He says he retired from farming when he turned 65.
But Leroy Knifley, now 80, won't stay off his tractor long enough for anyone to believe him.
Leroy was named Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce's Agribusiness Person of the Year on May 9.
The annual tradition started in 1994, and each year, Taylor County Agriculture Advancement Council members select the recipient.
Taylor County's public library staff members want children to dig in - literally and figuratively.
The library will soon begin its annual summer reading program and a new program that will provide free meals to those 18 and younger.
This year's summer reading program is themed "Dig in to Reading." Events will feature programs about worms, caves and dinosaurs.
Summer reading will kick off with a registration event on Saturday, June 8, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the library.
The Tebbs Bend bridge will be moved and preserved, likely sometime next year.
Funding for a new bridge isn't firm yet, however, and it isn't known who will move the bridge.
At last Tuesday's regular Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers announced the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation has given the county permission to move the bridge to the nearby Tebbs Bend-Green River Nature Area.
It's been 25 years, but they haven't lost hope that one day his killer will be put in handcuffs.
And it's that hope that keeps them coming back to Campbellsville each year to remember him.
Those passing by Ransdell Chapel on the Campbellsville University campus last Wednesday might have seen a swarm of state and local law enforcement vehicles. But they weren't there to investigate a crime.
The officers were there to remember one of their own, an officer who was killed in the line of duty more than two decades ago.
Campbellsville Police have found a Campbellsville man reported missing early Friday, May 17, morning.
According to a police report, police were searching for George Maynard, a 68-year-old white male who is 5'11 and weighs 200 pounds.
Maynard was reported as last seen at his home on Pitman Avenue at about 1 a.m. He was found at about 7:30 a.m.
Though there wasn't much flying to be had, children still had their heads in the clouds on Saturday.
Taylor County Airport hosted its annual Airport Day, with games, food, miniature airplanes and pilots on standby in case the clouds cleared and they were given the all clear to offer plane rides.
The lawsuit claiming a Columbia company damaged a road while working in Taylor County has been dismissed.
The plaintiffs, Taylor County's magistrates, can file the claim again, however, should they choose to.
Taylor County Attorney John Bertram filed the suit on behalf of Taylor County Fiscal Court on Nov. 8, 2011, in Taylor Circuit Court. Windmill Mobile Home Center of Columbia is listed as the defendant.
Windmill Mobile Home does business in multiple counties, including Taylor, the complaint states.
The county will once again contribute $10,000 to renaissance efforts in the community for next fiscal year. That contribution, however, isn't finalized until magistrates give final approval to the county's 2013-2014 budget.
Downtown business owners came to Tuesday's regular meeting of the Taylor County Fiscal Court to ask that magistrates continue supporting them. This year's contribution to renaissance, which is also $10,000, was discussed at a meeting of the county's Budgets, Audits and Personnel Committee last month.
Children who play at Veterans Memorial Park playground will soon get a treat.
A new piece of playground equipment that can accommodate about 50 children will soon be installed there. And the equipment will be made entirely from recycled plastics.
Magistrates agreed to purchase the equipment on Tuesday night at their regular Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting.
Unseasonably cool temperatures and frequent, steady rainfall in recent weeks are taking their toll on area farmers anxious to finish spring planting.
In Taylor County, corn producers are especially suffering from unwanted precipitation. According to Pat Hardesty, Taylor County extension agent for agriculture and natural resources, at the end of last week, only 20 percent of the expected No. 2 yellow corn crop had been planted.

How it Works? Tourna-Grip outperforms all others grips on the market by absorbing sweat and feeling better when wet than any other. How? Because we make Tourna-Grip with care in the USA, the only racket grip made in the US.Using only the finest, highest quality materials available in the world.

Technical Abstract: Starch negatively affects the quantity and quality of raw sugar produced. Starch reduces crystallization and centrifugation rates, occludes into sucrose crystals, and impedes refinery decolorization processes. The problem of starch in sugarcane juice has been exacerbated by the widespread adoption of green cane harvesting and also, perhaps by the necessity to incorporate useful traits from wild Saccharum germplasm into cultivated sugarcane. Use of '-amylase to hydrolyze starch during processing should be viewed as a short-term solution as the enzyme is relatively expensive and not always efficient. Availability of sugarcane varieties low in starch content should present a more sustainable, long-term solution. This chapter highlights problems caused by starch during the processing of sugarcane, as well as presents data suggesting that it would be possible to deploy sugarcane varieties low in starch content.

Our Vision for 2015
No person with a developmental disability lives in poverty.
Many British Columbians with developmental disabilities live in poverty. Many are poor because they cannot find jobs, or can only find jobs that pay very low wages. Some people with disabilities are able to qualify for disability benefits provided by the provincial Ministry of Housing and Social Development (called Benefits for Persons with Disabilities, or PWD). But often, this isn't enough money to pay for basic things.
When someone does not have enough money, their health and well-being are affected. Being poor means living in poor housing, not being able to eat the proper foods, and often not getting the health and support services that they need. It often means not having opportunities to meet other people or participate in community life. Poverty often leads to poor health, social isolation, and homelessness. Read Inclusion BC's adequate income social policy here.
Photo above: Taken at the Inclusion BC, formerly BCACL, poverty forum in November, 2010. Participants discuss ways of addressing the persistent poverty faced by people with disabilities. The forum ended with a call for a poverty reduction strategy in B.C. Read more about the forum here.

February 11th, 2013 by Sharon | Comments Off | Filed in AnnouncementsNautical Mile Chili Cook-Off Results
January 29th, 2013 by Sharon | Comments Off | Filed in AnnouncementsThe Optimists Club of St. Clair Shores in conjunction with the Nautical Mile Merchants Association conducted the 13th Annual Nautical Mile Chili Cook-Off on January 25, 2013. The purpose of the Cook-Off was to provide an fun evening for everyone involved and to help raise funds to support Optimist projects for children in the community and to help promote activity on the Nautical Mile. By all measurements it was a very successful evening.
Twenty-eight chefs, including five restaurants, entered the competition with their own unique blend of chili. The contest categories included red meat, white meat, wild game and vegetarian. There was also separate competitions for Restaurants, Best Decorated, and President's, Mayor's and People's Choice awards.
An award was also presented for Best Chili Name and included entrants such as 11 Mile Inferno, Three Beer Chili, Voodoo Brew, Hot Romance to Warm the Chilliest Heart, Connection Concoction Re(a)d, and Renee's Rootin Tootin Red Chili.
For the first time in its 13 year history, there was also a separate competition established between the three St. Clair Shores School Districts. In addition to cash awards, the winning school district received the "Chili Bowl" traveling award to display in the school's trophy case.
The 1st Place Entries are as follows:
Best Restaurant: Blossom Heath's Crop Duster
Best Individual Red Meat: Dale Rosenquist's Gunsmoke-N-Honey

Nearly 300 people attended the Cook-Off which was held at Blossom Heath Inn, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The $7 admission fee included a taste of each chili entry with pop, beer and wine available at a nominal fee.

GOP tension emerges over SEC, CFTC merger idea
Republican lawmakers at the top of Congress's agriculture committees are bristling over a recommendation from their GOP colleagues that would do away with a key financial regulator.
A new report issued by Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee on Thursday suggested that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) streamline their operations, or potentially be combined into a single agency. The lawmakers behind the report, released Thursday, blasted the two regulators for failing to communicate before the collapse of the futures firm MF Global, previously headed by Jon Corzine.
That suggestion has sent top Republicans on the farming panels rushing to protect their turf, as any potential merging could mean they would lose jurisdiction over the CFTC, with much of the regulatory oversight falling to the banking panels.
"Instead of discussing a hypothetical merger of two longstanding agencies, a better use of everyone's time would be to ask why no one involved with the MF Global bankruptcy, specifically Jon Corzine, has yet to be held accountable," said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.). "Customers are still waiting on their money to be returned and have no idea if they will ever be made whole."
"It has been clear from the outset that Gov. Corzine was largely responsible for what happened at MF Global," he said in a statement. "I don't see how merging two regulators who regulate different aspects of our economy would have made any difference in Gov. Corzine's bad decisions or in preventing such a problem in the future."
Republican lawmakers behind the report, released Thursday, made no indication they were planning to immediately take up the cause of merging the two regulators. Instead, the idea of combining the two watchdogs was one of a series of recommendations and findings in the 100-page report. Nonetheless, it was clear some GOP lawmakers believe the current arrangement is inefficient at best.
"The apparent inability of these agencies to coordinate their regulatory oversight efforts or to share vital information with one another … compel[s] the subcommittee to recommend that Congress explore whether customers and investors would be better served if the SEC and the CFTC streamline their operations or merge into a single financial regulatory agency," the report stated.
The idea of merging the two regulators is not a new one, and cropped up during the original debate on Wall Street reform that led to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. The retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), a lead author on the law and the ranking member of the Financial Services Committee, has repeatedly said he would support the change.
However, he has also noted the political challenges surrounding such a change, since the current arrangement allows for both the financial and agriculture communities to have distinct regulators and accompanying oversight.

Few killers have terrorized more people than the Beltway Snipers.
The story of the murderous pair who got their start in Tacoma is now the subject of a feature film.
In October 2002, John Allen Muhammad and his young protégé, Lee Boyd Malvo, killed 10 randomly selected victims in the Washington, D.C. area. While authorities were erroneously searching for a white truck the killers were operating out of a blue Chevrolet Caprice they had modified into a mobile sniper's hide.
The film, "Blue Caprice," premiered last week at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It's a debut feature by New York-based French filmmaker Alexandre Moors, who was unavailable for an interview this week.
The movie begins on the Caribbean island of Antigua, where Muhammad met the teenaged Malvo. But it spends much of its time in Tacoma, according to Philip Cowan, the director of Tacoma's Grand Cinema. Cowan saw the film last week at Sundance.
"Tacoma is about a third of the movie, but not apparently (filmed) anywhere in Tacoma," Cowan said. "That was kind of disappointing to me."
Muhammad spent 17 years in the South Sound. He married for the second time, raised three children, started a business that failed, saw his second marriage crumble into divorce, kidnapped his children and acquired a Bushmaster rifle from a Tacoma gun shop.
"Blue Caprice" portrays Muhammad's grooming of Malvo in to a cold blooded killer – a soldier in the older man's vendetta on perceived injustices and the people who he felt had wronged him.
One of those people was Isa Nichols. She had taken the side of Muhammad's ex-wife in a child-custody dispute. After Muhammad brought Malvo back to Tacoma he had the younger man go to Nichols' East Side Tacoma house on Feb. 16, 2002, armed with a gun.
But Nichols' niece, Keenya Cook, 21, answered the door. Malvo killed her with a gunshot to the face. Malvo later testified it was Muhammad's way of testing him.
"Blue Caprice" portrays that killing and some of the sniper murders. It ends with their capture. Muhammad was executed in 2009 for his crimes; Malvo is serving a life sentence.
"It's a subtle movie," Cowan said. "It's not very violent."
The film stars Isaiah Washington ("Grey's Anatomy") as Muhammad and Tequan Richmond ("Everybody Hates Chris") as Malvo.
"Blue Caprice" generated a lot of buzz at Sundance. The Hollywood Reporter described the film as riveting and "a disturbing, masterfully controlled thriller." The New York Times called it "an exploration of power, madness and grotesque paternalism."
Cowan hopes to bring the film to Tacoma and hold post-screening discussions.
"It's part of Tacoma's history, even if it's not a positive history," he said.

Metro (design language)
Metro is an internal code name of a typography-based design language created by Microsoft, originally for use in Windows Phone. A key design principle of Metro is better focus on the content of applications, relying more on typography and less on graphics ("content before chrome"). Early uses of the Metro principles began as early as Microsoft Encarta 95 and MSN 2.0,[1][2] and later evolved into Windows Media Center and Zune.[3] Later the principles of Metro were included in Windows Phone, Microsoft's website, the Xbox 360 dashboard update, and Windows 8.[4]
Contents |
History [edit]
"Metro" is based on the design principles of classic Swiss graphic design. Early glimpses of this style could be seen in Windows Media Center for Windows XP Media Center Edition,[5] which favored text as the primary form of navigation. This interface carried over into later iterations of Media Center. In 2006, Zune refreshed its interface using these principles. Microsoft designers decided to redesign the interface and with more focus on clean typography and less on UI chrome.[6] These principles and the new Zune UI were carried over to Windows Phone (from which much was drawn for Windows 8). The Zune Desktop Client was also redesigned with an emphasis on typography and clean design that was different from the Zune's previous Portable Media Center based UI. Flat colored "live tiles" were introduced into the design language during the early Windows Phone's studies. Microsoft has begun integrating these elements of the design language into its other products, with direct influence being seen in newer versions of Windows Live Messenger, Live Mesh, and Windows 8.[4]
Principles [edit]
Microsoft's design team cites as an inspiration for the design language signs commonly found at public transport systems; for instance, those found on the King County Metro transit system,[7] which serves the greater Seattle area where Microsoft has its headquarters. The design language places emphasis on good typography and has large text that catches the eye. Microsoft sees the design language as "sleek, quick, modern" and a "refresh" from the icon-based interfaces of Windows, Android, and iOS.[8] All instances use fonts based on the Segoe font-family designed by Steve Matteson at Agfa Monotype and licensed to Microsoft. For the Zune, Microsoft created a custom version called Zegoe UI,[9] and for Windows Phone Microsoft created the "Segoe WP" font-family. The fonts mostly differ only in minor details. More obvious differences between Segoe UI and Segoe WP are apparent in their respective numerical characters. The Segoe UI in Windows 8 had obvious differences - similar to Segoe WP. Characters with notable typographic changes included 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, I, and Q.
Microsoft designed the design language specifically to consolidate groups of common tasks to speed up usage. It achieves this by excluding superfluous graphics and instead relying on the actual content to function as the main UI. The resulting interfaces favour larger hubs over smaller buttons and often feature laterally scrolling canvases. Page titles are usually large and consequently also take advantage of lateral scrolling.
Animation plays a large part. Microsoft recommends consistent acknowledgement of transitions, and user interactions (such as presses or swipes) by some form of natural animation or motion. This aims to give the user the impression of an "alive" and responsive UI with "an added sense of depth."[10][11]
Internally, Microsoft has compiled a list of principles considered core to the design language.[12]
Close to the official launch date of Windows 8 (October 26, 2012), as more developers and Microsoft partners started working on creating new Metro applications, many websites with resources related to this topic have been created, including Microsoft's UX guidelines for Windows Store Apps.
Response [edit]
Early response to Metro was generally positive. In a review of the Zune HD, Engadget said, "Microsoft continues its push towards big, big typography here, providing a sophisticated, neatly designed layout that's almost as functional as it is attractive."[13] CNET complimented the design language, saying, "it's a bit more daring and informal than the tight, sterile icon grids and Rolodex menus of the iPhone and iPod Touch."[14]
The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDEA) awarded Windows Phone, which uses the UI, the "People's Choice Design" gold award as well as the "Best in Show" award.[15] Isabel Ancona, the User Experience Consultant at IDEA, explained why Windows Phone won this award:[16]
The innovation here is the fluidity of experience and focus on the data, without using traditional user interface conventions of windows and frames. Data becomes the visual elements and controls. Simple gestures and transitions guide the user deeper into content. A truly elegant and unique experience.
On 25 August 2012, Peter Bright of Ars Technica reviewed the preview release of Windows 8, dedicating the first part of the review to a comparison between the Start screen of Windows 8 (which built upon Metro design language) and its previous version in Windows 7 and earlier. Recounting their pros and cons, Peter Bright concluded that the Start screen, though not devoid of problems, is a clear winner.[17]
Legal issues [edit]
In August 2012, rumors began circulating that one of Microsoft's retail partners, German company Metro AG, had threatened legal action against the software giant for infringing on the "Metro" trademark. A memo was sent out to developers and Microsoft employees to stop using the term "Metro" until a replacement term is established or the legal case is settled.[18] Microsoft is temporarily referring to the design language as Modern UI.[19] On August 9, 2012, it emerged that Microsoft was planning to use the term "Windows 8" to replace Metro in consumer marketing materials. The "Modern UI" term appears to be intended for developers who plan to build software based on Redmond's new design principles.[20]
Currently, the term "Microsoft design language" is used on MSDN documentation when referring to the design language (since September 2012).[21][22][23][24] Furthermore, in Microsoft's Build 2012 developer conference, the company also uses the "Microsoft design language" name.[25][26]

Rita Rudner
Pint-size comedian renders big laughs on Strip.
Sun File Photo
It's no secret that Rita Rudner has her own headlining comedy act on the Strip, but it might come as a surprise that Rudner was a Broadway dancer, in the not so distant past. Rudner hung up her dancing shoes at 25 though and began entertaining audiences as well as making them laugh, if only for a few seconds. Rudner pokes fun at the stereotypes that bring women together as well as the quirks about her own life that are anything but stereotypical.
Besides her stand up routine, Rudner has written 3 books, co-written multiple scripts with her husband and starred in her very own syndicated television show, Ask Rita.
Rudner's show will be dark on January 21, 28 and February 14, 21 and 28.

"...putting together the resources which can handle pushing an update to millions of laptops at the same time might still be a challenge."
This is getting ridiculous. One of the main problems in the poor areas where the OLPC will be used is that there is NO COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE WHATSOEVER: no telephone, no satellital communication, no cell phones, NOTHING. So millions of laptops running in poor areas from third world countries will not try to contact a cluster of high-performance servers running at MIT.
The OLPC advocates need a reality check.

Very noisy. Screaming kids next door. Running down halls. Upstairs bouncing on floors.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Excellent quality for a good price"
Beautiful rooms and great service from staff, overall perception of location was great. Vietnamese restaurant on first floor was also delicious/inexpensive. Location is in an area off the main highway nestled with other hotel/condo buildings, with a quick drive to the heart of Canmore. The two hot tubs on-site (one fits 3-4 people and the other fits […] 8-10) were well maintained, and the outdoor area is pleasing. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Flcon Crest Lodge"
Friendly and helpful staff, large "homey" room, beautiful views... I'd definitely come again!Expedia 真实住客点评
"Still fabulous!"
I am used to a King size bed so I couldn't rate the room comfort with a higher score because Queen is the biggest bed they currently have. BUT, the manager told us they are in the process of upgrading to King size beds so that shouldn't be an issue next time. This was our 4th stay and we love the amenities. Also, they will match other rates!!!Expedia 真实住客点评
"Best Hotel in Alberta"
This hotel was crazy good. We just lucked out on it by booking through hotels.com, and it was awesome. Hotel was very clean, fresh, and new. Every single staff member was nice. They had free DVD's, board games, BBQ (which we used lots) stunning view of the mountains, they even brought us a blender and a wafflemaker. Bathroom had a huge soaker tub and […] a stand up shower. Tonnes of room (for 3 adults and 2 kids) in a 1 bedroom suite. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Great place to stay in Canmore"
The hotel was great and I would recommend to everyone. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite and it had lots of room for the 4 of us and it was great to have a kitchen. Jessica at the front desk was wonderful. She helped us with anything we asked and did it with a smile. Thank you.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great place."
Not everything was replenished every day or when they ran out (towels, sweetener or dishwasher detergent). As for location, comfort, cleanliness, convenience, they were all top notch. I'd certainly go back and would recommend it to everyone.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Make sure you have a car"
The hotel itself is fine - nice rooms, quiet, and not overpriced. But people should know it is not "two" blocks to town as I was told - it is 1.5 km to main street Canmore - which, if you do not have a car, makes it interesting to find food within a reasonable distance. I landed there on a Sunday night, and the only restaurant (Indochine) in the building […] or within close proximity is closed Monday and Tuesday's, so my options were to walk or take a cab into town for all my meals, or order in. It does however, have a nice kitchen, if you want to go shop and cook in. Fine place to stay if you have transportation. If you want to be closer to amenities, look elsewhere. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Great Stay!"
The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They are very service oriented. We upgraded our room to a one bedroom suite and they were very accommodating. The view was absoluetly beautiful. We were in two rooms. The first one we did not hear any car traffic or trains. In the second one, these sounds were more prominent but not terrible. If you are […] sensitive to sounds, request to be far away from road and railway traffic. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Exceptional Customer Service - Highly Recommended"
Everything about Falcon Crest Lodge was excellent. If I could, I'd be giving the "Quality of the staff and their service" a 6/5. The customer service was incredible from every single employee. Cory, the General Manager, was exceptional and definitely added to our stay. As a person who visits Canmore frequently and has stayed in many nice places, I […] can say that Falcon Crest has had the best customer service. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future and I highly recommend everyone does the same. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"cozy hotel Loved the room."
Liked the room very much. We wanted a hotel with a restaurant and lounge. Both were closed when we arrived. $8. cab ride to center of Canmore. No restaurants of lounges within comfortable walking distance.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Enjoyable condo-style accommodations"
Stayed for a night with my girlfriend. Nice little condo units with functional kitchens, free movies, underground parking. Staff are vey helpful, especially Jessica. Our neighbours were loud but I wouldn't hold that against the hotel. Great value for money, considering you can save some dough my cooking dinner in your room.Expedia 真实住客点评
It was a nice place. The room was the key strength. The hot tubs are IMO the only lacking part of this hotel. The view from our room showed a beautiful courtyard area with a large hot pool. There were lots of laughs from people who appeared to be having a great time after a day of skiing and this was very inviting. We wanted to go join in the fun and […] meet some new people. Sadly this hot pool belonged to a neighbouring resort. Other than that, the Falcon Crest is beautiful. Our room was a one bedroom suite which was incredible! BBQ on the deck was great. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Everything was great, except..."
The hotel is great, the service is fantastic, but the room was very dirty. We stayed in room 122, and other than the stains (hotels.com won't let me say what kind of stains, but they were the stains from when you drink too much and have to go ...) on the toilet and the "hairs" (hotels.com won't let me say what kind of hairs they were, but they were […] from the region below your belly button) in the bathtub, everything was great. Hate to sound so blunt, but this hotel has a lot going on for it, but to have stains on the rim of the toilet and a fairly large pile of hairs in the nice big soaker tub was really upsetting. I brought it up with the front desk and they were shocked! The girl who was working was excellent and apologized over and over, and even offered a bit off our next stay and brought us a bottle of wine. For that, and that alone, I will be back to this hotel, but I will definitely be asking for a different room this time if it's not cleaned properly. I didn't this time as by the time we noticed we were already unpacked for the evening and making dinner. I also wanted to note that the patio door was unlocked when we arrived, and we wouldn't have noticed if we didn't check, but being on the main floor could be a concern if you didn't notice that. Would also be nice if this place had an iPod dock for music. The under the cupboard radio/cd player is useless as no one carries CD's any more. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

US, UK and other countries won't sign telecom treaty
An agreement among the majority of countries includes provisions about Internet governance and content
IDG News Service - The U.S., U.K. and Canadian delegations to a worldwide telecom treaty-writing meeting will not ratify a resolution approved by the majority of countries because regulations will include provisions on Internet governance and content.
Negotiations at the International Telecommunication Union's World Conference on International Telecommunication (WCIT) in Dubai ended Thursday with disagreements about ITU regulation of the Internet and censorship of the Web. Negotiations were still ongoing late at night Dubai time, and a final version of the resolution was expected Friday.
Several other countries, including Kenya, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands and New Zealand, indicated late Thursday they would not sign the document or take partial reservations, said Terry Kramer, the head of the U.S. delegation to WCIT.
The resolution, to be signed Friday, will likely include language that would allow governments to get involved in Internet governance, a provision on fighting spam and a provision on fighting cybersecurity, among other issues, Kramer said during a press conference. The U.S. delegation objected to all three of those provisions, saying the spam and security provisions will open the door to new censorship of the Web.
ITU regulations should not address cybersecurity with "vague commitments that would have significant implications but few practical improvements on security," Kramer said.
The Internet governance proposals would take power away from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and multistakeholder groups, Kramer added. "It was clear that some administrations were seeking to insert government control over Internet governance," he said.
The resolution won't include a controversial provision requiring the sender of an Internet communication to pay the transport costs, but there were still "too many issues" that the U.S. objected to, Kramer said.
The resolution is not binding, and Kramer predicted few short-term effects of the WCIT agreement. But moving forward, the U.S. and its allies will have to work hard to push their view of using multistakeholder groups to resolve Internet governance issues, he said. "We are going to need to continue to do this global outreach so we don't inadvertently allow a Balkanization of the Internet," he said.
Some WCIT observers have also raised concerns that many countries could use the resolution as a model for regulation of the Internet.
Negotiations during the two-week conference began to sour late Wednesday, when countries began backing away from text they had already agreed to and WCIT Chairman Mohamed Nasser Al-Ghanim called for a show of hands to "take the temperature" of the room. He then declared that a majority was in favor of a resolution including the Internet in the WCIT regulations, in addition to traditional telecom services, a position the U.S. and its allies had opposed.
Several organizations, including the Internet Society and the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), also raised objections, saying the Internet provisions were included contrary to assurances from ITU Secretary General Hamadoun TourA(c)A A'hat the treaty was not about the Internet.
Amendments made to the text of the document were not published before an agreement was reached, the Internet Society said.
The group had hoped WCIT "would focus on competition, liberalization, free flow of information, and independent regulation-- things that have clearly worked in the field of telecommunications," Internet Society President and CEO Lynn St. Amour said in a statement. "Instead, these concepts seem to have been largely struck from the treaty text."
TourA(c)A A$?isputed the characterization by Kramer and others that the regulations address governing the Internet. The conference did not include provisions on the Internet in the treaty text, but a nonbinding resolution annexed to the main document aims at fostering the development and growth of the Internet, he said in a statement.
Fostering the growth of the Internet is a "task that ITU has contributed significantly to since the beginning of the Internet era, and a task that is central to the ITU's mandate to connect the world, a world that today still has two thirds of its population without Internet access," he said.
The treaty to will promote greater connectivity for people with disabilities, and the conference served to highlight important differences that countries have about telecommunications, he said. WCIT "has succeeded in bringing unprecedented public attention to the different and important perspectives that govern global communications," he added. "There is not one single world view but several, and these views need to be accommodated and engaged."
The international telecommunication regulations have not been updated since 1988.

I'm back on the Forums. Two years away and I'm back. Just one glance over at Core Coliseum and I realized how much I missed it.
Careers can do that to you; medical problems, too.
I'm in an awkward spot though. I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have the time to dive right back in. I will just have to stay in a "posting but not committing" groove for a while.
More blog latter.

The waltz of dusk plays through my mind
as I dance with my shadow, keeping the time
with his feet, he leads these steps sublime,
echoing through the ballroom.
echoing through the ballroom.
Let us dance one more twirl
take my hands I 'm the girl
I'll follow your steps in a whirl
For memories sake, one more time
For memories sake, one more time
Nice poem Eregwir. Especially like "the waltz of dusk" Good to see you back.
ohhhhhhh, too late,I've already posted, ...lol... Eregwir, I thought you were a guy, but just realised ... you are a girl! 'a'
...but then maybe 'death' is a him??? :-)
One thing about a shadow they are always in step. cem
No, I'm a guy. (lol)
Actually, I wasn't thinking of death when I wrote that. I was thinking of
those quiet times of solitude when no one is around; I can just reflect,
think, plan, and do those things you can't really do when a lot of people
are around you. I do appreciate those times. Thanks for the comments and

Question: What happens when 10,000 people in recovery from drug abuse and addiction get together to celebrate their sobriety?
Answer: Inspiration!
SBB was part of the team that went with NIDA Director Nora Volkow last month to march across the Brooklyn Bridge as part of Recovery Month. Celebrated every September, Recovery Month honors the thousands of Americans who have kicked their addictions. Recovery Month is sponsored by government and other organizations dedicated to fighting substance abuse.
The event at the Brooklyn Bridge was an amazing experience. People in recovery came from every state. Some had been sober for only a few months, others for many years. You could see their stories on their faces, and many of them had been through a lot. But you could also see their hope that came from hard work. On this day, they all came together to walk across one of the most famous bridges in America, the same bridge that many American immigrants helped build more than 100 years ago to connect Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The bridge is a great symbol of hope and incredible achievement, since the technology behind its design seemed nearly impossible a century ago. It was so difficult to build that many people were injured and died during the construction - but it was eventually completed and still stands today. For the 10,000 people who had the courage not just to get treatment for their addictions, but to go public with their struggles to inspire others, their victory is a major achievement, like the bridge.
The Recovery Rally at the bridge was sponsored by A&E Entertainment, which produces the TV show Intervention. Counselors on the show work with families to help convince their loved ones to seek treatment for their addictions. Many of the counselors on the TV show led the way at the march across the bridge, along with Dr. Nora Volkow, holding a banner that says "A&E Recovery Rally."
If you watch the show Intervention, you might recognize some of the counselors in the photo.
Musician Elton John recently said he's been helping rapper pal Eminem work through his problems with substance abuse.
Eminem (aka Slim Shady and, before that, Marshall Mathers from Detroit, MI), was in treatment for substance abuse in 2005. Since then, he has abused prescription drugs like Vicodin, Ambien, and Valium. Some bad things happened after 2005, and maybe that led him to start abusing drugs again. In December 2007, he was devastated when his marriage ended and his closest friend and fellow rapper DeShaun "Proof" Holton died. Eminem was even hospitalized for overdosing on methadone. Then in early 2008, he began a program to recover from his addiction, and he says he's been off drugs since April 2008.
Skip to now…if you read the lyrics on his latest album, called "Relapse," Eminem continues to glorify drug use and violence, even while he himself is trying to stay sober. So, here's a question for you:
Does artistic expression mean you can say whatever you want, even if you know you could be influencing others to hurt themselves by taking drugs?
Elton John has acknowledged his own problems with substance abuse in the past. He says he wants to be there now to help anyone who has addiction problems. It's good that Eminem has a more experienced artist like Elton John to guide him through this personal struggle. Wouldn't it be great if this true friend could also help Eminem use his talents to contribute a positive musical message to the world?
Most people know that addiction, can be overcome with treatment. But like many other diseases, it is often a winding road to get there. So, what are the steps to a healthier, drug-free life?
Seek treatment. The first step to recovery is to decide to seek treatment. It's hard for people to recognize or admit they have a problem, even when they are putting their lives – or the lives of others – at risk. It doesn't help that the brain's decision-making center is impaired when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Treatment may mean medications, behavioral counseling, or a combination of the two.
Learn new habits. Relapse (or returning to drug use) is common with addiction and is an expected part of treatment. Returning to the people, places, or things associated with former drug use can actually trigger relapse—before the addicted person is even aware of it. Behavioral therapy can teach the person in recovery to avoid these triggers and learn new coping skills so they can make better decisions.
Take it one step at a time. Recovery takes time. Treatment works best when it is long-term, at least 90 days in most cases. And because people treated for drug addiction are vulnerable to relapse even after they've been off drugs for a long while, most treatment professionals would say that someone with a past drug or alcohol problem is "in recovery" for a lifetime.
Find treatment. If you are interested in finding drug abuse treatment for yourself or a friend or family member, look up facilities near you by using the Substance Abuse Facility Treatment Locator, provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
Because addiction is a disease, it can be treated with therapy and, in some cases, medication. People can enter recovery from addiction, just like people can enter recovery from other diseases, like cancer.
Maybe when you think of someone who gets treatment for drug or alcohol abuse, you picture a middle-aged person who has struggled for half his life with the disease of addiction. That's not always the case. Many teens and young adults enter treatment and recovery at a young age.
Take it from Ben Chin, who submitted his story to the "Youth and Young Adults" section of the website for September's National Recovery Month health observance. Ben was addicted to alcohol by age 14—but he hasn't had a drink since he was 19 (he's 24 now).
In a video, Ben talks about how alcohol affected his life. "I missed a lot of opportunities," he said. "I got arrested a lot. I missed a lot of school." He also threw away a promising athletic future. "I lost the things that I cared about—my friends, and eventually, my family."
Entering treatment and recovery, though, changed all that. Ben says, "Recovery has given me a new life and much hope for the future."
In honor of National Recovery Month, take a moment to read and watch these personal stories from young people and adults in recovery.
Do you have a story about drug abuse or addiction? Consider submitting it here, which you can do anonymously. You never know who you might help by speaking out. Kristina Fenn says in her video, "My greatest fear before finding recovery was that I was the only person who had ever struggled with this disease. It's never too early to get into recovery."
As always, feel free to share your story in comments. We may offer you the opportunity to write a guest SBB post.
Recovery from addiction doesn't mean completing a rehabilitation program and then you are cured. Addiction is a brain disease that requires commitment and effort every single day to stay off drugs.
It can also mean more than one round of treatment—and usually does.
In April 2013, "Glee" star Cory Monteith checked himself into a treatment facility for drug addiction. This is the second time the actor has been in rehab.
When Cory was 19, he went to rehab after developing a severe drug addiction and dropping out of school. He went back to using drugs soon after, and eventually became so desperate he stole money from a family member. His family gave him the choice to either stop using drugs, or they would press charges for the theft.
Cory sought help to stop using drugs and began working with an acting coach. Just 2 years ago, he received his high school diploma, while starring as high school student Finn Hudson on "Glee."
Now 30 years old, Cory has chosen to refocus on his recovery. We're not sure if he was using drugs, or if he simply was struggling with the urge to use again. But we do know that he's making the smart decision to put his health first.
Cory's out of rehab now, and we wish him the best in his recovery journey. Recovery from addiction is a lifelong journey that sometimes requires multiple treatment episodes, just like some other illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. But if you have a problem, you're never too young to start addressing it.
NIDA continues to research the science of addiction, so that we can learn how to better prevent, manage, and eventually cure this disease.
What do you think about Cory Monteith's second stint in rehab?
