To enhance the employment of young persons with disabilities or early signs of mental illness through proactive training
To provide wage subsidy to employers, especially those who have no experience in employing young persons with disabilities or early signs of mental illness, so as to encourage them to offer job vacancies for young persons with disabilities to try out the work abilities
Persons with disabilities or early signs of mental illness as assessed by psychiatrist and aged between 15 and 29 who are in need of employment training, job attachment, support and assistance to secure a job in the open market
The service operators will provide job-related counselling services to address participants' needs.
180 hours of employment training should be provided to each trainee. The training courses could cover the areas as follows -
job-related personal skills, such as self-confidence training, interviewing skills, communication skills, social skills, interpersonal skills, emotional control, etc.;
orientation visits to vocational rehabilitation service units, social firms and private business organisations to prepare them for future job attachment;
specific job-related skills such as computer skills, job-related English, printing, catering, selling and retailing, cleaning and car beauty service, etc.
The service operators will arrange job attachment for each participant. During the job attachment period, which is not more than three months, the participants who can fulfill the required attendance will have the job attachment allowance of $2,000 per month.
After completing the job attachment, the participants will be assisted to find suitable job or job trial in the open market.
There is no employer-employee relationship between participants and organisations that provide job attachment opportunities.
To encourage employers to employ young persons with disabilities, employers can try out work abilities of the participants through job trial. During the job trial period, employers will receive a wage subsidy equal to 50% of the actual wage paid to the participants with a ceiling of $4,000 a month, whichever is the lower, for a maximum period of six months.
The participants under job trial should enjoy the status of employees and are entitled to the normal employment benefits as defined under the Employment Ordinance, the Minimum Wage Ordinance, etc.
Job trial may be skipped if the participants could secure an employment after the job attachment.
No less than 6 months of post-placement service is provided to the participants to help them settle in employment.
Young persons with disabilities or referrers may approach the service operators directly for intake assessment.
Employers who would like to offer job vacancies may contact the service operators directly. The service operators will identify the most suitable candidates for the employers.
Please contact the service operators or the Rehabilitation and Medical Social Services Branch of the Social Welfare Department at 2892 5156 or 2892 5147.
There is no employer-employee relationship between the service operators and the participants.

Perhaps aware that Rolling Stone could help raise his profile, McChrystal half-jokingly urges Hastings to go big with the piece.
Given the distrust the military has for the press, it is surprising to see how laissez-faire the general is with Hastings.
Hastings says a part of him felt compelled to compose a story that McChrystal and his staff would like.
Hastings was killed in a fiery late-night car crash in Los Angeles in June.
Yet what such onlookers failed to grasp," writes Hastings, "was the complicity…of the sexual power games.
Your Lordships will judge by that last act of Mr. Hastings what the rest of his whole life was.
General Hastings expresses the opinion that more troops are necessary.
"No; not threats," Hastings answered him in a voice that was cold as ice.
It is in that freight depot that Adjutant General Hastings has his headquarters.
During the previous debates, Burke had not been idle with his impeachment of Hastings.
Old English Hæstingas "The Hastings; settlement of the family or followers of a man called *Hæsta;" literally "Hæsta's People."
The Hæstingas were an important tribal group referred to in an 8th cent. Northumbrian chronicle as the gens Hestingorum which seems to have kept a separate identity as late as the early 11th cent. ["Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names"]

US to Palestinians: Kotel has Jewish significance
The Obama administration has rejected the controversial claim by a Palestinian official that there is no Jewish connection to the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Last week Palestinian Authority minister Al-Mutawakil Taha said in a report that "this wall has never been a part of what is called the Jewish Temple.
"It was Islamic tolerance which allowed the Jews to stand before it and cry over its loss."
Mr Taha said his view was the official Palestinian position. His comments caused outcry in Israel and now a spokesman for the US state department, PJ Crowley, has condemned them.
Mr Crowley described the claim as "factually incorrect, insensitive and highly provocative."
"We have repeatedly raised with the Palestinian Authority leadership the need to consistently combat all forms of delegitimisation of Israel, including denying historic Jewish connections to the land."
He said that the status of Jerusalem "must be resolved in final status negotiations between the parties," and added: "We recognise that Jerusalem is a deeply important issue to Israelis and Palestinians, to Jews, to Muslims and to Christians everywhere."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am fostering two Siamese cats who are sisters and 12 years old. They found me when their owner passed away. The family was going to put them down and I couldn't bear it. However, I travel for work and am unable to give these two lovable cats the attention they need. They were used to having someone around a lot and being on laps. I would love to find them a permanent home. They are tolerant of my two pugs, however, I'm sure they'd be happier if they didn't have to have the pugs around. Both cats are affectionate and love food! I live in West Chester, OH.
Many Thanks,
Siamese Sisters-West Chester, a Fairborn Siamese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Fairborn, or seeking a Siamese cat from a breeder in Fairborn.

Revered jazz DJ China Valles won't let a little pink slip keep him from spinning his magic over the airwaves. As long as his blood is pumping, the 74-year-old "Mahj" (short for Maharajah Purveyor of Swirls, as Duke Ellington named him) says he'll keep the jazz beat thumping in Miami. After 24 years playing classic bop, blues, and fusion overnight at WTMI-FM (91.3), Valles was told last summer that his show no longer fit the format of the newly acquired classical music station. Valles, however, was not ready to put his huge collection of vinyl and CDs away for good. "What am I going to do, go to the beach?" the veteran DJ chuckles. "Music is my love; it's my life." He describes the loss of his late-night date as "a kick in the pants," but it wasn't enough to keep him down. Valles approached stations Love 94 (WLVE-FM 93.9) and WLRN-FM (91.3) for a steady time slot but got no commitments. When WDNA music director Arturo Gomez-Cruz heard Miami's sagacious jazz messenger was looking for a job, he immediately included him in the station's eclectic round-the-clock programming. Valles won his Friday afternoon (2:00 to 6:00 p.m.) gig, which he gladly accepted without pay, last December. Using a well-established format, he kicks off each show with upbeat instrumentals before sliding into his "What's New at Two" segment, featuring the latest releases. He then mixes things up with a featured-artist set, a blues hour, and wraps with swinging tracks to keep listeners bopping into the evening. Valles began his musical career as the road manager for saxophonist Jean-Baptiste "Illinois" Jacquet in the Fifties. He's met and interviewed musical giants such as Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Frank Sinatra. He arrived in South Florida in 1963 to head an upstart jazz station and had been on the airwaves continuously ever since, that is until WTMI showed him the door. Still the Mahj and his devotees are thrilled to hear his show resurrected on the far left side of the radio dial. Gruff voice full of whimsy and charm, Valles is a well-worn local treasure.
Theatergoers found a lot of reasons to dislike Paul Tei this season. He played a cold-blooded child killer in New Theatre's Never the Sinner and a hot-blooded serial killer in GableStage's Popcorn. But he is so good at being bad that you can't really hold it against him. Tei is the kind of actor who looks at a role not only as an opportunity to perform but also as an opportunity to create a role. Consequently he can portray several different degenerates, and his performances never overlap. As Wayne, the gun-toting redneck in Popcorn, Tei kept us riveted to our seats -- appalled and laughing. As Richard Loeb, a wealthy young Chicago man who, along with his lover, kills a young boy on a Nietzsche-inspired whim, he was equally appalling. But Tei never let audiences simply dislike his characters. With his willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of character definition, he could make Ted Bundy funny. For example, in Never the Sinner, he dared to play this insolent, arrogant murderer as childlike and capricious -- clubbing a kid in the head one moment and going out for hot dogs the next. Tei's topnotch acting transformed these two good plays into excellent ones.
An actor's success in a dramatic role can fall into one of two categories: the ability to make the unbelievable believable, and the ability to make the believable unbelievably incredible. Bridget Connors managed to do both in her role as a young Jewish woman dying of a terminal illness. That's the believable part. Rachel's plight easily could have been a case study in Harold S. Kushner's book When Bad Things Happen to Good People. She expressed all the predictable emotions and asked all the right metaphysical questions. The not-so-believable part is the conversion experience she had, which was facilitated by her sister, a devout member of the Christian Science faith. Believable or unbelievable, Connors brought something magical to the role from the moment she stepped onstage. Her ability to be simultaneously earthy and ethereal left theatergoers feeling as though they were seeing a tragedy for the first time.
Let's give it up, finally, for the Big Dog, Joe Rose. The former Miami Dolphin wide receiver is as close to a Miami sports institution as we have at this time, at least since Dan Marino and Don Shula have retired. Hard to believe in a way. Rose hardly distinguished himself as an athlete. (His greatest claim to fame, which he'll gladly tell you about, is catching Marino's first touchdown pass.) But as a broadcaster Rose has developed into a welcome, humorous personality, the ex-jock with a soft spot for the underdog. In his appearances on WQAM, on WTVJ-TV (Channel 6), and hosting numerous charity roasts, Rose plays the doofus, willingly attracting abuse from his co-workers, especially his linemates on the First Team, WQAM's very listenable morning sports-talk show. Clearly, though, Rose is no idiot. Compared with other sports clowns, such as former Steeler QB Terry Bradshaw, we'll take the underdog every time.
With the closing of the Alliance Cinema on Lincoln Road, it looked as though this category would be consigned to the cultural graveyard. Conventional wisdom had it that nobody could withstand the gravitational pull of the multiplex. Besides that, it seemed as if an audience for art movies simply didn't exist in Miami -- or didn't exist in large-enough numbers to make financial ends meet. But that didn't deter Cesar Hernandez-Canton, Johnny Calderin, and Ray Garcia (also operators of the Absinthe House Cinematheque in Coral Gables). In January of this year they opened the 103-seat, nonprofit Mercury Theatre to high hopes if not huge crowds. Although the opening was a year later than planned, the delay actually may have worked in their favor. Their hopes of riding the entrepreneurial wave in Miami's Upper Eastside created by restaurateur Mark Soyka were enhanced by giving Soyka (the restaurant) a chance to develop a following, which it has. With Soyka (the man) as landlord, Hernandez-Canton, Calderin, and Garcia remade an old warehouse adjacent to the restaurant, featuring amenities such as tables and chairs in the lobby, twenty-foot ceilings, unusual concession delicacies, and gallery space. Soyka installed a fountain outside and added more tables and chairs. Voila! An oasis was born. Films are screened twice nightly during the week. Matinees are added on the weekends. Yes, the movies don't change all that frequently, but it sure beats the only attractions formerly available in the neighborhood: streetwalkers and strip clubs.
In 1988 Ramon Cernuda presided over an auction of paintings held at the Cuban Museum of Art and Culture. The works were created by Cuban artists who had not broken with the Castro regime. The new owner of Manuel Mendive's Pavo Real promptly stepped outside and set it ablaze in the presence of cheering protesters. (Twice the museum was severely damaged by bombs.) A year later the feds accused Cernuda of purchasing Cuban art in violation of the embargo; they raided his Brickell Avenue condo and confiscated 240 paintings. A federal judge angrily denounced the seizure and ordered the works returned. Today the backsides of those paintings display U.S. Treasury/Customs Service seals, the same ones used to label intercepted drugs. Who would have thought that eleven years later, Cernuda would be opening an art gallery specializing in Cuban art from the island, smack in the middle of Coral Gables. This past fall Cernuda Arte made its debut with an exhibition of Cuban originals by masters such as Amelia Pelaez, Wifredo Lam, and Carlos Enriquez. Currently the gallery represents six working artists. Two of them, Demi and Sinuhé Vega, are based in Miami. The others create in Cuba. They are Flora Fong, Juan Roberto Diago, Alfredo Sosabravo, and Rigoberto Pelaez. "We are very open about what we do," Cernuda says. Boy, have times changed.

Keyo the baby zebra was special and the snow leopard was certainly cute, but the two sets of golden lion tamarins were clearly the best Denver Zoo babies, for a couple of reasons. First, they are soooo cute, and the parents, Rosy and Simao, look like fuzzy three-headed monkeys as they move around with their babies on board. Second, the tiny tamarins — fuzzy, long-tailed Brazilian primates — are highly endangered (there's only about 1,000 left), and the zoo has had a lot of success with them. In fact, there were two sets born — Annie and Alex on June 25, and two as-yet-unnamed babies on March 10 — which tripled the Denver population. Here's to the happy family.
Hot rod culture lives in Golden! From May until October, every first Saturday of the month, classic-car enthusiasts and John Milner wannabes roll up their sleeves and rev up their old cherry wheels to cruise up and down Golden Road. The action begins at 6 p.m. near an overcrowded Sonic Drive-In parking lot at 17191 South Golden Road; then, around 7:30, there's a group cruise into downtown Golden, with DJ Van Jeffries doing his Wolfman Jack from a van. Go on: Rediscover your inner Curt.
Hikes need not be relegated to weekends and vacations. What better way to de-stress after a long workday than by taking in a sunset on a brisk scenic walk? Alderfer/Three Sisters Park is close enough to get to in forty minutes and far enough to feel like an escape from the city. Part of the Jefferson County Open Space program, it's anchored by the rock formations known as the Three Sisters and The Brother, which overlook Bear Creek Basin. The park boasts over ten miles of trails, with most in the half- to two-mile range. Sisters, which weaves through large boulders for just over a mile, is the most strenuous. But keep your eyes open and leave the iPod at home, because it's a popular trail for mountain bikers, too.
Colorado hockey lovers were in a state of bliss when the Avalanche brought back icons Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote earlier this year. But because of their age, not to mention Forsberg's physical condition, neither can be considered long-term solutions for what ails the team — a fact reinforced in early March when both got hurt. Paul Stastny, in contrast, is the team's future. He's just 22 and looks about twelve, but he's developed into a prolific force around the net, leading the team in points, goals and assists despite his own stretch on injured reserve. Forsberg and Foote, as well as fellow elder Joe Sakic, who's also had some mending to do of late, will play a major part in determining how far the Avs go this season. As for Stastny, he'll be key in 2008 and hopefully for years to come.
Who needs sand and water when you've got snow and sunshine? The Beach at A-Basin is simply the place where snow meets parking lot, but it's become a legend in its own right. In years gone by, it was a venue for wild parties as people camped and tailgated overnight to get first tracks in the morning. It's said that people even pulled stunts like hiking up the mountain with a couch on skis. The scene has mellowed since then — you can't camp out anymore — but you can reserve a parking spot. So when spring comes, it's an idyllic place to pull in, turn up the stereo, set up your lawn chairs and grill, throw a couple of beers on ice — or snow — and spend a day at the beach.
During their glory days, the Broncos had plenty of players who were arguably the finest at their position in the NFL. Now they've got just one: Champ Bailey. Because of the Broncs' erratic, all-too-often anemic pass rush last season, the appropriately named Champ didn't rack up the interceptions he'd earned in years past. But he hasn't lost a step, and he remains a smart, instinctive defender, a vicious hitter and a role model for his teammates professionally and personally. As a bonus, he lured one of the team's most important off-season acquisitions: linebacker Boss Bailey, his talented younger brother. If there are any more Baileys like these two, send 'em over.

Valley Girl
A punk named Randy (Nicolas Cage) from the wrong side of the Hollywood Hills falls for Julie (Deborah Foreman), a mall-dwelling Valley Girl, and they begin a Romeo-and-Juliet-like romance -- that is, until peer pressure gets to Julie and she cuts things off. But love-struck Randy refuses to give up on Julie. Will he convince her that they're meant to be together? Martha Coolidge directs this satire on life in Southern California in the 1980s.

Arm tattoos are popular because the person can hide the tattoo with a shirt. They have the best of both worlds because they have a tattoo but during work it is hidden. Some people will say that if a person has a tattoo they should be proud of it and show it off. The basic premise is true but there are many jobs or careers that would frown on a tattoo. Imagine going to work on wall street in a suit with tattoos all over the neck. It makes it hard to even get some jobs.
Types of Arm Tattoos
People with arm tattoos usually get one that is either a badge of sorts like an eagle or shield, or a wrap around tattoo that takes advantage of the roundness for different artwork. An arm tattoo can be expensive especially if it is detailed. One type of arm tattoo that is popular with many young people is a tribal tattoo. Usually done in black ink it wraps around the arm above the elbow. Another popular arm tattoo is the barb wire tattoo. It's similar to the tribal work but is a single or sometimes double strand of wire wrapping the arm.
One thing that is sure to happen is that many of the younger generations will grow older and the tattoos will not be wanted or some of the hot tattoos won't be so hot later in life. Each generation wants to stand out and proclaim that they are different from everyone else. They look around and finally notice that they aren't so different because all of their peers are the same. It is a fact that many people won't want their tattoos for life because there is another industry that makes a lot of money removing tattoos. It is expensive to have removed and it hurts more removing the tattoo than it did putting it on. Think hard before deciding on an arm tattoo.

BGP As override
hello friends,
pls explain as-override feature in brief if possible please give me the example
Hello Sourabh,
neigh x.x.x.x as-override allows to a PE router to change the private ASN used by a CE node on an eBGP session running on a VRF access link.
the private ASN is changed in the PE ASN.
another CE node on another VRF (=connected to another PE node) will see the eBGP route coming from first site with an AS path of:
provider-ASN provider-ASN
instead of:
provider-ASN site1-ASN
this allows to use the same private ASN on all sites of a customer.
That is a clear management advantage for a service provider.
This because BGP by default doesn't accept BGP routes with an AS path attribute that contains local AS number.
Hope to help

WWII veteran fires cannon for first time since 1945
Veterans participate in military operations they hadn't done in years
ANCHORAGE – WWII veterans participated in military operations they hadn't done in years on Wednesday.
The howitzer cannons fired at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson looked entirely different than the ones Norman Elliot remembers.
"I didn't even recognize it from the 105s that I knew," Elliot said.
But hearing rounds fired and commands given by men much younger than him took Elliot back to World War II and his time spent in Europe. He was an artillery soldier in a unit similar to ones at JBER.
"Except we had four howitzers, they have six," he explained.
Elliot was in command.
"My unit was far inside Germany when WWII ended," Elliot said. "We sat for two weeks waiting for the Russians to take Berlin. We could have walked into Berlin. I think they would have welcomed us because they were terrified of the Russians."
After the war Elliot was stationed in Alaska, where he stayed. For half a century he's been ministering for the Episcopal Church around the state.
In a few weeks he'll be 95 years old. Elliot estimates the last time he fired a howitzer was in 1945, but that changed Wednesday. He fired the last round of the day from the Malamute Drop Zone.
Elliot said he relates to the men who fire howitzers and admires them for their volunteered service.
"These fellas are here because they want to be and that's something," he said.
Elliot retired in 1990, but is still active in the community. He was recently appointed to Anchorage's Military and Veterans Commission.

Infinite Copyright vs. Public Domain?
Helprin notes that if you own a house it's yours forever, but write a novel and your ownership is limited:
"Were I tomorrow to write the great American novel (again?), 70 years after my death the rights to it, though taxed at inheritance, would be stripped from my children and grandchildren. To the claim that this provision strikes malefactors of great wealth, one might ask, first, where the heirs of Sylvia Plath berth their 200-foot yachts. And, second, why, when such a stiff penalty is not applied to the owners of Rockefeller Center or Wal-Mart, it is brought to bear against legions of harmless drudges who, other than a handful of literary plutocrats (manufacturers, really), are destined by the nature of things to be no more financially secure than a seal in the Central Park Zoo."
I thought the article was interesting, and immediatley I started tabulating a list pros and cons.
To wit:
You wrote it you own it, right? Shouldn't your heirs benefit from your life's work rather than the companies who suddenly have the right to print up your work for free?
Here's another argument for longer copyright, and for this I need to tell an anecdote: I was trying to sell an out of print work by a great and very dead 20th Century writer, and a publisher was all lined up and ready to go. But then we discovered that the work was in the public domain, and because they didn't have exclusivity in the marketplace (there was a cheap pamphlet of the work for sale on Amazon) they didn't think it was economically viable to proceed. So the book went from potentially being promoted and sold in bookstores by a reputable publisher to languishing out there in a corner of the Internet waiting to be discovered.
Without the financial incentive of exclusivity, publishers may determine that it isn't economically viable to produce and promote some more obscure works, and works in the "public domain" may actually end up being no more available to the public than they would be if they were under copyright. So one could argue that the public doesn't always benefit from public domain.
Do you really want to try and track down the heirs of someone who died 400 years ago in order to secure permission to use a passage of their work? Also, public domain is great for classics because publishers have to compete to produce the best edition, which has resulted in some awesome scholarly editions of old books. We all benefit from having thousands of editions of Shakespeare's plays, right?
And then there's Google. Google is in the process of digitizing pretty much every work in the public domain ever published, and now it will be easier than ever to find published books that up until now were collecting dust and keeping that creepy guy in the library stacks company. The public domain is going to be more accessible than ever.
So you tell me: should there be a time limit on intellectual property, and if so, what should that limit be?

Should I write something that people will still want to read or see or listen to despite my residence in Valhalla, I'd still like to think that, eventually, my descendants will have to get a job.
I'd be interested in hearing from an attorney on this, especially one who specializes in intellectual property rights. My sense is that Helprin's analogies are not apt or on point. A corporation is not the property of an individual, but the property of individual shareholders who can dispose or transfer their interests in the company in a number of ways. Real estate, of course, is perpetually subject to taxation simply for existing.
I'm still puzzling through this one, although it strikes me that society as a whole benefits more from free access to great works of art than it would from free access to somebody's house. The underlying limits also apply to patents. An unlimited life for patents would make the production of generic drugs--as an example--impossible.
Of course, Shakespeare, Michaelangelo, and Mozart have no direct descendants. Is that where the natural limit on copyright would come from?

How's this for a firm answer:
Why not have it both ways? As long as an heir or family trust or whatever renews the copyright, the copyright exists with the family. If the copyright is allowed to lapse, then it goes into the PD.
I've benefited a lot by public domain works. I can choose the edition of the classic I like best (or, especially in school, the cheapest).
I also really like old B movies. Since many of those are now coming into public domain, they are available, and cheap. They might not get beautiful releases, but they're cheap.
And, I've downloaded a bunch of those digitized books from Google. They're great for researching my next project.
Another thing you might not have considered: if copyrights are infinite, how will future students study them? The price of the Norton Anthology of 22nd Century Classics will be out of a student's range because each anthologized piece will be subject to a licensing fee if it's included.
And, maybe some future ancestor of a brilliant writer might inherit the copyright of a work that he believes is vile, blasphemous, boring, embarrassing, or whatever, so he refuses to let it be published, as do HIS heirs, and a great work passes into dust.
Of course, that could happen with my suggestion of letting the family renew copyrights too.
Easy question. No easy answers. But I still like my suggestion.

I am going to watch the comments on this one. I straddle the fence. I'd like my children to have the rights to my books, but I also like being able to quote a passage from a book without being sued.
It isn't an easy question.

Your house is not being used by anyone willing to pay the admission fee. Your book is being used by anyone willing to buy a copy. Intellectual property isn't the same as an object you own.
After you're dead, the people who "own" the book are all the people who own a copy of it. It becomes society's book, which is why I have no problem with defining it to be in the public domain.
If I write the book, there's no reason why my great-great-grandkids should benefit from the continuing appeal of my brain's output. They can have whatever monetary inheritance is left over from my estate. That's the bit that is "theirs". The story belongs to whoever has read the book.
- May 23, 2007 at 4:49 PM
Well, aren't patents continually expiring? If drugs always belonged to their pharma companies, we wouldn't ever have cheap generic alternatives that many people (especially in poorer areas) rely on... right? Also, patent expiration motivates drug companies to keep creating new drugs - if the companies could perpetually cash in on their old successes, we could lose the benefits of innovation.
Now, the literary world is very different, of course, but there's a potential analogy there.
As for novels, I think that our intellectual property can belong to us while we're alive but then should become public domain. It's probably for the best. But that's just my little opinion :).
- May 23, 2007 at 5:04 PM
Part of me feels that even 70 years is too long. Descendents might retain intellectual control for that long or longer (you know, yes you can publish it in French, no you cannot add a nude scene) but my kids should only get the money for the books, merchandise etc already sold or negotiated in the next ten or twenty years after my death. After that, get a job, invest wisely, write your own damn book. If I'm a million-bestselling author they have enough cash already. If I'm not, then they're gonna have to learn to stand on their own feet anyway. I don't want my kids to starve, but I don't want 'professional descendents' either.
And as an ego-centric writer, the idea that if someone wants my stuff, they can just download it anytime after that makes me happy - 'cause my stuff might date quickly and people may as well enjoy it while they can.
Though if I died young, and left a young family, I can see a benefit in 70 years. Just long enough to ensure my spouse was looked after to the best of my posthumous ability. Something tells me this may have been the original intention

I'm pretty happy with the current laws. I mean, 70 years after I'm dead my heirs won't even have known me. There's even a chance I won't even like them *grin*
I'm much more concerned with keeping my rights in the hands of my mate (who is not legally married to me) and out of the hands of the resst of my family who I am estranged from (and who wouldn't hesitate to squash my "evil, satanic" work, even if it harms the wellbeing of my children).
- May 23, 2007 at 7:53 PM
- Twill said...
I think 70 years after death is *way* too long. Realistically, most works end up in the possession of a corporation anyway (profit or nonprofit). The future value of anything to a corporation is discounted at some rate. Anything over 25-30 years out makes very little difference to the present value of a property.
In essence, extending copyright is a giveaway of the public's ownership of common ideas to a corporation.

I have to agree with Scott here.
Copyrights should be eternal AS LONG as they are renewed. They could be legally transferred as part of a will, for example, or other instrument. Maybe the rights office would send you out a reminder, like when your vehicle tags need to be renewed. If you take care of it, you're set for the next period, whatever that might be. If not, you're SOL. Alternately, your heirs could choose to let the copyright lapse.
Works for me.

I agree with Whitemouse. After I die my "intellectual property" dies with me. The 70 years tacked on by law, benefiting people who never knew me, is quite generous already.

I would much rather prefer something like 70 years from date of publication and not have to deal with the byzantine rules of X number of years after the death of the creator.
That's because when I wrote my Master's thesis it was easy when I was dealing with only U.S. Copyright law and things from the 19th century. I was lucky that my literature survey was concluded in 1923, because after 1923 the rules regarding when things pass into public domain gets convoluted.
The only things that I needed to seek permission to include in my thesis were a few modern illustrations, all the artists were alive and it wasn't difficult to identify whom to contact. However, having to determine the year of someone's death and then do addition is onerous, as is trying to find current owners of a copyright that was written over eight decades ago is not always easy. Publishers may have gone out of business and it might be difficult to identify who are the heirs to a writer's estate.
Honestly, copyrights were never intended to be granted in perpetuity.
Trying to determine when something written after 1923 goes into the public domain is migraine inducing.
I hate it, and I blame Sonny Bono for changing the federal copyright law.

Copyright should be author's till the author dies. Then, public.
What do my heirs have anything to do with it? What have they or would they have done to deserve it? This is America, we don't believe in dynasties (or, we shouldn't). My great grandkids should write something of their own if they want royalties. My own stuff should be available to anybody.
At the moment, naturally, it is available to nobody, being only on my hard drive. :)

Do you really want to try and track down the heirs of someone who died 400 years ago in order to secure permission to use a passage of their work?
This can be settled by rules, IMO. If heirs record their names at some sort of copyright-heirloom register, they retain those rights. If they forget or choose not to enter their names in the register, they forfeit all rights.
In principle, I think heirs should be entitled to these rights. I think the analogy to houses is correct. If you don't want to leave it to your children, put a specific clause in your will, and leave it to mankind. It will be interesting to see the legal battles over the definition of "mankind" after aliens take over the world.

If copyright dies with the author how do you handle posthumous works?
If copyrights are forever I expect royalties for all of Shakespear's works (my ancestor). See you in court if you refuse.
Just a few problems I can see.

Anonymous: Go to www.copyright.gov to read about copyright for posthumous works. The widow(er) or children can seek copyright for works not published before death and, in fact, are entitled to renew that copyright before it expires.
- May 24, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Maya, we're talking about changing the law so the current law does not apply. One of the proposed options (Dan's post for example) was that the copyright dies with the author. What happens in the case that an author has finished a book, perhaps got an advance and then he dies? If the copyright dies with the author the work is now in the public domain. DO older writer suddenly stop being able to sell their work?
- May 24, 2007 at 10:17 PM
- Maya Reynolds said...
Anonymous: You're making my point. Copyright CAN'T die with the author. It's an asset that the widow(er) and minor children should have a right to exploit. There's isn't a legislator in the world that would deny the surviving family the right to those assets. Future generations maybe, but not the survivors.

Cory Doctrow has lectured at length about the insanity of the eternal copyright.
The logic behind the US congress extending legacy rights longer and longer can be summed up in two words:
Mickey Mouse.
No congressman want's to vote for public domain "Mickey Mouse giving the finger" windshield stickers or "Micky Mouse with his arm around his gay lover, Ricky Rat" T-shirts.
And this was Corey's lecture BEFORE Hamas started using Mickey to brainwash future terrorists. Now? Fuggedabowdit!
You can save your sacrilegeous merchandise for Public Domain Jesus, apparently, but lay off the rodent.
- May 25, 2007 at 10:44 AM
Maya, you're missing the point of the discussion. The question is do the copyright laws change and if so how? Do they give an infinite life or a zero life or something in between.
I'm arguing for something in between by giving examples of the problems with zero or unlimited copyrights. I hope you are right that congress won't make it zero but relying on congress to do what is right or reasonable doesn't seem to be the way to bet.
Extending the copyright to an indefinite amount of time also has problems.

I think if the tax system were applied more fairly -- I live in the U.S. but I imagine this applies to many places -- the comparison to Walmart would not be as easy to make.
I do think that the copyright protections could be lengthened, to account for longer life expectancy, but not indefinitely.

For those who think eternal copyright is a good idea, I'd have to point you toward Spider Robinson's short story from long ago,Melancholy Elephants. http://www.spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html
To sum up: We are working on living forever. There are 88 keys on a piano, only a few more on your keyboard. Math will catch up to us eventually, and we'll be stuck with nothing left, that is original, to say.

Might be something to be said for longer-term copyright.
As things stand, we know that great works of literature are not always immediate bestsellers. Most of the money they make does not come the way of the author. Plath died after a bitterly cold winter in a poorly heated flat, with two small children to mind while she wrote a work of genius -- the head in the oven paid other people's mortgages.
Suppose we look at the transformation of the finance industry in the last 20 years. The big change has been the development of financial instruments such as options and derivatives -- one can buy the right to buy a commodity (or a currency) at a specific price by a certain date, and these options can themselves be traded. Suppose for the sake of argument that one had this sort of instrument for an asset like eternal copyright to Ulysses. No individual, of course, will be around to collect if the bet pays off -- but we have institutions (universities, for instance) that are expected to be around for the foreseeable future, which maintain portfolios of assets to build their endowment. Might it not be better if a writer who wins critical acclaim but not vast sales could sell an option on some or all of the future copyright to his/her work?
If there were a market in which such options were traded, of course, this in itself would have an effect on the current market value of the author -- just as the auction prices of works of art, though not directly benefiting the artist, raises the price of new work.
The problem of tracing copyright owners doesn't seem very bothersome. One could agree that if one used material one paid a fixed fee to a public depository, to be claimed if the owner appeared.
- May 26, 2007 at 8:56 AM
I like the old 26 years and you're outta here law. Patents do not last forever, why should copyrights? You probably remember some of Louis Lamour's western crappies went out of print and pubs started releasing them without his permission. He sued instead of writing a new potboiler, and lost. That is the way it should be. Put a limit on it.
If copyrights lasted forever you would not be able to read anything by Dickens or Thomas Hardy except in used or library editions.

I have two books published, and I would love to see copyright last no longer than 15 years, I would be fine with much less. I think that as the publishing industry awakens to new models, they will discover there is in fact many ways to make a living without relying on the ability to lock down information for 150+ years.
Look at Google. They started as an internet search engine company. How much do they charge for an internet search? $0. They give away their main service and find other ways to make gobs of money. The same thing can be done (and has been done by a select few) in the publishing industry. I personally look forward to the day where the work produced by authors and other artists is more 'open' to the general public.

U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 2.9 percent fewer workers in Jan. 2010 than in Jan. 2009, the 19th consecutive decrease in full-time equivalent employee (FTE) levels for the scheduled passenger carriers from the same month of the previous year, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reports.
BTS says that the January FTE total of 379,500 for the scheduled passenger carriers was 11,200 below that of Jan. 2009 and the lowest total for any January since 1990.
Five network airlines decreased employment from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2010. Delta Air Lines, after completing its merger with Northwest Airlines, reported combined numbers for the first time in January.
Southwest Airlines was the only low-cost carrier to report a decrease from Jan. 2009. Regional carriers American Eagle Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Comair, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Pinnacle Airlines, Horizon Air, Mesa Airlines, Air Wisconsin Airlines, Mesaba Airlines, PSA Airlines, GoJet and Colgan Airlines also reported reduced employment levels compared to last year.
Scheduled passenger airline categories include network, low-cost, regional and other airlines.
The seven network airlines employed 257,800 FTEs in January, 67.9 percent of the passenger airline total, while low-cost carriers employed 16.8 percent and regional carriers employed 13.8 percent.
Delta employed the most FTEs in January among the network airlines, Southwest employed the most FTEs among low-cost airlines, and American Eagle employed the most FTEs among regional airlines. Six of the top 10 employers in the industry are network airlines.

Using Nik and Topaz Filters to Digitally Paint
Ever since I posted the Forever Asheville painting and how I used Topaz filters with it I have been getting a lot of email asking more specifics. So I did another one and this time kept the info on which filters and how I used them. And I did this painting from a drive by shot I took with my iPhone here in Asheville in the beautiful fall foliage.
After resizing it and cropping it I used Nik ColorEfex Pro Complete using the PRO CONTRAST filter which is awesome and lightning fast to fix color on any photos.
Next I tweaked the color with NIK BICOLOR filter. I love this set of filters and usually scroll through all the colors until I see the "AHA!" moment where it hits me.
Next I switched to the TOPAZ Filters to add some more details and tweak it further. This is the TOPAZ DETAILS filter set and I chose the CREATIVE DETAIL setting.
Next I switched to the TOPAZ ADJUST filter set and chose SIMPLIFY. This filter set adjust Exposure, Details and Color.
Now that I had the image prepped in Photoshop I opened it in COREL PAINTER 11 and painted it using mostly a brush I created from the standard Sargent Brush using adjustments to it to my taste to create the Mar SOFT SARG brush for myself. It's a tricky brush to use but I get great results with it.
After I finished painting, just to be sure I was happy with it I opened again in Photoshop and opened the NIK FILTERS again. I ended up playing and checked the PRO CONTRAST setting again and I loved it. So the final painting was adjusted with that filter and here is the finished painting.
I really like the colors in this one and the details versus the soft background gave real separation to the entire painting. I love using the filters to change my original reference images to make something special out of them. Both of these filters are incredibly easy to use and the best part is you can SAVE MONEY on buying Nik and Topaz filters by using the codes I have for them. Go to TOPAZ FILTERS and when you check out put in the coupon code: msholin
Go to NIK FILTERS and put in same discount code when you check out: msholin
These codes work for ALL the filters they both sell. To find more of my discount codes and more info on resources check out my blog page RESOURCES for ARTISTS and PHOTOGRAPHERS

Former WLET Owner Otto McDonald Passes Away
Toccoa is remembering a former local radio station owner and personality.
Otto McDonald, Jr. of Greenwood, South Carolina passed away Tuesday at the age of 88.
McDonald was once the President and General Manager of WLET-AM and WLET-FM in Toccoa.
"Otto was a fine gentleman, businessman, (and) newsman," said Ted Taylor, who worked with McDonald for a number of years at WLET.
Besides his work on the business side of radio, McDonald hosted the "Little Country Church" radio broadcast for more than 50 years.
Taylor said McDonald was very well-known for that feature alone.
"He never used a script," said Taylor. "He used a Bible that was on his desk. I opened up the Bible one time and saw all of these notations and notes in the margins and underlines and highlights and everything, so he had everything down pat. That was one of his most popular programs."
Taylor went on to say that McDonald also had a particular passion for the news side of the radio business.
"He liked to scoop the (other) radio stations, scoop the newspapers, as far as news was concerned," said Taylor. "One of his greatest treasures was a reel-to-reel tape interview with the Great Wallenda before Wallenda crossed the Gorge at TallulahFalls. I think that was one of his proudest moments."
McDonald also has served as President of the Toccoa Chamber of Commerce and President of the Georgia Association of Broadcasters.
Prior to his time in Toccoa, he served as Vice President at WELP Radio Station in Easley, South Carolina and WHPB in Belton, South Carolina.
Funeral services for McDonald will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at Hodges Presbyterian Church in Hodges, South Carolina.

In theaters and on VOD (Video on Demand) today (September 27, 2013) is a new romantic comedy called Wedding Palace. It's also the first Asian- American "rom com" (romantic comedy).
Jason (Brian Tee) is a young business man with a rather crazy family. They whole heartedly believe in a family curse that will kill Jason if he doesn't get married before his 30th birthday. Jason is not too concerned because he is about to marry the love of his life Jinnie. That is until Jinnie leaves him at the alter on their wedding day.
Jason's parents are determined to find his a suitable wife before his 30th birthday, which is fast approaching. They even go so far as to bring Jason on to a dating television show.
On a business trip to Seoul, Korea, Jason meets a young woman name Na Young. The pair instantly hit it off. You can tell that they have chemistry.
The pair spend one night together, driving around Seoul and talking. Sadly Jason has to return to Los Angeles the next day, but he promises to keep in touch.
For the next few months Jason and Na Young talk on the phone and video chat online. They even go so far as to have romantic dinner dates via video chatting.
Jason is head over heels in love with Na Young and asks her to marry him. She gladly accepts and the pair arrange for Na Young to come to the United States to meet Jason's family and get married.
Jason's family is thrilled that he will be married before his 30th birthday and break the curse.
There is one thing that Na Young neglects to tell Jason which is obvious the moment they meet at the airport. Things get even more out of hand when Jason's parent's discover her "quirk" too. To make matters worse Jason's ex-finance Jinnie wants back in Jason's life.
What ensues is a lot of ups, downs and sheer silliness.
Will Jason ever make it to the alter before his 30th birthday? Will the curse ever be broken? To find out you need to see Wedding Palace, now in select theaters, or on VOD.
This movie is very much a romantic comedy. You find yourself rooting for Jason – hoping he'll wed before his 30th birthday.
This film is also a comedy. While it wasn't funny the entire time there were several laugh-out-loud moments.
Jason's family steals the show. They really stand out. I think Jason's family were a riot. Even when things get serious with Jason and Na Young, Jason's family still makes you laugh. Especially when his grandmother tries to catch a ride to the wedding from the hospital.
The film also has some animation and sub-titles. I'm not a fan of movies with sub-titles but to be honest with you there were not that many. Most of the film is in English.
Wedding Palace is an entertaining film that is sure to make you laugh. It does have some slow parts and not-so-funny scenes, but over all it was enjoyable. It is filled with a lot of clichés and stereotypes, but nothing that I would consider offensive.
I am not sure of the rating. If I had to rate it myself I would say it was PG-13. There are only a few sexual innuendos. There is no nudity or foul language the I can recall.
To learn more about the film visit www.WeddingPalaceMovie.com. You can also find the film on Facebook.
Here is the film's trailer for your enjoyment.
*I screened the movie for free in order to do this review. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.

Will he and the other operatives of the ELITE organization JCN manage to save the world? Only time will tell....).
Moving right along...
So, as those of you in the public beta know we have offline support for federated calendars. We've got a few questions about what Samantha's expectations will be when using them. To whit:
1. Samantha subscribes to a calendar and selects the "View this calendar feed when offline and on a mobile device." After a while, she decides she doesn't really need to see that calendar offline, so she opens the Modify dialog (you can see it below) deselects the checkbox, and clicks ok. At that point, what does Samantha expect to happen (as always, please explain why you think one over the other):
a. All of those calendar's entries will no longer be viewable when in offline mode. (i.e. We remove them outright)
b. The current entries will be kept and "aged off" and no new entries will be added to the offline experience. (So, the gist is we keep 90 days of entries for each calendar. Rather then outright removing the entries, we basically keep them around and drop them one day at a time (starting with the oldest ones first)).
2. Samantha adds a federated calendar for Ida, her coworker. When online she can see all of the details for Ida's calendar entries (except for those marked Private of course). When Samantha goes offline she expects:
a. To see the same details as when she's online.
b. To see the "boxes" for Ida's entries but not necessarily see all of the details. (So, Ida's entries may appear with "No details available" in place of the subject, etc.)
3. Would it ever occur to Samantha to create a local replica of Ida's mail file in order to see the details of her calendar offline? Assuming it does occur to her, do you think she could successfully do it on her own? (You'll note I'm picking on poor little Samantha here. Ted (our exec) and Betty (our AA) may actually have a leg up on Samantha in this department).
Thanks in advance,
