Media Should End Reliance on "He Says, She Says"

The media does a terrible job explaining public policies, and one of the major causes is reporters' reliance on "he says, she says."

The student paper's volunteer adviser, Emily Grannis, who also is a Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press fellow, talked with student editor John Vodrey on the phone while he was in the station. That helped Vodrey cite appropriate state statute and legal language to ask for an incident report.

I still object to shield laws. They are a de facto form of licensing reporters. You are your sources are unprotected if you're not included in the definition of "journalist" or your work isn't considered "journalism."

• Accurate reporting requires context. Why is gassing hundreds of Syrian civilians in Damascus worse than shooting and killing as many or more civilians about in and around Cairo? Why is the killing and wounding of thousands in Cairo worse than endlessly raping, wounding, mutilating and killing millions of civilians in the horribly misnamed Democratic Republic of Congo?

'Blurred Lines': Styled vs. Sensationalized, or Why 'We Can't Stop'
As readers' interests shift, integrity seems to lose its main market in reporting
Following last week's "scandal" at the MTV Video Music Awards, the pacing of news and reporting made itself known as a speed force to be reckoned with. In the minute-by-minute duration and aftermath of the performance of one, Miley Cyrus, and her "partner in crime", Robin Thicke, new age media came together to do what it does best: twitter our feed with dribble and spit-up commentary. It can't be denied that news reporting, in many ways, is stepping further away from hard facts and closer to tabloid gossip. In a day and age where Twitter is the new paperboy, it can't be denied that the facts are coming faster. And while this could be an opportunity for better news, more quickly, more often than not we're trading chances for quick links to real stories with 140 character quips on MC-Hammer-like "did you see her butt"s (#chauvanistsforCyrus). The real disappointment comes, though, when we look to major media outlets (Still trusted by some. Take off the aluminum hat, Johnny.) the next day for hard-hitting news, only to see that they've decided to throw their own hats in the ring. With prize-winning headlines such as CNN's "Miley Cyrus twerks, stuns VMAs crowd," the morning news was just as obsessed as the evening newsfeed. As a reporter, a writer, an observer, this obsessive, sprawling focus is what scares me most. It isn't the performance itself, full of dancers dressed as teddy bears or Cyrus' gyrating hips on Thicke's overly hyped crotch (See "Blurred Lines" for more details). It isn't so much the event that took place, as it was the reactive reports that left an extra, bitter after taste to my morning coffee. Even arts reporting, perceived to have more lenient, pop-culture laced subject matter, used to hold itself to similar standards of respectful re-tellings of facts rather than fiction. Though there had once been a clear distinction between opinion pieces and news articles, even in the realm of aesthetic focus, the lines are suddenly more blurred than ever. And where does that leave us, the "responsible" voices? Culture is, in many ways, defined by the voices that carry out its most essential conversations. If we are of the few so lucky as to have a readership, our words carry the weight of decades of said cultural insight and historical backing. What do we have to say for ourselves when these words, our influence, sacrifice authenticity for celebrity? Integrity for popularity? What are we really accomplishing when we re-draw the line between honest reporting and scandalized, gossip mongering, and honest words inch closer to the latter? What would our (fore)mothers say? This isn't to say that there aren't some voices, some news outlets out there, who aren't doing it right. While most couldn't look away from Cyrus' extended tongue (search "Venom" and "Marvel Comics" for more details), The Guardian, for example, wouldn't look past the more subtly digressive implications of the performance. Did you miss the moment where the young, stage-dominant, Caucasian Miley Cyrus groped her not so white back up dancers? (The Guardian didn't.) Some took an even more seasoned route, using temperance techniques to stop the sensational train in its tracks. In Rolling Stone's initially deceptive write up, "It's Miley, Bitch: The Tongue That Licked the World", Rob Sheffield gave a more balanced account of the 2013 Video Music Awards, mentioning Cyrus almost in passing, and spending his time taking equal shots at all the stars involved in what he said was MTV's attempt to make "sure this year's VMA party was a real show. With a little help from Miley." I ask again: What are we creating when we allow objectivity to bend to the will of popular demand, asking for glitter and jazz and sensationalized headlines? Nothing. We are creating a secular sinkhole of informational access. We lead our readers right back where they started. And that says to me that there must be a change made. The truth is, we CAN stop. If we want to. Why can't we create insight, rather than propagate fan mongering, rather than cling to one star's fateful decision to wear her teddy bear out that night? Let the reporters report and the readers decide. It's now or never. Robin Thicke will age (even more so, it seems) Miley Cyrus will find Disney again (and a few more times after that), "Blurred Lines" will find its way off the Billboard charts (catchy can only be caught for so long), but the honest word —that will last for…at least a few more years.

Even on a new setup, outlook downloads the duplicates, so they are still coming fomr the server somewhere.

Most of us know that the first step to healthy and vibrant skin is a high quality skin care regimen including the basics such as cleansing and moisturizing. However, most skin experiences specific issues that can only be addressed with targeted solutions. This is where Neova Treatments come in. Once you have taken care of the basics, turn to Neova Treatments for impressive results. These concentrated formulas contain proven effective active ingredients which attack problems at their sources.
Advanced anti-aging solutions from the Neova Treatments line can help address the symptoms associated with maturing skin such as fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, dullness and loss of firmness. Neova Treatments can also address other issues such as bruising and excess oil production. There are products for both the face and the body, allowing for beautiful and refined skin from head to toe. With all of the advances in science in recent years, there is no more reason to suffer from skin woes. Allow skin technology to work for you by committing to a regular program with exceptional, high quality formulations from Neova.
With all of the Neova Treatments available, there are solutions for a variety of skin concerns. Be patient with your skin care regimen and allow time to see results. With regular use, the skin will regain much of its lost vitality.
Neova DNA Total Repair is a corrective treatment product that helps reduce the symptoms associated with sun damage. Excess sun exposure can lead to loss of firmness, wrinkles and enlarged pores as well as dark spots and patches. Neova DNA Total Repair addresses all of these issues, firming and toning while evening out the skin surface and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Even large pores appear smaller and less noticeable. All skin types can use this treatment.
Dryness is a common issue that can lead to other problems if not addressed. Neova Squalane is made from pure olive oil. The natural oil nourishes the skin and leaves it moisturized and soft. This is a fast absorbing hydrating serum that can be used all over, even on the body for hours of comforting moisture.
Neova DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion is a multi-tasking treatment lotion that nourishes and protects while correcting the effects of past damage. The formula contains a copper peptide blend which improves the look of skin that has been compromised in the past. The nourishing properties help protect the skin against environmental aggressors which can cause further damage. This lotion is very lightweight and absorbs easily. You can even wear it under foundation without a greasy or heavy feel.

Lotus Notes allows access to email accounts/databases to be delegated. Delegation can be to users or groups and it works in a granular way (ie read only, read write, full access etc). This is extremely useful both for creating shared mailboxes for interest groups and best of all for making sure your emails can be answered when you are on holiday without scribbling passwords down on a yellow sticky for a colleague. The owner of the mail database can initiate the delegation and email a shortcut to lucky recipients.
What is the Zimbra take on my favourite feature in Lotus Notes?

"We would have preferred somebody with pharmaceutical experience obviously, but we felt we had that capability in house, and it was something over time that Jeff could learn. We ended up choosing the best general counsel rather than the best pharmaceutical general counsel."

I work in Microsoft Research at the lab in Cambridge in the Computer Mediated Living Group and especially the Socio-Digital Systems Group.
My current research interests are information visualization, the future of the book, social software, and mobile media. Before Cambridge I worked in the Social Computing Group in Redmond on aspects of shoulder to shoulder computing - that is building applications for several users to interact with together in the same room. Before that I worked on online virtual worlds, systems architecture, and formal methods at BT Labs. I hold a doctorate in Theoretical Computer Science from The University of Sussex.
(N.B. My old homepage is available here.)
|BookViz: Abstract visualizations of the texts of (children's) book series
The digital world of computers has impacted the world of books profoundly. The way books are produced and printed has been revolutionised, and the way we share our enthusiasm for the books we love has been enriched beyond recognition by the internet. What is next? While there is much focus on digital replacements for paper, in this project I wanted to look at using the analytical and display powers of computers to enhance our reading and understanding of texts, especially children's book series.
|A wooden box that randomly prints a picture out every few weeks.
This project's not written up externally yet as we're still working with Dave Kirk on a long term deployment, but I was very excited to join Richard Banks and Mark Selby in developping Mark's PhotoBox idea into a deployable prototype, built over the flickr and twitter APIs. It was odd writing code that needed to act so infrequently!
|Home Network Visualizations: appliance style visualizations of family network use
Part of our 'revealing the invisible' theme this project brought together work of the Systems and Networking Group and Socio-Digital Systems. I was involved with Peter Key setting up the project, and then again at the end when I wrote the code to combine Richard's designs with the Home Watcher back-end into something Marshini could deploy during her internship.
|BubbleBoard: A visual family answerphone for the kitchen (Microsoft, 2006)
BubbleBoard is part of the New Genres of Communication and Situating technology in the home themes we've been working on in the group, and I've been helping to build the software side. We've used internet voicemail to glean the voicemeails. I'm particularly excited by how we've split the work on the client between the designer (Richard Banks) working in Flash and me writing the code in ASP.Net running under IIS on the client. Hopfully we've got the split right and any design changes that come up during research trials will not impact the logic code. We'll see.
|Grab and Share: Using mobile phones to capture, show, and share clips from live broadcast TV (Microsoft, 2006)
Working with broadcasters we've been looking at the relationship between broadcast TV and mobile video. We are initially contentrating on a prototype implemented on GPRS/UMTS (and later DAB-IP and DVB-H I hope) that allows users to take clips from broadcast TV onto their mobile phones where they can show them to friends and share them with friends.
|CODII: Combatting the onlone dissemination of illegal images (Microsoft, 2005)
This project grows from a working relationship with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). The IWF are the charity who run the UK hotline that helps identify illegal online images in order for them to be removed, especial images of child abuse. The IWF is one of a number of hotlines affiliated to the international association INHOPE. Our approach is to take an understanding of the area gleaned from working with the IWF, and combine it with a technological and social science understanding of online community systems. This combination helps us to build novel and useful tools.
|zCast: Datacasting IP media to fixed and mobile devices (Microsoft, 2004)
The zCast project explores the potential of datacasting to provide novel services to the Media Center PC and to mobile devices. With Arqiva we built up the technological infrastructure to do DAB and DVB-T trials across Cambridge. In research we concentrated on the mobile scenarios by building prototypes that utilised the DAB digital radio network to deliver extended radio and broadcast TV to mobile devices. This work is ongoing.
|Media Center Buddies: using multiple instant messaging sessions over TV viewing (Microsoft, 2003)
Media Center Buddies looked at the problem of associating instant messaging with TV viewing. I tackled two elements of this scenario. Firstly how can you design a system that takes into account the fact that TV viewing is often not solitary, several friends or family members may all watch together. Secondly how do you have access to incoming instant messages from the distance of your couch but without distracting from the TV broadcast. This research was picked up by the Media Center Team and became their IM integration.
|Bumping Windows: automatic movement of windows accross multiple monitors (Microsoft, 2002)
Window bumping is a technique to automatically move a window, typically from one screen on a multi-monitor system to another. I prototyped three versions of bumping and tested them in the lab on two windows layout tasks. This was part of the ongoing work in Microsoft Research's VIBE team to improve how PCs handle multiple-monitors, large screens, or heterogeneous displays.
|Visual Decision Maker: movie recommendations for co-located users (Microsoft, 2002)
The Visual Decision Maker is an application that gives movie recommendations to groups of people sitting together. The VDM provides a TV like user experience: a stream of movie stills flows towards the center of the screen, and users press buttons on remote controls to vote on the currently selected movie. A collaborative filtering engine provides recommendations for each user and for the group as a whole based on the votes. Three principles guided our design of the VDM: shared focus, dynamic pacing, and encouraging conversations. We did a four month public installation and a lab study to see how these design choices affected people's usage and people's experience of the VDM. Our results show that shared focus is important for users to feel that the group's tastes are represented in the recommendations. This was joint work with Steven Drucker, Markus Lofstrom, and Asta Glatzer.
|Enhanced UI Feedback: shared focus in a puzzle solving task (Microsoft, 2001)
To examine the impacts of enhanced UI feedback on shoulder-to-shoulder computing, we conducted a study using a simple picture puzzle on a computer with one display, two mice, and one keyboard. After adding sound, color differentiation, status indicators, and a graphical history, the accuracy with which subjects reported the actions of the person sitting next to them increased significantly. Participants also took more time to complete the puzzle. Subjects shared the keyboard more when using the enhanced UI. We also found participants sitting to the left of the screen to be considerably more productive across both UIs. This was joint work with Markus Lofstrom.
|Allegiances and Fellowships in Asheron's Call: studying group interaction and social features in online gaming (Microsoft, 2001)
The aim of this study was to investigate how group membership in an online game affects online and offline social interaction. Our main questions were:
|Communications Toolbar: a lightweight toolbar giving users access to information and communications features (BT, 2000)
The comms toolbar sought to be a permanent minimal presence on user's desktops for handling communications and other appropriate information. Through news tickers, calendar and email integration, and telephony handling the comms toolbar was to offer a compact alternative to many portal offerings, with the benefit of providing cheaper telephony. I was the delivery manager of the comms toolbar through its prototype and design phase. It was eventually released as part of the BT Openworld home-page. Work with Mark Jessop, Phil Smythe, and Alison Wilard.
|Ages of Avatar: an Inhabited TV experiment providing an online space for the viewers of a TV channel (BT, 1999)
Ages of Avatar took a TV channel, Sky's [.tv], and gave its audience an online home: four virtual worlds filled with activities, events, and an unfolding narrative which could then provide content for interstituals on the TV channel. I ran the BT team doing the world design, building, and hosting of the worlds. This was a collaboration between BT's Shared Spaces team, the production company Illuminations, Sky's [.tv], students from ITP, and Microsoft's vworlds team.
|Heaven and Hell Live: an Inhabited TV experiment to produce live, nationally broadcast, TV from within an online virtual world (BT, 1998)
I ran the BT team for their second experiment into Inhabited TV, this time broadcasting a live TV show from an online virtual world. "Heaven and Hell - Live" was an hour long quiz show where the celebrity contestents needed the collaboration of the inhabitants of the virtual world to successfully complete each quiz round. The show attracted 150 online inhabitants and approximately 200,000 viewers. This was a collaboration between BT's Shared Spaces team, the production company Illuminations, Channel 4, and Sony's Community Place team.
|The Mirror: an Inhabited TV experiment combining each show in a TV series with an online shared 3D world (BT, 1997)
I was initially a developer and then the manager of BT's first experiment into Inhabited TV, which took the BBC series "The Net" and combined it with six virtual worlds, each adopting the theme of one programme in the series. The worlds were then offered to the viewers of the series, giving them the chance to become inhabitants, with their activities reflected back as news items in the TV shows. Over 1100 viewers took part over a seven week period. This was a collaboration between BT's Shared Spaces team, the production company Illuminations, the BBC's Multimedia Centre, and Sony's Community Place team.

text: When I think of writing or creating a story I seem to lean towards wanting to write about forlorn romances with a broader plot line. As a matter of fact in most of the general plots I have concocted in my head throughout the years was never complete without such type of relationship with the lead male character. I find myself drawn to said settings in stories and if backed by other aspects in the narrative that are well done I finish the text. (eventually) That being said I could not imagine any works I would ever do in the future to be at all good, or, rather, authentic, unless there is or was a romance that was not meant to be. It's a common theme in literature and I am not saying it is something I came up with or am the only one who likes it, but I wonder, why are so many people into such topics? In addition, I like plots of young love rather than a more mature love. I say this mostly because it is more believable for the youth to think of love and happiness with another so absolutely than say an adult because the reality of love is not bliss. I like the make believe world of love and what love is in literature, it's so innocent and warm. Has anyone seen 5 centimeters per second? That's a plot that I connect with very easily and feel is an authentic representation of how youthful love dies and so does an aspect of innocence. But there is more to those sorts of plots that overarches the message of the love story as a whole, and that is the anguish of living without that idea of love for the rest of ons life. I would compare this with Plato's dialogue of the man escaping from the cave of darkness and using reason and logic and this forever unable to live in his previous world whether they like to go back or not. Of course this is growing up to "T" but I think some grow up and go on easier than others in certain areas in their life than others. I have a hard time finding these ye of people, or, at least, finding those willing to talk about it. I guess, in a way, that is why I am attracted to the said genre of stories as stated above. Finding those who either don't want to talk about how they feel or never felt or feel said feelings leads me to go and dream those stories or read them. This type of plot arch can be used in literally hundreds if not thousands of settings and coupled with a good narrative could be very successful. (Look at Murakami, he's been writing about the same spaghetti recipe for 30 years.) This leads me to ask this question, do we escape into the literature we are attracted to or create the worlds we do in our heads because the world we live in does not give us the release of whatever emotion or closure we need in aspects of our lives that we lost in our youth? It is said by the age of 30 that A. half your life has passed (the way our brains perceive time) and B. the most poignant memories we will ever have in our lives (14-30) are forever slated in our minds. With this, whatever we lacked or will lack and are unable to fill is transposed in our reading tastes. Maybe I am reading into reading (mo pun intended) too an extreme and maybe it's all just random or a culmination of both or various other things, but I wonder, are we really salves to our past and lack to power to change it that we fantasize of worlds in which someone can relate with you that you can not find in the real world? If so then if it is bled into our reading tastes how muddled has it made other aspects of our lives that we are or are not aware of? It truly is amazing how one instance in your life can really form and heavily dictate you you became and are today. Nature nurture etc. yes and of course our facticity does not define who we are as Sartre once so bluntly stated, but we DO do it, even he did, his conscience being shaped by WWII. If I may, as Nino Rota once so elegantly penned, What Is A Youth? Indeed, what is a youth? Is youth really so paramount in our identity that we are slaves to it for the rest of our lives or is it something that can be so simply as to, "let go?" Some would say either or or both but I question as to what "let go" actually means. Is let go to meaning completely forgetting, or remembering but not let it be part of your life? I think both are impossible to do leu of a TBI. (Although I would question the validly of the claim of it being completely forgotten on metaphysical grounds but that is for another day.) With that, ones facility is part of who they are and helps to define who they are as a person. I argue that Sartre is incorrect that ones facticity does not define them, or, rather, I argue that one's facticity has at least SOMETHING to do with how they are defined and thus their identity. So, notions or phrases that have meanings around the like as "forget and move on" are juvenile and naive because one never can or is able to forget although they are still able to move on, in many various meanings and forms for that matter. The questions is then posed again, all be it phrased differently, what does it mean to "move on?" One could say that by simply living one is moving on even if the past completely and utterly consumes their life to a point of paralysis. Another viewpoint is indeed living a life filled with new experiences that relate, couple or even surpass past experiences but still hold on to the past as a footnote at least in their lives. I argue that that many in life are taking part in the two (there could be more for sure and thus added rightly into this assertion) by the very proof of their reading habits for one example. (Again if one is to believe that reading habits are based on a need to satiate a lack brought about a past occurrence that is unable to be addressed in the world of reality.) One is living their lives both with moving on in a experiential sense and thus making new memories and growing as society deems proper social growth but, at the same time being locked in this complacent state, until the lack is taken care of in real life (again easier said then done), being thus chained to their very past. With this I will say that I personally feel like the stories that role through my head either self created or read blur to a point were my past is brought into question and I thus make up stories of future happenstances. I question if this is a rational thing (probably not) or typical of most people. (Like thinking of what you would do if some crazed gunman came into a building you were in, yeah that's wright we all think about it.) With this, again, I will say that personally I will admit I am a slave to my past and I think most of my life decisions have been based on a few moments that have passed in my youth, and I find that quite astounding to say the least, if not baffling, or perhaps, sad.

@Work: Shelia Ramos
Owner of Artist Hub of Ocala since 2004
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 9:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 9:51 p.m.
Why she started the business: "I worked at the College of Central Florida for 10 years and I was the coordinator for recreation and leisure and later the coordinator for art and cultural programs. I also worked with the Brick City Center for the Arts and I got to meet many local artists and I decided that kids needed a shake at this. I just saw that there was a needs for kids to have art, especially in the summer, and I thought it could be a niche for our community."
@Work Profil
Why she doesn't have a storefront: "In 2004 I had a building off Magnolia Avenue, until 2007, but it was a very big space at 3,654 feet and it was just a pain to clean. Plus, I found out it was way better to be a mobile business. Before, I had to wait for people to come to me, but now I can go to them and be available for schools or homeschool groups—I want everybody to have a try at art."
What she teaches: "If a child can sit here and paint, then (adults) will be inspired to draw. I show the kids all the shapes that make up a picture, circles, triangles and squares—by getting them used to seeing shapes, then they will continue to see them and keep drawing and will be more inclined to do something that is a bit harder. We teach kids watercolors, acrylics, pen and ink, colored pencils, polymer clay, pottery, oil pastels for adults, and bean and sand art, stamps and print making for 2-year-olds."
What the clientele looks like: "I have two sides of my business, art and focusing on fitness and promoting health for all ages. I'm a jack-of-all trades and I also schedule classes for yoga, meditation and exercise at places such as offices, nursing homes and The Cherished Bride. In the past I have worked (with art or fitness) with Prestige 55, Montessori Preparatory School, Hobby Lobby, Brick City Center for the Arts, Marion County Cultural Alliance, Boys and Girls Club of Marion County, and for birthday parties, wedding showers and art parties."
Best part about the job: "I love meeting different people, especially seniors, and listening to all their stories. I love just finding out what is going on, how people live, and to see how other people do things and why they do it. I love working with kids because they get so excited about what they do. That is why art is needed for children and adults, because it is such a good, creative outlet."
What people don't know: "People think that art is crafts, but we like to focus on fine art with a twist. I want to teach them Cezanne and van Gogh, but by using pentangles to keep a child's attention to the works of artists from the past. When I was a kid I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout and we always did art projects. Then I started doing ceramics, pottery and stained glass and it opened up the door for me to try different art techniques, and it made me more curious to try it as an adult. I just liked it because it was simply fun and a way of making and doing whatever I wanted."

Today the United States is recognized as a leader in mobile technology, including commercial deployments of LTE and development of mobile operating systems. This leadership depends on our continuing to make additional spectrum available for licensed mobile broadband and unlicensed uses, particularly as other countries are also focused on making additional broadband spectrum available.
Today we are releasing a white paper that compiles information on the status of licensed and unlicensed spectrum resources in the United States and selected countries around the globe, which also realize the importance of additional mobile broadband spectrum, and are taking steps to make more available. The countries selected for this analysis were based in part on data availability. Future updates of the paper may include additional countries. Fueled by the skyrocketing demand for mobile data services, there has been a lot of interest in understanding what spectrum is available for mobile broadband networks around the world, and how the situation in the United States compares to other countries. While much information about global spectrum resources is publicly available, getting a complete grasp of the spectrum availability picture around the globe can be daunting. Various conditions and unique issues often arise regarding different frequency bands in individual countries: for example, frequencies may be available, but only for use in certain geographic areas; or there may be restrictions on spectrum use. In addition, different sources may use different definitions, so a frequency band might be considered "currently available" according to one source but not another, resulting in different bottom lines.
The purpose of this paper is to make spectrum data more accessible. It provides such information as the total amount of mobile broadband spectrum currently available or in the pipeline in various countries. The paper also breaks down the numbers and provides specific information for each frequency band, including any particular factors or assumptions being taken into account in our assessment of how much spectrum is available. In providing granular information, we intend to provide a public forum for discussing and sharing spectrum data, thereby promoting transparency and a better understanding of global spectrum availability.
As the paper shows, the United States is utilizing a variety of approaches to respond to the mobile broadband spectrum challenge. Through these steps, the Commission is on track to exceed its target of making an additional 300 megahertz of spectrum available for mobile broadband by 2015. To date, the U.S. has made available approximately 608 megahertz of licensed spectrum under 2.7 GHz for mobile broadband services.
Within the past 6 months, the Commission acted to free 40 megahertz of spectrum in AWS-4 and 20 megahertz in WCS for mobile broadband. An additional 55 megahertz of licensed spectrum is in the pipeline within the next three years. In addition, efforts are already underway that could free up significantly more spectrum, including forthcoming incentive auctions of broadcast television spectrum. The U.S. also has made spectrum available for mobile broadband on a non-exclusive basis. Over 700 megahertz of unlicensed spectrum suitable for wireless broadband is currently available at or below the 5 GHz region of the spectrum, with the Commission most recently freeing up additional unlicensed spectrum through the use of dynamic sharing. And just last week, the Commission initiated action to make available up to 195 megahertz of unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum that is suitable for "gigabit" Wi-Fi.
The paper also notes that the spectrum bands commonly used for licensed mobile broadband services around the world generally are based on "standard" bands used in the United States or Europe. These standard bands form spectrum building blocks that many countries mix and match to meet mobile broadband needs.
We hope that policy makers, mobile broadband providers, equipment manufacturers, and consumers will find this paper useful as a vehicle for sharing spectrum data and discussing spectrum issues. We encourage feedback – including any updates or corrections, or data regarding spectrum availability in additional countries – that can help improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of this paper. Given the complexities of spectrum in the U.S. and other countries, and in light of the dynamic and rapidly changing nature of the wireless landscape, we intend to update this paper periodically. Please submit any comments to our dedicated email address, email@example.com.

Legit Hot RodsWritten by David Freiburger on October 24, 2011
Legit. You want to know what real hot rods look like? Well, these are them. In today's craze for era-correctness and pure '50s and '60s details, it's interesting to look back and see how it really was, unfiltered by foggy nostalgia or selective memory—mostly because there are few disappointments. The stuff was truly cool, as you'll see in this collection of the best archival photos of hot rods as they've appeared in the pages of Hot Rod Deluxe. These are the true hot rods—all roadsters, sedans, and coupes—unfettered by loose interpretations of the term.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This was the scene at the Thrifty Drug store at the corner of Vermont and Barnsdall in Hollywood in May 1955. Check out the Carson top on the '34 phaeton with the dual-quad Cad for power.While you can't see the car well, we love that this is Craig Breedlove with his earliest land speed racing project, a '34 Ford that he reportedly got when he was 13 years old. At Bonneville in 1959, it was running a blown, four-pot flathead.We're uncertain of the exact identity of these car owners. The photo ran in the Aug. '54 issue of HOT ROD in a story about drag racing rules, and it appears to have been shot by Eric Rickman during the first-ever Drag Safari that year.Here's an iconic neighborhood scene from February 1960, somewhere in Southern California. This is one of those random, unidentified photos on a roll of other coverage by Eric Rickman. But it's a '32 Vickie with a Hemi, and that's good enough for us.This one's a racer. It's Don Cummins' 193-mph ride powered by a 389ci Chrysler. It was shot in January 1959 and featured in the June '59 HRM. Cummins is a legendary Bonneville figure, and his son Don Jr. is currently involved with the world's fastest roadster, which broke 300 mph in 2010.This is from a December 1959 show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Greg Sharp identified the heavily channeled '29 as belonging to Pete Morrow of the San Diego Prowlers. It appeared in the Dec. '59 HOT ROD with white wire wheels.We printed this photo in the Jan. '11 HOT ROD Deluxe, but the photo was flopped backward. Here's the correct view of a rare '31 cabriolet on a full-fendered '32 chassis and powered by an Olds. The location is San Fernando Drag Strip in 1959.This 1955 photo is of a mystery car; we can only tell you that the film handed in by Eric Rickman was marked "Lampert roadster." It's a T roadster pickup with a '32 grille. We love absorbing all the details of these cars even when we don't know their histories.Here's a famous one: the so-called Ricky Nelson roadster as seen in TV's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. It was initially constructed by Ray De Fillipi but is better known in the hands of Tony La Masa, who is seen here with his signature cigar. He owned the screaming green, channeled '32 when it appeared in an inset on the cover of the Aug. '60 HRM. It has since changed hands many times and still exists as it was back then.
This is Gray Baskerville's '32 roadster, famed for having been driven nearly every day by the legendary longtime Rod & Custom and HOT ROD staffer. The car was built by Gray's friend Paul Horning in Pasadena, California, in the mid-'50s (when we asked for a specific year, Gray long ago replied, "I dunno, call the Pasadena police and see when Paul got his first ticket."). After having been a drag car, it became a streeter. Gray bought it for $500 after Paul was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1966. After Gray's passing, the car was purchased by Jim Shelton.

Hello forum,
I did a small modification yesterday on the config of my Zimbra OSE 8.0.3 (CentOS 6.4 64Bits) by changing the value of POP3 throtling to be:
zmlocalconfig -e pop3_throttle_acct_limit = 2000
zmlocalconfig -e pop3_throttle_ip_limit = 2000
After that, i received some calls from end users to informe me that they cannot access their mail, the mail client ask for the password and using the webmail mail they got a 'Network error was occured'. I tried to access the WebAdmin Console but i was not able to do it because i got a blue web page instezd (see attachment).
I tried also to upgrade to the version 8.0.4 but the upgrade fail just after removing the old version.
I did a reinstallation and restoration of the backup that i made, but after every new installation i access the WebAdmin console, but just after the restoration of the /opt/zimbra from the backup, il restart the services, tried to access the GUI, i got the same error.
Attached the logs that i collected.
Do you have an idea bout the problem?
I'm working on that since 18 hours now, i'm discouraged and i'm thinking about give up the data and do a fresh installation, reconfigure and recrate users. I want just to ask if is there any way to restore my /opt/zimbra/store folder to inject it and use it into my new installation.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.

Diesel prices are up for first time in last six weeks, says EIA
June 07, 2011
Following a cumulative 11.3 cent decline over the last two weeks, diesel prices were up this week, rising 1.4 cents to $3.94 per gallon, according to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
This increase represents the first time prices rose in five weeks. Prices have dipped 18.4 cents collectively since hitting $4.124 per gallon the week of May 2.
As previously reported in LM, even with the recent decline of diesel prices, shippers and carriers remain concerned about the price of diesel and oil. While many have indicated that prices at current levels are still digestible, they cautioned that could quickly change depending on how quickly prices rise with summer driving season officially here.
In terms of how these prices can impact supply chain and logistics operations at a time when freight volumes are showing slow but consistent growth, many shippers have expressed concern about the pace of these diesel increases should they resume weekly increases, explaining that higher diesel prices have the potential to hinder growth and increase operating costs, which will, in turn, force them to raise rates and offset the increased prices to consumers.
And while the current situation may not be as dire as it was during the summer of 2008, when prices hit nearly $5 per gallon and $150 per barrel, shippers are bracing for prolonged pain at the pump, according to the results of a recent Logistics Management reader survey of roughly 250 logistics, supply chain, and transportation executives.
The survey revealed that 25 percent felt average fuel surcharges were more than 20 percent above base rates and another 19 percent say average fuel surcharges were 11-15 percent above base rates. 18 percent said average fuel surcharges were in the 16-20 percent range above base rates, with 16 percent of respondents at 6-10 percent and 13 percent saying average fuel surcharges were 1-5 percent above base rates. Another 8 percent said they were unsure of how much their average fuel surcharge was above base rates.
And while diesel is down, the price per barrel of oil is currently trading at $98.37 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, according to media reports. This is its lowest level since May 23, "as recent lackluster economic data reignited jitters about global energy appetites," stated a MarketWatch report.

I tried this and it was a huge hit. It doesn't look great but wow it tastes awsome. I recommend the Trader Joes enchilada sauce
Melinda , Vallejo, CA
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

Wow, we loved it!
Sharon , Little Rock, AR
Loved the recipe-it was easy. I used green mild enchilada sauce and a little less than called for. Can't wait for left-overs
, Waterford, CA
This is also a great crock-pot meal! You can cook it on low for about 4 hours. It is also yummy with chicken.
Anonymous, Upton, KY
Loved it!! The first time I made this, it was quite mushy and runny...was more like soup than casserole. The second time I made it, however, I oven-toasted the tortillas and made sure to remove as much water from the veggies that I could (especially the zucchini). Of course, as others have commented, using less enchilada sauce helps, too. I also waited about 10 minutes after removing the dish from the oven to cut into it, and though it was soft, it definitely held its shape when cutting and didn't run all over the plate. Leftovers are wonderful for lunch the next day!!

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer The Wildcats traveled to Sutherland last Thursday looking to keep their record unblemished. They wasted no time attacking the task at hand as they jumped to a quick lead. John Marquardt got things rolling when he put back a rebound for Wallace's first points. Taylor Doell and Landon Swedberg then put up six points apiece and as the quarter was coming to an end, Josh Grauerholz added a couple of free throws. The Wildcats had a 16-5 lead by the time the first quarter came to an end. Sutherland made some adjustments in the second quarter which helped them offensively and the changes slowed the Wildcats down a bit. Grauerholz made some adjustments of his own as he had to deal with 6-foot-5 Calvin Cartson. Grauerholz was able to get position on Cartston for some rebound put backs and after a couple of blocked shots, he got some good looks at the basket. Doell continued to find ways to score and as the half was coming to an end, Marquardt came up with a steal which he turned into points before the buzzer. The teams went to the locker room with Wallace leading 27 -14. The pace of the game picked up in the second half and the score changed more frequently as the game progressed. The Wildcats had a variety of players who contributed to the teams scoring with some great assist and great offensive plays. Marquardt and Doell had the hot shooting hands as they each drained a couple treys in addition to the points they got from driving the ball. Shane Anders contributed seven second half points, Swedberg added six, Grauerholz four and Jose Arvizo had two. Wallace defeated Sutherland by a score of 65–40. The game may not have been as sharp as the previous games but the Wildcats still did a lot of positive things. Taylor Doell once again lead the way in scoring with 18 points. John Marquardt scored 14 and Swedberg had 12. Grauerholz and Swedberg each pulled down seven rebounds and Marquardt had six. Defensively, Swedberg came up with six steals and Grauerholz three. Swedberg had five assists and Jose Arvizo had three. Next Action Wallace will have had a challenging game Tuesday evening hosting Medicine Valley in a conference battle.

FitzGerald will walk in the parade, but will not hold a speaking event. The parade will be his only public appearance while he is in Cincinnati.
"He knows it's a great celebration for the 4th of July and he enjoys the Cincinnati area," campaign press secretary Lauren Hitt says. "He's excited to get out and see some folks there."
The Cuyahoga County executive and democratic nominee will face incumbent Republican Gov. John Kasich this November. FitzGerald recently signed on for five debates — Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Sandusky and Zanesville — against Kasich.
This past weekend FitzGerald walked in the Columbus Pride Parade, in line with his support of same-sex marriage.
Last year, Gabrielle Gifford's appeared in Northside's annual community parade and held a rally on gun control before the parade.
Member of parade committee Ollie Kroner said the parade organizers typically invite city politicians, but FitzGerald reached out to the parade.
"I just think the parade has a reputation beyond our side and beyond the city," Kroner says. "When politicians want to come and get a taste for local flair the parade is a great venue for that."
The parade will take place at noon on July 4 and travel south on Hamilton Avenue through the Northside business district. It is part of the three-day Northside Rock n' Roll Carnival.
Kasich has proposed to cut income tax 8.5 percent across the board by 2016, which would help drive Ohio's top tax rate below 5 percent. The governor claims single mothers making $30,000 would save an extra few hundred dollars on taxes every year as part of his proposed tax cut, a claim Neuhardt called "despicable and wrong."
During the press conference, Neuhardt said Kasich is using the plight of single mothers to propagate a tax cut that would disproportionately benefit Ohio's upper echelon.
"I want to really emphasize pay equality is always an important issue," Neuhardt said.
doesn't have a plan to square the $11,600 pay disparity between genders in 2012
that she cites, but she did say that her administration would need to reverse
everything Kasich's administration has done in order to get Ohio's economy
moving forward, should she and her running mate, gubernatorial candidate Ed
Fitzgerald, win office in November.
"We need Ohio's working class to have money in their pocket," Neuhardt said.
Kasich's previous budget took the first steps toward pushing the state's top tax rate below 5 percent by lowering income tax across the board and raising sales tax, a combination that disproportionately favors the wealthy. CityBeat covered that plan here and Kasich's early 2013 budget proposals here and here.
Council members P.G. Sittenfield and Yvette Simpson spoke about pay disparity before Neurhardt took the podium on Tuesday.
Simpson stated women on average are earning 27 percent less than men in Ohio and Latin American women are earning 57 percent less.
"In the year 2014, that's unacceptable," Simpson said.
She also stated that Cincinnati has a 50-percent single mother rate and that 53 percent of children are living in poverty.
Sittenfield said the way toward eliminating pay disparity is through "meaningful reforms," not tax cuts.
"Wage equality is not just a women's issue — it's a family issue and it's an Ohio issue," Sittenfield said.
Kasich proposed the cuts as part of a mid-biennium review intended to lay out administrative goals for next year.
Mayor John Cranley yesterday announced a plan to add another recruit class to the Cincinnati Fire Department and effectively eliminate brownouts, but it remains unclear how the class will be paid for in the long-term. The Fire Department applied for a federal grant that would cover the costs for two years, but the city would need to pay for the new firefighters' salaries after that. To some City Council members, the proposal, along with other plans to add more police recruits and fund a jobs program for the long-term unemployed, raises questions about what will get cut in the budget to pay for the new costs.
Gov. John Kasich's administration has led an aggressive effort to shut down abortion clinics around the state, and a clinic in Sharonville, Ohio, could be the next to close after the administration denied a request that would have allowed the clinic to stay open without an emergency patient transfer agreement. The process has apparently involved high-ranking officials in the Ohio Department of Health, which one regulator says is unusual. The threat to the Sharonville clinic follows the passage of several new anti-abortion regulations through the latest state budget, but state officials say the new regulations were unnecessary to deny the Sharonville clinic's request to stay open.
Unions broadly support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald's campaign, but at least one union-funded group, Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT) Ohio, seems to be throwing its weight behind Kasich, a Republican. The surprising revelation shows not every union group has kept a grudge against Kasich and other Republicans after they tried to limit public employees' collective bargaining rights through Senate Bill 5 in 2011. ACT Ohio says its support for Kasich is related to jobs, particularly Kasich's support for infrastructure projects. The jobs market actually stagnated after Kasich took office, which some political scientists say could cost Kasich his re-election bid even though economists say the governor isn't to blame.
Talk of tolls continues threatening the $2.65 billion Brent Spence Bridge project as opposition from Northern Kentuckians remains strong. Ohio and Kentucky officials insist tolls are necessary to replace the supposedly dangerous bridge because the federal government doesn't seem willing to pick up the tab.

The Ohio Rights Group could get medical marijuana legalization on the ballot this November, but the group first must gather enough petition signatures. Although the campaign has medical research and polling in its favor, it's also struggled to raise a significant amount of cash to support a statewide campaign. At the same time, many entrepreneurs see the legalization of medical marijuana as inevitable; over the past weekend, Comfy Tree Cannabis Collective held a seminar to advise potential businesses on the inner workings of selling legalized marijuana.

Hamilton County Commissioner Chris Monzel says the county is willing to go to court to fight Cincinnati's "responsible bidder" rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. The county says the rules are illegal, burden businesses and favor unions. But city officials, particularly Councilman Chris Seelbach, says the rules help train workers and create local jobs. The rules impose stricter job training requirements on MSD contractors and require them to fund pre-apprenticeship programs that would help train new workers in different crafts.

Mayor John Cranley, Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffery Blackwell and several other local leaders expect to announce a $1 million plan to add more cops, including a new recruit class, to help fight a local rise in homicides and violent crime. Besides the additional officers, the plan will also restart a unit focused on gangs and put more emphasis on "hot spots" of potential crime. The announcement follows a rough start to the year that's already experienced higher-than-normal levels of violence. CityBeat will cover the announcement in further detail as the news breaks.
A bill in the Ohio legislature could enable more clean needle exchanges. The bill wouldn't supply state or federal funding, but it would let any local health authority establish a syringe-exchange program without declaring a health emergency. Although some conservatives take issue with providing needles to drug users, officials say the program in Portsmouth, Ohio, cut countywide hepatitis C rates, nearly eliminated the number of needles found in parks and on sidewalks, and provided addicts a legally safe resource for help. CityBeat previously covered attempts to establish a local needle-exchange program in further detail here.
Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune on Friday officially dropped his long-shot bid for governor. Although Portune received a lot of attention from local media, he never mounted a credible campaign and drew harsh criticisms from fellow Democrats, who accused Portune of complicating Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald's campaign against Republican Gov. John Kasich.

Mayor John Cranley yesterday offered free space to the Hamilton County Board of Elections at the city-owned Shillito's building to keep the board's offices and early voting downtown. The idea comes in the middle of a debate between Democrats and Republicans on the Board of Elections over whether they should move their offices — and early voting — to a Mount Airy facility, where only one bus line runs, to consolidate county services and avoid the cost of rent. Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann said there won't be enough occupancy at the Mount Airy location if the Board of Elections decides not to move there. For the county, a certain amount of occupancy must be filled at Mount Airy to financially justify the move and the renovations it would require. Without the move, the county will need to find another location or means to build a new county crime lab.
Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune yesterday refused to announce whether he will actually run against gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, even though he told The Cincinnati Enquirer the day before that he already made a decision. At this point, Portune's lack of organization and name recognition means his chances of beating FitzGerald are slim to none.
Ohio's December unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent from 7.4 percent the month before. The amount of employed and unemployed both increased compared to the previous year.

An anti-gentrification organization says development in southern Over-the-Rhine and downtown is leaving out low- and middle-income residents. The People's Coalition for Equality and Justice (TPCEJ) cautions it's not against development, but it supports policies that would seek to help more people take advantage of the revitalization of Over-the-Rhine and downtown, such as more affordable housing, protections for renters' rights, rent control and the formation of tenants' unions. The agency behind much of the development in Over-the-Rhine and downtown, 3CDC (Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation), says "people tend to over-romanticize what this neighborhood was" and points to some examples of 3CDC-developed affordable housing as evidence the agency is trying to keep the neighborhood mixed-income.Related: Some studies found gentrification could benefit longtime residents.
A two-hour streetcar pass could cost $1.75, and a 24-hour pass could cost $3.50, according to a new model unveiled yesterday by Paul Grether, Metro's rail manager. The same model set streetcar operating hours at Sunday-Thursday 6 a.m.-10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 6 a.m.-midnight. Under the model, city officials expect 3,000 daily boardings, but Grether cautioned that's a very conservative estimate and excludes special events, such as Reds and Bengals games.But the City Council-enforced streetcar delay could cost more than expected after the steel company originally contracted for the $132.8 million project took another job while council members decided the fate of the project. Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick told council the company's decision could push construction of a maintenance facility by two months if the city doesn't hire a steel supplier from outside the region.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald yesterday clarified he supports the death penalty, which aligns him with his Republican opponent, incumbent John Kasich, on the issue. FitzGerald's remark comes after the debate over the death penalty re-ignited in Ohio following the execution of convicted killer and rapist Dennis McGuire, who took 26 minutes to die after state officials used a new cocktail of drugs never tried before in the United States. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction told CityBeat it's reviewing McGuire's death, as it does following every execution.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald on Wednesday told reporters he supports the death penalty — a position that aligns him with his Republican opponent, Gov. John Kasich.
The debate over the death penalty recently re-ignited in Ohio after state officials took 26 minutes to kill Dennis McGuire, a convicted killer and rapist, with a cocktail of drugs never tried before in the United States. It remains unclear if the drugs prolonged McGuire's death or if other factors are to blame.
Asked whether the state should place a moratorium on the death penalty in response to the botched execution, FitzGerald said state officials should investigate McGuire's execution.
"I think they have to go through a very thorough and exhaustive review of how that unfolded and if it can be done in a way that meets the commonly accepted standards," he responded.
FitzGerald said he based his support for the death penalty on his experiences as a special agent for the FBI and assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor.
"I understand there's … legitimate moral concerns about it, and I respect people that have a different opinion on that," he said.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio on Sunday called on Kasich to halt the death penalty following McGuire's prolonged execution.
McGuire's family also announced on Friday it would file a lawsuit claiming McGuire's death constituted "cruel and unusual punishment."
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction plans to carry out five more executions in 2014. It remains unclear if the agency will use the same cocktail of drugs used to kill McGuire.
FitzGerald's comments, courtesy of Capital Blog:
Fiscal conservatives and tea party activists won more
seats on local school boards last year, putting them in the awkward
position of supposedly looking out for the school's best interests while
rejecting property tax levies that could boost schools' resources and outcomes. As one example, a member of the Coalition
Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) now sits on the board for Kings Schools in Warren County that she once sued for public records.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio on Sunday called on Gov. John Kasich to immediately halt the death penalty across the state, following the botched, 26-minute execution of convicted killer Dennis McGuire. The execution, the longest since Ohio restarted using capital punishment again in 1999, utilized a new cocktail of drugs that had never been tried before in the United States. It's unclear whether state officials will use the same drugs for the five other executions planned for the year.
David Pepper, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, says Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine should stop defending court-rejected, unconstitutional voting and ballot restrictions. DeWine argues that it's the attorney general's job to defend Ohio and its laws, regardless of his opinion on constitutionality. But DeWine actually stepped aside and assigned a separate attorney to a case involving restrictions on "false statements" in political campaigns because, according to him, the law's constitutionality is questionable.
Martin Luther King Jr. and modern Republicans would likely stand in opposition on numerous issues, including voting rights, the death penalty and reproductive rights.
A top policy aide for Gov. Kasich says local governments should share more services. But some municipal officials argue the Kasich administration is just trying to deflect criticisms regarding local government funding cuts carried out by his Republican administration and the Republican-controlled legislature over the past few years.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald on Friday announced his new running mate: Sharen Neuhardt, a Dayton-area business attorney and twice-failed candidate for Congress. The choice boosts the ticket's credentials with women and abortion-rights advocates, but it also reinforces support for pro-choice policies that upset many Republicans and conservatives. FitzGerald originally picked State Sen. Eric Kearney as his running mate, but Kearney dropped out of the race after multiple media reports uncovered he owed more than $800,000 in tax debt. CityBeat covered the gubernatorial race and how the economy could play into it in further detail here.
Mayor John Cranley on Friday reiterated his opposition to double dipping, even though he supports hiring an assistant city
manager who will take advantage of the practice. Because Bill Moller is a
city retiree, he will be eligible to double dip — simultaneously take a
salary ($147,000 a year) and pension — when the city hires him in
February. Cranley called the practice "abusive" on the campaign trail,
but he says it's up to City Council to pass legislation that prevents it.
Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter on Friday pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges, including accusations of backdating court documents, theft in office and misusing her county credit card.

Silva embodies the spirit of rebellious individualism better than Bond
THERE'S A SCENE in Skyfall (don't worry, this is not about to be a plot spoiler) where a bunch of guys in a helicopter are approaching an isolated farmhouse. The helicopter has been fitted with loudspeakers, which are blasting this song: "Boom, boom, boom, boom. Gonna shoot you right down". The song was written and recorded in 1961 by the Mississippi bluesman John Lee Hooker, but instead of Hooker's version, the helicopter is playing a version recorded in 1964 by Eric Burdon and The Animals.
Why wouldn't the filmmakers have used the original? Because The Animals are British (Eric was born in Newcastle upon Tyne) and Skyfall is, above all else, a promotional vehicle for everything Britanic. When you see the film, you readily understand why Queen Elizabeth agreed to promote it by doing her own skyfall into the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
James Bond would be sent to terminate Jason Bourne when the CIA tells MI6 he's gone rogue
Skyfall has two messages: 1 British is best; and 2 Trust your secret services, because they know what you need. It's precisely the opposite of the message in the Jason Bourne movies: follow your conscience and choose your friends carefully, because your government is lying to you.
Katniss is the individual in a conformist crowd
James Bond is powered by patriotism – unquestioning adherence to anything his bosses deem necessary to protect the realm. James may be a naughty boy, but in the end, he does what mummy wants. At the heart of the movie is authoritarianism. Jason Bourne is powered by paranoia – deep suspicion that his bosses are torturing and killing their own citizens to conceal their overzealous incompetence. Bourne (and his colleague Aaron Cross) was trained to follow orders, but now he just wants to be left alone. At the heart of the series is individualism.
If they existed in the same universe, James Bond would be sent to terminate Jason Bourne when the CIA tells MI6 he's gone rogue.
The Bourne Legacy made $13 million at the Australian box office this year – a third of what Skyfall is expected to make. That might suggest audiences are more impressed by the authoritarian argument than by the individualist argument. But if you look at the most successful films of 2012, you find that Bond is the odd one out: 1 The Avengers $53 million; 2 The Dark Knight Rises $43m; 3 Skyfall likely to make $39m; 4 Ted $35m; 5 The Hunger Games $31m.
Nobody tells Bruce Banner what to do
Bourne's legacy is more powerful than Bond's, it turns out. Four of the top five flicks celebrate free spirits.
In The Hunger Games, a totalitarian government has decreed that districts which tried to assert their independence must be punished by sacrificing their children in gladiatorial contests. It's the same scenario as in the original Star Wars trilogy -- rebel planets resisting a suffocating central authority (Darth Vader was James Bond until he decided, at the last minute, to follow his conscience and question the authority of The Emperor). If Katniss Everdeen tried to organise resistance, the President would license a killer to stop her.
In the trilogy that culminated in The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne decides to become a lone vigilante because the authorities are cowardly or corrupted. He and Selina Kyle would be be the sort of troublemakers M would order Bond to kill, and Bond would not ask why.
In The Avengers, the bureaucrats of the World Security Council try unsuccessfully to control Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who in turn tries to control the assorted superheroes who reluctantly band together to protect the planet.
Joss Whedon, cowriter and director of The Avengers, emphasised the anarchism in outlining the plot: "It makes no sense, it's ridiculous. There's a Thunder God, there's a green Id giant rage monster, there's Captain America from the 40s, there's Tony Stark who definitely doesn't get along with anybody. Ultimately these people don't belong together and the whole movie is about finding yourself from community -- and finding that you not only belong together but you need each other, very much. Obviously this will be expressed through punching, but it will be the heart of the film."
James Bond could never join the Avengers. He'd keep waiting for his mummy to tell him who to shoot. Raoul Silva would be a much more suitable candidate.
