[. . .] Additionally, the importance of theory is apparent because research does not place itself in a theoretical approach. Theory also offers substantial interpretive map of the territory it aims to explain. Into the bargain, theory also makes it possible to make various observations from productive links (McLeod, 2003, p. 179).
11) What are the conclusions of McLeod in relation to the critical issues of counseling research?
McLeod (2003) recognizes there are significant issues that may challenge counselors who conduct counseling research. However, he suggests that counseling research occupies an important role in the service of practice. Additionally, it is hard to predict how perfect counseling research may look like. Owing to the fact that counseling and psychotherapy are disciplinary processes that borrow from diverse disciplines, each of which provides different, but valuable concepts and research methods, it does not fall short of challenges. Therefore, readers of counseling research must realize that issues will always arise because different studies have different expressions and languages (McLeod, 2003, p.8).
12) What is the paradigm of the practitioner scientist?
The notion of paradigm is central to the work of Kuhn. A paradigm is a generally or universally recognized accomplishment, which offers model problems and subsequently offers solutions to a community of practitioners. Paradigms are models that assist scientists to know in which frameworks they operate. In addition, a scientific paradigm may comprise the whole apparatus or web knowledge employed by the members of a scientific community. The paradigm for this case is one that offers training (Crotty, 2005, p. 34-36).
13) What is the paradigm of the scientist's practitioner?
The concept of paradigms has successfully found its way and applied to the complex human systems. Additionally, as the knowledge of paradigms can only happen through training scientists within various societies, much of the knowledge of the "normal scientist" is complicated. Therefore, the scientist's practitioner paradigm is a model or approach that seeks to identify the motivations behind particular behaviors that are apparent by observing common-sense behaviors (Crotty, 2005, p. 34-36).
14) What are the steps of the scientific process?
The scientific method involves some steps that help in investigating an occurrence or any given research problem. However, as one advances in science, it is probable that one will come across many various ways of describing the scientific method. Although various versions will provide different steps, they all use a common basic process. Question is the first step where one identifies the problem. Research is the step where the investigator spends time observing and gathers data that may help in solving the question. Hypothesis is the stage where the investigator uses their critical thinking skills to offer an answer to the question.
In the experiment stage, the investigator provides a procedure to test the hypothesis, and the investigator will require to list materials used. In the fifth stage analyze, the investigator will look back the collected data and modify it if it is necessary. In the conclusion stage is where the investigator makes a statement in whether the experiment supports the hypotheses earlier developed. In the final stage communicate; the investigator will present their research to other people through pictures, videos and any other method (Hauser, 2009, p. 9).
Ethics are important when carrying out any research. Before undertaking any research, it is significant to stick to an ethical code of practice because research will involve people. The investigator will have to tell the participants the motive of research and ask for their permission. In addition, the investigator should debrief the participants at the end of research by telling them the purpose of the investigation and give them a chance to answer questions. The investigator will also ensure the participants' safety especially from shame, fright or physical harm. Another significant thing is to ensure confidentiality for participants and information obtained. In case the investigator needs to conceal some information, the deception rate should be very little, and should not result to any anguish. In addition, the investigator must make the participant's aware of their right to stop taking part in the study. Therefore, the participants must know of their right to withdraw from providing assistance in the study (Hauser, 2009, p. 49-52).
16) What are the six steps for evaluating research from Houser's perspective?
a) Does the investigator provide a sufficient rationale for conducting the research?
b) So what? On the other hand, what significance will the study provide in counseling or education fields?
c) Is the research detailed and inclusive?
d) Does the investigator express any potential partiality in the study?
e) Are all significant concepts well defined by the investigator?
f) Does the investigator clearly explain prior techniques that are significant to understand the intention of conducting the research?
2. The second question is: is it possible to identify the conducted study based on the purpose statement?
3. Thirdly, the purpose statement should identify the variables of interest and verify whether there is a clear identification of a research question.
4. The fourth guideline is central to the population of interest, whether the purpose statement identifies the population.
19).What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative research?
Qualitative and quantitative researches are the major categories of research. However, there are several differences between qualitative and quantitative research. Quantitative research has a close alignment with the classical scientific paradigm. It involves collecting absolute data such as numerical data, to allow for examination in unbiased manner. In addition, there are numerous principles that go along with this type of research, which assist in promoting neutrality. Additionally, quantitative research comes later in the research study after understanding the scope of the study (McLeod, 2003, p. 72-73).
On the other hand, qualitative research is subjective, whereby, the research allows investigators to introduce their bias to assist then form a complete picture. This type of research is necessary in cases where the research problem is not clear and the investigator has the responsibility to determine the appropriate data. While quantitative research the investigator knows the research problem, in qualitative research the objective of the study may become evident as time passes (McLeod, 2003, p. 72-73).

You can see the error in Xcode 7 below. It provides no additional information on how to resolve it.
After much digging, I found this is actually related to my test target of my app.
Deleting those entries in my older project then removed the warning. I did not have to make any changes to the other target.


Newly updated for 2019 with all the new laws and taxes.
They say its one of the most stressful things in life, and it shouldn't be! Buying a property is bad enough when you speak the language and understand the system. Very few people know just how tricky buying property in Italy can be. There are loads of books, mainly about people who have been through the process once or twice and want to pay for their restorations by telling others how to do it. Unfortunately, it's no guide to being accurate. Add to this the perennially changing law in Italy, and you need a book that isnt out of date by the time you reach the cashier. That's where Buying in Italy fills the gap. Written by a professional, and updated free of charge for two years after you buy it, you will be able to keep abreast of the changes in the Italian property market, and have a sound grasp of the system.
Visure, Catasto, Underdeclaration, Destinazione Urbanistica, Planning law, Dealing with estate agents, Illegal agents, Your rights, Buying to restore, Buying to build, Buying off plan, New build, Vincoli, The compromesso, the act of rogito, Notaios, Geometras, Architects, Prelazione, transcription, Caparra, Useful sites, Bank accounts, codice fiscale, Sicily, Prima Casa, Residence, in short – everything you need to know about buying in Italy.
Buying a property abroad can be difficult. It is always best to use a legal, experienced estate agent when buying in Italy. In the south, especially, there are many people operating illegally, who cannot offer the expertise and knowledge of a legal estate agent. We cannot emphasise enough the inherent dangers of buying through an illegal agent – from fines to ending up without a house you have paid for. Just because a website is in English does not mean that they are selling property legally. If you want to buy a house or buy a property in Italy, the most important choice you make is who you buy through. A consultant, a property specialist, or a buyers agent is not a legally operating estate agency and is not recognised by Italian law.

When we viewed the blighting effects of divorce... and became convicted that we and others had spoken all too glibly about "Scriptural grounds for divorce" without any very careful study... we set ourselves to discover the truth.
In understanding these scriptures, it is important to understand who Paul is addressing, and also when he is giving commands of the Lord, and when he is giving counsel. The context makes so much difference in meaning, whatever the language.

Q: Rails: Calling Common Method to Edit Various Model Field I want to create a simple method for initializing different counter fields for users.  However, I'm not sure how to set the value of a field referred to as a variable.
def self.initialize(user, field)
  counter = "#{field}".to_sym
  user.send(counter, nil)
  user.save
end

I tried:

*

*user.counter instead of user.send(counter), but it comes back with an undefined method error

*user.send(counter) = nil, but that's not the correct syntax

A: Ruby's accessors work using the name= method for an attribute called name.
You can probably access it this way through the model attributes interface:
user[counter] = nil
user.save

Alternatively, a more generic way that should work on any Ruby object that exposes an attr_writer, attr_accessor, or equivalent:
user.send("#{counter}=", nil)
user.save

You'd only use the send version when dealing with arbitrary method names, like you have here. Converting to_sym is not strictly necessary.
Always be careful to white-list the kinds of method calls you're accepting. You shouldn't let counter be an arbitrary user parameter without some validation.

Jon Kiriakou: Libby Knew Plame Was Covert
May 12, 2010 /54 Comments/in CIA Leak Case /by emptywheel
Jason Leopold has a long article and videotape of an interview with Jon Kiriakou that you should check out in full. I'll discuss their conversation about Abu Zubaydah's torture (and, more interestingly, Kiriakou's knowledge about who Abu Zubaydah is) later. But I wanted to look more closely at Kiriakou's description of a June 10, 2003 meeting at which (Kiriakou says) Scooter Libby made it clear that he knew of Plame's identity.
Kiriakou said he was the "note taker" at this meeting, which took place on June 10, 2003, when I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, "entered the room furious, putting on a big show, arms flailing around, swearing and demanding to know why nobody at the CIA told him that Valerie Plame was married to Joe Wilson."
Kiriakou said it was clear to him that when Libby "entered the room" on June 10, 2003, he had already known that Plame was an undercover operative.
Now, it always pays to approach Kiriakou's statements with some skepticism. And his description certainly doesn't accord with what Grenier testified to at the Libby trial. But for the moment, let's look at what Kiriakou's description would mean for the chronology of the week of June 8, 2003.
After a break of several weeks after Nicholas Kristof first reported Joe Wilson's allegations, the allegations returned again on June 8, 2003, when George Stephanopolous asked Condi Rice about the allegations. Apparently first thing on the following day, June 9, 2003, President Bush expressed to Libby in some way his concern about the allegations. And that seems to have been what set OVP into overdrive trying to learn about the source of the allegations. Later that same afternoon, John Hannah had already completed a briefing for Cheney on the issue.
According to Kiriakou's story, Libby had his furious outburst on June 10. That would probably mean it happened at the 12:45 NSC DC [Deputies Committee] meeting, four hours before Kiriakou wrote his email requesting more information. Though note, the content of the Kiriakou email we have–which asks for very specific information for John McLaughlin in anticipation of a meeting with Cheney the following day and doesn't mention the meeting itself–doesn't match the description he gave Jason:
After Libby's outburst, Kiriakou said he "went back to headquarters and I wrote an email to all of the executive assistants of all the top leaders in the agency saying, this meeting took place, Libby is furious, we believe that he was conveying a message from the vice president. I wanted to know when did we know that Valerie was married to Joe Wilson, sent it around, nobody ever responded to my email."
That says, if Kiriakou's narrative is correct, Libby probably learned of the tie between Plame and Wilson between June 9 and June 10, if not earlier. Which might explain why the date on Libby's note record learning of Plame's tie to Wilson appears to be written over. One possibility, for example, is that the note originally read June 9, not June 12.
This is where Kiriakou's story begins to conflict with Robert Grenier's and Marc Grossman's. Marc Grossman testified he told Libby, probably at a DC meeting on June 11 or 12, that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA (based on the INR memo). And Grenier testified that Libby asked him for information on a phone call on June 11, at which point, Grenier claimed, he "had never heard of [Wilson's trip] before." Both claims would be false if Libby had blown up in the June 10 meeting.
Now, both Grossman and Grenier's testimony is problematic on a number of other levels, so we can't use their testimony to dismiss Kiriakou's story out of hand.
But Kiriakou's story is interesting for two reasons. First, Cheney claimed the following in his interview with Patrick Fitzgerald:
The Vice President also had no recollection of discussing this matter at a meeting on 6/10/03 he attended with Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George Tenet and CIA Counter Proliferation Division Manager [redacted]
When asked about the Administrations efforts to research Wilsons mission, the Vice President advised that around the time of the initial media reports, exact date not recalled, he spoke to DCI Tenet directly on the secure telephone line (MLP) from his office
[redacted; snip]
Vice President Cheney believed that all of this discussion occurred during a single telephone convseration that he had with DCI Tenet. The Vice President described the tone of his conversation with DCI Tenet as cordial, however, he had a sense that the DCI was defensive and embarrassed about the issue and had not known what was going on with regards to this mission. The Vice President based this latter assertion on the tone and temperament used by the DCI in the conversation, which was uncharacteristic for Tenet.
The Vice President cannot recall if he mentioned the content of his conversation with DCI Tenet to Libby, but he stated that if would have shared it with anyone, it would have been Libby. He probably would not have shared this information with Cathie Martin or anyone else from the OVP staff.
That is, Cheney claims he learned of Plame's identity not at a meeting with Tenet and Plame's boss on June 10, the same day Libby allegedly blew up at a Deputies Committee meeting, but on a phone conversation that–at least in the unredacted interview report–lacks a date. Of course, if it came up at that meeting with Tenet and Plame's boss, it might be more likely to include Plame's name and covert status.
Then there's the phone call to Grenier on June 11. As I have noted before, the call to Grenier (the first he ever received from Libby, Grenier testified) was almost certainly not a request for new information, but a request that would have elicited information that Libby and Cheney already knew, but which Martin did not know.
But we know that Libby called Robert Grenier for more information at 1:15 PM that day—precisely halfway into the meeting. Presuming the calendar is accurate, Libby called Robert Grenier in the presence of Cheney and Martin, looking for information he likely already knew (from Grossman and almost certainly from Cheney).
That is, regardless of whether or not Kiriakou's story is true, Libby and Cheney were almost certainly trying to get someone from the CIA to tell their press person what they already knew about Plame (but, at least according to Martin's testimony, that she didn't know they knew). Libby and Cheney were trying to get CIA to tell their press person information so she could pass it onto journalists (notably, Walter Pincus, who had an active request in with OVP for information). And, in fact, that ploy worked; either that day or the next Bill Harlow passed on the Plame information to Martin, though she claims that she never passed it onto reporters.
But consider how this story changes if, the day before this ploy, Libby stormed into a meeting bitching that CIA never told him that Plame was married to Joe Wilson. While that would mean Grenier's testimony is incorrect on a number of levels, it would add one more level of duplicity on Libby's part, given that he effectively had already made it clear that Grenier knew who Plame was before he called for information on June 11.
In any case, at the very least the story means that someone–in addition to Scooter Libby–is lying (though if it's Kiriakou, thanks to the work of now-Criminal Division head Lanny Breuer, he didn't do so under oath). But given the number of things that happened on June 10, 2003, Kiriakou's story does add an interesting wrinkle.

JThomason says:
I love the illustrations of the "amended" notes. They say so much about the nature of "executive" license.
BoxTurtle says:
I'm not sure this adds to the list of known liars in the Plame affair.
Boxturtle (The only two not proven liars would be the Judge and Fitz)
klynn says:
Why this story now? What's coming out that Kiriakou has to add a wrinkle? What would be coming out in an investigation that would impact Plame?
Someone from Durham investigation giving up info that leads back to Plame?
emptywheel says:
I suspect it's just that someone who covers torture who ALSO happened to cover Plame did the interview.
That almost read as, "someone who actually thought about what kinds of questions to ask instead of lifting them from Drudge…"
Basically, I feel for Kirakou bc there is a lot of detail on lots of different fronts that he might not have been prepared for at all in those tense times (I haven't watched the video, just read the story, and thought the comment from Grenier to Kirakou, that Kirakou didn't understand how serious it all was, was telling).
I've never followed the nitty gritty on some of the detail, but if you did have Bush "raising" a concern on the 9th and Libby steamrolling in on the 10th and Cheney saying he made a secure call to Tenet sometime undated – here's what I wonder about. Is it likely/possible that Libby came out of meeting on the 9th, told Cheney and somehow in the Cheney follow up that day, the President is again involved?
If so, it would line up some things on Bush's crim defense lawyer, on how far Grenier was willing to go on muddying waters, on Gernier's prior perceived belief (per Kirakou) that no one was going to use the info, etc. IOW, if Cheney's response is to get with Tenet AND Bush and Grenier is pulled in and gives the info for what he might have thought was a Tenet update for Bush (or for Bush/Cheney) it might explain why everyone was so nervous about laundering the info later, even though the laundering would show CIA giving the info to Cheney's office as well. IOW, if Cheney chews on Tenet that the President is upset and wants to know, and Tenet gets the info to Cheney, then Cheney takes it to Bush and gets the same Bush, "get it out there" input that we know was given on the NIE cherrypicks, there's now a lot of incentive for everyone to go through so many contortions to keep the President's name out of it.
Mary, with all due respect, the claim that Bush's "get it out there" pertained to the NIE (particularly the claim that it pertained primarily to the NIE) is one made by a convicted perjurer in the face of contradictory evidence.
That said, I think it likely that Bush was in the loop. At the very least his July 10 "P is okay with this" in the context of such leaks suggests he was on board.
Jesterfox says:
Not the gated community that we hoped for…
readerOfTeaLeaves says:
p. 274 (hardback), Scott McClellan's "What Happened: Inside the White House and Washington's Culture of Deception" (2008), offers evidence.
April 6, 2006, Bush was taking off from Charlotte, NC.
And ABC News correspondent Geoff Morell had yelled a question at Bush, asking about that day's news of a court filing by Fitz (related to the trial of Scooter Libby and to the leak of the NIE).
Bush asked his aides what Morrell had been hollering.
Dan Bartlett and Scott McClellan had boarded the plane behind Bush.
McClellan told Bush, "[Morrell] asserted you authorized the leak of part of the NIE".
Bush said, "Yeah, I did." Bush didn't seem to want to discuss it further.
Perhaps I'm losing brain cells, but I thought that leaking part of the NIE was Bush's tactic for enabling himself to claim that he was not dealing with classified information. And he did that to evade legal charges for Plame.
Maybe I need a refresher…?
As for Jason's work, I'll have to catch up later but I sure admire the hell out of his persistence (!).
I suppose obsequious subservience at that level of power is what expected, the law be damned. If opportunity were greater then the minions would not be so desperate for approval.
The oil is still flowing freely into the Gulf, Saudi Arabia is an ally, W is in retirement in a gated community and BHO has doubled down on Cheney's executive theories. The irony is that economic depression is a toxic environment for radical change. We will have to await some economic exuberance for the ideals of Western Democratic Liberalism to find wide-spread traction once again.
What if they did? The SoL has expired on every possible crime related to Plame, unless someone was killed that I'm not aware of.
They got away with it. Drink your koolaid and look forward!
Boxturtle (If only Plame's code name was something like "Interrigator #1", she'd get more respect)
TheOracle says:
We will probably never know if someone died following the Bush/Cheney administration's outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson as long as the CIA's after-incident damage assessment report remains under White House lock and key, or maybe filed away in Dick Cheney's man-sized OVP safe (which he no doubt took with him).
If no damage to our national security had occurred (or deaths), then this after-incident CIA damage assessment report would have been released long ago by the Bush/Cheney administration with the statement "no harm, no foul." On the other hand, since this report has been buried as deep as Bush's missing Texas Air National Guard records, every indication is that damage (and probably deaths of some of her covert contacts overseas) did occur when Valerie Plame Wilson's cover was blown.
JasonLeopold says:
Marcy, I remain in awe at the way in which you connect every dot and your memory of all of these dates and who said what to who and when. Your post from June 2007 was incredibly helpful to me. Thank you so much for highlighting this here and pushing the story forward.
Thanks–more thanks to you, though, for getting this on film.
DWBartoo says:
Amazing interview, Jason.
My profound thanks, to you and to John Kiriakou.
BooRadley says:
Jason, thank you so much for the excellent reporting.
Thanks so much for your interview Jason. Great work.
Jason, did you seek him out for the interview?
Are you using this interview to set groundwork for upcoming investigations?
Jeff Kaye says:
That was one hell of an interview, Jason. I was as much interested in the AZ portions as anything else, and look forward to reading Marcy's take. I think he was quite weak on the issue of AZ's possible mental illness. Conflating mental illness with schizophrenia and/or mental retardation is quite naive, from a psychological standpoint. The only possible diagnosis hanging over his case, based on the presentation of different personalities, is Dissociated Identity Disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. A person with such a disorder can present as quite intelligent, and be quite comprehensible. —
Kiriakou presents AZ as a kind of terrorist poet maudit, writing poetry and playing with narrative point of view, as he jumps from terrace to roof, fleeing CIA and ISI. That's quite as remarkably fictional as the portrayal of AZ as a mastermind supreme. By the by, the most surprised, and even angry, Kiriakou seemed was when you showed him that the government was not now claiming AZ had knowledge of 9/11. "That's not what we were told," he said, and looked stung.
One other piece of psychological naivete not related to this story concerns Omar Khadr. As I left a comment for Spencer, the five week break for a psychological evaluation is absurd. A week would be more than enough. The government is playing for time (trying to negotiate a deal? playing around with witnesses?).
Thought Joe and Valerie Plame Wilson said that Marcy Wheeler knew more about the case, dates, etc than they did.
" Libby, former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, "entered the room furious, putting on a big show, arms flailing around, swearing and demanding to know why nobody at the CIA told him that Valerie Plame was married to Joe Wilson."
PUTTING ON A BIG SHOW. Had the opportunity to attend about 8 days of the trial. Stood outside everyday to watch Libby, wife etc arrive. Felt like I was watching people who felt like they were Hollywood stars (and in my book who gives a rats ass about Hollywood stars). As they would have the door held for them as they got out of their shiny black SUV Libby would pose make sure the cameras caught the right angles. Wife would flip her hair, pose. It was actually pathetic. As Valerie Plame indicated in her interview with Bill Maher. Cheney, Libby, Rove etc are traitors. What they did was treasonous.
1. Will the investigation/report into what the Bush administrations outing of Plame cost o U.S. National security?
2. Will we ever know if other undercover CIA agents were killed?
3. Several articles over at Antiwar.com that came out about Plame's alleged work in regard to Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program
4. Was John Hannah given immunity?

Sneak preview of the movie about Wilson & Plame. LINK.
Faster is slower. ;)
My eyes and ears are failing. But the Plame movie premiere may answer the timing question. Sorry Fatster.
Listening to the interview now and I'm struck by what K says about what AZ told him on the last days before he was taken off to the torture site. K says that AZ opened up then and indicated that he (AZ) did know in advance about 911. But later, at around 15 mins in, when they go to the gov filing where gov does not contend AZ had any advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks.
K responds with a big, "That's interesting to me" and given the earlier bit I expected him to say something like, "well, AZ told me right before he was shipped to the black site that he DID have advance knowledge"
Instead he follows his that's interesting to me, with "bc that's certainly not the information that we had been given in 2002"
non-sequitor, but I wonder if he ever thinks of the kid they sent on to Syria and who hasn't been heard of since and who provided the info that AZ was NOT a top AQ operative – the info that no one wanted to hear at the time.
bmaz says:
"Yes, of course, I think of him all the time after all of our personal interaction"
"Well, not really, as I never saw the kid, I was only told about him by others who may or may not have been there themselves"
How bad is this – I'm not even sure if you're yanking my chain or if listening to Bloomberg and K at the same time I'm on the phone and sending emails made me miss those parts. *g*
I was yanking, but it would be classic Kiriakou.
eCAHNomics says:
Well, duh. What better demonstration project could you find than to out a CIA agent who was being troublesome. Shut the others up PDQ.
So what are the running odds on who gave him the field promotion to make up for Jose being a jerk, who gave him the hot tip on how to handle his book, whether those were the same guy, whether either or both have a name that starts with B.
*g*
Cameron just tried to one up Obama, claiming that no government in history has been left with such a disaster as the one that he has inherited.

Citizen emptywheel and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:
Isn't it about time to just round up anyone who was employed by the executive branch of government between the years 2001-2009, strip them of their citizenship, confiscate all their assets and render them to a Somali warlord and let him sort 'em all out? Then send Pat Fitzgerald to the floor of the US Senate to ask "Who's next?".
The entire story must be told but our legal system and political system are completely corrupt so how about an independent film and premire it in Cannes…oh it's comin' out this week!
Sorry Sister Marcy but the system you have put so much faith in and given so much of your life to is a sham and a shame…I'm just amazed that the rest of the world hasn't quarantined us or worse.
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WARS STUPID!!!
Kinda sorta related –
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/05/12/bond-asleep-intel/
Holder and Brennan have given a closed door briefing on why they are sure that the Pakistani Taliban are behind the fertilizer bomb. Apparently Kit Bond finally has developed skepticism. Or maybe sleeping sickness. One of those. He "emerged from the briefing unconvinced" but, otoh "[o]ne person who was in the room for Tuesday's intelligence briefing said Bond appeared to fall asleep for 10 to 15 minutes"
For the "you couldn't make this stuff up" file – Bond accuses Holder of engaging in a "hostile takeover" of the intelligence community.
bobschacht says:
And then DiFi emerged from the same meeting echoing the Holder line, with Kit Bond standing right next to her.
Well, its good to see Republicans showing skepticism about a security briefing, even if they are 9 years late.

Hmmm says:
Bond accuses Holder of engaging in a "hostile takeover" of the intelligence community.
Now that's interesting. Anyone have a hunch what ol' Kitty Boo might be referring to here?
pdaly says:
Ooh, my favorite puzzle story is back.
Glad to hear more, as always.
Which might explain why the date on Libby's note record learning of Plame's tie to Wilson appears to be written over. One possibility, for example, is that the note originally read June 9, not June 12.
I relooked at that Libby note (PDF) GX-104 dated 6/"~12″/03 in which Libby also writes "CP/ <- his wife works in that div'n".
I thought the amount of space between the slashes suggests a double digit in the middle position, instead of a single digit, such as '9'. The bottom of the handwritten '1' has an upward hook that mimicks the upward hook at the bottom of the original number overwritten by the '2.' Also at the bottom of the first date slash there is a similar upward hook.
If Libby had written originally 6/11/03, was there any advantage to their cover story to pretend subsequently that the date was 6/12/03?
Not knowing WH/OVP protocol, what prevented Libby from rewriting the card entirely to fix his mistakes, whether the card was written contemporaneously or even weeks after the fact?
cregan says:
I too like your attention to detail and the way you sort and attempt to sort various issues out.
However, in this case, I must be missing something. I do not see how someone saying he was mad that no one told him Valarie Plame was married to Joe Wilson says anything about knowing she was some sort of covert agent.
In addition, it seems the person making this claim was only speculating. I don't see anything in the reference which states why he was convinced Libby knew.
He doesn't say WHY it was clear.
Aside from that, as you know, I think this is much ado about nothing. First of all, as far as I know, Fitzgerald specified someone else as the leaker. Even if Libby was the leaker, no one has every been able to point to any concrete evidence of anything the Novak column–not even really based on any leak. Lots of indignation and emotion, but nothing that really says anything.
I have never heard Valarie Plame say anything like, "I was right in the middle of something, or I was about to go back into undercover operations," or anything. Likely because none of those things were true.
Aside from that, Joe Wilson admitted, as I have said before, on the Dec. 5, 2003 Meet the Press that yes indeed, the commerce minister said that Iraq had contacted them and he could not think of any reason for the attempted contact except to discuss uranium. That is not "I found nothing."
But, really, as we know, when someone from the right side touches on a covert agent it is a dastardly act sure to cause terrible results. When someone from the left touches on a covert agent, it is an act of unselfish heroism, sure to advance the cause of freedom.
You are in the wrong place to be pitching that fucking Republican wingnut horseshit.
I'd like to see some evidence.
Here's the evidence I see–with my own eyes.
I taped the Meet the Press show of Dec. 5, 2003, as I tivo Meet the Press each week. I ran it though, the Wilson section, 3 or 4 times. I'm pretty certain was I saw. AND, it took Russert a LOT of pressing to finally get Wilson to admit it. He danced and danced, but Russert wouldn't give up. I consider Russert the best political interviewer ever, or close if not the best. Each thing I mentioned in my first post came out of Wilson's mouth. Not something someone wrote or speculated, etc.
That counts a lot more with me than an analysis.
I see lots of consternation from the left about Plame. Along with reasons why it was OK from the GOP and right.
I see lots of praise from the left for the Adams project which puts real covert agents at risk. And, you have to realize that it is not proven that ALL of these pictured agents did any torture or were involved in some other sort of interrogation. There is probability they are, but it is not certain and for sure not certain all of them were. Now, I sees lots of reasons why the left thinks this is OK, and I am sure, just as the right does, they believe their justifications are good.
Each side always can think of some way to show their way of looking at it is different from the other sides. Lawyers do this in court all the time when arguing cases. But, we're not in a court arguing cases.
The end result from each type of outing is the same, high risk to the agent. Only in the Adams case, we know for certain without any doubt whatsoever these guys are covert in real time.
Aside from that, I wasn't meaning to argue the whole deal over again.
I was looking for what proof or solid evidence JK had for saying it was "clear" Libby knew. The post doesn't mention it, and I didn't see any thing in subsequent posts.
Rayne says:
Read the book.
Read the entire Libby trial liveblog coverage.
Add the two years of research up to the trial.
And then compare it to your quaint little Tivo'd recording.
Come back after you're done.
Your boy Russert was a hack, too; if you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd realize that during the Libby trial, the one covered in person by a certain nearby blogger, it was revealed that Russert was popular with Cheney because ol' Pumpkinhead was very good about carrying water and not so good on actually doing investigative reporting.
newtonusr says:
Come sit by me, Rayne.
Together, we can watch while people wander the minefield of countering Marcy Wheeler about the outing of Valerie Plame, and virtually every salient detail surrounding the matter.
We can eat popcorn and laugh like Hell.
Ugh. I'd probably laugh this pesky [insert descriptor] off if I could eat popcorn.
But seriously, what kind of [insert descriptor] would think that the woman who gathered and compiled the eight-plus timelines linked at this site wouldn't have exhaustively cataloged everything Plame, would think that watching MTP would crack the case?
Oy. I have to go and have a slug of herbal tea and hit the hay. I'll leave you to snicker at the [insert descriptor]. It's late and it's not worth my time.
If you're so good at evidence, you'll remember where OVP boasted that they get to set Tim Russert's agenda, right?
As to the John Adams project, you undermine your point yourself. Aside from details you don't know about how the photos were presented to detainees, that's the point: no one but the detainees know whether these people were the torturers. So the JAP people are not making such an allegation. Furthermore, if the torturers are at risk, it is because their bad tradecraft outed themselves, not because Joe Biden or his chief of staff outed them. No one took classified information and used it to expose them, unlike what happened with Plame.
I'm going to agree with bmaz. I don't recall your name being among the frequent readers/commenters at either The Next Hurrah or at Firedoglake as we went through and hashed this all out in great detail, following Marcy's lead.
Even the Wilson/Plames would agree that the person who knows this case the best, inside and out, top to bottom and back, is Marcy.
You would do well not to jump into this without having your triple A-plus game on.
I mean really, who cares that Plame was in charge of a group tracking Iranian nukes. The same Iran that now seems to be causing a problem with… nukes. Whhhhhhhat a coinkydink.
That whole concept that maybe BushCheney and their neocon cabal drummed up bogus WMD stories, and were somehow interrupted having double-triple agent-sorta-kinda-neocon-except-he-works-for-Iran-actually Ahmad Chalabi planting bogus WMD in Iraq after the war started, so that it could be 'found' by US troops. That's almost certainly what they were doing. Until, perhaps an FBI or some other group stumbled on them planting the WMD?
Shorter, the world now has an Iran nuke problem.
The whole fookin' world has that problem.
And the person charged with tracking Iranian nukes back about 7 years ago was 'outed' by a US OVP's Chief of Staff, and by Bush's right hand guy Rove. Which means that any person who has ever operated in an organization of more than 5 people can reasonably guess that Cheney and Bush knew what was going on, ordered it, but for reasons that are too finely-diced for me to follow or explain, got away with their asses intact.
Is "Sealed vs Sealed" still quietly in the background?
No, actually FItz showed a great deal of circumstantial evidence that Cheney ordered Libby to leak Plame's identity to Judy, which is what he did. So the people who were shown to have intentionally leaked Plame's identity were Cheney and Libby. And that's well before you get into the meeting between Libby and Novak they hid for years.
To clarify, the Nigerian minister is the one who said that HE could not think of any reason for the Iraq contact other than to discuss uranium.
The Republicans are continuing to cover their bases on the Plame issue. On a Tennessee Football Forum of all places I read a long diatribe this morning describing how Cheney had to act to depoliticize the intelligence community because of the infusion of liberal interests there Clinton had accomplished citing both Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson.
It really wasn't out of the blue though. A poster had commented that hiring a WAC football coach with a losing record whose father had won a national championship was like promoting an idiot governor to the presidency whose father had been president. O/T I hope Dooley fairs better than Bush. Its a shame that the sniveling obsequious lying that infused Bush's agenda became so prevalent. We are seeing the fruits of this no-personal-honor-deregulate at-all-costs-agenda in the coal mining and oil disasters. This behavior is a hallmark of the Enron economics Bush loved. Even Obama's reactionary conservative tilt is understandable because in the status quo would be swept away in the sea change of any viable economic recovery.
Cregan you are late to the party here. These are just pretty weeds. The heavy lifting has been done on the "cloud over the Vice-President."
beleck says:
anyone who tries to cover up for the traitors who outed a spy is indeed part and parcel of what is wrong with America today. treason is still treason whether done by the left or the right.
Bush's cabal will live in infamy, if you want to join that crowd, be my guest.
klynn @33 I did seek him out and I knew he was coming through LA to discuss his book so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk to him about some of the statements he made about Zubaydah and I was really curious about the date of the CIA cable he said he read that showed Zubaydah was waterboarded and why he thought he was subjected to waterboarding before August. Also, I heard he had been privately making comments about the diaries and claiming that it wasn't evidence he was mentally unstable. Basically, I was also curious about what he found in the house during the raid. It is part of this larger story I have been working on for what seems like forever.
also, thanks to everyone for taking the time to read the story/watch the interview. I realize it was lengthy on both fronts and appreciate that you all took the time to slog through it.
Jeff, thanks so much for weighing in. I love your analysis re: Kiriakou's take on AZ's mental state and your description of how Kiriakou views AZ. He seems intent on saying they weren't really "diaries" even though that's what the government calls them in their own documents. And I sensed that he was upset with the FBI for, according to him, leaking the info to Suskind. Also, it didn't occur to me during the interview to say this but I bdont believe anyone ever said AZ was retarded.
Citizen92 says:
From Jason's article:
Kiriakou was present at a "Deputies Committee" meeting where officials from the departments of State, Defense (DoD) and the CIA were in attendance.
For the office of the vice president "it was Libby. For CIA it was Grenier [who was standing in for Deputy CIA Director John McLaughlin]. For DoD it was [Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul] Wolfowitz. For State, to the best of my recollection, it was the guy who was Undersecretary for Political Affairs [Marc Grossman]" because Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was out of town.
Any significance in Wolfowitz' presence at this relevation?
This also sounds like a fairly selective accounting of the Deputies attendees. I thought both Deputies as well as Principals Committees were chaired by the NSC, but no mention of them. And the President's staff?
As for Scooter Libby's schedule — thanks for the reminders of their obtuseness… "Meetings with Dr. Rice" … "Meetings with Secretary Card"
And hahaha, so funny, on that schedule the 6:00 Strategery Meeting, hahaha.
Libby "putting on a big show"
Listening to the interview. Jason you really stayed on the "actionable intelligence" claim. Sure does not add up when Kirakou claims that he found out that the cable that he had read that AZ had cracked after one waterboarding/torture session and that he had given them "actionable intelligence" Why would Kirakou believe one part of that cable and not the other after he found out that AZ had been waterboarded/TORTURED so many times and had not "cracked" after one waterboarding. All of this is so f—–g creepy, illegal, and immoral.
One thing that gave me a bit of hope about the CIA was when Kirakou said that "there were a lot of people who were really disturbed by this enhanced interrogation program" "not happy"
But what did any of the CIA agents do when they "were really disturbed by this enhanced interrogation program" TORTURE. Sounds like nothing. Nothing at all.
How many times did Libby and Cheney visit Langley during this period?

Cities of Joondalup and Wanneoro set dates for electors AGM
Tyler BrownJoondalup Times
THE cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo will hold their annual general meetings of electors next week.
Joondalup will hold its electors AGM on Tuesday, December 4.
It will start at 5.30pm in the council chamber at the Joondalup Civic Centre, before the council briefing scheduled for 6.30pm.
The agenda will include the presentation of the 2017-18 Annual Report, which the council unanimously accepted at last week's council meeting, before residents can address the council and move motions.
At last year's AGM, a resident asked if the City would consider holding future AGMs at 7pm because 5.30pm made it difficult to attend "given people are still working, or commuting from work or attending to family arrangements".
Mayor Albert Jacob said the request would be considered for the 2018 meeting.
A council document stated the AGM had been held at 5.30pm before a council briefing in 2014 and 2016 and before a council meeting in 2013, 2015 and 2017, which had "resulted in an improved elector turnout compared to previous years".
"For this reason, it is recommended the meeting continue to be held at 5.30pm immediately prior to the scheduled briefing session," it said.
Wanneroo will hold its electors AGM from 6.30pm on Monday, December 3 at the civic centre on Dundebar Road.

As the owner and manager of a 2,000 unit housing portfolio, the Housing Authority of New Haven faces the on-going challenge of cleaning, repairing, and painting vacated dwelling units so they can be reoccupied in a timely fashion.
Some of the units require minor repairs, while others have been significantly damaged by fire, water, and vandalism. Coordination with the property management arm of the organization is also important so that materials and products installed as part of a construction project are consistent with those used by maintenance staff. In order to reduce the time during which a dwelling unit is vacant and to facilitate on-going maintenance, the Authority commissioned a Master Vacancy Renovation Specification for its townhouse-type units. This document contains specific products required to be used system-wide, addresses the special requirements of the codes and standards applicable to the site and the organization, and includes procedures that contractors and vendors must follow. The electronic files are designed to be edited by in-house technical staff or out-sourced architects. A summary product list and binder of product data sheets allows property management staff to review the standard selections and provide feedback on product performance and to easily provide technical information to maintenance staff and vendors. The standard specification incorporates the need for durability, long-term performance, and green building features.

6.6: Cloning: Current Perspectives and Discussions

6: Research Writing in The Academic Disciplines
Cloning: A Historical Investigation
Cloning: Signs of Paradigm Shifts
Since I am not a scientist, my interest in the subject of cloning is triggered by an article on stem cell research that I read recently in the popular magazine Scientific American. I know that stem cell research is a controversial subject, related to the subject of human cloning. My interest in stem cell research was further provoked by the impassioned speech made by Ron Regan, the son of the late President Ronald Regan, at the Democratic Party's National Convention in the summer of 2004. Regan was trying to make a case for more stem cell research by arguing that it could have helped hid father who had died of Alzheimer's disease.
I conducted a quick search of my university library using the key words "human cloning." The search turned up eighty-seven book titles that told me that the topic is fairly important for the academic community as well as for the general public. I noticed that the most recent book on cloning in my library's collection was published this year while the oldest one appeared in 1978. There seemed to be an explosion of interest in the topic beginning in the 1990s with the majority of the titles appearing between then and 2004.
Next, I decided to search two online databases, which are also accessible from my university library's website. I was interested in both scientific and legal aspects of cloning, so I searched the health science database PubMed (my search turns up 2549 results). Next, I search the database LexisNexis Congressional that gave me access to legislative documents related to human cloning. This search left me with over a hundred documents.
I was able to find many more articles on human cloning in popular magazines and newspapers. By reading across these publications, I would probably be able to get a decent idea about the current state of the debate on cloning.
Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996 by British scientists and died in 2003. According to the website Science Museum (www.sciencemuseum.org.uk), "Dolly the sheep became a scientific sensation when her birth was announced in 1997. Her relatively early death in February 2003 fuels the debate about the ethics of cloning research and the long-term health of clones."
I am tempted to start my search with Dolly because it was her birth that brought the issue of cloning to broad public's attention. But then I recall the homunculus—a "test tube" human being that medieval alchemists often claimed to have created. It appears that my search into the history of cloning debate will have to go back much further than 1996 when Dolly was cloned.
Living in the 21st century, I am skeptical towards alchemists' claims about creating a homunculus out of a bad of bones, skin, and hair. Their stories may have been believable in the middle-ages, though, and may have represented the current paradigm of thinking about the possibility of creating living organisms is a lab. So, I turned to Dolly in an attempt to investigate what the paradigm of thinking about cloning was in the second half of the 1990s and how the scientific community and the general public received the news of Dolly's birth. Therefore, I went back to my university library's web page and searched the databases for articles on Dolly and cloning published within two years of Dolly's birth in 1996.
After looking through several publications, both from scientific and popular periodicals, I sense excitement, surprise, skepticism, and a little concern about the future implications of our ability to close living creatures. Writing for The Sunday Times, in 1998, Steve Connor says that Dolly would undergo texts to prove that she is, indeed, the clone of her mother. In his article, Connor uses such words as "reportedly" which indicates skepticism (The Sunday Times, Feb 8, 1998, p. 9).
In a New Scientist article published in January 1998, Philip Cohen writes that in the future scientists are likely to establish human cloning techniques. Cohen is worried that human cloning would create numerous scientific, ethical, and legal problems. (New Scientist, Jan 17, 1998 v157 n2117 p. 4(2))
Let's now fast-forward to 2003 and 2004. Surprisingly, at the top of the page of search results are the news that the British biotech company whose employees cloned Dolly. Does this mean that cloning is dead, though? Far from it! My research shows debates about legal and ethical aspects of cloning. The ability of scientists to clone living organisms is not in doubt anymore. By now, political and ideological groups have added their agendas and their voices to the cloning and stem cell research debate, and the US Congress has enacted legislation regulating stem cell research in the US. The current paradigm of discussions of human cloning and the related subject of stem cell research is not only scientific but also political, ethical, legal, and ideological in nature.
The historical study project as well as my illustration of how such an investigation could be completed should illustrate two things. Firstly, if you believe that something about human cloning or any other topic worth investigating is an undisputable fact, chances are that some years ago in was "only" someone's opinion, or, in Kuhn's words, an "anomaly" which the current system of beliefs and the available research methods could not explain. Secondly, academic and social attitudes towards any subject of discussion and debate are formed and changed gradually over time. Both internal, discipline specific factors, and external, social ones, contribute to this change. Such internal factors include the availability of new, more accurate research techniques or equipment. The external factors include, but are not limited to, the general cultural and political climate in the country and in the world. Academic research and academic discussions are, therefore, rhetorical phenomena which are tightly connected not only to the state of an academic discipline at any given time, but also to the state of society as a whole and to the interests, beliefs, and convictions of its members.

Cornell Claims the Spoils at Senior Classic
Adam Cornell has saved his best for last , claiming a one shot win in the NSW Senior Classic today at Avondale Golf Club.
The Royal Sydney gun carded one of the rounds of the day – an excellent one over 73 around testing Avondale layout to add to his back-to-back rounds of 77 at The Lakes and The Australian Golf Clubs.
Port Macquarie's David Bagust, in second place overnight, added a third successive 76 to keep second place, while second round leader, Dunheved's John Fearnley, had a day he most likely would like to forget, finishing with an 83.
Fearnley Leads By Five
Shoalhaven Heads Ian Asbury finished fourth outright at 17 over, while four golfers, Russell Rogers, Warren Gorton, Robert Smythe and Craig Green rounded out the top five at plus 19.
The day, however, belonged to Cornell, who was thrilled to collect his first win in the senior ranks after reaching the qualifying ager a little over two years ago.
"I hung in there. I hit a few greens today, had a couple of difficult putts and avoided the trees. Sort of kept my head together.
"This a great tournament, I really enjoyed it,," he smiled.
The win guarantees Cornell a start in the Lincoln Place NSW Senior Open. Runner up David Bagust has also secured his place in the open, to be held at Thurgoon Golf & Country Club in late October.

Q: java.net.SocketTimeoutException in WebService client after migration from WildFly8 / jdk8 to WildFly14 / jdk11 Like https://docs.wildfly.org/14/Developer_Guide.html tells, I configured the timeout of my WebService client using the code below:
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout", timeoutInMs);
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout", timeoutInMs);

This worked fine, as long my WebService client ran on a WildFly8 using jdk8. Since I migrated it to WildFly14/jdk11 this solution does not work anymore. I tried out several Map-keys like:
BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT
BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT

"com.sun.xml.ws.connect.timeout"
"com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout"

"com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout"
"com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout"

Also, setting system properties "sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout" and "sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout" did not do the job.
I always get "java.net.SocketTimeoutException" after 1 minute.
I'm about to give up.
Does anybody have any idea?
Regards, Robert

A: I found a working solution:
Soap: Set TimeOut using WSDL2Java
So, in my example, the working code is:
final Client cl = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
final HTTPConduit httpConduit = (HTTPConduit) cl.getConduit();
final HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(timeoutInMs);
httpClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout(timeoutInMs);
httpConduit.setClient(httpClientPolicy);

All needed libraries I found in found in the modules of my WildFly14 installation:
system/layers/base/org/apache/cxf/impl/main/
system/layers/base/org/apache/cxf/main/
system/layers/base/javax/xml/ws/api/main/
system/layers/base/org/jboss/ws/tools/common/main/

Grantee Spotlight: Early Childhood Alliance of Onondaga County
March 11, 2021 Grantee Spotlight
This spotlight first appeared in the Health Foundation's 2020 Annual Report.
All children deserve the same opportunities to have a healthy, strong start to life. That's why the Health Foundation continues to support programs and projects that improve the lives and health of young children impacted by poverty. We are proud to be a part of several programs and projects that are making a difference for children and families in western and central New York, even in the face of COVID-19-related obstacles.
Launched in 2015 after a citizen-driven study revealed the importance of providing children the opportunities to "thrive by five," the Early Childhood Alliance is a coalition of stakeholders dedicated to the success of all young children in school and life. The ECA provides a wide array of support to the families of young children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to establish healthy, nurturing environments in which their children can thrive.
The ECA was one of 13 organizations to receive a grant as part of phase three of Co-Creating Well-Being, a Health Foundation program aimed at developing and testing new approaches to trauma-informed care for children using a human-centered design approach.
Participating in CCWB helped the ECA develop a program called THRIVE that gives parents the opportunity to take the lead in their lives and in their communities through peer-to-peer support groups. These groups aim to address isolation, mental health needs and a variety of other issues related to toxic stress and trauma. THRIVE includes a Parent Advisory Committee made up of participating families to ensure the inclusion of participant input, based on the notion, "How do you know what we need if you don't ask us?"
"We really want families to believe in this program and fully participate in it," says Gina Iliev, Director of Family & Community Initiatives. "It's quicker for families to share information with each other as opposed to having an agency lecture them. The program provides a mechanism for family members to train to become peer support specialists themselves, working side by side with other specialists and coordinators."
The program gives families a voice and helps rebalance power back to the community. "We want to serve as a model on how to work with the community instead of displaying a trickle-down power approach," says Gina.
"No one chooses to be in poverty, and these issues need to be fixed."

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised a record $11.6 million last month, more than the House Democrats' campaign arm has ever raised in any February — even in an election year.
It will officially be spring at 5:58 PM ET. Goodbye, winter.

In an effort repair damaged Factory/Dealer relations, Chrysler LLC announced that it will resume its policy of reimbursing dealerships to fill a new car customer's vehicle with fuel at the time of delivery.
Chrysler suspended the fuel fill reimbursement plan several years ago during a wave of cost-cutting efforts. Many dealers had complained that this was just another example of Chrysler's "cost-shifting" to the dealers.
The policy change is scheduled to take place on March 1, 2008.
It's about time. Your date is wrong, March 1st, 2008. It's the little things that really get under a dealer's skin, and this is one of them. Glad it is back.
I remember when they took this program away - dealers were hot about the amount of "cost-shifting" that Chrysler was doing in an effort to cut their losses and generate profits.
Thanks for correcting the date - I don't know what I was thinking when I typed 2009?


Barry Kogan manages Wave Hill's Forest Project Summer Collaborative (FPSC), a six-week, paid summer internship for teens that has been working to improve the ecology of the Bronx since 1980.
On Friday, December 28, we held a reunion for alumni of the Forest Project Summer Collaborative. Every year we look forward to seeing as many alumni as possible during the winter holidays. This year was no exception, and we had a great showing of about 20 people. Most were from recent summers, but thanks to two of our favorite Forest Project veterans―Paulina and Nadilyn―there was representation from over 7 summers of Forest Project.
In keeping with Forest Project tradition, the day featured a pot luck lunch, a walk through the Forest Project work sites and a game of Mafia (a Forest Project favorite). We started our time together by enjoying the amazing culinary treats that everyone contributed. The spread really showed off Forest Project participants' diverse palates and cultures. Highlights of this epic meal included jerk chicken, mac and cheese, chana saag, macaroni salad, Russian cutlets, empanadas, Vietnamese pancakes and pulled pork―a formidable showing from around the globe. Deserts included homemade cookies and brownies. Everything was exceedingly delicious.
Once everyone had arrived and much of the food had been eaten, we had a roundtable discussion with everyone sharing their news. I opened the discussion by describing some exciting new projects that Wave Hill's Education Department is working on, followed by a reminder that the summer 2013 application is up on our website. (Hint, hint to last summer's Environmental Science Interns!) Other wonderful news: one of last summer's interns has been awarded a full scholarship to University of Southern California, one of our crew leader is starting a new job teaching social justice to high school students in the Bronx and a former intern is set to begin studying abroad in Berlin.
After sharing each other's news, the group went on a short hike through the Herbert & Hyonja Abrons Woodlands. Being able to take the time to appreciate all the hard work of past summer crews was great. Winter is the time to assess how well our trail work and efforts at erosion control are standing up. The verdict: pretty well!
We finished the day with an epic game of mafia: the three mafia members played a perfect game, defeating all the townspeople, one at a time.
All in all, it was an excellent day, and it was so nice to see everyone. Now I am set to begin recruiting next summer's cohort.
Reading through old issues of the New Yorker Magazine, I came across a story about elementary school students visiting Wave Hill for Sugar Camp. Great to see your education programs going strong. The New Yorker, April 12, 1982, pg 37.

How much does it cost to rent a SUP, jetskis, kayaks etc?
Hi, what perks do Globalists receive when we stay with you? Thanks!
I am sorry I can not answer charchar 3 's question. That information would have to come from the office at Spirit Ridge. Therefore you do best by contacting them.
How are the Cabanas at the pool? Are they stocked with anything? I called a few times but no one at the front desk knows. One said there is beverage and snacks. Another did not know they had Cabanas. Lol What furniture is in there. Fridge TV??
Good day. The cabanas come with some bottled water and a few small snacks stored in a fridge at the cabana. They are furnished but there is no television inside of them. The price is $35 per half day (so $70) for the full day.
Is the resort on walking distance of the lake? Can my kids (17 and 12) go there by themselves? Or do we need the car?
Hello. Yes it is with in walking distance. About 10-12 minutes down hill or 20 minutes back up. There is a shuttle service as well. But I would definitely have your kids with an adult. You may also want to check on when you are coming as there is still debris right now from the high lake water levels we experienced in May.

Sr. Bernetta Stuhrenberg
August 1, 1928 - September 6, 2021
Sr. Bernetta Stuhrenberg, age 93 of the Sisters of St. Francis in Oldenburg, Indiana, died on September 6, 2021 at the convent. Born as Clara Stuhrenberg on August 1, 1928, in Duncombe, Iowa to Mary (Nee: Naderman) and Henry Stuhrenberg, she was the fifth of seven children born into the family that included six girls and one boy. Wanting a Catholic education for their children, Sr. Bernetta's parents made the difficult decision to leave their productive farm in Iowa and relocate to Indiana where the family settled near Millhousen and became parishioners of Immaculate Conception parish, with the children attending the parish school. She would later graduate from Oldenburg Academy, Miller's Business College in Cincinnati and Marian University in Indianapolis. While Sr. Bernetta felt called to religious life, before committing, she explored several areas of employment but, experienced a restless longing for something more satisfying. At the time she was living in Cincinnati with her sister, Addie, who felt the same. Sr. Bernetta found her "something more" with the Oldenburg Franciscans, where one of her sisters, Sr. Margaret Mary, was already a member. Addie joined the Trappistines nuns in Massachusetts and the three sisters kept in contact as permitted during the ensuing years. On August 12, 1960, Sr. Bernetta made her final vows as a Franciscan. During her teaching career she taught all eight grades at St. Louis in Batesville; Holy Name in Indianapolis; St. Vincent in Vincennes, Indiana; St. Lawrence in Lawrenceburg, Indiana; St. Aloysius in Delhi, Ohio and St. James in White Oak, Ohio. Following the changes of Vatican II, she chose to pursue parish ministry and served at St. Catharine Parish in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood from 1976-1990. After that, she stayed in Cincinnati working two years in private home care and then became an aftercare specialist at Rebold Funeral Home from 1992-1999. She returned to Oldenburg in 1999 where she visited with patients at Margaret Mary Health and two area nursing homes while also ministering to the homebound in the area. Sr. Bernetta also volunteered in the Development Office and ministered to the infirmed sisters in St. Clare Hall at the convent. When asked about some of her favorite memories, she once noted, "While serving as a pastoral minister at St. Catharine's in Cincinnati, I began visiting church members, especially the homebound. At first, I had a dozen or more names on my list to visit, and 15 years later the list expanded to 125. Many volunteers were able to help. I felt needed and deeply appreciated. People seemed comfortable with me and it was a joyful moment when one or the other would reconnect with our parish." Survivors include her sister Rosemary Maschino and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by sisters Mary Ann Wenning, Sr. Margaret Mary Stuhrenberg OSF, Sr. Henriette (Addie) Stuhrenberg OCSO, Barbara Sandhage and brother Albert Stuhrenberg. Visitation is Tuesday, September 14th, from 1 – 3 p.m. at the convent chapel. Funeral services follow at 3 p.m. with Rev. Martin J. Sandhage officiating and burial in the convent cemetery. Guests who have been vaccinated are welcome to attend but masks are mandatory. For those unable to attend, services will be live-streamed at https://youtu.be/1DcBXVkWn28.

==WHAT IS the ESP32?== ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system-on-a-chip micro-controllers designed by [https://www.espressif.com/'''Espressif'''] in Shanghai, China. It has integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth radios. It has many of the capabilities of the Arduino and can be programmed with the Arduino IDE software and so is an easy upgrade path to wireless communications for Arduino users. See Wikipedia: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32 HERE] And for LOTS of information, ESP32.net [http://esp32.net HERE] The Espressif Discussion forum is [https://esp32.com HERE] AND See: [https://leanpub.com/kolban-ESP32 Neil Kolban's excellent book and ESP32 Guide] The ESP32 is an upgrade of the earlier ESP8266 and adds a faster dual-core processor and Bluetooth interface. On the left is a block diagram of the many features inside the ESP32. The ESP32 is usually seen as a metal-cased module (In the red rectangle in the section below) that is then placed on slightly larger boards with added components. The metal-cased product includes a crystal oscillator, a flash memory chip. capacitors etc. See the UNcased photo at right. The Metal-cased module has been approved by European and FCC testers. This is a major plus: it can be included in other new products without more testing. [[Image:Espressif ESP32 Chip Function Block Diagram.svg.png|left|900px]] [[Image:Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Module.jpg|360px]]
 ===ESP32 Boards we are testing=== (Both of these boards have 38 pins on 0.1 inch centers) If you Look-Closely-Now you will see the pinouts are the same. ==== - "ESP32 Dev Kit V2" ==== By Espressif, maker of the ESP32 Chips. About $15 [https://www.amazon.com/Espressif-ESP32-ESP32-DEVKITC-ESP-WROOM-32-soldered/dp/B01N0SB08Q/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538610629&sr=8-3-fkmr2&keywords=ESP32+Dev+Kit+V2 Amazon example] The pin-out diagram on the right shows the connections to the ESP pins, power, ground etc. Note there are two small pushbuttons labelled '''BOOT''' and '''EN''' [[Image:Esp32-devkitc-v2-functional-overview1.png|left|600px]] [[Image:Esp32 DevKit pinmap.png|600px]]
 ==== - nodeMCU-32S ==== By Ai-Thinker. About $12 [https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-ESP-WROOM-32-Development-Microcontroller-Integrated/dp/B0718T232Z/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538610629&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=ESP32+Dev+Kit+V2 Amazon Example]Usually received with firmware called nodeMCU which supports the LUA programming language as well as C++. [[Image:Nodemcu esp32.jpg|left|600px]] [[Image:NodeMCU-32S-Pinout.png|600px]]
 ===CONNECTING TO THE ESP32=== [[Image:2Breadboards.jpg|left|500px]] The ESP32 development boards have pins (19 pins each side, 0.1 inch spacing, 1.0 inch spacing between rows). This does not work for typical breadboards, but '''two''' breadboards can be used as in the photo on the left. The example here was used for testing many of the example sketches below. We are also working on a "Sensor Shield" which ESP32 would plug into and which would provide easy-to-use 3-pin connections for sensors and actuators.
 ===Installing "ESP32 Arduino" into the Arduino ISP=== You need to start with the latest Arduino IDE software. Go to the download page [https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software HERE] and scroll to '''Download the Arduino IDE'''. In the green box on the right, find your system. For Windows, use '''Windows Installer''' unless you have an earlier version and know how to just add the ZIP file. Run the installed Arduino IDE system to make sure it works.. Next you will install ESP32 capability into the Arduino environment. This installs board definitions, code libraries and much more, to allow you to program the ESP32 in the familiar Arduino ISP software. This is what we use to write and test the example sketches below. Here are the steps: '''''' At the top menu bar go to '''File''' and then '''Preferences'''. In the lower part of the screen you will see something like this: [[Image: AddlBoards.jpg|left|px819]]
 (I already had an entry for ESP8266, which you see here) But notice the square icon at far right. '''Click It''' Now you will get a pop-up that looks like this: [[Image: AddlBoardsPopup.jpg|left]]
 Add a line in the box (you can cut/paste) :  https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json  then click '''OK''' and back at Preferences again click '''OK''' You have told the Arduino IDE where to '''find''' the ESP32 information. '''Now''' you need to actually get it downloaded and installed. This will take quite a while, once you start. '''''' Have the Boards Manager get the ESP32 information and install it. At the top menu bar go to '''Tools''' then '''Board''' then '''Boards Manager''' You'll see a screen like this: [[Image: BoardsManager.jpg|left]]
 In the field "Filter Your Search" enter '''ESP32''' Now you should see the '''esp32 by Espressif Systems''' entry like this: [[Image: FindESP32.jpg|left]]
 Move you mouse down into it, and at the lower right click on '''Install'''. (Mine shows it already installed in the photo).. '''NOW''' watch the status bar at the lower edge of the box. Get coffee or Other: It will take quite a while. ===DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE ESP32 USB DRIVERS=== You probably do not have the USB drivers installed to support the CP2012 USB interface chip on your ESP32. Here's what to do: [[Image: CP2102.jpg|left|200px]] Look-Closely-Now at the small square USB interface chip next to the USB connector on your ESP32. (I need reading glasses!). It is probably a CP2102 like this:
 '''Get and Install the Drivers:''' [https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers HERE:] You need to pick the version for your version of Windows. For WIN7 pick the first (default) entry. Put the downloaded ZIP file in a new folder. UNZIP it there. Now there are two possibilities: '''''' You plug your ESP32 into a USB connection and Windows prompts you to install a driver 1. Use the dialog to browse for the driver location 2. Locate the driver folder (that you previously unzipped) 3. Follow the instructions '''''' Manual Install 1. Using Windows File Explorer, locate the driver folder (that you previously unzipped) 2. Determine if you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 3. Double click to run the .exe file named CP210xVCPInstaller_xnn.exe (where xnn is x64 for 64-bit and x86 is for 32-bit) 4. Follow the instructions That was not a lot of fun. But NOW the fun '''begins!''' ===CONNECTING YOUR ESP32 Module and TESTING IT=== You need a "Micro-USB" cable to run your ESP32. Make SURE it is a real USB data cable, not a charger-only cable. (I got burned-and-confused with that!) If you do not use a breadboard at this point, make sure the ESP32 will be on a non-conductive surface, like a magazine. Like MAKE, or The New Yorker, or Vermont Life, or any of those dumb catalogs that clog up your mailbox... Anyway, Plug the USB cable into your ESP32 and then into your computer's USB port. A Red LED should light up on your ESP32. That shows it is getting 5 Volt power over USB (An onboard regulator will provide 3.3V for the ESP32 chips). Now: Start the Arduino IDE and let's get things set up: '''''' Select your particular ESP32 board in the Arduino IDE. Click '''Tools''' then '''Board''' and you should see something like this: [[Image:SelectBoard.jpg|left|600px]]
 Select your board in the pulldown on the right. (You may have to scroll that section down). '''''' Select your PORT. Click '''Tools''' then '''Port:''' . You should see a new COM port, labelled COM4 or something. Select it. (Mine shows an Arduino also connected). [[Image: SelectPort.jpg]]
 '''''' Open a New sketch: (Highlight and remove any template lines so you have a blank sketch page). '''''' In the section below "ESP32 EXAMPLE SKETCHES" click on '''YourESP32 Sketch WIFI Scan''' . Copy and paste it into your blank IDE page. '''''' At the top, click the button labelled '''Verify''' At the bottom green area you should see: [[Image: Compiling.jpg]]
 After several seconds (or longer for the first compile) you should see: [[Image: DoneCompiling.jpg]]
 IF that's OK, now '''Upload''' your sketch! Click the Upload button: [[Image: Upload.jpg ]]
 After several seconds you should see a "Connecting" message: [[Image: Connect.jpg|left]]
 If all goes well, in a few seconds you show see this message: [[Image: DoneOK.jpg|left]]
 '''See the sketch work:''' The Scan Wifi sketch tells your ESP32 to activate it's WiFi radio and scan for any WiFi networks it can find. You will see the results on the '''Serial Monitor'''. At the upper right of the Arduino IDE screen you will see this: [[Image: SerMonitor.jpg]] CLICK IT
 A separate window will open. Look at the lower right and you will see a place to set the Baud Rate (Speed). Set it to 115200 as shown. [[Image:SerMonitorBaud.jpg]]
 NOW you should see data scrolling by on the Serial Monitor screen. In my log cabin in Vermont all it found was my local WiFi Router: [[Image:Scanning.jpg|left]]
 And... That's All For Tonight!! ===ESP32 EXAMPLE SKETCHES=== '''NOTE: Find all sketches with SEARCH on upper right. Search on "YourESP32 Sketch" ''' [[YourESP32 Sketch WIFI Scan]] [[YourESP32 Sketch SimpleBLINK]] [[YourESP32 Sketch NodeMCU32S SimpleBLINK]] This is specific to the nodeMCU-32S module with built-in LED [[YourESP32 Sketch Template TouchSensitivityTest]] [[YourESP32 Sketch TouchSensitiveLED]] [[YourESP32 Sketch 2LEDS PWM Opposite]] [[YourESP32 Sketch AnalogInput]] [[YourESP32 Sketch HallEffectSensor]] ===ESP32 Memory Size Questions=== (From compiling bare sketch with only setup and loop) Sketch uses 173740 bytes (13%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes. Global variables use 13272 bytes (4%) of dynamic memory, leaving 314408 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes. ===ESP32 Reference Publications=== [https://leanpub.com/kolban-ESP32 Neil Kolban's excellent book and ESP32 Guide] ===NOTE for Future USE=== Micro-USB jack: The micro USB jack is used to connect the ESP32 to our computer through a USB cable. It is used to program the ESP module as well as can be used for serial debugging as it supports serial communication EN Button: The EN button is the reset button of the ESP module. Pressing this button will reset the code running on the ESP module Boot Button: This button is used to upload the Program from Arduino to the ESP module. It has to be pressed after clicking on the upload icon on the Arduino IDE. When the Boot button is pressed along with the EN button, ESP enters into firmware uploading mode. Do not play with this mode unless you know what you are doing. Red LED: The Red LED on the board is used to indicate the power supply. It glows red when the board is powered. Blue LED: The Blue LED on the board is connected to the GPIO pin. It can be turned on or off through programming. In some Chinese cloned boards like mine, this led might also be in red colour. I/O pins: This is where major development has taken place. Unlike ESP8266, on ESP32 we can access all the I/O pin of the module through the break-out pins. These pins are capable of Digital Read/Write, Analog Read/Write, PWM, IIC, SPI, DAC and much more.
