FCC Broadband Problem List Omits 'No Competition,' FCC Itself
Policy Counsel
Senior Director of Federal Policy and the Washington Office
We empower consumers through education and action about communication and media issues involving telephone, cable, Internet and wireless services and equipment.
The vast majority of the time, FCC policy presented to the public as being centered around creating competition, is really just the technological equivalent of giving Ma Bell a backrub. "Franchise reform" is one such example; the FCC insisted the revamped state-level franchise rules lobbied for by AT&T and Verizon would lower TV prices — but the real result was the erosion of local consumer protections, higher prices, and increased "cherry picking" of next-gen broadband deployment.

TORONTO - Actor Samuel Roukin — who plays John Graves Simcoe on AMC's "Turn" — says he's captivated by characters who have two distinct personas.
On the historical drama set during the American Revolution, Simcoe is the bad guy. But in Canada, Simcoe — the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada — is remembered as the man who helped grow a fledgling colony and now has a provincial holiday (Simcoe Day) named after him.
"It is fascinating when there is a reverence for a man and yet there are negative stories about him," said Samuel Roukin, the British actor who portrays Simcoe on "Turn," which has its Season One finale Sunday.
Canadian history professor Francoise Noel, who teaches a course on Upper Canada history at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ont., hypothesized that the negative view from Americans about Simcoe was in part because of his success as a military officer during the Revolution.
Noel says that in Ontario, Simcoe is remembered for helping to take a sparsely populated colony and put it on the road to the thriving province Ontario would eventually become.
"His positive legacies including moving the capital to York (later renamed Toronto), building Yonge Street and Dundas Street to help grow the transportation infrastructure," she said.
He is also credited with the Late Loyalist movement, which was the migration of Americans to Upper Canada after the end of the American Revolution. It does not seem that Simcoe held any grudges against the rebels.
"He opened Upper Canada to Americans," Noel said. "He saw Americans as good subjects."
Craig Silverstein, the creator and showrunner for "Turn," admits that his show isn't historically accurate — and says it isn't trying to be.
"You take your cue from history and then you try to leave it behind and invent," he said.
Silverstein didn't know about Simcoe prior to reading the book "Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring" by Alexander Rose, upon which the show is based. Simcoe is mentioned in that book as someone who had a rivalry of sorts with Abraham Woodhull, who is the protagonist in "Turn," played by Jamie Bell.
Silverstein says that in the original pilot for "Turn," Simcoe died at the end of the episode, but Roukin's portrayal forced the producers to rethink that decision.
"We needed someone that kind of fit the mould of scary and brutal," he said.
In preparation for the role, Roukin did quite a bit of research, including reading Simcoe's war journals.
"He was arguably a real romantic," Roukin said. "He wrote a lot of poetry." This includes being credited with the first Valentine's Day letter in history.
"You can infuse this information into the role," Roukin said, adding that at some point you need to stop doing research. "There really is a point where the script becomes your primary source."
During the American Revolution, Simcoe rose from lieutenant to lieutenant-colonel by the end of the war. Born in Cotterstock, England in 1752 to a father who was British naval captain, Simcoe was educated at the prestigious boarding school Eton College — where Prince William and Prince Harry would attend a couple of centuries later — and Oxford before joining the military.
Noel points out that during his time in Upper Canada, Simcoe and his wife Elizabeth are remembered for bringing the British aristocratic system to the backwaters of Upper Canada.
His support of, and belief, in the British system has resulted in some criticisms of Simcoe. Noel said that historians often negatively portray Simcoe's use of patronage, though common at the time, during his stint as lieutenant-governor. Some go so far as to connect it to the Family Compact that would control Upper Canada's politics during the early 19th Century.
Roukin says that he used the historical Simcoe to form the backbone of the fictional counterpart.
"He has really firm set of morals and beliefs in the (British) Empire and in the way that people should behave," he said, adding that Simcoe the character doesn't believe he is going around being the bad guy.
"He believes that he is going around behaving in an honourable way and dishing out punishment that completely fits the crime," he said. "It's just that rest of the world doesn't always agree with him."
On "Turn," Simcoe often comes across as a bit of bully with a potential sadistic and vengeful side to him, while his behaviour towards women is less romantic and more lecherous.
Silverstein is intrigued by how Simcoe goes from where he is during the war to the man Canadians remember him as. But he adds that people should not expect to see that Simcoe anytime soon, rather quite the opposite.
"He is heading along the path that history intended, which is taking over the Queen's Rangers," Silverstein said.
During Simcoe's time as the leader of The Queen's Rangers, a light infantry unit, he earned the reputation as a one of the top British commanders during the war and the ire of Americans for what some would describe as brutal tactics. One incident that Roukin read about included the beating of Abraham Woodhull's father just to send the American a message.
"If that is something that made it into the history books, than what didn't?" Roukin asks.
As for this Sunday, Silverstein teased that, "Simcoe is unleashed in the finale."

What do you envision when you think of user experience (UX) deliverables? If you're like most people outside the UX world, wireframes are likely the first thing that comes to mind. Wireframes are created to provide a visual representation of how a website or application should be constructed. This often consists of vetted information architecture, page layouts, and user interactions that support an optimal user experience. Wireframes, in their most common form, are low-fidelity black and white depictions of where information should be located within a website or application.
Wireframes are most often the largest (and in some case only) deliverable output from UX professionals. Wireframes are regarded as the "meat and potatoes" of UX and are an expected deliverable for any project. In the past, low-fidelity wireframes were presented to stakeholders for approval and passed on to design for the next step in the linear process, but was this enough? As projects evolve and stakeholder expectations change, low-fidelity wireframes are not always sufficient to satisfy the task at hand. Stakeholders often disregard them in anticipation of design or don't understand how wireframes will translate into the exciting experience they desire. So what can be done? How can we evolve the role of wireframes to accommodate all projects?
Use wireframes internally. Create low-fidelity wireframes to be used for internal discussions and requirements. This still ensures that the framework for the experience is created with the user in mind, but doesn't require a formal presentation to stakeholders (which may lead to confusion or disappointment). Instead, hours typically spent creating presentable wireframes can be used for collaborative activities during the requirements gathering, creative, development, and quality assurance (QA) stages of the project. Depending on project needs, internal wireframes can range from whiteboard or paper sketches to clickable html prototypes.
This technique works best for projects with tight timelines or clients who are more design focused with little to no interest in viewing or understanding wireframes.
Create medium-fidelity wireframes. Find a balance between outlined boxes on a page and full creative comps. Create wireframes that demonstrate a more comprehensive experience in addition to the skeletal layout of the site or application. Experimenting with different shades of gray and including contextual copy and "for placement only" (FPO) imagery help stakeholders understand where the site or application is going without seeing full creative.
This technique is helpful with lighter, marketing-focused projects.
Team up with design. Instead of presenting wireframes as a unique deliverable during the process, find ways to include design elements in conjunction with the wireframe presentation. Conduct brainstorming sessions with designers to create a shared vision of the site or application. Together, UX and design can create wireframe concepts with design elements that support the design process. This can range from a simple inclusion of high-fidelity elements within the wireframe itself (colors, sample imagery, etc.), to accompanying mood boards, or even to fully vetted creative comps of key pages. While this approach may go against traditional wireframes, it does help give stakeholders an understanding of the entire experience beyond black and white.
This technique is best used for projects that require wireframe development and review but also need additional elements to paint the "big picture" for the clients.
Every project is different, just like every stakeholder is different. Some stakeholders are receptive to traditional wireframes and can understand the intent, while others are unable to look past the low fidelity that comes with wireframes. The approaches suggested above may not work for every project, but hopefully open us up to alternate ways to approach wireframes that help stakeholders gain an understanding of the anticipated experience without confusion or disinterest.
In the end it's all about creating a great experience for the users. The processes and approaches used along the way don't have to follow a cookie cutter process. Experiment. Break the rules. Find ways to evolve UX deliverables to meet the changing needs of the digital world we live in. Create an even better experience.

Coronation Street star William Roache is standing trial accused of committing historic sexual offences against five girls.
The 81-year-old veteran soap star was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, last May and later charged with two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in Rossendale in 1967.
A month later he was additionally charged with five indecent assaults involving four girls aged 16 and under, allegedly committed in the Manchester area between 1965 and 1971.
Mr Roache denies all the allegations.
Dean Kirby is at Preston Crown Court covering the proceedings.
We'll have live updates from Preston Crown Court throughout the day here as the trial of Coronation Street actor William Roache continues.
The 81-year-old veteran soap star was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, last May and later charged with two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in Rossendale in 1967.
A month later he was additionally charged with five indecent assaults involving four girls aged 16 and under, allegedly committed in the Manchester area between 1965 and 1971.
Today, a woman who told detectives Roache was "like an octopus" with "hands everywhere" is due to be cross-examined today.
Proceedings are due to start at around 10am.
I'm at Preston Crown Court where the prosecution case against Coronation Street actor William Roache is due to resume at 10am
We've been told that the case will resume at 10.30am. The court is now beginning to fill up and the barristers are in their places ready to start.
Some legal discussions have been taking place and the judge has adjourned the case until 11.15am, when a woman who told detectives William Roache was "like an octopus" with "hands everywhere" is expected to be cross-examined.
Court No.1 is filling up again and proceedings are expected to re-start shortly.
The jury are now in their seats and the witness has begun resuming her evidence via a video link. She is being cross-examined by Mr Roache's barrister Louise Blackwell QC.
The witness is being asked about the interviews she gave to police after she made allegations about Mr Roache.
The witness says she was "petrified" when she spoke to the police. She tells the court she "exaggerated" when she told officers she had been to Granada Studios about 100 times.
The court hears she went "a couple of times a week over a four-week period". The witness says: "I remember the most important things. The important thing is what he did."
The witness says another actor on the soap called William Roache by the name "Cockroach" and told her: "Keep your eye on him. He will lead you astray."
Asked who told her this, she say it was "Elsie Tanner's husband". She later says: "I remember now. It was Len Fairclough."
She tells Mr Roache's barrister: "It happened. No matter what you're saying or what your job is. I have no reason to lie - no reason in the world."
After further questioning, the witness says: "I'm rambling again. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just getting so confused."
Ms Blackwell says: "Are you even trying to tell the truth?"
The witness tells her: "I am telling the truth. Why would I put myself through this?"
The witness adds: "I'm sorry for all this confusion. I'm just so mixed up with everything."
She is now being shown through the seven-page statement she gave to the police.
The witness has been answering questions about her statement relating to any contact she has had with the media.
She says: "I could have sold my story but I didn't sell my story. I told nobody apart from people who should know."
After further questioning about her statement, she says: "I'm sorry. I cannot remember anything at the moment. I'm just answering your questions the only way I can - honestly."
The jury has now been sent out for lunch. The trial will resume at 2pm.
No. 1 court is now starting to fill up again for the afternoon session, which is due to start in just a few minutes.
The witness from this morning will continue to be cross-examined by Mr Roache's barrister Louise Blackwell QC.
The jury has now been brought back in to court and the witness is resuming her evidence via video link.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says she spoke to a journalist from ITN who wanted her to do an interview.
Asked why she didn't send the journalist away at the door and instead invited her to sit down, she says. "I didn't want to be rude."
The witness she cannot remember specific dates and times. She says: "It's an awful lot to remember. I am confused with all the dates. I'm here as a witness to witness what happened in that room. If I had known what I was going to go though, I wouldn't have come forward.
"I feel like I'm on trial here. It's Mr Barlow, Ken Barlow, who has done it, not me. The issue is what he did to me. I'm sorry, but, as a victim, I'm so sorry that I ever come forward."
She said she remembered the alleged incident "as if it was yesterday"
She says William Roache gave her access to Granada Studios on the day of the alleged incident and adds: "We went down some stairs and turned to the right."
She says she went inside the set of the Rover's Return with Mr Roache before he allegedly showed her his dressing room.
She said: "We went into the pub and saw all the lights. The bar was on the right and the snugs were on the left."
She says she is sure they went to see the set before they went to the dressing room.
She says there was "no way" she would have gone with Mr Roache to see the Rovers after coming out of his dressing room.
She says: "I know what happened in that room."
The court hears that in her police interview she said she "could not remember" whether she had visited the Rovers before or after the alleged dressing room incident.
The witness is asked why she told police that "Mike Baldwin" had told her to "watch out" for William Roache and why she had told the court this morning it was "Len Fairclough".
She says: "I got mixed up between the two because I had met Mike Baldwin more than a few times."
She tells the court again that it was "Len Fairclough" who told her to "keep an eye" on William Roache.
She says: "He said, 'Keep an eye on that one. He will lead you astray'. Then he called him 'Cockroach' with a capital C."
Ms Blackwell says: "You haven't been telling the truth at all have you."
The woman says: "I've not come here to be called a liar. I've put myself through months of hell just to come here to be called a liar.
"You can say what you want. I know it's true. He knows it. When we watched Ken Barlow on Coronation Street, we were starstruck. What we didn't know was that he has another name, Bill Roache, and he wasn't a very nice man."
The woman adds: "People will say he is a lovely man. On Coronation Street, he was. It's easy for you to sit there and judge, but you were not in that room.
"He assaulted me, whether he likes it or not. I've had to carry it around with me. Can you imagine what would have happened if I had gone as a child to the police."
The woman's husband is now giving evidence from the witness box. He says she told him shortly after they married that William Roache had "tried it on" with her.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says his wife told him that Mr Roache gave her a lift in his Rolls-Royce. He says: "I know she had told me at one time she went home with him in his Rolls-Royce.
The man had now finished his evidence and the court is taking a short break
The jury is now back in court and the next witness has begun giving evidence by video link. The court is being shown a DVD of an interview she gave to police. She says in the DVD that as a teenager she went to Granada Studios in the school holidays to collect autographs with her sister.
The woman says in the DVD she was with her sister inside Granada Studios on the day her sister claims she was assaulted by William Roache. She says her sister told her Mr Roache was "like an octopus" and had his hands all over her. The woman also says in the DVD that on another day she and a friend were given a lift by Mr Roache in his Rolls-Royce. She claims that, while they were in the car, he performed a sex act.
The jury has now been sent home for the day. The prosecution case will resume at 10am tomorrow.

Hitting between Mike Trout and Albert Pujols suits Torii Hunter just fine.
Hunter was in the lineup in the No. 2 spot in the batting order for the sixth straight game Wednesday night, the finale of the three-game Dodger Stadium portion of the Freeway Series.
Hunter hadn't hit second at all this season before manager Mike Scioscia tried him there against Colorado on June 8. Hunter responded by going 3 for 5 with two homers and six RBI. During his five games in the "two hole," he's 12 for 24 with three homers, eight runs scored and nine RBI, and the Angels won four of the five.
"Hitting in the second spot is not so bad. I kind of like it," Hunter said before the game.
It helps that Trout, batting leadoff, is the second-hottest hitter in the AL next to Chicago's Paul Konerko. Since May 1 Trout is hitting .354 (56 for 154), while Konerko is hitting .367 during that time.
Protecting Hunter is none other than Albert Pujols, who is hitting .377 in his last 20 games, with eight doubles, six homers and 19 RBI, raising his batting average from .211 to .263.
"I'm getting a lot more fastballs," Hunter said. "Even the breaking pitches, they're not in the dirt, they're up."
Last year Hunter hit No. 2 in 30 games, but he batted only .198. In August he said this:
"I've never hit there in my career – not in the minor leagues, not in Little League," Hunter said. "I've been hitting 3, 4, 5, 6 my whole career. I'm just comfortable with it. That's the way it is. ... You look at little guys in the two-hole, slapping the ball around, hitting-and-running. That's no fun. I like to swing hard."
Hunter is swinging hard and still doing the job as a No. 2. And Scioscia sees no need to mess with it. "We'll stick with it for a while."

Hong Kong Luxury Sales Explode on Mainland Tourism
HONG KONG ( TheStreet) -- Canton Road sounds like the name of a commercial hub in old southern China before it was renamed Guangdong and the roads began turning into flyovers. You could imagine people crowding around for steaming pork buns, squawking chickens and chilling chats with fortunetellers.
Canton Road is in Hong Kong, a reservoir of Cantonese culture with an overlay of British laws and city planning. But most of the people who shop there come from mainland China. They throng the outlets of Burberry (BRBY.L), Christian Dior (CDI.PA), Gucci (GUCG) and Louis Vuitton (MC.PA). It's not just window-shopping.
As a result, fast-rising rents in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay shopping magnet have surpassed those of former top-ranked Fifth Avenue in New York, per findings released this month by property consultancy Cushman & Wakefield.
Who but the world's leading brands could afford to sustain there?Tourism is all but synonymous with shopping when it comes to mainland Chinese in Hong Kong. With China on a campaign to double people's incomes from an average of $4,940 by 2020, the city that already sits comfortably as an Asian financial center is just going to grab even more money from its bigger-than-big brother to the north. Put simply, the brands sold on Canton Road will rake in more from Chinese tourists. The Nielsen Co. says those shoppers tend to have above-average incomes and ration out their spending with an average trip bill of $1,548. Of that, 59% goes to shopping that's so intense that the last purchase may be an extra suitcase. I spent part of an evening on Canton Road earlier this month to see how this works -- and why, given that you can get the same stuff all over mainland China. Mandarin Chinese was the only language I heard along the festively lit street near the harbor of Kong Kong's vast Kowloon district. Groups of 20-some friends and families with infant children lined up 10 to 20 apiece, and in high spirits, at Hermes and Prada, which apparently don't want their fashion shops to get overcrowded. I also met a storybook family patriarch who leaned against a post outside the shops with a flotilla of shopping bags. The women in my family are all inside, he said, smiling with pride that they could afford it all (consider China's legacy of poverty).

Economics CPD Courses Coming up this Term!- Book Your Places Now!
WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Budget 2012 - analysis with evidence
As ever, there are loads of sources that students can use to analyse the Budget and to extract pieces of Evidence for the Examples they will need to add depth to their analysis in essays. Those who are attending the current round of revision workshops will recognise this as a key part of ensuring that they write essays which PEEL the answer (each paragraph makes one Point, using Examples with Evidence, offering Evaluation and Linking to the question). As start points, I would suggest these sources which are reasonably free of opinions:
BBC website: Budget 2012 at a glance, Farewell 50p tax rate, and Over 65-s tax-free income freeze
The Guardian Budget 2012: welfare cuts, tax cuts too, but retreat on child benefit and for the visual learners a nice graphic version: Tax and spending plans visualised
This year's Budget offers valuable material for many parts of both AS and A2 papers - obviously fiscal policy for both AS and A2, with the opportunity to pick out measures designed to influence the supply side and the demand side of the economy, and evaluate the likely impact on macroeconomic performance. But also for AS micro there are plenty of examples of government intervention aimed at market failures, and for A2 micro there is a strong focus on redistribution of income - to what extent to you agree with Ed Miliband's accusation that this is a 'Budget for millionaires', or that it will benefit the young at the expense of the pensioners?

The Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) is the only statewide organization dedicated specifically
to Connecticut's birds, birders, and birding.
The COA CT Email Lists are open to everyone.
CT Birds archive | CT Daily archive | Report a Rare Bird | Get CT RARE Daily Reports
The best place to report bird sightings in Connecticut is on CTBirds, the open discussion list. Posts to CTBirds must come from an email address that is subscribed to the list. Subscribers have a choice between: receiving each email as it happens; receiving a digest combining several messages up to a few times a day; or not receiving any messages at all and read posts here instead. Reports sent to CTBirds are sent immediately to everyone subscribed to the list, and appear on websites immediately too.
For those not subscribed to CTBirds we have an email address where you can send reports, firstname.lastname@example.com. We try to keep an eye on that so any special reports can be passed along on CTBirds as soon as possible, but there is always an unpredictable delay before the word gets out.
The CTBirds email list is generally the fastest way to find out about bird sightings in Connecticut (though there is more to it than just sighting reports!) While anyone can read CTBirds posts on the web, you must subscribe to CTBirds to be able to post messages to the list.
There is also a second email list, the CT Daily Report. Subscribers to CTDaily get one message each night that summarizes sightings in a brief, structured format with many interesting details (and birds!) removed. Almost 100% of what appears there was on CTBirds earlier. For someone without the time to follow CTBirds this could be helpful.
We created CTBirds, an open discussion email list, for the Connecticut birding community to discuss birds and birding in the state. Tell everyone about what you are seeing, ask questions about birds or places to bird, discuss bird conservation or details of bird identification, it is up to you. Anything about Connecticut birds or of interest to Connecticut birders is appropriate.
A few of the ways we hope it will be used include:
When you sign up for this list you will begin receiving new messages immediately. There may be a short wait before you can post while a moderator tries to be sure you are a person and not a spambot. You can choose between receiving each message, or a digest of messages, and can even suspend receiving messages entirely.
All subscription requests and changes are made at:http://lists.ctbirding.org/mailman/listinfo/ctbirds_lists.ctbirding.org
After signing up you will receive an email with instructions on completing the process.
Messages to the CT Birds list may also be viewed on the web in a few places.
Get updates of RARE sightings sent daily to your email. This list is primarily meant to meet the informational needs of the active CT birder. Rare sightings from surrounding state email hotlines are also passed on.
The RARE sightings (also known as the Daily report) is now handled through a mailing list. Subscribers should follow the subscription instructions at:
Multiple individuals maintain these lists on multiple computers.
Therefore, all requests for revisions need to include:
Revision requests will be forwarded to the appropriate individuals.
Reports should be posted to CTBirds. For those not subscribed to CTBirds, send them to email@example.com
Before CTBirds had been started we had some strict formatting rules for reports to make compiling the Daily Report manageable. Fostering the free discussion that is at the heart of CTBirds made requiring that format impractical, but many birders still use it, or include it as an addendum to their CTBirds posting. To all of you who do this, thank you from the bottom of my heart, it is much appreciated. For those who would like to share in that appreciation here is an outline of the standard format used in the CT Daily Report.
Required information for reports and other formatting guidelines are below.
Migration Notes: When appropriate, returning or migrating birds will be compiled and posted in Migration Notes at the bottom of the Daily Report. The species that will be included in migration notes are listed on the Common Birds page.
The guidelines below have been developed to help the compilers and to minimize confusion. We ask you to remember that the compilers are volunteers who are using their precious spare time to enhance your birding experience. Please respect the compilers and follow the guidelines as best you can. While the guidelines may appear daunting at first, one good way of learning them is to submit your sightings and then watch for how they are posted in the compiled report.
Reports should be submitted in paragraph format per the 4 W's of reporting listed below:
WHO, WHEN, WHERE, and WHAT.
Here is an example:
From Dori Sosensky:
2/5 with Nick Bonomo - Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park, Meig's Point - female KING EIDER near the red buoy off the jetty. 2 LAPLAND LONGSPURS, 1 EASTERN MEADOWLARK.
Milford, Silver Sands State Park - 2 SHORT-EARED OWLS
1) WHO: Reports should start with From your name (first then last): - When you don't include your name and it isn't in your email address we don't know from whom the email was sent. Additional viewers of the species may be included in the From portion or may be in the body of the report listed as With their names where ever appropriate in the body.
2) WHEN: Include the numeric month and day. When reporting multiple days start each day on a new line.
3) WHERE: The City or Town of the sighting is required. If it happens that we do not know the town, the sighting will not be included. Please start with the town, then a location within the town such as a park or street address, and where appropriate, and for less common birds only, a more specific location such as a part of the park. Each town may start on a new line.
From Dori Sosensky:
2/5 with Nick Bonomo - Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park, Meig's Point - female KING EIDER near the red buoy off the jetty. 2 LAPLAND LONGSPURS, 1 EASTERN MEADOWLARK.
Milford, Silver Sands State Park - 2 SHORT-EARED OWLS
2/4 Walllingford, North Farms Reservoir - female NORTHERN SHOVELER; farm fields at the corner of Cooke Rd and Northford Rd with Dave Provencher- 2 WHITE-FRONTED GEESE in with the CANADA GEESE.
4) WHAT - Rarities:
This list is primarily meant for Rare to Uncommon bird sightings. If you are unsure if a bird is reportable include it. We will be happy to do the editing.
Please help the RBA compilers by capitalizing bird names.
Migration Notes:
Since they are also of interest common returning or migrating birds will be compiled and posted in Migration Notes at the bottom of the report. Reporter names will not be included in this portion of the report. The species which will be included in migration notes are listed on the Common Birds page.
We understand that there seem to be a good many rules. Please do not let that stop you from reporting a sighting. If you do not follow a guideline or two the bird reporting police will not be sent to your home in the middle of the night.
Since we are doing the work, the editing is done with our best judgment, which has been known to be faulty on one occasion (o.k. 2 {;>). Additionally, while we readily admit to having small minds, consistency is not our strongest point. So please do not be insulted if we edit a species out of your report and not someone else's. There may be a good reason for it, such as it is common where you reported it and uncommon in the other location. Or the only reason may be that we are going cross eyed while trying to get the report out.
Thanks to everyone who submits reports.
You each contribute to the increased quality of birding we now enjoy in CT.

December 22, 2014
PARSONS, Tenn. (AP) -- They are a symbol of unity and hope, the pink bows that adorn mailboxes, lamp posts and store fronts in this town.
Holly Bobo's disappearance from her Parsons home two years ago is the reason for the bows.
Residents say the decorations represent the fact that they are spiritually bound to each other, both in their faith in God and desire for the nursing student to be found alive.
Interest in the case has been rekindled in recent days after news that Bobo's purse was found by neighborhood dogs, who took it to a nearby home.
The find led the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to search an area near the disappeared woman's rural home on Thursday. A TBI spokeswoman said nothing was found and the search didn't resume Friday.

Tuesday 9 April 2013
The rise of remote working has done little to reduce the reliance on desktops, according to a new survey which shows the vast majority of staff are still using a PC for office-based work.
Global analyst Forrester's new Forrsights Hardware Survey shows that 91 per cent of workers use a desktop PC when they are in the office, compared with just nine per cent who utilise laptops, tablets and other wireless technology as their main hardware device.
However, rather than choosing between one device or another, modern workers are increasingly combining the two, using a PC when at the desk and then utilising laptops and - to an even greater extent - tablets when on the move.
The advantage for firms is that it can help when controlling business costs, ensuring staff have access to corporate networks even when outside of the office and meaning that downtime is kept to a minimum, which further enhances business continuity.
The survey did shed light on the nature of modern employees' daily working arrangements, however, revealing that 29 per cent can now be classed as 'anytime, anywhere' workers with no set base.

SPACE STATION 76 Trailer Shows Patrick Wilson, Matt Bomer and Liv Tyler Living in Deep Space 70s-Style
by Perri Nemiroff Posted 152 days ago
We've got an abundance of films set in a futuristic version of space, but what if space travel and deep space living more closely resembled the 70s instead? That's exactly what Jack Plotnick's feature directorial debut is all about. Rather than run with a single primary narrative, Space Station 76 puts the focus on a number of main characters going about their daily lives on a refueling station called the Omega 76.
There's the bitter captain, Glenn (Patrick Wilson), his new assistant captain, Jessica (Liv Tyler), the space station mechanic, Ted (Matt Bomer), and his wife Misty (Marisa Coughlan) who struts around without a care in the world, often neglecting her own daughter. You can catch them all in action in the very first Space Station 76 trailer after the jump.

KINGSTON, Tenn. (WVLT) The city of Kingston is collecting flashlights and batteries to send to the Philippines for Typhoon Haiyan relief.
City Manager David Bolling is organizing the collection. He started asking people to drop off flashlights and batteries through Facebook on Monday, and has been happy with how much has been donated.
"We've got about 120 already, and we're hoping to add to that," Bolling said.
The flashlights and batteries will be boxed up and packaged beginning Friday so that it gets to the Philippines by early next week.
Bolling is hoping more people will stop by City Hall to donate and help.
There are several other options for people to donate to relief efforts.
The city of Clinton is also hosting a flashlight and battery drop off.
The Filipino American Catholic Community of East Tennessee is asking for monetary donations to be sent to Sacred Heart Church so it can be sent to the Arch Diocese in Taclaban.
The American Red Cross is also accepting donations through its website, redcross.org.

Its site occupies the northeast corner of Fleet and Exeter Streets in the Little Italy neighborhood of Baltimore. The Bagby Building has a shallow gable roof. Brick architectural detailing includes piers, segmental and jack arches above openings, a corbeled watertable, and a corbeled cornice. The building was modernized with new windows and 1st floor office space in 1950. Despite changes, the Bagby Furniture Company Building retains its early 20th century architectural character and possesses sufficient integrity to convey its historic associations.
The Bagby Furniture Company Building, constructed between 1902 and 1907, represents a locally significant component of Baltimore's furniture industry. The Bagby Furniture Company, which operated from 1879 to 1990,embodied adaptive strategies that enabled a 19th century furniture manufacturing concern to evolve and continue in the furniture business through the 20th century. The building is significant for its association with the evolution of Baltimore's furniture industry, and for its association with William Hugh Bagby, a major figure in the wholesale furniture business. The period of significance for the building is 1902 to 1947,t he year William Hugh Bagby was named "Man of the Decade" by the National Wholesale Furniture Association. Designed by English-born architect Alfred Mason, the four story Bagby Furniture Company Building retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic association, despite a 1962 concrete block addition and the loss of integrity of remaining minor structures on the site.

Bob Dylan is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone, as the mag revisits his 1970's era release Self Portrait.
The cover story focuses mainly on the story of Self Portrait's creation, and includes new interviews with Dylan collaborators Al Kooper, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, David Bromberg and Happy Traum.
"I thought it was strange, strange, strange," says Kooper of Self Portrait, which consists mainly of cover songs. "Why is the Shakespeare of songwriting doing other people's songs? And why is he doing all these old folk songs? What's going on?"
The story also tracks Dylan's career from his motorcycle accident in 1966 through his return to the charts in 1973 with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door."
The new issue hits news stands on August 30.

The cast and crew from ''The Lord Of The Rings'' are one of our Entertainers of the Year
Ring in the year, ring out the year. It was 365 days bewitched by hobbits and elves, wizards and...swords with pretty names. Last December's The Two Towers ushered in 2003 as the No. 1 movie. Now the swooping, epic finale to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, is poised to take the box office crown through December and right into the new year again.
For three years, this scramble through Middle-earth has kept us dazzled with heroes who bear pointy ears, fuzzy feet, and tight, fated smiles. We worried. We rejoiced. Most important, we believed, and for that, the artists who created The Lord of the Rings are our Entertainers of the Year.
What an audacious, swaggering wager it was. Rather than tiptoe through the trilogy, New Line Cinema decided to film all three movies at once, over 15 months, at about $100 million each. The cast? Respected, but hardly marquee. Add to this J.R.R. Tolkien's prickly fan base, which was sure to shred any adaptation, and the fact that just a few years ago, fantasy was a joke.
Heading the enterprise: producer-writer-director Peter Jackson. At the time, the New Zealander (who insisted on filming in his homeland) boasted a resume that included one chilly jewel of an art-house film, Heavenly Creatures, and a bonanza of blood-splatting horror flicks. Not one of his movies had grossed more than $17 million.
No matter. The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers have become two of the most beloved movies ever -- together grossing $1.8 billion worldwide (even Tolkienists hurrahed). King now looks primed to join the pantheon. Not that anyone who has worked with Jackson doubted it. ''It's just something that's in his blood,'' says Elijah Wood, who plays Frodo. ''He absolutely was overwhelmed with passion to make these movies. And he set up this incredible team to support him.'' Jackson's design and computer graphics folks created the toy town of Hobbiton in film 1 and the freaky arachnid in film 3, and tended to the tiniest details. Example: Two guys spent months assembling 12.5 million rings for an army's worth of chain mail.
The cast too was inspired. Consider Wood, who crossed with pure grace from child actor to tortured hobbit, and Ian McKellen, who, as the clever, crotchety wizard Gandalf, is the only actor to earn an Oscar nod thus far. One lucky role call came with Viggo Mortensen, who hopped a plane to New Zealand when Jackson decided to recast his Aragorn. He began his haunting, haunted turn as the king-to-be days later. Mortensen credits a generous fellowship on and off screen for the trilogy's warmth: ''The way the movies were made was in the spirit of Tolkien, which is about community.''
Naturally, the Oscar question resurfaces. Fellowship and Two Towers earned a combined 19 nods, but took home just six. This past year, director Jackson wasn't even nominated. ''After what he's accomplished in the seven years of working on these things, it would be a shame if he wasn't acknowledged,'' Wood says. ''Because I think it is pretty extraordinary.''

There's plenty of fish out there.
Don't sweat it, chicks are ****in crazy. Bonus, no V-day money to blow, buy a plane ticket somewhere warm
i assume your in high school too? bro dont care about it. i mean if your girl knew you were writing online about her and that sad she would feel in powe. the best thing to do is rub it off your shoulder and pretend like she doesnt exist and find another girl soon. be glad its now and not after v-day and now you can surf more
yep best thing you can do is move on. find some easy girl and hook up. you'll feel alot better afterward.
Go surfing
this is what i tell my parents and my older sister when they ask me how my love life is. its like a 1 night stand u find a hot girl bang her than in the morning get her number and leave. as if your in a relationship and your walking on the beach and a hot girl walks by you cant check her out or you get slapped so if you do what i say you can walk with how ever many hot girls you want to and check every hot girl out.
yeah it sucks man, but go to college and you'll be over her fast. Think about the future and stay way from serious relationships until your a man. Until then, screw everything that walks on 2 legs, because once your married with kids that's all history.
PS wear a rubber, and I don't mean a 5/4
Stay active surf workout hang out with your friends. If you are real torn up about this girl do not jump on the next piece off ass that walks by...the immediate effects are great but it doesn't help in the long run. Been in your shoes before the drama of another girl does nothing but intensify an already sh*tty situation. Best advice is time...in a couple weeks you'll be over it. Perspective is everything...focus on the positive.
Agree with pumpmaster 100%, find some other girl just to get her off your mind and it'll be history, whatever you do, don't make an effort to talk to her or be friends. She'll realize she f'd up, come running back, and then you'll be over her and be able to deny her and feel like a million bucks.
Things happen for a reason man, maybe god thought you weren't getting enough surf time, get out there this weekend for a snow session!

Folded steel Samurai Swords
In the folded steel series, the grip construction features genuine ray skin covered wood, wrapped very tightly in the traditional pattern to display the ray skin and the menuki. The tsuba are meticulously crafted in traditional themes, which are repeated in the fuchi, kashira, and menuki. The deeply lacquered wood scabbards have authentic polished horn fittings and protective bag is supplied with each piece.
The blades in this series are hand forged and folded from ASSAB-120C Swedish high carbon steel, which offers outstanding edge holding properties and is a much harder steel. The steel is folded 8-10 times. The edge-tempering process (clay firing) produces a edge hardness of RC60 and a back hardness of RC40. This allows for a hard cutting edge and a softer back to absorb the shock from the cutting stroke. After the blades are heat treated, they are then hand polished using traditional methods revealing the hamon line as well as the linear folding pattern giving each blade its own unique appearance.
All swords are sharp and ready for tameshi-geri (cutting).

Among the most important qualities customers look for in a business are courteous treatment, prompt and knowledgeable service, a positive attitude, integrity and credibility, and whether their needs are satisfied. Do your employees score high in all these areas? If not, how do you go about grooming your employees for service in the "diplomatic corps"?
Start by letting them in on some "company intelligence" about what turns customers off:
1. The waiting game. Long lines or inattentive clerks won't do. Nor will service counters with "Next window, please" placards on all but one station.
2. The zombie. These workers seem to be in a trance or heavily sedated. They don't make eye contact or act with a sense of urgency; they just go through the motions.
3. The antagonist. Customers are not the enemy, but frequently they are made to feel as if they are. When customers sense they are merely a transaction--or, worse, an interruption--they rarely return. Employee rudeness, impatience and judgmental remarks occur far too frequently, and nothing is more damaging to your company image.
4. The bare minimum. When an employee won't go the extra mile to satisfy a customer or seems annoyed by questions or requests, customers vanish, never to be seen again.
5. The know-nothing. Workers who are poorly trained and can't answer questions about your product or service are useless to you and your customers. Few things are more disappointing than when a company representative knows less about the product than the customer.
6. The liar. Lies, dishonesty, snow jobs and broken promises may get an employee off the hook for the moment, but in the long run they lose your company lots of business.
Once employees know what not to do, you need to show them what they should do. The first and most important step is to treat them with respect. If you don't, it will be very hard for employees to believe you will really support them when they start acting empowered.
Employees can tell if you don't trust them to make decisions on your behalf. So take time to assess the situation, spell out exactly what behavior you are looking for, and prepare your people to act responsibly on their own. This means:
- making sure employees at all levels thoroughly understand your products, services, ongoing promotions, company policies and key customer arrangements.
- seeing to it that all employees have the resources needed to do their jobs.
- assuring your employees that (after proper training) they will be supported in using their judgment when quick action is needed to satisfy a customer.
- including your employees in decisions about certain aspects of company policy and how they handle their own specific duties.
- cross-training employees so they can fill in for each other when necessary.
- instructing your staff in the basics of customer service and social interaction. Smiling comfortably, making small talk and listening attentively don't necessarily come naturally.
- showing your employees by example how to handle a typical
judgment call and leading discussions
on how to solve problems or manage troublesome or unusual situations.

My friend recommended this to me back when I didn't use any facial products thinking they were pretty much scams judging from my experience with Faceshop and Etude House toners and creams. But this product really hit home for me. I bought it on a whim since the set was on discount and it turned out great! I can't say much about the Hada Labo abutin milk - it was sticky and thick and I really don't like the feel of it on my face especially during summer. This lotion (toner) on the other hand is AWESOME. I guess it's because I didn't get any breakouts like some of the other people did. I did get breakouts when using Etude House toners though so it's really up to the individual. Anyway, after using this for a week or so I noticed that my pores around my nose area shrank significantly and my skin brightened up a lot - not becoming fairer but a healthy glow to it. The product is light and it doesn't make me feel like there's something plastered on my face with a sticky feeling (it feels slightly sticky upon application but after half/ an hour or so it goes away). When I use this at night, I don't wake up to over-oily skin in the morning which I had with other toners. Plus it's quite cheap considering the length of time I can use this - 3 drops on my palm is enough for the whole face.
Overall, great product! I'll definitely repurchase after my trial set finishes :)
I can't believe this has such terrible ratings! Pretty much this stuff is nearly identical in texture/formula to the original hada labo SHA toner. The biggest difference is the addition of arbutin!
The texture on this is very slimy, it's very runny so you must be clever with your application techniques. There is no scent on this, and it's not super hydrating but when used in conjunction with heavier moisturizers it really gives your skin a boost of extra hydration.
Unfortunately, this doesn't do much for whitening marks so if you're interested in this, you'll have to add something else for lightening your PIH. Overall would I buy this again? Probably not, but only because i love trying different brands. However, it is a great starting toner :D
I have a dry skin and it really helps my dry skin a lot.
After using this, my skin become healthy and fresh.
I don't notice the whitening but my face become less dull than before.
Before using this, I'm always use moisturizer to snatch away the dryness of my skin but now I rarely use moisturizer again.
I bought this along with the milk and the essence. The milk is like moisturizer but the next time I will not buy the milk again, yes it really moisture your skin but too much! (even for my dry skin)
So, if you have oily skin makes sure to not buy the milk, buy the lotion (or you say toner)
My face looked very healthy after using this toner.
I was very surprised at how healthy my skin looked.
This toner is moisturizing.
I use it with the Shirojyun Cream.
I noticed very slow gradual whitening. My skin tends to be dark from over scrubbing (a bad habit I picked up). Something like whitening I think takes time.
I think this would be great for the warmer months. During the winter, I put a moisturizing cream from another brand on top of the toner and the cream.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I won't buy this product again as it's whitening factor didn't really work that well on me. Minor acne scars are still visible, compared to other better drugstore products I've used. It probably be better off as a moisturizer for anyone with dry skin.
broke me out. no good
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is sooo awful :( i haven't used toner before so i would like try this one to brighten up my skin. For the first 3 day it works well. It brightens up my skin and my acne scars starts fading.
But within 1 week, there's this tiny bumps all over my face! >:( i throw it away and wait for the bumps to disappear. But it didn't! It was almost a month so i decided to go to see a dermatologist. She said my face got clogged up from inside! She gave me a cream that works really well. The bumps are starting to disappear. Overall, i hate this. Such a waste of money :(
This product was awful. I have sensitive skin, and am always wary when I try new products, but so many people raved about this product that I just had to try it. Unfortunately, it made my skin go crazy.
I almost never get any pimples, and when I do get pimples, it's usually from something I put on my face. When that happens, at most, I will get 2 pimples and even that is rare. After using the Hado Labo lotion, I got clumps of pimples between my brows and on my hair line. Furthermore, I developed small hives on my cheek and chin. I immediately stopped using this lotion and went back to organic skin care, which cleared up my pimples almost over night.
Do not use this product if you have sensitive skin!
I purchased the whitening trial kit range to test out during a short trip to Bangkok. This product caused me to breakout all over my chin despite using only for 4 days. Definitely hell for people with sensitive skin. I had since researched and realized one of the ingredients arbutin might be the culprit.
I used this in the last of one months and got a significant result of my skin. I applied three times a day without cotton through face and neck, just after washing my face. Previously, i had a lot of acne, dryness (in the summer) and my skin look so dull and lost it shines. I've got my skin looks more healthy and bright now. Although i still have acne on my face, but it doesn't looks dull like before.

Don Juan Diet
You could call it the Don Juan Diet. Eating celery can make men sexier to women, say the authors of a new book about healthy eating. Celery floods a man's sweat with a biochemical called a "pheromone," whose scent has been shown to spur sexual desire in females, according to health writers Judy Gaman, Dr. Walter Gaman and Dr. Mark Anderson. The team reveals celery's sexual power in their book "Stay Young: Ten Proven Steps To Ultimate Health." They explain how the fluids in celery cells contain massive amounts of androstenone, a steroid found in human sweat. And the steroid contains a pheromone that could put Old Spice and Axe out of business if someone could just figure out how to bottle it. For now, the best way for guys to boost their androstenone levels is to munch a bunch of celery.
