Prepared Remarks of Chairman Julius Genachowski, FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, League of United Latin American Citizens Legislative Conference
Prepared Remarks of Chairman Julius Genachowski
Federal Communications Commission
League of United Latin American Citizens Legislative Conference
Washington, D.C.
February 10, 2011
Thank you Margaret Moran, Brent Wilkes and everyone at LULAC for welcoming me here thisevening.
In particular, thank you for not scheduling me to speak after Daniel Hernandez. It's fun to bask
in the glow of a national hero, as long as you're not the person who has to follow him.
Congratulations to Daniel and to tonight's other honorees Senator Lugar, Resident
Commissioner Pierluisi, and State Representative Martinez-Fischer.
I'm honored to be joined by Secretary Ken Salazar as one of tonight's guest speakers.
You may be wondering why the head of the a technology agency is here tonight. It makes more
sense that most people would realize.
At its core, LULAC's mission is to promote equal opportunity.
In our 21st century digital economy, broadband high-speed Internet is the great equalizer
giving every American with an Internet connection access to a world of new opportunities that
might previously have been beyond their reach.
That's why LULAC hosted a session on broadband as part of this conference.
That's why LULAC has built a network of 60 state-of-the art technology centers in Latino
communities across the country.
And that's why LULAC is a partner to One Economy's Digital Connectors program an
initiative that teaches young people digital skills, and in return, these individuals are asked to
train people in their communities.
In 2009, I had a chance to visit a Digital Connectors site: Valencia Gardens, a public housing
project in the Mission District of San Francisco.
I met kids who were participating in the program were beaming with hope and optimism. With
their digital skills, they felt empowered and ready to take on the world.
On the flip side, they told me about their neighbors who were being left behind people who
didn't know how to get online and others who didn't even care to try.
In many ways, Valencia Gardens offers a snapshot of the broadband landscape.
High-speed Internet is reshaping our lives more profoundly than any technology since electricity,
but too many Americans are being bypassed by the broadband revolution. Roughly one-third of
Americans have not adopted broadband, and certain communities, including Latinos, are
disproportionately likely to be on the wrong side of the digital divide. About half of Hispanics
are online, but only 20% of non-English speaking Americans are connected.
Why is it so urgent that we close this digital divide? I'll give you two reasons.
First, connecting all Americans is essential to our economic growth and our global
We're not going to create the jobs of the future--in the near-term and the long-run--unless we
connect all Americans.
Second, we need to close the digital divide because the costs of digital exclusion are rising.
Broadband is essential to economic opportunity. Job listings are moving exclusively online.
Increasingly, if you're not connected you can't find a job.
Consider small businesses. If a business doesn't take advantage of the Internet's capacity to
reach more customers and improve efficiency, it can't compete with those who do.
Broadband is essential to educational opportunity. More and more, students need to go online to
complete their homework assignments and parents rely on email to communicate with teachers.
At the FCC, we got a letter from the mother of a 17-year-old girl in Alachua County, Florida
who's doing her homework in the parking lot of the local library at night, because her family
can't get broadband at home and the library's hot spot is her only option.
Broadband is essential to health care opportunities. Broadband enables potentially life-saving
remote monitoring technologies for people with diabetes or heart disease, but you need a high-
speed connection to take advantage.
Broadband is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for full participation in the 21st century
economy and society.
That's why we at the FCC developed the National Broadband Plan, an ambitious strategy to
build a world-class broadband infrastructure that brings the benefits of high-speed Internet to all
I want to thank LULAC for participating in the development of the plan and suggesting concrete
Now is not the time or place to give a detailed talk about the Plan and the FCC's agenda. While
my remarks tonight and the entire national broadband plan have been translated into Spanish, the
more typical request for my policy statements is that they be translated into English.
But let me give you a high-level overview of what we're working on.
For starters, we're working hard to close the broadband adoption gap, pursuing initiatives like a
Digital Literacy Corps.
I'll also note that in connection with the recently approved Comcast/NBC Universal merger,
Comcast has committed to making high-speed internet available to approximately 2.5 million
low-income households for less than $10 a month.
Second, we're working to close the broadband deployment gap.
To connect the 24 million Americans couldn't even get broadband service if they wanted it,
we're modernizing the Universal Service Fund. USF brought phone service to all corners of the
country in the 20th century. We're fixing it so it can deliver broadband in the 21st.
Anchor institutions are a vital gateway to the Internet, so we're updating our E-Rate program,
which connects schools and libraries, giving participants flexibility to open their facilities to their
broader communities.
Third, we're working to unleash spectrum -- the invisible infrastructure that sustains our mobile
Few areas hold greater promise for new innovations that will create jobs and improve our quality
of life than mobile broadband. And mobile is now the primary gateway to the Internet for many
Americans, especially low-income Americans. But demand for spectrum will soon outstrip the
That's why we're pursuing a strong multi-part agenda to unleash more spectrum for broadband.
Finally, we're working to make sure small businesses can take advantages of the opportunities
broadband offers.
The FCC is working with the Small Business Administration to create public/private partnerships
to improve broadband education and training for small and diverse businesses.
We've also revitalized the FCC's Office of Communications Business Opportunities. The Office
has held "speed dating" sessions to bring together entrepreneurs and capital, and is working to
use technology to provide tools and information to small businesses on how to access capital.
I'd like to close with a brief story.
Last year, I went to the Bronx with Congressman Jose Serrano. We visited a center that trained
area residents to use new technologies. At a meeting with a group of people who'd participated
in their programs, I asked the group a question: "What does broadband mean to you?"
A man named Irvin Aviles stood up. Irvin said he had lost his job at age 47, and had no prospects
for getting a new one. But then he got information technology training, and this training helped
him get a job at Time Warner Cable.
He said that, to him, "Broadband means broad opportunity."
That's what the FCC's work on broadband is all about. That's what LULAC's work is all about.
I look forward to working with LULAC to seize the opportunities of broadband and bring the
benefits of high-speed Internet to all Americans.
Gracias and Buenos Noches.

Hello I liked to be called IDGY. I'm a sketch artist that loves to draw cartoons and comics. My goal is to become an animator or even a comic book artist when I grow up. My blog is mostly the things I find pretty rad, like art, history, culture, and good TV shows or movies. In general, I like to blog on things that make me smile
And every now and then I post some of my own drawings and doodles on here for you guys to enjoy them as much as I do. Most of them are things I like to draw from my imagination, fan art, or even from my stories.
I love animated films, people like Disney and Miyazaki inspire me. I'm quite fond of classic books and black and white films. My favorite video games are the Assassin's Creed series, Uncharted series, the Bioshock series and the Last of Us. I love listening to music though the bands i listen to constantly is WoodKid, Mumford and Sons, Bastille, Coldyplay, Imagine Dragons, and 30 Seconds to Mars.
I try my best to make this blog express myself and stay on the positive side of things in the world . Hope you guys like my blog and my creations

Ladies, promise us you won't scream because here at MuchMusic, our eardrums are still in recovery from when we surprised forty of the biggest One Direction fans with an appearance from the U.K. boys (you can re-live NML Presents: One Direction Revealed here.) Ready? One Direction's Niall Horan has revealed that he sometimes likes to go commando. And by "commando", we mean without underwear.
Why, Niall? Why would you want to tell the millions of girls who want to get into your pants this information? Niall explains, "Do I always wear pants? Well, yeah but then I like to go free and easy from time to time." Niall has also expressed wanting to dye his hair darker which, to the relief of many Horan fans, Simon Cowell has vetoed that idea.
On the bright side, the likelihood of Niall finding his underpants on eBay is probably very slim… or he just upped the bounty on his undies.
Watch One Direction again and again in the video for What Makes You Beautiful and tell us if you think we should send Niall a care package of fresh undies in the mail in the comments section below.

Hold up, buddy.
"We're Pirates. We don't follow the rules."
This weapon is an Assault Rifle that can be dropped by the badass pirate No-Beard in the town of Oasis (Captain Scarlett's DLC).
This assault rifle has incredible damage, yet comes with a small twist. Although the accuracy is usually rated +/- 95%, the bullets have a mind of their own. Long shots with this rifle are almost impossible, as the bullets have a chance of making a complete 90 degree turn after flying only a few feet out of the barrel of the rifle. It is for this reason that this gun is best used for CQB, kind of like a shotgun.

I don't even know what to say about this. It's a jean skirt that you put your mouse and mousepad into.

I was invited to speak at a gathering on Monday, and to be honest I was shocked. Not being asked to speak, mind you, but rather by what I heard when I got there.
The person who gave the introduction told the audience that I wrote stories – stories about childhood before dodgeball was banned. His introduction almost made me speechless. So much so, I changed the title of this story. Read More»
I saw an old friend the other day. Although his face now sports mostly gray hair, it was still a familiar one to me.
For you see, he and I have known one another for what has seemed like a lifetime. Even though we're years apart in age, we have an unspoken bond, one that goes beyond words, and one time can't erase.
Growing up at 110 Flamingo Street, Dad taught us many lessons – lessons that, if we were wise enough to follow, would make our lives easier. One of the most important: if you don't have anything to say, don't say anything at all. Read More»
That's right; I'm delving into the world of politics. Since the Bozos we now have in Washington are doing such a stellar job, I figured it was about time someone who knows really how to run things got into office.
That person is not Gingrich, Romney, or even the current occupant of the White House. Nope, none of them get my vote. This year, I'm voting for Mom. And by the end of this article, you'll agree. Read More»
Whether they recognize it or not, everyone has moments of clarity in their lives. One of the first I can remember was in Old Mrs. Crabtree's third-grade class at Mt. Olive Elementary School.

By the time she had called, the purple hue of coming night had already stretched far across the cloudless sky. Stars dotted above provided little light for the lone car in the parking lot and its lone occupant.
She got out and started to check under the hood just as a stiff winter wind blew her coat open, chilling her to the bone. She thought better of it. Climbed back in and locked the door. The second call ended with the same results – no answer.
She blew out the breath she was holding, "Married to a firefighter, but when I need rescuing, where is he?" Read More»
What's for breakfast around our house? Me, I like oatmeal, but I'm not on a diet and I'm not fat. I'm a little pudgy, but I'm not fat.
Just so happens that I've liked oatmeal ever since growing up at 110 Flamingo Street. Back then, slinging spoonfuls of the hot stuff and watching it stick to one of my brothers made eating breakfast actually fun, and I'm not alone. One of greatest men in this country simply loved to start the day off right with a steamy bowl of the hot oats. Read More»
No one would think about spring cleaning on the first day of January. No one, that is, except The Wife.
After 13 wonderful years of marriage, I've come to expect the unexpected. But even I was surprised at where I found her that afternoon.
Still knee deep in her closet, with filled and yet-to-be filled bags around her, she looked up and smiled, "Sometimes the only way to get rid of stuff that bugs you is just to bag it up and throw it away."
Okay, stop laughing – she wasn't talking about me. Read More»
What can I say about another year gone by that hasn't already been said? I could write about how our 401k's have now all been turned into 201k's. Or how every time someone in Europe sneezes, our stock market drops to yet another new yearly low.
Or how because those folks in Washington keep acting like children and can't agree on how to run things, homes are now worth about half what they were at the beginning of this year.
I could write about all that stuff. But then again, it wouldn't make for a very happy column, now would it? Read More»
It's been over 45 years since I'd seen them. Toys like the ones I played with while growing up at 110 Flamingo Street have long been gone from store shelves.
Gone are balsa wood aeroplanes, the Slinky and jacks. No one plays with jacks anymore. Alas, jacks have gone the way of dominoes and pick-up-sticks. Windup toys are even a thing of the past.
Toys now run off batteries – toys that'll be outdated and discarded in less than six months. Not so with toys of old. Jacks last forever. Read More»
The fruitcake has somehow gotten a bad reputation, and it's time once and for all to put an end to it — the bad reputation, not the fruitcake.
The multi-colored mixed fruit and nut concoction is indeed a holiday treat for some, a gag gift to others, and — to the very young — a food item to be avoided at all cost. Some even say there have been only a few thousand fruitcakes ever produced; they just keep getting passed around from one family to the next. Read More»

Several aspects come with each other when it comes to buying furniture. A lot of men and women do not consider about all of them till soon after they currently have a considerable quantity of furniture. They run into a dilemma. They do not know how to arrange all of the furniture they have bought. Other individuals run into this dilemma with no acquiring any furniture. Some men and women inherit furniture or they are provided furniture as a present.
It can be rather the process to arrange Many furniture. A fantastic spot to start out is to consider about colors. Obtaining a neon green sofa with a plaid yellow couch in the similar Space is in all probability a terrible notion. That is in particular correct if the Area is painted blue. This is, of course, assuming that an eclectic, strange appear is not the target.
It is substantial to group with each other furniture with a same palette. This does not imply that all of the furniture ought to match specifically. It is okay to combine black and white or a strong with a pattern. Anything should flow well collectively although. The only individual who can decide how nicely it flows is the 1 arranging the furniture. If none of the colors function effectively collectively, placing new fabric onto the current furniture may well be the excellent alternative.
The subsequent consideration is the size of the furniture. Placing a sectional to add a lot more seating in a bedroom is really seldom sensible. The biggest rooms must have the biggest furniture. The rooms exactly where individuals hang out the most need to have the most seating. It must be oriented in a way to concentrate on what is considerable. For some households, the furniture have to be focused on the tv for film evening. Other households may well want it focused on the fireplace to get cozy for the duration of the cold seasons. The Area will make a lot more sense if there is a focal point. It will also make much more sense with some flow. No a single desires to jump more than the furniture inside of a Area!
These two aspects will support make arranging furniture less complicated. There rather is a really logical pattern to producing a Space appear its ideal. Furniture is superb to have, but it all have to be used appropriately. Often, significantly less is additional with furniture. It is greater to have an open Area with much less seating than a cluttered Area exactly where folks consider uncomfortable. Arranging the furniture in an open way can make all of the distinction in the planet.

This simple optical illusion makes a tree look like it's floating
A tree in Potsdam, Germany, looks like it has been cut in two, with the top hovering over the trunk, and it's thanks to a simple but clever artistic technique.
A tree in Potsdam, Germany, looks like it has been cut in two, with the top hovering over the trunk, and it's thanks to a simple but clever artistic technique.
The man in the photo is Michael Paul Smith, but he is no giant. For 25 years he's been building remarkably lifelike dioramas of a fictional, mid-20th-Century American town called Elgin Park using meticulously crafted model cars, a card table and a $200 point-and-shoot camera. That's right – the cars in this photo are…
Chilean-born street artist Dasic specializes in large-scale outdoor pieces. Above, he's used the underside of a bridge to craft a vibrant, dreamlike scene – but you have to be in just the right spot to see it.
The long week is finally over, and you've worked hard. You deserve a magic trick of the highest caliber. Here you go.
2012 was a pretty epic year for visual trickery. We stared through telescopes, transfixed by Venus' cosmic trick of the light; gaped in disbelief at a Rubik's Cube that wasn't; and watched with morbid curiosity as celebrities transformed into grotesque mutations of their former selves.
The best optical illusions are often the ones we happen upon unintentionally, which is exactly what happened when redditor Liammm decided that water circling the drain of his sink would make for a nice photographic subject.
This optical illusion is a fairly simple one, but it's still a very impressive effect. A triangle and some cunningly positioned diagonal lines are all that's needed for your brain to tilt a perfect level rectangle completely off-kilter.
At first glance, this looks like a poster for Harry Potter, but is there something more going on? These posters illustrate famous stories with minimalist images, but hide a second story inside.
In my eternal quest to find a massive optical illusion to rival the famous Face of Mars, we may have finally found a winner. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Elephant of Mars, as spotted by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
It's not unusual for optical illusions to create afterimages, ghostly reflections that show up after staring at something too long. This particular afterimage is a bit different. For one thing, it looks nothing like the original image. Also, it moves.
Apparently this take on the Rubin's vase illusion has been bouncing around for awhile, but it's a fun visual trick. And, as a commenter on CBR noted, "Wolverine or two Batmen" is plotline of The Prestige.
This beautiful image is an up-close look at one of the universe's best examples of pareidolia: the Seagull Nebula, also known as the Parrot Nebula or Eagle Nebula, depending on your ornithological preference. Point is, this is one gargantuan bird.
If you can't spot it in the image up top, try clicking through for the hi-res. You'll know it when you see it.
You've probably seen this optical illusion before, in which two lines of identical length appear to be different by adding opposite-facing arrows to them. It's a very powerful effect - so much so that it overwhelms all other visual information.
The sky above this Singapore hotel seems perfectly normal...but then something weird starts happening in the clouds. They suddenly change shapes, brighten and dim, and seem to pulsate for no apparent reason. This strange phenomenon has baffled scientists...until now.
Optical illusions just keep getting more extreme. We once examined an optical illusion in which a silhouetted figure spins in different directions depending on how you look at it. Here's the sequel, which is four times the optical illusion craziness.
Carbon nanotubes are at last doing something cool. Scientists have figured out how to use the "mirage effect" to completely make an object disappear. The effect uses the tubes and it only works underwater.
Remember the scene in Gattaca where Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's characters go to a piano concert featuring music that can only be performed by a pianist with extra fingers? Well, the song the pianist plays is called "Impromptu for 12 fingers," and in case you hadn't noticed, the guy pictured up top would be all over…
Who doesn't love tree rings? Nobody, that's who. That fact alone should be reason enough to appreciate this beautiful poster by Gary, Aaron & Khairul. But look a little closer and you'll find an entirely new reason to love this lithograph print, which is aptly titled Tree of Life.

Panda in the cloud
When it originally debuted, Panda Cloud Antivirus was notable as a free security solution for two reasons: Panda traded on its reputation as a solid security suite vendor making its first foray into the realm of freeware, and the program attained its goal of freeing up system resources by putting much of the program's heavy lifting in the cloud. Now we can add a third reason to the list: it's now known as an effective alternative to the security powerhouses.

The blower has good vibration isolation and comfortable handles. It moves debris well, if not exceptionally. Dislikes: We didn't have trouble with the gap between the bevel gear and the line head, but it looks vulnerable.

Title: | Descriptive epidemiology of central nervous system germ cell tumors: nonpineal analysis |
Author(s): | Villano, J. L.; Virk, Irim Y.; Ramirez, Vanessa; Propp, Jennifer M.; Engelhard, Herbert H.; McCarthy, Bridget J. |
Subject(s): |
brain tumor
germinoma |
Abstract: | Central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCT) have not been epidemiologically well described. Our study describes 2 population-based series of nonpineal CNS GCT. Data on all primary (malignant and nonmalignant) CNS (ICD-O-3 sites: C70.0–C72.9, C75.1– C75.3) GCT diagnosed between 2000 and 2004 from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) and on all malignant GCT diagnosed between 1992 and 2005 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) were analyzed. Of 234 nonpineal GCT in CBTRUS, the most common site was brain, NOS (31.6%). Males had a greater frequency (59.7%) than females (40.3%). However, by age group, the male-to-female incidence rate ratio (IRR) differed: children (0–14 years) had an IRR of 1.1, young adults (15–29 years) an IRR of 2.3, and adults (aged 301) an IRR of 1.0. For children and young adults, most tumors were malignant (86.8% and 89.0%, respectively), whereas for adults, more than half were nonmalignant (56.8%). Germinoma was the most frequent diagnosis (61.5%). In SEER, the frequency of malignant GCT in the CNS (2.5%) was greater than that in the mediastinum (2.1%). Of 408 malignant CNS GCT, 216 (52.9%) were nonpineal. The male-to-female IRR was 1.5. Overall relative survival for nonpineal CNS malignant GCT was 85.3% at 2 years, 77.3% at 5 years, and 67.6% at 10 years. Previous studies of GCT that have not stratified by site have suggested greater gender disparity. Nonpineal CNS GCT show no significant gender preference, yet have outcomes similar to pineal GCT. |

Women You Can Easily Bed - Part III
Click here for more on The Player's Guide and learn how to seduce the ladies.
Apparently, there are 51 females for every 49 males on Earth, which means that men should be able to pick and choose partners at will. But even with math on their side, guys still find themselves grovelling for female attention and striking out more often than they hit. All this dating and rejection can be hard on the ego and the pocketbook.
Luckily, I've put together yet another scouting report — to follow up on part 1 and part 2 of this article — that will help you narrow down the field and bump up your average considerably. You still have to get out there and take your hacks, but consider these girls the ultimate slump-busters.
9 - The Tourist
New York attracts millions of tourists each year, and why shouldn't it? Mixed in with all the camera-toting Japanese and awe-struck yokels is a growing cadre of backpackers from all over the world. They are young, liberal and looking for a good time. That, my friends, is a recipe for a memorable night at the hostel.I am speaking from experience. When I was in school, I experimented with different photo effects by shooting the throngs in front of the Museum of Natural History. A cute little French-Canadian girl, who proudly wore the maple leaf on her backpack, spotted me and started asking me a lot of questions about photography in wonderfully broken English. Somehow, our mutual flirtations made it through the language barrier and things soon turned in an entirely different direction. "You would like to shoot me in the nude?" she asked. There were a couple of other things I wanted to do to her in the nude, so we headed back to my studio.
Who is the Tourist?
She takes a year off from school and goes out to see the world. So, she's daring and curious, and shows obvious signs of adventurousness. It isn't much of a stretch to assume her wanderlust also extends into the bedrooms of foreign lands. An added bonus is the finite length of the relationship. She has to move on eventually, so you need not worry about getting tied down. Instead, offer to act as her personal tour guide while she is in town to make this international union a distinct possibility.
Conversion rating: 6/10
10 - The Unhappy Girlfriend
When love is on the rocks, most girls start looking for a new captain to steer their ship back into the calm seas of love. If you find yourself suddenly acting as the sounding board for a girl whose relationship is heading toward disaster, you have to work hard to not end up in bed with her. It's an arrangement in which everyone is looking for something. She's looking for a shoulder to cry on or a guy to give her a different perspective on things; you're looking to get a little action. Keep your eyes open for these sure scores…

- "Uh-oh."
- ―Vilmarh Grahrk upon seeing an HMP
The HMP (Heavy Missile Platform) droid gunship, also simply known as the droid gunship, Separatist gunship, or HMP Predator, was deployed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) relatively late in the Clone Wars and was based on the design of the older Mechanized Assault Flyer. A shielded missile platform, the gunship was designed for air strikes in planetary atmospheres. Though the ship was slower and less maneuverable than smaller fighters, it made up in its heavy and powerful arsenal. HMPs were armed with two laser cannon turrets one medium laser cannon, two light laser cannons, and 14 missiles. The gunship was able to carry a large variety of ordnance ranging from concussion bombs to torpedoes and electromagnetic pulse missiles.
Heavy Missile Platforms were developed by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance and Haor Chall Engineering for the Separatist Droid Army in response to the success of the Grand Army of the Republic's Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunship. The gunships saw their first major Clone Wars action around 20 BBY when four of them were deployed on the planet Onderon to fight off an army of rebels. The HMPs would later be used to escort General Grievous and a boarding party to the Republic Navy's Negotiator. The gunships would again be used during the Battle of Kashyyyk in 19 BBY. After the Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire that same year, the armies of the CIS were deactivated. However, a Geonosian named Gizor Dellso used one of these gunships to board an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer during the Battle of Mustafar. It was destroyed by the stormtroopers of the 501st Legion.
The HMP (Heavy Missile Platform) droid gunship, often referred to as "droid gunship,"[1] "Separatist gunship,"[9] or "HMP Predator,"[10] was a heavily-shielded aerial missile platform. Units ranged in length from 12.3 meters[1] to 18.2 meters[2] and were eleven meters wide and 3.1 meters tall. Droid gunships sold for 60,000 new and 30,000 used. On either side of the gunship's nose were large spheres. These spheres, which could freely rotate both vertically and horizontally, housed a number of important systems including the targeting scanners, targeting sensor ports, and capacitors that were used to accumulate energy for the two medium laser cannons that were mounted on the spheres. Between the two spheres were moving mandibles, a rotating mount for a medium cannon mounted on the gunship's chin, and inductors that supplied power to the sphere cannons through ball socket gaps. On top of the nose were two photoreceptor eyes, long-range sensor ports, the processor for the sensors and antennae, the portside targeting processor, and the starboard deflector shield generator. On the side of the nose were the fuel tanks that were exposed in order to keep radioactive fuel particles from damaging systems located under the ship's shell.[1]
The rear of the ship was composed of a large disc. Inside the disc were the power cells, the inner support frame, repulsorlift generator, fuel pumps, and the repulsor projector grid that applied the ship's anti-gravitational lift. On the outside of the disc were the ion drive thrusters, located in grooves on the disc surface, the cooling radiator, the waste gas vent, the shield projector, and a sponsorship emblem of Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries. In the center of the disc was the ship's reactor core, and on the front of the disc were the ship's binocular range finders used to aid in long-range spacial sense and missile guidance. On the right and left sides of the disc were modular wings that could be removed or equipped with an explosive payload.[1]
The HMP's repulsorlift would steadily drive the gunship in flight, allowing for stable shooting in battle. The gunship ran off an especially superdense radioactive fuel supplied by Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries.[1] The gunships were also equipped with ray shields and vocabulators. BX-series droid commandos were capable of riding on and using the gunships as firing platforms.[11] The gunship also had a variant capable of short space travel.[8] The HMP had a maximum acceleration of 100G and could reach atmospheric speeds of up to 14,200 kilometers per hour[1] or fifty megalights per hour (MGLT).[5] The ship was not equipped with a hyperdrive.[3]
Designed for air strikes in planetary atmospheres, the droid gunship compensated for its sluggish airspeed with a powerful arsenal of weaponry. An HMP gunship's standard weapons configuration consisted of two laser cannon turrets, one medium laser cannon, two light laser cannons, and 14 missiles. The gunship's modular wings allowed the HMP to carry a wide variety of ordnance, from concussion bombs and torpedoes to electromagnetic pulse missiles. Seven missile launchers were located on either side of the gunship's main body, below the large aft-mounted disc housing the reactor core. The ships could also be fitted with droid deployment racks for insertion and extraction into heavy combat area.[6]
- "Your gunships have failed!"
- ―Sanjay Rash to General Kalani after the Separatist defeat on Onderon
Heavy Missile Platform gunships were developed late during the Clone Wars[6] by Haor Chall Engineering[2] and Baktoid Fleet Ordnance for the Separatist Droid Army in response to the enormous success of the Grand Army of the Republic's Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry (LAAT/i).[12] Local dictators like Ado Eemon were often contracted to add to the production of the HMP and were usually supplied with a small percent of the production run, which was used to supplement their personal forces and help enforce their own rule.[1]
The gunships made their first appearance in battle around 20 BBY[7] when a quartet of gunships were deployed under the command of super tactical droid General Kalani on the planet Onderon to defeat an army of rebels that had gathered in the highlands. Although they were able to kill many rebels, they were all shot down after the rebels received a shipment of missile launchers delivered by the pirate Hondo Ohnaka and paid for by Anakin Skywalker. A crashed gunship, though, used its last energy to kill the rebel leader Steela Gerrera by shooting at Ahsoka Tano who was attempting to use the Force to save Steela from a cliff's edge. General Kalani evacuated the remaining Separatist forces from the planet after the defeat.[11] During an attack on the starfleet of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, droid gunships were used to deploy battle droids in an effort by General Grievous to board the Negotiator, Kenobi's flagship. The ship self-destructed, however, as Kenobi and the surviving clones evacuated via escape pods.[13] The gunships were also used by the Separatists during the Battle of Kashyyyk in 19 BBY.[14] One gunship shot down the starship Inferno owned by the Devaronian smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk. The Inferno crashed into water, but the gunship was destroyed as it was moving in to finish the ship off.[15] The battle resulted in a defeat for the droid army.[14] Directly after the end of the Clone Wars, a HMP was used by the Geonosian Gizor Dellso's droid forces to board an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer during the Battle of Mustafar. It was destroyed, along with the droids, by the stormtroopers of the 501st Legion.[8]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Heavy Missile Platform resembles an early concept of the Republic gunship unused for Attack of the Clones. The head of the HMP also closely resembles that of the early concept design of the AT-AT.[source?]
In the 2005 video game Star Wars: Battlefront II, HMPs serve as the Separatist space transport unit, and for gameplay purposes are piloted by droid characters although other sources such as Star Wars: Complete Locations say the gunships have an integrated droid brain.
For Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the concept art was created by TJ Frame and based off the design of Trade Federation vessels from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. For the script of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season Five episode "Tipping Points," they were called "HMP Predators."[10]

Lindsay Lohan has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit over an ad which allegedly used her name and parodied her life for profit.
RELATED VIDEO: Lindsay Lohan sues E*Trade over ad
The "Mean Girls" actress is seeking $100 million in damages and compensation over the commercial for financial firm E-Trade, which depicts a baby girl called Lindsay as a boyfriend stealer and a "milkaholic", reports the New York Post.
The commercial shows a baby boy playing the stock market and apologizing to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before.

The baby girl then gets suspicious about a rival female baby, referring to her as "that milkaholic Lindsay."
Lohan filed a lawsuit on Monday at Nassau County Supreme Court over the ad, which debuted during the Super Bowl last month.
The actress' lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, claims Lohan's first name is just as recognizable as other single-word monikers used by stars such as Madonna and Cher.
Ovadia says, "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."
RELATED: Lindsay Lohan's DJ disaster
The lawyer alleges company bosses used Lohan's "name and characterization" without paying her or asking for her approval, thus violating her rights. Ovadia also insists the company has earned large profits from the promo because it would have been seen by millions of TV viewers watching the Super Bowl.
But chiefs at the advertising firm which created the commercial for E-Trade are dismissing the claims, insisting they chose the name Lindsay at random.
Chris Brown, a spokesperson for the Grey Group, says they "just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team."
Lohan is seeking $50 million in exemplary damages, as well as $50 million in compensation.
