One should DEMAND a VERIFIED COMPLAINT to be safe.
PENAL CODE 853.9. (a) Whenever written notice to appear has been prepared,
delivered, and filed by an officer or the prosecuting attorney with the court
pursuant to the provisions of Section 853.6 of this code, an exact and legible
duplicate copy of the notice when filed with the magistrate, in lieu of a
verified complaint, shall constitute a complaint to which the defendant may
plead "guilty" or "nolo contendere."
If, however, the defendant violates his or her promise to appear in court,
or does not deposit lawful bail, or pleads other than "guilty" or "nolo
contendere" to the offense charged, a complaint shall be filed which shall
conform to the provisions of this code and which shall be deemed to be an
original complaint; and thereafter proceedings shall be had as provided by law,
except that a defendant may, by an agreement in writing, subscribed by him or
her and filed with the court, waive the filing of a verified complaint and elect
that the prosecution may proceed upon a written notice to appear.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (a) of this section,
whenever the written notice to appear has been prepared on a form approved by
the Judicial Council, an exact and legible duplicate copy of the notice when
filed with the magistrate shall constitute a complaint to which the defendant
may enter a plea and, if the notice to appear is verified, upon which a warrant
may be issued. If the notice to appear is not verified, the defendant may, at
the time of arraignment, request that a verified complaint be filed.
And last time I check, the STATE was NOT using the REQUIRED NTA.
Without a VALID COMPLAINT there are JURISDICTIONAL issues.
"In Ralph v. Police Court (1948) 84 Cal.App.2d 257 [190 P.2d 632], and Rupley
v. Johnson (1953) 120 Cal.App.2d 548, 551-552 [261 P.2d 318], it was held that a
defendant cited for and charged with violating a Vehicle Code section, who
pleads not guilty thereto and does not waive the filing of a complaint, is not
brought within the jurisdiction of the court until a verified complaint charging
him with the offense in question has been filed. (To the same effect, see dictum
in [237 Cal.App.2d 73] People v. Agnew (1952) 110 Cal.App.2d Supp. 837, 840 [242
P.2d 410].) The decisions in the above-cited cases were based upon the
provisions of former Vehicle Code, section 739.1, which are now contained
without material change in Vehicle Code, section 40513. Said decisions are
accordingly controlling of the construction to be accorded the latter section.
(Gavin v. Municipal Court (1960) 184 Cal.App.2d 712, 714 [7 Cal.Rptr. 732].)"
Anger v. Municipal Court, 237 Cal.App.2d 69 (1965)
Of course they will use your FAILURE to ASSERT your RIGHT to a VERIFIED
COMPLAINT as a WAIVER and try to CLAIM "harmless error", if you let them.
"As Witkin points out in California Criminal Procedure, section 24, page 28,
"jurisdiction" is a term of multiple meanings. In such cases as Anger v.
Municipal Court, supra, 23 Cal.App.2d 69, it was manifestly not a question of
subject-matter jurisdiction nor of jurisdiction over the person. The defendant
there was voluntarily before the court. What that court was talking about was
jurisdiction to act in accordance with statutory requirements. See the examples
supplied by Witkin, op. cit., supra, at page 32. This is simply a mode of
describing the principle that a court is obliged to act within certain statutory
constraints; it is hazardous to rely on cases employing the word "jurisdiction"
in this sense. See Witkin, op. cit., supra, page 733 for examples of defects of
jurisdiction or due process that are of such magnitude as to require reversal
per se. The instant cases are not of this magnitude.
Remedies Available to a Defendant
The message conveyed byPeople v. Wilson, supra, 60 Cal.2d 139, is that, in
general, such errors must be attacked before trial. The thrust of appellants'
argument herein is that the citation-complaint does not conform either to the
requirements of Penal Code section 853.9, subdivision (b) or to the general
requirements of Penal Code section 950 governing formal complaints. Penal Code
section 1004, subdivision 2 provides that the defendant may demur to the
complaint before entry of a plea when it "does not substantially conform to the
provisions of Sections 950 and 952 ...." Penal Code section 1012 in turn
provides that such objections can be taken only by demurrer, and "failure so to
take it shall be deemed a waiver thereof"--except for objections to the
jurisdiction of the court, a possibility we have already disposed of above. It
might be arguable that a pretrial motion to dismiss should be available in an
unusual case, but that issue is not before us. The provisions of Penal Code
section 1007 highlight the policy of the law favoring liberal amendment: "If the
demurrer is sustained ... the court must, if the defect can be remedied, permit
the filing of an amended complaint within such time not exceeding 10 days as it
may fix." (Italics added.) [3] If the trial court erroneously overrules the
demurrer or denies leave to amend, the defendant's remedy is by pretrial writ
proceedings. [160 Cal.App.3d Supp. 9] If the writ is erroneously denied, then in
accordance withPeople v. Wilson, supra, 60 Cal.2d 139,there is no appellate
remedy available, unless the appellant can show that he has suffered prejudice.
Such a showing is hard to imagine in cases of this kind. [2b] At all events, the
present appellants did not get over the first hurdle of challenging the error
before trial, by demurrer or otherwise.
The Law Favors Disposition Upon the Merits, Not Upon Procedural Niceties
The California Constitution and the Penal Code make it abundantly clear that,
except in extraordinarily compelling cases, judgments are not to be reversed for
procedural errors. (Cal. Const., art. VI, ? 13; Pen. Code, ?? 960, 1258,
1404 and 1469.) fn. 6" People v. Gompper (1984) 160 Cal.App.3d Supp. 1 , 207
Just like they do with everything, ASSENT means CONSENT.

Patrick, the prosecution is not required to file another complaint unless the
defendant makes a request for it (even if a request is made, the law may have
changed where a new complaint is not required if the cop signed the ticket under
penalty of perjury). Pleading "not guilty" makes no difference if the defendant
doesn't request a new complaint. The traffic ticket is the complaint in most
circumstances, and the California legislature has said that for the traffic
ticket to be a complaint, the "uniform traffic ticket and summons" must be used.

- Former Bixby board member says he questioned firm's finances
After sleeping on it for a few weeks, Patrick Hopf's back liked the air mattress that Robert Walker had invented in the 1980s.
But Hopf's business background told him that Walker's idea for the future of Select Comfort Corp. wasn't the right one.
"He had a plan. I didn't agree with the plan," Hopf testified Thursday at Walker's fraud trial in St. Paul. Hopf is the former CEO of St. Paul Venture Capital, a company Walker recruited in 1990 to buy into the small mattress startup and provide much-needed capital.
Walker, 71, is on trial in St. Paul for defrauding investors with his next venture, Ramsey-based Bixby Energy Systems. Several Bixby investors have testified that Walker's background as the founder of Select Comfort assured them that Bixby -- a corn stove and alternative energy company -- was a good investment.
Prosecutors have displayed Bixby marketing materials that trumpet Walker's experience in growing Select Comfort into a mattress giant. But it was just another example, they said, of Bixby Energy lying to its investors.
When Hopf first got a call from Walker, he was skeptical about an air mattress company. But he met with Walker and bought a bed to try it out. Hopf's bad back -- which he had hurt when he was a teen -- started feeling much better.
At the time, Select Comfort had sales of about $25,000 per month, but its costs were closer to $50,000 per month. The company was selling its mattresses through larger retailers, such as Dayton-Hudson.
Hopf made an offer to Walker that included $1 million for half of Select Comfort, a change in management, a direct-sales strategy with ads in magazines to attract customers -- and the eventual departure of Walker's wife and daughter from the company.
Walker initially turned him down. But in March 1991, Walker called Hopf back. He said Select Comfort was two to three weeks from bankruptcy and he was ready to take Hopf's earlier offer.
Hopf was the interim CEO at Select Comfort, now based in Plymouth, in the early 1990s. On the witness stand Thursday, he described Walker as a sales guy and an inventor, but said Walker is naive about business and marketing, and is undisciplined.
"He would go off on tangents," Hopf said. "It's a way inventors often work."
Hopf, who is now retired in California, saw an enormous market for the Select Comfort mattress. He thought the company could capture a significant share of the $7 billion mattress industry.
St. Paul Venture Capital brought in a new CEO and management team and set up direct marketing with ads in about 200 magazines per month. Walker remained at Select Comfort until 1993, heading research and development of the mattress product. But he didn't have input into how the business was run and marketed.
By 1996, Select Comfort's annual sales were more than $80 million, and the company went public in 1998.
Fast forward to 2011, when Walker was indicted for his role at Bixby, accused of lying to investors to get their money. A total of 1,800 investors lost $57 million.
Walker faces 18 charges, including mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, witness tampering and tax evasion. His defense attorneys say Walker believed in Bixby's technology for converting coal into oil and gas, and never intended to defraud anyone.
But as with the Select Comfort touts, prosecutors say he lied about Bixby's technology and performance to raise more money, defrauding investors.
Walker's pitch about how he built up Select Comfort factored into Mark Wokojance's decision to invest in Bixby back in 2002.
"I figured if he did it once, he was going to do it again," Wokojance, an Ohio resident, testified Thursday.
Securities regulations limited the type of private investors Bixby Energy could bring on board. Wokojance testified that he didn't meet the income or net worth requirements. When he told Walker that he couldn't meet the standard to be a qualified investor, Walker told him, "I didn't hear you say that."
Walker advised Wokojance to send back the papers and invest in the firm.
Wokojance, who lost more than $20,000, also was active on blogs where investors shared information and opinions about Bixby. He said some came to refer to Bixby as the "Great Pumpkin Energy Co." The name came from the pumpkin that never showed up on Halloween for Linus, the "Peanuts" character who remained ever hopeful.

Miley Cyrus vs. P!nk at the 2012 VMAs: Who Wore the Blond Pompadour Best? (PHOTOS)
The entertainment world was shocked when Miley Cyrus debuted her dramatic new haircut back in August, but what few failed to realize was that singer P!nk had been sporting almost the same style for years.
But the similarities were unavoidable at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 6 in Los Angeles, Calif. The pop singers graced the red carpet with swept-up blonde 'dos and shaved sides.

Gear Question
Hi, could anyone tell me what kind of...
Hi, could anyone tell me what kind of bindings works with this board? Only those with EST can be fitted?
And, if anyone can suggest me a good binding that can be paired with this board, I will really appreciate it.
Wooden Robots
Disk bindings will work. EST bindings will not. If you like soft bindings then check out the Missions. http://www.dogfunk.com/burton-mission-snowboard-binding
Hi Lyman,
Thanks for your quick reply. But are you sure that the EST bindings do not work with the Burton Blunt board? Because I saw in the "Burton Boards Lookbook" from the Burton website two combination of a Blunt board and a Malavita EST binding.
And the thing is that based on that "look book" I have ordered the Mission EST bindings and now I am scared that they will not fit on the board.

From our forums
We are so tuned into body language it is amazing. People don't realize that we notice even the tiniest movements and that sends signals to us.
I have often thought that many people who feel that they are psychic are actually just highly tuned into reading body language. The feelings they get when they "read" people is actually just reading body language.
"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Motile Companion Stick cannot speak. In the event that the Motile Companion Stick does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice."
I've noticed the roomba effect becomes even more pronounced with the application of googly eyes, as if where it sits on the scale between Appliance and Pet shifts when it almost but not quite has the beginnings of a face.
It makes me have a funny feeling when I read these sorts of discussions and everyone is talking about, "Ha, that machine totally fooled us into thinking it was human and it is nothing but a bunch of switches." and never, "Damn, what if we are just a bunch of switches and fooling ourselves most of the time."
The phone call, we traced it. It's coming from inside your own head!

show description
MWF 900am-1000am CLA 1.104
This course will be a mixture of both Micro and Macro Economics. Students who wish to be an Economics major MAY NOT use this course toward the major and should take ECO 304K and ECO 304L.
- Students will learn how economists describe and measure the economy, in the aggregate, as well as specific markets such as the labor market, the housing market, financial markets, and international trade. Concepts for measurement and data will be covered.
- Students will learn how economists organize their analysis of economic choices by thinking about how individuals (i) respond to incentives, (ii) seek out exchange in markets, and (iii) form, and participate in, various economic institutions.
- Students will learn how to think about strategic behavior (for example, markets with a small number of firms, or negotiating trade agreements among a small number of countries).
- Students will learn about "externalities" and "public goods," which, by conferring costs or benefits that are not appropriated by individuals or that are "non-rival" in nature (for example, once discovered, a technology can be used by many at the same time), provide reasons for government regulation, taxation, and government-provided goods and services.

MADISON - Krist Oil Co. of Iron River, Michigan has agreed to pay civil forfeitures to resolve allegations that it violated Wisconsin's consumer protection law, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today. The Wisconsin Department of Justice brought a civil action in Marinette County Circuit Court, charging the company with illegally raising the posted prices of gasoline more than once in a 24 hour period at several of its outlets. The alleged violations occurred at motor fuel outlets the company operated in Neenah, Peshtigo, Marinette, Eagle River, Lakewood and Superior.
Wisconsin law requires that every wholesaler or other entity selling or distributing motor fuel in the state keep posted, in a conspicuous place, the net selling price per gallon of all grades of motor fuel and the amount of all taxes per gallon. Under the law, all prices posted shall remain in effect for at least 24 hours. The law provides up to $200 in forfeitures per violation.
"The gas pricing law is clear," J.B. Van Hollen said. "Posted prices are to remain in effect for at least 24 hours following a price change. My office will continue to work with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to ensure that this consumer protection law is followed and enforced."
Upon receiving consumer complaints, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection investigated the case and referred it to the Department of Justice for prosecution. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, multiple complaints from Wisconsin consumers concerning gas prices - including complaints against Krist Oil - were reported to the state.
In the court's judgment, entered upon a stipulation between the company and the Department of Justice, Krist Oil was ordered to pay $3,933. As part of the payment, $800 will be allocated to a Marinette County first responder's unit.
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection conducted the initial investigation. Assistant Attorney General Nelle Rohlich represented the State in the court proceedings.

The FDL Book Salon is so happy to welcome Peter Daou, who will be leading today's discussion on the first half of Eric Boehlert's book Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush. Peter has done the overview for Lapdogs for us today, and I know this is going to be an amazing starting point for discussion for everyone.– CHS
Lapdogs, Pt. I — From Peter Daou
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us – Lord Byron
Notwithstanding the absurdly anachronistic rightwing claim of "liberal" media bias, George W. Bush's ascent to the highest office in the land and his subsequent 5+ years in office have been marked by uniquely supplicant media coverage. Beginning with the Daily Howler(who deconstructed anti-Gore narratives in 2000) to Media Matters, bloggers and online media watchers have documented the media's pattern of Bush-propping and Dem-bashing.
This blatant sycophancy reached jaw-dropping heights (or depths) around Bush's Mission Accomplished photo-op. It was a low point for the American press, with journalists like NBC's Brian Williams saying, "two immutable truths about the president that the Democrats can't change: He's a youthful guy. He looked terrific and full of energy in a flight suit. He is a former pilot, so it's not a foreign art form to him. Not all presidents could have pulled this scene off today."
MSNBC's Chris Matthews, never one to be outdone in the Bush-fawning department, went further: "He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics…. He's like Eisenhower. He looks great in a military uniform. He looks great in that cowboy costume he wears when he goes West. I remember him standing at that fence with Colin Powell. Was [that] the best picture in the 2000 campaign?
Bush's approval ratings have plummeted since those heady days. With polls in the basement and reporters forced to abandon their blatant sycophancy in favor of more subtle Bush-propping techniques, it's easy to forget the level of obsequiousness evidenced by the above quotes. Along comes Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush, Eric Boehlert's new book, to remind us – in vivid detail – how the press "rolled over" for Bush. Lapdogs is a thorough examination of America's media problem. Sorting through copious material, Boehlert deals with a number of media transgressions, including The Note's bootlicking, the media's shameful role in the Swift Boat sliming of John Kerry, the Downing Street memo blackout, and much more.
The media's failure to ask tough questions in the run-up to the Iraq invasion provides abundant fodder:
"It's not fair to suggest the MSM alone convinced Americans to send some sons and daughter to fight. But the press went out of its way to tell a pleasing, administration-friendly tale about the pending war. In truth, Bush never could have ordered the invasion of Iraq — never could have sold the idea at home — if it weren't for the help he received from the MSM, and particularly the stamp of approval he received from so-called liberal media institutions such as the Washington Post, which in February of 2003 alone, editorialized in favor of war nine times. (Between September 2002 and February 2003, the paper editorialized twenty-six times in favor of the war.) The Post had plenty of company from the liberal East Coast media cabal, with high-profile columnists and editors — the newfound liberal hawks — at the New Yorker, Newsweek, Time, the New York Times, the New Republic and elsewhere all signing on for a war of preemption.
By the time the invasion began, the de facto position among the Beltway chattering class was clearly one that backed Bush and favored war. Years later the New York Times Magazine wrote that most "journalists in Washington found it almost inconceivable, even during the period before a fiercely contested midterm election [in 2002], that the intelligence used to justify the war might simply be invented." Hollywood peace activists could conceive it, but serious Beltway journalists could not? That's hard to believe. More likely journalists could conceive it but, understanding the MSM unspoken guidelines — both social and political — were too timid to express it at the time of war." [Note: Boehlert uses the common abbreviation 'MSM' to describe the mainstream media — others have used 'establishment', 'legacy', 'corporate', 'traditional' or 'old' media
Boehlert describes the timidity of reporters in the months after 9/11 and the media's muted response as the White House used the attacks to beat the drums of war:
"ABC News's White House correspondent Terry Moran claimed he was offended when he overheard two print reporters talking inside the briefing room in January 2002, as they awaited spokesman Ari Fleischer's arrival to face mounting questions about the administration's role in the burgeoning Enron business scandal. "I heard people saying, 'All right, we're back, to hell with the war [in Afghanistan],' as if chasing the shadows and ghosts of potential appearances or possible conflicts of interest [regarding Enron] was more important than the war the country had been thrust into," Moran told American Journalism Review. "I was shocked … I'm not sure that lower Manhattan had actually stopped smoldering." Four months after the attacks of 9/11, Moran thought it was still inappropriate for reporters to pose tough questions to the White House.
"That was the prevailing MSM attitude as 2002 unfolded. Then halfway through the year the administration doubled down and secured another round of free passes when it signaled its interest in invading Iraq. Between the War on Terror and the war with Iraq, the Bush White House all but guaranteed itself a timid press corps that emphasized its megaphone function. The MSM coverage of the War on Terror and their reporting during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq were inexorably linked. By the time the invasion was launched in March of 2003, the press was so comfortable having spent the previous year lying down for the White House and its foreboding War on Terror, that it could not muster enough energy to get up off the floor."
Lapdogs should be required reading for Democratic leaders and strategists who still wonder why their message doesn't break through the media filter. Speaking of Democrats, I'll give the last word to Sen. John Kerry – subject of an entire chapter – who has this to say about the book: "From Vietnam, to Watergate and the Iran Contra scandal, a free, independent, and probing press has always served almost as a fourth branch of government holding politicians accountable. Eric Boehlert asks some tough and compelling questions about what really motivates and moves the American press today. Agree, disagree, but don't ignore – this is a book all voters should read and it will spark some heated discussions in journalism classes everywhere."

Wheel Slip
The wheel slip on the very steep hill was in dry conditions. However the road had been polished smooth and there was a fair amount of dust on the road from the fields. If my aim had been just to get up the hill then I would have tried to ride further up, but as I still had 20 miles to go I didn't want to fall over and break something on the bike.
Next time I must take a camera - as the ride far more scenic on a Cruzbike - In fact I wish I'd gone slower at some points just to take in the views!!
... my next planned big ride is a 130 miles over night trip with ultra light camping gear. Definitely taking a camera with me that time!!

Perseverance pays for Rouse
Marshall University football player James Rouse will never forget that number.
That's the number of days Rouse sat out injured between the third game of the 2011 season against Ohio on Sept. 17 and the first game of this season when he took the field against Miami (Ohio) on Aug. 31.
It was like a sentence or some cruel punishment for Rouse, who was kept from doing everything he loved. The back injury in 2011 was followed by an Achilles injury in 2012, which meant extensive rehabilitation and a long time away from the field.
Rouse made the most of his return while remembering what it was like without football. He was vindicated Sunday when teammates voted him as the Most Valuable Player of this year's team. The award was announced at the team banquet.
"It just felt good that my teammates wanted to recognize me as that," Rouse said. "From a year ago, me not really doing anything to now being the team MVP, I really appreciate it."
Rouse's MVP status isn't just about his climb back from injury, although given his success, it could be enough to warrant the status.
It's also that Rouse came into the season learning a new position.
When Rouse came to Marshall from Harrisonburg, Va., he was a sleek, 195-pound defensive end.
Now 265 pounds, he still possesses the explosiveness and instincts of an end off the line of scrimmage, but as a defensive tackle also has the strength to get through the meat of the offensive line to make plays and disrupt the flow.
Rouse has 35 tackles this season with a team-best 12 going for loss, including four quarterback sacks.
"He was voted MVP by his teammates, voted captain and of course was all-conference, which is just a great reward for a guy who deserves it," Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. "I can't think of any guy who deserves it any more than what he does because of the adversity he's been through and the way he's fought through it and come back to have a great year for us."
Heading into the Military Bowl game on Dec. 27 thoughts were that it might be Rouse's final time suiting up with the Herd because of the options he had. But, while he missed two years because of medical hardships, he was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, but it wasn't known if he would utilize it.
Rouse, who is married, had already graduated and with the injuries he has had could have decided to move on from football and begin a different chapter in his life. And, with the successful year he's had, Rouse also could have opted to move on to the professional ranks and start making a living doing what he loves.
However, while accepting the MVP award, Rouse announced he will indeed come back for another season with the Herd in 2014, marking another key returnee for a team loaded with returning talent.
"There's a lot of different factors," Rouse said. "The NFL? It's always going to be there. College -- a lot of people say you only live this experience once so you need to make the most of it. I only really played one year of football at a high level and I just wanted to do that again and want to get that conference championship because we got so close this year."
Rouse's story has served as an example for many of the Herd's younger players -- many of which had never been on the field with him because of the injuries.
Now, those lessons will continue to ring through for the 2014 team.
And, Rouse already knows what the message will be.
"Anything is possible," Rouse said. "Don't give up on your dreams because anything can happen."

Israel's Favored Candidate Wins Indian Elections

The Battle
Interlude: Sex, Zion and Olympics
Baby Bamba
Logo War
Most American readers are probably chuckling at the picture and the entire issue. Worse things have been published elsewhere. To them, I want to clarify two points. First, a similar attack on the Israeli Prime Minister cannot be published in the Israeli media. It would be censored. Second, if it were published by, let's say, Al-Jazeera, they would be blamed (and sued) for being anti-Semitic by the ADL or some other similar organization.
Overall, it seems we are witnessing a calculated, and long term media attack with the help of recurring cartoons which are considered effective; in advertising, babies are considered major attractors. Yesterday, Baby Bamba was pulled out of its international anonymity for a second time in three years; the cute baby—appealing mainly to a North-Atlantic public—would make sure the team will have positive press, especially when placed next to the "Zion" logo of the games. "Zion-baby is cute," is the message people around the world will get. This is a Logo War complementing the War on Terror in odd directions. Israel seems to be using this in the delivery of very specific messages. In Israel, racism is relative, and snacks can be weapons.

Today, the FCC kicked off the first announcement of Connect America fund deployment in the nation with events in rural California and Nevada. At ribbon-cutting events, I was joined by Frontier Communications CEO Maggie Wilderotter and met local residents, tribal, and business leaders that will benefit from the opportunities high-speed Internet will deliver to these areas. In these areas, broadband build-out will happen thanks to Frontier Communications, the first carrier to accept Connect America funding.
My first stop was Alpine County, California, a 100 percent rural county with the smallest county population in the state, where broadband has recently been built out for more than 600 homes and small businesses in the area. Here I met local business, firemen, and other public safety officials, who told me how broadband has improved their lives. I also met a local grandmother, who is now able to download photos of her grandchildren, and appreciated that broadband does truly 'connect' America. I also saw the Washoe Tribal Community, where tribe leaders told me how more than 200 members of their community now have access to high-speed Internet.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:88:height=93,width=70]]Today, I am honored to be at the World Trade Center site with New York City Mayor Bloomberg, FEMA Administrator Fugate, and the heads of the nation's largest wireless carriers to announce an important initiative to harness the power of communications technology to enhance public safety and save lives.
The Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN)is a new technology and service that will turn your mobile device into an emergency alert device with potentially life-saving messages when public safety is threatened.
How will it do this? PLAN will allow government officials to send text-like alerts to everyone in a targeted geographic area with an enabled mobile device. Since the alerts are geographically targeted, they will reach the right people, at the right time, with the right messages.
PLAN creates a fast lane for emergency alerts, so this vital information is guaranteed to get through even if there's congestion in the network.
This new technology could make a tremendous difference during disasters like the recent tornadoes in Alabama where minutes – or even seconds – of extra warning could make the difference between life and death. And we saw the difference alerting systems can make in Japan, where they have an earthquake early warning system that issued alerts that saved lives.
Today, we are announcing that AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon have put PLAN on the fast track.
Thanks to a public-private collaboration with the FCC, FEMA, wireless carriers and the city of New York, PLAN will be up and running in New York City by the end of the year – at least two quarters ahead of schedule.
By next April, it will be deployed in cities across the country by not only the carriers represented here today, but also by many others, including Leap, MetroPCS, and USCellular.
Almost everyone seems to agree that the openness of the Internet is essential -- it has unleashed an enormous wave of innovation, economic growth, job creation, small business generation, and vibrant free expression.
But for too long, the freedom and openness of the Internet has been unprotected. No rules on the books to protect basic Internet values. No process for monitoring Internet openness as technology and business models evolve.
No recourse for innovators, consumers, or speakers harmed by improper practices. And no predictability for Internet service providers, so that they can effectively manage and invest in broadband networks.
Earlier today, that all changed.
As a result of a vote, which was just taken by the FCC, we have -- for the first time -- enforceable rules of the road to preserve Internet freedom and openness.
The rules we have adopted are straightforward, and they enshrine a set of key principles.
First, consumers and innovators have a right to know the basic performance characteristics of their Internet access and how their network is being managed. We have adopted a transparency rule that will give consumers and innovators the clear and simple information they need to make informed choices in choosing networks or designing the next killer app.
Second, consumers and innovators have a right to send and receive lawful traffic -- to go where they want, say what they want, experiment with ideas -- commercial and social, and use the devices of their choice. Our new rules thus prohibit the blocking of lawful content, apps, services, and the connection of devices to the network.
Third, consumers and innovators have a right to a level playing field. No central authority, public or private, should have the power to pick winners and losers on the Internet; that's the role of the commercial market and the marketplace of ideas.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:88:height=93,width=70]]The impact that Internet entrepreneurs have made on the world is unquestioned. These businesses push the limits of innovation and move America's economy forward, bound only by their imagination as they grow and expand their reach. This free spirit of creativity doesn't just make new tech, it also helps create new jobs. Small businesses and start-ups have accounted for more than 22 million new American jobs over the last 15 years. And broadband has played a central part, enabling small business to lower their costs and reach new customers in new markets around the country and, indeed, the globe. As these businesses grow stronger, they make room for new jobs that help America compete in the global technology marketplace. Take eBay, for example, which in its short history has been a force multiplier for economic production, facilitating 60 billion dollars a year in economic activity. The animating force behind all of these efforts is a shared appreciation for the Internet's wondrous contributions to our economy and our way of life. Over the past generation we've seen American-made Internet innovations connect people across the globe. Social networking tools, online video services, and other new tech haven't just changed the way we stay in touch -- they've helped create a booming sector of unbound creativity and economic opportunity. I've learned a key lesson from these entrepreneurs and their businesses. Their spectacular growth is powered by a core value, one shared by the founders of our nation and the architects of the Internet: restrictions on freedom shackle the human spirit, and constrain the promise of bold, new ventures.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:88:height=93,width=70]]After months of hard work we have reached an important milestone in the fight to protect a free and open Internet for all Americans.
Today, the FCC proposed basic rules of the road to preserve the open Internet as a platform for innovation, investment, job creation, competition, and free expression. If adopted later this month, these basic rules will mean several things for consumers, namely:
The openness of the Internet has enabled unparalleled innovation and job growth, yet we continue to find examples of this freedom being attacked. We have found instances when broadband providers position themselves as gatekeepers to the Internet, and have prevented consumers from using applications of their choice without disclosing what they were doing.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:88:height=93,width=70]]Just last week, President Obama said that to create jobs today and lay the foundation for economic growth and U.S. competitiveness in the future, "We need … a smart system of infrastructure equal to the needs of the 21st century."
When most people think of infrastructure, they think of visible projects like highways, bridges or high-speed rail.
But just as vital is our invisible infrastructure – the electromagnetic spectrum that travels unseen through the air and enables all of our wireless communications networks, cellular voice and data services, as well as radio, broadcast TV, and satellite.
Wireless innovation fuels economic growth and job creation. Sales of smartphone "apps" – an industry that didn't exist a few years ago -- topped $4 billion in 2009; our new apps economy has created many jobs and can create more. Our invisible infrastructure also supports breakthrough tools to improve education through mobile online learning and e-books, enhance health care through potentially life-saving remote diagnostics, and promote energy efficiency by supporting the smart grid.
But we are at an inflection point.
The explosive growth in mobile communications is outpacing our ability to keep up. Spectrum is finite. If we don't act to update our spectrum policies for the 21st century, we're going to run into a wall – a spectrum crunch – that will stifle American innovation and economic growth and cost us the opportunity to lead the world in mobile communications.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:88:height=93,width=70]]New technology is an exciting thing, and what's happening in the mobile space is simply incredible. With any new technology, consumers need to be empowered to address concerns quickly and with simple solutions.
During the October Open Commission Meeting we took bold moves on our consumer empowerment agenda. Following the meeting I recorded a video that outlines how the FCC is taking on important consumer issues — like bill shock — to empower and educate Americans.
Watch the video to learn more, then leave your comments below.
On the way in this morning, I got an email from a friend that rings familiar to way too many Americans.
My friend said that he incurred $2,000 in extra data charges while on a trip overseas, despite buying an "international plan." He added that this was "more than 15 times" what he had expected to pay.
He was a victim of what we at the FCC call "bill shock," and, according to our research, there are 30 million Americans just like him.
Bill shock occurs when consumers see their bills jump unexpectedly by tens, hundreds, or thousands of dollars from one month to the next. Common cases are when a subscriber is charged for unknowingly exceeding his or her allotments for voice, text or data, or gets hit with roaming charges that are unexpected.
A few hours ago, I delivered a speech highlighting what the FCC is doing to put an end to bill shock, as well as other fees and billing practices that are giving consumers headaches.
I'm proud that the FCC is pursuing an aggressive Consumer Empowerment Agenda. In a nutshell, our strategy is to educate, empower, and enforce.
We are working to harness technology and promote transparency to empower consumers with the information they need to make smart decisions and to make the market work. And when there is bad conduct in the market, the FCC has acted, and we will continue to act. Consumers must know that the FCC's got their back.

|- FLSA Hours Worked Advisor
A homeworker is any employee employed to perform work at home for an employer.
You may review the information on "suffer or permit to work" by clicking on the underlined text.
Examples of work performed by homeworkers are:
All of the time your employee spends at home as a homeworker is not hours worked for you or your business. Ordinarily, your employee will engage in normal private pursuits such as eating, sleeping, cleaning, and other periods when no work is being performed for you or your business.
The hours your employee actually works as a homeworker includes time he or she spends preparing materials, cleaning up and traveling to and from the company to pick up and return finished work. If your employee reports (to pick up or return work) at the time you designated and is required to wait, such waiting time is hours worked. If your employee reports at a time other than that which you specified, the waiting time will not be considered hours worked.
There are special recordkeeping requirements which apply to homeworkers. Click on the underlined text to learn more about working at home. For more information, please contact your local Wage and Hour District Office.
Employment of homeworkers in certain industries is restricted and requires certification. If you have employees who work at home in the following industries you need to contact your local Wage and Hour District Office.

I completed my Ph.D at Queen's University in 2012. My research has been focused on exploring the link between speech perception and production. The two sides of spoken language are linked somehow is not in dispute, the neural mechanisms subserving the link, however, remain unclear. An indepth understanding of the coupling between the auditory perception and articulation is crucial to the study of human communication, and instrumental to the investigation of sensory-motor integration in general. I have been using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Centre for Neuroscience Studies to examine the brain regions in which activity during speech production is modulated based on an array of manipulated auditory feedback, which are presumably the regions that are implicated in the online vocal motor control. In addition, I am working on a behavioral study that investigates how sensitive we are to the vocalizations of ourselves and others.
I hold an M.Sc. (Master of Science) in Neuroscience from Queen's University, an M.A.Sc (Master of Applied Science) in Software Engineering and Mathematical Optimization from McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, and a B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

Photo Shop Elements??
I use PSP but it seems like mostly everything is for Photoshop..so to start out what version should I get?? Is 11 the newest?? Should I start with it or get a older version?? And anyone know of any tutorials to get me started?? I have no idea how to do anything at all in Photoshop....And what is the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements??
Last edited by nanasdinky; 09-02-2013 at 07:28 AM.
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
OK, I'll give some quick replies but I know there are those out there a lot more educated then I. When I started PSE, I started with the latest version which at the time was PSE 8. You should start with PSE 11. If you're going to learn, you may as well learn with the latest and get all the updated benefits.
Photoshop, to me, is more for the professional (please, designers, correct me if I'm wrong). Its much more advanced and I believe this is what the designers use. Since I don't design, I never saw a need for it---also carries a hefty price tag!!! Photoshop Element is more for everyday use. I just like to digi scrap and make layouts so PSE was enough for me.
I hope others will step in and expand on this.
As for lessons, I learned on a site that does nothing but teach PSE. Not sure if I'm allowed to state the name of the site where I learned, but I would just google Photoshop Elements lessons. I also purchased the Dummies book for PSE 8 and found that really helpful---but its a LOT of reading!!!
And ask away here as these gal are so friendly and helpful. This is a great place to be!!
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
I think currently Photoshop Elements is the only product available for purchase. Photoshop has been incorporated into Adobe's subscription program which requires a monthly payment. I have not found it available for outright purchase in recent months. When I started I did use Photoshop Elements exclusively and found it met most of my needs. However once I ventured into actions, the version that I was using did not support much at all in the way of actions. And with some of the newer features of CS5, I eventually moved exclusively to that. BUT, with the subscription program, I likely will not upgrade again.
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
Thanks Ladies..I just want to scrap...I have no real interest in designing except to make something for myself basically
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
I also started with PSP then switched to PSE7 which I got free with *something* (I forget what). I was able to apply my knowledge of using layers, etc. to PSE7 without too much trouble at all and I bet you'll do the same.
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
I hope so.....but now Im worried because I know I will be wanting to buy all kinds of different things now...Ive ALWAYS wanted to do text on a path and havent been able to in PSP! lol gonna have to get a 2nd job to get all these new goodies !
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
PSP does let you do text on a path. There are several ways to do it. Now depending on the version you have it may differ a little, but the basics are the same. Here are a couple of ways. If you want to put the text around an element or photo: Use the ellipse tool or the preset shape tool to use other shapes. Hold the mouse down and drag until you get the ellipse or shape you want. I does not matter what color it is. Place it where you want it and drag to the size you need. Now to add text, click on the Text Tool. Position your mouse over the spot on the ellipse where you want your text to start and hover your mouse there until your cursor shows the Text Tool with a "smile" under it. You may have to wiggle it a little until it changes. Type your text. Use any font or size. It will follow the shape. Now go to the layers pallet and the vector layer with the ellipse and text showing. Click the plus sign on that layer. It will divide the layer into text and ellipse. Click on the eye by the ellipse. It will hide it and leave the text. To move or enlarge it, turn the ellipse on and move or enlarge that then hide it again. An other way to do this is with the freehand tool. Works the same way so follow the same steps. Text will follow what you draw. Play with it a bit. Have fun with it. Play with the warp text or kerning to see what you can do to change it. If you need more help with it try the help button or the learning center at Corel. Or send me a PM, I will help if I can. Another great help is a book called "Picture yourself learning Paint Shop Pro"
Re: Photo Shop Elements??
I started with PSE10 then up-graded to PSE11 and have not been sorry. Loading styles and brushes with 11 is so much easier. I don't do designing so PSE is great for my needs. I did invest in "The Missing Manuel" for 10 and will be getting the one for PSE11 soon. It is a great reference book in addition to helping you get started. Good luck on whatever program you decide to get.

Re: Photo Shop Elements??
Jimmyrose - you did a great job explaining text on a path in PSP. I knew how to do it but not how to explain it!

John Heck
A Montague. A Capulet.
'Twas at a masquerade they met.
Two strangers caught each other's eyes
as strains of love began to rise.
Upon a courtyard balcony,
amidst the angst of family,
'twas there the pair professed love's need -
though Kismet's kiss would intercede.
Alas, the banes of passion bleed -
resolving gest through tragedy.
The foils of fate singed hot as coals
yet death would reunite their souls.
Two hearts in heaven overflow -
One Juliet. One Romeo.
