Telecoms are a one of a key economic sector, which has experienced unparalleled growth over the past 20 years. During this time, the relative portion of household budgets spent on telecoms more than doubled. This book goes beyond the obvious boom of mobile phones and the Internet to show how telecoms are a sector which supports vast swaths of our economy. This phenomenon is observed in developed countries (for example in the health or surveillance sectors) as well as in developing countries, where telecoms contribute to socio-economic development.
How long will this dynamic last? If telecoms, via the much debated phenomenon of "convergence", are the basis for a 3rd industrial revolution, what challenges lie ahead in future decades? What are the prospects of telecoms in 2030, and how can we sharpen our forecasts? These are the key themes tackled by the authors of this book, whose prospec tive answers are based on their own extensive experience.
In a world without telecoms… we'd have to invent them. The role of telecoms goes well beyond the little daily stories of using the Internet or our mobile phones. Their impact on the development of society, business and even countries is increasingly significant.
The authors of this book, two distinguished telecoms specialists, decode the full magnitude of the telecommunication sector using resources from not only the fields of economics and technology, but also history and sociology.
The book takes an audacious stance: it places telecoms in the context of a third industrial revolution, that of the digital age, equivalent to the steam engine and railroads of the first industrial revolution. It shows how information and communication technologies (ICTs) are an essential part of our economy, and how they increasingly shape and structure other sectors (tele-services, tele-medicine, etc.).
With great insight, the authors explore various key telecoms trends to answer the questions: how do we reduce the digital divide? What new consumer habits stem from ICTs? And, finally, what is their impact on the development of emerging countries ?

About the Author: Michelle E. Neyland services as ExchangesConnect Network Administrator.
Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) 2008-2009 alumnus Giorgi Maghlakelidze, from the Republic of Georgia, was recently announced as the winner of the Mascot Challenge on the ExchangesConnect website. ExchangesConnect, an international social networking site managed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in the U.S. Department of State, recently challenged its members to design a mascot that represents its mission of cross-cultural dialogue and international exchange. Designs were submitted from all over the world.
Maghlakelidze designed iDrop with the idea that it represents each one of us. Just as drops of water collect to form streams, waterfalls, and large oceans, Maghlakelidze used the image of a drop to symbolize how we, as people, can increase our own strength by connecting with others across the globe.
"Even though we might be from different parts of the world, we are the same," Maghlakelidze said, "We have immense, world-changing power within us, but especially when we unite."
Maghlakelidze participated in a FLEX program in California. FLEX students spend a year in the United States living with a host family and attending an American high school. Maghlakelidze described the FLEX program as "nothing else I've experienced my entire life. It was a magical, mind-changing, best-friend-making, life-teaching, extremely-interesting, rich-experience-giving year. Never before have I experienced such magnificent adventures, learned so much about other country and people, and myself. My life has changed, and so have I."

Congratulations Giorgi, great artwork and concept. And the most important is that you feel free and you fight for Democracy no matter the difficulties.
My Note: Giorgi is coming from a country which faced and faces multiple problems (from the Russians). I imagine that everyday climate there -- psychology in general -- is not the best for someone to create in a free way (without "fears" about the future). But, Giorgi did it!
What I mean is that he did not had an ideal climate to help him create in an added value way. Nevertheless, not only he was great in his "submission" (according to me his mascot was the best), but also the winner of this great project. I think that this means a lot.
Congratulations Giorgi! Keep up your "great spirit".
@ Michelle -- I don't like repeating myself, although sometimes it's useful and "must". You already know my opinion concerning the way you administrate exchangesconnect (from a post there). Although I am not the appropriate target group of this social net (age wise), I love visiting and reading things there from time to time. This makes me feel young too. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB, because I think you love what you do! Thank you!

Friday 13th lucky for some
A Norske automater.com customer hit it big winning the pooled jackpot of Euro 3.1 million playing NetEnt's Mega Fortune game earlier this month.
The Mega Fortune title forms part of NetEnt's global jackpot network, where the liquidity from numerous European online casinos is pooled.

"I'm not superstitious, but Friday 13th was a strange day," the lucky punter said.
"I tried to stop the transaction, but it was too late, so perhaps it was destiny!"
"We're only three months into the year and there have been two significant pooled jackpots drop," added Simon Hammon, chief product officer of NetEnt. "The life-changing sums on offer act as a perfect way to boost acquisition rates and retention levels for operators".

First and most shocking were the reports horrified drivers wrote about their runaway cars. Second were startling emails Toyota's engineers had sent each other. They were searching for UA's root causes, but they could not seem to find them.
They sometimes admitted it was the electronic parts, the engine computer, the software, or interference by radio waves. Meanwhile, efforts were made to find floor mats that would trap gas pedals and conveniently explain UA. The R&D chief admitted that incompletely developed cars had gone into production and that quality control of parts was poor or non-existent.
Third, I read many descriptions by executives and managers of how they had hoodwinked regulators, courts, and even Congress, by withholding, omitting, or misstating facts.
Last, and most damning, I found Toyota's press releases to be bland reassurances obviously meant to help maintain public belief in the safety of Toyota's cars—despite providing no evidence to support those reassurances. I saw a huge gap between the hard facts known by engineers and executives and the make-believe produced for public consumption by Toyota's PR department.

2011 Sarajevo Open - Day 1
Edgar Miraku is the head coach of the U.S. Men's Sitting Volleyball Team, which is based at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond. On May 28-30, the team is playing in the Sarajevo Open in Bosnia-Herzegovina
The draw in "Sarajevo Open" placed our U.S. Men's Sitting team in the pool with Netherland's national team, the German Bayer team and the hosts Fantomi.
Our guys opened the day playing against the seasoned Fantomi. We started a bit slow and Fantomi took the early lead and widened it as the set went on. The second set was a better performance for Team USA as it battled all along. The team play was more consistent, and we were able to capitalize on several offensive plays.
At the end Fantomi won the second set by two. The high scorer for the match was team captain Brent Rasmussen with 8 points. As a team we passed 1.73.
In the second match versus the Germans, again Team USA fell behind in the first set. However it bounced back, sticking together and pulling out the second set, taking the match to three sets.
The third set, played to 15, was characterized by several unforced errors on our part. The Germans won the third set, 15-7.
The match against The Netherlands was a closer match all along. Team USA started strong, but after the midway point, the teams kept trading points with the score being tied at 20. Three consecutive unforced errors for Team USA sealed the first set win for the Dutch, 25-21.
The second set, our guys played more focused and determined. The passing and defense improved compared to the first set as a result of adjustments. The score was close throughout the set with either team taking the lead on and off. After a tied score at 24, 25, and 26, again the Dutch team capitalized on our hitting errors to win the third set 28-26. Team USA passed 2.0 for the match and the leading scorer was Eric Duda with 8 points.
Tomorrow morning we play Start Poland.
Results: Fantomi def. USA, 25-9, 25-23
Bayer (Germany) def. USA, 25-10, 23-25, 15-7
Netherlands def. USA, 25-21, 28-26

A Spotlight on Calgary's Cultural Ambassadors:
Jeff de Boer
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel, was developed to enhance the recognition of Calgary's burgeoning cultural scene and to bring appreciation to arts and culture in Calgary.
Fashion Calgary collaborates with many different Calgarians in various fields to determine what culture means to them and why Calgary is such a cultural city. Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 discovered many exceptional Calgarians and leaders within the community and have selected them to be this year's ambassadors.
One of those ambassadors is Jeff de Boer. Jeff is a born and raised Calgarian who was an aspiring artist from the young age of 5. He spent most of his early years painting, drawing and creating objects. In highschool was when his interest in metal work grew and when he created his first suit of armour.
Jeff enrolled at the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD), which is where he combined his skills in jewellery construction and armour design to develop the world's first and only armour for a mouse. Jeff eventually went on to exhibit his works of art across Western Canada. His work has allowed him to gain an international reputation of creating some of the most original and well-crafted art pieces. Jeff has continued to grow artistically and is continuously developing new ideas. Jeff is currently an instructor at ACAD and has a studio in the southeast of Calgary.
View Jeff's thoughts on arts and culture in Calgary in the video below.
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 - Exclusive interview with Jeff de Boer by Ania Basak from Fashion Calgary on Vimeo.
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel. Basak and Wegiel are devoted to diligently raising the profile of arts and fashion in Calgary though innovative measures and grass roots methods.
In 2012, the campaign featured "the ambassadors" who represented various fields related to culture by presenting their portraits together with their own expressions about the meaning of culture in their life. The completion of Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2012 was the Gala event, created to celebrate its success in establishing Calgary as a cultural centre.
In creating this campaign, Basak and Wegiel hope to enhance Calgary's image in the country while encouraging Calgarians to take part in the many arts activities our city has to offer. In the long-term, Fashion Calgary has a strong desire to spread the idea of highlighting the appreciation of art & culture throughout the country of Canada.

NASA Tells Congress to "Pray" if Meteor Comes

Russia's meteor
(Source: gannett-cdn.com)
NASA needs funding for small meteor defense
NASA told Congress to "pray" if a meteor similar to
the one that hit Russia last month
is ever three weeks away from the U.S.
NASA administrator Charles Bolden Jr. told Congress that the U.S. doesn't have the proper equipment to identify a small meteor (the size of Russia's meteor) in a House Committee hearing on Tuesday.
"If it's coming in three weeks ... pray," Bolden said. "The reason I can't do anything in the next three weeks is because for decades we have put it off. We are where we are today because, you know, you all told us to do something and between the administration and the Congress, the funding to do that did not - the bottom line is always
the funding did not come
The U.S. is able to detect larger meteors (and offset them a bit by crashing a spacecraft into them, thus slowing them down and changing their course) with plenty of in advance, but smaller objects are more difficult because the sun blinds satellites. That's precisely why Russia didn't see the meteor coming -- and neither did the U.S.
Had the meteor not stayed intact for only seconds longer, it would have had the impact of 20 Hiroshima bombs once hitting Russia, according to a
CBS News report
Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said that the U.S. needs a space-based infrared telescope to see smaller objects coming. This particular telescope would work because the sun wouldn't be an issue in blocking sight of the objects.
Yeomans also suggested ground-based wide field optical telescopes that could keep an eye on large parts of the sky at night.
The space-based infrared telescope would cost "a few hundred million dollars."
However, government funding remains an issue. Bolden said NASA was budgeted only $20.5 million for its near-Earth object observation program for fiscal 2012.
While NASA doesn't see any large meteors coming toward Earth in the foreseeable future (and current large meteor detection equipment would know decades in advance), small meteors need to be taken seriously as well to prevent destruction.
The Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over Russia on February 15, 2013. It was estimated to be traveling at 40,000 MPH and was about 11,000 tonnes.
CBS News
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

The ITF has announced that the ITF Beach Tennis World Championships will be hosted in Italy by the Italian Tennis Federation (FIT). The event will take place in the Bagno Delfino, located on the Adriatic resort of Cervia in Ravenna, July 31 – August 4, 2013.
This fifth edition Championship will have both men's and women's doubles draws, and was first hosted by the Italians in the Foro Italico (Rome) from 2009 until 2011. The Italians, who are cited as the inventors of beach tennis, have dominated the game so far, with Marco Garavini and Paolo Tazzari winning the 2012 men's title and Simona Briganti and Laura Olivieri defended the women's title.
President Francesco Ricci Bitti said: "We are delighted to see the continued growth of the Beach Tennis Tour," said ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti. "The ITF Beach Tennis World Championships remain a focal point of the beach tennis calendar, and it is fitting that this year's event is staged in such an active region for the sport." Over 40 countries are currently represented in the ITF Beach Tennis Rankings.

Miss America at anti-bullying forum sponsored by Abercrombie & Fitch
The Columbus Dispatch - December 09, 2013 03:55 PM
The 2014 Miss America, Nina Davuluri, will speak to 200 area high school students at an anti-bullying symposium Friday morning, Dec. 13, at Abercrombie & Fitch headquarters in New Albany and, in the afternoon, at Olentangy High School.
The appearances are not open to the public.
The symposium is one of 20 anti-bullying forums that Abercrombie is sponsoring after meeting
with critics who claimed that the teen fashion retailer excludes certain shoppers. The criticism
arose over comments that CEO Michael S. Jeffries made in 2006 that resurfaced earlier this year. He
was addressing why the company does not make women's clothing in any size above "large," noting the
exclusive nature of its offerings.
Davuluri is the first Miss America winner of Indian descent. After winning the pageant crown she was the target of online comments that compared her to a terrorist, among other invectives.

Nurse-initiated analgesia improves patients' pain experience: time for change?
- Joseph Epstein Centre for Emergency Medicine Research at Western Health, Sunshine Hospital, St Albans, Victoria, Australia
- Correspondence to Anne-Maree Kelly
Director, Joseph Epstein Centre for Emergency Medicine Research at Western Health, Sunshine Hospital, Furlong Road, St Albans, VIC 3021 Australia; anne-maree.kelly{at}wh.org.au
Implications for practice and research
▪ With appropriate training and safeguards, nurse-initiated analgesia should be more broadly adopted for treatment of emergency department (ED) patients with abdominal pain. Further research is warranted investigating barriers to early analgesia administration in ED.
▪ Research is warranted comparing different analgesia protocols for safety and effectiveness.
▪ Research should investigate the safety and effectiveness of analgesia initiated at triage.
Pain is a very common problem in EDs. There is convincing evidence that treatment of pain in the ED is suboptimal, in timeliness and adequacy of pain control.1 Contributors to this failure include myths regarding masking of symptoms, historical models of care where …

Court: Text Drivers and You May be Liable if They Hurt or Kill Someone
Jason Mick
August 29, 2013 11:53 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Bekah Walker)
If it is proven you knew the subject was driving, you can be taken to court by victims for damages
In an era where some feel personal responsibility is being thrown to the wayside, an East Coast court has opened a whole new can of worms in the distracted driving debate, arguing that if you text someone -- even if
are not driving -- you may be held responsible for
that person's crimes
I. Court: Text a Driver in a Crash, and you Could Face Penalties
a ruling
[PDF] that many New Jersey residents feel is overstretching and out-of-touch, a three-judge panel at the
Superior Court of New Jersey's Appellate Division
ruled that in some cases you can be held civilly liable under distracted driving statutes if the person you text commits a vehicular crime, i.e. hitting someone or damaging property.
The court writes that in cases where a person has a "special reason" to know they're driving:
[T]he texter has a duty to users of the public roads to refrain from sending the driver a text at that time.
When the sender knows that the text will reach the driver while operating a vehicle, the sender has a relationship to the public who use the roadways similar to that of a passenger physically present in the vehicle.
Josh Rose -- don't text any drivers or you might wind up paying big. [Image Source: Sony]
Based on this ruling it appears that the court's opinion indicates that if you text someone and there's no evidence that you knew they were driving, you won't be held liable. But if, for example, police get ahold of a transcript of your chat and it indicates that the driver mentioned they were on the road, you may be held civilly liable.
II. New Laws Could Introduce Prison Time for Texting Drivers
What's more, it's important to consider that the ruling could both extend to other types of distracted driving and even lead to potential criminal penalties, such as time in prison.
distracted driving efforts
largely started as campaigns to increase civil liability. As these efforts received public support, states began to
roll out criminal penalties as well
; for instance the State of New Jersey
in 2012
passed a law that equated causing an injury while texting to driving while greatly intoxicated (some studies have shown that
driving while texting is more dangerous than driving drunk
). The new law allows the state to fine texting drivers up to $150,000 USD and put them in prison for up to 10 years.
Future laws could send those who text drivers to prison. [Image Source: Getty Images]
Eventually similar -- but likely lesser punishments -- could creep into state criminal codes if you text a driver. Such a possibility may so extraordinary, but remember the U.S. imprisons
more of its population than any other country in the world
(officially, at least).
In New Jersey
a pending law
proposed by state
Sen. James Holzapfel
(R) would make it legal for
a police officer to seize your phone
without warrant and
order you to unlock it
in criminal and traffic investigations. While the
American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) is fighting the law, some fear it may pass.
Given the appeal's court's ruling, this could spell trouble not only for drivers, but for those not even in the car as well. For example, if a police seizure of your chat history shows you knew you were texting a driver who caused a deadly accident, you might find yourself sent to prison for 2 or 3 years.
Likewise many distracted driving statutes are now covering other things -- people talking to the driver, food in the car, etc. Cities in
South Dakota
have passed ordinances against eating or drinking on the road. While officers insist they won't ticket you for merely taking a bite of food if you're driving safely, they have significant leeway to ratchet up your ticket if you get in an accident while eating.
Some cities already outlaw "distracted eating". If a passenger distracts a driver with appetizing food smells, should they faces hundreds of thousands in fines if the driver crashes?
[Image Source: SFAppeal]
Similar provisions could apply eventually to passengers eating in the car. (e.g. A city passes a statute prohibiting passengers from distracting a hungry driver by eating food, a person gets in a crash and a cop tickets their passenger as well because they have a burger and fries in their lap.)
III. Couple in the Case Scored $500,000 USD from Driver, but Lose Suit Against His Texting GF
The case under dispute in New Jersey is a pretty sad story. It involves husband and wife David and Linda Kubert who were out on a motorcycle ride in Morris County when an 18-year-old motorist driving a pickup truck veered over the line while texting, striking the couple.
The couple injured were riding their motorcycle when the texter's truck crossed the center line.
[Image Source: The Express Times]
The motorist -- Kyle Best -- stopped, but the damage was already done. Both the husband and wife suffered serious lower body injuries; both lost legs.
Stephen "Skippy" Weinstein
, a top local attorney, represented the couple in court. He helped them sue Mr. Best, who eventually settled for $500,000 USD. But more surprisingly he also sued Mr. Best's girlfriend, Shannon Colonna, who was the person who sent him the fateful text that cops believed triggered the lane departure, arguing in court that her texts made it as if she had an electronic presence in the car and was there distracting the driver.
Court records showed that Ms. Colonna -- 17 at the time -- sent her boyfriend 62 texts per day on average, and sent approximately 100 texts total daily to her friends. The contents of the couple's texts -- including the messages on the day of the accident -- were sealed by the courts. In a deposition she called the attorney's pursuit of whether she "knew" that Mr. Best was driving "weird". Asked why she texted in her deposition she commented, "I'm a young teenager.
That's what we do
The Kuberts both lost a leg in the crash. [Image Source: NJ.com]
A state civil court found her not guilty, as the couple provided insufficient evidence and the judge was unsure if the state statute could be extended to a person not in the car. The Kuberts and their attorney appealed, and the state appeals court heard the case.
Ultimately the appeals court clarified that people texting drivers
be held to blame. But it still let the teenage girl off the hook, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to show she knew Mr. Best was driving at the time. The court wrote:
In this appeal, we must also decide whether plaintiffs have shown sufficient evidence to defeat summary judgment in favor of the remote texter. We conclude they have not.
That ruling left the Kuberts dissatisfied; they feel that the teen texting the driver was as much to blame as the driver and they should both face serious life changing punishments, given how the pair's actions changed the injured couple's lives.
IV. Governor Christie: Court Goofed
The case is generating a backlash. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) -- never one to avoid speaking his mind -- told local radio station
New Jersey 101.5
that while justice appeared served in the suit against the driver, the suit against his girlfriend who was not in the car was ridiculous. He attacked the court ruling saying the responsibility not to drive recklessly is the driver's and no one else's.
He comments, "You have the obligation to keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel and pay attention to what you're doing."
The ruling made NJ Governor Chris Christie sick to his stomach. [Image Source: Getty Images]
a number of residents and they seemed to feel the same, arguing that the court's opinion was dangerous and made no sense. Joe Applegate told the station, "That's completely absurd, just because [the texter] know you're driving doesn't mean, it really doesn't mean they know [the driver is] looking at it."
Louise McKellip comments, "Even talking to the driver can distract them, so they are going to arrest for someone who simply talked to someone who is driving?"
But like it or not, that's the precedent in the state of New Jersey for now, until a higher court overrules the ruling. Since the plaintiffs lost the case, that case won't see a federal appeal, so it might be some time before the decision could be potentially overturned with another case. Thus for now penalties for texting a driver becomes the latest way in which the police state is looking to help protect us from ourselves.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on July 9, 2012. The Secretary held bilateral meetings with President Elbegdorj and Prime Minister Batbold, addressed the fourth meeting of the Community of Democracies Governing Council and the International Women's Leadership Forum, as well as helped launch the Leaders Engaged in New Democracies Network (LEND).
At the Community of Democracies Governing Council, Secretary Clinton said, "Advancing democracy, as all of us who are here at this Governing Council meeting know, is not only the right thing to do, but the smart thing as well. Democracies are more stable, more capable partners with vibrant open economies that can foster innovation and new ideas, and the world needs more of that. And although every country's democratic journey is unique, there are universal principles we share and that's what I think brings us together -- to support each and to help emerging democracies succeed."
Secretary Clinton then delivered remarks at the International Women's Leadership Forum. She said, said, "If there is one characteristic that every strong democracy in the world shares, it is that they are fully open to all of their citizens -- men and women -- and a democracy without the participation of women is a contradiction in terms. So whenever we talk about how to support democracy, we must be sure that women are not just a part of the discussion, but at the table to help lead that discussion, and to remain committed to helping more women worldwide gain roles in their governments, their economies, and their civil societies."
In addition, Secretary Clinton, Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, and Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet formally launched the LEND Network -- a global technology platform to support Leaders Engaged in New Democracies. The LEND Network is the CD's newest initiative, and it furthers the organization's main objective of supporting democratization around the world. Secretary Clinton said, "[W]e are very much aware that no single project can solve every problem that emerging democracies encounter, but we truly believe that if we keep working together and sharing the lessons we learn, we can help more countries make a successful transition to democracy. And that in turn, we believe, makes the world safer and more prosperous for all of us."
Secretary Clinton is on travel to France, Afghanistan, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Egypt, and Israel. You can follow her trip on www.state.gov.

The airport is situated at 10 kilometers from Saragossa, capital of Aragon's autonomous region. From the web page you can consult useful information: airport guide: access, means of transport, destinations, departures, arrivals and common questions.
Saragossa Airport
Airoport Road, s/n 50190 SaragossaTelephone: : 976 712 300Fax: 976 780 624
Saragossa has grown up during a long time and until present time as a fundamental link for peninsular railway, stating you can arrive in Zaragoza by train from practically anywhere in the Iberian Peninsula.
Saragossa counts nowadays on a new railway station: Delicias Inter-link Station, a complete center situated on a 75 hectare plot. The project also include to build a bus station, shopping and business centers and two hotels.
As well as another lines, since 2005 several trains AVE (high-speed train) does these lines:
Delicias Inter-link Station
Navarra Av., s/n ZaragozaInformation and reservation:: 902 240 202
Many routes of coaches connect Saragossa to practically all cities of Iberian Peninsula and the most important cities of European countries, including the Czech Republic or Poland, as well as Nort African countries like Marroco.
Although nowadays there are several bus stations in Saragossa, in the next year all of them will be centralized in only one: Delicias Inter-link Station. Therefore, this place of the city and the railway station will constitute a modal swap which will promote the transport in Saragossa's area.
Avda. de Navarra, s/n ZaragozaBus Companies - Destinations
Saragossa is a main point in Spanish road communications because of its motorway to Bilbao and Barcelona, the Aragón dual carriageway joining it to Madrid and the future Somport-Sagunto dual carriageway which will link Valencia to the French road network through the Aragonese Pyrenees. All these facilities offer to the city an excellent communications infrastructure.
The Sagunto-Teruel-Saragossa-Huesca-Canfranc line will be for high-speed use on the itinerary between Teruel-Saragossa-Huesca. Between Teruel and Sagunto, during early stages of the Plan of Infraestructure 200-2007 is planned its improvement in the Conventional Lines Program.
Thus, there will be a dual carriageway between Huesca-Jaca-Pamplona. The research for the dual carriageway between Jaca and Pamplona is being written and the Huesca-Lérida has already been approved.

About the Author: Susanna Connaughton is the Executive Director of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. She attended UNESCO's Youth@the Crossroads symposium, which occurred in Manama, Bahrain from June 15-17, 2008.
The foyer of the National Museum of Bahrain sparkled Sunday night for the welcome reception of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization symposium, "Youth@the Crossroads: A Future without Violent Radicalization." In the presence of His Royal Highness Sheikh Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Kahlifa, Crown Prince of Bahrain, an international crowd of about 200 people were serenaded by oud musicians (the guitar music of Bahrain) and sipped the region's beautifully colored juices – honeydew, cantaloupe, pomegranate, and lemon. Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Kalifa and UNESCO's Deputy Director-General, Marcio Barbosa, delivered opening remarks.
The conference, convened by UNESCO and hosted by the Government of Bahrain, sought to inform international leaders, policymakers, media, educators, NGO practitioners, and young people on how at-risk youth around the world are being exploited by a range of violent, extremists groups. Bringing these practitioners and stakeholders together enabled them to share best practices for deterring the success of these manipulative groups and to build partnerships for future positive alternatives.
The eclectic, dynamic mix of reception guests perfectly reflected the conveners' goal to encourage new partnerships. NGO practitioners from around the world mingled with the diplomatic corps of Manama, and the Bahraini ministers of Education, Social Development, Foreign Affairs, and Labor. As one walked through the atriumed foyer of this sea-front museum, one saw the high-energy, former Colombian President Andres Pastrana Arango, the conference's keynote speaker, giving an interview to a television crew in front of the musician's platform. A few feet away stood four, poised teenage Bahraini girls who participate in Junior Achievement, which prepares students to become choice employees for corporations and encourages entrepreneurship through partnerships with local corporations. If you had strolled further, you'd have found Nanette Minnarr, who oversees the Khulisa "Silence the Violence" program in South Africa or saw Batul Dungarwalla from the Prince's Trust, a foundation in the United Kingdom that helps develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.
The "oud" music ended, and UNESCO Assistant Deputy Director General for Strategic Planning Hans D'Orville gave remarks, by welcoming everyone, and introduced Sheikh Khalid. After the Foreign Minister's gracious welcome, Assistant Deputy Director General D'Orville introduced the conference's Chairperson, Joseph Jabbra, who is the President of the Lebanese American University. The attendance of U.S. Assistant Secretary for Education, Kerri Briggs, was acknowledged, and the United States was thanked for its support of this conference.
Following his welcome, D'Orville introduced Colombian musician César López, inventor of an instrument named "escopetarra" (a guitar made from a "decommissioned" AK-47 as a peace symbol). Sierra Leone's Steady Bongo performed next, engaging the audience with his vibrant vocals.
After the performances, guests briefly roamed the National Museum before coaches took everyone back to the hotel and conference center. Though it was late, many of the conference attendees went directly to the small exhibit hall in the conference center to set up for the Partner's Forum. The Forum was arranged in a trade show/market style, in which NGOs displayed literature, videos, PowerPoints, and shared their best practices with other attendees. During this energetic bazaar atmosphere, one hoped that partnerships would be formed, and successful ideas would be expanded and adapted around the globe. The conference continued through Tuesday afternoon. You can learn more about the conference at www.unesco.org/en/youthcrossroads.

This meeting was full of surprises! Our country couldn't assist but Susanna's report give us a great sensation!
Joe in Tennessee writes:
We all know that it has been established that societies who are permeated with violence, continue that violence as it is stamped into the ego and id as 'normal'. Even in America, youth programs in the urban/poor districts show enormous results.
Hope is the one thing that can keep us alive. To see a better world, children must first be exposed to one. That is the only way the action to change can take place from within a country. They have to know a better world does exist.
This is good stuff...
Joe in Tennessee writes:
This is the Negitive aspect of Adult Exposure:
"Just like Islamic extremism, to safeguard the country and Hindus we must create Hindu suicide squads if Hindu society is to be saved.
The inflammatory comments appeared on Wednesday in an unsigned editorial in Saamana, the official newspaper of the Shiv Sena, a regional party whose politics is based on nativist pride for the people of the state of Maharashtra."
This is NOT what the world needs at all.

|Prince EXO3 Tour 100 (16x18) Scores
One of the top players on the ATP Tour, David Ferrer, commands and demands respect on the court. His superbly consistent baseline play, his ability to turn defense into offense, and his deadly attacking groundstrokes make him a player to be feared. Don't forget that he is arguably the best serve returner in the game today. It's easy to understand why he is consistently in the top ten and was recently a semifinalist at the 2011 Australian Open.
When Ferrer hits the courts there's only one racquet he trusts to get the job done, the Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18.
What makes the EXO3 Tour 100 (16x18) so special? Well, there's the excellent ball response of the EXO3 technology. The EXO3 String Suspension Inserts suspend the string, allowing for a larger sweetspot, a consistent response, plenty of forgiveness and ample power.
Sounds impressive, right? We definitely thought so. Read on to see how pleased our testers were with the EXO3 Tour 16x18 from Prince.
The EXO3 Tour 16x18 offered a very soft, comfortable feel from the baseline. Chris found the soft feel promoted spin. He said, "I was amazed at the incredibly soft feel of this racquet from the baseline. It felt very, very flexible. The response was extremely dampened, with a major emphasis on comfort. I find flexible racquets to be spin-friendly, and that rang very true here. I was able to get a lot of topspin, and that allowed my to keep my foot on the gas and pressure my opponents. When hitting with slice I found enough bite to allow me to knife the ball deep or pull it short for an angle. It was a fun racquet to rally with, and I never felt like I had to work hard to stay in the point. I found enough power when pushed deep or wide and enough control to take a good cut at the ball when the opportunity arose. The racquet was also very maneuverable. I felt like I could always get the racquet head speed needed to do what I wanted with the ball."
Agreeing with Chris was Troy, saying, "I found this racquet to be very comfortable to hit with from the baseline. The comfort came from the fact that it felt very dampened, which is a common characteristic I find from Prince racquets with the Ports. With very little vibration, and seeming to have a ton of ball pocketing, this racquet is very arm friendly. I found this open string pattern to provide a lot of pop, almost to a fault. I was finding that my shots tended to catapult off the stringbed, reducing the control on put-away shots from the baseline. I felt like I had to overcompensate with topspin to keep my shots from landing beyond the baseline. However, I could strike with an offensive approach or put-away shot when needed by adding spin. The 100 sq. in. headsize provided a large sweetspot, which proved to be good on my arm but did not give me the response I was looking for from a control aspect."
Having to adjust to the feel was Spencer. He said, "On the first hit with this racquet I felt I struggled to get any type of feel. The stringbed felt so soft and forgiving, it seemed the ball was getting lost in the racquet. However, as I continued to play with it I began to get a better feel for the ball and enjoyed the results I was garnering. I was immediately comfortable with the weight, quickly dialing in my timing. I felt I could control the direction very well off both wings. Ironically, I felt more effective control with the open string pattern than with the EXO3 Tour 18/20. Usually, it's the other way around. Though livelier coming off the stringbed, I could take full swings at the ball, imparting plenty of spin to help to keep the ball within the lines. This seemed to put more action on the ball, making ball retrieving and timing a little more difficult for my opponent."
Though not as control oriented as the 18x20, the 16x18 offered excellent punch and maneuverability at net. Taking advantage of the large sweetspot was Troy. He said, "I was finding a nice flexible feel at the net from this stick. The ball pocketing felt really good, providing a large sweetspot. The downfall of the large sweetspot was that it didn't provide a lot of feedback. It was almost as if every shot felt good, no matter where contact was made on the stringbed. This often times lead to my volleys missing the mark. I wasn't feeling the connectedness to the ball that is a must for me when hitting volleys."
Spencer liked the put away power and stability. He said, "Much like groundstrokes, the different feel of this stick took some getting used to. Once adapted, I was more comfortable with touch and placement volleys. The punch volleys were a no-brainer. The racquet handled incoming shots with ease. It was stable and plenty maneuverable. I liked this racquet at the net when playing doubles, where I could take advantage of the livelier feel and speedy response."
Finding the maneuverability to work well for him was Chris, who said, "The very soft feel of this racquet worked well at net. I didn't feel quite as dialed in when punching the ball deep as I did with the 18x20 version of this racquet, but my control was still good. The racquet felt light and very maneuverable. There were several instances where I was able to flick a half-volley from around my feet and make a good shot. During quick doubles exchanges at the net I felt very confident that I could get this racquet into position and stick my volley with authority."
Our playtesters had mixed results when it came to serving with this racquet. Chris was happy with the extra velocity and dampened feel. He said, "I found some nice pop on serve with this one -- more so than with the 18x20 version. I found the same spin-friendly response on serve that I had from the baseline. I was able to move the ball around and pull my opponents off court (or off balance) to help me finish the point with a one-two punch. Again, I found a very, very comfortable feel from the stringbed. The racquet felt very dampened."
Troy felt the open string pattern hurt his consistency.. He said, "The overall lack of control made it hard for me to maintain consistency on my serve. I was having a hard time placing my serves, and sometimes just getting them in the service box was a struggle (Though I know it usually isn't the racquet's fault when shots are being missed). I also had a hard time controlling depth, either finding my serve hitting the top of the net or landing past the service line. I really had to force myself to hit my serve with more spin and aim higher over the net to get the serve in. At this point I wasn't thinking about placement, but rather, not double-faulting."
Spencer was surprised he couldn't generate more power, saying, "I didn't have the same success serving as I did with groundstrokes. I struggled a bit with consistency, but more so with power. With the 16x18 string pattern and 100 square inch head, I thought there would be more supplied power. Though it offered slightly more pop than the 18x20, I just couldn't seem to muster any effective velocity. If there was one serve I did enjoy hitting, it was an out wide kicker in the ad court."
The maneuverability was the shining characteristic all playtesters agreed on when returning serves. Feeling he could get aggressive on returns was Chris, who said, "I returned well with this racquet. I was taking a cut at anything that looked even remotely tasty. There was a lot of spin to be had thanks to the easy acceleration and the bite from the stringbed. I played with a full poly string set up and found no reason to change, as it felt pretty darn good."
Troy would have liked more consistency. He said, "What I found most beneficial from this racquet was the maneuverability and the added power. The maneuverability helped me get the ball back on returns where I was out of position or off balance, while the added power helped land the ball deep. When I was able to take a larger cut at the ball my returns tended to fly deep, and I couldn't control them as well as I would have liked. I also didn't find the control I rely on when having to slice the backhand return. I liked this racquet the most on returns, but I wouldn't be consistently confident in it."
Spencer had to be careful about being tempted to go for too much, saying, "I was very comfortable when returning with the EXO3 Tour 16x18. The stability and forgiveness handled pace well, and when opportunities came, I felt I could generate some good penetrating returns, allowing me to go on the offensive. That being the case, I had to be careful not to go for too much, too often. That whole risk/reward thing, and all. I preferred returning with the 18x20 string pattern, as it seemed to provide more consistency."
The EXO3 Tour 16x18 offered excellent performance with a unique feel. The suspended stringbed and expansive sweetspot provided a non-traditional type of feedback that some may mistake for a lack of feel. Over the course of the playtest our testers adapted to that unique feel and learned to trust the results this stick would muster. There was a noticeable difference compared to the 18x20 version when it came to spin and liveliness, working better for some, and not as well for others. Those that were looking for some added pop and ball action found it with this one, while those seeking a more tempered response found it in the 18x20 version. All in all, the EXO3 Tour 16x18 offered a very impressive balance of attributes, proving effective from all areas of the court.
Chris - "I liked the spin, maneuverability and comfort, and the blend of power and control."
Troy - "Comfortable feel and arm-friendly from the baseline."
Spencer - "The control and comfort I felt from the baseline."
Chris - "Nothing really, except I might prefer the 18x20 version over this one. I'm not 100 percent sure yet, so I'm going to hit both a lot more to find out!"
Troy - "Lack of control from all areas of the court."
Spencer - "Adapting to the unique feel of this racquet took time."
