Friendster To Delete All Data- Just Letting You Know
Does anyone remember Friendster? Better yet, does anyone still have a Friendster account? Deemed "the social network pioneer", Friendster began in 2002- and that's pretty much it. It began in 2002.
For some reason, Friendster was just a tad too early to enjoy what would become a social media boom- then again, MySpace hasn't really fared any better. It has been the subject of nigh infinite malign ever since its inception- including one my favorites by the Onion- which will now be just as outdated as its subject:
Internet Archaeologists Find Ruins Of 'Friendster' Civilization
Evidently Friendster hasn't been doing that badly, as it managed to raise almost $50 million in venture capital and was subsequently acquired by a Malaysian firm, MOL Global for possibly $40 million in 2009.
Much like MySpace, Friendster is repositioning as an "entertainment and news site" (I wonder if at some point there's going to be some kind of internet elephant graveyard for social-networks-turned-entertainment-news...

Facebook World's Largest Bank By 2015?
Though social network Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg may have inadvertently sold half of his company to some rando from upstate New York, another rando is saying it won't matter because Facebook has the capability to become the world's largest bank by 2015.
This guy, Ken Rutkowski, evidently both founder of Metal International and chief dude at the Founder institute in Los Angeles, believes that in a few short years Facebook will have amassed enough financial credibility so as to calculate the credibility of consumers. Rutkowski told TechWorld:
If you play games on Facebook, which, by the way 40 to 50 per cent of the time spent on Facebook is playing games, and those games - like Farmville and Mafia Wars - are paid for and you have to buy credits for that and they are called Facebook Credits.
Rutkowski's logic is as follows: he claims that 40%-50% of people play games on Facebook, and that playing those games requires in-game purchases (they're not actually required, but it's easier to play them if you buy virtual goods), and....well, it gets kind of fuzzy after that. He goes on to claim that China and the rest of Asia already use Facebook as a massive revenue source...

Social Startup GetGlue Hits 1 Million Users Since June
In a press release today, social service GetGlue reported that as of March 2011 they have accrued 1 million users.
GetGlue is a social service that allows users to check-in to films, television shows, books, music, sports games, etc.; it's like the Foursquare of...pretty much everything. They then use your check-ins and likes to tabulate stats and data to better recommend other pop culture for you to consume (sidenote: as much as this seems helpful, algorithms and similar services like Netflix and even the Facebook suggestions are generally redundant- big @#$%ing surprise, I liked SNL and now you're recommending that I would enjoy 30 Rock, which features at least 50% former SNL cast members. Thanks, supersmart algorithm).
You know how Foursquare has digital badges? Well GetGlue gives you physical, touchable, and stickable badges based on your commitment to the things you like and check-in to. Incredibly, this service has managed to take advantage of what everyone else is trying to eleiminate (including Netflix): Snail Mail. They just mail the stickers to you. Wow. Good for you, GetGlue.

Twitter Gets A Makeover, Sells Out
Twitter has a brand new home page. As you can see, popular accounts populate the row of profile pictures in the center of the page, and they've rearranged their sign-up interface to be a little more accessible. A map now extends from left-to-right in the background, and the search bar is clearly visible. Not a huge fan, Twitter. I liked your blue & yellow theme better. Now you look like a consulting firm or a bank.
Not like I ever look at the home page though- I use browsers with cookies. Mmmmm.

April Fools: LinkedIn Offers Connections To Dead Guys

All of the Likes/Lights: redpepper Builds Lego "Like" Light
redpepper Labs made a physical incarnation of the famous Facebook "Like" icon out of everyone's favorite creative architectural compound: Legos.
Matt Reed of redpepper wrote on his post,
So, what if I built a Facebook Like button out of Legos? What if I made it light up every time someone liked redpepper's Facebook page? Is that even possible? Yes.
Using the recently released Facebook Graphs API that returns requests for "Like" info and the O-S physical computing hardware Arduino, Reed slapped some bricks together and wrote a script with the intention of having the Lego sculpture light up each time someone liked the RedPepper Facebook Fan Page.
That didn't work out that well, so Reed set it to Lil' Wayne's Facebook Fan Page.
That worked considerably better.
Don't forget to check out the video of the creation of the object, with a sick "pixellated" remix of Kanye West's "All of the Lights".
Foursquare evolves, peers at Facebook waiting for their next move
It's SXSW time and with it comes some changes to social networking giant, Foursquare. Foursquare have started rolling out the changes ahead of the official start of the event on the 11th.
The changes are somewhat different to what you'd expect and creates an evolving step toward something exciting for Foursquare. Version 3.0 brings a bunch of changes which are listed below. I'm sure Facebook won't be far behind this, Zuckerberg's fist must be shaking in the wind right about now.

Facebook has 149 million active users in the US alone, 70 percent log in daily
Facebook's head of U.S. agency relations Sarah Personette revealed a joint event held by Obilvy and Buddy Media a bunch of statistics on global usage for Facebook. According to Facebook, they have 149 million Americans actively using the site with 70-percent of those users logging in daily.
Personette also revealed that France has 22 million active users with 65-percent returning daily, the UK has 29 million active users and Canada fills it's void with 19 million active users. From the picture above, we can see that my home country Australia has 10 million active users with 66-percent returning daily. Not bad at all, Facebook. Poke.
Facebook finds a new home
The crew of Facebook is celebrating the social networking site's seventh birthday and it looks like they've gotten themselves a major present. It looks like they're moving from their current digs in Palo Alto, CA into the former home of Sun Microsystems in San Mateo, CA.
The current Palo Alto headquarters is nearing 2,000 employees which apparently has the current campus bursting at the seams and ready for expansion. The former Sun Microsystems property fits the bill, since they left the property after being acquired by Oracle. A press conference has been scheduled for February 8th to make the official announcement and give more information about the future of Facebook.
Kenneth Cole teaches us all how not to use Twitter for advertising
The eyes of the entire world have been glued to the troubles plaguing Egypt and its people. Apparently Kenneth Cole thought that using this current event to advertise their new spring collection was a great idea. He released the following tweet, which has since been removed but not before the Twitter world went into an uproar:
Yeah Kenneth Cole, definitely too soon. Apparently the tweet cannot be blamed on an employee with bad taste because the tweet was signed with the -KC of Kenneth Cole himself. Thousands of angrys responses have since hit the Twitter universe. He has since posted an apology on both Twitter and Facebook, but this is just one more instance to learn from for the rest of us. Remember kids, think before you tweet. The Internet always remembers.

Megan Fox: Pregnant with First Child!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It's official: Brian Austin Green has seen Megan Fox nude at least once.
That's because a rep for the actress has confirmed to E! News a rumor that got started last last month: Fox is expecting her first child!
Fox and Green got married in 2010, following years of a roller coaster relationship. They've remained steady, happy and mostly out of the spotlight ever since.
The pregnancy rumor first surfaced in March, but the couple remained mum ever since. No word yet on when Fox is due or the gender of her baby.
The timing coincides with the beauty's most recent professional project, interestingly: she most recently starred in a film titled Friends with Kids.
She's also acted as a part-time mother to Green's 10-year old son with ex Vanessa Marcil. We send our very best wishes to the couple!
You should know **wealthybuddies** plus **com**
millionaire dateing !SERIOUS SITE!
Congrats to the Mommy, Daddy & big brother-to-be! Here comes the most wonderful miracle ever, a baby is the most precious gift you will ever receive.
Best wishes to your family....Mother Mary
Heard her talking about getting her marylin. Monroe tattoo off her forearm and how painful it is. It takes a while to cover them up for the movies. Congrads on the baby u deserve it. You have a great bod.
@ Lolita 1938 I couldn't have said it any better. She respects herself and keeps out of the spotlight not trying to b center of attention. & I'm VERY sure she won't go on magazines showing her baby bump. May God bless her and the people she love:)
the one thing i've always admired her for was she was not the kind to jump in and out of bed with this man and that man. She did not let herself get passed around,she's been with her husband for quite a few years before they were married. congradulations on your pregnancy and for being the woman that you are for being true to yourself.
congratulations :)
Wish you be
good mother!!
WhaT a beautiful baby it will be! Congratulations!
I wishes Ms. Fox the best of luck with new baby.

Nepal Haze is a new non stable hybrid. It results from pollinating ACE's best highland nepalese mothers with a Green Haze male.
The main and most frequent expression of this hybrid is a more vigorous and high yielding
version of nepalese highland: fast flowering sativas with excellent adaptability, generous yield and clean and euphoric effect.
There's a recessive phenotype, less usual, with a strong haze influence, that tends to grow bigger and requires longer flowering times and warmer environment.
Nepalese expression has a medium size and is easy to grow. Haze influenced plants grow taller and branchy, with more thin leaflets.
Nepalese influenced plants have a lovely strawberry chewing gum aroma. Haze pheno smells woody and spicy, classic haze aroma.
Pleasant, clean and stimulating.

Heirloom Tomatoes
In my local supermarket they have a big display of amazingly colorful heirloom tomatoes. I keep hearing about how good they are but have never tried one.
My questions are: is this a good time of year to buy them, or will I be getting substandard ones? (I live in North Texas)
Any recipe ideas? Is it best to keep preparation to a minimum and just have them in a simple salad?
Are they worth the fuss in general - will I notice the difference from a standard tomato?
Thanks in advance
Well, our Los Angeles farmers' markets are now out of heirlooms, so I don't know where they are growing them. Heirlooms are just wonderful simply prepared, with EVOO and good vinegar. During their best time of year, they taste like the essence of tomato, without a hint of the mushy cardboard-ness of store tomatoes. Looks don't seem to matter.
realize what heirloom tomato means - it just means a variety of tomato that is not mainstream. kind of like saying is "indi" music good? Indi just means that its NOT mainstream, yknow? so, you can treat an heirloom just like you would treat any other tomato. i would say slice it raw and serve with fresh buffalo mozz and a little basil (or any other mild green) all drizzled well with olive oil. extra virgin.
re: ben61820
Heirloom means it is an old-time variety from saved seed stock before Monsanto, ADM and the rest got there grubby little paws on seeds and started messing around with the genes. Heirlooms are generally regarded as better tasting as they are not bred to withstand 2000 miles of shipment. I would be very wary of buying heirlooms in a supermarket as they can be much harder to grow....seeing them in a supermarket in February makes me think the heirloom designation is a bit of a gimmick. Tomato season, in general (as another poster mentioned), is June to September. Get a good canned variety in February.
re: gourmanda
You shoiuld learn the differences among heirloom designation, F1 hybrid and GM tomatoes, specifically which are used for commercial growing and which non-heirloom are used for home gardening or small scale farming.
Not all gardeners and small farmers regard the heirlooms as the best tasting. Most have their own particular favorites, not all of which are heirlooms. I prefer several non-determinate varieties which I've grown for years.
re: MakingSense
Yes, there are *plenty* of heirloom tomatoes that are inferior to hybrids in terms of taste. Some I like, and I grow again, but many are underwhelming. "Heirloom" is a marketing designation designed to beguile people into losing critical faculties.
re: Karl S
Actually there was a time when "heirloom" varieties meant something specific and was not just a marketing designation as it is now. apparently any odd looking tomato is now an "heirloom" tomato. Originally it was a term that covered open pollinated varieties (not just tomato btw) that had been around for a while. Some people used a cutoff of 50 years old and up, others used the 100 year mark etc.
The heirloom designation has nothing to do with taste just age.
There are actually a lot of old hybrid tomato varieties that are still popular and I see them designated as heirloom varieties sometimes. In a way I can understand the heirloom designation actually.
I've had some wonderfully flavourful heirloom tomatoes, but I've also had some duds. My guess is that the more prevalent they become, the greater the likelihood of their having been grown in unfavourable conditions, and by more and more mass-market producers.
Probably our best bet is to buy them at farmer's markets, where we can question their origins. At the prices charged here in Toronto for heirloom tomatoes, it's quite irritating to bite into a mealy, flavourless batch.
Why not wait until summertime, when you will be a lot more likely to get a good one? Go to the farmers market, try the samples, talk to the farmers/patrons around you.
The wait will be worth it, tomatoes in February are not.
re: FlavoursGal
Agreed, we grew up on Early Girls warm from the garden, they rivaled any heirloom.
In season and grown/stored with care is key.
re: Den
There are several old threads on heirloom vs. nonheirloom tomatoes on CH, and I've got to weigh in on the side of well-ripened as the determining factor in taste. Grown side by side in my garden, many of the heirloom open pollinated varieties (like cherokee purple, german striped, etc) taste no better than ther more recent hybrids (like celebrity & beefmaster). An out of season tomato, poorly handled, will taste bad no matter what. Of course, if you can find hothouse tomatoes grown at a relatively high temp, they're pretty good, even in winter.
In order to get a superior tomato it needs to be in season. Tomatoe season can run @ june to september in the states. If you purchase fruit that has spent enough time on the vine to mature and ripen it will be a very worthwhile piece of fruit.
At this time of year you will pay a premium price for inferior tomatoes.
I'm a big fan of heirloom tomatoes. My view is that, first off, the variety of colors make them a fun produce to create a dish with. Second, because there are so many varieties of heirlooms, you're going to have to test which ones are your favorites. And finally, like any other tomatoes, they're best during the summer when it's peak tomato-growing season. Tomatoes are always best ripe from the vine, so if you don't get them at farmers markets, then they're probably picked early for shipping, even if they're called heirlooms.
When heirlooms are in season in the Bay Area (summer and late summer), I usually make a rosemary-infused risotto and then just place slices of heirloom tomates on top with parmesan cheese. But like others have mentioned, I also like to just eat them fresh in slices. What I do is sprinkle it with sea salt or some other specialty coarse salt, and add a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese. It's just fantastic!
The only variety of winter tomatoes that I've found which have decent flavor and texture are cherry or grape tomatoes -- the larger tomatoes, whether heirloom or not, always have less flavor and bad texture in my experience -- save them for summer when you can get them locally grown and in season. In the past couple of weeks, I've been buying the cherry tomatoes that come on the vine and are wrapped in netting (they carry them at Gelson's for those who live in Los Angeles), and they've been surpisingly decent in salads. For cooking I always use canned in the winter.
No, they are not in season anywhere in US. Wait to try them until they are in season this summer.
When they are in season, try to get a green zebra I think it's called. It's green in color with yellowish stripes when ripe. They are delicious. I had them for the first time this summer and can't wait for July!
Great article from the Washington Post on the UglyRipe tomato, derived from the French heirloom Marmonde, and grown in Florida. It's popular in US markets, selling for about $4/lb but had problems with regulations until the grower hired a bunch of lobbyists to get it through the maze of government regulations. All for a good heirloom tomato in winter...
re: MakingSense
the article incorrectly spelled the french variety "Marmande". I've heard from the grapevine that there's very little difference between one of the strains of the original Marmande variety and this so-called UglyRipe tomato.
what's interesting is this is the same company that marketed that grape tomato "santa" that was all the rage. they have a really good marketing program, that's for sure.
re: choctastic
I wondered about UglyRipe being a true Heirloom since the company apparently crossed the Marmande with some other varieties. Does that make it a hybrid? This is all so confusing. I haven't tasted UglyRipe as I am leary of winter tomatoes in general.
That little Santa is good however. It's a true miniature tomato, not a cherry variety and the difference in taste is amazing. Not as good as Sweet 100 in the middle of summer but in February, I'll take it.
re: MakingSense
supposedly that would make it a hybrid. However, that grape tomato i mentioned is well known to be quite stable so it's quite possible in my mind that this UglyRipe is no hybrid at all but just another strain of Marmande, (with a really good marketing team). In fact, UglyRipe is a dead ringer for Marmande in the looks category. I dunno about taste since I haven't had UglyRipe (but I've had Marmande, decent tomato)
i've had the grape tomato (santa sweets) that this company sells and i've had other grape tomatoes. to be honest, i can't really tell much of a difference except there were certain varieties that had really tough skins (didn't like those). i know there are people who save seeds from the santa sweets and grow them in their gardens.
except for grape and cherry tomatoes, i never buy tomatoes out of season, no matter what they're labelled. wait till summer, and go to a farmer's market. this time of year, whatever you're getting is a variety grown to best withstand the stress of shipping, rather than maximum flavor.
re: hotoynoodle
This time of year, the best bet (at least for eating raw, not for cooking) are the tomatoes that go under the names of Tasty Tom or Campari and the like. They have a genuine tomato flavor - at least as much as many run of the mill tomatoes in the summer (not every tomato in the summer is superlative, lest we forget).
re: Karl S
i'm not sure where you are, but i've never seen those in boston supermarkets.
re: hotoynoodle
Campari brand tomatoes are carried by Stop & Shop; the analogue at Shaw's is Amore (IIRC). Tasty Tom's are sold at Wilson Farm in East Lexington and Russo's in Watertown.
I don't know if they're in season, but if you buy them and are at a loss what to do with them...
I buy a big batch every year and make a bruschetta. I make sure I get heirlooms from across the entire spectrum. Green, pink, striped, purply black, orange, yellow, etc... I chop them up into reasonably small pieces, get rid of seeds and excess juice. Add good EVOO, some minced garlic, and fresh basil. A touch of balsamic vinegar, too. I get good crusty bread for the rounds and broil the slices lightly with butter and an italian cheese (parm, asiago, whatever).
Everyone seems to love it because it is so pretty with all the colors and because each bite has such a distinctive flavor depending on what types of the tomatoes you get in it. Truth be told though, I love bruschetta best in hot weather--the juicyness of the tomatoes is very refreshing.
re: Heatherb
Thank you all for your advice. I am not from the States so I was not sure what the true tomato season is! I will wait till summer when I am sure I will enjoy Heatherb's delicious sounding idea for bruschetta ... yum.
Heirloom tomatoes reminds you that the tomato is a fruit. For me, a good heirloom needs no adornment. I cut them up and eat them as is. I like buying several varieties so I can enjoy all the delicious differences. But I'll only buy them from farmers markets, never from the supermarket.
In L.A. Heirlooms were called uglies until some marketing genius re named them. That said, however, the heirlooms here are fabulous. They are only available a few months out of the year. (The popularity of heirlooms has made some farmers market vendors and some local produce stands re-think tomatoes. This year I was able to find beefsteaks that tasted like beefsteaks as opposed to the inside of an old wallet) They are very fragile, you need to eat them within a day or 2 3 at the most of picking. They rot really fast. They are great just plain with a little kosher salt. Eat it like an apple. sliced on sandwiches, with oil and vinegar. The dark purple ones are delish over vanilla ice cream with a balsamic reduction.

MUTV gave Reds followers the chance to put their questions to Darren Fletcher recently. Here are the midfielder's answers...
What have you learned from playing alongside Paul Scholes?
I learn something from Scholesy every day in training and I still think he's the best midfielder in the Premier League. His range of passing, his touch, his vision and his control are just fantastic. I also admire the way he conducts himself off the pitch; he keeps a low profile and is very much a family man.
Did you have any hestitation when you were offered a new contract?
Not at all. To know that you're wanted at Manchester United by the club and the manager for another few years is a great feeling. It's the best place to play football and as long as you're getting your fair share of games and feeling as if you're playing your part, then it's great.
How do you relax away from football?
I just spend as much time as I can with my family and friends and generally try and get as much rest as possible. We have a very hectic schedule at United with mid-week and weekend games so everything you do is geared towards getting yourself prepared for each match.

I went on the Fabric/Project Diet for the first 6 months, and only started one completely new project - although it had been on the radar as a bundle of fabrics for a while, so I figured it didn't quite count as being entirely new. But 6 months was the most I could handle of nothing new... so I'm now somewhere in between. Not constrained by a limit, but also not starting new things willy nilly.

Many unanswered posts with comments that you have to have the version number, PHP version etc before they will answer. Thats not a problem for me, but I do know that some people are lost at this point.
Ive seen people so desperate that they offer cash for help. This is the only extension I have come across that seems desperate for help. I suppose that some (like me) use our sites as income, means that we are at the mercy off those that can assist.
I also suggest you view the admin area before taking the plunge. It looks ancient in design and style so some guesswork is needed.
I took there advice an voted for them... If they didnt treat users like dumb animals, it wouldnt be so bad.
"Forum posts asking for help are replied with links to previous issues". A lot people dont search first, they directly start a thread with their question. The idea of a forum is that we answer one time and it helps 1000s people. But it does not really help, when 100s of these 1000 people create their own topic. So we just connect these topics.
It is often impossible to help without knowing the Version`number. Very often people claim a bug which is fixed since months. We start to search again to find out that the user has an outdated version.
Why should another enduser/volunteer help, if the person questioning does not provide the basics.
If someone shows that he is not reflecting his behaviour, it is very likely he did not read the manual and is too lazy to invest 10 minutes reading. Why the community should invest in this selfish person the 10 minutes? Why? The person does not even invest himself the 10 minutes, why the community should do it for him? Would you do it?
It seems you do not recognise that you was part of the community. How many questions did you answer?

Why Colleen and Mike chose Bellaire / Shanty Creek
We looked in several areas across Northern Michigan, but none offered the four season amenities that Shanty Creek had to offer. We are an active family and this Resort has something for everyone. Once we saw the private Beach Club on Lake Bellaire, we were hooked!
This beautiful chalet offers plenty of room for our large family to spread out and the location directly on the Summit Golf Course with those beautiful views is simply incredible. We love to cross country ski and with miles of cross country ski trails right out our back door we couldn't pass it up.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This place is really lovely and fully equipped. We have never rented a home where there was not something that we could have used that was not supplied. This kitchen has everything you would need. The decor is lovely. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us. Upper level has the bedrooms we needed, and the lower level was perfect for the "boys." Our room on the main floor had a very comfortable king bed and a separate dressing area and bath. This home is truly a wonderful place to stay. Oh, and the gas grill makes cooking easy. As the other reviews indicate, three families would be very comfortable, as was our family of three generations.

Joseph gets Pro Bowl INT, plenty of griefPosted by on January 30, 2012 – 3:54 pm
HONOLULU — Cornerback Johnathan Joseph provided the Texans' highlight of the 2012 Pro Bowl with an interception of Cam Newton in the third quarter on Sunday at Aloha Stadium.
After the game, all Joseph – and his teammates – could talk about were the interceptions that he didn't get.
"I expect more of him, because he dropped two of 'em today, and he should've caught them," defensive end Antonio Smith said. "If he wants to get his ninja sword, he must do that."
Joseph finished his first-career Pro Bowl with two passes defensed, including one in the fourth quarter on a pass over the middle intended for Roddy White. Had he corralled it, he was likely bound for the end zone.
"He should've had another one, another interception for a touchdown," Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said after being asked about Joseph's interception. "But he had a good game."
Even Joseph's teammates watching the game from Houston got in on the ribbing.
"When I got back (in the locker room) and I looked at my phone, I probably had 10 texts from all the DBs – all of 'em saying that cost me about 1,500 bucks for the drop," Joseph said.

This might be a dumb question, but can the defensive coaches help him and the other DB's out with hanging onto those near catches in the offseason? Or is that something that either you have or don't have as a natural talent? The defense played lights out this season, but should have come away with more turnovers.
By bhaas on Feb 2, 2012 | Reply
krussell, I grew up playing corner…the thing to remember is that the defensive backs have little time to find and corral a ball. The receivers know where the ball is gonna be and when it is gonna be there. The D Backs are having to play the receivers, so by the time they turn around to find the ball, it is almost more of a sudden reaction to go for the ball, because it is probable almost to the target. I know it makes it look like the receivers have better hands than the D Backs….but not neccessarily the case.

New Image Galleries on Website
One of the downsides to all my traveling lately is the lack of updating my website's image galleries on a timely basis. I get many comments to that effect quite often, both in person and via email. Well now that I've had some time to catch my breath as well as some quality time in my home office, I've been able to catch up.

The Gentle Giants
Earlier this month, I traveled to Crystal River, Florida to capture the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatees) with underwater photo gear – essentially a underwater housing for my Canon 5D Mark III. Following are a few of the photographic results from the trip plus some interesting manatee facts. Enjoy!
Manatee Fact #1: Sailors once believed these animals to be sirens from the deep, mythical mermaids coming to call. This certainly says less about the manatee's obvious sex appeal (they are pretty cute, aren't they?) and more about – well, how do I put this politely – the sailors' loneliness and desperation for companionship after being at sea too long.
Manatee Fact #2: Manatees cannot survive for long in water colder than 60 degrees F (15C). For this reason, they seek out warm water springs in to seek refuge from the frigid Gulf of Mexico during the winter months.
Manatee Fact #3: The manatee's closest living relative is the elephant. By their appearance alone, I thought this to be a somewhat obvious fact but apparently it has something to do with the number of fingernails both species possess.
Manatee Fact #4: Manatees have no natural predators. The biggest hazard they encounter are the props from motor boats which has lead to them being included on the endangered species list.

2013 in Retrospect #2
As with any good retrospective, it's often therapeutic to cleanse oneself of the forgettable and embarrassing episodes from the previous year while embracing and carrying forward all that was good and true and hopeful. And while that's true personally, the same can also be said of our society and culture in general. For example, in 2013 we can and should easily forget the painful and unnecessary government shutdown, the Sydney Leathers and Carlos Danger saga, twerking, the Harlem Shake dance craze, and Justin Beiber's monkey, among many others. We can only hope these are mere one-hit wonders and not prone to unwelcome resurrections in the near future.
One fad that gained traction in 2013 and shows little sign of going away is the selfie. Unlike the refuse listed above, however, this one hits a little closer to home. Forget the inherent shallow narcissism involved, a selfie is still a form of photographic expression after all.
Selfie was named "Word of the Year" by the Oxford Dictionary which then goes on to define the word as (n.) a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website. Yes, that's the same Oxford as in the great university of England, not the town in Mississippi.
So you might be wondering, what's the harm? Why, as a photographer, am I so down on the selflie? Well for one, if you have to take your own portrait, it could mean that you don't have any friends to do it for you. So it could be that the selfie is actually a symptom of a larger personal problem. Then there's the frequency issue. If you are taking and posting more than one per week, it could also be a manifestation of yet another issue that needs addressing. It should go without saying that selfies in your birthday suit broadcast to complete strangers on the Internet is, at a minimum, in poor taste. More for some than others.
Aside from those objections, I guess it's harmless enough – maybe even a little fun. So here's my selfie for 2013, just to show that I'm not entirely hostile to the idea. Just don't expect an encore for at least another 12 months. Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 24-105mm f/4 @ 28mm, 1/30 second @ f14, ISO 100.

Image Round Up From Namibia
I am perpetually behind when it comes to editing images and at the moment, I may be setting a personal record. I still don't have everything completed from Namibia, no images from my trip Roan Mountain in North Carolina and Tennessee, and I am currently in California. Who knows when I'll have the time to get around to these.
But here are some of the Namibia highlights. It already seems like so long ago so it was nice to revisit some of these special moments. Enjoy!
By the way, our Wild Namibia photography workshop and tour on May 25 – June 6, 2014 has been filling up very quickly and we are getting close to having it filled. For more information click here.

Return to story
By HOWARD OWEN
Should the American middle class be placed on the endangered species list?
The numbers suggest that while the rich are getting richer, not only the poor but also everyone in the middle are getting poorer.
That was the main message of a tele-seminar presented last week by the Foundation for American Communications, titled "The Middle Class Squeeze."
"The vulnerability of the middle class is really increasing," said Kristen Lewis, who led the seminar. "Middle-class families are looking more like working-class or poor families."
A few facts:
One percent of Americans control about one-third of the wealth.
Real median household income is $48,200, down $1,175 from 2000 figures.
Because mortgage payments, utilities, food, day care, health insurance and just about everything else is up over that same period, the median household's expenses are up about $4,600.
To make ends meet, the average household has about $8,500 in credit card debt, and the average college graduate finishes school with about $20,000 in educational debt.
Forty-five million Americans have no health insurance. Over a two-year period, 80 million will go without health insurance at some point.
You get the picture.
Lewis, co-author of "The Measure of America," whose subject is the growing gap, says the middle class isn't in its current malaise because of too many lattes.
"Fixed expenses are putting families under water, not sneakers or takeout [food]," she said. "Taken on the whole and on average, that's not what's driving the middle-class squeeze."
To make matters worse, the middle class seems to be working harder for less.
Americans, Lewis said, work more hours on average than they did 30 years ago, and we work about 350 hours more a year than our counterparts in peer countries in Europe.
And while household incomes are up, much of that is because Mom and Dad both are working, where a similar family might have gotten by on one income in the past.
"Relying of two incomes doubles vulnerability," Lewis said. "In the past, if the mill closed, there was this extra worker, sort of an insurance policy in a second potential income. Now, that income is already being counted on, not something you keep in your back pocket just in case. If one person loses his job, you're in bad shape."
American society, she added, has not adjusted to the "new normal" of Mom and Dad both in the work force as well as other countries.
We are, for example, one of four countries in the world with no federally mandated paid maternity leave. The others are Liberia, Papua New Guinea and Swaziland.
"We are far behind in child care, preschool and federally mandated sick leave and vacation," Lewis said. "Other countries provide universal health coverage so parents can care for children and themselves."
She sees the idea of a social contract between employer and employees as fading.
"People who entered the system when it worked a certain way," she said, referring to baby boomers and other older Americans, "they had expectations of what retirement would be, what the rules would be, and the rules changed.
"They entered under one set of rules and are facing retirement with different rules."
She thinks the idea of expecting everyday people to manage their own retirement savings "is crazy. Like most of us are not good at fixing our own plumbing or fixing our cars, we're also not that great at investing. It's not in the skill set. Putting that on people near retirement is not in the best interest."
And the fact that about 1 percent of Americans control one-third percent of the wealth puts us in special company. Among countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, we are more unequal than all the others except Mexico and Turkey.
A 20-year study released this week by the OECD concluded that inequality is growing among the world's richest countries, and especially in the U.S. The specter of a long-term global economic crisis makes pros-pects more grim.
"What will happen if the next decade is not one of world growth but of world recession?" asked British economist Anthony Atkinson. "If a rising tide didn't lift all boats, how will they be affected by an ebbing tide?"
"The middle class is shrinking," is Lewis' message. "Wages in the middle class have fallen, wages at the top have skyrocketed.
"The top earners are peeling away and leaving the rest behind."

The Madison Fire Department held the Eighth Annual Firefighters' Fall 5K and 10.2K races last Saturday, Oct. 12 in downtown Madison.
The Main Street Madison website described the race as "an annual fall run through one of Georgia's premier historic districts, benefiting Madison's volunteer fire department."
A total of 174 runners registered for the races. Fees for the races were $20 up until Oct. 2, and then $25 until the day of the race.
Madison Fire Chief Tim Carter stated that the number of runners that participated in the races was comparable to last year's attendance, but that the Fire Department does not yet know how much they were able to raise at the event.
For the second year, the proceeds from the races will go toward the Bill Cochran vocational scholarship fund.
Andy Ozburn, 40, of Mansfield, GA placed first in the 5K with a time of 18:29, and Zach Massey, 29, from Buckhead came in second at 19:29.
Elizabeth Branch, 43, of Madison, was the top female finisher in the 5K. Branch finished with a time of 22:31.
The top finisher in the 10.2K was Brent Fields, 41, from Covington. Fields completed the race in 37 minutes flat.
Terrell Peacock, 32, Gray, GA, finished the race in second place at 43:17, and Tanya Booth, 44, of Covington was the first female to complete the race with a time of 52:28.

UCaaS on the Rise, Telcos Getting Left Behind
The idea of unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) is one that's making a lot of headway with businesses, and a new study from Synergy Research Group shows just how far this idea is going with companies. But the study doesn't just show the growth of UCaaS in general... it also shows that there are some parts of the communications sector that are getting left behind by this growing new sector.
The Synergy Research Group study showed that the UCaaS business suite represents fully eight percent of all managed and hosted business voice subscribers alike. It's been on a tear in terms of overall growth, with an annual growth rate around 30 percent. Hosted business voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service is also growing, though not as fast, seeing under 10 percent growth per year, and the managed on-premise IP PBX (News - Alert) is in a steady decline.
The UCaaS market as a whole, meanwhile, is primarily occupied by a triumvirate of companies splitting a hefty 36 percent of the market by revenue among the three in question: 8x8 (News - Alert), RingCentral, and ShoreTel. The market by subscriber count, meanwhile, is a different matter as there are several different application service providers (ASPs) on hand providing different services. But when subscribers are considered, 8x8, RingCentral (News - Alert) and ShoreTel aren't alone in the top of the rankings, joined by Fonality (News - Alert), Mitel, and Vocalocity.
But the lists, whether considered by revenue or by subscriber, both lack one critical point: telecommunications firms. While firms like AT&T (News - Alert), BT and Verizon—major firms by any standard—are all seen and well-represented in terms of hosted business VoIP and managed on-premise IP PBX, said firms aren't seen much in the UCaaS market, where the growth seems to be largest. That's got some, like Synergy Research Group's founder and chief analyst Jeremy Duke, noticing the unusual discrepancy and making points accordingly. Duke elaborated, saying "A fascinating battle is playing out between traditional telcos on the one hand and much smaller specialist operators and technology vendors on the other. Clearly UCaaS is going to carve out an ever-greater share of the managed and hosted business voice market and at the moment the telcos are being very slow to respond to the changing market."
It's interesting to note that the major growth section of this market, the UCaaS business suite, is the part that's seemingly most neglected by the major firms. It could indeed be a function of corporate response speed—larger companies are simply less agile than smaller competitors like those who seem to have UCaaS on a lock—but it could be an expression of the firms' appraisal of the market. It could be that the larger corporations really don't see a point in competing in UCaaS despite its substantial growth. After all, the percentages may mask a smaller overall field, one that the major firms may not have an interest in given the other fields in which said majors are competing.
The motives behind the larger firms' lack of presence in UCaaS are unclear, even if there are several possibilities at work here. Still, there's plenty of room for possibility, and time may well see these firms enter the market later on. But the gains in UCaaS may prove too much to resist down the line ... or to ultimately fizzle out as UCaaS' replacement — whatever that may be — comes into play sooner than expected.
