Circuits to Packets - policy and regulation for the IP transitionMartin Geddes
How should the policy community react to the transition for voice from circuits to packets? This presentation describes some of the issues in using packets, the role of the regulator in addressing them, and suggests an alternative regulatory approach. This includes a "Pigouvian tax" on the use of numbers where the quality assurance is not provided.
Great Lakes coastal wetlands exist in severely altered watersheds and landscapes that can result in degraded wetland conditions (e.g., monotypic vegetation, invasive species), and management actions required to maintain biologically diverse wetlands can be ecologically limiting (e.g., diked wetlands with minimal hydrologic exchange). We report on three GLRI-funded projects designed to improve coastal wetland ecosystems by restoring hydrologic connectivity, increasing fish passage, and enhancing wetland ecosystem functions and services. Biological monitoring is an integral component of each project and includes traditional and innovative research efforts focused on results with broad application across the Great Lakes basin.

This document contains a collection of over 50 photographs pairing famous celebrities and public figures from various fields such as music, film, politics, and activism. Some of the pairings included are Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein, Freddie Mercury and Jane Seymour, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The document credits the rare photos to a website and includes background music from Queen.
This document promotes Syria as a hub of civilization and culture with a diverse business field and exciting destinations across mountains, canyons, and fields. It notes that beyond infrastructure, Syria offers friendly people who are welcoming, helpful, and unmatched in hospitality. It concludes by asking to leave Syria alone since they do not have oil.

Taking photos at the right angle can produce interesting effects. This slideshow explores different angles for photography and how they can distort perspective and scale in photos. Viewers will see examples of photos taken at high, low, and sideways angles and how they manipulate what is shown in the frame.
