40 million people can't be wrong — The secrets of viral
Apr 10th
By Kerry Gorgone, {grow} Contributing Columnist
One of the standout sessions at SXSW Interactive this year was a presentation by Jonah Peretti of BuzzFeed. In it, he chronicled his journey from early viral sensation to creating a respected media channel boasting 40 million unique visitors.
Having spent more than 10 years studying his successes and failures to find the formula for "going viral," Peretti is uniquely qualified to help marketers create content that gets shared. Here are some key points from his presentation.
Takeaways from @peretti and #powershift. Probably the best #sxsw session I've seen. Bold statement. twitter.com/nathanjokers/s…

Engage the "Bored at Work Network"
Millions of people find themselves idle at work from time to time. The importance of appealing to this audience cannot be overstated. "Collectively," observed Peretti, "they create a network bigger than the BBC or NBC or CBS. More people can receive a piece of media if the 'Bored at Work' network likes it." Case in point: "13 Simple Steps to Get You Through a Rough Day."
Also optimize your content for mobile, so you can leverage the power of the advancing "Bored in Line" network, as well. Almost 40 percent of BuzzFeed's traffic comes to the site via mobile, leading Peretti to conclude that "If you don't optimize your content for mobile, you have zero chance of going viral."
Understand Your Platform
Facebook is different from Twitter, which is different from Instagram, which is different from Google+. Your content, tone, and timing of posts must be adjusted according to the preferences of each specific community. The task isn't as daunting as it sounds (you can use HootSuite or another tool to schedule posts), but it does require some thought.
Twitter posts have a half-life of one hour; Facebook about a day; Pinterest about one week. Plan accordingly, and don't be afraid to repost the same link: just be sure to change the introductory text so you're not making identical posts. Change the context, and introduce the post using a different angle; emphasize an aspect of the content that will appeal to a particular subset of your audience.
Once you understand how the platforms work, spend half your time refining your message, and half your time thinking about how to promote it. Don't spend all your time on the idea, then consider about how to promote it as an afterthought. They are equally important.
Social content is changing advertising
We're shifting back to the "Mad Men" days, when ads told a story and were an integral part of the entertainment experience. Advertising should add to your site, not detract from it. BuzzFeed eschews banner ads in favor of content marketing.
Consider the user experience: integrate advertising that enhances rather than disrupts. Banners don't give you enough room to tell a story. "Social can help us get back to a golden age of advertising, where brands tell a story." Combine a compelling story with the massive distribution you get from the social networking platforms.
Treat social like the Paris cafe
People love to linger over coffee at a Parisian cafe. They read philosophy, stop by pat a cute dog, flirt with someone at the next table. It's all part of the experience. Your social presence needs be this inviting. Encourage people to stick around and engage.
Social networks have become people's starting point for their online experience. Publishers need to be at the source, creating all types of content — news , branded content, and entertainment — and sharing it via social.
Social is a way of thinking, not a "trick."
You can't fool people into thinking that your business is social just because you're on Facebook (or Pinterest, for that matter). The "trick" is that you must actually be a social entity, equipped with a sense of community and engagement. Scheduling posts that go out into the void will not propel you to social success: failing to engage with your customers in the social space will ultimately hurt your business.
Think in a way that is compatible with social:
- Have a heart. EQ is as important as IQ, possibly even more important. As Peretti observed, "Google is about information: social networks are about emotion."
- Content is about identity. Enable people to communicate something about themselves that uniquely identifies them. Content that a few people care deeply about is more likely to get shared because it defines them. Example: "32 Absolute Worst Parts About Being Tall."
- Humor is inherently social. Laughing with people brings us closer, but you don't have to use humor. Nostalgia works, too. The key is tapping into common experiences.
Incidentally, don't post things people would be embarrassed to share. People may want to see naked celebrity photos, but they use search for that, not social. What people want to see and what they want to share are two different things, so make your content sharable if you want a chance at going "viral."
If you have some time, I highly recommend listening to Peretti's presentation. His talk is informative and entertaining: much like the content that marketers need to create!

How to establish your company's Social Media Lead Team
Apr 9th
I have written a lot about the critical importance of company culture to social media marketing success. It's more important than desire, it's more important than vision, it's even more important than having a budget. If you don't have a leadership team supporting a culture that is actively transforming to a digital, open, responsive environment, you'll simply be frustrated and waste a lot of money.
For many companies this is a dramatic and difficult change. And that change is not going to come from earnest employees at the bottom of the organization, no matter how passionate and driven they may be. Organizational change has to come from the top — from the people who control the budget, strategy, and resources. There is no such thing as a grassroots organizational change.
One of the most important things a company can do is to create a Social Media Lead Team to help drive the change you need that will support your efforts. By the way, doesn't "Lead Team" sound a lot better than "committee?" Let's look at the steps you need to take to do this effectively …
Are you ready?
You cannot hope to drive change unless the leadership team is convinced that change is necessary. If that has not yet occurred, you're not ready. At this point, you don't need a Lead Team, you need executive education. Here are two things to try if your leadership team stubbornly has its head in the sand:
1) Every week, send one short article to your leaders to educate them on social media marketing benefits, case studies, and examples of what the competition might be up to.
2) Bring in an outside expert. Sadly, sometimes they just need to hear from the "outside" to convince them that change is necessary. In my experience, even a two-hour social media workshop can have a powerful impact on the tone of the organization.
Who should be on the team?
The make-up of the team can vary, but there is one person who is absolutely critical. Look at the organizational chart. Now, identify all the people who have to make this strategy work on a day-to-day basis. In some companies this might include Legal, HR, PR, IT, Marketing, and Sales. Now look up the chart for the one person who can tell all these people what to do. It could be a manager or VP, but in some companies you might have to go all the way up to the CEO.
That person must be on the team. Why? Because that is the person who controls ALL the resources needed to make this work. This is single person who can set the direction so that the team operates with lock-step efficiency. If you don't have this person's leadership on the team, you risk constant in-fighting.
After that, you can populate the team with representatives of the key functional areas who will be working on the social media strategy and tactics.
What does a Social Media Lead Team do?
In my experience, there are five obstacles to social media success across every company I have worked with: Company culture, measurement, resources, IT, and Legal. If you would like to read about this in more detail, here is a thorough article for your consideration: The Social Media Minefield: Five Factors Blocking Your Success.
The number one goal of this team is openly address any problem that is jeopardizing the digital transformation of the company so it seems that focusing on these five common issues would be an appropriate agenda for your meetings:
1) Measurement — Review the dashboard to report on successes, opportunities and competitive efforts.
2) Legal — How is the approval process going? Is Legal allowing you to be "human?"
3) IT — Are you getting the IT support you need? Are they responsive to new customer needs and ideas?
4) Resources — Do you have the people and budget to optimize your efforts? (Of course the answer to this will always be "no" but are you moving forward at the right pace?)
5) Culture/leadership — Is everybody rowing in the right direction? Any personnel or political issues?
In addition to these standing agenda items, the team should also:
- Review and enforce the company social media policy
- Provide positive reinforcement and recognition to those embracing change
- Actively demonstrate their leadership and interest in digital business through their work on this team
- Decide on the timing of significant new projects
How often should the Lead Team meet?
For the first year, I would suggest having a two-hour meeting once per month and then backing off to one hour every other month in year two.
In the first year, you might consider one hour devoted to problem-solving and one hour of digital education on a topic like opportunities in analytics, social influence, digital advertising, mobile marketing, content marketing, etc. The more knowledgeable your team is, the more likely you will maintain their sense of urgency to move forward.
So those are a few of my thoughts on the subject of social media and leadership. What has your experience been like? What would you add to this discussion?
Do you need a massive audience to be huge in social media?
Apr 7th
Recently, my dear friend Kristen Daukas and I had an interesting exchange in the comment section about audience size and I thought it would be fun to blow it out into a blog post since it is such a relevant topic.
Kristen wrote:
"Content may be king but having a vast audience to accelerate the spread of the topic is queen and we know which one rules the castle. There have been several topics that I've written about that certainly have not gotten nearly the attention as a post of yours on the same topic. If you don't have a vast audience to help spread your message for you, all the self-promoting in the world isn't going to help."
Well then. Does size matter?
In a {grow} first, I am actually going to answer the question and then prove myself wrong. You'll just have to see for yourself.
Why size does not matter
One of my favorite case studies to illustrate the power of community is a family-owned bakery in Houston called Dessert Gallery. The business has a small but loyal Facebook following of less than 3,000 fans. However, a study by Rice University found that this audience was providing profound benefits to the bakery including:
- 36 percent more visits than non-Facebook customers
- 45 percent more of their dining budget spent at the bakery
- 33 percent spent more at the bakery than at other restaurants
- Greater emotional attachment to the brand
The owner successfully uses her Facebook page to gain marketing insight, address customer problems, communicate promotions, and get feedback on new product ideas.
This company does not have a huge Facebook following but the Likes they have MATTER.
Clearly, building a vast, global audience would simply be a waste of time for this business. As long as it attracts and retains loyal fans in its target business area, its small but mighty audience will be just fine.
So, in this case, growing a huge audience is not a priority. In fact it might even be a costly distraction for the business. Audience size is a function of strategy.
Why size does matter
I am now going to argue with myself. It happens.
In the online world the "social proof" of a large audience may be important because in our information-dense world, we're starved for clues to help us determine leadership and authority. We readily look to "badges of influence" like number of Twitter followers or even Facebook likes to help us determine brand worthiness.
In some markets, there may even be a Facebook arms race as competing brands do anything necessary to gain the upper hand on this metric. I recently wrote a post describing a company who has an internal marketing metric of "cost per like." On the surface, this seems ludicrous but it demonstrates how strategically important this symbol has become.
Icky. But true.
So in the bakery case study above, would this bakery be disadvantaged — ever so subtly — if the bakery down the street had 10,000 fans versus their 3,000? Hmmm.
Of course there are other reasons why size might matter if you are aiming for a global audience, and as Kristen said, you are actively trying to move content and build a personal brand. As long as the audience is relevant and real, bigger would be better.
So I hope I did not confuse you … but it's a complicated subject. The bottom line is, start with strategy. Know who your customers are, where they get their information, and how you can be useful to them through your content. Then build appropriately.
What is your view?

In the latest chapter of an ongoing battle over government sponsorship of religion, the ACLU-NJ, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the national ACLU argued today before an appeals court that New Jersey unconstitutionally granted more than $11 million to two religious institutions of higher learning. The two institutions train clergy, engage in religious instruction, and discriminate on the basis of gender or religion. The grants violate New Jersey's constitution and civil rights law, the groups said.
"At a time when public school funding has been slashed in our state, it's an insult for more than $11 million to go toward private, sectarian, religious institutions that actively exclude students based on religion or gender," said Edward Barocas, legal director of the ACLU-NJ. "New Jersey's Constitution specifically forbids the use of taxpayers' money to further a sectarian religious institution's ability to teach its religion or train its clergy members."
The three organizations have submitted written arguments challenging New Jersey's decision to award the funds to two higher education institutions dedicated to religious training and instruction and that engage in discrimination on the basis of gender or religion. In April 2013, $10.6 million was slated to go to Beth Medrash Govoha, a yeshiva which trains an all-male student body. Princeton Theological Seminary, a Presbyterian seminary, was set to receive $645,323. As a result of the legal challenge, the distribution of the funds has been on hold.
All courses of study at Beth Medrash Govoha, in Lakewood, are classified as "Theology/Theological Studies," "Rabbinical Studies," or "Talmudic Studies." The yeshiva does not admit women, and its faculty is entirely male and Jewish. Princeton Theological Seminary "prepares women and men to serve Jesus Christ in ministries" and requires degree students to be Christian.
"Forcing taxpayers to foot the bill to train future rabbis and ministers violates our constitutional principles," said Americans United Associate Legal Director Alex J. Luchenitser. "The court should strike down these grants."
The ACLU-NJ, ACLU and Americans United went to court in June 2013 to challenge the funding under the State Constitution and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. In their brief filed against Secretary of Higher Education Rochelle Hendricks, the plaintiffs cited three violations of the state Constitution, which prohibits using taxpayer funds:
Further, the brief cites the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), which prohibits any place of public accommodation from discriminating based on religion or sex. While the yeshiva and seminary are private religious entities that are permitted to discriminate, the government is a public accommodation and so can't give special benefits that subsidize and support that discrimination.
"Separation of church and state is a two-way street: it prevents the state from endorsing or promoting any one religion over another, but it also protects religion from undue political and governmental influence," said the Rev. Craig Hirshberg, a minister with the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of New Jersey, a plaintiff in the case. "This funding is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, and it's a decision that advances two particular faith traditions over all of the others. Public funds should not be used to support any religious tradition. That is not the state's role."
On April 29, 2013, following a competitive application process, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration released a list of 176 university construction projects to be funded with the proceeds from a voter-approved bond sale, which included Beth Medrash Govoha and Princeton Theological Seminary.
"Taxpayers shouldn't have to underwrite discrimination or the religious training of clergy," said Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief. "Subsidizing religion is not the role of the government, and it's why the U.S. and New Jersey constitutions forbid it."
Even though the New Jersey Constitution forbids taxpayer funds from supporting ministries or places of worship, the state awarded $10.6 million to Beth Medrash Govoha, an orthodox Jewish rabbinical school in Lakewood, to build a new library and academic center. The state also awarded $645,323 to Princeton Theological Seminary for expansion and construction of classroom and study space.
Courses of study at both of these schools prepare students to serve as religious leaders or religious educators. The New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education's website identifies each school as a "theological institution."
The briefs in the case, captioned ACLU-NJ v. Hendricks.
Newark – The ACLU of New Jersey applauded a move taken by administration of Glenview Elementary School in Haddon Heights to stop the practice of adding "God bless America" during the Pledge of Allegiance recited during daily morning assembly. The ACLU-NJ sent a letter to the school district (PDF) on December 30, 2015, explaining that invoking a blessing from God at the beginning of each school day violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, which calls for no government sponsorship of religion.
"Our constitution is clear: schools can't coerce or impose religion on children," said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Edward Barocas. "It's the job of parents to decide how and whether to instill religion, not public schools. There is a special concern when it involves students at such an impressionable age, including kindergartners. It gives some children an uncomfortable choice between opting out and risking the status of pariah, or troublemaker, or participating in a group exercise that pressures them into voicing beliefs that may run counter to their own and their parents."
Students at the school, which houses children between kindergarten and sixth grade, have stood at attention lined up by grade to recite the phrase "God bless America" immediately following the Pledge of Allegiance for about 14 years. The Constitution prohibits not only public institutions from favoring one religion above another, but also from favoring religion over non-religion. The United States Supreme Court has rejected a practice of invoking God's blessing as a daily ritual.
"Students have the right to engage in speech, including religious speech, on their own time at school, and the ACLU-NJ has defended students' religious speech in the past," Barocas said.
"The fact that the phrase has some patriotic overtones does not cancel out the fundamentally religious nature of the words recited every morning in unison at the school, led by teachers and administrators," added Barocas. "The school should focus its efforts on academics and the enrichment of children, not the debate over whether to add a religious blessing to the end of the Pledge of Allegiance."
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey today applauded a court decision today that ensures the right of Muslim New Jerseyans to challenge the New York Police Department surveillance program that appeared to target them based solely on their religious beliefs. The decision issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit sided with individuals, associations, and businesses represented by Muslim Advocates and the Center for Constitutional Rights, and reinstated the case in which the ACLU-NJ and Rutgers School of Law-Newark Constitutional Rights Clinic filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of numerous civil rights organizations. The opinion rejected a lower court opinion issued in February 2014 that had erroneously held that the plaintiffs had no standing to sue and accepted at face value the government's unsupported rationale for the spying.
As explained by the Court: "What occurs here in one guise is not new. We have been down similar roads before. Jewish-Americans during the Red Scare, African-Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, and Japanese-Americans during World War II are examples that readily spring to mind. We are left to wonder why we cannot see with foresight what we see so clearly with hindsight — that 'loyalty is a matter of the heart and mind, not race, creed, or color.'"
The following statement is from Edward Barocas, Legal Director of the ACLU of New Jersey.
"The ACLU-NJ commends the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for reinstating the case against the NYPD's discriminatory spying program. It appears the agency spied on Muslim individuals, mosques, and Muslim-owned businesses based solely on religion. Our Constitution forbids such discriminatory actions.
"Widespread discriminatory policies against religious and ethnic minorities have occurred before in our country, but we look back on such actions with regret, as we will here. The opinion today rightly overturned a ruling that would have denied individuals the right to challenge patently unconstitutional discrimination. When the government profiles an entire group of people based solely on a characteristic such as ethnicity or religion, affected individuals are due their day in court, which will now happen. We look forward to the next steps in this important case."
NEWARK – The ACLU of New Jersey, the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State submitted written arguments (PDF) challenging New Jersey's rationale for awarding more than $11 million in taxpayer funds to two higher education institutions dedicated to religious training and instruction.
NJ Attorney General John Hoffman defended the state grants to the Lakewood Yeshiva Beth Medrash Gohova and the Princeton Theological Seminary in a brief dated June 10, 2015, in the lawsuit ACLU-NJ v. Hendricks. Hoffman argued that the grants are for academic purposes – the construction of classrooms, a library and other capital improvements – not furtherance of religious teachings and, therefore, do not violate the state Constitution or the Law Against Discrimination.
"The Constitution does not allow the State to subsidize the training of clergy or other religious instruction, nor does it allow subsidizing discriminatory institutions. The proposed grants would do exactly these things," said Edward Barocas, legal director of the ACLU-NJ.
Responding to the state's defense, groups filed a brief characterizing the State's arguments as "unavailing" and an attempt to undermine a 1978 NJ Supreme Court ruling that clearly bars the use of public funds for the maintenance or support of religious groups. The brief asks the state Appellate Court to recognize the violations of the Constitution and bar the state from awarding the tax-funded grants to the schools.
"Taxpayers must not be forced to fund divinity schools," said Americans United Associate Legal Director Alex J. Luchenitser. "The court should strike down these grants."
On April 29, 2013, following a competitive application process, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration released a list of 176 college construction projects to be funded with the proceeds from a voter-approved bond sale. The ACLU of NJ, ACLU and Americans United, went to court in June 2013 to challenge the funding under the state Constitution and the Law Against Discrimination.
"These grants flout important safeguards in the state Constitution," said Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief. "Taxpayers shouldn't have to underwrite discrimination or the religious training of clergy."
Even though the New Jersey Constitution forbids taxpayer funds from supporting ministries or places of worship, the state awarded $10.6 million to Beth Medrash Govoha, an orthodox Jewish rabbinical school in Lakewood, to build a new library and academic center. The state also awarded $645,323 to Princeton Theological Seminary for expansion and construction of classroom and study space.
Courses of study at both of these schools prepare students to serve as religious leaders or religious educators. The New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education's website identifies each school as a "theological institution." The Yeshiva does not admit women and its faculty is entirely male and Jewish. The seminary requires degree students to be Christian.
The ACLU-NJ, ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State went to court in June 2013 to challenge the funding under the state constitution and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. In their brief, the plaintiffs cited three violations of the state Constitution, which prohibits using taxpayer funds:
Further, the brief cites the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), which prohibits any place of public accommodation from discriminating based on religion or sex.
Because governmental entities are public accommodations subject to the LAD, they are prohibited from providing special benefits to organizations that discriminate based on religion or sex. The proposed grants constitute special benefits to two institutions that do exactly that. The Seminary has a policy of allowing only Christians to become degree students, faculty, or board members. While it has no formal policy barring women or non-Jews, the Yeshiva's entire faculty is Jewish and male and the student body is all male and believed to be all-Jewish.
Hoffman's response argued that the 176 grants included awards to 15 private institutions and that the stated public benefit -- to improve the quality and capacity of higher education in New Jersey -- is not measured by each grant but rather by the entirety of the program. The state also said the grants were for the benefit of education not religious instruction, because the assistance is meant for classrooms, libraries and other academic functions.
Further, the State argued that schools with religious affiliations are not barred from taxpayer assistance, such as police and fire services, and that the plaintiffs' assertion that the grants are violations is an overly broad interpretation of the state Constitution and the NJ Supreme Court's findings in the landmark case, Resnick v. East Brunswick Township Board of Education.
Finally, the state argued in its written brief, "Religious institutions are expressly exempt from the LAD," and that the State should not be barred from giving funds or other special benefits to organizations that are permitted to discriminate because they are exempt from the law.
Despite the state's claim that the grants were plentiful and wide-reaching, the awards were made competitively, at the discretion of the State Secretary of Higher Education, and nearly a third of the applications for funding were rejected.
While the NJ Constitution does not preclude the State from providing general services such as fire and police protection to religious organizations, it does foreclose direct "out-of-pocket" funding for sectarian religious instruction and the training of clergy.
While religious institutions may be exempt from the LAD and therefore permitted to engage in discrimination, a place of public accommodation covered by the law (including the NJ government) is not permitted to indirectly promote or support such discrimination by providing special benefits to such discriminatory groups. Here, the State is providing the two institutions a total of more than $10 million in discretionary taxpayer funds.
Oral argument in the case has not yet been scheduled.
NEWARK – As New Jersey Governor Chris Christie prepares to announce his candidacy today for president of the United States, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) reissued its report card on his first term in office.
Christie earned a grade of D+ for his record on civil liberties and civil rights. Now into his second term, Christie not only continues his poor performance, but raises new concerns about his record on key matters of constitutional rights.
"As Americans begin to consider candidates for the presidency, it is vitally important that they are informed about their candidates' records on constitutional rights and freedoms," said ACLU-NJ Executive Director Udi Ofer. "We hope that this guide will help voters become more informed about Governor Christie's stance on key civil liberties and civil rights issues."
The ACLU-NJ report card graded Christie on 12 crucial civil rights and liberties matters: freedom of expression, freedom of religion, separation of church and state, voting rights, women's rights, immigrants' rights, privacy, LGBT rights, criminal justice and drug policy, transparency, separation of powers, and economic justice.
"Governor Christie's record on civil liberties and civil rights has been a poor one," said Ofer. "Some of his most frustrating moments have been those times when he paid lip service to the protection of rights but failed to back up words with actions. For gay and lesbian New Jerseyans seeking to marry, sick patients in need of medical marijuana, or New Jerseyans seeking to learn basic information about their state government, the Christie administration has been a failure."
Christie's lowest grades were in the areas of transparency, separation of church and state, and separation of powers. The governor earned higher marks in other areas, such as freedom of religion. Following are some highlights (and lowlights).
Christie's second-term has raised other civil liberties and rights concerns. He has opposed early, in-person voting, dismissing it as an attempt at voter fraud despite the lack of evidence to support such claims. And eight months ago his administration issued an order requiring the detention of medical workers returning from one of three West African countries where they treated Ebola patients, even if they were asymptomatic. The decision was widely criticized by the medical community following the detention of a nurse, Kaci Hickox, at Newark Liberty International Airport. In the face of public pressure, he eventually released Hickox.
Finally, Christie has repeatedly stated that the Patriot Act does not violate civil liberties, despite the fact that numerous federal courts have found provisions of the Act to be unconstitutional and to violate civil liberties.
The Appellate Division of New Jersey Superior Court on Aug. 12 affirmed the rights of a man who was held in contempt of court (PDF) based on an expression of religious freedom. Appellate Division Judges Paulette Sapp-Peterson and Marie E. Lihotz ruled that two lower court judges had erred, one in holding Matthew Graham in contempt for refusing to remove a religious head-covering and another for failing to dismiss the contempt order even after having found that the municipal court judge did not follow proper procedures in issuing the citation. The Appellate Division dismissed the contempt order, marking a victory for both due process and the First Amendment. The ACLU-NJ first received notice of the order on Friday, Aug. 15.
"This order recognizes the obligation of our courts at every level to take both religious freedom and due process seriously," said ACLU-NJ Senior Staff Attorney Alexander Shalom, who argued the case on Graham's behalf. "No one, no matter his religion, should be forced to violate his religious principles by the very judges that are supposed to protect our rights."
When Matthew Graham went before Egg Harbor City Municipal Judge William Cappuccio in Oct. 2013, the judge held Graham in contempt for not removing his hat, despite Graham's explanation that he wore it for religious purposes. When Judge Cappuccio stated that he knew of no religion that required the wearing of a "ski cap," Graham attempted to explain that he lacked the funds to travel to the store where he could purchase a more traditional religious cap. Judge Cappuccio did not engage in a full hearing on the matter, and instead summarily held Graham in contempt for refusing to remove the cap.
Graham attempted to appeal the contempt finding from the municipal court to the Atlantic County Law Division. Because he could not afford the filing fee or transcript fee for an appeal, Graham sought to be declared indigent, which would relieve him of the financial obligations for those fees. However, Atlantic County Superior Court Presiding Judge Michael Donio refused to hold an indigency hearing or waive the fees, not because he thought Graham could afford them, but because Graham had disobeyed the lower court judge's command to uncover his head -- the very issue Graham sought to appeal.
In refusing to hold a hearing on Graham's indigency and ultimately refusing to waive the cost of the transcript, Judge Donio blocked Graham's access to the courts, a right that the Constitution grants even to those without money. The ACLU-NJ appealed that issue to the Appellate Division on Mr. Graham's behalf in January of 2014, and the Appellate Division ordered an indigency hearing. Mr. Graham was eventually provided with a transcript of the municipal court hearing free of charge and allowed to appeal his contempt finding.
Judge Donio did not address the constitutional issue in Graham's case, but he did agree that the municipal judge failed to follow proper procedure in issuing the citation. Instead of dismissing the contempt finding, as is required under the law, Judge Donio sent the matter back to the municipal court to give the municipal judge another opportunity to explain why he had held Mr. Graham in contempt.
Once again the ACLU-NJ appealed the case to the Appellate Division (PDF), resulting in the decision issued on Aug. 12. The ACLU-NJ explained that not only does case law require a dismissal, but that it is also inappropriate for a person to be forced back into court to appear before a judge simply because he was exercising his right to religious freedom.
The Appellate Division held: "We do not believe that wearing of what the municipal judge called a 'ski cap' during the proceeding compelled invocation of the extraordinary judicial contempt powers to summarily adjudicate defendant's conduct."
The order further stated: "Because the state concedes that the municipal judge failed to adhere to … procedural requirements … the adjudication of contempt was procedurally defective. The interest of justice is not served under this record by a remand."
"Given the Judiciary's scarce resources, it is disappointing that we needed to twice argue before the Superior Court and twice file appeals with the Appellate Division in order to vindicate basic principles of due process and religious freedom," said Shalom. "But, in the end, we're pleased that the courts properly protected Mr. Graham's rights."
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey has submitted a friend-of-the-court brief (PDF) on behalf of itself and numerous civil rights advocacy organizations in the case of Hassan, et al., v. City of New York, which challenges the New York City Police Department's (NYPD) surveillance of Muslims, mosques, and Muslim-owned businesses in New Jersey. The brief, which was submitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, explained that the lower court erred when it issued a decision in February dismissing the plaintiffs' claims.
The organizations on the brief included Latino Justice PRLDEF, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, the Garden State Bar Association, the Hispanic Bar Association, and the Association of Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey.
"When a person presents evidence that a government agency has singled them out for harsher treatment because of their race, ethnicity or religion, the government bears a heavy burden of justifying its actions," stated Rutgers Law School-Newark's Acting Dean Ronald Chen, who is serving as the ACLU-NJ's cooperating counsel in the case. "The plaintiffs deserve to have their day in court to challenge being profiled by the NYPD."
For years, the New York City Police Department secretly conducted surveillance that targeted Muslims living in New Jersey, until a Pulitzer Prize-winning Associated Press series uncovered the program. On February 21, 2014, U.S. District Court Judge William Martini dismissed the lawsuit, filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights and Muslim Advocates on behalf of eight Muslim residents of New Jersey, despite the serious constitutional concerns involved in targeting people for surveillance based solely on their religion.
"This appeal is significant, not only because it seeks to restore a challenge the NYPD's surveillance practices, but also because of what it could mean for future civil rights causes," said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Ed Barocas. "Our federal courts must be open to hearing discrimination claims. As explained in the brief, when the government profiles an entire group of people based solely on a characteristic such as ethnicity or religion, it has a ripple effect, causing others to fear and discriminate against that group."
The amicus brief in Hassan v. City of New York was filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
NEWARK - The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) has given Gov. Chris Christie a D+ (PDF) for his overall record on civil liberties and civil rights during his first term in office. The ACLU-NJ examined the governor's record in 12 issue areas and gave him his lowest grades in the areas of separation of church and state, transparency, and separation of powers.
The governor earned higher marks in other areas, such as freedom of religion and voting rights. The report card examines the Christie administration from January 19, 2010 when Gov. Christie was sworn into office, to January 20, 2014 when his first term ended.
"Gov. Christie's overall record on civil liberties and civil rights has been poor, ranging mostly from mediocre to failing," said ACLU-NJ Executive Director Udi Ofer. "The Christie administration's first-term record on civil liberties will be remembered for its assaults on judicial independence and the separation of church and state, as well as for its disdain for transparency. Some of Governor Christie's most frustrating civil liberties moments have been those instances where he has failed to back up bold words with substantive actions, such as in the areas of LGBT rights and the failed war on drugs."
The first-term report card graded the governor on 12 crucial civil rights and liberties issues: freedom of expression, freedom of religion, separation of church and state, voting rights, women's rights, immigrants' rights, privacy, LGBT rights, criminal justice and drug policy, transparency, separation of powers, and economic justice. This report card expanded on the categories of the ACLU-NJ's 2012 interim report card, which graded him in eight categories.
"The real concern here is not what these grades mean for Gov. Christie and his administration, but what they've meant for everyday New Jerseyans," said ACLU-NJ Public Policy Director Ari Rosmarin. "From loving couples seeking to get married, to sick patients in need of medical marijuana, to poor New Jerseyans struggling to find an affordable place to live, many of us have not had a friend in the Governor's office. While there still remains time to improve, as of now, this administration's legacy on civil rights and liberties is not a proud one."
Christie's highest grade came in the area of freedom of religion, the category in which he also earned his highest marks in the ACLU-NJ's interim report card. Christie deservedly received praise for supporting a developer's decision to construct a mosque and Muslim community center near the World Trade Center during the height of the controversy in 2011. Soon after, Christie garnered national attention for excoriating a faction that railed against the appointment of a Muslim lawyer to serve as a Superior Court judge.
Christie's appreciation for freedom of religion swung too far in the other direction when it came down to state involvement in religion. In the category of separation of church and state, Christie received the lowest score – an F. Especially damning was his administration's decision to give away millions in state funds to two sectarian religious institutions: Beth Medrash Govoha, a school that trains Orthodox rabbis, and Princeton Theological Seminary, which trains Christian clergy.
The ACLU-NJ recognized his administration's support for voting rights, especially in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, with a B-. In transparency, separation of powers and economic justice, Christie earned solid Fs for his abysmal record on all three issues across the board. The Bridgegate scandal exposed how frequently the administration attempted to keep government business out of the public eye, but it hardly stands in isolation.
Christie's protracted fight against marriage equality, which ended only when it became clear that he would lose, cast a long shadow over some of his gestures of good will toward the LGBT community, resulting in his final grade of a D in LGBT rights. When it comes to immigrants' rights, Gov. Christie supported giving undocumented immigrants a chance at a higher education by signing the NJ Dream Act, but he removed an important provision that would have fully opened the doors of opportunity by allowing them to apply for state financial aid, earning him an overall grade of a C in immigrants' rights. Gov. Christie earned Cs in a plurality of other subjects as well, including freedom of expression, women's rights, privacy, and criminal justice and drug policy, although even those grades ranged from C- to C+.
"The Christie administration deserves credit where credit is due, especially in taking a stand for religious expression and being responsive to voting concerns in the wake of Superstorm Sandy," said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Edward Barocas. "But where Gov. Christie stumbles, such as when it comes to the separation of powers and to transparency, the bottom falls out. We hope the governor learned his civil liberties lesson from numerous court actions that were successfully brought against his administration during his first term, but if not, we're ready to compel him to act as if he were an A student."
On May 1, the ACLU of New Jersey and other leading civil rights organizations hosted a civil rights and liberties debate in Princeton for candidates vying for the 12th Congressional District seat. The seat is being vacated by U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, who is retiring.
Democratic candidates Upendra Chivukula, Linda Greenstein, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Andrew Zwicker and Republican candidate Alieta Eck, squared off on a variety of questions about civil rights and civil liberties issues. The event was moderated by NJTV anchor Mike Schneider.
The ACLU works to protect the fundamental right of every adult citizen in New Jersey to cast a ballot and have that ballot counted. Call the League of Women Voters of New Jersey Election Day hotline: 1-800-792-VOTE (8683) if you encounter any problems at the polls on June 3rd.
Co-sponsoring organization included: AFSC Immigrant Rights Program, CAIR-NJ, Drug Policy Alliance- New Jersey, The Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc., New Jersey NAACP State Conference, YWCA Princeton, and YWCA Union County.

NEWARK – The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ), the national ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit today to stop the state of New Jersey from awarding more than $11 million in taxpayer funds to two higher education institutions dedicated solely to religious training and instruction.
The groups also filed a petition asking the court to immediately prevent the state from doling out grants to those two institutions, Beth Medrash Govoha and Princeton Theological Seminary.
"We support freedom of religion; however the government has no business funding religious ministries," said Ed Barocas, legal director of the ACLU of New Jersey. "Taxpayers should not foot the bill to train clergy or provide religious instruction, but the state is attempting to do exactly that."
On April 29, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration released a list of 176 college construction projects it intends to aid with money from a voter-approved bond. The New Jersey Constitution forbids any such taxpayer funds from supporting ministries or places of worship.
Yet Beth Medrash Govoha, an orthodox Jewish rabbinical school in Lakewood, is slated to receive $10.6 million from the state to pay for the construction of a new library and academic center. All courses of study at Beth Medrash Govoha are classified as "Theology/Theological Studies" or "Talmudic Studies." The school prepares students to become rabbis and religious educators.
Similarly, Princeton Theological Seminary, a Presbyterian Christian seminary located in Princeton, is slated to receive $645,323 from the state. All courses of study at the seminary either prepare students to serve as ministers or priests in Christian religious traditions or to serve as religious educators. The New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education's website identifies the school as a "theological institution."
"Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the training of clergy," said Alex J. Luchenitser, associate legal director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "These grants plainly violate the separation of church and state enshrined in the New Jersey Constitution."
Giving public money to Beth Medrash Govoha also violates the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. The school is identified in federal records as a single-sex school with only male students. According to state records, its entire student body of 6,538 students was all-male in 2012, and all 79 members of its faculty were male during 2011.
"The state of New Jersey has an important role to play in providing financial support for institutions of higher learning in our state, but public money should not be used to fund schools that are not open and welcoming to all students in New Jersey ," said Udi Ofer, executive director of the ACLU of New Jersey. "State funding of higher education should not be done at the expense of the separation of church and state."
The lawsuit was filed in Superior Court in Trenton. The plaintiffs in the case are the ACLU-NJ, the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of New Jersey (UULMNJ) and Gloria Schor Andersen, a Voorhees Township resident who has been a public-school and a Hebrew School teacher/tutor. Andersen is also Speaker-at-Large for the Delaware Valley Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
"As a member of the clergy, I recognize the important responsibility that faith groups have in training their next generation of leaders," said the Rev. Craig Hirshberg, executive director of UULMNJ. "However, their religious studies should not be funded by taxpayers. When the government financially supports religious groups, it provides privileges to particular religions over others and diverts designated public funds away from programs that should benefit all citizens."
The Legislature has until June 28 to reject the grants. Some lawmakers have raised similar concerns about funding religious ministries and pressed the state for more information about its selection process.
In addition to the lawsuit, the ACLU-NJ has filed several open records requests with the state to learn more about the nature of the schools receiving funding and how the grants were awarded. The state failed to release scoring sheets and other records documenting how it determined who should receive the grants.
"These grants fly in the face of important state safeguards that protect the religious liberty of all New Jersey taxpayers," said Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief.
Along with Barocas, Luchenitser, and Mach, the attorneys representing the plaintiffs include Frank Corrado of Barry, Corrado & Grassi, P.C.; Lenora Lapidus and Mie Lewis of the ACLU Women's Rights Project; and Ayesha Khan, legal director of Americans United.

Current principal of Thomas McKean High School has accepted job as principal of Newark CharterThomas McKean High School Principal Dr. Lisa Ueltzhoffer has led the ongoing turnaround of this Red Clay school in Milltown, where she has been principal for the last four years and an assistant principal prior to that for three years.
But Ueltzhoffer has accepted an offer to become the first principal of the new Newark Charter Jr./Sr. High School.
Ueltzhoffer sat down with the Hockessin Community News to reflect on her time at McKean and the new challenge that lies before her.
MORE ABOUT DR. UELTZHOFFERAGE 39FAMILY Husband John, children - Johnny 12, Emma 10TOWN NewarkEDUCATION Doctorate of Education, Policy and Practice – University of Delaware; Masters of Education, Instruction – Wilmington University; B.S. Health and Physical Education , University of Delaware; diploma, Newark High SchoolFavoritesFAMILY VACATION Outer BanksACTIVITY Walks with my kids and our dog "Charlie"PASSTIME Cheering on my kids at their sporting events.
Q What accomplishments are you most proud of during your tenure leading McKean?
A I am most proud of working with an amazing group of educators through an aggressive restructuring process to move McKean from an underperforming school to an award-winning school! Through this process I feel that we have restored "Highlander Pride" and created a breadth of amazing opportunities for our students.
Q What is the key to McKean maintaining its momentum going forward?
A McKean is a special place because of the dedicated professionals committed to our students. The continued success of McKean will be to stay the course and ensure the "right people" continue to do the "right work" in this family oriented community. In the last year, [Red Clay Superintendent] Dr. Mervin Daugherty has made significant investments in McKean through the upgrade of our career and technical education facilities. These facilities will allow our students to have access to industry standard tools to ensure their college and career readiness.
Q Why did you accept the challenge of leading the high school component of Newark Charter School?
A It was a very difficult decision to leave Red Clay Consolidated School District and McKean. I had envisioned spending the remainder of my career in the district because of the high quality professionals I have worked with and because of the systemic strength. The prospect of opening Newark Charter Jr./Sr. High School provides a unique opportunity for me to utilize my skills while facing new challenges in the community where I live. NCS's tradition of success is one I look forward to continuing.
Page 2 of 2 - Q Do you have mixed feelings about leaving?
A Anytime you make a place your "home" and then choose to leave you have a catharsis of feelings. Being a Highlander is an important part of my journey and one I will cherish. I will miss my students, families, colleagues and friends. At the same time, I find the new challenges ahead at Newark Charter to be exhilarating.

[UPDATE] 4/14 at 8:01 p.m. --
The fire has been ruled accidental, according to Remerton Fire Chief Ronald Woods.
An overnight fire destroys a favorite Valdosta restaurant.
Around 3 a.m. Tuesday, Remerton fire officials responded to the Zaxby's on Baytree Road, according to Fire Chief Ronald Woods.
Firefighters say the entire back half of the restaurant was engulfed in flames and they believe it may have started in the kitchen.
"On arrival on scene, we had smoke and flames visible coming out of the windows and some getting through the roof," said Woods. "So, we immediately called in for backup from Lowndes County Fire Rescue."
Investigators battled the fire for more than two hours.
Officials say no injuries were reported.
And more information is expected after the fire marshal completes his investigation.

The demo supports local adventure but not online, the full version has online and local on all game modes.
Game developer
The demo supports local adventure but not online, the full version has online and local on all game modes.
No, it's a one time fee.
The real problem for this is bad connection between you two, we are working on a fix that handles this better. Untill then the only thing you can do is cleaning up your connection, one solution might be playing throuh hamachi, if you aren't allready.
goto "C:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\Bloody Trapland", rightclick "Bloody Trapland.exe" and choose "Run as administrator"
Hey, check out this thread and see if it helps:
Give them your ip address and they can join you through "Manual Join" button in the server lobby.
Yes, just install with the same Desura account and everything should work fine.
This is often caused by too many lost network packages and/or a bad connection between you and your friend. We are however working on a patch to stabilize this, in the mean time make sure both of you have a clean connection.
I will need a bit more information to say exactly what going on here.
Does "AppData\Roaming\Bloody Trapland" have an Error folder, if so please post the error report in the forum.
Also try installing/repairing both XNA 4.0 and .Net 4.0
Let me know how it works out for you!(both)
Try deleting this folder:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bloody Trapland
Then relaunch the game and let it load until something happens.
Inside Desura client? If so, try downloading the standalone instead. (link at top-right of this page)
Inside Desura client -> click "Play" (top of client) -> Right click Bloody Trapland in game list -> View CD-Key
You need to install the full version of the game, there is a download link at the top right of this page.
Hi Kingxdead,
Please make a new post in the support form and give me as much details as you can. And I'll help you out.
Also, check and see if a crashreport was generated:
C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Roaming\Bloody Trapland\Errors
No problem, just glad to help.
Are both you and your friend connected to the same hamachi lobby? No, you have to connect using that IP to play over hamachi.
Try connecting using hamachi, that may lower your ping a bit.
You find the key by doing:
Inside Desura client -> click "Play" (top of client) -> Right click Bloody Trapland in game list -> View CD-Key
if it stills says they are in use, please pm me.
Yes, it requires co-op to reach the secret area :)
Please go to our support forum and post your latest crashreport and i will have a look at it.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bloody Trapland\Errors
Hi Quaxon,
Unfortunately we only support xbox 360 controllers at the moment, but this should work to play with any usb controller:
Thanks! :)
Too much trolls? ;)
We are currently working on it, utill that time you may however host a game through hamachi to make the game private.
Strange, works for me. Try downloading the standalone instead.
Hi agusena.
There was just released a new patch for the game. Please download that and try again.
If that dosen't work, goto:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Bloody Trapland\crashrapports
and post it as a new thread in the forum and we will work it out.
The issue stated in that forum is related to old patch that messed up saves, so the fix might be the same, but the issue is new and unheard of.
Would be great if you could send the crash rapport with your name as a comment, and I'll look into it, thanks.
We are currently wating for Desura to verify the files, you may however download the stand alone right if you want, check your inbox and i will send you the link.
Hi Felioves.
the most common reason for this is lack of XNA 4.0, or a corrupt .Net 4.0 install.
Try installing/reparing theese:
Hi tavi, I Am sorry to hear that. But there is actually a new version being uploaded as I speak, so hopefully it will take care of all graphic related issues and crashbugs you are experiencing.
The reason for your server not showing up in the server list is probably due to a firewall/router. You need to open/forward port 6883 to be able to host games that are shown in the lobby.
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Hi nickalee,
Sorry for the late reply
There is a guide about it here:

Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The rating system in iTunes (and Windows Media Player, Winamp, MediaMonkey et al) allows you to set your personal rating. There currently no feature to allow iTunes to import ratings from third party services. Drop a line to iTunes Feedback with the suggestion if you like.
the fiend Nov 13, 2012 1:47 PM
in response to ccooper737
Have I understood you correctly?
You want your choice of songs, in your Library, to be rated with someone else's choice on how much you like the songs.
ccooper737 Dec 10, 2012 6:24 AM
in response to ccooper737
Fiend - I don't know how you made the leap to from wanting access to industry standard ratings to having the manual capability removed. I have used other rating services that provide the star ratings and I found them helpful in creating playlists. Especially when there is a large number of songs to sort/select.
If I was doing the design, I would have a field for user ratings and another field with industry standard ratings for other prople to use. I'd probably have an option to comingle or copy feature of the two for maximum flexability.
Instead of a "smart" response, perhaps you should look at the potential of the request.
I'm sure you'll have another "smart" retort which I'll be happy to ignore.
turingtest2 Dec 10, 2012 6:55 AM
in response to ccooper737
We're fellow users here. As before you can send the suggestion to iTunes Feedback. Frankly I'm not interested in third party ratings of my media but I suppose there might be some merit in it as an additional piece of information, not that you made that suggestion originally...
Drawbacks: Manual track and album ratings plus automatic track and album ratings derived from manual ones already cause enough confusion, particularly when smart playlists become involved. Which third party rating service are you going to use? Who is to pay for the data? Apple or the user? Or did you just want the iTunes Store popularity rating which I presume is based on store download rates and is therefore probably skewed to recent releases?
the fiend Dec 10, 2012 8:03 AM
in response to ccooper737
Perhaps you haven't explained clearly enough, because I'm none the wiser. I made the association, not leap, from the post you left and actually asked if I had understood you correctly.
Many people here are probably aware of my sometimes caustic reponses, but I genuinely cannot see the merit in having industry ratings imposed on a personal collection. I would hate it.
Along the lines that tt2 has mentioned, I have experience of marking a song with a rating, only to find the whole album marked with that same rating, when it's most definitely not what I wanted. It makes it impossible to mark songs on an album with different ratings, and I have had to battle with one or two albums to get them rated with my preferred rating, not someone else's.
Anyway, as tt2 has suggested, you can send your idea as feedback to Apple, which makes more sense than posting your questio here. Especially as, to answer your original question music ratings - why isn't it automated?, would call for speculation on our part about an Apple decision, which is forbidden by Apple in their forums.
ccooper737 Dec 10, 2012 9:16 AM
in response to ccooper737
Yes your reply was a bit caustic hence my intial response.
I completely agree with the issue regarding the loss of being able to rank a single song. Individual song ranking was a feature a while back but something changed in a later release (either deliberate or perhaps a defect that hasn't been fixed). When I updated a song and it updated the entire album, that's the last time I used Apple's ranking field. Not at all useful in my thinking and I haven't played with it since.
Many years ago with Windows Media, the song information downloaded included the "industry" ranking. This was helpful when you have 1000's of songs to manage. The user could create playlists leveraging what the "industry" experts thought was a 5 star song. You got a fairly decent playlist although there were songs I didn't necessarily agree. The software provided the user the option to override/modify. Another way to think of it, lets say you have 4000 songs in your library. If you disagree with 50% of the rankings then only 50% had to be modified. It saved a lot of keystrokes.
I'll give my feedback to apple but I have found that potential enhancements that have a lot of activity in a forum sometimes bubble to the top of the list more quickly.
Thanks for your responses

I have well over 4000 songs in my Library (as a result of years of collecting) but I wouldn't place any faith in industry rankings. None at all.
Sorry, but that's my opinion. You are entitled to yours, and I'm not knocking you.

2011 Ford F-250 SuperDuty
February 1, 2011
Ford's SuperDuty F-250 rides and handles well in every road situation imaginable.
F-Series pickups don't come any more loaded with luxury features than Ford's King Ranch trim level package. This is clearly a styling cue meant to appeal to people who take horses to shows and rodeos, as evidenced by the plush leather appointments, wood-grain trimmed dash and special-edition wheels. With style and comfort the overriding theme here, it's no surprise to find this truck packed with a wide array of amenities, including heated and cooled seats, sun roof and power-sliding rear window, Ford's top-of-the-line HVAC climate control system, full audio-visual entertainment system, power-folding side-mount mirrors and an intimidating driver information system that turned out to be amazingly intuitive and simple to operate.
SuperDuty fans who were worried that International no longer will supply the PowerStroke diesel engine can rest easy: The new Ford-developed 6.7-liter diesel under the King Ranch's hood proved to be highly impressive and productive. It is surprisingly quiet, even when working hard to get the big truck rolling from a traffic stop. The engine – predictably – kicks out plenty of low-end torque, but a pleasant surprise was the instantaneous power you can call on when passing at highway speeds. There is absolutely no turbo lag: The new Ford PowerStroke diesel accelerates with all the swagger of a large V-8 gas engine.
Fuel economy isn't bad, considering both the size of the engine and the mass it has to move down the highway. Ford's driver information center features real-time fuel economy data with a configurable window, giving you a look at your MPG performance over the past 5 minutes. (You can choose other timeframe options.) I found that my fuel mileage in city traffic varied from a low of 14 mpg up to 17 mpg, with 16 mpg being the norm. On the highway, that figure climbed to almost 19 mpg.
Despite its size – this is a real brute of a truck – the F-250 SuperDuty rides and handles well in every road situation imaginable. The four-wheel-drive engagement system is quick and easy to use, and will snap your head backward if you get too aggressive with the throttle in four-low. On the road, steering is straightforward and tight. And despite its bulk, the SuperDuty proved to be surprisingly nimble in parking lots and city traffic.
Ford deserves a lot of praise for its 2011 SuperDuty line. Losing International as an engine partner was a huge hurdle that the company clearly has overcome with the development of its new diesel family. As a result, Ford SuperDuty trucks haven't skipped a beat in terms of comfort, performance and pure power.

Girth - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
As a child, Ned waited every day at the boys' school for a letter from his dad. On Halloween he finally received something: a pre-printed card saying that his dad was moving. Ned ran away and, disguised as a ghost, went to his father's new house to see that he had remarried.
An ex-jockey, Louis Shoemaker, is working in a stable when a ghostly figure rides in on a horse… and tramples him to death.
Chuck is decorating the Pie Hole for Halloween but Olive warns her that Ned doesn't like Halloween. Chuck is more curious about what Olive told her aunts, but Olive refuses to tell her anything. Ned comes in and hates the Halloween decorations, while Olive hears about Shoemaker's death. The police say he was accidentally trampled to death but Olive believes he was murdered and takes out a lot of money from her safe deposit box. She hires Emerson to investigate Shoemaker's death and reveals that she was once a jockey who competed against Shoemaker.
Emerson, Ned, and Chuck go to the morgue and interrogate Shoemaker's corpse, and he reveals he was killed by a ghost: the ghost of John Joseph Jacobs, a jockey who died seven years ago. Shoemaker warns that Jacobs will kill again before Ned is forced to re-kill him. They tell Olive and she gives them a list of the other jockeys who raced against Shoemaker: herself, Pinky, and Gordon. Emerson goes to Pinky's jockey bar while Ned lies about going to the stable to look for clues. Chuck realizes he's lying and when Ned won't tell her what, she goes to the stable with Digby.
Emerson and Olive go to Pinky's bar where Gordon the ex-jockey and wino is, and Gordon warns about the ghost of Jacobs who emerges from his grave to seek vengeance on his killers. Olive and Emerson go to Jacobs' tomb but when they open the coffin they find the skeleton of a legless horse.
Chuck goes to the stable and finds cracker crumbs, then Emerson shows up and surprises her. She finds crackers crumbs as well. Meanwhile, Ned has gone back to his old house, and remembers how he hid there as a child after seeing his father at his new home. Meanwhile, Chuck, Olive, and Emerson go to see Jacobs' mother who is okay with Olive despite the fact that Olive trampled her son to death when he fell off of his horse. Olive won the race, literally over Jacobs' dead body. Mamma Jacobs has her son's ashes in his trophy cup on the mantle, and explains that she secretly substituted beloved Jacobs' horse, All the Gold, into his coffin. they leave, unaware that someone was watching them from the basement. Meanwhile, the ghostly horseman appears at Pinky's bar and tramples him to death.
Ned goes next door to Vivian and Lily and talks with them about his father, who they say was jerk. When Ned has a piece of their pie, he realizes it's from the Pie hole and that Chuck is having pies delivered to them to keep in contact. He leaves even after Vivian tries to comfort him.
Ned meets with the others and after Chuck gets Olive out, they interrogate Pinky's corpse. Pinky confesses that he fixed races and explains that one of them cut the girth on Jacobs' saddle, which caused him to fall so Olive trampled him. Pinky, Shoemaker, and Gordon conspired together to hide the information over Olive's objections then burn the saddle to hide the sabotage. When Olive comes back they explain that Pinky briefly revived and explained things.
They take Olive to her apartment and lock her up, then Ned and Emerson go to collect Gordon. Olive sees her trophy outside and goes out to the roof to get it… and finds herself face to face with John Joseph Jacobs. He's alive and two foot taller, and Chuck knocks him down. When he comes to, he reveals that he was revived after his "death," but his legs were broken in the fall. He had his horse's legs transplanted onto his and has spent the last few years learning how to walk while living in his mother's basement. Olive tells him it's time to move on with his life and Jacobs agrees with her.
Chuck and Olive takes john back to his mother's house, but as he goes to find them the women realize that she likes crackers. Realizing that Jacobs' ashes can't be real since he's not dead, they check them and realize that it's the incinerated saddle. The horseman gallops into the house and reveals that he is… Mama Jacobs, who wants revenge for her son losing the chance to race.
Emerson and Ned have collected Gordon, who reveals that Shoemaker confessed everything to Mamma Jacobs and gave her the saddle ashes. They head for the house where Olive and Chuck have run into the woods to get away. When Chuck twists her ankle, Olive gets her to safety then lures Mamma Jacobs to her. Ned rescues Olive and Emerson clubs Mamma Jacobs unconscious with a shovel. However, Ned drops Olive and goes to Chuck's aid as soon as he realizes she's there.
Mamma Jacobs goes to jail and John Joseph Jacobs gets what's left of the trophy money from Olive, who is glad to give it to him. Ned drives Chuck to her aunt's house where she dresses up as a ghost and goes up to their door to trick-and-treat and meet with them again.

I purchased a new Cervelo P3 (2014) Ultegra Di2 in April. No problems with Di2 until a few weeks ago. I could easily go 500-700 miles between charges. A few weeks ago the battery went completely dead 3 or 4 days after charging with hardly any riding. The first time i didn't think much of it and just recharged the battery for my ride the next morning. This happened again a few days later and I took it to my LBS where i purchased the bike. They ran a diagnostic test on the Di2 system and other than a few firmware upgrades everything checked out fine. So, I got the bike back 4 days ago with a fully charged battery, road it about 30 miles 3 days ago and this morning battery is completely dead again.
I bought this bike for IM Louisville (Aug. 24) and I have to ship it on (Aug 15), 6 days from now. My LBS techs have been helpful but i am nervous that they really don't know what the problem is. I've reached out to them again this morning and they got back to me. He seems to think its a problem with the system not going to "sleep" like it should when not in use. He's going to contact Shimano.
The bike was brand new, no accidents, its been stored inside, etc. there is no clear reason that I can think of as to why something would have gone wrong. At this point, given that I am running out of time I think my LBS just needs to replace any and all of the Di2 components that could be the problem. I think Shimano has a 2 year warranty on their components to hopefully this won't be big deal.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I will be calling Shimano obviously but any other advice is greatly appreciated.

"There are a lot of young people and even those up to 40 or so years old who are doing new business experiments," said Jose Ramon Pin, a business management professor at the IESE Business School in Madrid. "And there's a natural selection of companies under way. Those that survive the crisis or start during it have the advantage: The market will be theirs when the economy bounces back."When the architects of Factoria 5 started their company as Spain's economy lurched into a deep double-dip recession, some of their parents told them they were crazy. The would-be entrepreneurs, however, had all just finished their architecture degrees plus digital media masters degrees and sensed they could fill a niche by becoming high-tech content suppliers to Spanish architects who no longer had work at home but were increasingly designing projects for foreign clients. The only other option was seeking work abroad.
