleaner, greener and healthier environment for future generations. So it was good to see the introduction today of the Agriculture Bill to prepare this vital sector for our post Brexit future – setting out how we will replace the current subsidy system with a new approach where farmers and land managers will be rewarded for 'public goods' such as better air and water quality and higher animal welfare standards. I know from meeting so many of our local farmers just how new technologies can revolutionise farming.
This Bill is also underpinned by measures designed to increase productivity and invest in research and development, helping farmers to become more profitable by saving time and increasing yields, while at the same time helping to reduce their environmental footprint. The government has already announced £23.5 million to be allocated through the Countryside Productivity Grants scheme, and I am delighted that more than £7 million of these small grants will help farmers and rural businesses across the south-west. It was a very good day to be sporting a 'Back British Farming" wheat badge as we celebrate the contribution of our world class farmers and agronomists and plan for the future.
But while we plan, I'm also acutely aware that one pressing current issue for local farmers is concern about the spread of Bovine TB – both locally and nationally the greatest animal health threat we currently face, and one that has the potential to devastate beef and dairy herds, cause harm and distress to infected cattle and cost the taxpayer more than £100 million each year. That is why I am glad that Ministers are delivering a 25-year strategy to eradicate this disease and protect the UK's dairy and beef industries. This includes one of the world's most rigorous cattle surveillance programmes, promoting good biosecurity and badger control to ensure continued progress towards the target of achieving 'Officially Free' status for England by 2038.

At last we understand each other, Ted Roof
November 3, 2009 by WarBlogEagle 4 Comments
I'm very sorry, dearest WBE readers, but I have something to confess: I haven't been completely honest with you regarding my thoughts on Ted Roof.
I would expect the impression this blog has left over the course of the season is that–quarterback-contain issues aside–I've been perfectly happy with Roof's first season as Auburn's defensive coordinator. After West Virginia I noted how his defense hadn't been all that bad aside from the two huge first-quarter plays and made up for it with the series of turnovers. After Ball St. I blamed the backups. After Arkansas I blamed the offense, after Kentucky the same twice over. Even after LSU, I was arguing that Roof's defense was showing promise. I've made note of the lack of bodies and top-end talent Roof has to work with, the difficulty in becoming a unit's third coordinator in three years, the even-greater difficulty of coaching opposite a Gus Malzahn offense that actively works against the defense and special teams that routinely give up chunks of field position.
Which is why I stand by all of those previous statements. Roof's defense, relative to expectations, has been fine. Good, even, at times. But the statement I haven't made is this one: Roof's conservative, nonaggressive, soft-coverage schemes have–until last Saturday–driven me batty.
Not because I'm the type of blitzaholic college football fan who can't stand seeing his team rush four or keep seven in the box on rushing downs. There are times and teams where giving receivers eight-yard cushions, keeping a pair of deep safeties, relying exclusively on your front four, etc. are absolutely the right strategies.
But philosophically, I haven't been able to understand–until last Saturday–how they've been the right strategy for this team. Between the relative lack of blitzes and combination of soft zones and big cushions in coverage, Roof's defensive aim has clearly been to prevent the big play, to keep opponents (as the saying goes) "in front of them." Auburn's generally been happy to back off and let opponents make short completions, run short runs, pick up a couple of first downs, and (hopefully) screw things up themselves before ever reaching the end zone. Just so long as they don't get the big backbreaking play that makes things easy for them.
Again, as a general rule, I don' t have an issue with that approach. (Against particularly incompetent offenses like early-season Tennessee, it's absolutely the way to go.) But for this specific Auburn team? I didn't get it. Our defense is both paper-thin and playing opposite an offense that ignores time-of-possession even when it's working. To have anything left in the tank for the fourth quarter (or even the end of the first half), the goal for the Auburn defense can't just to be to not give up points–it has to be to get off the field as quickly as possible, right?
So I would expect Auburn's defensive philosophy to be the exact opposite of the bend-but-don't-break approach Roof has adopted. Not only would a three-and-out be particularly helpful to this defense as opposed to a 7-play field goal drive, but a long score wouldn't be quite as damaging–obviously giving up points sucks and is never good, but a one-play opponent's touchdown drive would still have the advantage of both getting the defense off the field and putting the opponent's hypothetically-Malzahn-exhausted defense back on the field instead. My thought was that Auburn needs to play a high-risk-high-reward kind of D: put eight in the box, go man-to-man press coverage and blitz, try to force a quick turnover or a three-and-out … and if you slip up and allow the big play, oh well, now the offense comes back out to go track meet on the opposition D some more.
Roof (and Chizik) opted instead for a strategy that would help opponent's time-of-possession, put the maximum amount of stress on his team's limited depth, and help neutralize the exhausting effects of Malzahn's hyperdrive on the opposing defense … which, of course, is sort of the whole point of hiring Gus Malzahn in the first place. So why? More than once this season I've seen Auburn still playing soft coverage underneath even after the opponent has driven into Auburn territory and the offense has been cooling its heels for a few minutes, and wondered seriously, what the hell are we doing?
I'm not going to think that anymore–or at least, nowhere near so often–after seeing Dexter McCluster run for a 79-yard touchdown on Saturday. The most interesting thing about that play was how, from the standpoint of the Auburn defense, how uninteresting it was. A long McCluster touchdown was utterly predictable given that Auburn had already given up identical plays to near-identical players like Noel Devine, Randall Cobb, and Russell Shepard. If that bit of history repeating seems like maybe a fluke of memory and small sample size, it's not–Auburn ranks 108th in the country in allowing running plays of 20 yards or more, and dead last in the SEC.
I can't stress this enough: that's happening with Auburn playing conservatively. What happens if Roof decides to roll the dice and press? Auburn is giving up big plays by the bushelful even with a defensive scheme designed to prevent them–how many would they give up with a defense designed to risk giving them up to start with? We wouldn't be talking about a high-risk-high-reward scheme; it'd be all-risk-no-reward. Auburn would be getting gashed in a way that I'd bet would make the current level of gashed-ness look positively Tubby-stout by comparsion.
The other side of this coin, I suppose, would be the argument that if Auburn's giving up big plays anyway, why not switch to something more aggressive? Because that assumes things couldn't get any worse in this department, and I don't think that's the case; you've heard me list our defensive personnel issues a thousand times, but true-freshman-safety-overaggressive-first-year-linebacker-inexperienced-tackles-now-featuring-converted-first-year-JUCO-corner-at-other-safety doesn't suggest to me that Auburn giving itself even less of a safety net is a good idea.
Things are far from perfect. I still have my gripes. (That QB contain thing, for starters.) I would prefer that as as soon as possible–like next year–Roof would find a way to feel comfortable playing a style of defense that doesn't minimize the strength of its offense.
But as for this year? I think this is about as good as it's going to get.

jrsuicide says
all that soft coverage crap makes my brain meltdown. when you are as talentless as this team you've gotta blitz like crazy and hope that you can get some sacks or cause some turnovers. now that we've lost ANOTHER member of our secondary it's just gonna be even more of an issue. the way Auburn let the Vols get easy scores in the 4th quarter had me screaming at my tv like a fool. i just don't get it, at all.
WokDontRun says
They can't "blitz like crazy" when they have only 3 LBers. Blitzing makes the LBers really tired. If they even blitzed on every other play, they would be gassed by the early 2nd quarter. And if you blitz on every play the other team will figure it out and burn you with the hot route.
This looks like the same D AU has ran for years under Tuberville. It is the Tampa 2. Only difference in they really need pressure from the front four, which they got on Saturday. The Colts D can look bad at time, has trouble stopping the run, b but is good when it get pressure.
That is why Chizik is bring in some good DEs with speed. Now he needs at least 2 more good DTs. Also need some safties now that 3 starters are hurt.
choochooAU says
thanks for the therapy. as the numbers and statistics reveal, this is the worst defense in the history of Orange — that goes back to when Noah landed the boat, boys and girls. the whole philosophy thing, which you cast out of the shadows, is just ONE thing. the fact that our players generally think this is touch or flag football is ANOTHER. have you seen, collectively, a better clinic on how NOT to tackle? Lombardi said it: football is only two things – blocking and tackling. Knute Rockne added "and execution based on timing, rhythm and deception." obviously, Malzahn got the memo. RedRoof was out to lunch when these details were covered in coordinator school. I would hazard that yards-after-contact (yards after muff) is pretty nearly equal to total rushing yardage for our opponents. our young-and-eager-ritelin-riddled-defense frequently MAKES CONTACT in the backfield, but that tag-your-it-sh*t doesn't draw the whistle. granted, there were a few highlight reel tackles versus Ole Miss, but generally "what we do" is muff arm tackles.
TedH'64 says
Some of our fans need a dose or reality….expecting this to be a "typical Auburn defense" is beyond belief. We have walk-ons, guys who never played in the SEC, Freshmen and JC transfers who are are trying to learn Roof's system and coming to grips with the speed of Div 1 football…not to mention a series of really bad injuries that have removed valuable players from the rotation. And the few experienced players are getting no rest (see article on Stephens). Come on folks…give Roof and the players a break.

Options Trading Volume Continues Growth
By Terry Flanagan
Through the month of September, 2011 continues to see substantial equity options trading volume growth.
Investors continue to turn to options as market volatility remains high.
The Options Industry Council announced that total options trading volume for September was 391.2 million contracts, 29.5 percent higher than the 302.1 million seen a year earlier. Average daily volume stood at 18.6 million contracts, from 14.4 in 2010, also up 29.5 percent.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange is one of the first of the major options exchange operators to post September trading statistics. For the month of September, CBOE Holding's aggregate contracts traded totaled 104.2 million contracts. Average daily volume reached 5 million contracts, up 31 percent from the 3.8 million seen in 2010.
Its main CBOE platform averaged 4.7 million contracts daily, up 25 percent. The most gains were seen in the trading of exchange-traded fund options (79 percent increase) and index options (up 42 percent).
The volumes seen in September, although a drop off from the all-time highs from August (down 28 percent), were still substantial in terms of yearly growth. Last month, it had 6.6 million contracts traded daily on average, up 88 percent from the prior year period, and a record high. Its CBOE Options, CBOE Futures and C2 exchanges each established new individual monthly volume records as well. Its index and exchange traded funds options, as well as its Market Volatility, or VIX products also reached all-time monthly trading volume highs.
CBOE's market share fell just under 1 percentage point to 25.4 percent, including dividend trades. Its market share for index options continues to have a stranglehold, with 95.7 percent share. Its ETF options and equity options also hold 19.1 percent and 19.5 percent market share, respectively.
CBOE's Futures Exchange trading also saw substantial gains, up 154 percent year-over-year. Its VIX futures volume was up 154 percent to 46,784 contracts ADV, or 982,462 total for the month. Total futures volume for the third quarter was just under 4 million contracts.


The drummer Tyshawn Sorey confounds easy assumptions, including the assumption that because he is a drummer, his own music should favor the drums, or the assumption that because he plays jazz, all of his music should sound like jazz. His new band is a trio with guitar and bass, but it's pretty far from any standard model with that setup.
The group played its first gig ever on Wednesday at the Stone; Mr. Sorey is the guest programmer at that East Village club this month. It performed music from its album "Koan" (482 Music), to be released on Sept. 29, and included some of the quietest improvised music I've heard, with scores as a suggestion, but improvisation as meat on the bones. The lines between the two were at times almost inaudible.
Cumulatively the set had more guitars than drums, and for one long section Mr. Sorey removed himself from the drum kit and watched the other musicians playing nylon-string guitars.
The evening began with the guitarist Todd Neufeld going back and forth between two chords, letting each decay nearly into silence before pushing forward. After several minutes Mr. Sorey entered with a cymbal crash and started a feather-light, minimal drum pattern with a mallet in one hand and a stick in the other, and Thomas Morgan worked double-bass notes into the pattern.
Carefully dissonant, this was music at the sonic level of the creak of a chair or the shifting of a foot on the floor. It didn't imitate wakeful human patterns — walking or talking or running — but instead pushed against each note or beat as if it were a stuck door. It fought for its right to do simple things: make resolutions or establish counterpoint.
The set didn't stay entirely like this. "Correct Truth," before dipping into whispers, began with start-and-stop rhythm and some consciousness-piercing bursts of cymbal. And "Nocturnal" had moments of more alert and interactive improvised duets between Mr. Sorey and each musician.
There has been music very roughly comparable to this, with one foot in ultra-minimalism and one in the free-jazz performance tradition — like the late-1980s record "News From the Shed," by a consort of British improvisers, including the saxophonist John Butcher — but Mr. Sorey's "Koan" music otherwise resists characterization, except as slow and quiet.
External circumstances made this a rough gig for everyone involved. The room, without windows and air-conditioning, became a sauna. Hot breath exhaled from the row behind you felt like cool breeze on your neck. Halfway through, police action began outside the door of the club on Avenue C, involving squad cars and a low-flying helicopter. Accordingly, Mr. Sorey cut the concert short before the album's final piece, "Embed," which is too bad; at least on record it's quite beautiful, the closest this group gets to a jazz ballad. It might have made the band's character even harder to suss out.
The hassle wasn't terrible. Especially appropriate for music with philosophical implications, the outside noise functioned as a cosmic reminder. There are no absolutes. There's no such thing as complete control. There's no such thing as complete comfort. There's no such thing as stillness. There's no such thing as silence.
