Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council - European agencies – The way forward {SEC(2008) 323} /* COM/2008/0135 final */
[pic] | COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | Brussels, 11.3.2008 COM(2008) 135 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL European agencies – The way forward {SEC(2008) 323} COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL European agencies – The way forward (Text with EEA relevance) INTRODUCTION In recent years, using agencies to implement key tasks has become an established part of the way the European Union does its business. They have become part of the institutional landscape of the Union. Most Member States have taken the same path of using agencies to bring a different approach to precisely-defined tasks. There are various reasons for the growing use of agencies. They help the Commission to focus on core tasks, making it possible to devolve certain operational functions to outside bodies. They support the decision-making process by pooling the technical or specialist expertise available at European and national level. And the spread of agencies beyond Brussels and Luxembourg adds to the visibility of the Union. With the growth in the number of agencies, they perform a range of important tasks across a spread of policy areas. Significant resources are now devoted to agencies. As a result, it has become increasingly important to have clarity about their role, and about the mechanisms to ensure the accountability of these public bodies. The importance of agencies in the EU's administrative framework calls for a common understanding between the EU institutions of the purpose and role of agencies. At the moment, this common understanding is lacking. The establishment of agencies case by case – on a proposal from the Commission, but with the decision taken by the European Parliament and/or the Council of Ministers – has not been accompanied by an overall vision of the place of agencies in the Union. The lack of such a global vision has made it more difficult for agencies to work effectively and to deliver for the EU as a whole. The Commission considers that the time has come to re-launch a debate on the role of agencies and their place in the governance of the EU. A consistent political handling of the approach to agencies would promote the transparency and effectiveness of an important part of the EU's institutional machinery. ***** There are two broad types of agency, each with different characteristics and raising different issues. "Regulatory" or "traditional" agencies have a variety of specific roles, set out in their own legal basis, case-by-case[1]. Executive agencies are set up under a Council regulation adopted in 2002 with the much more narrowly defined task of helping to manage Community programmes[2]. These two types of agencies are very different. They have a different role, in terms of the tasks they are given, their independence and their governance. The fact that regulatory agencies are spread around the EU, whilst executive agencies are housed in Brussels or Luxembourg, is just the most obvious symbol of their very different relationship with the Commission. Not surprisingly, therefore, the two types of agencies give rise to different issues and need to be tackled differently. This communication will concentrate on regulatory agencies since this is where there is a need for clarification and a common approach. Executive agencies have a much clearer place in the Union's institutional framework, governed by a single legal base[3]. Working arrangements to govern executive agencies have recently been agreed with the European Parliament Committee on Budgets[4]. Their tasks must relate to the management of Community programmes, they are set up for a limited period, and they are always located close to Commission headquarters. The responsibility of the Commission for executive agencies is clear: the Commission creates them, maintains "real control" over their activity, and appoints the key staff. Their annual activity reports are annexed to the report from their parent Directorate-General. A standard financial regulation adopted by the Commission, governing the establishment and implementation of the budget, applies to all executive agencies. It is too early to make a general assessment of the success of the executive agencies. They were created only recently and have yet to be submitted to a full evaluation of their performance[5]. At the same time, the recent screening of resources by the Commission suggested that there are no strong candidates for a new executive agency[6]. If new needs appear, the starting point of the Commission will be to explore the option of extending the scope of an existing executive agency to cover a new programme. Under the current circumstances, it is unlikely that new executive agencies will be needed during the period of the current financial framework to 2013. In addition to agencies, the responsibility of the EU to stimulate research and economic development has led it to set up special partnership bodies . It has been recognised that to achieve some goals, the public sector needs to work in partnership with the private sector, providing funding and maintaining a voice but standing aside from key strategic decisions on direction. The result is innovative bodies such as joint undertakings like ITER for nuclear fusion and SESAR for air traffic management, the Joint Technology Initiatives under the 7th Framework Programme, and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. Arrangements for the financial and administrative governance of these bodies are governed by special rules under the Financial Regulation, and they are directly responsible to the discharge authority for budget implementation. Their raison d'être is explicitly to work differently to a normal "public sector" body: though supported by public funds, they should make decisions from the perspective of commercial edge or expertise. These are therefore not agencies, and are not covered by this communication. REGULATORY AGENCIES TODAY Regulatory agencies each have their own basic sectoral regulation, often adopted by co-decision[7]. They are sometimes called "traditional agencies", because of their long standing, and sometimes "decentralised agencies", because they are spread around Europe. They are independent bodies, with their own legal personality. Most are funded by the EU budget[8] – as well as, in some cases, by the direct receipt of fees or payments. The general Financial Regulation contains certain essential rules concerning in particular agencies' establishment plan, the application of the framework financial regulation for agencies, the consolidation of their accounts with those of the Commission, and the discharge by the European Parliament. In addition, the framework financial regulation lays down common rules governing the establishment and implementation of their budget, including control aspects. The 20 agencies funded from the EU budget receive budgetary discharge directly from the Parliament. With respect to human resources, the Staff Regulations define the principles permitting the establishment of a staff policy for agencies. In requiring agencies to adopt general provisions for implementing the Staff Regulations in agreement with the Commission, that Regulation aims at ensuring a consistent staff policy and avoiding unnecessary differences in approach among the agencies on recruitment processes and career prospects. However, there are no general rules governing the creation and operation of regulatory agencies. The first regulatory agencies, CEDEFOP (Vocational training) and EUROFOUND (Improvement of living and working conditions), were set up in 1975. During the 1990s, the deepening of the internal market led to a series of new agencies with roles more focused on tasks of a technical and/or scientific nature, such as authorisation of plant varieties and medicines. Extra tasks led to further agencies, offering opportunities for different Member States to host different agencies. There are currently 29 regulatory agencies, with proposals on the table for two others (see annex). Three of these are agencies under the Common Foreign and Security Policy, and three are agencies dealing with issues under Title VI of the EU Treaty on Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters. The regulatory agencies employ some 3800 staff, with an annual budget of around € 1 100 million, including a Community contribution of around € 559 million[9]. The agencies vary widely in size, from under 50 people monitoring plant varieties to over 600 in the agency monitoring trademarks. The roles of the regulatory agencies are very varied. Some can adopt individual decisions with direct effect, applying agreed EU standards; some provide additional technical expertise on which the Commission can then base a decision and some focus more on networking between national authorities. Agencies have proved particularly relevant in field of shared competences, when the implementation of new policies at Community level needs to be accompanied by close cooperation between the Member States and the EU. The establishment of agencies can make possible a pooling of powers at EU level which would be resisted if centred on the institutions themselves. Finally, these agencies have played a role in helping certain third countries become more familiar with the EC acquis and best practices. Candidate countries have been participating in Community agencies since 2000[10], and this possibility has since been extended to the Western Balkan countries and the partner countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy. There are clear and strict limits to the autonomous power of regulatory agencies in the current Community legal order. Agencies cannot be given the power to adopt general regulatory measures. They are limited to taking individual decisions in specific areas where a defined technical expertise is required, under clearly and precisely defined conditions and without genuine discretionary power. In addition, the agencies cannot be entrusted with powers which may affect the responsibilities which the Treaty has explicitly conferred on the Commission (for example, acting as the guardian of Community law). For agencies playing a role in preparing or taking decisions, one of the goals has been to give those decisions extra credibility and authority: with agencies helping to demonstrate that decisions are based on technical/scientific grounds. This requires the agencies to take decisions on the basis of reliable information and expertise, making transparency and scientific competence essential requirements. It also creates a challenge, with the need to balance this technical dimension of agencies with the need for all public bodies to be properly accountable. Regulatory agencies are usually governed by a Management Board responsible for ensuring that the agency performs the tasks set out in its basic act, with a Director appointed to ensure the operational working of the agency. The Management Board normally nominates the Director and has authority over the agency's work programme, budget and annual report. There are different rules on the size and composition of the Management Board, but though the Commission is normally represented, it is always in a minority, sometimes even without the right to vote. This raises issues about the extent to which the Commission can be held accountable for decisions taken by agencies. The issue of accountability is complicated by the Commission's involvement in other aspects of agencies' work – which can include producing a shortlist of names for the Director of an agency, being consulted on work programmes, and conducting evaluations. In addition, the Commission's internal auditor performs the same role in respect of agencies as for Commission departments[11]. The need for clear lines of accountability to govern agencies' actions is at the core of the debate about agencies. Questions have also been raised about particular aspects of the relations between other institutions and agencies, including the role of the European Parliament in the appointment of Directors and the roles and responsibilities of Management Board members nominated to represent particular interests. Regulatory agencies have made a significant and useful contribution to the effective operation of the EU. In many cases they have built up a highly-respected scientific or technical know-how and have thereby helped the institutions to take effective decisions. In others, they have shown their capacity to analyse and stimulate public debate at both European and international level. As a consequence, the Commission has been in a position to concentrate on core tasks. A COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR REGULATORY AGENCIES As the number and diversity of regulatory agencies has grown, the Commission decided that a common framework would help to clarify and standardise their functions and working methods. In 2005, it proposed an interinstitutional agreement on the operating framework for the European regulatory agencies[12]. The goal was to agree conditions relating to the creation, operation and control of regulatory agencies under the first pillar. Though targeted on new agencies, these ground rules could also be used to review, formally or informally, how existing agencies were working. Despite general support from the European Parliament, negotiations on this draft agreement unfortunately stalled during 2006, with the Council not ready to give attention to the issue and with doubts raised over the use of an inter-institutional agreement as a vehicle. However, the issues which the inter-institutional agreement sought to address remain. The varied role, structure and profile of regulatory agencies make the system untransparent, and raise doubts about their accountability and legitimacy. The diverse role of agencies fuels concerns that they might stray into areas more properly the domain of the policy-making branches of the EU. The responsibilities of the other institutions toward agencies, and of the Commission in particular, suffer from the lack of a clear framework and defined lines of responsibility. Issues to include in a common approach Whatever form it takes, the Commission considers that there should be a common approach to the governance of regulatory agencies. There will always be variations between agencies: their different functions, ways of working and sizes have not developed by chance, but reflect an attempt to define the best way to allow each agency to discharge its responsibilities effectively. A balance must be struck between the need for an approach sufficiently standardized that agencies have a coherent place in European governance – and the need to respect agencies' specific characteristics. As public bodies of the EU, all agencies must be organised in the right way to respect basic principles of accountability and sound financial management. While the Financial and Staff regulations remain applicable to agencies, their small size compared to EU institutions would seem to justify appropriate adaptations. The building blocks for a common approach to agencies should cover the following areas: - The tasks of regulatory agencies The varied roles of agencies today show that there will never be a single model for what an agency should do. But agencies fall into different categories. A clear explanation of these different types of function would improve clarity and understanding about their role. Different types of regulatory agencies Agencies can be classified in different ways. One useful way is to try to look at the key functions they perform. Although agencies often perform a number of different roles, an analysis of the centre of gravity of agencies' activities suggests the following categories[13]: Agencies adopting individual decisions which are legally binding on third parties: CVPO, OHIM, EASA[14] and ECHA[15] Agencies providing direct assistance to the Commission and, where necessary, to the Member States, in the form of technical or scientific advice and/or inspection reports: EMSA[16], EFSA, ERA and EMEA Agencies in charge of operational activities: EAR, GSA, CFCA, FRONTEX, EUROJUST, EUROPOL and CEPOL Agencies responsible for gathering, analysing and forwarding objective, reliable and easy-to-understand information / networking: CEDEFOP, EUROFOUND, EEA, ETF, EMCCDA, EU-OSHA, ENISA, ECDC, FRA and European Institute for Gender Equality Services to other agencies and institutions: CDT | - The structure and working of agencies A more standard approach to the governance of agencies would allow for certain standard rules to apply to the Management Board, the Director and to the programming and reporting of the agency's work. It would also help to clarify their relationship with the EU institutions and with the Member States. - Accountability and regulatory agencies' relationship with the other institutions The mechanisms in place to ensure accountability for the actions of regulatory agencies should be clear to both the agencies and the Institutions. This should include reporting and auditing requirements, relations with stakeholders, and responses to parliamentary questions. The management of the agencies must also respect basic standards of good stewardship to mitigate possible risks. There should also be coherent rules for evaluation of the agencies.In particular, the degree of accountability of the Commission cannot exceed the degree of influence of the Commission on the agency's activities. At the same time, the Commission will look at its own internal organization to ensure that the link with agencies and the role of its own services are on the right footing. There are also questions concerning the relationship between agencies and the European Parliament and the Council, beyond their role in agreeing the legal basis for an agency in the first place, and the budgetary process, such as the involvement of the European Parliament in nominations to the Board and Director. - Better regulation and the work of agencies As part of the governance structures of the Union, it is important that agencies apply modern principles of better regulation. This includes concentrating on their core business; factoring in the need to consult properly with and provide feedback to stakeholders; and organizing their business in such a way that transparency is assured and that performance can be effectively monitored by institutions and stakeholders alike. - The process for establishing and ending regulatory agencies The process for setting up agencies could usefully be set out – to include the need for an impact assessment to be undertaken before a Commission proposal is presented, as well as clarification of the role of the host country, including the need for the host country to ensure appropriate schooling facilities for children of staff[17]. Criteria could also be set out to assess when an agency has served its purpose and can be disbanded. - Communication strategy Ground rules for the communication strategy to be followed by agencies would help to improve public understanding of their role, and ensure that agencies' communication policies are consistent with the Union's overall approach. Making progress towards a common framework The proposed inter-institutional agreement has not been able to make progress. The Commission therefore intends to withdraw its proposal for an inter-institutional agreement, and to replace it by an invitation to an inter-institutional discussion which should lead to a common approach. - With this goal in mind, the next step should be a forum where the three institutions can make a collective political assessment of experience of agencies and their place in the Union. This would be an opportunity to develop a common understanding of what should be the shape of regulatory agencies and to define clearly the responsibilities of each institution vis-à-vis the agencies. The Commission therefore proposes that an inter-institutional working group should be established with this objective. A first building block for this dialogue would be the available studies and reports on agencies such as the reports which the Commission has already provided the European Parliament in the framework of the 2008 budgetary process[18], and the reports of the European Court of Auditors. - If the starting point is a genuine inter-institutional dialogue on a vision for regulatory agencies, the natural development would be to follow this up with an instrument to give form and transparency to the conclusions of this dialogue. The Commission remains open to alternatives to the route of an inter-institutional agreement, whether legally binding or not. The overriding objective should be a political understanding – given the varied nature of regulatory agencies, it would not be appropriate to seek to mirror the legal framework agreed for executive agencies. In the meantime, the Commission will continue to use the philosophy and core principles of the proposed interinstitutional agreement as a point of reference for its own approach to agencies. - At the same time, the Commission intends to launch a thorough evaluation of the regulatory agencies. This evaluation will contribute to the ongoing debate on the future of the Community agency system by taking a horizontal look at all agencies[19]. The new evaluation will allow all the European institutions to examine the real implications of the creation and operation of agencies in the Union. The Commission intends to report on the results of this evaluation by 2009-2010. - To allow this evaluation to proceed in stable conditions, the Commission has decided not to make proposals for new regulatory agencies until the conclusion of the evaluation. Agencies which are already under inter-institutional discussion would go ahead as planned, including existing proposals in the fields of energy and telecoms, as well as planned agencies in the field of justice and home affairs[20] and changes in the scope of existing agencies would also continue. This commitment should allow all the institutions to fully assess, in view of the results of the evaluation, the implications and consequences for the Union of the creation and functioning of regulatory agencies. The result should be a coherent approach to agencies in the future. - An agreed approach should apply to all agencies, taking into account their specificities and may entail amendments to the basic acts governing existing regulatory agencies to make them consistent with a new approach. CONCLUSION The Commission believes that agencies can bring real added value to the Union's governance structures. At present, however, this potential is being held back by the lack of a common vision about the role and functions of regulatory agencies. The Commission therefore invites the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers to join it in a dialogue on the place of agencies in European governance. An inter-institutional working group would allow the key issues facing agencies to be set out as ground rules to apply to all. At the same time, the Commission intends to: - Withdraw its proposal for an inter-institutional agreement; - Undertake a horizontal evaluation of regulatory agencies, by the end of 2009, and to report as soon as possible to the European Parliament and the Council on the results; - Propose no new regulatory agencies until the work of the evaluation is complete (end of 2009); - Undertake a review of the Commission's own internal systems governing its relations with agencies, as well as the methodology for conducting impact assessment of agencies. The effective delivery of services by agencies can make a real contribution to the implementation of EU policy. The Commission believes that the three institutions should agree to work together to develop a clear and coherent vision for the future place of agencies in the Union's governance.[pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] [1] There are now 29 agencies of this type, with proposals having been made for a further 2 agencies – see Annex. [2] See Annex. [3] Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes (OJ L 11, 16.1.2003). [4] Letter dated 16.10.2007 of D. Grybauskaitė, member of the Commission, to R. Böge, Chairman of the Budgets Committee, DGE/ef (2007)585. [5] However, a positive evaluation of the work of the Executive Agency for the management of the Intelligent Energy was conducted in 2006. [6] SEC(2007) 530 "Planning & optimising Commission human resources to serve EU priorities". [7] Out of the 23 agencies under the EC Treaty, 12 of them have their legal basis under article 308EC, the other ones being created under a sectoral Treaty basis, 8 agencies' basic acts being adopted under co-decision. See complete list of regulatory agencies in Annex. [8] The agencies created under Common Foreign and Security Policy are funded directly by Member States. [9] Figures only for Agencies created under the EC Treaty and under Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters excluding EUROPOL, which is funded by member States under its present legal status. The Agencies created under Common Foreign and Security Policy are under full control of the Council (full financing of these agencies by Member States). [10] Communication of 20 December 1999 - COM(1999) 710 final. [11] Article 185(3) of Financial Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002. [12] COM(2005) 59 final du 25.2.2005. [13] Agencies created under Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) are not included. [14] EASA also provides direct assistance to the Commission and, where necessary, to the Member States, in the form of technical or scientific advice and/or inspection reports. [15] ECHA also provides assistance to the Commission and, where necessary, to the Member States, in the form of technical and scientific advice and/or opinions. [16] EMSA has also in its mandate important operational activities (in particular maritime anti-pollution activities). [17] This requirement is already enshrined in Article 47 of the interinstitutional agreement on budgetary discipline and Articles 27 to 30 of the Better Regulation interinstitutional agreement. [18] There are two relevant reports: (i) a summary of evaluations carried out on agencies and (ii) state of play and planning concerning evaluation of agencies. [19] More limited horizontal studies on the agency system have been already carried out by the Commission, e.g. the meta-study on decentralised agencies of 2003 and the one currently ongoing, both based on existing evaluation reports on decentralised agencies. [20] This concerns a possible proposal for an agency for the operational management of SIS II, VIS and EURODAC and for the development and the management of other large-scale IT systems; and a possible proposal for a European Support office for Asylum. Impact assessments and feasibility studies are currently under way.

The first reviews of the new iPad are in, and as expected they focus on the areas that are visually and experientially different from last year's iPad 2. The consensus is that the Retina display is blow-you-eyeballs-back-through-your-skull impressive, and the responsiveness and LTE networking amazingly fast.
Bloomberg's Rich Jaroslovsky says the new iPad is to the iPad 2 what the iPhone 4S was to the iPhone 4.
It isn't that the new iPad lacks impressive features --most notably, a vastly better display and an ultra-fast Internet- connection option. It's just that it seems designed to maintain Apple (AAPL)'s huge lead in the tablet wars, rather than to extend it.
Daring Fireball's John Gruber finally has the iPad he longed for two years ago.
The retina display is amazing, everything in the UI feels faster, and the price points remain the same. What's not to love? It's that simple.
The Loop's Jim Dalrymple is impressed with the new iPad's day to day usability and awed by it's Retina display.
So, what did I like about the iPad? Simple — the experience. Nobody in the market today can touch the Apple experience.
Macworld's Jason Snell thinks that iPad 2 users shouldn't look at the new iPad, because it will be hard to go back.
The new iPad is just that: The iPad, updated for a new year and millions of new iPad users. It's not smaller or lighter, but it's got a remarkable screen, a much better rear camera, and support for cellular networking that can run at Wi-Fi speeds. It's the iPad that millions of people have embraced, only one year better.
The New York Time's David Pogue thinks the new iPad is less an iPad 3 and more an iPad 2S.
The new iPad doesn't introduce anything that we haven't seen before, either in the iPhone or in rival tablets. There's no Steve Jobs "one more thing" moment here; Apple just took its white-hot iPad and added the latest screen, battery and cellular technologies.
SlashGear's Vincent Nguyen thinks evolution is more important than revolution for tablets.
Steve Jobs would have approved of the new iPad. With its focus on the holistic experience rather than individual boasts around its constituent parts, it's the epitome of the Post-PC world the Apple founder envisaged. No lag or delay; no frustrating cloud settings or arcane minimum software requirements. Simply pick up, swipe, and you're immersed in a joined-up ecosystem. Apple doesn't need another revolution, it has already started one, and the new iPad brings a fresh degree of refinement to a segment in which it is undoubtedly the king.
TechCrunch's Mg Siegler says looking at the new iPad is like putting on your glasses and seeing the world clearly again. He agrees with our buying/upgrading advice as well.
Technology is amazing, and this new iPad is amazing. Also amazing: the only company competing with Apple right now in this particular space is Apple.
The Telegraph's Shane Richmond says the differences between the new iPad and the old iPad 2 are amazing, and also uses the glasses-on/glasses off analogy.
If you have been holding off getting a tablet then this is the one to go for. In my view, it's the best that money can buy. Existing iPad owners who are thinking of upgrading should take a look at this new device. You'll see the difference very, very clearly indeed.
USA Today's Ed Baig like the new additions, but doesn't seem to understand even Adobe's given up on Mobile Flash...
Pro. Stunning screen, 4G speeds (on certain models), decent dictation and improved camera optics. Strong battery. Apps galore. Con. Shooting with camera can be awkward. No Adobe Flash. No camera flash. No expanded storage.
The Verge's Joshua Topolsky still laments the lack of glance-able information on the iPad, but can't recommend any other table more highly. And the Retina display? It looks like a glowing piece of paper.
Minor gripes aside, the iPad remains best in breed when it comes to design and materials. Other tablets may have more ports or larger screens, but few can match the elegance, sleekness, or solidness of this device.
The Wall Street Journal's Wall Mossberg says the new iPad display is dramatically better and the content delivery is dramatically faster.
Since it launched in 2010, the iPad has been the best tablet on the planet. With the new, third-generation model, it still holds that crown.
We'll add more to the list when we find them, and will be providing our own, full on iMore review this weekend!
I may have to pick one up on Friday. My radioshack opens up at 7am, but wonder how that's going to work.
Plus I get paid on Friday =)
I heard through the grapevine that the big boss ordered me a new iPad on announcement day. Can't wait to see if FedEx stops at my house on Friday!
I admit that I will be at the Apple Store Friday morning when the doors open. iPad is on the menu and also some software for it (a file manager and iWork at least). I finally gave up on Android on tablets as even on ICS the UI is choppy and also the parts don't all play together seamlessly.
I'll be calling in to work on Friday so I can buy myself the new iPad. Shhhhh, don't tell the boss ;)
I should be getting mine FedEx prior to leaving for work, perfect timing for the commute and down time at work.
A bunch of the links in this article point back to itself.
Also the poll is pretty stupid in the way it deals with the percentages. It ends up being almost completely meaningless.
Mines is in Alaska in route on time to Virginia tomorrow. I had the Galaxy 10.1 Tab and I gave that to my woman. Looking forward to getting my new IPAD tomorrow!
I have neve ordered anything blindly like this on Apple launch day before and I have been waiting 2 years for MY version
of the Ipad and what I hoped it would be. I took half a day off tomorrow to wait for my UPS delivery. I just hope he doesnt show up before noon. So excited.....
It's disappointing not to see iMore included in that review list.
"Rich Jaroslovsky says the new iPad is to the iPad 2 what the iPhone 4S was to the iPhone 4."
I have to totally disagree here. I defended the 4S upgrade because it updated what mattered in an already great device. It's basically different guts. And name any other company updating their devices that's even remotely on par with this. I'm not sure what absurd standard they're applying here or what their expectations are.
The new ipad goes much further. The screen is the most important part of a tablet. It's what you're looking at. How you interact with it. This is basically a new ipad that only shares the same design. But it hardly looks the same once you turn it on.
I also take exception to those that seem to be saying no one was complaining about the ipad 2's screen. Yes, we were. There's a reason my iphone remained my e-reader. Or why I still used my iphone more.
This is the first ipad i want to try using in place of a laptop (besides on a work engagement). The screen now makes it a much superior experience. For the first time, i'll be putting that iphone down as this becomes my primary device. I'll still want an LTE iphone but my desire to upgrade phones once a year after that is much less.
I'm looking forward to it. This ipad isn't a slight update. It's the game changer. My advice for ipad 2 owners is different...you should sell it and upgrade. It's worthwhile to upgrade because no matter how you use it, the screen changes everything for you. It's a simply remarkable feat that Apple could get this high of a resolution on a 10" tablet. That's easily worth an upgrade. Any tech reviewer who glosses over this just isn't very credible IMO. It's a compliment to iOS in that it's probably the only mobile OS efficient enough to make this high res screen viable.
I could not disagree more. I feel this iPad is just a slight upgrade to the previous version (which it is). My iPhone 4S will continue to remain my device of choice. It is smaller, has a great screen, is fast, has Siri, better camera, and does everything the iPad does. When I want a larger screen, I use AirPlay or hook it up via HDMI and use a keyboard.
After they released this, I could feel the lack of Steve Jobs' (RIP)presence at Apple.
Sorry you feel that way, but it seems like you've not bought into the idea of an ipad no matter what. That's fine, there's many out there that haven't. It took me awhile as well.
Wrong again. I have a ton of Apple products except iPad 2 and now the new iPad. I played on my first Apple computer in the 1980's. Have owned lots of them them ever since. Have three in my house now. Just saying the "new iPad" is not that great of an update. Pogue is right. Apple just dropped the ball and in the next couple years you will likely see their tablet market share slip because of this release. Not even Siri ...sad.
To Firesign3000:
Steve Jobs may have stuff lined up for the future but his presence is gone. He contributed more than people are aware. I am sure you have heard how he woke up thousands of Chinese in the middle of the night to make the iPhone screen glass. Touches like that are missed by Steve. There is no replacing or planning by the late Jobs that can attribute for his immediate attention to detail. Tim Cook and Ive are a fraction of the innovator Jobs was. He is missed and cannot be replaced.
If Tim Cook or Ive were as good as you make them sound, they would be creating their own Apple (like Jobs) not working for them. Steve Jobs certainly wouldn't work for others. He was the fire.
Lack of Steve Jobs? I don't think so. You can be pretty well assured that pretty much everything in Apple's pipeline for the next three years or so was planned by Jobs and Cook long before Jobs passed. And if there is anybody in the world that is almost as fussy as Steve was, it's Tim Cook (and Jony Ive for that matter). Read Issacson's book about Jobs, you'll see what I'm talking about.
"The new iPad doesn't introduce anything that we haven't seen before, either in the iPhone or in rival tablets."
How could i forget Pogue? This is such a retarded statement. I wonder how many tablets he's seen that are capable of or running this type of resolution?
I get the sense that he's equating this ipad screen to the iphone's. I suppose that's Apple's burden for reducing all this down to retina marketing terms.
Still, i'd say a tablet running this screen with no hiccups, getting this kind of battery life on LTE, is definitely something we've not seen before. And you definitely won't see it on rival tablets.
Looking forward to the iMore review of the new Jesus Slab. I'm happy with the iPad 2 I got last weekend, thanks to the price drop. All of the Android slab geeks must hate it, but numbers don't lie. The new Fondle Slab is going to sell like hotcakes and no other slab can touch that Retina display.
funny how the title does include the new in as part of iPad, which what Ive been saying all along , that it is "the new ipad", but some of our imore friends kept saying nope, its just the new "ipad"! :twisted:
any release apple does is a big difference to what they previous released if you say other wise.. you must of just purchased the old model. :(.. i have 4 for sale 1000$ each 32gb wifi
This is awesome and a very worthy upgrade, but man...Steve never would have let them call it "The new iPad."
Re: "Daring Fireball's John Gruber finally has the iPad he longed for two years ago."
Maybe that's why it's called "iPad" again. Apple has finally made the iPad they always wanted to make.
Re: Topolsky: "Other tablets may have more ports or larger screens, but few can match the elegance, sleekness, or solidness of this device."
See? He's afraid of saying how much he really likes the new iPad. Because if he did, he'd alienate the Android faction, the Windows 8 faction, and the Playbook faction among his readers / viewers. And really, "more ports"? Ports? Oh please.
"Re: "Daring Fireball's John Gruber finally has the iPad he longed for two years ago."
Maybe that's why it's called "iPad" again. Apple has finally made the iPad they always wanted to make."
This is actually the VERY reasoning behind my thoughts on the name... I just think they are calling it "The new iPad" because its what they originally envisioned to create.
OR, they wanted to change everyone's idea behind what the iPad is... So, instead of thinking of the first gen iPad when people talk about the iPad, they will instead think of the insanely HD and insanely powerful iPad. In other words, "The new iPad".
Despite the fact that all these reviewers, who posted videos, are saying that the video doesn't do the screen justice... Its still an incredible comparison! You can still see the difference... Cant wait to try one in person!
I bought my iPad on the day that it came out and so far, I think it is one of the best things that Apple has come out with! When I play games for long periods of time, it does get a little warm, but not to where it gets uncomfortable, and it stays cool even when I am streaming movies, such as when I'm using the DISH Remote Access app. It streams live and recorded shows in HD from my receiver at home, and it takes a lot of processing power. Movies look great on the Retina Display, especially in high definition. I also like how LTE is snappy with loading movies. Just the other day, I watched Thor in HD on my iPad while I was on lunch at DISH where I work, so I really like the convenience of the new iPad. I really like how the battery lasts all day too.

In 2004, approximately 170,000 New Mexico adults reported binge drinking during the past month, and about 24,000 binge drinkers in the past month reported drinking in a bar or club during their most recent binge drinking episode.1 These findings were used to support the implementation of a prevention campaign against binge drinking and alcohol-impaired driving, including changes in New Mexico's liquor control regulations. The Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) prevention campaign, launched in 2005, had two major components—reducing alcohol service to persons who are already intoxicated per New Mexico law; and implementing evidence-based strategies for reducing alcohol-impaired driving. The comprehensive campaign was a multi-agency effort, engaging state agencies and community organizations. The program focused on the six New Mexico counties with the highest numbers and/or rates of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes.
The first component of the campaign involved a policy change. To take steps to reduce excessive drinking, New Mexico convened a task force in 2005 to evaluate the state liquor control regulations. Prior to 2006, the law stated that an establishment could lose its liquor license after five illegal sales and services violations in a one-year period. Illegal sales and service includes both sales to minors and sales to intoxicated persons (i.e., over-service). New Mexico's definition of over-service is a finding that within 90 minutes of consuming his or her last drink at a bar or club, a patron has a blood alcohol content of 0.14 or higher (almost twice the legal blood alcohol level for driving). Though this law was on the books, no liquor licenses had ever been revoked in New Mexico based on over-service violations. In 2006, based on the recommendations of the task force, the alcohol beverage control agency changed the regulations from five violations in a one-year period to three violations in a one-year period for license revocation. This became known as the "three strikes" rule. Soon after the new rule was enacted, the alcohol beverage control law enforcement agency also increased their enforcement of over-service violations, sending undercover liquor control officers to bars and clubs to observe patrons and identify instances of over-service. As a result of these increased enforcement efforts, over-service citations increased by more than 260 percent, leading to the first liquor license revocations in New Mexico for this type of violation.
The second component involved implementing evidence-based strategies. New Mexico put into action strategies recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force for reducing alcohol-impaired driving. Periods of increased DWI law enforcement were regularly scheduled, during which sobriety checkpoints were deployed around the state. A comprehensive media campaign was launched, warning drivers about this increased DWI law enforcement. The media campaign included TV ads, radio PSAs, billboards, and news reports. Sobriety checkpoints and supporting media activity continue to be priorities in New Mexico.
Between 2004-2005 and 2007-2008, New Mexico saw a 16 percent decrease in binge drinking intensity (the number of drinks consumed on the last binge drink occasion) in licensed premises such as bars and clubs, from 8.3 to 7.0 drinks per occasion. During this same time period, there was a 33 percent decrease in the prevalence of driving after binge drinking, from 8.7 percent to 5.9 percent. Ultimately, New Mexico saw a 39-percent decrease in their alcohol-impaired motor vehicle crash fatality rate between 2004 and 2008.2 The role of the New Mexico Department of Health and their CDC-funded alcohol epidemiologist in supporting this multi-agency effort have been featured by the CDC as part of their Vital Signs and Public Health Grand Round series.3

Yelawolf did not delete the pictures. Some of these are months old. Look on his Instagram they're all still on there. He has nothing to delete. These are not racist nor is he... it represents the south. I mean the guy is engaged to a black woman and has mixed children! Come one people. But my main point is that this article has its facts WRONG. HE DID NOT, I REPEAT: DID NOT DELETE THE PICTURES. He has no reason to LOL.
Trent Clark how are you a journalist if you can't get your facts right. Look at his instagram they are all still there.

David and Carol Ann Rasmussen of Cedaredge are preparing to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married Nov. 24, 1962, in their hometown of Missoula, Mont.
David's career as a mining engineer took them to a lot of interesting places — Butte, Mont., Santiago, Chile, the Laguna Indian Reservation in New Mexico, Helena, Mont., Golden, Colo., Albuquerque and Carlsbad, N.M., Vienna, Va., and Las Vegas, Nev. In 2004 they retired, making Cedaredge their home.
Since moving to the area they have become very active in the local arts community. David is serving his second year as president of Delta Fine Arts and is pursuing his love of writing historical fiction. He has published two books and is currently working on a trilogy. Carol Ann is also very active with Delta Fine Arts, and has chaired several of their very successful art shows. Her works in alcohol inks and pottery have won numerous awards in art shows throughout the area and can be found in local galleries.
The Rasmussen family includes five children — Gretchen, Thor, Tyre (deceased), Kyrstinn, and David (deceased); 10 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Gretchen Matsuda lives in Elizabeth with her husband Dale. They have two daughters, Mariko and Midori, and a son-in-law, Dave. Thor Rasmussen lives in Sandy, Utah, with his wife Karma and their three children, Hannah, Bron, and Dane. Kyrstinn Carlberg lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband Matthew. They have three daughters, Mareth, Samantha, Bailey Rybinski, son-in-law Tim, and grandson Timmy.
All the families reunited in late September in Sandy, Utah, to celebrate this wonderful occasion.

Anatomy Scan, Done: It's a...
August 17, 2012
© Melanie at Parenting.com
20w, 2d. Yesterday was my birthday--and also coincidentally the date of my anatomy scan. I've made no secret of my wanting daughter, and so I was up before 4 am, worrying and wondering what we might find. The night before, I had the chance to catch up with a good friend with whom I'd spent the past week playing phone tag. She asked if Sam and I were going into the ultrasound with two names, one for either sex. I laughed and said that we hadn't begun to think about names--honestly, the thought of considering any girls' names was just too painful. It sounds silly, but I've wanted a daughter for so long and knowing that this was our last shot at having one (yes, we're really and truly done having kids after this one is born), I just felt like I couldn't handle the disappointment of thinking about a baby girl in more concrete terms, like what we might name her. Only boys have been born into my husband's family for the past three generations--12 boys thus far, and everyone has just come to expect that that's how it will continue to be...
When I woke up around 4:00 (all too common these days), I started worrying about whether or not the baby would be healthy--I'd spent so much time focused on whether we were having our third boy or not that I had just taken the baby's health for granted. Given that this pregnancy has been surprisingly hard on me, all of a sudden I wondered if something could be really wrong with the baby. There hadn't been any indication of that during my nuchal translucency at 11 weeks, but those things don't find everything... Luckily, my kids snuck down the stairs around 5:30 am, singing 'Happy Birthday' to me, and distracted me for the next couple of hours.
When we got into the ultrasound room and the anatomy scan began, the sonographer confirmed that we wanted to know the sex. She moved the wand around for a while, saying that the baby has its legs crossed and she'd take pictures of other stuff first, until the baby changed position. I jokingly offered to let her hang me upside down if she needed to, so anxious was I to finally know what we were having. Eventually, she said she thought she knew what the baby was but just wanted one more picture to confirm. When she got that, she said, "It's a healthy baby... girl."
I immediately started sobbing on the ultrasound table, my belly shaking and making it impossible for her to see much of anything for a moment. Sam asked if she was sure it was a girl, and she nodded, pointing out the labia and eventually the ovaries. He looked happy but stunned--although he had admitted to me the night before that he felt for the first time like having a daughter was a realistic possibility and had even started looking at girls' names on his own.
If it makes any sense, especially to those of you who have lost someone close to you, I really felt my mom's presence in the room at the moment the sonographer shared the news. I had told Sam the night before that I knew that regardless of what we were having, this baby was the one that was meant for us, given that despite two previous precisely planned pregnancies, this one had been a bit unexpected. Not only had I gotten pregnant before we started "trying," but I'm due on 1/2/13--which is exactly the season in which I have never wanted to have a baby, given that it meant being pregnant through the summer and having a baby with a birthday within days of a major present-filled holiday (it always seemed to me that those kids get stiffed on presents and celebrating, due to all of the other hullabaloo at that time). Kind of like this baby was a reminder to me of just how little life can actually be planned out according to my specific whims.
But back to that feeling about my mom--she died less than two months after my second son was born, and I continue to feel her absence in my life. We were really, really close--the kind of close where I called her everyday when I moved away for college--and continued doing so until the day she died because I wanted to talk to her. She was an excellent mother to my little brother and me, and I aspire to be like her. And while I have come to learn that she and my brother also had an excellent relationship of a different sort (which relieved me, given the fact that I have two boys of my own), I have always wanted a daughter in the hopes of having the kind of relationship with her that my mom had with me. I'm sorry that she'll never get the chance to enjoy having a granddaughter, but it kind of feels like this little girl is a gift from her (despite my understanding full well how babymaking works--and I can assure you my husband and I were the only two people in the room at that time).
Anyhoo, I went to bed last night still feeling elated--and woke up this morning feeling the same way. This ultrasound experience was much better than when we learned our second child was a boy--and I punched Sam while lying on the ultrasound table!
Did you find out the sex of your baby in advance? Were you surprised? Delighted? Disappointed? Leave a comment.

What's the issue?
Officials say the Nampa School District's revenue shortfall was the result of a series of budgeting and accounting errors during the past two years.
A judge recently approved the district's ability to borrow money to meet expenses for the rest of this school year.
To help pay back the loan, the district is asking voters to approve a one-year supplemental levy on Tuesday.
What will it cost?
District officials say property owners' tax rates will stay the same if the levy is approved with a simple majority vote.
"The board's plan is to keep next year's rate the same - pass or fail," said Nampa School District spokeswoman Allison Westfall. If the levy passes, the board would refinance construction bonds to keep the rate steady, she said.
If the levy does not pass, the tax rate would stay as projected, no refinancing would occur, and "the district would need to cut more," Westfall said.
Nampa has the lowest levy rate of the Treasure Valley's seven largest school districts - Boise, Meridian, Kuna, Caldwell, Middleton and Vallivue are the others.
What else is on Tuesday's ballot?
Middleton School District residents will be asked to continue an annual $250,000 plant-and-facilities levy that expires in a year.
Taxes will not increase if the levy is approved, and the levy's duration will be extended 10 years.
Both the supplemental and facility levies require a simple majority vote.
How can I vote?
Registered voters may cast ballots at their polling places from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Absentee ballots must be returned to the Canyon County Elections Office, 1102 E. Chicago St. in Caldwell, by 5 p.m. Tuesday.
What if I'm not registered?
You can register to vote at your polling place on the day of the election with proof of residency and photo ID.
You do not have to register if you have voted in a general election in the past four years and have not changed your address.
For more information, to request an absentee ballot or to find your polling place, call Canyon County Elections at 454-7562.

Teff, freekeh, sumac: Trendy foods that deserve a plate on our plates
Over the past five years, a few food trends have outlasted their introductory splash to become pantry staples. The tastiest and most nutritious are quinoa and Greek yogurt.
Chew on this
Many 'healthy' processed foods are chock-full of sugar
A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words, and I would like you to picture the amount of sugar hidden in some commonly eaten foods. All you need to know is that 1 teaspoon of sugar weighs 4 grams.
Chew on this
Research shows how sugar can trigger cravings
I have met many self-proclaimed "sugar addicts," but not one client has ever come to me for a "fat addiction." There are self-help books for the sugar junkies but no market for fattty-food fiends. And proof mounts that the reward centers of our brains are directing food cravings.
Chew on this
Nutritional supplements not a black and white issue
Before jumping on my soapbox, I offer two disclosures. The first is that I love food. In fact, I just came from teaching medical students about the healing powers of whole, natural foods. The second is that I do not sell supplements in my practice, have no financial stake in a supplement company and have never been sponsored to speak by a supplement company.

At breakfast, think outside the (cereal) box
My husband looked horrified as I spooned out a steaming cup of white bean and vegetable soup for breakfast. In his world view, soup is not breakfast food.

Hints for healthful holiday eating
If something is repeated often enough, it is regarded as true. Case in point is the 8- to 10-pound holiday weight gain. Media doctors and self-proclaimed health experts are sounding the alarm about holiday food bombardment.

Book touts nutritional power of traditional Peruvian foods

3 questions about nutrition that I hear too often
It's heartening to see that public interest in nutrition is growing. But so is confusion, misinformation and a lack of common sense when it comes to food and supplements.
Chew on this
Soda-size fight has broader appeal
No matter which side you take in the Mayor Bloomberg soda-pop debate, you have to give the man credit for igniting a conversation. Americans are getting heavier and 42 percent of the population will be obese (not overweight) by 2030. And when that happens, our nation will be dealing with $550 billion in obesity-related health care costs. Dramatic action is needed.

Our gifts were modest and special, provided solely by my mother, who would work all day and then also nightly at the Diamond Department Store. They would be decorated in a unique holiday wrap with beautiful trimming, placed under the tree for us to dream of their contents. I remember waiting for her each evening. She would work until 9 p.m., catch a bus home and then still have to walk miles in the cold, most of which was up hill.
These are only a few of many modest memories of my Christmases past. They are all precious and revered in my sisters' and my recollections. As an adult, a mother of three girls and now a grandmother of eight, I attempt to give to my family and extended family the gifts of my childhood, evoke the feeling and the excitement that only Christmas can give.
We have much more, do much more and can get caught up in all of the nonsense and craziness if we are not careful. We emphasize the joy of decorating, baking goodies and giving and receiving modest gifts. I believe, we too, are making memories for our children and grandchildren.
As I look once again at my post-holiday mess spanning three stories, I recall the last words of the last grandchild as he drove away with his mother: "This was the best Christmas Ever".
As my middle daughter so aptly said, "It is not the gifts you recall. It is the special time spent and efforts of others that last."
I believe I will start packing away our Christmas 2012 and watch White Christmas one more time!

BOSTON - A Hopkinton man was convicted today in federal court of filing false tax returns which claimed large refunds to which he was not entitled.
William A. Reinertson, 51, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper to four counts of filing false tax returns for tax years 2005 through 2008. Had the case proceeded to trial the government's evidence would have proven that Reinertson operated a landscaping and construction business and received wages as an employee of those businesses. When Reinertson created W-2s for the business, he falsely represented that the business withheld over $200,000 in federal income taxes. In reality, no withholdings had been made and no sums were paid over to the Internal Revenue Service. When Reinertson and his wife filed joint returns using the false W-2s, they claimed that they were entitled to a tax return.
Judge Casper scheduled sentencing for Nov. 29, 2012. Reinertson faces up to three years in prison to be followed by one year of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Services Criminal Investigation in Boston made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra S. Bower of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.

i bow to the exceptional apartment.
Moder building with roof garden
sorry no dogs
very moder apartment with dishwasher so when you invite friends over you can kindly ask them to help you with the dishes and they won't nix the idea.
stainless steel appliances, granite counters, kitchen island, pantry so you can store your lovely food.
washer and dryer so even in the harshest winter whether you won't need to get out of your house to do it, if only there were a auto-ironing system this could be heaven.
walk in closet, yes, because it is important to know how many skirts, pants, dress you own, and that small thing you know you own and feel like wearing today, but it generally lost in some drawer somewhere.
available on dec 15th, because it is so much better moving before the holiday and celebrate the new year in style. And if your friends envy you, well that is their problem!
Corner of 6th avenue and 16th St. So you are also walking distance from the park.
