Thought I'd give my feedback on Slingshot's Better Network.
Before I begin. I am on the Unlimited Plan.
I was moved over today (22.11.2012) and with tests done today I have seen both an increase in my download speeds and an increase in my upload speeds.
Before the move:
Download: 8 - 15 mbps (depending on time of day)
Upload: 0.6 - 0.8 mbps (depending on time of day)
Sorry, I do not have any recent speed tests on file. I neglected to take one yesterday. Here is one from a month ago though:
After the move:
Download: 16 mbps (tested at 3pm (off peak))
Upload: 1.7mbps (tested at 3pm (off peak))
Usually, I don't bother posting positive feedback. But, I am pretty pleased with this upgrade. I hope the speeds are also good during peak hours, but I will have to see tonight.
I should note that my pingtest results have remained pretty much the same. I'm interested in seeing what my ping is now in online games.
I'll update this post with more details in the coming days.

Welcome to our coverage of WWE Fatal Four Way. We will update this page throughout the evening with results from the show, so check back often.
The opening video package focused on the main events, but then switched into a package on Kane's search for the Undertaker's attacker and his promise of "vengeance" tonight.
Vince McMahon came out to open the show. Vince apologized for starting the show on a "somber note" and said Raw General Manager Bret Hart would not be here tonight. They showed the Team NXT attack on Hart from last week's Raw. Vince said he was meeting with "Bret's representatives" later to determine when Bret would be able to return to his duties, and what action would be taken against Team NXT. There was an audible "Daniel Bryan" chant during Vince's promo.
Drew McIntyre came out and shook hands with Vince McMahon before heading to the ring. The McIntyre-Long match from Smackdown this past week was recapped.
Vince McMahon was shown getting in his limo and leaving, so I guess the meeting isn't taking place at Nassau Coliseum.
Drew McIntyre got on the mic and said that Teddy Long, under orders of Mr. McMahon, has to come out right now. Long came out, while McIntyre insulted him, calling him "pathetic" and said he had "no pride" but at least he still had a job. McIntyre said when he wins back "his" Intercontinental Title, Long would have to hand it to him.
Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre.
Kofi looked angry coming out, and the referee had to hold him back during the introductions. Kofi immediately began throwing kicks at the legs and body at the bell. McIntyre fought back with punches and threw Kofi down by the hair and stomped his head. They slugged it out, then Kofi hit a monkey flip and a dropkick. Kingston clotheslined McIntyre to the floor. Kofi hit a tope, then rolled him back in the ring. McIntyre rolled back out, then clipped Kofi's leg as he came out after him. Back in the ring, McIntyre threw Kofi shoulder first into the ringpost and got a two count. McIntyre pounded Kofi with forearms, then pulled him across the ring apron and pounded him across the chest. Kofi kicked Drew from his back, and they fought on the outside, with Drew whipping Kofi's arm into the ringpost.
Back in the ring, McIntyre got a two count, then applied an armbar. Kofi armdragged out of it, then slid under McIntyre, but Drew hit him with a shoulderblock. Drew stomped the arm, and Kofi tried to fight back, but Drew stomped him down in a corner. Drew flipped Kofi to the mat with an armwringer, then applied a overhead wristlock. Drew yanked Kofi to the mat by the hair and continued to work on the arm. McIntyre mocked Kofi's "Boom" claps, and it allowed Kofi to throw some kicks from the mat, but Drew pounded him back down. Drew returned to the armbar, but Kofi fought up and went for a sunset flip. Drew tried to punch out of it, but Kofi moved and Drew punched the mat. Drew came right back with a kick to the injured arm for a two count.
Drew clotheslined Kofi twice in the corner. Drew went for a short-arm clothesline, but Kofi floated over it and hit a DDT. Kofi elbowed Drew, then hit some kicks to the legs. Kofi punched Drew in the head, then hit a series of chops and a dropkick. Kofi missed a clothesline, then Drew missed with one and Kofi rolled up Drew for a two count. Kofi hit a reverse bodypress out of the corner for a two count, but Drew hit the arm again and delivered a neckbreaker on the knee for a two count. Drew went for a slam, but Kofi floated out of it and hit a legsweep. Kofi hit the Boom Drop legdrop, then began to clap. Drew backed away from the Trouble In Paradise kick, and backdropped Kofi to the ringapron. Drew hit some punches and went to back suplex Kofi into the ring, but Kofi shifted his weight and landed on top of Drew for a two count.
Drew hit a running kick on Kofi, then went for the Future Shock DDT, but Kofi broke out and hit a Tornado DDT off the middle rope. Drew got his foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. Kofi mounted Drew in the corner for punches, but Drew walked out of it with a powerbomb on Kofi for a near fall. Drew complained about the count. Drew picked up Kofi off the mat, but Kofi hit the SOS for a two count. McIntyre tripped Kofi into the turnbuckles, but Kofi grabbed a headscissors. Drew stood up in the headscissors and threw Kofi into the referee, knocking him out.
Drew threw Kingston shoulder first into the ringpost and hit the Future Shock DDT, but there was no referee to count. McIntyre tried to revive the referee, then went outside and threw Teddy Long in the ring, demanding he make the count. McIntyre even ripped the shirt off the unconscious referee and ordered Long to put it on. Long did so, and McIntyre made the cover. Long counted two, then stopped and shook his head no. The fans chanted for Long. McIntyre glared at Long, and backed him in a corner. McIntyre told Long he needs to count him, or he would "drop him." McIntyre went to pick up Kofi for another DDT, but Matt Hardy ran in from the crowd and gave McIntyre a Twist Of Fate. Long just watched. Kofi then gave McIntyre a Trouble In Paradise kick and Long counted the pinfall for Kofi at the 17-minute mark.
Winner: Kofi Kingston.
Backstage, Savannah interviewed the Hart Dynasty, who apparently are wrestling in a six-person tag team match on the show. Natalya said it was a tough week, but they would make Bret proud tonight. Kidd said they were going to take care of the Usos tonight in the ring. Smith said Bret has been like a father to him, and that he signed the Usos so the Hart Dynasty would have to earn everything they achieve. He said tonight they would fight.
Divas Champion Eve vs. Alicia Fox vs. Maryse vs. Gail Kim.
Eve and Maryse paird off at the bell, while Kim and Alicia did the same. Gail got kicked in the shin by Fox, who then hit a Northern Lights suplex, leading into a sequence where everyone was breaking up pins and going for covers. Fox gave Kim a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Eve gave Maryse and Fox forearms and dropkicks. Fox and Maryse double-teamed Eve. Kim got on the apron and gave Fox a headscissors while Eve put Maryse in an armbar. Kim let go of her headscissors to break up Eve's hold on Maryse. Kim put Maryse in an armbar of her own, then Fox broke it up and she put Maryse in an armbar. Maryse escaped to the floor. Eve put Fox in a camel clutch, while Kim put Fox a Boston Crab at the same time. Maryse tossed Eve and Kim out of the ring, leaving her to face off with Fox.
They argued, then Fox shoved her. Maryse hit some forearms and a side kick for a cover, but Eve broke it up. Kim came in and dropkicked Eve and Maryse. Kim hit Maryse with a shoulderblock, then a missile dropkick for a one count, as Eve broke it up. Kim got yanked down off the apron by Alicia, who dropped her face first on it Eve gave Maryse a neckbreaker in the ring, then went to the top rope and hit a moonsault. Fox broke up the cover, throwing Eve to the floor, and Fox covered Maryse for the pin at the six minute mark.
Winner and new Divas Champion: Alicia Fox.

National Hurricane Center
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
The storm surge is usually the most dangerous threat of a hurricane. The ten deadliest U.S. hurricane disasters, including the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 (8000 killed), the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 (2500 killed), and Hurricane Katrina of 2005 (1833 killed), were all primarily storm surge disasters. The Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald ran a series of stories in 2005 on people who were lucky enough to survive Hurricane Katrina's record storm surge. There were some common misconceptions that were touched on in these stories, and were written up in Margie's Kieper's blog on the Hurricane Katrina storm surge.
Figure 1. A man wearing a tiny life jacket and clutching a neon green noodle and a pet dog floats on the remains of a house in Waveland, MS, during Hurricane Katrina. The photo was taken from the second floor window of a home, and the water is close to the roof line of the first floor. The home was at an elevation of about 17 feet, and the surge is close to ten feet deep here. There are electric lines running down from a pole to a home from left to right. In the distance on the right is a home with water up to the roof line. The eye is probably overhead, as the water is relatively calm and there appears to be little wind or rain, even though the pine trees are bent from the recent force of the eyewall winds. The photo was taken by Judith Bradford. Her husband, Bill Bradford, swam out and rescued the man and his dog, and two other people who floated by. He reported that the water was nothing like white water, but was a gentle, continuous flow. He was lucky. In the nearby Porteaux Bay area, a woman watched her fiance get pulled from a tree by the force of the current. The man was washed out into the Gulf and drowned. The image above is described in more detail on Margie Kieper's Katrina storm surge web page.
Misconception: Call 911 and you can be rescued, while the water is pouring into your home.
How? No one will be able to get to you. Water rises quickly--sometimes six to ten feet within minutes; cars can't drive in it, and it is usually unnavigable by boats when it is coming ashore.
Misconception: Just stuff towels under the door jambs. Then rush around to start picking up things that are close to floor level, so you can save them.
Bad idea. In a minute or so the surge will burst open the door, and instead of standing in a room with four inches of water, you'll be knocked off your feet and into whatever piece of furniture is closest. You'll suddenly be in three or four feet of moving water that you can't make any headway into...just before the refrigerator, quickly rushing through the water towards you, knocks you cold.
Misconception: You'll be able to maneuver around in the rushing water.
Probably not. Some people who drowned were not even able to get out of the room they were in, when the water started pouring into the home. The speed of water in surge can be equivalent to a Class III or IV rapids (Class V is hardly navigable by expert kayakers).
Misconception: You'll know in time.
The surge is usually not a wall of water as is often assumed, but rather a rapid rise of water of several feet over a period of minutes. It can sneak in unexpectedly, on little cat feet.
Misconception: You can outrun the storm surge in your car.
Here's an email sent to wunderground from a resident in the Florida Keys during the Keys evacuation order for Hurricane Ike in 2008: I hate to bother you again, but we live on Marathon in the Florida Keys on the Atlantic side, and my husband says that if we see water coming up from storm surge and have an inch of water in our house, that we can outrun the storm surge in our car. Can you please tell me if there is any way this can possibly be true? P.S., I don't know of anyone who lives down here who is planning on evacuating for Ike. Everyone says they are staying. If you wait until the water is an inch high before trying to outrun the surge, the odds are that the surge will rise to over a foot high before you get your car out of the driveway. If the water is a foot high, the typical 10 - 15 mph speed of the storm surge's current has enough force to sweep a car away. In many places along the coast, there is only one road out of a low-lying region prone to storm surges, and the surge will cut off one's only escape route. The Keys have only one road, and the storm surge will likely be moving perpendicular to the road, cutting off the only escape route. One of these days, there are going to be a lot of people who fail to evacuate caught and killed in the Keys by the storm surge from a major hurricane.
How to Survive a Storm Surge
People who survived Katrina's storm surge did one of several things: they floated out an open window, and managed to hang onto debris, a tree, or some other structure above the water, until the surge receded, hours later. Or, they were able to pull themselves into an attic, or make it up to a second floor, where water did not reach, and luckily the home was not swept away. It is common in many flood-prone regions behind levees to keep an axe fastened to the wall of the attic. Then, if water comes in unexpectedly, you can get into the attic and chop a hole through the roof to escape. Don't forget to keep a length of rope there that you can use to tie yourself to a sturdy part of the house (don't tie yourself to the steel beams of the house, as these will sink).
The best way to survive a storm surge is to heed evacuation orders and leave before the surge arrives!

112 thoughts on "Social Security Serves Nearly 41 Million Visitors a Year in 1,400 Offices Across the Nation!"
Thank- you very much for your support and communication to us Baby Boomers.
I am now 70 &1/2 ( born 9 months after the victory in Japan) and I was forced by my Law Partners to retire when I was 68 and 2 months old.
I am receiving my Soc. Sec monthly and I think it is near the max. It is very important for me now… because I eat right and exercise hard 5-6 days a week..my doctor says… I will probably live to be over 100.
Note: I am a deal maker and a problem solver and I am still working hard to help our new very Historically Practical Leaders to save Maryland and the US.
who do I talk to about what is the best age for me and my wife to start getting Soc Sec? I turn 64 on Thanksgiving, 2016
My brother in law has stage 4 liver and colon cancer.Terminal Cancer. he has been denied 3 times due to being self employed. He has paid in the system and receives loetters telling him what he will make at retirement. He is an emotional wreck due to the illness and the strain of knowing he is dying and can't help his wife with bills. I am a nurse and find this unacceptable for someone who is already emotionally drained and depressed. The system needs some serious work.
I am sorry for your brother's situation, but you must read the rules carefully. A disability determination is based on having a condition that prevents substantial work. Congress makes the laws and they decided a person will be found "disabled" within the law only after the disabling condition(s) prevent a certain level of employment or self-employment. The rules therefore create a scenario where a person hanging in there still working above a certain level and who wants to know when Social Security disability will start is actually preventing himself from being found eligible. It is NOT about being sick. It IS about being sick enough that a certain level of work is unattainable. Voting has consequences. If you want this to change start working with others to have Congress change the law. The people working at SSA are powerless to change or ignore the law provided by the people you and everyone else elect to office or have placed in federal judgeships by those elected as well.
I would like to draw my Social Security but under the WEP if I drew Social Security as I am a retired state government worker , I would lose 90% of my social Security. That law needs changing badly; many low wage worker, teachers don't qualify for their spouses Social Security because of this law.
Telling an agency that you don't like the law ultimately is not going to accomplish anything as the agency cannot change the law. Most Americans have been provided basic education on how government works. You should probably think about helping organize like-suffering people like yourself and taking the fight to the people you elected to office. Unfortunately, if you elected people who are reducing government to average Americans (unlike to those they take cash contributions from), then you are in kind of a pickle then. When the voting public decides what it actually wants, perhaps elections may start to once again reflect the popular will and the benefits of government may be more equally distributed.
I've been on SSDI since 2009. I had a great job and I was a big producer for my company. Always meeting my Sales Quota, Brought in 20 New Clients per month and more at times. I had a terrible accident that left most of my Cervical Discs cracked or broken. By the "Grace of God" I endured a 14 hour surgery. My tenacity kept me busy in improving my neck and its ability to turn to each side and raise and bend my neck. I didn't have the range of motion that most have, however I was happy to accomplish what my ranges are.
I worked for a Fortune 500 Company and had the best of best Medical Insurance. I went back to work on the last month and quickly realized that my injury was still in the healing stages. I worked 1/2 days for a month and then I had to comply with the Corporate Rules and work full time. This was ok with me, however the Company kept my Sales Quota at 350k and capped at 10k. This was also not a problem. When I began working full time, the CEO told my boss, not to give me back 50 of my clients. There were words between my boss and CEO. My boss tried to sway the CEO to do the right thing and give me my Clients.
Without clients, I could not make my Sales Quota of 350k, capped a 10k. On December 31st, 2008, I was discharged for "Non-Production. I should have filed a lawsuit, however I decided not to. I had too many personal things to do and left quietly. If I did file a lawsuit, I would have won due to the company not keeping me as I was disabled, however I could do my job.
I haven't worked since then and in 2012 I returned to college and obtained an Accounting Degree. I haven't been able to use it, until now.
I've been told that I can work full time for 9 months in any year. I am going to work this year, however I believe that I'll stay with Part-Time as I do not wish to lose my SSDI.
My question is two fold. I broke my right lumbar in half in 2015 and do I need to get that information to Social Security and how much can I actually make each without endangering my SSDI.
How can someone cheat and fraud the system, earn a degree and just work enough so they don't lose their SSDI?
Now that Trump is going to become President, is the SSA still going to proceed with Obama's executive order to take guns away from the mentally ill on Social Security. The Trump administration might appoint a new Social Security Commissioner and get rid of the Acting Commissioner. Then the new Commissioner will clean up house and bring in their own people.
I think this is among the such a lot vital information for me. And i am happy reading your article. However wanna statement on some normal issues, The site taste is ideal, the articles is really nice : D. Excellent job, cheers

I fall under the WEP provision and went to my local Social Security office (with an appointment) to get a more indepth understanding of how WEP will impact my Social Security. Upon arriving for my appt, I requested to have a one-to-one interview but was told that was not an option… I could only speak to a window person and ask my questions at the window. Does the Social Security offices provide time for complex situations? Do different SS offices have 'window' only vs inside offices for complex situations? thanks.
How can I make an appt at SSI for 37919.
My husband Terry Mike Lyzen passed away on April 25, 2018….what do I do
Can I schedule a meeting, on line, with a local office ?
What information do I need to prove that I have made Medicare CMS for 2017? Do I need a copy of my social security benefit letter of 2017 and a copy of the 1099-SSA 2017 in order to prove Medicare payments for the year 2017. If so, I would like to make an appointment at the SSA office on 87th and Sacramento in Chicago. How can I do this? Thank you.
I just became a naturalized citizen last month. So, I need to update my SSS.
Where is the nearest SSS Office near Zip Code 93210?
Thank you
Where are the locations near zip code 48044?
I would like to make an appointment to speak with a representative concerning the replacement of a lost social security card
I need to schedule an appointment to update my name and address and receive a new social security card.
My husband and I need to make an appointment at our local office in Littleton, CO for either Monday, January 28, 2019 or Monday, February 4, 2019. I have not be able to get through by telephone. Can you make the appointment for us?
Do I need to send my certified Birth Certificate and my Passport for a replacement card? I'm not comfortable sending my Passport in the mail and I couldn't locate a link to make an appointment however I did find your hours of operation which would be very difficult for me to come in person. I prefer to apply my mail if possible. I still have my original card however it is so worn that the DMV was unable to make a legible copy for the new ID. That's the reason I need a new card.
Suggestion: Have forms available online and/or in the office so those that know which fiorm they need can bring it completed to the office. I had an appt and then was told to go to the return line to fill out a 1 minute form. 25 minutes later and I am still in the return line. Can someone in SSA please make this happen?
My spouse and I visited the Littleton, CO office today. We experienced great customer service and a friendly, communicative atmosphere. Your Security person and our Customer Service Representative were cordial, friendly, attentive, quick to understand and helpful. The office was standing room only at the time of our visit. However, we were able to complete our business satisfactorily in an hour. Thank you.
I am mental and getting so many letters. I need help. I do not understand. The reems and reems of papers aren't helping.

How can I get my tax report!!! You do not even list the local offices. I am REALLY ANGRY. I need that form to file my taxes.
What is the percentage increase in benefit from collecting at 63 instead of 62?
Thank you!
You need better navigation on your website to find locations – try finding one
then click on button for locations
All I want to do is ask a question – and/or make an appointment and it's nearly impossible to reach Social Security by phone to do either . Where online can I make an appointment?
Thank you.
Hello Social Security,
Is there anyone out there that can instruct me on how make an appointment at the Cambridge MA office for the morning of 2 APR? I have been fighting with the website and telephone system since JAN 2019 to no avail.
Good afternoon, I recently became an american citizen and i need to update my SS Card. I'm having problems to find a near Social security Office. I live in Jacksonville Fl, 32218.

Basically, there are only two major things that happen online, the buying and selling process, aside from establishing long-term relationships with customers. While many leave everything to chance, there is no taking chance when it comes to online selling. It means, some things are not being advertised to them. That's SEO job not selling but optimizing the site in order to get customers notice you, to become no. 1 in yahoo, MSN and Google and earning bucks.
In addition, people cannot buy products which they do not see as available. A good web design websites can add attraction as well. With that, repeat business will be certain to flow and thus, provide continuity to the other end, especially the selling part. It is also important, not only to sell, but get the satisfaction of these buyers. A deeper understanding of the targets gives more feel for the customers because a seller would know what pleases them. A business, either online or land-based, must be specific on the people it wants to cater to.
Knowing who the customers are, would greatly help in making out which direction to take. A business, either online or land-based, must be specific on the importance of using good web marketing into your online business and see it grow in time. This is the key that unlocks the potential of realizing the sales targets of a company. A deeper understanding of the targets gives greater understanding of the needs of customers. This will in turn, greatly help in making out which direction to take. Almost everybody will agree on the people it wants to cater to. Use significant Web marketing strategy. Be independent in financial matters when you are clearly reaching your goals for sales and profit. Internet marketing will give you a success that you ever wanted.

Russia's Investigative Committee has named the main suspects in the October 7, 2006, murder of Anna Politkovskaya. But the news did not cause a stir. Russian journalists reacted to it rather languidly; for instance, Novaya Gazeta, where Politkovskaya worked, did not make any notable comments.
This is not because Politkovskaya's murder--now five years old--has been forgotten in Russia. The tepid interest is mostly due to the fact that there are no new names among the suspects.
Authorities have once again charged three Chechen brothers--Rustam, Ibragim, and Dzhabrail Makhmudov; the Chechen criminal leader Lom-Ali Gaitukayev; and Interior Ministry officers Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov and Sergei Khadzhikurbanov with various involvements in the killing.
All these names became well known during the first trial over Politkovskaya's murder. Back in February 2009, a jury acquitted three defendants--Khadzhikurbanov and two Makhmudov brothers, Ibragim and Dzhabrail. (Rustam Makhmudov, whom the investigation considers the gunman, was sought on an international warrant and was not in the dock.) Gaitukayev, whom the investigation has now named an organizer of the slaying, was considered a witness for the prosecution at the time. Khadzhikurbanov, the third defendant in the 2009 trial, is also considered an organizer of the slaying. Ibragim and Dzhabrail Makhudov's charges--accomplices in the killing--remain the same as two years ago.
All of the suspects have denied all charges against them, except for retired Lt. Col. Pavlyuchenkov, who has entered into plea negotiations.
Pavlyuchenkov's alleged role in the murder has changed several times since the first Politkovskaya murder investigation. Initially, Pavlyuchenkov was considered a witness in the case; then, he was declared an organizer of the slaying. Back in August, the Investigative Committee announced that it was Pavlyuchenkov who received money (from an unknown party) for Politkovskaya's murder, and it was Pavlyuchenkov who distributed the "logistical tasks" of the crime among the members of the gang he allegedly formed for the purpose. Now, however, Pavlyuchenkov is no longer considered an organizer but an accomplice in the murder, who reportedly abused the powers of his office (as head of surveillance at the Interior Ministry) when ordering the tracking of Politkovskaya's moves.
After a jury acquitted all defendants in 2009, the verdict was overturned by Russia's Supreme Court, but a new trial was not scheduled. It became evident that two years had not been enough for the Investigative Committee to solve the crime. They failed to unravel the chain of mastermind-organizer-accomplices-gunman. By returning the case to investigators for further work, the Supreme Court confirmed this.
Why was such a half-baked case allowed to go to court at all?
Novaya Gazeta Deputy Editor Sergey Sokolov says it was because, with the second anniversary of Politkovskaya's killing approaching, "investigators were hastened to deliver results." A contributing factor was the prosecution's tendency to win in Russian courts. The number of acquittals issued in Russia is negligible -- statistics show that acquittals nowadays are fewer than in Stalin's time. However poorly an investigation may be conducted, the judge, as a rule, would side with the prosecution. Also, the professionalism of investigators tasked with probing high-profile contract killings falls short. This was particularly clear in Politkovskaya's case.
Vyacheslav Izmailov, a special Novaya Gazeta correspondent who has covered the North Caucasus for many years, recalls his interactions with the team of investigators conducting the initial Politkovskaya murder probe. "They suggested that we, journalists, carry out significant parts of the investigation," Izmailov says. "For instance Petros Garibyan [who continues to head the Politkovskaya murder probe] offered that I meet with Ramzan Kadyrov [the formidable Chechnya president whom Politkovskaya criticized sharply]. Garibyan was asking that I find out what Kadyrov thought about Politkovskaya's killing, what his version [of who murdered her] was."
Have investigators been successful in buttressing their case with solid evidence this time around?
According to Anna Stavitskaya, lawyer for the Politkovskaya family, progress has undoubtedly been made. "I have not yet studied the materials of the investigation but having [suspected] organizers under indictment can definitely be considered headway toward solving this crime," Stavitskaya says.
Dzhabrail Makhmudov's lawyer, Murad Musayev, told CPJ he does not believe investigators genuinely want to solve Politkovskaya's killing. Rather, he says, they have only one goal--to prove their version of events.
"My client has been charged with nothing new," Musayev told CPJ. "The only addition to the investigation is Pavlyuchenkov, who is a totally controllable figure. In other words, he will be giving the kind of testimony that investigators would need him to give."
"I am certain that he [Pavlyuchenkov] is involved in this case," Musayev says. "During the first trial it was no secret that he and his subordinates at the Operational Surveillance Department [one of the most secretive branches of Russia's Interior Ministry] were the people who organized Politkovskaya's murder. I am absolutely convinced that the killer, too, is among the representatives of that department."
Novaya Gazeta's Sokolov, who heads the paper's own journalistic investigation into Politkovskaya's killing, says the paper's efforts this spring helped get on-the-record witness testimony about Pavlyuchenkov's role in the crime, which led to his arrest.
Sokolov told CPJ that Pavlyuchenkov's subordinates at the surveillance department are each now being investigated as potential accomplices. Some of those subordinates, Sokolov says, have begun testifying in exchange for being charged with less serious crimes, which would, in turn, mitigate their prospective punishments.
"An entire mechanism of illegal, unsanctioned surveillance of many persons [by officers of the Interior Ministry's Operational Surveillance Department] has been revealed," Sokolov says. "They received money to conduct foot surveillance for a fee of US$100 an hour."
Negotiating with suspects in order to receive evidence that could strengthen the prosecution's case in exchange for mitigated charges and sentences is an accepted--and absolutely legal--practice. This practice, however, would not be worthwhile if it did not lead to the capture and prosecution of the crime's mastermind.
While the second investigation into Politkovskaya's murder may have strengthened the evidence against the suspected immediate killers, it has demonstrated no progress toward identifying those who bought and sent them to the journalist's doorstep. Moreover, when it comes to the mastermind, the investigation is becoming more politicized.
Specifically, the names of the disgraced oligarch Boris Berezovsky and persons from his alleged circle have been floating around as potential benefactors of Politkovskaya's elimination. Among Berezovsky's circle, according to authorities, are Chechen separatist leader Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev (who has been named the mastermind of Paul Klebnikov's killing in 2004); former spy Aleksandr Litvinenko, who was poisoned to death in London with radioactive polonium soon after Politkovskaya was murdered; and exiled Chechen separatist Akhmed Zakayev.
The information that Zakayev and Litvinenko are suspected of involvement in the killing of Politkovskaya was first reported by the news agency Rosbalt on October 18. The Investigative Committee has neither confirmed nor denied this information. The Rosbalt report is based on the witness testimony of former security service officer and current parliamentary deputy Andrei Lugovoi--the same Lugovoi whom Scotland Yard has charged in Litvinenko's killing.
"Several days after Politkovskaya's murder, [then] President Putin publicly announced his opinion that the masterminds are malevolent oligarchs abroad," Sokolov says. "A day later, [Prosecutor General Yuri] Chaika corroborated this. And right after them, a number of other people swarmed the Investigative Committee to suggest that Berezovsky is to blame. Lugovoi gave similar testimony at the very beginning of the investigation, but that testimony was so abstruse that it was never included in the final indictment."
Lawyer Musayev says the question of who masterminded the murder of Anna Politkovskaya remains a "murky realm to me." The culprits will become known only when "real accomplices like Pavlyuchenkov are pressed to the wall," Musayev says, "and when they start giving truthful information as opposed to testimony authorities want to hear."

Data & maps: HSI Version 2 & a "classic" HDIPosted on March 9th, 2011 No comments
Data have been released for Human Security Index Version 2, and for a "classic" Human Development Index. Check the tabs above for the data, maps, and documentation.
The United Nations Development Programme's 2010 global Human Development Report changed its formulation for the HDI, and also reduced coverage to 169 countries. The HDI released here (under the tab for "A 'Classic' Human Development Index with 232 Countries") aims for wider geographic coverage. After all, that is considered germane to usefulness of a "global" HSI. Please don't try to compare rating numbers, or relative rankings, in this HDI with any others. With so many more countries, your Country X of interest could have a higher rating number, yet a lower relative ranking, due to the large number of (usually relatively small) countries added to this HDI.
A few maps have been added. More maps should be added over time.
Documentation for HSI Version 2Posted on January 26th, 2011 No comments
Human Security Index Version 2.0 was released on 9 December 2010. Click on the tabs above entitled "HSI Version 2″ and "A Human Development Index (HDI) with 232 Countries" for more information, including data and maps.
Strengthening the Framework of the HSIPosted on September 20th, 2010 No comments
Toward HSI Version 2
As with any prototype, the Human Security Index faced some challenges. The prototype HSI, released in 2008-2009, is no exception. Challenges include:
- How to find adequate data, and preferably thematic indicators themselves, that could be appropriate inputs to the HSI?
- After the prototype demonstrated the feasibility of crafting a Human Security index, how might a redesign process improve the HSI?
- How to strengthen thematic sub-indices? and
- How to integrate equitability/inclusivenes into the Human Security Index?
Commenting rules
HumanSecurityIndex.org encourages pro- active comments.
We especially welcome suggestions & constructive reviews on datasets & topical indicators not in evidence on this Website; and refinements in methodology. So are original discussions and links with summaries to existing discussions on human security - in the context of this Website. Check the "About" tab above for more context.
Ranting, bad-mouthing abuse, grandstanding, "point- scoring", and pot shots are not considered pro- active.
You don't have to register and give up personal privacy information - but you do need to submit your name and email. Comments will be vetted by a mysterious process, with no obligation to pass or reject any comment (but the previous paragraph may serve as a description of what might fail the vetting).
HSI Component: Information empowerment
Are people connected and empowered through the diversity of traditional and modern means of information exchange? Do they have access to each other in person (freedom of association), by telephone, and the Internet? Do they have access to uncensored, unbiased and effective people-centric (rather than self-centric) information through printed, broadcast, and Internet sources?
In some countries, the philosophy is for "freedom of speech" including freedom of association and religion. In other countries, it is for "freedom of expression" (both to espouse and receive views) including freedom to chose media sources (including Internet service provider, etc.). HumanSecurityIndex.org considers that both of these concepts are vital to people.
People currently communicate in-person, or via (fixed and mobile) telephone, (postal or electronic) mail, and the Internet. The latter was formerly dominated by one-way communication from server to client, but now is two-way through blogs, wikis, discussion forums, virtual community and file sharing media on the Web. Access to such media, and the freedom of such media from propaganda, censorship, intentional or unintentional bias (which limits rather than stimulates perspective) are vital to a social fabric.
The HSI component on Information Empowerment combines data on fixed and mobile telephone lines and Internet users (as a percentage of inhabitants – to indicate users of such media) with an indicator of press freedom. The main sources are:
- Information and Communication indicators from the International Telecommunication Union's ICT Eye supplemented by other sources to cover gaps in the ITU data – as described in the United Nations release publication on the HSI.
- The Press Freedom Index of Reporters Sans Frontieres.
An indicator which characterizes the amount of access by individuals and communities to information, which is empowering of the people rather than of an elite, is an important component of social fabric and human security. This might include an enumeration of the number of people accessing various types of communications/media (not just phones and the Internet as in the case of the Connection Index).
In addition, there is the concern that consolidations (and budgetary reductions) of several traditional news media outlets into giant holding companies, arguably more driven by profit motive than by journalistic excellence, is reducing journalistic effectiveness, and thus human security. So, an indicator of Press Effectiveness (including freedom of journalists from official harassment but also freedom and effectiveness of journalists at delivering investigative journalism to empower readers) would be valuable to have.
HSI Component: Corruption control / Governance
Do people feel safe that human security is a focus of government leaders, and that businesses are customer- focused? Although businesses may be entitled to a fair profit, are corporate leaders getting platinum packages while the average person gets mud? Are bribes and lobbying co-opting decision- makers away from public service and toward individual interests of a few?
People feel more secure when government's focus is on "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Traditionally, one might attribute subterfuge or co-option by special interests against such focus to corruption.
Anything which un- levels the playing field in favour of insiders or an "oligarchy" which costs the people as a whole, contributes to reduced human security. (If you can think of an exception, please comment on it below.) Though corruption is often thought of as associated with abuse (e.g. bribery and influence peddling) by individuals who may use situations or positions for inappropriate monetary gain, this research considers that a wider process may be involved. For example, "the established way of doing things", which may be institution- centred rather than service- oriented for the people, and may no longer be appropriate with new approaches available, may be just as negative an impact on human security.
- For example, imagine having your phone or credit card bill managed as taxing authorities in the USA "administer" income taxes under its responsibility. Imagine being forced to carry two credit cards (or separate fixed and mobile phone accounts), each with its own labyrinthic, somewhat incompatible, "accounting" system – analogous to having separate Federal and State authorities to deal with. Imagine being required to record each phone call (including starting and ending times, number called, rate and cost) and credit card transaction – to be reported by you periodically to the phone and card companies. If you make a mistake that implies lower obligations you can be fined or jailed (or have your home raided and your computer and belongings seized). This could even happen if you paid "big bucks" to a private accountant, tax lawyer, or the like - you're still responsible for their mistakes. If your bookkeeping options you choose result in higher payments, the tax folks may keep the money. Imagine being forced into such systems. Have you ever heard people call this inhumane, cruel, or dysfunctional / corrupt?
- Now imagine a taxing authority that administers taxes like your phone provider or credit card issuer. You receive an accounting, with an opportunity to review and point out possible mistakes. Then you settle the bill (perhaps with a automated bill payment from or refund into your bank account). The latter can be done, and indeed is being done in well- run administrations. In this document (warning: this links to a .pdf – see page 3) Denmark led the process over a decade ago, and has been followed by Finland (warning: link is to a .pdf), Slovenia and several other [thus advanced in this regard] countries, with governments providing taxpayers with tax forms pre-filled – which the taxpayer checks for possible errors (as in a phone bill) for easier and fairer treatment of taxpayers, as well as better compliance.
So maintaining a system that does not smoothly deliver good governance while also providing as reasonable a service as possible for the people may be viewed as corrupt, and degrading to human security. Also, an extension to characterize the effectiveness of traditional and new media in exposing corruption and other bad governance would be a great enhancement to a social fabric index.
Though the most well-known indicator of corruption may be Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, this effort uses the World Bank index on Control of Corruption, including traditionally considered "illegal" corruption, plus the embryonic concept of "legal" corruption (original paper) ; (updated paper) (warning: links are to .pdfs).
Some people might expect a broader indicator of governance here. We looked at efforts such as the World Bank's Governance Indicators, of government effectiveness, political stability & violence, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption. But when we attempted to adapt these to human security characterizations and strategizing, we ran into some difficulties. Firstly, we wonder if the concepts may be more western or urban than global in approach. For example, is a win-lose court system, in which people are trained to manipulate descriptions in order to win a case - good rule of law and governance - or is it the sometimes characterized "tyranny of lawyers?" Or is a system of mediation, in which the desired outcome is not win-lose but win-win (and a solution to the problem that everyone can except - rather than have arbitrarily imposed on them), preferable?
We found the indicator becoming perceptive and useful for developing human security strategy immediately when data for "legal corruption" were combined with those for more widely discussed "illegal corruption." Indeed, we considered these to be two links in a chain, where the weaker link most strongly influenced the outcome. Adding the other World Governance Indicators did not seem to change the character or strength / weakness of the chain - but only seemed to obfuscate the power of blending legal and illegal corruption. So our governance indicator is currently the minimum of legal or illegal corruption percentile figure for a country.
As the HSI, and all its components, are designed to be working prototypes, we welcome ideas for additional data and hopefully introductions to curators of additional indicators in this arena. We also hope to find better ways to combine data.
Please consider this a request for creating components of a richer governance component to the HSI.
HSI Component: Environmental protection
Do people feel safe and comfortable in their environment? Is the community relatively well protected from public health and environmental hazards – and well served by preventive, mitigative, early warning, response and recovery mechanisms? Are people and communities safe from biological, chemical and physical contamination including of food, water, and air? Are they living sustainably? Are they free of need to burn non-renewable resources (e.g. gas - petrol) for transportation, heat or cooking? If they have electricity, is it from renewable sources? Is their housing a sustainably low resource and energy consumer?
Many societies are low on environmental impact because they are materially poor. How sustainable is this if they develop to moderate material levels? Quite a few societies have made progress in some areas of environmental stewardship – but often the job is far from done.
There are innumerable environmental indicators. HumanSecurityIndex.org's selection of component indicators is an attempt to be somewhat conservative, but also inclusive of the diverse range of environmental topics. One school of thought appears mostly focused on greenhouse gas emissions, or more encompassing "ecological footprint." HumanSecurityIndex.org certainly recognizes the importance of that issue, as can be seen by the makeup of this component on Environmental Protection. However, a small carbon footprint resulting from a low level of HDI and energy use – but with a high level of chemical or biological contamination of water supply, a weak waste reusage infrastructure, etc. - is this an indicator of better environmental performance? Or might it be a possible suggestion of an environmentally disastrous future if that economy, say, suddenly strikes oil and begins big-time production – with concurrent massive inflows of oil revenues?
After looking at many environmental indicators, HumanSecurityIndex.org selected the following to be components of its component on Environmental Protection:
- The Environmental Performance Index
- The Environmental Sustainability Index and
- The List of Countries by Greenhouse Gas Emissions per Capita
HumanSecurityIndex.org is intrigued by much of the discussion of Marks et al. on the Happy Planet Index. Indeed, HumanSecurityIndex.org's Social Fabric Index also suggests that several Central American and island societies, plus Bhutan (home of the concept of Gross National Happiness) also several African societies [which don't do so well in the Happy Planet Index] among others are achieving (relatively unnoticed without such revisits) relatively good results in the development of true community. Several such societies are comparably better than many countries that have emphasized GDP growth. Similarly, in the UNDP Thailand Human Development Report for 2007, northeastern Thailand – despite its relative material poverty compared to most of the rest of the country – is a winner in achieving arguably a more profound sense of community.
However, HumanSecurityIndex.org is reluctant to use the Happy Planet Index as now constituted as part of the Social Fabric or Human Security Index.
- Can the Ecological Footprint, as used in the Happy Planet Index, be re-crafted for more broad-based acceptance?
- Could a life satisfaction indicator be developed to (1) first educate respondents more about the global and local situations before asking their (previously naive, but afterward better informed) views? Could it (2) be crafted to minimize cultural interpretational diversity problems as implied on the Happy Planet Index Website? If someone is chagrined and saddened by the energy-wasteful lifestyle of her country – and that she is pressured to own a car for each adult in her family because of lamentable lack of sustainable transport infrastructure almost everywhere in her country; but if she is also proud and excited by some of her country's progress in other aspects of environmental stewardship as well as by her own super-insulated solar-heated home – how should she respond to the Happy Planet Index survey? Actually, there appears to be no correct answer to that survey as currently crafted, when one has a sufficiently detailed view of the state of the planet.
Several other environmental indicators have been developed which use ecological, carbon, or other "footprint" computations. Though we believe such "footprints" are useful concepts, we have not seen a computation that we are ready to incorporate into the HSI component on Environmental Protection. We encourage additional developments - and discussion, of enhanced indicators for our consideration - and your support.
HSI Component: Peace
Do people feel safe in their homes, communities, nation, and the world? Is crime a threat? Are power groups (from foreign or domestic individual, institutional/corporate, or governmental forces) disrupting human security? Is one's country (or a neighbour) involved in domestic or foreign conflict, conscripting community residents and spending scarce resources in disruptions – at the cost of human security at home and abroad?
The Global Peace Index is an excellent start at characterizing a person's peace and harmony in one's local and global community based on freedom from external warlike behaviour of one's country, and from domestic strife and related concerns. A "trigger-happy" society (overseas or at home) is not a secure one, and (as others have said) might become a magnet or catalyst for additional trigger-happy behaviour of various sorts. Indeed, members of the "gun lobby" in the USA have argued against bans or restrictions on gun ownership, saying that country is so unsafe that people must be able to defend their own homes with their own guns. Here's an example. Is this not a graphic indicator of poor social fabric? (HumanSecurityIndex.org is not making a political editorial, merely a social observation.)
HumanSecurityIndex.org also includes incarceration rates as an excellent indicator of societal strains from criminal inclinations in a society, and/or inclinations of that society to incarcerate people rather than to fundamentally solve the possible causes of behaviour that result in arrest and detention. These include the World Prison Population List and the World Pre-Trial / Remand Imprisonment List As Roy Walmsley (curator of such lists) notes, high incarceration rates can have many causes. However, in the view of several socioeconomic experts with whom HumanSecurityIndex.org has discussed this issue, abnormally high incarceration rates indicate poor human development/security in a society, and appear to be an excellent proxy for societal fabric in great need of repair. Walmsley has given thoughtful reviews of issues and concerns about high and generally increasing incarceration rates. Indeed, the apparent geographic, temporal, and demographic relationships between increasing income inequality (e.g. GINI coefficient values) and increasing incarceration rates over the past two decades could make a valuable study.
Janet Billson has an interesting discussion of well-being from a women's standpoint. She has suggested that domestic violence would be an invaluable, though very challenging, phenomenon to characterize through some form of indicator. HumanSecurityIndex.org would be tempted to place such an indicator in this grouping on peacefulness, though some might argue that domestic violence is a gender – or even primarily a women's issue. However, if such an indicator were to actually appear, its specific characteristics would be the best guide to its possible grouping with other constituent indicators of a Social Fabric Index or a Human Security Index.
HSI Component: Protection of, and benefitting from, diversity
Are people at ease, or not, because of their gender, age, place of origin, religion, other beliefs, educational status, economic status, so-called disability, or other characteristic that they are not abnormally pushing on others? (This is not an opportunity for people to attempt co-option of, or hegemony over, others' equally valued situations or beliefs.)
There is currently some challenge in representing this component of human security.
However, at least for gender, there is a good start. The global Human Development Reports place considerable focus on gender, as do some other organizations. However, HumanSecurityIndex.org currently believes that the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index may be the best candidate to use, at least for now. It is multi- faceted, and makes a good start at global "completeness" by covering many economies (134 in the latest release). It also appears to be amenable to conservative, as well as more radical, interpretation- discussion- strategizing- policies- and implementations.
All these considerations are important. A successful Human Security Index should facilitate a diversity of discussion, intercomparison of alternative strategies, and implementation plans which help everyone -especially those currently on the shorter sides of the "Security Divide" between the "Privileged", the "Semi-privileged and sort-of OK", and the "Marginalized and not OK" corners of society.
HumanSecurityIndex.org's long term hope is for a more inclusive indicator - crafted to represent the comfort (or lack of same) of an individual in a community, based on gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or other factor that could be (but hopefully is not) marginalizing – such as physical or other "disability."
Perhaps we can now try to craft some new indicators addressing this issue?
Components of the HSI
The broader HSI consists of components on
- Protection of, and benefitting from, diversity
- Peace
- Environmental protection
- Freedom from corruption
- Information empowerment
The links above contain discussions on individual components, and links to data and/or topical indicators used in the respective components.
If we have learned anything from three decades of indicator development, it's that every such indicator is imperfect. However, many indicators provide valuable platforms for discussion, strategizing on inputs / outputs (on improving the sources, components and HSI) and making progress on outcomes (in this case improved people-centric and community-centric human security).
These discussions will evolve over time. For the meantime, they are supplemented by the original and United Nations papers on the HSI, which further discuss the components, source materials, and formulas for deriving each component - and the HSI.
Here is a brief update on how these challenges are being addressed, as HSI Version 2 is being prepared for release later in 2010:
1. Data: Actually, there are quite a few datasets, and also thematic indicators, that are useful. Few cover over 200 countries, however, and HSI V2 is working to include as many as 230 countries. It is likely that some smaller countries, which are most often omitted from data and indicator compilations, may be included but may lack some of the input data. Though their HSI values would thus not be so rubust, those with a (group-determined) critical mass of input data are likely to be included. As all source data will be available, users will be able to evaluate how to treat each country's computed HSI.
2. Redesign: A seminar was held at the United Nations in Bangkok on 25 January 2010 (.ppt presentation here), followed by a redesign workshop on 2 February 2010. The latter was held at VietNam National University, and videoconferenced with Kyoto University. Participants from France, India, Japan, Thailand, USA, and VietNam participated in the workshop. Proposals were made to recast the HSI into three thematic sub-indices for Economic, Environmental and Social Fabric, and to approach the HSI in such a way as to have a global HSI to provide an overall analytical environment on human security at national to international scale, and at subnational to community level. It is noted that the "triple bottom line for 21st century business" of John Elkington is also constructed around economy, environment, and society.
Since then, the global HSI has been recrafted around such a trinity of economic, environmental, and social fabric. This was not particularly difficult to do, as the Social Fabric Index of the first prototype HSI contained an environmental component, and the egalitarian/inclusive HDI (which blended each component of the HDI with an equitibilty factor) contained in the release report for the HSI contained two key components of economic fabric: indicators of income, and of equality of income.
3. Strengthening thematic sub-indices: No dataset or indicator is perfect. Fortunately, a good base of data and indicators is available with which to formulate the HSI. This does not mean that the HSI could not be strengthened by the arrival of new datasets or indicators. An improved indicator of people's vulnerability to environmental situations would be welcomed, as would indicators of racial, ethnic, religious, age-based, "dis"ability-based and other diversity-related security among and within countries.
4. Equitability: This is a challenge, as few detailed global or even national datasets are available on this subject, consistently enumerating countries – let alone provinces/states or counties/districts. The Gini Coefficient, or some other indicator of income inequality, is one of the best – but where are the indicators of equality of access to education, health care, transportation, etc? The first two were polled by the World Economic Forum some years ago, but in the days when fewer than 100 countries were included in the WEF's Global Competitiveness Report. Of course, inequities between and within countries are apparent in the HSI and constitutent datasets, but it would be desirable to have additional inequities directly assessed, in a manner useful for decisionmakers to strategize improvements, as well as for the HSI.
HSI Version 2 is in preparation, for release later in 2010. In addition, subnational HSIs are being formulated for one high-HDI country and one moderate-HDI country. The two subnational HSIs are incorporating data as available for the respective countries, which have some overlap but also considerable differences. Nevertheless, the framework sketched above, with subindices for economic, environmental and social fabric, appears to accommodate such situations.

Tim Howard to take year off from U.S. soccer
Tim Howard, the longtime goalkeeper for the U.S. men's national team, plans to take the next year off from competing with the team but is not retiring, he announced on his Facebook page Thursday.
The 35-year-old will continue to compete for Everton of the English Premier League, but he will not be considered for selection to the U.S. roster until September of next year.
"As you may have heard, I have decided to take some time off from the U.S. Men's National Team in order to spend more time with my family," he wrote on his Facebook page. "Having played overseas for the last 12 years, making this commitment to my family is very important. I am grateful for the understanding of (U.S. coach) Jurgen Klinsmann who is affording me the opportunity to spend some much needed time with my kids and to have the opportunity to compete for a spot upon my return. I understand that I will have to earn my place with the team and in the lineup when I come back, and I look forward to doing that. Physically I feel as strong as ever, and right now my heart, mind, and body all feel good about continuing on with the national team for the next World Cup. It is difficult to predict the situation in four years but I know this decision is right for me today."
According to a release by U.S. Soccer, Howard and Klinsmann had "extensive conversations" before the decision was made, and Klinsmann supports the move.

Great project for kids.
My friend Ellen came over last weekend and as usual, we baked too much. She just started her own food blog Orange and Cardamom which you should definitely check out. She and I made several things including some bundt cakes which I will save for a later day. We had some extra batter and I thought of this great idea to make miniature colored cakes for Valentine's Day.
Like I said, this is really more of an idea than a recipe, but definitely worth sharing. I think we can all agree that anything mini is cute after all. For a while I have wanted to make mini-cakes as opposed to cupcakes. I happen to have a molten chocolate cake plan that we used to make these mini-cakes, but any small sized pan would work including individual ramekins. Ellen and I decorated all of these, but I think this would be a really fun project to share with kids. Just give each one a baby cake and let them go wild.
All you have to do is:
- Make your favorite vanilla/yellow/white cake recipe (or use a boxed mix)
- Divide the batter into separate bowls, a bowl for each color you want on your cake and mix with food coloring. We selected to leave part of the batter un-colored, part pink, and part red.
- Your favorite frosting and sprinkles.
- Layer the different colors of your cake batter into greased and floured pans and bake according to your recipe (you may have to reduce the time depending on what you bake these in so keep an eye on them)
- Decorate as desired.
Happy Valentine's Day!

This year's edition of the GT Academy, a long-running competition that has now been turned into a TV show, is in a bit of a mess after so many people were caught cheating the last round was called off.
First picked up last week, there was a "loophole" which users had discovered which allowed them to cut corners on the competition's chosen track. When organisers discovered this, another track was chosen instead, only...the same problem returned. People found that cutting corners was giving them an unfair advantage over those sticking to the track.
This being a game about racing on tracks, and not racing off roads, qualifying round 2 of the competition (we're obviously still in the online stage and not the "racing real cars on TV stage") has been scrapped entirely, all results binned, and all entrants will be moving onto round 3.
Polyphony Digital is now working on an update for the game that will hopefully curb this behaviour.
