The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a broadband study Wednesday concluding that there continues to be a digital divide between urban, rural and metro areas and suggests broadband speed is integral to bridging that divide.
"Broadband access is viewed as necessary to fully utilize the Internet's potential," the report concludes. "As the Internet economy has matured, more applications now require higher data transmission rates, even in the case of simple shopping websites."
The study found that, in 2007, while 55% of U.S. adults had broadband access, only 4% of adults in rural households could make the same claim. The study said that the shortfall may be due to the cost of service or lack of service due to lower returns on sparsely populated areas. Some of the lower-service areas attributed to small populations and ageing populations, the study found, are clustered in North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota and Oregon. But other areas in Nebraska, Kansas and Vermont with similar population characteristics had higher than expected broadband penetration, "suggesting that policy, economic, and social factors can overcome common barriers," the study said.
The study also found that of those rural households with Internet connections, 70% had a broadband connection vs. 84% for urban households.
The report was released the same day that co-author Peter Stenberg was a panelist at an FCC workshop on broadband adoption, where he drew on the study to advocate for closing that divide.
USDA has $2.5 million in economic stimulus grant and loan money to help do just that, along with existing programs under the 2008 Farm Act.
"The USDA study adds more weight to the overwhelming evidence that broadband is becoming critical infrastructure and driving the economy throughout America," said Free Press research director Derek Turner in response to the study. "Closing the rural digital divide should be a top priority for policymakers, who must ensure that economic stimulus funds reach the rural areas that need them the most. We must also finally tackle the long-needed reform of the Universal Service Fund. Policies that will foster a world-class broadband infrastructure for all Americans are essential to the future of rural America."
The fund, paid into by commercial providers, underwrites phone service in hard or uneconomical-to-reach places, but does not provide a similar subsidy for broadband deployment.
The reappearance of Pennywise isn't just terrifying moviegoers. He's also being blamed for scaring off business for working clowns, though producers of the new It movie (in theaters Sept. 8) argue that the villain is just another in the history of the horror genre.
It producer David Katzenberg has heard that real clowns were "furious" but finds the hubbub to be "somewhat absurd," he told USA TODAY on Tuesday.
"It’s not as if a group of NHL goalies got up and protested Jason or a group of toy manufacturers protested Chucky," added producer Seth Grahame-Smith, referring to the antagonists from the Friday the 13th and Child's Play slasher movies. "There’s a long tradition in horror of these seemingly harmless things being perverted for that very reason, because they are seemingly harmless."
The new adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel featuring the evil dancing clown Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) has the red-nosed crew feeling the pinch. Also not helping matters: real-life "scary clown" sightings last fall and the return of freaky Twisty the clown on the new season of FX's American Horror Story.
In its online media kit, the World Clown Association takes a stand on differentiating "scary clowns" from those offering comic relief and entertainment for families.
"Just as a haunted house event may have a 'doctor' wearing surgical gear, carrying a bloody chainsaw, people need to understand that this character is NOT a real doctor," the site says. "He is a person portraying an evil character in order to scare people. In the same way, people dressed as horror clowns are not 'real clowns.' They are taking something innocent and wholesome and perverting it to create fear in their audience."
In April, King tweeted that real clowns were mad at him. "Sorry, most are great. BUT ... kids have always been scared of clowns," he wrote. "Don't kill the messengers for the message."
The clowns are pissed at me. Sorry, most are great. BUT...kids have always been scared of clowns. Don't kill the messengers for the message.
WCA president Pam Moody was one of those irked at King, specifically in regard to his 1986 novel It, in which Pennywise haunts a cast of characters in Derry, Maine, as children and decades later as adults. "That introduced the concept of this character," Moody told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's a science-fiction character. It's not a clown and has nothing to do with pro clowning."
Codependents live in a pain-filled world of shame and fear. They often suffer emotional stress that may result in health problems. To cope with this pain, they sometimes make poor decisions that lead to personal addictions of their own or other harmful behaviors like extramarital affairs. They may even lose faith in God. The one they are trying to help cannot give them support, so they lose trust and shut down their feelings. Because they are hiding the problem, they cannot talk to anyone.
They are not helping their loved one; in fact, they are enabling him or her to continue the misbehavior. And they are hurting themselves.
