Stimulus offers messy test of public/private telecom models
As broadband stimulus funds flow into public/private partnerships, they are sure to reveal cracks that still exist in our understanding of how to balance public and private interests in telecom successfully.
Tonight the city council in Provo, Utah will discuss whether to grant a request to reduce monthly payment obligations from Broadweave Networks, which acquired the city's struggling fiber-to-the-home network last year.
Broadweave argued it could turn the fiber operations around by replacing its open, wholesale-only model with one in which it played both the role of service provider and network operator. It's not clear yet that the strategy will be successful. Now Broadweave wants to merge with one of the service providers on the network, Veracity Communications, using the temporary break in payments to the city — $1.5 million over two years � to get the combined operation up to speed. And that plea for financial help is raising concerns.
On one hand, the change may not be much strain on the city; Broadweave has made its monthly payments so far and will resume the regular schedule after two years. On the other hand, an editorial in Utah's Daily Herald points out, the city could well ask why Broadweave, as a private company, doesn't just seek private financing instead. The choice illustrates the uncomfortable position the city is in, invested in Broadweave's success as it continues to pay off the debt it originally incurred to build the network.
�The larger lesson in all this is clear,� the Daily Herald editorial said. �Government should steer clear of enterprises that properly belong to the private sector.�
Folks in New England might feel differently. There, some customers of Fairpoint Communications have been asking the government to intervene in the private sector's handling of their telecom and broadband services. Fairpoint, which is seeking financial relief from state governments as it racks up service penalties from its wholesale customers, has earned the wrath of customers in three states after acquiring Verizon Communications' network last year. And those three states, like Provo, are uncomfortably invested in the success of a private company over which they have very little control. What is the larger lesson there?
I wish it were clear. The federal broadband stimulus program is likely to open a floodgate of not only public and private broadband operations but, in particular, broadband networks born of public/private partnerships. (And in many cases, the details of these plans are being rushed in order to avoid missing out on a chance for free money.) We're still learning how to make these models work. Broadband stimulus projects will add a lot to that education. But it will be messy.

TUAW Faceoff: Screenshot apps on the firing line
- iTunes Comparison
All five apps with the same "window" capture. Grab and Skitch both added a 3-D drop-shadow, while the other programs just took a static capture of the window. Only Grab managed to capture the curved corners.
- Dock Comparison
Four of the five programs could take some sort of screen grab of the dock -- but only Grab managed to capture one that was not only complete, but had perfect transparency. Skitch only worked when an element was dragged over and ImageShot and SnapzPro could only get about half of the dock itself.
- Grab Desktop
Grab takes a fine desktop image, although if you use the default options, the Grab toolbar is at the top.
- Grab Dock
The Leopard dock as captured with Grab is picture perfect. It was the only program we tested taht was able to capture the 3-D effects in full and without distortion.
- Grab Open Screen
Grab was able to capture the layers and shadows of multiple open windows with ease. However, note that if using the "capture" bar at the top, the depressed menu will be included in the shot.
- Grab Menu Bar
Grab captured the menu bar without any of the icons at the right (clock, date, battery status)
- Grab Menu Elements
Grab can also capture individual icons on the menubar, something most of the programs we tested failed to do.
- Grab Menu Element 2
The search icon as captured by Grab.
- Grab CoverSutra
Grab was the only program that could capture the drop down CoverSutra Menu in its entirety and without any other elements obscuring its view.
- Grab Tooltip
Grab can capture the text on the menubar transparently, as seen above.
- Grab iTunes Video
Grab's capture of an iTunes TV episode during playback
- Grab Front Row
Using the Timed Shot feature, Grab can take capture the Front Row interface.
- Grab iTunes
Grab captured the minimized iTunes window better than any other program. Note the curved edges and proper coloring.
- Grab Preview
Grab does the best job with an individual window. Again, notice how the curved corners blend into the background.
- InstantShot! Desktop
InstantShot! takes a pretty standard screenshot of the desktop.
- InstantShot! iTunes
Like SnapzPro and QuickSnap, InstantShot! takes a flattened capture of the minimized iTunes window. By default, InstantShot! adds a mouse cursor to the screenshot, so keep in mind that you will need to disable that feature (it isn't enough to just not have the cursor on the element).
- InstantShot! Dock
InstantShot! does a pretty awful job capturing the dock. Not only is only half the dock captured and the background still visible, the element could only be selected when hovered over an icon.
- InstantShot! iTunes Video
InstantShot's capture of an iTunes TV episode during playback
- InstantShot! Menu Bar
InstantShot! does a nice job capturing the menu bar exactly as it appears on the screen at the time of capture.
- InstantShot! Tooltip
InstantShot! captures the same area of the menubar as Grab, but instead of just grabbing the transparent text, the entire element is captured.
- InstantShot! Menu Bar Elements
InstantShot! can capture specific icons in the menu bar as well -- most of the programs were unable to do this.
- InstantShot! Element 2
The Skich icon as captured by InstantShot!
- InstantShot! Front Row
InstantShot's ability to take multiple timed shots is one of its best (and most unique) features.
- InstantShot! Open Menu
Like Grab, InstantShot! shows the highlighted icon at the top of the screen when capturing lots of open windows. Again, the cursor is visible by default.
- InstantShot! Preview
InstantShot! does a fine job capturing the Preview window, but the edges are not curved and if you actually view this capture IN preview, the backgrounds blend together.
- QuickSnap Desktop
QuickSnap does a nice job with capturing images, but be aware that in the trial version, the capture window will obscure any full screen screenshots. The default file type is JPEG, which isn't as efficient or as accurate or images containing lots of text and line art (like screenshots).
- QuickSnap Open Screen
The text isn't quite as sharp on this screenshot because of the JPEG nature of the default format.
- QuickSnap iTunes Video
QuickSnap can take video stills without issue. Again, the capture window is always visible on fullscreen shots unless you buy the full version of the program.
- QuickSnap iTunes
QuickSnap probably took the worst capture of the minimized iTunes window, again, because of the JPEG format.
- QuickSnap CoverSutra
QuickSnap was able to capture the area around the CoverSutra drop down menu, but not isolate it and retain transparency like Grab.
- QuickSnap Menu Bar
QuickSnap does a fine job capturing the menu bar as it appeared on the screen.
- QuickSnap Preview
Like InstantShot! if you view the preview in Preview, the background blends in with Preview's background, making the picture hard to see.
- Skitch Desktop
Skitch does a great job taking a picture of the desktop
- Skitch Front Row
Skitch has a timed feature (just press shift before clicking the screen or element) which means you can take screenshots from things like Front Row.
- Skitch Dock
Skitch can almost capture the dock as well as Grab, but there is a problem, you must hover over an icon to grab the area -- and unless you set the dock to remain the same size, this impairs taking a proper screenshot. Otherwise, the transparency and size of the dock are correctly captured.
- Skitch Open Screen
Skitch does a nice job taking a screenshot of open windows.
- Skitch iTunes
Other than Grab, Skitch does the best job taking screenshots of windowed elements. The corners in the iTunes bar are still not completely curved, but the transparent shadow adds a nice effect.
- Skitch Menu Bar
Like Grab, Skitch grabs the menu bar sans icons -- it's clean, which makes it nice if you want to post or publish a screenshot, but could be frustrating if you wanted to show the icons in place.
- Skitch Menu Element
Skitch can, however, capture menu elements, like the icon from iCal.
- Skitch iTunes Video
Skitch takes a nice screenshot from iTunes playing back video.
- Skitch Tooltip
Like Grab, Skitch takes a transparent capture of the tooltip text from the menu bar.
- Skitch Preview
The Skitch Preview window is second only to Grab in terms of overall clarity.
- SnapzPro Desktop
SnapzPro uses the default Grab keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-Shift-3) to capture elements. From there, you can choose from "full screen" "selection" or "objects." The desktop in SnapzPro looks very, very nice.
- SnapzPro Dock
SnapzPro attempts to capture the dock but only manages to grab half of it and does not have the proper transparency. Perhaps a hold-over from Tiger (for which SnapzPro X 2.x was originally written).
- SnapzPro iTunes Video
SnapzPro does a very nice job grabbing the iTunes video playback clip. No options in the menu bar or obstructed or depressed.
- SnapzPro iTunes
SnapzPro captures the iTunes minimized window without a shadow, and although it looks better than QuickSnap or InstantShot!, it still pales in comparison to Skitch and Grab.
- SnapzPro CoverSutra
SnapzPro can capture the CoverSutra window, but not with the correct transparency. Grab is the only program that captured this element correctly.
- SnapzPro Menu Bar
SnapzPro takes a screenshot of the menu bar with all icons displayed.
- SnapzPro Open Screen
Like Skitch, SnapzPro does a great job capturing the open and overlapping windows.
- SnapzPro Preview
Although the Preview screenshot is not as good as Grab or Skitch, SnapzPro manages to capture the window in a color that does not blend in exactly when viewing the image IN Preview.

Two More Indicted in Ongoing Defense Travel Fraud Investigation
NORFOLK, Va. – James Ogiste, 26, of Atlanta, Ga., and Travis Bowman, 23, of Pleasanton, Tex., were individually indicted by a Norfolk federal grand jury late yesterday on charges of wire fraud, false claims, and theft of government property.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, made the announcement after the grand jury returned its indictments. Ogiste and Bowman both face a maximum penalty of 35 in prison years if convicted.
According to each indictment, Ogiste and Bowman were United States Marines assigned as administrators of the Defense Travel System, a computer system used to effect official travel. The indictments charge that Ogiste and Bowman used their positions to fraudulently divert government travel funds to their own bank accounts by means of electronic transfers. The indictments further allege that Ogiste defrauded the United States out of approximately $23,000, and Bowman defrauded the United States out of approximately $19,000.
Prior to these indictments, three other individuals were charged in similar schemes to defraud the United States of travel funds. Donald K. Duru, Quentin L. Posey, and Tyrone J. Sharpe, II, all have already been charged and found guilty of theft of government property in this ongoing fraud investigation.
Donald K. Duru, 28, formerly an active duty Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., pled guilty on September 29, 2011 before United States District Judge Raymond A. Jackson and will be sentenced on January 11, 2012. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and nearly $70,000 in restitution.
Quentin L. Posey, formerly a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps assigned to Camp Lejeune, pled guilty to theft of government property on June 9, 2011. Posey was sentenced on October 4, 2011, to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $139,444.85 in restitution.
Tyrone J. Sharpe, formerly a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps and assigned to Camp Lejeune, pled guilty on June 9, 2011. Sharpe was sentenced on October 4, 2011, to five months in prison, seven months home confinement, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $39,234.10.
This case was investigated by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Naval Audit Service. Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Kosky is prosecuting the cases on behalf of the United States.
Criminal indictments are only charges and not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The Alchemyst (The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott
Sophie and Josh Newman are twins who work down the same street for their summer jobs. Sophie works at the coffee shop while Josh works at the book store owned by Nicholas Flamel. Everything is going smoothly until a Dr. John Dee shows up and starts to destroy the book store looking for a lost codex that Nicholas is in possession of. This is when Josh and Sophie's world is turned upside down, learning that magic is real, the mythologies of the world are real, and they are mentioned in the book as the twins that can either save the world or destroy it. This leads the twins in an adventure were they encounter mythical beasts and people that were only thought of as stories, while trying to avoid Dr. John Dee who is serving the Dark Elders set on destroying the world. This was a really, really good book. I am a big fan of mythology and did not know that this book would even have the different gods of mythology, so it made it that much better. Anyone who likes Percy Jackson or similar titles is sure to enjoy this book.

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / 2008 / New Information Center Opens at Revamped Satellite City Hall |
NEW Mayor Mufi Hannemann today unveiled the City's first Information Center, a unique facility set up at the newly renovated Ala Moana Center Satellite City Hall. Housed in the area formally occupied by the City Store that closed in December 2007, the Information Center features a new information kiosk that allows customers to complete and print forms needed for motor vehicle transactions. Attractive information panels display the exact forms and requirements needed for basic transactions, such as driver licensing and motor vehicle registration renewals, duplicates and ownership transfers. The Information Center also provides free route maps and other important details about TheBus, the City's award-winning public transportation system. "Our goal is always to be customer-friendly, and we know our customers' time is very valuable, so the new Information Center is designed to help people complete their transactions quickly and easily," Mayor Hannemann said today at a dedication ceremony for the facility. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the City's Satellite City Hall program. The Ala Moana satellite opened in 1988 and was the first to offer full-service motor vehicle operations. More than 130,000 transactions were completed at this location last year, making it the City's busiest Satellite City Hall. The cost of the renovation project was approximately $40,000. Much of the project was designed and planned in-house by the City's Design and Construction, Facility Maintenance and Transportation Services departments. The computer and programming of the new information kiosk were supplied by the Department of Information Technology. Project contractors include Richard Reese Designs for graphic design; Fleetstreet Graphics for production and installation; Ultimate Interiors for flooring; Classic Plastic for bus brochure racks; Alexander Brothers Ltd. for the kiosk; and Raymond's Painting for interior decorating. -30- Contact: Eric Kimura, Department of Customer Services - 532-7744. |

Good Points: - noisy as hell, the built-in fuzz is destructive!
Bad Points: - danelectro pedals aren't quite as robust as, say, boss pedals
Good Points: Disgusting fuzz/squeal
Bad Points: Plastic. Wah Sucks.
Good Points: Sounds remarkably good, very musical tone. Does NOT sound like a Crybaby/Vox wah. Quiet sweep. DIRT CHEAP.
Bad Points: Physically bulky. Comes up in weird states when powered on where the fuzz may or may not be on, the wah may or may not be on, etc (maybe this is a good point). Flimsy construction.
Good Points: It says to have six different wahs but some sound pretty much alike, but I'd say there'S still at least 4 different tones you can get out of it. The fuzz can be a nice addition in some chains. I like the car look.
Bad Points: The buttons for wah-bank-switching and fuzz are placed a bit awkward. If you concentrate only on the wah it's no problem, but if you're doing other stuff at the same time, those buttons can get out of reach. The fuzz does not provide enough volume.

Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It was a rough day for Danny Duffy. Fortunately for the Kansas City Royals, Will Smith was terrific.
Smith replaced Duffy in the fourth inning and had a career-high eight strikeouts in a dominant relief performance, helping Kansas City beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Monday.
Smith (2-1) allowed one hit in 4 1/3 innings. He finished with the most strikeouts by a Royals reliever since Tom Gordon struck out eight over 4 2/3 innings against Detroit on July 9, 1993.
"Will was phenomenal, outstanding, great," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Man, what a job he did. It was evident from some of the swings they were taking they just had a real hard time picking up the ball. His pitches had action, deception and location."
While Smith shined, Seattle ace Felix Hernandez lost his fourth consecutive start. The ace right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Hernandez departed after his back cramped up while he was pitching to Alex Gordon.
"The second pitch to Gordon I felt it cramping," Hernandez said. "It's just a cramp. It'll be OK."
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said trainer Rick Griffin told him he did not think it was serious.
Five of Smith's strikeouts took only three pitches. Kyle Seager, who had three of the Mariners' seven hits, doubled off Smith with two out in the seventh, but it was a fly ball that center fielder Jarrod Dyson lost in the sun.
"The slider was working and the curveball, too," Smith said. "It's one of those days where everything was clicking. I just kept putting zeros up."
Greg Holland pitched a one-hit ninth for his 37th save in 39 opportunities.
The Royals scored two runs in the fifth to open a 3-1 lead. Dyson led off with an infield single and advanced to third on Alcides Escobar's hit-and-run single to right. Dyson scored on a wild pitch, and Escobar came home Emilio Bonifacio's sacrifice fly.
"Speed can do a lot," Dyson said.
Hernandez (12-9), who has a 7.84 ERA in his losing streak, struck out Mike Moustakas in the sixth to reach 200 strikeouts for the fifth straight season.
Duffy, who had elbow surgery last year, departed after 3 2/3 innings and 91 pitches. He was charged with one run and five hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
"I didn't have it today," Duffy said.
Seattle got its run when Brad Miller drove in Abraham Almonte with a two-out triple in the fourth.
The Royals tied it on consecutive singles by Eric Hosmer, Billy Butler and Moustakas in the bottom half.
"It was tough luck," Hernandez said. "A lot of ground balls to the outfield, it happens. I commanded the fastball better."
Duffy threw 68 pitches in the first three innings and stranded six runners. He struck out Kendrys Morales and Justin Smoak swinging to end the first with two runners on.
Michael Saunders led off the second with a bunt single and Duffy walked Mike Zunino on nine pitches before retiring the next three batters.
The Mariners went 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners.
Game notes
Zunino was activated from the disabled list after five rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. He went on the disabled list July 26 with a broken left wrist. ... Carlos Pena, whom the Royals signed to a minor league contract last week, went 3 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs as Triple-A Omaha beat Round Rock to clinch the Pacific Coast League North Division championship. ... RHP Erasmo Ramirez will be added to the Mariners' roster Tuesday and start against the Royals. This will be his 10th Seattle start this season and 17th career start.

Research Notes
The Royals will undoubtedly look to their pitching staff to continue their dominance when they face the Mariners tonight. KC has given up just 7 earned runs in its last 7 games, which amounts to a 1.03 ERA in that span (7 ER/61.0 IP). |
Danny Duffy has yielded only three hits in 23 at-bats ending in his off-speed pitches (.130) in his three starts this year. Mariners batters have hit an AL-worst .208 in at-bats ending in off-speed pitches this year. |

The OPV market continues to struggle to get off the ground. The last year has produced a few bright spots—some new investments, some modest performance enhancements, additional demonstration and/or niche product launches, etc.—but the industry still needs a big breakthrough, or at least a clear path toward a larger-area or larger-scale application that can take OPV to the next level commercially.
Unfortunately, the value propositions that have been claimed for OPV in the past continue to get harder and harder to make: OPV's costs are still very high, flexible encapsulation is still a problem, and a big market pull for portable, small-scale charging has not materialized. Meanwhile, development and commercialization of OPV's closest "third generation" competitor, DSC PV, has outpaced that of OPV, and now it looks as though time for OPV may be running out.
In addition, the overall PV industry is currently in chaos, which will affect OPV through decreasing government and investment support, both of which OPV has relied on thus far for its survival. Overall, we believe that the pace of growth in the OPV market will at least partially offset declines, but we also believe that the next two years will be the years in which OPV must finally prove itself in the PV market, both from a technical and cost perspective, or be relegated to permanent "specialty" status and an addressable market of no more than a few megawatts (MW) at best.
In addition, we continue to be surprised by the level of activity in both new investments and new product demonstrations in the OPV industry, especially given that, by our estimates, the market appears to still be years away from really big values, i.e. greater than a billion dollars. So, our skepticism is tempered somewhat by the belief that the OPV industry continues to believe in some long-range value that goes beyond the 2020 timeframe.
The long-range value must be, we think, largely based on larger-area BIPV applications. But, the environment surrounding OPV has gotten more difficult in the last year, and other technologies are already heavily involved in BIPV, like CIGS and DSC PV, so we think OPV firms must move quickly or get left behind.

Overall, MA, VMD, PhD, DACVB, CAAB DVM360 MAGAZINE 123Next My 4-year-old Australian Shepherd rescue, Picasso, is an example of a dog that was inappropriately crated. Pic was kept in a crate for 23 to 24 hours a day, from 8 weeks of age through 10 months (when he was relinquished to rescue). The crate was too small for him, and it likely had poor traction—factors that contributed to his deformed hips and hindlimbs. Now he has monitored freedom and somehow manages to run, but arthridides are in his future, and they did not have to be. Crating is common to us, but it's used less often in other parts of the world. Whether a client uses a crate is an individual choice, but all clients who use them must do so in a humane manner that meets the needs of the dog. How does a crate work? Get off on the right foot: Finding just the right size and introducing a puppy to the crate in just the right manner are two of several things clients must know as they start out the process of housetraining. A crate (a cage or kennel) can be useful with most puppies and can be an essential step in the housetraining process. Small, enclosed areas encourage puppies to develop conscious muscle control to inhibit elimination at inconvenient times. Some puppies immediately feel more secure when they're left alone in a crate with blankets, toys, food, water and, if the crate's large enough, a papered area for urination and defecation. Puppies need big crates if they're going to spend long periods of time in it, but urge your clients to hire a pet sitter to exercise their puppies if they must spend time away from their puppies. Alternatively, veterinarians can offer puppy daycare, which will be helpful to young dogs in many ways. The crate has three main purposes:1. To encourage the puppy to start inhibiting the urge to eliminate. 2. To keep the puppy safe from all disasters—from electric cords to toxic substances lurking in the home. 3. To keep the humans sane when the puppy is too rambunctious. Puppies are rambunctious. They need an aerobic outlet for all that energy. The crate is not meant to keep them incarcerated or to substitute for aerobic exercise. Clients need to know they can't keep puppies in crates eight to 10 hours a day as a way of mitigating their energetic and aerobic needs. If clients need a pet that can be kept caged for most of his or her young life, please encourage them to consider a gerbil. 123Next Related linksCanine housetraining, Part 1: Human and age-appropriate strategiesCanine housetraining, Part 3: Elimination training tipsCanine housetraining, Part 4: FAQs from clientsCanine housetraining challengesMore articles by Dr. Karen Overall Hot topics on dvm360Veterinarians: Your clients are going to Google with these cat questions Feb 24, 2015Vetcetera: The complex topic of canine fear-related aggression Dec 07, 2014Reality TV and the veterinarian: Discussing mainstream dog training advice with clients Dec 07, 2014Blog: Election results pose obstacles for veterinary prescription law Nov 10, 20147 steps to a better relationship between veterinarians and rescue groups Nov 01, 2014|More|

Faraday Cage
Name: Sophia Status: student Grade: 6-8 Country: USA Date: Winter 2011-2012
I am making an experiment about what needs to happen for my cell phone not to ring inside a box or enclosure. I want to use it for a science project. My mom helped me research that aluminum foil works if I cover the phone with no air spaces left (it rings if I open the foil a little bit). I looked on the Internet and I found out that metal wire mesh also works. So I am realizing that air is not an issue. Does it have something to do with the air hole not being bigger than the electromagnetic wave height? Do different air holes (round openings) let different waves through? How small do round air holes or air squares (if a mesh) have to be to cover all the different waves from radio to gamma? What are the most a hole can be by wave type?
Sophia, Wavelength is the greatest concern. Even with solid foil, a tiny bit of signal might get through, but not enough to be noticed at all. As the holes get bigger, just a little more signal gets through. As the holes get close to the wavelength, the signal becomes noticeable. When the holes are larger than the wavelength, most of the signal gets through. Find the wavelength of your cellphone. Keep your holes somewhat smaller, perhaps a diameter of ten or twenty percent of that wavelength.
Dr. Ken Mellendorf Physics Instructor Illinois Central College
Metals do block electromagnetic radiation. How effective the metal is depends the metal, the wavelength of the radiation, and the direction of the radiation.
Look at your microwave oven. Notice the window has a wire mesh screen. These fairly large holes are possible because the wavelength of microwaves are Very long compared to the size of the holes. The shorter the wavelength of the radiation, the smaller the holes have to be. You can observe a similar effect if you are in a car that goes under a metal overpass.

The reigning Tour de France champion Chris Froome gave his support to the first ever volunteer force to accompany a Grand Départ and urged more people nationally to sign up.
The Team Sky rider, who will start the defence of his yellow jersey in Leeds on 5th July, said: "I'd say to everyone 'come and become part of it'. The Tour is like a big carnival and this is your chance. It's really exciting that the race is coming to the UK and to be a part of it will be amazing – it's your Tour!"
Froome's support follows that of the Deputy Prime Minister Rt Hon Nick Clegg who helped launch the partnership with Yorkshire-based supermarket giant ASDA to recruit, train and provide bespoke uniforms for the final 10,000 Tour Maker volunteers.
Rt Hon Nick Clegg, said: "You can already sense the buzz and excitement right across the country as we get ever closer to Yorkshire's Grand Départ – and the launch of the Tour Makers and the public's response to it already is evidence of that. I would urge anyone interested in this scheme to put their names forward now. The eyes of the world will be on Yorkshire when the peloton sets off from Leeds and spends two days racing around the county before finishing in Sheffield, and then racing from Cambridge to London. It promises to be an historic, spectacular event and really cements our nation as a global sporting leader."
Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire – which led the winning bid to bring the Tour de France to the UK – said: "To have a legend like Chris get behind our Tour Makers scheme is nothing short of inspirational to us and everyone involved. The time is now to step forward for those who want to be part of one of the biggest sporting events in living memory in Yorkshire and our country."
Stephen Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at Asda, said: "To have Chris' backing and encouragement for people to get involved is incredible and what a catalyst for people to sign up. We are proud of our Yorkshire roots and honoured Asda is to be involved in this first for the Tour de France and we can't wait to get started."
Tour Makers' roles could include lining the route, welcoming visitors and supporting the emergency and National Parks services.
Tour Maker volunteers are being sought nationwide to cover all three UK stages of the race. The Yorkshire Grand Départ will race from Leeds to Harrogate on July 5, York to Sheffield on July 6, and a third stage will race from Cambridge to the capital London on July 7.
Anyone interested in volunteering for any of the stage three of the race can still register at www.letouryorkshire.com/volunteer before 20 January 2014.

PHOENIX -- There were some afternoon thundershowers around metro Phoenix on Labor Day. There is a slight chance that activity will continue Monday night.
Moisture levels are high and it looks like we'll have an up and down week as far as the monsoon goes.
The forecast is very uncertain. Even with increasing chances on Tuesday, that doesn't mean much this season, does it?
Tuesday we expect only a slight chance for thunderstorms and a high around 105 for metro Phoenix. However, on Tuesday the chance for rain goes up a bit.
Here's part of the discussion from the National Weather Service in Phoenix:
Most of the convective potential Monday will likely be focused over portions of southeast CA and the Colorado River Valley...as accelerating upper level southerly winds flow into an increasing jet max over eastern Nevada. In other words...entrance region dynamics is expected over southeast CA.
The highest rain chances will be in that region. Ditto on Tuesday. The remainder of the forecast area...southwest and south central AZ will be devoid of any upper level support...therefore a slight chance of heat of the day showers and thunderstorms will exist...with somewhat higher probabilities in the mountains of southern Gila county.
Also on Tuesday...an inverted trough is forecast to move into southeast AZ from west Texas by evening. Therefore we have decided to go with a higher rain chances over portions of south central AZ...including the deserts around Phoenix and Casa Grande.
Models forecast the inverted trough may also support a few nocturnal showers and thunderstorms over south central AZ into Wednesday morning.

The end of the performance and dinner. We did not want to walk out during the show. |
My 2nd time to introduce a friend to the food and experience. My previous visit was on a Sunday with 7 friends, which I think is a much better show. Our server/dancer was not friendly or personable as was my 1st experience. The food which was very, very good the first time was extremely disappointing. The lamb was so salty it was inedible. We were seated on the side of the bar that does not have stools. 75% of the show was views of the dancers butts. I was very embarrassed because I had hyped the food and show to the extreme. |

FBI in the process of creating a system for monitoring all conversations on social networking sites
skg | Mar 10, 2012 | Comments 0 |
Saturday, March 10, 2012 by: J. D. Heyes
The latest onslaught comes from the FBI, which is only the most recent federal agency seeking to monitor all of your conversations on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
The bureau has placed a request from tech firms to develop a program that would enable agents to sift through waves of "publicly available" information, ostensibly to look for keywords related to terrorism, criminal activity and other threats to national security.
'Early warning' system?
The goal, according to the bureau's request, is to develop a sort of early warning system that provides real-time intelligence to improve "the FBI's overall situational awareness." The proposed program must "have the ability to rapidly assemble critical open source information and intelligence that will allow SIOC to quickly vet, identify, and geo-locate breaking events, incidents, and emerging threats."
The FBI joins DARPA – the secretive Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in searching for a program that can "monitor" social media chatter (DARPA, ironically enough, invented the Internet, not Al Gore). The difference there, however, is that the Defense Department and the CIA focus on threats overseas; the FBI, meanwhile, is a domestic law enforcement apparatus, and as such, subject to constitutional restrictions regarding the development of its cases.
A work-around?
In defending its request for the development of a social media monitoring program, the FBI emphasized its focus on the "publicly available" information – the same information that is accessible to marketers and advertisers.
To get around that, social media companies like Facebook and Twitter may be able to exempt themselves from the monitoring by making their posts private, says Jennifer Lynch, an attorney with the San Francisco-based Electronic Freedom Foundation. Beyond that, she adds, the U.S. government's growing desire to monitor everyone is likely to have dire consequences for privacy and other civil liberties.
In an interview with the New Scientist, Lynch says most people post to their Facebook or Twitter accounts in the expectation that only their friends and followers are reading, which gives them "the sense of freedom to say what they want without worrying too much about recourse."
"But these tools that mine open source data and presumably store it for a very long time do away with that kind of privacy. I worry about the effect of that on free speech in the U.S.," she added.
More government monitoring
As the FBI looks for its program, what many Americans may not know is that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is already engaged in domestic monitoring of social media Web sites. In fact, DHS even has an operating procedure manual for the program.
Earlier, DHS officials had brushed off early suspicions about the program as saying it was "limited to gathering information that would help gain operational awareness about attacks, disasters or other emerging problems," The New York Times reported.
And yet, despite DHS officials' denials, one of the categories that constituted an "item of interest" in the 2011 version of the manual was discussion on social media about "policy directives, debates and implementations related to DHS." When asked, department spokesman Matthew Chandler said that in practice the program was limited to "social media monitoring for situational awareness only."
Ginger McCall, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group that filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to gain access to the department's manual, is skeptical.
"The D.H.S. continues to monitor the Internet for criticism of the government," she told the Times. "This suspicionless, overbroad monitoring quells legitimate First Amendment activity and exceeds the agency's legal authority."
No doubt.

How much of an impact crater has premium cable made on the movies?
John Krokidas is director of nourish Kill Your Darlings – about a real-life '40s murder and same-sex menage a trois that connected then college-age "Beat" darlings Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. He had his revelation while looking at the movie poster.
"As I look at it, I realize that HBO is responsible for 80 per cent of my cast," Krokidas told us in a TIFF interview. Bona fide movie star Daniel Radcliffe is the lead as Ginsberg. "But Jack Huston (Kerouac)? Boardwalk Empire. Ben Foster (Burroughs)? Six Feet Under. Michael C. Hall? Six Feet Under. (And, we must add, Dexter). Dane Dehaan? True Blood. Who knew?"
"Being a television nerd finally paid off, I guess. It gives me an advantage when it comes to casting actors."

Asia-Europe Environment Forum (ENVforum)
The Asia-Europe Environment Forum (ENVforum) established in 2003, aims to foster inter-regional cooperation between Europe and Asia on sustainable development and its environmental dimensions. Acting both as a facilitator and bottom-up promoter of wide-ranging initiatives, the ENVforum provides the ideal platform for knowledge-sharing, capacity building and provider of up-to-date information for policy makers and partner organizations on environmental themes. Ultimately, the forum strives to meaningfully contribute to the formulation of sound political decisions that are mindful of their environmental impact.
The ENVforum welcomes ideas and contributions from all walks of life, whether professional, academic, business or hatching from civil society.
Our Partners
The ENVforum is a partnership of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF); ASEM SMEs Eco-Innovation Center (ASEIC); Swedish International Development Agency (Sida); Hanns Seidel Foundation Indonesia (HSF); Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
10-Year Anniversary
In 2013, the ENVforum celebrated its 10th year anniversary. Since 2003, the ENVforum has conducted over 50 high-level international meetings, roundtables, conferences and workshops. It has brought together over 1200 selected participants from government, ministries, academia, international organizations, NGOs and civil society.
In 2012 it directly participated to the Rio+20 Conference in Brazil contributing its newly published report: "Global Architectures for Sustainable Development Delivery- Asia-Europe Strategies for the 'Rio+20' Earth Summit 2012". This publication examines proposals on how to reform international environmental governance frameworks for sustainable development (IFSD) and advises on European-Asian strategies for sustainable development.
ENVforum's 2013-2015 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Today, the ENVforum is actively engaged in the global debate over the future set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its decade-long focus on environmental issues allows it to meaningfully contribute to the wide-ranging effort to supply Asian and European countries with a plan for sustainable development to be enacted when the Millennium Development Goals expire in 2015. In this context, the ENVforum's goal is to contribute to the Asian-European bottom-up process that supports the creation of SDGs as decided during the Rio+20 Conference. Facilitation of knowledge-sharing amongst ASEM member states is an ENVforum priority.
The period from now to 2015 will also feature a strengthening of ENVforum's training component, going beyond the traditional presentation format. Interactive simulations and problem-solving workshops with a strong participatory element on the model of the recent 2013 "Workshop on Sustainable Development Goals and Training for ASEAN Member States" which included a negotiation simulation on SDGs amongst representatives of ASEAN diplomats, Ministries of the Environment and international experts, help to cement and test the knowledge base of participants amplifying training outcomes.
Publications and Research Output
Here below is a list of prominent publications authored by the ENVforum since 2003.The research output of the ENVforum is freely available for open consultation.
- • "Finding the Path from Johannesburg- Engaging Civil Society in the Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development Outcomes"; 2003.
• "Technology Partnerships for Renewables: Key to Energy Security"; Presented at the 3rd Roundtable in Stockholm, Sweden August 2004.
• "Reinforcing Asia-Europe Co-operation on Climate Change- Proceeding of the Asia-Europe Environment Forum Second Roundtable"; Jeju – Republic of Korea, March 2004.
• "The Jakarta 12 Asia-Europe Agendas for Sustainable Development"- Summary of Proceedings of the Asia-Europe Environment Forum Conference'1/3 of Our Planet: What Can Asia and Europe do for Sustainable Development'; Jakarta- Indonesia, November 2005.
• "Combine or Combust! Co-operating on Chemicals and Hazardous Substances management"; presented at the Asia-Europe Environment Forum 4th Roundtable; Brussels Belgium December 2006.
• "A Green Future- Asia and Europe Growing Sustainability"- Proceedings of the ENVforum Conference in Munich, Germany; September 2010.
• "Global Architectures for Sustainable Development Delivery" presented at the 2012 Rio+20 Summit in Brazil.
Recently, the ENVforum has published the "Sustainable Development Goals and Indicators for a Small Planet - Part 1: Methodology and Goal Framework". A group of eminent international experts have been commissioned to develop a recommended set of SDGs priorities for ASEM countries. The study takes on innovative methodologies for selecting areas of focus and priorities by reconciling national needs with regional objectives. In order to monitor improvements a parallel set of indicators have also been developed. By measuring progress in implementation, these indicators are able to provide policymakers with reliable statistical data to identify programs of low effectiveness and promptly correct potential operational faults. An interim version of the "Small Planet" report was presented on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the ENVforum in Korea, during the conference on "Green Growth and Sustainable Development Goals: A Development Agenda for 2015" which took place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on 4-5 November 2013.
About the ENVforum
ASEM countries represent 52% of the world's GDP, almost 60% of the world's population and 68% of Global trade. Given the size and further expansion of ASEM, it is evident that deepened Asia-Europe cooperation is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Interregional collaboration on issues of sustainable development and the environment is crucial in meeting challenges of global magnitude that cannot be solves solely at the national level.
The ASEM 7 Meeting in Beijing (2007) Chairman Statement reads:
"Leaders stressed the need to focus on development needs and environmental sustainability in the energy sector. They emphasized the need for Asia-Europe cooperation to ensure the availability of environmentally sound energy at a reasonable price to support economic growth and […] recognized the need to develop regional and sub-regional projects amongst ASEM partners." |
The ENVforum answers the ASEM leaders' call. As a multi-stakeholder forum it embraces diversity of opinion and provides a locus where Europe and Asia can meet to discuss salient environmental policy issues of the day.
