the problem is with the AM/PM,
I assume it is a locale setting,
this is messing up a proc I am working on

This will be set at the Windows Server level, not the SQL Server level.Go to Control Panel of each server and check there

thanks Kev I understand that ,
I need to be able to tell what it is so I can build a check into the t-sql when the proc is runningi need the date so I can perform date/time functions on it
Jun 24, 2011 at 02:21 AM Gergav33
Then you would have to build sql to check every possible format of date and time. This sounds more like you should be doing this kind of thing in SSIS - I'm sure there you could query the properties of a file to determine the creation date/time - a lot easier

The short date format set on the machine can be tested - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241671 for some more info on the registry setting. You can see how to read registry values at http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/T-SQL+Aids/31071/

Michael Sacasas, "Violence and Technology"
There is this well known line from Wittgenstein's Tractatus that reads, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." There is much wisdom in this, especially when one extends its meaning beyond what Wittgenstein intended (so far as I understand what he intended). We all know very well that words often fail us when we are confronted with unbearable sorrow or unmitigated joy. In the aftermath of the horror in Newtown, Connecticut, then, what could one say? Everything else seemed trivial.
I first heard of the shooting when I logged on to Twitter to post some frivolous comment, and, of course, I did not follow through. However, I then felt the need to post something — something appropriate, something with sufficient gravitas. But I asked myself why? Why should I feel the need post anything? To what end? So that others may note that I responded to the tragedy with just the right measure of grace and seriousness? Or to self-righteously admonish others, implicitly of course, about their own failure to respond as I deemed appropriate.
When we become accustomed to living and thinking in public, the value of unseen action and unshared thoughts is eclipsed. "I should be silent," a part of us may acknowledge, but then in response, a less circumspect voice within us wonders, "But how will anyone know that I am being silent? A hashtag perhaps, #silent?"
I felt just then, with particular force, the stunning degree of self-indulgence invited by social media. But then, of course, I had to reckon with the fact that the well of self-indulgence tapped by social media springs from no other source but my self.

OMG Im dying to see more plot holes from GG writers.
I certainly think they managed to destroy Dan in any way this season. Therefore the only thing I had envisionned for the end of GG was Nate with Serena(or Nate with Jenny :D ) , Chuck with Blair, and Dan as a homeless, friendless person. But NO! After revealing he is GG, the writers go to extreme lengths to end the show with a Derena wedding with Rufly appart and a short sequence of a Chair kid...WTH
Merry Christmas Magnus. How is your girl? Has she been showing yet? Did she eat a bunch at the christmas party?
The ending was creepy and didnt make any sense...
lol I dont understand why the chair fans were so pleased with this ending. Basically what the writers just told us is : Hey this show is not about Blair or Serena (as the book were) or the UES life, its about Dan. All this show is about Dans journey to the top. its like WTH WTH. And Elise we thought Chuck hurting Blair physically or selling her for a hotel was badly written as well.
Pouhahahha Tibby you are hilarious. GG writers are full of BS. Too bad some fans who dont care about Dan thinks it is totally making sense if he is GG.
The episode was BS no matter who you were into to begin with. Anyone who says it was wonderful or that the past few seasons made sense is dellusionnal. They destroyed any ships that ever was to begin with...

Performance-enhanced doping: CsCl was employed as an additive to gold supported on an activated carbon (AC) catalyst, with the aim of mitigating deactivation of monometallic gold/AC caused mainly by the reduction of Au3+ at the reaction temperature of 180 °C (see figure). The prepared bimetallic AuCsI/AC turned out to be an ideal catalyst, with not simply slightly enhanced activity, but clearly improved stability.

hot water bottle without mess
By mariema
from north of Green Bay, WI
I plug this in as I am getting ready for bed and in 15 minutes it is ready. It gets quite warm, don't use it without the cover. Use it as you would any hot water bottle. It is not as pliable as I would like but I am mainly using it to warm cold hands and feet. It stays warm for a long time under the blanket, at least 5 hours. Best thing is no worries about leaks.

|Late Neogene exhumation and relief development of the Aar and Aiguilles Rouges massifs (Swiss Alps) from low-temperature thermochronology modeling and 4He/3He thermochronometry
|Pierre Valla1Peter Van Der Beek1D. L. ShusterJean Braun1F. HermanL. Tassan-Got2C. Gautheron3
|The late Neogene-Quaternary exhumation history of the European Alps is the subject of controversial findings and interpretations, with several thermochronological studies arguing for long-term steady state exhumation rates, while others have pointed to late Miocene-Pliocene exhumation pulses associated with tectonic and/or climatic changes. Here, we perform inverse thermal-kinematic modeling on dense thermochronological data sets combining apatite fission track (AFT) data from the literature and recently published apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He (AHe) data along the upper Rhône valley (Aar and Aiguilles Rouges massifs, Swiss Alps) in order to derive precise estimates on the denudation and relief history of this region. We then apply forward numerical modeling to interpret cooling paths quantified from apatite 4He/3He thermochronometry, in terms of denudation and relief-development scenarios. Our modeling results highlight the respective benefits of using AFT/AHe thermochronology data and 4He/3He thermochronometry for extracting quantitative denudation and relief information. Modeling results suggest a late Miocene exhumation pulse lasting until ∼8-10 Ma, consistent with recently proposed exhumation histories for other parts of the European Alps, followed by moderate (∼0.3-0.5 km Myr−1) denudation rates during the late Miocene/Pliocene. Both inverse modeling and 4He/3He data reveal that the late stage exhumation of the studied massifs can be explained by a significant increase (∼85-100%) in local topographic relief through efficient glacial valley carving. Modeling results quantitatively constrain Rhône valley carving to 1-1.5 km since ∼1 Ma. We postulate that recent relief development within this part of the Swiss Alps is climatically driven by the onset of major Alpine glaciations at the mid-Pleistocene climate transition.

Justine's Winning Return
Published January 17, 2011 12:00
MELBOURNE, Australia - Although some of them had to dig deep, the biggest names all made it through their first round matches at the Australian Open on Monday. One who had to dig particularly deep was Justine Henin, who was outplayed for most of a set and a half before wearing down Sania Mirza.
Henin, playing her first WTA match since Wimbledon last year and the No.11 seed here, missed out on set point in the first set and found herself down a set and pushed in the second by Mirza's big forehands and solid backhands; but she managed to wrestle control of the match and cruised to victory, 57 63 61.
"I knew it would be a tough match. She's not like other qualifiers. She has been in the Top 30 and can play very solid tennis," Henin said. "It wasn't the perfect situation for me to come into this tournament. There are many things we can talk about that were not good in my game, but my attitude was positive. I kept fighting even when I was feeling a bit down. Every point started to count a lot."
Henin missed all post-Wimbledon events last year due to an elbow injury. She commented on her fitness during post-match press: "Even if I know the problem is still there and is probably going to be there a little longer, I try to stay focused on my game and how I feel physically generally," she said. "I just try to forget about it. I know I'll have to do all the treatments but mentally it's important I put my mind somewhere else, on something very important - my game."
Henin was one of three former No.1 players taking the court on Day 1. Earlier in the day, Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova both won - read more about Williams' win and Sharapova's win. Current No.1 Caroline Wozniacki also moved through to the second round (read more about that match here).
No.6 seed Francesca Schiavone, No.8 seed Victoria Azarenka, No.9 seed Li Na and No.15 seed Marion Bartoli all moved ahead as well. Among the lower tier of seeds, No.17 seed Aravane Rezai and No.28 seed Daniela Hantuchova became the first seeded casualties, Rezai losing to Barbora Zahlavova Strycova and Hantuchova falling to Regina Kulikova.
In one of the more notable matches between unseeded players, Jelena Dokic - a former Top 5 player working her way back up the rankings, and a wildcard here - scored a 63 62 win over Zuzana Ondraskova. "I think I can still do a lot," said Dokic, who has been ranked as high as No.4 in her career. "I feel like I saved myself quite a few years. My motivation is back. I'm working really, really hard right now. I think I can play for five, six years minimum, that's the plan."

ETH3/482: Studies Evaluating Physician-to-Patient Tele-advice Given via Electronic Mails
G Eysenbach; TL Diepgen
Institute for Clinical Social Medicine, Heidelberg, Germany
ABSTRACTIntroduction: Patients increasingly use the Internet to solicit "tele-advice" via email from physicians. In two different studies we evaluated the quality of the advice given and determined the attitude of physicians and the ethical codes towards giving such tele-advice.
Methods: In both studies, we posed as a patient describing a medical problem (herpes zoster under immunosuppresion) in lay terms and asked physicians for their advice via email. In the first study, we contacted 17 professional cyberdocs who explicitly offered to give tele-advice. In the second study, we sent an "unsolicited" patient email to 58 physicians who did not offer tele-advice to evaluate their reaction. The second study was also complemented by a questionnaire asking them for their attitude towards answering medical questions via email. Finally, we conducted a review of the ethical, legal and professional codes in the US, Germany, Switzerland to investigate differences in the ethical assessment of giving advice via telecommunication in the absence of a pre-existing patient-physician relationship.
Results: From the 17 professional "cyberdocs", only 7 replied giving detailed advice, 2 of the responses were medically wrong. In the second study with the "unsolicited email", 29 (50%) responded to the fictitious patient request; 9 respondents (31%) refused to give advice without having seen the lesion, 27 (93%) recommended that the patient see a physician, and 17 (59%) explicitly mentioned the correct "diagnosis" in their reply. In response to the questionnaire, 8 (28%) of the 29 respondents said that they tended not to answer any patient e-mail, 7 (24%) said they usually reply with a standard e-mail message, and 7 (24%) said they answer each request individually. Slight differences in the professional codes between the US, Germany and Switzerland exist: While the US AMA ethical guidelines only warn to make a diagnosis and considers drug prescriptions unethical, the German code disallows any advice via mail or email in the absence of a physician-patient relationship.
Discussion: These pioneering studies give important hints on the possible economics, problems and ethics of patient-physician communication via email. Responses of physicians and Web masters to e-mail requests for medical advice vary as do approaches to handling unsolicited e-mail. International standards for physician response to unsolicited patient e-mail are needed.

Mega signs 500,000 members on first day, Dotcom claims
Jan 20: Kim Dotcom's new file sharing service, Mega, went live at 6.48am this morning, the to-the-minute anniversary of the raid on his mansion. NBR ONLINE will live blog the launch event from 7.30pm tonight, on this page, and provide intermittent updates through today. Mega's largest investor has been revealed as its CEO, New Zealander Tony Lentino. It is initially being hosted in Germany. Dotcom and his team have outlined the legal arguments they will use when Hollywood launches an expected counter-attack. The DOJ this week hinted at new charges if the Mega launch - which could be interpreted as a bail breach - went ahead. Mega offers 50GB of free online storage (more than the likes of Google Drive and Dropbox); paid options for storing more stuff (scroll down) and a unique one-click file enryption technology for that Swiss bank feel.
11pm: Despite ongoing overloading problems, Mega had 1 million visitors and signed 500,000 members duriing its first 14 hours of operation, Kim Dotcom said at a media launch at his rented Coatesville mansion tonight.
Dotcom is hoping to monetize the service by upselling some members to premium accounts. He's also no doubt looking for a ready-made audience for Megabox (a service that will sell content) and Megakey (which will offer said content free, if you're willing to install a plug that will display his ads in your browser as you generally surf the web). Megabox/Megakey will launch in around six months.
In keeping with the man himself, the event was equal parts cheesy and visionary. It included a helicopter and "FBI" agents rapelling down from the mansion roof. And with a row of mini-skirted guards in front of him, the accused pirate waxed lyrical about the role of Mega's encryption technology in an age of prying governments.
Some people say if you've done nothing illegal, what have you got to hide, Dotcom said. But many people hid many things, "even from their friends and family." Mega addressed a "human need for refuge from the community … and maintaining the balance of power between the individual and the state."
On a more meat and potatoes level, he said he wanted to build an econ-system of third-party privacy applications around Mega.
Dotcom said he hoped to one day list Mega on the NZX (for now, the company is majority-owned by a trust controlled by his wife).
ABOVE: Dotcom's mystery Mega investor and CEO Tony Lentino (with his sister Vinnie Hill). Lentino - definitely a beer straight from the bottle man - told Keallhauled he met Dotcom offline when "he came to drag one of his cars on my airstrip" (Lentino's 1000 acre property in Wellsford includes a airfield).
Dotcom included a greatest hits of his pre-emptive legal arguments for the lawyered-up Mega, and repeated his argument that Megaupload was a neutral conduit, and no more responsible for piracy than any other file sharing service. Google's YouTube has more pirated material today than Megaupload ever did, he claimed, while Google provided easy links to copyright-infringing content.
NZX-listed caft beer Moa got a look in with the catering. But this being a Kim Dotcom function, there were also bucket-sized cans of energy drink.
In hindsight, does he see that as a mistake?
No, said Dotcom. Cash incentives were only available to registered users - meaning someone could be more easily identified if they uploaded infringing material - and rewards were only given for traffic generated by a file of 100MB or less. That is, too small for most movies and TV series.
Dotcom's US lawyer Ira Rothken said Mega's copyright compliance and take-down policies exceeded legal requirements.
L-R: Lawyer Ira Rothken; Megaupload co-accused Bram van der Kolk and Mathias Ortmann. The pair had lead technical roles in Megaupload, as they do with Mega.
Dotcom was also asked about jobs for New Zealanders on Mega. He said Megaupload had employed 220. Some had got other jobs in the meantime, but he would offer any still in the job market a Mega role as his first priority. After that, locals would be first on his list.
Missing from all the hoopla was any mention of Dotcom's birthday as the event wound down close to midnight - as co-accused Mathias Ortmann and Bram van der Kolk reminded Keallhauled as they headed inside to celebrate.
The pair had been awake for 40 hours straight.
But Mega wasn't quite behaving. Strorage servers were having to be rebooted every hour in efforts to rebalance the hosting setup.
Having too many signing up at once is a good problem to have, but tomorrow it will definitely be back to work.

The FBI agents in the raid helicopter proved friendlier than those who stormed the grounds last year:
(via @timphin)
11am: NBR readers report best results trying to access the overloaded Mega via https://www.mega.co.nz - the "s" is the operative bit) rather than www.mega.co.nz (which your browser will likely default to if you just type mega.co.nz). Even on that first address, it's a little slow to load at least from NZ."
(The German-hosted, global service got an NZ-registered web address after Gabon - which yielded the alphabetically-pleasing Me.ga - suspended the company's domain, allegedly under US pressure.)
Kim Dotcom's colleague and co-accused Finn Batato told NBR ONLINE shortly before 11am, "We are literally overwhelmed by the popularity of the new Mega. Our tech team is sorting everything out. No major issues, just the usual challenges when you launch a big service like ours. Currently approximately 1200 users are signing up per minute. It is a huge load."
Who knew the FBI has so many agents?
Jan 20, 9am: Kim Dotcom's new file sharing service Mega.co.nz is inaccessible. On Twitter, Kim Dotcom claims the service, hosted by Cogent in Germany gained 100,000 registered users in its first hour (Kim later updated the figure to 250,000 shortly after 9am), but then became overloaded by "huge demand". The site has been simply not loading for NBR since at least 8.30am. Dotcom says it is running at maximum capacity and the Mega team is working on balancing the services.
Site is still overloaded. Massive demand. Incredible. I am so happy. Thank you for using #Mega.— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) January 19, 2013
Most of those who had an early look at the new online file-sharing service yesterday praised its 50GB free storay (scroll down for paid options), simple interface and unique one-click enryption feature.
But it also drew a jab from Torrent Freak for its surprisingly illiberal, law enforcement-friendly privacy policy, and the amount of data it collects about users (read: Mega Launches: Brilliantly Secure, But Not Anonymous).
The policy includes these sections:
We keep the following personal information:
- When a user signs up for particular services on our website they may need to give us the details required in our registration form and keep that information up to date;
- Communication logs, traffic data, site usage and other information related to us supplying the services (including for serving of advertising material on our site);
- Any personal information included in data uploaded to our system including but not limited to registration information.
We keep records of IP addresses used to access our services.
While this may not be a huge issue for the mainstream, privacy buffs usually prefer more anonymity. Currently dissidents and whistleblowers are not shielded from being exposed by Mega, if the authorities come knocking.
Mega won't hand personal information out to random strangers of course, but they will cooperate with law enforcement and comply with subpoenas as they should. In their privacy policy they state the following:
If we think it is necessary or we have to by law in any jurisdiction then we are entitled to give your information to the authorities.
We reserve the right to assist any law enforcement agency with investigations, including and limited to by way of disclosure of information to them or their agents. We also reserve the right to comply with any legal processes, including but not limited to subpoenas, search warrents [sic] and court orders.
And also this:
We can use any information we have about you as a customer relating to your creditworthiness and give that information to any other person for credit assessment and debt collection purposes.
Jan 19: Mega pricing revealed
Kim Dotcom's new file sharing service, Mega, was opened to trial users early this morning NZ time - just over 24 hours from its official launch at 6.48am on Sunday (the to-the-minute anniversary of last year's NZ police/FBI raid on Dotcom mansion).
As Dotcom tweeted earlier this week, standard accounts will be free, and offer 50GB of free online storage.
That's considerably more than the free allocation offered by rivals such as Dropbox (2GB), Apple's iCloud (5GB) Google Drive (5GB), and Microsoft's SkyDrive (7GB) - although all the services have a raft of promotions on the go, such as the free 50GB Dropbox accounts offered to buyers of Samsung smartphones.
Click screenshot to enlarge.
Today, Mega also published pricing for premium plans, charged in Euros: €9.99 ($NZ19.50) a month for 500GB is a keen price. Google Drive, for example, charges $US19.99 ($NZ23.90) a month for an upgrade to 400GB - or at a more modest level, $US2.50 ($NZ3.01) for a bump to 25GB.
The 50GB free and the paid options are generous. But then again they need to be to lure customers who will naturally be wary of the new service - and none more so than the 50 million-odd users of Megaupload, all of whom lost all their files when the service (hosted in Virginia) was shutdown by US authorities a year ago.
A Megabox/Megakey content service will follow in around six months.
Megabox will offer music artists (or artists plus their label) a cut of profits. The companion Megakey service will sell songs in the manner of iTunes, plus offer people the option to get free content if they accept a browser plug-in, then earn points by viewing ads. Dotcom said while Megakey would replace ads, it would only replace ads served by the largest sites.
Meanwhile, NBR is one of the early Mega trialists.
From a very quick play, the service seems as easy as advertised, with a drag-and-drop, browser-based interface:
The sites's mooted (HTML5-based) upload acceleration technology was not in evidence as files uploaded in a sluggish time similar to rivals - but that's always going to be the case for most NZ broadband home accounts, which are typically capped at 1Mbit/s upload speed.
FLASHBACK: Kim Dotcom in the dock with (L-R) co-accused Bram van der Kolk, Finn Batato, Mathias Ortmannn after their January 20, 2012 arrest on copyright infringement, money laundering, racketeering and other charges associated with Megaupload and its alleged $US175 million in illegal profits and divereted $500 million revenue from content providers. In part because of procedural and legal blunders by the DOJ, FBI, GCSB and NZ Police, the case to extradite the four to the US has seen a series of delays; the latest has pushed it back to August this year at the earliest.
Jan 18: This morning I was out at Dotcom Mansion, where Kim and the team were gearing up for the global launch of his new file sharing service, Mega.
READ ALSO: NZ company named as key Mega partner; Mega CEO named
Mega will go live at 6.48am Sunday, the to-the-minute anniversary of the police/FBI raid that saw Dotcom and colleagues Bram van der Kolk, Finn Batato, Mathias Ortmann on copyright infringement, money laundering, racketeering and other charges associated with Megaupload (if you missed it over the holidays the latest date for their much delayed extradition hearing is August next year).
Keep an eye on NBR, and in particular NBR.co.nz/mega over the weekend for more details of the new service, the benefactor behind it, and Kim's plan to win the hearts, and business, of the 50 million or so users who lost files in the Megaupload shutdown.
Meantime, here's a couple of behind-the-scenes pics from this morning (click any image to zoom):
ABOVE: A giant "Mega" sign being constructed on the mansion's front lawn.
The stage manager, from corporate events company Mad Ant, told me around 250 people were expected Sunday night (they'll range from reporters to people who have worked on the site to competition-winning members of the public).
The launch (7.30pm to 9.30pm Sunday night) will also be streamed over the web (the launch is global, but Mega.co.nz has the distinction of a Kiwi-registered domain. Gabon - which yielded the alphabetically-pleasing Me.ga - suspended the service's original domain, under alleged US pressure).
Around 150 people have been involved in the setup, he said, which includes the construction of a temporary outdoor stage.
A helicopter was onsite, but Kim (still under bail conditions, albeit pretty liberal ones these days) is not extending his transportation fleet. A security guard told me it was supplied for the event by the production company.
Half way through my interview, a surprise guest dropped by: Lowndes Jordan partner Rick Shera (pictured left with Dotcom's US attorney Ira Rothken). The Auckland intellectual property specialist has joined Dotcom's legal team, which now numbers 20, as the giant German lawyers-up ahead of the Mega launch, and anticipated movie and music company flak.
Lots of room for a stage when you have a golf-course sized backyard.
Check back in Saturday morning for more as Kim and his US lawyer are candid about the challenges facing the new venture - but also heartened by some surprising backers.
Comments and questions26
Sure that headline shouldn't read mega lunch?
Inspector Clouseau on secondment to the FBI is plotting his attendance as we speak. Incognito wink wink.
I thought the FBI was only supposed to concern themselves with domestic issues. The CIA on the other hand... Oh, and I'd just like to apologise to the rest of the world on behalf of the American people for our imposition of legal, societal and other hypocritical "norms" on the resat of the world. Does the US really need to intimidate Gambia or whatever? The police state has completely run amok, and what's worse is their enforcement of law has become completely subjective.
The wonderful thing about these Intellectual Property lawyers is that they blissfully forget when tax practitioners set up structures they think they are legal as well. And very well might be.
But then the law changes or "public policy" results in Courts deciding they are not. Good luck chaps.
The not-so-wonderful thing about IP lawyers is that they dream up these absurd copyright laws in the first place, then manage to convince their peers that I'll be a great thing (for them?). Next minute, they're enshrined in law (well, that's how NZ absurd copyright law first came into being).
Copyright law is perhaps the most insidious, complex and least understood law with regards to IP ownership throughout the world, and is a serious impedient to economic growth. Lawyers love it, which is precisely why it should be struck from the statute books everywhere.
Actually, copyright is not complex. It works like this. Some things other people own and sell you a license to use. If you start manufacturing your licensed copy illegally then that is theft and you get prosecuted. It's an old-fashioned view of ownership which many Gen Y people don't understand today, especially around music and videos. Old fashioned is not wrong, though. Gravity is old fashioned.
I was very closely associated with a copyright action (but neither as a plaintiff or defendant), that languished before the NZ Courts for approximately 10 years. Not only do I have a unique insight into the complexity of copyright law, I also have a unique insight into shortcomings of the Courts in hearing such matters, and the significant economic cost and collateral damage the Courts can cause, when they get it wrong. There seems to be some parallels between Dotcom's case and the one in which I was associated where 1) The Plaintiffs case was almost entirely fabricated. 2) The Plaintiff used his high public profile and connections with the Police, to attempt to intimidate people associated with the defendant 3) The Plaintiff successfully used the Court as a mechanism to threaten/ward-off, legitimate market competitors for a period of about x 10 years, pending a substantive trial into the matter. The matter never went to trial and it wasn't until about another x 4 years later, that an individual with no knowledge of the matter (and who had not sighted one page, of the thousands of pages of evidence), actually established copyright ownership, all within about 15minutes of pointed questioning. As it turned out, it was neither the plaintiff or, the defendant, but another party entirely who owned the copyright.
The answer to all the Dotcom what-ifs.To secure long-lasting loyalty from big and small noting Kiwis. A few free ice creams.
Uploads haven't been working all day as far as I can tell ... no more upload, just Mega.
Hello all, the site is not loading at all. Is it server overload or the domain being different issues?
Let me know if Mega Insta reseller is genuine.
TUCK, TUCK, TUCK. I want my godam Mega dangit!!! What is going on, comonnnnnnnnn!!! Mega, Mega, Mega. I want my Mega, dangit!
The popularity does not surprise me at all.
The chance to have the use of other people's property for free has always been popular.
Witness the popularity of politicians who promise to take from the winners and give to the losers.
Is the challenge that we face with IP really that different to the challenges around competing claims to real estate that lead to the Torrens system?
What if we started a central register for copyright holders to register their files?
What if there were three or four basic bundles of rights of freehold/leasehold/unit titles in the land context? These could be assigned to each file.
What if these could be easily embodied and implemented by new file extensions that were otherwise a mirror of their parent file type ie an fmp3 might be a "free" mp3.
What if we could come up with a datasearch protocol that could allow
copyright holders/compliance stakeholders to trawl file sharing sites electronically with the confidence of all stakeholders?
By allowing all parties to operate at their typical operating level of efficiency (ie, leveraging high-tech database and software algorithms) we could match a dispute resolution process to the scale and intensity of the realities of the file-sharing sector.
The third paragraph above should read: "What if there were three or four bundles of IP rights (compare freehold/leasehold/unit titles in the land context)"?
This is an argument for efficiency by simplifying the organisation and processes around IP rights. Not the reduction or undermining of those rights. I envisage those bundles being discovered by comparing the trends in IP licensees.
My concern is that fundamental to our current economic leverage is the principle that property rights are transferred by agreement.
I don't think we should institutionalise or legitimise systems for undermining this principle because it will have far-reaching consequences.
This business model actively undermines this because its owners know that its customers will use it to share files illegally.
I am keen for innovation and information sharing but not at the expense of the principle requiring agreement to transfer property rights.
Consider the consequences if we allowed real estate or consumer goods to be transferred against suppliers' will? Much of our efficiency and leverage would be undermined and lost.
The potential for a central register supported by a high-tech database and search algorithms is it would allow either the state or the market to require/pressure businesses like this to check or allow others to check their customers uploads against this database of rights.
Brands could be established that embody certain levels of compliance: ie, similar to the branding around digital certificates.
The rest of the world's IT journalists are already calling it Mega-Fail. Meanwhile, the brown-nosers here keep sucking up to fatty. Maybe they're hoping for an invite to the next party?
Strewth, you must read the wrong articles or more perhaps crawled through dozens of glowing reviews until you found one that satisfied your prejudice. The Mega launch is an unprecedented success and a couple of hay seeds who are struggling to understand the internet and its future are like you - the present-day dinosaurs.
Dozen's of glowing reviews? How do you get a glowing review when you can't get onto the thing, even to upload a 160byte txt file?
An unprecedented success? How can you claim that after 48 hours?
Lets start with the worlds best IT news site, The Register.
Computerworld[dot]com ignores it completely.
PCWorld says "Bug ridden, could be good one day"
So what we are left with is a bunch of brown-nosing from local journos (and people like you) who were fed canapes and champaign. Nice!
Oh, boo hoo - what a tosser.
So it seems you were one of the 500,000 sign-ups on the first day, an unprecedented number in the IT world and the scale of which is being broadcast on BBC and Sky news, etc, world wide and you are bitching you can't get your little photo up. Instead of chucking stones, chill out and enjoy history in the making. Fatty jokes on you.
Ah yes, a classic case of under-estimating requirements. Why it is that when Wheedle was (rightly) castigated all round for completely botching their launch with inadequate website/servers/bandwidth, you're busy toadying up for this, which is equally inept?
Sadly, we can't all be convicted frausters and petty small-minded gamers who launch DDOS attacks on websites after being kicked off for cheating. Boo, hoo, I feel so upset that I'm not like that. Nearly as sad as you are.
Comparing website visits is irrelevent considering Mega is website only, whereas I never go to the Dropbox website as I have their app on my iPhone and iPad and their desktop app on my laptop.
The genius of Dropbox is it just works. From what I have heard, Mega isn't working as it should.
You can change your password on Mega.co.nz at https://mega.co.nz/#account
You can't compare Dropbox with Mega, but I think Mega will soon introduce a similar app that will integrate into your desktop
The real question is what Hollywood will do. People are unlikely to use Dropbox for sharing illegal files, it's been made for teams / businesses. Yes, there will be people who will be abuse it, but only a small percentage compared to Mega.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- This weekend marks a big step for the sign language program at the University of Louisville.
The university will recognize the program's first 10 graduates in a ceremony on Friday, before morning commencement on Saturday.
U of L says it started its American Sign Language Interpreting Studies Program leading to a bachelor's degree in 2010 to help provide access and equality for people who are deaf and hard of hearing. The university says the U.S. Labor Department projected in 2007 that employment of interpreters would increase 24 percent during the next decade.
More than 50 U of L students are majoring in the sign language program, which is part of the classical and modern languages department in the College of Arts and Sciences.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The deadline is December 21st to apply for one of the most challenging jobs in Wisconsin – running the state's largest public university campus.
David Ward is in his second and final year as the interim chancellor at UW-Madison – a job he also held for 8 years in the 1990's. And a wide mix of leaders is expected to be on the application list.
Later this week, the UW Board of Regents will consider a possible pay raise for the next president. Ward now makes $437,000 a year – and the Regents will consider an increase in the pay range to between $426,000 and $522,000.
Molly Corbett Broad of the American Council on Education says people are generally nominated for such posts – and those who apply themselves might not have much of a chance.
The Council also says there's an 8 in 10 chance that the next Madison chancellor will come from the academic spectrum, based on who's running other U.S colleges.
A 25-member search committee will narrow the field to about five finalists by late February. The new chancellor is expected to be named in April, with a starting date of next July.
The previous chancellor, Biddy Martin, blamed a lack of autonomy and intense political battles for her decision to leave after just 3 years. She became the president of the prestigious and private Amherst College in Massachusetts.
Ward has seemed to have quieted down the political rhetoric about the UW – but then again, politicians have been awash in other emotional issues, like the fallout from the limits on public union bargaining.

1 Upper James St., W1F 9DF
Long gone are the days when Morin Randall and Cavenur Aubin stocked their butcher shop on Soho's Brewer Street. Today you will find an interior that makes use of antique fixtures and fittings and a lot of green tiles. This is a quality fish restaurant meets the Soho bar world; and the disco ball in the centre of the room is a nod to its evening uses.
The high stools aren't particularly comfortable, so we suggest ordering light. But if you are up for a large meal to share, go for The Aubin Special. Expect to get your fill of shellfish and other underwater delights for £12-£30. Usually a bottle of Gavi de Gavi or Reisling is a good choice, costing £34.50 and £32.50 respectively. Order broad and treat it like mezze for the best experience.
As the evening progresses the music downstairs turns up an the lights go down. Conversationists would do well to move on at this point as the tiled walls do little to soften the sound of House music.

SPOKANE, WASH. -- The mother of a Spokane homicide suspect told KREM 2 News that an enchilada recipe helps prove her son had no motive in a fatal shooting.
Detectives believe Joshua Tillery, 33, shot Devon Mack in the head at a Spokane home Friday, May 3th. Police found and questioned one person of interest, Tara Radar. Tillery is still on the loose.
Tillery's family said he has battled drug addiction for years. His mother, Tracey Tillery, spoke to KREM 2 News over the phone on Tuesday. She said her son has had a troubled past but is not a murderer.
"My son called me for my enchilada recipe that day. I gave it to him. He said 'okay mom. I'm going to go get the stuff to make it.' That's what kind of person he was," said Tillery.
Court documents stated that Josh Tillery arrived at the house near Princeton and Lincoln carrying groceries shortly before Mack was killed. Major Crime's detectives believe Tillery shot Mack in the head inside the house.
Yet, Tillery's mom said there is no way that's what happened.
"He is not a murderer, he is not, I need him to come forward so he can explain what happened," said Tillery.
She said the whole thing was an accident and the gun went off in a struggle. Tillery said her son is not turning himself in because he's terrified of the police.
"I know he's very scared. He's never hurt anybody, ever," added Tillery.

I've regularly blog about patent trolls harassing startups and impeding innovation, the experiences of immigrant founders, and the battle for a free internet. While I'm fortunate to have this blog, and other writing opportunities as a platform to give voice to these stories, I also realize that to really have a meaningful impact, we need the startup community to be involved in government.
That's where Engine Advocacy comes in. A few months ago, I joined the Advisory Board of Engine to lend my support to an organization that is doing amazing work for the startup ecosystem. We're trying to create a startup community that can mobilize to make the government listen and understand the issues that have a unique impact on our community.
Here's an example of great work that Engine has done: During the fight against SOPA/PIPA last year it seemed to a lot of outsiders that the internet community's reaction happened overnight. What many people don't know is that there were hundreds of organizations and businesses working together for months to make that one-day blackout so impactful. Engine connected 15,000 calls from individuals to their Senators that day. The sheer volume of calls shut down the Senate switchboard, twice.
Engine is always monitoring the issues, doing great research, keeping members informed so that we can identify any threats early, and respond as a community. There are many ways that startups can get involved, perhaps the simplest being just keeping up-to-speed on tech policy.
At the end of this month, Engine is bringing startups to Washington, D.C. to talk to lawmakers about issues that are really important to the startup community — issues like immigration, software patent reform, and keeping the internet free and open. You can get involved by becoming an Engine member today. Go to D.C. with them. Send them your stories.
Ultimately, we're not just Silicon Valley, or Boulder., or any other geographically-defined tech scene. We're a powerful community that is creating jobs and improving the economy — basically, doing all of those things that Senators and Members of Congress talk about making happen. It's time they listened to us. Let's make the startup community a stronger voice in Washington.
I thought this was a powerful and clever video about the risks to the free and open Internet. It's worth a watch with an appropriate cynical and concerned view.
I was happy to see Google launch their Take Action site last week about a Free and Open Internet. I'm a supporter and strongly encourage your support as well.
Vint Cerf (one of the actual creators of the Internet) talks more about the need to keep the Internet free and open.

This is a post by Dave Jilk, a long time friend, business partner, and CEO of Standing Cloud. While the words are his, I agree 100% with everything he is saying here. I continue to be stunned and amazed by both the behavior of our government around this and the behavior of "us" (companies and individuals) around their data given our government's behavior. But Dave's point is not only around the actions of government, but the broader risks that exist in the context of multi-tenant services that I don't think we are spending enough time thinking or talking about.
While I was in Iceland a few weeks ago, there was a set of discussions driven by Brad Burnham of Union Square Ventures about trying to make Iceland and "Internet Neutrality Zone" similar to Switzerland and banking. While I have no idea if this is feasible, the need for it seems to be increasing on a regular basis.
I encourage you to read Dave's post below carefully. While neither of us are endorsing or defending Megaupload, it's pretty clear that the second order impact and unintended consequences around situations like the government takedown of it have wide ranging consequences for all of us. And – it's not just the government, but mother nature and humans.
Suppose you live in an apartment building, and one day the federal government swoops in and takes control over the building, preventing you from entering or retrieving any of your belongings. They allege that the landlord was guilty of running a child prostitution ring in the building and, while you are not accused of any crime, they will not give you access to your property. They suggest that you sue the landlord to get your property back, even though the landlord no longer controls the property.
This seems like a fairly obvious violation of your rights, and it is unlikely that the government would be able to maintain this position for long. Yet this is exactly what it is doing in the Megaupload case, and in relation to the rather lesser crime of copyright infringement. Somehow – perhaps because of the pernicious influence of large media companies on the government's activities – rights to your digital data are taking a backseat to any and all attempts to enforce the copyright laws. This is what the online community was trying to prevent with its opposition to SOPA/PIPA, and the government seems to have elected to implement a de facto SOPA by simply trampling on the Constitution.
While I could rant further about the government's egregious behavior, let's talk about the practical implications of this situation. The primary implication is that there is a new risk to your data and your operations when you use multi-tenant online services. Such risks have always existed: if you do not have both an offsite backup of your data and a way to use that backup then any number of black swan events could disrupt your operations in dramatic ways. Earthquakes, wars, power brownouts, asteroids, human errors, cascading network failures – yes, it reads like the local evening news, and though any one situation is unlikely, the aggregate likelihood that something can go wrong is high enough that you need to consider it and deal with it.
What this particular case illustrates is that a company that provides your online service is a single point of failure. In other words, simply offering multiple data centers, or replicating data in multiple locations, does not mitigate all the risks, because there are risks that affect entire companies. I have never believed that "availability zones" or other such intra-provider approaches completely mitigate risk, and the infamous Amazon Web Services outage of Spring 2011 demonstrated that quite clearly (i.e., cascading effects crossed their availability zones). The Megaupload situation is an example of a non-technical company-wide effect. Other non-technical company-wide effects might be illiquidity, acquisition by one of your competitors, or changes in strategy that do not include the service you use.
So again, while this is a striking and unfortunate illustration, the risk it poses is not fundamentally new. You need to have an offsite backup of your data and a way to use that backup. The situation where the failure to do this is most prevalent is in multi-tenant, shared-everything SaaS, such as Salesforce.com and NetSuite. While these are honorable companies unlikely to be involved in federal data confiscations, they are still subject to all the other risks, including company-wide risks. With these services, off-site backups are awkward at best, and more importantly, there is no software available to which you could restore the backup and run it. In essence, you would have to engage in a data conversion project to move to a new provider, and this could take weeks or more. Can you afford to be without your CRM or ERP system for weeks? By the way, I think there are steps these companies could take to mitigate this risk for you, but they will only do it if they get enough pressure from customers. Alternatively, you could build (or an entrepreneurial company could provide) conversion routines that bring your data up and running in another provider or software system fairly quickly. This would have to be tested in advance.
Another approach – the one Standing Cloud enables – is to use software that is automatically deployed and managed in the infrastructure cloud, but is separate for each customer; and further, it is backed up on another cloud provider or other location. In this scenario, there is no single point of failure or company failure. If the provider of the software has a problem, it doesn't matter because you are running it yourself. If the cloud provider has a problem, Standing Cloud has your backups and can re-deploy the application in another location. If Standing Cloud has a problem, you can have the cloud provider reset the password for your virtual server and access it that way.
As long as governments violate rights, mother nature wreaks havoc, and humans make errors, you need to deal with these issues. Make sure you have an offsite backup of your data and a way to use that backup.
I believe that Senator Mark Udall is doing a superb job for Colorado. I'd like to encourage you to support Mark's re-election campaign by joining me for an event at BMOCA in Boulder on June 17th. I'm co-hosting the event with a bunch of folks who have been very involved in the Boulder startup community, including Dennis Arfmann, Libby Cook, Howard Diamond, Brad Feld, Jim Franklin, Marc Graboyes, Don Hazell, David Huberman, Roger Koenig, Nancy Pierce, Jason Mendelson, Bill Mooz, Michael Platt, Beau and Lucy Stark, Phil Weiser, and Joe Zell. Please come join us for a fun evening of discussion, networking, and a chance to talk to Mark about what's on your mind.
I've been a supporter of Mark's for many years and have always been blown away by his willingness to engage thoughtful in any issue he is presented with. Most recently, Mark took a leadership role in defeating SOPA/PIPA and was one of the first Senators to come out publicly against PIPA. During this process, Mark and his staff put real effort into understanding the issues and, rather than sitting on the sidelines and seeing what would happen, leaned in, took a stand, and had a big impact helping shift the tide in the Senate against PIPA.
I believe the Boulder startup community is extremely lucky to have Mark Udall as one of our Senators. I don't often make political appeals on this blog, but in this case I feel that it's critical that we continue to have intelligent, thoughtful, and independently minded representatives who are willing to actually understand what is going on with issues, rather than succumb to lobbying pressures. Mark is one of the good guys – let's make sure he knows we support him.
I'll be at the BMOCA event all evening so it's a chance to spend some time with me also if you'd like. I'll make sure I'm available to anyone who shows up about anything that's on your mind. So join me on June 17th to support Senator Mark Udall.
I spent all day Sunday at Silicon Flatirons' Digital Broadband Migration Conference. This is a key national conference held in Boulder at the intersection of technology and public policy with a particular focus on the Internet. This year's conference subtitle was "The Challenges of Internet Law and Governance."
I was pondering something all morning that I couldn't quite put my finger on. My close friend Phil Weiser (who is now the Dean of the CU Law School and hosts the conference) kicked it off and then handed things over to Vint Cerf (now at Google and one of the original architects of the Internet). A great panel full of engineers titled Tech Tutorial Backdrop: An All IP Network and Its Policy Implications came next, followed by a talk from Colorado Senator Michael Bennet.
I'm a supporter of Michael's and even though he originally co-sponsored PIPA, he eventually understood that it was flawed legislation and got behind the effort to oppose it. As a co-sponsor he had plenty of influence in the background on the process and I'm glad that he spent the time to listen to the tech community, understand why it was bad legislation, and take action. It was great to see him at this particular conference given its national perpective on a key intersection of technology and policy.
After Michael came a panel I was on titled The Digital Broadband Migration in Perspective. David Cohen (EVP of Comcast), Larissa Herda (CEO of tw telecom inc.), and I were the loud mouths on this one. David and I had very different perspectives on many things which reached a head when he asked what my reaction to all of the major TV and cable channels blacking out for three hours and putting up messages that said "this is what TV would be like without SOPA/PIPA" (basically – the opposite of the Internet blackout that occurred on January 18th). While he asserted this would be an abuse of corporate power and responsibility, implying that the Internet companies participating in the Internet blackout where behaving inappropriately, my response was that "it would be fucking awesome – they should do whatever they want – and better yet no college kid in the world would notice." There was plenty more in that vein, but this was tame compared to what came next.
The panel after lunch was a debrief on what just happened with SOPA/PIPA. Mark Lemley (Stanford Law Professor) and Gigi Sohn (President of Public Knowledge) explained things from an anti-SOPA/PIPA perspective; Jonathan Taplin (Annenberg Innovation Lab, University of Southern California) and Michael Fricklas (General Counsel of Viacom) took a pro-SOPA/PIPA perspective, and Michael Gallagher (CEO of Entertainment Software Association) and Judge Stephen Williams (U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit) took a third perspective that I couldn't quite parse. After everyone got a chance to give a 7 – 13 minute presentation, the conversation degenerated quickly into a very polarized argument where, in my opinion, facts were left at the doorstep by several of the participants. As the fact vs. fiction dynamic escalated, emotions ran hot and the discourse degenerated to a point of near uselessness. With every moment, the conversation became even more polarized, even though the anti-SOPA/PIPA folks would say things like I'm not going to defend SOPA/PIPA as it was bad legislation, we need to solve the problem of … in reaction to the pro-SOPA/PIPA folks saying If you assert that there are only 50 bad sites that represent 80% of the illegal content in the world, and we already have tools too take those sites down, what exactly are you talking about. While there were hugs and handshakes after the panel ended, it definitely felt like there was plenty of grinfucking going around.
After this panel I ducked out for an hour to go meet Julius Genachowski (chairman of the FCC). We've crossed paths a few times but never spent any thoughtful time together. We had a nice 30 minute meeting where we talked about the dynamics going on at the conference and in Washington DC. He gave me one phrase which caused me to stop, ponder it for a minute, and respond with "that's exactly right." He said:
"What you are observing is the difference between compromise and problem solving."
My brain is an engineers brain. I'm focused on learning and solving problems. Over the past few years I've been completely baffled by my experience interacting with politicians and their staffers. When I present a solution to a problem (e.g. the Startup Visa) I immediately watch a negotiation begin to ensue. Three years later, even non-controversial, obviously beneficial things like Startup Visa are still stuck in a discussion.
When I talked to folks about how bad the SOPA/PIPA legislation was, they would respond "what's the counter proposal?" My first response was usually "What do you mean? It's horrifyingly bad legislation that shouldn't even be considered." The response to this was "Yes, but if I am going reject it, I need to come with a counter-proposal."
Julius explained to me that Washington runs on a compromise mentality. You propose something and then begin negotiating from there. Innovative companies, where I spent almost all of my time, run on a problem solving mentality. You have a problem – you solve it. When I reflected on the panels during the day, the engineers and engineering heavy panels were problem solving and the policy / lawyer heavy panels were fighting over polarized positions which, if they converged, would be a convergence based on compromise rather than problem solving.
This generated a breakthrough insight for me. I've been increasing frustrated with politics and public policy discussions that I've been part of. It's because I'm in a problem solving mode. While some of the folks I'm interacting with are also in this mode (which causes me to stay engaged), many are in a compromise mode. They don't care whether or not we actually solve the root cause problem – they just have an agenda that they want to get into the mix legislatively and are negotiating for it with the goal of reaching a compromise.
We ended the day with a wonderful talk from Senator Mark Udall. I'm a huge fan of Mark's – he's one of the most thoughtful people in government I've gotten to interact with. Colorado is lucky to have him as he listens to his constituents here and acts on their behalf, rather than some other agenda. He discussed his views on innovation and PIPA (which he opposed early) and then made a strong appeal for the Startup Visa, increased STEM education, and a long term focus on innovation as the base for job creation. He then took another 90 minutes to meet with a smaller set of entrepreneurs and public policy folks from the conference to hear what was on their mind. Mark definitely was listening and trying to understand what issues he should be looking out for that had similar negative impacts like PIPA.
We need a lot more problem solvers like Mark in the mix, especially in positions of power in government. And, the problem solvers should insist that the path is problem solving, not compromise.

It's a crime that allegedly happened 27 years ago, but a Henrico teacher has just now been arrested for it. 40-year-old Anthony Crowder was suspended without pay from Godwin High School. He remains in jail with two counts of aggravated sexual battery involving a child under 13 years old.
He's worked at HCPS since 2004. He taught science at Godwin. Before that, he taught at Rolfe Middle School.
According to court documents, it was a direct indictment by a grand jury - but take a look at the date of the alleged incident: June 1, 1986 through July 13, 1988. That means Crowder, who is 40 years old right now, was 12 or 13 years old at the time.
The case is 27 years old, and because Virginia does not have statute of limitations for felonies, Crowder can be prosecuted.
"Virginia is unusual," says NBC12 legal analyst Steve Benjamin, "This means somebody could be charged 30 years, 50 years for a crime they may not have even committed."
Police say the case involves boys in Crowder's family and it happened in Henrico but will not give any other details - including the alleged victims' ages. The reason as to why this case is just now coming to light has not been released.
"Typically, these old cases arise when an accuser decides, for whatever reason, that it's important to publicize whatever happened to them long ago," says Benjamin.
People in support of Crowder took to Twitter when the case was made public. The hashtag #FreeCrowder quickly became popular. One person wrote, "I already don't like school. Now that my favorite teacher is gone, I don't even want to step foot into Godwin."
Legal analysts believe we may not know why it took decades for this case to come forward until the trial. Crowder is from Essex.
Crowder's next court date is Friday, so a judge can confirm whether the teacher has an attorney.

text: Some Friday news out of the NFL as the Dallas Cowboys signed quarterback Tony Romo to a blockbuster six-year extension with the deal worth $108 million with $55 million guaranteed. In addition, NFL.com reported that the pact includes a $25 million signing bonus. So Romo receives more guaranteed money than the six-year, $120.6 million dollar contract that SuperBowl champion Joe Flacco recently signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The 32 year old Romo has just one postseason win in nine seasons in the league, all with the Cowboys.

The current chairman of North Carolina's regulatory body for telecommunications, electric and natural gas markets is Gov. Pat McCrory's choice to stay at that post for four more years.
McCrory announced Wednesday he was reappointing Ed Finley of Raleigh as chairman of the state Utilities Commission.
The attorney was first appointed to the commission by Gov. Mike Easley in 2007 and later became chairman. He was reappointed chairman by Gov. Beverly Perdue in 2009 through this June 30. The reappointment will keep him chairman until 2017.
The announcement comes the day after the General Assembly confirmed two new commission members - Rep. Jerry Dockham of Davidson County and James Patterson of Guilford County. Dockham will now step down from the General Assembly.

'SpotHoles:' Boston wants public's help identifying pesky potholes
March in is a time of reawakening for Boston's streets.
Joggers emerge to get in shape for summer, cyclists pull their bikes out of storage, and zealous St. Paddy's Parade goers take to the streets of Southie, so city officials thought it a good time to launch a new two-week campaign to make the roadways safer and smoother.
Boston residents are being asked to "SpotHoles" by reporting pot holes. Social media users can use the hashtag #spotholes when tweeting @NotifyBoston.
The new social media push comes as the Boston Public Works Department kicks off its annual push to fill the potholes created by the cold, snowy winter. Public Works crews will be on the streets daily, finding and filling the craters.
"Boston's residents deserve a smooth ride," Mayor Thomas M. Menino directs said in a statement. "Our city works best when everyone works together. With residents help we can identify and repair potholes more quickly than if Public Works did it alone. We encourage residents to report potholes using our Citizens Connect app, calling the Mayor's Hotline, or even tweeting @NotifyBoston with the hashtag #spotholes."
The Public Works Department fills over 19,000 potholes annually, but city officials said they are convinced there are more potholes out there that need filling.
The public can monitor the City's progress on the Boston@Work Tumblr. The site will feature a tally of potholes filled during the two week campaign, a map of all open and closed pothole cases, and pothole themed images and art.
In addition to Twitter, residents can also report potholes by: calling the mayor's 24-hour hotline at 617-635-4500 with the address of the pothole; submitting a photo with the Citizens Connect app which automatically locates the pothole; and filing a request on the city's website.
Commissioner of Public Works Joanne Massaro said filling potholes is the department's "most important task each spring."
"Our inspectors and patch crews work extraordinarily hard to repair our roads. Citizen reports aid our efforts tremendously, allowing us to fill potholes more quickly."
