I am thinking of working on a Rails application that uses PostgreSQL. I have some questions before I am comfortable using Rails:
- Is PostgreSQL support in Rails less superior than, say, MySQL.
- Would it feel any different if using PostgreSQL?
- Are there any cases where using PostgreSQL fail to work?

Simon & Seacrest to Donate Paychecks to Idol Gives Back
April 09, 2008 05:52 AM by Jennifer_Brown
Say what you want about American Idol's cranky Brit judge, Simon Cowell, when it comes to giving praise to Idol contestants. But one thing you must say about him is, when it comes to charity, he's definitely willing to give.
Two weeks ago, Cowell paid big for a shopping spree with Ivanka Trump to support Celebrity Apprentice winner, Piers Morgan's, charity of choice, The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
This week it's Idol's turn to go charitable, and Simon's got his wallet out once again. Yesterday, he revealed that he'll be donating a day's pay to Idol Gives Back. Cowell, who traveled across the U.S. and through Africa during last year's Idol Gives Back, was touched by the children living in extreme conditions, as was host Ryan Seacrest. In fact, earlier this week Seacrest announced that he, too, will be donating his paycheck this year to the cause.
Funds raised during Idol Gives Back will go to many children's charities, such as The Children's Defense Fund and Save the Children.
Idol Gives Back will air Wednesday, April 9th at 8:00 PM (ET) on FOX.

If we are running some 700x32 tires, do you think we'd be ok running on this sort of road? Most of our riding is on pavement, but to get to some of the really good places, you gotta ride here...!

There is this classic rule: no matter how much money one pumps into a project could guarantee a design's success. It was stunning to watch super cars such as Ferrari 458 Italia getting engulfed in fire just because of a silly glue issue in their wheel assemblies
Had the Engineers got it correctly, 8 million customers wouldn't be crying today because of the Intel's Sandy Bridge chipset's SATA bug (P67 Motherboards). It will cost $1 Billion dollars to Intel for that Design error - sending over-voltage only to a single Transistor spelled the doom! Sadly, am an affected customer too.
So, that loop must happen every time at every organization which mainly designs and makes something best. Hope this helps in understanding a little more about the Rider/Engineer relationship.

Signs of an asthma attack
If you do not know if you have asthma, these 4 symptoms could be signs that you do:
- Coughing that sometimes wakes you up at night.
- Wheezing, or a whistling sound when you breathe. You may hear it more when you breathe out. It can start as a low-sounding whistle and get higher.
- Breathing problems that include having shortness of breath, feeling like you are out of breath, gasping for air, having trouble breathing out, or breathing faster than normal. When breathing gets very difficult, the skin of your chest and neck may suck inward.
- Chest tightness
Other warning signs
Other early warning signs of an asthma attack are:
- An itchy neck
- Dark bags under your eyes
- Fatigue
- Being short-tempered or irritable
- Feeling nervous or edgy
Danger signs
Call 9-1-1 right away if you have any of the following symptoms. These are signs of a serious medical emergency.
- You are having trouble walking or talking because it is so hard to breathe.
- You are hunching over.
- Your lips or fingernails are blue or gray.
- You are confused or less responsive than usual.
If your child has asthma, the child's caregivers must know to call 9-1-1 if your child has any of these symptoms. This includes teachers, babysitters, and others who take care of your child.

After all, their boss, President Barack Obama, has told both Congress and the American people repeatedly that what the law says means virtually nothing to him. His policy has been to rewrite the statute books at will.

Three patients with papilledema, asterixis, and impairment of consciousness secondary to hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and right- and left-sided heart failure were observed for 6 yr after the first appearance of these signs. Although two of the patients required rehospitalization because of recurrence of papilledema and cardiopulmonary failure, each is still living and enjoying varying degrees of activity. The results of pulmonary function studies made recently did not differ appreciably from those carried out 6 yr previously. Papilledema occurring in the course of cardiopulmonary failure did not appear to alter the prognosis in the cases observed, and it seems likely that the outcome is largely dependent on the course of the underlying pulmonary disease. Vigorous treatment of episodic acute cardiopulmonary failure has made possible a considerably improved prognosis.

Sept. 28, 2012
EUGENE, Ore. - Junior middle blocker Erin Redd turned in a match-high six blocks, but the University of Utah volleyball team lost a three-set decision (15-25, 21-25, 22-25) to No. 2 Oregon on Friday at Matthew Knight Arena.
Utah (9-7, 0-3 Pac-12) outblocked Oregon, 12.0 to 4.0, but the Ducks earned a .279 to .163 advantage in team hitting over the Utes during the match.
Redd posted six block assists, while both junior outside hitter Morgan Odale (two block solos and two block assists) and sophomore right-side hitter Shelby Dalton (four block assists) registered four blocks apiece.
Sophomore Lea Adolph earned her fourth start of the season and the 17th of her career at libero for Utah and rounded up a team-high 12 digs,
Dalton turned in a team-high eight kills with a .286 hitting percentage. On 21 attempts, Dalton committed just a pair of errors.
Freshman Kendall Cygan served up a career-high three aces, which led all players in the match.
Cygan and senior McKenzie Odale split the setting duties with 12 assists apiece.
Odale added seven kills on 22 swings with two errors for a .227 hitting percentage to go along with seven digs.
The Ducks scored the first three points of the opening set and built their lead to five, at 17-12, but Utah took three of the next four points to cut its deficit to four points (18-14). Unfortunately, the Utes could get no closer and fell 25-14. The Utes hit .333 in the opener, but the Ducks claimed a .385 mark.
Utah fell behind 4-2, but roared back with a 4-0 to grab the lead for the first time in the match at 6-4. The set would be tied four more times, the last time coming at 11 points apiece, before the Utes took three straight points to grab a 14-11 advantage. Utah led by as many as five (17-12) after taking five consecutive scores to tie the frame two more times (20-20), but Oregon reeled off five of the last six points of the set to grab a 25-21 second-set victory.
No. 2 Oregon (12-0, 3-0 Pac-12) was led by 16 kills from Alaina Bergsma, who also compiled a .343 hitting percentage. Lauren Plum set up the Duck attack with 37 assists, while Haley Jacob turned up 13 digs.
The Utes continue their road trip through the northwest on Sunday against Oregon State. First serve from Corvallis set for 11:30 a.m. PT.

The thought of winning a tie-break and then a third set was just tooo much for her. Of course she planned it, because that's just the celebrity wanna be part of her. Who ever thought a popular athlete could be a celebrity?

Amazing what ridiculous ideas people will come up with when they simply don't like someone. She must have been faking those tears about her sister too .. cha ching? Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

There was no chance of her actually thinking she'd win the USO and then go on her book tour. I'm sure she's relishing looking unhinged in that moment, facing fine, possible suspension and apologizing profusely.

No. I too thought she had deliberately defaulted the match, no only because she didn't want to lose to Kim but she also knew it would be great publicity for her new book. Just look at all the attention she's received over the past few days because of her "meltdown".

Serena gets phonier every year. A celebrity-wannabe. Guess I'm just cynical. Or maybe a realist.

There was some sad news in the Mollusk household this week. My dearest riding partner died at the tender age of 26. I am speaking of my beloved Brooks Pro saddle, of course.
I had bought this saddle back when I was a graduate student at the University of Illinois in 1980. It was initially mated to my first road bike - an cheap Peugeot. The cost of the saddle was more than 50% of the cost of the bike when new!
The saddle (and Peugeot) came down to Gainesville with me when I started working at UF in 1982. In 1983 I bought a REAL road bike (a celeste Bianchi) and the Brooks Pro was moved to my new ride. In 1986 my beloved Bianchi was stolen and I bought a Cannondale with the insurance proceeds and some more $'s. A few months later the stolen bike was recovered, but I didn't have the $'s on hand to buy it back. I did have the $'s to buy the saddle, however, and so I was reunited with my old friend.
This past December I finally bought a "modern" bike - a used 2002 Lemond Zurich. I rode that bike with it's stock saddle for quite some time but became increasing annoyed that my bike shorts were wearing out holes within 1000 miles. I finally figured out that the stitching on the saddle was in just the wrong place and that was the reason, so I moved my trusted old friend over to my new ride. At that time I was aware of a small "check" in the leather near one of the rivets, but I was hoping that the crack wouldn't propagate too fast. Well, that hope was in vain. 26 years and over 100K miles with the best riding partner I have ever had and now it is over.
This past weekend I bought on Ebay a very lightly used Fizik Arione. I wanted a saddle with a long nose like the Brooks Pro because I ride aggressively and in the drops a lot. Today there was a package on my screen porch that seemed to be empty. In fact it was the saddle! Dang it is light compared to the Brooks! Of course I immediately mounted it on the bike and took it out for a nice 12 mile/20 mph test ride.
First "impression" is that I think this is the start of a wonderful new friendship.

Oklahoma State football: Denton Guyer product Jimmy Bean joins J.W. Walsh, Josh Stewart as promising Cowboys
The Denton Guyer pipeline has already been a rewarding one for Oklahoma State, pumping out two key offensive weapons – J.W. Walsh and Josh Stewart – from the 2011 class.
And the gifts just keep on coming.
Defensive end Jimmy Bean, a fellow 2011 commit and high school teammate of Walsh and Stewart, had his best performance Saturday since arriving in Stillwater, compiling two sacks and a fumble recovery during a dominant defensive effort at OSU's spring game.
In a vanilla game void of any eye-popping plays, Bean stood out, using his rare speed and burst to wreak havoc off the edge of the defensive line.
"I was out there and able to show the coaches what I could do in a game situation with all the fans watching," Bean said.
And for Bean, that's a positive start.
Last season, in what was supposed to be a breakout sophomore year, Bean dislocated his knee in the fall.
He tried to come back, even getting some snaps in the Lafayette game, but it never felt right.
"It set me back," Bean admitted. "When I came off the injury, if you come back off any injury, you're going to be iffy on it."
So OSU redshirted him, allowing his knee time to completely heal. And it started to feel full strength, Bean said, right after the bowl game, giving him time to train for spring ball.
It has showed, not just in Saturday's game.
"He's had a good offseason," OSU coach Mike Gundy said. "He has a long way to go, but he has a good frame, a good motor and his attitude is really good."
And as long as he stays healthy, the former three-star lineman should have a chance to make a big impact.
Bean is a lanky 6-foot-5, tall for a defensive end, and 245 pounds, describing his style with one word: "I'm just speed, a speed rusher. Speed, that's all it is."
And that rare skill set gives him a chance to continue the Denton Guyer legacy in 2013, adding a sprinkle of North Texas to the defensive side of the ball.
"In the beginning, it was tough," Bean said of watching his former high school teammates play well without him last year. "But now it just motivates me to come out and shine with them, be part of the three."

Point Roberts, Washington, is the most appealing resort community in the Vancouver, BC area — and probably
Just five square miles in size, "the Point," as locals call it, is a peninsula that is attached to the Canadian mainland at the top of the Georgia Strait with spectacular views of the San Juan and Gulf Islands . Surrounded on three sides by water, Point Roberts is rimmed with beaches and offers miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails, a world class marina, an 18-hole golf course, a variety of dining and shopping choices, an art gallery, and four State parks.
its best kept secret! It captures the spirit of an earlier time, one of friendliness, open spaces,
fresh air and good old-fashioned fun.
Our small population also includes eagles, orca whales, seabirds, bunnies and other benign wildlife. Conveniently located just 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver and ten minutes from the ferry to Vancouver Island/Victoria and Nanaimo , a wide variety of shopping, sightseeing and cultural amenities are readily available. In the winter months skiing is only 45 minutes away, and Whistler is just under two hours.
Getting to the Point is easy. Visitors and locals utilize Vancouver International Airport (YVR – 25 minutes) and Bellingham International (BLI – about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the border traffic) and there is an airstrip, which is serviced from Bellingham. We do have a border to cross to enter Point Roberts, so passports are required. Those who wish to come by sea will find the Marina has slips for visitors, and US Customs will come to the dock to clear international visitors.

Globe Trot: New Iranian president pledges moderation
Newly elected Iranian President Hassan Rohani said his June 14 win was a "victory of wisdom and moderation" over "extremism and immorality." He pledged to bring peace, stability, and "expansion of ties" with the world. Rohani got a surprising surge of support after reformist leaders, denied votes in 2009 elections, rallied behind him. While he may publicly move Iran away from the radical posturing of outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he is unlikely to shift Iran's policy on nuclear weapons and other issues—areas technically controlled by the ruling ayatollahs on Iran's Guardian Council.
But the feeling on the streets in Tehran was positive: "Eight years of humiliation of having [Ahmadinejad] are finally over, " said a 31-year-old graduate of photography. "Regardless of what Rohani can do, it is important that we will not feel ashamed any more when our president's image is shown in the world."
Finding a settlement to over two years' civil war in Syria dominates the G8 summit in Northern Ireland that begins today. British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama will use Northern Ireland as an example of reconciliation and peace possible among warring ethnic and religious factions.
But Russia has no interest in negotiating the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, argues John Bolton: "While Mr. Obama sleepwalks, Mr. Putin is ardently pursuing Russia's Middle East objectives. He has always been clear about his larger goals.
Obama is sleepwalking the U.S. into another war, with potentially greater consequences than the war in Iraq as it puts the U.S. in a proxy war with Russia and Iran, between Shiite and Sunni factions, writes scholar Ramzy Mardini in this must-read:
The responsible role of a lone superpower is not to pick sides in a civil war; it's to help enable conflict resolution while maintaining a policy of neutrality. Instead, the United States came down on one side of a regional sectarian conflict, inadvertently fomenting Sunni hubris and Shiite fear — the same effects (but in reverse) caused by America's involvement in the Iraq war.
A big clue things are headed in the wrong direction: Bill Clinton and John McCain agree that U.S. intervention in Syria is necessary.
Nelson Mandela remains hospitalized for a lung infection in South Africa. The 94-year-old, anti-apartheid hero has received thousands of cards, letters, tweets, and songs, his family said, during 10 days' hospitalization.
Edward Snowden did the right thing in blowing the cover on a massive NSA surveillance regime, say three NSA veterans who have tried for years to serve as whistleblowers. The trio have faced federal prosecution while trying to remain inside NSA and in the United States, and have had more direct contact with what one calls "a very systemic, very broad, a Leviathan surveillance state" than Snowden.
William Binney, a cryptographer with 40 years' experience at NSA, said the three have been "trying to get the government to recognize the unconstitutional, illegal activity that they were doing and openly admit that and devise certain ways that would be constitutionally and legally acceptable to achieve the ends they were really after. And that just failed totally because no one in Congress or — we couldn't get anybody in the courts, and certainly the Department of Justice and inspector general's office didn't pay any attention to it."

I've got the older Flash-Point FP60s with the black spokes (20f/24r) laced in a 2-cross pattern, but I reckon they're a bit flexy, and definitely much more so than all my 32-spoke alu wheels, which is very annoying. I'm 85kg (187lb)
The new FP60s are radial front and on the left side of the rear, so.....??????
Will I notice any difference?

transformation confusions
I wonder if someone would have time to clear up some confusions for me please?
1. The Vphot admin page allows input of several TC's - do the 'Filter band coefficients' equate to Tv Tb and Tr etc?
2. I assume the 'colour index coefficients' are self explanatory (e.g. Tbv for b-v)
3. I am most confused however with Tv, Tb etc - surely these will be airmass dependant if they are simply slope of for example Tv (catalogue Vmag - measured vmag) versus CB-CV.
4. I don't get airmass in my fits but i see vphot calculates it - however, this calculated airmass is not translated to reports for time series I do - is it possible to have the calculated airmass tranferred to time series reports?
Thanks in advance if anyone has the time,
Hi Martyn
Photometric data reduction consists of 4 parts.
raw magnitude,
color transformation (Tv etc)
extinction (k;v etc.)
system zero point.
The air mass and thus extinction has no connection to the color transformation coefficients. Extinction is affected by color, pwever with the shorter wavelenghts affected the most. Each item is handled by itself. For differential photometry the zero point and extinction usually cancel out unless the progrm and comparison stasr are separted by a significant air mass and thus have significant different extinctions. There is confusion about the Tb and Tu versus Tbv and Tub. Someone should explain how VPhot works in that regard. Normally the V transformation is called epsilon, the B-V mu and U-B psi so I am not suret what Tb and Tu are.

The Bruins are ranked No. 14 by the Associated Press and No. 15 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. UCLA and WSU each claimed home wins last season but the Bruins lead the all-time series 46-7 and have won all 26 meetings in Los Angeles.

Head coach Cori Close is in her second season at UCLA and owns a 25-18 record at the school.
LAST SEASON'S WSU-UCLA MEETING IN LOS ANGELES: Washington State dropped 73-52 decision to UCLA in Los Angeles last February. WSU was held to 27.7 percent shooting by the Bruins who out-rebounded the Cougars 50-28 and scored 38 points from inside the paint.
LAST SEASON'S UCLA-WSU MEETING IN PULLMAN: Four players scored in double-figures for Washington State who knocked off UCLA 76-65 at Beasley Coliseum last March. WSU posted its first win over the Bruins since 2001 after dropping the previous 23 meetings. Sage Romberg had 13 points while Carly Noyes added 12. Romberg hit all three of her three-point attempts while the Cougs matched a season-high with 10 made threes. Washington State finished the game shooting 41.0 percent and forced a conference season-best 27 turnovers. The Cougars scored 27 points off of turnovers and saw its bench outscore the UCLA bench 24-12.
SCHEDULE RANKED NINTH TOUGHEST IN COUNTRY: According to RPIratings.com, Washington State has played the ninth toughest schedule in the country. The Cougars went on the road to face nationally ranked Louisville, Big East Conference member Syracuse, Big Ten member Minnesota (double-overtime loss), Gonzaga (win) and played a neutral site game against South Dakota State (overtime loss). WSU posted home wins over nationally ranked Ohio State and defending WCC Tournament champion BYU.
RPI RANKINGS RELEASED: Washington State finished last season No. 106 in the RPI rankings, up 50 spots from the year prior. This season, after posting wins over BYU, Ohio State along with the road win over Gonzaga, the Cougars enter the week with an RPI ranking of No. 99, eighth highest in the Pac-12.
COUGARS TAKE DOWN GONZAGA ON THE ROAD: Sophomore guard Tia Presley scored a game-high 15 points and freshman forward Mariah Cooks added 12 off the bench as Washington State posted a 57-51 victory over Gonzaga in front of a sold out crowd at the McCarthey Athletic Center last Saturday. The Cougars held Gonzaga to 25 percent shooting in the second half and forced the Zags into 15 turnovers. Washington State received 20 points from its bench while Gonzaga went 7-of-17 at the free throw line. Freshman guard Lia Galdeira brought down a team-high eight rebounds and notched 11 points while hitting three from behind the arc including a big one in the final seconds. Cooks connected on 6-of-8 free throw attempts including four in the final four minutes.
GALDEIRA EARNED TWO STRAIGHT PAC-12 WEEKLY ACCOLADES: For the second consecutive week, guard Lia Galdeira was named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Week (Dec. 17-24). Galdeira earned her second career honor after leading the Cougars in scoring in road contests against No. 14 Louisville and Syracuse. The Kamuela, Hawaii native scored 13 points and made three steals at Louisville before posting 16 points and a team-best six rebounds at Syracuse while also hitting a pair of threes. It's the first time in program history that a Cougar has won a weekly award in consecutive weeks and it's the first time WSU has had multiple weekly accolades in a season since Jenni Ruff earned three weekly honors during the 1995-96 season.
GALDEIRA NAMED PAC-12 FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: Washington State's Lia Galdeira was named Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week, the conference office announced Dec. 17. Galdeira scored a game-high 15 points in WSU's 62-55 win over No. 20 Ohio State. The Kamuela, Hawaii native also grabbed six rebounds and finished 6-for-6 at free throw line including four that came in the final 20 seconds that sealed up the win.
COUGARS KNOCK OFF No. 20/19 OHIO STATE: Washington State's 62-55 victory over Ohio State Dec. 15 was the Cougars first win over a ranked opponent since beating No. 22 Arizona 93-86 in Pullman Feb. 10, 2001. Its was the first win over a top-20 opponent since upsetting No. 18 Oregon 67-64 in Pullman just less than a month prior, Jan. 20, 2001.
COUGAR DEFENSE MAKING ITS MARK: The WSU defense has turned some impressive performances this season and enters the week leading the conference and sixth in the NCAA in three-point defense, holding opponents to 23.5 percent from behind the arc. Through the first 14 games, the Cougars have forced 20+ turnovers five times, allowed less than 60 points four times (Wisconsin, BYU, Ohio State, Gonzaga) and held seven teams to under 36.0 percent shooting (South Dakota State, Monmouth, Wisconsin, BYU, Ohio State, Gonzaga, Arizona State).
NOYES CLIMBING WSU RECORD BOOKS: Senior center Katie Appleton's record for career starts of 110. Noyes enters Friday's game with 101 career starts, 107 games played and as the Pac-12's active leader in career blocks with 145. Against Arizona, the Moses Lake, Wash. native tallied 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds while surpassing the 400-rebound milestone.
PRESLEY PICKS UP WHERE SHE LEFT OFF: Sophomore point guard Tia Presley has scored in double-figures in the eight of the last 12 games including 20+ performances against Monmouth (21), UC Riverside (22) and Arizona State (27). The Spokane, Wash. native also grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds at UCR to notch her first career double-double. She did a little bit of everything in the win over Ohio State, recording eight points, seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Presley enters Sunday's game second on the team at 12.5 ppg and 34 steals but does lead the team with 45 assists. Last season, Presley scored in double-figures five times and made 15 starts before a foot injury kept her out of the final 12 games.
GALDEIRA OPENS CAREER WITH BIG NUMBERS: Lia Galdeira made history with her 33-point point performance in the double-overtime season-opening loss at Minnesota. Galdeira set a WSU freshman record for points in a game after going 12-of-27 from the floor, 7-of-8 at the free throw line while adding five steals. The Kamuela, Hawaii native broke the previous record of 28 points shared by Nikky Mohr (Puget Sound, 11/26/83) and Jazmine Perkins (Northern Colorado, 11/28/08). She was later named to the Best Buy Classic all-tournament team after posting 12 points, six rebounds and three steals in the overtime defeat to South Dakota State. Galdeira followed that weekend with her first career double-double, 11 points and 13 rebounds, to go along with six assists and six steals in her home debut against Monmouth.
PAC-12 TOURNAMENT MOVES TO SEATTLE: With its new partnership with Force 10 Sports Marketing, LLC, the Seattle Sports Commission and Seattle Center, the Pac-12 Conference will bring the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament to KeyArena in Seattle in 2013. The new agreement, which runs through 2015, moves the tournament to the first full week in March to strengthen television windows and maximize national exposure. ESPN2 will televise the championship game, while all other games will be carried nationally on the Pac-12 Networks.

Were used to seeing prices for technology come down, and that should include broadband access. There are cable providers competing with DSL services, and within that sphere, regional telephone companies competing with independent providers. Everywhere you turn, every street you drive down, companies are laying cable and wires to complete that legendary last mile. With so much broadband going into the ground and into homes, surely costs will continue to drop -- kind of like Moores law, right?
Guess again. The price for broadband Internet service is on the rise, just as its beginning to become widely available. Meta Group researchers are predicting a 20 percent increase for now and expect continued increases until the industry reaches profitability. The days when high-speed access cost $40 a month will soon be gone, experts say. Already SBC Communications and Earthlink have raised their rates to $50 per month.
Whats going on here? You can blame it on Wall Street, which has turned off the money spigots that fueled the growth in independent DSL providers. You can also blame it on a slowing economy. Analysts speculate that DSL prices have been set artificially low to compete with cable. With more independents dropping out of business, cable firms see a chance to raise their rates.
Independent DSL providers have also been hurt by the fact that they must rely on regional phone companies -- their competitors -- to provide access to the necessary switches for delivering DSL into homes. They have accused the phone companies of anticompetitive behavior, of locking them out of their neighborhood switching offices. One independent provider claims difficulties with the local phone company led to trouble with 80 percent of their installations. AT&T has accused SBC in Texas of driving out DSL competition and raising prices more than 20 percent.
The phone companies refute these claims and say they have done their best to work with the independents. But the fact is regulators have occasionally fined regional phone companies for hindering independent DSL services. Meanwhile, the phone companies now serve 76 percent of all DSL subscribers, while several major independents have gone under.
All this comes at a time when demand for DSL has never been stronger. Last year, the number of DSL subscribers rose by 500,000 to 2.4 million, according to research firm TeleChoice Inc. That number is expected to shoot up to 5.7 million this year.
But fewer choices means less competition and higher prices for broadband service. This is not good news for the public sector, which is investing heavily in e-government. Hundreds of millions of tax dollars have already been spent on revamping plodding government services into point-and-click online experiences that work best with broadband access.
If prices rise as expected, the average taxpayer might think twice about paying for broadband and might find his existing dial-up connection too slow for government portals and opt out of e-government altogether. Cities, counties and states may end up with highly functional, but little used, portals. Instead of watching the digital divide recede into history, we could see it grow worse among the lowest-income groups.
Can state and local governments justify spending tax dollars on electronic services if only the highest income brackets can afford to pay for broadband access? Thats a question many officials may have to answer as the sobering reality of rising fees hits home and the pocketbooks of taxpayers everywhere.
Our nations broadband industry is in danger of being controlled by what Meta Group calls an oligopoly of large players, including the phone companies, cable operators and AOL Time Warner. State and local governments need to encourage a level playing field, fair competition for the remaining independent DSL providers and, most of all, affordable prices for broadband access to all citizens, rich and poor, urban and rural. The future of e-government counts on it.

Reputation management is nothing new, PR agencies have been crafting careful responses for years and many an individual has made a fortune as a spin-doctor. In today's highly connected environment the ability to spin a tale is no long an option. Your target market no longer has to listen to what you are saying but they do have the ability to do research for themselves and arrive at a decision based on this research.
Reputation management in the online space (Online Reputation Management or ORM) is a completely different kettle of fish. Conversations are happening online about almost all brands, all the time and these conversations are what is defining the brand itself. In the clue-train manifesto this idea was expressed perfectly by declaring that "markets are conversations". And where better to have that conversation than on the Internet?
Anyone Can Now Shape the Conversation
Last time I looked, Facebook was growing by about 100 000 users a day, similarly MySpace was growing by about 150 000 users a day. Add to this the fact that roughly 180 000 new blogs are created daily and you are left with upwards of 450 000 content producers who are able to join and shape the conversations about your brand. The point is that the barrier to entry is now almost non-existent. Just about anybody has the ability to produce internationally accessible content at the click of a button - all without any accountability.
It's a scary world we live in, but it need not all be bad.
In recent years businesses have stood up and taken note of what their online reputation really means to them. Examples like Dell Hell and Kryptonite have cemented this and have illustrated the damage that an unmanaged reputation can do to a brand.
Some brands (like Amazon and Stormhoek) have turned this on its head by levering off of positive word-of-mouth to build a positive client base.
Managing Your Individual Reputation
But what about the individual? Up until now I have spoken about large corporates without a moment's thought for the "lowly" consumer. On a macro level, the collective sentiment towards your company's brand is a virtual statistic to record and manage but, what do we - small people - need to be concerned with?
Consider for a moment the last time you met somebody at a friend's dinner party and found yourself feeling an attraction towards them. I'm almost 100% certain you would have pulled your friend (the host) aside and promptly said something along the lines of "tell me about person X". The value of a 3rd party testimony is vital and is built into almost every part of how we interact in social situations.
On the Internet the same rules apply. Every time I interview somebody, meet somebody for the first time or feel like being a little nosy, I Google them. This has become so important in recent times that it's been coined 'the Google CV' and potential employers, friends and partners are increasingly using it to gather information.
Luckily, there's a whole range of clever little things you can do to protect your personal brand in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) but for the sake of time I'm going to stick to 3 very simple solutions:
- Claim Your Identity
The most important thing to do is to own your individual brand. This means a range of things, from registering all your domains (i.e. johnsmith.com, johnsmith.co.za) through to registering on as many high ranking social media sites as possible. Recommended examples are LinkedIn, Twitter and Flickr - all of which provide good rankings at very little effort (so you can own your Google CV without having to run big SEO campaigns).
- Monitor What Is Being Said About You
There are a whole range of tools which can do this for you, ranging from the free, but often tedious, Google Alerts - which can take anything up to a month to find a mention of your brand - to the inexpensive and quick solutions such as our BrandsEye. BrandsEye is available from $1 a month, and finds mentions very, very quickly (sometimes within an hour).
Whichever tool you get, the important thing is that you monitor your personal brand religiously! As the old maxim goes, "Knowledge is power". The more you know, the better positioned you are to understand and deal with both positive and negative commentary.
- Respond and Manage What is Being Said About You
Once you know what people are saying about your personal brand you need to be ready to respond and shape the conversation. Negative commentary should be met with honesty, true concern and you should also engage with its originator offline. All it takes is a simple comment like, "Hi X, thank you for your feedback, I will email you shortly and we can discuss this further. Kind Regards, Y". The objective here is to have the person commenting on your brand modify any false or negative content. There are some cases when a "Take Down Notice" can be issued but this is a much more serious situation and I'll leave it up to you to read up on that. The short and simple fact here is that you need to act quickly, contain the problem then work to resolve it.
If the commentary is positive you have a fantastic opportunity to turn this individual into a brand evangelist. Embrace their commentary, talk about them on your own blog, comment on theirs. Positivity breads positivity and as long as you are being genuine this sort of reciprocal thanks can go a very long way!
A Holistic Endeavour
While ORM on its most basic level is quite simple, the more advanced tactics and solutions are very complicated and become a hybrid between ORM, Search Engine Optimisation and WebPR.
If you're still not convinced that ORM is important as an individual or company, here's an opinion from somebody who's made their way to and stayed at the top:
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently." - Warren Buffet (only the richest man on earth)
And somebody from the bottom:
"Online Reputation Management is the new 'Art of War' and provides an excellent means for companies and individuals to get real time knowledge to provide substantial, cost effective competitive advantage. Knowledge is power." - Tim Shier, (not yet the richest man on earth)

Changes to the New York state unemployment insurance law will require employers to think twice about how they respond to formal inquiries from the New York State Department of Labor ("NYDOL") on former employees who have filed claims for unemployment benefits.
Employers now may be penalized for failing to respond on time to a request for information from the NYDOL under a change in the law that became effective on October 1, 2013. An employer must submit a response to a notice of potential charges to the employer's account within 10 calendar days. If there is an overpayment to a claimant resulting from an employer's late or insufficient response (such as failure to timely provide information supporting a discharge for cause), and the employer does not qualify for an exception, the employer will not be relieved of charges to its account due to the overpayment. Additionally, the failure to respond truthfully to all requests for information can result in further penalties. To ease the burden on employers and streamline the process, the NYDOL is launching an online system. The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) will enable employers to receive information and respond to inquiries electronically.
Additional changes took effect January 1, 2014, and include the following:
Employers must consider the manner in which they respond to claims and recognize the additional costs imposed by the higher income levels that must be reached for contributions to be capped. Employers also must consider the potential effect of severance and pension benefits on an employee's eligibility and amount of benefits.

Fairfield police have arrested a 55-year-old local man accused of throwing a sandwich at a McDonald's employee because he did not like how it was made.
Police received a 911 call at 9:47 p.m. to respond to McDonald's, 1835 Black Rock Turnpike because a man was out of control at the drive-through window, police said.
Police said Geoffrey Weglarz, of Fairfield, placed an order at the drive-up window, drove away, then returned and banged on the front door, which was locked, police said.
When an employee told Weglarz he could not enter the restaurant, he walked back to the drive-through window, screamed and swore at the pregnant female manager and then threw the bag of food through the drive-up window, hitting the manager in her chest, police said.
Then Weglarz continued to yell and bang on the drive-up windows until the manager yelled to her staff to call the police, at which point Weglarz fled the scene in his white BMW, police said.
Employees had jotted down the registration plate and officers went to Weglarz's home, where he was immediately belligerent to officers and hey took him into custody, police said.
Weglarz had a loaded Glock pistol in his waistband and was able to produce a valid Connecticut pistol permit, police said.
Police took Weglarz to the police station, released him and seized weapons and ammunition from his house, as well as a pistol permit, which will be sent to the state firearms review board.
Weglarz was charged with breach of peace, released on a written promise to appear in court and has a court date of April 9.
Weglarz was featured in a Bloomberg Businessweek slideshow online called the Rebounders.

Team: Colorado RockiesBrothers is being talked about so much that it's perhaps no longer fair to call him a sleeper. LaTroy Hawkins was signed as Colorado's closer, but most are pointing to Brothers as the guy who will soon take over the role, thanks largely to last year's career-best 1.74 ERA. At the very least, Brothers is a much better option to stash on the bench than one of the lower-tier guys competing for a job in Cincinnati or Houston.

With the San Francisco Giants in the World Series (still fun to say by the way), a big decision awaits. For Games 3 through 5 (if it goes that far), they will need to look for a person to man the designated hitter role.
Taking a look at the roster, there isn't an obvious answer to the question. So let's take a look at the different possibilities and weigh the pros and cons. At the very least, one of these guys just needs to be better than Tsuyoshi Shinjo was when he DH'd for the team back in 2002.
Pablo Sandoval to DH, Joaquin Arias to third base
Pros: The defense is better and the Giants keep Sandoval's bat in the lineup.
Cons: Arias is not a very good hitter, so adding him to the lineup isn't a very large improvement considering that Sandoval has been a pretty decent defensive third baseman this season.
Hector Sanchez and Buster Posey split catching DH duties
Pros: Allows for Sanchez to stay as the personal catcher to Tim Lincecum if he is one of the starters who takes the ball in Detroit. Allows for Sanchez, Posey and Belt to all play at the same time. Gives Posey a rest from catching without taking his bat out of the lineup.
Cons: If Sanchez catches, the defense behind the plate takes a hit. If Sanchez is the DH, the Giants don't add that much on offense with his .295 OBP. Playing Sanchez and Posey at the same time might lead the Giants to carry a third catcher.
DH: Xavier Nady
Pros: He had a .733 OPS with the Giants (in a very small sample) and has a bit of pop left in his bat. He doesn't have to play defense.
Cons: The last time he put up a wRC+ above 100 was back in 2008. Since then he has basically been roster-filler for teams looking for a 25th man. Long story short, he probably won't help the Giants offense very much.
DH: Aubrey Huff
Pros: He's done it before. He was magical in 2010. Umm … he can still take a walk (but asking him to run is a bit much).
Cons: His power seems to be all but gone. He has been one of the Giants' worst hitters over the last two seasons.
I do not envy Bruce Bochy in having to make this decision. All of these options are less than ideal.
If Bochy wants to play for the platoon advantage he will look to add another left handed bat, so that would be either the switch hitter Sanchez or Huff. If he wants to put his strongest defense on the field he will go with Arias at third and Sandoval at DH. If he wants someone who has the potential to hit the ball over the fence… well there really isn't anyone but I guess he might choose Nady.
If it was my decision to make I think I would lean toward the Arias at third and Sandoval at DH. Arias is about as good of a hitter as any of the other options, plus he makes the defense a tiny bit better.
What do you all think? Let us know your choice in the comments.
