Google's Notable Investment Risks
Ishfaque is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The mighty Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has long been the most dominant Internet firm for a while now. And over time, its footprint has expanded into numerous other areas as well. With Google's stock trading near all-time highs, the stock still has a decent amount of upside.
Before buying into the Google story, the material investment risks should be evaluated carefully. Investors should be well aware of the dark sides of an investment in spite of the low probabilities attached to each of the seven risks listed below.
1. The Secular Shift to Mobile from Desktop
Consumers are increasingly adopting smartphones and tablets to access the internet. As a result, more and more ads are being portrayed on mobile based devices. Google earns a lot less revenue per ad on mobile devices, primarily due to the smaller screen sizes. The company's aggregate paid clicks i.e the number of ads portrayed which was up 24% on year-over-year basis in Q4 2012. However, the price paid per ad or the cost-per-click was down 6%.
This secular consumer trend towards mobile devices will continue to result in lower prices per ad in the near-to-medium term. However, Google is still in a pretty solid position overall in the mobile arena, as it boasted of a mobile run rate in excess of $8 billion at the end of Q3 2012. And almost certainly at the end of 2012, this run rate has trended higher.
2. Lower Prices and Increased Competition in Emerging Markets
For most global companies, growth is increasingly coming from overseas markets. As a result, the numbers of search queries on Google are on the rise. However, the price paid per ad in developing and emerging countries across the world is much lower relative to the U.S. and other developed nations.
In addition, the incremental competition coming from major regional competitors like Baidu, Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU) and Yandex, etc., can hurt Google's position. The loss in market share in many of these rapidly growing countries like China and Russia can hurt Google's top line materially.
To keep up with increased competition stemming from Baidu, Google got into a partnership deal with Qihoo 360 to keep up in China. The Google-Qihoo partnership allows marketers to buy ads using Google's AdWords technology on Qihoo's rapidly growing search engine. However, Google will end up paying the lion's share of revenue generated to Qihoo, which is not a rosy outcome either.
3. Regulatory Hurdles
Google is a clear-cut monopoly from almost all angles. As a result, it is a prime target for substantial regulatory investigations, lawsuits and other sovereign scrutiny's in multiple countries. Just recently, a number of Google competitors including Microsoft, Expedia and Yelp (NYSE: YELP) got the FTC involved accusing the company of tilting the search results by favoring the various Google services.
Luckily, Google got off the hook without paying hefty fines, as it complied with the agency's requests. Worth noting, in early 2011, Google paid a $500 million fine for the portrayal of Canadian pharmaceutical ads to Americans, which resulted in medicine sales without prescriptions. In addition, any acquisitions by Google will always be subject to in-depth inquiries by anti-trust agencies as well.
4. Risks arising from Vertical Search Players
In addition, to direct search competitors like Microsoft and Yahoo. A number of vertical search competitors like Monster, WebMD (NASDAQ: WBMD) and Yelp are increasingly being accessed directly. Many users access these websites directly and not via Google search. In particular, WebMD and Yelp are increasingly becoming popular amongst consumers for health queries and consumer review queries respectively.
The increased traction in other consumer focused internet companies that provide vertical services like healthcare or job portals can take away many users from Google. Also, the rise of mobile-based devices is leading many users to connect directly via mobile apps instead of using Google search. All these competing offerings can eat away at Google's search revenue pie over time.
5. Microsoft and the Search Partnerships
Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Bing is a material threat for Google. In addition to running its own search engine, Microsoft's Bing powers Yahoo's search engine under a search alliance agreement. Also, Microsoft runs the external search capabilities of Facebook's newly launched Graph Search tool.
As a result, Microsoft's Bing powers three powerful platforms and will be a force to reckon with in the future. In particular, Microsoft's partnership with Facebook has a promising future as the social media company has more than a billion users in place.
6. Motorola Division
The motivation behind the $12.5 billion Motorola acquisition was the intellectual property and the build-out of a better mobile computing platform on Android. However, the division continues to operate at a loss as it is still in a restructuring phase, and is eating away at the profits being generated from Google's core business segments.
In Q4 2012, Motorola mobility had losses of $353 million, and losses will likely continue for the next few quarters. Google's ambitions of an enhanced mobile computing platform using Motorola might not come to fruition in the near term.
7. Downward Pressure on Operating Margin
As Google's size grows over time, the company's operating margin will be spiraling downwards, in part due to the acquisition of Motorola and the continued growth from Google Network Members' websites. Google's operating margin from partner sites and the Motorola business is much lower compared to Google's core business segments.
In addition, the increased growth in emerging markets and mobile will further put downward pressure on Google's operating margins.
The Takeaway
Going forward many of Google's competitors will gain market share, and secular trends will impact the company's operating margins. However, these represent small hurdles for the highly innovative company. The company is in pole position to extend its dominance in search, video, and on its Android operating system, and should perform well over time.

Niagara, where have you been all my life?
October 31, 2011 by Crystal Lorenzo
I can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that about eight weeks ago I was sitting at home dreading coming to college, crying and trying to do anything to make the time go by slower. I wouldn't pack, wouldn't even think about packing or the fact that I was about to enter a brand new chapter in my life. I wasn't excited, wasn't looking forward to it and didn't quite feel as ready as I thought everyone else felt, but after being here for half a semester already, it's hard to get me to actually go home to visit. I feel so much at home, and I can honestly say without trying to sound cheesy that I honestly love my life here and am so happy that I chose Niagara.
First of all, let's start with the fact that I'm in five clubs...FIVE. In high school, I wasn't the super-involved type. I actually didn't do any clubs involved with school; all I did was all-star cheerleading and basketball cheerleading, which took up 95 percent of my time. The other 5 percent was spent working at the wonderful Timmy Ho's, doing homework (which was a lot since I was an exchange student to The Netherlands during my junior year of high school, and thus had to do my junior year and senior year in one when I got back), not to mention trying to have a social life between cheerleading practices, games and competitions.
So, needless to say, I wasn't quite in the loop with the whole club thing. Once I got to Niagara, I knew I wanted to get involved in some, seeing as I'm not allowed to do athletics anymore because of a combination of about 100 different back issues. I went to the activities fair and signed up for pretty much every club there. I decided to at least get a taste of everything that was offered, and then I could decide what to stick with.
I opted for:
- Campus Planning Board - I'm on the Late Nite Niagara committee, which plans and runs all the events that are held every Friday night from 10 p.m. - 2 a.m. These events consist of things like indoor paintball, late night movies, a black light dance party, bingo, comedians, open skate, open gym, "Minute to Win It," and basically just awesome things to do.
- NU Alliance is a group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students and their allies. It's an awesome group of people and probably what I look forward to most during the week.
- N-Zone is a student cheering section at all hockey and basketball games that is crazy. People in N-Zone are the loudest at the games and they have a whole bunch of cheers to do, including one where they act like they're riding a roller coaster and the person in front directs which way the roller coaster is going and you have to follow him by leaning your whole body in whichever direction he directs. Fun stuff! Let me tell you, that's what I'm looking forward to most about the games.
- EAGLE, which stands for Experience and Growth in Leadership Education. Its purpose is to help develop you as a better and more effective leader. Each year, you earn a different "certificate" and focus on some other aspect of leadership. The first year focuses on self development and finding, understanding and developing one's self as a leader. The people in the group are some of the most genuine and sweetest people I've met here and it's so much fun being around people who actually care. It's such a warm atmosphere and definitely something I'm really glad I got involved in.
- BOLD is a business club. We're working on a project that takes the sandals from Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls, cleans them and sends them to third-world countries. To be a part of the project, I had to go through an interview and also score in the top half of my class on the Intro to Business midterm!
I've already done so much here that it's hard to believe it's only been about two months. When we started at Niagara, we went on the Whirlpool Jet Boat, which takes you through Level 5 rapids in the gorge; we went through a corn maze; saw Lion King the musical; went to NU soccer and hockey games; saw a psychic, a ghost hunter and a mind reader; painted pumpkins; saw the most HILARIOUS hypnotist show where freshmen were being hypnotized, basically the most hilarious thing of my life; enjoyed team trivia; and played bingo, where I won a trash can full of school supplies and many other things that have kept me so busy that I never have a chance to be bored.
On top of all of the activities, I still have all of my school work, which is a lot to keep up with but definitely manageable. I also work here, in the Office of Academic Affairs, which is an awesome place to work. I love the people I work with. They're so sweet and make work enjoyable.
My roommate is wonderful. I've known her since fourth grade but we weren't exactly friends throughout school (except for in fourth grade) until senior year when we decided to room together. She also has been dating my step-brother for about two years (no big deal). It has definitely been nice to have someone who I know that I can just be myself around during an already-stressful first semester. It's lovely being able to go back to the room and just be my normal, quirky self and not have to worry about my roommate judging me or thinking I'm weird, because she's pretty much just as quirky as I am.
I could probably go on forever about all the friends I've made here but instead I'll just post a picture. If you haven't lost interest already because of the length of this, I'm sure you're headed in that direction! If you have made it this far, thanks, and keep reading because they will only get better from here...PROMISE!

Japanese right-handed reliever Ryota Igarashi may be close to a deal with the New York Mets, depending on when you last checked your Twitter timeline. Even if he decides to sign with the Red Sox instead, I'd have to classify the team's pursuit of Igarashi as a success. It's a indicative of a shift in philosophy the Mets have made toward building a bullpen.
Last year, Omar Minaya, haunted by an inflammable bullpen, placed a premium on relief pitching. He signed Francisco Rodriguez to a three-year, $37.5 million dollar contract and traded a haul of useful players for the right to pay J.J. Putz five million dollars. Neither deal really worked out, despite what the team would have you believe about K-Rod's 2009 season. This year, instead of targeting other team's closers or high priced middle relief flotsam, the Mets appear to be pursuing other alternatives to improve the 'pen.
Minor League Free Agency: Last week, the team signed 25-year old Clint Everts, former 2002 first round draft pick of Omar Minaya in Montreal. He pitched to a 2.97 FIP in just less than 60 A+/AA/AAA innings for the Nationals organization. He's shown the ability to induce ground balls and generate strikeouts against both left and right handed hitters. He has a bit of a control problem, especially against left handed hitters, but his strengths would suit him well in a bullpen role. Of course, this is all contingent on his ability to handle major league hitters, but you have to like this signing.
Japan: Ted Berg wrote a little bit about Ryota Igarashi here. He throws hard, strikes people out, has an assortment of pitches and is pretty wild. Again, strikeouts are the key here and paramount to successful relief pitching. Taking a flier on the Japanese Fernando Rodney for $2M-$3M is much more palatable than signing the real one to a market rate contract.
Reclamation Project: An ace in his own right behind John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar was a lynchpin of the Angels pitching staff from 2004-2007. Sidelined for virtually two seasons due to shoulder surgery, Escobar wants to return in a relief role and that shouldn't be a problem. Escobar closed for the Blue Jays as 21-year old rookie in 1997 and later in 2002. While it's doubtful that he'll strike out a batter an inning again, a return to his pre-injury level of 7.00 K/9 complimented by respectable walk and ground ball rates and no significant platoon split, Kelvim would make a fine high-leverage bullpen option.
While none of these players are any guarantee to contribute positively to the Mets in 2010 (and at this time, only one is even signed), I come away impressed with the team's willingness to target relatively cheap bullpen options with legitimate upside. Pitchers like Brandon Lyon and Latroy Hawkins have signed multi-year, multi-million dollar deals because they have the "experience" and they've "pitched in big spots" despite mediocre results. Their output can be matched or bested easily and inexpensively using the tact the Mets appear to be employing. I'm not sure if this is a case of budgetary restriction or the team finally learning their lesson, but I'm at least encouraged by this development.

Figure 3: Figure 3 is an analytic framework that depicts the events that individuals experience while undergoing treatment with negative pressure wound therapy. The framework includes 5 headers: Patient Population of Interest, Treatment, Intermediate Outcome Measures, Patient-oriented Outcomes and Adverse Effects of Treatment. The headers are connected by arrows going from left to right which follow an individual as they go through the course of negative pressure wound therapy.In the first frame, we have our patient population of interest, "patients with acute or chronic wounds". An arrow leads the patient to the treatment, a NPWT system.The path then leads to a third and fourth frame, the outcomes of interest. First we list the intermediate outcome measures that will be evaluated to see if the treatment is effective. These Intermediate Outcome Measures are listed as "percent change in wound volume," "improved wound condition," and "time to 50% reduction of wound initial volume."Next,we list Patient-Oriented Outcomes which include "time to complete wound closure," "percent of wounds completely healed," "rate of healing infected wounds," and "reduction in sepsis, edema, or amputation." Continuing down the list we include other outcomes important to patients such as "duration of treatment," "quality of life/satisfaction with treatment," and "survival." We also identify "facilitation of surgical closure" for those individuals who may only be receiving treatment to reduce the wound for later closure by skin graft or flap.The path then leads to a list of adverse events that may occur due to the treatment procedure. Adverse events of interest include pain, bleeding, infection or bacterial load, mortality, and other complications which may be as minor as discomfort or as major as amputation.Return to Document Current as of November 2009 Internet Citation: Figure 3: Analytic Framework (Text description).

The Truth About False Confessions

Contact Professor Alan Hirsch
Thursday, June 29, 2006
In the recent Supreme Court decision upholding Kansas death penalty law, Justice Scalia opined that
the risk of executing an innocent person has been reduced to an insignificant minimum. Given
the number of people convicted of serious crimes (including more than a few who were on death row) who have turned out to
be innocent, his confidence is more than misplaced -- it's chilling.

Another visitor shares a personal story in response to my recent LA
Times op-ed on prosecutorial misconduct: My fiance is accused of raping his daughter. The prosecutor is gung ho in prosecuting
the case even though he knows [the girl's] testimony at the preliminary hearing was perjured. The statement she
gave to the examining nurse conflicts with the evidence. To top it all off, the [medical] report revealed she was still
a virgin. Please tell me how you can rape a virgin? Laws need to be changed or
somebody needs to start prosecuting the prosecutors who destroy lives simply for a checkmark in the win column.
I must reiterate that most prosecutors are honest, devoted public servants. Moreover, virtually all prosecutorial misconduct (like police misconduct) occurs in cases where the prosecutor
is convinced that the defendant is guilty. But that does not excuse breaking
rules or cutting corners, and the visitor is right that prosecutors who do so need to be disciplined -- which rarely happens.

Earlier this month, James Cameron, founder of the Black Holocaust Museum, passed away at the age of 92. His
amazing life included a false confession to manslaughter that resulted in four
years in prison back in the 1930s. The confession was beaten out of Cameron. These days the coercive interrogation tactics that produce false confessions arent
so blatant, but the resulting injustice is the same.

In response to my recent op-ed in
the LA Times about prosecutorial misconduct, a visitor vents about her daughters
experience: The use
of DNA in discovering innocent people is wonderful, but what about the accused who do not have DNA involved? . . .
My daughter not only did not do what she is accused of, the prosecutor did not prove she did. [The case was based on]
the accusation of a legally blind drug addict. Seven witness said my daughter was innocent. The prosecutor privately
threatened one of the witnesses to keep his mouth shut. The prosecutor knew about the accuser's eyesight and drugs but
did not tell our lawyer. . . . Most prosecutors lie for a living. Guilt and innocence do not figure in at
all. The only thing that matters to them is Conviction.
I cant comment about the particular case, and its unfair to say that most prosecutors are dishonest,
but certainly the visitor describes phenomena that happen all too often. Prosecutors
are required to turn over to the defense evidence that tends to support innocence, but they sometimes suppress such information. So too, some prosecutors threaten witnesses and many prosecutors are overly concerned
with victory. Finally, the visitor is absolutely right that DNA evidence is often
not available to prevent wrongful convictions which we now know occur more than most of us ever imagined.

Thanks to this op-ed of mine in yesterdays Los Angeles Times, Ive received a number of kind
communications from folks in California. One was a note from the Death Penalty Policy Director of the ACLU of Northern
California, reminding me that just yesterday the California Commission on
the Fair Administration of Justice met to discuss false confessions, and pending in the state legislature is a bill to require
electronic recording of interrogations. While recording is no panacea (something
Ill be posting about in the near future), it would certainly be an important step.

Bill OReilly, of The OReilly Factor fame, was recently in Guantanamo
where, he assured his enormous television audience, interrogations are humane. OReilly insisted that prisoners are treated
just fine as long as they cooperate, and face harsh conditions only if they fail to do so.
But has OReilly or, more importantly, those who run our detention centers, considered the implications of rewarding
cooperation and punishing non-cooperation? Has it occurred to them that some
prisoners are so eager to reap the reward and avoid the punishment that they might confess falsely?

The trial in New York
of a homeless man who claims to have falsely confessed to murder is getting a lot of attention. The defense attorneys opening statement made claims that should grab the jurys
attention: the defendants DNA was not found on the murder weapon and during the confession he boasted of several other crimes
that investigators have determined never happened. The prosecution is emphasizing that the defendant claimed to have committed
the murder as part of a one-man war against whites, but to me that suggests the possibility that he is pathological and took
credit for the brutal act because he enjoyed the notoriety it brought. Supposing thats the case, is it so terrible if such
a sick puppy is wrongly convicted? Yes, even apart from the inherent injustice: If he is put away, the case will be closed
and the real killer will get a free pass. Lets hope the jury takes seriously the possibility of a false confession and carefully
evaluates the other evidence (if any).

My old law school classmate, David Dow, recently wrote this fascinating piece in the New York Times. Im not sure I agree with him that opponents of the
death penalty focus too much on the risk of convicting the innocent to my mind, that remains by far the biggest problem
with capital punishment, particularly the more we learn about the unreliability of the criminal justice system. But agree or not, he makes a provocative case.

Thursday, June 15, 2006
A visitor recently sent me an article favoring
jury nullification (where jurors decide a case based on their consciences or feelings about a law rather than solely on the
facts) and opined that it makes me wonder if people are just starting to question the whole system as they become more aware
of problems.
Im a big believer in the jury
system, and I favor various measures empowering juries more (including measures promoting nullification in certain circumstances),
but the truth is that jurors dont distinguish themselves in false confession cases. Like everyone else, they tend to assume
that confessions are true. Courts need to allow the testimony of expert witnesses who can educate juries about false confessions.
(Some courts do so, but others do not, and some severely limit the scope of such testimony.)
Wednesday, June 14, 2006
A public defender e-mails me: What
is hard to convey to anyone who has not been in police custody is the inherently coercive aspect of any interrogation.
This came up at a friend's dinner. When a large, politically sophisticated man said he would never confess to something
he didn't do, I turned to face him and vehemently snapped, Yes you would! This guy is a good three inches and fifty
pounds bigger than I am, but he immediately leaned back in his chair and stammered that he didn't mean anything by what he
said. What was clear is that I now had the upper hand, so I went on with a bit of edge, then let up and said, in a conversational
voice, See how easy it is? I explained a bit more about how the door sounds in the typical interrogation room, how
the cops have their badges displayed, that there are always two of them and one of you. . . .
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
A visitor writes: We need to advocate Forensic Animation because not all cases have DNA
evidence. Defense attorneys should indeed be aware of this resource. If you have any ideas for preventing injustice, please share them
and I will likely post them.
Sunday, June 11, 2006
Reid Associates, whose manuals on interrogation are responsible for numerous false confessions, is frighteningly disingenuous
on the subject. I could work full-time just correcting falsehoods and distortions
on their website. Consider this very brief excerpt:
False Confessions are rare phenomena. In one study the authors identified what they believed to be 49 false confessions from the 20th century.
First, the study in question concerned capital cases only. Second,
it was published in 1987, before DNA testing resulted in many exonerations of wrongfully acquitted people who had confessed.
North Carolina Law Review recently published an article documenting 125 proven false confessions and, as Ive explained
in previous posts, theres every reason to believe this represents the tip of the iceberg.
Anyone who thinks you have to be crazy to confess to a crime you didnt commit should consider the case of James Calvin Tillman,
just released after 18 years in prison. DNA tests proved Tillman did not commit the kidnap and rape for which he was convicted. Tillman had rejected a plea bargain that would have given him an 8 year sentence, and
would have served 45 but for the DNA exoneration. Under the circumstances, one
could make the case that he was crazy not to confess falsely.
As this suggests, false confessions
cannot be viewed in isolation. They are part of a much larger problem cases
being brought against innocent people and, all too often, resulting in convictions. The problem needs addressing at every
level. We need better police work, better prosecutorial judgment, more discerning
judges and juries. But lest it seem utopian to expect all of the above, we should consider
that a big part of the problem, pervading the system, is the presumption of guilt. The moment the police prematurely assume a suspect guilty, they set in motion a process
that can be hard to stop and that too often leads to the conviction of the innocent (sometimes through a confession).

Yesterday I posted about a judge who deemed a trial error harmless because the defendant had confessed. It is often the case that courts find harmless error in confession cases, even if the error was an
improper admission of the confession itself (when, for example, the confession was blatantly coerced or the defendants Miranda rights were ignored). The confession
is often the main evidence, and always important. How can its improper admission
be deemed harmless? I suspect courts of appeals find harmless error where they
shouldnt because they are influenced by knowing that the defendant confessed. They,
like most people, wrongly assume that anyone who confessed must be guilty. Its
time for the Supreme Court to restore the old rule (which it undid in 1991), whereby wrongful admission of a confession automatically
results in reversal of a conviction. The harmless error doctrine does great harm.

Last month a court of appeals in Texas
reversed a murder conviction because the trial judge improperly allowed hearsay evidence against the defendant. The case is most remarkable for the dissenting opinion, which argued that the hearsay didnt matter because
the defendant had confessed to the crime. According to the dissenting judge,
the confession clinches the defendants guilt and therefore any mistaken rulings were harmless error. The dissent dismissed
the possibility that the confession was false, because there was no motive for the defendant to admit to guilt unless he was
in fact guilty. The judge is probably unaware of the many motives for false confessions
-- click here. Then this most disturbing sentence from the opinion: Although the officers
often expressed their disbelief regarding [defendants] initially exculpatory answers and they misled [him] by overstating
the evidence against him . . . these were not the kind of tactics that would inspire an innocent person to confess falsely.
As a matter of fact, such tactics,
termed maximization by social scientists, are definitely instrumental in producing false confessions. Judges desperately need to be educated about false confessions.
Id like to extend a thank you to http://nylawblog.typepad.com/suigeneris/, a fine blog devoted to New York law, for giving our site a generous mention earlier
Much truth in that, though even elite defense attorneys have trouble winning
a case with a client who confessed. Juries have trouble accepting that an innocent person would confess, especially
if (as is often the case) judges dont permit expert testimony on the matter. Send a comment.

Last month the Missouri Supreme Court
freed Sandra Kemper, charged with burning down her house and killing her son. Kemper
confessed after police falsely told her that she had flunked a polygraph. Not
only had the she passed the polygraph, but her confession was contradicted by physical evidence. Kemper was lucky. Her trial resulted in a mis-trial because
of confused rulings by the trial judge. But this tactic lying to suspects about the evidence against them is widely used
by police and condoned by the courts.
From AP last week: The Iraqi government, meanwhile, said its security forces had arrested a key terror suspect, Ahmed
Hussein Dabash Samer al-Battawi, who it said had confessed to beheading hundreds of people.
Needless to say, I rejoice when a leading terrorist is nabbed. But in
the fight against terrorism, no less than in domestic crime-fighting, we must recognize that a confession does not automatically
equate with guilt. Im not up on interrogative protocol in Iraq,
but somehow I doubt that security forces are required to issue Miranda warnings and the like God only knows what they do
to induce confessions when they think theyve got a bad guy.

Two passionate e-mails from visitors touch
on the theme of plea-bargaining:
1) Confessional jurisprudence has
been a took in the bag-of-tricks of despots from time immemorial, through the Inquisition, down to the Soviet political-security
police. A variant thereof has made its way here in the form of pressure to enter
a plea-bargain.
2) I think my stepson may have accepted a California 3-strikes 16 year plea deal on a
false confession. . . . . His confession was videotaped. In the video, the detective seems to acknowledge that my stepson didn't commit a
crime, and then he suggests that probably the best way to get this behind him would be to just write
up a little apology and then this will be resolved, and we can all get on with our lives.

Ive explained why the Supreme Courts
celebrated Miranda decision fails to do much to prevent false confessions. A visitor alerts me to this excellent article which goes further, explaining how Miranda
actually helps cause false confessions.

This article tells about police in Los Angeles allegedly thwarting a potential attack with
eerie overtones of Columbine, arresting two high school students who stockpiled ammunition and bomb-making supplies in their
homes in planning a massacre at their high school. The circumstantial evidence
seems impressive, and the boys confessed. Once upon a time, Id have assumed
they were guilty. But when the lawyer for one of the boys claims that authorities
wrung a false confession out of the boys with a good cop, bad cop routine, we ought to pay careful attention. Young people are particularly prone to false confessions, as are people of low intelligence (which seems
to fit these defendants). One can only imagine the lengths police would go to
extract a confession when they sensed a Columbine repeat on their hands. Lets
hope the jury demands real evidence to corroborate the confessions, rather than assuming them to be true.
Friday, June 2, 2006
Forgive the Latin the phrase refers to a rule of law prohibiting conviction of a crime based solely on a confession. There must be at least some corroborating
evidence. The rule used to be nearly universal, but many jurisdictions have abandoned
it in part or in whole. Kudos to a court of appeals in Wisconsin
for last week invoking this rule to reverse a drug conviction. In this day and
age, with what were learning about false confessions, the rule should be unnecessary juries and judges should realize that
an uncorroborated confession cannot establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

A visitor alerts me to a recent case
involving the marriage of two tragic phenomena: a false accusation and false confession.
Under intense interrogation, a man confessed to raping a five-year old fourteen years earlier. Theres a happy ending: the jury in Virginia rejected this paper-thin case against a mild-mannered, slightly
retarded man with no criminal record. As weak as the case was, the jury and defense
attorney (Harry Bosen) deserve kudos few cases involving confessions result in acquittals.

Recent obituaries of Richard McIlkenny remind us that false confessions are not just an American phenomenon. McIlkenny was one of Englands famous Birmingham Six wrongly convicted in 1975
of 21 murders caused by the explosion of bombs in two pubs. Four of the Birmingham
Six confessed, following extremely coercive interrogations. They were eventually
exonerated by new evidence and released in 1991. McIlkenny died of cancer on May 21 at the age of 72, having enjoyed
15 years of freedom following 16 years of incarceration for crimes he did not commit.

Facing a state requirement to pay back grants due on the closure of the municipal airport, the city of Blaine is facing the quandary of how to repay nearly $400,000 to the Washington State Department of Transportation's aviation division (DOT).
John Sibold, director of aviation with the aviation division said in a letter dated July 31, 2008, that the city of Blaine will be required to repay six grants totaling $388,349 which were used between 1991 and 2003 to purchase new equipment, runway improvements, tree removal and property acquisition.
Sibold said because the city opted to close the airport before the 20-year life cycle of the grants, it will be required to repay that amount to the DOT's aviation division.
"There are certain assurances we have if you accept money from the state, in that you have to repay the money if you close the airport or you have to keep the airport open for the life of the project, which we say is 20 years," he said.
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic said the city had originally intended to repay the grants from a $5.4 million pending sale between two local developers and the city for 34 acres of prime industrial land in east Blaine. But as the nation's economy tumbles and the credit market tightens, some worry the likelihood of a sale is increasingly uncertain.
"I think the way the economy is right now it's really difficult because credit markets are tight and people aren't looking to invest," Tomsic said. "We couldn't have done this at a worse time."
The airport's potential buyers – Gateway LLC, a joint venture between TC Trading owner Tom Hayes and Blaine dentist Patrick Rooney – have already asked the city for an extension on the deadline for their sale agreement in December last year.
At that time Gateway representative Blaine Hardy said they needed more time to secure funding for the project although he said he had a few investors at the table and remained "optimistic" about the year ahead.
The deal cost Gateway an additional $25,000 non-refundable deposit on top of the $100,000 in earnest money they had already given to the city.
Gateway LLC originally made an offer of $5,976,500 in March, 2008 but that amount was later amended to $5.4 million after the city excluded a small parcel of land currently leased by Yorky's gas station owner Barney Yorkston.
As of Tuesday, however, Hardy declined to answer questions and neither Rooney nor Hayes could be reached for comment. Tomsic said Gateway is expected to make a decision by March 31, the deadline given by city council.
In the meantime, Tomsic said the city is continuing discussions with Gateway and will look at different options for repaying DOT improvement grants if the sale falls through.
"We have already identified a number of different non-earmarked funds that could be used that are non-general fund revenues, meaning if they are used there won't be something else that won't be funded," he said. "In the meantime, we're still continuing discussions with Gateway. We're not dealing with anyone else but them at this point."
Additional expenses
to the projected 2009 city budget, closing the Blaine airport could
cost as much as $3 million in lease termination settlements, state
grant repayments and reimbursements to the city's general fund.
If the pending sale between the city and two Blaine developers goes through, the money will be used to pay approximately $390,000 in state grant repayments, approximately $1.2 million in lease terminations and settlements, $750,000 in loans paid through the city's general fund, and nearly $500,000 to the city's street improvement fund.
The remaining would be transferred to the city's general fund reserve account, which was established to serve as a rainy-day fund in tough economic times.

Shall we mourn here deedless for ever, a shadow-folk, mist-haunting, dropping vain tears in the thankless sea? Or shall we return to our home? In Cuiviénen sweet ran the waters under unclouded stars, and wide lands lay about, where a free people might walk. There they lie still and await us who in our folly forsook them. Come away! Let the cowards keep this city!" His Silmarils stolen and his father, the king, slain by Morgoth, Fëanor gives his firey speech to the Noldor. Behind him his brother, Fingolfin, prepares to speak against him, in vain. Galadriel, though no friend of Fëanor, is touched by his words and envisions kingdoms of her own in the East. Her brother, Finrod, simply weeps for the looming fate of his people. For better or worse, Middle-Earth is about to meet the Noldor. (More art and information on the Noldor here and here) - Teleri Sailors - Some examples of the Teleri, the more numerous but less imposing ethnic group of the High Elves. Sleight and androgynous, especially compared to the more muscular Noldor, the Teleri are crafters of the only ships in Aman, a quality that seals their terrible fate at the hands of Fëanor and his followers. (More Teleri examples here). - Gothmog - Captain of the Balrogs and second-mightiest of Morgoth's servants. While Sauron ruled in Morgoth's absence, it's Gothmog who is generally in charge of leading his armies. (More Balrog examples here). The Sons of Fëanor are infamous in the history of the Elves. Swearing a dreadful oath to recover the Silmarils at any cost, they're second only to Morgoth in causing grief and death during the First Age. - Maedhros the Tall - Eldest and generally the most diplomatic. - Maglor the Mighty Singer - Makes it out of this story alive, but arguably the most depressing. - Celegorm the Fair - Sexist creep and all-around jerkass. - Caranthir the Dark - Dwarf-hater, rarely worked well with others. - Curufin the Crafty - Most like Fëanor, and father of Celebrimbor, the Elf who would make the Rings of Power. - Amrod and Amras the Hunters - They don't do much, but I still don't trust them. I mean look at them.

Wrigley Field renovation would aid Cubs players
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com January 19, 2013 11:32PM
Executive Vice President & General Manager Jed Hoyer speaks during a panel discussion on "Restoring Wrigley Field" in front of the Cubs faithful at the Sheraton Hotel on Saturday, January 19, 2013. | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times
Updated: February 21, 2013 6:58AM
During their first tour of the Cubs' clubhouse, general manager Jed Hoyer and team president Theo Epstein stopped at one end of the cramped confines to ask about the heavy black net that hung across the ceiling.
It's where players take swings before at-bats, business operations president Crane Kenney told them. A hitter releases the net so it hangs from the ceiling, grabs a tee and hits balls into the net.
''We thought it was a joke,'' Hoyer said.
As the Cubs unveiled details Saturday of their $300 million ''restoration'' plan — pending the easing of city zoning restrictions — they made it clear that the laughable player facilities will be part of the first wave of improvements.
The five-year project, which the Cubs hope to begin this fall, will start with the clubhouse and players' workout and practice areas, Kenney said Saturday.
''When we decided to come to Chicago, when we talked through it, the promise of this project was a huge plus for us,'' said Hoyer, who compared the project to what he saw in Boston nearly a decade ago. ''We both started with the Red Sox before any kind of renovation to Fenway Park. I can assure you that the facilities were every bit as subpar for the players.
''There was one batting cage out in center field, a tiny clubhouse that was infested with a lot of rats. It was certainly not good enough for a big-market team. Theo and I both saw how it changed an organization.''
Some of the highlights of the Wrigley Field renovation project:
◆ The Cubs say no home games will be lost to other sites, with all the work being done during offseasons — though the baseball people are bracing for the possibility of an 11-game road trip to open next season to help accommodate the work, a source said.
◆ The players would get an underground batting tunnel, expanded weight room and swanky new clubhouse.
◆ Fans would get a 42 percent increase in restroom capacity, more concession outlets and variety and bigger, better suites.
◆ Early seating models project 70 fewer seats, but the team is trying to recoup those.
◆ The LED display board under the center-field scoreboard will be removed, but larger video displays are likely to be added.
◆ A ''fan deck'' will be added to the seating area in the left-field corner.
◆ Six elevators will be installed throughout the ballpark.
◆ Some of the exterior and interior features will have their original characteristics replicated. ''We will essentially be rebuilding Wrigley as it was in the '30s, with modern amenities,'' Kenney said.

This is a perfect companion piece to yesterday's entry about the wonderful Ring Theory. Surely this describes a woman who was unfamiliar with those suggestions! From Joyce Wadler in the New York Times comes this essay about responses to others' problems--as in, my suffering/accident/loss/illness was worse than yours. I often hear this concern described as an issue in some support groups--that is, it can seem as though there is a hierarchy of breast cancer misery, and a woman who needs less treatment than others may be made to feel that she shouldn't complain. I truly hope that no one ever feels that way in one of my groups; I am on alert for such a sequence of feelings, and I think I manage it satisfactorily. Of course some of us need more treatment than others or longer treatment or have even scarier diagnoses, but we are all in this together.
Here is the beginning of Ms Wadler's piece and then a link to read more:
I was in that prison of enforced intimacy, the elevator, when I ran into a neighbor, her face streaked with tears, who was taking her sick cat to the vet to be put to sleep. I did what New Yorkers do in such situations: avoid eye contact and make believe I was living on Krypton, as the woman stated the obvious to another neighbor: Fluffy was indeed walking, actually being carted, the last mile.
That's when I heard the voice of a woman, who, for the sake of discretion I shall refer to as Mom, speak up:
"You know, in a way you're lucky," she said. "What happened to me was worse." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/10/booming/who-suffered-most-a-contest-for-the-tact-free.html

Depression is an Illness!
Depression may need a new same because I am one of the happiest DEPRESSED people I know!
Closing Statement from Leslie Pieters
Sharing my idea on Depression confirmed the need for more conversations on the topic. I appreicated the inquest that prompted me to complete my statement sooner than later which helped my idea take form.
It takes a lot to "come out" about a sensitive topic and those who did offered comfort along with their insight on Depression. This conversation enabled me to be objective about Depression while understanding it from a subjective frame of reference.
Stong statements were made by those observing the illness which proved valuable for continued directions in research. Depression referred to, "Our own slow train to our own Auschwitz", was extremely impactful comparison. I wholeheartedly advocated for a new name for Depression the illness, not depression the emotion!

Apr 22 2013: That's just it, David.
It is not simply the grinding down of happiness. It literally attacks the body/brain and heightens sensitivity to tragic occurances or brings them about.
These occurances can include the distructive as well as the fatal. It is not the opposite of sadness. Depression is not the same as being depressed that's why I'm advocating for another name for this mental illness!

Defect: Over time, migration of the moisture into the circuit board and/or into the connector cavity, may result in a short circuit of the puddle light system. This may generate heat which may melt the plastic resulting in smoke or fire.
Corrective Action: Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional fused-harness, free of charge. The recall began February 19, 2013. Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783 for more information.

Three men and one woman were arrested Friday for reportedly stealing a grocery cart full of alcohol they planned to re-sell.
Deputies say 27-year-old Mathew Edward Mullin, 29-year-old Christopher Michael Comiskey, 38-year-old James Gregory Yohe and 35-year-old Tamra May Fought went into a Safeway grocery store in the 4700 block of East Sunrise.
The four people allegedly filled a grocery cart with various alcoholic beverages and left the store without paying for them.
Security officers identified the suspects as the people involved in a separate incident at a Safeway location in Tucson a few days before. One of the suspects allegedly showed a weapon during the robbery.
Deputies saw the suspect's vehicle about two blocks away and conducted a high risk stop. The stolen items were found in the vehicle they were driving in.
During the investigation, detectives say they found out the suspects planned to re-sell the items.
The four people were arrested and booked in a detention center. They face charges of trafficking in stolen property, organized retail theft, shoplifting, and outstanding warrants.
Mullin was identified as the suspect who showed a weapon in the earlier incident and was also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Truthful is impossible because we do know enough about own self?
August 31 2011 at 11:59 PM
God first
Truthful is impossible because we do know enough about own self?
I always try to tell the truth but sometimes I do not know enough things about my own natural or body of sin. We have a sin nature we have nurture this natural all our own lives it has become a part of us. So to sat it aside is not easy thing to do the things I know as truth must be set aside if I going to know Gods truths.
Like is the world round or does its mass constrain by more than what I see has the earth gravity I see does it also contain things I cannot see. What is the true me what I see or what I cannot see or both the two together? Questions that we do not know enough to even try to tell the truth about what was truthful about.
Even biography of something does tell every thing a thing they just tell the basic of the person, thing, place or what ever they do give every detail line by line. Biology of a human person does not telling us why the person was and how dust formed into us in first place? By not given us enough we can tell a lie about it without knowing it because we just understand enough to get us in trouble.
If I say my name is Jack am I lying because I am not different than I am a man of sin like Jack similar to Jack the person. Jack and me are humans alive on this earth there are different in our personalities Jack is a religion fruitcake but I am what I is. Jack Howard has made himself my enemy but I have made him mine I have enemy but myself.
I was a copy of Jack Howard in the pasted I was a religion fruitcake I believe the words of Gods bible were the only truth I could see then. But now I see past my sins and the blamed goes on no one other than my weak flesh it is on my shoes and our own shoes the blamed must be set. Now that I see clearly I can put the blamed on my personal self as the Jacks of this place can bowel our heads together in that all of us are in sin.
Maybe people call me Roy William Perry III known as year2027 but I am one of the Jacks of this world. We are the ones in the sin doomed until we evolve out of this fleshly dust that lives as me. How can I evolve out of this world Christ is the only part I know because I am not wise enough to understand yet.
Jack and me Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Jack and me are accepted in Christ whether I believe or not and Jack believes I am.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Whether we understood what the redemption is or the forgiveness of sins that we live in and this mystery of Gods will towards us.
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
In Christ we have obtain the dispensation of Gods truth about our selfs.
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
We have now earnest of our inheritance without blamed for our weak flesh has we look forward to our spiritual bodies that not decay and die. This is the new concision that planted in us the spark of new life that no man can kill only God can destroy it. Thank you with love and a holy kiss from Roy known as year2027
