The theme of this article in eWeek follows on from my earlier post about the trouble of securing the "computers" we forget about such as routers, etc. Earlier versions of PHP have a severe security risk, effectively allowing an attacker to run unauthorised commands, install malware etc on servers running PHP scripts. This issue gets severely compounded when we have a plethora of connected devices running PHP (needlessly IMO) with no clear system or mechanism for applying security patches to them ("when did you last upgrade your router's firmware?").

Law firms, we are constantly reminded, are 'people businesses'. People are, ultimately, defined by their actions (behaviours), and those behaviours are described by, and modelled by language.
Institutions and organisations use language to drive behaviours, often through totemic expressions which encapsulate complex policies or strategic goals.
We might think of politics ("Make America Great Again" (Donald Trump)), commerce ("Never Knowingly Undersold" (John Lewis)) or industry ("to delight our customers worldwide, all the time" (Audi)).
"Delighting customers worldwide, all the time", for instance, is hugely ambitious, but will mandate certain behaviours among the people charged with making that happen, and creates a measurable framework around which the organisation (Audi) can judge how well it is doing. Consistent application of the philosophy and ironing out the wrinkles should gradually make the statement truer over time.
Other language may be less precise, often with no way of measuring beyond the feelings of those affected ("Make America Great Again") but no less powerful, still able to cause people to behave in a way they feel aligns with the policy on show.
What should, in theory, doom a company (or politician…) is when they say one thing and do another. This doesn't necessarily indicate duplicity; it may simply indicate the failure of the operating environment to provide the conditions necessary for success of the stated policy.
BigLaw – the dominant strain in international legal practice – speaks to both clients and the talent it is trying to attract in the language of grace, understanding and co-operation, but many of those working in BigLaw feel that the operating practices often fall short of the aspirations, and that 'international competition' – the stated reason for the continual ratcheting-up of revenue targets, target hours and fees – is only making things worse.
BigLaw's reaction to this is sanguine, for the most part. Not unreasonably, it feels that the key aim of its strategy – to create the conditions for continuously-improving partnership profits – overrides any other considerations. Its tactical approach, a pincer movement of "if you can't stand the heat…" and handsome salaries for its footsoldiers, is self-fulfilling, weeding out those who just can't hack it and keeping only the 'best'.
Note that I deliberately refer to BigLaw as a homogenous mass, simply because to the usually-inexpert client or uncertainly-informed recruit, law firms of a similar size and service offering can seem pretty interchangeable.
This is perhaps to be expected. Partners in BigLaw have a similar formation – similar educational path, similar social background, a uniformity in training, similar client experiences following operating procedures which are increasingly standardised within industries – and similar goals (money, professional standing etc).
Accompanying this uniformity is also an industry-standard language, not just limited to the kind of technical expressions that every industry has – utilisation, fee-earner, leverage ratio, billable hours etc – but also broad cultural signifiers which have resonance primarily because they stand in opposition to reputational negatives perceived as being common to lawyers in general.
Think about how many law firms claim to be "friendly" or "approachable" (because lawyers are often seen as aloof), "responsive" (because lawyers so often aren't) or "client-focused" (because lawyers are perceived to be relentlessly self-regarding…). You get the idea.
While all law firms may claim to be different – and they are, texturally, at a level of detail which only becomes apparent through long exposure – what they also share, beyond their practically-identical values, is the same primary driver.
It is the most basic of human drives: the need to kill and eat in order to survive.
While society has evolved beyond wearing a bone through the nose and carrying an axe, law firms are still red in tooth and claw, as evidenced by the language which really matters, the internal language of law firms, which drives behaviours at odds with their friendly public face. The big daddy of this lingua advocatorum is the phrase: "eat what you kill".
"Eat what you kill" is the language of the jungle, of cavemen, of primitive, hunter-killer tribes. It is far from the only example of primeval, macho language in common usage in the corridors of BigLaw (think of "big beasts", "600lb gorillas", "big swinging d***s") but in law firm circles this totem is curiously acceptable.
While many firms would baulk at the description as applied to themselves, some actively embrace it, preferring what they see as the honesty – and risk – of an "eat what you kill" environment to the complex and often shady alternatives because, as the old saying goes, "if you're going to stab me in the back, at least have the decency to do it to my face".
As with every professional, from doctors to dentists, lawyers have charged this way for centuries. It really was "eat what you kill" (or "eat what you drill" for dentists, I suppose…) for lawyers for the longest time.
But as law firms were forced to grow beyond cabinet-size in the 1980s and 1990s, to keep pace with burgeoning international M&A and privatisation, the old hunter-killer model no longer seemed fit for purpose, and the operating language modified accordingly.
The concept of "leverage" defined these "pyramid-shaped" firms, and the talk was of sharing clients, of "institutionalising" clients, and of "cross-selling" (known simply as "selling" out in the real world, it being thought inconceivable in any corporate that an executive of the company would ever be doing anything else…).
The lockstep remuneration system beloved of English law firms was reasonably well-suited to supporting these new, modern firms. While the big beasts might still be sitting on top of those pyramids, it was important that their claws were sheathed, metaphorically at least.
Partnerships now styled themselves as "collegiate", conjuring the image of donnish individuals, heads in books, smoking their pipes in some sunny, ivy-strewn quad at Cambridge or Harvard, a community of equals, fully-respectful of one another whether their chosen subject was engineering or ornithology.
English law firm partnerships, getting to grips with the novelty of "lateral hiring" began to define themselves in terms of "finders, minders and grinders", a kind of 'does-what-it-says-on-the-tin' expression which spoke to the hierarchy of the pyramid firm, not just in terms of partners and associates but also within the partner ranks: the "finder" would find the work, the "minder" would look after it, in particular the client's daily needs; and the "grinder" would actually do the grunt work.
This neat little expression also spoke to the move away from the multi-talented 'homme d'affaires' partner of old. Now there were different gradations of partner: finders were the hunters, the clan-chiefs; the minders were trusted to look after clients but lacked the skill to make the kill; the grinder was the asocial document-junkie, kept away from direct client contact unless absolutely necessary, but kept busy processing what the finders found and the minders apportioned.
But did anyone want to be seen in these terms? "Finder", in particular, lacks any kind of visceral appeal, and the big lads needed something to reflect their, well, let's call it "specialness".
And so the newly MBA-obsessed law firms borrowed "rainmaker" from the corporate world; the tribal shaman endowed by the gods with the ability to make water fall from the sky to nourish the tribe and the herds they hunted.
While most reputable scientists now agree that dancing around with an animal skull on your head waving a stick adorned with beads and shells has less to do with the frequency or intensity of precipitation than might be imagined, here at least was a metaphor you could use in polite conversation and which implied no blood on the carpet.
Young lawyers could forgive themselves for becoming a little confused at this point. They were constantly exhorted to learn to "feed themselves", but were often kept away from clients, and would see many in the practice treating rainmakers with a combination of envy and disdain. Not unnaturally they might wonder whether it was possible to spend so much time on business development and be a great lawyer (the reason they'd probably become a lawyer in the first place) at the same time.
The problem, of course, is that the language of the modern, pyramid-shaped law firms – "collegiate", "teamwork" and "cross-selling" – sits at odds with law firms' primary driver.
Let's not beat around the bush: if you have any kind of client-origination system for determining partner profits on an annualised basis, you are operating an "eat-what-you-kill" system.
Every time you exhort young lawyers to learn to "feed themselves" you are perpetuating the hunter-killer model of law. Every time you use the word "rainmaker", you are referencing a magical power, one that every young lawyer needs to develop before they become too long-in-the-tooth, lest they face "de-equitisation", the spectre at the partnership feast.
If you carve up your profits with regard to kills, if you reward people for making kills and creating territory relating to those kills, with subtle or overt systems for defending that territory, you are operating according to this primary driver. Dress it up in whatever lacy, euphemistic language you like, the drive, and the behaviours it inculcates, will overwhelm you eventually.
What should trouble you, if you cling to the notion of modern, pyramid BigLaw, delicate ecologies characterised by complex interdependencies, is that you are losing this war.
Long-gone is the practice of equal shares for all equity partners (I can only think of one large firm which still does it), which is surely the best way to square the circle if you truly believe in, rather than just playing lip-service to, the notion of differential contributions to success of a heterogeneous partnership.
The model which supported the pyramid model, which supported institutionalised clients and which rewarded seniority, loyalty and the pastoral benefits accrued as being part of the furniture – lockstep – has also gone out of the window for the most part.
It may not be just about actual "kills" these days, given how large institutional clients have become, but just as the best hunters and clan-chiefs became landed aristocracy when primitive hunter tribes evolved, so the Big Beasts have become the Lords of the Manor, possessing and carving up territory, to be assiduously farmed by their minions.
This is the market, now. Firms which become too technocratic, which obsess over leverage and process, which fail to sufficiently reward the Big Beasts will see said Beasts head for richer pickings, taking their lands with them. Some of the English Magic Circle have already had to give in to this, choosing to break their own equity structures in order to attract the magical individuals deemed necessary to their survival. As with the City mid-tier, they too must merge or become extinct.
US law firms, in contrast to their English brethren, have always understood how the world really works, and have remained true to their primary driver. Every lawyer coming out of the JD system knows from the off that they have to win clients to become partner and keep them if they want to remain partner.
But is this anything other than human nature expressing itself? In a world which seems to be devolving to tribes, where the "neoliberal consensus" of global interconnectedness may be over, is this not the rational response?
Rather as most of us are aware that when the zombie apocalypse arrives, the ability to run, forage for canned goods and despatch foes, undead or alive, will be more important than the ability to complete The Times crossword in record time or cultivate prize-winning dahlias, those BigLaw partners able to survive know that what matters when it comes down to it is your ability to make the kills, and to be the one who controls who gets the best cuts of meat.
So maybe, reluctantly, it is time for a return to the language of the jungle, red in tooth, claw and blistering honesty, acknowledging that we are all, at heart, predators.

Kate Smurthwaite: We've got people here from different faiths, and they all believe, in some kind of heaven in a different sense, and every single one of them believes in this heaven on the basis of faith, and faith, by definition, is believing in things without evidence. And personally, I don't do that because I'm not an idiot.
Upon hearing the word "idiot" the crowd reacted with gasps, boos, and some cheers. Part of me loved it—the part that enjoys venting my spleen by proxy, the part that enjoys seeing blood on the sand. Such a comment makes quite an implication, though—that because of their religious faith, which requires the suspension of logic and the willful ignorance of evidence, theists are by definition "idiots." I find such a statement simply can't be true without fundamentally redefining the word "idiot" into a way we never naturally use it.
To read the rest of this article on Humanist Network News, click here.
Your punctuation is poor and the source of your quote is H. L. Mencken, not M. L. Mencken. However, I don't see the point of giving you a broad and insulting label based on a relatively narrow area of performance.
I'm not sure what declaring people "idiots," whether deserved or not, is really meant to accomplish aside from making the name-caller feel superior.
It seems more worthwhile to carry on dialogue and try to demonstrate to folks where their reasoning fails and help them see a better way of doing things. Who knows - by listening, we may even gain a measure of respect for what they hold meaningful and why. I don't think values are strictly a matter of logic. There's much more to it than that, and I think that should be respected, even if the views themselves don't make sense.
We may not agree with the religious, and their views may not hold up logically. I don't see why that alone makes them fair game for being insulted - nor anyone else, for not meeting some arbitrary measure of "idiocy." We should be well beyond that."
Off topic observation: Jews don't believe in either heaven or hell. And I'm not sure the Buddhist Nirvana actually qualifies as heaven -- it's more like fulfillment.
It's best not to insult others.
I am going to demur from the consensus on this one. The argument offered is that we should all be polite to the religious and never offend them or truly challenge, because, so the thinking goes if we somehow offend someone then we will never convince that person. The unstated conclusion from this line of reasoning is that if we just all be nice to the religious we will convince them. Really? I have not seen it. Or maybe it is that we can convince them. Well, anything is possible, but again I have not really seen it. Let us say that Smurthwaite was all sweetness and courtesy and presented nothing but politely stated arguments against faith. Would anyone on the panel or in the audience have changed his/her mind? Honestly, this be nice to the religious about their religion line is no more effective than boldly saying that religious ideas are stupid, and perhaps is less effective because it makes the atheist appear unconvinced of his/her own arguments. So, I respectfully disagree with the "be nice" position because I'm not an idiot.


'Memory and Utopia' appears to be like on the connection among reminiscence and forgetfulness in Europe through the 20th century. Drawing on oral historical past and feminist thought and perform, the publication highlights how girls struggled to be well-known as complete matters. the subjects of utopia and wish within the 1968 hobbies of scholars, girls and employees are explored. 'Memory and Utopia' examines the experience of belonging to Europe that has emerged within the final two decades. The ebook analyses eu id as expressed via identities according to gender, age and tradition to discover an inclusive and non-hierarchical subjectivity.
Quine and Davidson are one of the best thinkers of the 20 th century. Their impact on modern philosophy is moment to none, and their impression can be strongly felt in disciplines akin to linguistics and psychology. This booklet is dedicated to either one of them, but additionally questions a few of their uncomplicated assumptions.
During this striking number of essays masking a vast diversity of fields, from Darwinism and the worldwide inhabitants explosion to chook staring at, wonderful scientist and thinker Sir Julian Huxley issues out new frontiers for medical learn and reaffirms his trust within the intimate connection of the sciences, really biology, with the urgent social difficulties of the current and destiny.
Russell Hardin provides a brand new explication of David Hume's ethical and political concept. With Hume, he holds that our normative perspectives could be scientifically defined yet they can't be justified as precise. Hume argued for the mental foundation of such perspectives. particularly, he argued for sympathy because the mirroring of the mental sensations and feelings of others.

A True Panicucci, D'urso, Buonamici and I to talk about the Coronavirus (Photos)
Four women of the television set to True (photos), all to talk about the Coronavirus, to try to bring the calm, the serenity while taking all the necessary measures. In one study without public Silvia University has asked for help to her colleagues inviting you into her living room, Federica Panicucci, Barbara D'urso, Cesara Buonamici, and Alessandra Viero. Immersed in the silence of the study of True the four presenters and journalists have brought their experiences. The first to speak was Barbara D'urso, the first to conduct without an audience; she confided that the first ten minutes it seemed impossible to go on the air without an audience, but then he reflected on the duty to entertain and inform the public, and has accepted. "Optimism is creating a panic that is stopping the Italy, I was the first to eat in the television dolcino chinese, go to the restaurant to the bar otherwise there are families who remain at home. Not svaligiamo the supermarkets".
It has not been easy even for Federica Panicucci which, however, repeats to trust those who know more than us. "By the mother in the daily life of my children to make dens questions. One should not underestimate what they have to say and you have to tell them that yes, it is in a particular moment but we are following some rules to contain it, nothing is going on and that they have to be quiet. In our home there is peace of mind. Milan, you must not stop"
Cesara Buonamici has the most responsibility of all in the information: "The rule is universal, be as precise as possible and the more honest intellectually. We need to give the picture of what that is. This is a complicated situation for all because it is a new virus, we don't know if there will be and when there will be a vaccine. We have seen that they have to be more careful about the people in later years, however, there are many healed. The government wanted to prove to the Country that had taken very seriously all this but now it is understood that those who do not have symptoms does not need to do the pads if it has not been in contact with sick people. In China is falling and this is great news. We also think there is the damage social, and economic".
Alessandra Viero to "True" tells that it has been at the istituto Spallanzani where was carried the first chinese couple who is sick and who is healed. "It is important that they have isolated the virus, we can better understand by studying the genome, we will understand what the most effective treatment". He met the three scientists who have isolated the virus: "A fundamental discovery. There are virologists who work continuously for effective treatment".
Each has tried to make clear, to give the public the information to them, to bring back a bit of serenity and optimism, to avoid unnecessary alarm, but always holding high the guard.

Reviewed: Big Finish's Doctor Who Short Trips – The Shattered Hourglass
Posted By: Elliot Wood
The latest Big Finish Short Trip The Shattered Hourglass is another great example of finding a whole story from a throwaway line of dialogue in a Doctor Who television episode. But I can't say which one, as it leaves a properly big grin on your face once you realise which episode it's taken inspiration from.
It begins at the Time Agency, the institution that Captain Jack Harkness once worked for and which has become a bit of a regular in spin-off media, where Time Marshal Helen Barnes is removing entire galaxies from existence. She is written with huge presence, and the supporting characters certainly work for her, rather than with her, at the agency.
Such powers can't go unchecked, and the Tenth Doctor turns up to question the Time Agency's actions, although quickly gets labelled as the pot calling the kettle black for his own time-changing antics.
Galaxy L-10, home to over a trillion beings, has a 96% chance of being an existential threat to the universe if its occupants discover time travel and that's the rationale behind the Time Marshal's plan to put it in a time-lock. Near-certainty of destructive potential is nowhere near enough of an excuse to condemn the galaxy with the flick of a switch, in the Doctor's mind.
Despite being a totally standalone short trip, the crux of this story feels like it would fit right in to the recent Time Lord Victorious story arc with the exploration of temporal responsibility, how the Doctor sees himself after he assumes the 'Victorious' label, and how cocky and sassy he can be. For reference on that specific character trait, listen to Big Finish's Victorious trilogy featuring the Eighth Doctor.
big-finish · Doctor Who – Short Trips: The Shattered Hourglass (Trailer)
The Time Marshal obviously wants the Doctor out of her way, but once his mouth is open then people are listening, and he uses the gift of the gab to delay Galaxy L-10's fate at the hands the time-locking 30-metre tall hourglass. At one point, the Time Marshal becomes so frustrated that she wants to time-lock the Doctor too.
It's at this point where, after a very nice musical interlude once the Doctor seems to be removed from the action by the Time Marshal, the story turns from set-up into delivery upon delivery of the plot points that have been building up.
The interlude is used handily to show a passing of time before the listener is returned to the action with a Doctor firing on all cylinders. While it's Neve McIntosh reading The Shattered Hourglass, it's written and delivered as if it were David Tennant springing around the scenery on set.
The story gets stronger and stronger as it goes on, and feels very much like a piece of 20th Century science-fiction – in a good way, as if it were from TV Comic – while also tying in brilliantly to the Tenth Doctor's television run. The pièce de résistance is the final reveal of the 35-minute tale, which has the Doctor wandering off with a grin on his face and leaving the listener with the same. A recommended buy.

Team Refugee To Make A First Appearance At Olympic Games
AskMen News Health
Trending News: For The First Time, A Refugee Team Will Compete At The Olympics
Patrick Lejtenyi
Because these Olympics desperately need a feel-good story.
For the first time ever, a team of stateless refugees will compete in the Olympic Games under their own banner.
Long Story
It's not a big team — only 10 members, from five troubled countries. But they will walk together during the opening ceremonies, entering Rio's Maracana Stadium the second to last (if they can get the damn thing unlocked), just ahead of the Brazilian team.
The Team of Refugee Olympians is comprised of five athletes from South Sudan, two from Syria, two from the Democratic Republic of Congo and one from Ethiopia. The six men and four women will compete in judo, athletics and swimming.
Perhaps the best known is Yusra Mardini, originally from Syria. The 18-year-old, who was being supported by the Syrian Olympic Committee, fled her native Damascus when the fighting became unbearable along with sister. The two made their way through Lebanon and Turkey, trying to make their way to Greece. But after the motor on their severely overloaded dinghy failed, the two girls and two others jumped overboard and guided the dinghy to safety, swimming alongside it for three hours in the Aegean Sea. She now lives in Berlin.
"We don't have the same language. We're all from different countries. But the Olympic flag united us together, and now we are representing 60 million [people] around the world. We want to show everyone that we can do anything," she says of her new team.
While Yusra is by far the best known, given her story, her age and her ability to speak English, each of the other nine athletes had to overcome unbelievable challenges to be able to compete in these games.
Here's Sesame Street's lovable furry old Grover explaining why these athletes are awesome.

How It Feels to Have Been Passed Over by Google
Stacey Higginbotham Mar 31, 2011 - 5:00 AM CDT
Updated: Chip Rosenthal headed the grass roots effort to bring Google's (s goog) gigabit fiber network to Austin, and he says the Texas capital was on the short list of cities that received a site visit and were in the final rounds. Unfortunately for Austin (and me since I'd be happy to plug into a fiber-to-the-home network) Google passed over the city and chose Kansas City, Kan. instead. Rosenthal, who is one of seven commissioners on the City of Austin's Technology and Telecommunications Commission (a strictly advisory body), thinks it's because Texas is one of four states that forbids municipalities from getting involved in building networks. And North Carolina is in the middle of approving barriers to municipal broadband deployment this week.
"Austin caught their eye for all the right reasons, and we had support at the highest levels with the involvement of the mayor and the city manager, but given the Texas limitations on municipalities getting involved in network, there was only so far we could go," Rosenthal said. "So I look at the Texas Legislature, because they really put us in a box with regard to Google, and every response the city gave had to be measured within that box."
Obviously, Rosenthal doesn't know the exact reason Google chose Kansas City, Kan. — maybe the Google folks liked the Kansas City barbecue better — but it may be significant that Kansas City straddles two states, one with a law making it hard for municipalities to build networks and one side that actually has its own municipal network. In addition to outright bans, three states have de facto bans and 11 have various barriers to getting municipal networks passed.
This isn't the first time having an anti-municipal network law on the books has irked Austin. Its municipally-owned power providers Austin Energy had wanted to build out more fiber and a more interactive smart grid, but it couldn't provide broadband services to homes under the Texas law. So the utility had to use an unlicensed wireless network and its own fiber core for its smart meter deployment. Rosenthal is still curious about what motivated Google, speculating that having a municipally-owned utility might have played a role in Austin and Kansas City making it so far.
We've covered how Google fiber might become an asset in the smart grid (GigaOM Pro sub. req'd), and such an application would certainly bring additional benefits to the community outside of faster movie downloads — which some people assume broadband is for. However, Rosenthal is hopeful Google might continue its fiber expansion, or, because so many people responded to the call for better broadband, it might be a wakeup call to the state legislature. "I think a lot of people thought broadband was this 'inside baseball' topic, but this demonstrated to local officials that broadband is an issue theat resonates with the public," Rosenthal said.
I, like Craig Settles, hope the same thing happens on a national level. We need someone or some organization to take the small section of the National Broadband Plan that argues for Congress to take action to eliminate the states' anti-muni network laws with a federal law making it okay for communities to deploy network. Not every community will choose to do so, but they should at least have the choice.

I sense sarcasm. Let me continue it. Google's lame attempt at buying my vote for public access to public resources by sending me a free laptop is little more than a publicity stunt. Who will provide a level of customer support and innovation that Comcast and Time-Warner are known for once all I get is reliable bandwidth provided by cables laid along public right-of-ways. You cant buy my support by providing superior products and services. I am much more interested in my elected representatives getting free fishing trips and great tickets to sporting events.
Christopher Mitchell March 31, 2011
Yeah Brett, Google hates independent ISPs so much it is building a next-generation network that any of them can use because that will really show them. Open access networks, along the lines of what Google is building, are the best opportunity for ISPs in the future and may break the duopoly we are currently stuck with.

I guess Google doesn't like Texas.
Kansas City won the lottery..
Dave Roberts March 31, 2011
Stacey, while I'd love to have Gbps broadband fiber to my home, I respectfully disagree with your conclusion. We don't need more cases of Congress overriding State law on things not specifically related to the powers enumerated in the Constitution (see Amendment 10). If Texans, and other states, want municipalities to be able to provide broadband service, they can do it through the state legislature. Personally, while I'm definitely for more broadband, I'd also want to understand the Texas legislature's reasoning on disallowing municipal broadband before I pushed for a change. Also, why doesn't Google provide the service itself as a provider? Why does it have to be owned by the municipality?
Craig Settles March 31, 2011
Google has no interest in running the network service when there are others it feels are capable of the task. In the column I wrote which Stacey mentions above, I list several ways Google wins in the relationship. Google has shown it not supports municipalities as network operators, but also regional telcos and service providers. When Google announced their pilot project in Calif, they turned that over to a local provider to run.
As for why Texas disallowed muni networks, don't follow the rhetoric they used to pass the bill, but follow the money. As in N. Carolina, the legislators writing those anti-muni network bills and current heads of House and Senate count Time Warner and CentryLink among their biggest contributors. And last year, and outgoing NC state senator admitted on TV that he let Time Warner lobbyists write last year's anti-muni net bill. Follow the money.
Dave Roberts June 17, 2011
Replying months late, but this was linked back in another GigaOm article…
Okay, I get that the incumbents wanted to disallow it and I would agree with you that is a problem. I'm not sure why that would make it okay for the feds to override state law on this, though. If we have a state problem, let's fix it at the state level.
Sean Stokes April 1, 2011
The problem with your logic is that the state legislators that have imposed anti municipal entry laws do not actually reflect the will of the people, but the will of the large incumbents. In almost every case where anti municipal entry laws have been adopted the incumbents have coopted the legislative process. In states where there are barriers to municipal entry there is no evidence to suggest that the majority of the residents actually support such barriers. Texas is perfect example of this, in 1995 on the eve of the adoption of the federal Telecommunications Act, which purported to open up all markets to competition by any entity, Texas adopted a sweeping prohibition on municipal entry into telecommunications at the behest of SBC (now AT&T). The Texas legislature provided almost no rationale for this decision, but it was pretty clear that, among other things, SBC (headquartered at the time in San Antonio) wanted to stop the municipal utilities of San Antonio and Austen from entering into competition, or facilitating completion by anyone else, against SBC. SBC then went on as one of the key parties arguing for the Texas law to be upheld against a federal challenge by the City of Abilene, Texas. In pushing for additional restrictions on municipal broadband in Texas in 2005, SBC and company couched their rhetoric in Orwellian speak of "level playing field" and philosophical arguments of the unfairness of the public sector competing against the private sector, when of course it was actually just plain old incumbent protection against anyone else. The same tired arguments and tactics are now being brought out again in NC and SC, and sadly are gaining traction with legislatures that are often predisposed to such arguments, or worse, too lazy or greedy to ascertain the true will of the people.
Sean, I'm coming back to this months later, after seeing a back-link in a more recent article.
With respect, the problem with your counter-logic is that the fed has not right to stick its nose into state business. If there is a state-level corruption problem (and there may be — I don't know enough about the specific issue), then the state needs to deal with it. Your assertion relies on three false assumptions: (1) the feds have the right to intercede, and (2) that the feds are not corrupt when the state is, and (3) that the feds will somehow come to the right conclusion when the state did not. I merely submit that the feds have no fundamental right to intercede in a state matter of this nature, that the feds are just as corruptible by special interests as the states are (see the net neutrality debate, for instance), and that there is no guarantee that they will make the right decision. If taking the decision out of the hands of the municipality was wrong for the state to do, its doubly wrong for the feds to do.
Again, I'm not arguing that what the state did was right or that it shouldn't be changed. I honestly don't know enough about it. I'm merely arguing for the correct process and jurisdiction.
bgurley March 31, 2011
Stacy, I couldn't agree more. The use of the term "information-superhighway" is appropriate in this context. Over the past 200 years, municipalities have been a part of planning for ports, railroad tracks and depots, and true highways, because these transportation paths have a huge impact on the city's economic growth, and therefore citizen livelihood. For the next 50 years, having an amazing core communications infrastructure is that new key transportation path.
Here is the problem. The incumbent carriers are really, really, really good at lobbying and donations. I suspect it may be their #1 core competitive advantage (not kidding on this). Do you think that all of these local state congressmen really have anti-muni networks on their top 5 agenda all by themselves? Have you ever heard a candidate campaign on the platform of stopping the unfettered sprawl of city owned communication networks? This isn't even on most citizens radar, and if it was, they would be supportive, not against.
This is the work of back-room deals and checks handed to the heads of the committees that pass these obnoxious bills. Find the politician that introduced the legislation, check their donation list, and you will find your favorite large telco incumbent as one of their top donors. It's guaranteed.
KT March 31, 2011
But aren't campaign donations and political contributions protected-speech (according to the Supreme Court)…? Until that gets overturned, we'll only get tid-bit corruption trials and every quarter-century a Jack Abramoff-style fiasco…but 99% of it will still be legal and ongoing, I think.

Voices in Cloud – Episode 9: A Conversation With Ed Featherston of Cloud Technology Partners
David S. Linthicum


Smith Erectors, Inc. of Markle, IN recently spent four days working around the clock to service Steel Dynamic, Inc.'s (SDI) Columbia City, IN plant. SDI fabricates structural, rail and engineered steel as part of their New Millennium Building Systems in a multi-building complex. Plant shut downs are required to maintain heavily used equipment in adverse conditions.
During the shutdown, Smith Erectors' brand new 75-ton 75|RT rough terrain crane entered one of the buildings on site through a 22-foot tall overhead door and setup beside an existing hot saw cutting station. The first step of the shutdown consists of removing an old 21,000 pound chute for the hot saw.
Multiple lifting points were used to move the old chute, which was lodged in place by SWARF, remnants of hot steel. In some instances the SWARF must be jackhammered or dislodged in order to remove the chute.
Once the old chute is removed a slightly heavier, 31,000 pound new chute is lowered back into the same 30-foot hole. The new chute is placed at a 35-foot radius, with 53 feet of boom and 4-part line.
"It's a beast. All went smoothly. The crane has plenty of visibility. You have plenty of glass for sight lines on everything," said operator Jim Green.

'3 Generations' Review: Elle Fanning Tries Hard in Timid Trans Tale
A teen's transition takes a backseat to the family members (played by Naomi Watts and Susan Sarandon) who must learn how to cope
Alonso Duralde | May 4, 2017 @ 2:01 PM	Last Updated: May 4, 2017 @ 5:12 PM
"3 Generations" premiered at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival under the title "About Ray," and it's just as well that they changed the name — and not just because "It's a Shame About Ray" is such low-hanging catnip for lazy headline writers.
Ray, played by Elle Fanning, is a trans male teenager who's eager to start testosterone therapy, and would that this movie were indeed about Ray. Instead, it's yet another film where non-trans people learn valuable life lessons, complete with lots of hugs, while the actual trans character's story takes a backseat. (At one point, Ray yells at his mother, "Can you stop making my problems into your problems?" but the movie never honors that request.)
It's a film that positively reeks of good intentions, but it's so timid and tentative — the words "trans" and "transgender" are never uttered aloud — that it feels as hopelessly retro as casting a cisgender actress in the lead. Fanning does fine work, but the current habit of not hiring trans performers to play trans characters is going to feel very dated very soon.
Watch Video: Elle Fanning Shines in New Trailer for Transgender Coming of Age Drama '3 Generations'
High-schooler Ray skateboards, DJs and shoots a documentary of his own transition. Since Ray is only 16, however, he needs parental consent to start injecting himself with "T," and the necessary forms wind up dominating the film. (There is more discussion of signatures and paperwork than there is of gender.)
Ray's artist mom Maggie (Naomi Watts) seems to be accepting of Ray's transition, even though that consent form dredges up a certain level of skittishness. It doesn't help that Maggie's mom Dodo (Susan Sarandon) remains baffled by the process, wondering why her granddaughter Ramona can't just be a butch lesbian instead. (Ray and Maggie live in the boho-chic multi-level New York City apartment owned by Dodo and her lover Frances, played by Linda Emond.)

The form also requires a signature from Ray's father, which forces Maggie to reach out to her long-estranged lover Craig (Tate Donovan), and his sudden reappearance leads to a great deal of familial upheaval, none of which is particularly interesting. His reticence to give his approval, even after a pronounced absence from his child's life, does at least push Ray to finally chop his hair from floppily androgynous down to buzzed.
Sitting on the shelf for a year and a half didn't help, but "3 Generations" must have felt anachronistic from the get-go: Yes, many parents have a difficult time understanding their children's transitions, but the characters presented here are all artsy New Yorkers, so the idea that they've had no interaction with trans people never rings true. As for Ray, he has not one trans friend — not even online, where he would presumably be posting his auto-documentary shorts on YouTube and finding others going through similar life stages. And given that he's known he was a boy since the age of four, he seems ill-equipped to discuss the subject with his well-meaning relatives.
(Watch the TV show "I Am Jazz" or almost any documentary about real trans teens, and you'll see people who have done the homework and demanded that their loved ones do likewise.)
Watch Video: Caitlyn Jenner to Republicans Who Don't Protect LGBTQ Rights: 'I'm Coming After You'
The film indulges in the sort of milquetoast storytelling that allows audiences to feel cozy about their own prejudices, and then to feel like they've solved problems for minorities by the time the closing credits roll. Watts and Sarandon do what they can, but these characters are so wobbly on the page that there's not much to do in the execution, particularly when director Gaby Dellal (who also co-wrote with Nikole Beckwith) put them in wacky situations (involving Maggie's sex life or Dodo's old car) that don't jibe with the rest of the movie.
If there's one standout facet of "3 Generations," it's the sublime cinematography by David Johnson, who takes the natural light of a wintry New York and creates a warmth and intimacy for one of the most filmed cities on Earth. It's a shame that the screenplay can't do nearly as much for these characters.

Warrnambool Tri Club's Foreshore Triathlon will return to Warrnambool in February after the club received thousands of dollars from council. Warrnambool City Council has awarded the club a $3200 Community Development Fund grant. President Ian Barnes said it meant the club's major event could return to the city's foreshore. "Thanks to Warrnambool City Council's support through the Community Development Fund grant, we will be able to bring it back to Warrnambool's sports calendar," he said. "The money will go a long way to traffic control costs which are a large cost for these type of events." READ MORE: Barnes said that would make it safer for participants, spectators and the wider community during the event. The foreshore triathlon was moved to Killarney Beach at late notice this year. Barnes said the club lost sponsors prior to the event which forced the move. He's thrilled the marquee event is back in Warrnambool. "I think everyone loves it down there," he said of the city's foreshore. He said the club would be making a big effort to boost participation in the event. "There's something for everyone," he said. The first-year president said there was a new addition to next year's program. The club will have a Come and Tri event which includes a 250-metre swim, a five-kilometre bike ride and a 1.6km run. There will also be an all-abilities event and an open race which involves a 500m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run. Barnes said participants could enter as a team and he would like see lots of families involved. He added that it would be great to see different footy teams and other groups challenge each other. The club has also bolstered its calendar. "We've really increased our number of events," Barnes said. He said the club had introduced a Hopkins Mini Tri Series for January. "They're new triathlons on Thursday nights after work," he said. There will be three events, each involving a 200m swim, 7km and 2km run. The club launched its 2019-20 memberships on Friday and will have have its season launch on October 6.

Krisiun – Scourge of the Enthroned
written by Eden Kupermintz on September 4, 2018
There are many paths towards the status of veteran in death metal. Some bands, like Mithras who recently came back to us, release classic albums and then disappear only to resurface years later, bearing the gospel of the riff once again. Others are second/third/fourth wave mavericks, incessantly dragging death metal into modernity like Misery Index. But there's also a rare kind of beast out there, the death metal band that's been around since the genre's heyday and has also ceased to stop working, constantly releasing new music. In that category, few bands have the primacy of pedigree that Krisiun enjoy.

Heavy Blog Staff's Favorite Non-2016 "Discoveries"
written by Heavy Blog on December 23, 2016
Even with the hundreds of albums we come across every year, let's face it, we still sleep on things. Especially with a large group such as ours, even if most of us on staff have listened to and obsessed over a particular album, it's inevitable that at least a few of us won't have jumped on the hype train. For a variety of reasons, we either dismiss certain albums when they come out, can't properly give the time to them at first, or were simply unaware of them until someone recommends them. With that in mind, we've decided to make a fun new addition to our annual end-of-year lists, which is one comprised entirely of our favorite albums we heard for the first time this year or learned to love that weren't released in 2016. Though most of these have been released in the past 5 years, there are a few that are far older, all the way to the most classic of thrash. Being a music enthusiast means constant discovery, and that includes digging back through the annals of music history. We encourage you to share your own favorite non-2016 "discoveries" this year, but in the meantime check out some of our staff's top picks below.

"I find it interesting that both artists, in their own way, slightly subvert our romanticized ideas of the past," noted Damien Roman, owner of Roman Fine Art. "Rafferty's work focuses on locales associated with family vacations and summer fun, but once we view these places in the present, their obsolescence becomes apparent and we have completely different feel for them. Our sense of nostalgic melancholy is heightened."
Miami Ready by Lizzie Gill.
The nostalgic, retro imagery, splashed with color, represents the wholesome values and pleasures of "The Good Old Days" in Pastime/Time Passed. Pulling inspiration from the 50s and 60s, the artists glamorize the imagery of the American dream portrayed through old fashioned values and Hollywood romance; the richly nostalgic context of the people, places and icons of days long passed that now exist in a liminal space. These images of carefree summer fun and untroubled leisure occupy the dreams and desires of our modern sensibilities as the contemporary world flies by in hyper speed.
"Gill utilizes imagery from classic films and vintage magazines that unabashedly celebrate the era they represent and then she tweaks it by inserting contemporary narratives. Many of her works skewering the pitfalls of modern relationships including dating apps and the death of courtship," Roman explained. "Romanticized imagery espoused by Hollywood and Madison Avenue fail to hold up to today's less than glamorous realities. Both artists challenge us to confront our memories and feelings of the past, Rafferty focuses on iconic architecture and locations, while Gill confronts archetypes of times passed."
Gill, who resides in New York City, is a mixed media artist who presents her work to be of retro American figures and activities in undefined time and spaces. Magazine friendly bodies and faces are cut and pasted amongst bright colors and shapes that prompts an unexpected exploration of innocence in pastimes and times passed. The effect is a time warped illusion composed of everyday life, human agency, and post feminism contemporary society. Gill has a degree in Fine Art from Skidmore College and has studied at the Studio Arts Centers International in Florence, Italy. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, Allure, Wired and Glamour, Spain.
Brooklyn-based Rafferty uses public architectural spaces to explore the psychology of perception as an evolving, preoccupied society has cast away innovative design and accessible indulgence in favor of lavish, international expense. Focusing particularly on the hotels and motels of the 50s and 60s of Palm Springs, Miami and Hollywood, designed by the architects of the time to evoke a hopefulness for the future for the American tourists, now remain a sad and empty image, stuck in time, leaving the fun-filled heydays a memory. Rafferty received a degree from the University of San Diego in Visual Arts and Art History and a masters from the New York Academy of Art. Her residencies include Terra Foundation for American Art in Giverny, France and the Altos de Chavón School of Design in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
The Gallery's goal is to foster a new environment dedicated to recognizing and supporting New Contemporary Art movements by showcasing fresh, cutting edge artwork from their talented, new artists.
Pastime/Time Passed will be on display Friday, May 25 through Sunday, July 1 - with an opening reception on Saturday, May 26 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Roman Fine Art is located at 66 Park Place in East Hampton. For more information, visit romanfineart.com.

Choose fans more and A/C less
A University of Sydney led study has found using indoor fans more often allows people to reduce their air conditioner use without changing how hot they feel, paving a way for reducing future energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
We often turn to air conditioners during hot weather to cope with the heat, but a study has found electric fans are an effective and sustainable choice to circulate air indoors, without sacrificing comfort
By using indoor fans, indoor temperature levels can increase by 3 to 4 ˚C more until it became uncomfortable (the main reason why we reach for the air conditioner during hot weather) compared with air conditioner use alone.
An additional cost-benefit analysis in the paper on the environmental impact found the total benefit of using fans to reduce overall air conditioner use from a greenhouse emissions perspective surpassed even the switch from incandescent light bulbs to LEDs.
Modelling led by the University of Sydney, found that just by slightly increasing indoor air movement by using indoor fans can reduce electricity consumption and the associated cost of cooling indoor spaces with air conditioners throughout a typical Australian year by approximately 70 percent.
Despite warmer indoor conditions because of less air conditioner use– the study found using fans still maintained the same comfort levels as a lower indoor temperatures with regular air conditioner use.
The findings published in The Lancet Planetary Health was conducted by an international team of experts from the University of Sydney alongside Monash University, University of Newcastle and Radboud University medical center, based in the Netherlands.
The work showcases how making the switch to widespread indoor fan use can potentially reduce energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
Our study confirms that low-cost solutions such as fans have the potential to contribute emission reductions for meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The key lies in the fundamental way electric fans operate to cool the human body compared to air conditioners. Electric fans generate higher air speeds across the skin surface to achieve a higher heat loss despite warmer temperatures, whilst air conditioners by themselves lower temperatures with little air movement.
"Through their sole purpose of lowering air temperatures, air conditioners feed a cycle of high electricity consumption - often delivered by fossil fuel power stations that in turn contribute to further increases in emissions," said co-senior author Professor Ollie Jay, Director of the Heat and Health Research Incubator in the Faculty of Medicine and Health.
"The latest IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on Mitigation of Climate Change emphasises the need for adoption of low-emission lifestyles, including cooling choices for thermal comfort,"
"Our study confirms that low-cost solutions such as fans have the potential to contribute emission reductions for meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement," said lead author Dr Arunima Malik, Senior Lecturer in Sustainability at the School of Physics and Business School.
Optimal conditions for sustainability and comfort
The researchers compared the energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions by modelling five scenarios with different combinations of fan and air conditioner use. This included situations with fans operating at different speed settings.
After logging data on the impact of the fans on human comfort levels before they begin to feel discomfort, the number of hours above the thermal comfort limit were calculated to determine air conditioner usage, and associated energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
"To carry out this calculation we needed to process hourly temperature data for an entire year, for the entire continent on a 150,000-cell raster grid. We were able to do this using supercomputers," said co-senior author Professor Manfred Lenzen of the School of Physics.
They found that operating fans with air speeds of 1·2 m/s with occasional air conditioner use, compared with air conditioners alone, resulted in a 76 percent reduction in energy use (from 5592 GWh to 1344 GWh) and associated greenhouse gas emissions (5091 kilotonnes to 1208 kilotonnes).
"We know that curbing greenhouse gas emissions is the only way we will limit future global warming," says Professor Jay.
"By increasing indoor air movement with fans, you can feel the same at a higher temperature as you will do at a lower temperature using an air conditioning unit. This is a really easy thing that most people can do now to help reduce the prodigious emissions associated with cooling homes and indoor spaces in Australia."

This movie almost looks like a "Me, Myself & Irene" spoof. Apparently we get to see some of those clones we saw at the end of last installment. I look forward to finally seeing some more of Wesker, one of my favorite video game villains. Otherwise, this looks like another "meh" entry in the series.
This one I'm slightly confused about. We know one thing for sure, that Katie is returning. How and why has yet to be revealed but I can't wait to find out. What I'm concerned about is that supposedly both Kaite AND Micah are set to return, but this is still labeled a sequel? Hmmm, sound off in the comments if you can wrap your mind around that.
Okay, seriously... seven?! What are they thinking? The series' gross revenue peaked at part 3, and the reviews have only been going down since the first one, which still only managed to peak at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although part 6 did manage a 42% rating that doesn't excuse part 5's paltry 13%. Can you see what I'm getting at? Why do you think that part 8 has been scrapped? They are just trying to wrap it up at this point. Sorry, no trailer for this one, yet.
Alright, now here is a movie I can get behind. Produced by Eli Roth, admittedly one of my favorite people in Hollywood, this is sure to be a hit. You might recognize his name from Hostel or Cabin Fever, or as an actor in Death Proof or Inglourious Basterds.
As a final treat I'd just like to share the trailer for Bad Robots new flick, Super 8. Very little is known about this movie at the current time, and when I say very, I mean essentially nothing but the title, seriously. Either way I'm very excited for the release and hope this turns out just as well as Cloverfield.
hmm well i agree with you for the most part, but the last exorcism i have mixed feelings on. Exorcism movies in general arent very scary to me, because you usually have to be religious to get fear from this. However it is done by strike. Eli roth on the other hand is good at gore, good movies not hardly. Cabin Fever sucked my balls hard.
