Ferrari 1 Statistics
Before Dale Calkins took over the running of Ferrari 1, the site was suffering from poor traffic. Now the site boasts around 15,000 hits and over 2000 unique IP visitors per day. This results in monthly statistics of around 300,000 hits and over 30,000 unique IP visitors. This is quite an increase over Ferrari 1's 50,000 hits per month average before Mr. Calkins took over the site.

Controversy On Ferrari 1
Dale Calkins and his Ferrari 1 site have come under certain criticisms for the content on the site's message board. Calkins' completely open forum policy has lead to certain users posting highly questionable topics. Certain topics about the Holocaust started by now banned members were quickly removed by Sportnetwork. Other users began to resort to personal attacks on Ferrari 1's message board and Dale's reluctance to ban them in accordance with his open forum policy also garnered him some negative feedback. Currently Ferrari 1 is not suffering from any sort of controversies as most of the trouble causing users have been banned by Sportnetwork.

The Baron in the Trees
Cosimo, a young Italian nobleman of the eighteenth century, rebels against parental authority by climbing into the threes and remaining there fot the rest of this life. He adapts efficiently to an arboreal existence--hunts, sows crops, plays games with earth-bound friends, fights forest fires, solves engineering problems, and even manages to have love affairs. From his perch in the trees, Cosimo sees the age of Voltaire pass by and a new century dawn.

Robert K. Massie
Robert K. Massie should redirect to Robert K Massie (which is an existing article--the only difference is the lack of a period after the middle initial). Or even better, the content at Robert K Massie should be shifted to Robert K. Massie, and Robert K Massie should redirect there.

Almost all trucks have 'Ok' and 'Bye' (or similar graffiti) printed on either side of 'TATA' sign. This has made the word 'tata' synonymous with bye in India and is used quite frequently.

Basic Access Control
{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 0px; margin-top: 0.2em;" ! |  One or more Articles For Creation have been reviewed. Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it. ''

Basic Access Control (BAC) is a mechanism specified to ensure only authorized parties can wirelessly read personal information from passports with an RFID chip. It uses data such as the passport number, date of birth and expiration date to negotiate a session key. This key can then be used to encrypt the communication between the passports chip and a reading device. This mechanism is intended to ensure that the owner of a passport can decide who can read the electronic contents of the passport.

inner workings
The data used to encrypt the BAC communication can be read electronically from the bottom of the passport called the machine readable zone. Because physical access to the passport is assumed to be needed to know this part of the passport it is assumed that the owner of the passport has giving permission to read the passport. Equipment for optically scanning this part of the passport is already widely used. It uses an OCR system to read the text which is printed in a standardized format.

security
The Basic Access Control mechanism has been criticized as offering to little protection from unauthorized interception. Researchers claim that because there are only limited amounts of passport issued many theoretically possible passport numbers will not be in use in practice. And there are ages in theory that no passport carrying human has in practice. This is because children typically do not request passports and some ages are beyond a normal human lifespan.

In other words, the data used as an encryption key has a low entropy.

It is claimed this brings intercepted but encrypted data in the reach of a modest brute force attack.

This effect increases when passport numbers are issued sequentially or contain a redundant checksum. Both are proven to be the case in passports issued by the Netherlands. There are other factors that can be potentially used to speed up a brute force attack. There is the fact that dates of birth are typically not distributed randomly in populations. Dates of birth may be distributed even less randomly for the segments of a population that pass for example a check in desk at an airport. And the fact that passports are often not issued on all days of the week and during all weeks of a year. Therefore not all theoretically possible expiration dates may get used.

David L. Wylie
I began at PRC over two years ago as a Relay Agent. My role was to relay calls for the hearing impaired community. I accepted the position because it was an opportunity for me to help people in need. Now as a Communications Manager, I can say PRC has really given me the opportunity to grow my career, and do it with confidence.

PRC does a great job of recognizing the talents and hard work of their people and promoting from within. With that in mind, they decided to capitalize on my non-profit and fundraising experience. After I was promoted to Communications Manager, the PRC leaders asked me to also head-up the company’s philanthropic organization, PRC Community Care. I accepted immediately because helping people is something I’m passionate about and truly enjoy. Not to mention, it’s the reason I joined PRC from the beginning.

I can say without a doubt, there is no other position in this entire company of 10,000 people that I’d rather have. I really enjoy the people I work with, and I especially enjoy my customers. I think it goes without saying, I love the PRC Community Care role. It’s great to be able to earn a living, while help others at the same time.” – David L. Wylie, Communications Manager

Opportunity Sample
Opportunity Samples are a frequently used method of sampling in psychology. Opportunity samples involve selecting participants who are around and available at the time.

Strengths: This type of sampling is quick and convenient and usually the most economical method of sampling.

Weaknesses: Because opportunity sampling selects only those participants who are near by and available, it can result in unrepresentative samples and, often, opportunity samples are biased on the part of the researcher who may choose participants who will be 'helpful'.

Howie Hawkins- Green Activist
Howie Hawkins of Syracuse has been active in movements for peace, justice, the environment, and independent progressive politics since the late 1960s. He was a co-founder of the anti-nuclear Clamshell Alliance in 1976 and the Green Party in the United States in 1984.

After attending Dartmouth College, Howie worked as a carpenter, logger, and cooperative business developer. He was a co-developer and co-owner of a construction workers cooperative that specialized in solar and wind energy systems.

Howie came to Syracuse in 1991 to be Director of CommonWorks, a federation of cooperatives working for an economy that is cooperatively owned, democratically controlled, and ecologically sustainable. Howie also works as a truck unloader at UPS, where he a member of Teamsters Local 317 and active in the national Teamster rank-and-file reform caucus, Teamsters for a Democratic Union.

His articles on social theory, cooperative economics, and independent politics have appeared in many publications, including Against the Current, Green Politics, Green Perspectives, The Guardian, In These Times, Independent Politics News, International Socialist Review, Left Green Notes, Liberation, Left Turn, New Politics, Our Generation, Peace and Democracy News, Peaceworks, Resist, The Socialist, Society and Nature, Synthesis/Regeneration, Win, and Z Magazine.

Born in San Francisco, California in 1952, Howie became politically active as a teenager who faced the draft and the escalating war in Vietnam and participated in local struggles for racial and economic justice.

Howie knew he wanted a third party to support by age 11 in 1964 after being repelled by the racism of both major parties. The Republicans, with Ronald Reagan as their spokesperson, campaigned to repeal California’s Rumsford fair housing law. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention seated as voting delegates the segregationist Dixiecrat delegation from Mississippi instead of the integrated Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party delegation.

The Democrats’ Johnson won as the peace candidate in 1964, but then escalated in Vietnam. Though federal civil rights and voting rights acts passed in 1964 and 1965, Johnson’s half-hearted “war on poverty” was sacrificed to the war in Vietnam. So when the Peace and Freedom Party was formed in late 1967 to end US intervention in Vietnam and fight poverty and racism, Howie supported the registration drive to put Peace and Freedom on the ballot even though at age 15, he wouldn’t be able to vote for another 6 years because the law then stated one had to be 21 in order to vote.

Ever since, Howie has been committed to independent political action by poor and working people, with “independent” meaning completely independent of the corporate funding and sponsorship, and completely independent of the corporate rulers’ political representatives, the Democratic and Republican parties.

Howie also participated in the peace, justice, and environmental movements and demonstrations in the Bay Area in his high school years, including Stop the Draft Week in October 1967, the San Francisco State Strike in 1968-69, People’s Park in Berkeley in 1969, the first Earth Day and the nationwide anti-war student strike in 1970, and Black Panther Party proposal for community control of the police in Berkeley, California in 1971.

In the fall of 1971, Howie began attending Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where he studied social and political theory. During his first year in college, college draft deferments were eliminated and Howie draft number was called in July 1972. He immediately enlisted in an off-campus Marine officer-training program before the Army’s draft letter reached him so he could continue his studies. But after a summer of officer training at Quantico in 1974, Howie had to inform the Marines that he did not have the funds for his last year of college. He informed that since he could meet the college degree requirement needed to take an officer‘s commission upon graduation, he was ready to serve as a regular enlistee the 2 years of active duty that he was obligated to serve under his enlistment contract. But the Marines never ordered Howie to active duty. So he spent the duration of his 6-year enlistment period waiting for order to report for active duty, perhaps because of his public activities against the war in Vietnam.

While waiting for orders to report to active duty, Howie remained active in the anti Vietnam War movement, and became active in the anti-nuclear and the anti-apartheid movements. He helped form New Hampshire’s People’s Energy Project in 1974 to fight the proposed Seabrook nuclear power plant, and then the New England-wide Clamshell Alliance in 1976 to organize occupations of the Seabrook nuclear plant site.

After the Soweto massacre in South Africa in 1976, he co-founded the Upper Valley Committee for the Liberation of Southern Africa, helped to form the Northeast Coalition for the Liberation of Southern Africa in 1978, and represented New England on the national anti-apartheid Call to Conscience coordinating committee in the early 1980s.

Howie led several campaigns to link corporate exploitation in South Africa and the US, including domestic redlining by banks lending to South Africa and labor abuse by Phelps Dodge in Namibia and Arizona.

In 1984, Howie organized fellow carpenters to put up a pre-fabricated shanty-town in minutes on the central square at Dartmouth College despite promised resistance from security. Students then occupied the shanty-town, instigating a nationwide wave of shantytown protests that led to many college portfolio divestments of apartheid-linked securities.

During this same period in the 1970s, Howie worked as a carpenter and co-founded in 1978 a construction workers cooperative that specialized in energy efficiency and solar and wind installations. He also worked with students at Dartmouth to form a New Hampshire Public Interest Research Group in 1975. In 1976-77, Howie returned to Dartmouth for his last year of studies, where he completed all the requirements for graduation except learning a foreign language. Howie does speak the Polynesian language of Tonga, where he lived for three months in 1973, but it was not recognized by Dartmouth.

In the 1980s, Howie decided to prioritize his political activity on building an independent progressive political party. He believed that progressive issue campaigns would be more effective if there was an independent people’s party. Without an independent progressive party to give political expression to these issue campaigns, progressive issue campaigners are left to lobby the corporate parties, most often the more “liberal” Democrats, who feel little pressure to act on the campaigners’ demands because they can take progressives’ votes for granted.

In addition, Howie also believed it was important to link single issues to each other and their systemic roots. Without linking issues like a party program does, single-issue campaigns can be easily defeated or co-opted because these campaigns don’t have a perspective that can sustain them for the long haul through the ups and downs of movements and help them understand the difference between token personnel changes and substantive policy changes. On the other hand, an independent party of working people can sustain issue work between periods of popular mobilization by actively advancing their program between elections (unlike the corporate parties which are primarily money collecting and vote mobilizing machines) and by providing education that links issues and provides a systemic analysis.

Howie has been active in every non-sectarian effort to build independent politics, from local independent parties where he lived (Peace and Freedom Party of California, 1968-1971; Liberty Union of Vermont, 1972-1978; Granite State Alliance of New Hampshire, 1974-1978), national independent parties (Peoples Party, 1971-1976; Socialist Party, 1973-present; Citizens Party, 1979-1984; Green Party, 1984-present; Labor Party, 1996-present); and a series of national coalitions committed to independent politics (People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice, 1971-1974; Mass Party Organizing Committee, 1974-1978; Peoples Alliance, 1978-1981; National Committee for Independent Political Action, 1981-1995; Independent Progressive Politics Network, 1995-present).

In 1984, Howie was one of the co-founders of the Green Party in the United States, in which he advocated a more grassroots organizing approach than earlier attempts at building a new progressive party. Instead of trying to build the national party from the top down through a presidential campaign as the Peace and Freedom, Peoples, and Citizens parties had done, the Greens would build local organizations and contest local elections until they had enough of a base to launch a presidential campaign, which the Greens finally did 12 years later when they drafted Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke as their presidential ticket in 1996.

As an activist in these parties, Howie worked on many electoral campaigns, including the Cleaver/Dowd ‘68, Spock/Hobson ‘72, and Commoner/Harris ’80 presidential campaigns, the 1970s Liberty Union campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Michael Parenti, and several Green campaigns in Vermont and New Hampshire between 1985 and 1990. Howie also gained experience by volunteering in the New Hampshire primaries for major party candidates, namely, Pete McCloskey, the anti-war and anti-corruption Republican challenger to Nixon in 1972, and Fred Harris, the anti-corporate populist Democratic candidate in 1976.

Since coming to Syracuse in 1991, Howie has been nominated by the Greens to run for city council, mayor, county executive, state comptroller, and the US House. He has been the Upstate New York Field Coordinator for Nader/LaDuke 2000 and Nader/Camejo 2004. He is also the co-founder and past president of the Green Alliance, a national federation of local Green Party clubs.

Eddie Dee
Eddie Dee is a reggeaton artist most known for his compilation album "Los 12 Discipulos" (Translated literally in Spanish as "The 12 Disciples"), released in early 2004. The album gathered many well-known reggaeton artists such as Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón, Ivy Queen, Zion y Lennox, and Nicky Jam. In late 2005, Eddie Dee released a Special Edition CD/DVD which included 4 new tracks, 5 music videos (as well as other bonus features), and a preview of Eddie Dee's upcoming album, "El Diario de Eddie Avila", dated to be released in 2006. Eddie Dee collaborated with the 11 other reggaton artists on the track, "Quítate Tu Pa' Ponerme Yo" and on the "Salsa Remix" which is a bonus track on the Special Edition of the CD. Aside from this, Eddie Dee also featured La Secta (though they were not essentially a member of Los 12 Discipulos) on one of the new tracks and Daddy Yankee on another.
