Alpha Scholarship Drive: The Future of Science Fiction is in Your Hands
March 10, 2015
Writing genre fiction can be a lonely business for teens. The Alpha SF/F/H Workshop brings together young writers, aged 14 to 19, for ten days of creation and peer review critiques. At the end of the workshop, students leave with new skills and a vibrant network of support.
Alphans have published in dozens of markets, including Lightspeed, Clarkesworld, Analog and Strange Horizons. Many of them have placed and won in contests such as The Dell Magazine Award, Writers of the Future, and the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.
Tamora Pierce, author of young adult series such as Protector of the Small and The Provost's Dog, has instructed at the workshop every year since its inception. This year, instructors include Ellen Kushner, author of the beloved Riverside books recently adapted into an award winning Audible series, Delia Sherman of Freedom Maze fame, and the Andre Norton-award winning Alaya Dawn Johnson.
Alpha works hard to keep costs low–every staff member is a volunteer, and the tuition is kept at the lowest possible level–but prospective students often require financial aid. This year–as they have for the past several–alumni have contributed writing and art to an illustrated flash fiction anthology and offered it as a donor reward in the entirely alumni-organized scholarship fund drive.
The Alpha alumni fundraiser will run March 17-26. Would you consider giving us a signal boost? Donations really do change the course of our young writers' lives.
To learn more about the Alpha SF/F/H Young Writers' Workshop, please visit the Alpha website, and check out our latest video, featuring interviews with Bruce Coville and Tamora Pierce.
For more information please contact:
Publicity Coordinator Lara Elena Donnelly
(502) 812-9158
There you have it folks. Your donation will help these youngsters become the kind of writers you want to read. A worthwhile cause that you can support and even benefit from down the line.
As a further incentive all donors receive the Alphanthology, a PDF anthology of flash fiction written, illustrated, and edited by Alpha alumni. Surely that's worth a sawbuck? Check out the Alpha site for more details and to make your donation today!
Guest Post by Ann Leckie: Personhood and Song
Ann Leckie has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, a lunch lady, and a recording engineer. The author of many published short stories, and secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America, she lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband, children, and cats.
What does it mean to be human? It's a really difficult question to answer, and one that science fiction and fantasy are particularly well-suited to tackling. Not that there's ever been any sort of simple answer even (especially?) through fiction, but SF&F can present us with a range of characters that test the boundaries of what it means to be a person, and what that might imply about what it means to be human.
Androids and artificial intelligences are a favorite vehicle for this sort of exploration. If you build a machine that looks or acts just like a person, what's the difference? Is there one? Is that difference important? Why? It was a question I was going to have to consider, a question that was, in some ways, going to be crucial to my novel, Ancillary Justice.
The narrator of Ancillary Justice is the troop carrier Justice of Toren. And also a unit of twenty bodies slaved to Justice of Toren, the ancillary unit Justice of Toren One Esk. My narrator is an artificial intelligence that's also made up of human bodies. What sort of being is this?
Book Giveaway: Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
It's been awhile since we last had a contest and the folks at Orbit have given us the chance top rectify that by providing us with an autographed copy of Ann Leckie's debut novel Ancillary Justice to give away to one lucky winner. You've likely already heard about this one. It was just released yesterday in the US and UK and has been making the rounds all over the blogosphere with much fanfare. This one looks a winner, folks, and I was sorely tempted to keep it for myself. This is another re-tweet this tweet, share on Facebook or post in the comments below contest so you know what to do. We'll run this 'till next Wednesday when we'll announce our winner.
In addition to the contest we'll be featuring an author interview and a guest post from Ann Leckie herself later this week so stay tuned for those.
Ancillary Justice
by Ann Leckie
On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.
Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.
100 Women Authors Added for the Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge
One of the motivating factors behind the Worlds Without End Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge was a desire on our part to improve our author gender balance on the site. We built WWEnd around the big awards so we could get the most familiar books and authors into our database first. While that was a solid strategy to get the ball rolling one of the unfortunate results was a real lack of women authors going in. When we expanded to cover the "best of" lists like the SF Mistressworks we started getting more and more women into the site but it still didn't do enough to right the ship.
The WoGF Reading Challenge is our concerted effort to do something positive to address the issue here and perhaps out in the community at large. From the outset we set ourselves the goal of adding at least 100 new women authors to the site over the course of the year and we're happy to announce that we've reached our goal already.
Better than 80% of these authors are the result of member requests. We asked you who you wanted to see and you responded with well over 100 author requests in the first couple weeks (with more being requested all the time) and we've been plugging away at that list ever since. The other 20% are the result of new awards and lists we've added to the site. The Mythopoeic Award in particular was a big contributor.
We've still got a long way to go in our quest for gender balance but this is nice milestone for everyone involved in the challenge. Thank you all for your support of the WoGF!
So, what do you do when you reach a milestone? You set out towards the next, of course! I think we can reach 150 for sure so let's move the marker out to 175 to make things interesting. So many more authors, so little time. Wish us luck!
New Voices: Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed
Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed
Published : DAW Books, 2012
Awards Nominated: 2012 Nebula and 2013 Hugo awards
Awards Won: 2013 Locus Award for Best First Novel
Saladin Ahmed is a poet, as well as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, and he maintains a website. While he has a quantity of public short fiction and poetry, Throne of the Crescent Moon is his first novel. Out of his short fiction, he was twice nominated for the John W. Campbell award for Best New Writer for "Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela", which was also nominated for a Nebula Award (and is available online).
Ahmed's first novel, Throne of the Crescent Moon, is a sword and sorcery tale set in an Arabic world, featuring a power struggle around the titular throne. While magic is pretty common in the capital city of Dhamsawaat, the townsfolk are more concerned with the corrupt Khalif and rebellious Falcon Prince than any possible threat from ghuls or djenn. As a result, professional ghul hunting has become a largely thankless task, though the elderly, messy, curmudgeonly hunter Adoulla Makhslood still risks life and limb to protect people from the occasional ghul.
Ask Seanan McGuire Anything – The Interview
This is the second in our Ask an Author Anything interview series and this time we have multiple Hugo nominated author Seanan McGuire (AKA Mira Grant). The way it works, as you may recall from our first post, is that we get questions from our members and visitors who then vote on their own questions. We take the most popular questions asked and send them off to the author.
We arranged this interview through Seanan's, or perhaps I should say Mira Grant's, publicist at Orbit who again has sent along some books for us to give away. Check out the details at the end of the interview for your chance to win! In addition to this interview Seanan did a guest blog post with us where she tried mightily to gross us out about parasites the subject of her newest book as Mira Grant, Parasite, coming out from Orbit at the end of October. You don't want to miss that post… or maybe you do. Now, on to the interview!
WWEnd: Your Newsflesh series have received nominations for the Hugo, Philip K. Dick, and Shirley Jackson awards. You don't normally see that combination of awards given for the same book. Which nomination meant the most to you personally?
SMG: The Hugo, definitely. The Philip K. Dick and Shirley Jackson awards are incredible honors, and I squealed when I was notified of the nominations, but I've been dreaming of the Hugo since I was a little girl watching Ray Bradbury Presents in my grandmother's living room. Having a rocket for fiction of my very own would mean the absolute world to me.
WWEnd: It was reported last year that you had optioned film rights for Feed. Are we any closer to seeing your story on the silver screen? If you had the opportunity, would you want to write the screenplay?
SMG: This is a question I get a lot, and it makes me cringe, because people never seem to want to believe the honest answer. Here is the honest answer: If I knew anything that I was allowed to tell you, it would have been announced already. That doesn't mean I know things I can't tell you. I may know nothing at all. I may not even know whose shoes these are. But I am very vocal about the things that I'm allowed to say, and I'm incredibly scrupulous about not saying things I'm not supposed to. As to whether I'd write the screenplay, no, I would not. That's not my art form, and I'm too close to the material to clearly see what needs to be cut in order to make the jump to another medium.
Richard Matheson Leaves A Great Legacy
You may or may not know Richard Matheson by name, but it's likely that you know his work. His 1954 novel, I Am Legend, has been adapted to film three different times, and was the precursor to the earliest zombie films (it was the inspiration for Night of the Living Dead). I Am Legend appears on some of the most prestigious lists that WWEnd covers, including those of the Guardian, NPR and SF Masterworks. Another novel, The Shrinking Man, appears on five such lists, and was also a blockbuster in 1957. His horror novel, Hell House, is one of the top 100 in its field according to Nightmare Magazine, and also made it to the silver screen. Matheson's psychic thriller, A Stir of Echoes, was adapted to film twice, and his super romantic time-travel novel, Bid Time Return, may be better known to you as that Christopher Reeves/Jane Seymour 1980 classic Somewhere in Time.
Mr. Matheson's influence was far bigger than just genre fiction. He made his mark on the culture at large, and that is a rare accomplishment.
He died Sunday, at age 87.
Neil Gaiman's Last American Book Crawl
Neil Gaiman is about to launch what is billed as his last US signing tour:
I think the OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE tour will be the last actual signing tour I ever do. They're exhausting, on a level that's hard to believe. I love meeting people, but the sixth hour of signing, for people who have been standing in a line for seven hours, is no fun for anybody. (The last proper US signing I did, it lasted over 7 hours and I signed for over 1000 people. I'd suspect a lot of the signings on this tour will be like that, or bigger.)
My God, He's Full of Stars
Arthur C. Clarke is finally getting a home worthy of his prose:
Though the author of "2001: A Space Odyssey" died in 2008 in Sri Lanka, scientists from NASA today announced plans to send his DNA into orbit around the sun in 2014 aboard the Sunjammer, an astonishing solar-powered spacecraft.
Wired explains the Sunjammer project:
The Sunjammer project is named after science fiction author Arthur C Clarke's story of the same name. The story centres around a spaceship designer John Merton who develops a vehicle with a large solar sail powered entirely by radiation pressure. These fictional sun-yachts can achieve speeds of 2,000 miles an hour within a day, pushed simply by sunlight.

Guest Post: Mira Grant Talks Parasites
Mira Grant, author of the wildly popular Newsflesh zombie trilogy, has a new plan for creeping you the fuck out. In this guest post she shares some fun facts about parasites that she discovered doing research for her newest creeptastic book called, you guessed it, Parasite. You can practically hear her cackling with glee while she's trying to make our skin crawl but what else can you expect from the Zombie Queen? Enjoy!
They can modify of the behavior of supposedly more "complex" organisms, turning them into incubators and caretakers at the expense of their own lives (and the lives of their young). They can survive in dramatically different environments over the course of their often metamorphic lives, going from open water to the gut of a bird to the weeping sores on a human's leg (hint: don't go wading in any water you don't know intimately). They infect everything. You, me, the world–this planet belongs to the parasites, and we're only tolerated because they've got to get their take-out somewhere.
In case the preceding wasn't enough of a hint for you, I'm Mira Grant, and I love parasites. They have shaped the evolution and development of life on this planet to a degree that we're still trying to accurately map, and there are indications that they may be responsible for a lot of things that we enjoy. Like gendered reproduction. Studies on otherwise identical populations of snails living in isolated lakes have shown that snails who reproduce parthenogenically (basically via self-cloning, a trick that can also be accomplished by some lizards, some fish, and the Komodo dragon, in case you never wanted to sleep again) have a higher instance of fluke parasitism than snails who reproduce in a sexual manner. The blending of genes inherent in sexual reproduction creates children who stand a better chance of resisting cataclysmic parasitic infection. So if you like sex, thank the parasites.
But parasites don't just give us gender and hence sex and all the fun things you can do with it. They also give us real-world zombies, creatures whose wills have been totally hijacked by their parasitic masters. Parasites may be tiny (for the most part–some tapeworms can grow dauntingly, damagingly large) but they're capable of some incredibly big things. Our immune systems have evolved in tandem with these parasitic visitors, a continual biological arms race with the end goal being nothing less than ownership of the human body. We think we're winning. The parasites, if they could think, would probably think that it was just a matter of time.
As you can probably guess, I'm a lot of fun at the dinner table. Especially right now, when I'm full of fun facts about the wonderful world of parasites. Fun facts like "let's talk about parasitic cysts in your sashimi" and "do you know why you shouldn't eat undercooked pork?" (My friends have gotten very, very good at distracting me with ice cream.) Researching the book that would eventually become Parasite was some of the most fun I've had since I was initially consulting doctors on the best way to raise the dead. I read books. I read technical papers. I read more books in order to understand the technical papers. I attended lectures, visited museums, and watched several necropsies of local animals thought to be suffering from parasitic infection (spoiler alert: most of them were, which is why we don't eat roadkill). I met the parasitic world in the best possible way: by looking at it, delighting in it, and learning to respect it. These little creatures possess the power to really ruin a person's day. I like that in a biological organism.
Parasites are wonderful. I hope you can learn to love them like I do, or at least come to really understand why restaurants have all those "do not eat undercooked seafood" warnings.
Yay, parasites!
Mira Grant's newest book is Parasite, out on October 29 from Orbit.
From New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant, a high-concept near-future thriller.
A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease.
We owe our good health to a humble parasite – a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system – even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.
But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives… and will do anything to get them.
Thanks for the post, Mira… I think. I'm not sure I'll be able to enjoy my sashimi like I used to but I'm looking forward to the new book. For you other Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire fans out there we're collecting questions for an author interview this month so don't miss your chance to Ask Mira Grant Anything.

Special-Needs TV Show
Name of Show:The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Date of Review:10/8/10
My Review
I have been watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager through Netflix, and it features a young man with Down syndrome.The typically developing teens are all a mess, the show focuses on the "sexual" side of high school life. The main character, a sweet, girl who is in the school band and not particularly popular, gets pregnant from a one-night stand with the school bad-boy -- who is charming, witty, and oh so sexually reactive due to his own abuse history. The young man with Down Syndrome, Tom, is the most level-headed character in the whole show! He is intuitive, insightful, and "cuts to the chase" with his truthfulness. He becomes the friend of all the people in the show, he takes on many challenges that would emotionally deter most people. I find this show interesting as this is a good, positive role model of a character with a disability -- and the actor actually HAS the disability. And it makes me feel a bit better about having a 17 year old son with Cerebral Palsy and cognitive delays -- he's not going to get someone pregnant, he's not drinking and drugging, driving too fast, getting piercings -- he is just my boy -- sweet, happy, innocent and lover of all of life's little everyday miracles. Gotta embrace the blessing of parenting our kids as they come!:)
Is there a particular episode you recommend?
It is a pretty interesting show all around. Start with the pilot so you know what is going on and the complex relationships. I feel this show presents a positive role model of how parents could respond to their teens in rational, responsible, loving, but firm ways.
Is there a particular episode you have concerns over?
Not really. There is a lot of acceptance of what is -- "yes I am upset, yes this is hard, but together we will help you get through it."
How could the show improve?
Overall I am pleased with the writing and direction of the show. good character development. keep character evolving, growing and changing.
What stories would you like to see this show do?
So far, so good

911 call from PG&E power plant implosion released
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A local man remains in a Fresno-area hospital with serious injuries to his legs following the implosion gone wrong at the PG&E plant in northwest Bakersfield.
23ABC just obtained the 911 tape following that blast.
Watch the video above to hear the call.
That was the wife of Jerry Wood, 43, seen in this picture. He is being treated at community regional medical center in Fresno.
A hospital spokesperson told our ABC affiliate KFSN that Wood remains in critical condition.
They also say his family has asked for privacy.
Wood suffered severe damage to his legs Saturday, after shrapnel from the demolition flew across Coffee Road, through a chain link fence, and hit him.
Meanwhile, the investigation into what went wrong during the blast is in the hands of CAL OSHA this morning.
The agency says it's looking into the company that planted and set off the detonation, Alpha Explosives, because workers were exposed to danger.
The California Public Utilities Commission is also investigating the blast.

De Girolamo was born in Chesterfield, but qualifies for the Azzurri through his Italian father.
And after a string of impressive displays at youth level, he has been recommended by scouts to Serie A leaders Juventus, while Rafa Benitez's Napoli are also thought to be keen.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has also kept a close eye on his progress.

SIXTEEN-TIME Uganda league champions SC Villa are ready to compete in the 25th RPF anniversary football championship scheduled to kick off on December 15 at Stade de Kigali.
In an exclusive interview with Times Sport, SC Villa's technical chairman Sam Tamale Kapeera said that the team has been training at Villa Park under coach Paul Nkata for the past one month.
"We are very ready for the tournament and we will be representing Uganda well. RPF and its leaders are very attached to the club," he said.
He added, "The late Fred Rwigema used to sit on our bench when we used to play while President Paul Kagame was a club's diehard fan and a real sportsman. His desire for sports encouraged many to play football."
SC Villa chairman Fred Muwema said recently that President Kagame supported SC Villa during his stay in Uganda in the 80s and early 90s. Muwema noted that the late Rwigyema was a distinguished supporter of the club.
Villa SC, Uganda's leading football club, has won more laurels than all others put together. They won 13 league titles and 7 Ugandan Cup titles.
SC Villa was the first Ugandan club to clinch a local 'Double'. That record was extended to six 'Doubles' in 2002. From 1998 through 2004, they won 7 consecutive championship titles.
Villa SC a.k.a. Jogoo (Big Cockerel), who are ranked sixth on this season's football league standings, are the most consistent on the continent, featuring in two consecutive finals of the Cecafa Kagame Cup and CAF Cup in 1991 and 1992, respectively.
The 25th RPF anniversary football tournament starts on December 15 with giants APR locking horns with Burundi's Vital'O at Stade de Kigali.
On December 16, Rayon Sports will face SC Villa on the same venue. The third position play-off and the final match will be played on December 18.

The stories in Dubliners are generally considered to have charm, delicacy, and some mystery and symbolical tension. Their style is controlled, deliberately simple, unpolished, not lacking in skill, yet in places the stories betray the ineptitude of the inexperienced, young author. Joyce was only twenty-two, and he had written only a handful of sentimental poems, when AE (George Russell) asked him if he wanted to contribute some stories to the Irish Homestead. AE sent him an example from the paper, a story called "The Old Watchman" by Berkeley Campbell. In response, Joyce wrote "The Sisters", published on 13 August 1904, a rough and rather puzzling sketch of a young boy and a priest who dies, with very little p…

In the Red Kitchen is Michèle Roberts' fifth novel, and marks a shift in her work from tentative, experimental projects to a more definitive authorial style. While her earlier works experimented with a range of narrators and narrative styles, this novel is the first in a series which is recognisable for certain central concerns. These include a continuing fascination with nineteenth-century figures and their relation to the present; two or more central narrative voices; and the betrayal of women by women. The exception to this is Flesh and Blood (1994), the only novel which deviates significantly from Roberts' distinct later style, and may be regarded either as a return to the experimental narrative forms most visible in h…

You're taken to the Grand Casino Roulette Wheel, which spins and you win your stake per line multiplied by the amount shown on the Roulette Wheel. When the wheel stops on a Roulette Wheel symbol, the award values are upgraded and the wheel spun again.
If you enter the Roulette Wheel Bonus by triggering more than 3 symbols additional spaces on the Roulette Wheel will take you to an upgraded prize wheel.
Free Spins Bonus Round
Three or more Dice symbols anywhere in view on the game screen will trigger the Free Spins Bonus. The bonus will begin by awarding 10 Freespins and a bonus prize of 2x your stake.
Free spins are played automatically and at the same number of lines and bet per line as the initiating game.
During the Free Spins Bonus Round you are able to collect additional free spins, which are simply added to the number of spins remaining. The bonus ends when either there are 0 free spins remaining or 999 free spins have been played.
All line pay symbols must appear on a played line and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far left reel.
Only highest winner paid on each winline.
Only one award paid per winline.

This cover is amazing!! I use the flip inserts & I also use prefolds & works amazing..easy to wipe. I'm so glad I purchased this product because its worth every penny.
Posted by JessM on 5th Sep 2012
I was a bit leery of the fit of the cover at first, but grew to really like it once I used it several times and figured out the best positioning on my LO. I also was skeptical of the inserts, afraid they would shift. But I was proven wrong when I took a Flip with disposable inserts to Disneyland and had no problems whatsoever. I would definitely recommend the Flip Hybrid system and covers.
Posted by Cindi on 19th Aug 2012
I bought these on the buy 2 get 1 sale! I wasn't sure about covers having only pockets and AIO's. However, they are fabulous for overnight. I can fit as much or as little as I need in them! I also like the vibrant colors they come in.
Posted by Alicia B. on 13th Aug 2012
I love my flips. I use them as cover with prefolds and a snappi, with a better fit prefold laid inside, or as a cover for my workhorse fitteds as well. I love that you can ditch the diaper or insert, wipe clean and reuse. Helps cuts down on laundry!
Posted by Jennifer Tai on 24th May 2012
I love the flip cover but I prefer to use it with an unbleached Indian p refold and a fleece liner than to use microfiber. I just personally don't love microfiber.
Posted by Tina on 13th Jul 2011
I've only tried one other hybrid diaper, and by far I like Flips better. I like the flaps that the insert tucks into, and I also like the insert- over the prefold that had to be used with the other brand. It's much less bulky, and easier to handle while trying to get it on baby. I love that you just drop the used insert into a pail, then pop in a new one and put it back on baby.

2013 vintage quite good indeed
I believe this product has received some unfairly harsh reviews. Sulphites can be naturally present in beverages, and organic does not necessarily mean sulphite free. The 2013 vintage now available has a very refreshing and awarding flavour. A very nice cider.

organic with sulphites?
First I did not like it too much, then I discovered it contains sulphites. I bought it because organic alcohols do not contain sulphites -well I thought- and I can drink them without a big headache afterwards. I am ready to pay more for that but if now organic drinks can contain sulphites I am lost. Next time I buy organic wine or cider I shall read the list of ingredients. P. S. To be fair, I just had a look at the organic wines and ciders and I am horrified that majority of them contain sulphites. I shall buy wine only to cook now or be very, very careful.

Tasted of rat, drowned in washing up water
according to the person I was sharing the bottle with. It really was nasty. We had a sip each, then had to leave it. I have to assume that we just had a bad batch. It tasted more like something they'd clean the barrels or whatever out with than anything to do with apples.

Taste is nothing special, but should a truly organic product contain an unspecified amount of sulphites ??. It is entirely possible to produce superb cider without this potentially noxious additive.
25 March 2010
Buy this cider!
Organic, so good for the conscience and doesn't give you a headache (unless you overindulge!). Not too fizzy, has a fabulous flavour & is now the essential accompaniment to our roast pork or pork chops. Gorgeous!

Colleges Lock Digital Books and Images Away From Scholars
June 1, 2011 | 9:13 am
By Steven Lyle Jordan
The Chronicle for Higher Education reports on a major casualty to the copyright and orphan works confusion: Academia. Colleges with incredible treasure-troves of digital material, mostly photographs and recordings, but books as well, are afraid of making those materials available to scholars.
Wide online access is curtailed, in part because they contain "orphan works," whose copyright owners can't be found. And the institutions that hold the collections—a consortium of major research libraries and the University of California campuses at San Diego and Los Angeles—must deal with legal uncertainty in deciding how to share the works. A university that goes too far could end up facing a copyright-infringement lawsuit.
The "could" in the quote above isn't just imagination; as the article indicates, UCLA, which presently hosts a library of 8.7 million digital volumes, a trove of 100,000 ocean-science photos and an archive of 57,000 Mexican-music recordings, is involved in a copyright-infringement lawsuit over its use of streaming-video technology.
The problem:
In 1978, the United States changed the law to make copyright automatic as soon as a work was fixed in tangible form. Protection was also extended to works that had not been publicly distributed, like diaries, pictures, and private papers. And the requirement to file for renewal was essentially eliminated. In 1989, to satisfy an international treaty, the U.S. nixed the notice requirement.
Bottom line: Lots of works that don't have any marking on them are very likely under copyright, but we can't say for sure, since there's nowhere to go to look.
But as expensive copyright violation suits can still be brought against these works, it means any institution in the same situation can be exposed to budget-busting lawsuits at any time.
The article goes on to describe legislation being proposed at the Federal level to ascribe new guidelines to digital document availability and sharing, and the University of Michigan's new project to identify orphan works in the HathiTrust collection.
This is a terrible situation. A commonsense approach would be to make the material available, and withdraw on complaint. But of course University lawyers will have none of that, and so the material remains inaccessible.
It also irks me to find material that is clearly in the public domain — scanned books from the 19th century — being made available only to subscribers (in the case of Hathi) or in snippet view (Google books). Obviously, whoever made the effort to scan has a right to control access if they wish, but to my mind this is outside the spirit of academia, which should foster the free dissemination of information and knowledge.
The headline is misleading. Many of these collections *are* open and available to scholars. They're just not scanned and published online.
The article is thinly-disguised propaganda emanating from Google and other infringement-based sleazos. Google has been trying for years to cripple copyright and leave itself free to steal without worry of bothersome lawsuits. A main thrust of Google's propaganda is to constantly plant articles about the supposed problem of "Orphan Works." Google's definition of Orphan Works, in frank terms, is "stuff Google wants to steal."
Google has been pushing the falsely-named Orphan Works bill at the federal level for years. Google's effort is opposed by creators; including photographers, artists, writers, publishers. It is backed by infringement-based operations such as Google and several other "steal everything" search engines and aggregators.

What's so good?
By Sean O | Feb 15, 2013 | Total plays: 24,985
"Cars" hinted at what I expected would be a heavy dose of Tycho-like vibes sprinkled throughout Soft Treasure. Well, I was partially right. Certain cuts, like "treasuresoft," fit that bill nicely. Other instrumentals, like the chilly "Table Bet," have a distinct hip-hop flavor that cannot be so easily boxed in, and have me interested in how Titanics might evolve in the months to come.
Featured track "Two Days" draws on crisp drums, warm synths, and big guitar riffs to great effect. Mark Lombardo's vocals pair nicely with Derek Rogers' guitar work. "Two Days" makes for a great closing track to Soft Treasure, which is one of the more dynamic releases I've heard this year.
Titanics and Soft Treasure are waiting for you in Bandcamp land. Pro-tip: use the code wildcreatures at checkout to get 30% off the album.

Three Questions
With the help of my 81 year young dad and the blessing of my beautiful wife, I have decided to extend my patio and build my first of many pizza ovens. I say many because if any of my friends like my creation; I promise to help and educate them in building there own pizza ovens.
We have finished the Oven Stand part of the oven using concrete bocks and rebar, dimensions are 4 x 4.
The Oven Stand consists of the following:
1. Concrete slab of ready mix concrete with ½ inch rebar frame for support placed on a supported sheet of cement board, approximately 3.5.
2. One coat of Perlite mixed with Portland cement approximately 1 .
3. One layer of fire bricks approximately 3.5
4. One coat of Perlite mixed with Calucm Lumnite ® Cacium Aluminate Cement approximately 1
We are ready to set the cooking flooring.
Three questions:
1. When using fire brick as the ovens cooking floor, can we use a thin layer of: Calucm Lumnite ® Cacium Aluminate Cement for the under layer of the cooking floor?
2. When we constructed the Oven Stand. Was step 4 a mistake?
3. Could "Step 4" affect the overall performance of my pizza oven?
Re: Three Questions
Step 3 was a waste of fire brick, but other than that, no issues.
Re: Three Questions
How big of an oven are you planning? A 4' X 4' base is a tad on the small size, depending on how you plan to construct, insulate, and finish the walls of your oven.
I might suggest your oven would perform better with more insulation directly under the cooking floor. The perlite / cement combination is not as efficient as the insulation boards, and with your configuration it looks like there is only 1 inch of insulation. (I think the layer of fire brick will do more to pull heat away from your cooking floor than add to the function of the oven).
My opinion is the oven will perform better if you replaced the existing layer of fire brick with perlite / cement insulation... and then install the cooking floor on that larger insulation layer.
Just an opinion!
Keep up the good work. Either way you will end up with an oven, that will be great fun to use and entertain visitors!
Re: Three Questions
Thank you, Tscarborough & Jed for your great feedback. The Plan I am using are: Pompeii Oven™ Plans Version 2.0 with a 42" Interior.
At your service,
Re: Three Questions
You only mention a 1" layer of perlite insulation.....not nearly enough. The minimum recommended is 4" of perlite or vermiculite. Better yet, use the 2" FB board (or similar rigid refractory insulation boards).
I would also agree that your plan already has 4 1/2" of mass, without your hearth bricks; that is a HUGE heatsink. Even with good insulation (which you currently don't have), you are looking at a tremendous amount of wood consumption, long heat ups, and a tough time getting to and sustaining pizza temps. That first layer of firebricks is totally unnecessary - replace it with insulation.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Re: Three Questions
RT, thanks for the advice. I will revisit the stand and remove the bricks.
Re: Three Questions
Yes, a 42 inch oven will overhang a 48 inch base before you do any insulation or exterior structure. Read the plans again, and follow the insulation instructions exactly. Skimping on insulation either below or around your oven will result in an oven that won't cook well and will waste fuel in the process.
Re: Three Questions
I can only echo the comments of others, personally I cannot emphasize how cheating on insulation is false economy. Yes you get done faster, yes you save a little bit of money but it takes longer to heat up, holds heat for less time and consumes more firewood. Just not worth it. I spent the extra money, bought 3 boxes of the insulation blanket from FB ended up doing four layers of insulation on the dome and regret nothing. The stucco outside has never exceeded outside air temperature even when the inside is off the scale of my IR thermometer.
Re: Three Questions
Thanks, DimTex. Today I will start to remove step 3. I will insulate according to Plans. I will post pictures.
I am glad to hear all of this feedback from people that have created Pizza Ovens in the past.

Plymouth Grand Voyager Problem Report
Plymouth Grand Voyager Airbag Light Due to Failed Clockspring
(11 reports)
Illuminated of the airbag warning light may be caused by a lost connection between the clockspring (behind the steering wheel) and the steering wheel-mounted electrical components. Other steering wheel-mounted controls like the horn, speed (cruise) control, or radio controls (if equipped) may be inoperative. There is a lifetime warranty on the clockspring as specified in a combination of recall campaigns. For more information on these recalls please us the following links; 1996-1998 models, please click here». For 1998-2000 models, please click here»
installed new clock spring but it happened again - Jeffery1962
I bought the car used (as is) in March, 2011 with approx. 108,000 miles on it from a used car dealership. At the time of purchase the airbag light was lit, the cruise control didn't function, nor the horn worked. The air vents were also stuck in a defrost position. I asked then for the problem with the airbag light and the vents to be fixed. The used car business was unable to fix the airbag light as the mechanic thought it was an electrical problem he could not trace but assured me the airbags worked fine. He did unstick the vents and I was ok with it until my husband, who doesn't drive my car often, used the setting for defrost/body. Now my vents are stuck again. I had no idea there was a recall until now while looking for a schematic to see the layout of the air vents. I haven't gotten a car fax or anything so I don't know if this car has had any repairs for this in the past. Since purchasing the car, I have talked about fixing the problem but have lived with it due to my work schedule and lack of money. Will this spring make the airbags malfunction is my biggest worry now. I was a dumb bunny for listening to the mechanic!! Anyway, thank you for the info. This is my first Chrysler. It has been and still is an excellent used vehicle for its age and current mileage of 180,000. I would definitely look for another used one or consider a new one if the price is affordable for me! - Visitor
Air Bag Light on, no Cruise Control, no Horn. - Visitor
clockspring failed on 1998 Grand Voyager Expresso (Air Bag light on, horn didn't work). I wasn't aware of recall and had my local garage make repair. I later contacted Chrysler, who refused to cover this, stating that the issue was my turn signal switch (which the mechanic stated was brittle and broke during the clockspring replacement, not teh other way around). This nonsense is why why I no longer by Chryslers. - Visitor
Airbag light is on and cruise control and horn no longer work. - Visitor
air bag light is always on, the cruise control doesn't work or the horn... not fixed yet any ideas? - sdrholland

Sorry for my absence
I haven't had the energy to scrap for quite a while, my job is taking up all my energy, I have been feeling dead tired, listless and depressed for quite a while now.
It got so bad I reported sick and asked my GP for an overall blood test.
Well, the results are in. They are better than I expected, no anaemia, no pfeiffer, no diabetes, cholesterol is fine, too, liver function slightly worse than normal, but better than it was in the past (I have different medication, now, which isn't as much of a strain on my liver).
But the one thing they did find covers all my symptoms, which include:
bleeding gums, muscle spasms and cramps, aching muscies and joints, impaired sleep, fatigue, depression, palpitations, and impaired healing of injuries....
The cause?????
My Vitamin D levels are way too low, and probably have been for years, especially in winter. I have been suffering from winter depression and winter fatigue for many years, though not nearly as badly as this winter.
Not that summer sunshine solves it all, I have a very fair skin, so I cannot stay out in the sun for too long, anyway.
So I am going to have to take vitamin tablets with adequate amounts of D on a regular basis.

Too Much Sugar
We had time yesterday morning to head to downtown Savannah before our late afternoon flight. We attempted to eat lunch at Paula Deans restaurant, The Lady and Son's, but it was too long a wait. Our walk through the city lead us into three candy stores, each one offering samples of their goods. Being willing customers, we took our share of these samples. After a while the sugar rush kicks in and scenes such as above happen. Here is Eugene and Ali all sugared up.
Along City Market I ran into Marilyn so Eugene took a photo with her showing me a little leg.

I spent some time just watching and talking with this gentleman while he made his Savannah Rose. They are made from banana or palm leaves and can range in a variety of green and yellow shades. Along River Street in Savannah you will encounter many of these craftsmen, working with their hands to create art. I admire individuals who work and create with their hands. We live in a culture when most of what we purchase is machine manufactured. When I think about it our clothing, shoes, watch, sunglasses, etc., are all manufactured by machinery. What was the last thing you purchase that was handmade?

Hidden Bench
While walking in a park in Savannah I was drawn to a vine entwined metal archway. I was not satisfied with any of my images. Something was missing. As I started to leave I noticed the bench in the background. My mind then envisioned the scene you see above. I shortened my DOF and moved in closer to the archway, eliminating it. I like this image as it is no longer a snapshot but pulls the two subjects together and removes the busy street scene in the background. Please let me know what this scene says to you.

Ice Cream on Sunday
Shelley and I spent aobut 4 hours along the River Walk in Savannah, GA. yesterday afternoon. Octoberfest was the happening thing with booths, music and lots of food. We found these young ladies working on some ice cream and asked if I could take a photo. The young lady on the left was so involved, she did not answer me. She just kept on eating. Can't blame her.

The multi-billion tender for the construction of the Neckartal Dam in the South, dragging now into its second year, will hopefully be finalised before the end of this financial year.
The closing date for the three shortlisted companies that have to send in their final bid is January 22.
The three shortlisted bidders are Salini SPA from Italy and two joint ventures - one by Vinci Construction, Grant Projects (France) and Orascon (Egypt), and another by Steanutti Stocks (South Africa), Consolidated Contractor Group SAL (Lebanon) and CMC de Ravenna.
"The Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry will upon the closing of the tender evaluate the bids and then make a recommendation to the Tender Board. I hope that it will be finalised before or at the end of February," Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Ericah Shafudah, told The Namibian.
During the first round of the tender, corruption allegations were levelled against some permanent secretaries who form part of the Tender Board. They were accused of receiving kickbacks for pushing for the tender to be allocated either to the Chinese company China Henan International Corporation or the Italian company Impregilo SPA.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), which investigated the claims, recently received back its docket from the Prosecutor General, requesting more information on some of the issues.
"We have obtained the relevant information and will still this month send the docket back to the Office of the Prosecutor General to make a decision whether to prosecute or not," ACC Director, Paulus Noa, said. In the meantime the Tender Board awarded 596 tenders to the tune of N$1,67 billion during 2012 of which the bulk was for construction tenders. Only 16 tenders were rejected.
A large number of exemptions to the tune of N$8,9 billion were also allocated, but according to Shafudah these include travelling allowances, subscription fees, utilities, transfers to SOE's and a few urgent projects that cropped up.
"We have decided that Ministries, Agencies and Offices have to submit three quotations with recommendations with regard to exemptions to the Tender Board where a decision will be taken. This process will still be faster than the normal tender procedures."
Some of the achievements reached by the Tender Board are the reviewing of the Tender Board Act as well as the reviewing of the changes to tender conditions with emphasis on the shareholding structure (51% : 49%) to promote local procurement and enterprise development.

No. 1 seed scores first seven goals en route to 14-5 win over UMass Dart
MANSFIELD, Conn. -- The top-seeded Eastern Connecticut State University men's lacrosse team scored the first seven goals of the match, then traded goals with No. 4 seeded University of Massachusetts Dartmouth the rest of the way in 14-5 victory in the semifinals of the 2012 Little East Conference playoffs Thursday night at the Mansfield Outdoor Complex.
At left: Tyler Fresen
With its sixth straight win, Eastern (11-5) moves into the championship game for the 11th time in 12 seasons and will host No. 2 seed Keene State College (14-3) Saturday at the Mansfield Outdoor Complext at 1 p.m.
Two-time defending playoff champion Keene eliminated No. 6 seed Plymouth State University, 21-0, Thursday afternoon at Keene, NH. Eastern and Keene are meeting in the final for the fourth straight year, Eastern winning in 2009.
Senior attack Michael Sullinger (Brookfield) led Eastern with four goals and four assists, giving him 41 goals and 30 assists for a team-best 71 points this year. Senior attack Jeremy Cogliano (Bedford, MA) added three goals and two assists as the Warriors compiled a +16 advantage in shots. Senior goalie Jamie Tommins (Fairfield) gained the win in net by stopping eight shots over the first 52 minutes.
Junior faceoff specialist Josh Dubinsky (Woodstock) won 16 of 21 faceoffs against three UMass Dartmouth opponents and picked up ten ground balls.. Sophomore faceoff specialist Dan Bell of UMass Dartmouth was helped off the field with his team trailing 5-0 six minutes into action with a left leg injury. He did not return.
In its 7-0 scoring spree over the first eight minutes, Sullinger had two goals and two assists, sophomore midfielder Mike Devine (Cheshire) two goals and sophomore midfielder Tyler Fresen (Newington) a goal and two assists. The Warriors capitalized by scoring on three of five extra-man tries and by commiting only two penalties, allowed the Corsairs just two man-up situations (both failed).
Senior defenseman Tommy Flynn (Mineola, NY) led Eastern with six ground balls, sophomore defenseman Chris Brown (Cohasset, MA) and junior long stick Jordan Munsell (Waterford) picking up four.

What devices are plugged into the slots? Have you removed all
nonessential cards? What is the boot device sequence in the BIOS? Have
you checked the hard disk and floppy cables to be sure they are connected
well? Can you be more precise about the message on the screen when (or
just before) it freezes?

We value everything you do here, but please be a bit more judicial about replying to terrible posts. When they just can't comprehend patch notes such as this it doesn't help to feed them. Thanks.
First of all, this thread is my 'go to' for theory and practical application, and I thank you for the cogent and comprehensive information. Having said that, I'd like to note that as of 4.1 happiness is no longer a pet attribute. With that change, the Mend Pet glyph has transmogrified to Glyph of Lesser Proportion which merely makes your pet smaller. This seemingly insignificant alteration has a bit of a ripple effect, requiring the carrying of pet appropriate food once again, rather than spamming an occasional 'mend pet'.
I've substituted Glyph of Aspect of the Pack for the transmogrified Mend Pet=Lesser Proportions. It has been quite handy in the new heroics.
I made the same glyph change.
However, you should not be required to carry pet appropriate food. All that food does is heal your pet out of combat. You can do that just as easily with Mend Pet. The food is just useful when you want a quick pet heal during brief combat breaks and do not want to have to rely on the healer to use mana to do it.

This is is the easy part of the answer. IBM provides investment
guarantees to you when you buy your system, they don't break old code.
They will re-encapsulate it, run it in a less efficient way, run it in
an emulator of sorts, but they will not intentionally break it. Clearly
they don't quite make 100% but it's damned close to it.
A second reason is investment money. IBM spends a good deal of money to
build the systems but in the end they are a business, and the investment
money in new feature/function has to make a return. The requirements
are driven by the Large Users Group (LUG) and the COMMON Americas'
Advisory Council (CAAC).
A third component is hardware. Many functions have to wait for
processor support in order to be implemented in an efficient way. That
continues to be true today and why you see the Technology Refreshes. As
hardware steps up to support things, then feature/function is added via
the TRs. All very cool when you think of it.

A SINGLE electron bouncing between two electrical traps has shown for the first time how information could be transferred between different parts of a quantum circuit. This game of quantum tennis marks an important step towards practical quantum computers.
"We're basically playing ping-pong with a single electron," says Crispin Barnes at the University of Cambridge. "We can capture single electrons and move them backwards and forwards wherever we like."
Quantum computers can perform hugely powerful calculations by manipulating information in the form of quantum bits, or qubits, which can be both a 0 and a 1 at the same time.
Qubits are fragile, however, and the act of measurement destroys them. So to protect quantum calculations, researchers need a way to transfer qubits from the area where the number crunching happens to a separate spot where they can be measured in isolation.
In a proof of concept experiment, Barnes and his colleagues have done just that. The team created two electron traps called quantum dots on a slab of gallium arsenide. They then used microwave pulsesto send a single electron back and forth between the dots. This shuttled the electron 60 times over a total distance of 0.25 millimetres (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature10444).
This represents a real milestone, Barnes says. "The more bounces we get, the more amazing our quantum computer can be."

Warm Brown Rice and Chickpea Salad with Cherries and Goat Cheese
This Warm Brown Rice and Chickpea Salad with Cherries and Goat Cheese may sound a bit unusual, but it's fantastic. I really wanted to make it with Rainier cherries, but I don't think they're quite in season yet. You could make this with any kind of cherry, but I opted for dried cherries. I can't wait to make this again with fresh Rainiers! I made this salad twice, tweaking the recipe just a bit each time. Just small changes made it a different salad, but I loved both versions. Using a precooked pouch of brown rice makes this a cinch to get on the table. Perfect for when you're busy and don't want to fire up the stove, but want something homemade.
So, how's it taste?
The first time I made this, I skipped the precooked brown rice in a pouch and made my own. I somehow ended up with tons of bags of brown rice in my pantry and wanted to use it up. Brown rice takes what feels like forever to cook! So it wasn't as quick of a meal to put together, though it did give me time to prep the other ingredients. It turned out really well except that I didn't let my rice cool enough and the goat cheese melted. It made my dish look a pale white color, which wasn't pretty, but I didn't care because it tasted amazing. I loved the different textures and flavors. Sweet from the dried cherries, tangy from the vinegar and goat cheese. Fantastic! Another tweak I made was to reduce the amount of olive oil to one tablespoon. Three just seemed like way too much to me and I was right. That also cut out a fair amount of calories, which makes me happy!
The second time I made this, I used the pouch. I couldn't find brown rice, so I grabbed brown rice and quinoa. I didn't notice until I got home that it was garlic flavored. I forged on and it turned out pretty well. The garlic was a bit much, but not bad. I also skipped the step of soaking and chopping the dried cherries and just threw them in. Cranberries would work here, too. I left out the oil completely in this batch. It tasted great, but the tang of the vinegar was amped up. I liked it, but you may want to add the oil in last, a little at a time to see how much you'd prefer. The next day it was a bit dry without any oil. The leftovers are outstanding otherwise. Can't wait to make it with fresh cherries!
Blog Update
I reorganized So, How's It Taste a bit recently. The old So, How's It Going and So, How's It Look sections weren't working out the way I'd hoped, so those categories (and tabs at the top of site) are gone. Instead you'll find a new sections in my main navigation. Here's where I'll be posting on non food-related topics like fitness, DIY, Stitch Fix reviews, my cute dog Sydney, and Life in general. I'll be adding more sections later such as blogging tips, photography, and travel. I hope this makes it easier for you to navigate around the blog.
In the process of reorganizing, I accidentally deleted the groups for my emails. Argh! So everyone was placed in the "send only food posts" category. If you'd like to receive emails when a new post is published from any category, simply return to the signup form and enter the email address you used to sign up. You'll get instructions for updating your email preference. Select the option "Send me all posts! (includes non food-related posts)" and you'll be set!

I'm so excited for cherry season! I love using them to add a little sweetness to an otherwise savory salad
I love the combination of flavors in the dish! Chick peas are one of my favorite ingredients to add to salads, and this sounds like it would go perfectly with cherries!
Ooh, this looks delicious! Reminds me of a favorite Jeni's ice cream, but much less fattening.
Looks delicious and pretty! How would this be cold?
This salad sounds delicious! I'm loving the pairing of goat cheese and cherries! This would be such a great salad to bring to a picnic. Yummy!
Love this combination, dried cherries have so much flavor. Great salad!
Oh yum!! I bought a package of goat cheese on a whim but couldn't decide what to do with it. This looks amazing! I love that you added cherries, I think they are an under used ingredient in salads!
Oh man. Wish I had those roadside cherries we picked up in Oregon the other week on our vacation. Those Raniers would be PERFECT in this salad! Love it. And of course, chickpeas. Saving to make for lunch, and SOON!
I love chickpeas! And the fresh basil and goat cheese makes this a really good summer side dish. Looks so yummy!
This salad sounds super tasty. I love the combination of goat cheese and dried cherries. It is a really great combo for summer!
Oh yum!! So healthy, fresh and delicious!! Talk about a great meal!!
This looks so lovely cherries and chickpeas are fav. in my home.
Yum! This does sound like a fantastic salad! Some of my favorite salads have a bunch of random ingredients throw together, but they end up being so good! I love all the ingredients and I bet they taste amazing together! Goat cheese and cherries sound like they would be so good together. I really need to make this soon
What a beautiful summer salad – I am loving the goat cheese and cherry combo… actually I am digging all the ingredients you used to make this fab salad :). I bet it tastes even better than it looks!
This is my kind of summer salad. Light, fresh and packed with an of colors and flavors.
This healthy dish sounds so tasty!! Yum!

Anthony Wood is a doctoral candidate in computer science. His decision to attend graduate school at the University of Virginia was influenced by the institution and its faculty. "U.Va. has a great reputation for education in general, and the particular research group I wanted to join is well-respected and productive," he says.
Wood's research focus is on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are tiny, autonomous devices that are networked in order to be able to communicate with one another. They can be used to sense changes in characteristics such as temperature, sound, and vibration. "The possibilities for future research and application are enormous," says Wood. Some of the practical applications for WSNs include habitat monitoring, military surveillance, and traffic control.
Wood's research has largely focused on perfecting WSNs for the AlarmNet project—an innovative healthcare monitoring network for aging adults. AlarmNet offers a practical solution to the challenges to healthcare presented by millions of aging baby boomers, especially since people today are living longer. The system can remotely monitor important vital functions, providing critical information to caregivers and healthcare professionals. Such a system will give people the opportunity to safely age in place—maintaining the comfort of their home environment, or the independence offered by assisted living facilities.

Midlakestars, from 2 Fan reports
Whitley Bay - Whitley Bay Opera House
great band from Al, 14/07/14Midlake seem top be in transition which occasionally leads them to shift, in my view, too far from their unique voice into something that comes over as self indulgent improvisation. When focussed on Midlake songs including excellent new stuff from Antiphon, they were excellent. The venue is not great however, (or was it Midlakes team?) sound balance was not always right. Sometimes too loud, dominated by bass drum. At least not as bad as the support: Goldlake who were so loud we had to leave and drink beer to recover.
BRILLIANT EVENING from BILL-R, 14/07/14Faultless Performance/ Great Interaction with crowd/Group went to meet fans after Performance and spoke/signed autographs and posed for photographs with everyone. Nothing was too much bother for this Group, I wish more Groups could follow this example, There were 5 people in our group and each individual quoted different songs/group members as there favourites - this is an example of a top Groups performance. Hurry Back!
