Fully Promoted's rapid growth resulted in 50 stores opening up within only two years of its establishment. There are now more than 350 stores located in 26 different countries, including Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Singapore, Mexico, South Africa and Qatar, just to name a few.
ASI (Advertising Specialty Institute) has routinely ranked Fully Promoted on its yearly ASI Top 50 Distributor List:

Obama's Manufactured Border Crisis
by Bethany Stotts on June 20, 2014
The Obama administration is causing yet another crisis by allowing pregnant illegal immigrants and illegal immigrant parents with young children to stay in the United States to await 30-day hearings they will probably never show up for. This is, in many cases, not enforceable. After all, if the pregnant women were to have their children while in the United States, these babies would automatically become American citizens. (Fox News reports, "Many of them are in the advanced stages of pregnancy" and seeking just that.)
With the so-called DREAM regulations created by President Obama, a brighter future lies ahead for many children who were brought here illegally by their parents in the past. Amidst the influx of new illegal immigrants, "Vice President Joe Biden plans to travel to Guatemala to convince young people there that they will not receive the same treatment if they come to the United States now," reports National Review.
And we have learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released 36,000 immigrants, some with criminal records, back into the U.S. last year.
If you're an unaccompanied minor, or in legalese an unaccompanied alien child (UAC), you can count on social services and pro-bono legal support to help you stay in the country and reunite with relatives who already live here. "Our organization, Safe Passage Project, finds that nearly 90 percent of the unaccompanied minors we meet who are facing deportation qualify for immigration relief, allowing them to remain in the United States legally," Safe Passage Project Director Lenni Benson told The New York Times last month. How many illegal alien parents will choose to go this route to ensure that their children have a chance at U.S. citizenship?
The New York Times fails to connect the Obama administration's lax immigration policies to the influx of illegal immigrants, but their own reporting hints at the increase in what they term "migrants." "While most men are held and processed quickly for deportation, border authorities struggling to manage the influx have been releasing pregnant women and parents with young children, allowing them to join family members living here and issuing them a deportation hearing notice," writes Julia Preston for the Times. "Migrants have sent word back home they received a 'permit' to remain at least temporarily in the United States, feeding rumors along migrant routes and spurring others to embark on the long journey."
In other words, this treatment is encouraging what the Times calls "migration"—what should be correctly called "illegal immigration"—across U.S. borders. "With no immigration detention site equipped for women with children in the area—the closest one, in Pennsylvania, is overbooked—they are freed by the Border Patrol with a bus ticket to travel to where they have relatives in this country, and an order to appear in immigration court in 30 days," reports Preston. Yes, the U.S. government is even supplying them with bus tickets to speed these illegal aliens to wherever they choose to go.
And, thus, the Times misinforms its readers. Why isn't it calling for more Border Patrol resources to deal with this problem? Is it because it supports amnesty for illegal aliens, instead? Indeed, following its classic model, the Gray Lady attributes criticisms of the administration to "Republicans," not concerned citizens, thereby dismissing these views as more partisan politics.

BEIJING — China's economic growth sank to its lowest level in at least 26 years in the quarter ending in June, adding to pressure on Chinese leaders as they fight a tariff war with Washington. The world's second-largest economy grew 6.2% over a year ago, down from the previous quarter's 6.4%, government data showed Monday. Forecasters expected China's economy to rebound in late 2018 but pushed back that target after President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to pressure Beijing over its technology development tactics. Now, economists say the slowdown might extend into next year. Weaker Chinese activity carries...
China imports from US plunge 31% in June amid tariff war
BEIJING — China's imports from the United States plunged in June amid a tariff war with Washington while exports to the U.S. market weakened. Imports of U.S. goods fell 31.4% from a year earlier to $9.4 billion, while exports to the American market declined 7.8% to $39.3 billion, customs data showed Friday. China's trade surplus with the United States widened by 3% to $29.9 billion. U.S.-Chinese trade has weakened since President Donald Trump started hiked tariffs last year on goods from China in a fight over Beijing's technology ambitions. China retaliated with penalty duties and ordered importers to find non-U.S....

Japan says it won't discuss or retract SKorea export rules
TOKYO — Japan said Tuesday it does not plan to retract or renegotiate its stricter controls on high-tech exports to South Korea, a day after the South Korean president urged that the issue be resolved through diplomacy. Tokyo tightened the approval process for Japanese shipments of photoresists and other sensitive materials to South Korean companies last week. Japanese officials say such materials can be exported only to trustworthy trading partners, hinting at security risks without citing specific cases. They have rejected suggestions that the move was driven by a worsening in ties between the two countries related to historical issues....
Asian stocks fall ahead of monthly employment data in US
BEIJING — Asian stocks advanced Friday as investors waited for American employment data and details of U.S.-Chinese trade talks. Benchmarks in Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong rose while South Korea's was unchanged. Investors looked ahead to monthly U.S. jobs data due out Friday, which are expected to be a factor in the Federal Reserve's decision this month on interest rates.

Getting Gray To Stay
Phillip Perry | May 01, 2005
NOT LONG AGO many employers looked askance at older workers, figuring they lacked the drive and imagination of their youthful cohorts. And besides, went the reasoning, younger people would work for less money.
But we are entering a period in which the fastest growing workplace segment will be 55- to 64-year-olds. By 2015, according to the American Association of Retired Persons, one of every five employees will be at least 55. That's an increase of 10 million people in an age group that now accounts for 14 percent of employees.
Now that workers are getting older and their replacements are getting scarcer, keeping those older workers happy is more important than ever. What can you do to retain your own? Here's what workplace psychologists say:
Eliminate Stereotypes
Start by making sure your own supervisors worship no false gods of youth. Everyone must come to a fresh understanding about the value of mature employees.
"Employers will have to change their attitudes toward older workers," says Harriet Hankin, president of CGO Consulting Group, Malvern, PA, and author of a book titled The New Workforce (See the box on next page, "Get More Information"). "Researchers have discovered no evidence of a linkage between age and job performance. Indeed, it turns out that older workers have a stronger commitment to quality, experience lower turnover, take fewer days off, are not as tardy and have excellent judgment based on years of experience." And recent studies by the National Council on the Aging (NCOA) found that, compared-with their younger counterparts, older workers had a higher level of commitment to the organization.
Motivate Older Workers
While younger workers may often be motivated by high salaries and the possibilities of advancement, these may not be the primary concerns of mature workers. "Older workers need to feel respected, appreciated and supported," says Ian Jacobsen, a Sunnyvale, CA-based workplace consultant. "While these elements are keys to success with all workers, they are especially important when people are no longer working strictly for economic reasons. When work is competing with family interests and leisure pursuits, the psychic rewards become paramount for retention and motivation."
Older workers are often motivated by respect, not money.
If money does not motivate many older workers, what does? The best way to find out, suggests one human resources expert, is to ask. Try a straightforward question such as "Why do you still want to work?"
Be prepared for a surprise answer and a resultant change in your motivational tactics. An AARP survey found that workers over 45 most desired a friendly work environment (94 percent); respect from coworkers (90 percent); opportunities to use their skills and talents (94 percent); to do something worthwhile (91 percent); to learn something new (88 percent); to help others (86 percent) and to pursue something they've always wanted to do (75 percent).
Those answers suggest fundamental differences in motivation that you need to understand. For example, an individual who wants to leave a good mark on the world might be motivated by assignments to mentor younger employees in areas such as good communications skills, winning sales techniques and productive work habits.
After an interval of time, find out if the worker is getting the rewards desired. Make a point to return to the subject of motivation time and again. Feedback from workers will provide valuable clues on techniques to interact with them and offer incentives that motivate them to stay with your business.
And don't overlook mentoring as a way of boosting workplace performance and job satisfaction. Successful managers, says Hankin, understand that generations can mentor each other. "We have found, for example, that the World War II generation matches nicely with the "millenials" now entering the workforce. Younger workers can train older ones on newer software systems while older workers can provide a sense of history and judgment and wisdom in solving problems."
Introduce Flexible Policies
Both flexible work schedules and phased retirement can work well, says Jacobsen. Older workers who want more time with family or outside interests may welcome part-time schedules that may include employer-sponsored health insurance. (Note: Be sure to clear any policy changes with your attorney to avoid any appearance of age discrimination.)
Age-friendly flexibility can take other forms. Flex time allows workers to start their eight-hour workdays at any hour. Job sharing allows two employees to share the same position, working with each other to coordinate schedules. Short-term projects and special assignments allow individuals who wish to retire to continue contributing to your business.
Resolve Conflicts with Younger Bosses
Conflicts may arise when older workers report to younger bosses. Move quickly to resolve these problems if they arise in your workplace.
The younger supervisor should invite the older employee to a private meeting to discuss friction and resolve the issue through mutual understanding. (For real-world counseling examples, see the box, "Younger Boss, Older Worker.")
Communication is the key. "There is no reason why older and younger workers cannot get along when they respect each other," says Jacobsen. "It is important to communicate your respect and care for the other person, and the fact that you want to improve the relationship. If this message comes across, age usually melts as an issue."
Employers who fail to create work environments friendly to older workers will find them jumping ship for organizations that do. Don't you make that mistake. The tips in this article should help you overcome the challenge of the aging workforce by capitalizing on the benefits available from mature workers.
Be a successful employer who addresses the relevant issues of workplace attitudes, mutual respect, flexibility and conflict resolution. Your mature workers will stick around to lend their expertise and energy to your business.
Younger Boss, Older Worker
Age differences can spark misunderstandings between bosses and subordinates. How can you handle them? To find out we ran two common scenarios by Ian Jacobsen, a Sunnyvale, CA-based consultant who has devoted more than 20 years to resolving workplace issues.Here are his suggestions:
Scenario #1: "The New Boss." You are a 24-year-old who will be taking a position senior to Bob, who is 55. What steps might you take to obviate difficulties?
Jacobsen: "I would set up a one-on-one meeting with Bob to get to know him. I would ask what matters to him in his relationship with his boss. I'd ask him to describe the best boss he has worked for, and the worst, and what each did to earn that reputation. I would tell Bob what I could do to try to make life easier for him and bring out the best in him. I would explain what is important to me as a boss and my expectations of him."
"I would then schedule weekly feedback sessions for the first month to discuss how the relationship is working out for each of us, and then go to monthly sessions. In my interactions with Bob I would endeavor to make him feel that what he was doing was important, and that I respected and appreciated what he was doing.
"If problems arose, I would explain what happened from what I knew, ask for his take on the situation and work with him to correct the problem. Using this approach I would try to demonstrate to Bob that I was a good person to work for, no matter what my age."
Scenario #2: "Troubling Rumors." You have overheard gossip that Wilma, an older worker, does not like working for you because you are too young. What steps should you take?
Jacobsen: "I would not initially confront Wilma directly on the gossip. Instead, I would meet with her to get feedback on how things were going. I'd ask, "What do I do that helps you get your job done? What do I do that makes your job more difficult? What would make a difference to you if I changed?"
"Then, as with Bob, I would set up subsequent feedback times to find out how things are going. If the gossip persisted I would then confront Wilma and say, 'Wilma, what's going on? I've been asking you for feedback on how I am doing as your manager, and I have been making every effort to adjust what I do to bring out the best in you. Yet, I keep hearing persistent comments that you don't like working for me. Is the gossip correct? What does it take to earn your respect?'
"If, after the manager's best efforts, Wilma is still complaining, the manager should take action. I'd say, 'Wilma, I can't afford to have someone on my team who feels about me the way you seem to. It is not good for anyone, so I am letting you go."

Buyers limp, ice looms and wood ducks fly
It's a limp toward Spring. At the top end buyers are still around and they're being seen at inspections, but there's little on offer to excite them. Disinterest rules.
We've been feeling the pulse of Map 58, trying to detect a heartbeat. Hardly a flutter. The agents will tell you that this is the usual Winter hibernation, but there are some indications that we're nearing another Ice Age.
From the agents' perspective, it's a vicious circle: those who haven't seen it all before can't understand why people won't give them their homes to sell while those same people are reluctant to buy elsewhere when there is so little choice.
There could be a break in the clouds after the September school holidays, but we doubt it.
And then, defying logic and expectations, a wood duck lands at 3 Avalon Road, Armadale. After an expressions of interest campaign that floundered for months, suddenly a buyer appears with, we believe, $7.5 million in hand. Or about $1 million more than we would have paid. Quack.
Saturday's action at the top end, or lack of it, was confined to Boroondarra.
23 Chaucer Crescent, Canterbury, period house with a court, passed in with three bidders and sold afterwards in the high 3s. The vendors were originally chasing $4 million.
5 Callantina Road, Hawthorn, right in the centre of the Scotch mafia, again passed in and sold later: $3,330,000
They're the kind of results which suggest that too many vendors are still ahead of where the market has retreated. Their choices are to wait the arrival of the endangered wood duck (see Avalon Road) or to lower their expectations.
The industry offers an interesting mix. There are agents with the experience to survive even an Ice Age, but there's a bunch of the younger crew who have never seen a real downturn before and will have to learn fast how to survive the chill; while end-of-epoch barren wastes are wandered by lonely dinosaurs who have still to come to grips with how their world is being changed by the internet – who struggle even with text messaging.
Just when you thought you'd seen it all dept.
The latest in off-market transactions. Last week, a new offering appeared at $20 million plus. But before the agent will tell you where the house is or how much you will be expected to pay, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Really? Kids, there are maybe five people in this town who are looking at that level and you don't want them talking to each other, is that it? Could it be that the property is obscenely over-priced and you don't want them comparing notes? Perish the thought.
Slow hammer, cont'd
There's been a new development in the hammer saga. Slow hammers – when an auctioneer takes forever to knock a property down even after bidding has stopped – are now so very last week. Damian's eye-witness report is below. It reinforces our argument that Consumer Affairs Victoria and the REIV must put forward a system that is fair to all parties. If bidders cannot take auctioneers at their word and don't know even after a property is declared on the market whether they are bidding for the right to buy or only to refer, that adds yet another unneccessary uncertainty.
Something to say? Your comments are welcome. Click on "Comments" below.
Bayside battens down.
With little of substance on offer, buyers were in shut-down mode on the weekend: average to poor auction clearance rates and, more telling, very few privately transacted sales made during the week.
Brighton's highest and only auction result was a modest $683,000 for 8/49 Wilson Street. There was also a mysterious $3.1 million sale recorded in Black Street; which we reported as sold weeks ago.
Although I am told there are a number of sales pending in the middle and top end, it appears that may be wishful thinking on behalf of some agents who are struggling to bridge the gaps between their clients' expectations and reality.
Beaumaris and Black Rock had the week off and Hampton wasn't much better with the better of two only results:
2/25 Keith Street, Hampton East, sold for $735,000.
36 Villeroy Street — a well located and renovated period house in the highly regarded Castlefield Estate — was surprisingly ignored. The highest bid was the vendor's $1.51 million and the reserve is set at $1.65 million. When a property like this one fails to excite, alarm bells should be ringing.
Sandringham offered two properties with price expectations well in excess of $2 million.
Not unexpectedly, neither sold nor attracted a single bidder.
44 Tennyson Street pushed a lot of buttons: it's in a blue ribbon part of the suburb, is a timber reproduction of the beachside style and offers all the fittings and finishes expected in a quality house. But … a family size property with this accommodation on only 590 sq m? The agent's report was brutally frank: no bidders, reserve $2.25 million.
Nearby at 3-5 Heath Street, a generous allotment of 1813 sq m — formerly an aged care facility — was passed in on a vendor bid of $2.5 million with the reserve a fair hike further North of that: $2.9 million.
Bentleigh provided some hope with solid results in excess of a million dollars at two auctions.
3 Hobart Street brought $1,085,00 and 20 Talbot Avenue $1,210,000
Mr Gavel reinvents auctions
Over the weekend, we were on the receiving end of a new gavel bangers' tactic.
We were bidding on behalf of a client on a property which had been quoted at $1.05-1.2 million.
Including us, there were three bidders. When bidding reached $1.2 million, we asked whether the property was on the market. "I will let you know," came the reply. Bidding continued to $1.25 million. Same question, same answer. $1.28 million. Same question, and this time Mr Gavel sent his scribe inside to ask the vendor. Yes, came the answer and Mr Gavel loudly and unequivocally declared the property to be on the market and would be sold to the highest bidder.
At $1.33 million, we had exhausted the only other bidder and after making his first, second and third call, Mr Gavel was about to knock it down to us and then decided to head inside "…to seek final instructions!"
Pardon? Did you not say in front of this assembled throng that the property would be sold to the highest bidder? That's us, Mr Gavel.
We were not quite that polite.
But, no, he went in anyway then re-emerged a full two minutes later and re-opened the bidding; urging the under-bidder to get back into the race.
That grubby little exercise cost our client another $20,000 before it was finally knocked down to us at $1.35 million.
Our client is now seeking legal advice on the laws of misleading and deceptive conduct and how to recover his $20,000.
Watch this space.

ConspiracyCosmosETs UFOsRecent Articles
U.S. Major General Blows Whistle On What They Really Found On Mars
Alexander LightSeptember 25, 2015
"The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources — those in a position to know — about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined."
The statement above comes from John Podesta (you can find the source for this quote, and more from Podesta on UFOs in this article), Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton and Counselor to Barack Obama. It's a powerful statement, because it's true.
We now have witness testimony from hundreds upon hundreds of high ranking, very credible people from within politics and government, military, and intelligence agencies saying that the UFO and extraterrestrial phenomenon is indeed real and deserves serious attention.
To view some of these statements from just a few of these 'credible' people, you can click here.
We also have official, declassified documentation to back up these statements, you can view some of those here.
If you put two and two together, it's clear that:
"There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been contacting us for a very long time." – Dr. Brian O'Leary, Former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor (source)
But it's not just the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon that seems to be gaining more transparency.
Strange things have been observed in space. Perhaps this is why the Russian government recently called for an international investigation regarding the missing film footage of the U.S. moon landings, or why a U.S. Defence physicist and the Deputy Manager of the Clemintine Mission to the moon recently blew the whistle on what's really up there.
Major General Albert Stubblebine can be added to the long list. Although he did not participate in the Citizens Hearing On UFO disclosure (where a number of military, political, academic, and government personnel testified to several former congressional members), his credentials speak for themselves.
Related: Time Travel, Mars Colony and Political Control of the Human Population
General Stubblebine (above) is a retired United States Major General. He was also the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), and one of America's most distinguished soldiers and chief of U.S. Army Intelligence, with 16,000 soldiers under his command.
He was a major proponent of "psychic" warfare and a key player in the "Stargate" project, which was a remote viewing program. Remote viewing can be defined in multiple ways. It's the ability of individuals to describe a remote geographical location up to several hundred thousand kilometers away (sometimes even more) from their physical location.
The results of this project were declassified and published in the peer reviewed Journal of Scientific Exploration. (source) In this program, individuals successfully described physical objects that were nowhere near their physical location.
These programs were the inspiration behind the movie "Men Who Stare At Goats."
Here's what General Stubblebine had to say about Mars, perhaps thanks to some intel from the Remote Viewing Program?
"There are structures on the surface of Mars. I will tell you for the record that there are structures underneath the surface of Mars that cannot be seen by the Voyager cameras that went by in 1976. I will also tell you that there are machines on the surface of Mars and there are machines under the surface of Mars that you can look at, you can find out in detail, you can see what they are, where they are, who they are and a lot of detail about them." — (Dolan, Richard. UFOs And The National Security State; New York: Richard Dolan Press)(source 2)
I'll let you think about that for a moment. Is it really that farfetched? With all of the recent UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon disclosure happening within the past few years, is it really hard to fathom the existence of structures, bases, etc. on the Moon and on Mars?

Alive Quotes
A 'live' show is either alive or not. Free speech is free or it is not. Viewers are free to use their remote or TiVo. Parents are responsible or they are not.
Frank Pierson
Ali Quotes
So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.
Arthur Hiller
British Actress Quotes
Female television viewers paid attention to Catherine Gale.
Tricky Quotes
It's tricky to do a serialized show and not lose viewers along the way because you really have to watch every episode.
Nestor Carbonell
Available Quotes
I wasn't really using Twitter before 'Pan Am.' It was a good way to promote the show and be with the viewers on Sunday and be available to them and take questions.
Karine Vanasse
Episodes Quotes
I think most people who were involved with television will tell you, if given a season or given a 13-episode order and getting those episodes on the air, and if viewers don't come, I think most people will tell you they'd walk away. They feel they were given a fair shake, and if viewers didn't come, they didn't come.
American Athlete Quotes
For the very first time, viewers will be able to watch their favorite shows before the rest of the world.
Actress Quotes
Being an actress in China, I'm actually a very lucky actress... Especially now that Chinese movies are becoming more diverse with more viewers overseas.
Cent Quotes
Nine per cent of my viewers are men, of which the majority is, I think, 45 to 50. I like to tell myself it's just my dad watching.
Becoming Quotes
It is obvious that the Internet has become such a video-driven entity. With broadband becoming ubiquitous, viewers and advertisers are looking for professional-quality videos.
Gil Penchina
Alike Quotes
The fact is that viewers are fickle and it's rare that such a large group of people can be categorized in any type of way. There's enough content to go around, and if we stop focusing on numbers and start focusing on the quality of the project, then I think everybody - viewers and artists alike - is going to be a lot happier.
Natalie Zea
Bite Quotes
Giving consumers the choice of having it all in one big bite means different viewers are in many different places in the book, making it hard to discuss without spoiling the plot. The intervals between first-run programming provide a space for communion and that tantalizing sense of anticipation.
Michael K. Powell
No Respect Quotes
If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?
Christiane Amanpour
Almost Quotes
I'm pretty interested in documentary film, and I'd watch almost anything. At some point, I stumbled upon 'shoot interviews' and found out that wrestlers were now talking openly about things that were going on in wrestling that we as viewers were not privy to. This fascinated me.
Box Brown
Views Quotes
The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.
Fay Godwin
Buy Quotes
I recognize that I'm probably the luckiest novelist in recent memory, because Sherman Alexie, a writer I greatly admire, raved about my book on 'The Colbert Report,' and then Mr. Colbert himself urged his viewers to buy it - on his show and on Twitter.
Edan Lepucki
Fall Quotes
That's why I love doing television because it's something that fans and viewers can sit down each week and get to know your character and get to know the show and get to know what's going on and fall in love with you all over again, like they did in previous shows.
Unit Quotes
Thru the auspices of the viewers who become - I think this is an import - in a democracy, become a working unit with law enforcement against the criminals.
Circles Quotes
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Known Quotes
I've known Jan, probably, very well for, well, for over a decade. And the passion that Jan just showed the viewers in that particular piece is very real.
Rex Hunt
Bought Quotes
I'm so grateful to everyone who has bought a copy of 'Girl Online.' I love that so many of my viewers are enjoying the book!
Escape Quotes
The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that's why they go to movies and the theatre.
Ability Quotes
I had this unusual mix of curiosity, the ability to write in ways people understood, and when I appeared, viewers seemed to trust me to get them through some cataclysmic changes.
Crucial Quotes
When you look at Kennedy and Nixon, TV played a crucial part in Kennedy's popularity. He was incredibly photogenic, while Nixon was this scowling figure. American viewers judged him on his appearance on TV.
Peyton Reed
Current Quotes
If you think the system - not you - but if your viewers think that the current political system is working well and serving the interest of our country, then what we're doing will not be attractive.
Hamilton Jordan
Reactions Quotes
'Marco Polo' had some negative reactions in the press. Viewers have loved it, and the volume of viewing has been phenomenal.
Snl Quotes
Obviously, SNL has a lot of viewers, but the potential for a movie is through the roof.
Hold Quotes
I want to seduce my viewers and be able to hold them with the work. Much of that is done in terms of formalist ideas that I bring to the work.
Audiences Quotes
At 3-D Imax theaters, audiences have shown they are willing to pay a premium to wear headgear fitted with liquid-crystal lenses synchronized via infrared signals with the movie projector, which runs at twice the normal frame rate. These movie viewers plumb new depths in depth perception - they experience extreme realism.
Charles Platt
Understanding Quotes
Magic's about understanding - and then manipulating - how viewers digest the sensory information.
Smart Quotes
But Steven Bochco was smart; he knew that viewers were smart.
David E. Kelley
I want viewers to see that everything is connected, even the little guys like pollinators and flowers.
Blogs Quotes
If there was a blog with five listeners or viewers, I had to be on it. Now I have to be on fewer media, but more substantive media.
Darrell Issa
Access Quotes
Anyone can create and put stuff out there, so then as viewers and listeners, we have access to a lot of different unique view points.
I'm not out to max my income. I think my viewers would call me on that right away if I did.
Above Quotes
Every 'Oprah Winfrey Show' has about it the aura of Oprah's own life, just as the rituals and sacraments of a religion are suffused with the life of the religion's founder. Above the testimony of Oprah's guests hovers what viewers know about Oprah's experience.
Lee Siegel
Biggest Quotes
Human attention is limited, and a massive number of newly browsable books from the long tail necessarily compete with the biggest best-sellers, just as cable siphons audience from the major networks, and just as the Web pulls viewers from TV.
Gary Wolf
Engaging Quotes
Helping people understand the impact of key environmental and human issues worldwide is something that I'm passionate about. CNN's 'Going Green' series of specials are engaging viewers around the world through important messages of conservation and hope.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Differ Quotes
Readers and viewers will differ about what's totally standalone, what's totally serially dependent, and what's merely enriched by reading/viewing in a particular order.
Literature Quotes
We had more viewers on the broadcast network than we did on the cable channel.
Adult Quotes
It's always exciting to explore adult roles when the vast majority of viewers that have seen me on TV know me from 'Glee,' from something of a different tone.
A question I'm often asked by viewers is - what do I do when I taste something I don't like in one of our food segments? First of all you need to know that I like almost everything. Eating makes me hungry. That said, occasionally when something one of our guests whips up is not to my liking I'll usually say something like 'mmmmm... interesting.'
We've had a chance to be seen by viewers who had never seen us before, and we've kept a lot of them.
Cable Quotes
I think its going to be continually tougher on the big networks as more cable channels do really interesting television. The big networks have a choice to make: Do we try to be all things to all people and get the shows that will deliver 20 million viewers a week? Are we the McDonald's of television? Or are we going to try to be more specific?
Amused Quotes
The superhero is a really popular figure in the West. In Asia or Korea, the young viewers are amused by the figure, but it is not really so sensational.
Ifs Quotes
Our viewers are very educated, they can tell if I train or not.
Kiana Tom
Contestant Quotes
I think when you're a TV presenter, you have to have a reason for doing it, and a lot of them have been around a long time and grafted for that. The reason why it works with me on 'The Xtra Factor' is because I was a contestant on it, and I have a relationship with the viewers at home.
Bit Quotes
My viewers actually know about my little routine for spraying perfume. I put it on my wrists and rub them together, then I spray a little bit on my neck and three spritzes in front of me and then I shimmy through them.
Deliver Quotes
Morning TV is about habits. What you really need is for viewers to find you, get comfortable with you, make you part of their mornings. If you can make news, deliver things they value, you can be successful.
I do think that the emotional weight of 'Biutiful' has blinded some viewers to the beauty and complexity of the film.
Companies Quotes
Viewers don't care how big media companies are. They care whether they can dump those they don't like, whether because of lousy service or because of crummy shows.
Attention Quotes
The only reason I'm bringing my condition to your attention now is because the swelling of a lymph node near my left ear has become noticeable to viewers of TNT, and there have been questions asked. My plan is to work the rest of the NBA season and playoffs, go to the beach with my wife, Cheryl, and our four kids, and start a treatment regimen in late June, which will likely include chemotherapy. And then I'll go back to work.
Behind Quotes
We are proud to have had the opportunity to bring television viewers one of the most acclaimed series in television history. From the venerable, moving performances by the first-rate cast to the sterling creative team behind the camera, this series has left an indelible imprint on the landscape of television drama.
We are pleased to offer the public this year, some of the most beautiful homes and gardens in Charlotte. The tour gives viewers a glimpse of some of the most exciting trends in home furnishings and gardening.
Susan Cole
Additional Quotes
We've already amassed the ratings equivalent of a Super Bowl and we still have two weeks to go. Sunday night has become the toughest night on TV, and it speaks to the power of the Olympics that they bring so many additional viewers to the television, who otherwise wouldn't be watching.
Randy Falco
Certain Quotes
There are certain television theme songs that are nearly as memorable as the shows connected to them. By jogging memories as well as creating wonderful moments by having them performed on this year's Emmy show, we think we're giving viewers one more reason to tune in and be entertainment.
Ken Ehrlich
There are bound to be viewers wondering how she can dish out advice, ... But I think she is very ballsy and will come back. You learn very little from success, but you learn a great deal from failure. If I had a small business and wanted some advice, I would ask Rachel.
Simon Woodroffe
Decision Quotes
We felt like it was a decision our viewers had to make - whether it was appropriate or not - for themselves.
David Jernigan
Appeal Quotes
We believe we have a youthful and energetic cast that should appeal to a new audience that is increasingly comfortable with this downloadable format as a viewing option. The multi-platform efforts are a buzz-generator for certain shows such as 'Conviction,' and we want to pro-actively reach out to these viewers who have many options for entertainment.
Jeff Zucker
America Quotes
What's not here are those shows on the WB, like 'The Gilmore Girls,' which the TV Critics Association of America tells us is the best show on television, ... Why didn't it get any Emmy nominations? And what about 'Scrubs'? ... It's holding its own, critics love it, viewers love it, but Emmy voters aren't watching it, because it's too young skewing, and the geezer Emmy voters have a demographic a little north of what 'Scrubs' viewers are.
Tom O'Neil
Working with Yahoo is another way for us to deliver the best way to watch television and give viewers control of the television experience, ... the ability to easily schedule recordings for later viewing.
Tom Rogers
Age Quotes
Ultimately, criticism that 'The Real World' has devolved into a lesser enterprise comes from the viewers who came of age alongside it, not the teens of the moment that MTV has always existed for.
Alignment Quotes
We wanted to work with Sierra Mist to create something that was relevant to our viewers and people who love comedy. We have two brands that make a lot of sense. It's a perfect alignment of assets that speaks to the TBS viewer.
Attracts Quotes
Women watch more television than men in general, ... So it kind of makes sense to come up with programming that attracts the viewers most likely to be watching.
Shari Brill
Audience Quotes
We're always looking for ways to provide current and potential new viewers every possible opportunity to sample our series. We want to be where the viewers are, and this exclusive partnership with Yahoo! gives us the chance to target an expanded online audience for TWO AND A HALF MEN and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER at a time of the year when many potential viewers are home on vacation and surfing the Internet.
Nancy Tellem
The producers are preparing a great episode that will appeal to new viewers as well as devoted fans. It's the perfect conclusion to one of TV's biggest days.
Stephen McPherson
Chose Quotes
When the story broke, she, again, chose to support Frey. Loyalty is important, but she should have loyalty to her viewers and to the people who look up to her. That's more important than loyalty to this author.
Paul Levinson
We're committed to finding new ways to bring our content to consumers and we think this deal is a huge step forward in giving them greater choice and control over their entertainment experience. For the very first time, viewers will be able to watch their favorite shows before the rest of the world. And we now have the ability to create different cuts of our programs for the pre-air audience--versions with additional scenes and materials not included in the network broadcast--something entirely new. It's an exciting opportunity for the television consumer and for us. Moreover, this new partnership will also enrich the viewing experience by providing access to DirecTV's enhanced services, features and interactive functionality.
Angles Quotes
Last year, viewers spent 45 minutes on average watching the celebration on MSN Video and this year we are making it even more interactive by giving consumers the opportunity to choose the camera angles and the events to focus on, instantly shaping their New Year's Eve experience.
Rob Bennett
Broadcast Quotes
Many of our viewers tell me they often miss the broadcast because they're not at home or tending to their busy lives and families. This new service reflects the fact that the pace of our lives has changed.
Coffee Quotes
She's a total game changer. The thing that really sets her apart, the big reason that everybody watches her and why she has had so much success, is that viewers can imagine having a cup of coffee with her, of sitting on a playground and watching their kids on the jungle gym. She's not acting. She's not playing a role. She is what she is.
Rome Hartman
Conditions Quotes
Old-school viewers remain adamant that 'The Real World' has deteriorated, as if the original enterprise were some pristine experiment that got sullied as the conditions in the lab got sloppier.
Alienate Quotes
She hasn't got any track record in the evening. She might alienate as many viewers as she attracts.
She might alienate as many viewers as she attracts. It's an awful lot of money you're spending on her, so just to break even you've got to increase your audience by a significant amount.
Difference Quotes
Most viewers probably have no idea what the difference is between the two awards. It takes a very discerning ear to tell you the difference.
Animals Quotes
Most of the viewers of wildlife hunting shows and videos have no idea how much of a challenge (hence the name of the competition) it is to successfully film a hunt for free-ranging animals in the wild. This competition highlights the skills of the cameramen who help bring the 'outdoors' indoors to millions of viewers.
Affluent Quotes
Media today is the coexistence and layering on of different mediums. We consider this a perfect marriage of mediums a high-profile broad event that quickly grabs the attention of many, many, many affluent viewers that we can harness in a way that's highly interactive.
Amy Fuller
Again Quotes
One thing viewers will be reminded of, the stakes are very high on this island. It's always life and death. They may have been lulled into a sense of security in the past few episodes. That may change again soon.
Daniel Kim
Moment Quotes
New Orleans dodged a bullet. It was the moment for viewers and in some respects for me that we understood it was not getting better, it was getting worse.
My sense is that the network news should continue to play an important though diminished role in bringing information to people. After all, a combined audience of 29 million viewers is still many times the numbers cable is producing.
Bob Zelnick
Associate Quotes
On shopping networks, people model the products, demonstrate how it works and actually make it fun for viewers to associate with what's being shown.
Richard Hastings
Among Quotes
One of the big headlines is that network TV is strong. Overall, television usage among total viewers is up about 4 percent ... and the growth in cable is not coming at the expense of the broadcast networks.
Cbs Quotes
CBS is very pleased to have forged this partnership with Mitsubishi that will give American television viewers their first sustained exposure to high-definition television, ... This agreement, which allows us to present the majority of our primetime lineup in the highest definition television format, represents the most significant step any network has taken in HDTV and further establishes CBS' leadership in the transition to digital broadcasting.
Leslie Moonves
American Artist Quotes
I'm always trying to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so that they feel open participation.
I'm always happy when the viewers are happy, ... I obviously don't program for the people in the newsroom or my friends or the people I went to law school with. I program for the viewers.
Greta Susteren
I look forward to collaborating with Mark... to bring more of our unique blend of original high-quality, educational and inspirational programming to our loyal viewers and new programming to new audiences in prime time next year,
Balanced Quotes
I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.
I felt like we as a station group cared about employees, cared about the viewers in an extraordinary way. It kind of boosts your spirits in this age of downsizing and corporations treating employees like things.
Mike Clarke
I find a lot of up-and-coming musicians I enjoy, present them to my viewers - and hopefully inflate the growth of these artists by putting them in front an audience that wouldn't have been aware of them.
Connor Franta
Below Quotes
I can't emphasize enough to viewers how serious FEMA is taking this storm. We've done a lot of planning for a hurricane striking New Orleans because of New Orleans lying below sea level.
Across Quotes
Fox Soccer Channel is pleased to partner with the NSCAA to showcase the nation's top college soccer teams for these exclusive telecasts. Collegiate soccer is a natural complement to our network's lineup of top international and domestic soccer events, and will help us attract new viewers from across the country.
David Sternberg
Allowed Quotes
Fox Reality is the destination this March for 'American Idol' fans who can't get enough of this show and the contestants. Never before have viewers been allowed to see the intimate and emotional back stage reactions following a contestant being voted off. We are excited to be the ones to bring it to the fans.
David Lyle
For the second year running, we're giving New Year's revelers around the world a unique view of Times Square. Last year's viewers spent 45 minutes on average watching the celebration on MSN Video and this year we are making it even more interactive by giving consumers the opportunity to choose the camera angles and the events to focus on, instantly shaping their New Year's Eve experience.
Bowl Quotes
For viewers to leave their TV sets during the Super Bowl to log on to the Victoria's Secret's site is amazing.
Digital Quotes
Giving viewers a more robust, interactive digital experience is one of our top priorities at NBC Universal. The Golden Globes provides an excellent opportunity for such a component. You will regularly see more interactive features accompanying our programming as we move forward.
Jeff Gaspin
Along Quotes
He had a way of making the viewers feel that he was taking them along with him on a fishing or hunting trip,
Advantage Quotes
We're pleased that 'Beyond the Headlines' is available to serve as a forum where the public can get information on issues that affect their lives. Viewers should take advantage of this special opportunity and voice their questions and concerns.
Kelly Williams
Air Quotes
What I liken it to is if Allegheny County flooded out, but we'd still have viewers over the air in Greensburg, Butler, Washington and Indiana counties, ...
We thought we would have a niche audience of loyal viewers like 'X-Files' or 'West Wing.' But we have a huge audience that crosses all kinds of boundaries. It's unique. It's bizarre.
Affordable Quotes
Having Regis and Kelly join us at our beautiful Oakes Garden Theatre is a great promotion for our community, the entire tourism industry and for The Niagara Parks Commission. We are a family-friendly, affordable destination that has much to offer. We invite everyone to be awed by the sights and sounds that only Niagara Falls and Niagara Parks can provide. Regis and Kelly only help to strengthen our message to viewers that there is so much to do and see in Niagara Falls, Canada.


Day 3 of my holiday to Swaziland (4th April): Today was a busy day. First we went to Maguga Dam so we could have a boat trip on the dam which was unfortunately incredibly low due to the drought they had experienced so instead of a 1 hour boat trip we could only do 30mins. We learnt all about the dam, when it was first built, when it was last at its fullest point and how many years it takes for the dam to get to its capacity, I found it very interesting and tranquil even though there were supposedly crocodiles and hippos in the dam we didn't see them thank goodness! We then got back on board the bus and went to visit Sipo's homestead to meet his mum and dad and see his village which had a Parliament House were they would take people who had had disagreements etc and put it right, we found out where they keep their cattle, were chickens lay their eggs on side of the crawl (cattle barn) in nests made for them and about a little cat who is there to catch "mouses". The swazi's have a unique way of saying certain things and it's quite cute! Definitely made me smiles :). We tried sugar cane which was lovely and met the children before heading back via a very muddy, rocky path. We then headed to Maguga lodge for lunch and to see some traditional dancing which was incredibly entertaining and then Sipo tried to imitate which had us in stitches. Over lunch we had the discussion about how to say "Pap" the correct way but I didn't get it right according to Sarah so I gave up and after this me and Sarah got on so well we had each other in hysterics constantly, just thinking about it makes me chuckle! The traditional dancing especially from the girls was something incredibly special which normally only happens during the reed dance in August so we felt incredibly privileged to see this in full action and in the beautiful traditional dress. We then got back in the bus, Jack did his counting again and we went back to the hotel where I went for a swim with Carol (my sighed guide), Anja and Dietmar (The Germans), Christine, Jo and Jack and Jo M sat on the side watching us. We had a great time, lots of laughs, a good swim and then we went back to our rooms, had a bath and then rested before Jack's and Jenny's chat and dinner which again was a variety of different foods to try all very nice. Then it was bedtime ready for the next day.

10 Best Places for an American to Find a Wife in the World
Throughout the whole of history, finding an ideal mate has been one of the human race's most primal priorities, so in order to make it a tad easier for you, here's a list of the 10 best places for an American to find a wife in the world.
Being an American straight man comes with a huge amount of privileges that are often appealing to foreign women from undeveloped or unfriendly countries. This has made it possible to create a whole industry around the task of finding a wife in some remote part of the world. You might have heard about "mail order brides", but that's just the tip of the iceberg. People tend to forget that when the wedding's over a bride becomes a wife, someone you have to live with and be as happily married to as you can. If you think a greencard works as a warranty for that, you are deeply mistaken.
As you click through our list, I will give you a bit of an overview on the history of modern marriage (which I learned from Yesterday and Live Science), and its implications. You might even realize you don't want to get married at all! Especially considering that being married doesn't make you any less of a lonely loser, so don't go thinking a wedding band is going to fix your problem.

That's called DEMAND management, currently not operational.

Just seen the trailer on Eurogamer, looks good.
Looks like I'll be buying my first Pinball DLC.
I am a huge marvel fan and i can't wait to get my hands on the marvel pinball pack.
It just needs the Pinball Dreams music to top it off.
I love Pinball FX 2, although most of the tables r*pe me.
will you be getting the marvel pinball pack then?
Subtle D-Fuzz, you're just after more Wizard score for yourself!
Of course, I'm a pinball whore.
The first Pinball FX2 tournament is underway! Players have until December 7, 2010 to log the highest score possible in Secrets of the Deep.
How do I enter? Select the tournament icon in the Pinball FX2 menu and off you go.
How do I win? Get the highest score on Secrets of the Deep in tournament mode.
What do I win? The winner of the tournament gets Marvel Pinball!
i assume that whatever your highest tournament score is by the 7th of december will be your 'tournament bonus' when it's working out your wizard score, so it's worth giving it a go even if you don't have a chance of winning!
Same here, until the cricket comes on.
I'm done with this game now!


Our Town Manager answered by email the questions posed by the previous post, Union Negotiations - 7 questions for the Town Manager. Thanks Mr. Durfree! This is Part II. Part I is here.
5. How do health insurance benefits provided by the Town to police and DPW workers compare with such benefits provided to similar employees in other Upper Valley municipalities? Has there been a study or any research on the topic recently? Is that study or research available to the public?
At this time, I don't have an answer to your question. I'm not aware of any recent study. There is a current policy for the provision of health care benefits to Town employees eligible for such benefit. That benefit remains in place until changed. There are some members of the Board that would like to discuss this topic during the budget development process. Also, while collective bargaining has yet to formally begin related to Union employees, it may be a topic for discussion by either party once proposals are prepared. At this time, that is premature and, thus, unknown.
6. The Open Meeting law limits executive session to matters that "premature general public knowledge would clearly place the public body or a person involved at a substantial disadvantage" [emphasis added]. The Selectboard has allocated 90 minutes to discussing the Negotiated Agreement in the past week. That seems a long time to discuss negotiating strategy. Will the Town be more transparent and disclose the specific topics to be discussed or have been discussed on Sunday and last Wednesday?
The discussion/development of positions, strategy, etc. related to collective bargaining is an item the Board can enter into executive session to discuss. There is no limitation to the timeframe the Board may opt to take regarding such issue(s). Once the parties involved in collective bargaining get together, that is, their initial meeting, the parties will agree to the ground rules that will be used during negotiation. In my experience, all collective bargaining has been held in executive session (or, some form of deliberative session). To hold deliberations in public session both parties would have to mutually agree to such ground rule. While I know of a few cases in Vermont where collective bargaining is conducted in public session, my understanding is that those instances are the exception. Most collective bargaining is accomplished in closed session. Personally, I can work in either environment.
7. Does the Town intend to follow the example of the Norwich School Board and conduct collective bargaining negotiations in public session? Why or why not?
I can only answer this question once ground rules are established between the parties. Again, there has to be mutual agreement between the parties as to the ground rules for negotiation, including whether collective bargaining is conducted publicly or not.

Gambling regulation under the spotlight thanks to UQ research
UQ PhD student Lorraine Cherney has had her work into gambling regulation and policy recognised at a national conference held in Brisbane last month.
Ms Cherney's research was awarded the best student paper at the 28th Annual National Association of Gambling Studies Conference, and drew on her research into the regulation of electronic gaming machines (EGMs, the pokies) since their introduction to Queensland in 1992.
One of the major findings from Ms Cherney's research was that over time, the regulations of EGMs in Queensland had been influenced by broader political factors and processes rather than based on evidence of good regulatory policy.
"Gambling is a significant area of concern. However, the majority of research in this area is conducted through the lens of psychology and focuses on problem gambling," Ms Cherney said.
"One major gap in the existing research that my PhD addresses is the regulation of gambling and policy solutions to gambling products."
These research findings have broader benefits in relation to identifying how EGMs can be more effectively regulated.
Ms Cherney has worked in gambling regulation, policy and research in Queensland and the ACT for the past 15 years.
Most recently, she utilised her research to assist Indooroopilly community members in a submission to the gambling regulator to stop the installation of gaming machines at a hotel attached to the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.
She researched and drafted guidelines for local residents on how they should best lodge submissions based on the government's guidelines, which demonstrated the site was a highly inappropriate location for gaming machines.
She was also invited to speak at two 'town hall' style meetings at the Indooroopilly Uniting Church along with local member of Maiwair, Michael Berkman MP.
This process demonstrated the significance of Ms Cherney's research, which showed that regulatory and policy changes were actually having a negative impact in her local community and the ability of residents to have input into the approval process for gaming machines.
"Where once upon a time community input was not only sought and valued in this type of decision making, the ability of community members to have a say had been restricted.
"This was an area where I knew my research and knowledge skills could make a difference," she said.
Ms Cherney plans on completing her PhD in 2019 and hopes that the outcomes of her research will provide further benefits to policy-makers and the Queensland community.
This is the second, 'best paper' award Ms Cherney has won this year. In January, she won best paper at the Public Policy Network Conference in Perth. Her most recent award has provided her with AUD$5,000 to attend a major international conference to present her research.

Rowdy Shows His Heart for the Dallas Cowboys
The NFL Dallas Cowboys are a fan favorite within the borders of Texas, and far beyond. For more than forty years the team has performed at a consistently high level. In addition to their great success on the field, "America's Team" has been just as successful off the field and is considered to be one of the most valuable sports teams in North America. Behind every great sports franchise is an identifiable symbol. The Dallas Cowboys are lucky to have two very identifiable symbols – the world famous Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and the team's mascot, Rowdy.
Rowdy became the official mascot of the Dallas Cowboys in 1996 and is outfitted like a real cowboy, complete with a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. He proudly wears the single star of the Dallas Cowboys on his chest and sleeves. Rowdy's main duty as the team's mascot is to create game day enthusiasm at Texas Stadium. To get the fans pumped and involved in the game, Rowdy drives on his four-wheeler, holds up signs that read "Let's Go Cowboys" and has fun tossing t-shirts into the stands for the fans to catch. He also has fun at the games mocking the opponents. Rowdy participates in all Dallas Cowboys home games and select away games. During the Dallas Cowboys Training Camp Rowdy is in full attendance as host of Rowdy's Kid Zone. He plays with the kids at camp taking them through obstacle courses, introducing them to the Cowboys experience (which consists of a football toss, a field goal kick and more) and encouraging them to chant for their favorite player.
The Dallas Cowboys are an integral part of the community of Dallas and its surrounding area. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are a common sight in the community raising awareness for different causes. Rowdy himself, a readily identifiable symbol of the Dallas Cowboys football team, is also happy to do his part for the community. As part of the Cowboys community awareness, Rowdy attends and participates in over 300 events a year. He participates in events such as the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, the Salvation Army, and Special Olympics As well, he visits retirement centers, hospitals, schools, birthday parties and grand openings. Rowdy is a very visible part of the Dallas community.
Another very important part of Rowdy's duties is to attend the annual NFL Mascot Convention. Held in a selected city each year, NFL mascots gather at a convention to discuss and share ideas in regard to promoting mascot awareness and mischievous mascot acts. Being good at what you do can also have its rewards. In 1999 and 2001 Rowdy had the honor of being selected as one of the top NFL mascots as he represented the Dallas Cowboys at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii. There he not only took part in the NFL Pro Bowl game but was also involved in the Battle of the Grid Iron, Special Olympics and much more.
It goes without saying that Rowdy has quite the following and has been reproduced in a number of ways. Rowdy's likeness can be found as a plush figure or golf club head cover. There's also a Rowdy Christmas stocking and Rowdy wall hooks to be had. These items and much more Dallas Cowboys memorabilia can be found at Dallas-Cowboys-apparel.com.
Rowdy is a visible symbol of Cowboys football. He helps bring enthusiasm and team spirit to the game as well as highlighting events and helping efforts in his community. There's little doubt that with all the passion and inspiration Rowdy brings to the field and the community that he is more than living up to his name.

US House passes bill ending NSA bulk data collection
The US House of Representatives voted Wednesday to end the NSA's dragnet collection of telephone data from millions of Americans, a controversial program revealed in 2013 by former security contractor Edward Snowden.
(AFP) The US House of Representatives voted Wednesday to end the NSA's dragnet collection of telephone data from millions of Americans, a controversial program revealed in 2013 by former security contractor Edward Snowden.
The USA Freedom Act is seen as a big win for privacy and civil rights advocates. The White House backs the reforms, saying the bill protects privacy while preserving essential national security authorities.
The measure now heads for a vote in the Senate, where the clash between reformists and supporters of the intelligence community, coming within the context of warnings on the increasing digital reach of the Islamic State terror group, transcends party lines.
And far-left liberals and staunch conservatives, often at odds on most major legislation, have united in opposition against domestic spying by the National Security Agency.
The bill, which focuses on people in the United States and not overseas, would amend controversial sections of the USA Patriot Act, which passed in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks and which expire on June 1.
Liberty and security
The reforms would explicitly prohibit the mass collection of telephone metadata - phone numbers, time and duration of calls - by the NSA, as well as electronic data such as emails and web addresses.
"Americans' liberty and America's security can co-exist," said House Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, who voted for passage. "These fundamental concepts are not mutually exclusive."
The reforms scrap the bulk collection detailed in Section 215 of the Patriot Act, replacing it with a targeted program that allows intelligence agencies to collect data from specific individuals or groups, but only with prior approval of the secret national security FISA court.
The data dragnet was operating in complete secrecy after 2001 and under the supervision of the FISA court since 2006. It was consistently renewed by the administrations of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Under Section 215, the government stored the acquired data. But the new reforms would compel telecoms and other data companies to keep the information, accessible to intelligence agencies only through court order.
"Today's vote was a major win for surveillance reform and a major rebuke for those who want to reauthorize the Patriot Act without change," said Center for Democracy & Technology president Nuala O'Connor.
Not far enough?
The vote came just a week after a US appeals court ruled that the bulk data collection goes far beyond what Congress authorized.
Some progressive groups expressed concern that reauthorizing the Patriot Act with specific changes was not enough to prevent abuse.
"Congress is trying to sell the USA Freedom Act to the American people as reform, but what the bill actually does is extend and expand the government's power to monitor our communications under the Patriot Act," said Tiffiniy Cheng, co-founder of Fight for the Future.
Another critic, Senate intel chairman Richard Burr said the measure "is trying to fix a system that isn't broken."
"As terror groups such as the Islamic State and Al Qaeda grow in number, capability, and technical sophistication, now is not the time to turn to an untested, unproven proposal as the House has done today," Burr, Senator for North Carolina, decried.
Other critics are seizing on key wording in the reforms that may be broadly interpreted to allow more data dragnets.
Conservative House Republican Justin Amash, an early advocate of Patriot Act reforms, blasted the new bill as "a step in the wrong direction."
He said that while the new law would authorize government to obtain records based on a "specific selection term," that phrase "is defined so broadly under the bill as to have little effect on narrowing the scope of items the government may obtain through a 215 order."
But House Speaker John Boehner hailed the bill for enhancing FISA court transparency while allowing flexibility to pursue terror suspects.
"Terrorists across the of globe are bent on destroying our nation and our way of life, and we must provide our intelligence community the tools it needs to stop them," Boehner said.

Learning essential life skills from everyday activities
Learning through play is at the heart of everything that happens right across the Kidsfirst network.
Our talented team of fully trained and registered kaiako are experts in making the most of the opportunities that emerge every day at kindergarten to help tamariki explore their interests and ultimately, become life-long learners.
It's all about encouraging curiosity, initiative and creativity so children are motivated to explore ideas and the world around them for themselves and extend their own learning.
Seemingly simple activities like cooking open doors or extending interests in so many areas - like kaitiakitanga (being guardians of the environment), learning to collaborate with others, the joys of eating food grown in your own backyard, and so much more.
Kidsfirst Phillipstown tamariki experienced all this first hand when they harvested produce from their backyard to make their own home-made jam recently. The kindergarten has a fantastic garden, which is always bursting with fruit over the Summer months. It makes for a garden-to-table experience for tamariki, and they were involved every step of the way.
After months of nurturing the fruit, tamariki scavenged through the leaves to find ripe berries, plucked them from the ground, and then brought them inside to their own makeshift jam factory.
While we might talk about bigger themes of sustainability, cultivating and picking our own berries, these kinds of activities help to simplify bigger concepts in a way that's easy for children to understand. When they participate in the process of creating something, they learn so much more, and can better connect ideas. Tamariki were involved the whole way through the jam-making exercise, giving them a sense of involvement and responsibility, as well as encouraging them to work together towards a shared goal.
Phillipstown Head Teacher, Kathy Harford says the experience is a simple way to instill some essential learning. "It's about them understanding how and why it's important to be good kaitiakitanga (guardians of the environment), and how to engage with the process carefully, so that everyone gets a turn, and everyone understands what's going on,"
Kathy has noticed that once the tamariki have made jam at kindy, they're often keen to go home and give it a go with their parents.
For whānau wanting to continue the learning at home, there are always opportunities for doing so amongst everyday activities. It can be as simple as involving tamariki in an everyday process - encouraging them to understand and describe what needs to be done and then giving them the chance to be a part of doing it with the right support. And, knowing that while the jam at the end is always a sweet reward, for tamariki, there's often just as much satisfaction in creating something they've been involved with every step of the way.

History, literature, and botany meet in this charming tour of how humans have relied on plants to nourish, shelter, heal, clothe, and even entertain us. Did you know that during World War II, the US Navy paid kids to collect milkweed's fluffy white floss, which was then used as filling for life preservers? And Native Americans in the deserts of the Southwest traditionally crafted tattoo needles from prickly pear cactus spines. These are just two of the dozens of tidbits that Tammi Hartung highlights in the tales of 43 native North American flowers, herbs, and trees that have rescued and delighted us for centuries.
