HoopsHype Terrence Ross rumors
Ryan Wolstat: Colangelo said he sees a lot of Michael Finley in Ross. Said Calderon knows there is chance he could be amnestied but is a total pro ... Twitter
Ken Berger: No trade at No. 8 for Raptors, who will keep Ross, a 6-7 swingman from Washington. Pick shakes up the lottery a bit. Twitter
Players the Mavericks are considering at No. 17 are North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall, Baylor power forward Perry Jones III, Washington shooting guard Terrence Ross, Kentucky small forward Terrence Jones, Mississippi State power forward Arnett Moultrie and Baylor small forward Quincy Miller. Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Mary Schmitt Boyer/Tom Reed: Confirmed reports of Terrence Ross coming in to work out for #Cavs. Also hearing Dion Waiters is rising. But No. 4 is too high for either. Twitter
Chad Ford: Terrence Ross in Cleveland for last minute workout tomorrow. He's not in mix at 4. He's not on board at 24. Interesting. He is a good fit. Twitter
Will the Bucks use the No. 12 pick in Thursday's draft to get that young, athletic shooting guard to complement Ellis and point guard Brandon Jennings? It's certainly possible. The seriousness of the Bucks' search was revealed Tuesday as two of the elite shooting guard prospects visited the Cousins Center - Washington sophomore Terrence Ross and Connecticut sophomore Jeremy Lamb Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Charles F. Gardner: Terrence Ross is headliner of Bucks workout today - one of top shooting guard prospects in draft. Also Ryan Allen of UWM works out again. Twitter
However, Lamb went into Phoenix this weekend and toughed out a workout on the bad ankle. A source in Phoenix told me the Suns were impressed with his toughness and willingness to fight through the workout. His performance there could keep him in the lottery. If Lamb is gone, Terrence Ross, Dion Waiters and Austin Rivers are all possibilities here. So is Arnett Moultrie. ESPN.com
For instance, Terrence Ross could fall into the teens and end up better than Bradley Beal. Moe Harkless is not a lock for the top 20 and he could end up better than Harrison Barnes. Perry Jones and Jared Sullinger each came into the season projected as possible top 5 picks and both could slip out of the top 20, and Sullinger was left out of the green room invites. NBADraft.net
Dion Waiters is a strong possibility to become the third guard behind Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson as Golden State hopes Curry ditches the ankle injuries once and for all after they ruined his 2011-12. Oakland product Damian Lillard would be considered as well, but may not get there with the Blazers at No. 6 and needing a point guard. Terrence Ross is also in the mix, the Bay Area News Group reports. NBA.com
Washington wing Terrence Ross was supposed to work out for the Warriors on Sunday, and when he didn't, it started speculation about a draft promise. He last worked out for Portland, which selects No. 6 -- a spot ahead of the Warriors. Turns out, Ross simply has a sprained ankle and couldn't practice against St. John's Moe Harkless on Sunday. Sulia
Ryan Blake, the senior director of NBA scouting operations, said five players whom the Mavs could consider at No. 17 include Washington shooting guard Terrence Ross, Mississippi State power forward Arnett Moultrie, St. John's small forward Moe Harkless, Illinois center Meyers Leonard and North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall. Blake, however, believes Jones will be long gone before the Mavs make their first selection. Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Here is a couple name to throw into the mix for the No. 7 pick: Syracuse SG Dion Waiters and Washington SG/SF Terrence Ross. According to sources, Waiters is high on the Warriors' draft board. The 6-foot-4, 221-pound guard has impressed several teams and appears to be one of the hot names. He impresses the Warriors because of his ability to score, create offense and also play point guard. He's got good size for a point guard. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said Waiters' game reminds him of Dwayne Wade. Contra Costa Times
The Trail Blazers' draft workout Wednesday was star-studded, with five of the six players projected as first-round picks. The workout probably meant the most to Terrence Ross, a Portland native who entered the draft after two years at the University of Washington. "It's surreal, you know?" Ross said. "I can't believe it. It's hard to take in even now." Oregonian
"The biggest thing about it is not having to stay in the hotel," Ross said. "I can just stay at home. That was a big part. All my family seeing me before I get to work out for the Blazers, that's like a dream." Oregonian
There are also six players who are all projected to be picked in the area where the Bucks are drafting that probably won't travel to Milwaukee before the draft. They are Duke combo guard Austin Rivers, Washington shooting guard Terrence Ross, Syracuse combo guard Dion Waiters, Connecticut shooting guard Jeremy Lamb, Weber State point guard Damion Lillard and Ohio State power forward Jared Sullinger. Racine Journal-Times
Terrence Ross could be an option. Ross averaged 16.4 points and shot 37.1 percent from 3-point range while earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors as a sophomore at the University of Washington. He averaged 25 points in the Pac-12 champion Huskies' four-game run to the NIT semifinals. "I think I can provide some shooting ability (by making) some 3s, midrange (jumpers), pull-ups and score down low," Ross said. "I think that's something they need help with. I think I'd be a perfect fit." phillyburbs.com
Tom Moore: #Sixers Courtney Witte on Terrence Ross: "He's a very skilled, multi-dimensional playwer. He's got a big upside to him." Twitter
Tom Moore: #Sixers Courtney Witte on Terrence Ross from Washington: "He's a shooter and a scorer. He's going to have a long-time NBA career.". Twitter

Writer: guinless
Date:Saturday October 1 2011
Time: 1:48PM
Earlier this week a message was circulated around the various Nottingham Forest forums, stating that a group of supporters were organising a protest, to highlight 12 years of mismanagement at the club. It called on those supporters who felt the need for change had come, to assemble outside the club shop at 1.30pm ahead of the match with Birmingham City, to voice their concerns to the club. Whether that is the best place for a protest or not is debatable, but some fans have definitely had enough and will be demanding that changes have to be made.
There are a multitude of issues that are cause for concern amongst a large number of the Nottingham Forest supporter base at present and this has given rise to uncertainty about what fans are actually up in arms about and what direction or purpose any protest would serve. Whether those concerns lie with the management, players, coaching staff, or the board, the one overriding fact and inescapable truth amidst the current disharmony inside and outside the club, is that the vast majority of fans want to see the immediate resignation, or sacking of the clubs` CEO Mark Arthur.
Not every Forest fan will be in favour of protesting and there are some who will see it as detrimental to the players on the pitch, or have a negative effect on the club. I can`t speak for anyone else, but I do believe there is a sizeable section of the fanbase who have seen enough over the past 12 years under the chairmanship of Nigel Doughty, to have come to the opinion that enough is enough. To those supporters who feel any protest is futile, I`d say fair enough, don`t take part. To those supporters that feel the time is right for change, I say stand up and be counted and to make your voice heard. I would never question the fact Nigel Doughty is a fan of the club, or that his intentions have been nothing less than good, but from the day he took control, the decline and demise of NFFC has only got steadily and progressively worse.
When Nigel Doughty took control of the club in 2002, his stated aim and ambition, was to make the club self sufficient and to achieve and retain Premiership status. Far from achieving either of those goals, the club has seen the debt to the chairman rise to a staggering £100m (according to Mark Arthur) in the 12 years he has been in charge, as well as spending 3 tortuous years in League 1. For such a high level of investment, it's turned to nothing less than a spectacular level of failure. In all that time, 11 managers have come and gone, each one being blamed for furthering the decline of the club. The one constant during all that time and the person ultimately responsible has to be the CEO, under the instruction and guidance of the chairman. As CEO, Mark Arthur is in charge of the day to day running of the club and as such, he controls the finances and he has the final say on who comes and goes from the club. He is the public face of NFFC and is responsible for the current unrest. He is also the man who ultimately takes the flak when anything goes wrong. Whilst the buck should land with Nigel Doughty, he is the man allowing Mark Arthur to throw his money out of the window. Nigel Doughty, whether we like it or not, is also the man we have to thank for merely keeping us in existence. Whilst I would personally like to see him seek alternative investment and to relinquish control of the club, he is the one who owns the club and he is the only one that can implement change.
In the past week, the club has shown itself to be a complete and utter shambles both on and off the pitch. The 5-1 drubbing dished out by Burnley on Tuesday night, was eclipsed with the resignation of Football Consultant David Pleat, the removal from his post of Sports Psychologist Bill Beswick and further threats from the manager Steve McClaren, to stand down if matters do not improve. It is my sincere and honest opinion that there is alot wrong with our club and that the time to tell the club we want action is now. It`s long overdue. We can stand by and trust Mark Arthur to back the manager as he promised he would and we can stand by and trust him to sort the troubles out. The history from his 10 years at the club suggests that neither will happen unless supporters stand up and demand that changes are made. Nigel Doughty will do well to listen to those supporters voicing concerns, otherwise the numbers of those opting to vote with their feet and stay away from the ground are only going to grow. Relieving Mark Arthur of his duties, will go a long way to bringing discontented fans back on board and finally give the club a chance to move forward and progress. If the future for NFFC means we have to make further financial cutbacks, then as chairman, Nigel Doughty needs to tell us that, but more importantly, he also needs to tell the manager as well.
The future for NFFC unless changes are made is very bleak. We have seen it before and should learn from mistakes made in the past. We can stand by and do nothing, or we can stand up and be counted and let the club know we are not happy with how it`s being run. For those that don`t want to protest....don`t. But for those that do, then turn up and make your voice heard. Above all else. Make sure it is peaceful. Any disorder will make protesting meaningless. Whilst I`m not organising the protest, I am 100% in support of it and would urge any Forest fan who feels the same to do so.

Which one would you name your character and why?
Sora, Reef, Astro, Bonk.
Which one would you name your character and why?
Sora, Reef, Astro, Bonk.
Probably the first (for a female character), because I don't like choosing names that are "real" (Reef, Astro) or sound silly (Bonk).
feels very plain and seems like it is what it is.
Too many players are already called Sora, probably the same for Astro and anyway i don't like it, i don't like bonk too since it seems ridiculous to me. Reef seems to be the best, even if i don't like it too.
I would prefer Astrum which mean Star in ancient greek.
Make up a better damn name than those..<.<(no offence.)
Howay the lads!
Call him bonk and make guild called "the atomic punch".
Sora is the best out of those imo.
I dont like any of them but if I was forced, I would choose Reef.
There is only one god and his name is Sargeras.
They all sound bad to me, if I had to choose i'd just roll a dice or something. Then pay £15 to rename myself.

Customer Reviews of Uncle Milton Radio Control Tarantula
Lots of Laughs.. Good quality3/24/2013
Scared the Admin Ast. twice! Must be on a hard surface. I would not recommend for little kids. Great for occasional scares but not durable for a pounding. Works well.
Fun Stuff!3/21/2013
It's a fun toy.
Very realistic3/21/2013
Moves kind of slowly but was realistic enough to fool our dog.
Radio control tarantula3/15/2013
The remote has a very short range of only about TEN ft. Seems okay other than that.
Works as described2/4/2013
Did not take the cats long to figure out as long as they stayed on the edge of the carpet, it could not "get" them. :)
Fun with people who hate spiders12/15/2012
The eyes glow when it's switched on. A couple of the legs appear to move, but it's driven by a small wheel. It's steered by a small wheel as well.
Big Hit!8/21/2012
My nephew loved it and it was a BIG SCARE for the family reunion he took it too. Fun toy, works great and looks pretty realistic!
Opened the package installed the batteries and proceeded to drive the Cats wild.
Looks real. Doesn't move as fast as I expected but still my Grandson loves it.
Only for hard floors6/15/2012
Bought this for my 5-year-old son. He liked it when he first got it, but quickly forgot about it. The product has two drawbacks. Will not work on carpet and only turns in one direction.
Trick or Treaters beware5/22/2012
Purchased remote control tarantula to use at Haloween. Looks great and the remote control ability will help surprise Trick or Treaters.
Funny toy for kids!5/21/2012
Nice and funny toy for kids and pets.
Great Spider!5/21/2012
Excellante toy. The cat loves it and it works great. What a price. I am ordering 2 more for Halloween
Remote spider5/15/2012
I purchased this because one of my Daughter-in-laws is afraid of spiders and I planned to surprise her. The surprise was not as complete as I would have liked but the product performed well and was delivered quickly and for a good price.
Fun toy to scare the wits out of people - and the dogs get flipped out too. Lots of Laughs.
Great Tarantula;)5/11/2012
I bought this to scare my wife and I did it - she was scared but she didn't cry so I was safe;)
Don't believe the features!5/11/2012
False features.Remote looks nothing like the one in the picture and just plain texture,no furry texture
My grandson loved this.
Fun to watch reaction from pets12/30/2011
I got this as a gift for my father who has a cat and a small dog. It was a lot of fun to see the reaction from the animals. It's also great for scaring people although it's much too large to look real (9" x 11") and it has a loud, mechanical sound when it moves. Don't expect a lot of fine control from the remote--you get "go straight forward" and "turn while backing up". I only witnessed nipping from the dog and light pawing from the cat but I imagine this toy is not very durable. A rough child would destroy a couple of legs in less than 5 minutes. Note that batteries are NOT included and it requires 2 AA batteries for the remote and 2 AAA batteries for the spider.
Frightul looking, but cheaply made and loud9/30/2011
If you saw this spider moving in a silent film, you may be fooled into thinking it was real. However, in person, the motor is loud and the wheel that makes it move grates against the floor creating a lot of noise. So, in real life, you're not going to sneak up on anyone. Also, it sheds a lot of hair. Any time you touch it, your hand is covered in the tiny red and black hairs. After a few weeks of my kids playing with it, I'm sure there will be bald spots.
Works great and scary. Only thing is the controller is different in the box then what is shown in the ad. The ad shows 4 buttons and the one I got has 2 buttons. Hmm..
Scared my son5/2/2011
The motors make enough noise that I had to put it on the porch with the door closed. He totally freaked when it started moving, I had to stop the prank because he was losing it!
Not for the scary cats out there.12/6/2008
I bought it for my husband who is 77 and he loved playing with it. Since he can't play with the real ones we have at home. It looks so real.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

WASHINGTON (October 2, 2014) – The U.S. economy is best understood as a constantly evolving system. Unfortunately, the two major economic doctrines that guide U.S. policymakers' thinking—neoclassical economics and neo-Keynesian economics—are rooted in static machine models of the economy and therefore generate flawed policy solutions.
Understanding and Maximizing America's Evolutionary Economy, a new book published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), argues we need a new theoretical foundation for economic policy based on evolutionary economics. The book defines evolutionary economic theory and contrasts it with conventional economics. It then analyzes the three main sources of U.S. economic evolutionary change over the last decade (geographic shifts in production, technological change, and demographic/cultural/governmental change) and assesses their impacts on the economy. It then presents eight key principles that should guide economic policy:
"Economic policy should be focused on accelerating the rate of economic evolution in all parts of the economy, both through strengthening 'Darwinian' evolutionary forces but also supporting 'intelligent design' where smart government policies play an active role in driving innovation and evolution," says Robert Atkinson, President of ITIF and author of the book. "Unfortunately, the United States remains wedded to a strictly Darwinian economic ideology and rejects 'intelligent design' on an almost religious basis. In the new, more competitive and innovation-driven global economy, this is a distinct weakness for America."

ITIF's "Global Mercantilist Index" ranks nations on use of protectionist trade practices
WASHINGTON (September 26, 2014) – Countries' use of mercantilist economic policies have expanded dramatically, particularly in emerging economies. These practices, such as forced technology transfer, currency manipulation, local production as a condition of market access, and weak intellectual property protection, distort trade and investment and damage both the U.S. and global economies.
Unfortunately, to date, there has been no systematic way to identify which nations are engaged in the most egregious mercantilist practices and which most damage the U.S. economy. On Wednesday, October 8 the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) will unveil the Global Mercantilist Index (GMI), which uses a comprehensive model to rank 55 nations in 16 categories to better assess which nations are the most egregious mercantilists and which do the most damage to the U.S. economy and U.S. workers.
In order to more effectively confront mercantilist nations and roll back these policies, the report proposes new policy tools, for both the U.S. government and multilateral institutions, that will better establish a global trade regime based on rules- and market-based trade, while at the same time promoting an innovation-based global economy.
If you would like an embargoed copy of the report please contact ITIF Communications Director William Dube.
The report will be unveiled as part of a panel discussion which will be held from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at ITIF, 1101 K St. NW, Suite 610A. The event will be moderated by Stephen Ezell, Senior Analyst at ITIF and co-author of the Index, and will feature Dorothy Dwoskin, Senior Director for Global Trade Policy at Microsoft, Gina Vetere, former Director of Intellectual Property and Innovation at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and Michelle Wein, a Trade Policy Analyst with ITIF and co-author of the Index.
The event is free, open to the public and complies with ethics rules. It will be webcast live.

WASHINGTON (September 25, 2014) – The U.S. economy is a constantly evolving, complex ecosystem that requires dynamic policy solutions which properly address the rapidly changing environment we face. Unfortunately, the two major economic doctrines that guide U.S. policymakers' thinking—neoclassical economics and neo-Keynesian economics—are rooted in overly simplistic models of how the economy evolves over time and therefore generate flawed policy solutions.
In a new report to be released Thursday October 2, Robert Atkinson, President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) argues we need a new theoretical foundation for economic policy based on evolutionary economics. Understanding and Maximizing America's Evolutionary Economy contrasts an evolutionary economic view with conventional economics, analyzes the three main sources of U.S. economic evolutionary change, and presents eight key principles for an evolutionary economics-inspired economic policy.
The report will be unveiled as part of a panel discussion which will be held from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM at ITIF, 1101 K St. NW, Suite 610A. The event will be moderated by Atkinson and will feature Richard Nelson, Professor of Economics at Columbia University and one of the key innovators of evolutionary economic theory; Eric Beinhocker, Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford; and Michael Lind, Policy Director at the New America Foundation.
The event is free, open to the public and complies with ethics rules. It will be webcast live and lunch will be served.
WASHINGTON (September 25, 2014) – The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) hosted a media call today to discuss Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to the United States. It highlighted the key issues that must be improved upon in order to enhance U.S. – India relations. Panelists included American Enterprise Institute Fellow and Wall Street Journal columnist Sadanand Dhume, ITIF Senior Analyst Stephen Ezell, Patrick Kilbride of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center (GIPC), and Chris Moore of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
"America's relationship with India is critical to our future economic health as well as overall global security and international cooperation," says Ezell. "Prime Minister Modi's visit provides a window to address the trade policy challenges that partnership faces and improve the environment for all parties."While the Modi administration has taken significant steps in the right direction and should be commended for its efforts, a number of intellectual property, trade, and industrial policy issues persist between the U.S. and India. These need to be addressed if the strong economic partnership between the two nations is to advance."Strong IP laws are the key to assuring that any economy remains viable and relevant in the 21st century," notes Kilbride. "While India is working toward bringing its policies in line with international norms, there are certain areas where we must see results sooner rather than later in order to expand our economic and trade relationship." "Turning around a troubled and underperforming trade and investment relationship must be at the top of the agenda when President Obama and Prime Minister Modi meet next week," adds Moore. "Manufacturers are hearing positive things from the Prime Minister and his team, but concrete progress and real results on trade facilitation, tariffs and discriminatory industrial policies are essential. Decisive action in these areas and others can demonstrate to the world that Modi's India is open for business, not business as usual.""Prime Minister Modi's election has created a pivotal moment for India to reshape its influence in the world," says Dhume. "With the U.S. – India relationship, there may not be a better opening for both sides to build upon existing partnerships and move toward a better future."In addition to hosting the constructive conversation about Modi's visit, ITIF also published a progress report on the Modi government's trade and IP policy. "While Modi's election has created significant potential for bettering U.S. – India relations, one question still remains - what can be done to make it a reality?," asks Ezell. "The progress report provides actionable next steps for both governments to follow." Modi will address the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday and will then travel to Washington, DC on September 29. He will return to India on September 30.
**Media Teleconference**
WASHINGTON (September 17, 2014) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election was widely viewed as a positive development in the United States, as the former government's industrial policies, such as forced localization and weak intellectual property rights protections, had made it increasingly challenging for a fair trade relationship with India.
In advance of Prime Minister Modi's visit to the U.S. to meet with President Obama, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) will host a media teleconference at 10:00 AM, Thursday, September 25th to discuss the progress the Modi administration has made to date, the challenges that still remain within the U.S. – India dynamic, and what should be done to ensure a constructive path forward. An expert panel of thought leaders will offer their perspective on the significance of this historic visit and how the two nations can maximize the vast economic potential of our trading relationship.
The panelists will include Sadanand Dhume, Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Wall Street Journal Columnist; Stephen Ezell, Senior Analyst with ITIF; Patrick Kilbride, Executive Director of International Intellectual Property for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center; and Chris Moore, Senior Director for International Business Policy with the the National Association of Manufacturers.

Analyzing the jaw dropping profits that rogue websites make by stealing creative content.
WASHINGTON (September 10, 2014) –Digital theft of copyrighted content, has surged as for-profit pirate sites continue making money by illegally distributing movies, music, TV shows and other content. Cyberlockers are among the most profitable content theft sites, but very little research has been conducted to determine how much money they are pocketing by illegally distributing the work of content creators.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) will host the release of a new report by NetNames and the Digital Citizens Alliance that will provide the first major assessment of how cyberlockers profit and how much money they make. The event will be held Thursday, September 18 from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill, Room 2456.
The event will be hosted by the International Creativity and Theft Prevention Caucus, and Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), a House co-chair of the caucus along with Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), will provide opening remarks. The report's author, David Price, head of piracy intelligence at NetNames, will then discuss the numbers his team found during their extensive research into the shadowy world of cyberlockers.
This will be followed by a panel of leading experts who will discuss opportunities to combat content theft and ensure the Internet remains a safe and secure place where creativity can thrive and be rewarded. The panel will be moderated by Daniel Castro, Senior Analyst with ITIF, and will feature Price, Sandra Aistars, Executive Director of the Copyright Alliance, and Tom Galvin, Executive Director of the Digital Citizens Alliance.
The event is free, open to the public and complies with ethics rules.

ITIF Hosts U.S. release of the Global Innovation Index 2014
WASHINGTON (September 10, 2014) – The growth over the last two decades of a globally integrated, innovation-based economy has transformed international trade, research and development and industrial production, while impacting job growth and competitiveness across the globe. As numerous governments now implement comprehensive innovation strategies designed to meet the challenges of this new paradigm, the United States' long standing position as a global innovation leader is being challenged like never before.
To further assess global efforts to develop vibrant innovation ecosystems and promote the reforms the United States needs to implement to keep pace, ITIF will host the American release of the Global Innovation Index 2014. The annual ranking of 143 economies, published by Cornell University, The European Institute for Business Administration (INSEAD) and the World Intellectual Property Organization, uses 81 indicators to gauge innovation capacity, competitiveness, and the strength of national innovation ecosystems. The event will be held Wednesday, September 17 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM at ITIF, 1101 K Street NW, Suite 610A.
Key findings from the report will be presented by co-author Soumitra Dutta, Dean of the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. This will be followed by a discussion of how America can develop a strong and successful innovation policy strategy based on the pace of global innovation development, led by ITIF President Robert Atkinson.
The event is free, open to the public and complies with ethics rules. A lunch will be served and a live webcast will be available on the event page.
WASHINGTON (Sept. 9, 2014) – In response to the September 10 "Internet Slowdown" organized by Fight for the Future, Demand Progress, Free Press, and Engine, Robert Atkinson, President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), releases the following statement:
ITIF is disturbed by yet another scare tactic by techno-ideological advocates, pointing to the imaginary boogie man of "slow lanes," in their effort to push for utility-style regulation of the Internet.
Most if not all of the claims made by this "Internet Slowdown" movement have no basis in reality. Arguing that "cable companies want to slow down (and break!) your favorite sites, for profit" is completely unfounded and clearly designed to be as inflammatory as possible. Their goal is simple: whip up the masses to storm the FCC with pitchforks to press for Title II regulation of broadband, while trying to suppress the important and necessary policy debate regarding what is the best regulatory framework for the continued growth of the modern Internet ecosystem.
Deliberately confusing the narrow question of how to create the right net neutrality rules with propaganda and rhetoric makes legitimate policy discussion nearly impossible. This "technological McCarthyism" is a dangerous game and has no place in broadband regulation narrowly, or tech policy more broadly. The answers to these important and complex policy questions should be firmly grounded in technical reality and reasoned argumentation, not about who can generate the most form letters filed with the FCC.
WASHINGTON (September 9, 2014) – Even though the importance of the Internet to the global economy and society continues to grow, nations collectively have made little progress in creating an actionable framework for resolving the many international conflicts over Internet policy that inevitably occur. These conflicts arise over a myriad of issues, such as free speech, intellectual property, privacy and taxation, but despite many attempts, no framework has been successful at providing a practical and widely-accepted model of cross-border Internet policy.
In a new report, Beyond Internet Universalism: A Framework for Addressing Cross-Border Internet Policy, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) argues that the chief reason for this failure has been the reliance on "all-or-nothing" Internet policy approaches, either universal rules applied to all nations or a complete free-for-all among countries. This dichotomy fails to provide a pragmatic path forward to resolve the inevitable conflicts that arise in a manner that respects sovereignty while at the same time maintaining the global nature of the Internet.
"The ability to use the Internet to purchase products and services from halfway around the world, to talk to friends and strangers in other countries, and to share and discover new ideas, has made it the defining technology of the 21st century," says Daniel Castro, Senior Analyst with ITIF and co-author of the report. "However, the same capabilities that make the Internet the incredible powerhouse that contributes trillions of dollars annually to the global economy—the ability to transfer data seamlessly across geographic borders—has exacerbated the international conflicts that arise between nations with different laws and values."
In response, ITIF has developed a policy framework that allows nations the right to customize Internet policy to their own national needs and rules, while at the same time constraining those rights in ways that enable global Internet commerce. This includes recognizing that when it comes to the Internet's technical architecture a universalist approach to promulgate global, commonly shared standards is necessary. Countries that wish to participate in the Internet must agree on a common technical architecture (e.g., domain names, networking protocols, etc.), otherwise it would degenerate into a series of national-level networks.
Conversely, when it comes to policies about how the Internet is used there can be differences between nations that match individual values and goals. However, international agreements should be utilized to achieve and formalize consensus on various policy goals, particularly those that have an effect on individuals outside the country. Where there is no consensus on the broad goal, nations should limit their policymaking activities to proposals that do not impact those outside their borders.
"By using a common framework for analyzing cross-border Internet policy issues, and understanding which issues should be contested and which should not, policymakers can avoid unnecessary conflicts and better identify the validity of criticisms of different Internet policy proposals," Castro adds.

Thermador Appliances
I bought my new house in 2007. I was pleased to see Thermador kitchen appliances except the Fridge. So I bought a Thermador fridge for $10000.00+. I did not mind spending hoping that Thermador built the quality products. During these few years, I had problems with my gas range, then with fridge and now with microwave. I called Thermador only to learn that they warranted their products for one year only. I was told to call the contractor and get it fixed at my own cost. In my opinion, Thermador products are meant for the junk yard, not for the kitchens. They will let you down. .
Sorry! Mr Thermador, you have to fix your own problems and provide an honest service. Appliances from junk yard will be more reliable than your new products.
I also just ordered a few Thermador appliances and I am excited to receive them! I think they'll be great. Not worried at all.
Every brand has its issues.
My Kitchenaid refrigerator had to be repaired one month after the year warranty was up, then it was repaired two more times in the next ten years or so. I couldn't wait to get rid of it. We replaced it with Thermador, so far so good.

Last week I was a real stress case. Things in my life have kind of settled into ups and downs, and that's okay. I am trying to learn to be okay with ups and downs rather than let them make me feel disoriented and lose my footing.
Work was kind of intense, but I'm enjoying it a lot, and hoping that things continue to go well with it as I learn how to do what is needed and become more comfortable with my role.
I got to spend some time being arty midweek, which was nice.
Most of the week I was feeling pretty anxious though, not about anything specific, just kind of everything. It took the better part of the weekend to shake it, but I'm feeling much better tonight after spending a lot of time vegging out Friday and Saturday. And today I spent some time reading at the beach in the beautiful October sunshine, and managed to catch up on boring things like laundry and dishes before the week starts.
It is an ongoing challenge figuring out how to deal with my body's antics in various situations... I don't know if and when I will ever be able to get it to catch up with my brain (that is when my brain is co-operating...). Change and stress, whether good or bad, seem to impact my stomach very similarly, which is intensely annoying! I still get the same adrenaline, nervousness, and anxiety over things that are really exciting and things that are really terrible, which can make any kind of change, no matter how good, a bit stressful.
It's so frustrating! Why can't good things just be good?! ARG!!! Maybe someday I'll get it all figured out. Until then, focusing on the positive and taking the negative one step at a time.
Yesterday was okay, today was a little worse, I have high hopes for tomorrow, and am planning to actually *gasp* DO things. Mainly, go for a massage because I'm all sore from sitting around and not doing much for THREE WEEKS (*rolls eyes*), and if I have energy later on, I hope to try and stop by the Drupal BBQ, though I'm not sure how long I'll last...
The last list sucked, so without further ado:
Just when I started getting excited about everything that was going on, life gave me one more hurdle to jump--I thought I was on the upswing from the flu that I caught a couple weeks ago, but then Thursday night when I walked to the Safeway, I realized something just wasn't right. It's only six blocks or so, but by the time I got there I was exhausted and felt kind of like I had asthma, but it just wouldn't really go away. I went into work the next morning, but was still having the same feeling, and knew I had no choice but go to the doctor's. I headed over there on my lunch break, only to find out that I'd actually developed both a respiratory and sinus infection. Fun! I guess sometimes I shouldn't be so tough on myself thinking I'm a wuss for being tired and not getting better fast enough, sometimes it really IS just that I'm not better yet!
Between taking a vacation, getting the flu (halfway through my vacation, which carried on through well over a week), and finally the power outage that has been going on in Downtown Vancouver for 2 days now (and not expected to be fixed until at least tomorrow night, possibly Thursday morning) giving many of us an unexpected couple of days (almost--still have to keep an eye on things) off or at least working from home, I have been doing some extended thinking about where I want things to go with my life.
I would just like to say how totally unimpressed I am about being sick right now. I've been sick since Thursday, after 2 days of having a fever and being achy all over and snotting all over the place. Now my fever is gone, but my throat hurts, and I'm all stuffy and coughing. And I just all of a sudden got a rash all over my tummy, its origins totally mysterious to me. WTF. Seriously, adding insult to injury. And this was supposed to be my vacation week! This is me NOT IMPRESSED.
Big thanks to everyone who's checked up on me and brought me supplies over the last few days, I love you guys.
Well, after being a little tough on Steven on the weekend, when he had a really runny nose and thought he was sick, apparently karma has come back to haunt me. What I thought were just really bad allergies to the ick in the air seems to have turned into a little summer cold. (Update - now at bedtime, full on sick, achy, chills, terribleness...BOOOO.) Luckily, he got over it in a couple days, and I'm hoping for the same for me. But for now, it's making me a little cranky, and so, methinks it be time for a list of happy things.
I think I'm going to try and post happy things whenever I feel crappy, to help cheer myself up.
I've got a mental list of things that I've been meaning to blog about, and now that I've got a few quiet moments to myself sitting in front ofthe gas fireplace in the hotel lobby (oh, how I miss having a fireplace...) I am attempting to collect my thoughts a bit. The last couple weeks have been incredibly busy, between Northern Voice, Boston, and a bazillion appointments, on top of being really sick last week, I still haven't quite had the time to process everything.

Presentation Of Jesus In The Temple
Gloria Ssali
Drawing - Drawing
The event is described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:22�40). According to the gospel, Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem forty days (inclusive) after his birth to complete Mary's ritual purification after childbirth, and to perform the redemption of the firstborn, in obedience to the Law of Moses (Leviticus 12, Exodus 13:12-15, etc.). Luke explicitly says that Joseph and Mary take the option provided for poor people (those who could not afford a lamb) (Leviticus 12:8), sacrificing "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." Leviticus 12:1-4 indicates that this event should take place forty days after birth for a male child, hence the Presentation is celebrated forty days after Christmas.
Upon bringing Jesus into the temple, they encountered Simeon the Righteous. The Gospel records that Simeon had been promised that "he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ" (Luke 2:26). Simeon prayed the prayer that would become known as the Nunc Dimittis, or Canticle of Simeon, which prophesied the redemption of the world by Jesus:
Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples; a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel (Luke 2:29-32).
Simeon then prophesied to Mary: "Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against. Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34-35).
The elderly prophetess Anna was also in the Temple, and offered prayers and praise to God for Jesus, and spoke to everyone there about Jesus and his role in the redemption of Israel (Luke 2:36-38).

what type of hornworm is this?
The markings don't match that of any Tomato or Tobacco hornworm I have ever seen. Caught these lil boogers on my zucchini squash and tomato plants.
Thanks in advance
What a beautiful picture. It isn't a tomato hornworm. It looks like a White Lined Sphinx (also called the Striped Morning Sphinx) Caterpillar. Check out the Caterpillar page linked below. I'm pretty sure that's it about 2/3s of the way down the page. They become Hummingbird Moths.
Here's another description with pictures.
Here is a link that might be useful: Caterpillar page
Uh... I suppose there are different kinds of hornworm, but those look an awful lot like the ones I picked off of the family tomato plants when I was a kid. Mine were pretty big. It was amazing to watch how fast they could scarf down leaf after leaf.
Better go looking for more. They travel with entourages.
Yeah, I was just gonna say that regardless of the way it's stripes run and the color of it's horn, I bet that rascal can defoliate a limb on a tomato plant in short order.
Who is that nice guy who shows up around here every year and collects those things ??? I bet that he knows exactly what you may call it.
I might offer to take a couple of them fishin with me if I could get the chance to go. ":^) Man, if you had a pocket full of them and another pocket full of them SVB maggots you could catch many fish, big and small!
Bill P.
The Sphinx Moth caterpillars will eat most anything, and they aren't particularly choosy according to the information below:
"Two broods of white-lined sphinx caterpillars emerge each year. The caterpillar of the white-lined sphinx moth is quite omnivorous. While sometimes encountered as a pest, a variety of its hosts include weeds. Hence, these caterpillars may become beneficial in the eyes of humans. They rarely cause enough economic damage to merit control in western Washington. The principal hosts for the white-lined sphinx moth include apple, azalea, beets, buckwheat, chickweed, collards, currant, bitterdock, elm, evening primrose, fuchsia, gooseberry, grape, melon, pear, plum/prune, purslane, tomato, turnip, and several other range, forage, and truck plants. The tomato hornworm feeds on tomato and other plants of the Solanaceae family. The willow sphinx moth probably feeds exclusively on willow." -- Sphinx Moths/Hummingbird Moths
They turn into such pretty moths. Can't you spare a few tomato plants??
I had a few dill plants that were completely disappearing a couple years ago, until I finally noticed some kind of swallowtail caterpillar on what was left of the plants. I looked them up, and decided the moths were so pretty that I could go without the dill and just let them be.
I'll be nice..Anney answered my question...and ty Anney
and the thought of sparing some tomato plants for the sake of the moth's larvae well being is not going to happen. Sorry..
Raised these maters from seeds..time and effort put in..if they wanna munch....munch somewhere else..not in my garden.
Found 4 more today and they met a new owner,,,fer some reason a co-worker is obsessed with watching caterpillers
go thru their stages and document it..so...the 4 have a chance to live only to pupate into a moth that will end up on his wall of moths...out of my hands..
no harm done Sammy,,gave them to a friend who wants to see them pupate..interesting..told him to make sure to put some dirt inside that pickle jar,,cause these boogers pupate underground and emerge later as moths...as does the other popular ones..some say tilling the ground causes 90% mortality rate for future generations..will do.
happy gardening..

Where is Pete?
Is he visiting Disneyland?
Unfortunately, Pete has been permanently banned--or so he claims. It was something that occurred over on Hot Topics, but I don't know what--I was out of town when it happened and the offending posts must have been deleted before I got back to my home computer.
I post on Hot Topics sometimes--they can be brutal over there--can't imagine what Pete could have said that would be worse. He didn't elaborate on the matter to me.
Needless to say, Pete is feeling a bit disillusioned with forums at the moment.
If you are reading this, Pete--we miss you.
Kate -- please let him know that some of us miss his droll sense of humor.
I didn't think that GardenWeb banned members forever, outside of spam advertising. I know a couple of people who were banned for a finite period of time, then reinstated.
I don't look at Hot Topics very often, but it can be a free-for-all.
I went over to the Hot Topics. WHEW!!! And I thought I was opinionated. Got to give them credit. Those threads M-O-V-E. I placed two posts, one on two different threads, and was surprised by all the responses. The Heath Leger thread is kind of sweet but the political threads (and there are lot of them) are downright vicious. Frankly, I think I'll stick to the rose forums. It is a whole lot calmer over here.
I miss Pete!!! If he has been permanently banned his IP may be blocked. But that is easy to bypass!!
Just use one of the proxy-sites and it is possible to get back under a new username. There are many in the privax network that is so helpful, should they ever ban you from a forum!!! But of course why get back to a forum that bans you? Well to keep in touch with forum friends and foes of course!
Even if Pete were to come back as someone else, the minute he lets it be known that it is him, someone will snitch on him.
From what I've seen on these forums every one of them seems to have a goody two shoes to make it all right in THEIR world.
This is not a private forum, anymore, and as draconian as Spike was, was he really that bad? At least there weren't any ads and you knew where the lines were drawn.
Now, it is willy nilly as to who stays and who goes.
Some, it seems, seem to get away with more than others.
Now, watch me get bumped.
There were ads in Spike's day, and some would say he was draconian. I don't know if that's true. You paid a small fee not to see the ads -- now I don't see ads as long as I log in. You can also use a Mozilla browswer with adverisement blocks.
Pete must have said something, I think.... otherwise I would have thought the mods would have just warned him. From what I have read the thread was deleted, or his post was deleted, one or the other -- which leaves people wondering what happened.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hot Topics
REDSOX, you are right about it being an Obama club, over
there. Most people over there, at Hot Topics, really can't
handle an opinion that differs from theirs. They just like
to come up with very snobby remarks and name calling, like
the "troll" word they repeat over and over. I am not afraid
of their bully tactics though, but I know how Pete must have
felt. Some of the people over there, wrote about how they
got rid of Pete and wanted to get rid of me.
Devon, I've been watching your adventures over there and I fear for you. There seems to be an effort underweigh to bait you into saying something intemperate. Please think twice before clicking the 'send' button there, can't have you off vacationing with your Jedi father.
Do be careful over there.
You know, once upon a time I believe a poster over there posted the position statements on healthcare from various candidates, taken directly from their websites, and recharacterized in negative language.
Not surprisingly, most of the posters over there didn't recognize their own candidate's positions, with some becoming apoplectic when confronted with the very ideas they "support."
IOW, there seem to be a lot of intellectual "brown outs" over there.
Otherwise, if you insist on becoming a habitue over there then please refine your "cut and paste" skills, not that it will ultimately matter.
Yes, Joe and you learned from that experience...
I still don't know what Devon did that was so bad. He started off in a very controversial manner. I couldn't believe it was our Devon. He made a lot of enemies and was labeled a troll.
Hey folks, I post on Hot Topics a lot, so feel the need to defend it a bit. It is not a place for thin-skinned posters, but it can be very interesting watching all the different opinions and attitudes--and even following some of the fighting. And if you like politics during this very political year, it's a great place for following the nuances of political thought and loyalties.
If you do not like to argue or to follow other arguments, don't go there. However, it can be quite stimulating if you enjoy that kind of "entertainment."
Words of advice:
Don't walk in with a chip on your shoulder. They will take you down fast if you do.
Don't try to impress them with inflammatory posts that you believe will throw them into confusion and chaos and thereby convince them that you are mr/ms superior being. They will cut you down to size quickly.
Don't flaunt yourself just for the sake of getting attention. They won't like you.
Be prepared to defend your position by discussing it and by citing legitimate sources. They hate drive-by shooters.
I'm not pointing a finger at any particular poster--just generalizing about a variety of posters I've seen get in trouble on Hot Topics. Posters can get banned over there for using certain taboo words and for personal insults. Other than that, I'm not aware of anyone getting kicked off for having an unpopular viewpoint--or about half the regular posters over there would be banned!
Oh yes, I should mention that politically, Hot Topics posters tend to be Democrats or Independents--but there are lots of dissenting viewpoints even within those parameters. Conservative viewpoints are relatively rare over there, but no one objects per se to conservatives posting unless the conservatives are doing it just to harass non-conservatives.
If you want to try it out, I suggest you spend at least several weeks just reading posts--until you get the feel for the place. Then enter in the spirit of the place--and you can have some "vigorous" fun also.
Well I think this whole thing stinks. Not only have we lost two of our friends through going there and being banned, we also have lost a lot of other friends who do not frequent here any more. Kate you said yourself that you spend a lot of time over there now. Well, I for one have missed you very much here, also hardly seen Foghorn or Mat and it seems more and more of our rosey friends are frequenting there. This is all because we were having that stupid debate on Climate Change and Global Warning, when it was suggested that Pete go over to Hot Topics. It was fun at first when he hit that forum a couple of times and reported back. Unfortnately now, too many of you seem to be more stimulated on that Forum and we are missing all of you. It is not the same over here now. I feel we have personally been punished too for the loss of Pete and Devon. Why could they just not have got a warning. Us in the sidelines really do not know too much about it. Why is this a permanent thing, or should I say, why is this not TEMPORARY! Actually, I know Devon Was well and truly warned from some of his friends here. I am so sorry that he did not take heed.
I just feel a big loss to this forum not just with the two banned but our other friends who have been caught up in it!
:sniff :SNIFF
Pauline - Vancouver Island
From what I have seen, getting banned just takes a few viewpoints from a conservative side combined with an spirited way of posting it. As an independent I could post something that would get both the liberals and conservatives riled in ten seconds, not that I would do that.
After wondering where Devon is and reading this post, I went to the hot topics forum to try to see what the fuss was about. I read the post he started about a woman being president. It really appeared he was just politely trying to get a dialogue going. He in no way said anything offensive, unless you count his little tongue-in-cheek remark about women needing to stop at every shoe sale. Which was followed by a "lol", and when one of those cranks took offense, he apologized profusely.
Was there something else, another thread? Am I missing something? He was kicked out because of joking about women and shoe store sales? There is no way that sort of benign banter would come under the radar of the GW staff. It must be one or more of the regulars to that hot topics column claiming false offense; I would think they would have to make up some lies in order for GW to justify banning him.
Those people are rabid. I don't mind discussing politics but there are many more sites out there where you don't have to fear being ousted just because you have a different point of view than the liberals. The hot topics forum and its regulars are certainly not worthy of our loss of Devon and Pete.
Don't get too upset. Its a seasonal thing. Right now the election is hot and our roses are not! You will hear more from your favorite posters as the season unfolds. And, according to the widely-used calendar of Harry, March 1st is the first day of Spring. That's tomorrow. Coincidently, the opening of Rose Season is the same day!
Gentlemen, start your pruners.
AND, although Devon is not here to inspire us and Pete is not here to annoy us, they are both happily gardening in warm places.
I don't know that Devon was permanently banned. All I know is that posters on Hot Topics and on the Rose Forums started noting that he wasn't posting anymore. Maybe he just went on vacation--like he did one other time when this forum was wondering where he disappeared to. At any rate, unless he has been receiving lots of warnings and ignoring them, I doubt if he was permanently banned. So he may be back in a week or two.
I hope Harry is correct about the seasonal thing. I get a break from work in 3 weeks, so rose season for me begins then--unless I miscalculated and some bare roots arrive earlier (oh--oh--holes not dug yet!)
By the way, if some of you want to say "Hi" to Richard (I know he is missed), he posts fairly often over on Hot Topics also. But he is very serious over there--not the funnyman we knew here.
Richard (tobr) might seem serious over there, but I see his role as a sneaky instigator. He recently started a thread about Mensa wanting to recruit the Hot Topics Forum. It is a classic which I highly recommend for winter reading material.
Harry thanks for being so sweet and positive. OK, we will be in full (just about) running as Spring approaches and you start showing us pictures of those pretty Japanese Beetles again - Just kidding! I sincerely hope you do not have any to show off this year.
...........and of course any topic on the presidential campaign right now, must be very exhilerating for you all. I have been very intersted in watching the debates on TV also.
Kate, if you are anything like me when I was just about to retire. It was a very exciting time and I counted the days, hours and minutes. I am sure you will love retirement. It takes a wee while though before it becomes a reality. Most of us retire younger now, even if the right official age, we are just so much younger than past generations and we know how to have fun...ENJOY!
Pauline - Vancuver Island
Can you email Devon and see if its a permanent ban? I guess this might also let us know if Pete will ever be back.
I think Hot Topics has so many liberal points of view because those who oppose get banned. Although Pete stirred the pot I never saw him say anything that was worth banning. Devons post about a woman president was not bad....certainly not 'enough' in my opinion to require a ban. Its a shame.
