Dr. Togba-Nah Tipoteh, internationally renowned economist, former Budget Advisor to President William R. Tolbert and former Minister of Planning and Economic Affairs has diagnosed the budget shortfall and presents overtures by which the Government of Liberia can correct the situation.
He Dealt With the crux of the matter and provided suggestions for the government to utilize in order to fix the already deteriorating budget. Dr. Tipoteh is not only an internationally renowned economist, but he's also a foremost politician who understands the dynamics of the global economy, the changing trends and how they affect or impact Africa.
This Is Dr. Tipoteh's first official comment on the budget shortfall and how government can correct the problem that seems complicated to handle. Although he criticized the poor performance of the budget, nevertheless, he provides recipe to deal with the budget shortfall.
Dr. Tipoteh Is perhaps one of few politicians who takes on the government on issues that affect the people and the nation without providing solutions. Although his comment might not be appreciated by the government, however, Dr. Tipoteh has said it all.
He outlined a number of measures to deal with the budget shortfall, such as taxes as well as corruption, among other factors. According to him, the first measure is that the President of Liberia should appoint national financial managers who understand the workings of the economy of Liberia very well. Dr. Tipoteh contended that with such an understanding, the financial managers will predict very well the expected contribution of economic actors to government revenue.
The Renowned Liberian Economist is not insinuating that the President's financial managers are inept or not entirely up to the task, but sometimes you cannot allow a boy to do a man's job which could prove catastrophic. The establishment of a panel of financial and economic experts to advise government on serious economic issues would help the government avoid some of the problems it is facing today. This is the second time in succession for the government to experience a budget shortfall.
In the last budget year (2012/13), there was a budget shortfall. The government explained that the reason for that shortfall was that revenues expected to have been collected from some leading concessions such as Mittal, China Union and the logging sector faced some problems.
We Suspect That there's lack of sincerity in the collection of taxes. In some cases, we believe there are compromises along the way to dupe the government of the necessary revenues it needs to address socio-economic problems facing the people and the country.
We Believe That corruption issue raised by Dr. Tipoteh regarding budget shortfall is a serious matter which will continue to affect the budget, especially when there is "stealing of taxpayers' money and/or the use of taxpayers' money for personal purposes." Recently, U.S. envoy Debora Malac raised similar concern, warning the Liberian government not to spend money it does not have in the budget.
The Reality Is clear that the government is facing serious economic constraint and it seems uncertain whether this problem will be settled anytime soon. We want the Government of Liberia to consider seriously suggestions by Dr. Tipoteh if this country must sail on a smooth financial pathway.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Rarely recorded Ballets by Tommasini, Milhaud, Sauguet. Exceptional richness of musical colours. First Class, rousing interpretations.
BBC Music Magazine, July 2013
Volume Nine...is all delight...On this evidence there are plenty more small gems for Hänssler to bring to light.
Gramophone Magazine, July 2013
The discovery (for me, at least) is La chatte, by the forgotten Henri Sauget...Chic, economical, tuneful and unmistakeably Gallic, the suite's Overture and eight movements are a delightful soufflé.
American Record Guide, July/August 2013
This is Volume 9 of Hanssler's series dedicated to the scores Diaghilev commissioned for his Ballets Russes. Sauguet's Cat Woman (1927) is an elegant score. This is the only available recording. Its emotional content reminds me of the best of Ravel in that its feelings are under control, but utterly genuine for all that. The music is traditional, with suave scoring and refined melodies. It has some clever touches. The opening phrase of its final segment - Hymn. The description of the original ballet production itself sounds fascinating, with staging and propping by Naum Gabo - one of my favorite sculptors - and his brother, Anton Pevsner.

Modern Quilting Lecture
Here's what the page looks like:
Sexy, no?
Here's the description:
This lecture on modern quilting describes my journey as well as giving the lay of the modern-quilting land. I cover what I see as some key aesthetics of modern quilts, I ponder the appropriateness of the term "modern" as it applies to quilts, and generally get nerdy on a number of topics that relate---in my brain, anyway--to modern quilting. Among them: wabi sabi, simultaneity, linen clocks, and Bewitched.
Many thanks to Running With Scissors for inviting me to lecture. Also, to the wonderful audience! Please excuse the soft background noise, it's the building's ventilation system. Also, I'm sorry that I appear in outline most of the time, the priority was on the attendees being able to see me and see the slides; this didn't always read well on the camera.
A note to parents: there is one minor swear word in here, right after I talk about elephants. You'll know that it's coming. :)
While in the original keynote presentation, the credits for all photographs were visible, that is not always the case in the video. Thus, to do my due diligence to copyright, allowing anyone who sees the video to follow any of the examples to their originators, you can check out these flickr galleries, which contain the source images:
Please feel free to link to this video from your own sites.
I don't know if it is just finally getting this edited and up, or the fact that it is finally Friday, or the fact that I'm off on a mini-break to see Elle get married (!!!) but I'm very cheerful today! Yay!

I really appreciated the "nerdy" aspect of your lecture. It had me thinking about Post-modernism and how this all relates. And, after living in Japan for 2 years and experiencing Wabi Sabi first hand, I can totally see the relation here. I catch myself gravitating towards fabrics and/or quilts that are true to seasonal colors or elements of nature. I think that's a very Japanese aesthetic. I could go on...but I probably don't want to process your lecture in such a rough form here. :) Thanks for posting this! I'll share it with my modern quilt guild in Ft Wayne, Indiana.ReplyDelete
Thank you for such an enjoyable "lecture." I started quilting 20 years ago but decided it had to many rules so I stopped. Last October I found modern quilting and have been a fan ever since--how awesome is it for you to be a pioneer? The creativity that has been unleashed is amazing and technology keeps everyone on their heels, mesmerized by the aesthetic beauty of modern quilts. What a wonderful, colorful, and inspiring world we live in!ReplyDelete
Fantastic and thought-provoking lecture! I was just going to watch a few minutes and save the rest for later, but I was drawn in. What a great way to start my long weekend, much of which I plan to devote to quilt design. I'm glad you referenced traditional quilts, as I was recently looking through the book "Treasury of American Quilts" (published in 1982) which shows some amazing 19th-century quilts that look very 'modern' by many of the same standards you so eloquently articulate in the lecture. I've collected a ton of vintage fabrics and am encouraged by what fresh-looking quilts those women were able to make with the fabrics that were available to them then.ReplyDelete
Totally cool! Can't wait to have you on my radio show Rossie!ReplyDelete
What really struck me is how new is a variation... modern bees online are what used to be making 'birthday quilt blocks' 15 yrs ago in the guilds. an update, a twist, but still.. quilters making blocks for another quilter that they really want... providing fabric, the idea, the plan... all the same but.. different!
love the video and will share it when you are on the show!
I love the way you have provided a structured analysis of Modern Quilts that help us understand what we have been seeing happening around us.ReplyDelete
My personal goal is to train myself to look forward and expand myself so that I'm not making the same quilt over and over. I have to challenge myself to steer away from what is safe and expected, using new colors and processes.
Thanks so much for the thought-provoking lecture.
BTW, are you familiar with Amanda Jean of crazymomquilts.blogspot.com? I really enjoy her designs.
I will be setting aside some time this weekend to focus & watch the video of your lecture! I am so happy it was recorded & you are sharing it with people who couldn't physically be there.ReplyDelete
Hi RossieReplyDelete
I watched your video and found it very inspiring. In fact it converged with some other inspirations I had to spawn my new project. You can view it here if you're interested: http://sewjournal.com/2010/09/06/a-confluence-of-inspirations/
PS I put a link to your blog post about the video in my post as well.
Thanks, Rossie, for the structure and description of what Mod/Mutant quilting is. I read the Mod Quilt Guild descriptions when they were written and a lot of it seemed very reactionary. I've quilted for almost 20 years and become bored with the expected. Identifying the inspirations of modern quilting were really helpful; most of them have called me over the last 2 years. I just didn't know I was participating in something bigger!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for taking the time to edit and put this video here for us to enjoy. I've been looking forward to it and finally found an opportunity to watch it tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You're amazing!ReplyDelete
Wow that was fun! I haven't been to a lecture on anything but plants in a long time.ReplyDelete
It is good to know that I am not the only one who is not so crazy about stippling and matchy designer collections.
Hey Rossie,ReplyDelete
I saw that you stopped by my blog - Thanks! I love having visitors and will be doing some updating really soon! I hope to see you again!
I can only hope my site is as informative as yours is! I have already subscribed! See you soon!
Just watched your video- a great and intelligent lecture, resonated strongly with me and I guess many many others, thank you- the UK is slowly catching up with this aestheticReplyDelete
Truly a joy to watch... I only wish I could have seen it in person!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing the lecture with us! There is a lot of creative interaction in this movement, and it is great to try to see a bigger picture. I am happy to be introduced to the term Wabi-Sabi. Look forward to your radio-appearance with Pat Sloan!ReplyDelete

Suzan Jenkins, CEO of the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County, moderated a convention panel on creative methods for growing new funding born out of the experiences of the recession. The rise of online funding campaigns, emphasis on creating partnerships with businesses and, more radically, treat all philanthropic support as start-up funding and don't rely on it for core operating income were some of the ideas explored. The consensus was to, remain flexible but, above all, stay true to your mission.
Maud Lyon, executive director of the Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan, used the Community Foundation Challenge in Detroit as an example of the challenges and best practices for online giving/day of arts giving campaigns. A major goal of the Challenge was to raise awareness for the arts and culture sector.
Referencing it as "Glitches to Riches," Maud said the Challenge program raised $4,992,000 million for 75 organizations in one day. While the larger organizations raised higher dollar amounts, smaller organizations raised a higher proportion of their budget size. Existing donors were the mainstay of the Challenge (59 percent), but the Challenge brought in a significant number of new donors as well (28 percent).
Lessons learned by the arts community include: the importance of being prepared with technology and social networking in order to be able to respond quickly to challenge opportunities; the future of online giving is with younger donors; and, convenience, ease, flexibility and lack of pressure are the appeals of online commerce.
Maud emphasized the necessity of a good donor database and an excellent donor stewardship program. She personally donated to twelve different organizations during the Challenge, received very few thank you letters, and only three of the twelve followed up the following year for new donations. Lost opportunities! Read the rest of this entry »

I really wanted to like this. The color is an absolutely gorgeous and rich pomegranate red, but Flair is by no means a sheer lipstick. It's most definitely opaque on my lips and trends towards extremely dry (which is consistent with my other NARS lipsticks). I don't wear it often because it requires exfoliation and a heavy slathering of Carmex beforehand, but when I do it looks amazing.
NARS Flair Sheer Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "sheer burnished berry." It's a medium-dark, berry-red with neutral-to-cool undertones. (On me, those generally translate slightly warmer.) Too Faced Pink Chocolate (P, $21.00) is creamier, warmer. Laura Mercier Cozy (P, $24.00) is warmer. MAC Candy Apple (LE, $17.00) is slightly pinker/cooler-toned. Chanel Ce Soir (P, $34.00) is more muted, lighter. See comparison swatches. (You can see it on The Dupe List here!)

The other weekend, I wanted to eat a torta.
My torta craving grew to the point where I considered driving three hours for a sandwich. Nothing more. Just a sandwich.
Just before we moved to Fargo, I discovered my love for these Mexican sandwiches. My local torta search only went as far as Googling the heck out of Fargo + Moorhead + torta, with no mention. I'd love for you to prove me wrong.
Last weekend, we returned to the Twin Cities for a quick visit to surprise Jake's mom for her birthday. We left for the cities earlier than normal and greeted her when she returned home from work. Both surprisers and surprisee seemed equally happy about the reunion.
We also visited the family for which I babysat and apprenticed last year. I know it's a tale as old as time, but the experience of watching a baby transform into a child that talks in complete sentences and zips around the sidewalks of Minneapolis on a Strider is fantastic and humbling. We barely have the skeleton of a wedding in place, but we now have a ring bearer.
Speaking of wedding plans, we're finally getting started. Or at least, we're thinking about it. I'm more concerned about the food. Can you recommend a Twin Cities vendor who could make a non-traditional wedding dessert? Neither one of us is a big fan of cake, but we're very fond of pie.
On Saturday morning, I woke up early to go to the St. Paul Farmers Market. This summer, our CSA has supplied us with all of our vegetables. The quality has been high, but the selection ordinary. Walking through the farmers market nearly brought tears to my eyes as I admired stands of melons, okra, eggplants, habanero peppers, and foraged mushrooms (I just learned about Probstfield Farm's Old Trail Market in Moorhead, MN and plan to stop by this weekend).
I bought some treats to supplement our weekly CSA box and stopped at A Toast To Bread for the empanadas I used to enjoy each weekend.
Fortunately, I got there early enough to purchase one of each variety to share with the boys. They were as delicious as I remember. The first was filled with ground beef and veggies, the second with ground beef, olives and raisins, and the third with tuna.
For lunch, we took home spicy BBQ, baked beans, and collard greens from Ted Cook's, per Jake's request.
My rib tips were more dried out than normal and I had to toss about half. Otherwise, everything else tasted the same.
Dinner was cloudy with a chance of these. . .
I like to occasionally indulge with meals accompanied by these. For those who may take issue, my reply is the same as the one I gave to the man in the elevator this afternoon. He sternly informed me that the cream cheese on my bagel was unhealthy, to which I replied, "I don't care."
On our final morning, I snuck out for a morning torta. I knew that stacking a torta onto the weekend's meals could result in trouble, but pressed on towards my goal. After all, I never do know when I will run into my next torta. If I see a one, I will indulge. Plus, one can always transport food on ice. We took home quite the haul.
Jake's an East Saint Paul boy, through and through. His parents live in the Payne-Phalen area and it took me until now to discover the restaurants that line Payne Ave. and Arcade St. On Sunday, I stopped at By More Taqueria, located near the intersection of Payne Ave. and Phalen Blvd. Someone on Chowhound had mentioned torta.
My one track mind zeroed in to the torta options that could be filled with one's choice of meat. I did not notice breaded beef milanesa, my usual favorite, but had plenty of other options to pick from. Some, I could not translate, though I remember seeing fish, lengua, and possibly cabeza. I don't remember much of the illustrated menu posted by the counter, but recall seeing seafood soup and a daily meal special that included nopal (cactus), which I adore.
I asked the man at the register for suggestions, and he earnestly steered me towards chorizo. So, chorizo it was.
As I waited for torta, I sipped a glass of horchata. Both cost about $9. The two employees were very friendly and made everything fresh as families trickled in for their Sunday lunches.
My massive torta was filled with a griddled layer of crusty chorizo and toasty cheese. It's toppings included a healthy slick of mayo, smushed avocado, refried beans, shredded lettuce, chopped onion, and tomato. Also, the bun was nicely toasted.
My torta tasted exactly how I had hoped and I dug into my sloppy sandwich. I paused to share half with Jake.
He agreed that it was delicious, though we both bit into small bits of something hard. My experience wasn't unpleasant enough to ruin the sandwich, though Jake's bite left him a little jolted. I wonder if it came from the chorizo.
In summary, I felt the flavors were really beautiful. Biting into the hard bit wasn't ideal, but fortunately caused no damage. I would probably give them another try, order something other than chorizo, and, in the meantime, just call it a fluke.
As I drove along Payne Ave, I made mental notes of places I'd like to try during future visits home. The area's restaurants rarely seem to be mentioned and I look forward to exploring its food possibilities.

We get a performance rating score of 3.2 with the default configuration and shown above is the software installed by Dell at their factory. Some of the software is useful, such as Flash and Adobe Reader but there are some useless items such as Live! Cam Avatar Creator. McAfee is also installed but our first recommendation would be to remove this intrusive resource hog and replace it with something like Avast! or Microsofts own antivirus. Dell also installs their own tweaks on the OS such as a dock which is no doubt designed to appeal to Mac OS fans. Also worth noting is that functions such as showing that CAPS Lock is enabled are handled onscreen in software. There is no keyboard LED. Adamo XPS BIOS Dell use a Phoenix BIOS on the Adamo XPS.

Fusion poisons; why fission has none
>Well, Gregory, we can debate to the rest of our lives as to what a
Well if you are going to write the word "poison" when you reallly mean
something else, like "chocolate cake" or something, what you write may be
technically true for you but meaningless to everyone else. You write "there
is no fission poison" meaning "there is no fission chocolate cake" which may
(sort of) true, but meaningless to anyone who reads your writings.
Wrong, there is a very specific meaning of "posion" in nuclear fission
It is a substance that kills the nuclear fission reaction. Read any good
on nuclear reactors. This usage is equivalent to the common use of the word
'poison', a substance that kills one who ingests it.
It is. Boron-10 has an enormous appetite for neutrons, and its presence in
nuclear reaction will kill the reaction, dead.
There you go off with some nonsense meaning of 'poison'. You may as well
substitute 'chocolate cake' for 'poison', it will be just as meaningful.

Re: No pain, but tendon \"pops\" back and forth under elbow.
I've been working around this, and I think it's getting BETTER. Seriously. I set out 4 weeks ago with a theory on this, and I swear, being real honest it's working. That is, I've tried to "gut check" myself and see if I'm only thinking it's working because I want it to, and NO, that's not it, as far as I can tell.
I've been restricting bench to dumbells ONLY, and only that range of motion that doesn't make it pop. As a side effect, I feel like I can concentrate more on my chest and tri's doing so, and stay off my shoulders.
So what to do about shoulders then? Well, oddly enough, I started to notice that my shoulder on that side also pops slightly when contourted wrong. I think the two are connected, like there's a giant tendon from shoulder to my pinky knuckle. Did I mention that I'm missing my nuckle above the pinky on that hand? I know, bizarre as hell, but it's been that way as long as I can remember.
Anyhow, shoulders. Today, as chance would have it, I tell a guy in the gym what I've got. He says, "Watch my leg, I've got the same thing." Sure enough, just past 90 degrees, a ligament behind his knee pops the EXACT same way. Hmmm....
So he shows me a limited range military press. How? Bring the bar straight to the TOP of your head. Like if you were to drop it, you'd crush your cranium. PERFECT! I blew up my shoulders like never before, and no elbow pain.
I kept my hands a little closer than I do on other movements, with my middle finger on the rings.
Doing all these things seems to keep my 'nerve' in place better. When I get a pump, especially in the triceps, it doesn't want to move around as much. My theory (as I think someone might have suggested here) is that I have an imbalance between bi and tri power and I need to correct it. I think it's working.
Keep this discussion alive, as this seems to be one thing that is fairly common, but no one really knows what it is exactly. It seems we can all make it happen sometimes, but can't fully grasp the concept. Like female orgasm.
Sorry, I walked right into that, and couldn't pass up the opportunity.
anyhow, keep it going.

Many practices will be left without an adequate IT system if a credible replacement for GPSoC is not agreed soon, Local Medical Committees will hear today.
Concern about the "imminent demise" of GP Systems of Choice in April 2013, and the apparent lack of a replacement, will be discussed at the Local Medical Committee conference in Liverpool.
A number of LMCs have submitted motions for debate about GPSoC, saying the uncertainty about its future is unhelpful to both practices and suppliers and that the tight time scale risks leaving many practices without an "adequately modernised IT system."
The agenda committee has put forward a motion to establish a "clear strategy for central investment in general practice IT" and ensure ongoing freedom of choice for practices to choose or change a clinical system.
Joint chairman of the BMA and RCGP's joint IT committee, Dr Paul Cundy, told eHealth Insider that the committee is working with NHS Connecting for Health and GPSoC on developing a successor.
"We are going through the motions of trying to establish what's going to happen," he said. "We are inputting into the national IT requirements, drawing on a wish list of what we would like to see developed next.
"Unfortunately, we haven't got clarity yet around where IT will lie - with clinical commissioning groups or the NHS Commissioning Board. It's fairly clear what we don't want, which is for it all to be at CCG level."
Dr Cundy said there was also no clarity as yet on funding for the programme. "We are supporting CfH in their bid to have GPSoC version 2 approved and signed off," he explained.
"If they [the government] don't continue to support GP IT, then the entirety of the NHS reforms stop and we all go back to being electronic islands again."
There was no mention of GPSoC in the NHS information strategy that finally emerged at the start of the week, even though it makes a number of commitments to give patients access to transactional services and to see their GP records online.

GP Systems of Choice is actually a Restriction of ChoiceGuildfoss 162 weeks ago
The GP systems suppliers have a fantastic protected market where revenues are guaranteed from us the tax payer. Now there is nothing wrong with this approach if it is transparent and delivers enough public good for a reasonable investment. But actually, the level of transparency is poor and the GP suppliers are being allowed to overlook open standards and create their own closed standards club for of data exchange and app development which cannot be allowed to continue.
GPSOC needs to be scrapped and replaced with a declaration of OPEN SUS document exchange standards and open source accrediation tools expected from IT systems suppliers.
GPSOC was introduced as a bandaid, when NPFIT failed to displace one set of suppliers with another in primary care. GPSOC is actually holding back what needs to be a much more competitive and dynamic area of the health IT market.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
For crust:
Blend first 4 ingredients in processor 5 seconds. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns, until coarse meal forms. Add 1/4 cup ice water. Blend until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Divide in half. Shape into disks. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour.
For filling:
Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Mix cherries and whisky in small bowl. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir apples, sugar, and cinnamon in large bowl. Fold in cherry mixture.
Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Mound filling in crust (filling will be high). Roll out remaining dough disk to 13-inch round and drape over pie. Fold top and bottom overhangs together to seal. Crimp edge of crust decoratively. Brush glaze over top of crust, but not crust edge. Cut several small slits in top crust.
Bake pie 10 minutes. Cover crust edge with foil and bake until apples are tender, about 50 minutes longer. Cool pie 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with cream or vanilla ice cream.
Test-kitchen tip: To protect the crust, fold a 36-inch-long piece of foil lenghtwise into a 4-inch-wide strip. Stand strip up on oven rack and wrap around the pie.

Our favorite smoothie of the year is the Banana + Pineapple Smoothie. It is also one of our easiest and favorite desserts to make. You can use almost thawed Trader Joe's Frozen Pineapple Tidbits, any dairy-free milk, and one nearly ripe banana to make this wonderful smoothie. This makes about 32 oz., equivalent to two tall glass servings. For the dairy-free milk, I tend to avoid soy-based milks, and I like to use So Delicious® Dairy Free's Original Coconut Milk.
Enjoy the Banana & Pineapple Smoothie!
Thaw the frozen pineapples for at least half an hour. Place the pineapples, milk and banana in a high-speed blender. Add ice (optional) for a frostier beverage. Cover, and puree until smooth. Pour into glasses to serve.

text: Three men suspected of stealing a shotgun in a La Center-area home burglary are under arrest after a pursuit that took place yesterday afternoon; one of those suspects is also being connected to the theft of firearms from a home in Kalama earlier this month. Around 12:30, the suspects were seen leaving a home on Northeast Jenny Creek Road, carrying a shotgun and other items. The suspects were spotted and pursued to an area behind one of the La Center casinos, where they ditched their car and took off on foot. Two were arrested at gunpoint behind the Chips Casino, and then the third was found lying on a trampoline in the back yard of a nearby home. The La Center City Hall was briefly placed on lockdown. Cowlitz County Deputies and Woodland Police assisted several Clark County police agencies during this incident. Kalama Police Chief Randy Gibson says that one of the suspects is also connected to a pair of burglaries reported on the 11th of this month, where two handguns were stolen from one home, and a window was shot out in another. Identities of the suspects have not yet been released.

Net neutrality: Now, more than everJuly 27, 2004
A bill expected early next year in the U.S. House of Representatives, coupled with recent comments made by executives from BellSouth and the newly merged AT&T and SBC Communications, has raised the prospect of a two-tiered Internet in which some services--especially video--would be favored over others.
No broadband provider has proposed to block certain Web sites. But they have said Yahoo, for instance, could pay a fee to have its search site load faster than Google. Other possibilities include restricting bandwidth-hogging file-swapping applications, or delivering their own video content faster than a similar service provided by rivals.
That prospect has dismayed e-commerce and Internet companies including Amazon.com, eBay, Google and Microsoft, which are lobbying to maintain what they call the principle of "network neutrality"--namely, that network owners must not pick favorites among the myriad technologies, applications and users that travel across their pipes.
"We're trying to ensure that our customers are able to get to us without impairments along the way," said Paul Misener, vice president for global public policy at Amazon.
Broadband providers, on the other hand, say that intrusive federal legislation would prevent new business models from being invented and reduce the incentive to invest in speedier networks. It also, they say, could prove disruptive.
"Network neutrality is a nearly indefinable concept," said Brian Dietz, a spokesman for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association. "For instance, does network neutrality mean that network operators can't block spam? Should network operators be allowed to stop viruses from spreading? Should large users of peer-to-peer software be allowed unlimited bandwidth so service for other users is slower?"
On one level, the dispute invokes the philosophical question of what legal rules broadband providers will be required to follow. Will they enjoy the freedom to manage their bandwidth as they please, and will Internet users continue to expect that their provider will act as a simple pipe or conduit--one that does not prefer one destination over another?
At another level, though, the political wrangling is a routine business dispute that happens to be playing out before Congress. Not only are Yahoo, Google and Microsoft deeply interested in online video, but AT&T and BellSouth are planning to offer Internet-based television. For them, it's also a way to strike back at cable companies, which sell phone service.
Billions of dollars are at stake. AT&T is spending $5 billion to install an additional 40,000 miles of fiber to its networks and plans to pipe Internet Protocol-based television and other high-speed services into 18 million households by the middle of 2008. Its backbone network already shuttles 4.6 petabytes of data on an average business day. Similarly, Verizon Communications switched on its Fios television service in Texas and has plans to expand to Florida, Virginia and California.
Hypothetical "neutrality" concerns
Amazon and its allies have been touting the importance of network neutrality since at least 2002, and even went so far as to ask the Federal Communications Commission to endorse the principle.
Until recently, their worries were mostly hypothetical and gained little political traction. Michael Powell, FCC chairman at the time, dismissed their concerns a year later, saying there was no need for pre-emptive regulations that could imperil still-to-be discovered business models on the Internet.
Then along came the case of Madison River, a North Carolina telecommunications company that intentionally blocked Internet phone traffic. Madison River had a strong financial incentive: It offered both DSL (digital subscriber line) and voice telephone service.
The FCC responded swiftly to a complaint from Vonage, and Madison River soon agreed to stop blocking voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls.
Paul Misener
VP, Amazon.com
A few months later, in August, the FCC adopted a "policy statement" (click here for PDF) on network neutrality. While not a binding regulation, the statement says that Americans are "entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice." (At the time, Commissioner Michael Copps, a Democrat, said (PDF) he "would have preferred a rule that we could use to bring enforcement action.")
Now Congress is becoming interested. A draft bill (PDF) prepared by Texas Rep. Joe Barton, a Republican who chairs the committee overseeing telecommunications law, says providers "may not block, or unreasonably impair or interfere with, the offering of, access to or the use of any lawful content, application or service provided over the Internet."
But the e-commerce and Internet companies say that language is too vague for comfort. They're also troubled about a section permitting providers to offer their own "broadband video service." That, they say, may create a loophole permitting mischief by the increasing number of broadband providers that offer IP-based television services.
In a statement provided to CNET News.com, BellSouth said it and other broadband providers should be able to offer "different plans that feature enhanced levels of service or that promote their own brand names and products or the services of selected vendors." That includes, BellSouth said, entering "into arrangements with content providers by which the content provider pays for special treatment, such as preferential listing or faster downloads from that provider's Web site or receiving higher quality of service."
The latest broadband bill to enter the fray, introduced last week by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, proposes a broad deregulatory framework for the communications industry but does not explicitly refer to network neutrality. The closest it comes is to direct the FCC to look for "unfair methods of competition."

- I wish that were true
- The problem is, to whom would we turn if we want to leave? A huge chunk of America does not have any choices in broadband providers. And even those of us who do might lose out. I can get cable and DSL, but what happens when both of those providers choose to do the same thing? I am hosed, as I have no realistic alternative.
I think our best hope is that this may eventually spur alternative providers, such as powerline and WiMax-based providers. This is not going to be fun.

- The "principle" is a done deal.
- Congress and the courts have already decided that it is legal for vendors to pay merchants for preferential treatment. Coke & Pepsi each pay supermarkets for 45% of their avialble soft drink shelf space, thus limiting all other soft drink companies to just 10% of the shelf space. Has everyone stopped shopping the supermarkets? The big three record labels pay to have their artists aired over the satellite downlinks to commercial radio stations--it's NOT payola if they report it to the IRS. Has everyone stopped listening to commercial radio?
Seems the major differences between free enterprise and capitalism become more apparent as time goes by with the big guys allowed to cut deals to prevent little guys from becoming successful. Congress and the courts, being owned by the large corporations, have therefore "deregulated" most industries, allowing consumers to be shorn daily.
There is one slight chance the large providers of Internet pipe may think better of this. In the past, they have claimed immunity from liability for various digital scoundrels, schemes, & scams because they had no control over content due to their lack of ability to monitor such content. If they do this thing, they will, in affect, be monitoring content, thus opening themselves up to liability for the content. In fact, their proposition itself discloses this as a likelyhood.
Come on, all you litigators! Stop drooling and get your fingers busy typing those briefs!

- A conflict of interests
- There's a conflict of interests between providing connectivity and providing content, and that requires regulation. One extreme solution is not allowing one supplier to supply both. A less extreme solution would require a supplier to define the border between the two and would set standards. An ISP that advertises that it sells "internet access" should be required to ensure that the bandwidth it says is "internet access" would be used just for that, and not confiscated for pushing its content. If an ISP is allowed to provide content at a higher priority than general internet access, it should be required to set a minimal bandwidth reserved for internet connectivity that is at least as high as what's advertised.

- The Greed
- These telecoms and internet providers are really unbelievable. As if their internet services weren't expensive enough. We pay more for internet services in the U.S. than people do in Japan. And, Japanese get 2-3 times the speed we get here.
These people are just greedy and scared of competition. As if internet is the only thing that travels through their networks.
Let me see, if I want DSL, I have to deal with the telephone company, which just like cable have neighborhoods, and sometimes towns, monopolized by their services. So, one way or another, they'll try to push me into using their other services. So, they always win. Why the whining??? Money. They can't handle that King Google and Prince Yahoo have so much control over the internet. So, telecoms want to be the cops. They want to be "distators" and "Ramsom holders."
Want to use the internet at a good speed "pay me a ransom" and then we'll talk. Isn't this black mailing.???

- Antitrust abuse
- What it is we could call antitrust abuse. If they really want to be deregulated, then let's end local cable and telco monopolies. Let anyone provide service who wants to. It won't be easy to overcome the incumbents' built-in subscriber base, but if they do enough stupid things like this, then competitors will use cheaper, newer technology (like WiMax) to reach fed-up customers. It's too hard to do this right now with the incredible thicket of local, state, and federal regulations that surround local service provider monopolies.

- separating infrastructure from connectivity
- In Israel there is one phone company: a monopoly, including DSL. Since they have a monopoly on DSL connectivity (and on dialup connectivity) the regulator does not allow them to provide internet connectivity. There are also several cable TV suppliers, each a monopoly in the parts of the country where they operate (I'm not sure about the exact restriction on them).
So the way it works is that a consumer has to subscribe to either DSL thru the phone company (paid in the phone bill) or to cables access thru a cable TV supplier (paid thru cable TV bill, often with a deal including both network access and cable TV plan) and then the user has to subscribe to (at least) one ISP. The infrastructure provider (DSL or cables) supplies connectivity to the ISP, and the ISP provides access to the Internet. (Actually one can just subscribe to DSL service, and then by going to a certain URL choose any ISP and pay for internet connectivity by the minute, charged thru the phone bill. But in practice consumers subscribe to an ISP which then handles the infrastructure subscription for them at special rates).
It still doesn't solve the conflict of interests problem because ISPs still serve their own content on their local network in addition to internet access, and infrastructure suppliers may also serve their own content on their local network. They are only forbidden to sell direct internet connectivity.

- Not good...
- I honestly think this is a terrible thing to do. ISP's could very well just start taking over the internet or how its done... say Bellsouth doesn't like phrack.org, so they block it. That goes completely against the principle of the internet, which is to provide a network of information available to EVERYONE with a connection. Freedom of speech anyone?
There are ways to get around this however... hackers will definitely step in against this, and that I look forward to.

- Simple Truth
- If you pay for broadband, you are paying for a connection. The providers are just the pipe. But when the begin using valves to control the experience they are moving into another genre of content providing (this might be ok for specific market segments or if they give the pipe away for free).
This means they better be able to control every aspect of the experience (an impossible task) or the lawsuits will make them wish they never started down this path.
The simple truth is that communication companies are scared; they see their base and revenue drying up. This era of technology scares them and they are having a hard time adapting (partially since they never earned a loyal subscriber base. They did rape and pillage our pockets for years while there was no alternative&Sins of the past have come back to plague them) But I regress&

Even as a science major it was quite a jolt for me to purchase a brand new computer and have it greet me by name before I even registered Windows. If technology "improves" much more in this direction my computer and cell phone days are over.

- I am not sure if its just some fancy ipmulticast client or what.. hasnt reached critical mass yet.. geeze, ipmulticast clients are over 10 years old now.... I think cisco marketed some ipmulticast features in their boxes a while back.... Its ironic that its nearly impossible to find a free highbitrate live feeds anymore....

- A couple of words from a Web Developer
- For the FCC Chairman:
Let's say you have a big red barn and I'm thinking of building a road right smack in the middle of the Broad Side of it. Now, nobody claims ownership of this barn but the land it lies on is vaguely monitored by the Government.
Now I'm just thinking of building the road here because I see serious potential for the towns clients to get to the business' faster, not to mention a way to curb the business to benefit the shops I own.
The reality of it is that I can't do it yet because I'm not sure of the reprocussions of building that road through the barn. You see I parked the Construction gear outside and now I'm just waiting to see if anybody notices.
Crap, one person noticed and asked me to move my contruction gear. I'll have to park it for now, kinda like ICANN parking the .xxx domain.
Now if I had to stick to strick rules on where I could and could not build that road then the decision to build the road through the barn would be made for me and I'd have to look for other uses for my construction gear. Not to mention that I will now have to think of different way's to generate income to my business (maybe better technology will fix this).
There is no law that tells me that I can't do it and there is no law to tell me that I can. So I'm gonna park my construction equipment until somebody makes a decision. And lets just say the wrong decision and I'm building a road through the Broad Side of you barn!

- Defining "network neutrality" complex? Hardly . . .
- Here's a definition for you: A packet is a packet is a packet.
The moment you treat some packets differently (for whatever reason), you violate network neutrality.

- That means that:
1) Should "network operators" block spam? Yes. ISPs CAN block spam, because they block it AFTER RECEIPT of the email by the mail server.
2) Should network operators be able to stop viruses? Well, if those "network operators" are engaging is some kind of packet inspection to do so, then NO. However, if they're doing it at the receiving end of a transmission, then, well, YES.
3) Should large p2p users have their bandwidth curbed? Well . . . that's a BANDWIDTH issue, not a network neutrality issue.
4) Should people like Brian Dietz stop preying on the technical naivety of the public? EMPHATICALLY YES.

- So, when I run an IGP such as OSPF between two adjacent routers, and the routers gives preferential treatment to OSPF packets so as to maintain convergence and a stable network topology, I am violating your (for whatever reason) network neutrality? Or perhaps I use MPLS to reduce latency for voice by throttling latency agnostic protocols such as FTP.

Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears used to play spin the bottle
Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears, sitting in a tree ... k-i-s-s-i-n-g. It's true, Ryan and Britney played kissing games during their formative years as Disney Mouseketeers. Gosling, whose film "The Place Beyond the Pines" hits theaters Friday (April 12) says Spears was his "girl next door."
"Britney was a sweetheart. She lived right above me," Ryan tells The Sunday Times. "The little girl I used to play basketball and spin the bottle with." Gosling appeared on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" in the early 90's alongside Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera. He says his mom and sister moved to Florida with him to support his role as Mouseketeer, but his dad disapproved and stayed behind -- a decision Ryan says led to his parents' divorce.
Growing up with just women in the house contributed to Ryan's "Hey, girl" sensitive persona. "I feel that I think like a girl, just through osmosis, really, living with my mom and my sister," he says. "If you live in a house with just women when your brain is forming, well, I think my thought process became more similar to a woman's ... A lot of my friends grew up with single mothers. And it's like we communicate differently."
Gosling's newest hobby of taking ballet classes only stands to bolster his reputation as a strong softie. "I'm so bad at it," says Ryan of the practice he gave up in his childhood. "And I have to take classes with little kids, and it ruins it for them, because they're there for this pure experience and they just want me out of there."

Kate Hudson on Late Night With David Letterman last night
Everyone's talking about Kate Hudson's red carpet turn with co-star Anne Hathaway at the premiere of their new flick Bride Wars, but we were much more interested in Hudson's look for Letterman last night.
Hudson matched her sparkly green Pucci dress with green earrings and even green eye shadow. HD TV was not kind to the look, while it seems more stylish in these photos. The black tights and shoes were obviously a good choice with the statement-making sequin print.
She must have been worn out from the premiere and appearance, because she was much more laid back in jeans and a white shirt on Live With Regis and Kelly this morning.

THE Government has said the mobile telecommunication sector in the country has spurred economic growth in key industries like mining, tourism, agriculture and health as MTN Zambia recorded swift expansion.
Minister of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications Christopher Yaluma said the telecommunications was the backbone of the national economic growth.
Its introduction across the country has contributed to the sustainable development of many sectors.
In a speech read for him by the ministry's director of human resources Theresa Kimena in Lusaka yesterday during the launch of MTN service centre at Levy Business Park, Mr Yaluma said his Government was happy that MTN was expanding rapidly.
"As Government we will continue to listen to the private sector players like MTN Zambia to explore ways of improving the industry. My Government will also continue to look for opportunities to improve the telecommunication infrastructure through the provision of appropriate incentives that favour growth," Mr Yaluma said.
At the same function MTN Zambia chief executive officer, Abdul Ismail said the opening of the new service centres at Levy Business Park and Makeni was meant to keep pace with the growth of the capital city and the demands of the customers.
"Lusaka city is growing and the opening of the service centres at both Levy Business Park and Makeni mall is clear indication that we want to grow with the city and our customers," Mr Ismail said.
Mr Ismail said the new outlet was equipped with the state-of-the-art technology that brings convenience to the MTN customers adding that his company was motivated by the need to establish centres that were synonymous with world-class quality services.
He said the company spent K1.7 billion on refurbishing and installing the customer service centre adding that it was the second phase in the on-going expansion programme .
Mr Ismail pledged his company's commitment to ensure best customer experience as it continued to demonstrate its innovation.
"Over the last couple of years, we have focused on ensuring that our customers get the best service at every point of dealing with MTN," he said.

Ten Things that made me Smile in November...
1. Hosting Honey's senior homecoming here. I just love all of her friends, it's been such a joy watching them grow up!
3. Watching Peanuts team end their a game in prayer around the pitchers mound most definitely made me smile!
4. Having friends and family over for Thanksgiving dinner was perfect!
5. Our family photo shoot made me smile for sure!
6. Ordering Honeys formal senior pictures {the real shoot is not until April} was bitter sweet but still made me smile.
7. My sister mailed the girls fall leaves again this year. They have never lived anywhere but Florida so the changing of the seasons has to be sent to them.
8. Being a part of decorating our church for Christmas was fun. The theme is Jingle Jam and is oh so Seussical! I did the main tree and the wreath as you walk in the door.
9. Making my house look like Christmas always makes me smile!

It is, for many applications, the most convenient way to program any TI calculator, since the capability to write programs in TI-BASIC is built-in. Assembly language (often referred to as "asm") can also be used, and C compilers exist for translation into assembly: TIGCC for Motorola 68000 based calculators, and Z88DK for Zilog Z80 based calculators. However, both of them are cross-compilers, not allowing on-calculator programming. Although TI-BASIC is considerably slower when compared to assembly, (not as useful for programming fast applications and games) it is very useful for writing programs quickly to solve math problems (formulae, etc) and for performing repetitive tasks, with some math instruction books even providing programs in TI-BASIC (usually for the widespread variant used by the TI-82/83/84 series).
Although it is somewhat minimalist compared to programming languages used on computers, TI-BASIC is nonetheless an important factor in the programming community. Because TI graphing calculators are required for advanced mathematics classes in many high schools and universities, TI-BASIC is often the first glimpse many students have into the world of programming. Learning to program in TI-BASIC is a relatively easy task, encouraging potential programmers to explore the field of computer science.
The syntax of all versions of TI-BASIC are somewhat different from typical BASIC implementations. The language itself has some basic structured programming capabilities, but makes limited to no use of or allowance for white space or indentation. It is also dependent on a slightly nonstandard character set, with specific characters for assignment (the right arrow, not readily available in most character sets), square and cube roots, and other mathematical symbols, as well as tokenized entry and storage for keywords. All statements begin with a colon, which also functions as a statement separator within lines.
Expressions use infix notation, with standard operator precedence. Many statements include their arguments in parentheses, similar to the syntax used for mathematical functions. The assignment syntax is unusual; rather than using a let statement or an equals sign, TI-BASIC uses a right-arrow operator with the syntax: source → destination.
Control flow statements include if-then-else blocks, for loops, while loops, and repeat loops, though no switch statements. Unusually for a high level language, TI-BASIC implementations include IS> (Increment and Skip if Greater Than) and DS< (Decrement and Skip if Less Than) statements, constructs generally associated with assembly languages. Sections of programs can be labeled; however, particularly on the Z80 models, the labels function primarily as destinations for GOTO statements rather than as program or block labels.
Availability of functions and subroutines depends on the implementation; the versions available on the TI-82-descended calculators do not even support a GOSUB-like function, though it is possible to call programs from within each other and share variables between programs. TI-89/92-based designs can have access to shared functions, essentially programs capable of returning a value.
An entirely different command is required to clear the screen in the TI-89. Since output is generally displayed on the ProgramIO screen, the "ClrIO" command is required to clear the output screen. There exists a "ClrHome" command on the TI-89, and it performs its function - namely, clearing the Home screen. For programming purposes, however, this command is essentially useless.
Z80 Series
:"clears the home screen, then displays the message between the quotes"
:Disp "HELLO, WORLD!"
68000 Series
:Disp "Hello, World!"
Z80 Series
:Input "NUMBER OF VARIABLES ",A
:If A<1 or fPart(A)
:Input "VAR ",B
In addition, lists are important for saving save game data and highscore data in programs. This is better than storing highscore or save game information as a variable, as variables are commonly used. Lists on the TI-82 cannot have custom names (L1 through L6 are preprogrammed).
The "If A<0 or fPart(A)" statement checks to see if the variable A is a negative number or a non-integer. If so, the program is stopped by the Return statement. If the condition is not true, then the program continues on to the rest of the code. The first variable is used to define L1. In the For(loop, only the commands between For(N,2,A) and the first End are considered. Every time the For( loop is executed, an input is asked for, and the element is added to the end of the list, and saved. By this time, the list L1 should have a dim(L1) = A and be ready for manipulation.
Z80 Series
:Disp A
68000 Series
:Local a,b
:For a,1,b
:Disp a
:"A user interface for FACT"
:Prompt X
:1→A:"An accumulator of sorts. The answer will be stored here."
:If X=0
:Disp A

Additional ports have been added in Oakland and have resolved the resource issue in central California. Additional ports have been added to the Tukwila POP which serves Western Washington EXCEPT Seattle and Vancouver. They will reduce the severity and duration of peak resource shortages but were not quite enough so more were ordered 1/15/2003 which I expect will be in place by the end of the month. The ports ordered for Seattle have not yet been added. The busiest hours tend to be between 6pm-10pm with the highest traffic in the 7:45-8:30pm window.

3) Give me something worth coming back to see next week
In the late 1990s, I saw a wrestling event that will forever be burned in my brain. On a typical episode of Nitro, the usual bland BS was happening during the overrun. The nWo Army was in the ring, squashing everything (including the company) in their path, when the camera cut quickly. It did not cut to the entrance ramp,
This is my second blog (actually it was my first but I couldn't figure out how to post it so it would appear on the main page). Going to make it a quick one. Some insight on me:
Wrestlemania V was my first time ever watching WWF.

So first i'd like to say i haven't been around a better Wrestling Fanbase pretty much since 1999. Miami was off the chain from Wednesday all the way to the Miami Heat game haha.
However its not locals that made this such a crowed on fire it was a gathering
Longtime reader, 1st time blogger. I thought I'd give it a lash and see what you guys think of my thoughts on the night....so i'll dive right in.

Was looking forward to this match, when sheamus hit the ring am thinking good start to what should be an awesome show, there seemed to be a massive D Bryan following in the front of the crowd, but before I could turn

Figured I'd jot down a few points on what I think will happen at Wrestlemania. By the way... I think it's appalling that WWE aren't showing the tag team title match on TV.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson vs. John Cena
My original thought was that Miz would interfere, but given the recent news about Batista and Brock Lesnar, I'm predicting that Brock will interfere with the match.
Updated 04-01-2012 at 10:36 AM by TheShockMaster
The Rock vs. Cena & HHH vs. Undertaker in Hell in a Cell are strong selling points for WWE's granddaddy PPV this year. I don't blame you if you order this. I will catch this on DVD eventually.
If you are like me, paying $60 for one event seems excessive, let me offer a great alternatives during that same weekend.
The iPPV is only $1.99. Why only $1.99? Well instead

While everyone is getting themselves in a hoop about things like what The Rock's REALLY back for and whether a 12 Man Tag Team match is a logical choice for Wrestlemania, alot of Cena detestors have been surprisingly quiet about this thing. I'm glad that people are showing their true colours and admitting they like the guy and not making a big stink about what is really happening.

Quick rundown on me, I used to watched wrestling. Love it. Lost Sky Sports so stopped watching it around 2004 and picked back up on it about two years ago. Obviously it was different when I started watching it again but I just took it for what it was. The Rock has always been my favorite wrestler, I remember being young and running around the living room in joy when his music hit and he sprinted full
First blog on here, long time reader, it's just ramblings but I look forward to your thoughts as well:

Incoming Transfer Student Advising
This page gives advising procedures for Transfer Students planning to major in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Computer Engineering (CmpE) offered by the Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at TTU. It also presents an example (fictitious) case.
If you call or contact the ECE office, the front desk secretary will email you a 2-page write-up that explains how to get officially advised with course recommendations for the semester in which you will begin studies at TTU. Otherwise, you can get the write-up from the link below.
... Info_4_ECE_TransferStudents.pdf.
To give you an idea of how this all proceeds, I have fabricated a case from an incoming transfer student, J. Doe.
The following file is a fictitious email I received from J. Doe.
... AdviseMePleaseEmail.txt
I prepared the following 3 files as a response.
.... Doe_J_BSEE.pdf
.... Doe_J_Advice.xlsx
.... Doe_J_sub.pdf
Lastly, I would send these files attached to an email to J. Doe with a CC to the ECE front desk secretary who would obtain the Alternate PIN and send it to J. Doe via email. Next, J. Doe can go into Eagle Online to to register. Instructions on how to register for courses in Eagle Online are found at the following link.
.... http://www.tntech.edu/records/howtoregister/
Note that it is unnecessary for an incoming transfer student to visit the campus to get advised. But, don't let me discourage you from visiting if you would prefer to come by in person.

text: 3 Flowers IPA is a straw colored Rye IPA. The three flowers referred to are Citra, Cascade, and Chinook hops, which are cast into the brew liberally, and contribute a lovely citrusy, floral aroma and a firm yet balancing bitterness. Malted rye and flaked rye, gently added to the grist of this refreshing brew, bestow an engaging dry spiciness and luscious mouth feel upon the imbiber. (Ya, so in case you didn't pick up on the fancy words…I just copied and pasted from the Marin Brewing website for this beer…kinda lame but I'm friggin' tired from remodeling my house…true story..) But for real, the beer is awesome and I say go try yourself some! Congrats @woodchip72 for the win!
