China, Japan and America Face-off
China, Japan and America Face-off.
China's new air-defence zone suggests a worrying new approach in the region
Nov 30th 2013 |
by Xian Wan and Biodun Iginla, The Economist and BBC News
THE announcement by a Chinese military spokesman on November 23rd sounded bureaucratic: any aircraft flying through the newly designated Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea must notify Chinese authorities in advance and follow instructions from its air-traffic controllers. America's response was rapid. On November 26th Barack Obama sent two B-52 bombers to fly through the new zone without notifying China (see article). This face-off marks the most worrying strategic escalation between the two countries since 1996, when China's then president, Jiang Zemin, ordered a number of exclusion zones for missile tests in the Taiwan Strait, leading America to send two aircraft-carriers there.

Plenty of countries establish zones in which they require aircraft to identify themselves, but they tend not to be over other countries' territory. The Chinese ADIZ overlaps with Japan's own air-defence zone (see map). It also includes some specks of rock that Japan administers and calls the Senkaku islands (and which China claims and calls the Diaoyus), as well as a South Korean reef, known as Ieodo. The move is clearly designed to bolster China's claims (see article). On November 28th Japan and South Korea sent aircraft into the zone.

Welcome! You are sooo in the right place to learn! Thank you for considering adopting this pup, and for adopting kitties! There are tons of training helpfuls in the Training section to help you out. Please consider the "2 weeks, give em a break!" thread, as well as the "introducing a new dog" thread. Did the rescue say they've tested him with cats? I would make sure they have, if you haven't already. Just like bringing in any new pet, it will take a couple of weeks to get in a routine and for them to get familiar with each other. Please be patient, and keep the intros short and positive until they are ok together. Also, never ever leave the dog and cats unattended together...this goes for any breed of dog. Better safe than sorry.

DIY Bands Battle Heat - And Everything Else - On Warped Tour
DIY Bands Battle Heat – And Everything Else – On Warped
By Thomas Nassiff
Suzie Zeldin is hot.
It's over 95 degrees outside, but with the South Florida humidity, the heat index is well over 100 at 2 p.m. She finally reaches the door of a bus and walks in. The air conditioning feels like breathing for the first time.
"Welcome to our home," she says with a smirk.
The tour bus is indeed Zeldin's home – at least for now. Zeldin is the lead vocalist and keyboardist for indie pop group The Narrative, which is currently touring the country on the 2011 Vans Warped Tour. Living in a bus for a month like The Narrative is doing has its share of ups and downs, but at that moment, the welcome blast of cool air was a definite "up."
Jesse Gabriel, vocalist and guitarist for The Narrative, is happy to be in the bus as well. The back lounge isn't huge, but it gives the duo enough room to stretch out and relax before going back out and braving the heat during their set. And although it seems like a nice setting, one tiny detail seems off – this isn't their bus.
The Narrative is an unsigned band. Without any label support, they are funding their entire Warped journey by themselves. In this case, having the right connections paid off and they were able to score a spot on the Kia Kevin Says Stage for the last month of the tour. They play for 30 minutes every day, and the other 23 and a half hours are engulfed in doing everything they can to help their band.
Zeldin and Gabriel consider themselves lucky, though. Along with their touring drummer, Jeremy Scalchunes, and Alexa Fuentes, their loyal merch girl, they were able to find another band to share a bus with. It costs them a little more, but it's worth it just to have that A/C to walk into when it gets too gruesome outside.
"We see bands doing the tour in vans every day," Gabriel said. "That's insane, to do this whole thing like that."
Luckily, they found Abandon All Ships – a metalcore band on Velocity Records (an imprint of Rise Records) that couldn't be further away on the opposite side of the musical spectrum from the smooth indie-pop stylings of The Narrative. But they had room on their bus, so Zeldin, Gabriel and Co. pitched in their share on happily hopped on board.
"On this tour, the music you play almost takes a backseat," said Samuel Lister, drummer for the United Kingdom-based punk band Sharks. "Everyone has to come together, to work together to get through it."
Warped Tour started on June 24, and it runs through August 14. It spends almost two solid months snaking through America and a few parts of Canada, stopping in major markets at large outdoor venues. Every stop of the tour features over 70 bands playing across the venue on about eight stages. Thousands of people, ranging from young children to adults, attend each date.
One thing most people know about Warped is that it's considered one of the most difficult tours to play as a band. From the headlining band to the groups that travel alongside the tour just to patrol the endless lines of patrons waiting to get into the venue before the gates open, most bands won't ever go on a tour as hard as this one.
That standard is something that has been held for a long time. Years ago, in the '90s and early 2000's, the tour was considered a coming-of-age ritual. Veteran bands respected the younger ones who made it through their first Warped Tour. New bands were eager to get onto Warped, wanting to prove themselves and get noticed by a large audience. Many band members recall how they went to Warped every year since they were young teenagers, and how playing the tour today is a surreal experience.
The tour certainly has changed since its punk roots. Even though the type of music on the tour has evolved to fit the tastes of the younger generations of fans, there are still plenty of hard-working, do-it-yourself bands that use Warped Tour as a grind-it-out way of getting noticed.
They aren't the bands that play the main stage with thousands of kids watching them. They aren't the bands that sit at tables, signing autographs for a winding line of fans. Maybe they will be those bands one day, but for now they're struggling musicians waiting for their chance, and hoping that Warped Tour helps them get there.
The Narrative is a prime example of such a band. Having release a self-titled record in 2010 to solid critical acclaim, this is the type of band that might have thrived during more promising times for the music industry, when the economy was better and more people paid for music.
"When you're doing everything yourself, it's hard to get your stuff out to that many markets," Gabriel said. "The response to the record was good, but we're a band on such a small scale that it's really just pockets of people that know about us. There are only some specific markets that have taken a liking to us."
Gabriel and Zeldin both said that while critical reaction to the record was positive, it's been difficult to become known to a larger audience. They're hoping Warped Tour will help in that sense, and get them some attention from record labels and others who can help smaller bands.
"When you're a band that's doing everything by themselves, you know, you're constantly questioning whether or not it's worth it," Gabriel said. "'I'm spending all my money, I'm sacrificing all of these things, is this really worth it?' But then you have these people who you don't even know that are thrilled with what you've done, and that makes you stop questioning yourself."
That mindset is the driving force behind almost all of the bands on Warped that are doing it themselves. Zeldin said that without label support, they were only able to budget a small amount of money towards promoting themselves each day of tour. Every morning, the band wakes up around 7 a.m. to begin moving their equipment into the venue. They hang up about 40 posters with the location and time of their set, hoping that people will come check them out. Forty posters aren't that many, but it's what they can do.
The tour is costing both Zeldin and Gabriel thousands of dollars out of their pockets that they made doing "regular" jobs, the types of jobs Gabriel said they have so they can pump money back into the band.
"We're both just in this to go for it," Gabriel said. "We both graduated from universities with degrees. We could have jobs with salaries that we could use to buy houses and raise families if we wanted. You make your own choices in life, and we chose to do this."
"It's a lot of hours that you spend working on it. We're only two people," Zeldin said. "[When we're not on tour], we're practicing, we're writing songs, we're sending out the merch orders, we're trying to get attention from places. As two people without a lot of resources, how much can you do in a day? Out here, when we're out hustling trying to sell merch or trying to get kids to listen to our band for the first time, that's a lot of work but we think it's worth it."
All of the sweaty hours that go into the beginning of the day, Gabriel said, more than pay off during the 30 minutes they actually get to play their music. Having a small crowd of about 50 people, or at some venues many more, is a sign that The Narrative is doing something right and that people care.
"They're extremely hard-working people, and it's a great experience to be out here with them and see what they're doing," Fuentes said. Fuentes takes care of The Narrative's merch tent every day, setting it up early in the morning and trying to get people to come by the tent to hang out, check out the band and buy a CD or t-shirt. She isn't getting paid. "I had a chance to go out with them and it's for the experience, and to help them out. We may not be selling stuff to every kid, but at least they're becoming aware of the band and every little bit helps."
Spreading awareness of their existence is an important day-to-day activity for Zeldin and Gabriel. Some bands take this to an even more extreme level. Farewell Fighter, a pop rock group out of Nashville, Tenn., is following Warped Tour around the country in a different way. Farewell Fighter isn't playing every date of the tour, they don't have a merch booth and they definitely aren't on a bus.
Instead, the four-piece is trekking around the country in a beat-up van, hoping to spread the word about their band and get people to notice them.
"A typical day starts around 7 a.m. for us," vocalist/guitarist Kenny Fleetwood said. "We park our van wherever Warped Tour is that day, then head out and work the lines for about seven hours."
When Fleetwood says "work the lines," he means that he and his bandmates head to the front gates of the venue before it opens for Warped, talking to thousands of kids who are waiting in line to get in. They walk around with backpacks full of CDs and iPods with headphones to show people their music. Fleetwood said the band probably talks to about 2,500 kids every day between who they talk to before the venue opens and in the evening when people begin to leave Warped.
"We're just trying to plant seeds with kids who have never heard of us before," Fleetwood said. "Most of the kids like our music, and if they don't buy a CD then we at least give them a flyer. If even 5 percent of those kids come and watch us in their town when we go on a normal tour, that means we brought 100 bodies through the door to watch us play and that's huge."
Farewell Fighter has been having fair success this year on Warped, and it's something that Fleetwood said he's immensely grateful for. He said the band sells between 150 and 200 CDs every day just by talking to strangers in lines, and he estimates that by the end of the tour the band will have sold 6,000 units. At $5 per CD, it's the first time the band has seen a significant profit off of its music, and Fleetwood hopes it will attract the attention of a record label down the line.
Even when the band takes a break from patrolling the lines in the sun, they are still finding ways to keep busy. Farewell Fighter has been volunteering with several nonprofit organizations on the tour and even helping to set up stages – all without getting paid. As a reward, they have gotten to play a few dates of the tour on the Kevin Says Stage.
"Giving back to the tour is almost as important as the promotion for us," Fleetwood said. "When we tally up our daily totals and head out in the van to drive to the next venue, we see the work we've put in and that's what makes it worth it. It's the drive toward bigger goals."
Other bands that are on the entirety of Warped Tour in a van are making do with what they have. Shut Up And Deal, a pop-punk band from Milford, Conn., is navigating Warped in a van this year. They are on the entire tour and they play 30-minute sets every day on the Kevin Says stage.
"It's been a mess. Crowded, sweaty, uncomfortable and awesome," said Shut Up And Deal vocalist Joe Heafy. "It works out, you really just adjust. At first it sucks because everyone is sweaty and the air conditioning doesn't work right, but you just get used to it."
Shut Up And Deal has five band members and two crew members working from dawn to dusk every day to try to keep up with the more established bands on the tour. Everyone wakes up in the morning and unloads the trailer. After the equipment is in the venue and the merch tent is set up, the band spends the entire day promoting and taking on as many press opportunities as they can to get some buzz circulating.
Since they're still an unsigned band, it was only through hard work and developing a rapport with Warped Tour owner Kevin Lyman that Shut Up And Deal managed to get the chance to be on the whole tour in 2011.
"We started out as one of those bands who were just working the lines and hustling CDs back in 2009," said guitarist/vocalist John Vieira. "In 2010 we played a few of the dates and Kevin Lyman watched us perform. He liked what he saw and invited us to play the whole tour this year."
While Shut Up And Deal has worked its way up into the Warped Tour ranks, other bands have been a little more fortunate. Sharks, one of the most popular up and coming punk bands from the UK, are only on their second-ever tour in the United States.
Before crossing the Atlantic to get to the U.S., the band signed to Rise Records, creating the Velocity Records imprint to release "The Joys Of Living: 2008-2010." The support of a fairly large record label has made the world of difference for the band on Warped, but even with that huge leg up, the group was still shocked at just how brutal the tour can be.
"It's been great, but we feel like we've been out here for an eternity," said Sharks guitarist Andrew Bayliss.
Bayliss said Sharks is doing the tour in a Bandwagon – not exactly a bus, but not a van either. "It's basically a bus but instead of that back lounge, you've got a small shower back there," he said.
That shower certainly helped the band in times like the Florida dates, when the heat made everyone take shelter. Plenty of bands were turning down press opportunities or spending less time by their merch tents in favor of finding some shade or keeping cool in their bus.
"It's really at the point where we're almost starting to lose some of our motivation," said drummer Sam Lister. "It's bad to say that, but the tour has actually been amazing. It's been an eye-opening experience. The crowds that have been coming out and the reaction we've gotten [has been] great."
Lister and lead vocalist James Mattock both mentioned the wide diversity of the bands on the tour. From metalcore to punk to pop to bluegrass, the type of music everyone plays "takes a backseat," and it just comes down to being people on the same tour.
"It's completely draining," Lister said. "When you're in one of the bands out here, and you're handing out flyers or hanging up posters or trying to get kids to listen to your band, it all feels like this great uphill struggle. It takes so long even to just get kids to listen to your band. And when you hand out those flyers, like 75 percent of the people just walk away and drop them straight on the fucking floor. And you're just watching them do that shit right in front of you. Then later on, you're holding up a t-shirt, and a kid who looks like Justin Beiber is yelling shit at you. And sometimes you're just like, 'Why am I doing this, man?'
"But then you get up on stage and you've got three times as many people watching you as you were expecting, and you're like, 'Well, yeah, that's why I did all that.'"
To most people, the lifestyles these young men and women lead may seem ridiculous. Among all of the parents who want them to get normal jobs, the high-school classmates who are getting married and having kids, the closed-minded people who don't give them a chance and all of the other obstacles that DIY bands have to overcome, they still manage to keep at it every day.
Dan "Soupy" Campbell of The Wonder Years once said in an interview conducted in January of 2010 that if you go to a punk show or if you're in a punk band, there's got to be something a little wrong with you. Maybe there's some a little different in the minds of these bands who work as hard as they can and are satisfied with the tiniest of responses, but whatever that little difference is keeps the independent music scene thriving.
"Everyone is just doing this day-to-day," Lister said. "I know we may be in the minority, but everyone here is working their asses off. Everyone's sweating all day. The musical differences take a step aside on this tour, more than ever before. After doing this every day and seeing these bands who work just as hard or harder than we do, you just have so much more respect for everything involved in it."
Damn that daily schedule looks so grueling to repeat over and over again.
That was a great read and I now admire the bands even more. My friends barely survive a day at Warped and the bands survive a month or two. It's crazy but it's a good crazy and we need more bands like these instead of the ones who form and get signed before playing one show that don't even deserve to be signed. Keep it up; one day you'll get the recognition you've worked for and deserve so much.
This was actually a great read, cool to see what it's like to be on warped. I really hope The Narrative get signed sometime soon.
The Sharks' "The Joys Of Living 2008-2010" was released by Velvet Scene in association with Rise Records, not Velocity.
Really interesting read. Definitely give all bands mentioned in this and all unsigned/small bands on Warped props for what they do.
Great read, Thomas.
what? van?
Best opening sentence ever.
I enjoyed this. I really was glad to be able to hang out with The Narrative after their set. They are great people and their music is pop gold. They were perfect music for a sunny day and really was a great transition from pop punk bands to pop rock band that day. Warped is always fun and meeting the bands is probably my best memories taken back (also a signed Terrible Things drum stick :D)
But seriously, this was a really good read. Put things into perspective for me. Warped Tour is goddamn grueling.
As always, a great read. Loved the side bar. So much respect for the DIY bands.
When I did press last year, so many smaller bands just walked right up to me, volunteering themselves for interviews, including Ryan Shaw of The Early Strike. The spirit of these small bands is incredible.
Not over here they aren't. I don't think they've ever done a headline tour. Typical industry backed band being handed great support slots like with The Gaslight Anthem, meaning a proper hard working "DIY" bands miss out. And they're toss.
blah blah blah. get over it.
good read! especially seeing as i won't probably be able to see this picture any soon
THIS ! and a very nice read. GREAT JOB!
pretty awesome read. I remember this all too well from 2009. It was a lot of fun hustling but over time it gets to you - especially if you aren't playing and just hustling CDs. I eventually booked a couple dates to play shows in between Warped drives to make sure we were reminded why were there haha.
btw - awesome first sentence.
Great read. Sharks was phenomenal at Tinley Park.
Really good article.
Interesting read.
TL;DR version is that being in a small band is hard but everyone Thomas interviewed seemed OK with the choices they'd made.
This was a cool read but the constant bitch fest was annoying. Yes it is hot but welcome to the life most people have to deal with.
Absolutely. Look at warehouses, foundries, oil pumps, lawn care, oil fields, construction, etc. I could go on and on. I know it sucks in the heat but bitching about it gets old. I've had a shitty job where I had to do manual labor ,in the Texas heat, all summer long and full time. It blows but crying about it is just absurd.
great read, gives some really good insight.
also, my brother's name is samuel lister. huh.
definitely a good read. this makes me even more interested in the documentary on warped tour that's supposed to come out.
This. I repped my Hot For Suzie shirt when I went.
Awesome read (and opening sentence)
Glad everyone likes the opening sentence. Pretty important for an article haha.
An incredibly good and informative read. So good.
I just finished being on all of Warped Tour. We did the entire thing, and had to work our asses off all day. A lot of times, it feels like people just say how hard it is or whatever. It's hard, but why focus on the things that are hard? We're out there doing it everyday, from before the gates open at 7am until bus call, sometimes around 3am. Of course it's a lot harder doing the tour in a van, and through the tour, we lost 2 vehicles completely. I wouldn't think to complain in any way about the past 2 months of my life.
But in the end, I don't want to talk about how hard doing Warped Tour independently and funded by us was or anything like that. What matters is how awesome the whole experience was. Being there talking to new fans, playing on over a quarter of the tour next to bands I've looked up to forever, meeting old fans, hanging out all day; it's fun. It's an absolutely amazing experience being in Warped Tour every day.
I'm here if anyone wants to know anything, or has any questions!
Also, I had no idea that you were on LTJs bus for a few dates. I would've come and said hi!
Being included in this article was a definite pleasure. But I'd love to address anyone with the assumption that ANY of the bands were complaining:
Thomas' job is to put his report into words that the common reader can understand. Like a person reading about a war that they're not fighting. Not one member of any of the bands in this article can be quoted as saying anything less than loving and thankful of Warped Tour and the experience they had this summer. If anyone should be singled out, let's talk about the bands that bitch and complain about 'nothing happening' and not 'getting noticed' yet aren't doing shit about it. Can't ride that internet audience forever, boys. Yeah; maybe my favorite shirt is permanently discoloured due to excessive sweating this summer, but at least I'm working my dick off to get the word out about my band.
Thanks again for the feature, Thomas.
Oh, and fuck you, Cody. <3
Seriously though, that's not what I was saying. Obviously I saw you every day of tour for the most part, and we all had a ton of fun doing it.
Haha we're still in the van yo! Two shows into our home route (via L.A.) I'm homeless for this band, so when we get back to Nashville I'll be sleeping on couches. I consider this van the most comfortable place I'll be for at least the next two years of life. And I'm fine with that. Haha
man thats grueling for small bands....i worked as a production assistant on a indie horror film and i had 14 hour days working from 6 am until 10 pm at night for free and i BARELY made it through the 2 week shoot....i can't imagine 2 months.
Absolutely love that Farewell Fighter was mentioned in this article. I got the pleasure of following Warped this summer selling CDs for my friend, and watching all of them keep at it, even in days of sweltering heat, was an amazing work ehtic to see (they paired with my friend and this band called InPAssing could seriously accomplish anything with the drive they all had). It helped me keep going every once in a while when I wanted to give up--especially when I had a long day of selling and volunteering at Klean Kanteen.
That was me.

I'm upgrading a bike and found some nice shimano slr-440 (3x8) shifters for $20. They are marketed as flat bar road shifters. My cassette is an 8 speed shimano with a deore rear derailleur. The bike is a 700c hybrid that will be getting a shiny new rigid fork later this week. (Not really relevant, I just like to stroke the bikes ego)
The bike shop guy thought these parts should work well together, but the twenty year old slightly stoned seeming LBS employee's understanding of bike mechanics can't begin to rival the Bike Forums Collective Hive Mind. I just wanted another opinion before I go to the trouble of installing this and it doesn't work.
If they wouldn't work, would you keep the shifters and put something like a sora derailleur or get deore trigger shifters?
That said I hope it will work. (obviously)

FXStreet (Córdoba) - European stocks opened lower Wednesday, tracking Asian equities losses as tensions in Ukraine weighed on risky assets. Weaker-than-expected German data added pressure.
The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.62% to 330.12. As for country-specific indexes Germany's DAX 30 dropped 0.74% while the France's CAC 40 lost 0.36%. The UK FTSE 100 shed 045%. Meanwhile, Italy's FTSE MIB fell 0.74% while Spanish Ibex 35 was down 0.61%.
Stocks on Wall Street and Asia, slumped on reports Russia has considerably increased the number of troops at its eastern border with Ukraine.
From the data front, German factory orders unexpectedly fell by 3.2% in June versus a 1.0% rise expected. During the New York session, the US will release June trade balance figures.
In the FX space, the USD is mixed, having given up gains versus European rivals after the EUR/USD hit a fresh 2014 low on the back of German data. The USD/JPY is little changed around 102.50 while the AUDis outperforming. On the other hand, the NZD is sharply lower after disappointing domestic jobs figures.
As for commodities, gold rose 0.58% to $1,292 an ounce, while crude oil gained 0.25% to $97.62 a barrel.

Vine Deloria, Jr., 1933-2005
Vine Deloria, Jr., generally considered by historians and anthropologists to be the most important spokesperson for Native American issues for the last thirty-five years, died November 13, 2005.
Deloria exploded into the national consciousness in 1969 with his incendiary Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto.
Several of his other writings – God Is Red: A Native View of Religion (1973), Behind the Trail of Broken Treaties: An Indian Declaration of Independence (1974), and Red Earth, White Lies: Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact (1995) – showcased his dual background training as both a student of theology and an attorney.
Mr. Deloria, who spoke tirelessly against the U.S. policy of termination which sought to blend Native Americans into mainstream cultural, was 72.

I enjoyed the last one and look forward to this one. Count me in for the maximum.

I enjoyed the last one and look forward to this one. Count me in for the maximum.
I'm interested in participate. My limit will be 100 postcards (I have one box of Ilford postcard paper waiting to be opened).
Randy, I'm going to e-mail you with my real name and address.
We can limit the number of cards however you like, the 30-35 range seems popular, but I have no problem at all with it if you would like to print 12 or 24 - no worries here.
I agree about the threads, but at this time I have no ability to do any of that, but I think that it's a good idea. I'll at least start a new post listing the participants and asking everyone to post there once the round begins on the 1st of January.
Thanks for the suggestions, and again, if you want to print a dozen or so, it's fine by me. I know that round with 50 was a real bear to keep up with (for me anyway), but I think that this round will be more like that last with around 30-45 total. Just PM me with your mailing address and the max number of cards you would like to print and I'll handle it from there.
- Randy
I'm still trying to decide whether to stick with it or not. The number of people who fail to meet their commitment seems to be getting larger, and this makes it very disappointing. Despite that, I have received some excellent cards this time, even if it is only about 18 out of 29.
I know, and it bothers me too. That's why I put in the part about not being able to join again if you don't meet your obligation. I don't think that there is any way to completely knock out the drop outs, but I thought that this method might at least reduce the number to something more manageable. I think a lot of people mean to do it, but something comes up or they can't foot the postage or whatever and end up not doing it...
It's cool either way, and I don't want to pressure you in any way, but I did want to say that you're not the only one who is concerned about drop-outs.
- Randy
I'm in for 24. PM sent!
That incessant whirring sound you'll hear from the Pacific northwest will be my Beseler motor base processing tube, after tube, after tube....:)
Now to find an interesting negative that prints "straight".
I'm in for 30. I'll PM you with my details.
I really enjoy sending and getting the cards, but I do somehow feel cheated when I don't get what I've sent. I think your way of handling it is perfect: assume you'll fulfill your obligations....if you don't, you don't get to play again until you fulfill your original obligations. I really don't know how much else you could do.
Thanks for picking this up -- Mark
I'm in again. Thanks to Nige for organizing a great exchange and to Randy for taking the helm.
Some will have found they had bitten off more than they could chew and some have simply not had the time/opportunity. Some cards will have disappeared in the world's postal systems. I find it hard to believe that more than a couple of people, if any, will have signed up with the deliberate intention of not sending any out.
It would help if people who could not make the deadline this time around, for whatever reason, said so and sent them out in the next few weeks. Calling people names is not going to encourage this: it just encourages them to keep their head down and keep quiet.
Having said all that, there were by far the highest number of defaults I have seen in the last round: I got about a 60% return rate and the trickle of late cards I normally get did not occur - no doubt doubly annoying to those who went to extra trouble this time around with their cards. Hopefully, disallowing defaulters from further participation will reduce the problem in future.
Cheers, Bob.
P.S. As always, if anyone didn't receive my card who should have, PM me and I will get a copy out to you (it's in the Gallery in case you couldn't read my scribbled signature on the card!).

Rolla P. Huff
Thanks, Louis, and good morning to everyone joining us on the call today.
Before we get into the quarterly results, I wanted to take a step back and talk about EarthLink's progression since we began our evolution to a Business Services company 2 years ago. As you all are well aware, we're now nearly 2/3 of the way through a 3-year transformative integration that began at the end of 2010 when we purchased ITC^DeltaCom, followed shortly thereafter by One Communications.
We went into these deals with eyes wide open, discussing with our investors that there were substantial portions of the revenue bases that were declining and would continue to do so, and of course, the multiples we paid reflected the fact that these were declining businesses. We understood that the CLEC business model and the legacy products in that model wouldn't be the products that drive our growth over the long-term, but the acquisitions came with long-lived valuable fiber assets, as well as a customer base and cash flow, and our view of the best path forward was to use these assets and customers to build a new sustainable business.
Over the past 24 months, we put these assets together with additional IT services capabilities, some that were bought and others that we developed ourselves. We began to go to market in 2012 to address what, we are confident, is the substantial emerging opportunity to sell IT services to mid-market business customers. We're at the midst of the integration. We're still early in the new sales motion and nothing is easy, but our growth products are getting substantial traction. More specifics on this in a minute. And I'm more convinced than ever that we're positioning Earthlink to fully participate in a massive wave that is just beginning to form.
That wave is being driven by the need for all but the very smallest business customers to move more and more of their business model to the web without compromising the security of their data and the personal information that their customers send them. These businesses are recognizing that their top lines are not keeping up with the ever-increasing cost of IT, IT infrastructure, data security and regulatory compliance requirements. It is precisely because of that reality that Earthlink has been developing an integrated set of capabilities for customers to choose from. These capabilities will allow customers to variabilize their IT cost structure, while operating their enterprise-class operating platforms and expertise.
Our differentiated blend of secured, near-ubiquitous IP connectivity, state-of-the-art cloud platforms and emerging control point technology, as well as our history of outstanding customer service, is now starting to be recognized by industry groups and analysts that cover this substantial technology shift. We are increasingly being included in the list of companies that are leaders in the space. Just this week, Earthlink Business was ranked, not just on the list, but as the top managed services company by MSPmentor, who ranks the Top 100 Managed Services Providers. That's an important recognition for Earthlink, and we'll be sending out a press release in the coming days announcing this. There is much work still to do, but our long-term opportunity and potential has substantially improved over the past 24 months. Over these past 2 years, we've made significant strides on our top line trajectory.

Good post
I've been holding this for a very long time seeing the value go down the drain. With the last quarterly report, and frankly the previous one as well, I feel more confident that this could, in fact, become a success stor after all. Not like the prior hausse based on hybris numbers, but on a more fundamental basis. But just as you say, there are always new situations/risk luring around the corner that we know very little about. I mean, weather conditions could probably ruin a month of production.. I lost 95 % in an uranium stock in canada due to a wave in japan.. things happens.
Hoping for the best!

Analyses Of Local Ticks Show Two Emerging PathogensSaturday, June 27, 2015 at 9:51 am
One recent morning at Bridgeport's Seaside Park, US Senator Richard Blumenthal joined Connecticut State Epidemiologist Matthew Cartter, MD, MPH, advocates and patients in calling for additional federal funding for Lyme research to develop better tools for diagnosis and reporting of the disease.
At the event, experts shared the latest statistics on Lyme prevalence in Connecticut.
Spring Has Sprung, Ticks Are HereFriday, April 10, 2015 at 4:36 pm
Winter formally ended a few weeks ago, but the weather has not yet fully warmed up. Regardless, Donna Culbert, the director of heath at the Newtown Health District, knows what that means: it's tick season.
This weekend's weather is predicted to be beautiful and many, many people will be outside enjoying the weather, working in their yards, hiking on trails, and just soaking it in.
And the ticks will be out too.
Wet Winter, Warming Wave Spurring Local Tick SwarmsSaturday, April 26, 2014
Dozens of Newtown residents have turned to social media in recent days hailing the long-awaited arrival of springlike weather. But local resident, radio personality, and DJ Kirk Michaels made note of another harbinger of spring in a Facebook post April 21.
Mr Michaels noted that both his two dogs, along with his wife and he have all been pulling an inordinately large number of ticks off themselves.
"So far, we've removed ten ticks within the last two weeks," he stated.
Tick Season Returns With SpringThursday, April 25, 2013
If 2013 runs true to form, another 2,000-plus Connecticut residents will be diagnosed with Lyme disease, adding their names to tens of thousands of other state residents who have contracted the disease over the past decade.
Health Director: Fresh Crop Of Tick Bite VictimsThursday, April 25, 2013
Standing outside the local referendum voting place April 23 promoting the BLAST program to help protect residents from tick bites and the possible association with tickborne illnesses, Health District Director Donna Culbert was approached by several residents who had already been bitten by ticks this year.

When free agency opens March 11, the Redskins will have about $30 million in cap space and lots of holes to fill. Over the next few weeks, Redskins Insider Tarik El-Bashir will examine the field of potential free agents, by position, and evaluate who might be a fit in Washington.
Today, we're looking at guards.
Background: Yesterday, we examined the free agent market for tackles—just in case the Redskins decide to kick the tires. Today, we'll survey some of Jay Gruden's options at guard. LG Kory Lichtensteiger is significantly smaller than the guards Gruden used in Cincinnati, but he was consistent in 2013 and is a good bet to return as a starter. RG Chris Chester, however, has decent size but he struggled after a strong 2012 and could be in jeopardy. If the team does not believe young reserves Adam Gettis and/or Josh LeRibeus are ready to make the jump, it's possible they'll look to sign a veteran.
Best available: Although there's no real consensus here, Carolina's Travelle Wharton (6-4, 312) enjoyed a strong 2013 and sits atop a handful of free agent rankings (which probably says something about this year's free agent class at guard). After opening the season as a reserve, Wharton became the starter at left guard in Week 6. He'll be 33 in May, which will no doubt impact his appeal (and price) on the open market.
Best fit: Geoff Schwartz, Chiefs. Started six of the last seven games at right guard after taking over for Jon Asamoah. Schwartz also made one start at left guard in 2013 and can play tackle in a pinch. At 6-6, 340-pounds, Schwartz possesses the size Gruden prefers at guard. He's coming off a strong season, is in his prime years and won't break the bank. It should be noted that Schwartz and the Chiefs have both acknowledged that they'd like to get an extension hammered out.
Best of the rest: Jon Asamoah (Chiefs) is 25, 6-4/305 and has started 41 of 59 career games, mostly at right guard; Zane Beadles (Broncos) is 27, 6-4/305 and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2012; Willie Colon (Jets) is 30, 6-3/315 and will be coming off a torn biceps suffered in Week 17.

Away From the Desk...Always
A new breed of workers -- independent, autonomous, out of the office -- requires a new breed of manager
There's a new class of worker out there: Nearly Autonomous, Not in the Office, doing Business in their Own Time Staff.
Or nanobots, for short.
The Journal Report
See the complete Business Insight report.
Empowered by their mobile devices and remote access to the corporate network, nanobots put in long hours, sometimes seven days a week -- just not at their desks. Different from mobile workers, who usually stay in close contact with managers, nanobots thrive on their driven natures and on the personal freedom with which they are entrusted. Found at many levels of an organization, from sales managers to senior executives, they are self-starting high achievers who produce strong results with a minimum of supervision. Allowed to find their own equilibrium between work and private lives, they tend to put work first.
Managed correctly, nanobots can be a huge asset to their company. Point them in the right direction and they will do their best to hit the target without further input.
They let senior management focus more on reaching goals than on how those goals are reached. As outside-the-office workers, they also can reduce some of a company's usual overhead costs: Taken to the extreme, a business that uses only nanobots has no need for office space, or the kinds of human-resources infrastructure that companies provide for conventional employees.
The challenge, and it's a big one, is finding the right balance between the nanobots' autonomy and the needs of the organization. This is new territory for a lot of companies. Indeed, most managers aren't used to dealing with full-time employees whom they rarely see, and who, because of their free-floating status, may not belong to a clear-cut department or region. Issues involving trust and communication can quickly arise.
There's also the problem of recognizing who is cut out to be a nanobot, and who isn't. While autonomy given to someone with the right qualities can increase their productivity and work satisfaction, trusting it to the wrong hands can lead quickly to wasted resources and a company that's running off course.
What follows is a look at what it means to be a nanobot, as well as the challenges this new breed of worker poses to organizations and managers.
Out There
- New Position: Mobile technology and a growing willingness to let employees find their own equilibrium between work and personal lives combine in a new kind of employee -- one who works almost entirely outside the office.
- Is That a Good Thing? They can be huge assets to their companies, as they need little supervision, which allows management to focus on larger goals.
- What Are the Downsides? Managers must learn to recognize who can be trusted with so much autonomy. It's also a challenge for both parties to find the right balance between the worker's freedom and the needs of the company.
Nanobot Behavior
First, it's important to distinguish nanobots from other kinds of mobile workers -- those, for example, who use mobile technology not because they have to, or because it's an integral part of their job, but because they want the organization to know they're always on the job. Some call this the "last-one-out-of-the-office syndrome," and it's epitomized by the worker who sends emails on Sunday afternoon or late at night. A second type of mobile staffer: those with so many responsibilities that they can't finish everything within normal working hours. Genuinely under pressure, they take work home because they have to, and often begrudge doing so.
Nanobots are a different breed. Their organizations trust them with the freedom, technology and other resources to do their jobs without coming to the office. Thus, they must not only be technologically self-sufficient but also have the maturity to exercise their autonomy in the best interest of their company and clients. They need the personal networks, knowledge and experience to deal with specific tasks, situations and problems on their own. They are highly talented and show positive attitudes toward achieving goals for their employers. They are highly self-motivated, and will often create their autonomous and flexible roles themselves.
For many nanobots, success is defined in highly personal terms, such as problems solved, or influence wielded as a consequence of personal credibility. To them, hours present in the office count for less than achievements. In many cases, they regard the quality of their intellectual input as their most important contribution to the company. This is particularly the case with senior-level executives, who see themselves as implicitly trusted and empowered to work with organizational resources at all times, in all places.
There is a downside, of course, to being always on call. While nanobots relish the independence that mobile technology gives them, they are painfully aware that their devices are both freeing and binding. In some sense, they set their own hours because of their mobile devices; in another sense, they can never get away from the business, which follows them everywhere, whether they're sea kayaking or with family during the holidays.
Nanobot Management
Management plays a big role in creating nanobots, by giving them access to the necessary technology and setting clear expectations about what is to be achieved -- and by when. But not everyone is cut out to be a nanobot. Managers must learn to recognize which employees are good candidates, and why.

- What Makes a Virtual Organization Work: Lessons From the Open-Source World
By M. Lynne Markus, Brook Manville and Carole E. Agres (Fall 2000)
How will the traditional management tasks of motivating and directing employees change?
Senior-level managers have observed that in many cases, particularly at lower levels in an organization, employees don't have the complete skill set or the organizational maturity to work autonomously. One of the attributes that's often missing is the self-confidence that comes with a track record of success. If a nanobot keeps deferring to someone else for decisions, then he or she isn't much of a nanobot. Such a person lacks the maturity to act independently. On the other hand, if the nanobot does make a decision independently and it turns out to be a bad decision, then, worse than the time and resources wasted, there is the risk of damage to organizational relationships that may have taken years to develop.
Trust between the company and the nanobot has to flow both ways. For senior managers, it can sometimes be a challenge to trust an off-site employee, since most managers are used to building trust in face-to-face relationships over time and in pressure situations. For some nanobots, too, a lack of "face time" can make it harder to acquire the trust of senior managers, or the power to make important decisions autonomously.
Not all managers have the skills or the personalities to manage nanobots. Some will no doubt resent the loss of direct control, and the lack of opportunity to add value to the relationship between the organization and the individual. Even where managerial goodwill can be assumed, it may be hard to build positive and effective relationships when the nanobot is seldom seen. And without social contact, it's harder to build credibility. Some senior managers who oversee nanobots, for example, express doubts about productivity gains claimed by their subordinates and look for mechanisms to challenge or verify those claims.
Our research suggests that nanobots tend to exercise their autonomy responsibly, showing self-discipline and highly effective use of available time. But even managers of successful nanobots have to invent new methods to set goals, review performances, develop skills and build relationships in this changing work environment.
Senior managers we talked to suggest it may be best to "macro-manage" nanobots, making clear what their roles and responsibilities are and setting high-level goals without focusing too much on how the nanobots achieve those goals. A supervisor could require a nanobot, for example, to complete a project for a set budget by a certain time, and to get in touch when it's done.
It may also be advisable to design work in segments, and to assign tasks needing certain competencies to workers who can complete those tasks without supervision -- in other words, to nanobots.

Here's a really clever use of augmented reality technology from Japan [1], which tries to trick the user into thinking they have eaten more than they actually have. A special headset with a built-in camera makes the image of your food look bigger than it really is, thus tricking you into thinking that you have eaten more.
Diginfo news cites the University of Tokyo researchers as saying that their studies indicate that the amount of food eaten does change according to the perceived size of the food:
So far, we've done tests involving 12 subjects, under quite strict experimental conditions, to see if the amount eaten actually changed. When food was magnified 1.5 times, the amount eaten decreased by about 10 percent. When it was made to look two-thirds its actual size, the amount eaten increased by about 15 percent.
They add that obesity is a big problem in the US, so such a solution could potentially work for anyone who struggles with overeating. If you'd like to see a demonstration of how it works, check out the video below from Diginfo, taken at the recent Digital Contents Expo 2012.
This service is reminds me of another mobile solution from the folks at Docomo that we saw last year. That was a photo application that analyzes images of your food, checks them against a pre-existing database, and provides you with a calorie count.
