Senate Democrats re-elected Sen. Reid (Nev.) to serve as majority leader while Sen. Durbin (Ill.) was re-elected as assistant majority leader and Sen. Schumer (N.Y.) as Democratic Conference vice chairman. Sen. Murray (Wash.) was re-elected as secretary of the conference and as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Democrats will control 55 seats to Republicans' 45 seats in the next Congress because two Independents - Sanders (Vt.) and King (Maine) - will caucus with Democrats.
Republican Senators re-elected Sen. McConnell to be the minority leader, but as a result of Sen. Kyl's (Ariz.) retirement, Republicans elected Sen. Cornyn (Texas) to serve as whip next year -- the second ranking Republican Senator. Sen. Cornyn will be succeeded as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee by Sen. Moran (Kan.) who announced that Sen. Portman (Ohio) will be vice chairman for finance and Senator-elect Cruz (Texas) will serve as vice chairman for grass-roots operations and political outreach.
Other Republican leaders will retain their current positions: Sen. Thune (S.D.) as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, Sen. Blunt (Mo.) as vice chair of the conference, and Sen. Barrasso (Wyo.) as chair of the Senate Republican Policy Committee.
House Republicans selected Rep. Boehner (Ohio) to lead their caucus and he will be re-elected Speaker when the House convenes in the 113th Congress in January. House Republicans re-elected Rep. Cantor (Va.) to return as majority leader and the third-ranking Republican, Rep. McCarthy (Calif.), will continue to serve as whip.
House Republicans also filled other slots in their leadership team. Rep. McMorris Rodgers (Wash.) defeated Rep. Price (Ga.) for the conference chairman post. Rep. Walden (Ore.) will chair the National Republican Campaign Committee and Rep. Lankford (Okla.) will be the Republican Policy Committee chairman.
Other Republican members of the leadership team for the 113th Congress include Rep. Jenkins (Kan.), conference vice-chair; Rep. Foxx (N.C.), conference secretary; Rep. Scott (S.C.), the sophomore class representative; Representative-elect Wagner (Mo.), freshman class representative; and Rep. Sessions (Texas), was picked by Speaker Boehner to become the new Rules Committee chairman. Other committee slots will not be decided until the Republican Steering Committee meets during the week of Nov. 26. However, Rep. Ryan (Wis.) received an endorsement from Speaker Boehner to continue to serve as House Budget Committee chairman.
House Democrats will not conduct their leadership elections until the week of Nov. 26, but Rep. Pelosi (Calif.) announced she intends to seek re-election as minority leader and is expected to be unopposed. Following her announcement, Rep. Hoyer (Md.), minority whip, and assistant leader Rep. Clyburn (S.C.) announced their intentions to seek re-election to their current posts as the second- and third-ranking House Democrats. They also are expected to be approved by the Democratic caucus the week of Nov. 26.
The major contested race in the Democratic caucus will be for vice chairman, a post being vacated by Rep. Becerra (Calif.), who is expected to move up to the caucus chairman post.

Collaborative text editing.
Share and Enjoy.
The app that started the collaborative editing revolution is back with a brand-new interface, ready for the future. Write articles, code, notes or meeting minutes with friends – where-ever they are.
Probably. However the name has been chosen to honor one of the greatest visionaries of computer supported collaborative writing, Douglas Adams, author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", one of the funniest and greatest books on earth. In his books he envisioned a travel guide for aliens, which was updated by multiple editors collaborating over the "SubEthaNet". SubEthaEdit is pronounced Sub-Etha-Edit. Sub like in "Subway", Etha like in "Ether", and Edit like in "Editor". In a previous life, before a trademark dispute, SubEthaEdit was called "Hydra".
Due to the rules of the Mac App Store, SubEthaEdit's command-line tool must be downloaded separately by clicking this link and double-clicking the resulting file.
Like the command-line tool, we have to ship this extension seperately. Please download this package, uncompress it and place the scpt file in your ~/Library/Application Scripts/de.codingmonkeys.SubEthaEdit.Mac folder. If you try to edit a file which requires the extension, SubEthaEdit will automatically open the Folder.
We will be collecting new and old modes at Github. Old modes might need to be slightly updated for SubEthaEdit 4.

City of Edmonton to award $50K in iPhone Apps Contest
The City of Edmonton, Alberta has announced plans to sponsor an application development contest. Scheduled to be formally announced later this month, the Apps4Edmonton contest will aim to encourage local iPhone developers to create apps that improve municipal information sharing and communications. The contest will offer $50,000 in prizes and the winning application will be showcased at the 2010 Canadian Government Technology Conference (GTEC) in Ottawa in October. Edmonton is also planning the launch of its own iPhone application, CityWatch to allow residents to report problems to 311 call centres. [via iPhoneinCanada.ca]
Birdfeed becomes Brizzly for Twitter
Thing Labs, developer of the Brizzly.com online Twitter and Facebook reader announced today that it has acquired the Birdfeed Twitter client from iPhone developer Buzz Andersen as the foundation for its new Brizzly for Twitter iPhone application. The original Birdfeed application has been removed from the App Store and the former home page for the app now simply displays an announcement from Brizzly informing users of the news and where to download the new Brizzly for Twitter application. The announcement notes that Birdfeed will continue to work for existing users but will no longer be supported or updated. The new Brizzly application provides support for multiple Twitter accounts, Twitter Lists, sharing of photos via Brizzly Pics or Flickr, saved searches, and integration with the Brizzly.com online reader. Brizzly for Twitter is available from the App Store as a free download.
Capcom releases Street Fighter IV
Capcom has released the highly anticipated Street Fighter IV for the iPhone and iPod touch. First announced last month, Street Fighter IV brings the popular console game to the iPhone and iPod touch with a user interface specifically redesigned for the touchscreen and the same visual style and artwork found in the current generation console game. Eight classic characters are available in the game, including Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Able, Blanka, M. Bison, Dhalsim, Guile and Ken and the game provides seven different playing environments. Familiar moves such as Unique Attacks, Special Moves, Focus Attacks, Super Combos and Ultra Combos are all present, and the game provides a "Dojo" mode to introduce new players to the game's moves and features. In addition to the standard single-player mode, players can choose to compete against other iPhone and iPod touch users over Bluetooth in a two-player head-to-head mode. Street Fighter IV is available on the App Store for $10.
reMail app released as Open Source
Following last month's acquisition of reMail by Google, developer Gabor Cselle announced today that he has released the reMail code under an open source license as he will be focusing on other projects at Google. After purchasing reMail, Google decided to discontinue the application and remove it from the App Store, although existing users who had already purchased the app were able to continue using it. Cselle writes in his blog that he has open sourced the code because he is passionate about mobile e-mail, and hopes "that developers interested in making email-related apps can use reMail code as a starting point." The source code for reMail is now available on Google Code as remail-iphone under the Apache 2.0 License.
Vlingo 2.0 adds voice-powered SMS and e-mail support
Vlingo has released a major update to its voice recognition application for the iPhone. Initially released in late 2008, Vlingo was one of the first voice-powered iPhone apps to allow users to initiate calls, search the web and Google Maps and compose Facebook and Twitter status updates using voice commands. Vlingo 2.0 adds support for dictating and sending e-mail and SMS messages by voice and a completely redesigned user interface to improve ease of use. Searching, updating Facebook and Twitter status and placing calls from the iPhone contact list remain free, however the new features for sending e-mail and SMS messages require an in-app purchase of $7 for one service, or $10 for both. Vlingo 2.0 requires an iPhone running OS 3.1.2 or later and is available on the App Store as a free download.
Netflix surveys interest in iPhone app
According to a recent report from Hacking Netflix, several Netflix users have received a survey suggesting that an iPhone streaming application may be in development. The survey describes a hypothetical iPhone app that would allow Netflix members to stream movies and TV show episodes over Wi-Fi at no additional fee and with no advertisements or trailers. The proposed application would also include the ability to fast-forward, rewind, pause and watch content again. Last fall Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told Reuters that an iPhone application is "likely to come over time" but that the company was not yet focusing on mobile solutions. Netflix has previously used surveys like this prior to releasing support for other platforms such as the PS3 and Wii. [via TechCrunch]
Report: Games are 58% of App Store, puzzles top genre
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week mobile app analytics startup Distimo presented a report with some comparisons on the relative size of the iPhone App Store and the popularity of different categories of applications. Distimo reports that games presently make up 58 percent of the applications on the App Store and breaks this down further by price, category and top sellers. According to the report, the Puzzles category is the largest, consisting of 15 percent of the games on the App Store, with the Action and Arcade categories in second place at 11 percent each. The categories with the fewest titles are Casino, Dice, Music, Racing and Role Playing, with each of these categories making up less than 2 percent of the total number of games.
The Distimo report indicates that the average price of a paid game in the App Store is $2.24, with the most expensive games being found in the Role Playing category at an average price of $7.96. The least expensive games are in the Action and Arcade categories with average prices of $1.68 and $1.39 respectively. By comparison, Distimo reports that 22 percent of the top grossing games are found in the Action category, with 12 percent in the Arcade category and 9 percent in the Adventure category. The report also notes that even though it has the most expensive games on average, the Role Playing category represents only 5 percent of the top grossing games, and the largest single category of games on the App Store, Puzzles, only accounts for 6 percent of the top-grossing applications. The full report can be downloaded from Distimo (free registration required). [via TechCrunch]
Adobe releases Connect Pro Mobile, built with Flash CS5
Adobe has released a new iPhone application for its Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enterprise web conferencing solution. Connect Pro Mobile allows iPhone users to watch and listen to live presentations including real-time meeting webcam video and screen sharing demonstrations. Mobile users can see a list of other meeting participants and collaborate directly with others using live text chat. Connect Pro Mobile was built using Flash Professional CS5 beta and published as a native iPhone application using Adobe's Packager for iPhone demonstrated last October. This marks the first Adobe-authored application to use this technology. Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Mobile is available on the App Store as a free download.
Square Enix releases Final Fantasy + Final Fantasy II
Square Enix has released iPhone and iPod touch versions of the first two games in its highly acclaimed Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II are role-playing adventure games where players guide a party of four characters around a magical world, battling creatures, meeting other characters and performing quests. The iPhone and iPod touch versions use a graphical style similar to the later PSP versions and both games include the bonus dungeons first found in the 2004 Dawn of Souls release. Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II are available separately from the App Store; each game sells for $9.
Ngmoco CEO discusses Freeverse, free-to-pay model
In a recent interview with Touch Arcade, ngmoco CEO Neil Young clarified the company's position on the recent acquisition of Freeverse and its move toward a new free-to-pay model. In discussing why ngmoco specifically chose to acquire Freeverse, Young described the company as "wonderful people" who "shared their vision and values." Young indicated that Freeverse will remain functionally independent and retain the Freeverse brand on their applications.
Discussing ngmoco's shift to a free-to-pay model, Young dispelled rumours that the move was in response to high piracy rates for iPhone games. Young described the move instead as a result of a combination of other factors, with the two main concerns being significantly higher download numbers for free applications and a general trend away from higher-priced premium games.

Daisy Mae returns to app store unchanged
At least one application has returned to the App Store unchanged following Apple's recent purge of "overtly sexual" content. IUGO's Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet was reportedly pulled from the App Store late last week as part of the culling of adult-themed apps. Daisy Mae is a B-movie style survival shooter game that contains a voluptuous lead character and some mildly risque elements.
Yesterday the game reappeared on the App Store, quietly reinstated without any changes from the original version. IUGO indicates that the game just quietly reappeared without any contact from Apple explaining the game's return. Further, the game now appears as a featured title with the App Store games section. [via Touch Arcade]
Ngmoco acquires Freeverse
TechCrunch reports that following a third round of venture capital funding, ngmoco has acquired iPhone game developer Freeverse. Ngmoco is known for such titles as Rolando, Eliminate and TouchPets, and has recently announced a shift to a free-to-play pricing model. By contrast, Freeverse has a staple of popular paid games including Skee-Ball, Flick Fishing and Moto Chaser. With this acquisition Ngmoco has confirmed that it plans to move these titles over to its free-to-play model whereby the games will be offered for free and revenue generated from in-app purchases instead. Ngmoco CEO Neil Young indicates that this business model has been working well for the company, and expects that ngmoco will release approximately 20 new games this year with the newly-acquired Freeverse team releasing about the same number.
Ngmoco shifts to free-to-play pricing model, shelves Rolando 3
Developer Ngmoco, known for popular games such as Rolando and Star Defense, is reportedly planning to shift to a "Freemium" pricing model for its game lineup, doing away with charging up front for titles. Already found in games such as Eliminate and Touch Pets Dogs, the free-to-play approach gives away the games for free and relies on in-app purchases to generate revenue by selling additional content and power-ups within each game. In an interview with Gamasutra, Ngmoco VP Alan Yu cited high piracy rates and the difficulty in selling iPhone games at higher price points as partial reasons for this change.
Unfortunately, the highly-anticipated Rolando 3 does not fit into this new free-to-play pricing model. Speaking with IGN, Ngmoco founder and CEO Neil Young indicated that Rolando 2 had not quite met the company's sales expectations and confirmed that Rolando 3 has been put on hold until such time as ngmoco could decide the best way in which to deliver the Rolando franchise effectively as free-to-play games. [via Touch Arcade]
Google acquires iPhone developer, pulls app from App Store
Google has purchased reMail, a mail account searching service, and has pulled the company's app from the iTunes Store. In an update on his personal blog, reMail founder and former Gmail engineering intern Gabor Cselle writes that "Google and reMail have decided to discontinue reMail's iPhone application, and we have removed it from the App Store… If you already have reMail, it will continue to work. We'll even provide support for you until the end of March, and we've enabled all paid reMail features for you: You can activate these by clicking 'Restore Purchases' inside the app. reMail downloads email directly from your email provider to your phone, and your personal information, passwords, and email are never sent to or stored on our servers." It is unclear whether Google has plans to re-launch the app under its own brand, or integrate the feature into its current Gmail service.
Namco's bizarre Noby Noby Boy debuts on iPhone, iPod touch
Whether you consider it a game or an odd little demo, Namco Bandai's Noby Noby Boy has been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch, and will arrive in the App Store roughly one year after its debut on the PlayStation 3. Developed by Keita Takahashi of Katamari Damacy fame, Noby Noby Boy similarly utilizes deliberately unfamiliar play mechanics and a galactic theme to attempt to hook players: Katamari titles involved rolling up balls of junk that eventually increased to planetary scale, and Noby Noby Boy places you in control of a worm-like creature named Boy who is stretched like an ever-expanding rope from a tiny centimeter size to eventually—with help from other players working collaboratively online—reach and unlock other planets. Unlike the joystick-based PlayStation 3 version, which the game oddly acknowledges in a text bubble "received a mixed reaction," the iPhone and iPod touch version has you touch Boy's left and right sides to stretch him out.
Decidedly experimental in design, the iPhone and iPod touch version of Noby Noby Boy incorporates a variety of fascinating iPhone OS 3.0 multitasking features, including a play mode that links Boy's stretching to your use of Google Maps, a button that lets you browse a collection of web sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google from within the game, and a floating music player that has album art for a torso and control buttons on its hands and feet. Camera modes enable you to take pictures to use as in-game backgrounds, and overlay the game on top of live video from the iPhone 3GS, as well. Namco Bandai also leverages social networking services to enable players to share their current progress with friends. The title is due to appear in the App Store soon, but pricing has not been announced. Additional screenshots can be seen by clicking on the title of this article.
Opera previews iPhone browser at MWC
Macworld UK reports that Opera has shown a preview of its iPhone browser at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Opera co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner briefly demonstrated the Opera Mobile for iPhone app, showing pages rendering very quickly due to page optimization on Opera's own servers. Tetzchner indicates that Opera "compress[es] data up to 90 per cent" and is claiming that Opera should be "up to six times faster on 3G networks." Other Opera Mobile for iPhone features include a tabbed browsing interface and support for saved passwords and bookmarks as well as the ability to automatically zoom in on text columns. Tetzchner notes that Opera has not yet been submitted to the App Store and speculation remains as to whether Opera Mobile will be accepted by Apple, although the new version of Opera has been written using native iPhone code rather than simply being a port of the original mobile app. Alternative browsers have been available on the App Store for almost a year, however Opera Mobile is unique in that it does not use the iPhone WebKit engine. Opera has not yet announced an expected release date for Opera Mobile for iPhone.
Street Fighter IV coming to iPhone
IGN reports that Capcom is planning a March release of Street Fighter IV on the iPhone and iPod touch. Reportedly still under development, the game is expected to be specifically optimized for the iPhone platform, with Capcom having taken a great deal of time and effort to develop controls suitable for the touchscreen interface. Further, Capcom plans to use artwork assets from the current generation Street Fighter IV code to provide a visual experience similar to the console version and has confirmed that both classic brawlers and new characters will be available in the game. Street Fighter IV will also support multiplayer gaming to allow two players to fight it out over Bluetooth just like the arcade and console versions. No specific availability date or price has yet been announced. More information and screenshots can be found on IGN.
Fring reports video calling accounting for 40% of traffic
Fring, developer of the popular Voice-over-IP communications app, has reported that mobile video calling now makes up more than 40% of its worldwide calling traffic among supported devices. Fring first introduced video capabilities last November, allowing users to conduct video calls with other fring users and Skype contacts from supported mobile devices, including the iPhone and iPod touch. The company reports even higher usage rates of 60% of call traffic throughout Western European countries—more than double the usage of leading PC-based video calling services. Fring is available as a free download on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch, however only incoming video is supported on these devices due to the lack of a front-facing camera.
Handbrake version 0.9.4 adds 64-bit support
Popular open-source DVD to MPEG-4 converter Handbrake has been updated to version 0.9.4. The new version offers a host of improvements, including speed, size, and quality improvements taken from the x264 project, support for 64-bit and parallel builds for added speed improvements on 64-bit capable machines, support for soft subtitles, a live preview feature, better input support, constant quality encoding which varies size to meet a given quality level, a new custom anamorphic mode, and more. Handbrake 0.9.4 is available now as a free download for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Windows XP or later, and Linux.
Palm introduces iPhone competitor Pre
Palm today introduced its latest handset, named the Pre. Featuring a 3.1-inch, 480x320 touchscreen, a dedicated gesture area below the display, a vertical slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and more, the device is aimed at the same market as the iPhone. Other technical features include high-speed wireless (EV-DO Rev. A or HSDPA, depending on the model and carrier), GPS, Wi-Fi, a 3-megapixel camera with LED flash, 3.5mm headphone jack, microUSB connector, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR with A2DP, 8GB of internal storage, an accelerometer, ambient light and proximity sensors, a removable rechargeable battery, and an optional wireless charger. Pre is exclusive at launch to Sprint.
The device runs Palm's new WebKit-based operating system, webOS. Designed for next-generation, touch-friendly devices, it offers many iPhone OS-like features, such as a full web browser, Exchange email support in addition to POP and IMAP, IM, MMS, and SMS messaging, and Palm Synergy, a new feature that aims to consolidate information like calendars, chats, and contacts from various sources in one place. Slated for release in the first half of 2009, no price has yet been set for the Pre. Initial impressions suggest that the phone is a large step forward for the company, which hired former Apple senior vice president Jon Rubenstein to develop its next-generation software and hardware in October 2007. Former Apple employees have reportedly joined Palm in significant numbers to aid Rubinstein in Pre's development.

Sound on sound and Computer Music rave over Toontrack products
SoundOnSound on EZdrummer
In the July issue of Soundonsound Magazine Paul White reviews Toontrack Music's dfh EZdrummer. The review is, to say the least, favourable, and White is positive about all the features from the quality of sound and their versatility via the user interface to the midifiles...
"adjusting the amount of room and overhead mics in the mix, you can get anything from a general-purpose miked acoustic kit suitable for most pop styles to a fairly brash rock kit."
"The sounds also work well when triggered from an external electronic drum interface such as Roland's V-drums."
"As to the user interface, that is now as simple and intuitive as you could hope for,"
"the vast majority of the midi drumpatterns are sensible variations on the bread and butter drum patterns."
He sums up EZdrummer like this,
"Given its low cost, great sounds, and ease of use, I can't see how EZ Drummer can fail to do well. There are no obvious alternatives for EZ Drummer, as most other drum virtual instruments are either philosophilcally different or more complex."
SoundOnSound on KORG pad Kontrol and dfh Superior
As if the great review for EZdrummer wasn't enough, in the same issue Nicholas Rowland reviews the KORG pad Kontrol and comments on the KORG edition of dfh-Superior like this,
"you'll find a special 'Korgified' version of Toontrack's well-respected DFH virtual drums software. It was my first encounter with this particular package, and I was mightily impressed. Toontrack's intent is apparently to give you the sound of drums as they are really played, and they seem to have achieved this, offering all the nuances and countless variations of tone that you get from a single drum. You can also play around with the virtual miking of your kit, even determining the extent to which the sound of a drum will bleed into the mics on the rest of the kit. Not only is this enough to give you a sense of just how good the program is, it also spectacularly showcases the padKontrols flam and roll functions. And of course, if you like what you hear, an included coupon gives you a discount off the full version."
Computer Music on EZdrummer - "Toontrack does for drum sampling what Stradivarius did for bowed instruments."
In the july issue of Computer Music Magazine EZdrummer gets 9 out of 10 plus the Performance and Value for money awards. The review finds EZdrummer virtually flawless, quoting;
"You're going to like this one. Seriously. You're really going to like this one. Irrespective of whether you're a computer music-making novice or a world-class record producer who flits between exotic studio locations on a water scooter,"
"Finally we should point out what an amazingly effective productivity tool EZdrummer is. Within literally seconds of starting a new project, you can be assembling a kick-ass drum track with perfect sound. Combine that with the option to expand the library with your own MIDI loops and Toontrack's forthcoming add-on drum packs, and you've got a winning solution which enables you to produce world-class results straight away."

I'm Asian and I avoid drinking milk because I will face a day of passing smelly gas frequently, which would make me quite unpopular, or worse with loose bowels. I diagnosed myself being lactose intolerant, the symptoms being quite clear and tested just how much dairy I could have before symptoms were bad enough. I was born in America, but my parents weren't, so I believe it's a hereditary thing.
I see some anime characters, Japanese ones, chugging it. I know some Asians aren't lactose intolerant... I used to eat cereal very frequently even not for breakfast. It wasn't until High School that I noticed the connection between milk and farting. I looked it up and later discovered the stereotype about large majority of Asians being lactose intolerant due to the lack of land to breed cows for milk.
Out of curiosity, I want to know how accurate the stereotype is. Do Japanese/Asians really do have a fair amount of dairy in their diets?
Info I found shows that certain ethnic groups are much more likely to become lactose intolerate which includes Africans, Native Americans, groups originating the Mediterranean (ie. Jews), along with Asians, up to 90% of which are reported to be lactose intolerant. People normally aren't born lactose intolerate, but it happens when they mature sufficiently. The gland the produces lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, is needed for mother's milk in mammals and is "on" when you are born. Later in life, it may slowly "shut off" when it's no longer needed.
Primary symptoms are:
* Abdominal bloating/cramps
* Diarrhea - which leads to dehydration, nausea, weight loss
* Gas (flatulence) - smelly ones
1 cup of cow's milk is enough to trigger symptoms in lactose intolerant adults, but fermented and process dairy products such as yogurt, ice cream, and cheese are more tolerable.
Link to one of the sites that support the stereotype:
Well Im Not Japanese,
But I Hate Milk,
I Can't Stand The Stuff.
Better To Live Than Be Alive-x
Milk is amazing. I have more than enough milk in my diet, but that's alright with me... ahh, I love you, milk.
Hope of my thoughts that I travel upon, fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone
I'm an Asian but i don't drink milk that frequently. I drink plain water more than any other drink LOL
Waiting for my Result~
males are more likely to become lactose intolerant as they get older.
I'm 85% asian lol, my life was depends on milk until I was abt 8 yrs old cuz I just couldn't eat proper food such as rice, noddles, potatoes, etc etc back then, so I only drink milk or eat anything with milk in it . And continues to drink milk "religiously" until today...well, I love milk...it helps me to live my life lol...
gyahahahahaha... *faint* XD
im half Japanese and i RARELY drink milk, but i love yogurt, cheese, calpis(lol), and other similar stuff...
There are Japanese people who hate milk, but they do get some calcium, vitamin d, and other minerals from rice, seafood, and variety of other foods....

Lin Ketong sexy chinese girl :)
Milk is amazing. Especially chocolate milk. <3
I haven't been on in a while. :( Sorry guys !.
It's not just Asians that have trouble digesting cow's milk, but Native Americans as well. I'm part Native American (aside from a handful of other ethnicities) and I haven't shown signs of lactose intolerance, but my brother and mother do and they get around it by drinking lactose free milk.
I ain't your maid!
i love milk. ;]~
DRINK IT 3 TIMES A DAY. :p
i love all dairy products. (cept maybe cheese)
im like 1/3 asian but i drink milk every day ._. (with cereal at least)
Rawr :3
I'm Asian, and I drink 3 glasses of milk every day. I love milk!
It's been fun.
I don't know what part of Asia you're from, but for me, I never knew Asians could be lactose intolerent. See picture above.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Dental Hygienist Fired Because She Was Pregnant and About to Go on Maternity Leave, Federal Agency Charged
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – An Indiana health care service corporation operating a dental clinic in South Bend violated federal law when it fired an employee because she was pregnant and about to go on maternity leave, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today. According to the EEOC's suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Indiana Health Centers, Inc., Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-412-PF), Indiana Health Centers, Inc. terminated a dental hygienist shortly after her supervisor learned she was pregnant.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, prohibits an employer from discriminating against an employee because she is pregnant. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC seeks back pay including pre-judgment interest, front pay, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as an injunction enjoining Indiana Health Centers, Inc., from engaging in further sex discrimination and requiring it to take other measures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination for current and future employees.
"Without warning, this employer joined the growing ranks of employers who refuse to heed the federal protection conferred on pregnant employees by federal law," said Laurie A. Young, regional attorney for EEOC's Indianapolis District Office. "The EEOC will continue to vigorously work to protect the rights of pregnant employees and educate employers that it is simply unlawful to discriminate against pregnant employees."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at: www.eeoc.gov.

Real Winner of Minnesota Cup Already Known
Benefits to state's entrepreneurial ecosystem go far beyond prize money.
From a pool of more than 1,000 entrepreneurs, the Minnesota Cup has selected nearly 50 who will continue in the semifinal round. Regardless of which ideas claim the competition's $185,000 in prize money, the real winner will be Minnesota's economy.
Now in its 7th year, the Minnesota Cup is a statewide competition that seeks out aspiring entrepreneurs and their breakthrough ideas. It was co-founded by University of Minnesota graduate Scott Litman, '90 B.A., an entrepreneur who grows fledgling businesses into industry powerhouses.
The idea for the competition traces back to Litman's participation in a national competition held by Apple shortly before he graduated from the University.
"It was instrumental in helping me meet people, develop connections, and allowed me to start my entrepreneurial path," says Litman of the Apple competition.
Litman realized budding entrepreneurs in Minnesota could benefit from a similar experience.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and thought wouldn't it be great if we could pay it forward and create something that was for Minnesota entrepreneurs only?" he says.
Litman and his partner at Magnet 360, Dan Mallin, '95 CEMBA, approached the Carlson School of Management, the Governor's Office, and Wells Fargo and the idea became a reality--one that has grown every year. Since 2005, the Cup has received more than 5,000 entries, past finalists have received more than $30 million in private equity funding and created scores of jobs, and perhaps most importantly, the competition has created an environment in which the state's startups can succeed.
"We're really trying to help the entrepreneurial ecosystem. We're trying to make Minnesota a better place to build businesses," says Litman. "Only a small number of participants will receive cash prizes. But the mentors, the networking, and the seminars will impact a great number of people."
"It's not just the winners who gain from it," says John Stavig, professional director of the Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship which organizes the event. "Every year, people who didn't win have given us feedback that it has been really helpful for them to go through the process of planning for their business, to have some deadlines, and to meet people."
Through the Holmes Center, semifinalists are paired with one or two mentors who are experienced, serial entrepreneurs. In addition to mentoring, the Minnesota Cup and its professional services partners conduct events on topics such as developing business plans, raising capital, and improving presentation skills.
"Becoming connected with local professionals and other entrepreneurs and having a network of people who could help them in the business were a lot more valuable than the prize money," Stavig adds.
Having attended the Carlson School's Undergraduate and MBA programs and having worked with Stavig, Ben Bowman knew participating in the Minnesota Cup could be a boost to his new venture, General Blood, LLC.
"I think it's a great way to hone what your value proposition is, what you're really trying to do in the market," says Bowman. "Going through the process of the plan and the essays, even if you've been working an idea for years, makes you focus. Plus the networking is a big deal."
In many respects, competing in the Minnesota Cup reminds Bowman of being back in school.
"Once you've been through the MBA program at Carlson, everything starts to look like a case study," he says. "And the Minnesota Cup is a lot like a case study on steroids."
Regardless of the final outcome, Bowman already considers his company a winner.
"Just getting this far is recognition that we could be part of health care solution in reducing costs and improving care."

Post-holiday youth spiritual event returns for sixth consecutive year
More than 2,000 youth and adults from across the U.S. and Canada will return to Niagara Falls for the Joshua Revolution 2012 conference, "Niagara '12 The Last Trump," from Dec. 27-31. For the first time in six years, the event will be a five-day conference.
This is the sixth consecutive year Niagara USA has hosted the Joshua Revolution and, for the second time, the conference is completely free to attend.
"Niagara '12 The Last Trump" will include junior and senior high school student participants who will attend a series of "Power Sessions" featuring speakers and worship leaders from across the country. Keynote speakers include Gabriel Swaggart, Andrew Leeuw (from Johannesburg, South Africa), Loren Larson, Marlene Klepees (who was miraculously healed of cerebral palsy at the age of 19) and many others.
"For the first time in its history, the Niagara youth conference is being extended one day longer and we could not be more excited," said Mike Chorey, director of Joshua Revolution. "The theme of Niagara '12 is 'The Last Trump.' The Bible says just before Jesus comes for his church the trump will sound, and we believe that time is very near. Niagara '12 is focused on proclaiming the message of the cross to over 2,500 young people, youth leaders and families, and preparing them for the soon return of Jesus Christ."
"Niagara '12" will close with a prayer walk on Dec. 31 at 9:30 a.m. Youth and adults will meet for an outdoor rally and time of prayer on Old Falls Street, and then walk from the Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls down to Niagara Falls State Park.
Over the course of the conference, the Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls and participating hotels, including Quality Inn Niagara, Sheraton at the Falls, Comfort Inn "The Pointe" and Holiday Inn Niagara Falls, will be utilized, resulting in approximately 897 room night reservations, with about 245 hotel rooms filled on peak nights of the convention.
"We look forward to another successful conference and continued relationship with Joshua Revolution," said John Percy, president and CEO of the Niagara Tourism & Convention Corp. "Their annual conference contributes to our local economy and hoteliers during the holidays, a commonly quiet time for the tourism industry."
Joshua Revolution is a city-reaching organization that works with the local church in assisting in evangelism, discipleship and outreach. Having been to five different cities since 2001, Joshua Revolution has reached more than 100,000 young people and adults through conferences and crusades since its inception in 1993.

These are the 23 Senators that introduced a bill to let telecoms sell your private internet historyShare Tweet Plus
Protection of your Internet history is up in the air thanks to new, pending legislation. A new bill coming before Senate aims to completely dismantle the FCC's ability to enact data security or online privacy protections for consumers under the powers of the Congressional Review Act. Senate Joint Resolution (S.J.Res 34) was introduced by Arizona Senator Jeff Flake and cosponsored by 23 other Senators. Its goal is to remove all the hard-earned net neutrality regulations gained to protect your internet history from advertisers and and worse. Specifically, the FCC had been able to prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from spying on your internet history, and selling what they gathered, without express permission. This legal protection on your internet history is currently under attack thanks to these 23 Senators and lots of ISP lobbying spend. While S.J.Res 34 has support from two dozen Republican Senators, Senators willing to champion the privacy of Americans' internet history have also come out of the woodwork.
The House version of this bill is H.J.Res 86.
These 23 Senators want to let your internet history be sold
The list of 23 Senators cosponsoring this bill, including Senator Jeff Flake, is:
– John Barrasso (R-Wyo.)
– Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.)
– Roy Blunt (R-Mo.)
– John Boozman (R-Ark.)
– Shelly Moore Capito (R-W.Va.)
– Thad Cochran (R-Miss.)
– John Cornyn (R-Texas)
– Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)
– Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
– Deb Fischer (R-Neb.)
– Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)
– Dean Heller (R-Nev.)
– James Inhofe (R-Okla.)
– Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.)
– Mike Lee (R-Utah)
– Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
– Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
– Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)
– Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)
– Dan Sullivan (R-Ala.)
– John Thune (R-S.D.)
– Roger Wicker (R-Miss.)
– Jerry Moran (R-Kan.)
Some politicians understand that S.J.Res 34 is a step back for Internet privacy
Today, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai appeared before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee for a hearing about Oversight of the FCC. While online privacy was not much on the agenda, it was very much on the minds of many Senators that oppose the end of net neutrality. Afterwards, according to PC World's Grant Gross, Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey said:
"I fear [the privacy rollback] is just a preview of coming attractions. Big broadband companies don't want to give consumer privacy protections the attention they deserve."
Senator Markey also issued a statement specifically against Senator Flake's resolution blocking FCC regulation of ISPs:
"Consumers will have no ability to stop Internet service providers from invading their privacy and selling sensitive information about their health, finances, and children to advertisers, insurers, data brokers or others who can profit off of this personal information, all without their affirmative consent."
In a separate statement, Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz said:
"If this [resolution] is passed, neither the FCC nor the FTC will have clear authority when it comes to how Internet service providers protect consumers' data privacy and security."
The end goal of passing ISP regulation onto the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will require further Congressional action, another privacy damaging step that is inevitably coming this year. Private Internet Access is supporting the EFF in calling all Americans to heed the call: "Don't let Congress Undermine Our Online Privacy." When S.J.Res 34 comes to a vote, make sure to take note of which Senators vote which way. It is important to hold politicians accountable for their stances and their actions.

"If this [resolution] is passed, neither the FCC nor the FTC will have clear authority when it comes to how Internet service providers protect consumers' data privacy and security."
Probably a lot of bullshit clogging the drain of the swamp. Hopefully will get cleared soon. Fucking vampires. As much as I hate Trump, he was right about Washington being full of special interests.
Under Obama, the FCC passed new rules to restrict Internet providers from sharing users information with 3rd parties without the users consent. However, Trump's new FCC chairman has removed those restrictions. So much for draining the swamp…. http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0301/DOC-343702A1.pdf
Yep. It's his bullshit clogging the drain.
Trump IS the swamp. He is corruption incarnate.
Trump is "the swamp's" biggest defender.
You seriously need to read the bio of every single one of his cabinet pics, and then re-evaluate your perception that the swamp is being drained. There isn't a single one of them who hasn't worked for some type of special interest group in the past.
Lol. Sarcasm much? He's the bullshit clogging the drain.
It's hard for me to disseminate between sarcastic Trump comments and real ones because they all sound completely ridiculous to me, lol.
"He believes that the world is moving towards a better tomorrow, bit by bit by Bitcoin."
I can't take the author seriously now.
I think you meant this for another article.
It's quoted from the author's profile text.
Ad hominum attack much?
this isnt ad hominem; this is a criticism of ideologies. is it irrelevant to the article? kind of, however it is not ad hominem.
journalistic integrity is important, as bias in any direction on the authors part can (and unfortunately does) often lead to biased, incomplete, or downright deceitful reporting. the ideologies of an author are likely to lead them to suggest opinions, rather than report facts.
this article does suggest that readers hold opinions and take stances, which isnt very objectively-good reporting. i agree with the messages in the article, but they are quite obviously biased towards consumer-friendly regulations.
suggesting that the authors beliefs (in this case an assumed faith in decentralized currencies) influence their stance and the opinions they suggest is not ludicrous.
of course, this is assuming that piltdown means they cant take the author seriously because of their beliefs. they may be saying they cant take them seriously because 'bit by bit by bitcoin' is a tad bit corny.
"Journalistic integrity" is an awfully wide justification to attack the author rather than the content. That is exactly ad hominem. The author's stance on bitcoin has no direct impact on the substance of the article.
Furthermore the author does state an opinion, but also provides primary sources, in particular the bill itself. Not all reporting must be objective.
John Jaingle
I am shocked to see Rand Paul on that list. I liked him and his father. Now he can go to hell with Clinton.
Of course Rand Paul is on that list. This is exactly the kind of policy he advocates: removing regulations, even if those regulations protect people. Rand Paul doesn't want the government meddling in your life. He also doesn't want the government meddling with corporations to stop them from meddling in your life.
If this surprises you, then you never understood Rand Paul, his father, or the politicians like them.

And someone will offer a service that promises NOT to sell your data on all TOR routers for 5 dollars more a month…and people will buy it.
Thats how markets work.
But today you don't get TOR routers because its more expensive.
Scientific Squirrel
And the govt sits on the backbone eavesdropping on your packets.
Rand Paul is consumer driven.
Govt protection isn't always protective of technology.
ATT monopoly prevented new phones for over 50 years.
Packet encapsulation capability has existed since the 40s.
Lamar the actress holds the patent on it.
How can you be shocked, he is part of the party for the haves and don't want others to have
Scientific Squirrel
The govt is NOT about you having that is for sure.
Robert Kerns
How about all these Republican sell outs can go to hell along with Paul Rand!
If you use OpenDNS, your ISP really doesn't know anything about your online activity.
Scott V
That is not true at all, just because you dont use their DNS servers, all traffic runs through their network, hence why your external IP resides inside your ISP's subnet.
Scott V
Sorry about posting info without additional info, the only way around this is to use a VPN connection with end to end encryption.
This is not true. Your ISP will still see your internet activity even if you use a different name server. Your computer goes through your modem and the next several hops belong to your ISP. They can track what your requested destination is.
Look at those shameful Republicans that Trump is being forced to work with. These folks on the list are the opposite of POPULISTS. Trump needs Democrats to come to his side especially when he needs support for TARIFFS and reviving the American Industrial Sector/MAGA.
Democrats, I supported Bernie and then switched to Trump. There are millions of folks just like me who don't see the party affiliation as central but who want an America First policy that is good for American Workers, the refuse of the world be damned! Come over to The Donald! He needs the Pro-Worker Democrats in his coalition.
Jill Anne McVey
what the hell does any of this have to do with rolling back internet privacy?
stop threadshitting.
I am pointing out that the folks that are Anti-Populist are the folks the Democrats are forcing Trump to have to work with. This list is all Republican.
I'd be happy to join the Trump side if he supported even a fraction of the policies that Bernie did. Trump 100% supports this Senate resolution, and his FCC appointee has made clear that he intends to completely squash all policies and regulations that come close to net neutrality.
Trump's entire populist platform is a ruse. Many of his closest advisors and cabinet picks are picked straight from the Goldman Sachs executive office and resolutions like this and the recent financial regulation repeals are just the start of a massive shift of power and wealth to big business and global elites he pretended to be fighting against.
"Open Borders is a Koch Brothers Program" – Bernie Sanders.
Shirley Lane
Can you show us where his policy is reverting to anything even close to public good?
Actually, Shirley, that would be the chore of those who advocate for open borders to prove their case that mass illegal immigration is a net benefit for this generation and generations to come.
For, as you know, it is impossible to prove a negative and that is why the burden of proof is on those making positive, not negative, claims.
I will say this though. Since Reagan's amnesty the US Work force has seen little to no wage advancement, rise in purchasing power and the gap between rich and poor as grown. Cheap labout/(oversupply of labour) in the setting of limited jobs is bound to do that based on a classical understanding of economics. There has been 3+ decades of no real wage increase. This is a problem.2 years ago
Linda Reid
overdose alert …you drank too much of the kool-aid and you have stopped all reasonable thinking. You don't really believe that "The Donald really cares about the American Worker. His cabinet is made up of Reitbart,Wall Street …and Goldman Sax big shots …men that never really did one day of hard labor….sat in executive offices of banks and insurance companies …led up hedge funds to make themselves richer. They get all the tax break and you get your pensions sold out from under you. You get to be unemployed …you get to work for less than half of what you used to make and are expected to thank him. He wont ever raise the minimum wage yet he gives the very rich 200 thousand dollar tax break. Open your eyes . He betrays America to please Russia …for money and the right to do business with them. So he can get richer. Not to enrich your life or the lives of people you care about.He pretends to care about Veterans but didnt listen to them when they wanted the same guy in charge of Veteran's affairs.He has allotted nothing to aid Military families. Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump …you are just important at election time .
Raising the minimum wage is a BAD way to raise wages. The way the US raised up a middle-class was not by minimum wages! Come on! You use supply and demand curves to generate wage growth.
The way you raise wages is that you restrict cheap labour, stop what Bernie called the "Koch Brothers Program" of open borders and H1B visa scabs, and you force industry back to the USA (and thus increase job demand) via the return to TARIFFS which once were a mainstay of US Trade policy for over 200years.
And all you have is a tribal affiliation with the Democrat Party and insults about kool aide? It is you who know too little making you vulnerable to bad ideas.
Yeah, actually the middle class was largely built on Union labor, which, by the way WAS minimum wage. Check your history of labor in the 50's and 60's
BINGO! I totally agree. And FDR kicked out the Mexican laborers in the American South West. Don't leave that out of the equation.
Limiting the workforce and allowing for collective bargaining in the setting of TARIFFS = MIDDLE CLASS.
All of those features are required to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Write to President Trump and remind him that Union labour was a key to his victory.2 years ago
Pierre-Antoine Winter-Samary
How can you expect people like those that Trump chose to work with, people who have always been great promoters of globalization, how can you expect one single second those people to bring work back to the US and to care about US workers?
" how can you expect one single second those people to bring work back to the US"
I don't expect "those people" to do that. I expect the WALL and Border Enforcement and the reinstatement of TARIFFS to raise up the prosperity of the American work force. Those policies are what have to happen for MAGA to occur. TARIFFS and the limiting of labour to Americans is the key.
Did Trump choose the folks who will get that done? Maybe. Maybe not. But your intransigence as a Democrat to any policy with Trump's name attached is an evil. It is a substitution of tribalism for principles. I hope you can see that and be the change you demand of others.2 years ago
The first mistake you made was in thinking that Hillary was not pro worker and that's why we have Trump who can't seem to find his ass with both hands and a road map and all thanks to you you stupid arsed berniebro.
> Hillary was not pro worker
Hillary was "pro" just one thing and that was Pro-Hillary. You would have to be blind not to see the past 4 decades of neoLiberalism as anything other than anti-American Worker.
I can see that your delusion is deep seated. If you even half assed an investigation into Hillary you'd have found your claim not to be true.
She was pushing open borders, Globalism, and the TPP. Hillary = Bill = Obama = Jeb = George = Ryan on the topic of pushing globalism and corporatism. What you folks are engineering is a self fulfilling prophecy of Trump working with the worst corporatists, The Republicans, the people who AlSO opposed him. Instead of extending an olive branch on issues we should have mutual agreement on, you crafted a Hitler narrative about Trump which now prevents you from seeing what might be in your own best interests.
It is tragic.
RNC = DNC. They are playing Good Cop/Bad Cop. If that has not yet occurred to you then I hope it will sometime soon.2 years ago
Matthew Klumper
Novictim is not a Bernie supporter and never has been. He thinks that he can play the part and try to get millennials to go along with Trump's auctioning of America to the highest bidder because he seems to think that they don't have a grasp of the issues at hand or an understanding of the bullshit that Trump is trying to pull.
You sir, are a complete imposter, and no one believes your bullshit. Go try to sell the virtues of Trumpism somewhere else.
Democrats support Trump?. I"m thinking when hell freezes over. Trump is in the processes of burning everything that the Democrats stand for, safety net, lower student loans, health care, and then he accuses Obama of a Felony. Get real, Donald will burn you up just as well.
"Democrats stand for"
Open Borders? Islamization? The out-sourcing of Jobs? H1B Visa throat cutting of the professional classes?
Why the hell would any decent American support any of these things? The DNC is RNC lite. Trump is not either of these. The sooner you drop your tribal affiliations and identify what is actually good for your fellow Americans, the better.

Fake Post!

fake post? no this is a real bill and those named above really did sponsor it. I can understand your problem Tin Man, your a trump voter and you hate how he's raping you. Shhh it's ok snowflake just remember You wanted this all of it.
Fake Post. Did you up vote yourself? 1-0

Good lord, try using your keyboard to type something useful, like "Joint resolution 34 2017" into Google.

Huge megacorporations and multinationals getting what THEY want in government over what THE PEOPLE want? My word… These upside-down commie corps need to be reigned in.
Fred Fredburger
did you call corporations upside down communists? lmfao THIS is exactly the type of things corporations do when they have no one to answer to. This is pure Capitalism.
Capitalism? More like corporatism… In capitalism, corporations answer to us – we bare the responsibility to make it happen through our wallets and the courts if needed. That is NOT what is happening, we currently have the corporations CONTROLLING the government because the government has power that can be purchased.
Pierre-Antoine Winter-Samary
No, that is exactly what capitalism is and has always been.
Capitalism never was accountant to the people.
Where there's muck, there's geldt. Look that up.
Capitalism never has and never will serve the working class – or, even, other than incidentally, the middle class. The middle class has existed at the pleasure of the "upper" classes and always has.
Where the aristocracy, or in our case the 1% – because it's now all about how much money you have and not at all about your genetic lineage – wants to allow the middle class to exist, it will.
But as now, where it finds the middle class an impediment, as the current administration does, the middle class – or all but the very upper echelons of it, that the upper class finds useful – will be decimated.
The information is incomplete. Their personal home address as well as the floor plans should also be posted.

Hmm that might put a damper on things like their Alt-Right buddies. Of course Republicans never think things through they just do what their donors tell them to do.
Bill Metrey
I thought that Republicans traditionally preached less government intrusion. I am believing that most of them are seriously dysfunctional.
Joffre (J.D.) Meyer
True this is terrible, but you have to be prudent in what you type or follow on social media. Don't say anything obscene, or follow back R-rated or worse Twitter sites that follow you first. For one thing, those classy cyberspace friends (including beloved Twitter Crushes) could drop you. If these right-wingers don't like me because I'm liberal and celebrate such causes, then they need to get over it.
Matthew Klumper
Go fuck yourself.
I don't actually mean that, I just wanted to write something obscene.
Arkansas doesn't have three senators. Dan Sullivan is from Alaska.
Where is the bill to get Trump's taxes released to the public?
…enemies foreign and "domestic." Italy dealt with their Nazis and a dictator. Does the US have what it takes?
Josh McGhee
I would LOVE to see a massive rollout of Tor routers, I mean on a grade scale to the point that the majority of U.S. Internet traffic would be encrypted and obfuscated. "You want to sell out our privacy? Fine, then we'll all take it back. What now, bitches?"
That is exactly what will happen. Tor routers, new browsers, the works.
Tell you what Senators… Let me have YOUR browsing history from all of YOUR computers (even the one you have stashed) and then we'll talk
Now would be a good time to start an ISP that is committed to not collecting this data
Matthew Klumper
See my post above about non-competition contracts.
You are right about that. What I'm thinking is a company that provides 4G LTE unlimited data plans using a compatible router or smart phones as an access point. Of course, whoever owns the cell towers could still collect and sell data. Maybe it is time for some new sort of Internet. In urban areas, a free network could be made by meshing together a bunch of wireless routers.
Mesh Networking could be a solution if it wasn't already regulated to the point where it's not a viable option. Last Mile ISPs have already covered their asses on that. Remember, ISPs think that government regulation is BAD unless they're using it to eliminate or reduce competition.
Yep, and as for the 4G LTE -the wireless carriers have purchased the majority of that portion of the radio spectrum from the FCC. The only frequencies that you can transmit without a license have severe limitations on the amount of effective radiated power (ERP)that you can run. Even having an Amateur Radio license that allows you to run a significant amount of power limits you to non commercial traffic (AKA almost anything online)
STEP1: Remove any chance of competition
STEP2: Reject any legislation that might get in your way
STEP3: $$$$$$$$$$$$$2 years ago
Tony Da Costa
You guys need to print out this sj res 34 so it can be read to understand what it is. We are only getting your interpretation of it. I don't believe that all these guys would be anti-citizen as you state. there is something else here you are not emphasizing.
Matthew Klumper
They aren't "Anti-citizen" they're Pro-Corporation.
They believe that the government should not be able to restrict how ISP's decide to make money. Even if it's in a completely abhorrent manner like selling off private information, their response is always the same BS about how if consumers don't like it they can just use another provider.
The problem for many, is that they can't. In rural USA most towns have a single internet/cable provider. Because the provider made the city sign a contract with them saying that they would install the distribution infrastructure if the city would restrict any other cable/internet providers from entering into the city. That sounds reasonable enough at first, but what usually happens is they give kickbacks to the city and persuade them to sign non-competition contracts over and over and over. So there's no hope of ever getting another provider in there to drive down cost. Why do you think they usually need your address before they can quote you a price? Because they take the people who don't have a choice for as much as they can.
Shirley Lane
Because of their policies of allowing monopolization of corporations.
How much where they Bribed?
Shirley Lane
Yep. You can ALWAYS follow the money when and Ds or Rs make bad policy decisions for the rest of us. Always.
Scientific Squirrel
This is actually the right policy choice.
I want TOR services to be built.
–It's not a step -back- because they never had such liberty to peer into your browsing. It's a step DOWN. More like a leap. Into hell.
–That being said, though, know that if you're not blocking and removing various current tracking cookies, LSO cookies, web beacons and other lovely bits of code that betray your movements online, they already know everything you do.
–Time to learn about trackers, web beacons, blocking cookies, LSO cookies and more, as well as fight like hell against this.
Who do you think will win? people are so gullible, they all be sucked in by the innovation of technology, look at how they get in line for days, to buy a 700 dollar phone, the same phone that is tracking them, they do not care, they want to have it, and as this crap progresses, the surveillance gets deeper and harder to fight, we do not have any info, they keep it under control, ignorance is a bliss, we all like the net, we like to know the true, but, when and where is the limit to what they do to us, how can you fight something you do not see or know about it.
Scientific Squirrel
they look today. just saying. without encryption you are actively being punked.
Benjamin Jason Tift
no one cares if the isp LOOKS we care if they SELL our personal info
Bill Richardson
If you have an (R) next to your name, you're basically a piece of shit.
Scientific Squirrel
Umm no.
Benjamin Jason Tift
um yes

Tor + VPN = fuck you, Republicans.
Yeah that's kind of their point. Go to the market. The privacy protected, free internet doesn't exist.
Rod Quigley
"Net neutrality" is about privacy? Welcome to the wonderful world of the lunatic left! "Net neutrality" is about guaranteed bandwidth to a few large content companies like Netflix. So, the large companies pay your ISP for preferential treatment and increased bandwidth leaving smaller companies to choke and die on what is left. Privacy, what schmucks.
I have been considering subscribing to a privacy minded VPN. I will probably sign up sooner rather than later now that I have read this.
Baron Indigo
Yep, once,[if…..sigh] Trump signs it, then look out. Torrent Freak has a great list of VPNs compared. Check it out!!! https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-services-anonymous-review-2017-170304/

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Hi folks, As a follow-up to my email in December (see below) I would like to thank all of you that responded. Your feedback was very much appreciated and also very encouraging! Interestingly, the overall response in terms of numbers was minimal. I assume that some did not read the previous email and others were not able or willing to respond for various reasons. At the same time, I also assume that the biggest majority is not interested in this approach since they don't attend the annual AMSAT meeting either. Consequently, I will not pursue this idea any longer at this time and focus on other activities. However, I am still interested in working within a team to develop some sort of educational program within AMSAT if that is of interest. Thanks again. It was an eye opener. 73, Stefan VE4NSA ................. Thanks everyone. The comments (primarily offline) to my first post on the existence of the "Orbital Classroom" just pointed to the perceived sad state of education within AMSAT. Now, we can whine and do nothing or maybe put our heads together and see what there is to do. The first thing is to gauge the level of interest. I and others will NOT engage in this without some significant feedback from the members and those that are interested in amateur radio and satellites and education. Here are a few questions and I would kindly request your thoughts on these. 1. Would you be interested in attending pre-conference courses and workshops as part of the annual meeting or at other venues? 2. Would you be willing to pay a registration fee that would cover course material, instructor cost etc.? 3. Would you be interested in receiving a certificate for ongoing education as it relates to amateur radio and satellites? 4. What topics would you like to see taught at such courses? 5. Would you be willing in helping to organize and facilitate courses (you don't have to teach for this one, just help the instructor and take care of registration, etc)? 6. Would you be willing to teach a course and if yes, on which topics? That's a start and hopefully it sparks your interest as a participant, facilitator or instructor. Please email me your responses offline (don't hit the reply all button) and I will compile the answers in a response to the board and this mailing list. FYI, I have been asked to organize and coordinate these efforts. First of all, I will NOT assist, organize and/or coordinate these efforts unless I have equal partners in assisting and helping. Secondly, AMSAT has an official "Director of Education" who needs to be involved and work on this (with our help if necessary). This person serves at the discretion of the AMSAT president and I have no intention to do his work. Hope this helps to clarify positions and responsibilities! For now, it is time for the members to voice their needs for education and define if this is relevant or not. Folks, here is your opportunity! Some of us are listening and working on this. Let us know if you want this or not by answering the questions above. As always, your opinion counts and even more your help is greatly appreciated. Have a Merry Christmas, a wonderful holiday season and an even better 2008. My best wishes to you and your families. 73, Stefan VE4NSA _______________________________________________ Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

– The Rock spoke with CBS Cleveland reporter Chris Van Vliet to promote Fast 6 and says he's confident his last wrestling match was against John Cena at WrestleMania 29.
Rock called WrestleMania 29 a dream scenario but had this to say about his most recent run with WWE:
"The 4 month run I had in WWE was really eye opening. I was able to see a lot of young talent that are very hungry and very humble. What's interesting is there were some talent there who, it's just the nature of the business, have become very sour grapes and miserable. The younger guys were very excited and there was that hunger that reminded me of myself 10 to 15 years ago when I first started."
Rock also gave props to The Shield, Fandango and more. You can see the interview below:

Played for 2 years. Sadly, got bored of it....
Stalking you.
I play but I never bother to do too much intricate construction.
My greatest home was a pyramid in a desert that was between two NPC villages. The pyramid was at least 20 or so blocks tall in the middle of a lake, made entirely of sandstone, and had a glass tip. The interior of the pyramid contained three above-ground floors and a ladder for climbing up to the glass top, where you could look out over the desert. The bed was at the glass top floor.
It also had one subterranean floor, which I used as a storage area. Behind the storage area was a large chamber that I left dark on purpose so monsters could spawn in there for me to kill. Basement was storage, first floor had a pool for fishing, second floor was the crafting room, third floor was where I hung all the paintings. If you count the glass top bedroom as a floor, I guess it's fourth.
Usually, I prefer constantly moving around, exploring dungeons and caves with friends and sailing across huge bodies of water. I only have homes near the beginning, when I need to gather enough iron and food to make my nomadic adventures sustainable.
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
I make tons of new worlds all the time. I never manage to finish building anything, but building is actually my favorite part of minecraft.
Here's a few pictures.
A castle town I was building for a server.

If you do get bored, there is always mods and servers to out for
I used to play so much, I shall have to resurrect my server sometime over summer.
I sitll play it alot. I love the game. I got it for Xbox 360, Android and PC. Had it for PC for close to 2 years now.
Hidden in the shadows, as close as winds are to your skin
I love minecraft! ♥_♥ I managed to get my entire family addicted to it along with my Uncle and Grandpa.
*cackles evilly*
I haven't played as much though I wouldn't mind joining a +18 server but I have been messing around with Technic a lot lately. It's fun~
That girl you called fat? That's Quentin Tarantino.
I played for a while a couple years ago but only single player survival, and only one world so far. Still I quite liked the first place I carved out of the rock in that world. I uploaded a whole tour in a photo gallery.
Some of the nicer parts though:

I've played Minecraft for about a year. Usually I'm on the private Bukkit server we've setup on the Mystic Island Games server. Its only accessible here at our home or via a private, encrypted company VPN.
When we first got into Minecraft, me and my roommate (the owner of Mystic Island Games, LLC), we built a huge undersea dome in Survival Mode on a vanilla Minecraft server without any mods. We nearly emptied an entire desert collecting enough sand to displace the water and make all of the glass.
Now we use Bukkit and several mods including Multiverse, Multiverse Portals, and a few others I don't remember off hand. One lets us fly in Survival Mode, still doesn't save us from Creepers. I really hate those things. The front of my place is guarded by several Iron Golloms penned in with fences so they don't wander off. Over a jungle I've build a city in the sky, which is connected to my first build via a long rail system, and the different sections of the sky city are connected via rail.
I love Minecraft. I first started playing it back in classic, and I so often found myself drawing up blue-prints for it at work. I eventually got minecraft-burnout, but there was no question I would eventually come back to it. I still play quite a bit now, but no one I know ever wants to play anymore, so it gets a tinge.... lucky that my internet sucks I guess? Man, I fail at optimism
Don't move, or else I will be forced to talk you to death! ;)
I love and play Minecraft. Been playing for almost two years now. I play Classic, Bukkit, and Tekkit. I love the cooperative building community. All the creative ideas of multiple people coming together into one grand city or world. So fun.
Minecraft is a little too addictive.
I start playing and i swear hours go by and i don't even know it.
is it bad when you start dreaming in pixels and blocks?
Because this is what Minecraft has done to me.
I would love to join anybodies server who is willing to offer it up!
I have you and that is all I need ♬
No kidding. . . it even gets more fun once the creepers bring out the big guns.
But yeah, I recently started playing this with my brother, and I love it.
Edit: Creepers are among the best mobs ever created
Edit 2: Check dead end thrills minecraft
If you're a Sword Art Online fan, or enjoy gaming feel free to add me
I do sometimes I think it's funny to play with friends online, but not singleplayer
My computer sucks too much to play Minecraft at a decent FPS even with the Optifine mod
