Much of the debate on the roles that media and advertising have in the youth obesity crisis has focused on television. In this article the authors argue that increasingly sophisticated digital marketing has escaped the same level of scrutiny, with the result that young people on both sides of the Atlantic are at risk from a marketing industry that is able to target them with an everincreasing level of personalisation. They conclude that, while self-regulation is undoubtedly of value, the time has come for governments to take decisive action of their own. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Seizing our rightful digital destiny won't be easy. One of the reasons groups such as mine opposed the Comcast marriage with AT&T was Comcast's lamentable track record in Washington. Comcast has long resisted any public policy that would provide communities a measure of control over their digital bandwidth. Unfortunately, Comcast and its allies have already won many of these battles at the Federal Communications Commission. We are still fighting them in the courts. Will our schools and libraries receive sufficient connections to the Internet to help educate our children? Will Comcast lines provide additional opportunities for all of the area's commercial enterprises, especially small businesses? How is Comcast planning to share its broadband empire with nonprofit civic and cultural groups? How will Comcast ensure that the benefits of the Internet serve low- income households?

The recent U.S. financial crisis caused a significant slow-down in financings across all markets. Nonetheless, government sponsored incentives ensured that the pace of installations of wind and solar renewable energy projects in the U.S. remained robust. Much of this activity was attributable to the introduction of government-backed cash grants in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). ARRA provided developers an alternate incentive in the form of government-backed cash grants for qualifying projects, in lieu of tax credits. In addition to wind power developers, the cash grant program also has benefitted solar power developers and integrators. The combination of tax and cash incentives has resulted in a boom in the number of solar installations in the U.S. In the last couple of years, projects that are of sufficient credit quality have been able to obtain debt financing both in the bank loan market and the bond market. There are several reasons why solar is a viable candidate for securitization. The solar market has matured over the last few years and there are now originators or developers in the distributed generation sector with a track record and proven ability to originate transactions with customers in both the residential and commercial sectors.
