Since the entertainment industry's fight against file sharing began around the turn of the century, the line has been that downloading music or movies for free is "stealing," and that file-sharers are "thieves." Trade groups like the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have pushed lawmakers and the public on their side using such a strategy. And the philosophy has become all but common knowledge. But if recent remarks by MPAA chief Chris Dodd indicate a change in approach, that line of reasoning may soon move aside for a softer, less-combative technique.
"We're in a transformative period with an explosion of technology that's going to need content," Dodd, a former U.S. Senator, told Variety at an industry event this weekend. He added: "We're going to have to be more subtle and consumer-oriented. We're on the wrong track if we describe this as thievery."
Subtle. Consumer-oriented. On the wrong track if we describe this as thievery… Those are lines I never thought I'd hear from a top Hollywood lobbyist. (Technically, Dodd is forbid by Senate ethics rules from personally lobbying Members of Congress until January.) Part of me is cautiously optimistic about such a transformation, while a much larger part is terrified about what this change of tune could mean, both for consumers and the Internet as a whole.
1 + 1 ≠ 2
As I have argued in the past, painting file-sharers as thieves is simply the wrong way to convince people not to download music illegally. While some may be deterred by such semantics, many simply do not equate downloading a file with stuffing a DVD down the back of your shorts, and walking out without paying for it. Part of this is surely because illegal file sharing is fundamentally different than physical theft. With illegal downloading, you don't actually deprive an owner of their property — the definition of "stealing" — by making a copy of a digital music or movie file. Or, as Stanford University Law School copyright expert Mark Lemley explained to the Los Angeles Times in 2008: "Copyright infringement is not 'theft' in the same way that taking a CD from a store is theft. If I take your physical property, I have it and you no longer do. If I copy your song, I have it, but so do you."
Of course, one could argue that "stealing" is simply taking that which is not yours to take. Or that uploading a movie to a BitTorrent site is stealing because it deprives the copyright owner of the ability to control how that content is distributed, if not the property itself. It also can deprive the copyright owner of the ability to make money off of their intellectual property — after all, you can't beat free. One could even argue that anybody would steal if they knew they could get away with it, which is obviously impossible to prove one way or another.
Regardless, saying that illegal file sharing is "stealing" and those who partake are "thieves" feels inaccurate, if nothing else. It feels like hyperbole, like a scare tactic crafted by propagandists. And when it comes to laws surrounding something as stupefying as copyright, feelings are really all that matter.
Unfortunately for copyright-reliant industries, a good many people simply don't give a damn. Pew Research found all the way back in 2003 that 67 percent of Americans who download music online "do not care about whether the music they have downloaded is copyrighted." Since that time, the RIAA and MPAA have sued thousands of people for copyright infringement — some for hundreds of thousands of dollars — in an attempt to frighten people into compliance, and yet online piracy continues to thrive.
Why this outright disregard for the woes of copyright holders and the law? I would wager that a large part of the public's ambivalence toward illegal file sharing stems from the glamorous image of celebrity: The most visible people from whom we are "stealing" often appear to have better lives than we do. They have better cars, better houses, better clothes, better sex. They eat better. Their kids attend better schools. And because of the economic and lifestyle disparities (perceived or otherwise) between industry executives and popular artists and fans, those who run file-sharing sites like The Pirate Bay are not seen as horrible thieves, but as Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. That is, if they are seen as "stealing" at all.
Fact is, nearly anything we could wish for is now at our fingertips instantaneously, for free. We expect it. So while we know copyright infringement is clearly and increasingly against the law, few people see the immorality of downloading songs, movies, or TV shows for nothing. Mike Masnick of TechDirt — one of the leading voices in this entire debate — argues precisely this.
"We are collectively living in a state of cognitive dissonance, uncomfortably embracing two conflicting beliefs at the same time," he writes. "Copying is illegal. Copying is not wrong."
The next rabbit hole
Whatever the reasons for our apathy, it's clear now that calling your customers thieves has little benefit to anyone involved — something Dodd has apparently now come to terms with. Given his willingness to admit as much publicly, I assume that others in his industry share the sentiment. The question is, what next?
As Dodd says, the Internet offers "an explosion of technology that's going to need content." Which, of course, is true. Perhaps that means that Hollywood has finally decided to lay down its sword and accept that it cannot change the course of history, and must instead embrace the world as it is and as it will be: one in which everything is available easily, to everyone, instantly. Perhaps Hollywood will decide to divert some of its millions away from the creation of more mind-numbing tripe, and instead invest in the next generation of entertainment distribution. Perhaps it will save itself through ingenuity, technological creativity, and the development of mind-blowing businesses.
Perhaps — but such a refreshing scenario seems to me more a fairy tale than a realistic vision of the future.
On top of their scare tactics — and I call them scare tactics without hyperbole; labeling illegal downloading "theft" is an intentional attempt to frighten people away from the practice — Hollywood has also pushed for greater and greater power to control the means of illegal intellectual property distribution — i.e. the Internet. Hollywood's most recent attempt at this came in the form of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) — and most of you surely know how that went. But this failure only means that they will try the same thing again, with a far more sly design.
In fact, such efforts are already underway. Dodd himself has admitted that SOPA (or something like it) is currently being crafted behind closed doors. And the RIAA and MPAA have managed to strongarm the nation's leading Internet service providers (ISPs) into launching their own anti-piracy plan, which circumvents government involvement altogether.
So when I hear Chris Dodd say that the entertainment industry's new approach will be "more subtle" and "consumer-oriented," my first thought is not that it has finally seen the light; it's that more websites will be shut down; more overreaching laws will be written, proposed, passed; and a new, nefarious PR campaign will slip its way into the public conversation. Those slithery words make me feel as though the hammer of moral and legal condemnation will soon be replaced with roofies-laced lollipops that get us nice and pliable so they can unsheathe their daggers unnoticed.
In the end, the question is not whether or not illegally downloading anything is right or permissible. (Despite what I may have implied, I do not believe it is — as a matter of personal principle, I never download a single file that I do not have the legal right to access.) The question is: Will we let the forces that were become the forces that be.
We are amidst a battle over what the Internet is, and what it can become. Those who have fallen victim to its powers — the MPAA, RIAA, and all those they represent — have been fighting a losing war against this technology since the day it rendered their business models obsolete. And now, we are at a crossroads. Either the entertainment industry will embrace the new era by pushing technology forward, or it will continue to hold us captive in this poisonous atmosphere of loathing between product and consumer, artist and fan, until the valuable creations it claims to protect become ever more worthless.
We have already shown which side we stand on. So, Hollywood, what do you say — are you with us, or against us?

King & Miranda introduce Scenery by Scavolini
"From the outset, we envisioned a kitchen environment for people who are not too keen on formalities, that somehow like to enjoy friendly and pleasure-filled moments while sharing meals together with their guests." h3>
From the start of this project, we identified two main aims: the creation of new forms and layouts which would meet the needs of new kitchen lifestyles, and the creation of new finishes to satisfy the demands of contemporary users. There is no mistaking the statistics: the bathroom and kitchen are the two rooms in the house we are prepared to spend the most on, and where investments in furnishings and concepts are highest. They are two rooms whose nature has been radically transformed. The kitchen has become the centre of social life and the place where families meet and interact. The kitchen is herefore invading the living-room and incorporating many of its functions, while at the same time the person doing the cooking wants to take part in family interactions and a guest does not want to be cut off from the person who is preparing his dinner.
The broad opening-out of our stage-set kitchen aims to respond to these needs for involvement and socialisation, while still solving the problems of the almost inevitable untidiness, excess heat, humidity and smells created by almost all of us, except of course for the elusive "perfect cook", when at work. When it came to finishes, on the other hand, we started from the idea that very probably wooden kitchens owe a great deal of their popularity to the richness and variety of textures and colours this natural material can provide.
We thought it was a pity that this richness of surfaces should automatically be unavailable to those choosing a more high-tech finish such as lacquer or glass. So we worked on finishes which would provide these surfaces with the subtle reflection effects and almost imperceptible changes of texture found in wood. The lacquered or glass finishes in Scenery set out to respond to this demand for warmth and richness, by creating the high-tech boiserie.

Predicting Oscar in an unpredictable year
Forecasting the Oscars is always an iffy business, but few years beat this one for maximum movieland unpredictability.
We should have expected as much last June, when the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced a shake-up - yet another - in the nominating rules. Only two years after doubling the field of best picture nominees, the powers that be decided to allow for any number between five and 10. Could have been six. Might have been eight. Instead, they gave us nine.
To be honest, they were not an obvious nine. Did anyone expect Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close to snag a nomination - especially anyone who's seen it? War Horse was full of gleam and lush Spielbergian touches (ahh, those tributes to Gone With the Wind), but surely the Academy voters noticed it was 20 minutes too long. And surely the little-French-farmgirl sequence should have disqualified it from serious consideration. (Commence. Flaming. Now.)
Hugo was too cute to predict - Scorsese imprimatur notwithstanding - and The Tree of Life was too divisive. The remaining five were easy calls. Moneyball, The Artist, Midnight in Paris, The Descendants, The Help: a brainy critical darling, three widely lauded art-house hits and a mainstream favorite with a saucy social conscience (plus pie). Those I saw coming. Those made sense.
Now, as for who'll take home prizes this year - that's a whole other universe of fickleness and inscrutability. No one outside Hollywood can possibly fathom the complex neural processes that result in naked gold castrati being passed around the Kodak Theatre like totems at a drum circle. Jonah Hill's statistics whiz in Moneyball would have a better shot at foretelling Sunday night's events than I would. But strangely, he's not here, and I am. So here I go.
Best Picture
The Nominees: Moneyball, The Artist, The Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, The Descendants, Hugo, War Horse, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help
The Likely Winner: The Artist
The Long Shot: The Descendants
The Logic: Discounting the occasional (and inexplicable!) voice of dissent, acclaim has been universal for The Artist. Which, for the record, isn't a black-and-white silent movie; it's a masterwork of nimble cinematic storytelling that just happens to be black-and-white and silent, or near to it.
Best Director
The Nominees: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist; Alexander Payne, The Descendants; Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life; Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris; Martin Scorsese, Hugo.
The Likely Winner: Hazanavicius, who displayed a shimmering directorial sleight-of-hand - and made everything old new again.
More Information
The 84th Academy Awards
When: 7:30 p.m. Sunday, ABC
The Long Shot: Payne. How a film so prickly made us (read: me) expel so much saline is one of the year's abiding mysteries.
The Logic: Malick is Malick (i.e., dividing the sea of viewers with Mosaic force). Allen in comic mode is Allen in comic mode (i.e., witty and familiar). And, yes, Scorsese is Scorsese (i.e., the consummate technician and film buff), but since when do kid-friendly flicks score in the major categories?
Best Actress
The Nominees: Viola Davis, The Help; Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs; Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady; Michelle Williams, My Week With Marilyn.
The Likely Winner: Davis, who conveys unshakeable moral rectitude - and a simmering, beautifully gauged righteous anger - as the maid who speaks truth to power in a segregated South.
The Long Shot: Williams, a fine actress who brings out the vulnerability (and, OK, the hotness) in her tribute to blond bombshell Monroe.
The Logic: Streep is brilliant in a meh movie. Close is brilliant in a meh movie. Williams is brilliant in a meh movie ... As for Mara, she's still young. Give her time.
Best Actor
The Nominees: Demián Bichir, A Better Life; George Clooney, The Descendants; Jean Dujardin, The Artist; Gary Oldman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; Brad Pitt, Moneyball.
The Likely Winner: Dujardin. Unless it's Clooney.
The Long Shot: Clooney. Unless it's Dujardin.
The Logic: All five actors are brilliant, and not one of the movies is meh. The fact that Oldman has never even been nominated strikes many observers as a crime against filmmaking. But it's not his year. This year, the race boils down to just two performances: Clooney's exquisitely judged turn as a rumpled and grieving Hawaiian dad; and Dujardin's silent, stirring triumph as a down-and-out film star at the dawn of talkies.
Best Supporting Actress
The Nominees: Bérénice Bejo, The Artist; Jessica Chastain, The Help; Octavia Spencer, The Help; Janet McTeer, Albert Nobbs; Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids.
The Likely Winner: Bejo.
The Long Shot: McCarthy, who stole scenes (and puppies) as a tough-talking eccentric with a sizzling undercarriage.
The Logic: The Artist, if it sweeps, should have coattails long enough to yank her along. Plus: she's adorable. And in this category, the Academy loooooves adorable.
Best Supporting Actor
The Nominees: Kenneth Branagh, My Week With Marilyn; Jonah Hill, Moneyball; Nick Nolte, Warrior; Christopher Plummer, Beginners; Max von Sydow, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
The Likely Winner: Plummer.
The Long Shot: There isn't one. Unless you believe it's von Sydow's night, in which case you also believe Academy members have it in them to recognize two mute performances in the same year.
The Logic: Plummer deserves it. His gentle-mannered turn as a dying gay dad blows away the rest of the field for elegance, emotional impact - and twinkle.
Best Adapted Screenplay
The Nominees: The Descendants (Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, from the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings); Hugo (John Logan, from the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick); The Ides of March (George Clooney, Grant Heslov and Beau Willimon, from the play Farragut North by Beau Willimon); Moneyball (Steven Zaillian, Aaron Sorkin and Stan Chervin, from the book by Michael Lewis); Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan, from the novel by John le Carré).
The Likely Winner: The Descendants, for its balance of heart and wit.
The Long Shot: Moneyball, for its snappy Sorkinian banter.
The Logic: The Artist is competing in a different category entirely, so The Descendants will take it home - as either a consolation prize (assuming best pic and director wins for The Artist) or one in a sweep of the major categories (assuming best pic and director wins for The Descendants).
Best Original Screnplay
The Nominees: The Artist, Michel Hazanavicius; Bridesmaids, Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig; Margin Call, J.C. Chandor; Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen; A Separation, Asghar Farhadi
The Likely Winner: The Artist.
The Long Shot: Bridesmaids.
The Logic: Can a movie without spoken dialogue win the screenplay award? Seems counter-intuitive, but Hazanavicius' script is a miracle of narrative economy. A split vote among the other nominees - two comedies, one debut and a stunning Iranian drama - should seal the deal for The Artist.

An IPO is a special kind of divestiture that involves floating the new business on the stock market, much as the founders of a start-up do. What are investors looking for in an IPO? And what makes the difference between success and failure?
When it comes to IPOs, investors are looking for clear strategies based on competitive advantage in the market, along with growing profitability that can be achieved through quantifiable targets for sales growth and efficiency improvements. Investors value a transparent organizational structure that has clear accountability and comprehensive reporting metrics. And they want consistency—sudden changes in the story arouse suspicion.
It takes time to build a compelling strategy and prepare the organization to exist independently. The process should begin well before the IPO announcement. The right conversations must happen among management, the board, and other relevant parties.
Some IPOs are wildly successful, and some fail spectacularly. What makes the difference between winning and losing on the market? A study of European IPOs over the course of a decade revealed several strategies that lead to success.
Unlike trade sales and IPOs, spin-offs distribute shares in the new entity directly to a company's existing shareholders.
A company's existing investors often find spin-offs highly attractive. In some jurisdictions, spin-offs have attractive tax advantages because they don't generate any cash. Investors also benefit from the value created by the spin-off entity, and from the value the parent company creates by streamlining its business. But like any divestiture, it can be difficult to get a spin-off right. They are complex transactions that require seamless work involving dozens of senior executives.
How can a company ensure that its proposed spin-off will end up a success? There are four key steps:

The site of a thriving boomtown during the California Gold Rush, historic Old Town Sacramento now serves as a reminder of a bygone era, but is also a unique location for engagement photography in the Northern California. Start off your engagement photo shoot at the old town's famous Big Four House. Built in 1852, this structure was once a valuable business establishment that provided supplies for eager miners dreaming of striking it rich. You and your fianc'e can strike poses right in front of the entrance doors or seated on one of the old barrels on the wooden porch. Have your engagement photographer create a portrait of you and your loved one beside one of the lamp post playing in the sand outside the Big Four House, with the entire building serving as a backdrop. Once you've finished at the Big Four House, move on to Sacramento's historic Old Schoolhouse Museum. The schoolhouse building stands as a stoic reminder of the Gold Rush era and will add to the rugged ambience of your engagement photo album. Take a seat on the wooden front steps or step behind the white picket fence in the side yard for some great old-fashioned photos. You can also pose beneath the large shade tree in the side yard. Finally, take a short walk over to the California State Railroad Museum, where you and your fianc'e can amble along the railroad tracks as your engagement photographer takes some candid photos. Old Town Sacramento is one-of-a-kind photography location that you're not likely to find in your friends' engagement albums!
The one-time home of a former California governor, U.S. Senator, and railroad magnate, the magnificent Leland Stanford Mansion is an exemplary display of the Renaissance Revival architectural style and a perfect location for your engagement photo shoot. As you arrive at the estate, have your engagement photographer arrange a portrait of you and your fianc'e strolling around the front courtyard. You can also pose on the ornately designed front steps, as well as beneath the elegant arched front entrance. On either side of the mansion you'll find a finely landscaped, miniature yard that will provide shade trees, flower beds, and patches of lush green grass. Feel free, also, to explore the gardens behind the estate, which have towering palm trees and cozy benches scattered throughout. Only a few blocks away from the Leland Stanford Mansion you'll find Crocker Park, one of the capital's many recreational parks. Your engagement photographer will snap some informal photos as you wander the park grounds, using the surrounding greenery as a vibrant backdrop. Crocker Park contains a plethora of massive oaks sprinkled around the perimeter, as well as an expansive verdant lawn. You'll also find numerous wooden picnic benches that will work great as simple props. Finally, the glimpses of downtown Sacramento that are visible from within the park will combine with its scenery to create a rare mixed background, filled with natural and urban space.
For a truly unique engagement photography location, visit Fairytale Land in Sacramento's William Land Park. Revisit your favorite childhood stories while your engagement photographer creates some fun-filled snapshots of you and your fianc'e! Pose for a portrait with your Prince Charming at King Arthur's Castle or take a ride down the Old Woman's Red Shoe Slide. Next, take a leisurely stroll through the park's Crooked Mile as your engagement photographer takes some candid photos of you and your loved one. After your walk, head over to Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach, where you can take a 'ride' on a team of carousel horses or take a seated photo inside the coach, itself. Other fun spots for photos at Fairytale Land include Captain Hook's Pirate Ship, aboard The Little Engine That Could, and on the miniature red bridge overlooking the park's tranquil Japanese Garden. With so many fun places to explore, you'll never want to leave! Note that Fairytale Town has an admission cost of $4.00 on weekdays and $4.50 weekends ' just purchase your tickets at the park box office on the day of your visit! Park hours are 10 am ' 4 pm during the Fall and Winter seasons and 9 am ' 4 pm during the Spring and Summer (make sure to check the website for special extended hours, including information on holiday hours).

Angry Jedi wrote:This thread would be a fine place to share your thoughts!
EDIT: Having read that post, yes, definitely share that here, please!
(Will do! The formatting's unfortunately a bit of a hatchet job.)
FFXIV has been eating up an inordinate share of my gaming time lately. Having reached an early milestone in unlocking the White Mage job, I figured now would be a good time to chime in with my thoughts on the game thus far.
Aegis Heaslip, my Hyuran Midlander. (The lack of short female hairstyles in FFXIV was an early disappointment.)
I am not an MMO veteran. I flirted with playing World of Warcraft on a couple of occasions and spent a good amount of time with the original Guild Wars, but I think I'm already playing FFXIV at a higher level than I did either of those games. That said, my experience with those games helped dull the impact of FFXIV's myriad gameplay systems. Each individual system is fairly intuitive – and the game does a commendable job of slowly doling out new concepts as you level – but compared to your average console RPG, FFXIV is cognitively and dexterously demanding. To name just one example, there's at least seven types of quests ("duties"): regular one-off duties, Levequests (repeatable fighting and gathering quests limited by a renewable resource), FATEs (ad-hoc, randomly-spawning zone quests), Guildhests (short group instances), Trials (short group boss battles), Dungeons (long group instances), and Raids (which I haven't reached yet). There's a main storyline, as well as storylines based on each character class and job (which you can change at any time by swapping weapons). You can earn EXP bonuses for "hunting" certain monsters and completing certain achievement-style objectives. You eventually gain the ability to level up your Chocobo, which has its own rudimentary skill tree. I could go on, but suffice it to say that the number of options FFXIV gives you is somewhat overwhelming, at least in its early stages.
FFXIV has some striking landmarks.
I knew from the get-go that I wanted to play a healer. I'm not someone naturally drawn to co-operative multiplayer gaming, but something about healing in an MMO has always appealed to me. Even in the early dungeons, I've had a really tangible, satisfying, and anxiety-inducing sense that the group's success is riding on my heals. The tank (heavily-armoured party member whose job it is to keep the attention of enemies) is often taking damage at such a rate that they would go down if I ignored them for even five seconds. Healing is a careful balancing act: if I heal too much – or at the wrong times – I risk generating too much enmity (aggro) and drawing attacks my lightly-armoured character can't handle. It's been far too easy to develop a top-left-corner tunnel vision – darting my eyes back and forth between the party list and enemy list (which has convenient enmity indicators) while missing the lay of the battlefield. I should mention here that FFXIV's gamepad controls are great for healing – up and down on the d-pad cycle through the party list, and targeting reverts to my "main" target after each cast. In this way, I can address a one-off heal to an ancillary party member and immediately return to healing the tank without having to manually re-target them. If I feel comfortable enough to put in some damage, I can similarly cycle through the enemy list by holding L1 while remaining a button press away from healing the tank.
The ever-present Chocobo theme makes a strong appearance.
Speaking of controls, Square Enix did a surprisingly great job of cramming the complex controls of a PC MMO onto the DualShock 3. This is in part because of the generally-smart decision to limit the number of skills, but also a result of some really smart interface design. FFXIV gives you near-instant access to 24 skills, triggered by holding down L2, R2, or L2+R2 while pressing face buttons or d-pad directions. You need to remain cognizant of the physical limitations of your hands – you're not going to be pressing d-pad directions and moving the left stick simultaneously – but with some savvy hotbar usage, I've managed to get by surprisingly well without needing a keyboard or mouse in battle. The console versions support USB keyboards and mice – and indeed, you pretty much need a keyboard to communicate – but at least in the case of the PS3 version, the mouse cursor is choppy and slow to the point of near-uselessness in-battle. I do make pretty frequent use of my ThinkPad USB keyboard's TrackPoint to control the mouse cursor in menus.
It's not hard to poke holes in aspects of FFXIV's presentation, but it's an impressive achievement all things considered.
The PS3 version of FFXIV is an odd beast: a cross-platform MMO with a non-PSN patching mechanism and keyboard/mouse support on the PS3. While FFXIV no longer runs on Square Enix's Crystal Tools engine (it was replaced with a custom engine for A Realm Reborn), the game in many ways reminds me of Lightning Returns in its technical strengths and weaknesses. The game is a looker on the now-ancient PS3 – the real-time lighting, complex character models, and vast environments are quite impressive. As in Lightning Returns, the real-time sun casts constantly-shifting (albeit noticeably choppy) shadows on everything in a manner I wouldn't necessarily expect from circa-2005 technology. However, as with Lighting Returns, the framerate can be quite rough. In certain situations – particularly player-heavy plazas, foliage-heavy forests, and particle-heavy battle scenarios – the framerate can be downright lousy. I sometimes find myself wishing the game included an option to turn off certain superfluous details and effects in favour of better performance. The loading times aren't as bad as I was led to believe, but the online nature of the game means that seconds spent looking at a loading screen can sometimes be seconds spent falling behind PC and PS4-owning party members in a dungeon. I do look forward to taking advantage of the free PS4 upgrade in the hopefully-near future, but in the meantime the PS3 version is exceeding my admittedly-tempered expectations.
Look at this adorable little pup!
Lastly – and as I am wont to do – I want to call attention to FFXIV's fantastic soundtrack. Despite its breadth – 119 tracks, as of several major patches ago – and consistently high quality, it was almost entirely (and almost inconceivably) composed by a single relative unknown: Masayoshi Soken. It's unfortunately not comprehensively available in legally-questionable form on YouTube, but here's some favourites I manged to track down:

Crosby, Malkin lead Pens past Sens in SO
OTTAWA (AP) The Penguins didn't look like great - until Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin did their thing in the shootout.
Crosby and Malkin made pretty moves to beat Craig Anderson in the shootout and give Pittsburgh a 2-1 victory against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
James Neal scored in regulation and had the first goal in the shootout to help the Penguins snap a two-game skid.
``We obviously didn't want to keep sliding,'' Crosby. ``Every game is so important. It wasn't a pretty one but it was good we were able to find a way.''
Colin Greening scored a second-period goal for the Senators, and Jason Spezza and Kyle Turris beat Marc-Andre Fleury in the shootout. But Milan Michalek was stopped with Ottawa's first attempt.
``Fleury was big for us tonight,'' said Neal.
Anderson made 33 saves for the Senators, while Fleury stopped 31 shots.
``It was a little sloppy at times, but you've got to win them like that,'' said Neal. ``It's going to be like that at times this year.''
The Senators had an opportunity to win in regulation when Erik Karlsson's slap shot from the slot sailed just wide of Fleury with less than 40 seconds to play.
``The puck was bouncing a bit and I couldn't really settle it,'' Karlsson said. ``I just tried to whack it and it didn't work out.''
Jakob Silfverberg had a chance in overtime for the Senators, but after stealing the puck at his own blue-line from Chris Kunitz, he was tracked down on a breakaway by Ben Lovejoy before he was able to get a shot off.
Greening's first goal of the season for the Senators at 13:44 of the second came after miscues from both teams. Spezza had the puck in the Penguins' end and although his shot was stopped by Fleury, Greening was there for the rebound and he tucked it in from along the goal line.
``I really enjoyed the game and I feel everyone played well,'' Senators coach Paul MacLean said. ``We got a point out of the game which is real important and we played well enough that we deserved a point and we were pleased with how we were able to be consistent throughout the game.
``I thought the game was very well played by both teams, we traded some opportunities here and there and I thought both goalies played well.''
Neal's one-timer at 13:31 came after a cross-ice pass from Malkin, who has five assists this season.
Notes: Anderson has played 298 career games in the NHL and should play No. 300 at home against the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday. ... Malkin's first-period assist tied him with Rick Kehoe for seventh place on the franchise's all-time assist list with 324.

Twenty-nine years ago, on September 1, 1983, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (KAL 007) was shot down by the Soviet Union carrying 269 innocent passengers. Among them were 61 Americans including a sitting U.S. Congressman, Democrat Rep. Larry McDonald of Georgia. It was widely reported, and much of the world believes, that everyone on board was killed. But family members of the victims, activists, and experts who spent years researching the matter are convinced that many survived and are still alive somewhere in Russia. Now, they want a new official investigation.
Retired firefighter Jim Morse, a citizen activist in his sixties who lives in Massachusetts, recently started a petition asking President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner to launch a new inquiry into the matter. Like many of the victims' families and researchers who have studied the evidence, Morse thinks there is a very real possibility that at least some of the passengers — if not most — survived the attack. Many may still be alive.
"I believe the plane made a water landing and there were survivors based on the evidence, some of which was held by the former Soviet Union for up to nine years such as, the jet made a 12 minute spiral descent, no bodies were ever found and no luggage was ever recovered," he told The New American. "I would like to ask anyone reading this story to take a minute and sign my petition and spread the word to all your friends and family."
Because only Congress or the president can initiate a proper investigation and the fact that it is a federal election year, Morse said he would be "surprised and delighted" if any official action were to be taken in the near term. He has already been busy sending the petition and his concerns to Obama and other elected officials.
Somebody at Sen. Scott Brown's office told Morse that the senator would bring it to Congress, but his staff did not respond to repeated requests for comment by The New American. However, even if there is no immediate response, Morse does not plan to give up, saying he will continue his efforts to find the truth after the election.
"The same day I heard about KAL 007 and Congressman Larry McDonald, I also heard a speech by the 'Patriot Pastor' Garrett Lear about how important it is for one person to take action even he is the only who believes in what he is doing," Morse continued. "I do believe in 'The Power of One.' "
But he is hardly alone in his quest for answers. Bert Schlossberg, the director of the International Committee for the Rescue of KAL 007 Survivors, had a father-in-law on the flight. He has dedicated more than two decades of his life to researching the issue and even wrote a book about it entitled Rescue 007: The Untold Story of KAL 007 and Its Survivors. Schlossberg's research is part of what inspired Morse to start his petition.
Based on vast amounts of publicly available evidence including government documents, past investigations, debriefings of ex-Soviet personnel, and information that is not yet public, Schlossberg determined that flight KAL 007 actually made a water landing. Despite the widely accepted narrative that the plane was blown up in mid-air by a Soviet fighter jet, Schlossberg is absolutely convinced the crippled plane actually landed in the water almost intact. More importantly, he says, most of the passengers survived.
"Almost no work has been done with respect to the possibility of survivors using the material that Russian Federation supplied Soviet real time military transcripts chronicling the shoot down and the secret missions to Moneron [a small Russian island in the sea of Japan]," Schlossberg told The New American. "These transcripts show that KAL 007 did not crash after the missile attack and descended slowly being tracked until curvature of the earth made further tracking impossible, but that the Soviets expected there to be survivors and indeed the mission orders for the rescue are included in the military transcripts."
According to Schlossberg, the new information makes subsequent reports of survivors, as well as stories of the Soviet divers who found no bodies or luggage, even more credible. It also adds weight to stories of the plane being emptied of passengers and crew before being sunk and blown up to simulate a high-altitude, high-speed crash, Schlossberg explained. Another researcher, the late Robert W. Lee, believed the flight made an emergency landing on land in Soviet territory.
"All this is grounds for a new investigation," Schlossberg continued, adding that he has new information on Rep. McDonald that is not yet public but has been shared with lawmakers on the Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees. "There is no reason, in the light of the above, why a reopening of the issue would not result in the coming home of any of our loved ones who are still alive, after the long years of detention on Soviet and post-Soviet lands and conditions. There is no reason not to pursue the credible reports of survivors including Democratic Congressman from Georgia Larry McDonald."
In addition to Rep. McDonald, a very conservative Democrat who was also the head of the liberty-minded John Birch Society, hundreds of innocent people went down on that flight. Many of their family members and friends have never given up hope that their loved ones are alive and might return home someday either. More than a few have already signed the petition seeking a new investigation, too.
"There is a lot that can be pieced together from the different sources we have available to us — notably the transcripts of the Soviet ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications from the time of the shoot down, the audio from the Cockpit Voice Recorder recording, and the data from the Digital Flight Data Recorder," said Charisma LaFleur, who had two family members aboard including her grandfather Alfredo Cruz. "By putting it all together we can paint a pretty good picture of what happened, and that picture is very different from the popular view of what happened."
LaFleur told The New American that the U.S. government absolutely must launch a new investigation into the facts surrounding the KAL 007 shoot down. "Not just as an academic exercise to know the truth. Not so that damages can be paid to the victims and their families. Not so that those responsible can be held accountable. Washington, D.C., should launch the investigation to uncover actionable intelligence about the fate of the passengers and crew, and to use whatever means they can to bring them home," she said.
According to LaFleur, one of many who believe survivors may still be living somewhere in Russia, there is plenty of evidence to warrant a new investigation. Some of that evidence, she added, only came to light more recently and so, would not have been available when earlier investigations were conducted. There is also new and better technology today that might be able to help investigators in analyzing existing evidence. Finally, there is testimony from people who have come forward since 1983, and each story represents a piece of the puzzle that must be put together.
"I hope that the petition will set a chain of events in motion that will ultimately result in the rescue and safe return home of the surviving passengers and crew of KAL 007. My desire for anything else — even for the truth about what happened and why — pales in comparison to that," she explained to TNA. "Please take action, and do it quickly. It has already been 29 years since the incident, and with each year that passes, people grow older and pass away, memories get foggier, and our chance of finding survivors grows slimmer."
But LaFleur is convinced that it is not too late. "Whenever I start to despair and give up hope, my mind goes back to Rita Denise Metcalf, a 7-year old girl who was on that fateful flight. I was also 7 years old at the time. We were the same age. She'd only be 36 this year," she concluded. "There were 21 other children with her on the flight that were under the age of 12. For their sakes, and the sakes of the rest of the passengers and crew, and their families, let us not sit back and turn this into an academic exercise, or worse, do nothing. With urgency and purpose, please, let us bring them home!"

BGS: General Assembly prayer opportunities
There are numerous opportunities for prayer during the 29th General Assembly and Conventions as thousands of Nazarenes gather in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, for times of fellowship, training, worship, and business.
The Board of General Superintendents emphasized the importance of prayer for this event by asking Nazarenes around the world to set aside every Friday afternoon — from 24 March through 23 June — as a time of fasting and prayer for General Assembly 2017 and to pray daily during the assembly, Sunday, 25 June through Thursday, 29 June.
The words of Phineas F. Bresee, the denomination's first general superintendent, remain true today: "These are days that call for Spirit-filled men and women who pray in the Holy Ghost and expect and receive great things from God."
Before each service, visitors and delegates are encouraged to gather for the Pre-Service Concerts of Prayer. These times of guided intercession will begin precisely 30 minutes prior to each service and last 15 minutes.
The Concerts of Prayer will be held in the same location as the services — Halls HIJK — on the left-hand side of the auditorium near the stage.
Times are as follows:
- Thursday 22 June, 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.
- Friday 23 June, 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.
- Saturday 24 June, 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.
- Sunday 25 June, 9:30 to 9:45 a.m. | 3:30 to 3:45 p.m.
The final Concert of Prayer will be held prior to the opening General Assembly business session in Halls ABC from 8:00 to 8:15 a.m. Monday 26 June.
Two other locations have been set aside for prayer. The 24/7 Prayer Room, located in the Westin Hotel Senate I, II, III, will be available 21-28 June for private prayer. Each evening, from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m., there will be a time of corporate prayer. From 21-26 June, Hal Perkins will lead a morning devotional from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. in the Westin.
In the Indiana Convention Center, Show Office 1 on the second floor will be open 21-26 June from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The room will include Bibles in multiple languages, a basket to leave prayer requests, specific prayer topics from the Board of General Superintendents, and a historic altar used by Phineas Bresee at camp meetings in 1904 and 1905.

Two Morenci Board of Education terms expire in June and candidates have until Feb. 10 to file a nominating petition.
Jim Place was appointed to the board in June 2008 to fill a vacancy created when Merton Easler moved out of the school district. Place was appointed to serve on the board through the end of Easler's term that expires June 30 of this year.
Scott Merillat was first appointed to replace Katie Townsend who resigned in October 2006. He was later elected to fill the remainder of her term that also expires June 30.
Candidates must file a nominating petition at Morenci city hall by 4 p.m. Feb. 10. State law now allows candidates to bypass the need for a petition by paying a nonrefundable filing fee of $100.
Petitions are available at city hall on Orchard Street and at the board of education office on Page Street.
Two candidates will be elected to serve four-year terms on the board. The board generally meets on the first Monday of the month.

Miss. Governor Hits Perfect Intersection of Racism, Homoeroticism
Uh oh. Haley Barbour is writing slash fic again! The ex-Mississippi governor, who is totally not racist, recently expressed his wish for New Jersey governor Chris Christie to poke the president of the United States, in the butt area:
Barbour offered a brief assessment of the Republican National Convention. "While I would love for [Chris] Christie to put a hot poker to Obama's butt," said Barbour of the RNC keynote speaker, "I thought he did what he was supposed to do."
Obviously, we don't think Haley Barbour is suggesting that a white guy brand the black president in a racist way. He's just saying, he wishes that he could watch Chris Christie take his long, steaming hot poker and place it firmly against Obama's ass.

How to overcome resistance to one group of breast cancer drugs
A team of researchers, led by Carlos Arteaga, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, has identified a mechanism by which human breast cancer cells can develop resistance to one group of drugs used to treat breast cancer, suggesting new approaches to treating the disease.
A large proportion of breast cancers express the molecule to which the sex hormone estrogen binds and show a degree of dependence on the hormone for growth. Patients with such tumors are usually treated with drugs known as endocrine therapies that interfere with estrogen signaling to the tumor cell. However, some cancers develop resistance to endocrine therapies after initially responding.
To define mechanisms underlying the development of resistance to endocrine therapies, Arteaga and colleagues analyzed molecular changes in human breast cancer cell lines subject to long-term estrogen deprivation (a condition that mimics an endocrine therapy regimen). They found evidence of PI3K signaling pathway activation, and cells treated with a PI3K inhibitor died.
As a breast tumor protein signature of PI3K pathway activation was found to predict poor outcome after endocrine therapy in patients, the authors suggest that combining an endocrine therapy with a PI3K pathway inhibitor might help prevent the development of resistance to endocrine therapies in patients with breast cancer.

Dental pelican for tooth pulling, Europe, 1701-1800
Dental pelicans are so-called because they supposedly resemble the shape of a pelican's beak. They are believed to date back to the 1300s and are among the very earliest instruments designed to remove teeth. There are many variations in the design of these simple instruments and this is an example of a double-ended pelican. The tooth was removed sideways after the claw was placed over the top of the tooth and the fulcrum, the semi-circular piece of metal at the end, was placed against the gum. The pressure from the lever was intended to remove the tooth. The process was undoubtedly painful for the patient and possibly caused damage to the gums and surrounding teeth. Tooth pulling was the only cure for diseased teeth or toothache and was carried out by barber-surgeons and travelling practitioners.

Sure, lots of important people weren't too impressed with the Storm. But this slippy, Freudian Google News headline sums up the unbridled hate towards the handset much better than it does the article. Much.
Issues to consider:
1) AT&T users experienced widespread outages in the upper Midwest a few days ago
2) AT&T does not offer the BlackBerry Storm
3) The article itself clearly blames an actual storm—you know, weather—for the service interruption.
4) The rest of the article is about iPhones
A conspiracy against BlackBerrys? No. A silly mistake by either the Google News aggregator or Information Week? Probably. A dramatic infiltration of either by David Pogue or Stephen Fry? Hopefully. [Thanks, Enzo]
