FOIA Access to Information Scorecard 2015: State Department Gets an "F"
March 10, 2015 By domani spero in Huh? News, Regulations, Spectacular, State Department, Technology and Work, Transparency, Trends Tags: "F", Center for Effective Government, FOIA, FOIA Backlog, Freedom of Information Act, GP, OpenGov
Posted: 5:27 pm EDT
Updated: March 13, 8:54 pm EDT, WSJ video added
Yesterday, we did a snapshot of the FOIA operation in FY2014 based on the State Department's annual reporting.
The following excerpt extracted from Making the Grade, Access to Information Scorecard 2015 (pdf) originally published by the Center for Effective Government. To support their work, please check them out here.
A building block of American democracy is the idea that citizens have a right to information
about how their government works and what it does in their name. An informed citizenry is a key component of a healthy democracy. And without detailed information about what government does, citizens can't hold their elected and appointed officials accountable for their actions.
These values were codified into law in 1966 with the passage of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This law gives anyone a right to request information from government agencies
and requires agencies to promptly provide that information unless disclosure would harm a "specifically protected interest" established by law; protecting the personal privacy rights of individuals is one such interest. Over the years, millions of citizens have benefitted from the law's disclosure of information about the safety of consumer products, environmental health risks in their communities, and public spending.
This is the second year the Center for Effective Government has conducted an in-depth analysis of FOIA implementation for the 15 federal agencies that together received over 90 percent of all the freedom of information requests in 2012 and 2013 (the most recent years for which data is available).
Image from Center for Effective Government
The Department of State score (37 percent) was particularly dismal. While its website is a bright spot for the agency (with a solid 80 percent on that sub-score), its 23 percent processing score is completely out of line with any other agency's performance.
The State Department was the only agency in the scorecard whose rules do not require staff to notify requesters when processing is delayed, even though this is mandated by law.
While 65 percent of its requests were simple, only eight percent were processed within the required 20 days. The State Department had the second-largest request backlog and the third-lowest rate of fully-granted requests. Only 51 percent of requests were granted in full or in part at the State Department. The agency also had the longest average processing time for appeals – 540 days, or roughly a year and a half – and the second-largest backlog of appeals.

Argghhhh! Whaaat?
Email System
The State Department has multiple automated information systems. All employees, including locally employed staff and contractors (apparently with the exception of Secretary Clinton and who knows how many others), have state.gov email addresses for use in their unclassified workstations. But not everyone has classified access and in some places, you have to go to a controlled location just to read your classified email. Here is a quick description from publicly available documents:
OpenNet is the Department's internal network (intranet), which provides access to Department-specific Web pages, email, and other resources.
ClassNet is the Department's worldwide national security information computer network and may carry information classified at or below the Secret level.
SMART-SBU or just "SMART" replaces existing Department of State unclassified email and cable systems with a Microsoft Outlook-based system.
SMART-C is the Classified State Messaging and Archive Retrieval Toolset
No one "scans" emails for classified material?
The real question seems to be — well, if all her email communication was conducted through a private email server — how can we be sure that no classified and sensitive information were transmitted using her private email account? We can't, how can we?
However, for ordinary employees with badges and logins, an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) has "read access to the employee's mailbox to ensure that no messages contain classification levels higher than that allowed on the authorized information system" (see 12 FAM 640-pdf). Which seems to indicate that ISSOs as a matter of course, "scan" State Department electronic mailboxes and files to ensure that there are no material there beyond "Sensitive But Unclassified" in the unclass system, for example.
Moving on to fumigation
Anyways — remember the WikiLeaks fallout? At that time, federal employees and contractors who believe they may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified or sensitive information on computers that access the web via non-classified government systems, or without prior authorization, were told to contact their information security offices for assistance.
If the unthinkable does happen, their unclassified computers required the equivalent of um… let's say, digital "fumigation." But who does that for private email servers?
The office that handles FOIA requests is the Office of Information Programs and Services (A/GIS/IPS/RL) under the Bureau of Administration. The Department also has its own chief information officer. Can we please have the State Department's IT and FOIA experts talk about this from the podium? Please, please, please, pretty please, this is getting more painful to watch every day.
[grabpress_video guid="7ebdc05049ec1cf964f05708abe166946e545cb4″]
In related news — when you see reports that US embassies have been cited multiple times by State/OIG for use of "personal email folders," we suggest you take a deep breath. That's not/not the same as the use of personal private emails like Yahoo or Gmail. What those OIG reports are probably referring to are the personal storage folders, also known as .pst files in Microsoft Outlook on the employees' hard disk drives. Why would you want to save your emails in the personal folders of your computer?
Because a .pst file is kept on your computer, it is not subject to mailbox size limits on the mail server. By moving items to a .pst file on your computer, you can free up storage space in the mailbox on your mail server.
Just because you have classification authority, must you?
Below is an excerpt from the State Department Classification Guide | January 2005, Edition 1 (pdf via the Federation of American Scientists)
High Level Correspondence. This includes letters, diplomatic notes or memoranda or other reports of telephone or face-to-face conversations involving foreign chiefs of state or government, cabinet-level officials or comparable level figures, e.g., leaders of opposition parties. It should be presumed that this type of information should be classified at least CONFIDENTIAL, though the actual level of classification will depend upon the sensitivity of the contained information and classification normally assigned by the U.S. to this category of information. Information from senior officials shall normally be assigned a classification duration of at least ten years. Some subjects, such as cooperation on matters affecting third countries, or negotiation of secret agreements, would merit original classification for up to 25 years.
One thing to remember here, and it's an important one — the secretary of state is the highest classification authority at the State Department.
CFR 2005 Title 22 Volume I Section 9-10:
(a) In the Department of State authority for original classification of information as ''Top Secret'' may be exercised only by the Secretary of State and those officials delegated this authority in writing, by position or by name, by the Secretary or the DAS/ CDC, as the senior official, on the basis of their frequent need to exercise such authority.
But why would the USG's classification guide or classification authority even apply to an email server that apparently is not owned nor physically possessed or maintained by the State Department?
No one is coming out of this smelling like roses
The 67th secretary of state exclusively used private email during her entire tenure at the State Department. She left the State Department on February 1, 2013. The official word is that in October 2014 — to improve record-keeping or something — the State Department "reached out to all of the former secretaries of state to ask them to provide any records they had," Secretary Clinton reportedly sent back "55,000 pages of documents to the State Department very shortly" after the letter was sent to her. "She was the only former Secretary of State who sent documents back in to this request," said Ms. Harf. This storyline is not even walking quite straight anymore according to the NYT's follow-up report of March 5.
What appears clear is that the USG cannot possibly know the answer to the endless questions surrounding these emails since it does not have possession of the private email server used in the conduct of official business. But somebody must know how this set-up came to be in 2009. What originated this, what security, if any were put in placed?
As if we don't have enough disturbing news … have you seen this?

But 56th took his files with him!
In related news, the National Security Archive filed suit against the State Department this week under the Freedom of Information Act to force the release of the last 700 transcripts of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's telephone calls (telcons). The Archive's appeal of State's withholding dates back to 2007.
Archive Sues State Department Over Kissinger Telcons #FOIA http://t.co/NO2WDRHvV1
The 56th secretary of state had reportedly removed the telcons, along with his memcons and office files, from the State Department when he left office at the end of 1976. According to the FOIA-released declassification guide for the State Department "information that still requires protection beyond 25 years should be classified for only as long as considered necessary to protect the national security."
But … but …it's been almost 40 years, heeeellloo!
Where are we again? Oh, utterly distressed by this whole thing.

Leaked Guccifer emails did say "confidential" but the purported sender of those emails was no longer in USG service and presumably, no longer had any classification authority.

Hurrrrrrry!
The exchange below, courtesy of state.gov:
QUESTION: Okay. Can you say whether you will wait until the review of all 55,000 pages is done before you release any, or will you look at one and say, "Okay, this one is okay," and then turn it over?
MS. PSAKI: I would not anticipate we release page by page, but I don't have any prediction for how the process will run at this point in terms of the public release.
QUESTION: And did you ever get the answer – and I – you may have, I don't know; and I apologize because I wasn't here – whether these were handed – were given to you by her office electronically or in paper?
MS. PSAKI: In paper.
QUESTION: So they pulled up a backloader or something into the – (laughter) – I mean, what did they come in with, a truck full of – 55,000 pages is a lot, so —
MS. PSAKI: That is a lot, yes.
QUESTION: So I'm just curious, were they boxed up? Were they – are they just all jumbled together? Are they in order of date or by topic?
MS. PSAKI: There were several boxes back —
QUESTION: Several?
MS. PSAKI: Yes.
QUESTION: 55,000 pages, several boxes? (Laughter.)
MS. PSAKI: That is quite a few boxes, which speaks to – it did cover – these do cover the span of her time at the State Department. In terms of what the boxes look like or the order, I don't have that level of detail.
QUESTION: Okay. But I mean, you believe – and you're taking them at their word that they separated out all of the emails from her private account that are business related, and that that 55,000 pages is the universe but – and you think that they've been cooperative. So that would imply that you don't think that they just dumped them in all in a box willy-nilly – or boxes – and gave them to you.
I mean, how exactly is this review going about? Is it chronological? Are you just picking up a box – or whoever's doing it – just picking up one box here and going through this? I'm just wondering if there's any order or system to —
MS. PSAKI: I certainly understand your questions. Because this is just underway – obviously, this is new as of last week, as you just outlined in your question – I don't have anything at this point to outline in terms of the order of the process. If there's more details, I'm sure we can share those.
QUESTION: I believe the question came up last week about whether IRM, your Information Resources Management people, or DS had taken a look at the arrangements that she had at her home in Chappaqua and determined that they were okay and not – that they met standards for not being compromised.
MS. PSAKI: It did come up last week. I don't have any update on that at this point.

See also TP & KM v UK (1998) 26 EHRR CD 84, one of the cases arising from the decision of the House of Lords in X v Bedfordshire County Council [1995] 2 AC 633, in which the Commission found an infringement of Article 8 due to the "careless" removal of a child into care. The case is currently pending before the Grand Chamber of the Court. 24 See, for example, Dudgeon v UK (1981) 4 EHRR 149; Sutherland v UK (Commission Decision of 1 July 1997) [1998] EHRLR 117; Cossey v UK (1991) 13 EHRR 622 (no violation) but see B v France (1993) 16 EHRR 1; Modinos v Cyprus (1993) 16 EHRR 485; Smith & Grady v UK [1999] IRLR 734 (the homosexuals in the military case); Salgueiro da Silva Monta v Portugal (2001) 31 EHRR 47 (homosexuality and custody of the applicant's daughter; violation of Art 8 taken together with Art 14); ADT v UK (2001) 31 EHRR 33 (prosecution and conviction of a man for engaging in non-violent homosexual acts in private with up to four other men was a violation of Art 8).
Only some of this case law post-dated Winer. 85 CD 112. 86 CD 112. Privacy v Freedom of Expression under the ECHR  Thus the Commission emphasised the "duties and responsibilities" which attend the Article 10 right of freedom of expression, and contemplated that if there were no "actionable remedy" through which the applicants could obtain redress for the invasion of their privacy which they had suffered, this could be in breach of Article 8. In the event, and particularly taking account of the clarification of the scope and extent of actions for breach of confidence since the time of the Decision in the Winer case, the Commission concluded that the applicants had failed to exhaust their domestic remedies by failing to pursue their action in breach of confidence.

Q: Establish a connection between the raspberry and mongodb I created a database on my pc and I wanted to create a javascript script using node, which would allow me to access all the database data installed on my pc. I tried to establish a connection between raspberry and my pc locally using the same router. Unfortunately, it always gives me connection errors.
Looking a bit on the internet I found many posts about "bindIp" of mongodb, but despite several tests found the same problem.
network interfaces
net:
   port: 27017
   #bindIp: 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.8
sorry for my English.
Code raspberry:

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var url = "mongodb://168.192.1.6:27017/"; //ip my pc and mongodb

var day = new Date();

MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
  if (err) throw err;
  var dbo = db.db("qadrio");
  dbo.collection("pin").findOne({}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("NAME DEVICE: "+ result.name);
    console.log("ERROR: "+ err);
    db.close();
  });
});

I'm not an expert so I ask for help from you users. I would like to understand how it is done. I think the problem is mongodb itself that blocks external connections except the local ones of the pc.

Hallaq demonstrates that it used to be the development of the absolutist authority of the college founder, a picture which he indicates was once really constructed later in heritage, that maintained the rules of college technique and hermeneutics. The protection of that method gave upward thrust to an unlimited number of person felony critiques, finally accomodating alterations within the legislation. therefore the writer concludes that the mechanisms of switch have been embedded within the very constitution of Islamic legislation, regardless of its basically conservative nature.

Anne Bang focuses at the ways that a specific Islamic brotherhood, or 'tariqa', the tariqa Alawiyya, unfold, maintained and propagated their specific model of the Islamic religion. Originating within the South-Yemeni sector of Hadramawt, the Alawi tariqa ordinarily unfold alongside the coast of the Indian Ocean.

35. , 57–58. , 41. , 22. 16 Authority, continuity, and change in Islamic law The fourth rank differs from the preceding three in that it is defined in terms of taqlCd, not ijtihAd. 41 Their ability to practice takhrCj is due to their competence in uQEl, including knowledge of how rules were derived by the predecessors. It is their task to resolve juridical ambiguities and tilt the scale in favor of one of two or more opinions that govern a case. This they do by virtue of their skills in legal reasoning and analogical inference.
Hallaq, "From FatwAs to FurE c: Growth and Change in Islamic Substantive Law," Islamic Law and Society, 1 (February 1994): 39. The fact that in terms of hierarchical authority Abe nancfa stood first did not mean that his opinion had precedence in all cases. When, for example, the two disciples held the same view, and the master held another, the jurist was allowed to adopt the opinion of the disciples. See cUmar b. cAbd al-cAzcz al-nusam al-Shahcd Ibn Maza, SharM Adab al-QAKC, ed. Abe al-Wafa al-Afghanc and Mumammad Hashimc (Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-cIlmiyya, 1414/1994), 20.
The first group would then be equivalent to Ibn al-ralam's type 5, with the difference that Ibn Rushd does not see them as entitled to issue fatwAs. Perhaps the most salient feature of these typologies, especially the Shaficite and nanafite varieties, is that they sketch the diachronic and synchronic contours of Islamic legal history generally, and the development of the respective schools in particular. They sketch this history in terms of the authority and scope of hermeneutical activity, two separate domains that are nonetheless intimately interconnected.

Q: How to make images height/width/padding auto scale to fit images in properly What I want to do is have the images on this site change in width and height (they should be equal) between 50-60px. However between them they all need to have a minimum padding of 5px. This can vary depending on the size of the images, this is the case as the two end images need to fit to the edges of the parent div, to align with an image about it. The height/width/padding should all change to ensure the images are still properly aligned when then screen size changes.
If you look at this page you will be able to see what I mean. The images that need to change are the grey squares at the bottom.
http://media.gaigo.org/work2.html
This is my html:

and my css is as follows:
smallImages div {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 5px;
}
.smallImages div img {
    max-width: 60px;
    min-width: 50px;
    max-height: 60px;
    min-height: 50px;
}

Sorry if this seems confusing. Just ask if you need me to explain more.

A: One option is to set percentage widths, however that number percentage is dependent upon the number of images in your row. See this example:

* {
  box-sizing:border-box; /* You need this so that heights and widths are inclusive of padding and border */
}
.container {
  width:400px; /* set this to whatever you like, it should work still */
  padding:5px;
  border:1px solid;
}
.row {
  width:100%;
  padding:0 5px;
}
.row img {
  padding:5px;
}
.row.one img {
  width:100%;
}
.row.two img {
  width:50%;
}
.row.three img {
  width:33.33%;
}
.row.four img {
  width:25%;
}

Putting HTML comments between lines means there's no white space between the images.

A: This is what you are after.
Display inline-block wont let the images behave in that manner you need to use table.
You should just check the source code of the site you are working from..

 .row {
   display: table-row;
 }
 .smallImages {
   padding-left: 0px;
   margin-bottom: 0px;
   display: table;
   text-align: center;
 }
 .smallImages .row div {
   display: table-cell;
   padding: 5px;
 }
 .smallImages .row div:first-child {
   padding-left: 0;
 }
 .smallImages .row div img {
   max-width: 100%;
 }
 img {
   border: 0;
 }


While your child comes from both of his parents, he is also developing into his own being with his own dreams, aspirations, and goals that are likely different from yours. You must be willing to feel separate from your child in order to be able to help him in the best way possible. If your own life is full and you are secure in your identity, it is much easier to hold the following truth close to your heart I have my own life that is separate from my child's and right now I am sharing my life with my child.
There may be many resources available to you through your workplace to help with work and personal issues in your life. Here are some suggestions Find out about flexible work and time-off policies. Your employer may offer flexible work hours, part-time work, working from home, or other flexible work arrangements. These can make a big difference in your life as a single parent.
You have probably experienced a sinking feeling in your stomach following criticism, an attack, a put-down or a nasty remark. Some children have a thick skin and laugh it off, but you may experience it like an arrow through the heart. If you have been bullied or harassed for years, you will feel very bruised and battered. This lowers your self-esteem further your social skills deteriorate, you withdraw from others, and other areas of your life, such as schoolwork or health, become problematic. A downward spiral is created.
Most kids have a core of true, close friends with whom they share their ups and downs. Then they have a group of acquaintances with whom they socialise. They are not as close to them emotionally and don't share everything to the extent they do with their core group. But both groups change constantly, depending upon what is going on in your life and theirs.
That this applies equally to them and whilst it is vitally important that you both spend time together and be a couple rather than just parents, it is still important to maintain your own identity. Whilst your children are a pivotal part of your life and caring for them and worrying about them probably occupies every waking hour, without taking a break in some way, however small, the stress will eventually take its toll and the whole family will suffer.
Time for yourself can seem impossible in the midst of all the demands of a job and a baby. If you don't have enough time for those, how can you have time just for yourself Well, it's not easy, but it's a necessity, not a luxury. You don't stop having needs just because you're surrounded by the needs of others. In fact, if you don't take care of your own needs, you won't have the physical and emotional energy to be there for others who depend on you. Time for yourself renews and refreshes you, and actually helps you do a better job in all areas of your life.
This approach is almost certain to meet with some resistance from your child. She wants to be the sole center of your universe. But you are meeting one of her needs as part of Principle 3. Your child must not think she runs the family or that her wishes are her parents' commands. If both of her parents are together, she must understand that the relationship between the parents is a sacred relationship in the family so that each parent can give her what she needs. It is healthy for your child to know that you love her and cherish her, have a lifelong commitment to her, and will always give her what she needs, but that she is not the only person at the center of your life. Helping your child understand this is an incalculably valuable gift because this helps her to grow, evolve and become her own person in charge of her own life.
The online secular parenting communities in the resources section often allow people to list their city or state and provide a way to send targeted or private messages. Find some secular parents who live in your area and have kids of similar ages and suggest going to a local museum, zoo, swimming pool, park, or other nearby attraction for families. Meet the parents and kids, and if things go well, suggest a regular every-other Saturday outing, or a weekly rotating playdate parent get-together. No need to complicate your life by creating a website, doing promotions, and creating an organization with officers and budget in this case.
It also means finding time-saving tips and tricks to simplify your life as much as possible. The less time you spend on chores, errands, and looking for misplaced school forms and library books, the more time you will have to devote to the important things spending time with your child and making time for you.

A Selfless mum who chose to postpone her own cancer treatment in a bid to give her unborn son a chance at life has died.
Brianna Rawlings, 19, passed away on December 29, 2018 after losing her battle with leukaemia.
The teen, from Sydney, was just 17 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with the rare and aggressive form of blood cancer.
Brianna was given the heartbreaking choice of either terminating her pregnancy or carrying her son to full term.
She decided to delay her own treatment in order to birth her baby, effectively halving her chance of survival.
Baby Kayden was born three months early via emergency C-section, after Brianna began suffering excruciating pain and fevers.
Devastatingly, she contracted a blood infection which she then passed onto her baby who had to be delivered three months early via emergency caesarian.
He clung to life for 12 days before passing away, which Brianna called "the best 12 days of my life" – after which point Brianna concentrated on fighting her own battle.
Speaking at the time, she told the Mail: "It's been very hard, long, exhausting and painful. Even though Kyden is no longer with us he gave me the strength to go on and beat this.
After the horrific ordeal, Brianna seemed to experience a miraculous improvement in her health.
She was finally able to leave hospital for day trips, her blood levels were rising, her muscles seemed to be working.
But her condition started to deteriorate again.
An offer of a bone marrow transplant from her brother was rejected by medics, who said her only option was to go on a drug trial that could save her life, at the cost of $3000 (£1667) every three weeks.
Her family began to fundraise for the treatment but after just two injections, Brianna lost her battle.
Leukaemia is a blood cancer that affects cells in the bone marrow and attacks the immune system.
There are a number of different types of the disease (acute or chronic, myeloid or lymphocytic) and there's no obvious cause, although it occurs when the body makes too many abnormal white blood cells.
That then leads the body becoming vulnerable to infections.
She died just days after her 19th birthday.


What is the normal cycle the average woman will have a period? Most women experience what is considered an irregular menstrual cycle on occasion, but the normal time between periods is typically 25 to 31 days, counting from day 1 to day 1, or CD1, with each period lasting approximately 4 to 7 days. The average length of a menstrual cycle is 28 days, with a period lasting 5 days, but keep in mind that this is definitely not the case for every woman.
Some women experience extremely long menstrual cycles, or those that are further than 31 days apart. Long menstrual cycles are commonly referred to as abnormal, although it may not be abnormal for you if your cycle is consistent.
An irregular menstrual cycle is one that varies from month to month; for instance, you have a menstrual cycle that is 26 days long one month and 31 days the next month, or vice versa. Stress, tension, medication, and caffeine can result in an irregular menstrual cycle. Caffeine interrupts the purpose of the corpus leuteum and acts as a blood thinner, yet another reason to drink beverages containing caffeine only in moderation. Smoking cigarettes is another surprising affecter of menstrual cycles. The toxin produced by heavy smoking abbreviates the follicular phase and can reduce the duration of the luteal phase. If you are a heavy drinker, you could also see irregular menstrual cycles as a result.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, causes irregular menstrual cycles since it creates an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone, the female reproductive hormones. PCOS also causes significant increases in the amount of hormones called androgens, which are typically seen in men. Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome usually do not ovulate; they tend to develop small cysts instead of releasing mature eggs.
Your healthcare professional will review your medical history and perform a physical exam to try and determine a cause for irregular menstrual cycles. Blood tests, ultrasounds, or a biopsy may be ordered to rule out anything major. The main reason a woman has irregular menstrual cycles is a hormonal imbalance, which is both easy to treat and easy to cure using a hormone-containing birth control pill for a short amount of time. Once your menstrual cycle is regulated, your healthcare professional may allow you to stop using the pill and try to conceive once again, if that is your goal.


This Easter was FUN! Regan is crawling (well her version of it anyway) all over! The kids got new outfits and we decorated eggs together. On Sunday I had to work for a few hours and Connor went to 2 hours of Sunday school. Bill and I attended Easter service for the first time in YEARS! And even though we got stuck in the back row of the over flow area in the youth room downstairs, it was still a beautiful service.
After church we came home and had our egg hunt! The EB left both kids books and clothes and Connor got some candy. Then we headed up to my parent's home for a family lunch. We all had a great time talking and goofing around! Regan "tried" to take a nap, but was interrupted by her Uncle Chris who just had to see her! All that was missing was my sister and her family. But we will see them soon!
Hope you had a wonderful and blessed day as well!

Q: C vs Haskell Collatz conjecture speed comparison My first real programming experience was with Haskell. For my ad-hoc needs I required a tool that was easy to learn, quick to code and simple to maintain and I can say it did the job nicely.
However, at one point the scale of my tasks became much bigger and I thought that C might suit them better and it did. Maybe I was not skilled enough in terms of [any] programming, but I was not able to make Haskell as speed-efficient as C, even though I heard that proper Haskell is capable of similar performance.
Recently, I thought I would try some Haskell once more, and while it's still great for generic simple (in terms of computation) tasks, it doesn't seem to be able to match C's speed with problems like Collatz conjecture. I have read:
Speed comparison with Project Euler: C vs Python vs Erlang vs Haskell
GHC Optimization: Collatz conjecture
collatz-list implementation using haskell
But from what I see, simple optimization methods, including:

*

*choosing "tighter" types, like Int64 instead of Integer

*turning GHC optimizations on

*using simple optimization techniques like avoiding unneccessary computation or simpler functions

still don't make Haskell code even close to almost identical (in terms of methodology) C code for really big numbers. The only thing that seems to make its performance comparable to C's [for big-scale problems] is using optimization methods that make the code a long, horrendous monadic hell, which goes against the principles that Haskell (and I) value so much.
Here's the C version:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int32_t col(int64_t n);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int64_t n = atoi(argv[1]), i;
    int32_t s, max;

    for(i = 2, max = 0; i <= n; ++i)
    {
        s = col(i);
        if(s > max) max = s;
    }
    printf("%d\n", max);

    return 0;
}

int32_t col(int64_t n)
{
    int32_t s;

    for(s = 0; ; ++s)
    {
        if(n == 1) break;
        n = n % 2 ? 3 * n + 1 : n / 2;
    }

    return s;
}

and the Haskell version:
module Main where

import System.Environment (getArgs)
import Data.Int (Int32, Int64)

main :: IO ()
main = do
    arg <- getArgs
    print $ maxCol 0 (read (head arg) :: Int64)

col :: Int64 -> Int32
col x = col' x 0

col' :: Int64 -> Int32 -> Int32
col' 1 n            = n
col' x n
    | rem x 2 == 0  = col' (quot x 2) (n + 1)
    | otherwise     = col' (3 * x + 1) (n + 1)

maxCol :: Int32 -> Int64 -> Int32
maxCol maxS 2   = maxS
maxCol maxS n
    | s > maxS  = maxCol s (n - 1)
    | otherwise = maxCol maxS (n - 1)
    where s = col n

TL;DR: Is Haskell code quick to write and simple to maintain only for computationally simple tasks and loses this characteristic when performance is crucial?

A: The big problem with your Haskell code is that you are dividing, which you don't in the C version.
Yes, you wrote n % 2 and n / 2, but the compiler replaces that with shifts and bitwise and. GHC has unfortunately not yet been taught to do that.
If you do the substitution yourself
module Main where

import System.Environment (getArgs)
import Data.Int (Int32, Int64)
import Data.Bits

main :: IO ()
main = do
    arg <- getArgs
    print $ maxCol 0 (read (head arg) :: Int64)

col :: Int64 -> Int32
col x = col' x 0

col' :: Int64 -> Int32 -> Int32
col' 1 n            = n
col' x n
    | x .&. 1 == 0  = col' (x `shiftR` 1) (n + 1)
    | otherwise     = col' (3 * x + 1) (n + 1)

maxCol :: Int32 -> Int64 -> Int32
maxCol maxS 2   = maxS
maxCol maxS n
    | s > maxS  = maxCol s (n - 1)
    | otherwise = maxCol maxS (n - 1)
    where s = col n

with a 64-bit GHC you get comparable speed (0.35s vs C's 0.32s on my box for a limit of 1000000). If you compile using the LLVM backend, you don't even need to replace the % 2 and / 2 with bitwise operations, LLVM does that for you (but it produces slower code, 0.4s, for your original Haskell source, surprisingly - normally, LLVM is not worse than the native code generator at loop optimisation).
With a 32-bit GHC, you won't get comparable speed, since with those, the primitive operations on 64-bit integers are implemented through C calls - there never was enough demand for fast 64-bit operations on 32-bit systems for them to be implemented as primops; the few people working on GHC spent their time doing other, more important, things.

TL;DR: Is Haskell code quick to write and simple to maintain only for computationally simple tasks and loses this characteristic when performance is crucial?

That depends. You must have some idea of what sort of code GHC generates from what sort of input, and you must avoid some performance traps. With a bit of practice, it is quite easy to get within say 2× the speed of gcc -O3 for such tasks.


Home » Academic Themes » Liberation technologies » Governance » Mobile payments curbing corruption in Afghanistan – A myth?
Last year, I started hearing references to how payments through mobile phone can curb government corruption. I heard such comments during a seminar series I organise at Stanford and also in a series of conferences that I organised on technology and accountability. Many people cited an experiment in Afghanistan to pay salaries of police officials through mobile phones, which is supposed to have reduced corruption by 30%.
I also found references to this claim in a USAID press release. It was reported in media outlets such as Telegraph of UK and Tech Crunch. The story was positively reported with headlines such as the ones below, leading readers to believe that the system has serious promise.
Considering how popular the idea had become, I started looking for a study that led to this conclusion. While I was able to find a lot of references in media outlets and blogs, I could not locate any study online. I then decided to submit a FOIA application to USAID, which had initiated the experiment on a pilot basis. USAID responded by saying that the assessment was not based on any study, and it was merely anecdotal.
An audit report by USAID painted a less rosy picture about the status of mobile payments. It said, "So little information exists on mobile money in Afghanistan that it is difficult to gauge what the project's results should have been". The report added that multiple grants for mobile money projects in Afghanistan have failed to take off. Four-hundred teachers who were registered to get salary through mobile phones did not exercise that option and only 15 of the 87,815 people who registered to pay utility bills through mobile phone used the service – all of them were USAID employees. I found no references online to this report, while the positive story was more widely reported.
A positive bias on technology?
The broader coverage of the positive reports and relative lack of coverage of sceptical reports on technology is an interesting phenomenon. I felt this for the first time when a technology project I was working on was reported in multiple countries even after we had just done the first mock up in a hackathon, and the coverage happened effortlessly. On the contrary, I have experience is struggling for coverage on much more significant things I had done in the past during my years with the right food campaign.
While I am an enthusiast for the potential that technology has the foster positive social change, I am troubled by the tremendous bias that seems to exist in how information about technology spreads. Such a tendency could leave us with false impressions about what technology could achieve, and thus invest on policies that are highly suboptimal. In an era where technology is such a central source of our excitement, I worry that we will make many policy choices that reflect our enthusiasm rather than the reality.

Yesterday we were made aware of the beheading of twenty-one Christians along the shores of the Mediterranean in Libya. Today we awake to the major news outlets telling us how Egypt has taken initiative and strikes back against ISIS. Many of the men who were killed were Egyptian citizens. This is a just response by Egypt, but my mind isn't really dwelling on the military response.
To be clear, I think there should be one. I think the U.S. should have formed a coalition months ago to deal with ISIS. ISIS is a clear and present danger to the security of the entire world. ISIS could very well be a threat of Apocalyptic proportions, perhaps the very threat that gives rise to THE Antichrist. While America twiddles it's thumbs, be watchful of the foreign leaders who rise up to fight ISIS.
While America twiddles it's thumbs, be watchful of the foreign leaders who rise up to fight ISIS.
However, my mind has been captured on something a little different. This morning the Holy Spirit has quickened my spirit. Twenty-one men paid the ultimate price this weekend. Twenty-one of my brothers have been beheaded because they refused to deny their love and devotion to Jesus Christ. They wrestled into submission the desire to keep their lives, to return to their families, and remained faithful to the One who today has welcomed, rewarded, and clothed them with the purest white robes.
What did I do yesterday? I went to church, ate lunch with some friends, came home, fell asleep on the couch, then watched a movie with Radene before going to bed. Nothing wrong with that. I don't feel guilty for how easy my day was compared to theirs. But, it has given me some perspective.
Most days, I go about my routine with little interruption. I get up, shower, take my girls to school, stop for some coffee and a few moments to talk with people, read, pray, collect my thoughts, and then head to the office. I work all day, come home, eat dinner, help my girls with homework if they need it, help Radene with whatever she asks, tuck the girls into bed, watch a little television, journal, pray, then go to bed. The cycle begins again in the morning.
Many of us have a similar cycle. My brothers in Libya had a cycle too. Except one day it was interrupted. The battle came to them. We like to quote the Scripture that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and that is true. Most days, for most of us, the battle is in the mind, where we war against the desires of this flesh. For my brothers, though, the war came to them using flesh and blood men who have been blinded by the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers over this present darkness. These men of ISIS became pawns of Satan to physically attack and kill our Christian brothers.
Paul called his many afflictions, light and momentary.
What were his afflictions? To name a few, being stoned and left for dead, being shipwrecked, being imprisoned, and being beaten. Some of those things happened multiple times. Can you imagine what kind of physical wreck Paul must have been toward the end of his life? And yet he calls it light and momentary afflictions.
Struggle is struggle. I'm not going to do the whole my-struggle-is-nothing-compared-to-his thing. There's nothing to be gained from that kind of comparison. But I did say earlier that my spirit has been quickened. The martyrdom of God's saints propels me do the simple things well. In other words, if they can give their life, for lack of a better way to say it, I should be able to get the easy stuff done without grumbling.
So should you. But the sad thing is that there's a whole generation of Christians who are too busy trying to figure out how close to the line of sin they can get without crossing. We're spinning our wheels trying to justify our moral choices so that we can gratify the lust of our flesh instead of looking to Jesus Christ and listening to the Holy Spirit within. Trying to figure out how close you can get to sin without sinning means you have your eyes on the sin and not the Savior!
Trying to figure out how close you can get to sin without sinning means you have your eyes on the sin and not the Savior!
All the while, our brothers in other countries are dying for their faith in Jesus Christ. How can any of us possibly flirt with sin the way we do in the face of such life-abandoning grace? How can you sit there and weigh the pros and cons of moving in with your girlfriend or boyfriend, knowing that God commands you to remain sexually pure for marriage? How can you not report all of your income on your taxes, knowing that Jesus said give to Caesar what is Caesar's? How can you allow filthy language and dirty jokes to come out of your mouth when the Word tells us to put an end to those things?
Twenty-one more have died for Jesus.
Yet we flirt. When will we stop giving sin the longing looks, and cast our longing gazes to Christ?


This species almost certainly will be found in relatively mesic habitats there, however, as our field parties have taken specimens in adjacent bowman county, north dakota, and only a few miles to the west of the county in the long pines hills of montana.
Then coleman came and informed him hurriedly that he came next, and andy went back to his place.
Old selo, on looking at his son's face, did not dare to mention the cayman, but tried to calm him by talking of clay jars, reminding him that the winner in a lawsuit was left without a shirt to his back.
That a volume of truth lies hidden from common eyes in this direction, i can well believe.

Daddy Spears -- Dr. Phil is a "God"
1/6/2008 2:00 AM PT
The only member of Britney Spears' immediate family to stay by her side was her dad, Jamie -- and he broke down in tears just after she ditched the hospital on Saturday.
"Jamie was really upset," a source tells People. "He was in tears. When he got to the house and realized the situation there, it broke him down." Apparently, Brit's mom Lynne and sister Jamie Lynn went back home to Louisiana before the whole thing erupted, so dad Jamie was Brit's sole support.
And what did he do for her? Brought Dr. Phil in to blindside Brit, because, as one source puts it, Jamie considers him "a god." Phil, reports People, told Jamie Spears that letting Brit go was "one of the worst decisions that could have been made."
Snipes Tries to Get Outta Town, Again
Wesley Snipes is trying one more time to have his federal tax evasion trial moved out of Ocala, Fla. Again.
For the third time, Snipes' lawyers filed a motion with a federal appeals court in Atlanta, to try to get his trial moved from Ocala, where he says racial prejudice would prevent him from getting a fair one. They also filed a motion to have the trial delayed -- it is scheduled to begin Jan. 14.
The federal indictment charges Snipes with fraudulently claiming refunds of almost $12 million in 1996 and 1997, and with failure to file returns from 1999 to 2004.
Party Favors: "Flavor," "Tila" Winners Cry Foul on Shows ... Original "Gladiators" Talk Painkillers, Hookups
The winners of VH1's "Flavor of Love" and "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila" are heartbroken, reports the New York Post, saying that they got stone-cold ditched by stars Flavor Flav and Tequila after they "won" their respective celebreality shows. Flav's winner, Deelishis, says Flav never called, and Tila's guy, Bobby Banhart, couldn't even get her number. ... "American Gladiators" returns to TV tonight, and some of the original warriors tell Maxim magazine (via Gatecrasher) of the debauched good 'ol days. Raye "Zap" Hollitt says it was a painkiller "free-for-all," with plenty of Vicodin and Percocet around. Meanwhile, Lee "Hawk" Reherman says there was plenty of hooking up -- especially among the babes.


Family time took over again this week and after a very good run on the Tuesday I didn't manage to get any more into the week – not even a long run. It worries me a bit as it means I have missed two long runs. I'm not going to worry about it – but I may have to substitute a shorter run for a long run in Week 8. We'll see how it goes.
The food changes are going well – bread is still out of the diet as is alcohol – although I did have a glass of wine last week whilst away on holiday with the troops.
Despite this, some weight is coming off which can only be a good thing. I was 13'8 when I ran the Paris Marathon two years ago. I am 14'4 at the moment so two months to get back to the Paris weight. I'm sure I can do it.
Saturday: 5M including hills at threshold effort level.
Accommodation has finally been booked for the Half Term. The Marathon is on the final Saturday of the half term holidays so the caravan will make it's journey to North Wales. Should be fun towing it back on Sunday with jelly legs.
Thanks to everyone who advised on a running belt/back pack. I'm still running with my CamelBak – but the pocket is on the back and tough to reach when on a long run. This could mean slowing down to almost a stop to get stuff out of the very small pocket. I've not had chance to research the ones that have been recommended to me.
Are you training for a marathon? Let me know how yours is going in the comments. It would be nice to hear from people. I've turned comments back on (not sure why they were turned off in the first place).
Also – should I be worried if I miss a long run (or two in my case at the moment)?

SPRING IS ABOUT TO BLOOM!
For the special individuals born in March, two birthstones are associated with this month: Auquamarine and Bloodstone. Both stones are so very different in appearance to each other but they both are similar as to symbolize preservation and/or enhancement of the health of the wearer.
Aquamarine is named from the latin word aqua-meaning water and marina meaning the sea. It ranges in light tones to greenish blue, to bluegreen. The color is usually more intense in larger stones and darker blue stones are more valuable. This stone is also the 19th wedding anniversary stone.
There were many beliefs and lore surrounding Auquamarine. It was believed to cool the temper of the wearer and sailors believed this gemstone would protect them and guarantee safe voyage. Another interesting belief was Aquamarine was a promising gift to a Bride symbolizing love and unity.
Auquamarine will complement any skin tone or setting. With its cool tranquil color it is a wonderful as a piece of jewelry or as an aid in a spriitual journey.
Bloodstone is the second birthstone for March. It is a dark-green stone flecked with vivid red spots. Another name for Bloodstone is Heliotrope, a Greek word, meaning "to turn to the sun". This is in reference to how it reflected light.
The Ancients used Bloodstone to make seals and amulets and was believed to have healing powers over blood disorders.

I do another kind of dreaming, too. I dream about the professional life I want to lead. I dream about the leader I wish to be. I dream about what I might look like five, ten and fifteen years from now (God willing!).
Do you take time to dream?
I remember, not that long ago, that I had a pretty rich – if ultimately fleeting – fantasy life. When I was taking out the trash and something fell from the can, I would often pick it up and fire it in, pretending the clock was winding down and I was attempting the buzzer-beating, game-winning last shot of Game Seven of the NBA Finals. Every time I was at bat as a kid on the playground, it was a World Series moment. When I was playing my guitar at a coffee house or in front of any crowd, I was performing in Madison Square Garden.
Dreaming is kind of fun and, to be honest, I slip into these dreams still every now and again.
It seems to me a very important part of our work as educators, taking time to dream, to dream about ourselves and our institutions, to dream about who we can be, to dream about what we can do to get better and how we can improve.
Surely, we ask our students to dream about themselves. We want them to vision a potential future and what that future holds for them.
Should we not do the same thing ourselves?
Leaders who do no dream never conceive of or realize what they might become.
Schools that do not dream cannot ever reach heights previously unimagined because there is no one imagining them.
Give your schools and the people within them a chance to dream. Give them time and space to do it. Make dreaming part of the operating system of your institution.
You will be amazed by the results. The results will not be dreams. They will be new realities.
