ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE ARTS about the artist Laurie Simmons. Laurie Simmons had a substantial part in her daughter Lena Dunham's 2010 film "Tiny Furniture." She played her mother, Siri, a successful New York artist. As Lena sees it, being the daughter of two artists (her father is the painter Carroll Dunham) was a great piece of luck. Simmons found her way into art in 1976, three years after she moved to New York. She had bought a cache of nineteen-fifties doll-house furniture from a failing toy store, and she began building little rooms for the furniture, and photographing them. A friend showed her work to Helene Winer, the director of Artists Space, and Winer gave her a show, in 1979. Simmons and one of her new friends, the photographer Cindy Sherman, soon came to be identified with the Pictures Generation. Simmons and Dunham got married in 1983, and Lena was born in 1986. Describes Simmons's "Walking" series. Mentions the brick house the family bought in Cornwall, Connecticut. In 2005, Simmons made a film called "The Music of Regret," which was later shown at MOMA, the Whitney, the Metropolitan, and several film festivals. Lately, she has been thinking of making another film. Mentions Metro Pictures and Sperone Westwater.

Building a simple digital asset management solution with Glom
Glorious Glom
Desktop databases are perfect for keeping tabs on miscellaneous data – from links and text snippets, to tasks and invoices – but building databases from scratch can be a daunting proposition, unless you use Glom for the job.
The Glom database design tool can help you build simple and relatively complex databases with consummate ease, even if your database development skills are not up to scratch. Although Glom offers pretty much all the functionality you would expect from a serious database application, it hides all the complexity behind a user-friendly interface. In fact, Glom uses the mighty PostgreSQL database management system as its back end, but the application shields users from PostgreSQL's complexity, allowing them to build single and multiuser database solutions without learning all the intricacies of object-relational database models and knowing how to construct SQL queries. In short, if you are looking for a tool that can help you whip up a desktop database with a minimum of effort, Glom is just the ticket.

TUCSON- Arizona has 22 indigenous tribes.
The Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe are the two Southern Arizonans are most familiar with, but over the past month another group of native people have called the Old Pueblo home.
Shane Atkinson is one of ten Aboriginal tribal leaders visiting campus for three weeks of classes about the basics of nation building principles.
It's his first time in the United States. "Just ordering a coffee in the morning is an interesting experience," Atkinson says. "We order a 'caramel' latte and we get back a 'carmel' latte."
Like the native tribes in America, stereotyping sometimes gets in the way of developing an indigenous nation in Australia. "People see them as having alcohol issues, high unemployment rates, poor education, poor healthcare," Atkinson says.
But his blue eyes and fair skin prove that nothing can be assumed.
"I live in a house just like everyone else," says Isabelle Campbell.
Campbell is from South Australia, where she leads two tribes within the Ngarrindjeri Nation. "I just want more understanding of governance and structural organization," Campbell says.
Besides taking classes, the aborigines also visited the Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe to see how they govern their communities. "Things like tribal courts is something I guess we really haven't even considered back home," Atkinson says.
"When native nations and indigenous communities take control of their own government, it's a much more robust infrastructure that has a much better chance of success," says Melissa Tatum, who runs the UA's Indigenous People's Law and Policy Program. "They will have a much better relationship with the government surrounding their community."
The hope is that the Aborigines leave Tucson with the tools to bridge a better relationship between their communities and Australia's government.
The program wraps up today.

VirtualBox 4.1 Introduces Cloning Amongst Other Features
We first covered the release of VirtualBox 4.0 back in January. Amongst other improvements and new features, 4.1 adds VM cloning and a nascent PCI passthrough feature.
The new cloning feature allows the user to easily make a copy of an existing VM including the hard disk image and all associated settings. It's going to be particularly handy for people like me who create a lot of blank VMs with similar specs. This means that I can create a generic Linux 2.6 supporting VM with 1GM of RAM and a virtual HD of 8GB and then simply clone it when I need a new one. The speed of the cloning procedure varies according to the size of the HD file. For example, cloning a fresh VM with an unused dynamically scaling hard disk image takes almost no time, whereas cloning my Windows XP VM with a 4GB partition took a few minutes.
Virtual disk management has received a couple of useful enhancements. It is now possible to directly create and work with VMDK (VMware) and VHD (Microsoft Virtual PC) formats from the GUI. There is also a GUI interface for copying hard disk images. As with the cloning features, the new hard disk management features were already more-or-less possible from the command line and with a bit of extra trouble, but having them built into the GUI will be more convenient for those of us who prefer to work that way.
PCI Passthrough, a new Linux only feature looks intriguing, but according to the docs, it seems to be at early stage with limited hardware support. The feature allows guest operating systems to directly access PCI and PCI Express hardware, even in cases in which the hardware is not supported by the host. This could offer benefits in two main areas: Firstly, it offers the potential to greatly improve the performance of hardware such as network adaptors when accessed from within a VM. Secondly, it would allow Linux to use hardware (albeit via a VM) that either has no, or only limited, Linux driver support. For the moment, only specific combinations of motherboard chipset and add on card are supported. Something tells me that this is a feature worth watching out for in the future. See the appropriate section of the manual for more info.
Note that version 4.1 increases the memory limit to 1TB for 64 bit guests. So, it looks like developers are already thinking about support for KDE5. A new GUI for setting the CPU cap makes it possible to limit the amount of processor time that a VM can gobble.
You can now tame hungry VMs in terms of CPU usage.
Networking is another area in which there have been a few improvements. UDP tunneling is a special mode for efficient networking between VMs running on different physical machines. Note that there was already a special mode to speed up communication between VMs running on the same host. There is also a new generic virtual network adaptor that offers an open plugin standard. How useful this is will depend on what uses developers of other projects dream up for it.
In addition to the new features, 4.1 includes dozens of bug fixes. As one might expect from a point release, 4.1 doesn't present any major changes. However, the additions that have been made to the first update of the 4.x series offer some handy new features at least one glimpse of an intriguing new possibility in the form of the PCI passthrough.

Memory hogs or not, I've been
Memory hogs or not, I've been with Gnome and KDE within the past year and have to say that I can get more work done and faster with KDE than I ever did with Gnome. Back to the article though, I look forward to the clone option from the GUI. I just went through cloning VM's and this looks to make it much easier and quicker to do short of using shell scripts, at least for the desktop/workstation users.
It should be VirtualBox
It should be VirtualBox version 5.0, not 4.1!
Really, was the jab at KDE necessary? You must not have used KDE lately as it uses about the same amount of memory as GNOME...
Just a little joke ;-) I'm
Just a little joke ;-) I'm still a KDE fan/user. The memory requirements of KDE4 at launch were a bit overwhelming, particularly when compared to KDE3. It's running pretty well here (4.6.2) following an upgrade to 4GB. I'd hazard a guess that KDE5 will be a bit of monster. I blogged about the first year of KDE4 back in Jul 2010.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Dream Warrior
Remember those parenting talks your old man used to give you? The typical response was to just glaze over and daydream about the important things—metal, sex, and whether or not he would miss the bottle you swiped from his liquor cabinet. But every once in awhile you get a dose of fatherly sound bytes, and hear nuggets of wisdom like "A little ambition would do you some good" and "If you want something done right, do it yourself." Dads are the same--you heard it, I heard it, and it seems Ywolf's Gabriel Wolf heard it too, and took those lessons to heart. Now, no doubt that self reliance and ambition are noble traits, but the problem with taking on a big task and doing it all, is that if it goes badly (like, Waterworld badly), all eyes are on you.
Unfortunately, that is the case with Dream Warrior, an album consisting entirely of synths and vocals. No guitars, no bass, no drums, nada. Wolf, the sole member of Ywolf, describes the sound as dark gothic/neo classical. What you get are orchestral arrangements of uneven quality, and a black metal croak running underneath them. Ywolf's cause would be helped tremendously by a richer keyboard sound. The segments of music that are more heavily layered sound better and are far more interesting. However, there are many passages that simply sound like the equivalent of a black metal music box. Hardly the epic sound this requires. Consequently, I just can't shake the image of this guy down in the basement all made up in face paint, banging away on a Casio like a black metal Schroeder.
To be fair, a lot of Wolf's concepts are good. Some suffer from lack of adequate execution, and others because a little bit of this music goes a long way. At nearly an hour long, this album is about twice as long as it needs to be. The album opens with one of several ambient interludes, most of which work fairly well. "Silver Symbol of Thunderstorm" is the first full song, and includes some of the best work on the album. Again, it suffers in sections from thin sound and cheesy melodies, but eventually picks up in pace and is layered with enough faux instrumentation to be interesting. Also quite useful are the sampled chanting choral vocals. Wolf, who is also a member of Finnugor, also uses some guest vocals from fellow Hungarian Nagy Andras, of Sear Bliss.
Wolf is an aspiring novelist, and the cd includes text files of two works of fiction. Even done well, this type of music will have a limited audience. And although Wolf manages to do some things well on Dream Warrior, ultimately he has bitten off more than he can chew. A little help would be nice. I wonder what his dad is up to.

Rip it up
New file format launched
New from London-based software developers Neuratron are both the audio editing package Hit'n'Mix, and the .rip file format on which Hit'n'Mix is based.
software developers Neuratron
.rip files differ from WAVs in that rather than store waveform data they consist of a set of sine waves for each of a sound's characteristics – pitch, envelope, timbre and so on. Hence, any stereo audio track can be reverseengineered into its component parts using the Hit'n'Mix software and then edited at will. Individual parts can be pitchshifted, have automation applied to them or even be removed entirely.
At the moment, Hit'n'Mix – which is aimed primarily at DJ types wanting to produce their own mash-ups – is the only software that supports the .rip format. But Neuratron is making SDKs available and is hoping that the .rip format will soon become as widespread as mp3s, WAVs or AIFFs. Contact Neuratron 020 8852 5200 Web www.hitnmix.com

Large-diaphragm condenser mic debuts SENNHEISER GOES LARGE
Launched at the recent NAMM show in Anaheim, California, the MK4 is the first large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone from Sennheiser. The MK4 has been built with pro and semi-pro users in project studios in mind, yet is affordable enough to appeal to hobbyists and still tough enough for on-the-road use.
The microphone comes in a hardwearing, nickel-coloured metal body, inside which lurks a one-inch diaphragm sputtered with 24-carat gold. It's got a maximum SPL of 140dB and low self-noise of 10dB. Suggested uses include vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, strings and wind instruments. Product manager Sebastian Schmitz describes it as "an unpretentious microphone with outstanding sound" and it comes complete with a mic clip and a protective pouch.

UnderDog doesn't have the highest of hopes for 2011. Funny, that...
The BBC has published its Sounds of 2011 list of the top 15 artists or bands it thinks will be big in the coming year. And reading it is pretty dull, to be honest. Partly because there's nothing particularly interesting on offer and partly because at least a couple of them will make it big and by this time next year we'll all be thoroughly sick of them. So we thought it might be better to come up with our own list of stuff that we'd like to see in 2011 – as well as stuff that is crushingly inevitable.
2011 will be the year that dubstep finally leaps into the mainstream, only to be instantly made uncool as it is embraced by a supergroup consisting of ex-members of East 17, Mr Blobby and Kenny Loggins. Their debut single Wobbly Bass Blob will chart at number 217 in the UK but be number one in Norway for some reason. At the same time, even your gran will now know what dubstep is and so it will become utterly irrelevant.
Mumford and Sons will become so big that they're offered a seat on the UN Security Council, a move that will come as a result of their multi-billion-selling album, 120mph Banjo Con. This will fail to kickstart a surge of interest in actual folk music, but people will still try playing Fairport Convention records at 220RPM just to see what it sounds like (like Aphex Twin covering Chas & Dave, in case you were wondering).
People will continue to refer to 'UK hip hop' when they actually mean 'sub-R&B shouty twaddle' and, tragically, a generation of babies will be given names like Tinchy, Chipmunk and That Bird In N-Dubz. Simon Cowell will move to America but the relentless dumbing down of British culture will not stop as a result, since he will leave behind a well-oiled machine to continually churn out bland, sickly pop nothingness and people will still care about whether a one-legged satanist from Burnley gets through to the third round instead of dealing with the myriad problems in their own lives.
All in all, it's going to be much the same as 2010...

"No Give" Love the look of these jeans but you need to buy them in the right size because they do not give across the hips. Unfortunately, when I bought them online, they did not come in my size. I tried a size smaller but they did not fit comfortably. May 28, 2012
The cut of these did not flatter my figure I expected these to be a little oversized, that they were boy fit, but they were way off in their calculations. These were not flattering and were not comfortable, which was too bad because they were a beautiful denim with nice destruction details. January 28, 2012
Loved these jeans! I loved these jeans, but they run really big, so you might want to order a smaller size. November 2, 2011

I've got an old 1.90 quest I'm looking to get access to. It's my creation, and I made it about 10 years ago when I was a kid. Since then I've changed computers, gone off to college, live life, etc; essentially, I don't remember anything about my password. About a week ago I messaged Old-Skool and Dark Nation to see if they can do anything about it.
Of the two, Old-Skool replied the fastest, but he himself doesn't have the power to retrieve the password. However, he mentioned Zcheat, which is a program I've been keeping my eye out for on P2P, but the torrents are always dead. So with Old-Skool's blessing, I can post here to asking for it.
Does anybody happen to have it? If so, can you send me a private message with the details?

Early voting for the 2013 City Council and mayoral elections is now underway. Find your voting location here. Normal voting hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although some days are extended.
On Oct. 29, local residents will be able to give feedback to Cincinnati officials about the city budget — and also nab some free pizza. The open budgeting event is from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 29 at 1115 Bates Ave., Cincinnati.
An audit of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) found former Sheriff Simon Leis crippled technological developments, stacked leadership positions with political cronies and still kept his staff fiercely loyal during his 25 years in charge of HCSO. The Oct. 15 audit claims the agency was "largely frozen in time" and didn't meet the most basic modern standards, including a failure to adopt computer spreadsheets and other modern technologies instead of keeping paper-based records that only one person can access at a time. The audit claims a few possible consequences for Hamilton County: outdated policing policies, exposure to possible litigation and an overworked, under-trained staff. To fix the mistakes, the audit recommends various investments and changes to policies that could prove costly to the county — perhaps too costly to a county government that has been forced to make budget cuts for the past six years. Read more about the audit here.
Developers sold the apartments and 96,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space in the first phase of The Banks for $79.5 million. In a memo, City Manager Milton Dohoney claimed the sale is a sign of the strong market that's being built in Cincinnati. Dohoney noted that the sale will provide nearly $1.2 million for the city and county, which will likely go to other projects in The Banks, and allow Carter and The Dawson Company to repay the city and county's nearly $4.7 million retail fit-up loan three years in advance. The sale should also increase the property's assessed value, which Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes previously put at $52 million, or $27.5 million less than it actually sold for, and subsequently lead to higher property-based tax revenue, according to Dohoney.
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) could force the Lebanon Road Surgery Center, a Cincinnati-area abortion clinic, to close after a health examiner upheld ODH's decision to revoke the clinic's license because it couldn't establish a patient transfer agreement with a nearby hospital. Abortion rights advocates touted the closure as another example of how new regulations in the recently passed state budget will limit access to legal abortions across the state. But ODH handed down its original decision for the Cincinnati-area abortion clinic in November 2012, more than half a year before Gov. John Kasich in June signed the state budget and its anti-abortion restrictions into law. Meanwhile, Ohio Right to Life praised the state for closing down or threatening to close down five abortion clinics this year.
Reminder: Officials project the streetcar will have a much greater economic impact in downtown than Over-the-Rhine, despite what some detractors may claim.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office last night began threatening to arrest homeless people who refuse to leave the Hamilton County Courthouse and Justice Center and find another place to sleep, according to Josh Spring of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. The sheriff's office says the steps are necessary to put an end to public urination and defecation on county property, but homeless advocates say the county should focus on creating jobs and affordable housing to solve the root of the problem. CityBeat covered the issue in greater detail here.
Former Ohio House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson questioned her fellow Republicans' legal threats against Gov. John Kasich's plan to bypass the legislature and get the federally funded Medicaid expansion approved through the Controlling Board, a seven-member legislative panel. Davidson says Kasich is on "firm ground" legally because the state budget contained a provision that allows the state's Medicaid director to expand the program. The Kasich administration on Oct. 11 announced its intention to call on the Controlling Board to take up the expansion, which will use federal Obamacare funds for two years to extend Medicaid eligibility to more low-income Ohioans. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for Ohio and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade.
Ohio Libertarians and Greens threatened to sue the state if the legislature passes a bill that would limit ballot access for minor political parties. The Ohio Senate already approved the legislation, and an Ohio House committee is expected to vote on it at a hearing on Oct. 29.
More charges have been filed against a local spine doctor accused of carrying out unnecessary surgeries in the Cincinnati area and Florence, Ky., and billing health care programs millions of dollars, according to court documents released Thursday.
A race car managed to swap fossil fuels for hydrogen power.
Early voting for the mayoral primary election begins today. The top two winners of this round of voting will go head-to-head in the Nov. 5 election. The candidates: Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a Democrat who supports the streetcar and parking lease; ex-Councilman John Cranley, a Democrat who opposes the streetcar and parking lease; Jim Berns, the Libertarian who attempted to withdraw from the race but changed his mind a day later; and Sandra "Queen" Noble, an eccentric Independent candidate who sent an F-bomb-laden email to debate organizers.
Cincinnati Council's Budget and Finance Committee approved the construction of Over-the-Rhine headquarters
for Cintrifuse, the startup incubator. The company has been working
from a temporary location downtown, but it claims it needs a better space
to continue attracting businesses, particularly those in the tech
field. Cintrifuse will be joined in its new home by CincyTech and the
Brandery. Although all council members voiced support for Cintrifuse,
Councilman Chris Seelbach disputed using Focus 52 funds to build the new
headquarters. The city administration previously told Seelbach that the
Focus 52 money wouldn't be used to further develop Over-the-Rhine,
which has received a disproportionate amount of city funding to spur the
neighborhood's revitalization.
The committee also approved changes for the next phase of The Banks,
which will include retail space and a nine-story apartment building with about 305
apartments. The first phase of The Banks filled
up fast and won a top award
— two big positives the city and county obviously hope to replicate with the next leg of the project.
It's now up to the development team behind
the project and the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners to approve the next phase.
Council members and city officials voiced opposition yesterday to a tea party campaign to change Cincinnati's pension system. Council members acknowledged the current pension system has problems, but they called the campaign, which is currently gathering petitions to get a proposal on the November ballot, misguided and flawed. The proposal would change the city's pension system to use a defined contribution model similar to 401k plans that are common in the private sector. But just like private sector plans, the new system might require paying into Social Security, which would make the plan more expensive for Cincinnati.
Ohio House Republicans are being asked to hold oversight hearings for JobsOhio, the state-funded, privatized development agency that has been mired in controversy in the past few weeks. Most recently, Dayton Daily News discovered that some members of the JobsOhio board are employed by, on the board of or stockholders in companies that are receiving state aid through JobsOhio. Republicans say JobsOhio's privatized and secretive nature allow it to move faster with deals that attract businesses and jobs to the state, but Democrats argue the agency is too unaccountable and might be wasting and misusing taxpayer money.
Billy Slagle, the convicted murderer who apparently hung himself over the weekend, died without knowing of a plea deal that could have prevented his scheduled execution. CityBeat wrote about Slagle's case in further detail here.
The Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is upset that charges have been dropped against an allegedly abusive Amish dog breeder. The group had pushed for charges against Jonas Beachy, the breeder, after 52 dogs were pulled from his central Ohio farm with dental disease, feces-smeared coats and paws mangled by wire mesh cages. Circleville Law Director Gary Kenworthy conditionally dismissed the charges because of problems securing veterinarian records for the dogs.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced in a statement today that the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, the Ohio Department of Public Safety and ODJFS will be working with the Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers to help minors who are victims of human trafficking. The new collaboration is seen as another step to stop human trafficking in Ohio, an issue that has haunted the state in the past.

The Recording Industry Association of America has announced that it is set to sue Russian music firm Mediaservices for $1.6 trillion. Mediaservices also owns AllofMP3.com and allTunes.com and is accused of selling music illegally. Apparently the RIAA want $150,000 for each of the 11 million pirated songs. A spokesperson for AllofMP3.com claimed that the suit is unjustified because the company doesn't operate in New York and obeys Russian Copyright laws – it even pays some of its profit to the Russian equivalent of the RIAA, the Russian Organisation for Multimedia, which the RIAA argues has no right to exist. It has been no secret that the RIAA has been unhappy with Mediaservices, but this is the first real action they've taken. Source: The Inquirer
It is crazy... the only way they could have a decent chance of winning would be to get Mediaservices to an American court - which I doubt they will.
years and years ago making music was written and made by artists not by record labels...but when recording companies started to become monsters they change they music industry...its no longer about making good music, but more about making alot of $$$$... with that said i see a near future where p2p and other such systems of exchange will take back music and force many recording companies out of business....wouldn't it be nice to just have good music that was made for the sake of making it and not for the money........ i compare music and movies to going to an art museum....museums around here you can get in and walk around for free...you don't have to pay to look at anything....could you imagine paying $.99 to see a single painting? Hell no....so why should music be any different......because of the record labels is why....they will be their own undoing....
Despite the bashing of the RIAA, copyright laws will always prevail in a court of law - as they should. The Russian's think they are immune from prosecution for facilitating piracy, but they are wrong. It may take some time but you can be certain that AllOfMP3 will be closed down too, just like every other illegal P2P piracy website. The courts have no choice but to enforce law and it's right to do so. Pirates will be forced to buy goods and services - just like every other citizen in society or go without. The marketplace determines prices. If you think the price of a product is too high then stop buying it. No one needs to steal - it's simply a bad choice they make and one that can land them in jail - as it should.
Even if they take down the websites, there is NOTHING to do against P2P because its just 2 ppl exchanging data over the internet, and no one owns the internet. The only way would be to make it illegel to rip ur CDs and have the files on ur PC.
If they couldnt make a profit off of it, they wouldnt be doing it. No, thats because u get to keep the song, where as u cannot take the painting home. A museum is like a radio station where u can listen to songs just once, and u pay a little extra so that u can choose what songs are played.
I don't pretend to know about international laws and how one country would go about suing another country...So what i say isn't set in stone....however who do they prosecute? how do they prosecute them? and who the hell has $1.trillion to payout anyway...if record labels have lost out on $1.6 trillion to this, then i have really under guessed the amount of P2P and piracy that occurs... I don't think that could happen....trying to stop all P2P would be like telling everyone to stop listening....the way in which P2P works may change to side step legal issues.... i agree that the courts have no choice but to do what they have to do.....and sure no one needs to steal...maybe in a life or death situation to steal could be justified...but we aren't talking about a loaf of bread or some milk for the baby...
I can understand why the rest of the world hates the US they think they a the world police. ppl in the US need to get a fucking life.
Nice find Jimmy, I heard about it in school today, and was going to post it, but... . From what I can tell...A- It's not possible for the lawsuit to actually go through. You can't sue a Russian company from New York, because Russia is not governed by the United States of America. B- $150,000 a song is outrageous and ridiculous, especially for a completely legitimate business in Russia. C- In the unlikely event that this gets into court and is actually accepted, they are asking an unreasonable amount of money. The gross national income of Russia is 1.5 trillion, and they're asking for 1.6. D- Once again, if this went through, a counter suit would be completely reasonable.
I wouldn't be surprised if the case was dismissed outright on jurisdictional grounds, or transferred to a Russian venue where Russian law will prevail. And $1.6 trillion? If any judge actually considered letting a case proceed with such an egregious amount sought for damages, he should have his head examined. Is this like the largest lawsuit in history?
sure they would...music was around well before people started making huge profits from it....music is vital to all society.....music just wouldn't stop because you couldn't make money from it.... i think you're looking a little too deep into what i said....tho i see your point...i'm not sure how to argue such a topic....we all have ripped from a friends CD...back in the day it was cassette tapes....then cd, and now MP and whatnot......we have all either recorded or have a recording of a live concert.... I'm not saying this is all OK, but its clear that huge changes are coming...and i think after time it won't be an illegal thing to worry about...they can't control it really, and more and more people are going to P2P networks to get movies and music.....after time it can only hurt those industries..
With how easy it is to move content, the RIAA is soon going to be forced to try to outlaw music on the internet (fat chance) or to put their head between their legs and kiss their ass goodbye. Private FTP, shared e-mail accounts, hell every messenger out there allows transfers. Talk to someone and get the new CD at the same time. WTF do they think they are going to do about it?
i agree... now the question is what will movies and music be like without the big $$$$ being spent on them....last i heard movie makers say they lose about 8% a year, and growing, to pirating....so we have a ways to go before that time...pretty obvious what would happen to the movie industry...they would have to sell a shit load of Pepsi ads in the movies, if they don't sell ads then the movies will begin to really suck...imagine DooM with guys in rubber suits like in Godzilla..lol....but do you guys think it will be good or bad for music industry???
I would atribute the movie industry losses on the fact that they keep churning out the same crappy movies over and over again and the number of crappy movies has grown leaps and bounds in the past years, while the number of good movies has declined sharply.
Museums are heavily financed mostly by wealthy private individuals. Often times you have to pay to attend artists exhibits. Your comparison make absolutely no sense. The record companies put up all the capital, produce the albums, pay all the people working on the albums, the artists, AND THEY OWN IT. They aren't allowed to defend what they own? Get a clue. These arguments are so stupid, you have absolutely ZERO right to their music. You are paying for a licensed copy of the music, you don't own it. Saying you have a right to steal their music is just ridiculous. These laws weren't created with the invention of distributable music/movies. They were created because people are stealing them. YOU CAUSED IT, YOU DEAL WITH THE REPERCUSSIONS. You can't honestly believe that you have a right to free music and movies. I guess I have a right to free cars and houses right? Who is going to make this magical music for the sake of making music? Are you going to feed these people? Pay for their mortgages, their cars? A Communist country might suit you better.
i made an edit to what i said....they estimate 8% a year to just pirating...im sure they have a lose figured in the crap movies they put out tho... argue what you want....thats apart of TPU, but remember when you read this stuff that its mostly opinions....to get all upset over a simple discussion is a waste...and it makes you look like a dick....

Reading Serre's letter to Gray , I wonder if now modern expositions of the themes in Klein's book exist. Do you know any?
"Geometry of the Quintic" is available for free at my website. Jerry Shurman | |||||||||
I got interested in this subject last year and just got round to writing up some notes which I hope may be of use. I also have a python script which implements the Klein's icosahedral solution of the quintic linked from this page. | |||||
In Glimpses of algebra and geometry by Gabor Toth, chapter 25 is devoted to Klein's main result. | |||
Chapter 5 of McKean and Moll's "Elliptic Curves" explores the circle of ideas around Ikosaeder.I'm not sure if you'd consider this sufficiently "modern" - it's certainly a contemporary book but it doesn't use, say, scheme-theoretic language. | |||||||||||||
I covered Klein's "Lectures on the Icosahedron" in a modern way in my doctoral thesis: Elliptic Curves and Icosahedral Galois Representations, Stanford University (1999) http://www.math.purdue.edu/~egoins/notes/thesis.pdf A much shorter and more direct exposition is my publication in IMRN: Icosahedral $\mathbb Q$-Curve Extensions, Mathematical Research Letters 10, 205–217 (2003) http://intlpress.com/site/pub/files/_fulltext/journals/mrl/2003/0010/0002/MRL-2003-0010-0002-00019947.pdf | |||
There is a (german) new edition of Klein's "Vorlesungen über das Ikosaeder ..." by Peter Slodowy (1993) with a large (about 80 pages) section of comments and remarks about new developments. | |||

Transition in Action
Totnes and District 2030, an Energy Descent Action Plan
By Jacqi Hodgson and Rob Hopkins
Category: BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, POLICY & EDUCATION, GREEN LIVING & SELF-SUFFICIENCY, TRANSITION BOOKS |
This is a lively and colourful community-based guide to reducing local dependence on fossil fuels and reducing the local carbon footprint over the next 20 years, a period during which they anticipate changes associated with declining oil supplies and the impacts of climate change to become more apparent. The Energy Descent Action Plan has been developed by and for the community of Totnes and District, a busy market town and its fifteen encircling parishes, by engaging the community in a creative process of preparing for resilience based on localization with understanding, skills and inner preparation for the anticipated changes and some of the biggest challenges civilisation has ever faced. At the heart of the EDAP are 15 sections covering key sustainability topics from food production to governance; within each are scenarios of business as usual versus willingness to change proposed with a vision of 2030. It offers a new story of the future, based on a scenario of positive visions and proposes practical pathways of ideas, activities and policy changes across a series of themed timelines to 2030.
There's a great awakening going on today, driven by accelerating climate change and by the era of cheap oil coming to an end. Very few communities are as yet properly prepared for such changes, but this Action Plan for Totnes demonstrates exactly what can now be done and how all of us can get involved. - Jonathon Porritt
'By planning for a world in which fossil fuels are no longer cheap and abundant, Totnes has set an example that every town and city in the world should follow. The post-carbon transition can be a creative opportunity for societal renewal, but only if we plan for it. And given the realities of climate change and oil depletion, we are all starting very late in the game. Kudos to this brave community for stepping up to the challenge and producing a thorough, far-sighted document!' - Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute and author of The Party's Over and Peak
'The Energy Descent Action plan is a solid piece of work that tells you how to assess what resources a community has - we're talking skills, ecology, potential for food production, social and creative resources - and clearly sets out ways to utilise them properly. It should give millions of us direction - a critically the confidence - to believe that a sustainable life is within our grasp' - Lucy Siegle, ethical living columnist in the Observer, and author of Green Living in the Urban Jungl
Jacqi Hodgson
Jacqi Hodgson coordinates the Energy Descent Pathways project for Transition Town Totnes that has overseen the production of this EDAP. She is also a local Town Councillor and is very involved in local community activities and projects with a particular interest in planning and land-use. Rob Hopkins is co-founder of the growing Transition Network and author of the best-selling The Transition Handbook. In June 2009 he won the Observer Ethical Award for Grassroots Campaigner.

He has many years' experience in education, teaching permaculture and natural building, and set up the first two-year full-time permaculture course in the world, at Kinsale Further Education College in Ireland, as well as coordinating the first eco-village development in Ireland to be granted planning permission.
He is author of The Transition Handbook: from oil dependence to local resilience and The Transition Companion: making your community more resilient in uncertain times, and co-author of Local Food: how to make it happen in your community (all published by Green Books / Transition Books); also Transition in Action: Totnes and District 2030: an Energy Descent Plan (co-author), Woodlands for West Cork! and Energy Descent Pathways.
The Transition Handbook has been published in seven other languages to date, and was voted the fifth most popular book taken on holiday by MPs during the summer of 2008. Rob publishes www.transitionculture.org, which has been voted 'the fourth best green blog in the UK'. He is the winner of the 2008 Schumacher Award, is an Ashoka Fellow and a Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, served as a Soil Association Trustee for three years, and was named by the Independent as one of the UK's top 100 environmentalists. He is the winner of the 2009 Observer Ethical Award in the Grassroots Campaigner category, and in December 2009 was voted the Energy Saving Trust / Guardian's 'Green Community Hero'. He lectures and writes widely on peak oil and Transition, and has recently completed a PhD on Transition and Resilience at Plymouth University.
Central to The Transition Handbook and The Transition Companion is the concept of 'resilience', which refers to the ability of a community to withstand external shocks and stresses. Rob argues that just cutting carbon emissions is insufficient: we need to rebuild the ability of our communities to provide for their core needs, and doing so will create huge opportunities for local economic regeneration. His books are about hope and optimism, and their untapped potential for engaging people in repairing their communities, their towns and cities, and, ultimately, their planet. The Transition Companion expands on the ideas in the Handbook, combining practical advice on starting and maintaining a Transition initiative with inspiring stories about groups across the world who are putting these ideas into practice.
Rob regularly features as a keynote speaker, and has participated at the following events: Community Land Trust Conference; WWF (talk to the various teams); Sustainable Consumption and Production Conference; Dorset Schools Eco-Summit; Eco-Build Summit; Prince's Foundation Annual Conference at St James's Palace; Skype presentation to the Nova Scotia Planning Directors Association (NSPDA) Conference; Skype presentation for the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) conference.
He lives in Devon with his wife and four children. He has particular passions for cob building and walnut trees, and is staggered by the rate at which the Transition concept has spread.

Prominent Republican politicians weighing in on the debate last night overwhelming agreed on one thing: They hated Joe Biden's smirk. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley thought it was "sneering" and "condescending," while Florida congressman Allen West said the VP came across as a "rude curmudgeon." Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee went further, going on national television to call Biden an "obnoxious drunk."

Residence documents for European nationals
This page explains why a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland may want to apply for confirmation that they have the right to live in the UK.
If you are an EEA or Swiss national, you can apply for a registration certificate. This is a document which confirms your right of residence in the UK under European law.
When you have lived in the UK for a continuous period of 5 years in accordance with the European regulations, you can apply for a document certifying permanent residence. From 1 January 2012 Bulgarian and Romanian nationals can apply for permanent residence using the EEA3 form.
Do you need to apply?
Under European law, you do not need to obtain documentation confirming your right of residence in the UK if you are a national of a country in the EEA.
However, if you want to support an application for a residence card by any of your family members who are not EEA nationals, you must demonstrate that you are residing in the UK in accordance with the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 and are 'exercising Treaty rights' in the UK. You are said to be exercising Treaty rights if you are:
- employed or self-employed; or
- studying; or
- economically self- sufficient (meaning that you have sufficient funds to support you without requiring public funds); or
- a jobseeker; or
- retired; or
- someone who has had to cease working in the UK owing to permanent incapacity.
(If you are a Bulgarian or Romanian national, you may need to be authorised by us before you can work here. See the European workers section for more information.)
When can you apply for a registration certificate?
All EEA nationals and Swiss nationals can apply for a registration certificate at any time.
How to apply
To find out how to apply for a registration certificate or a document certifying permanent residence, see the How to apply for residence documents page.

- If you change your name If you want to change the name on your residency documentation, you must complete and send us a new application form, with a covering letter explaining your circumstances. Before we can issue new documentation to you, you will need to return your current residency documentation to us.
If you no longer want to support or sponsor an application by one of your family members
If you are an EEA national and you no longer want to sponsor an application, please send a letter to:
UKBA - European Applications

- If an EEA national child wishes to remain in the UK with their non-EEA parent/guardian An EEA national child may qualify for a registration certificate on the basis of being self-sufficient following the ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in the case of Chen (ECJ C-200/02). The child must have comprehensive sickness insurance and be self-sufficient. This means that they must not rely on funds earned by the non-EEA national parent(s) or primary carer in the UK, unless this comes from legal employment or self-employment (if the parent(s) or primary carer is in the UK on a work permit).

I second that motion, motion carried.
Tribal Leaders Support Keith Harper With Letter to Congress
Tribal leaders Jeff Grubbe, chairman, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians; Leonard Forsman, chairman, Suquamish Tribe; Rodney A. Butler, chairman, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation; Louis Manuel Jr., chairman, Ak-Chin Indian Community; George Rivera, governor, Pueblo of Pojoaque have written a letter in support of the Administration's nomination of Keith Harper as the United States Representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The letter is as follows:
It is with great pleasure and pride that we recognize Keith Harper, an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, whom President Barack Obama has nominated to be the United States Representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council, with the rank of Ambassador. This is a position that no member of a federally recognized Tribe has ever held and continues to show the respect this administration has for inclusion of Native Americans at the highest levels of public service. While Keith's nomination is historic, it is not necessarily unexpected for the Obama Administration. That is because President Obama has demonstrated in word and deed that he will seek out the most qualified person for a job, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Keith is an attorney who has worked tirelessly on behalf of Tribes and Native people for his entire career and will bring this perspective and experience to his work on behalf of human rights on a global scale. He has served as a judge for several tribal courts taught as an adjunct professor for several law schools and served as an advisor to Tribes and tribal members as an attorney. In that role, he has fought for religious freedom and to protect sacred sites, worked diligently to remedy trust account mismanagement. In addition to his work on Native American legal issues he is experienced in the issues that he will be called upon to represent the interests of the United States and victims of Human Rights abuses around the world. This has included assisting in representing the National Congress of American Indians in its negotiations with the United Nations regarding the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Keith is universally recognized as one of the preeminent lawyers in the U.S. He was elected as a member of the American Law Institute (2012), received the Native American Bar Association of D.C. Award for Significant Contributions to Indian Law and Policy (2012), was selected as a "Lawdragon 500" (top 500 lawyers in the United States) (2010), was named one of 50 "Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America" by the National Law Journal (5/26/08), was named one of fourteen "Rainmakers" nationwide by Diversity & The Bar Magazine (11/2008), was recognized by the Third National People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference for Achievements and Commitment to Justice (2010), was listed in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business (2009-2012), was recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® (2009-2013), and was listed as a Washington D.C. "Super Lawyer" by Super Lawyers magazine (2010, 2012-2013).
The President has taken note of Keith's long, distinguished career and has nominated him based on it for this historic position. Keith's experience will serve him well in representing the U.S. and all of its Tribal Nations at the United Nations. Again, we hope you will join us in helping to shatter the glass ceiling for Natives at the Ambassador level by calling for Keith's immediate confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
Respectfully yours,
Jeff Grubbe, chairman, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
Leonard Forsman, chairman, Suquamish Tribe
Rodney A. Butler, chairman, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation
Louis Manuel Jr., chairman, Ak-Chin Indian Community
George Rivera, governor, Pueblo of Pojoaque

Over the next couple of months I will share my perspective on the successes of the Romney and Republican digital efforts in 2012 and the lessons we learnt along the way. However, in order to have that conversation I think it is important to share some thoughts and key top lines of the campaign so people have context for the period of the campaign post May 1 to November 6th.
Elections are zero-sum games, but digital is not. There can be a tendency for people to determine that when you lose, there were no successes and that all the ideas were bad. It is imperative that we as a party understand that we have an opportunity to continue to grow if we fully capitalize on the achievements and time invested over the last two years.
In the past week the Republican National Committee (RNC) began incorporating the information collected as part of its Joint Fundraising Committee with Romney for President (RFP) into its direct marketing efforts. The campaign provided to the RNC more than 1,000,000+ online donor contacts with email addresses and over 2,200,000 active new emails. The donor file alone represents a digital community that contributed over $100 million in 2012.
This community, built in just over 5 months, represents a 1,000% increase in the donor base that the RNC digital effort produced for all of the 2010 cycle. Had RFP had the ability to incorporate this asset on the day of the Supreme Court Ruling on the Healthcare Mandate the Romney campaign would have been able to raise at least $15 million more on that day alone. Imagine the impact that $15 million in primary dollars in late June could have had on the campaign's ability to respond to the Obama campaign – not to mention the tens of millions more that we would have been able to raise over the subsequent months. This is just one example of how assets generated over the past two years could be harnessed to build infrastructure to last beyond single cycles.
Online Fundraising:
- Due to the planning and execution of the RNC, especially its email marketing and digital team, RFP was able to immediately combine the two digital efforts and process, from non max out donors, over $182M between May 1 – November online with 96% of donations being $250 or less
- Together with the RNC we raised over $65 million online in October – the most successful online fundraising month in the history of Republican politics and $100 million in the last 60 days.
- We came out of the primary with a staff of 14 and were immediately given the resources to grow to over 140 including non political staff from technology companies across America. We achieved this growth in less than 60 days.
- Our core development team (Developers, Project Managers, Quality Assurance, Network Operations, etc) grew to 55+ and they oversaw over 2 dozen major development projects in 6 months – producing over 35,000+ hours of development
- To make up for our limited time frame we worked with the best minds in Silicon Valley to catch up with the Democrats. Read the article: http://tcrn.ch/NQyTVx
- RFP worked with over 50 of the top digital service providers ranging from Lotame to Piryx to Eventbrite to ThisMoment to Optimizely to Google to Keystone and beyond.
Social Media:
- On the social media front we grew our Facebook community by over 10.4 million between May 1 – November (almost double the growth Obama experienced during this period) to reach a total of 12 million+ with an additional 5.1 million for Paul Ryan (more than Obama experienced in the comparable time and almost 10 times larger than Vice President's Biden's page today after 2 general elections).
- On Twitter we created a community of over 1.7 million for Mitt Romney and 540,000 for Paul Ryan.
- From January 1st, 2012 to November 6th, 2012, there were 3,417 posts by Mitt Romney on Facebook. These posts garnered 5,381,043 comments, 69,109,430 likes, and 3,999,954 shares for a total of 78,490,427 engagements.
- Through the final 90+ days we had engagement rates on our Facebook page over 30 – 40% vs an Obama page that averaged 5 – 9 %.
Site Traffic, Store and RSVP Ticketing System
- We built out infrastructure that was able to handle over 38M site visitors in less than 6 months
- We built a customized RSVP / ticketing solution with EventBrite that processed over 1 million RSVP's between July and November and produced almost 500,000 organic unique emails to the RNC for the future.
- We built a comprehensive online store which launched in June and sold over 900,000 items, as well as pop up stores at every major Romney event around the country that leveraged Square technology. At the Convention we did over $700,000 of sales and ultimately sold an item to over 5% of all Convention attendees.
Online advertising:
- On online advertising we delivered over 32 billion impressions over the course of the campaign and generated more than 55 million clicks on various ad units.
- We had over 676 million views of our various online video advertising content which produced an engagement time of over 471 years.
