Minnesota Senate Recount Headed into 2009
Susan Davis reports on politics.
When Congress reconvenes Jan. 6, Minnesota will be down one senator as the disputed race between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Sen. Norm Coleman is unlikely to be resolved before then.
Franken holds a razor-thin double digit lead over Coleman, who suffered a set back Wednesday when the state Supreme Court ruled 5-0 against a bid by Coleman to prevent local canvassing boards to count votes that his camp believes may have been counted twice.
Secretary of State Mark Ritchie told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that there is no way the seat will be filled this year. "We are not in any way guided by any Washington consideration, timeline," Ritchie told the paper.
A spokesman for Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty told the paper on Wednesday that the governor had not consulted yet with the state attorney general over whether or not he would move to fill the temporary vacancy, although it appeared unlikely. "…our office has looked at this and it appears the governor only has the authority to appoint in the case of a permanent vacancy and this situation likely wouldn't apply," the spokesman said. The state canvassing board is scheduled to meet next on the recount Dec. 30.
Minnesota is not the only state with Senate woes.
In Illinois, President-elect Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat has become a focal point in the corruption investigation against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is accused of using pay-to-play tactics to appoint a successor.
Blagojevich still holds the authority to appoint a successor, although his attorney indicated he wouldn't and state legislators have begun impeachment proceedings. But it remains unclear how the seat will be filled—and whether it will also be vacant when Congress reconvenes in January.
New York Gov. David Paterson is facing a different kind of political headache as Caroline Kennedy's jockeying for Sen. Hillary Clinton's Senate seat has ignited a debate among New York Democrats about her qualifications against someone like state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is also interested. Clinton will vacate the seat after she is confirmed as secretary of state.
In Colorado, Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter will also have to appoint a senator to serve out Sen. Ken Salazar's term, who Obama tapped to serve as Interior secretary.
Delaware has provided the least amount of Senate intrigue as Democratic Gov. Ruth Ann Minner already announced her appointment of Ted Kaufman, a long-time aide to Vice President-elect Joe Biden, to serve out the term until 2010.

March is a great time to get pumpkins planted. Many need 100 or more days in the ground to produce a crop that is harvestable. Choose your seeds wisely, and spend some times combing through the many different types of pumpkins that are available. The following list is short at just five varieties. Later in the fall and during Halloween many people wish they had grown their own pumpkins. Now is the time to set that plan into motion. Each variety below has a Buy Seeds Here Link that reach out to three different nurseries. Explore each nursery to find exactly which types of pumpkins you want to grow. The following is a list of affordable organic gardening pumpkin options that will help you rock the party. You can easily grow them in your organic garden.
1. Turks Cap or Turban
The Turks Cap also known as Turban, comes in various color choices. It can be found in green, white, red and orange color combinations. It can trace its origin to France. It has a maturity time of about 90 days. This is a brightly colored orange pumpkin with an odd multi-stripped top that looks like a smaller striped pumpkin is melting into another pumpkin. It is great for Halloween as it can be used to enhance a standard Jack-O-Lantern. This pumpkin is available in a normal size of up to 8 pounds or as a mini pumpkin that is2-3 pounds. It is of a recommendable size and weight and will do well in any organic garden. Buy regular size seeds HERE or mini seeds Here.
2. Kentucky Knucklehead
A bright orange pumpkin with green warts. It is quite striking and makes a wonderful Jack-O-Lantern. Add other pumpkins the carving process to create something fierce. It weighs up to 16 pounds. Plant it early as it takes about 105-110 days to mature. It is a popular site in an organic garden anywhere. Buy Seeds Here:
3. Chicago Warted Hubbard
It owes its development to Chicago's Budlong Gardens. It was officially introduced into the market by Vaughans Seed Store in the 1890s. It weighs 13 lbs and is extensively wrinkled, but one can easily make out its green color. The surface is covered in warts which makes an excellent squash to carve for Halloween. If you like squash, then we recommend mixing this squash with regular pumpkin in your pumpkin pies. Mmm, now that's good! Buy seeds here:
4. Jack Be Little
It is tiny with a weight of 8 ounces. They grow excellent on a trellis. But it's cute and unmistakably delicious. It is common in areas that embrace organic gardening, and it makes for a top sale, especially in the fall season. As an open pollination pumpkin it is easy to grow and fertilize. Expect to harvest fruit in about 90 days. The top is shiny orange perhaps an indication of the sweet flesh inside. The Thais use it as an offering to their spirits. These cute little pumpkins are excellent for Halloween or in a Fall or Thanksgiving center piece. Buy Seeds Here:
5. Connecticut Field
The Connecticut Field is said to be hundreds of years old and is associated with the Indians and New England Settlers. It weighs approximately 20 lbs and can be used mainly for pies. The traditional Americans used to find pleasure in the sweetness of this heirloom pumpkin. It grows in a variety of oval and makes an excellent Jack-o-Lantern Buy Seeds Here:
As seen, organic gardening can be used to get the most out of Halloween. By using the above suggested pumpkins, you experience will never be the same again. Make a point to have plenty of them in your organic garden. In addition to pumpkins you can also plant gourds. Gourds are odd creations to say the least.
Growing Pumpkins and Squash
Pumpkins and squash are easy to grow here in Sacramento. They do well here in the hot summer weather and have always produced bumper crops.
Dahlia and Pumpkins
Pumpkins need to pollinated by bumblebees and or carpenter bees. Because the diameter of the blossom is so wide it takes a larger bee to pollinate the blossom. Dahlias make great flowers for bumblebees and carpenter bees as their larger size helps to support the bee.
Space is a must for pumpkins
Pumpkins and winter squash take a up a lot of space. If you are going to grow a variety of pumpkins you may have to prune them back as they will take over the garden.
Pumpkins are part of Fall
Choosing and planting your pumpkins in the next month will allow the plants to grow and produce high quality pumpkins. Thinking now about Fall harvest is a great way to have a winning crop of pumpkins come Halloween.
Growing Pumpkins
Pumpkins take up a lot of room. Plant them where they can sprawl. If you want to grow super large pumpkins a good tip is to choose 1-3 pumpkins per plant and then remove all of the other pumpkins as they form. Doing so will force the plant to put all of it's energy into producing those 1-3 pumpkins.
Smaller Pumpkins
Smaller pumpkins and gourds can be trellised. Pumpkins will grow a stem that will support their weight. However, don't try to trellis large pumpkins. Even a 10 pounder can inflict damage if it falls on you.
Flowers and Pumpkins
Use flowers around your garden to help the pollinators find food. The more pollinators that you can attract the better your crop harvest will be. Flowers help other plants, and they are a joy to have in the garden.
Color, eatable, and fun
Pumpkins are actually nice to look at when they are growing. Some of the more irregular varieties are both odd and beautiful. Pumpkins are also good eating. They work well with pets and kids too.
Signs of Fall
Halloween is a wonderful holiday. One of my favorite times of year. It is also a time when the dragonflies are out in full force and that for me is a sign that fall is coming soon.
Sunflowers and Pumpkins
Few things can survive the onslaught of pumpkins. Sunflowers are one plant that does just fine amid a pumpkin patch. If you want to grow sunflowers along with your pumpkins just keep an eye out for wondering tendrils that might pull down thesunflowers.
Think Big
This is my community garden at the end of harvest. Most of what you see growing are tomatoes, but that entire area was covered in pumpkins too. Think big when you grow your own pumpkins. They like a lot of room.
Most bees do not make great pumpkin pollinators. This little Halictid bee is far too small to do a great job on the giant pumpkin flowers. Larger flowers attract bigger bees which means a better pumpkin harvest.

Essential Beginner's Guide to Yoga Practice
Summary: A beginner guide for those who are new to the world of yoga. This guide details the 3 most essential guidelines for doing yoga exercises, as well as lists the other important requirements you should know before starting your practice.
Although there is tons of information on Mastery of Meditation on yoga, I wanted to glean some of the most important information and compile it here for those of you who are beginners or new to yoga practice. This quick reference guide applies to all of you who are just starting your yoga practice and is independent of the type of yoga you are taking up.
Three Essential Guidelines for How to Practice Yoga:
Yoga is not just a series of exercises, poses or movements. As I have pointed out in the article Comprehensive Guide to the World of Meditation, yoga is a type of body meditation. It is meditation in motion. For you to extract maximum benefit from your yoga practice, these three key elements must never by forgotten.
1. Do Yoga Exercises With Full Awareness:
Try to be as aware as possible of every posture and movement you are making during your practice. Check throughout your yoga session, as to where your mind is, and if it has wandered away, gently bring it back and focus again on the poses and the breathing. This is the number one requirement of doing yoga, regardless of whether you are just a beginner yogi or a yoga master.
In addition, if certain feelings or energies awaken within you, bring your attention to them and observe them taking their course as you move through your practice.
2. Never Over Strain When Practicing Yoga:
As the requirement above, this guideline also applies to both beginner yoga practitioners as well as advanced yogis. When doing my yoga teacher's training course, what surprised me quite a bit, was how often these seasoned yogis were getting injured. Yoga is a journey, it is be enjoyed and the sights and sounds taken in, it is not a competition.
If you are just beginning your practice, you need to give yourself time to gauge your capacity and limits. So start off erring in the side of caution, rather than being over zealous. Learn to listen to your body. As you start to better understand your body and energy, you can start to explore your limits further and increase the challenge you place before yourself. That being said, even as your yoga expertise develops, never forget this important rule and overdo it.
3. Yoga & Breathing Go Hand In Hand:
Don't forget to breathe! There are 2 aspects of breathing which every beginner yogi should be cognizant of.
First, yoga poses and exercises, generally have some breathing pattern associated with them. This breath component of the yoga posture should not be ignored. The breathing plays a very important role in yoga and in order to get the most out of your yoga practice, employ the correct breathing along with the movement.
Second, pranayama, or the science of expanding and controlling prana (chi/life-force) is a key aspect of yoga and should be an integral part of your yoga practice. So, in addition to developing your physical yoga practice, be sure to also develop your expertise in pranayama. As a beginner, make sure you start off gently, as pranayama is a very powerful science and make steady progress over time.
One final word about yoga breathing. Your breath can be a good anchor to help you retain your awareness when your mind is wondering. So it can go a long way in helping you with meeting the requirement of mindfulness, explained in guideline #1 above.
Other General Guidelines for Beginner Yoga Practitioners:
Having detailed the essential guidelines above, I will provide a bullet list below of some other general guidelines for the beginner yoga enthusiast to reference.
- Don't eat a big meal at least 2-3 hours before your yoga practice.
- Wear comfortable exercise or other loose clothing so your movements are not restricted.
- Try to do your yoga practice early in the morning if possible.
- Make sure your yoga space is well ventilated.
- If you have medical conditions, select your yoga exercises accordingly.
- Drink plenty of water after practice to wash out toxins released by the yoga sets.
- It is fine to use yoga props to help you, such as blocks, blankets, cushions etc.
- It is fine to use music while practicing yoga, but not during silent meditation.
- If you find a great yoga teacher, awesome, if you don't, use your inner guru to guide you.
- If is recommended to start and end your yoga practice with a prayer to the Lord.
The most important requirement in order to benefit from yoga, is to do your practice. So jump in and start your journey, everyone is welcome.

Hugh Jackman's gorgeous hair has walked the plank. The actor had to shave his mane for a movie role, but fans are not happy that the bald superhero star now looks more like Professor X than Wolverine.
According to a June 11 report by the Irish Examiner, Hugh's fans were devastated when he unveiled his shiny new dome on Instagram. One upset follower wrote, "Uh excuse me plz tell me this is fake (sic)." Unfortunately for that baldist, Hugh's lack of hair is the real deal. He let his fans know why he had to let his hair go by writing, "Blackbeard is born. #PAN. (sic)."
Hugh Jackman is set to play the legendary pirate Blackbeard in "Pan," a movie about the origins of the boy who refused to grow up. This new twist on the fairy tale is set during World War 2. Peter Pan (Levi Miller) is an orphan who gets kidnapped by pirates. he gets whisked away to Neverland, where he'll face off against Blackbeard. Garrett Hedlund stars as a Hook who is nothing like the Disney movie baddie. Instead of being Blackbeard's evil equal, Hook starts out as Peter Pan's pal. Amanda Seyfried plays Mary (her character might be Wendy's mother), and Rooney Mara is the head-scratching choice for the Tiger Lily role.
We're used to seeing Blackbeard portrayed as your typical hairy pirate. Ian McShane rocked a matted mane to play the marauder in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," and Charles Mesure also rocked long locks as Blackbeard in the "Once Upon a Time" TV series. However, it looks like we're seeing a new pirate hair trend in Hollywood. John Malkovich is currently playing Blackbeard on the NBC TV series "Crossbones," and he's also sporting a bald head (he and Hugh Jackman should really consider getting together to swap swashbuckling stories, and Malkovich should convince him to try that crazy corsair headache cure that involves pushing needles into the skull).
The bald look makes sense for a pirate if you stop and think about it. They spent weeks at a time on ships without access to bathtubs, and there's no telling what kind of pests infested their vessels. Hugh Jackman and John Malkovich are probably just trying to avoid getting fleas, ticks, and lice. Are you a fan of the bald pirate look, or do miss Johnny Depp's mangy, mangled mane?

Phil Spencer has reflected on the DRM controversy surrounding Microsoft Studios, the publisher of the upcoming tentatively-titled "Halo 5." According to a report from The Escapist Magazine on April 8, the new head of the Xbox brand admitted that he was personally hurt by what occurred in the past.
Microsoft Studios originally intended to add digital right management practices for all Xbox One games. As a result, players would have to sign in to Xbox Live over a period time in order to authenticate the purchase. After a huge backlash from the gaming community, the company decided to drop all of the initial DRM features.
Phil Spencer stated that they could have done a better job at communicating some of the benefits of using online authentication, while defending that his company built "Xbox for the right reasons." You can take a look at his full statement regarding the situation below:
I believe in why this company builds products. It's one of the reasons why the whole thing around last summer with Xbox kind of hurt me personally so much...Because I know we build Xbox for the right reasons. We didn't completely communicate it the right way; some of the decisions maybe didn't land or weren't the right decisions and we changed some of those. But this is a company that has the resources to really do things that change the world.
Due to several missteps, the Xbox One is currently lagging behind the competing PS4 next-generation system from a sales perspective. However, the company does have several major plans coming up, especially for E3 2014.
According to IGN, Microsoft will be making several announcements related to the "Halo" brand. Several reported leaks suggested that one of the reveals will be a remastered port of the official Xbox video game, "Halo 2."
"Halo 5" is an exclusive release for the Xbox One although a release date has not yet been revealed by the publisher. The voice actor of Master Chief may have let slipped that the fifth main installment of the series won't be arriving until sometime next year. However, an alleged insider mentioned that a multiplayer beta for "Halo 5" may be included in the Xbox One version of "Halo 2." The new console officially launched in North America on Nov. 22 last year, selling more than 3 million units as of the end of 2013.

FRESNO, Calif.- Head coach Brian Zwaschka announced Monday that he is bringing aboard Sean Steele as an assistant coach on the Fresno State soccer team as they enter into their 2014 season.
"I'm truly pleased that Sean has decided to move his family across the country to join us here in California, and we will all certainly look forward to helping them get settled and integrated, Zwaschka said.
With more than 15 years of experience, Zwaschka feels as if Steele is the missing link that the Bulldogs need. His past experience includes assisting at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh before he became the head coach for both the men's and women's soccer teams at Nebraska Wesleyan for the past three seasons.
"Sean has been dedicated to success everywhere he has been to success everywhere he has been and has diligently worked to develop his teams and his own coaching in each instance," Zwaschka states. "His determination and appetite for work are evident. His current and relevant experience, dedication to development, his background in technology and education, and his professional ambitions all aligned with my expectations very clearly in the selection process."
Steele's primary responsibilities will include all aspects of preparation for performance included in team training and tracking player development. Steele will also assist with team travel, recruiting, camps, community relations, video and scouting, amongst other program performance and operations duties.
"Sean is organized, professional, and concise, which is what I require, and his approach with his ideas is thoughtful," Zwaschka says. "He will undoubtedly hit the ground running and I am confident his influence in the coming season and future seasons alike will be invaluable in support of my vision for where this program can go. This is a special time in our program's history, and along with Lauren and our other excellent support staff, Sean can be a big part of shaping it."
Catch the `Dogs and newly assembled coaching staff in action on Friday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. as they face the Eastern Washington Eagles right here at Bulldog stadium.
"Be Bold!" - The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

Hong Kong Bartenders Shake Things Up
Hong Kong's top mixologists were put to the test this week at the 5th Hong Kong Bartender Tournament, where 15 finalists battled it out in a public competition.
Jason Ho Kai-ho, 26 years old, emerged victorious for a cocktail named "Ron Barceló Grandmother" — the brand of rum he used and in honor of his own grandmother, who died shortly before the competition.
"The best cocktail is made by the heart," said Mr. Ho, a bartender at Langham Place Hotel's whiskey bar and the second runner-up in last year's competition.
To compete, professional and amateur bartenders were tasked with preparing original cocktails in front of an audience at the Plaza Hollywood mall.
"The time limit is scary," said insurance agent and participant Kenneth Law. "You have to get your inspiration, think about what you're going to put into it — balance the drink. A lot of preparation goes into making a new cocktail."
Judges evaluated the drinks' taste, flavor and appearance, as well as the contestants' behavior, including their presentation and politeness. "This one was refreshing and on the sweet side," said judge George Chai of Mr. Ho's winning creation.
Along with the title, Mr. Ho received a trip for two to the Dominican Republic, where Ron Barceló, the tournament's main sponsor, is based, and a check for 3,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$385).
Bartender organizations say that Hong Kong could see a sharp increase in demand for cocktails and skilled bartenders under a government proposal that would impose fees on glass bottles to cover recycling costs. They said the price of bottled beer would increase 5% to 10% if the proposal passes.
Mr. Chai, who also leads the Hong Kong Bar and Club Association, said he expects the proportion of drinks that are cocktails to increase as the cost of buying bottles rises.
Hong Kong Cocktail School Project Director Chin Chun-wing said the proposed legislation would increase demand for well-educated and experienced bartenders.
Here's what Mr. Ho put into his winning drink:
2 ounces of three-year-old Ron Barceló Añejo
1/3 ounce of Nordpol peach liqueur
1/3 ounce of Sanz violet syrup
1 ounce of cranberry juice

Let $A$ be a $n \times m$ matirx and $B$ a $m \times m$ matrix as they are all real-valued. Then does it hold $$ \det ( ( A^{T}A ) ( B^T B ) ) = \det ( (AB)^T (AB) ) $$ in general?
Do I prove this by mere use of transposition and the property of determinants? If there is a major trick in the proof of it, could you let me know?

Sky Bet League One monthly awards
Kenny Jackett and James Henry have both been nominated in the Sky Bet League One monthly awards for October, announced this morning.
Head Coach Jackett is among the nominees for the Manager of the Month award just as he was in August with Henry among the quartet battling for the Player of the Month accolade.
Jackett guided Wolves to an unbeaten month, taking ten points from four games, the only two dropped coming against a Coventry side whose manager Steven Pressley is also nominated having led the Sky Blues to 13 points from their five fixtures.
Leaders Leyton Orient's manager Russell Slade is also in the running, with the pacesetters taking 10 points from five outings, as is Graham Westley, who masterminded a Stevenage revival which saw them register three victories.
Henry meanwhile made an impressive impact in his first month on loan from Millwall.
He followed up an assist in the 3-0 win at Colchester with goals of his own against Oldham and Bradford and was one of Wolves' key figures during the month.
Henry is up against Coventry's midfielder Carl Baker, MK Dons striker Patrick Bamford and Peterborough goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik for the award.
The winners will be revealed on Friday.

I give it a laugh because you squeezed all the possible humor out of the situation, but it's still a grim topic.

A day after New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony opted out of his contract to become a free agent, LeBron James has decided to test the free agent market. USA TODAY Sports reports Tuesday that James' agent, Rich Paul, has informed the Miami Heat of his client's decision to opt out of his contract and become a free agent on July 1.
The decision doesn't mean LeBron James will leave the Heat, but it does put the pressure on Heat president Pat Riley to win a recruiting war for the services of King James once again. James was set to earn $20.5 million next season on the contract. If he decides to remain in Miami, he may have to be willing to take a pay cut, especially if it involves keeping the big three in tact and possibly bringing in another big name.
Other teams believed to be in pursuit of LeBron are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks. The New York Knicks could be a possibility if they can persuade Melo to come back and perhaps lure another big name player. A return to the Heat seems to be the more likely route for James.
LeBron initially had till June 30 to make his decision. By deciding to opt out of his contract earlier than expected, he gives the Heat and other teams time to clear up some cap space and present the best possible situation for him. The four-time NBA MVP will be out to avenge a NBA Finals loss to the San Antonio Spurs. It will be an interesting summer in the NBA with players like Melo, LeBron and Kevin Love available. Wherever these players end up may change the entire landscape of the NBA.

Makeup Tips for Dark Skin
Thursday, March 12, 2009 | Tips & How-Tos, application tips
The key to applying makeup to very tan or dark skin tones is to play with matte and shiny colour to highlight certain features and play down others. Here are a few simple beauty tips from Pür Minerals to help you create a gorgeous look in minutes.
Avoid using liquid foundations and oil-based powders, which can make your face appear shiny. Instead, use a pressed formula foundation in a shade that matches your skin tone to help give your complexion that flawless, matte look. 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup—Pür Minerals oil-free foundation, powder and concealer with SPF 15—provides maximum coverage and a smooth, even skin tone in 10 colour-correct shades. Click here to determine your 4-in-1 shade.
Highlight cheekbones with a blush in rich, earthy tones like mauve or dusty pink. Designed to
complement all skin tones, Pür Minerals new Universal Marble Powder in Spice combines pigments of cinnamon, copper and pearl works especially well with tan- to dark-complected women of color.
Eye shadows in hues of gold, bronze and burgundy are perfect for accentuating the eyes. You may also want to try softer notes of amber and rose. A little shimmer will look lovely, but steer clear of too-bright tones or pastels that will look iridescent against dark skin. For a chic, natural look, try an eyeliner pencil in a deep, brown shade, such as 3-in-1 Universal Pencil in Cocoa Topaz. This gorgeous, chocolate hue lines and defines eyes, lips and brows all in one.
Skip the red, orange or bright pink lipsticks and glosses, they will wash you out. Nude pinks and beiges, pearl and honey tints and deep, berry shades all look great with dark skin and dark hair. Here are a few of our favorite lip colours for dark skin: Mineral Shea Butter Lipsticks in Cocoa Quartz, Black Amethyst and Bronze and Pout Plumping Lip Glosses in Pearl Crème, Copper Canyon and Golden Calcite.

The resident of the house stated the housekeeper was the only person with access to the otherwise secure home at the time of the theft, which was reported in December, according to a police statement.
The suspect denied any involvement and was released after questioning several weeks ago, but was arrested Wednesday after further investigation by Dothan police. Police said several of the missing items have been recovered.
Tammy Cornog, 40, of Opel Road, was arrested and charged with first-degree theft of property. Bond was set at $30,000.
The case remains open and investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Dothan Police Department or Investigator Cook by calling 334-615-4655.

I looked at my calendar and realized that six months have flown by and we are now approaching the extended deadline for authors to opt out of the Google Book Search settlement. You have until Sept. 4, 2009 to decide whether or not to remain in the class action suit brought by the Author's Guild and the American Association of Publishers.
If you are the author of a book published prior to Jan. 5, 2009 and you take no action, you will be included in the settlement and will be bound by its terms. If you wish to file an objection to the settlement you also must do so prior to Sept. 4, 2009. If you want to remain in the suit and want to receive payment for books Google uses, you must claim them by Jan. 5. 2010. Here's the link to the the page on Google's official site where you can make your wishes known.
Google Book Search Settlement Notice to Rights-holders - Books & Inserts Registry.
And here's their FAQ.
A recap: In September 2005 the Author's Guild and the American Association of Publishers sued Google for copyright infringement, because Google was scanning and making searchable books, mainly academic texts from libraries. The scanned pages included advertising. The lawsuit was granted class-action status. Three years later Google settled with the Author's Guild and the AAP in an agreement worth 125 million dollars. The agreement establishes a Book Rights Registry to collect proceeds from the display of the books and apportion the funds to the rights holders.
I blogged about all of this last spring. I think the deal is rotten, largely because there is no oversight of the Book Rights Registry, and no avenue that I can see for authors and their representatives to negotiate their rate of payment, but also because it gives Google a virtual monopoly on the electronic display of out of print books. That's my opinion. I urge all authors with books published prior to Jan. 5, 2009 to educate themselves about the settlement and what it means for them. Remember, just because you don't know about it and/or don't do anything about it does not make your work exempt from the terms of the settlement. (And that may be the part that infuriates me most of all. It's in direct conflict with the principle that copyright is inherent. But I'm not going to go off on a rant again like I did before. Really.)
Currently, the Justice Department is investigating the settlement. The Internet Archive has asked Amazon, Microsoft and Yahoo! to join it in urging the Justice Department to oppose the settlement, and apparently they have, citing that it would hamper competition on the marketplace. Attorney and author Scott Gant of Boies Schiller & Flexner is also opposing the settlement, on the grounds that the use of class action in this case represents an abuse of the process and that authors are not fairly compensated in the agreement or adequately notified of it.
The William Morris Agency has recommended its clients opt out of the agreement. The National Writer's Union and American Society of Journalists and Authors have also objected to it. But the settlement has many defenders as well, including the National Federation of the Blind, the Association of Independent California Colleges, and Sony.
