Nowadays, the large proliferation of online file sharing solutions has made it very easy for users to store, access and share content across all devices. However, this element has also led to data security problems and compliance risks with employees creating their own accounts on consumer file sharing solutions to enhance productivity. This is always a huge problem.
Today, so many forward-thinking organizations are deploying enterprise-class Online File Sharing solutions to mitigate the risks caused by employees storing corporate content in consumer solutions. But not all enterprise solutions are alike.
ESG Lab performed hands-on testing of Syncplicity by Axway Enterprise Edition. The goal of this endeavour was to validate features that make it a secure, flexible and easy to manage OFS solution for enterprises. With this fact, ESG Lab looked at both Syncplicity by Axway from the perspective of the IT administrator who deploys and manages the solution, as well as from the viewpoint of the end-user who securely shares and collaborates across devices.
It should be no surprise that ESG Lab found Syncplicity by Axway to be "secure, efficient and easy for IT and users to deploy, operate and use." In fact, ESB Lab easily deployed the enterprise OSF solution, provisioned users and storage, and viewed dashboards and reports to manage the entire deployment. But the solution wasn't just pleasing to IT. ESG Lab "validated that the Syncplicity by Axway solution was easy to use with a clean, uncluttered interface and completely transparent sharing." They found that Syncplicity by Axway was easily accessible across their devices, thus increasing the pace of file sharing and collaboration. A win-win all around for everyone.

Processors that contain a Memory Management Unit (MMU) provide two views of memory, virtual and physical. The virtual address is the address prior to address translation in the MMU and the physical address is the address after translation.
Normally when the debugger accesses memory, it uses virtual addresses. However, if the MMU is disabled, then the mapping is flat and the virtual address is the same as the physical address.
To force the debugger to use physical addresses, prefix the addresses with P:.
If your processor additionally contains TrustZone technology, then you have access to Secure and Normal worlds, each with their own separate virtual and physical address mappings. In this case, the address prefix P: is not available, and instead you must use NP: for normal physical and SP: for secure physical.
Physical address access is not enabled for all operations. For example, the ARM hardware does not provide support for setting breakpoints via a physical address.
When memory is accessed via a physical address the caches are not flushed. Hence, results might differ depending on whether you view memory through the physical or virtual addresses (assuming they are addressing the same memory addresses).

Los Angeles anchorman is out of a job following an on-air, emotional farewell to colleague
A Los Angeles television station parted with a popular anchorman after he went on air to criticize management's handling of a colleague's departure, officials said Friday.
Mark Mester will not be in the anchor chair when KTLA's "Weekend Morning News" airs on Saturday, one week after he appeared to go off-script to rip the station for not staging a more grand goodbye to his longtime co-anchor Lynette Romero.
"Mark Mester is no longer employed by KTLA," according to a statement Friday by Irving, Texas-based Nexstar Media Group Inc., which owns CW affiliate Channel 5 in Southern California. "As this is a personnel matter, we will decline further comment."
This past Saturday, Mester seemed to choke back tears in telling viewers that the station should be ashamed of itself for not giving Romero a celebrated sendoff.
"I want to start off right now by offering up an apology to you. What the viewers experienced was rude, it was cruel, it was inappropriate and we are so sorry," Mester told viewers in an emotional nearly four-minute testament to his former co-worker. "I also want to say sorry to Lynette Romero. I love you so much, you literally are my best friend. You did not deserve what happened to you on Wednesday."
Mester's monologue was delivered alongside three colleagues and accompanied by reels of Romero's work and pictures from her personal life.
Three days earlier, KTLA weekday morning anchor Sam Rubin announced on air that Romero had left the station.
The words Rubin read on air last week mirrored a statement that Nexstar, which owns the station, made Friday to NBC News, attributing it to KTLA Vice President and General Manager Janene Drafs.
"After 24 years, Lynette Romero has decided to move on from anchoring our weekend morning news. We really wanted her to stay, and KTLA management worked hard to make that happen," according to Drafs' statement.
"Lynette decided to leave for another opportunity. We had hoped she would record a farewell message to viewers, but she declined," the statement said. "Lynette has been a wonderful member of the KTLA family and we wish her and her family the best."
The barebones sendoff, though, didn't satisfy Mester.
Although he praised Drafs on air Saturday, he took issue with unnamed bosses for the manner of Romero's exit. Mester said Romero had left KTLA to pursue another "opportunity."
"It was unfortunate … it was inappropriate and we are so sorry about that," he said of KTLA management. "Lynette deserved to say goodbye. It didn't happen. I don't know who wrote the script. I don't know who handed it to Sam Rubin. Regardless, this was a mistake. We owe you an apology, and we owe Lynette an apology."
Mester did not respond to messages seeking comment on Friday.
Longtime TV reporters and anchors will often receive loving, on-air sendoffs when they retire or leave their job.
But when those on-air personalities leave for a competing network or station, the separation is often immediate with little or no mention by the soon-to-be former employer.
KTLA did not say if Romero had secured another job, and she could not be reached for comment on Friday.
TV news contracts typically include no-compete clauses, preventing a reporter or anchor from working at a rival station for a set period of time, often six months.
Mester thanked Romero for her mentorship and said he learned that "dignity and grace" were the keys to success.
"And that is how we're going to say bye to you today," Mester said on air. "We're going to offer you dignity and grace, which is what the station should have done from the beginning."
Mester told viewers that an airplane dragging a "WE LOVE YOU LYNETTE!" message was flying over the station at that very moment. He shared a video of the prop plane pulling the banner on his Instagram, writing: "Now is the perfect time to tell @lynetteromero you love her!"

The University of Fort Lauderdale (UFTL) is a private non-denominational Christian university in Lauderhill, Florida. Founded in 1995, the school offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees and has a mission statement of being a "premier Christian institution of higher learning empowering future leaders through higher educational degrees rooted in Biblical principles". UFTL co-founder Henry B. Fernandez leads the school as chancellor and CEO.

History and leadership
The University of Fort Lauderdale was founded as Plantation Christian University in 1995, by Henry and Carol Fernandez, senior pastors of The Faith Center. Henry Fernandez has led the university as its chancellor and CEO since its founding; he is the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from St. Thomas University, and is styled "Dr. Henry Fernandez" by UFTL. A "president" is also mentioned in the school's 2021–22 catalog, and the school's athletics website lists Fernandez as both the chancellor and the president.

Other leadership and administration
The school lists five other administrators apart from Fernandez. Dawn Piper is the university's chief academic officer, Dr. Brian Hankerson is the chief financial officer, Gregory Sidberry is the university librarian, Lenice Barnett is the registrar, and Winsome Brown is the  bursar. The school has both a faculty and student senate; the faculty senate president is Dr. Veronica Carter.

Academics
The university contains three colleges - a College of Business Leadership, a College of Religious Studies, and a College of Liberal Studies. The application fee is US$35 and completion of an entrance exam is accepted in lieu of submission of SAT or ACT scores.

College of Business Leadership
The College of Business Leadership offers students the opportunity to "learn and apply real-world market concepts to help ensure their success in the 21st century marketplace." The college offers an Associate of Arts in business administration, a Bachelor of Arts in business administration, with eight possible concentrations (accounting, business administration, construction management, criminal justice, healthcare administration, human resource management, management, and marketing), and a Master of Business Administration degree.

College of Religious Studies
The College of Religious Studies offers coursework that allows students to pursue ministry and pastorship. The college offers four levels of degree: an Associate of Science in ministry, a Bachelor of Science in ministry, with four possible concentrations (Christian counseling, ministry, theology, and Christian education), a Master of Divinity or Master of Science in pastoral counseling, and a Doctorate of Ministry.

College of Liberal Studies
The College of Liberal Studies, also referred to as the College of Liberal Arts by the school's website, offers "the development of broad knowledge and abilities...informed by the Christian tradition." The college offers only one degree, a Bachelor of Arts in liberal studies, with seven possible concentrations – broadcasting, English, history, information technology, psychology, religion, and theatrical production.

Campus
UFTL's campus is located in Lauderhill, Florida, and is 33,006 square feet in size. Among the university's facilities is the Henry B. Fernandez Library, which contains over 5,500 books and is a member of the Library Information Resource Network.

Campus life
The university has an enrollment of 225 students. Students are required to attend chapel once per month, as it is referred to by the school as "an integral and indispensable
part of the learning experience"; the course code MIN 180 is used for chapel, which does not provide students with credits.

Athletics

The University of Fort Lauderdale competes in the South Region of Division I of the NCCAA and fields eight teams, known as the Eagles. The athletics program is a relatively recent addition to the college, with the announcement of its establishment published on Twitter on May 11, 2020. UFTL's acceptance into the NCCAA was announced on March 25, 2021.

Facebook ban pastor admits to group sex
Rev Cedric Miller found to have testified to group sex with his wife and a male church assistant
Sun 21 Nov 2010 13.26 EST First published on Sun 21 Nov 2010 13.26 EST

A pastor who said Facebook was a "portal to infidelity" – and told married church leaders to delete their accounts or resign – once testified that he took part in group sex with his wife and a male church assistant.
Rev Cedric Miller confirmed the information reported yesterday by the Asbury Park Press of Neptune, New Jersey, which cited testimony he gave in court in 2003. The activities had ended by that time.
Miller gained national attention when he issued his Facebook edict last week. He said that much of the marital counselling he has performed over the past year and a half has concerned infidelity stemming from the social networking site.
The 48-year-old leader of the Living Word Christian Fellowship church in Neptune claimed Facebook ignites old passions, and ordered about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts or resign from their leadership positions.
Miller had previously asked married congregants to share login information with their spouses, as he does. He also said he would leave the site this week.
In court testimony he gave in April 2003, Miller said his wife had an extramarital affair with an assistant at the church. Miller said he participated in many of the sexual encounters and the assistant's wife was sometimes present, too.
Miller said the activities – which occurred in the Millers' home – sometimes took place during Thursday Bible study meetings and on Sundays after church. But he said the encounters "came to a crashing halt" when several women in the church claimed they had also had sex with the assistant.
The testimony was given in connection with a criminal case against the assistant that was eventually dismissed. The names of the church assistant and his wife were not disclosed, and Miller told the newspaper that he was concerned that revisiting the incident would "irreparably" hurt some people.
"It has come to my attention that a very painful part of my past has resurfaced," Miller wrote in an email sent on Friday. Noting that his court testimony was mailed to church leaders and other pastors several years ago, Miller said, "This was resolved at that time and accordingly we will not allow it to detract from our mission at hand to save as many marriages as we can."
Miller said people must look at his Facebook directives in the proper context.
"My life as a minister, husband, father and friend has led me to the conviction that I must do all that I can to help as many people strengthen, preserve and repair the often times fragile cords of marriage," he wrote.

Juho Hanninen believes Skoda's Fabia Super 2000 can only improve following its impressive debut on the Monte Carlo Rally last week.
The Czech manufacturer is embarking on a six-event programme of Intercontinental Rally Challenge events this season and came close to winning on its first appearance in the series on the challenging rally.
Finnish driver Hanninen had opened up a lead of more than 90 seconds on the opening day but was slowed by a puncture before he crashed out in his efforts to make up for lost time. His team-mate Jan Kopecky finished fourth after being slowed by a power-steering failure on the opening day.
"Everything was going my way until Friday morning," the 27-year-old said. "I was surprised how fast I was able to go but the technicians did an excellent job and the car was working perfectly. Our tyre choices were very good, too, mainly thanks to my safety crew, who gave me very good information.
"I am sorry to have been too fast when I had my accident. I simply pushed too hard, as I wanted to make up for the one minute I lost when I had my puncture. It's a pity because the team has done a fantastic job here. However, a lot of hard work is still ahead of us but I believe that the car's future results will be very good and that this event has shown its great potential."
Hanninen added the close competition in the IRC would make it hard for his Skoda team to establish itself its first season running the Fabia Super 2000.
Frederic Henry-Biabaud, the competition director of tyre firm BFGoodrich, believes the company's investment in the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team programme has been vindicated following Sebastien Ogier's victory on the Monte Carlo Rally last week.
A panel of 16 French journalists selected Ogier from a short-list of five drivers, who had been whittled down from 75 applications received from French and Monegasque pilots.
This is the second season BFGoodrich has supported the scheme and Henry-Biabaud said he was very satisfied following Ogier's win at the wheel of a Kronos Racing-prepared Peugeot 207.
"This result says so much for the magic of the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team operation," he said. "Sébastien Ogier ended up winning the most famous rally of them all. Opportunities rarely get more magical than that."
"Barely two weeks ago, Sebastien's hopes of taking part in the Monte were little more than a dream. However, after receiving the majority of the votes cast by a panel of 16 French journalists in Paris earlier this month, he has gone on to win this extraordinary rally at his first attempt."
"Today's win is a tremendous success for the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team programme which is really proving to be the human adventure we intended it to be when it was introduced. The scheme's sixth outing since its launch at the beginning of 2008 has provided us with just the result we had been hoping for: outright victory."
The next event on the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team schedule will be the Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally from June 19-20.
MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION* DIFFERENT VIEWERS WATCHED SEASON-OPENER ON EUROSPORT
Eurosport Events, the promoter of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge is delighted to announce outstanding viewing figures from the Monte Carlo Rally, the opening round of the 2009 IRC series.
A cumulative reach of seven million* different viewers tuned in to Eurosport to watch the 77th Monte Carlo Rally, which was broadcast on a live basis from the stages - a first in the history of rallying.
Over the three days of the competition, a total of seven stages were shown live, including uninterrupted coverage from the last four stages, the legendary "Col de Turini" night tests.
In order to deliver this highly challenging live TV production, Eurosport Events used 10 on-board cameras and several fixed on-site cameras as well as one on a helicopter overflying the route. These multiple camera signals were relayed live through a combination of light aircraft and satellite.
In total, more than six hours of coverage were broadcast on both Eurosport and Eurosport 2 throughout the Monte Carlo Rally, which is well-known as the oldest and most prestigious rally in the history of the sport.
Géraldine Filiol, Managing Director of Eurosport Events, commented: "We are very happy with our landmark live coverage of this epic event, which marks a world premiere in the way that the sport of rallying is broadcast. We are also delighted that over seven million television viewers caught up with the live action on Eurosport, in addition to the many thousands of fans who joined the action on-site. These unprecedented figures reinforce the appeal of the IRC to a global television audience. It also confirms the value of the IRC, which intends to bring rallying closer to the fans through innovative and dynamic television coverage. I'd like to thank the Automobile Club de Monaco for a great partnership, enabling such a historic operation. We look forward to continuing our development and innovative approach over the rest of the season."
The IRC will continue to break new ground by visiting South America for the first time, as the second round of the series will take place in Brazil with the Rally Internacional de Curitiba from March 5 to 7. This event will run alongside Brazil's World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) round, held at the same venue and also promoted by Eurosport Events.

Kris Meeke's Blog
The Škoda Motorsport factory team presented two Fabia Super 2000 racing cars at this season' s first IRC event, entering a new stage of their Fabia Super 2000 project after nearly two years of development work. Driven by Finns Juho Hänninen and Mikko Markkula and Czechs Jan Kopecký and Petr Starý, respectively, the cars had to cope with challenging conditions including rough weather and have shown that Škoda Motorsport has developed a competitive racing car. The results and performances put in by both drivers, especially over the first two days of the event, are considered very positive and beneficial for further work on the Fabia Super 2000 project.
Finland's Juho Hänninen was first after the first day, Jan Kopecký, despite technical problems in the first speed test, quickly fought his way up from the 24th place after that test to finish tenth in the end.
On Day 2 the event moved to snow-covered roads near Valence where both Škodas did well again, coming first in four speed tests of altogether six - Juho Hänninen three times and Jan Kopecký once. Moreover, when Jan finished second after his team-mate in one of the tests, the team was applauded by fans for achieving a "double". However, the Finn had back luck in the last speed test of that day, falling down to the third place after one of his tyres got punctured. Continuing his way up, Jan Kopecký finished seventh.
The final part of the event brought the teams back to Monte Carlo. Although Juho Hänninen had to give up after an accident, he has shown that his experience is a great asset for Škoda Motorsport and that he is a good choice for the Fabia Super 2000 vehicle and the entire team. His performance at Stage 2, including three speed test wins, drew massive attention from both fans and media. Continuing his catch-up mission, Jan Kopecký put in another good performance and finished fourth in the total rankings.
Commenting on the factory team's Monte Carlo Rally performance, Head of Škoda Motorsport Michal Hrabánek said: "In the first place, we are glad to have successfully completed this important stage of our vehicle development project and opened the door to a new one. The Fabia Super 2000 project is running on two complementary levels, racing and sales. We have certainly made a competitive car that is prepared to compete with the best in its class, and I also consider the team's performance at this year's Monte Carlo Rally good. I daresay we have shown our strength, but there's still a lot of work ahead of us and we have to work as hard and efficiently as we have been working so far and never lose respect for our competitors. I wish to thank all of the team members, i.e., the crews, mechanics, engineers and other people involved for excellent teamwork, and believe that this Monte Carlo premiere will motivate all of them to continue working hard. I also believe that we have done a great job in terms of promoting the Škoda brand. Our further racing agenda will depend on detailed analysis of the Monte Carlo Rally performance, but our plan to take part in a further five events of the 2009 IRC series remains unchanged for the time being."
Summarising the whole competition, Juho Hänninen said: "Everything was going my way until Friday morning. I was surprised how fast I was able to go - the technicians did an excellent job and the car was working perfectly. Our tyre choices were very good, too, mainly thanks to my "on-track spies". I believe that the car's future results will be very good and that this event has shown its great potential. However, a lot of hard work is still ahead of us. I am sorry to have been too fast in Friday's speed test, I simply pushed it too hard as I wanted to make up for my one-minute loss. It's a pity, as the entire team has done a fantastic job here."
Finishing fourth in the total rankings and getting five points in the driver competition, Jan Kopecký was more than happy: "The Fabia Super 2000 has shown how fast it is, and it's apparent that the direction we have set is good. All the kilometres done in last year's tests are an important factor behind this success. I wish to thank the whole team and the Škoda company for helping us move this project ahead, as well as the Czech fans along the roads for supporting us loudly."
Reigning Junior World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier has won the 77th Monte Carlo Rally for the BFGoodrich Drivers' Team: the first time that the programme - which chooses a different local driver from the five rounds of the IRC on which it operates - has resulted in a rally winner.
Peugeot Belgium's Freddy Loix - the runner-up on last year's IRC series - got his 2009 campaign off to a solid start by finishing in a fault-free second on the Monte Carlo Rally, ahead of the Peugeot Total 207 S2000 entry driven by Le Mans star Stephane Sarrazin. Thanks to a magical atmosphere, challenging stages and typical weather, this year's Monte Carlo Rally well and truly lived up to its reputation as the oldest and most prestigious event in the sport.
Despite having no experience of Super 2000 machinery prior to a short test before his very first Monte Carlo Rally, Ogier took the lead at the end of the second day following a puncture for former rally leader Juho Hanninen. The Finn gave Skoda's new Fabia S2000 a spectacular IRC competition debut by claiming the lead on the opening morning, which he extended to more than a minute and a half before SS9: the final stage of day two. Hanninen then picked up a front puncture just five kilometres into the stage but chose to drive to the end, losing two minutes and dropping to third. He was confident that he could make the time back up, but crashed out on the very first corner of SS10: the first stage of Friday.
The same stage also claimed Irishman Kris Meeke, making his IRC debut along with Peugeot UK. Having set fastest time on SS3, the Irishman dropped around a minute on the second day with a puncture sustained after hitting a hole. On Friday morning though he lost control of his 207 S2000 after it slid onto a patch of slush. The car left the road in fifth gear and rolled five times, demolishing part of a bridge, but both Meeke and co-driver Paul Nagle emerged uninjured. A dramatic early retirement was that of Peugeot Belgium driver and reigning IRC champion Nicolas Vouilloz, who broke a steering arm on SS7 after a small impact.
As always, tyre choice was the key to the Monte Carlo Rally. With most stages containing a very wide variety of conditions it was normally a question of just finding the best compromise. One of the best examples was the final four stages through the Col de Turini this evening, which formed a dramatical climax to the 77th Monte Carlo Rally. Peugeot driver Stephane Sarrazin, who ran as high as second overall on the opening day, lost more than five minutes with an off on SS4: the opening stage of Thursday. Nonetheless, he steadily recovered throughout the remainder of the event to climb up the order.
The Frenchman gambled on his choice of tyres for the first loop of Col de Turini stages, selecting normal rain tyres instead of the snow tyres favoured by most people. This enabled him to claim third place by just one second from the other factory Skoda of Jan Kopecky, which performed strongly despite intermittent power steering problems. A storming run on the penultimate stage of the rally enabled him to claim fastest time by half a minute from Kopecky and seal his podium place. World rally star Toni Gardemeister - who has twice finished second in Monte Carlo - was set for second place until the alternator broke on his privateer Abarth Grande Punto with only three stages to go.
The factory Abarth team of Giandomenico Basso, Anton Alen and Luca Rossetti suffered mixed fortunes. Rossetti was out on the very first stage after sliding into a snowbank. The same fate awaited the 1994 World Rally Champion Didier Auriol, who put his privateer Peugeot off within metres of Rossetti.
The IRC 2WD Cup was comfortably won by Fiat Punto S1600 driver Manuel Villa

Sebastien Ogier will drive the BF Goodrich supported Peugoet 207 S2000 in Monte Carlo. (Car No 9)
The entry list for the 2009 Monte Carlo Rally has been published, with Kris Meeke & Paul Nagle in the Peugeot UK Super 2000 car seeded 12th on the event. Kris will depart for Monte on Sunday 11th January in preparation for the recce, and ends next week with his first test in the car. The event, based at Monte Carlo, runs from Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th January 2009.
Kris is looking forward to driving to car for the first time next week:
"I've never driven the Peugoet S2000 machine in competition before. You have to be quite assertive with them, and I think that this should suit my driving style. But I go into the championship with a lot less experience of the cars and events compared to some of the other drivers so I plan to look at the bigger picture -- the championship."
The Interwetten Racing Team confirms seven of eight rallies in the IRC series
For Franz Wittmann, a new era in his rally career has already begun. Since Monday the 25-year-old Lower Austrian and his co-driver Bernhard Ettel are inspecting the special stages of the legendary Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, where the 77th edition will commence on January 21 at 7.30. At the same time this marks the start of the IRC series, the second-highest ranking series in the rally circus after the World Rally Championship.
Yet, to Wittmann, this milestone is the beginning of an intensive year of learning, for, with the exception of the WRC-run in Sweden in 2004, the Austrian Vice-National-Champion is still inexperienced internationally. Even more so since the starting list at the classic in the French Maritime Alps can boast of several impressive names. From three-times Monte winner Didier Auriol (Fra) over IRC Champion Nicolas Vouilloz (Fra), WRC-old hand Toni Gardemeister (Fin) to up-and-coming rally youngster Sebastien Ogier (Fra) no less than 17 drivers will compete on S2000 cars. But Wittmann is not afraid of big names and puts the focus on his own goals:
"We are steering a straight course and won't deviate from it. Obviously the teams with S2000 cars will be dominating. But our Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX by Stohl-Racing is a very reliable car which carried us to the title of Vice-Champion in the National Austrian Championship. Our goal, as mentioned many times, is to learn by each completed kilometer to assert ourselves in international rallying. Therefore the performance is what counts rather than the place in the end."
For this schedule Franz Wittmann has found a very understanding partner in Interwetten. CEO Mag. Thomas Daubek confirms that the main focus is on the development and evolution of Wittmann:
"It was our definite decision to support a young driver. Franz Wittmann fits our brand and we want to accompany him on this way even if we can't expect victories at the beginning. Franz shall have the opportunity to get acquainted with this motor sports series and move up to the top step by step."
Since the final timetable for the IRC series was only announced last weekend Interwetten Racing has finalised seven of eight runs so far. Beside the beginning in Monte Carlo these are the Rally Acores (Portugal), the Ypres Rally (Belgium), the Barum Rally (Czech Republic), the Rally Asturias (Spain), the Rally Sanremo (Italy) and the season's finale in Scotland. The eighth run will be decided between the Rally Russia and the Rali Madeira (Portugal).
Wittmann: "This is a real challenge that I'm looking forward to. I will prepare very carefully for each run. I know that this season is not only a year of learning but also will be quite decisive for my future career. For I, of course, owe it to my partner Interwetten to present myself both professionally and successfully."
Franz Wittmann's aim for the Monte Carlo Rallye is the first place behind the S2000 teams even though the group of Mitsubishis and Subarus will prove to be strong competition. But the Lower Austrian has already shown that he can very well deal with difficult surface conditions at the National Austrian Championship finale in the Waldviertel. Conditions that can surely be expected at the "Monte".

Welcome to the new season of the Mutant transmissions Radio. The Show moved to Thursday 7pm – 8pm weekly and last week was our first show of the season. We kicked things off with some queer dance tracks from my Dj set at Lumiere Blue. Next up was a preview of shows and festivals coming up in Belgium like Youth Code/ Trepaneringsritualen/ Onmens show happening next night, B-Wave and Bim festivals and of course one of my favorites Waveteef Festival. After a set from the bands playing these shows and festivals we were on to a rundown of some of the best underground festivals that happened between the radio seasons namely Gothic Pogo Festival, Kalabalik, Young and Cold and Minicave-Festival. Next Of course I also did a set with bands that played those festivals. And that was the end of the first episode that ended way too fast with many things unmentioned and unplayed, but luckily this is a weekly show so we have time to catch up!
Tagged bounce, ebm, Festivals, minimal wave, post punk, tropical bass.

NYT: "A Museum Tackles Myths About Jews and Money"
These aren't even tropes, they are myths. Myths, I tell you!
"Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver" (1629), by Rembrandt, is the centerpiece of an exhibition called "Jews, Money, Myth" at the Jewish Museum in London.
After all, what better proves that stereotypes about Jews and money are myths than a Jewish Museum lavishly mounting an exhibition on the topic, complete with a Rembrandt lent by a private collector?
David Feldman, a professor of history at Birkbeck, University of London who is director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism (which was consulted for the exhibition), said the left sometimes did not initially identify certain patterns of behavior as racist or anti-Semitic.

Researchers at the University of Calgary and University of Ottawa have provided deeper insights to CO2 capture by "seeing" the exact sites where CO2 is held in a capture material. Their discovery, published in Science, will allow scientists to design better materials to capture more CO2.
This research may be used for a variety of applications. "We could ultimately see this process helping to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions on the top of coal burning flue stacks or it could be used to help remove CO2 from unconventional natural gas reservoirs," says Dr. Ramanathan Vaidhyanathan, the paper's first author and research associate at the University of Calgary.

'The Ellen DeGeneres Show': Ellen DeGeneres Made Fun of Selina Gomez for Saying Justin Bieber Was Like Her 'Little Brother'
Those who know Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are surely familiar with their on-again, off-again relationship saga. Gomez appears to be single now, and Bieber is married to Hailey Baldwin. But before Bieber and Gomez went their separate ways a few years back, we can't forget all the commotion they caused in the pop world.
Now, we're looking back at an old interview Gomez had on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And Ellen DeGeneres made fun of Gomez for first claiming her relationship with Bieber was similar to that of siblings. Here's what happened.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had a relationship that spanned years
Anyone who's followed pop culture knows about Bieber and Gomez. Vogue explains the two were linked all the way back in 2010 when they visited an IHOP together. At the time, Gomez denied rumors of a relationship and claimed she was just getting some pancakes with a friend. But many thought something else was going on.
By January 2011 the couple was fully out with their relationship in the public eye. Unfortunately, by November 2012, it seems Bieber and Gomez were finished over reported "trust issues." But they didn't call it quits completely. In November 2015, a video showed Bieber in a hotel room with Gomez, leading to more questions regarding where the two stand. Then, in 2017, Gomez and Bieber were caught hanging out several times.
It seems the couple officially cut things off in 2018. And Bieber instead pursued a relationship, and eventually a marriage, with Baldwin that same year.
Gomez denied dating Bieber on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' at first
When Gomez appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show years ago, rumors swirled that she and Bieber were romantically linked. But she denied it all at first. Back in 2010, DeGeneres made fun of the alleged romance.
"So, you're a busy girl," DeGeneres starts with Gomez back in 2010. "You've got a CD out, you've got a clothing line, and you're an ambassador. I don't know how you have time to date Justin Bieber."
Gomez looks shocked at the accusation. "What?" she said back. "He's little! No, he's like my little brother. That's weird to me."
Gomez then added that Bieber is "very sweet." And when DeGeneres wanted to confirm that the two do "hang out," Gomez assured that yes, this was correct.
DeGeneres later made fun of Gomez for saying Bieber was like a 'little brother'
It looks like Gomez won't be able to live down her "little brother" comment regarding Bieber. The pop star returned to The Ellen DeGeneres Show soon after that initial comment was made, and it seems this time, she was able to confirm that she and Bieber had an ongoing romance. And DeGeneres brought up the comment about Bieber being like Gomez's younger sibling.
"Don't take me to jail!" Gomez jokes once she realizes the jig is up and she has to admit to DeGeneres what's really going on.
"He's like your little brother?" DeGeneres jokes again. "What do you have to say now?"
"I don't know!" Gomez said. And she reiterated once again that Bieber is very sweet.
"He's sweet as can be!" DeGeneres said. "But he's not like your little brother, is he?"
"No," Gomez added. "No he's not."
Bieber visited DeGeneres soon after Gomez, and DeGeneres brought up the romance to him as well. "I only live once, and it sucks to always have to hide it," Bieber said about keeping his relationship quiet. "I just kind of do me."
We know there's no hiding Bieber and Baldwin's romance now. As for Gomez, we're sure she's glad all of this is behind her as she embarks forward without Bieber by her side.

At this year's productronica trade fair, Rohde & Schwarz is showcasing its innovative T&M solutions for next generation wireless communications technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), fifth generation mobile radio (5G), automotive radar and infotainment systems.
In addition to the showcases, the Rohde & Schwarz Memmingen and Teisnach plants will be presenting their production and development services. Here is a list of what to expect from R&S at productronica 2017.
At productronica, developers active in 5G or general broadband communications will be able to see a test solution consisting of the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW43 signal and spectrum analyzer. This test setup supports Verizon 5GTF signals and numerous 5G candidate waveforms in the frequency range up to 40 GHz. The new R&S FSW-B2001 integrated hardware option extends the internal analysis bandwidth of the R&S FSW43 to 2 GHz. With this option the signal and spectrum analyzer offers a 14 bit ADC resolution and a wide dynamic range.
For machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT), narrowband IoT standards are currently being developed for a variety of application scenarios. Developers and manufacturers of corresponding chipsets, radio modules and devices with IoT connectivity need test solutions that enable them to check the quality and performance capability of components. The R&S CMW290 functional radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz is an ideal and economical solution for measuring the transmitter and receiver characteristics of an NB-IoT module or chipset. The trade show booth also features a demo of how developers can use an R&S CMW290 in combination with the R&S CMWrun sequencer software and the R&S RT-ZVC02/04 multichannel power probe to measure the battery life of IoT modules, which is a key operating parameter.
At productronica, Rohde & Schwarz will also be exhibiting oscilloscopes to meet any requirement when it comes to the development of associated embedded designs, analysis of integrated power electronics or troubleshooting. The compact lab oscilloscopes of the R&S RTO2000 and R&S RTE families, with their unique multi-domain attributes in combination with specific probes, are ideal development tools for power integrity measurements of embedded designs and other tasks. The R&S RTO family covers bandwidths up to 6 GHz, the R&S RTE family up to 2 GHz. Thanks to a recent model upgrade, the R&S RTE is now available as standard with an integrated HD mode (16 bit resolution) and an integrated SSD memory card. Measurements on power electronics, for example fast GaN transistors, are an important field of application for the R&S Scope Rider handheld digital oscilloscope. Its isolated inputs eliminate the need for costly differential probes, and it offers bandwidths up to 500 MHz. The entry-level R&S RTB2000 is suitable for general lab measurements and for educational applications up to 300 MHz.
Radio modules are used in a wide variety of devices, including IoT interfaces, mobile devices, consumer electronics, and vehicle infotainment systems. For this, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase production tests on WLAN and Bluetooth(R) modules using the R&S CMW100 multi-device communications manufacturing test set. Up to a bandwidth of 160 MHz, the demo presents typical nonsignaling production measurements for the latest WLAN IEEE 802.11ac/ax standards and for Bluetooth(R), Release 5. This solution enables manufacturers of radio modules and mobile devices to test several WLAN and Bluetooth(R) modules in parallel thanks to the "smart channel" concept and the R&S CMWrun sequencer software. Test data from the development environment can easily be transferred to production tests.
For manufacturers and integrators of automotive radar components, Rohde & Schwarz is presenting test solutions for every price and performance class at productronica. For example, developers and production departments can use the ARTS radar target simulator together with the R&S FSW43 signal and spectrum analyzer to test automotive radar sensors up to 1 GHz bandwidth. For analyzing broadband FMCW chirp signals, Rohde & Schwarz is exhibiting the R&S FSW85 signal and spectrum analyzer with extended signal analysis bandwidth up to 5 GHz for center frequencies up to 90 GHz. This is made possible by the new R&S FSW-B5000 hardware option and the R&S RTO2064 digital oscilloscope featuring a 6 GHz bandwidth.
At the trade show, the radar signals generated in this test system are impaired by standard interfering signals originating from an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and an R&S SMZ90 frequency multiplier. This allows users to emulate realistic radar interference signals in all relevant automotive radar frequency ranges in the 24, 77 and 79 GHz bands using configurable parameters. At the booth, visitors can also find EMI test receivers that allow them to perform any standard-compliant disturbance measurement, e.g. the R&S ESRP for precompliance tests or the high-end R&S ESW, which fulfills the most stringent requirements for certification measurements in line with all relevant standards.
A radar test station for the production environment is also on display. It consists of the R&S AREG100A automotive radar echo generator and the mobile, almost cabinet-sized R&S ATS1000 shielded chamber. This system is suitable for radar signals in the 24, 77 and 79 GHz frequency bands and complemented by a signal and spectrum analyzer specifically configured for the corresponding measurement task.
For typical automotive radar IF signals and downconverted RF signals, the demo system additionally shows how radar pulses can be analyzed in detail using the R&S RTO2044 digital oscilloscope and the R&S VSE vector signal explorer software.
Rohde & Schwarz offers a comprehensive product portfolio for testing RF and microwave components. A new product in the high-end range is the analog R&S SMA100B RF and microwave signal generator for component characterization. This signal generator offers uncompromising maximum performance: it generates signals with very low phase noise and the highest output power with extremely low harmonics. Combined with the high-end R&S FSWP26 phase noise analyzer and VCO tester, it gives users a unique, high-precision solution for wideband phase noise measurement.
The new compact test equipment family consisting of the R&S FPL1000 spectrum analyzer and the R&S ZNL network analyzer is also on display. These portable devices with versatile measurement functions are suitable for many applications in research, service and production. For example, the R&S ZNL can be converted into a 3-in-1 allrounder with the integrated spectrum analysis option and power probes.
Other exhibits include a multiport RF component test solution based on the R&S ZNBT multiport vector network analyzer, which supports up to 20 GHz and 24 test ports, as well as the R&S BBA130 twin-band broadband amplifier with adjustable amplifier parameters for design and product validation tests.
Rohde & Schwarz is exhibiting at booth 375 in hall A1 at productronica. On Tuesday, November 14, 2017 there will be a press day. Journalists are invited to come and learn more about the products.


Ah, there's nothing like a good joke at the expense of politicians, is there? GQ would agree and has this lovely map which features delightful names for places we all know and love. Like calling K Street the "Grass-Roots Funding Avenue," and the Verizon Center "where white and black people come together".
There's nothing quite like New Yorkers telling us what we should call our city, is there? It would've been nice if they'd at least given the map some local color, but apparently like all New Yorkers, the only part of DC that matters to GQ is the federal part. Next time, GQ, maybe take a look at the rest of the city?
I think you missed the sarcasm in GQ's post. They are openly mocking new Republicans. They say the National Mall doesn't have a Cinnabon…yet. That's funny. I'm always up for defending DC, especially from New Yorkers, but this is off base.

Jane Fonda: The Interview
At "73 and a half," Jane Fonda still looks fabulous. On the release of her latest book, Prime Time, she talks about mug shots, men, and finally learning to love her body. Read the interview below and then check out her best red-carpet looks through the years.
By Laura Brown
Aug 4 2011, 4:00 am EDT
Jane Fonda is sitting on the couch in her house in Beverly Hills, having just worked out with her "really cute" trainer upstairs. Still sinuous at 73, she's wearing leggings, a pink track top, and tinted glasses that make it hard to tell if she's staring into your soul or rolling her eyes.
She is reminiscing about her infamous 1970 mug shot, from her arrest for "drug smuggling" in Ohio. (The charge was dropped when it was revealed they were vitamins.) "It was like I had Richard Avedon in that jailhouse taking my mug shot; it's a beautiful mug shot," she pronounces. "My hair was in Klute mode. About four years ago, I went to the Sally Hershberger salon in New York and one entire wall, like six feet, was my mug shot!"
Fonda had another out-of-body experience this May in Cannes, where she was a Pucci-clad hit, prompting gushing headlines like SEXIER THAN EVER AT 73. "Well, I was in my skin, as the French say, bien dans ma peau," she recalls. "I was at the entry of the Palais, P-A-L-A-I-S" — she helpfully spells out exotic words — "and there are all these posters of Bardot, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, and then there's me!" Fonda posted a picture on her Web site — where you can also buy a mug-shot T-shirt to benefit adolescent pregnancy prevention — of her with her younger showgirl self. "When I saw it," she says, "I almost passed out."
It's a unique existence, happening upon iconic images of oneself, but Fonda, who turns 74 in December, has known no other way. Every one of her incarnations is in the collective subconscious: the "daughter of" (Henry Fonda), Hollywood ingenue, muse (to her first husband, Roger Vadim), Oscar-winning actress, activist, fitness queen, political wife (Tom Hayden), then, with her marriage to media mogul Ted Turner, which ended in 2001, self-characterized "wife of."
Fonda will rattle off all of these personae at warp speed, like a shopping list of reinvention. She sees the various chapters of her life "organically. I know that it's difficult for people outside of my skin to see it that way, but for me, I can say it has been a natural evolution."
Fonda fans tend to "imprint" on her. This came into sharp relief at book signings for her 2005 memoir, My Life So Far. One woman: "Remember the workout where you had the shiny blue tights and leg warmers? That got me through my mastectomy." Another: "Cat Ballou — I watch it every time I'm depressed." Another: "Do you remember when we marched against the war in San Diego in 1971?" She starts to laugh. "And then a man would come through and it would be … Barbarella."
In her new book, Prime Time, Fonda mentions daughter Vanessa's suggestion that she illustrate the cover with a chameleon. "That was the rap on me," she says. "When I was researching myself, I wondered, is there a 'there' there? Or am I just a hollow person who gets filled up by whatever man I'm with?" (She is currently dating music producer Richard Perry.) "I'm fine with women. My problem is always with men — you know, pleasing a man, turning myself into a pretzel to be who the man I'm with wants me to be. I'm not saying that that's gone away 100 percent, but maybe 90 percent, 95 percent even."
What Fonda is giving 100 percent to is her argument that the "third act" of one's life is not an end but a different sort of beginning. "Instead of viewing an arch — you rise, you peak, you decline — view it as a staircase," she explains. "Your body may fall apart, but on every level that really matters, you can ascend toward enlightenment, wisdom, and authenticity. That's what I'm going for."
Fonda is climbing the "staircase" two at a time. Prime Time is filled with advice ranging from pragmatic ("Figure out a baseline budget") to penile. ("The penis starts to get smaller with age.") What makes it so readable is her advice comes filtered through her personal experience.
One of Fonda's greatest lessons has come from her battle with body image. "I was raised in the '50s," she explains. "I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered, frankly. He was a good man, and I was mad for him, but he sent messages to me that fathers should not send: Unless you look perfect, you're not going to be loved."
A fanatic exerciser since her teens, she also battled bulimia for decades. "I wasn't very happy from, I would say, puberty to 50? It took me a long time." It's shocking to think of Fonda barefoot in the park, in Vietnam, mother of two children (Vanessa and Troy) … bulimic. "It was in my 40s, and if you suffer from bulimia, the older you get, the worse it gets. It takes longer to recover from a bout. I had a career, I was winning awards, I was supporting nonprofits, I had a family." One day she just stopped. "I had to make a choice: I live or I die." She refocused, trying to "fill that empty space with something." Then came the workouts. "Gloria Steinem said empowerment begins in the muscles."
The rest, of course, is history. In 30 years, Fonda has sold more than 17 million fitness books and videos, with Fit & Strong and Walk Out the latest. "I have a six-pack back," she laughs about modeling a backless number in Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief runway show in Cannes. "I don't do lunges, though, because I have a fake knee and a fake hip. I set off as many bells and whistles at an airport as I did on that runway!"
Jane Fonda 3.0 is something to behold. Since her red-carpet victories in Cannes, she has been enjoying her fashion moment. "I'm vain. My arms are thin, but I'm vain about loose flesh. And so I'm careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt." That said, "I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness. Colt, not cult: C-O-L-T."
Fonda's blog is as entertaining as her turns of phrase. Pictures of her dog, Tulea, sit alongside a grumpy-looking Sean Penn at a Cannes premiere or a woman's "torture chamber" shoes. "What helps me, now that I'm old, is I don't take things as seriously as I used to," she says. "I almost never get stressed."
She's glad that she's not growing up in Hollywood today and expresses sympathy for Lindsay Lohan, who she worked with on 2007's Georgia Rule. "I have nothing but compassion for her. I don't think she has ever experienced a chaos-free life." Leaving Hollywood would help. "It would require someone to put their arms around her and take her away someplace, maybe New Zealand, where she had absolutely no temptation. She would have to be surrounded with love."
Fonda doesn't watch movies from her own ingenue days too often. "I find it painful, frankly. I'd like to redo every one of them, including Barbarella." How? "Well, when Barbarella was in the orgasmic machine, she would have laughed. I shouldn't have acted the way I did. I would have gotten in there with absolute confidence that there was no friggin' way this machine was going to get me. I would have flipped on my special switch and known with great laughter and joy that I was going to blow its fuses."
Fonda has been flipping the switch for more than 50 years and is acutely aware of her value. (She reminds you that she was on Oprah for "the full hour.") After rave reviews for her Broadway turn in 33 Variations in 2009, she gets theater offers, "but I would do television, for sure! Hmm, the roles that I covet — Nurse Jackie; I am in love with Edie Falco. I just adore The Big C, I love Weeds…"
Think of it, the legendary Jane Fonda cameoing as a pot dealer on Weeds. "But I don't want to cameo," she scoffs. "I want to be the lead."

Work from home? You may be retiring from a career, but retiring in Sequim doesn't mean you can't still have an extra income. Many retirees are working from home part time in Sequim and Port Angeles. For some it's not about the income–it's about their passion and doing something they've dreamed about their whole lives. For others it is about the income and doing something they enjoy.
Technology and the Internet has changed business and making money forever, and it is more realistic to work from home today than ever before. This is great for retirees moving to Sequim. Many of my clients retire from professional careers and continue with their own consulting business, which they conduct primarily online with an occasional meeting they can drive or fly to. But many corporations are now having employees work from home or sub-contracting work out to people who work from home.
I've had clients in Sequim who work from home as artists, architects, teachers, seminar instructors, engineers, Realtors, day traders (stocks, options, futures, commodities), authors, scientists, business development consultants, and clients who made and sold products of various kinds from home ranging from complex electronic devices to quilts and everything in between.
You can work from home now with tools that were not available to us 20 or 30 years ago. You can drop ship items, or do research and draft reports and email them anywhere in the world, and you can accept payments online with secure payments systems. You can create a beautiful and professional virtual office on the Internet, allowing you as a small entrepreneur to work from home and complete with big corporations.
If you are planning to retire in Sequim, you might consider doing what you've always had a passion to do, and/or earning extra money while you work from home part time. The Internet and the great tech tools we have at our fingertips has made all this possible, and time and distance have almost been eliminated in marketing today. Just food for thought. Consider work from home.
Have you ever needed to be somewhere when you are expecting a FedEx delivery but you don't have a FedEx Signature Waiver form? You search the FedEx site and can't find a form, nor can you find instructions about how to get your hands on a FedEx Signature Waiver form. You call the toll free number, and the lady who answers the phone doesn't have a clue. She puts you on hold, and then she comes back and tells you to leave a note with your signature. She's no help. You wonder what to put in the note and how to address it or what information the FedEx guy will need.
Finally, someone has taken the initiative to create a FedEx Signature Waiver form. Thank God. You can thank me later, but here it is for you to download or copy for your own use over and over again.
You can download the form by clicking on image above or by simply going to FedEx Signature Waiver form.
Postscript in the preamble dated 8/15/08: Microsoft and Yahoo did not reach an agreement. No big surprise. Everyone thinks the two companies and their executives are geniuses, but I have news for you. It is very possible that they are actually quite incompetent. Yes, they have created massively successful companies, but the execs still cannot walk on water. Microsoft made every mistake that could be made in this fiasco of a takeover, and the Yahoo folks may have walked away from billions of dollars as their own company is loosing Internet space) and could someday be worth a small fraction of what it was worth.
A Microsoft buyout of Yahoo would be a disaster. Such an acquisition would send us back in time, technologically speaking. The outcome has major implications for all of us, including the real estate industry, which depends heavily upon the Internet. Here's why.
First, large companies (in this case multi-billion dollar companies) do not merge with the same simplicity of making a banana split. You can hardly screw up mixing ice cream, fruit, nuts, and sweet flavors. Whatever you end up with is edible, at least for the creator. Attempting to mix two massive organizations with completely different foundations, management philosophies, marketing structures, business models, affiliate relationships, customer networks, financial and investment practices, and market niches would be the ultimate nightmare for both companies, but ultimately for consumers.
Steven Covey, one of this country's most knowledgeable and respected experts on business and mergers, said long after the merger of his company and the Franklin company that he would not have done it if he knew how massively complex and impossible it would be. That merger would be a skip in the park compared to a Microsoft buyout of Yahoo, which would be more like a New York marathon.
The second reason a Microsoft Yahoo merger (or acquisition) would be a disaster is because we all know from history (which we won't naively forget, right?) that Microsoft is the leader of absolute control, and the consumer is always going to pay for submitting to Microsoft. That is true of operating systems, software, subscription services and Internet infrastructure.
If you give Microsoft the keys to the castle, you will pay forever to live in the Kingdom, to own property, for the right to grow and sell crops, to irrigate your fields, to plant red roses (premium fees will apply if you want other colors), and if you want to actually tour the castle, you will pay in gold (secured by the lives of your grandchildren).
Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently called Microsoft's attempt to buy Yahoo "unnerving" and said the move imperils innovation on the Internet. Sergey Brin is correct.
An acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft would be a major disaster for all of us. Except Google. The leaders at Google are Internet light years ahead of Steve Balmer and company. While millions of consumers are moving rapidly toward open source software and reasonably priced and beneficial subscription services, and away from Microsoft products and services as fast as they can run, Google is embracing consumers' needs and preferences. What is Steve Balmer thinking? Where is Bill Gates anyway? Oh, yea, he left the building.

Blog Voices This Week 12/1/07
When I started writing this weekly essay, the idea was to travel around the "diversosphere" and catch interesting items so that we could bring those voices here. I've focused mainly on blogs written by people of color and hoped that we could highlight some of the excellent stuff that's going on, whether it was a news story about people of color that the msm had missed, or a challenge to the dynamics of racism in our culture.
But we've had an interesting week on that issue right here in our little corner of the world. I know there's been a lot of heat related to the topic and the personalities involved. But in the midst of it all, there was some amazing wisdom shared and ... change happened.
So, this week, I'd like to congratulate everyone for hanging in there. To do so, I thought I'd stay right here this week and bring you a few of the kernels of wisdom that were shared by some of our own dharmaniacs.
Lets start with da boss who, despite being sleep-deprived and weary from playing referee, was able to contribute more than a few nuggets of his own.
buhdydharma
White people...IN GENERAL....are the undoubted oppressors and beneficiaries when it comes to issues of race. We never can experience racism (in this country) because we are 'the majority' and have lived in a racially blind culture all of our lives.
Due to that cultural fact.....We simply cannot judge ourselves objectively enough to determine whether we have engaged in racist behavior or not. We can try our absolute best, but imo, we must ALWAYS take that sort of observation of our behavior VERY seriously and never assume that we are in the right.
The culture conditions us to racism, and it is our individual responsibility to make sure we haven't and don't fall into the cultural traps. No matter how good our intentions and no matter how much we have done in the past to combat it within ourselves.
And besides...why is sitting down and taking a good hard look at yourself vis a vis racism such an odious task that it should be avoided?
Now, I'll travel around to a few of the pertinent essays and give you some more gems.
It's not that I'm cynical about racism, it's that racism may be a natural consequence of living in a society with a large "default" culture. When the power, money, and influence rest predominantly with one group of people, mainstream culture begins to reflect that to the exclusion of other people. You don't even have to be conscious of it to recognize it happening, because if you belong to the dominant subset it isn't striking to you that the majority of movies are about your people or the majority of tv shows have your face, etc. It's actually really easy for white people in this country to be colorblind: it's impossible for anyone non-white.
By way of illustration, I can only use my own experience as a gay man. Anywhere from 2 to 20% of the population is gay (and a heckuva lot more are bisexual or sexually fluid). But think about the stories we read our children: we expect, without thinking about it, that the prince will try to rescue a princess. It's not that we're heterosexually fixated, it's that our history and the dominance of a particular worldview are so deeply embedded that we don't even realize it when it's happening around us.
It's not just our feelings of shame and disgust about alternative sexualities: it's a default expectation about the way things 'should' be. As anyone, even a gay man or lesbian, to improvise a fairy tale and odds are good it will involve a prince and a princess, but not a same-sex loving pair of either.
It takes a lot of hard work simply to become conscious of the process - but I'd argue it's far to Quixotic to suggest that we can free ourselves from it entirely. If you asked me, "why can't we just drop our assumptions about sexuality?", I'd say, "Because it's on my mind everywhere, in ways that straight people don't even recognize. Anytime I'm walking down the street and see a straight couple holding hands, it's an immediate reminder that I don't enjoy that kind of social freedom." Little things that straight people don't consider sexualized are persistently, necessarily sexualized for me.
I can't speak for people of color, but I'd assume that the dynamics are somewhat the same there: colorblindness isn't really an option.

Colorblindness used to mean one thing, and now I'm afraid the rightwing has successfully re-framed it into an offensive notion, into an excuse for continued racism.
It used to mean that when somebody wanted to use a public accommodation, like a railroad or a public park, race wouldn't be used to exclude that person. The service in a restaurant would be colorblind. That was a good and righteous goal. When affirmative action began, the reactionary claims about "special rights" and "special treatment" abounded, and all of a sudden the rightwing was claiming that everything (college admissions, hiring, etc) had to be colorblind, because that way the status quo could likely be extended and disenfranchisement of African Americans could continue a pace. So now, imo it's just more code. It's code for the status quo of power relations and the disenfranchisement and marginalization of blacks, latinos, etc. So I don't think the goal is colorblindness. I think we should discard the concept.
I would prefer it tremendously if we could acknowledge and accept the differences we all have, recognize that there is not a particular combination of characteristics that is more desirable than any other, and get on with the difficult business of treating each other like fellow human beings.
I hope that's not unbearably idealistic.

Many people are not even aware that they have subconscious opinions which give rise to making associations/assumptions. As an example: my parents, when seeing interviews of black politicians, movie starts or athletes would always comment on whether or not the person was articulate.
The first assumption was that it was "bad" if the person "sounded black" and "good" if the person "sounded white." The second assumption was that they needed to comment - as if it were a surprise that a black person could be, in their estimate, articulate. A third assumption was that they thought their comments were compliments.
And you know what? I'm sure there are even more assumptions that I'm missing. Which is, of course, my point.
It's not just racism - this embodies all forms of discrimination, which in turn makes discrimination so hard to eradicate. Because even people who try to not discriminate and work to increase their awareness are probably still, at some level, discriminating.
My guiding principle in life is to always be learning and to always increase my awareness of other people and the world around me. I think this is what separates progressives from others. We tend to see multiple sides to every story and can try to extract from experiences that which will help us learn and increase our awareness. Many people, I think, are afraid to do that, because it can mean admitting that you were wrong.

I think basically everything you said in this essay is true. But I also think it misses something important, in that being marginalized fucks you up. Makes you crazy. Breaks your heart. So when someone says "could you please pick up that pencil" the response is "fuck you". I agree with the observations about history and implicit priviledge, but in the end it's always a real person right there.
And when someone who has been driven over the freakin' edge of "proper" behavior by their lives steps outside the bounds, there is no one specific response (re NL's other diary on this topic, which I just read) which will suffice. Because everyone, everyone, has to learn to manage the chip on their own shoulder. And if one is a decent human being, one will help them do that -- right then, as a person. By being present. By being clear about where one is acting as a representative of an organization or a set of rules, and where one is acting as a human being.
Maybe this is just an angry tranny thing -- I see people destroyed by their anger, their just, earned, suffered for anger. So that's the issue that shouts to me, reading this, as much as the specifics of racism (though I agree with Armando, here). As things go further to hell, we are _all_ going to be increasingly on the outside, looking in. Misery and rage will catch in all our throats. And then what do we do with it? How do we treat each other? Ourselves?

Again, the more we discuss this the more I am asking the question of why we respond the way we do when we are called racists. What it is that enables some folks to see past the hurt of it and others to not be able to get past it.
I think if we understood that better, we'd also be able to deal better with fighting racism both in ourselves and others.
I wrote last Friday's essay about this, how being the victim of racism entails far more concrete damage than being accused of racism. I'll have to think more about this.
If I had thought that I might be shunned ostracized and ridiculed for admitting that I have had inherent racist thoughts, feelings, and perhaps have made racist comments, I doubt I would have said anything. The context that I felt comfortable discussing my feelings was not the highly charged diary where there was name calling and yelling. It was a conversation that started out civil. That's not to say it didn't delve into more difficult feelings and emotions but the approach was a tone in which one could feel comfortable exploring this topic. Maybe true learning (Change?) is a bit like the grieving process; steps and stages.
I think it's most difficult for those of us who consider ourselves liberal, progressive, democrats to accept our cultural biases, certain pre-judgments, or ethnocentric views as potentially problematic. It seemed to me that I wanted to jump ahead of the curve and forego the painful growth process that self examination can be and just be a "WE'RE ALL ONE" believer. It takes courage, support and maturity to get there, not just slogans, demonstrations, and boycotts. I wish I knew in my young adulthood what I am coming to know now.
Thanks to all you great dharmaniacs!! Now lets all get funkalicious with a man who's been fighting these good fights for many years and continues to find the higher ground.
Nice blog. I will keep reading. Please take the time to visit my blog about College scholarships

Q: NSURLCredential-credentialForTrust vs username:password I am new with iOS and https stuffs. I am a beginning software student. I want to write an app that extract the data (such as class number, announcements, etc) from my uni account and show me on my app.
Normally, I go to my uni student page, login with my username and password, and those information showed up on the browser.
I've tried using NSURLConnection and its delegate. please look at my code below. In the beginning, in the method connection:didReceviveAuthenticationChallenge, I created an NSURLCredential object by [NSURLCredential withUser:password:persistence]. And it was not working. Then I tried to do NSLog, then i just found out that the protectionSpace.authenticationMethod is NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust.
Then, I tried to read Apple's document and some googled sources. But, I can't really get it, and then I edited my code as you seen below (it is my final edition, and its still not working).
The point that i don't really get is: I expect that the server should ask me for my username and password. Instead of that, it asked for credentialForTrust, which based on those documents I've read, they suggest me to evaluate the trust of NSURLConnection delegate against the server. However, the server never asked for username and password. so, how can the server know which account I am accessing.
So, i think it should be some relationship between that certificate(trust) with username and password. I don't really understand how these things work.
I think, my question might not be really clear or something, and it might be foolish. I accept this because I've never learned all these things.
So, please someones explain me of how these things work. You can assume that I have some basic understanding of what is https, SSL, NSURLConnection, NSURLCredential, etc. and please guide me to the solution.
I am appreciate for all your efforts.
Below is my code, (it's not working).
The NSLog() in connection:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge, print out "NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust"
- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace
{
    return YES;
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
    NSLog(@"authenticationMethod is:  %@\n",challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod);
    if ([challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust]){
          [challenge.sender useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
    }else{
            NSURLCredential *creden = [[NSURLCredential alloc] initWithUser:myusername password:mypassword persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
            [[challenge sender] useCredential:creden forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
    }
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@"didFailWithError:  %@\n  %@\n",
          [error localizedDescription],
          [[error userInfo] objectForKey:NSURLErrorFailingURLStringErrorKey]);
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
     [self.myData appendData:data];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
    [self.myData setLength:0];
}

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
     NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:self.myData    encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"Data in String %@", str);
}

A: NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust challenges occur when the URL Loading system doesn't trust the server. If you want to avoid those calls, make sure that iOS trusts your server's cert (by installing it manually , or having a trusted root like Verisign sign it).

* `TcpSocketWriter` now uses a `BlockingCollection` instead of a `ConcurrentQueue` internally, resulting in signficantly less CPU utilization.

### Minor changes

* Added xunit.runner as a dependency.

## Version 1.0

* Add support for logging via TCP.
* Fix behavior of TraceListeners. Now they write to the network on every invocation of Write or WriteLine
  and no longer try to insert timestamps.

## Version 0.8 (beta)

* Initial release.
