The Open Internet & the Freedom of Speech
The net is neutral now
The internet is basically neutral now and it desperately needs to stay that way. For democracies to thrive and grow, a free flow of uncensored information must flow into the marketplace of ideas, and let the market decide which ideas are good, and which are not.

Net is not neutral now
Net Neutrality- Another Government Bad Idea
Net Neutrality is free speech
Government should stick to the constitution, leave biz alone!
A Simple Principle for All Information Couriers
The net is NOT neutral now.
First of all, you don't have a choice on ISPs currently, as cable companies don't build on eachother's turf.
Second, if the cable company that you must get access through chooses to throttle your connection to sites based on financial interests... well, that flies in the faces of your statement that:
"a free flow of uncensored information must flow into the marketplace of ideas, and let the market decide which ideas are good, and which are not."
A free flow of information is all that net neutrality will acomplish.
"A free flow of information is all that net neutrality will acomplish."
That's all we can hope for at this moment.
These telecoms enjoy monopoly status because that was their incentive to increase their network infrastructure, which they haven't done.
"And let the free market decide..." It's not about ideas, it's about access. What if your monopoly ISP has a voip and blocks you from using Skype, for example? What it its parent corp has a for-profit heavy-bandwidth feature and it chooses to give you minimal bandwidth so it has more where it makes more money? THIS is what the rules are essentially about, not what your ideas are. And yes, you are absolutely correct that a free flow of uncensored information is essential. And we have to keep it that way, and regulate those who would change it.
Everybody has dialup and satellite options. Cable competes with DSL. In many areas there are plenty of DSL options.
Nobody has a right to the Internet.
But the Internet is now important to freedoms. We must not let the government get more involved in the Internet.
Dar, there is no healthy competiton in local markets for internet service providers. On average the various third-party DSL providers in a region cannot offer prices that match the provider that manages the telecom infrastructure in the area, due to over-inflated pricing by the ILEC (incumbent line exchange carrier... ala ATT, Verizon etc...) to access their network. So either people are forced to pay more, or settle with restricted access by the ILEC (if they even offer service in the area).
Cable companies cannot co-exist in most markets due to local agreements with the cities that host their cable lines.
Where is there competiton, where is there a free market? I see none.
The government has to be involved in this, because there is no one else who will take up this mantle. You think the companies are going to do it???? NO!
When we can plug our own modems in, or just connect to the internet directly to a card in our computer, that we can buy...
when there is as much competition to make those cards communicate faster as there is with hard drive capacity and video card rendering rates....
THEN we will be one step closer to a neutral internet.
it is the laws of physics that should be what slows us down--not the whims of some marketing panel in a cable or phone company.
We must keep the government out of the Internet business. Obama wants to control everything we do and if we let him take over the Internet too we will have no way left to communicate against the government.
actually the government is the ONLY entity that can stop the ISPS and monopoly phone companies from trying to control our internet as if it's theirs. if we allow comcast, at&t, verizon, cablevison, time warner and cox to take over our internet there will be no way left to communicate against them or the government... or anything.
If Verizon has Internet policies I don't like, I can go to AT&T. If I don't like Comcast, I go to Charter. If I get really fed up, I open my own Internet provider. Or the government takes over and our freedom is lost forever. Pretty easy call.
No, you can't, that is an outright misstatement, and you should research the market situation of the entire US.
Let me explain based on each point you made:
"If Verizon has Internet policies I don't like, I can go to AT&T." Not always true, in fact in a LOT of cities it is almost impossible. Verizon and ATT operate competing local DSL services, and generally only provide DSL, FIOS, or Fiber-to-the-node (Uverse) services to customers that reside in areas where they own control and regulate the telecom infrastructure of the area. In this situation they are called the Line Exchange Carrier, or LEC, which means they make ALL decisions about who can and can't use their networks. In very, very few markets do Verizon or ATT establish DSL service in their competitors' territory. No one outside of the telecom industry really knows why they don't short of unspoken agreements or prohibitive cost structures that prevent this. The LEC generally signs an agreement with the city, or property group to be responsible for repair and maintenance of a given telecom infrastructural area in zones the city has control over.
"If I don't like Comcast, I go to Charter."
This completely untrue. Cable TV providers almost never share infrastructure with each other. And like the case of the telecom companies, they also sign service network agreements to maintain and provide services for the infrastructure of a given city, or locale. I have never seen cable competition in the US like you speak of in most of the regions of the US I have been to, and I have been to, or worked in at least 25 states in the lower 48.
"If I get really fed up, I open my own Internet provider"
I wish you much luck with this. The cost of opening a provider can be expensive, and if you are going to be riding network of a LEC for DSL service, expect that the charges for providing said service are not going to be inexpensive at all. In fact, for most in the US, this is a near impossibility due to the fact of little to no credit to obtain loans, and the unlikelihood of obtaining a line of credit for a business due to current financial market conditions.
"Or the government takes over and our freedom is lost forever"
Simply solved, we vote corruption out of office, regardless of how tainted things are, as citizens are empowered and expected to vote our conscience. Network neutrality principles codified into policy, or law, will provide for freedom of speech. These companies that provide the communications pathways between individuals and society and general are essentially the gatekeepers of the information. In this case, the gatekeepers are holding the information hostage, or slowing it's freedom, by charging large tolls to those who would use it's services. Given the difference between improving the public good, and maintaining the bottom line, any properly functioning business will choose the bottom line... period. For these companies, restricting the flow of the internet makes for good profit... it does not make for freedom of speech.
Paid speech is not free speech.
Anyone against Network Neutrality must look forward to the day when America can match China. Instead of the Great Firewall of China, we will have the Great Paywall of AT&T.
If it is basically neutral right now that is because the FCC ruled against Comcast in limiting certain types of information. Look into the FCC vs Comcast. Might need to add bittorrent to the search to get the exact ruling I am talking about. What the FCC is doing is trying to codify there previous ruling so they don't have to go forever in court against corporate lawyers so you can use your internet access any way you want.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the right? When did corporate profit replace individual interest? Will anyone of you learn some economics? We do not live in a world with completely competitive markets. We are stuck with ogopolistic competition, which every once in a great while breaks out in a price war and we get the actual competitive cost of a product.
There is nor "marketplace" for ISPs. I have ONE option, count them, ONE for my ISP. That is AT&T.
We lose all freedom if Obama takes over access to the Internet. Now we can chose cable, DSL, Satellite (Hughes Net), WAN (Clearwire) or Cellular (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon), The choices are many and competition makes for constant innovation. My speed has been increased three times in the past two years with no increase in price. Keep the government away from the Internet.
wdcraven - yeah - you are craven...
cravenly in denial of the problem
cravenly ignorant of technology
cravenly ideological
cravenly willing to stoop to obvious brainwashing by corporate interests
Are you cravin' to have some company tell you you cannot access your favorite political brainwashing site because the originating server is not on their network and that company has refused to pay their ridiculous transit fee?
How would you feel if you tried to call someone who was on a Verizon landline from an AT&T landline and Verizon refused to complete the call until you agreed to pay them so much per minute first?
Keep on cravin' to get banged from behind and you and your uninformed ilk will have us all bending over soon.

Visited as part of a Red Letter Day purchased for us. Accommodation was great. Staff were friendly. Drinks were of good quality and reasonably priced. Food was ok and as expected in a hotel of this type. Only criticism is lack of knowledge of waiter and barmaid, the latter not knowing the difference between the wines on offer. Surely a part of basic training. On the other hand the Head Waitress was brilliant when helping us chose food as my wife has an allergy. Worth a visit less
We stayed at the hotel for a wedding and were impressed by the service, food and venue for the event.
Unfortunately our room was quite worn out and didn't live up to the rest of the hotel facilities. We felt it was overpriced at £114 B&B considering the room was so tired.
Breakfast service was also very slow (we waited 50 mins for our breakfast to arrive after ordering). The staff were obviously overstretched and the hotel probably needs to employ more people to work over breakfast service.
We had a good stay and the wedding was fantastic, just let down by the room. less
My boyfriend brought me here for a surprise birthday treat, and we had a fantastic time. The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Full breakfast was included and there was plenty of choice each morning. We had a full English both mornings, but there was a large choice of cereals / Danish pastries / fruit / juices and yoghurts also available. There were other places available to eat locally but we ate at the hotel both nights. I had a main which was made up of three different pieces of lamb, and I would recommend it to anyone. It was lovely. The meals available were all very nice, although the menu was a bit limited. As we only stayed two nights, we didn't have too much difficulty choosing a varied menu. The hotel staff were very helpful, and the evening staff in particular, were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is situated in a good location for shopping / sightseeing / walking, and is definitely worth a visit. less
We stayed for a couple of nights on our way through to Yorkshire. Nice hotel, but after being given three rooms, all still occupied we eventually had one to call our own.
Dinner ? Forget it. Vegetables not cooked, creamed potato out of a packet and coffee that was brown and warm - say no more. For a bad meal it was very expensive as well. Breakfast next day appalling, very little on the continental table and staff saying there was no more. less
I have stayed a couple of times at this hotel whilst on business locally. The first visit was for one night and the second visit was for a whole week. The hotel and grounds are really beautiful. It was a joy to watch the squirrels jump around the gardens from the breakfast table. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is good with plenty choice. Both times I stayed my room was in the modern part of the building. The room was fine. It was clean and reasonably spacious and everything worked for me especially the wifi. I would have loved to have a room in the old part ..... maybe next time. The public areas are very nice and tastefully decorated. The bar can be a bit noisy sometimes (once out of my six nights there) but there is a quiet room in which you can chill out and enjoy your refreshments. I would certainly go back to this hotel in the future. less

PORTLAND Back-to-school shopping can be one of the most expensive times of the year for families, according to some analysts. But a new online tool is helping parents cut costs.
Jean Rothman, a Portland-area mother of two, said back-to-school shopping is a big financial burden for her.
It could be up in the hundreds if you re getting the electronic supplies and the new backpacks and new lunchboxes and everything every year, Rothman said.
Instead of having to search for coupons, the website PriceBlink.com allows shoppers to instantly compare prices on items from jeans to calculators.
Pretty much every category you can imagine where there s online shopping, we cover it, said Karl Quist, president of PriceBlink.com. Quist said the company makes money through retail partnerships, which allows the site to remain free for shoppers.
According to Rothman, another benefit to the site is time savings. I don t like spending a lot of time shopping. The kids don t like shopping, she said.
The company claims shoppers using the site can save up to 20 percent. With families expected to average $690 in back-to-school spending this year, that 20 percent means a savings of nearly $150.

Monday - 10/4/2010, 8:30am EDT
The now-famous Stuxnet's internet worm is living long after its creators intended, researchers say. Computerworld reports, the worm's inability to stay hidden until now may be a result of its failure to hit its intended targets. Stuxnet was was designed to infiltrate industrial control programs for factories and process plans. Lauched last year, it was supposed to hit the targets and stop there. That leads researcher Roel Schouwenberg of Kaspersky Labs to believe it missed its target and kept going. Liam Murchu of Symantec agrees Stuxnet was never meant to spread so far. Both bot-hunters say Stuxnet's sophistication indicates it was built by a well financed, highly skilled team.

Moore among early leaders at Riviera
LOS ANGELES (AP) Ryan Moore had enough good par saves and birdies for a 3-under 68 on Friday to take the early lead in the Northern Trust Open.

Judge orders their release on bail until final disposal of appeal
MADURAI: The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday suspended the sentence imposed on 25 convicts in the Imam Ali escape case.
Ordering their release on bail until final disposal of the appeal against the conviction, Justice G. Rajasuria directed all of them to stay in Chennai and appear daily before the special investigation team of the Crime Branch-CID.
Prosecution counsel did not object to granting of conditional bail.
Though the Additional Sessions-cum-Fast Track Court III here had convicted 37 persons, only 32 preferred to challenge the conviction. In the meantime, seven of the 32 were released from jail as they had completed their punishment period.According to the prosecution, these convicts rescued two hardcore fundamentalists, Imam Ali and Hyder Ali, from police custody on March 7, 2002. The duo was picked up from the Tirumangalam police station near here after an intense exchange of fire. Country-made bombs were lobbed at the police station injuring two policemen.
The Sessions Court, on January 10, found all of them guilty under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Explosives Substances Act, the Arms Act and the Tamil Nadu Public Property Damages and Losses Act. While all 37 were sentenced to undergo five years imprisonment, seven of them were awarded seven years rigorous imprisonment.

Bella Hardy & The Midnight Watch, John Grant and Gary Numan all play Cambridge Junction
Posted: June 16, 2014|
Cambridge Junction has three nights of really quite ace live music to dip into. Take your pick…
Bella Hardy & The Midnight Watch, Saturday, June 21 at 8pm. Tickets £13.
After being nominated four times, Bella Hardy finally won the prestigious title of BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2014, so she must be doing something right.
To mark Bob Dylan's 73rd and Queen Victoria's 195th birthdays, as well as her own milestone (30), Hardy is visiting Cambridge Junction on a 30 date tour of her favourite venues and playing tracks from all six of her albums, including 2013's Battleplan. Expect folky storytelling and expert fiddle playing.
Gary Numan, Tuesday, June 24 at 7pm. Tickets £28.50.
Seventies and 80s cult musician Gary Numan may be passed his heyday but he's still going strong – to be fair, he once had an "army" of fans called the Numanoids following him about.
Having topped the charts internationally with Are 'Friends' Electric? and Cars, he's now steadily performing solo, marching from town to town laden with synth hooks and guitar effect pedals. Oh, and his obligatory heavy black eyeliner.
John Grant, Wednesday, June 25 at 7pm. Tickets £20.50.
Bearded and stony-eyed, Denver born John Grant fronted American alt-rock band The Czars way back when before going solo in 2010. His debut solo album – Queen of Denmark – was a massive hit and detailed his struggles with drugs and alcohol. Since then his solo career has been going marvellously well, even supporting The Flaming Lips on tour – if that isn't a reliable recommendation, what is?
All tickets from (01223) 511511 / junction.co.uk.

Governor urged to intervene and set things right
Odisha Soochana Adhikar Abhijan (OSAA), a State-level forum of Right To Information Act activists, has urged newly appointed Governor S.C. Jamir to look into the functioning of the State Information Commission (SIC).
A delegation of OSSA recently met Mr. Jamir and drew his attention the alleged inconsistency of SIC and demanded removal of information commissioners.
"The functioning of the commission appears to be authoritarian and colonial. We draw attention of the Governor on issues like less two hour of hearing of cases in a day, hearing of limited number of cases (8 to 10) per day, taking suo moto summer vacation and puja vacation leave, drafting the decisions and making letter correspondence with illiterate people in English even though Odia is the State language, misbehaving with RTI complainants during hearing and threatening them to arrest, filing defamation cases against the citizens in lower court," said Pradip Pradhan, OSAA member. Mr. Pradhan alleged that many of the commissioners were ignorant of the provisions of RTI Act. The delegates demanded immediate enquiry into all complaint cases filed in the office of the Governor under Section 17 of the RTI Act since 2006 and review of the questionable decisions of SIC.
The forum appealed to the Governor to direct the commission not to take summer vacation and puja vacation leave. Their other demands include drafting of all decisions in Odia language, no vindictive litigation against RTI activists and resuming the hearing of about 7000 cases, which were reportedly closed by the commission without any hearing.

-Large Study Shows Benefits Differ from those in Adults-
PHILADELPHIA, May 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Corticosteroids given to children who are hospitalized for bacterial meningitis do not provide a benefit in survival or in reduced hospital stays, according to a large multicenter study by pediatric researchers. This finding stands in contrast to previous studies in hospitalized adults, for whom corticosteroids dramatically reduced mortality.
"Because of the demonstrated benefits of these drugs in adults, physicians have increasingly been using corticosteroids in children with bacterial meningitis," said study leader Samir S. Shah, M.D., an infectious diseases specialist from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "This study reminds us again that children are not just small adults. We need to consider whether the problems associated with corticosteroid use, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, outweigh any potential benefits."
He added that further research should analyze whether corticosteroids may provide other benefits to children, such as improved neurological outcomes among survivors, a question not considered in this study.
The study appears in the May 7 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Shah's team analyzed medical records of 2,780 children with bacterial meningitis at 27 U.S. pediatric hospitals from 2001 to 2006. The median age of the children was nine months. Approximately 9 percent, or 248, of the children studied received corticosteroids, with steroid use doubling during the study period, from under 6 percent of children in 2001 to 12 percent in 2006.
There was no significant difference in mortality nor in time to
hospital discharge, between children who received corticosteroids and those
who did not. Overall, unadjusted mortality rates were 6 percent among
children receiving corticosteroids, versus 4 percent among those not
receiving them. There also was no s

I had previously removed the old icemaker and water inlet valve, which is installed at the back of the frig. Once I figured out the valve worked fine, I ordered the new icemaker kit (which contained a new valve anyway!!)Installation was easy. I plugged in the icemaker wire harness, making sure the icemaker arm was in the up or 'off' position, installed three screws and put the ice tray back in place. The fun was re-installing the inlet valve. Make sure, if you have plastic tubing and have to disconnect it, that you have extra tubing hardware (nuts, ferrules, and inserts). Oh, and remember to reconnect the tube that runs from the valve to the freezer. Otherwise, you get a nice puddle of water on the floor when you turn the water back on!

About the Owner
We are a family who enjoys hiking in scenic areas. Utah for us is like heaven and a good place to spend good quality family time. Purchasing a vacation home there is one of the best things we have done. My family can now go there and stay in a beautiful home and make day trips to all the local parks and attractions.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I went to Zion for a vacation retreat with my work. We stayed for five days at the amazing home of Susan. My group and I checked into the Ponderosa ranch for trails to hike from the house. We were able to do a 9 mile hike from the ponderosa and drop down into Zion National Park at the Lodge. We were able to work it out with the Ponderosa Ranch for a fee that they would send a van to pick us up. The hike was one of the most amazing ways to enter the park from up above. Each one of us were amazed by the scenery, the wildlife and the challenge of the hike.
When were we back at the house, we all enjoyed a soak in the hot tub, a refreshment and a good BBQ.
The house is very beautiful and the beds are so comfortable. We will definitely come back for a week of hiking. Great house for our crowd.
Thanks Susan

Although I contacted Ponderosa prior to arriving and they indicated we would be treated as if it were rented through them, except that the swimming would be a additional cost, when we arrived and were prepared to pay the additional amount, Kylie at the Ponderosa desk said that we would be treated as if we were Ponderosa guests and were given free wrist bands for the swimming pool and the other activities which are free to Ponderosa guests.
Great time at East Zion

"While traveling to Zion my family and I stayed in a home off the VRBO listing in Zion. I have a large family and the home experience was wonderful. We were able to travel to many destinations and come home and relax and cook and the kids could play. We love to hike and find Utah to be extremely amazing. Therefore we bought a home for larger gatherings so people could relax and enjoy the parks experience as we did."
Activity and Interests
You can leave the house and hike from the Ponderosa on a 3 hour hike and end it at the lodge in Zion Park. It is definitey a challenging hike and not for people afraid of heights. Also enjoy endless ATV trails right out the front door

These are incredible- I don't know how they work so well, but they work *really* well. I was skeptical when I bought one but it took out an amazing amount of fur with every stroke. My dog was underwhelmed- she chewed the handle at the first opportunity, making sure I would buy a second one for her.
Pros: Good beans
Cons: no

4 years in, Madoff trustee still pursuing assets
Monday - 12/10/2012, 12:14pm EST
NEW YORK (AP) - One of the lawyers chasing the assets of jailed Ponzi king Bernard Madoff remembers a day four years ago when he didn't know who Madoff was.
David Sheehan has spent nearly every day since trying to recover as much as possible of the $17.5 billion in losses calculated since Madoff was arrested on Dec. 11, 2008.
He's the chief counsel for the trustee tasked with recovering the losses. They have secured nearly $9.3 billion so far and hope to collect at least $3 billion more.
If all goes as planned, he says the losses will be cut to around $5 billion of the original amounts thousands of investors put into Madoff's sham investment business.
Sheehan says it's more than they thought possible when they started four years ago.

Now we hittin' switches 'til the Spring Break, Cancun
from Game (Ft. Lil Wayne) – Red Nation Lyrics on Genius
Lowriders can be customized with hydraulic switches to bounce the right way. It would be pretty hard to go all the way to Cancun (the popular Spring Break destination on the EAST Coast of Mexico) in one of those cars though.
Also, if you "hit switches" too much in a car with hydraulics the "springs" might "break." Spring Break is a play on words, in this case referencing the springs of a car which make hydraulics possible.

A department within Student Affairs
Disclosing your Disability
>> Disclosing your specific disability is not necessary. However, you must describe how it affects your learning. This helps instructors understand why you need an accommodation. Also, remember to use person-first language.
>> How can I help you?
>> I wanted to schedule a meeting with you just to touch base. I have a learning disability and I just wanted to make sure we are on the same page about how it might affect me within your class.
>> Okay.
>> Well, the learning disability I have makes it particularly hard for me to take notes while listening to your lecture at the same time. And I also have difficulties completing test to the best of my ability within a smaller allotted class timeframe.
>> Okay.
>> Simply saying to the professor "I have a disability" doesn't convey to the professor how that affects the student's performance in class.
>> It's important for the faculty member to learn their functional limitations so the faculty member can help the student access all the learning resources for the course.
>> I take the approach that to assume nothing and to pretend I know absolutely nothing, and when a student does tell me that they have a disability, I ask them what it is that they need.
>> The student needs to be more forthcoming with not necessarily what the disability is, but what it means.
>> For that professor, if they can't sometimes see the disability, then they don't really understand. So that's why they need that explanation of how it impacts their learning.
>> What I wanted to talk to you about was the disability that I have.
>> Really? I never noticed that you had a disability.
>> Well, you can't see the disability that I do have, but, like I said, I do have a disability that affects my performance in classes.
>> Okay.
>> Sometimes I have trouble paying attention because I feel a lot of anxiety in class. When we are talking about exams and assignments I tend to get agitated a little, just because the stress they produce for me.
>> That's understandable.
>> So I try to talk to my professors at the start of each semester just to fill them in and let them know that I do have a disability and let them know that it does sometimes affect, you know, my performance in their classes.
>> Okay. That's fine. And actually I'm glad you came to talk to me because you are the first student that I've had do this. So this is good for me and I'm glad that you felt comfortable enough to come do this.
>> It's important when you speak with your professors to use person-first language and terminology, because if you go in and state "Hi, I'm Becky, I am such and such," like, using a term that relates your disability as to that is who you are, it gives people the impression that you are your disability.
>> Not the kid in the wheelchair, but Alex who has a wheelchair as well. I don't know, I mean, it's just kind of along the lines of being an individual.
>> A lot of people don't like to say that they have a learning disability, you can say it's a difference, it's a difficulty, et cetera, et cetera. So, saying I have a learning disability and this is how it could affect me in dealing with a disability outside of just you. You are not putting that label on yourself; you are not forever wearing the label of the learning disabled student in the class.
>> My experience over the years has been that, it's just that, it's how you come to identify yourself most.

Wis. Supreme Court upholds controversial union law
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin's polarizing union rights law is set to take effect on June 29 after the state Supreme Court determined that a judge overstepped her authority when she voided the governor's plan to strip most public workers of their collective bargaining rights.
The ruling Tuesday evening was a major victory for Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who said the law was needed to help address the state's $3.6 billion budget shortfall. His proposal - which drew tens of thousands of demonstrators to the state Capitol for weeks earlier this year - thrust Wisconsin to the forefront of a national debate over labor rights.
In a 4-3 decision that included a blistering dissent, the Supreme Court ruled that Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi overstepped when she declared the law void last month. Sumi sided with a lawsuit that claimed Republicans didn't provide proper public notice of a meeting that helped get the original legislation approved after Democratic senators fled the state to prevent a vote.
Walker claimed that the law, which also requires public employees to pay more for their health care and pensions, would give local governments enough flexibility on labor costs to deal with deep cuts to state aid. Democrats saw it as an attack on public employee unions, which usually back their party's candidates.
"The Supreme Court's ruling provides our state the opportunity to move forward together and focus on getting Wisconsin working again," Walker said in a one-sentence statement Tuesday.
Union leaders blasted the court's decision. Phil Neuenfeldt, president of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, called it "an affront to our democracy."
An avalanche of lawsuits is expected, because legal challenges couldn't be brought until the law took effect.
In vacating Sumi's ruling, the Supreme Court ruled the judge had "usurped the legislative power which the Wisconsin Constitution grants exclusively to the legislature." The court also rejected arguments that Republicans violated Wisconsin's open meetings law.
"The doors of the Senate and Assembly were kept open to the press and members of the public ... access was not denied," according to the majority opinion.
In a fiery dissent, Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson wrote that justices hastily reached the decision and the majority "set forth their own version of facts without evidence. They should not engage in this disinformation."
Abrahamson also said a concurring opinion written by Justice David Prosser - a former Republican speaker of the Assembly - was "long on rhetoric and long on story-telling that appears to have a partisan slant."
Secretary of State Doug La Follette said Wednesday that he would publish the law on June 28, which means it will take effect on June 29. There were no plans to apply paycheck deductions retroactively, said Rep. Robin Vos, co-chairman of the Legislature's budget committee. Walker's top aide, Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch, said the ruling was being reviewed.
Many school districts and other public entities reached new union contracts before the ruling, and collective bargaining rights were curtailed.
The fight stemmed from a lawsuit that claimed Republicans violated state law by not providing proper public notice of a meeting in March, a month after the legislation was introduced.

Titanfall on the Xbox 360 will be first class says MS exec
We all know that Titanfall has launched officially this week for the PC and Xbox One game console. Gaming PCs typically have hardware inside to support a great graphics experience for the game and the Xbox One certainly has the hardware for a next gen experience with the game.
Gamers looking forward to the Xbox 360 version may be worried that the older console will mean they have to give up some of the great visuals the game has. Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi says that the version of Titanfall for the Xbox 360 will be a first class experience. The 360 version of the game is being developed by Bluepoint Games and is set for launch on March 25.
The Xbox 360 version of the game was supposed to launch this week along with the PC and Xbox One versions. The launch of the 360 versions was delayed so that Bluepoint could "put the finishing touches on the game."

Titanfall's 48GB install on PC is filled with 35GB of audio
When we reported about the mammoth installation of Titanfall on the PC, we wondered what could be so big that it warranted a 48GB installation. Well, that 48GB install is filled with a massive 35GB of uncompressed audio.
The installation of Titanfall on the Xbox One weighs in at just 17GB, so jumping up to 48GB on the PC is quite ridiculous. Respawn decided to give PC gamers uncompressed audio, to account for less powerful hardware configurations. This is due to the large amount of dual-core machines, which just meet the minimum requirements on PC for Titanfall.
Respawn's Lead Engineer, Richard Baker, said that "a two-core machine would dedicate a huge chunk of one core to just decompressing audio," so the studio decided to go for uncompressed audio, in order to squeeze more performance out of the slower machines. This comes at the cost of 35GB, which is quite the chunk of hard drive space.
Gran Turismo 6 now features multi-monitor support
An update has been pushed out for Polyphony Digital's mega hit PlayStation 3-exclusive, Gran Turismo 6, which adds an incredible new feature: multi-monitor support.
Some new features have also been baked into GT6's latest patch, including a car search feature to find vehicles using specific options, and open lobby changes including Time Trial, Drift Trial and Free Run. We also have the usual improvements and adjustments, such as brake balance and traction control. The multi-monitor capabilities baked into GT6's update 1.05 can be accessed through the game's display options.
Xbox Live outage lasts five hours as Titanfall launches
Titanfall launched yesterday, a game that Microsoft was heavily invested in, but it looks like the company unfortunately experienced some issues during its launch with Xbox Live experiencing some serious downtime.
Microsoft's gaming network had gamers unable to sign into their consoles to play Respawn Entertainment's first game, a game that was quite the make-or-break it title for the company's next-gen console. Titanfall is a multiplayer-only game, which is another headache in itself, as all play with the game requires Xbox Live. The tutorial can't even be played without an Internet connection.
The official Xbox Support Twitter account has tweeted: "Thanks for your patience, Xbox Live is good to go! Try these specific steps to get back in the game now." So it looks like it's all good now, but it's not a first good step for Microsoft and Titanfall.
Tetris to be played on a 29-story building in Philadelphia
During next week's Philly Tech Week, Tetris will be played on the city's 29-story Cira Centre as screens. Frank Lee, a professor at Drexel University and founder of the school's Entrepreneurial Game Studio, is continuing what he did last year.
Last year, with the help of Brandywine Realty Trust, the company who owns the Cira Centre, played a special version of Pong on the side of the building. It happened during mid-April, when Philly Tech Week 2013 took place, setting a Guinness World Record for "Largest Architectural Video Game Display."
The massive game of Pong used 460 LEDs on one side of the building, taking up a giant 59,800 square feet of space. Lee's version of Tetris will take place on both the north- and south-facing walls of the building, expanding over a space of more than 100,000 square feet. Lee said in a press release: "One regret that I had was that we only used one side of the building. So it was only visible to half of the city. This year, I wanted to find a way to use all sides of the building and truly created an aesthetic of a unique and fleeting moment shared by all the people in Philadelphia."
This will all take place during Philly Tech Week 2014, which runs between April 4-12.
The Witcher 3 gets delayed, new release date of February 2015
CD Projekt Red has some bad news for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, that it has been delayed until February 2015. The studio had originally pinned the release of the game for 2014, but the game is still in a technically "unfinished" state.
The delay comes at a time when the studio talked about other game studios bragging about the performance in their games when in an unfinished state, so maybe this delay has something to do with it. CD Projekt Red won't just release a game of this scale in an unfinished state, so some more time for the vast title is obviously needed, and welcomed.
The studio's official board members talked about the delay, saying they weren't happy with the game's overall quality and projected release date, as it wouldn't give them enough time to provide gamers with The Witcher 3 that the studio had originally envisioned: "We recently re-examined what we had achieved thus far, and faced a choice about the game's final release date. The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious."

Crytek expected to announce CryEngine for Linux next week at GDC
Linux is getting another boost when it comes to mainstream gaming in the form of the CryEngine from Crytek. Next week during the 2014 Game Developers Conference, Crytek is expected to officially announce that it has successfully ported its CryEngine over to Linux, and will be updating Crysis 3 to run on SteamOS.
News that Crytek has been working on porting its game engine to Linux have been popping up since last July, and with major Linux and SteamOS announcements expected for next week during GDC it is only logical that the company make the announcement. We suspect that all three Crysis games will hit SteamOS as well as other games running on the CryEngine such as Ryse: Son of Rome, the Farcry series, Homefront 2 and even Star Citizen could arrive on Steam Machines everywhere thanks to this.
Titanfall now available for download on PC and Xbox One
This morning, Microsoft released one of the most anticipated games of 2014 to the world. Titanfall has been described as Halo for the next generation of gamers, as well as Call of Duty evolved, and Microsoft is billing it as the best FPS to hit the Xbox One since launch. Everything did not go smoothly though, and the Electronic Arts distributed game experienced connection issues which prompted EA to issue a patch just hours after the the game launched.
Just minutes after the game went live, both PC players and Xbox One owners who had pre-loaded the game began to experience connection issues which saw them stuck on the "initializing screen." This issue is quite similar to what Diablo 3, Sim City and Battlefield 4 users experienced on launch day as well. Fortunately, EA issued a 380MB patch around 2AM that has seemed to fix the issue.
The issue is not related to EA's servers though as the game is the first to be hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud servers, which is able to scale up based on the amount of load the system is experiencing. EA says that some of the issues stemmed from a network issue with those using Belkin routers, which is fixed by players opening some ports in the routers admin panel. Titanfall is available on Origin and Xbox Live for $59.99.

Geomagnetic field: Westward drift
- R. Thompson
- … show all 1 hide
The westerly drift of the Earth's magnetic field was first described by Edmund Halley in 1692. Halley noted that many of the changes in the field that had been observed in the previous century, such as the shift in the position of no variation from Cape d'Agulhas to the meridian of St. Helena (about 23° in 90 years), could be accounted for by a slow westward rotation of the internal part of the Earth, Halley's suggestion of a westward drift has since proved to be remarkably foresighted as magnetic field features have continued to move westward during the succeeding three centuries. Furthermore, as a result of theoretical calculations, the source of the field is now widely attributed to dynamo action in the Earth's fluid core with part of the core bodily moving westward carrying features of the field alongwith it as part of the dynamo process. Alternatively the westward drift may be associated with hydro-magnetic wave propagation inside the core, again as par ...
