It's Your DNA... Or Is It? ACLU Suit Aims to Keep Your Genetic Blueprint out of the Government's Hands
On a crisp Saturday in March 2009, Lily Haskell set out to join a peace rally in San Francisco to oppose the Iraq war. What she didn't know at the time was that by the end of the day, she would be forced to turn a DNA sample over to be placed in a national databank.
During the demonstration, Haskell was arrested on suspicion of trying to help another protester held by police–a felony. She was held for several hours in a San Francisco jail. Though not formally charged with any crime, Haskell was told that she must provide a DNA sample. Alarmed, she asked to speak with an attorney but was informed that refusing to give a sample would result in an automatic misdemeanor charge. She consented.
"Now my genetic information is stored indefinitely in a government database, simply because I was exercising my right to speak out," Haskell said.
Haskell was later released, and no charges were filed against her.
Haskell is now the lead plaintiff in the ACLU of Northern California's class action lawsuit seeking to stop California's policy of mandating that DNA be collected from anyone arrested for a felony, whether or not they are charged or convicted. The suit, Haskell v. Brown, was filed in federal court in October 2009. The mandatory DNA collection policy is a result of Proposition 69, which was enacted by California voters in 2004 and went into effect on Jan. 1, 2009.
Under the new law, anyone arrested for a felony must provide a DNA sample that is then stored in a criminal database accessible to local, state, national, and international law enforcement agencies. The requirement can be applied to victims of domestic violence who are arrested after defending themselves as well as to individuals who have committed non-violent offenses like writing a bad check and to people who are wrongfully arrested.
In the lawsuit, the ACLU of Northern California is arguing that the law violates constitutional guarantees of privacy and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure.
"Forcing a person to provide a DNA sample without any judicial oversight violates the constitution," said Michael Risher, ACLU of Northern California staff attorney. "The result of this new program is that thousands of innocent Californians will be subject to a lifetime of genetic surveillance because a single police officer suspected them of a crime."
The chilling implications for free speech are of great concern.
Aakash Desai, a UC Berkeley graduate student in environmental engineering, participated in one of the recent large demonstrations against university fee hikes and custodial layoffs. He was arrested and taken to the Berkeley city jail, where he was told he was being charged with felony burglary. Like Haskell, Desai learned that refusal to provide a DNA sample is itself a misdemeanor and would result in a higher bail amount. He relented and swabbed the inside of his cheek seven times, as the law mandates.
"I felt like I was being burglarized," Desai noted in a declaration to the Court. "Each swab was like being coerced into giving up part of my being."
People like Haskell and Desai who are innocent and were not even charged with a crime can seek to have their DNA sample expunged from the state database, but the process is cumbersome.
When another plaintiff, Jeffrey Patrick Lyons, contacted the San Francisco District Attorney's office seeking information about how to have his DNA removed from the database, he was told that he would have to file a motion and to consult with a lawyer. Because Lyons had been represented by a court-appointed lawyer, he was not sure where to turn next. Like Haskell and Desai, Lyons had been arrested at a political demonstration. His case was dismissed.
"Automatically collecting DNA from people who are merely arrested ignores the presumption of innocence. It blurs the line between being suspected of a crime and being convicted," Risher added.
The ACLU of Northern California's lawsuit also points to the huge racial impact of the mandatory DNA collection law. People of color are already disproportionately represented in California's criminal justice system. Racial profiling and heavy police presence in neighborhoods that are predominantly made up of people of color are likely to exacerbate the problem.
The United Kingdom's broad national DNA database has already been found to have significant racial disparities. The organizations GeneWatch UK and Oakland- based Generations Ahead report stark figures: that country's DNA database contains records on 27 percent of the black population but just 6 percent of the white population. In late November 2009, the BBC reported on a former UK police chief who testified that police officers in England and Wales had made arrests just to get people into the DNA database.
Data from the California Department of Justice reveal that nearly one-third of the hundreds of thousands of arrests every year in California on suspicion of a felony never result in a conviction. A disproportionate number of these arrestees are people of color.
Meanwhile, California's huge forensic DNA database–the third largest in the world–already faces tremendous backlogs. The resources spent collecting thousands upon thousands of DNA samples from arrestees consume resources that could instead be devoted to processing crime-scene samples to help solve violent and serious crimes like rape, assault, and murder.
Update at press time:
Shortly after filing this lawsuit, the ACLU of Northern California asked the court for a preliminary injunction to stop the state from collecting DNA from people who have merely been arrested. That motion was heard on Dec. 4, 2009. In a disappointing ruling on Dec. 23, 2009, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer denied ACLU's request for a preliminary injunction. The ACLU of Northern California filed an appeal of the denial of the preliminary injunction. On Jan. 29, the court certified the case as a class action, and denied the government's motion to dismiss the case. The lawsuit and advocacy for genetic justice continues.

MeditationMeditation for PeaceListening Regularly to Dhamma Teachings # 2Mark of a good listener to the DhammaMark of a good listener to the Dhamma1. Not look down on the level of knowledge of the teacher:Do not think that the monk is young, you are older than the monk and you have listened to the sermons of senior well-known monks many times, therefore there is nothing you can learn from the young monk.Pay always respect and encourage the monk to teach Dhamma so he or she can increase their self-confidence.The Buddha warned that there are four things which you should never underestimate the importance of:- A young king: some kings have3 reigned since they were at young age (e.g. Alexander the Great reigned over half of the world since he was not yet twenty years old.- A small poisonous snake: you can die from the bite even of a smack snake.- A small fire: even a small fire can burn down an entire city.- A novice: some have become Arahants at the age of seven.2. Not being conceited:Do not think that you are more knowledgeable in Dhamma than the monk. Only because you have a Bachelor, Master or Doctor Degree and more worldly experience than the monk.If you assume that you are better than the Dhamma teacher, you will miss the opportunity to gain the knowledge and useful thought through listening to the Dhamma teaching. Like "Uruvela Kassapa" who always believed that he was an Arahant and superior to the Lord Buddha, so he never listened to the teaching from the Buddha. Until the end, when the Buddha warned him to stop being conceited that he is an Arahant, he finally repented and diligently listened to the Dhamma teaching from the Buddha with respect until he attained the Dhamma within and became Arahant.You should be able to deliberate upon and analyze the Dhamma as youlisten ingeniously so that you can understand the Dhamma profoundly with ease.3. Keep concentrated, not trying to find faults in the teachings:The better your mind is concentrated as you listen to the Dhamma, the more you will understand. If you are always looking to find faults with the teacher, you will lose your concentration, and not be able to follow through and never gain any knowledge or understanding of the dhamma.4. Be wise; means be intelligent:You should be able to deliberate upon and analyze the Dhamma as you listen ingeniously so that you can understand the Dhamma profoundly with ease. For those who have difficulty to understand the Dhamma, do not look down on yourself that you are not intelligent enough to acquire the Dhamma knowledge. Although you can not understand the Dhamma right now, but at the very least, this will become your predisposition in the next life when you rehear the Dhamma items again, you will be able to understand it with ease.5. Not look down on the subject of Dhamma being taught:Never think that "it is too easy for me, I already understand it thoroughly, and I don't need any further explanation"Listen to Dhamma teaching will bring many benefits to us. Even though it is what we already are knowledgeable of, but having listened to that Dhamma items again will allow us to be more proficient/masterful in the Dhamma subjects, like Venerable Kappina who at the first time of Stream Enterer. Having listened to the same Dhamma teaching from the Lord Buddha again, he finally became Arahant.Listen to Dhamma teaching will bring many benefits to us.Predispositions acquired through listening to the Dhamma regularlyPrdispositions refers to our behaviours or familiarities from the past that will gradually become our predispositions for the future.Listening to the Dhamma teaching is a way to cultivate the virtue as the "Capital asset" of life and as a predisposition for the future existence. It can also help us to progress and to attain the Dhamma within with ease. As The Lord Buddha taught us that the person who regularly listens to the Dhamma, puts the effort to learn and to comprehend, or even try to learn the Dhamma by heart without comprehension, the person will gain these four meritorious deedes:1. After passing away, in the subsequent existence, one will be in the heaven realm. One will have the comprehensive wisdom to understand quickly the Dhamma by one self, able to quickly recollect the Dhamma and able to practice the dhamma till attaining the path and fruit of Nirvana with ease.2. After passing away, in the subsequent existence, one will be in the heaven realm. When a celestial Buddhist monk with super natural power arises to teach the Dhamma, one will be able to recollect the Dhamma and attain the path and fruit of Nirvana with ease.3. After passing away, in the subsequent existence, one will be in the heaven realm. When an angel teaches the Dhamma, one will be able to recollect the Dhamma and able to attain the path and fruit of the Nirvana with ease.4. After passing away, in the subsequent existence, one will be in the heaven realm. Even without the celestial Buddhist monk with supernatural power or the angel colleagues to expound the Dhamma, but after listening to the other angelsDhamma and able to attain the path and fruit of the Nirvana with ease.Those who regularly perform their Morning and Evening Chanting, although they might not understand the meaning of those Pali terms, it is certainly not a waste of time because at the very least it will bring the stillness of mind and familiarity with the Pali terms or phrase, so that in a future existence even overhearing the sound of chanting or sermon, one will put effort to get the opportunity to listen to the Dhamma teaching and be able to understand it with ease as a result of the past disposition they have built up, and enable them to attain the path and fruits of Nirvana with ease.Purifying the mind and bringing happinessThe Benefits of listening to the Dhamma1. Hearing things never before heard:Because the Dhamma teacher will always put in the effort to find new items of Dhamma for the listener, if we attend a Dhamma sermon, we will be hearing something we have never heard before.2. Clarifying things already heard:If the subject of the sermon is what we have already heard before, at the very least, it will allow us to revise and deepen what we already know and raise our mastery to a new level allowing us to better memorize it.3. Dispelling one's doubts:If one still has some reluctance to give up some unwholesome habits or strive for some new wholesome habits, after hearing the Dhamma sermon, all the doubt and reluctance will be dispelled. One will gibe up unwholesomeness and strive for wholesomeness in no time.4. Straightening one's view: In the course of our everyday life as we journey in pursuit of virtue, we could be influenced by the defilements and many obstacles which might conspire to infiltrate our thinking with "false views" [miccha ditthi]. Such false views can eventually lead our spiritual cultivation to deviate from the objectives we have set. The advantage of regularly hearing Dhamma teachings is that we will be able to identify the working of "False View" in our mind and to uproot these by cultivating the "Right View" [samma ditthi].5. Purifying the mind and bringing happiness:Hearing a Dhamma sermon will help reminding us to keep our mind out of distraction with sensuality, vengeance and aggression, It makes it clearer to us where our weaknesses lie and raise up our morality giving us the ways to overcome those weaknesses definitively and ultimately attaining the path and fruit of Nirvana."O! you who see the danger in the cycles of existence [samsara], in what so ever era the Noble Disciples hear the Dhamma, listen to the marrow of their bones, listen to the innermost part of their mind, and who muster all their encouragement, bending their ears to listen in earnest-in that era their Five hindrances will be overcome and their Seven Factors of Enlightenment [bojjhanga] will be brought to completion through the power of their meditation."

A Tallahassee teen is shot in the stomach as he and another teen argue over a girl. It happened early Wednesday morning while most of us were sleeping, but neighbors in Tanglewood Estates say they heard the shots loud and clear.
This dusty corner is quiet now, but just after 3 a.m. deputies say 16-year-old Ross Bennett pulled out a gun and shot a 17-year-old in the gut.
"When the one showed up at the residence of the other one, he was already standing out in the yard waiting on him and then, according to the witness statements we got, tried to sic a dog on him, have the dog attack the people that showed up. The dog failing to do so, he then began firing shots at them, striking the one teenager in the abdomen," said SGT Tim Baxter with the Leon County Sheriff's Office.
Bennett's mother is distraught saying her youngest son has never been in any trouble and claims the other teen had threatened to kill her son and his family. Neighbors call the early morning gunfire shocking.
"I can't believe this young man shot somebody, one young life, two young lives gone down the hill over little stuff that they could have sat down and talked about," said neighbor Darlene Matthews.
Deputies don't know for sure how many shots were fired on the corner of Conifer and Druid. Witnesses say two to four. The 17-year-old underwent surgery Wednesday morning and at last word was in intensive care in stable condition.
Bennett is charged with attempted murder and is being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center.

RFF and RFF Experts in the News
Is Automobile Fuel Economy Hitting a Dead End?
"Chrysler has been Tesla's biggest customer. At first glance, it may seem peculiar to have Chrysler buyers subsidize the purchases of Tesla's $100,000 luxury cars, but that's the way CAFE is designed to work, according to Benjamin Leard, an economist at Resources for the Future, a Washington, D.C., think thank."
"Leard, the economist, said: 'Having either a carbon tax or gasoline tax would be preferable to CAFE.' Others agree. But the likelihood of this Congress or the next one raising taxes or imposing new ones is slim. The federal gas tax, which stands at 18.4 cents a gallon, was last raised in 1993."
Quoted People:
China's Latest Idea for Cleaning up Air Pollution Could Be Horrible for Climate Change
"A report last year from Zhongmin Wang of the Paulson Institute examined some of the challenges here. Unlike in the US, oil and gas companies can't just buy up mineral rights from private individuals, so the incentives to drill don't always line up well. Scarce water and the rather unique geology of China's shale have also posed a challenge for drilling projects."
Quoted People:
Boom Was Mostly Good for Local Finances -- Report
"Diversification is a great target for localities that have been touched by the shale boom, Newell told an audience yesterday at Resources for the Future's (RFF) Washington, D.C., headquarters. But in extremely remote places like western North Dakota, it might be an unrealistic goal, he said."

Letters to the Editor
"You could have cited Fred Hirsch's masterful 'Social Limits to Growth', first published in 1976. If more refined measures of GDP do only a better job of accounting for the consumption of material goods and services, they will not capture the paradoxical phenomenon so sharply articulated in the book by Hirsch, a former financial editor at The Economist. I refer to 'positional goods', which bestow social status. Their implication for enhanced social welfare is primarily through the change in relative status conferred by the consumption of such goods."
Quoted People:
High Energy Growth, Fossil Fuel Dependence Forecast Through 2040
"The numbers in the report 'indicated the challenge for the world to reduce global CO2 emissions substantially by 2040 and beyond,' Jan Mares, senior policy adviser with Resources for the Future, told Eos."
Quoted People:
Dealing with Disasters
"'There's a real trade-off,' says Carolyn Kousky, a fellow at Resources for the Future, a nonpartisan think tank devoted to natural resource and environmental issues. 'If you want people to buy, then you don't want it to be too expensive. But if you're not pricing it at a risk-based level, then it's not going to be a fiscally sound program.'"

RGGI Officials Consider Tighter Emissions Cap, Tweaks to Cost Containment Reserve
"Speaking at an April 29 learning session that followed the stakeholder review meeting, Dallas Burtraw, Darius Gaskins senior fellow at Resources for the Future, said there are two sides to the cost containment reserve. On the one side, there is a price floor implemented with a reserve price, or minimum acceptable bid, in the auction.
'If market prices (and buyer willingness to pay) is below the reserve price, then some portion of allowances will not be sold or enter the market. Tighter supply will support the price,' Burtraw said in a presentation."
Quoted People:
U.S. Cities Taking Lead in Green Building
"Fifteen cities now have benchmarking and disclosure laws, which require building owners to report their buildings' annual energy use to the local government, according to Dr. Margaret Walls of Resources for the Future. These include the early adopters of Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, and New York, which passed their laws in 2008 and 2009, and Portland, Ore., Atlanta, and Kansas City, Mo., all of which adopted them in 2015."

Even in States Suing Over New Climate Regulations, Coal Use Is Shrinking
"'It's a magnification of a trend that's been going on for several years. Quite simply, coal is dying,' Nathan Richardson, a professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law who focuses on environmental and energy law, said of the data detailing the drop in coal usage by state. 'It might take 30 years or 40 years, but [coal's time] as a big driver of electricity in this country is over.'"

Survey: Half of Americans Will Donate to Charity This Holiday Season
Razoo, a crowdfunding platform for causes, announced the findings from its holiday charitable giving survey, which shows that despite the poor economy, people are planning to share with others this holiday season and believe that these values should be instilled in children from a very early age, as well. The survey finds one in two adults are likely or very likely to donate to charity this holiday season. Even the unemployed are planning to give back, with nearly half saying they are likely to donate to charity this holiday (47 percent).

PUBLISHED Mon Apr 19 10:02:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 12 Hard-to-See Stunner This leggy creature may look like an octopus, but it's actually an immature, or larval, tube anemone (picture of an adult tube anemone).(Watch video of the tiny sea creatures.)Despite being so young and only about 0.4 inch (1 centimeter) wide, the anemone larva has already begun fishing with the tentacles it will use as an adult. This specimen's dark stomach suggests it's already a successful hunter, experts say.The anemone larva was recently inventoried during the Census of Marine Life, a series of ocean projects aimed at documenting the myriad life-forms that live in Earth's oceans. On Sunday, the census announced results of a far-ranging study of hard-to-see sea species—microscopic animals, plankton, larvae, and burrowers."The ocean represents about 90 percent of the habitat on the planet, in terms of volume, whereas organisms on land only live within about a hundred meters [328 feet]" of sea level, said Ron O'Dor, a senior scientist with the Census of Marine Life."So there is a huge volume out there capable of supporting different kinds of life."—Ker Than Photograph courtesy Cheryl Clarke-Hopcroft/UAF/CMarZ Fresh Fish This bulbous-headed creature is an anglerfish that's just hatched from its egg. The larvae of many deep-sea fish are still virtually unknown to science."In many cases, we only know the adults," said Ron O'dor of the Census of Marine Life. "And the description of the species is based on the adult."Like many marine life-forms, anglerfish spend their youths as plankton—very small or even microscopic creatures that drift with the ocean currents. Scientists think many marine creatures spend parts of their life cycles this way because it allows the animals to take advantage of other plankton as food and to be carried by ocean currents to far-flung regions before they have to grow up and settle down."Even the giant squid hatches as something less than a millimeter [0.04 inch] long," O'dor said. Photograph courtesy Cheryl Clarke-Hopcroft/UAF/CMarz Base of the Pyramid Ten single-celled ocean amoebas known as Chlamydophrys band together.Identifying hard-to-see sea species and understanding the environmental role of each is critical for understanding the Earth's food web, carbon cycle, and other planetary processes, said Ron O'dor of the Census of Marine Life."In ocean food webs, microbes are at the bottom, and everybody eats them," he said. "Typically, crustaceans eat the microbes, and they in turn get eaten by fish, which get eaten by bigger fish, and we catch them."It's a giant pyramid, and at the bottom of it are the microbes." Photograph courtesy D. J. Patterson, L Amaral-Zettler, M. Peglar and T. Nerad Finding Its Sea Legs Compared to the hard-to-see creature in this gallery's first frame, this transparent creature—its legs still stubs—is an even younger form of a tube anemone.Scientists estimate that the microscopic organisms in the oceans' water column collectively weigh the equivalent of 240 billion African elephants.Despite their abundance, these creatures have remained largely unnoticed because of their small size. The new Census of Marine Life study, to be formally released this fall, aims to change all that. Photograph courtesy Cheryl Clarke-Hopcroft/UAF/CMarZ Mighty Microbe Beware the blob. Karenia brevis (such as the cluster pictured) is a toxic plantlike species known as a dinoflagellate. The microbes form "red tide" blooms in Texas and Florida, which can kill fish, turn shellfish toxic, and irritate human skin and respiratory systems.To identify new species that are invisible to the naked eye, scientists rely on DNA-sequencing technologies.After drawing ocean samples from more than 1,200 sites worldwide, Census of Marine Life scientists have amassed a database that includes 18 million DNA sequences of microbial life, spanning more than a hundred major phyla—groupings based on body plan. Photograph courtesy Bob Andersen and D. J. Patterson Pint-Size Pricklepuss Only a few millimeters across, this prickly creature is a larval spider crab. The numerous spines on its body deter predators from eating it, but they also help to create drag in the water to keep the crab from sinking.Only about 20,000 marine microbes have been identified, according to Census of Marine Life scientist John Baross of the University of Washington.But the new Census of Marine Life data suggest the number of sea microbes may be closer to a billion—and 20 million may be only bacteria."This is a huge frontier for the next decade," Baross said in a statement. Photograph courtesy Cheryl Clarke-Hopcroft/UAF/CMarz Rising Stars Looking like extraterrestrials with bizarre body plans, these creatures are the larvae of sea stars, or starfish. They'll become more symmetrical and starlike as they grow older."The series of cruises that these pictures are from are focused on things you can't see normally, or that are tiny and people don't notice them," the Census of Marine Life's O'dor said. "But they're a very important component of the ocean ecosystem." Photograph courtesy Russ Hopcroft/UAF/CMarZ Ancient Algae It looks like a worm, but this filamentous structure studied by the Census of Marine Life is actually several blue-green algae cells stuck together. Joined like this, the microbes are often mobile and can be found gliding through the ocean.Algae are probably the oldest recognizable organisms on Earth: Scientists have found algae fossils that are more than three billion years old. Photograph courtesy D. J. Patterson, L. Amaral-Zettler and V. Edgcomb Twinkle, Twinkle ... Looking more like a supernova than an ocean microbe, this acantharian represents one of four types of large amoebas that occur in open marine waters.Their fragile skeletons are made of single crystals of strontium sulfate that quickly dissolve after the cells die, according to Census of Marine Life scientists. Photograph courtesy Linda Amaral Zettler Buried Treasure This radioactive-looking creature is a new species of loriciferan, burrowing microbes that live in the seafloor. The species was discovered last year at a depth of 2.6 miles (4 kilometers), in a region of ocean just south of Africa's Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast).Loriciferans are among the smallest known multicellular marine animals, and some of them are known to be able to survive without oxygen. This specimen is only about as wide as three human hairs, according to the new Census of Marine Life report. Photograph courtesy Gunnar Gad and Marco Büntzow Tiny Bubbles These pink bubbles are live planktonic foraminifera taken from the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic Ocean.Each set of bubbles is a single-celled creature that has built itself a protective, multichambered house called a test, according to Census of Marine Life experts. Photograph courtesy Colomban de Vargas, EPPO/SBRoscoff Portrait of the Worm as a Young Helmet This bell-shaped larva will grow up to become a marine acorn worm. Like other forms of part-time plankton, this creature will drift around in the ocean currents, feeding and growing, before settling down, according to Census of Marine Life scientists.(See pictures of unearthly worms found off Hawaii.)

The North Carolina company that owns the world's largest pork processing plant will negotiate with a workers union this week for the first time since the plant opened in 1992.
Smithfield Packing Co. and union officials confirmed Friday that talks will begin Wednesday.
The union works on behalf of the plant's 4,500 workers in Tar Heel, a rural town south of Raleigh. It won the support of a majority of voting workers in December.
The two sides spent 16 years in a heated dispute over union efforts, mostly focused on how workers should be allowed to vote.
Smithfield Packing's parent company, Virginia-based Smithfield Foods Inc., said this week it plans to lay off 1,800 workers and close six factories because of a slump in the meat industry.

The writing's on the wall: An interview with Sharpie's Twitter Queen
Jun 2nd
A former newspaper reporter and PR counsel to Kraft, Honeywell, American Airlines and others, Susan Wassel now combines "traditional" with "new" as both PR and social media manager for Sharpie. This week, Susan and her company launched a new community website and social media strategy. Amid this chaos, she had time to talk to me about her social media job and challenges.
How did you become the Twitter Queen of Sharpie?
Like the rest of us, I was reading about the Twitter phenomenon and the opportunity it offered marketers to connect informally with their audiences. It also worked out that Twitter was a platform that seemed most successful when a "personality" was involved. Let's just say Twitter and I were a match made in heaven. I was lucky that lots of passionate Sharpie users were already Tweeting away and welcomed me into the conversation.
Does your company participate in other social media channels? Which seem to work best for your brand and why??
We just officially launched Sharpie's Facebook fan page and You Tube site. Both are part of a larger initiative to celebrate Sharpie's passionate users and the amazing things they create with our product. Our community channels are all housed on this new community site, http://www.sharpieuncapped.com/, along with a Sharpie gallery, a how-to video section, a virtual product test drive app, and of course the Sharpie blog, which I edit and which was our very first foray into social media.?
How do you measure the effectiveness of your Twitter-based promotional dialogue?
To date, we've only looked at number of followers, not because we didn't want to know more but because we didn't have the resources in place to dig deeper. The launch of our new community website includes an analytics initiative led by our agency Draftfcb that will take a closer look at some of our social media properties and Sharpie's share of voice overall in the social media sphere. While we'll get some fairly immediate feedback, we're looking at measurement over the course of 6 months to give us broader measure of Sharpie conversation over time.
Other than raising awareness for your brand, have there been other, unexpected benefits of your Twitter campaign?
Again, nothing quantitative yet but more anecdotal. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Twitterers in general love Sharpie. They often express how surprised and excited they are to see Sharpie on Twitter. Everybody seems to have a Sharpie story they want to share – whether it's a favorite color or a great idea about how to use Sharpies — from the Sharpie dress one sculptor sent me to the giant Sharpie-shaped birthday cake a fan made for a friend. People send me Twitpics of Sharpies on their desks at work, in their backpacks at art school, in the hands of celebrities at rock concerts and Broadway performances. It really is an amazing thing to see so many people so passionate about a little ol' marker!?????
How do you explain to mainstream management what you do and why you do it?
Mainstream management isn't so mainstream any more. I think you'd have to be living in a cave to have missed the social media movement and the power it can wield over brands. While not all execs have it figured out, they know it's big, they know it matters and they couldn't be more supportive of efforts at Sharpie to open a dialogue with our consumers and find out how we can continue to make them happy.
Everyone knows you are blatantly promoting a product … yet you remain so authentic and endearing! What advice do you have for others learning to promote their products through social media channels?
Ah, this is where the magic comes in. This is the part you can't buy at the store. I think that for the most part, the people today who have stepped up to the plate within corporations to commandeer social media are those with their own deep passion for the product. And it is that genuine passion that consumers connect with.?I use Sharpies, my family uses Sharpies, my friends, my relatives — who doesn't use Sharpies? There's just something about their shiny cigar-shaped barrels, the bold, brilliant colors, the bright and smooth way the ink lays down, that I love! Not a day goes by that I don't use them to label one of my kids' lunch bags or make a Christmas ornament with the cousins or create big loopy bubble letters on my daughter's 8th?grade graduation poster. So I have lots to of real-life Sharpie fodder for my Tweets. And then of course I always get off on these talk tangents. There is a group of us addicted to NPR, another caught up in the Jon & Kate crisis. It's not just all Sharpie all the time and I think that's important too.
Ten reasons your website is killing your business
May 22nd
Recession Essentials Part 1: Protect your brand
Apr 27th
This is part one of a three part series providing the essential marketing strategies you MUST drive during this downturn.
Imperative #1: PROTECT YOUR BRAND.
You might be shaking their head thinking, "my business is too small to have a brand." Well of course you have a brand. Your brand is the essence of your company. It's your promise to your customers. Your brand is what makes you special and defines why customers keep coming back to you.
Think about this. What would you think if Coca-Cola announced it was moving operations to China to save money? That would be so counter to the company's all-American image that it would cause a backlash against the company. It breaks their implied promise to America.
Similarly, what would be your reaction if Trump Hotels started a line of hotels to compete with Motel 6? You would be shocked because it is so inconsistent with the brand promise Trump has nurtured. It might meet a short-term customer need for value, but in the long-term the brand would be ruined!
Everything you do and everything you don't do defines your brand. And if you don't carefully protect and market your brand even when times are tough, your brand will be defined by what your competitors say about you.
In the age of social media, there's another new element that can jeopardize your brand — the constant buzz on the Internet. Today, every individual can have a stake in creating the image of your company. A bad experience in a restaurant can fly over the internet immediately over Twitter. Bad service will be reported on any number of sites that review businesses. For the first time in history, public opinion is really PUBLIC – immediately, pervasively and permanently! In this environment, listening to your customers, monitoring the buzz and reacting immediately to protect your brand is more important than ever.
One last comment about the importance of forming an impenetrable shield around your brand — in a recession, people turn to who they trust. Keep them trusting in YOU and your brand promise. Don't do anything to react to short-term conditions that will jeopardize your success in the long-run.

Oklahoma officials dispute analysis saying stimulus has not created jobs
The Associated Press stirred up a controversy Monday when it released an analysis of stimulus spending on roads and bridges that concluded the spending has had no effect on local unemployment rates and has only barely helped the beleaguered construction industry. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood immediately accused the AP of comparing "apples and oranges" in a blog entry titled "AP misses the transportation stimulus jobs forest for the trees." Construction industry economist Ken Simonson added his criticism, issuing a news release in which he accused the AP of using "flawed" fundamental assumptions. "This administration's transportation stimulus spending is putting people to work," LaHood insisted in his blog entry. LaHood said the highway and road construction industry totals about 258,000 jobs out of an overall national work force of 132 million jobs, so it is unrealistic to expect an increase in spending on highway construction to have a major impact on the nation's unemployment rate. Similarly, Simonson said highway construction only accounts for about 5 percent of the domestic construction work force, so a $4 billion net increase in highway construction activity last year can't be expected to lift the overall construction industry, which experienced a $137 billion decline between November 2008 and 2009. Terri Angier, state Transportation Department spokeswoman, said it's difficult to measure jobs sustained and created by stimulus funds, but a report issued for federal government officials placed the number of such stimulus-related highway construction jobs in Oklahoma at 6,785.

It states that the current copy of windows did not pass validation, Is there any way to fix this without paying microsoft 150 dollars please help thanks
It states that the current copy of windows did not pass validation, Is there any way to fix this without paying microsoft 150 dollars please help thanks
Make sure you have installed the Genuine Copy, or did you bought this computer with Windows pre-installed? By the way have you ever passed the validation before on this system? Anyways, Ill will suggest you to go to the following page and run the diagnostic: www. microsoft.com/genuine/diag/. Copy paste the diagnostic report here.
Yes thats correct
The product key found on this computer is a Volume License Key (VLK) that has been blocked
now I have no idea what this means or If there is any way it can be fixed appreciate all your help
I'm having the same problem myself. I've hade this computer for quite some time and suddenly I get a notice that my VLK is blocked.
I in no way can afford a new windows download as the sight keep on annoyingly suggesting to me every few minuits with one of its pop ups.
Talk to those who bought and paid for your volume license key (that's what VLK stands for - if you did not know) to find out what they have done to remedy their situation with Microsoft and their supposedly invalidated key.
If no one bought and paid for your volume license that *you* can contact because you had nothing to do with them in the first place - I am unsure what you are hoping for...?
If someone installed this version of Windows XP onto your computer without your knowledge (that they were doing it illegitimately - but surely you knew if/when your system was formatted/installed fresh) - you should confront them to fix the situation.
If the edition (Home, Professional, etc) is the same as the product key sticker that may still be stuck on your machine someplace - you may yet have a way out of this without a clean install - by changing the illegitmate
product key entered to do the installation to the legitimate product key on said sticker. The edition (Home, Professional, etc) on the sticker must match the version currently installed in order for that to work.
If the version on the sticker does not match (but there is a sticker) then you merely need the installation media (borrowed/copied from a friend, relative, co-worker, etc) of the same edition/type as the sticker represents to do a fresh installation with the media. (If there is a sticker - its type is OEM.)
If there is no sticker, if you have no CD case with a product key on it, etc - then you have no legitimate claim (based on information that you have presented) available to you. Come back if you need more information on one of the methods alluded to.

A photo of the day! This morning, it was 24°f, but it felt nice anyway, when I took my bike out for my pre breakfast exercise ride. It felt so good, I decided to stretch my errand ride this afternoon, and went up the Confluence trail for a bit. I discovered that they finally finished the walkway to the roof of the Great Rivers Research Center, where they have a viewing platform. Thus, I took a pic! This kicks off my new season of wandering and snapping pics!
Edit: I reworked my initial rush job, to have a better color balance in the photo. Sky looks bluish instead of cyanish now, and the stop sign doesn't have a weird glowy effect anymore, thanks to DeLaboratory and The Gimp.

I like riding with a camelback-Mule. 100 oz water and tons of storage. I wrap my camera (Nikon P80) in a golf towel for "some" protection. The palm trees was a catch up point after an stretch on the River Mountain Loop around Lake Mead. The stretch included the "Three Sisters." Bad sisters, tall bad nasty unrelenting sisters.

Navy officer, Md. soldier killed at Iraq clinic
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Two men described as dedicated to helping their patients deal with psychological problems and a soldier from Maryland were among five people shot to death at military counseling clinic in Baghdad, officials and family said Tuesday.
Navy Cmdr. Charles Springle, 52, of Wilmington, N.C., Pfc. Michael Edward Yates Jr., 19, of Federalsburg, Md., and Dr. Matthew Houseal, of Amarillo, Texas, have been identified as three of the victims in Monday's shooting. The names of the two others have not been released.
Yates' mother, Shawna Machlinski, said two Army representatives came to her home on the Eastern Shore and said her son was killed by what they called "friendly fire." Machlinski, who last spoke to her son on Mother's Day, said he had talked about the alleged shooter, 44-year-old Sgt. John M. Russell.
She said he told her Russell was deeply angry at the military after three tours of duty in Iraq.
"He said, 'Man, this guy's got issues,' " said Machlinski. She said her son wasn't more specific about Russell's problems and that he told her he got along with him.
The case, the deadliest of the war involving soldier-on-soldier violence, has cast a spotlight on combat stress and emotional problems resulting from frequent deployments to battle zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Helping soldiers deal with those problems was Springle's life's work, said Bob Goodale, a friend and colleague, and director of behavioral mental health for the Chapel Hill, N.C.-based Citizen-Soldier Support Program. The Pentagon also confirmed Springle had been killed.
"He regarded it as very important work," Goodale said. "We all who work in this know that it is difficult. This is an example of how difficult."
Bud Schertler, executive director of the Texas Panhandle Mental Health and Mental Retardation, said Houseal's wife confirmed the doctor who had worked at the center for 12 years had been killed.
"He was dedicated to his patients. He was a family man, very thorough diagnostician. We couldn't ask for a better psychiatrist," Schertler said.
He said Houseal had volunteered to go back to assist in Iraq and was called up for duty. He did not know Houseal's rank or what branch of the service he was in. He said Houseal had six children.
A clinic spokesman called Houseal "a brilliant man and he helped a lot of people."
"You always hear stories about doctors not taking time with patients – that was his life, helping people," Jim Womack said.
The clinic in Baghdad was operated by the 55th Medical Company, a Reserve unit headquartered in Indianapolis. Capt. Adam Jackson, a spokesman for the unit, said he could release no information on the clinic shooting or the people involved. Two of the victims were officers assigned to the Iraq clinic and the three others were enlisted soldiers, said Maj. Gen. David Perkins.
Machlinski said her son was being treated at the clinic because he was having difficulty readjusting to life in Iraq after visiting Maryland for most of April, when he seemed angry and distant.
"I think he just had a lot on his mind and had a hard time adjusting to civilian life," she said.
Machlinski said that while she was angry at Russell, she is angrier at the military for not doing more to intervene and that she could understand the stress Russell must have been under.
"I do have some sympathy and I do know that I can forgive him," Machlinski said. "I kind of blame the Army for not protecting my son. Someone should have helped this sergeant way before he got this bad."
Yates had a 1-year-old son, who lives with his mother in Seaford, Del., about 10 miles from Federalsburg, Machlinski said.

Mozilla is dipping a toe into social networking with sudoSocial, an early version "stream publishing platform" available through Mozilla Labs.
The sudoSocial effort is a "stream publishing platform," which roughly translates to a way to aggregate your social network feeds in one place. Sort of like FriendFeed or Facebook without the comments. A working demo is up on sudoSocial.me, where you can view some of the demo sites or sign up with your own if you like.
The sudoSocial effort looks a lot like Chris Blizzard's whoisi, which could track feeds about people. The primary difference seems to be that sudoSocial is meant to allow you to set up your own profile, whereas Blizzard's implementation would allow anyone to edit it and add feeds. It looks like whoisi has been shuttered, though I couldn't find a mention on Blizzard's blog about when or why it was closed down.
What's the Idea?
Austin King writes about apps similar to sudoSocial and what it's not trying to be. The focus seems a bit fuzzy at the moment, though. King says that sudoSocial isn't meant to replace Facebook, Google Reader, Google Buzz, and a host of other social applications. Then again, he says it "kinda" is.
So what do we have so far? If you try out the sudoSocial.me site with your OpenID account, you can set up your own page and start adding feeds. It takes a few minutes for material to start showing up from your blogs or whatever. sudoSocial.me will display blog posts, pictures, whatever content you can offer as an RSS or Atom feed.
But wait! There's more! The platform also allows users the ability to add your own CSS design, and a JavaScript "override" that will control the behavior of content posted on your page. You can also use Processing.js to create images, interactive interfaces, or animations without having to rely on Flash or Java applets. Just post the code into the design editor and go. (Assuming you are familiar with Processing.js, of course.)
Aside from that, sudoSocial is pretty sparse for the time being. I set up an account with my Google OpenID and added my blog and Twitter feed. All you need to do is add the URL to a blog or another site with a RSS/Atom feed, sudoSocial will automatically discover most feeds.
Dig In
Want to get your hands dirty? The sudoSocial code is available on Github. Don't want to set up your own server? A pre-configured VirtualBox appliance is also available. According to the Hacking section on Github, sudoSocial is a Django app with some additions from other Mozilla projects. The source is "tri-licensed" under the Mozilla Public License (MPL), GNU General Public License (GPL) 2.0 or later, and GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) 2.1 or later.
With any luck, the project will attract some talented themers soon. The sample pages put up so far look a bit rough.
It's good to see Mozilla getting involved in the social network space. Mozilla's mission and enormous reach online makes it an ideal hub for developing a replacement for Facebook and other closed social networks. The initial release of sudoSocial is not particularly compelling, but it's worth watching to see where it goes. More importantly, now would be a good time for interested contributors to get involved. sudoSocial was pushed out early through the Mozilla Labs Concept Series so interested users could hack on it and offer feedback. Here's hoping it evolves into a "Facebook killer" even if it isn't exactly what King is setting out to do.
Based on the name, I\'d guess it\'s something social for sysadmins. I don\'t think that\'s the intent, but I still can\'t quite figure out what it is. Needs a single focus to stick to. Somewhere I saw \"FriendFeed killer\". Fine, I can make sense of that, and might even use it. But if it\'s supposed yet another all-in-one \"social tool\" that will supplant Facebook too, and yet we don\'t know it\'s specialization or even what it\'s good at, I\'m not too interested in checking it out. I did sign in and my dashboard (if that\'s what it is) has no styling. This doesn\'t look ready for public use.
I think this is a really brilliant tactic from Mozilla's side since there has been pretty much chaos occurred in Facebook due to the recent pst repair and privacy issues. I am certain that the sudoSocial is going to be a bull's-eye since it uses a stream publishing platform. Collecting all the social network feeds in one area sounds really innovative and since it has a real close connection with that of the comments we see in Facebook, people would readily accept it!
That's great news update! I hope that sudoSocial will be famous social platform someday like facebok, twitter and linkedin. It's great opportunity for their company bcoz Mozilla Firefox is worlds' top browser. Thanks! @ Felix Investments

Relax ... Life Is Good
Here's another card that I made last week for Verve's latest release - seriously LOVING these new sets! This one uses a super cool, fun, hip set called Relax. I can almost hear the happy sound of waves tumbling toward my favorite sandy beach! The palm tree leaves are paper pieced and the trunks are colored with Copics. Patterned papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety 6x6 pad. My 6yo DD and I debated at length whether the white rope twine along the bottom was too much. I won't tell you who gave in to whom :)
Relax is available on its own, or as part of the Beach Party Collection. Buy the bundle and save! And for lots of gorgeous eye candy, check out Verve's Relax gallery.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Thanks for visiting!
Stamps: Relax (Verve)
Paper: Papertrey Kraft card stock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card stock, Stampin' Up Barely Banana card stock; Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety 6x6 designer papers

Accessories: Spellbinders circle Nestabilities, paper piercer, May Arts burlap string, Papertrey button, Stampin' Up rope twine, sewing machine, foam adhesive

Thomas Sowell is a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and it is gratifying that The Columbian has chosen to print his column. In March 14 letters, Joan Lewis ("Sowell's rhetoric is malicious") and Alice Cox ("Heed Sowell's warning of danger") submitted opposing comments on Sowell's column of March 6 that indicated the 2012 election will determine the fate of the American way of life.
Was his column fact or fiction, "rubbish" or "clairvoyant"? The people of the United States are so complacent that most have not surmised that our freedoms and prosperity are in peril. I would suggest that all voters have a responsibility to separate fact from fiction before they cast a vote in November.
Read Mark Levin's book "Liberty and Tyranny" to discover the true corruption of our federal Constitution because the United States is no longer a federal government. There is no separation of power between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and states' rights have vanished in the dust with the formation of a national government catering to an entitlement society.
