Watch an RT Anchor's Take Down of Russian Intervention in Crimea
Uh oh, someone's about to get called down to the Kremlin. Abby Martin, an anchor for the Russian government-funded RT news network (perhaps known better by its former name: Russia Today), is apparently not a fan of Russia's recent sabre-rattling in Crimea, and used her show Breaking the Set as the platform for voicing her displeasure.
"Just because I work here, for RT, does not mean that I don't have editorial independence," she began. "And I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation's affairs. What Russia did is wrong."
RT, which Reporters Without Borders has described as a "step of the state to control information," is notoriously Putin-friendly, most recently describing the Russian military as "a stabilizing force for Ukraine" and generally framing Moscow's intervention as a necessary evil.
Martin, who admitted to not being an expert on the intricacies of Ukrainian politics (an example that many pundits would do well to follow), finished her diatribe with a flourish of pro-Ukrainian sentiment. "Above all, my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people, who are now wedged as pawns in the middle of a global power chess game. They're the real losers here," she said. "All we can do now is hope for a peaceful outcome for a terrible situation and prevent another full-blown Cold War between multiple superpowers. Until then, I'll keep telling the truth as I see it."
In response to Martin's tongue lashing of her employer's main benefactor, RT has responded in a way that can best be described as passive aggressive: They're dispatching her to Crimea. "In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea," the network said in a statement. "As such we'll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story."
Despite that, Martin recently told the Telegraph that that was not the case, saying "I am not going to Crimea despite the statement RT has made."
Slatest PM: Putin Refuses to Rule Out the Use of Military Force in Ukraine

Putin Speaks: New York Times: "President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia broke his silence over the Ukraine crisis on Tuesday for the first time since it boiled over into a possible armed confrontation, asserting that he saw no reason for Russian forces to intervene in eastern Ukraine at the moment but leaving open the possibility of military action, saying that Russia 'reserves the right to use all means at our disposal to protect' Russian speakers in the country's south and east if they are in danger. Mr. Putin's comments — in an hourlong unscripted news conference in Moscow in which he described events in Ukraine as an unconstitutional coup and expressed contempt toward the United States — came as East-West tensions escalated in the former Soviet republic on Russia's doorstep, which has been convulsed in a political and economic crisis for months. The crisis escalated sharply last week when Russia moved to strengthen control over Ukraine's largely Russian-speaking Crimean peninsula, home to the Kremlin's Black Sea fleet."
The World: How Long Will Russia Keep Pretending That Yanukovych Is Still President?
Obama Responds: Washington Post: Putin "also asserted that the troops wearing unmarked uniforms in Crimea are local self-defense groups — not Russian forces, as observers on the scene have said. President Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry both rejected Putin's assertions Tuesday, with Kerry charging during a visit to Ukraine that 'Russia has been working hard to create a pretext for being able to invade further.' They said it was not true that Russia needs to send in troops to safeguard Russians or Russian-speakers in Ukraine from violent reprisals. Dismissing that alleged concern in remarks in Washington, Obama said Russia was 'seeking through force to exert influence on a neighboring country.'"

Mardi Gras' YOLO-Inspired Vandalism
You might only live once, but the same can't be said for the sign out front of Loyola University in Uptown New Orleans.
Local affiliate WDSU reports that school officials woke up this morning to find the first four letters of a concrete sculpture that spells Loyola on the campus' front lawn had gone missing. The school told the station that it had been a "victim of Mardi Gras"—although I suppose you could also say it was a victim of Drake. (For anyone who hasn't put it together by now, it wouldn't take a lot of effort to reorganize the stolen letters to spell YOLO.)

— Margaret H. Willison (@MrsFridayNext) March 4, 2014
If your first thought when you saw the photo above was: How the heck hasn't that happened before? The answer is: It has. Apparently a lot. "It happens during the normal times even when it's not a holiday," Meredith Hartley, the school's director of public affairs, told the Times-Picayune. A quick search of the New Orleans newpaper's archives suggests that is indeed the case. Not only has the sign suffered similar YOLO-themed damage before, Hartley told the paper last year that the sign is damaged so often—sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident by people posing for pictures—that the university actually keeps replacement letters on hand just in case.
School officials say the letters will be back up tomorrow once the school's facilities operations team returns to work. (It probably goes without saying that by waiting until Wednesday the school ensures that most of the Mardi Gras crowd will either have headed home or will be too hungover to do much repeat vandalizing.)
One quick note about the embedded photo up top: There's a bit of forced perspective at work. If you head on over to the Times-Picayune you'll find a photo gallery that has a shot that includes a person in the frame to give you an idea of the scale we're talking about here.

Kentucky Will Hire a New Lawyer After AG Refuses to Appeal Gay-Marriage Ruling
The battle over same-sex marriage in Kentucky isn't over just yet. Gov. Steve Beshear announced today that he'll appeal Judge John Heyburn's recent ruling that Kentucky must recognize valid same-sex marriages performed in other states. While Beshear's decision isn't in itself a surprise, the timing of it was given it came only moments after state Attorney General Jack Conway, a fellow Democrat, gave an emotional speech saying he thought the judge's ruling was the right one, via USA Today:
"Judge Heyburn got it right," said Conway. ...
By appealing, Conway said, he would be defending discrimination "and that I will not do." Conway said he had prayed on the decision and felt he is doing what is right. He said that he was sworn to defend both the constitutions of Kentucky and the United States. "It's about placing people over politics," he said.
He began choking up at the end of the statement before leaving without taking questions.
Conway had initially asked for a 90-day delay to decide if the state would try to appeal the ruling and also to decide how to enforce the law. Given Conway no longer has any plans to appeal, Beshear will need to hire outside counsel to represent the state in federal court.
As my colleague Mark Stern explained last month, Heyburn used his preliminary ruling to stick his thumb directly in the eye of Justice Scalia, who had lamented how easy it would be to apply Windsor's logic to state-level gay marriage bans. Elsewhere in Slate: David S. Cohen and Dahlia Lithwick discuss marriage equality's perfect record post-Windsor, and explain why gay marriage can't lose in the courts.
Wait, Wait... NPR's Carl Kasell to Retire
Carl Kasell, the official judge and scorekeeper of NPR's Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!, will call it a career this spring, the 79-year-old radio personality and NPR announced Tuesday.
Kasel spent three decades as a news reader for NPR's Morning Edition, a resume that only made it that much funnier when listeners would tune in to Wait Wait and hear him read fill-in-the-blank limericks or any of the other number of outlandish things that found themselves in the show's scripts. "He was the voice people woke up to," Eric Nuzum, NPR's vice president for programming, told staff in a memo. "They opened their eyes, and for 30 years, he was there, reassuring them the world was still in one piece. In 1998 he was recruited to provide gravitas to NPR's new news-quiz, where his title, Official Judge and Scorekeeper, belied his key role as the show's straight man. Carl delighted in the role, and we all know the audience delighted in him."
According to the Chicago Tribune, Kasell will become Scorekeeper Emeritus upon his retirement later this year, making occasional appearances and continuing to record voice-mail or answering-machine greetings for those callers who win one of the show's contests. According to NPR, Wait Wait is planning farewell shows in Chicago and Washington, D.C., in between now and when Kasell officially hangs up his mic sometime "this spring."

President Obama's Budget Proposal Is Back to Being a Liberal Wish List
Last year, President Obama used his annual budget proposal as an olive branch in his quest to bring Republicans to the table to hash out a sweeping fiscal deal, including things like a chained CPI proposal and an offer to reduce the benefit increases for Social Security. That bargain, of course, never came to pass. Fast forward to this year and we see the White House has returned to the basics with a blue print that resembles a liberal wish list of sorts, via the New York Times:
President Obama on Tuesday sent Congress an election-year budget request that reflects Democratic ideals, emphasizing increased spending on domestic initiatives for education, public works and research paid for by ending tax breaks for the wealthy and some corporations, rather than continued budget cutting.
Mr. Obama's budget for the 2015 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 is mostly a familiar volume that seeks, for the sixth time, to balance investments to help the economy and spread economic opportunities, against continued spending cuts and tax increases to continue reducing annual deficits. But the theme of this year's budget reflects Mr. Obama's call to have the nation address the growing inequality of incomes and economic opportunity. ....
Gone are the concessions the president proposed to Republicans last year, as his second term began, to reduce future Social Security payments to arrest the projected growth of federal debt.
Very little of the proposal is expected to become law, let alone even seriously be considered in Congress. Instead, the president's proposal serves as an early benchmark for the 2014 midterm elections, one that Democrats hope will highlight their differences with Republicans on the campaign trail.
The proposal's bottom line numbers for 2015: $3.9 trillion in spending and $3.3 trillion in revenues. More than two-thirds of the former is earmarked for mandatory spending on things like entitlement benefits and interest on the federal debt. Meanwhile, the blue print projects the national deficit will fall to $649 billion this year, to $564 billion the following year (a figure that is less than half in dollar terms of the deficit he inherited when he was sworn in in 2009, according to the Times), and to $434 billion in 2024 (or 1.6 percent of the overall economy, down from 3.7 percent this year, according to the Washington Post).
Slate will have more coverage of the president's budget proposal later.

Warning Shots in Crimea
My colleague Joshua Keating is providing excellent coverage of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine over on The World, but the above video is worth flagging here. It comes by way of Sky News, and will give you an on-the-ground look at just how tense the situation is in Crimea, where an estimated 16,000 Russian troops were deployed over the weekend as Moscow looked to tighten its grip on the Black Sea peninsula.
The dramatic footage is from the Belbek air base in Sevastopil, which pro-Russian troops had seized control of days ago. Today, around 300 Ukrainian soldiers reportedly marched toward the base to regain control, waving flags and singing their country's national anthem in the process. As you'll see, however, their progress was ultimately halted at a check-point near the base, where pro-Russian troops began firing warning shots. Here's Sky with the play-by-play:
At the Belbek base in Sevastopol, around a dozen Russian soldiers warned the unarmed Ukrainian servicemen to back away as they tried to take their positions back. The Russians then fired several shots into the air, saying they would shoot the Ukrainians. A video of the confrontation shows a Russian soldier saying to the Ukrainians: "I want your officer here. We'll be shooting your legs." A Ukrainian soldier responds: "You will pay for this. You'll be responsible." ...
Sky's Katie Stallard, who is at the airbase, said wives and mothers of the Ukrainian servicemen were standing between the two lines to prevent any bloodshed. She said: "There are around a dozen women, wives and mothers, standing in front of their men because they believe they (Russian soldiers) will be more reluctant to fire on them."
The armed troops (it's a little unclear whether they are pro-Russian militia or full-fledged Russian troops, although the difference is largely one of semantics) eventually agreed to negotiations between commanders from both sides, but hours after the incident it remained unclear what the outcome of those talks was. Earlier in the day, Vladimir Putin ordered those Russian troops taking part in what Moscow is somewhat dubiously billing as "military exercises" close to the Ukrainian border to return to their bases, although current reports suggest that some troops are still on the ground near Sevastopil. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is set to visit Kiev today in a show of support for the new government.

Slatest PM: Tensions Rise With Reports of an Ultimatum From Russia
***Sign up here to receive the Slatest PM—along with the best posts from Slate's other blogs—in your inbox every weekday afternoon.***
A Russian Ultimatum?: New York Times: "The besieged new government of Ukraine accused Russian forces of a major escalation in pressure over control of the Crimea on Monday night, saying the Russians had demanded that Ukrainian forces there surrender within hours or face armed assault. Russia denied it had issued any ultimatum but was clearly moving to strengthen its grip on Crimea, brushing aside new admonitions from President Obama and European leaders of economic punishment and isolation. The Interfax-Ukrainian news agency quoted an unidentified Ukrainian Defense Ministry official as saying Russia's Black Sea Fleet commander had set a deadline of 5 a.m. Tuesday — 10 p.m. Monday Eastern time — for Ukrainian forces stationed in Crimea to lay down their weapons. Russia's Interfax news agency said the Black Sea Fleet had no such plans. The conflicting reports only further served to worsen tensions in the Ukraine crisis, which has grown drastically in scope within the past few weeks to a new confrontation between Russia and the West reminiscent of low points in the Cold War."
Obama's Response: Politico: "President Barack Obama warned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that continued military presence in Ukraine is a 'costly proposition' that would 'isolate Russia' from the international community. 'I think the world is largely united that the steps Russia has taken are a violation of international law' and that Russia is 'on the wrong side of history,' Obama said in the Oval Office as heavy snow tapered off across Washington. 'Over time, this will be a costly proposition for Russia.' ... [The president said] that some of the most likely responses are those discussed Sunday by Secretary of State John Kerry, including freezes on the assets of Russian businesses and a visa ban by the 'global community,' not just the United States. The State Department is already preparing sanctions against Russia and the Obama administration is "likely moving down that path" to implement them, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on a conference call with reporters."

Disney Cuts Future Funding to Boy Scouts Over Anti-Gay Policy
The Walt Disney Company announced this past weekend that it will cut funding to the Boy Scouts of American beginning next year because of the group's policy that bars gays from being adult leaders in the organization.
It's important to note that Disney itself does not directly give to the Boy Scouts. Rather, the company gives cash to some troops in exchange for volunteer hours completed by Disney employees. (The program is called, I kid you not, VoluntEARS.) In 2010, Disney employees volunteered for 548,000 hours, raising $4.8 million for charities in the process, according to its website—although the site doesn't specify how much of that cash went to Boy Scout troops.
Via CNN, here's where the Boys Scouts ran afoul of Disney's charity rules:
According to Disney's charitable giving guidelines, groups become ineligible to receive Disney funding if they "discriminate in the provision of services unlawfully or in a manner inconsistent with Disney's policies on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, marital status, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation."
Although the Boy Scouts have allowed gay youths to join, it still bars gays as Scout leaders. The BSA has responded to the news and expressed its disappointment in Disney's decision. Disney said the policy will not affect employees who volunteer with the BSA.
Pope Francis Accidentally Dropped an Expletive During His Weekly Prayer
The above clip is from Pope Francis' weekly blessing from the Vatican, footage of which normally goes unnoticed by your Twitter feed and mine. Then again it's not everyday that the Holy See accidentally drops a curse word while speaking from a window in St. Peter's Square.
To be fair, this was a verbal stumble we're talking about, not a hot-mic mishap. Still, as harmless as it was, it was nonetheless plenty entertaining. The pope, who is a native Spanish speaker, meant to say "caso," which is Italian for "example" or "case." Instead, he said "cazzo," which depending on which Italian-to-English dictionary you use translates either to some variation of "prick" or your more classic F-bomb. Or, as my colleague Andrew McCarthy aptly put it in an email, cazzo is more or less the "Swiss army knife of Italian curses." (On a related note, McCarthy would like his parents to know that his semester abroad back in college wasn't actually a complete waste.)
Here's a translation of Francis' verbal miscue and quick correction: "If each one of us does not amass riches only for oneself, but half for the service of others, in this [insert your expletive of choice here] ... in this case the providence of God will become visible through this gesture of solidarity."

NEW YORK (WABC) -- You may be sick of it, but can you ever "really" get enough of our first November best bet?
We are in a sweet spot of Smarties, suckers, and all sorts of candy, cheapest right now, between Halloween and stocking stuffer time, which is right around the corner.
"This is a very exciting time of the year for a lot of shoppers. We have Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday sales," said Mark LoCastro, of Dealnews.com.
Mark and the editors at Dealnews.com comb through and compare slews of sales-seeing deep cuts on cookware well before the holiday frenzy to get you ready for the family feast.
"The sheer volume of deals are much higher versus the rest of the year. We're talking about your coffeemaker, your blender, your crock pots, microwaves. All these are great to buy during November," Mark said.
Along with cookware, look for deals on hardware this month - both are Black Friday favorites to put on sale, along with vacuums.
"Specifically, on Hoover last year, these [vacuums] had fantastic discount, I think about 30 to 50 percent off. But unfortunately Dysons, they got better after Black Friday.
"Refurbished" Dysons, however, are a good buy now. Ditto for all models of refurbished iPads.
Mark says look for previous generations, like the discontinued iPad 4 to be discounted this month.
"We're expecting the iPad 4 to be around 400 bucks, which is $100 off the list price," Mark said.
But just don't look for the deepest Black Friday discounts at the Apple store.
"Apple does have an annual Black Friday sale but is for 5 to 10 percent off. Shop at certified reseller like Best Buy , they'll have double the amount of discounts, 20 percent," Mark said.
In other tablets look for Google's Nexus 7 to drop to $200 at the end of the month.
Just don't look for big Black Friday breaks on new gadgets. Samsung Phablet, for example, part phone, part tablet, comes with its own accessory - a wristwatch that does it all.
"This is the Samsung 3 and this is the gear. These are brand new. They're in high demand. Don't expect a lot of deals and discount on these they're too hot!" Mark said.
It's also not the time to buy Highend TVs this month. Wait until next year. Wait until next month to buy toys too.
"There will be sales on toys during bf but they will get even better in December. Specifically 2 weeks before Christmas is when you see the biggest discounts on toys," Mark said.
Other good buys this month include wedding dresses. It's a slow season to say "I do," so big bargaining opportunities at the bridal shop - and off-brand smaller TVs. Those will be the doorbusters advertised to get you into the store on Black Friday).

Project Teen Canada has been conducting surveys on the religious affiliations of teenagers since 1984. Its latest findings show that Canadians are becoming more polarised into believers and non-believers. The number of faithless has grown almost three-fold whereas Christians have dropped below 50% for the first time. There has also been a steep rise in believers of other faiths, although this is largely due to immigrants. One minor point is that the new data for 2008 only adds up to 93% rather than 100%.
One interesting trend is that the grey area of uncommitted believers and agnostics is emptying out leaving the two poles of practising believers on one side and atheists on the other. The article writer obviously thinks this is a "bad thing", but that just exposes her own beliefs. Indeed there is a huge statistical blunder near the end of the piece. "For instance, 95 per cent of young people who "definitely" believe in God or a higher power also think this entity "expects us to be good to each other," while just three per cent of atheists agree. As the percentage of religious teens falls, Bibby wonders just how that will affect our ethics and behaviour."
It doesn't seem to enter the writer's mind that as atheists do not believe in God then they can hardly then agree that God "expects us to be good". Indeed, perhaps 3% of atheists didn't understand the question, or perhaps as is seen in other surveys the category of atheist hides a lot of different philosophical positions.
Sadly, the article seems to think this is a worrying trend and the road to moral corruption. A tired and boring argument that somehow a carrot-and-stick deity is the best humanity can do to live a civil life. As one commenter says, kids nowadays want to be smart, they want to know, they want to be rational and scientific - I hope the Canadian education system satisfies these desires. If at some point in the future these kids also need to look inside themselves for some esoteric knowledge, then that too can be done scientifically without recourse to a phantom in the skies.

Atheism on the Rise Among Canadian Teens

Human Rights > Belief
Atheism is a belief in nothing! its still a belief, so don't think you get out scott free of the belief issue.
To force "belief" on developing minds before they have the true ability to chose is just brain washing.
But we must also have respect for each other's beliefs if they do not impair some ones human rights.
This is all a very undefined area as most ppl are still arguing over the belief part, belief = barrier!.... I'm actually an atheist living in Canada (I'm 19 now, became an atheist 4 years ago), I was born into a Christian family, although my parents were never strict, and are now also atheists.
Maybe all of this is due to the fact that living in Canada teaches you to be more accepting and openminded about religious/non-religious beliefs. Therefore, you wouldn't have the normal exlusivity of one faith that you'd find elsewhere. I think this is the reason that Canadians don't take religion too seriously, otherwise conflict would arise everytime we went outside and saw someone who believed in something else.Adrian, I dounbt it. I've met too many closed minded Canadians, and too many closed minded Atheists. Canadian society is not really mro eopen minded than, say, the United States. In fact, culturlaly its very, very similar dispite how much Canadians tend to look down on the US.
It shoudl also be noted that Atheists tend to argue agaisnt Religiou beleif, whilst remainign blind to the fact that their own beleifs are also religious. ( I didnt say Athiesm is a religion, but no oen is just an Athiest, and theism isnt a religion either.)
All one has to do is look at Debunking Christianity or read Richard Dawkisn website and they'd see that Atjeits aren't really open minded and tolerant. At leats not nessisarily. SOme can be, but its not really something we'd expect to see a storng correlation in. Christians also arne't that closed minded.
Whats happenign in Canada is mroe the result of socialisaiton than beign open minded and tolerant. Its what the Germans called a Zeitgiest, or the SPirit of he Age. (THis is not to be confused withthe online conspiracy theory movie.)
Canada has gone the same route as Europe,. who have let its Acdeamy's be taken over by those who toted the ideology of the Enlightenment and the 19th century Humanist writers, who woudl insturct others who woudl go on to hold these views, and later take positions as Industry leaders, media figures, and politiicans.
Graduclaly, as they wrote books, delivered speeches, and generlaly dsemenated their ideas and htinking, the rest of osciety woudl begin to cathc onto it.
Since Canada did not see a strong resurgence in Christians forming a sort of resistance as happened in the 1980's in the United States withthe formaiton of the Moral Majority, Canadians tended to absord these ideas and they became the common cultural backdrop, which has been larlgey subconsiously accepted and which forms the basis for how we see the world. Few peopel in general tend to sto;p and really anymlise the conventional wisdom of their society, much less ask where it began or if its true, and so we see in Canada the general move toward a Humanistic society, because its just expected by the people because thats how they have been condiitoned thanks to their society.
Since the Enlightenment and the Humanist movement where themselves virulently Anti-Christian, there is a tendancy to accept the critisisms of Christianity as common knowledge, just as we accept things like Democracy as good, or think that people shudl wear mroe casual clothing when steppign out for a night ont he town.
Those may not seem related, bu they are. In the not too distant past, peopel dressed in frmal suits ot step out, and Democracy has not always been universlaly loved. The reason we see htem widely accepted today is the result of social conditioning. Today, its just somehting "Everyone knows".
The same applies to Religion in Canada.
Everyone knows CHristianity has had a lengthy brutal hisotry, for example. How many peopel have stoped and read that History? Have you?
Its common knowledge iwhtout reading it.
Just like the idea that CHristianity adopted pagan ideas to form a lot of its doctirnes is now a "Commonly known fact" even though modern scholarhsip rejects htis claim, even if the scholar is an Athiest.
Sociology is more responcible for htis shift than Canadian Open mindedness.
After all, you can be open minded and a Christian, and beign an Ahtiest isnt relaly the same thng as beign open minded.

All lanes of southbound Interstate 5 near the Coronado Bridge were reopened early Thursday after a pedestrian was struck and killed on the freeway, authorities said.
The pedestrian was hit while apparently attempting to run across the freeway around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol, which closed off the area until about 2 a.m.
A motorist who stopped at the scene was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving, the agency reported on its website. It was not immediately clear whether the driver would face charges related to the death.
The pedestrian may have been struck by multiple vehicles. The CHP said its investigation was ongoing.
The SigAlert was issued at 8:16 p.m. and includes all lanes north and south between Imperial Avenue and Coronado Bridge exits. Southbound traffic was still being diverted off Cesar Chavez.Due to the violent nature of the accident, authorities have been unable to identify the victim.
--City News Service contributed to this report.

ILSR Congratulates Chattanooga on Nation's Largest Fiber Broadband Network
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - September 28 - The Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) is pleased to congratulate Chattanooga, Tennessee, for building the largest publicly owned, full fiber network in the United States. Chattanooga's public power utility, EPB, began offering telephone, broadband, and television services on its new fiber-to-the-home network on September 15.
This broadband network will allow smart-grid applications for the electrical utility as well as offer local support, faster speeds for both uploading and downloading, and create a competitive environment for broadband.
Christopher Mitchell, the Director of the Telecommunications as Commons Initiative at ILSR was excited at the announcement. "Every year, we see more communities building what many companies refuse to: fiber-optic networks offering fast and affordable connections. This network will cut subscriber bills, increase broadband speeds, and create jobs."
Mitchell is a national expert on publicly owned broadband networks. An author of several case studies and reports, he also maintains MuniNetworks.org, a web site that tracks news in the community network sector.
The United States has steadily fallen behind peer nations on international broadband rankings over the past decade, something Mitchell attributes to a lack of public investment in networks. "Too many communities have waited for the private sector to build this essential infrastructure even as most companies have found it insufficiently profitable to invest. To remain competitive internationally, we need the public sector to step up broadband investments."
Mitchell has previously demonstrated that publicly owned networks offer some of the fastest broadband connections in the country, while keeping access affordable to all.
Though it will not be finished for a few years, Chattanooga's
broadband network already is already available to 17,000 people and businesses
- a number that will expand to 100,000 within a year. More information about the new Chattanooga network is

I actually agree with you completely. I was probably more freaked out playing the first one, but I played a lot more of the second. I thought it was an excellent game and one of my favorite games on the PS2. My least favorite was "The Room".

ESQUIMALT, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/04/13 -- Today, the Government of Canada issued a five-year extension to Babcock Canada Inc. on its contract to refit and maintain Canada's Victoria-class submarines.
The extension exercises the first five-year option period of the Victoria In-Service Support Contract that was competitively awarded in 2008. This contract extension has a value of approximately $531 million. The contract includes a number of extension options that could bring the contract duration to 15 years, with a potential maximum value of $1.5 billion.
"The extension of this contract is an important investment in sustaining a key operational capability for our Canadian Armed Forces," said Minister Findlay. "This is also another important investment in skilled employment in Canada's marine sector, supporting more than 400 high-quality, skilled jobs across Canada - over 200 in Esquimalt alone."
All heavy maintenance work covered by the in-service support contract will take place at Victoria Shipyards Co. Ltd., in Esquimalt, B.C. Work under the contract includes planning and managing the refit periods of the submarines; materiel acquisition; all maintenance activities, including Extended Docking Work Periods; and engineering services. An Extended Docking Work Period involves the comprehensive maintenance, repair, overhaul or upgrading of each of the submarine's more than 200 systems.

I must confess to having owned a Vespa for 4 years and I will be riding it for many years to come. The PX is truly a classic design, very little has change mechanically or aesthetically over the years which is either a good thing or not depending on your point of view. The engine certainly hasnt changed much and still has its unmistakeable 2 stroke phut phut sound, you do get a disc brake on the front wheel now which slows you down a bit quicker than before! Performance is not outstanding but quite quick enough as long as you are happy to lose traffic light grand prixs with more modern scooters, top speed is probably 55-60 mph and you get there quick enough to leave most Read the complete review

Having come across these and other Vespas quite a few times before, I finally decided a couple of months ago to save up some money and look for a second hand Vespa PX125; summer was on its way, and I wanted something to get out and about on that was cheap, fun and convenient. So eventually I found one that I could afford and which I liked the look of ? a yellow T5 classic, basically a PX125 with a very slight engine difference, still 125cc. I instantly preferred it to the other modern style scooters on the market. Although the model I bought is only from 1996, the shape is faithful to the classic design, and so it is beautiful to look at. But this was only ... Read the complete review

There's something oh so irresistible about Vespas. If it's either its Retro design, or the nostalgia factor from having one when you were a teen, the Vespa is a classic. And we love it. I got my Vespa PX last year after a 12 year love affair with them, admittedly not knowing anything about them bar they were cosmetically pretty, I had a mild panic attack when having to face its gears and clutch. Within the first weekend of owning my Vespa I'd stalled it about 100 times, fallen off it, popped an accidental wheelie, almost ran my Dad over.. twice and been given the two finger salute by a very angry looking Lady in a people carrier.

I saw this section and it just brought back many happy scootering memories, made me think about the lovely px125 I had. At least 13 years ago I was mad about vespa scooters, my first was a little pk50 which did nothing but give me grief, probably due to it being old when I bought it for £30 It did last me a few years until I was old enough to upgrade to a 125. Upgrade I did, there was no way I could afford a brand new scooter, so hunting for a decent second hand one was a task in itself. Eventually I found one that I just had to have. It was a Vespa PX125cc and customised with a gorgeous gold respray, upholstered seat, backrest, chrome crash bars, and a ... Read the complete review

I bought a Vespa towards the end of the summer and I must admit that the maneuvrability and handling of this scooter is very good. I bought it new with all the guarantees and specials. The replacement parts are cheaper than other scooters, but take time to order. The look of the scooter has barely changed in 20 years and has great classic/retro value. While purchasing this machine I did realise that the resale value is very good...I even saw a C reg Vespa for £1100! Additionally, many of these are stolen a year so do make sure you lock it to a lamppost whenever possible...you could have an alarm and both wheels locked, but at the end of the day people steal ...

Test votes postponed on unemployment bill
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate postponed a pair of test votes on stalled unemployment legislation on Monday as Republicans and Democrats sought a compromise to restore benefits to 1.3 million long-term jobless workers who lost them abruptly late last year.
The postponement came after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada met privately with two Republicans on the measure, the first in what looms as a series of election-year bills in which the political parties vie for support from economically strapped voters.
Officials in both parties said that in the meeting with Reid, Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Susan Collins of Maine proposed adding a provision to the bill to restore full cost of living benefits to military retirees under the age of 62. Lawmakers voted to curtail the increases late last year, and now face enormous pressure from veterans groups to reverse themselves.
As drafted, the legislation would restore federal benefits for the unemployed who have exhausted their state-provided support, generally after 26 weeks. An earlier program expired on Dec. 28, cutting off about 1.3 million people hurt by the recession who had been receiving an average $256 weekly.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Reid did not mention the veterans, but said he hoped an agreement was possible on the unemployment issue.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he wanted any compromise to give the GOP the ability to have Senate votes on GOP proposals before final passage. He did not outline any specific proposals, but has previously recommended paying for extended unemployment benefits by delaying a requirement for individuals to purchase health insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law.
Little more than an hour after McConnell spoke, Heller, Collins and six other Senate Republicans released a statement saying they had met. Referring to the Democrats, they said, "We continue to negotiate in good faith, and we are all encouraged that we are making progress on a package that could pass with bipartisan support."
Officials said the proposal advanced by Heller and Collins to Reid would renew the expired jobless benefits for three months and, reverse the change in cost of living increases for retired veterans as part of a $12.5 billion package that would be fully paid for gradually over a decade. It also would require the Senate to vote on a small number of GOP proposals to change the legislation.
The agreement to postpone the test votes until at least Tuesday afternoon prevented the current standoff from hardening, because there was little prospect that supporters of the bill could have amassed the 60 votes needed to prevail.
Officials said Heller and Collins recommended making quick offsetting cuts elsewhere in the budget to make sure deficits don't rise as a result of the jobless legislation. After initially proposing to let deficits rise as unemployment benefits were paid out, Democrats late last week recommending extending existing cuts already in effect in some benefit programs by one year, until 2024. They included a 2 percent reduction in fees paid to hospitals and other Medicare providers - a proposal that Heller and Collins did not put in their own offer.
Also at issue is the duration of any new program.
Democrats called for an 11-month bill late last week, while Heller and Collins proposed three months instead.
The officials who described the proposals spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss them on the record. Aides to Heller and Collins refused to provide confirmation.
The mood was testy earlier in the day, when Reid said Republicans "have been very effective at creating gridlock" and "obsessed with taking pot shots" at the health care law.
A few moments later, McConnell blamed Democrats for the hold-up that has blocked action on the legislation to date.
Until the weekend, he said, Reid "only seemed to want to extend this program - without really paying for it, without doing much of anything to help create private sector job creation and without creating opportunities for targeted training" for the unemployed.
Under the expired program, the long-term jobless were entitled to a maximum of 47 additional weeks of benefits, depending on the unemployment level in their states. Under a revised bill Reid advanced late last week, the total would fall to a maximum of 31 weeks.
