Wajma (An Afghan Love Story)
60 Lake Street
Burlington, VT 05401
Afghanistan | 2012 | Fiction | Persian w/English subtitles
Run Time: 86 minutes
Film source: Doc & Film International
Sponsor: The Caroline Baird Crichfield Fund
Achingly realistic and immediately affecting, Wajma relates an age-old story through a neotraditionalist lens. It offers a fascinating portrait of conflicting middle class family values in contemporary Afghanistan. The title character (Wajma Behar) is a young Afghan woman with a bright future ahead of her – a future that is immediately called into question when she becomes pregnant before marrying. Her boyfriend, Mustafa (Mustafa Abdulsatar), is charming and loving, but only to a point, and his insensitivity puts Wajma in a dangerous situation. As one character puts it, Afghan society is far too "outdated" to offer any decent options to an unmarried, pregnant woman. Beyond its emotional rawness and fly-on-the-wall cinematography (which deliberately echoes that of many of the films of the Iranian New Wave), Wajma's major achievement occurs at the narrative level. Two-thirds through the film, the story shifts its focus from Wajma and Mustafa to the young woman's father, who is faced with a crisis of his own: punish his daughter for shaming his family, or care for the daughter he loves? In presenting multiple sides of a complex issue, Wajma demonstrates its acute sensitivity to the emotional realities of everyday life.
About the Director: Barmak Akram was born in 1966 in Kabul. He received diplomas from three major art schools in France, including the École nationale supérieure des Beaux Arts. Besides directing several short films and documentaries and two full-length features (Kabuli Kid premiered in 2008 at the Venice Film Festival), Akram is also a musician, songwriter, and composer.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Kudos to a young man from Plaistow who values helping others over his own interests.
Cameron Lyle, a track-and-field athlete at the University of New Hampshire, joined many of his college peers a few years ago in signing up for a national bone marrow registry. Using genetic information from swabs of the participants' mouths, the registry seeks to match potential donors with those needing bone marrow transplants as treatment for certain forms of cancer.
The odds are long — a participant has only a one in 5 million chance of being a match for someone not a member of his or her own family. So Lyle didn't think much of his chances of being a donor.
A few months ago, he got a call from the National Marrow Donor Program that he was a potential match for a 28-year-old male who is suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Further testing determined that Lyle was a perfect match for the patient.
The only catch: Donating would mean Lyle would have to miss the rest of the track season, including the America East Championships, where he was hoping to throw shot put. As a senior, these would be the last competitions of his career.
Lyle told reporter Alex Lippa the decision was easy.
"He has six months to live and I have the possibility to buy him a couple more years," Lyle said.
Lyle's donor surgery was scheduled for yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He won't be able to lift more than 20 pounds over his head for a few weeks.
Lyle's mother, Christine Sciacca, told Lippa she's proud of her son.
"I don't know of many 21-year-olds who would give up their last year of track to help another human," she said.
Lyle was uncertain how his coach would react to the news.
"I felt like I was walking into the principal's office and I had done something wrong," Lyle said.
His worries were misplaced. Coach Jim Boulanger was on board with the plan.
"I told him, you either do 12 throws at the conference championships, or you give another man a few more years," Boulanger said. "It was easy for me."
Lyle's selflessness and commitment to helping others is commendable. It comes at a time of transition for the young man about to finish college. It's difficult to pass on one final shot at athletic glory. But it is a sign of Lyle's maturity that he knows some things are more important.
Lyle does not know the identity of the person who will receive his gift. The rules of bone marrow donation require that the participants remain unknown to each other for a year. After that time, they will each have the opportunity to sign consent forms that would allow their identities to be revealed.
Lyle said he would like to meet the recipient.
"I'd love to meet him some day," Lyle said. "He's not that much older than myself. I just can't imagine what he's going through."
We hope they meet, too, and find each other in good health.

The Detroit Lions released their final injury report Wednesday afternoon and running Maurice Morris was listed as probable with a knee issue. Morris was a full participant in practice throughout the week and likely will be plenty available.
However, little things like this make life a lot easier for the Lions in sticking with Kevin Smith for another week. Smith stunned the fantasy football world when he blew up for over 200 combined yards last week against the Carolina Panthers. He was the hot pickup off waivers in every fantasy football league and now we'll see if he can follow up his huge performance. The Lions will need a big rushing day if they want to slow down the Packers high-flying attack. The best way to slow down this kind of offense is to keep them on the sidelines and Kevin Smith could be key to that.

It is BYOB and the ship provides mixes and ice, etc. There are soda dispensers with several choices in the lounge and dining room. The recommended tipping is $12 to $14 per day per passenger and must be in cash or checks. Visa or MasterCard can be used for the tours. The prices of the tours seem to be reasonable and in some cases are cheaper than if you do it on your own. Our cruise only had 34 passengers and the ship can hold 98. The entertainment after dinner was local and for the most part very good. We had a lecturer on board with lectures on the war of 1812. The ship does not have stabilizers, and it can move around in the great lakes. In 2013 the cruise line says the will include wine at dinner and they did this on our trip. So you only need to bring drinks for the cocktail hour. The crew was all from the US and they are as hardworking and pleasant as any other cruise we have been on. It was a laid back and enjoyable cruise. The cab fare was about $50. from the Providence, RI airport to the dock in Warren.

How Plague, Inc topped the mobile market

The quiet launch and viral success of pandemic simulator Plague, Inc
Plague, Inc is one of the hottest games for the mobile market, and has proven to be a successful venture for Ndemic Creations. The CEO of Ndemic has even been invited by the CDC to speak about how the game models infectious disease. Yet, as Alexander points out in her article, this game isn't exactly unique; Pandemic 2 is several years old, and plays quite similarly.
It's fascinating when things like Plague, Inc become popular, and context Alexander provides for its rise to fame show that sometimes just a little bit of marketing magic - or lack thereof - can make or break your game.

Three children hid in a closet and called for help, while a stranger broke down their front door Tuesday morning.
Vancouver police say it happened around 10 a.m. near Northeast 31st Street and 133rd Court..
The children, ages 11, 13 and 15, were home alone while their dad was at the grocery store and their mom was at work. They told Fox 12 a man rang their doorbell but they didn't know him, so they didn't answer the door. The man jiggled the doorknob, then walked away.
One of the children went outside and took a cell phone photo of the man as he walked away.
The man came back two more times and rang the doorbell, while attempting to open the door.
As the children hid in a bedroom closet and called their dad for help, the man broke down the front door, denting the door and damaging the frame. It is believed he entered the home, but did not take anything.
The man left before their father and police arrived.
"It's just not easy to know that someone is trying to get in your house, your kids are home and you're not there to stop them," said the homeowner, who asked not to be identified to protect his children.
The kids were not harmed. Police searched the area with a K-9, but the man was not located.
The suspect is described as a white man, around 6'1" to 6'2" in his mid 30s with a heavy build. He had dark brown short hair and a goatee or mustache. He was wearing a light-colored plaid shirt and sunglasses perched on top of his head.
"I think it's terrible," one neighbor said. "It's a big eye-opener though for people to get to know their neighbors, get to know who you should be in your neighborhood and who shouldn't be."
Anyone who may have seen the suspect is asked to call the Vancouver police tip line at 360-487-7399.
For their part, police and the children's family said the kids did the right thing by not opening the front door and calling for help.
"Oh, I think they did everything right," their father said.

Latest Book: Rock · Paper · Book (2013)
Elizabeth Eisenstein wrote a scholarly two-volume tome on the printing press as an agent of change. For this class, we decided to look at how paper was also an agent of change, by researching various papermaking methods as paper moved from its beginnings in China to the rest of the world. By making paper themselves, the students developed a new understanding of the complexities of papermaking: gathering the pulp, figuring out how to fibrillate it, experimenting with several kinds of moulds and even hand-beating of the pulp with rubber hamamers. In this way, students' attitudes about paper in general, and about the paper we would be using for the book, were changed. As a result, they decided to develop the theme of paper and ideas for this semester-long book project. To deepen their understanding, we invited John Risseeuw to give the Frederic W. Goudy Lecture in September on how paper has meaning. He demonstrated in the workshop how the even the choice of pulp can impart meaning to the paper. Snippets of the students' own handmade paper are presented on the Rives BFK paper that wraps each of their sections.
Fourteen students developed the ideas for this book. The texts and images were printed on Rives Heavyweight using four Vandercook presses. Images were hand-cut into linoleum, or paper itself was added to act as an image. Drawings and cuttings were added to enhance meaning. Each student chose a typeface to present their ideas. The front and back matter are tyepset in 12 and 14 pt. Ehrhardt Roman and Italic. The binding continues the theme of paper and ideas by using Rives BFK gray wrapper paper to complete the covers. A Coptic-style sewing pattern was used to hold all the sections together using linen thread. The class was effectively aided by teaching assistant Chris Yuengling-Niles. Size: 9.5 x 5.5 inches. The book was printed in an edition of 105 copies.

Stencilling has been around since cave painters blew pigment around their hands to make prints on cave walls. Every culture has some kind of stencil technique. The Japanese method of katagami uses smoked persimmon paper stencils cut in elaborate patterns and strengthened with silk threads for coloring kimonos. Photographs of these kinds of stencils were published in 1878 in Paris by architect, Th. Lambert. Pochoir is the name given to the French iteration of the process, which first flourished in Paris in the early 20th century, especially for colorizing fashion plates and book illustrations.

Gun sales were already spiking, but business jumped even more at many South Georgia stores, Wednesday.
One Lee County gun dealer says people are willing to pay more certain guns than ever.
On the heels of President Obama's announcement, attempting to ban semi-automatic weapons and high capacity ammunition clips, Georgia Loan and Gun Owner Steven Drew has been dealing with customers all day itching to get their hands on guns.
"The phone has rung constantly. I have nearly run out of handguns. I've sold AR-15's today and I'm struggling to try to find products to sell," said Drew.
Just a couple of weeks ago we visited the store in Lee County and his wall of Semi-automatic rifles was empty. Since then, he has restocked, but he says this supply won't last for long especially after the proposed ban.
"Semi-automatic rifles have been flying off the shelves, in all makes and all models. Any firearm that's capable of accepting a high capacity magazine has pretty much quadruple in price due to demand," said Drew.
Another highlight of President Obama's announcement was tougher penalties on gun traffickers.
"That is one of the things, I think professionally, where some progress will result on this issue," said Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards.
Something District Attorney Greg Edwards stands by along with some other improvements.
"We need to work on steps to keep guns out of places that they should not be. We need to do that by tougher laws and using technology by all means available to keep guns out of these places," said Drew.
"People who are doing illegal activities with firearms that undermine the freedoms of this country and that contribute dramatically to breaking the law absolutely needs stiffer penalties," said Drew.
As for an all-out ban, Drew says the President's proposal may cause unintended adverse consequences.
"If you ban all firearms you're going to create a black market problem just like when Alcohol was banned and just like when drugs were banned. It's going to create a huge market of imported firearms to meet the demand that you created when you outlawed them," said Drew.
While in Georgia Loan and Gun, a parent was buying a gun, but he said it wasn't for him.
He says it will be a gift for his child in the future so hopefully they can experience how it feels to own a gun, something the parent fears may not available in the future.

I picked up a 22oz bottle of this having never heard of it. The chick on the label is kind of hot, btw. I poured this into my Chimay goblet. Pours a nice dark brown color. It was an easy pour, so there wasn't too much of a head. There was plenty of foam though that stayed atop the beer. Nice lacing left behind after the first sip. Sweet malty caramel aroma with a noticable alcohol presence. Smells a bit smokey and get a sense of some vanilla in there. The first sip was kind of harsh on a clean palate. A real malty sweetness to it with plenty of hops. Again, the alcohol is there. A touch of bitterness, but not too much. Becomes increasingly easy to drink with each sip and quite enjoyable. Medium to full bodied and quite smooth. Very drinkable. I wish I had another bottle to bust into tonight.

Thanks to my mother in law bringing down some NY beers from Buffalo just in time for the Rose Bowl,anyways what a pour deep amber with a huge fluffy head that takes its time to settle leaving globs of lace.Aromas of citrius,pine and some butteriness in there,pretty well rounded.Big citruisy hop flavor up front but there is some great balance with a lightly sweet maltiness that kicks in late to make this a hop accented brew with a huge maltiness that almost keeps up.Mouthfeel is very creamy and how drinkable for 9% I have it nearly gone in less than ten minutes.I have been drinking a few west coast IPA's and hop tilted brews and this east coaster is the best in my opinion.

3.93/5 rDev -0.8%
Appearance: Pours a deep reddish, amber brown with a nice frothy head. Head ertention good & lacing throughout the glass.
Aroma: The aroma permeates with hops & malt. Really evident this is a highly hopped ale. Flowery hop aroma lends an alluring side to this.
Taste: Good malt character offset with perfect hop balance. Bittering hops cut any sweetness of the malt. Love the hops! Not too sweet, not too bitter flavor. The bitter aftertaste lingers a bit too long though....
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Starts crisp, but finishes slightly cloying.
Drinkability: This is a good one to enjoy slowly. Not one to drink if thirsty & looking for refreshment. The flavors in this deserve to be considered slowly over time...
Comments: I enjoyed this beer & am a fan of the style. I've had better, but still enjoyable. The one downside was the overly bitter aftertase which remained longer than I would have preferred.

An interesting label on this one to say the least. The Wench pours a deep brownish red with a nice two finger khaki head. This is one super dark double IPA that leaves nice lacing as the head recedes. Big piney/citirc hop nose with an interesting buttery caramel background.
First sip hits upfront with a nice bitter sticky pine hoppiness along with hints of citrus fruit. It's very well balanced with a nice caramel maltiness, accentuated by warm buttery notes. A damn fine double IPA that seperates itself from the pack.
There's a very nice body here along with a smooth, creamy taste that goes down easily. I could have a couple of bombers of this on the weekend and be content. Kudos to Middle Ages and to dmeadows for allowing me the opportunity to sample this one.

Dark amber in color, not what I was expecting, but always nice to see something new. Poured with a fairly large head, probably due to a little over aggressive pour. Head reduced to a couple of lumps and then hung around for a while. The spotted lacing on the glass was nice.
The aroma is quite powerful, I could begin to smell all the hops as soon as I barely broke the seal on the cap. The smell is over the top hops of all sorts. I pick up an overall fruity smell which tends to make me think of apricot and maybe some oranges or tangerines. There is a bit of pine and straw as well.
The taste was a bit disappointing to me. Nothing like what the smell alluded to and quite lacking in any hard hitting hop flavor. I havent had an IPA or Pale Ale in 2 weeks and it still doesnt faze my taste buds with any kind of over the top bitterness. The flavor I do pick up is mainly resin in nature with pine accents, not the fruit found in the aroma. Others seems to think this one is balanced with malts better than some I2PAs. While it might be, I seem to feel that this style should be tilted more towards the bitter side of the scale. Or maybe that is what I have come to expect with this style...who knows, but I like bitterness and numb tastebuds. Alcohol nuances are nonexistent.
Mouth feel is decent, somewhere in between thin and medium, not oily typical of many I2PAs. Flavor lingers for a bit. Drinkability is decent as well due to the balanced nature.

Pours a dark scotchy carmel. Very little head, some lacing into bubbly islands of carbonation.
Smells yummy malty. Minimal hops, some ABV present.
Minimal malt. Strange hoppy middle and finish. Why is it all 'American' styles simply mean adding hops to brew styles?
ABV bite. Not balanced with the ABV vs Malt and hops. Something not right with the hop presistence.
All in all, im not sure Im qualified to review some of the MA Brews. I find my pallete cant sense out the positives that the beer typically gets from most reviewers. Im sure this has to do with not having the ability to appreciate the style. Sooo ... sorry for the low rating.

I've tried this more times than I care to think about - on tap, on cask, and in growlers - and now I can write a review as I've figured the Wench out. She's an auburn beauty - no, she's not from 10 miles west of Syracuse, but she is a stunning dark ruby red with a thin persistent offwhite head. The aroma hides the bitter hop attack to come so well - faint diacetyl (to me - your diacetyl mileage may vary) with toasty, cocoa, coffee, and coarse hop notes.
I love the way this beer attacks the palate. It immediately goes for the back of the tongue and slaps it around a bit, then brings its bitter slightly roasted malty attack around to the front of the mouth for a quick tour. The bitterness is big-time in this one - if you like hop bitterness, you'll probably appreciate this beer. There is malt sweetness and a bit of diacetyl in the background, but the flavors that emerge from the melding of malt and hop - piney, bitter chocolate, faint coffee - are the real story here. Finishes bitter, slightly astringent, with faint brown sugar malty sweetness in the background. More? I've cracked another pint writing this review.
On cask, this beer is simply heaven, as the softer carbonation balances the bitterness. Well worth seeking out.
These guys... does anyone else do this much this well with the Ringwood yeast???

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pt. 6oz bottle into a tulip glass. The label lists the abv at 8%. There is no freshness date.
Appearance: The body has a deep coppery amber color with a light haze. Its head rose up tall, thick and clingy. It had a light tan color and great retention. This all made for nice sticky lacing on the glass.
Smell: There is a bold mix of floral/citrusy hops and sweet malt with a hint of butterscotch and dark fruit.
Taste/Palate: It has a firm foundation of sweet fruity, bready and caramel maltiness with a slight touch of butterscotch. Blending into this is a firm backing of pungent floral citrus and earthy hop bitterness. It finishes with a sticky hop bitterness clinging to the palate. It feels firm and full bodied with just enough carbonation to keep it moving easily over the tongue.
Notes: This is definitely a well made and very enjoyable beer.

Thanks to Beeguy for the sample ...
22 oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
A- Big froth, lots of tan colored head and the retention is superb. The bronze tinged brown hue shows some clarity.
S- Faint buttery note and thick malt sweetness resembles cake batter. The hop aroma is quite fragrant with floral and citric tones.
T&M - Big rush of floral, sticky herbal and citric hops. Very malty with a solid body and lush crispness. Tad buttery with more herbal hop flavor in the middle. Warming alcohol and a dark fruit flavor linger throughout after each sip. Bitterness kicks in middle to end with a slow tingle and a earthy dryness.
D- Big time fall / winter ale. Sipping brew all the way. Warming and flavorful and a easy paring with some mild goat cheddar.

22 oz bottle courtesy of OldTex29, pours a clear copper body topped by a large almond hued head. Excellent retention is complimented by huge sheet lacing.
Aroma is bold. Caramel and toffee maltiness is met by an enormous hoppiness of orange, citrus and pine. Nice!
Medium body and carbonation.
Taste is dominated by an assertive hops bitterness that is orange, pine, and grapefruit. Maltiness is equally ambitious and serves up some chewy caramel. Finishes with a citrusrind bitterness that follows into the aftertaste.
Aggressive hoppiness here borders on the American barleywine and/or DIPA category but nicely enjoyable as an American strong ale.

Bomber bottle, no freshness dating to be found. Pours a heady shade of dark auburn, quite clear, raising a tan head. This leaves a lot of stringy lace as well as sheets of lacing. Sweat, malty and resiny nose. So far so good! medium bodied. Creamy, buttery mouthfeel. Notes of vanilla, maple, leather, just a wee bit thin on the malt, but comes through with a resiny, pine finish. Strong, flavorful, complex and well crafted ale. Well worth seeking out.

Thanks to HappyHourHero for this one.
Finally getting around to this bomber...served at cellar temperature.
Pours a real dark bronze color w/ two full fingers of cloud-like tan beige head. Lacing is thick, foamy, and has nice sustaining qualities.
Aromas filled w/ caramel, butterscotch, fruity hops just begging for attention...amazing they can get lost in the plethora of scents going on here.
The taste is fantastic...a malt bomb w/ plenty of hops to keep its definition as a double. Despite all the malt, this one is not sweet at all. It's mouthfeel is fairly thick, but average for its style IMO. Nothing lingering here...just a very refreshing, bitter finish.
Alcohol does make an appearance in the end, but does not distract from the experience...actually, keeps you cogniscent of drinking too much of this gem.
Has to be one of the most drinkable IIPA's I have tried to date...gets better and better as it warms up.

I got this as a single at Union Jack's on the Manatawny. I drank it in a goblet.
Pours a beautiful garnet red with a two finger head of light tan foam. The head falls to a coating and a ring, with great lacing. Carbonation looks medium.
Aroma is earthy, fruity and spicy, with notes of molasses, vanilla, spicy hops, plums and currants. This has a wonderful smell. Alcohol comes through as it warms. Pride of Ringwood?
The flavor is WOW! Big hop bitterness, sweet, dark, rich malts, earthy/spicy hops out the ass. Starts out sweet, but quickly dries out a little. Strong vanilla, dark brown sugar, and fruits like plums and currants. There really is a lot going on here, very delicious. Aftertaste is molasses, earthy hops, and bitterness.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with a tongue curdling hop character. Residual sweetness is medium, and the beer is medium bodied. Dries out during mid-sip.
This is one outstanding brew. Wonderful combination of flavors; great hoppiness, perfect malt backbone, nice spiciness, and well hidden alcohol. Highly recommended.

I was surprised that this was classifed on BA as a strong ale and not an IPA. Has the buttery character associated with Ringwood. Fairly hoppy and smooth. Very good in a bottle but even better on draft. The Wench is a solid beer that I would recommend.

Caramel colored, clear liquid, with an inch-high head of light beige lumpy meringue. As the head slowly settles it leaves oily rings and legs reaching up the sides of the glass.
Full aroma of tangerine and floral hops with some malty undertones.
Perhaps the hoppiest non-IPA I've had thus far. Initial flavor is citrus hops, some pine and grapefruit rind, but not overly piney. A fine malt base rides beneath, subtle caramelly malt, some brown sugar, a cherry tang, and some smoke.
Mouthfeel is initially slick,but has a quick sparkle of carbonation following shortly afterward. Good beer, pretty drinkable for the big flavor and ABV.

Many thanks to HappyHourHero for getting the ball rolling on this incredible brew... and by the way, his review is right on the money.
Appearance: Rich ruby/brown with a full, tan Middle Ages head.
Smell: Mega hops, yet also quite malty... outstanding, IPA +++
Taste: Perfect balance of huge hops, huge malt, and a loving alcohol warmth. As I've said, this is a BIG beer, but with a very well controlled intensity.
Mouthfeel is huge, chewy and an absolute delight...balance, balance, balance.
Drinkability... I finished off a whole growler over about a 2 1/2 hour period and was left a little buzzed, but wanting more. This is a must try...an outstanding example of the Imperial IPA style. More than holds it's own against Rogue I2PA...looking forward to comparing to Dreadnaught.
My understanding is that this brew has a limited availability.

Now how can you NOT try a brew with that pic on the label???
Pours a medium dark amber with a full two fingers of thick tan head that never melts...seriously...this sticky head stays forever.
Aromas are fresh hops as it should be ....fresh hops a touch of sweet malt...but a tingle of hops in the nose always.
Mouth is filled with slightly toasted amber malt that gives way to a citrus hops leaving you with a tangy dryness in the mouth for an aftertaste.
Pleasant, but unfortunately indistinct in the type of hops or the sense of citrus one feels.
I would like a bit more definition with this brew.
All in all good...could have been great with fresher, more distinct hops,.

Ruby red-brown with clarity. Off white/tanish head has a nice creamy +oily look to it. Lacing beigns to form right off the bat, and great retention. Aroma is a satisfying combo of juicy fresh citric, floral and piney resinous hops and buttery bread dough. Dark sweet fruits are evident with a toffee, caramel malt softness. Taste begins with resinous chewy coniferous, floral, grapefruit rinds, and earthy hops. The hops are the focus, but are back nicely by the buttery dough and slightly sweet malts. Fruit comes through in the transition to the yummy dry bitterness that lasts through the finish. I feel like I'm chewing lightly buttered hops right off the plant. Mmmm. Very easy to drink as an 8% strong ale.
A tasty awesome treat for the senses.

Bomber into a pint glass.
Appearance: Beautiful dark amber with a frothy off-white, slightly brown or amber head leaving spotty lacing and decent full sheets of foam.
Smell: Big citrus and fruit esters. Leafy, grassy hops, grapefruit, orange, and lemon, along with a bit of granny smith apple sweetness. When it's colder the caramel malts and chocolate flavors are there, though the hops and bitterness and fruit esters dominate as it warms.
Taste: Rich and sweet and sour and bitter fruit esters, citrus, dough, caramel malts, breadiness, strawberries, granny smith apples, and finishes doughy and bitter and citrus.
Mouthfeel: Rich and creamy and medium-bodied and good overall.
Drinkability: Solid for the summer or winter months, but more like a DIPA, which strong ales sometime represent. I could easily make this a session brew, as it's flavorful as hell without being over the top.

TodoMVC in Opa
Edit: I just learned that dotcloud supports Opa! So I've pushed OpaDo and you can see a demo here http://opado-tristan.sloughter.dotcloud.com/
I wanted something quick and simple to do in Opa to give it a try so I decided to implement the TodoMVC example that has been redone in almost all Javascript frameworks, https://github.com/addyosmani/todomvc.
The code can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/tsloughter/OpaDo
Opa is unique in that it is not only a new language but also a new web server and database. While Opa's page pushes the idea that its for the cloud and its easy distribution, I found the nicest part being the static typing and no need for Javascript.
The functions below handle interactions with the Todo items. It somewhat reminds me of Lift but taken even farther.
/** * {1 User interface} */ update_counts() = num_done = Dom.length(Dom.select_class("done")) total = Dom.length(Dom.select_class("todo")) do Dom.set_text(#number_done, Int.to_string(num_done)) Dom.set_text(#number_left, Int.to_string(total - num_done)) make_done(id: string) = do if Dom.is_checked(Dom.select_inside(#{id}, Dom.select_raw("input"))) then Dom.add_class(#{id}, "done") else Dom.remove_class(#{id}, "done") update_counts() remove_item(id: string) = do Dom.remove(#{id}) update_counts() remove_all_done() = do Dom.remove(Dom.select_parent_one(Dom.select_class("done"))) update_counts() add_todo(x: string) = id = Random.string(8) li_id = Random.string(8) line =

 <input class="check" type="checkbox" onclick={_ -> make_done(id) } />
{ x }
  remove_item(li_id) }>

 <input class="todo-input" type="text" value="" />

 do Dom.transform([#todo_list +<- line ]) do Dom.scroll_to_bottom(#todo_list) do Dom.set_value(#new_todo, "") update_counts()
It is unique in combining the HTML into the language itself. Some have argued against this but when it works well it makes perfect sense. I don't want to have to convert a designers HTML into some other representation! And being able to have type checked dynamic functionality within the HTML is a boon. Even with just this simple program, I found the usefulness of the type checker outstanding.
Next we have the main outline of the page and the entry part for the program.
start() =

Todos

 <input id=#new_todo placeholder="What needs to be done?" type="text" onnewline={_ -> add_todo(Dom.get_value(#new_todo)) } />

  0 items left.    remove_all_done() }> Clear 0 completed items

 /** * {1 Application} */ /** * Main entry point. */ server = Server.one_page_bundle("Todo", [@static_resource_directory("resources")], ["resources/todos.css"], start)
It won't be able to replace my use of Erlang for the backend and Coffeescript for the frontend, but it looks very promising.
I'll be extending this example to include persistence, sessions and users and will add posts as I complete those.
hm …
I am an old erlanger of 10 Y ago, trying to touchbase. when seing this "It won't be able to replace my use of Erlang for the backend and Coffeescript for the frontend, …" I looked into Coffeescript, and amazing !! is it some kind of light erlang to js compile ?
do you have any idea how you combine erlang and CS available ?
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was entirely right.
This post actually made my day. You cann't imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

By now you all know that Colts QB Peyton Manning, whose 208 consecutive regular-season starts is the longest active streak in the NFL, underwent neck surgery for the second offseason in a row.
In fact, Manning has undergone surgery in three of the past four offseasons (he had an infected bursa sac removed from his left knee prior to the 2008 season).
Add to that the fact that his 17 interceptions last season were his highest total since 2001 and I can guarantee you that folks in some fantasy circles are wondering if they're beginning to see the chinks in the future Hall of Famer's seemingly indestructible armor.
I'm just not one of them.
That Manning also set career highs in attempts (679), completions (479) and passing yards (4,700) last season doesn't tell the whole story. He consistently was under duress, playing behind a subpar offensive line and with an ever-changing cast of characters that even the coaching staff had a hard time identifying by the end of the season.
Sure, his three-game slump between Weeks 11-13, in which he tossed 11 interceptions — including two pick-sixes — looked more like a stretch that would come from the '10 version of Favre than Manning. But he quickly rebounded by leading his club to four consecutive wins to end the regular season and clinch a record-tying ninth consecutive postseason berth. He had a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 9-2 during that stretch. Throw out that bad three-game stretch and Manning's TD-interception ratio was a scintillating 25-6.
Let's take a look at what the Colts did this offseason to address some of the issues Manning had regarding his supporting cast last season. They spent their first two picks of the draft on offensive linemen who are expected to be starters from Day One. They also spent a fourth-rounder on a between-the-tackles bruiser who should immediately become their best short-yardage option since Edgerrin James.
And then there are all of the key offensive weapons returning from injury. Pro Bowl TE Dallas Clark, a favorite of Manning's, is back to 100 percent. Emerging star WR Austin Collie, who was among the most productive wideouts in the NFL last season before a broken thumb and two chilling concussions spoiled a potentially special campaign, says he has no lingering side effects. Furthermore, former first-rounder and presumably healthy WR Anthony Gonzalez enters a contract year and his final opportunity to prove to the Colts he can stay on the field.
I know what you're saying: what about Manning's neck? Anytime a procedure is done anywhere near the spinal cord, it is absolutely a concern. I have been told, however, that his range of motion won't be affected, and the procedure to repair a bulging disk was essentially the same procedure he had last offseason — just at a different level. I was also told that the recovery time should be similar (Manning was throwing within two weeks of the surgery last offseason). So even though he reportedly has been reluctant to participate in physical therapy because he prefers to use the team's doctors, he should still have enough time to recover if the timeline we continue to hear for ending the lockout holds true.
If I'm in the shoes of Colts owner Jim Irsay, who just signed Manning a five-year deal worth $90 million, I sure am nervous about how Manning's neck will hold up two, three, four years down the road.
But as a potential fantasy owner of Manning's this season, I not so boldly predict another monster campaign is on the horizon for the league's only four-time MVP.

According to the United Nations, there are nearly 1 billion people around the world who are hungry. As the world's largest restaurant company, we believe it is our privilege and responsibility to make a difference in the lives of others less fortunate who are hungry around the globe.
In 2007 as we approached our 10th anniversary, we decided to align our system around a global crisis that we were well positioned to address – hunger relief. Yum! and our Brands had a longstanding commitment to hunger in the U.S. through our Harvest program, contributing on average $50 million worth of prepared meals to hunger relief agencies across the country each year.
To address hunger on a global scale, we created our annual World Hunger Relief effort to raise awareness, volunteerism and funds for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other hunger relief organizations.
Today, Yum! Brands' World Hunger Relief effort is one of the world's largest private sector hunger relief initiative, spanning more than 125 countries and territories, with over 40,000 KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants and 1.5 million employees. Through the use of restaurant point of purchase materials, broadcast, print, online, social media, advertising and public service announcements, the campaign has grown year over year.
Multi-Grammy Award winner and international superstar Christina Aguilera is our World Hunger Relief effort's global spokesperson and she's featured in a new PSA this fall. The new PSA includes footage from Aguilera's recent field visit to Rwanda where she witnessed the effects of hunger first hand and helped beneficiaries of WFP's nutrition programs. Aguilera served food to hungry children and spent time with mothers and children at a refugee camp in Rwanda. Click here to read more about Aguilera as global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief.
Since its beginning in 2007, our World Hunger Relief effort has raised nearly $185 million for WFP and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 750 million meals and save the lives of millions of people in remote corners of the world. In 2012, World Food Program USA honored Aguilera and our Chairman and CEO, David Novak, at the State Department with the George McGovern Leadership Award for their hunger relief efforts.
Volunteerism is also a key component of our World Hunger Relief initiative and since 2007, 1.5 million of our employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered millions of hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. Our employees and franchisees volunteer their time around the globe at hunger relief agencies, food banks, soup kitchens and launch fundraisers.
Please join us in the movement to end global hunger. Every U.S. dollar raised will go directly towards WFP's operations to fight hunger around the world. One U.S. dollar provides four meals for hungry children at school. Click here to learn more.
Together we can save lives and move people from hunger to hope.

Brandishing bulldozers: The Beinart-Gordis debate
05/10/2012 23:25
Into the Fray: Last week's exchange in NY was disappointing – more for what was not said rather than what was.
Beinart vs Gordis
Photo: Courtesy
I wish you all, the parents and the entire tribe of settlers... restorers of the Jewish settlement in Hebron... great blessing and joy in raising your son. Bringing your son into the covenant of the Patriarch Abraham, in the city of Abraham after 40 years separation from it, has a special symbolic significance. It bears testimony to our continuous connection to this place, to which we have returned never to leave.
– Yigal Allon, January 29, 1969
These sentiments, conveyed in a congratulatory letter from the Labor Party's iconic moderate, to a family in Kiryat Arba, the Jewish neighborhood adjacent to Hebron, on the occasion of the first brit ceremony in the community, underscores how decoupled from historical fact and political context the discourse on the Palestinian issue has become.
Allon, who commanded the Palmah in the War of Independence, served as deputy prime minister, education minister and foreign minister under Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin.
He was arguably the first mainstream politician to explicitly propose making far-reaching territorial concessions in Judea and Samaria, in what came to be known as the Allon Plan. Yet even he, the archetypical "pragmatic" secular Zionist, understood the profound significance of Hebron for the Jewish people, its heritage and its nationhood.
Relativity of 'radicalism'
It is instructive to keep this in mind when assessing last week's debate between Peter Beinart and Daniel Gordis at Columbia University, sparked by the publication of Beinart's book
The Crisis of Zionism.
In the opening minutes of his address, Beinart berated the government for assisting in the construction of a cultural center in Kiryat Arba, which he dubbed "one of the most radical and remote settlements in the West Bank."
Radical? But wasn't it endorsed by a revered Labor leader, the author of the policy of "territorial concessions," as a "place to which we have returned never to leave"?
Indeed, wasn't it David Ben- Gurion who in 1970 declared, "We will make a great and awful mistake if we fail to settle Hebron, neighbor and predecessor of Jerusalem, with a large Jewish settlement, constantly growing and expanding, very soon."?
So what makes Kiryat Arba "radical" – established as it was in the era of Labor-hegemony, years before a Likud-led government was conceivable, in an era when Zionism was presumably still true to its liberal-humanistic principles, allegedly so dear to Beinart's heart?
Moreover, what makes it "remote"– barely 24 km. from the Malha shopping mall in Jerusalem, roughly the same distance from London's Whitechapel to Heathrow Airport – and considerably less than the distance from the US Capitol to Dulles International Airport in Washington? How "remote" is that?
Contextual lacunae and factual lapses
Nowhere could the unfortunate audience get the sense that "radical, remote" Kiryat Arba was created under the Labor Party, and situated so close to Israel's capital that both could easily fit within the confines of many Western cities. Nowhere could they get the sense that the development of the Jewish presence in Hebron was not some deranged initiative of renegade right-wing religious radicals, but a reflection of the vision of the founders of state – even those who embraced the "land-for-peace" formula.
It is thus a great pity that Gordis did not seize the opportunity to rectify this – along with many other contextual lacunae and factual lapses in Beinart's presentation. After all, as one of participants remarked, she came because "as a Jew invested in Israel, I thought it'd be an opportunity to educate myself."
And there was much need to "educate" the attendees in light of Beinart's cavalier attitude toward the truth – with regard to both what he said and what he didn't.
For it was not only the cultural center in Kiryat Arba that irked him. He also berated "this government" for supporting the cultural center in Ariel – a city of almost 20,000 residents and a University Center with a student population of 13,000.
For some reason, Beinart avoided mentioning (perhaps out of ignorance, perhaps not) that the establishment of Ariel was approved by none other than Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres while serving as defense minister under Nobel Peace Prize laureate Yitzhak Rabin, who never dreamed it would not remain under Israeli control in any future agreement.
Settlements: Sources and sponsors
Listening to Beinart one would never guess that settlements were a mainstream initiative, launched long before any "insidious" Likud government could hijack Zionism and distort its noble liberal principles, enshrined in Israel's declaration of Independence that he is so wont to refer to (more on that later).
I am certain that many in the Columbia crowd would have been astounded to learn that the real sponsor of the settlement project was not some wild-eyed, bearded rabbi or a shrill settler extremist, but none other than Shimon Peres himself. I am sure they would be astonished (as Beinart himself might be) to discover that Peres authored a book in which he prescribed the need to "create a continuous stretch of new settlements; to bolster Jerusalem and the surrounding hills, from the north, from the east, and from the south and from the west, by means of the establishment of townships, suburbs and villages – Ma'aleh Adumin, Ofra, Gilo, Beit El, Givon, to ensure that the capital and its flanks are secured, and underpinned by urban and rural settlements."
Peres elaborated: "These settlements will be connected to the Coastal Plain and Jordan Valley by new lateral axis roads; the settlements along the Jordan River are intended to establish the Jordan River as [Israel's] de facto security border; however it is the settlements on the western slopes of the hills of Samaria and Judea which will deliver us from the curse of Israel's 'narrow waist.'" (Compare and contrast Peres's use of the term "Judea and Samaria" with Beinart's recently proposed "undemocratic Israel.")
'Zionism' devoid of Zionist antecedents
Note that this policy prescription was articulated a decade before the "ominous specter" of Avigdor Liberman, the "illiberal" Russian immigrants or messianic Orthodox zealots – Beinart's pet villains – appeared on the political scene as a force of any significance, to sully the theory and practice of Zionism.
One can only wonder what real antecedents Beinart can invoke for the brand of cuddly Kumbaya Zionism he professes to embrace, and whose alleged abandonment has led to the growing alienation of young American Jewry. Certainly up until the end of the previous century, no Israeli leader of significance embraced it.
It would have been an anathema even to post-Oslo Yitzhak Rabin, who in his last address to the Knesset, in October 1995, advocated a permanent settlement with the Palestinians in which Israel's frontiers "will include the addition of Gush Etzion, Efrat, Betar and other communities east of what was the "Green Line... and [t]he establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria like the one in Gush Katif." (Again, note the terminology.)
Is Beinart lamenting the loss of a long-loved ideology or inventing (read "fabricating") a new, antithetical and unattainable ideal, which never existed in the past and can never exist in the future? Again, sadly, the contextual history of the settlement enterprise was not conveyed to the audience who were left largely uneducated on this score.
Misinformed or misleading?
As in Beinart's previous writings and appearances, so his address on this occasion was replete with distortions, half-truths and blatant untruths too numerous to refute in a single opinion column – even a lengthy one. But here are some of the more blatant.
In an attempt to portray the settlers as avaricious and self-seeking, Beinart alleges that "this government is essentially paying Israelis to move across the Green Line," claiming it "has reversed its predecessor and made significant chunks of the West Bank a national priority zone eligible for a host of subsidies."
I guess he must have missed the headlines earlier this year proclaiming that the settlements had been removed from the "national priority" category.
Thus under the heading, "Gov't to withhold aid from settlements" (February 2), Attila Somfalvi, political correspondent of Ynet, wrote: "The government has decided to exclude 70 West Bank settlements from the list of national priority areas," adding: "Government sources estimate that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was concerned that including the settlements in the list will hurt the latest efforts to restart the peace talks with the Palestinians."
That certainly puts a different spin on things, and suggests that care should be exercised before taking Beinart's words at face value.
While it is true that some questions regarding government aid for settlements in Judea and Samaria remain, the picture that emerged from the research I conducted for this article is that – in practice – virtually no government incentives are available to anyone wishing to "move across the Green Line." (I use the term "virtually" so as to err on the side of caution, as I am not aware on any such incentives. Perhaps Beinart could enlighten me.)
Enmity not ethnicity
Much of Beinart's chagrin is directed toward Israel's policy in Judea and Samaria which applies different administrative/legal systems to Israeli citizens and to non-Israeli Palestinian residents. For Beinart, this constitutes a "flagrant violation" of the pledge enshrined in Israel's Declaration of Independence to "ensure complete equality of social and political rights... irrespective of religion, race or sex."
One wonders if it is really necessary to explain to a professor of political science (as Beinart is) that the Declaration of Independence applies to a limited segment of humanity – Israeli citizens – not to the entire population of the world.
It is certainly not applicable to hostile aliens – at least potentially – of whom well over 90 percent support organizations (either Fatah or Hamas) whose founding documents call for the eradication of Israel.
To suggest, as does Beinart, that Israeli policy toward the Palestinians is based on considerations of ethnic identity reflects either ignorance or ill-will, and is robustly refuted by Israel's treatment of its citizens of other non-Jewish ethnic origin, who indeed enjoy "social and political rights... irrespective of religion, race or sex."
Any fair-minded assessment clearly shows that it is not Palestinian ethnicity but Palestinian enmity that lies at the root of the application of different administrative systems. Moreover, it is not this policy of differentiation that reflects racism but the demands for its abolition.
For these demands embody an inherent – but unequivocal – negation of the Jews' right to self-defense, an assumption that Jews can be assailed with impunity – and the expectation that Jews should die meekly. That is the real racism – a racism with which Beinart appears inextricably complicit.
Not a suicide pact
Since Beinart appears far more concerned with Palestinian suffrage than Israeli security he should remember that "West Bank" Palestinians are stateless not because of Israel, but because they were unilaterally – and apparently illegally – stripped of their Jordanian citizenship.
As one prominent Palestinian legal expert put it: "More than 1.5 million Palestinians went to bed on 31 July 1988 as Jordanian citizens, and woke up on 1 August 1988 as stateless persons."
Perhaps before recommending reckless abandon as a template for Israeli policy, Beinart would do well to refer to the wisdom expounded by some of the Supreme Court justices in his own country. For example, he might heed the words of the chief US prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, justice Robert Jackson, who cautioned that if one "does not temper [one's] doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, [one] will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact."
He might do well to peruse the opinion of justice Arthur Goldberg, who observed that "while the Constitution protects against invasions of individual rights, it is not a suicide pact."
Finally, Beinart might refer to the prudent sentiments of Thomas Jefferson, who pointed out that "strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest.... To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means."
Beinart should apply all this to the situation in which Israel finds itself. Perhaps this will generate the realization that just as the US Constitution is not a suicide pact, neither is the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
Brandishing bulldozers
I could go on disputing and refuting virtually every one of the points raised by Beinart in his debate with Gordis. Almost without exception they were demonstrably based on false assumptions or misrepresentations, omissions or exaggerations, half-truths or even untruths.
His sources were almost invariably some failed politician clinging forlornly to a discredited doctrine, embittered ex-civil servants or blatantly biased political organizations.
Yet for some reason, Gordis, who recently penned a rather telling riposte of Beinart's book in this paper, chose to be largely non-confrontational and to avoid assertively challenging either the credibility of Beinart's sources or the cogency of his arguments.
Although he began making an excellent opening point – that essentially there is "nothing Israel can do to end the conflict – not even land for peace" – he ended up severely undermining his case, declaring that he had no real disagreement with Beinart on most issues and that basically they shared the same vision for Israel – even if they differed on how to attain it. Acknowledging a priori that your adversary's case is essentially valid is not a recommended strategy for winning arguments.
Perhaps most disturbing was his reassuring Beinart he too had many reservations about the settlements and that "many are going to have to get bulldozed."
"We have shown in Gaza," continued Gordis, trying to convince Beinart that settlements are not a real obstacle to a viable Palestinian state, "that we know how bulldoze when we need to bulldoze."
That is not the lesson of the 2005 Gaza disengagement. The real lesson is that even if we do bulldoze, it is of no avail.
It is pity that Gordis chose not drive this home.
Idiot or enemy?
Whichever way you slice it, Peter Beinart is complicit in promoting the dangerous hoax of Palestinian statehood, and in a manner highly detrimental to Israel.
There are only two possible explanations for his actions: He is either sincere or he is not.
If he is sincere, he is merely a "useful idiot," and he should be treated as such. If he is not, then he is engaging in activities that are intentionally detrimental to Israel. He is, therefore, an enemy – and should be treated as such.

"Survivor" Star Has West Nile Virus
Lisa Whelchel, a Texas native who portrayed Blair Warner on The Facts Of Life and is a contestant on the current season of Survivor, has West Nile Virus.
The actress turned reality star reveled the illness on on Twitter earlier this week:
Dr. just called with blood test results…I have West Nile. Ugh. I'm fine, just tired. Takes a year to recover. :(—
Lisa Whelchel (@LisaWhelchel) November 13, 2012
The 49-year-old is expecting a full recovery:
I've been very touched by all the sweet tweets. Other than tired, I'm feeling fine & expecting a full recovery. So grateful for you. Thanks!—
Lisa Whelchel (@LisaWhelchel) November 14, 2012
It is not known whether Whelchel contracted the disease while filming Survivor, or if she is one of the over 5,000 cases in the United States this year.

Kim Kardashian is almost back in fighting shape. The bleached blonde reality star junked her flannel lumberjack shirt and let the world see what's going on with her new mom body in a cleavage-baring black dress at Givenchy's Japanese-themed Paris Week Fashion show on Sunday. Kim, who arrived with Kanye West, tweeted that the number was custom made for her in one day by Givenchy head designer Ricky Tisci.
Insiders say she gained around 65 pounds during her pregnancy (25 to 35 is the average) and has about 15 pounds more to shed.
Baby North was left at home in L.A. with grandma Kris and — we presume — five nannies. Meanwhile, Kris and Bruce Jenner are said to be fighting over their daughters Kylie and Kendall's education. The girls, 16 and 17 respectively, are currently homeschooled due to all their promotional work, but Bruce is said to be wanting them to get a "normal" college education and Kris doesn't agree.
Proud papa
Meanwhile, Paul McCartney was front and center Monday for daughter Stella McCartney's Paris Fashion Week show while she unveiled her spring/summer 2014 collection. The "cute Beatle" sat with wife, American socialite Nancy Shevell, gazing upon the runway, which was graced by lovelies like Cara Delevingne and Miranda Kerr.
New digs
Amanda Bynes' mental situation looks to be increasingly dire. TMZ reports the actress left the UCLA Medical Center for the more frou-frou celeb facility The Canyon, but friends and family fear this new place in Malibu won't provide her with the same type of care the 27-year-old was getting — and needs. Sources tell the gossip site that Bynes is still under a psychiatric hold, an LPS. It's part of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act of 1967, which means mentally unstable patients can be held in a facility against their will for treatment.
Sleepless nights
Leave it to Andy Cohen to get the dirt out of Teresa and Joe Giudice. The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple appeared on a special episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, and discussed the 39-count indictment brought against them in July. The indictment alleges the Giudices lied about multiple income sources and conspired to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud. "It's devastating," said Teresa, who maintained their innocence throughout the show. "I have anxiety and sleepless nights. I used to sleep like a baby, now I get up." Their trial begins in February.
Ri-Ri's world
In other Bravo reality show news, Rihanna's got one. Styled to Rock, premiering Oct. 25, will feature the superstar singer along with a few celeb guests and give aspiring designers a chance to create an outfit for a musical act each week. The prize: $100,000, a feature in Glamour magazine and a job on Rihanna's style team.
Pink and blue
Rachael Leigh Cook and husband, actor Daniel Gillies ( Spider-Man 2), welcomed a daughter. She's all that, Gillies tweeted: "The tiny new empress of my everything....immaculate."
Glee star Heather Morris and bf, high school sweetheart Taylor Hubbell, welcomed a baby boy.

New Orleans, La. - From the moment bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, investigators knew social media could play a role in solving the case.
Louisiana Marathon director Craig Sweeney was in the area just an hour before the blasts and posted videos to YouTube.
"Federal officials, they're asking whatever images you have, pictures, video, please share them so that it helps to find who did this," he said.
When the FBI unveiled pictures of the suspects Thursday, again, they asked for help from the public.
Mark Poepsel, an associate professor at Loyola, says never before has social media played such a role in a major manhunt.
"I think the combination of surveillance cameras and just the ubiquity of smart phone cameras helped them catch these guys faster than they would have in previous eras of technology," says Poepsel. "I think that having the public have these tools in their hands has helped in this case as much as it has hurt, if not more."
Poepsel says there is a downside to social media in investigations like this.
A thread on popular website Reddit incorrectly tied a missing Brown University student to the bombings.
People listening to police scanners on the Internet were posting tweets about police activity around Watertown.
The Boston Police Department tweeted, "Warning, do not compromise officer safety by broadcasting tactical positions of homes being searched."
Twitter stayed busy as the manhunt continued into Friday evening.
The website Trendsmap showed some of the top words trending across the U.S. and in New Orleans.
Among the popular words here, "Boston", "Watertown" and "bombers".
"It seems like it makes us more of a national community if you see people in New Orleans who all of a sudden care up until 2,3 in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning what's going on in Boston," says Poepsel. "The upside of that is we are connected with each other and we're showing that they do care about what's going on in other cities."
Friday night, Boston Police tweeted the words everyone had been waiting for:
"Captured! The hunt is over."

(WTOL) – Heading back to the mall this week now that crowds are gone? If returning unwanted gifts, there are some big changes in return policies for 2012.
There is good news and bad news for the 2011-2012 return season. The good news is fewer stores will charge a restocking fee. The bad news is many stores are shortening their return period, according to Consumer World.
Have a gift receipt? Then there is no time limit at Kohl's, Nordstrom's, Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond. Macy's has a very friendly return policy. Even without a receipt, a customer has 180 days to make an exchange. Toys R Us allows 90 days to return an item with a receipt, but just 45 days if it is an electronic item. Walmart also scores well for returns.
Sears is trickier. The time limit for returns varies on the item and department. Dillards is also tricky. Customers only have 30 days after Christmas to return an item.
Year after year Target makes the top of the list for tough return policies. According to Consumer World, Target has dropped its 15 percent restocking fee, but has shortened the return period on electronics from 90 days to 45 days. For all other departments, a customer has 90 days to return the item.
Best Buy also tops the list for complicated return policies. A customer only has two weeks to return computers, digital cameras and camcorders, but 30 days for other items. However, as of December 2011, Best Buy has also dropped its controversial restocking fee.
So remember that numerous stores have pushed up their return deadlines this year. Gather all receipts and packaging and be sure to get there sooner.
