Using retrospective data from a cross-sectional health survey, investigators examined the association between consumption of caffeinated beverages and glaucoma.
Investigators used data from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). They analyzed the association between consumption of various caffeinated and decaffeinated beverages (i.e., coffee, iced tea, hot tea and soft drinks) and glaucoma (defined by the Rotterdam criteria).
After adjusting for glaucoma risk factors such as smoking status, body mass index and diabetes among a diverse sample of 1,678 American adults, the authors found no significant correlation between coffee or soft drink consumption—either caffeinated or noncaffeinated—and glaucoma.
Conversely, daily consumption of hot, caffeinated tea was associated with a lower incidence of glaucoma (OR 0.26; P=0.010). This association was not seen with the consumption of iced tea or decaffeinated hot tea.
This study was limited by its retrospective, observative and cross-sectional design. In addition, the questions did not explore the types of tea consumed (e.g., instant vs. brewed, black vs. green). Glaucoma diagnosis was based on visual field and optic nerve appearance, which are subject to misclassification bias with a 9% false-positive rate and 6% false-negative rate.
Previous studies have shown contradictory results regarding the benefits and harms of coffee, tea and caffeine consumption. These results indicate the antioxidants found in tea—and not those in coffee—may be beneficial to eye health. However, further studies are certainly necessary before definitive recommendations can be made to patients.

Sony Confirms PS4 Development
Zak IslamThursday, May 26, 2011
Although it's obvious that the major console manufactures, including Sony, start work on another console as soon as one is finished, the company haven't openly confirmed a future console's development… until now.
Sony's executive vice president and chief financial officer Masaru Kato has confirmed that a future platform to succeed the PlayStation 3 "is already under way". The news was unveiled during a conference call to investors, which was carried out earlier today. Kato confirmed a new console's development when he was asked to explain R&D costs for the company.
Kato said:
For the home equipment the PS3 still has a product life, but this is a platform business, so for the future platform – when we'll be introducing what product I cannot discuss that – but our development work is already under way, so the costs are incurred there.
The comment made from Masuru Kato above contradict the sayings of Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai. Hirai said a few months back:
A near-future PS4 or next-generation home console is not something that we are even debating now.
Hirai also stated that Sony were not even at the half-way point in the PlayStation 3's planned 10-year life cycle. However, with Nintendo confirming they have a next-generation console to unveil during E3, it certainly isn't a surprise that the corporation has confirmed the PlayStation 3 successor's existence.

title: "What does mount do?"
---

# Background

As I mentioned in my [post about containers][container-post], I want to write a container tool in rust to learn more about rust and containers.  I started doing that with my friend Kevin, and our (humble) progress so far is on Github in a project we called [bucket][bucket-repo] (like a container, that's sometimes rusty... or something).

We're following a long a talk given by Eric Chiang at CoreOS Fest called [Containers From Scratch][core-os-talk-video] ([slides][core-os-talk-slides]).  In the talk, Eric walks through the linux command line utilities that you can string together yourself to make a "container".  We got as far as creating a "root filesystem", `chroot`ing into it, and then making a separate PID namespace by calling `unshare`.  It was during this `unshare` step that I ran into an error message that led me to learn more about `mount` that I want to document here.

# What does `mount` do?

`mount` is a command line utility which wraps the `mount` system call. (Another fun fact I learned: the #'s after a name in a man page indicates what section that man page is in.  So [`mount(2)`][mount-2] is the system call because it is in the "System calls" section of the manual and [`mount(8)`][mount-8] is the command line utility because it is in the "System Administation Commands and Daemons" section. More info in this [SO Answer][man-page-numbers]).

If you're like me, you have had to call mount some times when you've plugged in a USB drive and it hasn't worked correctly.  Usually, the OS handles the mounting for you. For instance, when I plug in a USB stick to my computer, it pops up a Files window with the contents.

First, it's worth knowing how to get information about current mounts. The place for that is `mtab`.  `mtab` is a read-only file that lives at `/etc/mtab` (and in my case is a symlink to `/proc/self/mounts`) which lists the current active mounts.  When I plugged in my USB drive, I saw the following line at the bottom of `mtab`:

```
/dev/sdc2 /media/paul/P16G hfsplus ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8 0
```

If we break that down, we have a device on the far left called `/dev/sdc2`. (Quick side note: to break down `sdc2`, first ignore the `sd`, then you have `c` which indicates it's the third drive that the OS has seen.  `sda` is my computer's hard drive, I'm not sure what `sdb` is.  Then the `2` means what partition on that drive, so this is the 2nd partition. (more info in this [Superuser answer][so-device-names]))

After that, we have the mount point.  This is directory where the files on the device are accessible.  In this case, I can go to `/media/paul/P16G` to access the files on the USB stick.

Next is `hfsplus` indicating the filesystem type.  Then there are several options and then 2 0's indicating the dump/pass options.  0's mean we don't back up this mount (dump) and we don't run `fsck` on it to detect errors (pass).  The [`fstab` wikipedia page][wiki-fstab] has more info on this file's format.

If I want to unmount this, I can run `umount /media/paul/P16G`.  I can then remount it with `sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc2 /media/paul/P16G`. (Interestingly, I had to create the P16G directory since when I unmounted it, the directory went away.  I'm not sure why that is.)

Another interesting place related to `mount` is `fstab`.  It's the same format as `mtab`, but instead of reflecting the current mounts, it represents what mounts should be created at boot time.  If you change that file, you will have new mounts when you reboot.

That gives us enough information to move on to `unshare`.

# What does `unshare` do?

The particular `unshare` command we were looking at was:

```
sudo unshare -p -f --mount-proc=$PWD/rootfs/proc chroot rootfs /bin/bash
```

This creates a new PID namespace, mounts a `proc` filesystem under the `rootfs/proc` directory and then executes `chroot` and finally `bash`.

The tricky part I was running in to was that I was getting a "Invalid argument" error message when I tried to run this command.

First, I'll look at mounting a proc filesystem.  It turns out I can do this anywhere and I don't need a device like I did for mounting a USB drive.  Instead, whatever I pass in as the device becomes a kind of dummy label.  For instance, I can say `mount -t proc dummy ~/fs1` and I'll get a `proc` filesystem in the `fs1` directory.  If I do `ls ~/fs1`, it will look identical to doing `ls /proc`.  Additionally, I get the following line in `mtab`:

```
dummy /home/paul/fs1 proc rw,relatime 0 0
```

Now, I want to look at what the `unshare` command does when it has the `--mount-proc` command because it starts to demonstrate why I ran in to my error.  Here are some lines from the [unshare source code][unshare-source]:

```
if (procmnt &&
    (mount("none", procmnt, NULL, MS_PRIVATE|MS_REC, NULL) != 0 ||
     mount("proc", procmnt, "proc", MS_NOSUID|MS_NOEXEC|MS_NODEV, NULL) != 0))
          err(EXIT_FAILURE, _("mount %s failed"), procmnt);
```

I can see there are 2 calls to `mount(2)` (the system call).  The first isn't creating a mount, but it's taking the mount point and making it private recursively.  This is the same as saying `mount --make-private $procmnt`.  Interestingly, if I unmount `fs1`, and then try to make it private with `mount --make-private fs1`, it fails, saying that `fs1` is not a mountpoint.  This is not the exact error I was getting from `unshare`, but I assume it has the same source.  If I run `mount --bind fs1 fs1`, and then run the make private command it works (and similarly with the `unshare` command).  The problem was that the `unshare` command expects the target for mounting the new proc filesystem to already be a mount point.

# What does `--make-private` do?

It's nice to know why the command was failing and how to fix it, but what might be more important to understand is why `unshare` would be trying to make the `proc` filesystem private to begin with.

The [`mount(8)` manpage][mount-8] explains the different options for the sharing status of a file system so I won't repeat them here.  However, it's useful to know how to tell what the sharing bits are for a particular filesystem.  To get that, I can look at `/proc/self/mountinfo` and I can see for my procfs a line like this with the word shared in it:

```
170 24 0:4 / /home/paul/fs1 rw,relatime shared:146 - proc dummy rw
```

If I call `mount --make-private fs1`, the `shared:146` portion of the line goes away.

How does a shared mount differ from a private one?  A shared mount means that subsequent calls to `umount` and `mount` will propagate to other `--bind` mounted file systems.  In a private mount, those calls will not propagate.  To illustrate this, here is an example:

```
$ mkdir fs1 fs2 subd1
$ sudo mount --bind fs1 fs1
$ sudo mount --bind fs1 fs2
$ sudo mount --make-private fs1
$ mkdir fs1/sub_mount
$ ls fs2
sub_mount
# ^ Files are propagated between the mounts

$ sudo mount --bind subd1 fs1/sub_mount
$ touch subd1/hello
$ ls fs1/sub_mount
hello
$ ls fs2/sub_mount
$ # nothing
```

It turns out that `unshare` mounts all its new mounts as private by default (see [unshare(1)][unshare-1]).  Since the purpose of unshare is to isolate it from other things, this makes sense conceptually, but practically, I am having a hard time thinking of when a proc file system being shared would be a thing that mattered, but then again I do not know if there is more mounting that happens during the creation of a `proc` fs.

# Conclusion

This post was a bit of a random walk around `mount` and `unshare`, but I learned something during it, so I wanted to record it in case I find myself wondering about it later.

Even if your child is old enough by the cut-off date for your elementary school's enrollment, it's more important to focus on their physical, social, and cognitive development to see if they are ready to start school. Parents understand that putting their children into school before they are ready can lead to anxiety and a negative academic experience that may dog the rest of their school career. Here are some guidelines to the skills your child needs to be ready for 'big' school.
Take time this summer to draw, paint, make crafts and cut with scissors to get your child accustomed to following instructions and honing fine motor skills. If your child is shy, consider a summer day camp and play dates so that they can socialize a little more. If they don't already have a routine in place, this summer is a great time to get them accustomed to following a schedule. Start with bedtimes and meals at the same time every day so that they can get a feel for what the school day will be like. If you aren't sure that your child is ready for the school experience, ask an educational consultant for a review.

Is the freeway a Parking Lot?
Travel the inner highway. Take a deep breath. Heck, take two or three! Breathe in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth. Let each breath become gentler and gentler until you can hardly tell the difference between the in-breath and the out-breath.
Just relax. Like walking barefoot at the beach, feeling the tide go in an out between your toes, pay that kind of attention to your breath and let it calm you. How powerful and peaceful the breath! How completely it washes away all frustrations, all anger and sorrow. Like a tide, breath carries everything away and leaves behind a sparkling peace.
When – The best time to meditate during the day is first thing in the morning, just after you get up. Make sure you set your alarm to get up 15 minutes earlier than usual. Another excellent time to practice meditation is right before bed. You will find it easier to go to sleep and you will have deeper more fulfilling rest.
Duration – For beginners to start with 10 minutes is more than enough.
Where – Find a spot in your living space that you can set aside for meditation. Make it really nice with inspiring photos of nature or a spiritual figure you identify with, find some fresh flowers and perhaps burn some incense or essential oils. It is best if this space is used only for meditation – that way it will serve as an outer reminder for your new found inner discipline.
Posture – Make sure you are sitting in such a way to ensure your spine is erect and comfortable. Don't try to meditate lying down – you'll just fall asleep.
Make your breath very slow, deep and relaxed. Your breathing is intrinsically connected to your thoughts and your emotions so by calming your breath you inherently calm your thoughts and emotions.
Start by consciously relaxing your entire body. Using the rhythm of your breath to release the tension around your eyes and face, soften the muscles in neck and shoulders, relax your chest and back. Feel your spine lengthening. Using your breath to relax and soften the remaining muscle groups.
Imagine you are breathing in peace and breathing out any worries, anxieties and tensions you may have accumulated during the day.
Spend the last 3 minutes trying to become aware of your heart beating while still breathing in peace.
Don't get discouraged – Meditation is very simple but is not always easy. Learning how to quiet your mind is a lifelong process so don't expect results overnight. Regular, punctual and sincere practice will definitely produce profound benefits to your life.
Join us for our free classes to learn many different techniques for learning and improving your meditation.
The experience of being nervous!
We have all experienced nervousness at one time or another when facing a new or challenging endeavor. There are any number of situations that can bring nervousness to the fore including public speaking, performing in front of a live audience, competition, meeting new people, resolving a conflict with friends or coworkers, talking to the boss, or for many simply trying something new. When approaching these situations there is some part of us that really does want to perform well and speak perfectly to accomplish our task, but nervousness quite often gets in the way freezing our thinking, muddling our clarity and making us clumsy, awkward and ineffective.
The key to transcending nervous and experiencing "life's fullness dance" lies in our heart's oneness and realisation that newness is something that is healthy, bringing forth our "strength of fullness". Not only do we want to act powerfully and confidently, but so do the hearts and minds of our audience want to experience this with us as well. If what we have to offer comes from the deeper more illumined part of our being, people around us will naturally respond offering their inner encouragement and oneness.
Thinking more about the upcoming challenge has not, cannot and will not conquer your nervousness. To quickly and powerfully bring clarity and focus to our nervous thoughts and vital energy, just for a few moments, concentrate one pointedly on your breath.
Typically when nervous our breath is fast, erratic and shallow, but when confident and relaxed it is deep, long and rhythmic. Simply by taking longer, deeper and rhythmic breaths our consciousness will follow suit. When thoughts arise exhale them, releasing them from your awareness and then focus more deeply on your breathing.
Once you have calmed your breath, with each inhalation use your imagination to draw into your heart peace, tranquility, harmony and a deep feeling of oneness with the divine in everything around you. Establish your "heart's oneness song" with the higher more receptive part of your surroundings. With your exhalation relax and release your nervousness, tension and anxiety freeing yourself of any obstruction to the flow of peace entering into you.
Sometimes it can help to imagine something tangible to breathe in like the fragrance of a flower, the smell of a pinewood forest or the mist of gentle breaking waves. Identify with the qualities of these objects or surroundings such as the purity, simplicity, quietude, or vastness, and let them enter into your heart.
Finally, indentify with the fullness and strength of creating and offering something new. Once you have achieved a sense of calm and clarity through concentrating on your breath intuitively feel the deeper essence of the truth you want to offer. This is your positive manifestation and offering to the world. Anything from the most mundane of subjects or achievements to the most sublime offers something for everyone to grow and learn from. Use this new found feeling of poise and tranquility to guide your actions, bring forth your intuition and allow you to navigate a new or important challenge.
Let each and every new or demanding situation be an opportunity to expand our heart's oneness and life's fullness.
Don't count sheep, count your breath. Lying relaxed on your back, take your mind off the world and yourself. Just breath in on "one" and out on "two." Imagine that out-breath disappearing into infinite space above. Follow it all the way to infinity and then back. Follow the in-breath as it disappears into the infinity within your own self. No thinking! Just feeling and letting go. Count up to twenty and back down to zero again. Do it twice or three times. Don't be in a hurry, you're not going anywhere. Breathe very, very slowly and don't expect to go to sleep, just let it happen.


In the mythical land of fairy tales, magic, and wonder, there exists a castle-kingdom known as Emit. It is a peaceful and enchanted place where childhood tales are alive. The King of Hearts, a wise and loving ruler, governs over the land until a dark figure named Cedric, the King of Hearts' brother, conspires to enslave the kingdom for his own. Cedric first disposes of the King and Queen of Hearts, then orders his henchmen to 'take care of' the newborn Prince in the crocodile infested river. Believing his plan complete, Cedric takes his place as the new King. Now darkness ripples throughout the Kingdom of Emit. 20 Years later. Although Cedric's tyranny over the people still reigns, life is relatively peaceful for a young man named Henry, his mother (Old Mother Hubbard), and the children she cares for, until one day when Cedric's henchmen pay a "visit". With Henry away from home, the mother and children attempt to stand up to the henchmen, but are no match for the thugs who pillage their shoe house, leaving them with nothing of value. Upon discovering a secret from Humpty Dumpty and Baa Baa Black Sheep about his past, Henry hastily returns to his childhood home, only to find it destroyed and Old Mother Hubbard arrested. Henry boldly sets off on a mission to make things right. He travels to Emit and towards an ultimate showdown with Cedric. Throughout his action-packed journey, Henry encounters one fairy tale character after another and is befriended by a comical group of rebels who also want nothing more than to see the end of tyranny over their land. Henry must use all of his cunning, wits, and courage to face his destiny and confront his shadowy past. Can Henry rise to fulfill his true calling and defeat Cedric, and bring peace and justice back to the land of fairy tales?

Time of Change Photographs by Bruce Davidson and The Black Panthers: Making Sense of History Photographs by Stephen Shames
May 17 - August 02, 2007
Bruce Davidson is a major figure in modern photography, who has created compelling documentary work for over forty years. Born in 1933, he began taking photographs at the age of ten. After military service in 1957 he worked as a freelance photographer for Life, and in 1958 he became a member of Magnum Photos. Davidson continued to photograph extensively from 1958 to 1965, creating such bodies of work as The Dwarf, Brooklyn Gang, Subway, East 100th Street, and The Civil Rights Movement. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962 to document youth in the South during the civil rights movement, and in 1966 was awarded the first grant for photography from the National Endowment for the Arts. Davidson's work has been shown at many of the world's leading museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; International Center of Photography, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; and Parco Gallery, Tokyo. He continues to work as an editorial and documentary photographer and his work appears regularly in publications all over the globe. Aperture has published three monographs on the work of Davidson: Central Park, Portraits, and Subway.
Stephen Shames is an award-winning photographer and social activist whose photographs on social issues have been published in numerous major publications and are in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography, New York; National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego; University of California's Bancroft Library, Berkeley; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He has received awards from Kodak (Crystal Eagle for Impact in Photojournalism), World Hunger Year, Leica, International Center of Photography, and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Foundation. Shames is one of ten photographers featured in Tipper Gore's book on homelessness, The Way Home. He has testified on the issue of child poverty to the U.S. Senate and was a featured speaker at American Bar Association and Children's Defense Fund national conferences. The Ford, Charles Stewart Mott, Robert Wood Johnson, and Annie E. Casey Foundations have underwritten his work. PBS named Lewis Hine, Marion Post Wolcott, and Stephen Shames as photographers whose work promotes social change. Shames's other publications with Aperture are: Pursuing the Dream, Outside the Dream, and Empower Zone. He is represented by Polaris Images, and the Stephen Kasher Gallery, New York.
Aperture Gallery is pleased to exhibit two seminal photographic documents of the civil rights movement. Magnum photographer Bruce Davidson spent the years 1961–1965 chronicling the early chapter of the movement that was defined by a philosophy of non-violent resistance to institutionalized American racism. Davidson's project chronicles five long years of struggle that made civil rights a national issue and led to the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965. Though such legislation represented an important step forward, it did not, however, have an immediate effect on the material conditions facing the African-American community, prompting two college students, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton to form the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, after Malcolm X was assassinated in 1966. The group would become emblematic of the Black Power movement that helped shape the tumultuous years of the late 1960s and early '70s. As the official photographer for the Panthers, Stephen Shames was allowed unprecedented access, enabling him to intimately document this dynamic but controversial organization from 1967 to 1973.
Time of Change: Photographs by Bruce Davidson
On May 25, 1961, Bruce Davidson joined a group of Freedom Riders traveling by bus from Montgomery, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi. The actions of the Riders tested federal laws permitting integrated interstate bus travel. These historic episodes, which ended in violence and arrests, marked the beginning of Davidson's exploration into the heart of the civil rights movement in the United States during the years 1961–1965. In 1962, Davidson received a Guggenheim Fellowship and continued documenting the era, including an early Malcolm X rally in Harlem, steel workers in Chicago, a Ku Klux Klan cross burning near Atlanta, migrant farm camps in South Carolina, cotton picking in Mississippi, protest demonstrations in Birmingham, and the heroic Selma march that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was instrumental in changing the political power base in the segregated Southern states. Davidson's work on view in this exhibition includes intimate and revealing portraits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congressman John Lewis, and other leaders during those turbulent times. Davidson's lyrical images are both poignant and profound as they describe the mood that prevailed during the civil rights movement.
The Black Panthers: Making Sense of History: Photographs by Stephen Shames
In the midst of the civil rights movement, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the legendary Black Panther Party, in 1966, in Oakland, California. The Party, revered by some and vilified by others, burst onto the scene with a revolutionary agenda for social change and the empowerment of African-Americans. Its methods were controversial and polarizing, so much so that in 1969, FBI head J. Edgar Hoover described the organization as the country's greatest threat to internal security. In April 1967, Stephen Shames, a college student at the University of California, Berkeley, met the Panthers at a rally to end the war in Vietnam. He was invited to photograph them and continued to do so until 1973. His close friendship with the Panthers, and Seale in particular, gave Shames unusual access to the organization, allowing him to capture not only the public face of the Party—street demonstrations, protests, and militant posturing—but also unscripted behind-the-scenes moments, from private meetings held in the Party headquarters, to Bobby Seale at work on his mayoral campaign in Oakland. The immediacy and intimacy of Shames's photographs offer an uncommonly nuanced portrait of this dynamic social movement, during one of the most tumultuous periods in recent U.S. history.
Both series in the show are accompanied by critically acclaimed publications. The Black Panthers, photographs by Stephen Shames, foreword by Bobby Seale, essay by Charles E. Jones, was released by Aperture in October 2006 on the occasion of the Party's fortieth–anniversary reunion in Oakland, California. Time of Change: Civil Rights Photographs 1961–1965, photographs by Bruce Davidson, foreword by John Lewis, essay by Deborah Willis, was published by St. Anne's Press in October 2002.


The ATEC headquarters includes 141,453 gross square feet of administrative, meeting and training space on three levels. The building supports 610 personnel relocated as part of the Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005 (BRAC).
The building houses the Army Evaluation Center Command and the Army Test Evaluation Center Command. It supports their mission to provide full spectrum developmental and operational testing and system evaluation of new weaponry and machines.
The two efficient and flexible administrative wings are joined by a central atrium and ceremonial entry, which is a three-story glass enclosed space that is ideal for welcoming congressional delegations and foreign dignitaries who regularly visit the commands.
The building's overall bold, axial space establishes a powerful presence on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The L-shaped wings defining the wide ceremonial forecourt give the building a classic command presence despite the modern materials and amenities.
The building incorporates several specialized features for Anti-terrorism Force Protection (ATFP), including a Secured Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), Access Control features, and secured facilities for a Network Operations Center (NOC) and Operations Centers (OC). In addition to executive and standard office areas, the building includes a café, library, central conference and training areas. The upper floors offer a stunning view of the Chesapeake Bay.
In sharp contrast with typically drab military workplaces, the crisp interior design and sense of spaciousness carries over into the individual workstations, conference and training areas. Ten-foot ceilings, clean modern design, and sleek linear lighting create a healthy, productive workplace, where each—regardless of rank—is inspired to "be all that they can be," and is valued as "an army of one." The LEED®-Gold certified building is a testament to today's forward-thinking, modern Army. The innovative approach to military architecture, the use of high-performance building systems, and a holistic design approach that promised a highly sustainable workplace were the keys to this project's success.

Most Minors Tried as Adults in NJ Are Black or Latino
WNYC | October 12, 2016 | Social
Although it must be approved by a judge, the decision to try a minor as an adult is at the discretion of the prosecutor
Young offenders who commit certain crimes in New Jersey — like homicide, robbery, or drug trafficking — can be tried as adults and face the same, long prison sentences as adults.
But getting "waived up" into the adult system does not happen unless a prosecutor requests it. According to an analysis by WNYC, most of the requests for "waiving up" are for young African-Americans. Data from the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Court shows 692 minors, almost 90 percent of whom are black or Latino, were tried as adults in the past five years in New Jersey.
The prosecutor in each county has to request that a minor be tried as an adult and a judge has to approve it. WNYC analysis found that in some counties, like Passaic, judges are twice as likely to approve requests for "waiving up" African-American minors as for white or Latino minors.
The only prosecutor in the state who has not sought to try a minor as an adult in the past five years is in Hunterdon County, where the juvenile population is 80 percent white.
"There are obvious disparities and gross disparities in the exercise of discretion to seek a waiver," said Laura Cohen, the director of the Criminal and Youth Justice Clinic at Rutgers Law School.

Tech Watch: Tasty Twitter Tweaks
Twitter's been hacked! Was it the Chinese? Uncle Sam? Aliens? Who cares! You need to protect yourself regardless, and this installment of Tech Watch will tell you how.
by Amber Miller
View ProfileFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubeGoogle+LinkedInRSS Feed
The Twitter-sphere is abuzz with talk of the latest hacking scandal to affect U.S. companies. Last week, Twitter reportedly shut down a live attack – but not before the hackers were able to access the personal information of up to 250,000 users – attaining such information as usernames, email addresses, session tokens, and even passwords.
Prior to the cyberattack on this social media site, both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported a breach in their systems. On this occasion, the hackers escaped with employee passwords and managed to install malware into the systems. The fact that all three attacks happened within the same week left people wondering whether there was a connection, or if this was merely a coincidence.
So could there be a political drive behind the attacks? And are these attacks contributing to a larger scam that is underway?
While the answers to these questions are still unknown, one thing is for sure—precautions need to be taken to secure your personal information. After shutting down this recent attack, Twitter is said to have reset passwords, revoked session tokens, and notified its effective users via email, instructing them to create new passwords.
Even though this incident affected only a small percentage of Twitter users, there's no telling what could happen in the future. So, for your own piece of mind, here are some security measures you can practice on your own:
Create – and periodically update – passwords with at least eight characters of mixed letters, numbers, and symbols in them. They may be harder to remember, but it will lessen your chances of becoming a victim of hacking.
Review the apps and add-ons associated with your social media accounts on a regular basis; each of these provides an access point for security breaches. Be sure to remove apps and add-ons you no longer use.
Whenever possible, upgrade all of your browsers. This will guarantee that you are being provided with the most recently updated security features.
Use your better judgment when accessing viral content through social media sources. If a story or photo on a social network seems suspicious or too unbelievable to be true, it probably is. Use a search engine to research the story and access it directly from a reputable source instead of clicking through via a social network.
Watch for spam messages that seem to have been posted or tweeted by your friends. If the messages, links, or photos seem out of character, avoid clicking on them; it is possible that their account was compromised. Don't forget to let your friends know too; they may be unaware of their spam messages.
In the meantime, Twitter, along with other social media sites, will be looking to increase security on their end of things as well. A current Twitter job posting is seeking engineers for their Production Security Team, with opportunities such as designing and developing user-friendly security features, and creating custom security tools. Hopefully, these efforts, together with your own security precautions, will keep user information safe from future cyberattacks.

Geeked Out: Lumberyard
by John Lindvay2/17/2016, 3:30 PM
Amazon introduces their free-to-use engine called Lumberyard.


Since last Thursday, we have been in a mode of try to stay dry, try to get well, and try to really clean out the spare bedroom/crafting room.
Last Thursday I had to pick Em up early because she was running around 102 temp. Luckily I got her into the dr, and sure enough, strep throat. Apparently it is going around right now, which is completely the wrong time for it. She is doing much better, thank goodness. Since she did not feel too well, I put the air mattresses in the living room floor and we slept there. Friday was not too bad. Then Saturday morning I was awakened to the sound of thunder about 4:30 am, which lately has not been an unusual occurrence. I went back to sleep and then was rudely awakened to a complete downpour about 7:30.
We went to look outside and even my gutters could not handle the amount of rain we were having. There was flooding in town, and we even made the national news. I know at my house, I had 3.5 inches of rain in the space of a few hours. We are so water logged, the earth takes forever to soak it in. I keep wondering if we moved the Pacific Northwest.. waiting for lots of pines and ferns to spring up and all of our grass to rot. They had to close quite a few bridges in and around town. I even saw children swimming and canoeing in a baseball field that was about 3-4 feet under. It was just amazing. We are still having rain. I just checked weather.com and there is this huge mass of rain over us right now. So far our total for the month of June as of yesterday is 9.08 inches, and the total for the past 90 days is over the 20 inches mark! I just wish this silly front that is causing this would move. I mean really, it could go vacation around Lake Tahoe, they actually need the rain.
Em has Vacation Bible School this week, and I know a lot of their activities have been changed due to all this rain. But Emma is sure having a lot of fun, which I am glad. Something different to do over the summer.
I better get ready for work, but I will leave you with some pics from my cell phone I took when we took a drive Saturday evening, after the rain stopped for a little while.
Fireworks stand and floating porta pottys. Bet they won't put the stand there next year!
This is Swan's Dairy. What you are seeing above is there dairy cattle field, which is now a big pond. It has since "soaked" in, but I am sure since I have lived in Claremore, I have never seen it made into a pond that lasted for 24 hours.
And above is what I did while it rained. I have posted them in my Etsy Shop. I made tote bags, that is until my Singer CG-590 quit on me. Murphy's Law - I have had it just over a year and my needle will not move, and I cannot turn it with the handwheel. Oh yeah... I still have yet to take it into the shop. I am just not happy about this, and having panic attack withdrawal issues now. If it will stop raining long enough today, I will take it in to get it fixed. Anyone had this happen to them before with their machine?
Okay, I will post a "real" post later in the day, but currently I am busy busy busy.. finally posting all of these patterns we found in my mother's Time Capsule attic as well as other things. I am putting some items in Etsy and the others (mainly crochet magazines) in Ebay.

MONDAY, June 1, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Prostate cancer patients with an unhealthy, high-fat diet have a significantly higher risk of death from the disease, a new study suggests.
"There is currently very little evidence to counsel men living with prostate cancer on how they can modify their lifestyle to improve survival. Our results suggest that a heart-healthy diet may benefit these men by specifically reducing their chances of dying of prostate cancer," study senior author Jorge Chavarro, of the Harvard School of Public Health, said in a Harvard news release.
The study involved nearly a thousand U.S. doctors who had developed prostate cancer and were followed for an average of 14 years after diagnosis.
Chavarro's team assessed the men's eating habits to see if they had an unhealthy "Western" diet -- high in red and processed meat, high-fat dairy products and "refined" grains -- or a healthy diet high in vegetables, fruit, legumes (such as beans), fish and whole grains.
While the study couldn't prove cause-and-effect, the researchers found that men who scored highest in terms of Western eating habits were 2.5 times more likely to die from their prostate cancer, and 67 percent more likely to die from any cause, than those who scored lowest.
In contrast, men who scored highest in terms of healthy eating habits were 36 percent less likely to die from any cause than those who scored lowest, the researchers said.
The study authors stressed that most of the men in the study were white, so results might differ in studies involving other races/ethnicities.
One expert said Western diets have long had a bad reputation when it comes to health.
"Diets high in animal fat and low in fiber are associated with metabolic syndrome -- a collection of conditions including abdominal obesity, elevated blood sugar levels and high blood pressure," said Dr. Michael Schwartz, a urologist at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"It has been known for some time that this type of diet can elevate risk of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and various cancers," he said.
Now, "this study provides evidence for what many of us have for years been telling our patients with prostate cancer -- or patients who are interested in prostate cancer prevention," Schwartz said.
He added that the anti-cancer effects of exercise might play a role as well, in that men in the study who ate healthier might also have exercised more.
The research was published online June 1 in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

Memphis has reached an agreement in principle to hire Texas Tech's Tubby Smith as its next coach, a source told CBS Sports early Thursday.
Smith, 64, was offered the Memphis job Wednesday morning, a source told CBS Sports. But sources said Texas Tech quickly counter-offered with a huge raise and extension, which caused Smith to at least think everything through. Ultimately, though, he realized it's much easier to win consistently at Memphis than it is at Texas Tech, a source said. So the likely future Hall of Famer agreed to fill the opening previously held by Josh Pastner.
Pastner left Memphis last week to coach Georgia Tech.
Smith spent three seasons at Texas Tech. He's guided five different schools to the NCAA Tournament -- most notably Kentucky. He won a national title at UK in 1998.

Critic's Notebook
April 29, 2013 Issue
Love And Labor
By David Denby
Photograph by Lux Film/Photofest
The Italian film "Bitter Rice," a box-office smash from 1949, directed by the now forgotten Giuseppe De Santis, reverses the neorealist conventions of the period. (It's at Lincoln Plaza Cinema through April 25 and streaming on Amazon.) In the background, female migrant workers, both unionized and scabs (the clandestini), labor, suffer, and play together; some of De Santis's work with groups of peasants has the volatility of the crowd scenes in "Bicycle Thieves," but set in the countryside rather than in bleak postwar Rome. In the foreground, four extraordinary-looking actors (not the usual neorealist non-pros) play out a furious melodrama of love and betrayal: the astonishing Silvana Mangano, an earthier Rita Hayworth, stands in a rice paddy in shorts and a tight sweater; the tall, lean Vittorio Gassman, as a cheap crook, looks both self-satisfied and anxious; the American actress Doris Dowling loves the worthless criminal; and Raf Vallone, shirt always open, passes between both women. The movie is crude, but sexy and vital. ♦

Chaz Mostert's 2013 Dunlop Series car Photo credit: MW Motorsport
Chaz Mostert has been named in the Ford Performance Racing line-up for this year's V8 Supercars enduros.
Mostert raced with FPR in the 2012 Dunlop Series and will make his debut in this year's Sandown and Bathurst endurance races, although a decision is yet to be made on which car he will co-drive.
The 20-year old finished third in the Dunlop Series standings with four wins, and this year makes the switch to Matthew White Motorsport for a third full-time season in the V8 Supercars' second-tier, after FPR decided not to field an entry of its own following its expansion to four cars in the V8 Supercars Championship.
FPR will however, provide technical assistance to the Matthew White Motorsport, after the team purchased Mark Winterbottom's 2012 FPR-built Ford Falcon FG chassis for Mostert to race, which it will run alongside its other ex-FPR cars for Dale Wood and Morgan Haber.

What led to the French Reign of Terror?
The Reign of Terror (or la Terreur in French) was a period following the French Revolution when numerous massacres and public executions took place. Over 16,000 death sentences were carried out across France, and over 2,000 of those were in Paris, an additional 10,000 died in prisons without trial. There is still historical dispute over when the killings began during the French Revolution, but what were the factors that led to this bloody episode in the history of France? What led to the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution?
Rejection of religious authority
The French Revolution was defined by an era of rational thought and new political ideas that questioned the structure of French society, and with that the validity and standing of the Catholic Church. At the time around 10% of French land belonged to The Church, the largest single landowner in the country under the Ancien Régime, the hereditary monarchy and feudal system of the French nobility. The Catholic Church was also exempt from taxation, while levying an income tax, known as a tithe, on the general population. The revolution caused a essential shift of power from the Catholic Church to the state and subsequently led to the de-christianisation movement that expropriated church lands, while killing or exiling priests. This anticlerical sentiment was a significant influence on the Reign of Terror and many priests became victims of this violent transition to secularism.
