Great! Will it maintain the same video quality, or are you going to compromise on it?ReplyDelete
hey that's cool, thanksReplyDelete
is it good idea to upload 15 min video for now? for just limited time only?ReplyDelete
Excellent news! Eh, wait a minute! Does this mean that we will have to wait another 5 years to be allowed to publish further 5 extra minutes? :) Cheers, guys!ReplyDelete

If your Content-ID system is so state-of-the-art, why keep a time limit at all?ReplyDelete
thank you guys so freaking much!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
so how long will it take for an hour long videos> just asking
Awesome news for regular users. I'm glad to see it. Though few have the patience to watch a video over 5 minutes let alone 10 or 15. It is nice if you are uploading footage of a long talk, less parts to break it up into.ReplyDelete
The weird thing is that I just saw this, at 1:57pm and it wasn't there before SO YAY 15 MINUTES LOL EVERYONE CAN NOW UPLOAD FULL EPISODES OF MORE THAN 10 MINUTES OF COPYRIGHT MATERIAL lmfaoReplyDelete
So this limit was just to stop people from uploading TV shows? I suspected as much.ReplyDelete
If you make it 30 minutes for episode parody makers, I'd love you even more.ReplyDelete
About time 15-minute uploads were allowed. It only took us, what, two or so years to get this?ReplyDelete
Definitely one of the better changes on the site.
Thank you so much, this is fantastic news!ReplyDelete
YES! Something finaly good!ReplyDelete
Awesome! :))))ReplyDelete
First!!! and Woo! Longer videos!ReplyDelete
Sweeeeeeet =)ReplyDelete

Awesome 15 minutes should be alot easier to work with :D Thank youReplyDelete
So in the matter of four years it took YouTube to go from special director accounts that enabled videos to be longer than 10 minutes to 10 minutes being the maximum to 15 minutes. On top of that, just about every video website has absolutely no time limit to uploaded videos.ReplyDelete
So, thanks for trying, but let's hope that you guys can figure out thirty minutes before 2030. At least you guys listened to your ENTIRE community for once.
"We want videos longer than 10 minutes!"ReplyDelete
"Okay, here you go! 5 more minutes!"
It's kinda like:
"Mommy, I want to go to bed later than 9:00!"
"Okay sweetie, how about 9:05?"
I don't think 5 extra minutes is what the millions of users meant when they asked for more than 10 minutes. Also, there's still users who can post longer than that because they signed up before the date the 10 minute limit was imposed.
On a related note, the new subscription bar at the bottom of the screen is annoying. There's a lot of people saying this.

Wow! That's awesome!ReplyDelete
yay. five extra minutes of cats spanking monkeys. thanks youtube!ReplyDelete
YES! Thank you YouTube! No longer will I have to spend more time rendering a vlog on my vlogs channel because it's over 11 minutes! Thank you so much! Now I can do this without the worry of having to become partner on my vlogs! THANKS!ReplyDelete
~Hopefully now some people will stop complaining.

Yay! I'm sooo excited to start uploading longer vlogs!ReplyDelete

COOL! I love YouTube :DReplyDelete
Love you Youtube!
YES!!!!!!!! FINALLY! THANK YOU!!!!ReplyDelete
This is good news Youtube.ReplyDelete
Sounds good. Keep up the great work guys!!ReplyDelete
Especially for HD vids, longer time = bigger file size. So, is the 2GB file size limit increasing too?ReplyDelete
Woot you guys are awesome :DReplyDelete
That's great. Although in all honesty I'm still wondering why the Next In queue doesn't work for user playlists if you open the video from the user's channel. It used to be this way, but not anymore - save for Partner videos.ReplyDelete
This is FANTASTIC news especially for my audience of bloggers that love YouTube to do marketing on their blogs. I have let my readers know and I hope one of them is featured in the 15 Minutes of Fame promotion..
Great news, thanks!ReplyDelete
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUTUBE!!!!ReplyDelete
I don't really understand the idea of the given video theme , could we perhaps do it in the form of a vlog talking about Youtubes chnage of the limit to 15 minutes?ReplyDelete
Thank you guys!ReplyDelete
If I'd like to compete with my video is hungarian language a problem? Subtitles maybe?
Does our video for the "15 minutes of fame" project have to be the full 15 minutes? or can we be much shorter at 4 to 6 minutes?ReplyDelete
I don't care, just remove that stupid gray bar and turn autoplay back off. Who the hell actually wants autoplay? It's so incredibly annoying, and it can't be turned off! Fix it!ReplyDelete
This. Is. Awesome!ReplyDelete
YES WE CAN.ReplyDelete
I´m Trying To Upload A Video, Is 15:14 Seconds... I´m Already Trying To Cut The Video But At Least The Best Long Will Be 20 Minutes Intead 15.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 3:03 PM
This is quite meaningful. I've been planning on making some lengthy art, but this extension removes what had me hesitating.ReplyDelete
But if the reason for doing this is faith in the ContentID, why isn't the limit completely removed? That would enable great creation of amateur movies would benefit the movie industry finding new talents. I personally would have use for making 25 minute works, but 15 is still an improvement.
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 3:16 PM
Now let's work towards making it unlimited!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Hmmm... it would seem that 15:00 minutes IS the limit, rather than 15:59 like it was for the 10 minute limit.ReplyDelete
So now that we've gotten longer time, does that mean higher audio quality and 60fps are next?
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Great News!ReplyDelete
Definitely a significant upgrade! Fifteen minutes is a nice slice--particularly for promotional videos. Thanks You Tube! :)ReplyDelete
About friggin time this was enforced. Now I won't have to edit my videos as much to force it to fit.ReplyDelete
FINALLY something usefulReplyDelete
OMG yes! The first good thing YouTube has done in a LONG time! Thank you! This means so much to me because nearly half of my over 200 videos have a Part 2 (3, 4) to them because of the 10 minute limit!ReplyDelete

thanks for increasing the limit... but what about that annoying underbar? You've made no announcment about it.... and no one really wants itReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 5:30 PM
I think it's great that the limit is now 15 minutes. But the argument why you increased the upload limit now is total gibberish.ReplyDelete
You increased the upload limit because the copyright tools were getting better?
I'm sure all of your developers understand this post... we the users don't understand it.
I know this is probably the wrong sort of attitude to take towards good news like this but... only an extra 5 minutes?ReplyDelete
You should really support linked videos. Like when a video is split into 3 parts. Be able to watch them back to back.ReplyDelete
p.s. first
Now please, replace that black bar with the old autoplay on the side. There was nothing wrong with it, and it actually let you turn off autoplay indefinately. I am glad you made this change with the time limit, but adding the bar really just made my happiness fall... It doesn't work efficiently, and the old autoplay was much more concealed to the point where if you wanted it, you could use it, but didn't have to turn it off on every single video you watch...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 6:10 PM
That is just great Google i can do mini documentaries now. Love and equality for all :)ReplyDelete
Fantastic... i sure all users waiting for this... I hope someday it will be more than 15 minutes but its very good start... Thank you YouTube TeamReplyDelete
Youtube is NOT the best place to upload videos with false flaggers.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 7:03 PM
So it WAS entirely a matter of attempting to protect copyrighted materials. Now as long as fair use law is considered, as well as basic sanity checks employed, we might stand a chance...ReplyDelete
This is something I've been craving for for a long time. Thank you YouTube. Hopefully with less problems with copyright issues, we can extend the limit even longer in the future.ReplyDelete
Awesome update.
yes! finally!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 7:46 PM
Due to this update, my account glitched and i can't upload vids. :(ReplyDelete
Okay, good. Now fix every other fucking thing you idiots have changed on this site.ReplyDelete
Turn the AUTOPLAY feature OFF by DEFAULT!!! I want to replay some parts of the vids im watching, so its really irritating to have to wait to hit the back button again from some vid that i might not watch then, this is so painful for us users with a slow internet connection...ReplyDelete
I'm really happy about this! Thanks YouTube. :DReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 29, 2010 at 9:28 PM
THANK YOU!!! :DReplyDelete
This is the best thing you guys have done in a long time.ReplyDelete
So is this a solid 15 minute limit, or like the 10 minute limit are we allowed to go up to 15:59 to compensate for recording software margin-of-error?ReplyDelete
just tried an 11:54 vid that was rejected due to length :-(ReplyDelete
yay! for 4 whole extra minutes.ReplyDelete
That's neat and good, and as soon as I develope a long-enough attention-span to sit down and create something 15 minutes long, I'll be glad you made the option of uploading it.ReplyDelete
Good on ya!
Your "state-of-the-art" Content ID system is a disgusting abuse and giant slap in the face of a little something called Fair Use. But it's obviously youtube doesn't give a damn about Fair Use.ReplyDelete
I love the idea.ReplyDelete
Too bad you didn't increase the size as well, now there will be longer movies in similarly quality whereas a bigger size limit could have allowed for higher quality movies.ReplyDelete

What on earth does copyright have to do with this topic? Do we really have to clear everything in our lives through the evil oligopoly that controls all intellectual property and manipulates the law in their favor? Could we just have a nice press release without a reminder of "COPYRIGHT-POLICE STATE! WE WILL CRUSH YOU!"ReplyDelete
Awesome! Thank you Youtube!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much! This is the best upgrade you've made to your site in a long time.ReplyDelete
This is great and all, but can you please turn off the auto play feature (or at least give us the option to turn it off without having to do it every time)?ReplyDelete
Fortunately, with FireFox and Adblock Plus, I was able to eliminate that annoying bar at the bottom of the screen though, so that's no longer an issue. Not for me anyway.
You guys keep pushing all of these "features" that most of us don't want, with no option to turn them off, but that doesn't seem to matter to you.
Finally! Thank you So much. As an Event Videographer and Member of YouTube since 2005. I wished I signed up for a Directors account back in 2006/2007 where that would've been the only way to upload beyond the 10 minute mark, but I didn't.ReplyDelete
This was the only feature I asked for as an Avid YouTube User for years and my Audience would be very pleased.
Thank You So Much.
Please give the option to remove the queue bar at the bottom of the screen, it's very annoying!!! As it pops up to easily!ReplyDelete
Honestly, why have the time limit at all? Few people upload 10 minutes as it is, why not just ditch the limit?ReplyDelete
I do not upload videos on YouTube, but I'm surely happy with the news. Thank you. Keep on improving!ReplyDelete
Why does the youtube player unconditionally advance to the next video in the list if I play a video from my subscriptions? Why is there no way to disable this? I hate this and wish to disable it, but there doesn't seem to be an options menu anywhere either. Sorry to rant in an unrelated place, but I know no other way to air my grievances.ReplyDelete
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS THANK YOU THANK YOU YOUTUBE FINNALYReplyDelete
hehehe thank u so muchReplyDelete
hope one day we will have unlimited time, 15 minutes still limits some audiovisual ideas a lotReplyDelete

Thanks for increasing the time limit. I'm sure many users will take advantage of this right away. Personally I like to keep my tutorials under 3 minutes because that's about all my audience can sit still for. Everyone is so busy these day. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Great! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Why do you people keep messing about with the play list options? Now I have an amazingly annoying pop up at the bottom of my screen which doesn't seem to have the random player function.ReplyDelete
I wonder what it is you people think is the appeal of your site?
JUst additional 5 mins? Well at least it's better than no increase at all.. nice. :)ReplyDelete

Sounds cool... but is this permanent or temporary?ReplyDelete

yay :) im reallyhappy about this :) but what about the other things like the "other chanels " feature and the "autoplay " feature .I have taken advantage of these features since we already have them . But i think you should reserve those and all of the other partner advances to the youtube partner and not be letting all youtube users have them because, Partnership is something you have to work for and those were 2 major things i wanted when i become a partnerReplyDelete
This is FANTASTIC!! Let's hope the upload process is not compromised.ReplyDelete
15 minutes?ReplyDelete
Come on.
Half an hour at least.
omg thx to YT its soo coolReplyDelete
nice! ;) I like the new limit.ReplyDelete
I noticed you didn't mention the bar which comes up under the videos. I hope you remove that immediately... Or at least allow me to turn it off, foor good!
This is great news :)ReplyDelete
Wow, four more minutes! That almost seems significant.ReplyDelete

Thanks Youtube.
Watch at my channel:

How for those who have director accounts? It seems that those with older ones have unlimited time for uploading. I have video content up to 3 hours and I rather not break them into chunks.ReplyDelete
First here, it's nice to have 15 minutes more and no more tabs on the firefox, thank you for upgrading Youtube & GoogleReplyDelete
Always love u
A great comment from Digg.com's gusterbear:ReplyDelete
YouTube needs to stop being retarded. They could have time frames that fit the account type:
- Default user: 10 minutes
- Pro User: 30 min
Paid (with a nominal yearly/monthly/length over X min fee)
- Short film maker: 1 hr
- Film maker: 2 hour
Why they don't do this is beyond me. If a short film maker can pay YouTube a nominal fee for a certain number of 31-60 min uploads a year, they would, and YouTube would make money.
If an independent film maker could pay for posting up to 2 2-hour long films a year for a nominal fee, they would, and YouTube makes money.
I say nominal fee because if you can charge $20-$40 a year for ad-supported films, and more for ad-less films, you get more people and make money.
wow...this a great news for video geeks.ReplyDelete
Fantastic!! Nice change.ReplyDelete
Hello, I wish to report a parental control exploit. Using sports illustrated minisodes as an example: You start out at season III, episode I. You put the browser in fullscreen, and skip to the end of the video. Wait, and the next video plays, even though it is banned for people under 18.ReplyDelete
This is absolutely fantastic. PLEASE keep it at 15 minutes. So much more can be shown. Thank youReplyDelete
This is awesome great job Youtube!!ReplyDelete
A good number I think. Question, Is there a minute leeway as with the previous 10(11) minute limit?ReplyDelete
WOW! really? all this year i been telling people they cant do more than 10min. than you made it 15min. (o.O) you all ROCK!ReplyDelete

How do I turn off the autoplay que on the bottom? I hate it.ReplyDelete
It's a good start...but need to do something about false copyright claims.ReplyDelete
wow ... nice too know , thanks to your new censorship system , somehow you were able to change the upload limit to 15minutes ! makes perfect sense ! i guess that means horray for censorship !!!ReplyDelete
Sweet! I was just wondering the other day if YouTube would increase their length limit... But, PLEASE get rid of the new playlist bar at the bottom. SOOO ANNOYING!!! (Especially on netbooks with extremely limited vertical screen real-estate!)ReplyDelete
Oh, cool. Now get rid of that fugly gray bar that nobody ever asked for.ReplyDelete
Whoa, I'm surprised you guys actually did this. I wonder when PowerDirector will get a patch out to allow the longer video time.ReplyDelete
15 minutes? Argh, give us unlimited or you are so poor? Other similiar sites to YT give considerably more. :)ReplyDelete
This is exciting and all, but this looks like the only change you've ever made upon comminuty request. What were you guys doing when everyone was outraged by the new channel designs? The new YouTube design? Now there's this new and highly annoying autoplay bar at the bottom of the screen that nobody ever wanted or asked for. Clean up all those mistakes and then I'll be happy.ReplyDelete
thats goodReplyDelete
but please give us a option of turning that annoying playlist bar at the bottom
what was wrong with the old playlist feature?
Why'd you change the homepage? There was nothing wrong with it and it was customizable. I didn't have to have the Recommended for You" section on my homepage. Except now it's there all the time and everyone's recent activity is being shoved in front of my face and everything is all jumbled together.(And I really don't see why the subscription's page is on a different page and not on top of everything else like normal)ReplyDelete
And I REALLY don't like how that dumb bar constantly gets in the way. Especially with it opening up when you do nothing to trigger it. and then there's the autoplay that you have to turn off manually, and it dosen't stay off by default.
Come on, I thought you learned your lesson with this during the stupid beta player.
Nice. Good to see YT catching up with the times ;-)ReplyDelete
Does this mean the limit on file size has increased?ReplyDelete
Thank you YouTube , We Love You YouTubeReplyDelete
Gracias YouTube, te amamos YouTube

Wow, an update by YouTube that's actually good. I'm impressed guys, people have been asking for an higher time limit for videos for years now, so I appreciate the fact you guys have now been able to do this. Granted I don't do videos, least not at the moment anyway, so it doesn't mean much to me but I know a lot of people are going to really enjoy this. So thank you for doing at least one update in the past couple of months that has actually been perfect.ReplyDelete
I love you Google !!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Youtube! You've just made everyone happy with this move. This should really be good & shorten parts when uploading things.ReplyDelete
Please put up a blog post explaining the thought process behind the playlist bar at the bottom, because I'm absolutely baffled as to how it could have been seen as a good idea. I know people ALWAYS complain when theres a change to the youtube interface, but this is different.ReplyDelete
I FUCKING HATE AUTOPLAY, IT KEEPS POPING UP AND I RAGEEEEEEEReplyDelete
Great stuff Youtube.Well Done!ReplyDelete
I found creating some documentary videos they ran just over the ten minutes which meant editing out some of the good bits.
As for Copyright music I think some owners are a bit paranoid over this. I bought Pinnacle Studio and use the included tracks in the software for background music only to find some are flagged by Youtube for copyright. Yes I agree with Copyright in so much as I wouldn't use a James bond movie track in my video for instance. Some of the lesser known tracks I would of thought the viewer would relate it to the movie like it, and more than likely given the opportunity to buy it. Has to be a plus for the copyright owner. What do you think guys?
I can upload 16 min Video? just over 1 minReplyDelete
I think 30 min will be idealReplyDelete
As an online educator who uploads classes, this is FABULOUS and SPECTACULAR news!!!! Thank you Youtube for this... By the way, I'd like to request a feature for partners (like me): that we can upload an intro sequence of no more than 5-10 seconds, and that it could get embedded automatically in the beginning of all videos. Thanks and keep doing great!!ReplyDelete
This is great news! For a broadcaster who uploads hours of feeds on JTV I tend to struggle when it comes to uploading long clips to YouTube. Thanks to this I will be able to do that without having to cut off good bits or sit down and spend hours editing content. Good one YouTube! Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete

This is a STEP in the right direction. It's not 60-120min, which it SHOULD be, but it's an improvement. 30 minutes would be a far better compromise. 15 minutes is, frankly, insulting to Youtube customers. The queue bar is great, but it doesn't behave currently - needs to stay minimized unless actively clicked on. Autoplay seems to have a mind of its own and often does not stay on. Biggest problems currently: 1) each new video does not play full screen. 2) The previous resolution preference is ignored 3) Still no stop button to break the download. All three are glaring omissions easily fixed, if Youtube will simply employ better decision-makers less indifferent to its customer's concerns. I'm speaking from roughly 25 years experience supporting end-users in one form or another.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading.

Good news for the non-partners.ReplyDelete
"PLEASE keep it at 15 minutes"ReplyDelete
Please don't. Make it at least 30 minutes, or 60. Better yet, unlimited.
"wow ... nice too know , thanks to your new censorship system , somehow you were able to change the upload limit to 15minutes ! makes perfect sense ! i guess that means horray for censorship !!!"
Finally a good comment. People shouldn't be happy about just 5 minutes when it comes at this price.
Copyright is stupid, you shouldn't let those people ruin this site with that idiotic content ID system. Come on youtube, fight them. They are the enemies of mankind, don't be afraid of them, they are the bad guys, not your users. Start lobbying against unreasonable copyright laws immediately instead.
...What is this "comment as" thing? Why can't I comment using my YouTube ID???Why do I need another registration???? Lame...
Hi youtube,ReplyDelete
Thanks for upping the time limit.
PLEASE, PLEASE work on fixing that ANNOYING, new Auto Play bar. Many, MANY users do NOT like it, and cannot find a way to PERMANENTLY disable it (It keeps coming back).
Honest it would NOT be as ANNOYING if it did not AUTOMATICALLY 'pop-up" after clicking on a subcription video. If it just stayed as a minimized bar unitl called for, it would be quite tolerable.
Do a search on youtube on remvoing autoplay bar and you will see MANY dissatisfied youtube users coming up with work-arounds to disable it because it cannot be PROPERLY disabled.
wtf?what if shane dawson will release degrassi 3 and it will be 20-25 mins long? youtube doesn't thinkReplyDelete
Thank you very much as a user with a lot of 2 parters because they were just 3-5 minutes to long this is fantastic news! I've already taken advantage with my latest video it is very much appreciated! Youtube user RazMansRealityReplyDelete
Where did my comment go??? I was the first one! grrr.ReplyDelete
Great... now we got an extra 5 minutes for video time... it's a start. I'm looking forward for new time in the future.ReplyDelete
great. Hey how do i permanently get rid of the "Your subscription" bar at the bottom of the watch page? It is the most god awful abomination. It opens up if your cursor gets past halfway down the browser window, covers up comments when i'm trying to read them, GOD FORBID i should want to leave a comment with out the thing popping open and making me inadvertently navigate to another video. And Whose bright idea was it to default auto play to on???ReplyDelete
Then why not make it 30 minutes?ReplyDelete

Great news.ReplyDelete
Please also do something about "Recommended for you".
I see recommendations for videos that has been removed long time ago, are not available in my country or is rated so bad that anyone does not want to see them. I see these recommendations a lot.
Nice, i love to hear myself talk so this is perfect.ReplyDelete
This is cool and all but this 15 minute limit is still hurting us creative folks out here who wish to upload our own home made long form (1 hour+) video that was created by ourselves! We who follow the rules and do not abuse the system by uploading copyrighted content should have the video time limit removed if we formally request it and a review of our account shows that we are in good standing with no strikes against us! YouTube is punishing the entire community for the abuses of a relative few! Surely you can see my point here! Granted, YouTube is a free service and they have made GREAT strides in the past 5 years but this is one area where they are just backwards in their thinking. As for video types that are long form, things like independent film, lectures, teaching videos, community events, civic functions, faith based content and the like are all reasons why long form is important but does not necessarily fall under the heading of the partner paradigm with it's attendant monetization being a factor in attaining partner status.ReplyDelete
I for one hope that YouTube is working on a review system just as I described for those of us who want to do long form without any interest in monetizing our content or where monetization would not be applicable or appropriate (IE faith based video) YouTube is a GREAT site with a lot of heart but sadly, they are falling behind the 8 ball on this issue!

Very interesting ...ReplyDelete
I LIKE THE GRAY BAR.ReplyDelete
It's true, the autoplay ON by default was annoying, but now this is "fixed", and it's ok.
Moreover: I thought that the gray bar was just unnecessary, but 5 minutes ago i realized how it improves the "quick playlist" thing, aka the "queue", aka "quick list" (i dont' remember th old name of the feature, you know that list you creat clicking on the little plus on the thumbnauil of the videos). That was a weak feature of youtube, for several reasons, but now, thanks to the gray bar i must admit it's easier and more usefull to use.
Why not throwing away the limit for users who are at least 2 years on YouTube?ReplyDelete
I mean, the ones which upload Copyrighted material are never longer than 1 year before suspension, so the fair people could have no limit at all, while the Copyright uploaders won't get it.
BS, Music beats YouTube any day.ReplyDelete
You have no idea how much I love you right now.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. This is a nice step forward for Youtube and its users.
This will make a lot of people happy to knowReplyDelete
If you're giving us longer time limits on our videos, let us have a bigger file size at least. 4gb maybe? I can't post a vlog thats in 720p HD and is only 13 minutes :( Its 3.2gbReplyDelete
So, what would the VIDEO size be? 2 GB?ReplyDelete
Stuart, you need to compress your videos better. I have a few full length 720p movies on my hard drive that are about 6-7GB. 13 minutes should not be that large. But, I agree that they need to increase the size limit.ReplyDelete
Will you still allow grandfathered director accounts to upload longer videos?ReplyDelete

I'm not American.This is incredible, love beyond borders.I'm living proof that you can love another country.I'm doing publicity about love, let's say no to xenophobia.Bring peace to the world,and the Internet is the greatest way to reach those people seeking a place to gather crops in democratic accountability by giving the right to freely manifests and gives opinions,ideas and thoughts.This is the videoReplyDelete
I am so pumped that this has finally happened... A lot of the films I upload are over 10 minutes each which has now forced me to start making shorter ones. But now that it's been switched to 15... Feels like my dreams have come true!ReplyDelete

Real Salt Lake can only hope the two opportunities they let slip away against Montreal Saturday afternoon don't come back to haunt them down the stretch run of the season.
The club blew two separate leads in a 3-2 loss on the road, and gave up a stoppage-time goal to Impact defender Matteo Ferrari to snap a two-game winning streak.
"Lack of concentration at the end," midfielder Kyle Beckerman said of the late goal. "It's a bit unfortunate for us. If we did a little bit better on our chances (earlier in the game) we could have been in a position that, even if they scored at the end, we still could have been in the lead. But we didn't take all our chances, so we paid the price."
RSL outshot the Impact 21-17, including seven on target to only five for the home side. They had more possession in the match and appeared to be the better side until the final 10 minutes, when the Impact struck twice to erase a 2-1 lead built on the back ok Beckerman's first goal of the season in the 77th minute.
They also led 1-0 after an own goal just six minutes into the match.
"I think it's frustrating because I don't feel like we've had a lot of leads, and certainly not a lot of early leads this year," RSL head coach Jason Kreis said. "I feel like we are always kind of responding to adversity. To be in the driver's seat there at the beginning of the game had a little bit of a different feel. To look back at the moment, what happened when we were up 1-0, we had two glaring chances to go 2-0 and didn't take either one of them. And then Montreal starting coming to the game, caused us some problems."
Kreis praised his team's aggressive approach in the match, and Beckerman said he's hopeful the team use the loss as a galvanizing point this early in the season.
"Of course we're disappointed and frustrated, we have to try and learn from it," Beckerman said. "I think a loss like this can really help us move forward. We need to get a good week of practice in and then when we get back into this position we'll get something out of it."

Writers Trailer (2012)
Trailer for Writers.
An acclaimed writer, his ex-wife and their teenaged children come to terms with the complexities of love in all its forms over the course of one tumultuous year in "Writers," the clever, funny, and touching tale of a fractured family trying to rediscover one another.
Novelist Bill Borgens (Greg Kinnear) has been struggling to keep it together since his wife Erica (Jennifer Connelly) left him for a younger man three years earlier. Instead of working on a new book, he obsesses about his ex, spies on her and her new husband while pretending to be jogging and insists that their 16year-old son, Rusty, set a place at the Thanksgiving table for Erica every year, even though she never comes.
This Thanksgiving, their 19-year-old daughter Samantha comes home from college with momentous news: her first novel has been accepted for publication. Bill is both thrilled, since he has been raising both his children to be writers since birth, and chagrined, since she wrote the book without any help from him. But when he suggests that Sam share her good news with Erica, she balks, refusing to have anything to do with the woman she believes betrayed her father.
Deeply wounded by her mother's departure, Sam has constructed a wall between herself and love. She pursues only one-night stands and uncommitted hookups to protect herself from being hurt. When her classmate Lou tries to initiate a real relationship with her, she ridicules him and leaves before she has to reveal that he has touched her. When Lou stops coming to the writing seminar they both attend, Sam tracks him down and follows him to the hospital where his mother lies dying. Not even cynical Sam can resist Lou's gallantry in the face of tragedy.
Meanwhile, Rusty is just the kind of guy his sister abhors — romantic, needy and hoping to rescue a damsel in distress. He gets his chance when beautiful Kate, the secret crush he dedicates his poetry to, has a fight with her abusive boyfriend, and he steps in. Soon Rusty and Kate are inseparable, but he is so blinded by love that he is unable to see how seriously troubled she really is.
When Erica attends a launch event for Sam's book, she is devastated by her daughter's rejection. As the Borgens family reopens old wounds and inflicts some new ones, Kate spins out of control. It will take all of their considerable resources to save her, but they will have to put aside their grudges in order to do so.

GF cites their reasons:
- Waiting to be in love (56%)
- Not wanting to have sex (37%)
- Feeling too young (31%)
- No particular reason (26%)
- Waiting to be married (17%)
- Waiting to be the legal age of consent (14%)
- Waiting for their boyfriend/girlfriend to be ready (8%)
- Not being interest in ever having sex (1%)
In this pornified world, with sexual messaging hitting them in their faces the minute they wake up in the morning, and given the assumption that most young people are having sex and that those who aren't must have something wrong with them, these findings are revealing.
More than half are waiting to at least be in love. Maybe they want more than a cold soulless hook-up that leaves them feeling used? Maybe they've seen what coerced, unwanted sex has done to their friends? (Research from W.A shows more than 80% of girls regretted their first sexual experience, characterised by drunkenness and force). It would be valuable if GF were to unpack this further – that the desire to be 'in love' survives in a culture which treats girls as merely sexual service stations and orifices to be penetrated (read Zoo lately?) is worthy of deeper investigation.
A quarter of GF readers are sexually active. Of those, 89% have had intercourse, slightly less – 85% – have had oral sex. Average age of first sex was 16. A concerning 47% have had sex under the influence of alcohol, 12% under the influence of drugs. This means that 69% of sexually active readers engaged in sex when they could not exercise proper informed consent (14% of these encounters were with complete strangers).
A quarter say they have felt pressure from peers to have sex before they're ready (including a 16 year-old who is quoted "They say I'm really stupid for not having sex, but I don't know if I'm ready"), 27% say they have felt pressured from a guy. Perhaps GF could look at how it could better help strengthen and equip girls who are feeling pressured, to resist sexual activity they don't feel ready for?

Building a startup is hard.But there's a new trend in startups coming out that make it much easier to make an application.
The latest example is Y Combinator graduate Meteor — which just raised $11.2 million in funding from big-time investors like Andreessen Horowitz. It's a startup that specialises in speeding up the process of making an app.
Meteor takes away a lot of the technical challenges of building a rich web experience with live updates — like comments on Facebook, or a Twitter feed or collaboration service like Asana — by packaging it into a single piece of software you can drop into any app.
Now a less-technical developer can access those really complicated features that users essentially demand, thanks to Facebook, without having to spend months developing them.
We caught up with co-founder Matt Debergalis to find out why Meteor just received a huge round of funding. Here's what we learned:
- Startups typically spend a lot of time building protocols and software for their applications, and not the actual applications. For example, a small team might spend months building the underlying architecture for a live commenting system on photos, like what you might find on Facebook.
- Meteor essentially takes away that development time. All these protocols are available through Meteor, so app developers don't have to spend a ton of time building them from scratch. They can focus on building the actual service.
- With Meteor, you don't need to be a coding genius to build an app any more. All you need is a little bit of experience with JavaScript and a good idea. Meteor handles the rest.
- After building an open-source community, Meteor plans on building a programming infrastructure for enterprise companies. That's a pretty typical route with most open source projects.
Here's a lightly-edited transcript of the interview:
BUSINESS INSIDER: Tell me a little bit about Meteor.
MATT DEBERGALIS: We're building is a new platform for writing rich client applications, things like the photo-viewer in Facebook or Quora or other sites that actually run inside the browser as a program. That's a big break form the old model, where you would build a website that ran in a distant web server far away from the user that would deliver a rendered page to the browser. The reason this is happening is the same reason we moved from the mainframes in the 70s and 80s to desktop software on Windows — you can build a richer interface, a more fluid experience for the user, if the software is physically right next to he person using the software.
With the rise of mobile devices where we have powerful computers in peoples' pockets and the rise of JavaScript which has become this industry standard powered by massive investments for Apple, Microsoft and others, we now have a platform where we can move away from that web era where software was far away where we had these static interfaces. The reason Facebook invested in that, for example, is so you can swipe through photos and see comments popping up in real time.
BI: What kind of pain point are you attacking?
MD: Because the technique is new and because the infrastructure doesn't exist yet, building those rich web services takes teams of experts months to build today. Only larger companies like Twitter and Quora and Asana, people who are well-funded, can do that. Your typical developer is left between a rock and a hard place because users expect the interface to be fluid and interactive like Facebook. It's a technique that's difficult for a developer and small team to master. Meteor is the first off the shelf answer to that problem. It ties together all the techniques and technologies to build the rich applications so the weekend coder and typical developer can focus on the application, not the ni tty gritty
"It ties together all the techniques and technologies to build the rich applications so the weekend coder and typical developer can focus on the application, not the nitty gritty."
BUSINESS INSIDER: What do you mean by "techniques"?
MD: Here's the challenge: if someone makes a change on a site like website, how do we get that information on to everyone else's screen. You might have a million people using that app if it's successful, everyone is using that information. To write software like that you have to build a bunch of programs that coordinate the traffic, you invest in protocol that allows your client to coordinate with the server you wrote, which is your air traffic controller, and the server decides which data to send to which people. You're investing a whole layer to connect those things and forced to come up with a solution on how to tell each client when their data is out of date, and keep every single interface up to date.
For example, that's why we have the rise of new programming languages like Node.js. That's good at allowing every client to keep an open connection to the server. But to write those protocols you have to be good at JavaScript, and good at some server side language like Ruby or Python, and you have to be able to design a protocol. You end up building a miniature database inside your client because you want to be able to store data and cache it so the client is quick and fluid. Those kinds of problems have nothing to do with the app you're trying to build, it's just complex software everyone has to write. That's what meteor does off the shelf.
A good analogy is the relational database. Before Oracle provided a database you could buy, any software you wrote you had to include that functionality by hand. Companies used to hire database hands that would build fragile database systems tied to applications. But once we had this off the shelf SQL technology, every developer could start with that off the shelf instead of focusing on the nitty gritty of figuring out how and when to put information on a disk.
BI: How does this help a startup?
MD: If you want to develop an idea as quickly as you can and you're a small team, you want to iterate and try it out and see how people that feel. If the beginning of that process is a month of underlying technical work and you don't have any product to show for it, you're in a tough spot. Meteor lets a startup iterate their product in days instead of weeks or months. It lets people immediately works with graphic design, with a rich application. Meteor is a technology that lets a graphic designer begin building a complete application. It levels the playing field and it lets a single designer or an artist to be able to construct that next blockbuster app.
BI: Tell me a little bit about your team.
MD: There are three of us, we're all hackers. We've done some projects that all ran into this problem. The reason we wrote meteor is that we struggled with exactly what I described, spending months building the underpinnings of applications because we want these kinds of interfaces. We thought this was an opportunity with the growing acceptance of JavaScript, it was time to bring an off-the-shelf solution that we could put together as a product that would let any developer use those same techniques to the table. We went through YC last summer, we've been working on Meteor for just about a year.
BI: You just raised a huge chunk of cash. What are you going to use it for?
MD: The reason we wanted to work with Andreessen Horowitz and Matrix Partners is that they are experts at taking successful open source technologies into the enterprise. Andreessen Horowitz has made some high-profile commitments to developer-centric technologies, we think they're a great fit. Marc Andreessen basically invented the web. It's a firm that I think is patient and understands the value of a vibrant open source community.The first thing we're gonna do is use this to continue to grow the Meteor project, an open source project that anyone can use for free and modify it how they want. We ant to help the community grow. That means we're going to do whatever we can do to help people build the meteor project — find jobs, build apps, all these things successful to an open source ecosystem.
In the long term, the funding will help build product that commercial enterprises need so they can integrate Meteor into their existing IT infrastructure. The challenge with the enterprise is you have requirements around how you want to allocate computing resources. Those are products we can develop around the Meteor core that we can sell to the enterprise. The team we've put together has done this repeatedly. We have to be patient and focused on the open source project, once you have that, we have to figure out how to take that technology into the enterprise, which has this very different set of interests.
BI: How does this fit into the big push into mobile?
MD: You see applications built for all these platforms at the same time. You may build a native mobile application for iOS or Android, and you're usually gonna have an HTML5 equivalent. The real problem is how to have a consistent architecture that lets you share data across those two things at the same time and how you do it in a way that saves engineering time. Meteor is a bunch of individual packages that fit together. It's designed to plug your native mobile application into the exact same server as your HTML5/desktop application and have a consistent standard protocol, so when you make a change on your phone or your native app, it appears on the desktop.

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, nervous system and other organs of the body. The underlying causes of lupus are unknown, but it is usually more common in women of child-bearing age.
For this new study, a collaborative team of UC and Cincinnati Children's researchers wanted to compare lupus rates between people who were exposed to uranium and those who were not in an effort to explain the high number of lupus cases reported in a Cincinnati community.
Extensive review of medical records and serum antibody analysis to verify the cases, concluded that people who were exposed to higher levels of uranium, based on their living proximity to a former uranium ore processing plant, had lupus rates four times higher than the average population.
"Former studies have suggested that people with lupus may be more sensitive to radiation and that both genetics and environmental exposures play a role in disease development. Our study shows a strong correlation between uranium exposure, a radioactive substance, and an increased lupus rate that merits further investigation," says Pai-Yue Lu, MD, a pediatric rheumatology fellow at Cincinnati Children's and lead researcher for the study.
"With more research in this area, we may gain additional insight on the types of environmental factors that contribute to lupus development and the mechanisms by which they work," Lu adds. "There could be other effects of uranium and related exposures that could contribute to or help explain our findings."
Lu is presenting this finding and its potential implication at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting Monday, Nov. 12, in Washington, D.C. She completed the project as part of her master's degree in clinical and translational science training at UC.
The Cincinnati-based team's research is based on nearly two decades of data collected through the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program, the United States' first and largest legally mandated comprehensive medical monitoring program. The program was established in 1990 after a federal investigation revealed that National Lead of Ohio's Feed Materials Production Center in the Hamilton County, Ohio, community of Fernald, was emitting dangerous levels of uranium dust and gases into the surrounding communities.
"The availability of this cohort and carefully collected data and biospecimens provides a great setting to ask research questions," says Susan Pinney, PhD, UC professor of environmental health and principal investigator of the Fernald study.
Almost 10,000 community residents enrolled in the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program. Community residents were classified into several exposure groups: high exposure, moderate exposure, low exposure and no exposure. (Uranium plant workers were not part of this study.)
"Typical U.S. incidence rates for lupus are 1.8 to 7.6 cases per 100,000. Among the 25 confirmed lupus cases we identified through the Fernald community cohort, 12 were in the high exposure group, eight with moderate exposure and five in the low exposure group," says Lu.
Research was supported by a pilot grant from a Center for Environmental Genetics, a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences-funded program to support core facilities and technologies needed to conduct innovative research that focuses on how environmental agents interact with genetic and epigenetic factors to influence disease risk and outcome. Shuk-mei Ho, PhD, Jacob A. Schmidlapp Chair and Professor of Environmental Health, serves as principal investigator of the CEG grant.

What is a general contractor?
When starting a home remodel or new construction project, you will probably hire a general contractor. A general contractor is a professional who is qualified to take a set of building plans and construct them as outlined. The general contractor may help perform the day-to-day building, or they may just hire workers and oversee all the work activities. In either case, the job of the general contractor is to see that your project gets built.
When you have a building project, ask for bids from various contractors. The bids tell you how much each will charge and what their scope of work will be. Once you have selected a bid, you sign a contract with that general contractor outlining the specifics of the project and the milestones during the project when they will receive payment installments. Once the contract is official, the general contractor will bring in their crew to begin construction. The contractor will manage the workers and subcontractors (anyone who doesn't work directly for their company but that they need to outsource, like a marble installation pro), order all the materials, obtain work permits, and confirm that all the workers and subcontractors are completing their projects as planned. They typically handle all the payments to the workers and subcontractors, and send you invoice. For all these reasons, it's also especially important to follow a few smart hiring practices when it comes to finding a general contractor. If you are organized and competent to oversee construction projects, and are able to make sure everything is being built properly and meeting code, it's possible you can be your own general contractor.
What do construction project managers do?
Construction project managers help in all stages of your construction project, starting from the very first step. Typically paid a percentage of a total project cost, they are part of the design and planning process and help ensure seamless communication between the design parties and the construction team. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, their scope of work includes preparing cost estimates, budgets and work timetables; interpreting and explaining contracts and technical information to other professionals; reporting work progress and budget to clients; collaborating with architects, engineers and other construction pros; selecting subcontractors and scheduling and coordinating their tasks; responding to work delays, emergencies and other problems; and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, building and safety codes, and other regulations.
The work of construction project managers may seem very similar to that of general contractors, but there are some critical differences. One difference is that, unlike most general contractors, project managers are not engaged in the actual construction — they are onsite overseeing the work of subcontractors. Another key difference is that project managers are hired during the design phase, while general contractors are hired after plans have been made. The project manager is generally paid a percentage of the total project cost, while the general contractor is more typically paid according to the bid they gave to build your project.
Why should you hire a contractor?
Hiring a general contractor is a good idea for many remodeling projects. Home renovation contractors have a broad range of skills to manage, coordinate and complete a project. They should help make sure your project comes in on time and within your budget as they hire and supervise all the necessary subcontractors, including electricians and plumbers. They also handle procuring all the materials required for your job. Some homeowners look to save money by acting as their own contractor, but an experienced home renovation contractor is worth the cost. They should know local building codes, be able to pull all necessary permits, and work with inspectors to make sure the construction meets local codes. Also, because they get professional discounts, they can typically buy materials at a better price than you can; better prices on materials and labor save you money, and make up for at least a percentage of the cost of the contractor.
How do you choose a commercial general contractor?
A commercial contractor provides similar services as a residential general contractor but specializes in working with large-scale projects for businesses, schools, nonprofits, governments and development firms. When researching commercial general contractors, review their portfolio of work and confirm they have ample experience working in the area you need. For example, if you are building a small strip mall, ask if the contractors have experience successfully incorporating all the needed elements such as a parking lot, meeting ADA requirements, accessing the proper permits, and completing work on time.
Once you've identified several qualified candidates, request bids for your project and then compare the scope of work with your needs and budget. Your commercial general contractor should oversee design, permitting, construction, materials purchase, and adherence to building code and zoning regulations, as well as sticking to an agreed-upon budget and schedule. It's important to establish clear communication with your future commercial general contractor, as this will mean a smoother process for everyone. For all these reasons, it's also especially important to follow a few smart hiring practices when it comes to finding a general contractor.
When should you hire a contractor?
A few home remodeling projects can be done by an ambitious DIY-minded homeowner or local handyman, but many are best completed by a professional home renovation contractor. You should hire a contractor when you're planning a large project that takes time, machinery or large tools, and several workers; a kitchen remodel, new bathroom or home addition will be most successful with a licensed, expert contractor at the helm. It's particularly important to have a professional contractor on board for construction, electrical, plumbing and HVAC projects that require inspections to meet local building codes. Of course, you can hire a contractor for smaller projects, too, if you prefer to let an expert handle things like addition or removal of a wall, small framing projects, or anything that requires a permit.
You should hire a contractor when you're ready to start a remodeling project and you have plans, a budget and a timeline for the work in hand, but before any remodeling work begins.

Neoclassicism. It was the main architectural style in Athens from 1834 up to the 1920's. During this period Athens was a small city extending up to the borders of today's historic center. Neoclassicism expressed the romantic spirit of the idea "love for antiquity". An idea that dominated in Western Europe and was brought here by German architects, who came to Athens in the beginning of the 1830's to design the new city. During the middle-war period and particularly after 1955 many of these buildings were demolished. However, many districts in Athens historic center still preserve their charming, neoclassic features.
Eclecticism. The last years of the 19th century neoclassicism was influenced by the romantic aesthetics of French architecture. Although Athenian classicism remained dominant, many public and private buildings were built influenced by the decorative of west European trends.
Art Nouveau. Although this radical movement was never totally expressed in Athens, in the 1920's many Greek bourgeois from Smyrna, Egypt and Constantinople built their houses influenced by this architectural style. These few but remarkable buildings (of Art Nouveau style) changed the dominating neoclassic and eclectistic atmosphere of Athens.
Modern Movement. In the beginning of 1930's architects started to construct buildings with more than 2 or 3 floors. These small blocks of flats, which reached even six floors, incorporated a Greek version of international modernistic architecture (bauhaus, art deco). A characteristic feature of those buildings was the semi-circular projections (erker) and the accentuated parts of their facades. Some of these buildings are internationally renowned as remarkable examples of modern movement.
Post War period (1950-2000). During the post war period Athens population increased radically and the need for residence became crucial. In the 50's and the first half of the 60's architects decided to use marble on buildings' facades, their parapets and entrances. During the period of 1960-1975 (reconstruction period) dominated the massive and impersonal architecture, which altered the style of the city's new districts. However, many inspirational constructions were designed. The last few decades and after a period of immobility, architects started to build several remarkable buildings (mostly public) that give new status and promote districts which were completely forgotten.

Austerity Or Stimulus? What We Need Is Growth
Austerity isn't working in Europe.
Greece is collapsing, Italy and Spain's output is declining, and even Germany and the U.K. are slowing down. In addition to their direct economic costs, these "austerity" measures aren't even swiftly closing budget gaps. As incomes decline, tax revenue drops, and it becomes harder to cut spending. A downward spiral looms.
These events have important lessons for the U.S. Our government cannot forever borrow and spend 10 percent of gross domestic product each year, with an impending entitlements fiasco, to boot. Sooner or later, we will have to fix our finances, too. Europe's experience is a warning that austerity — a program of sharp budget cuts and (even) higher tax rates, but largely putting off "structural reforms" for a sunnier day — is a dangerous path.
Why is austerity causing such economic difficulty? What else should we do?
Lack of "stimulus" is the problem, say the Keynesians, epitomized by the New York Times and its columnist Paul Krugman, who has been crusading on this point. They claim that falling output in Europe is a direct consequence of declining government spending. Yes, 50 percent of GDP spent by the government is simply not enough to keep their economies going. They — and the U.S. — just need to spend more. A lot more.
Germany's Limits
Where will the money come from? Greece, Spain and Italy simply cannot borrow any more. So, say the Keynesians, Germany should pay. But even Germany has limits. The U.S. can still borrow at remarkably low rates. But remember that Greece was able to borrow at low rates right up to the moment that it couldn't borrow at all. There is nobody to bail out the U.S. when our time comes. What should we do then?
The traditional Keynesian answer was: Move on to monetary stimulus. Deliberately inflate and devalue. Break up the euro so the southern European countries can inflate and devalue even more.
Lately, Keynesians have been pushing an even more audacious idea: Deficits pay for themselves. In a March 17 column, Krugman wrote: "there's a plausible case that spending more now actually improves the long-run fiscal picture."
U.S. federal revenue is less than 20 percent of GDP. For deficit spending to pay for itself, then, $1 of spending must create more than $5 of output. Economists have been arguing about whether this "multiplier" is more or less than one; five is beyond any reported estimate. Keynesians made fun of "supply siders" in the 1980s, who made similar claims for tax cuts. At least those cuts had incentives on their side, which stimulus doesn't.
Is there another explanation, and a more plausible way forward?
The stimulus explanation is curious for what it omits. Think of Greece.
Is it irrelevant that Greece is 100th on the World Bank's "ease of doing business" list, behind Yemen; 135th on "starting a business" and 155th on "protecting investors?" Is it irrelevant that professions from truck driving to pharmacies are still rigorously protected, that businesses can't fire people, that (according to a Greek colleague) you can't even get a driver's license without paying a bribe? Does it not matter at all that, as the International Monetary Fund delicately put it in its latest report on Greece, the "structural reform program" aimed at "deeply ingrained structural rigidities in labor, product, and service markets" got nowhere?
Greek Taxes
Doesn't it matter that Greece has a high combination of individual, corporate, wealth and social taxes? True, Greeks famously don't pay taxes, but businesses that must operate illegally to avoid taxes are much less efficient.
Money is fleeing Greece, Italy and Spain. Does talk of exiting the euro, followed quickly by devaluation, inflation (the IMF predicts 35 percent in Greece, should it leave) and capital controls, have nothing to do with lack of investment?
Keynesians urge devaluation to gain competitiveness. Greek wages have in fact declined about 10 percent to 12 percent, according to the IMF. Yet investment and production aren't turning around. Greek "demand" needn't matter — the whole point of the euro area is that Greece can sell to Germany, so long as Greece stays in the euro area. But it isn't happening. Is that a mystery? Would lower wages compel you to invest money in Greece; surmount a thicket of regulation; and expose yourself to the threats of wealth, property and business taxation, currency expropriation and capital controls, or even nationalization?
In sum, isn't it plausible that a good part of Europe's austerity doldrums are linked to "supply," not "demand;" "microeconomics," not "macroeconomics;" weeds in the economic garden, not a want of fertilizer? Isn't it plausible that factors beyond simple declines in government spending matter in a debt crisis?
That insight suggests a different strategy: Let's call it "Growth Now." Forget about "stimulating." Spend only on what is really needed. We could easily stop subsidies for agriculture, electric cars or building roads and bridges to nowhere right now, without fearing a recession.
Rather than raise taxes further on the "rich," driving them underground, abroad, or away from business formation, fix the tax code, as every commission has recommended. Lower marginal rates but eliminate the maze of deductions. In Europe, eliminate the fears of wealth confiscation, euro breakup and currency devaluation that are driving savings and investment out of the south. Most of all, remove the profusion of regulation and (increasingly) direct government management of the economy.
Italy's Deregulation
Europe is beginning to figure this out. Italy's prime minister, Mario Monti, is addressing his country's debt crisis by proposing far-reaching deregulation, now. While his proposals aren't complete or close to radical enough, and they are combined with some unfortunate business-stifling tax increases, it's remarkable that anyone in Europe is beginning to talk about this.
"Structural reform" is vital to restore growth now, not a vague idea for many years in the future when the stimulus has worked its magic. It's also a lot harder politically than the breezy language suggests. "Reform" isn't just "policy" handed down by technocrats like rules on the provenance of prosciutto; it involves taking away subsidies and interventions that entrenched interests have grown to love, and have supported politicians to protect. They will fight it tooth and nail.
That is even more reason to address this now, while there is a crisis. The will to do so may evaporate if better times return, and the ability to do so might disappear if the economies plunge.

FreeRunner GPS antenna repair SOP
From Openmoko
1. GPS Antenna CON(CON7601),there are bad soldering issues with this PIN.
2. Need to re-solder PIN to improve connection.
3. There are deformities in the internal GPS connector.
4. Use tweezers to pinch the antenna back to original form.
5. Now try re-connecting the antenna. The antenna should 'snap' into place of the connector locking itself firmly. If it is loose and does not snap, it is possible there will be quality issues.

The Washington Post is reporting that tests have linked the DNA of pitcher Roger Clemens to the blood in syringes that his former trainer Brian McNamee says he used to inject his client.
Clemens has always claimed he never used performance-enhancing drugs and told that to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last year.
It was at that hearing that McNamee claimed he had injected the superstar pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone. Clemens said he was injected with B-12 shots and pain medication. (Photo by Pablo Martinez Monsivais, AP)
Rusty Hardin, the attorney for Clemens, dismissed any DNA tests connected to the trainer.
"It will still be evidence fabricated by McNamee," Hardin said. "I would be dumbfounded if any responsible person ever found this to be reliable or credible evidence in any way."
Hardin will get to listen to more of McNamee's statements. The trainer is scheduled to appear on The Howard Stern Show on Monday.
McNamee is not expected to talk about Clemens but he could react to being called a "gate crasher" and a "hustler" by former pitcher David Cone in The Yankee Years. The just-published book is by former manager Joe Torre and Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated.
"Brian is tired of walking on egg shells," said Steve Cardillo, a friend of the trainer's. "He won't discuss the ongoing stuff with Clemens, but there is no reason why he can't talk about Joe Torre driving the bus over him. He's a little tweaked at that. He's a little tweaked at (David) Cone, too."

Stars Who Turned Down Legendary Roles
Stars Who Turned Down Legendary Roles
take care!
Will Smith - Neo in 'The Matrix'
Will Smith has starred in some of the biggest moneymaking blockbusters of all time, from 'Independence Day' to the 'Men in Black' franchise, but he had the opportunity to have another legendary franchise at one point in time.
Smith was originally offered the role of Neo in 'The Matrix,' before turning it down to make the notorious flop 'Wild, Wild West' alongside Kevin Kline. The huge success of the franchise hasn't seemed to bother Will all that much. Will has said, "You know, 'The Matrix' is a difficult concept to pitch. In the pitch, I just didn't see it. I watched Keanu's performance – and very rarely do I say this – but I would have messed it up."
take care!
Matt Damon - 'Avatar' and 'The Dark Knight'
With Academy Award acclaim from the outset of his career, thanks to penning and playing the lead in 'Good Will Hunting,' Matt Damon is no stranger to cinematic success, especially when you consider he has starred in the 'Ocean's' franchise, the 'Bourne' trilogy, and 'Saving Private Ryan.'
Damon did, however, pass up on two of the highest-grossing movies of all time. He turned down the lead in James Cameron's 'Avatar' (the highest-grossing film in history) due to a scheduling conflict with 'The Bourne Ultimatum;' and he passed on the role of Harvey Dent in 'The Dark Knight' due to filming conflicts with Clint Eastwood's 'Invictus.'
take care!
Jack Nicholson - Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather'
One legendary actor had the opportunity to play one of the greatest characters in cinematic history before another legend was handed the role of a lifetime.
Jack Nicholson, not Al Pacino, was the first one offered the role of Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather.' Nicholson turned it down because, as he once said, "I knew 'The Godfather' was going to be a great film, but at that time I believed Indians should play roles written for Indians and Italians should do the same." Considering Jack appeared in the likes of 'Easy Rider,' 'The Last Detail,' 'Five Easy Pieces,' 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and 'Chinatown' within a handful of years of 'The Godfather,' he obviously survived passing on the role.
take care!
Johnny Depp - Ferris Bueller
This is a hard switch to picture, but it would have definitely changed the face of one of the biggest comedy hits of all time; Johnny Depp was originally offered the lead in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' before Matthew Broderick ended up landing his career-defining role. Like Smith, Damon and Nicholson, Johnny Depp seems to have landed on his feet since then.
take care!
Leonardo DiCaprio - Dirk Diggler in 'Boogie Nights'
Leonardo DiCaprio starred in the film that stood as the highest-grossing film for years and the blockbuster that made him a bona fide movie star, 'Titanic;' but, the film he passed on to make it still stands as the biggest regret of his career.
Leo was offered the iconic role of Dirk Diggler in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Boogie Nights' before Mark Wahlberg dug into the starring role. DiCaprio told GQ, "'Boogie Nights' is a movie I loved and I wish I would've done...I'm a huge fan of [director] Paul Thomas Anderson, but the first time I met him for that role I hadn't really seen much of his previous work. Now I love that movie."
take care!
Molly Ringwald - 'Pretty Woman' and 'Ghost'
Believe it or not, 80s "it girl" Molly Ringwald of 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Sixteen Candles,' and 'The Breakfast Club' fame, was offered the leads in both 'Pretty Woman' and 'Ghost.' Ringwald's decision to pass on both of those roles certainly didn't help her career, but those decisions helped to make Julia Roberts and Demi Moore breakout Hollywood stars.
take care!
Kevin Costner - Andy Dufresne in 'The Shawshank Redemption'
Kevin Costner was one of the biggest movie stars on the planet for the majority of the 80s and the early 90s. Sadly, Costner's reign took a devastating blow when he decided to pursue his disastrous passion project of 'Waterworld' (one of the biggest bombs in film history), instead of taking the legendary role of Andy Dufresne in 'The Shawshank Redemption.'
take care!
Emily Blunt - Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2'
Successful, young British actress Emily Blunt of 'The Devil Wears Prada,' 'The Adjustment Bureau,' and 'Looper' fame, missed out on the opportunity to be a part of a massive franchise. Blunt was originally offered the role of Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2,' which ultimately went to Scarlett Johansson, because Blunt already had a scheduling conflict with 'Gulliver's Travels,' a film that would go on to be a box office bomb.
take care!
Sean Connery - 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Matrix'
Screen legend Sir Sean Connery could have had two late-career blockbuster franchises under his belt in addition to his decades of hit movies. Connery was offered both the role of Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and Morpheus in 'The Matrix' trilogy. In the years since turning down the roles, Connery has admitted to regretting his decisions.
take care!
Tom Selleck - Indiana Jones
It may be hard to wrap your head around it, but Harrison Ford was not the first actor that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas pursued for the role of Indiana Jones in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' 'Magnum P.I.' star Tom Selleck was offered the genuinely iconic role first, but he had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with his hit TV show.
take care!

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and plan your trip to the World Cup in South Africa next month. It should be lots of fun. BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE ALIEN PRAWNS! Only cat food will keep them at bay! LET'S GO!
CAVALIERS VS. CELTICS – 8:00PM (ESPN) Sports take the center stage tonight, as LeBron James and the Cavaliers face extinction at the hands of Boston. LeBron played horribly on Tuesday night as the Celtics took a 3-2 lead in the series, and now we are left with the possibility that this will be the final game James plays in a Cavaliers uniform. And if James should decide to bolt his home state (he grew up in Akron) for the bright lights of New York, I fully expect Cleveland to catch on fire and spiral down into a pit of economic despair from which there is no recovery. Then, Eminem will shoot a movie there. ANTICIPATION: WINNER LOSES TO DWIGHT HOWARD!
PARKS AND RECREATION – 8:30PM (NBC) Tonight's the big night at Parks and Rec as Rob Lowe and Adam Scott join for a multi-episode arc that will go through next season. Co-creator Michael Schur said Lowe could become a permanent cast member. Scott (THE EFFING CATALINA WINE MIXER!) will likely take over Paul Schneider's place in the cast for good. And yet, Detlef Schrempf only stays for a single episode. So very bittersweet. ANTICIPATION: HIGH
AIR FORCE ONE – 8:00PM (TNT) Watch this movie and remember to yourself that Harrison Ford hasn't made a truly good movie since "The Fugitive" back in 1993. Isn't that awful? What happened to this guy? Why do old actors like he and De Niro now all but guarantee a lousy two hours? Male stars used to age gracefully, like Paul Newman. I dunno what happened with Ford. I think aliens possessed his body. ANTICIPATION: GET OFF MY PLANE, GARY OLDMAN!
SURVIVOR – 8:00PM (CBS) The survivors jockey for time with loved ones. These people are loved? ANTICIPATION: CONJUGAL VISITS!
TRUE LIFE: I HAVE A PARENT IN PRISON – 10:00PM (MTV) His name is Bernie Madoff, and while you know him as that dirtbag who swindled people out of billions, I just think of him as Dad. ANTICIPATION: SAD!

Think you're done when the paint is dry? Finish the car with a little Show-Car Prep
We stood in the faint outline of blue that surrounded the Rambler like an upside-down halo greeting the unusually high number of gawkers that came to see the art. "This paint on the decklid looks a little iffy" was the first comment to break the silence.
We understand that right after you paint a car, you are going to get attention. So we were prepared for everyone to look down the body and make mental notes of each warble of paint and each unworked paint chip just so they could point them out. Since the price of a good paint job has easily crested $5,000, the expectation of perfection has become absurd. But right after you tell people you did it yourself, for around $1,000, in the garage, they usually stop complaining and you get a little credit.
For the CC/Rambler, we chose a dual-stage metallic called Barbados Blue. Because it's a dual-stage, a flat base-color coat is applied followed by a clearcoat. There were some mistakes in the Rambler's basecoat we laid down in last month's issue, and since we hadn't applied the clear, it wasn't too late to fix them. We were also going to use the secret weapon often called the cut-and-buff that from the days before the advent of catalyzed and single- and dual-stage urethanes. Since old-school lacquer used to go down dull, shops would use a pasty compound to knock down high spots and remove imperfections. When that was covered with a huge coat of wax, the job looked great. That same technique can be used on the clearcoat on a two-stage urethane job for the same effect. Here's how to do it.

I kind of love 12:01, the TV movie which had the misfortune to appear in the same year as Groundhog Day, which had the same basic plot. Because 12:01 uses its premise well, and has a pretty sweet love story.
Okay, so it's a slightly cheesy moment, especially if you haven't seen the rest of the film. But I still really like it, both for the explanation of why the whole world being stuck in a time loop would be so terrible, and for the sweet way that Jonathan Silverman rattles off all the stuff he's learned about Helen Slater: her favorite number, her favorite color, her favorite band, and what she wrote on the gravestone of her pet canary when it died.
I also like the fact that this movie has a science fictional explanation for the "time bounce" — it's a supercollider thingy gone wrong — and that Helen Slater gets to be a kick-ass physicist prodigy. A much better use of her talents than Supergirl.
The thing that 12:01 does that's really neat, and different from Groundhog Day, is that the main character is a nerdy but decent person who gets his heart broken every day. Every day, around 6 PM, Helen Slater's character gets gunned down by people who turn out to be connected to the reasons for the time bounce. For a good part of the movie, no matter what the hero does, he can't stop Helen Slater from getting killed over and over. And meanwhile, he's in love with her, even though she starts each day not knowing who he is.
It's not the greatest movie ever, but if you see 12:01 airing on Syfy in one of its occasional late-night repeats, it's definitely worth watching. And given that there are a few new movies that use the "Groundhog Day" concept coming out in the next year or two, this is a good movie to watch for comparison purposes. (There's also this and this.)
In case you missed our definitive list of "Groundhog Day" time loop stories, it's here.
Here's a review of the DVD, from DVD Talk.

Nepal Youth Pictures Inequality, Wins Photo Contest
Available in Español, Français
Among the evocative winning photos in the World Bank's recent "Picture Inequality" contest was one that hit home for me.
It shows a skinny teenager crushing stones so they could be used to construct gravel roads in Nepal. The picture captured the sense of helplessness many youth feel in Nepal, a landlocked country in South Asia that is struggling to recover from a decade-long civil war. And it brought to mind the saying a photograph is worth a thousand words.
The photographer, Niraj Prasad Koirala, 24, of Nepal, was one of 10 winners whose photographs and statements best captured inequality and described how they would make a better world. Koirala's photo was one of 11 chosen by a panel of experts from 756 photos received between October 25 and December 16, 2012.
"I was very happy when I got to read the winning message from the World Bank. It was my one of the greatest moments in life," says Koirala.

The German Design Award recognises innovative products and projects, their manufacturers and designers that are pioneering in the German and international design landscape.
It was organised by the German Design Council, which was initiated by the German parliament in 1953 and founded by the Confederation of German Industry (BDI). Founded in 1953 as a foundation on the initiative of the German parliament, it supports the economy in achieving added brand value through design.
The luxury brand Graf von Faber-Castell, launched in 1993, is still guided by the standard defined by Lothar von Faber in the 4th generation of the company – the pursuit of the highest quality – focusing special attention on the world of writing by hand.
Besides the natural materials, it is primarily the combination of premium woods with precious metals and meticulous craftsmanship that make the vital contribution to the uniqueness of the collection.
