Let it be the expression of every Telangana person. Let the chants of Jai Telangana be heard in the entire country, let the chain be seen from the Moon, let the whole world watch it on their TV, not because it is a world record, but because it is the greatest show of strength of people who are looking for freedom and expression within the legal confines of Indian Constitution, through peaceful, non-violent method.

Why Telangana Human Chain?
Let it be the expression of every Telangana person. Let the chants of Jai Telangana be heard in the entire country, let the chain be seen from the Moon, let the whole world watch it on their TV, not because it is a world record, but because it is the greatest show of strength of people who are looking for freedom and expression within the legal confines of Indian Constitution, through peaceful, non-violent method.

As I expressed yesterday that one of my friend hails from Andhra, simply ruled out our movement that it is dying fast, and what ever the movement was there is only a naxals movement. He do not want to recognize our movement as a peoples movement.ReplyDelete
I am surprised to here from him because he reads the news papers without leaving a section, but still he thinks that it is not coming from people. I don't mind if some one do not like Saperate Telangana but I hate to hear that it is not a peoples movement and only small section of people want Saperate State, lets do it and tell the world that this is People's movement and we all want Saperate Telangana State.
Jai Telangana.... Jai Jai Telangana.
Thanks for your efforts Sujai.

I am surprised that you even have have friends, let alone friends from Coastal area.ReplyDelete
Our fight is with our Govt. but not with every individual who hails from Andhra.ReplyDelete
Yes I have many friends from Andhra, we share same cup of tea and we debate about Telangana Vs. Andhra but we never cross our limits to blame in personal level.
I feel funny in the debate because they do not know what to talk when I strongly asked them to talk about only Telangana without talking about KCR/TRS. They are still in the impression that Telangana=KCR/TRS. But they do not understand a simple logic that 'KCR is for Telangana' and 'Telangana is not for KCR'.
Green Star:ReplyDelete
Its not just Andhras who refused to believe it is a people's movement. Many people that I have spoken to including people from North India, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, etc, have expressed the same.
That it is a KCR-led movement only because he lost last elections, that it is dangerous movement because of Naxalites. That it is an anti-India movement and so on.
Don't get bothered by it. During the height of Independence Movement most of British thought that our movement was a whole charade of few elite Congressmen whose only interest is to take over power from British.
Indians thought otherwise.
We, Telanganas, think otherwise.

Our mega star needs history social class lessons. He doesn't even know the difference between 'a country' and 'a state'.
After our Manavaharam, I am sure he will surprisingly gives a statement like 'I am surprised to see over one crore of naxals making world record manavaharam in Telangana'. hehehe
I will put my all efforts to spread the message.....let us show our strength to the world.ReplyDelete

Yeah, the biggest disappointment for me was when someone told me they thought Lagadapati was fighting for Telangana and one of the politicians leading the political movement! Of course these are non-Telugus I met on my current business visit away from India, but still, OMG, how can we own up Lagadapati!!!ReplyDelete
Whatever be the case, we need an event that makes a big statement, big enough to wash away all the misconceptions! Thanks for this great initiative Sujai - wish I could help with the design of that site, will let you know if I can come up with something!

I am married to a person who is born in andhra and brought and up and settled in hyderabad and we support separate telangana.
Y'day late afternoon on a personal work I went to Sanga Reddy (from Hyd), @ BHEL came across two tents with group of 40-50 to people doing relay hunger strikes, then another group of 40 people @ Patancheruvu and Muntangi, finally in Sanga Reddy near Natraj Theater (New Bus Stn Rd) group of 50 to 60 people and right next to it another group of 100-125 students listening to speaker on TG History/Merger etc.ReplyDelete
I was there only for an hour, came across a campaign for some TG garjana in Sanga Reddy, collector office premises is filled with mini demonstration like bonnalu, pothu raju etc…, they put long red tikka on my forehead…I was greeted by attendant with Jai Telangana !!!
Entire 2 KM road stretch looks like a festive mood, when enquired they said it's like this is everyday…man quite a vibration.
On return in evening I noticed group size increased to around 200-300 at each tent with more fierce speakers…there is saying or someone said to know India you need to see/visit it Villages…same holds good for the Telangana movement…
Great idea Sujai. I like the telangana human chain website. I will do my every bit to make this event a huge success. Did you also contact Prof. Kondandaram and the all the telangana JAC's. I think we need to raise some funds and give ads in major news papers (especially in the district editions with the nearest route map and phone numbers of the coordinators) to publicize this event. Also we should encourage people who dont live near the route map to form human chains in their respective villages and towns on Feb 21st. We should make efforts to get national media to cover this event.ReplyDelete
I belive you already contacted the Guinnes Record committe. If not we need to register for the event.
Some of my friends are ready to organise in their distrcts which is part of NH7. Could you contact me through my email ?
Sujai, please publish this article in pro telangana websites.ReplyDelete
- PraveenJanuary 29, 2010 12:16 AM
Have you done any analysis on how much money is needed to conduct such a chain. If so, you should publish that as the target amount to be raised on the humanchain website, and track the progress. We should start collecting donations ASAP, as we have only a couple of weeks to go.
Sujai, can you follow up with another article on the telangana human chain explaining your thoughts on the below questions and also questions raised by some other members.ReplyDelete
1. How to count the number of people participated in the human chain. I think atleast an approximate count is required here since we are planning this chain as an alternative to the referundum.
2. Any plans to invite the external independent agents to verify the count. In the absence of a reputed external independent agents the detractors of telangana movement may not beleive the number that we give them.
3. Is 15 minutes enough time for the media to capture the entire human chain. Noticing that the human chain is spread across the entire telangana does the electronic media have enough units to cover this event in 15 minutes ?
Also looking at the massive coordination that is required may be this event should be extended to 30 mins.
@ 14, Vamshi:ReplyDelete
Sujai, can you follow up with another article on the telangana human chain explaining your thoughts…
I intend to do that. I will be in Hyderabad starting this Sunday. I will get a better picture from those who have organized many events already. Once we finalize I will give those details.
Approaching international media and even the Guinness/Other agencies is being considered. The most important thing right now is to get endorsement from all parties, organizations to support and participate in this event.
An approximate count is possible. Actual count will be tough to manage.
The chain will start forming right from the morning. It will take time to mobilize. 15 minutes is more like culmination, not actual chain formation period. The media cannot cover the entire Telangana anyway. But it is will not be to hard to judge if you just take a car or motorbike and keep traveling on the road to see how many people have turned out.
Again, I will give the details out only after I meet the people on the ground who have been in the agitations for quite some time.
Great post Sujai! Strangely this idea is being put forth and gaining momentum from all sides. This is very timely. Both Political JAC and student JAC are embracing this. Most importantly people are willing to participate in any mass display for achieving Telangana. This will be a Grand success since it is being embraced by the right people.ReplyDelete
I am not from Telangana or Andhra, but I feel proud of you! What you are trying to do is a huge thing, and I wish you all success in this endeavour.
Please let us know place where it starts, When and how much gathering your are expecting.ReplyDelete
Wish u all success.
Jai Telangana!

that does not prove that the masses want telangana. Many students in OU want to study. but can they? when the union leader asks them to come out of class can they sit there?ReplyDelete
in the villages if one leader asks the people to join a gathering no one wants to be singled out. so they all join.
in my village many of us are not in support of a separate state but we are forced to keep quiet. only a secret vote will bring out the truth.

re: Metrics on the human chain.ReplyDelete
I am very neutral on Telangana. Am not a Telugu and dont have the background.
But to toss it out, can some parameters be set?
I saw Sujai ask for abt 1 crore ppl to take part in the chain, convincing everybody of the strength of feeling on this issue. Lets take that as a "win".
Assuming that's okay, can the presence of say 20lacs or less be considered a "lose"?
ie. maybe almost every Telangani has some grouse but not enough ppl of Telangana care enough about it to separate.
If one crore is too high a different number X can be proposed.
What I am getting at is, if X is a win, can X/5 or less be considered a loss.
Thanks for any response.
- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2010 4:22 PM
Just saw comment #19 after posting my comment #20 on metrics.ReplyDelete
I am confident that Sujai and other pro-Telangana posters here are deeply committed to peaceful and democratic methods. No such fear-mongering should be allowed to drag ppl out to support any chain.
Equally, opponents of Telangana should step forward to prevent anybody from threatening or committing violence against the chain.
Sujai, you could actually co-ordinate these with somebody representing the anti-Telangana sentiment. Get both sides to set and follow these ground rules.
After the chain event, nobody bickers about threats and stuff.
How about it?
Are there any anti-Telangana team in Telangana? I do not think so. If it is there, it could be very very small. And if they do not raise there voice now then as this blog motto, hottest places in the hell will be reserved for them.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, don't worry, there are no anti-Telangana team right now in Telangana, may be few individuals talked about that for there political gains, but I see there are few pro-Jai Andhra teams in Andhra area, are these Samaykandra people working with them instead of kicking them?
How to send contributions the expenses incurred so that this doesn't become a financial burden for you? We want to keep this going.ReplyDelete

Here is a blogger I found, rejecting the claim that about 50,000 people were arrested during the 1969 agitations.ReplyDelete
Here is some food for thought:
She assumes that if 50,000 people were arrested, they should ALL be arrested on the same day at the same time ... and, since the capacity of Andhra jails is not that high, the number of arrested must be lower.
Her argument is based on the false assumptions that:
3. ALL ARRESTED MUST HAVE REGISTERED FIR's.. ELSE, WE WILL DISMISS AWAY THE ARRESTS AS NON-OCCURRENCE... duh!!! which country does she belong to???
4. SHE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR MORE DATA/INFO ON THE 50000 ARRESTS IN 1969 AND SHE FOUND NO INFO EXCEPT SUJAI'S BLOG...duh!!!
Is she thinking that ALL HISTORICAL FACTS OF TELANGANA AND THE OLD-HYDERABAD-STATE are readily available for her on the internet????.... Or... is she thinking that Internet is the right and "trustworthy" source of all historical facts?
If M.K.Gandhi's book mentions a particular agitation by some indigo workers and it is not available on the internet, will she dismiss it away saying:
1. There are no google results on the search.
2. The indigo-farmers-agitation could not have been crushed because there were no big jails built by the british in those villages.
She needs some basic logic lessons before she asks for the "statwallahs" on her site.
Telangana Bidda:ReplyDelete
We don't have to answer every detractor unless they pose a credible argument.
This lady is relying on Google Search. She doesn't realize that most of the news before 1990s does not appear online.
Also during 1969 agitation there was complete media blackout. The media did not report events the way they do it now. They actually pretended as if nothing ever happened. The state controlled TV and Radio did not say much.
Actually the estimates suggest more than 70,000 were arrested. Many of those that were held were put up in makeshift jails - colleges and schools were turned into jails. For example, Kakatiya Medical College and REC in Warangal were used as jails.
During my stay in US, when I told an American lady that we don't get certain things in India, she said, 'why not? Why can't you go to WalMart and buy it?'
Some of us tend to believe the world is same everywhere and at all times.
Many people of current generation do not know how it was when there was no TV or Mobile Phone. They can't understand that world, and hence they believe such a world never existed.
This lady seems to look at 1969 from the yard stick of present generation. She is naive. Do not take pains to explain - its not worth it.
We will see long waited happiest moment ever in the world soon by formation of Telangana. It has been the people interest for long long time and it will come true soon.ReplyDelete

If friends from Andhra says it is not a people's movement, better not to argue with them and dont waste valuable time explaining facts. It is better explain the samething to friends from telangna if somebody say why do we need telangana.ReplyDelete
Andhra People's got used to exploitation of resources and they talk like that. They could not digest the sustainability of this movement for this long and it would be there until Telangana if formed.

I gave adequate stats to that person who was questionning sujai's assertions.
You can check them and add more.
TX for bringing to our attention
I was just going through this book titled, "Regionalism in India- case of telangana"
on google books.
When I look at some chapters which give a detailed history on a day to day basis on poltiics played before mid-term elections I feel like today history is repeating it self. I think telangana people should be ready to counter something that might put the entire issue in cold case.
T_bidda.. that 'impeccable' logic must be from none other than our Fifth element.ReplyDelete
An article purported to be written by Mr P Chidambaram in 2003 is here. He appears to be in favour of smaller states personally.. I think we're justified in having hopes....ReplyDelete

A Ravenswood man faces charges of operating a clandestine meth lab after his arrest Friday night.
A Ravenswood man faces charges of operating a clandestine meth lab after his arrest Friday night.
In an ongoing investigation, Ravenswood Police officers were able to shut down a meth lab at 216 Dye Street around 9 p.m. Friday On the scene, the officers spoke with Shane Eades, 34, and gained permission from Eades to search the residence.
Inside, they discovered a clandestine meth lab in a back bedroom. The officers were able to recover final product as well as paraphernalia.
Eades was arrested for allegedly operating a meth lab in his home with intentions to sell finished meth.
Eads was lodged in the South Central Regional Jail. He was arraigned on the charge and bond was set at $150,000.
The residence was secured until a hazmat crew could decontaminate the house.
Ravenswood Police Chief Lance Morrison stated, "As I have always said, I'm extremely proud of my men. They have made it a personal agenda to go after the drug dealers in this town. If you are a drug dealer and think for one second that my men don't know about it or don't know who you are, you are sadly mistaken. The best thing you can do is get out. You are not welcome here and we are coming after you."

On June 1, 2009, Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed several hundred miles off the northeastern coast of Brazil and landed deep in the ocean on some of the most rugged seafloor terrain on Earth.
On April 4, 2011, a search team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) located the wreckage of the Airbus jet some 3,900 meters (nearly 2.5 miles) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
Only after locating the airplane's flight data and cockpit voice recorders and analyzing the wreckage itself could investigators with the French Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) sufficiently answer questions related to the cause of the crash and help avoid a similar disaster in the future.

GGji needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 27 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We are starting a wellness cafe in the famous Bondi Beach in Australia. Our cafe will be a place where people come to socialise, eat delicious food and enjoy the casual, playful, spiritual atmosphere. It will look like a lived in rustic Indian cafe. Our atmosphere will be homely and welcoming. We need the logo to reflect all that. Good Luck!
Our audience as primarily 20-35 year olds who don't take life too seriously but are spiritual and conscious about healthy food and wholistic ways of living. They will come because we are offering a different eating and social experience.
Our logo needs to contain 'CHAI WALLAH'.
A chai wallah is the title given to someone that makes tea- much like a barista or coffee maker in Italy. Therefore we were thinking the logo should contain the story of a chai wallah- I have attached specific references. The words CHAI can contain a story many quirky images together to form the letters- tea, boy laughing, mountain, rikshaw, other quirky things like the images. The Wallah part can be normal type but stylised to work with the Chai.

Our Fitness Blog
How to Keep It Real During Your Workout
Many of us start our fitness routines out with unreal expectations. We may not know our limits, try to achieve results too soon or want to achieve perfection. This false sense of having to be perfect can end up being very harmful. We need to stop seeking perfection and realize that our fitness routine is about being a healthier version of ourselves. In order to remain happy with our body image and our fitness routines we need to focus on being the best that we can be and not being what we or others may view as perfect.
Set realistic goals
Many of us think that it is easy to set goals; however, once it comes time to decide on a realistic goal we find out that it may be harder than we thought. We want to set a goal that is achievable. It can not be too easy or too hard to reach. If it is too easy you may find yourself becoming bored with your workout and in the end, quitting. If your goals are too hard, you may become frustrated and feel as if all of your hard work is for nothing, and just like before, you will probably end up quitting your fitness routine. So, you need to set a goal with a proper time limit and a realistic outcome. This may take a while to perfect, but do not rush yourself or judge yourself too harshly in the beginning. Remember it will take some time to see the results that you want, so keep pushing yourself and do not give up.
Work at your own pace
Today's fitness trend is to push yourself as hard as you can in short bursts; however, you have to be extremely careful when practicing this intense form of exercise. You do not want to push yourself too far past your limits too quickly. Also when we first start a fitness routine we need to take it slowly to learn the correct ways to perform each movement, and when most of us workout too hard or too fast we tend to lose sight of our posture and the proper form needed to safely perform our fitness routine. You can easily slip up and injure yourself this way, which will cause an early and unplanned end to your fitness routine. You need to work at your own pace and learn your body's signals, and when your body tells you to slow down you should listen, if you want to avoid any unnecessary injuries. That's why at 9round we offer a certified trainer at no additional charge every workout.
It can be hard starting a fitness routine and not knowing what you should expect. Many of us do have unrealistic expectations but do not know it. The hard part is learning our body's signals and trying to determine just how far and how fast we can push ourselves without causing ourselves an unnecessary injury. However, we need to let go of our ideas about achieving perfection in just a few days after starting our fitness routine and realize that our fitness routine is about making ourselves feel better and achieving a healthier body.

A bag of spinach, a carton of eggs and a package of bacon, what to do, what to do?? It's sounding like my Italian ancestors version of an omelet is about to happen! Yes, if you were wondering what exactly a frittata was or what the difference between a frittata and quiche were, you are not alone! So in the simplest terms: a quiche has a crust (usually) and more liquid than egg, where as a frittata has more egg than liquid and no crust, there it is!
So whether you just learned your fun fact of the day or not, you're about to dive into a delicious recipe for this Italian crust-less egg dish!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 6 slices bacon
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 red pepper
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 oz goat cheese
- 1 avocado
Start by frying up the bacon.
Don't mind those extra couple slices of bacon. Those are for…. someone 😉 Fry until crispy then drain the grease, crumble and mix together with the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Next, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan and add the onion and red bell pepper.
Sauté for 2-3 minutes then add spinach and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
I know that looks like a LOT of spinach, but I promise it will cook down!
See, I promised 🙂
Next, add in the egg and bacon mixture.
Let cook for 2 minutes then crumble the goat cheese on top.
These chunks of goat cheese add an amazing creamy surprise in the middle of the Frittata! Now cook on the stove for 5 minutes, then move into the oven to finish cooking at 400° for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and voila!
I sliced the Frittata into pieces, topped with avocado and served with homemade rosemary focaccia bread!
Click here for printer-friendly version: Spinach, Goat Cheese and Bacon Frittata
♣ Vegetarian Option: Omit the bacon.
♦ Gluten Free Option: Omit the rosemary focaccia bread.

Michigan-based utility Consumers Energy has signed a contract with GE to supply 62 1.7-MW wind turbines for the Cross Winds Energy Park. Located in Tuscola County, Cross Winds will become the utility's second wind farm, joining the 100 MW Lake Winds Energy Park in Mason County.
The GE contract is contingent upon approval by the Michigan Public Service Commission, obtaining a special use permit from Columbia and Akron townships in Tuscola County, and executing an interconnect agreement with the Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc. and International Transmission Co.
Consumers Energy says that the wind project will help the utility meet Michigan's 10% by 2015 renewable portfolio standard, and the company is actively working to qualify for the federal production tax credit for wind projects in order to reduce the cost of Cross Winds.
'Providing renewable energy to Michigan is part of our promise to provide low-cost, reliable and environmentally responsible energy for our customers. The state's energy reform law provides the legislative direction to make this happen," says Jack Hanson, senior vice president of energy resources for Consumers Energy.
Following regulatory approvals, the utility says it expects the Cross Winds Energy Park to be operational in late 2014.

Nokia is happy with its progress. That's the message CEO Stephen Elop kept coming back to at Mobile World Congress today. He may have good reason to be proud, too. For the first time in a long time, Nokia seems like an exciting company to keep an eye on. One year ago, it seemed a lost cause, with a floundering smartphone business and virtually no presence in the North American market. Today, things are looking up, thanks to Nokia's bold switch to Windows Phone and focused line-up of new 'Lumia' smartphones and targeted 'Asha' Symbian feature phones. To celebrate, the Lumia 610 was unveiled and as well as a crazy new Symbian phone with a 41MP camera — yep, 41. Our rundown of new announcements is below.
808 PureView: Though it's running Symbian, this phone is supposedly capable of taking 41MP pictures and recording/playing high fidelity Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The 5.1 audio is piped through the HDMI port on the phone (not through the stereo headphone jack). Nokia also spent time talking about the software behind the PureView technology. We still need to get some hands-on and have quite a few questions, but the pictures taken by the PureView are indeed impressive. Hopefully we will be able to learn more on how Nokia is able to accomplish this feat in the coming days. Seeing as the Nokia 808 is a Symbian device, and not WP7, we are assuming it will not be available in the US, but it is expected to be released in May for those of you who are addicted to the aging operating system. Elop made a point to say that the technology in the PureView will "live on" in future Nokia devices. We can't wait.
Lumia 610: The Windows Phone news was less impressive, but still noteworthy. Microsoft finally announced its long-rumored 'Tango' update, which lowers the minimum specs for WP7 devices to 256MB of RAM as well as some slower processors. The new version will go live with the release of the Lumia 610 around April, and will serve as a new low-end to the Lumia series, which is currently comprised of the Lumia 710, Lumia 800, and Lumia 900. In our experience, the phone was fairly snappy, though it appears that some graphically intensive apps and games will not be available for these slower handsets.
Asha 202, Asha 203, Asha 302: Three new Symbian Asha phones were announced as well. These devices likely won't hit American shelves, but they represent an important market for Nokia: budget phones. All three devices are priced at $130 or less (and that's without any two-year wireless contract) and appear to be a few years old to our smartphone-hungry eyes. The 202 and 203 are variants on the same model, now with touchscreen and multi-sim support. The 302 is loaded with a full QWERTY and is built with social networking and browsing in mind. It's a bit more high-end than the 200 series.
New Nokia apps: Touting the success of its Windows Phones, Nokia today revealed that 65,000 apps are available on the Windows Phone Marketplace and some new exclusive apps will be coming to its handsets. Nokia Transport is a public transit navigation app for buses, subways, and the like, which supports more than 500 cities in 46 countries. Nokia Reader is a book store and reading app, and Nokia Newstream is a news aggregation app, which appears to lightly restyle content like Flipboard. A beta for Skype is also now available on the Marketplace, even for non-Nokia devices.
China and Canada: Thanks to firmware updates that will allow its Windows Phones devices to run on more spectrum bands and some strategic partnerships, Nokia will soon be breaking into both China and Canada with the Lumia brand. Specifically, Canadians can expect the flagship Lumia 900 to appear on Rogers soon, at 4G LTE speeds.
In the coming days, we'll bring you hands-on pictures and impressions of both the Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 610.

endeavour needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 204 designs submitted by 47 freelance designers.
Endeavour Capital
Endeavour Capital (http://www.endeavourcapital.com.au) is an independent Australian corporate advisory firm, focussing exclusively on smaller and mid market companies. Endeavour's services include:
Arranging capital
Business sales and acquisitions
Litigation support
Managing Initial Public Offerings
We call ourselves corporate advisers rather than business brokers as we tend to operate in slightly larger companies than traditional business brokers (who mostly sell businesses up to say $1M in value) we tend to operate in the $1-$20M range. We are also not volume driven only doing a small number of transactions a year.
Our competition is other boutique corporate advisory firms and indirect competition is the big four accounting firms and investment banks
Our current logo is over ten years old and has some brand value - See logo on our web site http://www.endeavourcapital.com.au
• Update logo image to convey – professional, innovative, responsive, results oriented, mid market (not corner shop or major international)
• Current expectations are that a new logo would be an evolution not a revolution, but open to suggestions
Depending on how things go with this design task, we would probably update web site, stationery, power point template & brochures with consistent theme
CEOs of lower mid market companies (10-200 employees)
Other advisers to those companies (lawyers, accountants)

PTC partners with Accenture to transform product development for global CPG manufacturer
In the competitive market of consumer products, this manufacturer faced pressure to accelerate new-product introductions. The company chose PTC Windchill as its global PLM system to enable quicker, more reliable product design. After investing millions of dollars and 18 months in a systems integration, the Windchill system was still on the shelf. The company enlisted PTC Global Services and Accenture, who delivered Windchill by creating clear roles and scheduling frequent divisional deployments for quick time to value.
- Product design slowed by disparate PLM systems, lack of collaboration
- Faster product development hindered by lack of global design system and processes
- Over 18 months, the initial SI tasked with deploying Windchill PLM had delivered minimal software into production, creating an unacceptable delay in business value
PTC and Accenture value:
- Shared history of delivering global PLM projects that create business value at every stage
- Transparent, disciplined, and results-driven project management
- Dedication to long-term business transformation while creating incremental business value through frequent software rollouts
Business Benefits:
- Enhanced global collaboration throughout the product lifecycle
- Increased reuse of designs, parts, materials, suppliers, etc
- Increased engineering productivity and supplier collaboration
- Improved time to market for new products

A Doppler ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to examine parts of the body. It looks at the motion of fluids in the blood vessels.

Doppler ultrasound is used to:
In most cases, there are no complications with this test.
Your doctor may do the following:
In some cases your doctor may instruct you to:
You will lie on a table. Your doctor will put a gel on the skin over the area that will be examined. The gel helps the sound waves travel between the machine and your body.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer. It looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your internal organs and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are changed into images that are shown on a screen. The doctor examines the images on the screen. Photographs of the images may be taken.
You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath during the exam.
The gel will be cleaned from your body. You will be able to return to normal activities in most cases.
About 30 minutes to 1 hour
A radiologist will examine the images after the test. Your doctor will let you know the results and talk to you about treatment.
After the test, call your doctor if symptoms become worse.
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Marian McPartland
Jazz legend Marian McPartland continues to showcase the world's top musicians on NPR's longest-running and most widely carried jazz program, Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz.
Born Margaret Marian Turner in 1918 in Windsor, England, Marian began to teach herself Chopin waltzes on the piano by ear when she was only three years old. She later pursued classical training at London's Guildhall School of Music before joining a four-piano vaudeville act, traveling throughout Europe during World War II to entertain the Allied troops.
While on tour in Belgium, she met and began to perform with her future husband, famed Chicago cornetist Jimmy McPartland. In the U.S. after the war, McPartland performed for a brief time with her husband's Dixieland quintet. But she heard the call of bebop and began to head in other musical directions.
McPartland formed her own trio and landed a two-week stint at the renowned Hickory House in New York City. With her ability to gently shepherd a poignant ballad, to swing with real power, and to stay ahead of new developments in jazz, McPartland turned those two weeks at the Hickory House into an eight-year residency. It became a gathering place for jazz colleagues such as Oscar Peterson, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington.
After recording for several existing labels — including over 50 albums with Concord — McPartland founded her own imprint, Halcyon Records. Artists who have recorded on the Halcyon label include pianists Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, and Dave McKenna. McPartland's composing has not escaped notice either, and her material has been recorded by Tony Bennett and Peggy Lee, among others.
The long list of honors bestowed upon McPartland and the show include, a George Foster Peabody Award, the Gracie Allen Award given by American Women in Radio and Television, the National Music Council's American Eagle Award, and a Grammy Trustee's Award for lifetime achievement. After nearly 28 years as host of Piano Jazz, Marian will be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in late 2007. She has received honorary degrees from Hamilton, Union, and Bates Colleges, Bowling Green University, and the University of South Carolina.
Her books include The Artistry of Marian McPartland, a collection of transcriptions released by Columbia Pictures Publications, and Marian McPartland's Jazz World: All in Good Time, a collection of McPartland's jazz profiles published by the University of Illinois Press.

Q: In April, I canceled a paid AOL subscription by phone, but opted to continue using the free version of AOL e-mail for another six months. In October, I tried to go through my old saved e-mail messages to find any attached photos, and discovered that the old e-mails were gone.
The person at AOL never told me that my old e-mails wouldn't be saved. I called AOL back, and was rudely told that for $9.99 for one month they would give me instructions on how to obtain my old e-mails. They also wanted my credit card information.
I feel like they are holding my old e-mail hostage. Is there any other way to retrieve my old e-mail messages?
Jan Thompson, Richfield
A: Before you pay AOL to recover your old e-mail messages, try a workaround method (step 5 at tinyurl.com/n4x8ywx). The workaround should transfer the e-mail, settings and contacts from your old for-pay AOL e-mail account to your new free AOL e-mail account.
Besides not telling you on the phone that your old messages would disappear, AOL also makes no effort to tell you on its cancel-your-paid-account website (tinyurl.com/kzjdrr8), which says you'll no longer have access to certain unspecified e-mail features if you cancel. (The only specific warning is that you'll lose access to your address book.)
Whether you get your old e-mails back or not, you should find a new free e-mail provider. I suggest Google's Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
Q: The spelling correction in my Windows 8 browser, Internet Explorer 10, worked for both of the Windows 8 interfaces (Metro tiles and traditional desktop). But now it's quit working for the desktop. Any suggestions?
Bill Boatright, Jacksonville, Fla.
A: First, reboot your computer to see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't, you can try some Internet Explorer 10 adjustments using directions at tinyurl.com/qfuljz3 or tinyurl.com/ox2xmkx. Or just use another Windows 8 browser such as Google Chrome (tinyurl.com/9ccbkzr) or Mozilla Firefox (tinyurl.com/cxvxuff). Both have a spell-checker.
Q: I would like to uninstall the "Delta Search" program on my Windows XP laptop PC, but I can't find a way to do it. Any suggestions?
John Widvey, Worthington, Minn.
A: Delta Search is a malware program that piggybacks on other free downloads, such as DJ music-mixing software. It can replace your browser home page, install itself as your default search engine, insert its own ads in your search results and keep track of the search terms you use. To get rid of Delta Search, see tinyurl.com/bqmvdhn. The process uses the free anti-malware programs AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes and HitmanPro, all of which I've used and can vouch for.

Nine of the district's 12 public schools will see a new principal or vice principal for the 2012-2013 school year. The district will also be without an assistant superintendent.
Assistant superintendent Gina Tovine has left the county to take a similar job in Orange County schools. Because of a stretched budget, the district doesn't plan to fill the position for the immediate future.
"We're asking schools to make cuts so we have to do the same thing," said Director of Administration Jeff Edison.

Recently we saw the upcoming 41MP Nokia Lumia 'EOS' (don't worry, that's just its codename) appear in black, metal and even white. We of course revealed that the phone would also come in yellow, especially for AT&T where the device goes by the codename 'Elvis'.
Earlier yesterday, Nokia teased the monster camera-phone on their Conversations blog by noting there are "41 million reasons" to tune in on July 11th, when the phone is expected to be revealed in New York City for the press.
Interestingly, a lot of those teaser images from Nokia themselves were in yellow, something which we noticed as that color has become representative of Nokia's brand of Windows Phones.
Now, a new image that is similar to the recently revealed white polycarbonate version shows the same frame but in Nokia's iconic yellow color, solidifying our reporting that indeed the phone will come in that bright and happy color as well.
While we can't speak for everyone, we know when this phone does finally go on sale, yellow will be our choice. What about yours?

Annual event to include carnival and Saltdogs game
Mayor Don Wesely announced today that the City's annual Fourth of July Celebration will move to Oak Lake Park, 1st and Cornhusker Highway, and will feature two new attractions - a carnival and an evening Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game. Holmes Lake, which has been the site of the Celebration since 1968, is not available because of the ongoing Holmes Lake Watershed Management Restoration Project. Lincoln's official day-long Independence Day celebration will again be co-sponsored by the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Jaycees.
"Independence Day is an opportunity for all Americans to demonstrate and celebrate our freedom and patriotism," said Mayor Wesely. "The City of Lincoln is excited to once again be teaming up with the Lincoln Jaycees and working with the Lincoln Saltdogs to provide area residents and visitors with a fresh, new way of celebrating our nation's birthday in our great city. We're excited about showcasing Oak Lake Park and our beautiful new Haymarket Park on this important day."
The day begins with a fun run at 7:30 a.m. Oak Lake Park will be the site of the carnival complete with rides and other attractions to be coordinated and produced by Rainbow Amusements. Other activities at the park will include a pancake feed, kids fishing adventure, classic car show, dunking booth, craft show, youth baseball competition and concessions. The Saltdogs will host the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks beginning at 6:05 p.m. The spectacular fireworks display will begin about 10 p.m.
"We're thrilled to be able to showcase our team and great facilities during our City's annual 4th of July celebration," said Charlie Meyer, President of the Lincoln Saltdogs. "Baseball is America's game, and we're excited about being part of the Independence Day festivities in Lincoln."
StarTran will provide shuttle service to and from Oak Lake Park. The schedule and pick-up and drop-off points will be announced in June. Parking information and other details will be announced later this spring.

The cult classic, platforming adventure known as Another World will be given new life when it comes to PlayStation 4.
A post on the PlayStation Blog features some words from The Digital Lounge's CEO, Abrial Dacosta, concerning the release of Another World on PlayStation's next-gen platform. In the post, there's an interview with Erich Chahi and Martial Hesse-Dreville, the two developers responsible for bringing the game to PlayStation 4.
According to Martial, this version will deliver a full HD experience, is rendered at a higher-than-displayed resolution to "enable clean anti-aliased polygon edges" and will pack a crisper visual aesthetic, as well as smoother animations. It'll also support cross-buy, cross platform trophies and cross save features to help entice PlayStation owners.
The game will be available on June 25 for anyone looking for an updated blast from the past.

After a short stint with The Byrds and his time with The Flying Burrito Brothers, he created a blend of rock and country music that he called "American Cosmic Music." He made two solo records in the early 70's with his singing partner Emmylou Harris. "GP" was loved by critics, but failed to break into the mainstream. Parsons died of a drug overdose in 1973 at the age of 26 at the Joshua Tree Inn. Tweet

John C. Breckinridge, in full John Cabell Breckinridge, (born January 21, 1821, near Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.—died May 17, 1875, Lexington), 14th vice president of the United States (1857–61), unsuccessful presidential candidate of Southern Democrats (November 1860), and Confederate officer during the American Civil War (1861–65).
Descended from an old Kentucky family distinguished in law and politics, Breckinridge was the only son of Joseph Cabell Breckinridge and Mary Clay Smith. Graduating from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, he studied law at Princeton University and Transylvania University. He became an attorney and began his political career in 1849 as a member of the state legislature. In 1851 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. During this troubled antebellum period, he established his reputation as a faithful Democrat, and, when his party nominated James Buchanan of Pennsylvania for president in 1856, Breckinridge was a natural choice to balance the ticket between North and South. Once in office, however, Buchanan and Breckinridge—at age 36 the youngest vice president in American history—were unable to fend off the sectional conflict.
Challenged by the newly formed Republican Party, which resisted extension of slavery into the territories, the Democratic Party broke apart at its national convention in the summer of 1860. The Northern wing nominated Stephen A. Douglas on a platform favouring the doctrine of popular sovereignty, whereby the people of each territory would decide whether to allow slavery within their region's boundaries, while the Southerners chose Breckinridge on a separate ticket demanding federal intervention to protect slave holdings. Breckinridge insisted that he was not anti-Union but held that slavery could not be banned in a territory until it had become a state. Defeated in the November election by Republican Abraham Lincoln, Breckinridge succeeded John J. Crittenden as United States senator from Kentucky in March 1861 but resigned later that year. He worked for accommodation and compromise, but after Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter, South Carolina (April 12), in the first engagement of the American Civil War, he maintained that the Union no longer existed and urged Kentucky to feel free to secede (it temporarily remained neutral).
His formal expulsion from the Senate in December was a meaningless gesture because he had already been commissioned a brigadier general in the Confederate army in November. After the Battle of Shiloh (April 6–7, 1862), in which he commanded the reserve, he was promoted to the rank of major general and thereafter took part in many campaigns, including Vicksburg (June 1863), the Wilderness (May 1864), and Shenandoah Valley (1864–65). In the final months of the war, Breckinridge served as Confederate secretary of war, and at the end of the hostilities he fled to England. After a self-imposed exile of three years, he returned to resume his law practice in Lexington, where he died seven years later.

Give Me Liberty
Do You Miss Our Constitution?
No previous American law has been as subversive as the Military Commissions Act of 2006
by Nat Hentoff
"We cannot allow this [Military Commissions] Act to stand. It violates some of the most basic principles upon which human rights are founded. And we must not rest until it is no longer the law of the land in our country. "
– Amnesty International, February 2007
Ours is the oldest constitution in the world, and for more than 200 years it has survived many grave assaults from one or more of our three branches of government. For example, in 1798, only seven years after the First Amendment was included in the Constitution, Americans, under the Alien and Sedition Acts, were put in prison for holding the president up to ridicule.
The Bush administration has cumulatively done more profound damage to our founding document than any previous administration. And because the president has placed John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court, it may be years before we regain some of our privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment—and other of our suspended liberties.
But Bush's most wide-ranging assault on who we are as Americans is the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which he signed on October 17, 2006. As I have detailed in previous columns, this law—rushed through by the then-Republican-controlled Congress—annuls two previous Supreme Court decisions on our treatment of prisoners suspected of terrorism. It so expands the definition of "unlawful enemy combatants" (a Bush term unknown in international law) that it can also imprison longtime legal immigrants here—and American citizens—as "enemy combatants" without charge.
Only the president decides who can be held as an "unlawful enemy combatant"—and he is also in charge of the "alternative" interrogation techniques that can be used to extract evidence from them.
Moreover, the MCA prevents the use of the Geneva Conventions against any American interrogators or other personne. However, there are in our laws specific references to the Geneva Conventions—which the MCA now violate.
In Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (June 2006), the Supreme Court ordered the president to adhere to these very Geneva Conventions (of which we are a signatory) with regard to all our prisoners—including "unlawful enemy combatants." All sentences against them, ordered the Court, must be handed down by a "regularly constituted" U.S. court that "provides all the judicial guarantees recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples."
Congress overturned that Supreme Court ruling in the Military Commissions Act. And on February 20, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals upheld the section of the Act that strips all prisoners at Guantanamo of any habeas corpus access to our courts. They will be tried only by military tribunal, which will not permit them to see any classified evidence against them or contest evidence obtained just by hearsay. Nor can they confront the primary witnesses against them.
In her dissent to that D.C. Circuit Court decision (Lakhdar Boumediene, et. al. v. George W. Bush, et. al.), Judge Judith Rogers also pointed to the new law's permitting of "coercive interrogation" of detainees (which often turns out to be a euphemism for torture). But the common law, wrote Judge Rogers, "has regarded torture and its fruits with abhorrence for over 500 years."
However, we Americans have descended even farther from being "a civilized nation" in sections of the MCA described on findlaw.com by Joanne Mariner, Human Rights Watch's invaluable director of their Terrorism and Counterterrorism Program. Reading this, you may get a horrifying sense, as I have, of how deeply this administration has desecrated the core of our justice system: due process (fundamental fairness).
Keep in mind, as Mariner adds, that the MCA also allows the CIA to continue its "renditions" (kidnapping suspects to be tortured in other countries) and permits the agency to resume operating its own secret prisons ("black sites") around the world.
"The MCA," Mariner writes about prison treatment, "contains several provisions that are meant to bar the public [We the People] from ever hearing direct testimony about the CIA's abusive methods. These provisions allow the government to protect the 'sources, methods or activities by which the United States acquired evidence' if these practices are classified." Characteristically, the Bush administration insists "that all 'alternative' interrogation procedures are classified"—including "coercive" methods. (Emphasis added.)
Prisoners who have been tortured—and pressured not to reveal these classified "alternative" practices used on them—will, however, want to tell their lawyers. However, Mariner continues, the attorneys won't be able to report to the outside world any of these "classified" abuses, including the torture that their clients have told them about. Prisoners' lawyers "must turn over all their notes and documents," Mariner reports, "before they leave Guantanamo, and they can only speak about the information they have obtained from their clients after it undergoes classification review."
Therefore, none of us will know how the "evidence" used against these prisoners was extracted.
The president often declaims about the "American values" that we are defending—and which will hopefully inspire other nations. On his watch, as the MCA shows, this is what these values have become!
Rather than wait to find out whether a majority of the John Roberts Supreme Court will agree that these are indeed the values to which we must resort to prevail over the terrorists, some members of Congress are working on bills to truly Americanize the Military Commissions Act. Next week: What their changes involve. One of the proposed bills, introduced by Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, couldn't be more aptly titled: "Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007."
Meanwhile, Amnesty International is so justifiably alarmed by the Military Commissions Act that "Amnesty International groups in Great Britain, Germany, Australia, and Japan are mobilizing their members and governments to help create global pressure to reverse the MCA and end other human rights abuses, including shutting down Guantanamo Bay."
Amnesty International is also, of course, mobilizing its members in this country. You don't have to be a member to write—or otherwise urgently contact your representatives and senators. New Yorkers might start with Senators Clinton and Schumer, neither of whom are in the forefront of this legislation to bring back what we used to stand for around the world.

or this much:
This was Mr Corgi's Christmas card, although I think it would work as a Valentine as well by changing the papers. It starts off as a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 card, then expands to be 11 1/2 inches long (hence the difficulty of getting a good picture). I designed it in the Silhouette Studio using the Print and Cut feature, which made it easy to make sure everything would line up and to get nice straight cut lines. Then I used steps 6 & 7 from the Splitcoast Slider Tutorial to make the slider portion. I used small glue dots cut into thirds to hold down the loops of the twine, making sure I had a loop at the slider cut since I thought that would give me a bit more wiggle room for matching up the twine on the slider portion (and it worked!).
I know there is someone out there who'd like to win a Silhouette vinyl hook just for trying out one of my Silhouette files, so I'm going to extend the giveaway on this post until next Sunday, January 8th.
And now it's time for my final book reviews of 2011:
The Buddha in the Attic is a book Amazon kept recommending for me, so I finally downloaded it from the library. It is a short book about Japanese women who come to America as mail order brides for Japanese-American men. It is beautifully written in the first person plural, which I'm not sure would work for a longer book, but is wonderful here.
Next to Love was another Amazon recommendation, but they didn't hit it out of the park with this one. The story of three friends from WWII to 1965 and how the war affected their lives throughout that time. I started off being intrigued by the three separate stories, but at the end it had the effect of making me not care about any of them very much at all. It does have quite a lot of good reviews on Amazon, so maybe I'm just an outlier.
Daring Young Men was loaned to us by my dad for the drive home from Thanksgiving. It is the story of the Berlin Airlift, of which I knew absolutely zero. The first half was a thrilling tale of these daring young men joining together to keep West Berlin alive, the second half was a not-so-thrilling tale of the politics of keeping it afloat. If you know a history buff (or are one yourself), I would recommend it.
The Language of Flowers as her favorite book of the year, I thought I should give it a try, and it was exactly the book I was looking for. About a foster child named Victoria, it tells the story of her transition out of foster care at 18, with alternating chapters of her life with her foster mother at 10. Oh, and also throws in using flowers to communicate. Recommended!

As the main walking season gets underway we have been down to the River Eden in Carlisle to see how the new relief road is progressing.
Thousands of people travel through this part of the city, just beyond the Sheepmount area, on route to or from nearby Bowness on Solway.
Although access through the works site has been protected, it is worth adding a few extra minutes to your plans.
We would also advise you take a little bit of extra care as you pass through the work site.
Once complete, the new bridge will link the west of the city to the north for vehicles, walkers and bikes.
You can see pictures of the area in the gallery at the bottom of this page.
Bridge works near Grinsdale/ Stainton
The new 156m two-span, steel and concrete bridge over the River Eden, near Stainton has now been installed.
It was lowered into place last November by the country's biggest crane.
It will be painted to blend into the surrounding environment, – so not bright pink then!
Built near the line of Hadrian's Wall, it is at a point where the area had previously been disturbed. Permission was obtained from the The Department of Culture, Media and Sport before works could commence.
Excavations in the area of land on the floodplain of the River Eden revealed an extensive surface scatter of cultural artifacts and debris, consisting of stone tools and chipped stone debris.
This was found next to a sequence of channels also containing worked wood.
The location of the site was highly problematic for the builders, as access to the river was required early in the construction programme to allow the building of the bridge.
Further archaeological works were undertaken to record and process the site and any finds.
CNDR – background.
The Carlisle Northern Development Route (CNDR) will be a single-carriageway bypass just over five miles (8.25 km) long.
It starts from Wigton Road (A595) south west of Carlisle and goes to the west of the city, crossing the River Eden near Stainton and the West Coast Main Line at Kingmoor.
It will pass through Kingmoor Park in the north of the city to join the M6 at Junction 44.
As with many projects of this scale the name of it changes throughout construction. Some people call it the CNDR, others the western bypass or even the northern relief road. Lets hope over time it is not called a white elephant or a death trap.
The whole project is estimated to cost around £176m.

How are the sizes and locations of parks
determined? Long before ground is
broken and the first house is erected within a subdivision, a
specific plan is developed and adopted by the Yuba County Board
of Supervisors. Included in the specific plan are the size and
locations of future parks. This is determined based upon the
projected number of residents at the development's build-out.
In 1975, California voters approved the Quimby Act which
provided county and city jurisdictions the authority to mandate
parkland dedication from developers. In Yuba County, this
equates to a mandatory 5 acres of park land for every 1,000
people at the projected build-out. The developer is given the
option to either grant the land to be used exclusively for a
park or pay an "in-lieu fee" based upon the assessment of
parcels in relation to the projected number of residents. The
funds collected as a result of these fees must be used for park
land acquisition or improvements.
The specific plans for developments can be found on the Yuba
County Planning Department's website. The two major plans
currently in effect are the East Linda Specific Plan (ELSP) and
the Plumas Lake Specific Plan (PLSP); and more are on the way.
Who maintains the parks? Within Yuba County, there exist
several jurisdictions in which parks are maintained. In the
Olivehurst and Plumas Lake areas, Olivehurst Public Utility
District (OPUD) maintains the parks. The cities of Marysville
and Wheatland have control of the parks within their boundaries.
Yuba County provides the maintenance of several county parks,
which are listed on the Parks and Landscape website.
I want to have an event at a Yuba County park. May I reserve
it? No. All County parks are public property and are
available on a first come, first serve basis.
The only exception to this is Hammon Grove Park, where picnic
tables and a large barbeque are available to reserve and are
subject to a fee. Please see the
Hammon Grove Park page for more information.
May my little league / soccer team utilize a park for
practice? Yes, but as noted above, the parks are available
as first come, first serve only.
Who do I contact if I want to
organize a park cleanup event? Please contact Yuba County
Public Works
Department and ask to speak with the Parks and Landscape Coordinator.

Like most farmers these days, Chuck Myers is a busy man. When he's doing fieldwork and needs to know current grain prices, he doesn't have time to make a trip back to his office.
"When I'm busy in the field from dawn till dusk and beyond, that DTN screen in the office doesn't do me much good," he says.
Enter the DTN Rover. This service gives instant access to daily agricultural news, market quotes and weather forecasts in your truck, combine or tractor. The Rover downloads information via cellular phone into a Palm Pilot.
To see how the Rover performs in field conditions, we asked Myers, a Team FIN member from Lyons, NE, to test it earlier this spring. Despite some difficulties, Myers believes the Rover has potential.
"You can get important information in the field, where your time can be worth hundreds of dollars an hour," he says.
Starting out
DTN sent Myers a Rover package that included a color Palm Pilot IIIc, a Tellular Converter (plugs between the cell phone hand set and base), a Palm modem, a notebook-size carrying case, a Palm cradle for recharging and hooking up to a computer, a 9v battery charger and batteries.
Myers then entered his zip code, which the Rover uses to download local weather and cash prices. He also chose the commodity and stock prices he wanted.
As Myers tinkered with the Rover, he observed several bugs in the system. Downloading cash prices at multiple sites sapped time and patience and took a toll on Myers' cell phone bill. To cut phone time, Myers downloaded just local corn and soybean cash prices, the local weather forecast and news. These downloads took just two to six minutes to complete.
Myers says that the Rover can be awkward to use inside the tractor cab because use requires two hands: one to hold the hardware and the other to operate it. "This was an inconvenience if I was operating the tractor while the Rover downloaded information," Myers says. "I think some sort of bracket or pedestal would be very helpful." DTN officials currently are searching for such a bracket.
Myers adds that the Palm color screen was difficult to view. "The brightness of the screen is adjustable, but out in the field, it's just plain hard to see," he says. "I wonder if the black-and-white screen that's available might be better to use in the field."
Myers found that strong cell phone connections are vital for successful Rover operation. Because Myers lives 20 miles from three cell phone towers in his area, he resides in the outer reception radius. Thus, his cell phone often runs on a signal of one-half to two-thirds strength.
That's sufficient for cell phone conversation. However, the weak signal caused nearly one-half of his attempted DTN connections to fail. Of the successful connections, another 50% failed during download. This was despite his use of a 3W bag cellular phone, which DTN officials recommend.
As digital cell phones replace analog ones, more digital towers may be built and help link farmers now having connection problems, explains Mike Moore, DTN Rover product manager.
Still a supporter
In spite of its problems, Myers believes in the Rover.
"With the current signal strength and connection problems I'm having, I can't see signing up for one now," he says. "However, if the connection and download problems are overcome so the Rover works every time, regardless of location, I'll reconsider. The up-to-the-minute information I can access conveniently with the Rover from any location at any time is what I want for the future."
To use the Rover software, you need a cell phone and Palm Pilot. Price: with Internet access, $19.95/month; without Internet access, $24.95/month for 100 min. or $29.95/month for 200 min. For more information, contact DTN, 9110 W. Dodge Rd., Suite 200, Omaha, NE 68114, 800/511-0095.

Maroon 5 Cover Prince's 'Kiss'
If you haven't already picked up Maroon 5's newest album 'Overexposed,' then you should probably march yourself over to the nearest corner and sit for a time out. We're basically a walking advertisement for the album for two reasons: 1) We're hoping Adam Levine will somehow notice us; and 2) The bonus tracks on the album are pretty sick.
Take for instance the band's cover of Prince's 'Kiss.' They've already tackled a song about Mick Jagger, so why not move on to another hip swaying and sexualized singer? The cover is less poppy than the rest of the album and the arrangement is far different than that of Prince's, but we appreciate the more mature sounding Maroon 5. And we don't need Levine to tell us twice to kiss him.
No word on whether or not they plan to release a video for the cover, although we doubt it. But it would be interesting to see Levine in the purple velvet suit Prince donned ages ago. Sadly, with Levine's buzzed haircut, he won't be able to rock the pompadour, but we'll settle for just about anything when it comes to Mr. Adam Levine.
