Feds to rehear Webcaster fee dispute
March 20, 2007
The "Internet Radio Equality Act," introduced by Reps. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) and Don Manzullo (R-Ill.), would invalidate a March 2 decision by the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board that calls for raising royalty rates paid by Net radio operators.
"You can't put an economic chokehold on this emerging force of democracy," Inslee said in a statement e-mailed by a spokeswoman. "There has to be a business model that allows creative Webcasters to thrive and the existing rule removes all the oxygen from this space."
The bill's introduction comes less than two weeks after the CRB declined to reconsider most of its decision. Small Webcasters, National Public Radio, Clear Channel Communications and others had filed petitions for a rehearing. Some have indicated they are considering filing an appeal of the rules in court.
If it were to stand, the CRB's existing ruling (PDF) would result in fee increases on Internet radio operators ranging from 300 to 1,200 percent between 2006 and 2012, according to a group called SaveNetRadio, which has been lobbying Congress for relief.
Specifically, the rules call for rate increases of .08 cents per song per listener retroactive to 2006. They would also climb to .19 cents per song by 2010, which amounts to a 30 percent increase per year. Each station would also have to hand over a minimum $500 royalty payment under the ruling.
The congressmen said they had already received more than 1,000 e-mails and letters opposing the decision.
In addition to repealing that regime, the new House bill offers a compromise: It would set the rate at 7.5 percent of the Webcaster's revenue "directly related to" its transmission of sound recordings, or 33 cents per hour of sound recordings transmitted to a single listener. It would be up to the Webcaster to decide which model to use. That rate would also apply to satellite and cable radio operators, Inslee's office said in a statement.
The proposal drew applause from SaveNetRadio, whose members include Internet radio listeners, Webcasters and artists.
"This bill is a critical step to preserve this vibrant and growing medium, and to develop a truly level playing field where Webcasters can compete with satellite radio," said organization spokesman Jake Ward.
The bill also calls for public radio broadcasters to submit a report to Congress on how to determine rates for their class of services. Andi Sporkin, NPR's vice president of communications, called that idea a fair solution that is consistent with more than 30 years of copyright law, which "has recognized that public radio has a very different mission from commercial media and cannot pay commercial-level royalty rates."
Representatives for SoundExchange, the nonprofit entity that collects the fees and lobbied for the royalty rate changes, said they were still reviewing the bill and had no comment on Thursday.
The organization in the past has defended the CRB's decision as an appropriate way of ensuring artists are adequately compensated when their work is broadcast over the Internet.

- Finally! Some sanity!
- Three cheers for the Reps who finally came through for the small webcasters!
So many congressmen and women stood idly by while the record labels attempted to squeeze every penny they could from independent webcasters or simply put them out of business. After all, if you can't transform yourselves as the world changes, simply eliminate the competition. Remember, these are the same record labels who sue grandmothers and young children for thousands of dollars.
Please throw your support behind this desperately needed legislature and save Internet radio! Call or write your local senator and representative and tell them to vote YES on this bill. You can find your representative and senators here http://www.savenetradio.org !

- Senator Feinstein's Form-letter Response (CA-D)
- I thought you might be interested in reading the response I got back when I wrote my senator.
From: <email@example.com>
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 12:57:59 -0400
Subject: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein responding to your message
Thank you for writing to me with your concerns about the Copyright Royalty Board's recent decision on the statutory rate for music webcasting. I understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Under the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004, Congress - at the behest of webcasters - created the Copyright Royalty Board which consists of three judges. By law, the judges are a venue of last resort and are required to periodically set rates for various statutory copyright licenses in the event that webcasters and copyright owners are unable to reach voluntary agreements. In the absence of an agreement, the judges set a rate designed to approximate the fair-market value that webcasters should pay to artists and performers for streaming their music for the years 2006-2010. The new rate that was established is less than a 5 percent increase of the rate in effect from 1998-2005.
Although a few webcasters have recently claimed that the process was unfair, it was not arbitrary and allowed representatives from all sides to make their cases. The judges began the proceedings in 2005, and heard testimony from dozens of witnesses and conducted a comprehensive review of tens of thousands of pages of evidence submitted by all interested parties over an 18-month period.
While some webcasters may choose to pay this rate, independent negotiations between the parties are still possible and this new statutory rate would serve as the ceiling. Additionally, if it appears that the new rate will reduce the overall amount of webcasting - as well as the overall income from this stream of revenue - the copyright owners may still have an incentive to offer webcasters a rate less than the statutory rate.
I am a strong believer in intellectual property rights and believe that artists and performers have earned the right to be fairly compensated for the broadcast of their works by webcasters who benefit - financially and otherwise - from their talents. Without fair compensation, these artists would not create their works.
Once again, thank you for writing. Should legislation addressing this new rate or the rate-setting process come before the Senate, I will be sure to keep your concerns in mind. In the meantime, if you should have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, DC staff at (202) 224-3841.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein United States Senator

did. Not too hard to tell where some of Feinstein's financial support
comes from, eh?

- "I am a strong believer in intellectual property rights and believe that artists and performers have earned the right to be fairly compensated for the broadcast of their works by webcasters who benefit - financially and otherwise - from their talents.

The best part is these fees are paid to the labels, NOT the artists. We all know how the labels pay less per digital download, I suspec they pay less for this kind of thing too.
And of course we all know what a great track record the labels have on fairly distributing the contractually due royalties on sales... criminal non-compliance.
So if she really cared, how about some legislation that FORCES better payment to the artists, not the labels.
She's lying, and she's full of brown waste.

- does regular radio pay royalties?If not why does internet radio have to.If they dont allow downlaods,would that make a difference.Because the station Iam familiar with is free <pandora> so if they dont profit ,what are the royalties for.After all without the downloading issue the internet stations may be prompting purchases of said songs,meaning to me the internet radio maybe helping the artists make money.Inparticular the less promoted artists.????????????

- Bill should make sure artists are rewarded.
- The bill should contain a clause, determining that recording industry entities such as the RIAA and MPAA report and publish monthly how much it collected and how much is paid to artists, with heavy penalties against board members for falsifying numbers.

HAVRE de GRACE — Harford County Executive David R. Craig describes himself as a moderate by temperament, but he is staking out positions that seem certain to appeal to the Republican party's hard-core conservative base as he seeks the 2014 nomination for governor.
In recent weeks, Craig has articulated policy stands that put him well to the conservative side of Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. in his 2002 race for governor — the only gubernatorial election the Maryland GOP has won in four decades. On the environment, social services and other issues, Craig has virtually dared his Republican rivals — Anne Arundel County Del. Ron George and Charles County business executive Charles Lollar — to try to outflank him on the right.
Among other things, Craig wants to scale back Maryland's role in the Chesapeake Bay cleanup, give the state's business department a greater voice in environmental and health regulations, and impose limits on how long low-income people can collect food stamps and other benefits — even if it means refusing federal money.
Craig, 64, insists his positions represent the experiences of a lifetime as an educator and public official — not a strategy for winning the June 24 primary in an increasingly conservative party. "It's not like we're trying to move to the right or left. It's being correct," he said.
Political observers say Craig appears to be positioning himself to compete in a primary in which staunch conservatives are the most reliable voters. The challenge facing Craig — or whoever wins the primary — will be to appeal to a much different electorate in the general election. In Maryland, Democrats have a more than 2-to-1 advantage in voter registration over Republicans.
Richard Vatz, a professor of rhetoric at Towson University and a Craig supporter, said the numbers pose a dilemma for Republican gubernatorial candidates.
"The fact is, you often have to take positions in primaries that are not going to be positions that win you a general election," Vatz said. "That's the reason why it's very difficult for even an attractive [Republican] candidate to win in Maryland."
John T. Willis, executive in residence at the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore, said making a post-primary pivot is more difficult now that recording devices are ubiquitous.
"Everything you say in the primary can be used against you for the general [election]. Everything is captured these days," Willis said. A candidate who tries to swing too far back to the center after a primary risks being labeled a flip-flopper, he added.
George said he's seen a rightward shift by Craig.
"I think he's been looking at the polls and he's taking different positions than what he has in the past," George said. The delegate said he has established a solid conservative record in his two terms in the legislature and sees no need to change his approach.
Lollar said he was not familiar with Craig's recent positions.
State GOP leaders have discussed allowing independents — roughly 17 percent of Maryland's 3.7 million voters — to cast ballots in the Republican primary, but that would require action at the party's convention next month. Such a proposal could face resistance from conservatives because it might favor candidates perceived as more moderate.
Craig has governed Harford since 2005, making him the longest-serving executive in the county's history. In 2010, he was re-elected with almost 80 percent of the vote.
The landslide victory came after Craig compiled a record of fiscal conservatism and tax-cutting combined with a genial, nonconfrontational style. "I'm considered a moderate because of my temperament," Craig said in an interview at his restored, circa-1839 home.
Michael Bennett, the Democratic mayor of Aberdeen, isn't backing Craig for governor but says it's been a pleasure to work with him as county executive.
"For the most part, I've seen that he's been a moderate — a kind of middle-of-the-road guy," said Bennett, who has been mayor for almost six years.
Such descriptions are not necessarily an asset in an increasingly conservative Republican Party.
Richard Cross, a former Ehrlich speechwriter turned blogger on Maryland Republican politics, said he has seen online attacks on Craig from the hard right labeling him a "RINO" — for Republican in Name Only, an epithet sometimes hurled at those who deviate from conservative orthodoxy.
Cross said that while the Harford executive has the image of a moderate, his positions on such issues as food stamps could reassure the conservative base.

Garowe — Political associations in Somalia's northern autonomous region of Puntland have jointly signed a Code of Conduct to manage the electoral process in Puntland, Garowe Online reports.
The Transitional Puntland Electoral Commission (TPEC) organized the event on Thursday at Puntland Development and Research Center (PDRC) in Garowe
TPEC Chairman Mohamed Hassan Barre opened the event by thanking all the representatives of the six political associations registered by TPEC.
PDRC Director Abdirahman Abdulle Shuke addressed the event, saying that Puntland is moving forward on the track of multiparty political system and democratic elections.
TPEC member Abdirizak Ahmed Shoole read the new Code of Conduct prepared by TPEC and the six political association's representatives discussed the Code before it was unanimously agreed and Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole was the first to sign, as caretaker chairman of Horseed political associations.
The Code of Conduct includes articles prohibiting the use of government resources to fund political associations, banning on supporters of different political associations to display or use weapons, and setting a Feb. 10 deadline for the six registered political associations to satisfy TPEC requirements for the second and final phase of registration.
Dr. Sadiq Enow, caretaker chairman of Midnimo political association, requested TPEC to exercise neutrality in the elections process.
On Sept. 11, 2012, the Transitional Puntland Electoral Commission (TPEC) declared for the first time since Puntland's inception in 1998 that political associations can be legally registered in Puntland.
On Dec. 31, 2012, TPEC officials announced that six political associations have qualified in Puntland, namely Horseed, Midnimo, Wadajir, Hor-Cad, Puntland Democratic Party (PDP), and Puntland People's Party (UDAD).
Other political associations are expected to also hold their first congress in Garowe, Bossaso and Galkayo in the coming days. Local elections are slated to be held across Puntland districts in May 2013.

Have you ever bought or sold something online, only to find that the person at the other end isn't the real deal?
National Consumer Fraud Week 2013 is all about helping you 'outsmart the scammer!' by learning how to buy and sell safely online without being duped.
Australians are increasingly going online to buy goods and services, taking advantage of the speed, convenience and greater choice that the internet can offer. Unfortunately scammers like shopping online for their victims too.
Online shopping scams target both buyers and sellers, with the two most common scams being:
Classified ad scams – a scammer posts a fake ad on a legitimate classifieds website for cheaply priced popular items. If a consumer shows interest in an item, the scammer will claim that the goods will be delivered following receipt of payment. If the consumer pays, they will not receive the goods or be able to contact the seller.
Overpayment scams – a scammer will respond to a seller's ad with a generous offer and will then 'accidentally' overpay. The scammer will ask the seller to refund the excess amount by money transfer in hope that the seller will transfer the money before they discover that the scammer's cheque has bounced or that the money order was phony. The seller will lose the money, as well as the item they were selling, if they have already sent it on to the scammer.
Stay one click ahead – follow the Top 5 tips to outsmart the scammers:
1. Think twice – if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
2. Find out what other shoppers say – make sure the person that you are dealing with, and their offer, is the real deal.
3. Protect your identity – your personal details are private and invaluable; keep them that way and away from scammers.
4. Keep your computer secure – Install software that protects your computer from viruses and unwanted programs and make sure it is kept up-to-date.
5. Only pay via secure payment methods – look for a web address starting with 'https' and a closed padlock symbol. Never use a wire transfer service to send money to anyone you do not know and trust, and do not share your financial details with anyone.
We teamed up with the Checkout during Fraud Week to raise awareness about the common types of scams and what you can do to protect yourself.

Obesity is present when body weight is 10% to 20% greater than normal for height or frame. Obesity is a common problem in the United States and accounts for significant other health problems including cardiovascular disease, insulin dependent diabetes, sleep disorders, infertility in women, aggravated musculoskeletal problems, and shortened life expectancy. Women are more likely to be overweight than men. African Americans and Hispanic individuals are more likely to be overweight than Caucasians. Factors that affect weight gain include genetics, sedentary lifestyle, emotional factors associated with dysfunctional eating, disease states such as diabetes mellitus and Cushing's syndrome, and cultural or ethnic influences on eating. Overall nutritional requirements of the elderly are similar to younger individuals, except calories should be reduced because of their leaner body mass.

In New York failure to obey a traffic signal, a stop sign, or a yield sign is worth 3 points on your driving record.
In New York points are counted from the date of your traffic violation, not from the dates of your traffic convictions. A traffic conviction is required for the points to appear on your driver record. 18 months after the date of the violation, the points for that violation are removed from your point total. Moving violation convictions normally remain on a NYS driver record during the year that the conviction occurred and for the following three (3) calendar years.
The NYS DMV states one should follow the instructions on the traffic ticket, or contact the traffic court or Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) listed on the ticket for information on how to take care of the citation. You must respond to the ticket to prevent a suspension of your driver license or driving privileges.
Thus for the actual fine amount you will need to contact the court or TVB office listed on your ticket. While the state may have a main fine amount schedule and surcharge amount, it is usually up to the jurisdiction which you were ticketed to determine the final fine amount.

A message from Randy Engstrom, newly appointed director of Office of Arts & Culture
Randy Engstrom
Seattle has long been a city of creativity. From airplanes to the Space Needle to left-handed guitar players, we are a center of innovation. I believe arts and culture are a catalyst for this civic vibrance. With my recent confirmation as director of the Office of Arts & Culture, I look forward to supporting the creative ecology of our city.
Working with our partners at the school district, the Seattle Arts Commission and the Seattle Music Commission, and the Office of Film and Music, we will ensure that
every student in Seattle Public Schools has access to an hour of music and and hour of visual art every week
. We know that
arts education
is both a critical investment in our economic and cultural vitality and an issue of equity in our schools, where many students do not have access.

Geller is drawn to overlooked or underutilized environments, from back alleys to sprawling open public spaces. In these settings he distills small fragments of narrative by augmenting or amplifying the character of a given place. Through his artworks, he invites viewers to engage a space and discover what was always there, as well as what might be. He is currently working on commissions for the Zoo Miami children's play area, the new Myrtle Avenue Plaza in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the new Municipal Courthouse in Austin, Tex.
Geller was selected by a panel of artists, arts professionals, Delridge community representatives and SPU staff. The artwork is commissioned with SPU 1% for Art funds.

Meredith Vieira to Return to ABC's GENERAL HOSPITAL, 12/14

In March 2003, multi-Emmy Award winner Meredith Vieira played Bree Flanders on ABC's hit drama "General Hospital." What was the profession of the character played by the host of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"?
WSB Spy
Talk show host
If you said "C, final answer" you are correct! Vieira played a high class madam, and on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, she once again steps into Bree Flanders' shoes when she returns to "General Hospital" (2:00-3:00 p.m., ET/1:00-2:00 p.m., PT/CT).
"I actually resurrected a character, Bree Flanders, that I played ten years ago. At that point she was a madam," said Vieira. "Now she's a Senior Vice President of a company, so she's definitely improved her lot in life. It strikes me every time I do anything with a soap opera – but just working with General Hospital -- so impressed with the actors, they're so good. They have to learn so much material on a day-to-day basis. You know, ten years ago I had a better memory than now, so I was a little intimidated, but it worked out great."
Bree Flanders has elevated her position from upscale madam, who once tempted Luke Spencer's girl friend to join her ranks, to Senior Vice President of Marketing for CoeCoe Cosmetics. Vieira's appearance also helps to usher in the return of fan favorite Lucy Coe, played by Lynn Herring, who also marks her return to "General Hospital" on Friday, December 14.
On April 1-2, 2013, as "General Hospital" celebrates its 50th Anniversary, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" host Meredith Vieira will welcome two of "General Hospital's" fan favorites, Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) and Jason Thompson (Dr. Patrick Drake) as "Millionaire" contestants playing for charity to benefit Art of Elysium. "Millionaire" airs weekdays. Check local listings or go to http://www.millionairetv.com/ for time and channel.
About "General Hospital":
"General Hospital," the most honored show of the 2012 Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, celebrates its golden anniversary on April 1, 2013. Approaching 50 historic years on ABC, "General Hospital" is the longest running American soap opera currently in production and the third longest-running drama in American television history. "General Hospital" was created by Frank and Doris Hursley. Frank Valentini is the executive producer. Ron Carlivati is the head writer.
About "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire":
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with host Meredith Vieira currently is in its 11th season. Vieira has hosted the daytime version of "Millionaire" since the show debuted in 2002. She is a multi-Emmy Award winner and has won two Daytime Emmys for her work on "Millionaire" (2005 and 2009). Throughout her ten seasons on the show, Vieira has hosted over 1,800 episodes and handed out more?

One moment I was tearing off your blouse
Now you're living in my house
from The 1975 – Girls Lyrics on Genius
He recollects what has happened over the brief events that have unfolded. This "girl" originally stated she wasn't a "typical" girl who sorted for commitment however as time goes by it seems commitment is playing a big factor here. At one point it was lust and no serious entanglements, now however they have become an item, something that was not intended and he asks what happened to the old days of fun and no consequences?

At townhall.com, R. Emmett Tyrrell thinks he has the prescription for a winning Obama campaign:
Obama introduced two themes, both closely related. He asseverated that the Clintons represent all the bitterness associated with "the baby boomers" in politics. That they do. In recent weeks, we have tasted that bitterness all over again. What is more, with great subtlety, Obama brought up "the 1990s." Hesto presto — the Clinton lead vanished among the Democrats, who supposedly adore the Clintons. As Democratic primary voters now have fresh evidence of the Clintons' dirty tricks and bitter charges, Obama should revert to these themes. He now finds himself on the defensive in the rancorous atmosphere that the Clintons apparently thrive in. Obama should return to the high ground where he already has hurt Hillary badly.
Things aren't that easy. If it was simply a matter of pointing to Bill and Hillary and saying, "Exhibits A and B," the two of them would have been booed off the stage a decade ago. Tyrrell ignores the fact that the Clinton sociopathy he calls "bitterness" is thought of by most Democratic voters as an insignificant imperfection, while the rest label it "charm." Has he forgotten that Bill Clinton's perjury and other acts of malfeaseance were considered a necessary defense against a phalanx of cruel conspirers? The more Obama calls attention to the 1990's, the more nostalgic Democratic voters will get. They view Slick Willie not with disgust but reverence.

The challenge is to beat a campaign level on Legendary difficulty in under 12 minutes not counting Lone Wolf. I was able to do this by getting to one of the last checkpoints before a level ends, then saving and quitiing, and quitting the game. I then started the game again, resumed my saved game, and quickly finished the level and the challenged popped. Using this strategy, it is an extremely easy 10000 credits.

Yesterday, Apple announced the release of FaceTime for Mac: a new Mac OS X application which allows users to participate in FaceTime calls between iPhones, iPod touches, and Macs. It's a great idea, and one we've been expecting for some time now.
Following this, Zach Holman decided to launch facelette: a service which offers to randomly pair FaceTime fans. I've just tried it out, and it works great.
All you have to do is head over to http://facelette.com, enter your FaceTime ID, and hit the "FaceTime me!" button on your Mac, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4G).
You'll be given a random stranger's FaceTime ID, which you click on to open up FaceTime for Mac. Once this has launched, simply hit the green FaceTime button and you're good to go!
With facelette, you can keep on moving through random FaceTime partners, much in the same way Chatroulette users are assaulted with a continuous stream of video chat partners. It's easy to see where Zach has gotten his inspiration. However, the great thing with facelette is that it works on iPhones and iPod touches, too!
So, if you're a FaceTime for Mac user, be sure to check out facelette now. I'll see you there! Thanks to MacStories for spotting this.

Matt Krupnick, my colleague who covers higher education for the Bay Area News Group, requested e-mail correspondence from the public accounts of Linda Handy, Marcie Hodge and William Riley, trustees for the Peralta Community College District who are running for re-election or, in Hodge's case, for mayor. He tells us what he found.
A stack of e-mails I obtained from the Peralta Community College District gives an interesting look into the inner world of trustees — and some shed light on why they never return my calls.
The e-mails, obtained through the California Public Records Act, were sent to and from the public accounts of trustees Linda Handy, Marcie Hodge and William Riley, all of whom are running for re-election or for another public office in November. Most of the messages provided nothing but tedium, but others contained some surprising reactions to what I thought were standard requests for information.
"You've got to be kidding!" Handy responded in one message when told of my request for the e-mails. "How racist is that?"
All three of the trustees, who all happen to be African-American, are running for public office — Handy and Riley for re-election and Hodge for Oakland mayor — and none of the three has been willing to answer questions about their performance on the Peralta board. Looking through their e-mail is one of the few ways for a reporter to tell the public about these officials.
The messages show surprising reactions from other trustees as well. Continue Reading

About Zeiko Duka
The soul of London based, Georgian-Greek born talented artist Zeiko Duka, architect, artist, and fashion designer, cries out to her audience through her magnificent, musical compositions of lyrical color. Like the Surrealists or early Cubists, the artist uses color to communicate meaning. Her masterful manipulation of light and dark and the fluidity of forms seem like a pictorial portrayal of an opus by Stravinsky. She depicts her dreams and imagination in a symphony of blues and browns, purples and pastels that burst out of the canvas with the emotional force of the spring. With all the drama of an early 20th century opera, Zeiko Duka reduces forms down to their basic core. She depicts semi-figurative human shapes in sensuous, flesh-toned circles of sienna and umber. Her imagery is as mysterious and ephemeral as a dream. She blends dimensional planes in dramatic, sweeping movements, avoiding mundane detail and giving the neoclassical works a surreal quality. As the plot unfolds, the veneer is stripped away and the fundamental, basic truth is revealed to the viewer in a crescendo of free - flowing abstract color. She started her participation in solo and group exhibitions since she was stud ent. The exhibitions were in several places: Tbilisi, Kutaisi (Georgia), Moscow, St. Petersburg (Russia), Kiev, Odessa (Ukraine), Prague (Czech Republic), Berlin (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Athens (Greece), Zurich (Switzerland), Paris (France), Oslo (Norway), New York, (USA). Also her works are in different private collections in different countries: USA, United Kingdom, Greece, Georgia, Russia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico. http://artisandirectltd.net/artists/duka_zeiko/ http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/zeiko-duka.html http://www.saatchionline.com/clidimarita https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zeiko-Duka/351689134864290# http://artisandirectltd.net/artists/duka_zeiko/promo.html https://t.co/EB6AzkmLi8 http://www.artistsinfo.co.uk/artist/zeiko-duka/ http://issuu.com/suuartmagazine/docs/suuartmagazinecatalogozeikoduka

Multi media characters are acceptable, but you must make the version of that character that appears on television. So an Adam West Batman is allowed, but a comic book or movie version would not be.
-After some consideration puppets will be allowed. You just can't have a TV theme contest and leave out classics like Sesame Street, Thunderbirds or the Muppets...you just can't.
-Pro wrestlers are allowed in this contest if they are part of a televised program. It can be a regularly scheduled show like Raw, a Pay-per-view special, or just a local public access show. As long as they are televised in some way they are allowed for this contest.
-Animation/cartoons and claymation are not allowed for this contest.
-Entries may come from shows that haven't aired yet. For example entries for the show Defiance that is set to air on the Sci-Fi channel would be acceptable entries.
-As always there are no size restrictions for this contest. You may use any sort of materials, parts, tools or techniques that you wish. Whatever gets the job done..

DESPITE its inherent fascination, the subject of the size of birds' testicles is not one that often crops up in people's minds. It is, however, a current topic of discussion on a bird-watchers' discussion group (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Apparently, species where polyandry is common are particularly well endowed. The common dunnock fits into this category and develops a particularly large undercarriage in the spring. Alpine accentors (close relatives of the dunnock found in mountainous European and Asian locations) are even more impressive. They have a greater male to female ratio per breeding group than dunnocks, so there is more sperm competition among them. As a result, the equivalent size of their appendages in humans would be two large footballs.
A rather uncomfortable thought, Feedback feels.

Following a £1-million refurbishment, the Royal Albert Hall will unveil an exciting new restaurant on Tuesday 15 April. Verdi, an Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert Hall which replaces the former Café Consort, will be the iconic venue's sixth dining venue and will be operated by "rhubarb".
Providing 224 covers, Verdi will be open to the general public for lunch and dinner, from Tuesday to Sunday, as well as for customers attending shows at the Hall. "rhubarb" – renowned for its highly creative approach to cuisine – has created a menu which features authentic Italian dishes alongside a strictly Italian wine list. Highlights will include sea bream and olive gnocchi with spinach, tomato and caper dressing; stone-baked pizza with tiger prawns, asparagus, button mushrooms, mozzarella and tomato; and rigatoni arrabbiata with garlic, tomatoes and red chilli peppers all sourced from the finest Italian food suppliers passionate about the quality, integrity and flavour of their products.
Another feature of Verdi will be live music, part of the Royal Albert Hall's 'More at the Hall' series, every Friday from 8pm, lunchtime on Saturdays and as part of a brunch package on Sundays. The live music will showcase the most promising young talent in London, and will form part of the restaurant's casual, convivial atmosphere.
Jasper Hope, Chief Operating Officer at the Royal Albert Hall, said: "We have long wanted a restaurant dining experience that matched our ambition and was genuinely open to both ticketholders and those looking for something different in SW7. To see that now delivered in Verdi Italian Kitchen, along with great live music every week, is very exciting, and I'm sure will be a great addition to London's ever more sophisticated food scene."
With interiors by Keane Brands, the refurbished space has been sympathetic to its Grade I-listed surroundings whilst adding contemporary colours, textures and finishes. Fresh, modern and with a distinctly Italian feel, the restaurant will be a friendly, comfortable space to relax in with family and friends.
Managing Director of "rhubarb", Pieter-Bas Jacobse, commented: "The new Italian kitchen concept will offer a 'deliciously different' menu with mass appeal. The vibrant interior design is contemporary and chic and perfectly complements the authentic Italian dishes coming out of the kitchen. "rhubarb" is proud to have developed this concept in partnership with the Royal Albert Hall, and we look forward to delivering exceptional service and exquisite food."

Yesterday, 8th August, Tobermory RNLI's volunteer crew spent more than nine hours at sea going to the aid of a yacht aground off the Treshnish Isles .
Their Severn class lifeboat, Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey, launched at 10.25 following a 'mayday' call from a yacht with three persons on board, which was hard aground off Lunga in the Treshnish Isles, off the west coast of Mull.
Several other nearby vessels also responded to the call, including the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, Clansman, which diverted from its crossing to Coll and Tiree.
A RIB from a local fish farm also responded with an off duty lifeboat crew member aboard. Together with his fish farm colleagues, they successfully took the three persons off the yacht shortly before the arrival of the lifeboat.
The three persons were then transferred to the lifeboat and meanwhile two lifeboat volunteer crew members were deployed in the lifeboat's daughter craft, a small inflateable dinghy, to assess the damage to the yacht.
No apparent damage was found and the yacht did not appear to be taking on water.
As high water was some hours away, the crew members secured the vessel with a stern anchor and the lifeboat returned to Tobermory to await the rising tide.
The lifeboat launched again at 15.37 to attempt to refloat the yacht. Despite the worsening weather, with the sea conditions deteriorating and the wind gusting at 30mph, the lifeboat successfully established a tow and took the yacht to sheltered waters off the island of Gometra.
A salvage pump was taken aboard as some water ingress had been discovered. The yacht with two lifeboat crew aboard was towed to Tobermory, arriving there shortly after 21.00.
Tobermory lifeboat returned to station and was refuelled and made ready for service at 2140.
This was Tobermory RNLI's second 'shout' in 12 hours, following a launch on the evening of Wednesday 7th August to a vessel taking on water in Loch Sunart. In this instance, the lifeboat was stood down en route to the scene when another boat gave assistance.
Tobermory RNLI Coxswain Andrew McHaffie said: 'This was a lengthy but ultimately successful operation and we're all pleased that we managed to recover the yacht and its crew to Tobermory. I'd particularly like to thank all those vessels which responded to the 'Mayday' call, without whom the situation could have been much graver.'
This was Tobermory RNLI's 27th and 28th launch of 2013. The photograph shows the yacht aground off Lunga with the Royal Navy's search and rescue helicopter in attendance.

VIDEO: Futurama - the NES game
We've stumbled across a couple of funky NES mashup videos as of late (our favourite being the HD sound Super Mario Bros one) so we couldn't just ignore this Futurama NES video that we spotted on Likecool, even if it has been on YouTube almost three years.
It's obviously not a real game - Futurama first hit our screens in 1999, a good few years after the 8-bit console had it's day - but it looks brilliant and was made entirely using Flash.
It reminds us of the NES classic, The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants. Except with better one-liners and less purple spray paint.
Oh, and how apt is the 8-bit sound for Dr. Zoidberg? Brilliant.

Public Relation
What Is Public Relations?
"Public relations is the management function that identifies, establishes and maintains mutually beneficial relationships between an organisation and the various publics on whom its success or failure depends" - Scott Cutlip
Public relations, byname PR, is an aspect of communications involving the relations between an entity subject, to, or seeking public attention of the various publics that are, or may be interested in it. The entity seeking attention may be a business corporation, an individual politician, a performer or author, a government or government agency, a charitable organisation, a religious body, or almost any other person or organisation. The publics may include segments as narrow as female voters of a particular political party who are between 35 and 50 years of age or the shareholders in a particular corporation; or the publics may be as broad as any national population or the world at large. The concerns of public relations operate both ways between the subject entity, which may be thought of as the client, and the publics involved. The important elements of public relations are to acquaint the client with the public conceptions of the client and to affect these perceptions by focusing, curtailing, amplifying, or augmenting information about the client as it is conveyed to the publics.
Public relations encompasses a variety of marketing activities that strengthen organisations credibility, enhance organ...

The Bills and New York Giants play in the Hall of Fame Game. That means they're the only teams in the NFL with five preseason games. It also means an extra week of practice and an extra game to get ready for the regular season. But does it mean a better chance to win opening weekend? Well, that depends on how you interpret the history.
I've gone back and looked at the previous ten years of preseason football. Well, eleven years, really, but no team played more than four preseason games in 2011 due to the lockout.
Since 2003, there have been 10 Hall of Fame Games and two international games in Japan as "extra" preseason games for teams. Twelve games total. That's 24 teams who played an extra game.
Their overall records in Week One of the regular season in those years: 12-12.
Obviously, a stalemate that proves nothing. Unless you want to dig a bit deeper and, of course, look for some optimism regarding the Bills chances Week One at Chicago. To do that, just look at the difference in Week One records before the new CBA vs. after it was signed. Why? Because in the new CBA, teams can't hit, or even practice as much as they used to be able to leading up to the regular season. So, with already limited work allowed, the extra week may actually prove to be more valuable. Also, two-a-day practices were allowed before the new CBA. They aren't anymore. That meant teams with an extra week in the preseason could get worn down and suffer more injuries than teams who didn't have that fifth game.
Here are the numbers pre and post new CBA:
From 2006-2010, teams with an extra preseason game were only 2-8 in their regular season openers.
From 2008-2010, they were 0-6, including both the Bills and Titans who played in the Hall of Fame Game in 2009 and lost Week One.
However, since the new CBA rules came into play, teams with the extra week of preseason work are 3-1 in their regular season openers.
What does it all mean for the Bills September 7th at Chicago? Bills fans certainly hope the latest trend continues.

Yep, believe I mentioned this somewhere else
8 rounds does imho sound like a bit much, especially in close matches, where a team wont win 45+>0
Anyways we'll see!
Also, after playing MM and seeing how different it is from the rest of the inf map i really wanna suggest placing it in the rotation. 2x VV, 2x CC, 2x MM. The main reason is that Norway lost every match HARD on VV vs. Belgium, but won nearly every match on MM. This alone shows how different the maps are and it will def test the teams more on general teamwork rather than pure skills.
Anyone agree or ?

Researcher points to natural gas wells as drinking water pollution source
|Colonial map of Ohio Valley and surrounding areas. Some researchers claim producing natural gas from shale gas formations can lead to contamination of drinking water. (Fuse/Thinkstock)
Elevated levels of methane and other stray gases have been found in drinking water near natural gas wells in Pennsylvania's gas-rich Marcellus shale region, according to new research, reports NBC News and other news sources.
In the case of methane, concentrations were six times higher in some drinking water found within one kilometer of drilling operations.
Robert Jackson, an environmental scientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C., told NBC News the just-published research is "strong evidence" that the likeliest explanation for the gas found in drinking water is leaky wells."
Producing natural gas from shale rock formations involves a technique called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which shoots several million gallons of water laced with chemicals and sand deep underground to break apart chunks of shale, freeing trapped gas to escape through cracks and fissures into wells.
Pennsylvania natural gas production rose 69% in 2012 despite reduced drilling
The technique has unlocked the potential to usher in a new era of energy independence and may serve as a bridge to a clean energy future. But the fast-developing industry has raised a host of environmental concerns, including the potential for drinking water near natural gas wells to become contaminated, according to the NBC News report.
Earlier research from Jackson and his colleagues also found high concentrations of methane near natural gas wells. In this new study, Jackson's team analyzed 141 drinking water samples from private wells across northeastern Pennsylvania.
In addition to the higher methane concentrations, the new study documented higher ethane and propane concentrations. Ethane concentrations were 23 times higher at homes within a kilometer of a shale gas well. Propane was detected in 10 samples, all from wells within one kilometer of drilling.
All the gases appear to be fossil in origin. Jackson said the ethane and propane results support this view as these gases are not generated by microbes that can live in the ground and affect well water.
The researchers also conducted chemical analyses of hydrocarbon and helium that suggest the gas found in some instances comes from leaky steel pipes used in the extraction system.
The methane contamination may be a result of cracks in the cement that surrounds the outside of the steel tubing and serves as a barrier between the rock that is drilled through and the well. An improper cement job, Jackson explained, could permit gas from a pocket at mid-depth to move into the space outside the well, and move up to the drinking water.
The biggest known risk of high methane concentrations in drinking water is an explosion or fire due to the buildup of the gas in a confined space such as a basement or a shed, Jackson noted.
Naturally occurring methane is "ubiquitous" in water wells throughout the study region, Steve Everley, with the natural gas industry group Energy-in-Depth, writes in a blog post that characterizes the study as full of flaws. Chief among them, Everley argues that methane is ubiquitous in the region, and that the Duke University research team found methane in water wells "nowhere near natural gas wells."
The group also notes that the new research does not find evidence of fluids used during fracking in the groundwater.
The new research appears in a paper published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
