I have usually avoided “Special Day Class” assignments because of all the horror stories others have told me about. But I took this assignment today because there doesn’t seem to be much of the “regular class” variety.

First up, NO LESSON PLAN. The class DID have two aides for the sixteen students.

If those aids weren’t there, I wouldn’t know what I was supposed to do or even how to do it. There was a mix of mentally retarded, autistic, and really below grade level mix of 4th, 5th grade students.

One kid has something called “Williams syndrome”, another autistic, another one spent part of the movie eating Styrofoam (…not sure if he swallowed any before I took it away from him). And a fourth kid was a continually scratching her legs.

I probably won’t volunteer for this again.

Fred said...

How could a teacher possibly have no lesson plan? I don't get it.

H0kie Erin said...

I've been pretty lucky with those kinds of classes. The aides are wonderful. They don'te get paid nearly enough. Next week I am doing the class full of behavior problems. It's always an interesting day. Thank goodnes for HER aide.

The MAN Fan Club said...

Yes, SpEd can be challenging. The last 2 years I taught Emotionally Disturbed classes. You really relied on the aides to run things when a sub was needed.

Health Care Ruling: Surprising Decisions, Votes

Jun 28, 2012
Originally published on June 28, 2012 10:28 am

There was a lot of speculation about how the Supreme Court would decide, but almost every prognostication was wrong: from who the swing vote would be (it was Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the opinion), to what the basis for the opinion would be (it wasn't the Commerce Clause).

Hi hi to all my fellow Kazuki Yone fans!  I just posted a review of the Hakuouki Official Monogatari Emaki on geek_girl_talk  (or whatever it's called as it seems like every online store has a different name for it).  I included some photos in case you're curious what's inside of it.  :)

Short version:  I don't recommend it as there is a lot of overlap with the older books.

My favorite book so far is the first one (Hakuouki ~Shinsengumi Kitan~ Official Illustration Book ).  Does anyone own any of the other new books and have an opinion about how good/bad they are?  It feels like they release a new book every other month, and it's hard to know if the new books have new art in them or not.

A young woman meets a prince and falls in love. That sounds like the start of an old fashioned fairy tale, but in the movie A United Kingdom it's the start of a diplomatic firestorm. The film tells the story of Ruth Williams and Seretse Khama, who married in 1948. Williams was a typist in London; Khama was heir to the throne of Bechuanaland, or modern-day Botswana.

Michael Ryan, 45, is a juvenile judge in Cleveland, Ohio. And like many of the kids who end up in his courtroom, he didn't have an easy childhood.

He adored his mother, he tells his son — also named Michael, 19, at StoryCorps in Cleveland, but she was addicted to heroin.

In America, there is a rare echelon of pop stars so big they only need one name: Madonna, Cher, Prince. In Italy, that name is Zucchero.

At the Oscars this weekend, one spotlight will shine on African-American women in the space race, thanks to the movie Hidden Figures, which is nominated for three Academy Awards, including best picture.

Mae Jemison made history in this field as the first African-American woman in space, as part of the crew on Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Happy Birthdays To Nancy Wilson & Nina Simone

Feb 19, 2012

On this week's 12th Street Jump we celebrate the birthdays of song stylist Miss Nancy Wilson & the High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone, with our very own Nedra Dixon.

During the hour, the 12th Street Jump gang plays “So What’s Your Question?” and we learn a bit more about Nedra in a little jam session called, ”Who’s Got the Blues?"

Miss Nancy Wilson (born February 20) began singing early on in life. She met Cannonball Adderly as a young woman, and he suggested Miss Wilson move to New York to broaden her career horizons. She did, and from there she went on to work with countless jazz, blues and pop artists and to perform on countless variety shows. She has more than 70 albums and three Grammy Awards.

Nina Simone (February 21, 1933 - April 21, 2003) is an icon of American music. Her musical style was a combination of her gospel roots, pop influences and classical piano, which she picked up at the ripe old age of three while living with her preacher parents in North Carolina. Later in her career, Miss Simone became involved in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and her music became an eternally iconic symbol of the times.

From the Rainforest of Peru to the Mesas of Arizona

 Late entry. Originally written June 12, 2016:

It has been almost 3 years since my last blog post -- one of many things in my life that went on hold during Family Medicine Residency. On reflection, residency does seem like a bit of a black hole that has consumed more time and energy than I ever could imagine I had to give, week after week, year after year. On the other hand, it has also given me so much: knowledge and skills, incredible friends and colleagues, and the opportunity to bear witness to so much joy and sorrow in the range of the human experience.

Now those three years are coming to a close and I’m fortunate enough to be spending my last month of residency on an away elective at a hospital in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. It is absolutely incredible here; it feels like a combination of medical school in Cuba and working in Santa Ana, Ecuador, which have been two of the most incredibly rewarding and life-changing experiences of my life. I am working in a small town called Santa Clotilde on the Napo River in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. Santa Clotilde is only accessible by boat, by an approximately 7-hour journey by motorboat from Iquitos, the capital of the region which is in turn only accessible by boat or plane. Remote as Santa Clotilde is, it is home to several thousand people and is the district capital and houses the government and the hospital for a vast region of rainforest. I am working as one of five doctors at the local hospital, which has a 20-bed unit for hospitalized patients, one delivery room for vaginal births, one operating room for cesarean sections and other basic surgeries, and an outpatient clinic area with four exam rooms. There is a lab which can run some basic tests (blood counts, some kidney and liver function tests, as well as checking for malaria and intestinal parasites) and an ultrasound machine, but no x-ray. Many of the staff at the hospital are recent graduates from their areas doing their year of “social service” which is required before being able to move on to further study such as residency for physicians. I am living in the same large house they all stay in, which is part of what reminds me of my time at ELAM (medical school in Cuba) – cooking, washing clothes, eating communally with young medical professionals from all different parts of Peru. The ingredients available to buy are rather limited, but we are always discovering new ways to prepare the basic stables (flour, oil, rice, beans, lentils, yucca, platano) and a few fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, beats, peppers) in new and different ways. Today I taught them how to make flour tortillas from scratch and we made tacos which turned out delicious.

The rainforest here is amazing. Yesterday afternoon after we finished seeing patients, one of the local staff members took us on in a ‘peke-peke’ (homemade boat with a small motor for going short distances in the river) up the Napo River to a neighboring community named Wiririma. We swam in a tributary of the Napo River that has an intense black hue to the water due to some kind of mineral. The river was high due to the recent rains, with the bases of many trees swallowed by the black waters. It happened to be Wririma’s anniversary celebration, so after we swam, we went up into the community center to watch the soccer tournament and taste the local homebrewed fermented yucca alcohol Masato. It is an opaque white liquid that tastes a bit like yogurt or kambucha mixed with some fibrous remnants of yucca. Traditionally women would chew the boiled yucca and the saliva would provide the enzymes necessary to produce the sugars for fermentation to produce alcohol. In this region, people have generally switched over to alternative methods such as adding sugar cane juice to facilitate fermentation. It is fascinating to see the blending of tradition and modernity in Santa Clotilde and the surrounding communities. In general, the influence of modernity seems to predominate more in this area than in Santa Ana, Ecuador, the community in which I previously had worked for years on water treatment. Even though all of these communities here in Peru are accessible only by river and Santa Ana has road access, fewer people speak their native languages here (although some do speak kichwa and I’ve gotten to use a bit of what I remember from Santa Ana), there is less traditional music and dance, and more integration of modern expectations of hygiene and lifestyle. But people still maintain an incredible knowledge and intimacy with the natural environment, from the chakras where they still grow a lot of their own food, to the rivers that provide fish and transportation, and the tributaries where people wash clothes and swim. Although some seem to live more of a "city" lifestyle, there are limits in that there is only electricity here from 6pm-11pm because it is generated here, the paved roads only go so far within the city, and it is impossible to escape the mosquitos and the diseases they carry, especially malaria. Most people around here have had malaria at least one, if not many times in their lives, and we see and treat it every day in the hospital and clinic.

I have been very impressed by the Centro de Salud Santa Clotilde where I work both in the care it provides and the integration in the community. The inpatient area is an open ward meaning all the beds are in the same two rooms except for an isolation room and two rooms for moms and babies. I often seen the patients hanging out with each other within the ward or in the courtyard. Although there are only 5 doctors, there are so many other staff members here: laboratory staff, maintenance staff, nurses, nursing techs, pharmacists, midwives, administrative staff, public health staff, and they do an incredible job with very little resources to care for a large number of patients each day (approximately 30-50 outpatients and 10-20 inpatients). In addition to seeing patients in clinic and taking call every fifth day, I have also brought water testing equipment and am teaching the public health team how to use it to assess water safety and encourage treatment (generally boiling or chlorination) as I have done previously in Ecuador and Uganda.

Working here feels like a merging of many threads in my life – public health and medicine, water and health, living and learning in another language and culture. It has been 10 years now since I first traveled to Santa Ana. I am not sure what it says about me that I still love this work just as much and have the same goals and dreams as I did 10 years ago. Maybe I was a precocious 19 year-old. Or maybe I am stunted in my ability to grow and evolve. Or maybe it is simply that I have come to the end of an 11-year educational process of university, medical school, and residency, and am just now finally be able to start to do the work that I have always intended to do from the beginning.

Sometimes I really do wish I could just move here to Santa Clotilde and work full time after I graduate in a few weeks, but I still have too much debt from medical school to make that a reasonable option. Instead, I have chosen a rather parallel job within the United States for after I graduate: working for the Indian Health Service at the Hopi Health Care Center on the Hopi reservation in Northern Arizona. I start in October and will be working in the outpatient clinic, as well as in the emergency room, on the 4-bed inpatient ward, and the tiny labor and delivery ward for low risk vaginal deliveries (women who are high risk or might need a cesarean section for any reason deliver at Tuba City instead which is 45 minutes away), along with three other physicians and a handful of nurse practitioners and physician's assistants that run the small critical access rural hospital. There is a laboratory and radiology department on site with x-ray, CT scanner, and ultrasound capabilities and an MRI that comes in a trailer twice a month. The Hopi reservation is both incredibly remote and stunningly beautiful albeit in a slightly austere way. It is in the high desert of Northern Arizona with few trees and little water, but incredible mesas with endless trails for hiking and running. The Hopi are a pueblo people and have lived continuously in some of their communities at the top of their mesas for almost 1,000 years. Their traditional culture, including language, religion and farming practices are still very much alive and the Hopi have a reputation for being very open and welcoming to medical staff, often extending invitations to ceremonies and dinners. I am very much looking forward to this opportunity for a cross-cultural experience as well as the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge I have gained over these last 7 years in a place where they are very much needed.

Writing Update

February 22, 2017

I have just uploaded the files for TTCE&P to Amazon and the book should be available to purchase in about a day. I'll get the files up on Kobo in another couple of days.

Polishing the draft took a couple of weeks longer than I anticipated and I apologize for the delay. TTCE&P is somewhat different from my standard fare, but it was the story that I wanted to tell at this time.

I am back to work on Technology:Begin and have mapped out a about a third of the novel. I hope to have it done in as little as three months, but as we all know my track record for making deadlines and keeping them is poor.

December 26, 2016

The draft of TTCE&P will be finished by the 31st of this month and the book will be published in January. For the coming year, my plan is to resume work on Technology, Begin: and then to work on Rider's Doom. My expectation is that both will be out by mid-year. I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

October 13, 2016

A number of worldy concerns have greatly reduced the amount of energy that I have been able to devote to writing in the last two months and consequently Time Traveler's Currency Exchange and Pawn still needs quite a bit of work. Since I don't want to rush it, I think that it will not be published until the spring. There is a small chance that I might manage to get it out the door by December. Otherwise, not much is moving on the writing front.

August 30, 2016

TTCE&P is proceeding rather slowly this month. I'm going to try to get caught up so that I can focus on it in September. I'm still hoping to get it out in October, but at the moment December seems more likely.

July 24, 2106

Work is proceeding on TTCE&P, but with the better weather I have returned to some of my outside projects. I plan to publish the novel around October, but as always this is only a projection, not a promise.

May 17, 2016

I have settled on Time Traveler's Currency Exchange and Pawn and am working on it exclusively. It is coming along well and my expectation is that it will be published in a few months. The novel will not be hard sci-fi. While the setting is contemporary, the plot would best be described as adventure-fantasy. I believe that, if possible, I will list it in both the Fantasy and Science Fiction categories. The book will be a stand-alone novel and I cannot conceive at this point of it ever having a continuation of any sort. While I understand that most of my audience prefers series fiction, I have decided to write this novel to suit itself, rather than the market. I hope that some of you are able to buy it and enjoy it, but I am not writing the novel with a strictly commercial intent. It's just story that I want to write at this time. This will of course mean that work on my other novels will be pushed off until next year.

March 25, 2016

Technology, Begin: is simmering but not being written at the moment. I may start work on something else. At this stage and considering all of the other tasks currently making demands on my time, I do not expect to publish another novel of any sort until late in the fall. My apologies to those looking for another book, but alas the muse apparently has moved to the south of France for the season.

February 20,2016

Technology, Begin: is not progressing. For me, writing in a humorous vein requires a certain positive motivation and this unfortunately has been lacking. At present, most of my spare energy is going into the design of a MMORPG. My youngest son and I have been potty training my youngest grandson and have found this a very fullfilling and rewarding venture. At this stage, I cannot give a projection as to when TB will be published and I am tempted to work on some of my other in progress novels in an attempt to find other inspiration.

Parents had hoped to negotiate with Foley captors

ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - The parents of slain journalist James Foley said they regarded an email they received from his captors last week as a hopeful sign they could negotiate with the Islamic militants.

Speaking on NBC's "Today," John and Diane Foley from Rochester, New Hampshire, said they had last heard from the captors via several emails in December.

John Foley said he was excited to see the latest email, even though the kidnappers threatened to kill his son, because he hoped they would be willing to negotiate.

"I underestimated that point," John Foley said of the threat. "I did not realize how brutal they were."

Foley, 40, was kidnapped in Syria in November 2012. His Islamic State captors had demanded $132.5 million from his parents and political concessions from Washington. Authorities say neither obliged.

The militants revealed Foley's death in a video released Tuesday. The extremists said they killed him in retaliation U.S. airstrikes targeting Islamic State positions in northern Iraq.

The Foleys said they had set up a special email address and sent multiple messages to try to engage the captors.

"We were just anxiously waiting," Diane Foley said.

GlobalPost, the Boston-based news organization Foley contributed to, released a copy of the captors' final e-mail.

"Today our swords are unsheathed towards you, GOVERNMENT AND CITIZENS ALIKE!" they wrote. "AND WE WILL NOT STOP UNTILL WE QUENCH OUR THIRST FOR YOUR BLOOD."

In New Hampshire, Gov. Maggie Hassan has directed flags to fly at half-staff in honor of Foley on Sunday, the day a church service is planned in remembrance of him.

"An unconscionable act of terror took him from us far too soon, but his unyielding commitment to advancing our cherished First Amendment right across the globe and the truths he unveiled will live on forever," she said in a statement.

Study: 1 in 68 kids has autism

MASON CITY, Iowa – There is a jump in youth autism cases, at least according to one government organization’s new report.

While it may be because doctors are better at diagnosing the disorder, instead of more children with autism, for families who deal with it each day, it shines a light on the fact that having support for their kids, is crucial.

One in 68 children in the U.S. has autism those numbers are according to a new study from the centers for disease control which suggests the developmental disorder is on the rise.

“It sparked something in me.”

Vicki Ries is a mother of 4 children; one is on the autism spectrum.

Hearing the new numbers is prompting her to take action.

“That number is so big, yet we do so little to help them and I think that needs to change and it just got me going to get out there more and really help people, help families that are impacted by this,” says Ries.

She’s the president of a non-profit organization called Special Kids, Special Love which helps out families with children who have autism and other special needs.

Ries is working with the hospital to get board certified services for these children. Right now there are none in the area.

“So there’s no real means of diagnosis around here. There’s no help for these kids so many kids just go through the system as behavior disorder or other issues rather than really seeking the help that they need.”

“I do think autism is on the rise,” says Christina Maulsby.

Maulsby is the program director for the Children’s Autism Center at Opportunity Village.

She not surprised by the CDC’s new findings but says the data is based on a 2010 study that just looked at 8 year old children so she doesn’t believe the numbers are totally accurate.

“The only really true way to test if this is accurate info would be if you were to follow a child from live birth and test them every 6 months to really get an accurate read, well obviously that’s not feasible so the CDC does the best they can with pulling the numbers but it’s not probably the most accurate,” says Maulsby.

The center also realizes the need for a board certified analyst in the north Iowa area.

“We are actually in the process of doing a national search. In the state of Iowa there’s only 53 BCBA’s is what there called. And so getting that and then we’ll be able to offer that intensive one on one ABA, applied behavior analysis therapy.”

Therapy that Ries believes her son Jones will benefit from.

“Autism is so complicated that without the top qualified, board certified help that they need, you need to be careful there kids need some help and it has to be the right help.”

text: Common Solutions Group Authentication PPG Report September 26, 1994 "Inter-Institutional Security Infrastructure: Analysis and Proposal" Written by: Thomas Dimock Ted Hanss Jeff Hodges (Editor) Theodore Ts'o John Vollbrecht Introduction: ------------- This document is the report from the Authentication Project Planning Group of the Common Solutions Group. In it, we present a recast problem statement, various approaches, and recommendations and goals. Our recommendations address policy and security service deployment and operation more than advocating new software development activities for the first year. Instituting common systems using existing code should accomplish significant enhancements in our cooperative authentication infrastructures. Problem Statement: ------------------ Presently, there is only modest provision for interactions between the security domains of our institutions, where security has the three facets of authentication, privacy, and integrity. We need to architect an inter-institutional security infrastructure which will address the following goal and subgoals (not necessarily in priority order)... Provide the capability for secure, unambiguous, universal ("inter-realm") identification of an actor. A. Provide for secure and attributable inter-institutional "store-and-forward" interactions, e.g. the exchange of email and files. B. Provide for secure and attributable inter-institutional "real-time" interactions. E.g. enable individuals from other institutions to access real-time resources in an authenticated fashion (e.g. AFS, telnet/rlogin). Summary of Available Technologies: ---------------------------------- Presently widely deployed in an institutionally centrally-administered fashion: Kerberos V4 in various flavors (e.g. AFS's kaserver) Emerging: Kerberos V5 DCE Public Key (RSA-based) PGP Embedded in applications (AOCE, Notes, Netware, ...) Discussion: ----------- Problem A: store-and-forward interactions We feel Public-Key (PK) technology is the appropriate general solution. Example systems which use PK technology include Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM). PK technology may be used to ensure "privacy" and "integrity" as well as providing (digital) "signature". See [Zimmerman] for an in-depth discussion of these concepts. Example store-and-forward applications include Stanford and MIT exchanging transcripts for undergrads applying to graduate school at either place and individuals at Michigan sending email to Cornell. Privacy is ensuring that only the person you send something to, e.g. a file or a mail message, can read it. Integrity is ensuring that a message's or file's contents have not been changed, inadvertantly or otherwise. Signature assures us as to who originated the message or file. One of the primary issues in any PK-based system is how the system obtains the public key of the various users in the system. If there is a flaw in the method by which a system chooses which public key to use when trying to verify a signature, or sending an encrypted message, that system will not be secure. There are two general models which have been proposed. The first is the method used by the PEM system, and the second is the method used by the PGP system. Unfortunately, a detailed description of how these various sytems works is beyond the scope of this paper. However, we will attempt to give just a flavor of the differences between the two models. The PEM model The PEM model uses X.509 certificates, and imposes a very rigid heirarchy on the X.509 certification hierarchy. The advantages of such a hierarchy are that verifying the trustworthyness and legitmacy of a particular public key is very simple. This can be very important in commercial EDI applications. Unfortunately, the PEM model has several problems which has sigificantly slowed down (perhaps fatally) the acceptance of the PEM model. The first problem is that the PEM model concentrates a large amount of trust near the root of the hierarchy. If a particular node in the hierarchy is compromised, the attacker can forge a digital signatures for anyone underneath that point in the hierarchy. Because of this, there are fearsome liability exposures associated with running a Certification Authority (CA); and this problem is especially bad at the root. For instance, users' certificates may possibly be required to be revoked en masse if their CA does something to violate their charter. These liability issues have sparked a legal tangle of proposed legal agreements and contracts which have significantly delayed the deployment of the root and the top levels of the PEM hierarchy. The U.S. Postal Service has suggested that it may be the appropriate provider of a certification authority as it looks to recast its role in the future. Any such service, however, is still several years away. The second problem is that multiple, parallel PEM CA hierarchies being proposed and set up. These high-level CA hierarchies, called a Policy Certifying Authorities, are not yet tied together. As a result, you must make one of them your "root" and then you can interact only with others in that same PCA. Another issue with the PEM model is its use of X.500 style distinguished names. This has been a sigificant reason for its lack of acceptance within the Internet community. X.500-style distinguished names suffer from two problems. The first is that they are large and clumsy. The second is that they are incompatible with Internet email addresses. Please see Appendix 1 for a more in-depth discussion of the X.500-style distinguished names issue. Perhaps the final reason why PEM has not been adopted is that the one freely available implementation is large, cumbersome, hard to compile and install, and in general, not well done. Additionally, the free implementation is only available for Unix systems. The PGP model In contrast, the PGP model is much more free-form and general. It also uses certificates, but not X.509-format certificates. Instead of a strict hierarchy of CA's, there is a network or mesh of individuals or entities that have been "introduced" to each other. Each user of another's certificate must make their own determination as to how much they trust various "introducers" in the network. See [Zimmerman] for an in-depth discussion. While there is no formally recognized conventions and procedures to ensure trust, in practice this scheme has worked relatively well. In addition, individuals and institutions are free to layer whatever trust-assurance conventions and procedures they desire on top of the basic technology. (We will be proposing such a convention later in this report.) PGP is small and easy to install. It does not require an individual sign legal agreements before using PGP. An institution that wishes to distributed PGP, however, must sign an agreement with RSADSI. Additionally, it is freely available on a wide variety of platforms, including Unix, PC/Dos, Macintosh, VMS, Amiga, and more. We would want to investigate incorporating PGP into various applications, such as varioius email tools (e.g. Eudora, mh, pine, mailstrom, etc) in order to make it easier to use. Right now it requires you to sign files which you then inmsert into an email message. However, that brings up the issue of whether we give the application code to RSADSI or get a paid-for license. Summary Issues with the PEM model are that... Rigid CA hierarchy with unclear legal liability issues still being defined. The high-level PCAs aren't tied together yet. Dependency upon X.500 names. Low usage levels of the one Internet-available unix-only implementation. Benefits are that... Trust levels are clear. There is an infrastructure supporting explicit key revocation. Issues with the PGP approach are that... There's no formally recognized conventions and procedures to ensure trust. There's no explicit key revocation infrastructure. Need to investigate incorporating PGP into various client applications (e.g. email programs). Would need to decide on how to approach RSA's licensing requirements. Benefits are that... PGP is a "component technology" whose usage style is tailorable. PGP is in widespread use on the Internet. PGP is available for many platforms. Recommendation We recommend using PGP as the basis for inter-institutional store-and-forward interactions. Problem B. "real-time" interactions Example "real-time" applications would include a Stanford faculty member accessing (with authorization) files in a U-M faculty member's AFS home directory or a researcher at MIT running an application on the Cornell supercomputer without having to enter a new login and password. We can address this issue by exchanging Kerberos inter-realm keys between our various institutions. Presently, this is the one and only option as Kerberos is the defacto standard campus-oriented, real-time authentication technology. In doing this, we make it possible for cooperating researchers, or administrative staff, or other groups, to allow foreign users to authenticate and have access to their local resources without needing to create that foreign user a local account. Instead, all that is necessary will be to place the foreign user on the proper access control list. For example, if MIT, UMich, and Stanford were engaging in a joint development project, it might be enough to simply create a directory on one of the Universities' AFS servers, and place each of the developers from the three schools on that directory's AFS Access Control List. We note that since many applications are file-based, inter-realm AFS will likely be very useful in solving the general inter-institutional operation problem. There are some issues with the key exchange, however. The first one is the so-called "n-squared (n**2) problem of key exchange". This has to do with the fact that every site has to perform key exchange with every other site with which they wish to interact. Thus the cost of adding another institution to the "key exchange community" increases proportionally to the square of the number of sites. An additional aspect to this is being able to perform the key exchange in a secure and certifiable manner. I.e. do we know that we are indeed working with the legitimately responsible person of an institution that is joining the group? Has the key been tampered with in transit? Is it the legitimate key (even though we're dealing with the correct person)? We note, though, that we can mitigate these issues if we have a secure email infrastructure; using PGP, for example. This could support authentication of the person supplying the key (and accepting all of ours), plus authentication and integrity guarantees of the keys themselves and privacy for them in transit. The second key exchange issue is that in Kerberos V4, it is relatively easy for application writers to forget to make their programs check the realm information which is returned by Kerberos. If such buggy application programs are in use, then enabling Kerberos inter-realm authentication may expose some security holes which had not been previously visible. An example of such a problem was found in early Post Office Protocol servers deployed in Athena, which only checked the username of the ticket, and not the instance or realm portion of the Kerberos name. Unfortunately, the API of Kerberos V4 makes it relatively easy for application writers to overlook the other portions of the Kerberos name, and thus forget to check them for appropriateness. Fortunately, this deficiency is corrected in the Kerberos V5 API, since the entire Kerberos principal is returned in a single abstract data type thus lowering the odds of such bugs occuring. While most "Kerberized" applications which have been distributed on the net should not have this problem, sites who participate in key exchange may wish to examine and/or test their in-use applications to ensure correct behavior, and ensure that on-going and future in-house development activities take this into account. Requirements on the solutions: ------------------------------ 1. This work must not impede, and hopefully will enable, current work on enabling location-independent network access -- e.g. Bitnet3. See Appendix 2 for discussion and pointers to more information. 2. This work should enable the secure linkage of inter-institutional applications (e.g. for transcript exchange, for student info exchange, to support research applications, etc.) However, this type of requirement depends on the nature of the applications and the desired manner of linkage. They are specific instances of the more general case of having inter-institutional authentication and will have to be approached on a case-by-case basis once we've addressed the general case. Achievable Goals -- Summary: ---------------------------- 1. Near term (within 6 months) Execute proof-of-concept demonstration. See below. 2. Intermediate term -- by September 1995 perform: A. Provide for secure and attributable exchange of email and files. work towards having PGP key certification and distribution between institutions. B. Promote the exchange of Kerberos inter-realm keys. (Some of our institutions may already share Kerberos keys already.) C. Investigate and move towards installing AFS software which can support inter-realm authentication, and enable it. Some development work here may be required, to fold together the various aklog/cklog programs so that there can be one program that works for all sites (currently, if you want to authenticate to MIT AFS servers, you have to use aklog. If you want to do inter-realm authentication to a cell using a kaserver, you have to use cklog, etc.). D. Support location-independent network access (see Appendix 2) 3. Long term -- by September 1996 have in place: A. inter-realm authentication utilizing DCE Security? B. interoperable directory services (e.g., X.500 and DCE Directory Service)? C. cross-institutional authorization groups? Achievable Goals -- approaches and issues: ------------------------------------------ Goal A: MIT's approach to PGP CA issues is their kerberos-mediated PGP key-signing service. This service works in the following manner... The service will accept Kerberos authentications and sign a user's PGP keys. This will allow the users to generate PGP keys, and as long as they have Kerberos credentials, and the name in their PGP key matches their principle name in their Kerberos credentials, it will sign the PGP key, thus giving that key some minimal amount of trust. We recommend that each site run a similar Kerberos-mediated PGP key signing server. (Source code will be available from MIT). Each site's PGP key signing server will have its own public/private key pair, and at least initially each site will cross-certify each other's PGP key signing keys. Later on, we can look into setting up a higher-level certifying authority, possibly run under the auspices of Educom --- but that's something which doesn't need to be considered until after the initial phase of deployment. Goal B: We need to carefully investigate the ramifications to existing services and applications before widely using, as noted in the discussion above. The inter-realm key exchange should ideally leverage off of the work produced to satisfy Goal A. This is needed in order to ensure that the exchanges occur in a secure, attributable fashion without requiring face-to-face meetings of the Kerberos administrators (The old method of exchanging keys on the back of fortune cookie messages after eating lunch or dinner at a chinese restaurant works, but it requires a travel budget). Goal A - detailed issues: We can forsee, though, that even in the academic institution world, there will likely be needs for differing trust levels and assurances. For example, transcripts might require a less (or at least different) trust level than the exchange of financial information. And loose collaboration between researchers might be yet different. Another set of issues are the ones revolving around client tools (e.g. email user agents) and their user interfaces and how well they incorporate and utilize PK concepts. For example, the information presented to the user as to who signed a given secure message must be presented out-of-band (e.g. in a separate dialog box) because it can otherwise be "faked out" by including the appropriate text in the original message. Additionally, we note that this assumes that the client user interface is relatively secure. Dialog boxes can be faked up as well---though that's more difficult to do that faking the look of a signed message. Another example is how to handle supposedly "secure" messages that are originated outside of the user's trust domain. The user should receive some sort of notification on this. PGP is just now gaining steam. Not many free/shareware apps yet incorporate it, much less address the raft of UI issues. This will need to be addressed in the context of making it a useful underlying technology for our common users. We'll have different PK certification schemes on our campuses due to PK (typically RSA-based) being incorporated into various off-the-shelf products (e.g. lotus notes, MacOS Pro (aoce), etc.). How can we make it as seamless as possible for the individual end user? do we need to? Goal B - detailed issues: There are additional issues in that AFS's kaserver may not support inter-realm authentication (depending upon version of AFS in use). Thus institutions may have to upgrade or patch their AFS code in order to participate (and additionally modify various client tools such as "klog"). The inter-realm functionality is alegedly operational in recent 3.3 releases, and Transarc does _not_ support it. However, CMU depends heavily on inter-realm AFS continuing to work, and Transarc seems well-disposed to at least not break it in future releases. See Appendix 3. Not many vendor-supplied apps speak Kerberos today. There is a lack of a Kerberos standard API for PC and Macintosh environments. Differing security infrastructures among our institutions -- there's considerable inertia here since we all have non-trivial, operational infrastructures: MIT is currently using Kerberos V4 servers, with a V5 server as a slave server. They will soon be transitioning to running a V5 server as the master server. The V5 servers will support V4 requests as a backwards compatibility measure, and they anticiate that they will have to keep the backwards compatibility support in place for a relatively long time. Stanford is running Transarc's AFS 3.3 (krb v4) kaserver, as is UMich. Note that UMich is looking at how to best support KerbIV, KerbV, and DCE security services in a single cell/realm. OS environment issues: (example - user interface issue) if I go poke around in /afs/ directories with "ls -l", and there are files tagged with UIDs that happen to match UIDs in my local password file, then the files are falsely displayed as belonging to those local users. Will DFS have this same issue? (yes). It will cause some level of background noise among the user community. Ultimately, it should be addressed by the operating system vendors modifying their client tools (ls, tar, etc.) to use a different lookup on file ownership. There are probably other such examples of where various facets of the OS environment, and perhaps also the application environment, won't behave with strictly correct semantics in the inter-realm case. UMich uses the "uniqname" service to hand out unique kerberos principles -- i.e. it's a tool for establishing a common name space across the whole campus. Where it might be relevant for inter-realm is in reserving names we need to or desire to keep unique across institutions (e.g., as the process that exchanges transcripts). This would be covered by "cross-institutional authorization groups" listed under long term goals. Proof-of-concept demonstration: ------------------------------- First, perform inter-realm key exchange "by hand" between some of our institutions and test functionality, e.g. by manipulating files in each other's AFS filing hierarchy. Next, deploy experimental kerberos-mediated PGP key-signing services, cross-certifying each other's PGP key signing keys. Then exchange signed & sealed email between individuals at separate institutions. Overall Issues: --------------- (in no particular order) Authorization: There's presently no real standards for a common authorization service, tho DCE has explicit provisions. Its probably not an issue for a particular authorization service implementation to be common among the institutions because it probably wouldn't be contacted directly by clients, but rather by the services the clients are trying to access. Secure local login: UMich is looking at using Security Dynamic's SecurID cards, though they are not yet integrated with Kerberos (they are waiting for the vendor to complete that work). Stanford is using S/Key ad-hoc internally, as is MIT. MIT has discussed having the S/Key response-to-challenge algoritm put on a card, although it's not something that they are currently actively pursuing. Technology Maturity & penetration: DCE continues to evolve. DCE 1.1 and 1.2 will have various features which will help facilitate cooperative inter-realm authentication. Some of these are easily moving principals from one cell to another, delegation, multi-crypto support (to negotiate among difference available crypto systems), public key-based authentication, multi-cell groups, etc. Architecting, deploying, and managing internal and inter-realm security domains could be aided by ubiquitous, multi-vendor DCE support. Vendors cooperation and buy-in: We believe we need to lobby the vendors, providing them with white papers, security requirements, etc. in order to encourage them to put more emphasis and resources on cooperatively addressing global security issues. We believe that collectively we (end users) can make a difference, especially as the commercial end users are getting better educated about these issues. For example, we are getting RSA-derived services from Apple AOCE, Lotus Notes, Novell Netware, etc. However, these systems enforce varying levels of security and aren't interoperable. Some specific examples (courtesy Ted Hanss)... 1. We need a single login to client workstations (which will encompass our own applications along with environments from Banyan, Novell, Apple, Microsoft, etc.). This has to be done without lowering the overall security environment. For example, I'm not a fan of Apple's AOCE keychain approach to single login. In our work on Netware to DCE integration we intend to provide Kerberos tickets for Netware file service and not "batch" together the two logins just behind a modified client login program. 2. We need a way to raise the security levels of individual hosts. For example, putting a public key-enabled email package on a Mac when the user interface isn't secure just invites spoofed alerts being presented to the user. (E.g., the Mac hack done last year that presented users with an alert OK'ing each AOCE digital signature regardless of whether or not it was authentic.) References ---------- [Zimmerman] PGP documentation. Available at... Appendicies ----------- Appendix 1: Issues with X.500 style distinguished names. X.500-style distinguished names suffer from two problems. The first is that they are clumsy. An example X.500 style distinguished name might be: /C=United States of America/SP=Massachusetts/OU=Massachusetts Institute of Technology/OU=MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory/CN=Richard Stallman In contrast, the equivalent DNS/Internet style rendition of the same name would be: "". While the X.500-style name is much more understandable and readable, it is much harder to type in, and it doesn't fit very well on a business card. Proponents of X.500-style names argue that users are never supposed to type in an X.500 name --- instead, they are supposed to get them from X.500 directories. Unfortunately, very few sites actually have X.500 directories installed, and many of the sites that do have X.500 directories running are doing so only on an experimental basis, and may not have all of their users registered with the server. (However, we note that it is certainly possible to deploy a production X.500 server since UMich has done so based on the ISODE distribution. All campus faculty, staff, and students are registered within it (almost 100,000 individuals). It runs under high load, handling approximately 300,000 transactions/day.) Even if the X.500 servers were widely deployed, however, the dependency on the X.500 protocol adds a sigificant amount of complexity to user agents that try to support PEM. In particular, the user interface requirements are much more demanding; a GUI is almost an entry-level requirement, so that the user can point and click on the appropriate distriguished name after the application has contacted the X.500 server and performed an X.500 query. And, of course, systems that do not have direct access to the Internet will not be able to access the X.500 servers. The second problem with the X.500-style names is that they are incompatible with Internet email addresses. That is, there is no way to programatically transform "" to: /C=United States of America/SP=Massachusetts/OU=Massachusetts Institute of Technology/OU=MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory/CN=Richard Stallman This "impedence mismatch" introduces additional complexity into a prospective PEM client, and additional opportunities for security breaches, since the client must keep a secure mapping between the complex X.500 names and the standard Internet email addresses. Note that these issues are ones which arise out of how PEM (or any other similar application, such as X.400 mail) depends upon X.500 Distinguished Names. This does not necessarily indicate that we cannot usefully utilize the X.500 directory service as a part of our overall distributed infrastructure --- merely that we may not want to use the X.500 as part of how we name individuals. Appendix 2: location-independent network access If we can obtain full network access, when on the road for example, then it is usually a fairly simple matter to authenticate directly to our home institution and utilize both real-time and store-and-forward resources. Bitnet3, sponsored by CREN, is work-in-progress towards this goal. See... ..for an architectural overview. Cornell, Prinction, the CREN office in DC, and UMich are all working together on this, and are currently experimenting in a test mode. Cornell will be doing some of the billing & accounting, but it is still being designed and developed. Sometimes people who are visiting and working temporarily at another institution need to utilize that institution's workstation(s) for network (and home institution) access. Having procedures and technology that enable the generation of temporary IDs/accounts for this situation is desirable. UMich's Uniqname system is an example of a solution. More information about it can be found at... /afs/ Another approach to this might be, given an inter-realm authentication would be for the host institution to enable one to log onto given workstations utilizing their foreign (i.e. home) ID -- that is, they qualify it with their home realm. Then they may access their home institution resources with their usual privileges. Issues: MIT is planning on deploying Xyplex terminal servers to address this issue - they have raw Kerberos support built in. Thus there is skew among our institutions on solutions. Appendix 3: inter-realm auth and AFS Hdate: Wed, 21 Sep 1994 13:24:48 +0500 HFrom: Theodore Ts'o HTo: authppg@list.Stanford.EDU Hin-reply-to: Jeff Hodges's message of Fri, 16 Sep 94 14:17:56 -0700, Hsubject: Re: Revamped authppg report skeleton #3 OK. I've talked to our internal AFS experts as well as talking to Wally from CMU. Here's the story as I understand it. * Transarc does _not_ support the interrealm AFS code; however they have merged in the changes from CMU, and there does seem to be interest within Transarc not to break what's already there. * While there were bugs (byte-order problems) in 3.2 and early 3.3 versions, these are supposedly fixed in recent 3.3 releases from Transarc. Wally believes that the stuff from Transarc should just work. * Transarc does not provide any clients, though. You have to pick up a new utility "cklog", found in: /afs/ if you are using a kaserver, or you have to get a copy of MIT's aklog if you want to authenticate using a traditional Kerberos server. * Activating the the interrealm support does not give foreign users access to directories restricted to system:authuser --- instead, they are automatically placed into the magic group system:authuser@KERBEROS.REALM.

Apparently, Nobody Really Cares in the End...

Tuesday, June 28, 2005

9:29PM - ug

ok. I*m in New Orleans and I don*t want to hear stupid shit. I*m tired and will be running around with my baby cousins and going to work. How fun. Really..it is fun. Freaky story...

I was in the French Quarter yesterday w/ my Uncle*s sister Elsha and we were going back to the car. We were walking up hill and I was pushing the stroller w/ Grantster in it and there was this guy on a bike behind us. He whistled and we thought A. the guy was tired or B. He wanted to let us know that he was passing. As he was passing he was looking back and smiling at me...AT ME!!! WHO THE HELL DOES THAt?!?!?!?!?! Elsha and I were like...wtf...I hope he runs into a pole. That didn*t happen though. But it would*ve been funny if the guy ran into a pole. Now Elsha calls me the dirty girl. haha. w/e. idk. I start painting the house tomarow...which means that I*ll be getting tanned, learning how to paint properly, and get paid. hehe.

I*m tired and have been for the past week cuz of swim camp (prision camp as Robert knows it). I really don*t need to be checking all yalls stuff and hear all this LJ drama. It gets really annoying.

With that said I*m going to bed. Couch all the way...

I miss yalls and I*m tired...

4:04PM - Opinions wanted....deeply...

You know, I said that I was gonna delete this, but I have no friggin clue how to cuz I*m computer illiterate. so, I have a slight problem/question...

I wanna be a model. A fetish/clothing model. I*m not 18. But I wanna be a model. Timmy doesn*t want me to be one becuase he thinks that I will become anorexic. But I still really wanna be a model. I*m going to try and make a deal w/ him that if I start being anorexic because of modeling, I*ll quit. If you model or know people who model, tell me and also tell me if you know how to try out/audition for it. Or if you think that I have any potential what so ever. Please be honest. I would like to hear bad news first so then I won*t have to waste tyme waiting in line to hear that I can*t model for beans.

Don*t just say "Go for it" just because you are my friend and don*t want to make me feel bad. I need the truth.

Thank you.

I found out some interesting things today...

I got invited to be a member of an Honors Society through German because of my exceptional work in German and all around w/ school. And then my math teacher talked to me about going into honors pre-calc instead of regular pre-calc. I geuss this is the start of me not being the underdog...let*s see what swimming gets me..cuz I*m usually the substitute for other people. Maybe I will actually be in events that are my own!! but w/e..

Oh, and for people wondering if I will ever be friends w/ dana, my answer is NO WAY IN HELL. I will not make the same mistake twice.

my rants are done..

it would be nice if people other than Erin and Alyson commented...but w/e...I*m not picky...so umm....have a nice week I geuss...

Last Night I went to Seder w/ Molly and it was interesting. Her aunt accidently broke the glass set for Elijah w/ the wine bottle..it was funny. Then the sparkling water exploded while she was trying to open it. It was CRAZY. And then I slept over her house and we talked until like 2:30 or something. Then we ate Matah bry (I think that*s how you spell it) and it was sooo good. Then we just talked and I braided her hair again. Then around 3 my mum picked me up and she was nicer to me which releived me a lot. So now I have to face hw and my tummy is starting to hurt again. Tyme to eat cerael. Then Yoga..then hanging out..then chill alone..then at 12 hw..

I geuss I*ll update.

I have a cellular

haha... I puked so hard that I popped a lot of my blood vessels in my face..but I thought I was gonna die in the bathroom too

Went out to a fancy Italian restraunt (well it was a nice restraunt...not like glitzy fancy spancy but really nice) w/ Tim and I paid. It was fun

Parents won*t leave me and Tim alone ever...pisses me off...cuz I*m 16 and legal..it*s not like we are going to do anything like that while they are home...idiots..

Tomarow I*m going over Molly*s house for Passover..it will be FUN!!!

ok. I haven*t updated in a while because my mum broke my computer and last night I got it back from repairs. These past two weekends have been hectic, my birthday was nice, New Orleans was fun and I wish I could have stayed longer as usual. I figured out that most likely I will be missing finals AGAIN this year due to Blue Lake..I am having second thoughts about that.
Yesterday I got back from Toronto for band. We did pretty well, got a superior rating for full orchestra I think and ecellent ratings on the bands. It was really really fun.

The whole point of the update is not about what is going on w/ me, but what has happened. Over the weekend, Patrick Ryan died. He lived down the street from me and always took care of Daisy (our Newfie). He would always ride his bike around everywhere and was very friendly and talked to everybody. He was very very nice. It will be very hard knowing now that there will be no more friendly conversations with him or anything. Please if you can, just take a moment to reflect on someone that you know that is extremly kind and nice that you possibly do or do not see often. If you knew Patrick Ryan, remember him and hope that he is in a better place.

That is all for now because I will start crying again.

Friday is my 16th year of being here...

Kevin had 2 games today...and both games were won...by a lot. The first game they had to give the other team a lot of penalty shots because they wanted to make it fair. We won 7-2 I think..then the second game we won against this really annoying team that we lost to yesterday...and they didn*t score any goals...5-0 or 6-0...it was really exciting. So now my brother is getting ready for the ending banquet...that means that this is almost over. Then I get to go swimming because no one would be in the pool cuz of the banquet. w00t. then tomarow I will make sure people get up early so we can leave early. I geuss that won*t happen. No hanging out tomarow because I have to finish homework.

Why am I the only one that tells everyone that I*m taken?

I geuss I could update to pass the tyme away:

Today while I was observing people, I found that my dad favours Mike..over all kids..and it shows too. My mum told me during Kevin*s third game that she was so proud of me for coming and that I was everything that she ever wanted...except the goth stuff...(what goth stuff?). It was a great feeling...knowing that I was actually worth something to one of my parents. wow. anywayz.. I was talking to my mum...the first tyme really that I had a decent convo w/ her...about anything..it*s great cuz she*s more accepting of my friends and of Tim most of all. I just wish that I*m not alone most of the tyme...I really don*t like it.  but anywayz...

I*m coming home Sunday..

and for the last tyme..

I*M IN CANADA UNTIL SUNDAY that*s when I*ll be home. and I know that I*m missing out in a lot of  stuff at home...I love you Tim..and I miss you..

9:23PM - soo...bored..

sooo...it*s quite boring here. Tonight was the opening ceremony..and it took forever. There were all these people giving speeches and saying pretty much the same thing. It just furiated me cuz it took so long and very few were good speakers. I really miss people right now. I hope tomarow goes by fast and Saturday too..as selfish as that sounds..but I really miss people...especially Timmy and Alyson. I drove most of the way...yeah..I fucking drove in CANADA!!! w00t! and my dad was being an ass and my mum got pissed at him cuz he was being obnoxious. I really idk..wanna be home cuz I know no one here and there are too many people here. If I*m driving I*m gonna drive hella fast so I can just finish up stuff and enjoy being at home. I*m in Mississasauga (I think that how you spell it)

And swimming is much better than Hockey...the Canadians are wrong on that part..;)

I love you Tim...

For Tim onlyCollapse )

Current mood: crappy

(2 roses | Leave a rose)

so um..I should be leaving soon...but it*s not gonna happen..Kevin*s tournement starts today I think. But the latter we leave the less tyme we get to spend at the science muesem..see I don*t mind it...it*s just the fact that we go there pretty much EVERY tyme we go to Toronto as a family...and we would be spending three hours there too..GAR! that tyme could be spent shopping or w/e.

Yeah...I still need a job. I*ll just give up and work in the village ;_; but when I get a car and enough money I*m gonna switch to retail and work in the mall! w00t! I*ll have money then to go to Cosmotology school and pay my way into college or something. Save up for plane tickets. idk nemore...

But I do know a couple of things...

My laundry is done finally and there is someone at the door..

And I love Timmy very much..
and I hope Alyson feels better very soon...

2:35PM - reflecting..

wow...I just realized how much I miss DYC swimming and stuff...even though I wasn*t really part of the "group" but it was still lots of fun. and I forgot how much I missed everyone too. wow. Come to think of it...I started being who I was then. geez. That*s the place where I met the love of my life too. damn. It*s like I took it all for granted almost...I use to hate going down to the DYC because I was so lonely and there was nothing to do there for me...until I met Brieanne, Gabi and Elena. Then Alyson. wow. I even had my first boyfriend through there too...damn. I really miss the summer. I hope that I can do more things now too...damn. DAMN! It*s so wierd. I wish I tried harder too to make it to states. wow. I really wish I kept in touch w/ them too, cuz it kinda hurt when they reconized me but didn*t really want anything to do w/ me. I geuss I should just close that chapter in my life and move on, but it*s hard. ahh well, I*ll find Bri*s number and give her a call...hopefully that I won*t forget. I wish I wasn*t afraid of cameras...

that wasn*t suppose to be a rant so I*m sorry for those who are offended

Current mood: thoughtful

(Leave a rose)

Well, ummm...HI!...ohoh! this is what my Saturday w/ the Muffums was like...

I came over to her house at like 11:15 and I DROVE there!! w00t! Then I had a Kosher Pastry...I can*t remember what it was called but it was really good and in the shape of a triangle w/ fruit filling...Brenden...do you know what it*s called? Then I helped fix a chair but that didn*t work out too well...at least it can slide now. Then I braided Molly*s hair...talked...looked at pictures and talked some more...Then Brenden called and the three of us were suppose to hang out but then Brenden couldn*t cuz he couldn*t get a ride to Royal Oak. So then Molly and I checked to see what the showings were for "Schultze gets the blues" and we had a fast lunch which I almost died because the Thai noodles were hot along w/ spicy. But it was soooo goood! After the movie...which is pretty good cuz it was pretty much in all German w/ English subtitles, but kinda haltingly...we went to this Ice Cream parlor then waited for Molly*s mum at Barnes and Nobles. Her parents had to go and pick up Rosie right away so while we were waiting we watched home videos and made fun of them...well..sorta...then Molly played her piece that she played at competition then the one that she played for the talent show..It was very fun. We also tried inviting Jack and Brenden over but neither could come. wow...I really do  miss that place...

Yesterday was Easter .:eggs thrown cuz it was too obvious:. and I woke up at 9...then I read the book in my basket...I have a book on how to get thru cosmotology and another on how to do Henna...and a new Tarot deck! We skipped church because I took so long in the shower (YESSSS!!! oh..sorry) then at 1:30ish I DROVE yet again to my Grandparents nursing home. It was very entertaining...Mandy is trying to make an anology of what happens in a parking lot happen in a freeway...alrighty then..but it was sad because I couldn*t really talk w/ Robert and Luna for very long. (;_;) but it was funny hearing the adults talk...cuz all the uncles do is burn eachother...my grandpa told this funny anti Bush Joke...then we came home and I read, napped, watched Pirates of the Carribean for the thousandth tyme and called Timmy...now I can*t wait til he gets up cuz we get to hang out! yay! Yeah...this post is really really long.....sooo....ummm....GOOD MORNING!

Movie Review: The Cold Light of Day

Sep 13, 2012

The Cold Light of Day is just a plateful of same-old same-old.  Don’t expect anything better just because Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver are in it, because they are strictly support players and must have fallen on bad days to be in such warmed over mashed potatoes as this.  One would think they would have had enough clout to insist on at least colorful character roles.

In the beginning, Henry Cavill’s less-than-promising reunion with his father, Willis, and the rest of his estranged family on a weeklong let’s-get-along-again vacation in Europe suggests promise of something a little new in thrillers, but the theme is dropped almost instantly and what seeds of development it suggests never come to anything.  Cavill is away shopping when the entire family and their sailboat disappear, and Cavill goes into a kind of combination tantrum and panic attack that writers Scott Wiper and John Petro and director Mabrouk El Mechri find exciting.  Almost no investigation is required to find the boat, and the rest of The Cold Light of Day takes little time out from attacks and captures and escapes and rescues and car chases and foot chases and general gunfiring for anything you would call a plot.  The guns sound like howitzers and feature muzzle flares, and the beatings up, usually of helpless people, are such as would fracture jaws and probably break necks, but never accomplish much.  There’s a very pretty heroine, but such was my absorption that I lost track of her entirely and can’t inform you about what became of her.  Nick of the time rescues come by way of shots from off the screen by characters we didn’t know were there, but nothing rescues us from The Cold Light of Day.  Spare yourself.

End of an era

Well, with Anne delivering the artwork to Headway Knit a Neuron must draw to a close. We've had an amazing couple of years meeting so many interesting people who have taken the time to knit, knatter and create neurons. Neurons have travelled in from all over the world, the artwork's been up and down the UK and now has a proud home at Headway.

While Knit a Neuron is ending, other woolly science projects abound. From Stitch London's fantastic weekend at the Science Museum, the British Society of Immunology project The Big Knit: Multiple Sclerosis and just today I've heard from someone wanting to set up a craft science charity. There are others - too many to mention!

We'd like to take this chance to thank everyone who's been involved with Knit a Neuron. It's a project that could only happen with the support, energy and enthusiasm of people all over the world. It's been a great honour to be part of such a great project - we hope you feel the same way too.

We won't continue to update this blog, however we hope that it can remain here for a while to serve as record of a unique woolly science project.

Now then, where did put that chemistry crochet...

Knit a Neuron reaches its new home!

I'm sure that all KAN Fans will be please to hear that the artwork created out of our wonderful selection of donated, knitted neurons has now been presented to the ‘Headway’ centre in Henley-on-Thames, which will be its final home. Headway is a national charity that, “works to improve life after brain injury”. The Henley centre runs a day care program of physical and cognitive therapy and provides vital support to sufferers and carers affected by head injury.

Anne visited Headway on 21 November to present the artwork. She also spoke about the project, brain injury research going on in Bristol, and answered lots of questions on neuroscience (and other things besides!). Anne had a great day, enjoying the opportunity to meet and chat with all the clients in that day. Some had knitted their own neurons, and all of them were very interested in seeing the artwork depicting brain injury. One lady, Jane, was particularly thrilled with it as a brain haemorrhage had damaged her sight, but she could feel all the neurons and make out the colours.

The KAN neurons are now installed as a wall hanging in one of the rooms at Headway that is used for therapy or as a quiet space by clients.

Big thanks to everyone at Headway for welcoming KAN and giving it a new home!
