The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
John Dillard grew up on a beef cattle farm and now works as an agricultural and environmental litigation attorney with OFW Law. His blog analyzes legal issues and court decisions that affect America's farmers and ranchers.
Is your feedlot being monitored by an activist group? Do environmentalist groups conduct flyover inspections of your property or search your reports to environmental agencies in hopes of finding a "paper violation"? Thanks to the folks at the EPA, it will be much easier for these groups to do so in the future.
Earlier this month, EPA released information it had been secretly collecting on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to anti-CAFO groups including Earthjustice, the Pew Charitable Trust, and the Natural Resource Defense Council. This information includes the addresses of operations, names and contact information for operators. It also could contain information regarding operations, such as capacity and how manure is stored and applied. Environmental activists intend to use this information to monitor operations and bring litigation against farmers that they believe are violating environmental laws. We can also expect these activist groups to create a public database of operations similar to the Environmental Working Group's listing of farmers and ranchers that receive government payments. All of this is intended to achieve the environmentalists' end goal – shutting down CAFOs in the United States.
How Did This Happen?
Section 308 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) allows EPA to gather information from businesses and individuals to carry out the goals of the CWA. One caveat, however, is that any information (minus trade secrets) gathered by EPA under Section 308 is also available to the general public. In 2010, EPA entered into a settlement agreement with environmentalist groups where it promised to develop a regulation where it would gather information regarding CAFOs under its Section 308 authority. In July 2012, after facing strong opposition from both farm groups and the Department of Homeland Security over privacy and bioterrorism concerns, EPA relented and decided not to implement the data gathering rule. It seemed that the idea of a public national CAFO database was finally put to rest.
EPA, however, knows that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Without the fanfare of a relatively transparent public rulemaking, EPA secretly requested state environmental agencies to submit information that they held on animal feeding operations within their state. More than 30 states submitted information on operations; oftentimes states included information on farms that do not qualify as CAFOs under the CWA. Farmers, ranchers, and farm groups did not have knowledge that this information gathering was taking place.
Although America's farmers and ranchers were kept in the dark, environmental groups were privy to the knowledge that this information gathering took place. These groups submitted a request for this information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which EPA complied with. Thus, these activist groups have access to data on CAFOs from over 30 states. While these activists could have submitted information requests under state "sunshine" or FOIA laws to individual states, EPA's secret data gathering made these activists job much easier.
The Implications
It's unclear exactly how this will play out, but those in animal agriculture could face increased scrutiny from activists. The CWA allows private citizens and groups to bring enforcement actions against CAFOs they believe have violated the CWA. Activist groups can bring private enforcement suits for violations ranging from illegal discharges to failure to meet submission deadlines for paperwork. Even if an operation is in compliance with the CWA, the cost associated with defending against a frivolous lawsuit can be steep. With easy access to a database of CAFOs across the country, we can expect to see the number of lawsuits filed by activist groups and opportunistic plaintiff's attorneys to increase.
John Dillard is an attorney with Olsson Frank Weeda Terman Matz P.C. (OFW Law), a Washington, DC-based firm that serves agricultural clients and clients with issues before federal and state courts, EPA, FDA, USDA, and OSHA. John focuses his practice on agricultural and environmental law. He occasionally tweets at @DCAgLawyer.
We all want transparency in government... What is wrong with transparency in business, especially when the environment is at risk?... Your off base here. The only ones who hide are the ones that need to... Sorry your annoyed, but the only way you can be hurt is if you are breaking the law...
Sorry, just joined this site, felt I needed to post here cause I'm confused... never done this before, learning though.
It sounds like you´re saying that the government shouldn't release this information becuase then activists will use it to help the government find out people are breaking the law? And protect the environment?
I am a farmer. The last thing I want is people snooping on my land. But its also the last thing I expect. Because I don't believe I am doing anything to break the law or to get people upset.
I like that we have the an Environment Protection Agency. My farm IS the environment. I live from it. And my kids. And their kids. I don't want to have to worry that my kid's kids will get cancer one day because someone got away with throwing pollution in the stream. Do you? I don't care if that persons a farmer or isn't. They shouldn't do that to the streams my kids live from.
God gave us dominion not to do what WE want with it but to do what HE wants with it. Do you think God wants this?
"Frivolous" lawsuits would be a real shame. But explain how this would be the result of this action. I think it would be the exception. I would think the main result would be activists (likely other parents like myself. I try not to use labels on people before I remember their also people) trying to protect their kid's streams. And I think thats an honorable thing that God would love.
But maybe I just dont get it.

ZX Fitness recently closed one of its clubs but has plans to open a new club in the spring in the Charlotte, NC, area.
Charlotte-based ZX Fitness, which offers memberships as low as $10 a month, closed its Harrisburg, NC, club on Jan. 21. In a letter to members sent before the closure, President Ron Poliseno said that the company was unable to sign a new lease with the landlord of the building that housed the club. ZX Fitness upgraded Harrisburg memberships to the company's Metro memberships, which include access to all club locations, group fitness classes and two personal training sessions.
ZX Fitness says it will make a formal announcement about its new club opening sometime in February.
A report by a Charlotte TV station earlier this month said that the company, formerly known as Peak Fitness, was under investigation by the Attorney General's office and received member complaints from the Better Business Bureau regarding billing practices and closing clubs with no notice to members. (The report no longer is on the station's website.) ZX Fitness says the company's membership services department has contacted both offices to resolve any outstanding issues and has a meeting scheduled with the Charlotte Better Business Bureau in early February to resolve current issues.

The past two days, this new ad has aired during The Today Show. At two minutes long, it's hard to miss, hitting the airwaves just one day after the New Yorker's damning profile of the organization hit the stands. Coincidence? Not a chance.
At least the music is all uplifting and nice.

ReleasesBack to
Gene Harris
Recorded in 1970 but not released until 1996, Live At the "It Club" shows the Three Sounds pulling out funky, gritty rhythms out of their basic bluesy hard-bop sound. The group's funky influences are most noticeable in the rhythm section of drummer Carl Burnette and bassist Henry Franklin, who had been playing with Harris for only a short time when this set was recorded. The rhythm section pushes Harris, making the music loose and swinging -- the groove matters more than anything on the album. Occasionally, the energy of the Three Sounds lags, but Live at the "It Club" is an enjoyable piece of grooving soul-jazz.

A first-in-the-nation quality certification
Sentara Healthcare is the first healthcare system in the country to receive multi-site certification in the ISO 9001 Quality Management system from its accrediting body, DNV-GL. The certification, presented June 27, 2016, includes 12 Sentara hospitals in Virginia and North Carolina, more than 300 integrated sites of care, the company's in-house supply chain system and its redesigned human resources division, now called HR solutions. ISO 9001 is the International Standards Organization, which supports consistent application of best practices in quality and safety in a variety of industrial and business disciplines, including health care.
"This certification validates our processes and promotes accountability," said Deloris Cooper, director of accreditation and regulatory standards for Sentara Healthcare. "It reflects our focus on patients and our commitment to reduce variability and increase consistency through rapid deployment of best practices across our system."
The first of three strategic imperatives in the Sentara Healthcare strategic plan is "Always Improving." High performance design teams push Sentara toward clinical performance improvements that enhance outcomes and the patient experience. The system's goal for a decade has been top 10 percent performance in key national clinical measures. The system is also focused on population management and best practices around management of chronic diseases.
"Sentara is paving a path for other health systems to follow," said John Cooke, senior lead auditor for DNV-GL. "A multi-site certification in ISO 9001 has been unheard of and Sentara Healthcare has brought a focus on continual improvement to all of its corporate functions."
DNV-GL is a global organization focused on management of risk and rapid change and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as an accrediting agency for hospitals and health systems.
"We started this journey with a pilot at one of our hospitals in 2010," added Cooper. "This system certification, and our maintenance of it, helps ensure we are delivering safe, efficient, effective care with a focus on service and our patients."

HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — We're only approaching 10 games in, but that doesn't mean it's too early to eyeball some concerning trends that could quickly become disturbing. I've pinpointed five players I believe have left something to be desired. Each is an established veteran who entered this season with a new and exciting situation, and high expectations.
1. Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets
Supposedly happy in Houston, Howard's stats — 18.2 ppg and 14.9 rpg — certainly look All-Star worthy. But take a deeper look. He's shooting 53.6 percent from the floor, a mark not seen since his first two seasons in the league — and four percentage points lower than last season when he complained the Lakers didn't get him the ball in his sweet spots. Yes, he and the Rockets, just 5-4, are adjusting, and this could take time, but Howard has looked awkward on the block and is shooting just 37 percent in the paint, per NBA.com stats. More discouraging is his free-throw shooting. He said he wanted to shoot between 75 and 80 percent — which was laughable. Instead he's dragging a career-low 47.9 percent. Teams are already employing the Hack-a-Howard tactic and the Rockets are seeing how frustrating it is to have a big man who can't make free throws in crunch time. They've been awful trying to close out games. And Hack-a-Howard isn't just a late-game tactic anymore. The Sixers intentionally fouled him late in the first half of Wednesday's game. Howard's old club, the severely undermanned Lakers without Kobe Bryant, essentially won their game at Houston because Howard couldn't make free throws when fouled on purpose.
There's more. Where is the chiseled, 265-pound Howard's passion? His passivity against the Lakers was mind-boggling, and running away from Lakers players attempting to intentionally foul him was embarrassing.

2. JaVale McGee, Denver Nuggets
A forgettable start to the season got worse with a stress fracture to his left shin that will sideline McGee indefinitely. A sluggish start might not rank high on the surprise list for many, but if there was ever a time the 7-footer was going to put it together, this seemed it. His new coach Brian Shaw was moving away from George Karl's up-tempo, dribble-drive offense to a more traditional, low-post system. McGee spent much of the offseason working on his game, seemingly determined to bury, on the court at least, his goofball reputation. Prior to the start of training camp he told NBA.com: "It's up to me to work and everything, and I'm going to do that. So if I work hard and I come prepared and in shape for training camp, there's nothing that can stop me but the coach."
It didn't take Shaw long to apply the brakes, trusting McGee to even fewer minutes than Karl. In five starts, McGee averaged 7.0 ppg and 3.4 rpg in 15.8 mpg. He shot 43.6 percent. Denver, 3-4 after starting 1-4, traded Kosta Koufos to Memphis anticipating McGee's rise. Recovering from the stress fracture only complicates McGee's path to improvement. He's in the second year of a $44 million contract, which so far looks like a very expensive mistake by the Nuggets.

3. Tyreke Evans, New Orleans Pelicans
Evans' fresh start away from Sacramento dysfunction was supposed to be a breath of fresh air for the fifth-year combo guard. The Pelicans hyped the sixth-man role behind Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon and it made sense. Evans can score and going against other second units would seem a great idea. An ankle injury slowed him early into the preseason and it's been slow-going ever since. Evans is averaging a career-low 9.0 ppg and is logging a career-low 24.0 mpg. His shooting has been abysmal, 36.2 percent overall and 12.5 percent from beyond the arc. Evans has never truly been a high-volume 3-point shooter and he's never shot it with considerable accuracy, but really, he could probably make 12.5 percent blindfolded.
This has to concern the Pelicans' front office if trading Gordon, who always seems to be on the block, is still a consideration later this season. Even Evans' free-throw percentage is suffering. A 76.4-percent shooter from the stripe over his career, he's only at 66.7 percent. The team's overall optimism that sprouted from a successful preseason has been shrouded by a 3-6 start, including Wednesday's demoralizing loss at previously winless Utah.
VIDEO: Tyreke Evans on the Pelicans' deep roster
4. Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets
This is Williams' second season as the maxed-out point guard Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban claims he's happy to have lost out on two summers ago. Since Williams signed his five-year, $98-million contract to stay with the Nets, he has not produced like a max player, with either injuries or coaching fit being the culprit. Williams is averaging 11.1 ppg — lowest by a long shot since his rookie season) and 7.4 apg. He's the quarterback of a team built for instant contention with All-Star (Joe Johnson) and Hall of Fame (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett) talent, albeit aging talent outside of center Brook Lopez, yet another All-Star. Williams was again hobbled by an ankle issue during the preseason and he still might be gimpy. Meshing won't happen overnight, but the level at which the Nets, 2-5, have played (i.e. losing by 21 at Sacramento on Wednesday) should be deeply concerning to Russian billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who will shell out close to $190 million in payroll and luxury tax this season.
If anybody knows how to get Williams going it should be his rookie coach and No. 1 golfing buddy Jason Kidd. Kidd has to figure out how to get Williams in his comfort zone, to allow him to create and use his size to his advantage, while also getting the rest of this cast involved. Maybe then Williams will exude the confident, follow-me persona of a leader that just isn't there.

5. Rudy Gay, Toronto Raptors
Starting from scratch with playoff-hopeful Toronto, Gay still can't shake the inefficiency thing. Yes, he's averaging 19.7 ppg and 7.2 rpg, which look great. But with Gay, as the stat geeks remind, you have to look deeper to see that he's averaging those 19.7 ppg on 19.8 field-goal attempts. He's connecting at just a 36.5-percent rate. He is shooting 38.9 percent from beyond the arc, a mark bolstered by going 7-for-14 in the last two games, including 4-for-6 Wednesday night to get the Raptors to 4-5 at the expense of his former team, the struggling Memphis Grizzlies. But since he shoots mostly mid-range jumpers, the overall percentage is stark. In an overtime loss at Houston, Gay reached rare inefficient air when he finished with 29 points on 37 shot attempts — 8-for-29 inside the arc; 3-for-8 behind it.
During the offseason Gay had eye surgery to correct a pretty serious vision problem, and, realizing he had to get his shooting percentages up, went to work with his personal trainer for hours each day at his old high school gym in Baltimore. As he put it to NBA.com: "Honestly, I had two bad years of shooting the ball and this last year was really bad, so I just had to go back to the basics. It wasn't as much my eye sight as it was my form." Unfortunately for Gay, so far his shooting percentage has only worsened.

In abreast times, about as a cultural practice, apprenticeship has been animated to the akin of an admission rite into the avant-garde world. With the aid of bookish educational training, humans access the abilities of account and writing. It is accessible that literacy, the adeptness to apprehend and write, has become a requisite for arresting with abundant challenges of avant-garde times. As a action for ensuring that no adolescent is denied the befalling of accepting bookish education, not sending a adolescent to academy is a bent answerability in some locations of the world, abnormally in the West. In addition, some governments abetment their citizens to access bookish apprenticeship by either subsidising the amount or authoritative it accessible at no amount (at the basal level, at least).
It is absurd to fit into the avant-garde times if one does not go to school. Consequently, apprenticeship is a necessity, not a luxury. People's attitude to apprenticeship in abreast time appears to suggest, in allegiance to Platonism, that it is bigger to be approaching than to be uneducated. The appeal for apprenticeship in altered locations of the apple is unarguably on circadian increase. Humans accomplish abundant sacrifices to access education. Parents are accommodating to accord all they accept in adjustment to see their accouchement through school. Some humans biking to adopted countries in adjustment to access superior educational training. Accepting bookish apprenticeship has become one of the greatest priorities in activity today.
However, admitting the advanced accepting bookish apprenticeship has acquired all over the world, one of the a lot of cogent questions about apprenticeship that is generally not asked is, "What is the appliance of apprenticeship to applied life?' In added words, to what admeasurement is apprenticeship accessible in acclamation applied activity challenges? This catechism needs to be asked because the accepted impacts of apprenticeship are absent is the activity of abounding accomplished people. One of the factors that allege actual eloquently on this is that apprenticeship has continuously remained clumsy to advance the accepted of active of abundant graduates.
It is acute to acknowledgment that apprenticeship is a agency to an end, but not an end in itself. The association of this is that apprenticeship is a action that leads to the authoritative of a product. The action is abridged afterwards the product. It is the artefact that gives amount to the means. The superior of the action can be accepted from the superior of the product. As a means, apprenticeship is abridged afterwards the end of the process. This end is the purpose it (education) is advised to serve (under ideal situation). Let us absolve our affirmation that the accepted impacts of apprenticeship are absent is the activity of abounding accomplished humans by analytical a actual acute aspect of activity of accomplished people, their finances.
How abounding accomplished humans are absolutely financially successful? A lot of graduates attempt all through activity to accomplish ends meet, but to no avail. There are abundant humans who accelerating from tertiary institutions (even at the top of the class), but who are far beneath abounding humans with lower educational training (academic intelligence and bookish ability) than endemic in the ladder of banking success. Perhaps, banking struggles and crises are worse a part of accomplished people. A lot of accomplished humans attempt all through their alive years alone to accomplish ends meet, but to no avail, and end as liabilities during their retirement.
The disability of apprenticeship to abetment graduates in managing absolute activity challenges is abiding in the actuality that a lot of humans are apprenticed of the purpose of education. Why do we go to school? Why should humans go to school? What is the purpose of education? What is the account of education? What are the objectives of education? Why should parents forward their accouchement to school? Apprenticeship is one of the a lot of abused or, rather, blurred animal experiences. Unless the purpose of apprenticeship is accepted and clarified, the chain of its corruption (by a lot of people) will abide inevitable. Abounding humans go to academy for the amiss reasons. In addition, a lot of parents forward their accouchement to academy for the amiss reasons. A lot of humans accept erroneous conceptions about the objectives of education.
It is acute to acknowledgment that this botheration is abiding in the actuality that the above allurement for traveling to academy in the ancient canicule of its birth in altered locations of the apple was that it was a admission to prosperity. This was accessible again because application opportunities abound for accomplished humans then. But things accept changed, and actual significantly. In a lot of locations of the apple today, there is top akin of unemployment a part of accomplished people. Thus, apprenticeship does not agreement banking success anymore. In fact, apprenticeship has become a above could cause of poverty, because the actuality that it has no accouterment for instilling the ability of abundance apperception attempt in students.
It is top time the purpose of apprenticeship is reconsidered. The abstraction of traveling to academy in adjustment to access affidavit should be denounced, if the training will advance the activity of accomplished people. The abstraction of traveling to academy in adjustment to adapt for advantageous application should aswell be denounced because there are bound application opportunities for absolute graduates. If academy prepares graduates for employment, but there are bound application opportunities for absolute graduates, it agency that academy prepares acceptance for unemployment. This is why the apperception that academy alone prepares acceptance for advantageous application is unacceptable.
The ideal purpose of apprenticeship is to facilitate an basic development of the animal being – the intellectual, moral, physical, social, spiritual, brainy and cerebral ambit of man. Traveling to academy should facilitate the optimum development of all the aspects of the animal person. An ideal educational arrangement should not abstract any aspect of man in the training process, nor accede some aspects added important than others. Anything abbreviate of this is an aberration, and is unacceptable.
Every educational action should be able to abetment acceptance to advance their abeyant potential. Any educational action that does not accomplish this cold is useless. If the apperception is developed, it is able to analyze and break problems for altruism and, consequently, be compensated with reward. Money is alone the accolade for analytic problems. Any alum who cannot break problems in the association lacks the accommodation for abundance creation. This is a actuality a lot of graduates are apprenticed of.
Education will abetment graduates to become blessed and accomplished in activity if it is structured to facilitate the optimum development of their minds. If this is done, apprenticeship will accouter graduates with the requisite abilities to survive the bread-and-butter battles and challenges of absolute life. It is actual aching to acknowledgment that apprenticeship has remained clumsy to serve applied purpose because a lot of of the things the academy arrangement advise acceptance are things they do not charge to survive in the absolute life. In added words, a lot of acceptance absorb years in academy acquirements things that will not be advantageous to them if academy canicule are over. The body of this absence in the educational arrangement is that the humans who are a lot of anxious in the educational area are apprenticed of its existence.
One of the key objectives of apprenticeship is empowerment. If the educational arrangement is restructured to accomplish this purpose, graduates will become assets, but not liabilities, no amount the circumstances. Such an educational action will abetment acceptance to actualize jobs if they are clumsy to get jobs if they become graduates. As beforehand remarked, apprenticeship is a process, and every action is abridged afterwards a product. The superior of a artefact is the a lot of reliable accepted for ascertaining the superior of the action that produced it. There is burning charge to restructure the educational arrangement to ensure that that the training it instills in acceptance abundantly empowers them to finer accost activity challenges, abnormally if academy canicule are over.
Despite the actuality that the after-effects of the deficiencies of the educational arrangement in its present anatomy accounts for the animal adventures of a lot of graduates in the absolute life, the government has continuously approved accretion amateurishness in acclamation this challenge. Consequently, it has become accessible that graduates who anxiously admiration a bright, auspicious and blessed activity accept to access Supplementary Apprenticeship on their own afore their academy training will accept the adapted aftereffect in their life. It aswell implies that acceptance should aswell go above what they are accomplished in the chic if they are aboveboard amorous about blessed in the absolute apple (I.e activity afterwards school).

The Glee Project Canceled After Two Seasons

text: It's not just late-night scary movies that are keeping children up.According to a new study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, when parents cut their preschoolers' exposure to violent or age-inappropriate videos, their children sleep better. "One of the things that's exciting to me is that if families want to make these changes, it doesn't require going to the doctor's office or going to a person's home," lead author Michelle Garrison told Reuters Health from Seattle's Children's Research Institute. Instead, parents can make a simple change at home that can amount to a substantial improvement in their little one's ability to get a good night's sleep by being mindful of what he or she is watching throughout the day. The study, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, included 565 Seattle-area children between the ages of 3 and 5, and was conducted over the course of 18 months. Some of the parents -- the intervention group -- were encouraged to replace violent and age-inappropriate media content with "quality educational and prosocial content." Case managers made initial home visits to all participants and then followed up with monthly telephone calls for 12 months. All families were given a "child sleep habits" questionnaire to complete at six, 12 and 18 months from the start of the study. The results showed that though a delay in getting to sleep is the most common child sleep problem, the children in the intervention group experienced lower odds of having any sleep problems. The results reinforce the previously reported relationship between media use and child sleep patterns as causal in nature, the report said. And the effects of healthy media use intervention on child sleep problems are "significant." The latest study seems also to indicate that it's not just about when a child watches violent or age-inappropriate content that affects how they sleep, it is whether the child watches the images at all that influences their sleep outcomes. By the 18-month mark of the study, however, the gains made by the media intervention had diminished in comparison with data collected at six and 12 months. Researchers said the decline suggests families may need continued support in choosing healthy media options for their children.

If Arthas is even half as hard as Illidan then it won't be random noobs who take him down.
I'm looking forward to the expansion. Death Knights look pretty cool, the new continent will be great (I'm a full explorer on the Bartle test), and the new Inscribing profession sounds neat - I may switch one of my characters over from a job I've grown tired of, like tailoring or blacksmithing.

I don't think the problem isn't that "nihilum HAXXORS" or "noobs" can kill arthas.
The problem is : arthas is no way in hell possible to be killed by 25 guys. this is also applied with archimonde, illidan, vashj, Kael'thas, etc
Lore wise, they are simply beefy hero, and it is hard to admit they let these killed with some weird devices.
granted, they actually put the "wisps" for archimonde, and maiev for Illidan in WOW, but these 2 points don't really fill the "lame death" that many fans felt with their death.
i believe they aren't easy boss, but the way how they are "available" and "killeable" have many "i'm a loot boss", rather "BOOYA, i'm the biggest baddy on azeroth!"
if they begun to let Ashara (and things like that) being killed, i believe Metzen should wake up, because the lore just get more and more destroyed at this rate.

Vashj is Queen Azshara's first lady, have lived many millenia, and even survived The Sundering. at the very least, she is on par with Tyrande Whisperwind during the War of ancients. If we add the mutation into naga, and the chaotic arcane fest in the Maelsrom, that is rather a BIG cocktail.
As for Kael'thas, well... considering how is his prowess with the kirin tor, and later on, his association with illidan, it is safe to assume he is kinda equal to Jaina Proudmoore.
again, i can be wrong with K'T, but Vashj isn't really a weakling..."

Kael'Thas has always been a weakling, easily manipulated, and more or less out of control with his magic. He clung to Illidan, then the burning legion (or what was left of it) and more or less went nuts.
As for Vashj, Tyrande is an absolute wuss. Illidan and Arthas though have been at the forefront and have slaughtered countless. Considering that Illidan has singlehandedly slaughtered Tichondrius and slain countless of other demons or nearly (Magtheridon), that's badass. Arthas's actions speak for themselves.
For those two to simply get swarmed by silly nameless adventurers and taken down by a far less powerful character is just pathetic. Maiev needed an army to capture Illidan, and even then later got pwnt by two wusses.
Somehow it doesn't sit well with me that the man I've been playing through three campaigns (Arthas) and the perhaps only character in all of warcraft lore that has straddled the fence in terms of good and evil (Illidan) and has emerged so powerful for it, could be just so easily offed by random morons.
No, it does not sit well with me at all.

From the opposite perspective - if the game consisted of 60/70/80 lvls of killing beasts and minions and then didn't give you a crack at the top guys, there really wouldn't be any point in playing at all. Regardless of their relative power levels - which seem to fluctuate at the whim of the storyline anyway - the whole reason to use the Warcraft world for the game is to give players access to that lore and those characters. Given how popular it's been, it only makes sense for Blizzard to keep adding these guys in.
Who knows, the 14th expansion might let you go to lvl 200 and fight against the gods themselves... and Blizzard could still release a Warcraft IV and say none of it ever happened. It's their property, after all, and they can make as many different canons/alternate timelines as they like.

I played Shadowbane for a while but they had problems with server worlds collapsing into 'one guild' ownership, with large-scale battles, and basic network connections.
Camelot almost kept me but my sons wandered off. We played Neocron a while (sci-fi setting) ... very nice attempt at pseudo-FPS and atmosphere but they lacked the capital to really fire it off. Horizons was just... empty.
I was dragged in the WoW beta by my sons (I had returned to EQ) and.... fell in love with the Troll race. I have characters in each race/class/side and tend to stick to the RP or RP-PVP servers (though Blizzard's RP moderation sucks like most MMOs seem to).
I had dropped WoW for a while (trying D&D Online) til my son's girlfriend enticed me back with the new story content in BL.
The main server I play on is quite old, which means there's rather little competition for the 1-60 content, the only downside is that the AH sucks for people under lvl 40 anymore with inflation and lack of items.
I have a few characters working from lvl 60 to 70 at the moment and some new characters --- that's my main failure: I character hop.

Frankly, I think that for 95% of the WoW fanbase, if you replaced Illidan with Spongebob Squarepants or Hello Kitty, it wouldn't matter to them. Nihilum's website would read: SPONGEBOB DOWN! FIRST WORLD KILL! instead of Illidan.
At heart, WoW is a hack and slash, and that IMO belongs in the diablo universe.
The most ironic thing about this is that if you keep on clicking on Illidan in his winged model, he says:
"Wings, horns, hooves...what is this, diablo?!"
And stupidly enough, Illidan went down no different than Diablo...just as another boss in the way of raiders for loot.
Metzen needs to get a reality check and realize he's killing everything by slaughtering lore characters out of the RTSs and replacing them with essentially "Bob the Destroyer" type characters--aka new characters that come out of nowhere simply to get plowed over by the next big raid party.

In a way, that's precisely my point. There's going to have to be a boss of some kind for everybody to aim for, whether it be Illidan or Spongebob. It really doesn't matter what they call him, except to that 5% the want the game to stick to a lore that was hashed out by committee and a backstory that was written on the fly in the first place. It's not a sacred text, and I'm sure they'll come up with something else to replace these guys - just like the Lich King replaced Ner'zhul and Illidan replaced Magtheridon, there will be a new generation of baddies to deal with.

I liked the announcement of the Death Knight. They're going to introduce the class-specific rune system which seems pretty novel from what they described, and it makes me hopeful to see other WarIII hero classes... in further 40-50$ expansions. The addition of a world pvp zone will be fun as well.

You people just don't want to let go of old and powerful characters you're fond of. In WoW, a maximum level toon with good gear -is- a hero unit, so to speak. Generalizing WoW players into mindless loot whores is pretty stupid, too. I personally am an avid WoW fan and know pretty much everything about Warcraft lore, even having read some of the novels.
Yeah, Arthas and Illidan are very powerful... but do you think you can simply waltz into an end-game boss fight? Your character must journey through other dungeons, take down lesser monsters, etc, etc, working his way up in power (which is embodied by gear in-game). 25 'hero' units with legendary gear and renowned skill should definitely be able to take down Illidan, and perhaps even Arthas.

Being one that plays the game and read the lore for fun o.o... Arthas IS one of the most powerful being in the universe (world? correct me if I'm wrong). But it doesn't he is invincible. Yes, it may be stupid to have Arthas to be killable by 25 non-famous people, but it isn't wont necessarily HAVE to be 25 people. For all we know Blizzard can make it a 40 man or 35 man. There are many things that still haven't been released about it.
Concerning the Death Knight, I am thinking that there will be a "Hero Class" for every regular class, for example (Pally ----> Death Knight) or something along those lines.
And what I think should be put into the game is a Barber NPC or Plastic Surgeon NPC because my character is ugly as is and is in need of a new hair style or new face...
There are rumors of there being a new instance in TBC (Burning Crusade) Also, known as Zul'Aman in the Ghostlands (Told to me from a IRL friend). There are no definite answers to which instances will be included. Though I am guessing that in a future patch or in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, there will be a new instance added to the CoT (Caverns of Time). If you look to the left of the Black Morass Instance, there is a little place blocked off by a ship. If you look high enough you can see a portal that leads into an instance. Judging by the ship wreak I am guessing that it will be and event that took place before like in WarIII: TFT Act 1 where everyone is searching for Saegares' Eye (I most likely spelt that wrong but mehh..) or what I'm am hoping is some pirate instance =].

For the sake of gameplay, they cannot be invinsible, but as for the lore, they are way under what they are supposed to be (especially Illidan, who doesn't look being able to maintain his Demonic Form, etc)
@striding cloud
1) it has been stated that since BC, Wow raid will be restricted to 25, for lag and organization issues.
2) As for the Hero class, it appears they will do another approach instead of "upgrade of X class". Also, according Blizzard, "hero class" doesn't mean it is a more powerful class than the 9 "regular classes".

Yeah, didn't really pay attention to the 25man stuffs xD. And well I didn't really say anything about them being more powerful, they will just have more unique skills etc etc. As for Zul'Aman I'm pretty sure it was to be cleared in 3 hours, 5 bosses and depending on how fast you finish the loots will be different or something like that.

Zul'Aman isn't really a rumor anymore. It's a 10 man raid, due out with the next patch (2.2), and said to be more difficult but also "more casual" than Karazahn, by which they seem to mean that with only 6 bosses it should take a mere 2-3 hours to finish compared to Kara's 5-6. The first 4 bosses are all aspects of a different forest troll god (dragonhawk, lynx, bear and eagle), then a witch doctor and finally Zul'jin, the troll chieftain from Warcraft II.
For a bit more info you can try this page. Personally I'm nowhere close to ever finishing Karazahn, and have trouble imagining a more difficult set of fights, but the area sounds pretty cool.

The Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion, founded on the Wabash campus in 1996, celebrated a milestone Wednesday night. Dr. Morris L. Davis, Associate Dean at Drew University Theological School, became the 1000th person to participate in the Center's life-changing and career-defining work.
In toasting the Center's success, Wabash's Dean Gary A. Phillips said, "For the Wabash Center, it is fitting and proper that we acknowledge an individual rather than a date or particular workshop. The heart of the Wabash Center mission is direct support of teachers engaged in the transformative work of teaching and learning in religion and theology. That means concretely support of persons, women and men, whose calling is to serve students and their education as classroom teachers."
Founded by Raymond B. Williams, LaFollette Distinguished Professor in the Humanities Emeritus, and funded wholly by Lilly Endowment Inc., the Wabash Center works closely with faculty and administrators across the country to strengthen teaching and learning in undergraduate, graduate, and seminary schools in the areas of theology and religion.
The milestone event included a gathering of Wabash Center staff, representatives from Lilly Endowment and Wabash College, and current workshop participants on the patio of the Center's lovely building on campus.
"I was stunned to hear we'd reached 1,000 participants," said Dr. Williams. "I didn't have any idea it would continue on this long. We got a three-year grant, then we got another one, and it just continued. We were only promised three years at a time and I never imagined we'd have a building."
The building, important as it is, is secondary to the incredible work that happens within its walls.
"With every passing year, the circle of those touched by the Wabash Center's influence and programs grows larger," said Wabash President Patrick E. White. "We celebrate with the sure knowledge that each participant, from the first through the most recent, has been profoundly changed by their experience and will continue to influence hundreds of others. In this way the Wabash Center's focus on transforming teachers one at a time in collaborative small groups and through welcoming and challenging conversations has done nothing less than effect a quiet but powerful revolution in the teaching and learning of theology and religion, thus bringing new life to vital aspects of American culture."
Dr. Nadine "Dena" Pence, the Director of the Wabash Center, said the 1,000 faculty who have participated in on-campus workshops and colloquies come from 400 different institutions and many religious traditions and subject disciplines. The Wabash Center, too, has given 1,171 fellowships and grants to faculty in religious and theological studies totaling nearly $13 million, and the Center's journal, Teaching Theology and Religion, has published articles by nearly 400 authors. The Wabash Center's staff members have participated in more than 225 on-site consultations at schools across the country.
"Since 1996, the Wabash Center has been known for provoking conversations about teaching and learning, and providing hospitable space for those conversations to happen in a sustained manner," Dr. Pence said. "In an environment of higher education where conversations about teaching and learning are frequently absent, these conversations, practices, and networks of support sustain the faculty members as they negotiate questions about student learning, institutional mission, and vocational goals."
Among the guests was Chris Coble, Vice President of Religion of Lilly Endowment, who credited Dr. Williams' vision, the excellence of the Center's directors (Williams, Pence, and Lucinda Huffaker), and the program's attention to detail.
"When I started at the endowment in 1997, Craig Dykstra, then our Vice President of Religion, gave me a stack of proposals that he thought were exemplary proposals so a new program officer would know what to look for," Coble said. "On the top of the stack was a proposal prepared by Raymond for the Wabash Center. I was amazed in reading the proposal not only at how well it was put together, but also by the attention to detail… I think this is symbolic of the attention to detail, especially the attention to hospitality and how to host a conversation that this place is about."
Dr. Morris Davis, Dean for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor at Drew University Theological School, unknowingly became the symbol of the Wabash Center's celebration. He's among a group of a dozen deans working together this week on the Wabash campus, and he was literally the 1,000th workshop participant to "cross the threshold." When Dr. Sarah Drummond, Dean of Andover Newton Theological Seminary, left her luggage at the van, Dr. Davis went to retrieve it. As a result of his kind deed, Davis became participant number 1,000 (Drummond was 999).
"It was a big surprise, that's for sure," Davis said. "It just depended upon who got out of the van last. Sarah dropped her bags, I picked them up; she was 999 and I was 1,000. They had confetti bombs going off when I crossed. We'd heard about the hospitality of this place, but wow!"
Aside from his surprise welcome, Davis gave high praise to the Wabash Center and its staff for creating an environment that allows scholars to learn from one another to improve their teaching and administrative talents. "It's particularly great for us deans, who don't get many chances to talk about what we do with anybody else. There's a lot of this that nobody else really gets. I think as soon as we all got here, we just came together. It's been nice telling stories and discussing problems, and everyone else here knows what you're talking about."
Overall, the Wabash Center has received eight grants totaling more than $40 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. for programming that has touched the lives of almost 3,000 faculty members and 700 schools.
Wabash Dean Gary Phillips ended his toast to the Wabash Center's success by saying how appropriate it is that Wabash College serves as the host site for the important work of improving teaching and learning in colleges, theological schools, and seminaries.
"Begun in 1832 as a Latin high school and rising up to become a liberal arts college for men as the needs of the nation demanded, Wabash College made its mission one of educating teachers and preachers for communities at the then far-flung edge of the inhabited west (today's Midwest)," Dean Phillips said. "The need then was for literate leadership in two of our most important social realms: the classroom and the church. Those needs persist even more so today. How fitting and proper then that Wabash College 180 years later welcomes and supports the effort to educate the educators of religion and theology — teachers and preachers of excellence at a College that strives to be a servant of excellence."
The Wabash Center is directed by Dr. Pence. Dr. Paul Myhre and Dr. Thomas Pearson serve as Associate Directors. The staff includes Rita Arthur, Coordinator of Grants; Sherry Wren, Communications Coordinator; Patricia Overpeck, Meeting Coordinator; Beth Reffett, Administrative Assistant; and Karen Myers, Editor of Teaching Theology and Religion. Each summer, the Wabash Center employs two students to serve as interns. This year's Student Assistants are Jim Blaich '15 and Shane Brown '15.

Keeping It Together With High-Strength Stainless
Next to rubber hoses and line, fastening hardware may be the least exciting components on your hot rod or custom car. Your dressed-up engine, fresh paint job, polished suspension parts, trick wheels, and custom interior may have you beaming with pride, but when's the last time you called up your buddies to come over and see your brand-new rod bolts?
The value of high-quality hardware goes way beyond their non-existent dazzle factor. Just ask anybody who has invested in high-strength fasteners after trying to get away with the cheap stuff, only to pay the higher price of broken parts.
Holding it in your hand, the 3/8-inch hex head bolt you pulled out of a bucket at Pop's Hardware Store may not look or feel a whole lot different than a high-strength fastener from ARP or Totally Stainless, but put it to the test on a connecting rod or a suspension component and the difference will become obvious very quickly.
In order to find out what makes the difference in the quality of fasteners, we talked to Doc Hammett at Totally Stainless in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and we took a road trip to Automotive Racing Products (ARP) in Ventura, California, where Bob Florine gave us a tour of one of the company's several manu-facturing and testing facilities in nearby Santa Paula.
ARP has built its reputation on engine and driveline hardware for applications from professional racing to street cars. The majority of its product line is underhood fasteners-more specifically, cylinder head, main, and connecting rod hardware.
Probably the most familiar way of evaluating fasteners is by SAE Grades. The majority of fasteners on the market are rated as Grade 2, Grade 5, or Grade 8. Grade 2 fasteners, typically carbon steel, are at the weak end of the spectrum; carbon-alloy Grade 5 and Grade 8 fasteners are rated higher. You may have also seen the designation 18-8, which indicates stainless steel. The number refers to the makeup of the steel, approximately 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel, in addition to iron. Common 18-8 is slightly stronger than Grade 2 but less strong than Grade 5.
It's not enough for a bolt to be strong, Bob explained. It has to be flexible as well, in order to prevent it from snapping. Strength is described by several different criteria, the most common of which are tensile strength and yield strength. Tensile strength is determined by trying to pull the fastener apart toward the point of breakage. Bolts and studs are meant to be stretched so tensile loading will cause the bolt or stud to act as a clamp. Yield strength determines the load that a fastener can withstand before undergoing a specific permanent deformation-in layman's terms, how much it can take before it starts to permanently bend out of shape. Consider the range of motion of a connecting rod bolt and you can understand how this becomes important.
The chart on page 46 provides a quick look at how the various grades relate to each other in the area of yield strength and tensile strength.
Of these SAE Grades, Grade 8 is the strongest, with a tensile strength of 150,000 psi, far higher than Grade 2. ARP and Totally Stainless have products begin above Grade 8, with tensile strengths in the neighbor-hood of 170,000 psi, and climb their way up from there.
One of the ways to strengthen fasteners is by hardening. Heat treating is the typical method with carbon steel. Bob explained that many of the fasteners available from the aftermarket are case hardened, which makes them strong on the outer layer, but remain flexible inside. The advantage is a flexible, less-brittle part; the disadvantage is less strength. ARP products are through hardened, which makes them capable of bearing higher loads.
Although their 18-8 stainless parts cannot be heat-treated to strengthen them, ARP can strengthen these parts by compressing the material with extremely high-pressure dies, resulting in a stainless bolt with a higher tensile strength than even Grade 8. On larger components, age-hardening or precipitation-hardening can be used.
ARP's largest customer for high-strength bulk stainless steel is Totally Stainless, according to TS owner Doc Hammett. Whereas ARP has built its reputation on its driveline fasteners, Totally Stainless has made its name with larger suspension hardware, body kits, and engine component kits.
Doc explained to us that, relative to the huge amount of science that goes into developing high-strength rod bolts and valvetrain fasteners, everything outside of that falls into the "big hammer" category. We think he might have been pulling our leg, but fastener choice for external components is less technically critical than for the internals of an engine. Even so, choosing the right strength fastener for the right application, especially on suspension components, is important
Since there is less "science" involved in fasteners for suspension, trim, accessories, interiors, and other areas of a project car, this is where builders might feel more inclined to save a few bucks with generic nuts, studs, bolts, screws, and washers, from Pop's Hardware down the street. As someone who has developed countless correct fasteners for numerous classic car applications, Doc can anticipate the specific problems those hot rodders will encounter. He knows, for example, that interior trim screws, as early as the '30s, generally had undersized heads, and that a standard-size head will end up sticking out of place. Totally Stainless has the original-style screws in their inventory. Hood hinges, while not as punishing as a connection rod, are another problem. The factory used special, heavy flat washers that wouldn't fold up in the slotted mounting holes. Thin, flat washers are unusable for this application. Totally Stainless stocks the correct ones. Finding a source for correct fastener specs will pay off more than saving a buck on standard stuff.

Lockers, Lubes & Torque
One frequently arising issue involves the effect of thread locker or antiseize lubricant on torque specs. One disadvantage of stainless is that it is more likely to gall than other materials, especially when using stainless fasteners with stainless or aluminum. Therefore, thread locker or antiseize is recommended to reduce friction and prevent this. Some care is necessary when using lockers, however, since the compounds set very quickly. Bob Florine recommends adding the compound and installing each bolt one at a time, so it doesn't have a chance to set before you want it to. When using antiseize, which is slicker than oil, Doc Hammett recommends reducing the torque setting by approximately 30 percent.
Adequate torque is required to stretch the bolt, allowing it to fasten like a clamp. The following chart, taken with permission from the Totally Stainless catalog, lists recommended tightening torques.
Single or Double Shear
Why do you need beefier suspension fasteners on your mild street rod than on your musclecar? The chassis bolts on factory cars going back for decades are double shear, meaning that the bolt runs through a double bracket, with a piece against the head and a piece against the nut. Some current aftermarket chassis use a single-shear bracket. This design puts more bending load on the bolt, making it easier to bend it or break it. The solution is to use stronger fasteners.

Electrical Engineers Start Challenging Senior Design Projects, Sept. 18, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
Note: This is the first in a series of articles about the senior design classes in the engineering programs at New Mexico Tech. Next up: Mechanical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering.
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 18, 2008 – New Mexico Tech senior engineering majors are starting their most significant projects – Senior Design Clinic. In each engineering discipline, Tech seniors much complete a major project to earn their diplomas.
In electrical engineering, three teams of seniors are working on different projects for industry, government and academia.
Dr. Rene Arechiga, the class instructor, said senior design prepares students for a career by giving them a comprehensive project and demanding that students work as a team to complete an exhaustive endeavor.
"We want them to figure out how to make something work on a real-world project," he said. "This class gives them an experience that is similar to working in industry. These projects are research-oriented with an industry flavor."
Senior design classes have been around for many years, but were only formalized as an integral part of the engineering curriculum over the past five years. ABET, the engineering accreditation organization strongly urged Tech – and all universities – to implement such classes.
"These senior design clinics – or capstone projects – are great programs," said Dr. Peter Gerity, vice president of academic affairs. "It's practical experience in a team environment. We train our students in the same mode of industry. They get the awareness they need to enter the workforce."
To open the semester, the class of 13 budding electrical engineers was given seven projects from which to choose. That list was pared down to three preferred projects.
In each case, the teams will design and build an electrical sensing or computing device. The fall semester is devoted to exploring various ways to accomplish the task. In the spring semester, these engineers will start implementing their designs.
Dr. Anders Jorgensen of the Electrical Engineering Department is the sponsor of the project to build a sensor that can be flown via balloon to near space to measure atmospheric turbulence. Dr. Hector Erives is the faculty advisor for this project.
Team member Colton Dunlap said the biggest challenge will be to integrate the various systems.
"Each system is rather simple," he said. "But adding them all together will be a challenge. Plus, we have to send it to 100,000 feet in a Styrofoam box."
Saurav Bhattarai said the main key to success will be integrating the different systems, but incorporating a parachute, designing a controlled cut-down device and recovering the instrument will also present challenges.
The team must design a device that weighs no more than six pounds – including the balloon and 200 feet of copper wire. Their device must be battery powered and be able to withstand extreme cold. Dr. Jorgensen wants to collect, store and transmit data. He also wants to recover the device, so it must include a GPS device, as well.
Another team will design the next generation of a timing device that combines video signals from multiple cameras. This device already exists, but is bulky and requires two operators. The Tech team will design and build a device that is less than 40 pounds and can be deployed by one person. The sponsor of this project is Navair, and the faculty advisor is Dr. William Rison.
"Building a receiver is a challenge in itself," Arechiga said. "We take for granted communication devices like a cell phone because you push buttons and it works. But it isn't trivial. It's really very complicated to be able to receive signals wirelessly, with precision and with no errors. This is a serious challenge. In addition, they have to do specialized timing to control high-speed cameras."
Team member Dylan Merrigan said one big challenge will be testing their device. Kenneth Johnson said another challenge is working with high-tech specifications.
A third team will re-design a data acquisition system that measures a laser beam's position and phase. Los Alamos National Laboratory in collaboration with National Instruments asked Tech students to re-design the system using a new National Instruments device called FlexRIO. The faculty advisor is Dr. Aly El-Osery.
Arechiga said the students' challenge is to take a prototype device and design a similar system that uses state of the art products from National Instruments.
"This is not an easy task," Arechiga said.
Winston Benally said the task is difficult because the project involves integrating multiple devices, some of which they haven't been exposed to yet, like the specialized transducers used.
Karl Nieman said very high frequency waves and particle accelerators make the job very challenging. Plus, the team has two sponsors and will have to travel to Los Alamos to test their device.
Through partnerships with industry and government, students get a big taste of the expectations they'll face after graduation.
"If all their learning is theoretical, they will have problems in the workplace," Gerity said. "The senior design clinics are a tremendous value to our graduates. We emphasize hands-on learning so much through our four-year programs, that our graduates have an advantage that is critical to getting an edge in the job market."

At 28 million visitors a month, Pinterest's traffic is monumental, but it is taking its sweet time to explain how it plans to make money from the huge number of people who share images they find interesting on the site.
Entrepreneurs like Deena Varshavskaya of Wanelo see an opportunity in that.
In particular, Pinterest's upstart rivals are attacking Pinterest's weakness: It doesn't distinguish for users which items out of billions are available for purchase.
The opportunity is sometimes called "discovery commerce": sites and apps that offer things you didn't realize you wanted to buy until you see them. That's very different from traditional e-commerce, where you typically browse through defined categories or search for specific products. But it's much more like the experience of leafing through a printed catalog or window-shopping at retail stores.
Wanelo raised $2 million from early-stage investors to create what some might describe as a "buy-only" version of Pinterest. (Varshavskaya objects to that characterization.)
The Fancy, similarly, emphasizes objects you can buy, with mobile apps geared for quick purchasing.
Then there's Pinshoppr, a startup that soft-launched in May. It pulled in Pinterest's top pins and crossreferenced them against more than 250 e-commerce sites.
It wouldn't be hard for Pinterest to pull a trigger and squash startups like this. All it needs to do is sort items into categories like "Buy" or "Browse."
But after raising $138 million and attracting 28 million visitors, Pinterest has yet to unveil a strategy for making money off all the images stored on its site.
Meanwhile Wanelo has grown rapidly. We're told its user engagement metrics are extraordinary and investors are thrilled. Things have been trending that way for a while; in June, Wanelo's Varshavskaya told TechCrunch that the average user was spending 16 minutes on her site. It's grown to 149,000 Facebook fans, up from 100,000 seven months ago.
Granted, Wanelo isn't making money yet either. But it's well-positioned to once it decides to start taking a cut of sales it refers.
According to ComScore, Wanelo pulled in 1,367,000 unique visitors in December, up from 743,000 the month prior. (Keep in mind it was the holiday season, which could account for a seasonal lift.)
That makes it half the size of Fab, which recently raised at a $700 million valuation, and larger than The Fancy.
ComScore only shows desktop traffic, and Fab and The Fancy have substantial mobile traffic, as does Pinterest. But Wanelo is currently the No. 25 free app in the App Store, ahead of Pinterest in 39th place.
Here's its growth relative to similar social commerce sites:
[Numbers are number of monthly visits in thousands, courtesy of ComScore. Click to enlarge.]
NOTE: Keep in mind that ComScore data differs grately from a company's internal analytics. For example, while ComScore says The Fancy receives 369,000 visitors per month, the company's internal reports show a much higher number: 3.4 million.
None of these sites are posting numbers that come near to threatening Pinterest. But it's good to remember that Pinterest was once a nearly-invisible startup whose numbers were nothing to look at.
We can respect that Pinterest wants to take its time coming up with plans to make money. An experiment with affiliate-marketing site Skimlinks went sour after users expressed their distaste for the arrangement.
And Pinterest has not exactly been silent, having rolled out new mobile apps and launched a redesign of its website in recent months.
What it hasn't done is recaptured the ineffable buzz it had last year.
The best way for it to do that is to show everyone the money—and how it plans to make it.
Update: An earlier version of this story mischaracterized Varshavskaya's description of her site. We've noted her objection to that description.

For some models, a Sports Illustrated cover helps pave the path to enduring fame and fortune. Here's the rundown on seven success stories.
Swimsuit models: In the Feb. 9 Image section, an article about former Sports Illustrated swimsuit models said that Kathy Ireland appeared on the TV show "Bay Watch." She has not. —
Cheryl Tiegs
Age: 66
S.I. covers: 1970, 1975, 1983
Known for: Considered to be the first supermodel, Tiegs was also the first woman to appear on more than one S.I. cover when she racked up her second in 1975. But it was an inside shot of Tiegs in 1978, when Brazilian model Maria Joao appeared on the cover, that caused an uproar. Tiegs' photograph showed her emerging from the surf in a wet mesh one-piece suit that revealed almost all her assets — generating a record number of canceled subscriptions (340), the most letters regarding a swimsuit issue (2,947) and ultimately a change in S.I.'s policies to allow subscribers (such as libraries) to opt out of receiving the annual issue.
Other successes: Tiegs was the first model with her own line of clothing and accessories, which chalked up more than $1 billion in sales over the nine years it was sold at Sears. She also sold a line of sportswear on QVC and launched a collection of wigs for Revlon. Like most of the S.I. alums, she's done some acting, appearing, for instance, on "Just Shoot Me." In 2012, she competed on "Celebrity Apprentice," but she was eliminated in the first show after telling host Donald Trump the cutthroat environment wasn't right for her: "I'm actually more of a quiet person."
Net worth: $14 million
Christie Brinkley
Age: She celebrated her 60th on Super Bowl Sunday and posed for the cover of People in a one-piece swimsuit for the occasion.
S.I. covers: 1979, 1980, 1981
Known for: She's ex-husband Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" and Clark Griswold's fantasy in the National Lampoon vacation movies.
Other successes: She's appeared on more than 500 magazine covers and was the face of CoverGirl for a record 25 years. She hosted "Living in the 90s with Christie Brinkley" on CNN.
Net worth: $80 million
Elle Macpherson
Age: 49
S.I. covers: 1986, 1987, 1988, 1994, 2006
Known for: She holds the record for most swimsuit edition covers.
Other successes: She has her own company, Elle Macpherson Inc., and she launched a line of intimate apparel, Elle Macpherson Intimates — which became the bestselling lingerie brand in the U.K — as well as a collection of beauty products. In addition, she appeared in movies including "Sirens," "The Mirror Has Two Faces" and "Jane Eyre." She was co-host and executive producer of "Fashion Star," and host and chief judge on "Britain's Next Top Model" from 2010 until the series was canceled in October.
Net worth: Various sources place her net worth between $45million and $60 million, but it hardly matters. She married billionaire real estate developer Jeffrey Soffer in August.
Kathy Ireland
Age: 50
S.I. covers: 1989, 1992, 1994
Known for: Her cover for the 1989 issue, marking the swimsuit edition's 25th anniversary, was also the bestselling swimsuit edition. And Ireland and Rachel Hunter were both pregnant when they appeared with Elle Macpherson on the 1994 cover.
Other successes: She's modeled, she's acted ("Bay Watch," "Melrose Place," "The Player"), but what she really is, is a heck of a tycoon. She founded lifestyle brand Kathy Ireland Worldwide in 1992 and, starting with a pair of athletic socks, launched a company that moved more than $2 billion in merchandise in less than a decade. Products have included apparel, furniture, furs, bridal wear, housewares and, of course, swimwear.
Net worth: $350 million
Tyra Banks
Age: 40
S.I. covers: 1996, 1997
Known for: She was the first African American S.I. cover model, appearing in 1996 with Valaria Mazza and in 1997 solo.
Other successes: She's acted on TV ("Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") and movies ("Higher Learning," "Halloween: Resurrection") and was "youth correspondent" on "Oprah." Now she has her own production company called Bankable and a degree from Harvard's Executive Education Training Program. She's the executive producer and host of "America's Next Top Model" and "The Tyra Banks Show." Her television work has garnered two daytime Emmys.
Net worth: $90 million
Heidi Klum
Age: 40
S.I. cover: She was the cover girl only once, in 1998, but she is arguably among the most famous alums.
Known for: The West German-born Klum once yodeled on the "Late Show With David Letterman." And she throws a Halloween bash every year that is second to none.
Other successes: She's acted, sculpts, sings and produces television programs. But she's best known as the host on "Project Runway." She's hosted the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" four times — more than any other model. She became a host on "America's Got Talent" last year. She also has her own line of swimsuits, fragrances and skin care products, plus a line of kids' clothing and gear with Babies R Us.
Net worth: $70 million
Kate Upton
Age: 21
S.I. covers: 2012, 2013
Known for: Bursting onto the public scene in 2011 in a YouTube video that showed her doing the Dougie at a Clippers game. She was S.I.'s swimsuit Rookie of the Year in 2011, before making the cover for the first time in 2012.
Other successes: In 2013, she was the first professional model — as opposed to big-time movie/TV star or first lady — to appear on the cover of Vogue in more than a decade. She's shot everything from Carl's Jr.'s sexy burger ads to high-fashion spreads with celebrity photographers such as Terry Richardson and Steven Meisel. And she's dipped a pedicured toe into acting as well ("The Heist," "The Three Stooges").
Net Worth: Estimated at about $2 million. But she's still a rookie. Give her some time and she's likely to do just as well as her Sports Illustrated big sisters.
Los Angeles Times researcher Scott Wilson contributed to this report.
