White chocolate mousse with warm balsamic strawberries
Chef Franklin Biggs
MONTGOMERY, AL - Community leaders in four Alabama cities will sample local barbecue sauces and send regional winners to the "BBQ Sauce-Off" championship on May 18 in Birmingham.
The regional competitions will begin May 4 in downtown Montgomery at the Southern Makers Festival and in Mobile at the Market on the Square. The following Saturday competitions will be held in Decatur at the Decatur/Morgan County Farmers Market and in Tuscaloosa at the Tuscaloosa River Market.
Alabama Tourism Department's Brian Jones said the Sauce-Off is a follow up to the popular BBQ Bracket contest on Facebook that state tourism did last month. "We had more than 81,000 votes cast on our Alabama Food Facebook page with Jim 'N Nick's ending up as our state winner. The BBQ Bracket was like a hit movie and the Sauce-Off is our sequel," Jones said.

Chef Jared Danks, the program director for the Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts programs at Culinard in Birmingham, makes a white chocolate mixed berry bread pudding.
4 oz. berries
1 oz unsalter butter (melted)
12 oz white bread (day-old)
1 qt heavy cream
5 oz (3 ea) eggs
13 oz granulated sugar
1/2 fl oz vanilla extract
4 oz white chocolate
Use the portion of the butter to thoroughly coat a 2-inch (5 cm) deep hotel pan. Reserve the remaining butter.
Tear the bread into chunks and place in a large bowl. Pour the cream over the bread and set aside until soft.
Beat the eggs and sugar until smooth and thick. Add the vanilla, the remaining melted butter and the berries.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Tourism Department's contest for the favorite barbecue restaurant in the state is down to Jim 'N Nick's of Birmingham and Sam's BBQ of Montgomery.
The Facebook-based contest is patterned after March Madness and began with 32 restaurants. Jim 'N Nick's defeated Big Bob Gibson's of Decatur in the final four with a vote of 7,171 to 6,981. Sam's beat The Shed in Mobile 2,393 to 1,815.
The Tourism Department's Brian Jones said more than 75,000 votes have been cast in the online contest. The winner will be announced Monday. The winner will receive a trophy and be named "The Alabama BBQ Bracket Fan Favorite." The contest is part of the Tourism Department's Year of Alabama Food promotion.

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- If there's one thing the Best BBQ Bracket has proven so far, it's that Alabamians are passionate about their barbeque.
The state tourism department's March Madness-style bracket is pitting 32 barbeque joints from around the state against each other in a "quest for the best" barbecue in Bama.
Voting has moved into round three and the competition is fierce among the restaurants that have made it to the Elite Eight. The winners that will advance to the Final Four will be announced Saturday afternoon.
In central Alabama, Birmingham's Jim 'N Nicks is in a tight race against Tuscaloosa's original Dreamland barbeque. Just before noon, Jim N' Nicks had a slight lead of around 100 votes over Dreamland, but anything could change in the remaining hours of voting for this round.
BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- By Brandon Riggins
It's that time of year again. Cupid has taken aim and the arrows have hit their targets. All that's left is for us to show our loved ones just how much we care for them.
Valentine's card? Check.
Candy and balloons? Check.
Flowers and jewelry? Check.
Dinner reservations? ...Oops!
That last one may leave you having to get comfy on the couch later, which is "not the best way to start the year, obviously, with your loved one," according to Marco Morosini at the Silvertron Café.
Morosini advises customers to put some thought into that as well. Valentine's Day will be busy, as many couples head out on the town to enjoy a nice dinner together. But to make sure a table at your favorite place will be available, Morosini says, "Always recommend it, highly recommend it, strongly recommend it, a reservation."
The Alabama Tourism Department launched a new website this week highlighting the best in everything Alabama food, and since I like to cook and love to eat, I wanted to share my thoughts on the campaign.
A video highlighting the campaign starts with the line: "When you think of Alabama food, you think of BBQ, fried chicken, grits; but you don't know the half of it!" While I would argue that those things are all pretty darn tasty here, I agree that there are so many different cuisines and foods available in Alabama beyond the traditional Southern food.
There is a restaurant directory that lets you explore eateries by city or cuisine; a regularly updated blog delves into culinary traditions and the minds of great Alabama cooks; and there's the well-known "100 dishes you should eat in Alabama before you die" list.

Miracle Bath Tub Helping Girl and Others With Skin Conditions
By: Deedra Wilson
Updated: January 25, 2013
Health matters for one Central Arkansas family.
Whose little girl is seeing some life-changing results, after spending most of her short life with a painful medical condition.
But her new treatment isn't coming from a doctor's office.
"How does that feel? Good! I think you wore too much lip gloss."
For the first time, mother, daughter bath time is actually fun for six year old Emily and her mom, Mary.
"It makes me feel more normal. You see how you don't have eczema, it makes me feel like I don't have eczema, explained Emily."
Since two-years-old, Emily has suffered from a skin disorder that causes an itchy rash and could also lead to oozing blisters.
Emily's old treatment, a steroid cream used six times a day, including at school, at night...
"She would bathe in a bleach bath, said her mom."
Her symptoms almost unbearable.
"Stressful and nobody in the family gets a whole lot of sleep, said her mom."
But now Emily is getting relief, not at home, but at Falk plumbing in North Little Rock.
They have a bath tub equipped with a new treatment called Microsilk, when the company heard about Emily's condition, they allowed her to come everyday after school and sit in the tub.
"It matters to us for her quality of life. It's changed the whole family's quality of life and until they are actually able to purchase this tub and have it in their home, we want them to gain the benefits of that, Faulk Store Manager, Sandy Moorehead."
The benefits are billions of tiny bubbles loaded with oxygen, that clean the skin in a way proven to help with aging, muscle tension and now eczema.
It was created by Jason, a jacuzzi company in North Little Rock.
"We've got women from California to Maine excited about it, because it's a beauty product first and foremost, said Ron Kelley, Jason Regional Sales Manager."
Now Emily's eczema, is nearly gone, thanks to the Microsilk tub.
"My next step is to figure out which size tub we are getting, we do want to go forward in purchasing this, just for her quality of life, said Emily's mom."

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
The blame game is underway as Republicans and Democrats point fingers at each other for the devastating budget cuts that went into effect Friday.
Congress was unable to reach a last minute deal, forcing President Obama to sign an order Friday authorizing the cuts to begin.
The sequester will begin by slashing $85 billion to 2013 federal spending, ultimately resulting in $1.2 trillion cut over a decade. The cuts equally affect defense and non-defense spending. The cuts are unlikely to be felt right away, but rather, will be felt little by little over time. Dirty restrooms or reduced hours at National Parks. Longer lines and increased delays at airports. Larger classes as some teachers are laid off.
Locally, Fort Carson says up to 3,000 Army employees will be hit hard by these cuts starting in April, when workers will be forced to take more than 20 furlough days between then and September--the equivalent of a 20 percent pay cut.
Even with the sequester going into effect, it's not binding--Congress can still reach a deal after Obama signs the order and stop it. Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked on how to most effectively decrease the deficit. Democrats are arguing for a deficit reduction plan that is half increase in revenue, half spending cuts; Republicans are calling for a deal that relies primarily on spending cuts, as they do not want to raise taxes.

Clarkston mayor Howard Tygrett, who died on Christmas Day, is remembered as someone who was bringing positive change to the diverse city.
"The biggest thing was that he balanced the budget," said vice mayor Emanuel Ransom. "We're going into the new year with a balanced budget, finally."
Tygrett, 40, died of unknown causes while visiting his wife's family in Texas, according to city officials. Tygrett won a runoff last December and had made an impact in his short time as mayor, Ransom said.
"I lost someone who, in the short time I've known him, was a real good friend," Ransom said. "He's going to be missed."
Ransom pointed out three projects that have revitalized the city under Tygrett's direction. A new Dollar General store has come to the city, and Milam Park pool and Twin Lakes are undergoing major renovations. Twin Lakes, on the outskirts of Milam Park, is being dredged and will be stocked with fish. A fishing dock also will be added to the lake.
"It has about 14 feet of silt in it now," Ransom said. "It's going to be a family lake where people can go to fish or take a canoe out. People will be able to enjoy it like it was when I first came to Clarkston."
Ransom said it is likely that one of those three projects will be dedicated in Tygrett's honor.
"We have to keep moving on the vision that he and the council had for the city," Ransom said. "And it will be an honor to get it done."
In addition to serving as mayor, Tygrett was assistant manager of the REI store in Gwinnett County.
Under the city's bylaws, Ransom will serve out Tygrett's term as mayor, which ends in 2013. The city will be holding a special called meeting to appoint an additional council member and a vice mayor, Ransom said.
Tygrett is survived by his wife Amy and two children. The family will spread his cremated ashes on the beaches of South Padre Island in Texas, and Darling-Mouser Funeral Home in Brownsville, Texas, is handling the arrangements, according to the obituary.

UPDATE (11/28):Stacie Laughton may not be resigning after all.
Earlier this month, Stacie Laughton made headlines for winning a seat in the New Hampshire House as one of the first openly transgender candidates in the country, but she said she will not take office because of a criminal past.
Laughton said she never tried to hide anything, but she will not be sworn into the next House session.
"The turmoil that this has caused, and there are still a lot of questions that are unanswered, so at this time, I've decided to resign the election that I won on Nov. 6," Laughton said.
Laughton's abrupt resignation is in connection to three felony convictions in Belknap County in 2008 for credit card fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. At the time, Laughton was known as Barry Charles Laughton and served four and a half months behind bars.
"Never once did I think that I was deceiving anybody or was doing any sort of wrong to the voters," she said.
Because the conviction also carried a sentence that would be suspended pending 10 years of good behavior, Laughton could be in violation of a state statute that reads, "A person sentenced for a felony, from the time of his conviction until his final discharge, may not become a candidate for, or hold public office."
That statute, coupled with the nature of the crimes, led to pressure for Laughton to resign, but she said she was unaware of the law and never tried to hide her past from voters.
"Throughout the whole process, I did inform the voters that -- well, the ones that asked, anyways -- what my background was," she said. "And the ones that didn't ask, I didn't tell, but everything was always on the table for discussion."
Quite a few people WMUR spoke with said they were unaware of the convictions.

What to do about Herman Cain's troubles . . .
It's agonizing to watch the excruciating ordeal of Herman Cain as accusations of sexual harassment–and now an extramarital affair–have been made against him by various women. As we watch this tawdry spectacle, it's critical to keep in mind the philosophy both Americans and Christians must adhere to: A person is innocent until proven guilty. The Bible has it as, ""One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established." (Deuteronomy 19:15) Of course, "witnesses" must be tested to be sure they are true witnesses and not false witnesses. Mr. Cain's problem is that outside the test of a courtroom or credible investigation, the more accusers that surface, the more credible their charges become.
IF the charges are true (and that's a big "IF" because at this point only the accusers and Mr. Cain know whether they are), my pastoral advice to Mr. Cain would be to withdraw from the race immediately and give his full attention to his family, his relationship to God, and his interior life. This is precisely the advice I've given to several prominent public figures. Some took the advice and stepped down; others did not.
If there is a lesson in this wrenching saga, it is that private life does matter when it comes to public office. (Questions are being asked about Mr. Gingrich for the same reason.) You could say that Americans are too prudish (as my European acquaintances often opine), or that it's pharisaical to point the finger at another person while three fingers point back at you. (See Luke 18: 9 – 14) On the other hand, you could also say that Americans on the whole know that if you have a hard time keeping to your most intimate promises of fidelity, you just might have a hard time keeping to your most public promises on policy. (Luke 16:10 in the Bible in Basic English, "He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.")
When these revelations of infidelity come up in my private conversations with office holders–or candidates–(and they often do)–I always deliver the same counsel: "Nothing is as important as your relationship to your spouse, your family, your children, and grandchildren. And nothing–absolutely nothing–trumps your own interior relationship with God and your conscience. The best thing you can do for your loved ones and yourself, is to step away from the unmitigated demands of public life and give yourself completely to the ones you love and that love you."
Mr. Cain is a praying man. (For that matter, as far as I know, all the candidates are praying people.) Mr. Cain–and each of his rivals–must pray, contemplate, and take under wise counsel the question of whether their personal failures (and they all have them–together with the rest of us) require their full and undivided attention. I, for one, have enough confidence in Mr. Cain to believe he will, in fact, do just that and make the right call in the end.
My prayers are with him–and I hope yours will be, too.

The Weekly Squeak has been doing a series of interviews recently - Michael Rueger, Steve Hunter, and Bert Freudenberg. Good stuff - worth reading
If you lose money on every single transaction, then volume doesn't help you much - unless you can sustain that push long enough to drive the competition out of your space, of course. In the video game business, it's becoming increasingly clear that the PS3 isn't doing that:
On Wednesday, Sony reported that losses for the January-March quarter widened from the same period a year ago to 67.6 billion yen (563 million) in red ink, largely on launch costs for the PS3, or PlayStation 3, which went on sale in November in Japan and the U.S., and in March in Europe.
The funny thing is this: they are selling plenty of units, even with the high costs - more than I would have thought, honestly:
Sony shipped 5.5 million PS3 machines in the fiscal year through March 31, fewer than the 6 million the company had targeted. Nintendo shipped 5.84 million Wii machines worldwide during the same period.
So contrary to the conventional wisdom, they aren't doing so badly in volume terms - the problem is in the price point and design. Nintendo is demonstrating that you can do just fine without high end graphics (and with units that actually sell for a profit all by themselves) - while Sony is hemorrhaging money. They have other problems at Sony too - problems which stem, IMHO, from the fact that the hardware division and the software division (music/movies) are often at odds in terms of how to serve consumers.
Meanwhile, Sony seems to think that they'll break even in games next year:
Earlier this year, Yuhara had said Sony plans to break even in fiscal 2007 in the gaming business. On Thursday, he said he hoped Sony's game operations will turn a profit by fiscal 2008.
Based on those losses, I'm not sure how. The PS3 must still be very, very expensive to manufacture. To make up that deficit, they'll have to sell an astonishing number of games. Now - if Nintendo could just get sufficient stock of Wiis in the retail channel, I'd buy one...

This is interesting - even as asinine new copyright proposals get floated, there are signs that DRM for audio is dying the death from a thousand cuts: Amazon is joining the party:
"Our MP3-only strategy means all the music that customers buy on Amazon is always DRM-free and plays on any device," Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief executive, said in a statement. Users will be able to play their music on virtually any device, including PCs, iPods, Zunes and Zens, as well as burn the songs on CDs for personal use.
Someone explain this to the CTO of HBO - but be sure to use small words.

The more I think about the proposed copyright law, the dumber it sounds. Wired weighed in this morning:
The bill would also make it a criminal act to export pirated materials, as opposed to merely importing, and would grant the feds wiretapping authority when investigating copyright and trademark cases, a power the government does not currently have. Thanks to a new "attempt" provision that wouldn't require the actual commission of a violation, the bill could conceivably be expanded, in an extreme case, to interpret a computer full of music next to a spindle of blank CDs as an act of piracy.
You might say that such an intepretation sounds nuts, but consider how far the push against tobacco has gone since the early 1960s (and never mind what you think about that - just consider where things were then, and where they are now. Then look at the proposal on copyright again).
So along those lines - based on the way the RIAA sees the world, owning CD's and having software like iTunes installed could easily be construed as an attempt to infringe copyright.

What's more, they're still a powerful medium for advertising," he says in a piece for The Independent. In other words, just ignore the dramatic declines in readership and the stories of newspapers laying off thousands of people or putting themselves up for sale. Just a flesh wound.
Someone needs to ask these guys a simple question: How many people 25 or under do you ever see with a newspaper?

While reading this CNet story on a proposed extension of copyright law, I flashed on the scene in the original Star Wars flick where Leia first learns about the Death Star - right after she explains that more oppression will only lead to more rebellion.
That's about how I feel about the RIAA's and MPAA's latest wet dream - some of the provisions are just insane:
Criminalize "attempting" to infringe copyright. Federal law currently punishes not-for-profit copyright infringement with between 1 and 10 years in prison, but there has to be actual infringement that takes place. The IPPA would eliminate that requirement. (The Justice Department's summary of the legislation says: "It is a general tenet of the criminal law that those who attempt to commit a crime but do not complete it are as morally culpable as those who succeed in doing so.")
How do you define "attempted" copyright infringement? My guess is that this is an attempt to get rid of all "fair use" rights in one fell swoop. Just consider what the goons at HBO have to say about HD content, and you'll understand what they're playing at here. Amazingly enough, it gets worse:
Create a new crime of life imprisonment for using pirated software. Anyone using counterfeit products who "recklessly causes or attempts to cause death" can be imprisoned for life. During a conference call, Justice Department officials gave the example of a hospital using pirated software instead of paying for it.
That example is so contrived as to be nonsense. I'm hardly in favor of copyright infringement (heck, Cincom sells copyrighted software!) - but life imprisonment? But wait - there's more:
Allow computers to be seized more readily. Specifically, property such as a PC "intended to be used in any manner" to commit a copyright crime would be subject to forfeiture, including civil asset forfeiture. Civil asset forfeiture has become popular among police agencies in drug cases as a way to gain additional revenue, and is problematic and controversial.
Oh boy - a local cop overhears you at the grocery store, talking about a song that a friend mailed you. Next thing you know, they're breaking down your door and taking away all of your equipment. Is it just me, or are music and movie folks suffering from a completely overblown sense of their own importance?
This is the kind of problem you run into when you put live object systems onto dead VMs: people start trying to fix the wrong things. Here's Charles Nutter, complaining about ObjectSpace (which is apparently how Ruby manages "all instances") - he wants to get rid of it for JRuby:
There are no plans currently for ObjectSpace to be removed from Ruby in a future version. But there's a problem...in addition to being pure overhead in JRuby (which you can turn off completely by using the -O flag), ObjectSpace limits evolving development of the Ruby garbage collector, breaks heap and memory transparency, and poses yet more problems for threading.
There are many issues here. First off, the JRuby thing. By having to add ObjectSpace governors for all objects in the system, JRuby pays a very large penalty. We're forced to do this because the JVM (and most other advanced garbage-collecting VMs) does not allow you to traverse in-memory objects nor retrieve the object that is associated with a given ID. In general this is because the JVM does all sorts of wonderful and magical things with objects and memory behind the scenes, and the ability to ask for all objects of a given type or pull an object based on some ID number at any time cripples many of these tricks.
The base problem is that the JVM sucks for hosting dynamic languages, and this is just one of the many ways it sucks. Before Charles tosses this feature overboard, he might want to have a look at my last post for an idea as to why such functionality is valuable. Here's a thought - add proper support for dynamic languages to the JVM.
Tossing the baby out with the bathwater isn't really an answer - at least, not a serious one. Down that road you get Java with Ruby syntax, which just doesn't sound that interesting.

Here's a nice post explaining one of the ways that Smalltalk's live object model helps you out in ways you might not think of: ad-hoc testing - just grab the models directly. This is from a post that goes into testing a new part of a web app:
So I have two choices: (1) I can create the whole GUI that lets one enter data or (2) I can put some extra code in my program to populate the data, for testing.
The problem with 2 is not big, just that I'm wasting time writing stuff I will have to take out later, just so I can test. Choice 1 doesn't have that problem, but it does break my focus. I have to stop working on what I am really interested in: the display pages, to work on a data input page(s).
But Smalltalk has another option (my favorite in fact): I can simply navigate through the live web site objects (via 'find instance of') until I find pages and insert the model data directly.
There are so many little ways like this that Smalltalk just saves you time and trouble.

I've been sitting on this post for awhile; I forgot that I had flagged it as something worth noticing. I think James Governor is correct though: most marketing and PR departments are wasting time and resources, pumping out information no one cares about (or reads). Most of the websites they maintain are all about "being sticky", having people fill in forms in exchange for downloads (etc). Instead, you want to offer information with plenty of linkage outside your site - if you have good information and products, people will come back for more. You also want syndication (RSS/Atom) everywhere, because the highly connected influencers all use syndication technology - if you don't offer your content that way, they simply won't bother with you - and make sure it's full content, too!
Anyway, go read James Governor's thoughts on PR/Marketing and IT - I think it makes a lot of sense.

I just about fell off my chair when I saw Forrester predicting the death of online video sales:
"In the video space, iTunes is just a temporary flash while consumers wait for better ways to get video. They're already coming," said Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey, the author of the study, who also called the paid download video market a "dead end."
Umm, sure. Let's see... I can watch free content streamed on my PC with ads, or I can buy an AppleTV or an XBox360 and watch on that big screen I invested in. Furthermore, I can carry the video content with me that way (iPod or Zune, respectively). With the free services? I get to watch on my PC, not transfer it anywhere, and have the devil's own time getting it to display on my big TV.
There's also a cultural shift this guy isn't noticing - my daughter and her friends seem much happier to download video (and watch on their iPods) than to stream the video (with ads). The other thing missed by Forrester: the iTunes model has much better support for narrow-casting than does the broadcast ad supported one. I expect to see things sliding toward subscription and away from the broadcast ad model over time - simply because the generic ads are so poorly targeted. I expect to see ad supported subscriptions via iTunes (and similar services) winning, and the broadcast model losing.
I'd recommend this podcast by Glenn and Helen Reynolds for more on this topic.

It's not your Dad's spam-bot anymore:
Leading AV researchers at Kaspersky have now identified three criminal gangs which are participating in an increasingly desperate battle of the botnets. This turf war is, as all turf wars have a habit of doing, turning nasty and it is the average computer who is getting caught ion the crossfire. No longer are the gangs happy to settle for a slice of the spam pie, they want it all. And that means control over as many compromised third party computers to create the biggest of mega zombie botnets. To accomplish this, the gangs behind the Bagle, Warezov and Zhelatin worms are turning their attention to ridding those compromised computers of rival gang malware infections in order to install their own and gain that control.
I can't tell whether life is imitating art, or whether it's the other way around...
Even the mainstream content owners realize that they're losing the PR war over DRM; witness HBO's CTO Bob Zitter, who wants to find a friendlier sounding acronym:
Speaking at a panel session at the NCTA show in Las Vegas Tuesday, Zitter suggested that "DCE," or Digital Consumer Enablement, would more accurately describe technology that allows consumers "to use content in ways they haven't before," such as enjoying TV shows and movies on portable video players like iPods.
When you have to replace the original term with a euphemism, it's not a good sign for your side of the argument. But hey - here's a question: If DRM is now "Digital Consumer Enablement", what should we do with the loaded term "piracy"? I rather like "User Friendly's replacement: "Consumer Choice Enhancement"

Scoble talks web stats:
The thing is these services rely on toolbars (I can't even use any of the toolbars on the Macintosh for some reason, and how many of you even have one of these folks' toolbars loaded? None of my friends do and I've been checking). Or they rely on "panels" of Web users that they survey regularly. Do you know the selection mechanisms? How do they know they are getting a representative sample? Clearly very few people who run Web companies find their stats accurate. Yet we're supposed to believe in them?
Looks like everything old is new again - we still have this problem with TV shows. The thing that isn't getting across yet is the difference between the mass audience that advertisers would like (this is the business model they know), and the niche audience they actually get.
The mass audience was an artifact of the lack of choice in early media. When all you had was 3-5 TV stations and a radio dial, you picked one of the available poisons. Now? Your choices are virtually unlimited: 500+ TV channels, internet radio and TV, time slicing (TiVO, podcasts) - it's no longer a finite entertainment menu. The people doing the stats act like it's a finite menu though, and the advertisers behind them play along with the fiction so as to preserve their current behavior.
Sometime soon, reality is going to crash the party.

Scoble sums up his travel advice with this:
Anyway, the new rule we recommend? 1:30 for any domestic flight and three hours for any international flight. If you can add more, do. There's nothing more stressful than seeing a super long security line or, worse, being caught in traffic on the way to the airport knowing you are about to miss the only flight of the day.
Maybe I'm just lucky - I never allow that much time at the airport, unless the airport in question is Heathrow (it's often miserable to get through). When I fly from BWI, I usually don't leave the house until an hour before the flight, leaving 40 minutes or so at the airport.
As to what he says about checking bags - the best advice I can give is this: make it fit in two bags so that you can completely avoid baggage check. Nothing adds time to your trip like checking and retrieving bags.

In an article about Open Source software and its impact on vendors, I think I ran across one of the stupidest paragraphs I've ever seen - here's Dana Blankenhorn:
Many of these vendor fears are wrapped up in the phrase "intellectual property." What you do for me becomes my property. But why should it? Why should you, as an employer, continue to profit from the work I perform as your employee?
It's called a paycheck. If you want to have full ownership of what you do, then you do it as an independent, and take the risks that come with that. If you want to take the security of a paycheck, then you also take the restrictions that come with that. It's not that complicated - TANSTAAFL pretty much sums the whole thing up.

Just when I thought the approaches taken to DRM couldn't get stupider, I find out I'm wrong. Witness the tools at Media Rights Technologies: they claim that all the big players in the media player space are violating the law by not using their product:
A California company that makes technology designed to prevent ripping of digital audio streams has accused Apple, Microsoft, RealNetworks and Adobe Systems of violating federal copyright law by "actively avoiding" use of its products.
Media Rights Technologies and its digital radio subsidiary BlueBeat.com said in a press release on Thursday that it had issued cease and desist letters to the high-tech titans. They argue that the companies have manufactured billions of copies of Windows Vista, Adobe Flash Player, Real Player and Apple's iTunes and iPod "without regard for the DMCA or the rights of American Intellectual Property owners."
Geez - about all I can come up with on that is this: there's a business strategy that Tony Soprano would appreciate.
Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division, had some things to say about the Wii that I found somewhat surprising:
I'm actually not -- the product has gotten more broad-base acclaim that I would have expected. It's a very nice product, but it actually has a relatively specific audience and a fairly specific appeal, frankly, based on one feature, which is the controller itself. And the rest of the product is actually not a great product -- no disrespect, but … the video graphics on it aren't very strong; the box itself is kind of underpowered; it doesn't play DVDs; there are a lot of down-line components [that] aren't actually that interesting.
So the challenge for us is how do we drive to more casual users, and how do we bring more casual experiences to Xbox and Windows? And the challenge for them is figuring out, "Hey, how do I broaden beyond a casual demographic?" We'll see how that plays out.
See, that's a complete misunderstanding (or misstatement) of where Nintendo is at - they aren't really trying to go after the crowd that wants to play Halo, or Gears of War. They recognized that the market for casual games (at an affordable price) is much, much larger than the one for "hard core" games. They don't need to broaden their audience; they just did that by offering better game play. I think Nintendo is quite happy to let MS and Sony duke it out in the "we lose money on each sale of expensive hard core systems" space. While they do that, Nintendo just quietly cashes checks.

Matthew Ingram finds another nail in the coffin for newspapers: Facebook is launching classified ads:
It's clear to me, as it is to Scott, that one of the things that makes Facebook so powerful as a competitor in this particular space is the social aspect it brings. Does anyone feel like they have really connected with someone through their newspaper classifieds? Unlikely. But Facebook and other social networks -- including craigslist -- are more like the bulletin board at the local campus centre, multiplied by a million. That is a powerful force.
What's absolutely killing newspapers is the loss of income from the classifieds. That used to be a gold mine, and it allowed them to become lazy in other areas (see yesterday's post, for instance). Now their private gold mine has been hauled off, and they have absolutely no idea what to do. Their various money-saving schemes range from the stupid to the insane, and then they go and blame Google. As if a search engine that lets me find a news source is a problem.
The upshot of this is, an awful lot of newspapers are going to disappear over the next few years, as team after team of executives fail to understand (and cope with) the problem: witness the Minneapolis Star Tribune, deciding to put a talented columnist on the news beat, for instance. Will they retain Lileks? I seriously doubt it, and that loss is going to hurt them. Smaller (and larger) versions of that are going to be played out in newsrooms across the country, and it will be painful to watch.

Andre Schnoor (who spoke at the User's Conference last year), has pushed out a new Look Policy for Cincom Smalltalk. I copied this from the vwnc mailing list:
This package implements the Look & Feel "Chimera". Chimera was designed to provide a platform-neutral, minimalistic look, inspired by Swing and AWT. The idea behind Chimera was to provide a consistent design on all operating systems (Windows and OSX currently). The emulated native looks are instantly recognized as being not the "real thing" - so why pretend? A slick custom design has proven to be a viable solution for many applications that can not deal with native widgets for whatever reason.
Chimera comes with some performance optimizations under the hood, most notably faster and smoother window updates, especially for tab controls and resizing splitters. It was tested for VisualWorks 7.4.1. Chimera has no prerequisites and integrates with the VisualWorks L&F framework. After loading the package, go to the VisualWorks settings panel and select "Chimera Windows XP" for Windows and "Chimera MacOS X" for a Mac. Although both versions run on either platform, font sizes and menus look best on the designated machines.
I pushed a copy up to the public store - just load the package CGN Chimera Look. Here's BottomFeeder running under the Chimera XP Look (click for a larger image):

I hadn't thought that newspapers could get dumber, but hey - I was wrong:
"We seek a newspaper journalist based in India to report on the city government and political scene of Pasadena, California, USA."
James Macpherson, editor and publisher of the two-year-old Web site pasadenanow.com, acknowledged it sounds strange to have journalists in India cover news in this wealthy city just outside Los Angeles.
But he said it can be done from afar now that weekly Pasadena City Council meetings can be watched over the Internet. And he said the idea makes business sense because of India's lower labor costs.
Local news outlets have exactly one area in which they can add value: local news. Turning that into a copy/paste exercise with remote staffers just makes the local news into the same kind of dull sameness you see in wire service copy/pastage - no value add, no reason to read it at all.
If a local news source wants readers, it's going to have to do local news coverage. This is what you call "penny wise and pound foolish".

I thought it was pretty stupid of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to move humorist James Lileks from column work to beat reporting, but Mike Malone captures the real problem:
One of the reasons for this intense reaction is that for most of us in the rest of the world, the only thing we know about Minneapolis these days, and certainly about the Star-Tribune, is what we read in Lileks.com. In other words, James Lileks is far bigger than the newspaper that employs him, is its single most effective bastion against falling subscription revenues, and is its most powerful marketing and promotion tool.
That's the reality, and I have to wonder if the owners of the paper get that: their brand is now less valuable than the Lileks brand. They could have worked with him; my guess is that they'll be working without him soon. Like buggy whip peddlers in 1925, they don't seem to have any idea what that noise in the distance means...

This talk mentioned in the Product Management View - Product Management in an Agile Environment - is a talk I wish I could attend, but Toronto is a bit out of the way for me, especially in the middle of the week. Sounds like something I'd enjoy.
Looks like the lawyers and the media are starting to figure out that they've (the lawyers) received an involuntary promotion into PR. It's really too bad that lawyers suck at PR:
Some of Hollywood's more aggressive lawyers are learning a painful lesson: The Web doesn't have a delete key.
That lesson was especially humiliating for them last week, when a key that could unlock copyright protections on some high-definition movie discs became Topic A on the Web -- precisely because a movie industry trade group tried to squelch any mention of it.
The day when a threatening letter from a lawyer was enough is on its way out - in the meantime, it looks like an awful lot of companies are going to find out that the legal department is not a place where positive PR happens.
SciFi Wire reports that a new Terminator flick - possibly the start of a new trilogy - is on the boards. If they stay with the idea of showing us the post-SkyNet future, that could work. I just hope they don't get all Lucas-esque on us, and get high on their own fame and deliver the equivalent of the last three Star Wars flicks (utter dreck), or - gosh forbid - the hash that was the last Matrix movie.

On today's Smalltalk Daily, we continue our look at Cairo Graphics - specifically, drawing shapes like rectangles and circles.
Adtech is reporting that click through rates for banner ads are dropping:
ADTECH, global providers of ad server technology has today revealed the results of its latest browser analysis and has revealed that just two out of a thousand viewed banners trigger a reaction from European Internet users. The current click-through rate of 0.18 per cent is the lowest since ADTECH started banner analyses in 2004. Then, the average was 0.33 per cent.
This isn't a huge surprise - I can't recall (other than by accident) the last time I so much as looked at a banner ad, much less clicked through one. The entire model is shifting to things like Google's AdSense, which tries to push up ads that you might actually be interested in (although even there, I wouldn't be surprised if click through rates are low and dropping).
What advertisers really need is "just in time information" - an ad for a product at the point that I'm looking for to buy something. AdSense delivers some of that - but the thinking in some parts of the industry is still reflective of the TV "broadcast model":
Freytag continued: "The decreasing numbers overall in my opinion are due to the fact that the users have increasingly gotten used to online advertising during the last years. Banners are now commonplace on the Internet. New formats, such as video ads are needed to draw attention and generate clicks. Layer and Leaderboards in contrast have a high reminder potential even beyond the Web."
That's the kind of thinking that leads to those cover up Flash ads (is there anything more annoying on the web right now?). I think there's going to be a lot more suffering in this sector before the old-line advertising bromides die off.

I found these phenomenal paintings while perusing through the mass that is Etsy, and was immediately blown away. I've never seen a serious and classically trained painter take on Zombies, and no one does more justice to the hunger in their eyes and sores on their flesh than Bill Killen.
Being mostly influenced by classical renaissance and 17th century Flemish painters, he never thought to do Zombies until he got a request from a friend, after that, the virus spread and Bill Killen was painting Zombies until he created a Horde.
His Etsy shop, The Zombie Horde, is full of prints and original paintings of the beautiful, terrifying, precious and nightmarish, all perfect for any Zombie lover's house. The prices on prints and originals are all very very reasonable, and he even does special requests.
If you've ever wanted to see The Walking Dead Zombies just a little bit longer, get to know them, maybe tease them through a fence for a while and study their actions, the paintings of Bill Killen are for you.

Ball State's commitment to superior, interdisciplinary research is easily seen in the quality and prominence of the university's 60 centers, institutes, clinics, bureaus, and other research and outreach units. Within each of these campus entities, Ball State faculty and staff are individually dedicated to their work while collectively raising the research profile and bringing national recognition to the entire university community.
The Sponsored Programs Office has designated 17 of these centers and institutes as Knowledge Units, recognizing their long-term research, their efforts to secure external funding, and the institution's investment in their operations. These hubs of knowledge are founded on the principle that all creative, design, research, scholarly, and other forms of disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary work exist and are promoted across campus and beyond.
To honor their work, the Sponsored Programs Office has focused the spring issue of Ball State Research on one of these centers, the Global Health Institute (GHI) and how they are Taking Health to a Global Level.
Established in 2009, the Global Heath Institute encourages interdisciplinary investigation of critical issues that are impacting local and global health. Since late 2011, GHI has produced six Burden of Disease reports that focus on the major health issues impacting adults in Indiana.
Read more about the Global Health Institute, the Burden of Disease reports, the faculty, and the university's interdisciplinary approach in this spring update of Ball State Research.
The efforts featured in this issue have an impact close to campus and as far away as the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Check out the community service efforts of our Creative Endeavor Awardee, who also guided the development of a nationally acclaimed new musical. Realize the far-reaching impact of purpose in the lives of rural youth.

Centers like this provide the opportunity to speak face to face with someone about their specific situation. Ulster County is one of the many disaster areas declared by FEMA after many homes and businesses were destroyed by Sandy.
The Disaster Recovery Center will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. through Friday.
If you aren't able to make it to the center, you can still apply online at disasterassistance.gov, or by calling FEMA at (800) 621-3362.
