So what is the status of life in the universe? This book examines this question and looks at what science is telling us about how we might discover the different signatures of life and confirm the major hypothesis in human history: that life and intelligence are universal phenomena. I like to call this the Grand Hypothesis because they don't come any grander.
Life is the greatest mystery in the universe. The chemical systems and molecular structures that keep every living thing alive are almost beyond comprehension in their complexity, yet they work perfectly. So we have to ask how it is that the universal physics and chemistry has not only created the galaxies, stars, and planets of the physical universe but also formed the basic molecular units that evolution has been able to put together to create complex life. Why, at a molecular level, should everything fit together and work? It's not the outward forms of life that most perplex us, though these are amazing in their infinite variety. It is what continually goes on within every living organism. Each one of us is composed of many billions of cells, and each cell is a factory of marvelous complexity, producing everything needed for life—from proteins to energy. So we have to ask ourselves if all this is the same or similar on other worlds—or substantially different. The range of possibilities must be limited by the universal physics and chemistry and what the process of evolution can do with this. But there's the rub. We don't know what evolution may be able to do. Only the detection of alien life may begin to answer our questions.
Astronomers tell us that the oldest sunlike stars are twice the age of the sun, which means that Earthlike planets orbiting such stars could have supported life a few billion years before its origin on our planet. However, as we know, life can be highly successful without intelligence, and many intelligent species can exist without one having the ability to create technologies. Here we stand alone in this respect, but what about all those other planetary systems? Judging from what has happened here and from the ages of the oldest sunlike stars, technologically intelligent creatures, our counterparts, could sometimes have evolved—and at any time from a few billion years ago. That's an immense period of time during which world civilizations could have developed advanced space programs and explored other planetary systems—at least by robotically controlled craft. So evidence of alien technology could be within the solar system. It seems more likely that intelligent signals are being broadcast from other planetary systems, signals that could be received in our time with our current level of technology. However, evidence of alien broadcasts or alien technology within the solar system would be clear signatures of life and intelligence in the universe.
The fact is that no one knows what the situation is out there or what we might be looking for, but we do have mainstream science to guide us, plus the scientific method to follow. That should be enough for the scientific investigation of ideas and possible relevant data. That is the position taken in this book: that ideas and data must lead to testable hypotheses. Otherwise we are not engaged in science. Testable hypotheses have to be based on what seems possible and on what we already know. A good example of this is the hypothesis that started the scientific discipline of SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence). It was published in the science journal Nature in September 1959, and its authors, Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi, two physics professors, suggested that the frequency of neutral hydrogen at 1420 MHz would be chosen by aliens who wanted to communicate with their neighbors. This speculation was based on the fact that hydrogen is more abundant than all other elements put together, and that it radiates this frequency from most of the celestial objects studied by our radio astronomers. Therefore, astronomers everywhere, in whatever life-form, might spot any artificial signals the frequency carried. It was such a persuasive hypothesis that, for the past fifty years, multimillion-dollar programs of radio astronomy have searched for signs of intelligence on that frequency and others near it. A little later, laser technology was developed to a stage where it was suggested that the aliens might prefer to communicate by very brief but intense flashes from lasers rather than by old-fashioned radio. This brought optical astronomers into SETI—and still does.
So both groups of astronomers are looking for evidence on the assumption that, given suitable physical and chemical conditions, life will form on planets and their moons, and that sometimes the equivalent of astronomers will evolve who wish to contact their cosmic neighbors. This might happen in only a tiny proportion of planetary systems, but with a few billion stars like the sun in our galaxy, there could be plenty of planets for the evolution of our fellow travelers in space and time.
However, the searches for radio or laser signals from these other worlds now seem unlikely to succeed for two reasons—and not because our counterparts have never existed. The probable reasons for the failure to find signals to confirm the universal nature of life are the vast expanses of time involved in the history of life on any suitable planet or moon before high intelligence can evolve, and also the speed with which technology develops once such high intelligence exists. These are obstacles to avoid in testing the Grand Hypothesis. And we will see later in this book how this can be done—and is being done. In assessing the justification for "testing," we must keep in mind that world civilizations that might be detectable would be far older than ours and supported by technologies beyond our power to imagine—because we are not yet familiar with the science that would support them. Also, we know from the fossil record and geology that watchful aliens might have detected the Earth as an inhabited planet from its spectral lines at any time during the past 350 million years, and probably for a much longer period. We know that those lines would have been radiating from the Earth during this immense period of time—and they still do—making our planet a target of interest. Consequently, the arrival of evidence such as probes from other worlds during the past 350 million years is not impossible. In fact, it looks a considerably better bet than the arrival of detectable alien broadcasts in our time. Many planetary civilizations could have evolved and become extinct during that period.
Nevertheless, we owe a lot to the scientists in astronomical SETI who still scan the galaxy for signals. They may not have found any aliens during the past fifty years, but they have made us think hard about the status of life in the universe and about the possibilities that other world civilizations exist or have existed in the past. Yet we still don't know if we are a one-off miracle or just a tiny sample of a spontaneous phenomenon that flourishes throughout the universe. And although we can never know if we are a one-off miracle, we can use science and technology to check if life and intelligence are inevitable products of the way our universe works.
But the territory to be explored is different from anything science has tackled before. Consequently the approaches to it are different—and more diverse. In the history of science there can have been few subjects open to attack from so many different angles, though you wouldn't think so from what is being published in the science journals. A few of these angles may seem too acute for comfort, but when the objective is to answer the most important question about life, we have to consider everything that might be relevant. Everyone is on the fringe in this line of research, supported more by speculation about what the relevant science may indicate than hard data. So it's essential to distinguish the "rational fringe" from the "lunatic fringe" and to stick closely to the tried and tested ways of science. It's the results from testing hypotheses that matter. Nothing else. We have to form hypotheses, where that is possible, and test them with the aim of getting repeatable results. But while we're waiting for someone to shout "Eureka," you can review the relevant science and the different projects being run by good scientists to test the Grand Hypothesis.

Tsuma Beni
does anyone know of an A. palmatum that grows higher than Tsuma Beni but looks similar to it?
Well size is always hard to estimate,most sizes quoted are for approx 10years growth but obviously a lot depends on how the plant is grown.However I have seen photos of very large 'Tsuma Beni' and it does appear to grow wider than tall with age.I guess you've already looked at 'Tsuma Gaki' which I assume has similar growth habits.If it's just the springtime 'red fingernail' look you're after,perhaps research 'Satsuki Beni'.It produces the red tips on the leaves but not for very long.Maybe as this cultivar has amoneum leaves it might be more upright and vigorous but mine is far too young to tell.
That's OK,I must admit I've only bought online once,from an english nursery(just 1year grafts).However we import a vast number of our maples from Holland.There are many nurseries there specialising in maples,Esveld & Dick Van der maat are the best known(http://www.esveld.nl/)(http://www.dvandermaat.com/)I'm sure Guy Maillot in France will stock it also(http://www.maillot-erable.com/)
Good luck with your searching :)

Nike Jr Mercurial Vapor VIII FG
The sleek new colorway to hit the Vapor VIII and premiered on the world stage at EURO 2012, the new Nike Jr Mercurial Vapor VIII FG in White and Solar Red is one of the hottest cleats of the year. Just like the rest of the Nike Clash Collection, the Jr Mercurial Vapor features a sharp white toe with a dipped heel in Solar Red. Every cleat in the Clash Collection features a different heel color to represent that cleat's style. Of course, the solar red of the Jr Vapor VIII signifies the flashy style and explosive speed of the players that wear it.
Nike Jr Mercurial Vapor VIII Design
Featuring the same soft & supple extra-thin teijin synthetic leather as the first Vapor VIII, this cleat is built to deliver maximum acceleration. Your foot will conform to the contoured speed last and stay locked down when you need stability at high speeds. The lightweight upper enhances ball feel, whether dribbling, passing or shooting. Through the midsole, players will love the low-profile cushioning of the perforated sockliner, while the textile top cloth preserves breathability. You'll feel the impact absorption through the ball of the foot and heel cup when you slam on the brakes or change directions. Lastly, the source of the explosive Mercurial speed: the full-length TPU outsole that's ultra-lightweight and optimizes players grip and traction in every direction. By the time they see you coming, you'll be going right past opponents.

This is one of the best prey series novels.
The story is so suspenseful.
Michael Becker, even though he is a sick, twisted man.
This book was so good, and it tied into the next one, so I immediately started listening to Silent Prey to find out what would happen next.
"Kilban makes a sissy of Mitch Rapp"
I won't purchase another book read by Ken Kilban !!!
The continuing saga of the CIA , Irene Kennedy, and Mitch Rapp.
Mr. Kilban made Mitch seem like a sissy and a wimp! He is way too dramatic in his reading. I felt like I was listening to ghost stories back at summer camp when I was a kid. If this had been the first Mitch Rapp audiobook that I had listened to...It would have been the last.
I listen to my audiobooks while in the car. The soft and loud speaking is hard to hear. When he is speaking softly I have to turn it up, then he gets loud and it's too loud and distracting.
There is and should be a follow-up book. The story line is too compelling to not follow with another book.
Please, no more Mitch Rapp books read by Ken Kilban!
"Lucas vs Becker Pt.2"
The pace and depth of the story.
When Lucas finally figured out how Becker was able to get close to his victims.
Michael Becker, Richard Ferrone made it seem like Becker was actually standing in front of me. I could feel the Insaneness in his voice.
Beauty and the Beast inside.
If a movie is made, don't cast Mark Harmon as Lucas. It needs to be someone more imposing to capture the essence of Lucas Davenport.
"Best Sigma Force Novel Yet"
This is my favorite audiobook so far.
This one is just a little better than Map of Bones.
Peter does a great job. He gives most of the characters their own personality.
If I could have, I would have listened to it in one sitting.
I really liked the introduction of Tucker and Kane. I look forward to them in future novels.

BMG Buys Virgin, Famous Music Catalog From Sony/ATV
BERLIN -- Music label BMG has signed a deal to acquire selected music publishing catalogs from Virgin Music Publishing, Famous U.K. Music Publishing and selected titles from Sony/ATV and EMI Music Publishing.
The deals give BMG, the world's fourth-largest music publishing company, worldwide rights to songs from recording artists such as Take That, Nirvana, Duffy and Iggy Pop.
The 21,000-song Virgin Publishing catalog includes such hits as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Robbie Williams' "Let Me Entertain You" and Pop's "Passenger." Hits from 1980s, such as Tears for Fears' "Shout," Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" and Human League's "Don't You Want Me" also highlight the catalogs BMG has acquired.
"These catalogs contain some of the most influential and successful songs in popular music," BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch said in announcing the deals Friday. "We are delighted to have won the opportunity to represent the writers of those songs and to demonstrate to them BMG's commitment to 21st century service."
The catalog deals are a result of Sony/ATV's $2.2 billion purchase of EMI's publishing arm during the summer. To secure European regulatory approval for the acquisition, Sony Music and the estate of Michael Jackson, who jointly control Sony/ATV, had to agree to see off various rights catalogs.
Financial details of the deals were not disclosed by BMG, backed by German media group Bertelsmann and private-equity house KKR, is thought to have bid about $90 million for the catalogs, beating out competitors including Warner Music and Saban Capital.

Back in 2009, a then 17-year-old woman in California visited a Kaiser Permanente office because she was experiencing strange back pain. In the months that followed, she and her mother say they repeatedly requested an MRI but Kaiser doctors would only tell her to lose weight or get acupuncture treatments. All the while, a cancerous tumor was growing that would eventually result in the surgical removal of her right leg, and parts of her pelvis and spine. Believing Kaiser could have caught the cancer earlier if it hadn't delayed the MRI, a jury has awarded the patient $28 million in damages. [More]

Court Throws Out NJ Turnpike's Lawsuit Against Pizzeria With Lookalike Logo

Several years ago, I attended a debate at the Rose Wagner Theater between two class candidates for Utah governor, Jon Huntsman Jr. and Scott Matheson Jr. After the debate, I was elated at the civility and courtesy each showed their opponent. It was also obvious they were both very smart and knowledgeable.
When I think back to that debate, I hope former Ambassador Huntsman is the same as he enters the presidential Republican primary. I do believe his smarts and civility will make him the best candidate.

Comments about Flash Furniture 72'' Round Plastic Folding Table, Granite White, 6/Pack:
We got the tables delivered and was sooooo excited to open them and check them out. The boxes took three old Legionnaires to unpack but we were able to get the outside off and lift them up. We put the legs up and stood them up. They looked very classy for our post. We hope to save a few more dollars and order more. We used them for a retirement party and the ladies decorated them all up with round table cloths. Do you have plastic round table cloths at your store? Can't wait to find out.

Cuspidor collectors here is one you definitely do not have and is a must have! This beautiful piece has a bright lemon yellow background with a white background on the underside of the rim. The artist has painted wonderful, stunning and bright country scenes on the front portion of the base and the back portion of the lip. The cottage and lake scenes are done in wonderful colors of blue, purple, green and browns. The artist has used precise small golden strokes to outline the trees, fences and house. The once gold rims are worn but are still visible in places. This piece has a small flaw or chip on the front corner that has been pained over. There are no cracks, manufacturing anomalies may exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc.
Backstamp: Mark 1 Urn with A K besides it and Limoges above used 1880

WINDOM -- Switching at halftime from man-to-man defense to an aggressive, trapping 1-2-2 zone, the Pipestone Arrows rallied throughout the game's last 18 minutes and claimed a thrilling 51-49 victory over Martin County West Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Section 3AA South Sub-section boys' basketball tournament. With the victory, the Arrows (13-11) advance to Saturday's championship game against the Fairmont Cardinals, who defeated top-seeded Tracy-Milroy-Balaton in the second semifinal, 60-46. MCW, the second-seeded team in the South, ends a fine season with an 18-8 mark.
WORTHINGTON -- Southwest Christian scored 18 straight points in the first half Saturday afternoon, as the second-seeded Eagles claimed a huge 44-19 halftime lead and earned an 85-63 victory over the seventh-seeded Fulda Raiders in the Section 3A South boys' basketball tournament quarterfinals. SWC (18-5) advances to the South semifinals Tuesday against third-seeded Adrian at 7:30 p.m. in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON -- In a closely-contested, defensive-oriented game, fourth-seeded Murray County Central held on to claim a hard-fought, 41-38, victory over fifth-seeded Westbrook-Walnut Grove Saturday afternoon in the second game of "Super Saturday's" Section 3A South sub-section high school boys' basketball tournament quarterfinals. The victory by the Rebels (15-11) advances MCC to Tuesday night's semifinal round, while the loss ends a fine season for the Chargers (16-9), who will return their entire starting line-up next winter. "We did have a good season and we did play hard today," W-WG head
WORTHINGTON -- Behind a combined 60 points from the trio of Brett Oertli, Danny Parsley and Brian Tjepkes Saturday night, the third-seeded Adrian Dragons hit 11 three-pointers and constructed a 22-point, second-half lead before holding off a late charge from sixth-seeded Red Rock Central to capture an 83-70 victory over the Falcons in a Section 3A South boys' basketball tournament quarterfinal game. Adrian (16-8, 12-2 since Jan. 18) will play second-seeded Southwest Christian in the South semifinals Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON -- Getting another triple double from all-around sensation Cody Schilling, along with double figure scoring from three other players, defending Class A state champion Ellsworth rolled to an impressive 88-47 victory over Hills-Beaver Creek Saturday afternoon in the opening game of the Section 3A South sub-section boys' basketball tournament quarterfinals. The victory vaults the Panthers (25-2) into Tuesday night's semifinals where they will tangle with Murray County Central in a 6 p.m.
MARSHALL -- Scoring 14 of the last 17 points in the final five minutes Friday night, the South-champion Southwest Star Concept Quasars stretched a 45-44 lead into a 59-47 victory over the North-champion Russell-Tyler-Ruthton Knights to capture the Section 3A girls' basketball championship for the first time in the 11-year history of the school. SSC (Heron Lake-Okabena) will play in next week's Class A state tournament Thursday at 3 p.m.
WORTHINGTON -- I don't know just how many of you have ever heard of the Topeka Shiner before, but this little minnow has been the topic of more than a few heated conversations over the last 10 years or so. The Topeka Shiner is a small, stout minnow that lives in the Missouri River watershed in Minnesota. The range of the Topeka shiner used to be very large and included SW Minnesota, Iowa, and other states like Kansas and Missouri. The population of this minnow has declined seriously over the last 20 years and they now exist in only 10 percent of their original range.
ELLSWORTH -- In one of the area's most anticipated boys' basketball games of the year, the small-school Ellsworth Panthers built a 14-point lead in the first half and later broke open a one-point game with a 10-0 run in the second half to earn a 67-54 victory over the big-school Worthington Trojans in a Nobles County non-conference showdown Thursday night. Six-foot-eight sophomore Trevor Gruis (15 rebounds, six assists) scored 15 of his team-high 24 points and had a trio of two-handed dunks in the second half, while 6-5 senior Cody Schilling charted a triple-double (23 points, 13 rebounds, 10
SLAYTON -- Utilizing the sizzling long-range shooting talents of senior guard Travis Vollmer, the sixth-seeded Red Rock Central Falcons prevailed Thursday night, claiming a hard-fought, 59-54, victory over Edgerton in an opening round game of the Section 3A South sub-section high school boys' basketball tournament. Vollmer, who sank a 3-pointer from the left corner on the game's first possession, netted three straight treys early in the second half to help the Falcons hold off several gallant charges by the 11th-seeded Flying Dutchmen. Vollmer, in fact, scored RRC's f
OKABENA -- Currently riding a 12-game winning streak -- including three straight tournament victories over teams they lost to during a four-game stretch in the regular season -- the Southwest Star Concept Quasars appear to be peaking at the right time of the season. SSC (21-6) will look to continue its improvement and extend that winning streak Friday night, as the Quasars will take on the Russell-Tyler-Ruthton Knights (24-5) in the Section 3A girls' basketball championship game at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall.

"Picture was ideal, the pictures on your website are a good replication of the real thing.
One thought though.
Whilst looking at the picture from the front the picture looks great. However from an angle you see the unfinished linen white border. I think it would be better to have the border either a colour that matches the main body of the picture or an overlap of the main picture
Its jusy an observation.

"I am delighted with the website, the huge selection of art available, the service, speed of delivery and quality of the print I selected. I placed my order yesterday morning, received an e-mail confirming despatch and it arrived at 11 a.m. today. Thank you so much. Last year I ordered two framed prints from your company (then named EasyArt) and was equally impressed by the service and quality."

"I loved the selection as it was never ending. It might help to have the sizes one next to the other (like a picture of all of them) to understand the difference, instead of clicking into it. Otherwise, really well done!!!"

THE LURE30 minutes north of Hurghada lies the resort of El Gouna, featuring a lattice work of waterways, housing, hotels, restaurants, bars, a world class golf course and a brand new cable park. El Gouna must be the most sophisticated of all Red Sea kiting spots. A man-made dream of a town that not only caters for the kiting tourist, but attracts holidaymakers from all over Europe looking for a safe, luxurious holiday and also has a lively local population of 20,000 ex-pats who all call this 'French Riviera of the Red Sea', home.
THE SET-UPThere are two main kitesurfing areas. The wind is predominantly from the north, making it cross/cross-on from the left at Buzzha and Mangroovy beaches which are north of El Gouna town, while the second spot at the Moevenpick hotel is five minutes south. From town, all spots are just a very short tuc-tuc ride away. The first thing to note about El Gouna is that all spots are very tide dependent, more so in summer than winter. At high tide you can ride everywhere. At low tide you have to be careful as it does get shallow, so you'll be riding at different times of the day depending on when you book your holiday and we found that there is more water at low tide at the northern end of Mangroovy/Buzzha up by Kiteboarding Club. There is some great flat water on offer here though in general, and only a couple of hours where you'll have to chill by the pool rather than ride.
Buzzha and Mangroovy are the main spots. The wind is predominantly cross-shore from the left and the gently shelving beach means that there is an enourmous amount of shallow water for beginners as well as deeper water on the outside. There are three centres spread out along the beach here, Kiteboarding Club El Gouna being the furthest north and most upwind, so starting from there and heading upwind you have a massive, quiet area that opens up to you if you're competent.
Although a little gustier than Mangroovy, there is another smaller private launch at the Moevenpick hotel downwind of the city harbours. You can pay a day rate to kite there if you're not staying at the hotel. Tends not to be so busy as it's within the hotel grounds but is much smaller with a swimming area downwind.
At low tide (or for beginners all the time) booties are 'recommended' at both spots although plenty of good riders go barefoot. As with most of Egypt there are compressors and helpers on the beach to launch and land your kites and even put them away for you!
WIND, WEATHER AND WATERA reef lying a few hundred metres from the shore creates a waist-deep lagoon between it and the beach. Outside of the reef is a large deep water channel and then some shallower sandbars further out. The wind at Buzzha Beach always comes clean and consistently cross-shore from the left and the beach is enourmous, so you can pick your spot.
Egypt is a year-round kiting destination, but summer months are most consistent. Midday mid-summer temps can reach up to 40°C / 104°F! The water is incredibly warm as you'd expect and you won't feel any chill on the water at that time in just your boardies. The closer you get to winter the more chill in the wind and you'll start to need a spring suit around October. The water never really drops below 20°C and the winter is still seriously good for some R&R as the whole place will be much quieter, but still with respectable air temperatures.
ACCOMMODATIONEl Gouna has many fantastic hotels to choose from, ranging from the intimate and friendly three star hotels, like the Captain's Inn, to luxury four or five start full-on resorts. Kiteboarding Club can also arrange a complete package for you.
SCHOOLSTHE KITEBOARDING CLUB EL GOUNA have a long, private section of beach at Buzzha Beach. By far the biggest, shallow lagoon in El Gouna, offering ideal conditions for learning and progression, the centre is open all year and run by a team of VDWS instructors, with helpful beach staff, a rescue boat, three compressors, a professional kite repair workshop, gear rentals, free wifi and more. Buzzha Beach Restaurant is right on the spot.

NO WINDThere's so much to do! Take a boat ride around the lagoons on which the town itself is built, play golf, sail, dive, karting, paintballing, SUPing down the lagoons or take a sunset cruise. A state-of-the-art cable park has just opened up, too! Hurghada is just 30 minutes back down the road if you need more hustle and bustle.
GET AROUNDEl Gouna was built with the tourist in mind, so everything you need is here and nowhere is more than five or ten minutes on the little buses for which you can buy a weekly ticket for about EGP13. No need for a hire car as you can also just catch a tuc-tuc to get about and they'll fit your kiting gear in. The hotel will organise a transfer, otherwise get in touch with our friends at Spring Tours for any kind of excursion, big or small. www.springtours.com / email@example.com. For more information visit www.elgounamap.com.
CURRENCYEgyptian pound (EGP) - £1 = EGP11 / €1 = EGP9 / US$1 = EGP7. There are ATM's in town and the marina. Credits cards widely accepted.
FOOD AND DRINKThere are loads of restaurants suiting every palate and pocket, and there are plenty of bars, though in comparison to Hurghada, things are much more tame here and you won't be raving in a club 'til 6am. The Buzzha Beach Bar is located at Kiteboarding Club and offers a huge menu for hungry kitesurfers. El Gouna as a self sufficent town, designed from scratch by a single developer, is super clean, friendly and very well set-up for all you could need.
AIRPORTHurghada (HRG): about a 30 minute transfer north of Hurghada. Taxis are fairly cheap.

Greg Jarboe | May 10, 2013 | Comments
YouTube is launching a pilot program for a small group of partners that will offer paid channels on YouTube with subscription fees starting at $0.99 per month. Paid channels will become available to more qualifying partners in coming weeks.
The YouTube team has finally launched a pilot program for a small group of partners that will offer paid channels on YouTube – a move that had been expected since January.
YouTube has been building a partner program since 2007 that enables content creators to earn revenue for their creativity. And these content creators have built a broad spectrum of channels that have made YouTube into a news, education, and entertainment destination that 1 billion people around the world visit monthly.
According to YouTube, there are more than 1 million channels generating revenue today, and one of the most frequent requests that the creators behind them make to YouTube is for more flexibility in monetizing and distributing content.
In response, YouTube is launching a pilot program for a small group of partners that will offer paid channels on YouTube with subscription fees starting at $0.99 per month. Every channel has a 14-day free trial, and many offer discounted yearly rates.
For example, UFC fans can see classic fights, like a full version of their first event from UFC's new Select channel. And Jim Henson Family TV will be offering ad-free, exclusive content for a special introductory price of only $2.99/month, or $24.99/year.
Click on paid channels for a list of the pilot channels in the program. Users who subscribe will be able to watch paid channels on a computer, phone, tablet, and TV. And YouTube hints that subscribers will soon be able to subscribe to channels from "more devices."
"This is just the beginning. We'll be rolling paid channels out more broadly in the coming weeks as a self-service feature for qualifying partners," according to the Official YouTube Blog . "And as new channels appear, we'll be making sure you can discover them, just as we've been helping you find and subscribe to all the channels you love across YouTube.
"Just as the partner program empowered creators to take their channels to the next level, we look forward to seeing how this great community of creators moves ahead with a new way to reach the fan communities that made their channels a hit. You'll be hearing more from us, and them, as we get creator and user feedback and build out this exciting offering.
Content creators who are interested in building their own paid channel can fill out a sign up form.
While there are 53 channels in the Paid Channels pilot program, that's still an incredibly small percentage of the more than a million creators from over 30 countries around the world earning money from their YouTube videos. So, the vast majority of YouTube Partners are likely to continue monetizing their content with advertising.
That's why YouTube recently announced that the video-sharing website had hit the incredible milestone of 1 billion unique monthly visitors. The company also announced that more than 6 billion hours of video are watched on YouTube each month.
And that's why YouTube made this announcement at their Brandcast event for advertisers in New York. The amount of money to be made from advertising dwarfs the amount to be made from subscriptions. That event included a tribute to "Our YouTube Community."
Nevertheless, one-size does not fit all. So, in addition to its efforts to boost advertising from brands like T-Mobile, Samsung, Dove and Pepsi, YouTube is also offering more flexibility in monetizing and distributing content.
The cable TV industry offers a similar mix of paid and basic channels. And its worth noting that Nielsen says that YouTube reaches more U.S. adults ages 18-34 than any cable network.

Julian Savea back for Hurricanes
ESPN Staff
May 2, 2013
The Hurricanes need Julian Savea to be at his rampaging best in South Africa © Getty Images
Julian Savea has been recalled to the Hurricanes team to face the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, the Wellington team's first match in South Africa this season.
Savea missed the Hurricanes' Super Rugby round 11 loss to the Stormers, the All Blacks winger standing down after he was remanded on bail after facing one charge of assault following a domestic incident.
Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett says including Savea wasn't a difficult decision.
"Obviously he's been the form winger in the competition in some respects, so that was an easy one," he said. "But we need a collective big effort against the Bulls - it won't just be Jules, it'll be the collective group."
Hammett knows exactly what to expect from the South African conference-leading Bulls. With accuracy at the line-outs, intensity at the breakdown, a dauntingly effective rolling maul and a white-hot home atmosphere at Loftus Versfeld, the Bulls present intimidating opponents.
Discipline will be also be key for the Hurricanes, with eagle-eyed five-eighth Morne Steyne's accuracy bound to punish any misdemeanours.
"They're not going to change a lot, but what they do, they do very well and they do it at good intensity," Hammett said on Thursday. "We've got to try and shut down the set piece, and certainly shut down those first launches they have ... If we can get them kicking, that should be a win."
The other changes to the side see Ash Dixon named to make his first Super Rugby start, replacing Motu Matu'u at hooker, and Tusi Pisi running out at second five-eighth instead of benched Tim Bateman.
The Hurricanes will continue a 5/2 split on the bench, with Reggie Goodes and Jack Lam returned to the 22.
Hurricanes: Andre Taylor; Alapati Leiua, Conrad Smith (captain), Tusi Pisi, Julian Savea; Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara; Victor Vito, Karl Lowe, Brad Shields; Jason Eaton, Jeremy Thrush; Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Ash Dixon, Ben Franks. Replacements: Reggie Goodes, Ben May, Mark Reddish, Faifili Levave, Jack Lam, Chris Smylie, Tim Bateman

I entered the following sql query in phpmyadmin, it successfully inserted a new record.
INSERT INTO `table` (id, timestamp) VALUES (1, '2013-09-18 13:00')
However, when I try to use it using php.
$query = "INSERT INTO `table` (id, timestamp) VALUES (1, '2013-09-18 13:00')";
$result = mysql_query($query, $cms2013) or die("error:".mysql_error());
It throws error like this:
error:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '13:00)' at line...
Can someone provide me some hints? Thank you.
