A new batch of sticker fun
A few short years ago, if a riot broke out somewhere in the world, you found out about it the next morning when your newspaper was delivered, or on the 6 o'clock news. Nowadays, news spreads at the click of a button, with millions of smartphones connected to Twitter and Facebook. Riots in Vancouver less than two months ago were seen almost instantly through pictures and videos as people used smartphones to record what they saw and upload to social networking. As a result, police were able to apprehend many people who were involved in the looting and destruction.
This weekend rioting again broke out, this time in London. Stemming from a peaceful protest over the shooting of a man named Mark Duggan, things quickly escalated and the gathering erupted into violence. As seen in Vancouver, the destruction and looting was spread across social media and in moments the whole world knew what was happening, including pictures of the people responsible.
This time around, however, the gangs of rioters found that using BlackBerry Messenger was a fast and easy way to communicate with like minded individuals, quickly organizing pockets of riots. Because BBM messages are encrypted, and require an exchange of PIN numbers, they are private - unlike Twitter or Facebook.
Research In Motion has agreed to work with law officials in London to help catch people who were instigators in the riots.
"As in all markets around the world where BlackBerry is available, we co-operate with local telecommunications operators, law enforcement and regulatory officials," said Patrick Spence, RIM's managing director of global sales.
"Similar to other technology providers in the UK we comply with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and co-operate fully with the Home Office and UK police forces."
With luck the responsible parties will be brought to justice soon, and London can begin rebuilding. Thanks to everyone that sent in tips regarding this.
I dont see why UAE and India wanted BBM bans if RIM will hand over communications in cases such as these.
Because RIM only has the data if the messages via BIS passed through their NOC. If the BB is on a BES RIM does not have the data. Thus the set up of an exchange server and BES would circumvent RIM or the government having access to communications.
That's because countries run by White Christian or Christians in general (black Christian Obama for example) have softer rules on human rights. British can kill, rape and hurt anyone they like with no one questioning them. But India and UAE will not be allowed to do that without attacks from the Western companies like RIM.
Last time we had a huge riot issues in South Asian pro-Christian Western companies said, "its the govt that violates rights... so we don't give any info to the govt".
According to iron rule of the Western Christians, West never commit human rights violations what so ever. That's why HINDU India is against RIM.
Obama is a christian and he is mixed.
I don't see why RIM should give up the information. It's not any of their business. This is a sad day for liberty across the globe.
That was not the main problem, it was the fact that people including goverment employees were using BBs and their communitations and data was going out of those countries to RIM servers and back, it was not self contained withing that country / carrier... encrypted or not they were concerned that their data was easily available by US and Canadian goverments...
This is a perfect example of how easily RIM hands the information, imagine the CIA or other US goverment agencies asking RIM to hand all data for some users in other countries?
would rim be so quick to hand over compromising messages between rogue police too? trust me there are a lot of them in the uk, particularly the met in london.
A moment's thought and a search of those already arrested should provide the obvious answer. Nobody said these are smart guys, simply being involved in a riot proves that. The final confirmation would be found in the BBM messages on the non-password protected smartphone found in the prisoner's pocket.
Is how will the BlackBerry hate currently being spewed will incorporate this into their anti-RIM agenda.
Oh right so bbm isn't Secure...????? Bang out of order RIM..
They knew Earl 3 because journalists have been posing as rioters and getting pins..
Büt That's dangerous territory rim playing into the hands of our corrupt goverment..I mean you advertise it as Private..
Anyhow you've just probably increased the sale of blackberrys even more with that BBV newsflash..lol..don't cock it up by abusing that privacy like the rest of the low life google etc.
This is major news here in the UK - it's really unbelievable. More people than probably ever before in the UK now know what BBM is - it's getting major flack for its use by rioters (eg 'London riots: how BlackBerry Messenger played a key role' - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/aug/08/london-riots-facebook-twitte...).
Looks as though RIM's strategy to expand their market share by selling cheap curves to teens is backfiring a bit. Sad to see BlackBerry and BBM being used in this way, and for people to hear BlackBerry mentioned in so many news reports about the riots.
Grow up and have some sense of responsibility, we are talking about mindless thugs burning people out of their homes and destroying business in a Capital city. These people have no respect for authority, property or the rule of law.
We are not talking about disaffected, impoverished down trodden masses here. We are talking about mindless thugs who are burning the elderly, infirm and needy out of their homes and creating an intolerable situation for ordinary working people.
If you do nothing wrong then you should have nothing to fear. Obviously people have a right to privacy, but dont bite that hand that feeds you, dont attack the very authorities that you and your family rely on then act like a coward and hide behind the "I have the right to privacy" argument.
get some sense of perspective...you cant behave like an animal irrespective and blame RIM for assisting law enforcement. This is the right thing to do. Well done RIM!!
So, if China blocks violent protects, it is a human rights violation, but when mostly White Christian nation blocks a violent protect, just forget about international BS human rights and privacy laws?
Double standard! One law for the West and another for the anti-West. So much for moral high grounds!
RIM phones should be banned in India, China and most non-Westren countries ALL together. Power is shifting from the West to East and I am sure MORE people lose their jobs in the West as the power shifts!
"when mostly White Christian nation"
You obviously haven't been to the UK. I suppose you could argue it's mostly white (though there's a healthy minority of every race and colour), but it's certainly not Christian in anything but name.
"I am sure MORE people lose their jobs in the West as the power shifts!"
Sounds like you're looking forward to it. You're right of course, but before the entire thing collapses there'll be a war. Probably when the US refused to redeem it's bonds.
Corporate America may be happy to offload jobs while buying cheap subsidised product from China, but ordinary Americans aren't that stupid.
But that's a whole other discussion for a different forum/board.
Ah... the truth hurts eh? We had a riot in South Asia. But RIM refused to release any data to the govt. Why? Non-Christian government apparently NOT allow to get access to data because we commit human rights and you don't. British have access to the data whenever they want while Govnt of India has to go through lawyers to get it. Period.
Please get your facts straight. China used force and violence against the protesters in Tianamin Square (sp). That is a blatant Human Rights violation. Just like any Communist,Marxist or any other non-free country. You may think India is a haven and all is well, but rest assured you are not without your faults.
And when is it a RIGHT to Violently Protest anything?
Peaceful protests are guaranteed by our Constitution. But I see nothing that says we have the right to Burn, Destroy and commit crimes to be heard.
You see the beauty of our Nation is this we can disagree and protest right in front of the White House if we desire, or have are voices heard through other non-violent means. but when we lower ourselves to violence and commit a crime we have given away our rights to protest.
The East on the other hand have been oppressed for years and the only thing that gets the Gov't attention is violence. how many peaceful protests get heard in the east?
What about this law abiding family who was subject to the same RIP act just for filling out a school application for their children. So if school officials are suspicious, than all rights to privacy are removed. They'll read your bbm, listen to your phone calls, emails, etc... all without your knowledge.
There's a bunch of other cases where RIPA has been used that don't seem to warrant a total loss of privacy or a total violation of civil liberties. Next they'll spy on you for political views. It's a slippery slope and we've just dropped the soap.
Agreed - there has never been any historical basis for trusting in government, law enforcement, or prosecution. Their incentive is to control and convict "the bad guys" the only problem is that the good guys get sacrificed in the name of justice as well.
Well said @blue81to.
Find me a government that hasn't abused it's powers over it's people innocent or guilty - and I'll change my opinion. But there is NO historical basis for trust in the government.
Never mind, post was moved.
I understand how bad these people may be but the very fact that RIM is supposed to be secure should be enough of a reason for them not to hand over the information. Your argument that if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about is misguided. Your trust in law enforcement and prosecution are misguided as well. They plant information on the very hard working people that you seem to believe have the ultimate rights over the rest.
If one person has rights - we all have rights. It's as simple as that. This is frustrating to see RIM get involved like this.
According to the RIP act passed in 2000, RIM has to give up the info.
In April 2008, it became known that council officials in Dorset put three children and their parents under surveillance, governed by RIPA, at home and in their daily movements to check whether they lived in a particular school catchment area.
The UK government can spy on you for even the slightest suspicion. I wonder what will be the criteria for who's bbm conversations are released? Will it be anyone who's Jamaican and lives in northern London? Or will they actually pick out people one by one based on some kind of evidence?
BBM is extremely secure. As the article points out.
However, if the traffic went through RIM's NOC they will have some traceability. And I guess that's what the police want.
Not so much what was said but who said it.
Sounds like they have the BB of some of those arrested, and are trying to trace back to the message originator. They'll already have the content from the confiscated devices. Otherwise, how did they know BB was used?
Of course if the criminals are on a BES they may never find out.
Mmmm your sort of right on one level, but who are rim and the authorities to decide when something should be private..? Just because things aren't going your way doesn't mean you just suddenly change the rules. That privacy is used for good as well, and tptb can eavesdrop on that as well now..Power is corrupt especially the UK police..
My argument is simply privacy not whether rioters are animals or not.. 55a although I agree with most you write I totally disagree with the phrase..." if you've done nothing wrong you've nothing to worry about" is weak and giving away your power..
Riots in London fueled wholly by a lack of self control and common sense.
Why do you even need to reference at all? The whole point of that sentence was to bring out the idea of how social media plays a part in riots. If you use a general statement saying how social media plays a role in riots, no one will refute that. People understand the purpose of social media websites. There is no need for an example.
That would mean that the writer is ASSUMING that everyone agrees with her OPINION with nothing annotated that supports said statement.
Saying social media can play a role in riots is an opinion.
Saying social media was used in the Vancouver riots is a fact.
See what I mean? Do you want a writer to state nothing but opinions or include facts as well?
No, I do not see what you mean. Saying social media plays (not can play, but play) a role in riots is NOT AN OPINION. Just browse through those sites and you'll see the whole POINT of those sites. Saying that does not necessarily mean that EVERYONE has to agree.
And what's the point of saying social media was used in the Vancouver riots? Is it to prove that social media websites can play a role in riots? Well gee, aren't we just going in a loop...
With blackberry's being so affordable its no surprise that they're being used by the rioters. You walk around a school and 9 out of 10th kids have a blackberry.
BBM is not nearly as encrypted as everyone is assuming.
ALL BBM and PIN messages use the same encryption key, which is saved on every blackberry and is therefor easily decryption. Even with BES.
It is possible for a BES Administrator to use a custom encryption key but then you can only BBM/PIN with other users on the same BES server. This is very rarely implemented.
The encryption makes it more difficult to intercept than an SMS message it doesn't prevent anything. The fact that all PIN/BBM messages go through the RIM NOC actually provides a easy place to intercept the messages. Just ask India, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.
I think we should all ask ourselves.
Do we want to live in a eugenic, totalitarian, orwellian state where freedom and liberty is a thing of legend from an ancient past long forgotten?
Youth gangs in Chicago were using similar methods to arrange "flash gang" attacks to mug people around metro stations in the loop just recently. They even all dressed alike in white tee shirts, jeans, sneakers and ball caps, then showed up at the exact same time from every direction, attacked, and calmly left in different directions like nothing ever happened.
Interesting commentary from the BBC:
BBM and Twitter are to blame. Maybe.
Rioters were seen to be using air while speaking to incite others to riot with them. Air is therefore a material device with potential terrorist conspiracy applications and will henceforth be investigated and regulated per the RIPA, Patriot Act, and Code of Machiavelli. Anyone in contact with air will be required to maintain records on all their uses of air, including all recipients and the content and time of all communications made through air. Failure to comply shall result in excommunication from air. All parties to distribution and processing of air must now comply with not only HIPA but also RIPA, and cooperate with the Home Office, the Foreign Office, Scotland Yard, MI-6, the HSC, the FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, the KGB, the SS, Interpol, and the Empire in maintaining and sharing secret records of the origin and movements of all air molecules passing through their systems. Further taxes shall be levied on the general population because of how a minority of people have abused air on very rare occasions. However, politicians shall be exempt from regulations concerning mis-use of air.
I was about to say think goodness I live in America and not the U.K. until I thought about the Patriot act :(
No, by the time my contract is up, BlackBerry OS will be obsolete and iPhone 6 will be out... probably with 200 back doors through the security... on second thought, maybe I will buy a 9900 or one of the new Storm 3's, er, "Torch" models, before a competitor reads my memos on future products.
Just to clarify whats happening in london and the bbm relation...the encryption element is NOT the reason these rioting kids are using bbm, they have no idea how secure it is. The reason they are using bbm is because they can send out a broadcast to their whole phone saying "meet up, 6pm at 'x' " and they dont care about being secure or people knowing who's sending the messages. They are using their bb's (aswell as rumourville on twitter/fb) to quickly organise these flash gangs in real-time.
The encrytion question is being raised by the police and the media because they cant read these bbm messages because of the security. Now RIM have said they may hand over the 'master key' so the police can access these messages, but the problem will be that they will only be able to read old messages, nothing in real time.
I have a suspiscion that if these riots continue (and they've spread to other cities around the uk now) that the police/goverment will ask for the BBM networks to simply be shut down so they cant be used. If these gangs cant communicate, the polices job will become ever so slightly easier as the gangs wont know where to go in large numbers.
This is major news here in the UK - it's really unbelievable. More people than probably ever before in the UK now know what BBM is - it's getting major flack for its use by rioters (eg 'London riots: how BlackBerry Messenger played a key role' - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/aug/08/london-riots-facebook-twitte...).

George gives back more than anyone I have ever known. I was the development director for Special Olympics here in Austin several years back. One of the largest fundraisers at that time was the Torch Run where police officers from across Texas sell t-shirts to help pay for the Special Olympics sporting events. George was ALWAYS the top fund raiser from Austin and also participated in many of the Special Olympics special events. He's a true hero with a heart of gold.

We've wrapped up the book tour for Melissa Ford's third novel in the Life From Scratch series, Apart at the Seams. And we're fortunate today to have the author herself answering questions our very curious book group put to her.
Book Tourist: How did you accumulate so many foreign-words-with-no-real-
Melissa Ford: It started with a word that actually wasn't used in the book: protekcja. I was working on a draft of the book and had to use that word in conversation with someone on Facebook. It's this huge idea of protections/connections/
Why a sideways sequel? How did you ever think of such an awesome idea? Did you write both books at the same time or separately? What did you learn from the experience about your own perceptions of other people and situations?
I've seen it done a bunch of times, and I've always enjoyed it myself. And it made sense to apply it to this situation. I think we all think we know things about our friends, and if we were to actually be able to shift perspectives, we'd see how little we understand.
You've written on your blog about visiting The Daily Show in researching this book. What other research did you do (for this or your prior fiction?
I spent a lot of time speaking with a designer at Narciso Rodriguez too. I knew NOTHING about television production or about fashion — so why did I choose two professions I knew nothing about to become major plot points? Never again.
I feel as if everything potentially becomes research for a book: travel, interesting conversations, visiting someone at their work place. I'm always tucking aside little things I notice and thinking, "that could bring some verisimilitude to a future book."
Arianna is single, a mom, and driven, however she cohabits with a guy who appears to be the opposite and balances her type A personality. She shares, "Ethan isn't exactly the poster child for responsibility." I disagree. Ethan is in his own way; he softens her edges, loving and supporting her for who she is. He is familiar, safe, and wants commitment. She fights it all, which is why Noah is so tantalizing. And scary. One of the fascinating triangles in your book. I appreciated how the men respected each other. Did you play with writing this triangular relationship another way, and if so how?
Yes! In the first draft of the book, Arianna was much more interested in Noah from the get-go. She had a crush on him after they had coffee together, and she was much more proactive in pursuing him. Then the book swung in the other direction with Noah pursuing Arianna from the get-go. And finally, I settled on the relationship forming organically over time; a crush is born as they spend time with one another and see how much they have in common. That crush isn't necessarily romantic on Arianna's end; it's more of an I-wish-my-boyfriend-
Ethan tries hard, and does pretty well navigating Arianna's contrasting messages. She appears to make a lot of assumptions about what she feels he should do without having the discussions and creating an environment of understanding. Communication is an issue throughout the story. She makes assumptions about her friend Rachel's blog, and about others. She talks in her head, a lot. Why doesn't Arianna communicate better with Ethan, Rachel, her co-workers, and others? Why doesn't she speak up?
Why don't any of us speak up? I say that tongue-in-cheek. There are so many times when I could easily tell someone something, but I don't because I don't want to rock the boat, or I think there is no point in saying the words aloud, or I think I know something when it turns out later that I don't. I think we all make assumptions every single day. And part of what makes life interesting is when we realize how off we were in what we first assumed about each other.
I know that as an author you might regard your characters as "children", hence you love them all, even if sometimes it is a different kind of love. That said, who was more fun to write, Arianna or Rachel? Whose "pain" touched you more, Arianna's not wanting to marry Ethan or Rachel's divorcing and then marrying Adam?
I never thought I'd get into writing from Arianna's point-of-view — it was very difficult for me at first. But ultimately, I think I enjoyed Arianna more because she is so different from who I am. I ended up really loving her by the time I said goodbye to her.
As I said above, it was really hard at first. Arianna holds her feelings close to her chest and doesn't discuss difficult things. I can't say that I really understand people who operate this way even though I know plenty of people who do. I think writing from her point-of-view helped me to understand those people better. And love them just the way they are.
Does Arianna really love Ethan for who he is, what he offers and how he offers it? Can she? I came away feeling she could not over the long haul. I felt she did not really delve deeply enough into who she was or what she wanted and why, other than her son, who was on the peripheral. I picture her in the future as single, sometimes happy with her choices but not fully understanding why she makes them. I never got a feel for her as a mother or her relationship with Beckett, little warmth and maternal overtones. By the end of Apart at the Seams, Arianna seems to be moving towards meeting Ethan half way, however I had little faith that the relationship would be long term. What did impression did you intend to leave your readers with?
I think they'll make it for the long-haul, unmarried well into old age. I think Ethan is a pleaser, and he'll be attempting to please her into the future. Attempting being the operative word because he doesn't always get that what would make him happy may not make other people happy. And I think Arianna genuinely loves him.
There was a lot more about Arianna parenting in earlier drafts of the book which were taken out because this was really a story about her relationship with Ethan and Noah. We all have many aspects to our identity and infinite pages worth of time to explore them on a daily basis, but in a book, you need to keep a laser focus.
Wow… that's a really interesting question. I think it can if you assume your friends are reading. I have a friend that I know reads from time to time because she'll bring up a post. But I go into every conversation assuming that she hadn't read my blog that week and repeat information I wrote about because I never want to take it for granted that someone reads or knows something about me. So I think as long as you never expect your friends to gain important information via social media, you're fine. The second you start putting social media between you as the conduit for the relationship, you run into danger of creating distance.
About 7% of the way through the book, Arianna describes her reasons for choosing the safe career option rather than the fulfilling one, referencing her priorities in life and how they've changed and evolved. She says, "I've been working to support myself, but not really working to fulfill myself." How have your priorities changed and evolved throughout your life so far? How do you see them changing and evolving over the next ten years? Can you tell us about the trade offs you've made and are prepared to make?
Again, a really interesting question. I could earn a lot more if I wasn't a full time writer, but being a full time writer gives me the space to be the parent I want to be while still having an income. How many other jobs slip into the hours a person wants to work without detracting from the rest of their world? I get to volunteer in the twins' school and at their computer club, run a book club for kids, and be "off" (for the most part) the moment they walk into the house. But the trade off is the financial piece — I'm definitely not earning what I could be earning. It means checking out library books more often than buying new books. It means opting for a DVD at home rather than going out to a movie in a theater. Not things that particularly bother me, but something to consider if you're ever thinking about writing full time.
That said, one thing I am really struggling with is writing the book I want to write vs. writing the book that I know will sell. I have tremendous jealousy over writers who have written the sort of books I want to write. I know — totally useless emotion, but there you go. It becomes a struggle to justify writing the book I want to write, which likely won't sell because I can't do it as well as the writers I admire, or writing the book I'm happy to write, which probably will sell. I usually go for the book I'm happy to write.
And to be clear, I am really happy with the book I'm working on now, which is — once again — women's fiction. I enjoy working on it. I like the characters. It's a great project. But there's that book in the back of my brain, my passion project, which is always begging me to work on it. I obsess about that book, specifically about the fact that I probably shouldn't put my time towards it. Did I mention that I'm obsessed with it?
I bet I'm not the only one who would line up to read Mel's passion project (well, if people still had to line up to get books). Write it, Mel, write it!

A new book tour announcement is coming soon. Here's a hint. Stay tuned!
Several book lovers are sharing our thoughts about Melissa Ford's third novel, Apart at the Seams. Even if you aren't part of the tour and even if you haven't read the book, check out what people are saying — you might find that this book is one you want to put on your wishlist.
NEWSFLASH: Apart at the Seams has been chosen for the Kindle Amazon Daily Deal for TOMORROW, September 5.
Via the links below, you'll hear from book tourists as we answer questions put to each other in our virtual book club. Next we'll hear from the author herself as Melissa Ford responds to the questions we posed to her about her characters, her sideways sequel, her writing methods, and other juicy tidbits from behind the scenes.
See the master list at the bottom of this post, following my own contribution to this book tour.
Melissa is adept at exploring big themes for women who are trying to have it all. She lets us peek in as her characters sort out competing emotions: Self vs partner. Career vs relationship. Ambition vs presence. Excitement vs stability. Creativity vs contentment. These conundrums appear in my own life and are likely to have near-universal resonance.
As a companion novel to Life from Scratch and Measure of Love, this third book in the series takes a sideways narrative with Rachel' best friend Arianna (you don't need to have read the prequels for "Apart at the Seams" to work for you). This single mother and aspiring fashion designer has just taken her relationship with Rachel's brother, Ethan, to the next level. And Arianna gets an incredible opportunity through her fashion house, one that involves hanging out with a Jon Stewart-esque cast on a late-night TV show.
But! Inevitable cracks appear in her relationship as demands are made on her and priorities shift. How can Arianna be both true to herself AND in relationship with a man who has such differing values?
Melissa examines these knotty problems from all angles. As I read, I see so much of myself in her heroines.
Three questions from the book group and my responses:
Why didn't Arianna ever loser her temper and go off on people who were annoying her? She's the straightforward, no nonsense, Midwestern girl who gets things done. As a straightforward, no nonsense, Midwestern girl, my expectation would be that someone would get a serious dressing down…especially considering her stress level. But maybe Minnesotans are more like Canadians than other Midwesterners?
Maybe geography isn't the main thing that goes into straightforward-no-nonsenseness.
I first had to gain clarity (a very gradual process) within myself before I could express to others my emotions and preferences. In previous stages I have experimented between the extremes of being aggressive to get what I want (my teen years, during which I was an erratic bulldozer with my parents) to being very passive about it all (early romantic relationships, hierarchical work relationships). I've modulated that pendulum in recent years and in most situations I can be appropriately assertive.
But it took trial and error — and time. I think time, rather than place, is what kept Arianna from being as straighforward-no-nonsense outside her head as she was inside her head.
It feels as though Arianna would become irritated with Ethan for not doing things she needed him to do yet she often wouldn't verbalize clearly what it was she wanted or needed. Why do you think asking for exactly what you need makes you feel so vulnerable?
This goes back to having clarity within, with having healthy boundaries around what is and isn't reasonable to expect from a person and relationship, and being able to articulate those expectations — asking for what you need. These are traits I continue to develop (there is no there there).
When not quite confident of where one person starts and another begins, and when unsure of a code of behavior, Arianna resorts to what so many women do — being the "good girl." I have been taming my inner Good Girl for decades. She emerges when I feel out of my element. And when she does, I become a consummate people pleaser, taking care of the other's needs while seething that my own aren't being addressed.
I think it is very vulnerable to be authentic — to live without a mask, without a barrier between you and the world (or just the other in a relationship). To do so, you are clear within yourself, you set and patrol boundaries that are respectful to you and the other person, and you have courage to ask for what you want. It's a very vulnerable state — and paradoxically, a sign of incredible inner strength.
Arianna has several major events that are downplayed by Rachel. How would you have reacted if this had happened to you? Would you have made the effort to repair the friendship?
My first inclination with discord is to look within. Was I the one who didn't share enough? Am I expecting my friend to read my mind? Are my expectations too high regarding the important people in my life? Do I expect that others will supply for me something that I could very well supply for myself?
After my exercise in introspection, I take a look at the other person. Did she know what I needed in that moment? Should she have known (and how?)? Did she deliberately slight me? Is there other evidence that this relationships is waning?
I may decide to speak up to my friend, I might say:"Hey, when that big thing happened to me, I feel as if you weren't really there for me. What was going on for you?" If my friend has repeatedly not been there for me and I've tried to address it multiple times, I may simply let the friendship die. If I myself am in a funk, I would tell myself to "snap out of it! — stop being a victim and move on."
So yes, I would make an effort to repair a friendship by looking within, by talking it out, and by asking for what I want. But if the person is unresponsive to my overtures, I would not belabor my efforts. I would not close the door forever, but I would not continue my efforts on something that's just not there at a point in time.

Thanks for following along on our book tour, and be sure to come back for Saturday's batch of posts!

By Jeffrey Tayler

In Russia, the open wounds of history are all too seldom treated with the balm of truth. Exhibit A: the case of a convicted killer who received a hero's funeral, and whose own murder could yet spark inter-ethnic violence.

Yury Budanov, a decorated colonel and veteran of Russia's brutal war in the southern republic of Chechnya, served eight years in prison for the 2000 murder of an 18-year-old Chechen girl, Elza Kungayeva, who he said he believed to be a sniper. The verdict angered Russian nationalists, who came to idolize Budanov. Chechens and other minorities, to put it mildly, felt less charitably inclined.

Last Friday, Budanov met his own end when an unidentified assailant gunned him down in central Moscow. Tom Washington of the Moscow News recounted the grisly deed:

CCTV caught the killer sitting three meters away from Budanov as he smoked his last cigarette, waiting to launch a well-planned attack. ... The gunman knew where the cameras were pointed and never showed his face. …He waited to shoot Budanov from a blind spot, not betraying any nerves.

The murder brought the conflicting truths about Budanov back to the surface. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, tensions have often run high between ethnic Russians and the country's multitudinous Muslim minorities (including the Chechens), a good number of whom reside in the North Caucasus.

As Natalya Krainova of the Moscow Times reported:

Budanov's death prompted fears of nationalist rioting similar to December's event on Manezh Square, where more than 5,500 people clashed with police after the killing of football fan Yegor Sviridov by North Caucasus natives.

The radio station Ekho Moskvy ominously reported that Russian nationalists were issuing calls online for a Saturday demonstration. Authorities stepped up security in central Moscow. Yelena Milashina, of the opposition daily Novaya Gazeta, outlined a case for calm, writing that "Ethnic hatred ends not in blood vengeance, but in a bloody mess."

Reached in Norway, Visa Kungayev, the father of the victim, did little to dispel fears of bloodshed, telling Gazeta.ru that Budanov's murder was a "provocation," before declaring the deceased colonel got what he deserved -- "a dog's death for a dog."

The weekend passed without incident, but Budanov's funeral on Monday was hardly that of a disgraced army officer, let alone a convicted murderer.

The funeral took place at a cemetery in the Khimki district on the outskirts of Moscow. Oleg Kashin and Musa Muradov of the newspaper Kommersant reported that the crowd greeted the bus carrying Budanov's coffin

with applause. Usually they do that when burying celebrities." Russian nationalists and servicemen numbered heavily among the approximately one thousand present, as did police officers, black-frocked Orthodox priests and scarved, tearful women bearing a veritable mountain of wreaths and flowers. An honor guard even fired salutes.

Kashin and Muradov gathered opinions from those present. A seminary teacher said she "came to ask forgiveness of Budanov for our cowardice. We hid our children from the army, we sent them away to study, but he alone went to fight for us all, and we let him be put on trial." A functionary of the "Russian Imperial Movement" vowed that ". . . we'll get them all, we'll avenge them all." Another woman: "He did so much good for people. Even soldiers he didn't know sent him gifts in prison."

Budanov's imprisonment hardly entailed a regime of bread and water. The opposition blogger Yulia Latynina wrote in the Moscow Times that he

was sent to serve out his prison term in the Ulyanovsk region. This worked out quite well for him because for three years of Budanov's sentence — from 2001 to 2004 — the region's governor was Vladimir Shamanov, Budanov's superior officer during the Chechen war and Budanov's most vocal supporter when he faced murder and rape charges.

Shamanov, who was proclaimed a war criminal by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, helped turn Budanov's jail cell into a resort. For example, witnesses claim that food from a local restaurant was delivered to Budanov.

Budanov's priest, Father Mikhail, delivered a sermon savoring more of hagiography than patriotism, according to Kashin and Muradov. In an apparent reference to a deceased hero from Russia's past, Father Mikhail claimed that "the murdered warrior Georgi has been reborn throughout Russia. [Budanov] is a warrior of the spirit, and now more than ever is serving Russia."

Father Mikhail proceeded to beatify his former parishioner. "We've acquired a new saint. [Budanov] will be praying for us all in heaven, alongside [national heroes] Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, and Yevgeny Rodionov" – a Russian paratrooper who, captured by rebels in 1996, refused to accept Islam in return for his life and was brutally executed.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a radical nationalist member of Russia's parliament, stirred things up further, declaring from the podium that he would "make every effort to ensure that they restore the rank of colonel and his Order of Courage to him, and name a street after him in a Russian city. Yury Budanov's murder is a challenge thrown down to the whole Russian people."

In the wake of the spectacle, the Moscow Times editorialized:

The irony is heavy that Budanov — who tried, convicted and executed Kungayeva in his quarters — was himself summarily tried, convicted and executed by unknown attackers in central Moscow 11 years later.

. . . But the fact remains that Budanov was charged, convicted and incarcerated for a crime that prosecutors concluded he committed. In the eyes of the law, he paid his debt to society. . .

Budanov hardly seems worthy of joining the ranks of Anna Politkovskaya and Paul Klebnikov, whose slayings are still crying out for justice. Budanov participated in the very atrocities that those two courageous journalists exposed.

But if vigilante justice is swept under the carpet for a man like Budanov, what's to stop other killers from taking the law into their own hands with the rest of us?

Both Kungayeva and Budanov met bloody ends. But the climate of "legal nihilism" famously decried by President Dmitry Medvedev lives on, and inter-ethnic animosities smolder away, ever on the brink of eruption, threatening the very unity of the Russian state.

Alumna Kathryn Ries Awarded the Bronze Medal for Outstanding Work at NOAA
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awards Institute alumna Ries the highest honor given to NOAA professionals.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awards Institute alumna Ries the highest honor given to NOAA professionals.
Professor Kathi Bailey of the Monterey Institute of International Studies was awarded the Heinle Outstanding Achievement Award at the National Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages convention in New Orleans last week.
Retired Brig. Gen. Russ Howard (MBA '74) and adjunct professor at the Monterey Institute is quoted in a widely published Associated Press news wire about the U.S. administration's new national counter-terrorism strategy.
"Nuclear Politics and the Non-Aligned Movement" is being published as part of the Adelphi book series from the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
The Nuclear Security Summit in South Korea prompted several major national and international news services, including Reuters and USA Today, to seek out experts at the Monterey Institute's James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies for comments.
On March 28, Dr. David Brady, deputy director of the Hoover Institute and Stanford University professor, will lecture on the upcoming U.S. presidential election at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
The coming week will see the Monterey Institute play host to a lecture by former Secretary of Defense William Perry, a human rights conference featuring actor/activist Mike Farrell, and a talk by localization expert Cameron Jahn (MBA '09).
Monterey Institute alumni from all over the world have rallied to support the newly founded Stephen A. Garrett Scholarship Fund for Ethics and International Affairs, established by the Garrett family last year.
A pair of Monterey Institute graduates are working to launch a community-supported fishery they call "Local Catch Monterey," with the aim of creating reliable demand for local fishermen while supplying local customers with reasonably priced seafood.
One hundred and twenty students, alumni, faculty and staff of the Monterey Institute have already contributed their stories to the MIIS Around the World Campaign -- but the goal is to reach 500.

Derby County have confirmed Steve McClaren as their new head coach just two days after sacking Nigel Clough.
McClaren has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Championship club that sees him return to Pride Park 14 years after leaving to join Manchester United as Alex Ferguson's assistant.
In his previous spell at the club, McClaren assisted Jim Smith as they won promotion to the Premier League.
After his two-year stint at Old Trafford, McClaren went on to manage Middlesbrough, Twente, Wolfsburg, Nottingham Forest and England.
That experience is what attracted Derby president and chief executive Sam Rush to McClaren, and he is eager for him to get started.
"We are thrilled to announce Steve McClaren as our new head coach," he said. "Our goal is to have Derby County competing for a play-off place and beyond, and we feel with Steve and his team at the helm, we have a great opportunity to do so.
"Steve is a highly-qualified coach with all the skill-sets required to be a success here at Pride Park.
"He also has a network of contacts both on a European and global scale, and has also proved in the past that he can identify talent and develop it on the training ground.
"Steve was a driving force behind the club's promotion under Jim Smith in the 1990s and you only have to look at his CV to discover what a hugely-talented coach he is.
"We are very much looking forward to letting Steve get on with the job in hand and helping Derby County move in the right direction."
The 52-year-old arrives after Clough was sacked following their 1-0 defeat to fierce rivals Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
Clough had spent over four years at the club but was not deemed able to take them to the next level by the owners.

The New Mexico Corrections Department will no longer allow overnight family visits starting May 1.
The current policy allows for overnight visitation, which has led to conjugal visits.
"Only a small portion of the nearly 7,000 inmates in the Corrections Department qualified for overnight family visits; for the majority of inmates, these changes are exciting," Corrections Department spokeswoman Alex Tomlin said in a statement.
The new family visiting policy will consist of special seminar days in which inmates are divided into reentry groups centered on their interests, such as finances, raising a child, supporting spouses or how to deal with grief and disappointment.
New Mexico was just one of four states that still allowed conjugal visits. In February, the first state to allow such visits, Mississippi, stopped their overnight policy. The state cited the cost of cleanup and other expenses—as well as unexpected pregnancies—as the reason for ending conjugal visits.
Once New Mexico ends their overnight policy, California, New York and Washington will be the only states to allow it.

Sixteen-year-old Southlander Liam MacDonald will line up on the grid in one of New Zealand's motorsport's premier race classes - the NZV8 Touring Cars - at Teretonga this weekend, just days after getting his driver's licence.
Like so many young up and coming racing drivers, MacDonald has already accumulated a wealth of experience on the race track but until today did not have a driver's licence.
After starting out in the local Noel McIntyre Drainage Clubmans Series in a small Nissan Coupe, MacDonald made his NZV8 Touring Car debut at Teretonga last January before contesting two more rounds of the series at Timaru and Pukekohe.
The teenager's driving made an immediate impression, securing some excellent results in the Discount Tyres Falcon and showing a maturity beyond his years.
MacDonald finished ninth in last year's championship despite missing two rounds.
He gained a best race result of a third place at Timaru and demonstrated his potential in no uncertain terms during the support races at the V8 Supercars support races at Pukekohe when, on an unfamiliar circuit, he stormed through the field picking up 12 spots in the second race of the weekend and then put in a similar performance in the final race despite being the youngest driver on the grid.
MacDonald and his team were busy unloading the Falcon in readiness for Round 2 of the 2013/2014 NZ Touring Car Championship at Teretonga today but earlier in the day the Invercargill student had been busy - getting his driver's licence.
He had successfully negotiated his licence test in his grandmother's elderly Mitsubishi Lancer before celebrating by driving around town a couple of times.
He then headed for home to load up the big V8 Falcon ready for another weekend of motor racing. When the car arrived at the circuit he was at the wheel of the Ford Ute towing the race car.
After this weekend MacDonald hopes to compete in at least some other rounds of the championship although the team are finding sponsorship difficult to come by and are still seeking more support to allow him to compete.

Heineken Cup - Team of the Round
ESPNscrum Staff
December 19, 2011
Harlequins' Mike Brown celebrates his place in Team of the Round © Getty Images
John Afoa Mike Brown Domenico de Luca Nick de Luca Nick Evans Luke Fitzgerald Florian Fritz Allan Jacobsen Yoann Maestri Timoci Matanavou Chris Robshaw Julian Salvi William Servat Devin Toner Thomas Waldrom
Following another action-packed round of Heineken Cup action, ESPNscrum puts together the Team of the Round.
15. Mike Brown (Harlequins) - Two tries in a famous win over Toulouse, great in defence and a constant threat. Must be there or thereabouts for an England comeback.
14. Timoci Matanavou (Toulouse) - Proof - if it was needed - that real pace can be a nightmare to deal with. Has done exceptionally well since being plucked from relative obscurity in ProD 2.
13. Florian Fritz (Toulouse) - The early replacement did everything asked of him and more, like dropping a match into a box of fireworks.
12. Nick De Luca (Edinburgh) - Edinburgh won this game in the first-half and De Luca had the better of Cardiff's much-vaunted midfield. Superb break to set up their only try.
11. Luke Fitzgerald (Leinster) - The forgotten man of Irish rugby scored an eye-catching brace to leave Declan Kidney on notice prior to the Six Nations.
10. Nick Evans (Harlequins) - While Luke McAlister endured a shocker for Toulouse, Evans kept his side in the hunt with superb passing, great organisation, and strong kicking from hand and the tee.
9. Eoin Reddan (Leinster) - Preferred to Isaac Boss, he did what he does best and kept the tempo lightning fast - far too fast for Bath.
1. Allan Jacobsen (Edinburgh) - So, so important to Edinburgh. Always holds his end up in the scrum and is a tireless presence, hassling at the breakdown and tackling for as long as his wee legs will keep him upright.
2. William Servat (Toulouse) - He ended up on the losing side, but Servat was excellent. He picks support angles that some centres wouldn't be able to draw on a blackboard.
3. John Afoa (Ulster) - An All Black with a reputation for pace and power, he proved that he's at home with the ground and pound as he helped Ulster dominate Aironi up front.
4. Yoann Maestri (Toulouse) - The giant youngster rounded off a brilliant try - set up by the venerable Jean Bouilhou - and looked the part around the park.
5. Devin Toner (Leinster) - Brought in to dominate the sky, Toner also showed an array of skills that helped Leinster attack from all over the field. One superb dummy set up a try for Fitzgerald.
6. Chris Robshaw (Harlequins) - The Quins skipper has been in fine form all season and just keeps passing leadership tests left, right and centre. His exclusion from England squads has to this point been baffling, but shouldn't continue for much longer.
7. Julian Salvi (Leicester) - The Australian has slotted into the Tigers pack seamlessly and is one of Europe's top practitioners at the breakdown. Throw in a try for good measure.
8. Thomas Waldrom (Leicester) - Solid and dependable, Waldrom gave Leicester the confidence and solidity from the base that they lacked at times in France last weekend.

Too many people sit around waiting for the perfect business idea to fall onto their lap. I know it does happen occasionally, but most successful business owners had to go out and find ideas themselves. I always have people asking me how the best business ideas are born. The short answer - ideas happen when you mix passion and observation and the two live happily ever after. The long answer is a little more complex. Ideas are usually everywhere if you know where and how to look for them. Making sure those ideas go past their infancy is up to you. Here is a quick process for finding a good business idea. Step 1. Find Out What Others Hate Doing I've found the best ideas help others do what they hate doing. For instance, I might hate doing house work, but I need it to get done. I can either begrudgingly do it myself or have a cleaning company/individual take care of it for me. The reality is, we all hate doing something. The key is to find out what individuals and even businesses ... [Continue Reading]

He then when on and referred to the fact that our programs were not cheap and because of that very fact, this student I spoke of should be making at least several thousand a month...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Dry weather over the past week has allowed Minnesota farmers to make steady progress on the small -grain harvest.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its weekly crop progress and condition report for the state Monday that 6.3 days were suitable for fieldwork last week. Despite the heavy rain earlier in the season, the report says most row crop farmers now would like to see some additional moisture.
Minnesota's oat harvest is 54 percent complete, the only crop ahead of average, while 17 percent of the state's barley crop and 6 percent of its spring wheat have been harvested.
The state's corn crop is rated 70 percent in good to excellent condition, while soybeans and sugarbeets are rated 65 percent good to excellent.
