RIAA: Google Isn't Trying Hard Enough To Make Piracy Disappear From The Internet
from the but-of-course dept
Six months later, we have found no evidence that Google's policy has had a demonstrable impact on demoting sites with large amounts of piracy. These sites consistently appear at the top of Google's search results for popular songs or artists.For everyone else in the world, if they're not satisfied with how the sites they favor rank in Google, they learn a little something about search engine optimization. But, noooooooo, not the RIAA. They think that it is a requirement that Google be tailored to them directly.
Well-known, authorized download sites, such as iTunes, Amazon and eMusic, only appeared in the top ten results for a little more than half of the searches. This means that a site for which Google has received thousands of copyright removal requests was almost 8 times more likely to show up in a search result than an authorized music download site. In other words, whatever Google has done to its search algorithms to change the ranking of infringing sites, it doesn't appear to be working.Well, that's one interpretation. Another one (the right one) is that whatever the industry itself has done to raise the rankings of those sites by effectively competing in the marketplace "doesn't appear to be working." iTunes, in particular, is locked up in its own little walled garden with few people "linking in" (a big part of how Google determines relevance). Do people still use eMusic any more? The problem seems to be that those other sites just aren't where people look for stuff when they're searching Google for the music. That's not Google's fault.
Of course, what all this continues to demonstrate, beyond the fact that the RIAA will never, ever be satisfied until Google wipes out all infringement with the magic "piracyBgone" button, is that the RIAA still just doesn't understand search. The methodology here is suspect:
For this analysis we performed searches for [artist] [track] mp3 and [artist] [track] download over a period of several weeks starting December 3, 2012First big mistake: the RIAA simply does not seem to know that Google does not deliver the same results to everyone. That change a while back. They try to tailor specific responses to specific users, based on what those users are searching for. So, if the RIAA is seeing those sites ranked higher, perhaps it says something about where the RIAA is commonly looking for stuff...
Also, here's the thing that the RIAA just doesn't seem to get. Google's entire business and algorithm are built, ground up, around the idea of understanding what people are looking for when they search, and then taking them to that place. The RIAA might not like it, but the simple fact is that when people are searching for [artist] [track] mp3 and [artist] [track] download, chances are they're not looking to buy, but to download for free. So that's what Google is showing them. That's not Google's fault. That's what the person is searching for. Even if Google magically did show them Apple, Amazon and Emusic as the top results for every [artist] [track] mp3 and [artist] [track] download, the people doing those searches wouldn't go there, because they're not looking to buy. If they did a search on "[artist] [track] buy" perhaps there would be different results.
If you actually compare apples to apples, and look at the kinds of sites that people are probably looking for, the RIAA's own "data" seems to suggest that Google is, in fact, demoting sites that receive a lot of takedowns.
Basically, this just reinforces two (completely unsurprising points):
- The RIAA will never, ever be satisfied, no matter what Google does. Which again, reinforces the idea that it was probably a bad idea to even cave in in the first place.
- The RIAA still doesn't understand how search works, nor does it seem to have any interest in learning. It doesn't understand that every single other website in the world has to work hard to lift themselves up in Google's search rankings. They don't get to specifically call out sites they don't like and automatically force Google to lower their rankings. The RIAA gets a massive headstart on every other site in the world... and they still haven't figured out how to take advantage of this.

How to Calm a Temper Tantrum in the Classroom
Experts at the Child Mind Institute in New York are pilot testing a program for teachers, hoping new methods will help educators control their students more successfully, which should help them actually get to teach the students. Shirley Wang and Child Mind Institute Senior Director Dr. Steve Kurtz join Lunch Break. Photo: Bryan Derballa for The Wall Street Journal.

St. Joe's junior turns recyclables into décor
Most teenagers have hobbies outside of school, but 16-year-old Joshua Fraass is one of the few who has managed to turn his passion into profit.
Joshua, a junior at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, has been interested in art and design since he was young, and over the past few years has started to make home and décor items to sell at local craft shows. He is currently preparing for a large show the first weekend of December, where he hopes to make at least 200 items out of recycled and vintage materials.
Joshua originally got the idea of selling his products at craft shows from his grandmother, who made and sold hand-painted wooden crafts; before starting to make items himself, he often helped her set up and run the shows she worked at. However, he says that he did not start making his own products until he saw a basket made out of recycled magazines at a local décor shop last year, and was inspired to make one himself. After that, he began experimenting with different types of recycled materials and developed a line of products that includes holiday cards, garlands and wreaths.
Last year, when Joshua was shopping with his grandmother for craft materials at Patricia's Back Barn in Wheatfield, the owner of the shop asked him what he planned on doing with the things he purchased. When Joshua told her about the decorations he made out of recycled products, she offered to let him sell his products out of her store.
"It was fate," Joshua said. He returned with several items for display, and soon set up his own corner of the store. He now calls his line of products "Go Green Recycled & Vintage" and has created a craft studio in his basement, where he makes all his items.
Joshua says that one of the hardest things about running his business is finding time to balance work and school, especially with all of the pressure that comes with a heavy course load. "Last year it wasn't too bad," he says, "but this year with APs and studying for the SAT, it's a lot harder."
Additionally, Joshua says that finding recycled materials to use and designing and making his products is extremely time-consuming. Because he uses only recycled materials, he cannot simply go to craft stores and buy items in large quantities – he instead shops for materials at Goodwill, Salvation Army and garage sales, and uses old books from library sales for recycled paper.
"I can't always finish things on time because I have to find the recycled materials first," he says, while noting that the cost of his materials often makes it difficult to stay within a budget. Still, Joshua says that despite the difficulties he faces in running his own business, he loves what he does: "I've never found it hard because it's not stressful – if it were too stressful, I wouldn't do it."
Joshua's biggest sellers are the paper hearts that he makes for Valentine's Day, but he also makes paper wreaths, gift bags, cards and stationery. He says that he is starting to make furniture as well. He recently painted several chairs and benches to sell, and has developed a line of framed chalkboards that can be used as wall hangings. Right now, Joshua is spending most of his time preparing to run his own booth for the first time at the holiday craft fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2 at Heim Middle School, 175 Heim Road, Amherst. Although he does not take orders online, he says he's considering creating a website, especially if he decides to continue his business in college. He often gets ideas for new products from online craft blogs, where he can see what other people with similar businesses are doing. He plans on studying environmental design in college, and though he is not sure if he will have the space to set up a studio, he plans on selling his products independently as an adult.
Joshua says that although it can be difficult to balance business with schoolwork, it is worthwhile because he loves what he does. His advice to other teenagers who want to start a business is to find a passion and then persevere – he says with hard work, anyone can start a business.
Meredith McCaffrey is a senior at Sacred Heart Academy.

Craig Kluever's dream was born as he found himself awestruck in front of a grainy black-and-white television screen watching Apollo 11 land on the moon. He was in kindergarten. As he puts it, "that just made a big impact on me. Of course, the first thing I wanted to be was an astronaut." Those early dreams of becoming an astronaut turned instead into a pursuit of the science behind the rockets. Today, the MU Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering works behind the scenes to solve the kind of problems involved in designing space travel—such as how to take off, how to reach a target, and, more importantly, how to return safely to Earth.
For the first six years as an assistant professor, Kluever primarily focused on space missions that used electric propulsion. He worked with NASA on a lot of feasibility studies—aka "paper studies" (e.g., missions to the moon, to Mars, to the outer planets, to Pluto), studies that go into rounds of proposals that compete for selection. Unfortunately, none of the studies Kluever worked on have been selected, though he has come close. He worked on Diana, an early version of Dawn, which did get selected. Kluever has also worked with the X-33 program. In this project he looked at the approach and landing guidance system for this unpowered vehicle, which would have been the next-generation space shuttle (if the program had not been cancelled). Now the hot topic is the Crew Exploration Vehicle, the capsule in which NASA hopes to send astronauts to the moon and to Mars. Kluever is focusing on the atmospheric phase of the entry guidance system, particularly the Earth return, and also working on the ascent guidance system for the vacuum-flight phase of the Crew Launch Vehicle.

text: As the telecommunications industry continues to migrate towards both open source and cloud-driven platforms, major cable providers are taking note. Cable companies are moving rapidly to integrate open source software stacks for both television set top boxes (STB) and wireless gateways—the boxes combining both the cable modem and wireless access point (AP). Millions of CPE devices are already deployed in the field, with more than 250 global licensees provisioned. Major manufacturers of this customer-premises hardware are also supporting the trend. And multiple cable operators—including Comcast, Charter Communications and Liberty Global—have also embraced the Reference Design Kit (RDK), the pre-integrated software stack that provides a common framework for powering this customer-premises equipment.

Winc was founded in 2012 by Xander Oxman and Geoff McFarlane because of a shared belief that wine should be more accessible: simpler to get and easier to enjoy. They joined forces with winemaker and sommelier Brian Smith to build a personalized wine club that has quickly grown into Winc—a California-based winery offering an online membership experience, with wines that are featured at select retailers and restaurants nationwide. Winc is a thriving community of hundreds of thousands of wine lovers that is growing everyday.
Ben and I enjoy a good glass of wine here and there. The problem is, we know nothing about wine. We know what we like, and what tastes good to us, but that's about it!!
Now with Winc, we don't have to worry about trying to pick out something to try. We tell Winc what we want, and they pick it for us!!
All we had to do was answer 6 questions to help them assess our unique tastes. They sent wines specifically chosen to match our palate, and then we rate the wines to help them give better recommendations for our next shipment.
Our first shipment arrived, and we were sent four bottles of white.
Summer Water
Funk Zone
Field Theory
Finkes Widow
Finkes Widow was by far my favorite. It was a sparkling wine, and was not too dry. Summer Water was also very yummy. The other two we found to be a little too dry for us, but by letting Winc know, they will now avoid sending us wines that are too dry!!
Winc's wines start at $13 a bottle. You can add 1-4 bottles in each of your boxes. If you want to go a month with out a shipment, you can postpone your delivery!!
This service is a real treat, and would make a great gift!!
Make sure you follow Winc on Facebook and Twitter to learn about new promotions!!

The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
Do you remember this ad from the 2008 campaign?
The man appearing with John McCain is Pinal County, Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu. He's a rising star in the Republican party and Arizona chair of Romney's campaign. (He spoke at CPAC just last week.) He was planning to run for a Congressional seat…or he was until this story came out:
Paul Babeu's Mexican Ex-Lover Says Sheriff's Attorney Threatened Him With Deportation.
Did I mention Babeu's ex-lover is a man? If I was browsing for a work of fiction I would reject this story as just too absurd. Anyway, go read the whole thing. It has pictures!
UPDATE: Babeu admits in his press conference that he is gay and that he had a relationship with the accuser but denies he threatened deportation.

Miami Heat Owner Now Threatening To Separately Sue The Lawyer Defending Blogger Who Linked To Unflattering Image
from the the-plot-thickens dept
Katz's lawyers sent Randazza a "draft complaint" they say they are prepared to file against him, claiming that he "acted in concert" with the blogger, and "substantially assisted or encouraged her in unlawful activities or have given substantial assistance to her in accomplishing a tortious result, and your own conduct, separately considered, constitutes a breach of duty."
Randazza has responded, in court as part of the ongoing lawsuit, asking for a protective order against this "threatened litigation," which Randazza suggests is really intended to get access to communications between him and his client, breaking lawyer-client confidentiality.
This letter seeks discovery of facts and circumstances outside of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.... This letter seeks exculpatory data from a Defendant's attorney which is clearly attorney-client communications. In order to avoid being sued by RKA, defense counsel must tell RKA's lawyers how and why defense counsel did not assist or promote Defendant's critical blogging about the RKA Plaintiffs.Given the activity in this case already, this certainly feels like an attempt to bury the case in more paperwork. We've seen this kind of thing before, with wealthy individuals who file a bunch of lawsuits, including against the lawyers who defend those they sue. It certainly seems like an attempt to create a nuisance, rather than to address any actual legal conflict (and, yes, to Katz's lawyers: that's an opinion).

If you want to say that Jessica Yu burst onto the film scene in 1993 with her short "Sour Death Balls," you'd be almost literally right. The film is almost 10 minutes of people trying to handle the disgusting confection. Yu's work wins accolades, including a short-documentary Oscar for "Breathing Lessons," about a writer who spent most of his life in an iron lung. Now she's brought her California chops to bear on"Last Call at the Oasis," a feature-length documentary on water waste, water quality and water manipulation not just here — where more than half of our drinkable public water goes to water lawns and plants outside our homes — but the whole, not-so-wet world over.
When you turn on the faucet now, do you now look at it differently?
Oh yes. I remember seeing a movie with a scene where a couple was arguing in a kitchen, and all I could see was that they left the tap running while they were arguing. I was, like, "Turn the water off, turn the water off!" I was pretty rabid for a while there.
And you practice water conservation at home?
I see it most with the kids. [My] girls basically never flush the toilet. I said, if you go to someone else's house, it's OK.
Growing up in California, my family was very drought-aware. I grew up smugly thinking I knew something about water issues, but really all I knew was drought. We had the bucket in the shower; my parents never wanted a lawn. The whole hillside would go brown, and we would let it.
Do we Americans indulge in magical thinking about water?
That is such a good term for it. It really is an abstraction for Americans, because we can turn on our taps and the water keeps coming out.
I was thinking a good title for the film would be "A River in Egypt," but then I thought it's actually not "denial." Denial means there's evidence you dismiss. This is not even on their radar.
We act like all we have to do is stick a straw in the ground and it'll never end — the way Las Vegas has done with its aquifer.
That was shocking. One thing we haven't been able to do before is measure ground water depletion on a large scale. Jay Famiglietti, the scientist at UC Irvine working with NASA and JPL to study groundwater depletion, looks at water across borders; people in different countries don't necessarily want to share their water knowledge with their neighbors. I've got to say, in the film, the scientists were the unsung heroes. It's not [in their] job description to speak out and maybe they don't get any reward — a lot of time they get flak — but they really feel a moral obligation to say something.
You've undertaken some difficult documentary subjects before, like profiling a man in an iron lung. Water is real but at the same time it's abstract.
The challenge was twofold. From a cinematic perspective, the opportunity to make a film about water is pretty irresistible. I like trying to make it a character in the film. On the other side, the complexity is pretty overwhelming. But I felt I only wanted to do it if I could tackle that complexity and get some sense of the overall picture. I didn't know what that picture was, which made the process of researching and talking to people — that was enough to keep going for months.
What else really shocked you?
When Famiglietti says the aquifer under the Central Valley, which we use to irrigate a lot of the crops that provide one-fourth of the food in this country, could be depleted in as little as 60 years — that absolutely floored me. It always seems like the consequences are much further down the road, but I thought, Wow, this is within, certainly, my kids' generation. That one definitely kept me up at night.
In another clip, Lisa Jackson [administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency] is saying we use over 80,000 chemicals [in water] and only five are regulated by the Toxic Substances Control Act. That's not to say 80,000 chemicals equal 80,000 problems, but all of our waterways are vulnerable to a lot of those chemicals and we don't know what a lot of them are doing. That's pretty upsetting.
So it must have taken great restraint not to just try to seize people by the lapels and say, "You've got to listen!"
I was fascinated by the psychological underpinnings of the water crisis. As you go along, you realize the acceleration and scope of the problems is new, but the issues of drought and shortage and pollution are not. So obviously we have not been able to address these problems. Much as you'd like to grab people by the lapels, you have to tell them stories, you have to make them feel the stakes through the characters they connect with.
Did you feel a need to come up with the swelling music at the end, to finish full of optimism and hope?
After six months of intense research, my producer and I were pretty convinced we couldn't come up with an ending that says, "Hey everybody, tomorrow we're going to turn the ship around, we're going to fix this thing." I don't think it's true and it's too much of a burden. It makes it feel like everyone has to drop everything and become water sentinels the next day. I ended up feeling some weird solace in our more attainable goal of how much can we slow this down — and this odd silver lining: We face so many water problems and most of us aren't doing anything, so the room for improvement is actually enormous.
It starts with some fairly simple gestures, like not leaving the water running while you're brushing your teeth.
Peter Gleick, one of the experts in the film, made the point — [there is a] difference between conservation and efficiency. There's personal sacrifices people can make; you can buy more efficient appliances, and industry can create things to help lessen the waste — so it's not, gee, I can only bathe once a week.
What did you have to leave on the cutting room floor?
It's funny, you fight so hard for stuff not to be taken out, then when it's gone you don't really miss it. I did have a little section that I loved, called the canary in the coal mine. We kept hearing that [this or that situation] was "the canary in the coal mine." The [dying] frogs are the canary in the coal mine. Lake Mead is the canary in the coal mine. So I had this montage where everyone was saying this was the canary in the coal mine — the idea was that there's a lot of canaries dying in coal mines that we're not linking together. But I think the film makes that point by bringing things together at the end.
Some of the nastiest emails I've ever gotten were about a column pointing out that bottled water has fewer testing standards than plain old city tap water — and that a lot of bottled water is tap water.
Remember this column in Vanity Fair, where celebrities would talk about their favorite brand of bottled water? I think they finally dropped that, but people are still surprised. In a lot of cases people feel like they're getting something better, and of course they're not.
L.A. Times film critic Kenneth Turan's review said you did the CSI version of the water story. Is it an unfolding mystery?
Tyrone Hayes, the scientist at UC Berkeley, is trying to figure out how atrazine [a herbicide in the water supply] is affecting frogs, and he talks about CSI, following the trail of damage. I don't know if [the film] is the CSI approach; we don't start out with one big thesis and prove it. We start with some ideas and then at the end come to something.
As TV news does fewer long-form investigative stories and documentaries, will films like yours step in to address these big issues?
I don't know. I hope there's a market for audiences wanting to know what's going on. You look at a film like"Food, Inc.,"which my producer Elise Pearlstein produced — you could probably tie it to the demise of pink slime in the past few weeks. So I think there's a real role for these films.
Is there the kind of organized political opposition to changing water policy that there is to climate change science?
Maybe I'm naive about this, but I don't think it's that organized. It's more, say, that polluters can choose to believe that the impact on the general water supply will not be great, or that it's difficult to prove. It's more neglect, because in the United States we've been so fortunate when it comes to water.
And in California and the West especially, where, as Mark Twain supposedly said, "Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting over."
Water law — you could make a very scary film about the problems and legalities. Water laws are based on a different population, a different climate, everything — but people still think they have the right to water that someone was promised 100 years ago. It's so complicated and contentious. But then again California is a kind of a microcosm for these kinds of water conflicts around the world.
You're not on street corners leafleting people about the water crisis, but you are a believer now?
You don't want to make a film as an activist, but making a film can make you become an activist. I don't want people to feel like they've witnessed propaganda, and I don't think the film is that. But when you learn all these pieces and put them together, it's hard not to feel like you want other people to know. At one point off camera I was asking Jay Famiglietti about speaking up. He said, "I do have colleagues who say you should just put the work out there — that's where your job ends." He said, "You know the average number of citations for a published academic work? One." One. He said, "If you were in a crowded theater and you smelled smoke, you would yell." He said, "I can't not yell."

The coffee shop, Stephen Carwardine & Co, had been keeping its customers entertained by playing records. EMI, then called The Gramophone Company, argued it was against the law to play the record in public without first receiving the permission of the copyright owners. The judge agreed, establishing this as an important legal principle.
EMI and Decca formed Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) to carry out this licensing role and opened the first office in London.
There has been much technological, social and legal advancement since PPL was formed in the 1930s. The Copyright Act 1956 led to PPL's role expanding to cover the licensing of broadcasters that played recorded music. The popularity and growth of radio in the 1960s and 70s led to burgeoning PPL revenues. Further copyright law changes in 1988 strengthened PPL's licensing position.
In 1996, performers were given the rights to receive 'equitable remuneration' where recordings of their performances were played in public or broadcast – leading to PPL paying them royalties directly for the first time. Performer organisations PAMRA and AURA merged with PPL in 2006, leading to an annual meeting and dedicated board specifically for performers.
From collecting £1 million in our first decade of business to now collecting over £150 million a year, we are managing more rights for more members with a larger amount of money being paid out – enabling more licensees to play a greater variety of music. We have also branched out to collect royalties internationally for when our members' recordings have been played in other countries.
The digital age has brought ongoing challenges to the music industry and recorded music. We continue to fight to protect our members' rights and work with governments and leading industry bodies to ensure the creative industries are supported.
PPL licenses the use of recorded music in the UK and distributes the fees to its members.
PPL is involved with political campaigns around the world to ensure protection of copyright.

Pempek or Mpek-mpek is a delicacy from
There are many varieties of Pempek. The most famous one is the Pempek Kapal Selam (Indonesian: "submarine"), which is made from a chicken egg wrapped within the Pempek dough and then deep-fried. This type pempek contains of high vitamin, protein, mineral, and carbohydrate content, is the most nutritious variety. As a local staple, Pempek can be commonly found on every street in
According to some stories, Pempek had been already in
Due the lack of some ingredients, I finally successfully made by myself. I substituted sago flour with tapioca and for the cuko, instead of using vinegar I used tamarind for having a sour taste.
Category: Seafood
Difficulty: Medium
Preparing time: 45 minutes
Serving for 4 people
Fish Cake
- 250 gram flesh of Spanish mackerels, grinded
- 5 tablespoons ice water
- 100 g tapioca flour or sago flour
- 20 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Soup (Cuko)
- 125 g palm sugar
- 1 cloves of garlic, crushed/smashed
- 2 bird's eyes chillies cut thinly
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoons of tamarind (depend how sour you want the soup is)
- 250 ml water
Additional Ingredients
- Cucumber
- Egg noodle, cooked
- Grinded dried shrimp (ebi) - optional
1. Grind the fish fillet. Then add ice water and salt. Mix them well.
2. Then gradually add all the flours into the fish mixture until it doesn't stick anymore and you can easily shape it. Then shape pempek as you wish (usually long and round). Then deep fry and set aside.
3. Make the soup (cuko): boil the water with tamarind and palm sugar until sugar is dissolved. Filter, and then add the garlic, chillies and salt. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes.
4. Serving: place the pempek in plate (you can cut into small pieces), add the noodle and then pour with the soup. Garnish with the cucumber. Some people like to add ebi (grinded dried shrimp).

"Dance when your heart is broken open. Dance when your spirit dives. Dance to the rhythms of life and let your heart soar." – Debra Moffitt
Dance can elevate a soul to the divine. When the Sufi mystic, Rumi walked through the market, he heard the jewelry makers hammering gold. Through the pounding, he heard the voice of God and the rhythmic sounds and energy moved him into a state of divine ecstasy. Rumi, always in love with God and seeing God in all things, began to dance. He whirled and spun in circles, moved by the rhythms of life.
Some cultures and religions discourage dance as an expression of Divine energy. But Rumi experienced his body as a true temple. A friend of mine also uses dance as a sort of divine therapy. Whenever she feels tense, down or simply needs to loosen up, she puts on her favorite music and moves around freely in her basement where no one will see or judge her. It's a joyous release. Dance can also be an expression of grief. A belly dancer who lost her son did a tribute through dance to the grief and sadness she felt at his departing. Her chorography moved the audience deeply, particularly since many of them knew of her personal tragedy.
Dance was also used by the Shakers, a hard-working, devout religious sect that sprang up in the 18th century. They were known for their passionate and ecstatic dances that were celebrations of the divine spirit. Because of their physical movements, they became known as the "shakers."
If you're inspired, find a quiet, private place, turn on your music and dance. Let your body sway and bounce freely. Imagine that you're dancing with God. What a fun partner!

The Day I Beat Death
In the blink of an eye, my life changed forever...
An endurance cyclist, I was about to have a date with destiny.
Nothing in life can prepare you for something so unexpected, so violent, so utterly obscene as being hit by a car.
I went from being a vibrant, alive, healthy and outgoing human being to someone who would later be labeled as "permanently disabled" by a leading neurologist in less time than it just took you to read this.
Two ticks of a clock.
3:45PM... My favorite band blasting in my MP3 player. Twenty-two miles under my belt. Sun on my face, smile in my heart. A true state of bliss.
3:47PM...IMPACT. In a millisecond, everything changed. I was airborne. The most surrealistic experience of my life. The best way to describe it: time "stretched". Though physics would only allow me a few seconds of Superman Flight, my mind's eye made it felt like a full 20 count. There was an odd peace in my spirit as I soared. Flying through the air, maybe living, maybe dying. I watched the road below, and marveled at the composite material. The glitter of mica and the way it sparkled made me think of Disney. I could not believe how long my flight lasted.
And I thought, "it's really gonna suck when I hit the ground."
Fate was kind and stole the memory of impact from me. Closer to the truth- I was knocked senseless.
Flashbulb/strobe light memories came next.
"Call 9-1-1. Call 9-1-1," screamed someone.
"Don't move."
I opened my eyes. Flat on my back, I was incapable of moving.
More screaming. "Has anyone called 9-1-1?"
I watched bystanders weep. I will be forever haunted by the woman standing by my feet, hand over mouth, tears streaming down her face.
As I lay there on the street, I wondered if this was the part of the movie where I would fade to gray and be gone from this life forever. The final act of my life. No encore, no hidden track. Just a fade to gray lying on Main Street. I felt the tears slide down my face and thought of Sarah.
"Call my wife. 205-xxxx. Call my wife. 205-xxxx. Call my wife. 205-xxxx"
I must have said this twenty or more times. Jim, an unknown passerby did just that.
The wail of an ambulance. Rescue vehicles. Lying on Main Street, maybe living, maybe dying.
Strapped to a body board by paramedics. I see nothing but the ceiling of the ambulance. IV's... One, then two needles. My veins accepting their destiny.
"What's your name?" "What day of the week is it?" "What city are you in?" I knew the drill. Making sure somebody was home. Just because my lights were on did not mean I was present.
Listening to the scissors as they cut my cycling clothes off, assessing my beaten and broken body. Not wanting to be outdone by the ambulance siren, I wailed too.
"We can give you something strong for pain. Something very strong..."
Wanting my wits about me, I declined heavy painkillers.
I was alive.
I bit my lip and settled into a bit of relief brought on by intravenous Advil.
The EMT's called ahead to the Trauma Unit and briefed them.
Finally heeding my constant calls to call Sarah, one the medics in the ambulance called her cell phone. And she followed the ambulance to the ER, her soul mate strapped to a body board in the ambulance in front of her.
Funny thing about being immobilized... you can only stare straight up. As they wheeled me into the trauma center, Sarah's face came into view.
Her eyes swollen. A forced smile on her lips.
"I love you bunny" she said, then, in a heartbeat, she was gone.
I mumbled... "and behold, the face of an angel looked down upon him..."
Somewhere, someone laughed.
# # #
My old life ended that day. Life as I knew it was about to be turned upside down. And my new life was about to begin.
A couple of weeks after my accident, the investigating officer let me know that my bike, heretofore impounded, could be picked up at our local police station. Still unable to drive, Sarah drove me over to pick up what was left of my bike. The investigating officer, only a few years older than one of my own sons, let me know that the family of the young man who hit me had been desperately trying to reach out to me.
This young man, not knowing what shape I was in, was completely devastated by the accident. Privacy laws prevented our local PD from releasing any information about my condition to his family. The officer politely asked if he could provide the drivers family with my phone number.
As a father of four sons, the "dad" in me kicked into high gear and I let him know that releasing my number would be fine. At the time, I expected nothing more than a possible conversation, and nothing more.
We came home from the police station that day to our phone ringing off the hook. It was the mother of the young man who hit me. We spoke for ten to fifteen minutes on the phone. Her son, rendered almost non-functional since the accident, was alternating between bouts of uncontrollable crying and what looked like depression, The family was on the cusp of getting him outside help.
And she asked if we could meet him.
Not thinking before I spoke, I asked her to put him on the line. It was purely an act of impulse and one that I do not regret to this day.
Here was another human being who was suffering. I held, at least in part, the key to emotional freedom for him. Being a dad with sons, my mind kept wondering what I would have said had this been one of my own sons.
I let him know that I was alive. That I would recover. And that they are called "accidents" for a reason. Trying to inject a bit of humor into the conversation, I said to him, "You are a lucky kid. Odds are that you will only hit one cyclist in your entire lifetime. Two important points to consider. At least you got it over with early in your driving career and, better still, you had the wherewithal to hit a nice guy."
He laughed and asked if we could meet.
His mom came back on the phone, we decided to meet a few days later at a bit of a neutral spot, the parking lot of our local high school.
My mindset before meeting the young man who forever changed my life was not one of nervousness. It's important again to reiterate that at the time of our meeting, I was blissfully unaware of my brain injury. Battered and beaten, bruised and sore, I was still most likely in shock as my body was just beginning the long, slow crawl toward what would become my new normal.
As I was still held hostage by an arm in a sling and a booted left foot, Sarah drove to the local High School for our meeting. Of all the high emotion events that followed my accident, meeting the driver of the car that struck me was, by far, the most emotionally charged.
We pulled into the high school parking lot. It was a quiet, albeit short ride from our house to the school. To this day, Sarah carries allot of anger toward him. I've never made her wrong for this, as we all have our paths to walk. We move forward through life not at a pace defined by others, rather, we come to grips with events that come to pass in or own time. I have no right to make my schedule hers. We all find our own truths.
We got out of our cars at close to the same time. It was still a struggle for me to move at that time, but I was out and on my feet... um... on my foot, in no time.
We stood there, face-to-face, eye-to-eye for a few seconds in a bit of stunned silence. He was a young man tormented for weeks about the fate of someone he had yet to meet. There I stood, high emotion right under the surface, looking at the one whose actions caused so much pain, so much strife, so much anguish.
And the clock ticked for a few more seconds as we sized each other up.
What I recall most clearly is the sense of innocence he projected. No arrogant demeanor, no punk attitude. In front of me stood a young man who was clearly hurting, who had experienced sleepless nights and tormented days, not knowing whether I was capable of walking, of talking, of carrying on even the most basic of life's functions.
His red-rimmed eyes stared up at me, almost hauntingly. I did and said what any dad would do.
"Come here and let me give you a hug."
In hindsight, it was the most apropos thing I could have said. I offered a heartfelt, though one-armed hug, and the conversation opened up. As noted already, being a dad of four sons offered me what amounted to the best "on the job training" I could ever have hoped for. I was presented with what amounts to a very unique and God-given opportunity. I looked him in the eye and let him know that in no uncertain terms, everything was going to be fine.
Time is a funny thing. With the passage of time, new perspectives are gained, new insights emerge. I have often thought what I might have said to this young man had I known the extent of my brain injury at the time we met. How would I have reacted had I known that the very course of the rest of my life was changed the day of my accident? That I was to have struggles unimagined.
Truth be told, had I knowledge of what was going to come to pass, my actions that day would not have changed. Somebody much wiser than me said once that resentments are like wanting someone else to die, but you take the poison. To this day, I wish nothing but happiness and peace to him.
Life happens. Accidents happen. And life invariably does go on.
We stayed in the parking lot for close to half an hour. Sarah and I, the young man and his mom, talking under a waning winter sun. His mom asked if it was OK to stay in touch. They even made our Christmas card list that year. Though 2011 would bring unforeseen and difficult challenges, I was grateful simply to be alive. Not every cyclist lives after meeting metal at close to 40 MPH.
Sarah and I got into the car to head home. The young man came bearing chocolates, flowers and other sundry treats that helped soften my heart. Those who know me know that I have a vicious love of all things sweet. Though my life is much different today, chocolate still resides quite high my list of all time favorites.
The short ride home was a bit on the quiet side. Sarah was lost in her thoughts while I was grateful to be part of helping this young man let go of something that he might of carried for a lifetime. I don't think about him often anymore. Our paths converged the day of the accident and diverged the day after our meeting. He made a cameo appearance ealier this year as I, quite unexpectedly, saw him graduate from our local High School.
My hope is that he doesn't thinks about me often as well, as odd as that sounds. He is a young man with a full life ahead of him. A life brimming with promise, opportunity and unfulfilled dreams. As time passes, my normal life seems like a distant dream. To spend too much time looking backwards is to slow my progress moving forward.
Each year, the CDC estimates 1.7 million people sustain a Traumatic Brain Injury. Brain injury. Brain Injury is now America's Silent Epidemic.
You have just met a brain injury survivor.

This seems to be a translation of Dudjom Lingpa's description of the rainbow body, I skipped through most of the site because it was giving togal instruction publicly but this portion is relevant:At the time of attaining the fourth vision, the yogin reaches the Rainbow Body ('ja' lus) of which four modalities are described in the texts: 1. the Body of the Great Transfer ('pho ba chen po), 2. the Great Rainbow Body ('ja' lus chen po), 3. the Small Transfer ('pho ba chung ngu) and 4. the Small Rainbow Body ('ja' lus chung ngu).
The Small Transference (atomic body) actually is not a "rainbow body" although rainbows may manifest when it happens.Those having superior faculties are liberated as a great transference embodiment, extending infinitely into the all-pervasive dharmakaya, like water merging with water, or space merging with space. Those having medium faculties attain buddhahood as a great rainbow body, like a rainbow vanishing into the sky. When the ground clear light arises, for those having inferior faculties the colors of the rainbow spread forth from the absolute nature, and their material bodies decrease in size until finally they vanish as rainbow bodies, leaving not even a trace of their aggregates behind. That is called the small rainbow body. When the ground clear light arises, the material bodies of some people decrease in size for up to seven days, then finally only the residue of their hair and nails is left behind. The dissolution of the body into minute particles is called the small transference. For those of superior faculties this dissolution of the body into minute particles may occur even during the Breakthrough.
Jyoti, just curious, have you actually received transmission of togal teachings?

My scoodies
Added Feb 8, 2013
by Luciac
Montevideo, Uruguay
I made a scoodie for myself a couple of years ago, and people loved it. So I decided to sew a few of them to sell, and I sold all of them on day one. Last winter I made more scoodies, I chose only three pictures, because the only thing that varies is the fabric. I always tried to use one printed fabric with one plain fabric, this way you can use the "fun" part one day, and the sober part the next day.
It's really simple to do the pattern yourself, just pick any hood pattern that you like, and then add two rectangles that will form the scarf. The sewing part is also very simple, first thing you should do is sew each hood that you have, and then sew the right sides together. After that sew each pair of rectangles, and attach them to the hood by placing it in the middle of the scarves. Sew all the borders and leave a little cms. to turn the scoodie around. To finish them I sew the open part by hand. As I said in other projects I'm from an Spanish speaking country, so I hope that what I wrote is easy to understand.
Hope you like them as much as I do.

Egypt recalls its ambassador to Turkey
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Foreign Ministry says it has recalled its ambassador to Turkey for talks, the latest sign of worsening relations between the two countries following the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi and the crackdown on his supporters.
The short statement Thursday by the ministry did not elaborate.
The move comes shortly after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the West of ignoring bloodshed in Egypt and called on the U.N. Security Council to meet urgently to discuss the situation, where around 640 people have died in violence over the past two days.
Turkey's ambassador to Cairo has been summoned for consultations by Egypt's Foreign Ministry recently over Turkish criticisms of Morsi's July 3 ouster.
Relations were warm under Morsi, like Erdogan an Islamist.

Monster Garage star Jesse James gave a teary interview on Tuesday to apologize to the world for cheating on America's Fun Aunt, actress Sandra Bullock. We also learned he's not a sex addict—"at least in the traditional sense."
Nightline scored the Jesse James apology interview, which aired on Tuesday night. James was upfront and apologetic, calling himself "the world's most hated man," which is probably not true, unless I am really out of touch with the world. He said he wanted to give the interview mostly because of the whole thing with photos of him giving a Nazi salute:
"It makes me really sad seeing the photo and the way I look. I don't even remember taking the photo. But it was just—I can tell by the look on my face it was a joke. That was funny then, probably for a minute. But then looking at it in the context of now and my life, it's not funny"
Just, FYI, to everyone: There is almost no "context" where "pretending to be a Nazi" is funny! Especially not when you are banging a girl with a "White Power" tattoo.
More soberingly, James said that his repeated infidelities were the product of an abusive childhood that left him with abandonment issues:
"I grew up with a huge amount of shame and fear and abandonment on my shoulders from a very young age and I think, you know, the way my mind rationalized [cheating], 'Well, you know, I might as well do whatever I can to like run her off cause she is going to find out what I am anyway and leave me anyway,'"
Apparently needing a break, James checked into rehab in March. He says he's not actually a sex addict, though:
"I don't think I have a sex addiction where I'm running around trying to have sex with everyone and I can't stop... I think I do things to sabotage my life, including having extramarital affairs, texting, overworking myself, injuring myself, doing stunts and stupid things. I think I do a lot of things in my life that I shouldn't be doing that aren't conducive to being a perfect husband, you know, and the affairs are just one of them."
So there you have it: Not a Nazi, not a sex addict, just a guy with some issues making regrettable decisions.

Missouri Online Graduate Certificates in Fine Arts and Design
Fine Arts and Design Online Graduate Certificates could enable at-work students to conveniently deepen artistic skills and develop professionally. Through a few, highly focused courses, graduates could earn a stand-on-its own credential to refresh a resume and portfolio. Or, use the earned credits and extra knowledge to prepare for a future Masters or MFA degree program.
Types of Fine Arts and Design Online Graduate Certificates
Fine Arts and Design Online Graduate Certificates span traditional and contemporary modalities. Disciplines in the Fine Arts include painting, sculpture, architecture, music and performance arts, though the latter are not often available online.
Students could also look for online certificate programs that bridge art with digital technology. These might provide instruction in design software to enable participants to advance their technical proficiency.
Apart from technique, some course content may be devoted to theory. Students may work on independent projects or written assignments which may be assessed. These requirements could allow students to build graduate-level skills. For instance, an ability to conduct research, think critically, problem solve and use heightened creativity across a full spectrum of interactive media.
The number of visual and performing arts graduates in the workforce has been growing at a rate of 5.13% from 1.82M in 2014 to 1.91M in 2015.i
Fashion, Retail and Merchandising Online Certificate Programs
Online fashion certificate programs could delve into basic business practices in the context of fashion and design. Potential topics of study could include consumer behavior and fashion merchandising. A course in textiles might discuss key design and manufacture components of textile, apparel and accessories.
Fine Art Online Certificate Programs
An online graduate
certificate in fine art could encourage students to develop their skills and experience in drawing, painting and design. Participants might gain new visual arts techniques through concepts such as line, mass, form, perspective, value, color theory, and composition.
Graphic Design and Multimedia Online Certificate Programs
An online graphic design certificate could focus on courses in software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Students might discover new techniques for creating digital images, illustrations, and layouts. As well, some of the fundamental concepts in color, typography, and composition could be explored.
Industrial Design Online Certificate Programs
An online industrial design certificate could have participants study the intersection of culture, technology, and business. Students might learn about product development and how to manage a supply chain.
Interior Design Online Certificate Programs
An online interior design certificate could cover essentials of space planning, color theory and drafting. Students might tailor their studies with a course on residential interiors, antiques connoisseurship or one- and two-point perspective drawing.
Media Arts Online Graduate Certificate Programs
An online graduate certificate in media arts could meld art with innovation and digital technology. For instance, students might take a focused course plan in desktop publishing to build a portfolio of computer graphics for digital media platforms.
Museum Studies Online Graduate Certificate Programs
An online museum studies certificate may add expertise onto a Master of Arts in Museum Studies degree program or one that is similar. In addition to coursework, students may be required to undertake a customized internship and a supervised research paper.
Coursework could be highly focused, as in the case of an online digital curation certificate. In this type of program, students might learn specifics about digital preservation and digital curation practices such as metadata schemas. Practical issues involved in long-term management of digital assets might cover topics such as workflow and strategy.
Photography Online Graduate Certificate Programs
An online photography certificate could provide a basic foundation in the visual language of photography. Students might also learn how to use equipment, software, and production techniques essential for work in the photographic industry. Other certificates might cover digital photography, which could suit the seasoned photographer interested in modern methods.
Web Design and Development Online Graduate Certificate Programs
An online web design certificate might help students refine skills in the fields of digital design, user-experience design, interactive media and more. Coursework could target areas such as web and mobile application design and development, marketing, advertising and computer application design.
Why Earn a Fine Arts and Design Certificate Online?
Students enrolled in Fine Arts and Design Online Graduate Certificates might learn through a blend of web demonstrations and/or screen sharing. Today's learning platforms often allow participants to post their work, critique others, communicate with the professor and engage in discussions.
Convenient Coursework
As with campus students, distance learners may need to take note of class schedules and register in advance where appropriate. An online course may be offered during a specific period although it may be asynchronous – log in any time but meet deadlines for projects.
Flexible for At-Work Students
This dynamic format may appeal to students who have access to their own studio, are at-work professionals or just live too far to commute. Online students also be able to complete any internship requirements nearby with minimum disruption to an otherwise busy life. Naturally, this is up to the discretion of the school and program coordinator.
Time Line to Completion
The time it takes to complete a graduate certificate in fine arts and design online varies. Some programs involve more courses or students may choose to study part-time instead of full time. That stated, a full-time student might be able to complete a certificate in one year or even less, and schools may give up to two years for those who need extra time. For more details, contact schools and review options.
Admission Information
Each school defines their standards and processes for admission, though it is not uncommon for an applicant to apply to the graduate school directly. The checklist is usually posted on online certificate programs' description page.
A minimum Bachelors degree is required for post-baccalaureate certificates. However, for advanced certificates applicants may need to have a graduate degree or be enrolled in a related Masters program. Apart from transcripts and a school-set minimum GPA (E.g. 2.75 to 3.0), applicants may need to submit other material.

Accenture analysis of State Health Innovation Plans (SHIPs) reveals that they show early momentum around the next generation of health and human services convergence—if states can effectively implement and scale their strategies.
Collectively, SHIPs represent the current state view on the art of the possible in reinventing care delivery. Analysis of the plans shows that states envision coordinated, collaborative and cost-effective health and human services models that are much different from "the system" as it is today.
SHIPs emphasize the need to address influences beyond healthcare—behavioral and social dimensions—to improve health outcomes. The vision is for an ecosystem for health and human services convergence. How are states communicating this vision and what strategies are they developing today to make it a reality?

It is considered a known fact that home ownership is a part of the American dream. But don't for one second think that home ownership is all sunshine, rainbows, and ice cream sandwiches. There are serious trade-offs that you should know, understand, and accept before signing on the dotted line.
1. Mortgage debt -- a marriage you can't divorce
According to the Census Bureau, the average home price in 2010 was $272,900. A traditional mortgage will finance 80% of that, or just over $218,000. The Census Bureau also reported that median household income in the U.S. was just over $51,000.
Are you comfortable owing over four times your total gross income (before taxes)?
You may be thinking, "But if I don't buy a house, I'm throwing away my money to a landlord with rent!"
Would you rather be "throwing away" your money to a landlord, or to a bank? Because if you bought that $272,000 average American house with a $218,000 loan at 5% for 30 years, you'd pay over $52,000 in interest to your bank of choice over the first five years alone!
Before the house was paid in full, you will have paid that bank over $203,000 dollars -- in interest alone!
2. When you own the house, you pay for the maintenance and repairs
Landlords get a bad rap. A respectable, professional landlord can make life orders of magnitude easier. They are your on-call repairman, plumber, hardware store, and lawn maintenance company.
Air conditioner compressor breaks on the hottest summer day? Landlord will take care of it. Snow storm knocks a large branch into the yard? Landlord will take care of it. Bathroom drain cloggs? Landloard will take care of it.
Nothing like a surprise $5,000 expense (with interest) to ruin those summer barbecue plans.
3. How long did it take to save up that down payment?
In our "average American" example, our potential homebuyer would have to put down a payment of $54,000 to qualify for the traditional mortgage. After closing costs and miscellaneous expenses, let's call this a round $60,000 just to purchase the home and get a loan approval.
That means that in truth, this buyer needs a decent bit more than $60,000, though. The bank will not make a loan for a borrower who is putting 100% of their liquid assets into the home. Banks like back-up plans, and without some cash cushion, there is no real back-up plan.
So now, our typical American, must save somewhere in the neighborhood of 150% of their annual income to comfortably afford the down payment.
It may make more sense to take that $60k to $75k savings and invest in a target date fund, or an index fund. Those investments are liquid, they can be rebalanced, they don't require property taxes, and their toilets won't overflow, forcing you to pay a plumber to come out on a holiday.
4. Buying a home is not an investment
This final point will be hard to swallow. Buying a home is not buying an investment. It's buying a highly leveraged forced-savings account.
According to data from Freddie Mac, the inflation adjusted return for an investment in a home bought in 1970 is just over 27% through the second quarter of this year. That's a 27% return over a 43-year holding period!
If buying a home isn't an investment, then what is it?
It's a forced savings account. Along with that healthy dose of interest that goes to the bank every month is also a sliver of principal pay-down. Over 10 to 20 years, those principal payments can add up to a good bit of equity. So for those individuals who have trouble putting money aside in savings every month, this is an attractive feature.
But the point is, don't buy a house thinking it is a panacea for financial woe. If you want to maximize your investments, look elsewhere. If you want real estate exposure, consider a REIT. Don't be fooled into thinking that buying a home is a one-way ticket to the good life.
If you are still sure you want to join the ranks of homeowners, go for it. Your decision is thoughtfully considered, you've done the research into the upsides and the downsides, and you're making your own decision.
Personal finance and managing money is as much or more art than it is science. There is never a single right answer that applies across the board. We must all consider the risks, the rewards, and our own personal situations, and then act thoughtfully.
