Competitive cheerleading bounces onto Broadway with the new show "Bring It On: the Musical." NY1's Roma Torre filed the following review.
While "Bring It On," with an impressive creative pedigree, shoots high (quite literally), it's not for the "high of brow." That said, target audiences such as my 16-year-old daughter are going to flip over this one (not quite literally).
Based on the film, it starts with a bunch of privileged high school kids who dream of nothing more than to win a cheerleading trophy. And as if to offset the shallowness of it all, we get the real deal in this show with a bunch of ringers who dazzle us with high-flying lifts and tumbles that'll drop your jaw in awe.
But the stunts would be mere gimmickry if not for the talented young team featuring a quartet of Tony winners behind this spirited little gem. Tom Kitt, who also has a Pulitzer for "Next To Normal," composed the music with "In The Heights" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda co-wrote the lyrics as well with Amanda Green and the thickly-plotted libretto is by Avenue Q's book writer Jeff Whitty. And giving it edgy shape and movement is director/choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler.
Once the story moves out of the white bread school and into a rival school featuring a more diverse street culture featuring a fabulous tranny character, the show takes off and Miranda's signature hip hop stylings are, as ever, quite a treat.
Kudos to the casting agent, who found a bunch of sensational rookies most of whom are making their Broadway debuts: Taylor Louderman, a lovely actress who holds her own even while standing in a pyramid on a pair of hands and Adrienne Warren, another beauty who can wail with the best of 'em. But Ryann Redmond, seemingly out of nowhere, is the heart of this show, belting and rapping like an old pro.
Compared to the greats it's a musical ditty But now that it's time for summer in the cityIf a cool escape is what you're seeking outThen Bring It On may give you much to cheer about.

The game is in the fourth quarter for "Friday Night Lights."
For nonfans, it might seem more like overtime.
"Lights" is beginning its fifth season on NBC, leading to the series finale for the best drama on network TV.
For the loyal, this last season (which already aired on DirecTV, but gets its network run beginning at 8 p.m. EDT Friday) will be a roller-coaster ride.
The opener starts on a bittersweet note: Newly graduated Julie (Aimee Teegarden) bids farewell to Dillon, Texas, and moves on to college. She finds life there, without the wisdom of her parents to keep her in check, to be quite the experience.
Meanwhile, Julie's dad, high-school football coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler), tackles another season with a team in disarray. He has high hopes for a winning season, but keeping his players out of trouble is a full-time job.
Julie's mother, high-school principal Tami Taylor (Connie Britton), has her hands full as well. She takes a wayward student under her wing, trying to set the girl back on the right path.
Bad boy Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) won't be around much this season since he was sent to prison at the end of last season. However, his presence will be felt in several stories.
The season will also see the return of many original cast members, including Scott Porter, Adrianne Palicki and Zach Gilford.
Other highlights for the week of April 10-16:
"Human Planet" (8 p.m., Discovery Channel). How do we get by day to day? It's a miracle, as this three-part man-vs.-nature series reveals.
"The Comedy Awards" (9 p.m., Comedy Central). Comedy in TV and film is honored during this first-time event. Nominees include "Toy Story 3," "30 Rock" and "Get Him To The Greek."

"The Dance Scene" (10:30 p.m., E!). In this new reality series, an A-list choreographer and her dancers tackle difficult assignments in Hollywood and beyond.
"Love Triangle" (7 p.m., GSN). Host Wendy Williams asks couples "How you doin'?" in this series that tries to untangle love triangles.
"House" (8 p.m., Fox). The series about a not-so-good doctor makes it to the 150th episode.
"Law & Order: Los Angeles" (10 p.m., NBC). Retooled, the crimes-and-courts drama kills off a major character and reshuffles other cast members to breathe new life into the stories.

"Sinbad: It's Just Family" (10 p.m., WE). For a guy who is supposed to be dead -- as per Internet reports a few years back -- he's not doing too badly as this new reality series indicates.
"The Paul Reiser Show" (8:30 p.m., NBC). In a "Curb Your Enthusiasm"-like sitcom, Paul Reiser plays a version of himself, attempting to find work in Hollywood and balancing a family life.

The Balthazar Cookbook
This is Balthazar's Saturday-night plat du jour and, because its preparation involves the basics of French cooking, it's also the first dish the restaurant teaches its young cooks: There's the browning of the meat, the softening of the mirepoix, the reduction of wine, and the long braise in stock. It's a forgiving dish that calls for patience rather than precision. It's also the ideal meal to make ahead of time, as it benefits greatly from a night's rest. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and pan-roasted vegetables.Get the recipe for Braised Short RibsRecipe from The Balthazar Cookbook by Keith McNally, Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson/Clarkson Potter, 2003.

Corporate row cuts off 1.7M Indian mobile phone users
Row between Etisalat DB and Reliance Comms; Reliance says disconnected EDB due to non-payment of fees; EDB says had faced network disruption since Friday; EDB cits technical issue beyond its control
January 25, 2012 1:55 by Reuters
Some 1.7 million phone subscribers with India's Etisalat DB have been cut off following a dispute between the telecoms operator and Reliance Communications.
Etisalat DB uses Reliance's base stations to provide services in 15 zones in India under a $2 billion, 10-year deal signed in 2009, but Reliance on Tuesday said in a statement it had disconnected its tenant, citing non-payment of fees.
Etisalat DB, a joint venture between the United Arab Emirates' Etisalat and India's DB Group, said it had faced network disruption across India since Friday due to a technical issue beyond its control.
It did not mention any dispute with Reliance, but in a separate statement Etisalat urged the two parties to reach a resolution. The United Arab Emirates operator owns a 45 percent stake in Etisalat DB.
"Despite repeated reminders, payments have been inordinately delayed by EDB (Etisalat DB) without any reasonable cause, leading to the disconnection of services," Reliance said.
Etisalat DB issued a statement apologising to its customers for "a temporary mobile service disruption", adding it was working around-the-clock to resolve the issue.
"This is a local matter between EDB and its vendor, therefore it is not appropriate for us to comment," Etisalat said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
"We are being advised regularly by EDB's management team and we encourage both parties to reach a resolution quickly."
Etisalat DB, which had 1.67 million subscribers as of December, is ranked 14th among India's 15 mobile operators.
Etisalat DB and top executives of the DB Group are among several companies and more than dozen people charged by police over the alleged below-market-price sale of telecom permits in 2008.
All the accused have denied any wrongdoing. Etisalat has said the events described in the charges pre-date its entry into India. (Reporting by Devidutta Tripathy; Additional reporting by Matt Smith in Dubai; Editing by Ted Kerr and David Holmes) *image from growthinstitute.in

"Hello. My name is Violet and I was born into a world you may not understand."Ultraviolet is a 2006 Science Fiction / Action film starring Milla Jovovich as the eponymous Violet, fighting in a guerrilla war against the oppressive Arch-Ministry government in a dystopian future.Violet is a hemophage, a person infected with a virus that produces symptoms similar to traditional vampirism. The infection confers superhuman senses, strength and agility, but is ultimately fatal. Violet became infected while pregnant, and lost her unborn child as a result of experiments performed on her in a concentration camp for hemophages. She is in the terminal stages of the disease, and her latest mission is also expected to be her last.Violet infiltrates an Arch-Ministry stronghold disguised as a courier, and escapes with what is supposed to be an ultimate weapon, something which will kill the few remaining hemophages with a single blow. But the "weapon" turns out to be a child named Six, prompting Violet to defy both her own kind, who want him dead, and the Ministry, who want him back.Ultraviolet was deliberately created to stylistically resemble a comic book, with brilliantly colored outfits and hair, and an airbrushed appearance to close-ups. As with many comic books, the action scenes are deliberately over the top. It was not well-received, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 9%, but some find it So Bad, It's Good or a Guilty Pleasure. It can now be streamed for free via a collaboration between YouTube and the Hulu competitor Crackle, here and here, so you can watch it for yourself and make your own opinion.Also noteworthy for Violet having arguably the single highest body count of any character in film history.In 2008, the studio Madhouse produced a 12 episode anime series loosely based on the film titled Ultraviolet: Code 044.Not to be confused with Ultraviolet the British television series, which was also a modern take on vampires, but which could otherwise not be more different in story, style and tone.

24 Additional Principles for Political Negotiations Submitted by the Committee of Good Offices
Committee of Good Offices USS RENVILLE, 17 January 1948 Document S/AC.10/CONF.2/4
The Committee of Good Offices is of the opinion that the following principles, among others, form a basis for the negotiations towards a political settlement:
1. Sovereignty throughout the Netherlands Indies is and shall remain with the Kingdom of the Netherlands until, after a stated interval, the Kingdom of the Netherlands transfers its sovereignty to the United States of Indonesia. Prior to the termination of such stated interval, the Kingdom of the Netherlands may confer appropriate rights, duties and responsibilities on a provisional federal government of the territories of the future United States of Indonesia. The United States of Indonesia, when created, will be a sovereign and independent State in equal partnership with the Kingdom of the Netherlands in a Netherlands-Indonesian Union at the head of which shall be the King of the Netherlands. The status of the Republic of Indonesia will be that of a state within the United States of Indonesia.
2. In any provisional federal government created prior to the ratification of the constitution of the future United States of Indonesia, all states will be offered fair representation.
3. Prior to the dissolution of the Committee of Good Offices, either party may request that the services of the Committee be continued to assist in adjusting differences between the parties which relate to the political agreement and which may arise during the interim period. The other party will interpose no objection to such a request; this request would be brought to the attention of the Security Council of the United Nations by the Government of the Netherlands.
4. Within a period of not less than six months or more than one year from the signing of this agreement, a plebescite will be held to determine whether the populations of the various territories of Java, Madura and Sumatra wish their territory to form part of the Republic of Indonesia or of another state within the United States of Indonesia, such plebescite to be conducted under observation by the Committee of Good Offices should either party, in accordance with the procedure set forth in paragraph 3 above, request the services of the Committee in this capacity. The parties may agree that another method for ascertaining the will of the populations may be employed in place of a plebescite.
5. Following the delineation of the states in accordance with the procedure set forth in paragraph 4 above, a constitutional convention will be convened, through democratic procedures, to draft a constitution for the United States of Indonesia. The representation of the various states in the convention will be in proportion to their populations.
6. Should any state decide not to ratify the constitution and desire, in accordance with the principles of articles 3 and 4 of the Linggadjati Agreement, to negotiate a special relationship with the United States of Indonesia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, neither party will object.

A reservation of rights is a facet of insurance law that allows an insurance company to enter into a defense of an asserted policy claim on a tentative basis. Many insurance policies include a clause stipulating that the insurance company will provide the policyholder a defense should the policyholder ever be sued based on a covered claim. This is common in medical malpractice insurance claims, for instance, as well as general indemnity claims. Most lawsuits have uncertain outcomes, however, and it is rarely clear at the outset whether a case actually centers on something that is covered by an insurance policy. Insurance companies will nonetheless mount a defense for their policyholder, but they do so subject to a reservation of rights.
The reservation of rights typically comes as a letter to the policyholder. Its wording varies based on the claim and the jurisdiction, but the main point is that the insurance company is launching a defense, but that defense should not be viewed as an acceptance of the case if it turns out the case is not covered. In other words, the insurance company will defend the case if the case ultimately does pertain to something covered in the policy, but if not, the defense will end and the policyholder will have to secure other representation. The reservation of rights stems from the exact wording of the original policy, and relies on a close interpretation and application of contract law.
Most reservation of rights letters also specify that the insurance company is only assuming defense obligations and potential liability for claims that are directly related to the policy. It is rare for a lawsuit to allege only one claim. Usually only one or two of the alleged claims are actually related to the coverage, and an insurance company is only responsible for defending those that are.
In a medical malpractice lawsuit, for example, a plaintiff might allege that a doctor acted negligently in the provision of care, acted willfully in that same provision of care, erred in billing, and engaged in fraudulent financial practices. If the doctor's malpractice insurance policy only covers him against general negligence, the insurance company will mount a defense, but only with respect to the negligence claim. The insurance provider is not responsible for billing or financial fraud claims, and if the court ultimately finds that the doctor's actions were willful rather than negligent, the insurance company is not responsible for that claim, either. The insurance company explains this to the doctor through a reservation of rights letter.
Without such a letter, an insurance company can be liable for defending all claims, even those that have nothing to do with the policy, or those that are adjudicated to be outside of the policy's scope. In most jurisdictions, beginning a defense is a tacit acceptance of all claims unless otherwise stipulated. The reservation of rights is that stipulation.
A reservation of rights is not the same as a statement that all rights are reserved. An "all rights reserved" warning, as seen on many multimedia products and in legal disclaimers, is an element of copyright law. By its very nature, a copyright grants the owner the exclusive and full legal rights to distribute, market, and perform any copyrighted work. Appending "all rights reserved" serves as a reminder of these rights, particularly to the consumers of copyrighted material such as films, television shows, and music recordings.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Microbiology & Immunology
Programs of Study
Research in the Division of Microbiology and Immunology is devoted to understanding molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and regulation of the immune response. Areas of specialization include bacteriology, mycology, virology, immunology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics. Programs of study lead to both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The M.S. degree is earned by completing 32 semester hours of coursework, including biostatistics and thesis research credit. Students must participate in various departmental and interdepartmental seminars and pass a thesis defense. Ph.D. candidates may or may not have completed the M.S. degree or its equivalent. Ph.D. candidates with a M.S. degree must complete an additional 64 semester hours of coursework and thesis research credit, while candidates without a M.S. degree must complete 96 semester hours of coursework, including biostatistics, and thesis research credit. Ph.D. candidates must also demonstrate proficiency in several areas of scientific communication skills such as computer literacy and grant writing. Within their first year in the graduate program, students select a thesis advisor and a graduate advisory committee. The graduate advisory committee approves the student's plan of study and administers the student's preliminary exam, prospectus exam (an in-depth discussion of the student's proposed research project) and the final thesis defense. All graduate students are expected to participate in the divisional journal club that provides a forum for discussion of current literature on molecular microbiology and immunology.
Graduate research and teaching assistantships, with full tuition and fee waivers, are available on a competitive basis. Funds are provided from departmental teaching sources of grants to individual investigators. The amount of aid varies with the source, type of support and the progress of the student.

Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley believes McLaren made a mistake to get rid of Sergio Perez after just one season.
McLaren signed Perez for the 2013 campaign on the back of some impressive displays for Sauber, but he lasted only one year with the Woking squad opting to replace him with rookie Kevin Magnussen.
The Mexican struggled during the first few months at McLaren, but improved during the latter half of the season and Force India decided to snap him up on the back of that. The 24-year-old has settled quickly at the Silverstone squad, claiming one podium in eight races.
When asked by Autosport if McLaren underrated Perez, Fernley replied: "I think they did, perhaps they should have given him another year.
"Based on his second half of last year, which is what we judged when we looked to sign him, I think he did a wonderful job.
"I wasn't overly impressed about the first six months, but I thought the second part was wonderful and that's what convinced us he was right."

Ravens vs. Colts playoff game spikes Ray Lewis shirt sales
BALTIMORE - The Ravens are ready for the playoffs. The dirty birds take on Indianapolis this Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
"There's something about the Colts coming back to town that really digs deep for a lot of people," said Ravens Zone's Kenny Yates.
The Towson sporting apparel store can't keep enough purple pride paraphernalia on the shelves.
"We have new shirts coming out every day. We have the 'Luck stops here' with the broken horse shoe on it. We have the one with the number 12 on the back 'no luck' instead of Andrew Luck . And then of course the Ray Lewis shirts as well," Kenny said.
After 17-years with the Ravens, Ray Lewis is set to retire at the end of the season. So there's a lot of demand for linebacker's gear.
"They want those last bobble heads that they're not going to see anymore. Or the 'Festivus' shirts that will become a tradition here," said Kenny.
If you don't have tickets to the big game you can always cheer them on from your couch.
"Go Ravens! We're going to bring home the Super Bowl this year. We're making a run. One more for Ray. One more for Ed. We're doing it this year, not next year. The time is now!" said Kenny.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Jim Caldwell enjoys his job as offensive co-ordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, and he's quite good at it.
Can't lose? Proud Harbaugh parents guaranteed a Super Bowl champion
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jackie Harbaugh will wear a neutral-colored outfit, still to be determined. Her daughter, Joani Crean, little sister to coaching brothers John and Jim Harbaugh, plans to sport all black at the Super Bowl to show no allegiances whatsoever.
"I am wearing whatever fits that day," Crean quipped.
The entire Harbaugh family — a close-knit, hyper-competitive crew that also includes Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean — realizes it has already won big. They got their Super Bowl victory on Sunday, when each coach did his part to ensure a family reunion in New Orleans next week, with John's Baltimore Ravens facing off against Jim's San Francisco 49ers in the first Super Bowl with sibling coaches on opposite sidelines.
One Harbaugh will haul home the Lombardi Trophy from the Big Easy.
Before taking over in early December, Caldwell had never held the position at any level — yet the Ravens' attack has flourished under his direction. Quarterback Joe Flacco has looked sharp, the play-calling has been unpredictable and Baltimore has scored 90 points in three playoff games to earn a berth in the Super Bowl.
Caldwell's success prompted head coach John Harbaugh to ask him to retain the post in 2013. Caldwell appreciates the opportunity, but has no intention of making "Offensive Coordinator, Baltimore Ravens" the last line on his resume.
The 58-year-old Caldwell wants to be a head coach. He did it in Indianapolis from 2009-11, and is itching for another crack at the top job in his profession.
"At some point in time, if the Lord wills it, I'd love to be able to do it again," Caldwell said Friday. "But it may not happen. Everybody in our profession is looking for an opportunity to run their own program, and I'm no different than anybody else in that regard."
Caldwell might have gotten the chance to at least interview for an opening if he wasn't so busy helping the Ravens earn a date with San Francisco in the Super Bowl next Sunday.
"I had a couple of GMs tell me, 'If it weren't for your guys' success in the playoffs and continuing to play, then he would have been someone we would have interviewed," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "Hopefully next year we're in the same spot, and it will be tough for him to get interviews again. Really, though, I can see him getting that opportunity a year from now."
Caldwell certainly is a viable candidate for a head coaching job. He took the Colts to the Super Bowl in 2009 and was instrumental in the development of quarterback Peyton Manning. He's also provided the Baltimore offence with a boost after replacing the fired Cam Cameron on Dec. 10.
Some coaches are fiery. Some break clipboards to get a player's attention. Caldwell does none of that.
"Man, he is so humble, laid back," Baltimore receiver Jacoby Jones said. "But he's a smart man. He reads a lot of books, gives you a lot of quotes. He's so diverse."
The NFL's Rooney Rule was designed to provide diversity among NFL head coaches and GMs, but if Caldwell — an African American with impressive credentials — can't get an interview, then maybe it's time to fix the process.
"I do think that it's something that certainly needs to be revisited, and is going to be revisited," Caldwell said. "I'm not one of the individuals that started that particular drive to do so. There's been a lot of very intelligent men that have looked at this thing and talked about it in depth, so I think that's going to happen.
In the meantime, Caldwell is preparing for the Super Bowl while dozens of other coaches are at home looking forward to next year. So, despite not getting an interview, he has no regrets.
"None whatsoever. I'd certainly rather be right where I am right now, with you asking me this question," he said. "It just doesn't happen that often in your career to be fortunate enough to have this opportunity. I'm thankful. The other things, they'll take care of themselves somewhere down the road."
I do think [the Rooney Rule is] something that certainly needs to be revisited, and is going to be revisited. I'm not one of the individuals that started that particular drive to do so
Caldwell deserves plenty of credit for Baltimore's surprising run to the Super Bowl. In the six games since he's taken over, the Ravens have averaged 26.2 points and 406.2 yards of offence. During the playoffs, Baltimore has scored touchdowns on eight of 10 trips inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
"What coach Caldwell has done has kept the offence simple and basic," running back Ray Rice said. "He put the game into Joe Flacco's hands, and Joe has done a great job — phenomenal job — of leading us to where we needed to be. We are right here where we want to be right now."
And maybe, so is Caldwell. For now, anyway. He expressed genuine appreciation and thanks Friday when talking about being asked to return in 2013.
"I'm excited about it. Certainly very honoured and humbled as well," he said. "It's a great opportunity for me, in particular working within this organization. I'm looking forward to it, but right now I'm looking forward to this next ball game we've got coming up. That's the most important thing."

AWG Charity Golf Tournament Fights Childhood Hunger
More Than $10,000 Raised for Food for Kids
October 31, 2012
OKLAHOMA CITY – More than $10,000 was raised from the Associated Wholesale Grocer's Annual Employee Appreciation Golf Tournament. The money will go to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Food for Kids program. Thanks to this generous donation, 54 chronically hungry elementary school children will benefit from Food for Kids this school year.
"At AWG we have a strong sense of responsibility to do what we can as a corporate citizen to help eliminate hunger, particularly when it comes to children," said Jeff Pedersen, senior vice president and division manager at Associated Wholesale Grocers. "The golf outing was a fun way to involve our employees and suppliers in this worthy cause."
Last school year, the Regional Food Bank provided more than 1.4 million meals to chronically hungry children through Food for Kids childhood hunger programs: Kids Cafe, Summer Feeding, School Pantries and the Backpack Program,
- Kids Cafe, an after school and summer program provides food, mentoring, tutoring, and a variety of other activities for children at 23 sites in central and western Oklahoma.
- The School Pantry Program provides chronically hungry middle and high school students with food to sustain them after school and over the weekends.
- Through the Backpack Program, children receive a backpack full of kid-friendly, non-perishable and nutritious food every Friday to sustain them over weekends and school holidays.
"No child should ever go to bed with the pain of hunger," said Rodney Bivens, executive director of the Regional Food Bank. "We want to thank Associated Wholesale Grocers for their commitment to the Regional Food Bank's Food for Kids program. Their generosity will impact the lives of many chronically hungry children."
Established in 1980, the Regional Food Bank is the largest private hunger-relief organization in the state of Oklahoma. In Fiscal Year 2012, the nonprofit distributed 42.2 million pounds of food and products through a network of nearly 1,000 charitable feeding programs and schools in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties. Each week, the organization provides enough food to feed more than 90,000 hungry Oklahomans.
To make a tax-deductible donation, or find out more information about Food for Kids, call 405.972.1111 or visit regionalfoodbank.org.
The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is a private, 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that acts as a link through which the food industry and community may donate food and other goods. The products are then distributed to nearly 1,000 schools and charitable feeding programs in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties. In fiscal year 2012, the Food Bank distributed 42.2 million pounds of food and product to help the charitable community effectively feed people in need. Since its inception in 1980, the Food Bank has distributed more than 458 million pounds of food to feed Oklahoma's hungry.

Panetta says toughest fighting in Afghanistan yet to come
In his exclusive sit-down with Foreign Policy on Friday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that some of the "toughest" fighting in Afghanistan is yet to come.
It was not a surprising assessment - commanders long have talked about the tenacious presence of insurgents and Haqqani network operatives in the East -- but one perhaps not fully understood by those who don't war watch for a living.
Although the war in Afghanistan is winding down by some measures -- number of bases, number of troops deployed -- loudly touted on the campaign trail this year, the fighting is not finished. Unlike the last two years of the Iraq war, don't expect American soldiers and Marines to be stuck on shrink-wrap duty sending tons of U.S. war goods and equipment back home.
Panetta said that with the exit of surge forces this month comes the challenge of sustaining the momentum for one more year, to permit the final two hand-offs of security regions yet to be determined in the country to Afghan forces a little more than a year from now. That exit point is well established -- it is President Obama and NATO's stated timeline. But getting there is the hard part, says Panetta.
"Now the challenge is to continue that momentum, continue the transition, and ensure that we have a sufficient force in place in order to complete the fourth and fifth tranches, which are going to be the more difficult ones," Panetta said, "and reach a point sometime in the fall of 2013 after completion of the last transition, where we will turn over combat operations to the Afghans."
Before that happens, the United States has an uphill climb in eastern Afghanistan, where Haqqani network terrorists continue to wreak havoc, especially in the close geographic stretch between the capital, Kabul, and the Pakistan border. Commanders in Afghanistan for a long while have not worried much about security in the easier, less-contested areas of the north and west, which Afghan forces already oversee. It is in the east where the final U.S. battles in Afghanistan likely will occur.
Here's Panetta, from the transcript:
FP: Conventional wisdom is that before 2014, there's still a big fight to come between Kabul and Pakistan, so that is the real trouble area, that this is not going to be sitting it out for a couple of years like the end of Iraq. Is that fair to assume?
PANETTA: Yeah, yeah. In terms of?
FP: That this is still going to be heated fighting to come...
PANETTA: Oh yes, especially in the east. The east is being able to transition those areas, being able to make sure the Afghans are in fact capable of maintaining security in those areas, is going to be something that we're going to have to work hard at. This is going to be some of the toughest areas that we've gotta deal with.
Complicating matters is the seemingly unending spate of so called "green on blue" violence -- insider attacks on U.S. troops by Afghans in the ranks of the security forces on which Washington has bet the war's end. Following Friday's successful insurgent attack on Camp Bastion, International Security Assistance Force officials on Monday said they have ordered a slowing of their partnered training with Afghan forces - putting the brakes on one of the most important pillars of the exit strategy proffered by the Obama, the Pentagon and NATO.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey, traveling in Europe, gave a striking warning this weekend about that concern.
"It is a very serious threat to the campaign," said Dempsey, Obama's senior military advisor, of the war effort.
And that's a very serious charge. He did not say inside attacks are a threat to a particular unit or base or region. General Dempsey said it's a threat to the entire "campaign."
And if Dempsey is saying it out loud, it's a sure bet it's already said it to President Obama. Obama currently is expected to receive in mid-November ISAF commander Gen. John Allen's future war plans. Panetta said Obama will take that recommendation seriously. No matter what Allen determines, don't expect 68,000 troops to just sit around watching Afghans train. The end of combat may come by 2014, but not without a fight first.

White space and it's possible impact on broadband in Kenya
White space refers to frequencies that are allocated for telecommunications but are not used in active transmission. They however play a crucial role in enabling interference free communication. In layman's terms, if there are two adjacent FM radio stations say Hope FM at 93.30Mhz and BBC-Africa at 93.90Mhz, the two are separated by white space bandwidth equal to the difference of the two (93.90Mhz-93.30Mhz = 0.6Mhz or 600Khz). If you look at the entire FM or TV spectrum, there is a lot of white space frequencies not in active use but is used as guard band to enable listeners tune clearly and avoid hearing two radio channels at the same time. The same is true also for Television (TV) transmission.
TV transmission uses the UHF frequency range of 470Mhz-806MHz (for example KTN Kenya transmits at 758-764Mhz which is channel 62 on the ITU chart. Remember this logo here? that rainbowy 62 wasn't a fashion statement). Each TV station is allocated 6Mhz out of which only three points are used for picture, color and audio, the rest is white space. Taking the KTN example, 759.25Mhz is used for video, 762.83Mhz is used for color while 763.75Mhz is used for the audio in the TV channel. The rest is what is known as white space and just lies in waste though serving as guard bands.
It is this wasteful nature of analog TV and radio broadcast that there is a concerted push by CCK to move to digital transmission which unlike analog, does not have white spaces and therefore doesn't waste precious frequencies. The push to digital TV is informed by the fact that if all stations transmit digital signals, they will free up the white spaces for other uses.
From the consumer's perspective, the push for analog to digital transmission is because they will also benefit from clearer and rich content that it will bring along (such richness includes being able to set reminders on future programs, scroll what's next e.t.c just as you are able to do now on satellite TV such as DStv but not on the local free to air stations).
Kenya has set a target of 2012 to complete the analog to digital TV migration and there is already a lot of progress being made on that front. Once the migration is complete, it will have released the UHF band for other uses such as broadband internet, SCADA and remote metering systems and many more. However, once released, these frequencies will be unlicensed meaning anyone can use them without prior approval by CCK. In the USA for example the fact that white space will be unlicensed has seen the FCC face legal proceedings by wireless microphone manufacturers (which use white space) because it would mean that they will be interfered with by more powerful transmission sources such as white space base stations on tall buildings etc. The FCC has however gone ahead and allowed the use of white space for other uses.
The fact that white space is at lower frequency (470Mhz-806MHz ) compared to existing last mile solutions such as Wimax (2000Mhz and 5000Mhz ranges) or Wi-Fi, the white space can travel much farther and around physical objects. It is estimated that a Wi-Fi hotspot that changes to use white space frequency range can increase its coverage area by 16 times hence enabling wide reach. The lower frequencies will also make detection of white space signals easier and less power-hungry (This is because the higher the frequency detected, the more complex the equipment and the more power required, this explains why your phone's battery drains faster if Wi-Fi or blue-tooth (Higher freq)is turned on than if you tune to FM stations (lower freq) on the same phone).
The wide coverage, cheaper equipment and lower power requirements will present endless possibilities of extending broadband coverage beyond towns or areas with Wimax, Wi-Fi, or GSM coverage. The use of white space will also lead to cheaper internet as investment in infrastructure will be minimum as one base station will be enough to cover the entire city and beyond making last mile infrastructure CAPEX lower. This is unlike Wimax which to cover a city like Nairobi would need about 5-10 base stations.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) recently announced the finalization of 802.22TM white space standard known as the Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN) or Super-Wi-Fi (Microsoft calls its version White-Fi) that will deliver speeds of up to 22Mbps per channel. This paves way for equipment manufacturers to design interoperable white space transceivers and I believe we will soon see them in phones, laptops and tablet computers. Last April, A test white space network was established at Rice University in Houston in which one base station was able to provide broadband connectivity to 3,000 residents of East Houston.
White space use for broadband connectivity will be a game changer in the country when it comes to last mile connectivity as the current networks are not very extensive in reach and neither do they offer reliable and affordable connectivity. The new white space systems will offer wide coverage especially in rural Kenya that has low population density that has made investors shun extending services to them due to CAPEX required to set-up networks to serve the rural folk. White space utilization will now make it possible for these investors to recoup their investments in rural areas as they will now cover larger areas cheaply.

So what will it take to deploy? Carlson Wireless in California will be ready in December, with an affordable broadband radio that uses white space spectrum. We're interested in working with service providers in Kenya.
April 24, 2012 at 10:11 am
Whitespace is the future of wireless networking… indeed, some quarters have called it, and rightly so, "Wi-fi on steroids". The fact that is licensed makes it way easier to build and roll-out products based on the same. Tom, would you have any idea if CCK is doing anything about this? I understand the technology may be in full use in some developed nations in a year or two…

Hi Tom, is a full list of the current digital transmission in Nairobi ch / freq handy?

|The good: these have a mildly sweet pumpkin flavour that's quite pleasant; they're quite different and a nice change from most sweet/salty snacks. The bad: these have an allergy warning for soy and eggs that's not listed on the website. My kids are allergic to eggs, so they couldn't eat them. =(

...And Out Come The Wolves
The landmark 1995 record that at once invoked and transcended the punk rock genre, cementing Rancid's place forever as one of the great rock bands of all time. ...And Out Come the Wolves combines Dylanesque portrayals of down-and-out streetlife and personal experience with tunefully concise, dynamic songwriting to create an enduring body of work that grows better with each listen and every passing year. Styles range from the recklessly belligerent punk rock rampage of Maxwell Murder (featuring a mind-numbing Matt Freeman bass solo), to the masterful pop craftsmanship of "Ruby Soho" and the fully realized punk/ska hybrid of "Time Bomb" (a sound that Armstrong and Freeman pioneered in their first band Operation Ivy). Produced by Jerry Finn and mixed by Andy Wallace this record is deservedly among the most influential and successful of it's time.

What To Buy In The Philippines
The Philippines is famous for its world-class break 'Cloud 9′ on Siargao Island, secret surf spots and breathtaking nature. As amazing as the memories and the photos are, when the time comes for you to board that plane back to reality, you'll want to bring back some things to remember your epic surf trip by (and maybe some stuff for those back home that couldn't join in the adventure). Here, I'll show you some non-cheesy souvenirs you can pick up in this amazing country:
1. Sarong- If you travel a lot, you know how valuable it is to have both a versatile item with you that also doesn't take much space in a suitcase! Sarongs are perfect for beach days when you don't want to carry a bulky towel and can serve as a towel, pillow, scarf, or super flimsy blanket when you're traveling. One night I missed my flight and had to crash at the Rome airport. I was in the midst of traveling for a few days, so my sarong served as both a towel AND a blanket. Needless to say, it's my new best friend.
2. Goggles- The Philippines is country made up of 7,000 islands, so the Filipino people have been watermen for centuries and made the gear to go along with their lifestyle. These goggles are about as simple as they can get, with a plastic coil, wooden frames, plastic lenses and thread. Yet they are unique and represent an innovative people. Grab some of these to bring back, as well as the handmade wooden fins they use to swim with!
3. Hammock- Not so much a traditional lazing hammock as it is a swinging hammock, these are everywhere on the trees on Siargao Island. The kids pile on them and swing as high as they can, and even though they don't look so comfortable, you can definitely still find a sweet spot and get a good nap in. Don't try to fit more than one adult in them though- one of the funniest memories we've had of our trip was of a hammock snapping from that very thing!
4. Cloud 9 candy bar- The surf break itself is named after this favorite candy bar, so you know it's got to be good! Most people compare it to the taste of a Snickers bar. These are great gifts for your family and friends back home.
5. Shells (and things made out of shells)- The shells on the beaches of the Philippines are unreal! They are perfectly formed and covering the beach wherever you look. It's easy to find some colorful, fun jewelry to have as a memory and for gifts.
6. Hand carved slingshots- I wouldn't go into battle with one of these, but the simplicity of these slingshots are what makes them special. I have many memories of walking down the sandy roads of the village and seeing the kids playing with them. They represent both the playfulness and resourcefulness the Filipino people.
7 and 8) Shirt and bag from ARTWORK- On the way to our remote destination of Siargao, we had to wait a long time for our boat, and most of that waiting was done in shopping malls in Cebu. If you've ever been to a shopping mall in Asia, you know how overwhelming it can be, so we were fortunate enough to happen upon this rad store. ARTWORK is an 18 year old company that started out as a manufacturer that specialized in silk screen t-shirts but has now become a popular T-shirt retailer with complete clothing lines. We had no problem killing time as we looked at the many graphic designs influenced by art, music and pop culture.Some of my favorites were graphics that were made with masterpiece paintings morphed with different shapes and colors. From their bags down to their dressing rooms, ARTWORK is full of fresh, unique design. Their website definitely doesn't do them justice, but check it out at artwork.ph

What To Buy In Bangladesh
One of the most intriguing things to do in a foreign country is to go shopping; browsing through the local shops, seeing what the people stock their homes with, trying new foods and drinks along the way, and of course, looking for little treasures to bring back. It's these little things that we carry back in our suitcase that remind us of the things we loved about the place we had to leave.
At STN, we are exposed to all kinds of new foods, smells, clothing, simply from what people bring back from their trips. But with only one carry-on bag for an entire month, what do people choose to take up their precious space?
In today's blog, our creative arts producer, Kirsten Roskos shares what treasures she picked up when she was in Bangladesh with the team in April. Enjoy getting a little glimpse of a Bengali market, and maybe make a shopping list for yourself if you are headed that way soon!

Hi everyone!
My name is Amy and I have two sons, Daniel (4) and Jared (1 1/2). Ever since AF came back post-partum, my cycles were shorter than normal for me (I thought it was the Mirena), but I had the Mirena removed in August and it didn't lengthen my cycles. They were averaging 21-22 days, with a 9-10 day LP. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I started testing at 8 and 9dpo and got a DEFINITE BFP at 9dpo!
I got an early BFP this past Thursday...which puts me with an EDD of August 29th!
I look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone...and good luck to those who are still August hopefuls!

Chalo's Tacos: street tacos without the street
by Tim | April 2, 2009 | 15 Comments
Chalo's Tacos is located at 5029 N. Rockwell Avenue in Bethany (map). They are open for lunch (11am to 1pm) Monday through Thursday and all day Friday through Sunday. Call them at 405.440.2984.
Andrew has long been imploring us to get out and experience the tasty offerings of the authentic taquerias found in Oklahoma City. Only problem is that most of his recommendations are found in South OKC and, at least for me, that's a long way to travel for lunch, which is when I most often have opportunity to grab some food. So, I was excited to hear about Chalo's Tacos, a true taqueria found on the very north edge of Bethany, and much more conveniently located for my lunching. I had to give it a try.
The truth is, I've been meaning to try Chalo's for a long time. One of our loyal Twitter followers was the first to recommend it to me, and he's been very persistent in pushing it for some time now. But as I drove by the location over and over, I never saw it. That's because they only very recently put a sign up outside. So, now it's pretty easy to spot, sitting in the same strip mall as, and just to the north of, Pizzini'z pizza.
Walk inside and you'll find a fairly inviting dining room where you can seat yourself at any number of tables. The menu is handwritten on dry erase boards above the counter and it's pretty simple. Beef, pork or tongue are the meat choices and they can be made up as tacos ($1.35), burritos ($3.75), or tortas ($4.75). They also have tamale ($1.35) when available and a few other specialties.
Please note: they don't have chips, salsa, guacamole or the like. This is a taco stand in a building, not an Okla-mex restaurant. Go with proper expectations.
Beverage choices are interesting as well. They have an assortment of Mexican bottled soft drinks and beers. I tried to order some water when I was there and was served a bottle of Coke instead (language may be a barrier for those, like me, who don't speak Spanish). I think they have bottled water but it is evidently hard to get. One important note — if you'd like a bottle of Coke, get the large. They charge the same price for the small or the large. Interesting.
I had tacos (beef and pork — no tongue, sorry Andrew), and a tamal (which was also pork). The tacos are true street taqueria style, small and served open face on two corn tortillas with the meat filling, cilantro, onions and nothing else. They provide you with two different sauces you can add. One is green and one is red. They were both good, but I preferred the green as it was a little spicier and livelier. They also provide you with a plate of limes and thick-cut radishes. I'd never seen the radish thing before, but they were very fresh and I liked them. I guess you can put them on your tacos. I just ate them.
The tamal was good as well. Nothing fancy but very tasty and fresh.
I don't think that Chalo's Tacos is the absolute best taqueria in town, but I do think its location makes it very unique. I'm not aware of another place like it on the north side. If you're looking for that authentic style and south OKC is too far away, it's a great option. It's also nice sometimes to have a comfortable place to sit as opposed to visiting a taco truck like Taqueria Sanchez.
However, the downside to Chalo's Tacos is the price. Keep in mind, these tacos are very small. I ate four of them and a tamal without stuffing myself. That, plus the Coke I didn't really order, put my bill at $10 for lunch. Compare the $1.35 per taco cost to Max Burger where you can often get two for $1, or to Taqueria Sanchez where the cost is 99 cents.
However, if you're not quite as voracious as me, you can probably get by for less than I did. Plus, the comfortable atmosphere and convenient location (for those on the north side) accounts for some of the cost.
If Chalo's Tacos were just a taco truck, I'd say go to Taqueria Sanchez. If it were on the south side, I'd say you have lots of other options to try. But as it is, I say if you're located in northwest Oklahoma City and looking for a true taqueria where you can sit down and eat with friends, give Chalo's Tacos a try. And, as always, let us know what you think in the comments.

First off, the tongue there is great. It just is. And I recommend the tortas and the burritos as well. They're not giant, but I've found that one of those and a taco will probably keep me satisfied.
I think there's also a place in Edmond, west of Broadway, that serves a very similar menu. Anybody know the name?

Radishes are commonly served with tacos at taquerias in Mexico but I have never seen a local put one in their tacos.
Bryce says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:16 am
Thanks for reviewing Chalo's. I've been going for a while now (the same Twitter follower turned me onto them, too). I agree with Greg: the tortas are awesome. But the pork taco is probably my favorite item on the menu. Something about the seasoning… Anywhere that serves Mexican Coke is also a plus.
Lyn says:

On your recomendation I went the Chola's and the Tacos were great! I am using my Blackberery here in the Taqureia…the radishes are a good pallete cleanser. The pork has good flavor but I liked the beef better. Also to note, bring cash…no CC accepted.
Andrew says:
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
There is also Taqueria Originale over here on NW 10th and Rockwell. I'm not a fan though. Similar menu, similar price, but nothing like the spots on the south side. Come on, try the tongue.

Chalo's Tacos most likely has some of the best carne asada tacos in the OKC area. I have known the owner for awhile through church and even before he opened the taqueria. The small tacos are common in Mexico, what he has is good quality and I really enjoy it a lot. I recommend going on the weekends and eating the the beef birria which is shredded chuck roast marinated in its juices with a special salsa on top, it is very good and very authentic. The owner is originally from Calvillo, Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Thanks for recommending this place, i had the lengua, beef and pork tacos. I couldn't really tell the difference between the beef and tongue, but they were good. The pork was especially good. A good deal when you can get three tacos and a coca mexicana for under 7 bucks…

I was just in this place today and somebody asked for chips and salsa, then asked if they had queso. I just wanted to bury my head in my hands and say "Sorry, all of us are not that dumb."

Comfortable, air-conditioned, northside taqueria with plenty of sit-down room and a much larger menu than mentioned above: Taqueria Frontera on MacArthur around NW 23rd. Try an asadero taco on corn – they look at you a little funny and try to persuade you to add meat as well, thinking a gringa doesn't understand what she wants. Oh, I want that thick, thick slab of barely scorched Mexican cheese on a corn tortilla alright. The carnitas are solid; did not care for the asada – a little too gristly. Horchata's always sugary and cinnamomny and heavenly. Tacos are a buck fifty if my memory serves correctly but, like I said, the menu far exceeds what is mentioned here. Please report any findings, as I'm interested in other opinions…

Tried it out and it was a fun experience. Loved the double corn tortillas for the tacos and the flavor of the chipped type beef was great…couldn't bring myself to try the tongue either. We will be going back for sure – we had 3 of the tacos apiece and a side of beans and that was great for us for about $5. I am a cilantro freak, so the generous sprinkling of cilantro made my day and with some lime squeezed over top? Good stuff!

Chalo's is basic authentic mexican and very good. Also mentioned was Taco Originale on 10th and Rockwell. Good food, nice people. Both are comparable to Taco San Pedros but more expensive.
JD says:

Good things come in small packages. This is a small restaurant, but clean and inviting. The tacos and tamale I ate were small, but very fresh and tasty. I shall return!

Tacos Chalo's it is simple the best in flavor, taste and their home made salsas. Chicken tacos are my favorites, I care for the flavor and taste, price is worth it!! All they need now it to make their own tortillas and that's it.

XP Pro will only allow 10 concurrent connections, I think this applies no matter what your running
Can some remind me is there limit on amount of connections to the website when running xamp on xp pro machine...
XP Pro will only allow 10 concurrent connections, I think this applies no matter what your running
Doesn't apply. You're only limited by the connection throttling in the XP TCP/IP stack.
Warning: Using the above information will violate the EULA and cause your XP licenses to explode.
Xampp runs on real operating systems too
Yes, that'd be a more sensible direction to head in.
I know but at moment dont want it running on main server we will go on windows 2003 box at some point but until it become available to use wil have to make so.
Got any junk boxes that'll run Linux?
Yes and no to be honest t Linux not my greatest area so until I learn bit more not happy putting box up for all and sundry to hack..
You're running a live system on an XP desktop machine?!?
No not at moment
This mainly testing not desktop machine just an xp pro machine used this purpose.
We just need to test stress of some software apps before we move it open for example testing helpdesk software and the software going to use as part of our intranet once done that got it all working going to move it over to windows 2003.
But once got Intranet bit sorted going to open it to staff to test it stress and load etc
As it is going on windows 2003 box wanted to keep it on windows while we test stuff to keep stuff simlair
You running glpi under xampp Russ?
That i am Ben
I've got gpli, ocs and meidawiki running as a test here.
Thinking of replacing my current intranet with mediawiki.

Chesapeake Watermen Struggle in 'The Last Boat Out'
When John Smith explored the Chesapeake Bay in the early 1600s he reported that oysters "lay as thick as stones." Now they are at about 2 percent of their historic population, and in 2008 the federal government declared the blue crab fishery a commercial failure.
The Bay has seen much better days, and so have its watermen. Such is this premise of a new documentary by Laura Seltzer, "The Last Boat Out." Wednesday evening I attended an advanced screening of the documentary, which is narrated by Oceana board member Sam Waterston.
The 30-minute film portrays the Chesapeake Bay's watermen as an endangered species themselves, fighting to stay afloat amid shrinking populations of crabs, oysters and fish -- their historic bread and butter.
Filmmaker Laura Seltzer focuses on a pair of middle-aged brothers who are struggling to continue the family business on the water. They represent a few of the 2800 remaining watermen, who have seen a 70% decline in 30 years.
Nutrient pollution is a big part of the problem, as Seltzer demonstrates. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus from agriculture, wastewater and fertilizer deplete the bay's oxygen, creating dead zones that can't sustain life.

'Océans' Film Washes Over France
As Time reports this week, according to box office figures, the oceans have eclipsed George Clooney in popularity this week -- at least in France.
More than 100,000 people went to see Jacques Perrin's new documentary, Océans, in its first 48 hours in French theaters, which is double the number that went to see Clooney's Up in the Air. (They opened the same day).
Océans is the culmination of two years of planning, four years of filming, which included 70 expeditions to 54 shooting locations. The film banks on the beauty of the oceans (plus the skill of the crew and some fancy equipment) to convince viewers that ocean conservation is paramount. Not surprisingly, the technique works, say the critics.
Perrin produced the 1996 documentary, Microcosmos, which followed insects at close range, and 2001's acclaimed Winged Migration.
As a documentary buff and ocean lover, I'm marking my calendar: the film opens in the U.S. on Earth Day, April 22.

How a highway falls apart
When a 50-year-old highway such as the Capital Beltway begins to show its age, the problems are more than pavement-deep. A February report found that traveling on bad roads costs the average D.C. area driver about $2,200 a year in wasted fuel and vehicle wear and tear. Read related article.

I'd love to know how to do this but im 95% sure you can't do it. Clustered/Farmed rd host servers only work in that capacity. Although it seems like you connect to the broker and it sends you to a free host, thats not actually how it happens. You actually connect to a random host, it checks with the broker and either accepts your connection or forwards it to another host. THis means that even when you specify a specific host rather than the farm name, you have no guarantee of actually getting a login in on that server.
I'm not sure what kind of license would allow you to install an application on a terminal server so unlimited users could run it at the same time but not on 2 servers though.

I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen will be released as an audio book by Ecco/Harper Collins (publishers of the print version of the book). The recording will begin in March with the finished product going on sale in May.
Sylvie Simmons, author of the popular Cohen biography, reports that the narrator selected for the project is
Josh Pollock, an actor and very fine musician of the rock / experimental variety, who is currently playing in the new stage production of Woyzeck in Berkeley.
He's done various ads in the past – this will be his first book. I'm sure he'll do a great job, not just because of the tone of his voice, which has a sense of warmth and irony, but because of his knowledge of music and musicians, as well as literature, and a real interest in the subject.

GLENNAN: Ladies and gentlemen, today we are introducing to you, and to the world, these seven men who have been selected to begin training for orbital space flight. [:11]
Fifty years ago this week, a handful of test pilots was about to become American heroes. NASA Administrator T. Keith Glennan introduced them on April 9th, 1959:
GLENNAN: Malcolm S. Carpenter, LeRoy G. Cooper, John H. Glenn, Virgil I. Grissom, Walter M. Schirra, Alan B. Shepard, Donald K. Slayton. These, ladies and gentlemen, are the nation's Mercury astronauts. [:28]
NASA had been created just a few months earlier to handle America's space program. Its job was to move ahead of the Soviet Union, which had put the first satellite in orbit in 1957.
One of NASA's first goals was to put a person in orbit. Under orders from President Dwight Eisenhower, the agency picked military pilots to fly its Mercury capsule -- the Mercury Seven.
Alan Shepard was the first one to fly. But his brief hop came a few weeks after a Soviet cosmonaut became the first man in space. John Glenn was the first American to enter orbit, in 1962.
All of the Mercury Seven eventually made it into space. Shepard even walked on the Moon. Today, only Glenn and Scott Carpenter remain -- the last members of a group of space pioneers: [GLENNAN] the nation's Mercury astronauts.

Pigeonly, a data company that empowers connections between the disfranchised and the free world, has secured a $1 million dollar seed round of financing from a leading group of technology investors that include Mitch Kapor (Kapor Capital), Erik Moore (Base VC), and Kesha Cash (Jalia Ventures). The company, which participated in the fourth cycle of NewME Accelerator, serves a unique audience that typically goes ignored, the prison population. "When people are locked away you kind of forget they exist, it's and out of sight out of mind kind of thing" said Frederick Hutson, Founder & CEO of the company.
Currently, there are about 7000 prison institutions spread across the US in county, state, and federal institutions; it's home to about 2.3 million inmates. While information about these inmates are public record most people can't access or make use of this information because it is hard to find and no central repository to search exists. Pigeonly indexes all the prison and inmate related databases it can find, then algorithmically finds connections between various data points to create a knowledge graph of the prison population. One might think there's little value in this type of data however, the company builds consumer facing products on top of it's data platform to help facilitate communication between inmates and the outside world. Two of it's products, Fotopigeon and Telepigeon, connect digital photos (mostly from cell phones) to inmates living in an analog world and lowers phone calls (recently a hot topic in the FCC) using VoIP technology. "We're going to continue to build products and services that help inmates stay connected. It's the difference between someone coming out of jail and seeing that he has options to succeed in society and re-committing a crime."
The prison industry is an unlikely candidate for a tech startup to focus on. Hutson explains his big vision for Pigeonly as "bringing technology into an antiquated business market that hasn't innovated for years." He goes on to say, "The industry has gotten away with lackluster, over priced products and hasn't evolved into the 21st century." The $2 billion market spent on inmate related services each year is virtually untapped primarily because inmates are hard to reach. Inmates control about $500 million of that market directly with the other $1.5 billion being controlled by people in their networks, like friends and family. Any way you slice it the idea that there is little value in this market becomes moot.
Hutson came up with the idea based on his own experience of being incarcerated for over 4 years for trafficking marijuana. "Being in prison sucks, it forces you to slow down since your day-to-day schedule is literally out of your hands. During that time I became more aware of things that were happening around me like how hard it was for people in prison, like me, to stay connected to what was happening in life in the outside world. Pictures are huge part of that but in the 21st century it can be inconvenient for people to go to drugstores to print photos and the post office to ship them, so what happens is family and inmates slowly begin to lose touch. The same goes for inmate phone calls that are unnecessarily expensive. I wouldn't have been able to solve these problems if I hadn't experienced it for myself."
The biggest thing Hutson says he's learned since launching Pigeonly is to embrace your background rather than hiding it and t spend your time on the people who do get what you are trying to build rather than people who don't.
The Pigeonly team plans to use the seed funding to hire additional team members, scale it's existing user base, and launch additional products.
