The parade of mourners is long, the mood dark. Everywhere you look, technologists proclaim victory against the war on the printed word. They point to falling print sales and blame young people for their technological prowess and alleged short attention spans. They paint older folk as relics of a dying, unenlightened age, making fun of our reluctance to text or post Google-map links to the best early bird specials. They even cite rising illiteracy and poor school scores as evidence that we have somehow "outgrown" print and "no longer read."
They wish.
Chant it, sing it, post it on Facebook… It doesn't make it so.
People are reading. In fact, more people are reading now and buying books than ever before. According to an online British article by The Guardian's Lloyd Shepherd titled, "The Death of Books Has Been Greatly Exaggerated" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/aug/30/death-books-exaggerated), there was a 42% increase in book sales over the last ten years (in Britain, and no I don't know how many emails were hacked to get the figures). What led to the ongoing suffering of writers and publishers on both sides of the pond despite those stellar numbers was the control of pricing those books – and everyone was ok with the standard until technology arrived. Even in Britain, "Publishers are no longer paying advances to authors, or if they are these advances are a fraction of what they were."
The answer to why is worse than simply "e-books;" it is what e-culture is doing to the arts; it is the proverbial bull in the china shop. Advocates of technology are quick to give away products of the humanities, to minimize the effort and dedication it takes to make culture more than a series of haphazard "fads." This is cheapening our entire cultural heritage and insulting those who labor in the creative sector.
For writers and publishing, e-books represent a shift in cultural thinking: that everybody elses' everything else should be free. It starts with one thing (in this case, e-books) and cascades downhill from there. A cheaper book becomes impossible to produce and publishing momentum impossible to maintain, the publishing model which evolved over centuries of human endeavor cannot be sustained: authors can't be paid enough to write as a career; publishers can't retain the "top talent" (so trumpeted by Wall Street but making significantly less than bankers) to ensure that what is published is done so to meet professional and literary standards. Envelopes cannot be pushed, chances cannot be taken, or new authors or new story ideas gambled upon…Creativity is stifled from all sides.
But if things look bleak now with "just" this rampant discounting, it stands to get so much more damaging. Says Shepherd, "What's worse, [even] these e-books will collapse in value, because that is what today's younger consumers want, as demonstrated by the online shift in free news…And all the time the relentless combination of pirating, retail competition and the demands of younger consumers means that the price of every piece of content – a song, a film, a book – trends toward zero."
So first off, about those young consumers: just because they want access doesn't mean they are thieves and don't care if J.K. Rowling misses an occasional meal. But they are young: they have cash and big eyes for everything they want just like their over-indulging parents flirting with the one percent. It's human nature: if you can get it for pennies, why not? The solution is simple: don't offer it for pennies. If they want it, let them ask for higher allowances, or get a job like the people who made whatever it is they want. Give them boundaries, and let them be kids.
Secondly, if they don't read anymore, please explain the rush to "free" online news and the tender embrace of the e-book it is claimed they are driving. Maybe it is the neat pictures that can be cut-and-pasted without permission since their reading scores are so reportedly abysmal… But I personally think this is another load of…mythology. I don't see "more" people – young or old – reading news online. I see less people reading news... And caring less about it, which disturbs me more. When news media had reporters in every city covering every conceivable thing, we were more aware of that "global community" technology keeps promoting. Now I'm more aware of Jessica Simpson's choice of baby diaper that what is happening in the Middle East…Where our troops are…Where your SUV's oil comes from…
Thirdly, somebody steals from you only as long as you let them. The music industry was the first to fight back, and I for one applaud them. If it is the shrinking price of e-books that is costing jobs and opportunities in publishing, then maybe it is time for publishing to find out how badly they would be missed if nothing is sold through Amazon.
The argument that the market couldn't bear the cost increase is ludicrous. Look at the number of consumers flocking to natural food stores willing to pay four times the cost for the chance to eat "organic." How many of us pay more for make-up not tested on animals, or to recycle our products, or to ensure farm animals are treated humanely? People pay for what they think is worth it. People who don't want to pay the cost of what it takes to bring a book from a writer's imagination to a finely edited, polished product that can entertain, inspire, teach, or comfort are just not worth courting. Yet they are the first to complain that there is nothing good at the theater, no real quality fiction making it to the shelves…or cyberspace. Quality doesn't come cheap. And if you think it is tough just fixing dinner after a "40-hour"workweek that typically includes overtime and a long commute or under-time and a second job, try squeezing a novel out of that tiny unnamed orifice.
Book sales are up because people like to read. But nobody likes to be robbed. Every time a book is bought at discount, the author gets deuced out of earned royalties and some writer somewhere doesn't get published. The more consumers gleefully scout books at brick-and-mortar stores and buy online, the less new books are finding publishers. There's a tipping point somewhere in there. But five cents for a pile of poo is still a pile of poo. With consumers complaining about the popularity of bad singers getting astronomical hits on You-Tube, the result of this "free is better" mentality should be obvious. For everyone who cringes at bad singing, bad writing, bad art… "listen up" as they say in the South: once again, you get what you pay for.
Furthermore, if prices continue to plummet, once the established authors' remainders are sold off, and the warehouses are emptied, your selection choices are going to shrink. Check the Horror Aisle in your last remaining bookstore if you don't believe me. In fact, check any aisle. You are likely to find – even now – only established and top-selling authors carrying their genres. For anyone who ever "discovered" second tier authors who usually only suffer from second tier marketing or genre deficiencies – this is devastating news and you know the true loss this implies. Not everyone likes Stephen King. Some prefer Bentley Little. What will you do if publishers start to pick one over the other for cost reasons? What if you want to know what new writers are out there? What old writers were underground classics?
Tanith Lee where are you? Caitlan Kiernan? Ambrose Bierce?
Is all that worth the cheaper price of a book?
Let's be clear: I am not anti-technology; I'm a dinosaur and this is not my first meteor shower. I see the benefits from being able to control marketing and an author profile, in being able to deliver the goods from innovative grass-roots to a hungry public that might find indie styles appealing. However there is a reason traditional publishing is an entity to worry over: it remains the measuring stick of literary quality in most cases. It means people educated in the business of writing and fluent in the history of literature have opened those hallowed gates and the author has become one with the cosmos and literary tradition. Some semblance of that dedication to standards has to survive this technological revolution or we might as well go back to painting mammoths on cave walls for entertainment.
I suppose that was too saccharine for some. But as a struggling novice writer I know whereof I speak. Traditional publishing is the Holy Grail for a writer…not the nearly extinct writer's advance, not the book-signings, the author tours, or raised eyebrows of awe when you get introduced to crowds. It is the professional recognition that you have met the industry's expectations and the proximity to the dream of someday entering the literary canon. It means technique met imagination and the marriage was good. It meant all those revisions were a part of expertise and artistic decision – not just guessing in the dark, not some revenge fantasy of flaunting one's intellectual wiles at the 20-year high school reunion. Real writers don't write because of money. But real writers have bills. And so do publishers who publish them.
Horror as a genre is being swallowed up by other genres, cross-marketed, and downsized. It is no coincidence that this is happening at the same time that e-books and Amazon are putting the screws to publishers. And if it hasn't happened to other genres yet, it will: just look at Westerns…that is your reading future: three shelves in your local bookstore, four or five authors deemed worthy, and used copies of great novels found only in retrospective collections. Thank heavens, you say, they are safe online in e-books. Don't count on it: wills and estates will catch up…there is legacy involved here you know, and cemetery upkeep. Maybe you can wait 75 years past the author's death to get your free e-book, but I for one prefer to pay my $29.95 right now, and know my investment paid for the sequel.
So quit blaming young folks who are preternaturally tech savvy, old folks who like their news folded on the kitchen table, and publishers who "don't get it." We all get it: it's about the money. And as usual, those who are making most of it don't want to share.
Maybe if we all think about the "publishing crisis" and stop waiting for it to miraculously to "get better" more of us could actually make a living doing what we do best...
When someone reads the menu, click your right hand. When someone comes up and asks "What do you have?" or "How much does it cost?" click your left hand.
You will find that less than ten percent of the American public knows how to read, and more important, bothers to read.
This is why magazines are dying, bookstores are dying, why authors are not paid anything for writing anything anywhere, and why everything you said is wrong. Americans don't know how to read, and many who do know, don't bother.
The second major problem is the control of knowledge. There are already instances where literature in e-books has been withdrawn by censors of various kinds so that they cease to exist. At least a solid book can be safely retained and passed around at no cost. Public libraries ensure that even the poorest people can read a good book and do research without payment of some sort of royalty. I have read that some greedy publishers even want libraries to pay fees for having sessions of reading stories to kids. The voracious greed of capitalism is strangling all sorts of necessary public services. A solid book does not easily disappear in the way an e-book can be made to vanish entirely. This permanence must be retained.
These are fundamental problems and they must be solved to the satisfaction and financial reward of creators of knowledge and entertainment and the necessities of dissemination of creative works. The old systems are completely obsolete.
I gotta go my research to keep up with him.
He sez:
". What is needed is a totally new system of properly rewarding editors and creators of knowledge and almost nothing in that area is being even considered, not to speak of any accomplishments."
Ya don't gotta be like 200 yrs old to know this.. on he goes..
"The second major problem is the control of knowledge
This permanence must be retained. "
Only way
to retain permanence is to
Bring MEMES home , old boy. All the old ones, that u belevved in once..wherein:
" fundamental problems and .. must be solved to the satisfaction
and financial reward of creators of knowledge and entertainment and the necessities of dissemination of creative works. The old systems are completely obsolete."
You old man are kinda thhe NEW old young souls such as me, for one, ha.
Dispute that shit , old boy………
Arg to you…
you so old, yer cells are from, like, 90 yrs ago?
replenished every 7yrs.too bad old scold. ay!
"However there is a reason traditional publishing is an entity to worry over: it remains the measuring stick of literary quality in most cases."
LOL! You are kidding, aren't you? A look at publishers' list and the bestseller list will dispel any notion that publishers create literary culture. Ghost written novels by Snooki and Kim Kardashian, I could go on forever. Look at the phenomena of Fifty Shades of Gray. It's utter trash, has no lierary merit, but it sold so many copies as a self-published book that Vintage acquired the trilogy for a seven figure advance.
"Traditional publishing is the Holy Grail for a writer…not the nearly extinct writer's advance, not the book-signings, the author tours, or raised eyebrows of awe when you get introduced to crowds. It is the professional recognition that you have met the industry's expectations and the proximity to the dream of someday entering the literary canon."
I don't want to be cruel, but you don't know what you're talking about. I've been traditionally published. I got a big thrill out of holding my book in my hands when I received my author's copies. It lasted a couple of days. Wow! I've entered the same literary canon that encompasses celebrity dreck and s&m sex novels and the Twilight series and so on.
You're a sucker for propaganda issuing forth from traditional publishers. They don't like inexpensive ebooks because they'd rather sell you an overpriced hardcover, and when they issue the Kindle edition, which requires almost no additional expense, they give the author 25% and keep the lion's share.
Traditional publisher's hate ebooks because authors self-publishing at Amazon keep 70% of every ebook sold that is priced $2.99 or above.
All your arguments have been addressed and refuted by author Joe Konrath, one of the many writers who have done spectacularly well self-publishing. You should go read his blog.
If being an English major at the University of Colorado has taught me nothing else, it has taught me to never make unsupported statements. While there may be some argument as to whether the UAPA-type organizations constitute indie presses, I offer the supported statement that members paid dues to operate the organization and therefore might be legally considered co-owners of their organization's specific publication, The United Amateur; additionally Lovecraft published two separate magazines on his own as supported below. Note that Weird Tales did not begin publication until 1923. So for those who find my statement that H.P. Lovecraft was self-published, I offer these references and statements of support:
From Donald Tyson
His credentials: Canadian author of the Lovecraft biography The Dream World of H.P. Lovecraft, endorsed by S.T. Joshi for its "sound biographical knowledge."

"At age 24-25 (1915) His first article for The United Amateur, official literary organ of the UAPA is published in January; also begins to publish his own amateur journal The Conservative – 13 issues published between 1915-23…." (249);
"The United Amateur Press Association (UAPA) …did not refer to newspaper reporting, but to the small printing press…the UAPA was composed of amateur writers who published their own little magazines out of their private funds and circulated them among their friends and family" (61) "Lovecraft joined the group on April 6, 1914" (62).
"Members of the UAPA paid a yearly fee…each member was encouraged to publish his or her own periodical, and to write poems, stories, and articles for the periodicals of other members. Copies of the periodicals were exchanged among members by mail…(62)

"…on the other hand, we have his many juvenile treatises on chemistry and astronomy, as well as his amateur periodicals The Scientific Gazette (1899-1909) and the Rhode Island Journal of Astronomy (1903-1909)…." (2)
Edward F. Daas of the United Amateur Press Association (UAPA) urged…Lovecraft…to join the order, and Lovecraft promptly did so…The UAPA (and its rival the National Amateru Press Association, which Lovecraft later joined) was a group of amateur writers who wrote and published their own journals – some of them very crude, others quite distinguished…Lovecraft…edited thirteen issues of his own paper The Conservative…" (3)

She began producing the horror portion of the pioneering professional Web publication OMNI Online in 1996 and became the Literature Editor of Universal Studios' HorrorOnline in October 1998. Mentor and editor for The Spook, former fiction editor Gothic.net, and too much more to list here, I refer you to the biographical source: http://www.darkecho.com/darkecho/web/about.html
Quoted Source: New Cthulhu: the Recent Weird, editor, Prime Books, c2011, ISBN 9781607012894:
"Lovecraft was saved from his life of solitude when he became involved in amateur writing and publishing... his story The Alchemist (written in 1908 when he was 18) was published in The United Amateur in 1916…
I hope that puts my position in perspective...
I predict there wil be a backlash soon, much as you called for. After all, if the music industry chose to get with it, publishing can only look as if it's cheapening itself by not following suit.
Nice article.
I would add one perspective: I was a horror junky starting in the mid-seventies, when the genre really took off. It rose, then fell - some years back Barnes and Noble quietly removed it from their shelves as a genre (perhaps they should have done so with an evil cackle.)
The genre of horror fell because too many authors were published, and most of them could not write. I kept buying new writer's books and again and again finding I couldn't finish them.
Stephen King lasted because he's (mostly) good. Why Dean Koontz survived is anyone's guess - not because I read him any more. Some of the better guys like Robert McGammon, Whitely Strieber and Clive Barker abandoned the genre.
Fortunately, horror has recently crawled part way out of its grave - bits of it show up in writers of the new genre of thrillers - like Michael Marshall and John Connolly.

powp83703wrote a review of Mountainsmith Conifer 5+ Tent 5-Person 3-Season on June 27, 2014
A Good Family Tent
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was a little wary after reading some reviews of this tent, but decided to go for it anyway. I was looking for something for easy family camping - backyard camping, car camping, camping in good weather. This tent is great for that. It's goes up pretty quickly and comes down quick too. I like how the poles are designed to just slide out of the clips.
cons: I'm not used to a tent this tall. The first couple times I set it up, I realized I forgot some clips and had to partially take things apart to redo it. The height also makes the fly more difficult to attach than it is on a smaller tent.
Also, I ordered the footprint to go with it. I'm not a fan of how the footprint is designed to cover the vestibule space as well. In one night of steady rain, we had a puddle in the tent from where it ran in an pooled in between the tent floor and the footprint. I guess that can be fixed with figuring out how to set it up better.
Overall, I love it as a nice and easy family tent. My main solo tent is a Sierra Designs. This is no S.D.!, but it is good for what I wanted out of it.

Well I think the worst of the sins is greed, simply because people do bad things just because they are greedy, just because they want something. I think it's the worst thing you can do, people shouldn't care about things so much. Sadly, I think greed is the thing people sin with the most thesedays.
I have most of the other sins I think, I have pride and I don't see how it's bad, it just means I won't do things that dishonour me. I guess it's ment to be pride over other people, well I don't think I'm better than anyone in this case. But I always want to be the best
I am a sloth too sometimes, because I like to sleep for long, long hours. I'm not sloth in the way that I don't want to do things though, if I'm aksed I'll do it imediately, if I see something is needed to done, I do it... But I sure like to sleep and play games
I can have wrath too.. I can be very angry at someone, I can attack a person (mostly with words tho...), but I won't say it's like a great sin I have either, I mean I have to stand up for myself at least sometimes!!! i thought it's a bad thing that I don't
And I surely have envy, I even have envy towards my bf friends just because they can spend more time with them! And I have envy towards anyone who gets better grades than me. I guess the jelousy towards my bf's friends isn't a very good thing, but as he says- it just proves how much I love him. The envy towards better grades I think is a good thing, because it simply makes me try harder next time and do better next time.

The importance of standards for data exchange and interchange on the Royal Society of Chemistry eScience platforms
Posted by tony in ACS Meetings, Chemical Database Service, ChemSpider Chemistry, ChemSpider Syntheses, ChemSpider SyntheticPages, CINF, Community Building, Data Quality, Division of Chemical Information, InChI, PharmaSea, Presentations, Publications and Presentations on September 12, 2013
This is my seventh and LAST talk at the ACS Meeting in Indianapolis:
The importance of standards for data exchange and interchange on the Royal Society of Chemistry eScience platforms
The Royal Society of Chemistry provides access to a number of databases hosting chemicals data, reactions, spectroscopy data and prediction services. These databases and services can be accessed via web services utilizing queries using standard data formats such as InChI and molfiles. Data can then be downloaded in standard structure and spectral formats allowing for reuse and repurposing. The ChemSpider database integrates to a number of projects external to RSC including Open PHACTS that integrates chemical and biological data. This project utilizes semantic web data standards including RDF. This presentation will provide an overview of how structure and spectral data standards have been critical in allowing us to integrate many open source tools, ease of integration to a myriad of services and underpin many of our future developments.
The Social Profile of a Chemist Online
Posted by tony in ACS Meetings, AltMetrics, ChemConnector, ChemSpider SyntheticPages, CINF, Community Building, Division of Chemical Information, Presentations, Publications and Presentations on September 11, 2013
This is my fifth talk at the ACS Indianapolis Conference:
The Social Profile of a Chemist Online – The Potential Profits of Participation
Unless a scientist is limited by their employer from exposing their scientific activities through publications and presentations, their future impact, whether expected to be at a bench, in front of an instrument or surrounded by robotics, will largely be represented online through their published works, their citation profile and other forms of recognition of their work by their peers. Search engines are already harvesting information about a scientist and aggregating into profiles such as those offered by Google Scholar Citations and Microsoft Academic Search. Rather than be limited to the online representation provided by such services students are encouraged to participate in the creation of their online profile and architect the representation of themselves online to as large a degree as possible to represent themselves to future employers and collaborators. This presentation will give an overview of potential approaches to participating in development of their online persona.
Personal experiences in participating in the expanding social networks for science
Posted by tony in ACS Meetings, AltMetrics, ChemConnector, Chemicals and our Health, ChemSpider SyntheticPages, CINF, Community Building, Division of Chemical Information on September 9, 2013
This is the third presentation I gave at the ACS Meeting in Indianapolis:
Personal experiences in participating in the expanding social networks for science
The number of social networking sites available to scientists continues to grow. We are being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data. We have many ways to contribute, annotate and curate, many of them as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. As one of the founders of the online ChemSpider database I was drawn into the world of social networking to participate in the discussions that were underway regarding our developing resource. As a result of my experiences in blogging, and as a result of developing collaborations and engagement with a large community of scientists, I have become very immersed in the expanding social networks for science. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways that I expose my scientific activities online. Many of these activities will ultimately contribute to the developing measures of me as a scientist as identified in the new world of alternative metrics.
Accessing chemical health and safety data online using Royal Society of Chemistry resources
Posted by tony in ACS Meetings, Chemicals and our Health, ChemSpider Chemistry, CINF, Community Building, Data Quality, Division of Chemical Information, Mobile Chemistry, Presentations, Publications and Presentations, Quality and Content on September 9, 2013
This is the second presentation I gave at the ACS Meeting in Indianapolis
Accessing chemical health and safety data online using Royal Society of Chemistry resources
The internet has opened up access to large amounts of chemistry related data that can be harvested and assembled into rich resources of value to chemists. The Royal Society of Chemistry's ChemSpider database has assembled an electronic collection of over 28 million chemicals from over 400 data sources and some of the assembled data is certainly of value to those searching for chemical health and safety information. Since ChemSpider is a text and structure searchable database chemists are able to find relevant information using both of their general search approaches. This presentation will provide an overview of the types of chemical health and safety data and information made available via ChemSpider and discuss how the data are sourced, aggregated and validated. We will examine how the data can be made available via mobile devices and examine the issue of data quality and its potential impacts on such a database.
The future of scientific information & communication presented at the SUNY Potsdam Academic Festival
Posted by tony in AltMetrics, Chemical Database Service, ChemSpider Chemistry, Community Building, ImpactStory, Open Access Publishing, Open Science..all its forms on April 13, 2013
This is a LONG presentation….I talk about the "It's All About Me" attitude that can positively feed science….we want to share OUR science, we want people to know about our opinions, our activities, our collaborators, we want to get funding, recognition and attribution. And why not…it can all be to the benefit of science.
This presentation was given at the SUNY Potsdam Academic Festival
The future of scientific information & communication
Our access to scientific information has changed in ways that were hardly imagined even by the early pioneers of the internet. The immense quantities of data and the array of tools available to search and analyze online content continues to expand while the pace of change does not appear to be slowing. While scientists now have access to the enormous capacities and capability of the internet the vast majority of scientific communication continues to be through peer-reviewed scientific journals. The measure of a scientist's contribution is primarily represented by their publication profile and the citations to their published works and offers an incomplete view of their activities. However, we are at the beginning of a new revolution where the ability to communicate offers the opportunity to embrace new forms of publishing and where scientific participation and influence will be measured in new ways. This presentation will provide an overview of our new generation of "openness" in which open source, open standards, open access and open data are proliferating. The future of scientific information and communication will be underpinned by these efforts, influenced by increasing participation from the scientific community and facilitated collaboration and ultimately accelerate scientific progress.
Olympicene Now Has a Wikipedia Article
Posted by tony in Community Building, Olympicene, Wikipedia Chemistry on May 31, 2012
The story about Olympicene was released earlier this week to great fanfare online. I discussed the details here. There has been so much press with comments made online on the websites of Popular Science, Scientific American, BBC News, the Huffington Post and many others that I wondered whether it would be appropriate to suggest an article get written for Wikipedia.
Now, I am VERY concerned with notability on Wikipedia, as evidenced by my post here about notability. I think Olympicene is "notable". I am also concerned with being flagged with conflict of interest as I was involved with the Olympicene project. My intention was to ask the community to participate in writing the article. However, after checking Wikipedia I was happy to find that the community already got to it. In two days 9 authors had already worked on the article! I checked the View History logs…I don't know who ANY of them are….so I am not in conflict of interest there either by asking someone to write it!
The Wikipedia article on Olympicene is here. It would be ideal to get the color image up there for dramatic effect as well as the original concept details when Olympicene was introduced, as well as at least some representatives of the synthetic path on ChemSpider SyntheticPages. I can't add them…I'll get flagged probably. I'd also link to the ScientistsDB article about Graham Richards as it is much richer than the one on Wikipedia.
Either way…from release to Wikipedia same day and nine authors in two days. Now that's community collaboration!
The Story of Olympicene from Concept to Completion
Posted by tony in ChemSpider SyntheticPages, Community Building, Olympicene on May 27, 2012
The story of Olympicene, and our intention to try and get it synthesized and analyzed, was first reported in August 2011 here. The original conversation was between Prof Graham Richards and I over a drink in Belgium at the RSC Editors Symposium in March 2010. The concept of having someone synthesize a small organic molecule that would be a molecular representation of a famous symbol of sport was a fascinating challenge. And, always one for a challenge, it was one that was pursued with great gusto!
Since we had started the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform recently I thought it was appropriate to kick off a grand vision discussion with Peter Scott, one of the editors of CSSP. My original idea that I bounced off of Peter was a big one…an international competition exposed to the chemistry community. Encourage chemistry labs around the world to submit their step-by-step syntheses to CSSP. We would be able to collect and expose all of this work to the entire chemistry community. We would set up a voting scheme for the community to give their input on what was the most elegant synthesis, the greenest, what had the best analytical data, what had the best write up. Not all categories were detailed at that time and would come later but the concept of bronze, silver and gold medal winners in an international chemistry competition made sense. We were really excited by the possibilities but for many reasons (read that as many distractions) we rolled the announcement out as a smaller announcement and encouraged participation as best as we could with a small engagement profile via this blog. It did seem to garner a lot of attention but as is common with such projects the participation was not as high as we expected. Nevertheless one lab did step up to participate in the project, the lab of David Fox Group at the University of Warwick. David is a colleague of Peter Scott's…small world…
David had one of his students pursue the synthesis, not only because the olympicene molecule might be an elegant piece of synthetic work, but also because some of the envisaged properties could well be of value (more on that later!). Anish started publishing his syntheses to CSSP in November of last year as listed here. You can see the Olympicene compound coming together step by step and yes, the final step is not yet reported! Once the compound was made then the possibilities of having it analyzed seemed rather interesting, especially having seen the work reported by IBM in 2009 regarding the single molecule imaging of pentacene. Also, I had followed the work of Marcel Jaspars, who I had known during my time working at ACD/Labs when I was working on Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation [1,2]. Marcel had recently worked on an NMR and microscopy imaging project to confirm a chemical compound structure. Again, small world. I asked Marcel for an intro to the researchers at IBM and we started a dialogue. Researchers at University of Warwick had already applied Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (Dr Giovanni Costantini and Ben Moreton at Warwick) and they then connected with Leo Gross with the idea of using the noncontact atomic force microscopy approach.
Within a fairly short period of time IBM had performed the very elegant work of imaging olympicene…just one of the images is shown below but there are others shown on the Flickr account.
A single olympicene molecule is just 1.2 nanometres in width, about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. This is beautiful! For whatever reason it looks like a molecule with a smile at the success of the work too!
The story of the work is described in this video below.
The work is not over yet! There is a research paper to come from the University of Warwick and IBM Research labs as there is definitely unique science that has come out of this work and definitely needs to be reported. That molecule, as it were, is "NOT just a pretty face". We will submit all the appropriate images and available analytical data onto ChemSpider and CSSP as time allows.
For now I simply smile at the story of a concept discussion between Graham and I that was taken into the hands of superb scientists and brought to fruition. Congratulations to ALL of those who worked on the project in David Fox's and Leo Gross's labs. Thanks to the marketing people at IBM, RSC and Warwick for bringing together all of the materials in a tight time frame to tell the story. My thanks to my colleagues at RSC who believed in the potential of this project and especially to Peter Scott for seeing the potential and willingly participating! This project is a great example of international collaboration and pushing science to its extremes. It was a pleasure to be involved if only at a concept level and HOPEFULLY I will get to meet the scientists who did the work sometime!
Staying Informed About my Citations Using Google Scholar Citations
Posted by tony in Community Building on May 8, 2012
I think the Google Scholar Citations resource is excellent. I was one of the fortunate ones that managed to get onto the system early and I signed on immediately and used it to aggregate my papers very easily and quickly as represented here. One of my favorite aspects of the system is how it keeps me informed, by emails direct to my inbox, that other papers are referencing papers for which I am an author. Today the email that hit me listed four such papers. A free service, regular updates and, as best as I can tell, working as advertised for me at least.

The Understanding Reporter from Nature.com
Posted by tony in Community Building, WiChempedia, Wikipedia Chemistry on March 31, 2012
I get interviewed quite regularly regarding ChemSpider, my views on Open Data and data quality on the internet, as well as general comments about the chemistry data explosion online. So, when I was interviewed recently for the online article "Chemistry's web of data expands" I was more than happy to give my thoughts regarding patent data coming online, data quality and the need for standards for handling chemistry data.
One of the parts of the conversation was regarding the work put in to clean up chemistry data on Wikipedia. What seems like an eternity ago I did "Dedicate Christmas Time to the Cause of Curating Chemistry on Wikipedia" and initiated a project to check every chemical compound on Wikipedia, bond by bond, atom by atom. However, I very quickly connected with Walkerma who then introduced me to a number of other Wikipedia Chemistry people. I started participating in IRC Chats with this group and we started exchanging comments about how we could move the project along. It was a pleasure to work with the team and while I did continue to participate it was nowhere near the level that I had contributed in the early days of the project. The project was a collaborative effort for sure, one of the best I have been involved with over the past few years.
When the original article on Nature.Com was published it stated "In fact, notes Williams, Wikipedia proved the most reliable source of structure information in that experiment – largely because he had led an effort to clean up the site's 13,000 structures." I definitely didn't want that statement in the article and had specifically requested that I was represented as being part of a collaborative effort. I did not lead the project…I was a part of it only. So, with a couple of email exchanges with the author of the article, Richard van Noorden, the language was changed to "In fact, notes Williams, Wikipedia proved the most reliable online source of structure information in that experiment – largely because of an effort to clean up the site's 13,000 pages about drugs and chemicals". It's a subtle edit but I definitely did not want to carry the responsibility for leading a project that was an ideal representation of crowdsourcing, collaboration and caring for chemistry on Wikipedia. And, to clarify…I know for a fact that all pages are not fully curated and validated yet…it's a long process!!!
Social networking tools as public representations of a scientist
Posted by tony in Community Building, General Communications, Open Science..all its forms, People in Science, Presentations, Publications and Presentations, ScientistsDB on March 29, 2012
This is one of my presentations at the ACS meeting today in San Diego regarding how to use social networking tools to expose yourself as a scientist
Social networking tools as public representations of a scientist
The web has revolutionized the manner by which we can represent ourselves online by providing us the ability to exposure our data, experiences and skills online via blogs, wikis and other crowdsourcing venues. As a result it is possible to contribute to the community while developing a social profile as a scientist. At present many scientists are still measured by their contributions using the classical method of citation statistics and a number of freely available online tools are now available for scientists to manage their profile. This presentation will provide an overview of tools including Google Scholar Citations and Microsoft Academic Search and will discuss how these are and other tools, when integrated with the ORCID identifier, may more fully recognize the collective contributions to science. I will also discuss how an increasingly public view of us as scientists online will likely contribute to our reputation above and beyond citations.

Showing 1 review for Farenheit TID-897NRB
Customer Review Summary for Farenheit TID-897NRB | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
February 9, 2011 | Had unit for almost a year now...revised review |
Review by
Dominic from michigan
I've had the Farenheit TID-897NRB for about a year now..this is a very honest review so please read
Screen Quality : 7/10 the matt finish on the screen is a bit much as im sure they made it this way to avoid glare. Most videos look pretty good but lack crispness, and color depth Ease Of Use : 4/10...the menu system on the player is very clunky and not well thought out. To get where you want, sometimes you have to navigate thru 5 other screen to get where you want. the manual is pretty bad, and you pretty much have to teach yourself through trial and error. Sound: everything sounds great except the bluetooth. I have a droid so i know its not my phone but thru bluetooth you lose all sound quality and about 50% of the volume...Its really only good for taking calls, and even then its hard to hear the person unless u crank it up. Remote: 1/10 there are 100 buttons, the manual doesn't explain what 95% of them do. Touchscreen: 4/10 the touchscreen works well, but i played most of my music off my sd card...Problem is, to navigate thru the card you cant use the touchscreen,,you have to use the arrow buttons on the remote..very dangerous. Once your into an album, you can then use the touchscreen to go forward and back thru songs but you are stuck in that folder/album untill you press stop with the remote, find the album you want, then press play on the remote. If you were to lose your remote, you pretty much could not use this unit Other: when you go to the next track on the sd card, the sound studders once, then starts, and you have to press the button twice to go forward or back songs. I notice that many times the unit would not power on till i pressed the reset button...then I had reset all my settings every time. This for some reason got better over time, but once and a while, i still have to reset the whole unit to get it to turn on When you shut your car off, the unit automatically closes every time.,you have no option to turn this on or off You should be able to display an album cover with each album folder while it plays,,The best you can do is display your screen saver, which never changes unless you do it manually, and once your screen saver comes up, you cant navigate thru your music without the remote. Overall the unit is good for the money, but it has many annoying quirks that you will just have to look past. i personally feel that 240$ is still alot of money, and you shouldnt have to "settle" for that.

Weingarten Realty Announces Great Progress With Portfolio Transformation
Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI), a leading owner, manager and developer of shopping centers, announced today significant progress in its portfolio transformation through numerous transactions.
Acquisition Activity
As previously reported, in the fourth quarter the Company acquired Mueller Regional Retail Center in Austin, Texas. Mueller is a 350,000 square foot power center anchored by Home Depot, Marshalls, Bed Bath & Beyond and PetSmart.
Additionally, the Company added to its investment at Queen Ann Marketplace in Seattle, Washington by purchasing the 15,034 square foot condominium interest for the Bartell Drugs store. This property is owned in a joint venture with Bouwinvest, where Weingarten owns 51%.
Acquisition activity for the fourth quarter and full year totaled $85.3 million and $174.6 million respectively. Disposition Activity During the fourth quarter, Weingarten sold three non-core properties and one land parcel for $38.6 million. The disposed properties include: 1. Northwest Crossing Shopping Center – Houston, Texas2. Market Street Shopping Center – Houston, Texas3. Lake Washington Square – Melbourne, Florida4. An outparcel (pad site) in Orlando, Florida For the full year 2013, Weingarten sold 33 properties, including three industrial buildings and six land parcels, comprising 3.9 million square feet for $278.3 million. Immediately subsequent to quarter end the Company sold an additional shopping center for $14.7 million, and has one other property that is expected to close shortly for $40.9 million. Additional Transformation Activity In addition to the ongoing acquisition and disposition activity described above, the Company completed two transactions with joint venture partners in the fourth quarter and an additional joint venture transaction in the first quarter of 2014. These transactions will have an immaterial impact on future earnings, but will simplify our financial structure, creating better balance sheet clarity. First, the Company reported that it closed on a multi-property transaction with affiliates of Miller Real Estate Investments in Denver, Colorado, effectively completing the dissolution of this relationship. The Company reported that it received the remaining 50% interest in River Point at Sheridan (two consolidated joint ventures), cash, and a small building in Salt Lake City, Utah in exchange for the Company's interest in two unconsolidated venture properties, Alpine Valley Center and 300 West, both in Salt Lake City. River Point is a 519,000 square foot power center anchored by Target and Costco who own their own facilities. The center is also anchored by Regal Cinema, Michaels and Tuesday Morning. This project includes 18.2 acres available for future development.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Police personnel attached to the anti-land grab cell on Saturday interrogated former minister for social welfare P. Geetha Jeevan for three hours in an alleged land scam involving N. Periyasami, district secretary, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, and his son P. Jagan.
Earlier, the Tuticorin police had searched her residence at Polepettai and a hotel owned by her family to ascertain the whereabouts of Mr. Periyasami and Mr. Jagan.
Mr. Periyasami has filed an anticipatory bail plea in the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court. Hearing on the petition has been adjourned to Monday.
When Ms. Jeevan proceeded to the Tuticorin All-Woman Police Station, DMK cadres raised slogans against the AIADMK Government and laid siege to the station for a while.
Talking to reporters, she said that the government was indulging in vindictive action by foisting cases against DMK functionaries to divert attention from the sufferings of people, who were bearing the brunt of frequent power cuts, rise in prices of essential commodities and deteriorating law and order.
Mohammed Fathima of Caldwell Colony had lodged a complaint with the Thermal Nagar police against Mr. Periyasami and others, alleging they had usurped 15 acres and 85 cents at Mullakad using fake documents. A case was filed on September 24, 2012 against 13 persons, including Mr. Periyasami and Mr. Jagan. A few days later, it was referred to anti-land grab cell.

- #26 Thompson Square - "If I Didn't Have You"
- #29 Tim McGraw - "One of Those Nights"
- #45 Sam Palladio & Clare Bowen - "I Will Fall"
Sure, Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" continues to command the top spot on the country singles chart. But Florida Georgia Line is still going strong with "Cruise," which moved into the runner-up slot. It's still too early for the group to unseat Swift, but if the song can stick around the top 5 in the coming weeks, it sure is a possibility. Luke Bryan ducked out of the top 5 with "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," which fell one spot to #6. And Hunter Hayes is baaaaaack: "Wanted" two-stepped it from #6 to #4. Miranda Lambert's "Fastest Girl in Town" showed moderate gains, moving from #8 to #7 in the wake of her win at this year's CMA Awards. New singles from upcoming albums include Thompson Square's "If I Didn't Have You" and The Band Perry's "Better Dig Two."
Top 5 Country Albums
- Taylor Swift - Red
- Jason Aldean - Night Train

Hot New Country Albums
- #3 Toby Keith - Hope on the Rocks
Toby Keith enters the top 5 this week with his follow-up to Clancy's Tavern, Hope on the Rocks. The album -- Keith's sixteenth -- debuted at #3. That's an impressive weigh-in, given the country singer's multi-platinum competition: Taylor Swift at #1 with Red and Jason Aldean at #2 with Night Train. Miranda Lambert continues to get the CMA bump on the album charts. Lambert's most recent effort, Four the Record, swung up from #27 to #14. There were similar upticks all across the board: Willie Nelson's Heroes rose from #71 to #58, Dierks Bentley's Home jumped from #40 to #30, and Blake Shelton's Red River Blue climbed from #26 to #15.

Taylor Swift's post-breakup anthem keeps increasing its hold on the airwaves. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" nudged up from #3 to #4 on the radio charts. (Justin Bieber, eat your heart out.) It's a long walk from Swift to the nearest country artist, who this week happens to be Luke Bryan. He occupies #19 with "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye." That's a two-point improvement over last week, and bad news for Lee Brice who fell to #23 from Bryan's spot. Jake Owen's "The One That Got Away" moved from #29 to #25. And the good news keeps coming for Miranda Lambert. "Fastest Girl in Town" makes its first appearance on our country radio top 5, at #27 up from #30. And that's all the news that's fit to summarize.

Toronto Sheet Metal Contractors Association, usually referenced by the acronym TSM is a not-for-profit trade association. TSM is an association of contractors whose affairs and activities are controlled by a board of directors comprised of contractor members or their appointed representative. TSM serves the needs of contractors of all sizes engaged in the business of manufacturing, installing, servicing, and maintaining of all sheet metal work associated with air handling systems and directly related processes.
The Ontario Sheet Metal Training Centre offers:
The National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC) is currently made up of 12 trade organizations
The Coalition has determined that they will concentrated on the two priority issues: getting paid and getting paid promptly for work performed and the promotion of unaltered forms of industry accepted standard forms of contracts. The Coalition agreed to two formal working relationships. The first with the Construction Sector Council (CSC).

Yes, on a car trip through the south a while back I stopped at the place where they make tobasco sauce and stocked up all of their various flavors. Chipotle is one of my favorites. The Tabasco company has a whole island and as you cross the bridge onto it you get this delightful wave of spicy scents in the air.
I am SOOOOO jealous.

Gophers have something to build on for next season
By Dave Campbell, AP Sports Writer
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota's run to a runner-up finish in the NIT was more than a consolation gift at the end of another up-and-down season under coach Tubby Smith.
The Gophers, save for their lopsided loss to Stanford for the NIT title, finally built some momentum and confidence after a bunch of late-game collapses.

Ronda Rousey's latest movie project revealed amid criticism from rival
Ryan McKinnell at Cagewriter9 hrs agoIf fans were wondering what's next for UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey after her most recent destruction of Cat Zingano at Saturday's UFC 184, they needn't wonder any longer.
Unfortunately for fight fans, Rousey's next endeavor is in her other profession: making movies. Rousey, who made her acting debut in last year's Expendables 3, already has upcoming roles in the soon-to-be-released Fast and Furious 7 and Entourage films. Now, entertainment outlet Variety is reporting that she has committed to her next movie.
The film, "Mile 22" will be produced by Peter Berg, with a screenplay by Graham Roland and will feature Rousey as a CIA field operative paired with an Indonesia police officer (played by Iko Uwais, of "The Raid" franchise fame) battling 'extreme' political corruption. The casting seems to suggest, once again, that Rousey is being fast-tracked to a career as a true female action star.
This, of course, is making some of her fighting contemporaries more than a little upset. And if we're being honest, probably a little jealous.
Who's next for Ronda Rousey? Who's left?
Ryan McKinnell at Cagewriter11 hrs agoIt didn't take long for fans and pundits to wonder what was next for UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey after her 14-second decimation of Cat Zingano at UFC 184 this past Saturday. It was Rousey's 11th win in 11 fights, and Zingano was the last legitimate contender in the division who could challenge the 28-year-old phenom.
Rousey has effectively wiped out any and all competition in the last two years on her warpath to UFC superstardom. Liz Carmouche, Miesha Tate, Cat Zingano, Alexis Davis and former Olympian Sara McMann have all fallen victim to world's most dangerous female. To make matters more aggravating for UFC matchmakers, Rousey is finishing these opponents in record fashion; her last two opponents – Davis and Zingano – were finished in 30 seconds, combined.
'Rowdy' is running out of people to fight, and UFC announcer Joe Rogan thinks he may have a solution: Fight men. Or, at least, Rogan had an opinion on how she would stack up against her bantamweight counterparts in the men's division.
Ronda Rousey destroys Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds at UFC 184
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter2 days agoLOS ANGELES – It used to be that Ronda Rousey needed a minute to finish her fights. Now, she's getting two of them done in half of that time.
The most dominant fighter in the world continued her mind-boggling run of destruction Saturday, submitting previously unbeaten top contender Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds – the quickest finish in UFC championship history – in the main event of UFC 184 at Staples Center to retain her women's bantamweight title.
Rousey blew away Alexis Davis in just 16 seconds at UFC 175 in July in what seemed to be a ridiculously easy manner. But it was done even quicker on Saturday.
Zingano raced out of her corner and threw a flying knee at Rousey. She then flung Rousey down. But Rousey, the vastly superior grappler, quickly reversed position and got on top.
She extended Zingano's arm toward her and then turned her hips to the right, putting incredible pressure on the joint and forcing the tap.
"We expected she might come out flying," Rousey said.
It was over so quickly, Zingano seemed stunned. She didn't know what to say and several times uttered an expletive as she was being interviewed in the cage by UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan.
Brock Lesnar cageside at UFC 184, prompting speculation about his future
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter2 days agoLOS ANGELES -- Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, now a star in the WWE, was cageside at UFC 184 on Saturday, prompting speculation that the big man is on his way back to the UFC.
Lesnar is nearing the end of his contract with the WWE and there has been talk, though none of it from Lesnar, that he wants to return to mixed martial arts. Lesnar suffered from diverticulitis during his UFC career and was never fully healthy.
After defeating Antonio Silva in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on Sunday, one-time Lesnar rival Frank Mir called Lesnar out and said he'd love a rubber match.
UFC president Dana White smiled when asked about Lesnar's presence during the event and said, "I don't know [why he's here.]" Lesnar was not available to media. On Thursday, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer and MMA Fighting reported that Lesnar had come to a contract impasse with the WWE.
CSAC decides to test all 22 fighters at UFC 184 for PEDs using blood, urine
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter2 days agoLOS ANGELES -- The fight against doping in mixed martial arts took a big step forward on Saturday when Andy Foster, the executive officer of the California State Athletic Commission, told Yahoo Sports he was testing all 22 fighters taking part in UFC 184 for performance enhancing drugs.
The tests, which Foster said will "come at a significant financial cost to this commission," will include both blood and urine tests of all fighters. In the event of a positive result, Foster said he would have a Carbon Isotope Ratio (CIR) test done on the sample.
"We want to create an environment of deterrence," said Foster, who conducted out-of-competition testing of main eventers Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano. "We're not trying to suspend people or take their money, but the athletes need to know that when they come to California, we have the resources, the means and the will to do this."
Cat Zingano on what to expect from her in UFC 184 title bout: 'Just watch"
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter3 days agoLOS ANGELES – Champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Cat Zingano each made weight on Friday at LA Live, making official their bout on Saturday for the UFC women's bantamweight title at Staples Center in the main event of UFC 184.
Rousey, who appeared more gaunt in the face than usual, weighed at the bantamweight limit of 135 pounds. Zingano, who weighed first, was 134 1/2.
She was asked by UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan for a comment about the fight following the weigh-in. She said simply, "Just watch," and then turned and headed to the locker room.
Rousey (10-0, 10 finishes) praised Zingano (9-0, eight finishes) as her most dangerous opponent, which she said is a good thing. As her hometown crowd cheered her, Rousey said, "I'm going to show you guys the most fantastic win ever."
Holly Holm, a former boxing champion making her UFC debut in the co-main event, weighed in at 135 1/2, the same as her opponent, Raquel Pennington.
Ronda Rousey likes drug testing plans, but admits to partying 'a year straight'
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter3 days agoLOS ANGELES -- UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who defends her title against No. 1 contender Cat Zingano Saturday at Staples Center in the main event of UFC 184, has long been an outspoken proponent of drug testing.
She admitted Thursday during a media scrum that she is pretty much a homebody and doesn't do much other than work and relax at home. Part of that, she said was as a result of the year she spent as a bartender following the 2008 Olympics, where she won a bronze medal in judo.
Rousey has been able to juggle all sorts of projects and remain successful inside the Octagon -- in addition to fighting, she's acted in three movies and will appear in more, has written an autobiography, appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, makes public appearances to promote the UFC and has been a frequent guest on late night talk shows -- which she said can do because she prioritizes fighting above all else.
It's also because, from the sound of it, she got sick of partying.
Cain Velasquez-Fabricio Werdum to headline UFC 188 in Mexico City
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter7 days agoHeavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, who has not fought since routing Junior dos Santos on Oct. 19, 2013, will defend his belt against interim title-holder Fabricio Werdum on June 13 in Mexico City in the main event of UFC 188, the UFC announced Monday.
Velasquez was supposed to meet Werdum at UFC 180 on Nov. 15, but pulled out of the bout on Oct. 21 because of an injured right knee. Prior to that, Velasquez had shoulder surgery. By fight night, he'll have fought just once in more than two years.
Frank Mir ends four-fight skid, stops 'Big Foot' Silva in first round
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter8 days agoBefore his bout with Antonio "Big Foot" Silva, Frank Mir talked about reinventing himself as a fighter. The two-time ex-UFC heavyweight champion was on a four-fight losing streak and seemingly at the end of the line.
Mir wasn't ready to quit, however. He felt he wasn't training properly and wanted to give himself one last chance. In addition to preparing better, Mir worked long hours on his boxing with Angelo Reyes.
The results were extraordinary.
Mir needed only 100 seconds to dispose of Silva Sunday in the main event of a UFC card in Porto Alegre, Brazil, looking very much like the man who once was an elite contender.
Mir, who came out in a right-handed stance after boxing as a southpaw for years, also showed a new punch. Mir was never much of a jabber, but it was his jab which set everything up.
He landed a couple of good shots behind the jab early, and then the jab was the key to the finishing sequence. Mir, who was clearly quicker and more athletic than the ponderous Brazilian, landed a hard jab followed by a quick left hook. The left hook dumped Silva onto his back, and Mir hurriedly finished the job.
WWE physician slaps CM Punk with defamation lawsuit for podcast
Marcus Vanderberg at Cagewriter10 days agoLast year's podcast "pipe bomb" from CM Punk could ultimately be a costly one.
WWE senior ringside physician Dr. Chris Amann filed a defamation lawsuit against CM Punk (real name Phil Brooks) and Colt Cabana (real name Scott Colton) on Thursday in a Chicago court for comments that were made on "The Art of Wrestling" podcast last November that "repeatedly and falsely impugned his integrity" as a doctor . Dr. Amann is seeking more than $1 million in compensatory damages and an undisclosed amount in punitive damages. Cabana, the real-life best friend of CM Punk, is the host of "The Art of Wrestling."
The two-part podcast was the first time CM Punk spoke publicly about his abrupt departure from the company and one of the main reasons for quitting was alleged medical malpractice.
CM Punk claimed the WWE didn't follow proper concussion protocol, rushed him back to the ring following elbow surgery and misdiagnosed a "fatty deposit" that allegedly developed into staph infection. Those accusations were directed in part at Dr. Amann.

Ten Reasons to Vote Against Medical Marijuana in Florida
World Bank/Flikr Commons |
9. Softening attitudes toward marijuana put children at risk.
"The science shows us that one out of every six kids who starts using marijuana will become addicted. That's not a controversy; that's a scientific fact. If you start in adulthood, one in ten or one in 11 adults [will become addicted to marijuana]. The adolescent brain is under construction until about age 25 or 28. Anything that comes into contact with your brain has the potential to stay with you your whole life -- good things and bad things. One of those bad things are drugs. Marijuana has that distinction going in one in every six 16-year-olds will become addicted. I don't think writers of the petition want kids to become addicted, but when we increase the acceptability and normalization [of marijuana] -- look at what's happening in Colorado and California. Do Floridians want their state to look like that? That's the question the needs to be asked. That's all it comes down to in November."
8. There are alternatives to medical marijuana legalization.
"There are clinical trials and scientific programs [those who are suffering or have loved ones suffering from a debilitating disease] can enroll in. If you have cancer or uncontrollable muscular spasticity or your child has Dravet syndrome, there are scientific programs to enroll to get marijuana-derived medications in a safe way. Those are being sanctioned by the FDA. On the other hand, I don't begrudge anybody from getting anything that they want to make themselves or their loved ones feel better. But this is the right way to do it in Florida."

Knill thankful for vital away point
Scunthorpe manager Alan Knill reflected positively on a valuable point in his side's bid to escape relegation from the npower Championship as they drew 1-1 at Coventry.Marlon King broke the deadlock for the Sky Blues with his 12th goal of the season after just five minutes. His early opener was cancelled out in the 38th minute by a deflected effort from impressive on-loan Leeds winger Ramon Nunez.Yet an entertaining encounter at the Ricoh Arena could easily have gone either way as both sides passed up chances to claim all three points - King, Lukas Jutkiewicz and Freddy Eastwood wasting openings for Coventry while Bobby Grant and Michael Collins fluffed great opportunities for the Iron.The scoreline, combined with Crystal Palace's goalless draw at Doncaster, means the scrap to avoid relegation remains unchanged with now just three matches remaining - Scunthorpe sitting three points adrift of the Eagles in the final relegation spot.Knill said: "Absolutely it's a valuable point. If you can't win then don't lose, it's always a point in the right direction."We all have three games left, you don't know what happens. Everybody has tough fixtures, like ourselves, but if you show that commitment and effort you give yourself a chance. And that's all we're doing."

Everything you would need is available in the room. Silverware, plates, cups, pots, pans, dishwasher, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and refrigerator. The room had it all. It was very neat and tidy.
There was no iron for your clothes and the bench at the foot of the bed had white stains that I did not wanna know where they came from. Needless to say, we didn't sit on it.

I'm not old, honest...
Seems to me that the glaciers have been melting for quite a while now. Ever since I was a little kid we saw pics of glaciers calving and all the big rivers that are a result of glacial runoff. Are they getting smaller? Sure, but how could that be a surprise?
If the government really wanted to start a first step in reducing the burning of fossil fuels, we could start by shutting off all the dam street lights & requiring businesses to turn off the lights when they are closed. Fly over the country at night and look at the amount of lights that are on at 2:00 in the morning. We came by GL Crossing last night at about 9:00 and everything on the north side of I-75 was closed........ and lit up. I wonder how much energy could be saved nationwide by just shutting off all the lights. Should we be consious of the threat? Yes Should we give Al Gore the Nobel Peace prize? No |

The lack of a localized Mother 3 on the Game Boy Advance must rank as one of Nintendo's more heinous crimes, but that's not to say they can't get out of our bad books. All it would take is, oooh, let's say a DS version of the classic RPG and A MILLION DOLLARS. Or, y'know, just the game.
And look, Nintendo, Mother 3 co-developer Brownie Brown is happy to indulge us! Speaking to Siliconera, company President Shinichi Kameoka said Nintendo just needs to give the go-ahead. "If we were asked to make [a DS version of Mother 3]," he said, "then we would definitely like for fans abroad to play the game."
The ball is very much in Nintendo's court, then. Until they take a swipe at it, there's only one way to sample (and fully comprehend) Mother 3's myriad delights.
