Orphan Works -Update
2008-05-03 14:36:00 The Orphan Works Bill is NOT dead for the 2008 committee! Two new versions of the bill was introduced to Congress the week of April 25th.New to both bills is the requirement that the U.S. Copyright Office to create and undertake a certification process for the establishment of searchable electronic databases of visual works, so that the public can view orphaned works.From what I understand the better of the two bill is the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008. Due to the fact that the act would enable users to exhibit orphan works to the public, the sponsors say, if the copyright owners are unable to be located after a "thorough, documented search." The legislation spells out the requirements that would be necessary to meet the standards of a search, and how a court can review the search to decide if it was adequate and done in good faith, If no copyright owner is found and the material is used and then later the copyright owner comes forward, the bill requires that the user must ...
Sweet Calico Goat and Orphan Works Act
2008-04-28 18:48:00 This sweet animal has a beautiful calico coat and an engaging and unwavering gaze. My sense of awe and reverence for animals grows, as their soulfulness and apparent ability to feel and even think, become more evident to me. If you've seen the video that's been going around the Internet, of an elephant painting his self-portrait, no doubt you have felt the same exhilaration that I did, when contemplating how this giant mammal seemed to "think" about the accurate placement of each brush stroke. Even if he was prompted by his trainer, by touch or visual prompts, his behavior is still deliberate in a way we humans have not historically attributed to animals. I posted the video of the elephant painting his self-portrait in my last post so you can watch it, if you haven't already seen it. It stands apart from the other videos we have seen, in which elephants "paint" to music. In the other videos, the elephants seem to be enjoying themselves but the viewer is not sure whether there is ...
The Orphan Works Act of 2008
2008-04-23 07:20:00 A confession: I haven’t been an activist since the movie The China Syndrome came out. But my only real serious thought then while marching around San Onofre was how tan I’d get and would I maybe see some movie stars? This is different. Brad Holland will explain it to you in a webcast interview if you go to the Illustrator’s Partnership website. The bill isn’t meant to take away copyright protection from only illustrators. Lobbyists with big money behind them (Google for example) want the ability to use AND MAKE MONEY FROM any visual image ever produced into infinity. That means photos too! Go listen if you or anyone you care about makes their living creating visual art.

Orphan Works Legislation is back and bad!
2008-04-17 04:05:00 from the SCADATLILLU blogOur beloved representatives in Washington have in front of them a rancid piece of legislation that could shake the Creative world to the core. All us who create images must educate ourselves to the law as it pertains to our business and our livelihood. Brad Holland and the Illustrators Partnership have struggled mightily over the last few years to safeguard our creative work, but Congress is about to yank the rug out from under us all unless we quickly come together and demand our rights as the rightful owners of our own creations.This article sums up what's going on, as well as this radio interview with Brad Holland so please take the time to read it and call or write your congressional representatives and let them know how bad this legislation is.Go here to download sample letters to congress, bullet point letters, and a list of lawmakers to e-mail them to.

Madonna Gives Up on Orphan Adoption
2008-04-05 22:29:00 During the uproar when Madonna adopted David Banda from Malawi, Madge was also planning to adopt a little girl named Mercy from the poverty-stricken country. But now, after finalizing David's adoption two years later, stubborn ol' Madge has decided to give up on bringing Marcy into her home, and to support the child financially from Britain. Madonna blames her surrender of the child to being "exhausted" by all the red tape, according to a family friend. The source also noted, "Everyone was stunned. Normally nothing will stop her," adding, "Instead she will support orphans through her charity." Seems Gucci-gate is now supporting Madonna's children cast-offs, but better it help one orphan than just Kabbalah alone. Photos: PacificCoastNews.com

Angelina Jolie Pregnancy and Adoption Rumors: Twins! Katrina Orphan!
2008-01-25 13:09:00 Normally I ignore the Angelina Jolie pregnancy rumors, since she’s either knocked up or adopting or trying to get pregnant all the time, if you believe the tabloids. However, a couple of weeks ago she was looking very busty compared to her recent thin figure, and now Star magazine says she’s pregnant. With twins no less. The pregnancy rumours have kicked into overdrive (like her pregnancy hormones perhaps?) so here it all is. Earlier this year, Angelina Jolie was seen visiting the office of Dr. Jason Rothbart, who treated her during her first pregnancy and delivered her daughter Shiloh in Namibia. It is believed that she was advised by Rothbart to put on some weight, or he would be unable to help her achieve a second pregnancy. Angelina herself has been open about her desire to be pregnant. And now she has apparently been spotted at the OB GYN office of the doctor who helped Nicole Richie through her recent pregnancy. The Bosh Or, are the Jolie-Pitt’s planning on ...

The Poem of the Orphan Child
2007-11-20 20:47:00 "My feet they are sore, and my limbs they are weary; Long is the way, and the mountains are wild; Soon will the twilight close moonless and dreary Over the path of the poor orphan child. Why did they send me so far and so lonely, Up where the moors spread and grey rocks are piled? Men are hard-hearted, and kind angels only Watch o'er the steps of a poor orphan child. Yet distant and soft the night breeze is blowing, Clouds there are none, and clear stars beam mild, God, in His mercy, protection is showing, Comfort and hope to the poor orphan child. Ev'n should I fall o'er the broken bridge passing, Or stray in the marshes, by false lights beguiled, Still will my Father, with promise and blessing, Take to His bosom the poor orphan child. There is a thought that for strength should avail me, Though both of shelter and kindred despoiled; Heaven is a home, and a rest will not fail me; God is a friend to the poor orphan child."From Jane Eyre, by Charlotte...

The Fantastic Skies of Orphan Stars
2007-10-23 15:32:00 Science @ NASA article link The Fantastic Skies of Orphan StarsOctober 17, 2007: What a view! It's late summer, after dark, and you're flat on your back in a sleeping bag watching the camp fire's last embers drift up to the heavens. Overhead a magnificent band of stars divides the night—it's the Milky Way.Now, imagine that scene doubled in brightness and beauty.No, that's not quite right.Imagine an entire galaxy of stars spinning overhead. The galaxy's blue-white core of young stars is surrounded by yellow octopus-arms of older siblings. Off to one side a faint red column of gas meanders away from the starry whirlpool and turns in mid-sky toward … you.Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory have found a place in the Universe where the view may be like that. "It's near a galaxy named ESO 137-001," says Ming Sun of Michigan State University who led the study.Above: The Milky Way above a country road in Texas.

2007-10-13 01:22:00 1. It was Eid day, the day of celebration and a day of rejoicing. There was an air of festivity in the streets of Madinah. All the people, both young and old were dressed in their best clothes, especially for this special day of Eid.As it was time for early morning Eid prayers everyone made their way to an open piece of land on the outskirts of the city. The Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace, arrived and led the prayers. After they had finished they all greeted each other and everyone was walking back home. The children running and playing in excitement, smiling and laughing, without a care in the world. As the Prophet walked back home, he suddenly became aware of a little boy (Zuhair Bin Saghir) sitting by himself on the side of the path. The little boy was crying and looked very sad.

Simpson, who has visited Mexico's Casa Hogar Elim orphanage since she was 16, asked her father, Joe, if she could keep one of the orphans the first time she went there. The Dukes of Hazzard star told Self magazine, "My father was a minister, so growing up, we'd go on a missionary trip every summer. The first time I went to that orphanage, I was 16. I remember holding this baby who was found in a dumpster. I wanted to adopt him right then and there. I was like, 'Dad, can I have him for my birthday, please'?" The 26-year-old singer-and-actress has also expressed her hopes to adopt abroad like Angelina Jolie. Simpson said, "I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing things. The international adoption rate has skyrocketed. I want to adopt before I actually have my own kids. I want three kids - but I don't know if I can give birth three times.

Victory has a Hundred Fathers, but Defeat is an Orphan
2007-07-31 17:00:00 Yesterday saw the publication of an OpEd in The NY Times regarding the Iraq Theater in the war on terror written by Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack entitled, “A War We Just Might Win.” Say, have you heard about it? Today, possibly as a counterbalance (as opposed to the editorial page’s usual ever so slight, falling over LEFTIST tendency), to yesterday’s opinion is one submitted by Nicholas Thompson, a senior editor at Wired magazine, “A War Best Served Cold.” Thompson is currently authoring a biography about George F. Kennan, a career foreign service officer who is credited with formulating the policy of “containment,” against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. According to Thompson, Kennan “gave American strategy a name, but not much else.” Also the article, “X” published in Foreign Affairs “sixty years ago this month” was basically “grounded in a misunderstanding. Kennan didn’t make clear whether he intended containment to be p...
