Message-ID: Hey Everybody, Saint Mary's Hall (SMH) in San Antonio, T.X., is a private school with great resources, great students, and a great vision for the future of their debate program. They are looking for a coach that will take the school to the next level of competitive high school debate. SMH is looking for someone to run a varsity squad that competes at the top tournaments and top round robins in the nation and they understand the commitment necessary to achieve that goal. Since SMH is looking for a coach to help build a national powerhouse program, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone to jump in and make their mark. Saint Mary's Hall is a private school and DOES NOT require a teaching certificate. If you are interested in learning more, email Eric Geyer, Speech and Debate Teacher, (egeyer at smhall.org) and check out the description below. Position: Debate Coach Saint Mary's Hall seeks applicants for a debate coaching position for the 2009-2010 academic year. Saint Mary's Hall is committed to developing a premier policy debate program. Ideal candidates will have extensive experience participating and coaching high school or college policy debate. The primary coaching responsibilities include extensive travel, judging practice debates, and preparing students for competition at the highest levels of national competition. In short, we are looking for a person committed to building a nationally competitive policy debate program. (Note: Although Lincoln-Douglas has not historically been a focus of the program, consideration will be given to candidates who are interested in building a highly competitive program that embraces BOTH Policy and L-D or even a predominantly L-D program.) Primary teaching responsibilities include teaching 1-2 debate classes during the first year. Other teaching opportunities may be available depending on the candidate's educational background. Unlike most public school positions, a teaching certificate is NOT required, however, candidates must have completed their Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science before the 2009-2010 academic year. For more information about this position, please contact Eric Geyer at egeyer at smhall.org.

Other members of the working group include Jarrod Atchison of Trinity University, Matt Gerber of Baylor, Kelly McDonald of Arizona State, and Jeff Jarman of Wichita State. For those of you who don't know me, I was the Director of Forensics at Baylor for five years in the 1980s and then for three more at KU and am currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the NDT. Our working group has the assignment of looking at the professional status of debate coaches and exploring whether a successor document to the Quail Roost Statement on the web site of the AFA might be created that could be used by debate coaches in various types of positions to explain to the administration of their particular school the appropriate professional standards for evaluating their work. One problem that coaches face again and again is that university administrations don't understand the demands of competitive debate and traditional standards for tenure and promotion are often inappropriate. This has caused many universities, including my own, to move to some kind of appointment for the debate coach other than that of a tenure-track faculty member. As a first step in carrying out our assignment, we want to gather information about the nature of your appointment and the standards by which it is evaluated. Of course, this information will be kept confidential and we will report only data within categories. Jarrod Atchison has graciously agreed to analyze this data. We hope you will take a moment and email him information about your appointment and the way it is evaluated. His email is jarrod.atchison at gmail.com. Please copy me on that message as well. My email is rrowland at ku.edu. We also would value any insights that you might have on the document that the working group eventually will draft. It is our hope that we can describe appropriate evaluative standards for a number of different types of appointments for debate coaches. As someone who has both been an active coach and a department chair for a decade, I know that the demands on coaches are enormous and very different from those of other faculty members. We want to create a document that will provide context for the role of coach and specify standards for evaluation that both reflect the pedagogical goals of debate and fairly account for the enormous workload required by contemporary debate. Debate has been the most important influence in my academic life. And my debate coach, Dr. Donn Parson, has been (and remains) an enormously influential mentor. For the future health of the activity, it is important that we identify reasonable standards for evaluating the professional accomplishment of debate coaches. We very much would value your participation in that effort. Robin Robert C.

Who do we send CEDA eligibility info to? I know this deadline is quickly approaching, but if something about who these forms are sent to was posted I must have missed it. 2. When should we expect an invite with hotel information, rates, etc.? I ask for purposes of planning my expenditures for the rest of the season, and it is difficult to do so without knowing how much CEDA Nationals will cost.

Tournament Rules and Procedures: Eligibility: Participating schools must be members of CEDA at the time of registration. Each debate team entered in this tournament must consist of two students, each of whom presents one constructive speech and one rebuttal speech. Unless otherwise provided dispensation by the CEDA Executive Council, the term "students" is defined as "officially enrolled undergraduate students in good standing at the college or university they represent in competition." Tournament contestants must not have competed for more than the maximum of five different, not necessarily consecutive, academic years. Participation in other forms of post-secondary debate will factor into eligibility calculation when conditions in subsequent subsections are met. Three-person teams and one-person teams will notof the tournament. Students may participate in no more than four CEDA National Tournaments. A stamped Registrar Seal from the student's school must verify that each student is registered for the Spring 2009 term. See the CEDA Constitution and Bylaws if you have eligibility questions. Entries: Each member school may enter teams provided the conditions are met in the cover letter of this invitation. The practice of entering hybrid school teams is allowed. Teams may be composed of two students from different member schools, as long as the judging requirements are met. A mixed team must be entered on the entry blank of BOTH schools, with the school identification of each student clearly indicated. Entry Procedures: No phone or email entries will be accepted. Entries must be completed on-line at http://debateresults.com AND eligibility forms must be sent through Certified Mail. Certified Mail must be postmarked by March 6th, 2009 (March 12th for late entries). You should not assume your entry has arrived until you receive an email or fax confirmation. Changes, including drops or name changes, will be accepted by phone or email. If you make a name change after you mail in the registration, you are required to supply a stamped registrar's seal verifying that each changed name student is enrolled for Spring 2009 term before the end of check-in registration. To make a change in your entry call Darren Elliott at 316-214-9502 or email at CEDA2009 at gmail.com. DO NOT GIVE CHANGES TO ANYONE EXCEPT DARREN ELLIOTT. Your registration is not complete until you complete the check-in registration on March 20th. You will not be entered into the tournament if you do not complete check-in registration during the designated time for registration. If travel delays beyond your control occur, please see the tabroom staff as soon as you reach the tournament to verify your entry and judging preferences. FEES: Entry fees will be assessed at $120.00 per team. Judging fees will be assessed at $120.00 per uncovered two-person unit. Host fees will be assessed at $40.00 per school. Checks must be made payable to CEDA. Payment may also be made online through the website. As soon as it can be enabled, we will begin accepting payments by credit card. Please follow the instructions at the website. All entries made by March 6th, 2009 will pay the above charges. Entries will be accepted until Thursday March 12th, 2009, but entries made after March 6th, 2009 will incur a $25 late charge added to each of the above stated fees. NO registrations will be accepted after March 12th. If your fees are not paid in full by the time of awards, your school will not be eligible to receive sweepstakes trophies or advance in elimination rounds. Changes, including drops or name changes, will be accepted by phone or email. If you make a name change after you mail in the registration, you are required to supply a stamped registrar's seal verifying that each changed name student is enrolled for the Spring 2009 term before the end of check-in registration. Equipment: Students using AV equipment in their debate rounds are asked to transport their own equipment. We cannot guarantee any debate team will be placed in a room with available AV equipment. Divisions: Competition will be held in one division. This division is open to all eligible debaters. All debates will operate on a 9-3-6 model with 10 minutes per team for preparation. There will be a separate elimination round bracket for teams comprised of 2 Novices and declaring during the registration, their intent to participate in the Novice elims should they qualify. Judging Requirements: Each school is responsible for providing one qualified judge for the first two teams entered. If more than two teams are entered, the school must either provide additional qualified judges or pay a judging fee of $120.00 per uncovered team. In order to assure the best judging pool possible, ALL JUDGES ARE COMMITTED FOR A MINIMUM OF FOUR PRELIMINA(Quarterfinal Round in Novice bracket), whether or not their teams break to elimination rounds. If any team from a school breaks to elimination rounds, all judges from that school are committed to judge one round beyond the elimination of the school from competition. I would also be very grateful to any judge who would be willing to donate extra rounds. One of the largest expenses in running the tournament is hiring judges. Judging Practices: All judges must render a decision in each assigned round. One team must win and the opposing team must lose. Speaker points on a range of 0 - 30 must be assigned to each speaker. The smallest speaker point increment the tab room will count will be .5. Judging Philosophies: All judges must provide a judging philosophy statement or they cannot judge. Philosophy statements from all judges for a school must accompany the school's entry and be entered electronically on http://debateresults.com. Judging Assignment Procedure and Preference Forms: Assignment of judges will be done according to a mutual preference system from an available pool of critics. More details on the precise methodology will follow. Judges failing to pick up an assigned ballot will be assessed a $30.00 fee. This fee will need to be paid to the Treasurer prior to the Awards Assembly. Any ballot not picked up in rounds occurring after the Awards Ceremony, will also result in a $30.00 fee, billed to the school for whom the judge represents. Preference forms turned in before 3:00 PM Friday will be honored for the whole tournament. Forms turned in after the 3:00 PM deadline but before the beginning of Round 1 will be honored in all rounds after Round 3. No forms will be accepted after the start of Round 1. Beginning with the octofinal round until the semifinal round, we will also supply strike cards consisting of five critics selected by the mutual preference system. Each team will be allowed to strike one critic to determine the final panel of judges. To assure that judges are assigned fairly, it will be the obligation of coaches, judges, and contestants to indicate any conflicts on the entry form. We urge judges to avoid the appearance of impropriety by excusing themselves from hearing teams with whom they have recent close association or imminent future associations. Associations include judging and traveling with a team, coaching a member of a team, being a recent graduate of that school, being romantically involved with member(s) of the team, etc. Judges should also excuse themselves from judging teams from schools at which they are planning to coach next year. Statement on Discrimination and Sexual Harassment/Statement on Ethical Principles: The Cross Examination Debate Association is dedicated to the principle of free expression and the exploration of ideas in an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect. Related to this principle is the belief that all members of this community will have access to CEDA debate activities without regard to race, creed, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or non-disqualifying handicap. In keeping with these principles, the CEDA National Tournament will abide by the guidelines and procedures of CEDA's Statement on Discrimination and Sexual Harassment and the CEDA Statement of Ethical Principles. Please inform your students that a Sexual Harassment Officer will be available to hear any complaints at the tournament. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990: The CEDA National Tournament will make reasonable accommodations for all qualified tournament participants. The name of individuals and the nature of the accommodation requested should be noted in the registration process. Tobacco, Alcohol and Illegal Substances Policy: There will be no smoking, alcohol consumption or use of illegal substances in any competition at the 2009 CEDA National Tournament. Individuals violating this rule should expect to be asked to leave the tournament. We ask that all Directors of Forensics, coaches, and judges communicate this expectation to student competitors. Matching: will be power matched based on the records from all previous rounds. Rounds 3 and 5 will be high-high; the rest will be high-low within win-loss brackets. Elimination Rounds: Teams will break to elimination rounds and be placed in bracket order based on the following formula: win/loss record, adjusted team speaker points dropping the highest and lowest rounds, total team speaker points, double high/low, and strength of schedule. Brackets will not be broken in elimination rounds should two teams from the same school be scheduled to meet each other. Mixed-team schools will be granted "same team" status for matching purposes. In the event that two teams from the same school are scheduled to debate in the elimination rounds, the school involved must indicate to the tournament director which team will advance at the beginning of that round. Novice Break Out Elimination Rounds: As per the mission of the Cross Examination Debate Association, and recognizing the importance of Novice members of our community, the 2009 CEDA National Tournament will offer an additional Elimination Round bracket for teams comprised of 2 Novices as per the CEDA definition. The size of the bracket will be determined by the number of eligible Novice entries, but is expected to be at the Quarter-Final level. The Novice Breakout Bracket is expected to begin it's Quarter-Finals during the Double Octo-Finals round of the National Tournament, with its conclusion during the Quarter-Finals round of the National Tournament. All judges are obligated through the Double Octos of the National Tournament. When you mail your registration materials, you must indicate any teams comprised of 2 Novice debaters who would like to be considered for the Novice Breakout Bracket. Judge preferences will be in effect for the Novice Breakout Bracket, with explicit instructions to the tab room staff, to first place judges in the National Championship Bracket rounds, then to place judges in the Novice Breakout Bracket rounds. Teams qualifying for elimination rounds in the National Championship Bracket, will not be eligible to enter the Novice Breakout Bracket. Awards: Awards will be presented to all elimination round participants and to the top twenty speakers in the preliminary rounds. Sweepstakes awards will be presented as that information becomes available. Regional awards not already presented will be mailed to recipients at the conclusion of the National Tournament. Additional hosting arrangements and updates will be posted at www.cedadebate.org as they become available. We look forward to seeing you all in Pocatello in March!

This is a very good opportunity to get high-quality rounds for your younger and less experienced debaters at a very reasonable cost. dch umn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have set the final field at 150 teams and are looking forward to a very large and very competitive tournament. We ask that you take a few steps in your preparation to make your time in Evanston easier. 1) Please label your evidence by school and team. We are going to do our best to provide evidence movement throughout the tournament, but clearly labeled evidence will assist in our movement and your retrieval.2) Registration will be at the Hotel Orrington Globe Room from 6:30 to 8:30 on Friday. Pairings for rounds 1-4 will be released shorlty afterward. 3) A change in tournament procedure from the invitation-- For round 7 the tab room will flip the coin and assign sides, this is in contradiction to our original invitation that indicated there would be individual round flips. The results of that flip will still count towards the side equalization formula for elimination rounds. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding these proceedures. 4) Weather update- The weather predicted for this weekend is a "balmy" 45 degrees. But a large chance of rain throughout the weekend. Please pack accordingly As always if there is anything Dan or I can do to make your visit to Evanston easier please let us know. Best, LH Luke P.

A couple of you have looked for it on the website. Here is what you should do: Get from your Admissions or Registrars office a simple document with your name, school name, and names of all debaters you may plan to bring (even last minute subs). List their names on the document. Have the Registrar/Admissions Rep review the names, sign the form, date it, and attach your University/College Seal. Mail those documents to me by the postmark date in the invitation. It can be very similar to what you mail Tim O'Donnell for NDT purposes. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CEDA ELIGIBILITY LANGUAGE APPEARS ON THE DOCUMENT. It is below in quotes. Following that is a sample form I use for NDT, CEDA, and PRP. "officially enrolled undergraduate students in good standing at the college or university they represent in competition" CEDA allows each member institution to define what "good standing" means. Also remember, if a student has already earned their undergraduate degree, they may still compete at CEDA if they earned that degree in the time block which CEDA occurs. EXAMPLE FORM: TO: Tim O'Donnell--NDT Darren Elliott--CEDA FROM: Darren Elliott--KCKCC The following list of students are officially enrolled undergraduate students in good standing at KCKCC during the Spring 2009 semester.

I hope that everyone's Spring semester is off to a good start. As you complete your travel plans for CEDA Nationals at Idaho State this year, I wanted to encourage those of you flying into Salt Lake City to consider taking a shuttle from the airport to Pocatello and using the hotel to campus transportation that has been arranged for each day of competition rather than renting a car. I think you will find this option both cheaper and a more convenient choice. Below is the booking information for the CEDA-arranged shuttle transportation from SLC to Pocatello and the return trip to the airport. In addition, CEDA will be providing shuttle services for free from the hotel to tournament and back again each day once you arrive in Pocatello. This information is in the CEDA Nationals invitation under rental car information. Airport shuttle arrangements can be made through Salt Lake Express at http://www.saltlakeexpress.com/ When you click on reservations, choose the Salt Lake City Airport departure and the Pocatello Idaho arrival and then back to Salt Lake City Airport on the dates you are scheduled to travel. In the promo code box, enter CED09 to receive the discounted rate. The next screen will provide you with all of the departure choices for both your airport to Pocatello travel. The shuttles run regularly, every two hours between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. from the airport and between 3:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. from Pocatello back to the airport. So, no matter what your travel times are, you should be able to get a shuttle without having too much of a wait at the airport coming or going. The discounted rate will be $30 per person going each direction - which is $12 cheaper than the usual rate - a $24 savings per person for the round trip. They can accommodate small or large numbers with their vehicles, so there are no minimum or maximum group numbers to receive the discount. I researched the cost of rental cars and found mini-vans to run between $350 and $400 for a mini-van (which would barely fit 6 people and tubs) plus the cost of gas (and some of these at this price had mileage restrictions), while the shuttle will only run you $360 for the six people. The cost is fixed and guaranteed and you have no worries about getting the right vehicle when you arrive and having enough room for your people, tubs and luggage. The shuttle drops off at a Shell Station that is right between the tournament hotel and the overflow hotel, meaning easy access to the pick-up and drop-off points. I hope that many of you will consider using this option as it will give us some idea of what we can do for group discounts in the future and give us some bargaining power for future CEDA Nationals. If you have any questions about the shuttle service, please feel free to contact me.

I will be at Northwestern this weekend with receipts if anyone would like to pay me directly there. I can accept cash or check (made out to the National Debate Tournament). If you have to pay by credit card you may do so on the AFA website, but this is really a pain for me. If you do that, then make sure that you send me a copy of your electronic receipt showing that you have paid so I can certify to John Fritch that you have paid and your team can be put on the ballot. If you will not be at Northwestern, you can send a check to me at 324 Franklin St., Cambridge MA 02139. It must reach me before the First-Round ballot goes out. Our high school tournament is next weekend and I will not have time to track people down to collect this money. I would really appreciate it if as many people as possible could get this taken care of at Northwestern this weekend.

Many Jews in a America find compromise between the demands of Judaism and the constraints of a secular/Christian social landscape by choosing to eat in accordance with certain dietary restrictions in the home, but also follow a separate set of guidelines for outside of the home; separating meat from milk when at home, but allowing yourself to eat a cheeseburger at a restaurant would be one example. If you follow a particular set of dietary guidelines, but give yourself more flexibility outside of the home, or how you were raised in this fashion, I would really appreciate the opportunity to interview you for my thesis sometime towards the end of the tournament.

I'm as guilty as everyone else of taking my time to get to a debate, letting people take extra prep before & during a debate, and losing track of time while I make a decision.

Docs can be uploaded electronically Message-ID: <498DCCA0020000930002456C@mymail.kckcc.edu> Greetings Debate Community! Thanks to the work of Jon Bruschke, you can now upload your eligibility documents electronically at debateresults.com as opposed to certified mail. Once you receive your elig. document from your Registrar (most of you might already have these for NDT purposes), you should scan them to your computer and save them as an image file (.jpg, etc). Once you have done this you can go to debateresults.com On the left hand side under Account Management you will see a link to submit CEDA/NDT Elig docs electronically. Choose that link and follow the directions. Once uploaded I will be able to see them and verify eligibility. If your NDT document did not include the same names of those you might bring to CEDA, or if you did not submit NDT docs, please make sure the CEDA submission includes the names of all debaters you plan to bring to CEDA. The document should include language similar to the CEDA constitution requirements for CEDA eligibility, the names of your debaters, graduation dates if applicable and if graduated in this time block, a signature and date by your College/University Registrar or designee, and a seal of the College/University. You may want them to ink the seal in order for it to show up once scanned. If you have any problems with the upload, please contact Jon or myself. Again, Jon's work is making this process easier and moving us towards more efficiency. thanks, chief Darren Elliott Director of Debate and Forensics--KCKCC CEDA President From alfred.snider at uvm.edu Sun Feb 8 04:12:46 2009 From: alfred.snider at uvm.edu (Alfred Snider) Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2009 05:12:46 -0500 Subject: [eDebate] Watch the video of the first virtual debate Message-ID: <498EB01E.5090100@uvm.edu> The debate in Second Life is now available for viewing. There has now been a successful academic debate held in a virtual world. You can watch it without going there. http://globaldebateblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/watch-first-debate-in-virtual-reality.html A couple of things about the video seem clear: * This technique works * We need to turn down the microphones just a bit * We can experiment more with camera angles when making a video * We need to find a way to video the debte without the file being so big (15 GB). Google Video did eventually process it. Steve Llano of St. John's and I are now thinking and planning for how to use this medium further. If you want to get involved, please contact us. Some background: On the night of February 4 2009 two USA universities staged a debate about abolishing faculty tenure and held the debate in a virtual reality. At 8:07 PM the debate between St. John's University and the University of Vermont began in a virtual debating hall built in Second Life, a virtual reality. Avatars debated each other using the real voices of the individuals while an audience of avatars watched and then made comments and asked questions after the debate. The organizers, Steve Llano of St. John's University and Alfred Snider of the University of Vermont, declared the debate a success in a variety of ways: * The technology worked well. Except for one brief microphone outage the process was error free, although some microphones were a bit too loud. * The room was full. Only so many people can be in a Second Life space and that limit was hit. Others were instant messaging to get in and ended up watching it on a video projection. * Tricky segments such as points of information also went well, with a natural flow. * The text messaging of comments from the audience during the debate worked well for involvement without interrupting the debate. * Observers from a number of countries were there, and the debate was chaired by Peter Mesarec of Slovenia. * There was quite a buzz afterwards as the possibilities of the event began to make themselves clear - training sessions, team meetings, a global tournament and a lot more. * Some audience members were unable to resist the temptation to fly around the room but this was not disruptive. For those who have not seen what Second Life looks like, you can view the invitation at http://vimeo.com/3080355 where Steve Llano talks about the event through his avatar. Attending the debate was as easy as establishing a free account and downloading the Second Life software, which is available at http://www.secondlife.com. Those unfamiliar with the Second Life environment are encouraged to spend time becoming familiar with the program before any future debate. For those already established in Second Life, the SURL for the debate room is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emgeetee/110/154/24. Clicking on the link will transport you to the debate venue if you have the Second Life software installed. -- Alfred C.

Message-ID: hey, don't worry, he won't be learning from his mistakes all 4 years. rohttp://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/02/09/state_secrets/index.htmlYesterday, enthusiastic Obama supporter Andrew Sullivan wrote about this case: "Tomorrow in a federal court hearing in San Francisco, we'll find out if the Obama administration intends to keep the evidence as secret as the Bush administration did." As I wrote after interviewing Wizner two weeks ago: "This is the first real test of the authenticity of Obama's commitment to reverse the abuses of executive power over the last eight years." Today, the Obama administration failed that test --resoundingly and disgracefully:Obama Administration Maintains Bush Position on 'Extraordinary Rendition' LawsuitThe Obama Administration today announced that it would keep the same position as the Bush Administration in the lawsuit Mohamed et al v Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc.A source inside of the Ninth U.S. District Court tells ABC News that a representative of the Justice Department stood up to say that its position hasn't changed, that new administration stands behind arguments that previous administration made, with no ambiguity at all. The DOJ lawyer said the entire subject matter remains a state secret.This is not going to please civil libertarians and human rights activists who had hoped the Obama administration would allow the lawsuit to proceed.The ACLU's Wizner said this:We are shocked and deeply disappointed that the Justice Department has chosen to continue the Bush administration?s practice of dodging judicial scrutiny of extraordinary rendition and torture. This was an opportunity for the new administration to act on its condemnation of torture and rendition, but instead it has chosen to stay the course. Now we must hope that the court will assert its independence by rejecting the government?s false claims of state secrets and allowing the victims of torture and rendition their day in court.What makes this particularly appalling and inexcusable is that Senate Democrats had long vehemently opposed the use of the "state secrets" privilege in exactly the way that the Bush administration used it in this case, even sponsoring legislation to limits its use and scope. Yet here is Obama, the very first chance he gets, invoking exactly this doctrine in its most expansive and abusive form to prevent torture victims even from having their day in court, on the ground that national security will be jeopardized if courts examine the Bush administration's rendition and torture programs -- even though (a) the rendition and torture programs have been written about extensively in the public record; (b) numerous other countries have investigated exactly these allegations; and (c) other countries have provided judicial forums in which these same victims could obtain relief. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live?: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/howitworks?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_howitworks_022009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We know this is a busy time for all, but there are some important updates for CEDA Nationals hotel items. The community has reserved most of the primary block at the Red Lion River Inn. They still have kings available, but if you need double beds you should contact the Best Western Cotton Tree. They have made available a block of 60 double bed rooms. They are working on a link to register on-line. However, please start making your reservations today. The Best Western is within walking distance (4-5 minutes) of the Red Lion (which will house the opening awards as well as the last day of elimination rounds). This area is also serviced by our daily shuttles to campus. They also offer free wireless internet and hot breakfast. People may call 208-237-7650 to make reservations under "CEDA".? If there are any problems, Mike is the contact.? The block expires March 1, but we it will likely fill before that date. Please do not contact the Holiday Inn. They are also out of non-smoking doubles at this point. We are working hard to control costs for this tournament and we encourage you to minimize your car rentals and look into the airport shuttling we have suggested. If you are facing extreme financial situations, please contact us and we can help you make alternate rooming arrangements.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in March. We hope you will be joining us and supporting the Rocky Mountain Region, Idaho State, and Sarah Partlow as they put on a fine National Tournament. A couple things to tend to at this time: 1. Please enter on debateresults as soon as you can. I know its a busy time of year, but we are planning events, and Sarah is working hard to ensure enough hotel availability to meet everyone's needs. We have added the Best Western to our block today and the information is posted on edebate, ceda-l, and updated on the invitation. Please enter soon so we have an idea on numbers. And again, if you have financial difficulties when it comes to housing, please contact Sarah for alternatives. 2. Remember to submit awards via the website by Feb. 20th. 3. You can use debateresults.com to upload scanned .jpg files of your eligibility documents, saving you time and hassle of mailing them. 4. Please inform me of any teams you have that are comprised of 2 novices (following the CEDA definition) that you want to be eligible for the Novice Elim rounds. If you need anything, please feel free to contact myself or Sarah. We look forward to hosting you.

We will have AT LEAST two positions available with the team for next year and a number of teaching assistantships with the public speaking program that could transition into positions with the team the second year in the program. Chico's forensics program offers both NDT/CEDA debate and AFA Individual Events and we are looking for people to help with both sides of the program. Our travel is primarily within the state of California with one or two tournaments out-of-state each semester depending on student abilities, availability of national competition in California, etc. Our program has a long history of success in both policy debate and individual events, but we are in a state of rebuilding the program after a year hiatus two years ago. We have a young team where someone who is interested in contributing to competitive success can really make a meaningful contribution. We have a healthy budget despite the recent economic conditions in California and I see no looming threats to the budget in the upcoming years. The Department of Communication Studies offers coursework in Rhetoric, Communication Theory & Philosophy, Political Communication, Intercultural Communication, Interpersonal Communication and Organizational Communication. Our faculty has a number of newly minted PhDs who are eager to work with graduate students and who are doing exciting research and they are very supportive of the Speech and Debate team. Teaching Assistants receive a teaching stipend that is amongst the highest for MA programs in the nation and we have produced graduates who have gone on to successfully complete PhD programs, receive tenure track teaching positions at Community Colleges, as well as professional positions at both for-profit and non-profit businesses throughout California. The program offers either a thesis or a comprehensive exam track for completing the degree. The application deadline for Fall admission is March 1, 2009 and information on the application process is available at http://www.csuchico.edu/cmas/cmst/masters/application.php Please check it out and if you have any questions, get in touch with me. Chico is a great town with a reasonable cost of living - something you don't often find in California!

Message-ID: <1234390764.49934eecb6315@webmail.grandecom.net> One of my former debaters who went on to debate for Southern illinois and who is now a lawyer recently got back in touch with me. I thought I would pass the following unsolcited response to reading this years topic (LOL): "I went to look up this year's topic and found this on the NDT website: Resolved: that the United States Federal Government should substantially reduce its agricultural support, at least eliminating nearly all of the domestic subsidies, for biofuels, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, corn, cotton, dairy, fisheries, rice, soybeans, sugar and/or wheat. So apologies in advance if this topic was your idea, or you love it or something, but here is my honest opinion as an old washed up former debater. Are they on crack? What a bullshit topic. I'm jsut gonna totally overlook the fact that it's pretty damn narrow and uninteresting and go straight to the fact that CEDA/NDT apparently needs a proofreader. How the hell can you explain the comma between subsidies and for? What possible meaning under any interpretation could that add to the topic? Is somone running typos good on the affirmative? OK even if thats jsut a typo, which I hope to god it is, "...at least elimianting nearly all of..." this list of things. WTF????!@&!! What in the hell does that even mean? Do they not realize that the "at least" is implicit in the logical structure of the sentence. If they took it out you would still have to eliminate "nearly all" of the things on the list as I read it, and adding the "at least" explicitly jsut introduces ambiguity and makes it look like a monkey that knows sign laguage came up with the topic." It made my day.

Message-ID: Hey All- It was a slow day for college and NBA basketball today, so I decided to provide an answer to a question that I raised during the course of the Northwestern Debate Tournament. The question is essentially this, "Is Whitman's Paperless Debate Envrionmentally Friendly?" The answer I found, was yes, but not to such an extent that the debate community should begin to move towards such an end. In fact, based on my estimate, one Whitman team (Whitman GR) has decreased the annual amount of CO2 released by the United States by 0.000000006% by using a laptop to flow instead of paper. The details of this estimate and other interesting facts are posted on my website at: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/dietric4/www/Docs/PaperDebate.pdf Enjoy, Bryce J.

Decked out in ceremonial cap and gown, Matthew Allen Grindy lay propped up in his bed at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital as President T.K. Wetherell, Provost Larry Abele and Communication Dean John Mayo ??? all in full academic regalia ??? conferred upon him the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Speech Communication. There was even a ceremonial "hooding," the attachment of the gown's hood signifying the wearer is a Ph.D. that's conducted traditionally before the candidates march in for graduation. But the 50 or so people gathered in the hospital room and spilling out into the hallway had to settle for Wetherell's reciting of the "Hymn to Garnet and Gold." "If we were standing in the Civic Center," Wetherell said, "someone with a much better voice than mine would be singing right now." Grindy didn't care. Days earlier, he had ceded victory to the cancer spreading throughout his body and into his brain, opting out of further treatments that would bring at best only months, not cures. He focused on trying to manage the ever-increasing pain and made arrangements to go home to hospice care. Then he found out Friday morning that graduation was coming to him. Grindy's father said he asked for an adjustment of his pain medication so he could be alert for the ceremony. Davis Houck, his major professor, said he insisted on being dressed in the cap and gown he brought him, not merely having it draped over him. The price of their dressing him in it, everyone knew, would bring excruciating pain. "He was like, 'No, no, put it on. I want it on,'" Houck said. Wearing the smile that seems to have been ever-present no matter how tired he was or how intense the pain, the 28-year-old doctoral student and FSU's director of debate for the past two years accepted his doctoral diploma and mentally checked one more thing off his list. "Even though I knew I probably wouldn't survive, there were some things I still wanted to accomplish. I didn't want my experience to be nasty overall, and I feel like I got that," he said afterward. "Statistically, with my diagnosis, I should've been dead a long time ago. But I fought back, and today I accomplished another one of my goals. "It's just a piece of paper to some people," he said, "but it's more than that to me." "It's your life's work," said his wife, Amber Bell. Among his other goals was a successful debate team, which he got last year. He also was named the top graduate student-coach in policy debate in the country. He was still coaching debaters by phone a week ago, as he finished his last round of radiation therapy at Moffett Cancer Center in Tampa, said his mother, Cindy Ronnings. "He's been in debate since high school. He loves it, and he cares so much for his students," she said. Grindy met his wife at undergraduate school at Western Washington University, where she was his debate partner. The couple moved together to Miami, where he was assistant debate director at the University of Miami while he got his master's degree. His FSU debaters weren't there for the graduation. FSU was hosting the opening rounds of the Florida Invitational Forensics tournament Friday afternoon, and they were in opening rounds of competition. They were following his lead. And when the guy who never gave up said he'd had enough, his friends, family and faculty took over. A lot of people wanted to know whether Grindy had done enough work to earn his degree. Grindy's father, Scott Grindy of Everett, Wash., said he and Wetherell played phone tag for two days this week but Friday morning, everything came together and the ceremony was set for 4:30 p.m. "FSU does not move this fast on anything," said Houck, who also was Grindy's co-author of the recently released book, "Emmitt Till and the Mississippi Press." "A lot of people played a part, but if anyone deserves the credit, it's Nancy Marcus. She worked the phones with T.K. and Larry and got it done." There as even a little "Pomp and Circumstance" on the guitar, thanks to Andrew Opel, one of the Communication Department faculty. The degree is not an honorary one, the provost said. "This is a full-blown degree." Both the provost and the president said they think it's the first hospital graduation FSU has ever conducted. Even Grindy himself was surprised, although he admitted with a little chuckle that "some part of me thought that, after I pass, they'll give me a doctorate. But for all these important people to come here, for my family and friends to do this for me, I'm amazed." But being in pain, on medication and overcome with emotion didn't diminish his awareness that he had a bully pulpit, and he seized the opportunity. "If I can make a shameless plug in these times of university financial troubles, my departing wish is debate, particularly policy debate, be preserved," he said. "I don't have the energy to talk about it, but it made me the person I am."

Message-ID: <1234875014.499ab286206fb@webmail.grandecom.net> Sounds like the same type of reasoning that got America into the biofuels subsidies debacle. You may want to, dare I say it, question the assumption that paperless debate is environmentally friendly. The computers Whitman uses are environmentally inefficient, produced through environmentally damaging technologies; and they produce lots of toxins when they are thrown away. From an environmental point of view, we would be better off if Whitman did not use computers, or paper in debates. They are also masking their other environmentally damaging activities such as flying on evil jet plans and driving in thier vans. In a nutshell, they should commit to de-development. I am sure those debating Whitman CS at the NDT will appreciate the efforts to save the planet through debate, one round at a time. Scott p.s. For the obtuse, this is a joke.

As you know, this is not something that I usually do. This is pretty important, so I thought I would break a few rules. I hope you do not mind. I have been working for the last 5 years on the death penalty appeal of Edward Bell with several other lawyers, and we have reached the end of the line. He is scheduled for execution on February 19, 2009 and our only hope is for Governor Kaine to grant clemency. Eddie, a Black Jamaican national, was convicted by an all-white small-town Virginia jury in 2001 in the shooting death of a popular police officer, Ricky Timbrook. I've started an online petitionand tried my hand at creating a web site . If that link does not work, the address is www.clemency4eddie.net. (My apologies, the web site is very rough. It is clear that this is a deficiency in my education that I need to rectify. The purpose of this email is to ask you to please consider signing the petition . I will be delivering it to Gov. Kaine on Wednesday. There are several reasons that Gov. Kaine should grant clemency -- if you want the long version of the story, please read our Clemency Brief. Those words outlined in blue used to be links to documents and video, but had to omit them from the online version of the brief. 1. The short version of the story is that Eddie is likely retarded, and thus ineligible for execution. The Commonwealth of Virginia denied Eddie a hearing on this issue because he had not proven he was retarded. Eddie's lawyers at the time funded a psychologist out of their own pockets, and based on the limited tests that had been done during trial, Dr. Ruth opined that Eddie was likely retarded and that further testing was warranted. (The prison would not allow us to bring a psychologist to test Eddie without a court order.) A doctor who had had contact with Eddie and a mitigation specialist also opined that Eddie was retarded, and that further testing was warranted. Virginia refused to allow further testing, refused to allow a hearing on the matter, and "found" that Eddie was not retarded because he could operate a cell phone and said he read the bible daily. A slightly longer version of the story can be found in my Daily Kos diary on MRor in the Clemency Brief. 2. Eddie's trial counsel did an abysmal job representing him during the penalty phase of the trial. They presented no mitigation evidence, giving the jury no reason to not execute him. They did a very cursory investigation, that fell far short of that required by the American Bar Association guidelines. They did not even interview the prosecution's witnesses, so they were unable to effectively cross examine them because they did not know what they were going to say. One of these witnesses, Dawn, is the mother to one of Eddie's kids. She was on the stand, and wanted to tell the jury about the good side of Eddie, of how much her daughter loved Eddie, and how devastated she would be if Eddie were executed. But Dawn was unable to testify for Eddie because Eddie's lawyers did not ask her any questions that could be answered in this way. Eddie has 5 children and a step-daughter who love him very much. There was a lot of mitigation evidence that could have been presented, but was not. The federal district court held that Eddie's counsel we deficient, but concluded that it would not have made a difference. We don't believe that's true. We think that with competent representation and presentation of Eddie's case to a jury, Eddie's life would have been spared. I've written a Daily Kos diaryon Ineffective Assistance of Counsel that gives a bit more detail about this issue, and you can find the longer version in our Clemency Brief. 3. The case against Eddie has many holes, and Eddie could very well be innocent. The most serious problem with it is that there is no physical evidence linking him to the crime, the case is largely circumstantial. The last witness called by the prosecutor was Terry Lee Johnson, an inmate. In that grand tradition of all jail house snitches, Johnson testified that Eddie confessed to him in jail. (We found this pretty funny -- Eddie did not confess to the police, and he's certainly never even come close to confessing to us, to the contrary, he steadfastly maintains his innocence. He's not a confessing kind of guy.) Johnson has since admitted to our investigators that he made it up. Eddie did not confess to him, and he knew nothing about the case. Johnson swears in an affidavit that he was pressured by police to testify to a confession, and that he received many benefits from doing so. Virginia refused to give us a hearing on the matter, and rejected the claim for lack of evidence. The federal courts, constrained by the AEDPA, have been forced to let that ruling stand. For a longer version of Eddie's innocence claims, you can read my Daily Kos Diary on Perjured Testimony and the Reid Method of Interrogation. For the rest of Eddie's story on his innocence, please read our Clemency Brief. 4. Eddie's case was used as the basis of an attack ad against Governor Kaine during the 2005 election by his opponent Gerry Kilgore. The political pressure created by that ad is likely making it difficult for us to get clemency. As you may expect, as part of publicizing this I wrote a Daily Kos diary on the subject, that includes a link to the ad in question. We need a lot of help convincing the governor to stop the execution. To that end, please sign my online petition. Please also consider getting some friends to sign, we need all the signatures we can get. You may also join Amnesty International'sletter writing campaign on Eddie's behalf. I know that not everyone on this list agrees with me on the death penalty. Regardless of our ultimate decision on whether it should be abolished, I hope you agree with me that it should be administered justly. The process has not been just to Eddie. That said, if you choose not to sign, I'll understand. If you have any ideas on how to gain a wider audience, I am all ears. If you are the praying type, please include Eddie and his family in your prayers. Please also pray for the Timbrook family. Thanks for reading this far, Randi R.

(second attempt) Message-ID: <17bee7eb0902171232n4ebd2f5w2acad85f2c651bcc@mail.gmail.com> Shorter Version: New point scales are good, and should be universally adopted. Additionally, the scales should probably be varied every six or seven years. Longer, epistolary version: To Anyone Who Runs A Tournament: 1. New Point Scales: Not A Fail--Now that I've tried a hundred (96) and a hundredth (29.8) a couple of times, the .5 scale system seems ... awkward, ludicrous, unwieldy, played out, no longer as good, wrong, misapplied, annoying, cumbersome, even anachronistic. I've talked to some people (though not enough to extrapolate too much), and almost all of them (all of them?) like the variations. I think that it's time to move on from the old 30/.5 scale on a fairly permanent basis. Our judgments, right now, are more subtle, and need a point scale that can express that nuance. 1a. Preemptive Thought: Anyone that disagrees with me agrees with JVAR, or even coin-flipping. (Actually, I think complex statistical tools might be awesome. See comment 1b.i. below.) 1b. Additionally, my real proposal: we change speaker point scales every five or six or seven years. It doesn't matter, really, it just needs to change every time people get really set within a certain scale. The problem is a subjective one, based on a complex interactional system that varies according to micro-feedback over, in debate terms, macro-scales (i.e., longer than the career of a debater, even many judges, e.g., four years). Every time it calcifies around a numerical norm it should be destroyed/readjusted. 1b.i. I propose, then, a variation between different base scales over those period as well (30, 100, 50. 37,777, etc), because psychologically, people don't think well outside of base ten or base sixty. Since the problem is psychological--and it's only a problem until we solve it--then our solution should be based on the reason it occurs. (1b.ii. In any case, hasn't science advanced to the point that we can use statistical methods to solve these problems? And by science, I mean, the infinitesimal calculus developed in the 17th century... Anyone done a comparative data study on the statistical significance of speaker points vs. JVAR, etc? Does Nate Silver read this listserve?) Yours respectfully, Richard A. Garner p.s. According to the tubez, not FAIL = FTW. This is, at least, what the kids these days tell me. p.p.s. I prefer hundredths of 30, but think it will only last four years. Then we can switch to hundreds. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Decked out in ceremonial cap and gown, Matthew Allen Grindy lay propped up in his bed at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital as President T.K. Wetherell, Provost Larry Abele and Communication Dean John Mayo ? all in full academic regalia ? conferred upon him the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Speech Communication. There was even a ceremonial "hooding," the attachment of the gown's hood signifying the wearer is a Ph.D. that's conducted traditionally before the candidates march in for graduation. But the 50 or so people gathered in the hospital room and spilling out into the hallway had to settle for Wetherell's reciting of the "Hymn to Garnet and Gold." "If we were standing in the Civic Center," Wetherell said, "someone with a much better voice than mine would be singing right now." Grindy didn't care. Days earlier, he had ceded victory to the cancer spreading throughout his body and into his brain, opting out of further treatments that would bring at best only months, not cures. He focused on trying to manage the ever-increasing pain and made arrangements to go home to hospice care. Then he found out Friday morning that graduation was coming to him. Grindy's father said he asked for an adjustment of his pain medication so he could be alert for the ceremony. Davis Houck, his major professor, said he insisted on being dressed in the cap and gown he brought him, not merely having it draped over him. The price of their dressing him in it, everyone knew, would bring excruciating pain. "He was like, 'No, no, put it on. I want it on,'" Houck said. Wearing the smile that seems to have been ever-present no matter how tired he was or how intense the pain, the 28-year-old doctoral student and FSU's director of debate for the past two years accepted his doctoral diploma and mentally checked one more thing off his list. "Even though I knew I probably wouldn't survive, there were some things I still wanted to accomplish. I didn't want my experience to be nasty overall, and I feel like I got that," he said afterward. "Statistically, with my diagnosis, I should've been dead a long time ago. But I fought back, and today I accomplished another one of my goals. "It's just a piece of paper to some people," he said, "but it's more than that to me." "It's your life's work," said his wife, Amber Bell. Among his other goals was a successful debate team, which he got last year. He also was named the top graduate student-coach in policy debate in the country. He was still coaching debaters by phone a week ago, as he finished his last round of radiation therapy at Moffett Cancer Center in Tampa, said his mother, Cindy Ronnings. "He's been in debate since high school. He loves it, and he cares so much for his students," she said. Grindy met his wife at undergraduate school at Western Washington University, where she was his debate partner. The couple moved together to Miami, where he was assistant debate director at the University of Miami while he got his master's degree. His FSU debaters weren't there for the graduation. FSU was hosting the opening rounds of the Florida Invitational Forensics tournament Friday afternoon, and they were in opening rounds of competition. They were following his lead. And when the guy who never gave up said he'd had enough, his friends, family and faculty took over. A lot of people wanted to know whether Grindy had done enough work to earn his degree. Grindy's father, Scott Grindy of Everett, Wash., said he and Wetherell played phone tag for two days this week but Friday morning, everything came together and the ceremony was set for 4:30 p.m. "FSU does not move this fast on anything," said Houck, who also was Grindy's co-author of the recently released book, "Emmitt Till and the Mississippi Press." "A lot of people played a part, but if anyone deserves the credit, it's Nancy Marcus. She worked the phones with T.K. and Larry and got it done." There as even a little "Pomp and Circumstance" on the guitar, thanks to Andrew Opel, one of the Communication Department faculty. The degree is not an honorary one, the provost said. "This is a full-blown degree." Both the provost and the president said they think it's the first hospital graduation FSU has ever conducted. Even Grindy himself was surprised, although he admitted with a little chuckle that "some part of me thought that, after I pass, they'll give me a doctorate. But for all these important people to come here, for my family and friends to do this for me, I'm amazed." But being in pain, on medication and overcome with emotion didn't diminish his awareness that he had a bully pulpit, and he seized the opportunity. "If I can make a shameless plug in these times of university financial troubles, my departing wish is debate, particularly policy debate, be preserved," he said. "I don't have the energy to talk about it, but it made me the person I am." Alex Acosta University of Miami Alum The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.

Hardy - Can you forward this to edebate for me? Thanks, Matt Thailand-based exile-media group and human rights documentation organization seek writer/researcher/copy-editor. Both organizations primarily deal with the human rights and political situation on Burma's southern peninsula and along its eastern border with Thailand. The position entails copy-editing daily news stories and longer monthly human rights situation reports written by Burmese reporters and field researchers. Depending on the individual experience of local staff, "copy editing" will mean providing feedback, guiding research and writing from scratch based on translated notes. Extreme flexibility is also available for web and print publishing of stories written by western staff. The position can be filled as early as May and no later than the end of June. Duration is negotiable, but no less than 3 months. Preference will be given to applicants with journalism experience and an understanding of Burmese politics/history. Such criteria is by no means a requirement, however, and I'm sending this to edebate because I'm confident the skill-set produced by policy debate offers credible preparation for the work. Compensation, unfortunately, will be quite low - your visa costs, food and lodging will be paid for. Beyond that, things like discretionary spending and airfare will not be covered. Living expenses in the area are next to nothing, however, and you can live extremely comfortably here on an additional $150 a month. You will also be working in an interesting, fast-paced environment and living in an amazing, beautiful place. And you will be doing something incredibly worthwhile, and much better for your resume than anything back in the U.S. Resume + cover letter or questions should be directed to jabletroph at gmail.com From jbhdb8 at gmail.com Tue Feb 17 16:58:17 2009 From: jbhdb8 at gmail.com (Josh) Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:58:17 -0500 Subject: [eDebate] Joe Carver NDT machine Message-ID: Joe Carver asked me a week ago to tell people that he was available for hire at the NDT (if not still the case sorry).

I think David is right about the Harvard finals. I judged the Bronx-Lake Braddock final, and I am pretty sure that was '84, and I was a minority of one in voting for Bronx. The round started after midnight, and I am pretty sure that I was asleep for at least a minute or two of the 1AR. This seems like a good time to add that I've been to at least 25 Harvard tournaments, and I've never seen one run better. Stefan and staff deserve tremendous credit for that.

I hope that everyone's Spring semester is off to a good start. As you complete your travel plans for CEDA Nationals at Idaho State this year, I wanted to encourage those of you flying into Salt Lake City to consider taking a shuttle from the airport to Pocatello and using the hotel to campus transportation that has been arranged for each day of competition rather than renting a car. I think you will find this option both cheaper and a more convenient choice. Below is the booking information for the CEDA-arranged shuttle transportation from SLC to Pocatello and the return trip to the airport. In addition, CEDA will be providing shuttle services for free from the hotel to tournament and back again each day once you arrive in Pocatello. This information is in the CEDA Nationals invitation under rental car information. Airport shuttle arrangements can be made through Salt Lake Express at http://www.saltlakeexpress.com/ When you click on reservations, choose the Salt Lake City Airport departure and the Pocatello Idaho arrival and then back to Salt Lake City Airport on the dates you are scheduled to travel. In the promo code box, enter CED09 to receive the discounted rate. The next screen will provide you with all of the departure choices for both your airport to Pocatello travel. The shuttles run regularly, every two hours between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. from the airport and between 3:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. from Pocatello back to the airport. So, no matter what your travel times are, you should be able to get a shuttle without having too much of a wait at the airport coming or going. The discounted rate will be $30 per person going each direction - which is $12 cheaper than the usual rate - a $24 savings per person for the round trip. They can accommodate small or large numbers with their vehicles, so there are no minimum or maximum group numbers to receive the discount. I researched the cost of rental cars and found mini-vans to run between $350 and $400 for a mini-van (which would barely fit 6 people and tubs) plus the cost of gas (and some of these at this price had mileage restrictions), while the shuttle will only run you $360 for the six people. The cost is fixed and guaranteed and you have no worries about getting the right vehicle when you arrive and having enough room for your people, tubs and luggage. The shuttle drops off at a Shell Station that is right between the tournament hotel and the overflow hotel, meaning easy access to the pick-up and drop-off points. I hope that many of you will consider using this option as it will give us some idea of what we can do for group discounts in the future and give us some bargaining power for future CEDA Nationals. If you have any questions about the shuttle service, please feel free to contact me.

Directions From the Crowne Plaza: Take Pinhook East to St. Mary. Turn Left onto St. Mary. Go down about five blocks. At the third stoplight you will see the University Library (it has big concrete spheres around it). Turn right on to Hebrard Blvd. On your left at the fist stop sign is Moody Hall (the Business Building). F.G. Mouton is directly behind Moody Hall. You can park anywhere along Hebrard. If you stay for a parade, when you exit Hebrard, you take a left back onto St. Mary to get you back to Pinhook. Or, you can take a right onto University Ave. This will also take you to Pinhook. You can also get to Hebrard from University Avenue. We recommend that YOU DO NOT take Johnston St. for any reason this weekend. This is the parade route. It is almost always either blocked or congested. University of Louisiana-Lafayette Mardi Gras Policy Tournament Schedule. Friday February 20, 2009 Registration.

We went last year and it was one of my fave tournaments of last year. The judging was outstanding, it was all in one building, it had a national tournament atmosphere but younger debaters, and it was incredibly competitive. Will and Greta do an amazing job with scheduling and hospitality. As much as I want to say I hate Lansing its a pretty nice hotel and there are lots of good restaurant options. If you want your younger debaters to get national major tournament style judging and competition...this is a GREAT way to get it. Hope to see you all there!

Thanks for making our trip to Normal so much fun (so many kinds of cookies they had to be color coded). Will Repko for running a professional, open, and well-run tabulation room. For keeping us all totally up to date on what all the options were for every upcoming scenario...and for helping the pool out by judging while running the tab room. Serious thanks for professionalism and district service above and beyond the call. Also to Kelly Young and Brent Brossman for helping Will out. All the judges for being conceintous and working hard (when everyone was desperate to leave our last panel worked for 45-60 minutes after the debate to make the right decision - which we lost). Its really great to seeing everyone working so hard to make sure we get the bids to the NDT right. The alternates for being so competitive and coming so close. In particular the alternates from Wayne who managed to almost qualify despite having the flu. NU FG - good luck on the 2nd round! One of my fave teams to judge this year! Ron Stevenson......for being well-dressed and covering up the tattoos. Congrats to all the teams qualifying in all districts!!!!

The leadership of CEDA and the NDT are working together to provide a coordinated response to the Miami administration. I applaud the efforts of individuals to reach out to administrators and positively convey the importance of debate. We also need folks who are familiar with the university and department to help tailor our response. If you are in such a position or know of someone who is, please have them contact me. I would also reinforce Justin Green's prescient call from earlier this semester. In this economic climate, even programs with strong institutional support for the activity will experience very difficult decisions. If you see that your university is considering a substantial reduction in support, please reach out to the organizations and local community as soon as possible. No one has a magic solution here, but we need to do our best to explain the values of keeping the activity central to university life, even if budgets decline. I know we will be having a larger conversation on this subject this spring, but in the interim please take the time to support this program.

He provided some added insight into the circumstances that led Miami to suspend the policy debate program. In January, the upper administration chose to terminate the Communications graduate program by cutting off all future graduate assistantships.? This decision is ultimately what led to last night's announced reorganization of the Miami Forensics program. In the past, there have been six people assigned to coach the Forensics team at Miami, two faculty members - one for speech and one for debate - and four graduate students, again two to each program.? The January decision had the effect of cutting the coaching staff from six to two. Therefore, the (most certainly unintended) effect of the University's decision to abolish graduate assistantships was to dramatically cut back on the coaching staff that was available to travel with the Forensics team. The decision that we learned about last night - to end the policy team - was the direct result of that decision in January.? Gary and the new DOF, who is also the IE coach, decided that in order to keep the Forensics team viable, they should switch to Parli debate - where apparently the debaters and speech team members will travel together, streamlining the supervision responsibilities for the remaining faculty members and saving money.? My guess is that next year it will be up to the IE coach and the debate coach, faculty members, to divide the travel/supervision responsibilities.? Gary, however, also added this to his explanation: "With Miami's severe budget crisis it is also important to show that we are serving as many students as possible in order to survive through these hard times.? Parli debate is more accessible to inexperienced students." While Gary insists that the "bias" of the DOF did not play a role in this, I've heard from several people that the DOF has long favored Parli debate over Policy - and clearly Gary's stated rationale for the recent decision was informed by the DOF's views of the greater accessibility of Parli debate.? My experience with Gary Shulman over three years is that he probably had no idea that Parli debate existed, let alone what it was like, until very recently.? Gary does offer the encouragement that when economic times improve, and IF the University restores the graduate assistantships, they will consider returning to NDT debate.? I consider the latter of these two conditions unlikely though, because I've heard that the decision to eliminate the MA program was not primarily related to the recent economic downturn.? For those of you who wish to engage in a letter writing campaign, I would suggest that you address your arguments, and possible solutions, squarely to the graduate student staffing dilemma.? Miami, obviously, could hire debate and speech coaches that are not graduate students if they so chose, although that kind of solution is far from their radar screen.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a laughable statement. There are very few tournaments in this region where Parli and IE run together. When they do, Parli is on a separate day, which means the team has to stay longer, driving up expenses. If you are writing letters, you might let the Chair in on that little fact... This justification is a joke in my opinion. They made a HORRIBLE decision to cut their grad program in relation in context of their budget. It would not surprise me if the IE team and the comm department as a whole are dead at Miami in a few years. Without the GAs, they can't cover public speaking, without public speaking or a grad program, no need for a department.... It's a very sad situation all around, one that has really bothered me as a solid program in D5 folds due to very poor management decisions at the department level. Kelly Kelly M.

Deadline March 1. Message-ID: <451372279EE24E4992ED27B99AC5577304A884A4@EXVS1.drury.edu> Andy, wtf man? I HIGHLY doubt this is Sarah's policy. A NUMBER of schools use MAC address registration as a prerequisite to network access. Due to the ability to spoof MAC addresses, it isn't the best security restriction, but as a part of a layered security policy, it can greatly enhance network security. It allows the IT department to provide a check against random people from just plugging into a network. Some ISPs also require it as a layer of security to prevent people from jumping onto a unprotected network to send spam, death threats, viruses, or commercial activity when the state provides tax dollars to subsidize the bandwidth (not to mention allowing the IT people to answer investigators questions of why their machines are causing problems). KU and Missouri State both require MAC address registration on many parts of the campus, Missouri State as a mechanism to bill departments for the equipment necessary to support the network (they charge a monthly rate for access per user). It helps charge the people that use the service for the cost of the service. When I was working for the residence life networking department, they even looked at using MAC registration as a mechanism to assist in keeping people for putting cheap SOHO switches on the network since the department head in networking was a stickler for adhering to networking standards which require no more then three layers deep of switches to help ensure spanning algorithm calculations don't get screwed up, and load balancing works properly, ensuring the top layer switch doesn't have more child nodes then its backplane can handle properly. And when the Idaho State domain gets blacklisted by major ISPs because some idiot brings an infected machine that starts spamming email (happened to Drury on a spoofed email that wasn't even from us and STILL took almost a week to get AT&T to recognize it was an error), I guess that is just something Idaho State students, faculty, and staff should expect as part of the great honor of hosting the National tournament. So, before you go off the deep end and calling something ridiculous that you probably know nothing about (why the policy exists), you might stop for a half second and ask for the RATIONALE. The IT department at Missouri State was reluctant to ever assist the debate program in ensuring network access for off campus guests at tournaments/camps/debate activities, going ape shit on them would NOT make them any more lenient/accommodating. If I recall, a number of hosts have also had this problem. Wake limited access to a specified number of computers in a specific area, and UMKC required passcodes that were limited if I remember right. You should instead thank Idaho State people that are working to get you SOME access for networking. As to the question of how to otherwise get access, I don't know, maybe get a cell phone that is tetherable, a PCMCIA card with your own access, or use some of your l33t computer skills to fight the man if you want to, but you could be a little nicer to someone trying to provide YOU with a hospitable nationals. Really? You think it is unreasonable that a school expects you to ensure your antivirus is up to date and your computer clean of any of the NUMEROUS Trojans/viruses/spyware/malware/rogue SMTP servers that have been devastating networks for years, much less the myriad specific Trojans/worms over the last 6 months that have been targeting holes in IE 7 and open network shares? You want a list of those like Conficker that have popped up since July alone? Any idea how many out of band patches Microsoft has released in the last 6 months? How about the zero day Excel exploit just discovered a couple of days ago. You have any idea what a pain in the ass trying to ensure stability in network is when you have no control of the machines that connect to it? Yeah, sorry those wacky IT control freaks are trying to ensure the safety/reliability/stability of their network. PLEASE.

If I recall, a number of hosts have also had this problem. Wake limited access to a specified number of computers in a specific area, and UMKC required passcodes that were limited if I remember right. You should instead thank Idaho State people that are working to get you SOME access for networking. As to the question of how to otherwise get access, I don?t know, maybe get a cell phone that is tetherable, a PCMCIA card with your own access, or use some of your l33t computer skills to fight the man if you want to, but you could be a little nicer to someone trying to provide YOU with a hospitable nationals. Really? You think it is unreasonable that a school expects you to ensure your antivirus is up to date and your computer clean of any of the NUMEROUS Trojans/viruses/spyware/malware/rogue SMTP servers that have been devastating networks for years, much less the myriad specific Trojans/worms over the last 6 months that have been targeting holes in IE 7 and open network shares? You want a list of those like Conficker that have popped up since July alone? Any idea how many out of band patches Microsoft has released in the last 6 months? How about the zero day Excel exploit just discovered a couple of days ago. You have any idea what a pain in the ass trying to ensure stability in network is when you have no control of the machines that connect to it? Yeah, sorry those wacky IT control freaks are trying to ensure the safety/reliability/stability of their network. PLEASE.

Great job by the Chair, Daisy Verney, and Mike Hall, Mike Davis, Adrienne Brovero, and Jake Weiner. 8 prelims with strike cards and 3-judge panels may not be easy to organize, but the debaters sure get a lot out of the tournament--the intensity and work effort was palpable. Congratulations to all the qualifiers and good luck to everyone at the ndt. It's great to see the diversity in D7 as well, including the first rounds. Half of the qualifiers and alternates are women for example. Best of luck to all the district participants and the 2nd round applicants. sincerely, kevin spider debate ________________________________________ From: edebate-bounces at ndtceda.com [edebate-bounces at ndtceda.com] On Behalf Of Hall, Michael P.
