Furious Winter Conditions Prepare Resorts For Holiday Week
Denver, Colo. – December 20, 2012 – Storm patterns that left Colorado resorts with copious amounts of precipitation over the previous weeks continued to swell during the past 48 hours, dropping fresh inches of fluffy powder at locations across the state. Further storm conditions are expected in the coming weeks, perfectly timed with the Christmas and New Year holidays on the horizon. The consistent weather patterns are enabling resorts throughout Colorado to open more terrain.
For the second time in a week, every resort in Colorado Ski Country received fresh snow. The western part of the state was hit particularly hard, as was the south. Of Aspen's four resorts, Snowmass lead the way with 13 inches, while Steamboat and Howelsen amassed 11 and 10 inches respectively. Powderhorn recorded 13 inches, and Sunlight five. Moving south, Telluride saw nine inches fall, Purgatory received a full foot, while Wolf Creek topped the totals across ski country with 20 inches. There were 10 inches left at Silverton.
In the central part of the state, Crested Butte was left with a full foot of fresh powder and Monarch received seven inches. Ski Cooper will open Friday thanks to the recent consistent snowfall.
Resorts closer to the Front Range experienced fair amounts of snow, as Winter Park recorded five inches in 48 hours, while Ski Granby Ranch and Eldora both received a half foot. Loveland had five inches drop, Copper saw four and Arapahoe Basin three.

We recently viewed an ad that set Mitt Romney's words to images of those representing the 47 percent that he disparaged. Now let's view an AFSCME ad that presents the perspective of Richard Hayes, San Diego sanitation worker who picks up the trash from Romney's $12 million oceanfront villa in La Jolla, California. Hayes sees himself as one of the "invisible people": those who provide essential yet unrecognized services that make Romney's life comfortable. Watch:
RICHARD HAYES: My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney's trash. We'll call it the invisible people. He doesn't realize that the service we provide -- if it wasn't for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.
Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we're doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we're doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn't care about that.

Questions to the Committee:
Topic #1: Critical Path Initiative
Are we focusing on the appropriate Critical Path topics? Are there others that we should be addressing through our research programs? How should we identify Critical Path issues in the future and how should we prioritize them?
The Committee thanked the presenters for their in-depth presentations. The Committee agreed that FDA is focusing on the right Critical Path topics to improve drug development and processing. The members felt that the FDA knowledge base puts the Agency in a unique position to identify some of the problems. However, they added that since FDA does not have all the information, collaboration with Industry and Academia is necessary in order to achieve the critical pathway.
In addition, the members highlighted that a science-based approach is necessary to define the metrics and the desired state. The committee discussed several metrics, which are helpful to measure effectiveness of the program, such as the multiple review cycle and tracking of FDA personnel turnover. Also, the members suggested that a Bayesian approach may be the best way to reduce the review cycle time for drug approval.
The members underlined that collaboration and trust are essential for a science-based approach to the regulatory arena and commended FDA on their research efforts and collaboration with NIH. The members emphasized that it is a challenge for Industry to contribute to the knowledge base due to the legal pressure placed on them; intellectual property rights and trust complicate the collaboration effort. Also, the members underlined that better communication between FDA and Industry can help make the approval process more predictable for the sponsor. The members added there is an acute need for fundamental research and public funding. The members underlined that manufacturing has been a neglected area in the United States, compared to Europe.
In addition, the committee felt that Academia would be the best group to pursue the continued research projects needed to contribute to the science-based approach and be hypothesis driven, in order to achieve the Critical Path issues of the future. In conclusion, the committee felt a reduction in risk with knowledge sharing is necessary in achieving scientific truth, as well as, compliance not to be a barrier to the scientific knowledge. Finally, the members stressed that as the rate of technology advancement increases, an internal committee needs to also be considering the questions of the future, in order to handle the prospective paradigm shifts.
Topic #2: The Concept and Criteria of BioINequivalence
Please comment on the following recommendations:
The committee recognized the difficulty of a developing a science-based response to this problem. The members recommended that the existence of prior information must be included in the determination of bioinequivalence.
In addition, the members argued that if the area under the curve (AUC) is picked, this gives no information about the rate; the Cmax captures both the rate and extent of absorption. Some suggested that the criteria for establishing bioinequivalence must include all three metrics of Cmax, AUCt and AUCµ , while the others recommended that one metric be sufficient.
In conclusion, the Committee highlighted that it is a hurdle to prove bioinequivalence, as the bounds used have to disapprove all three metrics. The committee agreed that bioinequivalence is a challenge for FDA, in the light of diminished Agency resources, but prior information such as failed biostudies could answer some of these questions.
Topic #3: Bioequivalence Testing for Locally Acting Gastrointestinal Drugs.
Please comment on the following recommendations:
The Committee discussed the use of dissolution testing to establish bioequivalence for drugs that act in the GI tract. The members added that in vitro testing is good if there is control over the test. The members emphasized that dissolution tests are needed early on in the process, in order to narrow down the variables. Further, pharmacokinetics studies are useful to assure safety of the test product.
In addition, the members stressed that dissolution tests are formulation tests, and can be a surrogate for clinical tests. The Committee discussed that dissolution tests can be very discriminating if the study is designed well. Although the committee felt that the Agency had all the data necessary to do dissolution testing for the products being discussed, dissolution test procedures can be simple for some drugs, but complicated for others. The Committee argued that when a lot of background information is available, the dissolution test could be used. However, the members added that when doing dissolution testing, careful attention needs to be paid to the calibrator.
The members emphasized that as local acting products, such as GI, nasal, or topical are part of the Critical Path Initiative, they could contribute to the timely approval of generic drugs.
In conclusion, the Committee agreed it was difficult to reach a consensus, but that in order to prove bioequivalence in vitro dissolution along with pharmacokinetics should be acceptable.
The outgoing Chair praised the committee and the FDA staff for the great work that has been accomplished over the last three years. He especially recognized Ms. Winkle and Dr. Hussain for their leadership of these efforts.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 4:35 p.m. on October 20, 2004.

Californians Oppose Expanded Fracking
As state legislators debate stricter regulations on fracking, 51 percent oppose increased use of the drilling method used to extract oil and natural gas (35% favor it, 14% don't know).
Top map: Proposed fracking sacrifice zones of Monterey Shale in central and offshore Southern California. Source: Food & Water Watch. In one of the biggest environmental scandals in California history, Catherine Reheis-Boyd, President of the Western States Petroleum Association, chaired the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force to create alleged "marine protected areas" in Southern California. These so-called "Yosemites of the Sea" and "underwater parks" fail to protect the ocean from fracking, oil spills and drilling, pollution, military testing, wind and wave energy projects and all human impacts on the the ocean other than fishing and gathering. Please compare the map of "fracking sacrifice zones" with the Department of Fish and Wildlife's map of Southern California marine protected areas posted below. Many of the "marine protected areas" are in or near the fracking sacrifice zones!
Californians Oppose Expanded Fracking
by Dan Bacher
A poll released by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) on July 31 reveals that the majority of Californian residents oppose expanded fracking in the Golden State.
Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) employs huge volumes of water, mixed with sand and toxic chemicals, to blast open rock formations and extract oil and gas. The technique is environmentally destructive, resulting in pollution to groundwater supplies and streams, as documented in the documentary films Gasland 1 and 2, directed by Josh Fox.
"As state legislators debate stricter regulations on fracking—already under way in California—51 percent oppose increased use of the drilling method used to extract oil and natural gas (35% favor it, 14% don't know)," according to PPIC, a nonpartisan research foundation. "Asked whether they favor or oppose stricter regulation of fracking, 50 percent say they are in favor. Among those who favor increased use of fracking, 62 percent also favor stricter regulation." (http://www.ppic.org/main/pressrelease.asp?i=1378)
The controversial technique, currently unregulated and unmonitored by California officials, has been used in hundreds and perhaps thousands of oil and gas wells across the state, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
The survey asked about another hotly debated plan to increase the supply of oil: construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to carry oil from Canada to Texas refineries. Half of Californians (51%) favor building the pipeline, 34 percent oppose it, and 15 percent don't know, according to PPIC.
"Californians are conflicted when it comes to controversial efforts to expand the oil supply," said Mark Baldassare, PPIC president and CEO. "Slim majorities favor building the Keystone XL pipeline but also oppose fracking, with many wanting stricter regulation of the practice."
The poll also revealed that the majority of Californians are opposed to expanded offshore oil drilling, with 54 percent opposing and 41 percent favoring more oil drilling off California's coast. Among those living in coastal areas, 57 percent oppose more drilling, while those inland are divided (49% favor, 47% oppose).
Delta advocates fear that much of the water destined for the proposed peripheral tunnels under the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) will be used to expand fracking in California. The tunnels will hasten the extinction of Central Valley Chinook salmon, steelhead, Delta and longfin smelt, green sturgeon and other fish species.
As oil companies gear up to frack massive petroleum deposits in the Monterey Shale and build the Keystone XL Pipeline, the poll also found that 65 percent of Californians say the state should act immediately to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The poll puts new pressure on state lawmakers and regulators and Gov. Jerry Brown to halt fracking expansion in the state. A USC/Los Angeles Times poll in June found that more than half of California voters — 58 percent — favor a moratorium on fracking.
It's time for a fracking moratorium
"Californians are telling pollsters and policymakers they don't want fracking pollution fouling up our state," said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity. "There's strong public support for a moratorium on this dangerous practice. We need to stop the oil industry's fracking expansion now, while there's still time to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate we depend on."
Oil companies, represented by the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), are increasingly interested in fracking the Monterey Shale, an oil-laden geological formation beneath some of the state's most productive farmland, important fish and wildlife habitat and scores of towns and cities. Much of the shale is located off the California coast in and near controversial "marine protected areas" that fail to protect the ocean from fracking, oil drilling, pollution and other human impacts other than fishing.
"Fracking routinely uses numerous toxic chemicals, including methanol and benzene. A recent Colorado School of Public Health study found that fracking increases cancer risk and contributes to serious neurological and respiratory problems in people living near fracked wells," according to Siegel.
Fish and wildlife are also at risk. Fish, including endangered Central Valley Chinook salmon and steelhead, can die when fracking fluid contaminates streams and rivers. "Birds can be poisoned by chemicals in wastewater ponds and the intense industrial development that accompanies fracking pushes threatened or endangered animals out of wild areas they need to survive," Siegel stated.
"Drilling and fracking also release huge amounts of methane, an extremely powerful global warming gas," said Siegel. "Methane is about 105 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas over a 20-year period. Burning the estimated 15.5 billion barrels of oil in the Monterey Shale will generate more than 6.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, according to calculations based on Environmental Protection Agency figures."
Besides threatening groundwater supplies, endangered salmon and steelhead in the state's rivers and bird populations through the state, fracking also poses an enormous rise to California's marine waters.
Ocean fracking operations in Santa Barbara Channel approved
An investigative piece by Mike Ludwig at http://www.truthout.org on July 25 has confirmed that federal regulators approved at least two fracking operations on oil rigs in the Santa Barbara Channel off the coast of California since 2009 without an updated environmental review that critics say may be required by federal law.
These operations were approved as state officials and corporate "environmental" NGO representatives gushed about the alleged "Yosemites of the Sea" and "underwater parks" created in Southern California waters under the "leadership" of Catherine Reheis-Boyd, President of the Western States Petroleum Association.
"The offshore fracking operations are smaller than the unconventional onshore operations that have sparked nationwide controversy, but environmental advocates are still concerned that regulators and the industry have not properly reviewed the potential impacts of using modern fracking technology in the Pacific outer continental shelf," said Ludwig. (http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17765-special-investigation-fracking-in-the-ocean-off-the-california-coast)
"Oil drilling remains controversial in Santa Barbara, where the memory of the nation's third-largest oil spill lingers in the minds of the public. In 1969, the nation watched as thick layer of oil spread across the channel and its beaches following a blowout on an oil rig, killing thousands of marine birds other wildlife. The dramatic images helped spark the modern environmental movement and establish landmark federal environmental laws that eco-groups continue to challenge the government to enforce," Ludwig noted.
The current push by the oil industry to expand fracking in California, build the Keystone XL Pipeline and eviscerate environmental laws was made possible because state officials and MLPA Initiative advocates greenwashed the key role Reheis-Boyd and the oil industry played in creating marine protected areas that don't protect the ocean.
Reheis-Boyd chaired the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Blue Ribbon Task Force to create alleged "marine protected areas" that fail to the protect the ocean from fracking, oil drilling and spills, pollution, military testing, wind and wave energy projects and all human impacts on the ocean other than fishing and gathering. She also served on the task forces for the Central Coast, North Central Coast and North Coast.
Reheis-Boyd apparently used her role as a state marine "protection" official to increase her network of influence in California politics to the point where the Western States Petroleum Association has become the most powerful corporate lobby in California. The association now has enormous influence over both state and federal regulators. (http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/lawsuit-filed-against-fracking-oil-lobbyist-says-its-safe)
Oil and gas companies spend more than $100 million a year to buy access to lawmakers in Washington and Sacramento, according to Stop Fooling California (http://www.stopfoolingca.org), an online and social media public education and awareness campaign that highlights oil companies' efforts to mislead and confuse Californians. The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) alone has spent more than $16 million lobbying in Sacramento since 2009.
As the oil industry expands its role in California politics and environmental processes, you can bet that they are going to use every avenue they can to get more water for fracking, including taking Delta water through the peripheral tunnels proposed under the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP).
The industry will also use its power to expand fracking in the ocean, as evidenced by the recent approval of ocean fracking operations off the Southern California coast, unless Californians rise up and resist these plans!

Wow! Great article, Dan. You appear to be one of the few reporters in the state taking your Fourth Estate responsibilities to heart identifying the hidden, but logical, and, in retrospect, obvious reason the tunnels keep being pushed forward when their return on investment numbers make them look like a bad investment for agriculture and for the state - oil fracking.
In times when important events like entire communities parading in the streets to stop the tunnels (last weekend's Courtland Pear Fair) go unnoticed by the Press, it's good to see real investigative reporting isn't dead. (Check out the video. Click here for more information - the parade video is a link). Keep up the good work!
A piece focused on the human impacts construction and tunnel muck will have on the Delta legacy towns like Courtland, Clarksburg and Hood plus economic damage from years of construction on boating and fishing communities in the South would be appreciated. It's the real threat to Delta farmers, communities, and way of life - as well as fish - that is the reason why people are protesting and "Stop the Tunnels" signs are cropping up everywhere. But it's hard for little Delta farmers and communities to compete against big ag and oil!

Fracking causes earthquakes. Just ask the USGS! Read all about it in Scientific American! Check out the 'domino effect'!
It is my humble opinion that certain interests have made the leap from amazingly ignorant to dangerously insane. Something should be done, immediately.

What is a non qualifying annuity?
Perhaps you meant a "non-qualified" annuity? If so, a nq annuity is an annuity purchased with after-tax dollars; conversely, a qualified annuity is one purchased with pre-tax dollars, such as in an IRA or a TSA.
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
What are annuities?
There can be a few different definitions but in short as it applies to insurance or financial services: = Two Main Annuity Types: Immediate and Deferre…d = The difference between deferred and immediate annuities is just about what you'd think. With an Immediate Annuity your income payments start right away (technically, anytime within 12 months of purchase). You choose whether you want income guaranteed for a specific number of years or for your lifetime. The insurance company calculates the amount of each income payment based on your purchase amount and your life expectancy. A deferred annuity has two phases: the accumulation phase, where you let your money grow for a while, and the payout phase. During accumulation, your money grows tax-deferred until you take it out, either as a lump sum or as a series of payments. You decide when to take income from your annuity and therefore, when to pay the taxes. Gaining increased control over your taxes is one of the key benefits of annuities. The payout phase begins when you decide to take income from your annuity. For most people, this is during retirement. As your needs dictate, you can take partial withdrawals, completely cash-out (surrender) your annuity, or convert your deferred annuity into a stream of income payments (annuitization). This last option is essentially the same as buying an immediate annuity.
What is annuity?
Technically, the term "annuity" means "a series of payments over time, where the original investment and interest will be distributed over the annuity payout period". However,… most people, when they use the term "annuity" are referring to a COMMERCIAL ANNUITY - a contract between an issuing insurance company and the purchaser. There are two basic types of commercial annuities: IMMEDIATE - These contracts guarantee an income for either a specified period of time ("Period Certain" annuities) or for the life of the "annuitant" ("Life Annuities"). The annuitant is the person whose age and sex determines the amount of the annuity payments. An immediate annuity may be "fixed" (guaranteeing a specified amount of money each year) or "variable" (guaranteeing an income, the amount of which will vary with the investment performance of the investment accounts chosen by the purchaser). DEFERRED - These contracts have two phases: (a) the Accumulation phase, during which the annuity will earn interest, and (b) the Payout phase, during which payments will be made to the annuitant either for a specified period or for life (the payout phase acts like, and is taxed like, an immediate annuity). Deferred annuities may be either "fixed" (where principal and a minimum rate of interest is guaranteed) or "variable" (where the value of the contract will vary with the investment performance of the accounts chosen by the purchaser. For more information, see "The Advisor's Guide to Annuities" by John Olsen and Michael Kitces (National Underwriter Co., 3rd ed., 2012) Answer 2 . Series of payments at fixed intervals, guaranteed for a fixed number of years or the lifetime of one or more individuals . . Similar to a pension , the money is paid out of an investment contract under which the annuitant(s) deposit certain sums (in a lump sum or in installments) with an annuity guarantor (usually a government agency or an insurance firm). . The amount paid back includes principal and interest , either or both of which (depending on the local regulations ) may be tax exempt . An annuity is not an insurance policy but a tax-shelter . While the interest component (the taxable portion) of a regular annuity payment may be exempt from local or state taxes, it is never, under current law, exempt from Federal income tax. Moreover, to say that an annuity is a "tax shelter", rather than an "insurance policy" is not quite correct. First, an annuity is not a tax shelter, as that term is ordinarily used, because it does not EXEMPT any otherwise taxable income from Federal tax; it merely provides tax DEFERRAL. Moreover, many components of an annuity are, in fact, INSURANCE. An annuity contract is not LIFE INSURANCE, and does not enjoy the same tax treatment of a life insurance policy (e.g.: an income tax free death benefit), but the RISK TRANSFER characteristics of an annuity are certainly "insurance". (John Olsen)
Can you roll over a non-qualified define benefit lump sum into an IRA?
First off...defined benefit plans (promising a payout of an amount, generally keyed as a percentage of earnings or such) DO NOT have a lump sum. The employer has no specific a…ccount with a certain portion earmarked as a particular employees. Perhaps you mean a defined CONTRIBUTION plan? (Where a specific amount each period is contributed on behalf of the employee). I really don't think so. Non qualified plans get very few benefits....in fact, I should think getting paid anything from the plan is going to be simply considered current income. An unqualified plan of this type is essentially just an agreement between you and your employer on some future salary payment. (You might have some options of putting it into a Roth IRA, after you pay the tax on it, but that would take some more review). A qualified employee plan is an employer's stock bonus, pension, or profit-sharing plan that is for the exclusive benefit of employees or their beneficiaries and that meets Internal Revenue Code requirements. It qualifies for special tax benefits, such as tax deferral for employer contributions and capital gain treatment or the 10-year tax option for lump-sum distributions (if participants qualify). To determine whether your plan is a qualified plan, check with your employer or the plan administrator. A rollover occurs when you withdraw cash or other assets from one eligible retirement plan and contribute all or part of it within 60 days to another eligible retirement plan. This transaction is not taxable but it is reportable on your Federal Tax Return. You can roll over most distributions except for: # The nontaxable part of a distribution, such as your after-tax contributions to a retirement plan (in certain situations after- tax contributions can be rolled over), # A distribution that is one of a series of payments based on your life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of you and your beneficiary or paid over a period of ten years or more, # A required minimum distribution, # A hardship distribution, # Dividends on employer securities, or # The cost of life insurance coverage. Further exclusions exist for certain loans and corrective distributions. Any taxable amount that is not rolled over must be included as income in the year you receive it. If a distribution is paid to you, you have 60 days from the date you receive it to roll it over. Any taxable distribution paid to you is subject to a mandatory withholding of 20%, even if you intend to roll it over later. If you do roll it over, and want to defer tax on the entire taxable portion, you will have to add funds from other sources equal to the amount withheld. You can choose to have your employer transfer a distribution directly to another eligible plan or to an IRA. Under this option, the 20% mandatory withholding does not apply. If you are under age 59 1/2 at the time of the distribution, any taxable portion not rolled over may be subject to a 10% additional tax on early distributions. Certain distributions from a SIMPLE IRA will be subject to a 25% additional tax.
What is a life annuity?
An annuity is long-term retirement savings product that can help protect you against the risk of outliving your assets. It is a contract between you and an insurance company: …you receive future income in return for your contributions. Your assets grow on a tax-deferred basis until they are withdrawn, usually at retirement. You may receive income in a number of ways, including guaranteed payments that will last for as long as you live. Annuities can be a valuable addition to your retirement plan at any stage of life.An annuity is long-term retirement savings product that can help protect you against the risk of outliving your assets.

What is the difference between a qualify annuity and non qualifying annuity?
You mean qualified. It refers to the tax status of the funds inside it. If funds are qualified that is IRS/investment lingo for pre tax money, such as money in a 401K, I…RA, or 403b. Non qualified obviously is money that income tax has already been paid on. Taxes in an annuity are defered until you use the money. In a qualified annuity all of the money would be subject to income tax upon withdrawal. In a non qualified annuity only the gains would be taxed. But since it is tax deferred you pay your income tax rate, not capital gains taxes. The original amount invested is not subject to tax when you withdraw it.

Yes. It is called a 1035 Exchange. We do it all the time. I suggest reviewing your policy every 2 to 3 years to make sure it is still doing what your advisor promised.

Can I regrow my hair? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Can I regrow my hair
You have early recession. Your biggest enemy is the progressive thinning leading to a balding pattern that is not evident at this point in time. The degree of thinning that you are experiencing would suggest that you should see a doctor who most likely will get Bulk Measurements of your hair to determine the degree of the thinning that you are presently having. If the diagnosis is early genetic hair loss (the most common cause of hair loss in young men), then the best treatment would be the drug finasteride which is highly effective in men of your age and may not only stop the hair loss but possibly reverse it. If you are developing a more advanced balding pattern the HAIRCHECK test will determine the Bulk Measurements of your hair and put a number on that hair loss (a metric) and this will show, over a one-year time frame, how effective the treatment will be. Once you know this information, then you and your doctor need to develop a MASTER PLAN which will define what you need to do over the years to come.
Loosing hair from one side
you have no problem about hair loss, you are loosing hair from one side not because of genetic hair loss but because of hormones and frontal hair line maturity.All these are normal for a young boy..

Check your own FBI files and see what they know about You
There are several different ways to try and get character references form numerous different sources. You can always try and use a background check or a criminal or prison record check, but what if you really want to dig deep down. There is another source one can use in order to obtain this type of information. This reference source is a FBI File. There are a couple of different ways to check FBI files but the easiest is to go online.
The FBI is apart of the government and as we all know, the government knows almost everything about us. They may know information that we don't even know about ourselves. It is also common for the FBI to have files on certain people without them even knowing it. You can check this files online and see if they have a file on you or not. There are multiple websites that say that they can check your FBI file for free. This is very untrue however. Whenever you get FBI files, you must pay a fee for this particular service. Most websites are rather inexpensive, costing about thirty dollars or so for unlimited access. This is a great way to get reference information if you are an employer or something of that nature.
When you check FBI files, you can sometimes get some good information about someone's individual background history. You can see if they were in the military or not, or if they did some hideous crime they never told anyone about. You can get some real data about someone when you check own files. If this sound intriguing to you, all you have to do is go online with Net Detective software.

10/24/2002 - e.Digital announced its partnership with Aircraft Protective Systems (APS) to develop and market a portable, hard disk drive-based In-Flight Entertainment, or IFE, system under contract for a leading U.S. airline. APS is in discussions with major motion picture studios to provide content for this device, making it the first portable IFE unit of its kind to be introduced to the airline and travel industry.
The customizable digital video player will feature a variety of entertainment options, including movies, TV shows, and music from which the customer can choose. Passengers will be able to reserve one of these units when they book their flight and can use it while waiting for their flight at the gate as well as on board the plane.
The agreement between APS, and the major U.S. airline calls for e.Digital to manufacture and sell the units through APS, a certified airline service and equipment provider. e.Digital has already received its first payment under the contract, and will receive revenue from non- recurring and recurring service fees plus licensing fees and royalties on each unit. Completion of the device is anticipated in the first quarter of 2003. This contract represents e.Digital's first venture into the In-Flight Entertainment industry; the companies are in discussions with other airlines to implement the system.
Bill Boyer, Jr., President of APS, said, "As a certified airline service and equipment provider, we have established key relationships with major airlines. In our business dealings with these airlines we recognized the substantial cost they would have to incur to upgrade their fleets with embedded IFE systems. Beginning with a major U.S. airline, APS and e.Digital are providing the first portable IFE solution to the airline industry at a significantly reduced cost."
According to Harvey Applebaum, Vice President, Non-Theatrical Sales; and Julian Levin, Executive Vice President, Non-Theatrical and Digital Exhibition at Twentieth Century Fox, "We have been in discussions with APS on this cutting-edge technology. It has great potential to provide a new and complementary method of delivering In-Flight Entertainment to passengers. It also has the capability to provide entertainment options for children."
According to Steve Ferguson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for e.Digital, "The key here is portability. Our product provides the airlines with an alternative to retrofitting their planes with costly embedded In-Flight Entertainment systems. And because it will be a hand-held, customizable device, it will give passengers more entertainment options. It also will give the airlines an advantage in their overall value-added service offerings by providing passengers with personalized entertainment."
Atul Anandpura, Vice President of Research and Development for e.Digital, said, "We are pleased to offer the integration of digital video technology into our already established MicroOSTM-based digital audio player technology. The important criteria for this product are content protection, ease of use, and durability. e.Digital's engineers are well versed with these requirements, and we look forward to bringing about this revolutionary solution for In-Flight Entertainment."
The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that U.S. and foreign air carriers transported 139 million passengers between the U.S. and the rest of the world in 2001. That number indicates the tremendous potential for IFE, given the fact that international flights represent the largest IFE audience.
Revenues in the IFE industry are also predicted to skyrocket in the next decade. The total revenue of IFE in 2000 (including content, hardware, telecommunication and service revenue) is estimated to have been around $2.21 billion--a nine per cent increase from the previous year--compared with just $500 million in 1992, according to market research journal Screen Digest. Furthermore, Boeing estimates that the market for in-flight TV and Internet access will grow to $70 billion over the next 10 years.

April 23, 2005 - After joining the Springfield Cardinals just five days ago, catcher Brad Cresse was sent back to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday morning. Cresse rejoins the Redbirds, where earlier this season, he had appeared in three games, going 2-9 for a .222 batting average. A wrist injury to Memphis Redbirds catcher Cody McKay prompted the move.
Cresse appeared in four games since joining the Cardinals, going 1-14 with three RBIs. Cresse was added to the roster after Springfield catcher Gabe Johnson broke his right knee cap, likely missing 8-10 weeks.
Added to the roster to replace Cresse, will be catcher Jason Motte, who will join the team immediately from Palm Beach of the Florida State League. Motte has appeared in just six games this season, going 2-18 for the Palm Beach Cardinals. Last season, Motte was a Florida State League All-Star, despite hitting .174 with one home run and 24 RBIs in 108 games. Baseball America rated Motte as the best defensive catcher in the Florida State League last year.

So what are the Authors Guild and the publishers complaining about? They're complaining that Google hasn't offered to share the profits that might accrue thanks to ads Google may someday display, or that are attributable to the marginal increase in general Google traffic. But on what basis do they claim entitlement to that brand new revenue stream? The money is not based on the public copying the book -- which is what copyright protects against -- it's based on the public FINDING the book in the first instance.Link
Now I suppose that the Authors Guild folks want to claim that they should get a share of any way of making money related to locating their works. That's an interesting argument, but it's not a copyright claim. If copyright owners approached libraries and demanded a share of library funds because of the existence of the card catalog it would be difficult to stifle the giggles. Yet isn't the same thing going on here? Stealing an analogy from law Prof Tim Wu, we have never given real property owners the right to "opt out" of any mechanism that helps people find their property -- maps. That's just not in the bundle of rights you get when you buy a home and preventing location tools is also not in the bundle of rights that come with copyright.
