Press Release -- March 27th, 2013
AT&T 4G LTE Available in Watertown
Customers to benefit from nation's fastest 4G LTE network on the latest devices
Watertown, New York, March 27, 2013
AT&T* has turned on the nation's fastest 4G LTE network** in Watertown, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. The LTE upgrade to AT&T's 4G network includes Watertown, Black River, Calcium, Evans Mills, and Fort Drum.
"We welcome AT&T's investment in its network in Watertown," said Watertown Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham. "Reliable wireless coverage for residents and local businesses is vital to the economic health of Watertown and all of Jefferson County. As folks become more and more tied to their wireless devices, it's comforting to know they can have dependable coverage in Watertown."
Elsewhere in upstate New York, AT&T has upgraded its network to 4G LTE in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Saratoga, Saratoga Springs, and Ithaca.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Watertown responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices," said Marissa Shorenstein, president, AT&T New York.
AT&T invested more than $1.4 billion in its New York wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 288 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into operations. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."
AT&T recently announced Project Velocity IP, its strategic plan to invest $14 billion over the next three years to expand its wireless and wireline IP broadband networks. As part of Project Velocity IP, AT&T's 4G LTE network is expected to cover 300 million people by year-end 2014, and its wireline IP network is expected to extend to approximately 57M customer locations, covering approximately 75% of customer locations in AT&T's wireline service area by year-end 2015.

Q: Having composite and primary keys in SQL table I am having a problem with creating SQL table with composite and primary keys in it. This is what I have for now:
CREATE TABLE Racunar (
  IPAdresa char(15) PRIMARY KEY,

  HD char(20)
);

CREATE TABLE Program (
  Naziv char(15),
  Verzija char(20),

  SifO int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Operater(SifO),
  FOREIGN KEY(Naziv, Verzija) REFERENCES Program(Naziv, Verzija),

The problem is somewhere in the last table. I am using SQL Fiddle and it returned the next error message after trying to build schema:

Schema Creation Failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the

I don't know why this doesn't work, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

A: The syntax is incorrect. Instead of defining the FOREIGN KEY along with the column, define it after the column definition using the syntax FOREIGN KEY (colname) REFERENCES tablename (foreign_colname)
CREATE TABLE JeInstaliran (

Alabama Law Requires New Schools Have Storm Shelters | The Voss Law Firm, P.C.
In Alabama, as new schools are being constructed, they are required to comply with a mandate that became law in 2010. That law is getting a lot of attention now, especially in the wake of the recent tragic EF5 tornado in Oklahoma that claimed 24 lives, 7 of which were students inside their school.
In 2007, eight students died when a tornado hit Enterprise High School in Enterprise, Alabama. Because of that, the Alabama Building Commission started requiring that new K-12 schools have mandatory "safe spaces." This means new schools need storm shelters that can protect all of the students in the event of a major tornado. The tornado that hit Enterprise was the first to kill students at a school since 1990. The city rebuilt Enterprise High for $86 million and equipped it with FEMA-rated storm shelters.
Hartselle High School opened in March and it was a $44 million project. The new law for storm shelters passed 6 months after they broke ground on Hartselle, so they had to figure out a way to incorporate the new shelters into their plan. It is a 280,000 square foot facility and has three storm shelters designed to withstand 250 mph winds. The shelters are within five minutes of any room in the school. Some of the shelters are integrated into the school, doubling as classrooms, halls and corridors. However, if a storm is coming, there are areas to shut doors and provide greater protection.
Some schools that are not totally rebuilding are still adding storm shelters as a precaution and are seeking grants from FEMA.

It's W-Day for future of cinema as we know it

If you love the cinema, then today is W-Day — a pivotal point in history that will determine whether it stays a mainstream activity or becomes some sort of niche pastime, like ten pin bowling.
Boxing Day sees the release of Wonder Woman 1984, the first true blockbuster movie since COVID-19 choked the life out of cinema.
But it's not just coming out at the movies.
Warner Bros has announced that WW1984, indeed all its major releases in 2021, will simultaneously be available on its streaming service HBO Max.
HBO Max isn't available here but production houses don't make decisions based on the Australian box office. All they care about is the US take.
With barely a third of America's cinemas still open thanks to COVID, there is talk that if WW 1984 gets $US5m at the box office on opening weekend, that will be a good result.
But the real figure to care about is the number of new subscriptions to HBO Max. If that leaps up, then Warner Bros will conclude it is on to a good thing.
Don't forget, the production houses only get a fraction of the cinema box office. They get all of the cash from their subscription service. And it keeps rolling over, every month.
So if everyone else sees it working for Disney (which has already decided to put its focus on the Disney+ streaming service) and now Warner Bros … well, that could be good night cinema.
Sure, you can still go and see movies there but, if you are being forced to pay for all these new streaming services, what's the point? Stay home and see the show there. You might as well get value for your money, right?
Except cinemas will wither and die. Yes, a few will remain, where you can see independent movies that have no streaming deal, or diehard fans can check out a blockbuster on a proper screen. But going to the movies will become an eccentricity.
I can see a future reaction when you announce at a friend's barbecue that you recently went to the cinema.
"Oh mate, really? Don't they make you wear those strange shoes?"
"No you idiot, that's ten pin bowling. Cinema is where you sit in this big room with strangers in the dark and watch a movie that way."
"Oh … yeah. Do people still do that? Anyway, have a home brand sausage."
"What happened to the steak?"
"Sorry mate, paying too many streaming subscriptions this month for steak."
Sure, that may not happen. HBO Max might only get a few new subscriptions and Americans might flock back to cinemas to see WW 1984.
But I fear that they won't be rushing back to cinemas, not with COVID-19 ravaging the cities.
So it all comes down to how many will sign up for another streaming service instead. I guess we'll know in a week or two.
One of the things I love about cinema is that moment when the auditorium goes black, the curtains roll back, everyone goes silent and the show begins.
Will it happen again? Or will the lights go back up and someone announce the show has been cancelled?

Q: C print only sign of integers I was wondering if (and how) one can print only the sign of an array entry. For example I'd have something like
{1, -1, -1, 1}

and I would like the output to look something like
+ - - +

I'm pretty new to C and the only solution I can come up with is some sort of if (... < 0) contdition that results in either a + or - char. But that seems quite unhandy.
This is merely meant to pretty up large "patterns" I am drawing with +1 and -1. I'd really be glad if someone could help.

A: The way you have mentioned is effective for this purpose. If you want to do same thing by some other way, you can use ternary operator as:
a[i] < 0 ? printf("-"): printf("+");

A: You're on the right track. This is the approach I would use. While bitwise operations would also work, something is to be said for readability.
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int numbers[4] = {1, -1, -1, -1};

    for (int i = 0; i < (sizeof(numbers) / sizeof(numbers[0])); i++)
    {
        printf("%s ", (numbers[i] < 0 ? "-" : "+"));
    }

    printf("\n");

    return 0;
}

Or you can build a string with sprintf() / snprintf(); not sure if you want to output it or use it elsewhere.

A: Take a look at
this.
The flag + forces the output to show the sign of a number

A: You can do this like this:
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void) {
    int num [4] = {1, -1, -1, 1);
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 4; i ++) {
        if (num [i] < 0) {
            printf ("-");
         }
         else
            printf ("+");
    }
    return 0;
}

Brewer names her beers after her awful dates
Anna Iovine
Bad dates are an inevitable part of adulthood -- but one woman decided to profit off those cringeworthy stories.
Katarina Martinez is the owner and head brewer of Lineup Brewing, a Brooklyn-based company. Martinez has a host of stories of dating life in New York City, and she started integrating it in her work: she names beers after her bad dates.
Martinez spoke to Mic about her funny business venture. The first was about a man who was apparently "grumpy" on a date due to the negronis he drank. "I saw a gallon of cider from his [family's] farm at a farmers' market and made it into an amber cyser (cider-beer hybrid) situation and named it 'Grumpy Mort,'" she told Mic. "I thought it was hilarious and fun to poke fun at the experience."
Check out photos from Lineup's Instagram
Grumpy Mort was just the beginning. Martinez went on to give her beers names such as Naked Mike, Washed Up Rockstar and St. Anthony's Fire -- all about dates gone wrong. Martinez takes care in making her beer creations unique to the name. For example, Naked Mike is light- to medium- bodied and brewed from pilsner malt, while Washed Up Rockstar is a porter.
Martinez's latest creation? An IPA named Fantastic, Brilliant. The same man who inspired Grumpy Mort asked for a second chance and described Martinez as "fantastic, brilliant, sexy" in an email -- but wanted to remain single.
"My philosophy is to make [my beer names] either funny enough that people will want to order the beer," Martinez tells Mic, "or awkward enough that they'll get a laugh out of a big, burly, bearded man ordering a 'Naked Mike.'"
Martinez told AOL.com that she may have "kissed her dating life goodbye" with the Mic interview, "But I've had a very positive reaction about the naming strategy since the article." She believes she's in a relatable situation, and the response proved that.
"I've also heard a TON of other people's dating horror stories, so I've had an absolute blast thinking of ways to incorporate those stories as well," she told AOL.com.
Martinez continued that likes her beers to reflect people's personalities -- positive or negative. "All beers should have a story," she said. "But please don't try and date me wanting a beer named after you! I've got my guards up now."

7 Reasons Black Reparations Are Due That Have Nothing To Do With Slavery
ShareTweetSubscribePinterest
1. Medical Experimentation
Vertus Hartiman – A Victim of medical experimentation in the United States.
Many Black Americans are now aware of the crimes of J. Marion Simms, the so-called Father of Modern Gynecology. Sims routinely experimented on his female slaves without anesthesia. Back then, researchers believed Blacks were sub-human creatures who didn't feel pain. In a chilling account:
"Each naked anaesthetized slave woman had to be forcibly restrained by the other physicians through her shrieks of agony as Sims determinedly sliced, then sutured her genitalia. The other doctors fled when they could bear the scene no longer."
The resulting breakthroughs he uncovered secured his seat as president of the American Medical Association, and have generated trillions of dollars since.
If you believe that medical experimentation on Black bodies ended with the Civil War, you would be wrong.
If you have ever suffered with acne, chances are you were prescribed Retin-A – a synthetic form of Vitamin A. The wildly popular drug was created by Dr. Albert M. Kligman, with sales approximately $290 million for the year ending November 2015.
Dr. Kligman may have never developed the drug where it not for the help of more than 30 pharmaceutical companies that funded his research and Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia.
According to Acres of Skin: Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison, from 1951 to 1974, inmates were used as lab rats for his experiments. Black prisoners were exposed to radioactive, hallucinogenic and toxic materials on behalf of more than 30 pharmaceutical companies and several government agencies. In some experiments, prisoners were deliberately exposed to pathogens responsible for skin infections, including the herpes virus, staphylococcus bacteria and the athlete's foot fungus.
The must-read book Medical Apartheid further illustrates the extent of modern medical experimentation on Blacks with The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male.

The study was conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Macon County, Alabama, and it tracked 399 poor and mostly illiterate Black sharecroppers who were diagnosed with syphilis. The study subjects were deceived into believing that they were being treated, when in fact the documented intentions of those leading the study was to allow the disease to run its course, which often meant a very painful death.
By 1947 penicillin was recognized as a cure for syphilis, but study clinicians denied the antibiotic to subjects and instead gave them a fake. As the author notes, the racism that made something like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study possible was systemic and started at the top of the medical hierarchy with then U.S. Surgeon General, Thomas Parran, Jr. Even when presented with the penicillin cure, Parran opted to continue experimentation with the Black men of Macon County. By his assessment, their lives were less valuable than knowledge about syphilis.
These are just three of thousands of examples of cases of medical experimentation on Black bodies. Remember that the torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment described above is considered a gross violation of human rights. And while we cant be sure how many of our people have been subjected to medical experimentation, its prevalence presents a strong argument for Black reparations.

Vaccines Come to America
After nine months of living through the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines are finally coming.
The arrival of highly anticipated COVID-19 vaccines may spell out an end to the pandemic.
Abbi Prieto, Columnist
After nine months, the Pfizer vaccine has been approved by the FDA and is getting ready to be shipped. Also, the Moderna vaccine is working on getting approved.
Vaccine Doses
Each adult needs to get two doses, each three to four weeks apart. Participants in the Pfizer vaccine testing efficiency rate rose 95% after the second dose, so the two doses are necessary. According to The New York Times, "At least 40 million doses (enough for 20 million people) should be available from Pfizer and Moderna by the end of the year, and much more will come in 2021".
Who Will Get The Vaccine First
There are not enough vaccines available for everyone yet, so the people who need it most, will get it first. According to The New York Times, the first people to get the vaccine will be health care workers and people in long-term care facilities, followed by essential workers, then adults with underlying medical conditions and people over 65, and then all other adults. The general public is likely to start getting vaccines by April 2021. There is no confirmation on when the children will get the vaccine, because the vaccine has not been tested on children. The vaccine is tested on adults first for safety.
The vaccine might take a while to transport. This is because the vaccine needs to be stored at minus 95 degrees Fahrenheit. But Pfizer has a plan. Pfizer has created special container to store the vaccine. Each container holds 1,000 doses, and the container has a tracking device that monitors its location, temperature, and movement. The container's temperature also goes below minus 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Vaccine Side Effects
One thing people are wondering about is the side effects of the vaccine. According to The New York Times, "In the Pfizer study, about half developed fatigue. Other side effects occurred in at least 25 to 33 percent of patients, sometimes more, including headaches, chills and muscle pain". Out of 44,000 test participants no health concerns were reported.
It's only a few more months until the public gets vaccinated, and hopefully it will help bring the COVID-19 pandemic to a close.

The Top Ten Articles for Rapid Assistance
Posted on June 28, 2017 by David Robinson
Judge Anna von Reitz
Today, I went to my own website and have extracted a Top Ten List for people frantic for practical information they need to know to protect themselves and their assets and to grasp what is going on in the world at large. I do this with some trepidation because people need to study the issues and keep up with the conversation, not just "grab and go".
However, I do understand the almost-panic response of many who wake up and realize that they are under attack, so I went through and identified the exact articles from my website that you need to read and also a couple of articles that are crucial to understanding how things actually stand in the world.
Article 560 — "How to Correct Your Political Status and Why" — This one gives you the Big Picture overview and the three fundamental actions you need to take to overcome the legal presumptions attached to both Municipal and Territorial citizenship.
Article 573 — "Re-Flagging Your Vessels" (and, if you still have questions about this one, Article 584). This explains that your Name/NAME have been misconstrued as the names of "US Vessels" engaged in international commerce and held subject to Maritime and Admiralty law, when in fact, you are operating as peaceful American state vessels engaged in private international trade. Just as ships at sea have to carry the proper flag to be properly recognized, so do you— and that flag is the Peacetime or "Civil" flag of the United States. Read all about it.
Article 607 — "Dear Lucretia — Mortgage Relief — and the Rest of the Story" — This is the heavy-hitter where the details of the correction outlined in Article 560 are fully fleshed-out.
Article 620 — "Pay Attention! If You Want to Save Your Butts!" This covers how to correct your land titles and deeds and indemnify them under specially constructed Private Registered Indemnity Bonds for each one of the actual states. This process takes your land assets out of the "collateral pile" and puts them back under the protection of the sovereign states.
Article 626 – "Improved Act of Expatriation" — This example shows how you can expatriate from the presumption of Territorial "citizenship" and declared your permanent domicile and domicile for all the "Vessels" operated under your name to the land and soil of your natural state. One slight correction — it should say "Amendment X" or "Article Amendment X" not just "Article X"—- no big deal if you have already done the recording as it is not crucial, but nice to do if you haven't yet recorded the document.
Article 630 — "Title, Lien and Bond" — This again gives the Big Picture from a slightly different viewpoint, showing you how to secure and indemnify your identity and property with a powerful claim that cannot be overcome by the thieves.
Article 631 — "Step One Complete. Now What? Dear Ernie…" This is an overview to help people who have gotten part of the way through the process and need extra "oomph!" to get through the rest of it.
These articles cover just about everything that anyone could ever need to know concerning the basics of extracting your Name/NAMES and recouping your birthright identity and reclaiming your assets and presenting yourselves properly. They also give you the addresses you need and the bond numbers you need to protect yourselves.
Article 627 — "Retired Means Retired!" is recommended for all the retirees out there who are worried about the loss of Social Security pay and medical care. It explains the actual obligation of the federal corporations.
In addition to these practical action articles that provide step-by-step explanations and directions, there are a couple other articles I wish everyone would read as a background so that people have a broader understanding of what is going on in the world and in our usurped courts.
Article 581 — "What Every American Needs to Know About Sir Lancelot" — This article explains in some detail what happened in Dark Ages Britain and France and how that precipitated the Norman Conquest, and how that in turn led to my husband's forefathers becoming sovereigns in their own right in England. This is a prelude to understanding how they later became sovereigns in the their own right in America — an international status you share with them today, which is unique in all the world — and how James Belcher serves today as the lawful Head of State for the United States of America.
Article 588 — "Common Law, COMMON LAW, English Common Law, American Common Law" This very important article explains the many different kinds of "common law" that exist and lays bare the deliberate confusion that some organizations like the "National Liberty Alliance" are promoting. Always remember that Americans are owed American Common Law and no other kind of "common law" will suffice.
Now, I've written it all once and Paul Stramer has faithfully published it all and made it available as a data base, and now, beyond that, we have gone the extra mile and organized and annotated the essentials for you.
Unless you have read all the articles listed and still not found the answers to your question—- please do not contact me for further individual help. There are 350 million people in America, most of whom need to do this process. I can't possibly help each one and I have many, many other tasks to do: directing and supporting The Living Law Firm, organizing The American States and Nations Bank, raising hell in international jurisdiction to get this mess straightened out, bringing necessary complaints and court actions, and on and on and on…..
It's important that I not be deluged with correspondence and not be inundated with calls, even though my email and postal address and telephone number are published and freely available. Why? Because I don't have a battery of receptionists ready to take calls, and I don't have an army of public relations specialists, paralegals, and "agency representatives" to answer questions for me, because it depresses me when I can't answer every single one of your calls and your letters, because I have to keep my nose to the grindstone working on huge projects that will benefit everyone not just one, because I am only one getting-on old lady.
I can't even take the time to write "thank you" notes for donations and that really bugs me.
So, please, everyone, do your homework first and try your best to sort through things with all the information I have given you BEFORE you call or email questions. It will help me and help all the others working with me and for me, too.

It's me Nicholas Laschkewitsch, assistant regional representative for the American Coaster Enthusiasts, Northern California region! With the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk being my local park, I thought it would be a no-brainer to continually check out the construction of their new-for-2013 coaster, UNDERTOW! I will be making a trek down to the park each week, starting in a couple days, to capture the ride's construction from start to finish. It will obviously be many weeks until completion, but that makes it more fun!
Occasional videos and such will be posted on our YouTube channel and linked here as those are produced. Until then, check out these pieces of concept art for UNDERTOW below.
Look out for the first batch of photos later today, Monday, September 10! Thanks for reading!

For Jews who keep kosher, buying wine can be a challenge as most stores don't have a section of Kosher wine clearly marked. KosherWine.com is like Wine.com, but every wine is in the Kosher section. Fun fact: there's way more Kosher wine available than just the stuff made from Concord grapes for Passover (Kiddush wine)!
We love that while the market for Kosher wine in the U.S. is limited, this group still forges ahead to make sure there is a good-quality option available for Jews who keep kosher but like wine, especially on holidays. Because Kashrut law (the rules that decide what's kosher and what's not) prohibits consuming many kinds of animals, most Kosher wine is also good for Vegans (just double-check whether or not egg whites were used before you buy).
Like many other wine clubs, we'd like them to publish the wines they've sent in recent shipments so we can be sure you're getting good value for your wine budget.
A QPR Club (Kosher) membership costs $69.00 for 4 bottles of wine. Free shipping plus sales tax where applicable. The price per bottle, with shipping, is $17.25.
It's a little hard for us to objectively review the wines offered by KosherWine.com or their value as we don't know all that much about kosher wine.
What we have done though is taken a look at the wine club itself and evaluated the type of service it is. We're happy to see the way they're running the wine club with straightforward pricing and shipping costs, reorder discounts, etc. They're offering such a unique service that it is valuable in and of itself. If you keep kosher or want to send a gift to someone who does, this is one of your only choices, but we're betting you'll be happy with your purchase.


Stop by our yard to discuss your project – bring your plans!
We're much more than simply a rentals and sales outfit - we also offer a range of services designed to save you time and money.
Book a delivery today by phoning the store – we can almost always offer same-day service on our bulk products.
Pavers, slabs, blocks, stone – we're hardscaping experts.
Our certified staff can design an interlocking paver system that's both beautiful and long-lasting. We also have a saw set up in-store for cutting paving stones and retaining wall blocks.
You home needs a solid foundation.
Take advantage of our expertise and have us design your foundation form plan. Bring in a plan (or send it by email) and we'll create a drawing for you to follow while you build.
Cutting & bending FREE with purchase.
We sell 20-foot lengths of 3/8" (10mm), 1/2" (13mm), and 5/8" (15mm) rebar. As an added bonus, we will cut and bend any rebar bought from us at no additional charge.
If you need to cut a small number of pavers, blocks, or slabs, our on-site block cutting service is convienient, quick, and inexpensive.
Our advice can help you save money on hiring professionals: rent the right tools, do the work yourself, and save money on the labour.

Making of The Untouchables

I Call On "Mr. Untouchable" – The Saturday Evening Post
By Kelly Lynch Vintage Archives
Handsome Bob Stack tells why even PTA groups approve of the violence in his sensational cops-and-robber show. He also discloses some of his pet TV hates.
By Pete Martin
Robert Stack is a thinking man's thinking man – with sex appeal. He can also act. But he doesn't make with the one-liners, the stand-up comedy bits, the cute anecdotes. He is not a cutup. His thought processes travel through his mind with all the immediacy of a 1920-1930 gangster's automobile screeching around a Chicago corner on two wheels, just as the ancient crates in his television show, The Untouchables, reel round the corners they turn.
I'd gone to see Stack because The Untouchables is now rated the No. 2 TV show in the country, close on the heels of Gunsmoke. It's a phenomenal thing for a TV show to become No. 2 during its first year. I Love Lucy did it, but the normal pattern is a build-up of two or three years before a show reaches such heights of popularity.
To anyone interested in peeling back the layers of outer covering to get at the core of what makes a smash TV success, Stack is the right man. As he and I talked, it seemed to me that we came close to doping the answer as to what made The Untouchables the biggest hit among the new TV series of the 1959-60 season. Stack was concerned with the reasons behind the resounding success with which he happened to be connected. "Maybe," he told me, "if I know the whys, I can help keep them that way." Read More
Why The Untouchables Are Unbeatable – TV Guide
Show's producer reveals reasons for the appeal of Eliot Ness and company
The Untouchables, televised last year in two parts on Desilu Playhouse, turned out to be a sleeper – one of those rare shows to which that old publicity cliche "acclaimed by critics and public alike" applied accurately. It was so well-liked that ABC promptly ordered an hour-long series, a thought which 37-year-old executive producer Quinn Martin solemnly swears never entered his head at the time he was making the original.
Martin, a pleasant-looking man who talks quietly with a sort of half-smile, takes considerable pains to describe The Untouchables series for exactly what he thinks it is.
"Eliot Ness," says Martin, "would be a bore if you just made him up. It would be sort of like a ballet form of good and evil, as depicted by the TV Western. The fact that Ness actually existed is the real stuff of this series.
"I don't like the word 'message' per se," he continues thoughtfully. "I think a soap box is a bore. We are concerned first with entertainment. But if, through this entertainment, we are able to leave a feeling, some kind of stimulation of thinking, then I think we can be of value both to our own industry and to the country.
"To do a show on crime for crime's sake is as big a bore as the soap box. It is an unwritten law in TV that the bad man must wind up with his just deserts. In The Untouchables, without actually making it our primary purpose, we are showing why the bad man winds up as he does. It's a cliche, but the man who lives by violence generally dies by violence, but not specifically because he lives by violence. He winds up defeated, in most instances, because there were and still are-men like Eliot Ness and what the newspapers called his 'Untouchables' – men of unquestioned integrity, who happened to believe implicitly in law and order and who couldn't be bought over to any other way of thinking.
"It's not the proper thing to say publicly, I suppose, but the fact remains that crime today does seem to pay in some areas. Back in the Twenties crime was pretty much out in the open. You could see it and you could go after it. Today it is much better organized and much less recognizable. It has a variety of respectable fronts. As such, it is actually more dangerous today than it was 30 years ago. It's easy enough for the private citizen to become enraged when a car full of goons swings down a street spouting machine-gun bullets. It's not so easy to become enraged when people are quietly and effectively-being fleeced of millions of dollars without realizing it and, sometimes, actually enjoying it."
Starting with the real-life character of the late Ness (leader of the seven man squad of incorruptible Treasury agents), who is played by Robert Stack, The Untouchables bases many of its stories on incidents from the lives of real-life gangsters. "Of course," says Martin, "we have certain problems, largely legal problems. We don't want to hurt anyone –say, for instance, the still-living sister or other close relative of one of these men who really never knew just how bad he was. And naturally, we don't want to leave ourselves open for libel.
Indicative of the problems Martin faces is a $1,000,000 damage suit recently filed by the estate of Al Capone against Desilu, Inc., CBS and Westinghouse Electric Corp., the sponsor, alleging Capone's name, likeness and personality were used for profit by the defendants in their original production of "The Untouchables" without consent of the Capone family.
"There is also a certain amount of dramatic license. If we have a scene in which a Lepke is talking to a Schultz, for instance, we naturally have to make up the dialog. We try to stick to the facts as closely as possible, but we can't let the facts steer us away from our primary purpose-which is dramatic entertainment or let them do harm to anyone, including us.
"After all," Martin says reflectively, "the FBI gets its appropriations on the basis of the job it does, and it's understandable that they'd object to credit being given to someone else. We now have a gentleman's agreement on the subject and we have never since then written Ness into a story that involved the FBI."
"Early in the season, too, ABC was asked by the United States Attorney's office in New York not to broadcast the planned third episode, The Noise of Death, until after the trial of the gangland leaders who had been nabbed at Apalachin, N.Y. The episode featured J. Carrol Naish as a fading Mafia leader and the Government felt its showing at that time might conceivably influence the jury. ABC and Desilu agreed to the postponement, even though it was a difficult rush to get a substitute episode filmed.
The Noise of Death was finally aired in mid-January when the Appalachian trial was over. One sponsor, incidentally, thought the episode was so horrifying that it withdrew its participation."
To date, The Untouchables has touched on the lives of such "name" gangsters as Dutch Schultz, Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll, Wally Lagenza (head of the Tri-State gang), Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik, Bugs Moran, and Al Capone – who was the subject of the original two-part Desilu Playhouse.
"Most of these gangsters," Martin muses, "came to pretty sorry ends. Although never proved, it's generally accepted fact that Schultz was shot and killed by an organized mob. Coll was shot to death in a phone booth by his own gang. He was so crazy that they were afraid he'd turn on them. Lagenza finally went to the electric chair. Guzik died of a heart attack a few years ago. Moran recently died a natural death in prison. Capon, of course, died pretty much a raving maniac. He would up a physical and mental shell."
Martin's staff does a great amount of research, and he himself now knows "more about crime than I ever thought I'd know." Many of the research reports that come to his desk trace a fascinating trail from the Twenties directly to the present time, complete with names, dates and places, which for obvious reasons, he'd just as soon not even mention, let alone put on film.
"After all," he says, smiling about halfway, "we're in the entertainment business."

You are able to take advantage of several design benefits of using Ipe hardwood decking over other materials. This Brazilian hardwood is naturally fire resistant and difficult to burn. This wood has a service life of 50 years, or longer, with the proper maintenance. It is environmentally friendly, because it was turned into decking from renewable forests. Further, the wood has resistance to termites, mold, and fungus, so it does not require any added protectants or sealants.
In order to get the most life out of your Ipe hardwood decking, it is important you perform annual maintenance. Unlike other woods, there is not much work to do. You should inspect the underside of your deck to make sure supports and joists are secure. Also inspect deck clips, plugs and other hardware, and verify it is still firmly in the proper location. The only other maintenance you may want to perform is to rent a power washer and spray down your decking to remove any debris from the wood.
Because Ipe is a hardwood, it does not require any type of sealants or protectants. However, some people do take the time to use a UV protectant when they want to retain the original color of the decking. Otherwise, the wood does fade, over time, to a natural silver-gray color. If you do decide to use an approved protectant on the wood, remember to reapply the sealant, as recommended by your decking supplier, to prevent fading. If you change your mind later and decide you want to let the wood naturally fade, simply stop applying the protectant.


With January coming to a close, it's a time when you start to re-evaluate those resolutions. Those gym memberships are collecting dust and that "only 3 drinks-a-week" rule is long forgotten. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I kept one of resolutions. But I realized why: resolutions are actually kind of scary. They're like binding contracts with yourself to do something worthwhile for an entire year. [cue horror movie music] So why not start small? One week at a time… because, apparently, resolving to "travel the globe this year" isn't as easy to do on my budget… who knew?!
So today – I'm starting with baby steps… three goals I know I can accomplish, on a week by week basis. I've partnered up with one of my favorite brands, 7 For All Mankind, to make some of my goals a reality.
Over the next month, you can follow along with me as I bring some solidarity back into my resolutions. Are there any goals you're looking to bring to life this month? 7 For All Mankind is here to help!
Enter the 7FAM 'New Year, New Visions' contest and you could WIN a pair of 7's denim and $500 to bring your goals to life.

Many industrial machines contain steel parts that have to withstand great stress. SBS Forge states that the metal working method that produces the strongest steel parts is forging. Heating the metal than forging it to the required size and shape.
Various companies make steel forgings are made from scrap iron: Pieces of used iron recovered from demolished buildings and old cars as well as bits of new iron left over from the manufacture of iron products. Forge workers maneuver a gigantic magnet that can lift almost six tones scrap at a time. Until they fill a 28 tone scrap bucket.
The bucket empties two such loads into a fiery furnace whose temperature picks at 3000°F. This is called an electric arc furnace because the heat is created by a strong electric current running in an arc between three electrodes.
There are about twenty main grades and on hundred subgrades of steel. They are produces by adding specific metals or non-metallic chemical elements such as aluminum, nickel, chromium, manganese and carbon. They also add the mineral fluoride to help fuse de metals, some of which are in the form of blocks.
Throughout the three and a half hour meltdown, they test and adjust the chemical composition. They try to attain de lowest the lowest, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur levels: the key to producing strong, high quality steel. Then they pore de sizzling, melting metal into a container that is completely heat-resistant.
They add aluminum to chemically counteract oxidation and rusting caused by air exposure. Now a bloc of steel is made. It can be shaped into a forging. The melted metal flows out the bottom of the container to a mold below. The metal can be shaped into pieces such as brides.
After several hours, the metal solidifies. The mod is turned upside down to extract it. Then over twelve hours, they reheat the metal de 2200°F. According to SBS Forge, this makes it soft enough to hammer or press into shape.


Of course, I have known about the quotations listed below in Proverbs for a long time but as others have, I also failed to realize their very far reaching implications. Simply speaking they convey a profound truth that many of our great thinkers have expressed in their own words. As Earl Nightingale said, "you become what you think about".
In addition to our dominant thoughts, another element that affects our behavior and awareness is our sub-conscious image of ourselves; our I AM's. Ask any golfer his handicap? He will probably state an I AM by saying; "My handicap is 27". We obtain our I AM's from our view of ourselves and our view of how others see us. If mom said you were a pretty girl or dad said you were a good ball player, well then you developed a healthy self-respect. However if a teacher convinced you at an early age, that you were poor at mathematics or spelling or reading or whatever you may still view yourself as below average in that area, even now as an adult.
It was after my son's death that I was again brought back to the Truths of the mind and it's workings. If you know and practice mind transforming/rapid change therapy disciplines, then you can overcome the internal resistance of unwanted "I AM's" and reprogram your sub-conscious. You can even learn to go deeper and discover unresolved past experiences that are causing your sub-conscious mind to repeatedly play a self-crippling program of self-punishment, self-defeat or worse self-destruction.
We don't have to be a slave to our thoughts, but we certainly will be unless we learn and practice to "bring every thought into captivity." Our thoughts partially function as our navigator. Thoughts without purpose/intention become driven by feelings and defined by feelings, we become the victim of circumstantial emotions being tossed around and jerked back and forth. Thoughts with awareness and definiteness of purpose become empowered by emotion to carry out beneficial action.
With over 30 years experience teaching, coaching and training, Michael is uniquely trained and experienced to help you break through your own limiting barriers, the self-limiting, self-defeating or worse self-destructive sub-conscious thought habits. Replacing the old you with a transformed you.
Do any of these sayings sound familiar?

Community Announcement December 2018: The next major project for Tara will be an Aquatic Centre and Sports Precinct! The project will provide a 25m, eight-lane competition pool with associated facilities, a fitness centre and tiered seating.
In a community survey some years ago, Council asked for comment on the facilities that students and families would like to see at Tara. The two highest priorities from that process were for us to build a Chapel and an Aquatic Centre. The Chapel has now been built and so we have now turned our minds to the Aquatic Centre. There were many questions to be asked about size and scope, placement in the school grounds, connection to the community, the range of activities and programs we would like to see. Another important question was our responsibility in serving the school in terms of the facility we build and the long term impact on the School.
So we began with a very important question:
What does Tara want to be known for?
We went back to:
Core Purpose and Vision: to be a Christian learning community, characterised by excellence, which encourages and empowers girls to achieve and serve in a dynamic world
Our Vision: Tara will be a leader in girls' Christian education based on research informed teaching and learning with an emphasis on the holistic development of each student, and where every student is cared for, challenged and equipped to live out the distinctive values of the School
The Tara Purpose and Vision informs our view that we aim to provide resources and facilities which cater for and support students with a range of abilities, interests, backgrounds and aspirations in a Christian environment.
After a great deal of consideration, we are ready to share with you, the scope of the project which we are confident delivers an aligned outcome between the Purpose and Vision and this particular building.
We will keep you informed of our progress during next year and provide forums to answer questions you may have. In the mean time we have prepared a flyer for you below to answer all your questions at this important stage of the project:


This high-tech gadget relieves stress by blocking your overflowing email inbox from view. Need a break? Just apply the Blocker™ to your computer screen and watch as your emails, to-do list, and really everything else on there fades out of sight.
This t-shirt company makes the shirts that say exactly what you're thinking.
Does OE have you wishing you could be in two places at once? No worries! YOU 2.0 goes wherever you can't. Just program the machine with one of FOUR different pre-recorded phrases, prop it up with some books so it doesn't fall over, and watch as YOU 2.0 does the work the real you can't.
Is this an elegant solution? No. Does it get the job done? Better than you could ever imagine. Fashioned from a repurposed metal bucket and capable of holding 40 times the amount of a normal coffee cup, this is the travel mug you've been longing for.
Yup, this is a big ol' net like the Looney Tunes use. Look, it's not the most graceful way to do things, but there are just some people who aren't going to enroll in their benefits until they've been captured in a big net and held hostage in an empty conference room for a few hours.
In lieu of the sixth item, our legal counsel has informed me that I need to apologize for the last item and make it clear that neither Jellyvision nor ALEX condone the capturing and keeping of coworkers by way of large nets, small nets, snares, bear traps, holes in the ground covered up with leaves so they just look like more ground, lassos, secret bookcases, or any other such devices.
Hang this on the door when you feel like you're ready to throw in the towel. Take a walk outside, get yourself a treat, and take a deep breath. You're doing great!

Building Bridges for QL Education:
National Numeracy Network and SIGMAA QL
By Bernard L. Madison
In response to the increasing need for collegiate education that helps students achieve quantitative literacy (QL) and the complexities of providing that education, two new complementary organizations have emerged. One is the MAA's special interest group SIGMAA QL, and the other is an interdisciplinary membership organization, the National Numeracy Network (NNN). These organizations have missions that are integral parts of a growing national effort to make Americans more able to deal with the multitude of quantitative issues that confront them in their daily lives as citizens, consumers, and workers.
Different terms are used around the world with meanings closely related to or interchangeable with QL. "Numeracy" is used in many countries outside the US. Other closely related terms are "quantitative reasoning," "mathematical literacy," "statistical literacy," and "financial literacy."
SIGMAA QL was formed by action of the MAA Board of Governors in January 2004 and aims to provide a structure within the mathematics community to identify the prerequisite mathematical skills for QL and find innovative ways of developing and implementing QL curricula. The 2004 Chair of SIGMAA QL was Judy Moran (Trinity College) and the 2005 Chair is Caren Diefenderfer (Hollins University). Rick Gillman (Valparaiso University) was a driving force in organizing SIGMAA QL.
The National Numeracy Network (NNN) was formally established as a membership organization at a meeting held at Moose Mountain Lodge near Dartmouth College (NH) in June 2004. As stated in its vision statement, NNN aims toward a society in which all citizens possess the power and habit of mind to search out quantitative information, critique it, reflect upon it, and apply it in their public, personal, and professional lives.
NNN is incorporated in the State of Washington, and of the five members of the NNN Board of Directors, two are in mathematics, and one each in physics, geology, and education. Bernard L Madison (University of Arkansas) is NNN President, and Rebecca Hartzler (Seattle Community College) is Secretary-Treasurer. The other directors are Kim Rheinlander (Dartmouth College), Henry L. Vacher (University of South Florida), and Dorothy Wallace (Dartmouth College). The first meeting of NNN will be held at Macalester College in St. Paul (MN) June 18-19, 2005.
Common Goals
Both NNN and SIGMAA QL recognize that education for QL involves disciplines other than mathematics, but that mathematics has a major contribution to make. As stated in its purpose, beyond its work within the mathematics community, SIGMAA QL also intends to assist colleagues in other disciplines to infuse appropriate QL experiences into their courses. NNN is an interdisciplinary organization and is dedicated to promoting education that integrates quantitative skills across all disciplines and at all levels. To this end NNN supports and promotes collaborations among students, educators, academic centers, educational institutions, professional societies, and corporate partners. Both SIGMAA QL and NNN strive to keep issues of quantitative literacy at the forefront of national and international conversations about educational priorities.
NNN Background
For about three years prior to its official organization, NNN had been a loose confederation of QL centers on college campuses and was part of the initiative in QL sponsored by the National Council on Education and the Disciplines (NCED) located at the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. NCED, led by Robert Orrill, was the lead sponsor of the 2001 national forum, Quantitative Literacy: Why Numeracy Matters for Schools and Colleges, held at the National Academy of Sciences. MAA was a cooperating sponsor of the forum, which was hosted by the Mathematical Sciences Education Board of the National Research Council.
The NCED QL initiative also resulted in the publishing of Mathematics and Democracy (edited by Lynn Arthur Steen) and the proceedings of the national forum, Quantitative Literacy: Why Numeracy Matters for Schools and Colleges (edited by Bernard L. Madison and Lynn Arthur Steen). A third book, Achieving Quantitative Literacy: An Urgent Challenge for Higher Education, written by Lynn Steen and published by MAA, is based on the proceedings and recommendations from the national forum. All three of these books are available from the MAA Bookstore.
NNN offers memberships for individuals, institutions, and corporations. Membership benefits highlight interdisciplinary communication and cooperation facilitated by NNN publications and meetings.
SIGMAA QL Background
Although mathematics for general education always has been a part of the US college curriculum, expectations in QL as a part of an undergraduate degree have been becoming more prominent in the past few decades. In 1989 the MAA, partly in conjunction with the appearance of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics, appointed a Subcommittee on Quantitative Literacy Requirements (QL Subcommittee) of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM). This subcommittee began by considering the question: What quantitative literacy requirements should be established for all students who receive a bachelor's degree?
In 1994, the QL Subcommittee issued a report, "Quantitative Reasoning for College Graduates: A Complement to the Standards," which highlighted four conclusions:
Colleges and universities should treat quantitative literacy as a thoroughly legitimate and even necessary goal for baccalaureate graduates.
Colleges and universities should expect every college graduate to be able to apply simple mathematical methods to the solution of real-world problems.
Colleges and universities should devise and establish quantitative literacy programs each consisting of foundation experience and a continuation experience, and mathematics departments should provide leadership in the development of such programs.
Colleges and Universities should accept responsibility for overseeing their quantitative literacy programs through regular assessments.
These conclusions emphasize the collegiate responsibility for QL education, but the report did not have much immediate effect on collegiate mathematics, and QL continued to be poorly understood and largely ignored in college mathematics curricula. The QL Subcommittee continued to work after 1994, but the need for a more substantial presence of QL in MAA activities was evident from the work produced by the NCED initiative and the substantial attention to general education issues in the CUPM Curriculum Guide 2004. This need led to creation of the SIGMAA QL.
MAA, NCED, and NNN are not the only organizations that have recognized the growing issue of education for QL. Over the past 20 years the American Statistical Association and NCTM developed curricular descriptions and materials that formed the basis of the NCTM's data analysis and probability strand in the NCTM Standards. These developments were made under the heading of quantitative literacy and are critical components of the existing efforts in QL education.
Len Vacher, NNN Director, has for some time written a column for the Journal of Geoscience Education about QL for geoscientists. Project Kaleidoscope, an interdisciplinary science and mathematics project that promotes reform, has organized several sessions and workshops on QL. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has hosted several major conferences on reform of general education with QL (or quantitative reasoning) as one of the major topics.
The momentum of the QL movement was affirmed and increased with the publication of the Summer 2004 issue of AAC&U's Peer Review dedicated to QL. Peer Review's headline mission is to address 'emerging trends and key debates in undergraduate education.' The Peer Review QL issue contains two analytical essays by Lynn Steen and Bernard Madison along with descriptions of QL programs at Hollins University, Augsburg College, and James Madison University.
Colleges and QL
One of the driving forces behind the NCED initiatives and the missions of NNN and the SIGMAA QL is the realization that education for QL is a college issue, as made clear in the 1994 MAA report. Lynn Steen makes this point cogently in his Peer Review article. Using several examples of percentages and averages, Steen concludes, "… QL is sufficiently sophisticated to warrant inclusion in college study and, more important, that without it students cannot intelligently achieve major goals of college education. Quantitative literacy is not just a set of precollege skills. It is as important, as complex, and as fundamental as the more traditional branches of mathematics. Indeed, QL interacts with the core substance of liberal education every bit as much as the other two R's, reading and writing."
Along with Steen, in his Peer Review analysis Bernard Madison emphasizes that education for QL requires interdisciplinary cooperation far beyond what is now the norm in colleges and universities. Madison's analysis focuses on changes in collegiate mathematics that will promote this interdisciplinary cooperation and stronger QL education. Interdisciplinary cooperation is at the very core of the motivation for creating NNN, and the fact that there are strong connections to SIGMAA QL offers opportunities to simultaneously strengthen collegiate mathematics and QL.
Bernard L. Madison is professor of mathematics at the University of Arkansas, member of the SIGMAA QL, and President of NNN.

Sometimes you need to hire multiple people at the same time for the same role – say 3 customer care representatives for a call center.
Until today, to do this in JobScore you'd visit the hire candidate page and click to "keep hiring." JobScore would create a copy of the job; move the hired candidate into the copied job; mark them hired; and leave the original job open for you to keep working on it.
Jobs can now only be filled if a candidate is hired into every opening. If you are hiring just one candidate for a job, everything is largely the same, but if you need to hire multiple people for a role, openings make hiring cleaner and easier to manage over time.
If you want us to clean up your old data and merge copied jobs into jobs with multiple openings, please contact support@jobscore.com and we can take care of that for you.
The hire report now shows a list of openings with hired candidates instead of a list of filled jobs. This is because you can have hired candidates in a job that is not filled, e.g. you've hired 3 of 5 people for a project and are still working on it.
The hire report no longer includes calculations for days to hire and days to start for a job. As you can have multiple hires for each job, these calculations don't work anymore. If you want to know how long it took to fill a job, please use the "Days Open" value shown on the Job Manager.
JobScore plans that limit the number of open jobs (e.g. the professional plan with 10 open jobs) are now based on the # of unfilled openings, not just the # of open jobs. So if you have an open job with 3 openings with one hired candidate, it counts as 2 out of your 10, not 1.
Job openings unlocked the ability for us to start coding job approvals. Please contact support@jobscore.com if you'd like to participate in the upcoming approvals beta.

FCC Net Neutrality Rules Slammed From All Sides
Ryan Singel - Wired
The federal government's new internet fairness policy-designed to prevent the nation's cable and DSL internet service providers from meddling with the open nature of the internet-was met with boisterous criticism Monday night from all sides of the political spectrum.
Republicans, including FCC commissioner Robert McDowell, blasted the new rules as an interventionist over-reach by an activist federal regulator intent on asserting control over the internet.
Democrats, including Sen. Al Franken from Minnesota, along with public interest and free speech groups, slammed the rules as woefully inadequate to protect the public from the predations of an industry keen on turning the internet into a cyber-version of cable TV, with tiers and premium packages affordable by the wealthy.
There was one group, however, which seemed content with the new rules: the nation's cable and telecommunications companies, including AT&T, Comcast and Verizon. They've been making the rounds in recent weeks signaling their support for Chairman Julius Genachowski's (pictured above) compromise deal.
And of course, the new rules allow President Obama to say that he fulfilled a key campaign pledge - net neutrality - when the plan's critics say he has done nothing of the sort, and in fact only consigned the issue to more lawsuits and uncertainty.
The long-awaited FCC move comes after five years of running battles between the nation's telecoms, public interest groups and Silicon Valley firms over how best to keep the internet open to innovation.
Come Tuesday afternoon, following what will likely be a 3-2 party line vote at the FCC, the new rules of the internet road will resemble the old rules in many respects - just with less legal authority, and a massive new loophole.
For the first time, federal policy would allow for so-called reasonable "paid prioritization," which critics argue is the first step toward cleaving out high-speed, premium fast-lanes from the "public internet." This could jeopardize internet innovation by disincentivising entrepreneurial activity on the free, or regular, internet.
The new policy appeared to cross a key hurdle Monday when Democratic FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said he would support it.
"The item we will vote on tomorrow is not the one I would have crafted," Copps said in a statement. "But I believe we have been able to make the current iteration better than what was originally circulated. If vigilantly and vigorously implemented by the Commission - and if upheld by the courts - it could represent an important milestone in the ongoing struggle to safeguard the awesome opportunity-creating power of the open Internet."
"While I cannot vote wholeheartedly to approve the item, I will not block it by voting against it," Copps said.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a liberal advocacy group that supports net neutrality, instantly launched a fusillade against Copps.
"Internet users across America will have lost a hero if Commissioner Copps caves to pressure from big business and supports FCC Chairman Genachowski's fake Net Neutrality rules - rules written by AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon, the very companies the public is depending on the FCC to regulate strongly," PCCC Senior Online Campaigns Director Jason Rosenbaum said in a statement.
"There's no such thing as half a First Amendment, and there's no such thing as half of Net Neutrality. If approved, Genachowski's industry-written rules would be a historic mistake: For the first time, the FCC would give its stamp of approval to discrimination online."
The apparent denouement of this saga comes after five years of debates, lawsuits, botched regulatory actions, grassroots campaigns, and millions of dollars spent lobbying the federal government.
In 2005, then-FCC chairman Michael Powell issued a set of principles, the so-called Four Freedoms, which said that internet users had the right to use the lawful software and services they want to on the internet, access their choice of content, use whatever devices they like, and get meaningful information about how their online service plan works. The principles applied explicitly only to cable and DSL connections, and the FCC didn't say if they applied to wireless providers, such as 3G plans for cellphones.
The FCC's new plan is basically the same as the old plan, with some key tweaks, according to a summary given to reporters Monday afternoon.
Both wireless and fixed broadband service providers will have to explain how they manage congestion on their networks. Cable and DSL companies will have to let you use the applications, online services and devices that you want to. Meanwhile, wireless companies will be prohibited from blocking websites and internet telephony services like Skype. Cable and DSL providers would be barred from "unreasonably" discriminating against various online services.
It is unclear what will constitute the FCC's standard of "unreasonableness." But if the FCC determines such "unreasonable" discrimination is occurring, the FCC says it has the power to enjoin - or stop - the behavior, as well as issue fines or even seize assets, an FCC official said.
McDowell vigorously opposes the plan, which he says will "expand the government's reach into the Internet by attempting to regulate its inner workings," as he wrote in an Op-Ed in The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, pro-net neutrality advocates lambasted the plan as "fake" net neutrality and accused Genachowski of caving to corporate interests. The order leaves open the possibility of providers creating internet fast lanes and slow lanes (for instance, charging YouTube to get to customers faster). Mobile carriers will also be free to charge users extra to watch online video services.
"The proposed rules are so riddled with loopholes that it's clear that the FCC chairman crafted them with the sole purpose of winning the endorsement of AT&T and cable lobbyists," said Tim Karr, campaign director of pro-net neutrality group Free Press.
"We're thinking of running James Cicconi as the next FCC Commissioner," Karr added. "His campaign slogan would be 'eliminate the middle man.'"
Cicconi is AT&T's top lobbyist in Washington, D.C. In the weeks leading up to announcement of the rules, AT&T lobbyists met with senior FCC staff at least six times to make their views on the issue known, according to federal disclosure documents.
Like former Chairman Powell's rules, the new FCC plan is built on a jumble of legal authorities. In the Bush years, the FCC deregulated broadband. That move declared that the Internet was not a communication service, which means the FCC has little authority over it. (Except oddly, when it comes to the rules about making the internet wiretap-friendly for the government, in which case, broadband is considered a communications service and thus carriers have to build-in wiretap equipment).
So these net neutrality rules aren't based on the FCC's authority to regulate broadband internet service, which was struck down last April in the landmark Comcast decision, which stunned an over-confident FCC.
Instead, the commission is relying on the authority of a hodge-podge of provisions cobbled together from the 1996 Telecommunications Act - authority the commission insists it can defend in federal court. One of those provisions gives the FCC authority to regulate video games.
When asked during a press briefing Monday to elaborate on the legal basis for the new rules - and whether this arrangement of twigs and twine would be challenged quickly in court, as the earlier rules were - a senior official bristled at the question. He called it loaded.
But just last spring, Genachowski himself said the FCC's own general counsel has warned that the commission was on shaky legal ground in the wake of the Comcast case which overturned the rules.
"The Commission's General Counsel and many other lawyers believe that the Comcast decision reduces sharply the Commission's ability to protect consumers and promote competition using its 'ancillary' authority," Genachowski said, "and creates serious uncertainty about the Commission's ability, under this approach, to perform the basic oversight functions, and pursue the basic broadband-related policies, that have been long and widely thought essential and appropriate."
In the wake of the Comcast disaster, Genachowski proposed to rebuild the rules by re-classifying broadband as a "communications service," which would have given the agency clear authority to impose so-called "common carrier" rules. But that idea turned out to be political kryptonite, even if the FCC promised to apply to the internet only a small handful of the rules that regulate the phone system.
For his part, Republican commissioner McDowell is under no such illusions about what a boon the vague new rules will be for the highly-paid corporate lawyers the cable and telecommunications industry keeps on retainer like pets.
"The FCC's action will spark a billable-hours bonanza as lawyers litigate the meaning of 'reasonable' network management for years to come," McDowell wrote. "How's that for regulatory certainty?"

Generally, I favor a free marketplace and am not in favor of undue government regulation or intervention into matters like this, but the primary issue that I have is with the lack of competition. I have no choice when it comes to broadband access - I have either Time Warner or nothing. And as Time Warner basically told me, when their throughput dropped to 0.3 Mbps for 3 weeks, I can take their crap service or leave it.
I suppose it's TW's pipes, but broadband is a virtual utility. In my opinion, deregulation should be predicated on the presence of a real marketplace and if there is only one provider for the vast majority of Americans, in their respective homes, I would argue that some type of regulation is a necessity.


The Rolex Oyster Date came to market in the 1950's via reference 6534. Boasting a 34mm case measurement, the Date is slightly smaller than the Datejust, which debuted a few years earlier with a 36mm case. If you seek a vintage dress reference with smaller proportions and a date mechanism on the dial, the Date is your best bet. The pre-owned Rolex 6534 is offered in an all-steel finish, creating a timepiece that has held its value exceptionally well through the years. Initially waterproof up to 100 meters, you can also rest assured that the movement within the case is still in working order. This particular men's Rolex boasts an attractive patina on the dial and is a striking collector's item.


Rough as the past year has been for Yahoo, one of the company's more head-scratching moves may yet prove beneficial. Last November, Yahoo snatched up Interclick for $270 million, leaving many in the industry to wonder, what does Yahoo need with yet another ad network? But on July 9, Yahoo plans to roll out Genome, a new audience buying platform built on Interclick's proprietary ad targeting technology.
Genome promises to help Yahoo finally realize the potential of that audience data it collects: account registrations, search queries and user behavior—data the company has been touting for a decade.
According to Peter Foster, Yahoo's gm of audience and performance advertising, Yahoo has begun rolling out Genome's tools to hundreds of existing clients, including BMW and STP. The pitch is that brands can build audience profiles using both Yahoo's first-party data (including data from the social TV app IntoNow later this year) and third-party data from about 25 sources, including BlueKai and eXelate.
To meet demand, Yahoo has already increased the Genome sales staff by 50 percent to 60 percent. "Our strategy is to continue to focus on the top 400 or 500 advertisers in the marketplace," Foster said.

More train formation guides from hattons. This time freight. Perhaps IRM could do a formation guide in the future for trains like liners, ballasts, cement, weed spray, etc. Or perhaps we could collectively milk the brains of all on here and oracles like @jhb171achill for CIE era and IE/IR trains such as mk2/mk3, mail trains, RPSI formations (eg Galway early morningpax+mail pre1994: 071+Bogie Laminate TPO+Mk1 GSV+mk2d SOx3+mk2drest+mkd2 FO+EGV), and build a sticky thread with visual representation of classic trains.
Can't understand why this is not already available. If it included details of where rakes were typically seen that would be great too.
I'm out gallivanting in Killarney. I'll delve into the Catacombs when I get back on Wednesday.
Pre-1960, the rule was basically no two wagons alike in goods trains, nor coaches in passenger trains.
A lot of the pics in Rails Through the West will illustrate the 1968-90 period typically.
Even the cement bubbles, when first introduced, would be strewn among other goods vans and open wagons, maybe 2 or 3 at a time.
That's what I'm hoping to reproduce with a few h-vans and open wagons, perhaps a 20ft bell or two in a mix rake formation circa 1968. More variety and visually interesting. The new grey livery bubbles will be perfect for such a formation.
A word of caution if I may - I've been informed that certainly as regards the later era (1970s/80s and onwards) formation guides, the rakes are not necessarily prototypically accurate.
In some cases it appears they have substituted the correct vehicle types for what is actually available, while this may not affect the 1950s/60s-era guides I felt I should make people aware of this.
