What is Asset Management? These days, nearly every organization uses computers, printers, fax machines, and other assets. In most organizations, the IT department (the department in charge of the organization's computers and information processing) handles the assets.
But how do help desks normally work? What are the typical functions? Why have software? These are all valid and important questions… and questions that should be periodically considered even when a help desk is already established and functioning. Hopefully, this section will answer these and other related questions.


Hilary and Roger discuss design and data analysis, the recent Women in Analytics Conference at Facebook, presentation formats, and the value of PhD training.
Hilary and Roger discuss the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook story, what explainable AI tries to get at, and Hilary's secret trick for data analysis. Also, we respond to some listener questions and feedback.

The north of Moldova has always been different from the rest of the country because of its natural and cultural diversity. It is believed that some of the most fertile soils in the world are concentrated here, in the North, especially in the Balti Steppe. Irresistible agriculture growth rates and mandatory supply schedule during the Soviet era led to the fact that most of the hills, forests and meadows of this zone were plowed. This changed the local landscape a lot. However, the natural beauty of some places has remained original, and together with old manors, colorful towns and villages, it turns the North area of the country into one of the most attractive tourist destinations.
The tour offers you the chance to get to know the city of Chișinău through specialty coffee, natural grape flavors, the taste of legendary wines presented by talented people: top sommeliers, perfumer and barista.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and visit the monasteries of Saharna and Tipova on this full-day private tour.

Star reporter Mike Chappell contributed to this story.
Fan reaction of a possible local blackout:
From Facebook:
Sam Myers: How does not buying playoff tickets make somebody a "band wagon fan". So if I'm poor that means I can't be a true fan?
Ryan All: Lol people say bandwagon, try taking a family of four to a regular season game. Prices are through the roof. Playoff tickets are +50 more the the standard face value.
Michael Hornung: It is simple, don't charge so much , so the average family can go!

Q: QML ListView spacing glitch I have a simple page in my application:
import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0

Page {

    ListView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        model: 50
        delegate: Item {
            clip: true
            height: 50
            anchors {
                left: parent.left
                right: parent.right
            }

            Rectangle {
                color: "red"
                anchors.fill: parent
            }
            Label {
                text: index
            }

        }
    }

}

Sometimes, when I'm scrolling, I see spacing between rows, yet spacing is zero. I suppose it's some kind of coordinates rounding error. I tracked down  possible source of the issue -- clip: true inside delegate. If I remove it, then everything is fine.
Is it a bug of Qt, and how can I workaround it?

A: If you only have those glitches when enabeling the clipping, don't use it - at least not in the delegate's root node.
Page {
    ListView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        model: 50
        delegate: Rectangle {
            clip: false // <-- Do not clip in the delegate's root node
            height: 50
            color: "red"
            anchors {
                left: parent.left
                right: parent.right
            }
            Item {
                anchors.fill: parent
                clip: true // <-- instead you might clip in a delegate's child node
                Label {
                    text: index + 'a very long string that might be clipped at some point'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

shows at least on my computer non of those glitches.
However I would try to not clip the delegates at all, as clipping is an performance factor which might have influences especially when objects are moving (e.g. scrolling through the ListView)

A: ListView's pixelAligned attribute absolutely solved the problem for me
ListView {
    ...
    pixelAligned: true
    ...
}

Crit Night at Ace Hotel Brooklyn
Monday, Jan 17, 2022
Ace Hotel Brooklyn
$252 Schermerhorn St, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Ace Hotel Brooklyn and Pioneer Works join in creative arms to foster artistic communities.
Crit Night is a seasonal series, where Pioneer Works artists-in-residence share works in progress during an intimate evening focused around experimentation and discourse.
Tech Resident Carrie Wang will present a live performance piece featuring a monologue that switches between Chinese and English, a computer system made with speech-to-text API, Google Translate, and a printer. As the artist reveals her unfiltered stream of thoughts, the computer system simultaneously translates the personal narrative into the other language using a synthesized voice. The printer prints out the computer's translation for the artist to read, which will be translated again by the computer. Titled "Lost and Found," the piece explores the lost and the found of meanings through layers of technological mediation.
Visual Arts Resident Asuka Goto will read excerpts from a personal essay that she's written about the process of trying to translate one of her father's novels from Japanese to English. Following the reading, Goto and Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda of BIPOC literary translators' caucus will have a conversation about the artistic nature of translation.
Music Resident Tony Cruise demonstrates a batch of handmade electronic instruments in a performance of selected scenes from the modular opera, 'Smellin of Thunderbird & Bodies in Heat.'

In light of the atheists getting bolder and colder and sensing the growing antagonism to religion in general, I feel it is time to publicly explain "the reason for the hope that is in me".
My model begins with the existence of God. I believe that all arguments begin with, "Is there a God?" If we begin with man, we start at the wrong place. A lot of people base their whole world view within their own existence, what a mistake!
I answer the question in the affirmative. There is a God. There is too much order, too much beauty, and too much opinion regarding good and evil to explain it away to natural, random occurrences. My own inner life points to mystery beyond me. The world under the microscope is too wonderful for me to accept blind chance and the expanse and beauty of the heavens is too majestic to cynically attribute it to uncoordinated randomness.
General revelation also points to a life beyond this life. Are the seasons merely a coincidence? The life cycle of a butterfly points to rebirth. I was praying one day to see God and as I drove into work on a foggy morning, I saw hundreds of spider webs. They had been invisible for months, but now their design and beauty were clearly seen. The visible world does point to the invisible God.
My next question requires me to ask, "Is there revelation or evidence of specific communication from this God to man?" Again, I believe there are two that give credence to the other. Jesus Christ is a clear manifestation of God and His nature. He did make that claim. He gives support of both the New and Old Testament. Is there valid support of these two revelations? The answer is yes. History supports both in spite of an entire system bent on destroying this precious truth. A seven day work week has been handed down to us from somewhere. The disciples died for a myth? The Bible survives? How?
And no other purported revelation holds water. They are all cheap imitations from a constant enemy.
And finally the message: Who could have made this up?
So there are always the attacks. I'm simple-minded, poorly educated, and have committed intellectual suicide to shake hands with faith. How do you respond to this?
I feel like when someone discounts God on the basis of reason, they are doing the most foolish thing of all. When the Bible speaks of the 'unforgivable sin' and 'blasphemy of the spirit'- it has to be this. When someone says, "There is no God, no angels or devils, no heaven or hell" they are lifting their life experience and powers of reasoning to a god-like status. 'I must become God to kill God', Nietzsche understood this.
I'm thankful that I am under-educated enough to keep a healthy self-suspicion of my intellect. Is reason trustworthy enough to gamble on eternity?
What does the Bible say about our ability to reason?
Romans 1:28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
If you are raising your fist against God, please reconsider. The promise is that those who repent and believe will be rescued. Cry out to Him before it is too late!
Thanks for the post. I Googled "simple apologetic" and came to your blog.
What you wrote was helpful.
I see you're also a fan of White Horse Inn. They're great, aren't they?


While roaming around Liverpool, UK, I discovered St. Luke's church. It was bombed out in 1941 during the May Blitz of Liverpool in World War II.
It was a beautiful little church from the outside. I didn't even realize it was totally hollow and empty until I came around the corner just as these artists (Adele, Shivon and Ambrose pictured above) were unlocking the door. I asked if I could join them and they let me right in. We go acquainted and they told me about how they have been struggling to save this church for the arts community.
It was so beautiful in there with art hanging everywhere and the sunflower installation by a Jesuit priest from the Philippines. Watch my video to learn more, and enjoy my photographs below!

Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly
Marv and Denise Robinson met while working at an office together, and when the Lord intertwined their hearts' desire to work at a children's ministry, their love for each other blossomed. Marv proposed on a busy bus in New York City, and in 1975, they were married. Appointed in 1980, Marv and Denise have just celebrated 40 years of ministry with Missions Door, but their story reveals a lifetime of God's provision.
The Robinsons began their Missions Door ministry in Coney Island, where they planted a church and opened doors for Gospel outreach among the community. Living in Coney Island for 20 years, they compassionately served the poor, including many who lived in homelessness. In 2001, the Lord led them to Rochester, NY, which has been their Jerusalem for the past 19 years.
Summertime is usually the busiest time in the Rochester ministry. Churches send Mission teams to do ministry with Marv, such as participating in outdoor Bible clubs, street evangelism, visitation and work projects, and sharing testimonies with those struggling with addiction or homelessness.
During the school year, the Robinsons help families fill their children's bags with books, supplies and whatever else they may need for a successful school year. They also plan banquets for the families, determined for them to experience the loving presence of Christ in the inner city. "The mothers have never gone to a banquet with Christ," Marv says.
Ministry in the Pandemic
Much of the world came to a halt when the coronavirus erupted, and many areas in which Marv and Denise work had to close and become isolated. The children are not able to meet for Bible camps this summer, and face-to-face ministry is limited. But the Lord has been faithful in opening new avenues for the Robinsons to continue their ministry.
"Sometimes things are taken away," Marv says. "But we're not just sitting around drinking iced tea. The Lord still has a job for us in Rochester."
Marv and Denise are connected to a housing complex of 200 families where they do a large part of their ministry. Because of the virus, Bible studies and other projects have had to cease. Even so, Marv will still pass out reading material to these families to kindle hope and draw near to God during this unprecedented time. Marv also faithfully calls about ten people a day and sends out hand-written cards to stay connected with all who are involved in his ministry.
The Lord has been specifically directing Denise to senior adult facilities, where she hosts Bible studies. She sits down with them to talk, pray with them, and show them what it means to be intimately known by Jesus. Unfortunately, as senior facilities are among the highest risk of the virus, Denise is no longer allowed inside. The quality time that she was previously able to offer has been refashioned to intentional phone calls with all of her beloved seniors to pray with them, and sometimes even giving "air hugs" through the glass doors of the facility.
With so much hurt and devastation brought onto society by the coronavirus, and with so much hopelessness experienced by many, the Robinsons boldly claim that "it is even more powerful to know we have the only true message for hope to offer this world."
There's no doubt that the year 2020 has brought on many challenges for Missions Door missionaries, but it does not stop at the coronavirus.
A Changed Heart is the Only Remedy
The month of May sparked a movement like never before seen in the United States. A snowball effect from racial injustice exploded through the country and every media channel was spotlighting protests and riots. The movement fighting against racism has left an impact on the country, and it includes Missions Door missionaries.
Marv recalls his childhood when his grandmother warned him of the danger being black in America. He remembers being told to sit at the back of the bus when he was seven years old. He thinks of the time he and his grandmother were searching for an apartment in New York, when a "No Vacancy" sign lit up as they approached the building. Even so, Marv says, "God still worked out the details on our behalf."
Growing up without the presence of his mother and father, the Lord brought Pastor Walter Taylor (or Pastor Ted) into Marv's life. Marv was seven years old when Pastor Ted knocked on his door and invited him to Sunday school. At first, his grandmother disapproved and did not permit him to go.
"Never trust a white person," he remembers his grandmother saying. But with relentless effort by Pastor Ted to bring Marv to Sunday School, his grandmother finally allowed him to go. Pastor Ted soon became Marv's "spiritual dad", and never left his side until the day he passed. Marv says, "He was a white man doing what God wanted him to do."
In the midst of riots and protests, there is also very positive change that is happening. "The most important thing is to recognize the presence of the supernatural moving of God in His people," Denise says. There is a deeper awareness, and as the Robinsons see so many hearts changing drastically, they see this as something that can only be God's doing.
"Without the presence of God, without people praying for this to really mean something, this will run its course and people will jump on something else," Denise says. "A changed heart is the only remedy."
Marv and Denise encourage God's people to pray for a teachable spirit. People are now wanting to learn and see change. With humility and a desire to demonstrate God's love and justice for all, followers of Jesus can lead the way toward racial reconciliation.

How to Argue With a Racist: History, Science, Race and Reality

Race is real because we perceive it. Racism is real because we enact it. But the appeal to science to strengthen racist ideologies is on the rise - and increasingly part of the public discourse on politics, migration, education, sport and intelligence. Stereotypes and myths about race are expressed not just by overt racists, but also by well-intentioned people whose experience and cultural baggage steer them towards views that are not supported by the modern study of human genetics. Even some scientists are uncomfortable expressing opinions deriving from their research where it relates to race. Yet, if understood correctly, science and history can be powerful allies against racism, granting the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be.
HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution and variation, and a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify bigotry.

Tesco boss Dave Lewis has revealed the level of "disagreements" between his predecessor and the supermarket's management team about profit targets in the weeks before its accounting scandal was exposed.
Mr Lewis has revealed in evidence to Southwark Crown Court that Phil Clarke, former Tesco chief executive, had believed that a profit forecast of £2.8bn was "still achievable" despite Tesco's management team warning of the financial pressure on the company's balance sheet from its level of debt and the lower cash flow the business was generating.
As a result on August 29, 2014, prior to Mr Lewis joining, Tesco issued a profit warning saying profits would instead be between £2.4bn and £2.5bn.

There's spin and there's Met Office spin
Tags: Failure, Met Office, Spin, Weather
Wigan Council are not happy with the Met Office. Council Officers are complaining that they were left in the dark by their weather forecast contractor about impending icy conditions and therefore did not grit roads in the borough. As a result public transport services were affected and a number of road accidents occurred.
'This year we awarded the contract to the Met Office. The council officer correctly acted in not treating the roads network from the information he had been provided with.
"When the weather starts to change from the forecast, we would expect a Met Office forecaster to ring us up and inform us of the pending changes, but this did not happen."
It seems knowing what weather can be expected but not telling people is getting to be a bit of a habit for the Met Office. As a result senior managers from the Met Office have been asked to attend the next Greater Manchester winter maintenance group meeting to discuss their level of service.
Despite this adverse publicity the department is happily spinning that no complaints have been received, all is well and they will be attending the meeting as they 'are keen to work with our customers and make sure they receive accurate and good advice from us'. Somehow I doubt this story will appear on this Met Office webpage.

Could not(some of)those unfortunate people involved in accidents caused because of the non-gritting of roads, due to lack of information, have cause to pursue the Met Office through the courts?
If I were the insurance company involved I'd certainly be looking into it.
That would wake the little buggers up.

Bournemoouth Council have also appointed a private met service as they were unhappy with the MoD's Met Office offerings – see following:

The inference is that the Met Office will continue to provide the forecasts. Doesn't anyone think that the contract should be taken from them and given to a body that can be trusted?

"…the Met Office (have) been asked to attend the next Greater Manchester winter maintenance group meeting to discuss their level of service."

In the case of the Met Office, QoS = <0

What gets me, instead of wasting money on some professional idiots to make a phone call over the obvious. Why didn't Wigan council have a man pop over to the shops and buy one of those temp gauges with an alarm?
Whats all this about talks? They failed! Deny them the business!
I'll give wigan council some free advice. AGW does not exist and its going to become icy again. Sometime soon.
@Bil. You meant Wigan council, right?
7 Cassandra King 28/01/2011 at 5:52 am
The met office contracts with local authorities is supposed to provide weather predictions right? Actually the met office services include advice about how to deal with the consequences of CAGW and planning for the effects of CAGW and how to communicate more effectively the need for awareness about CAGW right through all sectors and levels of local government. The met office provides detailed forecasts(based on modelling of course)to the next century apparently in order for elected officials to make strategic choices and plans for the year 2050-2100 etc.
So the mission of the met office is a political one, its mission consists of raising awareness and promoting political change at local level and always this advice contains CAGW as its core motivation so when Greater Manchester authorities whine and whinge and seek to place blame elsewhere they should really ask themselves about their own insane cultist worship of CAGW. This is the reason they employed the met office in the first place when far cheaper and far more reliable alternatives were available.
Greater Manchester and others didnt want just a forecaster they wanted a partner for the promotion of the CAGW fraud, they paid handsomely for CAGW propaganda and that is what they got so this pathetic squealing is about as genuine as a ten quid Rolex at the car booty. Councils are to blame for not bothering to do a performance and value for money evaluation before signing up with a known CAGW propaganda outfit, what they are trying to do is pass the buck and lay blame and evade responsibility because of all the complaints and insurance claims against it.
Rats in a sack.
Just an added note.
How much did Greater Manchester spend in total on climate related propaganda last year?
How many climate change related employees are employed by them?
What was the value of the contract between the met office and the council and what was the best commercial forecasters quote for the same services?
Who decided to choose the met office over the commercial competition and which forecasters were considered and then rejected?
These simple questions will solve the puzzle.

Cassandra did you know that Manchester City Council employed Common Purpose to facilitate climate change workshops ?

The national grid was left out of the loop too, also flying blind:
Skip to page 7:
National Grid winter outlook
As a result, amongst other things, the predicted highest demand for the winter period was out by an eye-watering 4 Gigawatts:
NETA (skip down to 'indicative triad demand').
This is extremely serious, and people have definitely died and suffered as a result. An underestimate of 4GW could have led to a massive domestic outage and within a few years, it is a certainty that this will happen unless the directive to close the coal-fired stations is ignored in 2015.
Now we have confirmation that the Met Office have lied, who is to be held responsible, where is our courageous, our amazing, our plucky British Mainstream Media?
11 Brownedoff 28/01/2011 at 3:35 pm
"………..the directive to close the coal-fired stations is ignored in 2015"
Those power stations which are due to close by the end of 2015 were designed in the early 1960s with a specified design life of 35 years.
They were constructed and commissioned in the late 1960s/early 1970s, consequently, at that time, they were expected to be retired during the first few years of the 21st century, certainly no later than about 2010.
This was because the CEGB had a rolling programme of new construction as replacements for aging power plants, indeed power stations were retired well within the 35 year design life period. The CEGB was run by engineers who ensured that the fleet of power stations comprised aging plants with known retirement dates and younger plants which were there for replacement and also to meet the forecast rising demand.
Fast forward to the point where businesses with shareholders are in charge of the power stations rather than the CEGB.
When the EU regulations were introduced, the managers of businesses with shareholders who owned the power stations were faced with a choice of action, either keep control of the fate of the power stations based on their own commercial judgement or surrender to EU rules with restricted running hours and a retirement date of 2015.
Therefore the businesses with shareholders had to work out which of the power stations were in such reasonable condition that is was worth spending some money on them so that the businesses remained in charge of how to operate that plant for ongoing profit and the decision to retire power stations would be totally within their control.
Having selected plant in reasonable condition they were left with plants which were running beyond their design life and recognising that they were virtually knackered anyway, therefore just accept that these stations could stagger on within legally restricted running hours and then close by end of 2015 at the latest.
Thus, for these knackered power stations, i.e. those which are still running, bearing in mind some of these plants may be taken out of service before 2015 on commercial grounds, are shut down, the ire if the public can be directed at the EU.
Trebles all round!
IMHO, anybody who thinks that the commencement of power cuts/brown-outs could be deferred by "ignoring EU regulations at the end of 2015" is living in cloud cuckoo land because the plants affected by those regulations will be completely knackered/unservicable by that time.
12 Katabasis 28/01/2011 at 4:22 pm
@Brownedoff,
I take all your points.
The essential point in my post however had nothing to do with what the reasons are, or are not, for the power stations being closed down.
Looking at the publicly available data on which stations are to be retired, and the new stations built to replace them there looks to be a clear shortfall of approximately 2.5 GW.
My point is – and I *think* from your post you would agree – that we are facing a critical shortage in energy very soon, which the government has done nothing to address and further, is dangerously exacerbated by the continuing warmist bias at the Met Office.
Katabasis 28/01/2011 at 4:22 pm
It is very likely that power shortages will materialise from 2015 and could last for many years.
Have you seen these documents from National Grid:
http://www.nationalgrid.com/NR/rdonlyres/9A4B4080-3344-4C6D-8A19-411A867682F2/26834/GoneGreenfor2021.pdf
http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/Electricity/Operating+in+2020/
If these are new to you, then prepare to be gobsmacked.
I hadn't seen those documents Brownedoff, thanks.
Gobsmacked isn't the word. I had to rub my eyes in disbelief – proposed 13.4 to 29.1 GW of energy from windpower from 2020. WTF.
Indeed, even OMG, WTF!
Note the first document is authored by the "UK Communications Adviser at National Grid". See document properties + google.
From another document, it appears that NG are "expecting" the following:
"This vision is based on a scenario which would meet the 2020 UK climate change and renewable energy targets and sets out the requirement to:
• connect c.32GW of wind by 2020;
• account for an unprecedented churn in the generation fleet due to the closure of old fossil fuel and nuclear generation; and
• the expected connection of 12 GW of new gas-fired generation in the same timescales."
see http://www.nationalgrid.com/NR/rdonlyres/A54F1220-7BAA-43C5-B2F7-C45C54409089/35114/FactSheet2020SO1.pdf
Scottish and Southern Energy commented about the "expected" 12GW of new gas-fired generation as follows:
"Given the importance of new gas plant build in providing sufficient flexibility and overall capacity in 2020, proposals to require new CCGTs to be 'capture-ready' are a major
concern. If built, there is a risk that they will be less flexible. More significantly, the risk involved in developing capture-ready gas plant is likely to delay or postpone the build of new capacity. Therefore SSE believes that the proposed Carbon Capture Readiness regulations should not apply to new gas fired generation."
see http://www.nationalgrid.com/NR/rdonlyres/43E176B7-7CB9-4451-BFB7-8CECA326A1A5/38391/ScottishandSouthernEnergy.pdf
Therefore, if those imbeciles in Westminster actually do change the current rules so that new gas-fired generation has to be capture ready, then NG can kiss goodbye to 12GW of new generation!
It really is worse than we thought!

Archives|The Debate Team From a Hardscrabble School Seeks National Honors
The Debate Team From a Hardscrabble School Seeks National Honors
By SHERRI DAY MARCH 14, 2002
Franklin K. Lane High School in Woodside, Queens, has been known more for its students' high dropout rates and and gang activity than for their academic prowess.
But two Lane debaters, Patricia L. Socorro and Rauldan O. Boyce, can now claim some cerebral bragging rights for the school, because Lane's debate team will be one of two high school teams representing New York City at the National Forensics League championships, the country's leading high school debate tournament. The Lane debaters reached this peak last month by defeating teams from top-flight city schools like the Bronx High School of Science and Stuyvesant High School.
More than 200 teams from around the country will compete at the national competition in policy debate, the sport's most rigorous form. (Policy debate is concerned with a major question of social or governmental policy.) A team from Bronx Science, which entered four teams in the district contest, won the other slot to represent New York City schools. (Schools may enter a maximum of four teams.)
It was the first time students from Lane, a school at which 85 percent of students scored below the 50th percentile in reading on eighth-grade standardized tests, had made it to the national tournament. The contest is in June.
''It's an honor,'' said Ms. Socorro, 18, who lives with her mother, a home health care attendant, and two older brothers in Ridgewood, Queens. ''We've worked so hard to get to where we are now. We don't let other teams look down on us at all.'' But when they started competing four years ago, the two were much less confident.
''We were automatically stereotyped as not knowing anything,'' said Mr. Boyce, 17, who lives with his mother, a security guard, in East New York, Brooklyn.
But Ms. Socorro and Mr. Boyce, who have been partners for four years, have a secret weapon: their unflagging commitment to debate.
They research and practice their case -- that the United States should limit the use of weapons of mass destruction -- every day after school for at least three hours. After school practices are over, they often continue at each other's homes, where they use the Internet and read newspapers to research their topic. Mr. Boyce quit his part-time job in sales at a clothing store to devote more time to debate, and Ms. Socorro often turns down social invitations.
''They're completely self-motivated,'' said Caterina Lafergola, a second-year teacher who coaches the debate team at Lane. ''If I would let them, they would stay here until 7 o'clock at night.''
Ms. Socorro and Mr. Boyce are seniors who joined Lane's debate team in their freshman year. Mr. Boyce, who wants to be a doctor, joined with an eye toward finding a way to pay for college. (He has been offered an $8,000 debate scholarship to Pace University.) A budding lawyer, Ms. Socorro joined because her English teacher told her she had a gift for making solid arguments. (She has received five scholarship offers from universities like St. John's and Pace.)
Debate has traditionally been dominated by the elite schools. Budget cuts in the 1980's wiped out most local debate programs, though programs at Stuyvesant and Bronx Science continued to flourish.
But five years ago, the New York Urban Debate League was begun, with the goal of making debate, and specifically policy debate, accessible to city students from all races and socioeconomic classes, said Will Baker, the executive director of the Impact Coalition, a nonprofit organization that runs the program in New York.
On average, the coalition provides the debate league's 40 member schools with $10,000 a year each for competition expenses, including travel, lodging and registration fees. Last year, the debate league sent its first member team, Hostos-Lincoln Academy, to the national championships. Lane's advancement this year shows that the league's schools can compete consistently at the national level.
Melissa Maxcy Wade, director of forensics at Emory University and a founding consultant for the New York Urban Debate League, was happy but not surprised by the success of the Lane team. ''You're not supposed to be able to be competitive with certain kinds of schools because you go to a certain kind of school,'' she said, ''and when those achievements are made it's a huge ripple effect through the population, because if these students can do it, then anybody can.''
But even with outside help, maintaining a good debate program at Lane, where 78.1 percent of all students are eligible for free lunches and only 34 percent graduate after four years, has not been easy, Ms. Lafergola said. The photocopying machines in the English department are broken, so the 12 members of the debate team pay for copies with their own money. Until recently, the debaters could not use the school's computers to do research, so they did it on their home computers.
Then there are the psychological hardships. Although debate medals, plaques and trophies now outnumber the awards for athletic sports in the school's trophy case, the students still struggle for respect. The debate bulletin board has been stripped of most of its photographs.
''I'm happy that they defeated Bronx Science because that means that next time, they'll have more respect for the New York Urban Debate League,'' said Danielle Alvarez, 16, a member of Lane's debate team. ''That gives us a bigger name.''
Correction: March 15, 2002
An article yesterday about the debate team at Franklin K. Lane High School misidentified the neighborhood in Queens where the school is located. It is Woodhaven, not Woodside.

TED DEKKER is a New York Times bestselling thriller author. Heralded as a "master of suspense" by Library Journal, Dekker has sold millions worldwide, establishing himself as one of the most widely recognized author brands.
He began his career writing fantasy novels that explored spirituality (Black, Red and White) and has since become a major force in the mainstream fiction arena with his recent thrillers, "Adam," "Thr3e," "Skin," "Obsessed," "BoneMan's Daughters," which landed in the #10 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list in 2009, and "The Bride Collector". Dekker has been honored with a Christy Award as well as a Gold Medallion Award for Best Fiction. "Thr3e" and his novel "House" became feature films.
Dekker was born to missionaries and grew up among cannibals of Indonesia, and his peculiar upbringing gives him a unique perspective outside the cultural bubble, allowing him the freedom to share provocative insights in his fiction. After leaving Indonesia, Dekker graduated from a multi-cultural high school and took up permanent residence in the United States, earning his B.A. in philosophy and religion, and then went into business.
In the early nineties, Dekker decided to pursue his desire to write fiction, selling his company, moving his family to the mountains of western Colorado, and writing full-time. Two years and three books later his first novel, a supernatural thriller called Heaven's Wager, was published. Dekker proceeded to write 6 more supernatural thrillers, rising to the top of many bestsellers lists and earning himself critical acclaim and legions of fans. "Thr3e" heralded his launch into mainstream fiction and was followed by "Obsessed," "Skin," "Adam," and "BoneMan's Daughters," all of which hit the New York Times bestseller list.

Pollution from discarded single-use plastics poses a major threat to wildlife and leaves our beaches littered with trash. A portion of that trash is made up of single-use plastic straws and stirrers that do not naturally break down. Plastic straws and stirrers are small enough to be accidentally ingested by wildlife and, rather than break down naturally in the environment like paper or wood-based products, plastic straws break down into smaller and smaller pieces. These "microplastics" are easily eaten by organisms as small as plankton, allowing the ingested plastic to travel up the food chain, even to us humans.
In 2018, your Miami Waterkeeper fought for the implementation of a ban on the distribution of plastic straws in the Village of Key Biscayne. Passed unanimously by the Village Council, the straw ordinance prohibits commercial establishments from distributing plastic straws starting January 1, 2019. The ordinance also contains exceptions for those who need a straw due to a medical or physical condition. The Village of Pinecrest, Surfside, and Miami Beach have also taken steps to reduce plastic pollution by implementing plastic straw bans. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to plastic straws that work just as well and are kinder to the environment including paper, steel, sugar cane, and wooden straws.
The Miami Waterkeeper Team with Mayor Mayra Lindsay after a successful ban on plastic straws in the Village of Key Biscayne.
While these victories are worth celebrating, there is still significant work that needs to be done. Florida's legislature has worked to preempt local regulation of sources of plastic pollution by passing statutes that prevent localities from banning products like plastic bags and polystyrene (Styrofoam) containers. Known as home rule and based on the idea that government should be closer to the people, Florida's constitution allows local governments to regulate in any area the state can unless the legislature expressly or impliedly preempts certain subjects. These preemptions preventing local governments from regulating plastics are an attack on cities' and counties' home rule powers. Miami Waterkeeper will continue to fight for fishable, swimmable, drinkable water as well as fight for local home rule power so local governments can continue to make progress in the interest of environmental protection.

This is the first in a new series of recordings by Ricercar devoted to German Baroque keyboard music. Scheidt and Scheidemann both worked with Sweelinck in Amsterdam before returning to Halle and Hamburg respectively; this disc alternates groups of pieces by both of them. The CD cover writes of the 'introverted Scheidt and the more flamboyant Scheidemann' but the choice of works and the playing here seems to invert this binary divide. Apart from a lively Gagliarda, the Scheidemann tracks – four Praeambula and his Pavana Lachrymae – are played rather solemnly and a touch too carefully for my taste. There is more flamboyance on display in some Scheidt variation sets, particularly those on Also geht's, also steht's and O Gott, wir danken deiner Güt. It is a pity that the track change has been mis-positioned between the latter and the previous track. The most interesting piece is probably the final extended Fantasia on Palestrina's Io son ferito which displays some challenging rising and falling chromatic fourths, which also stretch the temperament. Moulin plays on an Andreas Ruckers copy by Philippe Humeau which works very well for the music and recording quality is excellent. The playing is a bit too safe and respectful overall, but this is a useful introduction to early Baroque German keyboard music.


Founded in April 2009, the Kantara Initiative was conceived as an open, global organization with the mission of promoting interoperability and technology harmonization across the myriad identity solutions available and under development. With the proliferation of single-protocol solutions being pursued, the founders of the Kantara Initiative set out to promote the deployment of heterogeneous protocols, standards, and solutions for vendors and end users within the entire network identity ecosystem.
As can be expected, it was a huge undertaking to corral enough industry and community support for this idea to move onto the world stage. Key to the success in setting it up was the contribution of time, effort, and intellectual capital from the Liberty Alliance. In 2008, the Liberty Alliance board of trustees foresaw the need for a new organization that would support all of the major industry solutions and community standards, promoting component-level interoperability while also addressing the related business, legal, and regulatory issues. Thus, the Liberty Alliance began the effort of reaching out to other organizations to form Kantara.
Among the organizations agreeing to found Kantara with this mission were the Internet Society, the Information Card Foundation, the DataPortability Project, and XDI.org. This extended set of organizations added to the existing industry leaders within Liberty, such as AOL, British Telecommunications, CA, Intel, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems. Together, they began working on structuring an inclusive environment conducive to multiple points of view and to collaboration at a global scale. The result is an organization with no membership fees to participate and with a truly transparent operating structure.
These threads can be seen in the various Kantara working groups. While all operate under one governance umbrella-and communication and coordination among groups are encouraged through joint membership on a Leadership Council-each working group has a distinct mandate and set of deliverables.
E-Government: Facilitates collaboration and discussion among Kantara groups with an interest in e-government identity management applications and services. This group acts as a forum to discuss best practices by government organizations on national, regional, and municipal levels and offers government-subject-matter expertise in the development of Kantara Initiative policy recommendations and specifications.
Healthcare Identity Assurance: Designs, implements, and tests reference applications for secure access to health information. One example use case under consideration is for consumers to be able to access their health records with a standardized login system. Another is a way for emergency workers to access critical health information during emergencies or natural disasters.
Identity Assurance: Fosters the adoption of trusted online identity services, identifying and resolving specific obstacles to their market and commercial acceptance. This group is actively working toward the development of a global standard framework necessary to support trusted identity service providers.
Information Sharing: Identifies and documents use cases that illustrate the benefits and challenges of user-driven information sharing. By focusing on the benefits and addressing the obstacles, the group specifies the policy and technology solutions that are required to enable a smooth and effective information flow.
Privacy and Public Policy: Focuses on the interplay between privacy, technology, and policy, and aims to ensure that Kantara contributes to better privacy outcomes for users, data custodians, and other stake-holders. This group engages with a diverse range of privacy stakeholders, understanding their different perspectives, translating and mediating between them as necessary, and documenting privacy-related principles and good practices applicable to a broad range of prevalent technology platforms.
User-Managed Access: Develops specifications that let an individual control the authorization of data sharing and service access made between online services on the individual's behalf, and to facilitate interoperable implementations. The group expedites the process of collaborating with different communities on a draft solution that meets their shared goals that cross community boundaries.
Rather than setting up another standards body, the Kantara Initiative focuses on incubation of ideas and concepts. If specifications emerge from the groups, they are then submitted to other standards-setting organizations for adoption and operational maintenance. Each chartered group that anticipates producing specifications selects the standards body to which it expects to contribute its work when it is fleshed out. For example, some groups are targeting the W3C, others are looking to OASIS, and some have their sights on the IETF.
A prime example of this process is the User-Managed Access (UMA) working group. The work incubated in UMA illustrates how the Kantara Initiative fosters innovation, interoperability, and community. This group is developing specifications that empower an individual to control the authorization of data sharing and service access made between online services on an individual's behalf, thereby allowing for permissioned data sharing even if the user's entire set of data is hosted on many different servers.
To foster the adoption and building of a modular solution, the group is profiling and extending OAuth-related specifications already under development at the IETF (the ultimate destination identified for UMA specifications) while attracting participation from a wide variety of stakeholders who might normally have difficulty participating in such an effort were a membership fee required. One of the group's goals is to facilitate multiple interoperable implementations, and it has worked with Kantara leadership to develop a bounty programme for attracting development interest in a UMA protocol validator.
With work like this under its umbrella, the Kantara Initiative has moved from concept to fully functioning reality with broad global support across all sectors of the identity ecosystem. And with a growing membership-including additions such as Neustar, PayPal, NTT, Danish National IT, Deutsche Telekom, and the government of Canada-the organization is healthy and beginning to hit its stride. Participation is key to the success of the mission, and with stakeholders easily able to sit at the table, the organization will surely realize its full potential.

Did You Know GMT-1 Charles (Chuck) Johnson?
My husband, GMT-1 Charles (Chuck) Johnson, was stationed at WSMR from 1967 to 1969 and I would like to get in touch with some of the friends we made while living there. Chuck passed away in 1989 at the age of 43, but our son was born on base and I have many wonderful memories of the two years we were there and the friends we made. I would like to find anyone who worked with my husband, as I am writing a book for our two sons and thought it would be good to include as much as possible about their father. Chuck was very tall, (6' 5") slim, blond, blue eyes. He was Navy whose shore duty brought him to WSMR where he worked with the missiles (NASA).
Some of these friends were Pat and Tom Kelly (they had 9 children),

WHERE ARE THE SIGNAL CORPS TROOPS FROM OSCURA RANGE CAMP,
WHITE SANDS PROVING GROUNDS, 1953?
Thus far I have the names of Stanley, Belladona, and Crockett but I do not know where you are? And how about the others? Who could forget the many adventures we had at the Camp?
Remember the wave of locusts that took over for several days and no matter where we went they were there: in the mess hall, in our food, in our beds, and crunching under our feet as we walked in the barracks and outside. Finally, in an act of desperation, we filled fifty gallon drums of fuel and ignited them after sundown. Then we sat back as if it were the Fourth of July, watching the fireworks some five hundred yards away with the drums full of flames lighting up the night sky and attracting thousands upon thousands of locusts as they dove into the flames and the sounds of sizzling, crackling insects resounded everywhere.
Remember the morning we walked down to the latrine and when we opened the doors we found tarantulas everywhere: they covered the several mirrors attached to the walls, they were all over the toilets, and they covered like wallpaper most of the inside. Of course, the latrine was off limits for two or three days, and as suddenly as the spiders had appeared they just as silently disappeared.
Who can forget our medic who used his ambulance as a roving bedroom, taking his dates out in his fancy wheels and having the best of privacy anywhere?
Remember the trips we took to Gran Quivira, prospecting for Indian arrowheads and imagining the days long ago when native Americans were the only inhabitants in that part of the world?
And who can forget the drives down to the main post one hundred miles away to pick up mail and food and doing eighty-five or ninety miles an hour on a mostly unoccupied open desert highway? Or returning and being caught by a sandstorm, lucky to come out of it alive, however, noting that the newly applied brown paint on the military vehicle was missing as though it had been peeled straight away?
Remember the coyote we found as a pup and tried to raise it like a common dog?
How about the trip up to Oscura Peak, over 8,000 feet elevation, to bring mail and supplies to the men living in that camp, all the while going up and down that perilous, winding mountain road that you swore was constructed by the goats who lived in the valley below.
There is much more we shared, especially our visits to Carrizozo and Joe's Yucca Bar, where you could borrow spending money until next pay day. We could dance the two-step to the great western singers belting out songs that were at the top of the charts, like Your Cheaten Heart. And don't forget those fantastic clear nights at the Camp; the neighborhood planetarium paled beside the enormous, starry sky, brilliant in its natural majesty, as though held aloft by the immense mountain ranges encircling the valley.
Of course, there is more, for Oscura Camp was a special place where we did our jobs tracking the missiles and sending the information along in professional and responsible ways. Remember our CO, Thomas G. Marshall Jr. Where are you, Lt.,? You were absolutely the best! Remember Richard W. Steele, our civilian Chief of the Radio Branch? Where is Mr. Steele today? Let's hear from all of the vets of Oscura Range Camp, 1953!
The photo was taken in 1953 and the Sig Corps men are Schwendinger, Stanley, Belladona, and Crockett on the porch of our illustrious mess hall.

Oral History Program
The Space Center at Alamorgordo, N.M. is currently conducting an Oral History Program. This program involves interviewing individuals, military and civilian, who worked at White Sands Proving Ground (WSPG), now White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), or Holloman Air Force Base (HAFB) at any period since they were created.
The International Space Hall of Fame Foundation has funded the collection of oral histories and this program is on-going. They are trying to preserve the first-hand knowledge of the space and missile programs that were conducted in the Tularosa Basin. To prevent the loss of this knowledge, the Space Center would like to interview as many people as possible. The interview will be recorded on audio tape and video tape and then transcribed to a printed copy. The person being interviewed controls the editorial use of the data obtained during the interview and received a printed copy of the transcript.
To participate, contact the Space Center at (575) 437-2840 or 1-800-545-4021.
