soft as a downey chick
It was made from the feathers of forty eleven geese
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It'd hold eight kids n' four hound dogs
and a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
on Grandma's feather bed [1]
|Karen Bue Berge, early 1900s.
Karen (Bue) Berge was one of my maternal great great grandmothers--each one of them a Norwegian immigrant who experienced the anguish of leaving home and family they would likely never see again, in order to forge a better life on the mid-19th century American frontier. Before Karen died from pulmonary emphysema in 1914, she devised a will, which was uncharacteristic of farming women of her time. It reads:
First. I order and direct that my executrix hereinafter named pay al my just debts. And I direct that my funeral expenses and the expense of the admistration be paid out of and made a charge upon the homestead hereinafter devised.[2]
Second. After the payment of such funeral expenses and expenses of adminstration I give and devise unto my beloved daughter, Gunda C. Overson, my homestead, described as the East half of Lot 13, and all except the East ten feet of Lot 14 in Block 21, in the original Townsite of Granite Falls, Minnesota.
Third. I give and devise unto my beloved daughter, Sophia G. Skrukrud, two lots now owned by me in Lillehammer, Norway. I request that the said lots last mentioned be retained unsold by my said last named daughter, as I consider it would be for her best interest to retain
Fourth. I give and bequeath unto my said daughter, Sophia G. Skrukrud, my featherbed, now in my possession at my home.
Fifth. I give and bequeath unto my four children, Ole B. Berge, Ottilia A. Erlandson, Gunda C. Overson, and Sophia G. Skrukrud, all my clothing, personal effects, and wearing apparel, to be divided among them as nearly equally as may be. And I do further give, devise and bequeath unto my said four children all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate.
Lastly. I do hereby constitute my said daughter, Gunda C. Overson, to be the executrix of this my Will, hereby revoking all fomer Wills by me made.
[Karen Berge]

That Karen would have even mentioned her feather bed among the specific items bequeathed in her will, including a homestead and properties in Norway, is quite interesting. It either attests to her pride of ownership of such an item, or it was an attempt to eliminate sibling squabbling over a highly favored piece of furniture. It made me smile to discover the reference when reading her will for the first time.
|Karen Bue Berge (seated), with her daughters, ca. 1910. Standing, (L to R): Gunda Overson, Sophie Skrukrud, and Othilie Erlandson.
Karen Olsdatter Bue was born on August 19, 1839 on Bue Farm in Faaberg (near Lillehammer), Norway, to Ole Pedersen Kraaboel Bue and Berthe Pedersdatter Bue. Karen had four siblings: Martha Olsdatter Bue (b. April 5, 1835), Petter Olsen Bue (b. 1841), Simon Emil Bue (b. March 21, 1847), and Thina Olsdatter Bue (b. 1849). On December 28, 1860, she married Gulbran Olsen Berge in Faaberg. The couple emigrated from Norway before their marriage had aged a decade. In April 1868, Gulbran boarded the sailing vessel, the Hannah Parr, bound for Quebec in North America, while Karen stayed behind in Norway with their two children, Othilie Annette (b. October 27, 1861) and Ole Benhart--my great grandfather (b. October 30, 1864). Karen was expecting a third child at the time of her husband's departure, but the baby, named Gunda C., died soon after being born on December 21. Gulbran Berge never saw his new infant daughter.
During the spring or summer of 1869, Karen and two children left Norway to join Gulbran in Minnesota. Several more children followed after the couple settled on a sixty-acre homestead in Leenthrop Township, Chippewa County: Gunda Caroline (b. June 26, 1872), Berthe Bergine (b..May 5, 1874 and died as an infant), Jorgen Benhart (b. in 1878 and died in 1880), and Sophie Georgine (b. July 16, 1881).
|Karen Bue Berge as a middle-aged woman. Chippewa County, Minnesota, 1870s.
When their youngest child was but a year old, Gulbran came down with consumption (tuberculosis), and passed on soon after, leaving his family to fend for themselves. His funeral was attending by about eight-five neighbors and friends during the height of a prarie winter in January 1883. Karen and her underage children, Gunda and Sophie, were probably aided by her grown children in the years to follow. There were twenty years separating the births of Othilie, the eldest child, and Sophie, the youngest, and Othilie had become a married woman a few years before, in 1879.
Karen's obitutary, published in the Granite Falls Tribune on September 3, 1914, was more extensive than for most women of modest means, especially a longtime widow:
Mrs. Berge, the mother of Mrs. Overson, passed away last Friday, September 4th, after a long illness. Her age was 75 years.
Deceased was born in Lillehammer, Norway, August 12th, 1839, and came to this country when a young woman. She has resided in Chippewa County for the past 43 years, being one of the first settlers and pioneers of the county. Previous to her residence there she lived at Mankato for three years.
She was a woman of a kind disposition and open hearted hospitality, the characteristics predominant among most pioneers, and always willing to do more than her share to lighten the
world's burdens for others.
She is survived by four children who will revere and honor her memory. They are Mrs. Edw. Elandson, Maynard; Mr. Ole B. Berge, Leonard, Minn; Mrs. G. T. Skrukrud and Mrs. Overson, of this city.
Funeral services were held this afternoon, the hour being 2:00 o'clock at the house and 2:30 at the United Lutheran church. Both Rev. M. B. Eriksen, of Maynard, and Rev. O. J. Eriksen, of this city officiated. Interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery. [3]

"Two Amy Poehler posts in one day? What is this, my birthday?!" I don't know? Is it? Or are we just that nice?
Poehler is making the rounds to promote her new movie and the latest season of Parks and Recreation, which is great news for us because, as we all know, a talk show appearance by Poehler is the best talk show appearance of them all. Last night, she stopped by Kimmel (alongside Stephen Merchant, so double the flavor/double the fun) where she turned a conversation about phone addiction into an intense gender critique and then talked about exploiting her young son's lisp for maximum adorability.

Funny how the different phases of the moon affect our hormones and moods!
With the new moon comes inspiration and bright ideas and dreams, or in th4e waning phase, the energy settles us down into whatever has taken place.
The Half moon - we're either building excitement and energy, or decreasing our energy, and the full energy of the moon has people and animals doing all sorts of energetic things at times, especially in the summer months!
Then the moon starts to get tired and the energy wanes and calms again. Everything passes. It's another phase we all go through.


text: When Harlan Carruthers, a charismatic cowboy who seems as if he would be much more at home in Monument Valley than in the San Fernando Valley, has a chance encounter with Tobe, a bored and restless suburban teenager, both of their lives are turned upside down. To Harlan, Tobe embodies all the purity and innocence impossible to find on the mean street of contemporary L.A., while Tobe is drawn to Harlan's poetic charm and romantic spirit. Despite the obvious differences in their ages and backgrounds, and the growing opposition of Tobe's father, Wade, the couple pursues their passionate, furtive romance until it becomes apparent that Tobe is unprepared for the intensity of Harlan's love. Then, things take a sudden, dangerous turn when Tobe discovers that Harlan is not at all what he appeared to be.

More than a week after Consumer Reports reported the new iPad can reach 116 degrees, it has given the iPad its highest rating.
The high-resolution screen of the new iPad establishes a new benchmark in excellence, providing the best rendering of detail and color accuracy we've ever seen on a tablet display. As a result, the iPad tops our new tablet Ratings, posted today. . . Performance on the new iPad ($500 to $830) was superb in virtually every other way as well. The 5-megapixel camera took very good photos. Verizon's 4G network yielded very fast, dependable connectivity to a 4G-compatible version of the iPad in our informal tests. And despite the energy-intensive display and graphics, the iPad still has longer battery life than all other tablets.
Consumer Reports said it carried out further tests an confirmed the new iPad does run hotter than the iPad 2, but that it was not a "cause for concern." It also noted that the battery didn't recharge when playing a demanding video game -- but only if the screen was "fully bright."
U.S. & World
The report continued by suggesting other tablets were worth recommending, such as the 10.1-inch Toshiba Excite 10LE ($529), an ultra-thin tab that weighs only 1.1 pounds, and the waterproof 8-inch Element from Pantech ($449) with a 10-hour battery life. It also recommended the Sony Tablet P with a dual-screen format, but said that the iPad's display was the "best we've seen."
The love letter to the iPad continued with CR considering the iPad display so awesome that it "recalibrated our standard of excellence," and only the iPad receives an "excellent overall score" for display.
Those who defended the new iPad may be feeling vindicated right now. The only thing we find odd was how big of a deal Consumer Reports made of the heat and battery drain and how it's now downplaying the problems now -- but it was the publication that brought it up! We think this may have made CR seem less concerned about consumer advocacy than about sensational headlines and pageviews, and its gushing review after such high-profile criticism only makes the publication seem a little less credible.

Valentine's Day Fun!
Here are a few of the things we did to celebrate Valentine's day.
I had the kids each bring in an empty cereal box. We covered them in bulletin board paper, provided a wide array of adornments, and let the kids create! They really did a great job!
We wanted to make these stained glass tealights as parent gifts for Christmas, but we had a few parents bring in ornament crafts unexpectedly, so we put these off. It was good fine motor practice. The friends had to put glue on baby food jars, then covered with tissue. We added a coat of glue at the end to secure loose ends and provide a "finish". They are very pretty when lit. I think the parents will love these! An additional activity was to wrap them for the parents. We also added cards we made earlier in the week.
For our lobby display, we made "love bugs" out of pre-cut hearts. I am so proud of my little guys---they were so creative, even coming up with bug names for their creations!
We read the fun book, The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond.
We made our own version of the Valentine Tree for our classroom door to display some of the beautiful hearts the friends have made in our art center this week. Thanks to miller moments for the inspiration...I thought I knew all the Felicia Bond books! We also read a variety of books about Valentine's Day, the post office and writing letters.
Some of our table activities included a match/memory game with Valentine cards, heart themed size seriation, and a hearts matching game with uppercase/lowercase letter on each half of the heart. We used themed erasers, pom poms and ice trays for a variety of math games and fine motor practice.
This month, we also added a post office to our dramatic play area. We had a cash register, phone, keyboard, postcards, stamps and stamp pads. I used a pocket chart to make "mailboxes" for the students to deliver notes and mail to classmates. I'm proud that my center was an improvement over last year, after visiting Getting Messy with Ms. Jessi and seeing some of the great things she was doing in her post office center!
Sorting mail and delivering it. Each student has a mail slot in the pocket chart. There is even a slot for my assistant and myself!
We have had a lot of fun, but it has been hard work for both the adults and the kids in my class! I am looking forward to our upcoming winter break/furlough days!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says that 50 years after enactment of the Equal Pay Act, the nation still faces gender wage disparities that must be fixed. "This is the 21st century," he declared. "It's time to close that gap."
Obama raised the issue while observing the anniversary of the law signed by President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
To an audience almost entirely of women at the White House, Obama drew attention to a recent Pew Poll that found women are the primary source of income for nearly 40 percent of households in the United States.
"When more women are bringing home the bacon, they shouldn't just be getting a little bit of bacon," he said.
He cited an often-mentioned statistic that women on average earn about 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. Though some dispute the size of the gap, few argue that there is no gender discrepancy in pay.
"If they're bringing home more of the income and that income is less than a fair share, that means that families have less to get by on, for child care or health care or gas or groceries," Obama said. "It makes it harder for middle-class families to save and retire. It leaves small businesses with customers who have less money in their pockets, which is not good for the economy.
The event's focus on women's pay comes during a week when Obama is paying special attention to Democratic constituent groups. On Tuesday he will speak at the White House in support of an overhaul of immigration laws. He will be fundraising for the Democrats on Wednesday. On Thursday he will observe LGBT Pride Month with remarks at the White House.

CMVP now maintains validation status of cryptographic modules under two separate lists depending on their current status. The modules begin in the Implementation Under Test List and then proceed to the Modules in Process List.

Security configuration guides
Security-focused organizations provide well defined and vetted guidance for how to configure various platforms for accepted use. Security Configuration Guides provide an overview of features in OS X and iOS that you can use to enhance protection; this is known as "hardening your device." Worldwide governments have collaborated with Apple and developed guides designed to give instructions and recommendations for maintaining a more secure environment.
To use these guides, you should be an experienced user or system administrator. You shold be familiar with the user interface, and have some working knowledge of management tools for the target platform. It's beneficial to be familiar with basic networking concepts. Certain instructions in the guides are complex, and deviation could result in adverse effects or reduced protection. Thoroughly test any changes made to your device's settings before deployment.

Security certifications
A list of Apple's publicly identified, active, and completed certifications.
ISO 27001 and 27018 Certification
Apple has received ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 certifications for the Information Security Management System for the infrastructure, development, and operations supporting these products and services: Apple School Manager, iTunes U, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Managed Apple IDs, Siri, and Schoolwork in accordance with the Statement of Applicability v2.1 dated 7/11/2017. Apple's compliance with the ISO standards was certified by the British Standards Institution. The BSI website has certificates of compliance for ISO 27001 and ISO 27018.
Common Criteria certification
The goal, as stated by the Common Criteria community, is for an internationally approved set of security standards to provide a clear and reliable evaluation of the security capabilities of Information Technology products. By providing an independent assessment of a product's ability to meet security standards, Common Criteria Certification gives customers more confidence in the security of Information Technology products and leads to more informed decisions.
Through a Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), member countries and regions have agreed to recognize the certification of Information Technology products with the same level of confidence. Membership along with the depth and breadth of Protection Profiles continues to grow on a yearly basis to address emerging technology. This agreement permits a product developer to pursue a single certification under any one of the Authorizing Schemes.
Those unfamiliar with the relatively recent restructuring of the certification approach under the new Common Criteria, should take notice that there is no longer any reference to Evaluated Assurance Levels (EAL#). Previous Protection Profiles (PP) were archived and have begun to be replaced with the development of targeted Protection Profiles focusing on specific solutions and environments. In a concerted effort to ensure continued mutual recognition across all CCRA members, the International Technical Community (iTC) continues to drive all future PP development and updates towards Collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) which are developed from the start with involvement from multiple schemes.
Apple began pursuing certifications under this new Common Criteria restructure with selected PPs starting in early 2015. Apple's publicly identified, active, and completed certifications are listed below.
Apple is actively engaged in the validation of macOS against the General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile (GPOS PP v4.2), Full Drive Encryption Engine (FDE-EE cPP v2.0), and Full Drive Authorization Acquisition (FDE-AA cPP v2.0).

Trees down in Middletown; about 1,000 without power
MIDDLETOWN >> Staying a step ahead of Hurricane Sandy, Middletown Mayor Dan Drew on Monday set an 8 p.m. curfew in order to maintain safety of the public and emergency workers. He also declared a state of emergency.
Things were quiet during the day, before presstime, with slight rain -- and leaves -- falling. As the evening progressed, the wind and rain picked up and Drew reported lots of trees down, lots of debris on the ground in downtown Middletown and several minor wire fires. More than 1,000 were without power as of Tuesday morning.
A lot of the debris came from the fascia on the side of the Liberty Bank building on Main Street.
None of the area's rivers had reached their banks, but three U.S. Coast Guard ships were docked at Harbor Park because of rising water in New Haven and Long Island Sound. Middletown, Coast Guard officials said, was considered the "safe harbor." If the Connecticut River rises, they will go out to the center of the channel and put down anchor.
Two of the 49-foot boats have been docked since the weekend and a third, the Bollard, has been docked since Friday, Coast Guard officials said.
Meanwhile, no gas stations appeared to be closed.
And while the governor said state highways were to be closed at 1 p.m., at 1:30, cars and trucks were still speeding along Route 9.
Schools across the region were also closed, at least through Tuesday.
The city opened its emergency shelter at noon, but shortly thereafter, only a dozen or so people had shown up.
Drew suggested that anyone who needs electricity for life-saving devices such as sleep apnea machines or oxygen tanks, go to the shelter as soon as possible to get charged, and no to wait until they lose power to go.
Louis Carta, public information officer for the Middletown shelter, said that when people arrive at the shelter, they will have to fill out an intake form.
The shelter should be open through Tuesday, but in terms of whether it will be open beyond Tuesday, officials will make a judgment call, depending on how hard Middletown gets hit.
"We're expecting and preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best," Carta said.
The shelter has 100 cots and the can take no more than 200 people in the high school gymnasium.
They're providing showers and medical care from nurses and volunteers of the medical reserve. Drew also urged anyone with a medical condition to report to the emergency shelter, regardless if they have lost power.
Drew also said people who plan to use the shelter to bring bedding, toiletries towels and any medication or medical equipment that may be needed. Residents should bring enough supplies for three days, even if the stay is shorter.
Cots will be available, as well as food and beverages.
Pets are welcome in the shelter, though they must be in a crate or leashed at all times, and pet owners should bring food for their animals.
Drew also said that public works crews were clearing leaves and debris from streets Monday to keep draining systems clear in the event of flooding.
The American Red Cross offered the following advice to residents wishing to ride the storm out at home without power. Homes should have three gallons of water per person per day, food that does not require refrigeration, enough medication for several days as well as flashlights and a battery operated radio and extra batteries for all devices powered by them. Enough food and medication for pets should also be on hand.
The Red Cross also suggests that refrigerators and freezers be put on their highest settings and keeping the doors closed as much as possible so in the event power is lost, contents will stay colder longer.
Propane tanks should be disconnected and small appliances unplugged. Residents using generators should only run them outdoors and at least 20 feet from the home's exterior, and refrain from using combustible cooking appliances, such as gas grills indoors.
Drew, in a prepared statement, reminds people not to call 911 unless there is an emergency or a person is in imminent danger.
City emergency services personnel are asking that residents refrain from traveling during the storm unless there is an emergency, according to the press release.
Downed wires should be assumed to live and should not be approached. Downed power lines should be reported to Middletown dispatch at (860) 347-2541. Only call 911 if the wires pose a danger to life or property.
Durham and Middlefield first selectmen also declared a state of emergency Monday morning, shortly after a briefing held at the Emergency Operations Center in Durham.
"Last night, the commodities (like) water and MREs (meals ready to eat) were requested from the state," said Brian Dumas, Middlefield's acting emergency management director .
Both emergency management officials and emergency personnel are working together to keep everything under control as gusty winds from Hurricane Sandy grow stronger.
Daily briefings at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. have begun at the Durham Emergency Operations Center, located at the town hall, though the morning briefings may be scheduled for 9 a.m. going forward, Durham First Selectwoman Laura Francis said Monday afternoon.
"Our team is (in place). Our contingency plan has been activated. Connecticut Light & Power (crews) are in town and have been deployed," Francis said.
Widespread power outages and damage from fallen trees are expected due to high wind and rainfall, town officials report.
The powerful winds from the coming storm managed to knock out the power of 19 homes in the area Monday, but with linemen and tree crews working collaboratively with the EOC and the town Public Works Department, electricity was restored within hours, according to Durham Emergency Management Director Francis Willett.
Town officials "expect residents to shelter in place in order to give our emergency crews adequate time to make our roadways safe for passage." Unless conditions warrant otherwise, the emergency center at Coginchaug Regional High School is expected to open no earlier than Wednesday for such services as food and water distribution, hot meals, charging stations, internet access, showers and overnight accommodations.
So far, there have been no reported accidents or outages in Middlefield, said Dumas.
Outside resources called on by CL&P are also working in Middlefield, Dumas added.
"There has been good cooperation between crews and our public works department," he said.
Major outages will not be restored until after Sandy subsides as per the orders of crew supervisor, Dumas said.
All of the Durham's emergency departments are fully staffed and prepared for what's to come, Francis said.
However, the Durham Transfer station, activity center and town library are closed.
The Durham EOC and Durham Town Hall will remain open.
The emergency storm hotline has also been activated. For all Durham storm related issues, call (860)343-6735. Call (860)342-8349 for Middlefield concerns.
Regional District 13 schools have been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday.
Residents are encouraged to call 911 for emergencies only.

He battled hard.
These are the words that characterize Pedro Martinez's last grab at glory, and they are the words that no athlete wants to read about himself on the morning after. When the analysts say you battled hard, what they're trying not to say is that you're an over-the-hill superstar who got slapped around in the biggest game of the year.
That wouldn't be a kind thing to say, especially about a guy who's given so much to the game and provided so much entertainment to the fans. It would be true; old Pedro did get his keister kicked, which resulted in the Yankees winning their 27th World Series. But it would be like telling that blind date your sister set you up with that she sweats less than any fat girl you know. True and nice are not synonyms.
U.S. & World
And so we say that when his team needed him most, when the Phillies needed the crafty veteran to extend their season for one more day, he battled hard.
Yech! The more you repeat those words, the more hideous they sound. It's a great thing to tell a 6-year-old after a soccer game, but to one of the best who ever played the game, it's the same as saying, "Man, did you stink."
Nice tries don't count at this time of year. Nobody cares how hard you battled if you don't win.
Pedro knows that. Yeah, he gave it everything he had, which is what you expect. He just didn't have all that much.
It was supposed to be set up for Pedro to be a hero one more time against the team that has played such a huge part in his career. Andy Pettitte, who had struggled in a Game 3 victory, was pitching on three day's rest. Pedro, who had pitched very well in a Game 2 loss, was throwing on full rest. It should have been advantage Pedro.
But Martinez arrived at Yankee Stadium without his fastball. In the parlance of the game, he wasn't throwing hard enough to splash water. At times, you were tempted to say that glaciers move with a greater sense of urgency than Pedro's fastball did on Wednesday night in the Bronx. The ball traveled so slowly, it arrived at the plate with dust on it.
Here's where that nasty battling hard stuff comes in. Despite his lack of velocity, Pedro gave up just three hits in four innings. His downfall was that one of them was a two-run home run by Hideki Matsui and another was a two-run single by the aforementioned Yankee DH.
In short, in the critical moments that separate winning from losing, Pedro Martinez failed.
If he wanted to, he could take cold comfort in the fact that the Philadelphia pitchers who followed him battled just as hard as he did, surrendering three more runs in the fifth inning to give the Yankees a 7-1 lead. Pettitte eventually hit his wall in the sixth, giving up two runs in that inning to go with one he surrendered in the third. But those runs didn't even make the score respectable.
Pedro's pretty philosophical about baseball and life. He's not likely to lose sleep over what could be his final act in New York. He's also not likely to think that just because he couldn't get past the fourth inning in Game 6 of the World Series, his career is over.
Like so many great athletes, he'll look at the three hits he gave up and the five Yankees he struck out instead of the four runs he gave up. He'll rationalize that it was just two pitches that got away from him that caused the damage. And he'll probably be back with somebody next year.
By the standards of the game, he's still a decent pitcher; a number three or four starter on most teams. But by the standards he established, he's a shadow of what he used to be, another aging star of whom it can be said: He throws just as hard as ever; the ball just doesn't get to the plate as fast as it used to.
You can't blame him if he wants to hang on. The pay is good and the hours are, too. But he can't blame us if we say it's not much fun to watch him fail to do the things that once came so easily to him.
When Pedro took the mound in Game 6 of the World Series, we hoped for one last flash of greatness. Instead we got to watch a guy who battled hard.
And the best you can say abut him is that he was better than Cole Hamels.

Financially-challenged US ISP Earthlink said on Tuesday it will slash about half its workforce after failing to ride the broadband wave Stateside.
The Atlanta-based firm will can 900 staff as part of a sweeping cost-cutting exercise. It also lowered its revenue predictions for the third time this year to between $1.19bn and $1.21bn.
Recently appointed CEO Rolla Huff opened up a can of management speak: "While we see this as an important first step in unlocking the underlying value that we believe is in our company, we are only eight weeks into the process of repositioning EarthLink for the future." More cuts could be on the way, he added.
Earthlink is suffering as its dial-up hold outs finally make the switch to broadband from other providers. Its belated high-speed strategy was to involve itself heavily with municipal Wi-Fi projects, but that has stalled because of privacy and network quality concerns over its flagship San Francisco deployment. Chicago yesterday binned its plans for city-wide Wi-Fi through Earthlink because of the expense.
The firm's also been hit by heavy losses from a joint venture with the South Korean government called Helio.
Wall Street liked the plan, which Earthlink said will save between $25m and $35m this year. Shares rose 7 per cent on the news. ®

Facebook looks to be adding a five-star rating system for places on its social network, according to reports.
Some users reported seeing "rate these places" on Facebook accounts and giving users one to five stars to rate the place they have either visited or Liked, Inside Facebook reported. This could mean that the social network could be unveiling a "recommendation engine" for users much like it has in its App Center.
If Facebook uses the same engine for the App Center, it may be based on a random sample rather than strictly a popular vote, so it's harder to game the system, according to Inside Facebook. Facebook could also easily use the ratings system in a location-search feature and get into the user-generated review business.

News from around the country and around the globe
The role of Facebook is to makes itself impossible to live without. By adding a location-search and user-generated reviews, it just could keep some users from using Google's seeming invulnerable search.

Historical:Using enblend to fill the "Hole in the floor"
This is a simple example for filling the "Hole in the Floor" using regular textures in the nadir image:
Prerequisites: You need image manipulation software which is able to create and manipulate alpha layers such as Photoshop or the Gimp.
This is the original nadir cubeface (extracted by PanoCube)
- Now switch to the alpha mask of your paint software. Here is an example as it may look in Photoshop:
- Paint in the Alpha Mask using a brush with no feather to mask out unwanted areas. If you do everything right, the unwanted areas will have a red overlay:
- Create a new image with the same size. Cut out a usable area from the original image and place it in the area where the unwanted areas are in the above image. Don't forget to create an appropriate alpha-mask. The new image may look like this:
Don't forget: The areas must have sufficient overlap. Otherwise enblend cannot work correctly.
- Save both images as TIFF (with the alpha mask)
- Now run enblend to have these images blended. The final image will look like this:

Mariners activate Hart from DL
CHICAGO (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have activated designated hitter Corey Hart and first baseman Justin Smoak from the 15-day disabled list.
Hart was in the starting lineup for Friday night's game at the Chicago White Sox, but Smoak was sent down to Triple-A Tacoma. The Mariners also designated outfielder Cole Gillespie for assignment.
Hart had been sidelined by a strained left hamstring. He hit .209 with five homers in 37 games before he went on the DL in May.
Manager Lloyd McClendon says Hart also could play first base or in the outfield.
Smoak hit .208 in 63 games before straining his left quad. He hit .204 in 13 games during a rehab assignment with Tacoma.
McClendon says Smoak will eventually return as a starter with the Mariners.

The love that dare not speak its name
In my prior post on the LA Times being bamboozled by the UC administration as to the number of professors dismissed for violating the UC student professor dating code, such bamboozling can be quite effective. Such is likely to be effective since the whole process is usually shrouded in secrecy. Charges for violation are confidential and the outcome of such cases are confidential. The name of the alleged victim is confidential as well as the one who is so charged. Of course, it is much more likely that more persons know the name of the alleged offender than the alleged victim. Many times there may be no complaining victims. In the UCLA case, a third party functioned as an informant; whether this informant violated the privacy of of the student and professor was simply of no concern to the UCLA chancellor. The fact that the UCLA chancellor spoke out on this case is what is so exceptional. Obviously the chancellor felt that he had to speak out to make it clear to all concerned that UCLA had a no tolerance policy for professors who violated the consensual dating code and it was of no import to him that the professor had a very strong record of service to the UCLA community; it was also of no concern to him that many students rallied in support of the professor and essentially begged the UCLA administration to not dismiss the professor. Shortly after these public pronouncements the professor was no longer seen on campus.
But here is where this situation takes a bizarre turn. Two years later as far as the UC administration is concerned, this dismissal never occurred. The UC administration is being quite serious when they state there has never been a faculty dismissal under this code. What happened to this professor is shrouded in secrecy. What I speculate happened is that the professor resigned and retired in the context of signing a confidentiality agreement which meant he simply disappeared from campus. I have no idea how many more professors may have disappeared from UCLA or from any of the other University of California campuses. I challenge any student or professor to come up with names and numbers in this area. I doubt that few will take up this challenge since any student or professor seeking such information will probably be held to be under suspicion, and may be subject to various violations of privacy. The fact is that one professor from a mid-western university who published an article on student professor dating a few years ago in a sociology journal ended up being charged with sexual harassment; the professor so charged is a woman; the outcome of her case I believe is pending.
The Dankprofessor holds that SECRECY is a key component in attempting to understand the contemporary context of student professor relationships. A major, if not the most major, function of these codes has been to drive student professor relationships into the closet, the creation of a new campus underground. Fewer and fewer professors are willing to engage in scholarly writing on the subject. For those who do and even hint that these bans are problematic one can be pretty sure that the most hideous labels will be applied to them. When Professor Abramson received his initial public attention in the Chronicle of Higher Education, commentaries published in the Chronicle focused on the good professor's physical appearance indicating that his look was the look of a lecherous professor. In the 1990s when I was one of the few male professors speaking out against these bans, I was subject to myriad character assassinations; such did not deter me, but I do feel that these attacks did deter others from speaking out. Today I can't find paper presentations in any of the major social science associations meetings, whether it be the ASA, APA, regional sociological and psychological associations. There are many many papers on homosexuality and gays, the subject is now thoroughly out of the closet, and thoroughly in the closet when it comes to student professor relationships. Academics play it safe, both students and professors, both tenured and untenured in adhering to appropriate norms regarding the love that dare not speak its name. Of course, I am one of the few exceptions, I only wrote about gay life when the preponderance of gays were still the closet. In 1971, I published an article entitled "Coming Out in the Gay World" which foresaw the upcoming positive changes in the creation of a "public" gay world and a world where homosexuality would no longer be the love that dare not speak its name. Then and now advocates of the closet argue that going public would offend too many good upstanding citizens. So many of the attempts to repress speech and association in contemporary academic life relate to offending sensitive others. How sad! How utterly sad that more and more academics are committed to not offending others. How sad that as of this date not a single professor at the University of Connecticut Law School has come forward in defense of their colleague, Robert Birmingham!
It was back in 1994 in the journal Radical Teacher that sociologist Toni H. Oliviero wrote about the dangerous consequences relating to secrecy that would result from banning student professor relationships. Quoting from this article-
"I am thinking of two things here. First the ways that prohibitions construct the silence of concealment. The establishment of anti-sex rules would create the need to lie (just when gays and lesbians are daring not to in significant numbers). Axiomatic is, There will be sex. There will be consensual relations between all sorts of people. Some of those relations will be only ostensibly consensual, in your view or mine. But sex will happen. Do we want to drive it underground and cause a sexual relationship between two adults to take its shape, even in part, from the narrow and twisted constraints that secrecy imposes? When you prohibit something, you cannot then talk about how to do it as well as possible, or as harmlessly. This constraint on our ability to learn is not in keeping with any notion I can imagine of ourselves as teachers or as citizens."
Yes, another apt title for this post would be ACADEMICS IN CONSTRAINTS, CONSTRAINTS MADE AND IMPOSED BY ACADEMICS.

Apple will be adding facial detection and recognition software to its iOS 5 and make it easier for app developers to use the technology.
Apple has been using some facial recognition software in the OS X Lion implementation of Photo Booth, according to 9to5Mac. But Apple's latest software comes from its 2010 acquisition of Polar Rose, a Swedish company specializing in face detection algorithms. What's different with the new iOS is not only will Apple be using it, but it will be opening up the technology to public developer API for iOS applications.
That means there will likely be dozens of iOS apps using photos of people to get contact information or file them for future use . . . and there's no way to opt out of this.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
When Facebook offered facial recognition technology to its users so they could be tagged in photos, it didn't get the attention it expected -- including complaints to the Connecticut attorney general's office which led to the social network putting out ads explaining how to opt-out of the photo tagging. (But at least with Facebook, you can opt out of being identified. With any new apps or the new iOS, there likely won't be that option.)
In case you can't find these ads or directions on how to opt-out of Facebook photo tagging, the Los Angeles Times gives you this easy walk-through:
- Under the "Account" drop-down menu at the top right, click "Privacy Settings."
- In the "Sharing on Facebook" section, click on "Customize Settings."
- Scroll down to "Suggest Photos of Me to Friends" and click "Edit Settings."
- In the drop-down on the right, click "Disable."
