The Guardians II
Wayne Lehr returns in The Guardians II - Echoes of Thunder! The Trakarshan execution ceremony was set under the warmth of the summer Prethundran sun. Bill and Lehr stood alone, defiantly awaiting their inevitable fate. Larek, the Trakarshan Commander responsible for their capture, aims his weapon at Wayne Lehr's chest, ready to execute the Trakarshan's most hated enemy. Behind Larek, the group of Trakarshan brass, including the Lord Superior, remembers the atrocities committed by Wayne Lehr against the Trakarshans. Revenge will be sweet; no one escapes Trakarshan justice. The new Trakarshan Empire will be built on the ashes of its most hated enemy! Larek hesitated for just a small moment, and allowed the memories of his victory overcome him. He wanted to savor every moment, to impose on them his strength, and their weakness. As Larek looked into the gun site, he could see Wayne Lehr's heart just as clear as day. In this one moment, Larek could see everything that he loathed and hated. The time had finally come! The blaster fire from Larek's rifle screamed out, attracted to the chests of the two heroes valiantly facing them.
Broadband
There is widespread concern in the telecommunications industry that public policy may be impeding the continued development of the Internet into a high-speed communications network. In the absence of ubiquitous, high-speed ¡°broadband¡± Internet connections for residential and small-business customers, the demand for IT equipment and new Internet service applications may stagnate. Broadband policy is controversial in large part because of the differences in the regulatory regimes faced by different types of carriers. Cable television companies face neither retail price regulation of their cable modem services nor any requirements to make their facilities available to competitors. Local t...
Transforming Everything?
Broadband, or high-speed internet, has been called the most important infrastructure challenge of the century. It has the potential to connect remote communities, streamline health care services, and support innovation across education, economics, and numerous other fields. Given the growing and widespread investments in broadband, how can citizens and policymakers determine whether the promise of broadband is being fulfilled? Transforming Everything? offers a comprehensive guide to the complexities and possibilities of broadband as a social technology. It addresses challenges for evaluating broadband initiatives across diverse contexts and proposes guidance and methods for evaluation for po...

Is the Good Corporation Dead?
Can corporations remain socially responsible in today's fiercely competitive global economy? For several decades after World War II, companies like IBM, which exemplified what journalist Robert J. Samuelson called the 'good corporation, ' poured forth material comforts and technological ideas while guaranteeing full employment and adequate retirement. In the 1980s all of that changed, as corporations moved to 'downsize' and become lean, mean global competitors. In this collection, thirteen prominent scholars in business ethics, finance, management, and religion and six corporate leaders respond to a new essay by Samuelson that sounds the death knell of the 'good corporation.' They propose new approaches to corporate integrity and social responsibility in the global economy. The book will be useful in corporate workshops and will make an excellent business ethics text in philosophy departments and business schools
Methods in the Mediterranean
Archaeologists and historians address particular issues of the correlation of archaeology and texts, treating important issues such as linking survey and ancient documents, the contextual independence of historical and archaeological evidence, and the classical site as text itself.
Deep Oil Spills
The demand for oil and gas has brought exploration and production to unprecedented depths of the world’s oceans. Currently, over 50% of the oil from the Gulf of Mexico now comes from waters in excess of 1,500 meters (one mile) deep, where no oil was produced just 20 years ago. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill blowout did much to change the perception of oil spills as coming just from tanker accidents, train derailments, and pipeline ruptures. In fact, beginning with the Ixtoc 1 spill off Campeche, Mexico in 1979-1980, there have been a series of large spill events originating at the sea bottom and creating a myriad of new environmental and well control challenges. This volume explores the physics, chemistry, sub-surface oil deposition and environmental impacts of deep oil spills. Key lessons learned from the responses to previous deep spills, as well as unresolved scientific questions for additional research are highlighted, all of which are appropriate for governmental regulators, politicians, industry decision-makers, first responders, researchers and students wanting an incisive overview of issues surrounding deep-water oil and gas production.
Rethinking Rights and Regulations
Contributors to this volume explore the dynamics of new communications technologies and public policy; from TPRC 2002.
