Bill would move Vt. primary to early August
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is considering a bill that would move up the state's primary election to early August.
If passed by the full Legislature, the 2014 primary would be held on Aug. 5.
Historically, Vermont's primary was held in mid-September, but prior to the 2010 election the date was moved to late August to ensure the Secretary of State's office has time to produce general election ballots in time to meet federal deadlines, including sending absentee ballots to overseas service members.
The bill would also require town and city clerks to report primary and general election results the day of the election and it would move up the filing deadline for major-party candidates to mid-May rather than early June.
The bill is scheduled for debate in the Senate on Wednesday.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON Rutland Post 31 pitcher Andy Kenosh called it mojo.

An idea for the movie
Instead of having Revan having his mind wiped and going totally by the game, what if instead he knew he was Revan but for one reason or another, he changed his name, probably because he didn't agree with the Jedi and didn't want to attract attention. By the way, his name will be Corsen Varr.
So, have Revan make a new identity? Well, that wouldn't change the outcome of the story that much... It would be a little harder for Revan to gain his compaign's trust again.
That would suck. No offense, but it would.
I hate it when movie makers change things that are that important. Revan can't know he is Revan - he must think he is Corsen Varr.
Ok then, Revan will still have his mind wiped. Almost Christmas.
What movie? Is there a KOTOR movie being made? If so, are there any links to sites about it you guys could give me?
Revan Skywalker is trying to make a KotOR movie with some program that he got, can't remember what it is.
Ahh, okay thanks.
Go to Eovia.com and look in products for Carrarra 3D Basics 2.
Won't work... cause he won't be THAT WIMPY with his skillz.
That is (no offense intended) one of the worst ideas I have ever heard. No Sith Lord would ever do such a thing.
Have his memory wiped? Or create a new identity?
Create a new identity for himself. ED is right, Revan wouldn't hide from Malak - he would do everything he could to kill him.
If Revan did create his new identity, why? And how would you change things so that Revan could go light side? If hw decided to go into hiding, why go light side again> Why not stay a dark Jedi?
Ok, OK I get the point, he will still have his mind wiped.
how long do you think it will take you to make this 'movie' ? ?
Revan Skywalker,
You have several (4) threads about your movie project, in the intrest of keeping things orderly around here I locked two of them, being you are discussing ideas here I will leave this thread open, but let's not have any new threads about your project ok.
Believe me, this will be far easier for you to keep track of things too. ;)
Thanks, and I do wish you good luck with your movie. :D
No problem RedHawk.
Good luck with your making my brother just joking.:) good luck on the production i hope it turns out good, and if it is you can turn my fanfic into a movie:)
Oh yeah, and about that actual idea- ick. Just no. But everyone has already said that, haven't they? Oh well, good luck.
Edit: Locking this thread because the movie project is no more! :( Also too many KotOR Movie related threads. -RH

Low natural gas prices resulting from the US shale-gas boom are stimulating new investments in petrochemical plants there. "We're in talks with several companies," company president Toshikazu Tanaka told reporters. "The US is a very big market. We're interested."
By MARI IWATA
TOKYO -- Mitsui Chemicals is considering investing in the US
petrochemical business using cheap
natural gas there as a feedstock, the company's president
said Thursday.
"We're in talks with several companies," Toshikazu Tanaka
told reporters. "The US is a very big market. We're
Mr. Tanaka said the company hasn't started talking about any
concrete projects yet and declined to name
potential partners.
Low natural gas prices resulting from the US shale-gas boom
are stimulating new investments in petrochemical plants there.
In March, Royal Dutch Shell said it would build a $2 billion
petrochemical plant in Pennsylvania
near the Marcellus Shale formation and would use natural gas as
a primary feedstock.
Also in March, Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris said his
company, which processes around 850,000 bpd of oil equivalent
into plastics and other products, is focusing on increasing its
US presence due to the lower natural gas prices.
In July, Yoshimitsu Kobayashi, president of rival Mitsubishi
Chemical Holdings, said the company had been looking for a good
opportunity to build a factory in North America to take
advantage of the cheap natural gas.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Relaxation Techniques to Relieve Neuropathy Pain
Stress can make neuropathy pain worse, so it is important to learn to relax. Your breathing pattern is often affected by changes in emotions. That's why managing your breathing is an important tool for relaxation. By becoming familiar with your own breathing patterns, you can learn to control your breathing, stress level, and pain as well.
First, find a quiet location, a comfortable body position, and a good state of mind. Try to block out worries and distracting thoughts.
Relaxation techniques to help with diabetes nerve pain include:
- Rhythmic breathing: Take long, slow breaths. Inhale slowly, and then exhale slowly. Count slowly to five as you inhale. Then count slowly to five as you exhale. Pay attention to how your body naturally relaxes. This will help you relax even more.
- Deep breathing: Imagine a spot just below your navel. Breathe into that spot, filling the abdomen with air. Let the air fill you from the abdomen up, then let it out, like deflating a balloon.
- Visualized breathing: Find a comfortable place where you can close your eyes. Picture relaxation entering your body -- and tension leaving the body. Breathe deeply, but in a natural rhythm. Visualize the breath coming into your nostrils, going into your lungs. Picture it expanding your chest and abdomen. Then, visualize the breath going out the same way. Each time you exhale, imagine you are getting rid of a little more tension.
- Relax to music: Put on some music that lifts your mood and that you find soothing and calming. There are specially designed relaxation audio tapes or CDs that are perfect for this.
- Mental imagery relaxation: This is also called guided imagery. It is a form of "mental escape" in which you create calming, peaceful images in your mind. You also identify self-talk -- your thoughts about your illness -- and focus on positive thoughts and emotions instead.
Hypnosis to Relieve Diabetes Pain
Self-hypnosis is the path to training both mind and body to make a desired change such as controlling diabetes pain. It is a skill that must be learned from a trained therapist and involves focusing attention for a desired purpose. With practice, hypnotizing yourself can be easy. You focus your attention on an image that blocks the perception of pain -- and you feel less pain. Your subconscious has grabbed hold of that message, replaying it time and again. The mind has learned to control the body.
Scientists say hypnosis seems to block nerve pain receptors in the brain. Those receptors control sensations of pain, anxiety, and discomfort. Studies have shown that pain related to cancer, surgery, back injuries, and migraines responds well to hypnosis.

8:01 pm
>> host: the senior commissioner, commissioner mcdowell, i want to start with the topic of spectrum. robert caplin of the national association of broadcasters was quoted yesterday saying he thinks the current spectrum auction schedule is doomed to failure because there's too many issues to work out and because of the res, there's not enough interest by parties to participate in the auction. >> guest: first of all, thank you for having me back. it's great to be here, and what you're talking about the is incentive auction. so congress passed a law last year giving tv broadcasters a financial incentive to be used in the wireless broadband purposes. we at the fcc a busy to solicit public comment and analyze it for purposes of putting together what will be quite literally
8:02 pm
thee most complex spectrum auction in world history. i know it sounds like hyperbole, but it is the truth, and there's three components which i will get to in a minute. i expressed caution. it's not doom and gloom as you presented it, but caution in terms of when that will happen and how that happens. i'm not sure it will yield quite as much spectrum as was first advertised, some of the first chatter would yield 120 megahertz which is a lot. that was paired back to 80 megahertz because peek about about border issues with canada and mexico. then it was back to 60 megahertz. where? new york city? that's the equivalent of six tv stations -- well, six to sen, actually, going off the air and potential for channel sharing and all of that. that would take a lot of broadcasters in the major markets, but it is complex right
8:03 pm
in that we have to be careful. there's a lot of moving parts here, and there does not seem to be agreement among the comments parties among people who gave us thoughts and ideas regarding the proposals that we watched last year. the three segments are the reverse auction, how cheaply will a broadcaster give up spectrum for? the forward auction, how expensively will a wireless broadcaster pay for spectrum and money to go to the treasury to fund the nationwide public safety wireless network, and then there's the repacking aspect, so to stay on the air, where are they located on the dial, and where would the wirelessed bro casting companies be on the intiel, -- dial, and what interference concerns would there be? we have fabulous engineers at the fcc. we need more, by the way, those interested in an engineering job, sends in the applications. they are complex, should be
8:04 pm
driven by the data, and it could very well be that it takes longer than expected for the spectrum auction to happen. > well, commissioner, i would imagine a threshold issue is how do you entice broadcasters to participate? because they don't give up the airways, there's no airways to sell to the mobile carriers to the people who sell us our blackberries and smart phones. in the steps, what can be done to alaw the broadcasters' concerns? >> right. i'm the only person left in the commission who is a veteran of the two largest spectrum auctions in u.s. history, one in 2006 and one in 2008, and i learned a lot with those auctions, and one is to keep it as simple as you can. one question i have, and i have not drawn conclusions, but is whether or not the idea of combining that reverse auction i talked about with the forwards
8:05 pm
auction in a simultaneous way, is that overly complex and giving potential bidders and broadcasters enough data to make their decision? there are theories on both sides of that, but i think we need to think about do we keep that opaque black box, have a reverse and forward auction when the bidders are not sure what it is that's available to bid on, and then in the meantime, it's supposed to be a software put out for comment and public inspection that helps with the repacking program. after each bidding round, i've already probably lost you in terms of how complex it is, but keeping it simple is step one, and, step two, there's got to be a financial incementive for broadcasters to yield spectrum. we need it most in the larger, crowded city, and that's where there's more eyes looking at tv, and the more opportunity to make money if you're a broadcaster,
8:06 pm
so it's harder to entice them to yield. some will, indeed, but maybe not as many as we like. >> do we need a uniform price nationwide so airways in the midwest go for the same value in new york, or do we have different values in different markets? >> guest. you know, historically, different values in different markets is the way to go. you wouldn't get far, i don't think, maybe broadcasters in wyoming would love to get manhattan prices, but i'm not sure the folks in manhattan go for that because they think they were undercut by the subsidization with the folks in wyoming. historically, the best way we accomplish these spectrum auctions has been geographic markets by geographic market. >> host: commissioner, how many megahertz are you talking about without involving government run spectrum? >> we'll get to the spectrum and
8:07 pm
the question in a minute when we know what you are thinking there, so each tv station and it's poll to share 3 megahertz a piece. add up the six or three, it takes a lot to free up the spectrum to get to the 60 that was hoped for in chicago, manhattan, or l.a.. can you find, let's say 10, 15 # broadcasters or maybe more in the new york market to give up their spectrum, particularly to share with others? depending on how you use the math. what do you mean by "government run spectrum"? >> host: will government run spectrum will a part of the process? >> guest: late last year, there was a story about some nationwide government run, free wireless broadband network, maybe earlier this year, actually, that story was printed, and there was just no basis to that. i think people were confusing and conflating the idea of
8:08 pm
unlicensed spectrum. i've been a proponent of unlicensed uses of what we call the td white spaces, the unused tv channels in certain markets, and they are scratch spectrum if you will, and it's more ideal for low powered devices. i'm spectacle of a nationwide block of 30 megahertz, a big chunk of spectrum, in the country to be reserved for license use. the characteristics of that screen license exclusive use, license because you need large transmitters, you know, when you talk about big chunks of spectrum in large geographic markets, you talk about powerful transmissions that go a long distance, and that mean as lot of electricity behind it and big towers that requires a lot of capital. people only invest capital if it's an exclusive use license, so i'm skeptical of big blocks of spectrum, and it's destructive in a positive and
8:09 pm
constructive way in the economy and yield innovation that we can't even imagine right now, but narrower slices in smaller areas. >> host: back to tom shield of bloomberg news for more questions. >> thank you. it's an interesting con cement, you mentioned the big powerful transmitters to cover big blocks in big areas, but there's an al -- alternative vision, use smaller shrubbery to make it work where we have a lot of small wifi hot spots capable of carrying internet traffic, and these days, it's some of what was behind the report you mentioned earlier by nationwide free service, and whether anybody builds a network that thick and extensive is another question. there is the debate going on that you'll get to weigh in on which is when you design the auctions, how much of the air waves should be devoted to the
8:10 pm
unlicensed uses versus should it be carpet remnants or a bigger chunk? to the extent you devote those unclinessed uses, it's not sold to at&t, verizon, t-mobil, whoever are the competitors. a little bit of unlicensed use or a lot and see what might happen with it? >> guest: i think we have to auction as much as we can. i think if they have broadcasters giving up six megahertz, we should then auction that. it's not a zero-sum game, and your analogy was a good one. >> all right. >> guest: we have voted out an item having it done in the 5 megahertz range, a shorter range, propagation characteristics of the nature of that frequency, but also in the 600 area, we can have that 600 megahertz area as well, and 700
8:11 pm
hertz where the tvs operate. they have to yield the right of way to the license, and if you are having one company or a lot of company bill proprior tear networks in an unlicensed ban, there's some license somewhere that can override that. if you think back when you were a kid, you had a walkie-talkie that's unlicensed, and as a kid, you heard the neighbors' kids talking. or a baby monitor, that's unlicensed or kids who play pranks with garage door openers, walk in the neighbor's garage to open and close it in stuff as a prank. all that illustrates how chaotic it can be and how interference can result through unlicensing. that's why you need to be
8:12 pm
careful about how you approach it. a mix of as much licensing as you can, but in the gaps, there's a robust opportunity. it is exciting and can be a win-win. >> host: is that the general feeling at the fcc? >> guest: i think it's mixed feelings. i won't speak for the commissioners, although, i'd love to, they probably don't want me to. there's a difference of opinion on this one. >> host: another question on spectrum. >> when the incentive auction happens, it's one of the biggest opportunities in many years to trueness form the use of the airways from television to the mobile devices of which there's great demand. in that opportunity, should the fcc try to ensure the smaller companies have an opportunity to buy a sufficient amount of airways to ensure there's a competitive landscape, and here i'm asking whether it's just -- what should the fcc -- be frank about it, at&t and veer rison
8:13 pm
don't escape with the lion share of the airways because they have more money than anybody else. >> right. i think there's a way to give a home to small carriers, mid size companies, entrepreneurs, and large companies. with the 700 megahertz auction, part of the transition in the 2007-2009 time frame, and, actually, proposed a plan that would have dope just that, but the plan adopted was not to different from that, but you can have a home. where it's tricky is what conditions you place in the spectrum or what are the unintended consequences? there were conditions placed in the auction, the 700 auction, that drove large players into the spectrum block they thought others would want, and they were scared away by certain regulation. we don't want that to happen. i think you can have a place for -- and should have a place for smaller players, and i hope they will when they have the
8:14 pm
final word. >> host: you're watching the "communicators" on c-span, and the quest is republican commissioner robert mcdowell of the federal communications commission, our guest reporter, todd shields of policewomanberg. next topic. >> you've been on the commission of 2006, the chairman has been on since 2009. his term is up. yours is up next year. will there be turnover? >> guest: always expect turnover because we have staggered terms. the past six years have flown by quickly, and we shall see. you know, stay tuned. i'm asked this question every couple years, and we've been there seven years. inflexion points are like this, and i'm openly thinking about it, but we'll see. >> host: openly thinking about what? >> guest: what to do next. i thought about that several times, what's after the commission? as a limited government person, i don't think we should stay in the positions forever, but at the same time, i love my job,
8:15 pm
and that's part of what is keeping me here. we have a lot of important work to do. i have to balance the decisions. >> host: well, last week at the senate commerce committee, the chair, senator rockefeller, talked about violence in video games and wanted the fcc to have more control, further monitoring of violence in video games. what currently is the fcc's role when it comes to that, and what -- how do you foresee the role? >> guest: violence or violence in video games? >> host: violence in video games. >> guest: we have no role, no legal or statutory role. we can have a bully pulpit. i'm the father of three young children, and we deal with this in our house as well in types of content is streaming over the tv or video games or whatever, what do we feel as parents is the prompt thing for our children to watch? from a constitutional perspective, violence becomes sticky very quickly. what is violence? is a hockey game violent?
8:16 pm
is a cartoon violence? is the evening news violence? the answer could be yes to all of those. there's the first amendment issue there in terms of what can the government do. the fcc has no statutory authority to regulate violation, only indecency, and that's another standard, and that's only over the broadcast of tv and radio, not over cable, satellite, or the internet, so it's an ongoing issue. i know it's important to chairman rockefeller and important to me as a parent, but right now, the fcc actually has no legal or constitutional authority to act in this area. >> host: what if it did? >> guest: well, that's a big hypothetical, but we would have to have some direction from congress, and i don't know what that would be, and that would be assuming there's no system. that's a big assumption. >> host: todd? >> where does indecency stand in the wake of the supreme court decisions last summer which you sum them up for me, you're the lawyer, i'm not. they made it difficult, as i recall, for the fcc to proceed
8:17 pm
in the areas. >> guest: the court murkied up the waters for us. each time they declined to address the 1st amendment. we don't have a lot of guidance from the court as to whether things like fleeting expletives are constitutional or not, and whether or not they want to redefine the earlier standards and things of that nature, so it's helpful as a commission issue, the public notice for public comment on what standards should be. i think everyone would be better served if we had a defined standard going forward. i will say this, though, for a long time, we had about a million and a half indecency complaints pending at the commission. a lot were against satellite and cable tv channels and such, and those aren't enforceable, so the commission has been actually able to dismiss or process the lion share of thoughs who were
8:18 pm
done to about half a million to 1.5 million, an unwritten story, but i think the enforcement bureau gets a lot of credit for that. >> host: should cell phones be allowed to be unlocked by consumers? >> guest: i brought my prop. thank you for letting me use the prop. so what we have here is a cell phone, a smart phone packed full of intellectual property. we have to get beyond the initial headlines of the story, which is odd with the companies saying it's impossible for consumers to unlock the phones. you have patents, trademark registration, and hundreds, if not thousands, in just that device right there. i want to make sure whatever happens in the area that we continue to have robust, intellectual property protection, property rights protection, in that we don't undermind the freedom to contract.
8:19 pm
if consumers are informed and well educated to what their rights are, versus the rights of the device maker or carrier might be, then i think we'll have a better marketplace. going forward, i think we all have a role, that would be congress, federal trade commission, federal communications commissions, and others in terms of making sure we know exactly what we are talking about here, but we don't want to undermind the property rights and allow consumers to have the freedoms to contract with those carriers and be able to transfer their devices around once they own the device. they own the device, but not the copy right, but not all the intellectual property or the licenses to it. >> smart, the white house put out a statement a couple weeks ago saying they support unlocking of devices when you are not under contract. they don't say get your carrier contract and unlock the device the next day and walk from the contract. >> guest: exactly. a very important point. >> i think that's missed in the debate. unlock any time.
8:20 pm
well, no, if you have a considerate, that's a subsidy for the phone, and the idea is to prevent unlocking once the contract is finished once i understand that correctly. >> guest: you're right. i'm sure bloomberg reported that completely, but a lot of outlets didn't. we have image of consumers hauled off in cuffs because they trieded to open their phone. that's not happening. it's not going to happen. you're absolutely right. once you own something, or own the license to something, then you ought to be able to take it to your carrier of choice, and that's available now, by the way,. there's unlocking going on now, even before whatever the copyright office did. >> host: todd shields. >> talk about the itu and internet freedom. it's a topic you spent time on. >> guest: thank you. the union is an arm of the u.n., has a long history going back into the 19th century. there was a big treaty negotiation in dubai in december, this past december, where, for the first time, the
8:21 pm
itu claimed control over the operation content in economics of the internet through definition changes in the treaty, and it was a divided vote. about 40% of the countries that showed up for the vote did not sign on to the treaty. 55 countries did not plan on, 89 signed on to the treaty, and 49 countries didn't show up to the treaty negotiations. now, the countries have until january 1st of 20 # 15 to sign on. in the meantime, there's a bigger, really sort of constitutional convention that will go on in korea in no -- november of 2014. between now and then is a crucial time for the u.s. and foreign policy because there are steps in many international meetings across the globe that happen in 2014 that shape that treaty outcome.
8:22 pm
it's constitutional convention literally from the icu to elect a new secretary general. by rewriting the constitution, the countries that have been pushing for, literally international regulation of the internet, will be able to take all of their ideas a step further. they've been very patient incrementalists, very per sis tent over the years, and they will not quit until their goals are realized. it sounds like black helicopter conspiracy theory, but it's not as with evidence in dubai last december. i'm not optimistic. our state department and department of commerce do have a role here, and the good news here in the u.s. is that we're all unified. congress is unified, had a rare moment last year when there were house and senate resolutions that passed unanimously by both chambers. really, underscoring our country's view of internet freedom and why that's important for the future of the developing
8:23 pm
world, and that's what's heart breaking here. there's a lot of developing world nations that are signing on to this treaty that will actually undermind their economic future and political future, and it might be the regimes that are more author authoritarian and don't want the freedom of information and other political freedoms that follow behind an unfettered internet. that is what's motivating a lot of them. >> right. they want the ability to block traffic, if i understand it correctly, and, perhaps, the charge, also, part of the agenda? >> guest: yes. local state owned phone companies want to be able to charge websites for consumers accessing websites and want international political cover for having one-stop shopping or choke points, one point of failure or one point of choking for content, maybe under the guides of things like span or network congestion, things like that. they -- there will be always be a reason that seems innocuous, but it's
8:24 pm
actually much darker. >> host: if this passes and happens, what would -- what would be the result for the end user at home? >> guest: excellent question. again, throughout the developing world, it's it stumps the growth of the internet and throughout the world that signs up on this. if there's a partitioned internet with an iron curtain across it so to speak, the -- first of all, that's app engineering nightmare. the internet is a global network of networks without borders. various technology to transmit data. to answer directly, for consumers it creates uncertainty and raises costs. a lot of things that are free now, now may no longer be free because costs are raised. it could stop the growth of it. you know, what's hard to measure are innovations that never make it to market due to some sort of governmental action. you can't measure what never existed, and so that uncertainty
8:25 pm
alone, i think, drives up costs and creates chaos and a lot of engineering headaches. hopefully, you know, our country and others will stand strong, but what we really need to do is convince the developing world this really is not good for the human condition overall and for the development of their country. >> host: commissioner mcdowell, last week, senator bill nelson of florida called for more information, for the fcc to require more information in the disclose act and more for political backing information to be displayed on ads. what do you think about that? >> guest: so the disclose agent regarding the disclosure of donors to groups that air political ads of one form or another didn't pass. it's not the law of the land. there's an argument both from members of the house and senate that the act of 1994 gives us
8:26 pm
the authority to do this. sex 17 speaks to sponsorship idea and who pays for the ads or product mentioned on the air has to be revealed. it didn't con temperature plait that when written in 1934. looking into all of the donors and contributors to any group that may have directly or indirectly funded the ad, so, in shrt, we don't have the statutory authority to do this, and i don't think we're at the right place for the debate. first of all, the debate should happen in congress, and, second of all, there's a federal election commission that's about revealing transparency in political donors and the whole political campaign finance realm. that's the better place for this. >> host: todd shields, time for one or two more questions. >> another authority question, a long ago battle, the net neutrality battle where there's rules claiming to ensure that big companies don't interfere
8:27 pm
with web content into my house. that's been challenged in court. what happens if the court overturns the fcc? what happens if the court supports the fcc? where do we go with the issue? >> guest: excellent question. i descended to that on december 21st, 2010, i believe, the shortest day of the year in 2010, and -- >> the darkest day. >> guest: yes, the darkest day for the fcc in 2010. so the idea that interpret service providers in an anticompetitive way would interfere with consumers' internet traffic was at the heart of this. i argued it first of all there was no market study, and there's no problem to be solved. second of all, the fcc didn't have the statutory authority to do what it did. there was a ruling in april of 2010 where there was an -- a similar attempt where the court struck down what the fcc did and sent it back to explain
8:28 pm
itself better. with this one, the fcc tried to explain itself better, but i want consumers to know, should that ever happen, which is really hypothetical, that there are plenty of laws on the books, antitrust laws, consumer protection laws, the potential class action lawsuits with portion of interference with contract. there's a lot of ways to have a legal disincentive for internet service providers to do that, should they think it makes a good business case. >> in addition to the business incentives. >> with competition through wireless broadband and more and more consumers and vast majority of consumers having a choice of four wireless providers, and, plus, the unlicensed we talked about which mixes if up as well. i hope the fcc closes the title 2 docket to classify interpret access as a monopoly phone service under the 1934 # communications act. the internet operates completely
8:29 pm
differently from that. it's a bad idea and fuels the effort at the itu for there to be global regulation of the internet, and, ironically, some of the companies that push for net neutrality like google, they have thousands of miles of fiber and offer voice and video services. i described at&t, comcast, and verizon. some of the tech companies like like telecom companies meaning they are this close to be regulated globally as a moo notary public -- monopoly. if we do that in the united states, classify the service as monopoly phone service, it will be absolutely catastrophic for the interpret economy. >> host: unfortunately, we're out of time. commissioner, as always, appreciate you being on "the communicators," and todd shields, you and bloomberg as well. >> guest: thanks for having me.

Inside James Andrew Miller's black messenger bag was potential sports-world dynamite: the 770-page oral history of ESPN that he has written with Tom Shales.
Miller is on orders from his publisher, Little, Brown, not to show the book or quote from it. He was not handcuffed to the bag, but he was holding it quite snugly to his side.
''This is my only copy," Miller said, sitting in a coffee-shop booth last week in Manhattan. "I couldn't get another one to give to my mother for Mother's Day."
No advance copies were sent out, so those eligible to read "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" before its May 24 release — among them magazine editors vying to buy an excerpt — had to sign confidentiality agreements and read it in Little, Brown's office. GQ will publish an excerpt about Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick starting Monday on its website.
Maximum security has enabled Little, Brown to delay questions about the book's contents, like: Will it savage ESPN, its executives and its talent, causing recriminations and resignations? And will it have enough sleaze straight out of Bristol, Conn., to appeal to the dirt-loving online readers of the website Deadspin — and enough original reporting to present a tough, balanced, colorful examination of ESPN's route to becoming a sports and cultural leviathan?
''We could have filled every page with salacious details — every page," Miller said. "But that doesn't explain how ESPN got to be as big as it is. If there were 770 pages of sex, that would tell the sexual history of ESPN, and that might be a bigger best-seller."
There has been sexual misbehavior at ESPN, notably by Steve Phillips, Sean Salisbury and some executives. Tony Kornheiser was suspended for two weeks for mocking Hannah Storm's attire, which Miller considers a critical moment in ESPN's strategy to control its image by managing how its employees behave toward one another.
Nearly 4,000 people work for ESPN in Bristol. ESPN employees act badly just as people at large and small companies do. ESPN certainly waited too long to hold some people accountable for uncivil conduct at a company that Miller said had been run by a succession of six middle-age white men. We know what we know — and some of us care about what we know — because it is the mighty ESPN, which Miller said that his research proved was worth more than the NFL.
Miller is as enamored of the serious reporting as he is about the gossip, all of it gleaned from 560 interviews. He chuckles three times before relating an incident about a FedEx driver "who acted as the pimp to secretaries who were looking to pay for their coke habit," but also reveals how an ESPN executive tried to pull the WNBA off the air in a screaming argument with NBA Commissioner David Stern.
He is most proud, it seems, of the four months he reported on the 1998 deal that gave ESPN a full season of "Sunday Night Football" rights and the financial rationale to push its monthly subscriber fees to enormously high levels.
Miller said that Michael Eisner, the former head of the Walt Disney Co., ESPN's parent, told him that the 1998 NFL deal "was the most important thing in broadcasting since Bill Paley stole all of NBC's stars." Paley, who built CBS into the Tiffany Network, lured Jack Benny, Red Skelton and "Amos 'n' Andy," among others, from NBC in the 1940s.
If "Those Guys" aspires to be the definitive history of ESPN, Miller and Shales had to take its existence seriously but not soberly. Sports are entertaining, newsy and fun. But sports are big business, and ESPN dominates and even overwhelms the industry. I want the big yarn with the proper dosage of scandal (and the secret of Chris Berman's staying power).
Whatever its many excesses, ESPN is an amazing success story of empire building. Its ever-expanding matrix of television, radio, digital, film and print platforms goes beyond what any other media company has created.

Comments about Amana 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner:
Looks nice. Great idea. Doesn't work for long. Waste of money. Also, this machine is a lot to clean. Gets dusty. Dehumidifier never worked. I hate the throw such a giant machine to the landfill, but we are. Getting ceiling fans. All my Amana products break down after short usage. Shame.

Do not waste your money

The machine seemed to work fine in the year that we had it. But the next year we weren't as fortunate. Temperature reading changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit randomly. Would not go any lower that 88 degrees. It was horrible. It'll play with your mind. Will start at 89 then go down to 88 (after 30 mins) then jump up again smh. Ridiculous.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

easy to use & keep clean. Cools a large room well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Cools room but is overly loud, even on low setting.
By Babs908
from Kew Gardens Hills, NY
This unit is used in a 10 x 13 room. It cools the room quickly. It is very loud, even on the lowest setting.

It's perfect
By Cold at night
from NJ
I use this unit in my very large bedroom at night instead of keeping the central air on to cool the whole house. It keeps the bedroom cold and I usually end up lowering it or shutting it off during the night because I'm too cold. It may be a little noisy, but I find it soothing. I found that putting the unit on top of a table and off the ground keeps the air flowing better. The hose is flexible and the fitting into the unit and window is easy to install.

This unit will keep you up all night, it is that loud.
Not that great

I had a 12,000 BTU portable a/c before for my room, which did cool the room faster and better but the only problem I had with that was the compressor would freeze because the BTU was too high for the room, so I decided to go lower in BTU and get this 8,000 BTU for my room and the truth is that, it doesn't cool the room as well as the higher BTU portable a/c's, additionally, it stopped working in two weeks then I had to exchange it for a second one which I am currently using and its the same, it doesn't cool room fast enough or evenly.This portable a/c doesn't cool as well as the window unit, but it gets the temperature down. I ran the unit all night with a target temperature of 70 degrees (just to test it) and it never went below 75 degrees. Overall, hope Amana made better portable a/c's for cheaper prices. Additionally, P.C. Richards doesn't carry 9,000 BTU portable a/c by Amana, hope they will in the coming months before the summer is over.
Do not purchase
By LDP
from Nyc
We will have to buy another unit for our daughter's tiny nursery. Once it is on, It only cools where the fan is directed to, but somehow heats up the entire rest of the room. Maybe the exhaust pipe is not sufficient to carry out the hot air? We Actually have to open her room to cool it better once the machine is on. A colossal waste of money. Do not purchase.
leave it
By ken
from Jersey City, N. J.
Unit is not of any use to me. Wish I had looked this up before I purchased it. It cool very minimally, but does not do what it says 800 BTU for 256 sq ft, yeah right! Actually tried to look it up while in store, but couldn't get internet on phone (I even joked with sales person about them blocking the internet in the store).
Nice idea but too weak to cool tiny room
By Sweating in NYC
from new york, ny
I bought this product to cool a 10X10 room, not a large room by any means. The unit blows out cool (not cold) air but really only cools maybe 4-5 feet directly in front of it. It takes a long time for entire room cooling to take effect and even then its not by much. If I leave the machine on for 4-5 hours it will bring the temperature of the entire room down MAYBE 5 degrees but unfortunately it's never cooled the room more than 5 degrees no matter how long I have left it on. It is not energy effecient at all. During the summer months I will have it on for 10-12 hours a night and my monthly con ed bill will increase $140-$160. The machine makes noise but I wouldn't say it is loud by any means. It does need to be fairly close to a window to vent but i didn't find that very annoying. What is annoying is that the cord is not very long so finding a spot for the machine close to a window and close to electric can be difficult, especially in older buildings. It has wheels and is portable. I definetly would not recommend this product. For the money you pay it does not do even close to a good enough job.

Love is brewing at Vincent's popular coffee shop. As he pours his heart and soul into reopening his late wife's coffee shop, his customers are inspired to take a leap with their own journeys in love and lust. After watching from the sidelines for so long, will Vincent be able to move on and rediscover his own passion again as well?
Rocco Reed stars as a coffee shop owner mourning his recently deceased wife, Dana DeArmond, in this latest feature from Adam & Eve's Romantic Encounters line. Unhappily coupled customer Andy San Dimas finds herself drawn to the sulking, brooding Reed, who decides to give love a second chance. Things aren't as poignant or heartfelt as they should be performance-wise, and the editing is choppy as hell, but there's plenty of great fucking here that will please any couple looking for an evening's entertainment.
In a memory of Reed's, he and DeArmond have a good fuck in their brand-new coffee shop. Lily LaBeau and Danny Mountain are introduced to each other and they are on a bed with Mountain munching LaBeau' box in almost no time. LaBeau gets very well fucked by Mountain and gets her twat spread wide for the camera in cowgirl. Anthony Rosano cheats on girlfriend San Dimas with Alexis Texas in a rollicking couch vag fuck.
Reed slides off his wedding ring to slide his tongue into San Dimas' mouth and pussy. She rides his dick prettily in reverse cowgirl.

Dylan must have picked up a case of McEwan-itis while "writing" the lyrics for Modern Times.
Men marginalizing women, and then stealing their ideas? That has never happened before.....wait...wait...oh yeah, it happens ALL THE TIME.
I hope he pays for being so blatant.
Remember that there's really nothing new under the sun in the arts. Even the most inventive of artists are standing on the shoulders of others. If their ego doesn't let them admit it, well, what else is new.
One contemporary architect put it this way: Mediocre design "borrows" its ideas; good design "steals" its ideas. Perhaps McEwan.did a bit of both in his book. The identical phrasing was clearly borrowed. But it sounds like he might have stolen Andrews' art and put it to his own good use.
Who fucking cares? The ganked sentence is not going to make him ten million dollars. People should get over their pretentious selves.
What about the rest of the book? Let's judge that before judging the OMG SENTENCE HE TOOK FROM A PULP WRITER.
I'm gonna write a novel and quote Shakespeare in a paragraph. Hate me, Critics. Daddy needs some anti-love.
McEwan wrote a defense in The Guardian yesterday. It seems pretty clear that he merely used the book as a legimately cited information source.
What's wrong with being a pulp writer? Some of the greatest fiction started out as pulps.
