Portable electronic devices on planes
Media statement/Press Room, Berlaymont, Brussels
9 December 2013
Good morning everybody,
We all like to stay connected while we are travelling. But up to now the big difference between the train and the plane has been that portable electronic devices likes smartphones and tablets had to be switched off for much of the journey.
This is a safety issue. And safety always has to come first.
But I am pleased to tell you that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has reviewed the issue and today we are expanding the safe use of portable devices on board planes.
The first step will permit the use of all portable electronics in flight mode throughout the journey, from gate to gate.
The cabin crew will still ask you to pay attention when they make safety announcements and they will still ask you to stow heavy items such as large laptops. But now we expect most airlines to adapt their procedures so that you will be able to keep your smartphones, tablets, e-readers and MP3 players switched on in "flight mode" because they do not interfere with the aircraft's safety systems.
This is the first step. EASA is actively working on the next step, which concerns the use of portable electronics to connect with the network — be it mobile phoning or wi-fi. The research is making good progress and I expect to be able to announce an update next year.
One last point: on a very limited number of specially equipped European airlines, cell phones can already now be used for voice communication.
I have noticed that in the United States, cell phone use on one airline is restricted to silent operations — like texting and e-mail. I like the sound of that. I think our journeys should be peaceful as well as safe.
That will be up to individual airlines to decide. And I'm sure passengers will make their views known.

The Railway Man: Eric Lomax memoirs of being a Japanese-held POW during the war
RESENTMENT is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. These are the words of Nelson Mandela but could just as easily have been uttered by Eric Lomax whose extraordinary story of reconciliation and forgiveness is in cinemas, coincidentally just a week after the release of the Mandela film.
Based on his remarkable memoir, The Railway Man depicts Lomax's suffering as a prisoner of war at the hands of the Japanese while building the "Death Railway" from Thailand to Burma and the psychological scars that stayed with him into middle age.
Frank Cottrell Boyce, who co-wrote the screenplay with producer Andy Paterson, says: "The book is an astonishing memoir that twists around one horrible irony. As a boy Eric had been enthralled by the great steam trains that piled in and out of Edinburgh's Waverley Station. As a young soldier he saw his comrades worked to death and was himself tortured."
Captured in 1942 after the fall of Singapore (he was a Signals officer) Lomax did not endure years of incarceration like Mandela but his imprisonment arguably lasted even longer, for it was only in 1993 that Lomax finally came to terms with his ordeal and, specifically, his Japanese tormentor, after it had already cost him his first marriage and threatened his second to Patti Wallace; a nurse whom he had met, appropriately enough, on a train. They married in 1983. In the film Colin Firth is Lomax and Nicole Kidman plays Patti who gradually learns the truth about her husband's past and encourages him to confront it.
Lomax died in 2012 while the film was in post-production but Patti said: "The film is about what happens with battle stress if it is left untreated. It does not go away and it affects the families as well as the person involved."
Lomax was tortured by the Japanese after they found a radio set he had ingeniously constructed from bits of scrap to listen to morale-boosting news reports from home and pass on to his fellow PoWs. He and three others were lined up and beaten with pick-axe handles. Two died and Lomax was left with two broken arms and a broken nose, after which he was interrogated for days on end and waterboarded.
It was the fluting voice of Takashi Nagase, the weasel-like interpreter, that grated most and haunted his dreams in years to come. "He was centre stage in my memories. My private obsession. He stood in for all the worst horrors," wrote Lomax.
The healing process began when Patti encouraged her husband to seek help from the Medical Foundation For The Care Of Victims Of Torture. It was the first time he had talked of his wartime ordeal but it was not until Patti initiated contact with Nagase that the possibility of forgiveness became a reality.
Nagase had written a book, Crosses And Tigers, in which he recalled the torture of Lomax and expressed his deep sense of guilt and remorse. Indeed, he had dedicated his life after the war to atoning for his actions. He helped identify the graves of victims, devoted himself to charitable causes and opened a Buddhist temple at Kanchanaburi in Thailand where Lomax was held.
After reading the book Patti wrote to Nagase even though, like her husband, she was angry that he had felt himself "exonerated" for his part in Lomax's torture.
"I just thought this was absolutely shocking," says Patti. "This horrible little Japanese man saying he felt forgiven. The only person who could do that was Eric."
Nagase's heartfelt reply, however, moved Lomax and a reunion was arranged at the war museum in Kanchanaburi in March 1993, almost 50 years to the day after their last encounter.
In the film Lomax goes alone and is bent on revenge, even murder, but in reality he and Patti went together and he was already in a forgiving state of mind.
Lomax and Nagase met at the bridge on the River Kwai (originally known as the Mae Klong river but renamed after the popularity of David Lean's film). Nagase was hugely contrite: "He looked up at me, he was trembling, in tears, saying over and over: 'I am very, very sorry'," wrote Lomax.
After their third day together, Lomax gave Nagase a letter telling him he had his "total forgiveness". The pair maintained contact up until Nagase's death in 2011, the year before Lomax died. "We were heartbroken to lose him [Lomax]," says Cottrell Boyce who, along with Andy Paterson, had got to know him extremely well over the years and observed him change.
"When we first met him the book had not long been published," he says. "His historic meeting with Nagase was a recent event.
"As the years went by we saw him become something of a public figure, grow comfortable in that role, become more relaxed about talking about what had happened."
The screenwriter thinks it is probably for the best that Lomax never saw the finished film and relived his trauma. "Thinking about it now, it was probably a mercy," he says. "Eric Lomax's great achievement was to have survived the darkest place and to have left it behind. Why would he want to revisit that in Dolby Stereo and Technicolor? What could we add to what he already knew?
"His greatest victory was that he was able to shake off the dark shadows that had haunted him and to die with a heart full of friendship, love and steam trains."
One windy day during filming in Berwick-upon-Tweed, a wheelchair-bound Lomax was brought to the set from his nearby home to watch a scene being shot overlooking his beloved rail viaduct.
"The crew hoisted his wheelchair on to the location and navigated him through the tracks and wires and cranes," remembers Cottrell Boyce. "When we had settled him by the monitor he pointed to the dolly track on which the camera was mounted. 'I'd be fascinated to learn,' he said, 'what gauge that track is'. Going home afterwards, Eric said: 'This was one of the best days of my life'."

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) agreed to develop a new series of joint activities in Saudi Arabia. Proposed joint projects are the development of a "Waqf Fund" and the "100 Arabic Books on Conservation", aiming to strengthen IUCN's regional support to the environment in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world.
His Royal Highness Prince Turki of Saudi Arabia, President of the Presidency of Meteorology and the Environment (PME) welcomed the IUCN delegation led by Director General Achim Steiner in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia encouraged the director of IUCN's West/Central Asia and North Africa Regional Office, Dr. Odeh Al-Jayyousi to play a leading role in promoting a regional approach to conservation.
"The international community has so far paid little attention to some of the important conservation initiatives implemented in the Arab world during the past decade" said Achim Steiner. "Saudi Arabia is no exception and its commitment to protected areas, species reintroduction and marine conservation are noteworthy examples of this commitment".
During the two-day long visit PME and IUCN reviewed the long-standing collaboration on conservation and environment management. This had in recent years focused on conservation programmes under the auspices of the National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development. Prof. Dr Abdulaziz Abuzinada, General Secretary of the National Commission and former IUCN Vice President was also present at the meeting. The Kingdom of Saudi Arab joined IUCN in 1981 and has played an important role in establishing IUCN's presences in the WAME Region during this time.

Unfortunately, every other Badger is still on the board, and nobody really expects any of them to be drafted. Look for Mark Zalewski and John Stocco to sign free agent contracts with the team of their choosing, though. So, one guy drafted means that UW produced the same number of draft picks as UW-Whitewater; good luck to Derek Stanley in his career with the St. Louis Rams.
Speaking of the Browns, looks like Thomas will be blocking for the guy they passed over, the ostensible QB of the Future and the inevitable focus of breathless puff-pieces for years to come, Mr. Brady Quinn. He slipped all the way to #22, until finally the Browns traded up to take him off the board. Don't fall victim to the delusions that are running wild at Notre Dame blog the Blue-Gray Sky; worth a read, if only for gems like this:
The Browns got lucky, and anybody who tries to say that this was part of their "master plan" is kidding themselves. I realize Cleveland is now claiming that they were trying to get back in ahead of Miami to select Quinn, but that doesn't pass the smell test. When Miami goofed, that opened the door. Lucky for Cleveland.
They only got lucky from the standpoint that Miami appears to be the only franchise left in the NFL that believes that Joey Harrington is a great get. Of course, there are a lot of people out there that believe that Quinn has as much upside as Harrington does, hence his long wait in the Green Room on Saturday. What the Browns did was to take a calculated risk, knowing that there would be a chance to use the third pick on Thomas and pick up Quinn right around where he belonged.
That the Browns traded two picks, including their 1st rounder next year, could be significant. Brady, if he starts for the Browns, is controlling his own value -- but inversely so. The better the Browns do with Brady at the helm, the lower their first round pick next year, and the cheaper the cost of acquiring Brady in the first place. Weird.
All that says is that they're willing to give him a shot at being the franchise quarterback. And this isn't a question of finances or "cheapness" or what have you; what the Browns want to do is to win games, and if it does turn out that Quinn has the ability to lead an NFL team, that's just another hole they don't have to fill en route to, y'know, winning those games.
It was a perfect storm for Jamarcus. What other team in this draft would have taken him #1 overall? If the Raiders hadn't been picking first, Russell could have been the one "green-roomed" yesterday instead of Quinn.
I'm certain that this is based only on petty jealousy. Although, for the record, I don't see Russell doing much at the QB position in the NFL either.
Charlie's right. All Brady has to do to wash this day away is to strap it on and kick some ass. Time to walk the walk.
This is a tough thing to do even if you've walked the walk before. Considering Quinn hasn't, he might have some trouble.
Now, the genesis of this post isn't in good old-fashioned Notre Dame hating. Although I do agree with what Bret Bielema had to say about the Irish, my feelings for Notre Dame border on the tepid. It's great that they get all these pre-season accolades, that their quarterbacks are perennially overrated pretty boys, that they occasionally steal a win from Michigan but spend most of their time beating up on service acadamies and Syracuse and losing to the big boys, and that they go to a bowl game two tiers higher than they deserve and then -- never surprisingly -- they lose, and generally lose by at last two touchdowns (the Irish have lost nine straight, and only 2 losses have been by a margin of fewer than 14 points), but this is based in charitably correcting insanity.
BGS needs to loosen the faux gold helmet a little bit and breathe the same air the rest of us are. Brady Quinn doesn't win big games because he's not an outstanding quarterback.

Fox Hides Guest's Membership In Anti-Health Care Reform Group
Blog ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
Fox & Friends today interviewed a member of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) to attack the Affordable Care Act without disclosing his ties to the anti-health care group. NFIB member and small business owner Mike Paine appeared on the program to claim that the health care bill will hurt his business, an attack that has been repeated by other NFIB members.
During the interview, Fox & Friends co-host Dave Briggs asked Paine to explain, "[w]hy, in your opinion, does Obamacare hurt small businesses like yours?" Paine went on to talk about his uncertainty over the law and claimed he believed President Obama wants to get rid of employer-based health care:
At no point during the interview did Briggs mention that Paine was a member of the NFIB, a group that has spent millions opposing the health care reform law, even though the NFIB's Twitter account promoted his appearance on Thursday:
.@NFIB member Mike Paine of CT on @foxandfriends tomorrow morning to discuss how #Obamacare will affect his #smallbiz bit.ly/PiPHo2
-- NFIB (@NFIB) July 5, 2012
The NFIB has long been involved in the effort to overturn the Affordable Care Act. Salon.com's Alex Seitz-Weld noted that the NFIB is the lead plaintiff in one of the lawsuits against the law that went before the Supreme Court, and reported that the group's lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act "cost at least $2.9 million in 2010 alone." He also reported that:
The NFIB presents itself as the "nonpartisan" voice of small businesses, but liberal critics charge that, much like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the NFIB has become a partisan conservative attack dog.
The group has given vastly more to GOP candidates than to Democrats, with over 90 percent of its contributions going to Republicans for the past 15 years, on average. So far this year, they've given almost $300,000 to GOP candidates and just $3,500 to Democrats. Crossroads GPS, the 501(c)4 arm of Karl Rove's American Crossroads, also gave $3.7 million to the NFIB last year.
But Paine isn't the only small business owner affiliated with the NFIB that Fox has hosted to criticize health care reform, and it isn't the first time they failed to disclose the guest's NFIB membership.
The blog Balloon Juice pointed out that a small business owner named Joe Olivo recently appeared on NPR and NBC News to bash the Affordable Care Act - without his membership in the NFIB being disclosed. Olivo has also appeared several times on Fox to criticize the law:
Wow--two news organizations covering the same story scoured the nation for a random small business owner to comment on that story--and they both found the same one! How'd that happen? What are the odds?
Well, as it turns out, Joe Olivo of Perfect Printing turns up quite a bit in public discussions of this and other issues. Here he is testifying against the health care law before House and Senate committees in January 2011. Here he is on the Fox Business Network around the same time, discussing the same subject. Here he is a few days ago, also on Fox Business, talking to John Stossel about the law. Here he is discussing the same subject on a New Jersey Fox affiliate.
And here he is in July 2010 discussing small business hiring with Neil Cavuto on Fox News. Here he is opposing an increase in the minimum wage in an MSNBC debate a couple of weeks ago.
Go to many of these links and you find out something about Joe Olivo that NPR and NBC didn't tell you: he's a member of the National Federation of Independent Business. NFIB's site and YouTube page promote many of Olivo's public appearances. He was the subject of an NFIB "My Voice in Washington" online video in 2011.
A Nexis search shows that Joe Olivo has been hosted by Fox News and Fox Business six times since July 2010, and in those appearances he criticized health care reform and claimed it will hurt his business - without his membership in the NFIB being disclosed.
UPDATE: Balloon Juice notes that National Federation of Independent Business member Joe Olivo appeared on NPR again on Sunday -- and again, his affiliation with the NFIB was not disclosed:
He was being interviewed by Guy Raz on All Things Considered on the subject of a bill championed by Senator Tom Harkin that would raise the minimum wage. (Needless to say, Olivo's against the idea.)
No mention of his NFIB ties--none. And there's none in the audio version of the story. (Olivo comes in at about 7:06.)
What's odd is that the Olivo interview is followed by a chat with Bill Dunkelberg, NFIB's chief economist. He's ID'd as an NFIB guy. (He also thinks that maybe we shouldn't have a minimum wage at all.) But Olivo gets no such ID.

Two inmates charged with murder of 4 at a South Carolina prison, authorities say
Authorities charged Denver Simmons, 35, and Jacob Philip, 25, with 4 counts of murder each, according to a report
Authorities charged Denver Simmons, 35, and Jacob Philip, 25, with 4 counts of murder each, according to a report
Officials have charged two men for the murder of four of their fellow inmates at a South Carolina prison.
Authorities charged Denver Simmons, 35, and Jacob Philip, 25, with 4 counts of murder each, according to a report.
Department of Corrections Director Bryan Stirling said the inmates were found Friday about 10:35 a.m. in a dorm at Kirkland Correctional Institution in the capital of Columbia. Stirling did not say how they died or release any further information.
Friday afternoon, corrections officials identified the men as John King, 52, Jason Kelley, 35, William Scruggs, 44 and Jimmy Ham, 56.
King, Kelly and Scruggs all committed their crimes in the Upstate, according to state records. Ham committed his crime in Darlington County, records show.
State records show Simmons is serving a life sentence for two previous murders committed in Colleton County. Philip is also serving a left sentence for two previous murders in Berkeley County in 2013, according to state records.
The State Law Enforcement Division and Corrections police investigated this case.
Coroner Gary Watts confirmed he investigated four deaths at the facility, but wouldn't give any details about how the inmates died.
He did say that the deaths "don't appear to be natural."
Kirkland Correctional Institution is a level 3 prison built in 1975 that houses the maximum security unit that serves the entire state of South Carolina. The inmates housed in the unit are considered the most dangerous and violent offenders sentenced in the state. The prison processes nearly 15,000 offenders each year.
Also on the property is Kirkland Reception and Evaluation, which processes more than 15,000 inmates each year. Before male inmates 17 and older are assigned to a prison across the state, all start there. The facility receives, assesses and classifies every male inmate in the state who is sentenced to more than 91 days in prison.

Dear Friends,
Morey Goldstein, master musician, and my musical cohort since junior high school, is in a bad way. The brain tumor he was diagnosed with earlier this year has continued to grow despite an operation and radiation treatment. He is not expected to live through the year.
We are trying to raise some funds to help pay for Morey's home care.
Here is a link for those who care to donate online:
There will be a benefit / tribute concert to celebrate Morey's music on Sunday, May 4th from 3:00PM - 8:00PM at the Bay View Boat Club in San Francisco (489 Terry Francois Blvd, aka China Basin St. 415-495-9500. See http://bayviewboatclub.org for directions.)
Morey, saxophonist extraordinaire, keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, conceptualist, is one of the best musicians I have been privileged to play with in my life. We go back to the Woodland Junior High School Concert Band in East Meadow, Long Island, New York in the late 60's (Morey on clarinet, me on trumpet); the East Meadow High School Jazz Ensemble (Morey wrote and arranged two songs for the Jazz ensemble); The Nails (basement rock 'n' roll); and once we moved to California: It's Your Own Life (mostly Morey's originals); The Readymades (our foray into punk/new wave in 1977); Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra (Big Band soul); The Cel-Rays (early 60's-style girl group rock 'n' roll and instrumentals); Bing's Swingin' Thing (jazz and R & B) and numerous other musical projects.
Morey was in many bands without me over the years as well, most notably Big Bang Beat and Butch Whacks & the Glass Packs. Morey also scored some disco hits as songwriter and producer for Slyvester and Modern Rocketry and conceived and produced the Karen Carpenter Christmas Special Stage Show with his wife Katie Guthorn for many years.
The show on May 4th will feature music from many of the bands Morey has been in over the years. We've got some of the best Bay Area musicians participating so this should be one heck of a show. With any luck Morey will be able to attend. Morey is unable to speak or walk on his own at this point so we'll just have to see what his condition is like by the 4th. He still enjoys good company, good food, and good music, and there will be plenty of all three at this event.
Hope to see you at the Bay View Boat Club...

this link http://www.satriani.com/road/ for details on tickets

While I'm at it I should come up with an album title too! At the
moment, John Cuniberti and I are busy mixing the new tracks at The
Plant in Sausalito, and they sound amazing! Right across the hall
Journey has been recording a new record as well, so, it's been a cool
environment to work in; lots of creativity in the air... And, hearing
Neal Schon's guitar work drifting through the door and down the
hallway has been very inspiring!

Accounting for Success
By Bob Grimson '81
October 3, 2013
Honors continue to add up for Bradley's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the international honorary organization for financial information students and professionals.
In August, Bradley students Kristine Korwin '15 MSA '15, Amy Mentgen '15 MSA '15, Amy Zimmermann '15, Kara Dather '14 MSA '14, Mike Costello '15 MSA '15, and Anthony Isherwood '14 MSA '14 attended the organization's annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif., where the University's chapter was named one of 12 Gold Chapters in the world. The award is based on accomplishments and activities throughout the year. This honor is the highest a chapter can earn and the fourth such award for Bradley in the last five years.
"It is great to be rewarded for our chapter's continued focus on going above and beyond the classroom experience," Isherwood said. "The annual meeting connected students, professors, and professionals from around the world to learn from each other and create long-lasting friendships."
"It is important for students to participate in a professional organization," agreed chapter adviser Dr. Simon Petravick, department chairman and professor of accounting. "Beta Alpha Psi gives them a chance to get involved and speak at its programs."
Petravick also received his second Outstanding Faculty Adviser award. He mentioned the value of meeting and learning from other college students, as well as accounting professionals, at the event: "That allows them to bring back an idea or two every year that we can use."
After winning a regional competition earlier in the year to qualify, the Bradley group took part in the national finals of Beta Alpha Psi's Best Practices competition. The students also gave a presentation on chapter operations and participated in professional development events at the annual meeting. They joined 1,200 other financial information students for a community service day focused on literacy. Plus, there was time for relaxation as the group visited Disneyland.
"We're grateful for support from alumni and the University to allow students to participate and represent the school," Petravick said. "Our students have always been outstanding representatives of Bradley."
Beta Alpha Psi has more than 300 college and university chapters worldwide. The Bradley chapter has about 30 students and is open to junior, senior, and graduate accounting majors who meet grade point requirements.
