Ursula Gibson Statement
The Optical Society, in partnership with the OSA Foundation, provides support to the optical community at every level, from student outreach to local chapters, international conferences and advocacy for science and technology initiatives.
The organization welcomed me during the early stages of my career, connected me with professionals from around the world, and opened my eyes to the diversity of topics under its umbrella. Much has changed in the intervening years, engendering new challenges and opportunities.
Digital information storage and transmission, enabled by optical technologies, has altered the worlds of education, communication and publication —pillars upon which our society is built. OSA established one of the first all-digital journals, and due to careful stewardship and high standards, Optics Express maintains a prestigious place in a rapidly expanding world of online publications. Looking forward, there are new opportunities for OSA to show its leadership:
While digital technology, including ubiquitous Twitter, Facebook and other online feeds, can assist personal interactions that play an important role in science, it cannot supplant them. OSA, through workshops and topical conferences, will continue to form a nexus for these activities. At larger conferences, connections across different areas of optics can be supported — for example:
These are a few ideas that may prove useful going forward, and there are many more that the membership will bring to the Board. I look forward to great progress in the coming years.

Susana Marcos Statement
I consider The Optical Society as my professional home — a successful organization of which I feel proud of being a Fellow member and for which I am happy to volunteer. In fact, a key to OSA's success is the willingness of members at all levels to participate and serve the society, and to feel part of an extraordinary motor of a continuously expanding field such as optics and photonics. For these reasons, I am honored to stand as a candidate for Vice President, after serving OSA as a Director at Large and in various other roles.
OSA has an excellent track record of being the reference society of optics worldwide, through its highly reputed peer-reviewed journals, technical conferences and prestigious awards. Through the sustained impact of its long-standing publications, such as the Journal of the Optical Society of America — soon to turn 100 years old — and the tremendous success of open-access journals such as Optics Express, Biomedical Optics Express or Optical Materials Express. OSA should continue to uphold its high ethical standard in publications, one of the gems of the society.
OSA should also play a role in public outreach, and create an impact in society and politics concerning the value of the science and technology of optics and photonics in the economic growth and well-being of people. Outstanding OSA programs in that regard include the OSA Congressional Fellowships, Ambassador Programs, awareness articles in Optics and Photonics News, and the National Photonics Initiative. The involvement of industry and of social and political agents is crucial in achieving those goals, and OSA can certainly serve as an extraordinary vehicle to promote translation and entrepreneurship in the optics and photonics field. As a supervisor of a Student Chapter at my own institute, and through various interactions with Student Chapters worldwide, I am thrilled by the enthusiasm, extraordinary sense of belonging to the society, and capacity for organization and dissemination of the OSA student members. These activities amplify the enormous commitment of OSA to education and to spreading science among the youngest. The OSA Foundation's educational kits, Girl Scout programs, and other efforts are fantastic tools for motivation at a young age — and very possibly triggers for future careers in optics.
Finally, OSA has truly become an international society. As the fraction of international OSA members outside the USA increases, it is necessary to effectively increase connections with other national and supra-national optical societies worldwide. As a European member of the Society, with a large network of academic collaborators and colleagues in the United States, Latin-America, Australia and Asia, and as the head of a largely multicultural laboratory, I strongly believe that the international exchanges can only help to build up a stronger community and create a larger impact for our scientific findings and technological advances. I envision OSA as an international and multidisciplinary, inclusive society, supportive of minorities, women, young scientists, experienced researchers, and entrepreneurs — building on the solid ground of over a century of leadership in optics, with a shining future ahead.

Mark Brongersma Statement
Congratulations! This year, OSA is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Over the last century we have witnessed incredible advances in optics and photonics. The results of these impressive scientific advances can be seen all around us and new areas for discovery keep opening up. The society itself has also evolved to become the premier professional organization that brings together scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs of all ages and all places around the globe to openly discuss current advances and future challenges for the field.
At Stanford, we have a very active and broad photonics and optics effort and I have very much enjoyed seeing the many positive impacts of OSA on virtually every aspect of these programs. We have a very active OSA Student Chapter, and it is exciting to listen to the many new ideas for the future coming from the next generation of talent. I definitely would like to be an extra voice for them.
I am active in the fields of nanophotonics and plasmonics, relatively new branches of our field. I also cofounded a company that aims at large-area nanopatterning of optical nanostructures. As a result, I have witnessed firsthand the effectiveness and influence of OSA on an increasingly diverse community. I am eager to help OSA identify and reach out to budding areas of science and technology, to further grow and strengthen our vibrant community. The entrepreneurial atmosphere at Stanford allows an insight into the initial spark of ideas which leads to many start-up companies. This, along with being centered in the heart of Silicon Valley — one of the world's premier start-up locations — puts me in a unique and valuable position to identify these opportunities. Links between these prospects and OSA can be developed even further, in part, by fortifying the support of the local sections and Student Chapters.
I have personally gained much from the being part of OSA and an active member of the photonics community. The broad scope of activities offered by OSA has allowed me to meet many of my friends and collaborators. I am eager to work with the members of OSA to think about new ways to broaden these opportunities for interaction and learning for everyone interested in the fascinating world of light.

Tim Carrig Statement
I have been a member of The Optical Society since 1987 when I first attended an OSA event – the annual meeting in Rochester, N.Y. As a graduate student, I found that experience akin to visiting a toy store, and it motivated me to learn as much as I could about our field. Since then, I have greatly benefited from being an OSA member in many obvious and typical ways, including attending and presenting at conferences, publishing in journals, and interacting with colleagues. These positive experiences encouraged me to participate more deeply in OSA activities by becoming a volunteer. In each instance I have found these engagements to be rewarding, and each opportunity has provided additional incentive to contribute. However, in all cases, whether it be conference or journal related, it always boils down to the simple truth that people in our field do amazing and interesting things and are willing to share their knowledge. I've never left an OSA meeting without a new list of ideas to pursue!
I'm excited and honored to be considered for a position on the OSA Board of Directors. During my career, I have had the good fortune to work at a university, in government laboratories, and for both small and large businesses. I believe these experiences enable me to see our field from several perspectives and will help me to represent the greater membership. I have also had the privilege to participate in conference planning, to review and edit journal submissions, to serve on several OSA committees, and to contribute as both a meeting and student award sponsor. These activities have educated me regarding how OSA operates and will help me to more effectively serve on the Board.
Our 100th anniversary provides a great opportunity to review what the society has accomplished and to set strategic priorities for the next century. Change is ubiquitous and the society will need to continually evolve to keep pace with new information-sharing technologies. This is critical if OSA is to remain the world's go-to source for optics and photonics knowledge, and to serve its membership's career and professional needs.
I believe the Board must ensure that OSA maintains the field's most relevant meetings and journals. Historically, these have always been strong academically and on the forefront of science and technology. Going forward, we must ensure that these offerings are also relevant to business and industry as breakthroughs and innovations must often struggle across a funding chasm before becoming solutions and products.
OSA must foster a welcoming and inviting presence in an increasingly diverse optics community. This includes making our journals and meetings accessible and affordable to those across the globe, supporting student and local chapters, supporting career events for our members, and actively collaborating with other groups such as the IEEE Photonics Society and APS.
Lastly, OSA must continue to play a leading role in encouraging and fostering STEM education. These activities need to continue to be focused not just on students, but also on civic and national political leaders.

Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz Statement
I joined OSA in 1980, while a graduate student, because I wanted to receive Optics Letters regularly and faster than it was received by the university library in Brazil. Since then the society has been contributing to my scientific career through its publications, meetings, and conferences. In 1996 I contributed to the society as a member of the then-interim International Advisory Committee, under Tingye Li.
This year we commemorate OSA's 100th anniversary. The Society has been an essential point of reference for thousands of scientists worldwide. Its publications and events stimulate and facilitate the communication and discussion of frontier scientific results. More recently OSA adopted effective strategies to inspire younger generations of scientists. To the benefit of all members the Society has implemented a series of actions to expand its global reach, so much so that since 2008 the Society has been known as OSA - The Optical Society.
Drawing from my professional experience in research as well as in developing and implementing research policy, I am eager to contribute to the society in the following themes:
Martijn de Sterke Profile University of Sydney, Australia
Martijn de Sterke was bitten by the optics bug during a third-year undergraduate laboratory experiment at the University of Delft in the Netherlands, studying the aberrations of microscope objectives. He received B. Eng. and M. Eng. degrees from Delft, and his Ph.D. in optics from the University of Rochester (1987). After postdoctoral work at the University of Toronto, he took up a faculty position at the University of Sydney in 1991, where he has been a Professor in Physics since 2003. He was Associate Dean for Research at Sydney from 2004-2006. He received the Pawsey Medal from the Australian Academy of Sciences in 1999, and was awarded an OSA Fellowship in 2003.
Martijn de Sterke has been associated with OSA since 1987, when, as a graduate student, he presented at the annual meeting held in Rochester, N.Y. More recently (2001-2006), he has been Associate Editor of Optics Express, and he was its Editor-in-Chief during 2007-2012, a time during which the yearly submissions to the journal nearly doubled to over 6,000. He was the first from outside North America to be appointed to be Editor-in-Chief of an OSA journal. Since 2014 he has been Chair of OSA's Board of Editors. He has been active in conference organization, most notably as a Program Chair of the 2011 CLEO Pacific Rim conference meeting held in Sydney, and also of the QELS conference when it was held in Munich in 2013. He has been an OSA Traveling lecturer for many years, most recently visiting India in 2015 and again earlier this year. From 2006-2007, he was a Council member of the Australian Optical Society (AOS).
Martijn de Sterke is a theorist who has published more than 300 refereed journal papers and book chapters in areas as varied as nonlinear optics, guided-wave optics, wave propagation in random media, periodic media (including fiber gratings and photonic crystals), solar energy, plasmonics and metamaterials. Highlights include theory and the first experimental observation of gap solitons, the development of the Multipole Method for the calculation of the modes of microstructured optical fibers, and the theory and observation of Bloch oscillations in curved waveguide arrays. He was a founding Chief Investigator of the CUDOS research center (seven universities, over 100 researchers) which has received continuous funding from the Australian Government since 2003. He has supervised or co-supervised 22 Ph.D. students to completion.
Martijn de Sterke Statement
The activities for which OSA is best known are its publications and conferences, which are the gold standard in optics and photonics, and it is crucial for OSA and for the health of our field generally that this remain so. Through these and other activities, I consider OSA to be the de facto global organization for the advocacy and promotion of research in optics and photonics. OSA has made tremendous progress in becoming an inclusive, international organization — witness the fact that both 2017 candidates for Vice President and three out of five candidates for Director at Large do not reside in the United States. Nonetheless, with almost half of the papers published in OSA journals now coming from Asia and the Pacific Rim, this is not the time to be complacent on this. As such, if elected to the Board of Directors, my priorities would be:

What is issuance?
Issuance of certified emissions reductions (CERs) refers to the creation of CERs which correspond to greenhouse gas emission reductions or greenhouse gas removals which have been generated, verified and certified in respect of a CDM project activity.
In general, the same procedures for issuance of CERs apply to a Programme of Activities (PoAs) as for standard CDM projects:
The procedures for verification, certification and request for issuance of certified emission reductions (CERs) as referred to in paragraphs 62, 63 and 64 of Decision 3/CMP.1 and the procedures for review of requests for issuance of CERs as contained in Annex IV to Decision 4/CMP.1 and subsequent related decisions of the Executive Board shall apply unless modified through the provisions below (EB 32, Annex 39, paragraph 18).
Note that the "Procedure for Review of Requests for Issuance of CERs" (EB 64, Annex 4), which describes the process that needs to be undertaken when a review of a request for issuance is requested, replaced Annex IV to decision 4/CMP.1. Furthermore, procedures for submitting a request for issuance, and finalising a request for issuance that does not receive a request for review, are provided in the "Procedures for Requests for Issuance of CERs" (EB 54, Annex 35).
The designated operational entity (DOE) requests issuance by submitting the F-CDM-POA-REQCERS form, and must identify each component project activity (CPA) to which the request relates:
A DOE shall request issuance of CERs for a PoA by submitting the "CDM form to submit verification and certification reports and to request issuance for a PoA"(F-CDM-POA-REQCERS) via a dedicated interface on the UNFCCC CDM website. The request shall identify the CPAs covered and the monitoring period verified for each CPA. The periods verified for each CPA shall be consecutive. A request for issuance shall relate to the certified emission reductions verified as per above (EB 32, Annex 39, paragraph 22).

Expansions Difficulty/Complexity: Easy
This is a cash-free version of the game wherein all transactions are handled through personal checking accounts and recorded in individual check registers. Each player is responsible for his own account and must record all transactions – payment and receipt of rent, taxes, bribes, etc. in his check register.
To teach children (and some adults) how to accurately record transactions and balance a check register.
How to Play
- Download and print the Bank of Monopoly Personal Check Register (includes rules)
- Instead of distributing cash at the beginning of the game, players record the opening balance at the top of the check register (in the right-hand column under $ Balance). If playing the original Atlantic City Monopoly game with the distribution of 2 x $500, 2 x $100, 2 x $50, 6 x $20, 5 x $10, 5 x $5 , and 5 x $1 bills, the opening balance is $1,500.
- Instead of using cash, all transactions are recorded in the check register under Deposit (+) and Payment (-), and all money belonging to the player is totaled in the $ Balance column.
Click on the image to view a sample check register
How to Use the Check Register
- For each transaction, begin by recording the date and/or time. Since most games are played within one day, you may opt to record the time of each transaction instead of the date. We suggest placing a clock on the table in a spot easily visible by all players.
- Enter a brief description of the transaction. For example, "Luxury Tax," "Rent – Board Walk," "Passed Go."
- When making a deposit record the amount in the Deposit (+) column, add it to the existing balance and record the new balance in the $ Balance column.
- When making a payment, record the amount in the Payment (-) column and subtract the amount from the existing balance and record the new balance in the $ Balance column.
- Examples of transactions that belong under Deposit (+):
Passing "Go," collecting rent and utilities, Chance and Community Chest bonuses (bank error, dividends, income tax refund, etc.), mortgaging property, selling houses and hotels - Examples of transactions that belong under Payment (-):
Paying rent, utilities, income tax, luxury tax, school tax, poor tax, hospital bill, etc., buying property, building houses and hotels, un-mortgaging property.
- Examples of transactions that belong under Deposit (+):
Transactions Between Players
When one player must pay another player – rent, Chance or Community Chest, etc. – he debits the amount from his account under Payment (-). The player receiving the funds adds the amount to his account under Deposit (+).
Optional Overdraft and Negative Balance
Instead of declaring bankruptcy and leaving the game when a player's balance reaches $0, the player can be charged an Overdraft Fee of $25 per transaction that creates or maintains a negative balance. For each round that the balance remains negative (upon landing on or passing "Go"), the player is charged a 10% overdraft penalty. This is a good lesson in the snowball effect of debt.
Optional Personal Checks
To train youngsters how to properly make out checks, personal checks are also included (page 6) for practicing on game transactions.

Weekly Wish List | Statement Jeans and Spring Outerwear
When was the last time you spoilt yourself for no reason? I kept my spending to a minimum throughout January and much of February, in an attempt to get the year off to a frugal start. But slowly I've noticed my reserve slipping. And I'm sure it has a lot to do with all of the spring 2017 drops hitting stores right now… read more
How to Successfully Shop for Glasses Online
At this point in time there is little that we won't shop for online. Clothing, technology, food, toilet paper… Hell, even men (hey there, Bumble). But it's always been a bit of a challenge to purchase eyewear over the internet. And that's a shame, because visiting the opticians feels like such a chore (to me, it's worse than going to the dentist). Plus, it's often much cheaper to order your specs online. read more

Perseids meteor shower expected to light up the sky
A meteor streaks past stars in the night sky over the village of Kuklici, near Kratovo on August 13, 2012. The Perseids meteor shower is observed every August when the Earth passes through a stream of space debris left by comet Swift-Tuttle. (REUTERS/Ognen Teofilovski)

Stargazers will get their best chances to view the Perseids meteor shower Tuesday and Wednesday night, the Canadian Space Agency says.
The best viewing time is after midnight until about two hours before dawn and people might be able to see 50-80 meteors an hour.
The agency recommends people heading out to watch the shower dress warmly and either lie down in a reclining chair or on a blanket.
"To increase your chances of seeing shooting stars, set out in search of dark skies in the countryside," a statement on the agency's Facebook page says.
Researchers at NASA said the almost-full moon will "wash out" fainter meteors, but "there should still be a good show of brighter meteors."
The Perseids have been observed for at least 2,000 years and are associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. Each year, the Earth passes through a cloud of the comet's debris.
Have you ever witnessed a meteor shower?


text: Quantum control experiment reveals solvation-induced decoherence(full pdf)P. van der Walle, M. T. W. Milder, L. Kuipers, and J. L. Herek Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) vol 106 no 19 p7714–7717 may 12 2009 doi:10.1073/pnas.0901833106 Coherent control holds the promise of becoming a powerful spectroscopic tool for the study of complex molecular systems. Achieving control requires coherence in the quantum system under study. In the condensed phase, coherence is typically lost rapidly because of fluctuating interactions between the solvated molecule and its surrounding environment. We investigate the degree of attainable control on a dye molecule when the fluctuations of its environment are systematically varied. A single successful learning curve for optimizing stimulated emission from the dye in solution is reapplied for a range of solvents with varying viscosity, revealing a striking trend that is correlated directly with the dephasing time. Our results provide clear evidence that the environment limits the leverage of control on the molecular system. This insight can be used to enhance the yield of control experiments greatly. |

Alyssa Ordillano
Creative Designer / Art Director
Alyssa Ordillano
Creative Designer/Art Director
London, UK
Instagram @alyssandrea
twitter @alyssaordillano
What do you do?
I'm a Freelance Creative Designer and a Media and Communications student in London. I have over 3 years of design experience and learning hands on has always been my goal, so I started interning way before I needed to, to get ahead of the game.
What steps did you take to get where you are now?
I was actually the kind of person who didn't know where I wanted to specialize in, but I've always known it'd be within the creative industry. Something has always drawn me into doing Art and Information Technology, and later on realized that it wouldn't be a bad idea to merge them together.
When I was at college doing IT, I was the only girl in my class. They were so competitive! But in a good way. This pushed me to find where I know I'd excel at, so I began to look for internships whilst everyone in my class was just enjoying their free time mostly hanging around with friends and playing games.
I landed an internship somewhere locally, and I started to put my work on the internet and this enabled me to be discovered from people from abroad. This was the start of my collaborations with people from LA, Ontario and Sydney. This pushed me to strive for more!
My confidence was unlocked when my photographic work was featured in the National Geographic Traveller UK magazine as the winning photo for their 'Your Pictures' competition. I couldn't believe it! Since then, I realized that if people from NatGeo noticed my work, I could do more great work and get out there more.
I began collaborating with more people like fashion stylists, writers, bloggers, emerging singers and even dating experts! I also landed a paid internship where I had the chance to flesh out more of my skills and talents. There, I also took advantage of their offer to train me in any area that I'd like to explore, so I chose to study Art Direction at the University of the Arts London as a short course.
So now I'm looking to grow more as a creative even though I'm only in the second year of my studies in university. Already, people from my university are noticing my hard work, which feels really nice!
For other people in your field, what do they usually lack?
Less admiration, more competition.
I often notice that people are so competitive when it comes to talking about what they do, or what they've done. When I attended the short course, I was highly discouraged by one of my then classmates, because I was the youngest and still attending university.
She said that I can't be an Art Director yet because I don't have enough experience (even though she hasn't seen my CV yet) and that I shouldn't be reaching that high yet because there are already so many people who want to get to the top. This is not at all my goal. My goal is to aim higher but learn as much as I can and still be humble.
If there was much more admiration than competition, people would flourish faster.
Sharing your talents is also nice, because a lot of people hide what they know from people who look up to them perhaps because they're scared with again, competition.
What are you working on right now?
I'm currently working on a project for a dating expert, Hayley Quinn. It's related to her rebranding her website and feel.
I'm also working on fleshing out more of my work on my portfolio.
We are all Slashies with multiple skills, which one do you wish you could do more often?
At this moment, I wish I could focus on Art/Creative Direction more.
What is frustrating you right now?
Honestly, it's this month. Every year this month, I always have to move houses because that's what life is when you're a student here in England! Everything starts to pile up on top of each other, and then there's attending university and starting all over again. As a growing creative, it takes a lot out of me to balance everything and do well at the same time.
What task keeps landing at the bottom of the To Do list?
Reading for university! I have the tendency to put my creative work first.
If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
I would hire an ambitious person like myself and allow them to show me what they can do to help me run my future business. It would be nice to work with someone who has got big dreams and not afraid to step up and make that happen.
Let's bring out the time machine. What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the 16/17 year old me and tell her that people who would try to bring her down don't actually matter. That she shouldn't let people affect her just because they don't agree with her choice of career. That everything will be according to plan because she dreamt wildly enough!
If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
Jennifer Puno! Seriously, when I landed on her page through Squarespace, I was instantly inspired. I watched her Instagram class video, and her vibe was just wonderful. We need more people like her!
Anyway, I would ask Jennifer, how did you start your business? Did you one day just decided, okay I have an idea I'll make it happen from here on? What was it like to work on Call of Duty? (I LOVE this game). How did you impress recruiters when you had an interview for that job? How do you win their hearts? and more importantly, how do you stay sane when juggling multiple projects at once?
Answer from Puno:
Holy cow! I love this internet rabbit hole and so glad you're here on ilovecreatives all the way from London! I love your energy and your photos are amazing. Seriously great stuff. I would love to answer your questions!
How did I start my business? It started with Daniel and I wanting to building something from beginning to end. We had a big list of ideas, prototyped the one that had the most features, and then when we went to Thailand, ended up deciding on building Map. I wouldn't say it's a business yet, as it's not really generating revenue, but we're still working on it.
With ilovecreatives, that was Eva and I having a conversation about all the silo conversations people have trying to help other get the word out about creative happenings. Building a newsletter was actually less time consuming than being a glorified operator. :P
Working on Call of Duty was amazing. This was my first real job as a UX Designer and Director. I ended up building a team of 10 super rad people. Seriously, our company culture was AWESOME. Working closely with the game developers was super fun too. They are incredibly passionate and are diehard about the game. They understand the economy of their fans, it really opened my eyes to community building, but I didn't know it yet.
Unfortunately, I didn't see eye to eye with a new manager they brought in and I felt like it was a good time for a life transition. That happens like every 3 years right?
How did you impress recruiters when you had an interview for that job? How do you win their hearts? I bring on the energy and enthusiasm in the interview. I think 50% of the job can be given to you by just being really fun to work with, hard-working, and passionate about the product. After interviewing so many people, those are the people that stick out.
This was my first UX job and I didn't have a portfolio, but I talked about past work and experiences that showed I was smart, resourceful, and creative.
How do you stay sane when juggling multiple projects at once? Figure out how to make enough to start hiring people to help you out. Honestly, without all the people that have worked with Map and ilovecreatives, I would probably have to drop one. People are shortcuts and there are so many awesome people to work with!
What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
I'm looking for an opportunity to train as an Art Director. I want to experience it first hand! And I'd also like to do more branding projects and editorial design.
What is your ideal client?
My ideal client would be someone who would trust my creative judgement. I've worked with many people with this approach and that has unleashed more of my creativity, which was a great feeling.
What is your rate?
Please email me to find out more. :)
How should someone approach you about working together?
Just drop me an email (firstname.lastname@example.com)! Tell me about yourself, how you envision your project and show me your Pinterest board for some inspiration. A meeting over a good cup of coffee in Central London would also be lovely!

Virginia. I think i got to see every game i cared about. Never have done the ppv thing. didnt think about the other sports. but if i cant get the channel then who cares?
only ATT Uverse has a contract with SECN. Not time warner, comcast, DTV, Dish, cox, charter, etc. http://mrsec.com/2014/02/directv-emails-sec-network-confirm-weve-telling-day-one/
Dish now on board. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-r...undbreaking-long-term-wide-ranging-agreement/
DirecTV will be on by summer, I predict, despite their comments that they will not offer it in the fall. Threatening not to air it is really their only bargaining chip with the SEC network to negotiate a price. They are not going to give up the Southeast to ATT and Dish.
I read today that SEC Network is bumping up their premiere date to August 14th. I assume their counter move to Directv.
As a dish user I'm excited. I honestly don't expect it to be a huge increase. I already subscribe to the Top 250 and expect it to just slide right in to what I'm already paying. Worse case it increases it by a buck and I might just drop the cheap encore movie channels that I run just to pick a random movie every now and then. Honestly, and I know this is getting into a completely different subject, I can't wait until every channel is offered alacarte over the internet. Or at the least if you can get networks of channels. I'd rather just give ESPN $6 a month to have access to all their channels and not have to buy a specific "package" from a provider.
not looking good.... "Slive told the AP that he's optimistic the SEC Network will add more carriers — currently only AT&T U-verse and Dish Network have signed on — but he also said, "whether it comes before or after we launch is another question." Slive does not subscribe to AT&T U-verse or Dish so: "I will have the distributor or distributors that carry the SEC Network, which for me will require a change." That doesn't sound too promising." http://mrsec.com/

Lawmakers and gallant rescuers: Kipling's other child heroes (Column: Bookends) (With Images) (10:32)

A diplomatic feud is brewing amid the already existing chaos at the Commonwealth Games, this time involving Prince Charles and Indian President Pratibha Patil.
With Queen Elizabeth II skipping the New Delhi Games — the first Commonwealth Games she's missed since 1966 — the prince is scheduled to speak on his mother's behalf at Sunday's opening ceremony. However, many Indians feel Patil should be the one to officially inaugurate the games, the first to be held in India and only the second in Asia.
"There is no row. Both the Prince of Wales and the president of India will have a prominent role in the opening ceremony in Delhi," the prince's office, Clarence House, said in a statement. "We cannot be specific about the choreography, but the prince will read out the Queen's baton message, ending by declaring the games open."
Patil's office did not want to comment on the matter.
"This is a diplomatic issue which will be decided on by the ministry of external affairs," the Indian president's office said.
The latest scandal to hit the Commonwealth Games comes as more and more athletes — 850 were expected Tuesday — are arriving in New Delhi and moving into the athletes' village, which was described last week as filthy and uninhabitable.
New Zealand, which had delayed its arrival in India until the village was cleaned up, sent its first athletes into their living quarters on Sunday night — two days later than planned.
"Obviously, there's been a bit of work go in over the past few days, but as far as we're concerned, it's fine," New Zealand lawn bowling coach Dave Edwards said. "There's a little bit of dust and some poor finishing with plaster and paint and things like that, but we're very happy with what we've got."
Some of the buildings still had leaks in them, and there was still water in some basements, according to New Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who took charge of the work at the athletes' village last week.
"They're keeping ahead of it. They've got a lot of cleaners and workers here, but I understand there are still a few countries experiencing problems," New Zealand chef de mission Dave Currie said.
The New Delhi police on Tuesday said that security forces have fully taken over the at the venues for the Commonwealth Games.
"(The) security situation is totally under control," New Delhi police commissioner Y.S. Dadwal said. "Everything is looked after."
Organizers were also working to shield visitors from one of India's most enduring problems: poverty. Many of this city's beggars have been arrested or forced from the streets, migrants have been rousted, and thousands of homes hidden from sight.
Another top athlete also withdrew from the games on Tuesday. Cypriot high jumper Kyriakos Iannou, who won the silver medal at last year's world championships in Berlin, pulled out of the competition "for strictly personal reasons," Cyprus Olympic Committee director Olga Piperidou said.
High-profile athletes including Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Jessica Ennis and Chris Hoy have already bowed out of the games for various reasons.
The local wildlife is even making its mark on the games as a 4-foot (1-meter) cobra was reportedly found at the tennis stadium. A member of the South African delegation found a snake in a room at the village.
Last week, a footbridge leading to the main stadium collapsed and injured several constructions workers, and two tourists were recently shot outside one of New Delhi's top attractions. Both incidents fueled speculation that the games would be scrapped or that countries would pull out. Some high-profile athletes withdrew due to health and safety concerns.
Australian netballer Catherine Cox said she and her teammates had been discussing whether the games would be canceled because of all the problems.
"We talked at home about it. We were wondering a while if it's going to go ahead," Cox said. "But we're just stoked to be here finally."
Some athletes were facing other problems.
The Indian shooting team, which won 27 medals at the last Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, had to practice with borrowed ammunition because their own stock had not yet arrived in New Delhi. And the host country's cycling team squabbled with the Sports Authority of India and reportedly threatened to go on strike because of a rule that makes athletes accountable for the loss or damage of imported bikes.
According to Indian cycling coach Chayan Chowdhury, things were resolved amicably when the cyclists discovered that they would not be forced to pay anything.
"The cyclists thought that if they sign, they have to pay money," Chowdhury told the Times of India newspaper. "But when they were told the cycles are fully insured, they decided to go ahead and accept the equipment."

Business Partners & friends from Indiana, sharing our beautiful condo's on the most beautiful beaches of Panama City Beach. Vacationed on PCB since childhood.
Susan Florida, Madison Partners, LLC. purchased this condo in 2012
We love all the amenities that Edgwater Beach Resort has to offer, along with the location on Panama City Beach! It's great to have our own restaurant and not miss a sunset! We appreciate Edgewater being gated community with 24 hour security. They utilize car passes and property tags for the safety of ALL owners and guest's vacationing at the resort.
The AMAZING sunsets, sitting on the balcony enjoying the sunrise while listening to the ocean waves.
I went with my boyfriend, my parents and younger brother. We loved every minute of our stay. The condo was very clean and roomy! The view was just beautiful, it was nice to wake up, have coffee out on the balcony and just listen to the waves! We were there while it was storming but the weather was still nice enough to go in the ocean or stay by the pool. We loved that you are literally right on the beach! We were able to walk up early in the morning and go for a walk right on the beach, it was perfect. I loved that you were close by to a bunch of shops so you didn't have to go far to shop. When it was raining out we still had plenty to around us that we were able to have fun. There are plenty of arcades for the little ones (or even adults too). They have a bowling ally right across the street with a small arcade too. It was a great stay and we were all sad to leave! We would definitely want to go back and stay again. Susan the woman who runs the condo was very helpful and made sure we had everything for the stay! We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who's looking for a nice relaxing vacation!
We just got back from a week of fun and sun. We took our granddaughters who were 8,10,12, and 15. The condo was exactly liked it looked on line. Was very clean and roomy.
Plenty of bath towels, kitchen well stocked with plates and pots and pans. The minor issues we had were taken care of quickly by Susan. The resort itself is clean and security is great. Remember to always wear your arm bands. The first night we walked across the street to shop and didn't wear our bands. They luckily let us in but from then on we wore them. I would stay at this condo again if we go back. Thanks Susan for letting us enjoy your condo.
The owner was very helpful and worked very well with what we needed The condo had everything you would need for a week long vacation
I can't say enough about our stay at Susan's condo. This condo has everything you could imagine and then some. My sisters, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews, great nephews and great nephews were in a condo two floors up and we are a cooking bunch. When we have these get together's we all have our specialties. Susan's kitchen is completely stocked with all the cooking utensils you could need. My family resides not extremely far from PC (about a two hour drive) but the rest came from Georgia. This time of the year, though cold, it is when the Gulf is at it's most pristine and the view from our place was incredible. Susan has comfortably decorated this condo and her cleaning company is great; it was immaculate. The beds are extremely comfy. If you come with children (we didn't have any in our condo) she even has beach toys! We didn't take advantage of the movies she also has available. This place is top notch! I am looking forward to doing this again! Thank you so much Susan!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful place! It's very nice, clean, and has everything you need. The resort is nice as well. Although we prepared most meals in, we did order a pizza from Sweet Basil's and it was delicious! I can see where the area would be very busy at certain times of the year, but when we visited, it was absolutely perfect! Thanks!
My family had a wonderful vacation at the Edgewater Resort in PCB. The condo owner was absolutely wonderful, a pleasure to do business with. The condo was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better owner/condo!

In first-of-its-kind legislation, the National Park Service and the Oglala Sioux have proposed the 133,000-acre South Unit of Badlands National Park be turned into a Tribal National Park. Can it be done?
Todd Graham, Jeremy Gingerich
Mon, 02/24/2014
The Park Service wants another large buffalo herd in the Great Plains, which would advance the Department of the Interior's Bison Conservation Initiative. In what may be a huge opportunity for the Oglala Sioux, a Tribal National Park is emerging in South Dakota—the first of its kind.

Reliability theory is a complex science related directly to engineering, science and economics. Reliability is theoretically defined as the probability of success or the frequency of failures. Reliability engineering deals with the estimation, prevention and management of high levels of lifetime engineering uncertainty and risks of failure. At present, not only engineers and scientist but also government leaders are concerned to increase the reliability of manufactured goods. We at one of the best universities in Jaipur, JK Lakshmipat university believe that failure prediction can be improved if reliability modeling is integrated in the field of Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, Computer Science engineering and many more. In order to solve many of engineering problems those arise in reliability theory, the methods of probability theory has been used. Reliability theory introduces quantitative indices of quality of production. Reliability engineering has both Continue reading
