Last week, some news came to a head. Some very disappointing news that makes me really wonder about people.
A new author, Ryan Holiday, has written a book called, "Trust Me, I'm Lying." And, with it, a gaggle of blog posts and articles are coming out about how reporters and bloggers have been duped by the 25-year-old claiming to be a PR professional, but who is instead a "media manipulator."
Let's Start from the Beginning
I don't disagree with the premise of his thinking. He says journalists and bloggers are manipulated because of the 24/7 news cycle, which doesn't allow for fact checking and source investigating that it did of the past.
In a recent Forbes article, he wrote:
At top of the pantheon of the media manipulators, of course, sits the late Andrew Brietbart. "Feeding the media is like training a dog," he once said, "You can't throw an entire steak at a dog to train it to sit. You have to give it little bits of steak over and over again until it learns." And learned it did: they followed his lead exactly in the Shirley Sherrod story, and continue to fall for the manipulations of his student, James O'Keefe, who has ravaged NPR, ACORN, and many other liberal organizations.
And then you have influential bloggers, such as Michael Arrington, founder and former editor of TechCrunch, who once said, "Getting it right is expensive, getting it first is cheap."
Things are now written and published based on – what I call ego-driven metrics – pageviews and number of clicks, regardless of it being right or not.
It's easy to get sucked into those metrics. After all, organizations are getting funding and making money based on eyeballs. And they feel good. Really good.
But that Doesn't Make it Right
Along the way, he began to use Help a Reporter Out (HARO), the brain child of Peter Shankman (who later sold it to Vocus).
HARO is a free service that puts sources in touch with media outlets. A journalist or blogger sends a query and people who have expertise on that topic email back.
Holiday decided to respond to each and every query he got, whether or not he knew anything about the topic. Nor did he do it alone. He enlisted an assistant to use his name in order to field as many requests as humanly possible.
He expected it to take a few months of meticulous navigation, but he found himself with more requests than he could handle in a matter of weeks.
According to the Forbes article,
On Reuters, he became the poster child for "Generation Yikes." On ABC News, he was one of a new breed of long-suffering insomniacs. At CBS, he made up an embarrassing office story, at MSNBC he pretended someone sneezed on him while working at Burger King. At Manitouboats.com, he offered helpful tips for winterizing your boat. The capstone came in the form of a New York Times piece on vinyl records.
But he's an expert on none of these things and, in fact, doesn't suffer from insomnia or collect vinyl records.
Spin Sucks
This guy is neither a PR professional or a communicator.
He is a liar.
In his own words:
I am a media manipulator. My job is to use the media to make people do or think things they otherwise would not. People like me are there, behind the curtain, pulling the puppet strings.
Yes, the 24/7 news cycle is a beast. Yes, there are free services, like HARO, that make it easier for journalists to source their stories without a ton of elbow grease. Yes, deadlines make it harder and harder to fact check and get it right.
But it's still the job of the journalist or blogger to do exactly that and use services, such as HARO, as a starting point. And it's the job of the PR professional to be ethical, not lie, or "pull puppet strings."
Our industry is not regulated by a governing body so it's up to us to self-police. Do we really want to be known as liars? Or will you join me in being ethical and shouting from the rooftops, "Spin Sucks!!"?

A-freakin'-men. #thatisall
@jasonkonopinski The more I read, the more pissed off I got. What is wrong with people?
@ginidietrich Quite a bit, it seems. 😉
"Spin Sucks!!"
I am afraid there will always be people among us. But I like that you are calling them out. We need more people like you.
@JustInTheSouth The fact of the matter remains that people like this are few and far between, but he's gotten A TON of media attention and written a ton of stories about how to manipulate the media…all because they get lots of traffic and social shares. It hurts an entire industry.
@ginidietrich I could agree with that. They do get too much attention which is why it can be a tough decision on calling them out or ignoring them. So, this format is best for both exposing him and keeping the industry honest.
It still is messed-up that he would openly admit "People like me are there, behind the curtain, pulling the puppet strings."
@JustInTheSouth @ginidietrich This dude was hired by Tucker Max as his publicist. He's had some pretty big name celebrity clients and he's been successful on their behalf.
But what he is most certainly not doing is PR.
@jasonkonopinski @JustInTheSouth Publicity is not PR, but it seems celebrity publicity is far different than the media relations we know.
@ginidietrich @JustInTheSouth THIS.
@ginidietrich @jasonkonopinski @JustInTheSouth "Publicity is not PR" was in my reply to Ryan's 'apology' on Peter's post. It's about as thorough a takedown on that weasel as I could manage.
@Ike @ginidietrich @jasonkonopinski @JustInTheSouth And it was brilliant. 🙂
@Ike I personally loved the rewrite you did of his comment.
@KenMueller It is … but not among the masses. When a large agency was found out about their whisper campaigns, things were done about it. It's not the norm.
I think the sub-headline is how the current environment allowed him to con so many so fast. A good con artist will adapt to any environment — look at what happened at the New Republic back in the Nineties — but nowadays it's just so easy.
At least we have Spin Sucks to brandish the sword of PR righteousness. 🙂
@adamtoporek I'm not sure it's the fault of the journalists he duped. Yes, they could have done better fact checking, but his day job provides some credibility and, according to some, he talked like the other (real) sources so they had no reason not to believe him. The best thing that can happen now is places like Forbes and Fast Company take him off their contributor list.
Good to know. Is it not inevitable that this is the way things will go? As much as we want this not to happen it will certainly continue. It's good that we have places like this to come to where we know the "spin" is left at the door. Whew!
@rdopping Everything will be gamed. Everything. But that doesn't make it right.
@ginidietrich No it does not. Here's to "keeping it real!" See you Thursday….
As someone in a deservedly black eyed industry, I feel your pain. Yes, ideally there are honourable people doing good work and making good decisions. Raising the bar for everyone.
But, a cautionary tale like this could and should provoke the kinda reaction that helps polarize your tribe against it. Just as seeing the patent malpractice committed in my industry by #kooziemongercorporateassclowndouchecanoecatalogcarpetbombinggladhandhashtagjackingcreepystalkersweatervestguys helps inspire us to not be THAT guy.
@swagclub LOL! That is the longest hashtag I have ever seen. Nicely played, sir. Nicely played!
@MightyCaseyMedia Well, I'm certainly trying to do my part. I get it. I do. The ego-driven metrics are hard to ignore. Especially when companies like Twitter are getting a gazillion dollars for their eyeballs and no revenue model. And Arrington made $25 million on his "get there first" mentality. But that doesn't make it right and we need to stop rewarding that behavior.
@ginidietrich I'd personally love to clone you and have you in every mass comm/J-school course catalog from sea to shining sea, and beyond. When you DO speak to college/early-career audiences, do you sense that they get the issue, or that they care at all? My fear is that my generation has raised a generation of ego-driven narcissists …
@MightyCaseyMedia When I speak to classrooms, I sense a huge sense of naivety. I've never brought this particular thing up (though I will from now on), but I do find they are naive when it comes to the types of things they post online and how it can hurt their job prospects.
@ginidietrich Teach them to always check sources, or to always be a *truthful* source. I have a fervent hope that this Holiday d-bag will become a cautionary tale, but I simultaneously worry that the gamification-of-everything will make people think that spin-gaming like this is outstanding …
@KenMueller University of California – Riverside. B.S. in Political Science, at least according to his CrunchBase bio.
@jasonkonopinski ah, and now we know what the BS stands for.
@KenMueller @jasonkonopinski LOL!
@jasonkonopinski @KenMueller Whoa. Whoa. I thought he dropped out of school to work under Tucker Max? I don't think he actually got a degree.
@ginidietrich @KenMueller You know, you might be right. @blogcastfm did an interview with him last week. I'll have to go back and check.
And while I don't approve of his tactics, I will say that he's doing pretty darn well for himself at 25.
@jasonkonopinski @KenMueller Until now. I hope the big media outlets remove him from their contributor list. I think he just shot himself in the foot.
@ginidietrich @jasonkonopinski Of course, no matter what his bio/resume says, we can't believe that either.
@ginidietrich @KenMueller He may well have shot himself in the foot. Only time will tell. That said, he's the Director of Marketing for American Apparel at present and he clearly understands how to be controversial in his campaigns. On that alone, I'm sure that some big brand will roll the dice on him when he leaves that post.
I certainly don't have any love for the guy, but I can't ignore what he's managed to achieve for his publicity clients (Tucker Max, et al).
@jasonkonopinski And everyone knows that only young people understand how to use social media. Oops, wrong discussion. 😉
@TheJackB Oh – don't get me started on that idiocy. 🙂
@josefrivera Yeah, like I said I don't disagree with his idea that media is out for pageviews and clicks. But I do disagree with the idea of manipulating media to get what you want. It does the entire industry a HUGE disservice.
@josefrivera Newsroom is a television show. I don't know that we can say it clearly demonstrates anything other than Aaron Sorkin has enough juice to have his fiction placed on television.
@TheJackB @josefrivera It is great fiction though.
Wow. I can't help but believe that there are more sociopaths in our ranks than we would have thought. I recently engaged Ali Velshi in conversation after he reported that Obamacare had been overturned. Apparently fact checking is obsolete, even if you work at CNN.
@RebeccaTodd Uh…yeah. There was that whole debacle. Even the Sun-Times ran that story. Terrible.
@katemhamilton I liked your blog post about the NextGen article.
@ginidietrich thank you and thanks for commenting!
Devil's advocate here… he ADMITS what he is… I fail to see how he is damaging the the PR industry…
You have WAY TOO MANY examples of "legit" folks doing what he does doing infinitely more damage in that he doesn't claim to be "legit"
@KenMueller @faybiz What Ken said. The reason we named this blog Spin Sucks is because I HATE it when I tell people what I do for a living and their first response is, "Oh you lie." Or "Oh you're a truth spinner." Both of those could not be further from the truth, but that's the perception. And it's people like this that perpetuate that perception.
@ginidietrich @KenMueller I dunno… he shows how you can game the media… and admits he is…
it shows the media to be sheep and/or worse…
if the base line public already see it that way, I fail to see how it makes it much worse… (doesn't help)
but in my mind, when the public sees a "legit" firm doing something shady like what he does, it has to be worse… because they are saying "hey, we wouldn't lie… would we?"
@faybiz @ginidietrich I guess my point is that we are insiders. I know this and you know this, but the general public doesn't differentiate. PR is PR is PR as far as most people are concerned. Most people wouldn't know a "legit" firm from a guy like this. So it just perpetuates the overall perception.
@KenMueller Exactly.
@KenMueller @faybiz @ginidietrich I hate to say it but that is the case for most industries. An architect is an architect is an architect. Hardly, but who (other than insiders) can really discern the difference?
BTW, isn't that why they call it spin (even tho it sucks)? Are you going to turn down a gig when it feels like you have to PR some touchy issue? Tricky subject for me because I am one of those considered in the "general public."
@Rieva I miss you!
@ginidietrich likewise. Wish I were coming to Chicago this year
@Rieva I wish you were, too!
@ginidietrich sigh! hoopefully next year.
@alisonlaw Thanks Alison!
@adamtoporek It truly makes me want to cry.
@ginidietrich That's because you care — which is a good thing.
@MervynDinnen Hey Mervyn! How are you??
@ginidietrich I'm good Gini, how are you?
@MervynDinnen Pretty good!
@mediaphyter Sigh…
You know what would make an interesting conversation? Putting Ryan Holiday's about media "manipulation" opposite dmscott and "Newsjacking". Discuss.
@jasonkonopinski dmscott Not the same. Not even close. There's a difference between tying into trends and making one up.
@Frank_Strong dmscott Oh I know. I was just being provocative. 🙂
@Frank_Strong @jasonkonopinski And lying about your "expertise."
@Frank_Strong Thanks Frank & Jason. While it would be fun to debate, they are different things.
@davidmeermanscott @Frank_Strong Indeed they are! Cheers David.
@jasonkonopinski dmscott @ginidietrich – Interesting idea. This is the lowest form of publicity – hucksterism based on a practical joke/lie. People have been doing that for a long time – but the good ones do it with a point and a smile. This seems like someone who just wanted to boost his profile (and he did). Just because you say something provocative, doesn't mean you have something of value to day. Really enjoyed the post, btw.
So, your book is selling well? (Yiddish voice)
I have an idea; let's stop talking about this dude.
Free PR for him is damaging to the industry, too.
He'll be a nobody soon, anyway. Let's help him get there by not talking about him from this day forth 🙂
@FranchiseKing This is perfect fodder for Spin Sucks because it's important people understand what's going on in the world. Lots and lots of business owners read this blog and don't follow these kinds of stories. I feel it's our job to let them know there are con artists out there who can scam them into paying lots of money for doing unethical things. After all, stopping this behavior and changing the perception of the PR industry is what this blog is all about.
@ginidietrich Totally agree. Stick to your mission. Maybe if your blog wasn't so well read…
Great job on this. I just wish the dude wouldn't get his name plastered all over the place.
Probably encourages him.
@FranchiseKing I hope it takes him down…hopefully the big media outlets no longer allow him to contribute anything.
Spin Sucks!!!
@AverageWomanSJ Thank you!
@jasonkonopinski Thanks, interesting. I just commented.
Don't trust me, I'm telling the truth – The media puppet masters have been doing this for decades. Haven't you seen The Truman Show? That's why there's such a need for good conspiracy theorists. News, unfortunately, has become a mix of real events and entertaining realistic looking scenarios.
@SociallyGenius Or Wag the Dog?
@wabbitoid Just like racy headlines or controversial content creates pageviews and social shares…this stuff will continue to happen because people are focused on the metrics that make them feel good instead of those that drive business results.
@HeatherTweedy The biggest thing that bothers me: lying was a tool to promote a book. He's not making a point, he's manipulating people — you and me included — to sell a book.
@HeatherTweedy I guess, I just don't see it that way, Heather. Lying about trivial anecdotes — things that would be ridiculously time consuming to fact check — isn't making a point.
@Frank_Strong Fair point
@CristerDelacruz I disagree. That one person isn't hurting the industry just because he exposed a weakness. The industry is hurting itself
Kinda makes you wonder how many other guys like this are lurking out there.
@KurtScholle Unfortunately, probably too many. And it disturbs me that there will be people who emulate this in a hurry to get rich quick.
By the way, I suppose I should use this opportunity to confess that I'm not who you think I am. I'm really Robert Downey Junior…
@KenMueller Yeah, and I am Dear Abby.
@TheJackB You are? Wow. Well in that case, let me tell you about my Mother-in-law, and see if you can help me.
@TheJackB You totally are Dear Abby.
@KenMueller You are?!? We've known each other all along?
@ginidietrich Yeah. We have. So be gentle when we meet. You know, in Toronto.
Given the right amount of charm and ambition, I think anyone could game the system for at least a little while. The beauty of a free (or relatively free Country) is that eventually liars are called out. But, I agree that it is up to the professionals as well to make sure they get the facts straight. Either that or it isn't. Definitely one of those two. And Ken can't be Robert Downey, Jr. because I am!
@jonmikelbailey I have some charm and a TON of ambition, but you don't see me gaming the system. My brain doesn't work that way. If it did, I would join Anonymous to poke holes in "secure" systems.
@ginidietrich I didn't say that if you have charm and ambition that you should game the system or that gaming the system was an inevitability. With great charm and ambition comes great responsibility – like making sure you wear comfortable but stylish shoes.
@jonmikelbailey Who said anything about comfortable shoes? If they look good, who cares if they're comfortable?
@jonmikelbailey And P.S. If you're RDJ, you know what that means?
@ginidietrich What? That my dad's name is Bob? Well, it is!
@ginidietrich that image makes my eyes bleed…
The worst thing about this is that it made me wonder if the joke's on me for believing in ethics and following them. Really, I thought, "Am I the naive one here? Clearly what this guy is doing actually worked for him." So I'm glad people who have been in the industry much longer are saying that this is not typical or acceptable behavior. It's sad, really. We take one step forward and someone like this puts us about 10 more steps back.
@jeffespo I can't imagine anyone reading this blog post will buy his book.
@ginidietrich you never know. But the asshat subscribes to the any publicity is good publicity kind of thing and idiots do believe that…
Not that I do or anything… and you know I can't read… remember my pop-up marketing in the round?
@jeffespo Oh yeah…only visuals for you. Like the one used in this blog post.
@jackielamp I'm with you – I realize it's naive of me to think everyone will behave ethically. I will be really disappointed if he isn't pulled from the big magazine sites. That's the only real way to punish him.
Shouting from rooftop: Ethics do matter and SPIN SUCKS! How one man's lies affect all journalists, PR per @ginidietrich http://t.co/kX8XPLS0
@KristK Thank you!
@flemingsean Totally agree with you, Sean. I had trouble putting my thoughts together initially because I agree with his premise that our 24/7 news cycle that cares about shares and clicks is creating something that isn't reliable and credible. But there is only thing we can change…and that's how we behave in that kind of industry. Perhaps it's our jobs, as communications professionals, to not manipulate the media, but to provide them with as much fact-driven data as we can find on the topic.
But I always do check with me when I'm writing a post about myself; which I'm prone to do quite often. Ok, ok, I might embellish the stories at times so people will think I'm way better looking or cooler than I really am, but the basic premise is still the truth.
It's lazy at best and it certainly isn't right and even though we should care, how many people really do? Is this another example of where the line has been moved so far that what is now acceptable looks ugly indeed…..but it's the new norm?
@bdorman264 If this is the new norm, I'm quitting my job and writing fiction full-time. At least then I won't be disappointed by all the liars.
But…you don't have to embellish about how good looking you are.
@ginidietrich @bdorman264 I got banned from commenting at mashable because I would challenge their non-facts with the real facts.
@ginidietrich lead on my dear. We will follow… spin sucks.
@Billy_Delaney Thank you!
@ginidietrich worthy :))
What a complete and utter jerkwad. While I agree with @seanfleming that journos have a responsibility to check sources, etc., it boggles the mind that nowadays we all need to be so incredibly cynical and untrusting as to think the worst of everything we read and everybody we connect with, personally, professionally or otherwise. Coming from TV land, sometimes crap happens and erroneous information makes it to air (hey, journalists are human too!) – but this story – this deliberate ruse to prove some self-serving point – really makes me sick.
@belllindsay Oh you should see all the links. I had something like 20 tabs open while I was reading about it to write this blog post. On one hand, I completely see his point about not doing your due diligence. But it astounds me people not only manipulate for a living, but come out and say the do. AND, when they write about it, people in the comments are asking for advice on how they can do the same. I know it's naive of me to think everyone is good and ethical, but still.
Also. Three more sleeps.
@ginidietrich @belllindsay @justinthesouth You aren't permitted to have fun without me in TO. <grumble, grumble>
@jasonkonopinski @belllindsay @justinthesouth @ginidietrich recent study said 98% of people do not trust what they see on the web. Kind of there goes klout and social influence right?
@HowieSPM @jasonkonopinski @justinthesouth @ginidietrich I have no clue whether you are being serious or not. 😉
@ginidietrich WHEEEEEEEE!!!!! 😀
@ginidietrich He is an ASS. Sure, the press is often manipulated, but doing it intentionally and then basking in glow of the fire he started is disgusting. Is this really "Forbes-worthy?"
@KellyLux @jdross I just started reading this book! Interesting perspective, but it's a bit infuriating. Def. not #PR I'd like to emulate.
@ChelseaOrcutt @kellylux Thanks for recommendation – will have to check it out.
I am glad you wrote about this Gini, I knew you would have something to say and the community here at Spinsucks as well. This is the selfish, unethical and un-sustainable approach to business. What I often wonder is if these people ever have any remorse for their decision to put their ego/profit above the quality of their character.
As to the issue of self policing, I think it's really happening and happening right now.
@jasonkonopinski @jsprenk is this a true story? #want
@laurenboyer @jsprenk Is what a true story? That Ryan Holiday posed as an "expert" in countless HARO inquiries? Absolutely.
@jasonkonopinski @jsprenk omg. Crazy. Wrong on so many levels, but totally intriguing
@jasonkonopinski This is my fave book I've read recently: http://t.co/XxN0oyg9
@laurenboyer You need to chat with Bill Swartz about Finkel. Knows him personally.
@jasonkonopinski sooo cool. That's one of my favorite books in general. Such a weird chain of events
Shattered Glass all over again, right? Except this time it's our business. And he's making a boatload of money doing it. Gah.
@Shonali That's what concerns me…people will see what he's "accomplished" and want to emulate him.
@ginidietrich I'm so mad, my grammar is suffering!
@EricaAllison @ginidietrich I was just reading the article. I think he convinces a lot of people because he's well-written, and he formulates his argument well.There are some interesting conversations happening on Facebook in regard to the article and his actions. I decided to join one conversation and may live to regret it.
@Erin F. @EricaAllison Yes…and he wrote a post on his own blog where he called me entitled and lazy. He also thinks he and I have the same views, which he's clearly mistaken about. I believe spin sucks and am fighting to abolish it and, well, he is not.
What really bothers me are the conversations happening on FB. There are people who really think being good and nice and ethical will only make you mediocre.
@ginidietrich @EricaAllison You must have seen some of the same conversation threads that I did. They make me sad.
@ginidietrich @Erin F. Saw that thread and am disappointed beyond measure. Just wrote a blog post/rant about the state of affairs.
@EricaAllison @ginidietrich Maybe I should have been more opinionated in my own response, but I didn't want to get into a fight on Facebook. Maybe that's what being nice gets you – a check against saying whatever you want whenever and however you want. I guess I was hoping to create a dialogue, too, but I probably didn't do a good job of it. Maybe I'll write a blog post, too.
Media easy to fool RT @johnhaydon How One Person is Hurting an Entire Industry by @SpinSucks http://t.co/Rp3J1ZxZ
[…] tone that makes us proud to be in the communications business, rather than being embarrassed by the likes of Ryan Holiday, the lying jerk and "media manipulator." The letter is non-threatening, helpful, […]
@jckreidel LOL!! That's something I would say…my butt.
@CristerDelacruz xoxo
@acraKA Right?
@John_Trader1 It makes me sad.
@ginidietrich It's the kind of sad that doesn't sit well either. Sort of like a festering wound that won't heal. Shocked by the article.
@John_Trader1 I know. 🙁
@randypitler And gets away with it. Sigh.
@vedo I was thinking about you while I rode my bike yesterday. No clue why…you just popped into my brain
@ginidietrich well then I hope it was a good bike ride 🙂
Btw, sorry we couldn't get the DFW swing worked out for your book tour.
@vedo Nothing to apologize for! We'll get down there eventually.
@ginidietrich I'm just guessing here, but something tells me he didn't win you over as a fan with his lying stunt. I could be wrong 🙂
@delwilliams I don't know what gave you that idea!
@HowieSPM I don't know that jail time can be instituted, can it? He's not breaking any laws. He's just deceiving the public.
@ginidietrich @HowieSPM We can put him in the Spin Sucks jail.
@Erin F. Oh he'd be there if I had that kind of power.
@ginidietrich I'm putting him in the Write Right jail. Maybe I should draw a cartoon of it.
@Erin F. You should!
@ginidietrich Maybe after I draw my cartoon for August. That one takes precedence.
@Erin F. @ginidietrich we should deport him to Canada! Make him stay with @belllindsay
@HowieSPM @Erin F. @ginidietrich @belllindsay Somehow the word deport and Canada don't go together. Maybe Australia or something. The Great White North has enough liars as it stands.
@HowieSPM @Erin F. @ginidietrich HAHA! That's a pretty harsh sentence! Just ask my husband! 😀
@belllindsay @HowieSPM @Erin F. @ginidietrich @rdopping Whoa there, as a Canadian who spend quite a bit of time in Aus, you keep your creeps to yourself, thank you very much!
@ginidietrich wow, that story is wild!
@pouchee Crazy, huh?
I don't think media manipulation is anything new. You used the example of Andrew Breitbart, but there are just as many manipulators on the left. Politicians have been using the media to delive its message like their own private PR firm for a long time. I would even venture to say that the media has become its own manipulator, attempting and, in many cases, succeeding to get the general public to believe a certain political or consumer message. I think we must all trust but verify. Hard to do in the 24/7 news cycle and hyper-competitive media industry!
@CesLSU I love you, but does everything have to be politically generated? We don't talk politics here! I used Breitbart, not because of his political views, but because he had a quote that was usable in making my case.

"The Second Road was more brutal
then the opening road, more trying.
The giant coliseum of chains and steel
is unforgiving of mistakes and arrogance.
If the Devil's Playground had a throne,
Shaitan's Playpen would be the heir."
SmackDown's Elimination Chamber match as been the subject of controversy for a number of reasons.
Two men, Mark Henry and Randy Orton, were taken out of the match for different reasons.
Henry was written off TV to deal with injuries sustained over the past few months. After laying his hands on SmackDown general manager Teddy Long, he was suspended indefinitely. Orton was written off TV for a while thanks to a concussion sustained at the hands of Daniel Bryan. He'll be off TV for a few weeks.
There is some contention as to whether Orton's injury is legitimate or not. Regardless, the most important thing is he won't be in Elimination Chamber match for SmackDown.
The replacements for the men were a little surprising, but we'll get to that.

Matchbox Twenty keeps the customer satisfied
Rob Thomas made a promise early in Matchbox Twenty's Milwaukee set Saturday, to give the audience "the best tonight you could possibly have."
But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(6)

10Best Santa Barbara Wineries and Tasting Rooms
By Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert
There are two big reasons that people travel to Santa Barbara.
1. College: Santa Barbara is home to a dozen or so colleges and universities within its glorious borders, contributing to a nonstop influx of very smart people.
2. Wine: Santa Barbara County boasts more than 100 area wineries, contributing to a nonstop influx of very smart people with excellent taste.
(OK, we'll admit it, there's probably a third big reason: the beach. But if you're reading this, we're betting your idea of traveling involves a little more than sunbathing. Not that it's a bad way to spend part of your vacation.)
So assuming you're of legal drinking age and not in school at this very moment, let's take a tour of the 10 best places to taste the amazing array of wines that come from our prized Central Coast grapes.
If you're in the mood for a road trip, you simply MUST travel the notoriously winding – but very scenic – State Route 154 to Los Olivos. This wine-centric small town has many tasting rooms within a short walk of each other. You should taste the robust blends at Kaena and visit Alta Maria for very expressive, very reasonably priced reds.
Your other option is to explore Santa Barbara's Urban Wine Trail. This consists of an assortment of tasting rooms, most within walking or biking distance of an area known as the Funk Zone. Municipal Winemakers is probably the most fun and funky of them all, making it a great place to meet (or make) friends.
Corks n' Crowns
Corks n' Crowns is a fun tasting room and wine and craft beer club on the Urban Wine Trail in the Santa Barbara Funk Zone. They offer tastings that represent wines by different makers collected around a theme. The wines and beers they pour change monthly. You can enjoy a tasting, have a glass or buy a bottle (free corkage!) and enjoy it on their open-air patio just a block from the ocean. Stop in during happy hour for great deals on fine wine and beer any Monday through Wednesday from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Free but hard to find parking all around. Many other wineries within walking distance, as well as some great restaurants. (805-845-8600)
Sanguis Wines
This winery and tasting room near Santa Barbara's Eastside is hard to find, just like treasure should be. Tucked away in an industrial part of town, step inside this modern facility to be blown away by flavors cultivated at a variety of local vineyards. The high end tasting room is well-appointed and by appointment only. Absolutely no walk-ins allowed! If you're lucky, your visit will be paired with a tour of the wine preparation and storage areas. Sanguis wines pair excellently with food, making them a wonderful souvenir to bring home now and enjoy with a great meal and good company in the future. (805-845-0920)
Municipal Winemakers
Municipal Winemakers is the brainchild of Dave Potter, a well-traveled winemaker who also produces wine for one of the area's largest commercial vineyards. Potter's efforts for Municipal are more intimate, producing 600 or so cases of wine a year, with the goal of making bottles that are both delicious and easily guzzled. Wines you'll want to bring to your friends' houses and buy by the case to serve at parties. Visit Municipal's lively tasting room in the Funk Zone for an enjoyable wine tasting experience you won't soon forget. And don't forget to visit their sister site, Potek winery, for wines you'll want to cellar and drink on special occasions. ((805) 931-6864)
Rusack Vineyards
Rusack Vineyards is best known for their red wines, especially Pinot Noir and Syrah. Being on the smaller side for a vineyard (situated on about 48 acres) Rusack crafts their wines using both estate grapes and locally sourced varietals from some of the best vineyards in the area. Visit their website for detailed tasting and crafting notes, including the origin of the grapes and fermenting process. This beautiful, rose-bordered winery has a large outdoor picnic area, but you should call ahead to reserve space for parties of 10 or more. They also have cheese and crackers for sale in the tasting room - in the event of a more impromptu picnic! ((805)688-1278)
Demetria Estate
The Demetria Estate is hands down the prettiest place to taste wine in Santa Barbara County, and the fact that their wine is delicious certainly doesn't hurt matters. Call ahead to make a tasting reservation. At the appointed time, you will drive a little ways past Los Olivos, enter a secret passcode at a large gate, and then drive another little ways on a narrow lane through some of the most marvelous countryside in the area. You will see goats, maybe hawks, maybe deer. And then, oh then, you will pull up to a large estate, be seated on a sunny courtyard, and enjoy some very fine sips of rosé, Pinot Noir and Syrah, among others. ((805)686-2345)
Kaena Wine Co
Los Olivos may be inland, but that doesn't mean that the mindset of every tasting room is! For some great wine with a hint of, well, Hawaii, seek out Kaena's tasting room. Does this mean there sell wines with hints of pina colada? Heavens no. Instead founder Michael Sigouin, a native Hawaiian, creates delicious wines - many of them blends - using only Santa Barbara County fruit and gives them Hawaiian names like 'Hapa' and 'Hale.' Sigouin endeavors to keep his wines as natural as possible; this means native yeast, no enzymes and no ML bacteria. Try their Grenache Rose for a refreshing treat. Open daily from 11ish a.m. - 5ish p.m. (island time). ((805) 888-4069)
Alta Maria Vineyards
Formed as the result of a longstanding friendship between viticulturist James Ontiveros and winemaker Paul Wilkins, Alta Maria produces small batches of wine using the area's finest grapes. Expressive bottles include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have repeatedly been ranked above 90 points by various wine critics. Prices are reasonable, and you will be tempted to take home a bottle or two - perhaps even join their rapidly-growing wine club. We recommend you do while they're still taking new members... this winery is one to watch. If you're planning to buy a bottle or more during your trip to Los Olivos, make sure at least one comes from Alta Maria. ((805)6868-1144)
Jaffurs Wine Cellars
Jaffurs Wine Cellars focuses on Rhone-style varietals like Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Viognier and Roussanne. Production is limited, resulting in about 3,500 cases a year. Grapes are sourced from vineyards in Santa Rita, Santa Ynez, Los Alamos and Santa Maria. Then they are crushed, pressed, cellared and bottled right in this very location. A tasting fee of $10 lets you sample current offerings. As this location functions as both a working winery and small tasting room, please call ahead for groups of 6 or more. Free street parking out front. Located not far from bustling Milpas Street and a short drive from the Funk Zone. ((805) 962-7003)
Whitcraft Winery
Hard to spot but great to find, Whitcraft Winery is a small tasting room and winery tucked away behind Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. Established by Chris Whitcraft in 1985, Whitcraft Winery produces wines that are a testament to the whims of Mother nature, each vintage celebrated for its unique characteristics. Grapes are hand picked, hand sorted, foot stomped (or lightly pressed), hand bottled and hand labeled, limiting their production to less than 2,000 cases a year. Now helmed by second-generation winemaker Drake Whitcraft, this winery is best known for Burgundian-style Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays; other offerings include French and Italian varietals sourced from the Central Coast area. ((805) 730-1680)
Foxen Vineyard
Foxen Vineyards produces highly coveted, sustainably farmed wines that inspire people to take very long journeys on winding roads just for a sip or two. And then, after that first taste, many of those same people will put themselves on a waiting list to become Foxen wine club members so that they can gain access to extremely rare bottles of wine and subsequently brag about them to their friends. Be advised that this winery actually claims two tasting rooms on the same road. The original tasting room, Foxen 7200, tastes Bordeaux and Cal-Ital style wines. Their more recent, solar-powered tasting room (located at 7600 Foxen Canyon Rd.) tastes Pinot Noirs and Rhone-style wines. (805-937-4251)
About Geneva Ives
Geneva Ives moved to Santa Barbara in 2000 on a whim (ok, and to go to college) and never looked back. She loves Santa Barbara because it's really one of America's greatest small towns - it just happens to have glorious beaches and celebrity residents, too! Geneva spent a decade managing an adorable, locally owned boutique in downtown Santa Barbara and met her husband when he was working as a waiter at the Cajun restaurant right next door. Together they go on many adventures trying to find the best activities, drinks and dining experiences in the tri-county area.

Henry Sims hopes he has found a home with the 76ers.
"I feel like I'm playing well here," Sims said. "I'm getting along with the coaching staff. I enjoy the fans. Even though we are in a tough spot right now, every game the fans are there supporting us.
"So I wouldn't have a problem coming to Philly right now."
It's likely the Sixers are seriously considering granting the 6-foot-10, 248-pounder his wish.
The center brings a toughness and grit the franchise will need.
"There's a swagger in him," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "He's got a low center of gravity, a little bit like Lavoy [Allen] presented for us, which was different than Spencer [Hawes].

Hall of Fame: The mere words elicit images of grandstanding champions dominating their respective sports.
Through any and all means, each athlete worthy of such honorable mention must have broken records in a manner iconic of his or her sport. Definitive and declarative, entry into this upper echelon ought to be beyond argument.
Or so it should be.
Yet the UFC Hall of Fame is often discussed for all the wrong reasons. Debates and disagreements are sparked when certain UFC veterans are mentioned—in some cases the concern is over those who have not received their just recognition, whereas in others, the commotion revolves around names that have received far too much of it.
What specific accomplishments does a fighter need to gain entry? Championships in multiple weight classes? An undisclosed number of consecutive victories? Philanthropic efforts to promote the sport both inside the cage and out of it?
It's unlikely that we'll pacify all involved by continuing to induct fighters without an open standard. On the contrary, the UFC brass need to outline a firm set of criteria for induction into the Hall of Fame.
There are plenty of reasons that could make the list, but let's examine the most crucial ones.

Small Tuna and Broccoli Crust-Less Quiche
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
I threw this together for lunch today, I'm doing a low carb diet right now and thought a quiche would be a nice change from a salad type lunch. I didn't specify what kind of cheese to use but please do not use a mild cheese like mozzarella or a mild cheddar because it will not have enough flavor for the quiche. I used goat cheese that had been immersed in wine, but an extra sharp cheddar, gruyere, or swiss would work really well. ***You will need a 6-inch pie plate for this recipe, you can POSSIBLY use a normal size pie plate if you double the recipe, but proceed with that at your own risk.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, raw
- 1 (5 ounce) can tuna in water
- 2 ounces cheese, shredded
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1⁄2 cup cream
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3⁄4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- salt and pepper
- nutmeg, grated to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease well a 6 inch pie plate.
- Boil the broccoli in salted water for 2 minutes; drain and set aside. Drain tuna from can and pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl toss together the cooked broccoli, tuna, garlic, green onions, and cheese. Pour the broccoli and tuna mixture into the pie plate and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the egg and cream. Whisk in dry mustard, marjoram, salt and pepper. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the broccoli mixture disturbing the egg mixture evenly. Sprinkle grated nutmeg over quiche.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then let cool at room temp for about 15 minutes before serving.
Most Helpful
Made this and was very good. Extra sharp cheddar cheese would be better to use I think--more flavor, but I liked it alot. Will make again. :) 12-27-14
This made a super quick and delicious dinner. The broccoli was washed and placed in a small microwave dish. It was microwaved until crisp tender then a knife was run through it to roughly chop it. The tuna was a 7 oz can. It is not only good for a low carb meal but it is perfect for a gluten free as well. Made for PAC Spring 2011.

SAN DIEGO - Delmon Young spent his off day in court before the Phillies traveled west. He pleaded guilty last Thursday to a harassment violation, which erased an anti-Semitic incident in New York from his criminal record. He reached that deal through 10 hours of community service and sensitivity training.
Young was ordered to pay a $120 fee, a sum he can probably afford. The Phillies owe him at least $1.1 million in 2013, and that figure stands to increase so long as Young remains on the active roster and in Charlie Manuel's lineup.
The results have not yet materialized.

The old joke among junk-food addicts is that Twinkies never expire. But the same might not be true of Hostess Brands Inc., maker of the iconic American snack.
Hostess said Thursday that the company could be forced to file a motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court today to begin liquidating the company and start laying off 18,000 workers nationwide. Hostess has 187 workers in Connecticut, including 38 at facilities in Uncasville and Norwich.
Representatives of Hostess, based in Irving, Texas, said they expect to announce today whether the company has been able to negotiate with strikers to avoid a shutdown. Striking workers had until 5 p.m. Thursday to return to work, they said, and allow the company to resume normal operations.
The company, which makes Ho Hos, Suzy Q's, Donettes, Wonder Bread and Ding Dongs, among other products, filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification this week in Connecticut, saying that a strike by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union had crippled production at plants in Cincinnati, Seattle and St. Louis.
"We simply do not have the financial resources to survive an ongoing national strike," said Gregory F. Rayburn, the company's chairman and chief executive, in a statement.
Hostess doesn't bake any of its products in Connecticut, but it has sites in East Windsor, Cheshire and Bridgeport, along with the Uncasville distribution center and Norwich retail store. The company, which dates to the 1930s, also makes and distributes Dolly Madison, Drake's and Nature's Pride products.
Hostess, which has been battling financial problems tied to high costs and declining sales, emerged from a previous bankruptcy under the name Interstate Bakeries just three years ago. Many of its competitors do not have union employees, and the company has been fighting a market trend that has cut American's consumption of white bread and calorie-laden snacks.
Jeff Parlato, vice president of human resources and labor relations for Hostess, said in a letter to the state Labor Department that other unions had ratified modified collective bargaining agreements to help the company successfully emerge from bankruptcy.
But the bakery workers union did not ratify a new agreement, he said, instead launching strikes that would, if they continued, make it impossible to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a viable company.
Hostess said it would be deciding overnight whether to request a hearing Monday on its possible bankruptcy court motion to begin liquidating the company. If a judge grants the motion, Hostess would begin closing all its operations Tuesday, leading to termination notices for nearly all the company's employees, except for small crews needed to secure facilities and prepare them for sale.
"It is now up to (the bakery workers union) to decide if they want to call off the strike and save this company, or cause massive financial harm to thousands of employees and their families," Rayburn, the Hostess CEO, said in a statement.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Cook the Superstar Sabotage Contest: Banana Breadby Maria Russo in Recipes, October 30th, 2014
In this week's latest installment of Cutthroat Kitchen: Superstar Sabotage, a seemingly approachable dessert, banana bread, was nearly insurmountable for Pastry Chef Elizabeth Falkner once she felt the full weight of her duo of sabotages: firm green bananas and the mandate to mix and cook the loaf in banana leaves. But for fans watching at home, classic banana bread is indeed doable, and it's one such recipe that surely all home cooks can — and should — master.
From school bake sales and simple family desserts to DIY holiday presents, Food Network's go-to Banana Bread recipe (pictured above) will prove useful time and again. The key to making this tried-and-true recipe is not overworking the batter; once you've incorporated the dry ingredients into the cinnamon-laced mashed bananas, the batter is complete and ready to bake. For an extra-special presentation, serve the sliced loaf with sweet honey or creamy vanilla ice cream once the bread has cooled.

We have to capitalize every week. We let that one slip away from us. We're approaching it the same way. That's our job as players. We have to stay focused so we don't have any slip ups.

They've been the champion numerous times. They're a great program and we respect them a lot because of it.

Carolyn Manno reports the Celtics' bench crew showed signs of life in the loss to the Wizards on Monday.
Thomas excited for reunion with Green
Thomas excited for reunion with Green
WALTHAM, Mass. -- When the phone rang this summer, Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas had to do a double-take when he saw the name on the caller ID.
It was Gerald Green, his ex-teammate in Phoenix.
Although they only shared a locker room for 45 games in Phoenix, the two became quick friends.
On the court they developed instant chemistry while coming off the Suns bench. And that bond spilled off the court as Green would later spend time with Thomas in the Seattle-Tacoma, Wash. area in the summer months.
They were cool with each other, cool enough to where Thomas knew it wasn't in Green's nature to pick up the phone and call just to say hi.
"Gerald doesn't call anybody," Thomas said. "When he called I knew something was up."
Green said Boston, the team that drafted him in 2006 straight out of high school, was interested in bringing him back for a second stint with the club.
"I tried to put my two cents in and he got here," Thomas said.
There were several factors that led Green back to Boston, with a chance to reunite with Thomas being high on that list.
Green, already in Phoenix at the time the Suns signed Thomas in 2014, was impressed with the way the 5-9 guard carried himself.
"He was a genuine guy, came in really humble," Green said. "I saw the talent was there. I knew he had the potential to be one of the best point guards in this league."
Thomas certainly made a case for such lofty praise with how he performed last season, good enough to earn his first all-star selection.
What really stuck out to Green was that Thomas' mentality and approach to the game was almost a carbon copy of his own.
"When we stepped on the court we had the same mentality," Green said. "By any means necessary, get a bucket and play harder than the next team; just try and push the first team, make the first team better every day."
Thomas was coming off the bench, showing lots of potential and promise that he could carry a heavier load if given an opportunity to do so.
He averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25.7 minutes off the Suns bench in 46 games. Even more significant was that when Thomas did play for the Suns, they were 26-20.
In the games without him, they were just 13-23.
Green was admittedly disappointed they traded away Thomas, believing that season would have had a very different outcome had they not sent him to Boston.
And just like Green recognized Thomas' skills and how much his team could have benefited from keeping him around, Thomas speaks in glowing terms about Green and what his return to Boston means for the team.
"We needed someone like him; a guy that could shoot the ball, a guy that could space the floor; instant scorer whether he starts or comes off the bench," Thomas said. "Where the he starts or come off the bench. He's going to really help us."
Horford, Johnson wasting no time in developing chemistry
Horford, Johnson wasting no time in developing chemistry
WALTHAM, Mass. – When the news came out that Al Horford was going to be a Boston Celtic, Amir Johnson couldn't wait to meet his new teammate.
He didn't have to.
Johnson soon found himself on plane headed to Atlanta to not only work out with Horford, but also try and work out some of the kinks that tend to come up among new teammates in those early days of training camp.
"I took it upon myself when I saw Al was part of the team, I automatically wanted to go down to Atlanta and work," said Johnson who added that he brought his daughter along for the trip and they went to dinner with Horford's family during the visit. "I thought it was great just to get that chemistry going. I just wanted to get to known him, make him feel comfortable."
It's still early in training camp, but Johnson and Horford seem to be meshing quite well on the floor.
"The chemistry's definitely coming along," Johnson said. "I know when Al wants to roll or pop, and just working my way around it. Al's more of a popper and eventually he'll roll. It's up to me to read whether I stay up or work the baseline."
Johnson has been in the NBA long enough to know that often the keys to success are subtle nuances that may be overlooked by fans and spectators, but players know are essential to them being successful.
Being able to not only understand a player's game but figure out how to play well with them, are critical to teammates being successful.
Last season, Johnson was Boston's primary rim-protecting big man which is a role the 29-year-old Johnson has been cast in the last few years he was in Toronto. Horford brings a similar set of defensive skills to the table which gives Boston a true 1-2 defensive punch along the frontline.
"It's big time," Johnson said. "We communicate to each other. It's all about communication out there; just knowing he can hold it down and he trusts me to hold it down. It's key."
Gerald Green is expected to get a few more days to rest his hip flexor injury which he said on Thursday was feeling better.
The injury should keep the 6-6 wing from participating in the team's Green-White scrimmage on Friday, but it isn't considered serious.
Still, Green is eager to get back and return to full contact work which is why he is getting a steady diet of treatments during the day and returning in the evening for more treatments from the Celtics' medical staff.
"It's almost like a precautionary thing; make sure it doesn't get worst," Green said.
The injury occurred earlier this week but Green could not pinpoint exactly what he did to suffer the injury.
"I don't think I stretched properly," Green said. "I'm not 25 no more. Just try to come out there and go at full speed. Those are things I've got to learn now I'm in my 30s."
Indeed, one of the many benefits of being older now is that Green sees the big picture of things better now, which is why he isn't trying to rush back to the floor too quickly.
As a veteran, it's a long season," Green said. "You're not trying to do too much to make it worst. Training camp is important, but being healthy at the beginning of the season is even more important."
Near the end of Thursday's practice, the Celtics had a full court game of 3-on-3 involving some of the team's rookies and end-of-the-bench training camp invitees like Jalen Jones of Texas A&M. The 6-7 undrafted rookie had a dunk over Jordan Mickey, a 3-pointer and another strong, uncontested flush at the rim in a matter of minutes. He's likely to wind up with Boston's Developmental League team, the Maine Red Claws.
With Thursday morning's session being the team's fifth practice this season, head coach Brad Stevens thought it was a good idea to get some of the team's younger players on the court.
"It was good to play some 3-on-3," said Stevens who added that it was good for their conditioning since a lot of the running at this point involves trying to get the starters and the likely rotation players as acclimated and familiar with one another as possible. "We try to do that occasionally even through the season just to get everybody up and down."
Five practices in the books and there's only one thing that really has stood out to the eyes of Isaiah Thomas.
It's turnovers.
Apparently the Celtics haven't committed too many thus far.
"We haven't turned the ball over as much as teams usually do the first couple of days," Thomas said. "We're trying to learn the system, trying to get everybody familiar with what we do. But we've been playing well together. Guys are playing hard. Guys have gotten better, worked on their game."
Ball-handling will be one of the areas to watch during the preseason as the Celtics look to find a replacement for Evan Turner (Portland) who has been one of the team's best ball-handlers the past couple of seasons.
The Celtics were middle-of-the-pack last season with 13.5 turnovers per game which ranked 14th in the NBA.
Low turnovers often serve as a common trait among playoff teams. Just last season, eight of the top-nine teams in fewest turnovers committed, were in the playoffs.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
It has been a year since a tragic earthquake left Haiti devastated and killed more than 300,000 people. Despite more than $1.4 billion in relief aid donated, little progress can be seen in the country and people are asking: Where'd the money go
PORT-AU-PRINCE—Last January, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their lives and millions lost their homes in an earthquake that flattened much of the capital. A year later, Haitians appear to have lost something else: hope.
The impoverished Caribbean nation marks the anniversary of the Jan. 12, 2010, quake on Wednesday with little to cheer. Haiti's government, which itself was hit hard by the quake, has been incapable of responding to the crisis. Foreign aid has trickled in, and a rush of well-meaning charities have led to chaos.
Piles of rubble still clog the streets; at the current rate, it will take 20 years simply to clean up the mess. Nearly a million people still live in about 1,300 makeshift refugee camps that occupy every available parking lot and open space in the capital. With each passing day, the camps take on a more permanent look.
"We are just completely discouraged now," said Fai-na Bernadette, a 24-year-old nurse who has been living in a soccer field in Petionville, a suburb of the capital, alongside 3,000 other refugees.
Carleene Dei, director of the United States Agency for International Development told reporters in a January 7 conference call that there was a "lack of understanding" about the pace at which pledges from March's donors conference could be met, referring to the UN conference where nations pledged more than $10 billion to help Haiti rebuild itself.
"A pledge is not a check," she said. "A pledge has to be turned into legislation. Legislation has to be turned into plans. Plans have to be vetted and approved. And money has to be made available."

@SPICE- you are absoultely right.
Because it's not affecting them directly, they are not getting the ball rolling and getting things done.
This article below shows more of the BS excuses they have to why funds have not been used properly and why some progress has not been made.
It just ridiculous.

It's not the fine in itself, rather the fact that they have been found guilty. If some consumer organization decides to litigate based on this, those companies could be in for a world of hurt... and nothing they can do about it.
Well, your post should be modded down too.
1) Troll
2) Default judgement.
I still haven't read why the windows powershell is crap. Concensus seems to point in that direction, but could anybody who has considerable experience with windows power shell and any unix-like shell comment on this?
If I performed a criminal act, I can reasonably expect to be tried in the country where the crime was performed as the laws of that country were violated.
Seeing that McKinnon performed the "crime" of "breaking" (bad security is no security, therefore he did not break any security) into government computers in his home country, not inside the U.S., he needs to be put on trial in his home country.
In addition, the U.S. has shown to have completely no respect for human rights. So, he can reasonably be expected to be exposed to torture. Why would this guy be sent off to a strange country to stand "trial" for a crime he did not commit? I can imagine he'll just disappear once he enters the U.S.
...you Americans refused to pay, because it didn't convenience you.
And now, when it's nearly too late, you start to whine that you haven't got any freedoms anymore?!?!
Live with it. This is what you wanted, this is what you get. If you're willing to sacrifice someone else's freedoms, you're also sacrificing your own.
Education can't be high enough. Educate your people until they die, because uneducated people are vulnerable and easier to control.
Educated people are trained in using their brain. That is something a company doesn't want. A company wants lots and lots of zombies which do not know their rights and can't think for themselves.
Basically, what these economists are saying is good for commercial entities. But for countries or not-for-profits this mind-set is fatal. This is the way to grow a third world cheap labor country, but that's the direction the U.S. is going anyway.
Education is one of the pillars of freedom, as is privacy and the ability to speak your mind. Problem is, in the U.S. it is ok when your speech creates fear (suppresses freedom) as well as the government functioning in such a way that all three are being limited further and further.
Read your contract. What does it say about copyrights?
By the way: where are you located? If you're in the EU, chances are you own the copyrights.
In short: read up on local authors rights and copyrights. Trademark laws do not apply.
Also, do you work on this project in your own spare time? If so, chances are you can shove the GPL down the throat of your employer.
Everyone is busy with stopping piracy, but nobody takes a look at why it is happening and taking away the cause of piracy.
Ofcourse free is very cheap, you'll never be able to counter that. But people will be more likely to pay for your game when it's really cheap (say in the range of €2 to €5). Providing access to additional payment methods is also a good idea, as some people become able to pay as they don't have access to a credit card.
Game quality is also important; people want value for their money... currently they can't be certain of that, so they download the game they think is interesting first, before they even think of buying it. Once downloaded, it gets a lot more difficult to buy the game in question (the user already has it).
And then there's the famous DRM. Digital Restrictions Management. Nearly every type of DRM has it's share of problems (word choice deliberate). If it doesn't cripple your computer, the game stops working after N years, because the producer decided that you should buy the next edition of the game.
And *gasp* people do not like that. Gosh. Strange. Extra reason to download a cracked version of that game.
Money poured in DRM is also money not invested in actual quality of the product.
End result: investing in DRM is actually having an effect of increasing piracy. In addition people will be less interested in buying your products, giving you less money to invest in new games.
Nintendo is investing in piracy, so they get piracy.
Why was that oil rig even capable of collapsing into the ocean? Are these things constructed that cheaply? I'd expect these things to be filled with containment measures for when something does go wrong and if something goes wrong mechanisms should kick in to prevent a disaster like this.
But ah, yes. BP wanted to cut some corners for even more profit and so decided to bribe the U.S. government into relaxing the rules about security, safety and environmental protection.
Problem is: if an officer testifies against one of his coworkers, he gets the whole force on his neck. If he leaves the force for not agreeing with that kind of misbehavior, he gets the whole force in his neck. If he moves to another jurisdiction, he just gets that whole force in his neck.
The problem isn't corruption in itself, the problem is fear of harassment among the officers. In addition the law enforcement is above the law, which seems fine, but actually helps corruption and abuse quite a bit. The rules are 200 years behind in relation to the needs of today.
You compare the U.S. coal power production to the worldwide wind power production.

Countries like China don't care about worker safety. So yes, more accidents happen there.
This might actually affect the ecology too, as the towers provide space for coral reefs to grow. In addition remains can clutter around the pillars, which could attract more wildlife to the area.
But err... what about the wave and wind-breaking effects of the towers? What's the ecological impact of that?
And from what materials will the towers be built? How does the government intend to make sure that all the wiring needed to transport all the power is secured properly (wouldn't want to electrify the water)? Is the covering of the wiring of adequate quality?
And how about the bird population (if there's anything left)?
You apparently haven't read the article or are a complete asshole.
The biggest problem is that those wage slaves (because that's what they are) have to endure psychological torture 24/7 until they decide to flee (survive).

I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't deal with the providers in question.
Interesting detail is that these companies are mostly large monopolies, so google could simply start complaining about monopoly abuse.
And for added worries to those companies: the EU tends to respond quite allergic to monopoly abuse.
If that wasn't enough, wait until various consumer organizations learn about this. While they're basically powerless in the US, over here they can generate a world of hurt for companies.
I'd actually like them to try this, things can become really interesting over here if that happens. The net result will probably be guaranteed net neutrality by the various national laws.
Yeah, a camera really looks soooo much like an RPG.
Lets make a few things clear:
- A Rocket Propelled Grenade, is a lot larger then a camera, you can notice that clearly and I couldn't even remotely identify an RPG from the images.
- An anti-personnel machine gun is no danger to an armored assault helicopter, which is designed to be shot at.
So, putting all that in perspective I think it was a conscious choice on the part of the pilot to commit murder, he was never in any danger of bein shot at.
Noticing from his behavior I'd say he's a sociopath and should be dishonerably discharged from duty, sent of to Den Haag for war crimes and put in prison for life with forced psychiatric treatment.
Same goes for the tank driver who overrun a body (was that person even dead?)
Committing war crimes seems to be normal to the U.S. army and doing something about it appears to be completely alien to them.

Woman jailed on drug chargeFebruary 18,2013Police said a Rutland woman wanted for failing to appear at her arraignment for crack cocaine possession was in possession of crack cocaine during a traffic stop Friday night.
Shortly before midnight, police stopped Chantelle M. Dewey, 33, on Curtis Avenue after recognizing her and knowing she had an active arrest warrant for not showing up Feb. 11 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of possessing crack cocaine, narcotics and marijuana, stemming from an incident Dec. 13.
After executing a search warrant on Deweys vehicle Saturday, police allegedly found 5 grams of crack cocaine.
