The AP's be-evil policy
Zach Seward got himself a great scoop when he procured a confidential AP memo which takes a very aggressive stance about protecting the company's intellectual property. Here's how the memo begins:
The evidence is everywhere: original news content is being scraped, syndicated and monetized without fair compensation to those who produce, report and verify it. AP's legal division continues to document rampant unauthorized use of AP content on literally tens of thousands of Web sites. The problem is quickly spreading to mobile, where new applications are cropping up daily that do little more than repackage the efforts of AP and others, siphoning off consumers and revenue from those whose content is being exploited.
It continues by talking about "the urgent need to regain control", adding that "it is difficult to overstate the importance of taking action at this moment… AP has both business and legal imperatives to assert its intellectual rights".
This is all pretty unambiguous stuff. But Seward seems to be backpedalling desperately from the obvious conclusions, after one conversation with the AP's general counsel, Srinandan Kasi.
Kasi said that the AP thought Andy Baio's Associated Repress site was "wonderful". He said that a hypothetical blogger copy-and-pasting an entire news article would probably be "perfectly fine". He even, pace those "new applications cropping up daily" in the mobile space, said this:
A mobile developer who wanted to include the AP's articles or videos in an iPhone application could do so, probably without paying for access. Addressing the hypothetical developer, he said, "If this becomes a runaway success, I want to be part of this kind of business arrangement with you. In the meantime, if you want to experiment, go at it."
The impression that Kasi gives, via Seward, is that the AP is benign at heart:
When you look at the things that we've actually enforced or pursued, it's a small handful of situations. Even the ones where there's a lot of noise being made, it is to point out the kind of conduct, of systematic conduct that we want to have addressed. But if you really push it to the extreme of, 'OK, how many do we legally enforce in a court of law?' It'll be less than the number of fingers on a single hand.
This is really hard to square with the black letter of the memo, with its talk of the "legal imperatives" facing the AP. And in fact, if you examine it closely, it's much more invidious than it sounds.
Essentially, the AP is encouraging the rest of us to remix its work — on the understanding that, statistically speaking, most of us will fail. On the other hand, if we succeed — if we go viral, like Shepard Fairey, or start making non-trivial ad revenue, like Newser, then they'll come at us with expensive lawyers, and they won't be friendly. What's more, they feel that it's strategically necessary to be very aggressive in protecting their intellectual property in such situations.
This isn't a FUD campaign designed to make people wary of using AP content. It's worse than that: it's an attempt by the AP to outsource innovation to others, and then, in the handful of cases where the innovative gamble pays off, grasp substantially all the benefits of that innovation for themselves. Call it a "be evil" strategy. How else can you explain the Fairey lawsuit?

Hah, well, I'm not trying to backpedal so much as, hmm, find the spoke in AP's wheel? I don't know. Some other biking metaphor.
I think part of the disconnect — and you're absolutely right; there is one — can be explained by a legitimate crisis the AP is facing: member defections. The Columbus Dispatch, the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, the New York Daily News, and the entire Tribune Company have all given the required two-year notice of their plans to leave. Could just be a negotiating tactic on the part of those newspapers, but the AP has to find a way to keep them. So they've slashed rates a few times. And now, maybe, they're essentially saying: As a perk of membership, we're going to build this whole monitoring system and take a really hard line on copyright. Playing to the base, in other words. That was certainly the audience of that memo.
So anyway, I don't mean to suggest we should only listen to what Kasi said and not also consider the memo and statements by Tom Curley and Dean Singleton. They're all over the place. (And then there was that YouTube fiasco in April.) I'm just trying to throw some light on this.
To be a bit fairer to AP here, they are also just following a standard yield management principle for intellectual property enforcement: go where somebody is making some dough, so you can get a share.
An example from another business is Microsoft Office. Worldwide, millions of people pirate it, including a majority of consumers in the US. But Microsoft focuses enforcement on businesses, where the money is easy to collect, and on large scale pirates, where the impact is great. The rest of us, not so much.

text: Been working on a counter app for Steven Jackson's Munchkin series of card games. A key difference between my version and the others I've seen is its support for multiple players so you can keep track of who you want to give help, ask for help, or plan to hurt. I've "borrowed" some of their artwork for the prototype and am hoping to arrange for authorized use of it before the app is released. More to come.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter has attended Classical Charter School since Kindergarten and will be entering the fourth grade this fall (2014). She really thrives here! We both love the class-size, atmosphere, families, and most importantly the curriculum and those that teach it. Classical truly feels like a private school without the tremendous private school cost. Children are placed based on their individual skill level, but are always challenged. I know my daughter would be bored at a different public school because she is so far ahead of her cousins and friends that attend other schools in the Fox Valley area. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their child to exceed academically. We Are Classical!
The curriculum is excellent. The way it is taught is not. The teachers are so very committed to the school and involved..... but to a fault. They don't respect the boundaries of school life and family life and feel that their desires trump family priorities. They will use various means to coerce parents to doing what they want. Ultimately, you will end up homeschooling your kids after school hours... just remember,... it might be a charter, but it's really just another public school and it's the families that make it amazing.
My children were never challenged before they came to Classical School When they started attending Classical, they suddenly lit up with excitement about what they were learning. They received an excellent education at Classical School. The standardized test scores are sky high, showing that the other students at the school are also excelling.
My daughter loves this school. It is challenging and the teachers really care about the success of the students.
I love the curriculum at this school - it is challenging, enjoyable, and definitely fun to teach. E.D. Hirsch's concept of building an educated child step-by-step through Core Knowledge Schools is ingenious; the goal is to create children that are culturally literate (i.e., can understand newspapers, have background information to interpret things on TV, and best of all, can make educated decisions for themselves in the future based on the knowledge they acquire now.) The math used at the school is comprehensive and sequential. The students do very well with it. Learning Spanish, starting to read in Kindergarten, and diagramming sentences in grammar are all big draws. History topics have a world history and American history strand running simultaneously and cover fun topics like the Middle Ages, understanding religions and cultures, and Greek/Roman Mythology. I'd recommend this school or any Core Knowledge school to anyone.
My daughter loves this school, and I love this school. The teachers keep my daughter challenged and the curriculum is great. We feel so lucky to be involved with Classical Charter School.
This is a great school with both wonderful students and faculty. My daughter loves going to school. The academics are high (she is studying things I had in high school and college). The average student is brought higher and the talented student soars. The 8th graders even go to Costa Rica for a week after graduation.
Classical school has been a wonderful experience for my son. A ton of parental involvement is expected, and there is a lot of homework, however, as a parent, you could not ask for a better environment in which to learn and grow. Spanish in Kindergarten, poetry, reading, math and science, all presented in a manner in which the students can grasp and excel. Mastery of each subject is expected. High expectations by both parents and teachers-a concept gone by the wayside in the modern public schools. I am pleased and excited that my child has the opportunity to attend this wonderful school.
Challenges students to work to their abilities. Students are moved up or down in each specific subject area according to their abilities. Average or accelerated students appears to be best fit. A number of parents appear to complain about amount of homework for less than average student as work is required to be completed either in class, study hall or at home. Another downside is skipping grade levels in subject manner. Had to tutor to make up for the missed concepts and understanding when students is moved forward in math. Class size is 26-27 students and have a long waiting list so apply early. It is worth the drive.

FemTechNet Hopes to Revolutionize SA's Higher Education Possibilities
Published: September 18, 2013
Where to get such continuing education locally? Alamo Colleges and Our Lady of the Lake offer a bevy of variously priced courses and workshops geared toward professional skill development. Northside and North East ISDs also offer some skill and hobby-based education classes for fees ranging from $20 to more than $200. UTSA houses an extended studies program that allows non-students to register and attend undergraduate courses on a "space available" condition, but each course could cost as much as $400, excluding transportation and books, a expensive proposition if not working toward degree credit.
Even current college students may want to avail themselves of the local FemTechNet Taller, because if they're interested in women's studies, they have few options locally. UTSA just unveiled their women's studies program for undergraduates in Fall 2012, offering an admittedly drool-worthy slate of feminist theory courses (Feminism and Globalization—yes, please!). Trinity offers only a minor with some fairly unspecific classes, other than the four core courses. Alamo Colleges provides a certificate in women's studies, in which the only class specifically mentioning females in the title is "Women's Literature."
Locally, the FemTechNet Taller is something of an oasis, then, and the early interest seems to back it up. Boyer and Varela do not as of yet know how many plan to attend their Taller, but their local Facebook page has 168 "likes" and counting. Among the formal courses, FTN classes have attracted more than 300 participants so far.
I asked Juhasz what she hopes participants take away from the experience at the end of the course. In an answer I should have seen coming, she responded, "There's no one takeaway, there's 100 possible takeaways." She kindly went on to specify anyway, "But on that list for me, it's thinking on a meta-level about online education because that's a huge issue." Juhasz continued "I want [participants] to understand a sophisticated conversation among feminist thinkers and artists and I want them to feel that they are now in this conversation … and understand themselves as makers of culture. Not just receiving the knowledge, [but to] leave feeling empowered as people who make this conversation."
While the content itself is indeed needed, and will hopefully achieve Juhasz' and FTN's goals of sparking advanced discussion, documentation and participation of and by women in technology, in a way the practice, the DOCC, is already a major success. The DOCC has applications well beyond feminist theory courses, in fact, it's hard to think of a topic that the DOCC's participatory structure wouldn't be suited to, and it could be the answer to the question The New York Times posed last November about being massive and intimate at once. It was also the brainchild of two women, and is infused with feminist theory, two things that can't be ignored should the DOCC take off as a viable alternative education model. Sounds like one hell of a "beautiful digital object" to me.

Cape VerdeClimate Location Culture History Why Invest?
Cape Verde is one of the hottest property locations in the world, with land values rising rapidly due to the booming tourism industry.
In fact, the number of tourists visiting the islands has risen by 107% over the past five years and is expected to top 1,000,000 by 2015. The Expedia travel website recently voted Cape Verde one of the top ten holiday destinations in the world, thanks to its wonderful climate, incredible beaches and welcoming culture.
All of which makes a Cape Verde investment the perfect opportunity for capital growth, rental income or resale.
The story of Cape Verde begins in 1456, when Portuguese seafarers discovered the islands and founded Ribeira Grande, the first European town in the tropics.
Cape Verde, and in particular Sal Island, became popular with the advent of the ocean liner. The island's location made it the perfect stop-over for the transportation of coal, water and livestock. And when the aeroplane replaced the ocean liner, Cape Verde opened an international airport on Sal in 1948.
Independence from Portugal came in 1975 and today Cape Verde enjoys a very stable political structure with a growing economy. The government is encouraging tourists to visit the islands, and is preserving their unique character with strict guidelines on development.
Cape Verdean culture is a true mix of European and African. In fact, the 400 years of Portuguese influence can still be found in architecture, lifestyle and the arts, combined with elements of African culture in the music, literature and arts.
The Cape Verde coast is rich with fish and seafood, so these make up a large part of the islands' cuisine. Especially popular are tuna, swordfish, moray eel, cuttlefish, mussels and shrimp.
Beer, wine and local spirits are widely available including the famous grogue, a local sugar cane liquor often drunk with honey. There are also some excellent red and white wines being produced on the islands.
Nestling in the Atlantic Ocean some 450 kilometres off the west coast of Africa and one hour south of the Canary Islands, Cape Verde consists of ten islands and five islets.
Boasting some of the best beaches in the world, it is the nearest group of tropical islands to the UK. In fact, Cape Verde is on the same latitude as Barbados but three hours closer with direct flights from the UK taking just 5½ hours, which means no jet lag.
The beautiful islands of Cape Verde have been described as the 'Caribbean for Europe'. They enjoy the same dry, tropical climate yet are so much closer for European tourists to visit.
As well as the tropical sunshine, Cape Verde enjoys a cooling breeze that drifts around the islands and keeps temperatures to a pleasant 22° to 30° all year round.
Cape Verde has no low season and no hurricanes, and holiday-makers enjoy almost endless year-round sunshine, perfect for lazy days by the pool or on the pure white sand beaches.

Ask a Professional Comedian: Baron Vaughn
Anonymous asked you:
Lifes a meal. Be ready to eat. What's your biggest comedic influence.
Don't know that I have one biggest influence. I'd say equal parts Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby. Steve Martin. Robert Townsend. Ridiculous amounts of SNL.
these-lungs-are-black asked you:
how do you deal with racial stereotype @ baron
I play against them. I accept them as things some people believe and I try to enlighten them by providing more perspective on the subject. Most of the time it comes out as saying "You're a stupid doo doo head!"
publicbathroomgraffiti asked you:
Baron, How far away does a computer/paper/phone have to be before you will convince yourself that the joke you thought of isn't really that funny?
Writing it down means nothing at first. You can only determine that by trying it on stage. I write down everything I think is funny. Some stuff works right away. Some take time for me to figure it out. Some things just don't work no matter how many different ways I say it. I'll usually abandon something if I've tried it 5 times. I put it to pasture.
psychedelianoir asked you:
Hey Baron Vaughn what did you think about Man Of Steel? and also is God dead
Didn't see Man of Steel yet. Too busy TELLING JOKES TO AMERICA. I'll just tell you how I felt about Superman 4: The Quest for Peace instead…uh…ahem…it was fucking weird.
God isn't dead; just retired.

Thanks for the very thorough explanation of the attacks on the
LanMan hash (and associated challenge/response protocol).
Actually, there are even slightly stronger attacks out there,
waiting for someone to implement.
Observation 1: Even though the challenge varies, you can use a
pre-computed dictionary to recover the last 7 characters of the
password from the LanMan challenge/response more efficiently.
Observation 2: >7 byte passwords are likely to be even less
secure than <8 byte passwords. You learn the last 7 bytes quickly,
and then use them to extend backwards to learn the first 7 bytes.
(If the last 7 bytes of the password are "achable", then the
password is probably "inapproachable".)
More details:
You can recover the last two bytes of the 16-byte password hash
trivially from the LanMan challenge/response pair. So if you've
pre-computed a bunch of possible password hashes, you can eliminate
all but 1/2^16 of the wrong ones; then another 2^8 work for each
remaining possibility (guessing the 8th byte of the 16-byte password
hash) lets you verify correctness. If you've got N pre-computed
password hashes (which requires N work up front), then N/2^8 DES
computations gives you the last 7 bytes of the password (assuming
that the password is in your wordlist).
This can be optimized even further, by noting that you can greatly
reduce the number of possibilities for the second 7-byte half of
the password. The LanMan challenge/response protocol lets you
isolate the last 7 bytes of the password and do a dictionary
search on them alone. But most people use passwords derived
from dictionary words, and that greatly reduces the number of
possibilities for the second 7-byte half. My small wordlist has
45000 words, but only 3000 unique 7-byte suffixes; this is a savings
of a factor of 15.
Now you can use the last half of the password to narrow down the
number of possibilities for the first half. Also, you can apply
a similar precomputation trick to the first half as well.
A technical analysis I did over a year ago, listing these concerns
in more cryptographic detail, can be found at

Access "New demands, new opportunities"
This article is part of the Vol. 4 No. 11 January 2006 issue of Boosting data storage array performance
New demands, new opportunities This is my first turn at filling this space. Over the past couple of years, I've managed to pound out enough prose to fill a number of pages in other parts of Storage, but in my new role I have some pretty big shoes to fill delivering a monthly editorial. For me, a new job means new opportunities, along with the challenge of providing commentary here that meets the standards established by my predecessor. But I'm just another face in the crowd when it comes to dealing with change. In one of the fastest developing technology domains IT has ever seen, storage professionals are grappling daily with ever-evolving roles and responsibilities. Maturing storage environments, coupled with data stores that have grown beyond all reasonable expectations, are redefining responsibilities. Tossed into the mix are other forces, such as regulations that dictate data-handling practices; and while the cost of buying storage continues to drop steadily, the cost of owning that storage is soaring. All of that adds up to a nearly constant change and ... Access >>>

Like many people who meet Pope Francis I, a region priest says he was struck by the pontiff's humanity when the two met last month in Rome.
For the Rev. Joseph Vamos, of Winfield, it was the opportunity of a lifetime when he received a private audience with Pope Francis while visiting the Vatican in May.
A face-to-face meeting with the pope wasn't in the plan when Vamos planned a trip to visit a fellow priest in Rome. But that friend secured an invitation for a private audience, which put Vamos in line to exchange a handshake and pleasantries with Pope Francis.
"I ended up in the front row of the gathering, and he greeted me personally," said Vamos, a longtime region priest and chaplain for some region police and fire departments.
"I told him people in America love him — that Catholics and people who are not Catholics love him," Vamos said.
Since his coronation earlier this year, Pope Francis I has galvanized his name as a pontiff of the common people, placing an emphasis on poor relief and choosing the more humble lodgings of the Vatican guest house over the ornate Apostolic Palace.
"He is so down to Earth," Vamos said. "He wears these old black shoes and dresses more plainly than past popes. He's truly a people person."
While in Rome, Vamos also was able to help deliver Communion to the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square on Pentecost Sunday.
But the highlight was meeting the pope, who Vamos said took his time and listened intently.
And the highlight of the meeting itself?
"I gave him a Starlight Mint — a piece of candy," Vamos said. "I told him what it was, and he smiled and put it in his pocket."

Enhance is a product by Cathay Pacific that gives you the opportunity to bid for the next higher cabin class. It is available for booking made after 12 May 2014 with departure period between 20 June and 12 November 2014.
Cathay Pacific is offering Enhance on certain routes as a trial run. They are Cebu, New York (Newark), London, Moscow, Paris, Perth, Seoul, Surabaya and Toronto. Routes are subject to change without prior notice.
Enhance is currently only available with tickets purchased in Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, France, the UK, Moscow, the US and Canada.
During the trial period, only selected flights on the routes mentioned above are eligible for Enhance. You can check your eligibility by entering your booking reference number together with your family name on the Enhance Welcome Page at cathaypacific.com/enhance
You can verify your eligibility by providing your family name and booking reference at cathaypacific.com/enhance. Alternatively, we will send an email to all eligible passengers who have subscribed to CXpecials in English or Traditional Chinese languages of certain countries (subscribe now!) and invite them to make an offer 7 days prior to departure of the first sector of the booking.
Unfortunately, only bookings made via the Cathay Pacific Airways and Dragonair websites and our local Reservations and Ticketing Offices (Cathay Pacific Airways Global Contact Centres, The Marco Polo Club Service Centre) are currently eligible to make upgrade offers.
Not all flights are eligible for upgrades. You can check your eligibility by entering your booking reference number together with your family name on the Enhance Welcome Page. For instance, if you are travelling on a round-trip ticket from Hong Kong to Perth in Economy Class and you receive an email that states that the Perth-to-Hong Kong flight is eligible for an upgrade, this indicates that only one sector (Perth to Hong Kong) of your entire journey is currently eligible for an upgrade.
Flight sectors are considered independent of one another. If you wish to upgrade a journey with multiple sectors, you must make a separate, single offer to upgrade each sector individually.
For example: If you are travelling from Seoul to Perth via Hong Kong, you can make an offer for the Seoul-to-Hong Kong sector, and another offer for the Hong Kong-to-Perth sector.
If you do not want to upgrade any of your sectors, simply move the offer slider to the far left to indicate "No Offer" for that sector.
There are several different factors that may restrict your eligibility to make an offer to upgrade, including:
Yes, as long as the child is not on an infant fare and the offer amount for the child is the same as the offer amount for the adult in the same booking.
Enhance upgrades can only be applied once to the next higher class. Upgrades to Business Class are only available for Premium Economy Class passengers. However, for aircraft or routes without Premium Economy Class, you would be invited to upgrade from Economy Class to Business Class.
Asia Miles redemption bookings are not eligible for upgrades via Enhance.
There may be two reasons that your friend did not receive an email invitation:
There is only one invitation email to send out within the same booking reference even there is more than one passenger under the same booking. However you can enter the booking reference number together with you family name on the Enhance Welcome Page.
Successful upgrades are non-transferable, non-refundable, and are valid only on the flight and date shown.

TMZ has learned ... Kris Humphries just filed for an annulment against Kim Kardashian, on grounds Kim defrauded him into marrying her.
Sources close to Kris tell TMZ ... Kris was not in on the alleged fraud, meaning he did not stage the marriage for Kim's reality show. We're told Kris wanted this to be a genuine marriage, but Kim was never really on board.
Kim has already filed for divorce -- but according to the docs, obtained by TMZ -- Kris wants Kim to pay his attorney's fees.
We broke the story the couple has a prenup, but according to the documents Kris claims there are "community and quasi-community assets." Sources connected with Kim claim there's no community property.
The short story here -- there's going to be a fight, because Kris thinks Kim did him in.
Go away little boy My God I couldn't believe how immature you are until I saw the show last night WOW..she must have been nuts to marry you.
he's an idiot! im sure hes just saying this to make her look bad and make himself look innocent...he knew what was up! even though I think he has an iq of 80
TEAM KRIS H. ALL THE WAY!!! She did do you in, she is a fraud and no man will touch her now with a ten foot pole. She made a mockery of marriage, she showed her true colors and people hate her for it. She really has no fans, and people only watched that stupid show to see what kind of a B__t__ch she really can be! Trust me, you will prevail with a normal woman Kris, she will forever be married to fame and her pimp mom.
"Kim's a fraud" - thank you Dr. Obvious
You go Kris! Looks like he has a good attorney.
And NBA starts Christmas day...yeahhhhh!
YAY KRIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Take her and the entire K clan DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nail her to the wall Kris--she used you like a prop and never gave you the respect you deserved. Enough with the "Oh my diamond earring" "Oh my pedicure" She accused you of playing rough--prove her right and move on to a real woman instead of a plastic bi*** famous for her ass in more ways than one. Think about this: If every "one" that went into her came out she'd look like a porcupine with psoriasis--thank your lucky stars you got out. Best of Luck!
Kim IS toxic and a FRAUD! Too bad Kris wasn't clever enough to realize before the sham made-for-tv relationship.
Yay! It's about time this man woke up!!!
I still think you should sew her for fraud though! Even if you donate the money to charity. She is nothing but a low class piece of human s***b!
Good! I hope Kris Humphries exposes her and her family. It does seem like they exploited and used him for the wedding on TV, for ratings, now using him in Kourtney and Kim NY airings and purposely trying to make him look bad. I hope he gets the annulment and his legal fees covered and any assets that are joint, returned to him .......................(WEDDING GIFTS could probably and legally be considered community assets, knowing her greedy family they kept all the wedding gifts for themselves and Kris probably has not seen a one of them.)
Good for him, stand up to that fame whore.
I feel genuinely sorry for the big galoot!
Kim just looks for the penis that will get her the most exposure and then sits on it.
Good for him, I think he was truly in love with her and she was truly in love with the attention, as always. She messed with his heart, not cool.

Today we launched "No Such Thing As A Free Lunch?", a new Facebook campaign for Pret A Manger to help build their social following and disprove the age old myth.
The campaign is a 2 week competition where new and existing Pret Facebook fans are asked to select their favourite items from the Pret menu to be in with a chance of winning a Pret gift card and claiming their free lunch.
Hal Stokes, Social Media Director, said:
"It is too often forgotten that social media is at the core of the consumer's relationship with a brand. It is vital that brands are consistent with their social communication, and that their campaigns connect to the relevant audience. For Pret we ensured their Facebook centred on the valuable relationship between Pret and their customers, providing the customer with daily opportunities to connect with the brand."
Give it a go and see if you can win yourself a tasty free lunch!

When it was announced that the New York Jets acquired running back, Chris Ivory, from the New Orleans Saints for a fourth round pick, it was a sign of good things to come — the Jets needed a running back with big play-making abilities, and with the departure of Shonn Greene, Ivory would provide just that.
With Ivory, the Jets were getting a fast, strong, and agile back. Ivory proved he is a capable running back that can make the big plays. For unknown reasons, Ivory did not see playing time until later in the 2012 season, buried in the New Orleans roster. But when he did play, the fourth-year running back's numbers jump out of the page, with 40 carries (his longest a 56-yard run) for 217 yards and two touchdowns in 2012. What is also noticeable is his 5.4 yards per carry that it equates to. In three years, Ivory has played 24 games with 10 starts, carrying the ball 256 times for 1,307 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns.
The Jets haven't seen that type of production from Ivory yet, but it may be due to his role on the offense. And the running back isn't too happy about it, and he aired his displeasure in an interview on Monday.
"Honestly, I feel like it's been a little conservative. Hopefully we get some things going. But it hasn't been as many carries as I thought."
When he joined the Jets, the coaches told Ivory he would be used as the short-yardage back, yet he hasn't seen the ball in short-yardage situations recently. In five games, Ivory has rushed 34 times for 115 yards (3.4 yards per carry); nothing like the numbers he posted as a Saint.
Ivory was brought in to be the Jets' featured back, but a combination of his injuries, and his dip in production has left the Jets not fully trusting the running back with a bigger workload. For now, Ivory says he's fine, but that won't last for long if Bilal Powell continues to get the majority of the carries.
"I'm happy, I'm fine. I say that because we have a lot of ball left. But if it's close to the end of the season and it's still the same, I can say I wouldn't be too happy," said the back.
Ivory is right, there is a lot of ball left to play, but he has to earn that contract he signed ($6 million for three years) and show the coaches he deserves a bigger workload.

Michael Connor writes:
seemingly impossible music can be found today in a group of musicians who use MIDI files (which store musical notes and timings, not unlike player piano rolls) to create compositions that feature staggering numbers of notes. They're calling this kind of music "black MIDI," which basically means that when you look at the music in the form of standard notation, it looks like almost solid black:
Blackers take these MIDI files and run them through software such as Synesthesia, which is kind of an educational version of Guitar Hero for the piano, and bills itself as "piano for everyone." It's kind of brilliant to imagine a novice piano player looking for some online tutorials and stumbling across, say, this video of the song Bad Apple, which reportedly includes 8.49 million separate notes.

Back in the 60s, before synthesizers were commercially available, the BBC Radiophonic workshop was creating electronic music and sound effects for shows like Doctor Who. The BBC has now published a set of web-based simulations of some of this equipment, using just the Web Audio API of HTML5. The code and explanations are included.

I have a guest post up today at Boing Boing on a subject I think will interest Technoccult readers:
You don't play the ANS synthesizer with a keyboard. Instead you etch images onto glass sheets covered in black putty and feed them into a machine that shines light through the etchings, trigging a wide range of tones. Etchings made low on the sheets make low tones. High etchings make high tones. The sound is generated in real-time and the tempo depends on how fast you insert the sheets.
This isn't a new Dorkbot or Maker Faire oddity. It's a nearly forgotten Russian synthesizer designed by Evgeny Murzin in 1938. The synth was named after and dedicated to the Russian experimental composer and occultist Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (1872–1915). The name might not mean much to you, but it illuminates a long running connection between electronic music and the occult.
You can find traces of the occult throughout the history of electronic music. The occult obsessed Italian Futurist Luigi Russolo built his own mechanical instruments around 1917. The famous Moog synthesizer made an early appearance in Mick Jagger's soundtrack to Kenneth Anger's occult film Invocation of My Demon Brother in 1969. And in the late 1970s Throbbing Gristle built their own electronic instruments for their occult sound experiments, setting the stage for many of the occult themed industrial bands who followed. The witch house genre keeps this tradition alive today.
It's little the surprise otherworldly sounds and limitless possibilities of synthesizers and samplers would evoke the luminous. But there's more to the connection. The aim of the alchemist is not just the literal synthesis of chemicals, but also synthesis in the Hegelian sense: the combination of ideas. Solve et Coagula. From the Hermetic magi of antiquity, to Aleister Crowley's OTO to modern chaos magicians, western occultists have sought to combine traditions and customs into a single universal system of thought and practice.
Electronic music grew from similar intellectual ground, and it all started with Scriabin.

Theremin saw little of the $100,000 he was paid, Glinsky says, which most likely went straight into Soviet coffers. But he stayed in the US for a while working on other projects, and engaging in industrial espionage.
"His very reason for being sent over was his espionage mission," says Glinsky. Demonstrating the theremin instrument was just a distraction, a Trojan Horse, as it were.
"He had special access to firms like RCA, GE, Westinghouse, aviation companies and so on, and shared his latest technical know how with representatives from these companies to get them to open up to him about their latest discoveries. […]
Later that year he returned suddenly to the Soviet Union, leaving his wife behind. Some people suggested he'd been kidnapped by Soviet officials, but Glinsky says a combination of debt and homesickness led to Theremin returning voluntarily.
He returned to a Soviet Union in the grip of Stalin's purges. He was arrested and falsely accused of being a counter-revolutionary, for which he received an eight year sentence in 1939.

One of my favorite spots in Seattle - Polygraphic, the experimental electronic night at Thee Aurafice Coffee Bar - has a write-up in the Seattle Times.
I shouldn't be telling you about Polygraphic. Honestly. You see, to publicize this splendid weekly happening also violates one of those unspoken rules among ink-stained newspaper curmudgeons: Write about things we would be irresponsible to ignore, but keep the really great gems to yourself. I probably shouldn't have revealed that either.
Will this ruin the scene? I doubt it, though it's crowded already. Oh well, I rarely go anyway, it's quite a commute to make on a Tuesday night.

I MUST learn to sew! Prices for pillows are ridiculous, and they can't be that hard to make.
No, Jooly, they aren't hard to make. They are just squares. I suck at sewing and even I can do squares. (Blankets, pillowcases, pillows, etc) If you have a sewing machine and can learn to thread it, that's basically the hardest part.
I'm with Jooly...I too need to learn how to sew. Guess its time to check out Craigslist for a cheap working sewing machine.
Really like the paisley! But damn, those are a bit pricey...
