Our podiatric surgeon Dr Andrew Knox performs an advanced surgical technique for bunion correction in Perth which significantly reduces the downtime after surgery in comparison with the traditional surgery technique still employed by most foot surgeons in Australia. The surgery involves the use of a headless compression screw which is placed through the bone being realigned which allows for primary bone healing to occur at the site where the bunion has been corrected. This significantly reduces the time taken for the bone to heal overall. Patients are permitted to weightbear immediately post-surgery and generally return to activities 50% faster than in more traditional approaches of bunion correction. he surgery is usually performed as a day surgery procedure under general anaesthesia and generally takes around 45 minutes.

This is the most common breathing problem in premature infants. The earlier the delivery, the greater the risk of RDS. This condition is caused by an insufficient amount of surfactant, a foamy, fluid substance produced by the lungs between the 34th and 36th week of pregnancy. Surfactant lubricates the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) and allowing them expand without over-stretching and to get smaller without collapsing. This rhythm of expansion and contraction is what moves the air into and out of the lungs.
RDS can range from mild to severe.
Chest X-ray shows the structures of the heart and lungs and can help determine whether your child has RDS. It also can detect other problems, such as a collapsed lung, that may require urgent treatment.
Blood tests show if there's enough oxygen in an infant's blood. They can also determine if an infection is the root cause of a baby's breathing problems.
Echocardiography uses sound waves to take a moving picture of the heart and find out if a defect in this organ is the cause of an infant's breathing problems.
Mild cases often respond to breathing support with nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nasal-CPAP). Some extra oxygen may be added as well.
In more severe cases, infants may need a breathing tube and for a time, some may be connected to a breathing machine.
An artificial surfactant can also be placed in the baby’s lungs through the breathing tube. This helps the lungs expand and move the air with greater ease. RDS usually starts to improve by the third or fourth day of life.

Whenever an application runs, it runs under a main thread. However, running a single thread can sometimes lead to unnecessary performance and locking issues. So if the application can be broken into multiple threads without hampering the flow of the main thread, then using it is always better.
The following care needs to be taken while going for multithreading.
While using the threads we need to be very careful about the flow of each individual thread. Otherwise, there is a heavy probability of deadlock creation when multithreading comes into picture.
All the sub-internal threads need to be ended before the main thread ends.
The image given below shows the difference between the single threaded and multi-threaded applications. In a single threaded application, the flow gets confined to one thread only. Therefore, one independent portion of the application may also have to wait for a long time to get executed, resulting in an overall increase of Response and execution time. In a multithreading environment the independent section of an application gets executed by the separate threads and can continue execution by also doing time-span overlaps. So at any particular instant there is every possibility of execution of more than one thread, resulting in a significant rise in performance.
As discussed above, Deadlock is a major issue that usually comes up while multithreading. To avoid this up to a certain extent and also manage the flow of sub-threads, each thread gets associated with a priority.
When a thread starts its priority it can either be set by the programmer or by the operating system. In a locking situation the highest priority thread usually locks the system by keeping the resources engaged, while other low priority threads keep waiting for it. This creates a locking situation.
In .NET, the threading is handled through the System.Threading namespace.
Creating a variable of the System.Threading.Thread type allows you to create a new thread to start working with.
It is clear to everybody that the concept of threading is to go off and do another task. The Thread constructor requires the address of the procedure that will do the work for the thread.
The AddressOf is the parameter that the constructor needs to begin using the thread.
Below is an example of a simple threading application.
The output of the above code is shown in Figures 3 and 4. The complete source code for our sample application can be downloaded from the Downloads section given at the end of this article. The given code populates two dropdowns on a form. Now let us see a comparison between the single threaded application and the multithreaded application.
In the given scenario, if we implement the single thread [demon thread], then we need to populate the 1st dropdown for which we need to run a loop. After the 1st loop is over then go for the second loop.
Here, in a multithreaded application, in order to populate the 2nd dropdown, we do not need to wait for the population of the 1st one. That means at the same time we can populate the two dropdowns; this bring the execution time to half of the execution time of 1st one.
The above example is a simple one that demonstrates how the multithreaded application can bring the execution time to (1/n)th of the total execution time, where n = Number of threads used.
The multithreading is something that can be either a wish or a curse (dual role). It all depends on how efficiently the developer uses this in his application. My guess is that by now you understand how this can play the dual role. So please be cautious while going for this fellow so that you can keep developing powerful applications.

David Chesky’s series of 18 modern virtuoso solo piano rags are inspired by life in the bustling and intense metropolis of New York City, a place he has called home since 1974. The work seems to owe as much to Henry Cowell and Charles Ives’ use of dissonance, Elliott Carter’s atonalism, Conlon Nancarrow’s experimental piano rolls, Leonard Bernstein’s syncopation, and Cecil Taylor’s whirlwind free jazz as they do to Joplin’s ragtime classics. These pieces are taken from Chesky’s unique rhythmic and harmonic style of composition, fused together with stride piano and ragtime to capture the everyday life of modern pulsating New York City.

Ernest Hemingway, American Nobel Prize-winning author, was one of the most celebrated and influential literary stylists of the twentieth century. His critical reputation rests solidly upon a small body of exceptional writing, set apart by its style, emotional content, and dramatic intensity of vision.
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, on July 21, 1898. His father was a country physician who taught his son hunting and fishing; his mother was a religious woman, active in church affairs, who led her son to play the cello and sing in the choir. Hemingway's early years were spent largely in fighting the feminine influence of his mother while feeding off the influence of his father. He spent the summers with his family in the woods of northern Michigan, where he often accompanied his father on professional calls. The discovery of his father's apparent lack of courage, later depicted in the short story "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," and his suicide several years later left the boy with an emotional scar.
Despite the intense pleasure Hemingway took from outdoor life and his popularity in high school—where he distinguished himself as a scholar and athlete—he ran away from home twice. However, his first real chance for escape came in 1917, when the United States entered World War I (1914–18; a war in which forces clashed for European control). Eager to serve his country in the war, he volunteered for active service in the infantry (foot soldiers) but was rejected because of eye trouble.
Hemingway then enlisted in the Red Cross medical service, driving an ambulance on the Italian front. He was badly wounded in the knee yet carried a wounded man on his back a considerable distance to the aid station. After having over two hundred shell fragments (parts of bullets) removed from his legs and body, Hemingway next enlisted in the Italian infantry, served on the Austrian front until the armistice (truce), and was decorated for bravery by the Italian government. Hemingway soon returned home where he was hailed as a hero.
Europe, gave him letters of introduction to Gertrude Stein (1846–1946) and Ezra Pound (1885–1972)—two American writers living in Europe. Hemingway and his bride, Hadley Richardson, journeyed to Paris, where he learned much from these two well-known authors. Despite his lack of money and poor living conditions, these were the happiest years of Hemingway's life, as well as the most artistically productive.
In 1923 Hemingway published his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems. The poems are insignificant, but the stories give strong indication of his emerging genius. With In Our Time (1925) Hemingway drew on his experiences while summering in Michigan to depict the initiation into the world of pain and violence of young Nick Adams, a model for later Hemingway heroes.
Hemingway returned to the United States in 1926 with the manuscripts of two novels and several short stories. That May, Scribner's issued Hemingway's second novel, The Sun Also Rises. This novel, the major statement of the "lost generation," describes a group of Americans and Englishmen, all of whom have suffered physically and emotionally during the war.
In December 1929 A Farewell to Arms was published. This novel tells the story of a tragic love affair between an American soldier and an English nurse set against the backdrop of war and collapsing world order. It contains a philosophical expression of the Hemingway code that man is basically helpless in a violent age: "The world breaks everyone," reflects the main character, "and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that it will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of those you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry."
Hemingway revealed his passionate interest in bull-fighting in Death in the Afternoon (1932), a humorous and unique nonfiction study. Hemingway's African safari in 1934 provided the material for another nonfiction work, The Green Hills of Africa (1935), as well as two of his finest short stories, "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."
In 1940 Hemingway published For Whom the Bell Tolls, his most ambitious novel. A wonderfully clear narrative, it is written in less lyrical and more dramatic prose (nonpoetry writing) than his earlier work.
Following the critical and popular success of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway lapsed into a literary silence that lasted a full decade and was largely the result of his strenuous, frequently reckless, activities during World War II (1939–45; a war in which France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States fought against Germany, Italy, and Japan). In 1942, as a Collier's correspondent with the Third Army, he witnessed some of the bloodiest battles in Europe. At this time he received the nickname of "Papa" from his admirers, both military and literary.
In 1944 while in London, Hemingway met and soon married Mary Welsh, a Time reporter. His three previous marriages—to Hadley Richardson, mother of one son; to Pauline Pfeiffer, mother of his second and third sons; and to Martha Gelhorn—had all ended in divorce. Following the war, Hemingway and his wife purchased a home, Finca Vigía, near Havana, Cuba.
In 1952 The Old Man and the Sea was published. A novella (short novel) about an extraordinary battle between a tired old Cuban fisherman and a giant marlin, it was immediately hailed as a masterpiece and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. A year later, Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Hemingway's declining physical condition and increasingly severe mental problems drastically reduced his literary output in the last years of his life. A journey to Africa planned by the author and his wife in 1954 ended in their plane crash over the Belgian Congo. Hemingway suffered severe burns and internal injuries from which he never fully recovered. Additional strain occurred when the revolutionary Cuban government of Fidel Castro (1926–) forced the Hemingways to leave Finca Vigía.
After only a few months in their new home in Ketchum, Idaho, Hemingway was admitted to the Mayo Clinic to be treated for hypertension (high blood pressure) and depression, and was later treated with electroshock therapy, a radical therapy where an electric current is sent through the body. Made bitter by an illness that humiliated him physically and impaired his writing, he killed himself with a shotgun on July 2, 1961.
Many of Hemingway's unpublished and unfinished works were published after his death. Because of his amazing body of work, and his intense approach to life, Hemingway was arguably one of the most influential American writers of the twentieth century.

Knowing how to use your software technology improves your productivity – immediately! Sounds simple and it is. As complex and sophisticated as software is today, how many of you actually know how to use it effectively? When doing my research on what makes companies consistently grow and profit I discovered the true value of technology. Technology has a purpose to make things simpler for people – which feels counter-initiative based upon the lack of training and support for most software.
Is your software doing the automatic and simplifying the routine for you today? If you are one of the lucky ones that has been trained on the software that you use everyday, then great – stop reading. If you are not one of the lucky ones, how can you move to those ranks?
There are many technology/software training companies located in the bigger cities. However, the best system for me provides flexibility to learn about my software anytime and anywhere. To select specific topics or techniques that I need immediately or a reminder for seldom used functions or actual software – you need flexible. While it is not usually to discuss business issues to name a specific resource is different for me.
You need to check out Lynda.com and test drive the learning. If you like it, you can sign up for what works for you. Personally, I have used this system for the past six months with outstanding results. I have learned how to use or should I say – properly or fully use my everyday software collection. I have also learned how to use some new software collections and have actually learned how to build a website, use certain code effectively, question my webmaster more acurately, and most importantly get things done much faster and simpler that in the past.
I’m not selling this and there is no hidden link or cookie from my site. Only an open testimonial to a system that I find working for me. Enjoy and learn some new things about that software on your computer!

knowing how to use your software technology improves your productivity – immediately! sounds simple and it is. as complex and sophisticated as software is today, how many of you actually know how to use it effectively? when doing my research on what makes companies consistently grow and profit i discovered the true value of technology. technology has a purpose to make things simpler for people – which feels counter-initiative based upon the lack of training and support for most software.
is your software doing the automatic and simplifying the routine for you today? if you are one of the lucky ones that has been trained on the software that you use everyday, then great – stop reading. if you are not one of the lucky ones, how can you move to those ranks?
there are many technology/software training companies located in the bigger cities. however, the best system for me provides flexibility to learn about my software anytime and anywhere. to select specific topics or techniques that i need immediately or a reminder for seldom used functions or actual software – you need flexible. while it is not usually to discuss business issues to name a specific resource is different for me.
you need to check out lynda.com and test drive the learning. if you like it, you can sign up for what works for you. personally, i have used this system for the past six months with outstanding results. i have learned how to use or should i say – properly or fully use my everyday software collection. i have also learned how to use some new software collections and have actually learned how to build a website, use certain code effectively, question my webmaster more acurately, and most importantly get things done much faster and simpler that in the past.

(or final salary pension scheme) provides benefits that are guaranteed to be a proportion of final salary at retirement. The major advantage of this type of scheme for the employee is the guaranteed nature of the benefits.
the rules of the scheme will determine the rate at which benefits accrue, e.g. 1/60th of pensionable salary for each year and complete month of pensionable service.
this is the definition of salary that is used to calculate the member’s benefits at date of leaving or retirement.
As well as a pension, a defined benefit scheme will also provide a tax-free cash lump sum, known as the pension commencement lump sum (PCLS) at retirement. The rules of the scheme will dictate how much tax-free cash can be accrued for each year of service.
The contributions paid to a money purchase pension (or defined contribution) scheme are used to establish a pension fund. The eventual size of the fund is determined by the amount of contributions paid, the charges deducted by the pension provider and the investment returns achieved over the term to retirement (or death).
The benefits provided will depend on the size of the fund at retirement or death. The member may have the option of purchasing a scheme pension or of flexibly accessing their pension savings, either via a drawdown pension option or by taking some, or all, of the fund as an uncrystallised funds pension lump sum (UFPLS). The rules of the scheme will determine which options are offered.
A scheme does not have to offer all (or even any) of the flexible access options and some schemes may only offer the option of a lifetime annuity.
A money purchase scheme may be an occupational scheme provided by an employer for the benefit of the employees, or it may be an individual arrangement funded by the member (and sometimes by the employer as well).
are individual money purchase arrangements, whereby the contributions paid build up in a fund, which is usually either with-profits or unit-linked. The fund can be accessed by the member from the normal minimum pension age of 55 (or earlier if the member is in ill-health or has a protected pension age).
is, in effect, a low cost personal pension. The only difference is that a stakeholder pension scheme is subject to certain minimum standards, concerning, e.g. charges, investment choice, minimum contributions etc.
occupational arrangement. Although a group stakeholder or group personal pension plan may look similar to an occupational pension scheme, it is actually a series of individual money purchase arrangements. Within the group plan each employee has their own arrangement, which belongs to them.
A SIPP, which is an individual money purchase arrangement, is simply a personal pension scheme that has a much wider investment choice than a traditional one offered by a life office. For example, a SIPP can invest directly in company shares or can be used to purchase a commercial property. It can also borrow funds from a third party, such as a Bank.
It has not been possible to take out a new retirement annuity contract since 1 July 1988, although an individual with an existing RAC can continue to contribute to it. Because RACs were previously approved under s.226 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970, they are sometimes known as section 226s.
An occupational money purchase scheme works on the same principle as a personal or stakeholder pension, with the difference that an employer sets it up on behalf of its employees.
The employer sets the scheme’s eligibility requirements and the rules of the scheme specify the level of contributions to be paid and other factors, such as the age to which the company will pay contributions, the options available when benefits are taken etc.
As well as large occupational money purchase schemes, there are a few variations designed for senior employers and directors and for transfer purposes.
were generally set up as ‘one-man’ schemes aimed at directors and senior employees, usually so that higher benefits could be provided for such employees separate from the main occupational scheme. EPP’s were set up prior to April 2006.
are aimed at company directors and senior employees. A SSAS is defined as a self-administered scheme that has less than twelve members, all of whom must be trustees. They offer a separate pension option for directors and senior employees due to their special additional features and, in particular, for the investment options they provide.
Were, designed to accept benefits transferred in from an occupational pension scheme set up prior to 6 April 2006.
Targeted money purchase schemes are ‘hybrid’ schemes with features common to both defined benefit schemes and money purchase schemes. Under a targeted money purchase scheme a target level of benefit is determined, usually in line with the benefits provided by a defined benefit scheme, i.e. a pension that is a proportion of final salary at or close to retirement. An actuary calculates the contribution rate required to provide the targeted benefit.
The contribution rate for each member is regularly reviewed to keep the funding of the scheme on course to provide the intended level of benefit, often with the advice of an actuary. At retirement, the value of the member’s money purchase assets may be topped up, if necessary, to ensure that the target level of benefits is provided. This topping up may come from either an unallocated account held within the scheme for this purpose; or additional special contributions from the employer.
are defined benefit schemes that also has some of the characteristics of a money purchase scheme.
This provides pension benefits at retirement or earlier death that are the higher of the benefits calculated on the normal defined benefit basis and the benefits arising from a notional money purchase plan. It offers a transfer value for early leavers that will be the higher of the fund built up in a notional money purchase arrangement and the transfer value based on the defined benefits provided by the scheme.
if a transfer value is taken, it may well be the larger of the notional money purchase account or the cash equivalent of the deferred defined benefit.
This type of scheme offers the scheme member a money purchase benefit, with a minimum level of pension related to their final salary and so is in many respects the mirror image of the money purchase underpin scheme. The scheme operates by having the usual money purchase account for each member plus a separate unallocated account to meet the cost of the guarantee where there is insufficient in the member’s account.
The most common type is a Contracted-Out Money Purchase Scheme with a GMP underpin.
Career average schemes are those where the formula used to determine benefits is based on the average earnings over a member’s career and not on their earnings at or near a set age. This tends to reduce the benefits provided to the member and thus the cost to the employer of operating such a scheme.
Anyone whose pay significantly increases as retirement approaches is better off in a traditional defined benefit scheme, rather than a career average scheme. However, it may work out better for a member whose salary reduces as retirement approaches (perhaps because of a move to a less senior position in later years).
The earnings may be revalued in line with price inflation or, more generously, some assessment of earnings inflation. However, an individual’s actual career progression, which may lead to significantly higher earnings in the later years of their working life, is effectively ignored. This is because each year is considered in isolation, rather than the total pension accrual being based on the salary at or close to retirement.
Some employers replace their defined benefit schemes with career average arrangements as a halfway house between defined benefit and money purchase. They sometimes accompany the change with a small increase in accrual rate, e.g. 1/60th to 1/56th.
It is important to remember that such a change is only in respect of future accrual.
each member accrues a proportion of their pensionable salary for each year of pensionable service, e.g. 1/56th per year; for active members of the scheme the amount accrued in each year will be based on the member’s salary for the year in question; and each year’s accrual will then be revalued to retirement in line with the scheme rules; this could be in line with inflation (e.g. with increases in the CPI) or by a fixed amount each year.

Machine learning’s ability to adapt to changing conditions makes it especially well-aligned with the nature of today’s warehouses, where work is more dynamic and more real-time than ever before. Couple that with enormous increases in SKU counts along with new customer expectations. modern supply-chains must incorporate smarter, real-time decision making.
This phase kicks off the project and is a collaborative effort to define the functional and technical requirements for the project. A detailed flow analysis of each function is evaluated and agreed upon. A design document creates the “blueprint” and provides a guideline for a successful implementation.
The configuration and integration phase is started based on the blueprint from the functional phase. Customer’s can easily integrate with JASCI’s modern REST API’s, leverage our ecosystem API’s, or contract JASCI to perform integrations.
Customers will learn the Wizards and SmartTask workflow engine during this phase, as part of our knowledge transfer approach. Mobile devices are also being setup at this time, so workflow can be tested as it is being configured.
At this point the Customer begins testing in conjunction with the JASCI team. This is one of the most important phases, as rigorously testing the configuration and processes is key to the success of the project. This will be the most time-consuming phase as we emphasize that proper testing equates to a successful implementation. As issues arise, our teams will put corrective actions in place to resolve any identified issues.
Covers all pre go-live activities, such as end user training, data conversion, physical inventory, mobile device deployment, in preparation for go-live. Final testing is completed and Customer signs-off for go-live.
Teams are typically on-site to support the go-live. Support procedures are put in place, and transitioned to our support center. Final system handoff and sign-off from Customer.
Ecommerce is driving new levels of consumer expectations where low price, product selection and delivery are driving decisions.
Manual decision points and process will no longer keep companies competitive, nor even attract the talent needed to take your company to the next level.
Our machine learning technology will make the average company leaner, more effective and provide better service levels than the industry giants.
Every Company wants to increase revenue, that’s a “no-brainer”. Machine learning technology will help companies attain new levels of revenue by working with real-time events and making smarter decisions. A quick example is in Ecommerce. Over-selling and under-selling is a real problem for most companies that work with many selling channels. This usually happens due to manual decisions and inneficient communications which effects both the top line revenue and bottom line profits. Smarter software systems reduce both situations, so you can maximize revenue and profits.
Machine learning technology will bring new levels of efficiency, thereby decreasing operational costs. As labor has become both expensive and scarce, leveraging newer decision making technology will be imperative to remain competitive.
Ecommerce is driving new levels of growth. Many of our Customers leverage JASCI’s machine learning technology for scaling order fulfillment without having to build new facilities. This works by leveraging labor, inventory and locations in ways not done before.
Smarter software using machine learning technology to make real-time decisions throughout the warehouse and supply-chain. These decisions are based on several key objectives that are linked to priorities, speed, efficiency & accuracy.
Managing inventory and slotting within the warehouse in real-time provides for efficiency, speed & growth. Machine learning technology learns as it works so that companies can optimally manage inventory and locations without manual decisions.
JASCI's experienced staff and consulting partners have automated thousands of supply-chains. You can request consulting as part of the project, and at an additional fee, we will recommend and deploy the right consultants to help guide your transformation.
Ship in over 50 Countries Easily setup pack stations in one or multiple locations. Pack stations can be setup for Singles and Multi-line item processing. Cartonization rules can be applied, along with integrating scales and barcode printers.
JASCI and our qualified implementation partners will guide your implementation from start to finish. Our approach was designed to get you up and running quickly, to start realizing the benefits of our platform.

text: Maloya is a form of music, song and dance native to Réunion Island. Of mixed racial origins since its outset, maloya was created by Malagasy and African slaves on the sugar plantations and was eventually appropriated by the whole of the island’s population. Initially conceived as a dialogue between a soloist and a choir accompanied by percussion instruments, maloya exists today in an increasing variety of forms, both in terms of texts and instruments (the introduction of djembes, synthesizers, drums, etc.). Sung and danced on stage by professional or semi-professional artists, it is mixed with rock, reggae or jazz and inspires poetry and slam. Although originally dedicated to ancestral worship as part of a ritual, maloya has gradually over time become a song of lament against slavery, and for the past thirty years it has represented the island’s identity. Every cultural, political and social event on the island is accompanied by maloya, which thus became a vehicle for asserting political rights. Today, it is kept alive by 300 documented groups, including a number of world-famous artists, and by specialized music teaching at the Conservatoire de la Réunion. An element of national identity, an example of cultural mixing, a moral touchstone and a model for integration, maloya is nevertheless threatened by social changes and by the disappearance of its main exponents and the practice of venerating ancestors.

President-elect Barack Obama intends to nominate Julius Genachowski, an adviser on technology issues and a longtime friend, to become the next chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, The New York Times’s Stephen Labaton reported, citing advisers to Mr. Obama.
Mr. Genachowski, 46, played a leading role in the Obama campaign’s highly successful online strategy and was a major fundraiser for the campaign. He and Mr. Obama both attended Columbia, though they were in different classes. They became friendly at Harvard Law School, where they both served in top positions at the Harvard Law Review . They have also been basketball buddies.
During the campaign Mr. Genachowski shaped many of Mr. Obama’s telecommunications and technology policies. He advocated an open Internet in the debate over so-called net neutrality, and media ownership rules that promoted a diversity of voices on the airwaves.
While it is difficult to predict what direction Mr. Genachowski will take the commission, an analysis by Stifel Nicolaus, an investment firm, said that it expected that “the regulatory initiative is likely to shift” away from some from incumbent — like the large telephone companies — to new entrants and other “nontraditional telecom and media players” including such companies as Google, Yahoo and eBay.
It speculated that Mr. Genachowski would seek to spur competition among the wireless carriers as a counterbalance to the dominance of the telephone and cable companies. And it said that Mr. Genachowski is unlikely to be as aggressive in his approach to regulating the cable industry as the current chairman, Kevin J. Martin, has been.
Mr. Martin has not set a departure date, although he is widely expected to step down soon. If he leaves before Mr. Genachowski’s confirmation, then Mr. Obama is expected to name one of the two remaining Democratic commissioners — Michael J. Copps or Jonathan S. Adelstein — as interim chairman.
People involved in the transition told The Times that Mr. Genachowski was a top candidate for both F.C.C. chairman and a new White House position overseeing technology issues that has not yet been fully defined.
Over the last decade, the chairman of the F.C.C. has played a more expansive role in regulating the economy, particularly with the rise of the Internet and wireless communications. Now, as the new administration plans to make the expansion of broadband and Internet services a significant part of its stimulus package, Mr. Genachowski, with his close ties to Mr. Obama, could have a larger role in shaping economic policy than many of his predecessors.
Mr. Genachowski, the son of Eastern European Jews who fled during the Holocaust, is married to the documentary filmmaker Rachel Goslins, whose latest film, “Bama Girl,” documents the 2005 homecoming queen contest at the University of Alabama.
Upon graduating from law school, he clerked for Judge Abner J. Mikva of the United States Court of Appeals. Mr. Obama had turned down a clerkship with Judge Mikva. Mr. Genachowski later clerked for Supreme Court Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and David H. Souter.
He was chief counsel to Reed Hundt, an F.C.C. chairman during the Clinton administration. He then worked for eight years as a senior executive at the IAC/Interactive Corporation, run by Barry Diller. He also founded an investment and advisory firm for digital media companies and co-founded the country’s first commercial “green” bank.
