The Information Officer of an organisation is an important person. By default, every single organisation in South Africa has one. The law (more particularly the Promotion of Access to Information Act or PAIA) automatically designates a person in each organisation as the Information Officer. Not the Chief Information Officer or CIO, but an Information Officer. They perform very different roles.
At a point in time, it was referred to as the Information Protection Officer, but the correct term is Information Officer. Some people also refer to the Privacy Officer, but in our view, this is the incorrect terminology. The role of a Privacy Officer is something else and may encompass the Information Officer. But the two should not be confused. The Information Officer performs the same role as a Data Protection Officer under the GDPR.
Do I have an Information Officer?
Every organisation has one. All public bodies, like a national department, provincial administration, or municipality. And all private bodies, like companies, CCs, partnerships, and trusts. Unlike the PAIA Manual, nobody is exempt. Every body has one whether you like it or not?
What are their responsibilities?
The Information Officer is an important person because they are responsible for ensuring that the organisation complies with PAIA. They are also the person who is responsible for ensuring that the organisation complies with the POPI Act. They are a key person in any PAIA or POPI project. They must also be registered with the Information Regulator.
So, who should the Information Officer be?
Many organisations are busy trying to work out who the person should be. Is it the CIO, the IT Manager, the information security officer, the legal adviser, the compliance officer? What should the structure be and how many people do you need? Do you need one Information Officer and two deputies, or just two deputies? Should one deal with PAIA and the other with POPI? Who is accountable and who is responsible? Should the responsibility be designated to someone else?
Actions you can take:
- Find answers to your questions by getting our advice.
- Brief the head of your organisation (or body) on the role by asking us to draft a written brief for you or asking us to present to them for you.
- Find the right person to perform the role by asking us to provide you with a Job Specification or Description.
- Appoint the person correctly and ensure the person knows what their responsibilities are by asking us to draft a letter of appointment for the head to sign.
- Empower yourself with knowledge on the POPI Act and its potential impact on your organisation by attending one of our Data Protection Workshops.

Anglers have fought to protect this fish. So how did it wind up on a Miami Beach menu?
One of Miami Beach's cool new restaurants, a laid-back fish shack named for Biscayne Bay's iconic stilt houses, aims to serve fish so fresh that its celebrity chefs claim much of the catch comes from the docks across the street.
Just one problem: A trophy fish that sport fishermen have long fought to protect wound up on the menu.
Last week, Miami New Times reposted a picture taken in November of Stiltsville Fish Bar chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth gripping two large fish. In the picture, Booth holds a shimmering permit, a game fish found on South Florida's endless shallow flats, beloved by anglers for its powerful runs and fierce fight, and almost never featured on menus.
"It's like seeing marlin at the grocery store," said Capt. Steve Friedman, commodore of the Florida Keys Fishing Guides Association. "In no way, shape or form should they be selling it in a restaurant."
McInnis, a Top Chef contestant and founding chef behind Yardbird, another popular Miami Beach restaurant with downhome fare, at first said the fish was an African pompano, which can grow to a similar size but is more closely related to jacks, found around deep wrecks and less restricted.
"Whoever it is who's telling you [it's a permit] doesn't know what they're talking about," he said. "I know a lot about fishing, dear. I've grown up fishing my entire life. I don't do that kind of stuff."
But Friedman and Aaron Adams, a marine biologist and chief scientist at the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, both identified the fish as a permit.
"There's no doubt that was a permit," Adams said. "It's great that local restaurants want to source locally for their seafood, but if they're going to do that, they have a responsibility to do the research and understand the dynamics of the fishery and the produce that they're sourcing from."
Through a public relations firm, McInnis later clarified his remarks:
"Since our opening, just weeks after Hurricane Irma, we made it our mission to support many small businesses in the fishing community," he said in an email from the firm. "We do edify ourselves with each catch that is brought in to ensure that we are in line with regulations. After reviewing all of our invoices, since opening last fall, I found that we received a total of one permit fish in November."
McInnis' fishmonger also correctly identified the fish as a permit.
McInnis "uses a lot of sustainable fish that we get a lot of," said Francisco Urteaga, of KDX Seafrood. "He really didn't do anything wrong. He's a solid guy and he helps a lot of local fishermen who do that for living."
Urteaga said the permit was legally caught and purchased in Key West in November from a fisherman with whom he regularly deals.
"We catch it in the correct zone," he said. "We don't go fishing in the zoo, you know what I mean?"
But purchasing a dead permit in Key West, even one caught in unrestricted federal waters, would likely be illegal, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokeswoman Amanda Nalley.
"The only way you could get it to Key West legally is to catch it outside the special permit zone and then have it trucked to Key West. You can't boat it," she said. "If you are boating anywhere outside Key West, you are in the special permit zone and if you have a dead permit on your boat, that would be illegal."
While it may be just one fish, there's a reason why permit on a menu would draw such harsh criticism. Permit belong to the trinity of South Florida flats fish, along with tarpon and bonefish, that help pump an estimated $460 million a year into the state economy. They draw anglers from around the globe and make up a rare fishery unlike any other in the U.S., stretching across a patchwork of seagrass meadows and winding channels. For years, conservationists, guides and anglers have fought to improve rules and management after watching the fish, and the flats-driven industry, decline.
In 2011, after determining that too many fishermen were confusing juvenile permit with pompano and driving down the population, they helped convince Florida to establish a special protection zone in state waters that stretch from Cape Florida south, across the Keys and southwest Florida.
"Our position was if fishermen can't tell what species they're catching they sure shouldn't be keeping it," Adams said. "Ignorance is no excuse."
It is now illegal to commercially harvest fish anywhere in the zone. And this year, after anglers and surveys found the fish were spawning sooner, a month was shaved off the season. Recreational anglers can catch only one fish in the zone during the season from August to March.
Harvesting permit accidentally caught in nets by pompano fishermen is still allowed off Florida's west coast in a pompano zone, but the amount is strictly limited to two per day per fisherman. The fish cannot be specifically targeted and must meet strict size limits: no smaller than 11 inches from snout to tail fork, or larger than 22 inches. To avoid poaching, a chronic problem in a state with so few wildlife officers, commercially sold permit only can be trucked in to restaurants located in the permit zone.
The fish pictured in the New Times photograph, Adams said, would likely not have been bycatch by a pompano netter because of its size.
"It's too big to be mixed in with pompano," he said.
In July , McInnis told the Herald he purchases fish directly from fishermen who dock across the street and was aiming to create a flip-flop friendly humble seafood house like the kind he remembered from his Panhandle childhood.
"We're able to cut out the middleman since I'm buying direct from the boats," he also told New Times. "When the fishermen bring in their catch, we'll ring the bell."
But the docks at nearby Gibb Park have been off-limits to commercial vessels since April 2017, and an adjacent marina provides slips for a private yachting club.
Under Florida law, only licensed commercial fishermen can sell fish to licensed wholesalers, Nalley said. Selling permit also requires an additional license, called a restricted species endorsement, which can be tougher to obtain.
"It just professionalizes the industry," she said.
If fishermen are unclear about the rules, she said, they should check with FWC officials by calling 850-487-0554, rather than risk breaking the law.
"We are happy to answer your questions," she said.
Urteaga said he had the appropriate license, but would not likely sell permit in the future.
"This is probably the only permit I ever sold," he said. "I probably won't ever sell one again. I'm all about saving the ocean and catching fish the right way and following regulations and all that stuff."

On the heels of announcing her talk show deal (the one we predicted from the moment ABC slashed its soaps, by the way), Katie Couric stopped by a "Jimmy Kimmel Live" primetime special last night.
Couric confirmed that no, she didn't ask Sarah Palin to contribute to her new book, and unveiled a Kate Gosselin spoof spot (the way she introduces it is as funny as the clip itself.)

Take a look at your life: there are many things you love about your life, however, there are likely things you would like to change as well. Whether it's waiting for your boss to realize you are the perfect candidate for that big promotion, increasing your daily exercise, spending more time with your significant other, losing that extra weight, being more present with your kids, improving a process at work, or reading every day.
There's probably something you are wishing would change. When faced with a situation like this, you have two options. You can either sit and wait for change to happen by itself or you can do something about it and make the change you desire.
Be More Proactive
Your first option, waiting for change, is very passive. Things may change, things may not change with this option. Those that choose this method are not likely to achieve many major accomplishments and, by some people standards, are taking the easy way out. This option seems to go hand in hand with the microwave mentality. This metaphor represents having the attitude that if something isn't accomplished in fewer than five minutes, it isn't worth doing. Those that need instant gratification will choose to wait for change. Yes, this way is easy, but more often than not, does not produce the results you seek.
If you want things in your life to change, Change things in your life!
But don't forget, there's a second option! You can make change happen, however, change requires effort, action, and work. Change hardly ever occurs by chance or without effort. In order to get the changes you seek, make a plan and set goals then work toward meeting those goals and completing that plan.
Some people may shy away from taking action on their plan because there is a potential to fail. But you cannot let failure or the potential of failing overcome you. You must overcome it! Failing isn't really failing at all. It is learning and taking away beneficial lessons that you may not have learned otherwise.
You will learn more life lessons and more about yourself. Making changes is a journey where you learn what you are capable of, what are your limits, what you love, and what you don't. As you try and try again, you can use the lessons learned to work more effectively and efficiently.
This option is definitely more challenging and is the road less traveled but extremely fulfilling and empowering. Some people might try to discredit your accomplishments and efforts by saying that all of this is just luck, that these changes have occurred because you got lucky. It seems that they are struggling to understand that this so-called "luck" is actually action. And the changes occurring are the result of your hard work and purposeful effort.
Change Requires Action
Change is most likely to occur with action. Play an active role in your life. Creating a plan and following through on each step of the plan. Change may come knocking at your door, but you must pave the pathway to the door with effort and hard work.

It's only been a week since I first let you know about free Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh toothpaste, but lo and behold Walmart is offering this again. You can request it even if you did last week, so looks like we're all about to have some really clean teeth.
I don't know what it is about Toms in Maine that make them so giving. I know a Tom in South Carolina and he hasn't given me a darn thing besides a few hundred wet willies growing up.

Searching for the Cure of Spinal Cord Injury
Some SCI can be cured. Others can be improved. Take care of ourselves today and always keep our hope for the best.
Modern medicine has not yet found cure for spinal cord injury (SCI). Modern medicine is not a holistic therapy since majority of treatments available involve the use of drugs or surgery. In the tradition of modern medicine we are accustomed to treatment directed at the part of the body that is malfunctioning. If we sprain an ankle we have it wrapped; if an appendix becomes inflamed, we have it removed. But SCI affects the whole body and thus it makes modern medicine ineffective. Of course, there are recent progresses in the field of SCI research that gives us hope for the eventual cure. There is good news around stem cells that are very encouraging. Some people went overseas for the treatment procedure. The effectiveness is still to be verified. It is still not ready for every SCI yet. Each application needs to be strictly screened in order to be accepted. Also it is quite expensive considering the overseas travel. You need to be cautious and consider the return on your cost. It is good by being cautious and asking yourself this question: "Is it worth my risk, expense and trouble to recover the amount of functions claimed by that procedure?"
Even though there are no reported cured cases for SCI, it is generally understood that there are cured cases around the world, especially for some incomplete SCI cases. There should be a lot more cases that are recovered to 90%, 80%, or 70%. Before the 100% cure comes, even 50% recovery is worth it as long as the cost and risk are reasonable. To prepare our body for the eventual cure, our body needs to be taken good care of every day.
Holistic therapy treats patient as a whole and will help SCI patients to recover functions more effectively than normal treatments. It is possible to recover all functions for some people with SCI especially some incomplete cases. Holistic therapy focuses healing the body, mind, and spirit. Our body, mind, and spirit must heal together and they can heal each other.
The best holistic therapies for SCI are acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Acupuncture can give the very effective stimulation to the injured area.
Why Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Can Help?
Acupuncture is a truly holistic therapy and has been proved by the effective clinical results over the last two thousand years. Acupuncture is painless, safe, quick, and has no side effects. It is to raise the level of health and to restore the body's energy flow to a normal state so that the body can heal itself.
Here are the basic steps for a normal acupuncture treatment. Each step requires great knowledge and experience in order to perform correctly. Experience makes the difference.
· Step 1. Accurate diagnosis leads to correct selection of acupuncture points.
(i.e. Accurate Diagnosis Ã* Correct Point Selections)
· Step 2. Locate the acupuncture points accurately.
(i.e. Expertise Ã* Locating points accurately)
Acupuncture is based on the theories of Chinese medicine. In order to diagnose correctly, the acupuncturist must have profound knowledge on Chinese medicine. Our body has about 381 acupuncture points but the exact location of the points will vary slightly from individual to individual. The number of combination of points is enormous and very complicated. The treatment results come from the expertise and are not by accident. Regular acupuncturist can only treats the symptoms of illness and may achieve some temporary pain relief; but expert acupuncturist is able to treat the cause of illness thus heal the injury.
What is the best way for a better recovery?
Exercise must be emphasized. Regular exercises help the blood circulations and keep muscles active. Exercise will also improve the results from on-going acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments. So the combination of treatments and exercise ensures the best results.
My doctor has over 30 year clinical experience practicing acupuncture and Chinese medicine. In China, he had achieved highest level of expertise and been recognized as a professor-level doctor. Twenty years ago, he was invited to Beijing to give the treatments for Chinese Leaders of Chinese Central Government. His professional level is distinguished and has higher reputation in the Chinese medicine field. He is the editor in chief of "Chronic Low Back Pain", "Bone and Joint", and several other books. He has published many theses regarding various areas of medical fields. He also teaches classes for students in the Master's or Ph.D. degree programs.
Here are some examples of what he has achieved through his clinical treatments:
Why my doctor's treatments are so effective?
- He has perfected the herniated disc treatment using acupuncture and can heal acute herniated disc with 4 to 7 treatments. Herniated disc is well known that it is hard to be cured. However, he not only can remove the excruciating pain quickly, but also can minimize the chance of recrudescence.
- He has cured many child autism and pediatric cerebral paralysis. To this day, for Cerebral Paralysis and autism, Western medicine considers these diseases are totally untreatable and can only provide language and behavior training.
- He has treated spinal cord injury patients with good improvements in two months.
Regular acupuncturist has only studied acupuncture and has limited experience. My doctor has profound knowledge in internal medicine, chiropractic, orthopedics, neurology, acupuncture, and Chinese medicine. His knowledge and experience ensure his accurate diagnosis. And his accurate diagnosis ensures the best results. He has achieved the great results what normally takes a team of interdisciplinary doctors in the western medicine.
My doctor's new research will focus on treating Spinal Cord Injury.
He can apply the same theories and knowledge to treat SCI. He can improve people with SCI with much better results than normal treatments such as physical therapy. The recovery will be comprehensive and include everything related to our body, for example, touch and pain sensations, bladder and bowel function, and motor control, etc. Through treatment, every SCI will see improvement. Here is some case information from his SCI treatment.
A lot of more research needs to be done in order to find the most efficient way to treat SCI using acupuncture and Chinese medicine. My doctor is committed to lead in this field. Here is his treatment program for SCI:
- Situation Before Treatment: SCI 10 years ago, paraplegia, no bladder or bowel functions, 1 year ago suffered brain damage due to a fall and had brain surgery due to internal bleeding in brain, right hand spasms and no motor function, right leg spasm and no motor function, left leg has limited movement but with no strength, cannot sit straight, lost language ability, use left hand to signal.
- After two-month treatment: Left leg can kick with some strength, right leg can curve and hold for a few minutes while laying on back. Bowel starts movement. Gain some control to bladder. He can hold it and signal nurse to come to empty it.
Not only does SCI cause so much hardship to the daily life, but also speed up the aging of the vital organs. Time cannot be reversed. No one is able to stop our aging. But with my doctor's holistic treatments, he can treat the injury and slow down the aging of our body.
- It is a two-month program or called 3x9 program (3 times per week for 9 weeks). Three treatments per week. Each treatment lasts for about 1 hour.
- Each treatment can include a combination of steps such as Tui-na (Chinese massage), acupuncture, cupping, heat pad, electrical stimulator, etc. Every case is different. Sometimes herbal medicine can be used.
- After the first program, every SCI will see improvement. For example, some may gain some leg movement and some may restore some bowel and bladder functions. Based on the amount of improvement, he will evaluate the amount of further treatments.
Here is the commitment!
My doctor will like to help the SCI community with the following unprecedented guarantee: half-price for his two-month program for two SCI patients. If there is no improvement after completing his two-month program, he will refund all the payments to the above two patients.
My doctor has clinic in the Los Angeles, California, USA. If you need more information, please email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your current situation.

Hallmark is a well known company. When I think of Hallmark I think of greeting cards and memories. They make so many great memory and keepsake items. Hallmark is always there for all those special moments in your life. I am so happy to be a part of the Hallmark blogging team. Recently I was sent the Noah's Ark Ceramic Bank with Sound to review.
The Noah's Ark Ceramic Bank with Sound is a perfect gift for any baby or child. It is make of all ceramic. It is in the shape of Noah's Ark with some animals on the ark. The bottom has a rubber stopper to help remove the money. Every time you drop a coin in the bank it makes a different animal sound. The bank is solid and very sturdy. It is very well made with each detail planned out. Each animal fits so well on the front.
When I showed the bank to Evan his first words were, "wow". Then I let him drop a coin into it. He smiled real big when he heard the animal sounds. He kept asking for more and more coins. Jayden came in and wanted to try it too. I think Jayden was a little jealous that the bank was for Evan. Even though Jayden has a few piggy banks he was willing to give them up for this one. But this one is for Evan. He was so happy to have his own Noah's Ark bank. After we ran out of coins he went on a search for more coins to put in it. Jayden helped him. I think they found all the loose change in our house. And even cleaned out mine and John's change vase. Then we found the perfect spot for it on Evan's shelf.
I love that Hallmark makes such a beautiful bank. This would be perfect for a new baby gift as well as birthday and Christmas gift. At my friends baby shower I gave her a piggy bank and everyone added coins to start the baby's savings off. I wish I had known about this bank because it would have been perfect. Hallmark has so many beautiful memory keeping items. I know we will cherish this bank for a very long time.

Niger Exports
Niger is a developing country. Niger's economy concentrates on agriculture, animal husbandry, re-export trade, and export of uranium. Exports of cattle to neighboring Nigeria, as well as Groundnuts and their oil remain the primary non-mineral exports.
Niger has a common currency, the CFA franc, and a common central bank, the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), with seven other members of the West African Monetary Union. Niger is also a member of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA).
The agricultural economy is based mainly upon internal markets and the export of raw commodities: foodstuffs and cattle to neighbors. Foreign exchange profits from livestock, although difficult to quantify, are considered the second source of export revenue behind mining and oil exports. Actual exports far exceed official statistics, which often fail to detect large herds of animals informally crossing into Nigeria. Some hides and skins are exported, and some are transformed into handicrafts.
Cowpeas and onions are grown for commercial export, as are small quantities of garlic, peppers, potatoes, and wheat. Oasis farming in small patches of the north of the country produces onions, dates, and some market vegetables for export.
Niger is Africa's most important uranium ore exporter (75 percent of the country's total exports). Other Niger's exports include: gold, onions, beans and meat.
Niger's main export partners are France, Mali, United States, China, India, Japan, Nigeria, Italy, South Korea, Burkina Faso.
Niger's main exports are:
- Radioactive Chemicals
- Refined Petroleum
- Uranium and Thorium Ore
- Used Clothing
- Petroleum Gas
- Crude Petroleum
- Raw Sugar
- Rice
- Light Pure Woven Cotton

Niger's economy is mainly based upon subsistence crops, livestock and uranium deposits. The country has a continuous deficit on merchandise trade and Niger's imports are dominated by machinery, vehicles, fuels and cereals.
Foodstuffs, machinery, petroleum, manufactured goods and cereals are the major items imported by Niger. France and China are one of the biggest trading partners of Niger in terms of imports and exports. Trade with France accounts of nearly 17% of the African nation's exports. Nigeria is Niger's biggest trade partner in consideration of informal trade. Niger also has trade relations with Germany, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and, in the region, with Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana and Benin.
The 15% of Niger's land that is arable is found mainly along its southern border with Nigeria. In these areas, Pearl millet, sorghum, and cassava are the principal rain-fed subsistence crops. Irrigated rice for internal consumption is grown in parts of the Niger River valley in the west. While expensive, it has, since the devaluation of the CFA franc, sold for below the price of imported rice, encouraging additional production.
Niger's main import partners are China, France, United States, Japan, Togo, India, Nigeria, Germany, Cote d'Ivoire, Thailand.
Niger's main imports are:
- Rice
- Excavation Machinery
- Cars
- Delivery Trucks
- Packaged Medicaments
- Refined Petroleum
- Cement
- Large Construction Vehicles
- Rolled Tobacco
- Raw Sugar

Niger is a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. Niger covers a land area of almost 1,270,000 km2, making it the largest nation in West Africa, with over 80 percent of its land area covered by the Sahara Desert. The capital city is Niamey, situated in the far-southwest corner of Niger.
In general, two main taxes make up the tariff system. A fiscal import duty of 5–66% is applied to almost all incoming goods, regardless of origin, and serves as a source of revenue. A common external tariff (CET) of maximum 22% is levied on all goods from non-WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union) countries. There are also a value-added tax (VAT) of 19% and a statistical tax of 4.5%. Goods imported from countries that have trade agreements with Niger pay a minimum customs duty, while those from other countries are subject to a higher general tariff. Goods from EU countries other than France are dutiable at less than the minimum.
Exporting a standard container of goods from Niger requires 8 documents, takes 56 days and costs about $4475. Importing a standard container of goods to Niger requires 10 documents, takes 61 days and costs about $4500.
Globally, Niger stands at 179 in the ranking of 189 economies on the ease of trading across borders.
Niger reduced the time to import by expanding and optimizing the use of an electronic data interchange system for customs clearance.

Transit Regime
Imported cargo is cleared at the one of the many full functional customs offices located near the final destination. Cargo is thus transited without being cleared and is escorted by customs officials. The escort is a legal requirement and a guarantee, or caution, for the shipment has to be placed with the Customs Office.
Storage charges are at the rate of 650 XOF/ton without handling and 1 500 XOF/ton with handling. The price covers the duration of stay. Escort charges are a function of the number of vehicles that are to be escorted and the travel distance. Payment of fees and administration is normally delegated to a freight forwarder or handling agent.

Weighing in at less than 13 grams, the new Jabra JX20 Titanium Edition Bluetooth headset does exactly what is says on the tin.
Designed to focus on the luxury end of the Bluetooth headset market, the JX20 has 6 hours of talk time, intelligent voice control and a desk stand.
Easy touch
The device is one-touch operational, so can be activated easily, and a range of ear-hook options are provided for optimal fit.
Jabra is one of those brands that make a good, decent sounding device generally, so the product should maintain that image and add a bit of anodised appeal.
Apparently even the packaging and stand are designed by Jacob Jensen (product designer) so you know you'll be getting bang for your buck.
Priced at £99.99, the new headset will be available in the UK from June and July.

Furs were incorporated throughout the collection, driving me a little crazy since I wanted to peek at the dresses underneath.

The RSPCA has issued a warning following the publication of a photo of Prince George feeding his dog an ice cream.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge probably weren't expecting such a backlash when they released images of the young prince's third birthday, reports The Guardian.
However, backlash is what they got, as one of the snaps appears to show George holding an ice-cream lolly covered with white chocolate under pet Spaniel, Lupo's nose.
Experts have now warned people against feeding ice cream to their canine pals, as not only can dairy products cause dogs digestive problems, chocolate is highly toxic to dogs.
The RSPCA's statement said:
It is lovely that Prince George is trying to help keep his family dog, Lupo, cool in these high temperatures.
We would advise people to be cautious when giving their dogs food meant for human consumption.
Instead of ice-cream we would suggest making an ice lolly from pet-friendly ingredients. Making these can be really fun for children and the end product is both safe and enjoyable for dogs.
Typically, reactions to the picture on Twitter were slightly less measured:
Why is Prince George trying to kill this dog by feeding it a white Magnum? pic.twitter.com/LEvU6D4SeJ
— Tom McArthur (@TomMcArthur) July 22, 2016
Prince George needs chucking in prison for feeding that dog an ice cream, irresponsible animal cruelty paid for by the taxpayer
— dixie normus (@grcolton) July 22, 2016
Probably a bit over the top – he is only three, after all…
A spokesman for Kensington Palace said:
The Duke and Duchess hope that people will enjoy seeing these new photographs.
They would like to thank everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday.
However, he declined to comment on 'ice-cream-gate'.
If that's a white chocolate Magnum you wouldn't catch me sharing it with a dog…

Tender, flavor-infused pork skewers, Pinchos Morunos, are the perfect summer appetizer. We've added a spicy flair by serving them with a Spanish Mojo Picon sauce.
Pinchos Morunos: Moorish Kebabs
Pinchos Morunos (pronounced PIN-chose MOR-on-ose) technically means "Moorish little sticks," but we'll just call them "Moorish kebabs."
The Moors were a North African tribe who occupied a large part of Spain and Portugal from the 700s-1400s. The Moors, who were Muslim, would have used lamb for these skewers, but after the Moors were conquered, the Christian Spaniards took the Moorish spice blend and began using it with pork.
The Moorish spices blended with garlic to create the marinade for these pork kebabs give them a deep and robust flavor that is perfectly accented by the splash of lemon juice used to thin the marinade.
These skewers might be intended to be a tapas appetizer, but they're so good, you'll probably find yourself wanting to make a meal-sized batch very soon.
Mojo Picon: Fiery Sauce
Mojo Picon (pronounced MOH-ho PEE-con) is a fiery dip that is traditionally made from dried red chilies. The chilies are soaked and blended together to create a thick paste-like sauce that is thinned with olive oil and a bit of vinegar.
The origin of Mojo
You might be familiar with citrus mojo sauces that are common in Caribbean cuisine, but to find the origin of the sauce, we need to look deeper into the cultural roots of the Caribbean immigrants.
The word mojo is a Spanish word for "sauce". It is the name of a group of sauces originating from the Canary Islands, Spain's furthest territory, situated off of the north eastern coast of Africa. Mojos are sauces made from olive oil, garlic, spices, and local peppers of varying heat.
Making Mojo Pican at home
Since many home cooks who aren't in Spain or the Caribbean might not have easy access to the common dried chilies that are traditionally used in mojo picon, we have replaced the fiery dried cayenne and sweet Spanish nora pepper with ground cayenne powder and sweet paprika. The paprika gives the sauce a sweet smokiness and the cayenne gives the mojo picon its characteristic heat.
It is most common for mojo picon to be served cold with potatoes, but it is also a wonderful accompaniment to meat and fish. We found that the fiery mojo picon makes a perfect addition to juicy and tender pinchos morunos.
Pinchos Morunos (Spanish Pork Skewers)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ lemon, juiced (1-2 Tbsp juice)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 ½ tsp cumin
- 1 ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ¾ tsp ground coriander seeds
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1/3 tsp cayenne
- 1/3 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 lb pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 8 (6 inch) wooden skewers
- In a medium bowl, mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Add the pork cubes and mix by hand until all the pork is coated. Cover and marinade for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (up to overnight).
- When you are ready to cook your pork, preheat your grill to a medium heat, roughly 350F. (You should be able to hold your hand 4-5 inches above the cooking grate for 5-7 seconds).
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 1 minute. Then, thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers.
- Grill the skewers until the pork pieces are firm and cooked through, turning once, roughly 2-3 minutes per side. (The cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill.)
- Serve the skewers with lemon wedge and mojo picon as a hot or cold appetizer.
Mojo Picon (Spanish Spicy Sauce)
Yields: 1/2 c sauce
- 4 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 slice white bread
- 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 ½ -2 tsp cayenne powder
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 1 Tbsp water (if necessary)
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a small sauté pan. Add the bread and toast over medium heat until golden, 2-3 minutes. Flip the bread and continue to toast 2-3 minutes, until the second side is golden. Remove the bread from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
- Crumble the toasted bread into the bowl of your food processor. Add the sherry vinegar, garlic, cayenne, paprika, salt, and cumin. Cover the processor and pulse a few times until the mixture becomes thick and evenly chopped.
- Slowly add the remaining oil, 1 Tbsp at a time, mixing after each addition, until a thick paste forms. If the paste is still too thick to be dip-able, mix in 1 Tbsp of water to loosen it.
- Serve the sauce immediately or place in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Use within a week.

Exterior waterproofing
Carl was very professional and competitive with his quote. The crew worked extremely hard and were very professional throughout their work as well. I highly recommend Draincom for their service and competitive costs.
I called DrainCom and they quickly responded to my home crisis. They sent out a great plumber, Les, who fixed the problem immediately and made it easy for me to ask the questions I had to better understand what created the water problem. Thanks to Les and DrainCom
I had 3 plumbing problems in 3 different bathrooms in my house between leaking and no hot water in shower. Les came on the right time and fixed all the problems very professionally and the amazing thing he did it in much less time! Definitely I will use this company again... and ask for Les.
Basement Waterproofing
I told the estimator, my story and experience, and he told me the problem I am experiencing is common, easy to rectify, and not very costly. He patiently and professionally explained the cause and how to rectify the problem from the INSIDE at a fraction of the cost I was quoted from the others and with much less damage, mess and time.
Drain Services
DrainCom used a camera to look through the pipe for blockages and identified the cause of the back up... TREE ROOTS! He was able to clean out the pipes and showed us the finished product as well. I would highly recommend Draincom and would contact them in the future for any further plumbing/drain services we may require.

If you ask most fans of the National Basketball Association, LeBron James and Michael Jordan are most likely the two most well-liked NBA players of their respective generations. He mentioned that the GAA is the driving force behind this meeting where they are expected to meet the majority, if not all, of Grenada's foreign-based track and field athletes in New York. Even writers that I respect, like Bill Madden of the New York Daily News, just take it as well far. In spite of the disappointing team outcome, Smith's efficiency was a vibrant spot for the Chiefs and fantasy owners, and he now sports a sparkling 15: TD:INT ratio just a single game shy of the midway point of Kansas City's season. The game has survived numerous challenges and disasters including the 1919 Black Sox scandal when many players from the Chicago White Sox conspired to throw the World Series.
Sports Illustrated may possibly obtain compensation for some hyperlinks to goods and services on this internet site. In the NFL, there are presently three players from Aliquippa, PA. Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets, Jonathan Baldwin of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tommie Campbell of the Tennessee Titans. It really is a honor and pleasure to talk about the joy and excitement of UofL's women student athletes and sports We appreciate the air time he offers us each and every week and his promotion of Louisvville women's sports on air.
Depleting savings and forgoing vacations are fairly typical when supporting your child's sports activities. Khan, a self-produced billionaire who immigrated from Pakistan, contends that Trump's flap with the NFL pales when compared to social troubles, notably like Trump's proposed travel bans that target people from Muslim-majority nations. The Patriots have been accused of secretly filming the signals of the defensive coaches for the New York Jets. Rison was only the fifth receiver in NFL history to score 60 touchdowns in his 1st six seasons and led the NFL in most receptions in his 1st four and 5 seasons.
Via sports and competition, we find out several values that will stick with us for the rest of our life, such as operating hard to accomplish ambitions, all of which require to contribute to building a character resembling good sportsmanship far more than gamesmanship. NFL players just a bunch of overweight flabby slugs that stand about and in fact play only a couple of seconds out of every handful of minutes. He won the MLS Cup with Chicago fire in 1998 and also won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with the exact same group in the same year.
Assuming Walker's calf injury is not a key issue, he's looking at a nice Week 7 matchup, as the Browns' official web site relays that no NFL team has allowed much more catches to tight ends this season than Cleveland. As uncommon as it may appear, yes there is a sports anime revolving about bicycles and cycling in common. So, as a final attempt to get you to make a selection, here's a list of different aspects common to each sports and my opinion on which is the greater sport for every single consideration.

Non-beginner students can start on any Monday.
Groups are small (maximum 8 students per group) and are formed according to results of an assessment test, which is compulsory for all students.
A very important minimum requirement for all group courses is passive knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet.
Individual courses are available throughout the year.
If you have additional questions:
Standard Group Course
Our teaching method uses no intermediary language: we teach Russian in Russian from day one. This develops an ability to interact in Russian much faster and helps overcome any language barrier. Our communicative approach to teaching makes the educational process an enjoyable and efficient experience. Of course you will learn grammar alongside, but you will do so using new words and language skills adapted to daily situations.
The curriculum is built up like a spiral, where each new level of language acquisition starts with the revision of previously studied grammar constructions, logically connected with different speech patterns. This has two advantages: group newcomers are able to feel involved in the learning process, while continuing students acquire new vocabulary based on previously acquired grammar material.
Each course starts on a Monday and ends on a Friday, with lessons taking place usually between 10:00 and 14:00. The minimum course length is two weeks. One lesson is 50 minutes.
Intensive Group Course
If you choose our Intensive Group Course, you will have 20 morning lessons with students following the Standard Group Course and 5 additional lessons, taught on two afternoons. Intensive Group Courses are offered in three different levels:
- Elementary (A1/A1+)
- Pre-intermediate (A2/A2+)
- Intermediate (B1/B1+)
Intensive Group Courses are also available at Upper Intermediate (B2/B2+) and Advanced (C1) levels when there is sufficient demand.
Combined course (20 group + 5 one-to-one lessons weekly)
These courses combine our standard Group courses with additional, more focussed study in a variety of business or cultural fields. Students will join a standard group course (20 lessons per week) but receive an additional 5 One-to-One lessons per week tailored to their particular profession. You can add even more One-to-One lessons weekly tailored to your particular profession or area of interest.
Individual Russian classes
Our One-to-One Courses are designed for students who require a very focussed area of study. You will be invited to specify your field of interest when completing the online booking form, so that we can pre-select material, establish a study plan and prepare specific vocabulary.
One-to-one courses are available in varying degrees of intensity: 15, 20, 30 or 40 lessons per week. For 30 lessons or more the student is taught by two teachers.
Individual courses will be run from April 2017 and until the end of the year. The minimum course length is one week with each course starting on a Monday and ending on a Friday, though weekend classes can be organised on request.

Life throws us curve balls. No matter how contempt we are in our own world with our friends, family, and usual hang out spots, there will always be an 'event', an 'experience', or 'a person' who will cause a wave in our steady ocean, so to speak.
These events, experiences, or people can be a good thing or a bad thing on a significant level. And, it is at that significant level where we are at a check point in our lives and have to make major decisions.
When great events, experiences, or people enter our lives on a significant level, it's more so creating a new and wonderful chapter in our lives. We embrace it and look forward to more. By 'significant level' I mean the following:
When great events, experiences, or people enter our lives on a significant level, it's more so creating a new and wonderful chapter in our lives. We embrace it and look forward to more. By 'significant level' I mean the following:
- Events such as graduation day, wedding day, etc.
- Experiences such as going on vacation with your best friend, luncheons with coworkers, etc.
- People, such as good nature people who become your close/best friend, mentors, etc
|However, for this blog post, I'm focusing more on the opposite end of the pole- the bad things on a significant level because I want to share my experience and healing process of how I had to hit the 'reset button' on my life after my grandparents died roughly two years apart. Also, it's the topic of my radio show for 22 March, which is the day I started The Violet Sanctuary Spa in 2010.
If only it were as easy as the Staple's easy button!!
Starting over isn't easy! It's especially not easy if you were forced to detach yourself from a person or people and a situation like myself just two years before I created The Violet Sanctuary Spa. My grandmother passed away in the Fall of 2006 and my Pop Pop passed away in early 2008. This was very devastating for me because I was extremely close to the both of them, I actually go into more detail in my upcoming book, To Be Goddess Every Woman Is A Goddess; Discover The Domain In Which You Reign Supreme.
After my Pop Pop passed, I really felt like a lost soul and I was looking for a way 'in'. I was looking for a way to understand exactly what just took place not once, but twice. It was at that point of trying to make sense of their deaths that I discovered my spirituality, which was during a two year healing process.
A way of life as I knew it had ended and there I was at a fork in the road, the check point as I mentioned earlier, of my life faced with two possibilities- I can either continue to live wondering about the situations that took place and hope that I just wake up from this nightmare OR begin a new life which consist of healing not only myself, but others. And, so The Violet Sanctuary Spa was born.
The cornerstone of The Violet Sanctuary Spa, LLC is
to serve and to heal
to serve and to heal
Here are ways you can hit the reset button on life and live with the knowledge of knowing that you can change not only your world, but the world of others in a positive way because (believe me) someone out there is just waiting for you to tell your story of perseverance, providing them inspiration.
- Cry It Out or Cry Out Loud! Let those emotions roll! It's better to let the tears roll down your face than to keep it bottled up inside! Yell about it! Express your anger, disappointment, fear, etc. Yell! It will make you feel better. Cry it out or cry out loud to:
- First yourself so you can try to make sense of the situation
- Second to Spirit so you can receive answers
- Third to friends so they can continue to lend you their support
- Plan! After your healing period, you need a plan of action. Start off by saying the plan out loud over and over again until you feel that it's right and believable.
- Put the plan into action! Put the plan into action at your own pace with obtainable deadlines. I don't want your plans to linger! Remember, you don't have to work alone!
- Commend yourself for how far you have come, how much you have accomplished, and maintain contact with your friends and family especially during this time.
- Do not! I repeat. Do not!!! Go posting your very sensitive and detailed private information on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media formats. Those social media outlets are for 'social' activities. Putting your business out there is not good because you will get those insensitive people responding to you at a time when you are very vulnerable. Plus, it's just not smart. If you must chat it out online, go to a forum that is specifically for your interest. For example, an online community that has discussion boards about migraines etc.
As a bonus, subscribe to The Violet Sanctuary Spa's Sacred Newsletter and receive a free download of the Healer's Worksheet so that you can print it and write out your answers. It will help you along in the healing process because you are expressing your thoughts, which is a continuation of the healing process!

This is one of my favorite categories of them all. You might ask why, but only Best Original Song is the only category that has the capacity to make the snobs, conservatives and the elderly audiences cringe uncomfortably. Take 2002 and 2005 for instance. Usually people wait for commercials to head to the bathroom but when Eminem and Three-Six Mafia took the stage to receive their hardware, there was alot of movement in the crowd (and at home too, I'm sure). I think that this category is particularly important because a film can live or die due to the way it makes an audience feel. Other than imagery or dialog, the only other way to evoke strong emotions in an audience is through music. It is only when a song represents the soul of an entire film, can it be found within this category.
And the nominees are…
"Happy Working Song"
Music by Alan Menken Lyric by Stephen Schwartz
"So Close"
Music by Alan Menken
Lyric by Stephen Schwartz
"That's How You Know"
Music by Alan Menken
Lyric by Stephen Schwartz
Three songs from Disney's Enchanted are all nominated for Best Original Song. So what does this film have going for it? Winning an outrageous percentage of their nominations within this category, Disney is a big deal for the Academy. Since 1989's The Little Mermaid, animated Disney films have won seven out of eleven possible times. This also might be a weakness, as it is usually animated films that have this rich winning history whereas live action Disney films have not raked in any nominations. What also might hold this film back is the fact that it is nominated for three times within the same category. Take 2006's Dreamgirls, a film that boasted three nominations within this category, that could only muster two Oscars from categories other than this. A blessing and a curse, this highly capable film is like three puppies all fighting for the same steak dinner while a quicker neighborhood dog sneaks away with the prize.
"Falling Slowly"
Music and Lyric by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
If there was one movie this year that its soundtrack alone could drive audiences to the theaters, it was Once. The film starred two musicians, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who show their talents off on the big screen in a big way. The nomination comes at no surprise for anyone who has seen the film, as the song provides the heart and soul of a fantastic film. In short, who knows if anyone would have even heard of Once if it weren't for this song and the film's amazing soundtrack. Normally, "Falling Slowly" would be a clear-cut winner. Due to some controversy surrounding the legitimacy of the nomination, this just might be enough negativity to taint the chances of this song being a winner. Let's just hope that the Academy won't hold a grudge against a film that deserves recognition.
August Rush
"Raise It Up"
Music and Lyric by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack and Tevin Thomas
A film that turned out to be as cheesed up as its trailer, August Rush does bring us one reason to re-watch. The music of the film was mildly impressive, but is also the only thing that was remotely impressive. Can we call this a pity nomination? Maybe it was just that the academy couldn't triple team Once, so they picked a song from "that other music filled movie." I honestly can't explain this one. The song is nice, but doesn't represent the spirit of this award. In short, the movie was mediocre with the song, and still just mediocre without it.
Who's going to win?
Once – "Falling Slowly"
Who should win?
Once – "Falling Slowly"
Who got overlooked?
The Simpsons Movie – Spider Pig

Need a Loan or Finance? Blacklisted?
Our range of finance and loan products means you don't
need to shop around for any kind of loan or finance. Even blacklisted clients can apply for a loan at Dot Loans. If you need a loan, you are on the right site.
Do you need a loan? Do you have unexpected expenses?
Initiation Fee of 15% of the Loan Amount up to R1 000, thereafter 10 % (+ VAT)
Services Fee of R50 per month (+ VAT)
We can assist with Personal Loans, Long Term Loans, Consolidation Loans and Cash Loans. Below is simply a example of a one month Cash Loan.
The internet made finding any finance product hassle free. Getting a blacklisted loan from a web bank takes a few easy steps and cuts out the time and money you would have spent on seeking the appropriate bank.
Most people get confused by the word blacklisted. It is only an expression used to describe persons who has a bad credit history. The word blacklisted makes people think that they will not qualify for financing but that is not the case. When a bank does requests your money credit rating from a credit rating agency, only your personal information is given to the lender.
When you need to borrow money and have a bad credit record, a blacklisted loan will momentarily help you out of a troublesome situation. These loans are available as secured finance.
Secured finance is financing where you sign something valuable as security for the credit provider in case you so go into arrears with your monthly repayments.
If you are over indebted, we suggest debt review.
However, signing valuables against the borrowed money is a risk taken as you do risk losing those valuables. Most people put property up on as surety for the blacklisted loan. The bank agrees to lend cash to the candidate if he is willing to sign his valuable as surety to secure a loan. If the borrower can t pay back the borrowed money, the company can by law take ownership of the valuable that is up against the borrowed finance.
Those with bad credit records and seeking credit providers to borrow money must be vary of what they sign over for surety for the borrowed finance as they do risk losing it.
An unsecured loan for people with a bad credit history is virtually non-existing unless you borrow cash from a loan shark who loans money to basically anyone. Those providers usually work outside the credit laws so be careful when borrowing money from a Micro bank. Rather get someone who is acquainted with the law to go through the contracts of these credit providers.
Regardless, blacklisted loans are very useful for a person who is blacklisted and have a bad credit record.
Getting a blacklisted loan from a registered credit provider has never been simpler. Instead of going in to the Micro bank and applying for a loan, you can now do it in the safety of your own home over the internet. Getting a poor credit loan is as easy as 1 2 3

I'm a Business Owner: What's a Yelp Check-in Offer?
Let's talk about a new feature on Yelp, the Check-in Offer. This is your guide to Check-in offers as a business owner.
Background: What's a "Check-in"?
With smartphone usage among consumers growing like crazy, Yelp has developed software (or "apps") customized for these devices (think: iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc.). The devices are location-aware— they offer consumers a way to perform searches for a local business in the vicinity of the phone's exact location. When users are able to interact with Yelp using such exact coordinates, cool stuff starts to happen.
One of those cool things is a "check-in". Check-ins provide an entirely new way for your customers to exclaim their love for your business: by literally walking through your door and telling their friends they've arrived at your place of business. And because Yelp's Android and iPhone apps synchronize with Twitter and Facebook, your business's buzz can travel far and wide. Your customers have been using Yelp to "check in" to your place of business ever since we launched the feature nearly a year ago; in fact, our weekly business owner email provides metrics for how many people check into your business every week.
Announcing: Check-in Offers
Checking in has become popular with consumers — but how can you, the business owner, leverage this exciting trend to affect your bottom line?
Today, we're excited to announce Check-in Offers. This new feature within the business owner dashboard allows you to reward customers with a coupon when they "check-in" to your business. It provides a measurable way to reward your most loyal customers while attracting new ones.
Check-in Offers is available in the countries we offer our free suite of tools, Yelp for Business Owners, which is the US, Canada, UK and Ireland and while the vast majority of businesses on Yelp can take advantage of Check-in Offers, we have restricted a few categories from participating. These are the types of businesses you'd expect — plumbers, limousine drivers, locksmiths, etc — where a service is provided on the go, rather than at one physical location.
What happens when a consumer unlocks your offer? If a consumer chooses the "Use it Now!" option for his Check-in Offer on that visit, it will disappear automatically from his device in a few hours time. The user or the business owner can also tap a button on the phone to mark the offer as used, expiring the timer immediately.
If a consumer chooses to "Save it!", that Check-in Offer will be saved several places on their device: the "About Me" page; at the top of the business page where they earned that offer and on the Check-ins tab on the Yelp app. The user can then redeem the offer anytime, following the same process above.

text: Hotlinking, which is oftentimes termed bandwidth theft too, describes linking to images that are on another site. Essentially, if you have an Internet site with some images on it, someone else may also build a website and rather than using their own images, they can put links straight to your images. Although this might not be such a big problem if you have a smaller personal Internet site, it'll be something really serious if the images are copyrighted, due to the fact that someone can be aiming to copy your Internet site and deceive people. If your web hosting plan has a limited monthly bandwidth quota, you could run out of resources without getting actual visitors, as the traffic will be consumed by the other website. That is why you need to consider preserving your content from being hotlinked - not only images, but also documents, as in rare occasions other sorts of files are linked as well.

Oh man I'm right with ya. XD I started watching dramas a year ago and Yusuke was my favourite right away, so over the past year I've been watching everything of his with subs that I can get my hands on. XDtrixi wrote:I was a HUUUUUUUUUGE Yusuke fan a couple of years ago so I watched all his dramas so I had no doubts about him being a good choice *insert I liked Yusuke before he went mainstream hipster glasses here xD* but the boy sure is a really good actor!
I also remember after Hana Kimi there were Ouran live-action rumors and also then, back in 2007 Yusuke was rumored as Tamaki. I'm so glad he actually got the role ^^
(and I'm surprised to see Kamen Rider Kabuto watchers here, tokusatsu often scare people away, but Kabuto had some real eye-candy in it ;D and now I'm going a bit OT, but could it be that some of you lovely people are from the old Yusuke forum Pink Aura??? :DD)
And I actually liked Kamen Rider Kiva way more than Kabuto. >w< I found Kabuto kind of boring after a while, so I kept going like "oh god there's only a few episodes left keep going," especially after

FCC Chair Promotes Wireless Spectrum Plan
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski announced a vague "mobile broadband agenda" to aid the build-out of high speed, 4G wireless networks in a keynote speech at the CTIA Wireless IT trade show on Wednesday.
His four-point plan includes increasing the amount of wireless spectrum available for mobile Internet, cutting the red tape around building new towers, keeping the Internet "open," and giving consumers clearer information about their wireless options and plans. But the points themselves seemed to be full of inquiries and "open proceedings" rather than action.
The only new, concrete step Genachowski introduced was a "shot clock" designed to speed the thorny process of building new wireless towers, which often get stuck in the local government permit process.
Other topics were a lot fuzzier. On net neutrality, for instance, Genachowski said "there are real and relevant differences between wired and wireless" and that wireless companies should be allowed to use "reasonable network management." But he punted the future "sensible rules of the road" down to an FCC event next month.
The chairman commended AT&T for allowing "Internet calling applications on the iPhone," as well as "Verizon's announcement about the Android platform," calling them "both wins for consumers."
Genachowski said "the biggest threat to the future of mobile in America is the looming spectrum crisis," but he didn't give specific plans on how to fix it, other than by saying "we will need a lot more spectrum."
In terms of opening up new spectrum for 4G, Genachowski said that he will seek to reallocate existing spectrum to 4G data use, but didn't give specifics. He hinted that "with Wi-Fi, we've seen the benefits of adding unlicensed spectrum to the national mix. Wireless carriers have generally opposed adding more unlicensed spectrum, which they do not control.
As for "prioritizing consumer transparency ... the FCC is also aware of ongoing confusion and frustration in the marketplace," Genachowski said. But the FCC is right now sticking to an "inquiry" on the way wireless companies explain things to consumers - they're not taking action.
"When we say that we haven't determined what we are going to do with handset exclusivity and we want your input, we mean it. The same applies to an open Internet," he said.
In a keynote following Genachowski, AT&T Mobility chief executive Ralph de la Vega ran down a list of statistics which he said proved that the U.S. was the world's most vibrant and competitive wireless market.
WIth more than 630 phones available from 30 manufacturers, the lowest cost for voice minutes in the developed world, and a wide range of smartphone operating systems available, "the United States is indeed the most vibrant, the most innovative and the most competitive wireless market in the world," he said.
The U.S. leads the world in 3G subscribers, with 22 percent of the world's 3G customers against only 7 percent of the world's total population of mobile subscribers, de la Vega said.
De la Vega made a veiled complaint about government moves towards mandating wireless network neutrality and openness, though.
"The rules should not change after the [spectrum] bidding is complete. Bidders need confidence that the conditions governing their licenses won't change," he said.
