Justice Dept completes inquiry of text messaging rates
updated 10:30 pm EST, Thu January 14, 2010
Government will not take action
The Justice Department has finally completed its investigation over text messaging fees charged by carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile, according to the Wall Street Journal. Industry and government officials familiar with the matter claim the Department's antitrust division has decided not to intervene, effectively leaving the carriers to continue business as usual.
The text-messaging rate inquiry had been spearheaded by Senator Herb Kohl, chairman of the Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights subcommittee. The group pushed for investigation after the four largest carriers doubled their text messaging fees, with increases from 10 cents to 20 cents per message. Kohl argues that the cost to the phone companies has remained less than a penny per message.
Although the text messaging investigation appears to be finished for now, the government has since initiated several other probes into common industry practices. Verizon has been asked to explain its recent increase in early termination fees (ETFs) for smartphones, which now tops out at $350 for devices such as the Motorola Droid. The FCC claimed Verizon's justification was unsatisfying and sometimes "troubling."

PITTSBURGH -- The special Winter Classic uniform looked good on him and the brand new equipment felt just right, but Andrew Gordon has no idea where all of that is right now and he pretty much assumes he'll never see it again.
Gordon played eight games for the Washington Capitals this month and had his first career NHL goal "immortalized on HBO," he told NHL.com. But unless something crazy happens between now and Saturday he'll be in Hershey, Pa. when the main event, the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic between the Caps and Pittsburgh Penguins, is taking place at Heinz Field.
The Capitals sent Gordon and Keith Aucoin down to the Hershey Bears of the AHL on Wednesday. Similarly, after playing three games and recording two points with the Penguins, Dustin Jeffrey was shipped to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this past Sunday. Goaltender John Curry joined him a few days later.
All four are still holding out hope that maybe, just maybe they'll get that call to come back and join the NHL clubs on Saturday, but it seems like a farfetched dream right now.
They got to take part in the Winter Classic carnival that's going on in this city this week by playing for the AHL Penguins in their game at Consol Energy Center on Thursday night, but the brand new arena in downtown seems so far away from the gridiron turned rink on Pittsburgh's north shore.
"Obviously you can say we're so close, but I have said it all along that if I was an injured player I would be getting back for this game," Gordon told NHL.com. "It would take an awful bad case of the flu or an awful bad stroke of luck in the morning skate for me to not play in that game, so I am sure the boys are pretty much the same way."
Jeffrey and Gordon at least got a taste of the Winter Classic hype and buzz with short-lived starring roles in the HBO series that's documenting the Penguins and Capitals leading up to Saturday's game.
Gordon, of course, had his first career NHL goal featured in the series. He might find his way into episode four as well considering he was mic'd for the AHL game Thursday. Gordon was leading the Bears with 16 goals and 31 points entering the game.
You may remember Jeffrey as the guy in the middle of Penguins coach Dan Bylsma and GM Ray Shero during an awkward meeting following a game against the Rangers on Dec. 15. Bylsma and Shero were shown telling Jeffrey that he was being sent down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
"Well, it wasn't as awkward as getting sent down," Jeffrey said of watching himself getting sent down on HBO.
He was called up on Dec. 23 and skated in warm-ups in Washington prior to the Winter Classic tune-up between the Pens and Caps, but got sent right back down three days later. Jeffrey had a team-high 33 points for the Baby Pens.
"I got called up and sent down in three episodes," he joked. "I don't know if it was good or bad if I made that much face time on that show."
Aucoin got called up in time to make his season debut for the Capitals on Tuesday against Montreal because Mathieu Perreault and Marcus Johansson were unavailable. He admitted the Winter Classic was the first thought that crossed his mind when he got the call from GM George McPhee, but he was sent down on Wednesday.
"When you get called up that close to something like that you're hoping to be there," Aucoin, who entered Thursday with 24 points in 15 games this season with the Bears, told NHL.com. "I was hoping to be there all week to at least be a part of it and there is still a little chance that if someone can't go, I get called up. Hopefully I'll play good tonight, turn some heads and maybe I'll get the chance anyways."
He knows it's a longshot, but why not at least hold out hope?
"I'm going to keep my phone on just in case," he said with a smile. "Maybe I'll have a message after the game."
Curry is pretty sure Shero won't be calling him. He was with the Penguins as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup for three games only because Brent Johnson had a minor groin injury and then the flu.
Johnson was back for Wednesday's game against the Islanders, so Curry was sent back to the AHL, where he is 11-5 with a 2.33 goals-against average this season.
He had a feeling that sticking it out until the Winter Classic wasn't really going to happen.
"It was in the back of my head for sure, but it never was that realistic with the injury Johnson had because it wasn't that serious," Curry told NHL.com. "He's a guy who has had a long career and probably deserves it a lot more than me, but that being said it would have been really cool and I'm pretty jealous of those guys.
"It would be pretty cool to not play in that game and just be on the bench to back up. It's a big spectacle. It's historic."
History will have to be made without these guys.
Yeah, it's a bummer.
"The first day I got there they told me to break in all my stuff, so we were that close," Gordon said. "It just didn't happen."

Brady bullish about port growth
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- August 13, 2014
BULLISH Townsville port chairman, Pat Brady, has backed moves to privatise the asset, saying it will unlock the cash needed for major expansion, including growing live cattle exports to as much as one million head a year.
The Townsville engineer has also rejected concerns over potential job losses and fee hikes, saying they were valid but that they would not be realised.
"What we see is the opportunity for capital investment which will bring jobs," Mr Brady said.
Mr Brady was a presenter at a Townsville Bulletin Business Breakfast yesterday where Port of Brisbane CEO Russell Smith outlined Brisbane's experience's of a "very successful" privatisation in 2010, since growing trade by 17 per cent and increasing port land under lease by 15 per cent.
However Brisbane port had reduced its employees by 42 per cent to around 180 people, Mr Smith said, including replacing senior management.
Sandeep Mehta, the CEO of India's largest port operator, Adani Ports, addressed the breakfast on the group's plans to export up to 60 million tonnes of coal from the Galilee Basin from 2017, saying the company was committed to its Australian projects.
The State Government is proposing to sell the integrated Port of Townsville and the Mount Isa Rail Line on a long-term lease if it wins a state election due next year.
Mr Brady said he believed privatisation would be a "good thing".
"It will free up investment opportunities ... needed for future growth," he said.
He said aligning the port with the Mount Isa rail would go a long way to resolving competing interests within the supply chain.
Mr Brady outlined opportunities to grow live cattle exports, add packaged meat exports, fund a new rail corridor into the port with coal exports and continue growing trade in base metals and sugar.
Expansion plans included a new $1.3 billion outer harbour, comprising six berths, a $120 million outer berth 12, a $50 million upgrade for its existing berth four and the release of port land on Ross Creek for development.
Mr Brady said fears were probably related to potential job losses and increases in fees and charges but these concerns were overstated.
"If there are fears about reductions in staff numbers, we don't see that happening to a large extent," Mr Brady said.
"We already have a very efficient workforce at the port."
He said the port did not see large changes to fees and charges for importers and exporters.
Property leases were close to market rates, while berth charges already were within what was charged elsewhere.
Mr Smith said Australia had a growing infrastructure deficit, expected to reach $600 billion over the next six years, as governments redirected cash into social programs.
"Ports are logical areas where the private sector can find an investment home," Mr Smith said.
Mr Smith said the privatisation of the Port of Brisbane, acquired by global and Australian infrastructure investors in 2010, had been "very successful".

T. Oscar the trouble is the port makes 20 million a year profit yet is valued at about a billion dollars. It's sale value is 50 times it's profit, which means a very valuable asset but a poor return on its value. Compare that to a normal commercial business which would sell for 3 times earnings, a commercial building which would sell for about 8-10 percent yield, or a publicly listed company which would typically be valued around 15-20 times earnings. Selling the port and investing that money in projects that provide additional employment and a higher return is of much greater value. Even paying off debt is a guaranteed 5 percent or more saving, compared to a 2 percent return on the current value of the port. Assuming we get a far share of proceeds and can expand production and employment at the port, it seems like a commercial no brainer.

Sam of Townsville Posted at 11:20 AM August 14, 2014
Kr obviously doesn't mind paying increased fees and charges as a consumer and must have missed the bit about the Brisbane port sale resulted in employment reduced by 42% including replacing senior management. Another indirect tax we don't want to talk about.

Drink of the week: The Red Door's Martini L'Amour
Published October 11, 2012 12:03 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
$8.75 • Martini L'Amour at The Red Door
This high-octane martini, created by The Red Door's owner, Louise Hannig, is made with La Poire pear vodka, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, Grand Marnier orange-flavor brandy, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, orange and lemon zest. I have three martini staples at The Red Door that I always drink, but decided to think outside the box and ask Hannig for a recommendation. Now that I've tasted this zingy cocktail, which is a perfect combination of sweet and tart tastes, I'm adding a fourth drink to my list of favorites.

I was going to publish this as a blog post but decided to share it here:
7 Possible Problems With Your Blog'
- Not having a logo - Branding is important in the blogging world, just as it would be for any other business. Get some sense of identity with a logo early on, and start marketing your blog as a business, rather than just another small blog on the Internet.
- Not having your own domain - The BIGGEST possible mistake you can make is using a .wordpress or a .blogspot. You cut down 99% of advertiser prospects and leave a bad impression on your readers too.
(If you don't have a domain/hosting just let me know I'll try and help you out)
- You keep changing your theme - Some bloggers think this is cool and their readers will love it..WRONG. Loyal readers hate it when you keep changing themes as they have to keep adjusting.
- Not having a tag line - Your blog should have a clear tag line that is relevant to your blog's content. This makes all your new readers aware of your blog's content.
- Missing out on basic On Page SEO - On page SEO is something that is a must for all blogs. Plugins like the All-in-one-SEO plugin for WordPress make things very easy.
(I know I have to work on this one for Let's Sermo..irony!)
- Not having a fixed niche - I made this mistake with Let's Sermo. It was a mixed bag and was doing pathetically till I focused on one niche. (Earlier I just had 30 feed subscribers, now I am nearing 500 and it gets 25-8,000 monthly visits)
- You do not encourage comments - Always end your posts with questions and ask your readers to share their views. Remember- Each comment raises your blogs value.
Please feel free to share more problems you see with blogs nowadays.

Qantas workers say the company is considering replacing its services with Jetstar
- From: NT News
- May 09, 2014
CONCERNED Qantas workers say the company has sent a review team to Alice Springs Airport to determine whether they should replace its services with Jetstar.
But Qantas representatives deny that there are plans to make any changes to their services.
A reliable source, who asked not to be identified, revealed that it was common knowledge that Jetstar would "more than likely" replace the airline in November when Qantas' lease on the terminal ends.
It comes less than a week after it was announced Tigerair would be pulling their services out of Alice Springs from July and a day after it was reported that Qantas was expected to shed 2,200 jobs by the end of June as part of a restructure.
A Tourism NT spokesman said the understanding from Qantas is that "they have completed their recent whole of nation network review and that there are no changes in the wind at all for Alice services".
But the source said Alice Springs routes do not make enough money considering the assets they tie up.
"They can get the same volume of seats with Jetstar for a fraction of the cost," they source.
"Also Jetstar has a fleet of brand new airbuses not being used so I could understand their thinking."
They said replacing Qantas would be bad for Alice Springs, comparing it to what happened in Hamilton Island.
"Premium travellers don't fly budget - look what happened to Hamilton Island when Qantas handed over to Jetstar," they said.
"Same numbers, half the average spend from guests."
Alice Springs Airport general manager Dave Batic was not available for comment as he was in Darwin for meetings.
According to figures released in February, Alice Springs Airport had experienced significant passenger growth in the past year.
But passenger numbers only increased 18.3 per cent after Tigerair commenced services in the first half of the 2013 financial year.

We will be ok up here in the Topend just ask the Chief Minister as they announced cheap fares to Alice Springs from the East. It's cheaper to fly from Sydney/Melbourne to Alice Springs while it's nearly double the price to travel down from Darwin. I will get there one day to be a tourist and have a look around. Thanks Adam and Co for always supporting the locals as our cost of living is so cheap. Maybe should move down south so we can afford to come back for a holiday. Back to Bali this weekend and unfortunately had to fly Jetstar our favorite Australian airline. Hope they turn up

How will the politicians go flying Hellstar between Darwin and Alice? Or will that remain the last Qantas route standing so they can keep the hideous prices for the monopoly?
Barry Jones of Alice Springs Posted at 5:01 PM May 09, 2014
@locked out alice of asp It's bad a enough when people overseas refer to our national airline as QUANTAS buy there is no excuse for some one in Australia not knowing that there is no "U" in the airline's name.QANTAS is an acronym made of the initials of the airline's name.

When word spread that the old Khyber would be donning the proverbial toque and going all gastro on the neighborhood, the news was widely met first with incredulity, then uncertainty and then, finally, resignation. It had been a solid run for the old music-and-beer-and-a-shot joint, but life moves on. Many of us feared this would be an ignominious end to a beloved bar, a last-gasp shift that seemed like the booze equivalent of Joan Rivers' plastic surgery, ultimately doomed to masklike awkwardness.
But then it opened back in November, and something unexpected happened: The charmingly new Khyber Pass Pub gained well-earned traction, began to grow a following and ultimately proved to be wildly winning in its transformation. It was new, yes, but it had enough of the old (the gargoyles above the original wood bar still roar silently at the door, as they have for more than 100 years) to retain its neighborhood cred.
The food is certainly a significant factor in its success. This is a menu that shows off the pedigree of the owners, who for years have filled bellies and swelled livers at Dos Segundos, Cantina Los Caballitos and Royal Tavern, with which the Khyber Pass Pub now shares more than a few strands of ideological and culinary DNA.
Like those other gems, the Khyber is all about preparing the familiar well enough to make us reconsider their inherent merits—Chef Mark McKinney is clearly at home in his new digs. Fried green tomatoes, for instance, are about as textbook as you'll find—no flights of fancy here, no panko crust, no foam-light sauce. Just palm-thick slabs of meaty green tomatoes (so much better than the mealy, greenhoused-and-warehoused reds that have marred salads all over the region since late fall) cloaked in a nutty, thick sheath of batter, and plated with a ketchup-based N'Awlins-style remoulade. If this is vegetarian eating, then sign me up for PETA.
Creole caesar salad was essentially just a kicked-up version of the classic, but the judicious use of creole mustard and house-blended cajun spice added that little bit of love that made it worth ordering.
Bacon grease popcorn, which has caused a justifiable buzz around this pig-happy city of late, is magnificent. The smoky-sweet rendered Benton's bacon fat underpins it all (the Pub has taken to collecting the fat from its three sister restaurants and going through five-gallon vats two or three times each week). Dangerously addictive, this popcorn is the swine lover's version of smack. Halfway through the fat-sweating bag you're likely to reach your tipping point, though. This is seriously rich stuff.
Earning its "Pub" status, there's a smart selection of beer at Khyber, well-balanced between the familiar and the less so, the bottle and the draught, the latter shifting daily. I wish more bars and restaurants would specify, as the Khyber does, what kind of glass your brew will be served in—the little chalk drawings of goblets and pint glasses next to the listings on the wall in the dining room are ingenious.
And the staff is well-versed enough in their beer to be able to make some excellent recommendations. A crisp, light-spirited kolsch was a perfect starter beer, and the Sly Fox Gang Aft Agley's maltier notes matched up beautifully with the hush puppies (better with the side of molasses butter than with the pepper jelly, which obscured the flavors of the fried cornbread rather than helping them along).
Po'boys are gloriously standard, which is to say authentically conceived and not overly crapped up with unnecessary flourishes. The smartest move here—aside from the hyper-consciousness of the cooking time of the catfish, if that's what you order—is the fact that the vessel for these messy sandwiches is the thin, crumby-crusted Leidenheimer's roll, as beloved in New Orleans as Amoroso is here, and just as integral to that city's emblematic sammy. The burger, thick but not obscenely so, is chin-drippingly juicy and impeccably seasoned.
Barbecue is also a hit, though the ribs more so than the pulled pork, the former a result of its proximity to the bone and subsequent added moistness. But both are worthy, and fairly priced for the generous portion you get. Sides work much the same way: Competence and attention to detail take them from the common to the remarkable. Mac and cheese, made even less healthy with cream cheese added to the cheddar, is compulsively gooey beneath its charred breadcrumb-and-parm crust, and sweet-tangy collard greens actually made me consider downing the juice remaining at the bottom of the bowl like a shot after I was done.
My biggest complaint is with the dessert menu. On the wall, the chalkboard asks guests to inquire about vegan desserts, which implies that there's a separate listing of them. Unfortunately, the German chocolate cake is vegan, but the menu makes no mention of this. As a result, it possesses the vaguely plastic character that too often betrays the animal-product-free pedigree of an item that's traditionally not. Crafting a vegan German chocolate cake requires a fair number of changes to the recipe—no butter, eggs, milk, buttermilk or cream—and noting this seems necessary. Fortunately, the white chocolate bread pudding is better—excellent, in fact, with its fluffy center and gently charred stalactites of dough on top.
As for the transformation of the space, it's lighter and more welcoming, yes, but it hasn't lost its soul in the process. This is a neighborhood place, and perfectly suited to Old City with its mix of young and aging musicians and artists, new families, googly-eyed college kids and everyone else the hood attracts these days.
All that fear of a lost-soul Khyber that floated around last fall has proved to be utterly unfounded. If only all makeovers were this successful. Joan Rivers' surgeon should take note.

Yes, Kilmer was insensitive, especially in a community which still considers someone an outsider even if they have lived there for 40 years.
That said, I can say for a fact that in adjoining Mora County, drinking and driving seems to be the norm. The drink of choice is Bud Light. How do I know? The cans and bottles thrown from car windows along my county road.
I guess the trueth hurts?!
yea,the Doors are very cool... NM has that UFO recovery going for them. there is a cattle skull at the ''Imus Ranch'' is really the old man himself an what ya see on cable is fart bag the Animatronics are controlled 'remote'..by his son back at the ranch check out the very clever ear phone cable plugin antenna. NM has some of the best green chile cheese bugers in the world !
when did the wheels come off for this guy?
What a bunch of foolish inbred types ... is it Legal to deny permission for a License because you dont like what someone said in an article about you? This isnt a "McChrystal" situation at all, because he's not in the military and doesnt have to follow those rules. And this clown named Abran Tapia is the biggest loser of them all. Who died and made you King of New Mexico, deciding who stays and who goes, you pathetic overbearing waste of flesh? It sounds to me like Kilmer's original remarks were correct, and alot of people in that area not only resemble them, but they cant handle the truth. Hypocritical dirtbags.
The Northern New Mexico community where Killmer has is ranch is in the midst of several Spanish land grants. Many of the people in this area are descendants of Spanish who settled the are 400 years ago. These people are obviosuly very protective of their land and community, because they have such a vested interest. As for Uki, the reason he/she is probably not accepted in the community is because she makes such idiotic comments. If Killmer and Uki think the area is so bad, then why are they still there and, in Killmers case, fighting to stay there.
The people who live in this area have been in New Mexico before the pilgrims landed on Plymoth Rock and stole the Indians food. Please keep the ungrateful degenerate gringos out of this area, as they are only there for their own self benefit, rather than to enhance the community!!!!
Which is just another way of saying ' Please don't come looking for me in my backyard anymore, the broken beer bottles and all that rough neck beating is your business, but please for the sake of New Mexico (and my fledging career) let's get over this you bad ass bitches, I mean ho's, I mean wife beaters?
I am stunned at Val's look. He is so fat. He is almost unrecognisable compared to his "good looks" in Topgun. It is very sad.

Creative car thief uses crane to steal a Jeep
Countless cars are stolen all over the United States every year, but we imagine there aren't too many that involve cranes. Strange as it might sound, that is exactly what one thief used to steal a 2008 Jeep Wrangler from an Indiana car lot last week. »

Feds seize all secrets on laptop
It's pretty obvious that we as a society are now made up of two groups. There are those who have moved their lives into the digital realm, and those who haven't.
I would like to introduce you to someone in the latter category. His name is Edward Korman, and he is a federal judge in New York state. He had a case involving a U.S. citizen, a Ph.D. student at McGill University in Montreal, who had his computer confiscated while returning to the States. The judge ruled, sweepingly, that yes, the federal government had a right to confiscate laptops at the border without probable cause.
In other words: You are traveling overseas with your laptop, tablet or smartphone. As you re-enter the United States, a federal official, for any reason or none, can take it away from you and look through it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Here's what I have on my laptop. Years of email. Private conversations from close friends about personal matters, some of them tragic, heart-wrenching and life-changing, and similar messages from my husband. There are thousands of family photos, medical information about me and my family, business plans that affect my family's current and future livelihood.
Something else is there as well. What's on my laptop is a reflection of my mind — my most elated moments and deepest thoughts. It's me.
Either you live in a world in which this extension of your very consciousness — and your constant access to it — is an inextricable part of your life, or you don't. You either appreciate that a laptop is a costly and delicate instrument you'd just as soon not be cavalierly tossed around by a TSA employee, or you do not. And you recoil at the thought of strangers pawing through that information on a whim, with trivial legal oversight, or you do not.
It was odd — there's surprisingly little talk about the ruling online. (It came down on New Year's Eve afternoon.) The more you read, the weirder the rules are. The so-called "border exemption" extends 100 miles inland from the border. That includes the population of the Eastern Seaboard, Miami, Houston, the West Coast and Chicago.
I wanted to find a smart legal mind who'd considered the issue. I finally found someone who had. He came up with a simple encapsulation to prevent this sort of intrusion into our private lives for no reason. It went like this:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized
That's the Fourth Amendment, of course. The writer was James Madison, with help from a few friends.
Judge Korman, I am quite sure, isn't the sort to carry his life around in his laptop. The ironic thing about his ruling is that while initially I thought it encapsulated a division between people who live in the past (the judge) and the future (me and, I assume, you), but it's obvious this issue was well-debated by some smart people a very long time ago.

FARMINGTON — Work will begin Monday on a therapeutic garden in Shiprock that aims to promote healing for patients, families and staff.
Ten volunteers from Home Depot in Farmington will start construction on the Healing Begins Medicine Garden at the Northern Navajo Medical Center on U.S. Highway 491 in Shiprock.
Joseph Lucero, a pro account sales associate with Farmington's Home Depot, said volunteers will prepare the area that will house the garden. They will also construct a walkway, place gravel, put in a fountain and assemble shading.
The store donated the materials, valued at $3,800. Employees who will complete the work are participating in the store's "Team Depot" program, which helps with projects in the community, he said.
"It's supposed to give you a sense of comfort," Lucero said about the garden.
Academic research has shown the benefits of healing gardens and the positive influences they can have on patients, visitors and caregivers.
A study by Roger Ulrich, who co-founded the Center for Health Systems and Design at Texas A&M University, found these types of areas reduce negative emotions, reduce stressful thoughts and evoke positive feelings.
The garden will be dedicated at 10 a.m. on April 8, as part of events and activities coinciding with National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
National Crime Victims' Rights Week is an annual event that promotes victims' rights and honors victims of crime and those who advocate on their behalf.
During the dedication ceremony, Navajo Nation First Lady Martha Shelly will plant roses in the garden.
Native plants will also be added to the garden as the spring season continues.
Phil Kinlichee, who works with the Navajo Nation Office of the President and Vice President, said community members are also welcomed to help with the construction on Monday.

The Open Syllabus Project
The American Assembly is the home of the new Open Syllabus Project (OSP), an effort to build the first large-scale online database of university course syllabi as a platform for the development of new research, teaching, and administrative tools.
The OSP will provide new ways of understanding canon formation, the evolution of disciplines, pedagogical change, and institutional history. It will make curricula more transparent to students, faculty, and administrators, and enable better coordination of course and curricular development. It will enable new publication metrics and new insights into changing practices of scholarly communication, from tracking the use of open-access publications to measuring how frequently, and in what contexts, particular works are taught.
The OSP is building a network of partners and contributors, drawing on researchers and staff at Columbia University, the New School University, Swarthmore College, and the University of North Carolina.
The project is supported by the Sloan Foundation.
The Open Syllabus Project First Workshop
The OSP Workshop & Hackathon was held June 6-7, Columbia University, at the Heyman Center for the Humanities and Studio@Butler. The event was the first all-hands gathering of the OSP community to discuss and address the next set of social, institutional, legal, and technical challenges for the OSP.

An Exercise Backfired!
Sometimes I write because I'm inspired.
Other times I can't, I'm just too tired.
My mind won't work, my thoughts are mired.
The voice in my head should just be fired!
But I take a breath, I know what's required,
got to grab hold of life before it's expired.
I look at all the folks I've admired,
the events throughout my life transpired,
and the work and play through which I've perspired,
but more, that which is left desired,
and tell myself, that's how you're hardwired.
To use all the knowledge that you've acquired.
To spread new ideas like children sired.
Looking back, I think my brain misfired!
But we came, we wrote , we co-conspired.
Well, that wasn't so bad, I guess he's rehired.

EU closes infringement proceedings against Malta
Warning: strip_tags() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /homepages/3/d137214294/htdocs/mm/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 631
The Ministry for Transport and Infrastructure has recently been informed that the European Commission has closed the infringement proceedings against Malta, concerning the issue of the differentiated tariff structure for bus transport in Malta, which discriminated between the maximum fares applicable to residents of Malta and the fares payable by persons who are not residents of Malta.
This closure followed a decision taken by Government to introduce unitary rates for public transport bus fares as from 6th January 2014. These changes terminated the discriminatory tariff structure based on residence, which were established by the previous administration.
The Ministry for Transport and Infrastructure welcomes the Commission's decision to close this infringement and noted the increase in the use of public transport usage since the removal of the two-tier system.

Visual artist Jeff Koons sat next to Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey of Live. Playwright Dorothy King was across the aisle.
The five artists listened to Mayor Kim Bracey talk about the struggles and successes of the city that shaped them. Then, they were each honored for their past, present and possible future contributions to York and the world beyond.
Chad Taylor, of the multi-platinum band Live, said he grew up idolizing a blue-eyed soul band with York members -- The Magnificent Men. When he formed Live with Dahlheimer and Gracey, they practiced in a Newberry Street garage, to the chagrin of some of their neighbors.
"I like the people of York," Taylor said. "They were me, only harder working. We took (their) stories and turned them into songs."
Taylor, Dahlheimer and Gracey recently announced Think Loud, a development project in York, and introduced Live's new lead singer, Chris Shinn at the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center in York.
Taylor said he was inspired by the mayor's speech and was glad to meet Koons.
"The arts are a form of communication," Taylor said. "What's important to us is to write more songs."
King, a playwright and educator, grew up on Princess Street "in a community where it was important to do a good job." She said that even though she now lives in Harrisburg, she still tell people she's from York.
"Don't rule York out," she said. "York will shine again."
On Thursday, Koons, whose visual art has been shown in galleries around the globe, remembered eating oysters at Central Market as a child. He spends time in New York City, but owns land in southern York County.
He recently brought his children to see The Moscow Festival Ballet perform "Cinderella" at the Strand.
"I tend to look at older structures with remembrance," he said.
After listening to the mayor's address, hearing about Think Loud and chatting with York philanthropist Louis Appell, Koons said he hoped to contribute to York's revitalization.
"It feels like a corner's being turned," he said. "(It) shows what individuals can do in your community."

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky is consolidating its workforce services for businesses looking to locate or expand in the state.
Gov. Steve Beshear said Monday the initiative amounts to a "one-stop shop" in assisting companies.
The initiative is called WorkSmart Kentucky. The goal is to match employers with their workforce needs.
Beshear says providing a quality workforce is the top factor in determining Kentucky's ability to attract high tech and advanced manufacturing jobs.
The governor says qualifying companies will be eligible for recruitment and job-screening services at no cost. Also, grant funding will be available to offset the costs of training and apprenticeship programs and to provide free safety training.
The initiative spans the state's economic development, labor and education and workforce development cabinets. Another partner is the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.

Former England hooker Lee Mears has announced his retirement from professional rugby after being diagnosed with a heart condition.
Former England hooker Lee Mears has announced his retirement from professional rugby after being diagnosed with a heart condition.
Mears was found to have an abnormality during a routine cardiac screening and on the advice of his doctors he has been forced to bring his playing career to an end with immediate effect.
"There is a significant potential risk of developing further complications if Lee continues to perform the prolonged strenuous exercises required to be an elite rugby player," read a statement issued by Bath.
"He has therefore been advised by a specialist to retire from professional rugby."
Commentating on his decision to retire, Mears added: "This is not how I saw it ending but I feel enormously proud to have played for Bath so many times.
"This will be a tough period, but the memories I have and the friends I have made over the years will be of huge support. Thank you to the club and to the supporters, I've loved every minute."
Mears made his England debut against Samoa in 2005 and he went on to win 42 caps for his country before announcing his retirement from international rugby last year.

He was the cool cat when Janice Lipsky saw him roaming the alleys of the New York City suburbs.
There was something about that brown tabby, something that told Lipsky to not let this one get away. So she set about crafting a plan to make the brown tabby her own.
It took nearly five months to woo him and she called him, Sweet. �His name is a noun and an adjective,� she says.
They moved to the Valley in 2006 and life was grand. Until December 2007 when a lump was discovered a lump on Sweet's back.
She had rescued him once and was ready to do it again. There were X-rays, blood work, surgery and finally chemotherapy. In all, around $8,000 of expense.
Sweet has done well and he faces his last chemo treatment Tuesday. The ordeal deepened Lipsky's bond with her pet. Now, she says, �I'm just ready to look to the future.�

Brenda Nelson is the current County Recorder for Morgan County. Nelson is facing off against Kimlyn Porter for the recorder job in the Fall election.
Nelson is a 21 year resident of Morgan County. She grew up in Sunset and lived in Clearfield, but moved to find a great place for raise a family. She found what she was looking for in Morgan County. She has five children, two still living in Morgan, and five grandchildren. She has been very involved in the schools as her children attended, and she continues to volunteer time to help students with reading and other programs. She also has served on the PTA and worked to improve the recognition students received for their achievements in art and photography through the Reflections program.
Nelson began working in the recorders office as a part-time deputy recorder in Oct of 1993. In 1995 she became the first permanent full time deputy recorder in the county.
The recorder's office has responsibility for the records of property, the ownership of this property, and the history of ownership. The recorder's office also provides records to the assessor of land ownership for tax assessment and notices. They record transactions related to the land, including transfer of ownership, changes in boundaries, subdivisions, and foreclosures.
Nelson has seen many changes in the recorder's office over the years. When she began working in the office she reported to Florence Whitear and then to Denise Weaver.
They implemented changes in the office, and Nelson learned from their experience during her tenure working with them.
Nelson ran for, and won, the recorder position in 1999. She has since then been re-elected two additional times. She says, "I love the job and working for the citizens of Morgan County."
Nelson's experience as a deputy recorder gave her the knowledge to make improvements in the office after holding the recorder position. She has worked to make the office run more smoothly and efficiently, and create order in the county's land records. During her tenure as recorder she has implemented:
• The scanning of documents so that they can be viewed on computer. There is no need now to search through the books for the relevant documents.
• She reorganized the cataloging of land documents so that the individual parcels could be more quickly identified and that the history was tied together over time. This has saved the office many hours of work as they research the ownership of the land.
• In 2001 she supervised the transition of the county's land records to a new software system that enhanced the county's ability to manage the land records.
• When the county's budgets would not support expensive software for drawing parcel maps on a computer, she found a much less expensive alternative to meet the office's needs.
• She initiated the work in the County to establish a GIS system that will allow the county to expand its mapping capability to include voting district boundaries, zoning information, and more accurate parcel descriptions and maps over time.
• She implemented a new system to allow the title companies, for a fee, to access the county land records remotely to perform title searches and record land changes more efficiently and without necessitating a trip to the recorders office.
Nelson believes that a recorder should have the skills to perform all of the functions in the office. The staff in the recorders office is small. It includes Nelson, two deputy recorders, and a mapping specialist. This staff records more than 6,500 changes per year. This is nearly triple the workload from when Nelson originally took office. The small office means that a recorder who understands and can perform all the duties is incredibly valuable. The ability to provide training, backup, and make improvements based on their knowledge is essential for the position in Nelson's view.
Nelson discussed the importance of this role for the county. It is important so that property is recorded correctly and ownership is correctly established. She also said, "We [the recorders office] are the start of the taxation process. We provide the serial number, acreage, legal description, mailing address, and legal description of the property as well as the maps as what is on the tax records, based on the deeds which were recorded in our office. The ownership of real property is responsible for the taxes assessed. The Assessor bases their work upon the information turned over to that office by the Recorder, the Clerks office sends out the disclosures and in turn the Treasure collects taxes which was assessed. Therefore it is the responsibility of the Recorder of ensure that records accurately reflect the status of each parcel within the county."
Nelson expressed that she loves the job and serving the people in Morgan and over the years has put in many hours in ensuring that the office kept up with the load of requests and made improvements to increase the quantity and quality of work that can be done by the office.
She feels she is the best candidate to fill the position because of her experience, her dedication, her ability to manage and train the staff, and her capability to perform all the functions of the office. She hopes that voters will look at the skills of the candidates, how much time the candidate will devote to the job, and how much training the individual will need to be effective for the job.

Paul Pierce has been in the captains chair before, 15 years to be exact. So he knows a thing or two about being the leader of the Celtics. Especially in the lean years when all hope seems lost in a rebuilding phase. Pierce and Rondo share different paths, but so much alike at the same time.
Pierce seemed like he was wasting his talents playing for a team full of rookies and young guys. Pierce didn't know what the future would hold for him Boston. We all know the rest, Pierce is a champion and Finals MVP because he remained patient with the Celtics.
"Just staying patient," Pierce said. "When you're in the middle of your prime like Rondo is and you're frustrated with the losing, it's about staying patient, staying with the guys, helping them develop, helping them get better."
"At times it's gonna be frustrating. You have to understand that, the position you're in," Pierce said. "At times, things don't go your way. You want it to be ... you want everything to be better right away. You understand it's a process. Danny Ainge understands it's a process. And they have to be on the same page.
Pierce added, "You're an elite player; you're a franchise player. There's constant communication, what they want from each other. You go from there. You build with each other."
Rondo now faces the very same thing that Pierce faced in the 2006-07 season. Will things workout for Rondo like they did for Pierce? Not likely, Ainge is good at what he does for the most part. If Ainge is able to work some magic this summer, then by all means Ainge. I don't know if Rondo catch a break like Paul did in 2007.
I think the intention is there right now, but things change, and Rondo doesn't even know if he'll be a Celtic year to year. I truly hope Ainge works this whole Rondo mess out. I would love to see Rondo playing 5 more years at least in Boston green. Both sides need to show patience, but time is not on our side. Rondo just turned 28, and he's peaking as a player. You need to bank on Rondo's prime if your Danny Ainge. For more reasons than one. Patience is the key, and will see if it plays out well for everyone.

Clayton can throw 97 if he has to, but now that he has 5 or 6 excellent pitches, he doesn't have to! He tops out at at 92-94 MPH, which has to be easier on his arm. While his stuff isn't better than Sandy Koufax, he may already be a better pitcher (some of you will cry about that statement)… and he just keeps getting better and better.
What a game last night.
What an ace!
Another Cy Young is around the corner.
How much better can he get?

A Pakistani boy holds a banner standing next to Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawwa and founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group, while heading a protest to condemn U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, in Lahore, Pakistan, Friday.
- Filed Under
On Oct. 29, a congressional hearing was held to hear a Pakistani father and his two children talk about a U.S. drone attack that killed the children's mother. Only five representatives cared enough to attend the hearing.
How often do we hear about the thousands of Americans killed on 9/11, or in Afghanistan and Iraq? We have taken hundreds of thousands of innocent lives around the world, and they are dismissed as collateral damage, not even important enough to count or name. It is appalling that our government shows so little compassion for those killed and families destroyed by our cruel, inhumane war machine.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A 22-year-old former substitute teacher is facing multiple felony charges after she was accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy she taught at a Las Vegas school.
Tanikka Queen remained jailed Thursday pending an initial court appearance on charges including sexual assault of a child, kidnapping and lewdness.
Queen was arrested Tuesday. It wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney.
Clark County School District spokeswoman Melinda Malone says Queen has been dropped from the substitute teaching roster.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that police recovered thousands of cellphone text messages between Queen and the eighth-grader, records of more than 100 voice calls and dozens of photographs.
Police were alerted by a parent of a female student who found text messages on the girl's phone referring to the affair.

2. For that to happen, it would have to write onto the ROM.
So to summarise, I believe there is nothing wrong with your USB device, but more like a virus is on your PC.
Have you tried to use the device on another machine? If its a simple pen drive, use a PS3 or something also and wipe it from that.
You may want to clarify what the problem is.
Because Kaspersky shows that my flash memory has a trojan. And no, there's nothing wrong with my USB device, I'm sure.
The USB device would be your USB storage Device, not the connector on your motherboard/front of case.
Have you tried it on another machine?

Colored glazing packs an emotional punch in any project, but especially so in this structure. The architects used the Vanceva® color system to produce warm hues that evoke the glow of flickering candlelight. The laminated glass was then formed into shining pillars that appear to be made completely of light. At night, these pillars illuminate the entire landscape with their soft, warm glow. The transparency of the glass brings an added factor of security to the project along with incredible beauty. These glowing glass pillars ground the entire structure and connect it with the elements.

The Lake Winnebago Quality Improvement Association of Fond du Lac County (LWQIA) announced its support for the Lake Winnebago System project being undertaken by five counties, including Fond du Lac. The project, to create an inventory of assets and prioritize issues regarding Lake Winnebago is being funded by a $50,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to Calumet County, which will coordinate the project for the five counties.
Stakeholders in Fond du Lac, Calumet, Outagamie, Waushara and Winnebago counties will have an opportunity to provide input about issues that affect the Lake Winnebago System in sessions that are expected to be scheduled soon. "Our lake association intends to participate in these sessions," said Ellen Balthazor, president of LWQIA. "We encourage all other groups and individuals who care about Lake Winnebago to do the same."

Politics Counts
So Senator Fauxahontas from MA is whining that an Obamanation, a new federal regulator that gets its funding from the Federal Reserve and not the people's elected officials in the Congress, should be able to operate outside of public scrutiny other than riding roughshod over private businesses and banks. Warren and Obama want an American Politburo for them to control. Funny how that is so far outside the normal for this great nation. But what do we expect from leftist fools?
Wow! I was going to say "something thoughtful". But, it looks like only the Zombies are tuned into this station today.

In what has become the rule, rather than the exception, yesterday's NBA trade deadline was yet another snooze fest. The only GM who made a significant move was Larry Bird, who traded the expiring Danny Granger, whom the Pacers were unlikely to retain, for Evan Turner, who is averaging over 17 points, six rebounds and almost four assists per game.
One team that did NOT make a significant move was the Atlanta Hawks. Danny Ferry traded the rights to Cenk Akyol, a former 2nd round pick who will never play in the NBA, for Antawn Jamison, who may never play for the Hawks. With Real GM reporting that Cartier Martin has been signed for the balance of the season and Micah Hart reporting that Jared Cunningham has been recalled from the D-League, it's possible the Hawks have already waived Jamison.
There was a lot of confusion on Twitter and message boards last night about the purpose of the trade, since Adrian Wojnarowski with Yahoo! Sports tweeted immediately after that a buyout was possible. The purpose, from the Hawks' perspective, was explained by Brad Turner, the L.A. Times beat writer for the Clippers:
Clip deal: Mullens a future 2nd to PHI for a conditional 2nd….antawn and cash to ATL for draft rights to Cenk Akoyl. (2005 draft pick).
— Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) February 20, 2014
The Hawks essentially sold part of the team's cap space to the Clippers for cash. The Clippers also executed a similar trade, sending Byron Mullens to the 76ers for a conditional future 2nd round draft pick. These two trades took the Clippers' front line from thin to perilously thin, but help could be on the way. ESPN's Marc Stein tweeted after the trades that former Hawk Ivan Johnson could join the Clippers on a 10-day contract:
Clippers, I'm told, recently worked out Ivan Johnson after his China stint and are looking at a 10-day deal for former Hawk @kevinarnovitz
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 20, 2014
This brings us to some questions regarding Ferry's inactivity. It has been speculated that the Hawks did not sign Johnson in the offseason because he was seeking a deal in the range of the mini-midlevel exception (around $2 million). If Johnson and the Clippers are now discussing a 10-day contract, the price has apparently come down. The Hawks still had about $1 million in cap space after absorbing a pro-rated amount of Jamison's $884,293 salary for this season, prior to signing Martin. Why wouldn't Ferry use that cap space to sign a front-court bruiser like Johnson to supplement a front line decimated by injuries?
After Al Horford and Pero Antic were lost to injuries, Gustavo Ayon appeared to be coming on strong, recently posting a double-double against the Raptors while holding highly-regarded center Jonas Valanciunas to a single basket. But now Ayon's durability issues, which I noted in the pre-season, have cropped up again. Elton Brand, whom coach Mike Budenholzer has preferred in a reserve role, has been pressed into starting duty. Paul Millsap and Mike Scott, neither of whom is large for a power forward, are now forced into spot duty at center. How long until more Hawks front court players break down due to a lack of depth Ferry has done nothing to address?
Some consider Johnson a bad culture fit for the Hawks. The fact is, he's gone toe-to-toe with every elite center in the NBA, from Dwight Howard to Roy Hibbert to Marc Gasol, and has not been found lacking. Should Ferry fail to bolster the Hawks' front line, regardless of any ancillary considerations such as culture, it can only mean one thing. It would mean that something other than winning, i.e. draft position, has become of greater importance to the Hawks' front office.

Rob Adair
Just Stop By!
Ive made it a practice over the years to follow certain steps and rules Ive created whenever I get a new client. Actually, there are 16 of these steps that occur at different times in the client relationship. Its a list I always have posted at my fingertips.
Today, lets talk about one of these rules JUST STOP BY!
It would frighten you to know how many radio sellers, all across the country today, will drive by one of their own, active clients, with time to spare, and not stop by. Let me repeat that. Theyre between appointments. They have time on their hands. Theyre driving by one of their own clients, and they do not stop in to check on them. Unbelievable, isnt it?
This came to light several years ago. I was visiting a market I oversaw and was riding in the car with a salesperson there going to an appointment we had with one of their clients. Upon arriving, we found out the client had a family emergency and had to leave. He left word hed call as soon as he could and reschedule. After leaving, we were a few miles down the road and the seller pointed to a car dealership wed just driven by and said, Thats (so-and-so), one of my largest accounts. I said, Why dont you turn around and lets go back. Id like to meet them if theyre in.
Now, think about this. Youre a local seller with your regional VP in your car making sales calls with you and you just drove by a client with time on your hands and did not stop by! Again, if youre in management, you dont want to know how many times a week this is happening in your own operation.
So, whats the benefit of just stopping by? For one thing, your client appreciates it. They might say, You were just here two days ago. I dont need anything. But, in their mind theyre saying to themselves, She really takes care of me. She wouldnt dare be near here and not check in on me. Another reason to just stop by is because, many times, youll learn something you might have not found out otherwise. I stopped by a client one day and met a commercial realtor I knew leaving my clients office. My client introduced me and I said, Sure, I know Jerry. How are you? My client then said to me, Im making an offer on a building for our second store.
When you JUST STOP BY you learn things, get to know other employees, sometimes even run into your competitors. Regardless, your client appreciates it! So, as a seller, when youre even remotely near one of your clients and you have 10 extra minutes, JUST STOP BY!

As the lead communicator for Affected Families of Police Homicide I can say this is a great step forward but we need a marching band to truly support people like my son in corrections with mental illness. Much like young Ashley Smith he was not recognized seriously enough for his bi-polar disorder to be supported or helped. Just out of jail, he went manic and robbed a shoppers, and was brutally shot by police officer who is badly traumatized by this training too. I truly see both sides and am advocating for mandatory trauma supports for police officers because of this. And for affected families of course. We are meeting with Victim Services this week as the Special Investigations Unit provides someone who is not helpful. Good luck!June 23, 2014

it's possible that some headlights will take damage as the developers for some reason chose to have a different damage function for those. go figure-

You're sitting with friends at a fine restaurant when your beeper emits a familiar sound. Is it a patient in need of an urgent consultation? That investor who's decided to back your idea? Your law firm with news that the other side will settle?
Nope. It's someone hitting a home run in a faraway ballpark. And thanks to Motorola's SportsTrax (retailed by PageNet, 800-PageNet, for $199, with service through the 1998 season), you're practically the first to know. In an era when baseball junkies can get up-to-the-moment scores and updates everywhere from CNN to cyberspace, SportsTrax offers the crucial virtue of portability. Weighing less than four ounces and equipped with a handy belt clip, this traveling scoreboard goes where you go. The diamond-shaped display tells you who's playing, the score, the inning, which team is batting, the number of outs, and how many runners are on base at a given moment for every team in the major leagues. (The fan in a hurry can click through an entire 14-game schedule in 15 seconds.)
Like all good toys, SportsTrax comes with a few extra gimmicks -- most notably its sound effects. Rallies, for example, are accompanied by the familiar "Charge!" and a single beep marks the end of an inning. My favorite amenity, however, is the little runner who shows up on the screen when there's action on the base paths. This endearing feature transforms the device into something more visually enticing than just a ticker service.
Now the obvious question: What is the clinical term to describe the SportsTrax user? Well, there's the bona fide baseball fanatic or perhaps the gentleman sports wagerer (no money involved, of course). I happen to participate in the maturity-defying pastime known as Fantasy League Baseball, which requires constant scoreboard vigilance.
In a perfect world, I can imagine even further improvements to SportsTrax, like flashing the number of the hitter and the pitcher. But for now, it's the next best thing to being at the stadium -- every stadium at the same time, come to think of it -- without the bad hotdogs, the drunken fans, and that obnoxious wave.* * *
