Official site of CAP:
Unclaimed Checks List per areas:
how to apply for a claim?....
Please contact CAP's office for more information. Sorry, I don't have much details. All I can say is patience is the key. Good luck. :)
How long did you wait? I applied last November 2009, do you think by miracle the check will be ready by then?
Do you have any contact number? I tried calling all the numbers listed in their website but all numbers are "not in service."
How come the list is only until letter "F"??? how about the others???
@Laarni: I think we waited more or less 2 years. I can remember my mother filing when I was in 3rd or 4th year in college, we got the check a year after graduation.
@Anonymous: What list? I don't know, maybe they're updating the database.
Please take note that I am not a spokesperson of CAP or is, in any way, affiliated with the company. I only have the links that paved the way for us to claim our checks. I can only share what we have experienced. Details and further information regarding filing and claiming of checks is best inquired through proper channels. Thank you for reading and God Bless. :)
what are the requirements you submitted?can you give me an estimate of how much am i going to get based on your experience? i have 2 ecu-b plans worth 170,000 pesos each maturing in 2016,thanks
@Anonymous: I don't know about the requirements because it was my mother who took care of those things. We only have a 30k++ investment, we got less than 20k.
when your next payment or checks as of august 20,201
0?what date?
when the exact date the next payment?
@Anonymous: I have not yet checked if we still have more checks to claim. Will write an update when I have more information. :)
i saw the List of CAP Planholders with Unclaimed Checks on their website but the name of my daughter is not there... when will be the next list coming out?i think i apply last 2 1/2 yrs ago, i think by now it should be given to us.
@Anonymous: Sorry, I can't answer that. Please contact CAP authorities for more information. :)
i am one of the plan holder,i file for my daughter 2years ago, but until now, her name is not yet in the list.I thought CAP can help for my daughter when she will be in college, but now she is in 2nd yr. in TUA,taking HRM,no good news, from CAP,when will be the releasing of cheque.
@Anonymous: Please contact CAP for more info. Thanks for reading.
Yes CAP is already giving out checks and has been for quite a while. Although a lot of people had been affected by the collapse of this corporation, it is good to see that they are at least open and trying to pay people back. The list is not yet complete because the company is paying back people based on a court mandate that strictly specifies who and what is paid to the people.
CAP was one of those companies that did NOT intend on scamming people for their money. In fact, their collapse can be attributed to the poor decisions made by the SEC and certain political figures in implementing what is known as the ARL (Actuarial Reserve Liability).
In fact, the newly released "Pre-Need Code" created by the government removes the ARL from its accounting formulas, since the ARL is not applicable to pre-need companies.
Visit http://www.captruth.webs.com to read more about this. You can also find the list of names on this site in the "Planholder Assistance" section.

@Anonymous: Thanks for the info! And yes, we do appreciate CAP's effort to make things better.
,,,,,,,,why still we did'nt claim our checks you said it is july it is october now,,,,felix dayday
@Felix Dayday: Sorry, I am not, in any way, affiliated with CAP. Please contact their office so that your concerns will be heard by the company's representatives.
i submitted all the necessary requirements to CAP office since my son was to enter college at that time, May, 2009 and alfo inform me that I'll be receiving checks every quarter. I received the first check last first week of June, 2010 but the check was dated i think feb., 2010. I did not received any checks now, they (CAP)told me that the checks are already available but still waiting for the funds. Hoping that it is not my first and last check to received.
me and my husband are cap plan holder for my daugther trizha mae yap and keisuke leary yap.i file my termination for my plan 6 yrs ago but until now is not yet in list.hoping one of this day will be posting their names for check releasing.
i,ve got my check at the cap office last september,(bacolod city office )after 5 long years of waiting. but... only 50%, divided 48 months,until 2012.WOW, STUPID ASSURANCE gd.
how to refund ?
@ (the latest) anonymous: It involves a long and grueling process of filing and arduous waiting. Please contact the company for more information. :)
i paid my premiums and completed it in Tarlac, where can i file for claim or refumnd?
i am from tarlac, where can i file for refund?
what if we applied for CAP and yet our names wasn't posted there? how can we claim our checks?
how can we be updated about it?
its been years already
me 1 until now we don't have another check may son will be finishing collage. I hope CAP can check other applicant why until now they have only 1 check given to them....
@Anonymous from Tarlac: It is stated in CAP's official site where to claim your checks. Please visit their official site for further enlightenment.
@2nd to the last Anonymous and Mace: According to my mother, what she did was present the Certificate of Scholarship to CAP representatives (Makati main office) with other documents. She then received a claim stub, to be presented upon claiming of checks. That's the time the long wait started and names began to be uploaded in the Internet. I'm not sure if checks will be available for those who did not undergo the mentioned procedure. Best of luck to all!
thanks i"ll try again to follow up.but all said requirements where pass already. anyway i try again.
please show me if my son and my daugthers check can be claim now. warlito mary sheena, mary bernadette trinidad.
CAP office in tarlac has been closed.
@Anonymous #1: If you have passed the requirements already, I think all you have to do is wait for the scholar's names to come out. Good luck.
@Anonymous #2: Please check the names yourself. I have already provided the links for you.
ha haha ha hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can we know the phone number of CAP Makati? thanks
@Anonymous: Please check out this link for more information re: the requirements and contact details. Thank you.
May i know the contact information of cap san fernando,pampanga and their web site? I have lost my photo copies but have submitted the original documents to them since last march 2010.puwede pa po ma-claim ang check ko kahit wala yun photo copies ko.thanks.
@Anonymous: As far as I know, CAP only has one website. (Link on post above). I think you just have to have the claim stub and policy you're good. :)
uhm how do i tell in the letter that i'm terminating my plan?
@Anonymous: Better contact CAP representatives so they can assist you. :)
my sister and I terminated the educ plans of our kids more than 3 years ago and all we got is just 1 check each. The CAP employees told us that we should apply again after 3 months which we did. But its now six months and the next check had not been released. I guess the government should see to it that this company must fulfill its obligation to those who had terminated the plans. Its quite disappointing to lose our investment . . .
paano po kami pwede magfollow up? thru email po ba p sa phone? ano po phone number ng CAP?
in my experience i waited 4 yrs. 2 claimed a check & i got only 2 checks so far. well, its a matter o patience but you can inquire by going in their office.
At least CAP is doing something that they can pay back to their clients.
I can see that a lot of people are really aggravated with the situation to the point that they actually think this blog's created by CAP. haha. Anyway, my parents' got me the CAP plan too but haven't got returned checks yet. Our only hope is for the government to actually do something about this. Patience everyone and prayers. It's the best we can do for now.
Thanks for the post by the way! You're a great help. :)
@Anonymous: Thank you! Glad somebody commented something other than a CAP question I know nothing about. Thanks for reading and good luck!
why is it that my name is not listed in the refund cheques?

Hi, Im Cathrine Go, 16. I'm worried about my educ. plan because I'm turning college this school year. Sa Malabon yung branch namin dati. I visited the site where I can find the list of the inclaimed checks, then clicked the Makati branch kasi wala namang Malabon kaya one sure thing is, sa Makati yung record namin. But I did'nt found any tracks of ours. Maliit palang ako(about 6), Im always with my mom when she used to pay for my plan and ask her kung para saan yun. Sabi nya para daw kapag nag.college na ko. Thats why I'm very emotional about this. I hope may makapag-inform sakin. Big help po yun. Thanks and GOD bless!

Puede po pakitxt na lang ako sa cel # 09159660713 kung may check na po si Marcelyn U. Arabit, ang subscribers name po Rosalinda S. Ojeda. Thank u very much! God Bless us all!

CAP ang education ng 2 ko pang anak (3rd and 2nd year College).makonsensya naman kayo mga owners ng CAP,who invest our hard earned money on businesses for your own good habang kami naman ay nababaon sa utang for our children's education.mabuti pang parusahan kayo.

My grandmothers name is Ma. Paz S. Jamorin.
Thank you! Please reply
I just want to remind you again that I am not at all affiliated with the CAP company. I do not work there, I do not know anybody who do and thus cannot help you with your problems. All I know about claiming checks, I've posted already in this post and on another entry (link posted above).
I understand your frustration and anger and I really do regret not being able to help. I publish the comments (including NAMES, POLICY NUMBERS & SITUATIONS) just so maybe another person could assist you with your queries, but aside from that, there is really not much I can do.
Thank you for visiting my humble online abode and I wish the best of luck to all.
Akala ko ba noon sabi ng isang matapang na dating senador, gagawin niya ang lahat para maayos na ang mga problemang ito. Nasan na siya, bakit biglang natahimik. Dahil ba kaya Mayor na lang siya ngayon
Sana makialam na dito sa problemang ito c P-noy. Aba kawawa naman kami. Ang lalaki ng mga building ng CAP at saka ang dadaming swelduhang empleyado. Ano ba ang mga ginagawa nila? Eh kung kaya ibinebenta na lang iyong mga ari-arian nila at saka nagbabawas ng empleyado. Eh di may maibabayad na cla sa amin.
refund checks of contribution of Monjardin Canirove and Monjardin Mieco Vren. Pls. do something good for all the plan holders.
minsan lang ako nakakuha ng check ng 2 anak k hanggang ngayon wala ng kasunod my makukuha pb ako?
I want to know if there are unclaimed checks for terminated plans? please reply...
I disagree with the option made of CAP refunds. I want CAP to pay the pre-need plans I paid in 5 years each to my two sons when they were barely one-month old [I was one month pregnant then. Mt children were born in 1995, 1997]. Now, my eldest son is in college, alas, he ended up enrolling in a state university while he should be in one of the promised-universities. CAP, would you care contacting CAP Holders which you know you are supposed to pay at this time.
Sana naman po makakuha na kami ng check , madami po kaming naging utang para mairaos pag aaral ng mga anak ko na ikinuha ko ng CAP, ano nga po ba ang action ng gobyerno to resolve this problem, napakadami pong kabataang umasa sa CAP ang hindi nakapag-aral..
still follow up my reimbursement and termination of contract for 5 lonnnnngggggggggg years, til now i don"t have checks to receive and i don"t when they will be releasing that checks. I always send an e-mail to CAP but they did not reply with my email........Pls. do some action regarding this matter.......

FINALLY, CAP issued one(1)check for the REFUND of my expenses due to non fulfillment of their obligation.
CAP owner and management should be punished for this. Why until now, nothing has been done by the government?? Di na, dapat paniwalaan ang mga ganitong klase ng institution. In order for the public to put back their confidence and trust the government should do something (make new laws that shall protect plan holders from these shenanigans!!!!.

After the first batch of my checks last April, I am anxiously and restlessly awaiting for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th despatch of my 4 plans (4 checks). I wonder for how long is the waiting period after the other because, as I was told when I was in CAP Makati last April, 2011, the next payment will be after 3 months which I assume to see my name in the list last July or at least this first week of August. This issue is absolutely absurd. I applied my termination since 2004 and received my first (installment) checks April 2011, so just imagine the anguised caused by the inapropriate use of people's hard earned mony. It is just ridiculous..This CAP management stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was 1997 when I availed for the educational plan of my son. I terminated the plan after 10 years (2007) but until now I still have not yet received any notice about the status of my claim. Can somebody from CAP explain please and advice when can I get some of my money back!!
sir/ma'am ang tagal ko na pong nag-aantay 2002 pa ako nag apply ng terminet.( ARDAE ANGELIKA MARQUEZ ARDEZA )5 taon gulang palang ang anak ko ngayon 14 taong gulang na sya.Hanggang ngayon wala parin pong cheke na dumadating,pakifollow up naman po.

ma'am , bakit wala pa din ung akin, LEO ANDREW A. DIONELA po ang name, kailangan na po kasi, thanks
very ironic mga kasama. kapag tayo nadelay sa payment natin sa credit card or some other bills, interest agad, tapos bandang huli kung di mo na bayaran CMAP positive ka na o kaya may matinding penalty ka like pwede kang maputulan ng linya kung celphone yan o kaya ay kuryente kung kuryente man yan, etc.
sira na forever ang credit standing mo kung credit card ang di mo bayaran. pero ang mga hinayupaks na may-ari ng CAP, libo-libong claimants ang hindi binabayaran, at wala na yatang balak bayaran. niloloko lamang, baka ang binabayad interest lamang ng kanilang kayamanan kaya naman kakarampot at iilan lang ang nabibiyayaan.
ang mga may-ari, malamang pagolf-golf lang yang mga yan at nagpapakabundat sa kayamanan nila. pagkatapos nating bunuin ang paghuhulog sa loob ng napakahabang panahon, tapos etohhhhh, termination pay na nga lang, halimbawa, di pa maibigay.... GRABEH! sobrang injustice na ito...
sabi ng korte dapat bayaran lahat ng kanilang obligations within a prescribed period pero they (CAP) have long long been in default... dapat sila ang i-penalty. asan na ang batas??? nakakagalit, di bah!
mga kasama, voice-out! dapat mag-ingay na ulit tayo sa media...

What web site to I do (CAP) for the listing of checks to be pick up?
Thank you,
i am now in 3rd year collage but i only receive one check,in my 1st year. i must receive 1 check every year in my collage but my 2 checks now are long over due. i always go to their office here in Tuguegarao but they always told me that the releasing of checks now will be at manila so i must wait here in Tuguegarao for the checks to arrive in their office. my due date is october 1 so i must receive now 2 checks. ive been waiting for my 2 checks for 2years now. AKALA KO MATUTULUNGAN AKO NG CAP SA AKING PAF-AARAL SA COLLAGE PERO BIGO AKO SA KANILA. MASYADO NILA AKONG PINAPAASA NA MAKUKUHA KO IYONG CHEKE KO, PERO WALA NAMAN AKONG NAKUKUHA.

i"m looking for the list of unclaimed cheque..
i just want to ask where are the listings of unclaimed checks filed at head office? My daughter graduated college already and still we haven't received the remaining balance.
may nakakaalam po ba ng contact no. ng CAP? kasi po lahat ng numbers na nasa akin ay walang sumasagot. Di ko po kasi ma-access yun list of unclaimed checks for NCR. Suppose to be ay matatanggap ko sana ang claim ko noong Oct 2007 but until now wala pang balita sa account ko. salamat po.
Bakit nga nawala un list of uncleaimed check @ makati area? Pls uPdate us. thanks.
Kung may puso ang lahat ng bumubuo ng CAP na nangako ng magandang bukas para sa mga planholders nila, dapat cla ang gagawa ng move para magcommunicate sa mga tao lalo na doon sa mga nagfile ng termination na umaasang kahit papano eh maibalik ang pinaghirapan nilang pera.Napakatagal na panahon na ang ipinaghintay nila subalit hanggang sa mga oras na ito ay wala silang ginagawang paraan para maibalik ang mga pera nila o magpadala man lng sila ng kahit kapirasong sulat para malaman kung ano na ang status ng kanilang claims.
I could not also find the list of unclaimed checks in Makati branch in the CAP website. Kindly have it posted and be sure it us updated. It is a waste of time keep on coming back to the branch without getting anything. The person in charge in Treasury said that I have check already but I do really need to keep on following it up personally if this has already been funded. For me, the least that the CAP Mgt can do is to update the listing and post it immediately. We will highly appreciate this gesture.thank you

When US 93, a highway passing through the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes' Flathead Reservation in Montana, was redone in 2006, they also built about 40 wildlife crossing structures.
In this way, the roadway developers and consultants hoped to minimize animal-vehicle collisions and ensure ecological diversity by providing connections between habitats. The crossings consisted of pipes, tunnels, and overpasses.
Whisper Camel, a wildlife biologist for the CSKT, has been monitoring the use of the crossings using an infrared digital camera with a motion detector. Her findings show a range of animals using the passageways, including bears, river otters, bobcats, cougars, owls, coyotes, and elk.
The construction of the crossings and the evaluation of their effectiveness has provided invaluable insight into maintaining an ecological balance despite urban development.

It's That Day, Again!
Every April 15th (barring weekends), America's tax season comes to a close. As millions postmark their paperwork, file their taxes online, and make big plans for their refunds, let's take a moment to explore the history of the day Uncle Sam comes calling and how it evolved over time.
Lincoln, the Civil War, and the Revenue Act
Signed into law by President Lincoln on August 5, 1861, as a means to finance the Civil War, the Revenue Act was the United States' first federal income tax. Levying the earnings of anyone making at least $800 a year, the measure operated on a graduated scale, imposing the tax on gains from employment, property, imported goods, and vocation.
Over the decades, income taxes would be repealed, then later revived and collected on whatever industries were thriving, such as tobacco and alcohol in 1868. In 1895, the U.S. Supreme Court even deemed income taxes unconstitutional because they weren't proportionate to the states' populations. It wasn't until the Corporate Tax Act was introduced by Congress in 1909, later modified into the 16th Amendment and ratified in 1913, that the U.S. tax system we know today was put in place.
Tax Date Shuffle
Originally scheduled on March 1, 1914, approximately one year after the amendment was adopted, Tax Day shifted to March 15th in 1918, then to April 15th in 1955. Although speculation as to why this happened is widespread, it's believed that the date was moved to accommodate for the intense IRS employee workload. Some have wondered, however, if a possible reason is the increased interest the government can earn when certain taxes are withheld longer and refunds issued later.
Dreaming Big
As you make your way to the post office, tax preparer, or if you file online, no doubt you'll be dreaming of what to do with your refund. Here are a few tips on how you can make the most of it:
- Invest for retirement
- Save for a rainy day
- Pay down debt
- Donate to charity
- Broaden your career skills
- Take that dream vacation
- Weekend shopping spree
- Cup of coffee

Chevelle can indeed "Feel the power of a warrior" as their extended stay atop the active rock charts has been brought to an end by the battle anthem 'A Warrior's Call' from Danish metal quartet Volbeat.
After spending several weeks climbing up Billboard's Active Rock chart, Volbeat were finally able to end Chevelle's 13-week habitation of the top spot. 'A Warriors Call' swapped places with 'Face to the Floor' on the national airplay chart, marking the first No. 1 hit for Volbeat.
"I'm really honored that 'A Warrior's Call' has reached No. 1 on America's Active Rock Radio chart!" exclaimed Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen. "We're the first Danish band to achieve that, and with a song written for boxing champ Mikkel Kessler. Going No. 1 and topping acts like Foo Fighters and Nickelback, we never dared to believe! Volbeat would like to thank Universal Republic, all the radio stations, listeners and fans for their support!"
'A Warrior's Call' is the second single from the band's fourth album 'Beyond Hell/Above Heaven' — the first single 'Fallen' performed well but peaked at No. 11. Volbeat are currently touring North America with Megadeth, Motorhead, and Lacuna Coil as part of Gigantour, which comes to an end in early March.

Billy Crystal talks 'Monsters University' (interview)
BEVERLY HILLS -- Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton has signed on to star in "Fargo," an FX limited series inspired by the 1996 film.
"Fargo," which begins production in the fall, presents an all-new crime story and will feature no characters from the film. Thornton will play Lorne Malvo, a "rootless, manipulative" man who meets a small town insurance salesman and sets him on a path of destruction. The character is in the same vein as the one Steve Buscemi played in the award-winning film.
"I think people are going to be entranced with that show," FX president and general manager John Landgraf told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour on Friday. "It's really it's own thing but also true to the spirit of the original."
"Fargo" will be executive produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, the brains behind the film. It will run for 10 episodes and will most likely air next spring.

Thinking is a complicated process. A process that
can help you find a solution to a problem, or a process that can bring
about the very outcome you hope to avoid.
Over the past few years golfers have been advised to
have a strong pre-shot routine. This routine usually includes feeling
the swing or putt, seeing the flight of the ball and several other
elements designed to separate the thinking from the hitting aspects of a
The same applies to other set routine skills such as
kicking for points. You only have to watch Johnny Doyle or Colm Cooper preparing for a
set shot to see this. Unfortunately, many players include some
very destructive aspects in their pre-shot routine. One of the most
damaging of these is the negative image.
Remember that every time you think of what you want
to avoid, you practice making that mistake. The way the mind processes
information makes this nasty occurrence happen. Remember the old joke
about "Don't think of a purple cow," and, of course, you have to think
about that purple cow. You have to think about what you don't want to
think about because part of the process is to clearly identify the
subject, the purple cow.
Of course, a cow is an object and not an action. If
you think of an action, especially one that has a strong emotion
attached to it, your mind will automatically begin to recall and/or
create the experience.
Never ask yourself to do what you don't want to do.
This means that when you think of something your mind must process the
thought down to the fibres of your muscles.
When you think of a water hazard, and hitting it
into the water, your mind processes the thought and you must mentally
PRACTICE hitting the ball into the water. It doesn't matter if you want
it or not. If you think it, you practice it.
Avoid the thoughts that force you to practice what
you do not want to do. The best way to do this is to occupy your
thoughts with what you want. Focus on the centre of the goals (pick a
specific target behind the goals), focus on the feel of a good goal
kick, focus on the exact spot where you will put the ball. In the early
stages of shot preparation, look up the field, at the target and where
the mark is, but when you are ready to actually take your kick your
thoughts must focus on the positive, on success. When it's time to kick
the ball avoid all thoughts and/or images of failure.
Do not use thoughts such as: "I sure
hope I don't kick it there again." or "My last shot was far too short".
These negative thoughts force you to think about the very thing that
you want to avoid. When you think it, you practice it. Confidently hold
the image of the target and take your kick.
It would be ridiculous to believe that you can avoid
or eliminate all of your negative images or thoughts. You do not need
to fear having these images or thoughts, they will occur.
What you can learn to control is the effect that the
images have on your game. You do this by controlling when you have
them. This means that you control the sequencing of your thoughts.
If, as you prepare to kick at the goals, you
remember badly shanking a similar kick last week, don't panic. Simply
remember to take an extra five seconds and immediately go to a positive
image and recall a strong feeling of success.
Refocus your mind on the target and execute the kick
with all the confidence a good shot requires. Never let a
negative image or thought be your last image or thought before you kick.
You will probably get what you mentally ask for, so don't ask for the
negative, ask for success.

Crazy Ass Carl Paladino Gets No Love from Hometown Newspaper
Certified nutcase Carl Paladino, who is running for governor of New York as a Tea Party Patriot, has been battered by the many ridiculous things he's said and done. Now his hometown newspaper, the Buffalo News, is endorsing Andrew Cuomo.
From Buffalo News' 'Cuomo for Governor' endorsement:
Two big problems: He doesn't have the temperamental balance to actually serve as governor. Anger, alone, won't cut it. Loose cannons — which is basically what 69 percent of voters in a new poll believe Paladino to be — don't succeed in leadership positions.
What is more, even if he could succeed, he has ruled himself out as a fit candidate as governor. His despicable comments on gays and lesbians, alone, demonstrated that he cannot be entrusted with representing New Yorkers equitably. The racist and pornographic e-mails he sent suggest the same about minorities and women. Those are not trifles; they are threshold tests. Paladino flunked.
Ouch! After giving Cuomo the nod, the paper goes on to list Paladino's paltry contributions to the state of New York just to be nice and everything — like getting rid of toll booths on the Niagara Thruway and "restoring old buildings." And by "restoring," do they mean making millions of dollars by selling property in the Buffalo area? Wow, what a great service!
Anyway, getting snubbed by his hometown paper (and the Post) in favor of Cuomo has got to sting just a little. And, thankfully, pretty soon we'll all forget who this buffoon is/was.

Home to more than 4.5 million people, Kolkata, India has a fascinating transportation network. A recent visit to the city revealed bicycles, motorbikes, taxis, buses, rickshaws, cyclerickshaws, cars, trucks, and trams crowding roads already thickly congested with pedestrians, students, street vendors, and parked cars. Perhaps as a result sharp-witted Indian critics have described traffic conditions in Kolkata's urban core as "hell" or worse.
Yet however uncertain and, at times, chaotic, the journey, Kolkata's transportation infrastructure continues to move people and goods through the city. Indeed, the striking part of the network is not the congestion or pollution, both of which one can find in abundance, but the resiliency and ingenuity of the system itself. As if by common understanding, drivers who find their lane blocked, identify the obstacle and rapidly commandeer control of the oncoming traffic lane. When faced with oncoming traffic in their lane, drivers approaching from the opposite direction may assume control of the open space or the sidewalk.
Kolkata's transit conditions are far from ideal. But for an aging metropolis that spreads across some 728 square miles and is home to every imaginable form of transport, the system still works. With little central planning, haphazard investment and limited law enforcement, the network supports more than hundreds of billions of dollars of economic activity and provides the foundation for one of India's great cities.
Perhaps the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) had Kolkata in mind when it issued its report on spectrum use in the United States. The report, entitled Realizing the Full Potential of Government-Held Spectrum to Spur Economic Growth, never mentions the roads of Kolkata, but it addresses a strikingly similar challenge: how to drive economic growth in an increasingly congested, increasingly chaotic environment where access to large, unencumbered swaths of infrastructure will prove time consuming at best and politically impossible at worst.
PCAST had a fairly simple recommendation: share the road. With the volume of mobile broadband data more than doubling every year over the past four years and continued growth expected, PCAST concluded that the "the traditional practice of clearing government-held spectrum of Federal users and auctioning it for commercial use is not sustainable" and recommended spectrum sharing instead. PCAST identified three key initiatives: "[1] immediate sharing by new low-power devices in two existing Federal spectrum bands; [2] [the] formation of a Spectrum Sharing Partnership Steering Committee (SSP) of industry executives to advise on a policy framework to maximize commercial success; and [3] [the] creation of an urban Test City and a Mobile Test Service that can support rapid learning in spectrum management technology and practices."
Detractors and supporters of exclusive-use licensing pounced on the PCAST report. Spectrum license holders portrayed the report as either far too optimistic about the prospects of commercially successful spectrum sharing, or far too pessimistic about the ability of the Federal Communications Commission to identify additional spectrum for licensed use, or both. Meanwhile, unlicensed spectrum users lavished praise on the report as a long-overdue antidote to putting auction revenues associated with exclusive-use licensing ahead of the innovation and entrepreneurship seen in the less heavily regulated unlicensed bands.
Both sides make strong arguments. For example, the commercial wireless industry's main lobbying organization, CTIA, was undeniably right when it noted that "[c]leared spectrum and an exclusive-use approach has enabled the U.S. wireless industry to invest hundreds of billions of dollars, deploying world-leading mobile broadband networks and resulting in tremendous economic benefits for U.S. consumers and businesses." Meanwhile, the Wireless Innovation Alliance, which boasts Microsoft, Google and other technology titans as members, also struck a chord when it noted that "computerized radio technologies could make better use of spectrum [than exclusive use licensing] . . . [by] potentially improve[ing] efficiency [over exclusive use spectrum-licensing models] by a factor of 40,000."
Yet seemingly lost in the debate over the relative merits of exclusive-use licensing and shared-use licensing is any sense of the many other policy objectives that the Communications Act charges the Federal Communications Commission with satisfying. These include: affordable service, rapid deployment, rural access, safety of life, and access for the disabled. Regardless of whether the government pursues dynamic band-sharing more aggressively than exclusive-use licensed spectrum auctions, or vice versa, the spectrum assignment model that the FCC chooses to pursue has little bearing on the core concerns of section 1 of the Communications Act, which charges the FCC to "make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges."
The FCC and its leaders have written eloquently and at some length about each of these goals. Universal Service, the FCC has written, is one reason why the United States has such a high telephone penetration rate, and Chairman Genachowski has noted the calls for universal broadband, which is "an essential ingredient for American economic competitiveness and job creation." Former FCC Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate called public safety and homeland security "the Commission's most important area of authority." And as the Commission noted in its Seventh Broadband Progress Report and Order, that speed of deployment is "an essential component of [broadband] availability."
But what the FCC has not done – and what the community of lawyers, scholars, economists and engineers that set the agenda for the FCC must do – is to focus less on whether to pursue licensed or unlicensed models of spectrum deployment and more on precisely how the FCC can satisfy the lofty goals of the Communications Act. The question is not whether a licensed or an unlicensed model will better serve the public. But rather what factors, under either model, will frustrate consumer expectations, raise prices, hamstring competition, or limit deployment. In an unlicensed environment, for example, constraints on access to critical rights-of-way threaten to limit the ability of unlicensed devices to provide critical capacity for broadband services. Similarly in a licensed environment, the lack of interoperability across common spectrum bands will curtail investment, harm consumers, and frustrate deployment. On both the issues of constraints of access and of interoperability, as well as on many other issues, the FCC has only taken the first steps to identify solutions to these problems.
The FCC faces strong and compelling arguments from the advocates of both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Neither model will singlehandedly solve the problem or carry the day. And industry and the FCC will almost certainly pursue an "all of the above" solution with extensive use of both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Advocates and policymakers should therefore avoid the tantalizing philosophical debate about the merits of the different spectrum-assignment models and instead get down to the hard work of deciding how these existing and fairly well understood models will promote competition, consumer welfare, rapid service, public safety and the other critical goals of the Act.
The FCC should ensure that competition and continued investment drive deployment, and it should consider these and other core policy goals when auctioning spectrum or allowing shared access. Likewise, industry and public interest advocates pushing for more spectrum resources should not overlook the need to establish equitable, pro-competitive rules of the road before a multitude of devices compete for limited space on our communications infrastructure. Not long from now, government radar, consumer smartphones, utility meter readers, WiFi hot spots, and other innovative devices will share spectrum bands. But with advance planning and careful attention to the fundamental goals of the Communications Act, the United States might prove able to capture some of the ingenuity of Kolkata's commuters without replicating its cacophony of horns and notoriously slow-moving traffic.
A version of this post originally was originally prepared for the Nov. 13, 2012 Silicon Flatirons Center's conference entitled "Looking Back to Look Forward: The Next Ten Years of Spectrum Policy."

Hi together,
Some months ago I developed a special php web application for mobile phones.
Our customers use Samsung Galaxy xcover with Android and Opera Mobile for browsing the application.
I use a JS functionality called "navigator.getUserMedia". I think it's very powerful, but there's something I'm missing.
Look: I use "navigator.getUserMedia" to give the end user the possibility to make snapshots and upload the images to my webserver directory.
And it works fine, really!
But - and that's my problem - I haven't found out how to change resolution of these phone snapshots.
I checked the whole JavaScript code if there's a possibility to define resolution information but without any luck.
I tried to change some JS code phrases to define and configure image resolution how I want and how I need them. But no success!
Now I'm not sure if it's generally a JS problem. Could it be that the "navigator.getUserMedia" functionality doesn't have the possibilities I need?
Is anybody there who had or has the same problem?
Did anybody solve it?

Drumroll, please: Group exiled until Council acts
When City Council cast a dragnet just last year to end amplified music on the Downtown Mall, they didn't expect to catch a cultural and crowd-pleasing Mall highlight, a group of African drummers, in their net as well. Mayor Dave Norris explains that the City's ban on over-75-decibel sounds, which was expanded in the summer of 2008 to prohibit noise 24 hours a day on the Mall, was meant to crack down on amplified music.
"What we really wanted to do with the noise ordinance," says Norris, "is apply it to the musicians on the Mall with speakers and loud amplification systems."
What Council is now learning is that it inadvertently halted African drumming, a local favorite that several Councilors say they want to stay on the Mall.
On a recent Friday night, after a several-week hiatus, the group of drummers picked up their instruments and headed back onto the Mall. An eclectic ensemble of various ages and races, and led by their tall and fearless leader William "Whit" Whitten, the group set up between Five Guys and Enoteca restaurants, amidst the bustle of Friday after Five gatherers.
At 7pm on July 3, they began drumming, and within minutes a crowd of nearly 40 had circled, some dancing to the rhythm while others were invited to join in on an empty drum. Ten minutes later, just as Whitten transitioned to a smaller drum, a police officer approached with a handheld device and could soon be heard telling Whitten that he'd exceeded the 75-decibel limit and needed to stop.
Sergeant Randy Higgins, who was supervising the other officer that night, says that a Mall resident had called the police. The drummers, motivated by booing and chants of "more drums," continued on at a softer level, but according to Whitten, "once you start playing you just can't cut it down."
Indeed, about ten minutes later, police informed the group that their drumming was about 85 decibels and demanded a halt. Ironically, Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo says that he had personally invited Whitten to perform that night "for the purpose of conducting some noise readings that would be reported back to the Council." Whitten says he didn't realize that getting stopped that night was a possible outcome.
The issue emerged in public about three weeks earlier when a citizen– calling drumming "one of the most uplifting events" for its ability to cross racial, socio-economic, and age borders–- urged City Council to bring back the drumming.
It appeared though that City Council needed little persuading after hearing that pleas from Linda McNeil during the June 15 Council meeting. All four members present said that they support the drumming and are ready to create a compromise or exception.
"What we need to do is figure out how to right our ordinance in such a way that it allows drumming," said Councilor David Brown at the meeting. "The drumming is a good thing for [Charlottesville]."
Not everyone is so sure.
"It's a big headache for both me and my guests," says exeption-opposing restaurant manager Joe Finazzo. "They tell everyone else to leave; why not make the drums?"
Finazzo says guests at his Sal's Caffe Italia can't hear each other when the drumming is happening, and some have gotten so mad they've left without paying.
"People are trying to have a conversation," says Finazzo, "and the conversation's not there."
For his part, drummer Whitten, who's been drumming on the Mall since 1989, says he's willing to constrain his playing to certain hours and certain locations.
"City Council is really working in our favor, and I think the council and everybody will come up with some sort of solution," says Whitten.
Council has yet to present an ordinance amendment to bring drumming back to the Mall.

Wasn't it obvious as hell that's where the re-bricking was headed? It was the biggest step towards turning the downtown mall into blandsville. The noise from the amphitheater can be heard in Belmont and well into the Woolen Mills, but then that's another story considering who's involved.
Many people can afford and enjoy dropping $50 for a meal outside. Others opt for a slice of pizza and some street entertainment. I do not understand why the diners have more rights and value in the eyes of some. I remember when few restaurantd on the mall had outside seating. The pedestrian traffic was a lot less crowded and music was enjoyed without complaints.
BTW, I was there when the police stopped the drumming. They were playing a block and a half away from Sal's. On a crowded Fridays After Five, you can barely hear drumming from that far away.
I wouldn't be surprised if anyone left Sal's without paying. Especially if they ordered the house wine.
Why not locate the drums down by the transit center away from restaurants ?
Great story, well written and informative. I know I miss the drums, and I am glad to see media attention on the issue.
I agree- if they're only going to play at certain times and in certain locations, store and restaurant owners should give them a break. I personally think it would attract more business - I love their music!(Great picture by the way)
There is NO sense to how city council is making these decisions. The Pavilion music exceeds that decible limit, and yet they choose to persecute these small local musicians instead.
That being said, the drumming is only "good" for the drummers and the spectators, not necessarily for the city and obviously not for the Downtown Mall residents. Moving the drumming elsewhere will simply serve to bother other residents who will then have to listen to the drumming. Don't get me wrong, we love drumming, but it's a big difference when one CHOOSES to listen to it VS. having it FORCED upon you while you are trying to enjoy the privacy of your own home.
How would all of the mall walkers feel if that same drumming group where transported to their front yard every day after 5pm when they were getting home after a long day at work?
This noise issue is a REAL on for our city and having one's home invaded by noise should not be accepted. We too in Belmont have been suffering ever since the Pavilion went in and continue to do so with the Belmont businesses who (with the exception of Mas) care little for the negative effects that their noise, traffic, and drunken patrons have on our neighborhood. The city and these businesses are making money ON OUR BACKS. And the strain is too much.
It will be interesting to see how the city responds to all of these issues, besides making ineffectual promises to residents that they will fix these issues while continuing to allow the situation to be out of control.
Again, the music and the events are great, but the enjoyment of some should not come at the expense of quality of life of others.
I's always amused me how people move downtown to live in a vibrant neighborhood, then complain about the vibrancy of the neighborhood. This is not a new phenomenon - the noise has always existed, and so have the complaints. Anybody remember the short-lived Jewish Mother?
It's irrational and unfair to blame the drummers if your restaurant patrons leave without paying, just as it's irrational to take your drumming anger out by leaving a restaurant without paying. Seems to be a restaurant management issue, not a drumming one. Maybe Mr. Finazzo should try marketing to the drum fans who are already there a few feet from his restaurant rather than seek to run them off.
I guess the City needs to decide whether they want a downtown area that is interesting, exciting, entertaining, and lively, or if they want small town peaceful street where people can sit in the taxpayer-funded sidewalk cafes and whisper to one another. You can't have both.
And seriously, you can't enforce a 75 db limit on the mall and exempt the very loud Pavilion 200 feet away.
Music Lover-- the terms "vibrant" and "lively" are a matter of semantics. To some people, it means dining al fresco with a jazz trio playing. To others, it might mean African drumming.
I love drumming. I also love punk music. However, neither of those art forms is very conducive to most people's idea of a pleasurable dining experience. People go to the Downtown Mall for many reasons-- among them to hear music, see art shows, and have a relaxing dinner. Like most people, my dining companions and I like to actually carry on conversations while we eat. This means that when walking the Mall to select a restaurant, we will bypass the one with jackhammers/construction, punk music, or drumming immediately adjacent. The owner of Sal's is well within his rights to ask that people not drum outside his restaurant.
The only thing we agree on is that the Pavilion, and its owner Coran Capshaw, are extended privileges that few in Charlottesville receive.
Why can't the village apply the noise regulations to all the screaming babies on the mall? Make noise, pay the price.
Unfortunately, the decibel level allowed in the amphitheater was included in the lease with the City from the very beginning. Since then, it has become clear to everyone without hearing problems that the music was being too loud all over the Mall to the point of being obnoxious, including the drumming. Loud does equal good. Apply the ordinance across the board. As I alwasys, in Charlottesville, the rules depend upon who's asking.
I can hear the unamplified music just fine.

The rabbit on this week's cover by Adeline Heurteau seems perfectly appropriate, but not simply because of the Easter holiday. The artist has had rabbits as pets since she was five years old, including a relatively recent one named Ko Ko. Rabbits are part of Heurteau's French background. Come to think of it, these animals are also a part of American pop culture: consider Bugs Bunny and Brer Rabbit.
Heurteau's rabbits are not like American cartoon or literary rabbits, however. Hers are all her own: somewhat surreal with their exaggerated textured skin and large size. There's even one animal that has a black head and a white body. The cover is mysterious, with the title "The Island." The rabbit in the foreground evokes our imagination. We wonder what's happening in the background, what "plot" or story is developing.
The cover image is part of your new rabbit series. Does the series have an overall theme relating to rabbits in particular?
The images show nature in unexpected ways and bring me back to my innocent childhood. Rabbits are everywhere in France. They are popular pets.
Not so much in America. Yet, I do see what you mean by nature being conveyed in "unexpected ways." There is a fantasy-like and surreal ambience communicated in your paintings. Perhaps that's how you remember your pets when you were growing up. Tell me about your latest rabbit.
Ko Ko lived in my apartment in New York, but he died four years ago. He thought he was a cat; he had a box in the bathroom like cats, and I never put him in a cage. When friends would come to see me, he would run around them and jump on the sofa. If he didn't like someone, he would bite them. Ko Ko wasn't scared of anything, not even big dogs. When he was with a friend's dog, he would think he was a lion.
How did you get involved with painting in the first place? Did you come from a family of artists?
My father was an architect. When we moved to a place outside Paris when I was five—it was similar to Westchester—my father built our house. I was surrounded by animals, by the way, including rabbits. My grandmother wanted my father to go to art school, but they said his hands were too big to be an artist. Mine are like his. So he became an architect. My sisters are artists, too. One sister makes stained glass; my youngest sister is in fashion.
How about your own training as an artist? Was there someone who particularly influenced you along the way?
I've been drawing since I was a little girl. But I first went to a university, which was north of Paris, and studied economics. I was so bored. Then I went to a private school and studied fashion design, but I wanted to paint. I lived in Dubai and took classes in painting there. I finally moved to Manhattan and studied at the New York Academy of Art for two years. John Wellington was my master teacher, and we became really good friends. I painted with him in his studio every day and learned more than I had at a school.
Has travel influenced your work?
I took a road trip across America in November after spending two months in Los Angeles. I drove through 18 states. I especially liked Nashville, New Mexico and Washington, D.C.
Adeline Heurteau's works are currently on view at Southampton's Chrysalis Gallery, 2 Main Street, 631-287-1883.

Lululemon may be making headlines for see-through pants, but as a yoga practitioner and teacher, there's something else about the company we should be discussing -- the ramifications of its dominance of the market.
Let's get a few things straight. Lululemon was the first Canadian company to recognize the need for proper yoga wear. They offered good quality pants and tops that were pretty to look at, felt lovely, moved with the body and were made with the perfect blend of Lycra and cotton. To this day, their advertising is inspiring and links the benefits of yoga practice to all aspects of life by using slogans such as "Yoga is my secret weapon for triathlons" and "Live the Life you Love." They have always, and will continue to, inspire people to step on the mat and begin a yoga practice and to their credit, has impacted many lives worldwide.
The interesting thing about the issue around Lululemon's recall of pants over material it deemed to be too see-through, is that it's nothing unique – many other brands have the same problem. As someone who spends every day wearing yoga pants and teaching up to 14 classes a week, I conduct a test in the change room before purchasing any kind of yoga pants. I face away from the mirror and bend over into a forward fold, and then take a peek at my butt to gauge the see-through factor.
Many lovely brands of yoga pants, sadly, fail the test. I have actually taken to wearing longer shirts or mini spandex skirts over my pants to avoid shocking and disturbing my students with all the details of my anatomy or underwear choice (I prefer to go commando or wear a thong to avoid panty lines).
What I find so displeasing about Lululemon are some bigger issues. Firstly, the price. There is no reason to spend $100 for a pair of quality yoga pants, and for that money, I don't find the quality much better than the yoga pants I buy at the Gap for $30. My other issue with Lululemon is that, over the years, it seems to me that the company has tried to become the pant for all reasons and seasons, and has changed their style to be, what in my mind, is more of a "running pant," and not what I want in a yoga pant.
Newbies to yoga still flock to Lululemon and you can see their symbol being advertised by wearers in most classes. I think it's because it's an easy decision – the company has become the go-to place for yoga wear, especially among men who don't know where else to go. Even in Calgary, which is a large city with a strong yoga presence, we only have a few stores selling exclusively to yogis, such as Exhale on 17th Avenue S.W., so Lululemon still has the market cornered. This little bit of controversy over the recall of pants probably won't change that.
Serious yogis in my circle don't wear the latest Lululemon products, but hold on fairly tightly to the old Lululemon products of 10 years ago. These garments fit differently, were designed just for yoga, and had a certain style that is no longer being sold in there stores today.
If Lululemon takes its customers seriously enough to recall thousands of pants over sheerness, I'd like to see the company take its yoga customers just as seriously. Let's hope they get back to offering pants at a reasonable price that fit into the unique demands of real yoga.

Athletics at Lewis & Clark College
May 15, 2014
At Lewis & Clark, more than 20 percent of the student body participate in one of 19 NCAA Division III sports. Students don't compete for sports scholarships, or cut short their educations to go pro. Instead, our students thrive in an environment in which they can pursue athletics while fulfilling their academic potential.
Hear our students talk about managing coursework and sports, and what it means to be an athlete at Lewis & Clark.
