Former coach coach Jim Caldwell.
- Filed Under
Jim Caldwell celebrated his 56th birthday on Monday but he isn't likely to remember it fondly. He has been terminated as the Indianapolis Colts head coach the team confirmed this afternoon.
Caldwell and his coaching staff have been in limbo since Jan. 2, when owner Jim Irsay fired club vice chairman Bill Polian and vice president/general manager Chris Polian and launched a search that resulted in the hiring of Ryan Grigson as general manager last Wednesday.
The decision on Caldwell was reached jointly by Irsay and Grigson. ...

From then, we have worked with Jay, his project management, space planning and installation teams. They are all service oriented, customer focused individuals that can be counted upon. Our specific installation went extremely smoothly, and the install team handled logistics, coordination and scheduling with building management and resources diligently. All of the installers were considerate and very careful with loading, unloading and handling of the furniture. A finishing crew with an eye for detail was very attentive and exceeded my expectations for even miniscule items that were unnoticeable.
We were very pleased with the end product and will engage Arnolds again in the very near future for a space we recently acquired in Miami. I recently had a conversation with some of our board members and actually mentioned that we would never pursue acquisition of new furniture since we've found an alternate solution that provides equal to new appearance at a 70% differential. In summary, I would highly recommend Jay and his team.
One more detail: there were several times that I sent correspondence to Jay well past midnight, and on every one of those occasions received an immediate response within a couple of minutes. That was impressive!

I had also taken the time to check around, and your prices were really attractive, especially considering the top-line manufacturers you carry. The furniture I bought at your store could easily have cost me double elsewhere, and quotations I obtained at similar prices as yours offered far lower quality and features. I had thought your location wouldn't be convenient, but in fact it was easy to find.
I plan to return to your store as my company expands and I need additional furniture, and I would happily recommend your store to anyone. Thanks again for the great service. Good luck to you and your team. With best regards,
Very truly yours,
Howard Brod Brownstein / President, Brownstein Corporation
Ryan: your responsiveness and patience with our many requests for CAD drawings was very much appreciated and enabled us to pick furniture that is a perfect fit for the large, awkwardly shaped office.
Kate: the delivery team was wonderful and accommodating. We sprung on you the possibility of a last-minute second delivery to another location and we very much appreciated the willingness to accommodate that request, if necessary. The delivery men were careful with the installation and very patient with us. First, we practically hovered over them as they installed the furniture because we were so eager to see if it would look good in the space. Then we couldn't decide which of the two tables we had purchased worked best as a conference table in the executive office. We were literally calling in all of our colleagues to look at both tables and vote on which worked best in the space. All the while the clock was ticking away and even though the delivery men had a long drive back to Pennsylvania they were nothing but patient and professional. In the end, we opted to use the rectangular table instead of the round one because it matched the desk so well.
Thanks again for all of your assistance. The furniture looks fantastic, is high quality and it was a great value. None of our colleagues can believe it is used!
Best regards,

Written with Megan Hughes
The U.S. Postal Service Inspector General's office is looking at disruptive technologies to bolster the finances of the nation's ailing post offices. The latest idea? Jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon.
Possibilities include putting Bitcoin ATMs in some of the 35,000 post offices around the country or offering electronic wallets – either virtual or physical – where people could store their Bitcoins. The agency wouldn't be involved in the technical side of Bitcoin, yet could be a brick-and-mortar stop for the authentication or redemption of the virtual currenci.
In many ways this idea makes sense: USPS already offers several financial products, including money orders (they have 70 percent of the domestic market), prepaid debit cards and an electronic money transfer service to nine Latin American countries called Dinero Seguro, which means secure money.
They also have the trust of the public. A 2013 report by The Ponemon Institute ranks USPS as the fourth most-trusted company when it comes to privacy. And trust could be key when it comes to Bitcoin.
The Post Office also can reach communities under-served by banks. Because of its universal service mandate, 38 percent of post offices are in zip codes that have no bank branches. Those could provide valuable new customers in order for a currency to go mainstream.
But can a currency still in its infancy save a Postal Service teetering on the edge? Since 2006, USPS has lost $41 billion and is approaching its debt ceiling of $15 billion.
Researchers from the USPS IG's office say implementing a plan for its role in virtual currencies would be at least three years away and questions abound.
Would it need congressional approval? While the law doesn't specify any authority regarding virtual currencies, the argument could be made that these are ancillary to their existing financial services offerings, according to the researchers. Any plan would, however, have to be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
Perhaps the biggest question the researchers will need to answer: Does it make economic sense for the Postal Service to get involved? R
Researchers admit at this point that they don't have an estimate of how much the market would allow them to charge for these services, or whether the mainstream market will be there at all. Even if it is, part of the appeal of Bitcoin for many is the lack of transaction fees. On the other hand, perhaps Bitcoin users would be willing to pay for the ease, convenience and trust of their local post office.

Three Ways to a Lenten Fast
What are you giving up for Lent?
A few weeks ago I stared at my computer as a Facebook status altered my perception of reality. "Three weeks until Lent," it said. "Three weeks," I thought, "and I have no idea what I'm doing!" Soon after, I began to hear murmurs among my fellow church members. "What are you giving up?" asked one. "What are you doing for Lent?" asked another. I even heard a long list of Lenten sacrifices read off by a family friend: "Cold showers, sleeping on the floor once a week, doing some type of service each week..." This was followed by a discussion of how many sacrifices were okay to give up and when it became too much to actually be able to follow.
Whew. Just by writing the above I feel a little stressed out. I'm sure you do, too. Thankfully, you can look no further than the three bullet points below to help you take control of your Lenten fast.
1. Allow yourself to be a beginner.
We can quickly get into "What is the biggest sacrifice I can make?" or "What's going to get me to heaven the quickest?"
While this realm of thought leads you towards sacrifice or mortification, it leaves out the aspect of virtue. Verso L'Alto (Towards the top) is an expression commonly linked to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. He scribbled this phrase on the back of a photo of him climbing a mountain one month before his death. This photo documents the last thing he climbed, and the joy on his face gives the phrase even more depth. He constantly strived to reach the summit of eternal life, to climb towards the top. His sacrifice to climb included growing in virtue. Virtue for Frassati didn't mean taking the biggest step possible to get up the mountain faster. He started out as a beginner, taking one step at a time and building up his stamina to go further. Frassati's small steps changed his ways to God's ways. Meditate on the climb, and focus on one thing. What will bring you towards virtue and help you climb the mountain? What is the first step? He rewards even our smallest efforts.
2. You've got a friend in me.
Frassati didn't climb alone. It's documented that not only did he climb with others, he kept tabs on them throughout the climb. If someone was struggling, he would attract attention to himself so as not to embarrass or point out his struggling companion. He would say that he needed to take a rest or needed to go slower. During the climb he would give his friends things to focus on as well, such as a song or an invitation to prayer. Like Frassati and his friends, look for a good friend or family member for accountability during Lent. They can check in on how you're doing, help you overcome the moments when you just want to give up, and likewise they need your help as well!
3. Embrace the journey.
It's Friday and you just ate those Chik-fil-a nuggets. You remember at the last bite and almost choke when realizing. Allow yourself to be okay with failing. A little stumbling during the climb happens. Frassati wasn't always successful at climbing. It took time, muscle building, and practice to perfect the sport. Like Frassati many saints have tried, failed, suffered, tried again, and suffered some more to reach perfection: heaven. They figured out a way to get to the top of the mountain by being completely enamored by Christ. They loved him so much that they pushed their bodies, minds, and wills past their limits. Through time, with effort, and with God's will they successfully made it. However, it was matched with great suffering. We follow their lead and embrace their steps. Instead of looking at the fast as something ridiculously painful, look at it as an embrace. A time to express our mad love to the big man upstairs. Forty days prepare us for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior... so what are we waiting for? Wipe the sweat off those hands and get started! Verso L'Alto!

I hate Japanese high humidity and high temperature from May to October for a long time.
At 1989,Japan's temp suddenly rise up 3-4 degee.
Except for a certain type of Japanese,No one likes Japanese summer season in the world.
I hate sweat especially.
Thanks Aaaa. It is the humidity. It makes sense. You make me understand why Japanese women hate white men because their armpits smell bad. ... It is not the men's fault after all. It is the humidity ... perhaps the cheese, too.
In a rich country like Japan, white men are not a brand at all, in stark contrast with the situation in some poorer Southeast Asian countries.
It's not the stink but the totality that repels women. haha
Though I'm Japanese man,but I don't feel stink from White men.
Certain type of East Asian women or men say on purpose, that you would feel the person is sick.
I apologize on behalf of the Japanese foreigners when it becomes a bad mood on this issue.
I also strong dislike humidity of Japan.
It makes people fool and sick.
There is nothing that generation can do to make them look cool. They're joking Japan to death.
Hatoyama killed me with his quirky multi-colored outfit.
Japan Real Time is a newsy, concise guide to what works, what doesn't and why in the one-time poster child for Asian development, as it struggles to keep pace with faster-growing neighbors while competing with Europe for Michelin-rated restaurants.

The Alliance Defense Fund on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit against a school district in Nederland, Texas, after instructors told a third-grader he couldn't distribute handwritten invitations to his Bible club before class.
The child, who attends Hillcrest Elementary School, had permission from his teacher to invite classmates to his church's AWANA club, so long as he invited all of them; school policy requires it so that no students feel excluded. The student agreed, though he specifically wanted to invite only two of his classmates.
But the same teacher later stopped the student from passing out the invitations before class, explaining to the child's father that the district superintendent had told the principal to stop it. Under school policy, the principal must review any invitations to 10 or more students before they can be distributed; however, invitations to off-campus events like birthday parties have been allowed to proceed unimpeded.
"All students should have the freedom to express their beliefs," Alliance Defense Fund Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco said. "Schools shouldn't marginalize students who want to do good because of their faith. The school district can avoid needless litigation by simply respecting this third-grader's constitutionally protected right to hand invitations to his fellow classmates during non-instructional time, as other students have been allowed to do."

Cheyenne Bishop Named to Green Bay
| 2266 hits
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin, JULY 9, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI has named the bishop of Cheyenne, Wyoming, a former member of the Vatican Congregation for Clergy, as the bishop of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Bishop David Ricken, 55, will take possession of his new diocese at the end of August.
David Ricken was born in 1952 in Kansas. He was ordained a priest in 1980 for the Diocese of Pueblo, Colorado. He served in the Vatican from 1996 to 1999 and was then ordained bishop of Cheyenne.
He succeeds Bishop David Zubik, who was moved to Pittsburgh a year ago. Since last September, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has been this diocese's apostolic administrator.
The Diocese of Green Bay has some 350,000 Catholics in 160 parishes served by about 300 diocesan and religious priests.

Texans describe horror of train striking flatbed carrying wounded veterans
MIDLAND, Texas — Cheered on by a flag-waving crowd, a parade float filled with wounded veterans and their spouses was inching across a railroad track when the crossing gates began to lower and a freight train that seemed to come out of nowhere was suddenly bearing down on them, its horn blaring.
Some of those seated on the float jumped off in wide-eyed terror just moments before the train crashed into the flatbed truck with a low whoosh and a thunderous crack.
Four veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan — including an Army sergeant who apparently sacrificed his life to save his wife — were killed Thursday afternoon and 16 people were injured in a scene of both tragedy and heroism.
For some of the veterans who managed to jump clear of the wreck, training and battlefield instinct instantly kicked in, and they rushed to help the injured, applying tourniquets and putting pressure on wounds.
"They are trained for tragedy," said Pam Shoemaker of Monroe, La., who was with her husband, a special operations veteran, on a float ahead of the one that was hit.
A day after the crash, federal investigators were trying to determine how fast the train was going and whether the two-float parade had been given enough warning to clear the tracks.
And locals were struggling to cope with a tragedy at the start of what was supposed to be a three-day weekend of banquets, deer hunting and shopping in appreciation of the veterans' sacrifice.
"It's just a very tragic and sad thing," said Michael McKinney of Show of Support, the local charity that organizes the annual event and invited the two dozen veterans. "It's difficult when you're trying to do something really good and something tragic occurs."
National Transportation Safety Board member Mark Rosekind, standing near the intersection in downtown Midland where the crash took place, offered hope Friday that video would provide a fuller picture of what happened. Cameras were on both the lead car of the Union Pacific train and a sheriff's vehicle that was trailing the flatbed truck, Rosekind said.
Killed were Marine Chief Warrant Officer 3 Gary Stouffer, 37; Army Sgt. Maj. Lawrence Boivin, 47; Army Sgt. Joshua Michael, 34; and Army Sgt. Maj. William Lubbers, 43. One veteran and three spouses remained hospitalized Friday, with one spouse in critical condition.
At the time of the crash, the veterans were on their way to a banquet in their honor.
Shoemaker said the flatbed truck she was riding on had just crossed the tracks and was moving slowly when she heard a train coming and looked back to see the lowered crossing gates bouncing up and down on the people seated on the float behind her.
Witnesses described people screaming as the warning bells at the crossing went off and the train blasted its horn.
Daniel Quinonez, who was waiting in his vehicle as the parade went by, said the float on the tracks could not go anywhere because of the one right in front of it.
"It was a horrible accident to watch happen right in front of me," he said. "I just saw the people on the semi-truck's trailer panic, and many started to jump off the trailer. But it was too late for many of them."
Another witness, Joe Cobarobio, said only a few seconds elapsed between the time the crossing gates came down and the train slammed into the flatbed truck with a "giant cracking sound."
Michael, one of the soldiers killed, pushed his wife off the float when he saw the train coming, his wife told Cory Rogers, a friend of the couple.
"His first instinct was to get her out of harm's way," said Rogers, who was not at the parade. "That's the kind of man he was, and I feel like it was his training as a paramedic and then as a soldier, choosing to put someone's life before your own."

Lawrenceville Funeral Homes
Lawrenceville is also known as: Lawrence County / Lawrenceville city.
The city is home of the Lawrenceville "Indians", Illinois Class A high school state basketball champions in 1972, 1974, and back-to-back in 1982 and 1983, which had a combined two season win-loss record of 68-0.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) - A top State Department diplomat says "it's only a matter of time now" before besieged Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has to step down.
Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman says "I think what's clear is that the rebels are winning." He says U.S. officials don't know Gadhafi's whereabouts.
Interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday from Cairo, Feltman says "the rebels are clearly taking over the city. They are clearly taking over the institutions." He says American officials have been told the rebels have seized control of Libya's state television.
Asked whether he believes the al Qaida terrorist network will gain new footing in Libya, Feltman says the first step in a post-Gadhafi setting is "trying to prevent some kind of cycle where people act out their own retributions," as happened when Saddam Hussein fell in Iraq.
President Barack Obama says it's time for Moammar Gadhafi to recognize that his rule over Libya has come to an end and he should relinquish power to stop the violence and bloodshed of six months of civil war aimed at toppling his autocratic regime.
"The future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people," Obama said Sunday in a statement from Martha's Vineyard, where he's vacationing with his family. The U.S. says it will work closely with the rebels.
After a day of dramatic developments, Obama said the situation in Libya had reached a "tipping point" and control of the capital was "slipping from the grasp of a tyrant."
"The surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple: Moammar Gadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end," Obama said. "Gadhafi needs to acknowledge the reality that he no longer controls Libya. He needs to relinquish power once and for all." Obama issued the statement after conducting a conference call with members of his national security team, who had provided him with updates throughout the day.
Libyan rebels who raced into Tripoli on Sunday met little resistance as Gadhafi's defenders melted away and his 42-year authoritarian rule quickly crumbled. Euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in Green Square, the symbolic heart of the fading regime. Gadhafi's whereabouts were unknown, though state TV broadcast his bitter pleas for Libyans to defend his regime.
Opposition fighters captured his son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, who along with his father faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. Another son was in contact with rebels about surrendering, the opposition said.
"Tonight, the momentum against the Gadhafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant," Obama said in the statement. "The Gadhafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator."
The United States has joined other countries in recognizing the rebel forces, the Transitional National Council, as the legitimate government in Libya.
Obama called on the rebels "at this pivotal and historic time" to demonstrate the leadership needed to steer the country through a transition by respecting the rights of the Libyan people, avoiding civilian casualties, protecting state institutions and pursuing a transition to democracy that is "just and inclusive" for all of the country's people.
Obama said the U.S. would remain in close contact with the TNC and work with its allies and partners around the world to protect the Libyan people and support a peaceful shift to democracy.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta were also kept updated throughout the day, officials said.
Associated Press writers Mark S. Smith and Erica Werner in Vineyard Haven, Mass., and Matthew Lee and Lolita C. Baldor in Washington contributed to this report.

Toxic Waste To Be Removed From Surf City Dumpsite in 2015, Report Says
Categories: Environment
Two years ago, long-promised cleanup efforts finally started, and according to the Orange County Register, 70,000 tons of waste has already been removed. But those efforts stalled, and according to a recent update from the California Dept. of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the rest of all that toxic goo won't get sucked out of the lagoons and carted off-site until 2015 at the earliest.
When I first wrote about Ascon Nesi's death lagoons back in February 1998--I'd include a link to the story but this was just before we started publishing online--all that protected the public from their slimy depths was a broken chain-link fence and a couple of discarded "No Tresspassing" signs. Within days of the publication of the article, which ran complete with photographs of dead pelicans protruding from tarpits and fields of rusting barrels, the fence had been fixed and the signs replaced. But still the sludge remained.
According to the DTSC, the agency is still not sure exactly how much waste will ultimately be removed as opposed to simply buried onsite. The agency has proposed a series of community meetings to discuss these plans as part of its environmental impact review, but none have been scheduled yet. Ironically, when cleanup efforts were first proposed in the early 1990s, many neighbors complained that they only wanted the dumpsite cleaned up if the location wouldn't be used to build more houses. Toxins sure beats traffic!

all of the coins had the word "liberty" written on them. On
the chart paper, write the word "same" at the top of the left
side of the paper. Underneath, write "all say liberty". Tell
the children that you also want them to find ways in which the coins are
different. As an example, explain that you noticed the coins each have
different dates on them. Write "different" at the top of the
right column. Below, write "all have different numbers". Explain
to the children that as they are working, they should share their discoveries
with others in their small groups. Tell the children to "Go!"

children explore for a little while. Then, ask them if anyone found something
that was the same about all three of the coins. Continue with things that
are the same, then ask about differences. Write the children's responses
on the chart paper.

own chart of things that are the same and different about the coins. They
can write things from the class list or they can write other things that
they discovered.

Ask for seven volunteers to come up in front of the class. Pass out pennies
and nickels in a random order to the children. Ask the rest of the class
to find the sum of the coins. Ask the children if they could think of
an easier way to count the coins? Direct their discussion so that they
try their different ideas, but ultimately group the nickels together,
followed by the pennies.
Ask for a different group of volunteers and repeat this process, gradually
adding the dimes.
One variation
of this activity Is to have the children record the counting patterns

Re: Movies Seen in 2009
I've only seen two movies in the theatre this year:
Star Trek
On DVD, I've seen quite a few - probably close to 100 films. Most of them were classic (pre-1965) films however, so I won't bother typing them out as most people around here don't know and don't care about them. I'll just say that I watched alot of Paul Newman pictures this year (for obvious reasons), alot of Tyrone Power pictures (he had a huge boxed set of films come out this past year), alot of Truffaut films (got on a kick), alot of John Mills films (tons came out in the UK this past year as it was his centennial birthday), alot of Dirk Bogarde films (another kick), and several Sean Connery films (he was Star of the Month for May on TCM).
"Modern" movies I've seen this year on DVD:
Underworld: Evolution
(looking at
's avatar every day for about 4 years FINALLY broke me down
The Reader
P.S. I Love You
The White Countess
Support Your Local Sheriff
(could be classified as classic film though since it's 1968)
There are probably a few others, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
on DVD - Now 99.923% Borg-Free!
Star Trek XI

In A Nutshell: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is requesting
input from the science and engineering community on their new strategic
plan for fiscal years 2006 through 2011. A letter from director Arden
Bement and deputy director Kathie Olsen is copied below. All comments
must be received by January 20, 2006 through a specific web site form
also given below. Please consider NSF's current plan, NSF's future
plans, the needs of the Earth science community and the needs of the
entire federal science program. Information about federal funds allocated
for NSF and other geoscience-related federal science programs is available
at AGI's Government Affairs (appropriations summaries are given by
agency) at http://www.agiweb.org/gap/issues/alphalist.html#approps.
Information about funding levels for all federally funded R&D
for all science fields is available from AAAS at http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/fy06.htm.
Text of letter to community from Arden Bement and Kathie Olsen.
"The National Science Foundation is asking for your input at
the start of the process to draft the next NSF Strategic Plan. Feedback
from the science and engineering community is very important and views
from the community will be incorporated into the new plan. The current
plan (www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf04201)
is meant to guide NSF and stakeholders in a way that is responsive
to the science and engineering community that we serve. The Strategic
Plan for FY 2006-2011 will continue to do this through communicating
NSFs strategic goals, objectives, priorities and strategies
over this time period. To meet the requirements of the Government
Performance and Results Act, the plan will also discuss the relationship
of this entire framework to annual performance goals in the NSF budget.
The Strategic Plan will be consistent with the priorities and strategies
being drafted in the National Science Board 2020 Vision for the National
Science Foundation.
Your comments are requested by January 20, 2006 through the website
at www.nsf.gov/about/performance/input.cfm.
In particular, NSF requests comments on the following questions to
assist us in developing the new plan: Does NSFs current Strategic
Plan effectively communicate NSFs roles and responsibilities
as part of the science and engineering (S&E) community? If not,
what is lacking and how can the next plan be improved? What broad
characteristics of the near- and long-term environment for S&E
research and education should NSF consider and address in its next
Strategic Plan? In addition to direct community input, the NSF Advisory
Committees will provide guidance throughout the process. There will
be another opportunity for direct community input once a draft plan
is completed. The final version of the Strategic Plan must be sent
to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget by September 30,
2006. Your assistance in this very important task is appreciated."

MapWorks Learning combines OER and open data to protect threatened biodiversity
Mangrove forests have been described by the World Wildlife Fund as one of the world's most threatened tropical ecosystems. In an effort to protect and raise awareness around this problem, MapWorks Learning launched the first of what they plan to make an annual Mapathon for ecological preservation and learning. The inaugural event engaged schools, universities, and environmental groups around the world to document the health and well being of mangrove populations using the Mapping the Mangroves tool.
The Mapping the Mangroves (MTM) toolkit is a project originally funded by Qatar Foundation International, and is now a keystone project of MapWorks Learning. MTM uses a mapping application built on the open source Ushahidi software platform, relying on crowdsourcing to collect geographic and descriptive data about mangrove forests. The project's reporting system allows anyone to submit a report about mangrove forests, describing the area's biodiversity and pairing it with geographic coordinates and other sensor data. The data are then displayed on an interactive map on the project's homepage, with all reports searchable and explorable by geographic region and other habitat or report traits. The data are freely available for download and licensed under a CC0 Public Domain Dedication, too.
The MTM project is supporting the development of OER curriculum introducing learners to mangrove forest ecosystems, basic species identification, and explaining how they can take part in the monitoring and protection of forests around the world. The toolkit's learning material is available under a CC BY-NC-ND license on OER Commons.
To find out more about MapWorks Learning and their upcoming Mapathons see mapworkslearning.org, visit them on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.

The Open Society Foundations encourage grantees to use CC licenses
The Open Society Foundations (OSF) have adopted a new copyright policy that encourages its grantees to release their outputs under CC licenses. The OSF have long been releasing their own work products under a CC BY-NC-ND license, but now they have introduced a new clause to encourage OSF grantees to do the same:
"We believe that OSF's mission is enhanced when our grantees' Work Product is also made widely available to the public, with appropriate protection of legitimate interests. To that end, OSF is introducing a new clause into its grant agreements, whereby our grantees must advise OSF whether or not they will broadly license all Work Product created with OSF funds using a Creative Commons license, or otherwise."
The Public Health Program, Information Program and Media Program are piloting this new policy with their grantees this year. For more information, read the OSF copyright policy.
For more information about funder policies and Creative Commons licenses, see our wiki.1 Comment »
Amazon #1 Bestseller, "Machine of Death," goes Creative Commons
It's happened before with music albums, where releasing work openly online did not hurt actual sales of the product. The authors of Machine of Death clearly get this. They explain why the science fiction anthology of stories about people who know the manner by which they die (but have no idea when), has been made available online under CC BY-NC-ND:
Why are we doing this? Aren't we worried about hurting our book sales?
In a word: no. You have proven time and again that you are willing to pay for content that you find valuable. You have shown that you are driven to share material that you fall in love with. And we are committed to ensuring that you can experience our work whether you can afford to buy a book or not; whether you live in a country that Amazon ships to or not; whether you have space in your life for a stack of paper or not.
Please, download, read, share and enjoy!
In addition, some of the individual stories are released under the CC BY-NC-SA license, which allows you to translate and adapt the work as long as you abide by the noncommercial condition and release the derivative under the same license. Podcasts are also being created for all the stories, with three stories up so far.
As of right now, Machine of Death is the #1 bestselling science fiction anthology on Amazon, and has also made their Best Books of 2010 list. For more information, see Boing Boing and the Machine of Death website.3 Comments »
In "The New Sharing Economy" CC is the norm
At the beginning of summer, many of you told us how much you share in a survey for Shareable Magazine. The results of that survey have been translated into a study of "The New Sharing Economy" by Shareable and Latitude Research. Visually, the study features nifty diagrams depicting what we share the most and how sharing has evolved over time. Substantively, "The New Sharing Economy" reveals some encouraging trends, such as that sharing in the virtual world makes people more comfortable with the idea of sharing in the physical world (in fact everyone in the study who shared online also shared offline), and that most of these people believe they will partake in even greater corporeal sharing in the next five years.
But the most encouraging trend the study revealed was that Creative Commons is playing a huge infrastructural role in this new sharing economy—that CC is, in fact, daily saving the world from failed sharing:
"Of those who share information and media online, approximately 2 in 3
participants use other people's creations licensed under Creative Commons."
The benefits of Creative Commons are often difficult to see, as a functioning system is only ever noticed when it fails. But as sharing only increases over time, both on- and offline, you can be sure that CC superheroes are at work behind the scenes slashing through the red tape, identifying and fixing the bugs, opening closed systems, implementing better policies, educating the public, and generally making sure things are running smoothly so that the web can continue to grow. Because the majority of study participants also connected sharing with being "better for the environment," "saving money," and being "good for society"—all stuff which, it turns out, CC is quietly helping us to do.
The study is available under CC BY-NC-ND. To learn more, check out Shareable's post, and please consider joining us in the fight for openness and innovation.Comments Off on In "The New Sharing Economy" CC is the norm
Livestream of TEDxNYED this Saturday
The event I blogged about in December, TEDxNYED, is happening this Saturday, March 6, in New York City. TEDxNYED is "an all-day conference dedicated to examining the intersection of education, new media, and technology." For those of you who can't attend, the conference will be livestreamed from 10am EST to 6pm EST at http://tedxnyed.com.
The speaker line-up includes our own Larry Lessig (founder and board member of CC), Michael Wesch (a cultural anthropologist who created those awesome YouTube videos like "Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us"), Neeru Khosla (Co-founder of the CK12 Foundation that submitted seven open textbooks to California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative), and David Wiley (big thinker in open education and associate professor of Instructional Psychology and Technology at BYU).
Along with Whipple Hill and others, Creative Commons is one of TEDxNYED's sponsors, and we will be hosting a table at the event to network with conference attendees.

You've all heard of the TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design), the annual meeting of great minds with amazing 20 minute speeches that share what they've been doing with their lives. But not all of you may have heard of TEDx—spinoffs off TED that are independently organized around a central theme or idea.
TEDxNYED is one of those spinoffs—"an all-day conference dedicated to examining the intersection of education, new media, and technology, will take place on March 6, 2010 in New York City." The speaker line-up includes our own Larry Lessig (founder and board member of CC), Michael Wesch (a cultural anthropologist who created those awesome YouTube videos like "Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us"), Neeru Khosla (Co-founder of the CK12 Foundation that submitted seven open textbooks to California's Free Digital Textbook Initiative), and David Wiley (big thinker in open education and associate professor of Instructional Psychology and Technology at BYU).
CC Learn is partnering with TEDxNYED and Whipple Hill to help with this amazing event. With currently 300 or so people expected to attend, space is limited, so please apply if you would like to join. "TEDx NYED is particularly seeking applicants who work in and around education and who are dedicated to reforming schools from the inside-out as well as outside-in. Those interested in attending should apply at http://tedxnyed.com/apply."
From the press release,
"TED is an annual event where some of the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited
to share what they are most passionate about. "TED" stands for Technology,
Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our
future… The diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists — is
almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane
Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.
At the TEDx NYED event, live speakers, two Ted Talks videos, and networking
sessions will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The
TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx
events, including ours, are self-organized."

Al Jazeera Blogs Go CC
Al Jazeera has just launched the latest of its online project called Al Jazeera Blogs.
The website features blog posts written by prominent journalists and correspondents from the global Al Jazeera television network. It also hosts several sub-blogs sections divided by geographical areas, such as the Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition, Al Jazeera has a blog focused on international business and the ongoing financial crisis.
The project also features interesting tech extras such as integration with OpenCalais' semantic tagging system.
Credit once again goes to Al Jazeera English's Head of Online, Mohamed Nanabhay. Mohamed also happens to be the author of the first commoner letter for this year's annual campaign, and was one of the key players who made Al Jazeera's amazing CC repository a reality.1 Comment »
Jonathan Lethem's CC Licensed Philip K. Dick Essay
Notable Brooklyn author Jonathan Lethem (Fortress of Solitude, Motherless Brooklyn, You Don't Love Me Yet among others) just released an essay titled "Crazy Friend" (PDF download) under a CC BY-NC-ND license. The story is a fantastic read in and of itself, but we're doubly excited that its CC licensed.
Here's io9's summary:
The essay, called "Crazy Friend," is a winding, mildly obsessive tale of how Dick's stories guided Lethem out of childhood, into a turbulent adolescence, and at last settled him in a career as a critically-acclaimed writer. He begins by talking about his boyhood relationship with two cool older girls who didn't get why he thought Dick's writing was so important, and ends by introducing us to Lethem's life as a Dick fanboy and showing us snippets of his early writing about Dick (some interesting stuff). Ultimately, Lethem says, Dick is the archetypal "crazy friend" whom we've all known. And whom we all love.
Lethem has a new book coming out on October 13th called Chronic City and he'll be doing an epic reading of the entire book around NYC city book stores starting October 16th.Comments Off on Jonathan Lethem's CC Licensed Philip K. Dick Essay
TED Fellowships Deadline
I blogged about the past year's fellows in February, and now the deadline for 2010 is approaching next week. For those who don't know what TED is, I'll quote myself,
"TED stands for "Technology, Entertainment, Design" and their talks are given annually at the TED conference in Long Beach, CA. 50 speakers give "talks" or 18 minute speeches about a variety of issues, including "science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world." (Past speakers include Al Gore, our own Lawrence Lessig, and Jill Bolt Taylor—a brain researcher who describes the stroke she suffers in exhilarating fashion, to name a few.)
Now, with the new TED fellows program, extraordinary people you may not have heard of yet (without the $6,000 to pay for standard admission to the conference) can give talks, too."
To apply for a fellowship, go to their website and follow the instructions there. The deadline for all applicants is noon (EST), September 25. It's eighteen minutes of exposure to talk about anything you want; you could very well be that spokesperson for your cause. All TED talks are licensed CC BY NC-ND.Comments Off on TED Fellowships Deadline

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Most callers seeking help with unemployment benefits are unable to reach an employee of California's Employment Development Department on any given day.
The Los Angeles Times reports Tuesday that as many as 90 percent of daily callers seeking information about missed payments or unprocessed claims are instead routed to the department's website or an automated self-service phone number.
The customer service crisis is continuing four months after the bungled debut of an upgraded computer system that delayed payments to about 150,000 people.
The department began processing some claims by hand and reassigned employees from phone lines to speed up that effort.
An Employment Development Department spokeswoman says deep budget cuts have hindered the staffing of phones.

Guard of honour at Apple store in Cambridge for first customers buying new iPhone 5s
Posted: September 20, 2013|
Hundreds of people queued for hours outside Cambridge's Apple store to be among the first to get the new iPhone.
Cheers erupted as the shutters went up at the Grand Arcade shop to welcome in the "Apple freaks", who were given a guard of honour and high fives by staff.
They were queuing to get their hands on Apple's latest iPhone model, the 5S, which comes with a fingerprint scanner, as well as the 5C, which has been billed as the technology company's first departure from premium phones.
Charlene Ramdhanie, a banker from Trinidad & Tobago, was the first through the doors of the shop at 8am.
She said she had been queuing since 5.30am and had managed to get the prime spot because of a "reconnaissance mission" to find the best Grand Arcade gate to wait outside.
The 34-year-old, who is training in Cambridge, said: "I was told by my boyfriend if you don't come back with an iPhone 5S don't come back at all. By the time I was there I thought I might as well get one for me as well.
"I have looked at these people on TV queuing and thought what possesses them to do this. I never thought I would be one."
Simeom Eremim, a 17-year-old student at Abbey College in Cambridge, said: "Coming here is not just about the phone, it's about the experience. It's unique and there's a good atmosphere."
Jo Ovenden, from Saffron Walden, abandoned the queue when she was told there would be no more 5s models left for her.
She had taken the day off work and was trying to get one for her daughter's birthday, but was cynical about the hordes who had come out.
She said: "I think it's mad."
The 5S device, said to be twice as fast as its predecessor, is available through EE, O2, Three, Carphone Warehouse and Phones4u priced at £549 (16GB), £629 (32GB) and £709 (64GB).
The cheaper 5C has been available for pre-order and is priced at £469 (16GB) and £549 (32GB).
