Verizon, Bandwidth.com interconnection deal could be precedent-setting
Traffic exchange agreement involving VOIP provider is good and bad news for incumbent telcos
A new traffic termination between business VOIP provider Bandwidth.com and Verizon is good news and bad news for incumbent carriers.
Industry News
Briefing Room
First the good news
The good news is that the deal represents an acknowledgement on the part of the VOIP provider that its traffic may be subject to termination charges. Some VOIP providers have argued that they are not required to pay terminating access charges because VOIP is an information service, rather than a communications service. And some of those VOIP providers have gone to great lengths to avoid paying termination charges, including disguising the originating phone number to prevent the terminating carrier from billing for the traffica phenomenon sometimes called phantom traffic.
For too long, uncertainty over what charges apply to VOIP traffic has served as a wall to the innovations customers want and the lower prices they need, said Bandwidth.com President John Murdock in an announcement from Bandwidth.com about the Verizon deal. We are delighted to be working with Verizon in reaching a commercial deal that hopefully will serve as a path for the industry and service providers to move forward and better serve customers.
Now the bad . . .
The bad news is that the new deal between Bandwidth.com and Verizon was made at a surprisingly low $0.0007 per minute. Small rural telcos traditionally have the highest termination charges because they rely on those charges to pay part of their network costs, which tend to be subtantially higher than for carriers in more densely populated areas. Its unlikely that Bandwidth.com would be willing to sign an agreement to pay typical small telco termination fees (Unless the company is using phantom traffic techniques, however, it presumably is already paying those charges today.)
In a research note, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Rebecca Arbogast speculated that Verizon, which entails substantial costs in paying terminating access charges to small rural carriers, may have made the move as an alternative to waiting for regulators to make long-promised reforms to the access charge system. In the absence of reform, we believe Verizon and others are looking to put downward pressure on intercarrier compensation in the marketplace, wrote Arbogast.
Another concern is that Bandwidth.com may have left itself some wiggle room. Arbogast said it is Stifels understanding that Bandwidth.com and Verizon are treating the VOIP traffic from Bandwidth.com as a Title I information service, rather than Title II communications service.
According to Arbogast, it is also Stifels understanding that the new agreement applies only to traffic to and from Verizons traditional voice customers and not its wireless customers.

The following is the full text of a statement released Tuesday by Maryland State Police regarding comments made by Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler:
Related story
Police support veteran officer's accounts about the attorney general's alleged driving incidents.
(PIKESVILLE, MD) – The Maryland State Police believe comments made by the Maryland Attorney General today about the Commander of the Executive Protection Section are baseless and inappropriate. The Department continues to stand behind the statements made by seven troopers who made written reports in addition to other troopers who made oral reports from the Executive Protection Section whose concerns were detailed in emails recently required to be released to media pursuant to requests under the Maryland Public Information Act.
In a television interview broadcast today, the Maryland Attorney General referred to the Commander of the Executive Protection Section as a 'henchman' and implied his actions were motivated by politics. This reference to Lt. Charles Ardolini is unseemly and unacceptable. Lt. Ardolini has served in the Executive Protection Section for almost 13 years, as a trooper providing protection, as a supervisor, and, for the last eight years, as the commander of the section. He worked under the administrations of Governor William Donald Schaeffer, Governor Parris Glendening, Governor Robert Ehrlich, and Governor Martin O'Malley.
As Commander of the Executive Protection Section, Lt. Ardolini reports to Lieutenant Colonel William Pallozzi, Chief of the Support Services Bureau. Lt. Col. Pallozzi served as a trooper providing protection, as a supervisor, and as a commander of the Executive Protection Section for 11 years, working for three administrations. "The role of anyone assigned to the Executive Protection Section, including the commander, is to fully focus on providing for the safety and protection of the elected officials we are assigned to protect," Lt. Col. Pallozzi said. "We are to remain completely unattached and unaffiliated with any political party, cause or candidate. To accuse someone in the Executive Protection Section of a politically motivated action impugns the integrity not only of that individual, but of every one of the dedicated troopers who works in this difficult and demanding assignment. I have worked with and supervised Lt. Ardolini for more than 20 years and find his character and his commitment as a member of the Maryland State Police to be above reproach. The concern of Lt. Ardolini was solely focused on the safety of the protectee, his troopers, and the general public. His actions, which occurred two years ago, had absolutely nothing to do with any political motivation."
The Maryland State Police believe the members of the Executive Protection Section work very hard to be impartial. Lt. Ardolini's conduct was nothing but professional. His memorandum was the result of ongoing safety concerns expressed to him by his troopers over a period of time that culminated with actions witnessed by the Lieutenant himself. He ultimately reported his concerns up his chain of command to the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police. Lt. Ardolini would have been considered negligent in his duties had he not done so. Lt. Ardolini did not make these documented concerns public. The documents became public due to a request by the Washington Post under the Maryland Public Information Act.
The Maryland State Police Executive Protection Section role remains that of protection, security, and safety, not politics.

By: Chris Gilson, firstname.lastname@example.com
Could gay marriage in Iowa soon be a thing of the past? It may rest on one Supreme Court Justice's bid for re-election.
Justice David Wiggins could lose his seat pending the outcome. He and six colleagues ruled in 2009 that banning gay marriage is unconstitutional in Iowa. But, now some opponents of gay marriage known as the 'No Wiggins' want to vote him out with hopes of reversing the court decisions.
"Now you have an opportunity to tip the balance with a fourth justice and an opportunity to even reverse this horrific decision," Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
That was former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum who made a few stops on the 'No Wiggins' bus tour just a few weeks ago. A group who said Justice David Wiggins needs to be voted off the bench this fall. A cause that's firing up folks on both sides of the political spectrum.
"It's just sad that something so fundamental as the right to marry the one that you love should be subject to such an unprecedented attack," Rev. Rich Hendricks said.
Reverend Rich Hendricks of the Community Church of the Quad Cities said he's performed hundreds of same-sex marriages over the past few years. Hendrick's said its basic civil right for everyone.
"Marriage hasn't collapsed in Iowa or anywhere else. It's as ever bit as strong as it used to be in fact I think it's stronger because of the appreciation for it," Hendricks said.
But, others disagree.
"I don't believe their interpretation of freedom agrees with mine," Fritz Fuhs said.
Fritz Fuhs said letting people of the same-sex marry weakens society. He wonders where you draw the line for other issues that could come up down the road.
"If same–sex people are free to marry then what would be our objection to the Mormon who wants four wives," Fuhs said.
A similar conservative movement in 2010 was successful in getting three of the six justices who ruled in favor of gay marriage voted off the state's Supreme Court.
Wiggins' race is seen as a measure of the attitude toward gay marriage.

The misogyny of the left
The left wing likes to accuse the right of misogyny. As they sanctimoniously point their fingers they ignore the latent and often overt misogyny that exists in their own ranks.
Sure they hide behind quotas and other artifices but it is there. One of the worst exponents is Martyn Bradbury. Yesterday he attacked Josie Pagani for no reason other than he doesn't like where her politics lies…it isn't far enough left for his liking.
Josie Pagani is no blouse though and she strikes back against his tyranny.
ItŌĆÖs time for the tolerant, open and compassionate left to stand up to vilification and abuse when it is practised by sections of the left.
The left should not be defined by political aggression, intolerance and bullying; it should be defined by decency, inclusion, ideas and respect for people.
Exhibit A: Martyn Bradbury of the Daily Blog denounced ŌĆśthree broadcasters of the apocalypseŌĆÖ, after the announcement that Guyon Espiner will host Radio New ZealandŌĆÖs Morning Report.┬Ā He called Guyon ŌĆśa hard right neo-liberal white rich male acolyteŌĆÖ – and me a ŌĆśFox News democratŌĆÖ.
IŌĆÖve had enough of this. This is abuse substituting for argument. Anyway it is absurd to conflate Guyon Espiner, a journalist respected on all sides, with Paul HenryŌĆÖs history of raving racism.
Unless abuse is confronted it begins to define others on the left.┬Ā Read more »

April 15, 1469, three hours before dawn, the village of Talwandi, about forty miles south-west of Lahore, witnessed the birth of one of the greatest spiritual leaders of all times. When the child was born, a flash of light filled the home of father Mehta Kalu Chand Bedi and mother Tripta. And when he took his first breath, the child gently laughed like a saint.
Nanak was born into a society that was in the grip of religious orthodoxy and empty ritualism. Society was further crippled by infanticide, child marriage, subordination of women and a rigid caste system. A gifted child and deeply spiritual from an early age, Nanak amazed his teachers by quickly learning the alphabet and the scriptures. He was soon composing poems praising God. Before he entered his teens, Nanak started to question the traditional religious ceremonies and superstitions of people around him.
Believed to have attained enlightenment around the age of twenty-seven, Guru Nanak spent the next twenty-three years travelling as far as Sri Lanka, Tibet, Assam and Mecca to spread his message.
Guru Nanak and his teachings brought in a period of social change, and spiritual and religious enlightenment. His message was simple and based on ethics, social responsibility and, social justice. He asked his followers to worship one God, control worldly desires, treat everyone equally, work honestly, share with the less fortunate and serve the community. His followers were also to refrain from all forms of external piety and ritualism.
Guru Nanak was a divinely inspired poet. His teachings come to us in 974 hymns composed by him. This divine poetry is compiled in the Sikh holy book Sri Guru Granth Sahib and is considered the revealed word of God by his followers.
This is the first volume in the series of four books. It covers Guru Nanak's life from birth to until his enlightenment.

Getting Better With Age: Why Seniors Are More Satisfied
The perks of growing old, and how to feel better now.
But do we have to wait until our golden years to attain the wisdom for well-being? Nope.
Most people can benefit from a number of tactics to boost their satisfaction in life. Research has shown that performing positive acts such as writing letters of gratitude, counting one's blessings, performing acts of kindness, and meditating produce positive emotions, according to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor at the University of California—Riverside and author of The How of Happiness. She also suggests using variety to extend one's satisfaction with a practice, event, or even an object as we continually adapt to the various upgrades in our lives. So if you decide, for example, to make a positive change such as walking to work, then it's best to take different routes over time to sustain your satisfaction, she explains.
Carstensen suggests trying to live in the moment. When faced with life's daily hassles, find perspective by asking yourself this ultimate question, she says: "Is this going to matter on the last day of your life?"
[See Do You Have What it Takes to Live to 100?]
And meanwhile, know that, while every stage of life has its ups and downs, there is plenty to look forward to as we grow old. "There's something about being at an age where you know what you've been dealt in life—and it's OK—and you've found your love, and you've not only found your love, but you have your children and grandchildren," Carstensen says. And this brew of satisfaction is "richer and deeper and more complex than the emotions that a 12-year-old or a 20-year-old can ever imagine."
"The paradox of aging is that realizing you don't have all the time left in the world doesn't make you sad and miserable; it makes you live in the moment and be appreciative of the day," Carstensen says. "That's the secret to happiness," she adds, especially as we age.

Dual's cradle adds GPS to iPod Touch, boosts battery
For users who want to add GPS navigation to their iPod Touch, the Dual XGPS300 is a possible solution, if they can get over the sticker shock.
The Dual XGPS300 GPS Navigation & Battery Cradle is a double-purpose iPod Touch accessory, but its dual nature doesn't stop with its functionalities. For every pro that we found with the device, there was an equal and opposite con. Like flipping a coin, we kept coming up 50/50.
We liked that the XGPS300 increases the functionality of the iPod Touch by adding GPS and battery extender capabilities, but we weren't fans of the fact that the device makes users manually switch between those modes. We also liked that its battery extender makes the device useful even when you're not using its included NavAtlas app to get from point A to point B, but we didn't like the XGPS300's high price tag.
The list of praises and criticisms goes on and on, but do the pros outweigh the cons? Check out the full review of the Dual XGPS300 GPS Navigation & Battery Cradle for iPod Touch for the final score, more details, video, and photos.

Focus Electric off the line
The Ford Focus Electric is part of a wave of electric and hybrid-electric cars coming this year and next from all the major automakers and startups, too. Ford expects that the Focus Electric will get an EPA mileage rating of over 100 miles per gallon equivalent. This car will also have a range of around 100 miles and be able to add about 30 miles of range on one hour of charge. The Focus Electric is aimed very squarely at environmentally minded consumers because it is all-electric and has no tailpipe emissions. Inside, it has all sorts of green features, such as using plant-based and recycled materials. The company is already taking orders for the Focus Electric which will be available in a few regions first, including California and the New York City area. Rather than have a single electric model, Ford will make electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid versions available of some of its cars, a production strategy that gives it some flexibility.

Not all record days on the stock market are created equal.
Major U.S. indexes rose to all-time highs for the second day in a row Thursday, but the gains were driven by stocks that investors tend to buy when they want to avoid risk, such as power companies, banks and drug makers.
The flight to less-volatile stocks and those that pay bigger-than-average dividends suggested that investors are becoming more cautious after a 26 percent surge in the market this year. More investors are saying the market has risen too far, too fast given the sluggish state of the U.S. economy.
"The legion of people in the last three months who think this market has topped out has grown significantly," said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. However, Kinahan said the general tendency for the market is still to move higher.
Across the market, the most popular names were "defensive" stocks, ones that are seen as more likely to hold up in a downturn. Northeast Utilities, New England's largest utility, rose 2 percent. Oil refining company Valero Energy rose 4 percent and life insurance company MetLife increased 3 percent.
The Dow Jones utility index, which is made up of 15 large utility companies, rose 1 percent, double the gain in the broader market. On the flip side, small-company stocks, which are viewed as more risky than larger, more established companies, were the only major category of stocks to fall. The Russell 2000 index edged lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 54.59 points, or 0.4 percent, to 15,876.22, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index added 8.62 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,790.62. Both were record highs.
The Nasdaq composite edged up 7.16 points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,972.74.
Network equipment maker Cisco Systems plunged after predicting a slump in sales, pulling other large technology companies down. Cisco sank $2.63, or 11 percent, to $21.36, Hewlett-Packard lost $1.42, or 5 percent, to $25.07 and Oracle fell 62 cents, or 2 percent, to $34.38.
Cisco, which relies heavily on government contracts, said its revenue for the current quarter could fall as much as 10 percent from the same period a year ago. The company's chief executive, John Chambers, blamed budget gridlock in Washington, which resulted in a partial shutdown of the federal government for 16 days and a near-breach of the nation's borrowing limit.
"The shutdown, debt ceiling negotiations and delay of key decisions exasperated the lack of confidence among business leaders," Chambers said in a conference call with analysts.
Investors pay close attention to what Cisco says because it's considered a proxy for business spending on technology. Cisco manufactures equipment that makes up the backbone of the Internet such as routers and servers.
At least one investor felt that Wall Street was overreacting to Cisco's results.
"Everything seemed hunky-dory in tech and then Cisco comes out and says this ... it stands out to me as a little bit of anomaly," said Daniel Morgan, a portfolio manager at Synovus Trust Company, who focuses mostly on technology investments. "It's a concern, but I don't think this is a reason to rethink my whole strategy," he said. Cisco is still up 21 percent over the past year.
The market was also helped by news out of Washington, D.C.
Janet Yellen, who has been nominated to replace Ben Bernanke as the lead of the Federal Reserve, made no indication she would deviate from the economic stimulus policies that Bernanke has championed. The comments came during her testimony in front of the Senate Banking Committee.
When asked her opinion about the recent rally in stock prices, Yellen said stocks "are not in bubble territory."

I am a Proud Monthly APer and I tend to care less about what others think of me. They don't the reasons your an Monthly AP and they don't you or me personally what gives them the right to judge? I agree with Lost Boy.
I am a Proud Monthly APer and I tend to care less about what others think of me. They don't the reasons your an Monthly AP and they don't you or me personally what gives them the right to judge? I agree with Lost Boy.
Always read the fine print.
The original claim was that there was a bias against those on the payment plan. I stated that the only bias that I saw was against the plan itself.
It's simple economics. If you make a cheap affordable method to buy something that is in demand, more people will buy it. That is how the payment plans and lower level passes have opened this up to the masses.
I have a family of four. We all have premiere passes. We don't use the payment plan, but choose to do the responsible thing and set a little aside until it is time to renew. I refuse to have to pay a "Disneyland bill".
Not if you don't want to have another bill each month. I would rather set the money aside at my own pace until I have the $850/person to renew. It is a great feeling going when receiving that new card feeling like I earned something for my hard work.
"You can cut me off from the civilized world. You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates. You can torture me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer."
Not that I have a horse in this race but I would offer that sometimes the language used in these debates tend to point towards the participants and not solely the AP program itself.
Not accusing you of doing this but bolded the text in the quotes because I think it highlights some of what the OP is suggesting happens in these discussions.
For the record, I am a non-local Premium AP holder.

"The thing that makes us different is our way of thinking, our judgement and experience acquired over the years. Giving it 'heart.' Others haven't understood the public. We developed a psychological approach to everything we do here. We seem to know when to 'tap the heart.' Others have hit the intellect. We can hit them in an emotional way. Those that appeal to the intellect only appeal to a very limited group. Let's not let the mechanics get in here and foul the whole thing." -Walt Disney
Why is there dislike for monthly payment APers? Simple, it's easier to hate than to get to know someone. I'm not saying that the thought of "Curse those monthly payment APers" hasn't crossed my mind, but honestly I know some and they are great people. It crosses my mind when I'm just being stupid and ignorant. It probably does bring a small percentage of people into the park who shouldn't be there because they can't afford it. I can think of one person who I know personally who is single and she has four kids, hasn't had a job since I can't remember and I know a couple years ago had passes (lowest levels) for her and her kids. Then again I have friends who have Premium Passes and don't have kids and can afford them. I learned a great lesson from them as they were suppose to meet me one day last year at the park and when they showed up, they were told they were blocked out. Come to find out, their automatic payment didn't go through because of a screw up with their bank. My thinking is, if anyone has a problem with monthly APers, get to know some and their stories of why they are on the monthly plan. I save my money up for my pass and pay it at once, but that's just me and how I do it.
This is so spot on. Soooo spot on.
And...I hate to say this...but sometimes when I read the comments it sounds like a bit of class warfare to me, as if "local" is a euphemism for "those great unwashed working class plebians." Perhaps it's also a bit of not being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
The theme seems to be, "if you can't afford the pass at once, you shouldn't go." Besides the fact that a lot of people, even rich folks, pay for things on payment plans, this just ignores the economic reality that a lot of Southern Californians deal with.
Outside the Magic Kingdom in the O.C. and L.A., it is indeed the Tragic Kingdom for a lot of residents, and no, they don't have the amount for a pass to drop at once. No, that doesn't mean that they can't afford it; it means that it becomes affordable when they pay for it in installments, the same way you might pay for your country club, car payment, dance lessons, whatever.
I for one am glad that Disney makes it available.

I do not know why this subject affects me as it does. I just cannot find a valid reason for the bashing.
I have even received reputation points for having an opposing opinion. What?
I believe everyone has a right to go to the park and their fiscal/economic status is none of my business. If someone says they shouldn't because they can't afford it, how do they know and if they did, why is it their concern?
yikes. Yikes all around.
I have to reiterate that over the course of my membership with MiceChat, I have only seen one or two people actually say anything specifically about AP'ers. Most of the complaints are about the program.
When I was looking at the complaints about the AP'ers from previous threads and this one, the only people complaining about AP'ers... seem to be.. other AP'ers, or at least previously stated they were. I don't have an AP, I'm just a jealous little lady who really has no problem with any of you (and has yet to post anything on this subject.)

I have no problem with monthly pay AP'ers. What's the difference if one saves up $50 bucks over a year for an AP over one that pays $50 a month for one?
Doctor: We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And besides, that's not the plan.
River: There's a plan?
Doctor: I don't know. I haven't finished talking yet.
My two cents on monthly payment for annual passes:
- It does increase the crowding because it makes the premium AP more affordable to a larger number of people.
- It does complicate the administration of APs because now there is the situation where a guest can get behind in payments and the AP must be suspended until the payments are made. This can impact regular AP holders because the rules change on expiration boundaries. ( My AP expired and I had renewed via mail but they would not let me in until a lead could get to the turnstiles to "OK" my AP - Never happened to me before the monthly payment scheme came along)
- The monthly payment plan will continue as long as interest rates remain low. Once rates rise, and I am convinced they are going to rise, Disney will either drop this choice or they will pass the add an interest charge to this option. This is because, with higher interest rates, they can take the $649 and put it into an account that earns more interest than they can now.
- The monthly payment plan is an enticement to families and consumers who may not truly be able to afford annual passes - they will likely defer proper maintenance on their house or car or use money that ought to be put away for the education of their children in order to buy the premium annual pass. As we have seen, many consumers are not the most sophisticated money managers.

So, you have problems with folks that use layaway? The same folks that use layaway so they can buy their children presents for the holidays? Wow...the Grinch who stole Christmas....
As for the AP's and the overcrowding, That's Disney's fault and not the guest that is buying the pass. If Disney did not offer the monthly option then some folks would not get them plain and simple, but it's ludicrous to blame the consumer.
Doctor: We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And besides, that's not the plan.
River: There's a plan?
Doctor: I don't know. I haven't finished talking yet.
For my 2 cents as a former AP'er, my entire family held passes for years, 10+ people. My mom had a HUGE multipage record with dinner reservations all over the park and we spent alot of money there. When the financing began, Al put out some numbers that showed 200,000 AP'ers had grown to almost 1 million in less than a year. That's a hefty crowd increase on a daily basis. Added to that, just because a pass is blocked out doesn't mean you can't buy into that black out day for less than a standard day pass. So there has been a fair share of the Disneyland experience ruined by the huge increase of AP'ers including no "off-season" when many AP'ers enjoyed lessor crowds.
As for the "type" of people that finance AP's, I've heard many say that it has brought a less respectful crowd to the parks. WHen you have a privelege of having an AP (especially the upper priced ones) you do feel the park is kind of "yours" and you respect it and expect others to as well. I personally encountered a family with a toddler in line at Splash Mountain (low end pass holders) that allowed their child to urinate right there in the line and did nothing about it. The times I've been in the last 4 years since I let my pass lapse, it's always ridiculously crowded and I see people spitting anywhere they like, leaving dirty diapers on the ground, throwing trash anywhere and on some occasions just down right rude. That doesn't mean that financers are a bad group in general, but some are not what you used to find at Disneyland on a regular basis.
To that end, the financing program has ruined the experience for many loyal AP'ers from the past. I don't necessarily say its a bad group of people (every barrell has some bad apples, even non financers) but with the crazy AP and regular ticket price increases, you really do get a lesser experience overall.
Doctor: We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And besides, that's not the plan.
River: There's a plan?
Doctor: I don't know. I haven't finished talking yet.

About Me Breeder, Single Dog Owner

Comments about REI Dog Boots:
These boots look like they will last a reasonably long time. I purchased them to wear when there is snow and ice so the dogs pads will not cake up and cause discomfort. Also, to protect the pads from ice melt chemicals. They seem to go on well but they are a little too small, in my opinion, even though I carefully measured according to the instructions. we will have to wait and see when bad weather comes. Keep in mind that the hair of the foot will need to be kept trimmed especially between the pads and toe nails will need to be cut well in order to prevent soreness by pushing against the front of the boot even if they are large enough.My dog is an English Springer Spaniel. It was comical watching her prance around in them, she did not try and take them off.

Make sure your dogs will tolerate boots
By Hikewyrdog
from Missoula, MT
About Me Multiple Dog Owner
Seemed like a good product because my dog accompanies me on many long hikes and sometimes gets tender paws. Unfortunately, despite many tries and much encouragement, my dog would not tolerate the boots and removed them: either pulling them off with his teeth or shaking them off. And this is a dog that handles other hiking gear without a hitch - doggie backpack, gopro, etc.Would recommend this product if you have a chance to try them first, or borrow a set from a friend.

Perfect to keep the bandage dry
By Kyle the Mom
from Conifer CO
About Me Single Dog Owner
We bought the booties for our visiting dog. He was licking his feet till they were raw. Sending him outside was only irritating them. One paw was so bad we needed to put a sock on it to let it heal. Problem CO winter weather and a cotton sock. It breathed when it was in the house but got soaking wet and muddy outside. Using the bootie was perfect. We could leave the sock on but put the booite on when he went outside and take it off when he came in to let the foot get air and heal.

Not bad
By ShanaGail
from Phoenix
I have a 95 lb Ridgeback so I got the XL. They fit her perfectly. Not a bad shoe. Remember there is no traction on this shoe so it is best for normal walking outside. I tried to put socks on my dogs feet then the shoes but the velcro around the ankles wasn't tight enough to keep the socks up so they bunched in the shoe. She stepped in a mud puddle and they got full of mud and water since the top doesn't get tight. She can't run in them again because the ankle doesn't get tight enough to stay up were it should be and the shoe sags.

Bad sizing chart
By GatorMonkey
from Vancouver, BC
bought these for my Vizsla, I sized his paws according to the sizing chart. He is 2.5' wide and 3.5' long while standing, yet the S size won't even go on his paw!The widest part of the S boot is just over 2'.The boots look good, and the price is right, but I never got a chance to try them.

Why Blend? itslearning Brings Blended Learning to Students Around the World
BIRMINGHAM, England, June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –
With the rise of online technology, the classroom has changed – and one of the biggest
changes is blended learning. But what is blended learning? And how is it different from
what you've done before?
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
A hot topic in education, blended learning is a mix of traditional face-to-face
teaching and online learning. As schools adopt digital learning platforms, teachers want
to know how to use them efficiently. They are turning to blended learning approaches for
the answer.
"Blended learning is both simple and complex. At its simplest, blended learning is the
thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experiences with online learning
experiences," says itslearning [http://www.itslearning.co.uk ] education researcher and
former teacher Morten Fahlvik.
"Blended learning is performing or conducting your teaching in a unified classroom -
the combination of the physical classroom and the virtual classroom. You use the
traditional learning space and then you add something to it," he explains. "Most teachers
look at the two dimensions of blended learning – the physical and virtual classroom – as
two separate things."
The physical school and virtual world
Blended learning involves students learning in different locations, whether at school,
at home or somewhere in between. In most cases, face-to-face teaching happens at school
and online learning happens at home. But schools and teachers blur these lines. For
Blended learning is mostly about planning and conduction teaching utilizing the
unified classroom. It does not need to be technically advanced; it is more about the
pedagogy that lies underneath. A teacher gives the students a task in class. This could be
a question, something to read, etc… The students also get the same task in the learning
platform and the homework is to work with this question/problem. The important part is
that the teacher brings the student work into the teaching in the classroom.
The process can be illustrated like this, but we need to add the unified classroom
About itslearning
Designed for teachers and how they want to teach, itslearning is a cloud-based
learning platform that connects teachers, students, parents and school leaders – both in
and outside the classroom. It gives teachers countless ways to create engaging lessons and
resources, makes sharing materials easy, and automates routine tasks so teachers have more

A cloud-based platform that's easy to set up and maintain, itslearning is used by

be found at all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, helping
teachers make education more inspiring and valuable for today's students.

Rhino case: Thai gets 40-year sentence in SAfrica
Friday - 11/9/2012, 10:20am  ET
JOHANNESBURG (AP) - A South Africa court has sentenced a Thai national to 40 years in prison for selling rhino horns.
The magistrate handed down the sentence down Friday to Chumlong Lemtongthai who had pleaded guilty to 59 charges on Monday.
The South African Revenue Service says Lemtongthai was arrested in 2010 with five other suspects. Lemtongthai pleaded guilty to paying prostitutes who posed as hunters to harvest rhino horns, which were then sold on Asia's traditional medicine market, according to the South African Press Association.
South Africa is home to some 20,000 rhinos. Growing Asian demand for rhino horn is believed to be behind a poaching spike.
At least 458 of South Africa's endangered rhinos have been illegally killed this year.

I may be a minor exception to your no pvp gear rule...I have blue pve items at best (some greens); meanwhile my iLvl 410 PVP weapons and mostly Cataclysmic pvp gear (403) might actually be an improvement regardless of the resilience waste.
Quick question if I queue for regular (non heroic) dungeons are the queues long? As I know nothing about any of the encounters I'd like to start at the beginning.
