Creative Commons' Russian affiliate Institute of the Information Society (IIS), in collaboration with the UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies, organized an international seminar and expert meeting on the 6th of December in Moscow. As the CC Regional Project Manager for Europe, I participated in the event together with representatives from Creative Commons in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
The seminar was attended by industry participants, organizations and representatives from Russian governments and federal agencies, including the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, Ministry of Education and Science, Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, Federal Antimonopoly Service, State Duma of the Russian Federation, Research Center of Private Law at the President of the RF and the Chamber of Commerce.
IIS legal experts have prepared an analytical report, Use of Creative Commons Licenses in the Russian Federation (pdf), which was presented at the seminar. It contains conclusions and recommendations for future activities aimed at introducing Creative Commons in Russia, including discussion of potential legislative changes aimed at enabling the licence locally. It also contains an annex with information and results from the CC Global Summit 2011 in Warsaw in September 2011.
Other sessions at the seminar included presentations by representatives of each of the CC jurisdiction teams present, as well as critiques of the CC licences by local academics and the local Wikimedia chapter, with much of the discussion focusing on 4.0. The day finished with a special UNESCO-hosted session on OER.
For Creative Commons, the seminar was an excellent starting point for our future work in Russia, and the participation of Creative Commons affiliates from the CIS countries shows that there is a clear interest in working together in the regions. As part of its work, IIS will now start providing input to the recently launched Version 4.0 process, as well as continuing its work to raise awareness of Creative Commons with Russian authorities.
It's very exciting to see this region grow; I'm very happy to see that there's now a discussion around the upcoming Version 4.0, its relevance for Russia and the possibility for Russia to participate in the shaping of this important license suite for sharing culture globally!Comments Off on Creative Commons at an International Seminar and Expert Meeting in Moscow
Report from the 2011 Annual Creative Commons board meeting
The Creative Commons Board of Directors held its annual board meeting on 9 December 2011. Board members appointed for additional terms were Glenn Brown (Director, Business Development, Media at Twitter), Prof. Michael Carroll (Director, Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property, Washington College of Law, American University), Davis Guggenheim (film director and producer), Esther Wojcicki (journalist and educator), and Annette Thomas (CEO of Macmillian Publishing). Officers for the coming year were also appointed: Catherine M. Casserly (President and CEO), Mike Linksvayer (Vice President), Diane Cabell (Secretary), Ted Rose (Treasurer), and Diane Peters (General Counsel).
Due to the expansion and geographical distribution of the Board members, it has become increasingly difficult to schedule meetings; therefore, a smaller Executive Committee has been established to convene on a more frequent basis and the quorum for full Board meetings was reduced. One of the Executive Committee's first agenda items will be a review of CC's new strategic plan.
To bring more expertise to the Board's activities, an Executive Advisory Council has also been formed that will be chaired by the CEO. The Council will include both Board members and non-Board members in order to acquire the strongest possible input for CC decision-making. The Council will also be able to establish Task Forces that can tap into the wider CC community to help address issues of specific interest.
The 2012 preliminary budget was also approved.Comments Off on Report from the 2011 Annual Creative Commons board meeting
Urgent: more action needed to stop SOPA
Update 12/16
The hearings are still going on; please keep calling, emailing, and otherwise spreading the word!
Tomorrow the House Judiciary Committee will debate and potentially vote on SOPA, the Internet Blacklist bill that would break the Internet.
Our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation have compiled a list of 12 actions you can take now to stop SOPA.
Do them.
Soon you'll find a huge banner at the top of every page on the CC site protesting SOPA. The Wikimedia community is considering a blackout to bring massive attention to the danger posed by SOPA. Many others are taking action. What are you doing?
For background on the bill, why it would be especially bad for the commons, and links for news, check out our previous post calling for action against SOPA and a detailed post from Wikimedia's General Counsel.
Finally, remember that CC is crucial to keeping the Internet non-broken in the long term. The more free culture is, the less culture has an allergy to and deathwish for the Internet. We need your help too. Thanks!3 Comments »
Apply for the 2012 Google Policy Fellowship with Creative Commons
We're happy to announce that for the fourth year Creative Commons will take part in the Google Policy Fellowship program. Submit your application by February 3, 2012.
The Google Policy Fellowship program offers undergraduate, graduate, and law students interested in Internet and technology policy the opportunity to spend the summer contributing to the public dialogue on these issues, and exploring future academic and professional interests. Fellows will have the opportunity to work at public interest organizations at the forefront of debates on broadband and access policy, content regulation, copyright and trademark reform, consumer privacy, open government, and more.
The 2012 Google Policy Fellow will receive a substantial grant to work at Creative Commons' office in Mountain View, California. We are looking for motivated candidates with partially-developed ideas in exploring a particular interest/expertise area, short research project, or related activity within the broad spectrum of open licensing and the commons. Past Google Policy Fellowship projects have included an analysis of the WIPO development agenda in relation to its effect on access to public domain materials, crucial research on the welfare impact of Creative Commons across various fields, and an investigation of the characterization of Creative Commons within U.S. legal scholarship over the past 10 years. We are very flexible in accommodating project ideas that will be mutually beneficial to the candidate and CC. We are interested in a wide range of activities, which could include conducting original research, researching and developing educational materials, or assisting in the development of activities/projects useful to our wide-ranging global community. Potential topics may include, but are certainly not limited to:
Encapsulated research within our CC contribution-study project. Examples include:
- Studying changing license adoption patterns in a specific community (can be quantitative, qualitative or comparative, with analysis depending on relevant applicant background)
- Studying changing license adoption patterns within a specific platform
- Studying the contribution of the platform in a specific context (applicant choice or our direction)
- Studying the contribution of the CC network in a specific context
- Studying CC's contribution to the movement (with or without a human rights perspective; along the lines of expanding creation/data contribution to otherwise "distant" communities/persons/places/domains)
- Studying CC's contribution to novel cultural fields
- For all the former: design DB (data gathering)
CC and the School of Open
- Help design challenges/courses around CC licenses, with a particular focus on how to certify and assess expertise on CC licenses and topics.
- Work would involve testing/evaluation with a user/creator community to measure effectiveness of courses.
- Develop documentation/case studies for different user/creator communities.
Research and development of CC related toolkits and guides

Public Discussion Launches for Version 4.0 of the CC Licenses
We are pleased to announce the beginning of the public discussion process that we expect to result in version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite. The 4.0 discussions held at the 2011 Global Summit confirmed for CC the need to commence the 4.0 discussion process now if we wish to consider issues relevant to important would-be adopters in a timely manner. As explained following legal sessions at the Summit, version 3.0 is working (and will continue to work) really well for many adopters, but the reality is different for others. Read more.
Stop [U.S.] American censorship of the Internet
The SOPA and Protect IP bills threaten every site on Internet, but would especially harm the commons. While standard public licenses like CC have lowered the costs and risks of legal sharing and collaboration, SOPA and Protect IP would drastically increase both the costs and risks of providing platforms for sharing and collaboration. Sites ranging from individual blogs to massive community projects such as Wikipedia to open education repositories to Flickr and YouTube could be in jeopardy if a single possibly infringing item causes an entire domain to be taken down. Read more.
We are thrilled to relay Wired.com's announcement that from now on all Wired.com staff-produced photos will be released under a CC Attribution-Noncommercial license (CC BY-NC)! Wired.com's Editor in Chief Evan Hansen says, "Creative Commons turns ten years old next year, and the simple idea of releasing content with "some rights reserved" has revolutionized online sharing and fueled a thriving remix culture. At Wired.com, we've benefited from CC-licensed photos for years — thank you sharers! Now we're going to start sharing ourselves." Read more.

Version 4.0 – Public Discussion Launches
We are pleased to announce the beginning of the public discussion process that we expect to result in version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite.
Timeliness and Opportunity
The 4.0 discussions held at the 2011 Global Summit confirmed for CC the need to commence the 4.0 discussion process now if we wish to consider issues relevant to important would-be adopters in a timely manner. As explained following legal sessions at the Summit, version 3.0 is working (and will continue to work) really well for many adopters, but the reality is different for others. The treatment of sui generis database rights in the 3.0 licenses continues to be a show-stopper for many, including governments in Europe. This fosters an environment in which custom licenses proliferate, inevitably resulting in silos of incompatibly-licensed content that cannot be maximally shared and remixed. But there exist still other reasons for pursuing 4.0 at this time, including the desire to adjust the licenses to more fully support adoption by intergovernmental organizations and those looking for a more internationally-oriented license suite.
The consequence of not addressing these challenges now is one of opportunity — bridging these differences sooner rather than later (where possible) is always advisable, especially if a more inclusive commons may result. For those fond of version 3.0, rest assured that CC will continue to support existing and future implementations and adopters that rely on those licenses. We will take pains not to create a 4.0 suite that undermines or otherwise presents challenges for those communities.
Process – Discussion Forum – 4.0 Wiki
Importantly, for the first time in CC's history we begin the versioning process without publishing a draft of the new licenses for review. This is intentional, and it is designed to ensure we hear from the community first. During this 2-3 month requirements gathering period, we urge everyone with a proposal, concern or other input to please put it forth, as our goal is to make the first draft as comprehensive as possible. We will alert the community when the requirements period draws to a close, expected to be mid-February 2012. As in the past, we will publish at least two drafts of the licenses before finalizing, which we anticipate will occur late 2012.
As with past versioning efforts, the central discussion forum will be CC's license discuss list (subscribe now). New to the 4.0 process, however, is a dedicated group of wiki pages (accessible through the main 4.0 wiki page) where topics and proposals under discussion on that email list will be documented, annotated, and evaluated. We have pre-populated the wiki pages with several of the issues we expect to address during this process, framing key topics to help shape the discussion and including known and anticipated proposals related to each. Among others, we expect healthy debates regarding the treatment of moral rights, the definition of NonCommercial, scope of ShareAlike, treatment of sui generis database rights, and much more. The issues are organized by topic with cross-references to related issues throughout the wiki, but there is also an open forum (the Sandbox page) where you should be encouraged to suggest other topics you feel are important to discuss for version 4.0 (a few placeholders already exist).
For a fuller description of CC's objectives, the process and expected schedule, visit the 4.0 wiki homepage.
We encourage everyone who is interested in the future of Creative Commons, and open licensing generally, to participate in this process. The more voices that chime in to raise issues and debate the merits of various proposals, the stronger version 4.0 will be, helping us achieve our goal of creating a set of robust licenses that will endure long into the future. If you have an opinion about how to simplify CC's attribution requirements, for example, or any of the other important issues we plan to examine during the process, please post your suggestion to the CC license discuss list (subscribe today) and add it to our 4.0 wiki. We look forward to hearing from you.
Support CC
The Version 4.0 process and many other activities are supported by contributions from our community. As a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools, Creative Commons has always relied on the generosity of both individuals and organizations to fund its ongoing operations. Please consider donating to our Annual Campaign, going on now. Thank you.1 Comment »
Safecast: Global sensor network collects and shares radiation data via CC0
INTERPOLATION MAP / Lionel Bergeret, Safecast / CC BY-NC
One week after the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Diachi plant in March, the Safecast project was born to respond to the information needs of Japanese citizens regarding radiation levels in their environment. Safecast, then known as RDTN.org, started a campaign on Kickstarter "to provide an aggregate feed of nuclear radiation data from governmental, non-governmental and citizen-scientist sources." All radiation data collected via the project would be dedicated to the public domain using CC0, "available to everyone, including scientists and nuclear experts who can provide context for lay people." Since then, more than 1.25 million data points have been collected and shared; Safecast has been featured on PBS Newshour; and the project aims to expand its scope to mapping the rest of the world.
"Safecast supports the idea that more data – freely available data – is better. Our goal is not to single out any individual source of data as untrustworthy, but rather to contribute to the existing measurement data and make it more robust. Multiple sources of data are always better and more accurate when aggregated.
While Japan and radiation is the primary focus of the moment, this work has made us aware of a need for more environmental data on a global level and the longterm work that Safecast engages in will address these needs. Safecast is based in the US but is currently focused on outreach efforts in Japan. Our team includes contributors from around the world."
To learn more, visit http://safecast.org. All raw data from the project is available for re-use via the CC0 public domain dedication, while other website content (such as photos and text) are available under CC BY-NC.Comments Off on Safecast: Global sensor network collects and shares radiation data via CC0
Europeana Licensing Framework published
Yesterday, Europeana — Europe's digital library, museum and archive, and the first major adopter of the Public Domain Mark for works in the worldwide public domain — published and made available The Europeana Licensing Framework using the CC0 public domain dedication. The licensing framework encompasses and is a follow-on to the recent Data Exchange Agreement that Europeana adopted in September, and which Europe's national librarians publicly supported weeks later.
In Europeana's own words, the licensing framework "underpins Europeana's Strategic Plan" for 2011-2015:
"The goal of the Europeana Licensing Framework is to standardize and harmonize rights-related information and practices. Its intention is to bring clarity to a complex area, and make transparent the relationship between the end-users and the institutions that provide data."
"Users need good and reliable information about what they may do with [content]. Whether they can freely re-use it for their educational, creative or even commercial projects or not. The Europeana Licensing Framework therefore asks data providers to provide structured rights information in the metadata they provide about the content that is accessible through Europeana. Doing so makes it easier for users to filter content by the different re-use options they have – by 'public domain', for example and hence easier for users to comply with licensing terms."
The framework supports re-use of data and content through CC legal tools (CC0 public domain dedication, the Public Domain Mark, and CC BY-SA), providing guidelines for their appropriate applications. Download the European Licensing Framework (pdf) or peruse the full set of resources at Europeana Connect.
Relatedly, see Europeana's white paper no. 2 published last month, The Problem of the Yellow Milkmaid: A Business Model Perspective on Open Metadata (pdf). The white paper "explore[s] in detail the risks and rewards of open data from different perspectives" after "extensive consultation with the heritage sector, including dozens of workshops." It opens:
1 Comment »
"'The Milkmaid', one of Johannes Vermeer's most famous pieces, depicts a scene of a woman quietly pouring milk into a bowl. During a survey the Rijksmuseum discovered that there were over 10,000 copies of the image on the internet—mostly poor, yellowish reproductions1. As a result of all of these low-quality copies on the web, according to the Rijksmuseum, "people simply didn't believe the postcards in our museum shop were showing the original painting. This was the trigger for us to put high-resolution images of the original work with open metadata on the web ourselves. Opening up our data is our best defence against the 'yellow Milkmaid'."

With temperatures hovering around 50 degrees Saturday morning, runners and walkers joined together to support the Nebraska Kids TRUTH Campaign with its Color Me Courageous Run in Imperial.
Nebraska Kids TRUTH Campaign co-founder Dave Vrbas and organizer Heidi Anderson were pleased with the turnout, despite the cold weather.
"We were very pleased with the turnout, since it was so cold out that morning with the threat of rain," Vrbas said.
Registrations were down from last year's race. Approximately 150 people signed up and Vrbas said nearly all were there.
"We didn't know what to expect with it being the second year and on a different weekend," said Vrbas. "So even though there was a drop in registrations, it was still an impressive turnout."
Jason Kimble with Night Sounds entertained the colorful crowd, keeping music playing throughout the morning at Campbell Park, site of the start and finish lines.
Prior to the start of the kids' run, participants threw non-toxic colored powder into the air, creating a color cloud. Participants were also doused with powder at color stations throughout the race to mark their progress.
Children's carnival games were held in the park as the adults ran their race.
Forty kids ran in a 1-mile race prior to the start of the adults' 5k. Imperial's Colin O'Neil placed first in the kids' run with Mason Wallin finishing second and Matthew Blackman of Palisade coming in third.
Leighf Brown placed first in the 5k followed by Kamryn Hughes and Madisen Messersmith.
Nordhausen and Vrbas were thankful for their sponsors and volunteers "who helped make it a great event."
Sponsors for the event were Hegwood Concrete, Mathews Family Chiropractic, Valley Irrigation, Wireless iNet, Law Offices of Ashley K. Spahn, Imperial Auction Market, Jeff Olsen, PC, Night Sounds Entertainment, Sandman Grow Yard, Frenchman Valley Co-op, Wallin Farms, Anderson Fencing, Gotcha Glass, Goltl Drywall, Ott Transport, Bud's Tire Repair, Pioneer Credit Union, Bear Mountain Angus and Jason and Crystal Hicks & Family.

Heart Activity and Behavior I: Developmental Factors, Motor and Mental Activities, Perception, Attention, and Orienting Responses
Why should the heart be of interest in psychophysiological research? After all, it is merely a muscular pump that pushes out blood to the rest of the body. This is true, but as we noted in chapter 1, there are written records to show that very early scientists observed that changes in cardiac activity were related to psychological phenomena and emotions such as "love sickness." In fact, it is more than likely that changes in heart activity that occurred in amorous or fear-producing situations were noticed by cavepeople thousands of years ago. The association of the heart with love, cupid's bow, and Valentine's day also reflects individual perceptions of heartbeat changes that occur with emotional reactions. Contemporary cardiovascular psychophysiologists (and cardiovascular is a subspecialty within psychophysiology) are not usually concerned with heart activity on Valentine's day. Rather, they are interested in more general issues; for example, whether perceptual accuracy varies with changes in heart activity, or if differential changes in heart rate occur in various emotional states, whether individuals are capable of accurate detection of changes in their own cardiac responses, or if perception of heart rate change can influence the emotion experienced by a person.
Today, we use scientific methods to study changes in heart activity not only during emotional or stressful situations but also in the performance of more subtle tasks, such as signal detection and problem solving. We find that experimental evidence indicates significant interactions of heart activity with somatic (muscle) and central (brain) activity. These findings have been elaborated in the cardiac-somatic concept of Paul Obrist and the intake-rejection formulation of the Laceys, as discussed in chapter 18. In this and the next chapter, changes in heart activity that occur in various behavioral situations are considered. The areas examined in this chapter include such issues as how heart activity varies in infants and children as a function of attentional states and emotion. Questions about relationships between heart activity and speed of response, and as a function of complex motor performance, are explored. Issues regarding cardiovascular response during various cognitive activities are probed (verbal learning, problem solving, and imagery). Also considered are cardiac changes during perception, attention, and orienting reactions.
The next chapter considers heart activity as it relates to emotions, stress, motivation, personality, and social factors. Also included is a discussion of conditioning and interactions between heart and brain. The next section of this chapter reviews the anatomy and physiology of the heart, and how its activity is measured, to enable a better appreciation of the behavioral studies covered in these chapters.

US women clinch spot in hockey semifinal with rout of Swiss
The United States women's hockey team used a five-goal first period to rout Switzerland 9-0 on Monday and clinch their spot in the semifinals after just two of three round-robin games.
In the opening minutes of the game, the Swiss did have decent traction in the game thanks in part to an early power play. But soon enough the United States scored and immediately the floodgates were open.
Monique Lamoureux scored on a great pass from her sister Jocelyne Lamoureux at 9:20 of the first period to put the USA on the board. Just 55 seconds later the USA was up 3-0, marking the fastest three goals in women's Olympic hockey history. Brianna Decker was able to squeek one past Swiss goalie Florence Schelling at 10:07 and just eight seconds later Amanda Kessel -- yes, Phil's sister -- made a terrific individual effort to give the USA the three-goal lead.
The opening-period barrage didn't stop there as Hilary Knight scored her second goal in as many games with a nice backhand right in front of the crease and Kessel converted another on the power play at 15:42. And that was just in the first period.
It was a spurt like we've never seen from the women's team in Olympic hockey. Really.
It's now 5-0 as the U.S. has scored the fastest five goals (6:22) in U.S. history. Previous record was 7:31. #sochi2014— USA Hockey Magazine (@USAHMagazine) February 10, 2014
As much as the US controlled play in the first period after the opening minutes, the Americans only controlled play more in the second. They outshot the Swiss 16-1 in the period and pushed the lead out to 6-0 on another goal from Monique Lamoureux from Jocelyne.
Hardly done, the United States continued to push out the advantage in the third period all while holding the Swiss off the board.
Kendall Coyne scored two goals in the third period, the first coming after a review. On the ice it wasn't called a goal and the action continued until Kessel scored what would have been her third goal of the game. But after review, Coyne was given her goal and Kessel's came off the board. Coyne added another goal before Alex Carpenter finished off the scoring for the final 9-0 score.
From start to finish, the speed of the United States was on full display and clearly a major difference between the two sides. The Americans were significantly faster and it helped them to reach loose pucks as well as create space for many of their chances.
While it was great for the American team, outshooting the Swiss 53-10, it further underscored the massive gap and lack of competitive balance in the women's game. The US and Canada remain head and shoulders above the rest of the world.
Speaking of the Canadians, they will clinch a spot in the semifinals too with a win over Finland later on Monday. The two North American rivals will meet in the final round-robin game in what will most likely amount to nothing more than an a preview of the gold-medal game.

Groton — Danbury Mayor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Boughton said he picked Heather Bond Somers as his running mate largely because of her experiences as a mayor and an entrepreneur.
A former Groton mayor and current council member, Somers will bring both a geographic and gender balance to the ticket, Boughton said Tuesday at the Hilton Garden Inn, where he announced Somers would seek the lieutenant governor seat as part of his team.
"She will bring a unique perspective as to what the challenges are of living here in the Second Congressional District," said Boughton.
Boughton and Somers, also a Republican, first met last year. Somers said they connected as mayors on many of the issues municipalities face.
Somers said she views Groton as a microcosm of the state, demographically and socioeconomically.
"I think the combination of setting a budget, dealing with the only town that has a military base in town, we're one of the only towns that has such diversity that 30 percent of our students are military, so we're juggling a lot of different interests," Somers said. "And I think being able to be successful there can only translate up in Hartford. That, coupled with my business experience, is a win-win."
Boughton is one of several Republicans who have announced or made indications they plan to challenge Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in the November election. Malloy has not said whether or not he would seek a second term.
Somers, 47, is a Robert E. Fitch High School graduate who grew up in Groton and attended the University of Connecticut, where she earned a bachelor's degree in economics. She is married with three children.
After a stint in the purchasing department at Electric Boat in the late 1980s, Somers co-founded Hydrofera LLC, a medical device manufacturing company in Willimantic that now has worldwide distribution. The company was recently purchased by Hollister Inc., and Somers said she has been working the company through the transition — traveling across the globe and meeting with distributors.
She said she plans to remain a member of the nine-member Town Council during the campaign.
"This is a blessed opportunity," she said of her candidacy. "One of the main reasons I decided to do this is that I want my kids to stay in Connecticut. The way things are going, there's not much hope for somebody getting out of school."
Somers said she and Boughton were a good fit, having both come from working middle-class families and serving as mayors in their communities, albeit at different ends of the state. Boughton is a former high school teacher who is in his seventh term as mayor in Danbury.
"He gets it. He understands," Somers said of Boughton. "He's a real person, genuine."
She described Connecticut's government as "broken" — years of one-party rule in the state legislature have resulted in large tax increases due to "fiscally irresponsible policies," she said.
"We've underfunded pensions, we borrow and spend money we don't have, we're drowning in debt," she said.
With new leadership and the ingenuity of the state's citizens, Somers said, "Connecticut can be repaired."
"It's not too late," she said. "Help is on its way."
Boughton said he and Somers will now travel the state to talk about the need to create an economic environment the state's residents can be proud of, to balance the state budget and to put people back to work.
Following the morning announcement, the two made appearances at several locales, including Gaspar's Restaurant in New London.
"Ambition, intelligence, political savvy and always looking to move forward — that's Heather," said Kevin Trejo, chairman of the Republican Town Committee in Groton. "She's a determined person. She's a businesswoman in the state. She cares about the community. She's a fighter.
"They could do wonderful things," he said of Boughton and Somers.
Seeing Somers in office would also go far in Hartford, he said, to increase visibility of southeastern Connecticut towns, which are often overlooked.
Somers said she has already received support from a diverse array of area residents.
"My phone has been ringing off the hook. Republicans, Democrats, independents and unaffiliated alike — I think people are pretty excited they'll have a voice," she said.

Sasatinnie LOVE Glacier Deep Purifying Mask controls oil, purifies and minimizes pores. Mineral-rich Glacial Marine Mud contains precious deep glacial clay. Its exceptional oil-absorbing power facilitates oil control and removes pore-clogging impurities and dead skin cells. It soothes, purifies, and moisturizes skin with a fresh, cooling sensation.

combination skin / oily and acne skin
This mask is my all-time favorite after a heavy longstaying power makeover. This association makes you feel like you have your face into a buck of iced water. After a cleansing, it's like the skin of the face is not only cleaner, but also, tighter. Very recommended for the make up lovers who love long lasting textures; it will keep the skin tight and clean

SYCAMORE, Ill. (AP) — Potential jurors in the trial of a Seattle man suspected in the sexual assault of an Illinois teenager 50 years ago are due in court.
Jack McCullough of Seattle was charged with rape and indecent liberties with a child for the alleged abuse of a 14-year-old Sycamore, Ill., girl from 1961 to 1962. Jury selection is expected Monday.
The 72-year-old also faces kidnapping and murder charges in the 1957 death of Maria Ridulph (RIHD'-uhlf), also of Sycamore. Those charges aren't part of the trial starting Monday.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/HNmRBY ) that public defender Regina Harris says it'll be difficult to pick jurors in the high-profile case. She says there's a larger than usual pool of jurors for that reason.
McCullough is being at the DeKalb County Jail.

WASHINGTON, June 27, 2011 – USDA's Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse will be a keynote speaker at the 13th Annual International Food Aid and Development Conference (IFADC) in Kansas City, Mo., on June 28. This year's theme is "Food Aid: Results That Matter to Hungry People." Special guest speakers include Mozambique's Ambassador to the United States Amélia Matos Sumbana; U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Raj Shah; U.S. Maritime Administrator Orlando Gotay; and the President of Catholic Relief Services Ken Hackett, who will be recognized for his 40-year contribution to alleviating global poverty and hunger.
"For decades, thanks to the generosity of the American people and the productivity of American agriculture, U.S. food aid has helped to meet the immediate food and development needs of millions," said Scuse. "Today, the global challenges of hunger and food price volatility require fresh ideas and new commitments to feed a growing world. This conference will serve as a forum for addressing these challenges and provide insight into new and innovative ways that we can provide food aid to some of the world's poorest people."
Topics to be discussed include:
The IFADC provides a forum to discuss policy and operational issues related to food aid and development, as well as ways to improve communication and cooperation, including government, private, voluntary and non-government organizations, and agricultural and transportation industry representatives. Conference participants will have an opportunity to discuss food security, logistics issues, public-private partnerships, commodity cargo handling, value added products, nutrition and supply chain management.

The Science of Avatar
ISBN13:by Baxter, Stephen
Audiences around the world have been enchanted by James Cameron's visionaryAvatar, with its glimpse of the Na'vi on the marvelous world of Pandora. But the movie is not entirely a fantasy; there is a scientific rationale for much of what we saw on the screen, from the possibility of travel to other worlds, to the life forms seen on screen and the ecological and cybernetic concepts that underpin the 'neural networks' in which the Na'vi and their sacred trees are joined, as well as to the mind-linking to the avatars themselves. From popular science journalist and acclaimed science fiction author Stephen Baxter, THE SCIENCE OF AVATAR is a guide to the rigorous fact behind the fiction. It will enhance the readers' enjoyment of the movie experience by drawing them further into its imagined world.
Author Biography
Stephen Baxter is a writer of science fiction novels which have achieved worldwide sales and have been recognized by many of the field's top awards. He has also developed a parallel career in popular-science journalism. As well as publishing the non-fiction future survey Deep Future (2000), he is an advisor to the BBC's popular science monthly magazine Focus, to which he contributes a regular column as well as major features.

Just a few years ago, Android didn't exist; in the second quarter of this year, nearly 52 million Android-based phones shipped, representing 48% of the entire smartphone market, according to research firm Canalys.
The pace of Android's growth has been so amazing that it has even been suggested that Microsoft is making more from licensing deals with Android phone makers than from its own Windows Phone.

Just come back to this site after a period away. I am a low-graded club and tournament player in the UK and have difficulty playing as Black against 1.d4 and 2. c4. I used to reply with 1...Nf6 2...g6 and 3...Bg7 but I find myself getting very cramped and at a loss to know how to release tension.
I recently switched to 1... and 2...e6 and have had slightly better results. However, I always find my heart sinking after an opponent plays 1.d4 in my tournaments.
The amount of material online going over this seems quite overwhelming so really what I am asking is where should I start and what other advice to someone of my level could people offer?
Thanks in advance.
I personally started with the Queen's Gambit Accepted. There's a good repertoire book called "How to Beat 1.d4" from Gambit Publications that uses the QGA as the foundation. The thing to remember is the pawn must be used as a stalling tactic to delay white while you solidify and develop the rest of your pieces. Aside from that, you'll generally find most players are not as used to the QGA as they are the QGD.
Also, it's more fun to play, I think.
ΙΜΟ the most appropriate opening for class players against 1.d4 and Flank openings (1.c4, 1.Nf3) is the QGD proper. Mastering it is rather easy. I would suggest the superb QGD book by Mathew Sadler.
The most solid (and unambitious) variation for Black is the Lasker. It's so unambitious, that Anand managed as Black only 2.5/3 in his recent encounters against Topalov...
And- there is also the positionally complex, and rich Tartakower variation, where the player with the better positional understanding wins, regardless of colour.
The Lasker has little theory to memorize, the Tartakower a bit more. However, it's not strictly necessary. What is necessary for Black is knowledge how to deal with an IQP, as well as the "hanging" c5/d5 pawns. It all boils down to correct strategy.
what about the QGD Exchange Variation??
What is necessary for Black is knowledge how to deal with an IQP, as well as the "hanging" c5/d5 pawns. It all boils down to correct strategy.
Which when I was a beginner, I found exactly those topics the most difficult to grasp. I'm probably more in line with Silman's thinking that if a beginner is to play the QGD, it should be the d5-e6-Nf6-Be7-0-0 formation to start with.
Just watched this video on the Lasker and I think it is something I could play.
Thanks for the 'heads-up'.
The more I read Silman, the better I become. Wading through 'The Amateur Mind' right now and it's transformed the way I think about a game.

They may be busy with their work, but celebrities take time out to cherish and nourish their friendship. For instance, Prabhu deva says his three best friends are as important as the air he breathes, while Shankar Mahadevan has found his best pal in his wife Sangeeta.
On Friendship Day, Sunday, the celebrities talk about their friends and their role in their lives. Here is what they have to say:
Prabhu deva: For me, every single day is Friendship Day. I thank god for the gift of close friends who have been with me for years and will be with me even when I am no longer known in the entertainment industry. I have three best friends. One of them I've known for 37 years, the other two for 30 years. They are as important to me as the air that I breathe.
Jackie Shroff: My best pal is Anees (Bazmee), who never allows life to bog him down and whom I've never seen wallowing in self-pity. In the film industry, my best friend is Danny Denzongpa. He is totally devoid of any hidden agendas in a life. A truly free-spirited soul.
Taapsee Pannu: I've a best friend in each of the cities and places that I've visited and stayed in. They are all special as they keep me grounded and show me that there is a life beyond movies. All of them are from outside the film industry.
Prosenjit Chatterjee: On Friendship Day I miss my closest friend this year. Rituparno Ghosh was not just a filmmaker for me, he was my friend, philosopher and guide for 20 years. His going away has left me stunned and desolate.
Poonam Pandey: My best friend is Pranita. We are very close. There is not a thing that we don't know about each another. The two of us have done really wacky things together.
Minissha Lamba: My best friend is Ashi, who has been a support through thick and thin. Over the years, we've learned a lot from each another. We've seen each other grow from our humble beginnings to well-grounded adults.
Shiamak Davar: My best friend is Zareer. He is a chef and I've known him for 25 years. He is the most talented and funniest pal I have. He is an outstanding cook and he makes me the best Parsi food. Because of his love for food, he is extremely overweight (don't want to call my friend fat) and still as light on his feet as he is in spirit.
Shankar Mahadevan: My best friend is a girl called Sangeeta. I've known her for 32 years. For me, she is my source of happiness and the inspiration for my music. I am fortunate that my best friend is my wife.

About the Insect Zoo
The Insect Zoo in Iowa State University's Department of Entomology is an outreach program developed to foster an appreciation of insects found in Iowa and throughout the world. Participants can view and interact with live insects and other arthropods. We emphasize the diversity, ecology and behavior of arthropods while the students are exposed to many basic concepts of biology. Participants will learn about interrelationships among diverse insect groups and their important role in life on Earth.
Feel the impact of an up-close and hands-on experience! We have two different options:
All Insect Zoo inquiries must begin by filling out the REQUEST FORM. Only inquiries received via this system will be considered. Using this system will not only put a formal request in for Insect Zoo programming, but it will also provide basic and additional information to you once you have registered (pricing, requirements, lengths, etc.). Filling out the request form DOES NOT contractually lock you into a program!
The Insect Zoo LOVES to have parents invite us to their child's class. However, we ask that the classroom teacher fills out the request form. We need information from the teacher on what has been happening in their class with insects and the teacher needs information from the Insect Zoo on what to expect when we visit. If the parent is paying for the Insect Zoo visit, they can be listed as the billing contact.
Option 1:
On Campus Visit
Request Form
Come to the Insect Zoo! We will host your group on the ISU campus for a bug filled program. During your visit your group will be introduced to the same animals we take out on the road. Please allow 1 hour for your visit with the Insect Zoo. Each 1 hour program is limited to 30 participants, adults or chaperones are not included in the count. When classes are in session, scheduling a classroom can be difficult. It helps to be flexible with time. If you are scheduling other activities on campus, we recommend scheduling the Insect Zoo first.
Those who can't visit our facility can request a traveling Insect Zoo visit. The Insect Zoo covers the entire state of Iowa, bringing exciting entomological concepts to thousands of participants each year.
Option 2:
Insect Zoo Visits
Request Form
The Insect Zoo travels all over Iowa visiting schools, libraries, church groups, Boy/Girl Scouts, and other educational venues. The Insect Zoo can be set up to specifically address certain biological concepts or curriculum requirements. This program was developed by educators and thus encourages the public to maximize its teaching potential.
The Insect Zoo offers on-site presentations for those who cannot visit our facilities housed at the Iowa State campus. We offer four options, depending on the needs of your group. Please read the following information carefully, and then proceed to the Request Form.
Site Visit Option A: Hands-on presentation, incorporating age-appropriate information on insects and other Arthropods. We recommend this option for participants Kindergarten through adult ages in a formal educational setting. Trained educators will bring living insects and other Arthropods to your school or group an introduce everyone to the exciting world of Arthropods.
Each presentation requires 60 minutes. Smaller groups allow for more hands-on interactions and thus we strongly enforce a maximum of 30 participants per hands-on presentation.
Rates are based on 1-hour sessions. Mileage will be billed for presentations outside of Story County, IA.
Site Visit Option B: Display only. We recommend this option for public and large group settings such as fairs or open houses. The Insect Zoo will set up a number of live and interactive displays for the public to view as they walk through. We provide 2-3 staff members to provide information to participants about arthropods and interactively engage passerby's with the arthropods.
Rates are based on 1-hour displays, with a 2-hour minimum. Mileage will be billed for presentations outside of Story County, Iowa.
Site Visit Option C: Hands-on presentation with art activity. This option includes all of option A but with an art activity included so the participants can take something home! The art activity can range from something simple like recreating a butterfly's life cycle with pasta to more advanced like making an insect key chain with beads. Activities will vary and depend on age. Those who choose this option will be contacted to talk about art activities available.
Rates are based on 1.5 hour sessions. Mileage will be billed for presentations outside of Story County, IA.
Preschool programs are offered for children ages 3-5. This program has less hands-on and more bugs to look at. We require that the preschool groups have no more than 15 children and have at least 2 adult helpers. These programs last 30 minutes. Please indicate that you are requesting a preschool program under Special Instructions in your request form.
Please not that the Insect Zoo charges the following fees for our programs
School programs are $60.00 per 1-hour session (limit of 30 participants for each session).
Birthday parties are $155.00 and include a 1 hour session with bugs plus an insect themed art project and an Insect Zoo t-shirt
Displays are $142.50 per hour with a minimum of 2 hours.
We offer family visits with reservations for $7.00 per person. Family visits are 1 hour with a limit of 7 people. Please indicate you would like a family visit on your form.
Mileage is an additional charge.
Please fill out a request form for a precise quote. Quotes will not be given via email or phone.
Please note that our geographic range is limited to the state of Iowa.
Contacting the Zoo
Please use our Request Forms to request tours and visits. If you have additional questions, please contact us:
Ginny Mitchell
Please note that we are often on the road presenting to schools and other groups. We will answer your request as soon as possible. Thank you!

Rosy Red Christmas Apples Recipe
Pretty enough to pass as dessert, these sweet festive apples make a nice alternative to salad. The creamy nut-filled mixture stuffed inside is delightful.
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
- 16 medium apples, peeled and cored
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1. In a large saucepan, bring sugar, water and food coloring to a boil. Place four apples in pan; boil for 3 minutes. Turn apples over; boil 2-5 minutes longer or until apples are crisp-tender. Place in a large dish to cool. Repeat with remaining apples.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, pecans and mayonnaise. Stuff into center of apples. Serve or refrigerate. Yield: 16 servings.

Wow, that sounds like a very special place! I know the type of cockroaches you mean and they are really impressive. Excellent page!
Haha, thanks for Indian Jones stories. Huge and unpleasant wildlife in that cave... eeeksss...
I remember how awful it was inside the cave ! how terrible it must be to have the job of the guard and have to stay in that little hut in the middle, another wonderful page refreshing my memories
WHY from me also - eeeks, I am afraid of all that crawls - I would have screamed the whole time.... A bit like this Indiana Jones movie :-)) But - tough girl you are, enduring this visit :-)
Why Simone, why? Shiver me timbers, this place sounds scary! Great writing, as is the norm for you!

I'm trying to link the libpng library to my iphone application, and getting this error:
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libpng.dylib, file is not of required architecture
This happens when I build for the simulator or the device.
When I build a console application however, I can link in libpng just fine.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a different libpng.dylib I need to use for iphone development?

Slay me...
I just saw this rendering of the next Fuji camera, and I quivered with desire.
Unfortunately it is just a concept design made by an enthusiast. Why must these concept renderings be so incredibly superior to anything that actually exists? To my tastes, this has to be the most gorgeous camera design since the Leica M7.

An adequate tool in the hand of an expert is better than an excellent one in the hand of a novice. Expertise is the child of experience and comes of age with time.
Happy to share what I know. I learned a lot of it here.

Police: Boston bomb suspects spent night in Honda
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts State Police say a pair of brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings spent the night in a Honda CRV and used it to carjack a Mercedes SUV.
Police said Friday morning at a Watertown news conference that one of the brothers stayed with the carjacking victim for a few minutes and then let him go.
They say one brother drove away in the CRV, and the other one drove away in the Mercedes.
Police say one then ditched the CRV and reunited with his brother in the Mercedes. Authorities say both suspects were in the Mercedes when they encountered police and hurled explosives at officers. Twenty-six-year-old suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NY'-ev) was killed.
The CRV was later recovered in Boston.
Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar (JOH'-kahr) Tsarnaev remains on the loose.

Pretty much the best game ever made.
AlexKidd said:
Very good game.
Juan said:
Wiisworld says this came out in 1988, and MM came out 1989. WEIRD. Awesome game though.
Tennindo said:
Have the collection disk for Gamecube. I can pass on this one. Sweet game.
MM2 fan said:
For the fans living in North America, please release this for the VC. Not all of us can find the gamecube version. Besides, the gamecube version has been modified and has quirks that were not in the original games. Thanks.
JRAPOCALYPSE said:
Dude this game was released originally on dec 24th 1988 not 1989! I still remember when I bought it on day 1, it's the easiest and the least best in the series. Good game but there are better in the series, if you do not know your game releases look them up, I'm too good at this for amateurs.
JRAPOCALYPSE said:
The gc version was not modified at all, it had sub menus added so you could navigate between each game, none of the actual games themselves were modified in anyway. But whatever, I have all 8 original megaman games with their original packaging all mint so it matters not to me, plus I have the collection for gc and xbox, Megaman 8 for ps and saturn - all original.
banjo-kazooie fan said:
I want banjo-kazooie on the VC.
Diddy Kong Lover said:
I feel your pain, BK fan, Banjo-Kazooie is my favorite game. Still I want Super Mario Kart and some Saturn games to come to VC.
Master Foot said:
Although MM2 has the best music of all the 8bit MMs, I would have to say that MM3 is better. It is the only MM that SPOILER WARNING has all 8 bosses another MM game SPOILER ALERT END. Sorry, but he spoiler alert is for the younguns who haven't experienced classic MM yet. The Anniversary collection is undoubtedly the cheapest way to experience classic MM, but it's no different from the original in terms of gameplay. JRAPOCALYPSE, look behind you (MM games mysteriously vanish).

Got a minute?
At PayScale, our salary data resides in the largest real-time online employee salary database in the world. The salary database was built from the millions of curious individuals who want to compare their salary data and understand the market for their skills.
We create each individualized salary report by analyzing anonymous salary data collected over the last year from people with similar job titles, years experience, education, etc. This automated process includes extensive checks and statistical tests for consistency and accuracy on all salary data.
I am not a lawyer, so take this with a big grain of salt. The Equal Pay Act (EPA) of 1963 says that it is unlawful in the United States to pay women less salary than men for work that is "substantially equal." The law specifies that men and women must be paid equally for similar work unless the salary difference is based on seniority, experience, or other legitimate factors. At the time of the EPA's passage, women made 58 cents for every dollar brought home by their male counterparts. The EPA was established to level out this salary imbalance.
