Traffic Crashes Continue Downward Trend

Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that the number of vehicle crashes in the City continues to decrease. The City's 2011 Crash Study shows that 7,673 crashes were reported in Lincoln compared to 7,710 reported in 2010 and 7,738 reported in 2009.

"Lincoln's size has now reached 91 square miles, and the number of registered vehicles in Lancaster County is up to a quarter million," Beutler said. "But despite our continued growth, our streets are safer for traffic. The City's Transportation Safety Improvement Program that began in 1979 has focused on engineering, enforcement and education. It is important that we continue this program that has made such a significant difference in the number and severity of crashes."

The Mayor also credited the City's drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists for their focus on safety. The 2012 "America's Best Drivers Report" from Allstate Insurance ranks Lincoln as the safest driving city among those with populations of 250,000 or more. Lincoln ranks fifth overall among all cities.

The study evaluated 1,322 intersections, and 94 emerged as "high crash" intersections. The crash rate is determined both by the number of crashes and their severity. The analysis showed that more than 60 percent of all intersection-related crashes occurred at signalized intersections. The ten signalized intersections with the highest crash severity rankings are listed below along with any improvements completed, under way or planned:

Miki Esposito, Director of the Public Works and Utilities Department, said the 2011 crash report will be a guide for allocating limited local resources. She said it also will help the City to aggressively compete for and secure Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds. To date, the City has successfully competed for and secured an estimated $11 million of HSIP funds to supplement local street construction dollars for safety improvements. HSIP-funded projects in various stages of implementation include the following:

Other results from the 2011 Crash Report include the following:

Stevie Diamond was born out of my lifelong affection for mystery novels. She's a 12-year-old girl detective, living in Vancouver — smart, fearless, funny, and not exactly Nancy Drew. Did Nancy have to do homework before she solved the crime? Did she have to chase crooks on her bicycle? Struggling with such unfair obstacles, Stevie and her partner, Jesse Kulniki, manage to solve seven cases so tough, even the police are stumped.

The Stevie Diamond books are published in Canada and the U.S. by Kids Can Press and have also been published in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., France, Greece, Lithuania and Poland.

How Can a Frozen Detective Stay Hot on the Trail?

Stevie and Jesse are visiting Winnipeg in December when Jesse's teenaged uncle, Misha, is accused of stealing valuable carnivorous plants. Stevie is happy to help, but with sub-zero temperatures, prairie blizzards and a squeamish partner, it won't be easy.

"It's loaded with snappy dialogue, humorous plot twists, and oddball characters, and the carnivorous plant plot is refreshingly offbeat."  Horn Book Guide

"It takes you off the edge of the couch! I didn't like it when it ended because it was SUCH a good story." cbc4kids.com

What's a Serious Detective Like Me Doing in Such a Silly Movie?

Stevie is serious about being discovered as a movie star - enough to get herself and Jesse onto a film set as extras. But acting soon gives way to detecting as a series of suspicious accidents threaten to shut down the whole production.

Shortlist, Atlantic Provinces Hackmatack Award, 2004

"When Stevie gets to be an extra in a film, she stumbles onto a mystery filled with lights, cameras - and lots of action! An exciting new book in the award-winning series."  Vancouver Sun

Title: Future Directions in Applied Linguistics
Subtitle: Local and Global Perspectives
Published: 2012
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing

The field of applied linguistics covers a diverse range of research and practice, and has developed somewhat differently in various parts of the world due to variations in local socio-cultural conditions, needs and issues. However, this local diversity does not reflect a field that is incoherent, but rather one which has a broad, shared international agenda which is invigorated by the diversity brought to the field by local perspectives. The papers in this volume represent some of the major global directions that research in applied linguistics is taking and shed light on how language is used to affect practice.

The aim of this volume is to explore some of the key methods and issues which are guiding applied linguistics into the future through an examination of these issues in local contexts, thereby providing a basis for understanding the global directions the field is taking. These directions follow two historically defined paths: those related to educational studies and language teaching, and those related to social issues involving language. In the volume, half the papers focus on the former, examining issues of language teaching, language teacher education and second language acquisition, while the other half examine social issues related to language use, bilingualism and multilingualism, and language policy and planning. The collection of papers presented in this book illustrates how these traditional themes are influenced by the rising forces of globalisation and the use of technology, thus exemplifying both the new and old ways in which the study of language is realised.

Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the 21st Manchester Phonology Meeting (21mfm). The mfm is the UK’s annual phonology conference, with an international set of organisers. It is held in late May every year in Manchester (central in the UK, and with excellent international transport connections). The meeting has become a key conference for phonologists from all over the world, where anyone who declares themselves to be interested in phonology can contribute discussion on anything phonological in any phonological framework. In an informal atmosphere, we discuss a broad range of topics, including the phonological description of languages, issues in phonological theory, aspects of phonological acquisition and implications of phonological change.

Special session: ‘Harmony in Phonology’, featuring:

Andrew Nevins (University College London)
Miklos Torkenczy (Eotvos Lorand University)
Douglas Pulleyblank (University of British Columbia)
Rachel Walker (University of Southern California)

Call for Papers:

This mentions only a few details - please consult the website for full information:

There is no obligatory conference theme for the 21mfm - abstracts can be submitted on anything phonological.

We are using the LINGUIST List’s Easy Abstracts system for abstract submission. Abstracts should be uploaded to the 21mfm’s page on the Easy Abstracts site by 31 January 2013:

Full papers will last around 25 minutes with around 5 minutes for questions, and there will be a high-profile poster session lasting one and a half hours. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether you would be prepared to present your work (i) either as a talk or a poster paper or (ii) only as a poster.

We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by early March, and we will contact all those who have sent abstracts as soon as the decisions have been made.

Further important details concerning abstract submission are available on the conference website. Please make sure that you consult these before submitting an abstract:

text: $0$0$0$0$$0$0 CHEAP TRUTH 3 $0$0$0$0$0$0$ EDITORIAL. It has come to our attention that unscrupulous black marketeers have been retailing copies of CHEAP TRUTH at astronomical prices, some going as high as twelve to thirteen cents. The situation is especially bad in Eastern Bloc countries, where the CHEAP TRUTH distribution network has been penetrated by KGB and Bulgarian agents provocateurs, who take advantage of desperate shortages of SF criticism to hike the underground price from one American cigarette to as high as two or even three. We suggest therefore that readers who cannot get pirated copies (or who cannot access the samizdata On-Line edition on SMOF-BBS, 512-836-7663) write directly to the CHEAP TRUTH offices, sending a dollar with their address and nom de guerre (or nom de telematique). New issues will be forthcoming. ** BARRINGTON BAYLEY RETROSPECTIVE ** Justice must be done for Barrington J. Bayley. His manifest virtues cry out for vindication. Bayley has been neglected too long. Despite his steady production, he is best known in America, when known at all, for his ten-year-old work in NEW WORLDS. The legacy of those days (THE KNIGHTS OF THE LIMITS, Barrington Bayley, Fontana-Collins, 95p.) makes astonishing reading. It reminds one that the power of British New Wave was not due to its decalcifying treatment of sex or the fact that much of its readership was stoned. Those ephemera blew away with the hash fumes over Ladbroke Grove. What is left is sheer visionary intensity, which Bayley has always had and displays today even more vigorously. "The Ur-Plant" is Bayley's latest story, in INTERZONE, which is NEW WORLDS' successor in British SF's valiant struggle for Arts Council grants. Bayley's story stands out in this somewhat precious magazine like a cactus among balloons. Bayley writes science fiction with the natural fluency of a man who can't help it. He has the ineffable, unfakeable genius of a true SF visionary: of Wells, Stapledon, and Ballard; of Bester, Dick, and Farmer. Small things do not content this man. He is tooling along in second gear if he does not blow your mind ten times in eighteen pages. He is at home re-inventing the nature of space-time, stretching the limits of consciousness, reassembling reality. He leaps past the jugular and deep into the frontal lobes. Bayley is the Zen master of modern space opera. He has the wild power of E. E. Smith, without Smith's pathetic illiteracy or gross provincialism. The magazines of the '30's might have been titled to describe Bayley's work: Amazing, Startling, Fantastic, Weird. This tie to traditionalism may explain why his novels have been published by DAW: THE PILLARS OF ETERNITY, THE FALL OF CHRONOPOLIS, THE GRAND WHEEL, STAR WINDS, THE GARMENTS OF CAEAN, COLLISION COURSE. Yet Bayley's elemental energy, his mastery of the sense of wonder, cannot be denied. His work is the very antithesis of tired hackdom. To invent an entire self-consistent cosmology and physics for a $2.50 DAW paperback (THE ZEN GUN, 1983) is one of those noble acts of selfless altruism that keep SF alive. There seems no limit to the man's inventiveness, his pyrotechnic bursts of fresh ideas. To these natural gifts, enough to sustain a dozen lesser writers, he adds an intense dedication to craft that gives his best work its eerie sense of dark complexity. To read a work like "The Cabinet of Oliver Naylor" is to be simultaneously enlightened and bewildered, to receive a Zen knock on the head; it is the literary equivalent of psilocybin. It is, in fact, why science fiction was invented. It was not a historical accident that science fiction first entered mass consciousness in a welter of garish colors and howling verbal excess. SF is the enemy of normality, the antidote to bored sophistication and know-it-all over-refinement. If SF, in outgrowing its native vulgarity, also loses its ability to stun, it will have sold its birthright for a mess of pottage. At this point SF can commit any literary crime but boredom; any crime, that is, except the one that is now killing the mainstream. In all respects, Barrington Bayley's hands are clean. $0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$ INTERVIEW WITH THE MARTYR 0$0$$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$ We got hold of H. P. Lovecraft. Never mind how. There are things in the Cross Plains Dairy Queen that are best left unspoken. At any rate we had the gentleman in the CHEAP TRUTH offices in late March, 1983 -- some 46 years after his death. Lovecraft was dressed in a cruddy-looking black wrinkled suit with a skinny tie and celluloid collar. His nose was sunburned. He looked rather pasty and gaunt -- we had called him up from about 1935, when his diet of graham crackers and canned spaghetti was definitely beginning to kill him. CT: Mr. Lovecraft -- may we call you Eich-Pi-El? -- this is a great pleasure. Please, just toss the cat out of the chair, there, and have a seat. HPL: I wouldn't dream of disturbing puss. He's a fine, swart beast, isn't he? (Spectrally) The cat is cousin to the Sphynx, but remembers secrets she has long forgotten. CT: Far out. Can I get you anything? A beer, maybe? HPL: Liquor has never passed my lips. CT: Some coffee? HPL: That would be splendid. With five sugars, please. (sips) Very good. This costs five cents a cup, you know. Quite a sum when you're living on seventeen cents a day. I made quite a science out of poverty, in my last days. But I was never a -- businessman. You can't make a businessman out of a corpse. CT: Please, have all you like. The Cheap Truth publishing empire covers the globe. That's one of the reasons we called you up, Eich-Pi-El. You are, after all, the paragon -- the very archetype of the starving science fiction writer. Were you aware that your premature death would set the model for an entire lifestyle? HPL: Actually, no. I died with the firm conviction that my work would be completely eclipsed, swept out with the rest of the illiterate pulp trash. I knew what was good, you see. I read Proust, Willa Cather, Theodore Dreiser. I knew what was good, and what was cheap garbage. CT: And yet you died in pursuit of your art. HPL: (shrugs) At that point it really didn't matter much. I had reached the culmination of my philosophy -- what I called psychological self-annihilation. I saw things from a cosmic perspective. The tragedy of one atom -- even if it was myself -- was simply irrelevant. CT: Destroy desire and you destroy unhappiness, is that it? HPL: Exactly. CT: But that's Buddhism. Classic Buddhist enlightenment, in fact. All that ascetic discipline of yours -- HPL: (bristles) What? The spineless fatalism of the Hindu? I'm the scion of blue-eyed Nordic conquerors. CT: (uncomfortably) OK, that's cool. Is it true that you and Clark Ashton Smith used to call Hugo Gernsback "Hugo the Rat"? HPL: Yes. But we never hated him as much as we despised that crawling horror, Farnsworth Wright. He starved us, cheated us. He rejected my best work. He made his magazine into a pigsty for cheap scribblers. My stories appeared cheek by jowl with truss ads. Was it any wonder that I began to write letters instead? (Begins to talk faster and faster) At first dozens, then hundreds, and at last a steady stream of them -- that instead of publishing I wrote everything in longhand? Each time, for an audience of one. A writer MUST speak, even if he has to pay for the privilege in postage and starvation. CT: I understand perfectly, Mr. Lovecraft. May I say that I've always admired you? I suppose that your fiction WAS mostly garbage, but you are more than that -- you're an avatar, a symbol. I wonder how many young writers have found courage in your example. "After all, what's the worst thing that can happen to me if I write SF? At worst, I'll simply die a slow, miserable death by inches like H. P. Lovecraft." You never compromised -- you stayed shabby-genteel to the end, and died without ever doing one single practical thing. Your rejection of the world was total. It was the act of a saint. HPL: Are you Jewish? CT: (startled) No. Thanks for coming, Mr. Lovecraft. HPL: You have a funny swarthy look about you. I can tell you're a dago of some kind. "Omniaveritas" -- what kind of name is that? Not Anglo-Saxon. Let me see the shape of your head -- (He suddenly fades away. He is, after all, dead.) 0$0$0$$0$0$0$0$$0$0$0$0$$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$0$ CHEAP TRUTH On-Line 809-C West 12th Street, Austin, Texas 78701. Vincent Omniaveritas, editing.

students coaching students in the classroom

Math is a subject that calls its participants to a need for accuracy. What are the options when students make mistakes while reasoning mathematically?

Well...if your students are working independently, then the teacher will have a steady journey around the classroom. A journey that involves reteaching and giving the same friendly reminders repeatedly. But there is another option...and one that I definitely prefer! Your students could be working cooperatively and the teacher makes a steady journey around the classroom to observe progress.

From the very first day of school, I train my students to coach either other. The coaching process begins when a math buddy has a question. Students are encouraged to provide one tip to the student...something that will help redirect the learning. If that tip doesn't resolve the issue, then the student is encouraged to provide an additional tip. If the second tip still doesn't resolve the issue, then the student can tell his/her math buddy where and why the mistake occurred and verbalize the accurate solution. However, the math buddy with a question is not "off the hook" because he/she is required to redo the problem.

Yes, there are still questions that I answer while wandering from team to team. But the quantity is significantly reduced. And the best part of the process is that I'm not the only one talking math!

What else do you train your students to do from the very beginning of school?!? I would love to hear your tips and tricks!

Happy Sunday to YOU...make it count!

    I think these are all good ideas.  I don't think we need to keep
separate minor versions so going with a xen-<major ver num> packaging
name would make sense. As PAE is default it further makes sense to make
it the default i386 package and have non-PAE separate.

    From my experience libvirt has appeared stable and I've been
examining Fedora's Xen implementation and utilities that use it. Using
the ld.so.conf.d dir structure will allow us to support different
implementations if any come along so it is a wise forward-thinking decision.

    Beyond that I know I've been absent a lot lately and hoping to start
working to remedy that. Cross-country move and now trying to finish
buying our first house and move into it while on my 3rd new job in 1
year. As soon as I get my devel workstation back online I'll be getting
everything updated and see where I can concentrate on helping to get
back up to speed.

[wp-hackers] Stumped by WordPress' Admin Menus

Mike Schinkel mikeschinkel at newclarity.net
Mon Jan 10 22:32:04 UTC 2011

Hi all,

I'm really hoping one of you can help me solve this problem I am having with the Admin Menu system. Honestly if I didn't know better I'd think that a gremlin was living inside it and actively doing it's best to thwart my every move.

Although there are other issues I've had with the admin menu system (described here[1]) the problem I am having today is that the menu_page seems to inherit the first URL from the submenu_page and no matter what I try I can't get them decoupled. To illustrate the point I've created a very simple example:

function my_admin_menu() {
	global $submenu;
	unset($submenu['edit.php'][5]);    // Remove 'Posts'
	unset($submenu['edit.php'][10]);   // Remove 'Add New'
	$submenu['edit.php'][15][0] = 'Post Categories';
	unset($submenu['edit.php'][16]);   // Remove 'Post Tags'

Here is a screenshot that illustrates the problem:

I was actually able to solve the problem with the following although it's extremely fragile and incredibly hackish; I'm really hoping someone can suggest a more robust alternative:

function my_parent_file($parent_file) {
	return $parent_file;
function my_adminmenu() {
	$menu = ob_get_clean();
	$parts = explode('edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category',$menu);
	$end = array_pop($parts);
	$menu = implode('edit.php',$parts) . 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category' . $end;
	echo $menu;

Looking forward to being told I'm a sod and that there is a much easier way to solve this problem.  Thanks in advance.

P.S. Also, here are two track tickets I added the other day that could potentially address the problem with two different angles if there is no solution:

In this case it doesn't matter but ctime can never be earlier than mtime
and catches some other types of changes like renames, ownership, etc.
Ctime is the time of the last change of the inode, and updating mtime
would be an inode change.

[CentOS] Small proxy appliance hardware

Chuck Munro chuckm at rmtcentral.net
Thu Dec 3 20:22:59 UTC 2009

Regarding a small proxy appliance, my thanks to those who responded
either on this list or by direct email.

We are going to get one of the little Acer AspireRevo 3610 boxes and
give it a try.  It's small, quiet, runs cool, and has more than enough
resources to handle our CentOS proxy application.  It's a shame that we
have to trash the Windows-7 install (a waste of money) but that's life.

The only unanswered question is with regard to an external USB wired
network adapter, so we'll have to go by the data on the various
manufacturers' web sites about Linux support.  Has anyone tried the
Belkin USB2/Gbit, the D-Link DUB-E100 or the Linksys USB300M  devices?
Which adapter chips to they use (in other words, which driver)?

[TenTec] Stuff for sale

Subject: [TenTec] Stuff for sale
From: kd9bo@mac.com (Steve Weber)
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 17:41:21 -0600
Due to recent medical issues, I am reluctantly turning toys into bill
payments.  I thought I would offer this stuff to the my fellow TenTec
fanatics before listing it elsewhere.  I have digital pictures
available.  Just ask and you will receive.

TenTec Omni D upgraded to series B, with 1.8 and 0.5 khz filters and
matching 252 MO power supply and connecting cable.  Xcvr has very
clean front panel and cover, but some creeping crud on the heat sink
and back panel.  Power supply has some paint scrapes on the front
panel, but otherwise very nice and clean.  $500 for the pair with

TenTec 229B roller inductor 2KW tuner.  This is the one styled to
match the original Omni series.  Very nice condition physically and
electrically with no major cosmetic flaws.  $250.

TenTec microphone model 215.  The dark gray banana mic that matches
the Omni B. Pretty clean but the paint is worn off where it drops
into the included desk stand.  The cord outer covering is cracked and
split at the mic end. $50.

TenTec keyer model KA-40.This is a somewhat unique item because it is
essentially the KR-40 without built-in paddles.  It is in the
original box with original documentation and Allied Radio stock
label.  I have never seen another one so it is either rare or just
plain weird!  $50.

TenTec 160 converter model 240.  This is the gadget that puts your
540/544 Triton IV on the top band.  I bought it in a fit of
exuberance, but since I don't have a Triton IV, I can't hook it up to
see if it works.  The guy I bought it from said it works.  If it
doesn't, I will take it back.  $75.

Hi-Mound / Lafayette? bug.  Real nice condition.  A little tarnished
but there is no evidence of damage or repair.  The cover is missing,
but they always are.  $60. New covers are available from Morse
Express for about fifteen bucks.

Heathkit solid state dipper model HD-1250 in original carrying case
with all coils.  Very good condition.  $75 with manual.

Shipping and insurance from NW. Indiana not included.

Selling this stuff will help me continue to indulge in the twin
luxuries of sleeping indoors and eating.

Hi all,
Hi Vince,

if you need to discuss your problem, just send me a private mail and I'll give
you my phone number.
It seems to me you're quite capable in electronics but, by "retour

else can greatly help finding your problem.

You can also try setting NSZombieEnabled environment variable to "YES". This will cause any deallocated object to spam to the console when it has been deallocated and gets sent a message. Once you figure out what the object is, you are in good shape to track it down if you are familiar with the source.

The first line of a docstring should stand on its own (i.e. end with

What for exactly ?  `local-variable-p' should basically never be used,

(if a (progn b c)) can be advantageously replaced with (when a b c).

This is a clear mark of bad Lisp.

If you indent this, it'll jump to column 40.  Use `;;' instead.

I see two problems there...  That is the first platform that is NOT based
on a standard text screen.  I don't know how that will effect the project
or the result.  Also, aren't 16 bit Windows integers 16 bit and all 32 bit

  The default root path for the install of MySQL is /usr/local so the
  include file usually goes into /usr/local/include/mysql.  Evidently,
  something is broken since this is not found by the perl module
  install but as a quick and dirty you could create symlink to the
  mysql directory hierarchy in /usr/include..  that is, of course, if
  the mysql.h is to be found in a /usr/local/include/mysql directory.

No ebuilds here. I'm running Fedora Core 2 on my EPIA, using the latest errata
X.org provided by Red Hat, with Terry Barnaby's rpms taking care of all the
necessary additions.

Use the 3D driver version. Its posted on Terry's pages also. Just make sure
the AGP DMA enable setting in xorg.conf is set to disabled, or the machine
will hard lock (defaults to off, I turned it on on my box, because it lowers
cpu usage on mpeg2 decode, and I don't care about 3D).

No kernel patches required. I'm using FC2's 2.6.8-1.521 kernel.

Thanks for the tip.  I've since discovered that my signal was really
poor yesterday--some loose cables.  Most shows I tried to record were
cut off.  So I guess if the transmission was sufficiently bad the usual
markers between programs in the EIT (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/EIT for
those like me who don't know what it is) could be lost.  I wasn't able
to find any clear pattern in the scrambling, but the listing provided
did seem to be from other shows on the same network.  For example, the
description for the NCAA tournament was probably for the Craig Cilbourn
show late that evening.

BTW, what's the relation between the over the air program information
and mythfilldatabase?  Does the latter trigger on OTA update, or is it
strictly for other data sources (which I'm currently not using)?

On system status / listing status I always see
WARNING: is mythfilldatabase running?
I'm not sure what's up with that, since the time of the last
mythfilldatabase does advance as time progresses, and I'm not running it

I've sifted through the various 11.4 NetworkManager issues, and didn't
find anything like the minor annoyance I'm having.

I've got a clean desktop install of 11.4/KDE4 from the 64 bit LiveCD.
I've ran all the updates and added a few Community Repos. I've set
Networking to use NetworkManager (for a regular wired NIC) - I've done
this because I use VPNs, and NetworkManager is a nice easy way to
switch VPNs on/off.

If the system is set to use ifup, then network is always working on
boot. If the system is set to use NetworkManager, then network is not
enabled after a boot. If I click on the NetworkManager widget, I have
no networking options at all. If I go into the NetworkManager config,
I can only access the VPN tab. All other tabs are greyed out.

If I go to YaST, Network, and set it back to Traditional ifup, then
network comes up immediately. I can then switch it back to
NetworkManager, and network stays working, and I've got full access to
all features of the NetworkManager until the next logout/reboot when I
lose network again until I manually cycle it to Traditional and back
to NetworkManager.

So.... any thoughts on solving this one? It's a minor inconvenience
since I don't restart or logout often, but.... it's something I'd like
to resolve if I can.

Not sure it if related, but do you have plasmoid-networkmanagement installed
instead of KNetworkManager?

According to

plasmoid-networkmanagement should be used from KDE45 onwards, but
I've done several installs of 11.4 and I always get KNetworkManager instead.

Not sure if it will help, but it might.

Hi everyone,

my name is Martin and I work for The Open University in the UK [1], the
largest educator in Europe with more than 200k students enrolling on its
undergraduate and postgraduate course programmes, and more than 15k
graduates annually. Recently, The Open University launched an open source
version of its course programme under the label "OpenLearn" [2]; while
this initiative is currently more web and web 2.0 oriented, there are
likely to be benefits from enhancing these sites with some semantics (at
some point in the hopefully not so distant future).

I am based with the Knowledge Media Institute [3], a specialized research
unit carrying R&D in such areas as semantic web and SW services, new
media, social computing and multimedia annotation. Semantic web oriented
research belongs among our largest sources of funding; in fact the project
I am currently helping to coordinate (NeOn: Lifecycle Support for
Networked Ontologies [4]) is one the latest initiatives of its kind in

I am based about an hour from London to the North in a so-called "new
city" of Milton Keynes, which happens to be a welcome target of quite a
few jokes throughout the UK (most are unfounded, honest).

More info on me could be found at my web site [5]; incl. my ICQ number

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that nuance. I tend to read Thing/url as approx
what we had in FOAF isPrimaryTopicOf (but more accessibly named :)

But yes, it seems to have more of the flavour of (a), ie. id for the
description/record not the thing it describes.

Absorbing this, but yes I think I agree.

In terms of the broader issue, not just Event, it feels like we'd
benefit from a little 3 or 4 file set of test cases. Maybe describing
a movie and actor, to show how we want things to connect up, and the
role sameAs might play. I'm used to the role owl:sameAs plays in the
RDF and linked data world, but not sure that's quite what you're
looking for here. Is it a relationship between an entity and another
description of that same entity?

Lynx doesn't do JavaScript.  This should be considered a serious

to see text browser that did JavaScript and CSS.

Anyway, the answer there would be a <noscript> fallback intended for

Surely you don't mean "for _anything_".  Do you assume client-side
support for HTML 2.0?  What about HTML 3.2?  What about HTML 4.01
Transitional?  What about HTML 4.01 Strict?  What about CSS level
1?  What about CSS level 2?  What about ECMAScript?  What about

See, we need to assume some level of basic support.  Okay, so some
browsers won't measure up to it -- but some browsers (such as Lynx)
have not been reprogrammed in 5 years.  More recent browsers do
indeed have some degree of all of the above, so the answer simply
is to ask what is the reasonable level of support to expect, and
is it fair game to expect someone to be using a reasonable browser
when accessing your site?

There are a lot of issues involved with letting the tests write to the
file system.  If writing to the file system is needed, then the
temporary filenames should be generated by the framework.  However, even
these could not be supported by browser based implementations.  I'm
pretty darn curious about what would be considered a DOMOutputStream on
an ECMAScript implementation.

Ok, so for the framework you suggest testing DOMWriter using pipes
by creating an inputstream from an outputstream ?

I guess I can live with that.

> - a method to test whether a substring appears in a file

>Is this specific to files?

We probably can skip this, see above.

> - a method to get the size of a file

This is typically used to do weak tests on e.g. pretty print. Since pretty
print is weakly defined you would probably fall back to test whether the
output has a different size than the input after applying pretty-print.
I know this isn't great but it's probably the best you can do.

If we use strings and read from the outputstream I can do it with

>Would there be any need (hopefully not) for this to something other than
>a resource provided with the test?

No, DOMInputSource can have both a DOMInputStream as a DOMReader as an input.

If we just use strings in tests we won't be able to test System
Exceptions. It is currently still an open issue whether System Exceptions
are passed on and how. If this will be done by a DOMException than it
makes sense to build a test for it (something like parse a non existing
file and find out whether a DOMException is thrown).

Forbid RAND, require open source compatibility; W3C mission DEMANDS it

From: David Wheeler <dwheeler@ida.org>
Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 01:40:58 -0400 (EDT)
Message-Id: <200110030540.BAA27654@aphrodite.csed.ida.org>
To: www-patentpolicy-comment@w3.org
I am disturbed by the W3C Patent Policy Framework Working Draft because
it endorses the concept of W3C "RAND" standards.
RAND standards are fundamentally discriminatory and conflict with the
W3C's fundamental mission.  If the W3C decides to make such a profoundly
risky change in its direction, the W3C will quickly find itself irrelevant.
Do not make such a change so blatantly hostile to the web's users.

The W3C must require that all of its standards be RF, never RAND, and
its standards must be compatible with open source software
(in particular, common licenses such as the GPL, LGPL, BSD-new, and MIT).
I do agree that a patent policy is needed, in particular one that
requires full disclosure by WG members.  However, the "RAND"
option must be jettisoned and forbidden, immediately & forever.

First, the term "reasonable and non-discriminatory" (RAND) is
fundamentally self-contradictory when it comes to web-related patents.
A patent owner never needs to pay to use of their own work, while
others must usually pay.  Also, open source/free software developers cannot
use such work, so all "RAND" policies _FUNDAMENTALLY_ discriminate against
a large group of developers and users.  And this group has been increasingly
important to web-related standards.

Indeed, a disturbing aspect about this proposal is the complete lack
of representation by the open source/free software community.
Since this community represents a large number of the implementers and
users of W3C standards, the W3C should ensure that its policies are
consistent with theirs.  The _MAJORITY_ of HTTP implementions, and a
healthy minority of HTML implementions, are open source, and such a
policy change is an affront to these previously avid supporters of the W3C.
In particular, the W3C should explicitly ensure that any standard that
it develops in the future can be implemented by this important constituency.

The "justification" for RAND simply isn't.  It is
essentially hand-waving, with a note that some companies don't want to
participate in the W3C if the standard is RF.  This is irrelevant.
No standard receives participation by all parties in the world - all that's
needed for a good standard is enough participation to solve the given problem.
Generally, once companies understand that it's "RF or no standard", they
accept RF.  Those who don't, weren't interested in permitting competition
anyway.  The framework goes on at great length on how to implement RAND,
but completely fails to significantly justify the entire approach of RAND.
And as I'll describe more fully in a moment, RAND fundamentally violates
the W3C's own mission, so even a full justification wouldn't save it.

It is true that many other organizations have RAND-like policies, but
this is misleading.  Most of them (e.g., ISO, ANSI, IEEE) have a long history
in non-software standards, where patents were originally intended to apply.
IETF has such a statement, but in practice many IETF working groups are
virulently opposed to "RAND" standards.  Yes, the W3C hasn't had a policy,
but there's no policy that says that water is wet either.. as the W3C
itself has noted, this has been a widely-held understanding, and so
if the W3C accepts RAND, it has the _effect_ of a fundamental change.

The proposed RAND option FUNDAMENTALLY VIOLATES the W3C's own mission.
I have examined the W3C's page "About the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)"
at <http://www.w3.org/Consortium/>; looking at the key points shows that
the drafters of the "W3C Patent Policy Framework Working Draft" have
developed a framework fundamentally opposed to the W3C mission.

First, the W3C goals:

>    1.Universal Access: To make the Web accessible to all by promoting
>    technologies that take into account the vast differences in culture,
>    education, ability, material resources, and physical
>    limitations of users on all continents;

The RAND proposal fundamentally LIMITS access to the web by those with
fewer material resources, as well as those who identify themselves in the
"open source" or "free software" cultures.  Thus, if the W3C
endorses a RAND standard, it shows that its goal is to PREVENT
universal access.

>    2.Semantic Web : To develop a software environment that permits
>    each user to make the best use of the resources available on the Web;

The RAND policy will prevent some users from making use of resources
available on the web. This in particular includes poor users & open source/
free software develoeprs.

>    3.Web of Trust : To guide the Web's development with careful
>    consideration for the novel legal, commercial, and social issues
>    raised by this technology.

There is a careful consideration of the process to create a RAND standard,
but there is no evidence in the documentation provided that the need
for RAND itself was carefully considered.  Indeed, there's no compelling
evidence in any of the information published that RAND is actually necessary.
The evidence provided shows clear evidence that the
W3C must require disclosure, certainly.  However, I think the evidence
is more clearly showing the need for an explicit RF-only policy by the W3C.

But regardless of that consideration, other issues seem to have been ignored.
For example, there appears to be no examination of the social issues
implied by RAND.  RAND implies that small businesses and open source
developers will no longer be able to implement certain W3C standards,
and they have been a major source of innovation and
implementation of standards.  This would be a widespread loss, and far
outstrips the unproven gains in permitting RAND.

Let's look at the W3C Role:
>1.Vision: W3C promotes and develops its vision of the future of the
>World Wide Web. Contributions from several hundred dedicated
>researchers and engineers working for Member organizations, from the
>W3C Team (led by Tim Berners-Lee, the Web's inventor), and from the
>entire Web community enable W3C to identify the technical requirements
>that must be satisfied if the Web is to be a truly universal
>information space.

RAND implies that the web will no longer be a universal information space.
With RAND, access to the web will be controlled by those who control the fees
(or, by holding the patents or being part of a patent-sharing cartel,
are immune to the fees).

>2.Design: W3C designs Web technologies to realize this vision,
>taking into account existing technologies as well as those of the future.

By developing RAND standards, the W3C forbids the use of many
existing technologies built as open source (particularly those with
GPL and LGPL licenses).  Thus, the RAND concept fails to take into
account existing technologies.  Again, the RAND concept fails to meet
W3C mission requirements.

>3.Standardization: W3C contributes to efforts to standardize Web
>technologies by producing specifications (called "Recommendations")
>that describe the building blocks of the Web. W3C makes these
>Recommendations (and other technical reports freely available to all.

This is one of the most blatant failures of the RAND proposal.
It makes little sense to make a recommendation "freely available to all"
if you can't use it freely.  "Freely available to all" only makes sense
if it can be freely implemented.. which means that the W3C's own
mission statement requires that RAND be forbidden.

Now let's look at the "Design Principles of the Web":
>    1.Interoperability: Specifications for the Web's languages and
>    protocols must be compatible with one another and allow (any)
>    hardware and software used to access the Web to work together.

A "RAND" policy means that many software products, including all
open source/free software products, cannot interopate using those RAND
specifications.  Thus, the "any" in this statement is fundamentally
violated. Again, this shows that RAND is incompatible with the W3C's mission.

>    television, as well as others to come.

A "RAND" policy is likely to make it more difficult and expensive to
extend the use of technology.  If a standard is RAND-based, others will
be hesitant to extend its applicability to other areas because they'll
have to pay more fees.

A patent owner is a central registry, with all the failures of one,
with the added complications of legal proceedings and jurisdictions.
Imagine that a patent owner is bankrupt and in litigation.. how would
a new developer negotiate with the patent owner for novel applications of
the standard, or for interpretations related to it?  What about the
death of a patent owner (for privately-owned patents) - would an
estate really understand the issues?

I am speaking only for myself, but any examination of this mailing list
reveals that a vast number of people believe RAND is a bad idea.
It's time for the W3C to demonstrate moral courage, and stand up to the
few who want to use the W3C as a cover (and abandon it later, once everyone
has been forced to use only their products).

If the W3C cannot demonstrate such courage, then the W3C must rewrite
its mission to describe its new purpose - RAND is completely incompatible
with the W3C's current mission.  And if the mission is rewritten, the
new mission would become "to try to force others to use patented products."
It really is that simple.

Please, make it an explicit policy to FORBID RAND standards in the W3C.
If companies want to implement patented concepts, let them; an RF-only
policy (which is how the W3C has run so far) does not prevent this.
However, such companies should not be able to use the W3C to force others
to use their patents.

Thank you.

These two statements are at odds with each other,
and at most one can be correct.  Given the concept
of a base URL, I /suspect/ that the former is more
accurate, but I cannot substantiate this as I write.

I'm just learning about scxml and found some questions about SCXML draft
dated 24 January 2006 (http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/):

1) I wonder why <invoke> can only be used under <state>, unlike <send> that
can be used in either <onentry> or <onexit>. What if I want to invoke an
external module only on exit?

2) The xsd doesn't seem to allow custom tags in <onentry> or <onexit>
element, even though the spec permits it, because "executablecontent" group
in the xsd seems to miss a <xsd:any> definition.

3) Element <normalize> (F.3 Example of Invoke and finalize) doesn't seem to
be described in spec or defined in the scxml xsd.

Somersault is the brainchild of Richard Cowdry and Daniel Locke and will be coming to us every Tuesday (as with Darryl’s Super-Sam we’ll post up strips into an online archive as it builds up, so if you miss any you can catch up easily), so we hope very much that you enjoy it!"

I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew

I bit off more than I could chew.

My kids’ school and their extra-curricular activities, my book group, speaking opportunities and volunteer work, my husband’s travel schedule, social lives for all of us, and – oh, yeah, my job — each grew bigger than I was prepared to handle all at once. The next thing I knew, my blog was down to once a week, then once a month, then somewhat sporadic, and then, after my Christmas 2012 post, I stopped.  My blogging voice went silent in my head, and the posts froze in mid-December.

Ever go into a mall with little kids? Ever get so sick of the phrase “Can I get that?” that you almost wish you could go deaf?  It’s not really their fault. They just want everything they see, and have not yet learned how to turn it off.   Not like us Grown-ups, right?

Or, is it…

I just finished a divorce. Nice people, amicable divorce.  They appreciate each other more from a distance than they ever did when they were still married. I am happy for them and their kids that their divorce did not cost a fortune or take years to complete.  But, there were moments during the process where I thought we might never get to the end.

The Wife wasn’t ready to get divorced as quickly as the husband was.  So, she just kept looking for the thing that would make her happy.  The mature woman’s version of, “Can I get that?”

He offered alimony for half the length of the marriage – a standard measurement – she wanted unlimited alimony.

He offered to take all of the marital debts.  She wanted him to also pay off her car.

He offered her the time share. She also wanted his frequent flyer miles.

Eventually, I told them to stop talking to each other. I said, “If he offered you the skin off his body right now, it would not be enough.”  They finally saw what I meant. We took a break from negotiations.

And, after a few weeks of no more skin peeling, and no more “can I get that?”  We met again, reached some reasonable compromises, and finished their divorce.

I think all of my running around from activity to volunteer to dinners to book groups was my own version of “Can I get that?”  A giant plate piled high with more than my life could possibly handle.

And then we all learned our lesson. Some things just matter more than others.  For me that order is family, work, writing.  In that order.  The rest is a tie for “later.”  For my client, the order is her kids first.  She decided that the amount of money she takes away with her matters less than her kids’ happiness.  She can always earn more money; but she can never get back these moments of their childhood. She would rather spend them focused on the children than fighting with her (now ex-) husband.

My client and I both got to the same emotional moment, the one that stops saying “Can I get that?” and instead says, “This is good.  Let me focus on what is good.”  Not only are she and I both better off for it, so are our children, our families, our friends, and our jobs.

What We Love:  The clarity to see what matters and release what does not.
