Product description
This book examines the ways in which new information and communication technologies (ICTs) are being used by civil society organizations (CSOs) to achieve their aims through activities and networks that cross national borders. These new ICTs (the internet, mobile phones, satellite radio and television) have allowed these civil society organizations to form extensive networks linking the local and the global in new ways and to flourish internationally in ways that were not possible without them. Reformatting Politics consists of four sections containing essays by some of the top scholars and activists working at the intersections of networked societies, civil society organizations, and information technology. The book also includes a section that takes a critical look at the UN World Summit of Information Society and the role that global governance has played and will play in the use and dissemination of these new technologies. Finally, the contributors aim to influence this important and emerging field of inquiry by posing a set of questions and directions for future research. In sum, Reformatting Politics is a fresh look at the way critical network practice through the use of information technology is reformatting the terms and terrains of global politics.

Dancing With The Stars
Did DWTS Contestant Gilles Marini Get Injured in Practice? (PHOTO)
Rehearsals may have just started for Dancing With the Stars Season 15 All-Stars, but it looks like all of those twists and shimmies are leading to other kinds of twists — a twisted ankle, that is.
Gilles Marini was seen wearing a bandage around his ankle while leaving the rehearsal studio last week. That can't be a good sign!
The hot Sex and the City actor told E! back in August that he had "hurt something already," so we hope he's hanging in there during rehearsal.
Gilles is paired with Peta Murgatroyd and with a couple as sexy as they are, it would be a shame if they couldn't hit the ballroom. We hope you get better soon, Gilles!
Dancing With the Stars Season 15: All-Stars will premiere on Monday, September 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Check out the full All-Stars cast list here.

Topic: Eredivisie picks 7-9/11
De Graafschap vs NAC Breda
The hosts have the worst form the teams in the league and have failed to impress. NAC are on third place and are playing good football at the moment.
NAC Breda win.
NEC vs PSV Eindhoven
If you would have said that this would be a close one at the begining of the season, I would most likely have laughed at it. But I believe this will be a very close match.
Heracles vs Vitesse
Both teams have ok form and I believe it will be a close one. But these are teams that have been involved in very many matches with few goals recently.
Under 2.5 goals.
Willem II vs Roda
Willem II have not impressed this season so far, but I believe they will win this match, but many goals is probably the safest pick.
Over 2.5 goals.
Feyenoord vs Utrecht
Feyenoord have failed to impress this season and are poorly placed in the Eredivisie. I believe they will not get all points from this match either.
Groningen vs Volendam
Groningen are very strong at home and Volendam should have no chance of getting something from this match.
Groningen win with 0-1 handicap.
AZ vs Twente
AZ have the best form of the teams in the league and should have no problems beating Twente at home, even though they have impressed recently.
AZ win with 0-1 handicap.
Ajax vs Sparta Rotterdam
Ajax have superb form and are likely to win this match against Sparta.
Ajax win with 0-1 handicap and Over 2.5 goals.
ADO Den Haag vs Heerenveen
Even though Heerenveen have failed to impress recently I believe they should win this match. But the best pick is probably plenty of goals.
Over 2.5 goals.

Google Tip of the Day gadget
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
One of the great things about working at Google is the breadth and depth of ideas that people come up with. Our development process is primarily bottom-up and driven by the enthusiasm of those same people, so these ideas are frequently translated into new products, services and features. A side effect is that these improvements are sometimes launched at such a pace that even Googlers have a hard time keeping up, and some of the best aspects can be lost in the shuffle.
We hate to see a good feature go unnoticed, so we have used some of our 20 percent time to create a new gadget to help you discover them. The Google Tip of the Day gadget highlights some of the lesser-known or recently added members of the Google lineup, providing short, easily digested descriptions and examples. A new feature is covered each weekday, and you can catch up on what has been previously shown as well.
Here's today's tip:
You can add the gadget to your iGoogle homepage, or generate code to embed it in your web page or blog.
We know that many of you have tips and tricks of your own; soon we'll be adding functionality so you can submit your own tips that can be featured in the gadget. For now, if you have a tip you'd like to share, you can post it in our Google Group for Tips.

Yahoo's CEO search is winding down. As of this morning, it was reportedly down to two candidates, Ross Levinsohn and Jason Kilar. Now Kilar, who is CEO of Hulu, has taken himself out of the running.
Kilar has a strong resume: At Hulu, he built a digital business that generated more than $400 million in revenues last year and, perhaps even more impressively, has attracted 2 million paying subscribers. He's also motivated, having let his contract lapse after deciding he'd had enough of answering to multiple corporate bosses. (Hulu is co-owned by Fox, Disney and NBC Universal, although the latter is a silent partner.)
But Levinsohn enjoys an advantage that's going to make him hard for anyone to beat: As interim CEO, he has a chance to prove he can do the job — and he's been making the most of that opportunity.
In his latest move, Levinsohn has secured an agreement with Facebook to settle the patent lawsuit Yahoo filed against the social giant in March.
The deal won't bring Yahoo a big haul of new money, at least not upfront. What it does it extract it from an embarrassing and potentially dangerous conflict. Observers from influential venture capitalist Fred Wilson to FORBES contributor Oliver Herzfeld saw the suit, initiated by former CEO Scott Thompson, as a strategic blunder, a me-too piece of patent trolling meant to shake loose some easy patent money by catching Facebook at a delicate moment, in the run-up to its IPO. Like those observers, however, Facebook felt the suit was legally dubious and chose to fight it, putting Yahoo at odds with a company whose friendship it needs.
Now Levinsohn has made that problem go away. And there may, in fact, be some financial upside, with the settlement including an expanded agreement letting Yahoo use Facebook's user data in its display ads, according to Kara Swisher.
It's not the first big, overdue move Levinsohn has made, either. He also was the one to finally strike a deal to unwind Yahoo's stake in Alibaba Group and tap the billions of dollars' worth of value locked up there. That's something neither Thompson nor his predecessor, Carol Bartz, managed to do.
If Yahoo's board of directors had offered the job to Kilar, no one would have second-guessed them. He'd be an excellent choice. But given the verve Levinsohn's already shown, and considering how badly Yahoo needs some stability and continuity, I'll be amazed if he doesn't end up getting confirmed as CEO.
Note: I posted the original version of this story before news of Kilar's withdrawal broke. I've rewritten parts of it to reflect that information.

Report: 2009 caps lost decade for Ala workers
By Advocacy group report cites lost decade for Ala. workers
Montgomery, AL – - An advocacy group's annual report says
2009 caps a decade of lost potential for Alabama workers.
The report released Sunday by the Arise Citizens' Policy Project
says years of solid productivity in the early part of the decade
brought little change to Alabama's median wages and household
Executive Director Kimble Forrister said that rising
unemployment and a severe recession at the end of the decade means
conditions are deteriorating for millions of hard-working people
through no fault of their own.
He urged the state avoid deep budget cuts that could worsen the
unemployment picture.

Sukhoi's T-50 PAK-FA fifth-generation stealth fighter has completed initial approach trials to a flight refuelling aircraft, the company said on 21 August.
Aircraft T-50-2 made approaches to an Ilyushin Il-78 tanker accompanied by a Su-25UB aircraft.
Sukhoi's second prototype, T-50-2, is undergoing a range of flight trials to test the new plane's flight envelope in subsonic and supersonic regimes and in different configurations.
The first prototype, T-50-1, is being prepared for a flight-test programme involving flight at super-critical angles of attack and super-maneouvrability.
In August, T-50-3 will start full tests of the aircraft's new active phased-array radar system and avionics, which the company says has already produced impressive results in air-to-air and air-to-ground tests.
The active electronically scanned array radar will allow T-50 to attack targets at long-range in simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-surface modes, detect and classify group and single targets and simultaneously attack several targets with precision-guided weapons and perform electronic warfare functions.
A fourth T-50 will join the test programme later this year.

HEMLOCK TOWNSHIP — Demolition is now underway, tearing down nearly two dozen flood-damaged homes in a community in Columbia County.
It has been nearly two years since flooding in 2011 ravaged the village of Fernville. After a federal buyout and the demolition of homes, around 10 percent of that community will be gone.
The September flooding of 2011 did the damage and a guy in a piece of heavy equipment is doing the rest in a matter of minutes, bringing down houses that families made their homes for decades.
In all, 23 places in the village of Fernville are coming down, all along Fishing Creek near Bloomsburg.
"A lot of them in Fernville are going to be ripped down and it's going to be scarce down there," said Jonna Hagemeyer.
Hagemeyer grew up in this neighborhood. She drove by some of the demolition.
"It's a shame, it's a darn shame. I've lived here since I was 13 years old and to see all these houses ripped down because of the flood, it's too bad they couldn't do more to protect them."
Shane Hauck is the man behind the controls, bringing down house after house.
"A lot of people, they want to watch them come down."
He knows he has an audience on the job, sometimes even the former homeowner stops by to watch. But Hauck just focuses on his job, and does it quickly.
"It's just like using your hand after a while, I don't even think about it," Hauck said.
Not all the houses in this neighborhood are coming down. Some homeowners are actually raising their homes above the flood plain, but one thing is for sure, this neighborhood is changing for good.
"Partly it's a shame that they have to come down but partly it's vastly overdue, two years in the making," said neighbor Dave Vanhorn.
Vanhorn lives across the street from one of the already leveled homes. He says after two years they were becoming eyesores. But he said it's hard seeing some neighbors have to say goodbye to their longtime homes.
"47 years, that's a lifetime in one place and to come down and watch it go down in a matter of hours, it's just down and gone."
The buyout of the 23 homes in Fernville comes from a mix of $2.1 million in federal and state funds.
Nothing can ever be built on those lots again.
Leaders in Hemlock Township are still trying to decide what to do with the empty land.

I went with my family to eat. They were visiting for another state. The food took like 45 minutes hello for a pizza that takes max 10 min and the restaurant was not even busy. To order a drink you almost had to follow the waiter to the kitchen. Poor service, but the pizza was good....

I order a lot of takeout from this place. The food is on the whole pretty good. They make a lot of mistakes with the orders. Today I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and they gave me spaghetti Bolognese. This has happened more than once. I guess I should find another place. Also they do not put enough sauce on the dishes so if you order, ask for extra sauce.

My friends and I have eaten here for at least 5-6 times a year for several years we come from Miami to Pompano Beach to meet there ... The food is always served "HOT" ..... No matter what has been ordered ... WE have never had a bad dish.I can not speak for their delivery service but I can tell you if you take the time to eat there it is well worth it......
Posted by Unsatisfied Customer on 07/10/2008
I ordered from this restaurant recently while working in the Hallandale area. This restaurant was recommended highly by the Hampton Inn. My meal was at least 30-45 minutes late. When I called the restaurant, they said I should have received my meal and if it wasn't hot to let them know. Unfortuantely, I was being nice and paid for the food and even gave the driver a tip, but wished I would have followed my original instincts and sent him back with the food. I ordered a pasta dish, an requested parmesan cheese, which was not in the bag, and also there wasn't any plastic ware in the bag. Hello, I'm staying in a hotel, don't you think forks, spoons and knives are a must? Then I called and I was told that the manager would talk to me when she had a free moment, which never happened.

Study: Men Are Better At Multitasking Than Women
New research coming from Sweden may debunk the old idea that women are better at multitasking than men, despite the tons of responsibilities working mothers hold.
"On the contrary, the results of our study show that men are better at multitasking than women," Timo Maentylae, a psychology professor at Stockholm University, said.
While the study shows that men are better than women at handling multiple tasks simultaneously at times, the gap in performance correlates with the female menstrual cycle.
The ability to combine several different tasks at once was found to be linked to spatial ability, which, for women, is linked to their menstrual phase.
"Previous studies have shown that women's spatial skills vary across the menstrual cycle with high capacity around menstruation and much lower around ovulation, when oestrogen levels are high," he said.
"The results showed a clear difference in multitasking between men and women in the ovulation phase, while this effect was eliminated for women in the menstrual phase."
The participants, 160 men and women between 20 and 43 years of age, were instructed to keep track of three digital "clocks", or counters, that displayed different times at different speeds.
The spatial ability was measured in different ways for different people.

"These are also two ways to play a game. You can come to it as purely a math puzzle to solve, or you can come at it as an experience. And ironically, with all the advances we have made in terms of presentation, it feels like more and more games are less about the experience and more about the acronyms and mechanics."So in today's Leaderboard, we're going to have it out: immersion versus statistics, the love of the game versus the love of the numbers. Do you play MMOs more for the experience of it -- to be immersed in its game world, reveling in the stories, characters, locales, and feel? Or do you find yourself gaming the system more and more, min-maxing to win at the numbers game while seeking the most efficient path through content?
Vote after the jump and let your voice be heard!
Ever wish that you could put to rest a long-standing MMO debate once and for all? Then welcome to the battle royal of Massively's Leaderboard, where two sides enter the pit o' judgment -- and only one leaves. Vote to make your opinion known, and see whether your choice tops the Leaderboard!

T-Mobile Announces The Dual-Screen LG DoublePlay, Launching November 2nd?
While the dual-screen Kyocera Echo didn't do much to tickle my fancy, a couple dual-screen devices on their way to market, including the Sony S2 tablet, show much more promise. As far as handsets go, T-Mobile just announced the Android-powered LG DoublePlay (codenamed Flip II) smartphone — a split-keybord QWERTY slider with not one, but two, capacitive touch screens.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus, HTC Vigor To Launch November 10?
As the iPhone 4S hype has peaked and is returning back to stable levels, users from the other school of thought are getting pumped for their own massive event. Ice Cream Sandwich, and the next purely Google phone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, are due to make an appearance in just two short days. Though we're sure to get some clarification on already-leaked specs at the debut, we might… Read More
USA Taps Yap.TV For New Social TV App
Today the USA television network has announced a partnership with Yap.TV to power its mobile social application.

It's basically a souped-up Twitter client for TV, and now all the same cool functionality will be available for USA programming. USA's… Read More
The Galaxy Nexus Pops Up In Verizon's Device Management System
If legit, a freshly leaked document from the Verizon Device Management System confirms earlier rumors that the next official Google phone will indeed be called the Galaxy Nexus. An Ice Cream Sandwich announcement is already slated for October 19, where Samsung and Google are expected to announce the next Nexus. Read More
Some Retailers Say iPhone 4 Cases Will Fit The 4S, Others Don't
Well, this is a bit curious. We're all well aware that a phone such as the iPhone 4S requires a case. It's just too damn precious and costs way too much to go unprotected, but the best cases are often expensive. That said, I'm sure many iPhone 4 owners were hoping to keep their old case when upgrading to the iPhone 4S, but if OtterBox is your go-to case brand, think again. Read More
Amazon Lists All Its Verizon Phones For One Penny With A New Contract
If you're a non-Verizon customer who's been considering hopping on the big red network, now is most definitely the time. A deal at Amazon could score you a $300 phone for just a penny. In fact, Amazon Wireless is selling all its Verizon devices (which unfortunately excludes the new iPhone 4S) for just a penny if you're a new customer signing a contract. That also includes… Read More
Will The AT&T/T-Mobile Merger Create Jobs? (Update)
There have been plenty of questions over whether or not the proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T is in the public interest. We've heard from competitors, senators, attorneys generals, and even the DOJ, who formally filed a complaint in federal court saying that "AT&T's elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low-priced rival would remove a… Read More
iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Sold Out At Sprint, Verizon, And AT&T
Heart set on that brand spankin' new iPhone 4S? Sorry, but I come bearing bad news. Your window for placing a hassle-free pre-order may have just closed, hard. AT&T has extended its shipping time to 3-4 weeks, while Sprint and Verizon are fresh out of the 16GB model. In other words, it looks like you may be bundling up for a wait in line. Read More
HP Turns To Bing For New webOS Maps App On Smartphones
Though webOS has been somewhat shelved going forward, there are still plenty of people out there using HP and Palm phones running the OS. For them, getting map information and directions has been quite the task with the webOS Google Maps-powered app. But today that should change, as the company has opted for a Bing Maps-powered mapping application for the OS.

The Wopad V7+ Tablet Is All About Angry Birds
If you at all thought that the Angry Birds phenomenon was fizzling out… well, you were wrong.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Gets Listed For Pre-Order
When Samsung first announced the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus WiFi-only tablet, they failed to mention anything about pricing or availability.

J&R electronics retailer has listed the device for pre-order in both the 32GB and 16GB flavors. Read More

Lenovo And YouTube Announce Space Lab: The Ultimate Science Fair
When I was just a wee pupil, an excellent science fair project didn't get you much.

RIM Introduces NFC-Powered BlackBerry Tag
It was all the way back in February when RIM first promised that "many, if not most" BlackBerry handsets in 2011 will feature NFC technology. It proved true with both the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, along with the BlackBerry Curve 9350/9360/9370, and we should see plenty more where that came from. That said, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie had one more trick up his sleeve at this… Read More
iPhone 4S Tops 1 Million Pre-Orders In 24 Hours
Well, what do you know? Despite all the "disappointment" over a basic refresh rather than a newly designed iPhone, Apple has still managed to break records. Apple today revealed that pre-orders for its iPhone 4S have topped one million in the span of 24 hours, putting to shame its earlier pre-order record of 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders in a day.

RadioShack's Trade-In Program May Just Get You A Free iPhone 4S
RadioShack has a trade-in program for used gadgets that (circumstances permitting) may just save you quite a bit on an iPhone 4S. Even better, if you trade in a undamaged 32GB iPhone 4 (scratch free, no battery issues, etc.), you'll get enough store credit back from RadioShack to purchase a 16GB iPhone 4S and still have money to burn. Well, not burn so much as spend on accessories or… Read More

According to a report from TechCrunch, Apple has recently implemented updates to the App Store's search engine allowing it to compensate for "misspelled queries with small typos" and provide more useful results. The update also reportedly extends to app titles that have spaces in the title:
For example, those looking for the highly ranked "QuizUp" game wouldn't have found it before if they had typed in "Quiz Up" with a space. Now it appears.
The result will ultimately be better discoverability for apps in the App Store, especially for developers targeting keywords that are commonly misspelled. As noted by TechCrunch, it's also something that has helped Google provide better results on its Play store (as highlighted in the graphic from SEO firm SearchMan above):
App Store SEO firm SearchMan had looked into the differences between the two platforms, and found that a simple misspelling of the word "calendar" (i.e., spelling it "calender") led to 100 times more results in Google Play. It seems the only iOS apps returned were those who thought to include the misspelling as one of their keywords.
The report claims the changes started rolling out on the App Store a few weeks ago.
There have been other reports in recent months that Apple is working to improve discoverability on the App Store. In August we noted Apple was testing changes to App Store algorithms to incorporate user ratings and other metrics.

now if only maps could find what I'm looking for.
The search function has been dodgy since they introduced the new app store layout a couple of years back. I was searching for Google Play Music app recently and had to scroll through a load of cheap knock-offs before I stumbled across it, about 30odd places in the results. I hope these improvements will kick in soon and return the app store to its former glory
Can't we leave it the way it was and allow Google to have all the illiterates???
Its not about illiteracy. Spelling mistakes doesnt happen only to illiterates. Because of the form factor of the phone we do get spelling mistakes and hence why we have auto correct.. This is a good step but a very very late one. Cant imagine why they didnt think of this for 6 yrs now.
Wait, which of these two companies is mainly searching engine company? Google? Oh, it doesn't look like that with that accuracy now :D :D

This sugaring season started out slowly due to the cold weather. In a recent interview with Derek Sargent, a student at the Middle School, he said that the statistics for this year's and last year's average daily amount of the syrup made each day is about the same amount, but because of the cold weather, the Sargents didn't start sugaring until late February.
This year's daily amount was roughly 25-30 gallons a day of syrup. To be able to create a large amount of syrup you need the weather be cold at night and warm in the day. The total amount of syrup produced by the Sargents from the first 5 collecting trips was 118.5 gallons. So after this point the amount of syrup production went down by about ten gallons a day to about 15-20 gallons. There is a time period from February to March 14 where they make fancy, the highest quality syrup, and then after that they make darker syrup called medium amber on the 20 of March.
On the 20 of March the sap started to run very well, causing an increase in the daily amount of the syrup. Before that it was running pretty slowly, causing low production. This season ended up on a bad note, they only made about 400 gallons of syrup and the usual amount is close to 700 gallons a season. The only thing to try is hope for a better season next year.

I've heard that potatos aren't good to feed to horses. Why is this? I have never fed a full potato to any of my horses but I have fed potato skins. Are potato skins bad for horses too? My one pony loves potato skins and I feed them to him every now and then but I've never noticed anything wrong with him when he eats it. None of my other horses like potatoes though. Do some horses react to it and some not? And is it that some horses like them and some don't, or does my pony lack the realization that potatoes aren't good for him??
Thanks for reading all that lol. I had alot of questions.

The New Yorker tackles the JK Rowling / WB vs. RDR Books/Steve Vander Ark lawsuit *UPDATED*
Interesting take on the case at The New Yorker. Wu compares this to the legend of Arachne, which incidentally fans have used to describe Severus Snape in fan forums on several occasions. Once upon a time, a talented weaver named Arachne declared herself superior in skill to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who also invented […] [Read More]

Katy Perry And Dad Attend Same Lakers Game As Ex-Husband Russell Brand
Katy Perry, along with her preacher dad Keith Hudson, were in attendance at the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Dallas Mavericks at the Staples Center on Tuesday night and guess who else made an appearance as well — yes, her ex-beau Russell Brand!
Katy looked flawless in a violet leopard skin print dress, while the British comedian, 37, was casually dressed in skinny jeans, a grey shirt and black vest.
Katy and her father seemed to be having an enjoyable time, as she was photographed cheering the Lakers on, and she even enjoyed a cold glass of beer, while Brand sat next to two of his male friends.
Perry and Brand — who divorced 14 months into their marriage — sat on opposite sides of the court and did not have any interaction. Awkward!
At one break in the game, Brand was spotted chatting with soccer hunk David Beckham who was sitting next to The Voice coach and Maroon 5 front-man Adam Levine.
Other celebs at the game included Zac Efron, Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer – and, of course, Lakers super fan Jack Nicholson.
