(The Hosting News) – Thousands of user's cell phone data is being accessed by a secret program ran by the U.S. Justice Department, in which they are using fake communications towers from airplanes to gather information from both criminals and non-criminals.
According to a report from Reuters, the U.S. Marshals Service program, which began in 2007, uses Cessna jets from five major metropolitan airports to access data.
The aircrafts use devices, also known as "dirtboxes," to collect information by imitating cell phone towers, in which cell phones then reveal their registration data.
The Department would neither confirm nor deny the secret program due to "such discussion would allow criminal suspects or foreign powers to determine U.S. surveillance abilities, but that department agencies comply with federal law," says Reuters.
Sources familiar with the matter noted that the program "let's go" of cell phones that are not of suspect to the Department, adding that data such as location and identifying information can be accessed.

Posh make Ferdinand bid
Skysports.com understands Southend are considering a reported £300,000 bid from Peterborough for Kane Ferdinand.
Last Updated: 15/07/11 12:11pm
Skysports.com understands Southend United are considering a bid from Peterborough for Kane Ferdinand thought to be in the region of £300,000.
The 18-year-old midfielder impressed for Paul Sturrock's side last season after making his debut in January, notching up 22 appearances for the League Two club and scoring two goals.
His performances have attracted the attention of the Posh, who are preparing for life in the Championship after securing promotion from League One last term.
The Shrimpers are reportedly mulling over Peterborough's offer as they weigh up whether to part ways with the youngster.
Ferdinand, a youth product at Roots Hall, is the cousin of Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand and Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand.
The English-born Irish midfielder has represented the Republic of Ireland at both Under-18 and U-19 level.

Asthma inhalers causing deaths - studyJun 20, 2006 | UPI
Three asthma inhalers with salmeterol or formoterol may cause 80 percent of U.S. asthma deaths annually, says a new study.
Because of the possible health risks, these products sold as GlaxoSmithKline's Serevent and Advair, and Novartis' Foradil should be recalled, said researchers at Cornell University and Stanford University.
"These asthma deaths are generally (occurring) in healthy young adults," said Stanford researcher Shelly Salpeter. "We estimate that approximately 4,000 of the 5,000 asthma deaths that occur in the U.S. each year are caused by these long-acting beta-agonists, and we urge that (they) be taken of the market."
The researchers conducted a statistical analysis of 19 published asthma trials involving 33,826 patients and found that people who used salmeterol-based asthma inhalers (Serevent and Advair) or inhalers containing formoterol (Foradil) were 3.5 times more likely to die from asthma.
The team also saw that these same patients were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized than asthma patients using a placebo inhaler.
Both drugs are in a drug class known as long-acting beta-agonists.
The researchers said that, although beta-agonists relieve bronchial spasm, they also promote bronchial inflammation and sensitivity without warning. Although Advair contains an anti-inflammatory to correct this problem, hospitalizations of patients taking Advair were still double those of people who took a placebo plus an anti-inflammatory, the team noted.
The study authors, whose paper appears in the June 20 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, noted that asthma death is relatively rare. Only 15 study patients who were taking the drugs died, compared to three in the placebo group over a six-month period, they said.

Interest in filariasis has found a new impetus now that neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) have their own journal. However, some of the advances published in renowned international journals have completely ignored previous publications on the subject, particularly those in languages other than English. This Viewpoint article is intended to make us ponder the issue of a language gap or discrimination existing in publishing outcomes and reference citations. This is also the question of deleterious effects of the obligation "to be in English or not to be".
The rapid assessment procedure for loiasis (RAPLOA) and the geographical distribution of lymphatic filariasis provide two perfect illustrations of this.
The RAPLOA has recently been widely used to determine the regional endemicity of loiasis and to update existing endemicity data for this disease over its global distribution range. This important work has been recently published in PLOS NTDs [1]. The determination, within a population of the prevalence or, preferably, the annual incidence of episodes, of conjunctival migration by adult worms is a simple, non-invasive, relatively sensitive and specific method for evaluating the endemicity of Loa loa. This approach has proved particularly useful in areas in which both loiasis and onchocerciasis are observed: the mass treatment program to control onchocerciasis is based on the use of ivermectin and there is a risk of adverse treatment outcomes in patients carrying large numbers of L. loa worms [2]. In regions of high endemicity, the correlation between the conjunctival migration index and the microfilarial index is strong overall, both for villages and for age groups. Its use as an epidemiological index was clearly proposed in a publication in 1994 [3]. However, as this article was published in French, in Médecine Tropicale (Marseille), it has never been cited, despite being listed in international databases, including PubMed. A poster communication concerning the same issue had no real impact either, despite being presented at an international congress [4]. The origin of this new epidemiological index (RAPLOA) is systematically attributed to two World Health Organization (WHO) publications in 2001 [5] and 2002 [6]. It is true that the studies reported in these publications validated the concept at a large scale and in different endemic foci.
The usefulness of specific clinical manifestations (eye worm and Calabar swelling) to assess L. loa had been recommended by different authors as early as 1950 [7]. But the correlation between the microfilarial index and the frequency of ocular migration has not been studied, and even less attention was paid to the notion of an epidemiological index until the epidemiological studies carried out in Congo Republic (former People's Republic of the Congo) during the 1980s [8]. However, the index as such was clearly defined in 1994 [3]. Here is a direct translation of an excerpt of the French text published in 1994: "For loiasis, the usual parasitological indices (microfilarial index and mean microfilarial density) are the only measures recognized as providing information about the level of endemicity in humans. In addition to requiring blood samples standardized in terms of both volume and sampling time, these indices do not reflect the real level of parasitism, given the high frequency of infected subjects without microfilaria in the blood. Subjects infested with mature, fertile adult worms, as demonstrated by the removal of a subconjunctival female containing microfilaria from a patient with no detectable microfilaria in the blood, are frequently observed. Two symptoms are both specific and frequent in infected subjects both with and without microfilaria in the blood: subconjunctival migration of an adult worm and elusive, migrating edemas of the hands, wrists and lower part of the forearm" [9]. "The index of subconjunctival filarial migration over the preceding year is particularly useful, because it correlates well with the microfilarial index but is more sensitive" (Figure 1). "Its determination involves precise questioning of the patient, which can be facilitated by the use of a demonstration chart, with diagrams and photographs" (see Figure 2).
Reproduced from Medicine Tropicale [3], released under CC BY 2.0 by Medicine Tropicale. IMSC = Indice de Migration Sous-Conjonctivale in French and Index of the SubConjunctival Migration in English. IM = Indice Microfilarien in French and Microfilarial Index in English.
This illustration (diagram and photograph) was made for presentation to patients questioned in endemic regions.
The conclusion of this article was formulated as follows: "Screening for foci of filarial endemicity could be improved by the use of a simplified method and the validation of simple, inexpensive indices. Once these foci have been identified, a more precise evaluation can be carried out."
What is most astounding about the two WHO publications cited as the origin of this "new epidemiological index" [5], [6] is that the principal authors come from French-speaking African countries and/or work in or with this institution. They would therefore have been able to understand articles written in French. Furthermore, the WHO has a long-standing culture of multilingualism, particularly in English and French.
Against this background, the rejection by the Bulletin of the World Health Organization and by other international journals published in English of an opinion article dealing with this issue and using the example of lymphatic filariasis does not seem to be justified, and is another illustration of "to be in English or not to be."
Indeed, filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti is systematically described as endemic in Congo and Gabon, two French-speaking countries, in non-specialist works on tropical medicine and in more specialist publications (WHO) despite a total absence of epidemiologic studies and/or confirmed case report over the last 30 years to prove it. What is certain is that no case was found when the last studies were conducted in these countries at the end of the 1970s and during the 1980s but unfortunately published in French. The studies that we carried out in the Congo as part of the National Project on Onchocerciasis and Other Filariases (between 1982 and 1987) confirmed the presence of four types of human filariasis: onchocerciasis, loaiasis, and the filariases caused by Mansonella perstans and M. streptocerca. There was a total absence of confirmed cases of lymphatic filariasis (bancroftosis). In this case, it is not a question of the attribution of merit for a particular "discovery", but of basic knowledge of the geographic distribution of a scarcely studied disease, lymphatic filiariasis, in French Central Africa. Taking into account only publications in English, even older and poorly structured data, have been, in our opinion, a source of confusion and has led to false conclusions being drawn about the distribution range of this disease. This undoubtedly highlights the need to update knowledge by carrying out prospective studies (which seem to be underway), but these studies do not seem to be considered a matter of priority given the low levels of resources available and current health priorities.
This has drawn us to publish this article in a French-language journal, but together with an entire translation into English [10]. Despite the bilingual nature of this publication, the international PubMed database identifies this article as being published in French, effectively ensuring that it will never be consulted, a classic "catch 22" situation! Indeed, this reference has never yet been cited by another author in a journal published in English. It may be that publication of an article in another language than English makes it more likely that it will not be cited, even if the authors of a subsequent article have access to the journal in which it was published and can understand the language used. Here, we begin to encroach on ethical problems and it is probably best not to delve too deeply. However, suffice it to say that the limited dissemination of publications in a language other than English may account for such equivocal attitudes.
The problem is not a rivalry between French and English, but the confrontation between English and all other languages of the world. Moreover, the problem is undoubtedly worse for works published in non–Western European languages such as Chinese, Russian, and Japanese, which are arguably even less accessible.
All things considered, this problem may seem a bit outdated, given that all "good authors" now publish exclusively in English. It certainly is outdated for most areas of medicine, where everything that is old is assigned to being nothing more than the history of medicine. But, surely, this should not be the case for NTDs, for which certain long-standing findings are every bit as important as what may be presented as new discoveries.
One possibility would be for certain journals, such as PLOS NTDs, to include a specific heading permitting the publication of older studies that initially appeared in a language other than English (and are therefore currently little known). The texts included in this heading would essentially be English versions of these articles previously published in other languages, respecting the entirety of the original text.
This would concern studies considered of importance because they highlight a point that remains unclear or describe an aspect considered innovative in a review but for which the originality of the article is due more to an incomplete reference list than to a true advance in knowledge. These articles should be judged in light of the knowledge and technical and methodological means available at the time at which they were initially published. Submission should be accompanied by a presentation of the problem, with details and explanatory comments, with submission at the initiative of the authors of the article in question or their students or sympathizers.

The Next Boom: Digital Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the engine behind an innovative always-changing economy that harnesses the individual Entrepreneur. The Entrepreneur is the visionary driver building the framework and guiding this engine through startup obstacles and innovation despondencies. This breed of workers drives economic events through a semiconscious process of intuition and insight, and with a deliberate strategy and an overall vision. The next generation of entrepreneurs — digital entrepreneurs — have been growing due to an ever increasing number of digital customers and internal digital workflows. These fringe players are usually or normally at the top of the field they are in and have experience in most functions within an organization. My prediction: There will be more fringe online entrepreneurs in the next 5 years than ever before. As the digital lifestyle becomes ingrained as a behavioral attribute of the educated, next generation entrepreneurs will be there to capitalize. Just as a gas engine distributes power, control, and a steady comfortable ride, entrepreneurship does the same for its fastest moving driver: the digital entrepreneur.
Can you cut it?
In the United States one in ten people are estimated to be involved in starting a new business or managing, or at least partly owning a business. New emerging markets such as the Internet, personal computers, biotechnology drugs, and services such as overnight package deliveries drive small business. Small companies drive these technological advances and generate more new jobs than any other markets. Did you know that small businesses provide over 75 percent of net new jobs added to the economy, and out of all those small businesses, 39.1 percent of jobs are in the high technology sectors? With such a large amount of opportunity, knowing the art and science behind entrepreneurship and technology is essential.
Digital Entrepreneurs view the world through one or two 19 flat screen monitors. They conduct all normal processes, from internal management and customer relations to public relations through this screen with the same passion that a traditional entrepreneur does with a business like opening a restaurant. The digital entrepreneur understands the digital revolution, views e-everything as more than a billion dollar a year industry. What does it take to be one of these revolutionaries? First of all, a tremendous understanding of the past and current Information Technology. With the Internet and computers getting into their teens there is a history behind computing and a digital life. Their history books will be 30 years old and understand modern proven techniques in management and workflow. There also needs to be a innovative passion for opening new doors and opportunities. There is no concrete mold for an entrepreneur but there is a set of personality traits that is commonly seen. They fit type A personalities. Type As are typically driven, hard-working, self-confident, busy and impatient. In the digital world these type As can be seen writing tech-articles, speaking at conferences, and continuously devoting time analyzing the digital world. On top of devotion to the technology industry you must be dedicated to starting your company from ground zero. This requires being totally dedicated to their businesses, sometimes at considerable cost to their relationship with their friends and family. Over 22.5% of the CEOs of the Inc. 500 got divorced while growing businesses. This goes to say that they lack sensitivity towards others while growing a business. Many times entrepreneurs are impatient and ruthlessly drive themselves and everyone around them. They don't have the tolerance or empathy necessary for team building unless it's their team, and this sometimes affects personal relationships around them. These entrepreneurs know what they are deeply passionate about, what they can be the best at, and knows how to drive their engine. The digital entrepreneur manages this offline and online.
Digital Consumption
It is the digital consumer who is driving technological innovation via the Internet. Flickr.com, a phenomenal Internet 2.0 service that allows sharing of pictures and is experiencing 30% monthly growth in users, was recently acquired by Yahoo! for $35 million. Flickr founder, Stewart Butterfield, describes his 1.2 million members: they live pretty connected lifestyles; for most of the day, they have access to an Internet connection.
Stewart Butterfield and other digital entrepreneurs like himself have developed strategies on the Internet based on this growing digital consumer. IT industries have been growing at more than double the rate of the overall economy a trend that is likely to continue. Investments in IT now represent over 45 percent of all business equipment investment. And with traffic on the Internet doubling every 100 days the iPod carrying, MP3 downloading, video stream watching, blog writing, picture uploading consumer is driving opportunity.
The new digital economy has been described as something that all businesses need to be ready for or, "Businesses that aren't will be toast," says Don Tapscott, author of The Digital Economy (McGraw Hill). The convergence of computing, telecommunications, and content is a real revolution, giving access to a networked economy working in real time and without knowing distances. The digital entrepreneurs view this new network economy as the next generation playing field. With Internet 2.0 applications like Flickr and E-commerce applications like Amazon.com there is a new set of rules that are being made. As technologies continue to expand on one another, the only constant is that creative destruction will continue to dismantle old business models with new ones at a Moore's Law rate.
New Set of Practices, Same Old Rules
In this era, digital entrepreneurship holds to a new set of practices based on an old set of rules. Maintaining old practices like low overhead, high productivity, and minimal ownership of capital assets are all expressed digitally with a new set of tools. Viral communications (company blogs), small business intranets, flight-travel saving collaborative application software, pay-per-use online advertising, and customer relation management software are all best practices fluent to the digital entrepreneur. One of the best seasoned digital entrepreneurs, Jeremy Allaire, founder of ColdFusion and once CTO of Macromedia, recently ventured into monetizing Internet TV with his creation, BrightCove. As well as a top-of-the-line brightcove.com website, he uses a personal and corporate blog where he gets a very efficient and effective PR opportunity for interested customers. On top of that, Jeremy creates a personal blogosphere as he writes for other industry papers like ContentNext and ColdFusion Journal. Jeremy doesn't hide the research he has done and some people might consider giving up valuable market information a poor business practice. You can even view a rather internal Breezo presentation right from Brightcoves PR page. Hiding innovation is a common misnomer, as ideas are a dime a dozen.
William Bygrave, author for The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, tells his would-be entrepreneurs, "Almost any idea that they have will also have occurred to others…developing the idea, implementing it, and building a successful business are the important aspects of entrepreneurship."
Jeremy Allaire and other entrepreneurs that are successful understand that innovation and best practices is always best to give to their community. Just as a rock or movie stars depends upon their audience, the tech industry leaders rely upon their community for fame and fortune. These tech leaders are growing. People with some post-graduate education and between 24 and 35 years of age are the most likely to start a new business. The post-graduates that are coming out of college today behaviorally rely on a digital environment and are receiving curriculums that are just catching up with technology. Combine this growing supply of entrepreneurs with demand — 75% (or 204 million) Americans with a fixed phone line that have home access to the Internet, up from 66% just a year earlier — and their is going to be a convergance of economic activity. It is important to understand that the educated digital entrepreneur is not the next generation of programmers. Rather its the next generation of programming managers that know how to harness their power. They are aware of the fatal assumption that Michael Gerbers teaches in E-Myth, "If you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work." They know it is not efficient to work countless hours programming. Rather they work on growing and managing your business by hiring engineers in the meantime.
Final reason behind the next digital boom in entrepreneurship is that overhead for a small business is lower than ever before. Small digital startups don't have the market barrier that once existed. Open-source and/or very inexpensive software applications, inexpensive computers, and the extensible Internet marketplace are driving a low-cost startup opportunity.
With a large digital consuming market, an educated class of digital entrepreneurs, and low barrier to market; there is going to be more entrepreneurial economic activity than ever seen before.
Next generation entrepreneurship is growing. New digital applications will be grown by digital entrepreneurs. These digital entrepreneurs are more educated with an understanding of the online and offline structure behind a great, well-run organization. The next five years are going to witness more mainstream educated digital entrepreneurs than ever before on the Internet 2.0 highway.

The idea is the easy part! I have seen people come up with ideas that could make them money or give them influence and status — and yet they never get out of their lounge chairs. We call them 'dreamers'. And not with the complimentary tone to our voice as we're doing it.
Unfortunately, the dream is only the first step. I see this in my own, one-man business (search engine optimization). I see it in the large corporations. Ideas that get left on the table because we're too busy, or the funds are not there to start it off.
In bigger businesses, actually, I think there is a need for corporate team building programs to build the strong support networks in-house so the dreamers (now I'm using the complimentary tone of voice) can find the time and budget to start up some of their best ideas. For the long-term good of the corporation.

A look at pages from News Corp's new iPad title

As News Corp unveils the Daily, a US newspaper specifically made for Apple's iPad, technology correspondent Jemima Kiss takes a shuffle thorough the first edition
Ian Betteridge: News Corp's iPad launch offers glitzy graphics, video and live updates at low cost – but will it find a niche?

Peter Preston on press and broadcasting Rupert Murdoch's iPad digital newspaper raises many questions – but who has the answers?iPad and iPhone apps create mini-paywalls around mobile news – so is there a strategy involved, asks Peter Preston

Peter Preston on press and broadcasting Rupert Murdoch's Daily iPad venture looks thin in the profits columnLinking up with Steve Jobs and Apple to produce a pseudo-newspaper on tablet screens is not much of a game-changer

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The day of trial my court appointed lawyer advised me to take a plea from the prosecution. I declined the offer. My lawyer did not summon my witness for the trial so I plead guilty because my case didn't have a chance without the witness.
Strange indeed , because usually you have a day or so before the State rests its case which allows for time to summons the witness. If the witness was not a hostile witness you could have called them and served them with a subpoena at the Courthouse. You may be able to withdraw your plea but you will have to communicate that clearly to your lawyer.Ask a similar question
It is difficult to undo a voluntary plea of guilty, but it can sometimes be done. You need to consult an appellate attorney. That person can review your case and advise you from there.
Macy Jaggers's answer to a legal question on Avvo does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Ms. Jaggers offers everyone a free consultation to discuss their case. Feel free to call her office at 214-365-9800 to make an appointment (phones are answered 24 hours) or visit her website at www.macyjaggers.com for more information about her services and recent victories.Ask a similar question
It can be done, but it can be tougher to do when you pled voluntarily. The judge would have asked you if you were pleading guilty of your own free will, that it was not coerced, and that you understood the consequences of your actions. The purpose of them asking these questions at your plea is to help avoid situations just like this.

Yep, those Cobra GT3 seats look damn good. How heavy are they? Looks like they're made from steel tubing, so I'm guessing not that light.
They remind me a bit of these - http://www.classiccarseats.com/ - although these are made of (I believe) either FG or CF, and the price reflects that at over $1000 per seat. But if you want high quality, lightweight, period correct seats, I'd say that's your best bet. The GT3 seats look like a great option for less money though.

Excellent tour of east and central Australia
The itinerary, excursions,hotels, meals were excellent (and we went on all the excursions). The tour director Matt Charlton was the heart and soul of the trip, and made it all come alive through his knowledge and his spirit. The two most special parts were having Tina, an aborigine elder, as our driver for Uluru, and the visit to the Great Barrier Reef. My wife rented an underwater camera and proved to herself that she had not forgotten how to snorkel, while taking the best photos of the trip. The locations of the hotels was excellent for our needs, and close to restaurants we needed to patronize since half of the meals were not provided, but for A little extra effort as well as money they added to the total experience. I would gladly recommend "Australia--the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney" and Matt Charlton as tour director to anyone. We had been disappointed that there was no pretrial or post trip option for Tasmania but we found Susie de Carteret's "Tasmanian Odyssey" where she set up a drive-yourself tour of just what we wanted, which wss better for our purposes than OAT's Tasmania pretrip and recommend it for people who want Tasmania, although it required driving Brit-style.
Hi Richard! We're so glad you had a wonderful time in Australia! It's great to know that your Tour Director added value and enjoyment to your trip. We will be sure to let him know. We're also glad to hear which moments of the trip stood out to you, such as visiting the Great Barrier Reef. There are certainly a wide range of iconic activities to experience throughout Australia! Thank you for recommending this tour, Richard. We hope to welcome you on tour again!

Trip worth taking!!
What made the trip one to remember was our tour director, Luke. He was very personable, organized and knowledgeable. From the time he met us at the airport in Melbourne until he said goodbye to us in Sydney he was a positive force. The weather was perfect (except for our sunset viewing of Ayers Rock when it was cloudy, but the champagne helped!) and being in Australia to celebrate the New Year "early" was a treat.
Hi Margie! We're thrilled to learn that your Tour Director was a highlight for you. We are truly lucky to have such a fantastic team, and we will be sure to pass along your kind feedback. It's great to know that, for the most part, you experienced perfect weather (and when you didn't, you had some champagne to make up for it)! Thank you for taking the time to review your trip. Let us know when you're ready to travel again!

Outback travels
Celebrating 25 years with my hubby made this trip that much more special. The excursions are well worth adding to the trip. Couldn't pick one favorite place because each stop had it's own beautiful unique experience. Having the ability to swim in The Great Barrier Reef made us want to stay longer. Jason (TD) did an outstanding job. Very organized and we listened to every suggestion he made. He never steered us wrong. Hot jam donuts at Victoria market were addicting.
Hi Kathleen! Congratulations to you and your husband on twenty-five years! Visiting Australia is such a wonderful way to celebrate. We're glad you two enjoyed the various excursions and sites along the way. It's also great to know that your Tour Director did an outstanding job and provided great suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to review your tour. We look forward to welcoming you on your next tour in 2018!

The Best Tour Director!
We took the Australia trip (did not know the trip went on to New Zealand!) this past April 2016. Dan R was our tour director - an outstanding tour leader! He is knowledgeable about what we saw and did, very organized, and so personable! The Outback was especially memorable! We enjoyed the cities of Melbourne and Sydney, and we had a good day on the Great Barrier Reef. Amazing! We did not take all the add on side trips, but the ones we took were very good. The hotel accommodations were excellent, the flights were good, the coach rides were also very good. The tour includes a great breakfast everyday - so nice. Only two dinners were included. This was our first planned tour and we can't wait to do another.

Much more than I expected!
This trip was so amazing! It was an educational, jam-packed fun-filled experience. Our tour guide Vic went above and beyond what I expected in a tour guide. He educated us about all things Australian. He was funny and extremely organized. Everyone on our tour got along perfectly and I have made some new friends. This was our 30 year anniversary and it was perfect!
Hi Norma! Congratulations on your anniversary! We're honored that you would celebrate with a Go Ahead tour. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Australia and that you made some new friends in your group. We're also pleased to learn that your Tour Director went above and beyond for you. Thank you for your wonderful review, and we hope to welcome you on tour again soon!

Best trip ever!
This trip was awesome. The itinerary captured the perfect balance of city, nature, beach, desert. Tour guide was amazing, group was so fun. I can't wait to go back some day!
Trip of a Lifetime
Sladjana, our tour guide, was exceptional! She worked tirelessly for each member of the group to add on tours, recommend restaurants, and make sure everyone had a great time. She watched after everyone and made sure no one was left behind. She went beyond the call of duty by providing treats for us along the way. This really was the trip of a lifetime!

best tour director
Mick was a great director. He was fun and very helpful to all of the travelers needs. I would like to have had one more day in Sydney. One free day there to do a show at the Opera House would have been the cherry on the sunday.
"Sludge" was Superb ! !
Our Tour Director asked to be called "Sludge" - but we all concluded she should be called superb! We were treated to her extensive knowledge, sense of fun and sensitivity to varied tastes and expectations throughout. In a country of contrasts we saw urban and outback delights - always well beyond reasonable expectations. When a group on the Wine Tasting option disclosed they did not like wine at all, a stop at a fabulous chocolate outlet was added to the day. She shared her trick for avoiding sea-sickness on the boat to the Great Barrier Reef and made sure we all had a good time going there, being there and coming back from this unique locale. At the Sydney Opera House we had a wonderful tour, topped off by her instruction to visit the fabulously beautiful ladies room (not part of the standard tour, and very worthy addition). There were so many special moments like that, due to her in-depth knowledge, that the entire tour was enriched well beyond the advance itinerary.
GREAT trip!
This was my first tour with GoAhead tours but it will not be my last. This tour was AMAZING!! Our Tour Director Simon was so knowledgable, helpful, and fun! There were 23 people on our tour and Simon was able to answer every question we had in great detail. We had just enough free time and the optionals were all worth the extra money. I highly recommend the Penguin Parade and balloon ride in the outback, they were the highlights of our trip. The Great Barrier Reef was my favorite day- an enjoyable scenic boat ride out to the reef and many options including snorkeling, glass bottom boat ride, helicopter ride, and scuba once you get to the reef. Each hotel was in a great location and had very nice rooms and breakfasts. Most of our hotels either had free wifi or free wifi for about 30 minutes a day. I have zero complaints. Suggestions to future travelers on this tour: If you get motion sickness take medicine before heading out to the great barrier reef, pack comfortable shoes (its an active tour), and be sure to pack some extra money for the day for optional things such as camel riding!
Excellent tour itinerary and best tour director
Going into this tour I was skeptical about Melbourne. It wasn't at the top of my list but what a little gem she turned out to be. We were centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions. The cities trolley system could take you just about anywhere and if you look for the red city circle line it's free. Alice springs was fabulous. The visit to the telegraph station and royal flying doctors service was incredible. But the school of the air was a real impressive setup. We visited a camel farm and for a small fee were able to ride the camel. It was super fun and completely optional At Ayers Rock and the Olga's we toured the magnificence of these colossal stone mounds. Our drive, certified to lead tours of the aboriginal culture was a wealth of information. It was unfortunate that the winds were too high for our hot air balloon ride to take off but we did see a spectacular sunrise. Cairns was a small disappointment as it rained on our trip to the GBR. Many folks got sick on the boat and although the staff were top notch in keeping the scene under control, it was difficult for many. The snorkeling was great but I'd like to suggest that you take the introductory dive opportunity. It cost 130.00 and included lesson and a dive with a certified instructor. It was worth the extra money The day trip to Kuranda was really fun. Wandering through and above the rainforest is a must see experience. If you are lucky, you may get a gondola with a glass bottom. The view is awesome. Sydney at darling harbor was the best you would expect it to be. Very warm and accommodating.
Total trip
I am always looking for my next adventure. This was the best one I have had so far and I have been all over the world! Thanks. It was on my bucket list!
A MUST Destination for your Bucket List
Loved the tour but was very dissatisfied with the Go Ahead Tours customer service representatives which is why I can only make a conditional recommendation for this tour. First the good news: we had a superior tour director named Luke. He was able to handle a very large group (42 mostly Seniors) with utmost professionalism and courtesy. The tour itself, as Dr. Seuss would say, " Oh, The Places You'll Go! ". Must see/do - Parade of the precious Little Penguins on Phillip Island, dining on the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant in Melbourne (make a reservation before you go!), riding a camel in the Outback, taking in awesome Ayers Rock (Uluru) and The Olgas (Kata Tjuta), snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef (immersed in this wonderland of coral of all shapes and sizes was my favorite experience), strolling around the beautiful Sydney Darling Harbour, touching a Koala in the Featherdale Wildlife Park and taking a guided tour of the Opera House (if you get Steven as a guide, you will be very, very lucky – he is a wonderful orator). Now the bad news: If you are a traveler that will accept the Go Ahead package without question, then Go Ahead will be fine for you. If you want a little more service, forget it. Things I extremely dislike about the Go Ahead customer service experience: 1) Once you book, the service goes downhill. You call with a question and you rarely get the same person. Many times you get put on hold or go to voicemail. 2) The customer service representatives were of very little help securing the airline seats we wanted and ensuring our frequent flyer #'s were on the reservation. Yes, Go Ahead's rules and regulations say it is up to the customer to do this – and the customer service representatives will remind you every time you speak to them – but it is an inconvenience which adds more stress to the experience. In fact, after the tour was completely paid for (about two months before the trip), we still couldn't reserve our seats because the airline told us Go Ahead had not ticketed us yet. More phone calls, more stress until our seats were confirmed. 3) The customer service representatives were of little help in finding out if we could book a helicopter tour over Ayers Rock. If it is not one of their approved optional tours, forget about getting any service. The Australia: The Great Barrier Reef to Sydney tour has been offered for years and you would think a customer service representative would know if there was time to take an Ayers Rock helicopter ride. One said there probably wouldn't be but when I pressed them and make a reservation with a helicopter company on my own, one of the customer service representatives finally got a hold of Luke and confirmed we could take a sunrise helicopter ride over The Rock. Again, more emails, more stress and a week to resolve!!! 4) My companion was flying out of Newark and snow was threatening the day we would leave for Australia. Newark closes at the drop of a snowflake. She wanted to leave a day early and stay overnight in LA. She called Go Ahead and was given a total runaround – Go Ahead told her to call the airline, the airline told her they couldn't change her reservation and gave her the EF/Go Ahead booking agent's number, the booking agent told her to call Go Ahead. A complete circle! At this point, my friend went ballistic and the agent put her in contact with a Go Ahead agent that finally got her flight change (and it was the right decision, because my friend got to LA the day before the trip and, true to form, Newark cancelled her original flight the next day). 5) Go Ahead books too many people in a tour. By the end of the second week, about a third of the Seniors decided not to go on the Blue Mountains optional excursion. Thirty people in the cramped Sydney tour bus was so much nicer than 42. I have gone on tours which were a great value, you had one point of contact for customer service, you could reserve your airline seat months in advance and the agent was knowledgeable enough to answer questions or get back to you right away and also was able to book other tours not in the package. If Go Ahead could do this – and on your FIRST trip, not after you book "X" number of trips – I could recommend them.
Beyond my expectations!
I really expected snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, walking about the majestic Ayers Rock, and seeing the beautiful Opera House to be fantastic, and they were! The rest of the tour surprisingly exceeded my expectations! The Olgas were just as huge and majestic as Ayers Rock. The beauty of the outback was amazing. The very remote Alice Springs was interestingly comforting. Sydney, despite being a huge city, was a wonderful surprise with it's clean, safe, easy streets to walk, it's well kept parks to roam within, and it's Darling Harbour that is delightfully inviting. Our tour director, Luke, did a fantastic job of keeping us well organized, and giving us interesting information on each site. One of our bus drivers, Darren, that we had for 3 days was amazing with his singing, and with his humor. The hotels were wonderful! We signed up for most of the optional tours and enjoyed each of them. Once again, Go Ahead Tours has taken us on an exciting adventure!
Best Tour Director and Tour
Luke was excellent! Not only was he knowledgeable but he was even tempered and extremely positive. He took care of all of our needs and made everyone feel valued. This trip was also a wonderful way to see Australia. We saw it's total diversity from east, north, south and the Outback in between.
Great Tour to Australia
Our tour director, Simon, was so organized and helpful on this 14 day trip. There were plenty of outside things to do as well as planned excursions. Although expensive, Australia was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We did pay $17 once for a hamburger, fries and a coke. You can plan around that with creativity. The hotels were great as well as transportation. Since we left from DFW we had a direct fllight to Brisbane, then another short flight to Cairnes. What a relief as, last year, on a different tour company, it took us four flights to get home from Hanoi. Not fun at all. You will love the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback and the city tours as well, such as the Opera House. Not to be missed is the Featherdale Wildlife park. I was so dellighted to see the blue Fairy penguins in the park. We were not allowed to take photos of them in the wild but it was still amazing to see these little creatures coming out of the ocean at dusk and to see them travel to their burrows. All in all it was a wonderful trip that I will be able to use in teaching World Geography classes.
Group too big
This was a once in a lifetime 20th anniversary tour for us. When I was looking for a group to go with, one of the things that I did not want was to have a very large group. I specifically asked via e-mail what the cap was on this trip and I was assured, again, in writing via e-mail that the cap was 20 people. When you are getting off and on a bus, the more people there is, the longer it takes. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed everyone that was on the tour, but we did have 41 people. That is over double the cap number!! I was very disappointed that this customer representative of Go Ahead would misrepresent something like that just to make a sale. But as for the trip itself, it was wonderful. For me the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef were the highlights. The cities were nice, but once you have been in one city, you have been in all cities. Our tour guide Sladjana was absolutely amazing!! She always went above and beyond the call of duty, even lending us her camera when we lost ours on one of our flights. Con and Gerry in the Outback were great. The wine tasting could have been done more towards the beginning of the tour, just because it tended to loosen people up and was a great ice-breaker. More time could have been spent at the Markets, but overall this was a good experience. I would definitely recommend Australia as a destination, but just remember that even if you have it in writing, it doesn't mean that it is a fact :(
Dear Jennifer, We understand that smaller groups make for better, more immersive travel experiences. That's why we introduced 'Right Size Advantage' in 2014. This policy means we cap our tours well below the industry standard of 45 travelers. Our Right Size Advantage defines each tour's ideal size and means you'll enjoy groups of 14 to 35 travelers, never more. Whether you're embarking on a safari in the Serengeti or seeing the iconic landmarks of Rome, each adventure has its own Right Size. Thank you for sharing this valuable feedback with us, which influenced our decision to make this change. We hope to welcome you on tour again.

Great Trip-Great Value
A wonderful way for the first time traveller to experience Australia. We covered a large amount of the country and had great encounters with all types of wildlife, other cultures and lovely scenery. I definitely recommend this trip!

I just returned from Raleigh last week. The Ribbon is hung and looking brilliant. The real-life manifestation of most architectural elements falls short of the initial renderings, but I have to say, in this case it surpasses them. None of us had any idea what a stunning object this would be. It actually looks likes it's floating. And the atrium itself is a gorgeous space, full of light and reflections. Bill and Jeff—along with Greg, Jeremy, and Curtis, their rigging team—did an amazing job installing the piece.
The hours before noon seem to be the best viewing hours for the piece. The atrium is filled with sunlight and the animations are highly legible. There are some beautiful refractive artifacts with the glass. Depending on your viewing angle, you can see all kinds of blues and greens. David Weiner and his team focused their spotlights on the piece, which makes for some excellent shadows.
We're looking forward to seeing all the other exhibits in their completed state. Dave Small and Avi Weinstein from Small Design Firm were down there working on their interactives. And Batwin & Robin was busy putting the finishing touches on the Daily Planet projection and light show.
We're headed down for one more trip to complete the animation and sound design. Then the public 24-hour opening on April 20. We'll be shooting some proper footage and making a reel of the piece. I can't wait to see some kids' reactions to this thing.

Driving to Villa Blanca from La Fortune
Mar 24, 2013, 11:58 PM
What is the most interesting drive to Villa Blanca in San Ramon from La Fortuna? We have a 11 month old and a 3.5 year old, so we don't want to take all day, but we could do a few stops on the way down. Thanks!

Above, the cover and the score sheet from a January 5, 1942, Cornell-Syracuse game program. Below, some news and notes for Tuesday...
- TheMasonBench.com interviewed George Mason head coach, Jim Larranaga. Below is an excerpt of the interview:
TMB: Since you have been at Mason, you've had some special bonds with some of your assistant coaches. One that has stood out in my mind is the relationship you have with Bill Courtney. Coach Courtney was very complementary of you during his press conference at Cornell. How excited were you when you heard the news that Bill was named head coach at Cornell?
Coach L: "Bill was an instrumental part of our program from 1997 to 2005. Before that, I hired him to be my assistant at Bowling Green State University. During those nine years we became very close. We spent a lot of time together on the court and off the court. We traveled a good bit together on the circuit recruiting, so I really got to know Bill and appreciate him and value his contribution to our program.
When the head coaching job at Columbia opened up, Bill had called me and asked if I knew anyone in New York that might be able to help him get involved with the Columbia job. I told him I would check with some friends and one of the guys I called happened to be a Cornell grad and he lives in New York City. I said to him I have a great candidate for the Columbia job and do you know anybody there? He said, "Wait, what about Cornell?" So, he made a call and was able to get him on the list of candidates. The Athletic Director ended up calling me and asking me for a recommendation. I gave him the highest endorsement I could and Bill ended up obviously doing a great job on the interview and ultimately accepted the position. I'm very, very excited and happy for him."
TMB: Recently, your son Jay was named an assistant coach at Cornell. When he told you that he wanted to get into coaching, was this something you were excited about or were you more cautious because you know how tough a profession coaching can be?
Coach L: "Well, when Bill came to Bowling Green State University my son Jay was a senior on that team. Bill had the opportunity to coach him for that year. When we moved on to George Mason University, Jay moved on to play professional basketball. While Jay was living in France, Bill and his wife got married and they honeymooned where Jay and his wife were living. They became very good fiends and continued to be good friends. When Bill was offered the job, Jay made him aware of his interest to get into college coaching.
I would have been excited for Jay no matter what profession he choose to pursue... Jay had the experience of coaching the Irish National team the last two summers. I'm very happy and excited for him. I think it's wonderful that Jay and Bill Courtney will be working together. Bill will be a wonderful mentor for Jay in teaching him what college coaching is all about, but I also think Jay will be a tremendous contributor for Bill because he's got an outstanding basketball mind and he's a very good teacher and knows the game."
- The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes, "Sophomore Chris Wroblewski had 12 points and three rebounds in Cornell's 87-69 victory over UW in March in Jacksonville, Fla. Senior Louis Dale was the primary point guard but Wroblewski played both guard spots and should be the No. 1 point guard for the Big Red next season."
- We made an edit to the tentative 2010-2011 schedule that we previously posted. We are told that Cornell's meeting with St. Bonaventure is a home game in Newman Arena.
- The Dagger of Yahoo Sports speaks with Dave Bliss (Cornell '65).

Systèmes d'emploi français et britannique : Evolutions entre 1980 et 2001
The aim of this research is to study the modification of French and British employment system segmentation from years 1980's to 2000's. Based on a multiple correspondence analysis form national labour force surveys in 1982-83 and 2001, this work brings in light the evolution from a ternary structure of these systems to a fourfold division of their labour market with the appearance of a "stable secondary market".
