Eric Jackson, Contributor
I cover the business of technology.
Earlier this week, I was on CNBC, discussing my post from Forbes from 5 weeks ago titled "Here's Why Google and Facebook Might Completely Disappear in the Next Five Years."
There has been a lot of comment about my comments.
I wanted to post an exchange I had with James Altucher – my favorite blogger and just an outstandingly smart and funny guy – on Facebook about my dire point of view. Here it is below.
James was asked what he thought of my CNBC comments:
Eric is a smart guy and a friend and has been a great analyst on a lot of stocks (Yahoo, for instance, he called perfectly). But Facebook I think is too entrenched. Its not a MySpace which capped out around 100mm users and was mostly US. FB has One billion users, users in every country, and the particular dynamics of advertising on Facebook are unlike any other medium. Let's say you advertise (i.e. spend money) on FB to get a "fan" for your company's fan page. Now you can market to that person for the rest of his life FOR FREE, as opposed to any other medium where you have to spend more money to keep the engagement potentially going. Then there's facebook credits, payment systems, games, mobile, etc. And imagine when they start monetizing the Like button through an AdSense type ad network. And finallly, imagine when they start building a realtime search engine. There's too much potential that hasn't been used and (unlike Yahoo when Eric was analyzing it), the FB management team is smart enough to make these things happen and succeed.
He got 8 "Likes" for that. I think that will help Facebook sell a lot of stuff to him in the future about Facebook, death, or me.
I only have 2 "Likes" for my response to James, which probably means his argument is 4x as convincing as mine, but here it is nonetheless:
Thanks, James. That's a good response and I do think they have a smart mgmt team (although YHOO had lots of smart people back in the day – Jeff Weiner, Dan Rosensweig — and wasn't Google pretty smart too, yet they had no response to social until last year?). 900 million users is clearly different than MySpace/GeoCities and they have a much bigger opportunity in front of them today compared to what Yahoo had at the same age. I think my short answer to you would be that, although I think there are many ways FB can and should make a lot of money (paid search, 3rd party ads on others' sites, credits), I still think they'll always be a website company in their DNA. Twitter was a mobile company first (doing SMS). Instagram was a mobile company (and might have toppled FB if they'd continued on their trajectory). FB will always be a web company. It's part of the culture (hacker way, hackathons, "keep shipping"). I think they'll do lots of bolt on acquisitions of mobile companies, but most will get shut down (Gowalla) or get forgotten. They'll still be a web company. I think there will be some new pure play mobile company that will come along and attract all the attention. Eventually it will eclipse FB. It probably won't replicate FB though (FB didn't replicate YHOO). It will just do something amazing that lots of users have never seen before. Like moths to a flame, users will flock to the hot mobile start up of the day that "gets it." FB will be seen as passe — even if they're making money from all the ways you mentioned. Obviously, FB can change its fate. I don't think it's preordained they'll "disappear." I just think history suggests these organizational/cultural/sociological forces are much more powerful than start-up folks/VCs/pundits think. And history does show that "smart" mgmt teams usually make a couple or three really bone-headed strategic mistakes along the way.
[I have a long position in YHOO]
Love James Altucher but Im with you; I cant get on board with his view on the longevity of Facebook. I may "like" brands on FB but that doesnt mean free marketing for life because I end up using the "hide all updates" option. What good is fan then?
Facebook has been the best to short on Nasdaq this past few weeks. You are guaranteed to make $1 million each day. No other company has that certainty.
Put another way. Its very hard to come up with a success at anything. Companies are lucky to get it right once in this cruel world. Hitting a home run more than once. that's just rare. It doesnt matter how much money a company has in the bank. what a company needs is that new hit idea and the hungry guy (or girl) running after it. its just rare.
and facebook should not be allowed to buy it. that's against fair business rules.
The FTC/SEC/DOJ should absolutely block Facebook from buying one of its strongest competitors — Instagram. Instagram is a photo based social network. its one of the strongest competitors facebook has seen to date. Facebook has network effects. Without network effects Mark and Co. would have had strong competition a long time ago. Instagram is one of the few companies that found a hole in Facebook's armour. It would be a shame to simply watch Facebook buy away the competition. Do the right thing FTC/SEC/DOJ and block the buyout.
I'm certainly not qualified to say whether Facebook or Google will disappear in a few years or not but i just want to make a few remarks. At the beginning of Amazon adventure and of Google adventure the fact is that a lot of economists or finance advisers where criticizing the economical models of both companies some of them doubting that Google or Amazon would ever become profitable or if that it they would become profitable it would be barely. I think Amazon and Google have both proved those people were wrong. Of course this success does not mean that they will still be around in a few years. As far as Facebook is concerned I don't really care. I personally never been a fan of social networking whether Facebook or Linkendin for a simple reason. It takes a lot of time to do and maintain a profile and once it is done you find yourself submerged with invitations to participates to groups or forum or discussion subjects which usefulness is questionable. Social networks remind me of my experience as a member of several chambers of commerce. As a lawyer I was told by friends that I should register to one of many chambers of commerce in order to meet potential customers during the numerous events organized by said chambers. Now the thing is that I soon realized that there were so many service providers that registered to those events that at a table of 10 you had 3 legitimates businessmen surrounded by 7 service providers trying to sale them something. So this was hopeless. Speaking of Google one thing I found disappointing is that they have never been able to make a yahoo kind of website. Because while Yahoo may be doomed the fact is that they have one of the most easier first page to navigate and that it is very agreeable to read news on yahoo whether it is there desk or mobile version

Fear Factory
Fear Factory Lyrics : 10 / 82
Big God / Raped Souls
In America today, every 25 fucking seconds
someone is viciously raped, someone is brutally violated;
250 times a day, someone is murdered, someone's life is taken,
In America; This is America, This is America, and I love America,
I love America!
No remorse for the pain
Look into the eyes of death
Strong man cannot endure
Big god of this earth
Big god, no god!
Take back this life
Give back this world
"Woe to you
of earth and sea"
Big god will always be
Big god, no god!
Burn! Raped Souls:
God raped souls
Of our lives
Hammers crush all our lives
Just like clockwork
They'll crush our lives

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed won't be up for re-election until 2013, but hundreds of people and companies nationwide are already donating to his campaign, including a handful from Virginia-Highland.
About $8,700 from Va-Hi businesses and residents has flowed to Reed's re-election kitty in 2011.
That's just a fraction of the nationwide total during the last six months of $640,000, according to the latest filing to the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission.
Donations from Virginia-Highland are varied. Promoter Peter Conlon maxed out his personal contribution of $2,500. Smaller gifts come from a construction company boss, a management consultant and attorneys.
This year's donations bring Reed's campaign fund up to $3.4 million dollars.
Attorneys and their firms are early givers citywide, especially from firms that specialize in what's called "government relations," better know as lobbying.
Georgia's campaign finance law requires candidates to itemize every donation that totals more than $100. Smaller donations can be lumped together. Reed's lump of such little donations comes to about $3,000.
Nearly one out of every five Reed campaign dollars this year come from out of state: people, law firms and companies have sent that much. And many of those donations are clustered around Washington, D.C.
But if Reed ever thinks of trying for a job up there, the Washington money does no immediate good. All the donations are sent to a Reed 2013 mayoral campaign. State law bars the money from any other race that Reed may join, though the monies can be sent to the Democratic Party, or to a PAC to parcel out to other candidates.
Reed's receipts are split about 60-40 between individual people and businesses or organizations. Though CEOs and the like who love the mayor can and often do donate the maximum both individually and via their company.
Reed must file his disclosure with the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission for the second half of 2011 in early 2012.
The top donors for Virginia Highland and Druid Hills were:
- Peter David Conlon, 1100 Virginia Avenue, Peter Conlon Presents LLC, $2500
- Charles T. Huddleston, 1256 Pasadena Avenue, Baker Donelson, $2000
- The Adams Group, 1026 Bellevue Drive, $1000
- Michael P. Williams, 1183 Amsterdam Avenue, Making Projects Work Inc., $1000
- Douglas Landau, 752 1/2 North Highland Avenue, Concrete Ideas LLC, $500
- Charles T. Sharbaugh, 1101 Springdale Road, Paul Hastings LLP, $500
- William M. Brown, 98 Ponce de Leon Terrace, Information Requested by Reed Campaign, $250

Changes in gardening habits could help protect a cherished species
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — Americans be willing to pony up for Monarch butterfly conservation, according to a new study that links conservation and economic values.
The research, conducted by scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey. Colorado State University and the University of Minnesota, suggests that willingness could add up to big bucks — $6.5 billion that could be used to support conservation efforts.
Monarch butterfly populations have been declining across Mexico, California and other areas of the United States since 1999.
A 2012 survey at the wintering grounds of monarchs in Mexico showed the lowest colony size ever recorded. Much of the decline has been blamed on the loss of milkweed, the native plants on which monarch caterpillars feed. Continue reading

Jeni & Tyler's Wedding Guest Book
De Nellie Jennings
This is the Wedding Guest Book created for Jeni & Tyler who are getting married Valentine's Day 2010. Most photos were taken when they were just being themselves with no inkling that they would be used in this manner. I think they show the fun side of their relationship.
Acerca del autor
I love taking photographs because in a moment, I get to freeze something forever........something I can savor again later on and maybe someone else will get to enjoy it too. And since these "senior moments" seem to be happening more often, I need all the help I can get to remember something. Also photography gives me a good excuse to be adventuresome, travel, take a road trip, see new places, be outdoors and go hiking and camping.........or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, it's my kind of fun.

Paradise Grill--Del Mar....Any Feedback?
Have been there a few times. For the area, it is a nice change from the high-priced neighborhood restaurants. The food is okay for the price, but nothing overly exceptional. It is a good social/drinks/small plates place. The outside patio is comfortable as is the outside bar. Wine list is modest, but accomodating.
Instead of the neighborhood potluck christmas party, we went down to Paradise Grille. I had not been there for 6 months, as we had given up on the place. Pretty restaurant, nice concept, but uninspired food.
We spend $110 per person (sounds hard to do, but we drank some pretty good wine) and the wine was the only thing decent about the place. Jerk chicken was dry, the steaks were overcooked, the salads were run of the mill, just totally mediocre.
I hate to say it, but for the price, I would rather go to Papa chino's, the other mediocre eatery in the mall. Paradise Grille is just missing the mark, although they seem to be busy enough.
I won't be back until there is a change of chef or ownership.
I was there Saturday evening and the food was excellent. Three of had duck, sirloin steak, and hangar steak. For appetizers we had a lobster salad and a garden salad, both superb. My only disappointment was even though we had a reservation a week in advance that was confirmed with a call a day in advance, when we arrived the dining room was full and we had a choice of sitting in a heated patio area or the bar. When I expressed my disappointed they simply said we will make a note next time that you prefer the dining room. Are there those that would prefer the bar?
re: PGB
Do you mean Market or Paradise Grill? Sounds like Market's food. If so, the same thing happened to us, we had a reservation and they tried to stick us next to the bathroom door in the bar. They acted like it was unreasonable to expect to be seated in the dining room without a special request. I found it annoying, and so did the three other couples they tried to seat at that table after we refused to sit there. (We wound up at a different table in the bar.)
re: Alice Q
Yes, it was Market. I called the next day and left a phone message for Carl, but never heard back. I love the food, but don't like the treatment. They, too, seemed to imply I should have requested the dining room. From your posting it seems this was not a one-time situation but an ongoing policy with them.
re: PGB
PGB-not their policy at all. While they had not seen this thread on Chowhound, they tell me that from now on, if it looks like a full night they will alert those reserving after that point that any open space will be in the bar or the patio. Given the RAVE review in last week's San Diego Reader, they will be very busy for many months. (As I've said before, I have no $$$ interest in this place, I'm just a fan.)

The newest Steelhead appliance has a data store that's more than 3TB--more than double the largest capacity previously available.
Last year, Riverbed Technology released a major upgrade to its Steelhead wide-area data services appliances and Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) 4.0 OS. The upgrades enhance the security and scalability of data transfers between branch offices and the central data center. Steelhead appliances can now accelerate data transfers that are encrypted using the SSL protocol, save all encryption keys on the Steelhead appliance in the main data center and certify the keys without involving branch offices.
RiOS 4.0 now applies app-specific protocol optimization to Oracle Forms traffic found throughout the Oracle E-Business app suite. DR and backup jobs are speedier because of a new set of traffic-recognition features based on the size/type of the data being transferred. And Riverbed has accelerated encrypted, secure traffic and improved the performance of chatty Web-based apps that hadn't been addressed by WDS products. As one judge succinctly writes: "A very fine upgrade to a very fine product."
This was first published in February 2008

Taste the Local Raspberries!
July 19, 2007
Jam,wine or Just off the Vine, photo by taterfalls.
According to ancient Greek myth, all raspberries were once white. But one day, when the god Jupiter was in an angry rage, the Nymph Ida picked some wild raspberries to calm him. While she was picking the berries, she pricked her finger on the thorns of a raspberry bush. Legend states that from then on, her blood stained all raspberries a bright red color.
That's just one of the many "drupelets" of information about raspberries available in Ready to Pick: Raspberries from Taste the Local Difference: everything from tips that raspberries are best picked in the morning and won't ripen after picking to the fact that raspberries are rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants and ellagic acid (an anti-carcinogenic compound) to an explanation that raspberries are actually a cluster of many small individual fruits, called drupelets, each containing its own seed.
Like all the others in their weekly Ready to Pick series, it also includes links to Northern Michigan farms & farm markets with raspberries, a profile of the famed Tapawingo restaurant in Ellsworth and recipes for Raspberry and Lemon Thyme Ice, Tapawingo's Raspberry-Chocolate Tart in Almond Pastry and Raspberry Pancakes. (I think I better go get breakfast now).
Tate says that these raspberries were sooo good, so I'm sure you can be forgiven if your raspberries never make it home from picking!

Pretty boat. Leaving the harbor at Muskegon, Michigan.
While I've seen, and photographed, most currently active lakes boats, this one had somehow escaped me until yesterday afternoon. We'd gone to Muskegon to walk the beach, and suddenly there she was, leaving the harbor.
Sykes was the first American lakes boat completed after World War II, and was launched shortly after I was born. In many ways she's the prototype for a generation of lakers. And just plain gorgeous! Glad I finally found her.
You may enjoy Joel's Lakers slideshow and you'll probably also like the Wilfred Sykes photo gallery from boatnerd.com Joel links to above.

Reflections :: Saugatuck, Michigan
July 14, 2007
Reflections, photo by chatursunil.
We get about 100 people a day who are searching for backgrounds for their computer. To them I say: this photo makes a great background!
Saugatuck (pop. 1065 in 2000) is the sister city to Douglas. This Saugatuck/Douglas history page says that unlike most Midwest frontier towns, neither town suffered the devastating fires nor the modernizing railroad. As a result, the villages provide a rare chance to see pre- and post-Civil Ware Greek Revival and Italianate architecture alongside later structures in the Arts & Crafts and Colonial Revival manner.
Like Douglas and many communities along Michigan's western shore, Saugatuck was timbered out after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Still…
…Saugatuck and Douglas thrived, turning to shipping and fruit growing as a source of income in the latter part of the 1800s. Peaches from the area were called "Michigan Gold" and were shipped by large steamships to the Chicago market. Hundreds of ships of various types were built in Saugatuck shipyards and the town was a haven for ship captains.
A resort, tourist, and "cottage" culture emerged in the 1880s and took a propitious turn in 1910 when a group of Chicago artists established the Summer School of Paintings on Ox-Bow Lagoon, and when a huge dance hall, called the Big Pavilion, was built on the waterfront. The resulting influx of well-known artists and big name Chicago architects resulted in a wave of building in the Arts & Crafts and Colonial Revival manner. The seed planted at Ox-Bow has continued to flourish over the years, with the area is now known as the Art Coast of Michigan. Today, Ox-Bow continues to be affiliated with the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Saugatuck/Douglas Visitors Bureau has a huge pile of information and photos and links, including a link to a pretty informative video tour of Saugatuck/Douglas. There's also the Saugatuck/Douglas Area Business Association with more events, news & listings. Wikipedia's entry on Saugatuck says that attractions today include art galleries, the harbor, marinas, scenery, unusual stores, the view from atop Mount Baldhead, tourist attractions, the famous Oval Beach on Lake Michigan, Saugatuck Dunes State Park and Allegan State Game Area.
Cool new feature alert!
Here's the Google Map for Saugatuck in our newly created Absolute Michigan map of Michigan. I'll try and loop back and add maps for the other entries in our Michigan shoreline tour.
Postcard History of Sister Lakes, Michigan
July 13, 2007
Speedboat 'King Tut' on Indian Lake The photographer taking a picture of the speedboat King Tut in 1929 had no idea of its significance. Earl Wiest Jr. and Ralph Tice, owners of Tice's Beach at the north end of Indian Lake, were intense rivals. Who had the faster boat was an example. Tice won this round by building King Tut, the fastest boat on the lake, and racing it in front of Wiest's Resort.
The introduction to Sister Lakes by R.L. Rasmussen, a new book in Arcadia Publishing's Postcard History Series, says that technically the two lakes that are called the Sister Lakes are Round Lake and Crooked Lake. In 1877 a post office for Sister Lakes was established in the area between the two lakes.
The book covers these two lakes and also the other nine lakes within a six-mile radius: Magician Lake, Indian Lake, Dewey Lake, Round Lake with 194 acres; Big and Little Crooked Lakes, Cable Lake and the four smaller lakes of Keeler, Pipestone, Priest, and Brush.
Happyland Resort on Magician Lake (above right, click for larger view) These young vacationers are from a 1923 postcard. This resort was originally started by Frederic E. Howe. He and his wife had a theatrical troupe that would spend their summers there writing plays and taking them out on the road. These actors would then be available to groups attempting to raise money for special causes.
You can learn more about Sister Lakes at the Sister Lakes, Michigan web site (nice map of the Sister Lakes area too) and also view the area on Google Maps.
The photos and captions reprinted with permission from Sister Lakes by R.L. Rasmussen. The book is available from the publisher online at www.arcadiapublishing.com or by calling 888-313-2665.

Northern Lake, Northern Lights
July 12, 2007
Northern Lights, photo by Harry Thomas
My friend Harry sent me this photo of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) over North Lake Leelanau. He says that at about 2am on a very windy Tuesday night, the neighbor's sailboat came off the mooring. He got up to check his boat and got a light show! And yes, that is a shooting star in the top right … how amazing!
I thought I had the comprehensive Northern Lights post already on Michigan in Pictures. Turns out not. I'm not sure that this is, but if you add links to more Michigan Northern Lights photos in the comments and I include a link to the Michigan in Pictures northern lights tag, we'll have a good start!
No post about the Northern Lights is complete without a link to the Michigan Tech based Aurora Page, which has been a source for Information, links and images about the "Northern Lights" on-line since the Web began. The site's creator, Michael Dolan, took some great photos of the Northern Lights over Lake Superior (click the images when you get there for best quality images) and this site is simply the best Aurora Borealis resource on the internet.
Also in the U.P., Ann and John Mahan have an Aurora Borealis gallery that has a lot of Upper Peninsula photos (as well as others from the Great Lakes region). They have some cool books too! You can get some more Lake Superior aurora shots from Shawn & Brian Malone.
Heading back to Leelanau County, photographer Ken Scott has some Northern Lights in his online gallery (more in his books as well!). While we're in Leelanau, I guess I can add a link to my Northern Lights gallery on Leelanau.com (I have a few are wallpaper-sized on Flickr and there's some Northern Lights backgrounds on this page). In the interests of completeness, I better include a link to Wikipedia's Aurora entry.
Keep your eyes on the skies, because Northern Lights often come in waves and if you DO see them, be sure to post them on the Michigan Northern Lights Log on Absolute Michigan!
Buzzy Morning … for how long?

Buzzy Morning, photo by CaptPiper.
This beautiful photo of a bee and poppy reminded me about honey bees and Colony Collapse Disorder.
Despite the fact that the story has faded from the news, MSU prof Zachary Huang's cyberbee.net says that Colony Collapse Disorder is still a mystery. Be sure to check out Zach's Bee Photos and this amazing resource for information about Michigan bees (and bees in general).
For more about Michigan bees, check out the Michigan Beekeepers Association and Michigan bee plants. You might also have a look at Wikipedia's bee entry and their entry on Colony Collapse Disorder.

Check out his Great Lakes Surfing set (slideshow!!) for a bunch more photos, most of which are large enough for your computer background needs!
When you're finished with that, head over to Absolute Michigan for a Michigan surfing extravaganza featuring tons of Great Lakes surfing videos (including some 1970s footage of folks surfing off this same pier!)
Which I should add is the Grand Haven Pier!
farms & shadows
July 9, 2007
This shot of farms around Pittsfield (in southeast Michigan near Ann Arbor) is part of a great set of aerial photos of Michigan (and into the Georgian Bay of Canada) that includes views of Ann Arbor and the Big House and ranges over to the Lake Huron shore and up to my neck of the woods. The photos are all helpfully placed on a map – a great bonus!
I was struck by the contrast of this evolved landscape with its patchwork and rumples to this golf course development.

It's not often that an editor gets a phone call about birds.
But that's what happened when Maria Marroquin, executive director of the Day Worker Center, called me on Friday, Jan. 11.
I roughly remember the conversation going something like this:
"Claudia," she said. "I'm at the shopping center on Charleston Road and I hear a chorus of birds. It's marvelous."
I asked her to shoot some video and send email it. I got it later on that day.
This Wednesday, Jan. 23, I stopped by the Starbucks in the same shopping center. I didn't notice the birds on the way in—perhaps they hadn't gathered yet—but on my way out, I was hit by the concerto or cacophony, depending on your musical tastes.
However, like Maria, I stopped to take it in. There were so many birds perched on electrical wires, on the transformer and atop of the Startbucks. This definitely merited taking some video. But what are they doing here? I didn't remember them from prior visits to the Starbucks.
Now, I hope that an ornithologist or an avid bird watcher can help us figure out who these little visitors are and what they are singing about.
Is it mating season already? Is love in the air?

News and opinion about video games, technology and the internet
Update: Here's the official Facebook event I just created for the censored image posting day on the 18th. Invite everyone you can.
Yesterday, I wrote a post about the upcoming Reddit blackout in protest of SOPA, and I urged larger sites like Google and Facebook to follow suit, if they are as serious about the killing of the internet censorship bill as they claim to be.
Though the post got a great deal of support, many were quick to point out the realities of such a thing happening. As both companies would stand to lose significant revenue for any sort of shutdown, it's unlikely a full blackout would ever actually occur, whether its effect might be in their long term best interest or not.
This caused me begin to think about what alternatives to a full-on blackout might be for these sites. Though flipping the off switch would be the best way to get the public's attention about the bill (who are hugely uninformed about the bill's existence or its potential effects), I suppose there are alternative options to consider.
Google's is relatively easy to imagine. Rather than a fun logo celebrating Mark Twain's birthday or something similarly lighthearted, I think they could devote a large stretch of time to a main page that looks like this:
Simple enough, and though not as attention grabbing as a full blackout, it would definitely increase awareness. I have no sway at Google, but it seems like a relatively easy way to show their opposition to SOPA that would help educate a woefully uninformed public.
Now onto Facebook, which will undoubtedly not go dark as they're still circling a possible IPO. But it's a site where we, the users, can actually force people to pay attention to SOPA, should they participate in my little idea here en masse.
I thought about the typical "change your profile picture" maneuver that people use to support things like breast cancer awareness or promote their band's upcoming concerts, but in the Facebook newsfeed, profile picture changes show up as a very tiny part of the timeline.
Not bad, but microscopic in the grand scheme of the entire newsfeed, considering that twelve peoples' picture changes are crammed into about 50 pixels of height.
So what does Facebook give priority to? Posted photos. And that's where my idea comes in.
I recently crafted the image below. If you can make a more official looking one, I implore you to do so and send it to me.
The idea is that you would either A) post the image as a wall photo or better yet B) post an entire ALBUM of this image under a normal title like "2012 Ski Trip!" or "A Crazy New Year's Eve!"
I would also recommend making the description link for each photo this address, the same one I have in the image:
This bill may not be the answer, but as an artist/small business/entrepreneur who has had his work infringed, I can tell you that there has to be a mechanism that allows the small guy to easily seek legal redress against companies that use an artists work without paying for it.
When someone downloads my work and then uses it without my consent, they are stealing from me the same as if I were a store owner and they were shoplifting.
"Jammie Thomas was back in a courtroom fighting the -JURY AWARD- that would have seen her pay $1.92 million for illegally downloading 24 songs working out to $84,000 per song. The judge in the case reduced that fine to $54,000 in an appeal stating, "The need for deterrence cannot justify a $2 million verdict for stealing and illegally distributing 24 songs for the sole purpose of obtaining free music."
The RIAA later offered to settle with Thomas for $25,000 to be paid to a music charity. Thomas and her attorney refused the offer, and the RIAA then rejected the judges reduced fine of $54,000. After the reduction was rejected, the case went back to court. The jury deliberated for two hours according to the Star Tribune and came back with bad news for Thomas. The -JURY-awarded the RIAA a record fine of $1.5 million, which is about $400,000 less than the original judgment against Thomas."
After reading this bill over…I agree, it's ridiculous.
I'm not necessarily unhappy with the current state of affairs, but this is an area of personal concern.
When I find an example of infringement, one of the first things I do is send the ISP a "takedown notice". Under the "Safe Harbor" provision, they must remove the copyrighted content and notify the infringer or risk liability for infringement themselves.
Then I send the infringer an invoice…it's usually a big one. Lots of them feel that removing the content or offering "photo credit" is adequate, but for me, that's like the shoplifter spitting out the candy bar he stole. The damage has been done. They've diluted the value of my image and/or made it impossible to guarantee exclusivity to a real paying client.
If you can't properly license content, don't use it.
I use to be a software developer and self employed, therefore, I understand your concerns. However, SOPA is not the proper solution! I suggest you view – youtube.com – Trey Ratcliff visits Google's Mountain View headquarters for an Authors@Google talk. Please take the time to listen to what Mr. Ratcliff is suggesting. Best wishes, Rick Stotelmeyer
You act as if only small artists should be upset over people infringing on their work. The small, indy artists ALSO get hurt when people pirate Britney Spears or Nickleback. Becuase if record companies can't make the huge bucks on those artists, they will be FAR less likely to take chances on unknown, non-bubblegum mainstream artists. So all you will ever hear ARE the Britney.
I know a lot of delusional people want to say that artists don't NEED record companies anymore, but that is just that…a delusion and why 99.9999% of unsigned bands would still blow their own fathers in a public square for a shot at a deal.
It's actually not the same.
When someone shoplifts from a store, that product is lost forever. The store (or their insurance) must pay to replace it.
When a work is pirated, there might be some lost revenue (this point is debatable though) but you don't have to pay to replace the pirated work.
You want redress? I can tell you how. The same big companies that are crying foul in Internet Piracy and spending millions to make it come to pass are, get this, the same companies that distributed the file sharing software.
CNet, a division of CBS, had exclusive distribution of most file sharing software, including LimeWire, and they made millions if not billions off of it.
Disney, had their own co-branded file sharing software.
It gets much worse than that. Mike Mozart of Jeepers Media has exposed the whole sorry saga.
If I was an artist I would be going after these companies for retribution because they distributed downloading software and encouraged people to use it. In CNet's case encouraged the downloading of pirated material.
Why Forbes and other news media has not jumped all over this angle is anyone's guess. For if they did it would put a stop to SOPA in a few days, guaranteed.
YouTube stands to be shut down over this.
Here is all the evidence you need:
Follow the links too because it sends you to the documented evidence.
This is the Hegelian dialectic being executed to perfection.
"When someone downloads my work and then uses it without my consent, they are stealing from me the same as if I were a store owner and they were shoplifting."
As both an artist and a developer I can empathize but that is not that same at all!!
If I were to shoplift an album from a store and got caught you could be absolutely certain it was me and not my neighbor's uncle stealing my wifi. More importantly, I would probably only get a slap on the wrist for a first offense! Not $84,000 per song!!
I'm really sick of everyone using that argument.
The open source software community thrives off the same "issue" you're fighting. They seem to be fairly well off! Look at Red Hat or Google.
I have IP too, so I understand why you say you're being stolen from. The truth is though, that stealing from a store and using IP without paying for it are not the same. The store owner had to pay for the item that was stolen and lost the ability to sell it. With IP you just don't get paid. And, it's very likely that the person who stole your IP wasn't ever going to buy your IP in the first place, so in most cases, you aren't actually out any money.
Yes, we need to be able to have reasonable recourse, but this is far from reasonable recourse. Besides, do you think you or I will ever actually benefit from this law? Can you afford the lawyers? I can't.
The problem here is that the studios (movie, tv, recording, whatever) can't keep doing business the same way they always have, and they're blaming a nonexistent threat to their business. They're so busy trying to stop new ways of delivering content that they don't have any resources left to spend on figuring out how to take advantage of newly emerging models.

This is a great gym. I love that it converts as your child grows. This is my son's favorite gym. And I now buy it for every baby shower!

Mixed feelings. It is great if you do allot of hiking in above 80 degree weather. However due to the back only having two touch points; the shoulder harness and waist belt (the mesh back does not touch), the backpack forms a weighted angle pressure point on your lower back. Combined that the waist belt is NOT flexible like the Kid Comfort 2 it is hard to get a good fit. You might be able to wear it for a total of 5-6 hours in one day, any more than that you will be in pain. With that said, for the money the Kid Comfort 2 is a better buy and probably much more comfortable if you are not doing warm weather hiking, otherwise this is your best option.

Prato di Sotto is for the connoisseur. A collection of historic stone buildings sits above the tiny 13th century hamlet of Santa Giuliana. Lovingly restored by the owner, Penny Radford, and furnished with her personal collection of kilim rugs and antiques from around the world, the emphasis is on comfort and style.
Il Molino is a charming studio with an open plan living/sleeping area and a separate bathroom. Situated on the top floor of the 14th century olive mill, there is also a large covered terrace overlooking the central courtyard. The double bed can be separated from the rest of the living area by an attractive wooden screen. There is small but well equipped kitchen corner with an oven, hob and fridge, and a separate bathroom with a bath and shower over. There is satellite TV and stereo and a wood burning stove for the cooler months. The terrace is a lovely spot to eat al fresco or just relax in the deckchairs provided.
The garden has been carefully designed to offer elegance and privacy, scented with roses, jasmine and lavender, while the 15m infinity edge pool is ideal for relaxing with a book after a refreshing swim. Penny offers her guests a unique mix of rugged Umbrian scenery with the warm hospitality of an English country house, sharing her knowledge of Italy, the pick of her vegetable garden and the company of her friendly dogs, always available for walks!
This charming retreat, high in the Umbrian hills, offers luxurious comfort and perfect peace, yet is only 30 minutes drive from Perugia.
My partner and I have just returned from our 4th trip to Prato di Sotto and it is now firmly embedded as our annual pilgrimage for a piece of perfect tranquility. The warmth and unwavering hospitality from Penny, the owner, makes everything effortless and she always goes out of her way to help with anything you need and has loads of local knowledge about the best that is around in the area as well as a host of books, maps, events and beautiful places to eat.
We stayed in the Molino, an exquisite studio apartment but we have stayed in other apartments too, all with breathtaking views over the mountain range. The rooms are immaculately furnished with Penny's wonderful chic rustic style and everything you need is in the apartment to be self-contained including log burner to snuggle around if visiting in the late autumn. It is all super clean with fresh linen and towels.
Penny provides produce from the garden when in season and there is an abundance of herbs you can help yourself to for cooking. Don't miss out on the wonderful eggs from her free-range girls, not to be missed. Penny has four lovely friendly dogs that make it all the more homely and we 'borrow them' for wonderful long walks in the local forest which is filled to the brim with wildlife- it is not to be missed. I cannot recommend Prato di Sotto enough and Penny's colossal hospitality.
I've stayed at Penny's place three times, and have always enjoyed my stay there. The views are spectacular, the rooms are very tastefully appointed, and Penny is an amazing host who gives you attention without being intrusive. I love munching on her grapes in midsummer, smelling the roses, and eating lunch or dinner on the terrace. The hikes are spectacular, too! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The location is perfect for day trips exploring Cortona, Assissi, Perugia, Florence, or Sienna, but the best times are just relaxing at Prato di Sotto--either poolside or in the shade of her many terraces, which are professionally landscaped with an English flair. I have taken my family and friends to stay with Penny, and everyone raves about the vacation. It's my favorite place to be in Italy!
Penny is a wonderful, generous and thoughtful host and Prato di Sotto probably the nearest thing to an earthly paradise.

Commercial Applicators are required to register annually with the City of Ann Arbor. The registration form can be downloaded and turned into the Permits Desk 6th Floor City Hall. Commercial applicators must provide a copy of the Commercial Applicator Pamphlet to customers. Copies are available at City Hall at no cost or may be downloaded and reproduced. Copies are also available at LESCO.
Phosphorus is a naturally occurring nutrient present in the soils of southeast Michigan. Excess phosphorus in lakes and reservoirs can produce anaerobic conditions that reduce available oxygen for fish and other aquatic organisms as nuisance plant growth consumes the oxygen. Under certain conditions, algal blooms form. This results in a reduction of light and oxygen availability as well as toxic blooms that kill fish. Full and partial body contact recreation also can be compromised.
There are many sources of phosphorus loading to the Huron River including soil runoff, detergents, and fertilizers. Because phosphorus is a common element, a significant amount ends up at the City Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The chart above shows that approximately 43% comes from the discharge point at the City Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is a combination of sanitary sewer and stormwater via footing drain connections and illicit connections to the sanitary sewer. The WWTP removes most of the incoming phosphorus before the treated water enters the Huron River. For example, during February 2002, the WWTP removed approximately 95.47% of the phosphorus coming into the plant. On average, 873 lbs came into the plant each day and 38 lbs went out. Chart 1 shows that Ann Arbor creeksheds are also significant sources of phosphorus, primarily due to runoff. The chart to the right shows that runoff is mostly from single and multi-family dwellings. Runoff from the use of fertilizers is a significant source of phosphorus to the Huron River. Research has shown that the City of Ann Arbor contributes at most 67% of the total phosphorus load to the Middle Huron.
The City of Ann Arbor is under a federal mandate to reduce phosphorus loading to the Huron River in order to meet water quality standards. As a signatory to the Middle Huron Agreement for Voluntary Reduction of Phosphorus Loading to the Middle Huron Watershed (1999), the City agrees to implement best management practices for non-point source control of phosphorus. If the phosphorus reduction goals are not met by 2004 when the voluntary agreement expires, then the City will be required to invest in technological solutions to limit phosphorus discharge from the City Waste water treatment plant. To make further phosphorus reductions, the WWTP would need to do additional chemical treatment. The capital cost estimate is $1.5 million dollars with annual operating costs of $167,000. Additionally, a 3-year plant-scale test could cost $520,000.
Voluntary efforts to reduce phosphorus loading have been pursued by the City and other Middle Huron Agreement partners since 1997. The efforts involve soft and hard engineering practices, information and education activities, and policy and regulation. In order to achieve the necessary reductions, policy is needed to support the information and education efforts. In a 1996 assessment of best management practices, adopting a policy to reduce phosphorus-fertilizer use ranked moderate or high among urban best management practices in the areas of effectiveness, acceptability, and sustainability.
Research has shown that phosphorus is not needed as a soil additive in most areas within Ann Arbor. The MSU Extension Service provided soil sample results from 913 soil tests performed in the past few years from soils in Washtenaw County. The MSU Extension Service states that no phosphorus application is recommended for lawns if the test is above 40 lbs/acre. The review of the 913 tests shows that 84% of the samples do not need phosphorus. Of those 913 soil samples, 47% came from within the Ann Arbor zip codes 48103, 48104, 48105, 48106, 48108, and 48109.

The following excerpt is taken from an MSU Extension Service document, "Turf Tips for Homeowners".
Soil Testing: Knowing the conditions of your soil is one of the most important factors in growing a healthy lawn.
Phosphorus is a common component in most turfgrass fertilizers. It is an important element for turf growth and is critical for establishment of new seedlings. Phosphorus levels in soil are stable and a soil test will reveal the amount needed annually on your lawn. Most Michigan soils have adequate phosphorus levels and therefore continual applications of phosphorus may not be necessary. Phosphorus is a primary water quality concern in Michigan. Phosphorus applied to lawns is quickly bound to soil particles after the fertilizer has been adequately watered into the lawn. It is important to sweep these fertilizer particles from impervious surfaces to reduce the potential for them to move away from lawn areas. Sensitive lawn sites adjacent to lakes, streams and ponds should use no-phosphorus fertilizers when soil levels for lawns are adequate.
Phosphorus-free fertilizer is effective and readily available from major lawn care product manufacturers and distributors. Within Washtenaw County, local soy farmers have created fertilizer products that are also phosphorus free. Crushed soybeans are used to create a 7-0-0 (nitrogen only) fertilizer.
Soil testing services also are readily available to demonstrate the need for phosphorus.
Soil Testing is an important diagnostic tool to evaluate nutrient imbalances and understand plant growth problems. Soil tests help growers and homeowners adjust fertilizer applications to provide only nutrients that are lacking or inadequate to their crops or lawns.
Sampling: For garden soils, sample 6" to 8" deep. For lawns, lift the sod and sample 3" deep. Take 15 to 20 sub samples in the area you are testing and mix them thoroughly in a clean plastic pail. Submit 1 to 2 cups of the mix, after it is air-dried. Cost: $12.00 for basic soil test, includes mailing. $16.00 with organic matter testing.
As part of the Malletts Creek Restoration Study, estimates of full compliance in a phosphorus free fertilizer program within that creekshed would reduce phosphorus loading by 560 fewer lbs./yr. This equates to about 0.08 lbs/acre/yr. Phosphorus load from Malletts creek to the Huron River from May through October – using future baseline conditions – is modeled at 2,500 lbs. So, by extrapolating this finding to other Ann Arbor creeksheds, 100 percent compliance would result in a 22 percent reduction in phosphorus loading to the Huron River.

HA. Mental health problems. Is that what alcoholism is called now?

Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke this week to the Associated Press about the emotional struggles of dealing with the challenges being faced by his son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. Jackson has, according to reports, been emotional about his son's situation, and some are wondering if the Jackson family reputation has been affected by the recent scandal.
At 71, he still keeps a hectic schedule and speaks extemporaneously on everything from voting rights to hostages in Gambia. But the head of one of America's most prominent families struggles when addressing one thing: the son and heir to Jackson's political influence who abandoned his congressional seat last week because of mental health problems and two federal investigations into his political dealings.
HA. Mental health problems. Is that what alcoholism is called now?

Alchemy is a science where one understands the structure of matter, breaks it down, then rebuild it. However is not an all-powerful technique, as one cannot create something out of nothing. If one wishes to gain something, one must present something of equal value. This is the concept of equivalent exchange, the fundamental basis of alchemy.
However, there is a taboo in alchemy. Human transmutation. One must not commit this act.

This is such a fantastic series! You can always count on the BBC to step up and provide such good TV viewing. Seems to be more stations but less quality these days.
I will be right there on Wednesday!

The 2013 Kindle Fire HD works perfectly as an e-reader with a few extra tablet features, but users looking to take full advantage of Amazon's ecosystem should pay more for the Fire HDX.
Armed with a powerful processor and Amazon's exhaustive content library, the Kindle Fire HDX delivers incredible value for its price, especially for Amazon Prime members.
A unnamed source tells Reuters that Amazon is aiming to release a Kindle with an integrated light in July.
The next-generation Amazon Kindle will have a glowing front-lit screen, according to reports.
With its more portable design, the Kobo Aura is a worthwhile -- albeit pricier -- Kindle Paperwhite alternative for EPUB fans who don't want to be tied to Amazon's proprietary ecosystem.
The 7-inch Kindle Fire HD is already out. The 8.9-inch version hits in November with some key upgrades over the 7-inch version.
Pricing not available
With an excellent built-in light and Amazon's best-in-class e-book selection, the Kindle Paperwhite rises to the top of the e-reader pack.
With everything that was great about the HDX 7 and more, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 isn't just a great value, it sets the standard for a media consumption tablet.
US Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein Suzi LeVine took her oath not by placing her hand on the Constitution or the Bible, but on a Kindle.
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.

Though many options were discussed at Wednesday night's meeting of the Redwood City School District Board of Trustees, it appears everyone involved is still at a loss in how to deal with overcrowding at Adelante Spanish Immersion School.
Adelante is reportedly 21 students over the agreed-upon maximum capacity when the facilities were built. Parents, neighbors and district trustees and staff have said the number of students on campus is creating a safety hazard - both on campus and off, for neighboring homes during pick-up and drop-off times - and needs to be reduced.
Recently, the school board formed a small sub-committee, called the District Expansion Committee, to deal with overcrowding and increasing enrollment district-wide. The committee consists of trustees Shelly Masur, John Baker and Alisa MacAvoy, with the assistance of Superintendent Jan Christensen.
The committee members said they have been visiting school sites such as Adelante, John Gill and Kennedy and meeting with staff and parents to discuss potential solutions to the site's enrollment and crowding issues.
Some ideas presented to help reduce the number of students at Adelante have been to limit kindergarten enrollment, or to move the sixth-grade classes to Kennedy Middle School, which many parents are adamantly against.
Another idea is to try and create a second Spanish Immersion program at another site, either as a "satellite school" of Adelante or as a second school. One campus they have been exploring for that idea is John Gill Elementary.
Though some parents are convinced that decision has already been made, Christensen insisted during Wednesday night's meeting that all options presented are still just ideas, and no decisions have been finalized.
"Maybe I've given the impression that we already have a recommendation to vote on, but the truth is, we don't," Christensen said to a room packed full of parents Wednesday night. "We need to have more discussion."
Masur echoed Christensen's statement.
"What seemed to be some easy fixes have turned out to be much more complicated than we originally envisioned them to be," Masur said, explaining that, after the night's discussion was over, the sub-committee would be continuing both "internal and external" discussions before a recommendation and vote would take place at a future meeting, most likely in December, in advance of the district's Schools of Choice enrollment period in January.
Parents, teachers, students and principal speak out
At least 10 speakers took the podium to address the school board on their feelings about the options on the table for reducing the student population at Adelante Wednesday.
Most parents spoke out against moving the sixth grade to Kennedy, citing studies that an early transition from elementary to middle school could be traumatic for the young students, and saying they worried it would also hurt the progress of the students' immersion skills.
Another parent pointed out that, for some, moving Adelante's sixth grade to Kennedy would mean two school transitions, two years in a row for some.
"Not all Adelante students go on to attend Kennedy," he said, meaning that his child would have to change schools from Adelante to Kennedy one year, and then from Kennedy to his neighborhood middle school the year after that.
At one point, a group of four young students took the podium, asking the school board not to take the sixth grade out of Adelante.
"We're too little to be in school with all the big seventh- and eighth-graders. And we'd have to leave our friends," the kids said. "And, seventh- and eighth-graders can be a bad influence. So we might become bad kids," they added, prompting a laugh from both parents and trustees.
A kindergarten teacher from Adelante spoke and she also felt the prospects had not been communicated to Adelante parents enough.
"Not all parents know [about the idea of moving the sixth grade to Kennedy] – it's very much an upper-grade issue right now," she said. "A lot of my kindergarten parents don't know about this, so I think the word needs to get out to our families more."
At the end of the Expansion Committee discussion, Adelante principal Linda Montes took the podium.
Even Montes appeared to be at a loss at what to do, but she said a "programmatic" approach should be key - doing not only what is best for the campus, facilities and students, but what will keep the integrity of the Spanish Immersion program intact.
"I really am trying to look at all options, and I have to do it programmatically," she said. "If there's a solution out there, I wish I had it, because I would do it."
Montes mentioned that Adelante had been given around $93,000 in Measure W funds - but that wasn't even enough to add one full-time teacher to the school.
"It's not just the salary you have to factor in - there's the benefits and everything else too," she said. "Plus, I don't think it's fair to spend the entire amount of Measure W funds on one grade."
In the end, the trustees tried to assure the audience that they would continue earnest discussions with all staff and parents, and they thanked everyone for their comments and ideas.
"[We know] we need to do what's best for the kids, and make sure that the programs we offer maintain their robustness," said Masur.

Night Club – Need You Tonight (song review)
by Mario Norena • • 0 Comments
Night Club are a synth-pop duo out of Los Angeles who've laid their heads before the altar of 80's New Wave. In an attempt to summon the dark electronic gods of old, responsible for the drink and drug fueled revelry at dance clubs throughout the 80's and early 90's, Night Club chose to cover Inxs's "Need You Tonight," Michael Hutchence being already somewhat deified in certain circles.
From the first digitized bass hit, Night Club makes their supplicative cries clear. Their language is synth. Digitized and over-saturated, the melodies sound like the beautifully low-fi blips and beeps of 8 bit video games.
The cover is straight forward. No license is taken with the material, the only difference being that the singer for Night Club is female. Her voice is sultry and full. You can picture it coming from a confident, full-figured woman which turns the chorus of I "Need you tonight" into more of an expectation than a request.
Covers like these are typically well received because they're old enough to evoke nostalgia but recent enough that no grandparent can claim them as their own. The ones who were around can reminisce about the halcyon days when experimentation in drugs, sex and music was the norm. The line between excess and good taste not existing, any indulgence could be chalked up to exploration. Those who are too young to have been there can romanticize its excesses and experimentation without having the consequences that befell many dampen their enjoyment. Night Club's cover of "Need You Tonight" can help you do that.

BALDWIN PARK – The Baldwin Park boys' basketball team began its league play with a bang, defeating the visiting Nogales Nobles 70-60 in the Valle Vista League opener for both teams Tuesday night. The victory was the first league win for first year coach Israel Anguiano who took over for Marc Hart this year when Hart accepted the head coach job at South Hills High school.
Daniel Lopez led the way for the Braves with 27 points, two rebounds and an assist. Alex Delgado added 17 points, two rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Bernard Granados pitched in 11 points and two rebounds.
Although he only had six points, Alex Baron contributed to the team in other ways, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out four assists.
Baldwin Park jumped to a quick 9-0 lead before the visiting Nobles knew what hit them. James Santiago would then hit back to back 3-pointers for Nogales to close the gap to 13-6. Baldwin Park would then go on a 13-9 run to take a commanding 29-15 lead to end the first quarter.
Trailing 43-27 at halftime, Nogales bounced back to outscore Baldwin Park 24-16 in the third quarter to close the gap to 59-51 heading into the final frame.
"They are a very good shooting team," Anguiano said. "It's their ability to shoot the ball is what allowed them to stay in the game."
Nogales used a 9-3 run to close the gap to 64-60 with three minutes remaining in the game, but that was as close as Nogales would get, as Baldwin Park would score the final six points of the game to seal the victory.
Anguiano said that he was "very proud" of this, his first league victory as the first year coach of the team.
Baldwin Park (8-4, 1-0) looks to continue its winning ways as it visits the San Dimas Saints (4-4, 0-1) Thursday night. Tip-off is at 6:30 pm.
BALDWIN PARK (70) – Daniel Lopez (27), Alex Delgado (17), Bernard Granados (11), Ricardo Higuero (7), Alexis Baron (6), Steven Trinidad (2)
NOGALES (60) – james Santiago (12), Andrew Bullock (12), Patrick Phommachanh (12), Sheridan Maglenque (10), Jalen Cosman (7), Carlos Segura (4), Dominic Gangcuangco (3)
