Blatant censorship is one thing. But who controls the controllers?
Blatant censorship is one thing, and can be fought. But who controls the controllers? What about the more subtle forms of control and blockages, that often can work in the more brutal ways of the unseen hand? APC member-organisation RITS's Carlos Afonso, made this point articulatedly at the Internet Governance Forum in Athens. Afonso underlined that it was difficult to deal internet-related issues "without considering the situation of regulation, legislation and control of the network itself." He questioned the view that "the technical question is not as relevant as the other issues." What is the responsibility of network operators? Controlling players decide if voice over IP traffic can pass through an exchange point or not.

Samsung Galaxy S III: Can 'the best Android' phone pull off a sequel?
(Read article summary)The Samsung Galaxy S III will launch later this year, Samsung reps said in a statement.
In February of last year, Samsung released the Galaxy S II, a handset armed with the Android Gingerbread OS, a 1.2 GHz dual-core chip, and a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen. Critics loved it. Writing in Engadget, Vlad Savov identified the Galaxy S II as "the best Android smartphone yet." More important, Savov added, "it might well be the best smartphone, period."
Now comes news that the Samsung Galaxy S III will be released later this year – not at the Mobile World Congress, as had originally been rumored, but at a corporate event staged by Samsung.

Awesome 89%xljr We staid 3 nights (a french familly with two adults and 2 teens). If the room was surprising for us (4 single beds the same room) and the bathroom rather small, the studio was very clean. We had bread, butter, jam, tea bags and coffee every morning in a little basket. You can find a grocery, fruits and bars or restaurants, close to Athens studio. The place is very close to the Acropolis et the tube. The teams of Athens Studio & Backpackers (they have an alliance) were very friendly and gave usefull answers or help at any demand. At Backpackers, you can use a computer. An advice : take the tram to go to the beaches. Xavier et Laurence

Saranac Lake Members of the North Elba Town Board Tuesday, Sept. 11 decided to send a strong message to the state of New York: Tear up the railroad tracks.
Although the vote was close at 3-2, all board members agreed that the town's priority is a recreational path between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.
"Whether the tracks are there or not, we're building a bike path to Saranac Lake," said Councilman Jack Favro at the board's meeting at the North Elba Town House in Saranac Lake.
"Well said," added Councilman Jay Rand.
For months, proponents and opponents of the railroad tracks have lobbied local governments to choose a side. Town and village officials have been asked to back either the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA), favoring removal of the tracks from Lake Placid to Old Forge and the creation of the Great Adirondack Recreation Path, or the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society (ARPS) and its allies, favoring restoration of the tracks and rail service along the 90-mile corridor.
"It's certainly an emotional topic," said North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi.
Bolstered by comments from Gov. Andrew Cuomo during a recent trip to Keene, Councilman Bob Miller presented a resolution to the board that essentially said the state should remove the railroad tracks in the town of North Elba. Most of the tracks between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake — used during the summer by the ARPS-operated Adirondack Scenic Railroad for tourist excursions — are located within the town.
"My thinking is we need to tell the governor what we want," Miller said.
When Cuomo was in Keene on Aug. 29 to deliver $640,000 for a new firehouse, an Adirondack Daily Enterprise reporter asked him about the controversial issue. The governor said the decision should come from the region, not the state, meaning the North Country Regional Economic Development Council that was formed in 2011.

Great sex does more than blow your mind—it's good for your heart, your head and your beauty.
New relationships are so thrilling because your world expands quickly as you experience your new love's taste and pastimes.
And with anyone, after you've been together a while, the pace slows down. Routine is soothing, yet over time couples grow apart if they're bored together. When Arthur Aron, Ph.D., a psychologist at State University of New York, Stony Brook, looked at data for 123 couples in their seventh year of marriage, if either spouse thought the marriage was "in a rut," one or both spouses were more likely to be a lot less happy with the marriage nine years later.
QUIZ: Are You Sexually Satisfied?
To avoid that fate, Aron has simple advice: "Do something exciting or different frequently. My wife and I might stop in a bar and hang out, because we haven't done that for years."
A hot date is whatever is hot for the two of you. Your goal is to expand your world again, the way you did when your love was new. Odd as it may sound, one surprising secret is to break the "just us" barrier, letting in other people who will reveal you and your mate to each other in a new light.
Studies show that something as simple as hanging out or going on double dates with other couples can increase attraction and improve your bond with each other.
MORE: Foods to Increase Your Libido
Or, try one of these five creative ways to break the "just us" barrier:
1. Play Parent
Parenting is a lot easier when your responsibility is only temporary. Take a niece or nephew or a friend's child on a suitable activity and chances are you'll be charmed by your hubby's fatherly side—seeing him with a little hand in his. A happy child will make the two of you play—and give you fresh appreciation of a circus or zoo. I had been dating my man for over a decade when we had one of our best dates ever: a middle-school basketball game. I went to cheer on a student I was mentoring that year. He was hooting and hollering at my side each time her team scored.
2. Dance
In Jane Austen's time, ladies at a dance glided from one gentleman to the other in a stately procession. It wasn't the least bit boring. Traditional dances were basically the first speed-dating.
Nowadays, you can still find "contra" dancing in most big cities, or the American variation, square-dancing. As you flirt your way down the line, from the corner of your eye observe your mate briefly paired off with others. Catch him watching you. You'll both become better dancers. And once you're back in each other's arms, you just might feel a rush of gratitude and remember how glad you were when you first found him.
Unlike tricky dances like swing and tango, line-dancing is easy enough to do without taking a class. The "caller" tells you what to do.
If you prefer free-for-alls to processions, skip ahead from 1792 to 1972 and try "contact improvisation," which grew out of performances that year by Steve Paxton, a modern dancer with a background in tumbling and martial arts. This kind of dance is a little like Twister: you find one point of contact with another person—maybe you touch elbows, or the back of your heads. But it's improv—you keep exploring spontaneously. People lean on each other, engage in play-fights and roll around on the floor, in ever-changing duos and some triplets and pile-ups.
Although many contact improvisers are serious dancers, "jams" across the country are welcoming to the inexperienced. All parties remain clothed and people avoid touching personal parts. Be creative. Make triplets with imaginative dancers and the two of you will find yourself in odd new shapes together.
MORE: When and Why to Breakup with Someone
Along those lines, some couples make it a goal for the evening to "pick up" a new friend—at a bar or on a movie line, or wherever opportunity arises. The object of your attention could be solo or a couple. No need to take a stranger home. Flirting is its own reward, and experiencing your team charm power could transform your night when you get home.
