  1. http://www.mansfield...gItemsPerPage=5 to practice for the impending november 6 national radio silence(a whole 3.5 minutes), no radio, tv, cable, and presumably cell and text traffic, i went for a walk without them this morning. the walk and silence were quite refreshing, thank you. http://www.homelands...ert-system-test On 9 November 2011 at 2 pm eastern standard time, government officials will conduct the first ever test of the national emergency alert system; the test will include broadcast radio and television stations, cable TV, satellite radio, as well as wireline video service providers in all fifty states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa On 9 November 2011 at 2 pm eastern standard time, government officials will conduct the first ever test of the national emergency alert system. The test will include broadcast radio and television stations, cable TV, satellite radio, as well as wireline video service providers in all fifty states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will work with the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) to conduct the test, and the two organizations say they have announced it so far in advance because they "want all partners and especially the public to be aware of this test, what it means, and have plenty of time to prepare." "Because there has never been an activation of the Emergency Alert System on a national level, FEMA views this test as an excellent opportunity to assess the readiness and effectiveness of the current system," said Damon Penn, FEMA's assistant administrator of the National Continuity Program, before the House Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications on 8 July. "It is important to remember that this is not a pass or fail test, but a chance to establish a baseline for making incremental improvements to the Emergency Alert System with ongoing and future testing… While various components of the system are tested regularly, there has never been a nationwide, top-to-bottom test of the system. Also to date, there has never been a national-level or Presidential alert," Penn added. At the hearing, subcommittee chairman Representative Gus Bilirakia (R-Florida) emphasized the importance of having a functioning national alert system. "Be it through television, radio, mobile devices, the internet, social media, reverse 911, or warning sirens, emergency managers and emergency response providers must have prompt and reliable means to provide information to their citizens," he said. The national test was originally pushed for by Julius Genachowski, the chairman of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB). In 2009 his agency issued a report to the FCC, FEMA, and the National Weather Service urging them to review the emergency alert system (EAS) to see if any improvements needed to be made and to create national alert. His efforts resulted in the initial test of the new system in Alaska in early 2010, which led to subsequent technical and bureaucratic improvements for the system. As part of the new system, authorities have imposed reporting requirements that were previously not found in the current state and localEAS testing process. Local participants in the new EAS will now have to record and submit the time they received alert messages and when they responded to the FCC. This data will help provide insight in to the effectiveness of the system and where it can be improved. hamelin plays alkan
  2. washington put pujols on 1st base late in the game with no one on base with a 2 run lead, hardly a brilliant move. a tater by the next batter would have had washington answering the tough questions.

  7. games, seasons, even careers, in sports are sometimes determined by fractions of an inch, perceptions, and camera angles. i wonder if the same play in madison would have been officiated the same. the officials made the correct call by the angles i saw. last night's ending could not have been scripted.

  13. http://gma.yahoo.com...ouchon=501%2Cny When Apple released its new iOS 5 operating system to go with itsiPhone 4S, it touted a new app called "Find My Friends" as a great way to track and meet up with friends. If they agree, you can see their locations on a map on your screen. But the app's enterprising customers are apparently already finding other uses. If the online posts appearing on a chat forum atMacRumors.com are for real, "Find My Friends" may have already claimed its first marriage. Saturday night on MacRumors, a man saying he lived in New York City posted this: "Divorcing wife. Thanks iPhone 4s and Find My Friends. "I got my wife a new 4s and loaded up find my friends without her knowing. She told me she was at her friends house in the east village. I've had suspicions about her meeting this guy who live uptown. Lo and behold, Find my Friends has her right there. "I just texted her asking where she was and the dumb b---- said she was on 10th Street!! Thank you Apple, thank you App Store, thank you all. These beautiful treasure trove of screen shots [sic] going to play well when I meet her ... at the lawyer's office in a few weeks. "thankfully, she's the rich one." It has not been determined whether the story posted on MacRumors was, in fact, authentic, and the man did not immediately reply to a request from ABC News for comment. But more than 100,000 people have viewed the posts, according to MacRumors. More than 300 of them replied with expressions of sympathy, skepticism and -- this being the Internet -- a few less-than-savory jokes. Arnold Kim, the editorial director of MacRumors, said it was "definitely a busy thread." MacRumors did not try to verify the man's story (if, in fact, it was a man), but said everyone who registers for its forums has to validate their email when they register. "Find My Friends" uses the iPhone or iPad's built-in Global Positioning System to see your friends' locations on a map on the screen of your device. GPS can be accurate to within a few feet for civilian uses. Apple says "The Find My Friends app is a great way to share your location with people who are important to you" -- whether you're trying to meet friends at a crowded concert or make sure your kids get safely home from school. The man was back with a new post less than an hour later, including a couple of screen grabs showing the location of his wife was on East 65th St., though she sent him a text message saying, "Was hard to find stupid cab hate meat packing...." The husband again: "She said she is in meat packing district which is on 12th street. I DONT THINK SO. Appreicate [sic] the support. not my finest hour here but going to get better soon." The new iPhone 4S and operating system have been off-the-charts successes for Apple, which said this morning that it sold more than four million iPhone 4S in three days, and that 25 million people are now using iOS 5. Technology watchers are particularly struck by Siri -- the voice-recognition "personal assistant" built into the new software that accepts spoken commands, answers questions, and is eerily intelligent in its responses. There was a memorial service Sunday night for Steve Jobs on the campus of Stanford University, near Apple's corporate headquarters in California, amid widespread stories that he was deeply involved in the next iPhone -- the replacement for the iPhone 4S. The presumably-jilted husband put up one last post Saturday night: "what really chaps my a-- is not the cheating but the fact that they were probably admiring and laughing over the new phone I BOUGHT. haha. well someone about to get the last laugh tonight." And that was the last from him. The whole thing may have been a joke, or a domestic tragedy. Ben Crompton, who writes the Pocket Lint blog, said there have certainly been other apps before, such as Google Latitude, that let you track people through GPS signals, but Apple will make it trendy. "The burning issue seems to be that it is a very powerful tool to have," he wrote, "bringing with it huge amounts of info to the user as well as delivering plenty of info about the user to others. For some this power will outdo the user's knowledge of how to use it properly." "Still, on the up side," he concluded, "maybe Siri will be able to offer some marriage guidance advice." this must be an old shot---the new one says ----they'll do, we have protools and auto-tune.

  18. thanks for the wise words, jim. at a local level, that is most often the way it works. at the national level, all i see on both political sides is plundering filthy opportunistic rats, whose only real concern is how to embellish and maintain their coffers, and those of their supporters, the public and national future be damned. it's been that way for at least 20 years, it seems. what now passes for research and planning is to buy patents from business rivals and start ups, and cotton favor from government interests.
  19. http://technologizer...ond-tomorrow/2/ a series of life magazine whiskey ads from around 1943 was strangely prescient. too bad, the folks who want to plan today's tomorrows for us want to take us back to either 1776 or the 8th century,or turn us into mindless soulless servants of the state. either way, you and i are sure losers. some folks are ahead of their times. i choose to think of them as lonely orphans of the ages. boyd meets stravinsky(1944)
