Did she or didn't she? There's still no response from Beyonce on whether she was lip-synching her rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" during President Barack Obama's second inauguration on Monday.
Watch the full story on "20/20″ TONIGHT at 10 ET
As the superstar prepares for her Super Bowl halftime performance Feb. 3 in New Orleans, the pressure isn't letting up. All eyes will be on her, paying minute attention to her performance.
So will she or won't she lip-sync at the game? That's the big question.
RELATED: Did Beyonce Lip-Sync National Anthem?
"There was already a lot of pressure on Beyonce to deliver at this upcoming Super Bowl," Brody Brown of Us Weekly magazine told ABC News. "Now there is certainly even more pressure."
The Black Eyed Peas chose to sing live during their Super Bowl halftime performance two years ago – and they were panned by critics and fans alike.
Pop icon Madonna elected to lip-synch during super-hyped halftime performance at the Super Bowl last year, but she said it was one of the most nerve-wracking experiences of her career.
As for Beyonce, expert vocal coaches say she'd be mad not to at least use a backing track during the halftime show.
"It's very difficult to sing and dance at the same time," Mike Stevens, vocal chair at The Colburn School in Los Angeles, told ABC News. "So I would not be surprised if she lip-syncs."
As the country waits to see how this plays out, Beyonce remains closemouthed on the issue — but she certainly isn't trying to hide.
On Thursday the singer shared a photo on Instagram of herself at Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans.

On Tuesday a spokesperson for the U.S. Marine Corps band told ABC News Beyonce did in fact lip-sync the national anthem at the inauguration.
Another spokeswoman later said they were not "in a position to assess" whether she did or didn't sing.

From America's early expansions into Transappalachia and the Louisiana Purchase through later additions of Alaska and island protectorates in the Caribbean and Pacific, Nugent demonstrates that the history of American empire is a tale of shifting motives, as the early desire to annex land for a growing population gave way to securing strategic outposts for America's global economic and military interests.
Thorough, enlightening, and well-sourced, this book explains the deep roots of American imperialism as no other has done.

Old photos from the Fairlie area
Loading wool at "Lilydale" 1913. Sitting on bales S.P. Bray and to the left
George Boldenston. Aprox. 300 bales.
W. Barwood - carrier- with thirty bales of wool from "Lillydale" in
Barwood's commenced business in September 1917. In 1915-17, W. Barwood was in charge of the Council buses in Timaru, and at that time was approached by George Murray of Braemar, about starting a motor transport business in Fairlie. The first two trucks were Garfords, with solid tyres and carried two tons each. Next was a Clydesdale and in 1918 a four ton Dennis. These trucks travelled 12mph and often at night time, so to catch the frost, as the roads were rough and too soft during the day. Maintenance costs were high. When his two sons, Doug & Alf, returned from overseas the company was called Barwood Motors. In 1964 the company was run by Douglas Barwood and the diesel trucks and four wheeled trailers can transport 85 bales of wool in one load. From 1917 to 1925, Mr Barwood ran a Timaru to Fairlie daily service transporting petrol etc. But this stopped in 1925 to protect the railway. Ref.: Life on a Five Pound Note.

taken a leading part in the Puaha Settlers' Association, being their first
chairman. He has been a very energetic worker in other public causes, and leaves
behind him many friends in the district. Mr Bray was very fortunate in the
Sherwood Estate land ballot, drawing a block of 10,197 acres. Mr Bray landed in
Little River six years ago, after getting one of the sections in the Morice
Settlement, and paying his half year's rent with £9 in his pocket, and by thrift
has made a living, and is now in good circumstances.

Anyways I bought a juicer but it broke down 3 days later I actually did lose some weight about 7 lbs in 3 days but did not continue it. I read it on a magazine. First is the name of the magazine. They even recommend a juice fountain from Breville. All you eat is juice you are like fastening. You juice your fruits and vegetables. DO you think this is a good and safe way to lose weight? I found myself amazed on day 3 but since my hubby bought me a cheap juicer I was unable to complete my program. I am still looking forward to doing this again and maybe this time for the 21 days.

Matte medium brown shade which works well in the crease especially when applied with the pony tail crease brush which I love. I usually layer LM cognac on top for a night out but the cafe au lait, smashbox alabaster and some other LM eyeshadows I have from a set look great for a natural work look. Long lasting and goes on the same colour as in the pan. Pricey but worth it.

I love this color, it's a matte mid-tone brown. It works well blended into the crease for a neutral look or as an eyeliner. Lasts a long time and great quality.
It's matte brown. And I think it is dry and too powdery as compared to, say, Chanel, which has a very smooth feel and even the browns have a little kick. I imagine some women will like it for a crease color but there are better browns and better products for less money. Very disappointing. In fact, I'm pretty unhappy with several LM products. Maybe I am in the wrong demographic or have the wrong skin type but I'm just not feeling it. For these prices, I want a little more wow factor and better formulas.
I really like this as a crease shade. I use it with my LM Crease Brush (a fabulous brush btw). It is not an overly obvious shde, and blends very well into my skin. It is described as "neutral-caramel-beige". I don't know if I'm getting as much caramel from this as I would like. In comparison to BB Camel, the Camel seems more caramel-colored to me.

Other Fires Could Be Mentioned in Bundick Arson Trial
By Don Rush
With the opening statements in the trial of Tonya Bundick who faces one count of arson the judge told the attorneys he could not yet grant or deny a motion that would allow evidence of other fires.
The charge is being referred to by law enforcement as count 52 which refers to a fire that took place on March 3rd of last year.
That blaze destroyed a labor camp near Keller owned by Richard Hall III and was one of more than 70 arson reported in Accomack County between November of 2012 and April of last year.
Bundick has pleaded not guilty to 62 counts of arson in connection with the fires.
She entered two Alford pleas of no contest to two counts in January.
Her fiancé Charles Smith has pleaded guilty to 68 counts in connection with 67 fires.

The February State of Spam Reporthighlights an interesting trend in the shift of spam moving from NorthAmerica to EMEA. The percentage of spam originating from EMEA hassurpassed that of North America, which represents a significant shiftin where the bulk of the world's spam is "supposedly" sent from.
This trend has been observed for the past three months with aculmination in January of approximately 44% of all spam email noworiginating from Europe, versus 35.1% from North America. But is thisspam mail really originating in Europe? Although it appears that waythe very nature of spam distribution makes it difficult to accuratelypinpoint the true geographic origin the sender. Spammers often takeadvantage of tricks that allow them to mask their real location andbypass DNS block lists.
Why the increase in spam originating from Europe? One theory pointsto increased broadband usage. The past few years have seen a massivegrowth in broadband users in Europe. As of June 2007, Europe had six ofthe top ten countries for broadband users in the world. This massivegrowth in broadband users does appear to correlate to the sizeableincrease in spam originating from Europe.
More information regarding this trend as well as highlights on other recent trends can be found in the February State of Spam Report.

This week's FourSight question was answered Tuesday at Rocky Mountain College, where students had just returned to school on Monday. We asked, what was your most memorable summer adventure?
Susan Butz, a junior: I went down to Cody, Wyo., to watch the rodeo on the Fourth of July. We didn't have a motel room, so we slept in the back of my friend's truck. It was really windy that night and the lid blew off the truck. I also went horseback riding in the mountains near my home in White Sulphur Springs.
Yancey York, freshman: I went to the Bahamas with a friend, and we stayed with another friend. We hung out a lot and went to the beach.

I feel the same way. Quite often, actually.
Well, since Steely Dan and Donald Fagen have already been mentioned a lot: Walter Becker - Circus Money Walter Becker - 12 tracks of Whack Those albums have such a refreshing sound
It's an overview of Keen's work for Sugar Hill, so a compilation album.
Stadium Arcadium is indeed a very well recorded album in terms of modern recording techniques. However, to really appreciate it, you must hear the vinyl version. The CD really suffers from the loudness wars and is compressed to elephant poop levels. Not good.
Benny Carter - Further Definitions
This album has the most incredible ambience and air I've ever heard. In many tracks it sounds like a binaural recording even though it's not. The recording is clean without any background hiss unlike you sometimes get with jazz albums, the sound is buttery smooth and dynamic.

What happens when you add the romance of a South Pacific cruise to Valentine's Day? On Paul Gauguin Cruises, it means a $200 on-board spa credit and extra goodies too.
The cruise line's Valentine's Gift Package is good for cruises on the MS Paul Gauguin. The ship carries 332 guests and sails around Tahiti and other French Polynesia and South Pacific destinations.
The gift is good for those who reserve a cabin by Feb. 14 on any Paul Gauguin cruise through the end of the year. The $200 credit -- one per booking -- allows you to pick from spa treatments at the ship's Deep Nature Spa by Algotherm.
A glance at the spa's services online shows $200 would cover two 25-minute massages or two 30-minute body scrubs. Or you could spring for the 40-minute Aroma Steam Bath for two which costs a little more ($210).
Other extras include a bottle of sparkling wine and a box of chocolates.
Sample fare on the luxury cruise line: $3,995 per person, based on double occupancy, for a seven-night cruise to...
Read moreHawaii and chocolate may not seem like a natural pairing, but visitors to a Big Island cacao farm will find they go together nicely, especially if they sample the goods.
Home Tours Hawaii, a company that provides various culinary experiences, recently launched its latest tour, one that takes guests to Kokoleka Lani Farms, the cacao farm near Kona.
Participants learn that cacao is the name of the squat tree that produces the pods full of the beans that become cocoa after fermentation and roasting.
Co-owner Greg Colden takes visitors to his stand of cacao trees, picks a ripe pod and slices it open so the raw beans can be tasted. Later, in the factory, Colden demonstrates the cacao-to-cocoa transformation and shows how the beans' chaff is used to make soap.
After the morning tour, guests can try a continental breakfast that includes chocolate espresso muffins and bars of Madre chocolate. Madre uses Hawaiian-grown beans, including those from Kokoleka Lani Farms, to create chocolate in its...

It will be a big weekend for sure: Last year, bettors in Nevada wagered a record $119.4 million on the Super Bowl. The Nevada Gaming Control Board said the combined earnings for sports books statewide totaled more than $19.6 million.
Because this is the big game, you'll want to get the eating/drinking options right if you're in Las Vegas. Here are some good bets. I've even tossed in an option for the kids who obviously can't sit next to Mom or Dad at an adults-only party.
Read moreThe quirky Wayfarer hostel in Santa Barbara and much acclaimed Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles have been cited as two of Gayot's 10 top new hotels in the U.S., according to the guide's website.
Gayot took stock of newcomers in 2014 and ranked those worthy of a tryout. The boutique Kinzie Hotel in Chicago takes the top spot for its location and Chicago map murals on the guestroom walls, according to Gayot's website.
Five of the 10 are in the West, and the New York City area and Florida claim two each.
The Wayfarer is the guide's budget pick for 2014. You can get a private or dorm-style room with "free breakfast, a terrific pool and a community kitchen worthy of the most discerning gourmet chef," Gayot says.
It's pretty hard to beat the sheer beauty of the 1927 United Artists building that Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles took over. The ornate theater, the Chapter restaurant and the rooftop pool put the hotel at No. 3. (Gayout liked the in-room acoustic Martin guitars too.)

Hebrides Cruises isn't the only single-boat cruise line that operates in Scotland but it is among the newest.
The company last year started taking visitors to the Hebrides islands off the west coast of Scotland.
This year it offers eight itineraries -- to places like Mull, Skye, St. Kilda, Mingulay, Shiants -- aboard the Elizabeth G, a former Norwegian rescue boat. It holds just 12 guests on four- to six-night sailings, and a naturalist and nature photographer come along too.
Prices range from 830 to 1,800 British pounds ($1,245 to $2,700).
Argyll Cruising launches this year with a converted wooden fishing boat that accommodates just seven guests. It debuts with four itineraries on three- to six-night cruises to destinations such as Arran, Ailsa Craig and the Mull of Kintyre, according to a statement.

Answer: In the L.A. area, we're paying about $1.11 less for a gallon of gas at the pumps than we were last year at the same time, according to AAA's Fuel Gauge report. When I'm filling the car, I'm tempted to shake my fist and say, "C'mon, airlines, you big bunch of …." You can fill in that last part.
Cursing those culprits might temporarily alleviate my angst, but experts remind me that it's not that simple. Nothing about airlines or airfares is.

Hello my name's chase, besides the point though, I've been trying to get Mabinogi to work on my computer and I can finish the first cutscene no problem, but a glitch occured where all I can do after the cut scene is listen to the music and stare at a black screen. I looked deeper into this issue and I found a startling truth about this game... There is no Tech support. You can submit a ticket, however from what I've seen, none of the other people with this same exact glitch (back in 2008 though) received any replies from GM's or anyone for that matter. There's a technical support forum, however it's player run, meaning if it's something major like a couple hundred people having the same problem, and the creators, (after 2 years) still haven't patched it, there needs to be a better support forum. For a game to succeed it needs to bend to the needs of the players, the players provide revenue, minor advertising, so on and so forth. I'd like nexon to know that ignoring a major problem with there game and assuming that every problem there game has can be solved by the players is not a good way to keep people coming to the site. What if this glitch (as well as others) is found out among a larger community of game players such as MMORPG? Reputation as a great game will go straight down the hill if your tech support, which is meant to HELP the players, is run by the players themselves, and some of them are begging for help on situations that are above there power. Anyway, feedback, say whatever, and yes I'm totally bashing the game right now because after 2 weeks of going through every known thing I can, as well as trying the solutions suggested by the 2008 players, nothing has worked cause I've seen a few posts recently in 2010 (2008 when glitch was posted) that state the exact same glitch, and again no help. I'd like to get a higher power (Like MMORPG.com) to influence Nexon to care a little more deeply about there players. thanks for reading, have a nice day. |

March 16, 2010 By Bill Schrier
So the FCC has published its national broadband plan. This plan has many implications for cities and counties and local government. It has implications for public safety and general government, for consumers, for business, for wired and wireless networks.
Here's my take on it:
Q: Is this plan really radical or different?
A: The FCC has charted a brave new vision for the United States with this plan. For example, in this plan the FCC has set a goal of "one hundred squared", that is, connecting 100 million households with 100 megabits per second. This is radical because it cannot be accomplished with existing copper wire networks such as the telephone networks or cable TV networks. Such speeds require fiber optic cable to every home and business, a radical change. The speeds copper can carry are quite limited. But fiber cable lightwave signals theoretically, have no upper limit on speed. Incidentally, there are about 114 million households in the U.S.
Q: A 100 megabits per second - a 100 million bits per second - is "geekspeak" . What does it really mean for consumers at home or small business?
A: Let me give you one specific example. Many homes and businesses are buying and installing flat screen TVs, and most of those are HDTV - high definition. That's cool, and the quality of the image is very detailed. But the signal is one way - you "watch the TV" - you don't really "interact" with it or use it for communications like you use a phone. At the same time, you can buy a video camcorder - even a cheap one like a Flip phone - that takes HDTV video. Now, let's suppose you could put the video camcorder next to the HDTV and connect them - all of a sudden you would have a video telephone or a video conferencing setup. You could make video phone calls. You could attend meetings with video. You could attend class at a high school or community college or a university, and actually interact with the teacher or professor - ask questions and participate. You could visit your doctor to talk about a health problem, or work from home. You could visit your local appliance store or clothing store and talk to the owner and have the owner demonstrate what you want to buy. You could play really cool interactive video games. And think of the implications for quality of life - with this sort of video, grandparents could have dinner with their kids and grandchildren every night via a video phone. They could see their grandchildren from hundreds or thousands of miles away, or from an assisted living or nursing home. But all of this requires super fast networks for both high quality and almost zero latency - no delay, just like the voice phone network. And this requires fiber with 100 million bits per second or more. To each home or business.
Q: What are the implications for large cities like Seattle?
A: Seattle has been a leader in thinking about these networks. We've already installed fiber cable connecting every public school, all our college campuses, every fire station, police precinct and every major government building. We have done extensive planning for a fiber optic cable network to every one of the 300,000 homes and businesses in Seattle. We are a high tech community and we value education. We need such a fiber network for jobs, education and quality of life. Mayor Michael McGinn is very committed to the idea, and a number of departments are working together on a business plan to make it happen. The visionary goals set by the FCC's broadband plan - 100 million bits per second to 100 million homes - validate that we're following the right path, and we need to move rapidly to stay ahead of other cities in the United States and around the world.
Q: How can we learn more about this Seattle plan?

Q: What are the implications of the FCC plan for suburban and rural communities?
A: Suburban communities can be wired with fiber, just like the FCC's plan envisions and Seattle intends to do. Some Seattle area communities such as Kirkland and Woodinville already have fiber networks installed by Verizon. In rural communities installing fiber to farms and small towns may not always make economic sense, although in some visionary places like Chelan County, the local PUD is doing it anyway. But the FCC has envisioned an alternative for rural communities - high speed wireless broadband. Today's wireless networks are usually called "3G" or 3rd Generation. Fourth Generation - 4G - wireless networks will be available in a few places by the end of 2010. These faster networks require a lot of spectrum. You may recall that, in June, 2009, all TV broadcast signals became digital - every TV in the nation had to have a wired cable connection or a digital antenna. The FCC mandated this digital transition to take spectrum away from UHF TV use and give it to telecommunications companies to build 3G and 4G networks. The FCC's broadband plan calls for adding another 500 megahertz of spectrum to be dedicated to new, faster, wireless networks. The FCC will try to convince TV broadcasters to give up even more of the 300 MHz of spectrum now used for TV. And the government itself controls another 600 MHz of spectrum, some of which could be used for wireless broadband.
Q: The nation faces a number of threats - terrorism, disasters (like earthquakes and hurricanes like Katrina) and even local disasters like the shooting of four Lakewood, Washington, police officers in 2009. Will the FCC's national broadband plan help with this problem?
A: Public safety communications were problematical on September 11th in New York City, in the Katrina Hurricane and in other disasters. The public cell phone networks won't reliably operate in such disasters or, sometimes, even in daily emergencies like power outages. The FCC has allocated 10 Mhz of spectrum in the 700 Mhz band for a nationwide public safety broadband network. In the national broadband plan, the FCC proposes putting money where its mouth has been - the FCC is proposing $6.5 billion in grants to create the public safety network. The City of Seattle is one of only 17 communities nationwide who have asked the FCC for permission to use this spectrum and build such a network. In their plan, the FCC includes a method for setting standards and operating procedures which will allow cities like Seattle, San Francisco, New York and Boston to build. And these municipal or regional public safety wireless broadband networks will interoperate with others nationwide. In fact, under the FCC's plan, the public safety networks will also interoperate with networks being constructed by AT&T and Verizon and T-Mobile. So if a police officer or firefighter can't get a strong signal from the public safety network the officer could get signals from a commercial network instead.
Furthermore, Seattle has proposed that other government agencies - our electric utility, Seattle City Light, our water utility, Seattle Public Utilities, our transportation department, and others, also be allowed to use this network. In both daily emergencies and major disasters such "second responders" are vital to public safety and must interoperate with police and fire to keep the public safe. The national broadband plan recognizes this need as well.
Q: Practically, why do we need a public safety wireless broadband network?
A: I'll give one specific example - video. On October 31, 2009, a Seattle police officer was brutally murdered by an unknown assailant - Christopher Montfort was ultimately charged with the crime. How did the police find Montfort? I've discussed this in more detail in this blog entry, but essentially, every Seattle police patrol vehicle has a video camera which records video of traffic stops. The recording goes to a computer in the police vehicle. It took several days for the police to review all the video footage of traffic stops from Seattle police cars. They noticed, in the background of several such stops, a uniquely shaped vehicle cruising by, which was traced back to Montfort. With a wireless broadband network, such video could immediately, in real time, be transmitted to dispatch centers and other police officers. Furthermore, police and firefighters could receive mugshots, building plans, hazardous material data, and video from a variety of sources to improve their response to both daily incidents and larger disasters.
Q: Are there other implications of the plan?
A: Several are worth mentioning and there is a bit more detail in an analysis here.
In summary, the FCC's plan is visionary. Certainly it was carefully crafted with many competing interests interests in mind. And it doesn't really provide any good mechanism to encourage competition between private providers. Such competition would reduce costs to users. Nevertheless, if it is followed, will materially improve the economy, safety, and quality of life for the people of the United States.

Seattle just became the latest City to start posting its government data on the Internet in an open format. Open Data publishing may very well transform not just government, but Democracy, as well.
Data.seattle.gov has been live for a couple of months but was just officially announced this past Thursday, February 25th.
An interesting initiative, but what implication does it have for governing and government?
Making government transparent is not new - it has actually been going on since the first government websites went live in the mid-1990s. Most governments have a wide variety of data posted online. But in many cases it is hard to find or get in bulk. Constituents can search for individual building permits or maps or police reports. But only in the past 18 months have they been able to download whole datasets of such information in a usable format from online sites.
By "whole datasets" I mean, for example, perhaps almost every 911 call which occurred in San Francisco during the month of December, 2009, or every restaurant inspection in the entire City of Chicago, or all the building permits issued anywhere in the District of Columbia.
Government openness and transparency really found its legs with President Obama's declaration, on his first day as President, that he would run an open and transparent government. Many large cities now have open data websites. San Francisco's datasf.org is one of the most comprehensive and best, but Chicago, New York and Washington DC have similar sites in operation. Cook County Illinois and the State of Utah among many others put their "checkbooks" online.
The open data trend hasn't really reached a lot of smaller counties, cities and states just yet, but it will. For one thing, commercial services such as Socrata ( www.socrata.com) which powers the City of Seattle's data.seattle.gov and many federal websites, make it relatively cheap and easy for governments to post their data. (Socrata famously hosts the White House visitor log, which has received 400,000 views.)
But is putting data in bulk, online, anything more than a fad?
I believe it is the tip of a very serious explosion of a new version of democracy. Until now, governments use of the Internet has paralleled use in the private sector, although generally lagging two to three years. The private sector is driven by competition and is less risk adverse than those of us who work with taxpayer dollars.
Perhaps the first iteration of government presence on the Internet/web was simply putting information on line. For example, how to apply for a building permit, or explanations of how to report problems with streets.
The second version of online government is transactions, that is, actually doing some business online such as paying a utility bill or parking ticket.
Then the third wave of online work is expanding information to include this bulk download or easy, machine-readable, querying of data, such as data.seattle.gov and similar sites listed above. This makes fascinating applications available such as stumble safely or Cleanscores, listing the health inspection results for restaurants in San Francisco. An explosion of privately developed applications is starting to occur based on this open data. And also, in this wave of innovation, government diverges significantly from the private sector. Few private businesses will want to place large amounts of data collected at their own expense in the public domain for anyone to see and use.
A fourth wave of online interaction is now starting to appear, typified by the site " see click fix" where constituents can not only report issues online (using a map-based interface in the case of see-click-fix) but also see what others have reported and even rank the importance of the issues which have been reporrted.
A fifth wave is bound to occur, as governments expose their internal processes to public scrutiny, in the same fashion Fedex has done for package shipments or banks have done for loan processing. In this iteration, governments will not only accept a report of a problem or a need, but will actually allow citizens to track the problem resolution online. The citizen can report a broken streetlight, see when it is acknowledged or logged, see when it is scheduled for work, know when the crew is dispatched, see when the problem is fixed, and then provide feedback on the timeliness and quality of work. This will really make government accountable, as we'll have to streamline our business processes and expose them to scrutiny, along with the data about how government operates.
But yet another wave of citizen-to-government interaction is occurring as well. In this iteration, data will be posted online, and people will write applications and analyze it, and then use it to create and inform public policy options for elected officials to consider.
For example, a City might acquire a building such as a school which is no longer needed. How should the government use it? Should it be torn down and sold to commercial developers? Should it be torn down and used for a park (and what kind of park - swimming pool, grassy knoll, childrens' playground)? Should it be converted into a community center or housing or offices for non-profit organizations?
Answering these questions requires a lot of data and analysis. How many kids live nearby and what is the neighborhood crime rate? Are there already lots of parks and playgrounds and pools nearby? Are there a lot of seniors or immigrants or people with special needs? In the past, government employees would collect the data and crunch it and present the analyses and drive the solution. And then the government would have a public meeting to discuss and debate the options.
But eventually, community activists and the neighborhood can do a lot of that, especially if they have access to all the same data and statistics as the government.
Furthermore, they can collect a LOT more and varied inputs. They can poll the neighborhood and canvas door-to-door and collect information from the "man on the street". They can take photos of neighborhood conditions and gather unique statistics about the health and quality of life in that community. They can then combine these sorts of input with census data to produce an entirely new look at the options. And public meetings about potential uses of this school building can be much more informed, with mashups and maps and interactivity using tools like twitter and blogs. Online polls using tools such as Ideasforseattle or Ideascale can allow the neighborhood to debate and rank choices, and be engaged in deeper and more meaningful ways than ever before.
Ultimately, such interactive government should result in better decisions, informed by the communities affected.
Does this mean the end of representative democracy as we know it? Could we do away with elected officials entirely and have true governing by the people?
Hardly. There will continue to be very hard decisions which individual neighborhoods and communities will fight tooth-and-nail, but decisions that have to be made for the good of society as a whole. No one wants a jail or a garbage transfer station or housing for sex offenders or a nuclear waste dump in their neighborhood. But we need all those things for society to function, and elected leaders will need to make those hard decisions.
Data.gov, Datasf.org, Data.seattle.gov. These are only the beginning of a new and exciting era in our democracy. Still, good leadership will never go out of fashion.

The nation's e-mail and blogging and twitter engines worked overtime on Wednesday February 10th when Google announced its intent to fund ultra-high-speed Internet access for 50,000 to 500,000 people nationwide.
This ain't your grandma's "broadband" connection. And it ain't the 100-squared broadband envisioned by FCC Chair Julius Genachowski in a speech on Tuesday February 15th - 100-squared is 100 megabits per second to 100 million people by 2020 - a pretty bold vision in and of itself. Google wants to provide one gigabit (one billion bits or about 120 million bytes) per second to homes via fiber optic cable.
At a gigabit per second, a very high quality movie would download in 8 seconds flat, compared to an hour or more with a fast cable modem or DSL connection. Google published an RFI and is seeking responses from cities who want Google to come and build. The City of Seattle announced very quickly its intention to apply and jump on the bandwagon. Of course we have a visionary Mayor, Mike McGinn, who is publicly seeking, as a priority for his administration, to build a fiber network to every home and business in Seattle.
So what is Google trying to do here?
Is it being a altruistic corporation, hoping to better the lives of average citizens while fulfilling its pledge to "make money without doing evil"?
Some of Google's motives are clear. They want to offer a competitive service and these networks are clearly "experimental". This is all about Internet, not about offering phone or cable TV service, although, at a gigabit a second, you can watch HDTV video from websites and use video conferencing and telephone service until you are blind and hoarse.
They explicitly want to "see what developers and users can do with ultra high-speeds, whether it's creating new bandwidth-intensive "killer apps" and services, or other uses we can't yet imagine". That implies to me that they want to connect high-tech businesses to other high-tech businesses and to their own employees in their homes as well as connecting other very tech-savvy users, students, and others who will push the envelope. This is probably NOT a network for serving low-income neighborhoods, bridging the digital divide, or connecting mom-and-pop businesses in neighborhoods.
Furthermore, Google would build networks to serve 50,000 to 500,000 "people" (not households or businesses). They want to serve multiple cities, so the chances any individual City would get service are pretty low (1 in 600 or maybe 1 in 6000). And in any given City, not many households would be served. If they do networks to serve 100,000 people, that's probably about 30,000 households, and if they do this in five cities, it is about 6,000 households in any given place.
What other strings will be attached?
Google makes money selling targeted ads. They also like consumers to use their products, e.g. if you want to use Buzz you need a Gmail account and it undoubtedly will gather information about how people use these networks as a part of the "experiment".
Finally, I am certain Google is sending a message to the cable companies and telecommunications carriers here. Those companies thrive on making broadband scarce. As a scarce commodity and a duopoly service (as it is in many communities), the telcomms and cable folks can charge more and keep hiking up rates. They put limits on how much broadband any given consumer can use. They undoubtedly would like to charge "content providers" - companies like Microsoft and Amazon and ... yes ... Google - money to make sure the content of those companies has priority and guaranteed delivery in an allegedly scarce and constrained bandwidth network. This is what the "net neutrality" debate is all about.
But Google (and lots of other people) know better. With fiber-to-the-home, speed is unlimited, the bandwidth is no longer scarce and the fat profits of the incumbents evaporate.
I'm certainly excited about the Google challenge. They are challenging the developers, the carriers, the cable companies and the FCC, to push the limits in its national broadband plan, due out March 17th.
Are there strings attached? No doubt. But this is a revolutionary proposal. Its about the economic future of our cities, region and nation.
And it is cool.
January 27, 2010 By Bill Schrier
On January 26th Admiral Jamie Barnett of the FCC spoke about the National Broadband Plan, which is now due out on March 17th (and I understand New York City, Boston and other cities with large Irish-American populations plan to have parades in honor of the plan that day, too!)
As a CTO, I'm so immersed in technology that I'm not sure "broadband" means anything to the average American (if an "average" American exists).
Certainly most Americans are now at least aware of the Internet and use technology in their lives, even if that tech is nothing more than a cell phone or ATM. But all you have to do is watch the security lines at any airport and see all the laptops and luggables and cell phones and DVD players and other associated smart lumps of plastic dumped on the scanner lines to know that tech is ubiquitous in most people's lives.
A significant fraction of people know about broadband and what it means. In Seattle, some 84% of homes have an Internet connection, 75% have something faster than dial-up and 88% have a computer at home. Of course Seattle's got a reputation as a city of high tech folks (an image Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and I work hard to polish). But even nationwide 79% of homes have an Internet connection and 63% are faster than dial-up. The source for these stats is here.
These are numbers are hard to fathom when one considers the web didn't exist 20 years ago, and most people probably thought "Internet" had something to do with basketball, volleyball, tennis or another "net-centric" sport.
Admiral Barnett heads the Homeland Security and Public Safety Bureau at the FCC. He's charged with making wireless spectrum available to government in general and specifically to the law enforcement, firefighting and emergency medical agencies who keep the public safe. He spoke at the Winter Summit of Association of Public Safety Communications Officials on January 26th, and gave us a glimpse of what the National Broadband Plan will contain.
Admiral Barnett's remarks centered on wireless spectrum for use by first responders. About 10 Megahertz is available nationwide for public safety, but the license for that is held by a single nationwide organization. Yet most police, fire and emergency medical agencies are operated by cities and counties. Given this paradoxical situation, 17 states and cities have requested waivers from the FCC to use that spectrum in their local areas to immediately create networks for their use.
And why is the spectrum required? These new wireless networks hold promise that cops in police vehicles can see videos of crimes in progress as they race to crime scenes, or rapidly access building plans, images and video. Have a peek at a report prepared by PTI and APCO here for more uses.
According to Admiral Barnett, those waivers may be granted later this year so we can get started building the network.
The FCC is very interested in public-private partnerships to build the networks because many jurisdictions don't have funds to construct such networks for themselves. Luckily, commercial cell phone carriers like Verizon and AT&T, and companies like Motorola and Alcatel-Lucent have signed on in support of this plan, and are developing new networks including LTE (long term evolution) for not only their own networks but also for public safety use. This means public safety agencies could use a network built and funded by taxpayers (more resilient, better priority, less costly) for most of their work, but could roam only the commercial carriers' networks when necessary. This is in stark contrast to today's networks, where police/fire radios are incompatible with the cell phone networks. The best of both worlds!
It looks like the FCC will encourage these partnerships in its plan.
The FCC also knows that funding will be required to construct these networks. Admiral Barnett understands funding is required not just to build the networks, but to operate them. Besides public-private partnerships, the FCC is floating the idea of an Emergency Response Interoperability Center (ERIC) to pushing forward on a national public safety wireless network. We'll hear more about this on February 10th .
Finally, Barnett said "next generation 911" will also be recognized in the national broadband plan. Right now, the only way to get information to a 911 center is to ... well ... telephone 911!
But many citizens' cell phones have the capability to do text messages, take photos and video. Yet 911 centers have little or no capability to accept such media, which can be critical to rapidly apprehending perpetrators and rendering aid to victims. We higher-speed land line fiber optic networking between 911 centers and other public safety and government facilities too, and I hope that will be in the Plan.
Twenty years ago, very few people knew of the Internet or Web. Now it is an indispensible part of most people's lives and a vital component of our HomeCity security and public safety. But we need more network SPEED, both wired and wireless. The National Broadband Plan could be, with a bit of vision by the FCC (and I've given them my vision here), a roadmap to the future of the nation.

We have a Time Machine.
It is one way, moving 60 seconds an hour, 24 hours a day, into The Future. The Consumer Electronics Show is a window into The Future. Technology demonstrated there this week will be available to early-adopter consumers and businesses in the next year or two, and will be available at Costco soon thereafter. And it has at least one common theme - networks will have to be fast. Not just fast, but FAST. Here are some examples:
But what does all this speed really get you in the real world?
For one thing, much faster two-way or multi-way video telephone or video conferencing, which means fewer commute trips in cars and less demand on other transportation such as plane trips across the country.
That translates into less air pollution, less dependence on foreign oil (and need for foreign military expeditions) and less global warming. Then there is improved entertainment, interactive gaming, energy management, and much much more.
But it all depends on rapid deployment of LTE for wireless and fiber-to-the-premise for wired networks. The Time Machine is taking us inexorably into this glitzy new future. But are our wireless and wired networks ready for this? Not in Seattle, certainly.
We need a network vision to match our CES vision and here it is.
The Flux Capacitor is fluxing. The Time Machine is ready. Are we ready to build the network we need?
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn is ready, and we're going to do it.

I'm tired. Tired as fuck. I've got a fucking migraine, and it won't go away. The screams are loud and I've been feeling a lovely urge to kill someone. That last one doesn't feel like me, but whatever. I keep fantasizing about various activities like slitting someone's throat, smashing someone's head with a sledgehammer, flaying someone alive... that sort of thing.
The more I try to face my memory head on, the more misery and hate I feel. When I think about it all, it's like the gates that keep all the rage start to weaken. It's not nice.
I'm not generally a violent person, and that's why the violent urges disturb me so much. I'm going to talk to my therapist about it sometime, but I dunno where it comes from.
But yeah... it's just... I want to cut them up. I want to watch them bleed and hear them scream and beg and weep and then cut their tongue out and watch them drown in their own blood... but at the same time i'm revolted that I can even think that. The fact that I can type it out without feeling sick is out of character; the fact that I can type it out with such relish and angry joy is... perverse. Disturbing.
it's just... so much HATE. And I want to hurt them. I want to hurt them so badly, but I don't even know who they are; and I don't want to. If I knew, I might actually do some of these things I want to do. And I'm worried I'd enjoy it.
But whoever it is, it's their fault I'm so sick and broken and perverted. It's their fault I feel the urges I feel and the lusts I'm so ashamed of. And I want to kill them for it. But I want to forgive them for it... because how broken must they have been, to have raped a child? How sick must they have been? The screams are so loud... I would do anything to make it stop. But I don't know if I could live with myself if they stopped and I realized I'd hurt someone.
I'm sick, yes. And my mind is stained with my own bile. And what if I turn out to be as sick as whoever did this? I would slit my own throat before I let that happen, I assure you... I hate death, but I would embrace her with open arms were i to break anyone else, in any way. and I would kill anyone who broke someone I love.
Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy. Heh, maybe? But i'm tired, and depressed, and angry. And I think I'll sleep soon.
Example B of the problem with Oasis: When peer support is all "WTF to do with this?!" ;-)
I watched Oldboy this evening, so I did see slit throats, hammer attacks, etc., tonight, but I try and keep this stuff contained to movies.
But, yeah, let's bring the therapist up to date on this...
I do wonder, though, how much of therapy is about sorting the past, unpacking the past, etc., etc., as opposed to moving forward, or does one have to happen to enable the other?
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
Except when I do it I only imagine killing innocent people. I like to do that while listening to Whitehouse at loud volumes. It's the only proper situation in which to think those thoughts. So have some good soundtrack to your problem:
Essentially that song is someone trying to make himself heard over a powersaw? That's all I caught there. :P I'm teasing, of course. Just not my taste. Thanks, though.
Well, I don't really know who I'm imagining it about. Just some faceless person. So I dunno. Could be innocent. I'd rather it not be. I don't like that idea.
Personally, I rather like listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds while I feel particularly psychopathic.

Capping off the year of 2010, Senmuth comes out to release another album, one that- on first glance- is different stylistically, at least as far as the album artwork is concerned. Although things have undoubtedly been quite slow for Senmuth to resume music in 2011, 'TE-E-MA' is a slightly more intelligent and textured piece of work than usual for this artist, making for a good listen to tie the Senmuth fan over until his next big release.
The music here is atmospheric, instrumental and- at times- surprisingly heavy. Essentially an amalgamation of Senmuth's diverse instrumental styles, a listener can hear electronica, folk, exotic ethnic, and metal all in one place, making this a very good place to start listening to this artist. Beginning with the fairly dark electronic/symphonic track 'Contour Of Events', the album's overture works as a strong, albeit derivative way to get the listener into the journey.
While the music here is almost entirely without vocals (the last track features some ambient singing) there are plenty of textures and different sounds at play here. Most tracks follow a general theme, and build around it. Unfortunately, very few of the ideas on 'TE-E-MA' stand out as being memorable or melodic, but the variety of sounds here can make for an engaging listen, especially for someone who hasn't heard Senmuth's music before.
'TE-E-MA' does feel like it's a regression back to the earliest Senmuth, where the order of the day was energetic industrial/electronic metal that was almost contagious in it's cheerful nature. While the album could have easily fit in back in 2005, there is certainly a more matured display and delivery here, with a great deal more variety than usual.
Unfortunately, Senmuth has still not solved many of his problems in the execution, including very fake sounding orchestral and instrumental sounds. Due to the fact that all of Senmuth's work is done on a home studio, the music's more ethnic style suffers from sounding fake and unpolished, although the electronic elements are done very well.
While 'TE-E-MA' is not a revelation for Senmuth and instead chooses to dig up an older sound, it is promising. Perhaps as a foreboding of what Senmuth will do in 2011, 'TE-E-MA' shows potential for his next piece of work. Until then, I shall wait for the Russian madman to find his inspiration and record once again.
