The NFL Hall of Fame voting committee met for a record amount of time on Saturday in selecting the members of the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class, and apparently, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Derrick Brooks has been selected.
Thought of tonight is JOY, HUMILITY, and gratefulness, I'm in the Hall of Fame Now
— Derrick Brooks (@DBrooks55) February 1, 2014
Brooks is the first official name that we know of in this class, and he'll now join his former Tampa Bay defensive teammate, Warren Sapp, who was a member of the 2013 class.
After a standout career for the Florida State Seminoles, Brooks was selected 28th overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played a crucial part, along with Sapp and a few others, of changing the perception of the long-suffering franchise under both Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden.
It was all capped off with a Super Bowl victory over the Oakland Raiders following the 2002 season.
For his career, Brooks notched over 1,700 tackles, 13.5 sacks, and 25 interceptions with seven of them returned for scores.

The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips.
― (via thingsaboutnothingandeverything)
It's simple to have sex. People do it regularly. In cars, in apartments, back alleys, drunk, sober, high, it's easy to just take your clothes off and have sex with the person standing next to you. Making love however, is more than that. It's opening yourself up to someone. It's standing in front of them, as they peel away all your layers and you're asking them if they'll have you and keep you safe. Think of yourself as an envelope, you're sealed most the time, so whose important enough to read the letter inside? Because that letter is full of your thoughts, fears and dreams. That's what being naked really is. That's what it feels like to be exposed. Don't just give that away. Wait for the person whose going to read that letter, and never want to stop reading it.

"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"I needed these invitations asap and they came so fast I couldn't believe it. I love the design and the quality. Everyone loved it. It made her first birthday invitation special. I can't wait to put this in her scrapbook."
"I have ordered this card twice for both of my girls first birthdays. Excellent way to showcase their growth over a year."
"I used this design for my daughter's first birthday party and everyone loved it!! I really like how the design allows you to add multiple photos and change the text. I had my invitations sent directly to the guests and they were all mailed quickly. My only minor complaint is that I used professional high quality photos but still found the print quality to be a little grainy (which is not surprising since it is printed on top of pink paper, not white). I would have also liked to have seen additionals options for glossy printing and heavier card stocks. FYI - This product includes 5 additional copies that will be sent to your home address. This was not obvious in the product description so I added myself & my husband as recipients to make sure we had extras. In the end, we had plenty!"
"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."

In a recent Seattle Times interview, Carney opened up about U2's 'Songs of Innocence' marketing strategy.
The Black Keys' Patrick Carney -- along with his uncle -- wrote the opening credits music for 'BoJack Horseman.'
Normally, I interview bands that are of the Metal genre. Music that will make your ears and eyes bleed of awesome. I decided to step out of my 'comfort zone' and interviewed a musician that is not metal and more rock.
I chatted with Pat Carney of The Black Keys!
The Black Keys are making their way back here to Van Andel Arena!
We haven't seen them in Grand Rapids since 2012.
I interviewed The Black Keys' drummer, Patrick Carney, the other day.
Listen here to learn more about the upcoming tour, the new album, the band's upcoming Saturday appearance on "SNL" and more!
The Black Keys played a raw and energized set at Van Andel Arena in downtown Grand Rapids a week ago. I was lucky enough to sit down with drummer Patrick Carney for a one-on-one interview before the show.

Naval Ordnance Test Unit deploys Samsung surveillance solutions
Company's PTZ cameras, DVR help protect key military asset
The Naval Ordnance Test Unit (NOTU) at the Cape Canaveral, Florida, Air Force Station supports and tests sea-based weapons in a safe environment. The unit also operates the Navy Port at Port Canaveral, supporting submarines and surface ships of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet and of foreign navies, as well as the assets of the Military Sealift Command. The unit's location, which is surrounded by ocean on three sides, poses a challenge for electronic devices to operate dependably due to its corrosive, salt-water environment.
Video surveillance at the Naval Ordnance Test Unit previously consisted of an outdated system using four black-and-white pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, a PTZ controller and four black-and-white video displays tied to video cassette recorders (VCRs). The system needed to be updated, and new components had to withstand the corrosive environment.
NOTU turned to Millennium Communications of Melbourne, Florida, a Samsung Strategic Integrator, to design and install a new system. Founded by Angel Echevarria, Millennium Communications has a 10-year history of providing surveillance and two-way radio systems to commercial, hospitality, educational and federal facilities throughout Brevard County. Mr. Echevarria and Mark Soliman, President of Millennium Communications, designed the NOTU system and oversaw its installation.
Millennium designed NOTU's new system based on Samsung technology for its security and efficiency benefits. Due to the outdated black-and-white cameras, their overall goal was to improve the image clarity. Additionally, the Samsung solution provided automatic pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) tours and vastly improved video storage capacity.
Millennium opted not to use IP-based network cameras but decided instead on the proven capabilities of Samsung's analog technology, which fully met their needs. The new system includes four Samsung weather-resistant PTZ cameras, which capture high resolution images and are protected by integrated housings.
Samsung's PTZ line of cameras come equipped with features such as 128x wide dynamic range (WDR) and digital image stabilization with a 37x optical zoom lens, and auto-tracking capabilities. These cameras also incorporate Samsung's Super Noise Reduction to minimize random and fixed noise under low illumination in order to achieve excellent low light performance while reducing digital video recorder (DVR) storage space by as much as 70 percent.
"We knew that the the installation at the Naval Ordnance Test Unit required cameras that combined high performance with outstanding value," said Mr. Soliman. "The Samsung PTZ camera with its integrated housing fit the application well and provided a high-end product at a good mid-range price."
The cameras at NOTU provide video across fiber-optic cabling to a Samsung DVR/storage system. The Samsung DVR at the NOTU location provides high-resolution real-time recording capability. The DVR provides smart thumbnail and bookmark search capabilities, fast DVD backup (with a DVD writer included as a standard feature) and easy control with intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and mouse. It can also accommodate up to two internal SATA HDD disk drives.
The Naval Ordnance Test Unit system also uses a Samsung keyboard PTZ controller to provide system compatibility with multiple protocols. Its intuitive keypad, large LCD window and ergonomic design provide for easy operation. The system is monitored locally on base and uses fiber/RS-485 transmission to control the cameras.

Everything single part of a building has become significantly more energy efficient over the past 20 years, yet buildings are using the same amount of energy they always have. Why?
An MIT scientist has developed a quick and dirty way to harness solar power using "anything green, even grass clippings." So basically, solar panels made out of yard waste. This technology is way, way, way, way below the efficiency of commercial solar panels: It converts 0.1 percent of solar energy into power. Commercial solar panels clock in around 10 to 15 percent; the most advanced lab models are pushing even higher. But the simplicity of the design makes up for that shortcoming.
Someday we'll fix infrastructure and the environment in the same way that Arizona suburbanites fix their lawns: By slapping on a coat of paint.

You're all reading Young Avengers by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, right? Because Young Avengers is THE BEST. Along with Hawkeye and Daredevil it is the best thing that Marvel are putting out at the moment, and Marvel are on a bit of a hot streak right now. If you've read anything else by this team (and i'm pretty sure i have banged on about Phonogram before), or not, you should be reading this. Any comic that can reference Tumblr, sixties pop combos, Game of Thrones AND has a starring role for the norse god of mischief is deserving of your time.
I've had an itch to do some fan art bits and pieces for a minute or two, so here we have America Chavez in her stars and stripery (fourth of July and whatnot). I might do more of these (i have a sort of idea for a Loki), but now I should really get on with some work…
A sketch dump, I wanted to see how the other characters would look in punk AU. I don't know if they don't feel like the characters to you (I myself am not sure of Loki, Chavez and David).
I've used references from google. I just want to clarify that this AU's for fun.
I hope you like it!

One way to combat arthritis is to drink the recommend daily allowance of water. Have water when you are thirsty, and keep in mind that water is by far the absolute best beverage you can drink. You should avoid dehydrating liquids such as caffeine. Some people swear that hot wax provides relief from arthritis pain. The hot wax works to relax your muscles and decrease the inflammation and pain that are characteristic of arthritis. Similar to warm bath soaks, the heat caused by the wax goes completely around your toes and fingers for some relief. Studies have shown that cigarettes can reduce your flexibility, and make it more likely that you will have painful episodes of arthritis. You might find quitting tobacco is hard, but if you know that it can hurt your arthritis, you may be more likely to do just that. Don't stop moving! Living with arthritis can be quite challenging. You have to make sure you take care of your body and do things like get just enough rest for yourself. Resting gives you a break from stress and relieves pain. Create a healthy regimen that includes both resting and activity time throughout the day. Both are key to working through your arthritis and preventing your condition from worsening. Your doctor may prescribe any of a number of many popular arthritis medications. Take medications as directed to alleviate the pain. If you do not see any results with the medicine, talk to your doctor to see what other options you may have.
By putting these ideas into action and staying on track, many people with arthritis have become professional athletes. The most important thing may be to keep the physical effects from translating into mental and emotional pain. Certain things are made to help you manage the pain you suffer or fight it. Know that arthritis can be treated, so keep a positive attitude about it. Learning about arthritis is the best way to have an active say in the healing process. There are numerous resources available for arthritis sufferers where you can find helpful tips on nutrition, exercise and pain management. If you take the time to educate yourself about arthritis, there is a good chance you will find all kinds of great things to help yourself out.
Arthritis can impair your ability to perform the most mundane of routines, so never underestimate its potential. If you are afflicted with arthritis and it impacts your lifestyle, put a stop to it. The reason this article was prepared was to provide help to people like you. Keep reading to enable yourself to do what you can about arthritis.

MADRID, Aug. 21 (UPI) — Rio de Janeiro, host of the 2016 Summer Olympics, will host the next World Youth Day, Pope Benedict said in Madrid.
"I am pleased now to announce that the next World Youth day will be held in 2013, in Rio de Janeiro," the Pope said Sunday at a mass at a military airbase, where hundreds of thousands of people attended this year's World Youth Day celebration.
The pope has been in Madrid the past four days for World Youth Day and he was expected to return to the Vatican later Sunday, CNN reported. The event is held in a different city every few years.
Vatican Radio released a transcript of the pope's address to the faithful at World Youth Day.
"In this celebration of the Eucharist we have reached the high point of this World Youth Day," the pope said in the transcript released by Vatican Radio. "Seeing you here, gathered in such great numbers from all parts of the world, fills my heart with joy. I think of the special love with which Jesus is looking upon you."
The event was criticized by thousands of demonstrators who said the money could be better spent finding people work. Unemployment in Spain is nearly 21 percent, with almost 5 million people without work.
The event in Madrid cost about $70 million. World Youth Day organizers said most of the funds came from sponsors and pilgrims, and didn't cost taxpayers anything.

Shirley McAllister of Sun City led Monday morning's effort, presenting a petition and explaining to District Chief of Staff Daniel Hay what she and her fellow constituents would like to see prioritized, including the protection of Social Security and Medicare and the end of Bush-era tax cuts.
"We came here to ask if Congressman Franks is willing to do what needs to be done to protect this country," she said.
McAllister asked Hay if Franks is willing to vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling.
"No, he is not," Hay said. "Philosophically, he just disagrees with you. I think if you look at the campaign he ran on you'll see that he's doing exactly what he said he would do."
Congress has until Aug. 2 to raise debt ceiling — or federal borrowing limit — or the government will run out of money and possibly default on its debt. House Republicans say they won't raise the debt limit without equal spending cuts. President Obama and Democrats insist that higher revenues must be included.
Hay promised that Franks would get the message and asked everyone who came provide contact information so they could be informed when Franks schedules his next town hall meeting. Franks' Glendale office is at 7121 W. Bell Road.
"I can tell you that the congressman is usually the last person to leave," Hay said. "He always sticks around if any of you would like to speak to him personally."
Despite what Sun Citian Robert Ferrante described as long odds, he is still holding out hope that Franks will be swayed by their effort.
"There's always hope," he said. "I think we can get past any obstacle as long as we have hope."
Deanna Stropes, also of Sun City, was not so optimistic.
"No, I hold out absolutely no hope that Franks will change his vote," she said. "I know he won't. What we need to do, ultimately, is find someone to replace him in office."
If she felt there was no chance to sway Franks' opinion, why, then, did Stropes participate in Monday's effort to do so?
"Because this is a democracy and this is what you are supposed to do," she said. "You make your voice heard. You participate. I think too many Americans haven't been paying attention for too long. Until they get up off their couches and start participating, we're doomed."

Ancient Christian gravesites found in Ephesus:
The Ephesus excavations representative of the Culture and Tourism Ministry, Dr. Soner Ateşoğulları, also said … the tomb reflected the development level of the era in terms of architecture and jewelry and that it was an important part of culture history, Ateşoğulları said they concluded that the older skeletons were Pagan while the subsequent ones were Christian.

Thanks for the heads up on a very importnat find. (Have I ever mentioned that you should visit Ephesus yourself?)
Also, I caught your wicked commentary on the sophisticated dating methods archaeologists sometimes employ. Very amusing!Comment by Carl Sommer 10.14.08 @ 1:22 pm

Re: Official WWE 13 Thread
Seriously, I don't know what is the problem with that game. Seriously, I don't know if this is because I really love wrestling or what but I just can't play to something else than that game. There is always something I want to do.
However, today was a great day on WWE'13. First, I play to the online for the first time and I think I should buy the DLC because I'm the biggest jobber of all of time. I had just one match, ALL the others matches, there was nothing I could do. In a Elimination Chamber, I enter, take the Rock Bottom in 20 seconds and bye bye. And there was that I quit Match against Goldberg, I think he was really pissed off. I was Daniel Bryan. So, to makes me says I quit, he needed to use like 5 jackhammer, 10 spear, 1 spear throught the barricade and one superplex to the outside.
But at least, there is one match I won. I was CM Punk ( with BITW T-Shirt
) against Ryback ( the model really sucks, looks nothing like the real one ) and seriously, that was a great match. He Shellshocked through the Annonce Table, I beat him up with a Kendo Stick, many suicide dive to keep him in the outside of the ring, 2 GTS and I had finish him with a awesome Anaconda Vice.
And I had also worked on a Scenario, I don't think it's great but that's passable. I had just done Raw for the moment. I had a rivalry for each title. Swagger came back to save Kofi from Ziggler and wants his US Title, at the Royal Rumble, Rock couldn't do his Title Match because a car crashed him and Vince McMahon wanted to suspend CM Punk but with the help of Stephanie McMahon, CM Punk beat up Vince. Stephanie and Punk will do a alliance but I don't know if for Wrestlemania, I do Punk w/ Steph against Rock w/ Vince or against Undertaker w/ Vince. And for the divas, Michelle McCool came back with the divas Title. At Elimination Chamber, Trish will surely beat Michelle McCool and at Smackdown, Molly Holly will came back against Kelly Kelly to give some funny segment and build up Kelly Kelly and at Wrestlemania, I will made a epic Trish Stratus vs Kelly Kelly for the title.
And I don't know if I will take the DLC. Seriously, I hate the idea because it's something that we should had on the disc BUT WWE'13 is THE game I will play in 2013, unlike all my other game, I play to this during all the year so I don't know if I will take it

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
This recipe comes to us from Carrie Faith.
2 cans Heinz beans in tomato sauce
2 cans Heinz Chili style Kidney beans
1 can Hunts-Wesson tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes
1 small Imagine Tomato soup (if you can find this, just add extra tomato sauce)
Extra lean hamburger
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup corn
2-4 tbl Chili powder, McCormick or Club house (add as much as you want)
Cook hamburger and vegetables until done. Add everything in a big pot and heat.

In the last two games before the Olympic break, the fourth line provided skill, grit and most importantly depth for the Carolina Hurricanes and it's something that's been missing for the Hurricanes this season.
For the most part the top six has been relied on for scoring, which has caused the need for a third-line center, despite GM Jim Rutherford saying the position is all Manny Malhotra's.
The fourth line has featured a number of different players including Brett Sutter, Radek Dvorak, Kevin Westgarth, Zach Boychuk and Malhotra, but the current trio of Riley Nash, Drayson Bowman and Tuomo Ruutu seem to be the answer for the Canes.
On Saturday, against the Montreal Canadiens, Bowman had one of the best games of the season, even if he didn't bury the puck as much as he could have. Nash has two goals in the past three games and Ruutu is finally starting to earn some of the money he is making.
While the three players have shown to be inconsistent this season, if they can be effective as they have been in the 10 minutes they'll see in most games, it can do a lot to help the Hurricanes.
The play of Bowman, Ruutu and Nash has also erased the need for depth help through a trade or otherwise that was plaueging the Canes as the trade deadline comes closer and closer.
Depth will become even more important with the stretch drive and possibly playoffs coming up. With how Drayson Bowman, Rileu Nash and Tuomo Ruutu have been playing, the team should have a great fourth line to depend on.

Two nights after completing the largest comeback in franchise history, the Anaheim Ducks were at it again.
After falling behind 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers, the Ducks scored three unasnwered goals, two by Corey Perry, to take down the Oilers 3-2 at Honda Center Wednesday night.
The victory gives the Ducks their 50th win of the season and puts them three points ahead of the San Jose Sharks for first place in the Pacific Division.
The Sharks were idle Wednesday night.
With the game knotted at two late in the third period, Francois Beauchemin took a feed from Perry at the top of the left circle and fired it past former Duck Viktor Fasth to give Anaheim the lead.
Frederik Andersen held down the fort in the final 1:21 to assure the Ducks a huge two points in the Pacific Division race. He finished with 30 saves.
Perry would get the ball rolling for the Ducks as he started the third period off with a bang. Immediately following Jordan Eberle's goal to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead, Perry's snipe past Fasth was his 40th tally on the season and pumped some life into the flailing Ducks.
Eight minutes later, Perry added another to the tie the game. Stephane Robidas, the hero of Monday night's comeback, threw the puck on goal and Perry deflected it past his former teammate.
Perry would then get his third point of the night by assisting on Beauchemin's game-winning goal.
It was another rough start for the Ducks. In Monday's win, Anaheim fell behind 4-0 to the Winnipeg Jets only to come back and win 5-4. Tonight, the Ducks had to overcome a two-goal deficit to beat the Oilers.
Philip Larsen put Edmonton on the board in the second period. With the man advantage after Mathieu Perreault was sent off for tripping, Larsen's slap shot past Andersen gave the Oilers a 1-0 lead.
The Oilers struck again to begin the third period as Eberle scored his 26th of the season to put Edmonton up 2-0. Things looked bleak for the Ducks at that point, but Perry took over and guided Anaheim to a huge come-from-behind win.
Anaheim (50-18-8) will stay at Honda Center Friday night as it takes on the Nashville Predators. Nashville (33-32-11) will be the seventh non-playoff team in a row on the Ducks' schedule.
With a 5-0-1 record in their past six, the Ducks have taken advantage of the generous schedule. However, ugly starts have nearly doomed Bruce Boudreau's squad.
If the Ducks want to hold on to the division, quicker starts are a must.
But for now, they'll take it anyway they can get them.

300ml (½ pint / 1¼ cups) freshly squeezed orange juice
60ml (4 tbsp) single [light] cream [optional]
- Tip all but a few summer fruits into a blender or food processor and add the sugar and orange juice. Blend until smooth, adding a little more orange juice if the mixture is too thick.
- Pour the smoothie into 3 tall glasses and, using a teaspoon, swirl a little cream into each glass. Top with the reserved fruits and serve with long spoons to mix the cream.
- If you do not want to squeeze the oranges, you can buy juice – but avoid the concentrated juices.

GQ: I've always felt challenged by your resistance to modern trappings. Has having a family changed your experience around technology and modernity? You've told me in the past that a lot of the stuff that most of us surround ourselves with makes you uncomfortable.
Jack White: I was raised by pretty much senior citizens. My parents were pretty old. We had ten kids. They were into a lot of older things. I remember listening to Nat King Cole, Roger Miller, and Gene Krupa, and I was in a neighborhood where nobody was listening to any of that stuff, and they never would. It was weird to be on my front porch playing guitar, and to have people walk by and making fun of me, throwing rocks and shit. You sort of get this defiance like, Okay, a lot of people aren't into this stuff. But there was always this temptation, like two people on your shoulder, and one of them's saying, "Jack, just go along and like what they like. You'll have more friends, it'll be an easier time, you'll be happier." Then on the other side of me there's that stiff upper lip, like, "No, I like this, and I'm going to keep liking it. I'm not gonna change just because they want me to." That whole battle. And maybe I started that battle in my head. Maybe I imagine that battle in my head. Maybe I create it when it's not there, just so that I know how to work. I don't know.
GQ: Does having a family, where it's not just you in your head anymore, change that?
Jack White: Like, kids, you mean? You know, honest to God, I don't think about 'em when I'm working. There's a time and a place for that. I don't think about my mom when I'm onstage, you know? I just don't really think about my kids when I'm working, and when we press stop and I walk outside, they're the first things I think about. Even when Karen and I worked on a record together, we never thought about that we were husband and wife. We never talked about it, never did anything where I said, "Uh, I wish we weren't having this conversation right now, because we're supposed to be working on a record…" We never had that; it was time to work. And we never said it, either, which is a good sign, you know? That means things were happening on their own, naturally, for the right reasons.
GQ: And you're both equally focused.
Jack White: Yeah. That was sort of a test, when I look back on it, for the studio, and for me as a producer, to get through something like that and have it come out the other end and be pure. It's hard to do, man, work with your wife, or work with your husband. And it broke through.

Who We Are?
We are a movement.
Bethany Community Church is a movement of people who are committed to bring the community to become fully devoted to Jesus Christ and the teaching of the Gospel.
Our Mission
To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ
Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call. Acts 2:38-39
Our Vision
to become an Intentional Church for Reaching the Unchurched
To create a place where people are encouraged to pursue more intimate relationship with God, to live in community of believers and to influence the outsiders.
Developing an authentic-relationship with the Unchurched. Creating a place that the Unchurched loves to come. Praying for the Unchurched.
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:44-47

- On Google's Ingress Game (ReadWrite Web) — By rolling out Ingress to developers at I/O, Google hopes to show how mobile, location, multi-player and augmented reality functions can be integrated into developer application offerings. In that way, Ingress becomes a kind of "how-to" template to developers looking to create vibrant new offerings for Android games and apps. (via Mike Loukides)
- Nanoscribe Micro-3D Printer — in contrast to stereolithography (SLA), the resolution is between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude higher: Feature sizes in the order of 1 µm and less are standard. (via BoingBoing)
- Thingpunk — The problem of the persistence of these traditional values is that they prevent us from addressing the most pressing design questions of the digital era: How can we create these forms of beauty and fulfill this promise of authenticity within the large and growing portions of our lives that are lived digitally? Or, conversely, can we learn to move past these older ideas of value, to embrace the transience and changeability offered by the digital as virtues in themselves? Thus far, instead of approaching these (extremely difficult) questions directly, traditional design thinking has lead us to avoid them by trying to make our digital things more like physical things (building in artificial scarcity, designing them skeumorphically, etc.) and by treating the digital as a supplemental add-on to primarily physical devices and experiences (the Internet of Things, digital fabrication).
- Kickstarter and NPR — The internet turns everything into public radio. There's a truth here about audience-supported media and the kinds of money-extraction systems necessary to beat freeloading in a medium that makes money-collection hard and freeloading easy.

Infographics Game, Streaming Money, Robot Interviews, and Inefficient Science Funding
- Metrico — puzzle game for Playstation centered around infographics (charts and graphs). (via Flowing Data)
- The Lease They Can Do (Business Week) — excellent Paul Ford piece on money, law, and music streaming services. So this is not about technology. Nor is it really about music. This is about determining the optimal strategy for mass licensing of digital artifacts.
- How Effective Is a Humanoid Robot as a Tool for Interviewing Young Children? (PLosONE) — The results reveal that the children interacted with KASPAR very similar to how they interacted with a human interviewer. The quantitative behaviour analysis reveal that the most notable difference between the interviews with KASPAR and the human were the duration of the interviews, the eye gaze directed towards the different interviewers, and the response time of the interviewers. These results are discussed in light of future work towards developing KASPAR as an 'interviewer' for young children in application areas where a robot may have advantages over a human interviewer, e.g. in police, social services, or healthcare applications.
- Funding: Australia's Grant System Wastes Time (Nature, paywalled) — We found that scientists in Australia spent more than five centuries' worth of time preparing research-grant proposals for consideration by the largest funding scheme of 2012. Because just 20.5% of these applications were successful, the equivalent of some four centuries of effort returned no immediate benefit to researchers.
The media-marketing merge
Can good content come from pay-to-play relationships?
I ran across a program Forbes is running called BrandVoice that gives marketers a place on Forbes' digital platform. During a brief audio interview with TheMediaBriefing, Forbes European managing director Charles Yardley explained how BrandVoice works:
"It's quite simply a tenancy fee. A licensing fee that the marketer pays every single month. It's based on a minimum of a six-month commitment. There's two different tiers, a $50,000-per-month level and a $75,000-per-month level." [Discussed at the 4:12 mark.]
Take a look at some of the views BrandVoice companies are getting. You can see why marketers would be interested. Read more…

"Piracy" Good for Sales, Digital Humanities, Javascript Source Formatting, and Research by BotNet
- Digital Music Consumption on the Internet: Evidence from Clickstream Data (Scribd) — The goal of this paper is to analyze the behavior of digital music consumers on the Internet. Using clickstream data on a panel of more than 16,000 European consumers, we estimate the effects of illegal downloading and legal streaming on the legal purchases of digital music. Our results suggest that Internet users do not view illegal downloading as a substitute to legal digital music. Although positive and significant, our estimated elasticities are essentially zero: a 10% increase in clicks on illegal downloading websites leads to a 0.2% increase in clicks on legal purchases websites. Online music streaming services are found to have a somewhat larger (but still small) effect on the purchases of digital sound recordings, suggesting complementarities between these two modes of music consumption. According to our results, a 10% increase in clicks on legal streaming websites lead to up to a 0.7% increase in clicks on legal digital purchases websites. We find important cross country difference in these effects. A paper from the EU commission's in-house science service. (via Don Christie)

Why I'm changing my tune on paywalls
A Pew report says paywalls could yield content that justifies a price tag.
The Pew Research Center is out with its annual "State of the News Media" report. Much of it is what you'd expect: newspapers and local television are struggling, mobile is rising, digital revenue hasn't — and can't — replace traditional print revenue, and on and on.
But read carefully, and you'll find hope.
For example, Pew says the embrace of paywalls might improve the quality of the content:
"The rise of digital paid content could also have a positive impact on the quality of journalism as news organizations strive to produce unique and high-quality content that the public believes is worth paying for."
I used to criticize paywalls. I thought they could only work for specialized content or material that's attached to a desired outcome (i.e. subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, use the insights to make money).
My concern was that publishers would slam walls around their existing content and ask people to pay for an experience that had once been free. That made no sense. Who wants to pay for slideshows and link bait and general news?
But content that's "worth paying for" is a different thing altogether. Publishers who go this route are acknowledging that a price tag requires justification.
Will it work? Maybe. What I might pay is different than what you might pay. There's that pesky return-on-investment thing to consider as well.
However, my bigger takeaway — and this is why I'm changing my tune on paywalls — is that value is now part of the paywall equation. That's a good start.

Corporate Networks, SimCity Analysis, Monetizing Memes, and Javascript Autocomplete
- The Network of Global Control (PLoS One) — We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. [...] From an empirical point of view, a bow-tie structure with a very small and influential core is a new observation in the study of complex networks. We conjecture that it may be present in other types of networks where "rich-get-richer" mechanisms are at work. (via The New Aesthetic)
- Using SimCity to Diagnose My Home Town's Traffic Problems — no actual diagnosis performed, but the modeling and observations gave insight. I always feel that static visualizations (infographics) are far less useful than an interactive simulation that can give you an intuitive sense of relationships and behaviour. once I'd built East Didsbury, the strip of shops in Northenden stopped making as much money as they once were, and some were even beginning to close down as my time ran out. Walk along Northenden high street, and you'll know that feeling.
- How the Harlem Shake Went from Viral Sideshow to Global Meme (The Verge) — interesting because again the musician is savvy enough (and has tools and connections) to monetize popularity without trying to own every transaction involving his idea. Baauer and Mad Decent have generally been happy to let a hundred flowers bloom, permitting over 4,000 videos to use an excerpt of the song but quietly adding each of them to YouTube's Content ID database, asserting copyright over the fan videos and claiming a healthy chunk of the ad revenue for each of them.

Malware Industrial Complex, Indies Needed, TV Analytics, and HTTP Benchmarking
- Welcome to the Malware-Industrial Complex (MIT) — brilliant phrase, sound analysis.
- Stupid Stupid xBox — The hardcore/soft-tv transition and any lead they feel they have is simply not defensible by licensing other industries' generic video or music content because those industries will gladly sell and license the same content to all other players. A single custom studio of 150 employees also can not generate enough content to defensibly satisfy 76M+ customers. Only with quality primary software content from thousands of independent developers can you defend the brand and the product. Only by making the user experience simple, quick, and seamless can you defend the brand and the product. Never seen a better put statement of why an ecosystem of indies is essential.
- Data Feedback Loops for TV (Salon) — Netflix's data indicated that the same subscribers who loved the original BBC production also gobbled down movies starring Kevin Spacey or directed by David Fincher. Therefore, concluded Netflix executives, a remake of the BBC drama with Spacey and Fincher attached was a no-brainer, to the point that the company committed $100 million for two 13-episode seasons.

Looking at the many faces and forms of data journalism
Leading experts on data-driven storytelling came together in our recent Google+ Hangout.
Over the past year, I've been investigating data journalism. In that work, I've found no better source for understanding the who, where, what, how and why of what's happening in this area than the journalists who are using and even building the tools needed to make sense of the exabyte age. Yesterday, I hosted a Google Hangout with several notable practitioners of data journalism. Video of the discussion is embedded below:
Over the course of the discussion, we talked about what data journalism is, how journalists are using it, the importance of storytelling, ethics, the role of open source and "showing your work" and much more.

(via BoingBoing)
- TruthTeller Prototype (Washington Post) — speech-to-text, then matches statements against known facts to identify truth/falsehoods. Still a prototype but I love that, in addition to the Real Time Coupon Specials From Hot Singles Near You mobile advertising lens, there might be a truth lens that technology helps us apply to the world around us.
- Money from Music: Survey Evidence on Musicians' Revenue and Lessons About Copyright Incentives — 5,000 American musicians surveyed, For most musicians, copyright does not provide much of a direct financial reward for what they are producing currently. The survey findings are instead consistent with a winner-take-all or superstar model in which copyright motivates musicians through the promise of large rewards in the future in the rare event of wide popularity. This conclusion is not unfamiliar, but this article is the first to support it with empirical evidence on musicians' revenue. (via TechDirt)
- Max Levchin's DLD13 Keynote — I believe the next big wave of opportunities exists in centralized processing of data gathered from primarily analog systems. [...] There is also a neat symmetry to this analog-to-digtail transformation — enabling centralization of unique analog capacities. As soon as the general public is ready for it, many things handled by a human at the edge of consumption will be controlled by the best currently available human at the center of the system, real time sensors bringing the necessary data to them in real time.

Anne-Marie, french-canadian. But soon you'll know me as Anne Welch, 'cause I am Grace Welch's future wife. This is a blog MOSTLY dedicated to Florence and the Machine, but some other things might get in the way. Stay tuned for my famous Florabella fanfics :D
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I am writing this post at the risk of my own roleplay that I have spent TIRELESS hours on and poured so much heart and creativity into I could cry. I am writing this post at the risk of losing everything I have built as a RPH. I stand to lose everything with this post but you know what? It's worth it if I can reveal a snake for who she really is and hopefully save others from this same grief. I am asking my followers to please, please, please read this. Maybe even reblog so others can avoid this mess.
It's for the security of your own roleplaying, especially if you're into celebrity RPs. There is a wolf in sheep's clothing masquerading as an ally. She will take your RPG's goals, subpages, and ideas and mutate them into her own. Take it from my own grief with this person: stay far far away from Celebrity Vancouver and Pretenders RPA. Below the cut you will find my ordeal with her laid out, her admissions of trolling, and exactly how she bends her own RPG's rules to boot members because of her personal feelings. With plenty of screen caps to back it up.
This was meant to be sent at the same time as my History of Florabella post last night but tumblr's a bitch and didn't send it so I'm sending it now.
Because I know my shipping ways have offended in the past, I'm sure some people have been crossed by the post and a few things in it, so here's my apology/explanation.
First off, please remember that this is all taken from almost two years ago. Two years ago, things were quite different, the fandom was much smaller, the pictures rarer and I was much, much, younger.
Secondly, YES I know NOW that the picture used in ne of the post isn't of Isa and Flo. Back in the days, two years ago, I made the mistake. I learned quickly it wasn't Flo and that was it. I am merely posting it now because it does still play a part in the chronology of things.
Lastly, and that's the part I know a lot of you might get iffy about. I would like to officially apologize for the things young me said about Stuart. Re-reading it was a bit cringy to be honest. I was young and very obsessed. I have grown and anyone who've been following me for a long time knows that I've always, in any further relationships Flo was in, been able to separate real life and my shipping. I am a very very faithful follower of the "As long as Florence is happy, so am I" line of thought. What I said back then about Stuart was, indeed, the kind of thing I now deplore in fandoms, and I do apologize that I had to say this to get to Florabella.
That all being said, I still ship Florabella all the fucking way until the day I die because they're just THAT CLOSE to being Canon it hurts. And I hope a put a few of your minds at ease. If you're still upset about my shipping ways, well I'm sorry.
