This Article critiques public engagement in the modern administrative state. It presents an empirical case study of public participation in an unfamiliar regulatory context – involving criminal justice and the war on terrorism – and then illustrates how the insights obtained are also relevant to more familiar regulatory domains.
According to different strands of legal thought, the legitimacy of the administrative state depends in part on the claim that it provides opportunities for public participation alongside a mechanism for expert judgment. A typical rulemaking proceeding allows experts to make technical judgments subject to court review. The whole process is then enmeshed in a system that is supposed to provide public engagement – and therefore democratic accountability – through presidential appointments and control, congressional oversight, and the public notice-and-comment process. This existing approach is legitimated by administrative pluralism, a way of thinking that emphasizes the value of interest-group competition in shaping regulatory policy. While administrative pluralism helps legitimate regulatory policy in the eyes of some jurists, scholars, and the public, it also suppresses implicit questions about how much expert judgment is required in regulatory decisions, what limitations exist in interest-group centered approaches to democracy, and whether the extent of participatory democracy and responsiveness is sufficient.
The problems are not abstract. They are easily demonstrated in the course of a specific regulatory rulemaking proceeding, such as Section 314 of the USA Patriot Act, which governs law enforcement's cooperation with financial institutions. The agency took a vaguely-worded statute and greatly expanded the scope of information law enforcement can obtain without a subpoena. Yet the task of balancing privacy concerns and law enforcement objectives hardly seems like the exclusive province of experts. Individuals and interest groups did have a chance to submit comments in the rulemaking proceeding, but virtually all the comments taken seriously by the regulatory agency were sophisticated statements made by financial institutions and their lawyers. While over 70% of comments came from individuals concerned about privacy, the agency did not even address these in its final rule, nor does it appear to have deployed any alternative mechanism to assess public reactions to its regulation.
Despite the administrative pluralism model's tenacious hold, at least two alternatives exist to involve the public in rulemaking proceedings such as those governing Section 314, both of which involve constituting a small group of people whose discussions can inform the regulatory process. Participants can be either selected by lot from the entire population (a majoritarian deliberation approach), or chosen from among constituencies (including outside, independent experts) who may be especially impacted by the regulation but are essentially unrepresented in the existing system (a corrective approach). Given that neither the public's sophistication nor its interest in a regulatory issue is fixed, the new approaches can generate valuable information about what informed citizens think of regulatory proposals. The information obtained could then prove valuable in designing regulations and enhancing their legitimacy. The technical challenge of implementing the alternatives is far from insurmountable, though questions arise about selecting deliberation groups, framing the issue, and providing representation to the views of the group. Instead, two larger challenges remain. First is the challenge of choosing among different concepts of administrative democracy to combine expertise and participation. Second is the challenge of overcoming a political economy that strongly favors the status quo.

Active Directory
Ithaca College provides network file storage for all faculty members, all staff members, and all departments through Microsoft Active Directory (AD) accounts on the Mentor file server. The Mentor server can be accessed by computers running Mac OS X or Windows 7. You use your Netpass username and password to log into your AD account. Netpass passwords must be changed every 180 days using Netpass Manager.
File storage is provided through access to personal "home" folders and "shared" departmental folders. "Home" folders are accessible only to the owner of the individual account. "Shared" folders are accessible to groups of users who need to collaborate and share files, e.g., members of departments. All faculty and staff members have home folders. Most faculty and staff members have shared folders. Student employees may also have access to shared folders.
The AD file server that hosts home and shared folders is called Mentor. When you log onto a campus computer, your home folder will automatically be available to you (on Mac OS X you'll have a Home folder on the dock and/or desktop; on Windows you'll have an H: drive in My Computer). Shared folder names will vary depending on the nature of your work and can be accessed easily by creating shortcuts. The two main shared sections of the Mentor file server are "Shared" and "Academic." Folders in the section called "Shared" host shared folders for departments. Folders in the "Academic" section host shared folders for academic projects (e.g., an instructor may request a shared folder for members of a research team). Other shared sections with a variety of names are hosted for other groups of users who need to share files.
Data on the AD file server is password-protected, scanned for viruses, and backed up nightly. Using the file server is the safest and most reliable way to store work-related files.
AD folders can be accessed both on and off campus, from either a college or personal computer, using either the wired or IthacaCollege wireless network. However, the steps for accessing AD folders will be different for each connection scenario. Please see the quick guides at right for detailed instructions.

Lawrence Arnell ft. Reef The Lost Cauze - Nothin' Less
Booth newcomer Lawrence Arnell is well aware that his musical ambitions are immodest – he simply doesn't care. As the rising star informs us in this newly-released promo single, he hopes to earn a place as Nothin' Less than one of the greatest emcees to ever rock a mic. Over the head-noddin, piano-led instrumental stylings of producer OJay, the Philly native lays all his cards on the table: "You can hire me or fire me / but it won't take long for you to realize you require me." Equally determined to leave an indelible mark on the rap game, fellow Philadelphian rhymesayer Reef the Lost Cauze brings a grittier, more abstract lyrical touch to the track's middle portion: "We went from the pyramids to projects / West Philly where I rep, man, it's too complex." So, Booth readers, does Lawrence Arnell have the skills to back up his lofty ambitions? If you think so, keep it locked for all the latest from this talented up-and-comer.

On March 13, a jury found Jaime Demecio Romero, guilty of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, resisting arrest and seriously injuring a peace officer, illegal possession of a gun, and using a firearm while committing a felony, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.
However, the jury also found that the crimes weren't gang related, thereby preventing one sentence enhancement. As it is, Mr. Romero faces about 36 years in state prison, the District Attorney's Office said.
Mr. Romero, a Menlo Park resident, was arrested on Aug. 28, 2013, after he shot a 24-year-old man who allegedly tried to attack him with a baseball bat during a traffic altercation on Willow Road, according to police.
Menlo Park Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET) officers were already in the area on an unrelated case, and attempted to detain Mr. Romero. A struggle during his arrest injured a police officer's hand. The officer has since returned to duty, according to the police department, but may require further surgery to repair the damage.
A date for sentencing will be set on March 26. Mr. Romero remains in custody on $500,000 bail. His defense attorney, Gerritt Rutgers, was not immediately available for comment on the trial's outcome.

Mega movies are facing the heat of Seemandhra agitation these days and the heroes are unable to declare a proper release date. Pawan's Attarintiki Daredi is yet to get a date, while Yevadu is fixed for October 10th. But still the release is unsure with Seemandhra agitation not dying down.
Irrespective of these hurdles, one movie is unstoppable. It is none other than 'Thoofan'. Mega Powerstar Ram Charan is going to debut in Bollywood with the remake of classic hit 'Zanjeer', and the date for release is September 6th. Director Apoorva Lakhia made it clear that there is no stopping for the release of Zanjeer and its Telugu version Thoofan. Arrangements are being made for the audio release of Thoofan on August 20th, and the Hindi version music already became a rage in Bollywood circuits. Also the Zanjeer/Thoofan is creating record of sorts when it comes to overseas release. The movie is hitting around 170 screens in Newyork-Newjersey Metro area, and this is the first time a Bollywood flick is hitting that many screens. Reliance Entertainment too confirmed that September 6th is going to be a feast.
Going by the way the promotion and release of Thoofan are planned, it seems Charan will be unstoppable irrespective of any agitation that is shaking Andhra Pradesh at the moment. We have to see how Ram Charan will click in Bollywood after the release of this flick.

Harry and Emma have been flirting on Twitter again and I'm loving it
I have to admit – I was pretty excited when I saw that Harry Styles and Emma Watson had been chatting on Twitter again this morning (there goes my street cred…).
The pair originally indulged in some social networking banter last September after Harry's BFF Nick Grimshaw told Emma on his Radio 1 show that the One Direction singer had only seen half of her film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
Harry let Emma know yesterday that he'd finally got round to watching the end of the teen drama while on an aeroplane – leaving 1D fans thrilled that they'd got back in contact.
And I am too!
I know Emma is loved-up with her student boyfriend Will Adamowicz, snore. But COME ON. Wouldn't Hemma (as Directioners have already started calling them) just be so good together?!
As a self-confessed Harry Potter geek, I'm quite an Emma fan.
For someone who's been famous since the age of 10, she comes across as a genuinely intelligent, friendly, level-headed young woman.
In comparison, Harry's latest ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift spends her life getting heartbroken, whining about being heartbroken, getting heartbroken, whining about being heartbroken…
I reckon Emma has a little more dignity than to tell the world every detail about her painful break-ups (I'm already waiting for Taylor's upcoming Harry-themed album).
Then there's Harry's other former flings.
Caroline Flack (too mature), Cara Delevingne (too quirky) and Emma Ostilly (who?).
Let's face it, what Harry really needs is a sensible girl who understands his fame but at the same time knows how to bring him back down to Earth.
And Emma – who's previously succeeded in stepping out of the limelight to attend university – fits that mould perfectly.
So come on, Emma! Ditch your man, hook up with Harry and make Directioners' (and my) dreams come true. PLEASE! (Sorry, Will).

The Columbus Crew have relied on Eddie Gaven for longer than any attacking player on their roster, and for the past eight seasons he has been someone the Crew could count on to deliver.
Now, for the first time since 2005, the Crew will have to make a playoff push without the services of Gaven, who the Columbus Dispatch is reporting is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Gaven suffered the injury on Wednesday during the Crew's 2-1 U.S. Open Cup victory vs. the Dayton Dutch Lions.

Janet Ketcham, founder of the Janet W. Ketcham Foundation, first traveled to Afghanistan in 1971. Forty years later, she returned to witness and record profound changes.
In late June, Ketcham, who is devoted to supporting goodwill among the Afghan people, presented photographs shot on her recent trip to Kabul. In an exceptional evening at our offices in San Francisco, Ketcham shared Six Days in Afghanistan, a deeply personal program in which she shared her observations and experiences of a dramatically changed Kabul. Her finely composed images of students, daily life in Kabul, and the meticulously restored Babur Mughal Gardens, the largest green space in Kabul, moved guests and sparked conversation. Former Ambassador to Afghanistan and Asia Foundation Trustee Theodore L. Eliot, Jr. persuaded Ketcham to curate and present her show, and the ambassador provided his expert insights about the country during the Q&A.
Ms. Ketcham's generosity has enabled our local Afghanistan office to provide much needed assistance to the Lama-e-Shaheed Girls' School in Kabul. The school, which enrolls more than 4,500 girls, K-12, had been badly damaged during the past several decades of conflict. Through Ms. Ketcham's support, the school building has been significantly upgraded with an improved roof, conference hall, chairs, and desks for students and teachers, and a complete overhaul to the school's plumbing system. Beyond these improvements, Ms. Ketcham has embarked on a new project with The Asia Foundation to provide a computer laboratory and IT instructors at the school. The lab will be furnished with computers and printers and will provide internet access, greatly improving students' skills as well as their post-graduate job search prospects. The Asia Foundation's Books for Asia program donated brand new textbooks to the Lama-e-Shaheed Girls' School in computer science, math, communications, and political science. Founded in 2008, the Janet W. Ketcham Foundation has built three schools in Afghanistan and has supported a program of the Global Partnership for Afghanistan in providing 8,000 hybrid poplar trees in ten provinces, teaching farmers irrigation and storage, and giving an alternative to growing poppies.

A day after the highly anticipated launch of the 777X, Boeing found itself attempting to debunk assertions that the big three Persian Gulf carriers that now account for the majority of the order backlog unduly influenced the technical characteristics of the airplane. While appearing at a technical briefing on the program at the Dubai Airshow last week, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president and general manager of airplane development Scott Fancher insisted that the airplane reflects the needs of airlines around the world, including those of launch customer Lufthansa Group.
"It's really kind of amusing to us to hear about that in the marketplace, or out in the press," said Fancher. "We've been talking to airlines all around the world for 18 months, understanding what their needs are and crafting this airplane to have the flexibility that our customers say they need… I know there's a lot of talk about [appealing] to the long-range, Middle East Gulf carriers and higher-temperature departure days. But that same capability gives other airlines the flexibility they need for high-hot operations, that they need for sea-level, hot-humid operations or sea-level wet operations or short-hop runway operations."
In support of Fancher, GE vice president and general manager for commercial engines operations Bill Fitzgerald noted that the Gulf carriers account for only a third of his company's global fleet, and that Emirates' requirement for 105,000 pounds of thrust doesn't necessarily translate into a fuel-burn penalty for carriers that don't need that much power. "We're working closely with Scott [Fancher] and his team to make sure that what we have for an engine capability and an airplane capability meets everybody's expectations," said Fitzgerald.
Lufthansa vice president of fleet management Nico Buchholz explained that as the first carrier to commit to the 777X, his airline "solidified" in its contract what it wanted from the airplane. "Now there are additional requirements that make the airplane better or more flexible and it still satisfies our needs," he said. "So I wouldn't say from our standpoint that the aircraft is sized to a Gulf requirement; it's still a global player."
Meanwhile, Boeing will explore "all options" for production site locations for the 777X following the rejection by its machinists of a contract extension proposal in return for a company commitment to build the airplane and its carbon-fiber wing in the Puget sound region of Washington state, BCA chief executive Ray Conner told reporters on the eve of the airshow. Conner also insisted that Boeing offered a fair proposal and that the company "has no plans" to return to the bargaining table.
Conner denied that any desire to accelerate the timing of the 777X's entry into service influenced what appeared as urgency to reach a deal. "Going into this vote was not being driven by a need to accelerate this airplane," he said. "The timing of this airplane hasn't changed…We have to make some decisions on where we're going to be long term. It's a pretty long cycle because, particularly with the wing, it's not something we've done before in the Puget Sound region or anywhere else, except for over in Japan [at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]."
In fact, Conner wouldn't discount suggestions that 777X wing production could go to Japan, alongside that of the 787's wing, calling it "a good thought." The manufacturer is "going to look very broadly," he said, adding that the list of possibilities still includes the Puget Sound region.

Guys like him are killing the USA. And they wonder why young people aren't motivated to get into aerospace!
Why not outsource HIS job? I'll bet loads of foreigners would do it cheaper, and better!

A simple recipe which looks amazing ! The Chocolate Ice-Cream is my quick homemade version, very creamy hence the quick melting !
These are really just normal {smaller sized} pancakes with a whirl of chocolate pancake mixture, but oh, so good ... I thought I had Chocolate Ice Cream in the freezer but had only Vanilla and we were done with grocery shopping for the day.
No, I did not want to serve them with Vanilla! So, for the first time in my life, I made my own chocolate ice-cream, and even if I have to say so myself --- total delight! It turned out extremely creamy and was lovely served with these warm pancakes.
You can either make my recipe or just take a short-cut {as I would have!} and use ready-made Chocolate Ice-Cream.
{6 - 8 servings}
1 3/4 cups Flour
1/4 t Salt
1 t Sugar
2 Eggs
400ml Milk
1 TB Oil
1 TB Cocoa Powder
2 cups Vanilla Ice-Cream, softened slightly
1/4 cup Fresh Cream {double cream/whipping cream}
1 TB Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate, melted
250g Fudge, plain , chopped {homemade or store-bought}
3/4 cup Fresh Cream {double cream/whipping cream}
1.) If making your own Chocolate Ice Cream - start with this first - using a fork, whisk the Cocoa Powder through the Fresh Cream until creamy - briskly mix in with the softened Vanilla Ice-Cream - add the melted Dark Chocolate mixing through very fast - place covered in the freezer compartment - when frozen halfway, whisk again with a fork and return to the freezer until firm, but not hard.
2.) Pancakes: Sift together the Flour, Salt & Sugar - in a separate bowl, beat together the Eggs, Milk and Oil - make a hollow in the center of the Flour - pour the Milk mixture in all at once and beat until smooth. Spoon out a third of the pancake mixture - add the Cocoa Powder to this, mix to combine.
3.) Using a small non-stick pan {about 15cm in diameter} - add enough of the Vanilla batter to cover the bottom - Drizzle over about 1 tablespoon of the Chocolate batter over - cook until small bubbles form and flip over - cook another 30 seconds - 1 minute - repeat until all the batter is finished. {keep warm}
4.) Fudge Sauce: Place the Fudge and the Fresh Cream in a small pot - heat until the Fudge has melted and the sugar crystals has melted - remove from heat.
TO SERVE: Place one or two warm pancakes on a serving plate - spoon over some Chocolate Ice-Cream and drizzle with the Fudge Sauce.
Serve immediately.
I had more chocolate pancake batter left and a little bit of the vanilla, so I made a reverse color pancake just for the fun and to use up whatever was left:
My hand might have slipped a little with the Fudge Sauce {but it is sooo delicious!}
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did !

i'm expecting my first child and so "project nursery" has been weighing heavily in my mind for the last few months. in one week i purches THREE convertible cribs, but kept returning them because i think spending $500 on a crib is an atrocious amount of money. plus the style of them were not quite "right" in my eyes.
i saw this set and fell in love. the shape, the contrast, the PRICE. unfortunately walmart.com does not ship to addresses in canada and walmart.ca has crap. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6005161
so i saw this ad for a used crib and bought it for $100
fugly. i know. the feet - abomination.
being 7 months pregnant at the time, my friends helped me sand, prime and paint it to this beautiful work of art
notice how we removed the feet?
this is what the furniture looks like so far. the dresser is an ikea malm model. instead of painting the drawers, hubby and i bought one dark, one white and swapped them. the white dresser with dark drawers lives in the closet (because... is it really necessary to hang baby clothes on hangers?
and the "boys" waiting for my little boy to arrive

text: Rustenburg - Some striking workers at Anglo Platinum's (Amplats) Rustenburg mines refused to return to work on Tuesday despite an offer by the company to reinstate 12 000 men sacked for taking part in a six-week wildcat walkout. Months of labour unrest in the mines have hit platinum and gold output, threatened growth in Africa's biggest economy and drawn criticism of President Jacob Zuma for his handling of the most damaging strikes since the end of apartheid in 1994. However, the number of strikes has dropped in the last two weeks amid management threats of mass dismissals and some payment sweetners. At Amplats' Thembelani mine near Rustenburg, 120km northwest of Johannesburg, hundreds of miners barricaded a road to one of the shafts with burning tyres. "No one is at work today unless they snuck in," Mayford Mjuza, a worker representative, told Reuters as a police helicopter hovered nearby. Amplats, the world's biggest producer of the precious metal, said it was still gathering details on attendance at its four strike-hit Rustenburg mines. The company said last week it had reached a deal with several unions and would be offering sweeteners such as a one-off hardship payment of R2 000 to end a strike that has crippled production. A return to work on Tuesday was one of the conditions attached to the deal. However, workers at Thembelani said they were determined to stay away until Amplats matched a salary increase of up to 22% offered by rival Lonmin [JSE:LON] after a violent wildcat walkout at its nearby Marikana platinum mine in August. The Lonmin offer came in the wake of the police killing of 34 miners on August 16, the bloodiest security incident since apartheid. MacDonald Motsaathebe, who has been with Amplats for 12 years, said workers did not agree to the deal struck at the weekend between Amplats and unions including the National Union of Mineworkers. "We didn't agree to the offer. We want R16 000. Lonmin miners got it, and we want it," said the 35-year-old, whose salary supports nine people. "We earn peanuts." Workers are expected to meet later on Tuesday. While the situation at Amplats has yet to be resolved, tensions at other mining companies have eased. Striking workers at gold firms including AngloGold Ashanti [JSE:ANG] and Gold Fields [JSE:GFI] returned to work last week after threats of mass dismissals and an offer of a small pay increase.

text: >From: Peter Graham, Rutgers University Libraries > >Sorry; could someone refresh us as to how to get the last Bookways issue? >Thanks. --pg If you're a Bookways subscriber, chances are it'll show up any day now. Bulk mail is pretty unpredictable, but they went out a few weeks ago, sometime in early October (never mind that the cover says "Summer 1995") There have been a few people on this list who have expressed an interest in buying this final issue, even though they are not subscribers. For those persons I dutifully printed out their requests and passed them on to Tom Taylor, the publisher (we share the same commercial space so it's very convenient) who as far as I know put those into a folder and is filling those orders. However, I have nothing to do with the administrative or editorial aspects of the mag...I just print the thing. If you think you placed an order for the final issue of Bookways over the internet you could send a message to Tom Taylor at: <firstname.lastname@example.com> and remind him. I think he logs on from time to time to check out the fly-fishing news group. Or you can fax him at 512-478-5508, or leave a phone message at 512-478-7628 or write him at 1906 Miriam, Austin, Texas 78722. Or send me another e-mail mressage and I'll pass it on again. ____________________________________________________________________________ Bradley Hutchinson * Digital Letterpress * 1906 Miriam * Austin, Texas 78722 512-478-7632 * 512-478-5508 fax * http://www.zilker.net/~ltrpress/index.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking of selling your games on Steam?
Have you ever think about develop your own game and sell it on the market? What about selling such game on Steam? If you ever consider such option, here are some useful tips that may help you to successfully launch your game on Steam:
- Steam is the most popular PC game distribution platform
When it comes to PC games, Valve and Steam managed to establish themselves as leaders in PC game distribution. But, before you make a definite decision to launch your game on Steam, let us first look at some interesting details. While there are some games that are selling really, really good, the most of PC games are falling in category below 20.000 copies sold on Steam, that makes average of 32.000 copies sold in total. If you know this statistics, it may help you to calculate realistic plan and focus on making profitable game, rather than expensive, lucrative game that will not be able to cover its own costs of production.
- Geography is important!
Before you venture into developing your game, be sure to check where your game will be selling. When it comes to Steam, almost 50% of all sales come from Northern America, 20% from Europe and the rest is divided with Asia and other regions. In other words, try to focus on games that are suited for western gamers, anime and manga themes would not be well received. From other side, one of the most profitable markets in nearby future will be China, as it slowly opens for game developers, so it may be your big chance for success! To get an idea, just start steam wallet code generator and grab some similar game from store, look for translation options and apply such ideas into your game.
- Translate your game
Outside the English speaking audience many players will not play your game if it is not dubbed in their native language. Steam offers such options, so it is wise idea to translate your game on Russian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese language as the most non-western players comes from those countries. Chose a right game niche and one very important point – do not try to clone a game! Recently, game cloning or remodeling become very popular, but on long run it cannot bring solid profit and may and in a good game that is too similar to many other games and therefore nobody want to buy it! If you manage to have original concept and solid technical support for your game, you will earn much more on the long run.
- Connect with Steam community
If you are thinking about launching a game on a Steam, know that the community is the most important aspect of entire platform. You can turn that in your advance; offer them special access, free steam wallet codes, extra content or bonuses. If you manage to get attention of community and get their positive vote, you may be almost sure that game will also be a huge success.

Cloud Services Brokerage
How AppDirect Enables Your Business to Become a CSBRead More
A cloud services brokerage (CSB) is a third-party individual or business that acts as an intermediary between the purchaser of a cloud computing service and the creators of that service. In practice, this means that CSBs not only give their customers access to cloud-based services, but enable them to use those services more effectively than they would be able to on their own.
Given the inherent advantages of cloud services—lower cost, greater flexibility and faster deployment, among many others—their appeal to both enterprise and SMB companies is obvious. However, as cloud services have grown in popularity, their implementation has become more complex.
This is where cloud services brokerages play a crucial role. CSBs help customers aggregate, integrate and customize cloud-based services from multiple vendors and deliver them as a whole solution to end users, streamlining the experience across the board. For example, CSBs can offer single sign-on (SSO) capabilities so end users can access a number of different services from one portal. CSBs can also unify and simplify numerous other back-end processes, such as invoicing, payment processing, customer tracking and more.
Even though the role of cloud services broker is relatively new, it should seem familiar to anyone who has been involved in a traditional software deployment; instead of overseeing on-premise software implementations and customizations, CSBs facilitate integrations like these in the cloud.
AppDirect: Enabling Your Business to Become a Cloud Services Brokerage
The thought of developing and launching a cloud offering may be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. The AppDirect platform allows you to create a branded marketplace for cloud services without the need for in-house resources or expertise, transforming your business into a cloud services brokerage and placing your company at the forefront of cloud innovation.
As the leading cloud service marketplace and management platform, AppDirect provides the product features and functionality your business needs to become a successful cloud services brokerage. These include:
Application MarketplaceOffers an interactive experience that gives customers the information, tools and community to discover and buy the best solutions to meet their needs.
Application ManagerEmpowers customers to access and manage all of their applications from one simple, secure site.
Developer CenterAttracts developers to your platform with state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and services.
Marketplace ManagerProvides the latest technology to facilitate managing your product catalog, marketplace settings, customer service, marketing and billing operations.
SecurityAppDirect invests heavily in security and ensures compliance with rigorous industry standards, including PCI DSS and ISO 27001.
IntegrationsAppDirect integrates your marketplace with existing systems to offer a seamless end user experience and centralize your back office.
These elements will allow you to quickly deploy a best-in-class cloud services offering that is easy to use and easy to manage, for both you and your customers.
Launching a Cloud Services Brokerage to Capitalize on Business Applications
Sparked by innovative, easy-to-use marketplaces like Apple's App Store and the Android Market, consumer interest in mobile apps has soared. Given this success, forward-looking companies in the B2B space have already turned their attention to developing and delivering apps for business.
For telecommunications companies, ISPs, and other brands that are interested in reaching business users, creating a cloud services brokerage specifically geared to provide innovative business applications is a smart strategy. A cloud service marketplace that allows users to browse through multiple apps, make purchases, and manage all of their services through one portal can help retain existing customers while attracting new prospects.
With its industry experience and expertise, AppDirect is ideally suited to help companies create cloud service marketplaces like these. The AppDirect platform is a white label solution that can be branded and customized to meet the needs of your end users, allowing you to create and launch a cloud service marketplace quickly and easily. Your AppDirect-powered cloud service marketplace can not only generate new revenue, but also boost loyalty as customers return to your marketplace for the latest, most innovative cloud services.
The Calm Before the Cloud Services Brokerage Storm
Currently, there are relatively few cloud services brokerages. However, Gartner predicts that the number of CSBs will soar over the next few years as companies of all sizes continue to migrate their business information and processes to the cloud—and look for help managing and integrating multiple solutions once they get there.
As their numbers expand, cloud services brokerages that are early to market will have a natural advantage; their position on the industry's leading edge will give them the opportunity to capitalize on the growing complexities of cloud services deployment.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Valencia!
GWEN IFILL: In public, President Obama owns the bully pulpit, and Democrats own the Senate majority. Today, the president focused on the economy in a public speech in Orlando.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: When women succeed, America succeeds.
GWEN IFILL: But, tonight, he will be fulfilling another mission: raising money for Democrats at a private Florida fund-raiser at a politically perilous time.
Warning signs are popping up everywhere for Democrats. Last week, Republican David Jolly won a special House election in the Sunshine State that Democrats had hoped to use to build momentum. Red flags are also popping for Democrats in the Senate, where Republicans need only six seats to take the majority this fall.
Part of the problem: Democrats are struggling in seven states they now hold that Republican Mitt Romney won in 2012. Now the GOP has extended its target map to include a handful of typically Democratic-leaning states. For Democrats, the best chances to turn the tide on Republican turf are in Georgia and in Kentucky, the home of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
But Democrats recently acquired two new worries, in Colorado, where Republicans landed a top-tier recruit when Congressman Cory Gardner announced he would challenge Democrat Mark Udall, and in New Hampshire, where former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has moved across the border to explore a challenge to incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.
We explore the contours of the midterm election landscape with Stu Rothenberg of The Rothenberg Political Report and Roll Call newspaper, and Amy Walter, national editor of The Cook Political Report.
In a nutshell, why are Democrats so worried, Amy?
AMY WALTER, The Cook Political Report: You laid it down politically.
It's the map, I think, is the most important thing that makes them nervous, and it's the political environment. And when the president's approval rating right now is sitting at 42, 43 percent, even if you're in a relatively Democratic-leaning or you could call it competitive state, that's a tough place to be as a Democrat. If you are in a red state, that is dismal.
JUDY WOODRUFF: That's what you're seeing, too, Stu?
STUART ROTHENBERG, The Rothenberg Political Report: There's a particular dynamic that kicks in, in midterm elections.
There's a reason why the president's party has won House seats only twice in the last 100 years in midterms. It's that voters tend to go to the polls to express their dissatisfaction with the president, and his party's candidates suffer.
GWEN IFILL: Let's divide this into two big chunks.
One, the states that Romney won in the 2012 election where there are now Democratic — Democratic seats which are endangered, some of them are Democrat retirements. We can see them here. And that's South Dakota, Montana, West Virginia. And some of them are endangered incumbents, North Carolina, Alaska, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Let's just unpack that for a moment, Amy. Which of those states are you watching?
AMY WALTER: Well, the open seats are the toughest ones for the Democrats, mostly because these are the seats that have moved over to the Republicans, at least at the federal level, for quite some time.
The only reason they stayed in Democratic hands is because they had Democratic incumbents who were really connected to those states. Those people are gone.
GWEN IFILL: Like Montana.
AMY WALTER: Like Montana, like West Virginia with Jay Rockefeller. And those folks — with those folks done, almost impossible for Democrats to keep those seats.
The other states are places where the Democrats, they have been fighting against the tide, in some cases for quite some time and holding on, like Louisiana with Mary Landrieu. In others, they're a brand-new senator in a state that has traditionally been Republican, like Mark Begich in Alaska. But they come with a big last name. The Begich name in Alaska is very well-known. His father was a former senator there.
GWEN IFILL: Or North Carolina, for instance. That falls into that same…
STUART ROTHENBERG: Well, North Carolina is a little different, in that it's not quite as red as the other states, like Arkansas, and Alaska and Louisiana.
It is a competitive state. The president won it initially in 2008. He lost it narrowly in 2012. But, again, I think Amy is exactly right. You have states where Democrats have a better chance, either because the landscape is better or the Democratic incumbent has the kind of name that has allowed him or her to resist against what has been a Republican wave.
GWEN IFILL: Like in Arkansas.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Like in Arkansas.
Mark Pryor in Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, or Mark Begich in Alaska, these are Democrats who have deep connections to the state. And that's what they need to do. They need to try to localize these campaigns, so voters in those states say, it's not about — just about Barack Obama. It's not about the national environment. It's about my senator, Mary Landrieu or Mark Pryor.
The Democrats are trying to do that. It's going to be difficult, frankly, for them to succeed.
GWEN IFILL: And it's even difficult in areas — and let's at another map here, where these are states that President Obama won in the last election. They're retirements, two Democratic retirements, one in Michigan, Carl Levin, one in Iowa, Tom Harkin.
And there are endangered incumbents in two other states. We mentioned them in the setup there, in Colorado and New Hampshire. How does that…
GWEN IFILL: … the problem?
STUART ROTHENBERG: I think the thing to note about those four states is that we were watching three of them as swing states in the presidential race last time.
GWEN IFILL: That's true.
STUART ROTHENBERG: So, yes, the president won them. But he won New Hampshire 52, Iowa with 52, Colorado with 51.5.
So these were narrow wins. And so that — I think that means that the landscape isn't as good for Democrats as Democrats may be thinking.
AMY WALTER: Yes. Yes.
GWEN IFILL: Go ahead. Add to that.
AMY WALTER: Oh, no, no, no.
And, you know, at the end of the day, this comes down to mood. Right? And Stu pointed this out. Angry people vote. People who are sort of complacent or even people who are generally happy don't always go out and vote. It's the most motivated people, especially in a midterm election, that go out and vote.
And so when the president — this is why it's important when you look at his national number at 42 or 43 percent. You have to take it then and say, well, what would that mean in a state that he already lost by 10 points or a state he narrowly carried? That means he's even lower than that national number. It's very tough for a Democrat to overperform the president by that big of a percentage.
GWEN IFILL: How much of a drag in the big picture is the health care law, and how much would he have had problems whether this law existed or not?
STUART ROTHENBERG: Well, I think it is a drag, in part because Republicans are enthusiastic about it, and they're energized.
GWEN IFILL: It's, what, being angrier here.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Right. Right. It's going to affect Republican turnout.
But I think, at the end of the day, when we talk about the final few weeks, few months of the campaign, independent voters make up their mind, it's more generally about mood. How's the economy doing? Are there new jobs being created? How has the president performed?
For them, I think the ACA is already baked into this.
AMY WALTER: Except if there are more problems with the ACA. And that's really the question, because September and October could bring — that's traditionally when insurance companies come and they bring you your insurance premiums if you're a small business for the next year.
GWEN IFILL: Right.
AMY WALTER: If those go up in September and October, right before the election, not really a good sign for Democrats.
GWEN IFILL: We see this big push to get people enrolled. Is there a plus to be had out of that, or is this just running in place?
AMY WALTER: I feel like it's a little bit running in place.
Look, the bottom line is going to be, I think, health care reform's success politically, at least in the short term, will be based on how people who currently have insurance feel about it. Do they feel like their own health insurance has been in any way compromised by this new — this new health care law?
If it has, then they will take it out on the president. If it hasn't, they're not going to use it as a motivating factor.
GWEN IFILL: We have been watching Senator Harry Reid go full-bore against the Koch brothers, the big Republican finance brothers duo.
How much does that indicate that money is a big problem and Republicans are the ones who have got it?
STUART ROTHENBERG: Well, I don't think it's that the Republicans have all the cash.
I think it's an attempt to kind of redefine the election to say — the problem is, it's really inside baseball.
GWEN IFILL: Yes.
STUART ROTHENBERG: The average voter doesn't say, wow, who's contributing to who?
So I think it's a general Democratic frustration here. When you look at these races, it's not as though the Republican candidates have a lot more money than the Democratic Senate candidates. That's not the case at all. AMY WALTER: But the AFP is out, which is the Koch brothers-backed group.
GWEN IFILL: Americans for Prosperity.
AMY WALTER: I mean, when you look at how much they're spending in some of these states we just talked about…
STUART ROTHENBERG: That's true.
AMY WALTER: … in North Carolina, their super PAC up against the Democratic super PAC called the Majority — Democratic Majority — what is it? Majority PAC, yes.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Majority PAC.
AMY WALTER: Majority PAC.
It's, in some cases, 3-1, 4-1 difference in the number of ads that have been run. But I agree with you that it's — it may not stay that way.
STUART ROTHENBERG: And, remember, the Republican super PAC that was so big last time, Crossroads, seems not to be active this cycle, at least at this point. They will be later in the cycle. But, so far, AFP, the Koch brothers group, has really been carrying the ball for Republicans as the outside group.
GWEN IFILL: But no matter how much money is involved, it doesn't matter, if the president is the drag.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Everybody is going to have enough money, I think, in these races, although now that there are more races on the table for Democrats, there may be trouble. But, no, the president is a much bigger problem.
AMY WALTER: Absolutely.
GWEN IFILL: OK. We will leave it there.
GWEN IFILL: Just say yes.
AMY WALTER: Just say yes.
GWEN IFILL: Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report, Stu Rothenberg of The Rothenberg Political Report, thanks.
AMY WALTER: Thanks.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Thanks, Gwen.

Kellie Sanders
What makes Madison such a unique place? I think that it has a lot to do with the amount of opportunities that students here are offered. Whatever you want to get involved in, whether it be diversity issues, environmental activism, or an internship with an organization, there is something out there for everyone.
The Student Service Finance Committee are the people who get to decide what services are important to students here on campus, and how much funding they should receive in order to better serve the students. Each year every student pays roughly $650 into the segregated fee system, which then gets allocated among different organizations and programs provided to students.
I am running for SSFC because I firmly believe in the system that we have, and want to make sure that committee is looking out for the students' interests. This is our money, and that money should represent what the students want to have available to them.
I will also do this in a fiscally responsible way. With the rising cost of tuition, it's important to ensure our money is being spent wisely. Many people will attribute the rise in tuition to the rise in segregated fees, but this is the one portion of our education that we have complete control over, so if you want to make sure your money is being spent in a responsible way and representing your needs, vote for me.
I have budgetary experience with student organizations here on campus, and I also serve on a committee that allocates money nationwide. If you want your money spent by an experienced, thoughtful and responsible person, then vote Kellie for SSFC.
David Lapidus
I believe in the platform of the Robin Hood Slate. If segregated fees are not being spent in the interest of the majority of students, then they shouldn't be taken from students in the first place. We are already hit hard enough by the cost of tuition; there is no reason why our own budget committee should hit us harder with costs that offer little of value to the vast majority of us.
Many in the Student Segregated Funds Committee and large student organizations, however, oppose this philosophy, and would love to spend our money with no consideration for the financial burden placed upon students. Sometimes it is because SSFC members want a $5,000 annual salary; sometimes it is because clubs with budgets in the hundreds of thousands of dollars want money to send their members on exclusive trips to Florida.
Those who abuse your money will say the amount concerned is small. They'll say that only 15 percent of the $22 million in segregated fees last year was controlled by the SSFC. What they will not mention is that even that "small" amount was around $3 million, and that it grows in size 10 percent annually. This is money that could help relieve the burden of our tuition. Instead it goes toward the corruption and wasteful spending of our government.
This practice cannot continue.
I will never spend our money unless it serves the majority of students.
I will never allow our money to be spent on salaries for our student government.
I will eliminate excessive acronyms (SSFC, ASM, etc.) that allow our government to act in secrecy and with no accountability. Every student is a member of Student Government — they should know what's going on.
Vote for David Lapidus — Your Tuition Will be Well Spent

Situated at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a cultural melting pot with a rich history and varied landscape that ranges from arid plains to mountains – a result of complex earth movements that have shaped the region over millennia.
Turkey is also bounded by seas on three sides: the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north and the Mediterranean to the south, with the Sea of Marmara enclosed within the north-west of the country.
Gökova Bay, on Turkey's south-west coast, is located at the meeting point between the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. This is a stunning region, where sheer mountains drop down to turquoise waters.
Its rocky coves and bays provide important nursery grounds for charismatic species like the Critically Endangered Mediterranean monk seal as well as many commercially-valuable species. It is also the only known breeding spot for the Endangered Mediterranean population of sandbar sharks.
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and local partner The Mediterranean Conservation Society are now working with community members to help them take an active role in patrolling and monitoring six No Fishing Zones as a means to minimise illegal fishing activity, promote fish stock and habitat recovery, and raise awareness of the need to protect the marine environment for the benefit of local livelihoods.
Gökova Bay in Turkey is dynamic and growing. While fishing is a major component of the identity of the local area, the bay is increasingly becoming popular with tourists due to its exceptional environment which could offer visitors (when developed responsibly) a unique experience to see rare marine fauna and flora. With funding from the Travel Foundation, the 'Back to the Sea' project takes advantage of the above factors by offering local fishermen relevant training, capacity building and access to the tourism industry in order to diversify their income by offering marine excursions to visitors, sharing traditional fishing knowledge, and communicating the importance of effective Marine Protected Areas.
The Gökova Bay Marine Protected Area is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, encompassing important seagrass beds, endangered dusky groupers, giant devil rays and Critically Endangered sharks and Mediterranean monk seals. FFI and local partners are working to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of marine resource management in the Gökova Bay Marine Protected Area. As a first step, the project will enable local community members to take an active role in patrolling and monitoring six 'No Take Zones' (areas that are closed to fishing) as a means to minimise illegal fishing activity, promote fish stock and habitat recovery, and raise awareness of the need to protect the marine environment for the benefit of local livelihoods.

Obesity still a top health threat to pets, nutritionist says
C.A. Tony Buffington, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl ACVN, is a professor in the department of veterinary sciences at The Ohio State University, Columbus. He has conducted extensive research on the clinical nutrition of small-animal patients and the lower urinary tract disorders of cats. Here Dr. Buffington shares his thoughts on the indoor-cat initiative, nutrition issues facing pets, the difference between compliance and adherence, and future research endeavors.
DVM: What would you say are some of greatest nutrition issues facing pets today?
We should attempt to prevent obesity, because it's not so easy to treat. Our approach to therapy for obesity includes variable combinations of diet, activity, stress reduction and rehabilitation therapy.
DVM: How do you think we got to this place of rampant obesity among pets?
Buffington: It's probably not one factor. It's partly the result of the increasing complexity of life, which can be stressful to people and animals. When it's stressful for humans, it's stressful for animals. As kids, we all knew when our parents were having a fight; our animals know that, too. Additionally, there's an enormous amount of readily available, calorically dense food, and it's really hard keep these pets active. Many neighborhoods do not have good places to walk. It is difficult to find the time in many people's lives for activity. So I think every case is going to be a little different. Those are the general features contributing to this situation.
DVM: What's the indoor-cat initiative, and how does it impact the practice of veterinary medicine?
Buffington: Since the late 1970s or so, as people have moved into more urban environments and taken their cats and other animals with them, our animals are being exposed to different environments just like we are. That may call for different approaches to animal husbandry.
In the university practice here, for example, a number of owners didn't grow up around animals. They didn't have lots of animals as pets, so maybe they don't know as much about how animals behave as people who have had those experiences.
The cat initiative effort was designed to try to educate people on how to be a good animal owner. What do cats really need, and how can owners help meet those needs?

From reader'GAFF':
If a kid can't wear a shirt to school that says "Homosexuality is shameful," then nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag on American soil. If calling a gay person a "faggot" is hate-speech, then so is burning our flag; it's hate speech towards patriotic Americans. If someone wants to burn the American flag, fine —just do it somewhere other than America. People who take advantage of all the opportunity this country affords should not have the right to desecrate this sacred symbol of our freedom; that's not freedom of speech, it's treasonous. It seems like the left wants to have all the power to decide what is "politically correct" and what is hate-speech. Funny how liberals can say all the hateful things they want about Christians, conservatives and America and it's "freedom of speech," but if someone says they don't support illegal immigrants or gay rights initiatives, then it's bigoted hate-speech. The hypocrisy is sickening.
