How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideasby David Bornstein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
What business entrepreneurs are to the economy, social entrepreneurs are to social change. They are, writes David Bornstein, the driven, creative individuals who question the status quo, exploit new opportunities, refuse to give up — and remake the world for the better.
How to Change the World tells the fascinating stories of these remarkable individuals — many in the United States, others in countries from Brazil to Hungary — providing an In Search of Excellence for the nonprofit sector. In America, one man, J.B. Schramm, has helped thousands of low-income high school students get into college. In South Africa, one woman, Veronica Khosa, developed a home-based care model for AIDS patients that changed government health polity. In Brazil, Fabio Rosa helped bring electricity to hundreds of thousands of remote rural residents. Another American, James Grant, is credited with saving 25 million lives by leading and "marketing" a global campaign for immunization. Yet another, Bill Drayton, created a pioneering foundation, Ashoka, that has funded and supported these social entrepreneurs and over a thousand like them.
These extraordinary stories highlight a massive transformation that is going largely unreported by the media: Around the world, the fastest-growing segment of society is the nonprofit sector, as millions of ordinary people — social entrepreneurs — are increasingly stepping in to solve the problems where governments and bureaucracies have failed. How to Change the World shows, as its title suggests, that with determination and innovation, even a single person can make a surprising difference. For anyone seeking to make a positive mark on the world, this will be both an inspiring readand an invaluable handbook.
"The inspiring portraits that emerge from his in-depth reporting on the environments in which individual programs evolved... certainly show these unstoppable entrepreneurs as extraordinarily savvy community development experts." Publishers Weekly
"The social entrepreneurs chronicled in this book are part of the vital generation of independent, creative leaders..." Bill Bradley
"...a book about hope, about courage, and about the power of those extraordinary men and women who change the world." Jeff Skoll, Founder and Chairman, Skoll Foundation; first president of eBay
"...Bornstein's book will touch the hearts and minds of many. I hope it will get the wide readership it deserves." Arminio Fraga, Former Governor of the Central Bank of Brazil
Book News Annotation:
"Social entrepreneurs" are to social change what business entrepreneurs are to the economy. Aimed at the general reader, this text presents inspiring accounts of dozens of individuals around the world who have stepped in to solve problems where governments and bureaucracies have failed. For example, one of the innovators profiled is a South African woman who developed a home-based care model for AIDS patients that changed government health policy. Another chapter tells the story of an American man credited with saving 25 million lives by marketing a global campaign for immunization.

text: We flew to Barcelona from Madrid for a one-night stay before our cruise. What drew us to this hotel was the rooftop terrace bar and restaurant. The hotel is on a corner with small discreet signage. The lobby is tiny, but off to one side is a very nice bar and continuing "around the corner" is a restaurant area with a very complete and delicious breakfast buffet. Our room was new and very nice, with a view of a neighboring backyard. The rooftop turned out to be a real gem. We were there on a Friday night and they were doing a bar-b-que. There also was a marvelous Brazilian band that began at 8 p.m. For us older folks, this was a real treat as we miss so much in Spain with their 10 p.m. start-times. We ended up spending 3 hours enjoying the music, fine wine, excellent food, and a terrific wait staff. We were most pleased with our stay.

1998 Toyota Tercel Review

"Great Car"
Great little car, thou 98 Horse power was a bit low. Standard that it was, was great for fuel economy. Great commuter car. Great in snow as well. I got almost 600 Kilometres out of a tank of gas.I never really had a major problem with it. I replaced the water pump on it, but that was it. My parents still have the car to this day.

Vampire Money Chapter 4: BloodChapter 4: BloodFrozen, I didn't respond to the call. My fragile nerves went through a shock when Frankie knocked and opened the door. "Hey, you okay? You've been acting beyond strange since the accident." He made accident sound like it was no big deal."No. I mean yes. Um I'm fine. I'm just same old Gerard
" I was such a bad liar, he wasn't fooled."Gee, you took a shower two days in a row." He gave me that 'I know your up to something look' and I blushed."What a guy can't be clean?" I smirked. He sat next to me on the bed and began to kiss me."No, Frankie, no! Bad idea." My fangs were starting to come out. I did what I could to hold them back. He started to unbutton my shirt but I pushed him off."Gerard? I'm sorry Gee. I didn't realize
""No, no. It's nothing you did wrong." Buttoning my shirt I realized we had stopped."Gerard where you going?" Mikey asked as I walked out the door."For a walk. For dinner that's not my boyfriend." And I angrily started to

Gerard!" Being shaken back and forth I attempted to adjust my eyes. Frank looked worried, almost terrified. I adjusted my self to sit up and he glomped me in a hug. "Gerard is something wrong? You've been asleep all day." I stared at him. "You're eyes are red. Like you're pupils. Let's go see Ray
""No." I pulled back from his attempt to get me up. "I've just not been feeling great. It's nothing." I laid back down and he laid with me."I just worry, Gee.""I know." I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. We laid there for a few second taking in the moment until there was a knock at the door. We sat up and Frank said:"Come in." It was Mikey."Hey glad to see your up. Ray wants to check your temperature." He said talking to me. If I resisted they would suspect I was hiding something. If I went they would see that my body temperature was extremely low and I have no pulse. So I just stared and got up. Ray sat at the booth table with m
Vampire Money Chapter2: CancerChapter 2: CancerHunger is different when you're a walking leach. Your stomach doesn't just growl and tell you to grab a hot dog and a beer. Your eyes get bloodshot, the fangs come out, and the first hit of the scent of blood you want. Well here I am. Sneaking into the closest hospital, just two miles from where Ray parked the trailer for the night. Almost forty eight hours ago my ex-fiancé lunged at me with razor sharp canines and made me a monster. That's the reality of all this. But I can't live like this; I can't keep breaking into hospitals for blood bags, killing homeless people and most of all I can't hid who I am from the boys. Bob doesn't believe in fairy tales, Ray will just think I'm sick in the head and diagnose it as a medical issue, Mikey will think I've lost my mind and probably disown me as his brother. And Frank

" A sexual feminine voice whispered my name. I looked around. No one. I was so not focused on the broken wrist I had just acquired but on the fact I had no idea where I was. Ignoring the pain, I listened to the dead silence except for the high heels on the pavement drawing nearer."Who was I running from? What was I running from?" The outline of a figure stood in the shadows then walked under the lamp light. My jaw dropped. "Eliza?" In the blink of an eye she sprouted fangs and lurched towards me.Chapter 1: Dead!Bump. "Huh? Uhh
" I looked to my right to familiarize myself with my surroundings. "Trailer?" I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and cringed with a shot of pain that went through my neck and hit the two bite marks. "I have to get out of here. I have to-" I shot up and looked forward, my thoughts got interrupted by soft lips. He threw his arms around me

What GAO Found
In fiscal year 2014, the Navy plans to commit to investing an estimated $3.7 billion to develop, build, and field from 6 to 24 aircraft as an initial increment of Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) capability. However, it is not planning to hold a Milestone B review--a key decision that formally initiates a system development program and triggers key oversight mechanisms--until after the initial UCLASS capability has been developed and fielded in fiscal year 2020. The Navy views UCLASS as a technology development program, although it encompasses activities commensurate with system development, including system integration and demonstration. Because the initial UCLASS system is to be developed, produced, and fielded before a Milestone B decision, Congress's ability to oversee the program and hold it accountable for meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals will likely be limited. Specifically, the program will operate outside the basic oversight framework provided by mechanisms like a formal cost and schedule baseline, statutory unit cost tracking, and regular reports to Congress on cost, schedule, and performance progress. The Navy believes its approach effectively utilizes the flexibility in the Department of Defense's (DOD) acquisition policy to gain knowledge needed to ensure a successful UCLASS system development program starting in fiscal year 2020. Yet the Navy expects to review preliminary designs, conduct a full and open competition, and award a contract for UCLASS development in fiscal year 2014, a point at which DOD policy and best practices indicate that a program would be expected to hold a Milestone B review to initiate a system development program. Apart from deferring Milestone B, the Navy's plan would be consistent with the knowledge-based acquisition process reflected in DOD policy.
UCLASS faces several programmatic risks going forward. First, the UCLASS cost estimate of $3.7 billion exceeds the level of funding that the Navy expects to budget for the system through fiscal year 2020. Second, the Navy has scheduled 8 months between the time it issues its request for air vehicle design proposals and the time it awards the air vehicle contract, a process that DOD officials note typically takes 12 months to complete. Third, the UCLASS system is heavily reliant on the successful development and delivery of other systems and software, which creates additional schedule risk. Fourth, the Navy will be challenged to effectively manage and act as the lead integrator for three separate but interrelated segments--air vehicle, carrier, and control system--and 22 other government systems, such as the aircraft landing system, the timing and alignment of which are crucial to achieving the desired UCLASS capability. While the Navy recognizes many of these risks and has mitigation plans in place, they could lead to cost increases and schedule delays if not effectively addressed.
The Navy's UCLASS acquisition strategy includes some good acquisition practices that reflect aspects of a knowledge-based approach. For example, the Navy is leveraging significant knowledge gained from prior technology development efforts, incorporating an open systems design approach, working to match the system's requirements with available resources, and reviewing preliminary designs for the air vehicle before conducting a competition to select a single contractor to develop and deliver the air vehicle segment.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Navy estimates that it will need $3.7 billion from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2020 to develop and field an initial UCLASS system. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 mandated that GAO evaluate the UCLASS system acquisition strategy. This report (1) assesses the UCLASS acquisition strategy, (2) identifies key areas of risk facing the system, and (3) notes areas where the Navy's strategy contains good practices. To do this work, GAO reviewed the Navy's acquisition strategy and compared it to DOD's acquisition policy, among other criteria; and reviewed Navy acquisition documents and spoke with Navy and Office of the Secretary of Defense officials.
What GAO Recommends
Congress should consider directing the Navy to hold a Milestone B review for the UCLASS system after the system level preliminary design review is complete.If the Navy does not comply, Congress should consider limiting the amount of funding available for the UCLASS system until an acquisition program baseline is provided. GAO included these matters for consideration because the Navy does not plan to make changes as a result of GAOs recommendation to hold a Milestone B review following the system level preliminary design reviewwhich is currently scheduled in fiscal year 2015. The Navy did not concur with the recommendation, and believes that its approved strategy is compliant with acquisition regulations and laws. GAO continues to believe that its recommendation is valid as discussed in this report.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: The Department of Defense, more specifically the Navy, non-concurred with our recommendation. The Secretary of Defense did not direct the Secretary of the Navy to hold a Milestone B review for the UCLASS system following the system level preliminary design review.
Recommendation: In order to provide for increased congressional oversight and program accountability, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Navy to hold a Milestone B decision review for the UCLASS system following the system level preliminary design review--which is currently scheduled in fiscal year 2015.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Open
Comments: Congress did not direct the Navy to hold a Milestone B review for the UCLASS system after the system level preliminary design review is complete. However, in the Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act Congress did require the Navy limit the number of air vehicle segments acquired prior to receiving Milestone B approval and required the Navy to provide periodic reports on cost, schedule, and requirements changes for UCLASS. Furthermore, in the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act Congress required the Navy, at the time of its fiscal year 2017 budget submission, to provide a report establishing a formal acquisition program cost and schedule baseline.
Recommendation: To enhance program oversight and accountability given that the Navy does not plan to modify its acquisition strategy and hold a Milestone B decision review for the UCLASS system following the system level preliminary design review in fiscal year 2015, Congress should consider directing the Navy to hold a Milestone B review for the system after the system level preliminary design review is complete.
Agency Affected: Congress
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Navy did not comply with our recommendation for the UCLASS to hold a Milestone B review after system level preliminary design review was complete. As a result, and as we asked Congress to consider, in the Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act Congress required that the Navy limit the number of air vehicle segments acquired prior to receiving Milestone B approval and required the Navy to provide periodic reports on cost, schedule, and requirements changes for UCLASS.
Recommendation: If the Navy does not comply, Congress should consider limiting the amount of funding available for the UCLASS system until the Navy provides the basic elements of an acquisition program baseline, such as development and production cost estimates, unit costs, quantities, schedules, annual funding profiles, and key performance parameters needed for such a large investment. The Navy should also be required to periodically report the program's status against the baseline.

When we first arrived in Montezuma we were staying at a different hotel. When we were walking down the street, however, we saw a sign in front of El Sano Banano advertising a reduced room rate. Upon walking in and checking out the hotel, we were sold.
* The Staff (Martin, et al) were amazing! They went out of their way to make our stay fantastic.
* The cost (June, 2012) was $45 a night for an air conditioned double room, right in the center of town that included an amazing breakfast. The rooms were cleaned every day.
* The breakfast was no ordinary hotel breakfast. We got to choose off of a menu that included the typical Costa Rican breakfast, banana pancakes, french toast, yogurt/fruit/granola, coffee or juice. It was fantastic.
* The restaurant downstairs shows popular movies every night, in English with Spanish subtitles.
* One of the best things about El Sano Banano is the fact that it's linked to the Ylang Ylang resort so you can go over and use their facilities (which you should!).
I would definitely stay there again.

The SandboxRead MoreFrills equal distractions when it comes to working out. That's according to the certified trainers who own CrossFit Liger, a member of the gym family named the sixth-best in America by The Active Times. That's why none of their classes involve fancy treadmills, designer rubber bands, or high heels. Instead, classes feature trainers such as Dr. Adam Locker leads students through group classes and personal-training sessions, and seasoned coaches who oversee each participant, monitoring progress as they deliver safety tips and words of encouragement. Gymnastics-inspired bodyweight exercises such as handstands and muscle-ups build lean muscle mass, and plyometrics foster agility and stamina. Many sessions also incorporate running or rowing to raise heart rates and melt calories. In addition to sculpting lean muscle, kettlebell training cultivates flexibility with focused squats and swinging motions. Instructors also instill in their clients the CrossFit style with functional movements that aim to boost strength, power, and coordination. Workouts take place in warehouses and other spartan spaces that embody a cultivated lack of the bells and whistles that often masquerade as fitness essentials. Here, basic tools such as kettlebells, jump ropes, and weighted sleds get the job done for a wide range of exercisers, from absolute beginners to advanced athletes.1470 North Federal HighwayPompano Beach, FL US
CrossFit Hardcore CentralRead MoreAt CrossFit Hardcore Central, it's pretty routine to see athletes lifting weights overhead one minute and then doing dips on gymnastics bars the next. But "routine" is a four-letter word at this gym, considering that the Workouts of the Day (WODs) change every day to keep muscles and their owners guessing. Based on CrossFit's principle of varied, functional fitness, exercises never repeat workouts. Sessions may include weightlifting, running, rowing, gymnastics, plyometrics, and body-weight movements such as pushups, chin-ups, and squats. CrossFit Hardcore Central's 6800 sq. ft. facility also has an air-conditioned, unsupervised lounge for kids and showers on site.1410 Southwest 29th AvenuePompano Beach, FL US

Comcast Exec: We Need To Change Customer Behavior, Not Our Business Model
from the good-luck,-buddy dept
His ultimate goal -- to maintain or increase revenue for Comcast -- makes perfect sense, and is positively what a cable COO should be focused on. From there on out, though, he's off in the weeds. How about offering this new generation new and innovative services that are worth paying for? That's challenging, of course... but how challenging will it be to change the next generation's behavior "to respect subscription revenue." Yikes.
How many consumers, in any market, are focused on "respecting" vendors' revenue streams? How, exactly, does he propose to effect this sea change? And why not just develop products that consumers will willingly pay for, rather than trying to change consumer behavior in such a fundamental way?"
The quotes really are quite stunning. Burke basically seems to be saying the focus needs to be on figuring out ways to get consumers to change, rather than changing to match what customers want. A business model based on going against what consumers want doesn't seem likely to last that long.

Myth Debunking: Fans Just Want Everything For Free
from the except-when-they-don't dept
So everyone wants the product -- but too many don't want to pay for it. Hell, I don't want to pay for it. I would love it if I could get all the movies and music I want for free. And I would love it if I could get all the BMWs, houses in the hills, and meals at Urasawa I want for free as well. But of course I realize I can't. Just about everyone is with me on the BMWs and houses part. But too many think that movies and music should be free, and don't see anything wrong with taking them. I'm willing to say they're wrong.This is a myth. It's a popular myth, and I'm quite sure that Sheffner and lots of folks on both sides of the debate think its entirely accurate. But it's a myth. The nature of a good economic transaction is one in which both parties are better off after the exchange. That means the people "paying" don't mind paying. They're happy to pay because they believe that what they have received is better than the cost it took to acquire it. But basic economics plays into the situation here: if the same thing can be made available by others in a better way, it's only natural for people to ask why they should have to pay.
Everyone understands why they can't have all the physical goods they want for free. But they have a much harder time understanding that with intangible goods like movies and music. IP is just harder to understand, and to explain, than physical property. We need theories to undergird it, special laws to define it, and special classes at law school to learn how to fight over it -- not to mention eight-volume treatises to tell us what the law actually is. So when people commit copyright infringement, they may think they're causing no harm -- but they are. They're undermining a system that enables those big, bad companies that everyone loves to hate, to finance the movies and albums that we all love.
But if you want real proof that there's a lot more at work than the idea that consumers just want everything for free and think that if it's not free they should just take it, look no further than the countless examples we've shown of people paying lots of money to support those providers who don't treat their fans as criminals, who don't try to prevent what the technology allows and who actually work to connect with those fans and give them a true reason to buy.
Everyone wants a good deal, and a fair deal, but people are more than willing to pay if it makes economic sense. Whether consciously or not, there are an awful lot of people who inherently recognize that the economics don't make sense when a good is infinitely available. As much as people have trouble understanding explicit economic concepts like supply and demand, instinctively many do, in fact, understand the very nature of abundance and what it means for pricing. It's not some nefarious story of a bunch of immoral "thieves" wanting stuff for free. It's an inherent understanding of competitive markets.
On top of that, Sheffner takes the position that paying for these things is necessary, because not paying for them "undermines the system," he is once again being misleading. It may undermine one particular way that the system works, but the false statement is implicit in his argument: that this is the only way of funding such creation. That is demonstrably false, as we've shown time and time again. I have no doubt that Sheffner is sincere in his argument, but it's based on a false premise that because the system used to work one way, back before technology changed the basic economics it relied on, that somehow we should all suffer by limiting what the technology allows and by ignoring basic economics.
It would be nice if it were possible, but I cannot find a single example of a modern society being able to successfully hold back or ignore what technology allows when it comes to economics.
Finally, way back when I was in high school, I worked at a bagel shop, which also sold other baked goods. The boss's position was that "the customer is always right" except for one particular issue: the customer could only get the next piece of coffee cake in order. We had this giant sheet cake coffee cake, and many customers didn't want "end pieces," and would ask for middle pieces instead. On more than one occasion, this resulted in angry customers stomping out -- and even once resulted in a fist fight between a customer and the owner's son. Over time, as more competition entered the neighborhood (a Dunkin' Donuts across the street, another bagel shop a block away), we lost a lot of business for our baked goods.
The point, which should be clear, is that you can say the customer is wrong all you want. But, in the end, the market will decide that the customer is right. Always. If you don't provide what the customer wants (a fair transaction) and others are able to do so, you will suffer.
The movie industry and the music industry both have had numerous opportunities to embrace what the technology allows -- and to craft new business models that would be massive money makers in doing so. They have chosen not to do so. They have said that the customer is wrong, and, as Sheffner notes, they have no problem saying so. The problem is that, whether legal or not, the competition is springing up left and right. Sheffner and his former colleagues can stand on whatever principles they want. The market doesn't care. The market only cares for those who serve the customers' needs. Plenty of others are doing so (both legally and illegally). Those who want to survive in business would be smart to take lessons from those who are succeeding and looking to implement smart business models around them. Those who want to insist that "the customer can be wrong" may feel good when they look in the mirror, but they're going to have to contend with a rapidly diminishing customer base.
The customer can be wrong, but focusing on that doesn't get them to pay you.

SitePoint: Rather Than Freaking Out Over Piracy, We Decided To Adapt
from the good-for-them dept
In the 18 months I have worked at SitePoint, barely a week has gone by where I have not received at least a couple of emails from customers questioning the logic behind our password protection policy. My response, based on the SitePoint philosophy, was always that we were taking an ethical (if largely symbolic) stance on the piracy issue. But how long could we maintain that line while simultaneously placing primacy on the customer experience, as all the while more and more requests to remove password protection poured in.Kudos to another company recognizing that pissing off your best customers is hardly a way to run a business.
As a web development resource and learning centre, we know that we must embrace the state of flux -- not as a lofty ideal, but as a normative imperative. You can't claim to be all about the cutting edge when you're stubbornly clinging to old, outmoded processes -- especially when your own beloved customers are urging you to move on. And if we're not keeping pace with the constantly evolving face of web design and development, then we're neither a resource nor a learning centre -- we're a museum.

Premier League's Fear Of The Internet A Case Study In What Not To Do
from the this-is-not-a-good-idea dept
Compare that to the Premier League in the UK. It's been nearly five years since the league first started freaking out about people watching unauthorized streams online. But rather than trying to serve those underserved customers, the Premier League has repeatedly lashed out at anyone who might possibly enable these games to be seen online. For example, it's sued YouTube apparently unaware that the company is protected by the safe harbors of the DMCA, and (if anyone) it should be going after those who actually upload the games. It's also suing Justin.tv in the same misguided fashion.
Amazingly, the league seems proud of the fact that it's going after these companies, rather than the appropriate targets. Jeff T alerts us to an article in the Guardian which is basically a case study in what not to do about these things. It hypes up how the Premier League purposely goes after the platform providers, as if that's a good thing. It also (bizarrely) claims that these anti-fan maneuvers are somehow a different and better response than the way the music industry responded to unauthorized file sharing. But that's not true. While it's not suing fans directly, it's still suing to stop fans from doing what they want to do. It's the same exact mistake.
Rather than recognizing the simple fact that the reason fans watch these streams online is because the Premier League has failed to offer it up themselves, the Premier League seems to relish the fact that it makes it more difficult for fans to see its product. The article talks about the "Saturday blackouts" on video designed to get more fans to go to matches, without recognizing that such blackouts have been shown to be pointless. There used to be rules for baseball in the US that games that weren't sold out wouldn't be shown on TV, but eventually people realized that people weren't watching on TV as a substitute for going to the game, but because they love their favorite team and want to watch them however possible. The more they can watch them on TV, the more interested they are in seeing live games.
Jeff, who sent this story in, makes the point quite clearly, by noting that he watches poor quality streams of Premier League matches in Canada because the League refuses to make most of their matches available to watch online. Rather than going after the companies that run platforms that enable such things, there's a really simple solution: offer high quality online webcasts yourself, and actually serve the fans. But that seems far beyond the Premier League's strategic thinking.

EMI's CEO Admits Company 'Lost Touch' But Doesn't Seem To Know How To Fix It
from the perhaps-by-not-suing-everyone dept
But... old habits die really hard, apparently. The company has been suing pretty much every innovative startup that comes along, often targeting execs personally in attempts to bankrupt them. Sometimes it's been going after hobbyists or investors beyond just the actual companies. Often times, the company seems to be negotiating with innovators on the one hand, while filing unexpected lawsuits at the same time. One of the key techies it hired, Doug Merrill from Google, left after less than a year. More recently, the company refused to agree to more reasonable (but still high) streaming rates to get music back on YouTube in the UK.
Basically, it appears that EMI said it wanted to do something new, but couldn't resist doing everything it could to snuff out innovation. It takes more than words to actually convince both consumers and musicians that you're really adapting. Is it any wonder that people aren't fans? EMI's CEO is now admitting that the company "lost touch" with consumers:
"Music is in demand and the demand is growing all the time, but we've clearly lost touch with our consumers. I passionately believe that if we listen to our consumers, this gap will become our opportunity."Ok, so start listening! STOP SUING INNOVATORS. Stop suing executives and investors in those innovators. Stop using lawsuits as a negotiation tactic. Start focusing on giving fans what they want. Start focusing on enabling new business models that work for artists. Stop thinking about getting a transaction on every piece of music played, but start looking at ways to use the music to create additional products people want to buy. Stop trying to limit users and limit musicians. Enable them both. Also, over a year ago, Topspin's Ian Rogers wrote a brilliant open letter to EMI execs suggesting a rather smart way it could leverage its existing artist relationships. It doesn't seem like EMI listened at all.
If EMI wants help in listening, why not contact some of us who have been presenting solutions and showing what works? We're not that hard to reach, and I'm sure plenty of folks in our community would be more than willing to provide some incredibly useful suggestions.

Even More eMusic Features Disabled?
from the anti-fan-is-not-a-good-thing dept
"July 1 was the first day in the Sony era over at eMusic. Despite published interviews with eMusic executives, FAQs on the eMusic web site and messages from eMusic employees on the eMusic forums attempting to clarify the new pricing structure, there were quite a few surprises. Some of the changes I've noticed (or read about in the forums) include:This seems like an increasing disaster. Hopefully some of these changes are mistakes, rather than permanent. But the way this whole situation has been handled is going to make a terrific case study in how not to do PR. eMusic has turned from a company that customers really loved into one that many seem to hate... and it's happened in an incredibly short time frame. That's really unfortunate.
IMO, the fact that eMusic did such a poor job communicating these important changes suggests that they deliberately withheld (or downplayed) this information, possibly to keep from fueling the outrage generated from last month's Sony/pricing announcement."
- Certain tracks can only be downloaded with "paid" credits, not the free credits eMusic hands out for trial memberships.
- Individual track downloads disabled for tracks longer than 10 minutes - you must download the entire album
- Certain (popular) sub-10-minute tracks disabled for individual download
- No downloading individual discs in multi-disc sets
- Most new albums use 12-credit album pricing (very few reports of 6 or 9 credit album pricing)
- Many (a significant portion in the classical section at least) albums with fewer than 12 tracks cost 12 credits
- Many albums previously available on eMusic have been re-priced (in some cases, tracks available for 1 credit on June 30 now require 12 credits)

Stardock CEO: Focus On Your Customers; Don't Worry About Pirates
from the exactly dept
This isn't new or surprising. It's what Stardock has always said. And it's the same sort of attitude that others who have found success with content these days have had, as well. It's never pleasant to find someone is copying content/software/whatever you've made, but you can't worry about them. It's a waste of time and effort. People will always make unauthorized copies, and any effort to stop them will only hurt those who actually want to give you money. So focus on providing real value for those who want to buy, and stop worrying so much about everyone else.
The reality that most PC game publishers ignore is that there are people who buy games and people who don't buy games. The focus of a business is to increase its sales. My job, as CEO of Stardock, is not to fight worldwide piracy no matter how much it aggravates me personally. My job is to maximize the sales of my product and service and I do that by focusing on the people who pay my salary -- our customers.You can waste an awful lot of energy and resources "fighting pirates" and losing, or you can focus on actually serving your customers and making money. Which seems more intelligent?

Life as an AD's Wife
So I guess we're going with this post-every-two-months theme, and now I'm cutting it close on the last day of August.
We're officially moved.
House is done, boxes are unpacked, new jobs started.
I know, the same old song and dance I usually post about this time of year, on a rolling three-to-five year schedule.
You know what's amazing?
When we lived up in Hattiesburg three years ago (after Missouri, before Florida, sheesh!) we would drive down to the Mississippi coast and daydream about how fabulous it would be to live in this little cute town called Ocean Springs.
Well. Be careful what you pray for, cause look out OS, here we are!
The poor lady at the DMV, after looking at all the states I've held a driver's license, started to thank me for my husband's service to our country.
Seriously. Whenever people hear all the places we've lived, they either think 1) Military or 2) On the run from the law.
I always have to go into an hour long diatribe about how Matt was a high school baseball coach, but baseball isn't what it used to be (thanks, travel ball!) and now he's an athletic director and now we're lugging a piano halfway across the country and I can't find my towels and the dogs are carsick.
I refuse to move again.
Unless there are mountains involved. And snow. And Alaska.
Anyway, we're here. It feels kind of like we never left Mississippi. I picked up my "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'm" and "Y'all come back now, you hear??" like I never stopped saying it, cause in Florida they give you looks for doing that.
One thing that's fantastic is that we're so much closer to family now, and we've already had visitors. When you live in Florida, everyone says they're going to come visit you and the beach and have a great time, but it never happens, because your husband moved you basically to the outskirts of Miami and it takes a year and a half of planning for anyone to make it down that far into the state.
And Miami is scary.
Ok, I'm exaggerating. We weren't that far. But Miami is scary.
Give me my little house on the marsh. Quiet and private after crazy-busy 12 hour shifts or ball games. Just me, my husband and dogs, and the rapidly-multiplying family of nutria on the banks right out our backyard.
Oh, and the ball games? So....did you know that Athletic Directors go to WAY more games than coaches do? Remember my "I'm a sports widow, woe is me" posts during baseball season?
Please. Child's play. I had no clue.
But you know what? This is the absolute happiest I've ever seen him. He's right in his element, telling other people what to do, cause Lord knows he can't pull that with me.
Just kidding.
But not really.
Honestly, he's awesome. He's fair, he's honest, he loves the idea of running a very successful athletic program, and he's more OCD than I am. The man's a walking spreadsheet of budgets and statistics. He's in his element, and I'm so proud of him.
And I have to say it's a LOT less stressful sitting in the stands at a game as the Athletic Director's wife than it was as the coach's wife. A lot. Plus he'll smile and talk to me. Bonus.
Here's to a great start in Mississippi!
Today I love: Lots of coffee after a rough three shifts at work. Coffee with more coffee. And a side of coffee.

An Open Letter to My In-Laws Regarding the Care of My Dogs
I KNOW I make fun of my sister for writing out seventeen pages of notes for me whenever I take care of the girls, and now here I am doing it for our dogs.
DOGS, people. DOGS.
My sweet, somewhat gluttons-for-punishment in-laws have volunteered to keep Suka, Knuke and Kaia for the next two to three weeks while we transition from Florida to Mississippi.
I know they'll do a great job, they really love their Grandpuppies, but I'm still that Paranoid Crazy Dog Mom Lady.
Seriously, you might want to pass on the other side of the street if you see me.
Dear Mom and Dad W:
Matt thinks I'm insane, and has told me so on a daily basis, so I ask that you guys just humor me. I know they're just dogs, but they're dogs that have feelings and emotions and are basically human.
So here it is. The Daily Schedule. It's pretty intense with snuggling and belly rubs and specialty treats made out of buffalo and sweet potatoes, but I have all the faith that you can do this.
6:00ish AM - Outside for potty. They usually just tinkle then come back in to fall back asleep. Kaia may or may not start howling for breakfast. Just tell her to chill and she'll calm down.
Actually, she won't. She just increases in volume and frequency.
You can actually set your clocks by her pre-meal songs. Daylight Savings threw her off her game for a little bit, but she figured it out and is now bigger and louder than ever.
Between 7:00 - 8:00 am - Breakfast. Suka gets the blue bowl, Knuke has the green slow-down bowl and Kaia's is the pink slow-down bowl. The huskies each get one scoop and Knuke gets a scoop and a half. They need to be fed in separate corners because none of them know how to eat within the same vicinity of each other without growling and trying to show who's boss.
It's Kaia, BTW. The boys are scared to death of her.
Suka may not eat, but that's normal. He's a snacker while the others are scarfers.
After breakfast, outside again for morning poops.
Then I usually leave for work, and they have free reign of everything in the house. I think they mostly sleep, but the toy basket is available just in case.
***I know at this point (actually way before this point), I'm sounding like a ridiculously crazy dog lady. I'm sorry. So very, very sorry. There's actually more. I'm so sorry.***
After work, afternoonish, whatever - outside for potty, play, etc. The only thing I'm worried about is Suka trying to dig under your fence...I know this also sounds OCD/paranoid/overprotective, but huskies are known escape artists and can't ever be left alone or off leash unless they're inside a physical structure.
And even then it's a crapshoot. Suka is sneaky. This is the boy who can open all the bedroom doors by himself - I can't decide if I'm proud or horrified.
Dinner is around 6, same setup as breakfast. After dinner, outside for potty.
Before and after dinner, they're used to some pretty intense snuggling and ear rubs. Knuke likes to be on the couch with his head in my lap while we watch TV or read...until Suka freaks out and makes Knuke move over so he can take his place. Kaia just likes to wander around with her bear in her mouth. Or her sockball. Or both.
She's special.
Last potty is right before bedtime, around 9-10pm.
Bedtime- Knuke preferably likes to sleep between your legs with his head on your butt all. night. long, so then you wake up in a dripping sweat, unable to move any lower-body muscles. It's awesome.
Also, can you continually talk to them and tell them I haven't abandoned them and that I love and miss them? And text me pictures of them every five minutes?
PS: We'll pay for any damages, physical and/or mental.

... Rome. We arrived in Rome at 10 and exited at the St. Peter's station. Everyone went one direction while Sergio took us the opposite (to the displeasure of the train staff). While the other route was simpler and shorter, the route we took was a back door route which included seeing the Vatican train station entrance and a walk along the wall of the Vatican. It was really neat coming in to the Vatican City from another side as opposed to ...
Ahhh Roma
... family had the pope at the time, others show cardinal hats. As we headed back to the car, we stopped at the back door of a bakery and Ivanao got pizza, freshly baked for us all to enjoy. It was great - I mean, what else would you eat at 5 am? We drove a little more then got out and walked past some churches and palaces and fountains. Virtually no people around so it was very easy to see everything. Then we walk into another square and Ivano draws our attention to an ...

It was amazing! Michelangelo was a true talent. The detail was superb and we spent ages in there looking from one spot to the next and back again. The tour itself was a bit of a cop-out though.

After that noisy night, I didn't get up nearly as early this morning. Not late though, the church bells ring at 7:00 AM! But it was after 10 am by the time I left to do some exploring.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Jameis Winston and Florida State didn't take long to hush Death Valley, making a statement that that could be heard from Alabama to Oregon.
The Seminoles' remarkable redshirt freshman threw for 444 yards and three touchdowns and No. 5 Florida State crushed No. 3 Clemson 51-14 Saturday night. When the first BCS standings of the season come out Sunday, Florida State should be right there with the top-ranked Crimson Tide and second-ranked Ducks, fighting for the top spots.
"Do we deserve to be in the top two? We deserve to be No. 1," Florida State linebacker Telvin Smith said.
The Atlantic Coast Conference's game of the year, billed as maybe the league's biggest game ever, quickly became a Seminoles' seminar on how to take apart a top-five opponent on its hostile home turf in front of 83,428.
"We don't play against noise. We're playing against the Clemson Tigers," Winston said. "It was amazing, when we were out on the field that first snap. It was loud and we started smiling because we don't play against noise."
The game started with two Heisman Trophy contender quarterbacks. It ended with one.
Playing in one of the loudest stadiums in the country, Winston was unfazed, going 22 for 34 for Florida State (6-0, 4-0). His first throw was a 22-yard touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin, and he scrambled for a 4-yard touchdown that made it 41-7 with 4:04 left in the third quarter.
"They took advantage of our mistakes," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "They might be the best team in the country."
Tajh Boyd threw two interceptions for Clemson, and his first-quarter fumble was returned 37 yards for touchdown by Mario Edwards. Clemson (6-1, 4-1) turned it over a season-high four times, the first one on the first play from scrimmage.
"We know we're better than how we played, but nobody cares about that," Swinney said.
Rashad Greene caught eight passes for 146 yards and two scores, including a 72-yard sprint that made it 24-7 Florida State in the second quarter.
The Seminoles broke a five-game losing streak at Memorial Stadium, scored more points than any opponent ever has in Death Valley and gave fourth-year coach Jimbo Fisher his biggest victory since taking over for Bobby Bowden.
Florida State is also perfect through six games for the first time since 1999, the last time Bowden's 'Noles won the national championship.
Maybe after all these years, the Seminoles are finally back to that level?
"They're mature, they're growing, they're older, they understand the moments," Fisher said of his team.

June Ann Blocker, 52, arrested for DUI after driving her car into a Kroger store for the second time in Hardin County, Kentucky
Police: Woman intentionally rams car into a Kroger for 2nd time.
It was a wild scene Wednesday afternoon in Elizabethtown after police said a woman rammed her car right into the front entrance of a busy Kroger store, injuring two people, and has quite a history with grocery stores and crashes.
Woman buys car just so she can ram it into shop
A friend of Blocker defended her, saying: 'I knew about the incidents, but it never changed how I felt about June. I care about her, she's always been a wonderful person to me and I want the very best for her.'
It was a wild scene Wednesday afternoon in Elizabethtown after police said a woman rammed her car right into the front entrance of a busy Kroger store, injuring two people, and has quite a history with grocery stores and crashes. Police said 52-year-old June Ann Blocker drove her car into a checkout lane. Apparently Blocker bought a 2006 four-door Lincoln earlier in the day for the sole purpose of crashing it into the store. Police said Blocker was charged more than a decade ago with doing the exact same thing at another Elizabethtown Kroger. Following Wednesday's incident she is facing charges of DUI, assault, criminal mischief and wanton endangerment charges has a lengthy criminal history. Friends of Blocker said the two Kroger drive-thru store attacks go back to a long running vendetta she has with the company as a former employee. Kroger isn't the only chain where Blocker has been blocked from entry. A court order demanded she stay away from all Hardin County Walmart stores and take her medication. Friends said that happened after Blocker attempted to hit an employee with a baseball bat.

And to ensure that an injured victim's rights are maintained, it is important to find an experienced Louisville auto accident attorney to handle the insurance claim.

Wild Western Women
Chance encounters with unusual women in a provocative tale by Meloy and a darkly comic story by Ford.
SELECTED SHORTS tours regularly to venues around the country, and the two stories on this program were presented in Missoula, Montana. The first, "Liliana," is by Montana-born Maile Meloy. Meloy, who is now based in California, told host Isaiah Sheffer and SHORTS literary commentator Hannah Tinti (in a phone interview) that the story's unusual premise was the result of a comment by one reader that her fiction never included either ghosts or small boys. In this tale of a glamorous grandmother briefly invading the painfully constructed normal life of the narrator, Meloy says she explores the power of money to stand in for love. And Tinti comments that "Liliana" is larger-than-life, Auntie Mame-like creation. Meloy's story collections include "Half in Love: Stories," and "Liars and Saints." "Liliana" was published in The Paris Review, and Meloy also contributes to The New Yorker and the New York Times, among other publications.
The reader is SHORTS regular James Naughton.
Isaiah Sheffer adds to his repertory of slightly besieged men with a virtuoso read of Richard Ford's "Going to the Dogs," in which the down-on-his-luck narrator meets two gun-toting broads who turn his world upside-down in a day. Ford is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sportswriter and Independence Day among many celebrated works.
The musical interludes are from ""Bei Dir War Es Immer So Schön," from the album Musik Der Stunde Null. The SELECTED SHORTS theme is Roger Kellaway's "Come to the Meadow."

Here it is! First time i've ever owned an xl. Compared with my regular 3ds it looks like a beast. The screen looks a little blurry for my liking, definitely not as crisp as my old 3ds but I can live with it. The 3d is a bit of a disappointment to be honest. It's better than the old models
Today i'm 24. Yay...I think? I'm getting old really fast :/
On the plus side I got a Wii U from my brother! Didn't expect it at all as he's already booked me a little 2 day holiday in March for my birthday. I just woke up and he said he'd got me something but I thought it would be something basic like a make up set or a massive box of chocolates. Couldn't believe it when I saw he'd got me a Wii U! I'm still in the process of setting it up and installing all the updates.
So over the past week me and my family have noticed a lot of tiny flies around the house. I didn't think much of it at first but it quickly became clear that they weren't just flying in through open doors on hot days. I did some Google searches and found out that they were fruit flies. Never had them before and I began feeling very creeped out just being in the same room as them. When we prepared food and ate, they were around, trying to land on stuff. They'd fly out of the bread bin and one even
The release date for the UK was announced as September 2nd! Not that long really.

I didn't want to have to install loads of cc just to get a Sim that looked half decent. Also, it killed my computer to run. Apparently they have toned down the graphics in the Sims 4 so that it runs much smoother on lower spec machines. A lot of people

Vogue magazine food writer Steingarten picks up where The Man Who Ate Everything left off, offering foodies a mouthwatering collection of nearly 40 obsessive essays. "Sometimes, I feel like a giant bluefin, my powerful musculature propelling me around the world in search of food," he explains in an essay about toro, the tender tuna belly used in Japanese cuisine. Equal parts travelogue and investigative reporting, Steingarten's writing is funny, fast-paced and clever. Whether re-creating a perfect plate of coq au vin using rooster procured from a live poultry market, braising ribs for his dog or taste-testing espresso in his Manhattan loft cum laboratory ("Right now there are 14 brand new, state-of-the-art, home espresso makers in my house...."), Steingarten proves himself a true gastronome. Of course, his interest in food goes beyond haute cuisine-freeze-dried foods, hot dog buns, even his beloved Milky Way bars do not escape scrutiny. A few essays aren't even about food. One follows the author's south-of-the-border search for phen-fen; another contemplates New York City's "reservation rat race." Recipes-and only Steingarten could add humor to the form-appear throughout. Devoted readers will savor this collection (many of the essays have won awards from the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Culinary Professionals); those unfamiliar with the author will be clamoring for more.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Fast becoming a star among contemporary food writers, Steingarten returns with another compilation of his columns from Vogue. Steingarten's breakneck tour through the world of unlimited consumption takes him aboard a tuna boat to find the source of his favorite sushi selection, raw fatty bluefin. The reader benefits from Steingarten's thorough research into the murky history and spreading popularity of sushi. In another personal encounter, Steingarten takes issue with a government ban on a popular diet drug that had helped him maintain his gluttonous intake volume and still lose weight. He debunks current outrageous claims for the superiority of tony, expensive sea salts over the everyday blue-box variety. Steingarten watches a pig butchered in France and explores the origins of the outrageously complex Cajun dish, turducken. Ever on the lookout to skewer others' pretentious food allergy claims, he calls into doubt claims of MSG sensitivities. Despite his silly New York disdain for the Midwestern heartland, Steingarten casts useful illumination on many hitherto dim areas of our fascination with food. Mark Knoblauch

I hate to say this, but girls are desperate, and its not just lack of self confidence, it truly is being fed up with all the good guys out there in the world not asking them out.
I hate to admit it, but I have even fallen victim to this concept. I am a virgin, but I was so fed up with guys not asking me out because I am not easy, so I gave away my first real physical relationship to a jerk. Mostly because he was there, and I was tired of all the other guys in the world being intimidated by me. I am pretty, and I am smart but there is something so alluring about a relationship in a girls eyes. We all want to be loved. We all want to have passionate sex, but we don't want to wait. Its hard waiting, especially when there are plenty of boys out there who would be happy to make a move. Its our choice, really. There is so much information in this world, that we can't blame it on ignorance anymore. We aren't ignorant we just make choices, to feel some fake connection for one night, that will essentially run out what ever trust we built up in the male gender.
There is no easy way to say it but we do what we do, because we are raise in a society with subjective morals, that enables you to make mistakes by taking away the consequences. Now I know that you are for sex before marriage, I'm not mostly because you can be turned on by anyone even if you aren't attracted to you ( I know its happened). So I am a firm believer that a girl (or boy) shouldn't have sex until marriage. Not just because of emotional baggage, but all of the physical consequences that our society likes to deprive its people of. The information is out there we just choose to ignore it. For instance STDs, pregnancy these things are often covered up by people who want it to be your choice, and we should all understand what is right for you may not be what is right for me. If this is true, then why are there so many guys out there asking the exact same question you are.
It makes no logical sense why I fell into that loop, or why people want to go around having sex with each other on a first date. I know marriage seems to be a thing of the past, but I wouldn't want to give all I have to give to a guy, just so he can leave me, give me an STD, possibly cheat on me, or compare to another girl he has slept with. Its degrading, but some girls are already just objects, so I don't think its a problem for them, because it is all they have experience in.
