This is part 2, hope you enjoy this one also, again any criticism welcome.
Janine and I had finished our meal and we were walking to our flight gate. We were boarding in 25 minutes. We took our seats at the gate check in area. Janine seemed a little distant but she had been questioned for 40 minutes, they must have been rough on her, still she did have a wide smile so I knew she was ok. The area got busier and busier, lots of families heading home and a few other couples who im sure were all newly weds.
Our flight was called and we headed on down to the plane, while boarding we were stopped by a very good-looking air steward. he was tall, perfect skin, chiselled jaw line, deep blue eyes, perfect smile, I assumed that given his job he was gay, my ignorance would be proved wrong later,
"Are you guys newly weds? Any honeymoon couple get a free upgrade to first class and free champagne for the flight"
Before Janine got a chance to speak, I blurted out,
"Yes we are, married three days ago,"
Janine then flashed a rather impressive ring I bought her; it passed for a wedding ring,
"Well" the Air steward said, "I hope you enjoy your flight, here are your complimentary first class passes"
We both smiled and headed off to the first class area, it was lovely, lots of space, privacy shields, and the seats reclined into beds too; this was going to be a comfortable flight.
The pilot made his announcements and we were soon on our way, I was not the best flier but Janine was a cool and relaxed as ive ever seen her, she was sipping on champagne and eating chocolates, she looked so happy and content. This holiday was going to do her the world of good, she deserved it.
We took off at 8.30pm the flight was going to be about 9.5 hours so we were going to need to get a few hours sleep in before we landed. the chocolate had made Janine a bit hyper, as I started to nod off Janine was still trying to keep herself amused, listening to the radio stations and reading her book with a small light attached to the top of the page.
The air steward was just making a routine check of the cabin when he saw that there was a small light a bit further up from where he was, as he approached he noticed Janine bathed in a small glow of light, she seemed to be the only one awake. He tapped her shoulder,
"Excuse Me," he quietly said
Janine, a little startled, removed her ear phones and looked up, catching his stunning blue eyes in her book light made her stomach flutter, she managed to open her mouth, "Yes?" she said, trying to be calm.
The air steward introduced himself, "My names Alex"
"Im Janine" she replied, with a huge smile,
Alex continued "Sorry to disturb you but I couldn't help but notice you were awake, I was wondering if I could get you anything"
"Well I am really bored sitting here" Janine said, "As you can see my boyfriend has fallen asleep too," she giggled.
Alex looked puzzled "Boyfriend? I though you guys were married"
Shit, Janine had let the cat out the bag, her mind raced thinking of what to say, she stood up and grabbed Alex by the hand and took him to the kitchen situated at the front and closed the curtain behind them.
She immediately whispered too him "look, ok, I fucked up, were not a married couple we just pretended so we could get a free upgrade",
Alex was taken back by her honesty, "Don't worry about it, you're not the first to do that" he grinned,
"So you won't tell the captain or anything" she smiled at him,
"I wont utter a word" he reassured
"Good, I didn't want to make more mistakes today" she laughed,
Alex looked inquisitively at her, "What do you mean?"
"Give me more of that champagne and ill tell you" she said.
She threw back glass after glass recounting in full detail to her new friend about her "interrogation", he barely said a word as Janine gave every sordid detail.
"Well Janine, that's one hell of a story" Alex stated,
"I don't think ill be forgetting for a long time either" she laughed,
Janine being really tipsy and her own panties being wet after her own story, she looked down at Alex's crotch and noticed he was as stiff as a board.
"Ha, I see those cocks did for you what they did for me", pointing at Alex's hard bulge,
"What, no, that's been all from you" Alex said,
"Shut up, there is no way a guy as hot as you is straight" Janine said in disbelief,
"Hey, not all of us are gay" he laughed.
Janine's eye light up and widened as she had wrongly assumed as her "husband" had that he, and all, Air Stewards were gay. Finding her body on auto pilot she step closer to him and grabbed hold of his cock through his trousers,
"Prove it" she purred as his after-shave filled her nostrils
With that he placed a kiss on her lips, she had never been kissed so passionately in her life, her entire body tingled as his hands gently caressed her back and waist, her own hands unbuttoning his shirt from top to bottom, pulling it open and feeling her hands run down his body. It was so hard and well toned, he had round pecks rock, hard abs. Janine stroked his body, she loved men who looked as good as they felt. She kissed her way down his body paying attention to his nipples and kissing every one of his gorgeous abs on the way down. She got him to sit on the counter behind him as she pulled off her top and bra, letting her huge tits spring free.
"You know its hot women like you that stop me going gay" Alex chuckled
Janine laughed with him and slowly brought her hands up to her tits and cupped them as if to display them to her confidant,
"Trust me" she said, "Its men like you that stop me being faithful"
With that, she quickly undid his trousers, grabbed both his trousers and boxers, and pulled them off in one quick movement. His cock sprang free not large by any means only 6.5 inches, she licked her lips in anticipation, although slightly disappointed,
"Well, he is beautiful and has a heart stopping body, shame he's not hung like an Adonis" she thought as she looked him up and down. She placed herself in front of him and poured the last of her glass of champagne over his cock, it made him jump and twitch. She then lent forward, took his rock hard cock between her tits, and gently teased the tip with her tongue.
Janine looked up at him and said, "Well Alex, im gonna give you something no man could give you"
Alex just moaned with approval as Janine slowly moved her tits up and down his cock, it being completely lost on the up stroke and just the tip being visible on the down stroke. Janine had a hold of her nipples and had made a vice like grip with her tits, his cock was going nowhere. Her pace quickened as she wanked his prick with her impressive tits, the heat and friction being produced was sending Alex over the edge, Janine could sense his impending climax and switched to sucking his solid member, she deep throated his entire cock and sucked with all she could, she kneaded his balls with her hands as he squirted his cum straight down her throat not even having to swallow as each spurt was fired. She sucked some more and released his cock. His breathing was erratic but had remained as stiff as a board. Janine looked him in the eye.
"Hmm you're cum tasted so good and your still hard, everything about you has impressed me so far" she said as she licked her lips savoring the taste of his cock.
"Well, im not done yet Janine, after all you've still to cum for me" Alex ordered,
With that he hoped off the counter and spun Janine round and roughly pulled down her jeans and underwear leaving them around her knees, he quickly got behind her and she lay her body flat on the counter, she reached back and held open her ass and pussy,
"Well what you waiting for 'gay boy' fuck my brains out" Janine growled,
She barely finished her sentence when he grabbed her arms and held them in place as he slid his cock into her, he bottomed out quickly but was just hitting her g-spot in the perfect place, she bit her lip, she didn't want to make too much noise after all the packed plane was silent and people were sleeping no more than 10 feet from where they were. His short controlled thrusts sent wave after wave of pleasure through her body, his strong arms holding her down, his hard body making contact with her's, her pussy was producing so much cum, when ever he slid-in some of her juice would splash out onto his balls making a hot little squelch sound that was only drowned out by their breathing, Alex's rhythmic pounding and constant g-spot stimulation brought Janine to climax very rapidly, she came time and time again, this well oiled machine of a man was relentless, he was just pounding away as if he was just using her for his own pleasure, she couldn't stop cumming for him and she so desperately wanted him to cum inside her too.
Janine just managed to cross her legs, from the knee down, while keeping herself balanced, making her pussy just that bit tighter, it was definitely having the desired effect as Alex started to grunt in appreciation. Janine's soft wet pussy became a tight little hole as Alex squeezed his cock into her pussy, his entire cock being milked by her. He couldn't take anymore and was cumming without warning deep into her, he held her tight against him, trying to bury himself in her as he emptied his entire load into her. Alex pulled out of her and Janine stood herself up and turned to face him.
Janine looked into his exhausted eyes, "Oh god Alex that was a great fuck, you have certainly made this flight interesting"
"You really know how to control a man with that pussy, ive never felt anything like it" Alex managed between breaths,
"Well let's just say ive had my fair share of cock, I know how to please, ha ha" Janine laughed as she pulled up her jeans and panties,
Alex pulled on his trousers, "lets just hope your on the red eye on your way home from your holiday, I could use some more of this action"
Janine leaned into him, looked him in the eye as she spoke, "I could use some of your cock again Alex, ill keep using this airline till we meet again"
They kissed again, as if they had been lovers for years, gentle but with passion, intense but slow, they ment what they said, they wanted each other so badly, with that Janine pulled on her bra and top and stroked his face before leaving to go to the bathroom to tidy herself up. As she exited the bathroom Alex came from behind her and gave her ass a gentle, playful squeeze, she looked around to see that everyone was still asleep and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek and made her way to her seat.
She settled in and put her book away, she was now ready to sleep, the adrenalin her lover had made her produce was subsiding and her body relaxed as she fell asleep........
A few hours past and Janine was shook awake by a little bit of turbulence, it was 4.30am and they would be landing soon.
I was sitting next to her all smiles, "Morning sleepy head, they weren't serving a full breakfast but I kept you some orange juice and some cereal and milk if you want it"
Still trying to wake up Janine just smiled and opened up her orange juice and let out a huge yawn,
"You still tired?, I thought you would have been refreshed after a few hours sleep" I stated,
"Well you had lots more than I did, I was up reading most of the night, and I couldn't get relaxed" Janine said blurry eyed,
"Still a bit stressed out with the interrogation were you" I said in a concerned manner,
No not really", Janine said, "The chocolate and champagne had me buzzing a little, if you had been awake Id have talked your ears off"
Before I could answer, she continued "I wasn't alone all night, the Air Steward came over for a chat seeing as I was the only person awake"
Sarcastically I retorted "so what did you guys talk about, cute boys? Hair care? Moisturisers?"
Janine laughed, "Well kinda, we never got to talk about his sexuality"
I laughed also, "Yeah well, it was a bit obvious to me"
We finished our breakfast and stared out of the windows as the sun blazed through the windows, the pilot announced his approach to the airport as the cabin crew made their final checks. We landed quickly and without a hitch and were soon given the all clear to take of our seat belts and grab our bags, as we exited the plane we were met with the crew thanking us for using the airline and to hope we returned, we also thanked them on our way past. Our gay friend, who Janine had told me was called Alex, was the last in the procession, as we approached him he gave Janine and me a wide grin.
"I hope you both enjoyed the flight and Janine thanks for the chat last night" Alex said,
"Don't mention it Alex, the pleasure was all mine and anyway I doubt I would have gotten any sleep at all if it wasn't for you" Janine replied,
"Well enjoy your holiday, see you again soon" He smiled,
I shook his hand and stepped off the plane as we went up our exit ramp I quietly said to Janine
"Yeah, definitely gay I think, his hand shake said it all" I whispered,
"Well, most men that good looking usually are" Janine giggled,
With that being said, we both enjoyed the sights and smells of a new country not to mention the heat as we entered the arrivals lounge in the airport, we collected our bags and met up with our holiday rep.
We were ready to start our holiday, who knows what will happen next........

An increasingly popular form of entertainment for people interested in learning more about wine and food is the walk-around tasting. Smaller than an industry trade show, but larger than a wine or food class, these now often feature dozens of restaurants and 200 to 300 different wines and spirits. You not only get to sample a wide range of tastes, but you also get to watch chefs prepare their signature dishes, and you can chat with winemakers and spirit producers. But how do you get the most out of this cornucopia, without becoming overwhelmed? Here are some tips to help you navigate the wine and food highway, planning your route in advance, so you know when and where to stop.
Review the tasting booklet beforehand (Look for it online, or, if not available, skim through it quickly once you arrive.)
Plot a course of action, going from light to heavy (see below).
Select those stations which are of special interest, note the table numbers and location, and outline your route in advance.
Sign up for the VIP Session or arrive early. (Many of these tastings offer a special VIP session. Although it's more expensive, this session is less crowded, and in addition to pouring special and rare vintages, there is plenty of food, there are no lines, and you get to talk to the people behind the table in a more relaxed fashion. )
If you're set on the regular session, then make sure to arrive early. At popular events, the line starts forming 15–30 minutes before it opens, since several people want to be the first in the door. Even though restaurants prepare adequate amounts of food, the most popular stations are heavily hit, and inevitably some run out.
At a wine/spirit table: Take advantage of the person behind the table—a representative of the producer, importer, distributor, or even the winemaker himself—and ask questions that might not appear either on the winery's Web site or in the printed giveaways. Find out how much the bottle costs, where you can buy it in your city, what food pairings they recommend.
At a restaurant table: Chat up the chef. See if the restaurant has any special wine events, and any special wine and food paired menus. Ask more personal questions as well: how the Chef became interested in cooking in the first place, where he or she trained, or what is his or her favorite dish and why.
Listen to word of mouth/Twitter recommendations.
Remember, the point of a walk-around tasting is to be adventurous and to get the widest possible range of experiences. On your first spin around the floor, don't limit yourself to what you already know; save the familiar dishes and beverages for later.
Put your new skills to to the test at Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town tasting events in five cities in 2010. April 8, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, GA; April 22: War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco, CA; May 6: The Field Museum, Chicago, IL; May 24: Lincoln Center, New York, NY; June 11: The National Building Museum, Washington, DC. toastofthetown. com.

Take to the streets to expose the 1%'s stealth attack on democracy and our rights! The Corporations and the super-rich already have a stranglehold on our political system through the legal bribery of campaign finance. But now they want to eliminate the last shred of democracy our system allows us – with TPP and Fast Track!
Negotiated in secret by the US, Japan, Vietnam and 12 other countries, TPP will subvert democracy by creating a system of international tribunals outside the jurisdiction of our court system where corporations can challenge current and future banking regulations (among other things making a Robin hood Tax illegal) and attack our environmental (including fracking bans), health, and food safety rules. They can also use these tribunals to undermine access to essential services and lifesaving medicines by claiming that our laws violate their "investor rights." TPP will lower food safety standards, replace family farms with factory farms and force countries to enforce genetically modified foods. Described as the "Son of SOPA", TPP will attack our internet freedom and privacy.
Knowing that the 99% would never stand for it, TPP has been negotiated with an unprecedented level of secrecy. Close to 600 official corporate advisers – including Wal-Mart, Halliburton, Chevron, Cargill, and the US Chamber of Commerce – have full access to the negotiating texts of the agreement, but the 99% locked out. These corporations have bought their way into our political system and are now shaping public policy.
Once the secret negotiations conclude, President Obama wants to ramrod TPP through Congress using a procedure called Fast Track -which allows him to negotiate and sign TPP before Congress votes on it – and allows the President to force Congress to vote on it within 90 days, with limited debate, and with no power to amend a single word of the already negotiated agreement. This procedure undermines Constitutional separation of powers, which puts Congress, not the President in charge of international agreements.
But President Obama knows that if the public is given time to read the agreement and then demands changes to its most egregious public interest provisions, he'll never get it through Congress!
President Obama can only send TPP to Congress under Fast Track if Congress VOTES to give him this authority – and a vote on Fast Track is expected to take place in the next few weeks!
The 99% throughout the TPP nations are rising up to resist this corporate power grab. In New Zealand, people are resisting TPP's attack on their GMO food ban. In Japan, people are fighting TPP's attack on local agriculture. In Peru and Malaysia, activists are mobilizing against TPP's attack on access to lifesaving medicines. In Canada, people are protesting TPP's attack on essential services.
The US 99% must rise up in solidarity!
NO to TPP! No to Fast Track!
NO to Corporate Money in Politics!

Well now that you've told us its not really hidden . Ill put off buying a fiio e11 and wait for your C421.
Well now that you've told us its not really hidden . Ill put off buying a fiio e11 and wait for your C421.
AHHH Can't wait!! I'm totally sold on this amp....
that uha-4 vs c421 match up is gonna be fun.
We'll see....
On their website, they showed a comparison with the touch, and its kinda short and fat but not to the extent like the UHA-4. However I was expecting more like the arrow, slim and long. But I guess we'll wait and see.
I was expecting sleek and slim too. My thirst for a super slim rig is killing me, I have the Arrow 3g (you all pretty much know how I feel about it) but I am looking for the perfect slim IEM and portable can/ 32ohm full can amp (the UHA-4 is still my favorite).
Hey, how do you find the arrow vs. uha 4. Whats t he main difference between them? Im also seeking for a slim amp for iems.
^someone else just asked me that, this is what I replied;
That's why I said "you all pretty much know how I feel about it" regarding the arrow.
I want to do another review of that caliber, but I don't think there are too many amp makers that would agree to a review of mine, Headstage got returns and cancelled orders because of that review, and I got an unpleasant email. But I still plan on using the Arrow with my recently purchased ER4pt's (I'm gonna use an "S" adapter) sleek sexiness like the arrow cannot be denied! I hope the 4g is better....

Friends, colleagues and family described David Kedra as the prototypical Pennsylvania State Police trooper — an alpha personality, hard-working, goal-oriented, physically strong, often quiet on the outside, but charismatically confident once you got to know him.
I remember as if it were yesterday.
On April 2, 2014, Northeast Philadelphia lost an icon. Trina Thomas Losinno fought a courageous battle with cancer. She fought with gentleness and strength, just as she fought for education and inclusion for children and adults with disabilities, in our community, for the past 44 years.
The Engineers' Club of Philadelphia presented Somerton resident Ruben David with its 2014 Outstanding Service to the Community Award on Feb. 14. The award recognizes an engineer who has over the course of his career provided professional and personal service above and beyond the call of duty to the Delaware Valley community. David was honored during Delaware Valley Engineers Week, which is part of a national engineering observance.

Re: God is More Likely than Luck
I love this topic, junebug. Thanks for giving us another chance to talk about it! You don't have to understand evolution to benefit from it every day. If you have ever had a flu shot or a blood transfusion or were tested for allergies, or have eaten corn, or had a vaccination, you have benefited from the theory of evolution. Police solve crimes using DNA--that is based on the theory of evolution.
The basics of evolution are not that hard. All life came from a common ancestor, and the closer species are to each other, the more characteristics they share. You see it all around you-- most kids look kind of like their parents, closely related species can have offspring (lions and tigers are both a type of cat, and can have offspring--ligers!) while species that are very far apart cannot (dogs and cats, or birds and snakes, can never have offspring).
Humans, gorillas and chimps are all primates who share a common lemur-like ancestor. The three are too distantly related to have offspring, but are close enough to have similar characteristics in appearance and social organization-- and even to share diseases.
All of that supports the theory of evolution. If distantly related species like cats and lizards could have offspring,
that would mean the theory was false
. If kids routinely looked nothing like their parents,
that would mean the theory was false.
Imagine how strange it would be if two dachshunds mated and produced a litter of poodles, black labs and collies. There would be no way to breed animals with any kind of certainty.
It is a mistake to think that an individual animal or plant or insect "decides" to evolve. It is not about individual choice. Otherwise humans would have "decided" to evolve wings so we could fly. It is about what makes it possible for an organism to survive long enough to reproduce and pass on its characteristics to its offspring.
And it is not always about being the meanest, fastest, biggest or smartest. Plants evolve to resist pesticides, repel insects, survive drought or cold. Some animals are not fast or strong, but they taste bad, or look like they might taste bad. Turtles are not fast, but they have evolved hard shells to protect themselves. Lots of weak animals are small so they can burrow and hide from predators. One bee can't survive very well alone, but in groups they do very well. Humans have no protective claws or fur, but have big brains to invent tools and make clothes. Whales are mammals evolved from land animals and now can live in water. We know this because, unlike fish, whales still have foot bones, give birth to live young and nurse them with milk.
The discovery of genes reinforced the theory of evolution by showing exactly how similarities pass from parent to offspring. Genetics is about as much proof as science needs that evolution is true. Anytime a person says that "x runs in my family", or looks for a certain breed of dog that is good with children, they are accepting that genetics is real, and they are also accepting the theory of evolution.
These are scientific facts and have nothing to do with "denying a creator". No creator has been detected by science--yet. If there is one, it is very good at hiding from people, even those desperately looking, for thousands of years.
Just the facts, no condescension, sarcasam or insults

Mrs Koya dies
Written By : Sun Fiji Newsroom. Amina Koya, the wife of the late and former National Federation Party leader, Siddiq Moidin Koya, died on Sunday night at her home in Lautoka.
Mrs Koya was a pillar of strength for her husband who was commonly known as S M Koya during his tenure as NFP and Fiji's second Opposition Leader.
During the Denning Award Arbitration hearing in 1969 to secure a fair deal for sugarcane growers, Mrs Koya was present alongside her husband and the then NFP leader, A D Patel.
Her interest, care and concern for the well-being of ordinary Fiji citizens and farmers were paramount at all times.
Mrs Koya supported her husband's efforts in building a peaceful, stable and progressive Fiji.
Although her role in national politics was minimal, she was forever supportive of Mr Koya's endeavour as NFP leader.
This included the negotiation for Fiji's Independence and the 1970 Constitution after the death of Mr Patel in October 1969.
The smooth transition of Fiji from a British Colony to an independent nation in October 1970 was possible because of Mr Koya's vision of national interest taking paramountcy over personal interests.
He recommended to the then Chief Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, that he (Ratu Mara) become Fiji's first Prime Minister and that he (S M Koya) become Opposition Leader of the new independent Fiji to herald Fiji into nationhood.
Mrs Koya is survived by her three children; daughter Shenaaz and sons, Faiyaz and Faizal.
Amina Koya has a permanent place in the NFP's historical struggles of dignity and justice of ordinary people.

Energy optimization at Coloplast reduces CO2 emissions by 230 tonnes per year
Coloplast develops and manufactures products for the urology area, the supply of ostomy, continence care and for wound and skin care. Coloplast operates around the world, employs more than 7,000 employees and is listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.
For many years Coloplast works closely with Munters in creating optimal climatic conditions in cleanroom production together men. With the steady progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption has helped to optimize energy efficiency in Coloplasts Danish Munters systems.
The performance of two MX-Munters dehumidification systems, both accurately controlled dry air for clean rooms in the production provide tion processes, has been thoroughly analyzed. Together with Helge Jensen, the specialist for energy at Coloplast, Munters has then created a plan for energy optimization. Both dehumidifiers are equipped with a pre-cooler, the air flow to a water content cools down from 5 g / kg. Ler with a bypass and a Nachküh- provide both air systems with 15 ° C / 15% RH (Water content 1.5 g / kg).
The energy optimization consists of:
• Installation of the Munters Energy Recovery Purge® - a system for energy recovery, waste heat from the hottest part of the rotor collects and uses to support regeneration. This reduces the energy required and the exit temperature of the product process air and leads to lower energy costs for post cooling.
• Frequency of the supply fans were the main air-wet mounted and control units depending on channel pressure / Dehumidification. Since some manufacturing facilities do not work continuously, the need for drying air is different. By installing louvers and frequency converters to the dehumidification units can be automatically adapted to the actual required amount of dry air.
There are many ways we can help you optimise your existing equiment. For further information on Munters' Service and energy optimisation options, please visit

This unique, iconic and playful new bridge near the Millennium Centre in Cardiff is the fruit of a long collaboration between engineer Ian Firth and architect Cezary Bednarski and an example of how unusual forms can evolve from technical necessity. Already noteworthy for its vibrant colour and striking form, the bridge is a purposeful application of structural logic to achieve a beautifully crafted and finely executed bridge. The unusual arrangement is not just wanton sculptural playfulness but satisfies the fundamental requirement of the brief - to avoid applying heavy loads on the historic lock walls.
Other solutions would have bridging right over the lock with long ramp approaches, completely destroying the lock-side experience. This design cleverly places the main supports well back from the sensitive lock walls and suspends the deck in the gap between, thus creating a "piazza" hovering over the water, level with the surrounding surfaces for optimum accessibility, and a clear space with headroom at each end for lock-side walks by pedestrians. This unique structural arrangement is an appropriate contextual response to the site.
Affectionately known as the "origami bridge" owing to the deliberate resemblance to folded paper, it was conceived in steel to suit the aesthetic intent and achieve light weight and rapid construction. The triangular edge beams are supported from the centre by large tapering triangular box section arms which extend to the props placed well back from the lock walls. An important feature of these dramatic elements is the crispness of the visible steel edges. Working closely with the fabricators, the engineers developed the innovative use of machined solid steel bars instead of welding the plates directly together to achieve this effect. The high quality of finish achieved, with all external butt welds ground smooth, is a testament to the fabricator's skills and craftsmanship.

The RODS Open Source Project Open Source Outbreak and Disease Surveillance Software
The Project
Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance (RODS) is open-source public health surveillance software. RODS collects and analyzes disease surveillance data in real time and has been in development since 1999 by the RODS Laboratory. In 2002, the Utah Department of Health used the software for monitoring during the Winter Olympics Games. At present, health departments and other groups in the United States, Canada and Taiwan use the software.
The open-source phase of the project began in August, 2003, when the University of Pittsburgh released the source code under the GNU GPL. (The software is currently licensed under the Affero GPL -- so we could close the services provider loophole. Groups that utilize version 4.2.5 or later of RODS must release their improvements to the open source project according to this license.) At the same time, the RODS Laboratory created this web site to distribute the source code and to encourage developers, consultants, academics, and companies to participate in the creation of the most innovative outbreak and disease surveillance software in existence.

I have always wasted Sundays. Generally my list of Sunday activities tops out at sitting around like a lump watching TV and idly clicking links. And since I am not a morning person, waking up early all week (including Saturdays) tends to make me sleep in Sunday in an (apparently futile) attempt to catch up my massive sleep debt in one fell swoop.
But since starting a real job after grad school, I have learned to value my Sunday time. In fact, I am starting to call it Start-up Sunday because I use it as my main working day to develop Stamp and tinker on Hydra. It's the perfect time to catch-up on everything from the prior week and plan what's ahead for a few reasons:

I walked Willow down to the pond yesterday morning. I left the house around 8:30 hoping to beat the heat and humidity. Willow, a frisky, intelligent German Short-Haired Pointer, knew better�it was already hot and humid�and balked when I tried to leash her. A Paul Newman peanut butter treat persuaded her, more or less. My daughter had mentioned that she needed exercise�two days languishing in the house because of the weather�and all of us too busy working to take her for a long walk or a swim in the river. So off we went.
We don�t always walk to the pond�about two miles away and up and down some challenging hills�but I was curious to see if the movie shoot was underway and whether or not Winn�s garden was completely destroyed or only partially destroyed. She and her partner, Chuck, have owned their farmhouse for more than two decades, and they are weekenders, city people. So they can stay home or travel during the two months or so of disruption. And they are being paid a facility fee. I had asked Winn if she thought it would be worth it and she had said, �yes,� but I didn�t mention what I knew about film crews descending, literally. My husband and I had agreed to a James Bond shoot in our flat in London years ago, so I knew. A crew is meticulous, caring, concerned, attentive. But they do not want you around to see the havoc they wreak and then, when they are done, how they try to fix it as best they can. Winn said, �It will become part of the history of the house.� Well, that�s something, I thought. At least memory and history are sustainable.
I carried water and promised Willow we�d stop at the stream where she could dip her mattress-ticked ankles into the water. I would pour water over my head, as needed.
As soon as we rounded the bend leading to the meadow I saw cars, trucks, and movement. The barn door opposite Chuck and Winn�s farmhouse was open. This had become the prop room. There were about five crew prepping for the day, a movie called �Peace, Love and Misunderstanding,� with Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener. The stars had not yet arrived. I said good morning to the crew�who barely noticed my presence�and turned back up the road. I noticed that Winn�s furniture was on the porch, that her native garden had been replaced with another, more flowery, garden, and that the newly painted frontage was already scratched and chipped.
On the hot trek home I got to thinking about the presence of this movie crew in what has become a much more sustainable neighborhood. Several young couples, including my daughter and son-in-law, have become environmental activists. They don�t grow anything that can�t be eaten, they share vegetables from their gardens, and they replenish the soil with compost. They are devoted to understanding the degradation of the earth by the industrial food chain, and to repairing it. I contribute in small ways when I am here. On walks, I clean up beer cans and other debris. I�ve learned how to compost and to eat modestly. I�ve learned how to let the chickens out of their coop though I usually let my husband do that. �Buy Local,� is one of the mottos on signage in the area so I buy local. The screenwriter is a local boy, as is the scout, so that seems like a good thing. Chuck and Winn are being paid and that�s good, too. But what else is the film company doing to �give back� to this neighborhood? To sustain it? Even before the recession, there was a lot of poverty in upstate New York, families in trailers, unemployed, or enlisted in the army. There are more yellow ribbons on the houses and trees around here than I have seen anywhere else recently.
Two mornings ago, a scout working for the local scout came by the house and offered $500 to place two dumpsters at the end of the driveway.�We have too many vehicles so we have no space down at the farmhouse,� he explained. The request--softened by the offer of money�felt audacious, intrusive, and unsustainable. When the crew has come and gone, and the movie stars have been escorted home in their vans and limos, what will be left behind?

FXX is getting animated as it gets closer to launch.
FX Networks' newest channel, which is scheduled to premiere Sept. 2 in more than 72 million homes, on Thursday picked up the animated comedy Chozen as its first original series.
Chozen is scheduled to premiere early next year.
Chozen focuses on a gay white rapper (Saturday Night Live's Bobby Moynihan) who leaves prison with "a new message and new skills, which he will use in his quest for redemption and domination," the network said in announcing the series.
The new comedy has an impressive pedigree, featuring executive producers from FX's Archer and HBO's Eastbound & Down, including Danny McBride. Voice actors include McBride, Saturday Night Live's Bobby Moynihan, Parks and Recreation's Nick Swardson and Method Man.
"This is the perfect first series order for FXX," says Nick Grad, named today as president of original programming for FX Networks and FX Productions. "Chozen is an outrageous comedy, but it's also a very smart examination of the rap culture."
FXX will become the third in a "suite" of FX networks. It will join FX and FXM, previously known as the Fox Movie Channel.
FXX, which is aimed at viewers ages 18 to 34, will be the new home for the current FX comedies It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,The League and Legit. Late night's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell will also move over from FX,expanding to five nights a week in the process.
Sunny, League and Biased will premiere at launch, while Legit and Chozen will arrive early next year.
FX, which targets viewers 18 to 49, will retain the comedies Louie, Archer and Wilfred, but will maintain a dramatic focus with such series as Justified, American Horror Story, The Americans and Sons of Anarchy. FXM will be tailored to a slightly older audience of 25- to 54-year-olds and will concentrate on movies and original miniseries.
One FX series that won't be going forward is BrandX with Russell Brand, said John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions. Landgraf said the network is working with Brand on a new live-action comedy "loosely based on his life," along the lines of Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
In other FX Networks moves, longtime executives Grad, Eric Schrier and Chuck Saftler received promotions. Schrier will hold the same title as Grad and the two will oversee original programming for the three networks and head business and entertainment operations for FX Productions. Saftler has been named president of program strategy and chief operating officer of FX Networks.

Sunday marks Crystal Bowersox's homecoming as the American Idol Live! tour comes to Huntington Center in downtown Toledo.
To get caught up with Bowersox, check out Sunday's Arts section in The Blade, as the 25-year-old Elliston, Ohio native talks about life on the road, coming home to Toledo, and what's next for her career.
But the American Idol runner-up is only one-tenth of the entertainment package the tour provides. Here's a rundown of the other performers on the bill, all of whom are familiar to anyone who watched this year's Idol season:
9. Didi Benami is seriously cute and her vulnerable delivery of Kara DioGuardi's "Terrified" is much better than Katharine McPhee's overly polished version.
8. Andrew Garcia redeems his early exit from the show with his well-regarded take on Paula Abdul's "Straight Up," though it was better as a stand-alone acoustic piece instead of a full-band production.
7. Katie Stevens ditches the country-vibe Simon Cowell thought was best for her and embraces her inner-Disney-pop. It works, if you like Disney pop.
6. See Tim Urban live and decide for yourself if 20,000 texting tweens can't be wrong. Or can they?
5. Just wait till Siobhan Magnus wails on the Stones' "Paint it Black" in person. Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" would have been even better.
4. Maybe it's puberty, but teen Aaron Kelly has come a long way since American Idol. His voice is more mature and steady, and his confidence comes through as a country singer.
3. Michael Lynche is a good guy, with a wife and young daughter we've come to know through his Idol journey. Maybe buy one of his T-shirts and help him out.
2. Casey James shows off his guitar chops and blond locks. The tweens and teens go crazy. See No. 6.
1. American Idol champ Lee DeWyze is much better in person than on TV. With the contest over, he's relaxed onstage and no longer the shy performer who's just happy to be here.
American Idol Live! takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Huntington Center, 500 Jefferson Ave., in downtown Toledo. Tickets — $40.50, $50.50, and $70.50 — were still available at press time, and can be purchased at all TicketMaster locations, the Huntington Center Box Office, www.ticketmaster.com, and TicketMaster charge by phone at 800-745-3000.

Post, Guardian win Pulitzers for NSA revelations |
AP Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 3:34 pm TWN |
NEW YORK -- The Washington Post and The Guardian won the Pulitzer Prize in public service Monday for revealing the U.S. government's sweeping surveillance programs in a blockbuster series of stories based on secret documents supplied by NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
The Pulitzer for breaking news was awarded to The Boston Globe for its ``exhaustive and empathetic'' coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and the manhunt that followed. Two of the nation's biggest and most distinguished newspapers, The Post and The New York Times, won two Pulitzers each, while the other awards were scattered among a variety of publications large and small. The stories about the National Security Agency's spy programs revealed that the government has systematically collected information about millions of Americans' phone calls and emails in its effort to head off terrorist attacks. The resulting furor led President Barack Obama to impose limits on the surveillance. The reporting ``helped stimulate the very important discussion about the balance between privacy and security, and that discussion is still going on,'' said Sig Gissler, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes. The NSA stories were written by Barton Gellman at The Washington Post and Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, whose work was published by The Guardian US, the British newspaper's American operation, based in New York. ``I think this is amazing news,'' Poitras said. ``It's a testament to Snowden's courage, a vindication of his courage and his desire to let the public know what the government is doing.'' Snowden, a former contract employee at the NSA, has been charged with espionage and other offenses in the U.S. and could get 30 years in prison if convicted. He has received asylum in Russia. In a statement issued by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, Snowden saluted ``the brave reporters and their colleagues who kept working in the face of extraordinary intimidation, including the forced destruction of journalistic materials, the inappropriate use of terrorism laws, and so many other means of pressure to get them to stop.'' Snowden's supporters have likened his disclosures to the release of the Pentagon Papers, the secret Vietnam War history whose publication by The New York Times in 1971 won the newspaper a Pulitzer. His critics have branded him a criminal. ``To be rewarding illegal conduct, to be enabling a traitor like Snowden, to me is not something that should be rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize,'' said Rep. Peter King, R-New York. ``Snowden has violated his oath. He has put American lives at risk.'' At The Boston Globe, the newsroom was closed off to outsiders, and staff members marked the announcement of the breaking-news award _ coming just a day before the anniversary of the bombing _ with a moment of silence for the victims. ``There's nobody in this room who wanted to cover this story. Each and every one of us hopes that nothing like it ever happens again on our watch,'' Globe Editor Brian McGrory told the newsroom.

Some sad news for Scott Disick, star of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and partner of Kourtney Kardashian. RadarOnline reports that his father, Jeffrey Disick, passed away last week. The cause of death is not known at this time.
Jeffrey's passing comes a little over two months after Disick's mom Bonnie died at the age of 63. Scott was their only child, growing up in Long Island, New York.
Scott has so far remained quiet about his father's passing on social media, but a source tells E! News that Jeffrey was in Los Angeles at the time of his death.
"The whole family is so devastated and Scott is beside himself. Scott is an only child with no remaining family," says the source.
Over the years, his father had made just a few appearances on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- As folks hunched over and shuffled through the cold Tuesday night in Uptown, most realized, the worst was yet to come: A -25 degree wind chill was just around the corner, forecasted for Wednesday morning.
We wanted to know how much cold can we take? We took the question to North Memorial's Emergency Department, where doctors say more and more frostbite cases were coming in. We used -15 degree wind chill as our baseline.
"Generally speaking, anywhere from 10-30 minutes is a sufficient amount of time to cause some potential damage," Dr. Benjamin Knutson explained.
Your pets? We took the question to Dr. Mark Prochaska with the Kenwood Clinic. He's talking to pet owners about the cold.
"So if you're cold, he's cold," the Doctor warned, noting some coats on dogs are comparable to the coats we wear in the winter. He says five minute is not a bad rule of thumb when the windchill hits double digits below zero.
"This year's unusual because it's gotten so cold so quickly, the animals haven't had time to adjust their footpads. They're not as tough as they might be, so, they're much more susceptible to frostbite," Dr. Prochaska warned.
On a psychological or emotional level, we also wondered; how much cold can we take? We took our question to Travel Leaders in Maple Grove, where wary Minnesotans were lighting up the phones.
"This year it's gotten so cold so early, I think people are really ready and they're purchasing their vacations early," Nora Blum, CTC, said. Blum says these cold calls usually come in, in Mid-January, when we get a couple of days in a row with single digit temps.

Elizabeth Edwards has posted a goodbye message. The doctors have said there is nothing more they can do for her, and she has perhaps only weeks to live
I have admired the way she has handled her illness and the troubles within and outside of her marriage. I hope that she is able to find peace in her final days and that her children will remember her strength and love.
It maybe that she thinks he would support the kids, regardless of what happened between them in their marriage. The kids will need him to lean on in the next weeks/years. If she would/could show him some measure of forgiveness, it would do a great deal for the kids, I would think.
How sad. She's been so brave for so long, let's hope she finds nothing but love and peace in her final weeks.
Words can't describe how sad this is. I'm fortunate to know no one who has been attacked by cancer, so I can't get my mind around how tragic it is and how much pain and suffering it brings to the victim and their family. I wouldn't wish it on my biggest enemy. I wish her minimal suffering.
She'd been doing so well and looking well for so long now I thought maybe she might have been in remission. Very sad news for Elizabeth and her family. I hope her passing is as painless as possible. I admire her for putting her feelings for her husband aside for the sake of their children as they will need to lean on him in the coming weeks and afterward.
Oh dear. Peace be with her. It's an awful disease but she fought it hard...probably to have as much time with her kids as possible. Best wishes to her and hers.
It's also just as possible that with the end looming so close, you find it easier to forgive those who have wronged you. Life is already too short to hold anger for the rest of us, let alone for someone in Elizabeth's place. I'm glad to hear that the entire family is together. They're going to need each other.
From the article, it said their divorce was to be finalized next month. I don't know if forgiveness is really so important at this point. Tending to final arrangements may be the more immediate concern.
It's sad, but she knew this day was coming eventually. I guess at least she had plenty of time to prepare herself and do what she wanted to do. I only wish her husband hadn't been such a slimey douche piece of garbage. I hope she finds peace, warmth and comfort in her remaining time with her family and friends.
I only wish people would think before posting. This is not the best thread to be discussing John Edwards and his failings.
Metastatic breast cancer is a cruel, cruel disease. In the spring of 2009 we visited some of our friends who were attending a MBC conference, at which Elizabeth Edwards was the keynote speaker. I didn't see her speech, but the girls we were visiting were very impressed with Elizabeth Edwards. All three of them have since passed away. The oldest of these girls was 40. And now Elizabeth is dying. We need a cure so very badly.
Elizabeth Edwards' message brought tears to my eyes. May she find everlasting peace. She certainly deserves it.
Cancer cannot be cured, at least not in the foreseeable future, but the treatments we have can be made better.
My aunt just passed away after a four-year struggle with cancer. I just came back from her funeral. This article makes me so sad to read. Peace be with Elizabeth and her beautiful children.
I heard this last evening. So sad for the young ones only, what, 10 and 12? Happy that her family (including John) is with her. Peace.
It went along with me feeling bad for her during this. All she was going through and what he did. And I thought about it quite a bit before I posted it actually. I hope she is able to have a peaceful Christmas.
http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5573188/ She passed away. That was quick. They must have waited until the last moment to notify the media, so she had peace and wasn't harassed for interviews, etc.

NORTH ADAMS � As the school year approaches, the North Adams-Jerome School system is still working to fill several vacancies.
Carl Christenson, superintendent, said he is hoping to have the vacancies filled before school starts Sept. 3.
The school system and school board were hit with�four resignations at last week's school board meeting. Those resignations included Marie Moore, special education; Elizabeth Erikson, high school math; Amanda Teel, Spanish and English and another English teacher who was recalled and then resigned.
During the meeting the board also approved a new riding policy for bus drivers wanting to take passengers with them.
Christenson said bus drivers will be able to take passengers with them to games and other events�with permission. Passengers are not permitted to ride during regular routes.
The only other action item on the agenda was the approval of the bread contract for 2013-14 to Aunt Millie's Bread Bakery.

4 out 5, not gonna happen. That's a wrap.
4x since 2009, a team has come back from 2-0 down to win an NHL playoff series - including the Penguins in the finals against Detroit in 2009.
Its not gonna be easy, but this series is not over.
but, only 2 teams in history have come back to win a Final after
coughing up the 1st 2 games at home.

Let's Go Devils
I think it would be easier to beleive in the Devils if the Kings hadn't been so dominant throughout the playoffs.
They are 14-2 in the postseason -- kind of hard to imagine a team that has been that good losing 4 out of 5. That said, Devils are capable, I just think the Kings are too much... I don't think anyone was beating them this postseason.
I'd agree if they were outplaying the Devils... But that simply isn't the case. It's about even, which is why it's taken OT to decide both games...
To be fair to the Devils, they could have easily won both games, had they decided to put the puck in the open net instead of finding new and hilarious ways of missing...
Parise, and Kovy better start scoring goals.

Spring Vegetable Rice Salad (Insalata di Riso)
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 pound medium asparagus
- 1 cup shelled English peas, from about 1 pound fresh peas
- 2 pounds fresh fava beans
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup small diced boiled ham
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add rice, stir, and adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent any grains from sticking to the pot, until the rice is just barely done, about 15 minutes. It will continue to cook as it cools. Drain the rice well and spread it out on a tray to cool quickly.
Bring another large pot of salted water to a boil. Holding an asparagus spear in both hands, bend the spear until it breaks naturally at the point where it becomes tough. Repeat with the remaining spears. Discard the tough ends and cut the tender part into 1/3-inch lengths. Blanch asparagus and peas together in the boiling water for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then lift out with a strainer and transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet to cool.
Shell the fava beans, then blanch the unpeeled beans in the same boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain, transfer them to a paper towel lined baking sheet to cool. Peel the fava beans by pinching open the loose skin; the peeled bean should slip out easily.
Put the lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice, asparagus, peas, fava beans, basil, parsley, lemon zest, ham and cheese. Toss with your hands to blend. Pour the dressing over the salad (you may not need it all) and toss gently. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Note: You can blanch everything ahead, but don't dress until just before serving.

Dutchman Dokter, the Football Association of Ireland's high performance director, and former international Ray Houghton, have been charged with the task of finding the man to replace the 74-year-old Italian, who parted company with Ireland last month after five-and-a-half years in charge.
Under-21s boss Noel King will lead the Republic into their remaining World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Kazakhstan, and he will do so with the hunt for a new manager ongoing.
Dokter was reluctant to discuss the matter as he spoke to the media in Malahide on Wednesday morning, where he has been assisting King this week, but when asked about the process, he said: "We are doing it together.
"There has been a lot of interest and yes, we have talked to some people, and that's actually all I want to say about it because it's an ongoing process."
Asked if that process could take some time, Dokter replied: "Yes."
Martin O'Neill was swiftly installed as the bookmakers' favourite even before Trapattoni's demise, while former manager Mick McCarthy and his captain Roy Keane have also been tipped to take over.
Gerard Houllier's odds also tumbled this week as the search continued, but there is no immediate urgency, with Ireland's hopes of making it to Brazil next summer over and the new qualifying campaign not due to start until September next year.
Asked what qualities he and Houghton were looking for in Trapattoni's replacement, Dokter said: "A good manager for the senior team. That's all I want to say about it."
Dokter, King and their players were due to fly to Cologne for Friday night's clash with the Germans on Wednesday afternoon, but they did so with a question mark hanging over skipper Robbie Keane.
The 33-year-old striker sat out of training after taking a kick to the ankle, although goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly later insisted he is not a major doubt for the game at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Kelly said: "Hopefully, we will see how it goes. We have got to fly out there now and it is being monitored and we will make that assessment come Thursday and Friday.
"That's the precaution that we would take normally with anybody who has got something."

Dr. Dezfulian is an adult and pediatric critical care physician acutely aware of the paucity of post-resuscitation therapies for the cardiac arrest survivors he cares for. This career development award supplements his research background with senior mentorship and lab-based and didactic training in neurosciences and redox signaling. The research plan is based on preliminary observations which support the hypothesis that nitrite-mediated neuroprotection after cardiac arrest occurs through nitric oxide (NO) and S-nitrosothiol (S-NO)-based signaling that prevents subsequent neuronal death by targeting delta protein kinase C and mitochondria. This hypothesis will be tested along three aims: (1) to define the optimal nitrite dose and timing and quantify the relative contributions of NO- and S-NO based signaling in neuroprotection, (2) to test whether nitrite-mediated neuroprotection results from nitrosylation and inactivation of delta protein kinase C (-PKC), and (3) to test whether nitrite-mediated NO and S-NO production affects mitochondrial function and prevents apoptosis. Dr. Dezfulian will undertake a career development plan consisting of: 1. Experimental research, laboratory instruction, journal clubs and scientific review and development by his mentors and colleagues. 2. Coursework through the University of Miami graduate program. 3. Intramural seminars and national conferences and symposia. 4. Training in the responsible conduct of research. 5. Guidance by a scientific advisory committee consisting of two senior MDs and two PhDs. 6. Grant writing, grant review and development of a transition plan aimed at independence. Dr. Dezfulian's neuroscience mentorship will primarily come from Dr. Miguel Perez-Pinzon, CVDRC director. Dr. Perez-Pinzon is an accomplished NIH-funded neuroscientist who studies mechanisms of neuroprotection and mitochondrial dysfunction after brain ischemia. Dr. Dezfulian will be co-mentored by Dr. Joshua Hare, Director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute (ISCI). Dr. Hare is NIH-funded to investigate oxidative stress in heart failure, has a long track record of research in nitroso-redox signaling, and will provide guidance regarding key mechanistic pathways believed to underlie nitrite mediated neuroprotection. This mentorship team will guide Dr. Dezfulian's career development as he executes the research aims of this application and transitions to independence as a clinician scientist.
This career development awards provides Dr. Cameron Dezfulian, an intensive care unit physician, with salary and research support to pursue a career development plan aimed at making him an independent clinician scientist studying ways to reduce brain injury after cardiac arrest. Dr. Dezfulian will be mentored by two senior scientists at the University of Miami and conduct research aimed at discovering new ways to signal protection in brain after cardiac arrest to prevent the brain injury that normally results.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
In 2009 and 2011 casting calls for the film, now known as "Innocence of Muslims" but back then called "Desert Warrior," the director on the project was listed as Alan Roberts. An IMDB page for an Alan Roberts credits him with directing films including 1972's "The Sexpert," 1980's "The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood" and 1991's "Karate Cop."
David A. Prior, who worked with Roberts on low profile films in 2007 and 2008, told Gawker that Roberts had spoken to him about "Desert Warrior."
"I am sure it was the same Alan Roberts, as I remember him speaking about this project," Prior said in an email.
On Wednesday, CNN obtained a statement that purported to be from the entire cast and crew of "Innocence of Muslims," stating that, "[w]e are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose."

With state-provided grant funding for high-speed Internet access set to run out next year, a local group wants governments to stick together and wait.
The Yampa Valley Economic Development Council is en----couraging governments in Northwest Colorado to wait a few months before making a decision about their Internet access.
The Beanpole grant, which brought high-speed Internet access to Northwest Colorado in 2000 and has paid for the service since then, will expire June 30, 2006.
Beanpole funds Internet access for a variety of entities in Northwest Colorado, including the city of Craig, Moffat County, the city of Steamboat Springs and Routt County.
The various entities receive a group rate on Internet access from Northwest Colorado Telecom.
Winnie Delliquadri, YVEDC Beanpole project coordinator, said local governments shouldn't rush to a decision about their Internet access.
"We recommend we stay together as a group and wait a while," Delliquadri said.
In the past, governments throughout the state have grouped themselves with colleges and schools to get Internet access cheaper.
Delliquadri said there is a chance some of those groups could disband in the next few months, meaning more possible partners for Northwest Colorado governments.
"The bigger you are, the better purchasing power you have," Delliquadri said.
Governments should wait to contract for services until they know who they can partner with, she said. But groups currently relying on Beanpole should budget knowing they will have to pay for Internet access soon, but shouldn't set anything in stone, she said.
"It wouldn't be prudent for us ... to contract for services starting next July (now)," Delliquadri said. "A year is a long time, and a lot can happen."
With technology always changing rapidly, Delliquadri said waiting could mean better prices.
"We hope that by waiting, we can get pricing that's even better," she said.
Craig City Councilor Tom Gilchrist, who also sits on the YVEDC, agreed.
"We want to see if we can do better," Gilchrist said. "It will be a better use of taxpayer dollars."
The groups relying on Beanpole probably will stay with NC Telecom after the grant runs out because some of the partners, including Moffat County and Rio Blanco County, already have prepaid for services with the company.

China's advance to a market economy is among the greatest economic success stories of modern times. China has made enormous progress in developing the modern legal and regulatory foundation for the market economy. The private sector is now the main driver of growth, and new laws have gone a long way toward establishing private property rights, competition, and mechanisms for entry and exit comparable to those of many OECD countries. At the same time important challenges remain, including further clarification of the scope of state ownership, reform of relations among central and local governments, firmer establishment of the rule of law, and strengthening of regulatory institutions and processes.
The review contains a comprehensive set of policy recommendations, which should support China in its efforts to implement regulatory reforms in order to boost economic growth, job creation, innovation and investment.
