The blueMarine project is about an open source workflow for digital photography.

What does it mean?

Start thinking of an opensource application like Aperture or Lightroom that enables you to organize, develop, print and publish your photos. Pretty standard stuff nowadays. Opensource, at first sight, means that the application is free. Now think of an application written with the Java language: the application runs everywhere, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows. Now think of a community of people that adds code, plugins, crazy ideas, integrating some of the latest, cool technologies around, such as GPS positioning or geo-mapping.

[sf-lug] SSL certificate termination

Raj Kumar Gurung grg350 at gmail.com
Wed Feb 13 08:07:31 PST 2008

Can same SSL certficate be used on two load balancers which are used for
redundancy? Currently have two load balancers and are configured for
redundancy to web clusters. I have one SSL cert and would like to terminate
it on both for domain xxx. I am not sure if it allows. If not, Do I need
another SSL certificate? If so when the client connects, then it will have
two SSL cert for the same domain xxx.
Any best practices or experiences? I am open to suggestions.

Pettis, DaSilva lead the way for Bisons this season
Garret Pettis
Garret Pettis

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

When comparing and contrasting the play of his top two goal scorers Lipscomb Bisons coach Charles Morrow uses a music analogy.

“Miguel DaSilva is like a piano player,” said Morrow. “Garret Pettis is a piano mover.”

Actually, Pettis plays both the ukulele and the guitar, but that’s another story.

This season Pettis, with a team-record setting 11 goals, and DaSilva with eight have been playing beautiful music with their feet for the Bisons. What Morrow means by his contrasting is that DaSilva uses his speed and quickness to elude the opposition’s defense. Pettis, 6-feet, 180 pounds, often uses a more direct approach by simply running over any defender in front of him.

“Miguel gets to balls he shouldn’t be able to get to,” said Morrow. “Garret has a good touch and can try to beat a defender with some skills, but he would just as soon run over you. There is nothing wrong with that.

“There is a physical aspect to the game that Garret brings that Miguel doesn’t necessarily bring. Garret is very opportunistic. He is better in the air than Miguel. Garret is strong and can hold his position in the air.”

They are two of the main reasons the Bisons are headed for their second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament appearance this week. The Bisons, the No. 3 seed with a 5-3-1 A-Sun record (9-8-2 overall) will practice Tuesday at Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C., the host school for the tournament.

Wednesday afternoon they will face No. 6-seeded Mercer (1-5-3, 2-10-5 overall) at 3 p.m. in the quarterfinals. If they win the Bisons will play again Thursday at 3 in the semifinals. Friday will be a day off with the championship game planned for Saturday.

“Miguel is very explosive and very fast,” said Morrow. “He is very tricky on the ball. He is going to create several chances a game. It doesn’t matter where Miguel is on the field the crowd starts to wonder what he is going to do now when he gets the ball.

“Garret can be very tricky on the ball as well. But when you look at Pettis he looks like a man, not like a freshman in college. He can mix it up physically. At this point he is more of a complementary player. He is not going to necessarily take on a whole team or outrun everybody. But he does finish his chances well.”

Last season Morrow predicted that DaSilva would probably have more assists than goals during his college career. At the time DaSilva was in the middle of a then record-setting season for goals, finishing with 10.

“I knew the amount of defensive pressure Miguel was going to draw,” said Morrow. “He is not a selfish player. This year he has ended up with a lot of assists.”

Teams keyed on DaSilva more this season, a decision that has hurt opponents as the Bisons have spread the goals around. Last season it was either DaSilva or former forward Ben Page doing most of the scoring. DaSilva has 10 assists this season, doubling the previous record set by Page. He also has a team record 26 points.

Pettis has an assist to go with his goals. He has 23 points, the second highest total in the history of the program.

The goals by Pettis have been somewhat of a surprise on all fronts. Morrow and assistant coach Kevin Burk saw Pettis play in a showcase at Disneyworld and liked what they saw.

“He reminded us a little bit of Ben Page,” said Morrow. “But he had this big robo-knee brace on and was coming off of an ACL.

“He was on the list, but he wasn’t high on our list. But the more we talked to coaches in the Pennsylvania area and sort of got a gauge of what was going on with him we found out Pettis should have been a top prospect.”

Morrow thought Pettis could have been a Big 10 or Atlantic Coast Conference recruit. But he had only competed in two major tournaments in his high school career. The lack of exposure hurt Pettis in the recruiting process even though Pennsylvania is known for top quality high school soccer.

“Most players usually compete in around 15 tournaments in high school,” said Morrow. “We felt fortunate to get him. We thought he was going to be better than what we saw. We just didn’t know what we were getting.”

They know now and they couldn’t be happier with what they have seen.

Strange. No problems putting %s in the content here..

Can you try one more time to be completely sure this problem is still
present? First, verify that you're running the latest and greatest.
'dpkg -l evolution-data-server' should give you version 1.10.1-2. Do
the same with libebook1.2-9 and libedata-book1.2-2. Evolution itself
should be version 2.10.1-2.

Try to add new entries with %s, and see if that works. If you have to
do anything else than trivially put %s in the Description field and
click the memo after, please describe that.

When I reported this, ONLY the mouse worked. There is no mouse play mode I am
aware of (might be a nice option, i.e. mouse-joystick).

Just started it up three times.
First time, press any KEY to start did work, steering did not.
Second  time, both worked, could control the penguin, escape to abort game,
all seemingly OK
Third time, press key to start worked after several tries, steering et al did
NO. Amazing, ALT-F4 WILL close the program, even if other keys have no

The fact that this is not always reproducible but recurs by me often enough
may indicate some startup problem? Odd.

Yes, but that's way too hard.

Sure? There was a demonstration when rsa key was recovered just by plotting variations on powerline of usb port
And what about cache attack?

By reflashing bios one can bypass all
tpm protections (don't say it's difficult because it's closed source and
so on. Look at all closed source obfuscations/pseudo-protections that
get cracked every day)
That's possible, but again I consider this not critical. BIOS itself
is checksummed and checked by the root of trust.
Isn't bios (or part of it) the root of "trust"

Personally if tpm support is merged into mainline grub2 I'll stop using
Because I don't want support this technology. TPM=obfuscation=unsecurity. And as an opensource and open security fan I can't claim to have solved an impossible problem. But if you want to use obfuscation schemes it's your right
Won't work.

For example, attacker can run everything inside a hypervisor and then
just dump memory and extract decryption keys. You have no reliable
ways to detect hypervisor from inside the running OS. You can pile
layers upon layers of integrity checks, but they are useless if
hardware itself is not trusted.  TPM allows me to establish this
You assume that noone will develop hypervisor able to fool tpm bios. One could powercut the tpm chip (similar to how a resistor is remove to avoid burning efuses in xbox) then power would be reestablished to it and bios would be executed on hypervisor which will retrieve the keys. Actually you can trust tpm only as much as you trust in obfuscation power of bios. Only obfuscation prevents attacker from disconnecting tpm and reading keys from it. And there are only few types of tpm. Sooner or later someone will figure their interface. Then it can be read by special usb adapter

Actually, I can probably even formally prove this assumption.

I really don't see you point. With my proposition mbr still can be verified by tpm but grub2 needs to know nothing about tpm as long as it ensures it doesn't load any unsigned modules. This approach is more versatile. It can be used also for e.g. checking that debian install is really from debian. And having experience with manufacturers supplying buggy hw and sw tend to avoid solutions directly relying on hardware when another implementation is possible Which collaboration other than not loading anything unchecked does your scheme need from grub?
From readme of trustedgrub the only thing it does is checking integrity
First advantage is that you can override it manually supplying grub password
Administrator can manually override TPM by supplying the decryption
key directly instead of fetching them from my key server.

[skipped because this scheme just won't work]

I personally would be interested in implementing security features in
grub2 as long as tpm stays away
Then that's a religion, not engineering.
Tell it what you want but I don't trust code that I can't verify. And tpm is root of obfuscation.

Normally, DEL does like backspace (!) in Emacs.  The delete key is
not the same as ascii 127 (DEL is another name for ascii 127).
Under X11, the delete key is known as itself, and on a tty the delete
key often sends an escape sequence such as ESC [ 3 ~ (on my system).

That's why people don't run into this problem.
This line is not blank.

Ok.  Now unfortunately, Guile has a number of functions that one would
expect to return SCM_UNSPECIFIED, but which return something else.
hashq-set!, set-object-property! and a few others.  So I need a nice way
to tell Lilypond to ignore a Scheme expression even though it looks like
it could be used as a valid Lilypond construct.  I considered
\call #(hashq-set! ...
but it is a bit misleading since the Scheme expression would be called
anyway.  There is also
\ignore #(hashq-set! ...
but it sounds a bit like nothing would happen.
\do #(hashq-set! ...
looks nice, but due to namespace pollution, it is already taken by
Guile, quite like \eval.

All in all, I can't think of anything better than \ignore.  An
alternative syntax like ##(...) or ##[...] seems a bit too sneaky to
me.  One other possibility would be \void.  It might look a bit nicer:

\void #(hashq-set! ...)
\void #(hashq-set! ...)

rather than

\ignore #(hashq-set! ...)
\ignore #(hashq-set! ...)

It's a bit C-ish, but not all that bad, and it fits with

We have a room allocated for an IA2 F2F at CSUN.  It's the Executive Suite
on the 18th floor of the Marriott.  The time is from 10 to 11 on Wednesday
the 12th.

Please let me know if you will be attending and if you have a topic you'd
like to discuss.  That will help me understand if space and time will be

Mick Curran indicated he'd like to talk about the IA2 proxy DLL and
windowless applications.  Mick's thoughts follow:

One that has been apparent to me for a long time is the issue of the
IAccessible2 client proxy DLL:  With IAccessible2's implementation in COM
depending on this DLL, it makes it impossible for a true portable solution
where both the AT and the app can be run portably off a USB flash drive or
CD etc.  A use case would be where a user has a usb key with Firefox and
Open Office etc, and also NVDA or another portable screen reader.  Another
example is the Mozilla Live Access CD that was given out at CSUN last
year.  If there was another one this year, it would be impossible to
provide IAccessible2 support in NVDA on that CD, and therefore it would be
quite pointless for NVDA to be included, as we mostly wish to show off
NVDA with Firefox3.

It may also be good to do a bit of hypothetical thinking, about a
possibility where IAccessible2 wants to be implemented in to a "windowless

It has been whispered around a bit that Mozilla Gecko 2 may become a
windowless implementation, where it would assumably have one top level
window, but nothing else. All the widgets would be  part of that one
window, or at least that is how I understand it.

If this were the case, it would become more important for IAccessible2 to
have methods that could allow the finding out of particular relationships
between any two objects (e.g. descendant of, before-in-tree,
after-in-tree, isEqual) etc. Currently a lot of this logic is possible as
there is still a window hierarchy.

p.s. More info on the proxy DLL is at
That article is a little incorrect as follows:
Noone has yet provided a version of the DLL to share.
Marcus von Appen provided files to build it on VS .NET 2003 and 2005.
Those files are attached to

I'll try that tonight.  I just went through the process of using the
HDHR config GUI application to figure out what channels it sees, and
matching up the corresponding XMLTV IDs.  So by deleting them will that
mess any of that up?  As long as I don't touch the Input Connections or

Holger is looking into the problem and trying to figure out why this is
happening and how to fix it. Your ability to reproduce the problem is
invaluable, as Holger can not observe this problem first-hand.

If you can make yourself available for further experiments as Holger
suggests that will help us understand this problem.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

Fwd: non-identifiable element in human-readable translations

From: Rigo Wenning <rigo@w3.org>

Subject: [Moderator Action] non-identifiable element in human-readable
Date: Friday 03 December 2004 17:52
From: Lorrie Cranor <lorrie@cs.cmu.edu>
To: 'public-p3p-spec' <public-p3p-spec@w3.org>

I have been talking to a company about their P3P policy and they have
raised some concerns about the IE6 and Netscape 7 human-readable
translation of their policy. Most of their concerns will be addressed
in future versions of these browsers if the P3P 1.1 guidelines are
followed. However, there is one concern that may not be fully addressed
by our guidelines, so we may want to tweak the guidelines a little.

The specific concern is that Netscape currently interprets the
non-identifiable element as: "No data is collected or no personally
identifiable data is collected by this web site." This company wants to
use the non-identifiable element in just one statement and does not
want to imply that it applies to their entire web site (as an aside, I
am discussing with them whether this is an accurate reflection of their
policies, I remain skeptical, but this remains a plausible use of the
non-identifiable element so we should deal with it).

In our P3P 1.1 draft, we suggest the following wording for
non-identifiable: We do not keep any information that could be used to
identify you  personally

The non-identifiable translation will be included within a statement,
so it might look something like this:

Browsing information

[ . . .]

Super secret information

- We do not keep any information that could be used to identify you

Other random information

[ . . .]

Is it obvious in the above example that the statement about not keeping
information applies only to super secret information? Or do we need to
change the wording to make this more clear? And if so... how? Note,
that this is more of a problem with the current Netscape wording and
the fact that Netscape does not currently include statement names.

Are there any other elements that raise similar scoping issues? I don't
think so, but we should look again.

Yes. And if the various constituencies are interested and as this is the

There are a number of checkpoints which are -vague- and thus require
a value judgment from the author _and_ from any evaluators.  There is
no way to "take at face value" a vague statement requiring a

A strict interpretation is not one that does not align with mine,
Charles.  I really wish you could lay off resorting to personal
attacks or things like it, and instead address what I say.

Let me say it again, so that you will see clearly what I am saying:

      Any "standard" which involves a subjective judgment is onerous
      because nobody can know for certainty if they have "satisfied"
      it, and therefore anyone else can accuse them of not having met
      the standard if they so choose.

Did we learn nothing from over a month of Florida vote-counting?  A
standard which is too vague as to be enforceable -- "the intent of
the voter", "when appropriate", etc. -- is subject to a huge variety
of interpretations and there is no fair way to resolve compliance
with such a "standard."

A "strict" interpretation is one which sets as high a bar as necessary
to disqualify a web site.  A "loose" interpretation is one which sets
as low a bar as necessary for a given site to achieve compliance.  The
fact that strict and loose vary is the _problem_.

What is not under debate are my own interpretations, as I didn't even
_give_ them, Charles.  I have no idea where you get off claiming that
I'm berating any interpretations which disagree with my own when I
haven't even shared any of _mine_, but instead identified points of
specific vagueness and the fact that vagueness results in checkpoints
which -cannot- be objectively satisfied.

Continue to insult me if you like -- you're just making my point about
anyone arguing for practicality and reasonableness being demonized as
some sort of "enemy" -- but at least admit that it is impossible to
simply "take at face value" checkpoints which require subjective

The quotation is from
and we can see that there's a sentence omitted in the midst of the
quotation, namely:
"The function of the character is to indicate that line breaks are not
allowed between the adjoining characters, except next to hard line
This is confirmed later in the text in a manner that looks rather
"The word joiner should be ignored in contexts other than word or line

Thus, Bundesࠌregierung would differ from Bundesregierung only by
disallowing a line break - at the most preferable point of division!

Indicating the internal structure of a word, such as its being a compound
word, would most logically belong to markup, not character level.
The practical reason for not wanting to deal with it at character level is
that even if the Unicode consortium would be willing to add such a
character (which it probably wouldn't), the process would take many years.

As a rule, empty elements indicate design flaws in markup language.
The logical markup would be something like

Please use anchors with identical name= and id= values for the

have no effect, looking in the source, it requires JavaScript :-(

For snippets the submitter must pick a DOCTYPE.  You then only
need a simple checkbox "add boilerplate to snippet corresponding
to the selected DOCTYPE".  No JavaScript needed, but a set of
different boilerplates for the various known document types.

If some boilerplates are missing it's no big problem, you can
report an error.

Opera is also the only _current_ browser to implement <![CDATA[ ]]> the

If they are that old, then they might not even support <embed>. ;-) Or

More on Datatypes

To: "'www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org'" <www-xml-schema-comments@w3.org>

It should be possible for a derived datatype to indicate that group
separators (commas) are not allowed and that parenthesis may not be used to
indicate negative numbers.  Basically, a schema author should be able to
restrict the allowable lexical representation so that it is compatible with
Standard C or FORTRAN conversion routines.

I don't think it is possible to have one datatype support multiple
locale-specific representation of numbers.  I'm not aware of any standard
manner for a processor to determine what locale the document was authored
for (which could be different than the locale of the current machine) and
the processor would not know if "1.000.000,00" is an error unless it knew
what locale the document was intended for.  If it was allowed, there should
be a mechanism to suppress localization.

However, it would be good to be able to produce locale-specific datatype
files and to produce locale-specific schemas by simply changing the URI
associated with a schemaAbbrev (A one line change vs a Global-Search and

One approach a document author could take on this is to use a strongly-typed
and fixed locale attribute to specify the value used accessed for
calculations and use an string typed element content for the presentation
form that could follow the locale of the intended reader.  I.e.

<value val="3.1415926">3,1415926</value>

The presence of the E and exponent should be optional (at least by default).
I think that the use of group separators and negative number format should
have the same default as decimal and integer, but could be made more or less
restrictive by additional elements in the lexicalRepresentation element.

Just to be clear, although I am indeed intrigued regarding the possibility
of encoding a SOAP request in a URI, probably in conjunction with an HTTP
GET, it probably would be at best only sometimes be the right thing to do.
 In other words, an alternate HTTP binding, or maybe an option on the core
binding.  Also:  I saw a discussion a few weeks ago among some URI experts
who pointed out that long URI's are somewhere between discouraged and
forbidden.  I think that's really too bad based on the (0, 1, arbitray)
view of limits, but there it is.  Anyway, encoded in the obvious manner,
SOAP requests are quite verbose.  If anyone really wants to pursue this
now, we should probably switch threads.  Thanks.

Top 10 Modern Prison Programs

It was not so long ago that prisoners were fed bread and water and chained up together during the day to perform hard labor. Some even say that we need a return to those days! Nowadays prisons are very different and a variety of programs (some rather strange) have been implemented as jail time moves away from punishment to rehabilitation. This is a selection of ten of those new programs.

Children in prison

2251494641 8Df45A2F96

In the early 1990s the Mexico City government decided it was better for children born in prison to stay with their mothers until they were 6 rather than to be turned over to relatives or foster parents. The children are allowed to leave on weekends and holidays to visit relatives. A debate continues among Mexican academics over whether spending one’s early years in a jail causes mental problems later in life, but for the moment the law says babies must stay with their mothers. In Ohio they are trying a program called The Achieving Baby Care Success program. It began in June 2001. The 12 mothers currently participating live in a special wing of the prison. The babies sleep in identical cribs in their mothers’ cells. Between prison roll calls, mothers take their children to the in-house nursery for scheduled activities.

Victim Offender Mediation

Img 0013 600

Victim-offender mediation, or VOM (also called victim-offender dialogue, victim-offender conferencing, victim-offender reconciliation, or restorative justice dialogue), is usually a face-to-face meeting, in the presence of a trained mediator, between the victim of a crime and the person who committed that crime. The victim gets to explain how they feel and felt, and what needs were not met as the result of the action of the offender. The offender is to repeat what he or she hears (i.e. feelings and needs) and continue to listen and repeat what the victim says she or he feels and needs. Usually this requires substantial support from the trained mediator to gain clarity about the feelings and needs and to request the offender to say these words back to the victim. Once the victim feels completely heard he or she is then ready to listen to what the offender feels and needs now and felt and needed at the time of the crime, and the victim, if he or she has been heard adequately will be ready to hear and reflect these feelings and needs back to the offender. Usually the session ends with a request from the victim to the offender, and from the offender back to the victim. The requests lead to a strategy for resolution. Pictured is the VOMA administrator Barbara Raye.

Boot camp for minors

In the 1980s, boot camps as alternatives to juvenile prisons came in style. New Orleans parish opened the first one in 1984; within a few years, there were several hundred in thirty-three states. Typically, those eligible were young non-violent offenders who were facing long prison terms. They could exchange a three-to-ten year term for thirty to 180 days in boot camp. The public liked the idea of boot camps as a wholesome, effective alternative to prison. State legislatures liked the millions of dollars that the camps saved in prison spending. Some camps offered job training and high school classes along with substance abuse treatment. The states called the camps “modern shock incarceration.” Almost immediately, thousands of stories of abuse and maltreatment began to circulate in the press. Over three dozen inmates died. One horrific case occurred in Florida on January 5, 2006. A boy named Martin Anderson died within the first three hours of admission to the Florida Bay County Sheriff’s Boot Camp. After Martin collapsed after failing to run a 1.5-mile lap.

Faith-based prison programs

As an unprecedented number of ex-offenders is expected to be released from the nation’s prisons in coming years, corrections officials are looking for innovative ways to increase the chance that fewer of them will return. Many officials have turned to religious programs that seek to change inmates’ internal motivations as well as external behaviors. The Bush administration has strongly supported such programs, as a key focus of its Faith-Based and Community Initiative, an effort to encourage religious charities and other nonprofits to provide social services. The biggest experiment in religious prison programs may be in Florida, which operates three “faith and character-based institutions” – entire prisons that provide religious programming aimed at rehabilitation. More commonly, programs are dedicated to units within a prison, or prisoners receive help from volunteer mentors coordinated by faith-based groups.

Dogs in jails

Inmates residing at the Shimane Asahi Shakai Fukki Sokushin Center (Shimane Asahi Social Rehabilitation Promotion Center) in Japan, will be participating in a program in which they will help train guide dogs for the blind, by having inmates raise the puppies with classes on dog-walking and obedience training. Similar programs are currently operating all over the United States, and these types of programs have been proven to reduce violence among inmates and foster a sense of responsibility.

Prison education programs

From literacy to GED preparation to vocational education programs, prisons have historically attempted to offer at least some basic education to inmates in prison. Skeptics claim that, in many cases, prison education produces nothing more than “better educated criminals”. However, many studies have shown significant decreases in recidivism. A study by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons found: “The more educational programs successfully completed for each six months confined, the lower the recidivism rate.”

Conjugal visits

Ye0423279 Wa

A conjugal visit is a scheduled extended visit during which an inmate of a prison is permitted to spend several hours or days in private, usually with a legal spouse. While the parties may engage in sexual intercourse, the generally recognized basis for permitting such a visit in modern times is to preserve family bonds and increase the chances of success for a prisoner’s eventual return to life outside prison. In the United States, inmates must meet certain requirements to qualify for this privilege, for example, no violation of the rules in the last six months, history of good behavior, and so on. Those imprisoned in medium or maximum security facilities and inmates on death row are not permitted conjugal visits. New York, California, Mississippi, Washington, Connecticut, and New Mexico are the only six states that currently allow conjugal visits. There are strict rules and requirements, from behavior to sexual orientation and disease status. France and Canada allow prisoners who have earned the right to a conjugal visit to stay in decorated home-like apartments during extended visits. In Brazil, male prisoners are eligible to be granted conjugal visits for both heterosexual and homosexual relationships, while women’s conjugal visits are tightly regulated, if granted at all.

Prison contemplative programs

Prison contemplative programs are classes or practices — including meditation, yoga, contemplative prayer or similar —that are offered at correctional institutions for inmates and prison staff. There are many stated benefits of these programs – such a stress relief for inmates and staff – and some measured and anecdotally reported benefits in studies. These programs are gaining in acceptance in North America and Europe but are not mainstream. These programs may be part of prison religious offerings and ministry or may be wholly secular. Of those sponsored by religious organizations some are presented in non-sectarian or in non-religious formats. Contemplative practices in prison date back at least to Pennsylvania prison reforms in the late 18th century and may have analogs in older correctional history. In North America, they have been sponsored by Eastern religious traditions, Christian groups, new spiritual movements such as the Scientology-related Criminon prison program, as well as interfaith groups. Pictured above are members of the Scientology cult prison program Criminon.

Drug treatment

Drug-dependant individuals are responsible for a disproportionately large percentage of violent crimes and property offenses, committing about half of all felonies in big U.S. cities. According to the National Institute of Justice’s Arrestee and Drug Abuse Monitoring report, roughly two-thirds of adults and more than half of juveniles arrested test positive for at least one illicit drug. A third of state prisoners and about 1 in 5 federal inmates said they committed their offenses while under the influence of drugs. Many of them turned to crime for money to support expensive drug habits. Three-quarters of chronic cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine users are arrested in the course of any given year, and only a quarter of these people received drug treatment in the past. Most return to drugs as soon as they complete their prison terms. In turn, drug abusers constitute half the people on probation and parole in America. Because so many drug addicts become involved with the criminal justice system — and take up a significant portion of America’s law-enforcement and corrections budget — prisons are a natural place to offer drug treatment. Studies prove that when people are forced into therapy, results are positive. Unfortunately, only a small proportion of inmates requesting drug treatment currently are helped. Without effective intervention, we are merely postponing the time when prisoners return to drugs and crime.

The Honor Program

600 Prison 1

The Honor Program, conceived by prisoners and non-custody staff at a prison in California has been operating since 2000. Based on the principle of incentivizing positive behavior and holding individuals accountable for their actions, the purpose of the Honor Program is to create an atmosphere of safety, respect, and cooperation, so that prisoners can do their time in peace, while working on specific self-improvement and rehabilitative goals and projects which benefit the community. Prisoners wishing to apply for the program must commit to abstinence from drugs, gangs, and violence, and must be willing to live and work with fellow prisoners of any race. In its first year of operations, there was an 88% decrease in incidents involving weapons and an 85% decrease in violent incidents overall on “A” Facility; the Honor Program saved the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) over $200,000 during the first year alone in costs related to the management of violent and disruptive behavior. In its six years of operation, it has saved the California taxpayers hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.

Northland Sheep Dairy

A Collaboration With Nature

By Alan Harman

Overseas travel can more than broaden the mindit can change career destinations. Maryrose Livingston knew she wanted to be a dairy farmer when as a nine-year-old she visited Ireland with her parents and saw a man milking a cow in County Cork.

Years later, still pursuing her dairy farming dream, Livingston and husband Donn Hewes traveled to Europe on a cheese-making research expedition.

As part of their hunt for knowledge they spent two months working for Mary Holbrook in Timsbury, England. Livingston recalls Holbrook was milking 200 ewes and 100 does and making really wonderful cheeses.

“I fell absolutely in love with the sheep there,” she says.

They had met pioneering dairy sheep farmers Karl and Jane North when they moved to New York as newlyweds in 1999 through the American Cheese Society and had visited the legendary Northland Sheep Dairy 30 miles east of Ithaca, New York, to get design ideas for their own cheesemaking facility.

At the time they owned a 90-acre farm where they planned a small, 100 percent grass-fed cow dairy.

The Norths had told them they were looking for a couple to go into partnership and eventually buy them out.

But Livingston and Hewes were still cow people and they “sort of laughed them off.”

England and Holbrook Farm changed all that.

“When Donn and I returned from that trip, we told Jane and Karl that we’d go into partnership with them if we could sell our farm, which we eventually did,” Livingston says.

After five years working with the Norths, they formally purchased the property in 2007.

“I haven’t been able to give dairy cows the time of day since I discovered sheep,” Livingston says. I am a complete convert, and I was known as someone who was really passionate about milking cows.”

She had started college at Michigan State University as a dairy science major, but dropped out after three years to follow her dream and become a herdsman on a dairy farm in Indiana. She moved to Washington State to finish college and worked as an environmental regulator to fund her farm dream.

Now Livingston is the shepherdess and cheesemaker, while Hewes works the farm with his team of draft horses and mules.

The Operation

The Northland farm covers 57 acres, but the couple also has a long-standing lease on 40 acres adjacent to them and a new “free lease” on 30 acres directly across the road.

“We are considering moving some of the grazing animals to other fields owned by some of our close neighbors,” Hewes says. “Grazing the animals on some of these little-used fields helps renovate those fields for future grazing or haymaking, and gives us more flexibility if we run into a drought year.”

What makes the farm really unusual is that draft horses and mules still rule and have not been deposed by tractors and other petroleum powered farm machinery.

The milking flock is typically about 40 ewes, although they want to get the numbers into the 4550 range in the near future.

“We raise all of our lambs and finish them for direct retail meat sales,” Livingston says.

The parlor holds six sheep on the milking platform.

“We milk with two claws, so we milk 2-2-2, then send the row out for the next six animals to come in,” Livingston says.

“We milk mechanically with a 2.5 horsepower motor running our refurbished vacuum pump. We have a pulsator on our five-gallon milking bucket, into which both claws run. Our pulsation runs at 120 pulses a minute and a 50:50 milk-to-rest ratio.”

They start the season milking twice a day on an interval of 10.5 hours and 13.5 hours.

“Late in the season, we go to once a day milking until the animals dry off,” Livingston says.

The sheep are crossbredor “mutts,” as Livingston affectionately calls them. They are predominantly Dorset-by-Texel-by-East Friesian crosses. There is also one purebred Icelandic ewe, one ewe with some Black Welsh Mountain and a young ram that is an Icelandic-by-Romney cross.

The number of grazing acres for the sheep varies, depending on the grass growth that year.

“Typically we devote 20 acres to the milking flock and 20 acres to the lamb flock, although that is not hard and fast,” Hewes says. “We have tried to build more flexibility into our grazing and haymaking operations so we never get caught short in a drought year (or an extremely rainy year).”

The pastures are all mixed grasses and legumes.

The couple like to frost seed Birdsfoot trefoil and some clover, usually white.

“We have done some test plots growing mangels for the animals in the winter, and some grazing brassicas to extend our fall grazing,” Hewes says. “These have all been very small scale trials and not something we have fully implemented.

“Our main feeding philosophy is that the sheep are 100 percent grass-fed, both the milking flock and the lamb (meat) flock. We have experimented with growing some small grains for our own consumptionwe grew wheat last yearand we’d like to grow some barley to feed the pigs we raise for ourselves each year.

“The horses and mules typically only eat pasture and hay as well, although they will sometimes get a handful of grain if we are feeding them some type of nutritional supplement.”

Getting It All Done

The farm is usually a two-person operation.

“We do, however, hire a seasonal apprentice,” Livingston says. “Donn loves to teach people how to drive horses and mules, and we usually need one more set of hands during haymaking season.

“There are those ‘perfect storm’ types of days in the summer when the sheep need to be milked, the hay needs to be baled, and the hay wagons unloaded into the hay mow all at the same time. Our seasonal apprentices are a great help during those times.

“I also love teaching people about sheep. I think they are just the most fun animals to be around. I don’t enjoy teaching cheesemaking, but I can talk your ear off about grazing and milking.”

Since they bought the farm there have been some changes.

“I have always been passionate about 100 percent grass-fed dairy, so we completed transitioning the flock to that status,” Livingston says. “We also love raising lambs, so we started keeping all of the lambs, rather than selling them off to a feeder, and raising and marketing 100 percent grass-fed lambs.

Hewes decided to make all of their hay rather than buying in the majority, so the couple spends a lot of their time making hay with draft horses and mules.

“I also wanted to produce ‘natural rind’ cheeses, so we built a cheese cave and began cave-aging all of our cheeses,” Livingston says. “We also began raising pigs and poultry (ducks) for home

consumption. The pigs are wonderful converters of our whey and produce really tasty, inexpensive pork because of that great feed source.

“We also institutionalized a yearly apprentice program here at the farm, which has given some great folks a good start for their farming careers.”

Quality, Health & Safety

The farm is not certified organic, but a progressive organization, the Northeast Organic Farming AssociationNew York, has an alternative to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s organic certification.

“We are signatory to what’s called the Farmer’s Pledge,” Livingston says. “We promise to use organic production methods in our fields and animals, and additionally, we pledge to use practices that promote a more sustainable future, ecologically and economically.”

Because the farm direct-markets all of its products, the farmers don’t see any point in USDA putting a label on the food so consumers know what they’re buying.

“They can just ask me,” Livingston says. “I’m standing right in front of them at the farmers’ market.”

She says so many of the USDA standards for certified organic food are geared toward making it easier for “corporate organic” to be certified.

“Organic farming should be about sustainability, integrity of the farm ecosystem, and right livelihood, not about marketing labels,” she says.

The couple collects data about lamb birth weights and milk production of each of the ewes as an indicator of the health of the flock.

“We do assess animal performance, particularly milk production per ewe,” Livingston says. “The milk production statistics that I collect help me decide which ewe lambs I want to keep for the milking flock, but also which ewes I want to breed to our dairy ram, rather than our meat/fiber ram.

“I don’t use the milk production data to compare ourselves to other sheep dairies, because there are hardly any other farms that are doing 100 percent grass-fed with cross-bred animals. Comparisons to other sheep dairies wouldn’t really tell me anything.”

The farm has few, if any, predator problems.

“We are surrounded by coyotes and foxes, our ducks have unfortunately fallen victim, but the sheep have not been affected,” Livingston says. “I may have lost one yearling ram a number of years ago to a coyote, but I consider it my fault: I put three rams out in the pasture in early spring to make some room in the barnthey were in a large five to six-acre field with just our perimeter fence, no Electronet® . That was just too low a stocking density, without the added protection of the Electronet®.”

(Electronet® is a registered product of Premier1. See page 68.Editor.)

The milking and lamb flocks are on pasture 24 hours a day during the growing season, and they have never had a problem.

“I think there are a number of reasons,” Livingston says. “The animals are out on pasture when food sources are abundant; the animals live in the barnyard or near the barns during the winter season; the animals move at least once a day, and usually twice a day; we put bells on some of the ewes, which produces an erratic sound. And we always use Electronet® for fencing.”

Sheep Are Profitable Every Day

The farm sells or uses everything from one end of the sheep to the other.

The ewes give birth in mid-April and Livingston begins making cheese in late May, continuing production until the animals are dried off in late October.

The sheep are fed hay during the winter months when they are not lactating.

“We make cheese approximately every other day throughout the season, and our cheeses are aged in our cheese cave for six months to two years where they develop a natural rind,” Livingston says.

“Our cheeses are really made by hand, in small batches. They are all raw milk cheeses, and I try ‘not to get in the way of the milk.’ I use very gentle methods in cheesemakingI don’t over agitate, over heat or over press. Our milk is really just phenomenal, and I want it to shine through in the flavor profile of the cheese.”

“We’re pretty settled on our products, although I continue to refine one of our newer cheesesa soft cheese, aged a minimum of 60 days, that is coagulated with cardoon flowers that we grow here. It is a Spanish style cheese, and I traveled to Spain a couple of years ago to learn how to make it.”

All the cheeses sell for $20 a pound:

• Bergère Bleue: A creamy, roquefort-style blue cheese with a light blue vein. Aged 4-12 months.

 Folie Bergère: A firm, nutty washed curd sheep cheese with a natural rind. Aged 12-15 months.

 Tomme Bergère: A rustic, Alpine-style sharp cheese with a natural rind. Aged 4-12 months.

 Bergerino: An Italian-style hard cheese with a natural rind. Aged 12-24 months.

 Cardonbert: A soft sheep cheese in the Portuguese or Spanish style, coagulated with home-grown cardoon flowers. Aged 2-4 months.

The lambs are weaned at one month of age, or when they reach a minimum of 30 pounds and show vigor, and become “the lamb flock,” which also includes the yearling ewes.

“The milking flock is just thatthe ewes that go through the parlor,” Livingston says. “Then we always have the ‘bachelor flock’ of rams.”

The couple says they pretty much select only for milk production with their breeding program.

“That trait will encompass the other values I’m aiming forhealth and vigor on a 100 percent grass-fed diet,” Livingston says.

As well as cheese and meat, they have developed a very good market for offal.

“I don’t get the brains back, they are so seldom requested, but we have quite a market for liver, heart, tongue and kidney,” Livingston says.

“I find that the organs that don’t sell during the regular marketing season I can sell at a deep discount before my next butchering season to people for their pets. They are great food for pets and it helps me get the freezers cleared out before the next butchering season.”

They sell 99 percent of their products at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market on Saturdays, April through December.

“I occasionally sell from the farm, but only by appointment,” Livingston says. “We used to have a number of good wholesale accounts, but our local retail sales are so strong, that we just don’t do any wholesale anymore.

“I shear the flock and send our wool to a mill and get yarn made. The yarn really enhances our farmers’ market stall. I also have our sheepskins tanned and sell those at our stall, too.”

Both sheep and horse manures are composted with garden bedding to make fertilizer for the farm’s fields and gardens.

Flock Health; Public Health

Livingston says they don’t sell any live animals as the flock has been Ovine Progressive Pneumonia (OPP) positive “forever, and although we have learned to live with it, I don’t want anyone else to have to do so.”

It is estimated more than 50 percent of the flocks in the U.S. are infected with OPP, with the number of sheep infected within a positive flock anywhere between one percent and 70 percent. There is no treatment for OPP, but the vast majority of infected sheep will never show respiratory disease or a wasting syndrome.

In these days of global disease and virus concerns the couple is notoriously picky about farm tours.

“People tend to want to come during the nicest weather times, which is when we are at our busiest,” Livingston says. “I also don’t want to run a petting zoothis is a working farm, so you’re not always going to be able to see or be close to the animals. So we accept visitors on our terms.”

The farm is at 1,500 feet elevation and tends to be windier and colder than other places nearby.

“Our coldest days here are usually just below zero, and old man winter typically will lay in a base of snow and we don’t see bare fields until sometime in March or April,” Livingston says. “But it is a little piece of heaven in the summer.”

They agree the use of horse and mule power rather than modern farm equipment means it takes them longer, with more people, to produce their hay.

“We don’t really ‘eschew’ the use of modern machinery per se, but we do what we love,” Hewes says.

Livingston says while they have philosophical and political underpinnings to their farming style, they pretty much farm this way because they love every minute of it.

“If Donn had to sit around on a tractor, he would be miserable and have a sore back from the tractor seat,” she says. “If my animals were confined in a barn, I would be fat and miserable. We both love being out in the fields with the animals.

“We work hard to make our farm operate with minimal outside inputs and to conserve and recycle nutrients on the farm. We are constantly striving to reduce our use of fossil fuels and energy-intensive manufactured products.”

The sheep are handled using low-stress management techniques.

“We allow our pastures to support diverse forages to provide the healthiest and most natural diet for our sheep. We believe that our farm can only support a certain number of animals and we maintain a healthy, limited stocking rate. This allows us to provide adequate nutrition, space, health care, and attention to the animals.”

The couple also pays special attention to management techniques that reduce or eliminate health challenges to their animals so they don’t require the use of chemicals or antibiotics to maintain good health.

Community Activities

“While our closely-held beliefs in sustainable farming and living drive many of our farm operations, we have come to believe that we need to begin thinking beyond those views and to make our farm a tool of social, economic, and food justice,” Livingston says.

“We believe that by providing healthy, locally-produced food to our immediate community we will create a stronger civic fabric where it is most needed.”

Previous owners Karl and Jane North still live in their home on the farm, in which they hold a “life estate.” They garden and are involved in teaching and outreach activities.

The new owners are also active in area outreach programs.

“We are really fortunate to be working as mentors to other young or beginning farmers,” Livingston says. “We are a mentor farm for the New Farmer Training Program, which is administered by the Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming.

“We are also a CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) mentor farm, also administered through Groundswell, wherein we teach other area farm apprentices about sheep, grass-fed dairying, and draft animals.

“We get to teach a class or two for the Summer Practicum in Sustainable Farming & Local Food Systems (Groundswell again!). We are very much involved in teaching at the annual winter conference put on by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY).

“I am vice president of the Board of Directors of NOFA-NY, and Donn is on the board of directors of a new, vibrant farmers’ market near us, the Homer Farmers’ Market. Donn is also planning to put on a program this summer through NOFA-NY on using draft animal power on vegetable farms.”

Livingston says she is finding more and more people are getting interested in sheep dairying.

“I’m always encouraging folks who are interested to start developing a line of hair dairy sheep,” she says. “Some of the hair breeds out there are really greatDorpers and Katahdins, for example. It wouldn’t take much to incorporate some great dairy genetics in a hair sheep, and I think more people would be likely to go into sheep dairying if they didn’t have to worry about the ‘wool problem’.”

In the summer the couple can be working 17-hours a day between twice-daily milking, cheesemaking, grazing chores and haymaking. In the winter, the animals are dry, housed in the barnyard and being fed hay.

“Our winter workday is only about four hours of active chores, if that,” Livingston says. “Winter is when we plan a vacation because it’s much easier to find a farm sitter and get away for a bit.

“We love the swing of the seasons over the course of the year. I have nothing but admiration for cow dairy farmers who milk every day, year in and year out, but I much prefer the rhythm of the seasonal, small ruminant dairy.”

Movie Monday 5/17

Just got home - busy afternoon and evening!  Ken is off on a business trip, and the boys and I all got much-needed haircuts tonight, then grabbed some dinner out.  Time for sweats and TV!

I've been feeling much better the past few days (aside from a 24-hour allergy attack Saturday after a windy morning on the soccer field).  I'm finally getting caught up on stuff that's been piling up for months....just in time, because I was really feeling at the breaking point last week.  More on that later this week.  For now...

It's Movie Monday!  After two busy weekends, it was nice to have a quiet weekend to ourselves.  Well, not all that quiet, with soccer games and two birthday parties for the boys, but Ken and I got to watch movies Friday and Saturday, so that was nice:
  • Friday we watched one of my all-time favorite movies, Parenthood.  Ken and the boys got me the DVD for Mother's Day.  It's been years since I've seen it, but I still love it!  It's a hilarious and heartwarming movie about family, starring Steve Martin, Dianne West, Mary Steenburgen, and a very young Keanu Reeves.  It's directed by Ron Howard and, even after all these years, it still makes me laugh out loud and cry (happy tears, not sad!)  The new NBC TV show (also directed by Ron Howard) based on the movie is also great - they've captured that same mix of humor and drama.  It's on past my bedtime, but I've been watching it online while I eat lunch, and I'm totally hooked.
  • Saturday we watched The Informant, a release from last year starring Matt Damon, as Mark Whitacre, the highest-ranking corporate whistle-blower in US history.  The movie is based on a true story, and Matt Damon is great in the leading role as the cheerful, babbling Whitacre.  He goes to the FBI to report on price fixing in the food additive industry, confident that he will emerge as a hero.  Reluctant at first, he ends up really enjoying his role as secret agent, taping conversations with his boss and co-workers and amassing evidence for the FBI's case.  The movie is very funny at times but also increasingly confusing, as things begin to unravel for Whitacre.  We both enjoyed the movie.
Have you seen any good movies lately?

  1. I've been recording the Parenthood series, but havne't watched it yet. Hear great things so I'm excited to get started - thought I'd wait til off season and there's nothing good to watch.

    We went to see Robin Hood in the theater on Friday. It was good, but I tend to like those kind of movies. Except for the violence (which had me cringing at times) I enjoyed that it didn't have a lot of language or sexual innuendos.

    Have a restful week Sue!

  2. PJ -

    You'll love Parenthood! I'm with you - I like to have something to watch in the "off season." All of our favorite shows are wrapping up this week - what will we watch?

    We all want to see Robin Hood, too - one of our favorite family movies is the old Robin Hood with Errol Flynn - awesome!

  3. Have you seen Modern Family, the new TV series? Soooo funny.

  4. The Informant was a strange one, wasn't it? But I enjoyed Matt Damon's acting a lot. If you haven't seen The Insider (also based on a true story) starring Russell Crowe, do see it. It's excellent.

    No movies for me, but, I had a lucky break with books...

    The 7 keto-DHEA sponsored the energy for me to walk to the local library on Saturday morning, and there just happened to be the biggest used book fair of the year on! I got a stack of great hardcovers for a few dollars. I started reading one by Anne McAffrey, I forgot how good her Dragon novels are!

  6. I just watched the informant. I thought the movie was okay but I found Matt Damon's performance amazing. He didn't play this character, he was this character. That was worth the time watching the movie.

    He has really grown as an actor. I remember a time when critics were laughing because he took on the Jason Bourne roll. He was the one laughing all the way to the bank after that! Ha!

    I watched "Into the Storm" this weekend. It is an HBO special your can rent about Winston Churchill. Man was that good. I got choked up several times during the movie. He so believed in his country.

    I also watched "Public Enemies". Love Johnny Depp and he did not let me down. I knew little to nothing of John Dillinger, so I was Depp that drew me to the movie. I thought the costume designer did a great job keeping the period authentic. I enjoyed the producer's perspective as well. Really well done movie.

  7. So many good suggestions!

    David - we love Modern Family! The funniest show on Tv now - makes us laugh out loud!!

    Toni - Yes, The Informant was a bit strange. I didn't want to say too much here and give anything away, but there are some unexpected surprises. I'll add The Insider to our list!

    D - How wonderful that you were feeling well enough to walk to the library! The book sale sounds like so much fun. My husband and 15-year old son are both big McAffrey fans - enjoy the books!

    Dominique - You're right about Matt Damon's performance - he really became the character - someone totally different from most of his movie characters. I'll add Public Enemies to our list!

  8. Sounds fun! I just watched "The Blind Side" with my girls. It was sweet and cheesy, in a good way, and I enjoyed it very much.

    For TV, I love Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Fringe, and now Friday Night Lights is back and it is EXCELLENT! Good stuff to watch with my family.

From a private exchange of emails about a proposed Greenhouse Effect thought experiment on Friday, 04 January 2013, 12:20 pm

It seems there is a long tradition in academia for "pure" research. Like "pure" math or "pure" theoretical physics, it is not supposed to be contaminated by any part of reality. Especially by not having a hint of or intent for practical usefulness. The grubby and dirty thing called making money by providing a useful and valuable product at a price a customer is willing to pay is to be unthinkable and kept hidden as a dirty secret.

Yet, the "purity" of their "pure" discipline must be supported by Government Grants that are extorted from all those evil people who actually invent and produce the products that everyone needs and wants to live and thrive. Absolutely no value is to be returned to those evil ones. Their purpose is simply to be slaves of the sacred academic "purity". They are to pay dearly for their crime of actually providing what others need and want.

However, by that extorted, evil, and dirty money going though the hands of Government, it is made pure. It then becomes a noble effort to search for knowledge (aka grants) simply for the sake of knowledge (aka grant money) and to publish peer reviewed (aka pal reviewed) papers endlessly citing each other in scholastic pretense of things no one either wants nor needs nor can make any use of (except to attain tenure and to gain more grant money). Oh but do they ever and always remain "pure" at everyone else's expense.

The modern "scientist" equivocates between "pure" (without purpose or payoff other than still more grant money) with "basic" (having purpose but with an unpredictable payoff). The politicians like the "pure" research angle because it gives them unlimited power to spend without having to be accountable for the consequences. After all, "science says" and "it's for the children!" We makers get hit from both sides by the takers and are not to have a say in the matter.

My bottom line is that if an activity can't be sustained by private voluntary funding then it should not exist. If that were the case then roughly 98% of academia and Government would be out of a job and likely unemployable. However, the rest of us would be wildly more wealthy and productive. More importantly, we would be free to live our lives without the overhead of and interference from all the academic and Governmental parasites. Imagine, actually implementing respect for the individual owning HIS life, HIS liberty, and HIS pursuit of happiness.

I don't know if this'll make sense, but I think this has to
be a ~fuzzy suggestion to the kernel. There are so many
variables that you can't predict what the kernel will run
into. For example, with my favorite test, sometimes tasks
do something nasty, like all deciding to do the same things
at once and thereby jerking a _knot_ in the vm's tail.

Ok, I don't have a preference one way or the other. I used upper case
since mib stats used upper case macros (it was that way before I
twiddled with it).
I'll use lower case macros for the per partition stats too.

struct path_node, perhaps?
