What an awesome new proposal! I really hope the commissioners approve it since after all it is a high necessity and demand.
The proposal from the Federal Communications Commission to stop subsidizing rural phone lines and start subsidizing rural broadband connections is long overdue. Right now an estimated 14 million to 28 million Americans have no way of getting access to the Internet. Virtually all of the country’s rural areas now have access to land lines or cellphone coverage. The real deficit is access to high-speed broadband, which can also deliver phone service.
The proposal would direct the fund to provide incentives for companies to lay fiber-optic cable and digital switches to connect rural homes to the Internet at high speeds. They would also fix some serious inefficiencies in the way the fund is managed. The United States urgently needs a better communications network for the 21st century. The F.C.C. plan is a good one. The commissioners should approve it.

Baylor Men's Basketball: Let's Get It Together!
Baylor Bears once Elite 8 Champions last season, have come down with many disappointing losses for the Baylor fans. I understand that we don't have the same starting line up, but our team chemistry needs improvement, along with our shooting.
LaceDarius Dunn, who leads the conference with a 20.8 average, was scoreless in the first half for Baylor (17-10, 6-7) and finished with 12 points on 4-for-14 shooting with six turnovers. Perry Jones III had 10 points and 10 rebounds, rallying late after a 2-for-10 shooting start. Dunn made it to double figures for the 31st straight game but was 4 for 14 and endured his first scoreless half since Dec. 15, 2009 against Jackson State.
With 21 total turnovers, Missouri has beaten Baylor 10 straight times at home, with the Bears' last victory in 1948.

Fashion, Fashion and More Fashion

Shout out to famous Kappa Alpha Theta, Tory Burch, and her many successes within the world of fashion!
Like media and entertainment, fashion now unfolds across several platforms, with different audiences and levels of taste. Tory Burch’s presentation on Sunday — not a show per se but a continuous loop of models — drew top retailers but also a throng of enthusiastic young people, many of whom look at the clothes through their cameras or cellphones with a concentration seldom warranted by ’70s-style sportswear with an English twist.

Business within the Airlines

Everyone is counting down the days until warmer temperatures become the norm again; when we will get to wear our sandals, shorts and t-shirts on a sunny day.
Although, due to the freezing weather, "This has been a terrible winter for flying."About 86,000 flights from Nov. 1 through Feb. 11 were canceled at the top 200 airports, according to Flightstats.com, putting this winter on track as one of the most difficult to navigate. Mr. Herbst, an independent airline analyst who is also a retired commercial pilot, estimated that the storms would shave $100 million in earnings for the airlines, which remains a manageable amount, given that the flights canceled accounted for about 4 percent of all scheduled flights.
