Keynote address: 'Government secrecy and the press'
By Jack Nelson
Editor's note: This is an edited text of veteran journalist Jack Nelson's speech at the National FOI Day conference on March 14, 2003, at the Freedom Forum in Arlington, Va.
Talking about government secrecy to this audience is much like taking coals to Newcastle. Many of you know more about the subject than I do. In fact, I interviewed several of you when I was doing research for the paper I wrote on the subject while attending Harvard University as a Shorenstein fellow last semester.
I am glad, though, to have this opportunity because I feel deeply that today excessive secrecy together with the government's accumulation of more power seriously threatens press freedom and other democratic values. And the threat grows as the government presses its war on terrorism and prepares to invade Iraq.
Of course, government secrecy is as old as government. In a half-century of reporting I've constantly encountered it at local, state and national levels. Once elected, many politicians think they own their offices and can run them pretty much behind closed doors.
I vividly recall as a young investigative reporter for the Atlanta Constitution attempting to attend a Wayne County Commission meeting in Jesup, Georgia, and being told by a commissioner: "There are some things the commission does that the public is not supposed to know about.''
Not surprisingly I've heard essentially the same thing when reporting on government officials in Biloxi, Miss., Atlanta and many other cities — but especially in Washington, D.C., where today the government declares there are a lot of things the public is not supposed to know about.
In Washington, I've seen presidents whose obsessions with secrecy tainted — or even helped unravel — their presidencies:
Lyndon Johnson and Vietnam.
Richard Nixon and the Watergate cover-up and the secret bombing of Cambodia.
Ronald Reagan and the Iran/contra scandal and cover-up.
George H.W. Bush, who pleaded he was out of the loop.
Of course, the Washington press has always had to struggle with official secrecy. What is different today is that not since Richard Nixon three decades ago has a president been as secretive or as combative about leaks of classified information as George W. Bush.
And President Bush has gone beyond just being extremely secretive about the conduct of the government's business. In the name of fighting terrorism, he has amassed powers and wrapped them in a cloak of resilience to normal oversight by Congress and the judiciary.
No president since I've been a reporter has so tried to change the very structure of government to foster secrecy.
No matter who's in power the press always has an obligation to be aggressive in trying to pierce secrecy that denies the public's right to know how its government is operating. Today it has a special obligation for at least three reasons:
First, the excessive secrecy and consolidation of powers of investigation, surveillance, arrest and extended imprisonment.
Second, the same political party dominates all three branches of government and may well hold power for at least the next six years.
And third, the opposition party for the most part has been as timid and divided as I can remember.
Meanwhile, the press corps and the editorial voices of most newspapers have been less than aggressive in fighting secrecy. There are exceptions, but for the most part we've seen relatively few trenchant news accounts — or editorial expressions of outrage — over the government's policies.
Anyone who really wants to know about the extent of official secrecy today should consult the Internet, not the daily press. Also, the most incisive accounts of the government's accumulation of power and its threats to civil liberties are found in the British press, such as The Economist.
The Economist supports an attack on Iraq. Nevertheless it has warned about excessive secrecy and what it calls our government's "appetite for new domestic policing powers and apparent impatience about civil liberties.'' And it discussed in detail five areas of particular concern:
Extending surveillance; guilt by association; targeting immigrants; redefining due process, and resisting oversight. The Economist concluded there is reason to fear that the heavy-handed use of the new powers could be counterproductive — particularly with immigrants and foreign-born Americans.
For some reason, whether because of 9/11 and terrorist threats or the looming war with Iraq or the popularity of the president or the fear of being labeled unpatriotic, the traditional American press — again with a few exceptions — has virtually looked the other way when it has come to government secrecy.
The daily press generally ignores information on the growth of secrecy that the government itself puts out. A case in point: Actions to classify documents in fiscal 2001 increased by 44% to an astounding 33,020,000, according to the Information Security Oversight Office's annual report.
The office's annual report contains a wealth of statistics about classification and predicts the upward trend in stamping "secret" on documents will continue because of the war on terrorism.
[Other] organizations [also] monitor official secrecy. The Federation of American Scientists [has a] superb secrecy project, and its Web site … carries reports as frequently as several times a week.
A citizen who really wants to know how extensively the government has extended secrecy policies since 9/11 can find it on the Web site of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
I know you're all aware of the committee's work and have been given copies of its latest report detailing the numerous policies of secrecy adopted since the terrorist attacks. But most people, unless they've seen the reports on the Internet, probably are unaware of them because the traditional press pays little attention.
With the media not reporting extensively on the problem and how it violates citizens' rights, the public's attitude is increasingly sympathetic to secrecy. In fact, polls show that on that issue, the public identifies with the government, not the press.
Talk shows and letters to the editor reflect that many people are indignant about press disclosure of secret plans for war. That's at least partly because the press almost never points out that the information has been leaked by administration officials for political reasons and/or as part of their war strategy.
Many of those leaks come from the Defense Department, where Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has been among the most vociferous in denouncing leakers. Rumsfeld may have co-authored FOIA as a young congressman, but now he talks about jailing leakers — at least those not leaking with government approval.
It's understandable that terrorism and plans for war in Iraq have increased the need for secrecy in some cases; much of it (is) justifiable. But even in those circumstances keeping the public in the dark often is inexcusable when basic civil rights are denied. Cases in point include closed-door proceedings that deny immigrants and terrorist suspects their civil rights and in some cases keep them imprisoned indefinitely.
Equally serious are cases that involve the government's secret discussions about plans not only to initiate war, but contingency plans to be the first to use nuclear weapons. This subject has not been debated in Congress or covered widely in the press even though a few newspapers have published credible information about the issue.
A case in point: official discussions about the possible first use of nuclear weapons against Iraq. We only know about it because William Arkin, an expert military analyst for the Los Angeles Times, disclosed it recently in the Times.
The government has not denied the report, but the press has done little to follow up on it. And there's been no public debate about such a momentous change in thinking about the use of nuclear weapons.
Sen. Edward Kennedy did write an op-ed column for the L.A. Times and pointed out that President Bush passed up an opportunity in his State of the Union speech to explain why "such a radical departure from long-standing policy is justified or necessary.''
Kennedy warned that the notion of a first-strike use of nuclear weapons in Iraq carries the seeds of a world disaster and that "a change of this magnitude should be brought to Congress for debate before the U.S. goes to war.''
Official discussions of a possible policy of such potentially catastrophic consequences also ought to be widely reported and debated in the media. But there are no signs of that other than Kennedy's column and a recent Senate speech by Robert Byrd. Byrd described the Senate as strangely silent on war issues, "paralyzed by our own uncertainty, seemingly stunned by the sheer turmoil of events.''
He declared that high-level administration officials had refused to take nuclear weapons off the table when discussing a possible attack against Iraq, and (Byrd) asked, "What could be more destabilizing and unwise …?''
Although the press generally ignored the Byrd speech, it was widely circulated on the Internet and the L.A. Times reprinted it almost in its entirety. You could read it in The New York Times, but as a full-page ad bought by an anti-war group.
Another case involves the planning of a possible military strike against nuclear sites in North Korea. And we only know of that because of Nicholas Kristof's recent column in The New York Times under the headline: "Secret, scary plans.''
Kristof quotes officials as saying that so far the discussions are only a matter of contingency planning, but there is talk of using nuclear weapons to neutralize hardened artillery positions aimed at Seoul, the South Korean capital.
I think most people would agree with Kristof that that's pretty scary. But once again there's been little follow-up in the press and no debate in Congress.
The failure of the press to be aggressive in monitoring government secrecy didn't begin with the George W. Bush administration. In fact, the media was caught napping three years ago when Congress, for the first time in history, passed a measure that would have made it a crime to leak any classified information — no matter how harmless or even whether it had been improperly classified.
Congress held no public hearings on the measure and the press virtually ignored it. After it passed, both The Washington Post and The New York Times ran short inside-page stories based on an [Associated Press] dispatch.
Had it not been for a last-minute campaign led by Scott Armstrong, a fierce free-press advocate, and Jeffrey Smith, a former CIA general counsel, the measure would have become law. They enlisted major media executives, First Amendment advocates and Clinton administration officials to persuade President Clinton to veto a measure he had actually supported.
Strobe Talbott, former Time correspondent and Clinton's deputy secretary of state, described the bill as "pernicious for all kinds of reasons.'' And he carried that message to his long-time friend, the president. Both Talbott and Kenneth Bacon, Defense Department spokesman, told the White House they constantly used classified information to brief reporters and would be subjected to possible prosecution if the measure became law.
Clinton, after studying the matter, said his administration had not thoroughly examined the measure, that it was "badly flawed,'' and that the public's right to know outweighed any national security concerns.
Boisfeuillet Jones Jr., the Washington Post publisher and a key figure in the campaign, later said Clinton, after vetoing the bill, told him, "We let that one slip by us.''
It slipped by the press as well, of course, and so did the behind-the-scene story of how a concerted campaign of administration officials and free-press advocates had succeeded in getting the measure vetoed.
Before closing, I want to talk briefly about a group of government officials and media representatives known simply as the "dialogue.''
For the past 18 months they have been holding periodic discussions about how to protect the most sensitive national secrets without interfering with the right of the press to cover government operations.
I went into some detail about the dialogue in the paper I wrote at Harvard. But I want to mention it now for a couple of reasons. It gives me an opportunity to say something positive about both the press and the government and how together they have made a good-faith effort to resolve a major secrecy issue. And it's another case where you could only read about it on the Internet.
The dialogue was organized against a backdrop of renewed efforts to enact the anti-leak legislation and threats by some government officials to seek jail sentences for unauthorized leaks of classified information. The organizers once again were Scott Armstrong and Jeffrey Smith.
The dialogue has included 35 members. Among them are 14 government officials, four former government officials, three congressional observers, 12 media representatives, and the facilitators — Armstrong and Smith.
Senior officials from the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, National Security Council and the Justice Department have participated.
Although their meetings have been off the record, both media and government representatives spoke on the record to me about their sessions and what they have accomplished, because they view their meetings as positive for the most part.
No one expects the tension between the media and the government over the unauthorized disclosure of classified information to disappear. But from all accounts by both sides the discussions have made some progress in limiting the tension.
Both sides say that by discussing specific cases they have come to a better understanding of the other's concerns. Media representatives have learned more about which secrets are the most sensitive, and government officials have learned more about the media's need to sometimes use unauthorized leaks to responsibly cover government.
They generally have agreed that both sides can fulfill their responsibilities in specific cases if the media can find a way to delete some of the most sensitive data without changing the thrust of a story. And there have been a number of cases where that has happened.
They also have talked about cases where relations became strained when the press published stories based on secrets despite government objections that the data undermined national security. For example, one case involved the Los Angeles Times' decision to publish a story about the CIA recruiting Iranian-American businessmen to act as informers after returning from trips to Iran.
CIA officials told the Times it should not publish stories about any ongoing CIA operation. But Times editors opted for publication after concluding the CIA had not made a compelling argument about the specific case. The CIA complained that the Times story hurt an ongoing operation, but the Times contended the CIA recruitment effort already was well known in the city's large Iranian-American community.
The dialogue can do little to prevent such continuing conflicts between the media and the government. And the success of the sessions also is limited by the relatively small number of media representatives involved.
Not only that, but some media and government folks are not sold on the idea of the two sides meeting to discuss the issue. Some of my friends in the media, apparently concerned the press might negotiate away its right to publish pertinent information, have asked whether I think it's a good idea. I obviously do for the reasons I've mentioned.
In addition the sessions have had one major success: helping head off the renewed attempts last year to get Congress to pass the anti-leaks legislation. Members of an interagency task force appointed to study the proposed measure attended several dialogue sessions where the subject was discussed at length.
Later a senior justice official told me the sessions were "extraordinarily constructive'' and a key to the (Clinton) administration's decision to abandon the anti-leaks measure.
Despite the dialogue's success, neither it nor any other effort by the press and government officials to resolve secrecy issues will count for much as long as the Bush administration persists in shrouding its actions in secrecy.
In trying to pierce that secrecy, journalists, as Ted Gup writes in the Columbia Journalism Review, "must be willing to withstand withering criticism, whether from the administration, be it Bush or Rumsfeld or Ashcroft, or from that portion of the public that is ready to savage any reporter who questions the party line.''
Journalists face a government today that demands to know a lot more about its citizens while restricting the rights of citizens to know about their government.
The Irish government recently proposed a bill to restrict the public's right to see its papers. In closing I want to cite an opposition party official's criticism of the Irish government's act because the words could apply to the American government today.
The official said the bill meant "material capable of causing political embarrassment is to be sheltered from the critical gaze of the public. This is a government afraid of the public knowing too much.''

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has successfully executed its daring dive through the 1,500-mile-wide gap between Saturn and its rings, the first time a man-made object has navigated through the icy halo that hugs the gas giant.
Controllers operating the Deep Space Network antenna in Goldstone, California confirmed data collected during its passage was being received from the probe just after 8:00 a.m. GMT (3:00 a.m. ET) on Thursday.
"In the grandest tradition of exploration, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has once again blazed a trail, showing us new wonders and demonstrating where our curiosity can take us if we dare," said Jim Green, director of the NASA's Planetary Science Division in a statement.
Plunging through the ring plane on Monday morning, scientists had taken precautions to protect the spacecraft from unexpected collisions with tiny smoke particles by using its dish-shaped antenna as a shield.
This meant repositioning Cassini's antenna away from Earth, which caused controllers to temporarily lose signal with the unmanned probe.
"We could only rely on predictions, based on our experience with Saturn's other rings, of what we thought this gap between the rings and Saturn would be like," said Earl Maize, Cassini project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The unprecedented gap-run was the first of 22 weekly dives Cassini will undertake between April and September, traveling at a top speed of more than 76,800 mph (120,000 kph).
As it zipped through the gap, the probe traveled to within 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) of Saturn's cloud tops (where air pressure is similar to the atmospheric pressure of Earth at sea level), and within about 200 miles (300 kilometers) of the innermost visible edge of the rings, NASA said.
Now that engineers have reacquired the probe's signal, they will evaluate data from this first dive and make tweaks to the orbit and trajectory to ensure the craft is protected ahead of future dives.
During these final revolutions around Saturn — which take around seven days — Cassini will return pioneering scientific data which scientists hope will help them decipher how giant planets evolve.
We did it! Cassini is in contact with Earth and sending back data after a successful dive through the gap between Saturn and its rings.
It will also collect a wealth of information including detailed maps of Saturn's gravity and magnetic fields, which could answer questions surrounding the speed of Saturn's rotations.

A friend of ours recently lamented the layout of appliances in her kitchen, which required the performance of an awkward dance every time she wanted to retrieve something from the refrigerator. She felt resigned to this annoyance ... until someone pointed out a simple yet revolutionary solution: change the direction of the refrigerator door!
This simple switch – moving the door hinge so it swung open on the left instead of the right – made a huge difference in the efficiency and enjoyment of her kitchen. It was something our friend had never considered, or even known was possible.
Most refrigerators have reversible doors, and even those that don't can sometimes be changed with some extra hardware. It's a solution worth considering if you find yourself having to squeeze by an awkwardly placed door.
Of course, you should also check the instruction manual or manufacturer's website for your particular model.
Have you ever done this yourself or hired someone to do it? Any advice?

Family Foundation Donates $100,000 to Utah Food Bank in Honor of Late Sister
Forward Foundation 2021-08-24
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The family of a late Salt Lake City resident, Heather Farr, is donating $100,000 to Utah Food Bank in her honor.
According to Utah Food Bank, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to fighting hunger statewide, 1 in 6 adults and 1 in 5 kids in Utah are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Food insecurity was an issue close to Heather Farr, a Salt Lake City resident who recently passed away at the age of 42.
"When Heather and I were teenagers, there were days when our family struggled to put food on the table", said Robin Lally, sister of the late Heather Farr and Co-President of the Michael & Robin Lally Forward Foundation. "The relief that we felt receiving food donations is hard to describe. Heather would have loved knowing that countless Utahans will receive this much-needed support."
Farr loved living in Salt Lake City and meeting people from all over Utah. The Forward Foundation is proud to donate $100,000 to Utah Food Bank to honor Farr's memory and create a significant, positive impact in the community she so loved.
"This generous donation will ensure thousands of families won't have to worry about where their next meal is coming from," says Ginette Bott, President and CEO of Utah Food Bank. "Especially with the impact COVID-19 is causing, our services are needed now more than ever. Food insecurity is increasing exponentially, even amongst Utahans who have never needed help before."
Utah Food Bank has been serving families in need for more than 100 years, working with more than 200 partner agencies across the state to distribute food free of charge. Thanks to generous donations and community partnerships, Utah Food Bank is able to stretch every $1 donated into $8.03 in goods & services for Utahans facing hunger.
"Life is short," said Robin Lally. "Let's care for each other and work together to uplift the people around us."

In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 6689, BugTraq ID 6690.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2003-0057.
Ulf Härnhammar discovered two problems in hypermail, a program to create HTML archives of mailing lists.
An attacker could craft a long filename for an attachment that would overflow two buffers when a certain option for interactive use was given, opening the possibility to inject arbitrary code. This code would then be executed under the user id hypermail runs as, mostly as a local user. Automatic and silent use of hypermail does not seem to be affected.
The CGI program mail, which is not installed by the Debian package, does a reverse look-up of the user's IP number and copies the resulting hostname into a fixed-size buffer. A specially crafted DNS reply could overflow this buffer, opening the program to an exploit.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.3-2.0.
For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0b25-1.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your hypermail packages.

El movimiento urbanístico de la ciudad jardín fue fundado por sir Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). Sus conceptos sociológicos y urbanísticos se contienen en el libro de 1898 titulado Mañana: Un camino tranquilo hacia una reforma real (Tomorrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform), cuya versión corregida y completa apareció en 1902 con el nombre de Ciudades Jardín del mañana. Proponía sustituir las ciudades industriales por otras más pequeñas rodeadas de tierras agrícolas, mezclando la ciudad con el campo para mejorar los estándares de salud y confort de los trabajadores.

Una ciudad jardín es una zona urbana diseñada para una vida saludable y de trabajo; tendrá un tamaño que haga posible una vida social a plenitud, no debe ser muy grande, su crecimiento será controlado y habrá un límite de población. Estará rodeada por un cinturón vegetal y comunidades rurales en proporción de 3 a 1 respecto a la superficie urbanizada. El conjunto, especialmente el suelo, será de propiedad pública, o deberá ser poseído en forma asociada por la comunidad, con el fin de evitar la especulación con terrenos.. Howard propone "ciudades sociales" de aproximadamente 32000 personas, en un área de 1000 acres, dónde la proporción del cinturón verde sea 5 veces mayor al área edificada

La Garden City Association, creada por Howard, en 1903 promovió la fundación de la primera ciudad jardín en Letchworth, a 55 km al norte de Londres, en un terreno de poco más de 1860 ha y para una población de 33 000 habitantes. Otro proyecto de ciudad jardín se inició en 1919, en Welwyn Garden City, cercana a otra ciudad llamada simplemente Welwyn, al norte de Londres, en 1970 su población era de aproximadamente 45 000 habitantes. En ambos casos, la mayoría de los residentes trabaja en los centros industriales de la localidad, el resto, en lugares que no distan más de 15 km. Se trata de ciudades integrales, no ciudades dormitorio.

Evolución del modelo ciudad jardín

El éxito de la Ciudad Jardín en Gran Bretaña fue extraordinario, como también a nivel internacional. La Garden City Association junto con la Town Planning Confernece organizada en 1910, animaría la fundación en 1913 de la International Garden Cities and Town Planning Association, que se encargaría de la propagación de la Ciudad Jardín en el resto del mundo (aunque frecuentemente diferenciadas del modelo original)  .

Para Estados Unidos fue un gran disparador en la urbanización de nuevas ciudades, como Forest Hills Gardens (Nueva York), Radburn (Nueva Jersey 1923). El modelo también llegó a distintos países Europeos como Alemania con el "Nuevo Frankfurt" de Ernst May, desarrollado entre 1925 y 1930), Stuttgart (con la Weissenhof de 1927) o Berlín, con las siedlungen construidas durante la República de Weimar.

En Latinoamérica puede destacarse la Ciudad Jardín de El Palomar Inaugurada en 1944 por el empresario de origen alemán Erick Zeyen, o varios barrios edificados en los suburbios de São Paulo, Brasil, como Butantã, Jardim América, Jardim Europa, Alto da Lapa, Goiânia, capital del estado de Goiás, y Maringá.

La difusión de la Ciudad Jardín llevó a distintas interpretaciones que irían perdiendo buena parte de los fundamentos fijados por Howard, Unwin y Parker. Pero aun así estas distintas interpretaciones mantuvieron un denominador común expresado en una densidad media-baja, con una importante presencia de zonas verdes en zonas periféricas interconectadas entre sí por rápidas rutas de acceso

En España, en el año 1911 se promulgó una ley llamada ley de casas baratas que fue posteriormente modificada en 1921, intentando solucionar el acuciante problema de la vivienda popular, es decir, el ordenamiento para la construcción de barriadas económicas, diseñadas en teoría como ciudades satélite autónomas en lo referente a sus propios servicios colectivos, con unas garantías higiénicas mínimas y siempre buscando la proximidad a las grandes arterias de comunicación o a los grandes centros de trabajo.

En Huelva se construyó el barrio obrero o barrio Reina Victoria de José María Pérez Carasa y Gonzalo Aguado, en 1916. En Guecho, el barrio de Neguri se diseñó basándose en las ciudades-jardín inglesas y en Bilbao se edificó la Ciudad Jardín bilbaína entre 1923 y 1925. En Vitoria se encuentra el distrito de Mendizorroza. En Cartagena se construyó el barrio de Ciudad Jardín en 1929, al amparo de la mencionada ley de Casas Baratas; es un barrio con calles en cuadrícula, típico de los años 20, con una edificación de tipo residencial unifamiliar de tipología uniforme. En Cantabria destacan la ciudad jardín de Santander y la Ciudad Vergel en Torrelavega.

En la ciudad de Málaga se encuentra el barrio de Ciudad Jardín, un barrio relativamente joven, ya que su origen como tal se fija cuando está muy avanzado el primer tercio del pasado . Las obras iniciales de las primeras casas que lo formarían dieron comienzo en 1925.

En Madrid destacan el proyecto de Ciudad lineal de Arturo Soria, el barrio de El Viso y posteriormente la urbanización de La Moraleja.

La Ciudad Jardín (Sevilla), barrio residencial del distrito de Nervión, de chalets de distinto tamaño, construido para la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929 de Sevilla. También Ciudad Jardín Santa Clara.

El concepto de Ciudad Jardín y Segur de Calafell también aparecen ligados desde que en 1947 naciera un proyecto de urbanización de la zona conocida históricamente como Quadra de Segur de la mano del arquitecto Manuel Baldrich, padre de los planos originales.

El desarrollo que luego tuvo aquel inicial concepto de Ciudad Jardín, convertido en una hilera interminable de edificios frente al mar, producto de la especulación depredadora de finales de los 70 y con el beneplácito de los sucesivos ayuntamientos. El citado crecimiento le valió el apelativo de mayor urbanización de Europa.

La parte de Segur que se mantiene aún en la zona de montaña como urbanización de viviendas unifamiliares, conserva aún rasgos característicos de la idea original. Actualmente está calificada como urbanización perteneciente al municipio de Calafell, en la comarca del Bajo Panadés.

En Ecuador desde el 2006 se construye en la capital, Quito el proyecto más grande de Latinoamérica con más de 7000 unidades de vivienda y 17 hectáreas de áreas verdes diseñadas en base al concepto urbanístico del futuro Ciudad Jardín, este proyecto es impulsado por la empresa inmobiliaria Ferroinmobiliaria SA, junto al parque metropolitano del sur de la ciudad que consta adicionalmente de 600 hectáreas.

December is here! Can you believe it!? Only 24 more days until Christmas! We have a lot of great deals going on for Christmas that you will not want to miss!
Posted in Uncategorized on December 1, 2016 by sharp_admin.


Here are some prayer suggestions you might consider using with your teens during the Advent season. Also, consider having the teens create their own Advent prayers (see below) as a part of this liturgical season.
You bring joy and salvation into the world.
And the wisdom to find truth in our studies.
We ask this in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You bring glad tidings to the poor.
You have given us your Son as your loving presence in this world.
Create in our hearts the room for your love to grow.
Forgive our shortcomings and prepare our hearts for your coming.
Shine your light on all our choices this day.
Create in us the ability to let your light shine forth for others.
Only you help me not to find my identity amid people's misfortunes.
You are the one I seek because I no longer trust my own thoughts and reactions.
In these Advent days, I slowly find my heart awake and singing.
Faith creeps out of the cracks of my soul from my uncertainty.
Gratitude lights up the morning inside me and relaxes my silence in my still body.
Thank you, Jared, for posting these beautiful prayers for Teens. I've needed something just like this. Advent Blessings!

News in Brief Prime Minister
PM Orbán: "Now is the time to defend the Schengen system if we want to preserve and even increase our competitiveness"
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has told leaders of Germany's largest corporations that 2018 is a crucial year for Europe
Schengen Migration Crisis
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has told leaders of Germany's largest corporations that 2018 is a crucial year for Europe during a lecture in Berlin.
"Now is the time to defend the Schengen system, if we want to preserve and even increase our competitiveness," he stressed.
"Central Europe must make progress with relation to significant handicaps within the field of infrastructure. We need resources to construct new roads and pipelines. If the European Union cannot provide funding, we will turn to China," the prime minister added.
The prime minister also highlighted the fact that the countries of the Visegrád group (V4) are growing dynamically, and by 2030 they are expected to catch up to Western industrial nations and become net contributors to the EU budget.
"In 2030, the European Union will in the most part be financed by Germany and the countries of the V4," the prime minister said.
PM Orbán also spoke about the fact that 2018 must be the year of the enforcement of the will of the people in Europe in regards to the migrant crisis, also citing the importance of protecting the EU's external borders.
The Press Has More Freedom in Eastern Europe than in the Continent's Western Half
Reacting to a statement by Sweden's foreign minister on Monday, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó told Hungarian news agency MTI in a statement that recently it has become obvious that the press has more freedom in Eastern Europe than in the continent's western half.
On Facebook Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Congratulates the Creators of Son of Saul

Reinstating Military Conscription is not Necessary
In response to a statement by Sweden's foreign minister, on Sunday Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister György Bakondi told public television channel M1 that the Government of Hungary does not see the necessity for reintroduction of military conscription. Keeping the manpower of the reserve force at appropriate levels is important however, he stressed.
János Lázár to Have Talks in Brussels
János Lázár, the Minister heading the Prime Minister's Office will pay a visit to Brussels on Tuesday where he will have talks with EU Commissioners and Hungarian diplomats.
How many EU countries have laws on the books that empower the government to mobilise the military in the event of a terror attack?


One of the points Dutton puts more stress in is in trying to change — or, at least, influence — the work of policy makers, in the shape of policy guidelines or recommendations. On the one hand, public funds pay most of the research they're doing, so trying to influence the public sphere becomes sort of a payback for this funding. On the other hand, putting it to practice is a means to see how research is connected to reality and what exactly is its use.
Agustí Cerrillo speaks about e-Government as not the automating of the Administration, but a deeper change. In this line, the actual legal [public] framework in Spain does not really provide a good environment to innovate in this subject, though there are plenty initiatives in the field. And even if the legal framework is being adapted to e-Administration/e-Government — by publishing new e-Government laws —, the day-to-day reality in the Administration is not being changed that much.
Bill Dutton and Rebecca Eynon introduce some more projects in this same area of knowledge, among them Government on the Web — dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of e-government and the impact of web-based technologies on government — and Network Democracy 2.0.

What Are Joe Walsh and Brian Johnstone up to together?
by Paul Cashmere on June 26, 2019
Brian Johnson of AC/DC and Joe Walsh of the Eagles are making music together. We just don't know what.
Joe posted a pic of Brian and him on Instagram this week captioned, "Great day making music with my old pal Brian today in london. We nailed it! Love ya man!"
Joe didn't go into any further detail. As he had recently been making a new album with AC/DC we can only assume at this stage that it is something for Joe.
Great day making music with my old pal Brian today in london. We nailed it! Love ya man!
A post shared by Joe Walsh (@joewalshofficial) on Jun 24, 2019 at 8:14am PDT
Joe is in London touring with the Eagles. Their first show is tonight (26 June) in Manchester. AC/DC were recording a new album in Canada in January. What is known is that the album is said to be made up of Malcolm Young's guitar pieces recorded in the years up until his passing. However, since January, no further details have surfaced.

Photoshopping Audio…
Published August 16, 2017 Audio Leave a Comment
By now, we're all familiar with the idea that images can be manipulated – "photoshopped" – to modify a depicted scene in some way (for example, Even if the Camera Never Lies, the Retouched Photo Might…). Vocal representations can be modified using audio process techniques such as pitchshifting, and traditional audio editing techniques such as cutting and splicing can be used to edit audio files and create "spoken" sentences that have never been uttered before by reordering separately cut words.
But what if we could identify both the words spoken by an actor, and model their voice, so that we could edit out their mistakes, or literally put our own words in their mouths, by changing a written text that is then used to generate the soundtrack?
A demonstration of a new technique for editing audio was demonstrated by Adobe in late 2016 that does exactly that. An audio track is used to generate both a speech generating model and a text to speech track. This allows the text track to edited, not just in terms of rearranging the order of the originally spoken words, but also inserting new words.
Not surprisingly, the technique could raise concern about the "evidential" quality of recorded speech.
EXERCISE: Read the contemporaneous report of the Adoboe VoCo demonstration from the BBC News website "Adobe Voco 'Photoshop-for-voice' causes concern". What concerns are raised in the report? What other concerns, if any, do you think this sort of technology raises?
The technique was reported in more detail in a SIGGRAPH 2017 paper:
An associated paper – Zeyu Jin, Gautham J. Mysore, Stephen DiVerdi, Jingwan Lu, and Adam Finkelstein. VoCo: Text-based Insertion and Replacement in Audio Narration. ACM Transactions on Graphics 36(4): 96, 13 pages, July 2017 – describes the technique as follows:
Editing audio narration using conventional software typically involves many painstaking low-level manipulations. Some state of the art systems allow the editor to work in a text transcript of the narration, and perform select, cut, copy and paste operations directly in the transcript; these operations are then automatically applied to the waveform in a straightforward manner. However, an obvious gap in the text-based interface is the ability to type new words not appearing in the transcript, for example inserting a new word for emphasis or replacing a misspoken word. While high-quality voice synthesizers exist today, the challenge is to synthesize the new word in a voice that matches the rest of the narration. This paper presents a system that can synthesize a new word or short phrase such that it blends seamlessly in the context of the existing narration. Our approach is to use a text to speech synthesizer to say the word in a generic voice, and then use voice conversion to convert it into a voice that matches the narration. Offering a range of degrees of control to the editor, our interface supports fully automatic synthesis, selection among a candidate set of alternative pronunciations, fine control over edit placements and pitch profiles, and even guidance by the editors own voice. The paper presents studies showing that the output of our method is preferred over baseline methods and often indistinguishable from the original voice.
Voice Capture and Modelling
A key part of the Adobe VoCo approach is the creation of a voice model that can be used to generate utterances that sound like the spoken words of the person whose voice has been modelled, a technique we might think of in terms of "voice capture and modelling". As the algorithms improve, the technique is likely to become more widely available, as suggested by other companies developing demonstrations in this area.
For example, start-up company Lyrebird have already demonstrated a service that will model a human voice from one minute's worth of voice capture, and allow you to create arbitrary utterances from text spoken using that voice.
Read more about Lyrebird in the Scientific American article New AI Tech Can Mimic Any Voice by Bahar Gholipour.
Lip Synching Video – When Did You Say That?
The ability to use captured voice models to generate narrated tracks works fine for radio, but what about if you wanted to actually see the actor "speak" those words? By generating a facial model of a speaker, it is possible to use a video representation of an individual as a puppet whose facial movements can be acted by someone else, a technique described as facial re-enactment (Thies, Justus, Michael Zollhöfer, Matthias Nießner, Levi Valgaerts, Marc Stamminger, and Christian Theobalt. "Real-time expression transfer for facial reenactment", ACM Trans. Graph. 34, no. 6 (2015): 183-1).
Facial re-enactment involves morphing features or areas from one face onto corresponding elements of another, and then driving a view of the second face from motion capture of the first.
But what if we could generate a model of the face that allowed facial gestures, such as lip movements, to be captured at the same time as an audio track, and then use the audio (and lip capture) from one recording to "lipsync" the same actor speaking those same words in another setting?
The technique, described in Suwajanakorn, Supasorn, Steven M. Seitz, and Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. "Synthesizing Obama: learning lip sync from audio," ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) 36.4 (2017): 95, describes the process as follows: audio and sparse mouth shape features from one video are associated using a neural network. The sparse mouth shape is then used to synthesize a texture for the mouth and lower region of the face that can be blended onto a second, stock video of the same person, and the jaw shapes aligned.
For now, the approach is limited to transposing the spoken words from a video recording of a person speaking one time to a second video of them. As one of the researchers, Steven Seitz, is quoted in Lip-syncing Obama: New tools turn audio clips into realistic video, "[y]ou can't just take anyone's voice and turn it into an Obama video. We very consciously decided against going down the path of putting other people's words into someone's mouth. We're simply taking real words that someone spoke and turning them into realistic video of that individual."

Digital Worlds - Distorted Reality


Evvie and I got back late last night from a very quick and amazing trip to Toronto.
I had been anticipating this trip for a couple of weeks, Justin and I even went to San Francisco to order Evvie a rush passport just so we'd be able to travel together in time. I was fairly nervous about traveling with her being so young, but it was an important opportunity and leaving her at home was out of the question.
During the 48 hours or so that we were gone, she barely left my side. Even though we were traveling most of the time, it was a really nice bonding experience with her, time we hadn't had since we were in the hospital together. One-on-one moments are hard to come by when there are six in a family vying for each other's undivided attention.
Obviously, it's not easy traveling with a baby, but we made it through security, customs, and onto our plane seamlessly. Kind of wild to think about this being my third trip out of the country within about a year on my first passport. I'm completely in awe of what has happened over the course of our lives in that amount of time, there's really no other way to describe it.
I went on Canada AM on Friday morning to talk about Theo and Beau, our story as a family, going viral and our children's book coming out in February. The serendipitous connection that Theo and Beau made and how they are a perfect example of the Cheerios Effect gave me lots to talk about, and did so over the course of our trip and several interviews with the media. Canadians are exceptionally kind, something that will always stick with me about this first trip to Toronto.
It was really nice having her there to keep me company, but it was even better coming home.
just watched your segment on Ch. 9 Toronto on the Internet . You did a great job!! Can't wait til Naptime with Theo and Beau is released in Feb. Thank you for sharing. You inspire.
I caught your Canada AM segment on line. The link popped up on one of my home pages. Great job. As I scroll through these pictures I notice that you are wearing a poppy. Thank you for that. It means a lot to us here in Canada.
Great job. Love the picture at the end of the children snuggling up to mom. They missed their mommy and I know she missed them.
Watched the clip — fantastic job!
You did an amazing job in the interview. Was lovely to see you speak and hear the voice behind the beautiful and loving mum. I sat here overwhelmed get again by the photos. The interviewer is so right – the photos are uplifting to see. They bing a tear of joy all the time and I am so very grateful to you for sharing your beautiful family. Congratulations again.
Can i ask where your and Beau's bedding is from??
You are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the clip! I love the pic of Evvie on the bed! Glad you had a good trip and safe time!
Glad you enjoyed your trip to Toronto despite the somewhat unpleasant weather we had over those few days! Was lovely to see you on Canada AM that morning.

Jimmy Carter and a peace that surpasses understanding
Gracie Bonds Staples, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
According to news reports, Maranatha Baptist Church was at its full capacity, 325, with an overflow room crowd of more than 400 a full two hours before former President Jimmy Carter's Bible lesson on Sunday.
That may not have been news except three days earlier Carter, 90, began receiving treatment for brain cancer.
And now the world wanted to hear what the former president had to say.
As he always does when he teaches, he first offered a recap of where he'd been in the past couple of weeks and why.
"I missed two lessons because toward the end of May (and) first of June, it was found that I had cancer, so they removed part of my liver," he said. "But then we had another MRI, and it showed I have four places in my brain."
If you've been wondering how a man holds fast to his faith in the midst of such a diagnosis, why he doesn't just curse God and die, you're not alone.
I suspect that's the reason most people flocked to Maranatha last Sunday.
And so it occurred to me during all the talk about Carter's upbeat attitude that some might wonder, too, about the reason for the president's hope.
The short answer is pretty obvious. Carter, it would seem, has an unwavering faith in God.
It makes a big difference. It causes us to look forward, not backward. It trusts in God, not people. It can imagine better days and give us the strength to fight on.
That's certainly been true in my life, but I reached out to a few academics who've been following Carter's story like the rest of us.
What did they think about all the attention given to his faith and his ability to remain peaceful in the midst of what would seem for most of us to be the worst time possible?
One of them, Thomas Merluzzi, a psychology professor at Notre Dame, said that research confirms that the former president is at an age where coping with cancer and acceptance are easier to endorse. Even for those with strong faith, cancer or any other serious disease at a young age can be much more disruptive to career, family, social life, and goals.
The very fact that Carter has said he has "an easy way of accommodating the vicissitudes of life" is "a sign of a person who can adjust to the ebb and flow of life without extreme stress and agitation," Merluzzi said. "Then add to age and disposition an abiding faith that has been deeply rooted in his life — and you have a recipe for serenity, acceptance and letting go."
Gospel singer Marvin Sapp sings a song titled "Perfect Peace," in which he describes a person who keeps his mind on the one who made us. When we do that, we will have perfect peace.
It's a beautiful song based on Scripture that says "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds."
President Carter isn't just optimistic about his state, he seems peaceful and serenely accepting.
In a series of studies that compiled data from 44,000 people with cancer, Merluzzi said that he and his colleagues found that faith and spirituality were positively associated with physical, mental and social health.
"For President Carter, there is the wonderful intersection of age (really wisdom), disposition, and faith that will see him through this no matter what the outcome," Merluzzi said. "He is an inspiration to all of us who have been touched by cancer — there are few who have not."
Douglas Jacobsen, professor of church history and theology at Messiah College, spent a day with the former president in 1986 when he invited Carter to the Mechanicsburg, Pa., campus to speak.
What Jacobsen found most refreshing in Carter's news conference about his cancer was the way Carter described his deep religious faith, as a gift given to him rather than something he claimed for himself.
"That was stunning in the context of so much religious discourse in the early 21st century which implies that faith is an accomplishment that makes faithful people better than others," Jacobsen said. "By contrast, Carter sees faith as a gift from God to be accepted with gratitude. Faith does not make anyone better than anyone else."
In the same way, he said that Carter's deep realism about the unexpected turns of life, including the negative turns of life, is similarly out of sync with contemporary culture, which seems to assume that life should be smooth sailing and that hardships are to be avoided at all costs and bemoaned when they come our way.
"Carter's obvious joyfulness was winsome," Jacobsen said. "No whining about anything. Just deep and genuine joy for the gift of life that he has been given."
The one thing that we humans most fear – death – simply isn't real for believers like Carter, said Carter Turner, chairman of the department of philosophy and religious studies at Radford University.
Absent from the body, present with the Lord, as 2 Corinthians 5:8 says.
"And if you ultimately believe that God is in control of the universe and is capable of breaking natural law at any moment and bringing about a miracle, eternal hope is possible," Turner said. "If you believe in that kind of God, all things are possible."
Turner said that religion generally works on a kind of feedback loop, starting with a worldview and providing the answers to our most important questions. What are our basic beliefs about the world? Is there a God? How do we know it?
"These are some of the basic questions our religions answer," he said. "But what people believe about this world is only half of it. Beliefs are held more firmly if experience confirms them. "I suspect that most people who believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God do so because of some experience they had as a result of reading it. Ideas and experience are mutually supportive."
So there you have it. No matter how you look at Carter's life and faith, he has a powerful message to share and proves yet again that the Bible is true: "tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope."
You'll find that in the 5th chapter of Romans.

Learning outcomes, or objectives, are concise statements that describe what students will know, and be able to do with that knowledge, at the completion of an activity, assignment, or course.
Learning outcomes describe learning that is observable in the form of behavior or expression of thoughts. Determine what evidence or indicators will show you that learning has occurred. In other words, how will you know?
Use specific action verbs to describe the desired behaviors, knowledge, skills, and values the learning experience is intended to impart. Refer to Bloom's Taxonomy and Fink's Taxonomy of Significant Learning on page 9 of the Self-Directed Guide to Designing Courses.
Describe behaviors that are measurable. Avoid using verbs that are vague and difficult to measure (e.g. "understand" and "know").
Use language that is clear and free of jargon so that both novice and expert students will understand what is expected.
Set learning outcomes that are appropriate for your audience in terms of identity, prior knowledge, and course level.
Link course learning outcomes directly to the activities and assessments of the course.
Share learning outcomes in a prominent and easily identifiable location such as your syllabus or Canvas home page.
Apply sociological theories and concepts to the analysis of real-world issues.
Debate the effectiveness of New Deal programs using evidence from primary sources.
Critically evaluate the scientific evidence regarding human-caused climate change.
Identify morphological units of the Spanish language.
Describe the distinctive character of Catholicism among other religious traditions and its similarities to them.
Each of the examples above includes a specific action verb (apply, debate, evaluate, identify, describe) to describe the cognitive behavior that students are expected to exhibit. Each of these behaviors could be observable in a variety of ways, including through class discussion, interactive activities, or written work, in which students could demonstrate their learning. The behaviors described are also measurable. It is possible to imagine the criteria to describe how well a student performed each of these behaviors and measure student success against those criteria.

Summer ski testing updates
In light of COVID-19 some brands will still provide summer testing options for the summer

Rossignol/Dynastar/Lange
After careful consideration in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Rossignol Group North America, home to brands, Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange, and LOOK, has officially suspended all test centerplans at Mount Hood for summer 2020.
This will mark the first time in over 30 years the Group's brands will not have a presence at Mount Hood during the summer ski camp and testing season.
"The time spent on-snow with racers, coaches, and clubs during the summer is always invaluable," said Connor Farrow, U.S. Alpine Race Manager. "So while it's especially disappointing that we have to cancel, especially during my first year with this incredible group of race brands, the safety of the ski racing communities we service and that of Government Camp are ultimately much more important. I am optimistic we'll be able to get back to doing what we love next season. In the meantime, I plan to adapt our approach to continue supporting the ski racing community however we can and in the most responsible manner possible."
This measure is the latest in a comprehensive response from Rossignol Group's North American management team, including the closure and/or strict monitoring of offices and distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada, the cancellation of events, restrictions on business travel, and the self-quarantine of any employees deemed at risk in accordance with national, state, and local guidelines.
"We believe corporate social responsibility during a public health crisis means making decisions proactively and out of an abundance of caution," said Nick Castagnoli, Brand Marketing Director, Rossignol Group North America. "In light of the fluid and unpredictable situation we still currently face, we've determined the potential risks of operating our Mount Hood test center this summer are risks that we are not willing to take. Our focus remains on mitigating major health risks amongst our employees and the community at large."

Even with the shortened season, MDV athletes gained five World Cup podium finishes, including two GS wins and a 5th place in the overall GS standings by New Zealand's Alice Robinson. Despite the early end to competition, the MDV team is looking forward to a great season in 2020-21. MDV plans to carry that momentum forward with a by complementing that season's success with brand-new skis, boots, and bindings that are sure to propel athletes to even greater success in the future.
Although MDV couldn't wait to give the racing community the chance to try all this new gear in person, the company has decided the health and well-being of its employees and athletes remain paramount. Therefore they will not participate in any U.S. based on-snow activities through the month of July. This means MDV will not have test center facilities at Mount Hood or Mammoth Mountain this summer. In addition, MDV office staff are currently working remotely, and ski and boot service and fitting facilities in Claremont, NH are closed. We are, however, open for product shipments.
Despite the inability to offer on-snow testing, MDV wants to give its athletes the opportunity to see and learn about our new skis, boots, and bindings. For updates, tune in to their new Instagram account @mdvracing_usa, as well as skiracing.com.
If the situation improves by August, MDV plans to support on-snow training and testing from then onward. At that time, MDV racing service staff will be available to help with equipment needs.
For athletes on the East Coast, MDV recommends contacting your local race retailer for any boot work or other equipment needs. Matt Mckenna will be available for athlete services as normal, but in the East Coast only due to travel restrictions.
For more information, please email [email protected].
