Maintenance of Customer-Owned Service Lines
Pub. L. 102–508, title I, § 115(b),Oct. 24, 1992, 106 Stat. 3296, provided that:
"(1) DOT safety review.—Within 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act [Oct. 24, 1992], the Secretary of Transportation shall conduct a review of Department of Transportation and State rules, policies, procedures, and other measures with respect to the safety of customer-owned natural gas service lines, including the effectiveness of such rules, policies, procedures, and other measures. The Secretary of Transportation shall include in the review an evaluation of the extent to which lack of maintenance of customer-owned natural gas service lines raises safety concerns and shall make recommendations regarding maintenance of such lines, including the need for any legislative changes or regulatory action. In conducting the review and developing the recommendations, the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the following factors: State and local law, including law governing private property and rights, and including State pipeline safety regulation of distribution operators; the views of State and local regulatory authorities; the extent of operator compliance with the program for advising customers regarding maintenance of such lines required under section 18(b) of the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 [see subsec. (a) of this section]; available accident information; the recommendations of the National Transportation Safety Board; costs; the civil liability implications of distribution operators taking responsibility for customer-owned service lines; and whether the service line maintenance information program required under such section 18(b) sufficiently addresses safety risks and concerns involving customer-owned service lines.
"(2) Operation and maintenance responsibility.—Within 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act [Oct. 24, 1992], the Secretary of Transportation shall conduct, with the participation of the operators of natural gas distribution facilities, a survey of owners of customer-owned service lines to determine the views of such owners regarding whether distribution companies should assume responsibility for the operation and maintenance of customer-owned service lines. In conducting the survey, the Secretary of Transportation shall ensure that such customers are aware of any potential safety benefits, any potential implementation issues (including any property rights or cost issues), the recommendations of the National Transportation Safety Board, and accidents that have occurred, related to customer-owned service lines.
"(3) Applicability.—Chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code (relating to coordination of Federal information policy) shall not apply to the conduct of the review or survey under this subsection.
"(4) Report.—Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act [Oct. 24, 1992], the Secretary of Transportation shall transmit to Congress a report on the results of the review and survey conducted under this subsection, together with any recommendations (including legislative recommendations) regarding maintenance of customer-owned natural gas service lines."

Located where the sophisticated City of London meets the Cultural East End, South Place is the ideal base from which to explore, connect, or rejuvenate. With interiors by Conran & Partners, South Place is the first hotel from international restaurateurs D&D London. A focus on food is evident throughout, with two restaurants and four bars that attract both hotel guests and a crop of loyal Londoners. Angler is a rooftop seafood restaurant with a Michelin star, an air of relaxed elegance, and a stunning roof terrace. Serving comfort food with particular attention to provenance, ground-floor restaurant 3 South Place opens early for breakfast, weekends for brunch, and serves candlelit dinners until late. The hotel's public spaces are vibrant; contemporary designs are accented with an enticing mixed-media art collection. Digital print wallpaper, resin artefacts and programmable pixel walls provide a window into London's dynamic art scene. In each of the 80 bedrooms, guests will find thoughtful details and the latest technologies that anticipate the needs of business and leisure guests alike: fresh lemons and limes, push-button black-out blinds and mood lighting, Bang & Olufsen televisions with free in-room cinema, prints from contemporary London artists, and even hangover kits. On the first floor, the Spy Garden offers a retreat to hotel guests along with Le Chiffre, the residents' games room. Here you will also find five meeting and private dining rooms as well as a well-equipped gym, sauna and steam room. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff offer a warm welcome, and are always on hand to help guests create meaningful experiences and discover the real London outside.
Rooms & Suites
No detail has been left unconsidered in the design of the 80 rooms, such as large Bang & Olufsen televisions and even a toaster to ensure that your breakfast is just right. High-thread-count cotton bed linens by Josephine Home add to the comfort, while concealed lighting seems to elevate the beds above the pure wool carpets. Modern, understated design, as well as the materials, colors, and textures in each room create a sense of place. The four room categories at South Place Hotel each provide the highest standard in technical features, ranging from individually controlled climate-zones to free Wi-Fi (found throughout the hotel). Business travelers are sure to appreciate the spacious work desk with recessed media hub and multinational sockets, as well as AV and IT connections and chairs by the Finnish-American designer Eero Saarinen.
Allies and Morrison
South Place, the first hotel from restaurateurs D&D London and their partner, Frogmore, combines the business bustle of the nation's financial center with the creative eccentricity of one of London's hippest neighborhoods. Located near Liverpool Street Station, the hotel quietly absorbs the innate irregularities of the space with its consented U-shape and receptive, yet discerning façade that mirrors the buildings surrounding it. Conceived as two layers, the façade incorporates thermal insulation with glass against a dark, warm-colored metal, which play off one another in response to function and light.A carefully-crafted ground floor plan also allows 3 South Place restaurant and 3 South Place Bar to extend out onto the sidewalk for added interaction with the City's street scene.
Conran + Partners
Interior spaces at South Place—from its broad communal areas to the 80 bedrooms and suites—bear the aesthetic, award-winning signature of Conran + Partners, whose holistic practice embraces everything from master-planning and architecture to interior-, product- and graphic design. Specially commissioned artwork, including a wall of mechanical pixels, accents the hotel's lobby.
Des Gunewerdana & David Loewi
Restaurant group D&D London owns and operates over 30 of the foremost restaurants in London, Paris, New York, and Tokyo. CEO and Chairman Des Gunewerdana created D&D along with managing director David Loewi in September 2006 when they led the buyout of Conran Restaurants. After a postgraduate degree in Swiss Hotel Training, Loewi has accumulated over 25 years of experience in the London hospitality industry, while the Sri Lankan-born Gunewerdana studied economics at Bristol University and is an expert on financing, property, and design. With South Place, their first hotel, the men have struck a balance between the business bustle of the nation's financial center and the creative eccentricity of one of London's hippest neighborhoods.

The closing song was 'William It Was Really Nothing', add that to the setlist!
The last song televised was 'This Charming Man'. Great concert, started with 'I want the one I can't have' and was immediately reminiscent of his Glasgow concert during the so-called 'wilderness' years. Moz's voice for Glastonbury was on fine form. A great treat to get an hour of uninterrupted Morrissey on tv and made the witterings of Radcliffe at the start worth suffering through. I think Moz may have won himself some new fans after that concert. Really looking forward to Dublin in July after seeing this!

Outrageously good performance tonight by Moz n' band in Avalon land; show-stealing *bewitched*
To the person who told us (Americans) about justin.tv......THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I enjoyed being able to watch Moz, but I really really enjoyed U2, anyway, THANK YOU AGAIN! ONE LOVE, everyone! We need to get back to that type of thinking, Morrissey could stand to write a song about everyone loving each other, being one, being together and so on...but.......perhaps...i don't know...anyway, great show...thoroughly enjoyed getting to see it, again, thanks.
That Guardian review is lazy, cliched bullshit. As I get older, I believe the old adage more and more that 'people who cannot write become journalists.'
The gig..brilliant coverage by BBC, firstly: sound was the best mix i've heard for a Moz gig. He was in fantastic voice and deserved a far bigger crowd than circumstances (rain, radiohead, bumford and sons) conspired to deliver. I don't think he's ever been a festival performer though. his music is too stylish, artistic and elegant for the hands in the air crowd of casual middle class festival gig goers in designer wellies.
Moz was rather self-deprecating, having said that, and he didn't need to be so...i think he can't stand it when he's not the top of the bill, which is perfect;y reasonable!
I can't fault any of the songs really, 'Action' sounded better live here than the Janice Long session. Meat is Murder is the best, most dynamic version i've heard. Matt Walker...brilliant drummer.
Struggling through the overblown shite that is U2 at the moment, watching Bono and his faux-Jesus posturing, thinking about Morrissey's more humble charms...

Much interest generated; access to server for Morrissey-solo.com has been 'too busy' for past 2 hours, thus people were queueing to, but couldn't, post.
Seems 'The World Will Listen' after all.
I have to say, the new songs sounded so much better than on the Janice Long Show. Maybe there is hope afterall!

Meat is Murder killed it. Was great til then. Uphill after.
How many more times....
Only headline.
Grey hair and rockabilly jeans and a gay shirt with 1800th influences here and there. Efficient and boring and like a karaoke bar sing along. Followed by U2 caught in their 90's Yugoslavia war tour was just weird to watch.
If this is what people pay for I should start selling things.
6 days ago watched Morrissey in a gym hall in Dunoon, Scotland, deliver more or less the same set. Great being able to compare the 2 shows, after watching on BBC4 tonight!

The Guardian review is lazy. Somehow I doubt that Moz, who has been a Lou Reed fan since his teens, included Satellite of Love merely to pre-empt U2 - he has, after all, sung it on all of the Scottish dates in his tour so far.
Meat is Murder was NEVER intended to be a crowd-pleaser, and if it makes certain pseudo-lefties uncomfortable, then it is performing the role it was initially intended to. It SHOULD be unsettling and challenging.
As for glowering, all I can say is that as a seasoned Moz-watcher, I actually thought that he was on pretty chirpy form tonight. He was warm, self-deprecating and charming.
And is Moz really heading back to Manc-fester tonight? Somehow, I think not...
Quite surprised at how good the two new songs were after all the slagging off on this site. Are Morrissey fans so set in their ways now that they will automatically slag off anything new?
I thought he looked a little ill, and could certainly do with losing a stone or two.
I enjoyed it, but regarding the Smiths tracks the Guardian reviewer was spot on about the band. They simply aren't up to that level of shimmering beauty so it becomes a bit of a plod. In their defence few are.
Shoplifters is a case in point, a dark and threatening slice of pure gold, full of ire and anger, but tonight something of a chicken in a basket ramble. I'll ask you a question and you tell me what you think. If you listen to the band now and on that awesome Malmo bootleg for example, is the current lineup better now or worse, more vibrant or less? Saying the band seemed pedestrian would be putting it a little kindly, while saying they looked bored would be putting it unkindly.
Radiohead turning up unannounced did him no favours, of course, as an exodus occurred apparently, leaving Moz to perform to an audience seemingly not much larger than BB King before.
The new stuff still sets alarm bells ringing. It worries me that those are the first tracks deemed most suitable for a public airing. I hope to God he's just keeping his powder dry.
Anyway, always nice to see the old devil perform.
You may now accuse me of being a troll, as is the current vogue, while I go back and sit under my bridge grinding bones to make my bread.
Boz needs to cut down on the pies, that's all I'll say.
Great T.V coverage on BBC. Band seems on form.
Prior to 'Meat is Murder' Morrissey had a pop at David Cameron about the new British law banning live circus animals. Called the P.M a 'twit':
Audience seemed subdued by rain and mud. Wonder how much of the potential audience he lost to the surprise Radiohead appearance on another festival stage at same time.
Morrissey appeared very ill-at-ease and was too pre-occupied with U2. Have to agree that the band don't have the subtlety to do the Smiths songs justice, the ROCK version of TCM was a prime example.

Another Oldham interchange on I-71?
To the editor:
So the Hocker Group wants an interchange to connect Oldham Reserve with I-71? If anything ever really does happen there, I think that would be a great idea. At the same time, I can't help but find it laughable that it would give Oldham County five interchanges with I-71, while Jefferson County still has only one.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $4 million this year in Kenya's immunization program. Speaking as a donor, I can tell you that childhood immunization programs provide a very high return on investment. Vaccination services prevent illnesses, which reduce direct health costs and save millions of shillings in indirect costs, a fact I know Secretary Macharia appreciates. More importantly, vaccination services save lives.
Cambodia has made substantial progress towards achieving its Millennium Development Goals, including reaching the targets for Goals 4 and 5 years ahead of the target dates. I would like to congratulate the Royal Government of Cambodia, in particular the Ministry of Health, for its leadership in these efforts. The deployment of midwives to all health facilities and the endorsement of the midwifery incentive scheme are recognized as driving forces behind this great success.
Regardless of where we work, we are driven by one core mission: to end extreme poverty and advance the dignity of every human being. Yet, we come together tonight at a time when this mission—and our values—are being tested. Across the globe, millions of children—especially girls—are facing daunting threats.
Syria's children continue to endure relentless dangers, from barrel bombs to extremist militias. India's girls risk their lives every time they fetch water or visit latrines. And Nigeria's children are finding school a target for terrorists rather than a sanctuary for learning. All it takes it one look around the world to see that our joint efforts and advocacy are more critical than ever.
(As prepared)
Habari zenu, Good morning,
Honorable Henry Rotich, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury; Honorable Michael Kamau, Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure; Lucy Mbugua Managing Director of the Kenya Airports Authority; other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor to be with you.
In Cambodia today, women are living longer, healthier lives than their mothers and their mothers before them. As the nation's health system and economic opportunities continue to improve, Cambodian women have better access to higher-quality health services and products for themselves and their families. Giving birth is safer than it has ever been in Cambodia, for both mothers and their newborns. Contraceptives and other health commodities are more readily available and affordable. Deaths due to the most lethal diseases of the past – such as tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV – are declining each year.
(As prepared)
I am so pleased to be here to mark another milestone in our 50-year partnership with Kenya.
We are here today because we recognize that Kenya is in a position to benefit from the positive effects of a demographic change. The country is overflowing with young and ambitious Kenyans eager to contribute to the development of the country. If we can move them responsibly into their working age years as healthy, educated and productive adults, with fewer dependents, they can lead the development process and elevate Kenya to a middle-income country.
It gives me the greatest honor and pleasure to be here today to pledge the U.S. Government's support for the Government of Ethiopia's unprecedented commitment to End Fistula and Transform Lives by 2020. We applaud the Federal Ministry of Health for its renewed focus on obstetric fistula and for taking the bold step of developing a Plan of Action to eliminate fistula by the year 2020.
More than 1 billion people - one-sixth of the world's population - suffer from one or more neglected tropical diseases, also known as NTDs. These diseases affect the world's most vulnerable populations - those who are poorest and have little or no means to protect themselves from illness. Their impact on individuals and communities is devastating. In addition to the over 500,000 people who die annually from the consequences of NTDs - millions suffer from chronic disability, pain, disfigurement, and social stigma that keeps them from living full, productive lives.
This is an incredibly exciting week for the global community- as we outline a new approach to working together to prevent maternal and child deaths and set ambitious goals that we hope to achieve in the years ahead.We're thrilled that you are a part of it.
It is such an exciting time for this effort. Because for the first time in history, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable—a world without child and maternal death.
Child Survival and maternal mortality have been a focus of the U.S. commitment to global health for decades. Every year, we commit nearly $1.5 billion to this moral mission. And today, we know that how we deploy those precious dollars has the potential to transform millions of communities that suffer from the senseless tragedy of losing children to preventable deaths.

[Adobe Digital Publishing Suite] Hi, there. My name's Colin Flemming. I'm Adobe's Worldwide Digital Publishing Evangelist. We're going to take a look at the steps involved in building a digital publishing application. Now the cool thing about this is it really hinges upon the use of InDesign, so if you've got InDesign CS5 or 5.5, you are already ready to go. Let's start by taking a look at some of the things you need to prepare before you start this process. Overall, they're pretty easy, but you're going to want to do this before you really get into it. So for instance, you're going to need to have InDesign CS5 or 5.5 installed. Those are the basic tools we use. Now if you've installed CS5, you already have the new DPS tools built in. But if you're working with InDesign CS5, you're going to want to download these. Take a look to the left; there's some download links over there. Along with these tools, you're going to need to make sure they're up to date. So run the updates on the tools over here, and you're going to get the most current version of these tools and everything is going to run smoothly. Keep in mind, some of these tools update very frequently and some of them need to be coordinated with what Adobe's up to. So watch it, play with it, and go for it. You're also going to need the Adobe Content Viewer on your tablet device. Go to any of the app stores for Android, iPad, or Playbook, download the Content Viewer, and this is where you test your publications once you've built them. The last type of thing you need to do is acquire some identities. One of them is an Adobe ID. This is used for signing into the DPS service and for generating some of the content. The other type of credential or ID you need would be developer IDs for the IOS or Android platform. So you're going to want to go to their sites and become a developer and then get the credentials. Follow the instructions for those systems to install them at the end of the process when you're going to build your viewer and you'll be ready to go. Step 2 in the process is about designing your publication. Let's take a really quick peek at what goes into how I build a folio and article system. I'm going to build InDesign files in both the vertical and horizontal formats because my reader may rotate the device. I'm going to add interactivity to give them that extra sort of experience in my publication and then I'm going to construct a folio out of these InDesign files. So I switch over to InDesign and then we see I have both a horizontal and a vertical layout for this cover image. There 2 files become the 2 layouts for part of a folio. If I go and take a look at Folio Builder Panel, I have already started to construct this folio, and you can see in the Cover area, I have both landscape and portrait layouts. So 2 InDesign files and away we go. Now I also have an InDesign file here, which is one of my articles in the horizontal format. I want to add interactivity to this, and that's super easy using InDesign. I'm going to come down a page, and I've got a couple of images here, sort of stacked out on each other. I want to turn these into 1 single thing. That 1 single thing is going to be a slideshow. So I simply select them; I'm going to align the edges so they're right on top of each other, and the way we build a slideshow is by going to the Object States Panel and clicking New Object State. Now I have 1 thing with 5 different images inside of it and InDesign and the DPS Solution understand multi-state object to be a slideshow. So in the Overlay Creater Panel, I can see that it's a slideshow, and now I add the interactivity, for instance, to tap to play and pause and maybe to allow the user to swipe with their finger to add that interactivity. That's all the programming I want to add to this. So now it's the time to preview my work. One way I can preview my work is in the Overlay Creater panel. This would preview the 1 document that's open. Over in the Folio Builder, this is where I preview entire folios or entire articles. Let's just take a look at this 1 file. When I click Preview, InDesign generates the testing file and presents it in the Adobe Content viewer on my machine. Now I can see that interactivity, and I can move through this particular article, and I get the same experience people would have on a tablet. So now if I want to play the slideshow, I simply click to activate it, I can tap to pause it, as well, and I can swipe with my trackpad to change images. Moving down a little bit, I added some interactivity earlier, which allows pinch and zoom, so I can zoom in or out on this particular image and move around inside of it. This was done simply by cropping an image and turning a single radio button on. So I've built the interactivity. I've built some articles, I've assembled them into a folio, and this is all within InDesign using the DPS tools. The next step in the process is going to be about producing the work into a larger system and then publishing, so we'll take a look at that in a sec. Now let's move to step 3. This is the Produce and Publish segment. This is why I'm going to use the online services of DPS to edit and manage the folios and then eventually build my Custom Viewer. So I'm going to shift over to the Digital Publishing Suite dashboard. This is where I get access to the analytics, the Folio pProducer, the Viewer Builder, and additional information. You might notice the updates over on the left-hand side, as well. I'm going to go into the Folio Producer. In the Folio Producer, I see all of the folios that I built over in InDesign using the Folio Builder Panel. So you can see at the top, here's my Local Fall publication, and I can see that there's a little bit of metadata that needs to be filled in. This is going to include things like the publication name, LOCAL, and the folio number, and a description. I also need library icons. This is what I see in the viewer when I look at the folios that are available. So I simply choose some images and upload these in as the vertical and as the horizontal library images for this particular publication. So this is what the Folio Organizer does for me. It let's me see a folio, see metadata about the folio, but now I need to go inside of the folio to tune a little bit of information. I do this by selecting the folio and then opening it. The Folio Producer now shifts from the Organizer Mode into the Editor Mode. And now what I can see is the 3 articles that I added to the Folio Builder Panel in InDesign. What's really cool here is I can take a look at the vertical or a horizontal thumbnail. I can select 1 one of those stacks, drag it into a new position to change the order, and when a select the stack, I see metadata, article properties over on the right-hand side of my screen. If I need to edit any of these, it's really easy for me to do, like adding a title. So this shows up as part of the navigation in my publication. Now I'm going to leave the Folio Producer. I'm going to go back up to the Organizer and what's important at this point, once I've got everything squared away, is I need to publish this. The act of publishing is pretty simple. Just click the Publish button, and then choose a couple of things, like for the time being, this is going to be a private publication, so it isn't visible to the general world. I can also choose whether a publication is free or it's for sale. And I can give the publication a product ID, which is important to tie it to the application that I'm about to build. Once I click the Publish button, this folio is moved to servers and it's accessible with custom viewers. So we're almost totally done. The thing we need to do now is build the custom viewer. To do this, you use the Viewer Builder application. I'm logging into this Viewer Builder, and the Viewer Builder shows me the applications that I've already built if I've already built some. To start a new publication, I click the New button, and then choose the format. I'm going to build an iPad based application this time. I click Next, and then it's a matter of me moving through a series of panels, or panes, and filling in information. For instance, choosing a version of the viewer may influence the options available later in the Viewer Builder process. I'm going to choose things like the name of my application as it appears on the tablet device and the way it appears across the top of the viewer once I'm inside of it. And I'm going to choose things like which languages this particular viewer supports and that helps in the store process. When I move to the next panels, I may end up doing things like loading icons for the application and splash screens. It's important to build these ahead of time just to make everything in life a little bit smoother. If you're in Enterprise Publisher, you can customize some aspects of the viewer, like buttons across the bottom edge of the viewer. Next we identify the provisioning files you use for both testing and distributing your application to the app store. Once you hit the Built button, the servers start to build your application and when it's all done, back in the Manage area, you can then download your applications. So now you've completed the production and publishing segment of this process. Let's take a look at Sales next. Step 4 of the process is submitting your application and content to an app store. You're going to do this through that app store's portal and this is where you're going to set the price for your application. Now keep in mind that certain viewers can do certain types of things. Depending upon the type of subscription you have, you may just be setting the price within the app store or you may be adding things like subscriptions and entitlement and In-App Purchases, if you're an Enterprise DPS publisher. All of this depends a bit on your subscription and where you're doing the sale. The last step in the process is analyzing the returns. One of the cool things about your Custom Viewer application is that it's aware of how people move through your content and what they read. So I get information about the consumption of my content, and I view this through the DPS dashboard. If you're a SiteCatalyst customer, you get extra information available through your SiteCatalyst subscription. Pro and Enterprise customers without a SiteCatalyst get good basic information. So let's take a quick peek at what this looks like. Now I've logged into the Digital Publishing Suite portal, and if I click on Analytics, now we see the dashboard about the installs for my application over time. If I take a look at things like which articles, how the content is viewed, I can see which articles are the most popular. I can see which ads are most popular, and things like which videos or interactivity is the most popular. So this is great analysis information. It tells me how people consume the content, and it's incredibly valuable to me as a DPS publisher. So there you go. The 5 basic steps involved in the DPS publishing process. There's a lot of really good information out there that's going to go deeper into this, as well. I hope this helped you. Thanks.

Anthony Pratt Jr., 19, is accused of fatally shooting Westbrook resident Margarita Fisenko Scott, 29, whose body was found in a motel parking lot in Portland in January.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ A New York City man returned to Maine to face charges of killing a woman two months before her body was found in a parked vehicle has made his initial court appearance.
Nineteen-year-old Anthony Pratt Jr. said nothing during his appearance Friday in the Cumberland County Courthouse. He's being held without bail pending arraignment next month.
Police say Pratt fatally shot 29-year-old Westbrook resident Margarita Fisenko Scott in a Portland apartment in November and later left her body in a Motel 6 parking lot. Her estranged husband saw the SUV, brushed off snow and saw her body on Jan. 17.
The defense contends the case is based on circumstantial evidence and that there could be trouble with the timeline. The Portland Press Herald says a police affidavit remains sealed.

At the end of this year, America is facing the so-called fiscal cliff. You've probably heard something about it by now, and by the end of the year, at least another 8,000 citizens across Maine will have heard about it too, as part of a new grassroots campaign kicked off this afternoon by the Maine People's Alliance. As Jennifer Mitchell reports, the MPA is trying to send a message to Maine's congressional delegates that the Bush-era tax breaks should expire for the nation's wealthiest top 2 percent.
Grassroot canvasers singing to the tune of Yellow Rose of Texas:
"A fairer rate of taxes on our households at the top
Would ease our fiscal crisis and make our debt load drop..."
And that's basically what the Maine People's Alliance's new campaign is all about. Between now and the end of the year, they're going door to door to at least 14,000 households, with the goal of convincing at least 8,000 to join the push and tell congress to allow tax cuts to expire for the nation's wealthiest citizens in order to help reduce the federal deficit.
And they're starting in some of the state's poorest neighborhoods - like this one. "We're in what's known as Capehart in Bangor. It is public housing that used to be old military base housing and now it's home to a lot of working families- working poor families," says Nicole Brown from the Maine People's Alliance.
Brown says communities like this one are often disconnected from the budget discussions that go on in Washington. And learning the finer points on the so-called fiscal cliff isn't exactly at the top of people's to-do lists, when one is juggling several jobs, school, and parenthood, as many of the Capehart residents are.
But with the majority of them on some kind of public assistance, from MaineCare to food stamps, Brown says that the prospect of what could happen to entitlement programs at the end of the year does matter.
"The majority of them are really hard working people that are working low wage jobs and trying to support their families," Brown says. "There's a high rate of unemployment out here. It's really the place in Bangor, if you want to hear how how this economy is affecting hard working people at the bottom, it's the place to come."
Here's the issue: If Congress doesn't act, two things will happen simultaneously on Dec. 31: some potentially steep cuts to government spending - which could affect a variety of social programs on which low income Mainers rely - will kick in, and nearly every tax cut made in the past decade will expire.
Both of these measures have come about because the parties in Washington couldn't agree on a plan for how to reduce America's trillion-plus deficit. Together, the spending cuts, coupled with higher taxes, could put the brakes on the nation's economic growth - hence the fiscal cliff everyone keeps talking about.
But some, including the MPA, say that just increasing taxes on the wealthiest citizens could go a long way to bridging the fiscal gap, and they're hoping that Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe will agree and support such a plan during the last lame duck days before the start of the New Year.
"The top 1 percent in this country hold 90 percent of wealth in this country, so it's important that we look at how do we provide a better balance for families?" says Ana Hicks, senior policy analyst at Maine Equal Justice Partners. Hicks says that by taxing the highest income earners at the higher, Clinton-era tax rates, the country would recoup about $1.1 trillion of the $1.2 trillion needed in revenue to prevent deep across-the-board cuts to social programs.
And it's a message that seems to be resonating with the residents at Capehart - residents like Nicole Hustis, who says her mother-in-law can't afford heat this winter. "I'm not very into politics, but I can see that. I can look at the numbers and I can see very clearly that they're not paying their fair share," Hustis says.
President Obama and leaders in Congress have indicated that they intend to avoid the fiscal cliff. But so far, they haven't agreed on how to accomplish that.

Andrea Karim's Bio
Senior Writer
Andrea KarimLearn from my financial mistakes; I've certainly made enough of them.
Money and I don't have a great relationship, because we can't seem to hang out together for very long. I get money, I spend it. Even if I don't want to spend it, it's always being taken from me for weird things like "electricity bills" or "emergency medical procedures." Every now and again, I managed to figure something out that fixes my finances. In the meantime, I'll be happy to tell you how to avoid all of my monetary pitfalls.
I may not have all the right answers, but I've certainly got enough of the wrong ones to make an educated guess. When I find a good deal or stumble upon a good idea, I will be sure to let you know.

BOULDER — Bunny Kehoe admits that years ago, she worried that her daughter, Danielle, might be a little out of control with her passion for triathlons.
"She was watching Ironmans on television and she'd be like, 'I'm going to do that one day,' " Bunny recalled. "I'm thinking, 'Oh, my gosh, please, no.' "
Bunny could not have been more proud Sunday as she stood at the finish line and watched Danielle become an Ironman champion.
Bursting with energy and excitement as she crossed the finish line, Danielle won the women's professional race at the first Boulder Ironman Triathlon, staged not far from where she grew up in Arvada.
"It's very surreal," Kehoe, 27, said through the smile painted on her face. "I'm over-elated. I don't know. It's a dream come true."
A 2005 graduate of Holy Family High School, Kehoe had been pointing to Sunday for nearly 20 years.
Kehoe competed in her first triathlon at age 7. Throughout high school, she was a key member of the Holy Family track and cross country teams, but her passion was triathlons.
In 2011, she began piling up age-group victories. Among those was a first-place finish for the 20-24 women's group at Ironman St. George (Utah) on May 7, 2011. That was her first Ironman event.
In 2012, she competed in six events and won her age group every time.
She turned pro at the end of the 2012 season and produced three top-five finishes last year.
Sunday, she finished the 140.6-mile course in 9 hours, 19 minutes, 54 seconds. She defeated runner-up Laura Bennett by 24:05 — even though she was the fifth pro out of the water and the last pro out of the swim-to-bike transition.
"I'm not a faster swimmer, but I make it up somehow," Kehoe said.
Coming out of the water nearly 10 minutes behind Bennett, Kehoe made up ground on her bike. She finished the 112-mile bike course in 4 hours, 53 minutes — cutting 6:30 off Bennett's lead.
Bennett continued to lead for the first 12 miles of the marathon, then began to struggle. Kehoe finished the marathon in 3:16:42.
At the end, Kehoe couldn't wait to shift her focus to her fiancé, Jeff Mack, who competed in his first Ironman on Sunday.
For Kehoe, it was fitting that the run course took the triathletes through Boulder's Eben G. Fine Park, where he proposed to her.
Two years ago, Kehoe had the best year of her career.
Yet, with her first pro victory now on her résumé and her November wedding on the horizon, 2014 is going to be a tough year to top.

Electrosmog: coming to your utility soon?
Opposition to interval meters offers opportunity
Polarization isn't new to our discourse, nor is it likely to vanish soon. But the red herring is alive and well and, frankly, making a whopping comeback.
Among those who called or emailed yesterday was one S. Brinchman, who directed me to the organization she leads, smartmeterdangers.org. Meanwhile, in an anxious voice, Brinchman barraged me for 20 minutes with a litany of maladies being suffered by the citizenry, from grand mal seizures in children to heart attacks in 30-somethings and far worse.
So I assured her I'd check her website and asked for a link to evidence that electromagnetic frequencies were being used as weapons by the police and the military to subdue opponents, as she claimed. (This led me to involuntarily recall that the U.S. government in fact used Barry Manilow records at ear-shattering volumes to flush Col. Manuel Noriega out of hiding in Panama in 1989. So, obviously, you want to maintain an open mind. If our government would do something so cruel and inhuman, what is it not capable of?)
So I dialed up smartmeterdangers.org, which led me to electrosmogprevention.org, which led me to whyfry.org, which led me to citizensforsafetechnology.org, which led me to stopsmartmeters.org, which led me to emfsafetynetwork.org. The Center for Electrosmog Prevention provided links to the "American Coalition Against Smart Meters" and "Southern Californians Against Smart Meters." (I didn't include whyfry.org's link because my computer warned me: "This site may harm your computer.")
Citizens for Safe Technology offers articles that, among many, refer to BC Hydro as "an invasion force taking control over a country which does not belong to them and imposing their desires on the victims of the invasion" while another asks "is Steve Jobs' death an early predictor of what will happen to millions of intelligent citizens who have become hopelessly hooked on wireless technologies?"
Somewhere, buried in all that, I suspected there might be a reason that utilities may want to engage their customers.
"Edison installed a new smart meter yesterday," a first-person account begins on emfsafetynetwork.org's website. "I did not sleep last night.
"There is something going on in my head and body," the writer continued. "I have ringing in my ears at a very high pitch. Like a dog whistle or crystal in some electronic device whistling. It is creating some sort of electric waves from my ear to my body that is very uncomfortable. It is making me sick."
Under "Tampering Defined," the organization asked an environmental attorney for a professional reading of what acts constitute tampering and whether a homeowner who removes an interval meter and replaces it with an analog meter is guilty of tampering.
"The replacement of a SmartMeter with an analog meter should not constitute illegal tampering unless it is done with the intent to prevent the device from accurately measuring electrical use. Although the disconnection of the SmartMeter prevents it from recording electrical use, if such disconnection is not done with the intent to get lower electrical rates and a working analog meter that accurately records electrical use replaces the SmartMeter, the resident should be clear of any charges of tampering."
There's not much on the Center for Electrosmog Prevention site on cell phones, microwave ovens, radio towers and the like, but it does offer a video on "The Dark Side of 'Smart' Meters," which explains the many ways that a smart meter can spy on you. How that relates to electrosmog, I'm not sure.
While it's tempting to write off this movement based on its hysterical and hyperbolic tone, its paranoid stance, its outlandish claims, its inconsistencies, its requests for donations, if I had to dispense free advice I'd venture to say that utilities might want to engage their customers.
Call me crazy.
Phil Carson
Intelligent Utility Daily
You're Not Crazy, But Some Others May Be
I agree with Richard. Utilities - and their regulators - need to get out in front of this, because the issue isn't electro-smog.
Politicians and regulators have conditioned a large segment of the public to believe cheap, unlimited electricity is an entitlement. Smart Meters threaten access to that entitlement. Some of the folks that object to Smart Meters may have a highly misplaced notion that utilities are collaborating with regulators and politicians to control their lives.
Of course there are a couple of other lessons here. First, the same folks are going to raise a fuss over any form of opt-out dynamic pricing. Second, they're going to raise a fuss over demand response programs that rely on centralized (utility) control over appliances.
Jack Ellis, Tahoe City, CA
Your Not Crazy
There is a growing outcry going on across the country and they are using social media and other internet technologies to spread the word. There are many YouTube videos and blogs as well as reports from different groups citing scientific backgrounds. The meter manufacturers have banded together and formed a new association (http://smmaa.org/) to try and educate the public on smart meter benefits to counter the opposition. They have static reports which I do not think will even be a speed bump in trying to stop the growing public concern. If it is to be an effective effort then they need deeper pockets and interactive web sites that address each concern raised by the opposition with arguments and truths that the average person can understand.
My suggestion to utility is to educate your employees as well as your customers on what the opposition is saying and have good talking points to present the truth with accurate facts. I believe one of the best comparison examples that the public will understand is using a cell phone next to one's ear all day as well as the radiation emitted by microwaves in the home. There is a lot of scientific data available that shows both cell phones and microwaves ovens emit far more radio waves than smart meters do. Both are widely used by the public and in almost every home. There are ongoing studies and more being started, but there are no major public protest calling for banning the use of cell phones or microwave ovens.
