NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Consumer Attitudes and Online Retail Dynamics in Japan
Product Synopsis
Provides in-depth analysis of the latest trends in online consumer shopping, covering drivers of online shopping, consumer insights, market dynamics (covering 25 product categories) and reviews of the latest best practice in online retail site design- Based on the latest data, the report not only provides details of the size and growth of this increasingly important channel, it also provides essential contexts on the penetration of online sales by product groups, how growth has developed over time, and key drivers of this market in the future
Introduction and LandscapeWhy was the report written?
"Consumer Attitudes and Online Retail Development in Japan" is the result of Canadean's extensive market research covering the online retail industry in Japan. It provides the magnitude, growth, share, and dynamics of the online retail market in Japan. It is an essential tool for companies active across Japan's online retail value chain and for new companies considering entry into the Japan online retail market. It provides data for historic and forecast online retail sales, and also includes the business environment and country risk related to Japan online retail environment.By examining best practice from leading national large-scale online retailers (but specifically excluding the likes of Amazon whose sites are well-known and vary little by country), as well as reviewing innovative approaches from smaller companies, the report provides insights and ideas about how best to approach growing online sales for your business.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The early adoption of 3G mobile technology meant that the price of fixed internet connections, where most online shopping takes place, was initially very high. Government investment in infrastructure means prices have come down and the penetration rate of fixed broadband internet subscriptions is increasing, but marketers must be prepared to target the large number of consumers who access the internet through their phones.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
While consumer spending in Japan is recovering from the global financial crisis and the 2011 tsunami, these events have accelerated the evolution of online shopping, driving more consumers online in the search for low cost products and encouraging the Japanese to be more open with their public personas on social networks.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?
Consumers have been reacting to the effects of the global recession, including the following recovery period, on their discretionary spending and retail markets have been no exception. While the country by country market changes have varied, nowhere has been left totally untouched.This report quantitatively examines the components of change in the market by looking at historic and future growth patterns, including how changes in consumer behaviour have affected the online retail sector for different product categories.
Key Features and Benefits
Understand consumer behaviour and the online trends in Japan.
Understand which products will be the major winners and losers in the coming years.
Learn from best practice approaches outlined in the case studies of leading online retailers.
Improve market and strategic planning using highly granular, forward-looking market data. Detailed category coverage is provided, covering 25 products, across eight product groups that include: Apparel, Accessories, Luggage and Leather Goods, Books, News and Stationery, Electricals and Electronics, Food and Grocery, Furniture and Floor Coverings, Home and Garden Products, Music, Video and Entertainment Software, and Sports and Leisure Equipment.
Assess the impact of the economic recession and recovery on market growth.
Key Market Issues
Japanese consumers, who are known to use the internet extensively, find online shopping too complex or prefer to physically examine products before purchasing, which impacts the online retail market. In addition to selling the product, marketing campaigns in Japan will therefore have to convince consumers of the benefits online shopping offers.
Early and widespread use of third-generation mobile phones in Japan has limited demand for fast fixed connections at home. Furthermore, high costs when broadband internet first became available drove low initial adoption rates. While prices have come down significantly, use of Fixed Broadband connections in Japan lags behind other countries.
While smartphones are widely used in Japan, opportunities for m-commerce are more limited. Factors such as online payment security, a preference for purchase using laptops or computers and the desire to evaluate products physically before purchasing means that shopping using mobiles remains a niche activity.
Social Media in Japan is evolving: previously, Japanese consumers were reticent to share public details online. However, the growing popularity of Facebook in the country shows that the division between private and public online personas is disappearing.
Japanese consumers still have concerns regarding the security of online payments. They therefore expect online retailers to offer a number of alternative payment systems, including cash on delivery and payment at Konbini stores.
Key Highlights
Online retail's share of total retail sales increased from 1.9% in 2006 to 3.9% in 2011 and is expected to reach 6.1% in 2016.
In terms of online market penetration, Music, Video and Entertainment software was the leading category, with 30.7% of purchases being made online in 2011. Books and news are also popular products to purchase, and often consume, online.
The total number of internet users in Japan passed 100 million for the first time in 2011. Penetration rates are expected to record steady growth, driven by population growth and adoption by older consumers.
Long commutes provide marketers with an opportunity to target consumers who often text, browse or shop online through their mobile phones in order to pass the time. Marketers seeking to make the most of online retail, and particularly m-commerce, should therefore study their target groups' commuting patterns in order to increase their chances of success.
Interest in natural and organic food has grown as consumers raise concerns with modern production methods such as the use of pesticides and genetically modified crops. Online retailers such as Oisix provide an example of a scalable business model reaching niche interests across the country.Table of Contents 1 Introduction1.1 What is this Report About?1.2 Definitions1.2.1 This report provides 2011 actual sales; while forecasts are provided for 2012 - 20161.2.2 Changes to terms used in the Canadean taxonomy1.3 Summary Methodology1.3.1 Overview1.3.2 The triangulated market sizing method1.3.3 Industry surveys in the creation of retail market data1.3.4 Quality control and standardized processes2 Consumer Insight: Online Shopping Attitudes and Behaviors2.1 Overview of the Japanese Online Shopping Environment2.1.1 The total number of internet users is high and continues to increase2.1.2 Use of Fixed Broadband in Japan lags behind other developed countries2.1.3 Consumers average more than one mobile phone subscription per head2.2 Consumer Attitudes and Behavior2.2.1 Online retail sales will record double digit growth during the forecast period2.2.2 Marketers need to convince consumers of the benefits of online shopping2.2.3 Japanese consumers prefer low-touch products when purchasing online2.2.4 Japanese consumers are becoming more open in their Social Media2.2.5 M-commerce has strong potential, but was not widely used in 20112.2.6 The daily commute is a key m-commerce opportunity2.2.7 Online retailers need to offer alternative payment systems3 Online Channel Dynamics3.1 The Online Channel's Share of Total Retail Sales3.1.1 Japanese online vs. offline channel forecasts3.1.2 Online penetration: global and regional comparisons3.2 Channel Dynamics3.2.1 Japan retail channel dynamics - future performance3.2.2 Channel group share development3.2.3 Individual channel performance3.3 Category Dynamics3.3.1 Online vs. offline retail sales comparison by category group, 20113.3.2 Online retail market dynamics by category3.3.3 Online retail sales share by category group3.3.4 Online retail sales growth by individual category3.3.5 Food and grocery categories: market size and forecasts3.3.6 Electrical and electronics categories: market size and forecasts3.3.7 Music, video and entertainment software categories: market size and forecasts3.3.8 Apparel, accessories, luggage and leather group categories: size and forecasts3.3.9 Books, news and stationery categories: market size and forecasts3.3.10 Sports and leisure equipment categories: market size and forecasts3.3.11 Furniture and floor coverings categories: market size and forecasts3.3.12 Home and garden categories: market size and forecasts4 Case Studies: Leading Online Retailers in Japan4.1 Retailer 1: Rakuten Ichiba4.1.1 Business description4.1.2 Site experience4.2 Retailer 2: Yesasia.com4.2.1 Business description4.2.2 Site experience4.3 Other Innovative Retailers in Japan4.3.1 Dena-ec.com4.3.2 Oisix5 Appendix5.1 About Canadean5.2 Disclaimer

That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

Latest Space plasmas Stories
Robert Alexander spends parts of his day listening to a soft white noise, similar to water falling on the outside of a house during a rainstorm. Every once in a while, he hears an anomalous sound and marks the corresponding time in the audio file.
Approximately every 11 years, the sun undergoes a complete personality change from quiet and calm to violently active. The height of the sun's activity, known as solar maximum, is a time of numerous sunspots, punctuated with profound eruptions that send radiation and solar particles out into the far reaches of space.
A space weather storm from the sun engulfed our planet on Jan. 21, 2005. The event got its start on Jan. 20, when a cloud of solar material, a coronal mass ejection or CME, burst off the sun and headed toward Earth.
Once every 50 years, more or less, a massive star explodes somewhere in the Milky Way. The resulting blast is terrifyingly powerful, pumping out more energy in a split second than the sun emits in a million years. At its peak, a supernova can outshine the entire Milky Way.
On Aug. 24, 2014, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 8:16 a.m. EDT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the flare, which erupted on the left side of the sun.
On the evening of Aug. 20, 2014, the International Space Station was flying past North America when it flew over the dazzling, green blue lights of an aurora. On board, astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this image of the aurora, seen from above.
As children, we are told never to look directly at the Sun, especially through the lens of a camera, telescope or magnifying glass. To fully understand our star, scientists must use spacecraft that can observe this invisible light before it is absorbed by the atmosphere.
The largest catalog ever assembled for stellar compositions was unveiled this week is critical to understanding the properties of stars, the mechanism of their formation, and the possible connections with orbiting planets.
Scientists on Sunday highlighted an impressive list of achievements in researching the outer heliosphere at the 40th International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Scientific Assembly in Moscow.
Scientists have recently gathered some of the strongest evidence to date to explain what makes the sun's outer atmosphere so much hotter than its surface.

Solar cycles: what are they and why should we care about them? Solar cycles are made up of what are known as solar minimums (min) and solar maximums (max). We refer to a solar min at the time when the sun is not active with many sunspots, while a solar max is just the opposite when we see a large increase in sunspot activity. So how long do solar cycles last? Typically they run on what is known as an 11 year cycle from the max to the min and then start over again anew. As of 2012 we...
Solar Physics is a journal for solar and solar-stellar research and the study of solar terrestrial physics. Founded in 1967 by solar physicist Cornelis de Jager and publisher D. Reidel, the journal treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution, to outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Solar Physics has four more than forty years been the principal journal for publications of fundamental research on the Sun. It is...
A Radio Atmospheric signal (sometimes referred to as Sferic or Spheric), is a broadband electromagnetic impulse that occurs during atmospheric lightning discharges. Sferics spread out from the lightning source and can be received thousands of miles away. A sferic, depending on atmospheric conditions, may extend anywhere from a few kHz to several tens of kHz. Sferics from far reaching storms, over 1500 miles away, are generally offset in frequency range and may be picked up as tweeks. A...
Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén (May 30, 1908 - April 2, 1995) was a Swedish plasma physicist born in Norrköping, Sweden. Alfvén received his PhD from the University of Uppsala in 1934. His thesis was titled "Investigations of the Ultra-short Electromagnetic Waves." He was originally trained as an electrical power engineer and later moved on to research and teaching in the fields of plasma physics. Alfvén made many contributions to plasma physics, including theories describing the...
Ring Current -- A ring current is an electric current carried by charged particles trapped in a planet's magnetosphere. It is caused by the longitudinal drift of energetic (10-200 keV) particles. Earth's Ring Current Earth's ring current is responsible for geomagnetic storms. The ring current system consists of a band, at a distance of 3-5 RE(1), which lies in the equatorial plane and circulates clockwise around the Earth (when viewed from the north).

30 Minutes Inside Valve's Prototype Virtual Reality Headset 59
from the inside-your-head dept.
Slashdot is powered by your submissions, so send in your scoop
I got a rift dev kit, and this sounds like a good leap forward on its design. Hopefully the consumer rift and this are both compatible with some sort of core software principals. The last thing the emergent VR economy needs is splintering.
Someone should also come out with an app/UI that allowed people to have as many and as large virtual displays as they want, and manage them easily (gestures or hotkeys or whatever).
Then you won't need multiple large physical monitors.
Future versions might have cameras or special optics so that you can do augmented reality or just fade in and out of full virtual reality.
Maybe Microsoft will get off their "Metro" butts and do something about it. Same goes for GNOME, KDE etc.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.

Here are a couple of cases in point. Ann Taylor, Labour's Leader of the Commons, told yesterday's Sunday Telegraph that she thinks possible reforms to Commons procedure might include swipe card voting, time allocations, and - wait for it - applause for speeches and well-made points.
Swipe cards, and better organised debating time, more socially amenable hours, and so on, are all welcome improvements in their way. But happy clappy Commons? No. Up with that we should not put. Ms Taylor was a little hesitant, admitting that too much clapping might not be a good idea; which means, presumably, that the whips would advise MPs in advance of those occasions when spontaneous outbursts are appropriate.
All this nonsense stems from a large crowd of new New Labour MPs coming in and feeling frustrated that they are not allowed to leap about and cheer when Mr Blair arrives at the despatch box, as if Noel and Liam have just walked on stage, but must instead wave their order papers and shout "hear, hear". Well, they need to learn that the Commons is neither a political rally, nor a pop concert, even though they might enjoy either of those alternatives more. It is a debating chamber, and to the extent that the rules keep it that way, the rules should be kept.
Then up pops the cheerful visage of the Conservative leader with more nonsense, this time of the Opposition variety. He alleges that New Labour is a "control freak" government which is in danger of "marginalising" Parliament. In fact, the problem is so serious that it poses a long-term threat to the health of our democracy.
William Hague's evidence for this malign cancer, already rotting away our body politic before it has even had a chance to do a spot of post- election sunbathing, is that the new government is over-using the guillotine (cutting short debate on Bills), reducing Question Time, and talking to people in focus groups outside the House. Now Mr Hague is a young man, but not so young that he cannot recall that the Tories were recently in power for a very long time, and were superbly well practised in all the arts of trampling on Parliament's sensibilities, abusing executive power, ignoring the real wishes of the populace, dismissively mistreating their own backbenchers, and regarding the official Opposition as beneath contempt and not really worth bothering to answer at all.
Indeed, some might say that the Thatcher government was especially prone to presuming itself a one-party state. Two words are a complete answer to Tory complaints that Parliament is being ignored, and democracy at risk: the words are "poll", and "tax", in that order. Frankly, if Mrs Thatcher had had the wit to attend the odd focus group or two she might have learnt something about what people really thought about her version of democracy - but then, that phase of Tory government was concerned with vanguardism, which is famously not very interested in what the people feel, only what they can be made to do. It might also be worth recalling that every major social Bill in that parliament was guillotined, along with all the major public utility privatisations. In fact this government is being rather fairer with the guillotine, by announcing well in advance when it intends to use it, which was not the Tory practice.
No - the real problem lies somewhere between Mr Hague's confected indignation and the inevitable shock of new Labour MPs discovering that Parliament was not created yesterday. The real problem with Parliament is that no one in this government seems able to articulate quite what it's for, other than to keep telling Labour MPs to be "disciplined", and berate anyone who declines to sign up to New Dawn optimism.
So far as the Commons is concerned, a lot of this agonising is merely the consequence of Labour winning such a dominant majority. But the truth is that Parliament does have a problem, and it is the other house - the House of Lords. Mr Blair swung a few friendly faces from among his business world friends into ermine only last Friday. Funny, really, when you think that New Labour is supposed to be in favour of democratising the second chamber. Or is it? The truth is, apart from being opposed to the hereditary principle, no one really knows what Mr Blair intends to do with the Lords. We are told that he is lining up working peers ready to prevent the hereditary Tories from frustrating any central part of his programme. Fine - but surely that cannot be it? Were we not promised more radical reform? What shape might it take? The answer is important, because it will tell us how open Blairism really is to having its policies more or less objectively scrutinised and revised in a separate chamber, and not by placemen, either. Who knows what the people think about updating incidental Commons procedures? Probably they barely care. But we should not clap this government too loudly until we see it start to modernise the parliamentary system itself.

The key events that have transformed an NBA franchise
- Erik Spanberg
- Senior Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+

We do need nuclear powerTempletonCharlee SmithAndrew Christie states in his letter on May 9 that nuclear power "has made too many promises it has failed to keep" ("Our answer: Nuclear is dangerous and unnecessary"). This is true, but it doesn't negate the fact that nuclear power is still needed in our energy future. NASA's James Hansen, the father of Global Warming, along with our local climate change expert Dr. Ray Weymann, are both proponents of building more nuclear plants. It's time for the Sierra Club to get its head out of the sand. By quoting Mr. Lovins claim that "existing technologies for more efficient end-use can save three-fourths of U.S. electricity," you are just creating another failed promise. When our cars become primarily electric powered, we will need even more electricity. David Deick's original opinion piece (April 25) was a little over the top in its promotion of nuclear power, but it was filled with many relevant facts. His blaming primarily Big Oil for the current opposition to nuclear power, however, was way off base. |

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, January 29, 2014 — Waves Audio has unveiled its MetaFilter plugin, a versatile sound-shaping filter. Designed around a modulatable multimode filter using Waves' proprietary Virtual Voltage technology, Waves MetaFilter has everything users need in a sound-shaping filter plugin. The versatile MetaFilter creative effects unit provides all the warmth, depth and fatness of classic analog filters, with the modern control and endless flexibility that uniquely characterize Waves tools.
MetaFilter lets users individually modulate the filter cutoff, resonance and delay time using three separate modulators – 16-step sequencer, LFO and Envelope follower – which make it easy to achieve effects such as filter sweeping, tremolo, auto-wah, rhythmic gating, ducking and hypnotic modulating delays with saturation buildups.
With intuitive controls that are inviting and enjoyable to use, MetaFilter allows users to effortlessly customize and program their own presets, and due to its easy-to-use MIDI Learn capabilities, the plugin can be controlled from any MIDI control device, perfect for live DJ performances. Moreover, when connected to a MIDI keyboard it can actually be utilized for playing the filter cutoff.
Whether it's used for creating rhythmic loops and tracks from sound bites, adding a subtle effect to a guitar part, or simply mangling a vocal track just for the fun of it, the endless possibilities and versatility of the MetaFilter make it an essential tool for creating and producing innovative, eccentric and cutting-edge music, in the studio and on stage.
MetaFilter features:
Waves MetaFilter will be available early 2014 with pricing TBA. Visit www.waves.com for more information.

At least 32 killed in southern India train fire
A fire swept through a train car packed with sleeping passengers in southern India today, killing at least 32 people and sending panicked survivors rushing for the only clear exit once the train stopped, officials said.
Investigators found charred remains of victims still in their sleeping berths and were struggling to identify them.
A railway station worker noticed the burning coach as the overnight train from New Delhi to the southeastern city of Chennai passed through the town of Nellore at about 4 a.m., local official B. Sridhar said. Nellore is about 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.
Once the alarm was raised, the train was stopped and the coach was detached from the rest of the train to prevent the blaze from spreading.
Passengers were evacuated once the train was halted.
"Since the fire had engulfed one door of the coach, people had to rush to the other end of the coach to exit," Sridhar said by telephone from the accident site.
Passengers said the fire spread swiftly through the coach.
"We woke up suddenly when the train came to a halt. That's when we noticed the fire at one end of the coach and shouted out. People were still sleeping, but once they realized the danger they scrambled to the door," Shantanu, a passenger in the coach, told New Delhi Television.
He said it took passengers a few minutes to react and push their way through the narrow space between the berths.
"By the time we got out of the door, the coach was completely on fire," said Shantanu, who like many Indians uses only one name. He said firefighters sprayed water over the burning coach, but it was gutted.
Sridhar said the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit in the coach.
The blaze killed 32 people and nine others were missing, said K. Sambashivarao, a spokesman for the Indian railways. Earlier, a regional railway manager, Anil Kumar, had put the death toll at 47. He was not reachable Monday afternoon. At least 25 others were hospitalized with burns, officials said.
Railway and medical workers were trying to identify the dead, Sridhar, the local official, said.
"This is a very difficult task, since some of the bodies are charred beyond recognition," Sridhar said, adding that officials were making preliminary identifications based on the reservations chart from the train's records.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh conveyed his condolences to the families of the victims.
India has one of the world's largest train networks, with more than 10,000 trains and 64,000 kilometers (40,000 miles) of track. Around 20 million people travel by train each day.
Meanwhile, 30 Hindu pilgrims were killed when two trucks collided in the northern Indian state of Haryana, police said.
Thirty-five others were injured in the head-on collision earlier today when the pilgrims were returning home from visiting a Hindu temple in nearby Rajasthan state, said police superintendent Karta Ram. Bhiwani is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) west of New Delhi.

Edward Snowden reminds us just how vital whistleblowers are to a healthy society
The least we can do is protest the mistreatment of these figures who tell us what we need to know
On the face of it, barring the discovery of as yet unknown motives, it would seem that the whistleblower behind the biggest leak in the history of the National Security Agency (the NSA) is a person of extraordinary courage and heroism.
His actions, for which he has sacrificed contact with family and friends as well as the prospect of returning to his homeland anytime soon, have thrown a light on practices that are a bitter affront to liberty. He has exposed programmes that ought to be centre-stage in any meaningful debate about the health of western democracy, let alone civil freedoms. We should be enormously grateful for such efforts.
Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden have come to occupy the role of informants to a citizenry excluded from access to vital information on practices undertaken in their name, with their tax money and, many would argue, against their interests. They open doors to accountability. Calls for Snowden to be extradited on the basis that he has broken the law should be judged against these considerations.
Indeed, it is a familiar resort of governments under fire to emphasize the offences of their antagonists in an attempt to efface their own. Yet Washington cannot cry foul over the illegality of Snowden's actions without engaging in mordant self-ridicule, like Syria condemning other countries for their war crimes. This is not least because the programmes exposed by Snowden appear to be operating unconstitutionally on a grand scale.
As Glenn Greenwald asked on his Twitter account: 'If everyone is so sure this spying is legal, why does Obama ['s] [Department of Justice] keep preventing federal courts from ruling on its constitutionality?'
It is a pertinent question. Such reluctance may have something to do with the fact that, according to the invaluable Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF), a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) opinion on relevant NSA activities found them to be unconstitutional.
Predictably the documents pertaining to this high-level assessment have been kept out of the public eye. EFF reports that the analysis "found the National Security Agency's surveillance under the FISA Amendments Act …violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures". It further observed that "the surveillance at issue was carried out under the same controversial legal authority that underlies the NSA's recently-revealed PRISM program." As we know now, PRISM is the electronic surveillance programme allegedly used by US intelligence to collect vast amounts of user data 'direct from the servers' of major net companies. The phrase "those who have nothing to hide, have nothing to fear" comes to mind, although not in the usual context.
While Mr Hague and his American counterparts have made assurances to the public in the aftermath of this week's revelations, grounds for concern remain. Hague, for example, appeared to deny claims that Britain circumvented its own laws by making use of intelligence acquired through PRISM. But documents revealed by the Guardian indicate that the US has been sharing material from PRISM with the UK since 2010. Is someone lying, misinformed or can both somehow statements be technically true? The Foreign Secretary refused to be drawn on details in the commons recently.
However, former Home Secretary David Blunkett appeared to lay out how the UK could gain such data without violating legal safeguards- by being offered the information, rather than requesting it. In any case, even if such activities have not happened yet, they could at any point in the future.
Setting the above aside, the sheer size of the data sweeps revealed to have been conducted should prompt public concern. Snowden's fellow ex-NSA whistleblower William Binney has claimed that the intelligence community in the United States are developing profiles 'of everybody in the country' using surveillance programmes and powerful software. Binney alleges that by using these resources the authorities can scan up to 100 billion emails a day as well as capture other private online material- and send them away for analysis and storage. Yet another NSA whistleblower, Thomas Drake, has averred that Snowden has merely exposed 'the tip of the iceberg' regarding state surveillance and stressed that, based on his experience, the NSA sought to 'own the net' by creating a virtual 'panopticon' that collected as much data as it possibly could, on everyone it could.
Looking at what we do know, given that it has been reported that PRISM allows for the collection of data 'including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats'- the programme could potentially collect all sorts of private material for political intelligence purposes. The US government has abused its surveillance powers before, while Britain has had its own issues also. Commensurate with the enormous expansion of this very capacity, the potential for improper use is greater now than ever- as a result, it is in all of our interests to demand new, tough oversight mechanisms to prevent such practices.
Sadly, protections of this sort do not appear to be forthcoming. As long as this is so, it largely remains the role of whistleblowers to tell us what we ought to know. When they do so only to get crucified by the state, as Snowden may well be yet and Bradley Manning certainly has been, it is the least that we can do to protest their mistreatment, while standing up to reclaim the liberties they sacrificed their freedom to defend.

Tony Parker suffered a hamstring injury in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday and his status is uncertain for Game 4 on Thursday.
Parker, who could not remember which play he hurt the hamstring, will undergo an MRI on Wednesday.
"Hopefully it's nothing big and it's just a cramping, or got tight on me," said Parker, who returned briefly in the fourth after the injury. "It was just a weird feeling. The doctor said I was OK…and we were up big so Pop didn't want to take a risk. We will see [Wednesday]."
Parker scored just six points in Game 4, but the San Antonio Spurs blew out the Miami Heat 113-77.
Parker reported no pain after the game.
