Did you see the two detention stories in USA Today today?
April 02, 2009 - Posted by Mario Moreno
In the same issue of USA Today, we have the Associated Press reporting on immigrant detention conditions, while Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, defends the current detention system for immigrants in a letter to the editor. It is a curious juxtaposition.
Immigrants held by the federal government are being detained in a squalid basement where conditions are foul-smelling and dirty, a civil rights group said in a lawsuit.
Upward of 200 detainees are at times crammed into temporary holding rooms in the basement of a downtown federal building, with as many as 60 immigrants in each room, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement late Wednesday.
Then in his letter responding to an earlier USA Today editorial which raised questions about immigration detention policies that have seen U.S. citizens detained, Rep. Smith writes,
Individuals who broke our laws to come here illegally will not automatically comply with our laws after they are caught and ordered to leave. We cannot afford to pretend they will…The U.S. immigration detention system works and serves a useful purpose.
So the senior Republican in charge of U.S. immigration policy is proud of the immigration detention system, which has expanded faster than any other incarceration system in our history, including the expansion of incarceration associated with the war on drugs (and we know how well that's working out).
Rep. Smith discounts the probability of U.S. citizens being wrongly detained, essentially arguing that because immigrants lie, we need to hold all people until they can prove they are citizens (a deft reversal of "innocent until proven guilty").
He also says USA Today's editorial "ignores the fact that immigration detention is critical to enforcing U.S. laws." True enough; there is a need to detain and deport some people, especially violent, hardened criminals who pose a threat to the community.
But even if you want hardened criminals to serve hard time under duress, it seems we are giving the same treatment to people fleeing religious, ethnic, political or racial persecution and violence awaiting their asylum cases to be heard (in our horribly backed-up judicial system, which Rep. Smith also helps oversee).
The Associated Press goes on:
Detainees end up in the basement for a range of reasons. Some are in the country illegally, while others arrived with a visa and overstayed, or are claiming asylum. Some are felons fighting deportation after completing prison terms.
The holding rooms typically contain one or two non-private toilets, one sink and no soap or sanitary products, the ACLU said, and conditions are foul-smelling and dirty.
ACLU attorney Marisol Orihuela said sometimes women who are menstruating are denied sanitary supplies and some immigrants were denied access to their medicine.
"The conditions are absolutely horrid and inhumane," Orihuela said.
Rep. Smith, with as much of a straight face as we can muster, we wish you plenty of good luck in defending America's immigration detention system, the status quo of detention conditions and procedures, and the underlying immigration laws that the system is meant to enforce. Like the jobs many immigrants have themselves, Rep. Smith's job of defending the current system and fighting efforts to reform it is probably one of the hardest jobs in America.

The fanboys flocked. The tech press praised. (Well, mostly.) On Tuesday, Apple introduced the long-awaited iPhone 6, the company's first new smartphone model since iPhone 5's debut two years ago. In fact, Apple announced two new iPhone 6 models — both with larger screens and faster A8 processors.
In just the past few years, digital ad spending in the automotive industry has risen quickly, and this growth shows no signs of stopping. According to eMarketer, the auto industry spent a staggering $5.11 billion on digital advertising in 2013. This year, that number will rise about 14.4 percent to $5.85 billion. Projections show that automotive advertising dollars will continue to steadily migrate to digital in the years to come.
While typography might not be a water-cooler topic, it has over the past few years emerged from design circles and entered our wider industry discourse. Choosing the right font for any form of written communication material has become a concern no longer confined to single departments, especially in the case of brands. From readability to aesthetics, a knowledge of typefaces is now an essential attribute of the contemporary brand executive.

Whenever I can't decide if I want to polishes that are very much alike, I wear them together. One of these days was when I wasn't sure I needed to own this many metallic charcoal greys, so I put on Illamasqua Snap (on ringfinger and middlefinger) and OPI Lucerne-tainly look marvellous (rest of the nails).
It was seriously invisible that I had chosen two different polishes, unless one looked closely. In the bottle they look as if they are from different worlds, but on the nail the difference is less apparent; Snap looks smoother and lighter, while Lucerne-tainly looks marvellous is more glittery.
I figured that, as I was wearing grey in grey on my nails already, I could wear grey in grey for the rest of my outfit too; with one colorful exception.
My blouse is from J.Crew, it's not usually my color, but I wanted to take a leap, and now I love it. It's not even that bad on me, color wise, right? The blazer is from WE and the skirt is from HEMA. My slippers are from Oysho (last year).

Lots of Senate speculation, including speculation about getting to 60 votes and speculation about stripping Joe Lieberman of his committee chairmanship. I've heard less speculation about what John McCain will do. He's an old man, and by all accounts is neither well-liked by his Senate GOP colleagues nor does he like them. Is it so implausible that he'll just retire after the election; take his toys and go home to one of his eight homes? His successor, appointed by Janet Napolitano, would presumably be a Democrat. Maybe to balance things out, he and Lieberman can simultaneously retire (Connecticut's governor is a Republican), and ride off into the sunset together.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Swine Flu FAQ
Help! I've been exposed to H1N1 swine flu. What should I do? continued...
Instead, the CDC advises at-risk individuals to call their health care providers if they are exposed to flu. The provider may choose to write a prescription for Tamiflu or Relenza, to be filled only if flu symptoms appear. Or the provider may ask the patient to call again at the first sign of flu, at which time a prescription will be written.
Don't wait for a rapid flu test. The tests often give negative results even in people who really have H1N1 swine flu. If you've got flu symptoms and you're at risk of severe disease, start taking flu drugs right away. The drugs work best when taken within 48 hours of the first symptom, although even when taken much later they can prevent severe illness.
What if you aren't at risk and don't have to care for an infant?
In that case, the CDC's basic advice is for you to stock up on chicken soup, line up some tender loving care, and plan to stay home if you get sick. The vast majority of otherwise healthy people who get H1N1 swine flu pull through just fine, after a few miserable days of flu symptoms.
BUT: The flu is a tricky disease. If you do get the flu and develop any of the warning signs of severe disease -- especially trouble breathing, or getting worse after feeling better -- call your doctor right away. It's especially important to watch younger children for signs of severe disease, such as irritability, refusal to eat, trouble waking, bluish or grayish skin color, or a fever that goes down and then shoots back up.
If I think I have swine flu, what should I do? When should I see my doctor?
If you have flu symptoms, stay home, and when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. Afterward, throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. That will help prevent your flu from spreading. If you can do it comfortably, wear a surgical mask if you must be around others.
If you have only mild flu symptoms, you do not need medical attention unless your illness gets worse. But if you are in one of the groups at high risk of severe disease, contact your doctor at the first sign of flu-like illness. In such cases, the CDC recommends that people call or email their doctor before rushing to an emergency room.
But heed these signs of a medical emergency:
Children should be given urgent medical attention if they:
- Have fast breathing or trouble breathing
- Have bluish or gray skin color
- Are not drinking enough fluid
- Are not waking up or not interacting
- Have severe or persistent vomiting
- Are so irritable that the child does not want to be held
- Have flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and a worse cough
- Have fever with a rash
- Have a fever and then have a seizure or sudden mental or behavioral change.

Récemment, Kelly Scott, la célèbre joueuse de curling de Colombie-Britannique, a eu l'occasion de se porter bénévole dans l'école de son fils, dans le cadre du programme Rocks & Rings de Capital One. Or, non seulement a-t-elle fait découvrir le curling aux écoliers, elle est montée sur la glace avec eux. Voici son reportage.
British Columbia curling star Kelly Scott recently got a chance to volunteer at her son's school with the Capital One Rocks & Rings program. She not only brought curling to his school but also later got on the ice with his classmates. Here is her story.
The 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be hosted by Montreal for the first time in the 32-year history of the event, Feb. 1-9 at the Maurice Richard Arena. The Canadian women's curling championship was contested in the city once before, in 1979, prior to taking on the Scotties title.
Renée Sonnenberg relished what could be the defining moment of her competitive curling career with a resounding victory over two-time world women's champion Kelly Scott in the first qualifying match of the 2013 Capital One Road to the Roar, presented by Monsanto, Nov. 9 in Kitchener.
With a cold draw to the button, Edmonton's Val Sweeting has punched her ticket to the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings.

I'm very happy to welcome you to Monroe Mandolin Camp 2014! This camp has been set up with you, the Monroe-style fan in mind. It is a place where you and I can pursue and learn more about the musical language that Bill Monroe invented and nurtured. We are not looking at ourselves as "torch-bearers", but as educators and practitioners of one of the world's most exciting and valid mandolin styles.
It is my promise to you that we will do our best to always obtain for you the services of the most proficient and respected names in the genre. We will do our utmost to provide a productive and comfortable atmosphere for you and others of like-mind to focus on learning this art form that we love.
We understand that when you want bluegrass, you want the traditional sound and that's what we are offering you. It is not to say that we are closed minded-on the contrary. Our goal is to teach you how to use Mr. Bill's style so that you can express your own ideas and carry it forward to future generations of players.
I am very much looking forward to spending time with old friends and acquaintances as well as new, and making this an annual event-a destination for us to come to where we know that we are among fellow Monroephiles. I encourage you to learn as much as you can, to soak in the classes and jams, to listen intently to the stories, and above all to have fun. If we can do anything to make your experience better, let us know.
Life is good.
Mike Compton
Bluegrass music has attracted a diverse following worldwide. Bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe characterized the bluegrass genre as: "Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound."
In 1938, Bill Monroe and his brother Charlie broke up their successful duet act, the Monroe Brothers. Throughout the 1930s, Monroe continued absorbing black and white musical traditions, closing in on the style that would become bluegrass.
In 1938, Bill formed his own band, the Blue Grass Boys (named after his home state of Kentucky) . In 1939 he joined the Grand Ole Opry and was a member until his death in 1996. Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys lasted 58 years and saw more than 150 different musicians pass through the band. For more than half a century, being a Blue Grass Boy was the crowning achievement of many musicians' careers; for others, a stepping stone to establishing their own bands.
But it was the group, formed in 1946 — Lester Flatt (guitar), Earl Scruggs (banjo), Cedric Rainwater (bass), Chubby Wise (fiddle), with Monroe playing mandolin — that defined the classic bluegrass quintet. Below is a list of Monroe's Blue Grass Boys who played with the band throughout the decades. Please click on the link to see a list of the men who proudly called themselves a "Blue Grass Boy".

Media Release
Australian Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Senator the Hon. Ian Campbell
24 October 2005
The Australian Government has a new secret weapon to ensure that the fuel you buy at the bowser meets the high standards of the Fuels Quality Standards Act 2000, the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Senator Ian Campbell said today.
Checks are now being made by a new fuel sampling team operating throughout NSW, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT in a specially-designed vehicle to make sure fuel is up to scratch. These checks will be over and above those already under taken in others states.
The Minister caught up with the testing vehicle in Elwood today as it made its way around Victoria.
"The team's vehicle has been tailor-made to make handling fuel samples safer and more efficient and to allow new, high technology testing equipment to be used," he said.
"Team members are trained in drawing fuel samples. They transfer these to a laboratory where they are tested with the results reported to the Department of the Environment and Heritage. Previously, fuel sampling was carried out by state-based agencies on behalf of the Australian Government."
In 2004-05, 869 fuel samples had been taken from around Australia, with 33 (or 4 per cent) being found not to meet the standards. Of these, 26 were from NSW and seven from Victoria.
Since July 2005, 342 fuel samples had been taken, 246 of which were drawn by the DEH fuel testing team. Two of the samples taken by the team had not complied with the standards – one was from NSW and the other was from Victoria. Both were diesel with sulfur levels above the allowable 500 parts per million.
"The Department is currently investigating non-compliant fuels and has found suppliers in both NSW and Victoria who are adulterating automotive diesel and on-selling to consumers," he said.
"In the case of petrol, a number of instances have been detected of standard unleaded petrol being substituted for premium unleaded. We have also found cases where petrol has been supplied with more than 10 per cent ethanol.
"Suppliers should not need to be reminded that offences under the Act can lead to substantial fines. Corporations, for example, face a maximum penalty of $275 000 for altering or supplying fuel that does not comply with a fuel standard.
"Good quality fuels help to ensure better, cleaner emissions, more effective engine operation, and reduced pollution.
"Fuel quality standards have an ongoing positive impact on reducing the amount of noxious pollutants emitted by vehicles, including benzene, oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and particles."

Probably due to Frontier over selling the area but here we go in hopes of getting my speeds up.Every night speeds during peak times, download slows downDSLAM remote is less than a mile as I drove to it.I'm paying for Broadband Max and was told can't get anything higher in my area.Line test is perfect, no Latency issues just the speed complaints during high usage times.My contract is up in January of 2013 and was thinking of going Comcast but don't want to run into the same type of speed problems during peak usage times.included link to my test history if someone could take a look»/testhistory/1650601/c2983Transceiver StatisticsTransceiver Revision 184.108.40.206.1.1Vendor ID Code 4D54Line Mode ADSL_G.dmtData Path FASTTransceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream PathDSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 6944 448Margin (dB) 18.2 13.0Line Attenuation (dB) 27.5 12.0Transmit Power (dBm) 19.9 12.6FEC Errors 7563 239HEC Errors 4183 292CRC Errors 2067 0
It could be worse. I would sell both of my nuts to get what you have. I called and Frontier told me that I should be getting 6.9/740, that is what they show me set at. But I am set at 2624/640 and this is what I get.
Spoke with technical serviceI told them that this has been an ongoing issue for months.Ive replaced the modem, my line quality tests are fine, I'm less than a mile from the DSLAM and speeds only go down during peak hours.They put me on hold and told me they were aware of the congestion problem in my area and they are addind bandwith to the location by the end of December.Hopefully they are not pulling my leg.Contracts up and if speeds dont get better, Im going over to Cable
Where are you located? I am in Lawton, Michigan, and I am having the same issue. I have called tech support several times. First call was 3 weeks ago, and they said they were aware of the issue, and it should be fixed within a week, but it still slows way down at night. I have the 7mb down, 768k up package, and it runs great during the day, but in the evening, download slows to less than 1Mb at times.I also have another line with DSL Extreme (7000/768) on the Frontier backbone that I use for my business, and that line does not slow down at night. So some of their circuits are overloaded at night when everyone must be watching Netflix/YouTube.
Im located in Dutchess County, NYI think the business DSL is connected to different equipment.
I was informed that they will have all the CO's connected to the new fiber ring (in WV) by the end of December that there is equipment at some of the CO's that still needing swapped out in order to be able to go onto that new fiber ring.
Thanks, I'm in NY so maybe its something happening throughout Frontiers footprint.I hope so because my contract is up and these slow speeds are ridiculous.
Every single night during prime time I've been having horrible internet as well. Latency is all over the place in games, getting disconnected, etc. The SNR and Atten are fine and normal. It's apparently packet loss. When I run a program to continually ping google I run a steady 10% loss and also see 10%+ packet loss while on a teamspeak server. It's bad enough I only have access to 4mbit/768kbit but then not even being able to do what I'd like during the evening is too much. I'll be contacting Frontier and complaining.I'm in Pennsylvania, so I'm fed from Rochester.
Ive emailed the NorthEast Regional Managers with no response on the matter as of tonight.Ive been keeping a record of the speed decreases for the past several days.The speed degregation starts after 7:00 P.M. every nightIt's as if they are flipping a switch to automatically limit my connection.Trying to stream Netflix or Download from XBOX 360 or DirectTV on demand is a joke.$32.99 a month plus the modem fee is highway robbery.They have till Jan. 11th to get it straight or they are gone.I hate to leave because I have no latency issues since I complained a few years back while losing packets like crazy.It took them awhile to fix that but they did.2012 and we have to deal with this.EDIT:I found my old latency issue thread»Frontier DSL in NY Latency and packet loss issues
You say it's just a slow down but your ping is fine. How have you tested your latency?I just realized if you are basing your latency and loss on the line test or any line test from outside. some time ago Frontier did something to make any kind of ping or loss from an incoming test was changed so that it will not show the true status of data through the hop or device you are pinging. If you test each hop from your box going out you will see what I mean. Do a tracert to get the IP's and trust me test your first hop and you will see. Allso forget pings to most known big sites like google or yahoo I have allso found that Frontier's network favors them in out going pings too just stic to hops close to you try frontier.com this way you know you are on thier home network and you get real results as to where the trouble is.
I live in west central Illinois, and I get the exact same problem every night starting at just around the same time.
I am kinda experiencing the same things. I have the bonded DSL package. Promises 12 Megs. I am downloading around 60k..... (has taken me 45 mins so far to download a 35 MB update) Plus my DSL is going up and down constantly. I called Frontier 3 weeks ago, they said it was on their end. They finally contacted me today only to tell me that it was because they oversold their bandwidth and that I am just going to have to wait it out till they have a fix. I know this is the trouble with my slow speed, but I really don't think its whats causing my DSL to go up and down constantly. I just think they really don't give a crap about fixing the DSL.
Heres what I got back from Frontier management
quote:First, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I was on vacation, then wanted to work withThe Help Desk and our engineering department on your congestion issue. I spoke with the directorOf the Help Desk and apparently the Kristy you spoke with last week - looked at the engineeringReports and misread them, giving you information that was not accurate.You work out of our Greenhaven remote which we just upgraded to 6M this year. I spoke withOur engineering department and at this time there are no plans to upgrade this unit beyond the6M capacity until perhaps late 2013. I realize this is not what you want to hear - and since itAppears you use a number of devices, especially in the evening - we can offer you a second lineAnd split the devices for about $15 per month.If you feel you need a tech out to check your line - I will also be happy to set something up withYou. Please feel free to call me at 876-3535 anytime today or email me.Sincerely,Gail Griffin Hulle
quote:Gail, I really appreciate the response. Hope you had a great vacation.I'm certainly not looking for a consistent 6mb, but my speed degrades every night at the same time.Weeknights, after 7:30 P.M. or so it's like a switch is flipped.My speed goes from in the 5/6 range to the 1/1.5 range.After midnight or so, and during the daytime, speeds are back up.It doesn't matter if I have 1 device connected or 3.Getting a second DSL connection isn't an option because I'd have 2 DSL connections that are getting low speeds at night.I've tested this with only 1 wired PC connected and I've been keeping a spread sheet on the speed drops.It's consistent every night.My line quality tests are excellent, no latency issues to speak of and I was sent a new modem.I'm a little over a half mile from the Greenhaven Remote and my modem stats are fine I've been told.If you think having a tech contact me to try and resolve this is a good idea than please have one call me.My cell is xxxxxxxxxxx and my home is xxxxxxxxxxxxxPerhaps the tech can transfer me to another port at the DSLAM?When i was having latency issues a few years back, you guys were great in resolving the issue after a little prodding and me staying on top of the issue.Please have a tech reach out to me.Thank you Gail
Comcast in this area is advertising speeds up to 50MB download and Frontier just upgraded so they can push out a whopping 5-6mb during off peak hours.All while advertising how DSL is better because you have a dedicated line and don't have to share bandwith like cable.Talk about bending the truth a little?Then they have the nerve to charge $39.99 a month for it.How do companies like this survive?Unless, by some miracle a tech can do something at the DSLAM, I'm being forced to go to Comcast cable broadband.You have to Jan 11th of 2013 Frontier

Eric will be calling you today and he will move you to anotherUnit in that remote to see if that helps. I also forwarded this information on the our engineering groupTo see what can be done. I appreciate your patience.ThanksGail]
I just got done with their chat tech support and got a ticket escalated for the packet loss during peak hours nightly. I'll have to wait until Monday to see if anything is going to happen, but I do know the local tech so I should be able to talk to him and see if he knows what the problem is, whether they need more bandwidth or the equipment is faulty. I honestly hope the equipment is faulty because they should fix that. I don't see them giving us more bandwidth to the area.
I got the bonded 24 MB connection (rarely see 20+ MB). After a week it started disconnecting a lot losing the dns ip from frontier. The modem required a reboot to get service back and had to wait 5-10 minutes sometimes because it was not getting the dns ip from frontier yet. They came out a few times and blamed me and said everything was good to the dslam. I told them that I had it hooked up a few times to the test jack with the same results that it was indeedy on their end and that they needed to fix it. They made it a code blue since I had so much trouble, sending out two techs to look at it and they swapped out my modem which didn't help and finally decided that the dslam may need a software update. They said they can do that from their end and to give it an hour. After they done that my pings improved greatly from hundreds to below 100. It never disconnected me since and it has been 2-3 weeks now.Me and a few of my friends even with the bonded connections still see the speed drops in the day but see speeds of 10-15 MB after midnight.
Local tech guy hooked up the 7550 modem and said my lines looked fine while I wasn't here. Had to give him a call to let him know what was actually going on and that I only have loss issues during prime time hours. Found out that about two weeks ago he swapped me to closer equipment that has about 10 people on it and can support 48 or something, so it should be nowhere near capacity locally, unless it's malfunctioning. The interesting part is he said that unit runs straight to Rochester (from PA) on fiber, unless I misunderstood him. So sounds to me like there's a bottle neck in or on the way to Rochester rather than locally, since these issues popped up (or worsened to the point I noticed them) right after he swapped me to that equipment.I'm supposed to contact him assuming I get the same prime time loss again on the new modem and he'll try contacting the guys up in Rochester to see if anything can be done. Not sure anything will happen, but there's hope.I will say, it's disappointing that when we were swapped to the closer equipment, my SNR and Atten numbers improved a lot but now I'm stuck with terrible service during the evening when everyone is watching Netflix.
Just an update.Tech moved me to the System 2 rack with less customers.I've been monitoring my peak time speeds and they have been better.Hopefully they stay this way, because my connection is always solid except for the previous speed issues.I also heard Comcast is terrible in my area.
The local tech contacted someone higher up the chain and I was told they're looking in to the issue since they've been getting reports from other areas experiencing loss as well. I'll have to give them some time since this won't be something they fix in a day, but hopefully within a week or two they get it figured out since it seems to be a widespread problem.
Keep on them and I'm sure they'll get it fixed.Good Luck
Welcome to the club. Hopefully they actually get this fixed sooner rather than later. From what I was told I'm pretty sure someone in the company is aware it's an issue with at least one of their fiber lines being maxed out. The tech told me they need to talk to engineers to figure out a solution that I guess would just be re-routing people. All we can do is wait and see, but I'm getting tired of not even being able to play a game which uses almost no bandwidth because the packet loss is just absurd.
Update...After seeing some higher than 2.0 speeds since the transfer at the remote, my speeds were back in the crapper tonight...Here's the email I sent with the Frontier manager I've been corresponding with over this issue.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------Sorry Gail, I was a little premature in my previous email.Checking speeds tonight starting at 9:30 P.M. using 2 different websites, proved speeds were again very low.Sometimes less than a quarter of Frontiers advertised speed.Perhaps the documentation I've attached can be sent up the line to provide evidence that there is indeed a problem.Honestly it's only going to get worse and I'm being patient trying to help work with Frontier as well as help myself on this issue.I've attached my Excel spread sheet documenting speed measurements throughout different times of the day.I've also included screenshots of the most recent speed degregation tonight, during peak usage time(12-6-12)On a side note, maybe someone can forward this to Ms.Wilderotter.In an article I read from Stop the Cap! dated August 2011 Ms. Wilderotter said quoted in bold below......Frontier Claims Its DSL Service is Better Than Cable BroadbandFrontiers general business plan is to provide DSL service in rural areas where it faces little or no competition, and most of Frontiers investment has been to upgrade Verizons landline network to sustain 1-3Mbps DSL service, for which it routinely charges the same (or more) for standalone broadband service that its cable competitors charge for much faster speeds.But Frontier Communications CEO Maggie Wilderotter says their DSL service is better than the cable competition.A key differentiator between our network and cable competition is that you consistently get the speed you pay for, Wilderotter told investors on a conference call. Theres no sharing at the local level. High demand for bandwidth-intensive applications like video are putting pressure on all wired networks. To that end, we want to make sure that we have more than enough capacity to satisfy the expectations of our customers. Were spending capital in all parts of the network with specific emphasis in the middle mile, which will enable us to consistently deliver a quality customer experience for our customers of today and tomorrow.
pittpete1 - Hey consistent only means things will remain the same. It doesn't say they will improve. Also note that she is talking about the middle mile, nothing is mentioned about the tail segments to the customer.
1 recommendation
I Know one thing, I would rather go back to sharing my 25-30mbps cable internet with the whole block, than share my lousy 2.6mbps with anyone! lol
Heres the response email---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------Peter,Thank you for your due diligence and I am aware of the congestion issues and am working with ourDATA and engineering groups to work out a plan to relieve this. I am also willing to send a tech outTo make sure all is well in your home at no charge to you. Please let me know if you want thisSet up. Again, thank you for your patience.
Another response, looks like we are getting somewhere...I'll keep my fingers crossed---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Peter I AM working with our engineering people I need to have something verified in GreenhavenMonday as my CO tech is out sick today with any hope there may be something we can do forYou and your neighbors but will not know until this is complete. I will certainly keep you in the loop.I will also let Eric know what our plan will be this all came about this morning,Again , thanks
Looks like my persistence is paying off......Progress being made---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------Good morning Peter,Well there IS a light for you and our other customers in your area. My tech verified we can upgrade aDS1 to a DS3 to split between the 2 shelves in the Greenhaven remote. However this will not happenOvernight as we have to find a seller for the DS3 uplink cards for the Lucent equipment. Our engineerIs working on that today and will have date. We (my tech) then has to do some major rewiring in bothOur Hopewell office and the remote for this to work then work with our Data group to share the traffic.Once I have a date for the card delivery I will have a better idea - .Thanks again for your patience,Gail

Invader #1: Making Money from Murder
A Column by Mike Coughlin
July 16, 1988, Puerto Rico, Bruiser Brody was murdered by José González. More commonly known as Invader #1, that day, González asked Brody to discuss business in the showers. González approached Brody with a towel over his arm, concealing a knife, then proceeded to stab Brody in the stomach. Brody was left to die. González was, is, and probably always will be, a huge star in Puerto Rico. Witness subpoenas were lost, or wrestlers were simply intimidated to not testify against González, and he was later found not-guilty by reason of self-defense. OJ Simpson for Puerto Rican wrestling.
Legends of the Ring - Pro Wrestling Fanfests is organization that produces Meet and Greets with a number of pro wrestlers; you've probably seen and heard of these events, and maybe even gone to one or two. This company announced that at an upcoming event, González would be appearing to sign autographs and take photos. There is some confusion over whether LOTR booked González, or one of their approved vendors booked González – either way, LOTR is running a show where they will make money off the man who murdered Bruiser Brody.
This has upset a number of wrestling fans. They have gone to the LOTR Facebook fan page and protested, posting negative comments, and asking the quite obvious question, "How can you do this?" Without fail, every negative comment, post, or question has been removed. LOTR is attempting to ignore and/or hide all negativity surrounding this appearance.
I'm well aware that the wrestling business is filled with everything from pedophiles to rapists. None of this excuses in any way the attempt by people to promote for money the murderer of a human being. It's irrelevant that Brody was a wrestler, or famous, or well-known – González murdered a human being; that is all that matters. He was the Chris Benoit of his day.
"Get your picture taken with a wrestling legend" may be more palatable, but "Get your picture taken with a murderer" is more accurate. González's main claim to fame these days amongst modern North American wrestling fans will no doubt be as the man who killed Brody. Bringing him in, or permitting him to be brought in, to sign autographs and take pictures with people, as if he is just another wrestler, another past star like any other, is wrong. People do not "remember the wrestler" in the case of González; they remember the murderer.
If LOTR doesn't care, hopefully everyone else does.

With the NFL Combine under way, the three-headed monster of the Denver Broncos front office is hard at work. Head Coach John Fox, General Manager Brian Xanders and Vice President of Player Operations John Elway have been in Indianapolis since Thursday, continuing the process of evaluating players for the 2011 NFL Draft. One member of this tremendous trio is new to the process, but is no stranger to Broncos football.
Though John Elway is a familiar name in the NFL, he is a rookie of sorts when it comes to his new duties. Elway has been learning his new job on the fly since being named the Executive Vice President of Player Operations on January 5th of this year. It is no big surprise that he is picking up his new duties very quickly.
"He's very smart," Xanders said. "He listens. Like he says, he knows what he doesn't know and he asks very tough questions. I'll say this too, being a player in this league for 16 years, he knows what he wants that locker room to look like."
Despite the fact that he is leaning on others to make his transition into the front office as smooth as possible, Elway lends unique talents that most VP's are not able to boast. Playing quarterback for the Denver Broncos for 16 years and leading them to five Super Bowls, he knows a thing or two about what kind of players you want on your team.
"I look at a lot of guys probably a little bit different," Elway said from the combine. "I look at it as if I were playing against them. I know what I liked to play against, and I know what I didn't like."
Besides his time playing in the NFL, Elway had another part of his life that gives him a unique insight into the NFL drafting process, his father. It will be 10 years this April since Elway's father Jack passed away. Now John finds himself calling on the years of experience of his father to help him evaluate players for his first draft. Besides being John Elway's inspiration, Jack Elway was a longtime head coach as well as the Broncos' former scouting director.
Elway remembers sitting in with his father during many evaluation processes and he will look to apply what he learned for this upcoming draft.
"I'd ask him, 'What'd you see?' … The competitiveness, that's what I remember him saying … that's what you're searching for, players who believe football is important to them, who compete, who fight through tough times. Beyond talent, height, weight and speed, that's what it takes."
Armed with all of the tools it takes to successfully transition from a player to the front office, Elway finds himself transitioning from a legendary player to trying to find the next legend and there is no reason to believe that he will not succeed.

Piers Morgan, the New Jerry Springer
December 24, 2012 | Filed Under Anti-Americanism, Britain, CNN, Constitution, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Journalism, Liberals, Media, Media Bias, Progressives, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
After Wednesday night's CNN special, Guns in America, it has become clear that Piers Morgan is one thrown chair away from being the newest Jerry Springer.
After he indulged his latest shoutfest and bout of name calling, Morgan has shown that he is no more serious as a commentator and interviewer than the syndicated tabloid talker.
Jerry Springer made himself famous for screamfests, fist fights, and name calling on his daytime TV show but who cannot see that Piers Morgan is only a few steps removed from Springerism?
Take Guns in America as only the latest example. Morgan sold the show as a "townhall," a meaningful discussion about the "crisis" of guns. Instead of a meaningful discussion, however, Morgan screamed at guests, called them liars, cut them off from speaking, and generally acted the bore.
All it would have taken for a full Springer experience is for a chair to be thrown by a baby momma or two.
Sadly, this is what Piers Morgan has devolved to. And last night wasn't the first time Morgan indulged this sort of ignorant behavior. Only hours before his "special" he called a guest a "unbelievably stupid," and on Tweet after Tweet he's name called and acted the child.
Of course, Jerry Springer was himself the new kid on the block once. Springer took over for Morton Downy Junior, who became famous as "Mort the Mouth," and pioneered the sort of raucous, confrontational TV that Springer inherited.
Well, now Piers Morgan is vying to replace Springer as Springer replaced "Mort the Mouth."
Morgan's one thrown chair away from completing the transformation.

In the year 2000, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital opened their new J. Michael Carroll Cancer Center, and already they have received an award for outstanding achievement.
The American College of Surgeons acknowledged the center for it's excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients.
Fairbanks Memorial Hospital is one of only 79 U.S. health care facilities with accredited cancer programs to receive this prestigious honor.
The program was evaluated on 29 standards categorized within one of four cancer program activity areas.
Dr. Danny Robinette a General Surgeon for the center says receiving this award is a big deal.
It's the first time anyone has ever gotten one in Alaska, and it's something to be very very proud of.
It requires a lot of work on the part of the physician, the registrar and the entire team to put together a whole spectrum of support for our cancer patients, to see that they get the best treatment possible, either here or on referral to other centers when necessary."

Nov. 13--The recording artist known as Pink (her real name is Alecia Moore) hired a band to open her sold-out show at the Sprint Center on Tuesday night. That band was the Kin, a brotherly indie-pop band with New York-via-Australia roots.
The Kin is worthy of another look and listen, but in a different venue and under different circumstances. Opening for Pink these days is a thankless task. Not only does she fill two hours with a heavy dose of hits, she also puts on a high-octane show that is relentlessly excessive -- an explosion of dance, gymnastics, aerial feats, videos and other visual, treats that made everything that precede it seem tame and forgettable.
Backed by a five-piece band and three backup singers and accompanied by a small legion of buff and beautiful dancers/acrobats, Pink spent most of the show in constant motion, showing off her own dance, gymnastic and acrobatic skills, and not always with her feet planted on stage.
She employed a variety of apparatuses that took her airborne and swung her all over the arena.
During "Sober," she and her dancers climbed all over an orb-shaped cage -- inside and outside -- as it was hoisted high above the stage. And during her wild encore, via wires attached to a belt around her waist, she was vaulted into the stratosphere of the arena from where she nose-dived back toward the crowd beneath her.
The stage was assembled with an array of video screens that broadcast vibrant live images and videos, plus a few trap doors that were used to add tricks and gimmicks to the choreography and to give Pink a way to escape the stage for one of her nearly dozen wardrobe changes. There was fog and there were flashpots and lights -- an orgy of visual stimulants.
There was music, too: 18 songs, some of which weren't exactly family-oriented, such as "Walk of Shame," "U + Ur Hand" and "Slut Like You."
She censored herself during one, using the term "F-bomb" instead of the expletive, acknowledging the younger children in the crowd and explaining that, as a mother herself, she felt obligated to clean up her act. It was the only time all night she held anything back.
The crowd was on fire throughout the show, even during the acoustic and midtempo numbers, like "Great Escape," "Who Knew" and her cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game."
She ended on a high note, literally, swinging and flying like a super-heroine around the arena and over a sea of fans, many of whom tracking her on cell phone cameras as she sang "So What," one of her many signature jackhammer pop-anthems.
Eventually, she landed back on her feet, center stage, among the rest of her entourage, waving good night to a cheering crowd that needed to catch its breath as much as she did.

It's just a version of a fallback wall, although 10 is a bit higher than normal. His gold/hour is probably fairly high given that he probably has to craft glyphs every couple of months and every sale is for 75g. His gold per day may be erratic, but it doesn't take many sales at that price to make it worthwhile.

EVENT INFORMATION (click here to download): Schedule, field trips, regional summaries, pre/post Safari options, and terms and conditions. Design your own itinerary. Most outings are with a max. of 12 participants. Lectures, meals, & social gatherings may involve larger groups.
Big game, incredible birds, an amazing group of people all gathering for a great cause. Join the ABA, Rockjumper Worldwide Birding Adventures, and BirdLife South Africa for an utterly unique Safari experience. Safari profits will help support local conservation efforts through BirdLife South Africa
For any nature enthusiast Africa is special. The vast continent is home to most of earth's classic megafauna. From the time that we are children, many of the first animals we learn about are from sub-Saharan Africa. Indeed these are often some of the very first words we learn as a kid. From the classic "Big 5″ including the African Elephant, the lion, the rhinoceros, the leopard, and the Cape buffalo, to the world's tallest animal the giraffe, such icons loom forever in a naturalist's mind. That these animals exist is a fact we take for granted, but most of us have never seen them roaming free.
In a way, making a pilgrimage to Africa is like going home again. Here are these animals you don't ever remember not knowing about. You have marvelled at them in the zoo, and then like any nature enthusiast, you take a moment to envision them on their native turf. Lest we forget… of course there are birds in South Africa too. Lots of birds. Endemic birds. Amazing birds.
We hope that this opportunity to visit South Africa with the ABA, and hosts Rockjumper and BirdLife South Africa, is a chance to recapture the wonder you had as a child, and at a good price and in a feasible time-frame. Not only are there a wealth of birds and animals to see in South Africa, but Cape Town is a fantastic place for seabirds. In addition to the lions, elephants, Secretarybirds, and Bateleurs we'll seek, we'll search for penguins and albatrosses too. In the evenings you can wind down with your choice of fine South Africa wine. It's no coincidence that we chose October for this magnificent South Africa Safari, as this is far and away the best month for birding and wildlife viewing. In addition to the ABA staff, we will have top local birding experts along as guides and giving presentations. The ABA South Africa Safari will coincide with BirdLife South Africa's Save Our Seabirds Festival in Cape Town, and (weather permitting) there will be an opportunity to participate in a pelagic trip to search for Yellow-nosed Albatross, giant-petrels, White-chinned Petrels and other seabirds.
Join your fellow ABA members and our in-country hosts for what is sure to be an epic expedition to South Africa. Contact George Armistead (firstname.lastname@example.com; (800) 850-2473, ext. 260) to register your interest for this unique offering.
Support the ABA. Consider a gift to help us further goals common to all birders.

I enjoyed this, but did find it a tad bitter. I think I'd mix the greens up just a bit next time. Also, found the beets really hard to peel. Tips on that would have been helpful.
Beet and Arugula Salad with Kefalotyri

This was awesome, easy, looked wonderful. I used shredded parmesan because it's what I had on hand.
dgitlin612 Posted: 08/15/09
This is a fantastic way to serve beets. I didn't even try to find Kefalotyri cheese; used asiago instead, but otherwise followed the recipe. Served with the cast-iron burgers in the same issue. Will absolutely make again.
mja489 Posted: 05/07/10
We loved this salad. I used yellow beets (which are wonderful) and parmigiano reggiano. My beets were a smaller so I only cooked about 45 minutes. My portion size was double because this was my vegetable for the meal of grilled chicken with mint gremolata and roasted potatoes seasoned with oregano.
kaxelrod Posted: 09/06/09
Wonderful salad. I didn't find the cheese either and substituted a similar cheese. My kids loved this . They feel in love with beets.

Great....and I don't like beets!

NEW YORK -- Tyson Chandler had 15 points and tied a season high with 17 rebounds, and the New York Knicks rebounded from their first loss under Mike Woodson by routing the Detroit Pistons for the third time this season, 101-79 on Saturday night.
Amare Stoudemire scored 17 points for the Knicks, who are 6-1 since Mike D'Antoni resigned. They lost 96-79 on Friday night in Toronto, but had no trouble with the Pistons for the third time in three meetings this season.
Carmelo Anthony finally got his shot to fall in the third quarter and finished with 15 points, while Jeremy Lin had 13. The bench put it away early in the fourth, allowing some banged-up Knicks to get some extra rest. Lin sat down with a sore left knee but could have returned, while Stoudemire went out with a sore lower back and the Knicks said at the time his return was questionable.
Ben Gordon scored 20 points for Detroit, which lost its fifth straight.
The Knicks came in a half-game ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for eighth place in the Eastern Conference heading into a potential pivotal meeting Monday night at Madison Square Garden, exactly one month before the regular season ends. Milwaukee has won the first two matchups and could clinch the season-series tiebreaker.
The Pistons are playing without guards Rodney Stuckey (sore left big toe) and Will Bynum (virus) and lacked energy during a difficult portion of their schedule. They came home from a five-game Western trip to lose to Miami on Friday night, then went right back on the road to open a four-game trip Saturday. They shot 37 per cent.
New York beat Detroit by scores of 103-80 and 113-86 earlier this season, and needed less than a half to get a big lead that was never really challenged this time.
The Pistons tied it at 31 on two free throws by Jonas Jerebko with 5:28 left in the second quarter, then managed just six points the rest of the half. The Knicks ran off 13 in a row, with Lin's 3-pointer making it 44-31 with 2:33 remaining, and it was 49-37 at the break.
The only problem in the first half was the continued struggles of Anthony.
The All-Star forward shot 37 per cent in his previous five games and was just 1 of 7 in the first half, appearing frustrated by his struggles. Baron Davis appeared to be giving him some encouragement after one badly missed jumper, and Anthony screamed out loud after missing on a drive to the basket.
He got an easy bucket inside early in the third and that got him going. He made 4-of-5 shots in the period, finishing 5 of 12. Stoudemire hit all three shots for seven points in the quarter as the Knicks blew it open.
JR Smith finished with 14 points for the Knicks.
Notes: The Knicks said reserve forward Jared Jeffries is expected to miss two weeks because of inflammation in his right knee. Woodson said he needed to rest the knee and strengthen it. ... Woodson said the Knicks are considering sending seldom-used centre Jerome Jordan back to the NBA Development League to get in some games. ... The coaches could have been on opposite benches had things played out differently last off-season. Woodson was a candidate in Detroit, where he was an assistant under Larry Brown on the Pistons' 2004 NBA championship team, and also interviewed for openings in Houston and Minnesota. Had he not ended up back in Detroit, Lawrence Frank likely would have been the top choice to take the role as the Knicks' top defensive assistant to D'Antoni.

Justin Bieber recently released his new video for 'Beauty and a Beat' and well, Aaron Carter is not impressed.
Taking to Twitter Aaron revealed, "Justin Biebers new video reminds me of my video Aaron's Party" and continued, "I'm not impressed."
With Aaron no doubt getting tons of flack from the Beliebers he concluded, "Why do kids & our generation have to be so negative? It's like that's what feeds kids these days.. I never expected people to be that way."
"At least I know my generation isn't like that. I hope y'all Co-Sign wit me on this. My opinion is my opinion. As is all of yours about me."


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Conflict with Spider-ManFusion's son Francis Jeremy, Frankie to his family, died in an attempt to swing off a building just like his favourite superhero, Spider-Man. In anger and sadness, Fusion blamed the Wall Crawler. Fusion used his powers to attack him and the public at large. He eventually uses his powers to snap Spider-Man's neck (this was just a "suggestion" which fooled Peter). However, Spider-Man was eventually able to see through this ruse and defeat Fusion, who turned out to be such a bad father, he got his own son's name wrong. Conflict with ThorFusion has taken 50 people hostage during a "Billy Goodman: Choose your path to success" seminar. He straps bombs to all of them and created a series of fail safe switches to in sure the New York Police department can't interveen. He made one request, to speak with Thor the God of thunder. Once Thor shows up Fusion asks him one question, "Can you bring my son back?" Thor explains he can not. If the gods stepped in and did these things people would lose free will and be nothing mor then puppets for the gods. Fusion believes Thor is bluffin and demands the hostages to leave. He then dares Thor to try to save him and prove that the Gods can step in, but Thor is pauses too long and Fusion blows up the building with himself and the god of thunder inside. Thor is unharmed but Fusion seems to be insinerated, but Fusion has the power to make people believe his illusions so is he really dead or was this all an illusion. PowersThrough Fusion's suggestion power he can:* Suggest an event to happen, and it will. He can manipulate the thoughts of others into making them do what he wishes.* He can make himself look like any person (normally taking on a superhero's form). Though he does not grow to fit the size of the person he is imitating this power is just an extension of his suggestion abilities. When fighting Spider-Man, Fusion could appear to be in the form of the Hulk but he never really had any of the Hulk's strength.* Fusion also possesses a rod which he can make appear to be any object. The rod is coded to his voice; when fighting Spider-Man, he caused it to self destruct after Spider-Man stole it from him.

Sometimes Forearm Fractures in Children Are Not So Simple
Children often fall and break their arms. The forearm with its two bones (radius and ulna) is one of the most common childhood fractures. Most of the time these types of breaks are clean and simple. The physician can line the bones back up without surgery.
The child wears a splint or cast for four to six weeks while the bone remodels and heals. And quite honestly, if the child has not yet completed his or her full growth and has not yet reached skeletal maturity, the bone does a remarkable job healing and even restoring normal anatomy.
But there are those cases we call bad actors: problematic forearm fractures that require recognition and special treatment. In the simplest of cases, the bones are displaced (separated). There may be a hidden dislocation along with the fracture that doesn't show up on a plain X-ray.
Or there could be a fracture with bone rotation so the ends no longer line up as they should. Putting the arm in a cast without realigning the bones could result in permanent loss of wrist and forearm motion. Sometimes one or both of the bones break and leave the bone at an angle. This type of deformity won't realign on its own. To add to that list, there could be cases where the forearm fracture affects the alignment of the elbow.
To address these "bad actors," Dr. Dan A. Zlotolow, orthopedic surgeon from Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania offers some treatment guidelines. First, he reviews the potential mechanisms of injury stating that the surgeon must make every effort to identify the type of fracture and any other associated soft tissue or joint injury. It is especially important to look for damage to the ligaments, blood vessels, and/or nerves. Complete diagnosis may require additional imaging using computed tomography scans (CTs) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The child's age makes a big difference in planning treatment. Children up to age eight will have the capacity to heal, repair, and remodel angular deformities of the bones up to 15 degrees. X-rays will help determine the skeletal age of maturity and show how much more growth is left. If the child is within a year or two of full skeletal maturity, then he or she should be treated as an adult.
Closed reduction (realignment without surgery) is acceptable for many of the younger children. But open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) is often required when the "bad actor" shows up with any of the complications described. A flexible titanium rod may be placed down through the length of the fractured bone. Metal plates and/or stainless steel pins may be used until union occurs.
And here's an important tip from Dr. Zlotolow: the surgeon must make sure the child has full forearm rotation before considering the case closed. It's all too easy for a child with limited forearm movement to make up the loss by compensating with the wrist and shoulder. The loss of forearm rotation (palm up and palm down) may not be evident until years later when they start to participate in sports and can't move as needed.
Corrective surgery may be needed if the desired range-of-motion has not been achieved within the first year after fracture treatment. Even with surgery, there is a risk that with soft tissue scarring and shortening, full motion won't be possible with corrective surgery.
In summary, surgeons treating children with forearm fractures must be vigilant in watching for complications that can leave the child with permanent deformities or loss of motion. Careful evaluation at the time of the injury AND close observation during healing, recovery, and follow-up are essential to recognize fractures referred to as "bad actors." Elbow joint instability (due to ligamentous damage or dislocation), malunion, and excess bone angulation require special surgical management.
