The Equal Opportunities Office of RWTH Aachen University offers confidential advice in cases of discrimination.
In 2010, the "Gender Working Group (AG)" of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was awarded the internal "Brigitte-Gilles-Award" for its work. Goal of the working group is to motivate young women in following and furthering their engineering studies as well as their professional goals with self confidence through diverse measures.
There are several measures of gender equality at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. There should be an emphasis on measures for supporting chairs and institutes during parental leave of their staff through the Faculty, the support of nurseries through individual cost units of the Faculty as well as universally flexible and individually arranged working hours orientated towards necessities of the employees, occupational reintegration and substitution regulations.
Furthermore, measures for integrating equality into the monetary and structural control system of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was implemented as well as a model for financial support of women in career support programs were realized.

Chisenhall earning more at-bats with hot hitting
CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Terry Francona headed into this season unsure of how much playing time Lonnie Chisenhall would receive. If the third baseman keeps hitting the way he has early on, Francona will continue to find him at-bats.
On Sunday, Chisenhall was in the lineup for Cleveland for the third straight game, but Francona had moved the left-handed hitter up to the sixth spot from the ninth hole. With Twins right-hander Ricky Nolasco on the mound, Francona felt it was a good opportunity to get Chisenhall some more time on the field.
"He's swung the bat well," Francona said prior to Sunday's game. "He's had about half the at-bats, but he's done a good job. We're looking for offense, and with [Mike] Aviles playing today, we're trying to keep some balance in the lineup. So we're hitting [Chisenhall] behind Michael Brantley. I think he deserves it."
Chisenhall started as the designated hitter, which is a role he could fill more routinely this season now that Carlos Santana is handling the bulk of the time at third base. Francona noted last week that Ryan Raburn could also see more at-bats as the DH this season, especially against left-handed pitching.
Entering Sunday's game against the Twins, Chisenhall was 4-for-8 at the plate with two doubles, three runs scored and one walk. In 94 games for the Indians last season, the 25-year-old third baseman hit at a .225 clip with 11 homers, 17 doubles and 36 RBIs.

Bomis Prendin - The early years We got together sometime in 1978, refugees from the liberal and other arts, five post-adolescent DC-area transplants from Richmond and Pittsburgh. Within a few weeks, we were free-styling noisily in a living room cluttered with guitars and amps, a wheezing antique organ, rewired plastic musical toys, a half-dozen analog effects. We wrote songs on occasion, but more often just started making sounds, then made other sounds, ping-ponging between two cheap cassette decks. With inexplicable hubris, we took our lowly Radio Shack Gold cassette master to a real recording studio to see if they could remove some of the hiss, so loud at times it was almost like having a rattlesnake in the band. After a few hours of brilliant work by our engineer, Malcolm "Pep" Peplow, we walked out with TEST on a reel of 1/4-inch tape the size of a pizza. Throughout the rest of the process of designing and manufacturing the 1,000 or so copies we made, we all worked together, a half-baked assembly line, gluing and folding and stamping and bagging and putting little stickers on. We sent out copies, got lots of interesting reviews (including mail from Jandek, Fred Frith, Matt Howarth, Gary Panter, Irwin Chusid, Vale of Search & Destroy, Tim Sommer at Trouser Press, and Trev Faull at OUTLET, among others) and we even played a few shows. It was so much fun, we did it all over again a year later with Phantom Limb. 25 years later, after discovering that original copies of TEST and Phantom Limb were much in demand at ten times their 1980s price of $2.50, we sent our original 1/4-inch masters to Tom Kikta at DDAI in Pittsburgh for baking and digital transfer. Listening to the result was a revelation, as it will be for anyone who's only heard the somewhat lo-fi flexidisc version. It's as close to being in that cluttered living room as you, or we, can get. These two flexi's were the basis for Bomis Prendin's inclusion on Steven Stapleton's now-legendary "Nurse With Wound" list. - Miles Anderson

The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning this afternoon for Buffalo Creek near Gardenville, Cazenovia Creek Near Ebenezer and Cayuga Creek near Lancaster.
Minor flooding is forecast as creeks spill over their banks from rain runoff, and minor flooding could be seen in low lying areas of Lancaster and Alden. Minor flooding also can be expected in low lying areas east of Orchard Park Road and south of Ridge Road in West Seneca, and in parts of Cazenovia Park In South Buffalo.
The flood warning is in effect until Friday morning.
Also, National Grid was working to restore power outtages affecting 1,099 customers in Lewiston and 157 in the Tonawandas reported mid-afternoon. National Grid spokesmen said they expect to have full power restored to the customers in both areas by about 5:45 p.m.
As of Wednesday, 4.02 inches of rain has been recorded in Buffalo in June, and another 0.4 inches fell by 8 a.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
That's well above the average rainfall this time of year. The norm for the first 12 days of June is 1.51 inches, and the average total for the entire month is 3.82 inches. It's too early to tell whether the month will end on a dry note and be in the average range, or the pattern of precipitation will continue.
But here's some good news about what seems like never-ending rain: It will end soon.
"It looks like today will be the last day of steady, all-day rain," said meteorologist Jon Hitchcock of the National Weather Service.
Don't put away the umbrellas and galoshes just yet. There could be a couple more showers Friday morning before it starts drying out in the afternoon.
Here's some better news: Saturday looks like a really nice day with sunshine and highs in the low to mid 70s, Hitchcock said.
A persistent storm system has left much of the country getting rain, or as Hitchcock said, "There's a lot of people sharing in our misery."
After drying out a bit, there is a another chance of rain Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, but the systems are not as organized as what we're seeing Thursday, and the rain will not last as long, he said.
"It looks like after today we might be turning a corner toward a better pattern," Hitchcock said.
Let's hope it doesn't have webbed feet.

Dietary fat has always been a hot topic for debate. It's good one day, bad the next. From the emergence of the Atkins diet several decades ago to the fat-free craze in the early 90s, dietary fat has been alternately embraced by many and shunned by others.
It's safe to say that at least amidst all of the confusion, there is agreement among most experts that quality is crucial and we have to shift our focus away from simply "fat is good" or "fat is bad." Sure, there is still some debate about quality fat—some say butter is the new healthy food and coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat. But what's true? And why can't we all just get along?
So here to sort through all the hype is what I'm calling the "Fit Fat Guide," a step-by-step guide of what to choose, and what to lose.
Dietary Fat 101
First things first, artificial trans fat is dangerous. It increases your risk of heart disease. It may be tied to causing an increase in dangerous belly fat, which makes it doubly bad, and so much more. So anytime you see the word hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated on a food ingredient list, put the item back on the shelf!
Photo By Stephen VanHorn/Fotolia
There's another fat that is just as bad as trans fat, and it may surprise you. It's soybean oil. Though you may not use soybean oil in and of itself, it's in many packaged, processed products. Don't believe me? Check out most foods in your cabinets and refrigerator.
Why the alarm over such a common oil used in so many food products? The fat within soybean oil is mainly an omega-6 fat. And this is dangerous for many reasons. First, it increases inflammation throughout the body; inflammation is the underlying issue for most diseases. And too much omega-6 fats "block" the crucial omega-3 fats. So nix the omega-6s and eat the omega-3s.
In plain English that means avoiding ingredients like soybean oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, and most processed foods (including many salad dressings). Instead, swap those for olive oil, canola oil, quality fish oil, fish, nuts and flax.
Without trying to sound alarming, a recent report suggested omega-3 fat deficiency causes 96,000 deaths per year (only behind high salt intake for dietary causes of death) and above trans fat intake, which I mentioned earlier.
I always like to focus on what to add to the diet, rather than what to take away...
...So, step 1: Add a quality omega-3 fish oil product like Nordic Naturals to the diet. Step 2: Replace the less healthy omega-6 fats mentioned above with some higher-quality fat choices I listed.
Doing both of these can seriously improve your health and fortunately, and they're easy steps to implement.

We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting their faces for their favorite golfer.
We asked a gaggle of writers, from the Web, from print, from books, even a TV guy or two, to tell us, in as many or as little words as they need, why My Team Is Better Than Your Team. This is not meant to be factual, or dispassionate, or even logical: We just asked them to riff on why they love their team so much, or what their team means to them, or whatever. We will be running two a day until the beginning of the NFL season.
Right now: the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. Your author is Will Leitch.
Will Leitch is the editor of Deadspin. His words are after the jump.
Before I get started here, I'd like to ask you a legitimate question: Do you know any Arizona Cardinals fans?
I wonder whether you do. I don't personally know any other Arizona Cardinals fans, and I am an Arizona Cardinals fan. Whenever I head to a bar to watch Sunday football, I never see anybody else in a Buzzsaw jersey. I don't receive emails from fellow Buzzsaw fans encouraging me to keep the faith. I'm not sure there are any. They have to be out there, right? I can't be the only one.
So, if you're out there, please let me know, because I never have anyone to talk about the Buzzsaw with. Part of the job description of "sports fan" is to bitch about my team with like-minded sorts, but in this case (as with many), there just might not be anyone like-minded. We're like the dodo, but, you know, dumber.
Anyway. You're probably wondering why I like the Buzzsaw.
A friend of mine (not James Frey, if you're wondering) told me recently how difficult his life as a Cleveland Browns fan was. He said the usual things fans talk about when complaining about their teams; they don't care enough about their fans, they don't have a concrete plan in place and (of course the most important) they'd never made it to a Super Bowl. (As fans, we have all kinds of different whines and empty threats about our team, but it ultimately just comes down to winning, like everything does.) My friend went on for a while about this, because that's what he does.
I told him I had little sympathy for him. In my warped universe, if he were any kind of real fan, he would have celebrated his first Super Bowl win three years ago ... and he'd have a helluva lot better chance at making the playoffs this year too.
A confession: I am an fan of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. I did not grow up in Arizona — I've never actually been to Arizona — my last name is not Bidwell and I do not just really like pain. I grew up in Southern Illinois, about two hours from St. Louis, and the Big Red was my team. I loved Neil Lomax and Stump Mitchell and Roy Green and even Pat Tilley. I remember when they lost to Dallas 21-16 in the last game of the 1987 season, costing them a chance at the playoffs for the first non-strike season since I was born.
I remember it because it was the last game they ever played as the St. Louis Cardinals; they packed and moved to Arizona that summer, where they could alienate a whole other generation and region of loyalists. (I've always wondered if they would have stayed had they won that game.) Fans in St. Louis, to my surprise, rebelled against the team immediately; owner Bill Bidwell remains the least popular sports figure in the normally forgiving city, nearly 20 years later.
But not to me. I loved the Buzzsaw, and I didn't see any reason to stop. In today's NFL, being a fan is a year-round job; at the end of the season, you've got your free agency period and then the draft and then your salary cap cut date and next thing you know, it's training camp. Because of Bidwell's "betrayal" - which of course any owner in the sport would do if it were profitable for them - suddenly everyone abandoned the team. But how?
That is to say: When, exactly, was I supposed to switch loyalties? Was there one day that I cared about Vai Sikahema, and another when I was supposed to just stop? I read some piece of information about the Buzzsaw every day of the year. I know the 53-man roster, I know the draft picks, I know the coaching staff, I know the name of the guy who plays the mascot. It's a full-time job, rooting for a football team ... so how am I just supposed to say, "All right, yesterday I cared about these players, but now I care about these"? I couldn't do that if I wanted to. If you can just switch in an offseason, all we have left is chaos; no one is actually a fan of their team. Not really.
And as for "abandoning" a city ... please. On the whole, NFL teams and their fans live in the same city about, oh, 27 days a year. A team and its fans have as much in common as your hand and that vending machine. It's all sentiment.
So the only true sentiment is picking your team, and sticking with it. Sure, I wish I might have picked a better team, but that has nothing to do with team movement. True fans stay around, no matter what; people from Houston should root for the Titans, people from Charlotte should root for the Hornets and people from Minnesota should root for the Dallas Stars. Otherwise, you're the one who's disloyal.
So I looked and my friend and just shook my head. I didn't want to hear it; if he were a real fan, he'd have had his Super Bowl. Six years ago, over the New York Giants. Trent Dilfer was the MVP. You can look it up.
(Oh, for those who keep asking: There's no real reason I refer to the team as The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. They were 4-12 a few years ago, and, in a mocking email to some friends, I referred to the terror opponents face when they run into The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. I continue to call them this, and the only reason I can think of is Tourette's.)
(Ah, you're asking about this year's team. Warner's gonna stay healthy all year, James will run for 1,800 yards, Leonard Pope will make the Pro Bowl ... and they'll go 9-7 and miss the playoffs. You know what? That'll be fine.)

Did you stumble on this blog about genealogy by chance?
Genealogy attracts a lot of people searching for their ancestors.
Last year, Robin, who lives on the West Coast, scanned close to 100 pictures. I was quite excited about them especially these tin-type photographs.
Robin is not even directly related to these people. Her husband is.
Only one person was identified.
David Nathanael Bleau.
Every picture Robin sent me about him and his descendants are on this blog. This is what we do.
We share all and try to identify every one. We ask for nothing in return and we don't sell coffee mugs or phony coats of arm.
This picture remains a mystery concerning the two children.
Helen Alexander would be photographed here and she would be the mother. The children's father would be Joseph Bleau, David's brother, but he is not on this picture.
Their grandparents are on it though: Jean-Baptiste Alexandre (Alexander) and Philomène Lagacé (Libbie Lagasse) both of French-Canadian descent.
What about them…?
These documents Fran sent me two days ago tell a lot about them.
Jean-Baptiste Alexander's death certificate
Philomene Lagasse's death certificate
About this montage…
The man on the right, top row?
We did not know who he was a few months ago.
Now we know for sure and now we know a lot more about how John B. Alexander died,
Jean-Baptiste Alexander II's death certificate
Still puzzled?

monsoon bedding
From Saigal to terrorism in one easy swoop may be a recipe for disaster, but then not all of you have to deal with seriously terrible weather, and bad news on the telly round-the-clock. I have received impassioned responses to my last blog. Which means I am not alone in feeling the way I do. The miracle of the moment is the remarkable restraint shown by the people of Ahemedabad... and let's acknowledge that.Given the level of provocation,it is to their credit there was no talk of retaliation or retribution. Allah be praised. Jai Shri Krishna.The only high point of the slow weekend was a movie called 'No shortcut to happiness.' Despite the lousy reviews, I liked it (in bits).Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin ? How bad can they be?? This was followed by dinner at 'Olive' - the new one at the race course. My heart went out to the horses in adjoining stables.Imagine having to put up with rowdy humans trying a bit too hard to appear hip and cool.The food was pricey and called Italian. Shall we take the chef's word for it and not tell the Italians???

I came across your blog from one of the gay celebrity blogs that I frequent. I am actually surprised to see you here because somewhere inside me, I thought, being an admirer of your articles, that I wouldn't be writing to you. I'll add you to my blog roll.
And about the weekend, yeah mine's been the same. And guess what, I watched 'A Shortcut to Happiness' as well. I loved the men in there!

hey de,
o m g, no saigal suicide please... so jaa raj kumaari... i was trying to imagine you with a face pack listening to saigal. couldnt even imagine completely.
yes, this over exposure by the media, and their theories being flashed again and again, sometimes psychologically works wonders. this ahemedabadi restraint is one sych case. every channel was stating that this is an attempt to make ignite a hindu-muslim riot as it is a sensitive area. so probably, they understood that they were being made pawns.
horses, mahalaxmi ke, i have heard go to haffkine institute when they are no more winning studs. they then bleed for antivenom vaccines. mallaya, should concentrate on horses and not just his femenine horsepowers...

Thankfully I have never listened to Saigal!:)
I have always admired your writing and your attitude to life.I used to read that column you used to write for 'The week' many many years back.(I think i was in school--or maybe college) It has this lovely sketch of you beside your byline. Someday I wanted a bit of the same for myself (To write in mags and write a book) And now it has come true!

8 alleged gang members appear in Oldham County court
Eight alleged gang members appeared in an Oldham County courtroom Monday morning.
App users: Tap here to watch the video
Police believe four of them planned to carry out a double murder plot.
One by one, each suspect came face to face with the judge.
Casey Endicott, 18, Keaton Lee, 19, Roger Wilson and 22-year-old Thomas Wenz face the most serious charge -- conspiracy to commit murder.
Police said they were keeping an eye on a home for possible drug activity when they arrested the suspects.
That's when police say they discovered the alleged plot to kill two men.
Investigators say all this was all taking place at Gabrielle Beach's home.
Her family denies that she was involved.
"She is a very loving and caring person she has a big heart you know and for this to happen to her is unbelievable," Crystal Price, Beach's sister.
Beach and three other suspects are facing several drug-related charges.
All are scheduled to appear back in court on October 23.

The night I fell in love with U2This was the night that I realised that no other band could raise me up and make me feel as U2 can. nearly 20 years later I feel exactly the same way - I have never felt so in sync with the messages that the band are trying to send out - No one does it better or even comes close - The band demand to be close to their fans during their performances and in return the fans fill the stadiums with raw emotion and love -

To be considered important or noteworthy; within the spectrum of (someone's) awareness, attention, or consideration. If you want this issue to be on the radar of mainstream America, you have to frame it as something that will hit people in their wallets. The band was hugely popular in the '80s, but they haven't been on the radar screen in the last decade or so.

The haunting wildlife photography of David Yarrow
By Frances Cha, CNN • Published 26th November 2013
View Gallery
12 Pictures
One thing makes Scottish photographer David Yarrow's work stand out from a world of wildlife photography -- a unique point of view.
African elephants tower over you, lions stare balefully into your eyes, tigers look up from the water and rhinoceros charge straight at you.
It can be a bit unsettling -- this feeling of feeling a little close to the animal.
The unusual angles are the result of hours of research and elaborate planning, as well as countless trial and error in the field.
Yarrow's new book, "
," gathers 87 of his most stunning images, taken in some of the most remote parts of the world, in the dreariest of seasons, in the most dramatic light.
We spoke with the photographer at a recent exhibit in Hong Kong -- where his larger images were selling for more than $15,000 -- where he'd come just after a show at the
Saatchi Gallery
in London.
CNN: What's been your most gratifying experience in the field?
David Yarrow:
With these animals you've got to photograph them in a way that they haven't been seen, or else the shot comes out boring.
The shark photo was the result of 30 hours of waiting on a boat deck in Cape Town.
It's impossible to know when the shark will come out of the water, so you have to focus on the baby seals and hope a shark is eying it too.
9 not-in-the-guidebook Africa safari tips
Sharks only predate out of the water if the waters are calm and they'll only do it in the first hour after sunrise, and this only happens off Cape Town in July.
The first few days I went out, there was nothing.
But the belief that you'll (get the shot), to never give up, is important.
CNN: There's a shot of a lioness we can't stop looking at
David Yarrow:
I worked for a long time for the shot of the lioness.
We scented the camera casing in Old Spice and she came straight up to the camera.
Perhaps my most important work in this exhibition is the photograph of the rhinoceros. Rhinoceros have these amazing jawlines that you don't usually get to see because they are not photographed from angles where you can see them.
Days of failure are often the prerequisite for success for Yarrow.
courtesy david yarrow
For this photo I set up the camera in the watering hole, to get this unusual angle, and got this shot at night at 10 p.m. after days of failure.
CNN: How about frightening encounters?
David Yarrow:
The only moment of terror I've had was when I met a bear in Alaska.
You really aren't supposed to be on your own, but I was, and it was a big grizzly that had just come back from eating salmon. Thank goodness it wasn't hungry.
You're told what to do when you meet a bear -- you're not supposed to run away, you're supposed to talk to them.
My heard was pounding so hard and it was difficult to get anything to come out of my mouth but then I started talking. "Hello Mr. Bear, how are you." And then it just looked at me and walked away.
CNN: What's your favorite time of year to take picture
David Yarrow:
It depends on what I am photographing.
For Africa, I like to go in October. It's the end of the dry season and you get these big thunderclouds for a backdrop.
You don't want blue skies when you are photographing -- blue skies are boring -- and you can't get these dramatic shots of light with blue skies.
7 things every first-time Africa traveler should know
I like to go to the Arctic in May and June, when it's less cold. Not that it's not cold -- I still got frostbite -- but it's better than other months.
"Blue skies are boring," says Yarrow (left).

And then I like to go to Japan in January. I go shoot the snow monkeys.
CNN: Which cameras do you use?
David Yarrow:
Nikons -- D3S and D800.
CNN: Do you travel alone or with people?
David Yarrow:
I go alone. People usually don't want to go when and where I'm going.
I want to go when it's raining, and where no one's around!
CNN: How long does it usually take to get the photograph you want?
David Yarrow:
You can't just show up on Sunday and expect to leave on Monday. After you do all the research, get to know the animals' habits, then if you turn up on Sunday and get a good picture by Thursday that's a good job.
CNN: Where do you recommend for safaris?
The prices tell you everything.
I like Botswana, Kenya, Zambia and Namibia.
I wouldn't recommend South Africa.
For photographing, I don't like to go to the parks where they don't let you get out of the car. You can't get the good angles if you stay in the car.

Going to any lengths for sobriety
For these young men, the story isn't about getting sober, staying sober, or even about climbing a mountain. It's about second chances and taking chances.
Tommy Chester and Andy Thomas [left to right] are both first-year students in Augsburg's StepUP® Program. Both tried to go to college twice and failed miserably they say, and both were scared to go to treatment for their addiction. Today they're using the second chance they've been given to help others, specifically by climbing to the summit of Mt. Rainier.
"One night we were talking about what we like, what's important to us, and about the concept of vocation brought up in our religion class," Chester says. They also talked about their own fears related to recovery and about how treatment programs, which can be very expensive, are difficult for many individuals and families.
While they were together at Gray Wolf Ranch in the Pacific Northwest, they started a project named Summit for Sobriety. Their project ultimately led them to the 4806 Foundation, an organization that provides funding to young people seeking recovery from substance abuse.
Thomas and Chester both enjoy the outdoors and have active lifestyles, but their hobbies and interests took a back seat to their addiction in the past. Thomas says, "When I was active in my addiction, I would walk across the city without shoes in a snowstorm to buy drugs."
Now, he applies that same tenacity to his recovery and is willing to "go to any lengths" to maintain his sobriety. This summer, the young men will load up their gear and hike to the summit of Mt. Rainier, but their ultimate goal is to raise $25,000 to support the 4806 Foundation. They see this project as an opportunity to do something they enjoy while supporting an important cause.
In addition to raising money, Thomas and Chester want Summit for Sobriety to show young people that a life in recovery can be rewarding. "I didn't know anything about recovery," Chester says, "and I thought 12-step programs were for hardcore bums in the street." He hopes the example of his life will show others that "fairly normal" people can recover from addiction and enjoy their lives without alcohol and drugs.
Both of the men say they don't want this story or this project to be about them. "For us this is about helping people," Thomas says. They know that an important part of staying sober is being of service to others. "We're willing to take the leap so others know that the gift of recovery is possible."
"This whole thing," says Chester, "is about taking a big chance."

How to Cook Grilled Chicken That Isn't Boring
Too many home cooks are afraid of salt and experimenting with seasonings. Add more salt and more spices than you think you need - you're probably underestimating.istockphoto.com
Brine your bird
If you aren't brining your chicken, you're missing out. Brining before cooking helps to ensure you cook a juicy, tender piece of meat. You can use a dry brine or a wet brine, depending on how much time you have. A dry brine is quicker, while a wet brine is typically left overnight. A classic wet brine is done by immersing chicken in salt dissolved in water. However, you can add other things to your brine, as well. This recipe, for instance, brines chicken in Earl Grey tea. When grilling chicken, though, you want to make sure the bird is fully dry before you put it on the grill. Forgetting to pat chicken dry is a common cooking mistake that could cost you.istockphoto.com
Add lemon
A little lemon goes a long way - and the citrus fruit complements chicken quite nicely. Adding lemon to a basic cut of chicken can turn boring chicken into something you're excited to eat. Not sure how to use it? Here are a few recipes that use lemon to spark your imagination.istockphoto.com
Lemon-Caper Grilled Chicken
This recipe uses the salty addition of capers to class up a basic cut of chicken breast. All you need is lemon, a few spices and some capers to seriously elevate a quick chicken dinner into something fantastic.

Whole Grilled Chicken With Citrus Butter
This zesty recipe pairs the zing of lemon with an array of spicy flavors. Chili powder and a cilantro-filled avocado sauce add flair to this delightful grilled chicken recipe.

Use a marinade
You really can't go wrong with a marinade. To marinate chicken, you simply need to soak the cuts of chicken in a mixture of spices and sauces. The flavor seeps into the meat as it marinates and transforms the flavor once you cook it. There are a myriad of marinades you can try. Experiment a little! Though you would typically stick to this simple formula: one acidic ingredient (lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar, for example), a fatty ingredient (such as an oil), seasonings and some additional ingredients to zest things up. Here are a few recipes that use a marinade to get your creative juices flowing.istockphoto.com
Easy Mediterranean Grilled Chicken
This simple Mediterranean whole chicken recipe uses a marinade of oregano and chopped garlic along with salt, pepper and lemon. Adding oregano gives it that extra bit of flavor with hardly any extra effort.
Click here for the Easy Mediterranean Grilled Chicken recipe.Perdue Chicken
Flash-Grilled Chicken Breasts With Orange-Maple Syrup Sauce
This marinade uses orange, orange zest and maple syrup to add some pizzazz to the chicken before it's thrown on the grill. Use these strips of chicken in a citrusy salad or eat them with a side of sweet potatoes for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Italian Marinated Grilled Chicken
One of the more commonly used marinades is an Italian-style one. It's super easy because all you really need are some spices and a bottle of Italian dressing. Zero creativity or effort required - and the results don't disappoint.

Japanese Grilled Chicken Skewers
Making chicken skewers is a good way to switch things up and make your basic grilled chicken more fun to eat. You can add whatever you want to the skewers with the chicken, too. Mushrooms, peppers, pinapple... Whatever you have on hand. The marinade in this recipe is made with tare sauce, a Japanese dipping sauce used for grilled recipes and sushi.
Click here for the Japanese Grilled Chicken Skewers recipe.istockphoto.com
Thai Marinated Grilled Chicken Skewers
These chicken skewers are made with a dense marinade and then topped with a coconut peanut sauce - they're the opposite of boring. You only need to marinate them for around an hour, but it's recommended to let them sit longer. The longer they marinate, the deeper the flavor profile you end up with.

Spicy Greek Yogurt and Lime Marinated Chicken
Using habanero powder really spices things up with this quick and healthy recipe. The marinade uses Greek yogurt to cool things down and then kicks up the heat with paprika, lime and habanero. Dip the spicy chicken pieces in Greek yogurt for a refreshing, tasty dish.

Grilled Orange-Ginger Chicken
This Asian-inspired marinade goes great with chicken, but works well with other protein sources such as flank steak, pork tenderloin and probably even tofu.
Click here for the Grilled Orange-Ginger Chicken recipe.McCormick
Grilled Moroccan Spice Chicken
Mix things up with this Moroccan-style recipe. Save time by massaging the marinade into the chicken instead of letting it sit for longer in the refrigerator. With this recipe of strong, aromatic spices, it still works just fine.
Click here for the Grilled Moroccan Spice Chicken recipe.McCormick
Make a sauce
Whatever boredom isn't resolved before cooking can easily be cured after - by adding sauce. Whether it's a dipping sauce or a sauce you pour over your chicken, any creamy or spicy sauce recipe can take your grilled chicken to another level. Here are a few you might enjoy.istockphoto.com
Grilled Chicken With Alabama White Sauce
The grilled chicken in this recipe is super simple - it's not until the tangy, peppery sauce is added that things really heat up. Alabama white sauce is a unique regional style and one of the only mayonnaise-based barbecue sauces. Use it for dipping or pour it over your plate.
Click here for the Grilled Chicken With Alabama White Sauce recipe.istockphoto.com
Ginger Garlic Asian Grilled Chicken
This recipe makes for a quick and healthy meal that's far from boring. Ginger and garlic add lots of flavor to otherwise basic chicken and vegetables, and both ingredients are actually really good for you, too. Use the sherry-based sauce liberally and serve with rice for a complete meal.
Click here for the Ginger Garlic Asian Grilled Chicken recipe.Perdue Chicken
Grilled Chicken Wings With Jalapeño Barbecue Sauce
Turn up the heat with a spicy wing sauce that only takes 10 minutes to make. Eat these fiery grilled chicken wings as an appetizer on game day or as part of your dinner on any day.

Grilled Chicken With Almond and Raspberry Relish
This sweet, simple relish is the perfect thing to try when you get bored with your grilled chicken. It uses summer fruits and the satisfying crunch of almonds, introducing a nice blend of sweet and savory to your palate.

Grilled Chicken With Mustard-Tarragon Sauce
This creamy, Greek yogurt-based sauce is light, flavorful and refreshing. Unlike other creamy sauces, it doesn't rely on mayonnaise, so you can use it more liberally.

Grilled Chicken With Peach Barbecue Sauce
Add some Southern flair to your dinner table with this peach barbecue sauce recipe. The fruity, sweet sauce has a kick from the red pepper, but offers a great alternative to spicy sauces for those more wary of fiery barbecue.

Grilled Chicken With Watermelon Barbecue Sauce
This is the perfect grilled chicken recipe for summer. It'll liven up any barbecue with the classic taste of watermelon and a light, refreshing side salad.

Try smoking it
You might not think to smoke something you're cooking on the grill, but the extra step adds a whole new layer of flavor. If you don't own a smoker, there are ways to get around that. But the recipes below use a smoker to bring out the tender, robust flavor of grilled chicken.istockphoto.com
Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings
You literally only need one ingredient to make these crazy good chicken wings. All the flavor comes from the cooking method. The recipe recommends you dip them in blue cheese, too, because why not?
Click here for the Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings recipe.istockphoto.com
Smoked Chicken Wings
If you're ready to become the master of multiple cooking methods, this recipe is for you. These chicken wings are not only smoked, but they're also brined, seasoned and paired with savory sauces. And did we mention they were grilled? Dang, these chicken wings truly couldn't be any more perfect.

Make it into a salad
Some grilled chicken salads can be seriously sad. But if you know how to make a salad that doesn't put you to sleep, grilled chicken salad can be the cure to your lunchtime boredom. Don't stop at grilled chicken Caesar - though, some say it's the perfect meal. Try adding fruit, seeds, grains and other out-of-the-box add-ins to your salad so you never eat a sad salad again.istockphoto.com
Grilled Chicken Salad With Spiced Pecans, Gorgonzola and Peaches
This salad is simple to make, but tastes far from basic. The spiced pecans add a little extra cook time, but the crunchy, satisfying topping is worth the effort. The soft peaches offset the crunch of the pecans and the chicken adds some much-desired protein to the mix. A Dijon-honey and balsamic vinaigrette tops this sweet salad perfectly.

Thai Grilled Chicken Salad
This salad takes something ordinary - a grilled chicken salad - and makes it out of the ordinary by taking inspiration from Thai food. The chicken is marinated in a spicy coconut marinade and fried shallots add a satisfying crunch.

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
And, of course, don't discount the classic grilled chicken Caesar salad. It is the perfect meal, after all!

Practice makes perfect
If you make one bad batch of grilled chicken for dinner, don't give up. The more experience you get cooking chicken, the better you'll get at it. No matter the recipe you use, ensure you have a delicious grilled chicken that isn't dry by relying on tried and true cooking techniques. Your chicken will get more and more tender and flavorful the better you learn to avoid making the same common grilled chicken cooking mistakes.

Texas House will eye drivers' texting
S.A. already has a ban of its own.
Six seconds before the collision, while driving 50 mph on Loop 410, Shad Christopher Modesett looked away from the road and typed a text message.
"You think it won't happen to you, of course," he said of the February 2012 crash that severely injured Police Officer Jonathan Esquivel. "At the time, I did whatever without really thinking."
Although prohibited in San Antonio, texting while driving isn't banned across Texas, something state lawmakers are trying to change.
This week, the Texas House will discuss legislation that would make it illegal for motorists to "read, write or send a text-based communication while operating a motor vehicle unless the vehicle is stopped."
Gov. Rick Perry, who vetoed a similar proposal two years ago, has hinted he would do so again if the bill reaches his desk, saying: "The key to dissuading drivers from texting while they drive is information and education, not government micromanagement."
Over the years, Modesett said, he had sent thousands of text messages while driving, an all-too-common habit that experts said is deadly.
Last year, about 90,000 crashes in Texas involving distracted drivers killed 453 people and seriously injured 18,400, the Texas Department of Transportation reports.
And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says nearly one in six traffic crashes in the U.S. in 2011 that caused bodily injury involved a distracted driver.
In San Antonio, where texting while driving was banned two years ago, police have issued 1,400 citations since 2011.
At least 24 other Texas cities have also prohibited motorists from texting, as have 39 states, along with Guam and the District of Columbia.
Would Modesett, now awaiting trial on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the crash that left Esquivel with a traumatic brain injury and a half-dozen broken bones, support a statewide ban?
"Yes," he said without hesitation. "It's almost impossible to text and drive. You just can't do it."

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Distracted Driving
San Antonio's prohibition
• The ordinance went into effect on Jan. 15, 2011, after a 90-day grace period
• The ban prohibits using a "hand-held mobile communication device to send, read or write a text message, view pictures or written text, whether transmitted by Internet or other electronic means, engage in gaming or any other use of the device, besides dialing telephone numbers or talking to another person, while operating a moving motor vehicle."
• Under the ordinance, drivers are also prohibited from using cellphones for anything besides calling — even when stopped at red lights.
• The ordinance includes an exception for public safety personnel during the course of their official duties.
Source: San Antonio Municipal Code
Every second matters
Research has found that texting takes drivers' eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds. When they look up again, their response times are slower, too, according to an experiment by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
Several of the 42 study participants crashed while writing a text message or reading one, said Christine Yager with the TTI. And based on the time it took motorists to push a button when a light blinked, both activities caused delays.
Pennsylvania State Police Sgt. Jerry Oberdorf, who recently sat on a National Transportation Safety Board's distracted driving panel, said spotting distracted drivers isn't difficult but takes some training. He said officers in his state have been trained to look out for inattentive motorists since texting was banned there in 2011.
"Were they weaving? Were they driving inattentively, slowing down and picking up speed? Going into turns too fast?" he said. "They try to maintain a certain distance from the car in front of them, but they're distracted for so long that when they realize the car has stopped, it's too late."
Modesett, 41, said that after he sent the text, he plugged in his phone, took a sip of water and dropped the bottle, which caused him to take his eyes off the road.
When he looked up, he saw Esquivel standing behind his police car. Modesett said he swerved twice but was unsuccessful at avoiding the six-year officer.
Esquivel has hired attorney Andy Cline, who's looking into suing Modesett, and Esquivel's insurance company has filed a claim seeking to recover auto damages and personal injury costs. Ten surgeries and 14 months later, he still hasn't returned to work.
A police spokesman said Esquivel couldn't comment, citing the open investigation.
Message spreads nationally
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at any given moment, 9 percent of American motorists are "using cellphones or manipulating electronic devices while driving."
The rate is higher in Texas: TTI researchers who observed drivers in 22 counties, including Bexar, found 10 percent of Texas' 15 million motorists use their cellphones throughout the day.
Teenagers — who are banned from texting and driving in Texas and five other states — are the most likely to engage in the activity, studies show.
NHTSA's research also shows that despite the rapid adoption of state bans since 2007, the percentage of motorists who text hasn't changed. So, some experts ask, is prohibiting the widespread habit effective?
"There's no question that texting behind the wheel is dangerous and distracting," said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "But unfortunately, the laws that have been enacted so far haven't had the desired effect."
He quotes a study that examines how the bans have affected crashes, published in the Highway Loss Data Institute's September 2010 Bulletin. Based on insurance claims, four states studied showed no decrease in crashes after adopting texting bans.
"The unexpected consequence of banning texting suggests that texting drivers have responded to the law, perhaps by attempting to avoid fines by hiding their phones from view," the bulletin states.
Rader said there are no plans to update the study, which many experts refute, saying the scope was limited to insurance claims.
Meanwhile, agencies including the U.S. Transportation Department and Governors Highway Safety Association continue to push bans on driver texting, along with high-visibility enforcement and education.
"We continue to weigh the evidence," a NHTSA statement says, "and at this point believe that the science best supports bans on texting while driving."
Although crash data don't yet exist in San Antonio to determine whether the citywide ban has changed driver behavior and reduced crashes, Mayor Julián Castro and Police Chief William McManus said it has been successful.
S.A. ordinance
During Spring Break, SAPD officers working on a seat belt and texting initiative ticketed 172 drivers — more than had been cited at that point all year — and wrote 424 tickets for seat belt violations.
While the offense is tough to spot, McManus said his force has become more attentive to drivers who are texting, an infraction that results in a traffic ticket. There is no specific penalty for texting that causes a crash with serious bodily injury or a fatality, McManus said, but cases sometimes go to the district attorney's office for a possible indictment.
"It is more difficult to observe people doing that than running a red light or speeding," he said. "There is difficulty in enforcing it, but given the dangers of texting and driving, it is a priority. If an officer observes it, they're not going to ignore it."
The challenge is evident in the number of citations issued since the ban was enacted. The total figure pales in comparison to tickets San Antonio police issue for improper use or failure to use safety belts. According to Municipal Court, police cited 3,681 motorists last fiscal year for not wearing their seat belts. During the calendar year, 785 motorists were cited for texting while driving.
In 2011, there were 4,921 people cited for not wearing their seat belts and 328 ticketed for texting.
The tickets rarely are disputed. Based on Municipal Court data, three texting cases went to trial in 2011. Ten went to trial in 2012, and 14 have gone to trial so far this year.
"The majority of the cases plea out," said Joe Niño, the city's deputy city attorney. "It's difficult to make these kinds of cases because it's based on the officer visually seeing what appears to be texting. But people usually know when they've been caught."
Some say they were making a phone call, which is legal, or using their GPS, which the ordinance prohibits unless the device is mounted. Only one person has been ticketed more than once on the charge: San Antonio College student Evan Baker, 25, received two tickets in 2012, according to municipal court data.
"After getting a ticket two times, I'm at a point where I'd rather just pull over," Baker said. The ordinance "does work because of the mere fact that it's being enforced and that makes me not want to do it."
In California, where texting was made illegal for motorists in 2009, the number of violations issued has nearly doubled each year, but experts there say the law alone hasn't effected change — enforcement and education are a must.
Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, agrees, and said he has included a federal funding component in House Bill 63, which will be heard this week.
Craddick said fellow legislators have pledged their support. One legislator initially planned to oppose the bill, he said, but then changed his mind several days later after a good friend's daughter was killed in a crash while texting and driving. He wouldn't disclose the lawmaker's name.
"It made him really stop and think," Craddick said. "It's a shame that people have to come to a realization about something tragic like that."
Modesett's realization came when he was arrested after a grand jury indicted him in connection with the crash.
Although he admits to being distracted when he hit Esquivel, Modesett, a single father of four, doesn't think he did anything criminal. He'll never text and drive again, he said, and eventually wants to encourage others to do the same.
"Would I advocate? For sure. But first, I have to think about my kids and how to provide for them," he said, adding that the crash cost him his job and he now relies on unemployment and government aid. "It was still an accident. I didn't want to hurt nobody, texting or not."

Social media users are abuzz following a gaffe in which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro reworked a biblical miracle to include the multiplication of penises.
During a speech on education Wednesday, the South American leader misspoke while referencing the passage where Jesus multiplies loaves of bread and fish, using the Spanish word for "penises" (penes) instead of the Spanish word for "fish" (peces).
The slip-up was made as Maduro outlined plans to expand education, saying in Spanish that his government would "go in school by school, child by child, high school by high school, community by community — to embed ourselves in there. To multiply ourselves like Christ multiplied the penises — sorry, the fish — and the bread."
Twitter users spread the word using hashtags such as #EpicFail and posting memes quoting the botched phrase (see below).
The speech was made Wednesday morning from Miranda state, and it marks the second time Maduro has made a mistake during a speech, according to the Latin Times. On Aug. 10, Maduro incorrectly pronounced the Spanish word for "millions," making it a feminine noun instead of a masculine noun, the online publication reported. In Spanish, all nouns are assigned a gender.
Maduro was elected president of Venezuela on April 14 following the death of President Hugo Chavez. As vice president and Chavez's hand-picked successor, Maduro had been appointed acting president following the announcement of Chavez's death on March 5.
Below are some of the reactions on Twitter:

Spotify has received plenty of attention for its app platform, and rightfully so. Rdio also has an app platform, offering access to the same songs, more or less.
Evolver.fm caught up with Rdio vice president of engineering Todd Berman to discuss the one-year anniversary of Rdio's developer API; the service's approach to third-party apps; and his belief that Rdio, Spotify, Rhapsody, and MOG need to start thinking like partners if they want to see streaming music succeed.
The following interview, in which we attempt to find out what is up with Rdio's app platform, has been edited for length and clarity.
Andy Cush, Evolver.fm: Your API Gallery shows eight apps built on the Rdio API, but I have a feeling quite a few aren't represented there. Are there Rdio-powered apps that you'd like to highlight, or that you think that our readers would be particularly interested in?
Todd Berman, Vice President of Engineering, Rdio: Absolutely. One of the things that we're bad at, as I'm looking at our API gallery, is actually updating it. These are all demo apps or hacks or things from forever ago. There's been a bunch of really cool apps built recently. Have you heard of Anthm?
Evolver.fm: Yes, we ran a review about it recently.
Berman: Anthm is built on top of the Rdio API. They're great — we really like what they're doing. There have been a couple other things in the same area, that crowd-playlisting, collaborative real-time mixing sort of stuff that's happening. There's also the AOL Play app, which isn't in the gallery, and SoundTracking, which also uses the Rdio API. There are a lot of API customers out there. One of the bigger ones, recently, was the Grammy music presence, at wearemusic.grammy.com.
There's another app that I'm a big fan of, personally, that's been around a while. It doesn't have the greatest name, as far as communicability, but rrrrradio is this cool real-time playlisting thing. If I'm on here, it shows me a bunch of songs that will play, and it will play for anyone who's on there with me at the exact same time. We can cue songs together and listen to them at the exact same time together. It's like a listening room, but it's only one room. It's pretty cool.
Evolver.fm: You guys released your API about a year ago. Spotify launched [their API to iOS developers in August 2011 and their in-client API in November], and they've garnered quite a bit of buzz — both for the official in-client apps and the third-party web and mobile apps that run on top of Spotify. Can you comment on where Rdio's API strategy is headed in the future, or on Rdio's approach towards third-party developers vs. Spotify's?
Berman: First, their API has been out way longer than ours [April 2009]. Spotify's API has been around forever. The in-app API that they just recently released is relatively new. I think what they've done with Spotify is really cool. It's something that we're very interested in. We've been building our relaunched web product for about six months. One of the early reasons we built it was to look at plugging in external data sources — you can call them apps, you can call them pages, whatever you want to call them. As we rebuilt the Web experience it was important to us to give people a place to plug in to the Rdio client, on the Web and on the desktop.
It's something that we're definitely taking a long look at, but we're hesitant to launch an app platform that puts developers into this quandary of, "Well, I use Rdio, so I'll build an Rdio app, but my friend is on Spotify, so now I'll have to build two apps that are totally different."
The last thing we want to do is engage in a developer war with a company that, for all practical intents and purposes, should be one of our closest partners. We look at Spotify as more of a partner company than anything else. We're all trying to grow the subscription music space, because it's not a space right now that's big enough to sustain one business, let alone the five that are in it. If you look at some of our messaging in the press, you'll see that, for us, it's all about the rising tide, working together, and growing the space in general.
There's a lot of consumer messaging and education that has to happen. There's no value is gaining one- or two-percent market share by having this app or that app, when the reality is, we need to convince everyone that this way of accessing and acquiring music is the best way for them, and the best way for artists to deliver music to their fans.
Evolver.fm: That's a refreshing way of looking at it.
Berman: I like to think it's the only way to look at it. We've reached out to Spotify, and we're reaching out to the other players at MOG and Rhapsody, who we have a good relationship with, and saying, "Hey, let's all work together on building a unified app platform for developers."
I have a couple of friends who use Spotify over Rdio. I don't know why I'm still friends with them — you'd think, out of friendship, they would throw me a bone. About a month ago, I was talking to one of them, who's an amazing designer, and he said to me, "I wish I had someone who would work with me on this feature for Spotify's app platform, I have an idea that I think would be cool." I thought to myself, "This is such a great idea. I'm a software engineer and I would happily help you, but I don't use Spotify." So what, now I have to write a Spotify app?
But if he could design an app that works on everything — and he could, there's no reason he couldn't — and I could build an app that works on everything — it's just JavaScript, it's just HTML — then we can work together, building something that could provide value for everyone. Whether they're Spotify users, Rdio users, MOG users, Rhapsody users, whatever, they could look at this and say, "Oh, this is a reason to pay a service for access to this application."
All that really needs to happen is the right people at each streaming service, and anyone else who is interested in this better platform, getting together for a series of phone calls, hack days, that sort of stuff, and just feeding some ideas back and forth.
There's no reason that all of this shouldn't be interoperable. It's not like 1997, where you go to a Web site and it's like, "Oh, this only works in Internet Explorer 4." That's just not how the internet works anymore. There's no reason to throw back to that.
It's just all about a meeting of the minds, more than anything, but from a technical perspective, each service is going to have to do a lot of work to allow these apps to run inside their container. But there's no insurmountable technical reason that this is impossible.
Evolver.fm: We had a conversation recently with one of the cofounders of SpotON Radio, a popular app that runs on Spotify. He made an interesting point about where he thinks the relationship between third-party developers and music streaming services is going –basically comparing the streaming services to network service providers.
In the future, he believes your biggest asset as a streaming service is going to be your library itself, rather than your interface, or your social features, or whatever. It's going to be about the music as data, and people will be more interested in how third parties can interact with that data than they will be in who is providing it.
Berman: I agree and disagree. If he's saying that our library is our most valuable feature, I agree completely. The library is going to be the most valuable thing we offer to businesses like his as well as our users. It's the ability to access any song you want, any time you want, wherever you want.
Now, whether that means we no longer innovate on the product side of things, I don't necessarily think that's the case. If that world that he's talking about is really where we we're going, we'd already be there. You can build apps on top of all these platforms; developers already have access to all of this. I think there's still a lot of value in what we provide as a product, whether it's on the best practices side, how to interact with the user over music, or just on the implementation side.
Here's the best way to put it: on your iPhone, you've probably downloaded a ton of apps. How many of those apps have been replacements for the calendar app, or the mail client, or the phone dialer? Those are things that aren't sexy to build, and aren't fun, and are kind of an expected part of the experience. There's still some value in providing the product at that bigger-box level.
However, I would love to live in a world where there's a huge value added provided by third-party developers, because I think there definitely can be. That's something we would be excited about participating in.
Evolver.fm: Is Rdio currently doing anything to incentivize developers to build Rdio-powered apps, or are there any plans to do so?
Berman: We actually incentivize developers now with a lifetime affiliate program. In a world like the one the SpotON guy is talking about, where he's delivering customers to our door, and customers are signing up because they heard about a particular app — if that was happening on Rdio, he'd be making a significant dollar figure, per subscriber, for the lifetime of that subscriber.
Say you're an Rdio user who has a lapsed trial. You tried Rdio, but it wasn't for you. You hear about this great app, you try the great app, and you like it enough that you decide to go back to Rdio. Whoever built that app, I believe he's getting about 40 cents per month for the subscription length of an unlimited subscriber. It's not significant in the individual case, but if he can drive 10,000 signups, and those users stay committed users forever, you're talking about a pretty significant amount of money.
And the beauty of it is that users don't have to continue using the app in order for the developer to continue to make money. It's just about building an app that causes people to check out Rdio and say "Hey, I want to try Rdio because I've heard this app is really good."
Evolver.fm: Do you have numbers for how many subscribers have been driven by third-party apps?
Berman: Not that we're comfortable releasing now, but I can tell you as someone who monitors those numbers that it's a non-insignificant amount of money that's paid out every month. There are a couple of app developers who are happily generating what my friend who's an investment banker calls passive income. They're not doing anything on these apps anymore; these apps are just making money. So it's the best kind of income.
Again, this is something where, across the board, cooperation between services would be great. People may wonder why Rdio and Spotify won't let developers charge money for their apps if they're built on our APIs. Why can't a great app like Anthm charge three bucks, or a dollar? That's all from the content owners. So it's something we're working on with some of these app providers, to go to the content owners and say, "Look, this is how this helps everyone."
It's the rising tide. It's something we're very interested in being cooperatively open about with our other partners in this space, including Spotify, Rdio, Rhapsody, etc. It's just having these conversations at an open level. That's where we're always happy to be.
Evolver.fm: OK, one last thing. What do you say to bands like the Black Keys, who've been vocal about not wanting their music on streaming services because they don't feel like they're making enough money?
Berman: Madonna's last record, the one that just went out last week, sold 400,000 albums and also was available on streaming services from day one. I don't think there's a strong negative correlation between streaming availability and sales numbers. I do think there's a strong correlation between how often your album is pirated and how easy it is for the consumer to get it the way they want, whether that's digital downloads, subscription services, buying it at Amoeba, purchasing it secondhand, whatever it is.
It's all about providing your fans with music the way that they want to consume it, and unfortunately, most music fans think music should be free. I do not. I'm a big believer in renumeration for the artist, because this is what they do for a living. I get where the Black Keys are coming from, and I think that they're well within their rights to do whatever they want with their content.
I will say this as a Black Keys fan: I haven't heard the new album. I won't pirate it, because that's not something I'll do, and they won't give it to me in a way that I want to listen to it anymore, so I just haven't heard it. They lost a fan.
Look at what the TV studios are doing with Netflix. They'll put a DVD out, but not make it available on Netflix for 28 days. The hope is that it will make people more likely to buy the DVD. Maybe that's where we're going, and there will be a windowing process like that for music. Personally, I hope not. My favorite thing to do in the morning is check what new music came out, listen to stuff right away, and share it with my friends. It drives more interest in artists that I care about.
Evolver.fm: So, with windowing, labels would keep popular albums off of the streaming services at first?
Berman: If this space was generating 50 times as much revenue as it is right now, you would assume that the Black Keys' check would be 50 times what it is right now, and all of a sudden that check is a check they want. So I think it all goes back to this idea that the space itself is not big enough yet. Every company in it should be focused on one thing and one thing alone, and that's creating more purchases of subscription music, more subscribers, and more participants, regardless of where the dollar ends up in the short-term.
In the long-term, we need to blow this business up and get many more people interested in the model of access over ownership for music. We need to get rid of this whole idea that, "Oh, this is my song and I must own it," because you don't need to. You just need to be able to hear it whenever you want. That's all that matters.
