Columbus, Ohio (CNN) - President Obama told graduates Sunday that "the institutions that give structure to our society have at times betrayed your trust" but called on young people to take a more active role in the political process as part of the solution.
Obama delivered his first commencement address of the spring to nearly 10,000 graduates at The Ohio State University in Columbus. He urged students to reject the "voices" that "incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's the root of our all our problems, even as they do their best to gum up the works."

On the stage in Ohio Stadium, Obama told the crowd that "your democracy does not function without your active participation. At a bare minimum, that means voting, eagerly and often. It means knowing who's been elected to make decisions on your behalf, what they believe in and whether or not they deliver."
His comments came exactly one year after Obama went to the heart of the key battleground state of Ohio to officially kick off his re-election campaign with a rally at The Ohio State University.
On Sunday he called for voters to hold officials accountable, saying, "if they let you down, there's a built-in day in November where you can really let them know that's not OK."
"I'm not going to get partisan, because that's not what citizenship is about," the president said. And he invoked the words President George W. Bush used in a graduation address in the same stadium, saying, "America needs more than taxpayers, spectators and occasional voters. America needs full-time citizens."
But Obama seemed to refer to the congressional defeat of stronger background checks for gun buyers and other parts of his domestic agenda when he told the graduates, "when we abdicate that authority, we grant our silent consent to someone who'll gladly claim it. That's how we end up with lobbyists who set the agenda, policies detached from what middle-class families face every day, the well-connected who publicly demand that Washington stay out of their business, then whisper in its ear for special treatment that you don't get. That's how a small minority of lawmakers get cover to defeat something the vast majority of their constituents want."
The president's remarks came as the administration vowed that the defeat of the background check measure was not the end of the fight. Obama spoke out on the gun issue on his trip to Mexico City last week, and Vice President Joe Biden wrote a Sunday opinion piece in the Houston Chronicle as the National Rifle Association met there.
Obama called on graduates on "harness the ingenuity of your generation" to tackle issues like gun violence, climate change, road and airport repairs and education. "We can always aspire to something more. That doesn't depend on who you elect to office. It depends upon you as citizens, how big you want to be, and how badly you want it.
"I dare you to do better", he added, "I dare you to be better. From what I have seen of your generation, I have no doubt you will".
In his Ohio State speech, Obama said he's been "obsessed" with the idea of keeping citizenship alive at the national level, "not just on Election Day or in times of tragedy," because he spends most of his time in Washington, "a place that sorely needs it."
He told the students "you don't have to run for office yourself," later saying, "only you can ultimately break the cycle."
In lighter moments during the commencement, Obama donned a black hat with an Ohio State O on it. He joked about speaking at archrival University of Michigan graduation in 2010, referring to a "certain university up north."
To laughs, he said he had been to OSU's campus five times recently and added, "to be fair, you did let President Ford speak here once, and he played football for Michigan."
Obama teased students about eating breakfast so late, at 11:30 a.m. when he dropped by a campus eatery during one stop. But he mispronounced the name of Sloopy's, named for the song that's an OSU tradition. He asked for forgiveness, noting that it's a Sunday after a foreign trip. He returned from Costa Rica on Saturday evening.
USA is so blessed to have him. It is the time for young to involve in political process to work for the nation without greed and ulterior motives.
Obama makes another speech big deal. How about he does his job and starts workin for the American people who elected him! Instead of whining about the circumstances he was left with or goin to Mexico makin promises to them. Or campaigning for his party at our expense close to 50% did not vote for Obama so alot of us that didn't would like him to do his job.
USA is so blessed to have him? REALLY? We are cursed. The young people need to hear those "voices," about the corrupt government we have, starting with him. He is accountable too, unfortunately people made the wrong choice, and he knows it; we can not tell him in November that is not O.K. He has his friends whispering in his ear for special treatments, and they get them at all times. How he can read his speech with a straight face, is beyond me.
Technically, it is possible to agree that tyranny is not lurking around the corner.
Because it is entering into your house. Carried in your wallet. Baking in your kitchen. In your child's standardized test.
Why would the Professident even tell people who are learning to think for themselves what views to reject or accept?
USA is so blessed to have him. It is the time for young to involve in political process to work for the nation without greed and ulterior motives.
Yes , it's great to witness truthful insperation as well as compassion .
Boy I feel sorry for those Ohio grads! We are so cursed to have such a bozo as President. The nerve of him challenging those grads to do better. When he himself can't even do his own job! We still have gridlock in DC, his jobs ideas have been a waste of time. His healthcare law has about Akilled most small businesses. Meantime he is busy worrying about immigration of all things, lets keep Mexico happy! They don't pay you Obama we do! When will you start doin Obamas job that Obama was elected to do? Do what's best for American citizens not Mexicans or Unions or anyone else.
Why are we cursing those poor Ohio grads forcing them to listen to Obama? I truly feel sorry for them.
I hope they let his speech go in one ear and out the other. He has been the most useless politically motivated President we've had in quite awhile. He has a lot of nerve challenging anybody to do better. I challenge Obama to do his job, and act in Our best interest, I know he won't so it doesn't really matter!
Cue conservative wing nuts who will undoubtably try to politicize this. Come on guys. EVERY President has spoken at graduations before. This is nothing new.
Cue right-wing head explosions in 3,2,1...
Hey Obama, shut up and stop trying to destroy the country. You are a Commie piece of garbage
So was Obama honest with them??? Did Obama wish them all luck in finding a job because a very large number will not thanks to Obama and his failed policies. Or did he tell them they were in luck because now they can go back home and live in their parents basement for 5 years while their parents get saddled with their medical coverage because they can't find a job? But I'm sure he told all those kids that he will ultimately saddle them with 10-12 TRILLION in debt to repay down the road, in addition to all the debt they rang up only to be under or unemployed now. Oh, and by the way, since Obama has no interest in fixing social security or medicare, they probably won't be there for these kids. Yeah, didn't think so... Obama, the most dishonest, divisive President this country has ever had.
This is fatherly. Its so peaceful, so relaxing. Is there any food menu like warpie in US Universities?......these breeds should cultivate peace, laugh & cry peacefully.....no get involved in long term wars without achievable objectives.
You think young people aren't greedy or have ulterior motives? lol... These graduates are about to have to face their student loans, with little to no work that matches the price they payed for their education. Then face a national debt that is unpayable within their life times, and not have any of the retirement safe nets prfovided to their parents. Only the greedy there will thrive.

Border wall is not 'who we are,' says Rep. Thompson
Clip: 01/11/2019 | 6m 25s
What's the impact for national security when those who work to keep us safe aren't getting paid? Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, says DHHS and TSA employees are still doing their jobs. He tells Judy Woodruff that a physical wall would conflict with American values and that it's "unfortunate" the president is relying on fear to make policy.

There's no need to stare at unadorned walls in your bathroom. Treated canvas prints are water resistant and affordable. Go for oversized proportions for the best visual impact. For a unique look, have a local printer blow up a favorite photo into customized wall art. Nowadays, custom printers can create canvas prints and even laminate them for water resistance. When thinking of bathroom decorating ideas for art, think beyond a canvas print. A wall gallery of favorite objects like starfish or baskets can be another way to decorate your bathroom walls.
Once you've upgraded the lighting quality of your bathroom, paint is the next quick and easy upgrade to the bathroom. Pick light colors for large surfaces like the walls and save the darker, richer tones for accents. Check how your color choices look in your upgraded lighting before you paint, since color temperature can change a color's shade. Paint your walls with the perfect shade you selected. It's no longer necessary to choose gloss in a bathroom to combat moisture, ask the paint shop to add an additive to matte paint to keep it from mildewing. Don't just paint the walls — purchase an eggshell or semi-gloss paint and paint the cabinets, too

Coca-Cola's Fuze Beverage Makes False Claims of Reducing Risk of Cancer, Heart Disease, Flu, Kidney Infection, More
CSPI Says Fuze Quacks Like a Duck and Urges FDA to Take Aim
WASHINGTON—To hear Coca-Cola tell it, the tea and fruit drinks it sells under its Fuze brand will help you avoid cancer, heart disease, colds, flu, and infections of the lungs and kidneys. The Center for Science in the Public Interest says those claims are unfounded and illegal and today urged the Food and Drug Administration to take enforcement action against the company.
Labels for Fuze Vitalize blackberry grape claim that its Vitamin A "helps reinforce resistance to colds, influenza & infections of the kidneys, bladder and lungs." Fuze Oolong Tea claims that "regular consumption of Polyphenols are associated with reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease and certain cancers." The vitamin B3 in the four flavors of Fuze Refresh is "known to improve circulation and reduce the cholesterol level in the blood," according to the Fuze web site. None of those claims have been approved by the FDA.
"Fuze drinks won't do anything for your kidneys, your lungs, or your heart; nor will they lower your cholesterol or prevent you from catching a cold," says CSPI senior nutritionist David Schardt. "Fuze quacks like a duck, and the Food and Drug Administration should be shooting these wacky claims out of the sky."
Some Fuze drinks are sweetened with crystalline fructose, which researchers believe is a significant contributor to obesity. (Incredibly, labels for Fuze Oolong Tea boast "no high fructose corn syrup," yet it has crystalline fructose, which is likely worse. That same label claims it has as much "antioxidant capacity as 3 servings of vegetables.") Some Fuze drinks actually have up to 25 grams of sugars per 8-ounces, making those Fuzes about as caloric as typical sodas. Some have the artificial sweeteners sucralose and/or acesulfame potassium. Some have skim milk; some have 1 percent to 5 percent fruit juice or purees; all have some vitamins or minerals in various amounts; some have herbs such as ginseng or guarana.
Schardt and CSPI litigation director Steve Gardner urged the FDA to take Fuze off the market until the company complies with federal food labeling law.
Coca-Cola purchased Fuze earlier this year as part of its campaign to sell drinks with a more healthful aura. Coca-Cola is no stranger when it comes to unsubstantiated health claims on drinks. CSPI is suing Coca-Cola over claims that its new green-tea flavored soda Enviga "burns calories," "speeds metabolism," and promotes weight loss.
CSPI publishes Nutrition Action Healthletter, which in its November issue examines immunity-related claims on Fuze and other similarly situated products.

Topics include: Halloween programs she's curating for Network Awesome (Oct 30, 2014), art and films, life in Berlin and other upcoming projects.
A SUPER REVIEW OF ZEENA'S WORK by Stanley Gemmell [poet, author, performance artist & co-founder of The Rush-Ins Poetry Project]:
"ZEENA's art is fascinating. Maintaining a lucid awareness between the mediated roles of artist and academic, theorist and practitioner, her art is yet generous enough to question such ambiguity. Her piece "Ladders" questions not only Euclidean Geometry, but the formalist expansion of Western Metaphysics it stands for."

From an interview with Zeena for Obsküre Magazine:
"The notorious 8-8-88 Rally was the only time the old line up of Radio Werewolf and the yet-to-be new line up of Radio Werewolf worked together. It would be the only performance that Nikolas, the original percussionist Evil Wilhelm, and I ever performed live together. That marked the transition point spanning three phases of Radio Werewolf: 1) the Nikolas Schreck/Evil Wilhelm collaboration, 2) the solo Nikolas Schreck (The Fiery Summons), and 3) the Nikolas Schreck/Zeena collaboration."

44 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH - From the Zeena Schreck Archives Posted to ZEENA – Official Zeena Schreck Facebook page:
Photo essay of the Church of Satan, from the September 1969 issue of Finnish Men's Magazine 'Jallu', included the founder's then 5 year-old daughter Zeena [Schreck]. Text by Finnish-born photo-journalist, swinging '60s socialite, and San Francisco resident, Tabe Slioor.
Photo caption: "Even the devil himself has a modern kitchen, but with no lack of satanic aspects. His Swedish-born wife declined to appear in the photographs, but daughter Zeena did without hesitation. To her, her father's job is a job, just like other professions."
From the article: "The kitchen is modern and spacious. There I also met with LaVey's 5-year-old daughter Zeena, who didn't have satanic features, at least not visibly. She had long fair hair like her mother. But when I chatted with the girl more closely, I saw that her eyes had a penetrating look, which I couldn't get to the bottom of. Perhaps that was due to the fact that her father's profession wasn't like others, perhaps that unusual look was for another reason..."

"We all have vices, visible and invisible. Some we deliberately keep secret. Others we don't even realize or we refuse to admit we have. We enjoy flaunting the vices that are colorful and socially acceptable enough. We laugh about the guilty pleasures we're embarrassed to admit, or the vices we doggedly believe are good for us. There's no special country where you can avoid vices. Nor a place that's better equipped than others to indulge in them. There's no commune that can protect you from them or expensive clinic able to keep you free of all vices. Because just when you isolate yourself from one category of vices, others appear to take their place. Every conceivable vice has its own online forums, chatrooms, cults, self-help groups, opponents, proponents, and pimps. Vices can be lots of fun, or they can turn your life into a living hell. Accept them for what they are, just another aspect of the mind's creation, and you can enjoy them - if you choose - without being broken by them.

Photo – A Still from the film Usher: Zeena as Sapphic Poet, Fabrice Uzan as the butler Pierre, Curtis Harrington as Madeline Usher
Zeena & Nikolas Schreck in Curtis Harrington's Film USHER – Now on Blu-ray June 2013
On June 25th, 2013, The Curtis Harrington Short Film Collection including USHER will officially be released on Blu-ray along with several other classic short films from the 1940s and 50s by the cult director.
The release is a joint effort between Flicker Alley and Drag City featuring restorations carried out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Film Archive.
Regarding Zeena's involvement in the making of Usher visit SCREEN/STAGE page on this site at:
REVIEW - Excerpts From Soiled Sinema's review of Curtis Harrington's film USHER :
''Curtis Harrington was certainly someone who had found solace in the darkness and Usher is certainly no exception to his life of glistening in the shadows. Partially founded by the brokering of his signed copy of Aleister Crowley's The Book of Thoth : A Short Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians by ex-Church of Satan members/occultists Zeena (daughter of CoS founder Anton LaVey) and Nikolas Schreck, Usher was Harrington's first film in nearly two decades ... Featuring a number of idiosyncratic party guests, including a priest (ironically played by ex-Satanist Nikolas Schreck), a doctor, a butch blonde lesbian poetess (Zeena Schreck, daughter and 'magical killer' of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey), and a couple bloated ...bluebloods, the birthday party begins merrily with wine and party masks...''
''A true 'auteur' piece summing up the dark, foreboding, and transcendental thread that defines director Curtis Harrington's entire career as an experimental avant-garde filmmmaker turned cult horror master ... the final expression of a man who lived and breathed movies, especially of the absurdly melodramatic campy horror variety ... Usher is truly the last testament of an auteur filmmaker whose dreams were too big and idiosyncratic for the likes of the monetary-inclined culture-distorters of Hollywood, yet whose artistic spirit still managed to prevail in the end with one last work of conspicuously campy and creepy celluloid poetry ... Usher, like great wine (incidentally, Harrington's favorite choice of drink), is the finespun product of maturity and purity.''

Radio Werewolf'sThe Vinyl Solution - Analog Artifacts: Ritual Instrumentals and Undercover Versions – CD now available at NORMAL MASS MARKET PRICE €15
From "Hail the Werewolf" Blog at http://styxhexenhammer666.blogspot.de/2012/12/radio-werewolf-vinyl-solution-review.html
I figured that I would make a review of the new Radio Werewolf album here, as I just got my copy in the mail, and trust me, less than 5 minutes later it was playing in my computers' CD drive (It will be amusing as well to pop it into the car and blast the music, confusing others with all the windows down.)
This is a very good quality piece- for those who have listened to Radio Werewolf's work before we have a dual problem- most of the tracks were taken from vinyl (which ensures they have somewhat low quality to begin with) and most of them are being listened to through Youtube, which further degrades the quality.
This piece has been masterfully restored, and starts out with a prologue piece from the Zurich Experiment in 1991, then goes on to 6 tracks from "The Lightning and the Sun" and 4 tracks from "Bring me the Head of Geraldo Rivera" (The best album title ever.)
It finishes with the Schrecks' tribute tracks to the SIN-atras, which I imagine pissed off Sinatra fans when they found out who had covered the songs.
The 14th track is a "mystery bonus track:" I could tell you what it is but, suffice it to say it's a cover song, which a lot of folks would enjoy.
Of course, these works are from Radio Werewolf's more ambient/experimental period, particularly with "Sleepwalker" (My favorite song from the later Radio Werewolf works) you can hear the atmospheric sound, and you can feel the mystic intent behind such works. A dark rainy night is the perfect atmosphere to listen to most of their immortal, subversive work!
Definitely worth buying.

"[...]The next night I go out again. 31st Avenue. A little misty but no need for the umbrella yet. A little nervous until I get my pace going. No one walks this far down. 30th Avenue. Look around, all clear, nobody there this time - cross. Start writing again, get into the swing of the sounds. Right. Get into the senses again, get into it. A bus hisses past. Late-night burning oil of Chinese take-out. Creeping smoke from cheerless bars. The desolate one or two bulbs in an apartment building filled with worker-drones already asleep, maybe always asleep.[...]"
CLICK HERE for brief excerpt from Zeena's A Short History of Buddhism in Berlin
"[...]A young couple bundled in Himalayan mountain gear couldn't take their eyes off the bug. They were spellbound. The girl clutched her cheeks. Her boyfriend frowned exaggerated inquiry. Another woman in back scooted away. Others craned their necks to get a better look. Whispered debates over its species went on too long. Is it a beetle? Or a cockroach?! I sat close enough to the creature to see that it was just a fly.[...]"

Temporarily unavailable. A new updated version of The Manson File: Myth and Reality of an Outlaw Shaman is coming soon.
The Manson File: Myth and Reality of an Outlaw Shaman by Nikolas Schreck - regular priced mass market English edition at 39 Euros (excl. shipping). To order click PayPal button.
(Note: Signed limited edition sold out. Mass market edition is not autographed.)
Summing up 25 years of Nikolas Schreck's research into the Charles Manson phenomenon, this Book of Revelations illuminates unknown dimensions of Manson as philosopher, musician, Gnostic mystic, Mafia fall guy, revolutionary, and friend, lover and drug dealer to 1960s Hollywood's best-known rock stars and movie idols.
The first comprehensive study of Manson's life, times, crimes, and thought, this is the ultimate guide to the Manson mysteries, portraying the human being behind the media-created monster's many masks.
Drawing on police evidence suppressed during Manson's trial, Schreck exposes the "Helter Skelter" legend as one of the twentieth century's greatest cover-ups, unveils the hidden Mafia drug-dealing background of the "Manson murders" and traces the underworld connections linking the victims to their killers. The author's recent conversations with Manson and others directly involved in the psychedelic era's apocalypse allow the true story kept secret for decades to be told at last.

Of course 'the media' is not a single entity, but a bewildering mishmash of local print, digital editions, blogs, social media, and even email lists at the state, national and international levels. But despite the vast increase in the way news is being shaped today, many still believe that eventually the Truth will percolate up through this democratization of news. But for the public to navigate rapidity in a changing world the news must quickly tend towards an accurate model of reality or, like one of your senses, you're in trouble. It's why people get eye glasses.
How the media has handled the three-decade-old issue of human-caused Climate Change is like (using the eye-glasses analogy) wearing an old set of glasses even though your eyes are aging. You're going to bump into things. We are bumping into extreme weather, longer growing seasons, and the migration of flora and fauna right under our feet, but are unable to see them as Climate Change through the lens of a media ill-adapted to seeing the long-term (in human time) and controversial (in political terms) physics of Climate Change.
A new report "Emerging Consensus Shows Climate Change Already Having Major Effects on Ecosystems and Species " put out by the US Geological Society in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation and Arizona State University highlights how the media (and I think I can throw most 'media' into this gross generalization here) is ill-adapted to handle Climate Change. This report was released on December 18, 2012, which is long enough back to note that it has received little media attention. And even those media that do mention the report tend not to explain its importance.
It's instructive, before mentioning the details of what's in the report, to understand why it was written. This report is part of the federal obligation to report to the President and Congress on what has been learned thus far about Climate Change under the Global Change Research Act of 1990.
Federal law requires that the U.S. Global Change Research Program submit an assessment of climate change and its impacts to the President and the Congress once every four years. Technical reports, articles and books – such as this report -- underpin the corresponding chapters of the Third U.S. National Climate Assessment, due out in 2013. This technical report is available at the USGCRP website, as are other completed technical reports. Additional lead authors of this report include Shawn Carter, USGS: F. Stuart Chapin III, University of Alaska, Fairbanks; Peter Kareiva, The Nature Conservancy; and Mary Ruckelshaus, Natural Capital Project.
This report is an advanced release which will be part of this year's Our Changing Planet (OCP), a series of official reports from 1991-2012 that include how these branches of government understand and will respond to Climate Change: Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of Human Services, NASA, National Science Foundation, The Smithsonian Institution, US Agency for International Development, United States Department of Agriculture, and The Environmental Protection Agency.
The report says, among other things, that our "Biodiversity and ecosystems are already more stressed than at any comparable period of human history. " If you cannot read the whole report, you should at least read these two pages (S-1 & S-2) Key Findings. When read and thought about objectively they provide a great insight into the nature of Climate Change and the level of human response needed. Clearly and officially, anything short of a massive effort to adapt to and mitigate Climate Change is irresponsible.
This report and the series of reports by our government and to our government on what is actually happening to our environment and what our government plans to do (despite all the hue and cry in the media) about Climate Change is not the usual stuff. These reports are not opinion polls, blog posts, local investigative reports, environmental action group reports, nor the studies of an international body not responsible to our government. They are official reports demanded by our own government so it can see Climate Change clearly. Astonishingly, the gulf between these official reports and what the media is reporting on our environment is wide indeed.
The media tends to report on polls of what the US population thinks of Climate Change at any one time, forever putting their finger to the wind to assess their journalistic objectivity. If they mention these reports at all, they tend to not connect the dots between what is stated and predicted in these official reports.
Why on an issue of physics, where we are all equal and subject to the same rules, is there such a deep chasm between what our government is telling itself about Climate Change and what our media is telling our citizens? Climate Change is like no other issue humanity has ever faced. Our media must change their role in our lives to reflect a world that is warming, no matter how unpleasant and inconvenient that may be to their subscribers.
That media which continues to spew doubt and inaction on a matter our government already understands as a clear and present danger should be held accountable. Accountable in the sense that you discard those old eyeglasses that no longer serve you well.

Micklagard: Surprising, cosmopolitan Constantinople
Any understanding of the modern history of the Balkans, Turkey and the Black Sea must include an understanding of the role and legacy of Byzantium. Judith Herrin, a professor at King's College London, has recently published a most readable and up to date history of it, which does not get lost in lists of emperors nor the confusing fine detail of Orthodox theology. The extracts come from a chapter called "A Cosmopolitan Society" in which she discusses just how mixed and varied was the population of Constantinople in late antiquity and in the middle ages. These verses were written by one John Tzertzes in the twelfth century as a welcome, except, in this case, for Jews:
One finds me Scythian among Scythians, Latin among
And also to Persians I speak in Persian…
To Alans I say in their tongue:
"Good day, my lord archontissa, where are you from?
Tapankhas mesfili khsina korthi kanda, and so on"…
Arabs, since they are Arabs, I address in Arabic…
And also I welcome the Ros according to their habits…
"Sdraste, brate, sestritza", and I say, "dobra deni".
To Jews I say in a proper manner in Hebrew:
"Your blind house devoted to magic, your mouth, a chasm
engulfing flies,
Memakomene beth fagi beelzebul timaie… "
Herrin observes that Tzertzes, "did not exaggerate the number of foreigners."
Indeed, he might have also have mentioned the more famous Varangian guard formed in 988 by Basil II, which included Russians, Scandinavians and Anglo-Saxons, or the German contingent settled in the their own quarter from the 1140s, or Catalans from Barcelona who also frequented the empire's markets and served as mercenaries in its armies.
"For centuries," writes Herren, "Byzantium had attracted adventurers, pirates, false prophets and heretics, all seeking their fortunes or an audience for their views, as well as merchants and mercenaries offering their services."
Armenians frequently found employment in the Byzantine armed forces. As the empire's reach expanded from the tenth century onwards, a larger orbit of countries and cultures became linked to it. One striking example occurred in 1034, when Harald Hardrada arrived in Constantinople with five hundred Vikings armed with their traditional double-headed axes. The young prince had been forced to leave Norway and travel to Byzantium via Novgorod, the Russian river routes and Christian colonies, over the rapids of the lower Dnieper and the Black Sea. In Constantinople, which the Norsemen called Micklagard (the Great City), he served for ten years with the Varangian guard and campaigned in Sicily. His success attracted other soldiers of fortune from Iceland, Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England, after the battle of Hastings in 1066. In addition to their duties as members of a professional fighting unit, they were stationed in the Great Palace as guard troops, marked out by their distinctive appearance and weaponry.

When Kareena Kapoor says that acting is in her genes, the actress, who represents the fourth generation of her family, is absolutely right as the Kapoor family enjoys about an 85-year long association with arclight, greasepaint and camera.
It was Kareena's great-grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor who laid down the foundation of acting in the family by entering showbiz in 1928, which was taken forward by his three sons - Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor whose wife Jennifer was the first female from the clan to act in movies.
Later, all three sons of Raj Kapoor - Randhir, Rishi and Rajeev faced the camera. In the fourth generation, it was Randhir and actress Babita's daughter Karisma who carried forward the legacy of her family. Later, Kareena followed in her sister's footsteps.
As Indian cinema celebrates its 100 years, talking about her association with filmdom, Kareena told IANS: "Being a Kapoor, acting is genetic. My sister paved the way for me in the industry when she became the first Kapoor girl to take up acting."
Reminiscing of filmdom as a child, Kareena said she would accompany Karisma, who entered filmdom in 1991 with "Prem Qaidi", to the sets and has grown up with the industry.
"As a child, I used to accompany Lolo (Karisma) to the sets of her films, so I've seen the industry grow and vice versa. I have nothing but the highest regards for the industry," said Kareena, who completes 13 years in filmdom and has been part of over 45 films, including hits like "Ajnabee", "Aitraaz", "Jab We Met" and "3 Idiots".

I'm a fan of Lore in a Minute!, a site that breaks down a game's lore and story in easily digestible, humorous movies. It's great for if you want to hop into a series midway through without going back and slogging through long, older games.
I headed over there to check out their fun new BioShock Lore in a Minute! video, and wound up going through a few old ones that I'd never seen.
I've wanted to get into the Kingdom Hearts games for a long time. Given the fact that it sounds like we're finally getting another HD version on consoles, it would probably be a good time to bone up on the story I'd missed.
So, I watched this video. I've always known that Kingdom Hearts had some dense lore, so it made sense that it took the folks at Lore In a Minute almost two minutes to sum up the story of Kingdom Hearts. But after watching it... I still have no idea what the hell is going on in Kingdom Hearts.
So, I have to ask: What the fuck is going on in these games? Does anyone really understand the story? Is it really as much of a clusterfuck as it seems?
I love a dense video game story as much as the next guy, but this seems absurd. Has anyone ever created a functional recap of the events of these games? Or is that part of the appeal?
If we get an HD Kingdom Hearts game, I hope that I'll be able to play it and understand at least some of what's going on. Or heck, maybe I can watch this video a couple dozen more times and see if I finally start to follow.

About artistrights
I completely agree that studios should focus on making good movies for less money in addition to the blockbusters that audiences clearly enjoy. However, I disagree that "it's not what we see. We see Hollywood being more timid, but rarely actually translating that timidity into focusing on more products with lower budgets and compelling storytelling." That generalization is overly broad, and provably false.
Paramount Pictures, for instance, has invested roughly $1-$2 million per year to produce 20-30 micro-budget films each year (compared to the 10 or so big-budget movies they release each year). The budgets for the films often don't exceed $100,000, and the films are not always slated for traditional theatrical distribution. If they are released, Paramount has rethought how they can be marketed and distributed inexpensively using digital distribution, grass-roots marketing campaigns, and midnight screenings, among other strategies. The head of Paramount's film group had this to say of the endeavor: "This gives us the ability to find new voices, new ideas, and potentially new movies to foster the most outrageous kinds of thinking." Paramount's CEO reaffirmed this new way of thinking: "This is about fostering new talent and finding filmmakers around the world."
I think it's important to give credit where it's due, and to not make hasty generalizations. Paramount started this effort in 2009 and has since continued to make blockbusters at the same time. To say that major studios won't/haven't focused on making good movies for less money is to ignore the real and ongoing efforts of major studios like Paramount.

Hi AC,
If you have evidence that the article I referenced is "false," I would love to see that evidence and learn more about these issues. In addition, if you have sources which show that studios actually receive the first two months of "profits," I would be very interested in seeing that evidence as well. Even if it were true that studios keep the first two months of "profits," it seems like you concede the point that box office revenues do not reflect the amount of revenues studios actually bring in (instead, it is some percentage of that). That in and of itself seems relevant to a discussion of Hollywood accounting.
One thing that I hope Mike will recognize in these "Hollywood Accounting" stories is that box offices revenues are *not* revenues actually recognized by studios. Generally, 50% or more of those astronomical box office figures go directly to the exhibitors (i.e., the theater owners). Thus, while box office revenues are referenced by studios for purposes of calculating certain percentages owed to participants, it is important to realize that the studio isn't splitting up the box office revenues... it's likely splitting up less than 50% of that amount. I'm not sure that this is distinction is made clear to readers in this article.
Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/the_hollywood_economist/2005/05/gross_misunderstanding.html
An other perspective from the above cited article:
"Consider, for example, Touchstone's Gone in 60 Seconds, which had a $242 million box-office gross. From this impressive haul, the theaters kept $129.8 million and remitted the balance to Disney's distribution arm, Buena Vista. After paying mandatory trade dues to the MPAA, Buena Vista was left with $101.6 million. From this amount, it repaid the marketing expenses that had been advanced—$13 million for prints so the film could open in thousands of theatres; $10.2 million for the insurance, local taxes, custom clearances, and other logistical expenses; and $67.4 million for advertising. What remained of the nearly quarter-billion-dollar "gross" was a paltry $11 million. (And that figure does not account for the $103.3 million that Disney had paid to make the movie in the first place.)"
Bullshit. As noted, tons of us presented alternative solutions, even to the point of offering redlined suggestions and bill recommendations.
You have a very public forum on which to post your own alternatives to SOPA or a redline of the bill that would address your concerns. Why not propose those solutions or alternatives here?
if you look at the same Nielsen reports going all the way back to 2006, they show music sales going up each year
The Nielsen percentages you cite aren't based on track-equivalent albums (TEA), which is what the 2011 1.6% figure is based upon. The 2009 TEA sales percentage was -8.5%, 2008 was -8.5%, 2007 was -9.5%, and 2006 was -4.9%.
In the meantime, we're still curious if this shutdown of Limewire has resulted in any increased sales.
"Bucking a years-long trend of decline, U.S. music sales continued this year's upward swing, rising 1.6% through May 8, according to Billboard analysis of Nielsen SoundScan data."
Source: Billboard
Because of course, you are entitled to these tv shows, and any denial of your entitlement should allow you to break the law (and, incidentally, support sites that are not as discriminate as you are). Got it.
But here's the big question: assuming we accept this massive dropoff in P2P file sharing, was there a corresponding jump in music sales?
"Taylor Swift enjoys 'Speak Now' album sales after Limewire shut down: Swift's triumph in the sales chart is one of the first success stories of music artist after Limewire.com's big shut down last week."
But here's the big question: assuming we accept this massive dropoff in P2P file sharing, was there a corresponding jump in music sales?
"Album sales for the five-week period ending March 21 totaled 31.95 million units, up 4.5 percent from the corresponding period in 2010, and digital downloads were up 12.7 percent to 130.1 million units, marking the first time since 2004 that music sales have experienced a year-over-year gain of this length, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

This post was thought-provoking, respectful, and conveyed an important message. Bravo.
Every single one of the allegedly infringing works listed in the affidavit, were in fact authorized by a representative of the artist. They were protected speech, and the government shut it down ex parte.
You're confusing the issues. If the songs were in fact authorized by the copyright owners (which they weren't), the website owner would argue that there was no copyright violation in the first instance. There is no need to resort to a First Amendment defense unless there is an underlying act of copyright infringement (which you argue there was not).
The affidavit appears to make it clear that it believes that these sites are guilty of direct criminal copyright infringement, rather than any sort of contributory copyright infringement.
A direct quote from the warrant: "a civil seizure warrant is authorized under 18 U.S.C. 2323(a)(1)(A)-(B) and 981(b) because the SUBJECT DOMAIN NAMES are property used and intended to be used to commit and facilitate the commission of criminal infringement of copyrights."
Why is it clear that they believe the sites are guilty only of direct criminal copyright infringement?
And the site appears to be full of embedded videos and links to other sites. Not unlike Techdirt, really.
You do realize that you shifted the conversation to something entirely different, right? You stated earlier that you couldn't find the sites at all, but now you seem to admit that you can find them, and that they contains links. And now you're talking about the liability for the links. I'm not chasing you down that rabbit hole.
If you genuinely believe that then you presumably believe that any website linking to copyrighted content for fair use can have their domain seized. If not, why not?
You're doing it again. You misstated my position, I corrected you, and now you've shifted the conversation again by inventing another argument I never made.
At most they are guilty of contributory infringement, which would be highly contentious in light of the encouragement by the rights holders.
You again erroneously assume that the majority of music, movies, and other files linked to on these sites were licensed by the owners or otherwise legal. They weren't (and still aren't). These sites induced copyright infringement on a large scale (double check the sites if don't believe this). There was more than enough evidence to seize the domain names, and there is nothing preventing the site owners from continuing their activities on another domain. If they want the old domains back, they are free to argue that their content is all fair use, licensed, etc. in court.
Perhaps when you can explain the points above, then add on the issues about the first amendment, then I can agree to disagree. In the mean time I am compelled to keep asking questions. If you really want to placate me then you could admit that whatever you believe the legalities to be, some of those domains should not have been seized.
I'm not here to "placate" every concern, idea, or thought you have with respect to the constitutionality of domain name seizures. I simply set out to correct an incorrect statement of law which is that an email from a record label employee constitutes a digital distribution license on behalf of a record label, magically making any and all distribution of those files legal.
Unfortunately I can't check this, because the domains were seized.
You can find the sites still, because their content still resides on the servers, including all of their forum and blog content. This site has highlighted the fact that many of the sites simply purchased new domain names. And as was discussed above, a simple Google search will take you to these new domains.
Regardless, I don't get how you can claim that what was in the affidavit doesn't matter at all.
I never said it didn't matter at all. I said that it was relevant to the standard of proof necessary for the seizure.
What is the point of the affidavit including any examples if they don't have to be evidence of actual infringement?
Back to my original point, they are infringing. An e-mail from a record label employee does not consitutes a valid content distribution license. Even if you disagree with this point of law, a judge could easily find the standard for the seizure was met given these facts.
Whatever technicalities you care to argue over, as Mike has pointed out, you are defending the indefensible.
Things are rarely so black and white, especially when it comes to issues of constitutional law. We disagree, and that's okay.
If the only content on the site is the stuff their agents sent...
That wasn't the "only" content on the sites... not even close. Torrent-finder.com did not provide links to movies submitted by the studios. The blogs and sites were used overwhelmingly to post unlicensed content. If the site owners go to court to fight the seizure, they will have to show that the content was in fact licensed (or otherwise legal). Even in the remote case where files were sent by label employees, they will not prevail in doing so.
Your understanding is incorrect. I saw the emails in question. Not only that, but they were sent to sites whose widespread known MO was to post links to the downloads themselves. The promoters knew exactly what they were doing, and played up the fact that these songs were available to download in a promotional manner.
I don't know that a label employee sending a file to a blog owner "known" (by whom?) to distribute files is enough to constitute a content distribution license on behalf of the record label. The blogs would have to prove(in court) that they had an implied license with someone who was an authorized agent of the label, and thereby had the power to grant digital distribution licenses on behalf of the organization. Proving as much would be exceedingly difficult.
As has been discussed before, however, the agent used the few examples in order to meet the requisite standard of proof for the seizure only. A reviewing court need not confine itself to the few examples listed in the affidavit.
Have these emails been disclosed to the public online, by the way?
If it is authorized content, it cannot possibly be infringing - and materials that are not infringing are absolutely, positively protected by the First Amendment
Has it been shown that the labels authorized the website owners to distribute the songs on the Internet, as opposed to merely sending a track for a blog owner to review? My understanding was that a copy was sent to certain bloggers so that they might post a positive review of a new album/song, not so they would distribute it online.
I was saying the suggestion via the [citation needed] that music today sucks is elitism
I made no such suggestion. In fact, I don't think music today sucks. I merely asked you to identify the source for your contention that there is more "good" music today "than ever before."
You made a stupid comment, pretending there were no such filters
Again, I did no such thing. I have no doubt that there are other filters. I merely asked you to identify the "good filters" you were speaking of. Why do you misrepresent my positions? Perhaps inventing arguments is your way of justifying childish responses?
I would say the business of owning content has indeed been outdated.
If it is "outdated" it is not because consumers no longer enjoy or desire the content produced by these businesses. While their product is extremely popular in the marketplace, it is only because of widespread, illegal activity that you deem these companies "outdated." The mere fact that piracy exists today does not mean that it will continue unregulated forever, and that those who depend on sales for their livelihood are all a part of an outdated business model.
To put it another way, I would agree with your position if the majority of consumers decided to support artists who create, fund, and distribute their music online for free (and sell ancillary products, tour, etc. to make money). In that circumstance, record labels would be driven out of the market by a legitimate competitor. However, it is more than a little problematic to say that a market participant is "outdated" when their business model produces a wildly popular product in the marketplace. As I've said before, it isn't the business that's broken, it's the locks on their door.
Ah elitism at work.
Ah hypocrisy at work. Moreover, since when is supporting a position with evidence elitism?
I call them "friends." Might help to find some. :)
Do the personal jabs make your think your positions are stronger? You seem to do this a lot on this site. If anything, they make you look like a playground bully and detract from your (often strong) points. Let's debate the merits of the issues, shall we? Of course friends will make recommendations. Does that mean that the traditional filters (labels, studios, publishers) don't do a vastly superior job at identifying, developing, and promoting works that the public at large values?
Um. So then they're not overwhelmed by all the supposed "crap" on the internet, are they?
You're missing the point. The noise increases for consumers if we don't care that the traditional big filters (labels, studios, publishers) are driven out of business by piracy. Those traditional filters also play a crucial role in non-digital contexts, such as markets where computers and/or regular Internet access isn't available. Therefore, if we are considering what is best for "society" and the "public" it is important to consider those markets as well.

PASADENA, Calif. Jenny McCarthy says she's looking to Hugh Hefner's old "Playboy After Dark" as an inspiration for her new talk show.
The actress and former Playboy Playmate will host a late-night talk show Fridays on VH1 starting Feb. 8. After years of being tied up in unproductive development deals, McCarthy said Saturday she came to realize the best character she could play was herself.
She's looking for a party atmosphere. One segment she plans with celebrity guests is the "groundbreaking interview," which is talking to guests while both are lying on the ground.
McCarthy also plans a game, "Drunk, Dumb or Both," asking men outside a bar questions like, "what color is a red boat?"

The TMS320C64x+ DSPs (including the TMS320C6424 device) are the highest-performance fixed-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000 DSP platform. The C6424 device is based on the third-generation high-performance, advanced VelociTI very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture developed by Texas Instruments (TI), making these DSPs an excellent choice for digital signal processor applications. The C64x+ devices are upward code-compatible from previous devices that are part of the C6000 DSP platform. The C64x DSPs support added functionality and have an expanded instruction set from previous devices.
Any reference to the C64x DSP or C64x CPU also applies, unless otherwise noted, to the C64x+ DSP and C64x+ CPU, respectively.
With performance of up to 4800 million instructions per second (MIPS) at a clock rate of 600 MHz, the C64x+ core offers solutions to high-performance DSP programming challenges. The DSP core possesses the operational flexibility of high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array processors. The C64x+ DSP core processor has 64 general-purpose registers of 32-bit word length and eight highly independent functional units-two multipliers for a 32-bit result and six arithmetic logic units (ALUs). The eight functional units include instructions to accelerate the performance in telecom, audio, and industrial applications. The DSP core can produce four 16-bit multiply-accumulates (MACs) per cycle for a total of 2400 million MACs per second (MMACS), or eight 8-bit MACs per cycle for a total of 4800 MMACS. For more details on the C64x+ DSP, see the TMS320C64x/C64x+ DSP CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide (literature number SPRU732).
The C6424 also has application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory, and additional on-chip peripherals similar to the other C6000 DSP platform devices. The C6424 core uses a two-level cache-based architecture. The Level 1 program memory/cache (L1P) consists of a 256K-bit memory space that can be configured as mapped memory or direct mapped cache, and the Level 1 data (L1D) consists of a 640K-bit memory space384K-bit of which is mapped memory and 256K-bit of which can be configured as mapped memory or 2-way set-associative cache. The Level 2 memory/cache (L2) consists of a 1M-bit memory space that is shared between program and data space. L2 memory can be configured as mapped memory, cache, or combinations of the two.
The peripheral set includes: a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet MAC (EMAC) with a management data input/output (MDIO) module; a 4-bit transmit, 4-bit receive VLYNQ interface; an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) Bus interface; two multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSPs); a multichannel audio serial port (McASP0) with 4 serializers; 2 64-bit general-purpose timers each configurable as 2 independent 32-bit timers; 1 64-bit watchdog timer; a user-configurable 16-bit host-port interface (HPI); up to 111-pins of general-purposeinput/output (GPIO) with programmable interrupt/event generation modes, multiplexed with other peripherals; 2 UARTs with hardware handshaking support on 1 UART; 3 pulse width modulator (PWM) peripherals; 1 peripheral component interconnect (PCI) [33 MHz]; and 2 glueless external memory interfaces: an asynchronous external memory interface (EMIFA) for slower memories/peripherals, and a higher speed synchronous memory interface for DDR2.
The Ethernet Media Access Controller (EMAC) provides an efficient interface between the C6424 and the network. The C6424 EMAC supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, or 10 Mbits/second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode, with hardware flow control and quality of service (QOS) support.
The Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) module continuously polls all 32 MDIO addresses in order to enumerate all PHY devices in the system.
The I2C and VLYNQ ports allow C6424 to easily control peripheral devices and/or communicate with host processors.
The rich peripheral set provides the ability to control external peripheral devices and communicate with external processors. For details on each of the peripherals, see the related sections later in this document and the associated peripheral reference guides.
The C6424 has a complete set of development tools. These include C compilers, a DSP assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Windows debugger interface for visibility into source code execution.

Thanksgiving is on the brain the week….who is going where, the assignments for who brings what dish, the grocery list, catching up on housework and keeping in mind those Christmas decorations need to be ready to go up the day after the feast. Then there is the cooking….cooking….cooking.
If you need a break from the preparations or if you merely need a diversion from all the family love during this time of thanksgiving check out the Plimouth Plantation website. One interesting feature of the website is the list of ongoing blogs that you can link to.
You can follow As the Wetu Turns which is a daily chronicle of daily life in the Wampanoag Indigenous program, or follow My So-Called Pilgrim Life….a chronicle of daily life in the 1627 English village at Plimouth Plantation from both a modern and historical perspective.
Even though it's not been updated since June, 2008 Mayflower II-Captain's Blog is still a great read. Captain Peter Arenstam chronicles the events surrounding the Mayflower II 50th anniversary celebrations. You can find out what it takes to keep a 17th-century ship afloat.
Finally, The Embroiderer's Story is detailing the story of the Colonial Wardrobe and Textiles Department in their quest to recreate a 17th-century embroidered jacket.
