Americans Don't Support Automaker Aid So Much
One-fourth of Americans support aid for automakers. [USA Today]
One-fourth of Americans support aid for automakers. [USA Today]
In tonight's mini-State of the Union, President Obama said the "nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it." Except there's one teensy-tiny problem. We didn't invent the automobile. That would be Karl Benz — in Mannheim, Germany. Just sayin'... [NYT]
Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the White House auto task force wall. We know we would. What do you suppose they're saying in there? [CNBC]
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said yesterday he's looking at what's being termed a "Hummer tax" — basically, higher registration fees for larger vehicles and discounts for those that do "less harm" to the environment.
In 2008, China was devastated by an 8.0-magnitude earthquake causing an estimated 87,000 casualties. One trillion yuan (about $146 billion) was given for rebuilding, but some claim the money was used for luxury goods.
Want a tax break? Buy a new hybrid, right? Wrong. A Senate amendment added to the House stimulus package offers tax breaks on purchase of practically any new vehicle under $50,000. If it passes.
Most interest in the 2011 Chevy Volt has until now been directed at the battery and drivetrain. Now GM is looking to work with communities to make sure they're ready with plug-in power.
REPORT: Ford may need government help by Fall 2009. [CNBC]
Buyers of the 2010 Fusion Hybrid or Mercury Milan Hybrid will qualify for a $3,400 tax credit, the highest credit ever offered for hybrids purchased or placed in service after December 31, 2005.
Senate Finance Committee markup of President Obama's stimulus package added a proposal modifying the plug-in electric car credit by doubling automaker vehicle limitations, upping the max credit to $15,000 and cutting low-speed vehicle credits. [GreenCarCongress]
As President Obama today addressed his desire for the fuel-efficient cars of the future to be built here, the following news flash shot across the bottom of the screen. Ironic? A bit, yes. [CNBC]
President Obama plans to remove federal opposition to statewide automobile emissions standards today, allowing California and other states to regulate emissions above-and-beyond federal guidelines and possibly putting political expediency above good public policy.
Washington politicians, drunk with power from the inauguration of The One, want to offer you cash to take your clunker off the road to buy a new greener car. Worst idea ever.
Clueless hack tapped to be Obama's Transportation Czar. [BoingBoing]
Report: Ford, U.S. Treasury in talks on TARP financing. [Reuters]
The Carpocalypse draws nigh after Senate Republicans lanced last night's bailout. In response, the White House now says "all options are on the table" and Toyota's scared after its stock drops 10%.
There's General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner, stepping from a Chevrolet Malibu hybrid last night at his hotel in Washington to the flashing bulbs of the paparazzi after driving from Detroit to testify at Congressional hearings for an auto industry not-a-bailout. If the not-so-Big Three automakers have learned anything…
We spent the night reading the the not-so-Big Three's business plans presented yesterday to Congress and after we graded them below, we've one huge question. Given the Carpocalypse, what's with the overwhelmingly optimistic sales projections for the next three years?
Well, Hoon by name if not by nature. Geoff Hoon, former Secretary of State for Defense, was appointed the United Kingdom's Secretary Of State For Transport back in October. Could this be a good thing? Surely anyone named Hoon can't be all evil, right? Well, he has called fixed speed cameras "arbitrary" and "unfair,"…
One of the biggest problems we've had with the request U.S. automakers have made for financial assistance from the Feds to avoid bankruptcy has been a lack of centralized message. The General's apparently trying to change that, this by heading to YouTube by way of their GMFactsandFiction website. The video, titled…

2016 Insight Santa Cruz Sustainability Campaign opened November 3, 2015
First let me say a big THANK YOU for your past giving to Insight Santa Cruz. Because you and other sangha members made and kept dana pledges, Insight Santa Cruz had a banner year in programs and in financial support. We held close to 700 programs between October 2014 and October 2015; some days there were 4 programs on the same day. Scheduling anything new has become a challenge and occasionally we have had to rent nearby space when two programs run at the same time. We are deeply happy to be challenged in this way because it says that our dharma community is thriving.
But we can see that we have maxed out our use of the space we have. As you probably know, we are looking to find a larger space with two rooms suitable for meditation and other kinds of programs so that we may conduct two activities at one time or provide family programming in one, while another program runs in the main hall. More space is going to require some additional support. Our goal this year is to have pledges of monthly or annual gifts which will total $75,000, $5000 more than was pledged last year. We hope this goal can be reached so that we may move forward on finding and renting a larger space and moving Insight Santa Cruz into a more central Santa Cruz location.
You have been one of Insight Santa Cruz's loyal supporters. Can we ask you to recommit with an increased pledge for 2016? Or to make an increased on an annual gift in 2015 or 2016, if that is your mode of support? We hope you will open your hearts and support the center in the 2016 annual campaign. You can make a pledge for a monthly contribution or a one time gift at the following web site:
Insight_Santa_Cruz_Pledge_Form or visit:
Pledge forms will also be available in the ISC lobby, if you prefer to use a paper form. Both the on line pledge form and the paper-form give instructions for how to make various kinds of gifts. But if you wish to do this with a credit card, go to the top of the page and click on the Donation button.
The pledge drive will run from November 2015 to the end of January, 2016. All donations are fully tax deductible for the year they are made in. Again, thank you so much for your on-going support for Insight Santa Cruz. Your support is why we can offer the 700 different meditation, qigong, discussion and information programs. We hope you will renew your support with the most generous renewal pledge you can make for 2016, so that ISC can support you and all beings in coming to an end of suffering and finding a lasting peace in our lives.
2015 Pledge Campaign a Huge Success
We are pleased to announce that our 2015 fund raising drive was a great success. Collectively, we contributed $60,320 in pledges, plus $7000 in matching funds, and $1200 in employer matching funds. The grand total is $68,520. We have exceeded our goal of $60,000. Shortly we will send an e-mail notice to all who pledged to confirm the donation and to make sure we have the correct amount.
We want to thank you so much for your vote of support and confidence These pledged funds will secure our budget for the 2015, and allow us to continue the rich mix of regular sittings and many special events. May you reap the joy that comes in practicing generosity and also serving the Dhamma.
2014 Sustainability Campaign a Huge Success
The Sangha rose to the challenge, opened their hearts with generosity, and pledged and then actually gave more than the goal set by the ISC Board.
Dana (Donations)
Insight Santa Cruz is dedicated to continuing the ancient Buddhist tradition of freely offering the dharma without charge, knowing that it is priceless. We encourage the practice of dana, which means generosity in Pali (the original language of the Buddha). The generosity of our community supports the teachers and pays all of our sangha's expenses: rent, utilities, insurance, phone, supplies, bank and bookkeeping charges, website, etc.
If you have questions about donating to Insight Santa Cruz, please contact the Treasurer. Donations to Insight Santa Cruz, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, are fully tax-deductible, the tax ID is 77-0567516. Donations can be made in any of the following ways:

Your donation is fully tax-deductible. When you make a donation, please save and/or print the confirmation e-mail you receive from Network for Good for your tax records.

Fidelity has four other funds listed on the INSM site. I recognize the Small Cap Opportunity from one I own. I think the big deferred annuity has a piece of that action also. I bought in last May. Guaranteed 5% rollout each month into a retirement account, can access the who investment after 5 years. Wanted $25,000 per year but it now is performing at $27,000 per year in 10 months.
The Shire-Premacure buyout has the opportunity to facilitate refocusing for the future use of Iplex. MGH is on the verge of recruiting for its Phase III, Anorexia Nervosa bone deficiency study for women using Increlex. The results of that study clearly showed that IGF-1 promoted bone regeneration in young women with the equivalent of malnutrition induced osteoporosis. From looking at Shire's pipeline and products, FOB is a totally new area for them. I think they are going to rely on Premacure and the funded plan for Sahlgrenska University Hospital to collaboratively establish a Premiplex production process at a contract facility. But IGF-1 also has the possibility for a totally unique in vitro use at Shire. They grow therapeutic fibroblasts in vitro for use in various dermatology conditions. We shall see, but probably not for a few years. I am hoping that they will pursue ALS and swallowing reflex protection.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Looks to me as though when FMR reported on February 14 they forgot to mention the 1,881,752 shares held by their Beacon Bioventures subsidiaries.
Oops :-)
They are not the only large fund buying....=)

So Frustrated!
I am sure that when I was at school I actually cared about my school work. I never once asked for an extension on an assignment. I always handed in my work when it was required, regardless of what that work was. I didn't even do that at uni the first time round, and I only asked for an extension twice last year when I was doing my grad dip because I was doing 6 subjects (which in hindsight was insane!).
I am wondernig why my grade 10 students are so damn slack when it comes to handing in their work.
The semester grade for my grade 10's is based on 4 pieces of assessment - a test, an exam (no different to a test except it is held during exam week under strict exam conditions), an assignment, and classwork - each worth 25%.
The test results weren't too bad. The averages for both my classes were 66% and 69%. I was relatively happy with those but most of the girls could do a lot better. I am hoping they will do better in the exam in about 8 weeks time.
The assignment, which was due last Thursday, was seriously the easiest assignment I could have given them. I gave them 3 classes in which to work on it when I was only required to give them 2. I have assisted them whenever they have asked me for help - even gave them my email address so they could ask me questions outside of class time. (Not my personal email address - not that stupid!)
Yet when it came to handing it in, only about 60% of the students across my two classes handed in their assignments. I actually made the ones who weren't handing it in come up to the front of the class and tell me what their excuse was. I put these excuses into a spreadsheet.
What is so damn frustrating is that they waited until the day it was due to ask me for an extension. Some gave me hollow promises to have it emailed to me by midnight that same night (only 3 did this), but the frustration mainly came from those wanting an extension at last minute.
Tomorrow is a week since it was originally due, and despite the fact that is the holidays, the girls who haven't handed in their assignments loose 5% each day up to a maximum of 35% of their total mark for the assignment. 35% is a HUGE chunk of what should be an easy mark! I am starting to wonder how many of them are going to fail the assignment as a result of this 35%...
Now I come to their classwork. I don't give homework UNLESS something is not completed in class. I give the girls about a weeks notice of when I am going to collect their books and tell them exactly what I am wanting to be completed. Doesn't sound hard right? Well, apparently it is.
A lot of them didn't hand in their books before the holidays. A large majority of those who did hand in their books haven't finished everything. I don't ask for much - just that they have an attempt at every question so I can see that they are having a go. So why is it so hard to get them to do the work?? Their classwork should be the easiest 25% they could get!!
I have been doing some thinking and I believe it just comes down to them being 15 years old. They are at that age where they don't give a crap about school. Yet next year they go into grade 11 and if they don't bring their game up to scratch they are going to fall so hard and fast on their faces they won't have time to even put their hands out to try and break the fall.
So I have made a decision. I am going to shock them a little. I am going to tell them to pretend that it is the end of the semester and that their reports with their final grades have just been mailed out. I will then speak to them one at a time and tell them what their final grade is, based on the work they have done so far this semester. I hope this shocks some of them into doing better work. A lot of them are going to have failing grades!
But I guess I am also looking for some advice. If anyone out there knows how to motivate teenage girls into doing the best they can at school, please let me know. Feel free to offer constructive critism too.

I have survived!
Well, I have survived my very first term as a teacher. 10 weeks. For the past 2 weeks I have been hanging on by a very thin thread. I've turned into a cranky cow and I am really not suffering fools - especially those aged between 11 and 16! I need these 2 weeks off so I can just catch my breath.
I do have a lot of work to do... lots and lots of marking! And if I feel motivated to do so I will try and plan a good 3-4 weeks of lessons before the first day of term 2.
Despite all that there is one thing I will be doing this holidays... I shall be sleeping in EVERY SINGLE DAY! I will also have an afternoon nap if I so desire! Ahhh sleep, how I have missed thee!
So what have I learnt about myself as a teacher this first term...
Here are the not so good points...
I'm too soft. I need to be a lot harder on the girls (have I mentioned I work in an all girls school?) because the amount of respect they are showing me has slipped dramatically over the 10 weeks.
I need to give more homework assignments. I give them time in class to finish the work and then they are expected to finish it before the next time I collect their books. They aren't finishing the work. I usually collect a lot of work at once every few weeks but now I am going to collect at least 1 or 2 items a week. All my classes receive marks towards their final semester grade for their classwork - it should be the easiest marks they can get.
I need to do more preparation with regards to certain topics because I hate being put on the spot with questions that I just don't know the answer to.
Here are the somewhat better points...
I am fair. I treat everyone the same which is sometimes hard to do.
I enjoy teaching even if I would like to string them all from the ceiling at times.
I don't see going to school each day as a job... I just see it as a part of my life that needs to be done. I proved this to myself when I was as sick as a dog but still went to school. In any of my previous jobs I would have called in sick for up to a week! I did have a couple of sick days in my first few weeks but I was really sick and couldn't get out of bed.
I have the ability to build a good rapport with most students.
We recently had parent teacher interviews and I received some amazing feedback from the parents. Their girls had told them I was their favourite teacher. Their girls now considered science their favourite subject. It was very nice to hear that I was doing something right because at least once a day I question my ability and question if I am doing it right.
I suppose the test results for all my classes should have told me I was doing ok (very good averages!) but sometimes you need to hear it from someone!
Ok that is enough typing for one day!

Being Sick Sucks!
Today I discovered how hard it is to teach when you have a fever. I've been fighting off a cold/flu for the past few days and after lunch today (when I finally got to sit down for the first time all day) I started to burn up. Considering I only had 1 class to teach I decided to soldier on.
All I can say is thank goodness I have a laptop class (all the students in my class have a laptop which is connected to the schools network via a wireless connection... not all classes have laptops) - I just put them to work on their research assignments while I sat at the front of the science lab and told them they had to be nice to me because I was sick.
This is the worst possible time for me to get sick - tomorrow night is parent teacher interviews. I will be meeting with something like 30 parents in a 3 hour time slot. It's going to be like speed dating... I am not looking forward to it. I then have to do it again on Monday because one parent teacher night is just not enough to see everyone! Joy! *groan*
Overall, I have only good things to say about my students. Every one of my classes has just recently had tests and I am so happy with the overall performance. However, there are a few (in grade 10 - 15 and 16 year olds can be impossible!) who need to lift their game if they want to pass this semester. I didn't want to have to do this to the grade 10s but both my classes will be put into a seating arrangement the next time we are in the lab (currently working on assignments in the computer labs).
So I've been a teacher now for 9 and a half weeks - almost an entire term. I still love it, even if the students make me want to pull my hair out. I am sure some of them are going to put me in an early grave, and I do check daily for grey hairs... but despite that, it's all good!

A place to just write...
I was keeping a kind of blog on my Facebook profile but after I started teaching I decided it was probably a good idea to take it down. Although my profile is highly protected from those students who may go looking, the last thing I want is for one of the darlings to hack into it. So this is why I have decided to do the anonymous thing. It's to protect me and my students, for there will be times when I just have to write about what they did and what they said...
However, tonight I shall not be writing much more than this as I have just spent the past couple of hours marking tests and my eyes are sore! The girls (I teach at a girls school) did really well over all. They averaged 69%. I honestly thought they would do a lot worse than that. I am so glad they proved me wrong!
Good night!

Feelings on "Pets"
These are just my thoughts on "Pets", feel free to share your own thoughts to ^_^ :
I do not like it when people try to force their will on other people.~ All creatures are people and individually are persons.~ All is equal and has neither more nor less value or meaning.~ This is why I dislike how many people think of and treat "pets".~ Would I mind the idea of a creature coming to me and us developing a bond of friendship? No, I would not mind that.~ All "pet" means to me is simply another word for "companion" or "friend", but referring specifically to a friend who is not Human.~
Precious children dancing in the fields of pixies through nurturing and love they may bloom like flowers, through neglect and forget they may turn sour, who can say who can be? The duality of everything in existence it not be. So simple as 'either' 'or', no, a tidal wave of life crescendos into a symphony of possibility.~ Possibilities beating into the veins of the heart of nature.~
Children can be protected and nurtured, but eventually all children, regardless of what kind of creature they are, grow up. All creatures, especially when they reach adulthood, may come and go as they please and make their own decisions, regardless of what kind of creature they are.~
As much as I love creatures like dogs and cats, I can not bring myself to "keep them" as adults as every part of me is screaming not to.~ I will raise creatures to adults, but I will raise them to be more independent of me as they get older until they are completely able to take care of themselves as adults as I believe this is what being a parent who truly cares about their child's happiness will do.~
I will never tell them where they can or can't go and I will never treat them like property without any rights of their own .~ For just because they are different than me, does not make me better than them.~ I think we could all learn a lesson from that.~
Love yourself, you are beautiful!~ ^_^
*Believe in yourself, you can do anything*!~ ^_^
Appreciate every thing, every thing is precious.~

Create a Canning Lid Wreath out of Mason Jar Lids and Washi Tape. This is such a fun wreath and can be made to match any season.
Wrap the tape around the outside edge of the lids.
Don't they cool already, all stacked up?
To make the wreath I took a long piece of orange ribbon and strung it through the center of lids, and brought the two ends of the ribbon together and tied them as tightly as I could. It is helpful to have a helper for this step so you can get the ribbon tied nice and tight.
I tied a cute bow at the top, and that is all there is to it!
Happy Fall!

Top Rank Pursues Pacquiao vs. Bradley Investigation
LAS VEGAS, NEV. – Bob Arum, Chairman and CEO of Top Rank, said today that he has submitted a formal request to the Nevada Attorney General's office for a full and complete inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the scoring of Saturday's WBO welterweight championship fight between defending champion Manny Pacquiao and challenger Timothy Bradley. The Pacquiao-Bradley welterweight title fight took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
"The public has a right to know. The fighters have a right to know," said Arum. "The only way to restore fans' confidence in boxing is by letting an independent body investigate every detail of the fight no matter how big or small. Sunshine never hurt anyone."
Bradley, the undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion, won a controversial split decision, dethroning Pacquiao on scores or 115-113, 115-113 and 113-115, in a fight most ringside media and fans thought Pacquiao won by a wide margin.

To the Editor.
—Crum et al1 report age- and education-specific norms on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)2 based on a large community sample. Similar data are also available from the Framingham Study that provide further insight into the usefulness of the MMSE.Since 1982 the cohort participating in the Framingham Study has been screened for dementia with the MMSE as part of every biennial medical examination. Individuals suspected of being cognitively impaired have been further evaluated by a neurologist and neuropsychologist. A panel of two neurologists and a neuropsychologist made a final determination about the presence and subtype of dementia. We are able to confirm the age and education association with the MMSE and also address two acknowledged limitations of the study by Crum et al. Since a clinical diagnosis of dementia was made, our data allow us to comment on the performance of individuals with dementia and

Why confine it to "emergency"?
I'd say that having to choose between Verizon and Comcast is ample 'emergency' to justify the swiftest and most aggressive deployment of alternate networking techniques we can manage…
Jonathan Zittrain writes, "Ad hoc mesh networking has been developed to enable free and censorship-resistant communications in places like Egypt and Syria. (The New America Foundation's Commotion project is an example of that kind of network.) Less explored has been this kind of networking for public safety purposes, such during attacks or natural disasters. In this article, former FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski and I explain why it'd be a good idea to develop these kinds of networks, and sketch out how they might work."

Tea Party-dominated states across America passed laws banning cities from providing high-speed internet access to their residents, even in places where the cable/telco duopoly had decided not to sell broadband; last year, the FCC issued an order stating that these laws were null and void.

It would give too much power to the people. Too many of the authorities would oppose and need to crush it. Let's see why:
It would have to be very easy to do. After a hurricane or something nobody is going to go back to the remains of their house and try to look up network protocols. You would have to be able to do it at any time, from any place, with no effort. This means that people would be walking around doing it randomly.
By it's nature it would be (potentially) absolutely anonymous. Anyone can pop up anywhere, identify themselves as whoever they want to be, do something and disappear forever.
There is no good way to charge for it. How do you bill someone who's only there for one file?
It would have to be normal and legal to run an open hotspot. The owners would need full immunity from whatever strangers run through their equipment.
There would be no good way to tap or control it. People could do all the usual things that they are cracking down on. These include:
Child porn
Political speech
Copyrighted materials
Assorted criminal activities
It will be outlawed in five different ways before This FCC guy even knows what hit him.
It wouldn't have to be outlawed.
It just wouldn't work in the first place.
The majority of people simply do not have sufficient technical knowledge to competently operate a computer securely in a somewhat secure network environment with Internet access, much less an ad hoc networking environment.
The most popular computer & mobile device operating systems generally aren't terribly secure out-of-the-box, and only get more insecure as their users don't keep them up-to-date on security patches and don't harden them against public networks following best practices for port exposure and network share configuration.
What's going to happen almost immediately in a larger scale ad hoc network is that people will join computers infested with malware, or simply insufficiently protected against malware, and right off the bat, there will be worms spewing malicious packets everywhere, compromising all machines that weren't already infested.
Then there will be the criminal element who would just be waiting for an opportunity like this to sniff for unencrypted network traffic containing login or financial information, and also probing for open network shares.
That sort of activity would only be in addition to the activities you mention above, which the government might like to curtail, but then again, maybe they wouldn't want to, if they also are spreading their own targeted malware and sniffing network traffic for investigative purposes. Maybe they would find the ability to exploit the false sense of security some folks might think they have on an informal and "anonymous" network to their advantage if they have a cyber warfare unit prepared for that sort of action.
I would really only see emergency networks working more in the context of how many civilian ham operators have traditionally taken their nearly-professional radio operator skills, along with their mobile rigs, into disaster areas to help get information in and out when the lines are down. If network operators with mobile equipment were able to deploy themselves, link with others, and expand data and mobile communication capacity, while at the same time protecting the integrity of the mesh network from those trying to exploit or damage it, and users from each other, maybe such a thing would be viable.
Free? Censorship-resistant? You're right, it would be a good idea, if the powers were on our side. Need I remind you this is America?
The 'feds' aren't exactly a hive mind. It'd be no more implausible for this sort of project to receive support from somewhere or other under 'emergency/infrastructure resiliency' logic than it would be for, say, the Tor project being a child of DARPA and the US Naval Research Laboratory(which it is, perhaps they took 'surfing' the internet a bit too literally).
Now, that wouldn't stop whining from other quarters the second it even looks vaguely plausible that The Terrorists or kiddie porn entered the picture; but so long as mesh networking lags conventional wireline and cell in terms of convenience and ease of use(which is likely to be for quite a while) it is unlikely to be worth the trouble of killing off. Why focus on gnawing at crypto-geek fantasy playland when every major telco in the country is handing you neat stuff to look at?
Very good point. I doubt many government engineers are gleefully rubbing their hands, muttering, "Whose civil liberties shall we crush today?" But they do tend to be amoral, and if offered a paycheck for cracking TOR, for example, a hell of a lot of engineers would jump at the chance.
The good news is, guys like Lieberman probably haven't heard of TOR yet.
I don't doubt that the left hand would be attempting to crack what the right hand was intending to secure, possibly without even fully realizing how silly they look.
My observation was just intended as a note that(ever since Clipper went down in flames, back in the Clinton administration, that was an attempt to cripple all devices at the endpoints; but a failed one) the feds have shown comparatively limited interest in actually trying to ban/destroy cypherpunk toys, instead focusing their attention, largely successfully, on compromising service providers, who are the man in the middle for essentially all easy-to-use everyday services that people actually bother using in any quantity.
This is not to say that they'll sit back and ignore somebody who is otherwise vexing and using some fancy trick to attempt to avoid detection or encrypt their communications; but as long as the desolate whistling of tumbleweed blowing past you in the barren wasteland of other people who use such tools, you can get, quite legally, the best crypto and network obfuscation stuff publicly known. Your list of potential contacts tends to be pretty short, alas(I know that the percentage of people I exchange email with who are set up to send and receive PGP encrypted messages is probably in the single digits, and I hang out with geeks, OTR is the same story).
Revenge of the Mooninites!
I used to work for a company that was developing ad hoc mesh networking technology for the Navy, self-healing wireless networks that would fill in the gaps in the event of battle or other damage. The Border Patrol was also a customer, I believe to network various sensor systems (that was about the time I was leaving the company). Similar systems for public utilities for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), monitoring of switching stations, generators, etc. If the SAFARI system is bandied about in the press, it's a direct descendent of the systems I was involved with (not as an engineer – tech writer and illustrator).
Ad hoc networks are inherently unreliable. Mesh networks are a different thing altogether and are also unreliable unless you use radios specifically designed to do it.
Providing useful wifi coverage to an entire metropolitan area takes a ton of gear and a robust maintenance regime.
There's a reason that very few cities have metro wifi installations. They all want it. Most have looked into it. None can afford it.
I wonder where these things will be installed. I was one of Simpson Garfinkel's Airora customers in Boston – he explained that the early ISP-via-WiFi failed because nobody wants anything installed anywhere. If you tell building owners about installing WiFi, they get dollar-signs in their eyes, and make the cost prohibitive. I think only with people sticking these things in their windows will that work, and it might require dual or tri-band devices to make a mesh network like that work. (there are no tri-band WiFi devices)
Also, I tried to do something similar in Pittsburgh. Nobody wants it. I am not only the creator of Pittsburgh's Wireless Community website, but also the only member, and only person who has still had that sort of interest – since 1999. People have screamed at me that it is illegal, and that nobody wants it – Pittsburgh has proven this.
I am really becoming disappointed in the readership of BoingBoing. All these comments about why it CAN'T possibly work instead of useful discussion about how it can and should. We get it people are ignorant and for those interested http://project-byzantium.org/about/ is a great in dev distro
Not to mention all the complaints about the other comments. Totally disappointing.

( note : we go throught NHL playoff ! )
12 teams keeper with playoff - points only
6 fwd, 4 def , 2 goalies , 4 farm
Maybe you missed the report that Vokoun signed in Pittsburgh. He will be the clear number 2 behind Fleury and Hiller gets the net to himself. Hiller easy. If the Pens go anywhere in the playoffs (cup favorite IMO, just best way to word that) it will be with Fleury not Vokoun.
12 Team H2H Keeper, Keep 5, Keepers,
Roster: 4C, 3RW, 3LW, 5D, 2U, 3B, 3IR, 4G (Start 2)
Stats: G(3), A(2), +/-, PIM(0.5), PPP(2), SHP(3), GWG(2), SOG (0.1), HITS(0.1), BLKS(0.2), W(3), OTL (1), GA(-1), SV(0.2), SO(3)
C: Crosby, Seguin, Bonino
LW: Benn, Hall, Parise, Huberdeau, Larkin (C/LW), Panarin (C/LW)
RW: Pavelski (C/RW), Wheeler, Perry, Okposo, Radulov
D: Byfuglien (D/RW), Josi, Doughty, Vatanen, Gostisbehere, Bogosian
G: Schneider, Andersen, Hellebuyck, Vasylevskiy
Vokoun won't see enough starts to be valuable.
Hiller forsure, vokoun isn't a starter anymore

LW: Tatar, Johansson, Burakovsky, Nelson, Comeau
RW: Voracek, Wheeler, Zibanejad, Carter
D: Karlsson, Carlson, Ghost, Borowiecki,
G: Rask, Dubnyk,
I say that even if Fleury gets injured, Hiller would have better stats as a starting goalie than Vokoun (except maybe wins).
Easy pick here: Hiller
Keeper league 16 teams (H2H, keep 16 NHLers, 15 minors; Championships 2009-10, 2013-14)
Scoring Cats: G-A-PTS-PPG-PPA-(+/-)-PIM-SHP-SOG-FOW-GWG / W-L-SVS-SV%-GAA-SO

F: Milano, N.Schmaltz, Dvorak, Merkley, Senyshyn, Beauvillier, McLeod
D: Provorov, Pulock, Montour, Lindell, Juolevi
G: Hellebuyck, Calvin Pickard, Taylor
Agreed with the others, Hiller quite easily.
If Fleury suffered some random long-term injury, I could see this being comparable as I personally like Vokoun. But given the current situations, not even close.
Hiller hands down.

Hiller wins by default. He is a starter unlike Vokoun and the Ducks can't be this bad again.

Rigondeaux: This Fight Will Prove That I'm The Best!
By Ryan Burton
Guillermo Rigondeaux is less than two weeks away from his unification clash against Nonito Donaire. The fight takes place in New York on April 13th and will be televised by HBO.
On this week's edition of BoxingScene Radio, the WBA super bantamweight champion told us that this by far the most important fight of his career.
"We are training hard. We can't wait for fight night. This is the biggest fight of my career and we will show that on April 13th," Rigondeaux stated.
The WBA super bantamweight champion insists that he isn't worried about Donaire's size advantage, pointing out that he has faced bigger fighters in the past and always found a way to leave the ring with his hand raised.
"His size won't be a problem. I have fought guys a lot taller than him like Robert Marroquin. He was a lot taller than Donaire. His size won't be a problem at all," Rigondeaux confidently stated.
Rigondeaux has reunited with the trainer who led him to two Olympic gold medals and to what many call the greatest career in amateur boxing history.
The Cuban also said that they plan on unveiling new facets of his game that haven't been seen yet and that he will prove that he is the best fighter in the division.
"With Pedro Diaz its a guy I've worked with back in Cuba. He knows how I fight. You are going to see different things from me when I fight.
"This fight is very important for me. When I win that will show that I am the best 122 pound fighter in the world," Rigondeaux told us on Boxingscene Radio.
