Art, Opera, and the Bard

Arts and literature publishing is making inroads on the Web
The world of arts and literature publishing has traditionally lagged behind business and science in moving to the Web; however, the launch of three significant new resources is set to reverse the trend. They are Web versions of two of Macmillan, Ltd.'s arts "bibles," The Grove Dictionary of Art and The Grove Dictionary of Opera; and Arden-online, which provides what is claimed to be the definitive Web site on the works of Shakespeare.
Macmillan Dictionaries
The launch of Macmillan's The Grove Dictionary of Art on the Web and its opera counterpart (http://www.macmillan-reference.co.uk) allows these two key reference works for the first time to incorporate color images and sound clips as well as search engines and search references linked to the text. This also represents the first steps in what Macmillan says will be a comprehensive and ambitious reference-publishing program on the Web.
In the case of The Grove Dictionary of Opera, the new Web service provides the full text of the four-volume set. It includes 11,000 articles and 2,000 live cross-references, as well as music examples, diagrams, and line drawings displayed in the text. Biographical searches can be carried out by nationality, occupation, and date. Also included are a subject classification for identifying groups of related articles, a glossary of opera terms, external links to illustrations, specialist sites, and record kiosks, as well as updates on new works and current events.
The Grove Dictionary of Art is claimed to be the world's first comprehensive art reference work covering all forms of the visual arts: painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic and decorative arts, and photography, from prehistory to the 1990s. Global coverage provides detailed analysis of the arts of Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Pacific, and Europe. In addition, influences on the production of art such as trade, geography, history, and politics are addressed, with the aim of helping to place art in context and further the understanding of the history of artistic endeavor.
According to Richard Charkin, chief executive of Macmillan, Ltd., the launch of both resources on the Web is a classic example of how a reference publisher can add value in the Internet Age. "Before the Web, we would spend years amassing a huge amount of data, editing it, checking it, then publishing it in a high-priced book. The problem with that is that, once published, the book doesn't change, and however much you produce supplements it is not quite the same--it becomes unwieldy and hard to use. Second, the technology dictates that you can't put much color in.
"There is also an economic issue," he continued. "With a book, you work away, spend a huge amount of money for a long time employing a lot of people for what is effectively a one-off project which ends when the work is published. With our new post-Web model, we keep on a small number of people permanently, constantly update the information, and make it available online. For the customers there are real advantages: Instead of paying a significant amount of money in one slab for a book, they can take some of the benefit by paying a lower amount annually. So we have moved from a purchase to a subscription model."
It is not difficult to see his point--a 12month subscription to The Grove Dictionary of Opera Online, for example, costs $302 for one to five concurrent users in institutions, with a charge of $57 for each additional user. A single-user license costs $155. This compares with the paperback version, which costs $243, while the hardback version costs $898.
"The move to the Web in the academic and reference publishing [arenas] may be slower than in the scientific publishing arena, but it is happening," says Charkin. …

A Common Man, Yet Very Special!!
Generally this happens when there is a void in a person's life, the person is sort of alone, then one turns into things that can be done alone, say play video games, surf the net, then the level of frustration with folks outside grows, suppose if the person is picked upon or is an outcast in the groups in school or the person feels wronged
Everybody cites our culture in this, well what does our culture provide it provides a sense of family, togetherness.
In days past we used to have a community living, a joint family, where even though you might dislike people in the household, you still have someone around. For kids, even if the parents are not around there is always someone around, there are groups of kids to play with
when we move into nuclear families, this aloneness creeps in, Kids these days in our culture also want to play video games, watch TV, pretty much the same thing
why havent we seen something like this amongst kids in our area? The lack of guns/weapons. If we have them, we also will have a Virginia Tech
All that seperates South Asian culture and Virginia Tech is a lack of guns

lack a good value system and lack of religion, culture..leading to lack of purpose is what leads to frustration and purposeless acts like this.. None of those young victims deserved anything like this......
Unless US looks at all its amendments especially the first and second... all that is there is to wait and watch who gets into the next maniacal shooting...just hoping its not you or someone you know....someone lurking there with pent up feelings of anger, frustration and hatred...

Seven Tips for Managing Inventory Turnover
by Ralph Cox, Principal, Tompkins International
Although many companies find themselves bogged down with inventory and feel there is no good solution in sight, there are several ways to successfully reduce inventory and increase turnover without purchasing or renting more storage space. Your company can save time, costs and labor by using these seven key guidelines:
First, and most direct, is to reduce lead time from vendors and suppliers.
Second, and very important, although sometimes more difficult because of organizational alignment, lack of technology or other factors, is to increase forecast accuracy.
Third, and potentially a technique to increase sales revenue as well, is to reconcile safety stock policies with management priorities across the product line.
Fourth, is to reduce purchase transaction costs (distributors) and set-up/changeover costs (manufacturers).
Fifth, is to work off overstock at the distribution centers (any firm) and at stores (retailers) by transferring slow-moving inventory to facilities where the demand exists in lieu of purchasing additional quantities.
Sixth, is to purchase or manufacture to-order instead of to-inventory, when lead time and capacity allow, or use postponement techniques.
Seventh, is to incorporate forecasting and inventory performance into the firm's continuous improvement program, and measure, report, and review results against goals.
There are numerous ways to take better control of inventory and decrease its associated costs. The key to managing inventory successfully is to continuously measure your performance and look for new ways to improve. These seven tips should get your organization thinking about the best way to achieve inventory reduction in your organization. Many of these strategies may seem challenging to implement, but the benefits can be golden in the long run.

Carnosine, or L-carnosine, is an amino acid made naturally in the body, which was discovered more than 100 years ago. It is thought to be a powerful anti-aging supplement, with benefits that researchers have only recently begun to explore.
Carnosine helps protect the body from glycation, one of the two main processes that cause symptoms associated with the breakdown, or aging of the body. Recent studies have indicated that glycation works together with oxidation to create free radicals, the destructive oxygen atoms that damage other healthy cells in the body. While oxidation is a result of oxygen use in the body, glycation is driven by the body�s use of sugar.
The glycation process attacks the proteins in the body and converts them into Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). As AGEs accumulate throughout the body, they generate more compounded free radicals that break down tissues in the body, resulting in damage to the skin, eyes, nervous and circulatory system, and vital organs. The result is the wrinkled skin, mental decline, and other complications often associated with aging.
Although nothing has thus far been shown to reverse the damage done by glycation, L-carnosine has been shown to slow the glycation process in laboratory rats. In one study, carnosine was found to improve the rats� lifespan, brain function, and physical appearance. It is not certain if these results can be achieved in humans taking carnosine supplements, but initial laboratory studies have shown that carnosine can extend the life of human cells.
Some �life extensionists,� or people who seek to prolong life through holistic health treatments, point out that, while antioxidants protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals, they are not equally effective in protecting proteins from the damage caused by sugar-related glycation. They advocate the use of carnosine supplements along with antioxidants for anyone seeking to fight the damage caused by aging.
Carnosine supplements also combat cellular damage by helping the body rid itself of toxic metals, a process known as chelation. Excessive levels of pro-oxidative metals, such as copper and zinc, and toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and nickel, have been linked to a host of illnesses, including Alzheimer�s, autism, Parkinson�s, dementia, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Supplementing with carnosine may help protect against these disorders, because it helps keep these substances from accumulating in your system.
Carnosine oral supplementation is a relatively new, and there is no Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for this substance. The normal dose for anti-aging benefits is 100 to 200 milligrams each day. Such dosages have failed to produce any report of serious side effects or contraindications to date. There have been some reports of disturbing muscle twitching with dosages of over 1 gram per day.
Do not confuse L-carnosine with L-carnitine, a supplement used to protect the heart and help stabilize blood sugar. These supplements are in no way related and serve entirely different purposes in the body.
L-carnosine is also available in topical forms. Regular use of carnosine skin creams and tonics may help prevent and treat the appearance of tough, leathery skin and improve overall skin condition, as well as to help prevent signs of skin aging.
Another form of carnosine called n-acetylcarnosine is available in eye drops. This form of carnosine is not for oral use as it is not absorbed through the stomach, but it has demonstrated some remarkable effects on patients with cataracts, a condition caused by the free-radical damage to the eye lens. In some cases, the cataracts went away completely, and these results were maintained with regular use of the drops.
Carnosine has been hailed as the next super-antioxidant. Although research concerning carnosine supplementation is preliminary, early results are promising. Those that wish to add a potentially powerful weapon to their anti-aging arsenal have little to lose�no toxic effects have been reported, and the supplements are relatively inexpensive.
Carnosine extends the life of every cell in your body
Carnosine is a potent anti-oxidant that prevents cell damage and improves cell function
Carnosine is a natural amino-acid with a number of interesting actions. It is a potent anti-oxidant, it helps to chelate ionic metals (flush toxins from the body), it has immune boosting properties, it is known to reduce and prevent cell damage caused by beta amyloid (the substance found in the brain of Alzheimer disease patients) and recent evidence even suggests that Carnosine has a important role in the sense of smell.
Carnosine helps to prevent glycosylation - the cross linking of proteins and DNA molecules caused by sugar aldehydes reacting with the amino acids on the protein molecule and creating Advance Glycosylation End-products (AGE's). Cross linking is the effect that occurs when you cut an apple in half and it gradually turns yellow. Such anti-glycosylation may be beneficial for diabetes, cataracts, neuropathy, kidney failure and skin conditions, as well as more general anti-aging properties, especially improving skin condition.
In 1999, Australian researchers confirmed that Carnosine increases the longevity of human fibroblast cells in the laboratory. Carnosine extended the Hayflick limit (the maximum number of times a cell can divide) from 50 to up to an additional 10 times. It has also been shown that animals with higher levels of Carnosine appear to live longer. Although research is still taking place in this area, Carnosine may become a common supplement for longevity.
The Russian's use carnosine in an eye-drop form to help eradicate senile cataract problems with great success. This type of carnosine eye-drop may have very important anti-aging eye functions because it is breaking protein cross-links, not just inhibiting them. It is important to note however, that the Russians have been using a 'special' kind of carnosine known as N-alpha acetylcarnosine or NAC for this purpose. For further details see Can-C.
Another very interesting aspect to carnosine is its ability to help block the accumulation of lactic acid. Lactic acid is the substance that literally triggers the pain in muscles after periods of intensive exercise. Carnosine when taken before and after exercise can therefore reduce and often even eliminate this aching pain, ideal for the climb up to the 19th hole!
Usual anti-aging dosages are from 100mg to 300mg (maximum 600mg day) per day with occasional breaks. The synergetic and protective use of Centrophenoxine may be beneficial with long-term oral Carnosine use.

This is the second post in a three-part series outlining how the new leadership in Congress and the White House can restore some of the civil liberties we've lost over the past eight years. Today's post focuses on innovation, fair use and intellectual property. On Friday, we posted about privacy and surveillance, and tomorrow we'll discuss government transparency.
Today's intellectual property (IP) laws frequently fail to strike the proper balance between the rights of creators, copyright holders and the public. Powerful companies interested in maximizing their investments in intellectual property have run roughshod over the people's fair use rights. This has been especially problematic given the explosion of user generated content sites like YouTube, which celebrate creativity and innovation and actively encourage a remix culture. It is our hope that our government leaders will work to bring balance to the law. Here are some suggestions to get things started:
Repair the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Eliminate the ability of copyright holders to get statutory damages for noncommercial violations of copyright laws. Require proof of actual damages prior to any award based on copyright liability. Raise the requirements for content owners to receive preliminary injunctions against technologies in copyright cases. Congress should pass the FAIR USE Act and the Orphan Works Act.
Reform the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), emphasizing its role to promote, rather than impede, innovation. Patents, by constitutional design, are supposed to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts." All too often today, patents are used to hold innovation hostage. Patent office procedures should be reviewed to ensure that patent examiners are being given the tools and incentives they need to challenge overbroad patent applications. Simultaneously, avenues for post-grant administrative review procedures should be broadened, ensuring that public interest groups can continue to raise post-grant challenges without restrictive time limitations on their participation.
Don't let the content industry use our government resources to pressure universities and others to participate in their intimidating peer-to-peer dragnet operations.
Show caution before regulating the use of technologies that limit consumer choice or consumer rights. In the United States and abroad, our government should advocate for policies that promote the ability of consumers to use technology they purchase however they choose.
Last year, we reported that WIPO Member States had decided to postpone holding an intergovernmental diplomatic conference to adopt the controversial Broadcasting Treaty. For us, and the many others who had expressed concern about the proposed treaty, this was welcome news. But it was short-lived. In 2008, the Broadcasting Treaty is being pushed by its supporters with a vengeance. Surprisingly, the US seems to have reversed its most recent position, and expressed support for continuing treaty negotiations so long as it includes webcasting.
Despite the fact that there has been no agreement on fundamental elements of the treaty after over 10 years of negotiations, in March there was a concerted move to resurrect negotiations, led by the European Community and Japan, with support from a set of other countries. At the September 2008 WIPO General Assembly meeting, a number of WIPO national delegates expressed support for finalizing treaty negotiations. Then in October, the long-standing WIPO Copyright Committee Chair, Mr. Jukka Liedes of Finland, produced an "informal paper" describing the process of negotiations so far, and proffered several options which would result in continuing discussions and finalization of the treaty.
Yesterday, the Broadcasting Treaty was the main topic of discussion at this week's meeting of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright in Geneva. In spite of the enthusiastic efforts of treaty supporters, consensus still seems quite a long way off. Several country delegations (France on behalf of the European Community, Japan, El Salvador and China) expressed support for concluding a treaty. Others repeated that the treaty must be limited to protection of signals and not grant exclusive rights, which the current draft does (Pakistan on behalf of the Asia Group, the Africa Group, South Africa, India. the US).
As in previous meetings, the most contentious issue was whether the treaty should give broadcasters and cablecasters exclusive rights over Internet retransmissions of broadcast and cablecast content. The Africa Group, China, Nigeria, India, South Africa and Egypt all opposed inclusion of webcasting or extension to Internet transmissions. Japan, the US, Australia and the Ukraine supported the extension of the treaty to the Internet.
The US delegation said that if discussions are to continue, the treaty should include webcasting. This is a reversal of the United States' most recent position, and harks back to a May 2006 meeting, where it was agreed to take out webcasting and divide the treaty into two tracks -- first, a treaty on broadcasting and cablecasting, and then second, an instrument dealing with broadcasting on the Internet -- webcasting or "netcasting", as the US had wanted, and "simulcasting", as supported by the EU.
Yesterday, the United States' delegation stated it had agreed only temporarily to limit the scope of the treaty to traditional broadcasting entities, provided that simulcasting was also excluded, and with the failure to move to a diplomatic conference in 2007, any agreement on the two-track approach had now expired. In other words, the US apparently wants to go back to 2006 and bring webcasting or "netcasting" back in to the treaty. Finally, in case there was any doubt, the North American Broadcasters' Association repeated that their strong preference is for a treaty with exclusive rights for broadcasters and extending to Internet retransmissions.
EFF and a diverse group of public interest NGOs, libraries and major U.S. tech industry players continue to oppose the current treaty draft because it's not limited to signal protection, but would instead create a new layer of exclusive intellectual property rights for broadcasters and cablecasters that would harm access to knowledge and consumers' existing rights under national copyright law, endanger citizen broadcasting on the Internet, raise competition policy concerns and stifle technological innovation. Here and here is the joint statement presented by that group to WIPO this week. And here's EFF's briefing paper on our concerns with the current treaty draft.
Discussions at WIPO wound up today, after heated discussions on the issue of copyright exceptions and limitations. Member states agreed to keep the Broadcasting Treaty on the Copyright Committee's agenda and asked WIPO to convene an information session at the next meeting in May to discuss outstanding issues. The Committee did not make a decision on the various options presented by the Chair in his informal paper. Perhaps most importantly, Member States affirmed the mandate previously provided by the WIPO General Assembly -- that the treaty must be framed on a signal-based approach, and that the convening of a diplomatic conference could be considered only after agreement has been achieved on the treaty's objectives, specific scope and objectives. We'll be back shortly with the full text of the final adopted conclusions of the meeting and our analysis of this week's key issue, copyright exceptions and limitations for the visually impaired, libraries and archives, education and innovative services.
(With many thanks to Sherwin Siy of Public Knowledge and Judit Rius Sanjuan of KEI for their notes of delegates' interventions.)
This is the first post in a three part series directed at restoring some of the civil liberties we've lost over the past eight years. Today's post is about our privacy rights. We'll follow this up early next week with our thoughts on intellectual property rights and government transparency.
As new leaders prepare to move into the White House and Congress over the next few months, we'd like to call on them to restore Americans' privacy rights. Here's a little "wish list" we'd like to put forward:
Repeal or repair the FISA Amendments Act (FISAAA). There are a great many flaws in FISAAA, which was passed last Summer after a long and difficult fight. Most significantly, the provisions granting retroactive immunity from litigation to telecommunications companies complicit in the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretapping program should be repealed so that the millions of Americans who have been illegally surveilled can have their day in court.
Reform the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA). ECPA is a major law restricting the government's ability to surveil citizens and is in desperate need of reform. It has become dangerously out-of-sync with recent technological developments and Americans' expectation of online privacy. In particular, the privacy of personal data should not depend on how long an ISP has stored that data or whether the data is stored locally or remotely.
Reform the State Secrets Privilege. The State Secrets Privilege has been radically abused by the Bush Administration, particularly to shield its electronic surveillance activity from judicial review. The new administration should voluntarily reduce its use of the privilege, and work with Congress to reform the privilege and insure that claims of state secrecy are subject to independent judicial scrutiny.
Scale back the use of National Security Letters to gag and acquire data from online service providers. The REAL ID Act, with its requirement that Americans carry a national ID card, has been rejected by many U.S. states and should be federally repealed. Large-scale government data collection and data-mining projects like Automated Targeting System (ATS) should be reduced or eliminated. Invasive border-searches of electronic devices should be stopped.

Yesterday, a year-long collaboration between EFF and the Election Protection Coalition came to fruition. OurVoteLive.org, powered by EFF's Total Election Awareness project, helped EP's thousands of hotline operators and legal response teams document and respond to over 86,000 calls to the 866-OUR-VOTE voter-assistance hotline on November 4th and during early voting. Over 5,000 more calls were documented during the primaries.
Now that the election is over, Our Vote Live contains the largest database of voting-related inquiries, problems, and discrepancies ever created — all searchable and visible to the general public. While important prototypes were used in prior elections, Our Vote Live was by far the most comprehensive and most successful effort to date.
Behind the simple features visible to the general public is a complex system that enabled hotline call centers to provide information to callers, record their questions and complaints, and coordinate legal assistance and media outreach in response.
The vast majority of the calls came from voters with one of two inquiries: 29,000 callers asked "Am I registered to vote?", and 34,000 asked "Where is my polling place?" Just trying to answer these basic questions is complicated task as up-to-date voter registration data and polling place data is notoriously difficult to find and consolidate. Catalist and The Google Elections Team did an impressive job of rounding up much of this information and helping us make it available to volunteer operators at EP's call centers. (Google's Abe Murray has a great post on the Google Maps Blog about the tangled process of assembling Google's polling location data.)
A significant number of the calls to the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline reported serious problems. When they did, Our Vote Live enabled operators to coordinate a response with unprecedented efficiency. Joe Hall, who used the system to assist volunteers in his call center in New York City, writes:
One thing that has become obvious is having a bonafide database record ID is gangbusters for coordinating across centers, from centers up to national and within centers. The ability to have a living entry, one you can add notes to and add follow-up information, was a big deal... often we'd finally get to one in our pile, pull up the entry and see that someone else had followed up, meaning that we could quickly move on and not waste anyone's time.
As the system provided unprecedented information in close to real time, Our Vote Live was regularly reviewed by the press, election integrity advocates, and others interested in the health of the electoral process. OurVoteLive.org received close to 60,000 visitors on Election Day and was blogged about or linked to by the likes of Fox News, the New Yorker, Daily Kos, the Wall Street Journal, ">the Huffington Post, the NAACP, Common Cause and many others.
We hope that the real benefits of the project are only beginning to be seen. It's been less than 24 hours since Election Day, and we (and Election Protection) are only beginning to review the data in a comprehensive way. There's a recount likely in the Minnesota Senate race, and there's a runoff imminent in the Georgia Senate race. We've heard nationwide reports of unmanageably long lines, voter intimidation, and (of course) voting machine problems. Beyond the serious problems identified in individual reports on Our Vote Live, we need substantial systemic reform of our election process, as Election Protection leaders outlined in a memo Tuesday evening.
In addition to all of the things that went right yesterday, Election Day highlighted areas where the need for major improvement remains. Smart, transparent information technology will play a critical role in future reforms, and EFF will continue to work with EP and others to help make it happen. Stay tuned to EFF's Deeplinks blog for updates as the process continues.

UPDATE (Aug. 2009): If you are an author, head over to our Google Books page.
UPDATE (Jan. 2009): The official class notice has now been published. Anyone who owns a copyright and has questions about the settlement should start there. Also, I strongly recommend Prof. James Grimmelmann's analysis of the settlement.
As we reported earlier this week, Google has settled the lawsuit brought in 2005 by authors and book publishers regarding its massive book scanning and indexing project. Although the settlement must still be approved by the court and is unlikely to go into effect until sometime late in 2009, commentary has already been flooding the blogosphere. Generally, opinions are split between excitement for users ("better access to zillions of out-of-print books") and suspicion of Google ("one library to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them").
We are still digesting the ~300-page proposed settlement agreement (for those seeking a good overview, the 39-page notice to class members is a good place to start).
So far, two things are plain.
First, this agreement is likely to change forever the way that we find and browse for books, particularly out-of-print books. Google has already scanned more than 7 million books, and plans to scan millions more. This agreement will allow Google to get close to its original goal of including all of those books into Google's search results (publishers got some concessions, however, for in-print books). In addition to search, scanned public domain books will be available for free PDF download (as they are today). But the agreement goes beyond Google's Book Search by permitting access, as well. Unless authors specifically opt out, books that are out-of-print but still copyrighted will be available for "preview" (a few pages) for free, and for full access for a fee. In-print books will be available for access only if rightsholders affirmatively opt in. The upshot: Google users will have an unprecedented ability to search (for free) and access (for a fee) books that formerly lived only in university libraries.
Second, this outcome is plainly second-best from the point of view of those who believe Google would have won the fair use question at the heart of the case. A legal ruling that scanning books to provide indexing and search is a fair use would have benefited the public by setting a precedent on which everyone could rely, thus limiting publishers' control over the activities of future book scanners. In contrast, only Google gets to rely on this settlement agreement, and the agreement embodies many concessions that a fair user shouldn't have to make.
But the settlement has one distinct advantage over a litigation victory: it's much, much faster. A complete victory for Google in this case was probably years away. More importantly, a victory would only have given the green light for scanning in order to index and provide snippets in search results; it would not have provided clear answers for all the other activities addressed in the settlement, such as providing display access for out-of-print books, allowing nondisplay research on the corpus, and providing access for libraries. Litigating all of those fair use questions could easily have taken a decade or more. As University of Michigan head librarian Paul Courant points out, those are years that we would never get back. (University of Virginia's Prof. Siva Vaidhyanathan offers a differing view: "These claims are not convincing when one considers just how great an alternative system could be, if everyone would just mount a long-term, global campaign for it rather than settle for the quick fix.").
Conclusions beyond those two are harder to draw. Many devils are buried in the details of the 300-pages of legalese, and much will turn on how the agreement is implemented. Here are the 6 "big picture" concerns that I'm keeping in mind as I review those details:
Fair Use: How will this agreement impact future fair use cases involving book scanning? Others (like the Open Content Alliance) are scanning books, and they may not have Google's ability (or budget) to strike a deal with the world's publishers. UCLA Law's Prof. Neal Netanel has a few preliminary thoughts along this line at the Balkinization blog.
Innovation: It seems likely that the "nondisplay uses" of Google's scanned corpus of text will end up being far more important than anything else in the agreement. Imagine the kinds of things that data mining all the world's books might let Google's engineers build: automated translation, optical character recognition, voice recognition algorithms. And those are just the things we can think of today. Under the agreement, Google has unrestricted, royalty-free access to this corpus. The agreement gives libraries their own copy of the corpus, and allows them to make it available to "certified" researchers for "nonconsumptive" research, but will that be enough?
Competition: In the words of Prof. Michael Madison, "Has Google backed away from an interesting and socially constructive fair use fight in order to secure market power for itself?" Does this deal give Google an unfair head start against any second-comers to book scanning? The agreement creates an independent, nonprofit Book Rights Registry to dole out Google's royalties, and the parties clearly hope that the Registry will be able to license others on similar terms. But the Registry is empowered to cut a deal with Google on behalf of all rightsholders by virtue of the class action; in order to offer similar blanket licenses to others, it would have to independently acquire rights from each and every copyright owner individually. How long will that take? What about the Registry itself? It hopes to be a monopoly that fixes prices for the entire market of copyright owners -- precisely the kind of thing that landed ASCAP and BMI, which dole out blanket licenses for music, in antitrust trouble decades ago.
Access: This agreement promises unprecedented access to copyrighted books. But by settling for this amount of access, has Google made it effectively impossible to get more and better access? The agreement allows you to "purchase" digital access for out-of-print books, but does not include the right to download the book (unlike public domain books). So you can read the book, but only on Google's terms. Libraries get more access, but for an undisclosed price (OK, one computer for free) and still with a variety of restrictions. In the words of Harvard's head librarian, "As we understand it, the settlement contains too many potential limitations on access to and use of the books by members of the higher education community and by patrons of public libraries."
Public Domain: Early reports are that public domain materials are not regulated by the agreement. Moreover, Google has negotiated a "safe harbor" that protects it from liability for mistakes in evaluating the copyright status of a book. That should result in more willingness to forge ahead with the free PDF posting of books published between 1923-1963, where a public domain determination turns on checking government records to see whether the copyright had been renewed. But will Google impose restrictions on these "safe harbor" public domain works? Will the libraries that receive a digital copy of their own public domain holdings impose restrictions on those copies?
Privacy: The agreement apparently envisions a world where Google keeps all of the electronic books that you "purchase" on an "electronic shelf" for you. In other words, in order to read the books you've paid for, you have to log into Google. Google is also likely to keep track of which books you browse (at least if you're logged in). This is a huge change in the privacy we traditionally enjoy in libraries and bookstores, where nobody writes down "Fred von Lohmann entered the store at 19:42:08 and spent 2.2 minutes on page 28 of 0-486-66980-7, 3.1 minutes on page 29, and 2.8 minutes on page 30." If Google becomes the default place to search, browse, and buy books, it will be able to keep unprecedented track of what you read, how you read it, and collate that with all the other information it has about you. Does the agreement contain ironclad protections for user privacy?
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit yesterday issued a decision that imposes firm limits on business method patents. The ruling effectively overturns a key part of the court's decision in State Street Bank and Trust v. Signature Financial Group, which opened the door to an explosion of patents on "methods" of doing business so long as the methods involved use of a computer and produced a "useful, concrete, and tangible result."
Bilski applied for a patent on a method of managing the risk of bad weather through commodities trading. Upholding the Patent Office's rejection of Bilski's application, the Federal Circuit held (in line with Supreme Court precedent) that processes can be patented only if they are implemented by a machine or transformed something into a new or different thing. The court found that Bilski's method was not patentable because "transformations or manipulations of…business risks, or other such abstractions cannot meet the test because they are not physical objects or substances…." The court affirmed that business methods are still patentable, but explicitly rejected State Street's "useful, concrete, and tangible result" test, which many believed had cleared the way for improper patents on fundamental principles and everyday activities that had no connection to technological innovation:
[W]hile looking for "a useful, concrete and tangible result" may in many instances provide useful indications of whether a claim is drawn to a fundamental principle or a practical application of such a principle, that inquiry is insufficient to determine whether a claim is patent-eligible under § 101. And it was certainly never intended to supplant the Supreme Court's test. Therefore, we also conclude that the "useful, concrete and tangible result" inquiry is inadequate and reaffirm that the machine-or-transformation test outlined by the Supreme Court is the proper test to apply.
EFF submitted an amicus brief (in conjunction with The Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic at UC Berkeley Law, Public Knowledge, and Consumers Union) supporting the rejection of Bilski's patent application.
The blogosphere is doing a great job examining the legacy of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which was enacted into law ten years ago this week. But people frequently ask me where they can turn for a more in-depth analysis of the DMCA, DRM, and their impact on digital culture. For them, there are two books I recommend first and foremost.
First, there is Jessica Litman's Digital Copyright, which does a masterful job explaining how the DMCA (and much of the rest of our copyright law) came to be. Tracing the law from its beginnings in the internal bureaucracy of the Clinton administration in 1992, over to the international treaty realm of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and back to Congress, her account lays bare the political realities that produced a law that put corporate interests before the public interest.
Second, there is Tarleton Gillespie's Wired Shut, which picks up where Digital Copyright leaves off, tracing how the DMCA has been used as part of a larger effort to use technology and law to "weld the hood shut" on new digital devices. Tarleton's book is a bit more academic in tone than Jessica's, but at the heart of it are three fantastic chapters than provide a full historical accounting of the controversies surrounding (1) SDMI (chapter 5); (2) the development of CSS, used to encrypt DVDs (chapter 6); and (3) the broadcast flag for digital broadcast television (chapter 7). For those who want to get right to the action, I recommend starting at Chapter 5. EFF was deeply involved in all three of these watershed digital controversies, so to some degree these chapters are also a history of our digital copyright efforts.
If you want to understand what the DMCA does, and how we ended up with it as the law of the land, these two books are where to start.

Oklahoma Superintendent Barresi could benefit from working to build consensus
WHEN Janet Barresi ran for state schools superintendent, she pulled no punches about what she would do if voters gave her the job: reform, reform and more reform. Her intentions could not have been clearer.
Under the category of promises kept, she gets an A — maybe even an A-plus. That's no small thing in politics, and Barresi has bruises to show for it, earned from bumping up against the education establishment. Her grit is commendable.
She's two years out from election should she choose to seek a second term. She may want to draw from the experiences of a colleague in Indiana.
Indiana and Oklahoma have been on somewhat parallel tracks when it comes to education reform. Barresi has referred to Tony Bennett, who was elected that state's superintendent in 2008, more than a few times when discussing what other states are doing in meaningful education reform. Bennett and Barresi have been active in Chiefs for Change, a group of reform-minded state school leaders.
Bennett received a surprise boot out of office last week even after doing exactly what he said he would. Scott Elliott, an education reporter at the Indianapolis Star analyzed it this way: "In politics, it pays to remember that you need to make sure regular folks are behind you when you push for big changes. Bennett's biggest miscalculation may have been waiting too long to try to build a wide coalition of teachers — not just collect a few like minded ones — to buy into his approach or, at a minimum, to at least trust him enough to give his ideas a chance. Teacher mistrust was the biggest arrow that felled him on Tuesday. "
Elliott included anecdotes of people who said they were friends or relatives of teachers who planned to vote not so much for the other candidate (a teacher), but against Bennett. "It appears there were enough of these kinds of conversations across the state to ultimately play a role in dooming Bennett's re-election despite huge advantages he had in terms of money and name recognition," the story said. "Teachers long have complained about the way Bennett talked about them, that they felt he was blaming teachers for all the state's education woes."
If concerns over the mix of style and substance sound familiar, they should.
In Oklahoma, superintendents and many teachers have been riled up almost since Barresi took office even though, to her credit, she's doing exactly what she said she would do. At times her words and actions have lacked grace and diplomacy, which has served as a distraction and eroded relationships with many of the state's educators.
On the other hand Barresi has absorbed more than her share of slings and arrows, too, from those educators who seem to be averse to change of almost any kind. As we've said before, the continued sniping and finger pointing from both sides has grown old.
As she continues implementing her strategy for the Department of Education, building a consensus — or at least making a valliant effort to do so — could help Barresi win another election in 2014. More important, it might help make the next two years a time when politics takes a distant back seat to student achievement.

I also gained a sense of the teamwork that goes into a Dunkin' Donuts. I was not sure what to expect prior to the tour - I had half expected a group of disaffected people who hated their jobs. It was nothing like that. I saw people who enjoyed working together and took pride in their jobs. To me, that was exactly the kind of fit that I can see being of benefit to my future clients. All of the staff were supportive of one another and I could see the environment was very positive all round.
Going into this meeting, I had wanted to get a sense of what kind of fit Dunkin' Donuts would be for my clients and whether the company would be receptive to working with a rehabilitation counselor to place clients. In that respect, I believe that the meeting was a success. I was able to strike up a relationship with the manager and was able to determine that the work environment at Dunkin' Donuts was quite positive. I believe that this employer will be very receptive in the future when I seek to place a client with their establishment.
3. The most important thing that I learned from this experience was the value of preparation. I took the time to get to know the company not only on the informational level but by spending time there as a customer. I think that my preparation made it easier to ask the right questions. I also feel that my preparation allowed me to be more comfortable with the process in general.
Because the process went smoothly, I would not do anything differently. I feel that the employer presentation went about as well as I could have expected. I suppose what concerns me is that because it was a success I may not have been able to learn any lessons from it about things not to do. I would not change anything, but I envision that in the future I would have to change a few things about my process, as I encounter difficulties and learn from them. Even in this process, I may encounter difficulties in the future, and that is something I need to be prepared for[continue]

I'm a non-exempt employee in NY, and work a four day ten hour work week with Friday my scheduled day off.
this week, with Monday off for Veteran's Day, we are being "encouraged" and "expected" to work on our scheduled day off-
is this permissible?
if "required," does this change the wage at which one is to be paid?

- Yes, this is permissible.
No, it does not change your wage rate. You have to be paid for all the hours that you work but there are only two (possibly three - the website for one state is contradictory) states in which the law ever requires a premium for working on a holiday; New York is not one of those states; no law in ANY state requires a premium for working on a scheduled day off.#1; Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:34:00 GMT

Toning shoes are the wildly popular shoes that promise to give your legs and rear-end a workout. But could they be more of a hazard than a help?
Rosie Jackson, 57, broke her ankle and injured her back last November after wearing the toning shoes for less than a month. She still has unpaid hospital bills and was out of work for three months - all because of a fall she says wouldn't have taken if it weren't for the shoes.
"I was walking and all of sudden my feet was going from up under me and I was going down and I couldn't do anything," she said.
Last April, house call physician Ernest Brown also suffered a broken ankle while walking down the street in a pair of toning shoes.
"It almost felt like something was hitting me from behind and knocking me off my feet{>}" Brown said. "What I knew is I was falling down rapidly and it was excruciating pain shooting up my leg."
Brown and Jackson are among a group of at least 40 people who plan to sue several toning shoe manufacturers. Attorney Andy Bederman says the shoes have led to a variety of serious injuries.
"The shoes, we think, are fundamentally unsafe and the manufacturer probably knew this and didn't disclose it and should've disclosed it," Bederman says.
The rocker bottom design is not exclusive to a single brand of shoe.
Podiatrist Sheldon Lapps has treated injuries resulting from the use of the shoes.
"For the general population they are not terribly safe," Lapps said. "I'm very concerned about the injuries and the instability that the shoes bring. I think they're dangerous."

Hello, I'm a 29 year old designer from the UK, soon to be living in Sweden.
I was a freelance designer, illustrator and front end web developer for six years, but since the summer of 2014, I've been a full time designer at Ind.ie. We're a tiny social enterprise building social technology that respects human rights. You really should check us out.
I know what you're thinking… "Designer? That's a bit vague…" At Ind.ie, we're a tiny team working with limited funds. So we have to be flexible and multidisciplinary. We work together on the holistic design of Ind.ie, lead by Aral. I create all the branding and graphic design work. I'm also responsible for the website, including the design and front end development. I also do the admin, organisational stuff, and accounts. When I need to, I write, edit, and give talks about Ind.ie too.
In the little bits of spare time I have, I also write and speak at events. I've got a regular column on A List Apart, and occasionally contribute to other publications.
My beliefs
If you're familiar with Ind.ie, it won't surprise you that ethical, sustainable and independent design is incredibly important to me. I believe in our right to privacy, and that we should be able to own our own data and choose what we share without having to compromise on convenience. And the alternative tools that give us the power to own our own data should be available to everyone, not just those with the technical know-how.
I speak and write regularly about the importance of accessibility and diversity, in the tech industry and design. I'm not afraid to talk about women in technology, and you shouldn't be either.

Maximizing the Value of Photovoltaic Installations on Schools in California: Choosing the Best Electricity Rates
Schools in California often have a choice between multiple electricity rate options. For schools with photovoltaic (PV) installations, choosing the right rate is essential to maximize the value of PV generation.
A solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is a financial agreement where a developer arranges for the design, permitting, financing and installation of a solar energy system on a customer's property at little to no cost.
An independent research report by the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, found that solar energy is following the same path to commercialization as other traditional energy sources spurred by federal incentives. The study, titled "Assessment of Incentives and Employment Impacts of Solar Industry Deployment," also estimates that the U.S. solar industry could employ hundreds of thousands of Americans by the end of the decade.

Delightful space - used well by a talented cast.

The atmosphere in the theatre was very friendly, the staff was very attentive, and the producer very personable. Unfortunately, the play was both insubstantial and overlong, and the acting, while competent, wasn't enough to make the performance...continued

Higher taxes and a lower quality of living are the reasons protesters say they don't want to become a part of one eastern Carolina city.
Over 50 people showed up in Kinston to challenge city council's proposal to annex neighborhoods currently outside its city limits. Kinston wants to annex over 500 acres of land. Neighborhoods such as the Crestview, Briarwood, and Silver Creek subdivisions are in the proposed annex. Residents say Monday's protest gave them a venue to voice their opinions.
Kinston city manager Scott Stevens says they hope to make a final decision on the annexation proposal this summer.

Invention of the Wheel
4 views 36 comments posted:
As promised, part two of my History of the World series will take us back to Asia around 6000BC. You may think I made this up, especially because of my references to the inventor, but I assure you my sources are correct. Read on...
In ancient Mesopotamia, a big musclebound bloke named Conan was was tasked by his elders to collect large rocks from a quarry 32 miles away from their mud huts. The rocks were destined to become the foundations of a big-ass tower, that is once these guys had figured out how to build one.
Conan set off with a bunch of his mates and for two years dragged these great big rocks across hill and dale using a bunch of ancient techniques including log rollers, oxen and lash, boat and skids.
One day Conan sat exhausted, wishing he was raping and pillaging with the other warriors of his people and not laying tired out hauling these stupid bloody stones around the country. While he sat staring at the big rock that was his current charge, he noticed two large logs had broke loose by careless workers. As they rolled down the gentle slope they hit one of his mates ankles, lifting the poor guy off his feet. The guy fell hard onto the logs which were now gaining speed.
Conan watched in amusement as the guy struggled to keep himself and all his appendages on the two speeding roller-logs. Suddenly he had a EUREKA! moment.
He watched excitedly as he realized how efficiently the rollers kept on turning while also carrying the guy with ease. In the end the guy crashed into a large boulder outcrop and was killed but, the Sumerian's idea was already developed in his mind.
Rushing back to his work companions, he commanded them to cut down the biggest, roundest tree they could find, then to cut the trunk into slices one hands width each. This they quickly did. He then told them to cut holes in the center of each, large enough to take the diameter of current log rollers they were using, and with a little room to allow the circular strips to rotate. He told then to place pegs each side to prevent these strips from moving horizontally.
When done, Conan then showed them how his new 'wheels' would help them move the huge rocks.
He fixed a wheel to two of the rolling logs, one each side, this formed two axles, (Although Conan never knew that was what they were to eventually destined to be called.) Placing the two, wheeled axles, 6ft apart, he then ordered planks of rough cut timbers to be joined together, this was then laid into the space between the two axles and fixed to them securely.
Now here was Conan's idea... he took slaves and oxen from the local village and tied them in gangs along ropes which he fixed to his new "Conanmobile'. He and his friends would 'ride' on the new, wheeled contraption. Then he stretched ropes from the contraption to the huge rock. He then commanded the slaves/oxen forward.
Everyone was amazed how much easier it was for them to "Ride" along and even sleep while the rocks was hauled back to his mud-hut village. The wheel had been invented!
Note: It took another generation before someone decided it may be a good idea to place the rock on the"Conanmobile"...

yeah thats why Asia got the highest no of polluting cars and vehicles...
I'm surprised he didn't cut up some smaller logs to make a set of pistons for an engine to power the Conan Mobile?

really? it took a whole GENERATION to realize it could be used for CARGO. I think his mental prowess aside, that would be a task too large even for Conan!

I like the bit where your story illustrates the brainy side of Conan...too many people think he was just brawn and quippy sayings.

The Richmond Tennis Association (RTA) recently recognized patrons, players and institutions for their contributions to tennis in Richmond at its biennial Richmond Tennis Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Inductees to the Class of 2011 are Fred Bruner, Junie Chatman, Bitsy Harrison, Gayle H. Marlowe (posthumously), Lindsay Wortham and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield. To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, candidates must have at least ten years of distinct tennis involvement in the capital city area. While any nomination is accepted, an RTA committee makes the final selection, and it is based upon two categories of recognition: players, in which case the honor is based on records of outstanding competitive achievements with consideration to sportsmanship and character, and non-players, which focuses on individuals and entities making outstanding contributions via length of service, support and/or dedication to the sport. The latter category is designed to include volunteers, sponsors, coaches, umpires, writers and others. The dinner's keynote speaker was Roy Emerson, a multiple Grand Slam winner.

"Stirling - Historic Old Scotland" Top 5 Page for this destination Stirling by stevezero
Stirling Travel Guide: 281 reviews and 856 photos
Stirling is one of the most historic towns in Scotland, having gained its royal charter in 1226.
It straddles the main route north from the lowlands, at its narrowest point. It is for this reason that it has always had a strong strategic significance.
A castle was built early on the volcanic hill overlooking the modern town, and in medieval times it was a royal residence. A settlement followed on the Eastern hill near the castle.
The old town is a mixture of buildings from the 15th Century onwards, built in a manner of styles. The town though is still dominated by the mighty castle, perched high above on its rocky crag.
- Pros:Historic old buildings, atmospheric streets
- Cons:Gets busy
- In a nutshell:It's well on the tourist trail - a real must see!

I have skin that reacts to many things, but not this cream. I absolutely love it, it really smooths and calms my skin overnight - small wrinkles very noticably smooth out - it also has an effect on bigger creases. It's a little sticky to the feel but don't let that put you off.
A friend recommended this product and i fell in love with it the first moment I smelled it!! Smells gorgeous- rubs in easily and moisturises my dry skin very well. Try it!
I have combination/dry/sensitive skin and wanted a rich, natural cream that helps to moisturise my dry patches and not making my T-Zone oily.I have used this night cream a few times and it is absolutely stunning! Smells divine and is really rich and luxurious in texture but my skin absorbs it so quickly I have to be fast to massage it in. It leaves my skin feeling really smooth, soft and plump and gives a healthy glow the next day. I am in love and will never use anything else ever again!
The cream itself is wonderful, quite rich but works wonders on combination skin. However, it has a very strong and unpleasant acid smell, very strange given the ingredients and how lovely NYR products usually smell.
