Eternal vigilance: Libertarian ideology: give it a break!: "Humans need to embrace multiple ideologies, recognizing that the real world includes great uncertainty and humans have a number of concerns which may complement or conflict with each other. They also need to think more like engineers, treating the world as raw material that can be shaped, bit-by-bit, into one's ideal.

Eternal vigilance: Libertarian ideology: give it a break!
Adam's recent blog entry, now at his own blog, starts on the harsh side but is right on the money at its close. I call myself a "common sense libertarian."
Need a skipper. Take your pick.
Jim Leyand is in town. Get out... These are the guys that should manage the Pirates.
Quiz: Who are these fellows? Where was the photo taken?
Perhaps the Pirates would be able to get both for a good price.

Post agenda is slated for 1:30 on Tue, Sept. 13, 2005, to talk about the plan to turn over a City of Pgh Park to the Salvation Army. They hope to create a new Kroc Center. The Park is in Brighton Heights on the city's North Side.
LIVE CHAT: Embracing NCLB: One School's Experience
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 14, 6 p.m., Eastern Time
WHERE: http://www.edweek-chat.org
Rail Road Flat Elementary, an impoverished, 100-student public school in rural northern California, has become one of the highest-achieving schools in the state and last year was a state nominee for "national model of excellence" status. The school's success has been attributed to strong student discipline and a heavy emphasis on the kind of teach-to-the-test learning that is often frowned upon in more affluent areas. "There's a need for structure," says Rail Road Flat teacher Randall Youngblood. "If I was teaching in another socioeconomic group, it might be different." But what are the drawbacks?
In this chat, Youngblood will discuss his school's approach to academics and classroom management and its attitude toward state and national policy.
Submit advance questions here.
For more information on Rail Road Flat Elementary, read the article "One-Track Minds" in the Aug./Sept. Issue of TEACHER MAGAZINE.
No equipment other than Internet access is needed to participate in this text-based chat. A complete transcript will be posted shortly after the chat's completion.

Duquesne Light -- here we go again?
Are we going to be treated to some new, decrative lighting treatments?
Duquesne Light Making Significant Investment in Region, Creating New Jobs State, County and City Officials to Join Company at Groundbreaking
Morgan K. O'Brien, Duquesne Light president and chief executive officer, will make a major announcement and provide details tomorrow regarding the company's commitment to its customers and the Pittsburgh region.
Scheduled speakers include Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Yablonsky, Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato and Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy.
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 10 a.m.
WHERE: 2835 New Beaver Avenue, Pittsburgh 15233
In the past, the big civic improvement from Duquesne Light was the lighting of a bridge over the river. More was spent on the lights for the bridge than it would have cost to hire eight new teachers to focus on 9th grade math in the city schools. Most of the city school kids in 9th grade fail algebra one. Most get "F"s (or did when the bridge lighting need long jam was cleared).
I'm not sure of the city students' math scores now -- but -- I have a bet that I could find 101 better uses for the bridge lighting project without much thinking.
Mike Brown resigns as director of FEMA.

More news of 2006. But what about 2005?
It used to be, and still is, IMHO, bad form to put a lot of noise into the coverage of elections that are two or three away. It is better to devote most of the talk to the next elections. Why fuss and fast-forward to 2006 fall when 2005 needs to be made clear. If this coverage was in addition to 2005 mentions, I'd not gripe.
U.S. Rep. Melissa Hart of Bradford Woods (www.peoplewithhart.com) is thought to be potentially vulnerable, although the Dems seem to think Murphy is the more vulnerable of the two. Still, two Dems have lined up to challenge Hart already -- Georgia Berner of Butler County (www.georgiaberner.com) and Jason Altmire of McCandless (www.jasonaltmire.com).
Peters Township Democrat Tom Kovach
The seat in the congress is held by Tim Murphy, R. Every two years there is an election for these seats. Next up, 2006.
Thanks for the pointer to Jon Delano, and his PSF email.
Kovach, a loss control engineer for an insurance company, a Navy veteran with a Masters degree from Pitt's GSPIA School, once ran for state House against Republican state Rep. John Maher, and he is mounting a grassroots, issues campaign (www.kovachforcongress.com). Taking a page out of Santorum's book, Kovach is already door-knocking in this three-county district.
Thanks for the pointer to Jon Delano, and his PSF email.
Next crisis: FEMA will issue decoder rings.
I can see the future, and it looks interesting for FEMA and decoder ring makers with big political PAC accounts.
We used to worry about electronic voting machines and paperless ballots. Next it will be decoder rings.
In the hours after the storm, the helicopters will drop decoder rings on the areas impacted by the storm. Other FEMA officials will station themselves at highway rest points and truck stops to hand out rings to those who supply DNA samples.
The rings will help with database management and authenticity.

That Dam Ride -- concluded. I'm going to rest now.
My son, Erik, 10, and I spent the weekend bonding -- while covering 140 miles on a two day bike trip, That Dam Ride.
Great weather. Great trail. Super everything. My boy was great too.
Note to world: I saw three bits of litter on the trail, all today. That's it.
We spent the night in the tent. Sadly, the tent did not make it home with us. Thank goodness there was a lost and found and friendly, responsible locals who helped me get the tent back on Monday. YES! Thanks! The tent is home again.
On the second day, Erik caught onto the skill of "drafting."
Day one we rolled out at 8:03 am under a big cover of fog. Got to the campsite, mile marker 59, at 4:30 pm. The last 20 miles were hard. The ice cream stop with 11-miles to go was NECESSARY.
On the second day we rolled out at 7:47 am -- as in 747 time to fly. And we did. The first 40 miles we must have averaged 12 mph, going 14 or 15 mph in stretches in a few packs. We got to the final spot, mile marker 128, at 3:05 pm. Plus, we had a 45-minute stop.
All in all -- great time.
Nice tunes last night by Wado Young.
I didn't take the digital camera. Got a few film photos from a throw-away camera to post later.
What's next? Perhaps the Junior The Great Race (on Sunday afternoon) and then the Great Race. What else are we missing?

Letter to the editor about Katrinia and its lesson
Worthy of a reprint here:
Lessons from Katrina
Saturday, September 10, 2005
Not surprisingly, the "blame game" is in full swing, an aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Individuals are busy pointing fingers and agreeing when the blame is placed on everyone in sight -- everyone, that is, except you and me (and they are not too sure about you).
They are expecting perfection from a government that cannot perform even its legitimate basic functions well.
The excess reliance on government, relieving the individual of responsibility, was initiated in the 1930s and has proliferated since.
This misguided thinking is not what grew this country and made it prosperous; this misguided thinking is bound to make this country poor.
This philosophy says it is the government's fault if people are poor, and that all are entitled to an affluent old age. This is embodied in our failing Social Security system.
When are people going to stop relying on the government to do everything? Perhaps Hurricane Katrina will help us to become sane?

Bobcats are beating Panthers headed into halftime
The OU Band takes the field -- and the scoreboard might change from 10-7 to 17-7 -- as the OU Marching 110 rock and roll.
Go Bobcats!
Sorry Wanny.
Let's see what the second half brings. Sorry the ESPN 2 coverage didn't show a few measures of the band's performance. :(
By the way -- I'm an 1982 Ohio University graduate. I'm pulling for MY University -- a place that was very good to me and good for me.
Our tent and sleeping bags, as well as new bike rack (thanks Nancy) and gear is packed for the weekend road trip. Erik, my oldest, and I are doing a 69-mile trek on Saturday and a return 69-miles on Saturday.
So, I'm no mail until Sunday night. I might wake up around Tuesday!

Keep the pork out of Katrinia Relief Aid
Following last week's devastating hurricane and flooding in the Gulf region, Congress acted quickly to pass an initial $10.5 billion relief package. On Tuesday, President Bush asked for an additional $40 billion, bringing the total to more than $50 billion. This amount could double to $100 billion.
History has shown Congress' propensity to take advantage of emergency supplemental spending bills by inserting funds for their member's own pet projects. Even though funds are desperately needed by Hurricane Katrina's victims, members of Congress will undoubtedly still attempt to insert some self-serving pork. Already, there are calls for aid for drought relief in the mid-West, even though such funding could be provided through the regular appropriations bills for fiscal year 2006, which Congress has yet to approve.
The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) has challenged members of Congress to block funding for unrelated pork projects in its aid for hurricane recovery and to help offset the costs by returning the $24 billion for the 6,400 earmarks in the recently enacted highway bill. Please write to your legislators today (http://www.cagw.org/site/R?i=cAy3qmMdFsDC3dBGW4FSgg.. ). Urge them to sign CCAGW's "Hurricane Katrina No Pork Pledge," through which they can vow to oppose any project or provision that is not directly related to the impact of Hurricane Katrina in any supplemental appropriations bill that provides funds for hurricane relief.
Emergency supplemental bills have become a magnet for pork because they do not count against House and Senate budget caps and such bills are always signed by the President. Past examples include:
· In April 2005, the $80 billion Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief (H.R. 1268) included $25 million for the Fort Peck Fish Hatchery in Montana.
· In October 2003, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) grabbed $1.4 million for three projects in Pennsylvania, including $1 million to establish centers of excellence for the treatment of autism, in the fiscal 2003 Emergency Supplemental portion of the fiscal 2004 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act.
· In April 2003, the $78.5 billion War Supplemental Appropriations bill included 29 unrelated projects, which cost more than $348 million, including: $110 million for the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa; $22.7 million for a Capitol power plant; and $200,000 for Light of Life Ministries in Allegheny County, Pa.
Congress' propensity for pork has already impacted the government's ability to protect New Orleans residents by wasting funds on parochial pork-barrel projects that could have gone toward improvements on the city's breeched levees. This is just one example of taxpayer dollars serving member's home state interests and not solving infrastructure problems of national significance. This week, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) released its annual Prime Cuts report, listing the worst $2
trillion in government spending and detailing a plan to stop Congress's skyrocketing spending and redirecting funds to important national priorities. The savings from Prime Cuts could be used to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
If there has ever been a time for Congress to reject pork and cut the waste, that time is now. The widespread devastation and loss of life resulting from this disaster should shame members of Congress into forgoing egregious spending that will hinder recovery efforts and add to the deficit. Please write to your Representative and Senators today and urge them to sign CCAGW's "Hurricane Katrina No Pork Pledge" and not waste precious tax dollars needed by struggling disaster victims: http://www.cagw.org/site/R?i=XC3rVrNbSql6yylhZaJxMQ..
Sincerely, Thomas A. Schatz, President, CCAGW
VOLUNTEERS SURF and SCRUB THE WEB TO HELP RECONNECT FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR MEDIA:
WASHINGTON, Friday, September 09, 2005 — The largest collection of data on the web about evacuees and survivors has been pulled together by volunteers and programmers working long hours for the last week. The http://www.katrinalist.net is a collection of survivor information from across dozens of sites. The project was launched to provide information on survivors to family and friends across the web. The http://www.katrinalist.net site forms a needed complement to a pending launch of newer efforts to organize data by the Red Cross, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security.
The "official sites" will be focusing on new more structured data collected from people in shelters and from those interacting with government programs and relief organizations. http://www.Katrinalist.net is the complement to whatever official collection all the informal data from bulletin boards, discussion forms and sites across the web. Katrinalist.net will provide data to Katrinasafe.com (also know at this blog as the jagoffs.)
Those seeking information on family should first search www.katrinasafe.com and then www.katrinalist.net. These sites represent the best collection of data and the best hope for helping family and friends locate each other.
Evacuees wishing to inform loved ones of their location can register or post information about survivors at http://www.katrinasafe.com/WebEntryApplication/entryform.aspx
Report a Missing Person at http://www.katrinasafe.com/WebEntryApplication/InquiryEntryForm.aspx
These are all voluntary and self-reporting tools. All media outlets and those hosting discussion boards, search tools and other information on survivors or offering connections to families are asked to redirect search traffic and data input to these sites.
Additional Background:
The project was launched as the core team started to realize that too many sites were collecting data and stories on families looking for or posting the status of their friends and neighbors. In the moments leading up to the storm dozens of sites launched services to help their members, including: New Orleans Newspapers (NOLA.com), TV and radio sites, Craigslist, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo, Blogs and the Red Cross. In the hours following the storm companies, college students and volunteers began to set up databases for people to add and search information.
On Friday the 9th, The American Red Cross, with support of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement launched a web site and hotline to help assist family members who are seeking news about loved ones living in the path of Hurricane Katrina.
Dozens of message boards have sprung up around the country since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, promising to throw a technological lifeline to families that have been ripped apart. At the same time, the proliferation of registries has also made it increasingly difficult to figure out where to find information on missing loved ones.
"If I'm a refugee trying to find my brother, I would have to search 20 databases and 25 online forums," said David Geilhufe, chief executive of the Social Source Foundation, a charity set up to create software for other non-profits. "It's a huge problem."
Enter Katrinalist.net. The all volunteer team created a searchable directory of persons displaced or affected by Hurricane Katrina, consolidating over 25 different online resources into one central, searchable repository. PeopleFinder Interchange Format, (called 'PFIF') is a new, standardized data format implemented in XML.
Katrina People Finder (www.katrinalist.net) helps in the organization of data about people affected by major storms such as Hurricane Katrina and speeds searches by allowing many organizations to contribute to a central repository. The interchange format of Katrina People Finder makes automated search and retrieval of data about people quick and easy. Common data will help automated systems to connect displaced individuals via automatic categorization and matching.
The Kartinalist.net PeopleFinder database now contains just barebones information -- such as name, phone number, last known address and status. But Dean Robison of Salesforce.com, a San Francisco software firm that is providing the technology to run the consolidated database, said it could easily be expanded in the future to speed rescue and relief operations in further disasters.
The Power of Community
The Katrina PeopleFinder Project mobilized hundreds of volunteers over the Labor Day weekend to make an immediate difference. That immediate difference is at http://www.katrinalist.net/, a searchable database of almost 400,000 PeopleFinder Interchange Format-compliant, volunteer-entered, missing and found persons reports from across the web. Having a single, searchable resource is critical due to limited internet access for evacuees and their families. The team plans to turn its attention to housing and job solutions next, creating a centralized technology solution that aggregates a comprehensive resource set from sites all across the web, standardizes them, and makes them searchable from anywhere.

Don't ride your bike on the sidewalks of the South Side! Get off and walk. A few customers of stores have gotten run down by fast moving bike riders in recent days. Get onto the street and go fast or walk on the sidewalk.
