Mexican drug gangs slug it out on YouTube
A bloody war between rival Mexican drug gangs has spilled onto YouTube where two competing cartels "taunt each other with blood-soaked slideshows and films of their murder victims", Reuters reports. The war between north eastern Mexico's "Gulf Cartel" - with its private army "Los Zetas", led by Osiel Cardenas, and "traffickers …
End prohibition - end drug gang violence?
Those blood spattered bodies were eerily reminiscent of gunned down gangsters from prohibition era news photos. Perhaps production and distribution of currently illegal drugs should be brought under legal control? Certainly, this behaviour is no longer seen in the alcohol trade.
This is the position held by 'The Economist' magazine:
and 'Law Enforcement Against Prohibition'
amongst many others.
As Dr Strangelove said "all that is required is ze vill to do it."
i agree with above
some people just wanna get high - let them.
the gov are more than happy for people to kill themselves with booze and tobacco as they make masses of tax revenue from them.
clamping down just drives things underground. if legalised at least we can monitor some of the more dodgy aspects that are going on (for example lacing weed with etched glass to improve weight and looks) and to control purity and strength
also it seems ridiculous to have the british medical association classing, say cannabis, far below all manner of legal things (tobacco killing many and 75% of violent crime, rape and murder being associated with alcohol) but the police clamping down. all they have done in clamping down on cannabis is make heroin now easier and cheaper to get hold of! well done Tony! maybe David Cameron might be more sympathetic :)

Colin Farrell you rule. We need all the support we can get from all Hollywood Stars.
Another absolute star in more ways than one!!
Oh Colin, I loved you in "A Home at the End of the World", and I'm so glad to see you supporting us here now.
Thank you Colin for supporting your brother and us all in the lgtb
you are a big actor and a fab one at that
Lady Tanya
Well done Colin! I now forgive you for "Alexander"(!!!) :-)
I second that, Mike (#5)!
Rehan, I've also forgiven Brad Pitt for "Troy" since he came out supporting Gay marriage in California…I'll be forgiving Mel Gibson for Braveheart next (I don't think!):-)
I've always liked Colin Farrell as an actor. Now I admire him for being the human being he is. God bless, Colin!
Colin Farrell loves fags – look at the picture used with this story – see what's in his hand.
He also loves gayfolk – and for that he deserves acclaim.

2014 Camaro SS Street Demon Custom exhaust by Kinney's Muffler Shop
The legacy of the Street Demon custom Exhaust continues. Chevrolet restyled the Camaro to be a bit more
refined and clean. We just kept doing what we've been doing here at
Kinney's by bulding the perfect performance Exhaust system for this car! At the very heart
of this ultimate sounding system is our Kinney's exclusive Street Demon
performance mufflers. These unique strait through mufflers bring out a
smooth yet crisp roar that is like no other sound around. We start off our
good looking system with a hydroformed "X" pipe which precisely balances
and tunes the Exhaust for perfect
torque and horsepower delivery.
Finishing out the system we offer many beautiful choices of tips and our
customer made a good call. Our very own "Elite" black powder coat tips were
just the ticket. Kinney's has one of the largest selections of chrome and
stainless steel tips to choose from not to mention our very own line up of
custom built and Elite powdercoated versions! The final results of our
Street Demon system is a distinctive look and sound outside without an
overbearing tone inside. Expect horsepower gains of between
13-15 while turning heads with the deep and aggressive tone. Kinney's
requires your vehicle in house to produce the precise results we are known
for and does not "build to ship" our unique systems so call to schedule
your Camaro today!!

Kit Hinrichs has been a partner of Pentagram since 1986,
when his West Coast branch of the bicoastal association Jonson,
Pedersen, Hinrichs & Shakery became Pentagram's San Francisco
office. His work, such as the 22 annual reports he has designed for
the paper company Potlatch and his design of @Issue: The
Journal of Business and Design (that he co-founded,) is
characterized by its narrative quality and an encyclopedic set of
references. His instincts as a visual storyteller and a collector
inform his work and his 3,000-piece-strong collection of American
flags and American flag memorabilia has formed the basis of several
exhibitions and two books.
In 1963 Hinrichs, just graduated from the Art Center College of
Design, CA, arrived in New York to look for illustration and design
work. After three years of working in several New York design
offices, including Designers 3 and the Reba Sochis design office,
he formed an independent design consultancy with Anthony Russell.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Standard and Poor's downrated by charges
Institutions accused of financial misconduct typically resort to a couple of favourite excuses.
One is the "everyone else was doing it" defence familiar to parents of misbehaving children. London-based Barclays, among others, used this one to explain why it manipulated a key benchmark interest rate.
Another is the "unforeseen events overtook us" line. Richard Fuld, the former CEO of Lehman Bros., made this one famous by contending that his recklessly leveraged investment bank fell victim to "uncontrollable market forces."
Now it's the turn of Standard & Poor's, the credit rating agency that slapped AAA ratings on bundles of toxic mortgages in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. Charged with fraud by the Justice Department on Monday, S&P combined both the conformity and ignorance defences.
"S&P, like everyone else, did not predict the speed and severity of the coming crisis," said the company, which has a core mission of assessing and anticipating risk.
It's all well and good that the Justice Department finally got around to charging S&P for putting sterling ratings on piles of junk. But, regardless of whether the government lawsuit succeeds, it does nothing to alter the fundamental conflict of interest afflicting the credit ratings industry and the investors who rely on its products.
The industry operated under, and still operates under, a flawed business model that crushes honesty and independent analysis. This model is called "issuer pays." It's the equivalent of movie studios hiring their own film reviewers. The rating agencies get paid directly by the institutions selling the securities being rated, which puts pressure on the agencies to give high ratings or risk losing business to competitors. The system turns the agencies into marketing arms of the Wall Street banks instead of the independent watchdogs they are supposed to be.
Inflated ratings on toxic bundles of loans, many of them subprime and no-doc mortgages, were a key contributor to the housing bubble and subsequent economic bust. Had the credit agencies been in a position to give accurate ratings without seeing their revenue tank, they could have thwarted much of the mischief from Wall Street bankers, mortgage brokers and others.
But they didn't. Not at S&P and not at other agencies. In one e-mail released by the Justice Department, an S&P analyst said "leadership was concerned of p*ssing off too many clients" if deals were downgraded "before this thing started blowing up." Another analyst's e-mail in March 2007 included a parody of the Talking Heads song Burning Down the House: "Subprime is boi-ling o-ver. Bringing down the house."
Funny stuff.
Amazingly, the issuer-pays system is still in place. When the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform measure was being considered, the Senate adopted a bipartisan amendment that would have replaced the system with one where credit ratings would be randomly assigned by a newly created federal authority. The issuer would still underwrite the cost but would lose its ability to reward or punish agencies based on their ratings.
Regrettably, this was watered down in the final version of the law, which called for a study and gave the Securities and Exchange Commission the authority, but not a mandate, to implement such a system. So far, it has not.
Other models include having the buyers of debt products pay for the ratings. This is the most honest approach. Generally, if someone wants a complex issue researched, he or she has to pay for the research to get it done, or risks getting a biased product. This approach has enough opposition, however, that the randomly assigned ratings might be the best bet.
What won't work is to leave the flawed system in place.

This week's release is "Hand Upsells That Can Boost Your Numbers".
For those new to Freebie Friday, we are sending out samples from our BIG LAUNCH class (opening up in late December) so you can get a feel for what's inside.
These freebies are what we call the "Launch Multipliers", which are 108 tactical training modules that come with the class and are designed to boost your conversion during a launch.
So! Without further ado, let's get to today's lesson.
(We have links for you to download the audio or written version below, followed by the full text of the lesson.)
Hand Upsells That Can Boost Your Numbers
… or, read it below!
Hand Upsells That Can Boost Your Numbers
Hello, and welcome. I'm Naomi from IttyBiz and you are listening to the BIG LAUNCH launch multipliers. This track is called Hand Upsells That Can Boost Your Numbers.
We know a lot of students will be going into this module saying to themselves "Wait a minute – I don't hand sell anything. I sell digital stuff online." If that's you, this module still applies to you in its entirety. When we're talking about hand sells, we're referring to the act of manually contacting a customer with some level of personalization in order to try and make an additional sale.
So if you're selling digital products, and you have access to the email addresses, physical addresses or phone numbers of your customers, this module is still 100% for you. So pay attention, because this will make you money.
We're going to be talking about a lot of different kinds of upsells in this month's Class Pack, and it's a complex subject that deserves as much airtime as it can get. Now, saying it's a complex subject doesn't necessarily mean it's a complicated subject, though it would be easy to assume that those two words mean essentially the same thing. They don't, and it's important to know that going in.
The important difference between complex and complicated
When we say that something is complicated, what we often mean is that it's hard, or confusing, or whatever flavor of word you want to use to communicate the idea that this stuff is downright difficult. There are a lot of areas of launch and business and general that can be considered complicated and difficult, but that's not what we're dealing with here. We're dealing with complexity.
What makes complexity different is that it really just means that there are a number of factors you have to consider. It's a lot like answering a question like "Do you want to go to a concert with me on the 25th of August?" I ask you that and you may think something like "It depends. I'll have to see if I can get out of work early that night, arrange childcare, and free up some money for the tickets, cab ride and t-shirts I'll inevitably buy."
When something is complex, you just have to look at the moving pieces if you can make it work. You're not orchestrating a moon landing. You're just arranging a number of details.
Upsells are like that, too. They aren't complicated. When it comes down to it, it really isn't any more difficult than saying the proverbial "Do you want fries with that?" All you're doing is saying "Since you're already buying this do you want this other thing, too?"
However! Just because an upsell isn't difficult doesn't mean that it's inherently easy. There's a lot of psychology at play that has nothing to do with the upsell itself and nothing to do with the buyer either.
It has everything to do with you, though, so we're going to talk about that now.
Calm down, tiger (or how to not freak out about offering an upsell)
The number one thing we see in clients and customers that prevents them from entering the very lucrative world of upsells is fear. Fear of selling, fear of rejection, fear of getting a nasty response from a customer – these are probably the most common types of fears we hear about. And those fears keep the upsell process from ever getting started.
This kind of fear is natural, normal, and completely possible to overcome. You just have to step out of your head for a little bit and enter the head of the customer. That can be hard, though, because you're the seller, not the buyer, and you've got a lot of skin in the game. You have a lot invested in keeping your customers happy and not doing anything that might affect the sales you already made with them.
Here's the thing, though – people are very, very used to upsells. When I said "Do you want fries with that?" I'm pretty sure you didn't scratch your head and say to yourself "I've never encountered that kind of question before." You get upsold all the time, whether you take advantage of the proverbial discount on fries or not. You're used to hearing the upsell and you're very well conditioned to feeling like it's a natural and normal part of commerce. As the customer.
As the seller, though, it's often a different story.
If you don't have a very solid background in sales, then selling is going to feel weird. It's going to go out of your comfort zone to ask people to part with their money in the first place, so asking them to part with even more money is likely to feel like taking something scary and making it scarier. And increasing the personal communication to the point where you can pull off a hand upsell is adding a heaping helping of scary on top of that.
Here's what you need to know about upselling going in. The very worst thing a customer can do to you, the far and above worst-case scenario when you try and upsell them, is to say no.
You offer them an additional product or service to buy, and if they don't want it, they'll say no. That's truly the worst thing they can do.
Now, you're probably thinking "Wait a minute, I can totally think of a lot worse situations than that. What if they write me a nasty email? What if they want a refund on the first thing they bought? What if they have a really bad taste in their mouth that makes them go into the thing they've already bought feeling like they already hate me a little bit? That's worse. That's way worse than saying no."
I agree. All of those scenarios are worse than a simple "No thank you" or a complete lack of response to an upsell you sent them via email. I won't argue that.
What I will argue is that they have anything to do with the fact that you offered them an upsell.
Let's discuss.
If someone is the kind of person who is going to write you a nasty email, it doesn't just happen out of the ether. Normal, well-adjusted people don't just decide to start a flame war on you because you offered them something. If that were true, you'd notice the people at McDonalds bracing for a customer tirade every time they tried to upsell an apple pie.
If someone's the kind of person who is going to flip their lid and send you an angry email, or yell at you on the phone, then they were probably going to do that anyway. You could be getting in touch with them to say "Hey, I hope you're enjoying your purchase," and they'll blast their rage all over you. It doesn't happen because you got in touch. If they get angry, that's their fault.
Now, if your attempt at an upsell-related contact is ham-fisted, or pushy as hell, or disrespectful or self-absorbed, yes, you might get an angry response. But again, that has nothing to do with the fact you asked. It has to do with the fact you asked like a pushy salesman with no social graces. If they get angry there, well, that's your fault.
The point is that an angry response does not happen in a vacuum. Either they're on edge already, or you're doing your sales job badly. But the act of asking is not risky in itself. The action of asking for a sale only causes the reaction of yes, no or maybe. Anything outside of that is outside of that.
What to do when it's not all sunshine and roses
Now, does the above mean that you'll never experience anything negative when offering an upsell? No. You totally will. You'll totally get nastygrams. You'll totally get the occasional person who was feeling buyer's remorse after their initial purchase decide they want a refund. You can't avoid that, because that's called "doing commerce in the real world." That part's not sexy and fun.
But, that doesn't have to be a problem. If someone sends you an angry response, you just keep your cool, chalk them up as a crazy, and either respond with grace and class or delete their email. If someone asks you for a refund, you can cheerfully give it to them because the money you make from your successful upsells will more than make up for it, presuming it's a good upsell.
It's no different from asking people on dates. Approaching them may be scary, and the fear of rejection or embarrassment may be paralyzing, but once you do it and do it consistently you'll notice that the downsides are short-lived and not that big a deal, and wow, you're going on a lot of really good dates.
Upsells are like that. If you're freaking out at the idea of asking people for even more money, we're not telling you that you're freaking out about nothing. We're telling you that the freak-out is a lot smaller than you imagine, and it goes away pretty fast once you get some practice.
Now, let's talk about the practicalities of hand upselling.
As we said at the beginning of this module, a hand upsell is essentially something you do by hand – which doesn't mean that it's not automated – it just means that it's not completely automated, and the customer can tell that it's not completely automated.
- If you are selling in person and you offer an upsell, it's a hand upsell.
- If you call a customer on the phone and offer an upsell, it's a hand upsell.
- If you send out a form letter with a handwritten note that says "I thought you might like this offer", that's a hand upsell.
- If you copy-and-paste the same upsell message into 100 different emails, and you type their first name in the body and you send it from your own personal email account so they can reply directly to you, that is still a hand upsell.
Even though it's mostly automated, it's obvious to the customer that it came from you personally and not you through an impersonal mechanism.
And because it has some level of personalization in it – which doesn't mean that it has their first name in it, it just means some kind of personal attention is evident in it – people are more likely to pay attention.
They pay more attention because they know some level of care was taken. And that does two things in your favor.
- First, it makes it stand out from all the automated stuff they get from everyone else. And that may make the difference that keeps your email from not getting deleted or your envelope from not getting thrown out. A handwritten address commands a lot more attention than a computer-printed one if you're doing physical mailings.
- Second, it has a chance of building some level of intimacy with the customer. A thank-you note from someone you give a gift to makes you kind of like them a little more. A personal note from a seller to you kind of makes you feel like they like you a little more. You're bonding. You're building trust. And that tends to increase conversion more than just a little bit.
The bottom line is that if there is any way you can manage a personal communication with a customer, even if it is under the most tenuous of circumstances, you stand a very good chance of boosting conversion.
All that said, a hand upsell is pretty simple.
You find some reasonable reason to get in touch, you make an offer that has a reasonable level of congruency to the original purchase your customer made, and you encourage them to act on that offer.
Because we don't know whether you are selling luxury candles on Amazon, digital products online or $10,000 bespoke evening gowns, we can't just give you the magical template for your perfect upsell. But we can give you a few examples to help you see how it's done.
Example One!
Let's say you have an upsell on your sales page and your customer doesn't take it. You can send a personal email (either from you or from your customer support person) that simply thanks them for their purchase and welcomes them to reply with any feedback they have about the thing they bought. Basically, "Thanks for sending me money. I hope you like what you bought."
Then you can, without making a big deal out of it, mention that they can still take advantage of your upsell. Something like "One more thing – if you're interested you can still get 40% this other thing for the next three days. Just click the link below if you'd like to get your discount."
Then you close the email courteously and you're good to go. If they don't want your thing, they think "Hey, I got a nice thank you email." If they do want your thing, they send you money. We've seen this kind of email convert very well both for clients and for ourselves.
Example Two!
Let's say you don't have a particular upsell on the thing you're launching but after your launch is done you realize you had a perfectly good thing you could have upsold them.
After you're done smacking your forehead with your palm, you shoot them a similar email saying "Hey, thanks for purchasing this thing. As a little token of our appreciation, we'd love to offer you a 20% discount on this other thing for the next few days. Free shipping, too. Just click the link and you're good to go."
Again, this is just a thank you email, which happens to include an upsell. And what that means is that any communication you have with the customer – whether it's a simple thank you or a reply to an after-the-fact email they initiate to you – is an opportunity to drop in a surprise upsell. If you're relaxed enough about it, you can upsell just about anything you like.
Example Three!
If you're shipping something physical, you can contact the customer with a "before we ship" email. Here you're basically saying "Your order is scheduled to ship in 3 days. We wanted to check to see if you'd like to throw in this other thing at a discount before we send it – no extra shipping charges required."
You've got implied urgency there and a very reasonable reason for the contact. For physical product sellers, this is an incredibly easy way to get some extra sales flowing.
Example Four!
You can cut a deal based on a customer's past purchasing patterns if you have the data. If you have three products that all cost $50, and they've bought two of them, you can get in touch with an email that says "Hey, we're offering a special discount for our best customers. We see you picked up X for $50 and Y for $40 during our Spring Sale – and we'd like to offer you a personal discount where you can get Z for only $25. If you'd like it, here's your custom coupon code."
This works insanely well if you execute it with some basic finesse. And the reason it works so well is because it is legitimately special. They are getting a special upsell deal based on their purchasing history – which you reference – so the communication is very intimate, even if it's automated.
Maybe you're giving that $25 offer to everyone who has bought anything ever. But to the customer, it's personal. You took the time to reference their data. They feel noticed and special. And they are noticed and special. They don't have illusions that you're thinking about them while you're chopping the carrots for dinner, but they at least feel like they're not just a faceless number to you. Everybody – you, me, and the mailman – enjoys being noticed. It brightens the day.
And it works even better if you can add customization to the purchase process. We often use custom coupon codes based on the customer's first name. That makes it more personal, but to be honest, it's just kind of fun. If I can type "NAOMI" into a coupon code field on an order form, that's hilarious. It's a break from the everyday. And it boosts conversion.
So these are just a few examples that you can use to get started with figuring out how you might like to execute a hand upsell. Yes, they take more time than automated upsells. But they convert at a higher rate – sometimes significantly higher. We do them all the time, because the payoff is worth it. Ten extra hours sending personal emails can net thousands of dollars in additional sales.
So, give hand upselling a try. It's good stuff.

Referencing the three founding brothers' last name, not their religion, The Christians is a soul-influenced new wave band formed in the UK in 1985. Though the group never achieved widespread success in the US, it had several singles hit the Top 10 spots on the UK Charts in the 80s and 90s. The band broke up in 1995 due to front man Garry Christian embarking on a solo career, but in 1999, he reformed the band with an entirely different lineup; the new incarnation tours and releases new material today.

If classical composers were provided electric guitars, basses, keyboards and drum sets; they'd probably make music that sounds similar to Yes. The English group was founded in the late 60s and is primarily known for combining elements of symphonic orchestrations with aspects of progressive rock. The band's songs tend to highlight each members instrumental prowess and though the group has transcended multiple music genres, it is best regarded for its innovation with the progressive rock genre.

The IT organization at Arizona State University (ASU) overcame challenges that plague many institutions, including managing demand intake, prioritizing work, and visibility into resource capacity. During a webcast on May 14 hosted by Planview®, Patricia Schneider, program director at ASU will discuss how the University Technology Office (UTO) adopted project portfolio management (PPM) software and implemented best practices to ensure resources are working on the right projects.
Webcast Title: "Streamlining Planning and Programs at Arizona State University: Improving Demand Intake, Prioritization, and Visibility with PPM"
- Patricia Schneider, program director, ASU
- Jerry Manas, senior editor, Planview, and best-selling business author
Description: When organizations lack a central process to capture work and do not have prioritization and planning methods in place, projects often get clogged in the pipeline, slow output, and drain resources. ASU needed to address and resolve such challenges to better understand demand and IT spend. During this webcast, Pat will share their approach to resolving these issues including:
- Implementing leading portfolio and resource management software, best practices, and processes to prioritize incoming work
- Providing metrics, reporting, and analytics for visibility and transparency to its user community and executives to better understand how and where IT investments are used across campus
- Ongoing techniques to continue to mature portfolio management practices
Find out how they chose what to tackle first! The audience will gain practical insight to transform their own approach to planning and programs in their organizations.
Date and Time: Wednesday, May 14th, 2:00 p.m. EDT
Registration: Planview.com/ASUwebcast

Front offices continue to turn over Brad Biggs
NFL front offices begin to turn over following the draft and that continues in many cities.
In Philadelphia, the Eagles are not renewing the contract of Louis Riddick, the club's director of pro personnel for the previous three years. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a change is being made moves could officially be announced later this week.
Riddick joined the Eagles in 2008 after working in the personnel department of the Washington Redskins for seven years. He interviewed for the general manager job in 2010 when Howie Roseman was hired. Philadelphia hired Tom Gamble as vice president of player personnel at the start of the offseason and he could be lining up his own guy to replace Riddick.
Riddick played safety in the NFL before entering the scouting business.
