Make homemade preserves that reveal a world of endless flavor combinations with the help of The Preservation Kitchen (Ten Speed Press, 2012). Author, restaurant owner and renowned chef Paul Virant with Kate Leahy provides expert preserving techniques and sophisticated recipes for everything from salads to cocktails. In this excerpt from part one, "In the Jar," is a classic recipe for sauerkraut that is tasty and easy to make.
You can purchase this book from the MOTHER EARTH NEWS store: The Preservation Kitchen.
24 cups Green cabbage, sliced finely or shredded (97% of total volume) 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and 3 tablespoons for making the weight (3% of total volume, not including the salt in the weight)
1. In a tall, large ceramic crock or food-grade plastic container, mix the green cabbage with 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of the salt. Using a mallet, pound the cabbage to encourage it to release water. Or simply crush the salt into the cabbage with clean hands. (It may be easier to do this in a large, wide bowl.) Cover and set aside. It will take about 12 hours for the cabbage to release enough water to form a brine.
2. Once the brine forms, keep the cabbage submerged by making a weight. In a pot, simmer together 4 1/2 cups water with the remaining 3 tablespoons of salt. Cool to room temperature, then pour the brine into 1 or 2 heavy-duty resealable plastic storage bags. Place a plate or plastic lid on top of the cabbage and put the bag(s) on top. If you are using a ceramic crock for sauerkraut, it may come with a weight designed to fit inside the crock to weigh down the vegetables, eliminating the need for a makeshift weight. If this is the case, keep the extra brine in the refrigerator in case the sauerkraut looks dry or you need it for processing the jars.
3. Store the sauerkraut at a cool room temperature (60˚F to 65˚F) for 2 to 3 weeks, or until the fermentation stops. Bubbles on the surface will indicate that the fermentation is going strong. Periodically skim off foam with a ladle and scrape away any mold that may adhere to the sides of the container or surface of the brine. When bubbles no longer appear on the surface and the cabbage has a pleasant, tangy flavor, the fermentation is done. You will have about 12 cups of sauerkraut. At this point, the sauerkraut is ready to process. Alternatively, you can transfer the sauerkraut into a clean container and refrigerate it. If the cabbage stays submerged in the brine, the sauerkraut will keep for a few months in the refrigerator.
4. Scald 6 pint jars in a large pot of simmering water fitted with a rack — you will use this pot to process the jars. Right before filling, put the jars on the counter. Meanwhile, soak the lids in a pan of hot water to soften the rubber seal.
5. Strain the brine. Divide the sauerkraut among the jars, then ladle the brine over the top, leaving a 1/2-inch space from the rim of the jar. Check for air pockets, adding more brine if necessary to fill in gaps. Wipe the rims with a clean towel, seal with the lids, then screw on the bands until snug but not tight.
6. Place the jars in the pot with the rack and add enough water to cover the jars by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars for 15 minutes (start the timer when the water reaches a boil). Turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water for a few minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let cool completely. Makes 6 pints.
Variation: You can use the same quantities of vegetables and salt to make a rutabaga sauerkraut. When rutabagas ferment, they become rich and subtly sweet. I use them as the foundation for improbably delicious latkes. To make rutabaga sauerkraut, grate the rutabagas with a box grater and follow the instructions for cabbage sauerkraut.

Manual for streets 2
Guidance and case studies on how the philosophies set out in the Manual for Streets can be extended beyond residential streets to encompass both urban and rural situations.
'Manual for streets 2 - wider application of the principles', a companion guide to 'Manual for streets', was published by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) on 29 September 2010.
'Manual for streets 2' builds on the philosophies set out in 'Manual for streets' and demonstrates through guidance and case studies how they can be extended beyond residential streets to encompass both urban and rural situations. It fills the perceived gap in design advice that lies between 'Manual for streets' and the design standards for trunk roads as set out in the 'Design manual for roads and bridges'. It will help everyone involved in the planning, construction and improvement of our streets to deliver more contextually sensitive designs.
'Manual for streets 2' is not available from the Department for Transport. Please use the link below for more information, including how you can order copies from the CIHT.

Title: | Beyond armed resistance : ethnonational politics in Burma (Myanmar) |
Author: | Thawnghmung, Ardeth Maung |
Date: | 2011 |
Publisher: | Honolulu : East-West Center |
Abstract: | This paper sheds light on the activities of non-armed members of ethnic minorities in Burma, insufficiently studied actors in the conventional study of ethnic politics in Burma that has long been dominated by a focus on ethnonational armed resistance groups and ceasefire groups. Focusing on the Kachin, Karen, Mon, and Shan ethnic groups, the study describes nine major economic, political, and geographical categories of civilian experience, followed by four contributions that non-armed members of ethnic minority groups may make to the political system: (1) supporting the status quo, (2) transforming or undermining the status quo, (3) promoting collective identity and culture and addressing humanitarian needs, and (4) helping to mediate ceasefire agreements. The study demonstrates the need to be aware of the full range of nonviolent political actions that exist among ethnic minority populations and argues that policy responses must look beyond the role of armed groups and become more sensitive to the needs of the diverse members of ethnic communities. |

Back to School Dinner Recipes Part 2
Making a meal stretch is not only smart, it's easy! I love making something for dinner that can also be used in a lunch the next day, not only for my husband's lunch but for the kid's lunch as well. Whether it's a roast for dinner with sandwiches the next day, leftovers make the perfect meal.
Last week I made baked chicken for dinner and was able to turn it into chicken rolls up for lunch the next day for the kids and a chicken salad for myself. I've also been known to take meatballs from last night's spaghetti dinner and serve up some mean sandwiches the next day.
Moms, how do you stretch your meals to make cooking easier during busy times?
my dh usually takes left overs (especially meat) for lunch the next day....but he usually doesn't turn it into something else...he just takes what we have already made.
however, i do use grilled chicken in my salads sometimes.
my inlaws will make chicken on a post (on the grill) and then with the left overs, they make enchiladas and use the bones (w/ meat on it) to make chicken soup too.....
Quoting VanBurren:My leftovers are usually eaten as is for a day or two later; I don't turn one meal's leftovers into another dish the next day. I really should try to be a little more creative in that way.
I usually don't have left overs... My hubby works night and takes the food with him But your recipes sounds good.. :o)
I usually make enough for leftovers for the next day. However, I don't think of making something into another meal. I really should though.
Any leftovers are often eaten for lunch the next day but if I make something like ham or a chicken I will make things with it like: sandwiches, in salads, wraps or soups.
Quoting supergirl_mommy:
If I expect to be using a lot of turkey within 2wks to a month I get a full turkey and bake it then cut it/shred it and freeze majority of it so its ready to grab and cook for a quick meal.

Twins & Multiples: Surviving the First Year
Not One but Two Babies
Jodi was thrilled when she found out she was pregnant with twins. She and her husband, Matt, had always wanted two children, and this way they would do it with just one pregnancy. But when the twins arrived, the demands of caring for two babies caught the couple off guard. "We didn't have a clue what we were doing. They needed to be fed every few hours around the clock. Even when they were napping, we had to prepare bottles and do the laundry, so we hardly got any sleep," the West Bloomfield, Michigan, mom recalls. "We were totally overwhelmed."
If you have twins or triplets, chances are you're delighted but also wondering how you're going to juggle the needs of your instant family. After all, most new parents have their hands full with just one baby! The reality is that raising multiples is hard. You have double or triple the feeding, diapering, and laundry and, as a result, less time to spend cuddling and getting to know each baby. To be sure, there will be days when you feel as if you're walking up a down escalator. Recovering from a c-section or visiting premature babies in an intensive-care nursery (events you are more likely to experience when you have multiples) will only add to the difficulty. Fortunately, there are ways to make it work so that you can not only survive but -- yes -- enjoy your babies' first year.

Do NOT use unsweetened chocolate - it makes the recipe taste horrendous. We had much better success when we switched to semi-sweet - did not get the strange, twisted faces from people tasting the bitter chocolate.
These were excellent and easy to make.
Interesting treat. I used almond extract instead of vanilla as the submitter suggested and I am glad I did because even with it the base almost tasted like butterscotch. I can't imagine using sweetened chocolate if you follow the recipe for the base. I did as instructed and used unsweetened and still found for my taste, I could cut the sugar back. Thanks, Gayla

Modern Screen - October 1941; pg 20
Cary Grant
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Archibald Leach who ran away from home in Bristol, England, to join an acrobatic troupe. Well-versed in stilt-walking, acrobatic and clown routines, he trekked all over the British Isles and across the Atlantic to the N.Y. Hippodrome. During an automobile trip to California, he casually took a screen test and has been hitting cinematic headlines ever since. Nowadays you'll recognize him as Cary Grant, starring in Columbia Pictures. He has a preference for striped ties and an arch-hate for monogrammed shirts and hankies, but doesn't understand why anyone gives a darn. Claims he's a bungler when it comes to courtin'; then discredits his statement by successfully wooing top-notch heiress Barbara Hutton. Close-mouthed, he won't talk about his fiancée or closest pals, Noel Coward and Randy Scott. He has an aversion to cozy "twosome" shots, consequently goes to previews alone or with a staid, unphotogenic crony. Doesn't mention his enormous donations to British War Relief!

The goal is to assess patients with an immediate crisis and recommend an appropriate level of care. When arriving at the Emergency Department, families need to register for a psychiatric evaluation.
Evaluations are generally first come, first served, based on treatment room placement. Please remember that you and your child may encounter a significant wait. However, your child will be monitored by the ED staff in a safe environment. Rest assured that everything will be done by the PIRC and ED staff to try to expedite the experience.
Registration staff will collect all information about demographics, insurance and reason for presentation from the patient family.
The nursing staff will assess the patient needs and the urgency of those needs.
The patient and family will be moved into one of the treatment rooms within the Emergency Department based on the outcome of the urgency assessment.
The patient will be assessed medically by the nursing staff.
The emergency medicine physician will assess the patient's medical needs and medical stability.
The psychiatric social worker will assess the mental health needs of the child. This assessment will include the collection of an accurate history of the illness, past mental health concerns, past or current psychiatric treatment, family history and a thorough mental status examination to illustrate the symptoms of the patient.
The psychiatric social worker will consult with the ED physician and family to determine the best treatment for the patient. If your child is to be admitted to a psychiatric unit, the psychiatric social worker will coordinate and arrange for the admission. If your child is discharged from the Emergency Department, the psychiatric social worker will refer you and your child back to the psychiatric outpatient provider or give you with the name and number of a psychiatric outpatient provider.

Recently I started using the settings of, stamina-low, use of relievers-normal and use of closers-rarely. I use the DH in my league and these settings provide for a 10 man pitching staff, 5 starters and 5 relievers. I am loving this setup. It's kind of refreshing to manage a bullpen without a closer. I now have my best relief guy available anytime I need him. I actually think I'm a better manager using this strategy.
This has me thinking about whether or not a real team might benefit from trying this. What do y'all think? And what about the save as a stat? I know in the past Gossage has been very critical of the fact that so many saves are nothing more than a guy coming in to get 3 outs with a 2 or 3 run lead. Basically, something most guys should be able to do in their sleep. Oh and thanks to Questdog for his ridicule of the 11 man bullpen. You sir are my muse/muze, well one of those at least. |

If you like historical play, what you have described is basically the way bullpens were managed from the mid-50's through the early 70's. Except for a few guys who profile more like closers (Perranoski, Abernathy, Wilhelm in some years), the norm was 4-5 guys who worked in tandem, with the manager often riding one or two guys when they were hot, sometimes right into the rotation (Niekro for the Braves in 1967). It really is fun to manage the bullpen in the style of these years. I have always thought that it isn't until you get to the early-mid 70's that you start to really see widespread exclusive closers. (Fingers still got a couple of starts a year as late as 1973.) Everything changed after that and even though Gossage is right, it was his performance more than any other pitcher that solidified the role of closer, even thought I always thought Ron Davis was a better pitcher on those teams (79-81 Yankees).

you are exactly right
I think the Giants last year stumbled onto something worth continuing. The defectiveness of the "save" stat (come in with the bases empty and give up two runs of a three run lead!) leads to some really, really overpaid ninth inning pitchers. Relief pitchers also don't get into too many games, so by nature decisions about them are based on small sample sizes and you're likely to see up and down performances from year to year.
And why save your best guy to pitch to the 7-8-9 batters if that's who's up in the ninth? If you have a small lead in the 7th and a jam to be faced, that's when the best guy should get the call. I've ended up playing OOTP this way, more or less, and the effects on your team's budget are pretty dramatic. There's a reason Billy Beane suggested the "sell the closer" gambit in Moneyball. Unless you're talking about Mariano Rivera or Goose Gossage or someone, picking a closer is just glorifying a middle reliever. |

Yes. The creation of the 'Save' has really hurt managers' ability to handle the bullpen.

In one fictional historical league set in 1976. I used 6 MR 3L/3R all 6 pitched in 100 games and all 6 had at least 10 saves. My SP was atrocious. No starter won more then 9 games.

Well so much for me being a better manager without a closer. I still suck. Won 80 games our first season, but followed that up with a last place finish. Oh well at least we got the 4 pick in the draft.
Crazy thing is, I had a starter lose 23 games (7-23). Strange thing is, his numbers really weren't those of a 20+ game loser. The pitcher on my team that won 18 games, may have actually had worse numbers. I also had my best reliever lose 16 games(1-16). I think he only had 4-5 blown saves, so it wasn't like he was coming in and blowing it every time. He pitched in a ton of games that we were tied up late and always seemed to be the one on the hook for the loss. |

Unlike most strategic evolution in baseball, the closer did not derive from someone doing something different and being successful. For all the Gossage talk, he only pitched for one WS winner and he had no saves in that series. It's very uncommon for a league saves leader to pitch for a WS championship team (Brian Wilson in 2010 is the only one this century).

As for Gossage, in most of his peak years he pitched much more than an inning per appearance, usually averaging 2 IP or more. So, not necessarily save stats as opposed to "finishing" stats. I've always thought that LaRussa's A's were the big innovators with the specialized bullpen. Honeycutt in the 8th and Eckersley in the 9th, with Nelson and Burns switching off to pitch the 7th where needed. Maybe it's just the team of that era I saw more than others, but pretty soon it seemed like every team had some guy who waited for his special song to come on and jog in for the 9th. Now (at least in SF) they get their own little video montage, which was amusing last season when suddenly Casilla was "the closer" and was getting his own video tribute whenever he came on. Playing "Enter Sandman" doth not Mariano Rivera make. |

My somewhat botched point was that there isn't any evidence to support the idea that having a dominant closer makes teams more likely to win, or even that using a pitcher specifically to close games makes a team more likely to win.

You could make a pretty good case for using your third best reliever as a CL in OOTP. SU 1 is your best, SU 2/MR1 is your second best, and CL your third best.
SU1 and SU2/MR1 if he's a good pitcher even with low stam could probably throw 80-100 innings in high leverage spots which is the best way to take advantage of your pen. If your third best RP (CL) is competent he'll still save 85-90% of the games. Plus the way OOTP uses CL he probably won't pitch more than 50-60 innings, whereas the top SU will be put in significantly more innings/games. If you're not comfortable with using your third best RP as a CL, then just make your second best guy a CL and your top guy SU #1. Your SU #1 will still pitch in the highest leverage situations and get more innings than the closer. |

While I agree that the win isn't as useful for rating pitchers as some might like to think, I do think the loss is a bit more useful, particularly for relievers. Your offense may not have helped you out, but you still gave up those runs.

The 'win/loss' stats go both ways... You won't find many 4.50 ERA guys on dominant teams that manage to get 15 wins... and you won't find many 3.00 ERA guys on awful teams with 15 losses... So while it's a "team" stat to a degree, it's mostly a pitcher stat. It's all about the amount of weight you put behind it... the truth is always in the middle. Sure, there is Felix Hernandez who finished with 12-14 wins and right around .500 overall for some awful Mariners teams... and he was largely dominant. He would have been a 20 game winner for almost anybody else... But generally speaking for the vast majority of the league... it all comes out in the wash... good pitchers get wins, bad pitchers take losses.
I agree that the "save" stat is largely useless and/or vastly overrated. If your best reliever is needed in the 6th inning, then dammit you better use him in the 6th inning. |

You should never, ever put any weight behind Win/Loss stats. They're useless. Doesn't matter if it's a starter or reliever. It doesn't tell you anything.
To the two guys above who said you like using W/L for relievers - it's irrelevant. If one RP gets 2 outs and allows a base hit, and gets replaced by another reliever, and that reliever fails to strand the base runner, then the first RP gets stuck with the loss even though the second guy screwed up. It doesn't tell us anything about either pitcher. Last edited by ThePretender; 02-17-2013 at 04:33 PM. |

When you look at how the bullpen has evolved since the 50s until now I expect that sometime around 2020 the idea of a rotation (as we know it) will be extinct.
Eventually the best pitchers will throw 3-5 innings a game and they'll pitch ever 3 or 4 times a week. This makes sense for a lot of reasons: - Pitchers are more effective in short bursts. - Decreased loads under fatigue and increased frequency are better for the arm - More cost effective. - Changes in strategy have hurt the amount of innings a starter can throw. - Allows for a greater flexibility with match-ups. The bullpen has changed a lot just based on effectiveness before we had the ability to compile the data we can now. The bullpen went from guys who were not good enough to start, to the idea of a relief ace, to the closer, to the closer and the setup man, to the full 7-8-9 bridge to the present in which teams are effectively building bullpens that are 5 deep. It won't be long before teams realize that giving 160 innings to a "5th" starter (who is really a 7th or 8th starter after injuries) is wasteful. It won't be long before the inefficiencies of using a closer are eliminated. Those are changes that I expect to see within 2-3 years. Once teams are back to 4 man rotations and free from the "roles" in the bullpen the line will get further blurred between a starter and a reliever, albeit over several years. |

i) the existence of both is possible/conceivable, and ii) it's not like there are no better stats for judging pitcher effectiveness than W/L (to say the least)... As for closers -- I tend to use a relief ace model in which my best reliever appears whenever we're in a jam that isn't a save situation, and my closer pitches strictly in save situations. Right now I am lacking a relief ace, but I am keeping my closer (Andrew Bailey) in the closer role, because it's kind of an in-house rule for me that if I have a Proven Closer(tm) on the roster, he is used as a trad closer (unless there are mitigating circumstances, like the PC(tm) having sucked in the previous year and thus being willing to take a set-up man role, etc.). Just feels more realistic. For that reason I prefer to use closers who are either in (pre-)arb or old and available for one year, whilst my relief ace I might be willing to give a bit more to in dollars and years (although in practical terms you can find these guys before they hit FA). Whatever your feelings are about the effect of leverage upon individual pitchers, I don't think OOTP models any such effect does it? |

Medical college
A medical college is a trade association that brings together practitioners of a particular geographical area (a country, region, province). In common-law countries, they are often grouped by medical specialties (cardiologists, family doctors, etc.).
Medical associations act as a safeguard of the fundamental values of the medical profession: the deontological ethics and code of ethics. In addition to providing exclusive representation in national and international medical practitioners, a medical college is responsible for management and protection of the medical profession.
In most countries, licensing is usually required. A professional or college official is a public corporation of an industry association composed of persons exercising liberal professions and calls are usually covered by the state. Associate members are known as colleges.[1]
In ancient Rome, the college was understood by the name of Colegium the company public law with legal personality, formed by a plurality of persons with the same trade. For its formation is needed at least three people, but to continue their activity sufficient one. It is believed that Opificum o Societate colleges, from which the current Official Colleges, were derived from the associations of commoners to achieve benefits similar to those enjoyed by the patricians, needed a special authorization from the Emperor or the Senate to take legal personality. The government and the administration were chosen at a meeting of all participants. From Alexander Severus, these associations are transformed to free compulsory, children should follow the profession of his father.
These first colleges were characterized by common purpose to prevail over private interests. In Europe, and specifically in Spain, colleges and professional associations have a long tradition through the centuries, interrupted only by the French Revolution, which in its ideology advocating that there should be one between the citizen and the state. This suppression of the early nineteenth century was changing throughout the century, returning to the end of her rebirth.
Currently, a professional association is a public corporation of an industry association composed of persons exercising professions calls, and are usually covered by the state. Associate members are known as colleges. When dedication is directed to manual or craft activities used the traditional name of guild.[2] [3]

My newspaper carrier puts a card in our paper every holiday season thanking us for subscribing, wishing us a Merry Christmas, and asking for a tip. At the bottom it reads, "Please tip your carrier. Checks for tips should be made out to, "Mr. Smith." (Not his real name.) This appalls me because I was always taught that tips are to be neither expected nor asked for. Needless to say, I don't tip. (Not only because he so blatantly asks for a tip, but because the service during the year isn't worth it. When we go on vacation and ask to have the paper held and delivered when I return, he never does it. But I digress…)
There are expectations to tip everyone thes

What a difference a last name makes. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs made it his mission to "destroy Android" even if it meant bankrupting Apple in order to do so. The other Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, doesn't spew the same venom towards Google's green machine as Jobs once did, and even wishes his beloved iPhone could do some of the same things as Android, or at least do certain things as well as the open source OS.
"My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do," Wozniak recently said, according to The Daily Beast.
Android's a tough sell to Apple fans, in part because so many are already entrenched in the iOS ecosystem, but also because some of them view the open source platform as a bit more complicated. Wozniak is unfazed.
"If you're willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there's more available in some ways," Wozniak added.
Wozniak feels that voice commands are superior on Android, and the built-in navigation is a huge plus as well. The iPhone has Siri, but according to Wozniak, it doesn't work as well ever since Apple took control of the reigns, both by giving irrelevant responses, and also because of server issues. Still, he isn't ready to tell the world to go out and buy an Android phone, at least not en masse.
"The people I recommend the iPhone 4S for are the ones who are already in the Mac world, because it's so compatible, and people who are just scared of computers altogether and don't want to use them," Wozniak says. "The iPhone is the least frightening thing. For that kind of person who is scared of complexity, well, here's a phone that is simple to use and does what you need it to do."

Weak and Weaker
Why Europe's Newest Leaders Will Be a Disaster
LORINC REDEI is a lecturer at the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
See more by this authorLate last Saturday evening, European leaders collectively rendered the European Union irrelevant to global affairs. Through their choice of nominees to two of the EU's top posts, and their decision to postpone sanctions on Russia even as its troops invaded Ukraine, they made it clear that they prefer a Europe that is internally incoherent and unable to defend its interests abroad. Whether the European heads of state and government acted out of ignorance or cowardice, the repercussions will be felt by ordinary citizens throughout the continent.
Indisputably, EU politics are more incoherent than ever before. The special EU summit appointed Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk as the next president of the European Council, the body that convenes the leaders of EU member states to give policy direction. The president's ostensible purpose is to embrace the interests of the entire continent (as opposed to those of individual member states), and to forge consensus among the various national capitals through extensive bilateral communication. Tusk may be a talented politician: He is the only re-elected prime minister of post-communist Poland. He may also be a well-liked figure in Brussels -- he did, after all, revive Poland's standing within European circles after the tumultuous leadership of Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski -- Poland's former president and prime minister, respectively -- and is known as a tough negotiator in the European Council.

This sleek number is ready to run with the big boys. It kept pace with, and in some cases clearly outclassed its high-end competition. Despite its deficiencies in the display department and underwhelming battery life, the RAZR looks to be a perfectly viable alternative.

Critic reviews
sort by
I'd recommend the RAZR for Verizon shoppers purely because it's the best hardware out right now. ... The Kevlar does lend the phone a unique feel, the hardware is impressively thin, and the display is no worse at color rendering than any other AMOLED panel. It just needs Android 4.0.
Read the full review →The Droid Razr has no aesthetic merits other than its thinness, but performance is admirable. The phone feels snappy and very responsive, typing is great, and the phone's camera is acceptable.
Read the full review →When the phone was first announced, we fell in love. When we first held it, we fell out of love again. And now we've used it, we can't help feel a really strong affection for it. Is this the best phone of the year? No. ... Is it worth considering? Yes, absolutely.
Read the full review →Although thanks to the "hump" Motorola's thinness claims aren't entirely true, the DROID RAZR is certainly slim and easy to pocket. Unfortunately, like the original RAZR, there are also compromises made to achieve a slimline package.
Read the full review →Chalk up another one in the "Best phone on Verizon" category. We keep saying that a lot for Big Red, but it's no less true. The Droid RAZR's got a great screen, the dual-core processor keeps things plenty speedy, and Motorola's customizations keep getting better with each iteration. But we're very...
Read the full review →With plenty of power, a gorgeous thin and lightweight design, and plenty of useful features, the Droid RAZR lives up to the RAZR name and the expectations users have with Motorola's legacy of cellphones and smartphones.
Read the full review →As impressive as the Droid RAZR is in so many respects, the poor battery life and PenTile display make it hard for me to wholeheartedly recommend it. There are some bright points: Motorola has improved the camera over the dreadful one found in the Bionic, the the kevlar backing isn't (just) a...
Read the full review →As an upgrade from my HTC Desire this is a fantastic phone. Everything seems a huge step forward; in particular the speed makes it a joy to use. Suddenly all desire for the HTC has evaporated. I'm also less bothered about the wait for ICS - it is already such a better experience that I feel happy...
Read the full review →I made the mistake of leaving my phone at home. That led me to the Verizon store and browsing the new offerings. Dual cameras, dual core processor, and an amazing screen caught both my techie and esthetic appreciation. The display got my attention first, bright, clear, readable... and the...
Read the full review →This phone is fantastic. I can't stress that enough. I have a friend who took the Android plunge with me, over two years ago, when we both went out and bought Droids (as in the original one!). We became huge geeks about the whole platform, and have been custom ROMming and such since a few months...
Read the full review →I love this phone. I've had it since the day it released, and there's not another phone on the market that I'd prefer over this one. I can live with the low battery life. I prefer the slim design. Give it a better camera, and it would be perfect, IMO.
Read the full review →It is an amazing phone. Everything is very good but the battery life is 50/50.
Read the full review →Using this phone for three months now, the RAZR is generally a pretty good experience. While the pre-ICS skin wasn't the best, and had its fair share of bugs (Want to switch an app on the bottom row? It pauses for two to four seconds before showing you your options), the phone actually works...
Read the full review →Was torn between Bionic, Razr, iphone 4s at the time. Bionic was too bulky and dispay didn't seem as good. iphone didn't have 4g nor a decent size screen ( though very good for a smaller screen) also can't play flash video. But bottom line is the free apps available for android that work and...

Paranoia May Destroy Ya
dr. dr. help her please i know you'll understand there's a time device inside of me i'm a self-destructin' man there's a red, under my bed and there's a little green man in my head and said you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad 'cause there's a man in ya, knawin' ya, tearin' ya, into two -The Kinks
[Note: I realize that by publishing this, some of my friends, and others in the future, may wonder if I've gone off the deep end with conspiracy theory. This article is intended only to spark a discussion. This can't possibly be true. Right?]
updated at the bottom (12:11pm EST)
Premise: What if the FCC's dissolution of the UNE-P rules that force the Bell phone companies to share their infrastructure with potential competitive new entrants into the phone or ISP business aren't being killed because of extensive lobbying on the part of the Bells. What if this is part of the plans around Total Information Awareness that our friends at Homeland Security are cooking up for us. I'm not the only paranoid on the block, as Declan McCullagh has proposed a whole list of things TIA wants to do. [link from Smartmobs.com]
What if limiting the number of phone companies, and limiting the number of ISPs that provide Internet access is part of that plan. I'm crazy right? This is just bullshit, easily refuted. Read on.
On the bus this morning during my commute I was reading the chapter in Smart Mobs about how cooperative behaviour helped create, shape and develop the Internet. There was a discussion about the End-to-End arguement put forth by Dr. Reed, et.al. that
suggests that functions placed at low levels of a system may be redundant or of little value when compared with the cost of providing them at that low level ...The function in question can completely and correctly be implemented only with the knowledge and help of the application standing at the end points of the communication system. Therefore, providing that questioned function as a feature of the communication system itself is not possible.
Or, in more plain and less clear english, don't assume that you know how the users will use the network, just make the network work in the middle and let them figure out how to create the applications at the edges. A similar complimentary theory is put forth by David Isenberg's Stupid Network paper.
This has all been said before by folks smarter than me. The interesting part (hopefully for you) is that on another track in my mind I was thinking about why the FCC is limiting the access to Bell infrastructure, as described above. It doesn't make sense from an economic standpoint if you want in any way to encourage competition, increase the amount of broadband connections, and really bail out the industry. I can't (yet) back this up, but I bet that having lots of new local phone companies and ISPs in a post-telecom-boom world would help a lot of companies sell equipment, and stimulate our economy. Bruce writes that this proposal is deadly to thousands of small businesses. Why would a 'rational economic actor' cause this harm? Especially a regulatory agency that claims it wants to deregulate? It is obvious that the telecom wirelines are a natural monopoly, because until cell service gets a whole lot better, or wireless networking gets much more ubiquitous, we're stuck wtih it. (Note: I'm aware rationality is in the eye of the beholder, etc.)
But there are a whole lot of people acting irrationally in this post-Setember 11th, terror driven world we live in. Or acting rationally within their world view with less concern about how their actions would potentially harm future generations. Any number of people can be added to this list from Bin-Laden to Bush and on and on.
But assume for a second that eliminating the UNE-P rule is being done for nefarious homeland security reasons. How many ways does that leave us to communicate? There are 5 major cell providers, where at least 2 that I know are majority owned by the Bell companies (Verizon Wireless and Cingular, owned by SBC and Bell South). There are about 7 major cable companies that have the majority of cable/broadband subscribers. There are (increasing the paranoia level) only a few major entertainment companies, some of which own cable companies and large amounts of dial-up and broadband access gateways (AOL in particular). In this shrinking universe of consumers' choices it is a lot easier for a government to tap communications. I've heard lots of arguements regarding the impossibility of gathering all the traffic at MAE-EAST or a similar net choke point. But limiting the number of points of entry to the Internet gives the paranoid gov't agent a way to track those terrorists/you and me at more local, simpler connections.
The way the Stupid Network/End-to-End-Argument world is designed, people can always make new applications like Napster that no one pre-supposed, and communicate in a way of which central authorities don't approve. A way to 'subvert the arguement' is by limiting how the network is used, and by trying to take control of something that has traditionally never been able to be 'managed' by a central body.
(By the way, as long as we're being really paranoid, limiting the number of carriers and applications benefits Hollywood and the Music Industry as well. In this case Verizon is being sued by the RIAA to turn over the name of a terrorist, um, I mean a peer-to-peer software user who was allowing access to 600 songs. If there are fewer network providers for the RIAA and MPAA to sue in order to stop us from using peer-to-peer services, this works hand in hand with the goal of keeping terror information from flowing while embedded in graphics, songs or other innocent looking files.)
So what Total Information Awareness goal does limiting the number of phone companies and Internet access carriers accomplish?
I realize this is only a very rough arguement with a million holes and lots of ways for it to be refuted. I'm only throwing this out in hopes that folks with more time to debate this (See people like Mitch, Kevin, Dan, Doc, David, David, Bruce (all of whom I've emailed) or you) can pick it apart, advance it, or help me cure my paranoia with the appropriate drug surreptiously added to my local water supply by secret government agents in black helicopters.
By the way, If I disappear or start acting differently, you'll know I was right. ;-)
Update:Kevin and Mitch reply in email that they don't believe this is the case, and that throwing this out confuses the debate about this issue.
Kevin: There was a lively debate post-9/11 about whether what happened in Lower Manhattan proved that we need to strengthen the monopoly local carriers (Verizon's argument) or just the opposite, because diversity of networks allowed for greater resiliency and faster disaster recovery (the CLEC argument). It's important to continue fighting this battle. But the arguments will get much less credence if they are couched in terms of the TIA bogeyman.
A good response, which is why I asked in the first place.
