A.I. Can Pretend to Love Us, but is that Dangerous for Children? With Sherry Turkle
Published on May 26, 2016
Creators of artificial intelligence measure how well machines can imitate human qualities like empathy, listening, affirmation, and love. Don't reciprocate, says Sherry Turkle. Turkle's latest book is "Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age".
Transcript - I have very strong feelings about a future in which robots become the kind of conversational agent that pretend to have emotional lives. Shortly after I finished we can make reclaiming conversation I was interviewed for an article in the New York Times about Hello Barbie. So Hello Barbie comes out of the box and says, now I'm just paraphrasing, the jest hi I'm Hello Barbie. I have a sister. You have a sister. I kind of hate my sister. I'm jealous of your sister. Do you hate your sister? Let's talk about how we feel about our sisters. In other words it just kind of knows stuff about you and is ready to talk about the arc of a human life and sibling rivalry as though it had a life, a mother, the feelings of jealousy about a sister and was ready to relate to you on that basis. And it doesn't. It's teaching pretend empathy. It's asking you to relate to an object that has pretend empathy.
And this is really not a, in my view, this is really a not good direction for AI to go. There are so many wonderful things for robots to do, so many wonderful things for robots to do. Having pretend empathy, having pretend conversations about caring and love and things that a robot can feel about their body's and about their lives and about their mothers and about their sisters gets children and gets elders, which are the other target group for these robots into a kind of fantasy miasma that is not good for anybody. Children don't need to learn pretend empathy, they need to learn real empathy, which they get from having real conversations with real people who do have sisters, who do have mothers. And I think this is a very dangerous and indeed very toxic direction.
We worry so much about whether we can get people to talk to robots, you know, can you get a child to talk to this Hello Barbie? Can you get an elderly person to talk to a sociable robot? What about who's listening? There's nobody listening. These robots don't know how to listen and understand what you're saying. They know how to respond. They're programmed to make something of what you say and respond but they don't know what it means if you say my sister makes me feel depressed because she's more beautiful than I am and I feel that my mother loves her more. That robot really does not do anything useful to you with that information. That's not empathy. And children need to know that they're being heard by a human being that can do this empathy game with them, this empathy dance with them so in the middle of a time when we're having this crisis in empathy to imagine that now we're going to throw in some robots that will do some pretend empathy, I have to say that in all the optimism of my book this is the pessimistic part and I really end the book with a kind of call to arms. I call it what do we forget when we talk to machines? And I mean it to be literally a call to arms that this is not a good direction. We don't need to take this direction, we just need to not buy these products. This doesn't take a social revolution, this just takes consumers saying that they're not going to buy these products. They're not bringing them to their homes.

Islands – key actors: What kind of partnership at the EU level?
Meeting jointly hosted by the European Parliament intergroup on Biodiversity and Climate change and prepared by the IUCN on EU Overseas Programme, the Marine and Polar Programme (GMPP) in close collaboration with the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA)
Tuesday, 07th of May 2013, 16:00
European Parliament, Brussels, Room A1H1
Since its launch in 2005, the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) managed to involve policymakers throughout the world, including more than 60 governments of Small Island DevelopingStates (SIDS), big island countries, countries with island territories, overseas territories,multilateral and bilateral organisations and international, national and regional organisations.This cooperation promoted high-level commitments and field projects for the conservation andsustainable use of islands' natural resources. In 2008, the Conference of the Parties of theConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD) recognised GLISPA as one of the mechanisms of theworking program on island biological diversity. The CBD also welcomed the establishment of acoordination tool for GLISPA under the auspices of IUCN. GLISPA has since then contributed tocatalyse more than $130 million for the financing of island conservation.
In the perspective of the United Nations year on Small Islands in 2014, a debate is organised with the president of the GLISPA Steering Committee, Ambassador Ronny Jumeau, in order toanalyse in detail the situation and role of islands within European and international policies. TheEuropean Union and its Member States have more than 200 islands and 33 political entitiessituated in all oceans. These islands are essential key partners for biodiversity conservationpolicies and the sustainable management of natural resources, also providing an instructiveperspective of European and international programs.
This meeting will be co-chaired by: MEP Maurice Ponga, co-chair of the working group «Islands and Overseas Entities» of the European Parliament Intergroup «Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development», and the Ambassador Ronny Jumeau, President of the GLISPA steering committee.

The eagle file is 4-layer pcb. The actual board is 2-layer.
QuoteThe eagle file is 4-layer pcb. The actual board is 2-layer.What! I know there's been some argy bargy about the posted files not being the actual files, but to go from 4 layers to 2 layers doesn't seem practical. That would be a total re-lay of the board to arrive at an inferior product._____Rob
All the vias seem go through.
QuoteAll the vias seem go through.I could still be 4 layer, many fab houses don't allow blind or buried vias or charge more for them so many (most?) people just use through vias.We have discussed the movement of that chip and other inconsistencies between the released CAD files and the real thing before. It has never been resolved AFAIK._____Rob
Even though Arduino published different eagle file in purpose, i could understand. There are so many copies of Arduino board which infringe Arduino trademark. It is too easy for those factories to make the copies. If Arduino publishes different CAD files, the copy boards become different. For arduino, that is a good way to protect themselves.
I mean, 2-layer could also work.
For arduino, that is a good way to protect themselves.
I have the [sarcasm]paid version of eagle[/sarcasm] and I can see all 4 layers, Top, Route 2, Route 15, Bottom. The 2 inner layers are GND and power plain respectively.
In this case it takes us a few days (or weeks when the factory forgets to tell us they made changes) to update the files distributed online.

Rohan Ramnath and the Crimson completed its fall season at Princeton Sunday (Harvard Athletic Communications).
By Daniel Joseph, Assistant Coach
In spite of an ominous drive to New Jersey in torrential rain, the Crimson arrived on Friday with high hopes after a two-week layoff from competition. After nearly two inches of rain on Friday, the practice round was not an ideal indicator of the course conditions for the weekend. The Crimson entered the event without Seiji Liu '14 (Beverly Hills, CA) who led the Crimson with a 5th place finish at Yale two weeks prior. Liu was sidelined with a wrist injury that should be healed in time for the spring season.
On Saturday, the team woke to blue sky and sun with moderate temperatures for the first match of the tournament; perfect weather for scoring. The Crimson competed against the Brown Bears in the first round. Youth proved strong early for the Crimson. Freshmen Un Cho (Ancaster, Ont.) and Rohan Ramnath (Weston, Fla.) came out of the gates with solid performances earning 5&4 and 4&3 victories, respectively. A back injury had kept Ramnath out of the lineup and this was his first tournament wearing Harvard Crimson. He showed a preview of what the Crimson hope to see in the spring.
Michael Lai '14 (Redlands, Calif.) and Akash Michandani '15 (Prospect, Ky.) played well, but ran into stronger performances by Justin Miller and Peter Callas of Brown. With the match tied at 2-2, both teams looked to the final match between Brown's Nelson Hargrove and Harvard's Theo Lederhausen '14 (Hinsdale, Ill.). Lederhausen dominated the front nine, but Hargrove came on strong on the back side going "two up" with three to play. Lederhausen won the 16th and 17th holes to pull the match to all square. A wayward drive on the 18th left the door open, and Hargrove shut the door with two beautiful shots and a conceded birdie. It was a difficult loss for the Crimson, but they gained wonderful experienced by putting themselves in a high pressure situation.
Kevin McCarthy '14 (Lynn, Mass.) was competing for a Composite team to round out the 8-team bracket, as Columbia was not participating in the event. McCarthy played beautifully in a tight match with Yale's Will Davenport and finished all square.
With Round 1 in the books, the Crimson got right back on the course to face off against the Big Red of Cornell in their afternoon match. The second match proved to be as challenging as the first. Both teams scored well and put many birdies on the board. Lai played well early in his match. Solid play and few key birdies on the back nine by Cornell's Brandon Eng proved to be the difference in a 4&3 defeat. The other four matches were tightly contested and ended up being called for darkness to be resumed early Sunday morning with Cornell leading 1-0.
The matches resumed at 7:30am and the teams found the course firmed up and green speeds much quicker than the previous two days. Ramnath only needed one hole to close out his opponent for a 2&1 victory. Mirchandani battled Craig Esposito for two more holes in the morning session. A tough break on the par-3 17th led to a ball bouncing off a cart path into a hazard to end the match in Cornell's favor -- 2&1. Lederhausen started the morning session one up with three to play and halved the first two holes, but Cornell's Carl Schimenti forced extra holes with a solid par on the final hole. Lederhausen remained calm and showed great perseverance as this was the second match in row to "go the distance". He stuck a six iron to six feet on the second playoff hole and made birdie to win his match and even the score of the team match at 2-2. ! The match of the tournament involved Cho and Cornell's Zack Bosse. Cho resumed the match Sunday morning on the final hole down 1, and made an incredible 30-foot, downhill slider to send the match into extra holes. Cho continued to play well, making clutch shot after clutch shot taking the match to the 24th hole. Cornell's Bosse played a beautiful shot over the trees on the par-4 14th to about 6 feet, and Cho was unable to get up and down from the right greenside rough. Cornell took the match 3-2. Cho and Lederhausen showed great poise and set the tone for Match 3.
Match 3 set the Crimson up against the Composite Team of Penn, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Brown. It would have been easy for the Crimson to show disappointment and lack of enthusiasm after two tough losses. Instead, they showed great character and energy in the final Match. Lai played his best golf of the weekend and made an all-world up-and-down to end his match early (5&4) over Brown's Jack Mylott. Cho used the momentum from the wonderful match he played in the morning, adding in multiple birdies to defeat Penn's Patrick O'Leary 6&5. Lederhausen also played his best golf of the weekend to defeat Yale's Thomas Greenhalgh 6&5. Mirchandani ran into a buzz saw in Matt Gerber from Princeton who made seven birdies, five on the front nine alone. Mirchandani stayed patient to make four birdies of his own and force the match to the 18th hole, but he ultimately fell short to lose one down. The most interesting match of the day came with Ramnath playing a ! familiar opponent: teammate Kevin McCarthy. This match was high-spirited and entertaining with both players making many birdies. It was clear that they brought out the best in each other. In the end, Ramnath was able to hold off McCarthy for a 2&1 victory. The Crimson took the match 4-1.
For the weekend, two Harvard golfers were undefeated: Ramnath was 3-0 while Lederhausen was 1-0-2. In spite of the 24-hole loss, Cho was able to earn two victories.
The Ivy League Match Play provided valuable experience in pressure situations. The two weeks of preparation paid off with some of the best golf all fall on display, which is especially impressive considering that the team is in the middle of a strenuous time in the classroom. The Crimson left Jasna Polana having learned many lessons both individually and as a team, and also having gained invaluable experience that will prove helpful when they return to action in the spring. Until then, team members will be taking care of the increasing course workload, hitting the gym, and tightening up technique before the spring campaign begins.

Opening of 2020 Season
January Drill and Meeting at the Grange
Sayville, NY
See our Schedule Page for full list of events
…and Welcome to our cyber-camp
We are Company K, 67th NY Historical Association based in Sayville, Long Island, New York and we are Living Historians, bringing the Civil War era to life for the purposes of educating the public and preserving history. We strive to emulate the original soldiers that comprised the original Company K of the 67th New York Volunteer Infantry, a regiment that was also known as the First Long Island Volunteers.
The 67th NY is dedicated to the goal of educating and preserving history.
We participate in a variety of Living History events throughout Long Island including parades, encampments, school programs, and, of course, re-enactments of the more conventional variety. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization under the New York State Board of Regents and have public charity status as a 501c3 organization under the Federal IRS code. Most of what we earn is donated for the preservation of Civil War Battlefields and other historical sites relating to the era. Since our inception we have given over $20,000 to institutions such as the Civil War Trust for saving our nation's Civil War battlefields. Additionally, we are devoted to keeping alive the spirit of the regiment who we represent and ensuring that our generation does not forget the sacrifices and accomplishments of the men who fought to save our Union. We always take our history seriously...but never ourselves.
Our hobby takes us on long marches through the magnificent countryside of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland where many a real battle has taken place and all the while we never fail to have a good time. If you don't believe us, then please click on our Photo Album below. A picture is worth...well, you know the rest.
As for any potential recruits, scroll down below to our Recruiting Station and you will see a little more detail as to what we do and what we require from a potential member.
And for those who are curious enough to see us in action check out our Schedule below. Most of our events are local however we do go on the road several times during the re-enacting season.
And should you have any questions or share a criticism, compliment, comment, or good old-fashion nonsensical ramblings, please send us an e-mail.
Now enough with the introductions...you're on your own...carry on.

Spring is almost here, a perfect season to start up with your training. But how do you set a fitness goal that works? I hope to inspire you and give you the tools to set goals that last!
The result of your exercise is up to you, and with the right supplements you can reach your goals more efficiently, feeling better along the journey even during the toughest parts. I take no short cuts when it comes to my exercise, and the same goes for my supplements. ARGI + is on of my favorites, as well as Forever Pro X2 for snacks and extra calories when I need them to keep me going.
My biggest tip to reach your fitness goals is primarily to know what you want and why. Then you make a plan on how to follow through. Work with milestones, large and small, and give yourself rewards that reinforce your determination and help with your end goal. Maybe start by rewarding yourself with 30 minutes of television each week or by indulging in dessert one night a week. Whatever it is, write it down and work for it.
Your preparations vary depending on what kind of goal you have. If your goal is to participate in a race with a set goal time, it is measurable and you have a given deadline. Prepare physically and mentally for the fatigue and pain you might experience during the race. Add these elements into your workout plan to meditate on and think about.
If your goal is about losing weight and being healthier, you must make a lifestyle change. You need to think about both what it will take to get there and what you will become when you´ve reached your goal and changed your lifestyle. Write down things you've never been able to accomplish in the past, but have always wanted to, such as run a half marathon or learn to ride a bike. When you've reached your fitness goal, aim to do something on that list.
The mental part is important when you set your goal. You have to be prepared for your own reactions and feel comfortable with the positive results that await. You will feel better and be proud of your achievements in the end. And remember, the goal, whatever it is, is always about personal development and becoming a better version of yourself.

So of course the brand's new mobile showroom has been designed with a touch of show-biz sparkle. Currently open to the public in Chicago, the Traveling Show will head to seven more North American cities over the next year. The portable exhibition was designed by David Rockwell to show off the brand's greatest hits, or as George Kordaris, CEO of Moroso USA puts it, "the pieces that created the biggest fuss when they were introduced." Expect chairs, sofas, and lighting by Patricia Urquiola, Antonio Citterio, Marcel Wanders, and Ron Arad. For the stage, Rockwell used unfinished wood frames, muslin, upholstery tacks, and theatrical clamp lighting to create a boardwalk timeline. "We wanted it to be flexible, cost-effective, and theatrical," he says. "A show that would stir excitement around the history of Moroso."

Devan Kennifer scored three times, but Harvard dropped its Harvard Invitational opener to San Jose State Friday night at Blodgett Pool (photo courtesy Harvard Atheltic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's water polo team snapped a five-game win streak, as No. 12 San Jose State pulled away from the Crimson, 15-8, at Blodgett Pool Friday night. The matchup, which was pegged as the Harvard Student Rewards game, was the opening game in the Harvard Invitational.
Harvard put itself in a hole early, as the Spartans opened the first period with a 4-1 lead. The Crimson were resilient in the first half, as they have been all season, and came back to get within one at the halftime break. Harvard outscored San Jose State, 3-1, during the second frame.
San Jose State regained momentum out of the break, as the Spartans put up four goals in the third quarter. Harvard could muster only one tally in the third, leaving San Jose State with a 9-5 lead, which the Spartans would ride to victory.
The Crimson found the back of the cage three times in the final eight minutes, but San Jose State added six scores to secure the win.
Devan Kennifer led Harvard with a hat trick, while Victoria Frager and Shayna Price scored twice. Shannon Purcell contributed three assists.
On the defensive end of the pool, Aisha Price, Lizzie Abbott and Ariel Dukes each came up with two steals. Dukes stopped nine Spartan shots in goal.
The Crimson is back in Blodgett Pool tomorrow for a pair of games at the Harvard Invitational. Harvard meets No. 18 Princeton at 11:40 a.m. and Bucknell at 7 p.m.
The invitational restarts at 9 a.m. tomorrow with Iona vs. San Jose State.

Movie 8, originally uploaded by Click Photography KC.
In September of 2008, I switched from a Windows computer to a Fancy-Amazing-Beautiful 24" iMac computer...and in doing so, I found a super cool thing included with the computer, called Photobooth. This neat little software that utilizes the built-in cam and microphone was actually the deal breaker in decided whether to get the iMac or a Mac Tower. My kids are obsessed with Photobooth.
Anyway... I had the iMac in the living room for a short time while I transitioned things from my PC to the new system. I would let my kids play around with it from time to time (while supervised). Apparently, they also got onto the computer when I wasn't looking. Just a little bit ago, I just happened to accidentally stumble upon this file and I am still laughing over it. This is GOLD to me. It completely shows them as they truly are more than 95% of the time. I can't wait to show this to them when they are all grown.
Just had to share my little monsters with you.

Mark Byrnes is a former senior associate editor at CityLab who writes about design and architecture.
The oft-retold story of Pruitt-Igoe's demise might not be true after all.
The project, created to solve St. Louis's rapid inner city decline, was demolished just 20 years after its development. Ever since, it has been universally derided. Postmodernists and New Urbanists blame the scale and banality of Minouru Yamasaki's brick towers, proclaiming its demolition the death of modernism.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, directed by Chad Freidrichs, explores the complex set of economic, political, and social issues that surrounded the infamous public housing project. Through rich archival footage and insightful interviews with former residents, Freidrichs tells us something we have failed to understand: Pruitt-Igoe was once a very good thing.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History – Film Trailer from the Pruitt-Igoe Myth on Vimeo.
Prior to the housing project's opening, residential properties in North St. Louis were owned by private landlords. Owners essentially turned their buildings into slums, cramming in as many occupants as possible while investing very little in upkeep. These notorious conditions all but forced the city government to do what the private sector would not - create a clean and stable environment for the city's poor.
Initially, Pruitt-Igoe succeeded. Its residents cherished the simple privileges of having windows or a room all to themselves. Wide and naturally-lit hallways encouraged social interactions and a sense of community.
The arrangement of the towers created open space, something that simply did not exist within the slums that once stood there. Perhaps the most symbolically democratic part of living in Pruitt-Igoe was that it allowed some of the city's poorest residents to have the best views of St. Louis, a place that had become severely segregated.
The former residents interviewed in Pruitt-Igoe Myth share simple memories of a pleasant community in its advent. These stories add a much-needed personal narrative to a place we typically view with intellectual distance. The happiness in the retelling of move-in day for Pruitt-Igoe's early residents is palpable. There are also stories of neighbors dancing in the hallways and of the excitement in seeing Christmas lights on different living room windows.
But that did not last long. Public housing maintenance was not funded by the public sector, that revenue had to come from rent payments. But low rents made it difficult to pay for proper upkeep. Pruitt-Igoe fell into a rapid decline as garbage piled up, elevators failed and windows were broken.
Rents were raised to assist with this, leaving some residents paying up to 75 percent of their income for their housing. The conditions became so poor that at one point, residents organized and withheld their rent.
Families with a male head of household could not receive welfare. As a result, residents said that fathers would move out of state (or at least pretend to) so their wives and children could stay afloat.
The city's population was shrinking fast (from 821,960 in 1930 to 452,801 in 1980), and industry was moving to the suburbs. North St. Louis, where the housing project was located, no longer offered easy access to jobs.
It was those conditions that led to Pruitt-Igoe's descent and dramatic demolition. Never in these recollections do residents blame modernism or Yamasaki.
Time has morphed the discussion of Pruitt-Igoe's demise into a simplistic discussion of aesthetic and race. Thanks to Pruitt-Igoe Myth, that conversation can refocus on the bigger picture of events and policies that doomed it. Pruitt Igoe's story is not about the death of modernism, it's about the demise of the American inner city - one that no new building could ever save.
In an era of austere federal funding for urban public transportation, light rail seemed to make sense. Did the little trains of the 1980s pull their own weight?
Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.
The pioneering festival marketplace was among the most trendsetting urban attractions of the last 40 years. Now it's looking for a new place in a changed city.
Public transportation systems in the United States gained passengers over the second and third quarters of 2019. But the boost came from two large cities.
Tiny upper-floor "maids' rooms" have helped drive down local assumptions about exactly how small a livable home can be.

Katine 'ideal home' winner sets standards in national hygiene drive
In a campaign to promote household and personal hygiene in Uganda, a Katine family has won an "ideal homestead" competition. How did they do it?
Almost everything about Charles Adengu's home tempts you to look again. None more so than the five large, terrace-thatched huts with smooth walls painted with motorcycles, footballs, cattle or juicy-looking pineapples. A sixth, smaller hut, just outside the main compound, looks like a teenager's fancy dwelling until you are told that it is actually the pit latrine, with a yellow jerry-can for hand-washing suspended from a stick in the ground nearby.
Riding in on a sunny Thursday afternoon, I am struck by the cool, fresh air thanks to numerous trees that cast swaying shadows on the brown earth of an impeccably clean, well-swept compound in Katine, north eastern Uganda. I had not heard of Adengu until I was given his name a few hours earlier by the African Medical Research Foundation (Amref), which with the Guardian is supporting the Katine community development project. Adengu, with his family, is the proud winner of an "ideal home" competition in Katine, and sitting on the brick-bordered veranda of one of the huts, with its smooth, cow dung-plastered floor, I can see why.
"I was happy that my home was selected as the cleanest because I have always tried to have a spacious, clean homestead; even [our] previous homestead was nearly as good as this one," Adengu tells me later under bright moonlight, after he has returned from grazing cattle.
Besides the cleanliness of the homestead, which is surrounded by hedges, Adengu says the water and sanitation inspectors from both Katine and Soroti district were impressed because they found "everything" that a home should have – pit latrine, bath shelter, rubbish pit, granary, chicken house, rack for utensils, etc.
"They said this home has a very good temperature because we have planted many trees," says Adengu, who estimates he is in his late 50s. "[They] provide shade for people to relax and children to play on hot days."
Selection of homes like Adengu's is the culmination of a process aimed at promoting household and personal hygiene, according to Stephen Adowa, assistant water officer for hygiene and sanitation education in Soroti district. As part of Uganda's national sanitation week, the district organises competitions and awards prizes to the best homesteads. In the past, annual activities were spread across the entire district; but, since 2008, limited funding (UShs 3.7m or $1,800 a year) has forced authorities to choose one "model" village in a particular sub-county.
"Because of limited funds, we decided to concentrate on a smaller area so as to realise a bigger impact," says Adowa. This year the "model" village is Okulonyo, in Olio sub-county, about 60km from Katine. It was selected because it had very poor indicators: latrine coverage stood at barely 7% compared, for instance, to 39% in Katine.
In collaboration with the sub-county and village leadership, Adowa's team carried out a sustained campaign in Okulonyo, educating residents about the importance of hygiene and sanitation in keeping healthy and avoiding and containing diseases such as diarrhoea.
The finale involves homesteads tidying up their homes, with a judging panel due to visit and pick out the top five to receive prizes. But because of the strong partnership with Amref, the district authorities also decided to recognise the best home in Katine which led to the selection of Adengu's home about three months ago.
Since the Katine project started in 2007, Amref has worked with communities to increase clean water supplies and improve sanitation. Parish sanitation committees, facilitated by Amref, have stepped up education in areas such as use of pit latrines and the need to wash hands after each visit. Amref, for instance, has given schools and parishes kits for digging pit latrines.
The competition provides further motivation for people to take the messages seriously. Adengu acknowledges that, although he has always valued hygiene, the Amref project has given him new ideas, such as digging a deeper pit latrine and building a rack for washed utensils to keep them off the ground.
"These competitions are very effective in promoting hygiene and sanitation," says Stephen Adowa. "People get motivated by these prizes and it involves the local leaders and [encourages] all households in the village to improve their homesteads."

Last night, the Long Island Ducks released former Braves cattlehand John Rocker after Rocker said he needed to "take a step back" from baseball. It is not known if Rocker is going to try to peddle his wares elsewhere, or if he will look for a second career.
If he does decide to try something else, we would like to formally suggest Rocker get back into acting. For those of you who might have forgotten, in 2002 Rocker starred in a slasher film called The Greenskeeper, playing an angry man at a golf course who kills random naked teenagers. Rocker's face is barely shown in the movie — though that's him in the picture, under a ton of makeup (we hope) — but it supposedly is him under the Greenskeeper's mask. (You can watch the movie's trailer here.) Rocker isn't even the most noteworthy part of the movie; what strikes us as particularly nutso is the film's score, which was written by none other than Kip "His Teeth Are Whiter Than White" Winger. We're still kind of weirded out by this whole post, actually.

Oral contraception
birth control methods, including pills (called
"mini-pills"), implants, and shots, prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg
(ovulation), thicken mucus at the cervix so sperm cannot enter the uterus, and
in rare cases, prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
Progestin-only mini-pills
come in a monthly pack. To be effective, the pills must be taken at the same time each day. If you take a pill more than 3 hours late:
The progestin-only implant releases hormones that prevent pregnancy for 3 years. The actual implant is a
thin rod about the size of a matchstick. This is inserted under the skin on the
inside of the upper arm.
The birth control shot, such as Depo-Provera, is effective
for 12 to 13 weeks.
Progestin-only mini-pills, implants,
and shots are good choices for women who:
Shots and implants are highly
effective methods of birth control.
Progestin-only mini-pills are
very effective, but combination hormone pills are even more effective. Also,
the mini-pill has to be taken at the same time every day to work
This method is highly effective,
unless you fail to get a shot after 3 months.footnote 2
This method is very effective,
but you must take the mini-pill at the same time every day.footnote 2
This method is extremely effective and
lasts for 3 years.footnote 2
Some combinations of medicine may affect the birth control hormones in
your body, making them too strong or too weak. This may increase your chance of
becoming pregnant. Or a new medicine may be less likely to work because you
have birth control hormones in your body. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist
to make sure that the medicines you take are not causing problems when you are
using hormonal birth control.
Most side effects of the progestin-only
birth control methods go away after the first few months of use. Side effects
Less common progestin side effects include
depression and darkening of the skin on the upper lip,
under the eyes, or on the forehead (chloasma).
Bone thinning. Use of the shot for 2 or more years can cause bone loss,
which may not be fully reversible after stopping the medicine.footnote 3
For teens, bone loss from the shot is a
concern. Teens are normally building bone mass as they grow. This is why it is
very important for teens to get enough calcium and vitamin D when using
the shot. A small study among teens showed that bone loss from the shot
was reversed after the teens stopped getting the shots.footnote 4 Talk to your doctor about your risk if you have been using
the shot for longer than 2 years.
Breastfeeding women can use the mini-pill or shot without worrying about
effects on their milk supply or the baby. But using progestin-only birth
control after having
gestational diabetes appears to make it more likely
that you will develop
diabetes.footnote 1
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects.
(Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Progestin-only mini-pills may not
be as effective if you are vomiting or have diarrhea. Use another method of
birth control for 7 days after vomiting or diarrhea, even if you have not
missed any pills.

When it comes to serving wealthy clients, digital solutions are playing a growing role, says a study released today by SEI, Scorpio Partnership and NPG Wealth Management. This means financial advisors need to get their websites and other online tools to match their levels of quality, expertise and responsiveness, experts say.
The study, which highlights the views of 3,025 investors worldwide with an average net worth of about $2.9 million, finds that 92 percent use digital tools to support their wealth management transactions.
More than two-thirds of HNW investors under 40 assess the market through their online accounts at least once a month, according to the research, which is part of the groups' Futurewealth Project.
"Across the board and especially among those under 40, digital plays a valuable role in their experience when you consider the amount of time they spend online and their reliance on digital for a variety of information," said Ryan Hicke, senior vice president of SEI Wealth Platform, an outsourcing group, in a press release.
"The sticking point for this segment, though, is that many of the digital tools are not engaging," Hicke said. "Wealth managers may need to consider upgrading their technology to ensure customers are fully engaged."
Still, wealth managers can't be complacent, given the increasing use of online tools. More than half of those HNW investors surveyed say they use online accounts with their primary wealth advisor each month or more frequently to see reviews of the market (55 percent), review performance analyses (55 percent), check information about securities (51 percent) and track portfolio evaluations (51 percent). When asked to rate the importance of different factors on their satisfaction with wealth management transactions (on a scale of 1 to 100), HNW investors cite the advisor's level of experience (65), market knowledge (65) and understanding of individual needs (65). They place less emphasis on the ability of a wealth manager to simulate portfolio strategies online (39), ability to customize online reporting (38) and having an easily navigable website (37).
Plus, close to one in five log into their accounts each day to get reviews of the market (17 percent). This use, experts say, suggests that HNW investors crave access to "a holistic view of their wealth online."
Striking the right balance
"The advisor is clearly the linchpin of the service delivery experience, but that doesn't mean they should discount the value of digital tools in supporting their clients' needs," said Kevin Crowe, head of Solutions for SEI Advisor Network, in a statement. "The survey results clearly demonstrate that the Futurewealthy go online to see an array of information, including the state of their wealth."
Without a doubt, digital tools are going to play "an increasingly important role in the way these up-and-coming wealthy individuals interact with their advisors," Crowe said. "We're quickly moving to a world where digital interaction is the new normal, and advisors need to make sure they have the technology solutions to compete."

Abstract: Manifesto for the Reputation Society by Hassan Masum and Yi–Cheng Zhang
By Robert Link, 10 years 25 weeks ago.
From the text: "Reputation is a surrogate — a partial reflection representing our "best educated guess" of the underlying true state of affairs.

SSRN Abstract: Lemley's "Property, Intellectual Property, and Free Riding"
By Robert Link, 10 years 25 weeks ago.
From the text: "...copying information actually multiplies the available resources, not only by making a new physical copy but by spreading the idea and therefore permitting others to use and enjoy it. The result is that rather than a tragedy, an information commons is a "comedy" in which everyone benefits. The notion that information will be depleted by overuse simply ignores basic economics...It is not that free riding won't occur with information goods; to the contrary, it is ubiquitous. Everyone can use E=mc2, the words of Shakespeare, or the idea of the tragedy of the commons without compensating their creators."
How to manage communication within your company: the end of the email nightmare
By mdangeard, 10 years 40 weeks ago.
I recently received a message from somebody who had declared "email bankruptcy": basically his email inbox was getting so big, and he was falling so far behind, that he gave up on trying to manage the information overflow, and decided to open a new email account to start fresh. He was informing his friends that anything that had not been answered would not be, and whoever had important business to deal with could contact him at the new email address. He was not the first and I see more and more of this happening.
New Territories - New Currencies
By mdangeard, 10 years 43 weeks ago.
I discussed in a previous post presenting Xavier Comtesse work on the matter how New Territories are emerging as a result of the disconnection between the business layer and geographical limits as defined by nations or other governmental entities.
Related to this trend, it is interesting to see now more and more projects around the concept of virtual currencies.

Re:good for you, that was very informative.
anyway, what are they suing for, money or an apology?
Chris, 15 Mar 2007 @ 8:45pmlol, google should offer legal support to all the people and get viacom to drop the lawsuit in return for not getting themselves sued out the ass.
Anonymous Coward, 15 Mar 2007 @ 8:53pmthe only ones that will be happy with all these lawsuits are the fat lawyers
DCX2, 15 Mar 2007 @ 9:12pm
Karmais a bitch.
I think they should sue for triple damages. Willful infringement - Viacom openly admits not caring.
I'm thinking...class action lawsuit. Come on, there's gotta be some evil lawyer somewhere that could actually do the world some good for once...
Derrick Hinkle, 15 Mar 2007 @ 9:20pm
Viacom SucksViacom sucks, and now as DXC2 said, Karma is a bitch. They're actions are coming back to bite them as it should be. They're so worried about their technical rights and their little scrounge of profit over any sort of real source of income from flow of their content, and so stuck on their own niche market and ancient buisness model that they can't adapt.
They then proceed to turn around and act like they did no harm when they did the same done to them. Their have as many sides as dice if not more.
Chris, 16 Mar 2007 @ 12:12am
Re: Viacom SucksMr. Hinkle, if English isn't your primary language, then I can forgive the horrendous missues of the "their" and "they're." Otherwise seriously, wtf?
As far as Viacom being held liable, im sure some lawyer will insist that it was Googles fault, not Viacom, that the wrong media was removed. It's not like they themselves were given the right to access the database and delete whatever they saw fit. Anyway I'm hopefull a judge will drop both cases.

Re: Re: Viacom SucksMr. Chris,
Since you were so hard on Mr. Hinkle for his various usages of their and they're I'm not sure that I can forgive your lack of understanding of the use of the apostrophe when writing the possessive and contractions, nor your ability to comprehend the simple rule that 'I' should always be capitalized.
Irony is the best comedy.
I. P. Wright, 16 Mar 2007 @ 5:18am
IP RightsThe fact is Viacom's rights were violated en masse by Google, Youtube, and their patrons. Outrage over that for a while. Or, let me know where you live so I can take most of your possessions and put them in the park for everyone to use for free. Then I can talk about how unreasonable you are to want them back, especially when everyone is enjoying them so much without your permission. Yeah, that'd be stupid, wouldn't it? Think.
YouKnowNothing, 16 Mar 2007 @ 6:16am
Re: IP Rights"...let me know where you live so I can take most of your possessions and put them in the park for everyone to use for free."
Flawed analogy. You're conflating intellectual property with real, tangible property. Please don't do that.
A better analogy would be if you took a magic wand and made *exact duplicates* of most of my possessions and put them in a park for everyone to use for free. I would still retain possessions of most of my possessions, and couldn't care less if everyone freely used those exact duplicates in a park somewhere.
Paul, 16 Mar 2007 @ 6:22am
Re: IP RightsGoogle was just as wrong as your analogy. You can't compare physical goods and digital goods in the way you're doing so. It completely invalidates the argument. When you take them, I no longer have it. If you copy digital content, I still have it, therefore I'm not at a true loss. Any losses, if any, come from the loss of revenue. if there is a loss, however, its not youtube's fault. its those who uploaded it. its like blaming the UofM for filesharing when its the students themselves who are doing the sharing. you can't blame the platform, you gotta blame THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING THE MISDEED. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO FOCUS ON THAT.
Also, Viacom is at fault because they wrongly claimed they owned something and based on that claim, YouTube followed the law (which they're good at) and removed it.
Wizard Prang, 16 Mar 2007 @ 8:04am
What "rights"?First up, there is no such thing as "Intellectual Property".
Secondly, rights to what? If Google were robbing them of their rights to profit from their stuff, or costing them something, then naturally they should be held to account.
However, if this is just Viacom pounding their chests and yodeling "It's our Stuuuuuuff", then they should be thrown out on their ear and slapped with a "Don't do that again" injunction. It appears to me that Google is doing a great job giving Viacom free publicity.
This is all secondary to the fact that Copyright laws need a major rewrite - this time with the public at the table.

Right to profit"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"

That "exclusive right" includes the right to profit from their stuff.

manster, 17 Mar 2007 @ 10:12am
Re: IP Rightsthis only works if they copy all of your possesions then do as you said hmmmmmm no damage and no real loss if they want to protect there property then write it to a read once media and stop trying to bleed the average guy who doesent have much like always viacom and others arent worried about the artist only their virtual dollars money that realy isnt there the possible sales are what they might have made in profit is what they want its there fault if you write a harrypotter novel on a giant billboard and eveyone sees it then you sell copies you r the idiot there are pencils and paper the odds are it would be coppied thats where we are you need to get perspective and not choose a emotionless corp that would rather see you as a braindead consumer buy wht they have to sell no matter its content and for viacom stop crying

We have a contender......for the "my punctuation and shift keys don't work" award.
I'm no perfectionist, but that massive run-on-sentence is seriously hard to read.
I.P. Wrong, 16 Mar 2007 @ 6:00amYouTube/Google is not at fault, in the same way as the park you cite is not at fault.
And as has previously been reported (tho' that may be wrong, of course), Viacom had to list the clips it wanted removing... all YouTube did was honour that list.
So the faulty removal of non-Viacom owned content is entirely Viacom's fault.
Think on...

ThoughtsRe # 7
rofl, nice
To the article:
I am just glad that the people aren't stupid enough to sue Google because it is not their fault. They were following a law, however stupid and flawed it is. I am amazed to see the people being hurt actually suing the right people for a change. It is usually some user hurt by somebody's stupid video they took of the stupider person doing something incredibly stupid. And then the fool goes and sues Google because its apparently Google's fault that they did something embarrassing and somebody else put it online.
Sanguine Dream, 16 Mar 2007 @ 7:25am
How about this analogy?I think you may have missed the issue in your analogy commentor #8.
Imagine if I run a radio station. On said station I play established and unknown rock bands. A few dozen known rock bands (I mean huge like Metallica, Rolling Stones, and Korn) gives a list of the songs that they claim to own the rights to and tells me to remove them. On that list are a few songs that do not belong to any of those bands but belong to your underground band. How is it right for them to claim ownership of your material? How would you feel if when you called them on it they basically just say, "Oh well, so what?"
Viacom was so adamant in defending the rights of there own content but they somehow managed to not verify that the list of content they wanted removed was really theirs? I'm willing to bet that if they had missed some of their content they would write up another removal order quick, fast and in a damn hurry. Owning a lot of content does not excuse you from veryfing what you own and it most certainly does not give you permission to write up mass removal orders under the justification that the content "might be yours."
Jack, 16 Mar 2007 @ 10:43amFor those who think this is no big deal, suppose you had a web site or a blog or a profile on MySpace and some big company claimed that whatever you had written was theirs, and had it taken down? Assuming you had written every word yourself, I daresay you'd be pretty pissed. Same difference.
The problem is that big corporations can get away with things that you couldn't. For example, let's say you owe one of the utility companies that provides service to your home some money - after a couple of months of no payment they will send someone around to shut off your service, which is fine, except for one thing. Ever had THEM owe YOU money, for example from cutting down a tree on your property that they had no legal right to cut, or tearing up your lawn while laying new pipes or cables? IF they bother to compensate you at all, it will likely take a lot longer than two months, and a lot of your time and effort to get them to pay off. In a fair and just world, after two months of non-payment, you could go out and dig up their cables or pipes and at least sell the metal for scrap to recover your loss - but if YOU try that, you'd wind up in jail. See, YOU have to go to court and get a judgment to exercise your remedies, but big corporations somehow get to skip that whole court thing and get to just take action against you... and very often they have specific legislation that protects them in that, as though your lawmakers just assume that big corporations can do no wrong.
Someday, maybe voters will actually stop voting for politicians that bend over for any big corporation that throws a campaign contribution their way. Unfortunately the voters have not yet become sufficiently disgusted with this sort of behavior by politicians. Maybe it will take a generation or two of oppression by the big corporations before people finally figure out that the corporation is a soulless, often evil entity with no sense of conscience (with rare exceptions, where the people in charge actually feel responsible to do the right thing). In the vast majority of cases the corporation exists only to maximize profits for their shareholders or owners, and the the morality of their actions is a very low priority on their list of considerations prior to taking any action.
pixelm, 16 Mar 2007 @ 6:30pm
Just the FactsFolks - viacom manually reviewed more than 1.8 MILLION clips on YouTube and sent more than 150,000 takedown notices. About 150 were in error. As soon as Viacom became aware of ANY errors, it sent retractions to YouTube - usually within the day. Not sure how anyone could be more careful than that.
In the short run, in small doses, infringement makes everyone happy. In the long run, in large ones, songs stop getting recorded, television shows stop getting made. Viacom can protect itself, but the principle Viacom is defending protects artists and creators big AND small. YouTube sells ads and makes money on the site. Copyright owners without a Youtube deal don't. It seems simple to me that it's entirely unfair to allow YouTube to profit and not protect against the damage.
Rob, 16 Mar 2007 @ 6:49pm"manually reviewed more than 1.8 MILLION clips"? I doubt it.
If manual review takes around 10 seconds each, do the math and think about how many man-years of effort this would be.
Phil Wolff, 16 Mar 2007 @ 9:20pm
Re: Viacom5000 person-hours at 10 seconds a clip. Let's make it longer, a full minute per clip: 30k hours. Let's say a person works an effective 120 hours in a month.That would make this 250 person-months. 100 people for 10 weeks, perhaps offshored? Even at $2k per person-month, $500k isn't too much for a suit this large. Especially with per-instance penalties part of the upside.
I imagine that some technology could filter the content, boosting accuracy and productivity ten-fold.
Hersh, 19 Mar 2007 @ 10:48am
This is bad news for Google. Not so much ViacomThis lawsuit is going to create more problems for Google.
The only way Google is going to be able to avoid future lawsuits from other content companies like Viacom is by hammering out some sort of agreement with them to allow their content to be shown via Youtube/Gvideo. The problem is any agreement that is satisfactory to the content companies is going to involve some level of oversight by the content companies over what and how much of their content is posted for free. In addition Google will probably always be responsible for taking down unauthorized content in a reasonable amount of time.
Now if content companies come under scrutiny themselves for wrongly removing content--if user lawsuits continue--then why would these content companies want to continue to take responsibility for removing their illegally posted content? They might just as well tell Google to do it itself, as it is Google's responsibility according to current law to make sure pirated content is taken down. But does Google want that headache? How is Google going to identify what is copyrighted material?
Its in Google's interest that content companies feel comfortable policing their own content. This lawsuit doesn't make them comfortable. In fact I suspect Google will come down on Viacom's side on this one.
Wizard Prang, 24 Mar 2007 @ 9:56am
Worse for Viacom, in my book.First there is the loss of exposure that Google Video provides.
Secondly there is the backlash from the collateral takedowns.
Thirdly, I will be less inclined to consume Viacom's products (Paramount, Dreamworks etc), and neither will anyone I know.
Viacom may have the legal high ground, but Google have less to lose. Besides... who loses when a couple of million geeks start telling their friends not to buy Shrek XVII?
ClawdWolf, 3 Nov 2013 @ 10:39am
ViacomHey every one should hate Viacom they make sexual toys they are suing youtube for putting up some videos that are theirs withour promishion but why why
ClawdWolf, 3 Nov 2013 @ 10:46amI think we should all be against Viacom if you are wondering who is running Viacom it's sunder red stone we need to shut down Viacom p.s pleas do not right bad things if you do you picked the wrong person to mess with I will f*ck you up if you do mess with me

What is cdBBQ?
Welcome to cdBBQ! Since 2001, I have restored many thousands of records to CDs. Much of my work has been for the artists themselves and their families. For example, Mr. Theodore Bikel described his custom CDs from cdBBQ as "lovely."
Every item for sale is a vinyl record (LP or single) that I will acquire from one of the record dealers I work with. I then create two identical audiophile quality CDR copies (one for play and one for your archive), and send all to you! As I source these records from dealers around the world, please allow 2-4 weeks for me to acquire the record, convert to CDR, and send both to you (plus transit time to you).
The guiding principle on every transfer I do is to not distort the music in any way. The fact is that most noise reduction programs are harmful to the music, often destroying the warmth we all treasure in vinyl. I have developed effective but harmless noise reduction methods that require a little more effort but produce fantastic results.

Van Morrison > Justin Timberlake
Obviously. Jimmy Fallon Late Night premiere – did you watch? Can't blame him for being totally cranked the entire time. It was the first show after all. Hopefully he'll dial it back, chill out going forward. I buzzed for a full hour afterwards. There were ups, there were downs. The De Niro interview I enjoyed. Full Story

Today I have partnered with sponsor and friend of Little Big, Bethany Nixon of Reware Vintage! This is the online vintage shop that I frequent the most, and I own something from just about every type and category of merchandise she sells. She really gets into the spirit of vintage, not just selling vintage items, but repurposing and creating art out of them, too.
I have these earrings, and they are so cute. Elias loves them, too, excitedly proclaiming LOOK! TRIANGLES! every time I wear them.
This blanket is for a baby doll, and an example of the fun little details for the home I love to find while thrifting. That fabric is just great, too.
Reware Vintage doesn't just have clothes for adults, it has great finds for kids, too! If only it were larger I'd get it for Elias.
How cute is this skirt?! The fabric alone is perfect, but that lion applique is too adorable.
This is the exact type of menswear I search for when shopping for Anthony.
Vintage ski sweaters are my new favorite thing.
This necklace is perfect.
Look at this fabulous black suede jacket! I see jackets like this in cinnamon and rust all the time. Finding it in black is very rare!
In addition to vintage, she also sells notebooks. I have a couple and they are perfect for planning menus, scribbling down ideas, or sketching plants you've discovered while on a nature walk.
This is my ideal summer dress, super cute but unfussily simple. And it's plus sized, which many stores online don't bother to carry.
The colors and pattern of this skirt are a dream. They'd pair perfectly with my new earrings from Reware Vintage, which, speaking of…
I actually have these earrings, and I bought another pair just like it for a friend. They are like a BFF necklace for the ears, and fittingly, they are made out of discarded vinyl. Their lilac color is everything.
The earrings would also look amazing with this polyester shirt.
Reware Vintage has amassed an impressive collection of vintage cotton tees. She is the unofficial queen of the vintage tee. I bought an amazing Beck shirt from her last summer, in fact.
These goldenrod-hued record earrings are next on my to-buy list.
The shop also carries lovely infinity scarves made from vintage fabric. I have a black one with a florescent floral pattern and it's by far my most frequently worn winter scarf.
You need to check out her art section of the shop. Great stuff.
And finally, when you are headed to the beach or the pool this summer, you are going to need a beach towel. She's got you covered.
You can find Bethany on twitter, etsy, instagram, and facebook. And of course, on RewareVintage.com!

Emancipation Proclamation made 150 years ago by President Abraham Lincoln
On January 1, 1863, a proclamation started the United States on a new path, one of equality for all. The Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln declared that people held as slaves in states that had receded from the Union would, from now on, be free.
There was no way to enforce such a proclamation. The Civil War was in the midst of its third year of ghastly conflict. Slavery didn't end overnight, but became the issue that raised the stakes of the already terrible war. More years of fighting would ensue. The North would eventually prevail in preserving the Union of states. But it would be decades, even a century, before civil rights of all Americans began to level.
On this day, the first of a new year, we remember this remarkable document of our history, enacted 150 years ago.

I'm currently in the late stages of development for a platform-esque iPhone game and am beginning to look into the graphics. Being a developer through-and-through, I have limited design skills and my budget can't stretch too far to pay a designer to build all the assets.
I've noticed a few games recently that are heavily styled which helps with the look of the game (consistency etc...) and keep the graphics required down to a minimum. The best example of this I can find is the iOS game "Contre Jour".
So, I'm wondering how I can go about a) picking & designing a style that will work with the game and b) implementing it within the Cocos2d environment.
Thanks, Andy
