The current system, for him, is not working well. The provisions in the proposed bill, however, could mean that after nine years here, his green card application is for naught.
"Every week or month I wonder if I should just pack my bags and go," said Yerra, 31, a baby-faced software engineer from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, where information technology and biotech is starting to rise alongside the state's agricultural base. "The last six months have been like that."
Yerra is one of about 500,000 legal immigrants, many H-1B visa holders, mired in backlogs at various points of the three-part green card application process. Amid the heat of the immigration debate, a group of frustrated, highly educated workers are advocating on their own behalf. Many stand to lose if reform is not smartly crafted. So does American competitiveness.
Furloughing talent
From a group of seven in December 2005, Immigration Voice - a non-profit organization for high-skilled foreign workers - has grown to more than 12,000 across the country. They have been navigating the legislative and political minefield hoping to clear the backlogs and win some relief.
In Silicon Valley, they are primarily Indian and Chinese engineers, but they are also doctors, architects, financial professionals and former CEOs, said Pratik Dakwala, a local Immigration Voice leader and a San Jose business consultant.
Yerra is an applications software engineer, building the kind of software for data centers that nearly every company needs, from Barnes & Noble to eBay.
His work has taken him from Chicago to Boston to San Jose. But each time he moved, he had to start the green card application over again. The peculiarities of the process, involving one's employer, the U.S. Labor Department and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, mean H-1B visa holders must stay frozen in position for their application to stay alive.
They may not take a promotion or go to a new company without starting over. The wait can take up to eight years because of the backlog in green cards available to people who have met the requirements. Many are stuck in the Labor Department's optimistically named "Backlog Elimination Center." Spouses, like Yerra's doctor wife, cannot work until he has his green card.
Choosing America
The backlogs occur because green cards are capped at 140,000 annually for the employment-based visa category. The current proposal would cap it at 90,000, then simply disallow some backlogged applications like Yerra's. Immigration Voice hopes to stop this, and tweak the current law, to make the green card slots allocated by the country flexible and allow people to keep their applications in play, even with job changes.
"Unfortunately, America's immigration policies are driving away the world's best and brightest precisely when we need them most," Bill Gates told a Senate committee in March.
Yerra went job hunting in India in 2002, and concluded there were many things he could learn better here. Like others, he hopes to start a company in America - and leverage his bi-cultural, multi-lingual abilities to sell globally, perhaps to India.
Maybe Congress can take away Yerra's hopes for his green card - and all he may contribute to our economy. But it won't take away what he has learned. That's portable, all the way to India.
Is that really what we want?

1. Problem with footnote.el and auctex
In case anybody has the same problem, I (probably) found the source and a workaround.
The error "Symbol's function definition is void: TeX-add-style-hook" is caused by the footnote-mode, which in turn is loaded by muse-mode, as a default minor mode in "Muse/Muse Mode/Muse Mode Hook".
Turning footnote-mode off lets me enter muse-mode (and planner-mode) without the error. Since I rarely use footnotes I can live without footnote-mode.
If you can't: several messages found on the net seem to indicate that the real source of the problem is a path/duplicate file problem between the normal texinfo.el and a texinfo.el supplied by Auctex. footnote-mode tries to load the normal texinfo.el but gets the Auctex version, which then tries to run the function "TeX-add-style-hook". A solution could be to change the load-path for Emacs libraries or to deinstall Auctex.
Hope that helps, Raine

Mel B told Quintavious 'You just showed us your gift.' and the audience at Radio Cit Music Hall agreed with a huge ovation after the 12-year-old sang 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going.'
Jonah Smith Howard had a strong performance singing 'Stay with Me' and Kelli Glover did alright with 'If 'I Ain't Got You' but if America picks a singer they may not make the cut.
Heidi said her hamstring popped watching Nina Burri's contortion performance and as alluring Nina is, the act didn't really fill the stage. Smoothini had the same problem, good act, but the audience couldn't see his magic.
Card thrower and siblings, Dom The Bom's Triple Threat, according to the meanest judge of them all, Howard, thinks the act has seen it's better days.
Cellists, Emil & Dariel, played one heck of a rendition of 'Satisfaction.'
It was a pretty average show and we'll find out tomorrow night if Bad Boys of Dance, One Voice Children's Choir, Extreme, Mothmen, Jonatan Riquelme, Kelli Glover and the acts mentioned above made enough of an impression to move to the semifinals.

Mid 16th century (in the sense 'follower, obsequious underling'): from French satellite or Latin satelles, satellit- 'attendant'.
In 1611 the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, writing in Latin, gave the name satellites to the moons of Jupiter, which Galileo had recently discovered. An English publication referred to 'a Satellite of Jupiter' in 1665. In Latin satelles, of which satellites is the plural, meant 'an attendant or guard', a use occasionally found in English from the mid 16th century, usually with overtones of subservience or fawning attentiveness. Until the 1930s the only satellites in space were natural bodies such as planets and moons, but in 1936 the word was first applied to a man-made object (at that point just a theoretical one) put into orbit around the earth. The first artificial satellite to be launched was the Russian Sputnik 1, in 1957, and in 1962 the Telstar satellite relayed the first satellite television signal. Sputnik means 'fellow traveller' in Russian, while Telstar got its name because it was built by Bell Telephone Laboratories and used for telecommunications.

- Argentine cardinal becomes Pope Francis, first from the Americas
- Five wines to toast the new Pope
- Jorge Mario Bergoglio brings a common touch to the Vatican: Mercury News editorial
- How Pope Francis compares with Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI
- Pope Francis profile: Argentine cardinal known as humble conservative who preached social justice
- Dennis Rodman campaigns for black pope, though custom 'popemobile' is delayed
Bay Area Catholics are reacting to the election of a new leader Wednesday. Pope Francis is the first pope from the Western Hemisphere and the first non-European in 1,000 years. The Argentine cleric is also the first Jesuit to become pope.
"We are happy. We now have a pope, and from Argentina," said Sheila Macamp, 67, standing outside the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland.
The city is the seat of one of the Oakland diocese, which counts half million Catholics in Alameda and Contra Costa counties as members.
Pope Francis could have a direct impact on the Oakland diocese because the pontiff is responsible for appointing bishops and the Oakland diocese has been without a permanent one since Salvatore Cordileone left to take over the San Francisco diocese in late 2012.
Pope Francis will "inspire us to be concerned about the dignity and rights of every person," said retired Archbishop Alexander Burnett, who has administered the Oakland diocese since then. "They're going to be very moved and very hopeful," he said.
"It was big news," said Mauricio Espinoza, a 17-year-old student at St. Elizabeth High School. The school is part of the St. Elizabeth Catholic Parish in Oakland's Fruitvale District, the home to a large Spanish-speaking community from Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Espinoza and the group of teenagers standing in front of the church on 34th Avenue found out about the election while they were in class.
Jonathan Sil, 16, said the news was exciting even though he didn't know very much about Pope Francis or the duties his position entails.
But because Pope Francis is Argentinean, Sil and his friends expected he would be more visible in Latin America and the United States.
A Latin American pope coming to a city like Oakland would be like "Obama coming down here," Jonathan Rafael, 17, said, referring to the U.S. President Barack Obama.
The Rev. Olman Solis was on his way back from a funeral when he heard that that a new pope had been named.
"The Vatican now is taking Latin America as very important," said Solis, who leads the congregation of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Oakley.
With the church's attention now focused on this part of the world, it's a chance for the hundreds of millions of Catholics there to demonstrate their faith, he said.
He doesn't know much about the Argentinian pontiff, but Solis hopes that he'll be able to connect with the masses in a way that his predecessor did not.
"Benedict was a very smart, intellectual person, and not everyone could really follow him," he said of the former pope's theological writings.
Perhaps Bergoglio will take a more pastoral approach to the office, which would make it easier for people to listen to and follow him, Solis said.
San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said: "This a certainly a very happy and historic day."
"We are very grateful and rejoice to recognize this new shepherd coming from South America," Cordileone said at a press conference at the diocese office. The diocese office noted the new pope takes his name from St. Francis of Assisi, also the name sake of San Francisco.
San Francisco residcent Derek Allen said 76 is a good age for a a new pope. "That's young and hopefully he won't suffer from any ill health," Allen said.
The announcement of Pope Francis didn't come as a surprise to the Rev. Rolando Bartolay, the new pastor of Pittsburg's Church of the Good Shepherd.
"I could already see many paradigm shifts in the hierarchy of the church," he said, noting that although popes always used to be Italian, the church gradually has broadened its leadership to include other nationalities.
Bartolay's hope is that Pope Francis will demonstrate "true ecumenical spirit" by bridging the gap between the Catholic church and other religions with interfaith talks and continued recognition that Catholic teachings are not the only correct ones.
The Rev. Robert Rien rushed back to St. Ignatius of Antioch's rectory after the "White Smoke" application he had downloaded on his cell phone alerted him to the impending announcement.
"I was in absolute shock. I had not heard of him. I didn't know anything about him," Rien said of Bergoglio, noting that he had been hoping one of the other front-runners who had dominated the news -- Boston, Mass. Cardinal Sean O'Malley -- would be chosen.
But as he learned about the unpretentious lifestyle of the cleric from Buenos Aires -- a man who demonstrated Christ's love by washing the feet of AIDS patients -- and saw him bow his head before the crowds in St. Peter's Square asking for its prayers, Rien said happiness overwhelmed him.
"I sat in front of the television and I couldn't hold back the tears," he said. "All of us were able to see this simple, humble man say 'Pray for me.' No other pope has ever expressed himself that humbly in front of the world at the beginning (of his papacy)." Rien predicts that the world will see Pope Francis do things that previous popes have not.
"He's going to model Christ for us in a way that we have not seen before," he said.
Pastor Jerry Brown of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Brentwood said the new Pope faces a unique time in the church's history and that the church was smart not to ignore that church membership in South America has been on the rise. Also not to be ignored, he said, is that Pope Francis appears to be loyal to the conserative teachings of the church.
"He's very committed to the poor, committed to the church, and what you could safely say is conservative," Brown said. "He is deaf on gay marriage, so people who want to see the church become more liberal may have a challenge ahead."

Kodak's deep Image Science portfolio is leveraged across applications as diverse as enhancing printed graphics, securing information through the printing process and enhancing the functionality of any printed image or pattern. The science behind this element of a printed feature is woven into the printing process and expressed in the materials' features – whether visible or invisible.
Optimizing the performance of high-speed inkjet writing systems (e.g., a PROSPER Press operating at 650-1000 feet/minute) can be a daunting task. Development and implementation of image science algorithms to achieve the desired image quality is an integral part of the overall system design. Both on-press and off-line measurements are employed extensively to provide feedback on image quality and to enable realtime correction algorithms. On-press tools are based on realtime feedback from the image quality cameras installed over the printed page or from the routine setup and calibration procedures that are performed daily or at the start of a job. Examples of on-press features are: adaptive algorithms for masking stitching artifacts across multiple printheads, density uniformity calibration, in-track and cross-track color plane correction to combat color misregistrations resulting from paper shrinkage after printing each color channel, and the use of expert systems to identify the types and locations of artifacts in a printed color page. Off-line metrology enables the tracking and characterization of image quality performance and variability both within a page or globally as a result of system-wide changes. Off-line image quality attributes include line width and raggedness, color bleed, color-to-color registration, density uniformity, mottle and grain, and color gamut.
Digital printing simultaneously presents a counterfeiting threat and a deterrence opportunity. Digital printers, such as the KODAK PROSPER Technology, enable the printing of variable data. This feature, once leveraged with secure materials, has the potential to provide novel, unique, and effective solutions for a broad set of applications in both the document printing and the packaging domains. These solutions address applications such as track and trace, copyright and content protection, metadata tagging, and authentication and integrity verification. One example of such technology is invisible data embedding combined with stable infrared ink formulations.
Functional printing includes the placement of patterns onto substrates using printing techniques such as aerial exposure onto photosensitive media, jetting and physical image transfer. In contrast to passive patterns intended only for viewing, storage or scanning of information, some functional patterns can be activated by external stimuli to perform specific tasks. For example, a conductive metallic microgrid can be printed onto a substrate as part of a touch screen apparatus on a tablet display. The microgrid should not significantly affect the quality of a displayed image while providing the necessary sensitivity and resolution expected from a modern touch screen. The emerging discipline of Functional Image Science is seeking solutions to such problems where the electrical, optical and mechanical performance of a printed pattern must be optimized while simultaneously controlling the visual characteristics of the pattern for successful integration into useful devices.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss dropped by the A Song of Ice and Fire forum to tease the fact that in the last week five roles have been cast; Jaime Lannister must be one of the five, by the sounds of it, and perhaps Daenerys Targaryen as well despite conflicting information on that. However, they add that they have no say as to when information will be released; all they can say with certainty is that it will be soon. Obviously, it'll be up to HBO to decide when to release this information.
Word just arrived that Theon Greyjoy has also been cast, as we've reported here.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

BART trains are running again, but only after transit district officials raised their financial offer by about 48 percent in the final hours of negotiations.
For months BART leaders had correctly insisted they needed to demonstrate fiscal discipline. But, suddenly, all that was abandoned.
The net increase for workers jumped from about 8.0 percent in the district's offer before the four-day strike to 11.7 percent in the final deal, reached Monday. That accounts for increased salary, offset by the greater employee contributions to pensions and health care.
BART officials are remaining mum about the details of the deal until workers hold their ratification votes. When they decide to talk, officials will certainly tout, and quantify, offsetting savings from essential changes to work rules and retiree health care that they won as part of the package.
But they had been seeking those changes all along, and, even there, they settled for less than they wanted. Moreover, even if BART officials had gotten everything they sought, the bigger question is: At what price? Why must the public pay so much for basic efficiencies that are standard in the private sector?
Going into the final weekend, the district had been offering salary increases, some of which employees would use to start making contributions to their pensions. The unions wanted those salary increases and reimbursement for the pension contributions. In the end, they got it.
BART was already paying some of the best public transit wages in the nation. On top of that, workers made no contributions to their pensions and paid only $92 a month toward their health care -- regardless of the number of dependents.
Meanwhile, BART faces billions of dollars of capital needs. Directors know they need to preserve funds to help pay that bill, and they need to demonstrate financial restraint to persuade voters to approve needed future tax increases.
They just made that job more difficult. To understand how much BART gave up sealing the deal, let's look at key components:
Salary: BART officials and, consequently, news accounts consistently understated the amount of the salary increases the district was offering. For example, when Gov. Jerry Brown imposed the 60-day cooling off period in August, the district was offering a four-year contract with 2 percent raises in each of the first two years and 2.5 percent raises in the last two years.
BART consistently portrayed this as a 9 percent increase over four years. That ignored the effect of compounding: Each increase would be applied to the salary from the previous year. In fact, the offer then was 9.3 percent.
Similarly, going into last weekend, the district portrayed its so-called "last, best and final" offer of 3 percent each year as a 12 percent deal when it was actually about 12.6 percent. And when the bargaining was over, they had agreed to 16.3 percent compounded.
Pensions: BART officials wanted workers to start sharing the cost of their pensions. At the beginning of August, the district was seeking a contribution of 2 percent of salary the first year, ratcheting up to 5 percent by the fourth year of the contract. But later that month, they reduced that to 1 percent the first year, increasing to 4 percent the last.
Health care: The district also wanted employees to pay more toward health benefits. In the end they settled on a flat increase of $40 a month, which averages about 0.6 percent of salary.
In summary: Take the 16.3 percent salary increase over four years and subtract employee pension contributions, 4 percent by the fourth year, and the higher health care contribution, 0.6 percent. The net: 11.7 percent.
Those numbers do not account for the extra benefit costs associated with the salary increases. Every dollar of salary requires that the district make greater contributions to benefits such as workers' compensation insurance and, ironically, pensions. As a result, the full cost to the district was significantly more.
That said, the base salary and benefit numbers provide insight into how desperately district officials wanted to settle the strike.

Our congratulations and good luck!" The WeShow.com TeamWell, I guess we now have officially graduated from Roppongi (?!?!) JEEBUS! BRAZIL! Well, I must say that this is, indeed, one of the very highest levels of official recognition that I have ever received. You see, from the very beginning, way back in the summer of 2000, one of my biggest goals was to promote cross-cultural awareness and insight on Asia and Asian culture of all kinds as well as entertain as a wacky and caricature clown character. And, of course, some of the segments are only just fun and games - but not all of them. So, I am very dubiously honored by this acknowledgment and, of course, very, very happy to have achieved some level of one of my most important objectives and reasons for getting into and staying so active in web video production for all these years!Also, I have to note that this video was filmed on March 12, 2004 which was, of course, the day after Mr. David Bowie's final Japan show of the Reality world tour. And for sure, a big part of that show was most definitely inside my old Sony PC-5 hand-held!Stay tuned! <*@v@*> Asia Entertainment Online Videos And Web TVRob Pongi Blog

Do you spend much time in Kyoto, Rob?I live in Osaka but my girlfriend lives in Kyoto: Right now I'm lying on her bed in Shijo while she is taking an exam!I bet people can't wait to read my memoirs
Thank you very much too_dozy and Remade/Remodeled! I really appreciate it and I am still a state of disbelief and wonder over this latest development! I have been to Kyoto many times. Its just such a beautiful city and the people there are just so very nice. Compared to Tokyo, its like another country! Really, its true and I would love to live there someday!But also, I got very lucky on the day of the shoot as I was told by some others that it was supposed to rain but, fortunately, it did not. And also it was a very overcast and a grey sky colored day which helped limit shadows and excess luminosity etc. And because it was not such a nice day, and that it was forecasted to rain, the Golden Pavilion Temple grounds were not as crowded as usual. So I was able to get good shots pretty quickly without any unwanted walk-throughs and sudden interruptions by large tour groups etc. Kyoto is an incredibly beautiful city that has several magnificent world heritage sites. But, because of that, it is always so very crowded and not easy to shoot at all. Thanks again.Stay tuned!Rob <*@v@*>Asia Entertainment Online Videos And Web TVRob Pongi Blog

ENVY SOFTBALL is ready to hold try outs for all age group girls. 8u-18u Gold. Our teams have the best of everything from our 10,000 sq. ft. indoor training complex, brand new fields being built for practice and tournament play. In this program it's about the development of the players to reach their personal best while supporting their team mates in the process. We limit the number of players on a team but each player in an age group is always trying to reach the Show case team in their age group.
We have everything from strength and conditioning coaches to track and speed coaches to work with the players. The whole process is in constant review with the College coaches which help plan out the program as well as these coaches attending our Camps for our girls to be seen throughout the year. We are going to change the face of Softball one player at a time, one team at a time. You may request a try out in any age group, but the coaches will place players according to their personal development.
Look on our web site www.legacysportspark.com for try out information. We will be holding tryouts for each age group after the New Year.
We are looking for 18u, 16u, and 14u players to fill out team slots with the girls moving up in age. Once a player makes a team in the organization they are always being watched to be moved up to the 18u and 16u Show Case teams, they make these teams by their personal performances throughout the season in the tournaments they play in. The best thing about our program is if a player out grows their team they simply are moved up to the next level of team. They don't have to run all over town looking for a new team and they will already know the players already on that team from work outs.
If you would like additional information please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 832-818-0888.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

January 24, 2006
With all the grim job reports, it's no surprise South Carolina has an unemployment rate second only to hurricane-ravaged Mississippi. But one company is trying to help lower that number. The Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced plans to expand their two million square foot plant in Beech Island, making it the largest manufacturing plant in North America. News 12 is on your side with what you can expect to see in the next year.
Right now they're still in the process of getting the necessary permits, but if all goes as planned they hope to start breaking ground in April and complete it in 2007.
"It's a rather large roll of toilet paper," said Tom Colgrove, plant manager.
Measuring in at more than 12 feet in diameter, it alone produces more than 600 packs of toilet paper. And with the announcement of Kimberly-Clark's plans to expand their plant in Beech Island, they expect to produce even more.
"We'll be building a large tissue machine that makes very large rolls of tissue paper and then with that will be a series of converting lines that takes those large rolls and turns them into what you see on store shelves," Colgrove said.
Along with that 900,000 square foot expansion comes 150 new jobs.
"Production jobs are processes to produce our consumer tissue products," Colgrove said.
The company, who's known for producing tissue brands like Kleenex, Scott and Conttonelle says the move is a part of a plan to save the company more than $300 million in the next four years.
Kimberly-Clark plans to close 20 manufacturing facilities and expand seven others, among those: Beech Island.
"About a year ago we entered an economic development agreement with Aiken County and with the state to help this expansion to this site," Colgrove said.
A deal the county hopes will keep more jobs rolling into Aiken County.
They've already started hiring in December. If you'd like to apply for a job at Kimberly-Clark, visit kimberly-clark.com.

Tiny PlayStation Vita TV Still a Work in Progress
If it catches the light in the right way, you might just see the future of gaming. No bigger than a pack of playing cards, Sony miniature PlayStation Vita TV game console, first released in November 2013, is being sold outside of Japan for the first time. Yet when I tested it out, its potential gets lost in all the kinks Sony still needs to work out.
The concept is appealing: Plug the Vita TV into your television's HDMI socket, grab the included classic DualShock 3 controller, and you're ready for instant console gaming. At startup, I was pleased to see the same simple interface from the portable PlayStation Vita handheld, and I was able to start playing games pretty quickly. Vita TV is compatible with a lot of previously released Vita titles, and you can download older PSP and PSOne games from the PlayStation Store, so there ought to be plenty to keep you busy.
Given the available content, gameplay is unsurprisingly great fun. Along with the device, Sony provided me two role-playing adventure games to test out: "Akiba's Trip 2″ and "Final Fantasy X-2." Their slightly blocky graphics remind of playing my PS2 many years ago, but nostalgia's no bad thing, and it didn't distract from the story telling.
Some Vita titles, particularly ones that require a camera or touchpad, won't work, because Vita TV has neither. "Tearaway," my favorite Vita game of 2013, is on that list. Some games don't won't work for other, less clear, reasons. I tried my "Dead or Alive 5″ Vita cartridge, and it refused to play. (I couldn't test my collection of Vita game downloads because U.S. accounts like mine are off limits to the Vita TV.) I'd love to see a wider selection of games, plus more clarity about the compatibility of current and upcoming games.
Sony's vision of the Vita TV's future includes accessing games from a PlayStation 4 across your home network and, in all likelihood, streaming PlayStation 3 games from the new PlayStation Now Internet service. But those are just promises for now–implementation is at least a software update or two away.
Vita TV feels like an unpolished beta product, but I can see what Sony was trying to project. The size of the unit is astonishing–once you've installed it, it will just vanish into the wires behind your television. In fact, the bundle of wires you need to connect it is actually bigger than the unit itself.
One day, you might travel with the carry-on-friendly Vita TV, sit in a hotel room and play your PS4 back at home via the Internet. But there are cheaper alternatives for gaming on a budget like the $99 Ouya and $79 GameStick, which play games written for Android.
Sony says it has no current plans for a Vita TV U.S. release, but I'd be surprised if it–or its successor–didn't eventually make it over. For now, the Vita TV "value pack," including memory card and controller, is available in Hong Kong and other Asian markets for around $150.

AfriNIC to benefit from ISOC, AfriNIC infrastructure project
The Internet Society (ISOC) and AfriNIC (African Network Information Center) have rolled out a collaborative project seeking to strengthen Internet infrastructure on the continent.
The only way to maintain electronic commerce in the continent is by strengthening the infrastructure, said Adiel Akplogan, AfriNIC CEO. "People will resort to local infrastructure once we demonstrate we can perform at the same level with the developed countries," Akplogan said.
The project will help countries establish national Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) where service providers can peer. Up to now access has been routed through Europe or the U.S. The second phase is setting up copies of the DNS (Domain Name System) root servers, which allow faster access to Web sites and pages.
"If a country is to enjoy the benefits of local content, it is important to have a functional IXP and a copy of the root server," said Michuki Mwangi, a senior education manager at ISOC.
A root server maps IP addresses. If the address map resides within the country, then it becomes faster to access the Web site.
The first phase of the project was a workshop where IXP operators without copies of the root server were asked to express interest. The project is also supporting countries without IXPs to set them up.
Tanzania and Mozambique will get a copy of the root zone server, Mali will get technical support of a fully operational IXPs and Sierra Leone will set up an IXP.
"A local copy of the DNS root server will provide resilience against an outage of a major international circuit. Waiting/response time will be improved from the current 600ms," said Frank Habicht, manager of Tanzania's IXP.
Tanzania has two exchange points and Habicht feels that it has helped online application form processing for customs inspection clearance and online applications to the Tanzania Revenue Authority.
"Companies are now relying on the IXP for business-to-business Virtual Private Networks," Habicht added. "New business opportunities for local content hosting have also come up."
The infrastructure has to be in place for local content to yield results, Michuki said.
The Kenya IXP grew by 384 percent last year, a factor Michuki attributes to awareness of the value of local content.
The true value of the IXPs has not been appreciated in Africa because the cost of connectivity has remained high. With fiber-optic connections finally coming to Kenya, Michuki predicted that low-cost bandwidth will become reality.
Sierra Leone, which is rebuilding after the civil war, received a grant of US$10,000 to set up the necessary framework and train engineers, added Michuki. Cisco Systems is providing additional switches to connect the local university.

We wish to thank the Nominations Committee and the community for their participation in this very important process.
Adiel A. Akplogan, CEO
Adiel A. Akplogan honored with the first African Network Information Infrastructure (NII) Service Award 2009
It was a moment of immense pride and pleasure for AfriNIC to have its CEO, Mr. Adiel A. Akplogan receive the first Network Information Infrastructure (NII) Service Award for 2009 by the African Network Operators Group (AfNOG) for his contribution in establishing the very successful African Internet Numbers Registry, AfriNIC, and for his leadership and service to the African technical community.
The Award was presented during the AfNOG 10th Anniversary meeting that was jointly held with the AfriNIC-10 Public Policy Meeting in Cairo, Egypt, 10-21 May 2009.
Mr. Akplogan is playing an exemplary role for Internet development in the African Region. He continues to provide leadership in the numbers registry and has been a strong African voice in several global technical forums. "Adiel Akplogan has selflessly worked to establish AfriNIC and worked tirelessly to grow the membership, improve use of number resources and built an active technical community in Africa. This has resulted in the growth of a more robust Internet in Africa and development of an active technical community of LIRs who continue to develop policies appropriate for the region. This has enabled development of numerous applications throughout Africa that is impacting education, health and commerce in a notable way" said Dr. Nii Quaynor, Convenor of AfNOG. "While many people were talking, he was leading his small team to just do it" he added.
In his address, Adiel Akplogan thanked the AfNOG for this recognition and dedicated its Award to the community as without their support, none of the success being celebrated could happen. "We have a lot to do in our region, our generation has the obligation to make thing move! If we don`t, the coming will blame us and we will have no argument. The Internet is a tool for development, but without understanding the economics behind it and the fundamentals of the technology, this tool will be useless in our quest for a better life." said Adiel Akplogan.
Other honorees were AfNOG instructors who contributed significantly to the community include Alain Aina, Alan Barrett, Ayitey Bulley, Sunday Folayan, Mark Tinka, Chris Pinkham and Randy Bush. A special award was also given to the Honorable Tarek Kamel, Minister of Communications and Information Technology of Egypt who had been a long time contributor in the technical community in Africa and who generously hosted this event, and to Dr. Nii N. Quaynor for his significant contributions to the development of the Internet in Africa and the global technical community as early adopter and precursors in many Internet related activities and businesses in the region.
Adiel A. Akplogan is the Chief Executive Officer of AfriNIC, the Regional Internet Resource Registry for Africa since 2004. He carries an enriching experience of more than 15 years in the Internet Technology environment. He previously worked at CAFENet (an IT service company based in Togo - 1994-2000) as New Technology Director, and Symbol Technologies in France (2001-2003) as Information System Manager. From 2006-2009, he served as member of the UN Secretary General Multi-stakeholder Advisors Group for the Internet Governance Forum, and since 1999 he served as Experts on Internet Governance for the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
Moreover, from 2005-2006 he served in the African Technical Advisory Committee of the United Nation Economic Commission for Africa (ATAC/UNECA). Currently, Mr. Akplogan is the Chair of the NRO Executive Council (Number Resource Organization) and was involved with setting up several technical coordination bodies, such as the African Network Operators Group (AfNOG) where he serves as a member of the Administrative committee and the African ccTLD Managers Association (AfTLD). Mr. Akplogan is an Electrical Engineer and holds a M.Sc. in E-Business and New Technology Management.

A Successful AfriNIC-10 Public Policy Meeting in Cairo, Egypt, May 2009
AfriNIC-10 Public Policy Meeting which was held jointly with AfNOG's 10th Year Anniversary meeting, from 10 - 21 May 2009 at the InterContinental Cairo, Citystars Hotel, Egypt and attended by some 150 delegates, proved to be a great success! It was hosted by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) of Egypt and Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Egypt (MCIT), and sponsored by Internet Society (ISOC), Cisco Systems Inc. (CISCO) and Google.
The event was opened by a Keynote Address from Mr. Mahmoud El Gowini, Advisor to Honourable Dr. Tarek Kamel, Minister of Communications and Information Technology and was comprised of training workshops; presentations on the latest Internet technology trends referenced by interesting case studies; overviews and updates from AfriNIC and the other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs); Policy Discussions; AfriNIC Board Elections; and, closed with a social dinner at the Smart Village which was also hosted by the MCIT where the delegates were privileged by the presence and speech from the Honourable Dr. Tarek Kamel.
One major outcome of the meeting was the approval of the Global Policy Proposal for the Allocation of IPv4 Blocks to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). In line with the AfriNIC Policy Development Process (PDP), the policy proposal is now in the 15-day last call for comments period. However, the IPv4 Soft Landing and the IPv6 Allocations to Non-Profit Networks policies did not reach consensus during the meeting and were therefore sent back to the RPD mailing list for further discussion. More information on the policy proposals can be found at: http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/afpol-v4gb200903.htm and to learn more about the AfriNIC PDP, please visit http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/afpol-pdp200707.htm
Delegates also had the opportunity to participate in IPv6/LIR workshops and hear presentations from Industry leaders on subjects including the Legal Aspects of IPv6; Egypt IPv6 Task Force; Economics and Technical aspects of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs); updates from ICANN and IANA, discussions on the importance of participating in the policy development process; and, updates on the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2009, which we are proud to say will be held in the African Region in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, 15-18 Nov 2009.
AfriNIC Board Elections also took place on 21 May 2009 and the candidates elected to AfriNIC Board are: Southern African Region: Mark J. Elkins (of South Africa): Primary; Silvio Almada (of Angola): Alternate; (2) Eastern African Region: John Walubengo (of Kenya): Primary, Lillian Wambui Karanja (of Kenya): Alternate.

Root Server Anycast Copy Deployed at Tanzania Internet Exchange
AfriNIC launched its Root Server Anycast Copy Program in Cairo, Egypt, October 2008, with the objective of increasing the number of instances of Anycast copies of root servers in the African region in order to improve the local Internet infrastructure scalability and reliability. Three fundamental reasons have encouraged the distribution of the root servers at many locations around the world.
- Better load management on root servers;
- Resilience to DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks; and,
- Lower RTT (Round Trip {delay} Time) between clients and servers.
When a region or a country loses its international connectivity, access to root servers is preserved by virtue of the local node. This enables the local traffic developed through IXPs and transit points to proceed. In another term, this will allow the local Internet to continue to be able to resolve names and access to local services.
Today, we are pleased to inform you that the first deployment under our program was completed on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 in Dar-es-Salaam at the Tanzania Internet Exchange (TIX), where a copy of the K root server operated by RIPE NCC is installed and running. " This is another exciting step we are taking to improve Internet service in Tanzania. We want to thank AfriNIC and RIPE NCC for their support in this project " stated Frank Habicht, TIX Manager.
"This deployment is very critical as it helps to address the issue of "Access" in Tanzania and it is an important milestone towards our objective to contribute more to the Internet infrastructure development in our region. We are looking forward to more deployments of this kind in the coming months" stated Adiel Akplogan, CEO, AfriNIC.
We congratulate TIX for its participation in the AfriNIC Root Server Anycast Copy Program and wish them a great success! Furthermore, we would like to extend special thanks to RIPE NCC who actually carried out the deployment, Tanzania Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA) for local support, SimbaNET and Africa Online for the transit provided, and the AfriNIC Project Team.

Occupation 101: Voice of the Silenced Majority is a 2006 documentary film on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict directed by Sufyan Omeish and Abdallah Omeish, and narrated by Alison Weir, founder of If Americans Knew. The film focuses on the effects of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and discusses events from the rise of Zionism to the Second Intifada and Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, presenting its perspective through dozens of interviews, questioning the nature of Israeli-American relations — in particular, the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and the ethics of US monetary involvement.[1] Occupation 101 includes interviews with mostly American and Israeli scholars, religious leaders, humanitarian workers, and NGO representatives — more than half of whom are Jewish — who are critical of the injustices and human rights abuses stemming from Israeli policy in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza

Leftover bond funds go to energy program
January 26, 2013
PARKERSBURG —Wood County commissioners voted to turn over more than $48,000 remaining from a 1990s housing program to a new energy project....
but it does sound like to me that you spend an exceptionally high amount of time trying to get to these people from Dupont that doesn't even know or care that you exist wheather you work for them or not. Why not fix the problem and sue them again. Seems to have worked the first time. That vile toxin teflon, in which I do agree is a nasty toxin, hasn't slowed down being produced in the least. Take some of your own money and invest in their stocks it might weigh out what they take from you after you sue them.

now funfun just because I don't worry about what everyone else has doesn't make me a heckler. Even I knew in high school that if you depend on a company, especially these days, whole heartedly you are going to end up on the bottom. The first place they take from is the hourly employees. So if you don't like that then you should be trying to take her job instead of biotching about it. No matter what you post on the net you are not going to change her pay. Besides that you mentioned getting off topic. But I don't beleive that Dupont or this lady you speak so highly of had anything at all to do with the article.

Easy come, easy go. A year from now, no one will be able to produce as much as a receipt to verify the money was correctly spent. Energy programs such as this have a dismal success rate, especially in our state. This money would have been spent as a funding mechanism for the unfunded extra week of vacation the commissioners just gave county employees.
