Everyday Health Buys Lonelygirl15 Producer EQAL in Expansion to New Genres
Everyday Health Takes 'Recipe Rehab' Spinoff to ABC Stations
By: Mallory Russell Published: September 24, 2012
Everyday Health will acquire EQAL, the production company behind some of YouTube's earliest scripted hits -- Lonelygirl15 and Kate Modern -- as it looks to expand into new genres.
EQAL founders Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried and 80 employees will join Everyday Health in the deal. Neither company would discuss the terms, but TechCrunch caught wind of it last week and pegged the price at $15 million plus a $5 million earn-out.
It's the latest production company to change hands as media companies look to bring on expertise in different genres on YouTube, as well as building and managing an audience there.
One of the biggest, Revision3, was acquired by Discovery Communications in May. In June, Alloy Digital acquired Clevver Media, which operates several popular channels. Alloy acquired Generate in January and B5 Media in April.
With Lonelygirl15, EQAL brought a world of scripted programming to YouTube in 2006 and pioneered the kind of social marketing and community-building widely used by producers today. While EQAL never had another hit of that scale, it applied its learnings to new business such as branded content, social media marketing and building communities for celebrities.

Morning must read Cynopsis:Digital sat down with Miles Beckett to talk about the arc of EQAL from the Founders' roots as creators of lonelygirl15 to the Company's hit YouTube channel, u look haute, Jennifer Lopez's "Tour Feed" launch and overall recent growth and the future of celebrities and brands in the digital space.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
What's the interplay between the celebrity, his or her team, and EQAL in developing and publishing content?
We are very transparent in how we identify where the content is coming from. If a post says "Tori Spelling" on ToriSpelling.com, it's from Tori Spelling, if it's from, "Ms. Loo" on TheCloroxLounge.com, then it is coming from the branded community and it's clearly marked that way. If a post says it's by "Team Bethenny" on Bethenny.com, then you know that Bethenny approved it but it's coming from her team. Just like editors might offer suggestions to their writers, we may do that, but like I said, the internet is all about being organic, authentic and truthful and the more involved the celebrity is, the more successful they are. These are their media networks, their websites, their twitter accounts and Facebook pages, and their YouTube channels.
Could you go into the ideation and development process of u look haute? What signaled that this was the type of channel that had the chance to succeed on YouTube?
When we met with YouTube about being a partner in their "originals" program, we realized that there was something special about the beauty vloggers, and having worked with Michelle Phan and Elle & Blair Fowler (more than 350 million combined YouTube video views), we knew there was a real audience there. And there has been. One of the most interesting things that we've noticed has been that when we've run longer episodes, some of the Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp episodes have been more than 20 minutes, the audiences do watch. I just saw a recent comScore report that had the average video at about 6.5 minutes, which is increasing, so this is also an interesting thing to pay attention to. There's something about the one-on-one experience online that works for fashion and beauty online. Although, I'd have to admit, I am not the target audience on that one.
EQAL has seen some significant growth for the company's web properties:
social media reach jumping to 60.1 million followers across multiple social networks; page views rising to almost 19 million a month; unique visitors jumping to almost 5 million a month... What's driving this growth? Is it just that presence of well-known celebrities that brings followers to wherever they may be on the web, or something else as well?
We are always looking at what activates viewers, what they like and what they respond to. They like repetition, so when Lauren Conrad does the "Tuesday 10," fans like to know that they can count on her for that every week. Fans love personal stories, they loved that Tori Spelling announced that she was pregnant again on her website and that she posts photos from her children's birthday parties on the site and takes the reader through how she decorated the backyard and how she made the decorations. Now her husband, Dean McDermott has launched TheGourmetDad.com and he'll be showing all of the things that people love about him on the television shows, on his own website.The celebrities and brands that we work with are active. They are posting and tweeting and communicating with their communities and providing them with information that they can use. This way, a fan can say, "I learned this today or I got a tweet about this today" but instead of it being from Mary, it's from Jennifer Lopez or Bethenny Frankel.
You can read the full Cynopsis:Digital interview HERE.
Members Of EQAL's creative and business teams spoke to IFB, the Independent Fashion Bloggers, about the business behind creating and maintaining Celebrity Influencer Networks. The interview centered around the philosophy of producing an all encompassing digital presence around celebrities and their brands.
EQAL Senior Vice President of Business Development Partner Strategy, Douglas Strasnick, spoke to the topic at hand:
"...we are able to take advantage of the celebrity or brand's projects, interests and events, so the sites have relevance in the day and the hour that the activities are happening. Sometimes this level of attention requires more involvement than others so that we can provide the best level of service and monetization opportunities."

Who Wouldn't Want Some Face Time With Lena Horne?
The National Portrait Gallery wraps up their nod to Jazz Appreciation Month this Thursday at 6:00 in gorgeous fashion, with a Face-To-Face Portrait Talk featuring multi-racial beauty Lena Horne (b. 1917). Curator Ann Shumard will be hosting the third and final event in front of American portraitist Florence Meyer Homolka's 1950 silver gelatin print of the multitalented and multiracial singer, dancer and actress.
Horne got her start in show business at the tender age of 16, joining the chorus line at the famous Cotton Club jazz night club in 1933. After touring and performing with orchestras, she returned to the nightclub circuit, only to catch the eye of Hollywood talent scouts during a gig. Horne signed a seven-year deal with MGM studios in 1942, becoming the highest-paid African-American actor at the time. Stipulated in her contract were conditions that she wouldn't get stereotypical African-American roles. Ironically, MGM wanted the light-complexioned actor to appear darker on screen, and commissioned cosmetician Max Factor to create a custom make-up for that purpose that was called "Light Egyptian. This make-up was later applied to white actresses, which conceivably allowed them to take roles that might otherwise have been played by Horne.
Horne was of mixed ethnic descent, including European, African and Native American ancestry. "I was unique in that I was a kind of black that white people could accept. I was their daydream." said Horne regarding her appearance. "I had the worst kind of acceptance, because it was never for how great I was or what I contributed. It was because of the way I looked."
Horne's first major film debut was in 1942 in MGM's Panama Hattie. She then hit it big on her next go-round in the 1943 film, Stormy Weather (made while she was on loan to 20th Century Fox). She gained further fame for her performance of the film's title track. Horne appeared in a number of musicals during her time at MGM, yet never in a leading role, save for the all-African American musical Cabin in the Sky. Because many theaters refused to show films with African American actors, Horne appeared mainly in stand-alone, nonessential scenes that were easy to edit out, if necessary.
By the 1950s, Horne's career, held in check by racial prejudices was now also stymied by political ones. During the Red Scare, she was blacklisted. But the indomitable Lena Horne conducted a triumphant return to the nightclub circuit, headlining all over Europe and North America. In later years, she eventually became a popular television performer.
At 93, Horne is retired, but she continued her vibrant career into her 70s, picking up three Grammys and capping off her career with a Special Tony Award in 1981 for her performance in the one-woman Broadway show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music.

How cold will it get this morning?
Temperatures and wind chills began plummeting Sunday morning as an arctic assault of frigid temperatures plunges into our area. Daytime temperatures will range from -5° below zero to near zero for the North Country today and between zero and 9° above zero for central New York. Wind chills region-wide will be between -10° and -15° below zero. Unfortunately, as we return to school and work Monday morning, a bitter wake up call is on the way. Wind chill warnings are in effect for parts of the area for tonight through Monday morning.
The coldest air will occur across the North Country and also across sections of the Mohawk Valley and points south into Madison, Chenango and Otsego counties. These areas are likely to be nearly clear much or all of the overnight and into Monday morning. Click on the maps shown on this web story to see extra details. Much of Jefferson, Lewis, northern Oneida and parts of Herkimer counties will have temperatures between -20° to -30° below zero. Those numbers would produce frostbite on exposed skin in about 20 to 30 minutes. The Adirondacks and Saranac Lake could see temperatures between -30° to -40° below zero. Those types of readings create frostbite in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Closer to the immediate central New York area, assuming that lake effect snow showers and clouds clear up for Syracuse later at night and towards early Monday morning, temperatures will have an opportunity to approach -10° to -15° below zero. This will threaten a century-old record of -14° below zero set back in 1907. Temperatures between -10° to -15° have the potential of creating frostbite on exposed skin in about 45 to 60 minutes. Here is a wind chill chart to keep handy.
You should keep an eye on www.CNYcentral.com and to Today in Central New York starting at 4:56am Monday morning to see if your school has a delay or possibly a closing. Different school districts have different policies on how and if they close. So, stay tuned! Monday morning may also be a day that some car batteries refuse to turn over car engines. I would not be surprised if AAA is overwhelmed with calls of dead or struggling batteries! Don't forget to keep your pets inside as often as possible with cold temperatures like this.
Keep in mind that there will also be some localized snow showers, flurries and squalls over sections of central New York through Sunday evening. Wherever snow accumulates, the salt-brine mixture will not be as effected in melting snow because the temperatures are so cold. This will require multiple snow plow passes with salt to help melt any snow. The steadiest snow should occur across Monroe, Wayne and Cayuga counties. Parts of western Oswego, and possibly parts of Onondaga and Cortland counties may get some snow showers Sunday evening. Areas south of the Finger Lakes may also see some localized accumulations, too.
We should remember to be prepared for these frigid conditions by taking precautions. Here is a summary from the National Weather Service in Buffalo on what to do:
Be prepared for frigid conditions:
An arctic airmass will build across the region and bring frigid temperatures and bitterly cold wind chills. Here are some things to remember to keep you and your family safe while dealing with the extreme cold. If you must be outdoors, dress for the cold. Wear loose, lightweight, warm clothing in several layers. Trapped air between the layers acts as an insulator. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and hooded. Always wear a cap or hat. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs from the extreme cold. Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves because fingers maintain more warmth when they touch each other.
Remember, cold temperatures put an extra strain on your heart. Heavy exertion increases the risk of a heart attack. To avoid problems, stay warm, dress warm and slow down when working outdoors. Take frequent rests to avoid over exertion.
People working or playing outdoors can develop frostbite and not even know it. There is no pain associated with the early stages of frostbite, so learn to watch for these danger signs. First, the skin may feel numb and become flushed. Then, it turns white or grayish yellow. Frostbitten skin feels cold to the touch. If frostbite is suspected, move the victim to a warm area. Cover the affected area with something warm and dry. Never rub it. Then get to a doctor or hospital as quickly as possible.
Protecting your water pipes:
When it is cold outside, let hot and cold water trickle from a faucet on an outside wall. Open cabinet doors to allow more heat to get to un-insulated pipes under a sink or appliance near an outer wall. Make sure the heat is on and set to no lower than 55 degrees. If you plan to be away, have someone check your house daily to make sure the heat is still on to prevent freezing.
If your pipes freeze, make sure you and your family knows how to shut off the water in case pipes burst. Stopping the water flow will minimize the damage to your home. Never try to thaw a pipe with an open flame or torch. Always be careful of the potential for electric shock in and around standing water.
Using a generator or alternate heat source:
If you lose power and plan on running a generator, make sure that the generator is location outdoors and is properly ventilated. Space heaters should also be properly ventilated and used only if they are operating properly. Make sure snow does not block exhausts and fresh air intakes for high efficiency furnaces and water heaters. If you use kerosene heaters to supplement your regular heating fuel, or as an emergency source of heat, follow these safety tips. Follow manufacturers instructions. Use only the correct fuel for your unit. Refuel outdoors only and only when the unit is cool. Keep the heater at least three feet away from furniture and other flammable objects.
Fire safety:
Use wood-burning stoves and fireplaces safely. Always keep a screen around an open flame. never use gasoline to start your fireplace. Never burn charcoal indoors. Do not close the damper when ashes are hot. When using alternative heat sources, such as a fireplace, woodstove, etc, always make sure you have proper ventilation. Keep curtains, towels and potholders away from hot surfaces. Have a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors, and make sure they work.
A few simple precautions and you and your family can remain safe while dealing with the extreme cold conditions.

The Crisis of Value in the Network Society - the biggest crisis of them all?
'The word 'crisis' seems a commonplace at present. It is a word whose ceremonial invocation by commentators and holders of public office alike is made with an almost merry abandon that borders on monotony. This should come as little surprise given the numerous crises of the present can appear both rather dull and at times slow in playing themselves out. They are however most certainly there. Indeed no less a publication than the Financial Times recently ran a week of topical comment under the appellation 'Capitalism in Crisis'. The same publication also chose to interview Robin Blackburn and Jason Barker as to whether 'Marx could Save Capitalism?' with such an intervention being undertaken perhaps on the understanding that even Keynes is no longer sufficient for our current predicament.
While the word crisis is most frequently deployed with reference to the eponymous global financial crisis (GFC) that began in 2008, one observes an emergent polyphony of crises that are diverse in cause and global in scope. This polyphony includes the student debt crisis of the United States, the Eurozone public debt crisis, further private debt crises (in the shape primarily of credit card and increasingly payday loan debt) in North America and Europe, the demographic crises of Europe, Japan and Russia, increased global demand and resource scarcity that will eventually lead to 'peak everything' and the high possibility of a second US foreclosure crisis. This is not to mention an abundance of others.
My intention here however is to examine a crisis, which, unlike those listed above seemingly resides beneath the collective attentions of politicians, commentators and most citizens. This crisis is the impact of some of those phenomenon associated with the 'Network Society'; distributed networks, open-source, modular and peer-to-peer modes of production and ever-increasing mechanisation of labour, and the impact(s) of all of this on jobs, wages, growth and profits.
While policy-makers proclaim the 'Digital Economy' will catalyse jobs and growth and offers a bright light amid the darkness, my contention is that the 'digital economy' in its current form and as it is increasingly extended to new spheres of production, will instead exercise a deflationary effect as well as leading to massively increased levels of unemployment and underemployment, stagnant wages and even diminishing rates of profit for capital.
The 'Digital Economy' Will Destroy and Not Create Jobs
The view that new technologies create jobs is fundamentally misguided - indeed they nearly always do the complete opposite.
Marx claimed that as accumulation proceeds increased abundance lowers the rate of profit and heightens competition across lines. As a result capital seeks to economise on labour. This desire for constantly gaining a comparative competitive advantage means minimising the cost of labour as an input and the persistent lowering of wages and engaging in redundancies wherever possible.
As a response classical political economy, and later Schumpeter, claimed that people that lost their job as a consequence of this process move into newly developing industries - this supposedly illustrative of the creative destruction of capitalism itself. In response Marx claimed to have identified through the business cycle a shift from labour intensive to capital intensive industries with a resulting fall in the demand for new labour as technological innovation progresses and new industries develop. To back up such claims Marx pointed to the British census of 1861 showing that the new industries of the 'Second Industrial Revolution' were in employment terms comparatively smaller then the antecedent 'First Industrial Revolution'. Marx gives the examples of 'gas works, telegraphy, photography, steam navigation and railways' for the latter, all of which were highly mechanised and relatively automated processes.
Assessing these industries Marx claimed that they employed no more than 100,000 workers - this comparing to over one million in the industries of the First Industrial Revolution centred around metallurgy and textile manufacture whose workforces were by then rapidly shrinking as a consequence of greater mechanisation. Subsequently the industries of the Second Industrial Revolution had not absorbed anything like as much labour as the First Industrial Revolution had expelled and Marx's expectation of the secular trajectory in the decline in the demand for labour was born out by empirical evidence. Here one sees empirically mapped for the first time how mechanisation destroys jobs
Marx claimed that amid the periodic crises, a crisis of the capital-labour relation would itself emerge with workers and capital being increasingly unable to reinsert themselves into the production process. Marx believed this to be an inherent component of the system born of technological change over time and its continuing tendency to minimise, automate and mechanise what had previously been human labour.
It is frequently stated that this prediction of rising unemployment is contradicted by the observable history of capitalism subsequent to Marx's death. Yet quite apart from the fact that these tendencies are often over-generalised, their evident reversal since the early 1970's has made Marx's notion of the secular crisis appear increasingly compelling. Indeed the last three decades have witnessed a global stagnation in the number of total workers involved in industrial production despite the 'Great Doubling' and a 600% increase in global GDP during the same period.
What Marx did not foresee, and what occurred in the 1890s, was the emergence of new industries that were simultaneously labour and capital absorbent, and which were able to put off the 'secular' decline for more than half a century, ultimately until the late 1960's. The growth of these new industries, principally cars and consumer durables, depended on the major economic development of the 20th century, the increased role of the state; in monetary policy, in providing infrastructure such as roads and electricity networks and eventually by heavily mediating both supply and demand. It was all of his this this which facilitated a golden age of capitalism within which Marx's prognostications appeared incorrect.
Yet, as the unprecedented state deficit-spending which supported this process indicates (a process which hitherto had only happened in wartime) there is no inherent tendency within capital that allows for the continual generation of product innovations to balance out its labour-saving process innovations.
When the car and consumer durables industries began to throw off capital and labour in the 1960s and 70s, the next wave of innovation in microelectronics, IT and eventually the 'digital economy' were and remain unable to absorb the new surplus of labour, even decades later. This was a repeat of what Marx saw in the 1860s. Unemployment in 1960's Britain averaged 1.6% from 1950-69 whereas between 1920-38 it had averaged 13.4%. A return to the first figure is impossible within the present paradigm, a return to the second appears inevitable (indeed by some measures it has already surpassed it).
Over the last 40 years average GDP has grown more and more slowly on a cycle-by-cycle basis in both North America and Europe, with only one exception in the US in the late 1990s. Meanwhile real wages have stagnated, and workers have increasingly relied on credit to maintain standards of living. As a consequence household debt in most of the OECD countries has ballooned during the period with this being most insidious in post-industrial economies such as the US, UK, Ireland and Spain.
It is frequently stated that this deindustrialisation of high-GDP countries such as the UK and the US can be blamed on the industrialisation of the low-GDP countries. This is not the case however. After 1973 export markets for manufactures becoming saturated and it was increasingly the case that a few countries were capable of providing manufactured goods for the entire global market. The resulting crisis of the capital-labour relation, signalled a fall in the rate of profit and led increased unemployment and precarity world-wide, from Harlem to Colombo to Hackney. As the capital-labour accord snapped wages simaltaneously stagnated. While capital in all countries became even more dependent on international trade, from now on, capitals in some countries could only expand at the expense of others as global trade had become a zero-sum game. Though they had not yet caught up to the high-GDP countries, the developing world took part in this same process deindustrialisation under the guise of SAPs.
A common objection to this is to point to China as an obvious exception to this picture of global stagnation. In recent decades China has become a global industrial powerhouse, but it did so not through opening new markets or innovating new productive techniques but rather by massively building out its manufacturing capacity at the expense of other countries. Global trade is now almost a zero-sum game.
Importantly however, while one assumes that this expansion must have brought about a historic increase in the size of Chinese industrial employment, this is observably not the case. Indeed China did not create any new jobs in manufacturing between 1993 and 2006, with the total number of workers hovering constantly at around 110 million. The degeneration of the old North-East being co-terminous with the rapid industrialization of the South.
The overwhelming trend, the mechanisation of labour, means that even the high value companies of the 'Digital Economy' employ very few people. One example is Instagram which when bought by Facebook last week for around $1 billion was found to retain a full-time staff of 13 people. Furthermore this mechanisation and move away from labour intensity means that even higher-value actors at the forefront of the Digital Economy such as Yahoo will make large-scale redundancies even when running profits.
To conclude, being a 'hi-tech' or 'digital' economy, as alluring as that may sound, is no panacea. These are after all industries with very low levels of labour-intensity, this essentially is what defines them after all. The idea that they could lead to increased employment, even when successful in generating profits for shareholders, is absurd.
The Network Society is Deflationary
While new technologies and innovations create new utility value, that doesn't always mean they generate increased profits. Indeed many technological changes and their integration into the economy can in fact have a deflationary effect. If one looks at the period 1870-1890 'The Great Deflation' was correlative with the rise of the Second Industrial Revolution of which Marx observed and wrote. To a great extent the latter catalysed the former with inexpensive Bessemer and open hearth steel, the railroad boom, efficient steam shipping and animal powered agricultural mechanization permitting dramatic increases in productivity and leading to continuous deflation in the wider economy. It is quite possible that we are at the beginning of a similar period at present although deflationary pressures may well be offset by rising energy, food and commodity prices given the scale of the coming resource crisis, time will tell.
Even now, at the very genesis of the paradigm it is estimated that open source annually destroys $60 billion in net revenues for the proprietary software sector. The impact of information abundance means that those goods and services previously based upon information scarcity and its high costs of reproduction such as journalism, films and music are severely challenged in finding viable methods of generating revenues. Vertically integrated firms, retail stores, administrative organisations and even universities are in part adaptations to a communications ecology in which information is costly and assymetric and such conditions are no longer the case.
While many are concerned about how such industries can survive it is clear that the 'Napster moment' is in fact for the vast majority of industries only just beginning to arrive. As with software we may see open-source allied with modular forms of production destroying proprietary value rather than replacing it in other parts of the economy and it is clear that the same trends are being extended into offline production and manufacturing.
Modular, easily replicable, open Source and peer-to-peer manufacture based around the morphology of the distributed network and solid freeform fabrication may destroy the existing manufacturing paradigm permitting the production of goods to be done at a local basis and undertaken with regards to the needs of a specific community. This kind of production is already evident with the Open Source Ecology project and could be extended to many other areas from car manufacture to furniture and clothing with non-automated human labour instead focusing on highly intricate detail.
If the impact of Wikipedia, Linux and the online P2P economy has had a net deflationary effect (thats before we even touch upon piracy which in all honesty can not be 'beaten'), then just like the 'Great Deflation' at the end of the 19th century, we should understand that the deflation evident in these sectors is only the beginning once the same norms of distributed production are extended to offline goods and services. The ruins of the software and music industries are merely the leading edge of a hurricane .
The Network Society Destroys Profits
Much economic growth during the post-war period within the OECD, 'golden age', was generated on the supply-side of the economy by technological catch-up. This meant that the countries of the 'West' were able to bring into production a large backlog of unexploited technology the principal part of this backlog consisting in methods of production and of commercial and industrial organisation already in use in the United States.This was most evidently the case for Italy, France and Japan in the 'golden age' and has also been the case for much of the developing world, particularly the BRICS (except Russia) in more recent years.
The opportunities for technological catch-up gave capital a high marginal productivity, leading to high levels of private-investment demand in the period. This was most notable in countries such as Italy and Japan - two of the countries with the world's highest recorded economic growth between 1950-73. Recently, however, it seems that private investment in fixed capital assets is increasingly undermining profits instead of catalysing them. The major reason for this was what Marx called 'moral depreciation'. As he wrote,
"…in addition to the material wear and tear, a machine also undergoes what we might call a moral depreciation. It loses exchange-value, either because machines of the same sort are being produced more cheaply than it was or because better machines are entering into competition with it."
Between 1990 and 2009 the costs of moral depreciation averaged 27% of after-tax profits in the US, up from less than 5% in 1961 and 10% in the mid-1970's. This means that increasingly large shares of surplus value have not been realised as profit because of losses stemming from moral depreciation in the last three decades. This appears to be an increasing trend that does not seem to be stopping anytime soon.
While many see IT-based consumer products as a catalyst for growth (as well as jobs) that permits yet another phase of expansion it seems that the IT 'revolution', powered as it is by Moore's Law in increases in processing power, Gilder's Law in bandwidth and Metcalfe's Law in the value of network increases, brings heralds a massively increased velocity i the pace of obsolescence that increasingly contributes to the destruction of value and subsequently rates of profits. This is confirmed in a paper published in 2003 by Tevlin and Whelan which empirically observed that such change is constantly depreciating the value of existing fixed assets through the speed of technical innovation.
Conclusion: Life After Work
'Get a job' is the insult most self-gratifyingly deployed by many who castigate protestors, regardless of whether the recipients of such an 'insult' are in employment or not. This is imitated in large part by a politics of 'job creation' that is accepted by all the major parties. Be it the expansionary fiscal austerity of the government or the Keynesian critique of those such as Paul Krugman, both implore that it is their own logic which will prove best at 'creating jobs'. As this essay hopes to have have illuminated in small part, such a politics is completely at odds with the changes we have observed in the global economy during the course of the last several decades and that continues apace. These are;
i) The continually increasing mechanisation of labour and the impact that this has on increases in unemployment, labour precarity, declining wages, growth and profits. This leads to an increasingly large part of the population and indeed surplus capital (FTSE 100 companies are currently sitting on around £650 billion of equity) incapable of re-inserting themselves back within the production process. This has been described elsewhere as the crisis of the capital-labour relation.
ii) With the rise of peer-production and distributed networks both offline and online, we see a new kind of non-state, non-market production that represents an increasingly larger sphere of all production. This may exercise a deflationary effect as the costs of many goods and services are brought down through certain form of disintermediated exchange. This could well lead to a massive increase in utility value but not correlatively in exchange value. Subsequently we may see a deflationary period in manufacturing and production akin to that seen between 1870-1890 and the first 'Great Deflation'.
iii) The major technological trends of the Network Society inspired as they are by the '3 Laws' as listed above seem to increase the rate of moral depreciation of fixed capital. Subsequently increasing amounts of surplus value are lost in 'upgrading' fixed capital to remain competitive rather than being translated into profit.
Amid all this full-employment utopias look rather limited to say the least. They are impossible within the present system and not needed were such a system be altered to meet existing social needs.

If the sun disappeared not only would we not know about it for eight minutes, but we'd still keep happily orbiting that non-existant sun too! The planets would stop orbiting from the inside out one-by-one as the change in gravity reached them; that seems like a neat thing to imagine seeing.
If gravity DID travel instantly, then we could send messages across arbitrary distances in a moment, and we'd call each other on gravaphones and they'd probably be heavy or something, I don't know!

Jesse Dayton
Jesse Dayton
Raised in Beaumont, TX, near the childhood home of George Jones, Jesse Dayton grew up on the hardcore honky tonk of Jones, Hank Williams, Sr., and Lefty Frizzell, but also blues artists such as Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. During the late '80s and early '90s Dayton fronted two rockabilly bands, the Roadkings and the Alamo Jets, playing around the state in honky tonks and dives. After beginning a solo career, he played support slots at shows by Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, and even appeared as the bandleader in a Pam Tillis video. Signed to Justice Records in 1995, he released Raisin' Cain that same year and also appeared on the Willie Nelson tribute record, Twisted Willie. Dayton's songs also appeared in the FOX-TV series Melrose Place and in the film Curse of the Starving Class. In fall 2000, Dayton issued Tall Texas Tales. Hey Nashvegas followed in 2001, and Country Soul Brother in 2004. That same year Dayton received an interesting phone call while en route to a gig. It was Rob Zombie calling, and he wanted to know if Jesse would write some songs for a movie he was working on. The result was Rob Zombie Presents�Banjo & Sullivan: The Ultimate Collection 1972-1978, released in June 2005 to coincide with Devil's Rejects, Zombie's sequel to his 2003 cinematic debut House of a 1000 Corpses. In the film's elaborate, imaginative backstory, Roy Sullivan and Adam "Fingers" Banjo were honky-tonk musicians who met their gory end at the hands of the homicidal gang known as the Devil's Rejects. Zombie commissioned Dayton to write and perform a series of songs as Banjo & Sullivan, and the result were tongue-in-cheek, but well-done honky-tonk numbers like "Dick Soup", "Lord Don't Let Me Die in a Cheap Motel," and "I'm at Home Getting Hammered [While She's Out Getting Nailed]." The album even included a cover of "Freebird". ~ John Bush, Rovi

Frankel in a league of his own
3:50pm Wednesday 22nd August 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2013
Frankel stretched his perfect record to 13 when treating his legion of supporters to another breathtaking performance in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York.
The world's best racehorse took the step up from a mile to 10 and a half furlongs in his stride as he justified highly-restrictive odds of 1-10 without being asked a serious question.
Leading two furlongs out in the hands of Tom Queally, the Sir Henry Cecil-trained colt pulled away to score with consummate ease to lift this Group One prize, sponsored by his owner Khalid Abdullah. Farhh pipped St Nicholas Abbey for second, seven lengths behind the brilliant winner.
Queally said: "I suspected they'd go a good gallop, but we had our plan in place. It panned out nicely - it's a fantastic training performance. I gave them enough of a lead for the pace we were going and he won ever so well. He's certainly as good (over a mile and a quarter as a mile).
"Every man and his dog seemed to want to put their penny's worth in to say where he should run, but to run him in the owner's race and for him to make it 13 out of 13 speaks for itself. I'm delighted to be a part of it."
Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for Prince Abdullah, said: "For Henry and the team to bring Frankel in such great shape to York, in front of a brilliant crowd who appreciated him, is absolutely fantastic. Then for the horse to perform like he did, it's a dream, isn't it?
"The way he just comes there and does it is simply wonderful. It's hard to believe and I've never seen anything like it."
Although it had been widely considered his final start would be on Champions Day at Ascot on October 20, connections have not entirely shut the door on a mouthwatering trip to Longchamp for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Grimthorpe said: "Henry didn't want him in the race and he'd have to supplemented. There will be a discussion and we'll have to see. The plan was always Ascot (Champion Stakes or QEII) but we'll have to see how he comes out of the race."
Of a possible tilt at the Arc, Prince Abdullah added: "I will discuss things with Henry and it depends on what he wants to do. I didn't think a mile and a quarter was a problem, but further than that, I'm not sure."

View of the Port Arthur Historic Site from Scorpion Rock(Credit: PAHSMA, photograph by Joe Shemesh, 2007)
Such was the vision for the Port Arthur penal settlement - a bold experiment and groundbreaking attempt at reform and rehabilitation for the convicts of the colony of Van Diemans Land.
Port Arthur was a key part of the colonial system of convict discipline. Remote, harsh, with no chance of escape, this was the perfect destination for hardened, repeat offenders. But Port Arthur was much more than a prison. As you walk within the Site, the powerful, personal stories of convicts, soldiers, free settlers and their families will reveal themselves to you. Port Arthur's tale is told in many ways. It will stay with you long after you have departed. Port Arthur is a place that every Australian, and all international visitors with a wish to understand more of Australia and Australians, should visit. These pages offer details about what you can see and do when you do make the journey, so that your experience will be memorable, meaningful and enjoyable.

Seems to me Warren should be under indictment for a felony of representing clients when she was not legally to do so.Krauthamer has already been pushing Jeb for 2016 along with Rubio. No to Rick Perry. He's not capable. Virtually has NO power in Texas. The Legislature has the power and all he does is to sign/veto bills, but usually goes with the legislature.

Warren, if the Dems candidate in 2016, will win. First Indian President of The United States.Palin won't run.Perry can't talk, when on the national stage.Christy is a Dem who cries in appreciation when talking to union supporting multimillionaire pop artists, so won't appeal to Republicans.Bush is a liberal Dem in Republican clothing.Petraeus works for Obama.

I'm all for keeping Perry in Texas, since he is my governor, but not for the conventional wisdom that wrongly posits that he has no power, thus no executive experience. That talking point is as tiresome as it is wrong. A slightly weaker constitutional authority in the context of a large, populous, powerful state trumps a strongman type from a weak state.

The Republican Party, and the USA, both died on 11-6-2012.

Perry was having back problems and pain medication during the primaries. He shouldn't have run with that set as it didn't serve him well. He is far more of a straight-talker than he appeared to be during the spring debates. Click Here if you Like this Comment
#22, then Perry had no business being in the primary. He increased the ridicule level and diverted time and money. A real lapse of judgment on his part. If he's actually a stronger governor than others have indicated on L.dot, then I retract my prior statement. But as a 2016 candidate, no. Maybe on the Leadership Council which should be outside the main party.But then again my home state had Christie the Fat RINO for a governor, so I should talk. I'd take Perry.

Romney was a good candidate and this was a very good election effort. Various poling companies loudly proclaimed the democrat turnout would be different this season but the after the election results the TV land reality counts seemed wrong. The real problem was not the voters, counters or who was watching the counters. A firm owned by George Soros and operated in Spain took care of massaging the numbers. They did not have to follow the pundit's theories because the rascals made up an alternate pro-Obama reality.The counters inserted facetious gross number and manipulated the results. (GIGO –Garbage in, Garbage out) No wonder the Dems weren't worried. The results were preordained.The company is called SCYTL. Look it up on Google. It is owned by George Soros and does many number counting jobs for the USA and the separate states.Of course some people will deny fraud (with the flimsiest of excuses) but they denied the 1919 World Series, Fast and Furious and are currently trying to tell us that what we all know about Benghazi is the haze of war. "Walk on by folks, nothing to see here"There was a haze of war with the elections and unless we adamantly protest it now, today, this election cycle, there will be no prospect for fair future elections. The count and recounts will always be phony but look perfect. (Just like Russia and Venezuela).SCYTL, member the name.The problem is. Who will investigate? Not the in the tank investigative reporters, the broadcast media, the NYT, the Department of Justice or the Attorney general?We have lost our voting voice and power; we are now subjects of the regimen.Read Voter Fraud: fact of fictionhttp://www.humanevents.com/2012/05/09/scytl-voter-fraud-facts-and-fiction/ Click Here if you Like this Comment

#33, I'm all in. Neocommunists have been working on and refining how to control Presidential elections since 1960. Their job is done. We will never see an honest election in our lifetime. Who is going to reform it? Bush had 8 years and the huge setup of the Gore experience. Didn't count many military votes then and ever since. Now they are so proficient with the manipulation that they can depress or disappear millions of votes and every commentator goes to explanations of the low turnout that suggest no evangelicals, etc.Meek, career politicians don't engage congress in a righteous fury about denying active military the vote and they even dare to do it themselves as a representative did when she voted TWICE. Combine that with unrestricted immigration that is so far gone that ILLEGAL aliens present cases to US courts. Thank you churches who 'sponsor' these criminals, thank you corrupt employers, and sanctuary mayors and democrat run cities. We lost America bit by bit since the networks elected JFK.

Not only a TERRIBLE line up...but even my Dem list that I posted on the other thread looks more appealing!!!But seriously, I do NOT want a bunch of the same old professional politicians who are all Washington insiders. They do NOT represent the people or our interests. I don't care if they are moderate, conservative or have an IQ at the level of Einstein or Honey BooBoo. I do NOT want any more insiders who are just in it for wealth and power and who have been playing corrupt games for years. I want a CLEAN person (I am not even concerned about how far right their ideology is anymore) who is HONEST, wants to get rid of corruption and believes in representing the interests of the people--not himself! But that is why Romney was defeated (with the help of both parties)...he wasn't an insider. He is not easily corruptable. He has integrity. He doesn't need more money or power.I feel sick...

David Petraeus?Puhleeeese! That man is like John McCain. Had a great militray service but has become a sellout to his party.

The moment Patraeus even thinks about throwing his hat in the political ring, he will get hit square in the face with "Bhengazi". What goes around, comes around. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Anderson Hays Cooper (born June 3, 1967) is an American journalist, author, and television personality. As of 2011 he is the primary anchor of the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360°. The program is normally broadcast live from a New York City studio; however, Cooper often broadcasts live on location for breaking news stories.
Anderson Hays Cooper was born on June 3, 1967, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, and is a great-great-great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune. Cooper's media experience began early. As a baby, he was photographed by Diane Arbus for Harper's Bazaar. At the age of 3 Cooper was a guest on The Tonight Show on September 17, 1970, appearing with his mother. At the age of 9, he appeared on To Tell the Truth as an impostor. From age 10 to 13 Cooper modeled with Ford Models for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Macy's.
Cooper's father suffered a series of heart attacks while undergoing open-heart surgery, and died January 5, 1978, at the age of 50. Cooper considers his father's book Families to be "sort of a guide on...how he would have wanted me to live my life and the choices he would have wanted me to make. And so I feel very connected to him."
