The Hill: Reid Won't Rule Out Filibuster Elimination
On ObamaCare, Reid defended the new law, even though he criticized the initial rollout by the Obama administration as "awful." Citing a recent conversation with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, Reid said the enrollment numbers for the insurance exchanges would be "staggering" come April 1, when the six-month sign-up period ends. "It's already working," he said of the law (Berman, 1/5).
Politico: Romney Slams Obamacare
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday bashed President Barack Obama's previous promises about citizens keeping their insurance if they like it under the new health care law, calling such a pledge "deceptive." "This is at the heart of the president's deception and dishonesty," ... Romney said of his 2012 presidential opponent, speaking on" Fox News Sunday." (Glueck, 1/5).
ABC News: Sen. Rand Paul Says Obamacare 'A Mess,' Unsure if Family is Covered
Democrats have pointed to Kentucky's state health exchange as an Obamacare success story, but Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said on "This Week" that the system is "a mess," describing how his son was incorrectly enrolled in Medicaid, and saying he's unsure if his own family is currently covered. "The other day I actually tried to get my son signed up through the Kentucky exchange, you know that the Democrats have said is so good. And I have here my son's Medicaid card," Paul told George Stephanopoulos Sunday, waving the card (Blaine, 1/5).
Politico: Sperling: 'No Magic Number' For Obamacare Enrollment
Top White House economic adviser Gene Sperling downplayed on Sunday a previous administration goal of enrolling 7 million people in Obamacare by the end of March. "There's no magic number," the director of the National Economic Council said on NBC's "Meet the Press" (Parti, 1/5).

For the NFL and the NFLPA the announcement of a 7 day, mediated marathon of talks will be like you or I running the Boston Marathon in heels. In other words, getting from the start to the finish is going to take a lot more than simply running the route. There is no guarantee that the two sides will meet for a full 7 days. In fact, one side or the other could easily get up and walk away and throw in the towel. Regardless of whether there is a mediator there or not.
Both sides have agreed to have a member of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, a federal government agency that provides free mediation upon request.
That does not mean that a deal is any closer to being done. In fact, it only means that there will be someone sitting at the table for the two sides to look at and say "see, they are being completely unreasonable". Honestly, I'm not sure if this is going to help the situation along to a conclusion but I do wonder if this might be a situation where the two sides hammer out a short term deal to keep the league moving until a better arrangement can be made.
Both sides are set to lose money and while the players will surely suffer more than the owners will, it should also be realized that some teams are starting to see serious bites taken out of their season ticket renewals which for most will end next week.
There is a two week deadline to these negotiations and according to an NFL Network report, both sides will begin these negotiations today. The owners have also moved a Ft. Lauderdale owners meeting to the D.C. area as well.
While this is a step in the right direction, it is far from the creation of labor tranquility. The FMCS has mediated or been involved with labor disruptions for the NBA, MLB, Soccer, and the NHL.
The NFLPA stated that this will be a complete media blackout, I will believe that when I see it.

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #506: Hot and Cold; #514: A Flesh Wound
Bleeding Cool ran a brief (three-question) interview with me on Friday, in case you missed it. It's actually the second time Dale Lazarov put me through his All Is Full of Linky Love interview stylings (the first time being when it ran at Talk About Comics a long time ago), but like I told him, if he asked me the same questions in another year, they'd be different answers.
I need just TWO pre-orders for the Michael Bay is the Devil T-shirt before I can print those puppies up. They're $17.99 now, but they'll be going up to $19.99 after the pre-order (I based the original $17.99 pricing on an rough guess, but had to revise the finished price after getting a quote; it's a four-color design, don't forget). If you're a lady or a plus-sized (XXL and up) dude, it's a very good idea to pre-order, because I can't seem to get rid of them in the other shirt designs, so the odds of me ordering those sizes is slim!
EDIT: I just got those last two, so the Michael Bay shirt is GO. Get your orders in now at the pre-order pricing, though. The price will go up to $19.99 on October 4th — and I won't be ordering many extra Men's XXL and up or Ladies sizes.

Review: Coherence (2013)
Saturday, October 4, 2014
Written and directed by James Ward Byrkit.
Starring Emily Foxler, Hugo Armstrong, Nicholas Brendon, Elizabeth Gracen, Lauren Maher, Alex Manugian, Lorene Scafaria, and Maury Sterling.
A new Patreon backer at the $50 level opted out of the usual reward of a plug in the "Become a Multiplex Patron" box (above, on the website), asking instead for me to plug the 2013 indie science fiction filmCoherence (with which he is not affiliated). I was happy to oblige, and so "A fan of Coherence" — a.k.a. The Patron, as I'll refer to him from here out — is, for the duration of his patronage, among Multiplex's supporters. (And, yes, I will review just about any movie a $50 backer asks me to.)
What really got my interest in the film (aside from being asked very nicely to see it) was that The Patron compared it to Shane Carruth's Primer, one of the best no-budget sci-fi movies ever made. I can definitely see the comparison: both are decidedly low-budget films with small casts and a science-fictiony premise. I feel like seeing the film fairly blind is probably the best, so I won't summarize the plot beyond the premise of eight friends having a dinner party when a comet passes over and Strange Things Happen, but I don't think I'm quite as enthusiastic as The Patron.
Unfortunately, the "go in as blind as you can" suggestion means I feel like I need to be pretty vague. Some clunky (and largely unnecessary) exposition gets spat out early on, which tried my patience a bit, but it gets fun as the plot gets rolling. And the plot is definitely the star of the film, not the largely forgettable cast of affluent, Southern California white people or the dialogue, which often feels improvised (in that it neither pushes the story forward nor reveals character, as good dialogue ought to).
Despite some genuinely terrifically creepy or suspenseful moments in the film, a handful of contrived plot points hold it back from being much more than a fun genre flick for me, but I found myself wondering what would happen next — almost up to the very end. A late turn in the film got more of an eye-roll from me than the shock that I think it was supposed register. As always, your mileage may vary, but the film's merits make it well worth a viewing, particularly for science fiction fans suffering from blockbuster fatigue.
Here's the trailer! If it piques your interest, please do check it out. It's available for rent from Amazon Instant Video or for purchase from its official website, among other places. (I never recommend reading YouTube comments, but definitely on't read the comments if you want to stay away from spoilers.)

Government allocates £3m to fund online piracy fighting unit

A lack of skilled IT staff and poor security measures is putting companies' valuable corporate data at risk, according to consultancy firm Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young made the claim based on the findings of its 2012 Global Information Security Survey, which polled 1,850 chief information officers, and other information security executives across 64 countries.
The study raised some alarming findings, including that although 77 percent of individuals said their firm now uses cloud computing services, 20 percent have no specific security measures in place to protect their data.
Of those that do have systems in place, the report found that 64 percent are using outdated systems that are ill-equipped to deal with modern cyber threats.
"What you have is a basis where companies are setting up to use cloud services, but they're not being configured or specified for security controls in the way they would be if they were being set up and controlled by IT," Ernst & Young director of information security, Mark Brown told V3.
"This means many companies are not getting the full security requirements necessary to make them safe so there are concerns over their use."
The news is doubly troubling as 88 percent of the polled UK companies reported detecting a marked increase in the number of external attacks targeting their networks.
Despite the alarming figure, Brown was quick to note that paper's findings did have some positive connotations, indicating businesses were at least aware of the problem.
"I think there is a higher risk in the threat landscape and there is an increased threat of cyber attack, but I also think it's to do with awareness," said Brown.
"If you look at the number of high profile cyber attacks and security incidents over the past 12 to 18 months there is a rising awareness among businesses about what is going on.
"So the 88 percent is indicative of a higher level of awareness, following through so that incidents that previously were happening but weren't reported are now being followed through and raised and managed."

Robert Joel Halderman was simply trying to sell a story, not extort money, when he delivered a one-page screenplay proposal and other evidence to David Letterman in September about Mr. Letterman's affairs with women who worked for him, according to Gerald L. Shargel, Mr. Halderman's lawyer.
Mr. Shargel began telling Mr. Halderman's side of the story in earnest Tuesday as he filed motions in State Supreme Court in Manhattan to have the attempted grand larceny charge against his client dismissed.

Everyone asks about the nude scenes in On the Road, but I also had to dance, and dancing is harder than being naked. My character, Marylou, is so exuberant, and I had five minutes to do something that showed she was sort of like the craziest motherfucker around. In the book, it says 'Dean takes Marylou and they do a love dance and no one can take their eyes off them,' It's one sentence. And I was mad-intimidated by it. We did the dance four times to the song "Salt Peanuts." By the end, I was red as a fire truck. I was holding onto Garrett [Hedlund] because I was going to fall over, I almost passed out every single time.

It doesn't make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don't really see ourselves. We don't watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don't see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don't see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There's no mirror in your way when you're laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.

"Design creates connections": Interview with Professor h.c. Gorden Wagener
Interview with Professor h.c. Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz, about the background and objectives of "Mercedes-Benz Style".
Mr Wagener, with the launch of "Mercedes-Benz Style" you are breaking new ground, venturing away from pure automotive design into the styling of other products, such as furniture, aircraft and boats. What has prompted you to take this step?
With "Mercedes-Benz Style" we are in no way entering into new territory. In the past, our design team has already styled such products as watches and interiors, as well as numerous products for Mercedes-Benz Accessories. Mercedes-Benz design stands for innovation, and trend-setting, enduring style. We know that manufacturers outside of the automotive field are also interested in this expertise. Also we are determined to establish our specific styling in its uniqueness as a brand in other product areas – either by selling a new design or by granting a license. At the same time this field of activity will in turn have its own inspirational effect by helping to extend the creative spectrum of our own designers. "Mercedes-Benz Style" therefore represents a logical progression of our area of responsibility.
Do you and your designers have the expertise to make a successful move outside the field of automotive design?
Automotive design is undoubtedly one of the supreme disciplines of industrial design. Almost no other product is as complex and combines so many different disciplines to create a look and feel for the product. Our design division has all of the necessary expertise in more than ample measure, and has benefited from such skills for many years. We have fashion and textile designers, product designers and typographers all working together for us. And don't forget that alongside "classic" interior and exterior design, we also count colour and trim, industrial/interface design and even graphic design among our responsibilities. On top of this there is also our unique international positioning. We have five Advanced Design Studios on three continents. Our workshops and computer aided design (CAD) departments are also able to provide all manner of realisation options – from sketches and project management right through to the production of full-scale models.
How big is the "Mercedes-Benz Style" team? Are these designers now working exclusively on other products instead of cars?
Our structure enables us to work in a flexible manner and to put together a specific project team for each customer and partner which is the best possible match for styling their product. In addition to a fixed core team, the entire creative potential of our department will be available for the respective styling job. It is precisely this open design culture, in which each designer works without being limited by boundaries, which accounts for our quality. Of course Mercedes-Benz vehicles will also continue to be the main area of activity of our department in the future.
What are your plans in detail? What actual products have you already designed?
We are already involved in concrete projects with several premium manufacturers in a variety of sectors. This has resulted in the creation of some exciting products in the industrial design field as well as in the transport sector. One of the first products, a helicopter, for which we worked on the interior, will be presented at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE 2010) in Geneva on May 4, 2010.
In which product areas or sectors do you intend to be actively involved? Is there anything you would not style?
In accordance with the original meaning of our trademark the "Three-Pointed Star" – mobility on land, on water and in the air – it is possible that the portfolio of "Mercedes-Benz Style" will include the styling of boats, aircrafts, helicopters and other transport products. Other products, such as furniture, and industrial as well as lifestyle products, will complement our area of activity. The deciding factor is that both the product and the manufacturer match our exclusive design and brand standards.
Do you intend to style all of the products on your own initiative or will you work with well-known partners?
Basically our service portfolio comprises an entire range of expertise from styling outline through to model creation. In individual cases, however, cooperation with creative people in other disciplines, such as architects or fashion designers, can be very inspiring. But the aim is still to achieve a high-quality end product.
How do you choose partners? What criteria do you stipulate for this?
Our business partners have to go with our own high standards in terms of design, innovation and quality. As part of this, we are just as interested in aspiring, innovative, young companies as we are in successful, established manufacturers. We believe in quality not quantity!
What is your sales strategy?
Our sales strategy is oriented not only towards the relevant business partner but also towards the product. There can be no standard solution.
Mercedes-Benz already has a comprehensive range of accessories which are sold through Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH. How does this differ from "Mercedes-Benz Style"?
Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is already one of our customers for product design, and in a manner of speaking is a customer within our own "family".
Mercedes-Benz car design has a long tradition comprising a multitude of pioneering icons. Where do you see "Mercedes-Benz Style" in five years' time?
We will progress one step at a time, create the look and feel of a range of products each year and launch them on the market together with our respective partners. As always, however, car design will remain our core business.
What will "Mercedes-Benz Style" contribute to the Mercedes-Benz brand itself? Do you expect there to be some influence on your core business, namely vehicle design?
Design creates connections across disciplines and sectors. Styling something is a creative process which comes to life as a result of new impulses. Our work under the "Mercedes-Benz Style" label will also represent an inspiration for our automotive design work – and of course vice-versa.

City police in pursuit of burglary suspectStaff Report | March 07,2013
Rutland City Police are looking a man involved in a burglary on Library Avenue this morning.
Police said around 10:30 a.m. a Library Avenue homeowner came home to find a person "ransacking" his residence. The homeowner demanded to know who the intruder was and the individual responded with a name that police believe to be a fake identification.
The suspect then fled with a bag that police believe was filled with items stolen from the residence. No one was injured in the incident and no weapons were displayed.
Police said the suspect fled east toward Grove Street and then disappeared. A canine from the state Department of Fish & Wildlife was called to the city to help track the suspect. As of 11:30 a.m. police say the scent trail followed by the dog led them south to the downtown transit center.
Police described the suspect as a white man in his 20s, standing between 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 5 feet, 10 inches tall with a slender build. The man was wearing a white jacket and brown pants and carrying a yellow-flowered laundry bag containing several items, police said.

Custom & modified bikes

Who needs the latest Japanese rocketship when British-built bikes can be as fun and fast as this.
MCN man Michael Neeves got to ride this stunning Triumph Thruxton custom motorcycle from owner Robert Sutton and you can read his full roadtest in the January 16 edition of MCN, but in the mean time take a look at the gallery of photos from the test on the right.

Add your comment – Gallery: Triumph Thruxton special
Sign in You must be signed in to submit a comment.
Hi, I read your comments and thought I might throw in my two pence. I own a thruxton '08, which had revised handlebars. I cant comment on previous year models but regarding the '08 Thruxton, I would say that they are comfortable in either fast (100mph) or town (30pmh) 'modes' of riding. However, you need to be in the correct riding possiton. cruising round town I sit further forward on the sadle and sit more up right. If you dont your wrists will ache like... well, they will ache a lot!
On the other hand, at high speed, you will want the bars lower after a while.
I also have found it difficult to get custom parts but I've seen lots of cool mods on the internet. let me know if you know any good sites/places in surrey/uk.
The Thruxton is a 60's inspired thing so if you want loads of chrome maybe a bonnie would be better for you... or have your Thruxton chromed. that would be easy enough..
I, personally, think you might be happier with a bonnie SE and make it look like a Thruxton... which wouldn be hard as they are fundamentally the same bike.
Anyway, if you know a good place where I can get a new head light (just need the glass really, although realize its a sealed unit) for my beloved Thruxton then I would be very greatfull. Asked at Jack Lillys and they wanted £150!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Trails.
11 July 2009 11:34
customizing the Thruxton
OK, seeing there are NO comments up till now, let me add this to the empty page!
I am looking to buy the Thruxton, (or something like the SE and make it look like the Thruxton.) However, I have found that there are not a lot of specialized custom-build & accessories readily available. Of course I could go on the net and buy from the USA or somewhere like that, but in general terms, the Triumph Dealers are really behind the eight ball, when it comes to getting it "just right for you" if that means drifting from what they can sell you off the showroom floor!
For example, I especially like the cowl on the seat, which creates a single seater-look, but I would like the seat to be lower and more comfortable! If I am still at the dealers at this point, I am out of options already because they just stock the standard items....and after they take your money and you take delivery of your bike, not a lot happens when you ask such questions!
I would also like the SE wheels and not the wired ones, because I HATE cleaning and want a minimum of it plus I consider that the alloys will make the bike "modern" or up-to-date...a matter of taste.
The rear wheel is the same as the SE, so I could have that (130/80/17), but the front wheel, if I want the alloy version from the SE on the Thruxton, will go from the 18" standard of the Thruxton to the 17" alloy of the SE.
Will this work? Has anyone tried it?
Thirdly, I love the Thruxton looks, but will not entertain the idea of 1-2hrs in the "crouching tiger" position cause by the low bars. Fine if your afternoon is going around the Isle of Man or the Thruxton circuit, but I want my bike for THE ROAD EVERYDAY!....So I want a more upright seating position, a better seat and ditch the low-bars.. Of course by now the dealer has lost interest and moved on to the next customer, who just wants a plain SE or T100....wired wheels being not a problem!
Finally, I also want the front-wheel mud-guard in CHROME and longer in circumfrence so that the road-flick gets properly diverted. Also the rear-wheel mud-guard, should be CHROMED. By now, even though there are other things I would like, I can see that this Thruxton I have specified, is not about to happen anytime soon...

I've been wanting to get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for quite some time— it was always out of stock at most local bookstores, but yesterday I finally chanced upon a copy! It's quite a treat to read, especially if you've read Pride and Prejudice itself, as the writing similarities are distinct ("It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" and "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains" are hard to miss).Also, Bizu has special Christmas macarons, which I got a couple of, flavored spice and something else I afraid I forgot, but they're quite good. Almost like the feeling you get with gingerbread cookies and cider.
Anyway, I got these celebratory little things because I just got hired and I start my first legit job next week. No big deal ;)
You have it too! Wicked!

text: Since last week's 0 for 3 West Coast swing that saw the Pelicans play three games in three different cities in just four days, the team has had a much lighter schedule. They played only once since returning home. In that game, Monty Williams's young squad showed just how dominant it can be when firing on all cylinders for four quarters. The Pelicans' Saturday night evisceration of the Philadelphia 76ers saw the team start fast and keep their foot on the gas all night. Anthony Davis might have had a triple-double on the night, but the game was so well in hand that he was pulled with three minutes to play... in the third quarter. Davis had only 13 points but chipped in nine rebounds and set a career high in blocks for the third time this season, this time swatting eight shots in only 29 minutes on the floor. The game also saw the long-awaited return of Ryan Anderson, who came off the bench hot, knocking down his first three field goals including two from beyond the arc. Anderson finished the night 10 for 16 and 6 for 10 from the 3-point line. His 26 points led all scorers for the night and was incredibly efficient for his 27 minutes of playing time. In all, the Pelicans had eight players in double-figures When all was said and done, the Pelicans took home a 135-98 victory and perhaps teased what NOLA basketball fans can look forward to when this team fully gels as a cohesive unit. For now, the Pelicans are 4-6 and resume play tonight against the 1-11 Utah Jazz, who are firmly in the basement of the Association, four games behind everyone else in the NBA in the loss column, but whose one win came a week ago against New Orleans in Utah. Elsewhere in the West, the Portland Trail Blazers have quietly racked up seven straight wins. That's tied for the league lead along with the San Antonio Spurs, and at 9-2, they trail the 9-1 Spurs by only half a game in the conference. LaMarcus Aldridge leads the team with 22.6 points a night. Despite flying under the radar through the first 10th of the season, the Blazers will get to make some noise this Friday when they host the Bulls. Out in the City of Angels, the Clippers continue to be the dominant franchise this season, but the Lakers are eyeing the return of Kobe Bryant. Bryant practiced full-speed in 5-on-5 drills on Tuesday for the first time since rupturing his Achilles tendon on April 12. Bryant said he could return to the Lakers lineup as soon as the end of November. And out in the East, the NBA's final unbeaten team finally fell as the Indiana Pacers lost Saturday to the Bulls. Still, at 9-1, the Pacers sport a 1.5 game lead atop the conference with defending champion Miami as their nearest competition at 8-3. The conference as a whole can only boast five teams above .500, compared to nine in the West. The Pacers may not truly get tested until December, when they start the month with back-to-back road games against the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

Google is bringing its Ventures investment arm to Europe, announcing a dedicated $100 million venture capital pot for start-ups in the region.
What a bizarre comment. First, I don't think you can call British pounds sterling a "boutique currency" - it is one of the most widely traded, stable and widely accepted currencies in the world, behind only the US dollar and the Euro.Originally Posted by Star*Dagger
Europe uses Euros (though some countries still use their own boutique currencies).
Also nice to see them go where the real innovation and educated minds are at.

Posted Monday, March 9, 2009 --- 1:40 p.m.
From the Governor's Office:
MADISON – Governor Jim Doyle today announced that Wisconsin will receive an estimated $110.6 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds for Wisconsin's FoodShare program. Starting April 1st, nearly all FoodShare participants will receive a 13.6 percent increase in their maximum food stamp benefit. FoodShare helps people with limited income buy the food they need for their families.
"President Obama understands the difficult times our families are facing and how important this money is to Wisconsin. We need to make sure that our children aren't going hungry and that people in Wisconsin can put food on their table. Each month, more than 500,000 people across our state get help from FoodShare," Governor Doyle said. "Not only is it crucial that our families have access to a basic necessity such as food, we also know that investing in this type of program stimulates the economy."
FoodShare participants automatically will have the extra benefits added to their QUEST card in April. FoodShare members will start to receive letters on Tuesday which announce the increased benefit. Under the law, the increase will stay in place and will not go down in the future. For example, a family of three that receives $250 each month in FoodShare benefits will now get $313 starting April 1st.
According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, food stamps are one of the most effective forms of economic stimulus because low-income individuals generally spend their money on trying to meet essential needs such a food, shelter and transportation. They estimate that for every dollar that a family receives from FoodShare to buy food, it enables them to spend an additional dollar on other items.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that each $1 in FoodShare benefits results in $1.84 in economic activity. It is estimated that the increase in FoodShare benefits will generate more than $135 million per year in economic activity for Wisconsin. This is based upon current program participation levels, so the annual impact on Wisconsin's economy will grow and FoodShare participation increases.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services estimates that the FoodShare program will receive an additional $110.6 million in federal funds from April 1, 2009 through September 2010. In federal fiscal year 2009, Wisconsin expects to receive $36.9 million, and $73.7 million in federal fiscal year 2010.
There are currently 506,360 people enrolled in FoodShare in Wisconsin, which provides food benefits to low-income people, including those who have lost their job, those who are working but have low incomes, those living on a small or fixed income, retired individuals or those who are disabled and not able to work.

MR. CROWLEY: Good afternoon and welcome to the Department of State. It's been a couple of weeks since two of our most senior officials working on Haiti policy have visited with you, so we thought we'd start up with kind of a Haiti update briefing with our chief of staff, Counselor Cheryl Mills, and the Administrator of USAID Raj Shah. And then we'll pick up on other subjects after that.
MS. MILLS: Thank you so much. Oh look, the waters are even labeled by our agencies. That's nice.
BETSY BASSAN: It is now my pleasure to briefly introduce our tribute speaker, Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID administrator. Administrator Shah today celebrates his third week in the position - (applause) - and I'm sure he is saying, what a three weeks it has been. Given all that Administrator Shah has been doing to coordinate the government's Haiti relief effort, we are truly honored that he has taken the time to be with us tonight.
Mr. Duguid: Welcome to the journalists who have joined us. We have with us today at the U.S. Joint Information Center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Colonel Rick Kaiser, K-A-I-S-E-R. He is the Commander of the 20th Engineering Brigade, Joint Task Force, Haiti.
The Colonel is here to talk to us about restoration of essential services in Haiti. Colonel, would you like to make a few remarks?
Colonel Kaiser: Absolutely. Thank you.
Mr. Duguid: Welcome ladies and gentlemen. We are in the U.S. Joint Information Center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Today with us are Mr. Tom Sizemore, the Principal Deputy Director for Preparedness and Emergency Operations at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Accompanying him is Mr. Peter Bloland, the Associate Director for Science and Programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our guests will talk to you about the current health situation in Haiti. They'll begin with a few remarks and then we'll go to your questions.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, Minister Cannon, and thanks to you and Prime Minister Harper and your government for hosting this conference. The United States looks forward, working with everyone here and all of the other participants, to move toward a conference in New York in March.
Mr. Duguid: Thank you very much, and welcome to this afternoon's telepress conference. I must say at the start that we are having some problems with our telephone line. If you hear us in mid-sentence and then suddenly don't hear us again it means our line has probably dropped. We will try and reestablish connection as soon as possible. Please bear with us. We are quite eager to talk to you all today.
English Version:
Chairman's Statement
25 January 2010
Mr. Duguid: This is Gordon Duguid and I'll be your moderator today. We are at the U.S. Joint Information Center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Our guests today are Mr. Tim Callaghan who is the Team Leader for USAID's DART Team in Port-au-Prince now, and we also have with us from Save the Children, Kate Conrad, who is the Emergency Communications Director for Save the Children. They'll each start out with a brief statement and then we'll go to your questions.
Mr. Callaghan, would you like to begin?
SUSAN REICHLE: Great. First I want to thank you all of you for taking the time to hear a little bit about what we're doing in Haiti. For me personally, Haiti is a country that actually was the first that I served in as a foreign service officer, and actually lived at the Montana Hotel. They had apartments there. So the country that unfortunately I had some deep knowledge of from my time there almost 20 years ago and now coming back into it in this new position.
ADMINISTRATOR SHAH: Hello. We've been working very hard, so this was a good chance to come together as a team to talk through some difficult issues and make sure we were living up to the President's expectations.

A passenger uses his mobile phone before a check-in counter of Italian airline Alitalia at Narita International Airport, in suburban Tokyo on April 19, 2010.
WASHINGTON -- Just because it's safe to use cellphones on a plane, it doesn't mean that passengers should call just to say hello.
That argument played out across Washington Thursday as one government agency moved a step closer to removing its prohibition of in-flight calls while another considered a new ban of its own.
The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 to start a months-long public comment process to remove its restriction.

"There is a need to recognize that there is a new technology," said FCC chairman Thomas Wheeler. "This is a technical rule. It is a rule about technology. It is not a rule of usage."
But the Department of Transportation, which oversees aviation, isn't so sure that permitting calls "is fair to consumers" and will consider creating its own ban as part of its consumer protection role.
"Over the past few weeks, we have heard of concerns raised by airlines, travelers, flight attendants, members of Congress and others who are all troubled over the idea of passengers talking on cell phones in flight - and I am concerned about this possibility as well," DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement.
Calls during flights have been prohibited for 22 years over fears that they would interfere with cellular networks on the ground. Technological advances have resolved those concerns, which is one reason Wheeler wants to repeal the rule. He also wants the airlines, not the government, to have final say on in-flight calling.
(WATCH: New Video of San Francisco Jet Crash Released)
But even Wheeler acknowledged the potential annoyance factor.
"I'm the last person in the world who wants to listen to somebody talking" while flying across the country, Wheeler told a House subcommittee Thursday morning.
The FCC proposal comes just weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ban on using personal electronic devices such as iPads and Kindles below 10,000 feet, saying they don't interfere with cockpit instruments.
An Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday found that 48 percent of Americans oppose allowing cellphones to be used for voice calls while flying; just 19 percent support it. Another 30 percent are neutral.
Among those who fly, opposition is stronger. Looking just at Americans who have taken more than one flight in the past year, 59 percent are against allowing calls on planes. That number grows to 78 percent among those who've taken four or more flights.
Delta Air Lines is the only airline to explicitly state that it won't allow voice calls regardless of what the government allows. Delta says years of feedback from customers show "the overwhelming sentiment" is to keep the ban in place. American Airlines, United Airlines and JetBlue Airways all plan to study the issue and listen to feedback from passengers and crew.
Most Middle East airlines and a few in Asia and Europe already allow voice calls on planes. Others allow texting.
(MORE: This is Making a Pilot's Job Much Tougher)
Southwest Airlines on Wednesday started allowing passengers - for $2 a day - to use iPhones to send and receive text messages while on board through a satellite connection. The system will expand to Android phones early next year.
During the FCC hearing, Wheeler acknowledged that he doesn't want to hear other people's conversations on a plane and that he picks Amtrak's quiet car while traveling by train. He reiterated that this change is meant to clean up an outdated regulation, originally passed so air travelers wouldn't overwhelm cell phone towers on the ground.
"The DOT will address the behavioral issues. We're cutting away the technical underbrush," Wheeler said.
But Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said the FCC needs to look outside its four walls.
"We are not just technicians," she said. The agency is not absolved of the consequences of its decisions.
Rosenworcel voted to let the rule continue to the public comment phase but said she doesn't support it.
(WATCH: Amazing Sculpture Made Out of an Anthill)
The reason: Life on planes would change.
"We could see our quiet time monetized and seating in the quiet section would come at a premium," Rosenworcel said. Flying today is already tough enough. "This commission does not need to add to that burden."
The nation's largest flight attendant union opposes allowing voice calls, saying cellphone use could lead to fights between passengers.
The Telecommunications Industry Association, the cell phone providers' trade and lobbying group, supports the change. The association notes that in countries that allow phone use, calls typically last one to two minutes and only a handful of people make them at the same time. Additionally, many of the calls involve checking voicemail, with no speaking by the passenger.
In both the House and the Senate lawmakers have introduced legislation ahead of the FCC meeting that would ban fliers from talking on cell phones midflight.
On Thursday, Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., introduced the The Commercial Flight Courtesy Act. It would limit device use to texting and email if the FCC goes ahead with a rule change.
"When you stop and think about what we hear now in airport lobbies -- babbling about last night's love life, next week's schedule, arguments with spouses - it's not hard to see why the FCC shouldn't allow cell phone conversations on airplanes," Alexander said.

The recording features arguably the most individual group ever to mix elements of jazz, rock and electronics and they're captured here at their absolute best. Led by two musical visionaries, pianist and keyboard player Joe Zawinul and tenor and soprano saxophonist Wayne Shorter, the group was also unique in that it eschewed the then fashionable guitar. Also on board were flamboyant electric bassist Jaco Pastorius, a genuine innovator, and newly arrived drummer Peter Erskine a master technician brought into the group to add more of a jazz feel. Prior to this line up an additional percussionist had always been present but this auxiliary role was dropped to allow greater space in the music.
Personnel: Joe Zawinul (keyboards), Wanye Shorter (tenor and soprano saxophone), Jaco Pastorius (electric bass), Peter Erkskine (drums)
