It took Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan nine months to strike their first title in 2010.
For a pair that has won the world title and the Olympics gold, it was a painful experience. But rather than wallow in self pity, the pair are all fired up to get on the winning trail again.
And Markis believes it will happen sooner rather than later.
"It has been an eventful year for us as we moved out of the national training centre in Indonesia to train on our own," said Markis.
"I was also injured and it took some time for me to recover from them (injuries). But fortunately, all that is behind us now. We are focused and we are happy to be playing again, and winning tournaments will soon follow."
While their play may not be as spectacular as Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng or power packed as Korea's Lee Yong Dae-Jung Jae Sung, Markis-Hendra solid partnership and uncanny understanding have made them a difficult pair to play against.
The pair keep the shots simple but have an amazing sense of anticipation that enables them to stay two strokes ahead of their opponents.
"I am injury free and we are slowly but surely regaining our form. Winning the Malaysia Open (GP Gold), hopefully, is the first step towards winning more titles in the future," added Markis.
"We will be playing in many competitions with the aim of taking a shot at the world title in Paris. We won in 2007, we would like to win it again."
In March 2009, a knee injury to Markis forced the pair to skip the All England and Swiss Open but they returned with a bang to win the Asian Championships title in South Korea the following month.
It was supposed to be the ideal build up to the BWF World Championships in Hyderabad in August. However, it was never meant to be as Markis' knee flared up again and the duo had to withdraw from the world meet.
"Having missed out on the 2009 edition (World Championships), we are eager to make amends and do well in Paris," added Hendra.
"With more and more matches, we are confident of regaining our touch and will give our best shot in Paris."
The Indonesians still rate Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng as one of the best pairs in the world and believe the Chinese, defending champions, will be the pair to beat in Paris.
"They are fast and have a tremendous attacking game. Besides Cai-Fu, (Lee) Yong Dae-(Jung) Jae Sung (Korea), Carsten (Mogensen)-Mathias (Boe) and Koo (Kien Keat)-Tan (Boon Heong) (Malaysia) are top pairs as well," said Markis.
"The standard is improving and with more and more young pairs coming up the ranks, we have to be on our toes."
Both players, having left the Indonesian national team training set up, are also trying their hands at the mixed doubles with Markis partnering Lita Nurlita while Hendra partners Russia's Anastasia Russkikh.
Although Markis did not rule out the possibility of focusing on the mixed doubles, he emphasized that the pair will stay on until the London 2012 Olympics, at least.
"Our contract with our sponsors is until the Olympics and we are grateful to Flypower (sponsors) for their support," said Markis.
"Besides the Olympics, our target is also to win the All England title as we have never won it, yet. Just like Taufik (Hidayat)."
Taufik, who is also a former world champion and Olympic gold medallist, has always made it clear that his focus is to win the All England title before he retires from the sport.
"It's a prestigious title and has a lot of tradition. It will be very meaningful to win the All England," added Markis.
But come August, their focus will be 100 per cent on the World Championships.

The Stetson lacrosse team fell to Saint Joseph's by a score of 16-5 on Tuesday night at the Athletic Training Center. Sophomore Paige Levesque led the Hatters with two goals in the defeat.
Neither team was able to take an advantage early, as it took the Hawks nearly 10 minutes to score the first goal of the game. St. Joe's finally got on the board 9:28 into the game, and then came back with another score 27 seconds late to make it 2-0 early.
Stetson countered with an unassisted score from sophomore Danielle Horgan, but the rest of the first half was all Hawks. St. Joe's scored six in a row to go into the break leading 8-1.
The Hawks opened the scoring in the second half before Levesque found the back of the net for the first time off of an assist from freshman Lindsay Summers with 26:56 to play.
The two teams traded a pair of goals as Levesque finished off an assist from sophomore Maylis Broderick, and freshman Christina Loya put home a free position attempt to make it 11-4 in favor of the Hawks with 21:19 to play.
St. Joe's outscored the Hatters 5-1 for the remainder of the contest to earn the 16-5 victory. Stetson sophomore Mary Kate O'Sullivan scored from Horgan late in the second half.
Julia Falcone and Val Paolucci led all players with four goals each. Emily Bowers and Nora McCallion each tallied three assists in the win. Allison Heath picked up six ground balls and four draw controls, while causing six turnovers for the Hawks.
Summers led Stetson with five ground balls and four caused turnovers, while sophomore Amanda Parker recorded a team high four draw controls.
Stetson will conclude its three-game home stand on Monday, playing host to Wagner. The Hatters and the Seahawks are scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. from the Athletic Training Center.

Another win in the Wyoming Range
I'm not usually sold on catchy one-liners, but today, I have a favorite conservation slogan. Care to guess? I bet you won't get it.
Nope, it's not "What Would Hayduke Do?" (Though I saw that one in Bluff, Utah, this weekend and had a chuckle.)
And no, it's not "Go Green: Eat People." (Though that one does call up the amusingly campy 1973 classic starring Charlton Heston, Soylent Green … er, oops ... that information has nothing to do with the film's shocking conclusion!)
And, also no, it's most definitely not "May The Forest Be With You," (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
In fact, Dick Cheney and Mitt Romney might be proud of me for one fleeting moment here, because, by Jove, the answer is "Drill Baby Drill!"
Now, before you splurt coffee from your nose and start pounding furious messages into the comments section below suggesting that we here at HCN must have ingested too much fracking fluid and made a devil's bargain with ExxonMobil, perhaps trading our souls for flatbed trucks tricked out with functioning hot tubs (because who wouldn't want such a thing?!), just bear with me for a moment to savor the irony.
A sign from the campaign to protect the Hoback-Noble basin. Courtesy Emilene Ostlind.
Late last week, the Trust for Public Land announced that it will buy out 58,000 acres of oil and gas leases to prevent energy development from fragmenting valuable wildlife habitat on the Bridger-Teton National Forest in northwestern Wyoming, all of which will be returned to the federal government for permanent retirement. The $8.75 million deal puts an end to a controversial proposal from Houston-based Plains Exploration and Production Co. (PXP) to drill 136 wells for natural gas (serviced by 29 miles of roads and associated infrastructure) on largely untracked and prime hunting grounds along the Hoback River.
Why would PXP go along with such a proposal? Perhaps the company was won over by hunters' concerns that mule deer numbers in the area could plunge as they have on the nearby Pinedale Anticline gasfield. But, as the Associated Press reports, the extremely low price of natural gas was also a significant factor:
"PXP has repeatedly stated our willingness to consider a buyout of our lease position if a valid offer was tendered," PXP vice president Steve Rusch said in a statement. … Low natural gas prices (also) played a role in the agreement. Rusch said PXP has been shifting away from low-margin natural gas toward higher-priced oil in recent years.
And here we come back to what the heck "Drill Baby Drill" has to do with last week's considerable conservation triumph. Those natural gas prices dropped precipitously for the simple reason that producers drilled so much – especially in shale gas deposits in the East and South – that they flooded the market and obliterated their profit margins on wells tapping difficult and expensive to reach natural gas deposits.
O' course, I don't want to disregard the fact that the deal is also likely due largely to local hunters' and environmentalists' spirited fight against the project. For background and some all-around good reading, check out former HCN intern and editorial fellow Emilene Ostlind's story and subsequent blog posts – here and here – following their efforts, and some impressive past victories. The latest deal was made possible through a provision in the Wyoming Range Legacy Act, which put 1.2 million acres in the mountain range that contains the contested area off limits to oil and gas leasing, and offered a path to buy out those already awarded to companies.
"This agreement shows that we can find common ground between conservationists, hunters, anglers – and even oil and gas developers," Trust for Public Land's Northern Rockies Director Deb Love said in a statement Oct. 5. Or, at least, it will if the organization can raise $4.25 million before the deal's Dec. 31 deadline.

I have always wondered why we have not been able to employ this model more broadly. If we care about getting cows off of public lands, why haven't more grazing leases been bought (I think Wild Earth Guardians has done some of this, but not sure how broadly). If we want fewer oil and gas pads dotting the landscape, why can't conservation groups bid on them with the BLM (legitimately, not Tim DeC. style - although that was cool). In Colorado, we were able to pass a bill a few years ago so that water rights holders could donate their extra water to the state for the sole purpose of instream flows...and there are organizations that are trying to craft the purchase of water rights for instream flows, but the Constitution does not allow that as a 'beneficial use' - that one's gotta change.
Anyway, this model seems to me to be a good way to put our money where our mouth is - do we want to empower government to make all of the decisions about our public lands, or do those of us that love these places put some money into the hands (collectively) of others who are trying to preserve the same places? People whine about land trusts driving up the cost of housing (Crested Butte) but look at the beauty of the place that is preserved. It works.
Sarah Gilman, Associate Editor of HCN
Alas, it will take an act of Congress to enable permanent permit buyout and retirement. The Rural Economic Vitalization Act (REVA) would do just that; allow private dollars to buyout and then retire grazing allotments. It is a fiscally and environmentally sound effort backed primarily by the Sierra Club and Great Old Broads for Wilderness.
Please be safe in Utah ;-)

HOOKSET, NH (Catholic Online) - To trust in Our Lord for example, means remembering the royal bloodline from which he himself came. King David, an adulterer and a murderer, responded to his own lack of inner peace by authoring a moving penitential prayer. This Psalm-prayer is offered every Friday by the Catholic Church in her Morning Prayer, and it should be incorporated into the everyday prayer life of a baptized person.
"Have mercy on me, O God, as you are ever rich in mercy; in the abundance of your compassion, blot out the record of my misdeeds. Wash me clean, cleaner yet, from my guilt, purge me of my sin, the guilt which I freely acknowledge, the sin which is never lost to my sight" (Psalm 51).
The Psalm-prayer of King David shows that each one of us knows - deep within our inmost being, in our hearts - that we sin: "My offenses truly I know them."
As well, the Psalm-prayer demonstrates that a sense of guilt accompanies every sinful act: "What is evil in your sight I have done."
To break the Ten Commandments or the Natural (moral) Law, as written by God upon every human heart, is not, as some would propose, a mere matter of mis-education or mal-formation. In fact, in these times, disobeying the "Ten Commandments" and not abiding by the Natural Law is, more often than not, a consequence of succumbing to the three wicked "I's": ignorance, indifference, and indolence.
Conscious of our own sins and aware of the guilt that attends our sinful acts, we should be grateful for the following scriptural words: "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed he will save" (Ps 34:2). Our broken-hearted, crushed human condition is the very reason why the God-Man commands us to have confidence in his victory over sin and death: "Take courage, I have overcome the world" (Jn 16:33).
With confidence, then, Saint Paul speaks forthrightly of his fallen condition and its restoration in Jesus of Nazareth: "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body doomed to death? God - thanks be to him - through Jesus Christ, Our Lord" (Rm 7: 24-25). This is true Christian psychology!
Rightly understood and correctly applied, Christian psychology is connected directly to the Triune God, who "is rich in mercy. Because of his great love for us, he brought us to life with Christ when we were dead in sin" (Ep 2:4).
Only true Christian psychology offers actual interior relief from the guilt of sin by referring people to the Living Person, Jesus of Nazareth: "This is a saying worthy of trust, worthy of complete acceptance: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners" (1 Tm 1:15).
In the second place, true Christian psychology leads every person to seek supernatural remedies for their sinful acts and guilt-relief in their consciences: "If we acknowledge our sins, he who is just can be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrong" (1 Jn 1:9).
Lest there be any doubt or misunderstanding, the Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation), as administered by the Catholic Church, is the primary place for the baptized to seek a supernatural remedy. This Sacrament is not psychiatric therapy or psychological counseling. Through an ordained priest, acting in the Person of Jesus Christ, the Head of the Catholic Church not only are personal sins forgiven, but the guilt associated with those sins is "washed away."
Preparation for receiving the Sacrament of Penance involves a sincere effort to recollect and confess all of one's sinful acts during a specific period of time, which period of time should not exceed two (2) months. A penitent is required to recall carefully and confess correctly all of his or her grievous (mortal) sins, remembering, on the one hand, truthful love and, on the other, the merciful love of God the Father.
For pre-Confession recollection to be fruitful, an interior silence is absolutely necessary. Interior silence conforms to the solitude of one's inmost being - the heart. As such, interior silence should help a penitent to recall, not in the mind, but in the depth of his or her heart the specific sinful acts that must be confessed and repented of, to whom forgiveness must be extended, and where, if any, personal wounds are stored away.
Interior silence will be a novel experience for those who have entered into a regular regimen of ongoing "noise." At this moment in time, "noise" comes from television, media messages, Internet, Ipods, and Ipads. As well, every Christian should understand that "noise occupation" goes hand-in-hand with the loss of the sense of sin. The loss of the sense of sin, of course, leads to a loss of the sense of God: "When man becomes 'bereft of God,' he loses the meaning of his own life and, in some way, becomes 'bereft' of himself" (Pope John Paul II).
Let me conclude with three fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church. First, the Mystery of the Incarnation is connected to the Mystery of Sin: "The doctrine of Original Sin is, so to speak, the "reverse side" of the Good News that Jesus is the Savior of all men, that all need salvation, and that salvation is offered to all through Christ. The Church, which has the mind of Christ, knows very well that we cannot tamper with the Revelation of Original Sin without undermining the Mystery of Christ" Catechism, no. 389).
Second, while created intrinsically good, human nature is in a fallen state: "Ignorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature, inclined to evil, gives rise to serious errors in the area of education, politics, social action, and morals" (Catechism, no. 407). Every person, then, inclines toward sin and, if unchecked, that inclination leads to sinful acts. The Church categorizes certain sinful acts as grave and enumerates them as Capital Sins: "pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth or acedia" (Catechism, no. 1866).
Third, every person, assisted by God's sacramental graces, possesses the interior freedom to discipline and the moral strength to master unruly passions agitated by selfish desires, disorderly affections, or unstable emotions. As codified in the "Ten Commandments," and clarified in the "Eight Beatitudes," the Catholic Church admonishes all her children to obey the divine and moral laws, thereby avoiding sinful acts.
The three teachings above apply in a particular way to every baptized person:
"The reign of life has begun; the tyranny of death is ended. A new birth has taken place, a new life has come, a new order of existence has appeared, our very nature has been transformed. This birth is not brought about by "human generation, by the will of man, or by the desire of the flesh, but by God" (Jn 1:13). If you wonder how, I will explain in clear language.
Faith is the womb that conceives the new life, baptism the rebirth by which it is brought forth into the light of day. The [Catholic] Church is its nurse, her teachings are its milk, the Bread from Heaven [the Holy Eucharistic] is its food. It is brought to maturity by the practice of virtue, it is wedded to [divine] wisdom; it gives birth to hope. Its home is the Kingdom [of God]; its rich inheritance the joys of Paradise; its end, not death, but the blessed and eternal life prepared for those who are worthy" (Saint Gregory of Nyssa).
John D. Meehan has been involved in the lay apostolate of the Catholic Church since the close of the Second Vatican Council. He resides in New Hampshire with his lovely wife Elizabeth.Â

If anyone is in the UK, particularly Liverpool, on the 18th June then get yourself along to the Cavern for a celebration. There'll be competitions and prizes all day, sponsored by EMI, and of course Macca music throughout the club. In the evening, Banned On The Run will be running through a varied Macca set of all-time classics.
If you need any more info then look on the Cavern Web site ...
See you there if you can make it!!

I think it is interesting to discuss the difference between the leavening role of the starter in bread vs. pizza. In the Neapolitan pizza oven, the heat is so intense, surely the yeast are dead before they have a chance to look for the emergency exit. In the much cooler bread oven, the yeast have plenty of time to prepare their wills, get their final affairs in order, and produce a nice bounce before they succumb after a few minutes. So if this correct, then the yeast in the starter do their job during fermentation and proofing, producing pockets of gas throughout the dough so that, if the dough is properly handled and shaped, these pockets expand in response to the intense heat to produce the wonderfully light texture of the Neapolitan pizza.Bill/SFNM
What confuses me about the yeast getting their affairs in order in the bread metaphor is this: are you positing that lower temps would have the yeast still actively producing gas as they begin to succumb to the temps, giving bread its greater rise? Because I would think that interior temperatures would rise fairly quickly, even at 400-450F ranges, and that the rise of bread would still be 99% due to pre-existent gases. You simply have a thicker starting dough that you've been careful in handling so that it doesn't come out a dense unrisen loaf.Interesting stuff.
In the much cooler bread oven, the yeast have plenty of time to prepare their wills, get their final affairs in order, and produce a nice bounce before they succumb after a few minutes.
Regarding the amount of time yeast have before their demise in the oven, here are some data I collected today while baking a rustic loaf in my conventional oven (475F - stone mode). [...] Total baking time: 20 minutes. Final temp 195F, Estimated increase in volume 200%
Bill, what was the mass, physical dimensions, hydration, amount of yeast, and amount of rise time at what temperature for the dough you used for collecting data? Was it a thermistor or thermocouple probe, and how far bellow the surface of the dough did you place it? Did you have to keep opening the door to take the reading, or did you leave the probe in the dough throughout the entire baking process?- red.november
Gas and vapor expansion is certainly going to be affected by the fact that I am at 7000 feet above sea level.
For those of you that use starters, what indicators do you use to determine when your starter is "optimum". Any other thoughts greatly appreciated.Bill/SFNM
wow, lots of great info here.Natural Leaven. I don't know if you ever use a starter that is kept at more of a dough like consistency, but if you did how would you know when it was ready to be incorporated into your dough recipe?Does my "wait until it has just stopped rising" method sound good? It works for me, but I am always trying to find a better way to deal with my beloved little friends.
i take a pack of dry yeast out of the fridge and let it warm up for 1/2-1 hr before adding it to the 102-104 degree water per the direction on the pack of yeast. If you were to add the yeast straight out of the fridge in to the warm water it would kill a great deal of the yeast, and the remaining ones that are still viable are shocked and it will create a huge lag time in active fermentation, Bryan

The trouble with traffic
It's about time for another mini-rant about too-high speed limits on North Dakota highways. The road fatality numbers were bad for last year, the highest in over 30 years.
I've done this every couple years or so, from 1997 to 2007 in the Bismarck Tribune and since 2009 in The Minot Daily News. And the main reason given for these limits, including by the NDDOT, has been that our traffic is light out here.
Well, of course, it no longer is.
I've compared North Dakota with other states that have lower than 75 MPH speed limits on their freeways. None of these states have 70 on any roads other than freeways. Some don't even have 70 on their freeways; their limit is 65.
At 70, our four-lanes like Highway 83 are more dangerous than actual freeways which have wide shoulders, off and on ramps, no cross traffic, no blind knolls or hills, no U-turns and, in most states, no vehicles (including combines) below 40 MPH. Cross traffic, blind knolls, U-turns and combines, we have them all on 83.
We even have 70 on four-lanes for short distances like between here and the base, and between Buchanan and Jamestown. What good purpose does this serve? How much time does it save?
As I have proposed before, we need to lower the speed limits, especially now that we have heavier traffic and those increasingly complicated and distracting hand-held communication devices.
High speeds and texting is a dangerous combination.
Lower speed limits, particularly at dangerous intersections like at South Prairie School, are needed. After citizen input, we eventually did lower them at Max and at Miniot Air Force Base's main gate.
But an overall lowering is indicated. Cut the freeways back to 70, the four-lanes back to 65, and the two-lanes to 60 or even lower depending on how wide the road and whether there are shoulders. Certain long stretches of two-lanes with wide shoulders could stay at 65.
There, rant over, I feel better. You probably don't. But if anything comes of this and other similar proposals, we'll all be a bit safer.
(James Lein is a community columnist for The Minot Daily News.)

Many companies are preparing to release their slate-type personal computers that are designed to consume various types of content – including texts, videos, music, etc. – that will eventually compete against electronic book readers. However, Amazon, whose Kindle is the most popular e-book reader, does not plan to directly compete against tablets and equip its device with a colour screen.
"The Kindle will compete with these LCD devices like the iPad by being a very focused product. Serious readers are going to want a purpose-built device, because it's an important activity for them," said Jeff Bezos, chief executive officer of Amazon, during an annual meeting with investors, reports Dow Jones Newswires.
Amazon Kindle uses electronic paper screen from E-Ink that has very high contrast and more resembles traditional paper than typical liquid crystal displays (LCDs). However, the latter support colour and will be used on tablets akin to Apple iPad. But colour is not a short-term option for Kindle.
"The ability to offer high-quality color on reflective displays is still some ways out," added Mr. Bezos.
It is somewhat surprising that Amazon does not want to release its own tablet, which would allow the company to sell not only books, news-papers or magazines, but also movies, music, video games and other kind of content. Moreover, since universal devices are by definition more popular among general public than specialized devices, Amazon would get more customers for its tablet products than it currently has with Kindle.
According to chief executive of Amazon, the company has sold millions of Kindles so far.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin is back. At least for a day.
Struggling through a winless season, one darkened by his early-season back injury and absence from four races, Hamlin put a bit of sunlight into his 2013 on Friday by winning the pole for Saturday night's Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Hamlin ran a fast lap of 128.969 mph to earn the pole position at the 0.533-mile track for the first time in his career.
BRISTOL: Drivers who could shake up wild card with win
Hamlin said he will be "as aggressive as I can" to get a win Saturday night.
"There's nothing I won't do" short of damaging the Chase hopes of his teammates, he said.
Following Hamlin in the top five were Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Brian Vickers and Matt Kenseth.
KURT BUSCH: In talks to join Stewart-Haas in 2014
Hamlin, who won his fourth pole of the year, said the track changed Friday after a brief shower delayed Nationwide Series qualifying, which was held prior to Sprint Cup time trials.
"That small rain came and changed the race track a bunch," Hamlin said. "You saw a lot of guys slipping over that edge in qualifying. We hit it just right."
PHOTOS: Denny Hamlin through the years
The qualifying session was quite an adventure for veteran drivers Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch.
Kurt Busch slapped the wall in practice and damaged the right side of his car. The Furniture Row Racing team repaired it just in time for qualifying.
"Finding the edge is tough," he said. "I was about to ask if I could walk the banking in (turns) three and four just to see where the marbles had collected. You're all right there on that high lane. The higher you go, the better the grip, but if you get a tire up in the marbles, you're pancaked."
Kyle Busch slipped twice during his qualifying laps. On his second attempt, he hit the wall and spun out, damaging the right rear of his No. 18 Toyota. Busch, who won Wednesday night's Trucks Series race at Bristol, will start last.
Johnson's car was loose on his first lap. He turned around and drove backward on the track to start the lap again, but he wound up with the 13th-fastest speed.
Mark Martin, substituting for injured Tony Stewart in the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14 Chevrolet, qualified 11th.

During my travels around the world, I have had the opportunity to meet with leaders in the Internet community from public and private sectors and to hear their views about the future of the Internet. An important message that I am hearing from many of them is that while we all recognize that it is important to connect the entire world to the Internet, it won't happen by itself. Their concerns reflect those of a growing number of people whose lives and livelihood are dedicated to the growth of the network. Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, has repeatedly stressed that, while it's easy to assume most people will soon have Internet access and opportunity, that just isn't the case. I agree wholeheartedly.
With 2.7 billion people currently online, the growth of the Internet has been impressive, but there are still billions of people without access. That presents challenges not only for them, but all of us. In fact, I consider it a core part of my job to advocate abroad for legal and regulatory environments that encourage investments in broadband infrastructure. And I am encouraged that the United States government is already dedicating resources to promote public investment in broadband infrastructure in hard to reach areas, where private capital may find it too difficult to reap a return to make global connectivity possible.
A friend and leader in the Internet community took the opportunity during a multistakeholder meeting in the Global South last year to do a day of service. He went to speak about the Internet to a classroom of school kids in a relatively low income community. As he started his talk, a child raised his hand to ask, "What is the Internet?" Taken aback, my friend asked the classroom of 14 children if anyone there knew. One child raised his hand and said, "I don't know what it is but I think my mom has it."
This story illustrates the unfortunate reality for far too many children living in too many communities around the world -- lack of access to the Internet. The repercussions for their personal development and the world's social and economic development of that digital isolation are unacceptable and represent a challenge to the international community; however, they are challenges that are well within our capacity to address.
Domestically and internationally, the United States government is doing our part to ensure that more people have the resources and skills to share in the Internet's benefits and opportunities. We have come a long way in America toward ensuring that every one of our communities and every one of our schools is connected to the Internet through the Universal Service Fund and by creating an environment that encourages investment in Internet broadband infrastructure and services. We have done that because we know what connectivity means for social development and individual enrichment through education, creation of content, and expression in civic life. This commitment to investing in the next generation, is one that the we are pledging resources to, both at home and abroad.
Through programs such as the U. S. Agency for International Development's Global Broadband and Innovations program, we are extending broadband to rural areas and helping governments to build out networks using Universal Service Funds in countries from Kenya to Vietnam and working to ensure the critical infrastructural foundation is in place in remote and last mile communities.
Through another public-private partnership, the U.S. Telecommunications Training Institute, USTTI, offers tuition-free training to government officials and regulators in Africa and other developing regions on issues ranging from radio spectrum management to cyber security that are essential for ICT development.
My own office within the Department of State coordinates the Technology Leadership Program; a program designed to support training expenses and facilitate Information Communication Technology policy training to public sector experts in emerging markets.
Yet another project underway, the Alliance for Affordable Internet, is a key complement to our years of work supporting infrastructure build out and extending the reach of these technologies. The Alliance is a 60-member U.S. government-supported coalition that works to catalyze policy change in order to drive down Internet prices, and help to bring the next two billion people online. The Alliance is working to bring mobile and fixed line Internet access costs in line with the UN Broadband Commission's goal of no more than 5 percent of monthly income.
These efforts are just a few examples of how we are committed and involved in global efforts to connect people around the world to the revolutionary force that is the global Internet. We applaud the efforts of other governments and private sector stakeholders working on new technologies that will enable more connectivity at lower prices everywhere.
The Internet helps people find critical information, start and grow their businesses, improve public services, and organize around key issues. It is the responsibility of governments, the private sector, civil society, and academia to ensure that an open, interoperable and secure Internet is a reality for everyone. It is particularly our responsibility as longtime supporters and beneficiaries of market-based incentives to rolling out the Internet that we ensure those incentives work to connect the four billion people still not connected to the Internet. The United States government values partnership and collaboration to make this possible. No one country, no one company, no one institution, can connect the world. We will all have to work together to achieve that goal. But it is achievable and it is worth pursuing.

Today at Ethika Politika, I explore the relevance of the work of Immanuel Kant for conservative Christians:
Immanuel Kant does not always receive the fairest treatment among self-styled conservative theologians.
I have read works in which his whole philosophy is caricatured and dismissed in a single paragraph — hardly charitable treatment of one of the most brilliant minds of the modern era. The motivation tends to be that Kant's philosophy creates problems for some traditional Christian convictions, such as the possibility of recognizing supernatural revelation or obtaining knowledge of God or the importance of historicity to the Christian religion. Rather than engage his philosophy justly, giving it credit where due and honestly struggling with such problems, many take the easy road of rejecting it off hand.
Doing so, however, runs the risk of overlooking areas of concordance in which conservative theologians and Kantian philosophers may have something to offer one another. Oddly, the second century Christian saint and apologist Athenagoras defended the doctrine of the resurrection on — we may anachronistically say — Kantian grounds that may serve to demonstrate the value of such dialogue between ancient theology and modern philosophy, Kant in particular.

I Feel This Product Has Helped Me.
Posted by Reviewer2704860 on Sep 15, 2013
I heard and read about Epicor while I was going through chemo while recovering from Colon cancer 5 years ago. I have been using it since then, and do not plan to stop. I just went to my oncologist for my 5 year checkup and now I only have to see her once a year. I really feel it has helped me. You should do yout own checking before taking.
