Vetting Citizen Journalism
'It's an emerging craft, one that combines an eye for a good story with a flair for connecting the dots and, above all, a human touch.'
By Lila King

The conversation on the desk usually goes like this: "Wow. Did you see this iReport? Incredible."
Join the conversation on twitter using the hashtag
"Yeah, no kidding. But how are we going to vet it?"
The answer in broad strokes: It's an emerging craft, one that combines an eye for a good story with a flair for connecting the dots and, above all, a human touch.
Vetting is the heart of
, CNN's platform for citizen journalism. You won't see iReports on television or on CNN.com (outside the special iReport section, that is) before they've been fact checked and cleared.
The vetting process is rigorous and sometimes time-consuming. It usually starts with a phone call, most often from the iReport desk in Atlanta, where eight full-time producers tab through hundreds of incoming photos and videos every day, looking for the ones we think will make an impact.
At iReport we use a variety of tools: CNN-ers in the field, subject-matter experts, affiliate networks, and local media. We cross-
check what we learn from citizen journalists with other social media reports.
About 8 percent of contributions are selected for vetting, a process that also alerts TV and digital producers there will likely be an element ready to go later in the day. Vetted iReports often turn into interview segments on air or quotes in stories you read online.
One morning in January, for example, iReport producer Christina Zdanowicz hit the desk to find scores of new photos and videos showing protests over increased fuel prices in Nigeria. Often when similar stories pile up on iReport, they're connected to a news event CNN is already on top of, like a natural disaster or a big political rally. The Nigerian iReports took us a bit by surprise—CNN was not yet reporting this so iReport was asked to sketch out the story.
Verifying Reports
One important contribution was
a video showing a protest
in the streets of Ibadan, Nigeria, earlier that morning. To investigate the authenticity of the clip, Zdanowicz reached out to the Ibadan iReporter, a 24-year-old pharmacist named
Boma Tai
. He described when and where and why the protest was happening and who was participating.
All good and useful detail, but there was a catch: He wasn't just observing, he was participating, and he shared footage of the event because he wanted "the world to know in raw and unedited terms what is going on in Nigeria … the poor are suffering!" So we decided to see what other context we could find to fill out the story.
Most of the video we see of protests and similar news events is like the Ibadan clip: it comes from someone in the heart of the story, with a very subjective view of events. No surprise, of course, because iReport and most social media platforms are built for sharing the moments of your life.
At CNN we see it as our responsibility to add context and analysis to what we use from iReport and other social media platforms. That's why with
the Nigeria protest
, the iReport team continued to make calls all morning to iReport contributors who'd seen similar protests in Lagos and Abuja and Benin City.
Then we worked with a reporter at CNN International who connected the details we'd researched with comments from the local police, the office of President Goodluck Jonathan, and the economic and historic context of fuel price subsidies in Nigeria. Together, the citizen journalism, our research, and the reporter's contributions formed
a comprehensive story
that provided images and video of the protests as well as news analysis explaining the context and why this was happening.
In a number of ways, the Nigerian protest story is a simple example. After talking to dozens of people about the same events, it wasn't a huge leap to say that we believed they had happened, even though CNN didn't have a reporter on the ground to witness them.
The challenge was different when a teenage girl
posted a video on iReport showing her being bullied
. We verified it the old-fashioned way—by talking with her family and school officials and tracking down police reports.
And when a South Carolina woman started posting biting—and popular—
webcam commentaries
about the 2012 Republican presidential primary race, the vetting process wasn't so much about getting inside her head and verifying whether she really thinks the things she said. It was more about figuring out who she is and how she got to the point of posting videos of her commentary and saying that plainly and clearly to our audience.
At iReport we use a variety of tools: CNN-ers in the field, subject-matter experts, affiliate networks, and local media. We cross-check what we learn from citizen journalists with other social media reports.
We also use technology, which can't prove if a story is reliable but offers helpful clues. For example, we often check photo metadata to find timestamps and sometimes location data about the source photo or ask a photographer to share the previous or next 10 images from her camera. We also occasionally send an image through a service like
to help determine whether it shows signs of alteration.
That's the journalism part—figuring out what you need to add to a video or photo that you find on the Internet to make sense of it and to help someone else understand why it matters.
Building Community
But there is also the community part: Vetted iReports are a giant Rolodex of stories and people to follow up on. This March when the world marked the first anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, CNN asked the iReporters who had shared footage of that event for updates on how they were faring.
The result
is as tender a portrait as you'll read in an anniversary piece.
More than offering immediate firsthand glimpses of breaking news, the community we are building may be the real secret behind iReport's success. Our platform provides an open door to participating in the news to almost anyone who cares to enter, and a growing number of people from all over the world are doing just that; as of May 2012, there were more than one million registered iReporters.
CNN's iReport invited viewers to submit questions for first lady Michelle Obama.
Outside of vetting, the iReport team in Atlanta spends the majority of its time dreaming up ways to invite that community—both existing and future members—to take part in what CNN is doing. For example, we've come up with new models, such as a recent
community-driven interview with first lady Michelle Obama
a mash-up video of footage shot by people in various cities and countries on a single day in March
We discovered early on that it wasn't enough to wait for news to break and hope people might think to contribute (and set off the vetting process). iReport today is a highly collaborative effort among professional journalists, eyewitnesses and passionate participants to tell the full breadth of news stories as they unfold and to reinvent the process together as we go.

Going in reverse may not always have a positive connotation. With Verso skincare, though, reverse is two-fold: turning back time for younger looking skin and looking underneath the surface for real, long-lasting improvements.
The Swedish brand is not afraid to be put under the microscope, and you won't be either after heightening your production of collagen and hyaluronic acid with Verso's Retinol 8 formulas. The products are pure and proven. Cher may never have been able to master it, but after following Verso's numbered system (from day to night), you could turn back time on your skin.
I tried it every other day for a few weeks, but I think my skin was too sensitive for Retinol. B-glowing shipped it quickly, though!

Fireworks can be dangerous for children and pets if not used properly. When using fireworks you need to be aware of the potential problems and plan accordingly.
You don't want any special occasion to be ruined because of an injury or serious accident.
The first issue is the sound. Fireworks explosives can be noisy which is part of their appeal. But not to a small child. Some babies and toddlers are absolutely terrified of loud sounds. Don't think that by making them listen to them they'll "get over it". If you're children are scared of loud noises then save the fireworks until they're older when they can enjoy them.
You can't explain to your pets what fireworks are and why they shouldn't be scared. To them they are just extremely loud noises that hurt their ears. Keep your pets safely inside your house while fireworks are being used. If you're pet is extremely sensitive or nervous you might want to keep him in his crate and in a closed room. The further away from the noise they are the safer they'll feel. Plus, their crate is a safe, secure place where they comfortable.
There are several ways to make sure you use fireworks only is a safe and sensible way.
The first thing to do is only buy your fireworks from reputable companies. This means a company that's been in business for several years and has a reputation to maintain. A fly by night company may be buying cheap, poorly manufactured products. No matter how many precautions you take, you can't prevent potential problems when you're using shoddy products.
The next thing to remember is to always read and follow the directions on the fireworks. This is a hard rule to follow. Everyone assumes they already know what they're doing and they're excited to try the fireworks out. But for the sake of safety always take the time to read and follow all the directions on the products. Make sure your teenagers are aware of this rule, also.
Try to buy your fireworks in advance. This will give you more time to read the directions and plan where and when you'll use your products. If you wait until the last minute to pick up your fireworks your family will be anxious to use them and won't want to wait around while you study the instructions. Plus, you'll end up buying the leftover products that no one else wanted instead of having your choice of fireworks.
After you've purchased your fireworks store them a cool dry place. Don't keep them in the trunk of your car.
Here are a few other safety rules for using your fireworks safely:
By following a few simple precautions you can assure your children and pets are kept safe this July 4th.

HAVING AN ACUTE SENSE OF SMELL is an integral component to being a wine professional. But could the human nose be on the way out? A group of Swedish and Spanish engineers have invented an "electronic nose" capable of detecting fruit aromas more effectively than a human. Using its 32 sensors, the device, which the researchers claim is more sensitive than a human nose, can currently only distinguish between the odors emitted by chopped apples and pears. "The fruit samples are placed in a chamber into which an air flow is injected that reaches the tower with the sensors, which are metal oxide semiconductors that detect odorous compounds such as methane or butane," said researcher José Pelegrí Sebastiá. Software is then used to gather real time data and the information is processed through classification algorithms. The results can be viewed on a 3D graph that distinguishes between the apple scores and the pear scores.
The study, published in the journal SENSORS AND ACTUATORS A, is the starting point for research the team is involved in to develop multisensory systems that increase the capacity to differentiate complex mixtures of volatile substances. Sebastiá believes the technology could one day be used in the wine industry to distinguish between grape varieties and recognize a wine's vintage. However, the news has naturally been met with skepticism from winemakers. "The human nose is amazingly sensitive and can detect whether or not something smells good; I'm not sure how you could program a computer to do that," Daniel Baron, chief winemaker at Silver Oak Cellars in the Napa Valley, said. He did concede however, that the electronic nose might come in useful when winemakers lose their sense of smell through a head cold. "If I get a cold in January all work stops. Maybe with a mechanical nose I wouldn't have to worry about it," he said.

Peru wins tourney with 5 individual champs
COLCHESTER, Vt. — The Peru wrestling team crowned five individual champions on Saturday and took first place in the Bob Benoure Invitational, hosted by Colchester High School.
Saranac also competed in the event and finished in third place while capturing two weight classes.
The Indians ended up with 245 points in the 18-team field. Massena placed second with 182, followed by Saranac with 169, Champlain Valley Union with 101.5 and Essex with 94.5 to round out the top five.
Nick Forget (126), Noah Phillips (145), Caleb Feazelle (152), Troy Seymour (170) and Dustin Neyer (182) won their weight classes for Peru.
Forget recorded a 6-4 victory over Saranac's Rafael Rivera in the finals, Phillips a 6-2 decision over Franklin Academy's Jamiel Stapleton and Feazelle a 16-10 win over Massena's Hunter Perrine. Seymour won by pin in 1:29 over Harwood's Kaegen Pearsall, and Neyer earned a 7-4 decision over Mount Mansfield Union's Sean O'Connor.
"Caleb and Dustin won their first varsity tournaments," Peru co-coach Mike Hogan said. "I was especially happy for them.
"Troy won his 199th varsity match and he will be going for No. 200 on Wednesday when we wrestle Saranac. He was also chosen at the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler and for the Least Time on the Mat Award."
Finishing first for the Chiefs were John Devins (99) and Austin LaTulip (132). Devins recorded a 12-6 win over Peru's Brandon Goddeau in the finals, and LaTulip was a 6-0 winner over Milton's Dylan Homsted.
"Devins was 3-0 on the day and wrestled great," Saranac coach Heath Smith said. "He had lost to Goddeau the first two times they wrestled this year.
"And LaTulip did a great job while going 4-0. We wrestled well as a team."
Four Peru matmen lost in the finals.
In addition to Goddeau's setback to Devins, Kyler Agoney dropped a close 4-3 decision to Spaulding's Brandon Tyson, Jordan Bushey a tough 9-8 decision to Massena's Isaiah Perry at 138, and Luke McKee an 8-0 loss to Harwood's Kyle Streeter at 220.
Also placing for Peru were Colin Hogan third at 106, Ethan Feazelle third at 120, Tanner Phillips fourth at 132 and Shane Varin third at 145.
"We had nine in the finals and wrestled pretty well," Hogan said. "We lost some close matches and won some close ones.
"This was our first tournament in Vermont this year, and we weren't used to the officiating. We learned a couple of lessons the hard way."
In addition to Rivera's runner-up finish, other Saranac place-winners included Codie Gillette with a third at 138, James Black third at 152, Shawn LaGrave fourth at 106 and Paul Herrera fourth at 220.

Lawmakers at the state Capitol could debate an expansion of gun rights. The sponsor of a bill involving guns and school security introduced his measure as the General Assembly went into session this week.State Rep. Paul Battles (R-Cartersville) says he has received extensive support in the Georgia House for his bill allowing school administrators to have concealed guns in schools, at school functions and on school buses."This is not a gun bill. This is not a Second Amendment right bill. What this is a school safety bill," Battles said. He emphasizes that the decision to arm administrators would be left to local school boards and would involve training and certification."What we wanted to do is we wanted to have a line or another level of security in schools that presently does not have a security officer in them," Battles said.Democratic lawmakers argue allowing guns in school would increase danger and not security. Democrats, including House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, will call for an increased focus on gun safety issues. "We need to look at mental illness. We need to look at 'Stand Your Ground' laws. We need to make certain that we are protecting every member of society without infringing upon Second Amendment," Abrams said.
Democrats said that there should be increased importance placed on background checks ."If we are concerned about the mentally unstable, and if we are concerned about criminals getting their hands on guns we have to do something about the background check," said state Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta).Two years ago, state lawmakers increased the number of areas where gun owners with permits could carry their weapons, but guns are still not allowed in churches and schools.Other bills have been filed in this year's legislative session to remove many of those restrictions. One of the bills introduced at the state capitol would allow students with permits to carry concealed guns on college campuses.
Republicans have big majorities in the state House and Senate, but it's unclear whether legislative leaders will allow the gun bills to move forward this year.

Dominion Meadows Golf Course is open for the 2012 season, according to DM Pro, Andy Hite.
The course is open on 16 of 18 greens. The two greens that have temporaries at this juncture are numbers seven and eight.
"They are just both really wet at this point," Hite said on Monday. "The greens are looking really good for this early."
Hite said that local high school golf teams from Kettle Falls and Colville High were out playing on Monday afternoon and "really happy to be out there."
Until the course is open on all 18 holes, the price of golf at DM is $1 a hole, Hite said.

From birth, William "Bill" Vanis Bacon lived the cowboy life. One of nine children, he was born in Oklahoma, July 25, 1925, to Willy Alonza and Atoka (Harris) Bacon, and passed away in Colville on Sunday March 11, 2012. The 1920s and 1930s were hard times in our country and, after ranching in Oklahoma dried up, the kids were loaded into the back of a flatbed truck and they headed West, eventually settling on a ranch in Ellensburg by the mid-1930s.

For those who haven't had their pets updated on rabies vaccinations, or who have just skipped the shots entirely, now is the time to think about scheduling that appointment with the veterinarian.
Handed down from the Washington State Board of Health last year, WAC 246-100-197 requires pet owners of dogs, cats and ferrets to receive up-to-date rabies vaccinations beginning Jan.1, 2012.

Questions & Answers
Humanscale Diffrient World Office Chair
Very comfortable office chair
Eric from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
I am very happy with the comfort and price of this office chair! It'a definitely going to make working from home much easier.
Anonymous from Colorado
Knowing that a truly ergonomic chair could make more of a difference to user health than most any other product, Humanscale entered the task seating market in 1999 with the Freedom chair, which has won 10 design awards to-date - including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition. The Freedom chair has revolutionized the task chair industry and has set new standards for task chair performance and functionality. Because of its honest design aesthetic, Freedom has also been seen in dozens of feature films and is a regular in prime-time, being featured on hit television shows such as 24, CSI Miami and Boston Legal.
In 2004, Humanscale launched its extremely popular Liberty chair line. With its patent-pending Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, the Liberty chair takes the benefits of mesh seating – breathability, durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal – to the next level, providing exceptional comfort and automatically customized lumbar support without an external lumbar device. To date, Liberty and the new Liberty Side Chair have won over 12 design awards, including Best of NeoCon Gold and ID Design Distinction Awards for each.
Most recently, Humanscale's 13-member in-house design team, led by Design Director Manuel Saez, has continued Humanscale's history of innovation, by designing such award-winning products as the M7 monitor arm, L2 notebook manager and FM500 foot rest. Housed in a new facility in the heart of Manhattan, the Design Studio features a team-oriented workstation design that encourages idea sharing and communication among all team members. It also boasts a state-of-the-art machine shop / prototyping lab that facilitates the speed and efficiency by which concepts can be realized into 3-dimensional and functional prototypes. The Design Studio works very closely with Humanscale's in-house ergonomists to ensure that all designs are based on the latest human factors research and knowledge.
Humanscale has always been committed to environmental sustainability and continually strives to design, engineer and manufacture products that consume less of the Earth's limited resources. This is accomplished by creating products that weigh less (i.e. require less material), have fewer parts (which requires fewer manufacturing processes) and contain a high percentage of recycled and recyclable content. Additionally, wherever possible, Humanscale utilizes aluminum as its material of choice. Their aluminum is 100% recycled and recyclable which never degrades, enabling it to be reused over and over again. Using aluminum usually costs them more than plastics, but their products are better for it. And so is the environment.

GENEVA (AP) -- The International Committee of the Red Cross says it has received permission from Syrian authorities to enter the besieged Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr on Friday.
Red Cross spokesman Hicham Hassan told The Associated Press on Thursday that the aid group and its Syrian counterpart received a "green light" for the government to bring in emergency supplies and carry out evacuations.
Hassan says the Red Cross received no explicit approval from opposition groups but that rebels have previously appealed for humanitarian assistance to the district.
Syrian rebels on Thursday staged what they described as a "tactical retreat" from Baba Amr to spare around 4,000 civilian residents from attacks by government forces.

Experience and Empathy
(Written on day 30 of #climatehungerstrike in Washington, DC)
If you've never been forced to go hungry for a few days, it is an experience that I recommend everyone go through at least once.
As my stomach growls after thirty days and I can't help but imagine the tastes of my favorite foods longingly, the injustice of hundreds of millions of people forced to experience this on a regular basis is so vividly real, so horrifyingly appalling, that I am simply beside myself.
The word empathy is defined in the Miriam Webster dictionary as the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another.
For many of us this quality of the heart, the quality which lies at the core of the deepest compassion, caring, and love, is limited by our narrow frames of reference.
How can we truly reach out and touch the pain of our brothers and sisters suffering around the world when we have absolutely no idea what it could feel like to be in their shoes?
How can we truly touch the horrors of the world we are leaving to our children when our very nervous systems have never palpated anything even closely resembling them?
I can honestly say, for the first time in my life, that I am beginning to understand the apathy of the industrialized world. This apathy which allows the perpetuation of war, starvation, brutal working conditions, and other consequences of our lifestyle in the lives of people in every corner of the globe is partly a consequence of the fact that with no frame of reference for these experiences, it is impossible for us to make their existence real in our hearts and our minds.
On this hunger strike I have come to understand more deeply the quality that is necessary for the formation of a global movement of deep, spiritual, non-violent resistance that may give future generations a life: heart.
Gandhi and King strongly encouraged their followers to take self-suffering and purification upon themselves in preparation for their struggles. They understood, as I can only say that I am just beginning to, that to experience real suffering not only creates deep solidarity with those who experience the consequences of the injustice we seek so desperately to fight, but it allows us to go beyond the pettiness of our day-to-day desires, anxieties, and concerns to find the space in our consciousness to touch what is real. It strengthens our spirits.
The wisdom of Gandhi and King, I know now, can not be learned through books alone.
I am firmly convinced that the path of non-violent, spiritual struggle presents the only road to humanity's salvation. I believe it is the only chance that we have to combat global injustice against impossible odds and make a future possible, but more fundamentally I believe it is the only road available for all of us to rise above the shallowness, self-absorption, and apathy which have brought us, collectively, into this mess in the first place.
I also see very clearly that in the way of non-violent, spiritual struggle, I am as a pre-schooler. This experience has taught me more about myself and about life than perhaps any I can think of in momory. Most of all it has taught me how much I have to learn.
Given how little time we have, I pray we will all learn fast.

Hammerheads lose to Tampa Bay 2-1
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 31 July 2013 00:27
- Written by Super User
Hammerheads' opportunity for playoffs slowly diminishing
Wilmington Hammerheads 1 VSI Tampa Bay FC 2 - The Wilmington Hammerheads are running out of chances to gain the momentum they need for an opportunity to claim a spot in the playoffs as they took a 2-1 loss versus VSI Tampa Bay on Friday night at Legion Stadium. Wilmington's Shawn Nicklaw tallied his first Hammerheads goal of the season, but it was not enough to lead his team to victory as Tampa Bay's Josh Rife and Chad Burt added two goals within five minutes of each other to give Tampa Bay the final result.
The first goal of the night came off a sideline run by Wilmington midfielder Shawn Nicklaw in the 23rd minute of play. Nicklaw closed in on Tampa Bay goalkeeper Alex Horwath, sending a low ball into the corner of the net and claiming his first goal of the regular season with the Hammerheads. The Hammerheads gained an opportunity for a second goal soon after as Will Heaney chipped the ball to forward Mickael Oliveira, however Horwath deflected the ball within inches of Oliveira. Wilmington wasn't able to hold onto their 1-0 lead for long as Tampa Bay defender Josh Rife equalized the score from a Darren Toby assist in the 33rd minute. Wilmington was left at a 2-1 deficit five minutes later as Tampa Bay midfielder Chad Burt took a long shot from 35 yards out, taking Hammerheads goalkeeper Troy Hernandez unexpectedly.
The second half of the night turned into the Hammerheads battling for another result into the back of the net, but in turn were awarded with cautions and the ejection of midfielder Will Heaney in stoppage time.
The Hammerheads will need to generate a winning streak for the remainder of the regular season to be considered for a slot in playoffs. Tampa Bay still holds the eighth position in the league rankings, allowing them the opportunity to temporarily secure the final slot for a berth in the playoffs.
The Wilmington Hammerheads will host the Charleston Battery at Legion Stadium on Friday, August 2, for 'Pink Night' in support of the Pink Ribbon Project. In their efforts to create breast cancer awareness, the Hammerheads will be donning pink jerseys during the match and are open to bidding in the 'PINK' Auction online via the Wilmington Hammerheads website.

Houston? Miami? New York? Baltimore? Somewhere else? Rock the vote and explain your decision.
According to his agent, that'd be preferable. Yet I don't see a reunion happening.
You'll be amazed at how favorable they are for the Texans.
The Houston Texans have signed free agent fullback Greg Jones to a one-year deal.
As a Texans fan, does that inspire any sort of feeling in you one way or another?
The Vonta Leach Memorial KTFO Award returns for 2012. It might wind up being the only positive thing Trindon Holliday does this season.
""I had five good years in Houston, and I did leave on a bad note," Leach said. "When I was there, I laid it all on the line for Houston, whether I was hurt or not. During my time there, they paid a lot of players I felt didn't necessarily deserve to get paid. What disappointed me was when it was time for me, maybe my last contract, to get a good deal ... I didn't have to be the highest-paid fullback."-Vonta Leach to Jeffrey Martin of the Houston Chronicle Just a couple days after saying that he didn't leave Houston "on a bad note," The Human Coke Machine completely reverses course and claims he did leave town on a bad note. Zuh?
Former Texans Bernard Pollard and Vonta Leach talk about how they'll feel playing their former team on Sunday in Baltimore as Ravens.

EXCELLLENT!!! I usually make a similar recipe but this one is so much easier with less mess. My nine year old was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I've been looking for some good recipes. My two other teanage kids also loved them. Used 1/2 cup dark mini chocolate chips. Would put 10 stars if I could!!!
My 7-year-old daughter requested I make these for her classroom birthday treat. They were a hit! No frosting needed! We've also made these using strawberry cake mix, yum!
These are delicious. I didn't use the chocolate cake mix. Instead I made the chocolate cake on the Hershey's cocoa container. I added about a teaspoon of coconut extract to the filling. I frosted them with a chocolate ganache and drizzled melted white chocolate on top.

East Palo Alto police bust duo for gun arsenal

great police work our community is safer---i hope we get a tough judge that will throw the book at these bad guys.

What, no gun advocates SCREAMING about the Constitution? Oh, they're criminals, that's different.
on Mar 21, 2013 at 10:30 am
I would like to know how they caught on to these guys. What where they doing that is wrong, 17 arms (and obvious hunting/sporting arms) is not an arsenal, nor is it illegal. Palo Alto online obviously has shown its true colors by thinking this is news. Until we know what crime was committed, this is just obvious left wing "guns are bad" propaganda.
From your friendly neighbor who owns 36 firearms, a member of the NRA, a tax paying adult who works in public service, volunteers to help a boyscout troop, and was a former eagle scout.

Terra Incognita: Intelligence services and the 'other'
02/26/2013 21:48
When an organization in society is above reproach, above civilian critique or investigation, then that in itself represents a problem.

"What happened to the Shin Bet officials is that they fell in love with the Palestinians with whom they were in contact," he said. To what degree Shin Bet officials "understand" and even sympathize with the Palestinians they are charged with arresting and interrogating is not clear, and will likely never be known, but these allegations bring to mind similar stories from history.
Al Sieber, the famous 19th-century Indian fighter from Arizona territory, was reputed to have been asked why he hated the Apache so much. "Why do you like them so?" was his reply. However, he also told a confidant, "Had I been born an Apache I would have rode with Geronimo."
Sieber was not the only man sent to suppress the "hostile" Native-Americans who had a begrudging respect for them. George Custer, before he was hacked to death in battle with the Sioux in 1876, called them "the best light cavalry in the world," and fathered a child with a native woman. George Crook participated in almost every important campaign to crush Indian tribes in the 1870s and 1880s, and came away a major supporter of the Indians in their request for fulfillment of treaty promises by the US government.
The stories of Sieber, Custer and Crook are not unique. All the revelations that came out of Dror Moreh's Oscar nominated documentary The Gatekeepers, to the effect that the Shin Bet directors came to sympathize with the Palestinians demands, have now been laid bare by Yossi Kupperwasser. But it fits a pattern that is not necessarily uncommon in real life and has been a frequent motif and plot device in Western film and literature.
Intelligence work is carried out in the shadows.
This is especially true of work that requires infiltrating the ranks of the enemy and being intimately involved in his operations and capabilities. The true intelligence officer lives and breathes the "other."
Depending on his position he or she will learn the language and culture of the enemy.
He may interact with the enemy more than he interacts with his own people. In long hours of interrogations he may come to know his prisoner more than he knows his own family.
He also comes to see the enemy as helpless, especially if he is dealing with prisoners, because he is on the "winning" end of the carrot and the stick. In this context he not only sees the enemy as weak but he feels he understands the enemy better than the enemy may understand himself, and he thinks that his own society is ignorant as to the intentions of the other.
Consider the Cold War. During this period many of the depictions of intelligence work never showed the agencies of the West and the Soviets to truly be hate-driven adversaries.
In the brilliant book Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John Le Carre. The central hero, George Smiley, doesn't particularly dislike the Communists. He is obsessed with defeating the soviet spy chief, Karla. There is little animosity between the two men when they meet in a New Delhi prison. In real life, numerous high-profile figures in British intelligence, the so-called Cambridge Five, defected to the Soviets during the Cold War, believing wholeheartedly that the Communist model was superior.
Shakespeare captured the dilemma in his excellent play Coriolanus, which is based on a true story. In this epic tragedy, a Roman general is spurned by his people and called a traitor.
In revenge he seeks out his old enemy, Aufidius, of the Volscian nation that is at war with Rome. Aufidius embraces Coriolanus as an honored enemy, and together they lay siege to Rome.
The romance of the interrogator coming to sympathize with his interrogee has found its way into modern dramas as well. In the Ralph Fiennes film Land of the Blind a soldier assigned to guard a high-value political prisoner comes to admire the prisoner. He sneaks the prisoner into the presidential palace where the man is able to assassinate the leaders of the country. The prisoner subsequently becomes a brutal dictator and throws his guard-collaborator into prison. In the epic film Cloud Atlas, the human "fabricant" Sonmi-451 joins a rebellion, only to be captured and interrogated before execution.
However just before she is led off to die, it becomes clear that her interrogator has come to believe in her cause.
The myth, however, of the intelligence service or commander coming to "love" his enemy is not borne out by the large majority of historical examples. For instance the leaders of the Inquisition don't seem to have had much sympathy for their victims. Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, had no sympathy for the Catholic spies and rebels he executed and tortured. Adolph Eichmann, despite learning Hebrew, had no qualms murdering millions.
So what to make of the assertion that the Shin Bet "fell in love with the Palestinians"? First of all, unlike in the case of the Cold War, there is no way that anyone in Israel can "defect" to truly join the Palestinians. In the type of religio-ethnic conflict that exists here, there can be no moving from one polity to the other. Thus a situation such as the one Alcibiades found himself in, defecting from the Athenian side to join the Spartans at Syracuse in the Peloponnesian War, isn't possible. Sparta and Athens were both Greek.
EXPERTISE ABOUT the enemy, as intelligence work inevitably requires, results in knowledge that leads to nuance. Just because people come to "understand" those that are considered the enemy doesn't mean that they necessarily lose sight of their job.
That being said, no one should seriously think that intelligence services make better policy than civilian elected leaders.
Those strongmen who relied on their intelligence services too heavily for policy-making, such as the Shah in Iran and Fulgencio Batista in Cuba, found them utterly lacking.
Intelligence services that lost sight of their mandate and seek to control state policy become engrained bureaucratic self-perpetuating machines, as the Pretorians were in Rome and the Jannisaries in Ottoman Istanbul.
What Israel should learn from Kupperwasser's allegations and Gatekeepers is the need to keep a healthy rein on the Shin Bet and enforce clear civilian control over it.
Jerusalem District Court Judge Moshe Drori scolded Kupperwasser for daring to critique the Agency, claiming, "you are speaking of Shin Bet officials, whose whole existence since the age of 21 is based on serving Israel."
When an organization in society is above reproach, above civilian critique or investigation, then that in itself represents a problem.
A balance can be struck. The message that John Le Carre sought to convey clearly in Tinker, Tailor was just that: a security service is fallible. After all, George Smiley has been forcibly retired in the book, when he is brought back to save the service from itself.
Ultimately responsibility in the Le Carre novel rests with civil servants; "the minister" and "Oliver Lacon, of the Cabinet office," not the generals and not the spooks.

App DescriptionWhy spend more when you can buy the same item at a lower price? Save on shopping without saving on quality: if you want to shop wisely, HappyList is the app for you.
â—Ź Chosen by Apple: App Store Rewind 2011
â—Ź Featured by Apple: section 'Cooking' --> 'Tools & Shopping'
"Thanks to saved money I have already recovered the app cost"

"I've been trying different apps to find a great shopping list, and now I've found it"
Review â—Źâ—Źâ—Źâ—Źâ—Ź

"I don't see myself without this app"
Review â—Źâ—Źâ—Źâ—Źâ—Ź
Grab your wallet and open it. Would you throw away the money it contains? Actually it's exactly what happens every time you go shopping at the first store you meet. Why? Because it isn't easy to remember the price of each item for each store. But with HappyList you can save all the prices you want, and buy each item at the best price.
Moreover, at the end of the shopping trip, archive the list. In this way you not only can reuse the list itself, but you can also answer questions like: 'How much money would I waste by buying every item at the highest price?' or 'How much money would I save by buying all items at the lowest price?'. And again, 'Who is the retailer, in overall, with lowest prices? And for the category Fruit and Vegetables?'. HappyList answers these and many other questions, and pays for itself just after a few purchases.
â—Ź Are you able to remember all the prices for each store? No? No problem: with HappyList you can save all the prices you want
â—Ź The 6x pack or the 10x pack? Which one is more convenient? Insert the package size, and read the price per unit
â—Ź Why spend more? Compare prices of various stores, and compare the cost of the list according to stores
â—Ź Do you want to save the most money possible? Select the lowest price for all the items in a list
â—Ź Are you absent-minded? Color pricing, to identify on the fly items you're paying too much
â—Ź Do you want to learn more about your stores? Identify cheaper and most expensive stores (overall and grouped by aisles)
â—Ź Do you like to make calculations? No? Find out how much money you can save or waste for each list
â—Ź Do you like to type on the keyboard? No? HappyList has more than 3200 preloaded items
â—Ź Do you like to type on the keyboard? No? Scan the barcode (only for devices with autofocus camera)
â—Ź How often do you forget to buy something? HappyList is always with you, on your device
â—Ź Do you buy often the same things? Reuse archived lists, add items to your favorites and browse your purchase history
â—Ź Do you waste a lot of time walking through the aisles of the store? Organize items in aisles, and change aisles order to suit your local store
â—Ź Do you want to share lists with your family, or synchronize them on multiple devices? Enable the Dropbox sync
â—Ź Are you afraid of losing your data? Backup and restore features are for you
â—Ź Do you need to send the list to someone else? You can do this via email, SMS or iMessage
â—Ź Do you have various devices? Universal app: pay once, use anywhere (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch)
â—Ź Do you like to customize your stuff? Choose among 12 different color templates and among 10 fonts, and choose how to sort lists and items
The matching between barcodes and items is managed in a social way, through the community of users. Inevitably, in the beginning only few barcodes will be recognized. But the more people use HappyList, the better HappyList will get.
If you have problems or suggestions please contact us via email@example.com (you can do this from within the app itself). We are not able to help you if you simply leave a comment on the App Store. We give the greatest importance to the quality and reliability of the application, and we will be happy to solve any problem.

IT must be difficult to stand over a six-metre putt with $1800 on the line.
Harder still when you have a crowd of rowdy hecklers filling your ears with abuse.
But Duntryleague golfer Robert Payne was able to overcome those obstacles on Friday evening when he conquered his home club's 'Putt For Cash' challenge to the tune of almost two grand.
Payne is a member of a syndicate which each week buys tickets in the raffle to determine who will take the putt, held on the practice green overlooked by the clubhouse.
Every Friday the distance of the putt varies, with the cash incentive growing with every missed roll.
On Friday night, Payne's syndicate found themselves in the firing line.
And the Australian Masters representative didn't disappoint, steering the ball into the heart of the cup, even raising his arms in joy when it still had a metre to travel.
Waiting in the wings were his fellow syndicate members, no doubt doing some quick sums in their minds to determine their share of the loot.
Special thanks to the Duntryleague member who filmed the scenes on their phone and provided the footage.

Three bears perched in a tree are worrying some residents in Gainesville, Ga.Ricky Humphries said he first spotted the mother bear and her two cubs in a tree off of Leach Circle on Monday morning. He said that animal control and Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials told him that they couldn't do anything about the furry creatures. He said officials told him "just leave them alone and they will go away eventually."Brianna Johnson said she was nervous about her dog. "My dog, he was down there tangled and the momma was still down there , so I didn't want to go outside and get him in the house, so I waited until she got in the tree," Johnson said. The bears remained about 60 feet up in the tree as of Monday night.
Another Georgia parent has sued his children's school district over guns. The lawsuit is directed at Fulton County schools.

High Speed Rail Passes by a Single Vote

We need new taxes for education, but there's money to build a train to Disneyland. Guess we'll be able to use the three weeks Brown wants to cut out of the school year for the trip.
on Jul 6, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Commenting on your own post, Kathleen? Tre gauche!
Anyway: are you claiming that the rail project will be paid for out of the general fund? Or does it not serve your purpose to mention the federal grants and bonds that are not transferable to education? Cuz I KNOW you'd never intentionally deceive readers about education...
on Jul 6, 2012 at 5:45 pm
I think the point is that the Nov taxes are DOA with high speed rail going ahead.

The Carolina Panthers will meet the Philadelphia Eagles tonight in the second preseason game of 2013. It's an opportunity to see whether the offense can improve, the offensive line's first chance to see a 3-4 defense, and whether Josh Norman can keep up his high level of play. I sat down with Jimmy Kempski, one of the managers of Bleeding Green Nation to ask him about the game, and the Eagles' season as a whole.
Cat Scratch Reader: It looks like Chip Kelly is wasting no time installing his offense. Do you expect Kelly to keep the breakneck pace he showed against the Patriots in this week's game?
Bleeding Green Nation: Yeah, I think they'll continue to run their hurry up. When they got into their fastest gear last week they averaged around 13-14 seconds from whistle to being set on the next play,and those were on plays where they were gaining chunks of yardage. It'll be a nice test for the Panthers D, as more teams are looking to utilize a faster pace.
It will be really fun to watch how Carolina's defensive line deals with speed. Conditioning will be a prime concern, and for some of these players they haven't seen this kind of play calling since college.
CSR: Who's one player on the Eagles that Panthers fans might not know right now, but they'll remember his name Friday morning?
BGN: Damaris Johnson, maybe. He was an undrafted rookie out of Tulsa last year, but he looks like he could be a big contributor this year, both in the return game and as a shifty slot receiver.
Carolina's special teams coverage left a lot to be desired last week. Here's hoping we still don't know who Johnson is on Friday!
CSR: How long do you expect Matt Barkley to play on Thursday?
BGN: He had 37 snaps Week 1, which is a lot. I would suspect he'll get another healthy dose this week, and then they'll let Vick and Foles play more in the dress rehearsal Week 3.
CSR: One thing our teams share is offensive line struggles. How has Kelly helped rebuild the protection since arriving in Philadelphia?
BGN: The Eagles' OL has a chance to be special this year, if healthy. Last year they lost Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, and Todd Herremans to season ending injuries. Those guys were all goners by the time the Eagles played the Panthers in 2012. All three players will be back, plus Evan Mathis and first round pick Lane Johnson, who has looked fantastic so far.
It's interesting to see a team's different approach to a similar problem. They had injuries, and quickly addressed them through the draft -- just in case. Now a weakness is a strength. I'm sure gifting the Eagles Evan Mathis hasn't hurt either.
CSR: If there was one player you could take from the Panthers, and put on the Eagles roster who would it be, and why?
BGN: Easy. Cam Newton. He plays the most important position in sports, he's talented as hell, and the Eagles are unsettled at QB.
I'll admit, I teed this one up for Jimmy, and he obliged. It's nice to see other teams respect the player who is so often misunderstood by the majority of NFL fans.
