South Korea Keeps Crushing It, Announces New Legoland
Start looking under the bed and between the couch cushions for those missing pieces, as construction crews are going to need each and every bit of plastic for this project.
Another new Legoland is on the docket, and this time the Danish blocks will call South Korea home. The folks behind the project are Britain's Merlin Entertainments, and they�re planning to spend roughly $270 million to construct the amusement park, along with local investors. Building a Legoland honestly sounds like a dream for a contractor; just follow the instructions, right?
As for the opening date�the schedule right now puts the first visitor to pass through the turnstiles in 2017. The park will be situated in Chuncheon�up in the Gangwon Province. WikiTravel has good things to say about the area, least of all this: "For travelers weary of Seoul's crowds and big city atmosphere, Chuncheon can be an ideal place to spend several days."
The South Korea Legoland will join other Legolands in Florida, California, Windsor (UK), Germany, Denmark, Dubai, and Malaysia.

Why Billions and Billions of Disney Dollars are Bound for Japan
In the wild world of theme parks the offerings by Disney over in Japan are often considered to be the best of the best. Sure Disneyland and Walt Disney World here at home are great spots to visit, but it seems like over in Japan they have all the best rides, newest attractions, and the biggest budgets�they spare no expense.
Now things are going to get even better, as it sounds like the folks behind the parks in partnership with Disney are spending around $4.6 billion to upgrade, improve, and expand the parks in Tokyo. Both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are set to receive the influx of cash and construction, as the renovations are expected to take place over the next ten years.

Will Harry Potter Move to China? Universal Studios Announces Beijing Park
Pack your best roller coaster riding pants, as China is all set to welcome the thrills and chills of a major new attraction. The folks over at Universal Studios have been running the numbers, preparing the PowerPoint presentations, and now it�s time to start about building a new park over in Beijing.
The opening date of the park hasn�t been announced, but you can bet on it being a few years from now; the bulldozers haven't even arrived on scene yet. The planned park will take up around 1,000 acres, and will likely feature all kinds of superheroes and movie favorites from Spider-Man to Transformers.

Will Drones Soon Be Buzzing Overhead at Disney Theme Parks?
It sounds like Disney is hard at work thinking of the latest and greatest in theme park technology, but this time things aren�t exactly related to new rides, attractions, or roller coasters.
Disney recently filed a few patent applications for some of their new ideas, and they have a lot to do with drones. Specifically, the plans sound like the theme parks are planning to put unmanned flying devices to work in the name of sharing a little more entertainment with visitors.

Will a Legoland for New York Become Reality?
File this one under "wait and see," but there�s some evidence that a new theme park could be coming to the greater New York City area. It�s not another Six Flags or even a roller coaster kingdom, but something more interactive and imaginative. That's rightthe Hudson Valley may welcome its very own Legoland.
The plan is to utilize the site of the former Letchworth Village in Thiells within the town of Haverstraw. Recently the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council met to chat about stuff like economic development�ha�and the plans for the theme park received a positive reception.

Halloween Theme Park Preview: Universal Hollywood's Werewolf Maze
We�re halfway through August, and before you know it the cooler temperatures and spooky stuff of fall will be here. That means that Halloween marketing is starting to arrive. The candy might not be at the store just yet, but the theme parks are getting ready to celebrate the season�like Universal Studios Hollywood and Halloween Horror Nights.
The park over in California is taking a few pages out of their own film library, as they�re calling on An American Werewolf in London for inspiration on their latest seasonal selection.
The maze opens up for the season on September 19, and it sounds like they�re taking plenty of cues from the original film. Organizers promise totally convincing props, authentic music, and special effects that will scare you silly�especially when it comes to all things werewolf.

Universal Orlando's 'Hogwarts Express' is Totally Showing Up Actual Amtrak Trains
That's the question being exclaimed by visitors to Universal Studios Orlando, as the theme park has announced that their newest ridethe Hogwarts Express within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alleyjust surpassed 1 million riders.
This train, a ride experience we heralded as "the most attractive ride at Universal Orlando" and which became our favorite of all at the park, only opened to the public on July 8, 2014. On August 7, the Universal Orlando Facebook page announced they'd reached the million riders, conveniently one day short of the ride's one month anniversary.

This Indiana Theme Park is Spending $22 Million on Their Next Roller Coaster
We�re right in the middle of theme park season, so it seems a little unusual for a park to start building excitement over some future rides and attractions. We�d think they would still be focusing on this year. However, we�ll just assume that the folks over at Holiday World know what they�re doing, as they just announced that they will be spending $22 million to construct a new roller coaster.
It will be the country�s first launched winged coaster, and it will be known as Thunderbird once the final bits and pieces are assembled in 2015. The details are still coming out, and we�ll know more as the construction progresses; however, we do know that the ride will hit 60 miles per hour in just over three seconds�hang on. There�s the usual twists, turns, and whatnot as well as 14-story version of something called an Immelmann loop.

It'll Take $3.5 Billion to Build Asia's Newest Theme Park by 2018
It seems like Asia is the hotspot when it comes to theme park construction and expansion, and now there�s news that the continent will be adding yet another place to hop on some rides and enjoy some attractions.
The company behind the new plans is 20th Century Fox, and they�re ready to build something brand new over in South Korea. Details like rides and attractions are limited at this point�as in non-existent. Alas, we do know that the new park will take up around 75 acres and be a key feature of the Ungdong Entertainment Complex in Changwon City.

Say Bonjour to 'Ratatouille' at Disneyland Paris
The parks over at Disneyland Paris don�t seem to get the new rides and attractions as often as we do here in the states, but that�s not the case this week as a fresh bit of Disney magic is headed overseas.
The new attraction is showing off a little fun from the movie Ratatouille, and it's scheduled to debut July 10. It�s the very first ride based on this film, and of course it only makes sense for Ratatouille to make a first amusement park showing in Paris, seeing as how the animated film was based there.

Everything Old is New Again: Wooden Roller Coaster Debuts at Six Flags Great America
We�ve been awaiting its arrival since January of this year, and now it�s finally time for the roller coaster known as Goliath to make a debut.
This big and bad new coaster isn�t a usual hi-tech coaster offering either, as this thing is a wooden coaster�so expect all of that moving and shaking that goes along with a timber track. With its opening comes world records, as Goliath will feature the longest drop, the steepest drop, and the highest speed of any wooden coaster. Top speed is 72mph.

about the Dean difference.
Home > About Dean > News > 2013 > Dean Clinic Doctor Earns Certification in Obesity Medicine
Published on February 18, 2014
Susan Isensee, MD, recently passed the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) certification exam for obesity medicine physicians, becoming board certified in the subspecialty of obesity medicine.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults and 17 percent of U.S. children and adolescents are affected by obesity. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion.
"In our own state, the prevalence of adult obesity is around 30 percent," said Isensee. "I am interested in being part of the solution to this medical epidemic by locally helping patients affected by obesity who seek access to safe evidence-based medical treatment options."
Physicians certified in obesity medicine are able to positively impact all systems of the body by incorporating weight management into traditional models of medical practice. Specifically, this subspecialty requires competency in and a thorough understanding of the treatment of obesity and the genetic, biologic, environmental, social and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity.
Patients and their health care providers need a variety of options for obesity treatments, since no single treatment approach will work for every individual. Dr. Isensee encourages her patients to visit the Obesity Action Coalition at www.Obesityaction.org.
Supervision from a health care provider is necessary to detect and treat weight-related medical conditions. A health care program supervised by a physician who is certified in obesity medicine offers a comprehensive and effective approach to maximizing overall health and reversing obesity-related co-morbidities.
Isensee joins Janet Droessler, MD, as Dean Clinic's second board certified doctor of obesity medicine.
As of the 2013 exam, only six Wisconsin physicians are board certified in Obesity Medicine. Dr. Isensee and Dr. Droessler are the only Madison-area providers certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine.
For more information or to arrange an interview with one of our Dean providers or staff, contact Dean Clinic Communications Manager Kim Sveum at firstname.lastname@example.com or (608) 294-6080.

Apple moves to ban Steve Jobs action figure
Do you remember the Steve Jobs action figure that was so life-like it was creepy? It appears the model may never see the light of day because of Apple's proactive legal team. According to a report in the Telegraph, Apple is threatening to sue InIcons, the company that created and marketed the figurine. Apple supposedly sent a letter to the company that said it's illegal to use a company's logo, a person's name or his or her likeness without consent.
InIcons has been taking pre-orders for the action figure and expected to ship it sometime next month. InIcons hasn't said what it would do, but comments from InIcons' Tony Cheung suggest the company isn't going to step down. Cheung recently spoke to ABC News and said:
"Apple can do anything they like. I will not stop, we already started production."
Cheung also says his legal team advised him his figurine is in compliance with the law because it's not sold with any replica Apple products. As for Jobs' likeness? Cheung says Jobs is "not an actor, he's just a celebrity. There is no copyright protection for a normal person." He further argues that "Steve Jobs is not a product...so I don't think Apple has the copyright of him."
InIcons is not the first company to create a Steve Jobs action figure. MIC Gadget produced a life-like action figure last year, but it was shut down by Apple's legal team.

1956 Ford F-100
ProsThis is a toy that have always wanted. It is fun and draws alot of "thumbs up" everywhere we take it. ConsI need to upgrade the steering and suspension. rides like it was built in1956.
The Cruiser — This truck sat since 1975. For some of it's life it was stored indoors. In the mid 1990's storage space was lost. At that point it was moved into the mans' backyard under a tree. Covered with a tarp,and never getting a chance to dry after raining. The roof almost fell off by the time it was sold to me. Now I have the truck in usable condition, and drive the tires off of it. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

- Thanks to Stephen Carlson, the 36 messages posted to our list in
May was higher than the preceding six years - but we still lost ground
to XTalk, which had a huge month of 111 messages. (Five month
totals = our 218 to their 269.) XTalk's May was similar to our February
(where we had 120 messages). In both cases, the large volume
was sparked by one hyperactive contributor. In fact, the XTalk
contributor in question posted more messages in May than our
entire list! This is not to disparage such individual activity, but
to indicate that such months are unusual.
What most concerns me is that the number of active contributors
to the list remains too low. I suspect that the basic reasons for this
are our relatively limited focus and a declining degree of attention
paid to this type of forum, but whatever the basic reasons, we still
have almost 280 members (with almost no dead addresses, unlike
other lists which never cull those out), so if but a few more of our
subscribers could be enticed (or jolted) out of absolute lurker-mode
from time to time, I think we'd be better off. Of course, a lurker level
of around 90% is pretty standard, but still, a few active contributors
makes a big difference.

Mt. Clemens, MI - THANK YOU AGAIN, ROGER!
Actually I found that the story of Edessa wiped-on face was the source for the Veronica legends.
Edessa'a face image was real, was copied a lot, and was claimed in Constantinople and elsewhere as the model for their own iconic frontal faces of Jesus for centuries.
Also I found that one Makarios of Magnesia (ca. A.D. 400) identifies her as a princess of Edessa ( Crafer, T.W. The Apocriticus of Macarius Magnes (New York: Macmillan, 1919), p. 31).
Moses of Khorene (ca. 5th to 8th c.) even goes so far as to name her as Abgar's queen (von Dobschütz, Christusbilder, 1899, p. 114).
I'm still hoping to hear what the members of the list may think of the notion that the "alter-ego" of the folded Edessa cloth, apparently a larger full-body image of Jesus's burial cloth later sent to Constantinople, unfolded, and recognized as such, may be that which is being described by the expression "mirror-image" ("twin" of Jesus's body) in the Hymn of the Pearl.
Thanks for going with me on this quest.

Hi Dan,
Seems that the alleged image that the Edessian King used for healing was from the tradition of Veronica who allegedly wiped the face of Jesus on the Via Dolorosa. This was written in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. This is an important tradition in the Catholic Church. Eusubius wrote about it and associated Berenike/Veronica as a friend of Martha of Bethany and apparently was the woman healed of blood flowage (Matt 9:20). The name "Berenike" is first written in the "Acts of Pilate".

Xbox One
Aside the cloud, the only reason to upgrade to a next gen console is graphics.
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
MS is going to make it easy for these popular game developers to create their games using their dedicated servers. I'm surprised how short sighted everyone is. The PS4 is just a graphical upgrade with a new controller, and I'd feel the same way about the xbone if it wasn't for the dedicated servers. If you love to play mainly single player, then I guess the PS4 is great. If you are looking forward to popular games coming out by third party developers, and would like to have everything on a dedicated sever, then I don't see how this is even a discussion on why the xbox one would be a better choice. | |
do you have facts sources the ps4 has no dedicated servers!!! and do you also believe the cloud has anything to offer other than dedicated servers? are you major nelson? --- Kramerica Industries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icDXNHF-oEw | |
axelfooley2k5 posted... do you have facts Yes, I am Major Nelson. I created this GFaqs account years ago but decided to come on now. Nice to meet you. PS4 will have dedicated servers, but they have not invested over a billion on the dedicated servers and 700 million on a new data server to support the said dedicated servers.(Clouds) http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/24/microsoft-to-invest-700-million-in-new-data-centre-to-support-cloud-service-xbox-live/ This is on top of how much was already invested in. That means a developers will most likely pay next to nothing to have dedicated servers, and MS will probably let really popular upcoming games acquire their cloud servers for free. Major Nelson, out. | |
Ehhh, you're really downplaying the PS4 here when really we don't know what they've invested or what they'll be able to do. Not to mention that money=/=results. It can help it but there is so much more to the equation. As far as Cloud services go, I'm going to hand this one to Sony seeing as how they also have Gaikai. | |
with a spy camera collecting tons of data it wuld be smart to store said data RIGHT? --- Kramerica Industries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icDXNHF-oEw | |
The problem with 360/PS3 is that they're almost a decade old. Upgrading doesn't just make graphics better, it allows gaming to move on and makes things possible that the 360/PS3 couldn't ever do. We won't see much of this at launch, but it is coming. The 7th gen is slowly showing it's age more and more. Like the GTA V texture pop-ins and online problems. Far Cry 3 is another example; looks great, but performs "meh." This extremely long gen is holding back developers, making them hold back on PC games as well. It is definitely time to upgrade. --- The average lifespan of a raccoon is ~5 years. 3DS FC: 0748 2141 3539 | |

Well they have not upplayed anything aside from having a great PR system to trash MS's unpopular start. After that, they haven't really had much to do except say it's all about gaming. In response to Microsoft's dedicated servers, which many here have not paid attention to(Which helps Sony out a lot), they have had no reason to have a response. Last I checked, CoD Ghosts will be p2p on PS4 but dedicated servers on XBone. Unless PS4 changed and I'm unaware. Even Killzone will have dedicated servers for matchmaking, but the actual game itself is going to be P2P. Everyone stated their first party games are dedicated servers, but they're not. Dedicated servers for match making. http://videogamesandnews.com/ps4-players-upset-dedicated-servers-killzone-shadow-fall/ So, what are PS4 players paying monthly for? | |
so much fail it's entertaining to a certain point though then it's depressing to see PR spin actually working according to TC...dedicated servers are a brand spanking new concept (smh), and it should be the deciding factor in purchasing your next generation console....smh I remember in 2003 you could "dedicate" your own server on rainbow six 3 and Ghost recon...what happened to that? I swear whoever this awful PR spin works on deserves the xb1 smh --- The Closest You'll Ever Come to Afghanistan in Gaming... http://youtu.be/GIhqUiQJt6Q | |
MRL3G3ND posted... so much fail I believe it is a vital part when choosing my next gen console. I had a lot of fun with Diablo 3, but then everyone started having the same hacked items. That took away the fun as I worked hard on my character, and I joined lobbies where everyone was OPed and killing everyone. Now it's not fun to just go to public lobbies. Also, games like RDR was too laggy on someone IP. Aside from new graphics, what does the PS4 offer? .. Certainly not dedicated servers for one of their flagship launches. Battlefield 4 will have it's own dedicated servers, thank goodness to PS4 fans. You really believe you can have a solid 64 player experience on P2P? Also, yeah RS used to have dedicated servers(Pre vegas games). Those were the PC versions though. Both consoles should focus on dedicated servers next gen, but one of them is really seeing that this gen was popular with on line gaming, and the other is just throwing their fans the same old bone except it looks shinier. | |
Talking about "spinning", its hilarious MrL3gend wants to pretend that having dedicated servers PERIOD = one company heavily subsidizing dedicated servers for third parties and ensuring them for themselves. Man people are desperate. Fact is, CoD on XB1 has dedicated already and Killzone Shadow Fall doesn't so its pretty sad. The thing, dedicated servers cost a lot of money, especially if you are renting them. MS already owns these servers and made the initial investment because they want the XBOne to distribute software digitally, meaning they want as many people on XBL as possible. Even MMO's can run on subscription fees as low as $10 and make pretty good profits. MS's servers provide dynamic support AND are owned by them so the extra $10 will be able to more than cover maintainence costs, which just leaves them trying to recuperate what they've already initially spent, which is many times more than what Sony can afford to do at this moment. --- GT: ZiiX360 PSN: BoxFighter85 PC: i7 930@4Ghz | EX58 UD5 | GTX 460 SLI | 8GB DDR3 | 500GB Spinpoint | Vertex 2 180 SSD | Cooler Master HAF X | VG236H |

Commons News
BioMed Central moves to CC BY 4.0 along with CC0 for data
BioMed Central (BMC) is one of the largest open access (OA) publishers in the world with 250 peer-reviewed OA journals, and more than 100,000 OA articles published yearly. BMC is also long-time user of CC licenses to accomplish its mission of husbanding and promoting open science. BMC has been publishing articles under a CC license since 2004.
In June of least year, BMC's Iain Hrynaszkiewicz and Matthew Cockerill, published an editorial titled Open by default in which they proposed a copyright license and waiver agreement for open access research and data in peer-reviewed journals. The gist of the editorial was that
Copyright and licensing of scientific data, internationally, are complex and present legal barriers to data sharing, integration and reuse, and therefore restrict the most efficient transfer and discovery of scientific knowledge, (and that implementing) a combined Creative Commons Attribution license (for copyrightable material) and Creative Commons CC0 waiver (for data) agreement for content published in peer-reviewed open access journals… in science publishing will help clarify what users—people and machines—of the published literature can do, legally, with journal articles and make research using the published literature more efficient.
Starting September 3, 2013, in keeping with its forward-looking mission, BMC started requiring a CC0 Public Domain Dedication for data supporting the published articles.
This is good because CC0 reduces all impedance to sharing and reuse by placing the work in the public domain. Good scientific practices assure proper credit is given via citation, something scientists have already been doing for centuries. Marking data with CC0 sends a clear signal of zero impedance to reuse. CC0 is a public domain dedication, however, wherever such a dedication is not possible, CC0 has a public license fallback. Either way, the impedance to data reuse is eliminated or minimized. Making CC0 the default removes uncertainty, and speeds up the process of accessible, collaborative, participatory and inclusive science.
But wait, there is more… starting February 3, 2014, BMC, Chemistry Central and all of SpringerOpen family of journals are also Moving Forward to the latest CC BY 4.0 license. Changes in CC-BY — version 4.0, released on Nov 25, 2013, represent more than two years of community process, public input and feedback to develop a truly open, global license suitable for both copyright, related rights and, where applicable, database rights. By moving to CC4.0, BMC is not only getting set for reliable, globally recognizable mark of open, it is also setting a high bar for the future of open science.
We at Creative Commons are big fans of BMC, and we applaud their move to creating a stronger, more vibrant open commons of science.
Comments OffCreative Commons welcomes new energy and expertise onto its board
Creative Commons, a globally-focused nonprofit that provides legal and technological tools for sharing and collaboration, welcomed eight new members to its board of directors today. It also announced a new advisory council to complement the board and provide input and feedback to CC leadership. Several alumni of the CC board will be transitioning to the advisory council. CC co-founder Lawrence Lessig will lead the advisory council and transition to emeritus status on the board.
The announcement comes on the anniversary of the first Creative Commons licenses, which were launched in 2002. Since then, thousands of creators around the world have used Creative Commons licenses, amassing a selection of over half a billion CC-licensed works, spanning the worlds of education, art, academia, data, science, and much more.
"With the continuity of current board members and a fresh outlook brought by the new members, Creative Commons is well prepared to engage with a very different environment from the time of its founding," board chair Paul Brest said. "The board includes some of the world's foremost experts in technology, intellectual property law, the internet, and business and social entrepreneurship. It's appropriate that we're announcing the new board on December 16, the date when it all began eleven years ago."
The new board members reflect the broad diversity of the global Creative Commons community. Four of the new board members — Renata Avila (Guatemala), Dorothy Gordon (Ghana), Paul Keller (Netherlands), and Jongsoo Yoon (South Korea) — are Creative Commons affiliates, experts who represent Creative Commons around the world and localize CC licenses and other materials for their jurisdictions.
Creative Commons also gained board members with substantial experience in technology and product development, like Ben Adida, a director of engineering at Square who previously served as CC's first technology lead; and Christopher Thorne, a veteran technology entrepreneur and private equity investor. The new members also bring additional legal acumen to the organization, including Microsoft intellectual property counsel Thomas C. Rubin and New York University Law School professor Chris Sprigman. Together, these individuals will augment Creative Commons' existing capacity in technology and intellectual property law.
Creative Commons CEO Cathy Casserly will be leaving her role as CEO in early 2014, but will continue to serve on the newly formed advisory council. "While my role in the organization will be changing, I'm proud to continue to serve the CC community alongside this diverse and talented group of leaders," Casserly said. "Through our collective efforts, we will continue to work toward our vision of a truly collaborative, free internet."
Comments OffWhat we've built together
Pick Team Open.
Support Creative Commons.
On this date in 2002, we launched the first Creative Commons license suite. But it's what happened next that matters.
Thousands of creators started using CC licenses to share their works, everything from film to educational resources to science research. And sometime between then and now, the world changed a little.
Musicians started thinking less about piracy and more about how they could benefit from fans sharing their music. Entrepreneurs developed business models based on open licenses, proving that you can share your work without sacrificing profit.
And there's something else. People began to demand open. We started expecting it from our governments, our universities, and our employers. Legally, All Rights Reserved is still the default, but today, it's a choice. Today, people notice when those in power choose closed.
Let's not delay the obvious any longer: we're writing to ask for money. As you're considering which charities to support this year, please take a moment to reflect on what we've built together over the past 11 years.
When you use a Creative Commons license, you fuel a movement for open that spans every country on earth. A CC license badge isn't just a legal tool; it's a symbol for the better world that we can make together. Thank you for joining Team Open.
Please make a donation to Creative Commons at whatever level you can afford. We have some t-shirts and other gifts for donors, but more importantly, we promise to use every cent to fight harder than ever for open.
Year 12 starts now.
Comments OffHoliday albums from ccMixter
If you're not familiar with ccMixter, you should be. It's an amazing community for downloading and sharing CC-licensed, remixable music and samples.
ccMixter has released two albums of holiday music this year; you can buy them or receive them for free for becoming a ccMixter supporter.
Season of Gratitude was first conceived last November, when the ccMixter all-volunteer admin team organized its annual Holiday Remix Event called Gift of Song. The community created original holiday-themed samples, a capellas, songs, and remixes. True to all ccMixter uploads, each original sound was released with Creative Commons licenses which inspire collective creativity and allow everyone to enjoy the resulting songs for free. The Season of Gratitude double album is a curation of the remixes that transpired from the event, re-mastered by ccMixter artist Copperhead, for optimum sound quality.
"I love participating in the annual holiday remix event on ccMixter," shares Kara Square, contributing Season of Gratitude artist. "The atmosphere on the site is extra warm and open-minded. As we contribute, we learn about each other's beliefs and celebrate our diversity through the music we invent."

2 Comments »Permanence of CC licenses upheld in CrunchBase settlement
For how popular they are worldwide, it's striking how rarely CC licenses' validity has been questioned in court. We consider that a testament to the care with which we craft the licenses: we try to find every possible area of contention or ambiguity before we launch the licenses. To our knowledge, no court in any country has ever found a CC license invalid.
An out-of-court settlement yesterday affirmed what most people reading this blog already knew: you are free to use Creative Commons–licensed content under the terms of the license without fear of infringing the licensor's copyright, even if the licensor changes her mind later.
The complicated case involved CrunchBase, a CC BY database of names and companies in the tech space, operated by TechCrunch. A startup company called Pro Populi built an app using CrunchBase data with attribution. CrunchBase questioned the legality of Pro Populi using its data in that way, pointing to a clause in its own terms-of-service agreement reserving the right to "continually review and evaluate all uses of the API, including those that appear more competitive than complementary in nature."
When the story hit last month, Wired's David Kravets interviewed CC's Diane Peters. She reiterated the non-revocable nature of the licenses, saying, "As a matter of copyright, once you have it, you have it, and can do what you want with it."
The case has now been dropped, but more importantly, CrunchBase has now revised its own terms-of-service agreement to remove any contradiction with the CC license, thanks in no small part to our friends at the Electronic Freedom Foundation:
"Offering content under the most permissive CC license while claiming the right to shut down uses they didn't like was a bit misleading," said EFF Staff Attorney Mitch Stoltz. "CrunchBase's new terms of service are clearer and more in line with the best practices of the open content community. The new terms should allow developers to re-use and build on the CrunchBase dataset with greater confidence."
Comments Off"We are grateful to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for playing an instrumental role in updating the CrunchBase Terms of Service," said CrunchBase President Matt Kaufman. "At their suggestion, we adopted Creative Commons 4.0 and open content best practices. These updates provide more clarity to our community and provide a stronger foundation from which to build and extend the CrunchBase dataset."
European Commission announces public consultation on the review of EU copyright rules
This post originally appears on the Communia Association blog. Creative Commons is a founding member and active participant in Communia.
Last week Thursday the European Commission launched its much anticipated public consultation on the review of the EU copyright rules. This consultation is the first visible sign of the second track of the Commission's attempt to modernise the EU rules (the first track consisted of the rather unsuccessful Licenses for Europe stakeholder dialogue). In the words of the Commission the focus of the consultation is on:
… ensuring that the EU copyright regulatory framework stays fit for purpose in the digital environment to support creation and innovation, tap the full potential of the Single Market, foster growth and investment in our economy and promote cultural diversity.
With regards to the contents of the consultation, a first reading reveals a mixed bag of questions, with a surprising amount of them actually touching on issues that are closely related to our own policy recommendations. The consultation comes in the form of a 37 page document with a grand total of 80 questions that cover everything from the functioning of the single market for copyrighted works, linking and browsing, copyright term duration, registration of copyrighted works and exceptions and limitations for cultural heritage institutions, education, research, persons with disabilities and "user generated content". In addition, there are questions about private copying and levies, the fair remuneration of authors and performers, respect for rights, and even the possibility of a single EU copyright title. Finally there is an open question for everything else that stakeholders might want to tell the Commission.
The deadline for providing answers to all of these questions is the 5th of February, which if one takes into account the upcoming holiday period is rather short. Read More…
Comments OffGuest post: What's behind the success of Copyright 4 Educators Australia?
The following is a guest post by Jessica Smith, National Copyright Officer for the National Copyright Unit of Australia. She ran the Copyright 4 Educators (AUS) course with Delia Browne as part of the School of Open's second round of facilitated courses in 2013.
The School of Open is a community of volunteers focused on providing free education opportunities on the meaning, application, and impact of "openness" in the digital age and its benefit to creative endeavors, education, research, and more. Volunteers develop and run online courses, offline workshops, and real world training programs on topics such as Creative Commons licenses, open educational resources, and sharing creative works.
The National Copyright Unit (NCU) of Australia ran its second cycle of the School of Open's Copyright 4 Educators (AUS) course in August. The course ran for seven weeks, with a two-week introduction period and five weeks of substantive group work. We took on 60 learners, with enrollments filling up in less than two days, plus a wait list of around 15 people. At the end of the course, we only had 3 drop-outs, a 95% retention rate!
On top of those stellar results, we also had very happy learners as well as great results in terms of the uptake and understanding of the information. We have an ongoing wait list for the course as well as teachers and librarians continuously enquiring about the course. We're also in the process of obtaining accreditation for the course through larger teacher organizations so that it can be used to fulfill specific professional learning requirements of Australian educators.
We believe our course has succeeded for three reasons:
- We made it easy for the students to participate.
- The course was associated with the NCU, an official government division.
- We assigned small groups based on commonalities, such as profession and field.
1. Make it easy for the students to participate
Making it easy for students is of utmost importance in an online environment, especially if the course is targeted to people who may not be familiar with online learning. We know this may sound obvious, but it's so important that it's definitely worth mentioning and expounding on. If you don't nail this, you're not going to retain your students.
So how do you make it easy for the students? Have everything (eg, communication tools and assignment submission entrypoints) set up for them and support them to the nth degree. What this means: you have to put the time in before the course starts and you, as the course facilitator/organizer, must be very comfortable with the course layout and tools in order to be able to give ample support as well as troubleshoot when issues arise.
Tutorials for Tools
For our course, we had heaps of information on our P2PU course site (outlining essentially everything they'd need to get through the course), but we also created tutorials and sent out additional information through email on all the essential parts of the course (ie. using the discussion tool Disqus, submitting group assignments, leaving peer review, etc). We really wanted the students to feel supported and to answer questions and issues BEFORE they arose. It's too easy to drop out of an online course, so we wanted to preemptively take care of as many issues as possible. We had one student state they were "very nervous and uncomfortable" to take an online course who later reported how great the course was set up and how easy it was in terms of knowing what to do and how to do it. It's key students feel like this from the start of the course, or they won't stick with it.
Tools we used
We used Google docs for our course. We had every group's Google doc set up for every single week, and we linked to the docs from both the course on P2PU as well as in emails that we sent out every week. The weekly emails make it very clear what was expected of our learners as well as where to go to complete their tasks. See an example below:
It's the last week already! You've all done a great job getting here. We've been very impressed with the calibre of all the groups' work in this cycle. In Week 7, you'll be using everything you've learnt throughout the course to help a peer.
This week you should:
*read the Week 7 Readings;
*collaborate with your group to complete Week 7's assignment;
*post (ie by copying and pasting) your final group answer to your group's google doc HERE by COB this Sunday, September 22nd;
*leave peer review for Week 7 by COB Tuesday following the assignment due date, September 24th;
*and remember you should also have your peer review for Week 3 finished by COB tomorrow Tuesday, September 17th.
Please note this assignment is only asking you to point to helpful resources – ie, you don't actually have to answer the question – you simply need to demonstrate that you're able to find, compile and share helpful copyright resources.
Peer Review
You will peer review the exact same groups every week. Just as a reminder see below:
* Group 1 will review Groups 2 and 3.
* Group 2 will review Groups 1 and 3.
* Group 3 will review Groups 1 and 2.
* […]
Since you've all now completed Week 6's assignment, you can apply for the Copyright Exceptions badge HERE.
For more information on P2PU badges, see HERE.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, just let us know!

We also sent out individual group chase-ups the Monday following a Sunday due date as well as a chase-up Wednesday following the peer review due date. See below for an example of this:
It doesn't look like you've done your peer review for Week 6. Remember this is a requirement of the course. Your group is responsible for leaving peer review for Groups 8 and 9. I can see your group has left feedback for 8 already, so only Group 9 to go!
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. If you want to see some examples of peer review, you can take a look at some of the other groups' docs. It doesn't have to be anything long – just something to show you've had a look at the other groups' work. If it works best for your group, you can also nominate one person per week to represent your group and do the peer review.
Please review Group 9 ASAP. We will leave our facilitator feedback on the docs this afternoon, and it would be most beneficial for you as well as the group you leave feedback for if your reviews were left before we post our comments.
The link to Week 6's google folder is HERE.
Let me know if I can help in any way!
Its also very important to understand that the first two to three weeks are a bit rough for learners – they're confused and they have lots of questions and issues. We received anywhere from 15 to 30 emails a week and at least five calls, asking general questions about the course, the platform, google docs, etc. We nearly always responded to these on the same day and offered as much support as needed. A quick response to a simple question can be the deciding factor between a learner getting frustrated and dropping out or being satisfied and feeling supported and staying in the course.
This initial confusion is also why we went with a two-week introduction period, and we think this really helps with the retention rate. It gave the learners a chance to ask questions, sort out their issues and concerns and get comfortable with the course, the platform, the collaboration tools, and their groups.
2. Associate a course with a known, respected entity
Our course was associated with the NCU of Australia, which is very well known and respected. We deal with teachers on a daily basis, and most of our NCU affiliated teachers/librarians were the first to sign up for the course and have been our biggest supporters and promoters.
In addition to past participants spreading the word, we promoted the course through our school connections in Australia – through teachers whom we've given advice, the Copyright Advisory Group (each State/Territory in Australia as well as each sector has a representative), teacher organizations, and our website (http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/) which is the official guide to copyright issues for Australian Schools and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions. Once we did our initial promotional blitz, the promotion largely took off on its own, making its way onto numerous listservs and teacher associations that we didn't previously know existed.
So the association helped with the initial promotion of the course, but we also believe the reputation of the NCU encouraged teachers to sign up for the course: it made teachers feel more comfortable asking questions/contacting us, it decreased the numbers of dropouts, and we also found that many employers, such as school deans, required their teaching staff to take the course.
Incorporating the course into NCU's daily workload also allowed us to quickly and effectively respond to questions/issues with the course.
3. Arrange groups to encourage conversation and cohesiveness
In the first week of the course, we only asked our learners to fill out a questionnaire and have a look around the course. With the information from the questionnaire, we created 15 groups of four. We also took group requests, which frequently came from teachers at the same school. If groups were not requested, we arranged groups based on school location, level and sector to encourage conversation and commonality between group members. In the second week of the course, we only asked our students to meet their group and to decide on how their group would collaborate. Group members got to know each other and supported each other over the course of the seven weeks, and we think this group cohesiveness really encouraged group members to stay committed to the group and the course (as well as have more fun!).
Peer support
As an example, we had one student who was going to drop out because she needed to have surgery in the third week of the course, and she would be unable to type for a week or two. She consulted us, and we told her to first discuss the problem with her group to see if they could work something out. She did this, and they became somewhat of a support group for her and they worked out that she would lead discussion in the weeks leading up to her surgery (which they mainly did via email) and then the weeks she couldn't type she participated via a weekly Skype session with her group.
We've also been told by a number of groups that they all plan to keep in touch with each other to discuss any copyright questions and what's going on in their classrooms/schools.
Overall, we believe the course was very successful. Not only because of the retention rate but also because people enjoyed it! They're telling others about the course, they learnt the information, and if they ever have any questions or issues they now know where to find the information.
Comments OffWelcome to the CC community, intergovernmental organizations
We're pleased to announce a new suite of Creative Commons licenses specifically designed for intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). IGOs produce a wide array of valuable information and content, ranging from scholarly and scientific papers to environmental data. Just like other creators who seek wide dissemination of their works to achieve maximal impact, IGOs benefit from using CC's well understood and widely adopted licenses.
Since the 2011 CC Global Summit in Warsaw, and in tandem with our 4.0 license development process, we've been working closely with IGOs to understand and find acceptable ways to address their unique needs in our licenses. The process mirrored the porting process used for the 3.0 licenses, which addresses specific needs of jurisdictions. Additionally, we have been working closely on adoption opportunities so that the valuable content IGOs produce can be reused around the globe under our standard licenses. For example, the World Bank leverages CC's licenses as part of its impressive open access policy, and Commonwealth of Learning has adopted an OER policy under which it will release its own materials using CC licenses.
CC and IGO working group participants announced the results of this effort today. From the press release:
"The more that everyone can access and use the important work of IGOs, the more impactful they are," Creative Commons co-founder Lawrence Lessig said. "By publishing their information and data under Creative Commons licenses, these organizations are giving anyone on the planet the right to read and share those materials."
You can learn more about the IGO licenses on our wiki, where you can also find specific considerations that licensees should be aware of when using a work under these new licenses.
Congratulations to everyone! We look forward to seeing more and more IGOs joining the commons.

Comments OffGive open: CC's holiday shopping list
If you're scurrying for gifts this year, consider giving open. We've put together this list of a few of our favorite openly licensed gifts. What did we miss? Add your favorites to the comments.
Sita Sings the Blues merchandise
Not only is Sita a great film, but it has some of the most unique and beautiful merchandise ever. I've actually always thought this was the success of her business model – having things people actually want to buy. I've always been particularly fond of the peacock phonograph pendant. Review by Jessica Coates
xkcd volume 0
The first collection of the best geek comic out there. There's something for everyone in this volume, whether they're a lover, a gamer or a mathematician. There's even something for us copyright geeks, with the complete adventures of Doctorow, Lessig, et al in their complete superhero garb. Review by Jessica Coates
Open Design Now
Open Design Now is been one of the most thought-provoking books I've read this year on openness. It's available for free online under a Creative Commons license or available for purchase as a hard copy. Highly recommended read for anyone interested in the intersection of open design and physical objects. Review by Paul Stacey
This Stool Rocks
Yup, it's a rocking stool. It's such an elegant innovation in design that once you see it, you wonder why it took so long for someone to think of it. If you have access to a CNC machine, you can download the CC-licensed design and build your own. Assmbly will make one for you, and even carve your logo on the seat, but order now: there's a waiting list. Review by Elliot Harmon
Cards Against Humanity
One of the best card games out there, perfect for long nights with good friends and a bottle of whisky. Like Apples for Apples, but far more surreal and less suitable for children. Download the whole thing from their website and spend hours turning it into a neat game; or just shell out $25 and get the pretty one to begin with. Also available in Spanish, Dutch, pirate and many other languages thanks to its CC license and fan translations. Review by Jessica Coates
The Phylo trading card game is a CC licensed online initiative aimed at creating a Pokemon-like resource but using photos of real animals and plants as a means of helping children learn about biodiversity. Review by Paul Stacey
Group Works
Sticking with cards, I also really like the Group Works pattern cards. These are really useful for anyone who plans meetings, conferences, retreats, and other group sessions. If you are a facilitator, these cards help you plan and create meaningful events. You can download the free, CC-licensed deck or purchase one. Review by Paul Stacey
Dead Unicorn: Pandemic
Dead Unicorn makes melodic pop-punk music that's surprisingly fun, given their fixation on writing songs about disease. They're also the guys behind my favorite "about CC" video ever. Earlier this year, the band Kickstarted Pandemic and printed a limited run on colored vinyl (they identify the color as "piss yellow.") Give it to your weird nephew who thinks you aren't cool. Review by Elliot Harmon
Public Domain Review prints
If you're not already following The Public Domain Review (a project of our friends at The Open Knowledge Foundation), you should be. Every day, they post a new find from the endless supply of public domain treasures and oddities. This year, the PDR launched a store full of public domain goodies to help raise money. My favorite is the print of an 1887 woodcut designed to teach Japanese children English words. Review by Elliot Harmon
Team Open trading cards
Of course we had to sneak ourselves onto this list. We worked with the webcartoonist Luke Surl on the drawings for our Team Open interview project. We think he perfectly captured the spirit of the subjects we interviewed. Everyone who donates $25 (USD) or more to CC gets their own complete set of trading cards.

German Cookbook: The American Way
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this crisply written, thoroughly accessible book designed for the home chef, author William D. Setzekorn has adapted a full repertoire of recipes handed down through the generations. Representatives of the cuisine brought to the United States by German immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century, this treasure trove of family favorites has been adapted to suit the contemporary American kitchen. All ingredients are readily available in any market and many convenience products have been integrated without compromising the authenticity of the dishes. A full range of courses is offered here: appetizers like chicken liver pâté and stuffed mushrooms; potato, asparagus and chicken soups; a surprising array of seafood choices. There is an assortment of interesting preparations for game birds - pheasant in orange sauerkraut and duckling braised in red cabbage; roast goose with fruit stuffing. For the heartiest appetites there are plenty of savory roast, schnitzels and stews, creamed vegetables and many variations on the ubiquitous cabbage. Still hungry for something sweet...try German pancakes or one of the strudel, kuchen or cookie recipes. This is an ethnic cookbook, but one so full of homey comfort foods of any American kitchen that the German-American Cookbook will be a popular addition to any home culinary library.

Burton boss Gary Rowett thought his team stood up well to claim a 1-1 draw against an in-form Chesterfield on Saturday.
The visitors went in front through Jacques Maghoma and held it until Marc Richards rescued a deserved point with his fourth goal of the season, although Chesterfield had Jack Lester sent off in stoppage time.
Rowett said: "I'm really proud. It was an excellent performance and you've got to appreciate this was a team that beat Cheltenham 4-1 here.
"I was thoroughly pleased with the performance. We wanted to contain them and although we couldn't hang on for the win, it was a very good point against a very good side.
"They have spent a lot of money and invested really well. They've got some terrific players - I wouldn't mind one or two of them in my team - so it was a thoroughly good away performance."

It can be. But then so many things can be also so it can go either way. Increased CM is also a sign of progesterone and that's present after we ovulate whether we're pregnant or not. Try testing the day you expect your next AF. GL!

stock is at historically oversold levels but in this sick market no one cares
$8 to $22 isn't enough?
so where are the actual earnings disappointments and lumpy revenues to account for a 40% drop in s/p? I see a company that reported unexpected profits and keeps gaining market share market is very sick
bdr chart looked promising there for awhile before the boys found it take her to zero boys
Funny isn't it? I guess they merged. DLGY is a pump and dump stock because of the high short interest and low float.

Add a CommentThis book is really strong and has made me cry actually in some chapters. I recommend this. ^-^
Chains was a really good book! I liked the fact that it told the readers a lot about what was happening in the Revolutionary war and the different perspectives from different people including the main character Isabel, a slave who only wants to be freed. I definitely would recommend this book.
This is an amazing and very intense book. i recommend it for all historical fiction lovers. Make sure to read FORGE because CHAINS ends at a cliff-hanger!
When you read the topic, you find out that its historical fiction, and about slaves. that didnt sound very interesting to me, but i had to read it for book club. so i did and it turned out to be one of my all time favorite books!! i recomend this to anyone, especially when you have to read a historical fiction book, this is a book i would choose over many fiction books, and re-read it many times!! READ IT!
This book was great! I loved it. It was so realistic for that time period. Like, you felt you were really there with Isabel. The book really illustrated in my mind what is was like back then and it made me really want the next book.
After reading Fever, 1783 by Anderson I was excited to read another book done in the same fashion. The aforementioned title made me excited about historical fiction and my students thoroughly enjoyed the read as well. However, this was a difficult book to complete due to the dry plot. It seemed more focused on the enormous amount of research Anderson obviously completed to craft a historically sound fictional book. Despite the lackluster plot, the story is a noteworthy one that needs to be shared (just in a more plot-driven fashion). I found the debate among the slaves for refraining or joining the War a dynamic one that has great merit for either argument. When the characters have a dialogue about whether all men are created equal and have the right to pursue happiness, I valued how Anderson conquered the challenge slaves would have with wanted to believe they too could be included in that notion. When Isabel gets inspired to finally leave her cruel mistress, it's ironic that Thomas Paine's Common Sense motivated her to find her River Jordan since his intended audience was likely not slaves.
In a nutshell, Isabel is forced into slavery by a Loyalist family that doesn't even value the life of the elderly mother-in-law, after she and her younger sister have been promised their freedom by their former owners. Isabel suffers an identity crisis after being branded like cattle once she learns her owner has sold her 5-year-old sister. Amidst the height of the Revolutionary War, she often shifts her efforts between the Rebels and the Loyalists depending on which side suits her present needs. Again it is a worthwhile story, but I find it difficult to believe that a young reader under the age of 15 would read this book from cover to cover without heavy encouragement and assistance from a book club group or adult's guidance.
Very very good book!!!
worthwhile read. Viewpoints of the author can be a little deceived though. Otherwise it is very good and is full of the lives of many slaves in the past.
I preread all novels that my daughter would like to read. That being said I truly find that this novel is a great find for young girls all over the world. As a mother you want the very best for your children and you hope that you can truly inspire them to become great adults. This book has helped me show my daughter that we are very blessed to be born free and that there is a whole lot of young girls in the world that do not and did not have the same opportunities that she does. I am very excited that she has become excited about this book and we are searching for the next part of the series.
Add Age SuitabilitySummary
Add a Summaryshe gets taken away from her family and put on sell and she gets sold to a white man and is always getting beat and she loses her bestfriend so she keeps wondering when it is going to end?
Isabel has to be a slave. She has to suffer when her sister is taken.
She escapes with a boy named curzon.

The art world is buzzing today with news that the country of Qatar recently spent more than $250 million to acquire Paul Cézanne's The Card Players.
The price absolutely smashes previous records for expensive works of art. But it's no huge surprise that the record-breaking purchase should have been made by oil-rich Qatar, which, in the past few years, has quietly become the world's biggest buyer of modern art.
Not only is the country amassing art at a tremendous speed, it's also investing heavily in several major projects, including exhibitions by Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, The Art Newspaper reported.
The Arab emirate also pulled off a major coup last summer when it poached Christie's chairman Edward Dolman to oversee art acquisitions for the Qatar Museums Authority.
And it just dropped $250 MILLION on a Cézanne.
