You know that moment when you open your eyes and you can feel that your face is puffy? You reach over to your nightstand in hopes that your fingers will meet a glass of water, but instead you just end up unplugging a lamp, knocking off an alarm clock and dropping your cell phone. The headache sets in. A headache that can only be described as "this is what happens when you mix champagne with gin." Or, "this is what happens when you mix half a bottle of champagne with gin." OR, "this is what happens when you mix half a bottle of champagne with gin, eat animals from both land and sea, have butter as a legitimate side dish, swear you are not going to have dessert and then eat half of a chocolate bar, pass out on the couch in a sloppy champagne fueled coma" situation.
Sounds like another successful Steak and Lobster Day (or shall I say "Valentines Day" for all you non Steak and Lobster-ers). The husband got home a little bit early. We cooked together. I spiced up the steaks and got to work on our side dishes. I whipped up a mashed cauliflower with garlic and wilted chard situation as well as a Greek salad. Peter cooked our meat to perfection, melted some butter and mixed us some cocktails. I had planned to get a bottle of wine at the grocery store, but in my intense steak and lobster excitement I managed to forget. Instead, we went rooting through our cabinets and found a a bottle of champagne. We then proceeded to make ourselves French 75's. This is a cocktail that combines gin with champagne (yes, this might be a red flag). Of course once we opened the bottle of champagne we decided that we could not let it go to waste (Perhaps we are the red flags?). Continue reading

This is my latest article for Technorati.com America loves football - specifically the brand of football produced by the National Football League (NFL) . In fact, research shows that the number of football fans in this country continues to grow faster than in any other professional sport. The action, strategy, athleticism – and let's be honest – the violence, makes the NFL must-see-TV for most households in this country every Sunday during the football season. It's interesting, … [Read more...]

text: This landmark motion picture is not only the first ever colour film shot in Japan, but it also ranks as one of the most successful comedies the country has ever produced. When the daughter, Carmen, of one of the townsmen. Aoyama Shoichi, decides that she will be returning to her hometown for a visit, her father becomes very angry, remarking that he never knew he has a daughter with a foreign name. Years ago, Carmen left for Tokyo to become a famous dancer, The townspeople have only heard about her celebrity but don't really have an idea of how famous she is. When the fact that she is a high-class exotic dancer comes to light, scandal erupts. This crowd-pleasing musical satire enables Kinoshita to lovingly ogle the majestic scenery with his camera.

Storage Box for Scrapbook
Apr 10, 2011 | By Judith
I wasn't sure if this box would be sturdy enough even though it measured out to be the perfect fit for my scrapbook project. When I got it, I was really happy to see that it is very sturdy with no loose bits anywhere that would catch on the edges of the contents and start the wearing process. There will definitely be more of these boxes in my house in the future.

Turkey and Squash "Thanksgiving" Risotto
One of my favorite parts about holiday dinners is the leftovers. In addition to the turkey sandwiches, there are so many different things that you can do with the leftovers. I am always on the lookout for tasty ways to enjoy holiday dinner leftovers and when I came across this recipe for Thanksgiving risotto on Mike's Table I bookmarked for the holidays. The original recipe called for fresh turkey so I modified it a bit to use leftover turkey. This Thanksgiving risotto is like an entire Thanksgiving dinner all rolled into one dish. You have the turkey and the cranberries from the dinner and the spices remind you of dessert. The risotto turned out great! I really enjoy the way that the sweet butternut squash works in the creamy and cheesy risotto. All of the flavours worked well together and it really was like eating a turkey dinner. The spices added just a hint flavour without overpowering the delicate flavours of the risotto. I garnished the risotto with some toasted pecans and crispy sage leaves fried in butter. I will be making this again!
2+ cups chicken stock
2 sage leaves (chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion (chopped)
1 cup butternut squash (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 cup arborio rice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 pound turkey (cooked, cut into bite sized pieces)
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (grated)
1 tablespoon butter
1. Heat the chicken stock and sage leaves in a saucepan and keep it warm.
2. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan.
3. Add the onions and squash and simmer for 5 minutes to start softening them.
4. Add the rice and the spices and coat with the butter.
5. Add the wine and stir until it has evaporated.
6. Add 1/4 cup of stock at a time and stirring until it has evaporated. The rice is done when it is cooked to al dente.
7. Add the cranberries and after 1 cup of stock has been added.
8. Add turkey, parmigiano reggiano and butter and stir until the turkey is heated.

Looks like somebody found out a free software bussiness model.
Phoronix: Ryzom Game Gets A Native Linux Client
Back in May we reported that Ryzom was released as free software, with Ryzom being a massively multi-player online science-fantasy role playing game developed by a French game studio. Six months after putting the code out there, Winch Gate Properties Ltd is announcing the official release of their native Linux client for the Ryzom game...
Looks like somebody found out a free software bussiness model.
So it seems everyone can run his own server if he wants. Will be very interesting how this turns out. I hope that does not kill the business model of this company.Ryzom is the first commercial MMORPG to be completely under free software (client, server, tools source code, 3d, textures assets...).
Where the liberation of all Ryzom code is great, is that those interested can learn how a mmorpg server works, and I guess much like Neverwinter Nights, lots of communities can meet and play on smaller scale worlds.

Andy Samberg has thus far been the most divisive aspect of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. While some people feel that Jake Peralta is his funniest and most likeable character yet, other think that the show should be reworked with a different lead. Whichever side you're on, the show's fifth episode was bound to please, as it finally solved the Peralta problem simply by bringing all of the detectives together on a heated quest to destroy The Vulture — also known as Major Crimes' Detective Pembroke.
The Vulture gets his name from his habit of swopping in on mostly-solved cases, finishing them, and then taking all of the credit, and he's back this time to take on Peralta's murder case. Peralta's been refusing to accept any help from any of his co-workers, despite Holt's constant urging, in order to solve it on his own and take all of the credit. However, just as he finally gets a break — courtesy of Diaz, who recognizes that the wounds might have been caused by a corkscrew, and not a knife — The Vulture arrives to take over and bask in the glory. Played magnificently by Dean Winters, channeling everything we loved to hate about 30 Rock's Dennis Duffy, Beeper King, Pembroke makes a perfect foil to Peralta, and the rage his presence instills in all of the officers is a delight.
But Peralta isn't happy to be kicked off of his case, and he, Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) go out for drinks in order to plan an epic prank, and end up deciding to solve the case before The Vulture gets to it. The strength of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is really its ensemble of weird, driven characters, and by forcing so many of them together this week, it feels like the show may have found the ideal way to let the supporting characters shine while still balancing out Peralta's wacky hijinks. It's good to see the show finally taking advantage of the "workplace" aspect of being a workplace comedy, as it benefits all of the characters. Santiago finally gets to have a plot that doesn't solely revolve around impressing the captain, and the audience gets to learn more about Diaz, who is the show's most underdeveloped character. It was also great to see Boyle finally be treated like part of the team, rather than just being the guy everyone walks all over. By the time they're digging in the garbage chute to find the missing murder weapon, it finally feels like the show has found its footing.
Meanwhile, Captain Holt has decided that it's time for Sgt. Jeffords to return to the field, and so he concocts a plan to trick him into being re-certified to carry a gun by asking Jeffords to give him and Gina a shooting lesson. However, once Jeffords realizes what is really going on, he's no longer able to shoot, and Terry Crews once again gets to steal the episode by stalling for time in the most ridiculous ways possible. Brooklyn Nine-Nine serves up another unusual pairing that nonetheless works perfectly in Gina and Holt. Where Holt is calm, encouraging, and later frustrated, Gina is obnoxious, distracting and flirtatious. Andre Braugher and Chelsea Peretti have very different styles and delivery, but they play off each other so well that we can't help but hope for many more Gina-and-Holt plots in the future.
Episode Highlights:
- Samberg finally gets to show off some of his excellent physical comedy with a very slow, spiteful walk back to his desk.
- The Vulture swoops in and steals Boyle's coffee, which is even more disappointing because Charles used a gift card to pay for it.
- Sgt. Jeffords, freaking out in the gun range: "How do you breathe? Is it two in, one out?"
- Boyle's revenge plans include breaking into The Vulture's apartment to burn popcorn in the microwave, replacing all of his aloe tissues with regular tissues and saran wrapping his motorcycle
- Gina answers the phone with "Gina's Authentic Stolen Police Badges, how may I help you?" She also keeps a hair dryer in her purse because she's "not an animal," and her dance troupe is called "Floorgasm." Gina is the best.
- Boyle finally proves that he has broad shoulders by getting stuck in the garbage chute.
- One of Peralta's alter egos is "Dr. Jacob Peralta, who has a PhD is Slow Jam Studies from Funktown University."
- Pembroke: "Stay foxy." Santiago: "Die Lonely."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Slushy Santa Parade expected Saturday
At today's Santa Claus parade you may want to pack a tarp along with that blanket.
With 60,000 people expected to crowd into downtown later today for the parade at 5 p.m. this evening, our mild weather means wet pavements and sidewalks.
Mild and cloudy. High 1 Celsius.
If you want your kiddlies to stay warm, you're going to have guard against the damp and the cold so taking a tarp, to line the curbs and lawnchairs before you cosy up in a blanket is probably a sensible precaution.
Environment Canada says Saturday will be cloudy, and while temperatures at the Richardson Interntional Airport hovered around -9 in the morning, they'll rise as the clouds move in. There were patches of fog this morning and they'll be back this evening. Overnight, lows dip down to -7 and come back up to highs of 4 Sunday, when the sun comes back.
One final word of advice comes from the Winnipeg police Saturday morning: it's the start of the holiday season and there are thieves out there, they say. Keep track of your valuables as the holiday season kicks off.

It might have hardware compatibility issues, but still would not be common.
I wouldn't say the best DE yet, but they have a lot of potential, and their window manager shows promise too(no sluggish but smooth effects, even though no wayland yet).I'd like to inform you that their PPAs are available for Ubuntu 12.10 already.
They're in alpha stage now and say they're very close to beta. I trust they'll release it this year.
After first FINISHED version is out, adoption is very likely to grow. And just imagine Ubuntu with it as default.
Well, it does have a couple bugs, although most if not all are actually fglrx bugs in my case , in some cases manifesting in a more apparent way(youtube videos with hardware accelerated rendering only show black on fullscreen. Under any circumstances though, anything hardware accelerated and fullscreen on fglrx, seems to show bugs/glitchiness, heck, even with openbox ).
Or mint, though that's probably more unlikely than Ubuntu. It's one I believe has potential in becoming mainstream. Only one feature missing .. WOBBLY WINDOWS!! And burning windows when you close them maybe .. :roll eyes:
And actually, I believe that the system working well and being easy to work with, is bait more important to many than being updated. But more updated would be cool. I'm certain they'll at least have PPAs for every newer version, I mean they do have PPAs for 12.10(not officially released yet) some time now. The theme was a lil bit buggy with the new gtk etc though ...
I wish those guys good luck, their approach on some thing is very good in my opinion, and "release when ready" is also very good. In the end, adding the updated kernel shouldn't be too hard though. Maybe they can do it for newer ISOs or something, so none is forced to upgrade and cripple closed drivers, in case they use them.
Hope it comes to Fedora soon as well.
Primary I did say that, because someone said, that he finds it good that fedora delays this release because it would become more stable than made it look like ubuntus fixed release shedule would lead to buggier versions, when I think the opposite is true. Of course not the delay is the cause of bugs, but they have bigger problems, maybe to less developers maybe wrong release policies that lead to a not mass-desktop-ready linux desktop than their feature-based instead of timebased release cycles.
its a chicken-egg problem I guess, they seem to have less users, because of reasons I telled... then there is nothing comparable like ubuntusers.de, so they then get less bug reports so less users come to them... in this case its very very important to give good support to the few bug reports you get. I would have loved bug reports for some projets I did in the past, but because nobody seemed to be interessted in that software at least not many people I nearly got no response so at some point they died more or less (canta game). So I cannot understand how you can tread like that your users. If you are not willing to give support through a bugtracker its bad itself but if so at least shut down the site so that users dont waste their time talking to a wall.
the website of fedora looks very corperative, very company-biased. that frightens away normal private users. And thats the other point having 2 different distributions for business and community is also stupid. that costs much time to basicly support a fork, why not go the ubuntu way and make ONE Distribution and make some long-time-support versions. so yes thats maybe a good thing for making money, but it does not work well for the community testing versions that are only there to make the real distribution behind it.
I dont like to flame about fedora, I wish it would be better. Because for me the alternatives go out. if you want a high package count there is not that big of a choice. like I said debian is too old, gentoo is dieing kind of, arch sounds reasonable but tried it and the tools are not that good and even gentoo is more userfriendly you have not to do all stuff manuelly there are etc-config tools and such stuff... and the aur packages are often completly broken. I agree that it has potential but we will see. opensuse could be an alternative but in the few days old version there is gnome-shell 3.4 installed so also very old-school but at least you can onclick 3.6 or something like that. but then again whats the big point of going away from ubuntu where I have at least 3.6 gnome and with a ppa the not upgraded packages. its also not really a gnome-distro. And kind of noobish^^
Mint maybe but it was a pain in the ass to get the gnome-shell to a vanilla look.
So staying on ubuntu till something changes I guess.

Well, uh, I don't think that's all necessarily true at all.
We don't get 'few' bug reports for Fedora. 193 bugs were filed against Fedora on 2012-10-15. 113 on 2012-10-14. 120 on 2012-10-13. I get bored of changing my query, but we get at least 100 bug reports a day, it appears.
Launchpad doesn't appear to be able to use 'date of bug creation' as a search field, so it's harder to be precise, but scrolling through https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+b...mo=75&start=75 , clicking on bugs and looking at the time of creation, it looks like Ubuntu gets about the same number of bug reports in a day - a little over 100.
So Fedora in fact has at least as many bug reports to deal with as Ubuntu.
In general, in my experience, no project as large as a Linux distribution will ever be able to respond satisfactorily to all bug reports. I used to work for Mandriva, and MDV didn't. I have a little experience of poking through Ubuntu's bug reports, and Ubuntu doesn't. As a comedy aside, Android is fucking _terrible_ at it, trying to get a response to an Android bug from Google is a Sisyphean task. And Fedora doesn't, either. My rule of thumb is that maybe 50% of bug reports get a decent response, in a Linux distribution.
It is certainly not the case that Fedora bug reports don't get responses. Most do. Some don't, but as I said, there are some bug reports for every distribution that don't get satisfactory responses, this is effectively a fact of life. It won't change.
Let's be realistic here: 'my sound card stopped working' is not a showstopper bug. Not in practice. Not for Fedora, not for Ubuntu. Want proof on the Ubuntu front?
was reported in March 2012. Ubuntu didn't manage to fix it; one dev got some way in investigating it, but it certainly wasn't considered any kind of high priority showstopper. The bug was not actually fixed until I reported it upstream to the ALSA developers and provided needed debugging info. They put a fix in upstream kernel, which will eventually work its way downstream to Ubuntu (AFAICT it's still actually broken in Ubuntu; you have to compile ALSA from upstream to fix it, for Ubuntu). So if you're going to ding Fedora, ding Ubuntu too.
I don't think anyone's done a really reliable study on whether any distribution is actually significantly better at handling bug reports than any other. It'd be interesting data to see if someone did. But I think I'm on solid ground in asserting, in general, that no distribution handles all its bug reports well. And also that no distribution considers single-system hardware bugs as major showstoppers.
"no not really I can except from a major distro that it supports all hardware where working opensource drivers are there... if ubuntu can do that why should fedora not be able to"
this is not remotely as clear-cut as you suggest. The above indicates a case where Fedora's support is currently superior to Ubuntu's (that sound card works in current Fedora 17). There are literally billions of possible hardware combinations in the world. In practice, any two distros which do not use the precise same kernel source will have _differing_ hardware support. Each one will support some bits of hardware that the other doesn't. I don't believe any Linux distribution has ever been released which worked on all extant PC hardware. I doubt even that any distribution has ever been released which supported all extant hardware for which support is _theoretically possible_. Not Ubuntu, not Fedora, not Debian, not Mandriva, not anyone. The problem space is simply too large and no distributor - hell, no PC OS vendor period - can possibly test their OS on all available hardware.
"the website of fedora looks very corperative, very company-biased"
I really don't see how you can say that at all. What about https://fedoraproject.org/ is corporate or company-biased?
"On the other hand, you can upgrade to a new release as painless as a regular update on Debian/Ubuntu."
This is certainly not true. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePango...ure-1.Upgrades lists three known issues with upgrading to Pangolin. I would be very surprised if there are not more than that.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973408 is not a painless upgrade. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969817 is not a painless upgrade. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043559 is not a painless upgrade. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1976791 is not a painless upgrade. I could go on, but you take my point. That's just from a casual Google for '12.04 upgrade site:ubuntuforums.org'; all those results are on the first page.
The fact is that an OS upgrade is a psychotically complex operation with an effectively infinite number of variables, it's as bad as or worse than the problem space for hardware support. I'd state that it's literally impossible for a general-purpose OS to guarantee trouble-free upgrades from one major version to the next. Ubuntu does not guarantee it in theory or in practice. Fedora does not. RHEL does not. Windows does not. OS X does not. Nobody does. It is not possible to do so.
Now you could develop an argument that Ubuntu does this better than Fedora, if you had enough solid data, but anecdotal data certainly is not enough, since we've already established that both Ubuntu and Fedora have troubles with upgrades in some cases. If we agree on that, then a single data point of 'had trouble with Fedora, didn't have trouble with Ubuntu' doesn't tell us anything we didn't know already. You'd need a much more systematic study of upgrades across hundreds or thousands of configurations in order to be certain.
"And thats the other point having 2 different distributions for business and community is also stupid. that costs much time to basicly support a fork, why not go the ubuntu way and make ONE Distribution and make some long-time-support versions. so yes thats maybe a good thing for making money, but it does not work well for the community testing versions that are only there to make the real distribution behind it."
This is a common misunderstanding of the relationship between Fedora and RHEL. It's much more complex than that. Fedora does serve partly as a testing ground for RHEL, but it's much more than that. There are many people who work on or with Fedora and never use RHEL; Fedora has its own identity and purpose. This is easy enough to understand if you think about it briefly. RHEL contains massively fewer packages than Fedora. If Fedora were just a testing ground for RHEL it would contain the exact same package base as RHEL does.
In general Fedora is a more bleeding-edge and less polished distro than Ubuntu, and this is by policy. It certainly makes sense for some people to use a distro like Ubuntu rather than a distro like Fedora. But the situation is far more complex than you paint it, I'd say.
I'm not saying it's a breeze or that everyone should do what Debian/Ubuntu does. I'm just saying Ubuntu has been less painful for me. I usually have Ubuntu (Kubuntu actually) at home and Fedora at work.
"But even so, the worst case scenario requires an installation from scratch. Which is what every RPM-based distro mandates anyway."
Er, I'm not sure where you get that idea; it isn't true. All RPM-based distros I'm aware of offer upgrade functionality. Fedora does, Mandriva does, SUSE does.
Are you talking about the mechanism Ubuntu offers for triggering an upgrade from within a running session, rather than the user triggering an upgrade by booting an install medium and picking an 'upgrade' option? That's very different from 'mandating an installation from scratch' - just because an upgrade is run through the system installer doesn't mean it's an installation from scratch. It's not. It's upgrading the installed system and preserving configuration, user data, package set etc.
Even if so, Fedora has a mechanism for triggering an upgrade from the running system; the current one is preupgrade - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_PreUpgrade - and for F18 there's a new one being written (see earlier in this thread). MDV and SUSE may have similar systems these days, I'm not sure. You can also do a live upgrade of a running Fedora system using yum (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgra...dora_using_yum ), a running Mandriva system using urpmi, or a running SUSE system using whatever SUSE uses (zypper?). These methods usually aren't officially recommended, but in practice they work - I've upgraded this system from F15 to F18 using yum only.
while the system is running, and has an upgrade option when installing from a DVD. I don't think there are any plans to add any more options, as these cover pretty much all the use cases.
Basically a full upgrade from release X to Y is not always painless. Especially when you have got packageing changes or a complete new gui like when you go from KDE 3 to 4 then every 2nd package has got a new name. For beginners i usually suggest using a /home partition and a clean install. Next thing that could be really problematic is when there is a multiarch transistion. Right now you see that with wheezy, every 3d driver is now multiarch, wine as well (also pulseaudio was tricky for 32 bit apps). In the main wheezy/sid repo there are still some missing updates that you could not even install em (i have those missing packages in Kanotix). I would not blame Fedora/Ubuntu or whatever when it breaks going from one release to the next via apt-get/yum. Also when you look at nvidia's current 310 driver you have to uninstall that one for Geforce 6/7 hardware now, that's also tricky. For fglrx this is even more fun, there DX10 cards are already dropped from current driver (GF 6/7 was DX9 hardware)... Ok, Fedora usually does not support binary drivers in their own repo, but you should not forget that.
@Kano: Yes, I also use the separate /home partition "trick". That way I can break anything and not give a rat's behind.
thats my bug.
1. fedoras bug is a bit older ok not much but at least there were 2 stable releases since this time so it matters.
2. 1. month later a response form a paid ubuntu dev (after the conformation of the 2nd bugreport)
3. 2 months later he posted a solution that made the card work again, shurly no distro-bug but at least anybody who search this bug, is able to fix the sound
4. the bug is basicly fixed and the dev waits for the inclusion in upstream of this bug.
5. it seems that its fixed upstream but that its not on fixed stand is because the alsa devs did not answer his last question to make sure it works:
so its basicly fixed 1month later you had a workaround and 6 months later its fixed in ubuntu next it should work.
So way way extremely better support than what I got here:
so your example in fact does prove how much better ubuntu support is.
To the preupgrade thing I tried that, it wasnt painless, but if you dont recommend it its poor. And to upgrade from a usb-stick or something like that, is not very userfriendly.
why can debian do that since 10 years without a usbstick boot and fedora not? or is it since 20 years? ^^
And if you say in 18 there is a new one, thats basicly then because the old way did suck, or why would you fix something thats not broken.

A new research project over at Columbia's Tow Center wants to do a better job of determining the real impact news has on the world around us.
Former Knight-Mozilla OpenNews fellows and current Tow fellows Brian Abelson, Michael Keller, and Stijn Debrouwere hope to find new ways to both quantitatively and qualitatively measure the impact of journalism with NewsLynx.
To that effect, they'll be working with the over 100 members of the Investigative News Network, trying to figure out how impact is measured and what the goals are in those newsrooms. Their first step will be to build a standardized taxonomy for talking about impact across organizations. This list gives a sense of what next steps will be:
— Tracking of social media "mentions" and "likes" over time on Twitter and Facebook.
— Tracking of mentions by lists of people, e.g. local and national representatives, other journalists, or institutional representatives.
— Integration with Google Analytics and other metric providers.
— A Google Alert-like river of mentions that can be approved and associated with a given article.
— A Customizable qualitative taxonomy and tagging system.
— An interface for recording "impact" events not tied to automatic processes.
— "If-This-Then-Impact" recipes for custom combinations of events that should trigger an event to be recorded.
— A report generator for distributing impact assessments to staff, board members, and financial backers.
NewsLynx is also likely to be the first news research project to launch with a reference to the Borgesian Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge.
I'm very happy to pass along a bit of Nieman news: The Knight Foundation has awarded a grant of $223,000 to the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard (of which this website is a part) to support the Knight Visiting Nieman Fellowships, which bring journalists, technologists, academics and other news innovators to campus to work on projects that can advance the field. Here's a brief piece by Nieman Foundation curator Ann Marie Lipinski outlining the thinking behind the program.(If you're a regular Nieman Lab reader, you may remember Jack Riley's piece earlier this month that looked in depth at the potential of the Apple Watch and other smartwatches for news. Jack did that research and wrote that piece during his time as a visiting fellow in February. The same is true of Amy Webb's piece on rethinking journalism education in the new issue of Nieman Reports.)
This funding will support a minimum of five Knight Visiting Nieman Fellows a year, who will work on their projects here for terms no longer than 12 weeks. If you've got an idea for a project, I'd encourage you to apply — applications for the next cycle will open up this summer.
The full press release is below. Knight has also been a funder of other projects here, including Nieman Lab, which is why you see our regular disclosure noting the funding relationship whenever we write about Knight's activities, which touch many, many corners of the journalism innovation world.
Knight Visiting Nieman Fellowships: New program at Harvard University will advance journalism innovation
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — March 25, 2015 — To help news innovators advance quality journalism by incorporating new practices and technology into their work, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation today announced $223,000 in support to the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard for a new program, the Knight Visiting Nieman Fellowships.
The program will bring journalists, technologists, academics and other news innovators to Harvard to develop projects to advance journalism. Each year, Nieman will select a minimum of five fellows. Lessons learned from the projects, developed during short, intense stays lasting no longer than 12 weeks, will be widely shared.
The visiting fellowships were first introduced as an experiment in 2012. With Knight support they are now an integral part of the Nieman program. Visiting fellows will work with traditional Nieman Fellows, who spend a full academic year at Harvard. They also have access to the extensive intellectual resources at Harvard and MIT, and throughout Cambridge, including local scholars, research centers and libraries.
"In the short time we have been working with visiting fellows, the impact on their work and ours has been significant. Over time, we expect this program to help journalism and journalists in increasingly important ways," said Ann Marie Lipinski, curator of the Nieman Foundation.
"Journalism is so challenged in the digital age, it will take many great minds — including creative people from other fields — to help lead quality journalism to its best possible future," said Eric Newton, senior adviser to the president at Knight Foundation. "Congratulations to Nieman for building innovation into the nation's oldest and most distinguished journalism program."
Visiting fellows come from the United States and abroad to work on research, programming, design, financial strategies and other projects. Eligible candidates include journalists, publishers, programmers, designers, developers, media analysts, academics and others with an idea to enhance quality, build new tools or business models or design programs to improve journalism.
Past participants include:
— Paul Salopek, Nieman's inaugural visiting fellow, who used his time at Harvard to plan his epic seven-year Out of Eden reporting walk around the globe to trace the path of human migration and use storytelling and technology to test a new form of "slow journalism."
— Hong Qu, chief technology officer for Fusion, who developed his Keepr application to help journalists and other users better follow stories on Twitter and sort fact from rumor. Keepr was put to the test in April 2013 during the Boston Marathon bombings when Hong used his algorithm to identify reliable information as events unfolded.
— David Smydra from Google News, who formed a small working group with Nieman Fellows for feedback as he developed a structured data format for future news events.
— Allissa Richardson, an assistant professor of journalism at Bowie State University in Maryland, who developed a mobile journalism massive open online course (MOOC) on how to report news using only tablets, MP3 players or smartphones.
— Jack Riley, the London-based head of audience development for The Huffington Post UK, who researched the future impact of smartwatches and wearable devices on journalism.
Support for the fellowships program is part of Knight Foundation's efforts to encourage change in journalism education and advance excellence in journalism. In addition to previous support to the Nieman Journalism Lab, Knight's many investments include: the Challenge Fund for Innovation in Journalism Education and the Knight-Vice Innovators Fund, and recent grants to Columbia University's Tow Center for Digital Journalism, City University of New York, Florida International University, Stanford University and the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education.

Last night's news about news orgs publishing directly to Facebook wasn't a surprise, exactly — we've known this was in the works for months — but it's been a good excuse to think about the permeable boundaries of modern digital media. Yes, you have a website, but it's less a freestanding entity than a hub in a network, one that includes social networks, search engines, ad networks, APIs, and (oh yeah) the audience — itself a loosely joined compendium of individuals each with their own habits, desires, and behaviors. No news organization is an island, and navigating that mesh of relationships with skill and equilibrium is key to whatever future news is able to create for itself.
Just as that discussion was ramping up, this video from last month's FutureEverything conference was posted online. It's a talk by Alexis Lloyd and Matt Boggie of The New York Times' R&D Lab, and it hits on a lot of the same themes — a vision of a news outlet that isn't self-segregated from the rest of the world. Here's the summary:
From New York Times R&D Labs, Alexis Lloyd and Matt Boggie talk about our possible media futures, following the early days of the web — where growth was propelled forward by those making their own spaces online — to the present, where social platforms are starting to close down, tightening the possibilities whilst our dependency on them is increasing. Explaining how internet users are in fact participatory creators, not just consumers, Alexis and Matt ask where playing with news media can allow for a new means of expression and commentary by audiences.
A good companion piece to that video is this other one of an Alexis Lloyd talk at The New School's Journalism+Design program a couple weeks ago: "an overview of a bunch of our recent projects and then took a deeper dive into some of the design values and research that form the conceptual foundations for those projects."
This valuable story in The New York Times would appear to indicate the platformization of news has reached a new level:
In recent months, Facebook has been quietly holding talks with at least half a dozen media companies about hosting their content inside Facebook rather than making users tap a link to go to an external site.
Such a plan would represent a leap of faith for news organizations accustomed to keeping their readers within their own ecosystems, as well as accumulating valuable data on them. Facebook has been trying to allay their fears, according to several of the people briefed on the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were bound by nondisclosure agreements.
Facebook intends to begin testing the new format in the next several months, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions. The initial partners are expected to be The New York Times, BuzzFeed and National Geographic, although others may be added since discussions are continuing. The Times and Facebook are moving closer to a firm deal, one person said.
To make the proposal more appealing to publishers, Facebook has discussed ways for publishers to make money from advertising that would run alongside the content.
You may remember the late David Carr breaking this back in October. Why would Facebook want to do this? The article advances this theory:
Facebook has said publicly that it wants to make the experience of consuming content online more seamless. News articles on Facebook are currently linked to the publisher's own website, and open in a web browser, typically taking about eight seconds to load. Facebook thinks that this is too much time, especially on a mobile device, and that when it comes to catching the roving eyeballs of readers, milliseconds matter.
But as one of the article's coauthors acknowledges, speed and seamlessness are hardly the driving factors here. The real issue is this: Facebook has far better data about individual users than any publisher has, and it wants to keep its users on Facebook. At one level, that data edge should enable it to charge higher rates to advertisers. But on another, Facebook's audience is — by nature of its including a nontrivial share of all humanity — the definition of an undifferentiated, programmatic ad base, and premium publishers like (say) The New York Times should be able to outstrip it on a CPM basis.
Facebook controls a huge share of the traffic publishers get — 40 percent or more in many cases. Combine that with the appification of people's online life — the retreat from the open web toward a few social-media icons on your phone's home screen — and you start to get at the motivations here. Facebook has fallen into the role of audience gatekeeper for many publishers, and it's offering (!) to optimize that relationship. Or at least not to screw it up:
And if Facebook pushes beyond the experimental stage and makes content hosted on the site commonplace, those who do not participate in the program could lose substantial traffic — a factor that has played into the thinking of some publishers. Their articles might load more slowly than their competitors', and over time readers might avoid those sites.
And just as Facebook has changed its news feed to automatically play videos hosted directly on the site, giving them an advantage compared with videos hosted on YouTube, it could change the feed to give priority to articles hosted directly on its site.
I'll have more to say about this later this week, but in general, the idea of distributed content argues that publishers should be more comfortable putting their content on platforms they don't control. But Facebook isn't just another platform. It's dominant in a way no other platform is, which makes it understandable that publishers might be weighing the cost-benefit — or control-benefit — analysis differently than it does for, oh, WhatsApp or Snapchat.
The game for traditional publishers now is all about short-term/long-term tradeoffs. Of course, in the long run, you want to control the customer and advertiser relationships. But today, in 2015, Facebook controls a large share of your audience and has user data you have no hope of matching. Is it worth the tradeoff to get extra Facebook dollars today in exchange for a little of your independence tomorrow? I suspect it might be, in the narrow short term, a net positive for some publishers, especially those with no hope of charging for their content. But it's also the sort of decision that one might look back on in a few years as the moment you got swindled.
It's easy to caricature the platform divide as an age one for news: Young people read on their phones, the middle-aged read on their laptops, and the elderly read in print or watch TV news. But of course, the reality is more complicated than that. Millennials are more likely to pay for news in print than in digital; Americans 65-plus have higher smartphone and tablet adoption rates than you might think. And the intersection of technological and demographic trends guarantee there will only be more older people interacting with more digital news in the future.
It's in that context that Melody Kramer — ex-public radio digital person, incoming Visiting Nieman Fellow — continues her admirable series of posts on breaking out of the news-nerd bubble and talking to real people about how they consume journalism. One recent post was about her neighbor Betty:
Today I walked to my friend Betty's apartment to drop off some spaghetti and meatballs. Betty is 89 and lives just up the street. She doesn't drive much anymore, though she still volunteers (at the White House, of all places.)
After we drank tea, I watched Betty read articles on her iPad. Her Internet was really slow. She kept accidentally clicking on the ads, or on parts of the story that she didn't mean to click on. And she was getting a bit frustrated and worried — that by clicking on something, she was going to install malware or not be able to return to her story.
There are 13 million people between the ages of 75 and 84 in the US. There are 5 million between the ages of 85 and 94. (census) That population will grow. At some point, it will be composed of digital natives but that's a while away. In the interim, are there better ways to design websites for this population? Are there better ways to design the news for them? Of course.
She proposed some ideas, and the post got some traction on Hacker News, where many said Betty and her generational peers were hardly the only ones who find navigating news sites treacherous. And one reader named Daniel Davis decided to go a step further and actually build a site called NewsForBetty.com, which aims for simple navigation and an aversion to user error. As Mel wrote in an update:
Last night, I went over to Betty's, and told her about all of this. First she said, "Does that mean I went viral?" Then we went to the site together. She loved it! She found it intuitive! She knew exactly what to do, without asking me — and she couldn't get lost on a homepage. Click a story, read a story, go back, do it again. That's it! It's now a bookmark on her iPad screen. Thank you so much Daniel!
Five of the biggest online news publishers in the world are joining up to form a supercontinent. For advertising.
With The Pangaea Alliance, The Guardian, CNN International, Reuters, The Financial Times, and The Economist are creating an advertising network they hope can capture premium rates from brands. Specifically, Pangaea is designed to capitalize on the rise in programmatic buying, allowing advertisers to access 110 million unique readers — "global influencers" — across the collection of sites.
More than just offering space for automated ad buying on the five sites, Pangaea will also give marketers access to the combined audience data of its publishers. That data will be anonymized, but offers big benefits to marketers, writes Jack Marshall in The Wall Street Journal's CMO Today:
"The data is crucial. One thing we can do together is share first-party data with each other and create unique, compelling audience segments," [Tim Gentry, global revenue director at Guardian News & Media and leader of the Pangaea project] explained. For example, subscription information from one publisher might be combined with behavioral information from other to create a detailed profile of a user that an advertiser is willing to pay a premium to reach.
Pangaea is being led by The Guardian, with plans to launch in April with display ads and later expand into other formats like native advertising and publisher trading desks.
Automated ad buying has increased in recent years as brands and agencies try to be more specific in the readership they reach on the web, and it's generally been a force for lowering the rates publishers receive from advertisers. For publishers, the hope is twofold: leverage the halo effect of your brand to attract advertisers and use the demographics of their audiences to push for better ad rates. One way publishers try that is through creating private networks that can protect their remnant inventory from being sold for pennies on the dollar.
Teaming up like this is a natural option in an environment where the scale any individual publisher has is dwarfed by the digital giants. As Gentry told Digiday: "The sort of quality audience and trusted relationships we have with the audience we have — at the scale we have it — doesn't get anywhere close to what some of the digital pure plays like LinkedIn or Twitter do."
According to a study from eMarketer, spending on programmatic display advertising was projected at $10 billion in 2014, making up almost half of the display market in the U.S. They estimate spending will double to $20 billion by 2016.While the digital advertising market presents great opportunity for publishers, it puts them in competition with giants like Facebook and Google. Those two dominate digital advertising, and, according to Pew's 2014 State of the Media report, news companies make up just 12 percent of the total digital ad market. This is not the first time publishers have tried to pull a Marvel Team-Up in the name of saving digital advertising revenue. In the pre-programmatic days, quadrantOne was a failed attempt by large American newspaper companies to provide a similar sort of scale. More recently, the Local Media Consortium launched as a collection of 1,200 local newspapers and TV stations working with Google in a private programmatic ad exchange. Rusty Coats, director of the Consortium, summed up the potential of private exchange to the Lab last year:
"What we learned early on with targeted selling was that if I wanted to sell, on a banner ad campaign, to women under 30 who were interested in fitness, and the only site I had to sell that on was the Knoxville News Sentinel, I did not have thousands of those women," Coats says. "I needed to have a partner like Yahoo, so I could have thousands of women under 30 who were interested in fitness, and target those banners at them. If you think about that on a global perspective of brands wanting to reach into local markets and sell millions if not billions of impressions against that — you being out there on your own as the hometown news — you're just not going to be coming up on the radar of these agencies."
|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?

Gallery: 10 Awesome Eco-Activities to Do This Earth Day
Happy Hikers, Shutterstock
1. Take a Hike
There is no better way to get back in touch with the Earth's rhythms than to actually go outdoors and experience its many wonders. This Earth Day, why not take a hike or go for a bike ride? Maybe even go kayaking? The point is, get outdoors, breathe the air, feel the sun on your cheeks and absorb some vitamin D. Even if you live in the city and don't have easy access to a lot of green space, you'd be amazed how even spending a short amount of time in an urban park will rejuvenate your soul.

2. Get Involved in a Community Garden
If you have never experienced the magic of rolling up your sleeves and digging up some earth, then now is the perfect opportunity. Gardening is a wonderful way to reflect on how much we depend on the earth for our survival. If you don't have your own garden or you live in a city, don't fret. A quick google search should lead you to at least one communal garden or rooftop garden and we're almost certain they won't turn down your help. Plus you'll get to meet new people who love the planet as much as you.

3. Do a Home Energy Audit
Not everyone has their own home, but if you do, nothing tells the planet "I love you" more than a home energy audit. Since most of the world is still powered by fossil fuels, that means your home is too, and if energy is pouring out of it because of poor construction, you are inadvertently releasing unnecessary greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Don't feel guilty about it because it's not your fault, but you can make a difference by calling up a certified auditing company to audit your home. They will tell you exactly what steps you need to take in order to tighten up your energy efficiency, like sealing windows and unplugging appliances.

Top town: South Berwick named best place in Maine to raise children
Sunday, January 13, 2013
"We have the most amazingly connected teachers," Nina D'Aran, Central School principal, said. "All the staff are continual learners who go above and beyond what's required. There's also tons of parents that volunteer and make the school really feel like a community," she added.
Many residents believe the reason South Berwick is so great is because of the community.
Paulina Pope, Silja's mother, is a stay-at-home mom who has lived in South Berwick for over ten years. She volunteers at the outdoor classroom.
"There's a real sense of community here," she said. "People really work together, regardless of political views."
Pope moved here from Boston, which she had loved, but thought was too noisy, polluted and busy.
"South Berwick is a great little town with a real village," Pope said. "People don't just come here to sleep."
One perfect example of why South Berwick is so great is the South Berwick Public Library, according to library director Karen Eger. The community worked together to raise over $1 million to renovate a new building for the library, which opened last March.
"And we did this in a recession," Eger said.

Elton John Slowing Down On Live Dates
Thursday, September 5, 2013
Elton John says that his recent surgery for an abscess of the appendix has convinced him to scale back his road work. Elton, who'll release his latest album, The Diving Board on September 24th, told The Telegraph that he's reevaluated his career and family life, explaining, "I knew I was sick, but I didn't know I had such a dangerous thing inside of me until I had a scan, which was after nine shows, 24 flights and a summer ball. I could have easily died at any point. Your sense of your mortality kicks in. This is a wake up call for me, it really is. I'm 66 not 36 anymore. I want to write another musical for Broadway and I want to spend more time with my children. I don't have to tour. I don't need the money."
He went on to say that the parental pull of his two sons, Zachary and Elijah, is his main reason for tapering off from long road treks: "I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing (diapers) kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way. . . I don't want to just be the father who reads them a bedtime story. I want to be one of the dads in the playground, there for parents' evenings, sports day. I've got all that ahead of me and I am so looking forward to it."
