I agree, but it only takes one thoughtful person who puts in the keyword
to make the entire thread accessible. For example, let's say you post a
message about IRQs and forget to put in keywords. And let's say a bunch
of people posts a reply but only Peter's reply has the keywords in it.
Then only Peter's reply will be available to me during the keyword search.
BUT I'll be able to crawl up and down the thread from Peter's message, so
it's like having the entire thread searchable just by one person adding
the keywords to a single message on the thread.

Without 'Net neutrality,' will consumers pay twice?

Bill launched to overhaul broadband rulesJuly 27, 2005
Vonage says broadband provider blocks its callsFebruary 14, 2005
On Tuesday the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation is holding a hearing to discuss the issue. Companies such as Amazon.com, eBay, Google and Microsoft are pushing congressional leaders to draft legislation that calls for "network neutrality," which would bar phone companies and cable operators from picking favorites.
The carriers, not surprisingly, strongly oppose any legislation that would limit their ability to charge for carrying content on their network. They believe that a so-called tiered service model will let them deliver new services, such as video, more efficiently and more cheaply to consumers.
No broadband provider at this point has started charging Internet companies for delivering content. And so far, none of them has proposed outright blocking of traffic. But some experts fear that if broadband providers are given free rein, they could impose Internet traffic restrictions: The customers of companies that refuse to pay for premium network access will have such poor quality service, consumers will be forced to go elsewhere.
In the end, these experts say, this will lead to fewer choices for consumers. They also say it will increase the cost of delivering those services and content.
"It seems to me that if broadband operators are charging Google and Amazon for the use of their network, then those costs will automatically get passed on to consumers," said Gigi Sohn, president and co-founder of Public Knowledge, a Beltway advocacy group. "And ultimately that will lead to higher prices for consumers."
To understand how consumers will be affected by broadband providers prioritizing and charging fees for delivering applications and content, one first has to understand how the Internet works.
Content that travels over the Internet is chopped into "packets." The Internet is designed so that these packets can travel through multiple paths to get to their destination. Some packets go one way while others go a different way. Then they're reassembled at the end.
While the packets travel through the network, they can face congestion and get slowed down. They can be dropped, forcing the sender to resend them. Sometimes this seemingly haphazard approach causes delays. It's usually not a big deal for most data applications, such as e-mail. But for time-sensitive data, like telephony or video, delays can degrade the user's experience.
As broadband providers, AT&T, BellSouth and Verizon Communications can control the flow of traffic in their network. They can give certain packets priority in the network over other packets, helping guarantee a better user experience.
Broadband providers reject the notion that prioritizing some traffic will inherently hurt the performance of nonprioritized traffic. In fact, they argue the opposite will happen because prioritizing some traffic is like opening an "express lane" on the highway, which ultimately keeps all traffic flowing.
"We are building a fifth lane on a four-lane highway," said Dave Pacholczyk, a spokesman for AT&T. "If you offer a high-occupancy

The building a 'fifth' lane is BS...what you are doing is taking the same 4 lanes and making them 5..therefore the other lanes are smaller. If the pipe providers want more revenue from content build a new private lane that is seperate from the existing and charge isps or websites exclusive for exclusive use of it (after providing guarantee about minimum speed and bandwith availibility)...stay off the current highway (you are already charging for that)

That would create Yet Another Government Run Monopoly. The Government never makes such activities better except when it breaks up monopolies.

- fair competition?
- Most economists would agree that monopolies can give better service in some situations, but worse in others. This is one area where such a move is not only technologically unfeasible, but simply not in the interest of the consumer. Many markets have competition between Telcos and Cable operators. If nationalization were to occur the government, to keep costs down, would choose one infrastructure and close the other. Next they would set a "fair" amount of bandwith, say 256K. That might be great for some, horrible for others. Lets not even get into the implications of how this would affect content providers wanting more bandwith. The government simply isn't structured to manage something like this. I know, you'll probably cite cities that have attempted to build fiber networks then market them to the public - they've been rule illegal, so we haven't seen how efficient they can be.

- That's "PUSH-side Economic" thinking
- Where artificial scarsecity costs the 'consumer' more and more up until it actually becomes cheaper for them to set up their own infrastructure.
While the monopolist/oligopolists extract the maximum revenue, the rest of the economy goes begging.
How much do you think all of this would cost, if it were even available, if AT&T & the world-wide monopolies hadn't been broken up?
When a dependable 300 baud modem was unavailable for less than $1,000 a month, and only to my office. When my monthly bill for telecom to a text only service exceeded $900.00CDN.
And the internet revolution happened OVER THE VERY SAME WIRES, so its not because of massive changes to the infrastructure that we have paid for, time and time again.
It is in fact very short-sighted, single quarter thinking, the kind that results in most governments and business going in for rhynoplasty to spite their faces, and which would stop the NYSE and the NASDAC by preventing their customers from dealing with those institutions unless BOTH were willing a pay a premium.
The only places left to look for the results of such thinking are in the extreme 'push-side' economies left on the planet: North Korea, Haiti, Afghanistan 'under the Taliban' various African tribal regimes.
Basically any economic unit where economies of scale are stopped regardless of whether the reason is economic, political or religious ideology, because there is more money to be made or power to be brokered by a few individual entities, if only they could 'slown it all down.'

Think about it, if the ISPs really wanted to improve service for the customers, they'd increase the general connection speed and improve prices, instead of scamming web sites like this.
Also, this will do the opposite of allowing the net to evolve. Entrepreneurs will be discouraged from creating new web sites, since to be used they'd need to pay extra for service.

- well....
- I think that your reasoning is all wrong:
By the same argument, we should be regulating speed of PCs in the interest of "neutrality"... maybe we shouldn't let Google be "too good"...
The idea of Net Neutrality is not to regulate businesses from providing better service but to insure that the 'individuality' of the various parts of the web (be they companies or personal web sites) are treated equal.
Also, if I am paying $52.99 a month for 9 MBPS down and 1 MBPS up unlimited transfer then that is bandwidth that has been SOLD TO ME. If I decide to use that bandwidth for Video or for email and chat then that is MY decision. If I want to 'split' my bandwidth by multitasking then that is my choice as well.
Further, the ISP's have all the incentive in the world to upgrade their systems. It's called competeting for customers. If Broadband_A offers 'more better' than Broadband_B then the choices are pretty clear... for customers and ISPs.
As for content providers it works the same for them. If SciFi.com started streaming their movies but didn't have enough bandwidth of their own then their product would suffer. So they too ALREADY have incentive to improve also.
The real question is:
When you pay for a certain broadband speed and want to visit a website that DOES NOT 'bribe' your isp for bandwidth, even though the site has the broadband capabilities to deliver their content to you, are YOU going to be upset:
1. At the website for not paying this payola for their content to be provided enough of YOUR (paid for!) bandwidth?
2. The isp for stopping you from receiving the data you requested (on bandwidth that they already sold you) because this site wouldn't pay them to give YOU what YOU requested?
3. Yourself for agreeing that these isp's should have a right to limit what you receive on lines you are paying for?

- These are the monopolists who want the entire Internet free from taxation
- The GAO recently opined that the "internet backbone," which these carriers lobbied intensely to keep free from state taxation in 2003 and 2004, should be available for the states to tax. When the Baby Bell cartel asks again to keep their provision of Internet access free in 2007, when the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act expires, one hopes that their hypocrisy will be thrown back in their collective faces. Either way, it looks like pricing is going up for users. Has Comcast or any other cable provider demanded this tariff from content providers? If not, consider the switch to cable high speed. Verizon's DSL is abysmally slow at times and very hit-or-miss in terms of availability, in my experience.

- In the US, broadband and telecom companies are already ripping us off big time. Compared to the rest of the developed world, our broadband really is terrible. It's poor quality, it's extremely slow, and it costs WAY too much.
In many places in Europe and Asia, they have relatively cheap 25-100 mbps DSL. The reason Canada, Europe, and Asia have such better service is because they view high-speed internet as a public good and don't allow ISPs to engage in monopolistic behavior (like this).
Charging sites for this service won't help consumers in any way. These greedy monopolies should absolutely not be allowed to do this, regardless of what BS they use to justify it.
If they really did care about improving service, they'd increase our connection speed dramatically, the actual mbps rate. This would be for all of the internet, not just web sites that agree to be scammed like this.

- You obviosly don't have the intelligence to understand what a monopoly is. This means that you as a consumer do not have a choice but to use 1 single service from 1 single company. i.e. the government controled "public good" internet you reffer to in your post. In the US we have many choices to get broadband. I live in Littleton, CO and I have at least 3 that I know of. This is called capitalism and it's what the US was founded on. If u don't like what choices are available to you and being the type of person who wants a premium service for free you should leave the US and take your socialist, crybaby attitude elseware.
The consumer should pay. If u want 3 Mbps vs. 1.5 Mbps YOU should pay. The maket should decide what the consumer will and won't pay. In denver Qwest has dramatically increased their DSL speeds to compete more heavily with Comcast and others and the price for either is certainly more than reasonable.

- ""What I worry about is that if we have mandated network neutrality that consumers will miss out on some enhanced functionality being developed by the phone or cable companies," said Kyle Dixon, a senior fellow and director at the The Progress and Freedom Foundation. "Fears of market dominance aren't to be dismissed, but I think there is a risk in assuming that there will be a market power problem before there really is one."'
Mandated network neutrality will allow all of us to continue to enjoy the net as it is today. Missing out on functionality is in the hands of the network providers who don't seem to be able to offer what consumers in other countries already get, HIGHER SPEEDS. They some how can't seem to squeeze 3-5mbs out of the same network that, for example, the Canucks can. Why is that? It's because they want to SUCK every penny the can out of the consumers, and this is just one more attempt at it.
Too bad that independant providers like Digex and PSINet are either no longer around or out of business. Then this wouldn't be happening.
The whole basis of the internet is that of neutrality.
If the network providers want to offer higher speeds to consumers then do so, and charge what consumers in other countries are being charged for that higher speed than we are getting. Which, oh by the way, is the same as they are charging for the crappy slow service they are currently giving us.
Enjoy the net while you can, these guys are out to bring it down.

- I just discovered this. Please look at the web site www.teletruth.org
It tells about how the major telecom companies have been scamming the american consumer for the past decade or more. They promised to roll out major fiber optic connections for America in the early '90s, each 45 mbps both ways. In return the gov't let them have 200 billion dollars that we, Americans, paid for. These companies kept the money and did not keep their promise.
Now they continue to scam us with this type of BS. Violating net neutrality will not allow for better service. On the contrary, its just an excuse for them to increase profits while at the same time look like they actually are doing something without actually improving the connections they provide.
The web site explains more about this. Now I feel Verizon and other such companies (or at least the people in charge) have about the same ethics as Enron. Hopefully we can realize they do not have your best interests in mind (or what's best for the internet as a whole), and will lie and deceive to increase profits.
The whole idea of Google needing to pay extra because it's been having a "free ride" is of course completely garbage. Connecting to the whole internet is the point of their service, and they are being well paid and compensated for it. We really need this law and more investigation into their activities.

- *Nobody* rides for free...
- The statement (not made by you) that Google is getting a free ride is so much BS. Any ISP has to incorporate the costs of providing bandwidth to their customers into the cost the customers pay. Otherwise, they could not afford to have those customers. After all, the ISPs have to pay for *their* connection to the Internet, also. And even if their payment is carrying traffic from/to other providers through peering arangements, they still have to pay for the equipment carrying that traffic, as well as the cost of actually running the equipment. The Telcos see Internet companies such as Google as cash cows, and as such, they should pay a "tax" (or be given a cut, same thing) for the priveledge (sp?) of serving traffic to their (already paying) customers. This is equivelant (sp?) to purchasing diesel fuel for you truck, and getting charged an extra 10 cents if you plan on using that fuel to transport goods for hire.

Also, it would adversely affect the principles the internet was founded on. A byte is a byte, it shouldn't matter how much the web site you're on paid for it. If the telcos are seriously interested in improving my service (apparently they aren't) they should increase the connection speed and quality. This would apply for all web sites, not rich ones.
Also, I recommend you look a the site www.newnetworks.com . These companies have perpetrated a little-known scandal, which shows how greedy they are and how they'll lie over and over just to increase their profits.

This is one step towards holding all net services hostage until someone pays up.
Not that it is ALL bad. When it comes to spam, they can and should make it feasible to only have permissioned email delivered upon payment of a fee. In other words, if you want to send me email without permission, fine... just pay me 25 cents to read it. You could set a bid price, depending on how much email you wanted to read. Legitimate marketers should have no objection to this. Most of them already spend multiples of this for direct mail. If the email is unread, the marketer doesn't pay.
The telcos or ISP's could pocket a percentage of that, and everybody is happy... except the email marketers who send massive volumes of unwanted email. If spammers had to pay pennies per email delivered, they would be out of business in no time. The user would have the ability to grant free email to friends and family (just as most major providers allow now).

- It's ALL about the Benjamins
- It's ALL about money. These execs (old Bell heads as we refer to them in the internetworking field) are accustomed to charging customers on a per connection basis (i.e. DDS, DS0, DS1, DS3, OC-3, BRI, PRI, etc.).
The Internet has transformed a large part of the revenue stream into a connectionless business model. You will see less frequent business to business (B2B) peering interconnection as was typical of the past. Now, businesses have a "fat pipe" to the Internet and facilitate a B2B via virtual private networks (VPN ala IPSec, etc.). Verizon, MCI (now part of Verison), SBC, AT&T (now SBC a.k.a. AT&T), Sprint, Time Warner Telecom, ComCast, etc. hrough competitive pressures from the other providers have reduced the costs of the fat pipes to gain business. They have also cut prices on residential broadband due to competition. Now, they want to be able to shore up their revenues and see their old friend the "tiered pricing model" as the vehicle to profitability. Why do you think they don't want you sharing the bandwidth you pay for? Because they can't charge the other users for their connections even though you've paid for the bandwidth (which highlights the fact that the providers usually oversubscribe their networks at a ratio of 4:1 for business customers and 16:1 for residential customers therefore they want to squeeze us [residential customers] for every cent they can get)
What those "maroons" fail to realize is:
1. They will be left behind again (alluding to the shift to VoIP) or relagated to playing catch-up. 2. They do not own the content.
3. Customers are more likely to change providers at the first hint of throttline (I will and I have done this.)
And with the introduction of WiFi, WiMax and 3G cellular, the customers have more choice and more opportunity to change providers when they don't like the service they receive.

These new line providers offered boradband access cheaper and the old guard had to respond ...
Now all of these broadband providers want to cry foul becasue they have negotitated horiible peering realtionships that aren't profitable, ofcourse after the internet bubble burst they got what they could get. I heard Verizon say that all Google has invested in is some cheap servers ... excuse me Mr. Verizon as far as I can tell Google is paying for an enormous pipe to the Internet as well as their "cheap servers". So they are already getting paid from both sides, the consumers and the content provider.

"This is my first time here. I have been cleaning house but barely made $500 last month. I am normally a book-keeper. I cannot find work and have been out of work since last October. A long-time ago I took a friend to the Antioch food distribution and that is how I knew about this. My son works but he is a full-time student so he can't really contribute. I am excited about the bread. I haven't had bread in weeks. I get shampoo from fast food restaurants by squirting what hand soap I can into a cup. I get napkins from fast food places to use as tissue. I am washing dishes with just water now. I am an educated woman. I don't do drugs. I am finding myself in a weird spot. These are tough times."
– Patricia, Bethel Island
"I get clothes, bread, and canned food once a month. I am not working right now. I have been on food stamps for 6 months. The food stamps last almost all month. I couldn't make it without (the food stamps). It is a crummy way to live. Hopefully jobs will pick up soon. It is a little embarrassing."
– Manuel, Knightsen
"This is my second time here. I come once a month. I have two kids. This is helping a lot. I am a single working mother. The food from here helps my money go further especially the canned food and bread."
– Ruby, Brentwood
"The Senior Food Program supplements my food consumption. I like the $20 farmer's market coupons to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. It is helpful. When I was living in my daughter's house, I used to plant vegetables but I cannot in my senior housing complex – there is no land where we can plant – so the fresh produce is important to me. It is helpful."
– Felicidas, Vallejo
Velia and Charlie
"The Senior Food Program really helps supplement our food. We are so low-income we can barely pay the bills. We really like the Farmer's Market coupons. I know fresh fruit and vegetables are really important for good nutrition. I am a retired RN. Our disability is not enough. We really look forward to coming to this program. The food really lasts a while. We don't need to come here every time. I look for the food ads and only buy what is on sale except things I have to get like milk and eggs. You don't really have a choice on those. You don't always know what is in the bag so they ask if we want carrots and we take them. Then there are already carrots in the bag. What do you do with all of those carrots? I make lots of soups and stews. Same with the potatoes. One time we got lots of garlic and I don't know if you can freeze that so I gave the extra to my friends who have helped me out with food before. We are not getting cost of living increases this year. We are grateful for this program. We didn't know about it until we were desperate. I started looking into different programs and found out about this through our church. We only go to this one and leave the other programs for the other people who are not seniors. Years ago we used to donate to the food bank and the Christian Help Center."

Off the Ice: I want the playoffs, I want the Red Wings
Bring on the Detroit Red Wings in the playoffs.
You read that right. I want to play Detroit in the playoffs again, particularly in the first round. I can't wait to see the Phoenix Coyotes take the ice at the Joe and watch the Job fill up with those bright red shirts.
A fellow journalist, Craig Morgan of Fox Sports Arizona, recently made a comment that the NHL should institute a rule that says a team cannot play the same team in the first round of the playoffs three years running. He nicknamed it the "Coyote Clause."
Whether or not this was meant as a moment of levity, it got me thinking. With the Coyotes future still plagued with relocation rumors - don't get me started -, there is a very real possibility that we could bear witness to the death of professional ice hockey in the desert at the end of this season. If that happens, what better way for a team with a Red Wings complex to go out - by finally winning their first playoff series as a franchise and beating the team who humiliated them last season with a four-game sweep.
The scenario is more real than you think. As of now, the Wings lead the entire Western Conference in points, meaning they'll take on the eighth-spot team. Assuming a little movement, the Wings could go down as far as number three, but a top-two finish is more likely. The Coyotes, should they make the playoffs, are likely going to be in the bottom two teams. It may seem like bad luck, but I call it fate.
Do I think the Coyotes are a superior team to the Red Wings? Hardly. Just reading the line-up itself is a who's who of goal scorers, top defensemen and one of the league's best goaltenders. A franchise steeped in NHL history, having won plenty of Stanley Cups and a member of the Original Six against a team that apparently no one wants, generally consists of role-players and seven first round playoff series losses? A perfect scenario for the Coyotes.
The entirety of sports thrives on the rare win, the big moment and David dropping Goliath. That's what keeps us watching, me writing and fans in the seats. Everyone hopes the game they're at becomes the game that everyone wishes they were at. When the Coyotes clinch the series against the Red Wings in Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs, that will become the game to say you were at if you are a Coyotes fan. Just once, I want to see a Wings fan walking slowly out of Jobing.com Arena, heads held low while muttering, "There's always next year."
While the playoff matchups are far from decided - a mere 14 points separate first and eighth place in the Western Conference -, if the season ended today, the Coyotes would take on the Red Wings in Detroit in a few days' time. For me, that matchup can't come soon enough. It may be crazy, it's likely far too hopeful, but, damn it, as a Coyotes fan who has been tossed around through relocation rumors, humiliating defeats and an arena that's too far from home, I want my team to have their moment. I want the curse to be broken against the team that always seems to have our number. I want to see my team make a real playoff run by dropping one of the giants.
We'll see you in April, Detroit. Be ready, because we are.

Rowlandson's Etching Proofs for Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London'
- Dates: May 29, 1939 through October 1, 1939
- Organizing Department: Prints, Drawings and Photographs
- Collections: European Art
May 27, 1939: An exhibition of etching proofs by Thomas Rowlandson, never shown in America before, "Microcosm of London," will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum from May 29th to July 16th. There will be 25 uncolored proofs and 14 proofs handcolored by Rowlandson, in collaboration with Augustus Pugin who did the architectural part of the plates, which served as guides for the aquatinter. The collection has been lent to the Museum by W. G. Russell Allen, of Boston, Massachusetts.
Proofs of the "Microcosm" are of the utmost rarity. With the exception of Mr. Allen's the largest print collections in this country do not include any. This book, which is the most important document on early 19th century life in England, was issued in three volumes in 1810 by Rudolf Ackermann (1764-1834) an inventor and publisher. It contains 105 plates in color, each plate having been done jointly by Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) and Augustus Pugin (1769-1032). Ackermann commissioned Pugin to do the architectural drawing and Rowlandson then supplied the figures. A copy of the finished 3 volume work, lent by the Weyhe Galleries, is also on display.
When the preliminary design had been transferred to the plates and etched, a few proofs of each were pulled, with the design shown entirely in outline and in pure etching. The artists then colored the proofs by hand, and these proofs were given as guides to the craftsman who added the aquatint. The plates were inked with several neutral tints of grey, brown and ochre, and printed, probably in one printing only. The remaining colors were then added by hand by special workmen.
Aside from their rarity, the untinted proofs are interesting as conveying the artists' draftsmanship better than those showing the color, as the aquatint and handcoloring of the edition concealed much of the delicacy of the original work.
The following quotation from the preface to the "Microcosm" explains why the work was divided between the two artists.
"The great objection that men fond of the fine arts have hitherto made to engravings on architectural subjects has been that the building and figures have almost invariably been designed by the same artists. In consequence of this, the figures have been generally neglected, or are of a very inferior cast, and totally unconnected with the other part of the print...The architectural part of the subjects that are contained in this work will be delineated with the utmost precis1~on and care, by Mr. Pugin, whose uncommon accuracy and elegant taste have been displayed in his former productions. With respect to the figures, they are from the pencil of Mr. Rowlandson, with whose professional talents the public are already so well acquainted, that it is not necessary to expatiate on them here."

Date unknown, approximately 1939: An addition to the exhibition of etcher's proofs by Thomas Rowlandson at the Brooklyn Museum is announced by Carl O. Schniewind, Curator of Prints and Drawings. This is a rare and important copy of the "Microcosm of London" lent the Museum for the occasion by the Alden Galleries, Kansas City, Mo. With the addition of the three volumes from the Alden Galleries the Museum is enabled to present the first complete record of the "Microcosm" probably ever shown in America or Europe.
This copy of the "Microcosm" belonged to Augustus Pugin, who did the architectural part of the plates shown in the body of the exhibition, with Rowlandson putting in the figures. The three bound volumes contain 121 pencil and some brush drawings and watercolours, 104 aquatint proofs in black and white, 107 proofs of the finished plates printed in color, and the text of the first edition.
The drawings frequently have notes and suggestions written on them by Rowlandson and Pugin, giving an Interesting insight into the collaboration of the two artists.
The finished plates may be studied through the following stages: 1. A "first impression" sketch in pen and ink, sometimes with a brush wash of the architectural setting by Pugin. 2. A very accurate pencil drawing of the architecture by Pugin, with the figures added in delicate outline in pencil by Rowlandson, and with the composition frequently surrounded by Rowlandson's meticulously detailed sketches of the figure and studies of their costumes and gestures. 3. A few watercolors of the finished composition. 4. The etcher's proofs, of which there are none in Pugin's copy, these being the plates on exhibition from The W. G. Russell Allen Collection. 5. Trial proofs of each plate, with a delicate aquatint imitating a wash coloring printed in a simple grey tone. 6. The finished plates, printed in color and touched up by hand.

Indicator Report - Chlamydia Cases
Why Is This Important?Infections caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis are the most frequently reported notifiable disease in Utah, with 7,542 cases reported in 2013. Two-thirds of the reported cases were among persons between 15 and 24 years of age. The overall rate for chlamydia in Utah in 2013 was 262 cases per 100,000 persons.
Females with chlamydia are at risk for developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and both men and women may become infertile as a result of untreated chlamydia. Untreated chlamydia infections can damage the reproductive systems of both males and females. Susceptibility to more serious infections such as HIV also increases when an individual is infected with chlamydia. In addition, pregnant women with chlamydia can pass the infection to their infant during delivery, potentially resulting in pneumonia or neonatal ophthalmia.
Data NotesRates were calculated by dividing the number of cases within a race/ethnicity group by the population within that group and multiplying by 100,000.
Data SourcesUtah Department of Health, Bureau of Epidemiology. Population Estimates by Age, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for Counties in Utah, U.S. Bureau of the Census, IBIS Version 2013.

Trumbull News Detail
Victimology students lend helping hands, and so can youPosted Apr. 7, 2014
Entering its fourth year of support, students of Mary Wilson's spring 2014 Victimology class will be collecting items to aid a pair of area agencies and the victims and families which they serve.
Wilson has tasked her students with completing a service learning project on remedying the plight of area crime victims. Students visited area agencies to gather information on the type of services that each provided, the types of crime victims they worked with, and the funding sources and needs of those agencies. Following those visits, the students designated two area agencies – Someplace Safe, Inc. of Warren, and Home Safe of Ashtabula – as those they would assist.
A class discussion on how to assist the agencies generated a list of items to be collected during the designated weeks and donated thereafter. Those items include household cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items and children's craft and art supplies.
Donation bins will be placed outside Wilson's office (No. 174, Link Building), as well as the Kent Trumbull Library, April 8-24. The collections are taking place during April in recognition of Crime Victims' Rights Awareness Month, which was inaugurated by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Additional information is available by contacting Mary Wilson, Ph.D. at 330-675-8925 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

THE Labour government in Wellington is to establish a science ministry to oversee all government-funded research and to give advice on policy. The new Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, which will be set up on 1 October, will give science in New Zealand a higher profile but no more money.
It will also strengthen a major weakness in the country's current structure for science. At present, individual government departments, research institutes and universities cover their own areas but nobody is responsible for advising the government on national priorities for research. David Lange, the prime minister, said that research activities had to be focused to help to restore economic growth and provide jobs.
The new department will have three separate functions: advising government, allocating research funds to competing programmes, and overseeing actual research. A minister of research, science and technology, who has yet to be named, will chair a new ...

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana couple has tied the knot during a star-spangled Fourth of July wedding on the steps of downtown Indianapolis' Monument Circle.
Tiffany and Brian Liffick exchange vows Thursday during their red, white and blue-themed wedding ceremony. Tiffany Liffick says she wanted to say her vows on the steps of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument because she and Brian shared a romantic moment at the same spot last year.
Brian Liffick tells WRTV-TV he proposed to Tiffany last year during downtown Indianapolis' fireworks show. His new bride's family has been working with the pyrotechnic crew for more than 20 years.
Tiffany's mother, Darlene Moore, says helping out behind the scenes with the fireworks show has become a tradition.
The newlyweds planned to help with the Thursday night's show.

Dear Sir:
Willem Buiter ("The Fed's bad manners risk offending foreigners", Comment, February 5) hits the nail on the head — almost. Yes, the Fed, under the chairmanship of Prof Ben Bernanke, operated as if it were "the central bank of a closed economy". The absurdities that this led to go further than those articulated by Dr Buiter, however.
For example, the six metrics on Prof Bernanke's Dashboard (see In Fed We Trust, by David Wessel, p271) did not include the USD/EUR exchange rate — arguably the world's most important price.

PC shipments up, but Dell loses ground

PC market surged in 2005, will settle in 2006January 18, 2006
Dell's dilemma--it's about pricingNovember 1, 2005
PC shipments increased by 13.1 percent in the first quarter, according to research firm Gartner, thanks in part to sales in emerging markets and to consumers. Overall, 57 million PCs, notebooks and servers based on so-called x86 chips were sent to customers. Rival IDC came up with similar results and rankings although the exact numbers are slightly different.
But Dell, the No. 1 PC maker in the world and in the U.S., did not grow that fast. The Round Rock, Texas-based PC maker saw shipments rise worldwide by 10.2 percent from the first quarter of 2005, resulting in a decline in market share from 16.9 percent to 16.5 percent.

Trouble ahead for Dell?
News.com's Michael Kanellos explains what the numbers suggest about the challenges ahead of Dell. More podcasts at http://podcast.news.com

In the U.S., Dell saw shipments rise by only 0.2 percent when the overall market grew by 7.4 percent, dropping its market share from 32 percent to 29.8 percent.
It's a significant change because Dell has grown faster--and generally by a substantial margin--than the PC market as a whole for several years. The company hasn't seen shipments grow this slowly since the third quarter of 2001, when the rest of the industry was contracting.
Gartner's Charles Smulders combed through the data and found that Dell has grown faster than the market on an annual basis since 1989. Dell might have grown faster than the market before that, but Gartner doesn't have the numbers.
"It is a pretty interesting point that they have reached," Smulders said. "They are challenged in delivering to their profitability expectations and with the current consumer pricing environment. It is because they are focused on Intel while other competitors have adopted AMD and been able to hit lower price points."
Dell also has tried to stay out of the low end of the PC market, which helps explain why the average selling price for Dell consumer PCs in the U.S. is far higher than the average price of PCs from competitors. The company also has suffered from an increase in customer complaints.
Rival Hewlett-Packard, meanwhile, is staging a comeback. HP grew shipments by 22.3 percent compared with the same period the year before. As a result, its worldwide market share grew from 13.8 percent in the first quarter of 2005 to 14.9 percent in the first quarter of 2006. In the U.S., HP grew shipments by 15.3 percent and saw its market share rise to 18.5 percent.
Dell has also tried to stay out of the low-end of the PC market, which helps explain why the average selling price for Dell consumer PCs in the U.S. is far higher than the average price of PCs from competitors. Dell has also suffered from an increase in customer complaints.
No. 4 Acer continued to wield the crown for the fastest-growing PC maker. The Taiwanese manufacturer grew PC shipments 45 percent in the first quarter and now has 5 percent of the world market. Lenovo is ranked third, with 6 percent of the market. Lenovo grew shipments by 10 percent.
Gartner further added that, in processors, Advanced Micro Devices gained market share over Intel in the last seven quarters.
Apple Computer so far hasn't been a boon to Intel. Apple, ranked fifth in the U.S. but not in the top five worldwide, saw its U.S. market share decline from 3.6 percent to 3.5 percent. Apple's worldwide share is around 2.3 percent.

U.S. market share decline from 3.6 percent to 3.5 percent.
Is Apple now a chipmaker?
Or does Intel have 3.5% market share?

- Is that last paragraph correct?
- It says Intel is the fifth largest chipmaker in the U.S. but not
worldwide. Is its marketshare really only 3.5 percent? Or was that
suppose to be Apple's figures in the U.S.?

- Apple data not valid
- Or, as others have suggested, maybe it is misreported here. Since
most of Apple's computers still have Power PC chips, we need to
see combined sales figures for PPCs and Mactels. The highest
figure I've read for current Mac market share in the U.S. is about
five percent. Worldwide? Less than three percent.

- HP vs Dell - Initial Purchase
- At the consumer level:
With HP, you can pick up your computer at a local retailer, so you know that you get what you want/ordered.
With Dell, your order can get screwed up, and if it does, you have to go round and round with some guy in India.

- The main reason is clear
- Dell does not sell AMD. At the time, when AMD is a performance leader in desktop PCs and servers, is does not look wise...
The other reasons: (1) many years Dell did not have competition from HP in direct sales. Now HP has caught up providing full customization options. (2) Dell makes a bit bulky notebooks, which are not so attractive to consumers. HP traditionally makes smaller devices.

- Throw away PC market Bah!
- Small mainboards without simple components like a no agp slots on the demention series computers to make a cheap $399.00 PC is just a jip!
Short changing a customer and then promoting it as quality is crap!

- I guess whatever computer you have, with all those fancy parts including AGP, still didn't bother to include spell check.
For the basic tasks that the VAST majority of people use their PC for, a $399 one will do just fine.
Not everyone out there is buying a gaming machine. (And if you do want one...guess who owns Alienware...D'OH!)

- You go boy. We are all impressed by your conviction that Intel is the only supplier for Dell. (read "Intel owns Michael's soul")
I'm sure your investors appreciate the strides your company has been making in gaining market share. (read: "your investors don't see you as the 'golden boy' anymore and are starting to question your wisdom")
But even with the roller-coaster of market share figures one thing stand out about Dell, their end-user support. (read: "Since Dell users have to just about drive to India to get support your repeat buyers are starting to go away")
We are behind you and know that AMD technology is inferior and not up to Dell standards. (read: "Dells CTO is asleep at the wheel because your engineers know that the current AMD technology is FAR superior to Intels. But a superior computer is not what Dell is about is it? No, Dell is about 'consistency' just like McDonalds. So I guess you could say that Dell has become the McDonalds of the computer industry")
Hopefully Michael of someone from Dell will pick up on the subtle and subliminal thoughts expressed within this post, but if not....

- Successful ad campaigns are a once-a-generation miracle that can make or break a company for a long time. Dell's gen-x "Steven" character was one of the most successful ad campaigns ever for a computer company but Dell pulled the plug because the actor (who, let's face it, WAS "Steven") got caught with pot at his college dorm.
I'll bet there will be a lot of people at Dell who wish Steven hadn't been shown the door so fast. Dell has made the "Boston Chicken" error (throwing away great brand advertising without a better idea as backup) and is beginning the long slide into oblivion that nature imposes on the boring...

Dell has also tried to stay out of the low-end of the PC market, which helps explain why the average selling price for Dell consumer PCs in the U.S. is far higher than the average price of PCs from competitors. Dell has also suffered from an increase in customer complaints.

Will There Be Sex Ed Changes In La Crosse Schools
Changes in the Doyle administration sex ed bill passed last year are coming. On Wednesday, the state senate passed the GOP bill by a 17-15 vote. Democrats called the legislation foolish and unrealistic, but Republicans forced the measure through. It now goes to the state Assembly, though it's unclear whether the chamber will consider the bill this year. So will it change the way sex ed is taught in the Lacrosse School District?
Dr. Troy Harcey.
The bill's author, Senator Mary Lazich, stressed that the measure doesn't impose an outright ban on contraception instruction. Instead, she said, it gives school districts more control over their sex education curriculums even though the measure contains its own list of mandates. She says it's all about local control.

With an unemployment rate of 7.9 percent in 2012 among military veterans, Michigan ranks 37th in employing those who have defended our country. The state also faces a deficit of 300 paramedics each year.
To address those two needs, Lansing Community College has created a program called Military Medic to Paramedic Program (MM2P) that helps transition military medics into civilian life by fast-tracking their path to EMS licensure. It is the first program of its kind in the country, and the first class starts this fall.
For the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, the support for this program was unanimous. On this podcast, Ira Strumwasser, Ph.D, Executive Director and CEO of the BCBSM Foundation talks about the need for a program like this and why his board of directors was excited to make a matching grant to help launch this effort.

Dr Joe Mercola on the Dr Oz Show
Dr Oz's July 5, 2012 show features an interview with Dr Joe Mercola, the Alternative Medicine Guru. Dr Joe Mercola told Doctor Oz why you should not trust your doctor. That must be a hard pill for Dr Oz to swallow since he is a practicing doctor! Dr Mercola also gave Dr Oz a list of Prescription Drugs You Should Not Take (this is definitely a list that you should share with everyone you know!). Dr Mercola told Dr Oz about some pretty crazy sounding ideas – like going to tanning beds in the winter to get enough Vitamin D rather than taking supplements. Really? We should go to tanning beds to get Vitamin D? What about the potential risk of getting skin cancer? Dr Mercola also told Dr Oz that he is not in favor of people getting the flu shot, but he suggests building up natural immunity overtime. The ironic thing is that Doctor Oz has promoted getting the flu shot on his show quite a few times. In fact, he has even taken the flu shot himself on the show. But apparently Dr Oz's children do not get flu shots! Where do you stand on the issue? Do you get flu shots? Do you believe they work? Or do you think they cause more harm than good? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
Feverfew Migraine Remedy
Dr Oz also did a segment on remedies including a Castor Oil Back Pain Remedy and a Feverfew Migraine Remedy. If you feel a migraine headache coming on, Doctor Oz said to take 125 mg of Feverfew right away and it will help minimize your discomfort. But the key is to take it right away! And if you suffer from back pain, you should consider doing castor oil wraps to help ease your pain. You can read more about both of these remedies at the following link: Castor Oil Back Remedy & Feverfew Headache Remedy.
Moxibustion Therapy & Bonito Peptides
Dr Oz also did a segment on natural health trends for 2012 that include Moxibustion Therapy, Moxy Spray, Bonito Peptides to lower blood pressure and Devil's Claw for Arthritis. But among the most exciting to me were the Moxibustion Therapy and the Moxa Spray. What are these you might ask? Well, Moxibustion Therapy was an Ancient Chinese therapy that burned substances into your skin with acupuncture needles to help heal pain in your body. But now there is something called a Moxy Spray that you can use at home to help get rid of your pain just by spraying it on the area with pain and rubbing it in. Moxa Spray is also helpful for people who suffer from cramps.
Dr Oz July 5 2012: In Case You Missed It
Here is a complete list of recaps of the Dr Oz Show from July 5, 2012:
- Dr Oz: Bonito Peptides, Moxibustion Therapy & Ubiquinol Remedies
- Dr Oz: Ginkgo Biloba Memory Remedy & Ear Candling Earwax Remedy
- Dr Oz: Castor Oil Back Pain Remedy & Feverfew Migraine Remedy

Elena Delle Donne scored 22 points in her first game of the season to lead Delaware to a 64-46 win over Providence on Tuesday night. The preseason All-American had missed the season's first three games while dealing with symptoms of Lyme Disease. Without their star, who averaged a nation-leading 28.1 points to go with 10.3 rebounds last season, the Blue Hens (2-2) fell out of the Top 25 on Monday. Delaware had been ranked every week since joining the poll for the first time on school history last November. Delle Donne got going quickly, scoring 15 points in the first half as the Blue Hens built a 41-25 lead at the break. She initially contracted the disease in 2008 and then suffered again through its effects two years ago. She was fine last season while leading Delaware to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Motorola Announces New Successor To RAZR
Article Comments 100+
May 15, 2007, 10:16 AM by (staff)
Motorola today announced the next successor to its RAZR platform. The RAZR2 is thinner than the original RAZR yet designed to be stronger, as well as sleeker by eliminating the antenna "chin" at the bottom. It features 2 brighter QVGA screens - 2.2" inside and a large 2" display outside. The external display can used to control many functions with the phone closed using the smart keys as well as external music controls that now offer vibration feedback. The RAZR2 features a 2 Megapixel camera, and Bluetooth. Updated. It will launch this summer as the V8 for GSM/EDGE networks, the V9 for HSDPA and V9m for EV-DO.
- V8: features quad-band GSM/EDGE, Motorola's new Linux/Java platform including new user-friendly features and a full HTML browser. Includes 2 GB of built in memory but no card slot. It is 12mm thick.
- V9: thicker than the other two models but adds noise cancellation technology, a microSD slot and video sharing. However it uses Motorola's older "Synergy" platform. It is expected in late summer with quad-band GSM and HSDPA 850/1900 for the US.
- V9m: another 12mm thick model with EV-DO and media playback keys that are visible at all times (the others stay hidden until needed). Will run carrier branded interfaces and is expected at the end of summer.

What type of company should consider locating in an incubator?
Business incubation in New Jersey is designed to support companies with high growth potential. Potential clients include entrepreneurs who:
What is the application process for Incubators at BCC?
For an application, please schedule an appointment by calling (856) 222-9311, ext. 2800.
At what point in an entrepreneurial startup process should the applicant apply to the Incubators for rental space?
Startup companies considered for occupancy have been legally organized and generally show sufficient funds to support the efforts of the enterprise for at least one year.
What kind of workspace resources does Incubators at BCC provide?
Whereas most business incubators throughout the country are housed in vacant industrial buildings or converted schools, Incubators at BCC was designed and built as an incubator. Because the building is 100 percent wired with cabling, each entrepreneurial company has access to telephone, fax and data connections. Clustered at the Incubators center are shared equipment and facilities, including a technology library, conference rooms, kitchen, lounge area and duplicating, fax and mail services.
At times of full occupancy, are there other avenues of help available to startup entrepreneurs?
Incubators at BCC serve onsite and virtual clients. Onsite clients include those who physically occupy office and/or laboratory space at 100 Technology Way. Virtual clients do not occupy office space, but do gain specified privileges such as access to the Incubators business address, use of common facilities (i.e. copier, fax, mail and package delivery), and resource/library with Internet-accessible computers. Virtual clients may also use the Incubators conference rooms by appointment and have access to the mentoring, consulting, and networking resources.
When are companies expected to "graduate" out of the Incubators?
Since the first three years of any startup are typically the most critical, most companies should plan to take advantage of the Incubators low market rent and business services for three to five years. As businesses become self-sufficient and can contribute to the economic growth of the region, other early-stage enterprises take their place. Graduates are encouraged to continue drawing upon the mentoring, consulting, and networking resources.
When can I tour the facility?
Tours are offered at your convenience. Please contact Stacy Hunt at (856) 222-9311, ext. 2800 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
