Watch Democratic Congressman Refuse to Defend Their Claims about GOP Racism
By Andrew Johnson
About Andrew Johnson
Follow Andrew Johnson on Twitter
Two Democratic congressman who recently charged Republicans with racism were forced to answer for their claims when confronted by Fox News's Jesse Watters.
First, Watters took on Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Steve Israel (D., N.Y.) for telling CNN last month that Republican opposition to immigration reform is "animated by racism."
"You are picking up on something that was out of context, and happened three weeks ago, so I question why you would even ask that," Israel said to Watters as he tried to get into an elevator. "We need to get away from prescribing motives, and just pass a comprehensive immigration bill."
Watters, who is one of Israel's constituents, reminded the congressman that "I pay your salary" as he tried to leave, but Israel fired back that he had to get to a vote. "You are literally stopping me from voting, and that's what my constituents pay me to do," he said.
Meanwhile, Watters also caught up with Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.), who called Supreme Court Justice an "Uncle Tom" and wondered if "this man doesn't like black people."
"All I'm saying is I disagree with [Thomas's] opinion as it comes to people of color," a much more restrained Thompson told Watters when confronted, adding that he has "a real problem with his lack of sensitivity." He said he was unaware of that Thomas was a Republican.
Thompson, who had said opposition to President Obama is racially motivated, also denied that blacks are faring worse under the current administration, although Watters pointed out black unemployment is notably higher than it was during the Bush presidency.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
This template is used on approximately 432,000 pages, or roughly 1941% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template is intended for external links. It is not designed for use as a citation template.
This template uses Lua:
Module:Webarchive
Module:Webarchive/data
{{Webarchive}} is for linking to web archiving services such as the Wayback Machine, WebCite and all other web archiving services.
This template is a replacement for {{wayback}}, {{webcite}}, {{memento}} and {{cite archives}}.
2 Multiple URLs
5 Tracking categories
6 Template maintenance
In most cases the template needs only two arguments, the archive |url= and archive |date=.
{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160801000000/http://example.com |date=1 August 2016}}
Produces: Archived 1 August 2016 at the Wayback Machine
{{webarchive |url=https://www.webcitation.org/5eWaHRbn4?url=http://www.example.com/ |date=12 February 2009}}
Produces: Archived 12 February 2009 at WebCite
It is also common to include a |title=
{{webarchive |url=https://www.webcitation.org/5eWaHRbn4?url=http://www.example.com/ |date=12 February 2009 |title=Page title}}
Produces: Page title at WebCite (archived 12 February 2009)
Multiple URLs
The template optionally supports multiple URLs (up to 10) for linking to multiple archiving services for the same source link. The first url argument is |url= then |url2= .. |url10=. Each URL can have its own date and title argument, thus |date2= .. |date10= and |title2= .. |title10=.
Main options
url..url10
The URL(s) to the archive service. There should always be a |url= which counts as the first url. Each |url#= can have its own numbered corresponding |date#= and |title#=. Matching of URL with date and title is done by numbers, not position. Numbers do not need to be in sequence, for example |url2= followed by |url5= works.
date..date10
The date the page was archived. The date format displayed is the same as entered. If |date= is missing the template will make a best effort to find the date by decoding the archive URL (wayback and webcite for example provide this data in the URL), and will display the date in iso format by default. However including a date is recommended for date formatting reasons, and because other tools may not have the ability to decode the date from the URL.
title..title10
The text displayed for the link. If no |title= is provided then |date= is displayed. Otherwise |title= takes precedence if both are set.
Secondary options
If set to any value, the archive service name will not be wikilinked.
This is a special option to support the merger of {{cite archives}}. It may be deprecated in the future. Because CS1|2 templates do not currently support more than one archive link, this template will tack on additional archive links to the end of a CS1|2 template output. It takes two values: |format=addlarchives or |format=addlpages. Addlarchives will display output appropriate for linking to multiple web archiving services. Addlpages will display output appropriate for linking to multiple pages at the same archive.
The number of possible examples is extensive depending on the mix of options. Some common cases follow. For more extensive testing see the testcases page.

Tracking categories
The template has a number of hidden tracking categories which may be added (via Module:Webarchive):
Category:Webarchive template wayback links (5): links to Wayback Machine
Category:Webarchive template webcite links (2): links to WebCite
Category:Webarchive template archiveis links (2): links to Archive.is
Category:Webarchive template other archives (0): links to known archive sites that don't have their own tracking category
Category:Webarchive template unknown archives (0): the template doesn't recognize the archive URL; this may indicate an error in the data; or the template itself needs updating to reflect a new archive site
Category:Webarchive template warnings (2): soft errors that do not prevent the template from working but leave a red message
Category:Webarchive template errors (0): errors typically requiring human intervention
Template maintenance
The following can be done to maintain the template.
Monitor tracking categories
The tracking categories for "warnings" and "errors" can be monitored to alert for any problems in the data.
The tracking category for "unknown archives" may indicate a problem in the data; for example an editor used the source URL instead of the archive URL in the |url= field.
Monitor template argument usage
This tool shows which instances of the template are using which arguments—it shows for example that |access-date= is being used by five instances in five articles. Since this is an error (the template does not support |access-date=) those five template instances should be fixed to remove the |access-date=.
Configuration: verifydates
The template can verify that dates in URLs for Wayback, WebCite, and Archive.is match the date in the |date= argument. If the dates do not match it will display the date from the URL, add a red warning message "date mismatch", and add the article to the warning tracking category.
Because the verification function adds some overhead to the template, it can optionally be globally disabled by setting the variable "verifydates = no" (see the Module source in function p.webarchive()). Note that after setting to "yes", it can take a week or more for the tracking category to be fully populated. Set to "yes" if you are searching for problems in the data that need fixing (they'll show up in the tracking category).
Configuration: maxurls
The max number of URLs is 10 but this can be changed by setting the "maxurls" variable in the p.webarchive() function. This is a global variable that will affect all instances of the template, use with caution. Reducing the number will increase the template speed and reduce resource use.
TemplateData

Silver Bay Seafoods names new CEO
Alaska processor promotes external affairs officer to take over positions of longstanding CEO and president.
Alaskan seafood processing company Silver Bay Seafoods has promoted Cora Campbell to president and CEO from her position as chief external affairs officer.
She will take over from Richard Riggs, Silver Bay's CEO since inception in 2007 and Troy Denkinger, co-founder and president since 2012, with effect immediately.
The two will still be actively engaged with the company in the capacity of managing partners.
Riggs will continue to oversee all sales and related activities, and Denkinger will continue to focus on the overall fishermen experience throughout the organization.
40 under 40: Cora Campbell, President and CEO, Siu Alaska Corporation
Both Denkinger and Riggs will likewise maintain their respective Silver Bay board of directors responsibilities within the company, including a focus on strategic direction, vision and growth, with Denkinger remaining chairman of the board.
"This internal promotion/transition is yet another strategic growth initiative for Silver Bay," said Riggs. "Cora has a proven track record, both as an Alaskan fisherman and seafood executive, and under her leadership Silver Bay will continue to promote the values of the company in the quest to build a world class seafood company."
"...It has been an honor to be the CEO of Silver Bay Seafoods for the last 12 years; to build a company and culture that started as a passionate, but unrealized dream of Alaska fishermen... and finally to play an active role in what Silver Bay has become today, with six facilities in Alaska and operations in California as well, with over 450 fishermen owners."
"Cora is the right person to lead Silver Bay into our next chapter, as Richard and I take on more focused roles," said Denkinger.
"Silver Bay has always prioritized finding the best team to serve our fishermen, and Cora's skills and experience in fisheries management, policy, and business make her uniquely qualified to lead our company.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to lead the Silver Bay team," said Campbell. "Silver Bay is unique among processors. We are owned by our fishermen and committed to maximizing value and fishing opportunity. We have an excellent team in place and I'm pleased to be part of the Silver Bay success story."
Cora joined Silver Bay's management team in 2018 as the company's chief external affairs officer.
She is the past President and CEO of Siu Alaska Corporation, a commercial fishing and processing company with investments in the pollock, cod, and crab fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, during which time she was named as one of IntraFish's 40 under 40.
Previously, Campbell was commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, serving as Alaska's chief executive for fisheries and wildlife management and policy.
Silver Bay is a vertically integrated, and primarily fishermen owned seafood processing company headquartered in Sitka, Alaska.

ID Theft: Insider Access Is No. 1 Threat
Insiders, Family Most Likely to Misuse Social Security Numbers Tracy Kitten (FraudBlogger) • November 9, 2010 15 Minutes
Most cases of identity theft can be traced back to an employee, family member or friend, says Kirk Nahra, a privacy expert and attorney. When financial institutions and businesses store Social Security numbers in databases, they run the risk of exposing their customers to insider threats. And when consumers carry their Social Security cards with them, they run the risk of exposing their information to relatives and friends who are more than happy to take advantage of their trust.
"We have to look at what companies can do to protect against risks from outsiders, and we have to look at what companies can do to police their own workforce," Nahra says. "And then you also have to look at what people can do individually to protect their own information." It all goes back to better controls, he says, "limiting where you have the information, how you use the information and not giving out information unless it is absolutely necessary."
Social Security numbers remain the most critical and common personal identifiers used on a daily basis in the United States. But compromised Social Security numbers are the backbone of identity theft. Nahra says laws and society, generally, are getting better about reporting and responding to incidents of compromised Social Security numbers and, ultimately, identity theft crimes; but much more progress is needed.
During this interview with Information Security Media Group, Nahra discusses:
Why insider access is the No. 1 concern;
The risks associated with outdated databases and "accidental" personal profile histories;
The focus on adequate response to Social Security number thefts.
Nahra is a partner with Wiley Rein in Washington, D.C., where he specializes in privacy and information security litigation and counseling. He chairs the firm's Privacy Practice and is co-chair of its Health Care Practice. He assists companies in a wide range of industries in analyzing and implementing the requirements of privacy and security laws across the country and internationally. He has served on the International Association of Privacy Professionals Board of Directors and is the editor of Privacy Advisor. A certified information privacy professional, he is the co-chair of the Confidentiality, Privacy and Security Workgroup of the American Health Information Community. He is a graduate of Georgetown University and the Harvard Law School, and is a frequent author and speaker on privacy and security issues.
Social Security Numbers and Identity
TRACY KITTEN: Social Security numbers are closely linked to our identities yet they are surprising easy to steal and exploit. Why are these long held personal identifiers so susceptible to fraud? I'm here today with Kirk Nahra, partner with Wiley Rein, a Washington D.C.-based law firm that specializes in regulatory and public policy counseling. He also serves on the Board of the International Association of Privacy Professionals, a global community of privacy professionals.
Kirk, Social Security numbers remain the primary personal identifier of U.S. citizens. But over the last several months we have seen a number of cases and incidents come to light that revealed the inherent weaknesses and vulnerabilities of Social Security numbers. Are these personal identification numbers outdated, and how do they compare, from an authentication and security-privacy perspective, with personal identifiers being used in other parts of the world?
KIRK NAHRA: We have obviously been struggling longer than the last few months; this is something that goes back a number of years, at this point, with how to balance the benefits of a Social Security number. It is still the single best identifier, despite the risks that go along with it. I think we have done a couple of things that have been positive -- there are a lot of different laws that have restricted how Social Security numbers can and can't be used. There used to be a lot of public use of Social Security numbers; and by "public," I mean things like your health insurance card, and using your Social Security number as your member ID. That is not the case anymore; that has been moved away, both by law and by practice. So, there have been some positives; but I certainly do agree that it is an inherent weak spot, because of how often it is used as the core identifier.
What companies have been struggling with is creating an individual identifier for a particular customer relationship; but customers or individuals often don't know those numbers or don't remember those numbers, so they can't use them when they call in to get their questions answered. And those types of numbers don't carry over from company to company. Our society, in general, is still really struggling with what to replace a Social Security number with, and as of today, there isn't really any good alternative.
Protecting Social Security Numbers and Identities
KITTEN: What steps should we be taking in the U.S. to ensure better security of Social Security numbers (i.e., better protection from theft and misuse)?
NAHRA: Well, the incidents that have come up in recent years fall into three different categories. We have had situations that get most of the press, that have been large-scale hacker or criminal situations, where outsiders break into a computer system, an office or something like that and take high volumes of Social Security numbers. There are ways to deal with that kind of issue. There are also insider problems in a lot of companies, and that has been an increasing issue. This would be a company insider who needs to have access to information for certain purposes but then misuses it; that's poses a different set of ways to attack that problem. The third place, which is frankly more related to recent identity-theft problems, relates to our personal situations, where a spouse, an ex-girlfriend, a neighbor, a cousin, a sibling, somebody like has access to a person's information -- it might be access they can from being in their house, or it might be through some of their records.
So, we have to look at what companies can do to protect against risks from outsiders, and we have to look at what companies can do to police their own workforce, and then you also have to look at what people can do individually to protect their own information. Primarily, it goes back to better controls -- limiting where you have the information, how you use the information and not giving out information unless it is absolutely necessary, as well as being very vigilant about checking your accounts and checking different credit reports.
The Responsibility of the Credit Bureaus?
KITTEN: Talking about credit reports, specifically, it has been suggested that the credit bureaus should play some role in reporting suspected fraud or abuse of Social Security numbers. Do you agree?
NAHRA: I think that those companies are starting to do more than they used to; and, again, it is a mixture of both legal requirements and actual practices. There have been a number of laws passed in the last few years, at both the state and the federal levels, dealing with the whole issue of identity theft. Identity theft is a problem that goes beyond a Social Security number, but it is also widely understood that the Social Security number is the single easiest entry to identity theft. And so there are a variety of new provisions that require credit bureaus, in particular, to take certain action when red flags or other kinds of problems are easily identifiable or are reported to them.
The flipside is that those credit reports have a lot of information and some of it is clearly going to be wrong. When I looked at my credit report recently, I found various addresses that were wrong, but there was usually some reason for it. It might be my parents' address; it might be an address for my sibling; it might be a roommate that I used to share an address with and then that roommate moved. So there is a variety of problems that don't mean identity theft, but we see issues that could lead to identity theft. We are starting to be more aware. I think we are also getting a little better as a society at fixing some of these problems. We are a little better at stopping identity theft, at catching it and remedying the problems; but we still have a long way to go.
Biometrics: A Security Solution?
KITTEN: Tying the use of biometrics with Social Security numbers has been suggested as a way to enhance protection. I know that you serve on the IAPP Board. Can you give us some perspective, from an international view, on how you feel about biometrics and how biometrics might be used in the U.S. to help verify a person's identity?
NAHRA: I think the issue with biometrics, similar to a lot of other identifiers, is basically a practicality of use. What happens with Social Security theft is somebody gets a Social Security number -- again it could be a theft, it could be a person that you know or whatever -- and then they apply for a credit card using the identifying information of another person. Now, it is great to talk about biometrics, but there is no feasible way to make that work in a regular setting. People go to Target or Sears or Wal-Mart or whatever and they want to get a credit card that gives them10 percent off their purchase that day. There just isn't any viable means of using biometrics for that. The other premise of biometrics is that if you were going to take my thumbprint, for example, or retina scan, all of those people around the country and around the globe would have to have access to that information in order to verify it. So, it is a nice idea, and there may be certain kinds of situations where it makes sense; but, again, right now what we are struggling with is trying to come up with any kind of realistic alternative that is actually viable that people could actually use, that companies could use, that individual consumers could remember. So, it is a real ongoing challenge.
The Colorado ID Theft Case
KITTEN: I am going to switch gears a bit and point to a ruling that was passed down Oct. 25th. The Colorado Supreme Court overruled a lower court's decision to convict a man of criminal impersonation when he fraudulently used another person's Social Security number when applying for a car loan. While the lower court found that the man defrauded the car dealership on his loan application, the Supreme Court held that since the man used his own name, his own birth date and his own address, it was not criminal impersonation, even though he used someone else's Social Security number. How do you view the court's ruling and what kind of precedent do you think the ruling will set for the future of identity theft cases involving Social Security numbers?
NAHRA: We have had a lot of laws passed in the last two, three, four, five years that have tried to address specific practices in connection with identity theft, and we have seen sort of a perfect storm of legislators and regulators at the state and federal levels all trying to address this problem by throwing a lot of new laws into place. What we are seeing in some situations is that the laws don't precisely fit the particular situation. I don't know a lot of the details of this Colorado case; it sounds like it is a slightly different situation than we usually think of with identity theft. It doesn't sound like another consumer was necessarily the subject or the victim of identity theft. My guess in this case is that we didn't have a precise match between the action and the crime that was on the books or the crime that prosecuted in the case. I do think we are seeing a lot of effective criminal prosecutions related to real identity theft. We are seeing flexibility in the legislators to make sure that they revise laws to make sure they are broad enough. I think we are going to continue to see these laws that work their way through the system over the next few years. It is clearly a problem that we are both trying to address and are not yet done addressing. I am not too worried about an individual case. It sounds like a bad situation, and it sounds like somebody who is trying to behave badly got away with something; but, again, in terms of broader precedent, I think that, for the most part, we are finding ways to get at most of these situations.
Again, the real problem with identity theft is not a lack of ability to go after the wrongdoer; it is finding the wrongdoer and, even more importantly, it is fixing the problems of the identity theft victim. So that is where the real challenge remains going forward.

KITTEN: Kirk, what do you deem to be the top three vulnerabilities related to the way Social Security numbers are used and housed?
NAHRA: I will go back to my list before, the ways in which these numbers can get attacked; I think that there are real issues in companies in a wide range of industries that are having problems with insider access. We have situations with customer-service people -- the people that are at the end of the telephone call when you call in with questions; we are having problems with the people that fill out applications and those kinds of things. In order to do their job, they need access to lots of information; but we are seeing more and more cases where that access is being abused. So, one vulnerability is insider access -- people needing access to do their jobs but then misusing that access in a way that can lead to actual harm.
I think that people don't often take good care of their own information; they leave it lying around and they carry their cards with them and then they leave their wallet somewhere, or they throw away trash in a way that doesn't include shredding information. So, I think people don't do a good job, necessarily, of protecting their own information, because we have seen so many cases where the person who commits the identity theft is somebody that is known to the individual. On a broader level, we do continue to see large-scale criminal activity, which involves hacking and things like that into systems, so companies also need to do a better job of just policing their overall network security. Although, again, I think many companies are, in fact, doing a pretty good job of that, certainly much more so than we had four or five years ago.
Better Protection and Verification
KITTEN: What advice can you provide to the financial, government and healthcare industries in the U.S. about better protection and verification of Social Security numbers?
NAHRA: I think the major advice I would give is to recognize that while there may still be certain situations in which the use of a Social Security number is needed, there are not very many situations where you absolutely have to rely on a Social Security number. One of the things that I tell all of the companies that I work with, and I think it is really a very valuable step, is to go into your company and do a real thorough audit or a review. Go in and look at every single place in your company where you collect Social Security numbers, where you store Social Security numbers, where you use Social Security numbers, where you disclose Social Security numbers; I have yet to find a company that couldn't look at 50 percent or more of those places and say, "There is really no reason for this." It is just history. It is things that we haven't changed that we don't need to.
So, go through and reduce access as much as possible. You want to reduce the number of people that see that information. You want to reduce the places where Social Security numbers are available and to whom they are available and for what purpose. Doing that kind of a survey or audit, I think, can really do a very significant job of reducing -- not eliminating, but reducing -- these problems, because it cuts down so many of the places where this information just simply doesn't need to be. And, again, the reason it is there is it is just history or it's been saved by accident or no one has thought about it recently. But doing an audit or review, being proactive, is really a very important part of reducing this overall risk.

Saying Goodbye to 2010 will be a catharsis for me and I will look back at the year with very mixed emotions.
Carrying me along throughout the year were numerous moments of pure excellence in arts scene in the city of Düsseldorf, much of which I've been most fortunate to experience much of this up close and personal.
Simply beyond amazing. A piece of passion, ripping farewell and beauty to remain with me always.
2. Simone Kermes at the robert schumann hall in museum kunst palast.
A personality and voice to admire, what a thrilling performance! Cannot wait to see her again at the robert schumann hall in June 2011.
KiKiFe, the Children's Film Festival, where we introduced the first International Children's Jury with ISR has left me with many wonderful memories. The students were such a delight, I am proud of the work they did and the magic we made.
Buika and The Mozart Requiem from altstadtherbst stick in mind as does the extraordinary encounter at the concert given by Aki Takase at the Approximation Festival. This was such a passionate, unique concert and one I would never normally have visited had it not been for RhineBuzz. A true discovery.
It was also a privilege to be able to talk about and admire the exquisite, porchelain-like portrait of Isabella Rosselini at the Mapplethorpe Retrospective at the NRW-Forum. Such a mesmerising woman we met at the NRW-Forum in 2009.
Thanks are often boring to those not involved, so I'll apologise here and now. This is a an absolute must though as without the people who interact with us, RhineBuzz would be just another networking group and we all experience that, thankfully much, much more.
So my heartfelt thanks go to Tanja Brill, Frau Jokel and Herr Schmiedel at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein.
WoW! I'm in and out of The Opera House so often these days, now with three functions and I love each one equally. I knew when I took the first tour some 18 months ago, that I wanted to spend more time there and now, here we are!
The press conferences are quite different from those of the fine arts. Less formal, somehow warmer. I recently told a close friend, an opera singer, that everyone is just so very nice! He answered it could be because all the staff are out there night after night, live and spontaneous interacting with their audience. Front and back stage. It's a real calling to wish to work there and boy do you sense this! I really mean it. I've not encountered huge egos, I'm always greeted with a genuine, warm smile, and my often naive questions are greeted with such enthusiasm.
The Opera for All events and Opera Scouts project are aimed at bringing new people to the Opera and I'm privileged to be such a part of this. My knowledge of the Opera was so limited when I received their first call in December 2008, and now I just cannot imagine RhineBuzz without this institution of such history, passion and longevity.
To Marina Schuster at museum kunst palast who welcomed me with the biggest smile and such a wonderful spark for all things new. Our Arts Sessions are just the BEST. We all love them so and they have introduced a very different aspect of the arts to many RhineBuzzers. Sabrina, our lovely instructor, thank you. Our continued partnership with mkp is a treasure, the exhibition halls are monumental and the robert schumann hall offers a fabulous musical program, especially for young people; I look forward to working even closer with you all in 2011.
Adversely to Diva_Girl. Thank you for bringing us John and Herbert. Such great, great guys!
Most of all to YOU, the RhineBuzz community. Each and every one of you who comes to our events, our readers and all of you who post and talk about RhineBuzz all over the place, spreading the word, helping others, especially the city newcomers, find a connection to us.
You are such a diverse and enriching group of people. I'm so happy we have all found each other.
To my precious friends who help where they can, despite madly busy careers and often rigorous travel.
I'm very proud that RhineBuzz is not just about having a groovy time, as recent difficult situations have shown. When one of us needs help, we are all so willing to do what we can. A simple post brings in mountains of information. RhineBuzz is a trusted link to so many aspects in Düsseldorf, often when the formal connections are just too daunting to approach, or when family abroad are clueless as to how procedures work in Germany and need to fix things for their loved ones here. The community is quite simply brilliant. Thank you.
Happy New Year to you all, all over the world!
we miss you and love hearing what you are up to now.
To those who have yet to discover us and this wonderful city, welcome.
come back to us safely.
2011 will be simply brilliant! Roll on Eurovision!
To quote a recent, very special post, "RhineBuzz flows!"


Based on a finance ministry decree published in the government's gazette, individuals will be allowed to withdraw lump sums of up to 2,300 euros in cash per month from bank accounts from 1,800 euros currently, effective from March 1.
The government is expected to raise the maximum amount that people can withdraw from their bank accounts each month from 2,300 euros to 4,000-5,000 euros, as the capital controls are eased further. This is seen happening after the country's creditors grant their approval, which is expected next month.
A further loosening of capital controls in Greece - the only such restriction in the Eurozone - will come as of June 4, following a ministerial decision that remains to be published in the government gazette prior to the date. Specifically, individuals with bank deposits in Greek banks will be able to withdraw up to 5,000 euros a month, up from the 2,300-euro ceiling.

Basic Emergency Procedures
There are four basic emergency procedures. A description of each is available below. Please take time to familiarize yourself with these procedures as well as the other safety procedures of the College. Although it is unlikely that you will ever have to use this information, it is always best to be prepared. If you are informed that a basic emergency response is necessary, please cooperate with the proper authorities. Non-compliance may put you at greater risk.
Evacuate the building in an orderly fashion and wait for officials to give the all clear to return inside the building.
Shelter in Place/Lock Out
A situation may occur at Isothermal where the safest action will be to shelter in place.
Do not leave the building. Find a safe place within the building to stay and wait for further information.
Follow procedures to protect yourself from the specific hazard. For example, if a tornado has been sighted, report to an interior room on the lowest floor. If a hazardous materials spill has occurred, close all doors and windows.
If you have information about the hazard that can aid emergency responders, report it immediately by calling 911 (9-911 from a campus phone).
Remain in the building until an "all clear" has been given by emergency officials.
If you are informed of a lockdown situation, please cooperate with proper authorities. Leaving the classroom or building in such a situation may put you at greater risk.
A lockdown is similar to sheltering in place, except that it is an imminent situation, like an active shooter that has been sited on campus and requires individual decisions and a survival mindset.
Interior doors including classroom and office doors should be locked or barricaded.
Turn off lights, radios, TVs, close blinds, and silence cell phones.
If a fire alarm is activated during a lockdown, proceed with extreme caution.
Wait for the "all clear" to be given before leaving safe shelter.

Iran raises the stakes in Yemen faceoff
Updated on: April 8, 2015 / 6:43 AM / CBS/AP
SANAA, Yemen -- Iran dispatched a naval destroyer and a support vessel Wednesday to waters near Yemen as the United States quickened weapons supply to the Saudi-led coalition striking rebels there, underlining how foreign powers are deepening their involvement in the conflict.
Iran's English-language state broadcaster Press TV quoted Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari as saying the ships would be part of an anti-piracy campaign "safeguarding naval routes for vessels in the region."
Flash Points: Yemen conflict could signal "deeper regional war" 05:15
Arab coalition launches airstrikes on Yemen 01:39
The maneuver in the Gulf of Aden comes amid an intense Saudi-led Gulf Arab air campaign targeting the Yemeni rebels, known as Houthis, who come from a Shiite sect. Critics say Shiite power Iran backs the Houthis, though both the Islamic Republic and the rebels deny any direct military assistance.
Speaking a day earlier in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken blamed the violence in Yemen on the Houthis, and forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, saying that the U.S. is committed to defending Saudi Arabia.
"We have expedited weapons deliveries, we have increased our intelligence sharing, and we have established a joint coordination and planning cell in the Saudi operations center," he said in a statement to reporters after meeting with Saudi royals and Yemen's President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled his country amid rebel advances.
CBS News correspondent David Martin reports the U.S. has also begun flying aerial refueling missions for the Saudi-led coalition, and will continue to do so once daily.
Intelligence sharing includes making available raw aerial imagery the coalition could use to better strike anti-Hadi forces, said a U.S. defense official who was not authorized to comment publicly. Blinken said the U.S. and the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council must coordinate closely and press all parties to seek a political solution.
Islam's divide: Sunni vs. Shiite
The Gulf Arab-backed air campaign supporting Hadi, which began on March 26, has so far failed to stop the Houthis' advance on Aden, Yemen's second-largest city, which was declared the provisional capital by Hadi before he fled.
The U.S. says that the chaos has allowed the local al Qaeda branch, which it considers the world's most dangerous wing of the group, to make "great gains" on the ground, causing Washington to rethink how it prevents it from launching attacks in the West.
How Yemen's crisis will impact U.S. fight against terrorism 01:49
Speaking from Tokyo, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the collapse of the central government in Yemen makes it harder to conduct counterterrorism operations against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has ambitions to strike Western targets, including the United States. Regarding the weapons deliveries, he said it involved "some resupply of equipment and munitions" to Saudi Arabia.
The World Health Organization warned Tuesday of an unfolding humanitarian crisis, saying at least 560 people, including dozens of children, have been killed, mostly in the air campaign and ground battles. The aid group said that over 1,700 people have been wounded and another 100,000 have fled their homes as fighting has intensified over the past three weeks.
The first boat carrying medical aid to Yemen since the coalition began bombing arrived in the southern port city of Aden on Wednesday, international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders said.
The group's head of mission in Yemen, Marie-Elisabeth Ingres, said the ship carried some 2.5 tons of supplies from Djibouti for its hospital in Aden.
The group is concerned about how it will transport the supplies and wounded people given the chaos in Aden's streets, where the situation continues to deteriorate and combat intensified overnight.
"We have street fighting, snipers, tanks in the street, roads cut and areas not accessible, and electricity, water and fuel cuts," she said. "Last night the different groups were fighting around the hospital. It lasted all night into the morning and continues now, so all our employees were forced to sleep at the hospital."
Tons of desperately needed aid awaits clearance to be flown into Yemen, including a Red Cross shipment with 17 tons of medical supplies from Jordan which emergency workers hope can be flown into the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Wednesday. Another 35 tons of supplies were also ready for shipment.
Also Wednesday, Human Rights Watch cited witnesses as saying that Houthi forces fired into crowds of demonstrators in the cities of Taiz and Torba the day before the bombing campaign began, killing at least 7 people and wounding over 80 others. The New York-based group called on Houthi authorities to investigate the incidents.
"Yemen's spiraling conflict is causing a calamitous breakdown in law and order," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "Security forces in control, whatever side they are on, have responsibilities to uphold and protect people's rights and to take action against their members who commit abuses."

Birth of The Magic City – Miami
The Lobby Pool Hall, two story location, where Miami was incorporated in 1896.
Posted By: Casey Piket July 27, 2014
Portrait of Julia Tuttle
By the spring of 1896, there was a tremendous amount of activity preparing a small outpost to become what Julia Tuttle hoped to be "one of the largest, if not the largest, cities in all the southland". Julia Tuttle had always been a dreamer and by 1896, her vision of a city on the banks of the Miami River were becoming a reality.
The Beginnings of the City of Miami
Following an enticement by Tuttle during the great freezes of 1894 and 1895, Henry Flagler decided to extend his FEC Railway to where Biscayne Bay met the mouth of the Miami River. In exchange for tracts of land provided by Tuttle and the Brickells, Flagler agreed to "build a luxury hotel and lay out the town around it". The wording of a "town" would later be debated as the appropriate designation of the municipality being built along the Miami River.
Land Granted to Henry Flagler
Portrait of Henry Flagler
At the time Flagler agreed to extend his railroad and build a city, Julia Tuttle had owned much of the north side of the Miami River. As outlined in 'Miami, The Magic City' authored by Arva Moore Parks on page 82, Julia Tuttle gave Flagler half her land, which amounted to 300 acres on the north side of the Miami River. It included 100 acres on the bay and river fronts, with the exception of her 13-acre home and some other acreage in what would become the business district. She cleverly gave Flagler alternate lots to ensure the development of the business district, but kept lots for her own purpose.
The contract signed by Tuttle and Flagler specifically stated that the luxury hotel not block her view of the bay. Tuttle's homestead is now the location of the Miami Convention Center and the downtown Hyatt.
The land between the hotel and north bank of the river became a beautifully landscaped garden designed by Henry Coppinger Senior. The location of Miami's original luxury hotel, The Royal Palm Hotel, will soon be the Met 3 complex being built in downtown Miami. The location of the gardens evolved into a combination of Biscayne Bay Boulevard and the Epic Hotel.
Recently, one and a quarter acres of the land that the Royal Palm Hotel gardens once occupied was recently purchased for a modest sum of $125 million. This land is adjacent to the north bank of the Miami River and just east of the Epic Hotel. The same land could have been gotten for $1.25 per acre roughly 125 years earlier.
Portrait of Mary Brickell
Flagler signed a separate contract with the Brickells who added parcels of land on the south side of the Miami River and land in Fort Lauderdale. Like Julia Tuttle, the Brickells reserved their homestead and land for themselves. Flagler agreed to build a bridge over the Miami River and plot alternating lots on the land that was granted.
Later, the Brickells felt betrayed by Flagler due to his delays in meeting his obligations on the south side of the river. In particular, at one point, William Brickell was so upset with the progress of south side development that he refused to travel north of the Miami River as a form of protest.
Progress Necessitated Designation
Miami Metropolis Building in 1896
The months of April and May in 1896 marked significant turning points for the rapidly developing municipality needing a designation. The first train arrived into the area on April 13th. By April 21st, there was regular train service to the area and on May 2nd, the Bank of Bay Biscayne officially opened. The first newspaper, the Metropolis, issued its first edition on May 15th, under the editorship of Walter S. Graham. The Royal Palm Hotel had already broken ground and was developing rapidly.
An early role of the Metropolis was to report on the lack of structure in this developing community. One early Metropolis issue complained of the bridge over the Miami River not being completed. This represented a real inconvenience for those who lived on the north side of the river. The post office was located at the Brickell's General Store, on the south side of the river. Those living on the north side had to pay a ferry just to retrieve their mail.
One of the earliest issues of the Miami Metropolis in 1896.
It was the Metropolis that called for the incorporation of Miami before August 1st, 1896. Walter Graham very aptly continued to point out that this growing community needed immediate organization to deal with the infrastructure issues of the day. The newspaper argued that incorporation was necessary to deal with the problematic sanitary situation. As the population grew in 1896, so did the sanitary issues of the growing community. It was clear to those with proper sensibilities that it was time to provide formality to what was being built along the mouth of the Miami River.
Miami Was Never a Town
Prior to a community wide vote, the incorporation process called for an informal meeting to discuss the particulars of incorporation. This meeting was held on June 17th in 1896 and was chaired by Fredrick S. Morse. The meeting was attended by 100 people, 40 of which were registered voters.
In the state of Florida at this time, at least 25 registered voters were necessary to form a town and at least 300 voters were needed to incorporate as a city. The process also called for 25 voters to propose boundaries for the municipality and publish notice to all eligible voters.
Original Miami City Limits ~ Roughly.
During the course of the meeting on June 17th, the group of 25 registered voters officially declared a desire to incorporate as a city, outlined the proposed boundaries and determined the date and time of the actual vote to incorporate. The proposed boundaries were, using today's street numbering system, as follows: On the North, a point just above Eleventh Street. On the west, NW Seventh Avenue (North of the Miami River), and NW and SW Eighth Avenue (South of the Miami River). On the South, beginning at the intersection of SW Eighth Avenue and SW Eleventh Street, going east along Eleventh Street to the intersection of Fifteenth Road and following that road southeast to a point in the middle of Biscayne Bay. The eastern boundary was Biscayne Bay.
Finally, the date of the next meeting was set for July 28th, 1896. The location of the vote would take place on the second floor of The Lobby Pool Hall. The legal notice of the meeting appeared in the Metropolis each week for five weeks.
The Vote to Incorporate as a City
The Lobby Pool Hall in 1896
The incorporation meeting took place at 2pm on the 28th day of July in 1896. The vote was restricted to only men. Women were not given the right to vote until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1919. The ability to register to vote was given to anyone who had lived in Dade County for at least six months prior to the vote.
Joseph A McDonald, Flagler's chief of construction on the Royal Palm Hotel, was elected chairman of the meeting. HJ Burkhardt was elected secretary. The secretary called the roll to verify that at least two thirds of the registered voters were present as Florida law required. There were 312 in attendance at the start of the meeting and at least 32 voters were fashionably late. This is known because the total number of votes tallied to 344. The composition of voters included 243 Caucasians and 181 Blacks.
After ensuring there were the proper number of voters, the next order of business was to decide on a city name. Among others, a couple of the names under consideration were "Biscayne" and "Flagler". Henry Flagler was adamant that the newly formed city didn't take his name. Upon consideration and debate, the voters decided on naming the municipality "The City of Miami", based on the name of the river that runs through the middle of the newly formed city.
The voters ratified the boundaries of the city and elected officers. This was done by ballot, and after the ballots were cast, the voters went to dinner and reassembled at 10pm that evening. The head of Flagler's Fort Dallas Land Company, John B Reilly, was elected Miami's first mayor. In addition, the following were elected as Miami's first aldermen: Joseph A. McDonald, Walter S. Graham, William M. Brown, Frederick S Morse, Edward L Brady, Daniel Cosgrove and Frank T Budge. JM Graham was elected City Clerk and Young F Gray was chosen as marshal.
All of the first officers were aligned tightly with Henry Flagler's interest. In addition, many were prominent businessmen in early Miami. For example, Brady operated Miami's first grocery store and Budge operated Miami's first hardware store.
One noted elected official didn't last long in his role. Young Gray was dismissed as Miami's first lawman for unspecified reasons on May 28th, 1899. Gray had a penchant for drinking on the job, but no official reason was given for his dismissal.
The last order of business was the passage, by unanimous vote, of a resolution urging the Postmaster General to direct the Postmaster of Miami, Alice Brickell, "to immediately move the post office to a convenient location on the north side of the Miami River". This marked the end of the post office residing at the Brickell's General Store.
The meeting concluded with County Solicitor James B Sanders of West Palm Beach "calling three cheers for Miami and the new officers". A handful of the newly elected officers gave brief speeches and then the meeting was adjourned.
Henry Flagler Informed
After the meeting, the results were telegraphed to JR Parrott and JE Ingraham, who were spending the night in West Palm Beach before leaving for the new City of Miami. Early the next morning, Joseph McDonald wired the results of the voting to Flagler, who resided in New York during this process.
Later that day, Henry Flagler, who had been called "Miami's Benevolent Dictator", replied to McDonald's message offering congratulations on the election. None of the results of the election were a surprise to Flagler, as he employed the great majority of the electors. The majority of the Flagler men voted their conscience and selected the officers who Flagler would have wanted.
Miami Today – 118 Years Later
Prior to the announcement of the extending of the FEC Railroad to what would become the City of Miami, there were roughly 25 – 30 people living in the area. The entire area was hammock and pine trees. It was a lush wooded area that many current Miamians would not believe.
According to the 2010 census, Miami has evolved to having over 400,000 people living in today's city limits. Miami-Dade County is now the seventh most populous county in the United States, with over 2.5 million living within the county.
The hammock and pine trees have been replaced with skyscrapers and construction cranes, but the spirit of Julia Tuttle's vision for a world class southern city has been exceeded. By July 2014, it is clear that it will not take another 118 years to witness rapid progress in Miami. The Miami of tomorrow is progressing all around us.

It is worth pointing out that Julia Tuttle, who spearheaded the establishment of the City of Miami, and who owned the land on which it was founded (before she deeded every other lot to Henry Flagler), was not on the voter rolls, and thus not allowed to participate in the vote. Still, Miami is the only city we know of that was founded by a woman.

Excellent point, Linda. To extend your point about Miami being the only city founded by a woman, many would argue that the role that Mary Brickell played in the founding of Miami was just as important. The Brickells granted a considerable amount of land for the FEC Railroad extension and also provided plots of land on the south side of the river. It is very likely that Mary Brickell was the one that determined and negotiated the grant of land that was part of the Brickell / Flagler contract. Therefore, Miami may be the only city we know that was founded by 2 women.

It's a shame more recognition of Julia Tuttle is not given in Miami today. I wish there was a street downtown named after her. Perhaps N.E. 2nd Avenue which meets Brickell Avenue on the south and the Tuttle Causeway on the north. It would also go by City Cemetery where she is buried. We have a Brickell Avenue and a Flagler Street why not a Tuttle Street?

Excellent historical synthesis! Great work on this site!
Here's a little piece I put together on Miami's incorporation and 118th birthday:

She does have a causeway named after her. And causeways are more unique than a street.

About Julia Tuttle's importance to the history of early Miami, had she not died 2 years after incorporation we all can believe she would have left a much bigger mark on how the city evolved, just like Mary Brickell left hers.

William E. Fairburn and close combat fighting...
I read with interest an intriguing blog article over at Just a Thought about early 20th Century Jiu jitsu showing men in bowler hats attacking each other. What a fascinating thought! Here's me thinking self defence was a thoroughly late 20th Century concept but apparently not only was making sure your bowler hat was 1 inch above your ears and your collar clean and starched a main preoccupation for the well-dressed man of 1904, so was the issue of personal safety.
I also mistakenly made the assumption that the author of the book, a certain captain H. H. Skinner, was the same military man who had learned jiu jitsu whilst in the Singaporean police force then came to the UK and instructed special forces during the second world war. I was wrong! The man who did this was called William E Fairbairn who developed the killing commando knife (along with Eric Sykes - the military man, not the comedian!) also known as the Fairbairn Sykes.
Fairbairn served in the army and as a police officer in Singapore. He attended the Kodokan and was awarded a 2nd dan black belt from Kano himself! Ref here. He was well known for his ruthless efficiency in fighting and killing which is epitomised in his handbook,written during the Second World War for servicemen called: 'Get Tough!'.
In his foreword he says: "I should like in conclusion to give a word of warning. Almost every one of these methods, applied vigorously and without restraint, will result, if not in the death, then certainly in the maiming of your opponent".
Not traditionally the idea of a fair play gentleman, Fairbairn had a reputation:
"British Major Fairbairn, who had been chief of police in Shanghai before the Japanese capture of the city, taught the Fairbairn method of assault and murder. His course was not restricted to Camp X, but later given at OSS camps in the United States. All of us who were taught by Major Fairbairn soon realized that he had an honest dislike for anything that smacked of decency in fighting" [Dunlop, Richard (1980). Behind Japanese Lines. US: Rand McNally & Co. ISBN 0-52881-823-6.]
In 'Get Tough!' he often talks about hits and knee strikes to the testicles. This, after all, was war. It was produced at a time when there was a real threat to the UK of a German invasion and the civilian population was being prepared for all-out war. The Home Guard was mobilised even having secret squads trained in Fairbairn's techniques ready to infiltrate behind the enemy lines and wreak havoc. Ref. If ever there were a time to 'get tough', now was it...
The techniques which he taught during the war were from his own style of self defence called Defendu.
Interestingly there is a separate jiu-jitsu based martial art called Defendo (apparently unrelated to defendu) developed by Bill Underwood who, while working in theatres in Liverpool in the early 1900s, saw and trained in Judo and Jiu jitsu. He subsequently moved to Canada where Defendo and the curiously named British Jiu jitsu still exist: a style with roots in ancient Asian martial arts but with a realistic modern edge.

A worker lost three fingers and a section of his thumb while cleaning equipment in a work accident. The un-named man was assisting in helping another employee for O'Neill Concrete Pumping to pour concrete into a garden when the accident took place.
While attempting to clean the hopper after the work was completed, the 37-year-old's right hand was trapped when the swinging tube of the pumping mechanism moved.
Three of the man's fingers and part of his thumb had to be amputated when medical experts evaluated the injury at the local hospital; and the man said he has been left traumatised as a result of the accident.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the company had not made sure measures to stop dangerous parts of the hopper being accessed were in place, while supplier of the concrete pump Transcrete failed to ensure the design of the equipment was safe during times of maintenance.
Guy Dale, HSE inspector, said: "The employee will see his injuries every day and have to change the way he lives for the rest of his life."

Inmarsat and Actility deliver world's first global LoRaWAN™ IoT network empowering business applications
Inmarsat (LSE:ISAT.L) today announced how its LoRaWAN[1]-based network, developed in partnership with Actility, the industry leader in Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), is delivering on its strategy to bring the Internet of Things (IoT) to every corner of the globe. Early applications in Asset Tracking, Agribusiness and Oil & Gas are helping businesses in remote regions of the world become more efficient, reduce costs and drive new revenue through IoT-based solutions.
Inmarsat and Actility's three early applications cover:
Asset tracking: Tracking the location, movement, health and other key statistics of cattle on a remote ranch in Australia, replacing the manual process of sending an employee to look for cattle that have strayed. An alert is sent out to the ranch manager when an animal is at risk of being lost, is behaving erratically, or is nearing the perimeter of the ranch, enabling the owner to take immediate action.
Agribusiness: Monitoring the water levels in reservoirs and soil moisture at the roots of plants across the breadth of a large, remote palm oil plantation in Malaysia to deliver water to where it is most needed and achieve maximum crop yield. This enables smarter resource management in an area and reduces the amount of land required for production.
Oil & Gas: Remote monitoring of oil platform processes where cellular coverage is patchy or non-existent to identify potential failure points so that they may be addressed and costly downtime avoided. An upstream production site continuously measures operational parameters and transmits them to a control room where a SCADA system adjusts set-points and provides control settings.
The Inmarsat LoRaWAN network, powered by Actility's ThingPark™ LPWA platform, is the world's first global IoT network. It allows customers and partners to cost-effectively bring to market IoT solutions that can be delivered anywhere in the world, to any type of business, with LoRaWAN-based connectivity on the ground and satellite connectivity as the network backbone. The integrated platform provides an end-to-end solution that transmits site-specific data to applications in the cloud for analysis, delivering insights and supporting decision making, and creating value for the end customer.
"These three early applications are indicative of the industrial IoT market in general: businesses don't need an off-the-shelf IoT solution for Agribusiness or Asset Tracking; they need a specific solution for a specific problem," said Paul Gudonis, President, Inmarsat Enterprise. "Through our collaboration with Actility, we have the building blocks to tailor solutions for each specific opportunity, no matter where it is in the world."
Inmarsat and Actility last year announced a partnership that combines Inmarsat's global L-band satellite connectivity platform with Actility's ThingPark IoT management platform to deliver an integrated solution for IoT, linking connectivity, services and IoT devices from a single application and service management point, to connect objects deployed anywhere on the planet.
Actility is also now part of Inmarsat's Certified Applications Provider Programme (CAPP), which allows third-party companies to develop applications and solutions that are compatible with Inmarsat's satellite communications network.
"Actility has worked on many large-scale nationwide LPWA network deployments, but this is bigger: we're fantastically excited about being part of the first truly global IoT network in partnership with Inmarsat," said Actility CEO Mike Mulica. "Our collaboration with Inmarsat allows us to provide customers with an end-to-end solution to connect their assets and fulfill their IoT business needs anywhere in the world. We'll be working alongside Inmarsat every step of the way to help global customers address their specific needs with more efficient, best-fit solutions."

So, What Went Wrong?
Ever since America's decisive military victory, Iraq has been nothing but trouble. TIME reports on the errors and bad guesses, before and after the war, that got the Bush Administration into this spot
By Michael Elliott Monday, Oct. 06, 2003
On May 1, off the coast of California, President George W. Bush landed in flying gear on the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln — which sported a banner reading MISSION ACCOMPLISHED — and said, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended." The war, said Bush, had been carried out "with a combination of precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not expect, and the world had not seen before."
But the mission wasn't accomplished then, and it still is not. The reconstruction of Iraq has proved far more difficult than any official assumed it would be. Since...


Enter the marriage counselors to the NHL's labor dispute.
"I have had separate, informal discussions with the key representatives of the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association during the course of their negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement.
"At the invitation of the FMCS, and with the agreement of both parties, the ongoing negotiations will now be conducted under our auspices. I have assigned Deputy Director Scot L. Beckenbaugh, Director of Mediation Services John Sweeney, and Commissioner Guy Serota to serve as the mediators.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the development to the Star Tribune's Michael Russo.
"The FMCS reached out to both sides independently, and apparently we both agreed that we are prepared to explore the process," said Daly.
The mediation will not be binding.
The NHL had previously questioned the usefulness of mediation in its dispute with the players, citing the belief that each side fully understood the other side's position.
Mediators will meet with each side separately and familiarize themselves with issues, then look for potential compromises.
The mediation processes will start Wednesday.
The NHL and NHLPA met with federal mediators on Feb. 13, 2005. Three days later the season was cancelled.

An inquiry for assistance is being made. The current owner of our past wood boat along with other wood boat owners, in Ketchikan Alaska recently received notice that wood boat insurance policies will not be continued. This apparently addresses both hull/liability and stand alone liability policies.
This inquiry relates to Alaska in particular to which we seek information, yet may be subject for general discussion .
That is news to me, as we have an office in Anchorage, a huge insured market throughout the state, and have not heard anything about this. If you have any info on this, would you mind passing it to me? My email address is peter@anchormarineinsurance.com.
Followup- insurance for wooden boats in Alaska is alive and well!
Thanks Peter, Master and Commander of the boat just email his contentment and relief. Good show.
This forum is awesome with the information that flows to any inquiry of worth.

Is Jets GM Mike Maccagnan's Vision Starting to Take Shape?
The Jets haven't made the postseason since 2010 and they would have to get very hot in the season's second half to play this January. General manager Mike Maccagnan can't get to the dance soon enough, but he has to make sure every move he makes has the organization's best short and long-term interests in mind.
"The goal is the playoffs," he told reporters Thursday. "If you don't make the playoffs, are we moving the team in that direction?"
With his team 3-5 at the midway point, Maccagnan was active on the phone before the NFL's trade deadline Tuesday afternoon.
"I literally called — with the exception of maybe the teams in the division — pretty much every team in the league at some point of time," he said.
But with plans to be very active in free agency next spring, Maccagnan wasn't looking for quick and potentially costly fixes. There are some contenders built for long runs now and draft capital might not be valued as much while they make impact moves that potentially could push them over the top. The fourth-year Jets general manager liked some players out there, but he wasn't interested in deals that could potentially hurt him a few months down the road.
"If you're going to spend a lot of money and lose players, you're probably not going to get any compensatory picks," he said.
For years, the Jets had searched and searched for a quarterback. Maccagnan masterfully maneuvered this offseason to get in position to draft USC QB Sam Darnold and the rookie signal caller has been good early in his career.
"You want to build a team with a young quarterback who can be your guy going forward and kind of augment and build things around that," Maccagnan said.
The 21-year-old Darnold has passed for 1,705 yards while completing 55.2% of his throws with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has processed the offense well and been able to go out on the field and make quick decisions. His vision has been impressive and Darnold is an instinctive player who can make plays with his feet inside and outside the pocket.
"From early on, he's always been very steady and very cool under pressure," Maccagnan said. "He's had good games and he's had some rougher games, but we really like his progress and how he's developed. There still is a lot of football left to be played for him going forward, but I think initially, we're very positive and we're very excited about what he can be."
Darnold has been unflappable in the face of adversity as top wideouts Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa have battled injury and veteran running back Bilal Powell was placed on injured reserve with a bulging disk in his neck. The Green & White are 3-5 for a third consecutive season, but the landscape has changed dramatically. The Jets were floundering with Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm in 2016 and the future was murky in 2017 with Josh McCown having a career year and Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg unbale to make significant jumps. Now the Jets have their quarterback of the now and beyond and Maccagnan will have the resources to build around Darnold.
"We have a lot of things in place, that with a successful offseason, we can actually put ourselves in a position — where I think with that amount of cap space and cash in free agency along with our draft picks — we could be in a position in our mind to really springboard this thing forward," he said. "We feel good where we are, but it's just part of the process."
In addition to landing Darnold in April's draft, Maccagnan also selected immediate contributors in DL Nathan Shepherd, TE Chris Herndon, CB Parry Nickerson and RB Trenton Cannon in Rounds 3, 4 and 6. He has been encouraged by the development of a pair of third-year pros ILB Darron Lee and RT Brandon Shell and he likes what he has seen out of ILB Avery Williamson, a 26-year-old who joined the Jets in free agency.
"I think we've done some good things in the draft," he said. "I think we've augmented that through pro free agency and right now we have a good young core to build with going forward."
The Jets are green and that is part of the plan. They will continue to experience growing pains and learn from each experience. Maccagnan wants to win now but acknowledges it takes time to build and develop things.
"We are a younger team in terms of the average age of our starters. Depending on what the lineup is any given week, we're anywhere from 3 to 8 in the league in terms of the average age of our starters being young," he said. "But that's also a good thing because it gives us a chance to build what we always sort of thought was a good core going forward to kind of position this team in a way that can kind of grow together and be a young team and hopefully be a successful team."
The vision is taking shape. After winning 10 games in 2015, the Jets kept the band together again and a number of very good players got older and a few bodies broke down before our eyes in 2016. Then the Jets pivoted in 2017, cleaning up the books and focusing on culture while Josh McCown provided some enormous leadership and stability. But to have sustainable success in this league, you need a quarterback who can play at a high level and for a long time.
It would be foolhardy to say the hard part is over for Mike Maccagnan, but he's already made perhaps the most critical step of them all. He doesn't have to look far for a reminder.
"I was literally sitting in my office earlier and I noticed the first guy to run out to practice today was Sam Darnold maybe going out 20 minutes before everyone else to go get warmed up," he told reporters today.
Maccagnan worked the phones at the trade deadline, but the timing wasn't right. He is sticking to his plan and just getting warmed up for the spring.
GM Mike Maccagnan will be a guest on Practice Today presented by SiriusXM LIVE on nyjets.com, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and the Official Jets App presented by M&T Bank on Friday, Nov. 2 at 10:15 a.m.


The Regin Stove Range Heat Powered Stove Fan is designed to circulate the warm air that is created by a stove operating with normal surface temperature between 65°C and 345°C.
The warm air is pushed out into the living area rather than just rising to the ceiling above the stove.
Improved warm air circulation results in greater heat dispersion and less fuel consumption.
The stove fan does not use batteries or mains power.
The specifically designed blade delivers a very broad cross section of gentle air movement.
The stove fan starts automatically and adjusts its speed with the stove's temperature.
It runs faster to move more air into the room as the stove heats up, and automatically slows down and stops as the stove burns down & cools.
Circulates warm air throughout the room.

© Scott Wallis, Untitled B. 102, 2010. Laque sur panneau MDF | Lacquer on MDF. 20,32 x 20,32 x 6,35 cm. Gracieuseté de l'artiste | Courtesy of the artist.
Scott Wallis
From March 17th 2012 to April 21st 2012
Exposition solo
Knowing whether Scott Wallis approaches his material as a sculptor or a painter isn't really important, since his approach is precisely an attempt to reinvent an essentially abstract repertoire on the threshold of sculpture and painting. As such, his works reveal a form of disciplinary transgression that betrays an obvious pleasure in foiling the conventions that frame and confirm our perceptions.
His production of recent years shows an interest in reflecting on the shifting relationship between image and object. Not only must one move around the presented works to appreciate their effects, but one must also piece out and dissect the interstices, delimit the voids and volumes, and give as much attention to light-images as to shaped material-images.
Because his approach is one that lets form determine content, because the effectiveness of his pieces rest on an extreme simplicity, a depersonalized construction, and often serial composition, it seems appropriate to view Wallis' work as an investigation of space that attempts to give an updated perspective on issues that have been raised by formalism and minimalism. Though one should avoid the limiting constraints of "isms", it seems just as reasonable to associate his approach with artists who are now pursuing research in the wake of issues broached by the Plasticiens.
Presented in Montreal for the first time, Scott Wallis' oeuvre may be viewed as an art of formal interventions that exclude all expressive or narrative content. His works have no titles so as to create no fixed or even literary reference point for their interpretation. And yet, various topics are at play in his work, among them: colour, exploited for the rhythmic qualities it lends to the space; light, playing a major role in modulating sections and surfaces; and line, which turns the outside in. "The world is what we see and [. . .], nonetheless," as the artist might have said with Maurice Merleau-Ponty, "we must learn to see it."

Born in Toronto, Scott Wallis first obtained a degree in English and Philosophy from Queen's University before turning to the visual arts in the early nineties. He has since presented his work at such venues as the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, and the McMaster Museum of Art. Currently, he lives and works in Kingston, Ontario.
