Older Adults: How to Avoid Falls at Home

Not as sure on your feet as you used to be? Or is your eyesight less clear?

Your Safe Zone
Clear the clutter. Get a friend or family member to help you clear your home's walkways of anything you can trip over. Phone cords, electric wires, pet bowls, and other things can get underfoot. Move it out of the way, or consider getting rid of it.
Light it up. As you get older, you need more light to see. Make sure light switches are in easy-to-reach places, and at the bottom and top of any stairs. Turn the lights on before you get up to move around. And always know where the flashlights are in case the power goes out.
Hold the rails. If you have stairways, put handrails on both sides of them and treads on each step. Make sure you hold onto a railing when you walk up or down the stairs, and go slowly. If you have your hands full, make sure you can see each step.
Cut the skids. Use self-adhesive, non-skid mats or safety treads in bathtubs, showers, and pools. Use non-skid rugs on bathroom floors and pads under rugs on bare floors.
Grab hold. Consider getting grab bars installed on both sides of toilets and bathtubs. Put handrails in the shower and wherever necessary.
Toss the throw rugs, or make sure they're secured with double-sided tape. Over half of all falls happen at home. This simple fix can help you keep you safe.
Move it where you use it. Keep items you use often -- food, cans, dishes, clothes -- where you can reach them. This way you won't have to climb on a stool.
Wear sturdy shoes inside and outside. The footwear helps with your balance. Avoid slippers or walking barefoot.
Once your home is a safe zone, you're likely to have less accidents. You can move around with more confidence and a renewed sense of independence. But talk to your doctor if you're having any trouble. She may refer you to an occupational therapist, who can come to your home and advise you on how to make more changes.

Expect Matt Todd to see plenty of action in the second half of Saturday's third test against France.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen was straight to the point this morning when assessing the approximate time he would be sending out some of the reserves - providing the game was going to plan.
With Sam Cane having well and truly cleared the lungs with two 80-minute performances in the first two tests, the Crusaders No 7 will make his test debut in New Plymouth.
''It may well seem strange but we've looked at Sam [Cane],'' Hansen said.
''He's had a big workload against a really physical pack and he'll have a big workload after that. By bringing Matt on to the bench it gives us an opportunity to give him a breather later in the game. And it's good for Matt, we'll find out a bit more about him at this level.''
Finding more out about this level was something Todd has been eagerly anticipating since he was brought in as injury cover for Sam Whitelock when the first All Blacks squad for 2013 was named.
While Whitelock's injured finger saw him turn out a week earlier than expected, Hansen and his selectors saw no sense in sending Todd back down south without giving him a small taste of test rugby, something that obviously delighted the player himself.
''It's a real buzz and I was stoked when I heard my name read out, it was a surprise,'' Todd said this morning.
Todd's inclusion will also stop the drums beating in Canterbury for his continued inclusion, for a short time at least.
''I'm sure there will be some happy people down there. As I've said, I'm stoked to be in the 23 and hopefully I can get on the paddock.''
The 25-year-old had been gathering as much information as he could get off Cane since the All Blacks first fronted France in Auckland, particularly around the tourists different style of attacking the breakdown.
''From watching them, and talking to our guys, they're obviously big boys who really put on emphasis on getting in there. That's obviously a real focus of theirs and they have been effective in that area. They do put a massive emphasis on it and the team in general has spoken about just how different it is from playing a New Zealand-type team. It's going to be a challenge.''
Urgency and getting to the breakdown was two-thirds of winning the the battle, according to Todd.
He said Hansen had not asked him to make any radical changes to his style of play, just on how important it was to stay strong over the ball, one of Todd's real strengths.
''First and foremost I have to get my head around the game plan because not being involved in the first two tests, I have a lot to catch up on.''

[Augustine] We're all familiar with the catchphrase "Fake it 'til you make it," but we likely overlooked its genesis as a ready method to stave off pessimism and fight depression. Things having both intended and unintended consequences when separated from their roots they tend to either wilt or take a new life of their own. What happened is that in our haste to distance ourselves from negativity, we have swung the pendulum all the way to the other side —positivism at all costs— without tallying its costs.

- My vintage (almost antique) Art Deco diamond and sapphire engagement ring is from Gesner Estate Jewelers. I've worn it for over two years and have yet to see one I love, or even like, better. It was not the most expensive ring in their collection, by far. However, the Old European-cut center diamond and the delicate platinum filigree setting, accented with seven square cut sapphires and 14 smaller round diamonds, make for an exquisite and unique piece. Their on-staff professional jeweler sized the ring up from a 6 to an 8.5, extending the carved "wheat" pattern down the shank, perfectly matching the original. The condition of the ring, described as "excellent," was right on the money. The personal service, directly from Mr. Gesner and his daughter via telephone and email, was superb. This company is one of impeccable integrity that inspired the highest degree of confidence in this buyer. They have my *unqualified* endorsement. - Patricia A. Gallagher Review by Patricia A. Gallagher (Posted on 9/21/2013)
To the entire Gesner team,
I want to extend a very sincere thank you for all that you have done on my behalf. My diamond and ruby eternity ring is exquisite, made even more so by Valerie and Sherrie's enthusiasm, above and beyond customer service, attention to detail and patience as I worked my way through the myriad of decisions. Your jeweler has achieved a masterful level of his art and it showed stunningly in his work. I thank you also for the thorough appraisal. Review by Valerie J. (Posted on 6/12/2012)
- I came across the Gesner website looking for antique engagement rings. Their online photos show the beautiful detail of the rings that are in-store. The ring that I purchased was exactly how it looked online. The staff was friendly and helpful. The jeweler did an amazing job sizing the ring. Thank you for the wonderful experience! Review by Amy M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Thank you for helping make my dreams come true! The ring is absolutely beautiful! It is more than I ever dreamed of or could ask for. I have never been so happy and I am so glad you had a part in making me so happy. I can't wait to come in and look at bands! Thank you again! Review by Rachael D. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Frank & Shanel, I received my ring last week and it is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love it. It is STUNNING. Thank you very much! Review by Lisa P. (Posted on 7/8/2014)
- My wife absolutely loves her ring! Review by Luke W. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
Thank you Gesner family for delivering a rare peace of mind and an approachable professionalism that is
hard to find anywhere. The Gesners' service and their one of a kind engagement ring proved to surpass all that everyone assured. By far the most pleasant transaction I have ever made...period. This review is more than an endorsement, it is a public service announcement to the next trembling bachelor trying to get the job done right when there is only one chance to do so. Review by Henry J. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Great customer service! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! Review by Mary S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Elaine, Ken, and Shanel were a superb help to me...in helping make such beautiful gifts for my fiance, mother and mother-in-law! I thank you very much and look forward to seeing you again. Review by George S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
Thanks again, Frank! You and your store are a dream to work with!

It was nice having fresh food and water in our hotel room so we weren't eating out every meal, a healthier (and more cost efficient) way to start our day. Thanks GardenGrocer!
Great service. Good variety. Will use again.

Seven candidates are hoping to be one of the people filling four seats on Harriman City Council.
Incumbents J.D. Sampson and Chase Tedder, as well as Buddy Holley, Luther Manning and Elvis Turpin, are hoping to fill one of three full terms.
Randy Ellis and incumbent Lonnie Wright are competing for the unexpired term of former Councilman Mark Powers.
A popular issue in Harriman is the historic city's appearance.
Ellis said if a building is falling down, the city should do all it can to fine and get it cleaned up without taking ownership.
If that fails, he recommends taking a lien on the property or taking it.
Both Ellis and Turpin said they believe the city needs to put teeth in its ordinances, so fines and other punishments would be more effective.
Holley said he knows the city sometimes has no choice but to condemn and take ownership of property to clean it.
When that happens, the city should do what it can to find a buyer quickly, he said.
Manning said getting the owners to take pride in their property is important.
The city should keep up enforcement, he said, but with an eye to the legality of the many issues surrounding cleanup.
Sampson said recent decisions to take some violators to a higher court might be the answer.
While it ends up costing money, the city has torn down a number of buildings in the last six years and will likely continue to do so, placing liens on the property.
"I think we need to keep up what we are doing," Tedder said of that cleanup effort.
"I think we have to get professional help," Wright said. That help could be in the form of an attorney to look at the many issues they have across town.
Turpin focused on cleaning up the downtown buildthat are in disrepair.
Cleaning up areas like the old papermill property is also an issue.
Ellis said the cleanup would be a big expense but the city needs to look into it, particularly if the property is a detriment.
Holley suggested seeking Superfund status, particularly if cleanup would be costly.
"Our old riverfront needs to be developed," Holley said. His suggestions include more recreational facilities and parks, which would not be affected by flooding.
Sampson said cleaning up the papermill property would likely mean the city would have to take it over.
A study indicated it would be cheaper to develop the property for a factory than for recreational use.
If it is used for recreation, he said, a boat ramp should be constructed.
"That is one thing we could do, but then we'd have to borrow money," Sampson said.
Tedder agreed the cost would be a factor, and it is an area where the city should probably continue pursuing grants and other funding avenues.
"I don't know if we should take it on ourselves," Tedder said. "I hope it will be worked on in the future."
Paving and other infrastructure needs also are on the minds of candidates.
"We need to see what we can do in the budget," Ellis said. He suggested looking at any potential TVA restitution for infrastructure.
A supporter of the Princess Theater project, he said he believes the city should not put "all our eggs in the theater basket."
Holley said he has confidence in the committee assigned to prioritize road projects, but he believes the city could do more to find funding.
"I think we need to go look at a lot more grants. I'm not sure we're pursuing them actively enough," Holley said.
"The city needs to focus its attention on its infrastructure," he said. "We have some beautiful buildings, historically and architecturally. It is a historical city, but it doesn't look so good right now."
Manning said paving is a priority.
"Unfortunately, the city won't have the money to do all the paving they need," Manning said.
Sampson said his concern is finding a way to pay for the projects without raising taxes.
Tedder likes putting paving decisions in the hands of residents.
"Citizen input is needed; they drive the roads every day," he said.
Turpin said he is concerned about paving and the condition of many sidewalks.
Wright was part of a committee that proposed five streets for paving.
"We'd like to accomplish this this summer," he said.
Encouraging business and industry is also important to residents. With an industrial park in the city near the Emory River, many believe the city has potential to grow industry it once had.
"We have to sell ourselves," Ellis said. "We need to get creative — maybe with an advertising campaign,"
Manning said the community's riverfront, railways and access to the interstate are assets that could be played up.
"It is a nice little town to be in," Manning said.
"I think we need a marketing person to go out. We need to have someone go out and try to recruit more stores to the Midtown area," Sampson said.
Some candidates were open to offering incentives.
"I know we can do certain tax incentives if the industrial board owns it," Ellis said.
"You have to give them something to help them get started," Holley agreed.
Tedder was supportive of the industrial board.
"An industrial board can do more stuff (to recruit)," Tedder said.
Downtown, with its many historical structures, is also important to residents. Many would like to see downtown return to its past glory.
Ellis believes the Princess will eventually be a draw.
"I think it is going to be a great asset," he said.
Ellis also said he believes the city needs to begin planning for when the hospital moves from downtown to Midtown.
Manning said buildings should be improved downtown, saying appearance is everything.
"I think we should promote small business owners to open up downtown," Turpin said.
Holley said the city should focus on businesses that draw people downtown.
"One thing that draws people into town is antique stores," he said. "There are niche markets and specialty stores that aren't competing with the big guys."
Creating parking downtown and using the Princess as an anchor is important to Sampson.
"If you can't pull right up to a restaurant or store, they don't want to go," Sampson said. He suggested clearing some areas for strip shops.
He also believed a downtown community center would draw people.
"It could be another Market Square; it is just going to take the time and money," Tedder said.
"We've got to try to bring some type of activity online that will, first of all, renew interest downtown among our own citizens," Wright said.
He believes the plans with the Princess and adjacent buildings will do that.
The buildings the city will get when Covenant leaves downtown are in good repair he said.
"I would like to see the existing Roane Medical Center be turned over and be occupied by the Veterans Administration," Wright said.
Harriman has asked for funds from TVA in the wake of the December 2008 fly ash spill, an incident that many feel has tarnished the image of the whole county.
While the resolution passed by council asked for funds for the Princess Theater, as well as funds to repair roads affected by heavy truck traffic, many candidates feel the money could be utilized elsewhere.

Fabre had many scholarly achievements. He was a popular teacher, physicist, chemist, and botanist. However, he is probably best known for his findings in the field of entomology, the study of insects, and is considered by many to be the father of modern entomology. Much of his enduring popularity is due to his marvelous teaching ability and his manner of writing about the lives of insects in biographical form.

FOURTEEN traveller caravans pulled up on land opposite the new Tesco.com centre in Erith have now moved across the road.
The caravans were moved on by the police but they are now in a car park next to the distrbution centre in Church Manorway just off Bronze Age Way.
A man who didn't want to be named who works near the site said: "The caravans started appearing on Thursday morning.
"There used to be a concrete boulder blocking off the site but that has gone and they have made a right mess of the road where all the caravans have pulled in.
"They have left a lot of rubbish in the car park, it looks like an eyesore."
A spokesman for Bexley Council said: "Approximately 11 caravans moved onto a site at Church Manorway, Erith yesterday with a further three joining them this morning.
"We have been liaising with the police and hope that this matter will be resolved shortly."

Harris leads Jazz past starless Spurs, 91-84
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — John Stockton and Greg Ostertag came to EnergySolutions Arena to watch a game Monday night.
The San Antonio Spurs' three stars — Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili — stayed back in the Alamo City.
And surprisingly, it took quite a while for the Utah Jazz to arrive, too.
Devin Harris led a comeback in the fourth quarter as the Jazz overcame an eight-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the starless Spurs 91-84 to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Harris entered the game midway through the fourth with the Jazz down eight, but he led Utah to a big turnaround and finished with 25 points with three 3-pointers.
Paul Millsap had a couple of big buckets late in the fourth quarter, including a huge putback slam. Gordon Hayward added 16 points, and Al Jefferson chipped in 12 points.
Tiago Splitter and Gary Neal each came off the bench to score a team-high 14 points for the gutsy Spurs.
Utah played without four guys. Earl Watson (knee) will require surgery for his torn meniscus, and C.J. Miles is out with a strained calf.
Jeremy Evans was also injured in this one, spraining his right ankle in the second half.
DeMarre Carroll, a night after scoring a career-high 16 points, was inserted into the Jazz's starting lineup in place of Miles. He was scoreless.
The Jazz, however, took 42 minutes to take advantage of that massive San Antonio roster void.

CloudBees, Inc., the Java Platform as a Service (PaaS) innovation leader, today announced that TeleStax, a supplier of solutions for telecommunications service providers and enterprises, has implemented the CloudBees Platform to facilitate and support development efforts for Mobicents, an open source telecommunications project.
TeleStax's carrier-grade solution, TelScale™, includes a suite of advanced management products built on Mobicents. To lead and maintain community development of Mobicents projects, TeleStax initially utilized an on-premise platform that was phased out. TeleStax then transitioned the project to the CloudBees PaaS to leverage the platform's advanced features. These advanced features include Jenkins continuous integration services to build and test code and ensure the project remains compliant with Java specifications.
"We had two choices – we could build the infrastructure ourselves or use a PaaS solution in the cloud," said Jean Deruelle, co-founder of TeleStax. "Using the CloudBees' Platform we were able to take advantage of an extremely reliable development infrastructure, with greatly reduced costs and low maintenance. With CloudBees' help, we were able to build a solution that's been widely accepted in the community and we have no hassles with having to maintain the infrastructure."
TeleStax's use of the CloudBees Platform has given the Mobicents project new collaboration capabilities for external contributors. For example, contributors previously weren't allowed access to run jobs. Now, external contributors can access the repository and the community can test updates they make to the code base before the updates go mainstream.
To date, the CloudBees Platform has already resulted in significant benefits for both TeleStax and Mobicents, including the following:
- Reduction in costs – TeleStax spent 75 percent less than it would have if it had to set up its own development infrastructure in the cloud
- Increased Efficiency – Turnaround time for bug fixes improved by 20 percent based on utilization of continuous integration with Jenkins in the cloud, on the CloudBees Platform
- Productivity – Project contributors can now concentrate 100 percent on development instead of maintaining IT infrastructure
- Support – CloudBees technical experts help to resolve any integration issues that arise
"We're proud to see how TeleStax has been able to streamline its development environment with the use of CloudBees' industry-leading Java PaaS platform," said Sacha Labourey, CEO and founder, CloudBees. "TeleStax can continue to build on its open source base while taking advantage of the reliability and cost benefits that are available in the cloud."

What can I say; I think I've found a new favourite director after a single film.
Buñuel has the same high regard for both his characters and audience alike. Like a cat with a mouse, he toys with them; tosses them up in the air, bats them about a while, then sits back and watches them wobble and stumble about; all the time his tail gingerly flicking. Just when you think you have your bearings; and escape into a lush field of meaning is within grasp; he pounces again.
I've read that Buñuel was an accomplished hypnotist in his youth, and that he believed that the movies were a form of hypnotism. I believe it; I'm still in a trance.
A winding, inescapable nightmare separated by emptiness. If this wasn't so harshly hilarious it would be impossible to take in, mainly because entitlement doesn't seem like a topic to showcase without a certain measure of levity. Its structure, beginning like an awkward play of misunderstandings, soon dissolves into a satirical depiction of grating realities, utilizing the energy of chaos as a contrast between the consistently still and contained imagery. Even the most surrealistic incident within this dreamlike series of events carries an unflinching eye, viewing all the strange and despicable behavior like a curious animal; wide-eyed and casually attentive.
Don't you hate it when restaurants run out of water?
When I first heard the title, I thought, "Finally! Someone's going to tell the truth about the bourgeoisie!" What a disappointment. It would be hard to imagine a less fair or, or accurate portrait.
Hard to quantify the cumulative satirical force this movie brings to bear, as it maintains the same level of genial drollery from start to finish. I always start out mildly amused, wind up gobsmacked...but it seems entirely possible that shuffling the scenes at random would have much the same effect. It's just a single pointed joke that gets funnier and funnier, abetted by a sextet of actors who refrain from any winking or nudging—Bulle Ogier in particular achieves maximum vacuity without calling attention to herself…
Another Buñuel and again I must rhyme;
Appropriate since it's much weirder this time.
Though unlike before where things start with the feast
In ...Charm it seems eating's like sex to a priest:
Forbidden, taboo, and declined against will
Though suffering fools keep attempting their fill.
A sextet of dilettantes (much like before)
Discuss what is proper, indulgent, and more.
But there where 'society' deemed what is right,
Cocaine/infidelity/murder's our plight.
A strange set of morals; I guess that's the key
To poke fun at people more, well, discreetly.
Their wealth and their social esteem's much less clear
And so is their odd way of showing good cheer.
Confounded by knocking at every turn,
That damned door's bad luck, yet…
Christopher Nolan eat your heart out, because The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie has an even wilder dream-in-dream-in-dream-in-dream construction than Inception. The entire film revolves around sextet of middle-class friend who attempt to dine together, but who are repeatedly interrupted by the most mildly absurd circumstances that are nevertheless nonchalantly accepted by each of them, spawning a bizarre pseudo-world that constantly fools the audience. Starting off as merely amusing, the joke of the unachievable dinner plans builds and builds and builds into something much larger that gets funnier with every twist and turn. The same formula applies to the 'side-stories', such as the one centred on the alleged deprivation of the fictitious Republic of Miranda of which one of the…
Holy bejeezus, what an odd film. I mean truly odd. Not in the Lynch way, though, but in some completely new way. Sometimes it plays out like a Monty Python skit. Sometimes it feels like French New Wave. Sometimes it feels like a laugh track is missing. Sometimes it comes this close to slapstick but without the pay-off. It is definitely satire, though, that much I can say with confidence. The film pokes fun at so many things it could be (and probably has been) the subject of many a PhD dissertation.
I honestly can't write a review of it, at least not without spending way too much time I don't have right now reading about it.
All I can say is it is truly odd, and compelling and engaging and I loved it. I really loved it.

Luis Brunel concocts a strange and alluring portrait of a group of bourgeois types, placing them in their familiar and comfortable setting of the dinner table for a nice civilised dinner party, before proceeding to repeatedly get in the way of the simple pleasure they seek to enjoy. It left me a bit baffled, but somewhere in between the revengeful bishop/gardener, the dreams-within-dreams-within-dreams, and repeated sequences of walking down a lonely country road, I got some sense of what Brunel's characters are. Though I am also thoroughly confused about the whole ordeal, which no doubt is entirely intentional. As an audience member you leave these characters just wishing that you could've reached the dessert - but Brunel decides just desserts are just as sweet.
Delightful anarchic satire on the self-regarding, classist, greedy bourgeois class, forever just looking for a catered meal but, here at least, forever thwarted by Bunuel's satirical ire.
I've been wanting to see this for a while and I finally decided to import the UK Blu Ray. This comedy of manners from the incomparable Luis Bunuel rivals his other brutal critique of the upper class, The Exterminating Angel. The brilliance here is that the characters never really realize that anything peculiar is going on. It brutally attacks the self absorption and general cruelty of high society, but does so with a smile on its face and with a mix of lightheartedness and dark surrealism that only Bunuel can pull off.
It's alright, I just don't think it's surreal enough.
The conceit of "a dinner that never happens" between six upper middle-class friends is given some hilarious results. Every attempt to dine is thwarted by events that are real and increasingly surreal. Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel takes a satirical jab at bourgeoisie foolery and he manages to reach maximum mayhem.
I just loved how absurdly random it all was. Drug-dealing ambassador Don Rafael (Fernando Rey) of the fictional country Miranda is living with constant fear that he'll be kidnapped by guerrilla terrorists. There's also M. Thévenot (Paul Frankeur), Simone Thévenot (Delphine Seyrig) and Florence (Bulle Ogier) who are his three friends which are repeatedly invited to the home of Henri Sénéchal (Jean-Pierre Cassel) and Alice Sénéchal (Stéphane Audran) to try…
It's quite something that after nearly half a century, and immeasurable cultural and cinematic development, Discreet Charm still has an air of real danger about it. I've seen it several times but still feel a rush of exhilaration at certain moments: when Don Rafael calmly shoots at the 'terrorist' from his window, when the Bishop arrives and becomes a gardener, when the army march into Senechal's house... There's a sense that absolutely anything could happen.
When I first saw this about 30 years ago I went expecting a good film, hoping for a masterpiece: I was nonplussed to find that not only was I disappointed, but I thought it was a bad film. So, 30 years later I have watched it again. What do I think? It is often described as a satire, but its satire is unfocussed or blunt. The six main characters, always preparing to share a meal but constantly being interrupted, are a shallow, privileged bunch. But that doesn't make the film satiric. The three men, respectable members of the bourgeoisie are importing heroin: is this satiric because it is exaggerated behaviour of the bourgeoisie? I don't think so: typically the bourgeoisie…
Surrealist nonsensical bullshit.
French Monty Python crossed with Inception/the "shower season" of Dallas.

Despite the fact that the net neutrality debate is a discussion that has been ongoing for years, a January 14th ruling from the United States Federal Court of Appeals has stirred the pot once again. The court's decision has created a renewed upsurge in comments, opinions and future-gazing, with debate squarely landing in two very different camps. And, as is to be expected, there is actually very little neutrality.
One is left to ask if it is in fact possible to look at this topic objectively, without taking sides from the outset. Perhaps the passage of time has helped to put the topic in perspective. It may be that the Internet itself, which plays such a central role in our daily lives, has achieved a sort of self-defining momentum that will in due course make some of the net neutrality debate academic.
In this blog and follow-up posts, I'll try to keep the discussion of the recent court decision short and to the point. The actual decision document is here for you to read if you have a couple of hours to spare, and it's worth reading closely to get the true sense of what this decision is all about. Strangely enough, it's not really about net neutrality at all.
The Appeals Court decision is really all about the FCC's Open Internet Order. Essentially, it tears down the Open Internet Order's rules that prohibit Internet service providers (ISPs) from site blocking and from providing preferential service to chosen edge providers. It does not overrule the transparency requirement, which says that ISPs must disclose their traffic management policies. If this federal court decision stands, it essentially means ISPs are allowed to block sites and provide preferential service to some edge providers, but if they do so, they must tell us all what they are doing.
The basis for this decision is important. The judges did not closely examine the pros and cons of Internet openness because that was not what the case was about. The complaint against the FCC is that it overstepped its jurisdiction and that it was not in fact legally entitled to make these rulings. The judges for the most part agreed with the complaint and struck down two significant rules that, in the eyes of the FCC, sought to preserve the "continued freedom and openness of the Internet."
The Wall Street Journal proclaims this decision as a "Victory for the Unfettered Internet." The New York Times, in contrast, describes this as a "Disappointing Internet Decision" on the grounds that it "could undermine the open nature of the Internet." Most vocal opinions are divided along these lines. They are all reading the same decision, but one group believes this will make the Internet more unfettered and open while the other believes the opposite.
Advocates on each side assert that they uphold the principle of an open and unfettered Internet, but their interpretations of what "open and unfettered" means in practice leads (or drives) them to conflicting conclusions. Since different takes on this concept help drive the debate, let's look at those perspectives to see what light they cast on the outcome.
Some people regard "open and unfettered" as meaning that governments should leave the Internet alone. That means no government censorship, no blocking of sites and no monitoring user activity. The traffic must flow unimpeded. Most participants in the U.S. debate would agree on this, so perhaps some meeting of the minds is possible? Not likely, because there is also an opinion that "open and unfettered" means no government regulation either. That means no control of pricing, no rules that specify in any way how ISPs deliver their parts of this immense global cooperative enterprise, and certainly no treating Internet access like a phone service.
To some others, "open and unfettered" means that the corporations that provide Internet services should themselves play by these rules. In other words, they too, just like governments, should refrain from censorship, blocking and tracking what users do (at least without consent of each user). If those companies do not allow traffic to flow unimpeded, then the Internet is in reality not open and unfettered.
Let's be clear that not everybody views a completely open and unfettered Internet as a good idea. Various governments around the world limit Internet access with various forms of site blocking, censorship, user tracking and traffic interception. Presumably the officials and politicians responsible for this believe that their individual varieties of fettering are a good thing, overall.
We also know that some Internet service providers engage in, or have engaged in, site blocking, port blocking and scrutiny of user activity, again presumably because decision makers in those companies and organizations see benefits to doing so.
Where do the various parties fall in the spectrum as a result of the recent ruling? And how will it impact the existing system? I'll get into that in Part II. In the meantime, check out our other thoughts on the latest technology trends for the coming year.

CIOs and those charged with running IT Operations are challenged to deliver secure, audited, and reliable compute environments for the applications and data for the business. Behind the scenes these tasks are often accomplished by following onerous time-consuming processes and often the management of these environments and processes will be outsourced to multiple IT service providers. In addition, the division of work is often siloed into traditional "towers" that are not well integrated for cross-functional purposes. So, when traditional IT Service Management (ITSM) meets the cloud, and equal...

More and more companies are looking to microservices as an architectural pattern for breaking apart applications into more manageable pieces so that agile teams can deliver new features quicker and more effectively. What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply "build, ship, and run," which changes how developers and operators work together to streamline cohesive systems.
