The US can't do that in the US either. Just an FYI.
" Frankly, EU and European countries take privacy a lot more seriously,"
Care to back that up? I mean when you can take time away from being on public video, told what you can and can not say, carrying papers,
IT would be more correct to say it treats privacy different;which makes sense because what it considered ''privacy' is different. For example, what you do in public can be considered 'private' in some countries.
Of course it's such a patch work in the EU, it's almost nonsense to say to use the EU as a generally statement concerning privacy.

there is no war on drugs
there is a "war on alcohol" (pointless) or a "war on lsd" (pointless) or a "war on meth" (NOT pointless)
you need to evaluate each drug individually, because for some drugs, that are highly addictive and inebriating, pushing back against the availability of the drug has a real effect in terms of saving lots of lives
there are two classes of drug users, for any drug: the committed idiot, and the casual idiot
the committed idiot, just as you say, represents a permanent underclass of drug addled zombie. no law will stop their self-destruction. whether every drug is completely free, or completely draconianly locked down, they will still destory their lives, no matter what you do. that's just their psychological fate. and so they don't matter in the policy analysis
but the CASUAl idiot, the average teenager who thinks they are immune and immortal, that there are no limitations on their will power: in a free and unfettered environment, these are lives you are burdening with decades of quality of life destroying, freedom destroying addiction (when it comes to only the worst drugs: cocaine, heroine, meth). but given enough time, and difficulty in accessing the worst substances, the casual teenage idiot will mature and realize on their own the threat coke/ meth/ heroin has on their quality of life and freedom
that is what the war on drugs is for. not the permanent unalterable underclass of drug zombies, but the much larger user base of casual idiots who, with CERTAIN substances (meth/ heorin/ coke) will be turned into drug zombies
you have to evaluate the substances individually. alcohol, marijuana: the war on drugs is stupid
heroin, coke: the war on drugs makes a genuine net positive. yes, the war on drugs has plenty of negative effects. for alcohol/ marijuana, those negative effects argue for legalization. but for some substances, life destruction is so viral through easy addiction, that the war, even with all the negativ effects considered, still has a net positive effect

that if you legalized everything, every single problem you just cited above would be worse?
the best you can do is push back against the growth of the drug addled zombie underclass, and push back against the growth of the mafia, forever. NOT pushing back against these things simply means they grow and proliferate even more, to the destruction of far more rights and freedoms and destroyed lives than the war on drugs itself. you can't ever completely destroy the drug use, but that never was the point: the point is to simply minimize their stink
why can't you see that? why can't you appreciate the damage done by a large underclass of drug zombies and a fattened mafia from their existence? why doesn't your mind perceive of and understand the threat to individual freedom from those things?
here, learn your history:
here's the problem: teenagers are idiots. they think of themselves as immortal and immune, they don't perceive of the limitations of their willpower when faced, for example, with crippling addiction to something like coke/ heroin/ meth. and so, in an environment of easy access, a heck of a lot of them will try these things, and wind up with a life long crippling addiction
prevent them from accessing to these drugs though, and they mature to the point where they perceive on their own these substances have towards their quality of life and their freedom. of course you won't save everyone, some committed idiots are just hellbent on personal destruction. but a much larger class of casual idiots needs to be given the chance to escape the hell of addiction
i really wish you could understand and appreciate exactly what heroin, coke, and meth do to someone's lives and their minds and their freedom. of course the war on drugs has negative effects. i recognize and acknowledge every single negative you cite. now i wish you would acknowledge what free and unfettered access to heroin/ coke/ meth will cost in wasted lives, and see that it is far worse than the war on drugs

Steamboat senior runs to twin victories
Monday, April 16, 2012
Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs High School track coach Greg Long said Asher Rohde has never been one for a sprint.
"He always believed that to win races he would have to have a big lead and hang on and hope the those with speed would be too far back to catch him," Long said.
Rohde proved Saturday that he has evolved as a runner, flying to victory with a late-race surge in the 1,600-meter run at the Demon Invitational in Glenwood Springs.
Rohde sprinted to the finish, pulling ahead with 30 meters remaining for the highlight of what was a great day for the Steamboat senior. He followed that up with a comfortable win in the 3,200.
He finished in 4 minutes, 46.29 seconds in the 1,600 and in 10:32.76 in the 3,200.
"He has really learned to finish a race," Long said. "He used his kick, which is a newfound tool for Asher.
"That's a tough double, winning the 1,600 and 3,200 in the same day."
Rohde was joined in scoring points for the Sailors by Colton Lewer, who was third in the 800 in 2:10.67. Kodie Hoyt was sixth in the discus with a toss of 115 feet, 4 inches and seventh in the shot with a throw of 40 feet, 10-1/2 inches.

PDI Topical Workshops
Typically once a year PDI organizes a Topical Workshop for one of the research directions that we pursue. Our intention is to bring together the people working in a very specific field in a framework that encourages discussions, and learn from each other. To this end, the scope is very narrow, participation is by invitation only, and the total number of participants should not exceed 40.
Each group is allocated a slot of typically 30 minutes for the presentation of their results. The idea is to start talks directly with results and skip long introductions. More than one participant per group and particularly young researchers are very welcome. It is up to each group whether one person will give a single long presentation or several persons will give short talks. If there is sufficient interest, we also organize an additional small poster session.
PDI provides the room and refreshments for the coffee breaks, all other costs have to be covered by all participants.

One side of Lee's two-sided mailer (which was paid for by "Lee for Cobb") is standard fare touting his accomplishments and recapping his platform.
The other side consists of a photo of Byrne and a quote from his testimony at a late 2000s meeting of the Polk County Election Board.
States the ad, "In 2008 Bill Byrne ran for the Polk County Commission and attacked Cobb County."
The ad continues with a quote from Byrne's testimony: "The last thing I wanted to do is live in Cobb County, let alone serve in Cobb County. I want to make damn sure Cobb County doesn't move to Polk County. I live in Polk, I love this county and want to make sure that we preserve and protect this quality of life, and make sure Cobb County doesn't move here."
Byrne served a decade as Cobb chairman before resigning in 2002 to run unsuccessfully for governor. He ran for Cobb chair again in 2006 but dropped out before qualifying, then, ran in 2008 for a commission seat in Polk County, where he owns a horse farm. But the Polk County Elections board ultimately ruled that he was not a legal resident of that county.
Incidentally, Byrne's 10-acre Polk house and farm were purchased in 1998 on what his critics said were favorable terms from John Moore of Marietta, who then and now was one of Cobb's premiere zoning lawyers. The arrangement was sufficiently questionable to warrant a seven-month probe by the FBI after it was reported by the MDJ, but no charges were ever brought.
THE MORE IMMEDIATE QUESTION on Friday was whether the fact that Lee was resorting to such an ad indicates that his campaign is on the rocks. Candidates who are well ahead in the polls generally don't see the need to go negative because such ads turn off so many voters, even though they usually are effective. Lee is the best-funded of the four candidates and almost certainly has bankrolled private polling on his race. Are they painting a bleak picture?
Lee has had a rocky re-election run, saddled with his support for the increasingly unpopular TSPLOST referendum and his decision last year to raise property taxes, rather than cut spending, to balance the county budget.
Another indication that Lee's campaign might be taking on water came Friday when he suddenly seemed to hedge his support for the TSPLOST. Speaking in the third person, Lee told the MDJ's Jon Gillooly that, "Chairman Lee felt that his vote, how he voted, was one he didn't want to share, but he supports the referendum and the people's choice to decide their future."
As for the mailer, another of Lee's challengers, retired Marine Col. Mike Boyce of east Cobb, quipped, "At least we kept the race civilized for all but the last 11 days — which might be a local record."
COBB COMMISSIONERS and department heads got an unexpected email memo on Thursday notifying them that Tuesday's commission work session would start at 2 p.m., rather than the scheduled 1:30 p.m. There was no word as to why.
They found out around noon on Friday. That's when the Cobb Chamber of Commerce sent out an email blast of its own announcing a pro-TSPLOST rally from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The high-profile event at the Smyrna Community Center will feature Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed as headliner with former Gov. Roy Barnes of Marietta, Cobb Commission Chair Tim Lee and Smyrna Mayor Max Bacon singing backup.
Reed — who is said by political insiders to have gubernatorial ambitions — has emerged as the metro area's most forceful advocate for the TSPLOST in recent days. Tuesday's event will mark his second foray into Cobb this summer touting the program. He addressed the Cobb Chamber's Chairman's Club on the topic last month.
Tuesday's event is sponsored by the Cobb Chamber, the Council for Quality Growth and Citizens for Transportation Mobility.
THE JULY 31 TSPLOST referendum is doomed, according Around Town's conversations late this week with current and/or former elected local leaders on an off-the-record basis.
"Those who are opposing it have been extremely persistent," said a Marietta official. "The Chamber of Commerce has hammered those who are against it. But the 'antis' are handling it better. If the vote was held today it would not pass."
That was echoed by a retired north Cobb legislator.
"It is losing big right now and will lose on Election Day," he told Around Town.
Another elected Marietta official told Around Town he sees the proposal "struggling" in Cobb but still supports it.
"There's no alternative out there," he said. "If we do it again in two or four years we'd probably wind up with a real similar project list. As for the present list, I would have preferred it have more emphasis on rail and less on bus. We might not have the density for rail at this point, but we have to move in that direction."
The fourth leader contacted mentioned "mean-spirited" comments he'd witnessed at a recent public forum on the part of TSPLOST backers.
"When people take that attitude they usually have seen poll numbers that show things are not going their way and they get angry," he said. "And (TSPLOST proponents) are probably doing lots of polling. I mean, they have huge amounts of money. I think they see that they're behind, and they're getting worried and getting nasty."
That official, whose name has appeared on both local and statewide ballots in the course of a three-decade political career, also suggested that TSPLOST advocates are guilty of "overreaching" when it comes to their ballyhooed $8 million campaign fund.
"I think they're spending too much money too obviously and it is backfiring on them," he said. "If they had been more subtle and not said, 'Look at all this money we have,' it would have helped. They basically painted a big target on themselves. They've just been too 'In your face.'"
Another problem is the project list, which the official in question, a Republican, described as "weighted toward 'feel-good liberal items' like rail and mass transit and bicycles. The average commuter and the typical housewife just don't relate to that stuff."
It also hasn't helped that backers have changed the ostensible goal of the program from traffic relief to jobs and economic development.
"If that was what it was really about, then why not say that in the first place?" he asked. "It's hard to shift your rationale so late in the game."
SPEAKING OF THE TSPLOST, two rallies are slated today. Opponents plan the 10 a.m. "Lights for Liberty" motorcade, which will consist of two laps around I-285 in the center lane with lights flashing. Meanwhile, local Untie Atlanta supporters will gather at Dave Poe's BBQ at 660 Whitlock Ave., from 10 a.m. to noon. That's just down the street from Cobb Elections Office, where Saturday voting will be taking place. On Monday East Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott is sponsoring a TSPLOST debate at his 7 p.m. town hall meeting at Mount Bethel United Methodist. TSPLOST backers Chuck Clay and WSB traffic reporter "Capt. Herb" Emory will square off against frequent MDJ guest columnist Ron Sifen of Vinings at the event. The church is at 4385 Lower Roswell Road.
THE JULY 31 primary isn't here yet, but state Sen. Judson Hill (R-east Cobb), who's running unopposed, is already looking ahead. He told supporters at two recent Cobb GOP events that he plans to mount a primary challenge against U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Moultrie) in 2014. And should he be unsuccessful, he then plans to run in 2016 against U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-east Cobb), he said.
"Good luck with that," cracked a local politico after hearing of Hill's plans.

The podiatrist that we see told us a very common cause of ankle injury:
Tight Achilles Tendon [calf muscles]
If the calf muscles are tight, then they put stress on the talus. Stress on the talus pushes it forward on the calcaneus thereby causing improper gliding motion between the talus and tibia. Improper gliding motion causes wear in the joint.
Then today in my sports medicine class, my medical professor stated that people with very high arches have tight achilles tendons. He also said that those same people have a helluva time stretching out their calf muscles.
Bottom Line:
- To reduce ankle injury, stretch your calf muscles. Keep them limber.
- Avoid high heels if you can - they shorten calf muscles.
- Visit a podiatrist if you have ankle issues - avoid a chronic problem.
If you have weak ankles, consider prolotherapy.
If your ankle is absolutely trashed due to arthritis and you're young, you may consider ankle allograft. I know nothing about this but your doc may.
Hope this helps ya.

In the world of industrial supplies fraudulent invoicing arises fairly often. In the copier industry specifically, these types of operations are nicknamed "toner pirates" whereby they systematically invoice businesses for supplies that have not been purchased by these businesses.
In fact, the information that they use for the basis of their invoices (namely, business name, address and copier model) is deceptively easy to obtain. In many cases, they contact the business directly and obtain the basic copier model; then they issue their invoice. In 2002, the Competition Bureau of Canada issued a warning about exactly this type of situation. It is found at the following link:
The actions of such "toner pirates" do constitute fraud, but we at Ricoh Canada are not able to take additional steps unless you would like us to pass along the fraudulent invoice to law enforcement authorities for any additional investigation on their part into this fraud.
The best manner in which to combat these types of schemes is to keep the applicable individuals within your business well informed that your service agreements with us include toner and that these types of invoices should be discarded.

Directory- A directory listing allows you to look up staff and faculty to quickly access contact information. You can directly send an email or make a call. Would come in quite handy if trying to contact a teacher on the go.
Course Directory- A listing of all courses for the current quarter which allows you to check out what classes and times are available. However, you are not able to register for these classes via the app so it still leaves you sitting down at your desktop or doing it in person, making it a bit pointless. Could come in handy if you're standing in line to register and need a quick course ID look up, but that's about it.
BlackBoard- Now this would be fantastic. . . if there wasn't already a BB Mobile app available for download. I've had it for quite some time now. This section of SCC's app basically takes you to the BB Mobile app, making this function a bit redundant as well.
Videos- This takes you directly to a feed of SCC's YouTube channel. YouTube is another app already on most smart phones, so I wouldn't download it for this feature!
Images- A gallery of images related to SCC campus. Again, cool, but who really cares that much?
Emergency- Gives students quick access to 911 and campus security (emergency & non-emergency). Much quicker in a sticky situation that looking up campus security numbers. I don't know of anyone who found themselves in danger that would actually pull out their smartphone, launch SCC's Mobile App, wait for it to load, and enter the emergency section in order to access 911 rather than just calling it, but the security numbers are helpful.
I'm glad to see the progression of our campus in going mobile, especially since most colleges and universities aren't there yet for some reason. Still, I would like to see more functionality added to make an app that would actually be useful and provide a service to students. I hate to say it, but until there are some major updates; this will be another one of those apps I download that takes up space but never gets used. Another downside to this mobile overhaul? The website itself claims to be mobile. Well, I've tried it out and there is nothing mobile-friendly about it. Even the few pages that actually do re-size according to the size of your screen still leave you tapping and pinching to zoom in so you can actually read the content. Students who are forced to use the website on mobile devices, since the app doesn't yet provide students with much of a service, are left with a pretty painful experience. My opinion? Mobilize ALL of your website and do a halfway decent job, at least until you can develop an app that provides students with an actual service. It would be great to be able to login via SID and be able to access important student services such as waitlists, registration, grades, class schedules, financial aid, etc. Until SCC's Mobile app takes another step forward and begins to provide an app that is useful and effective, I sure won't be using it. Though I am proud to say that we are one of the colleges paving the road to progressive enhancement, I wish we would have made more of an impact while doing it. All in all I give SCC an "A" for effort in stepping up to the plate for progressive web enhancement, but a "D-" for usefulness and functionality.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A Topeka man convicted of two 2003 murders deserves a new trial in part because his previous attorney provided ineffective representation, the Kansas Supreme Court ordered Friday.
Phillip D. Cheatham was convicted in Shawnee County in 2005 of killing Annette Roberson and Gloria Jones and wounding a third victim, Annetta Thomas, at a Topeka home.
Justice Dan Biles wrote in Friday's opinion that Cheatham was denied a fair trial in part because his attorney at the time, Dennis Hawver of Ozawkie, did not put enough effort into preparing for the case. The justices said the 200 hours Hawver spent working on Cheatham's defense was "appallingly low for a death penalty defense and even more stunning when all but 60 of those hours, as Hawver testified, were spent in trial."
"Specifically, we hold that counsel's performance was deficient in several respects, which were most seriously problematic when he volunteered to the jury that Cheatham had a prior voluntary manslaughter conviction and referred repeatedly to his client as a 'professional drug dealer' and 'shooter of people.' This denied Cheatham his right to a fair trial," Biles wrote.
Messages left for Hawver and Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor seeking comments were not immediately returned. A spokesman for Attorney General Derek Schmidt said the office was reviewing the decision but declined to comment further.
Cheatham, 40, is being housed in maximum security custody at the state prison in Hutchinson. He was convicted on drug charges in 1991 and involuntary manslaughter in 1995. Both cases occurred in Wyandotte County.
During the appeals process, Shawnee County District Court Judge Mark Braun ruled Cheatham's death sentence should be set aside based on comments Hawver made during the sentencing portion of the case, but that the convictions should stand.
The decision to resentence Cheatham was based on Braun's conclusion that Hawver "had no business taking on a death penalty case."
Hawver was representing Cheatham on unrelated drug charges at the time of the shootings. Cheatham was arrested and being held in Chicago in December 2003 when he was charged in Topeka for the shootings. Cheatham originally was assigned a public defender to represent him on the murder charges until Hawver became the attorney of record.
According to testimony, Hawver said he maintained a busy practice, with about 60 percent of his cases civil and 40 percent criminal. Hawver tried three noncapital murder cases before 1985 before taking on the Cheatham case. He had said he never tried or participated in a death penalty case and was not on a list of qualified capital case attorneys maintained by the state Board of Indigent Defense.

McGuinness' media mates and feet firmly on the ground in Galway
Jim McGuinness' relationship with the media has come a long way in a short time, while it's good to see they're keeping their feet on the ground in Galway.
McGuinness rolls out the media welcome mat
As impressive as Donegal have been in the defence of their Ulster title to date, what must be worrying for their fellow All-Ireland contenders is the lack of fuss with which they are going about their business.
Wind the clock back 12 months and you couldn't open a paper without coming across a story about Jim McGuinness' troops, whether it was the shedload of criticism that came their way for their defensive style of play or the furore caused by Kevin Cassidy's controversial dismissal from the panel.
Before this year's Championship, McGuinness' relationship with the media seemed to cause him a fair degree of discomfort, literal discomfort when he copped a bloody nose after a collision with a photographer following the victory over Kildare last summer and a more social form of discomfort during the farcical interview conducted with TG4 earlier this year when he had to discuss why Kevin Cassidy wasn't in the Donegal panel... when Cassidy was only standing a few feet away. To be fair to him, he actually handled it pretty well under the circumstances.
Like Donegal's All-Ireland credentials, however, McGuinness' relationship with the fourth estate seems to be getting better and better and he was widely commended by media types for the Donegal press night on Thursday, when McGuinness and eight of his players were available for a chat.
Newstalk commentator Dave McIntyre had this to say about the set-up.
After his "crimes against Gaelic Football" comment during the Dublin v Donegal All-Ireland semi-final last summer we doubt whether similar hospitality would be laid on for Pat Spillane should he ever venture to the north-west, but McGuinness and the Donegal lads should be applauded for their accessibility and as McIntyre said, other counties should take note.
Yep, Galway hurling folk are really keeping their feet on the ground
Galway hurling people could be forgiven for letting a win over a Kilkenny side previously heralded as unbeatable by somebody who, eh, bears a close resemblance to your humble author, go to their heads, but thankfully for the Tribesmen, they haven't been getting carried away with themselves in the west.
Or, at least the players haven't. The supporters on the other hand...
Earlier this week, we showed you a poster that had gone up in one of the many fine Supermacs establishments dotted around Galway city, while the interweb was agog with memes such as this one featuring Brian Cody that could well come back to haunt its author later in the summer.
Continuing the theme of expectancy in the west, it seems as if Galway hurling jerseys have been flying off the shelves in the days since Sunday's unexpected success.
"Yes, of course Sunday's unexpected win for Galway hurlers has increased demand for Galway hurling merchandise," a spokesman told the Connacht Tribune.
"Demand has been brisk and we expect as the All-Ireland semi final draws closer that supporters will be clamouring for the various items for the game and hopefully the final, where the real volume business is conducted."
Being from another western county intimately associated with getting hopelessly caught up in hype, I should sound out a warning to Galway supporters about the potential perils that lie ahead, but with that many jerseys about, at least they'll have plenty of cloth to dry their tears if it all goes awry further down the line.
- Reportahsure13/07/2012 10:27 pm #Why are Joe.ie always on about hype surrounding Galway hurling supporters following Sundays win. You're basing it on a poster in Supermacs and people buying jersies. Tell us about hype if we had the team parade planned for Liam already.
Anyone I've spoke to in the county, with any sort of a hurling brain, firmly have their feet on the ground, they know the story with Galway hurling. Unpredictable, they know more than any county they can't get ahead of themselves. Think Waterford 09' and to a stretch Waterford 2011.

Ringing the changes as Dell diversifies
The PC maker has been working at adding new strings to its bow through product development and acquisitions, which have seen it branch out into software, storage and networking equipment, writes CIARA O'BRIEN
A FEW YEARS ago, Dell was the biggest name in the consumer electronics industry. Synonymous with the PC market, the emphasis was clearly on hardware.
It's still the fourth largest PC maker, but these days Dell is more interested in providing what Dell's EMEA president Aongus Hegarty describes as an "end-to-end" solution to its customers.
PCs and laptops are still part of that, making up about half of the company's revenue at the last count, but it's not the sole focus.
Dell has been working at adding new strings to its bow through a combination of product development and various acquisitions, which have seen it branch out into software, storage and networking equipment.
In the past couple of years, it has bought Quest Software, networking vendor Force10, thin client firm Wyse, and network security firm SonicWall, among others.
"Dell is going through a transformation over the last couple of years," Hegarty says. "We've really transformed the company over that period, and accelerated that in the last two years."
Hegarty has worked with Dell for some time – 12 years – and in a variety of roles, so he has been well placed to witness the company's transformation first hand.
At the beginning of the year, he took over responsibility for the EMEA region, including some of Dell's emerging markets.
It's an interesting time to be in the industry, with changing consumer needs and the economic crisis causing companies to tighten their belts.
"Our industry is so dynamic and changing, and there is such a wide variety of customers and experiences," says Hegarty.
"There are different challenges in different markets. The public sector is a market that from a spend and government perspective has been under a lot of pressure across many countries over the last couple of years.
"Yet technology can enable so much from an efficiency and productivity point of view, which is right at the forefront of what we're looking for."
It is that potential to lower costs that Dell is currently focusing on when promoting its services, offering more efficient solutions to customers.
Dell's move isn't unique; concentrating on the enterprise side of things is a path that IBM and HP have gone before it. IBM has moved to a pure enterprise focus, divesting itself of its hardware business and selling
its PC unit to Chinese firm Lenovo. HP had considered a similar move but ultimately decided to keep its personal systems group.
Dell says it isn't planning to dispose of its consumer device unit – that's not even a consideration at present.
"PCs and that technology is still important. It's not that we've stepped away from the PC, it's really that we have really broadened out our capabilities," says Hegarty.
"Customers I speak to are looking for a company that wants to understand their business, what their burning business needs and requirements are, and have the capability to deploy technology solutions to meet those needs. We would see ourselves as an end-to-end technology company.

- Apple Has Become the New Microsoft Joe Wilcox has covered Microsoft's antitrust woes since 1997. He says the similarities between Microsoft then and Apple now are striking:
The potential problems before Apple aren't that different from Microsoft... If the Feds see 'cross platform' as fostering competitive market and prohibiting the tools as being anticompetitive -- and they see Apple as having a monopoly over mobile applications -- then, yes, Apple could have problems.
1) The Justice Department claimed that Microsoft had a monopoly on Intel-based PCs. The DOJ never said all personal computers. Similarly, the FTC or DOJ could argue that Apple has a monopoly on iPhone -- or iPhone OS devices.
2) The Justice Department claimed that Microsoft used its monopoly power to restrict third-party platform access to Windows. The Feds identified Java and Netscape's browser as competing platforms. ... Now Java is back, being shut out on yet another computing platform. By restricting the development tools to its own, prohibiting cross-platform tools and favoring its own applications over third parties', Apple looks lots like Microsoft did to Clinton trustbusters in 1997 and 1998.
- Au Contraire: This Is Different From U.S. v Microsoft Since the early 80s, Philip Elmer-Dewitt has obsessively covered Apple and the tech world. He says these two case studies are markedly different:
The case against Microsoft was launched after Bill Gates bundled a free Web browser (Explorer) into Windows -- which had a market share at the time in the mid 90's -- cutting off Netscape's air supply (to use the language of Microsoft's internal memos) and driving it out of business.
Apple's doesn't enjoy that kind of market share. Its slice of the U.S. smartphone market is smaller than Research in Motion's (RIMM) and Google's (GOOG) Android share is rapidly catching up. ...
Adobe (ADBE) might -- and probably has -- filed a complaint against Apple based on the damage Apple has done to its efforts to promote Flash as a cross-platform development tool. And if the DOJ takes the case, it could use the line of attack it used against Microsoft, arguing that the "network effects" of the iPhone OS and the App Store tend to lock customers into Apple's ecosystem, and that to create a level playing field, the two businesses should be forcibly separated.
It didn't work 12 year ago, and it's hard to see how it's going to work today.

Wow, it's been a busy one and a half months or so since my last article, from hack sessions like Hackweekend to to tech meetups like BarCamp and NodeHack! Oh, and work too – we can't forget work as well, now can we?
Busy schedule aside, the realization dawned upon me that it's been long enough since my last post. To be honest, it was actually thrown out to me by the veritable vocals of my girlfriend along the lines of "update your freakin' blog!", but I was on the verge of completing this article – I swear
Seeing as how it's pointless to write full-length articles this late out after the events, I figured a short summary instead will just have to do!

ACEware Software
Student Manager, Email Module
54,695 plus names
An extensive year-round studio arts program enrolls 6,000 adults and youth students each year.
Unique Programs
Encaustic Painting – a form of painting using heated wax to which colored pigments are added.
"WAM launched Green Membership on June 20th and one of the first 10 registrations came in via ACEWEB!"
The average Student Manager customer has been with ACEware for eight years. Worcester Art Museum improves on that statistic, having been a customer just over eleven years.
"I've been in the Education Department for eight years, in my current position for three" says Elaine Pusateri Cowan. "In this time we've seen tremendous change and growth. For one thing, our web registrations have increased from 10% to somewhere between 30 to 40%, exceeding our original goals for web registration. In fact, we've had two transactions just while we were talking!"
Worcester At Museum
Worcester Art Museum knows a thing or two about time. WAM opened their doors in 1898, and today their collection represents 51 centuries of art including the Hunt Mosaic, the largest mosaic in North America. They also know a little about affiliations working with such diverse partners as local schools, colleges, universities and ACEware.
"Please remember," says Pusateri Cowan "that we work in an art museum and not everybody is a techie, we are "right brainers" "WAM has even offered a course Based on the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain!"
I'm impressed by the support we get from ACEware. "I swear Michael has an Elaine to Techie translator, because I will ask for something totally non-traditional or seemingly impossible and Michael will somehow make it work, he has been fabulous! With so many people using the system in so many different ways I'm a report maniac, but we have what we need. Other departments in the museum use software for various purposes, but none have an assigned tech that knows them. I've never experienced anything like this. It's refreshing."
WAM's mission encompasses exhibitions, collections, a café, a shop, a non-circulating library, special events (including catering) and of course, education.
"We require a ton of reports. Our programs run seven days a week and because we are in a Museum we require on-site security. Protective services needs to know if a model is expected for a class, if a workshop is meeting in a gallery after hours or if extra assistance is needed for a student with special needs. As a result we're making extensive use of the room use and web calendar features in Student Manager. It wasn't easy to translate all that to a database, but Student Manager now keeps us all on the same page."
Cowan says there's still lots to explore in Student Manager and things they'd like to make happen. "We'd like to beef up our website, do a better job of budgeting, and get everybody on board with financials, but 400 classes, workshops and tours per year keep us pretty busy."

Tempo Networks, often referred to as the MTV of the Caribbean, is the brainchild of the Virgin Islands native and Newark resident, Frederick A. Morton. It's hard to believe but before Tempo Networks started reaching millions of Caribbean households from Dominica to St. Lucia, the cluster of islands never shared a common media channel. Imagine a United States without any national networks like NBC or CNN.
While working at MTV as head of litigation, Morton knew that it was up to him to bridge the gap amongst the islands and help them communicate their shared appreciation for Carib culture.
The Atlanta Post interviewed Morton at the company's headquarters in Newark, New Jersey (yes, we know it's not the Caribbean) to talk about his journey as an entrepreneur and as a trailblazer in media.

The most obvious quality that separates "organic" farmers and gardeners from chemical farmers and gardeners is an innate respect for the Wisdom of Nature, which is generally arises from a strong sense of the spiritual nature of working with the land and with plants.
Two teachers of note who arose on these topics in the Seventies were Peter Tomkins and Alan Chadwick.
Tompkins, and co-author Christopher Byrd, with the publication of The Secret Life of Plants, made Americans aware for the first time that plants were sentient, that if a human being pays attention to them (or plays music to them!), they will respond in positive ways.
Chadwick was already working with these insights and had a unique ability as a teacher to open other people to these new awarenesses in such a way that, in a time when people thought food could only be grown with artificial fertilizers and a lot of pesticide application, individuals were empowered to create gardens without chemicals of such astounding fertility that they out produced conventional farmers by many fold.

Chestnut Hill's website lists 2011-2012 and not the 2012-2013 costs, which is why they were not included.

There is a Junior College in Phoenixville. The Lansdale School of Business is located in the Franklin Commons building. They offer associate degrees and diploma programs in a variety of fields. One of the best things about their program is that they offer lifetime career assistsance. I went to West Chester and when I moved back to PA, WCU was useless in helping me find a job.

Good morning, Lucy.
Thank you for you for your helpful article in The Phoenixville Patch this morning. I thought you might be interested to know the costs here at Valley Forge Christian College, Phoenixville, PA which are considerably less than the colleges you listed, i.e. Tuition: $16,648; Room/Board: $7,486; Fees: $950 for a total of $25,084.
If you would like more information on our 23 undergraduate majors and 4 master's degrees, please feel free to let me know.

Christian College/Madras?
Sounds like a pretty dull collegiate experience....
I apologize...but I couldn't resist. I had a GREAT time in college, and have experience in Christian High Schools prior (and trips to Christian Colleges) to have a bit more knowledge behind my slag...
Where is the local Penn State branch? Philadelphia Community College?
College is expensive, but in today's economy the investment is well worth it...
7:32 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Why pay 40,000 dollars for a degree that's not worth the paper it is written on? Rosemont, Cabrini, and Philly U are all just setting you up for a vibrant live as a barista...
8:50 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
I remember reading that Cabrini was actually lowering tuition and fees for 2012-13 and keeping scholarships at the same level. Just looked it up and tuition and fees are going to be $29K instead of $33. I don't know what room and board costs.
Lucy Bennett
12:25 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Carbini's costs are listed on the table in the article.
9:09 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Sorry, Lucy..I see you did include R&B. I wonder if any other area schools have decreased tuition as well. Interesting to see if that increases enrollment.

Montgomery County Community College is +/- $3,000. Of course, the downside is the kids have to continue to live at home......

For the savings sending a child to a community college you can get them a crappy student apartment and STILL come out $10,000 or more ahead. Two years at a community college, combined with a State school (why are private schools touted so highly? Is the added expense ((Penn aside)) worth the extra money?)

Lucy, many of your readers already know that there is a residential, co-ed, associate degree-granting college in their backyard that has a strong career focus and excellent job placement rate for its allied health students. Harcum College has been educating area residents for nearly a century. The Main Line Chamber of Commerce just chose Harcum as its Nonprofit Business of the Year.
Several people posting here have expressed concern about tuition costs at the colleges and universities listed.
At Harcum, tuition for the 2012 academic year is $9,950 per semester.
Full-time enrollment with room(double) and board is $28,500 per year.
This is substantially less than any other private institution in the area.
Thanks to the Patch for keeping us informed on local events and organizations!

How much is the Practice Assessment and who pays it?
Licensed APA members who provide health or mental health services or supervise those who do pay the Practice Assessment to belong to the APA Practice Organization. The base Practice Assessment amount of $140 for 2011 is noted on the APA dues statements sent in September 2010.
Several categories of members are able to claim an "adjustment" that results in a reduced Practice Assessment or no payment due.
For example, early career psychologists licensed for 12 months or less pay $25, while those licensed for 13 to 24 months pay $75.
Members engaged in the provision of health or mental health services or clinical supervision thereof for less than five hours per week pay a Practice Assessment of $85. This adjustment may apply, for example, to an early career psychologist raising a family or to a late-career psychologist winding down his or her practice.
Licensed psychologists who are not engaged in providing any health or mental health services (including supervising those who do provide those services) can elect to pay no Practice Assessment. Such psychologists claim an adjustment on their dues statement reflecting their non-practitioner work settings. These adjustments include: employed solely as an academic administrator or faculty member (e.g., dean, professor); employed solely in a non-health-related capacity by public or private organizations (e.g., research consultant, I/O consultant); employed solely in providing education-related services in an institutional setting. Finally, APA members who qualify for Full Life Status or reduced dues as a result of hardship pay no Practice Assessment.
The list of "Practice Assessment Adjustments" and corresponding payment due for each is included annually in the APA Dues Statement Instructions.
As noted earlier, Practice Assessment monies support the work of the APA Practice Organization, a legally separate entity with a different IRS status than APA. As a result, Practice Assessment payments are not part of your APA membership dues, although they are billed on your APA dues statement.
The APA Practice Organization is housed administratively in the Practice Directorate, which also provides services for the 501(c)(3) APA on behalf of practicing psychologists and consumers of psychological services.

Compensation for Wall Street Gamblers
With all the Occupy protests going around demanding that the 1% pay its "fair share," it's reasonable to go back and revisit the reasons for and against raising taxes Wall Street traders. The main reason cited by conservatives and free marketers for not taxing capital gains is that the market will function more efficiently when the rewards go to the individuals who were smart enough to pick winning stocks. Whatever the winners choose to do with the money they earned, so the argument goes, will likely be more efficient use of that money going forward than any other use it's put to by people with less knowledge of how to make that sum earn more.
But not so fast my friend. Daniel Kahneman studied the investment choices (thanks to Steve Hsu for the link) of 25 wealth advisers for a period of 8 years and found that year to year correlations in how they ranked against each other came out to 0.01, or effectively zero. It means there is no skill differentiation in financial investment decisions made at the highest levels, or in other words, winners lucked out.

Letter of Support: Sen. Coburn's Medicaid Improvement and State Empowerment Act, S. 1031
Dear Senator Coburn,
On behalf of more than 1.7 million Americans for Prosperity activists in all 50 states, I write to applaud your introduction of S. 1031, the Medicaid Improvement and State Empowerment Act. Your bill advances one of AFP's strongest fiscal policy priorities: putting Medicaid back on a sustainable fiscal path by replacing the current inefficient FMAP funding structure with block grants that promise to bring billions in savings along with improved services for the neediest Americans.
Medicaid spending is growing at unsustainable rates and is heavily contributing to the exploding national debt. Federal government spending on the program has more than doubled in the past decade, jumping from $118 billion in 2000 to $273 billion last year. Despite state governors' constant complaints of the severe strain it places on their budgets, the Medicaid expansion under the president's new health care law promises to take an additional $118 billion bite out of their budgets through 2023. Benefits are already being scaled-back in the program and Medicaid recipients are denied care as a result: currently 40 percent of physicians refuse access for Medicaid patients because the program's reimbursement rates for physicians are too low. Without reform, Medicaid will either crush our nation with further debt and higher taxes, or it will fail to provide promised benefits to needy Americans.
Two major flaws in the current FMAP funding structure are causing this unsustainable spending. First, the funding structure incentivizes bloated spending on Medicaid and S-CHIP while making any cuts extremely difficult. This is a budgetary nightmare for states that are currently facing cumulative budget deficits of $175 billion over the next three years. Matching funds mean that the more a particular state spends on the programs, the more it gets from the federal government – essentially paying states to spend more. Conversely, it costs states double to reform their Medicaid spending – for every state dollar they save from the program they lose a federal dollar as well. This budgeting problem is further compounded by the large chunk of state budgets that Medicaid consumes: the National Governors Association recently reported that Medicaid accounts for nearly a quarter of total state spending, and was quite often the single largest item on states' budgets.
Second, federal matching funds come with many strings attached: a slew of rules, restrictions, and red tape that ties the hands of state officials and limits opportunities to use the funds most effectively. One prime example is the costly Medicaid "Maintenance of Effort" requirements imposed by the new heath care law that orders states to add millions of individuals to their Medicaid rolls, but fails to provide additional federal funding to do so. With more and more restrictions added over the years, states have in effect become de facto administrators of a federal program.
Block grants would free the states from such restrictions and backwards funding incentives. Instead of matching funds, under your plan states get a lump sum grant that caps total federal funding assistance for the program and grows over time only with inflation and population growth. Cost-savings are further encouraged because states get to keep any grant funds that they do not spend. This empowers states to more effectively budget for health care spending, setting spending levels according to the unique needs and priorities of their citizens. Equally important, states are freed from the federal rules and restrictions previously attached to the matching funds: under your plan states will be allowed to design and innovate in their programs as they see fit, adopting their own methods to improve benefit delivery for the neediest populations, improve efficiency, and find cost-savings that stretch the value of taxpayers' dollars further. We are pleased to see that your bill repeals Medicaid MOE requirements.
When given the opportunity to innovate through block grants, states have proven the success of this strategy. Rhode Island has already found success with a block-granting waiver that took effect in 2009, saving $100 million on its Medicaid program within the first eighteen months. When the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) welfare program was converted from matching funds to block grants in 1996, states were given incentives to find program-savings by reducing dependency and improving the outcomes for welfare recipients. The result was spectacular success: former welfare dependents were put to work, child poverty declined every year, welfare rolls were reduced by two-thirds nationwide, and total federal spending on the program fell by 31% from 1995 to 2006. By moving people off of welfare and into employment, states were able to more effectively target and improve support for its most vulnerable citizens. Total spending per welfare recipient has exploded, growing from $1,031 in 1996 to $3,756 in 2009, its highest level ever.
Considering the proven success of block grants, we encourage you to consider expanding your bill's reforms to include acute care for disabled individuals and dual eligibles, those who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid assistance. Your bill provides a specific exemption for these populations, maintaining the current flawed FMAP model for their acute care.
Americans for Prosperity is proud to support your legislation and its efforts to get government health care spending under control. I urge your colleagues to support its passage, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Anna and The Annadroids: Clone Zone
nytheatre.com review by Debbie Hoodiman Beaudin
August 15, 2007
One of the benefits of a large theatre festival like FringeNYC is that we audience members get a chance to step out of our tried-and-true favorite type of theatre and see works we may never have seen otherwise. I thought of this while watching the often bizarre and sometimes exciting, self-described "multimedia dance concert," Anna and the Annadroids: Clone Zone.
The piece, the brainchild of Anna Sullivan, who is the writer, director, choreographer, principal dancer, and primary vocalist, uses movement, video, and music to tell the story of a girl named Anna who has become too caught up in desires (such as shopping, sex, success, over-medication, etc.) that are not necessarily good for her. On her birthday, after spending tons of money shopping at the mall, she passes out in her birthday cake and finds herself whisked away to a video game where she can explore her desires in more detail.
While Anna is "down the rabbit hole," she has five "lives," represented by Annadroids. The Annadroids move from zone to zone as the game progresses and Anna explores her psyche.
(Confused? Okay. On a literal level, there are five dancers in front of a screen, music playing, and video in the background. Throughout the show, the video, music, and dance numbers change. The story is framed with realistic scenes about a girl on her birthday.)
On a technical level, this show is quite amazing for the amount of creativity involved. The show mostly uses original music composed by Forest Christensen and David Morneau. Throughout the show, the computerized and rhythmic music helps the audience get into the video-game feeling of the show; the vocals are oft-repeated, spoken words that sound appropriately electronically enhanced.
Of Brent Haley's very interesting video and animation, my favorite segment is the zone in which one of the Annadroids catches a virus. During the segment, there is the outline of a human figure with more and more bugs crawling inside the figure.
Under Sullivan's choreography and direction, the Annadroids' movements help each video game zone come to life. For example, during the "Sub-urban Daze" zone, the dancers jog in front of the screen containing animated rows of identical houses; during "(Man)ufractured," which seems to explore human sexuality, the dancers work in pairs, using lifts, and making shapes where their bodies touch. The dancers themselves—Amy Campbell, Shelby Lafrinere, Kristin Lewis, Rian Orders, and Anna Sullivan—seemed perfect. I loved watching their skill, expression, and coordination.
My favorite technical aspect of the show was Sullivan's costume design. The Annadroids all look like bizarre dolls with short, black, bobbed wigs, painted faces, exaggerated red lips, and long, sparkling eye lashes. Their identical and cold look fits well with Sullivan's concept. The Annadroids have several costume changes, and I found them exciting—the cool, matching jogging sets; the black dresses with the ruffled collars; the fuchsia tutus—and looked forward to seeing what the Annadroids would wear next.
The program notes state that this show is based on Jung's "multi-layered psychoanalytic model of the human psyche," and I saw evidence that it is highly planned on a conceptual level. Mostly, though, I appreciated the story on a visceral level, enjoying the skill, creativity, and originality of what I saw before me.
Overall, the show made me want to step out of my box more often and explore more movement-based theatre.
