Boa tarde, estou muito feliz de estar aqui em Brasilia.
Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for your kind hospitality. I'm very pleased to visit Brazil. This is my third time as Secretary-General.
Last year, I visited Rio de Janeiro to participate in the Alliance of Civilizations meeting.
Today, I had discussions with Minister Patriota on overall issues pertaining to the strong participation between the United Nations and Brazil. I am very grateful to the people and government of Brazil for their strong commitment and leadership role they have been demonstrating in dealing with world peace and security, regional integration, development and the promotion of values and goals of the United Nations, including human rights.
I told Minister Patriota that the United Nations and I as Secretary-General are very pleased to see such a growing role, regional and global role, played by Brazil. As a member of the G20, as a member of the G77, Brazil is positioned in a very strategically good position to make a consensus between the developed and developing countries, and I appreciate such a strong commitment to promote South-South cooperation and this is exactly what we expect from emerging countries like Brazil.
That should not give any pretext that North-South cooperation should be weakened. That should also be strengthened, but South-South cooperation has been playing a very important role and I really count on Brazil's continued support and contributions.
In the peace and security area, Brazil has been demonstrating their leadership. In Haiti, they have been sending troops, humanitarian assessment teams, and General [Major General Luiz Eduardo Ramos] Pereira is heading MINUSTAH [the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti] as Force Commander, and they have been sending peacekeepers to Timor-Leste and their peacebuilding contribution in Guinea-Bissau lead by Ambassador Maria Luiza RibeiroViotti as chairman of the Peacebuilding Commission is very much appreciated.
In all of these matters, I am very much pleased to work together with Brazil? as a promoter and leader in creating UNASUR [the Union of South American Nations].
And I'm also looking forward to working very closely with UNSAUR, in addition to several regional organizations, including the Organization of American States and Mercasur and [inaudible] and CARICOM and many regional and subregional organizations here.
[Another] very important thing on which I count on Brazil's leadership: that's sustainable development, the Rio+20 conference next year. This will be the most important, top priority issue for the United Nations. We have been dealing with climate change, we have made good progress, even though we are not able to agree on global acceptable comprehensive agreement. We are now facing food security, energy security, water scarcity issues and health issues.
All of these health issues are interlinked. Therefore, we need to link these dots. That means we need to look at these issues from a broader perspective in a more comprehensive way. That is what I expect that the Rio+20 conference will do next year under the leadership of President Dilma Rousseff and the United Nations will not spare any effort. We will exert all the efforts to make this Rio+20 a great success for humanity, to make this world and planet earth environmentally sustainable and hospitable.
Q: [Question in Portuguese on confidentiality of public documents]
SG: I understand every country has their own systems and regulations in keeping these public documents' confidentiality. Some countries [keep documents confidential for] 20 years or 30 years - that depends upon each individual government. Therefore, I will leave it to the decisions and discretion of the Brazilian government.
Q: The United Nations Security Council has been deadlocked on the issue of Syria for some time. Do you back the resolution being discussed? On Libya, despite the UN resolutions, what needs to happen next?
SG: I have expressed my position repeatedly, many times, most recently yesterday while visiting Uruguay. The situation in Syria is [of deep] concern. I have discussed and talked to President [Bashar Al-]Assad several times on this matter. I have strongly urged him to listen to the wishes and aspirations of their people and he should take utmost care to protect human lives. It is totally unacceptable that many civilians, peacefully demonstrating to have their genuine wishes for greater freedom and democracy [heard], have been killed and wounded, and I again strongly urge President Assad and his authorities, his regime's authorities, to stop killing people and to engage in inclusive dialogue and to take bold measures, decisive and bold measures, before it is too late. And I also hope that the United Nations will be able to speak in a coherent manner.
And on Libya, again, the United Nations has taken very swift and bold and decisive measures. I have been speaking to Libyan authorities and my Special Envoy has visited already eight times. He has met the Prime Ministers and many other people. It is important that, first of all, they immediately stop killing people. A ceasefire in a verifiable manner [is needed] so that the United Nations and other international humanitarian community can provide humanitarian assistance to many needy people. The humanitarian situation in many places, in many cities like in Misrata, has very much deteriorated. And we will continue to have this political dialogue to have a ceasefire, a verifiable ceasefire. And we are also now starting to prepare for post-crisis arrangements, a peacebuilding and peacemaking process, and including providing humanitarian assistance and protecting human rights.
Q: [Question in Portuguese on the role of South America and on Security Council reform]
SG: My observation through a visit to four South American countries is that South American countries can have a much stronger, bigger role in the United Nations and in multilateralism. At the same time, the United Nations also can have a much bigger role in this region, that is what I believe, in terms of promoting democratic institutions and human rights, in terms of promoting South-South cooperation, in terms of expanding their participation in world peace and security through peacekeeping operations. These are very positive aspects on which we can expect more from South American states.
On the second question, Security Council reform, this has been quite long overdue. Most recently, Member States of the United Nations have been accelerating their negotiation on how to expand, how to reform the Security Council. If you consider the dramatic and significant changes which have taken place during the last 65 years, the Security Council needs to be, should be, changed. Adapting to changing situations, that means the Security Council should be reformed in a more representative, a more credible and democratic way. The Member States have now begun the negotiation on a text-based negotiation and I sincerely hope that this has accelerated the pace of negotiation will continue so Member States will be able to find some mutually-agreed modality. I am fully aware of the aspiration of the Brazilian government to contribute more in strengthening the capacity. All this should be discussed among Member States.
Q: [Question in Portuguese on expanding the permanent membership of the Security Council]
SG: I think that this is a question on which I am not in a position to make any comment. Who is going to be elected as permanent members of the Security Council, that is up to the Member States to determine. First of all, there should be a decision by the Member States on how to change the Security Council, and as I said I am very much aware of the aspirations of the Brazilian government. There are some other countries also, as we mentioned. Therefore this is something the Member States should determine.
Q: [Question in Portuguese on a possible second term for the Secretary-General]
SG: As you know, I have expressed my intention, my humble intention, to serve this great Organization for another term, and I understand that this is now being considered by the members of the Security Council, including Brazil, and then it will be finally decided by the Member States. I expect that the members will give positive consideration for my humble desire to serve this great Organization, to work together with the Member States for the promotion of peace and security and development, as well of promotion of human rights. These are common goals and objectives which I have been working very closely with the Member States. Thank you very much.

After the rocky launch of the beta because of online issues that lasted a few short hours yesterday, I've played PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale for about 6-7 hours now. Usually, I'd be able to form a concrete opinion on something after that much time spent with it, but I'm still unsure about what I feel about this game.
It's easy for people to use the term "Sony Smash Bros." as a way to describe All-Stars, but if it were that simple I would be having a fantastic experience with it, which is not quite the case. Sure, the game's basically a 4-player brawler with a cast of PlayStation (and non-PlayStation) characters playing on stages with hazards, spawning items and such. However, the fundamental gameplay is quite different, and that's the focal point of my issues with All-Stars.
Having super attacks be the only method of truly killing an opponent is an interesting concept in theory but, for now, one I don't think I enjoy in practice. AP—the resource that fuels a player's super meter and allows them to perform one of their three super moves based on the the meter's level—is gained by attacking other players or by collecting AP orbs across the stage and is lost by being hit by certain stage hazards, throws and items.
Because the amount of AP gained varies depending on a character's attacks, I feel that this means players either use the same moves or combos that they know gain them the most AP over and over again or they recklessly mash any of the three attack buttons they can and hope for the best. Using the same move constantly for AP isn't too different from spamming a high damaging move in a traditional 2D fighting game, however because high/low mixups aren't an issue in All-Stars, the need to memorize several of them is not a necessity.
As for the mashing, well that seems like all too viable an option in this game, because stuff gets pretty hectic when four characters are in close proximity to each other and, unlike Smash Bros., people do not fly away when hit by moves in a combo, so they stay stuck in a same group and the more people you hit, the more AP you gain. Heck, sometimes it was even difficult to keep track of where I was, but thankfully that barely happens.
Another issue with the super meter system is that since the only way of gaining points is based around limited resources that are only gained after a certain period of time, the game can be immensely frustrating and things such as comebacks are nearly impossible in the three minute free-for-all mode that is the only accessible mode in the demo. If you miss a super or get knocked out of one you were about to perform, you lose the AP you had collected for it and having to gain all of it back again just to score a kill feels a bit more like a hassle than it should. A player's score is not indicated before a match ends in the beta mode, however knowing which player is in the lead is usually not a difficult thing to do and when there is little time left in a match and you find yourself left with practically no AP to pull off any supers while being behind in the scoreboard, you might as well just give up because there is literally nothing you could do to change the situation.
My view might change on the combat mechanics after I spend more time with the beta, but for now it's not impressing me too much. The issues I have with it could be different based on other modes such as 1v1 (which the game doesn't seem suited towards at all), stock mode or something, but all I have to judge All-Stars on right now is the 3-minute, FFA mode of the beta. I'll definitely be playing more of it before the beta expires on October 30th and I'll see if my opinions change.
*Note: I played the Vita version for a couple of hours. It's pretty much exactly the same as the PS3 version, so not much to say about it other than the scale is smaller so things are slightly more difficult to keep track of and that tapping the screen to grab an item doesn't seem intuitive.

It was a first for many Boulder City voters Aug. 12 — to not check Bruce Woodbury's name on their primary election ballots.
Though Woodbury appeared on voting forms throughout his County Commission District A, he is ineligible for re-election this year, the State Supreme Court ruled July 25, the day before early voting started.
The state didn't have time to remove 21 incumbents statewide who were affected by the ruling from the ballots, but signs at polling places announced the candidates do not qualify for re-election.
While 33 percent of voters ignored the ruling and voted for Woodbury anyway, Brian Scroggins captured 55 percent of the vote and will represent the Republican Party in November. He'll face Steve Sisolak, who won the Democratic primary with a commanding 66 percent of the vote.
Two races for seats on the Clark County School Board yielded some surprises: Incumbents Mary Beth Scow and Ruth Johnson, who were also made ineligible under the term limits ruling, each finished with enough votes to move on to the general election. Instead, both will be replaced by the third-place finisher in their respective races.
In Clark County, almost 103,000 people voted, a turnout of less than 15 percent.
Woodbury, who said he paid more attention to the Olympics than the returns on election night, was aware that a significant number of voters still gave him the nod.
"I'm gratified that a substantial number of people chose to vote for me, even though I wasn't eligible," he said.
Voters will now have to decide between Scroggins and Sisolak, a contest that Woodbury predicted would be hard-fought.
But victory, he said, will depend on a candidate's ability to reach out to all of the voters in the far-reaching seat, which in addition to Boulder City includes Mesquite, Laughlin, Searchlight and a handful of other rural towns as well as parts of Henderson and unincorporated areas in the Las Vegas Valley.
"It's going to take a lot of hard work," he said. "I know a lot of emphasis is always put on money, but it's going to take getting out into the district and letting the voters know that you care about them."
Both Sisolak and Scroggins said that's exactly what they plan to do.
For Sisolak, Woodbury's dismissal from the ballot means that the one-time Republican stronghold is now fair game.
"It's not a matter of capturing the seat back," he said. "It's not in anyone's hands right now. In my opinion, it has always been in the hands of the voters."
Scroggins, who entered the race in the final hours of filing with the promise that he would run only if Woodbury were declared ineligible, said the Supreme Court's announcement last month touched off a whirlwind campaign that he plans to build on in the general election.
"We're ready to work as hard for the next 2 1/2 months as we've worked in the last 2 1/2 weeks," he said.
Many voters in Boulder City said no matter their feelings on the term limit rule, which was passed by voters in 1996, they regretted to see the commissioner from Boulder City go.
Lifelong resident Michele Walker said she'd consistently supported Woodbury, a man who replaced her father, Bob Broadbent, on the commission in 1981.
"I appreciated his integrity and how he represented Boulder City, and that's one of the things I'll miss the most," she said. "I don't know when we'll have somebody like that again."
She said she understands term limits at national and state levels, but isn't sure she supports cutting county commissioners' service short.
Jerry Gatch, who moved to Boulder City from Las Vegas two years ago, said he used to think he favored term limits, but was "very, very disappointed" Woodbury couldn't run this time.
He said three of Woodbury's accomplishments stood out: The commissioner established the Regional Flood Control District, the Las Vegas Water District, and pushed for the completion of the Interstate 215 beltway, which now bears his name. Moreover, Gatch said, the man worked for Boulder City as much as he did the rest of the county.
"He's lived in the same house, raised four kids right here in town and is the pride of the community in my estimation," he said. "He's the only truly honest and productive politician."
Woodbury said he's "kind of looking forward" to time off from public service, but will work to assure Boulder City continues to be a priority for the County Commission when he's gone.
"Of course Boulder City is home and it's a wonderful place with great people" he said. "We have to make sure that the interests of Boulder City are protected on the county level, and it's going to be number one on my list of items to go over with my successor, and even before the election, to go over with the candidates."
He said his replacement will need to understand residents' hopes for the unincorporated Eldorado Valley, which the commission zones.
He said the commissioner will need to be sensitive not to approve high density housing, and should work with the City Council about possible annexation of the area.
Carol Oransky, a 22-year resident who said she votes in every primary — "that's my American duty" — said she also supports term limits, regardless of her affection for Woodbury.
"As much I loved our commissioner, I believe in them," she said. "He's relatively young. He can reapply in four years."

What's the point of view in "The Story of an Hour?"
- print Print
- list Cite
4 Answers
The point of view in this short story is probably best described as that of a limited third person narrator.
The story is not told from the point of view of any of the characters. We are not seeing the story through Mrs. Mallard's eyes or those of her sister or any one else's eyes. Instead, we are outside of the action looking in.
We can say the narrator is limited because he or she can know what the people are thinking, but not all the time. The narrator is not just telling us what happened, he or she is also telling us what Louise is thinking. But we don't really know what anyone else is thinking.
The story is told from 3rd person omnisient point of view. Though it basically adds nothing to the story except to trick those of us who are required to write a paper on it. it is within the first paragraph.
"Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message."
thay mrs mallard was opressed so now that she hears the news of her husbands death she feels free.
The attitude or outlook of a narrator or character in a piece of literature, a movie, or another art form.

Those phone do not have a SIM CARD, they have SD memory cards. GSM phones have SIM Cards... ie ATT and T-Mobile. (And a couple global phones that Verizon sells)
The memory cards hold things you place there, pix, ringtones, music and such.

yeah i realized that after i posted the question. lol, thanks.
3. Re: switching droid sim cardsdemmo86rt Sep 19, 2010 12:09 AM (in response to sulli1)You should be able to swap the cards freely without any MAJOR problems, tho the phone, and some apps, does store some minimal operational stuff on there. But it won't change anything about the phone itself. Oh, and I was going to make a smart-*** comment about the sim card too, but somebody beat me to it, lol.
4. Re: switching droid sim cardsmortb Mar 1, 2012 4:39 PM (in response to sulli1)
SIM cards hold vital information about your phone. It holds your phone number, contract number, etc. There are several Verizon phones which need SIM cards to operate, such as the LG Spectrum. Without it, the phone will not function. The Droid X does not use the SIM. The Droid 2 Global does use the SIM which makes it useable overseas.

Dear NEA Scratch Pad:
Since my recent diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency and subsequent therapy with supplements, my eczema flares have disappeared and my rash is clearing! My diagnosis was made in March and coincided with your article "Vitamin D: Hype or Healer?" by Peter A. Lio, MD, published in the first quarter 2011 issue of The Advocate, I was skeptical! But now, with vitamin D supplements of 4000 per day and my health improving, I have hope for the first time in my life. I feel better now than I have felt in over 30 years. I am 69 years old and have had eczema my whole life. I live in a sunny climate, in Texas, and have had a lifetime of exposure to the sun.

Reminds me of one of my very favorite quotes: "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning to sail my ship."
This is beautiful- it makes me think of a beautiful tropical island (which is what the artist was going for!).
How fun is this? A modern take on topography in pillow form! Varying from white to deep blue, the handmade pillow has sensual and modern lines.

This week, I will show how to truncate files using the truncate() and
ftruncate() syscalls.
The file system automatically expands a file's size as more data is
appended to it; however, it has no way of knowing how to shrink a file
when the data at its end is no longer needed. Consider the following
scenario: You have a log file that contains a header at its beginning
and a varying number of fixed-size records. You want to keep the log
file for a certain amount of time (say up to a week after the last
record was appended) and then shrink it to its original size (i.e.,
remove the records while keeping the header) so that new records will
be appended after the header. One way to do this is copying the header
to another file, delete the original file, and rename the copy.
However, there is a simpler way to achieve the same effect. The

If you have a question that hasn't been answered in our FAQ, ask us by filling out the form below.
Ocean acidification occurs when carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid. This raises surrounding acidity levels and lowers carbonate ion levels, making it harder for oysters and other shellfish to produce the calcium carbonate needed to form their shells.
A number of factors have contributed to the decline in the Chesapeake Bay's oyster population, including over-harvesting, disease (like MSX and Dermo), sedimentation and poor water quality.
Oysters prefer brackish and salty water. A salinity range between 10-28 parts per thousand (ppt) provides the best conditions for oysters. Oysters can die if salinity drops below 5 ppt for extended periods of time.

& what would you like to see Luis ?
Hi there Janine, I would like to see an improved watermark, by default it would be on the center (if you want), it would be nice to have an option to have a bigger watermark and we may choose where we want it to be, despite buyers don't enjoy them etc we would accept that fact
there could be a search feature too (like a checkbox) regarding that matter for buyers so they see pictures with or without trademark

I don't bother using it anyways, if someone is going to steal the work off this site all they get is a low res file and its easy to crop off or clone out a watermark. Work looks better to buyers without it.

"...there could be a search feature too (like a checkbox) regarding that matter for buyers so they see pictures with or without trademark"
What would stop a supposed "buyer" from un-checking the watermark box and then copying the image? Just a thought.
Hi Greg, everything can happen pretty much but the possibility would be a lot inferior right? what I am saying it's just an option, everybody that doesn't agree can continue uploading and selling their work as they wish :)
I like the idea of the mobility - but I would never want to see it direct center - way too distracting.
What about..... A watermark that does not appear on the screen for viewing - but shows up upon transfer or printing.
( That might be a clue to how very ignorant that I am to understanding technology - but a great idea non the less )

"...what I am saying it's just an option, everybody that doesn't agree can continue uploading and selling their work as they wish :) "
Absolutely. :)
Janine are you wanting our work to be printing with a watermark? not understanding sorry but isn't that what buyers don't like also?
I've seen a couple of images where the watermark obscures the focus of the image - one was an eagle flying across - the watermark almost completely obscured the bird.
I don't use the watermark - I do put my "signature" and � on my work - somewhere near the bottom edge. There IS a problem with that - the gallery wrap canvas - that signature could get wrapped in the warp.
Hi Roy, thanks for sharing! Do you notice less sales because of displaying your signature or you have never tried without it?
many have complained about the watermark. but honestly - one in the center would hurt my sales. while many say it doesn't hurt their sales i think it's just ugly to have on there. if i had a choice i would use my name as a watermark. i sign my work, and sometimes hide my face in it if it's a digital work.
---Mike Savad
Hi Mike! what I am asking is just the option to have, I also don't think center would be the right choice, want us to be more protected
There are no plans to change the watermark as far as I am aware
No Luis, not if it was printed off FAA - because if I am correct in my understanding the copy they print off is of a higher resolution that what is displayed ( ?).
& Roy, with the gallery wraps - it was mentioned in a thread that what "wraps" around the frame is an extension of the work ( it would be good to have that verified too ) .
"Cause otherwise - my signature is going to be getting A LOT BIGGER, & I really would not prefer that because I don't like my signature to distract at all.
" Ooops.". Well, there's your answer.
There is a thread that always pops up for suggestions in case your interested Luis.
thanks for all replies, appreciate it, hope to hear something from FAA
You just did :)
Luis - that is our lovely Ms. Beth, the Forum moderator. Although looking rather predatory these days, she is a "shape shifter" - you never quite know how, & when she is going to appear - but always when you are in need of help.

I also think it would be great if we got more options for watermarking. People who don't want them could still opt out. I would like to be able to more heavily watermark my work.
As a seller we already have the option to enable or disable the watermark. But what luis is saying, to add an option to choose the placement and size of the watermark. Which can only be an improvement. Many sites have this option, so why not FAA? Copyright and image theft is a big issue these days, and FAA should at least do everything possible to minimize theft. They make money of our art work, so protecting their artist should be a high priority, in my humble opinion.
The images displayed on FAA are big enough to be used in blogs, on facebook, etc, I have already found several images of mine in Pinterest, pinned from FAA. And as soon as an image is on Pinterest, its rendered worthless.
Luis has a very valid concern, and I am really surprised that this issue is taken so lightly by FAA, in my humble opinion.
Apologies if I am out of line, its just a concern for photographers to protect their livelihood.
"And as soon as an image is on Pinterest, its rendered worthless."
What happens to it? Does it instantly disappear from all the other places it's posted? Do people yank it off their walls and throw it away? Does Google suddenly lose it? C'mon, man.
Let me ask you this then, what do you think happens when an image is on pinterest?
I cant even believe you are a photographer talking like that.
The images of mine that I have found on Pinterest have gotten hundreds of hits on FAA that I presume they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Whether that leads to more sales or not is still questionable, but you can disable the "Pin" option if you don't like it.
I think this is mostly an issue for stock photographers. If you are interested in making fifty cents on an image being used in a blog, then I guess it's a big deal. For me, I am interested in the sales I get for 30"-72" prints, and nobody's going to get one of those from a 900px image.
Ok Loree, so I guess its ok then. I am really sorry that I am also a stock photographer. Shame on me.
all i know is, a lot of my stuff is transported to pinterest one way or the other, and i never get sales from there, or even hits from there unless i click on it. i would be more open having it there, but their terms says they have the right to sub-license the work. and that is where the harm is. they are selling my images, not me. they never went into what they were planning on sublicensing though. it used to say sell.
---Mike Savad
Don't get defensive. All I'm saying is that I personally do not mind if someone uses one of my images (low-res) on their blog or whatever, as long as it links back to my sales page. I look at it as a form of advertising. I have actually had bloggers ask me if they can use my images and I gladly send them a low-res version on the condition that they link it back to my AW.
Like I said, you can disable the pin button if you want.
like we have said here it would be an option, it would make us less worried about "thieves", the ones not concerned nothing would happen
you can remove the pin button, but it doesn't stop people from taking it. i've found stuff of mine taken from google, the search here, the buy it page, their own hard drives, etc. you can't stop it. even with watermarks i've seen people use those as well. contact info on the watermark would be nice. to be able to control where it goes or whatever would be nice. if i could say this is a Mike Savad - then they can at least look that up. but i'm not sure how to watermark it when it leaves here, and yet be invisible to the viewer.
---Mike Savad
Loree, its not about pinterest, its about not having a watermark to protect images. Pinterest was an example, but the problem is the internet as a whole.
"Loree, its not about pinterest, its about not having a watermark to protect images. Pinterest was an example, but the problem is the internet as a whole."
And yet you don't even use the watermark that IS available?
Per Beth, earlier in the thread, this is not something FAA has any plans to change.
Have you disabled the pin button? I had it disabled at first, but then I enabled it. If someone pins using the button from your FAA page, then when someone clicks the image on pinterest, it links back to your FAA page. If you have the button disabled, then they are probably using a screen grab or something and it doesn't link back here. I can tell when someone pins something of mine because all of a sudden it gets hundreds of hits in a couple of days. As I said, who knows if sales will improve because of all those clicks, but at least it does link back.
as soon as he gave us that feature i turned off. but it only turns it off for that page, not the rest of the site. you can still grab it from other parts of the site.
while sales might go up - i doubt it considering what a jumble that site is, and how hard it is to find anything there. there still is that permission to sell my work. but not specifying what that place is. and in that agreement, if you keep the pin button there, you are giving that permission. but you are also giving it by pinning it even if the button isn't there.
---Mike Savad
Well, I'm no attorney, but I didn't agree to anything. I am not a member of pinterest, so I never agreed to their TOS. Whether they will actually try to start selling things people pin on that site remains to be seen, but I doubt their agreement will hold up in court if they do. Especially for stuff people pin that they don't own...
Posted by: Jason Politte on 4 Years Ago

I think Loree has it right. As long as you, the artist, haven't agreed to their ToS, they have no right to sub-license anything of yours. If they did, they would face lawsuits galore. I've dealt with copyright issues in the past from some major companies and most will go out of their way not to actually infringe. Reputable companies will do whatever they can to make it right if they do infringe.
you didn't agree, but as it's outlined in the terms - anyone that sends content is under the understanding that they have gotten your permission ahead of time. and if you leave that pin button on your site, you also agree to their terms - which is to sell the work that's uploaded there. at whatever size it was uploaded as. they hold themselves harmless should they go to court, and the people who send it there, they would be in the courtroom. would it hold up? i don't know, i do know that i wouldn't bother suing because it's a lost cause. at the same time i don't want my work on there. i've found several hundred, all coming from here --- ALMOST ALL --- from the the selling page, some complete with frames. while it links back here, i don't want them there. it also weakens my other links leading people to that site and not mine.
just read the contract there and you'll see the clauses they put in about other people posting on your behalf, and you leaving that button on your site. i'm sure there are many lawsuits building, they just aren't in the news yet. if they didn't want to infringe, then they shouldn't have sub-license in the contract.
there is a POD, i won't name it, but many people like it. however in their terms they too have sub-license in the contract. people have been finding their artwork on phones made in china. and when they questioned this site about what's going on, their account was closed and they were banned from using the site. all the while they can't get at their images because of that. that's what i see happening here as well.
---Mike Savad
Well, I guess I'll take my chances then. :-) Like you, I found that people will pin things anyway, so I decided to enable the button because I prefer to have it link back to me than not.
And the difference is that on that other POD, artists agree to their TOS by uploading their work.
"they are selling my images, not me."
Mike, you're stretching. Pinterest isn't, hasn't, nor will they, sell any of your images. Your statement is false and misleading. You really need to find a way to get past your Pinterest prejudice.
"Let me ask you this then, what do you think happens when an image is on pinterest?"
Semmick, my website hits go up with traffic coming from Pinterest. Indirectly (I've written about this before) sales go up. I don't really "do" social media, but Pinterest has been great for me. And it would be great if traffic and sales didn't go up. I like pretty much everything about Pinterest. It's genuinely useful to me, and to millions of others.
dan - without proof you have NO IDEA AT ALL if they are doing that or not. none. you can't just assume they won't do that because they haven't been caught yet. a POD site was caught. they will too. the fact is - they have it in the contract. and that's enough for me.
like if it said, your first born may be sold into slavery. he probably won't, but you signed the contract stating it could happen. my statement is not false or misleading - read the contract they have. and you tell me what they meant by SUB-LICENSE?
i have no pinterest prejudice, i only call them as i see them. and this one, no one liked the first contract when they just said they will sell the images outright. since people have no idea how to read these contracts, kind of like you it seems. you can't glaze over the parts you don't understand or know about. and you can't just go into denial and assume that just because the site looks nice and the people are friendly, that they are never going to do what i just said they can do. the fact is, the contract is there - can they use it in court? no, probably not. but that doesn't matter if your image was just sold around the world.
pinterest only works for you if you funnel people through it. there are very rarely a time that anyone just happens to find your image and goes there because they are interested. more often then not it's just another pretty picture to be added in another pile. the day they redid the contract, was the day the president of that site dumped all the stolen content, and replaced it only with his own stuff.
---Mike Savad
Mike, your interpretation of Pinterest with respect to current copyright laws is wrong. I've explained it to you before. For you to be so fixated on your wrong interpretation calls everything else you say into question and undermines your advice to others. It makes you appear foolish.
the thing is, every time there is a thread about stolen content, abuse of copyright, images taken, etc, your always on the side of the person who stole it. and i don't really understand why. we speak of people taking images and china selling them and your right there slapping them on the back - way to go china, good job. and don't worry about the small images you can't do anything with a small image - even though you can, very much so do that. but your not seeing the big picture.
there are two sides to pinterest, the ones that love the site and will defend it, even if they are blind to what the contract actually says.
and the people who read the contract and understands what it means. i do very much under how it works, and about copyright law. they are allowing people to post images on their site that any other site would have to pay to have on their. and currently getting away with it, until they can't.
so tell me again - what does the term SUB-LICENSE mean to you? it doesn't need to be there. if they removed that word the contract would still be fine. there is no reason at all to put that there. if the said something like we reserve the right to sub-license your work as a function of this site, so we may sell advertising on that same page - then it's explained. but it's not. and it's not a fear. but you seem to be the expert here - do tell us what you think it means.
---Mike Savad
long, long ago there was a site called geocities. it was a site that people can make their own pages on their own little plot of web space. this was when the net was still kind of new. anyway, the place lasted for a good long time until one day yahoo bought them. they had in their terms - we have the right to sell, distribute, modify, license, etc your work. and you agree to this when you sign in and check off that you read and understood it. the problem was, the only way to get back into your account, even if it was just to erase your content, was to agree to those terms. and even if you got in and did just that, they i'm sure had a backup copy.
well, there was a huge fight and i know i for one was interviewed by cnn about it. they later backed down and said, we won't sell your stuff. and everyone was happy again.
about 2-3 years, that's how long it took for them to simply dump the line because there was no profit in there for them. they were planning on selling the stuff, that's why they bought the place. and this is the same thing. while they may not sell it, they are giving us the story that they may at some point. you just don't know how yet. until it happens. then it's too late. so yeah, i would air on the side of caution. i don't like my work there and yet it is. i'm a big picture person, i can see many different possibilities given with a certain set of instructions. and the way it's worded leaves much to think about.
the thing is with contracts is - if it's not clearly defined, it could mean anything at all. and in the case of contracts, just one word in the wrong place can and has, messed up trials.
---Mike Savad
"this is the same thing. while they may not sell it, they are giving us the story that they may"
You stated that they are selling your images, Mike. They aren't. I just wanted to pull you back to reality.
Back to watermarks.
i don't know that one way or the other -the fact remains that they put sub-license in the contract and never once removed it. reality is, you never answered my question - what sub-license means to you.
---Mike Savad
Dan is about the ONLY person I've ever heard say anything good for artists at Pinterest. and Far be it from me to get into a quarrel with Dan. Never expect to get the last word.

I'm not sure if somebody mentioned it, but I think it's Red Bubble that allows a safety feature of just putting a layer of Transparency over the images...that way if somebody "right clicks" all they are saving is the clear layer...not the artwork.
they put a clear gif on it. but it's super easy to defeat. the code is still in there and it's easily defeated. if the image was shockwave, or whatever the equivalent is, maybe that would slow it down. they would have to take it as a screen grab.

I'm also in favor for a better watermark. Although I understand that FAA doesn't want an intrusive watermark, in some images it is simply invisible.
Maybe the light colored letters should be outlined by a thin darker color, so that when they are placed over light tones the letter colors won't be seen but the dark outline compensates for this.
Best regards,

Need a watermark that covers more of the image. Where it is located now doesn't cover enough of the image to prevent people on the internet copying the art. A watermark that one could choose the position of would be better. Checkbox, lower center, lower right, lower left. for example.
Posted by: Menega Sabidussi on 4 Years Ago

the other thing - and this *does* go along with the watermark problem - is that all exif info has been stripped from the images. so you have 900px versions being grabbed via the new google image search without the embedded copyright notices that many add in the exif, thief clones out the easy watermark and the image sails onto the web again, no strings attached. then anybody can use it and it won't be free advertising anymore because even if someone were willing to credit, they can't.

I reinforce too the idea that wee need a much better watermark when we're talking about white or light backgrounds.
I could upload several hundreds of images to FAA that could serve a market I think it's being neglected at the moment but I won't until I can protect the image. That does not happen with the current location and light tone of the watermark.
So, at least a dark outline in the lettering of the watermark is a must, and a choice to position it would be a big plus.
I will reiterate here; There are no changes planned for the watermarks.
Elizabeth thanks for your reply again but please write this down as a future "improve" because files like the one I opened this topic are really unprotected, thanks again!

I don't bother using it anyways, if someone is going to steal the work off this site all they get is a low res file and its easy to crop off or clone out a watermark. Work looks better to buyers without it.
I disagree on both counts.
1. The displayed picture can be easily copied and it is large enough for insertion into an average web page. Once, such a picture (without any text or other identification linked to the original artists) is lifted off the FAA site, it can travel and multiply easily and indiscriminately over all entire Internet.
2. If the watermark uses screening (faint, diluted text), it isn't objectionable to most viewers. I know some people here who use watermarks, however limited they are, and the watermarks are not stopping them from making sales.
If I'm a buyer, a tastefully placed watermark wouldn't disturb me at all, and on the other extreme if I could have really my way all the way, I would prefer to see and touch the actual print before I buy it. Displaying a watermark is relatively unobtrusive, yet reasonably affective anti-theft feature.
I agree with Ron and Luis that nowadays, there are capable and widely available tools to integrate a user-definable placement and appearance of watermarks onto the individual pictures and galleries, and it would be only fair and proper to provide such tools and leave the control to the artist.

I agree with Heather. I think you are all deluded to how easy it is to remove the FAA watermark from the displayed images. Especially if it is being done with the intent to redistribute it. Those folks are in no way stopped by it. I like Mike's idea of hiding something in the image that only you know about. Proof of the origin of the image. Thank you Mike.. I will be incorporating something like that in future images.
in the first on i did the can. the second on i'm on the can and the bag.
they time to do, but in the end i think it's worth it, it becomes a run on joke. if you go to my folder and do a search there, and type self, you can see all the ones i'm in somewhere. at least the most obvious ones.
no matter how i put these in, the grid always seems to cut a piece off. you can find me on the hat in the center, but you can only see half of it.

I agree with you Les, that the low resolution can be copied and the watermark removed, if someone would want to spend the time on it. And I agree that it can travel all over the Internet.
But what I don't see is where the damage is done? I guess someone can print out a small 5x7? 8x10? rough image if they wanted to, but do you really think that many people are doing that and what is the damage even if they are?
I used to do street fairs what seems now like a hundred years ago. I had two display tables full of small easy to steal items that we stored in cases with glass tops. As soon as I got all set up for business I took the tops off.
A friend of mine used to sell a very similar product. He never took the tops off his cases. At the end of two or three day weekend sale, I sold about three times as much as he did. He always complained. I told him to take the covers off his display cases but he refused to do it because he just could not stand the idea of someone stealing an item from him.
We had several items disappear every show we did. But we did three times the business of any other artist in the shows that kept their stuff covered up. It was just a cost of doing business.
So no watermarks for me.

Yes, but if my image travels, I want people to know it's mine! And I DON'T want my image showing up as a Facebook meme with someone else's name plastered on it.
I upload thousands of images each year to my equine photography site, and every single one of them has a watermark on it. I sell a lot of photos. The watermark doesn't slow customers down. In fact it's the opposite, because viewers know where to go to find me.
Whatever floats your boat - I don't watermark mine - no matter how subtle it detracts from the image. That's why all of mine are "signed".
Posted by: Terri Miller on 4 Years Ago

All my images are signed as well. But a signature that is the appropriate size for a large painting is invisible on a 600x600 pixel on-line image - and those are the things that wander around the internet as "orphans".
Posted by: Cynthia Decker on 4 Years Ago

I "sign" my work. I keep it subtle, but it's there. I've seen it in numerous places, and the signature is always intact. It's a good approach if you just want to be able to prove an image is yours.
If you choose to market on the internet, the only recourse you have is after the fact. The images will get lifted. They get crawled, pinned, right click save as, Tumblrd, reddited... Look at Getty. They get it. They have a huge team of people that do nothing all day but reverse image search everything they offer and send out threatening lawyer letters to people who have violated their copyright.
The only other alternative is to personally watermark everything you upload, with a very intrusive watermark, and then provide unwatermarked product when it's purchased. This limits your opportunity for sales - I don't know of any commercial print on demand sites that will provide a way for you to show one version of an image and sell another. It's a feasible idea, certainly one you could build into your own site.
And in regard to Pinterest and Facebook and Twitter and any other social media site, remember this: If you're not paying for a product, you ARE the product. They're data mining sites. It's what they do. It's not shocking or immoral. IMO, people who think they have some kind of right to keep the information they post there private are fools. Read and understand the TOS. You have to decide if the exposure is worth the risk of Facebook using your image in an advertisement or referencing you in a fake activity feed. (or whatever it is they can actually do) For me, that's a risk I am ok with, as my exposure on these sites has definitely generated sales.
However, for someone who sells stock images, and for whom the use of a 600pixel image constitutes a lost sale, it's a different ball game. Selling web/stock photos on the internet is like trying to keep water in a sieve. You can't. You can only try to put some damage control in place (like Getty) and that's a daunting task.

So do most of you folks not have some wort of watermark(of your own, not FAA) for keeps on each image? How does anyone know who the artist is? It's like buying a painting without a signature? I'm surprised there is no option to add one during printing. I know other sites have it. So it looks like if you don't manually do it yourself then it doesn't happen. Not a good selling point when you think about it.
Say someone buys one of your prints and hangs it beautifully in their living room. Some friends come in and love it and say where did you get it, who is the artist? Hmmm...will they remember? I think all artwork should be signed by the artist.
But then as someone said, if you add it yourself in a subtle bottom corner, it may not show up on a gallery wrap.
I just started the free trial and wondering what folks are thinking.

"So, who is that beautiful piece of art by?"
"I don't remember but I got it on Fine Art America."
"Where was it shot?"
"Oh, I bought it because it is Sandy Point on the Chesapeake Bay"
Search for Sandy Point Chesapeake Bay, http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/sandy+point+chesapeake+bay/all
Now, if you are selling a rose image, it might be a good idea to sign it.
i lightly sign my name or my face in different images. but it's hard to say if people will know it's mine. though many do know my name. chances are even if the name was very much there and it wasn't cut off by a frame or something, they wouldn't look for it. i don't watermark it because they won't print it if you do. and it would look ugly.

GENEVA – Switzerland's first sex drive-in, which opened two months ago in a bid to take prostitution off Zurich's streets, has been a success, the city said Tuesday after an initial evaluation.
"After two months I can say that this guarded prostitution site is working," Michael Herzig, director of social services for sex workers in Zurich, told reporters.
The city opened the fenced-in site, which is only accessible by car, in an industrial sector on its outskirts in August to move sex workers out of the center and provide them with a safer working environment.
The drive-in, approved by 52.6 percent of Zurich voters in a March 2012 referendum, has a track where the sex workers can show off their assets and negotiate a price, and nine so-called sex boxes where they and their clients can park and conclude the transaction.
Machines resembling parking meters have been installed, and the prostitutes are required to contribute 5 Swiss francs ($5.40) each night in taxes to help Zurich cover the cost of running the place. Security guards are on hand to ensure there is only one man in each car coming in, as well alarm buttons in each sex box, on-site doctors and social workers.
"We did not have any major problems, such as with pimps, violence or the neighborhood," Herzig said. He said he was surprised things had gone so smoothly.
An average of 14 sex workers had used the site each day since it opened, he said. That is fewer than half the 30 or so who had been working on Sihlquai in downtown Zurich, the city's most notorious red light street until prostitution was banned there in August.
The figures suggest prostitutes are embracing the new system, despite concerns the strictly controlled environment would scare away clients. Herzig said the tight control was key to its success, with the constant presence of municipal staff helping sex workers operate beyond the clutches of pimps.
He said similar systems in other European cities had been hobbled by a lack of resources that saw pimps move in and take control.

I expect sales at the company to double over the next 3 years, led by milk and other new products, to $500 million, with cash operating income of $100 million. It's only a matter of time before its market cap heads north of $1 billion. Investors are fortunate to be able to buy the stock in the mid-$5 range, since it's worth at least $8-$10 per share right now. Look for Part 2 of this column on Dec. 31, when I'll reveal three more stocks from my top 10 list for 2010.
Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider Metro Bancorp, Liz Claiborne and Smart Balance to be small-cap stocks. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.

Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday. Also known as the beginning of Lent. This is the season where Christians all over the world begin to reflect on the sacrifice God made in allowing His Son, Jesus, to be killed in order to provide a way that all people might be saved from an eternity in hell. An eternity of separation from the love and care of God. The important point on which the faith community focuses is not that Jesus died, but that He rose from the dead after three days. In this act, God defeated death. Nothing can any longer stand in the way of people being a part of God's eternal Kingdom. All we have to do is believe. Just believe. Only the decision to not believe in this gift from God can deny you the eternal life God promises us.
As we begin to prepare our hearts for the resurrection of Jesus, I find the easiest spot to begin is at the beginning. And that beginning is Love. "God loved us and sent His Son." (1 John 4:10). God. Loved. Us. More. Than. Imaginable. To draw closer to God, we have to put ourselves aside and let this Love fill our bodies, souls, mind…every fiber of our being. In my experience, this is much easier said than done. There is a whole lot of Jimmy to get (and keep) out of the way before God can take complete occupancy. And, this same Jimmy, can get pretty selfish about "his space."
As I look at the love-gift of God in Jesus, I know I do not deserve it. Never have, never can, never will; yet, God still gave it to me. That's the beauty of grace which I recently wrote about and will be one of my focus points during Lent. On my webpage and my Facebook page, I will be writing daily about my journey through Lent. If you want to follow my daily thoughts, just visit www.beinggods.blogspot.com or request to be my Facebook friend. For now, on day one, I encourage you to just focus on this one truth. God loves you. Don't worry about your warts, poor grades, lack of a job, stupid mistakes you make...that's all overshadowed by those three words. God. Loves. You.
Also, don't let the term Ash Wednesday scare you away. For those of us who may choose to attend a service where ashes are applied to the forehead, it is simply a sign of humility before God. Ash Wednesday is a day of reflection on what needs to change in our lives if we are to be fully Christian. It begins my journey to be a more effective Christian…a more effective man of God.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes on Him will not die for eternity, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Don't forget to remind yourself today. God Loves You.
And for today my friends, this has been the gospel according to Jimmy.

About the school
CEU Business School and George Soros
CEU Business School was founded in Budapest in 1988 by a group of visionary leaders headed by legendary investor and philanthropist George Soros.
We are rapidly emerging under our new leadership. With assistance from an endowment 3x the per-student value of that possessed by Oxford and Cambridge, we offer educational program opportunities which are uniquely relevant for today's challenges, and which are offered at a highly subsidized tuition rate.
CEU Business School, a US-chartered institution founded by George Soros in 1988, trained the cadre of CEE managers and entrepreneurs who led the successful transition from a socialist to a market economy. Offering an American MBA and adhering to world-class standards of excellence in teaching and intellectual leadership, the School is now embarking on its equally exciting second-quarter century. Its overreaching commitment now is to provide emerging and re-emerging economies with the most effective and relevant theory and practice in state-of-the-art management. The school emphasizes especially innovation and entrepreneurship, integrity management, leadership, and managerial professionalism. The School's distinguished faculty are respected pacesetters in their fields, and its students are expected to make an impact and are prepared to have multiple high-level and creative careers throughout their professional lives.
We believe, along with George Soros, that the world needs managers capable of dealing with rapidly changing environments and appreciating the impact of their actions on the business, social, and natural environment. Thus, the mission has evolved to a more global one focused on emerging economies as a particular opportunity to impact new managers and how they influence our future.
A global financier and philanthropist, George Soros is the founder and chairman of a network of foundations that promote the creation of open, democratic societies, based upon the rule of law, market economies, transparent and accountable governance, freedom of the press and respect for human rights. CEU's diverse activities including top-education, world-class research and influential international conferences are a key pillar in this mission to build open societies worldwide.
Every year, Mr. Soros attends the CEU Graduation Ceremony to personally hand over the Diplomas to all students graduating, and is active as an advisor, advocate and guest lecturer.
Degrees Relevant to Today's World
CEU Business School offers various programs, including a Accelerated One Year MBA (full-time), an Executive MBA (part-time), Masters programs in Technology Management and Innovation, Business Analytics and Finance, several tailored Executive Education Programs, and, together with six other top-flight global business schools, offers the International Masters in Management (IMM) Executive MBA.
Our Accelerated One Year and Executive MBA programs help students develop the entrepreneurial skills and perspectives to manage new and established ventures anywhere in the world. They also help students learn how to create value in emerging economies and harness experimentation and creativity to become more innovative. Our MBA programs place particular emphasis on cultivating professional values anchored by integrity, ethics and transparency.
Our MSc in Technology Management and Innovation program is designed for managers or prospective managers with a technical background who need to develop the business, finance, and leadership skills for advancement or entrepreneurship. Our Masters in Finance program has been created from the ground up to serve twenty-first century financial professionals around the world. It is also well suited for those looking to enter the finance profession or who are in other roles such as marketing or general management who want to develop their financial skills.
Central European University (CEU) is organized as an American graduate institution, governed by a Board of Trustees. It was incorporated in the State of New York. The university has an absolute charter from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.
In the United States, CEU is accredited by the Middle State Commission on Higher Education: 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, United States. Phone: (1 215) 662 5606.
CEU Business School's MBA programs are accredited by theAssociation of MBAs (AMBA), one of the three internationally recognized MBA/Business School accrediting agencies.
History at a Glance
Since its inception as "International Management Center" (IMC) in 1988, CEU Business School has evolved through three periods.
From 1988 to 1995 IMC students were taking their first-year courses in Budapest and moved to one of our partner schools in Western Europe and North America to complete their studies and receive their MBA diplomas.
From 1996 to 2001 IMC had been a franchise of Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management in Cleveland, Ohio.
Since 2002 we are officially recognized as the Business School of Central European University.

Makes quick work of dirty chains
By BMMB
from Eagan, MN
The tool itself is great. Works as advertised. Chain runs smooth through the tool. The tricky part is keeping the chain from jumping off the sprocket while backpedaling. Just takes patience.
Best chain degreaser ever

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I first saw this product during a YouTube video by Park Tool on how to clean a bike. I like the product a lot but made the mistake of trying to advance the chain too quickly through the tool (the Park Tool guy made it look so easy)! So the chain came off the sprocket a few times until I got the hang of it. I will say this - I wasn't that impressed with your citrus degreaser, and to be honest the tool works better with a higher quality degreaser like the one sold by Muc-off.
Worked well
By T123
from Ohio
Old chain had not been cleaned in 15 years. Used Dawn detergent and water twice. Then citrus degreaser. Amazing change in 10 minutes.

This worked as expected. Did a nice job cleaning the change and I was able to keep it on the front sprocket while cleaning. I purchased a different chain cleaner that was much more difficult to pass the chain through.
It works great!

It's easy to use, it works. What more could you want?

park tool CM-5 Cyclone chain scrubber
By mscme
from San Diego
As an avid cyclist, I thought I was cleaning my chain well by using a rag and degreaser. Until I got park tool CM-5 chain scrubber, I was blown away by how good this chain scrubber works, it makes the chain brand new again! I recomend the CM-5 to all byclists who like to keep their bikes running like new.

Sen. John Ensign voiced his opinion about whom Sen. John McCain should select as his running mate to the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
"I think it's a year for Republicans not to play safe, personally. In other words, don't take a conventional choice. Take a risk," Ensign said. "Somebody who can broaden the base of the party. It'd be nice to find a woman, or somebody who wasn't a white male. And who was really, really competent."
In Republican politics, choosing a woman and/or nonwhite male is a little risky, according to Ensign.

A former Tooting charity worker woke up as a culinary celebrity this morning after being crowned as this year's Masterchef champion last night.
Shelina Permallo, 29, a British-born Mauritian originally from Southampton, is only the second woman to win the title in eight years.
She beat the other finalists, Tom Rennolds and Andrew Kojima, by wowing the judges with her three course, Mauritian inspired, meal in the BBC One final last night.
Her winning menu was an octopus starter, mutton curry and a dessert of mango cannelloni filled with lime curd.
The judges were effusive in their praise for her cooking and could not fault a single aspect of her final dishes, while her competitors both made mistakes - using strawberries in a starter, and white chocolate and oil in a desert.
Mrs Permallo said she is heavily influenced by Mauritian flavours, with memories of helping her mother when she was as young as three.
She said: "My mother taught me to cook by intuition - never by using scales - always by sight and taste, so I developed a strong palate from a young age.
"I am passionate about food from my heritage, Mauritian cuisine, and have a love for Thai and Italian food, my husband was born in Rome and we visit Italy often and I have been taught some fantastic dishes by his Nonna."

Writing on President Obama's recently unveiled campaign slogan, one anonymous Wikipedia user contributed the following: "On April 30th, 2012 the Obama–Biden campaign announced the slogan 'Forward.'"
"The name Forward has been frequently used as a name for influential leftwing newspapers and publications, denoting an urge for progress," the entry added in a section titled "controversy."
However, after the entry came under heavy criticism, the "controversy" section has been scrubbed:
The article as it appeared before the "controversy" section was removed. Click for larger image.
Furthermore, the original entry had three citations: an NPR article, "Microform review, Volume 10," and "Body Cultures: Essays on Sport, Space, and Identity." But since the writing of this article, both "Microform" and "Body Cultures" have been removed.
A number of online users have flagged the entry as junk and called for its deletion. Consequently, if you go to the "Forward" slogan entry, you'll be greeted with this:
This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page. Feel free to edit the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed.
And per Wikipedia's suggestion that users weigh in on the matter, several users have done just that. On the "Keep" side of things, one user writes:
KEEP all information related to FORWARD as it is current and a relevant discussion.; If you delete this slogan, then that would set the precedent to delete all campaign slogans of any type, and there are many Wiki entries. That's censorship. Keep Wikipedia about fact and not political opinion.
