Despite the controversy over patents, what is a progressive take on authorship in the collaborative world?
Live TED Conversation: Join TED Fellow Kaustuv Be Biswas
A US- and India-based entrepreneur whose experimental design firm, dplay, is building open-source toolboxes for design.
This Conversation opens on Nov. 8th at 1:00PM ET
Closing Statement from Kaustuv De Biswas
There is a clear unresolved bifurcation between the desire to share collaborate freely, and the need to own and protect - more so in the creative domains. With the current backdrop of the US patent reform bill - which does not quite capture the common frustrations (eg. commercial giants hard to compete with), the conversation touched upon some interesting ideas and facets - from 'micro-patents', to 'free-essentials', to 'open patenting rounds' to 'ownership responsibilities' . Thank you all for an interesting hour!

Nov 8 2011: well, one way to look at this question is to take a page out of the "micro-payment" economy - create a "micro-authorship" system. if we assume that it is easier to collaborate (remotely or otherwise), easier to document and backtrack each contributor's steps, easy/er to follow on the footsteps of the complete product, whatever that may be - then is something has been created by a 1000 collaborators all 1000 should share ownership and authorship, unless stated otherwise.

Brayd Jazz
Nov 8 2011: Similar "micro-authorship' systems seem to be in place in the music industry.... it would be great to get the perspective from a record company, film studio, or entertainment lawyer on the pros and cons.Nov 8 2011: Maybe we need a reverse of the current bill - what the current US bill pushes is early submission and protection. that in my opinion paves the way for more bogus patents. Rather what if the patenting around an idea remains open until an idea reaches a stage of maturity, depth and value. who ever participates in such a seed round, will co-share rights to ownership in some appropriate mechanism (maybe in a vested manner). What that will allow is to enlarge participation and speed up the process.Nov 8 2011: My inventions came soley from my mind. I received zero help from the collaborative world. Would you like to know what the IPhone10s will look like? Would you like to know what it will do?

I can always be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com 8 2011: Intellectual property is an interesting subject, and one that deserves a lot of thought.
As one who generates content, copyrights, and is getting into trademarks and patents as well, I am somewhat torn. I feel that creative people should be rewarded for their work, and that giving such people incentive to push forward in their fields is imperative. At least in the 20th century, places where people could profit from their innovation the most tended to be the most innovative.
However, in this day where open source, creative commons, and a basic sense that content should be free on the internet... it is no longer clear that the old model is still in effect. Plenty of progress is made in areas without any hope of profit. (Linux, Wikipedia etc.) There is an assumption that anything you could want to see can be viewed on YouTube for free. Bands and musical artists put their music up on MySpace & Soundcloud for free, and are happy when people download their stuff.
Even some mainstream acts have done well with a model of 'pay as much as you want or even nothing, but download our album anyway.' Radiohead has actually made more money this way than they did when signed to a major label.
I suppose a progressive take on authorship will have to take all of this in to consideration. Marcin Jakubowski in his TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski.html made some very solid points on the concept of open source blueprints for things like tractors, microchip printers and the other 50 things he determined to be essential for civilization.
I am curious where this will go.
Nov 8 2011: Thank Jan for rounding it up well - I share the torn feeling as well - there is this clear bifurcation. The desire to share collaborate freely, and the need to own and protect. There is no clear resolution right now - the reason behind throwing the question before such a fantastic community.
Taking from Marcin's talk - are you suggesting that 'essentials' should be open and free, while desire-ables (if can say so) come for a price :) Btw, love what Radiohead did!
Jah Sun
Nov 8 2011: I think that Marcin's concept is fabulous, and yes the essentials should be open. Luxury things or items that require a ton of R&D might need to keep their profit incentive...
- +1
Hard to say, as the grey area would be vast.
HIV drugs are R&D intensive, but the idea of withholding them from poor African villagers because they can not pay 10$ a pill is abhorrent.
Perhaps we will see a Wikipedia of open source patents. There is already a growing Appropriate Technology movement, especially in the philanthropic charity world. (open sourced patents on well drilling, composting latrines, bio sand water filters and the like)Nov 8 2011: I definitely understand that open source options leave little to no room for profit but there are other incentives that motivate people to join the open source movement. For example, open source encourages both experienced players and inexperienced learners to collaborate and learn from each other to create a final product.
Also, open source is good for the general public. In other situations, firms may join forces in order to decrease their costs to creating a product, but still choose to raise prices. In other words, when firms engage in joint ventures, the result may be reduced competition. Reduced competition hurts the consumers because they have less options and may be subjected to paying higher prices.
In open source, it is most often the case that low competition (high collaboration) produces high quality goods... a great benefit to the public. Last thought, I don't think that people really invest time in contributing to the development of an open source product with financial incentives in mind, but for what I believe to be more altruistic reasons, such as personal learning and the belief that information/technologies that make life and work more efficient and productive should be shared with everyone.Nov 8 2011: Jah - interesting indeed, but what if the IP owner can CHOOSE who and when to expose his/her idea to? it could be protected on sunday and exposed on monday..Nov 8 2011: Do you have any thoughts on why a country like India with so many trained technical and scientific resources is not generating enough IP or coming up with innovative world class products (besides the oft quoted example of the Tata Nano car)? Even the large and successful Indian IT companies appear to be totally focused on delivering services and don't have any product offerings (software or hardware) that are recognizable in the global marketplace.
Nov 8 2011: Arun, I recently started off an IP based company and part of it exists in India. From what I saw, its not the deficit in training, but a deficit in attitude that is at the heart of it. My hunch is that the core issue lies in the dogmatic and closed nature of our educational systems are. Its a longer conversation and being born and brought up in India, i feel very closely to this issue and I plan to invest myself to bring about a change - however small it might be!Nov 8 2011: Aditya - ideally, and ideologically - i am in complete agreement with you. however, we exist under not only the rules of the legislator, but more importantly - under the regime of human nature: it is human to want to own, to need to own. it is not a "bad" thing to have ownership or claim authorship of something by default. it is true that the system underwhich most of us create is suffocating and abusive and needs to be changed. but i wouldn't rule out ownership as such.
Nov 8 2011: Eyal - I'm not ruling authorship out. I'm talking about how authorship almost plucks a 'blooming flower' of an idea from it's plant. I'm pointing towards how patents reserve their potent seed like nature and prevent so much fertility they can cause. I'm not saying ownership is "bad" but I'm also saying that complete ownership comes in the way of growth. What do you think?Nov 8 2011: eyal, ownership is not a bad thing - however, dont you think that - if there is an opportunity for a community to develop it further - there should be a way to enclose that as well?
Nov 8 2011: i agree.
my only reservation here would be that you will need to accurately define what an "idea" is, and what would it take to develop one. it's easy to see what the patenting system is paramount to the pharma industry, but at the same time how, as you correctly say, is almost destructive in other areas, and no wonder that open-source has originated essentially in the SW universe.Nov 8 2011: Kaustuv - absolutely. which is why i believe in relational ownership, if you like, which is much more relevant to the world of collaborative design/development, your original point. i really believe that the patent system will collapse at some point.Nov 8 2011: Do you mean if an owner is sitting on a neglected idea should a community have the option to foster it?
Nov 8 2011: I think yes. Doing that should also 'compulsorily' involve the owner in some way. This, I think provides ownership to both the owner and the community and prevents the idea from dying and helps it to branch out in the future.Nov 8 2011: Kyle - this model basically exists in the pharma industry, only there a company can "sit" on a patent for a drug for 30 years i think - then in becomes a "generic" drug and is open to all to develop and sell. what if we bring that model to all other IP-protected things?Nov 8 2011: In this day & age, the idea that you can keep any information from getting out into the world and being used how people see fit to use it is becoming passé. With sensitive information, it can cost more money and energy to keep something secret than the information is actually worth.
At any rate, there will countries that don't respect intellectual property, pirates, poor kids who want to watch films they can't afford, and even people who willfully disrespect patents on medicines to provide them to the needy... whatever the holders of abstract copyrights, patents, and trademarks think about it.
The Bern Convention is obsolete, and the Digital Millennium Copyright act is not any kind of successor. Whatever we do about this subject, we have to accept the fact that the content of most patents and copyrights can be disseminated around the world in a matter of seconds..Nov 8 2011: @Jan, the new patent reform package has only a commercial take on the in my opinion - how to get more patents on the way quickly. It does not address how smaller companies can take on the giants.
Looking at it philosophically, does not this institution of patenting slow down innovation and progress, by silo-ing development?
Nov 8 2011: Even looking at it practically, the current institution favors the giants with the resources to navigate the system. For the independent designer to understand (and pay for it) is stifling to their progress.
Is an automatic protection a possibility for the smaller guy? Or is that too threatening to the system?
Nov 8 2011: In music and literature there is an automatic copyright whether you file it or not.
It is still normal procedure to file the copyright because it enables one to prove when the items were created should it come down to litigation.
But in the US at least, the minute a writer writes something down, it is copyrighted.Nov 8 2011: Maybe we need an 'open patenting round' at the start, where when an idea is thrown out - its still open for others to participate as authors. Whoever show substantial contribution, gets to co-share the idea. What do you think? who is big or small comes at the end, not at the start then.
Nov 8 2011: i like where you're going with this..Nov 8 2011: Interesting concept.
It would be difficult in the current climate to keep large corporations from coming in and taking over every idea with commercial potential though.
It could lead to a world where Monsanto and Novartis basically get free labor from the small biochemists of the world, for example.
Maybe what will happen is the opposite... that a Wikileaks of patented information will come along and blow all the patents held by the big boys by giving them away. Pharma Napster...Nov 8 2011: It would be a good start to have a place where 'open source minds' can collaborate. Nashville songwriters have long held that if you're 'in the room' when the song happens you have an equal cut whether you contributed 90% of the song or 10%. Virtual rooms - public, private...could be any way the host decides.
At the end of the day, traditional IP can co-exist with the progressive version.Nov 8 2011: @eyal, thats interesting - are you suggesting that there can be objective analytics to assign 'authorship'? how would backtracking occur?Nov 8 2011: Is authorship synonymous with ownership?
Nov 8 2011: Kaustuv - it's not like a thought it through or anything :) - but i would argue that technology as we know it NOW as with it's exponential growth of capabilities will enable co-creators to not just manage a project (we all know that is happening) but also manage "authorship portions" if you will, bounded of course by pre-determined rules of engagement. as a designer and creator of IP, i can honestly say that if i knew that my rights on creation X were secure - it would take a load of my shoulders even if i knew that my "share", in whatever form - would be smaller. on the contrary, i would have been happy to share it with others. now there's a start-up for you - an intelligent IP-sharing engine :)
easy? - no.
possible? - absolutely.
Nov 8 2011: hah! an intelligent IP-sharing engine :) my hunch is the solution would be more ideological than technological!
Nov 8 2011: :)
i would have to agree, although...gets me thinking a little bit...think of what happens in the music industry, film industry, soon with TC content, the kickstarter model etc...Nov 8 2011: the latter is probably claimed :)Nov 8 2011: not always, but i think that for the sake of this discussion yes.Nov 8 2011: Collaboration fosters in an environment which is not bound by rules of usage or ownership. Intellectual property, where on one hand acts as a medal for corporate giants and many intellectuals, takes away any space which it could have created for other minds to come and grow that particular idea. Authorship is a passe in the age of open source and social media.Nov 8 2011: What would be, in your opinion, the core of a new patent reform package that strictly promotes consumer and author welfare without creating similar problems that the existing system faces?

UremiaSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Uremia (uremic syndrome) is a serious complication of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury (also known as acute renal failure). It occurs when urea and other waste products build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them. These substances can become poisonous (toxic) to the body if they reach high levels.
Prolonged or severe fluid buildup (edema) may make the uremic syndrome worse.
Uremic syndrome may affect any part of the body and can cause:
- Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
- Changes in mental status, such as confusion, reduced awareness, agitation, psychosis, seizures, and coma.
- Abnormal bleeding, such as bleeding spontaneously or profusely from a very minor injury.
- Heart problems, such as an irregular heartbeat, inflammation in the sac that surrounds the heart (pericarditis), and increased pressure on the heart.
- Shortness of breath from fluid buildup in the space between the lungs and the chest wall (pleural effusion).
Kidney dialysis is usually needed to relieve the symptoms of uremic syndrome until normal kidney function can be restored.

Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe$$
Okay ANers and everyone reading this. Hold onto your hats cuz you won't believe this but it's true.
Want to see the real potential of crowdfunding? Want to see what it can really do and how it can influence our industry and change it forever? Well, here's a great example of the power of this new norm and what it can mean for us all.
A new project has just been launched just 2 DAYS AGO and you will be astonished at the results so far.
It's a story driven role playing game called "Torment: Tides of Numenera" by inXile entertainment in Newport Beach, California.
Their goal is $900,000.
So far...
39,486 backers pledged $2,173,325 pledged of a $900,000 goal with 28 days to go !!!

Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
Well their campaign had lots of momentum before they started. They have a strong fan base from previous works and are all professionals. This isn't a case of Joe Six Pack coming up with an idea and making gravy.
However, it does show that established companies that might have capital access problems can call on their fandom to rise to new heights. Often what the fans want the companies may not be able to provide due to money problems.
In this case the creators and fans win out big time and it makes the property so strong it can't be defeated.
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
Man, they gained more ground over the weekend.
44,437 backers pledging $2,433,945 of a $900,000 goal with 25 days to go.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inx ... f-numenera
There's still plenty of time to take it even further. Only five days have gone by in this 30 day campaign!
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
I agree its a big plus to have a strong fan base in place. But supports the idea that artists who work on big studio titles can make a break much easier. Using the fan base around the concepts they develop for big companies to launch their success. Makes me wish I would of stayed in the studio monster a little longer. hahahaha
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
What about the people and groups who have nothing to do with the monster studios and still wind up being very successful with crowdfunding?
There's too much good news to attribute it to studio experience or association.
Ultimately it all comes down to your content. If it's something people like and can get into they'll back it and will join your fan base.
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
Oh a fan base helps a lot!!!
Your fans are your lifeblood and treating them like royalty is a must. How many times have we seen movie franchises or tv shows ignore the fans and then die on the vine?
With a crowdfunding campaign you have to get the word out. Having fans means you have people who will do that for you and in droves. Facebook and Twitter being the new vehicles for this. If you have 5,000 friends who have 5,000 friends each you're bound to succeed with crowdfunding.
It's about the math.
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
Yes that's true! My point being that you don't have to have high level studio experience to develop a fan base or take advantage of what crowdfunding has to offer. You go with what you got and work on expanding that base.
I started a personal art blog last may and now I'm getting as good and sometimes even better traffic that AN's homepage. This weekend I saw what a little bit of viral can do and it gave me an added shot of confidence.
And I'm learning how much fans can love you. Fan love is different than what you experience among professional colleagues. You may feel like nothing in the biz community but to the outside world they just love you and your art no questions asked. If you give them love in return they'll keep it coming back. It's a beautiful thing to embrace. You see it on Kickstarter all the time. Guys with no experience in our end of things but huge amounts of fan love who support them to levels beyond what one would see doing work for hire in a studio.
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
All I was saying is having some known titles helps with the fan base. But absolutely, there's still success with those who don't have that under their belts. And you don't need a lot of initial fans to generate some decent income. Just the right campaign.
I plan on campaigning a print. Keeping it simple. But in my campaign I want to share what it could potentially fund. I mean, a print is dope, don't get me wrong, but the fans want to know they are apart of something bigger, or then contributed to you finishing something. Not just printing something.
Fans are process junkies too!They want to be apart of it.
But for me, doing it in tiers, like print first then art book, story book, short films, music..etc...Exposing fans to building the franchise. They will be part of the experience. Keeping each tier simple with simple incentives. Clear agendas. Milestones. The fans online become the new board members and its our job to walk them through the business plan.
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
They broke the $2.5 million mark!
45,964 backers pledging $2,508,233 of their original $900,000 goal with 24 days to go!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inx ... f-numenera
Here's what they have to say on their Kickstarter page under the heading of Why Kickstarter? Why Now?
"Our experience with crowd funding has been wonderfully positive for us at inXile and has opened our eyes to the power of a direct relationship with the gamers. We want to create RPGs in a fashion and style that helped to make the true classics. And along these lines we've abandoned the typical developer/publisher model and placed our future in the hands of RPG gamers. We've embraced the crowd in every aspect. YOU are our publisher...and you are the best publisher we've ever worked with!"
Re: Torment: Tides of Numenera - Kickstarter - Ma$$ive Succe
See how he focuses on direct contact with the gamers?
This must be driving the 'old boy networks' totally insane! The vice like grip that they had on distribution and production is withering away like crazy. The music and film industries are dirty, nasty, and violent. Now with crowdfunding and web distribution artists can bypass that old nonsense and not need radio airplay that was bought and sold for decades.
The good guys are winning like I said they would years ago when we started crowdfunding. I'm hoping when I get back into the game I do well. I'm studying how the successful campaigns are done. You can learn a lot by just chatting with the people who have had successful campaigns.
My emphasis is on medical right now. Getting people money they need for alternative treatments. Some win some lose but we keep on trying.
This video game success means the fans get what they want the way they want it. They're part of the creative process now and see the value of it. It's a lot like how us original Trekkies felt when we fought to keep Star Trek on the air back in the 60s. That scared Hollywood that people would stand up and fight for a tv show like we did and most of us were probably under 12 years old.
Keep fighting, get some AN crowdfunding success from you Charles and Bite and make AN a hub for artists and crowdfunding. I'm chatting with a few pals of mine with huge traffic websites to cut out a niche for crowdfunding. We'll see how that goes as one of them is a friend of AN.

This is the link to Soundcloud for my Aural Research Post. It is in podcast format and includes a recording of the Om (click the link for better quality), and a reading of a Tibetan Mantra concerning the Ego.
Essential to an understanding of Buddhist and Hindu cultures, meditative practices, and religious precepts, is a comprehension of resonance. Resonance addresses how even the slightest vibrations transfer energy and subsequently cause movement to spread like ripples until the energy dissipates and the vibrations settle. Resonance also applies to sound studies because of the relationship between sound and movement. Sound waves are caused by movement and even the Brownian motion, the movement of atoms, create sound waves.
Resonance holds a place of great importance when studying these cultures because of the Om and other basic tenets found within these religions. A deep belief in the interconnectedness of the universe lies at the foundations of these two cultures. Understanding the phenomena of resonance is direly important to attaining a state of inner and outer peace is the ultimate goal. By attuning themselves to resonance through use of the Om, meditation, and learning, these peoples are also learning to control the vibrations they cause and to better receive those of others. Resonance is more than just an acoustic property to these cultures; it's also symbolic of the ebb and flow of life and the universe, of which humans are merely specks within. By exploring resonance within these cultures I will examine these eastern cultures and the sound, mind, and body connections therein from a western intellectual perspective.
The Om is extremely important to meditative and yogic activity in both Hindu and Buddhist culture. This simple sound is intrinsically linked to the very foundations of these two religions, and is representative of the thrumming movement of the universe. This particular video captures a group of Tibetan monks chanting the Om in accompaniment with quiet bells and drums. Though the Om is not always carried out for such an extended period of time, it is often used to denote the beginning and end of different activities like praying, meditating, reciting mantras, or as a preface to a religious text.
Questions concerning the mind, body, soul triad have for many eons puzzled humans. Consistently throughout history humans have searched for answers and balance within the three, but many to no avail. What is the appeal of these meditative states and capabilities? Well for many, it's the inner peace and calm that is associated with the practice of such yogi activities.
Now although my research is majorly populated by the relationship aforementioned, it is another, more specific symbiosis of life that I will be examining. The main focus of this research will concern sound, mind, and body, and the interaction between the three through different practices such as meditation and yoga. As well, I will specifically explore the effects of sound, dissect them in terms of various authors, such as Schafer, Atali, Feld, and Veal. To complement my research I will also gather and create a select number of sound replications that might be associated with Buddhist and Hindi meditation.
Using the below mentioned five sources as my foundation, with possible changes to come, I will trace the cultural and spiritual history of these techniques and their sounds. Once the significance has been established and a fair understanding of the narrative of meditation throughout human history is realized, the research will then move towards more recent studies and scientific breakthroughs concerning the sound, mind, and body interaction.
The historical and cultural explorations will focus upon the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as the ancient Indian Hindu religion. Both of these "religions" are known to be interpreted more as ways of life, not exactly dictated religious precepts. These ways of life include a great deal of sensory (body) and mind reorientation through meditative practices. The spiritual importance of these beliefs and behaviors stems from the emphasis these ways of life put upon connection and peaceful stasis. In meditation, mind and body, including the sense of hearing, seek equilibrium. This practice has heavily influenced a great many members of this world, and the three religious texts used, Siddhartha, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the Baghavad-gita, will provide thorough and exciting insight into the various cultural backgrounds.
I will also address certain characteristics of sound, namely resonance, dissonance, types of sound, and other various attributes sound may possess. In this way I hope to give my readers a full historical and cultural view of meditation, and then address modern applications and neurological studies. This continuity will provide readers with a lot of interesting information to digest and to come away with. With the inclusion of different sound replications, I am sure that this topic will be easily adapted into a vibrant poster format.
My last hope for this project is that it reveals aspects of sound, mind, and body interaction that I have previously been unaware of. My greatest want is to explore this topic and find something new out. Something that will utterly change the way I think. It doesn't have to be a big deal, it can just be a small new phenomena that I am made aware of. With this plethora of exceptional literature and research before me, it seems inevitable that new discoveries are bound to occur.

Siddhartha – The plot of this novel follows the theoretical first Buddha, Siddhartha Gotama's, life in his development from a young and impetuous man into a being of patience, compassion, and simplicity. Herman Hesse has written extensively, specifically concerning Eastern religions and philosophies. This source adds to the sense of historical narrative that I am attempting to couple with the modern research techniques of the two scientific articles. It is intended for all, especially those searching for religious, spiritual, and ethical guidance.
"Mindfulness Meditation-Related Pain Relief" – This article focuses upon recent discoveries of the potential for mindfulness and mediation to be employed in pain relief practices. The five authors seem credible as well as intelligent and thorough. The article communicates abstract and difficult topics quite effectively. Most likely intended for further scholarly work and possible applications in modern day medicine. This article will be used as a source in combination with the other peer reviewed article, to establish and examine the contemporary applications and occurrences of the ancient practice of meditation.
Bhagavad-gita – This famous text concerns the battlefield dialogue between the Lord Sri Krsna and Arjuna. The Gita is considered a sacred "song" in Vedanta cultures. Its exploration of the religious and spiritual themes heavily associated with yoga, and its examination of yoga itself are of great interest due to their relationship of sound, mind, and body. This text adds a deeply spiritual perspective to the research that will complement the empirical studies conducted on the observable mental effects.
Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss – This text also focuses on spiritual and ethical teachings and advice but provides a different point of view. While the Bhagavad-gita descends from an Indian Hindi culture, The Tibetan Book of the Dead is one of the great works to come out of the Buddhist milieu of Tibet. It contains much of the Buddhist lore that surrounds the origin of meditation and its spiritual precepts. It also examines the role of the senses, including hearing, in understanding of self. The editors and translators all possess preeminent degrees in their respective fields, and the Dalai Lama is the source of Tibetan Buddhist culture. I am extremely interested to see what this source will add in terms of human experience with meditation and associated beliefs.
"Meditation Training Increases Brain Efficiency in an Attention Task" – This study examines the attentive ability of meditators in comparison with non-meditators. In Their findings they have found that attention attribution efficiency and impulse control are increased in meditators. The relationship between meditation and sensory attunement is a direction I would like to head with this research, and I feel this article will emphasize and support this focus. This source will provide assertions and statements with factual back-up. The exploration of this phenomenon will add much credence and understanding to meditation as a practice and tradition.

Hello, everybody.
Some of these suggestions are already written in this thread, some are not but I have no time to read more than 60 pages, so excuse me if I suggest something that is already written:
Player attributes
I want to see more realistic attributes system. As it was said before, pace can be showed as time of 100m run, i.e. 20 would be 10.00 s. Acceleration can be defined as a result of 30 m run. For example acceleration 20 is something around 3.00 s. Some attributes are excess. Such attributes as finishing, long shots, free kicks, penalty tacking can be replaced with shot accuracy, ability to curl the ball, shot power. It will be more logical, because I cant understand, why sometimes player with good finishing is not good in penalty taking. He forgets how to kick a ball when he takes penalty? When taking a penalty there is only one technical attribute important shot accuracy, everything else mental attributes. And needless to say that shot power should be defined as ball speed after the shot, for example Roberto Carlos had 198 km/h shot in his best years. The same situation we have with corners and crossing attributes. If player is good in crossing he can make a good cross from a corner. So, we can say that Corners attribute is excess.
Attributes display type
I always set graphical attributes display type, because I think that it is more realistic. In real life it is very hard to define whether a player has 20 heading or 18. It is easier to say that his heading is excellent, so I think it would be enough to make a five-point attribute display type poor (1-4), bad (5-8), average (9-12), good (13-16) and excellent (17-20) or may be even five-star system. Graphical attributes system is something similar, but it has only four points bad (1-5), average (6-10), good (11-15) and excellent (16-20), which is just a bit not enough. So Id like SI to make such system or just make attributes display more flexible for customization.
Human manager coaching skills
May be it will be some rpg-element but Id like to have coaching skills as AI managers do. In the beginning of the game human manager has 100 CA so I would prefer to distribute my CA to skills as I want. It is similar to a new hero creation process in RPG. Then, during the game, CA increases depending on your achievements, and you can increase your skills. Now, why do we need these skills? Firstly, Id like to take part in my team training as coaches and assistants do. It would be especially usefull for low-league teams, which cant afford a lot of coaches. Secondly, such attributes as Motivating and Man management are very important. It would be easier to motivate your players if you have high motivating skill, it would define how good do your players react to your pre-match and match talks. If your motivating is low, they will pay no attention to your words. High Discipline and Man management skills can help you to keep squad discipline. Players will react more positively to your warnings and fines, they also will play more disciplined and more disciplined follow your tactical instructions. (In FM 2010 they followed them better then in FM 2011. It was less realistic because players are not robots but we must have an ability to do something with this). And, finally, your skills would be important for match preparation.
Training and match preparation
Match preparation was one of the best innovations in FM 2011 for me. But it needs further improvement such as training system does. Id like training system completely redone. Id like to define myself my players routine for usual days, match days and pre-season days. Current training schedules should be replaced with certain training exercises: training match, shooting practice, pass practice, sprint session, physical training and others.
Except these exercises Id also like to set up match preparation exercises viewing with your players some of your next opposition games or viewing just key moments, telling your players about opposition key players and their strengths, may be even watching some videos about key players. The more key players you choose to talk about, the more time it takes in routine but the better your players will be prepared. Of course if you want completely study your next opposition and its players you wont have enough time. So, Id like to choose which of my future opposition I want to prepare for. For example, if I have a match against Barcelona in three weeks Id prefer to start my preparations right now two hours a day I would study my next opposition and one hour study Barcelona. It would be also great to assign different preparation exercises to different players of my team telling my strikers about Messi and how good he is with a ball is just wasting time, instead Id like my defenders and DMCs pay attention to this threat.
It would be also important to choose what match of opposition team to show your players. We know that most of the teams have different tactics and sometimes the best chance to win the game is to surprise your opponent with something they dont expect. So, if you are not sure what tactic your opposition is going to play against your team, it is better to watch more their games to see what surprises they can present. Of course it will take more time in your training and preparation schedules but it increases your chances of winning the game. In fact what Im talking is something like current match preparation screen where we have three different tactics but Id like to see also a screen where I will see possible tactics of my next opposition and how good is my team prepared to play against each of them. The same applies not only to opposition tactics but to opposition players the more my players know about them, the better they can play against them.
And one very important part of match preparation is mental preparation and motivating your players. Its pity that now the only ways we can affect it are press conferences and team talks. But such preparations do not start only on match days. They start couple of days before in fact, every day of match preparation Id like to be able to motivate somehow my players to the next game. May be something like team talks but every day on training sessions. Of course it would be important not to give contradictory team talks every day.
One of possible ways to do what Im talking about is something like pre-match screen with OI and team-talks but every day in match preparation schedule. And progress indicator like current match preparation screen to see how good are my players prepared to follow my OI against opposition players and how good their motivation is. It is pretty logical you cant just say your players for example to mark somebody tightly or close down often just before the match, you have at first to prepare your players to it.
And it would be also important to see how good each your player is doing in training and match preparations, so I would like to see may be some ratings after training sessions or something like current Training effect screen but for match preparation either, with not only effect on players attributes but their morale. In real life training results and mental readiness are the main factors defining choosing the line-up.
Of course coaching attributes of the manager will affect overall results of match preparation. If you have high Defending attribute you can better tell your players how to deal with opposition strikers and midfielders, so theyll get bigger boost in defensive attributes. If you have high Attacking attribute you can better tell your players how to deal with opposition defensive line and keeper, so theyll get bigger boost in attacking attributes.
You can tell that it would be boring and take a lot of real time to prepare this way to each game. So there must be an option to tell your assistant to deal with it. You can do this preparation yourself only before important games. And of course good preparation and training is not a guarantee that you will win the game, it should only increase your chances. In FM 2011 you can re-play the same match a lot of times with the same tactic, OI and team talks and each time result will be completely different. Sure, in real life random factors affect a lot, but FM still is more randomized. I re-played the same match several times with identical tactic, OI, team talks and every time my players performance was different. First time I won and all players had 7-7.5 rating, second I lost and my defenders had 5-5.5 rating, third I lost but my team was playing good with 6.5-7 average rating. But even more, every time my players had different motivation despite team talks were the same every time! I know, we all like winning but sometimes we have to loose. But I hate losing just because my players mood and morale are randomized! There are random events during the match in real life, but not players morale or their performance. I want to know that if my team plays bad and players have low rating it is only because I chose the wrong tactics or prepared them not good enough or motivated them badly, like in real life. But if I do everything write its not a guarantee that I will win or get a draw, but at least my players will do their best. In that case even a loose will not be sad.
Press Conferences
As others I also want further improvement of press conferences to make them more various. More answer options, may be tree-like answer system. For example at first you choose a mood of your answer and every mood has different options.
And it would be good to choose one of your players to go with you to press-conference. In real life it is a regular practice.
OI was a good idea and a great step forward in FM development. The only thing Id like to improve to tell my players what the main threat of an opposition player is. For example passing or dribbling, or heading, or tackling. And my players will pay much more attention to this action of the opposite player.
Team talks
Like press conferences Id also like to see more options in team talks. May be tree-like system either. And one more thing Id like to see an option to tell my player to concentrate on certain actions. For example pre-match talk I have faith in your ability and Concentrate on your tackling or There is no pressure and Concentrate on your passing. After first half Calm down and Your tackling was awful, concentrate on it. Of course, as I suggested, overall effect should be defined by your Motivating skill.
Match engine development
More and more teams agree that Barcelonas style is the most progressive nowadays and try to adopt it. Look at last CL match stats against Real 741 passes. It is almost impossible in FM to play such way. I dont mention that in-game Barcelona plays not even similar to the real one. And thats what Id like to see in FM 2012 more short passes, beautiful combinations and team work.
Physics improvement
I dont know is there such thing as physical engine in FM or is it just a part of a match engine, but it is the thing which disappoints me most of all. I dont see any improvements in it last years. The ball bounces of players like they are wooden. It should be improved dramatically.
Set piece editor
Id like to set-up several different options for set pieces. For example three different ways to take a corner or a free kick and my players will try all of them during the match. And one more important thing Id like to give instructions for my players themselves but not for their positions. Now when we edit our set pieces we give instructions to positions to DCs, MCs, SCs etc. And if I have a strong DC with good heading and jumping I tell him to flick on near post during the corner. But if I substitute him during the match for example with low but quick player I have to change instruction because it is attached to his position but not to himself.
Tactics screen
Somebody already wrote it it is wonderful idea to make two tactics screen: one when your team has the ball and second when you dont have the ball i.e. when you attack and when you defend. It would give much more flexibility in tactics creation. IRL managers give their instructions for players this way - when team attacks and when team defends.
Refresher courses for managers
One of the problems of FM is lack of the motivation to increase your own salary. When signing a contract with a club it is always better to sign a contract with lower salary to decrease overall team wage bill and spend more money on players. I dont know such altruistic managers in real life. Its not realistic. Since we cant buy our own clubs and spend money I have a better idea. If human manager had coaching attributes he could spend his money on some sort of refresher courses for managers. It could increase his attributes faster than in natural way. And the higher is attribute the more expensive is the course to improve it. May be it is not realistic either but it adds some motivation to our contracts and helps us to improve.
Bench camera for 3d view
It would be for the most hardcore players but Id like to watch the game like all managers do from the bench. Weve already seen a hacked Player Camera in FM 2011, so I think it wont be very difficult to make bench camera or even allow the player to customize it as he wishes.
Sorry for such big post but I hope that guys from SI will read it and may be consider something.)

The National Weather Service is warning that higher temperatures this weekend could cause the large amount of snow the area received this week to melt and lead to potential flooding.
Fort Wayne received about 9 inches of snow overnight Tuesday, added to 1 inch already on the ground. Above-freezing temperatures have some of that depth disappearing. It was 8 inches deep at Fort Wayne International Airport at 7 a.m. today.
As of 8 a.m., crews from the Fort Wayne Street Department were continuing to plow residential streets and were expected to complete neighborhood streets late Thursday, according to city spokesman Frank Su�rez. Overnight, crews plowed about 70 percent of the residential streets in the city.
Because of the heavy snowfall, residents who normally have their garbage and recycling picked up Thursday and Friday will be one day behind this week.
The National Weather Service reported that many areas across northern Indiana, northwest Ohio and parts of southwest lower Michigan received between 5 and 12 inches of snow Tuesday night.
The weather service described it as "a very wet snow with an average liquid equivalent ratio of 10 to 1." Temperatures are going to rise into the 40s Saturday-Monday leading to melting snow.
With the ground already moist and nearly saturated, the added melt could lead to increased runoff and rising river flows, according to the weather service. Rain is also possible Sunday and Monday.

Test ID: 12PTU
Protein, Total, 12 Hour, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of renal disease
Screening for monoclonal gammopathy
Screening for postural (orthostatic) proteinuria
In select clinical situations, collection of a 12-hour specimen may allow more rapid detection of proteinuria states (eg, screening pregnant patients for preeclampsia)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Protein in urine normally consists of plasma proteins that have been filtered by glomeruli and not reabsorbed by the proximal tubule, and proteins secreted by renal tubules or other accessory glands. Increased amounts of protein in the urine may be due to:
-Glomerular proteinuria: defects in permselectivity of the glomerular filtration barrier to plasma proteins (eg, glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome)
-Tubular proteinuria: incomplete tubular reabsorption of proteins (eg, interstitial nephritis)
-Overflow proteinuria: increased plasma concentration of proteins that exceeds capacity for proximal tubular reabsorption (eg, multiple myeloma, myoglobinuria)
-Urinary tract inflammation or tumor
-Orthostatic proteinuria
In pregnant women, a urinary protein excretion of >300 mg/24 hours is frequently cited as consistent with preeclampsia, and 12-hour total protein excretion highly correlates with 24-hour values in this patient population.(1,2)
Orthostatic proteinuria is characterized by increased protein excretion in the upright position, but normal levels when supine. This condition can be detected by comparing urine protein levels in a collection split between day and night (see OPTU / Orthostatic Protein, Timed Collection, Urine). Orthostatic proteinuria is common in childhood and adolescence, but rare after age 30.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<115 mg/12 hours (day or night collection)
Reference values have not been established for patients <18 years of age.
Reference values have not been established for patients >83 years of age.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Total urine protein determined to be >500 mg/24 hours should be evaluated by immunofixation to assess if there is a monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain and, if present, identify it as either kappa or lambda type.
Urinary protein levels may rise to 300 mg/24 hours in healthy individuals after vigorous exercise.
Low-grade proteinuria may be seen in inflammatory or neoplastic processes involving the urinary tract.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
False proteinuria may be due to contamination of urine with menstrual blood, prostatic secretions, or semen.
Protein electrophoresis and immunofixation may be required to characterize and interpret the proteinuria.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Should Jeep build the `Old Man Truck'?
At a recent Chrysler press event, showcasing its latest products, there was a sterling example of how Jeep creates fresh vehicles that borrow from traditional design. Standing out among a huge collection of new vehicles is a bright-red, retro-looking Jeep pickup, wearing "J12" badging with old-style lettering. It summons visions of a vehicle I've seen before, but was unsure where. [Read More]

Carolina Farm Credit
What is Farm Credit?
The Farm Credit System is a federation of approximately 100 independent, locally managed and governed, customer-owned agricultural credit cooperatives across the United States. It was established by Congress in 1916 due to a shortage of reasonably priced credit in rural areas. While the system is regulated by an independent federal agency, it receives no taxpayer funding. All system funding comes from the sale of notes and bonds on the open market. Today the system provides over $150 billion in credit and related services to agricultural and rural communities. Carolina Farm Credit is one of these 100 customer–owned cooperatives. We provide over $1.2 billion in loans and related services to homeowners, farmers, foresters, and agribusiness in 54 North Carolina counties from 37 local service centers.
Patronage Refund
As a customer-owned cooperative, a portion of our profits are returned to our customers annually through patronage refunds. While patronage refunds are never guaranteed, we have never missed a year since our first patronage refund was paid in 1988. In that period of time, we have returned over $251 million in cash to our customers. We put our profits in your pockets!
Community Involvement
Our employees are your neighbors and are actively involved in their communities, churches, and civic organizations.
Support for Ag Communities
We maintain an active outreach to young, beginning, small, and minority farmers by making financing and educational options available. We provided more than $47,000 to FFA and 4-H last year.
Experienced Loan Officers
All of our loan officers are experienced with agriculture, rural properties, and living in the country.

Montgomery County firefighters put out a fire in the rear of a Rockville home Thursday morning.
The fire did not spread beyond the back of the house in the 600 block of Douglas Avenue, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Assistant Chief Scott Graham.
Based on initial information, the home's occupants were inside when the fire started but exited safely, said Beth Anne Nesselt, a spokeswoman for the county fire and rescue service.
Nesselt said she did not know how many occupants were in the house.
Firefighters were dispatched around 7:45 a.m. and the fire was out around 10 minutes later, Nesselt said.
There were no injuries, she said.
Though the investigation on the origin and cause is ongoing, initial information indicates the fire was accidental, Nesselt said.
An estimate of the damage had not yet been made as of Thursday morning, Graham said.

I got this for our playroom. It's definitely kid sized as a bed, but works well as a couch....

Nice, small futon for playroom
I got this for our playroom. It's definitely kid sized as a bed, but works well as a couch.Read More
Jennifer M.
Very comfortable little couch. Perfect for a home office. Also lays flat, which is great for our dogs to lay on.Read More
Cocoa Velvet Like Sofa Bed
Cocoa Velvet Like Sofa Bed quality ok, color is not as dark as it looks but overall is ok.Read More
Definately not for the living room. Better spot for it would be a kids room. The couch is lower than you might think, be sure and check for that. I opened it once and there is a rod sticking out of the base over an inch. I'm sure it's too much of a pain to return. Finding a box for it. The fabric is decent and comfort..well you get what you pay for.Read More
Small sofa
Too small for teenagers to use for media room, so being stored in spare bedroom. Spring makes sitting on it very uncomfortable and forget laying down.Read More
I love my new couch!
I don't know what the others are whining about when it comes to the size of this couch\bed. It clearly states the size of the sofa in the discription. I'm 5'5" and yeah, the bottom of my legs (lower shins down) hang off the edge of it when I lay on it but it's a nice sofa\bed. I could see myself crashing on it. It's NOT a twin bed cut in half as one of the posters described it. It's not as big as a twin bed but it's not as tiny as others make it out to be. I had a small space that needed some kind of seating. I was thinking of a bench or a settee but then I saw this and thought it would be a fabulous thing to put there. It's in my living room and as I see it-it can be either a couch or an emergency crash pad for a guest. It would be better for a smaller adult or a child but anyone under 5'5" would be relatively comfortable sleeping on it for a night. In any case, it's kind of firm. I like firm so that's fine with me. The picture also makes the fabric almost look like a tight terrycloth like or suade sort of fabric. It's not close to either. The fabric is a nice fabric but not what I had pictured from the description and also, I think the color of it is a bit lighter than it looks in the picture. All in all, I'm happy with my little bed\sofa. It looks very nice with two decorative pillows and I'm using a throw cover on it to protect it from my dogs. I'm glad I got this instead of a bench or settee or a love seat. I would recommend this to someone looking for a couch the size of a love seat and having the convenience of being able to adjust the position and using it as a bed for a smaller adult\child or even something like a dog bed. (I have two big dogs and they fit perfectly on it.) Lol, then again, my dogs are spoiled. :DRead More
Cheap and breaks quickly
The sofa is attractive, but does not have a middle reclining position. After 5 months of use, the "steel" bars that support the sofa broke in 4 different places. The breaks poke you when you sit or lay on the sofa. It's complete junk! I weight less than 160 pounds--this is unreasonable! Overstock would not offer any compensation or assistance without the purchase of an extended warranty...apparently, 5 months is "extended" use for a sofa. Buy something (or somewhere) else!Read More
this is poorly consrtucted , difficult to raise up and down I expected small but this is toyland I was using for my grand children anyway I would not put this in anything but the basement playroom. This is not a sofa bed for adults too shortRead More
Great Little Sofa
I had a limited space and budget when I was looking for a new sleeper sofa. I came across this one, it was the right size and price. Didn't look cheep in the photos and most of the reviews were good. The material is great. All you have to do is screw the legs on, the back ratchets up and poof your done. I'm 5'6" and can lay on it comfortably with my legs slightly bent. I wouldn't sleep on it for any length of time but for guests for a night or too shouldn't be an issue. My daughter can't wait for a bigger room to get one for her friends to sleep on. It is low to the floor but comfortalble to sit on and not hard to get up from. I'm very happy with this little sofa!Read More
Handy sofa bed!
This sofa bed is firm yet soft (if that makes sense)...as far as comfort goes. I use it as a back up in case my daughter has a sleepover. I would say it is a little on the short side if an adult were to sleep on it, but it works great for other ages. It seems sturdy also. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. The packaging for this sofa bed was outstanding!! I could see this sofa bed in a small loft, studio apartment, or a college dorm room, but it may not work if you have a tall adult spending the night. I absolutely love the color of this sofa bed.Read More

Hello 1643fuji, I will request an image of the back of this sofa. We will update the site if this becomes available. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day.
It is not a straight back like regular sofas. This one has the black flat bottom which when in bed position it lays down on. I used it for extra setting in my computer/sapare room. After using it as a bed during Hurricane Sandy for guests. Two nail heads keep sticking out of one side of the sofa. I pray it never tares through. I will be very upset and dissapointed.

Sidekick to Hero to God: Prince of Power #4 [Review]
Amadeus Cho finally got a chance to step into the spotlight with his own miniseries in "Prince of Power." Written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, with art by Reilly Brown and Adam Archer, the series concluded with its fourth issue this week and set the stage for the upcoming events of the "Chaos War" cross-title event. Cho has been a great
