Bulldog Reporter's "Mommy Blogger" Accused of Violating Blogger's PrivacyCecily Kellogg
Once again, the Bulldog Reporter self-proclaimed "leader in media intelligence" has produced a list of 300 or so "mommy bloggers" for businesses to purchase for $199.
I wrote about the list last year when the biggest sins of the list were primarily the incredibly poor organization and wildly mislabeled bloggers. But this year, they've gone even further: they've included the home addresses and home/cell phone numbers of the bloggers without their permission, of course.
The bloggers on the list are pretty upset. Kristen Howerton of Rage Against the Minivan states, "I was shocked to find they were giving out my home phone and address. It feels like a major violation of privacy, but more than that it's alarming to consider how they are obtaining this info, since I never give it out." Christine Young feels much the same. "Being on a list of influencers is one thing," she says, "but I'm quite upset that my personal information was being sold without my knowledge or permission."
An anonymous tipster sent me a copy of the list, and it's almost laughably inaccurate, particularly when it comes to the ridiculous rankings where some of the most influential bloggers around are put in the "low influence" category, and the list includes many bloggers that have shuttered their blogs, and most egregiously includes the beloved blogger Susan Niebur, whom we all lost to breast cancer nearly a year ago.
Some bloggers were so aggravated at their private information being included on the list they took to Twitter.
.@bulldogreporter, I see you are selling the cell phone #'s and home addresses of bloggers. Who do I talk to about this privacy breach?
— Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) January 28, 2013
This apparently worked, because Bulldog Reporter sent this email to bloggers today:
I want you to know that because of requests by several bloggers on Bulldog Reporter's Mommy Bloggers Contact Guide, we have decided to eliminate the address field from the list as of today, so no addresses will be distributed as part of this list. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. As you may know, Bulldog Reporter has been researching and distributing journalist contact information, as well as interviews with tens of thousands of journalists, to corporate communicators for more than 30 years. Bulldog Reporter's Media Pro online directory contains contact information and intelligence on some 40,000 media organizations and 160,000 journalists. The company prides itself on providing a constructive bridge between journalists and communications professionals, facilitating co-operation and mutually beneficial information exchange. If you have suggestions for ways we can further improve our list of Mommy Bloggers, we would certainly welcome them.
Best regards,
James Sinkinson Publisher, Bulldog Reporter
I'm sure that Jim is surprised that bloggers would find this offensive; as he says above he routinely collects information about media outlets. When asked about the list he stated, "We are providing a paid service to our clients, and we don't remove information from our lists. We of course respect those requests, but we don't abide by them. We've never removed addresses from a list before." But unlike most media outlets, bloggers typically do not have separate business addresses or phone numbers making the information Bulldog Reporter was distributing personal, NOT professional contact info. Big difference. When I asked Jim about the inclusion of people like Susan in the list even though they've stopped blogging or have passed away, he said "We attempt to update the blogger lists every six months, and remove bloggers when the blog is gone. We try to make our information accurate, but we're not always successful."
Bulldog Reporter is also using blogger's photos in the timeline photo on their Facebook page. My friend Katherine Stone who is not included as an influencer on the list itself, ironically found her photo being used in the collage without her permission (as well as Babble's own Catherine Connors, among others).
I think Liz of Mom 101 sums up the debacle perfectly with this tweet:
If you are buying @bulldogreporter's "mommyblogger" list it is woefully inaccurate and a violation of a lot of privacy. Disappointing. #PR

In Reply.—Dr Miller has stated that our review analyzed "incomplete data containing many elementary errors of clinical discrimination, definition, and presentation." Several comments are warranted in response to this criticism.
Regarding the first article, by Ericson et al,1 there was a statistically significant reduction in postoperative infection in those patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics. Furthermore, when one looks specifically at the 118 Charnley total hip replacement cases, the effect of prophylaxis is evident. It is not surprising that there was no significant antibiotic effect in cases involving internal fixation or prostheses, considering the numbers of patients enrolled in these subcategories. Only 39 patients with pertrochanteric fractures and 14 patients with Moore prostheses participated in the study, numbers far too few to yield meaningful data.
Miller criticized the second article2 and fifth article,3 respectively, because the investigators did not include infected hematomas in their postoperative wound-infection categories. Contrary

South Pelican Drive, Basseterre, St KittsShow on map
Expert Rating
Bird Rock Beach Hotel is an acceptable seaside base that won't break the bank
All the rooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans and a balcony or patio
Some two- and three-bedroom suites are available with kitchen facilities that can accommodate families
At night, Diana's, the main restaurant and bar, has a view towards the bright lights of Basseterre.
The rooms are set in two-storey, yellow and green buildings that face the sea
Nigel Tisdall has been writing travel stories for the Telegraph for over 25 years. His globetrotting career began with a train ride from London to Hong Kong; since then we've sent him everywhere from Antarctica to Zanzibar.
Why go?
If you want an acceptable base that won't break the bank, Bird Rock Beach Hotel could be the answer. The hotel has its own dive centre (divestkitts.com)) and is often used by groups on diving packages. It is also popular with visitors from other islands who are over for events such as cricket matches and the St Kitts Music Festival. A new dolphin park, opened in December 2014, has been constructed beside a breakwater with a small man-made beach.
On the cliffs to the east of Basseterre, just five minutes drive from the airport. The hotel opened in 1989 and is set in a residential area but you'll need to hire a car or use taxis to get around.
As the name says, this is a beach hotel – but it is only a very small stretch of yellow sand laid down beside the quayside. There's also a swimming pool with a swim-up bar. Facilities are minimal.
Casual, friendly − but expect to carry your own luggage. Bills include a 10 per cent service charge.
The 65 rooms are set in two-storey, yellow and green buildings that face the sea. All have air conditioning, ceiling fans and a balcony or patio. Some two- and three-bedroom suites are available with kitchen facilities that can accommodate families. The décor is tired in places, with tiled floors, cane furniture and boldly-patterned fabrics. Some rooms are let to students on a long-term basis.
Food & drink
Diana's, the main restaurant and bar, is in a building adjacent to the pool and at night has a view towards the bright lights of Basseterre. The menu offers unpretentious Caribbean fare – red pea soup, ribs, local fish with rice and peas, coconut pie − a main course costs around US$26/EC$70. An à la carte breakfast is served in a large poolside room, the Sunburst Restaurant − continental costs US$12/EC$32, full US$17/EC$46. Meals will be available in a new waterfront bar and restaurant currently under construction.
Value for money
Double rooms from £65, room only. Yes, if you are here to dive or have other business on St Kitts. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Some rooms can accommodate families but there are no special facilities.

Syracuse, N.Y. — The Washington Nationals have an abundance of young talent, an overflow that helps both that team and Triple-A affiliate Syracuse.
But with the non-waiver trade deadline approaching Thursday, will that surplus cost the Chiefs one of their best prospects?
Outfielder Steven Souza Jr., who paces the International League in batting average (.353), on-base percentage (.431) and slugging percentage (.596) certainly looks ready for a full-time big-league spot but is trapped behind the Nationals depth. And Syracuse outfielder Brian Goodwin is the type of prospect who might be part of a package to land an established major leaguer.
Here's a sampling of some of the speculation:
The Nationals are, as ever, somewhat hard to read. They "seem to be very busy on multiple fronts," as one executive from a selling team put it. Or, "it's seems pretty quiet right now," as another person familiar with their thinking said. The Nationals don't need to make a trade given the lack of holes on their big league roster, and General Manager Mike Rizzo has said he won't place the urgency of this season ahead of the organization's long-term outlook. But the Nationals are still working in preparation for a possible deal. They have been scouring for a reliever to deepen their bullpen, the most likely move they'll make if they do make one. They've been looking for young shortstops, and their work on that now could be more laying groundwork for the winter. They could consider available infielders who could also fit on future rosters with Ryan Zimmerman currently out for an indefinite period of at least three or four weeks. — Adam Kilgore, The Washington Post
The Washington Nationals' scouts/talent evaluators were in attendance this past weekend in St. Petersburg, FL's Tropicana Field for the Red Sox and Rays' Friday night matchup which featured much-discussed left-handers David Price and Jon Lester facing off on the mound. Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post wrote this afternoon in a rumor round-up that the Nationals' scout who was in attendance, "... was just on his usual coverage," but noted that, "... the Nationals also had one of their top evaluators in Boston the previous weekend when the Red Sox were playing the Royals." — Patrick Reddington, Federalbaseball.com
One has to wonder if the Nationals are going to make a move before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline. At first, it seemed they didn't have to make a major move, until Ryan Zimmerman injured his right hamstring against the Rockies last week. Although nothing has been announced, Zimmerman is expected to be out a long period of time. That's prompted the Nats to inquire about Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, but Washington was rebuffed, according to two sources. With Zimmerman out for a while, Anthony Rendon will play third base, but Washington could try to trade for a second baseman. For now, Danny Espinosa will get most of the time at second, but he hasn't given the Nationals much offense, and Kevin Frandsen and Zach Walters are just backups. — Bill Ladson, MLB.com
If Washington looks to make an addition, it would look to a market with relatively few everyday regulars seemingly available. Among potentially available third basemen, Adrian Beltre of the Rangers is the clear prize -- if he's put up for sale. The Nats were reportedly "rebuffed" in an earlier inquiry, but Texas is said to have had eyes on Triple-A Syracuse last weekend. The second base market does not contain many names that appear to be likely fits, though Aaron Hill of the Diamondbacks could be a possibility. His Arizona teammate, Martin Prado, has spent time at both positions and has been mentioned as a possible fit. —MLBtraderumors.com

The Bad Kids and the Birth of an Obsession
Ok, so in my last post I mentioned my comic book store. I'd really like to take the time and write a blog about it. I want you guys to know about the place that started my comic book obsession. Comicazi was founded by Mike, Dave and Bob. They opened up shop in 2000 in Davis Square, Somerville MA. Since then they have opened up a second store in Arlington, MA and moved their Davis Square store. I have a subscription box at Comicazi, and while most comic shops do this, I have not been to one who makes me feel more welcome than them. So, here are my top 10 reasons why Comicazi rocks. And I hope your local shop is as great as them 1. They encourage loitering. I've gone in, hung out for a few hours and not bought anything. No one gives me dirty looks orRead more →

The college football look ahead — a project covering every bowl subdivision team — touches on Big Ten West powers Nebraska and Wisconsin, as well as perennial SEC contender Georgia
Do we really need to go too far in depth on the Cornhuskers? Nope.
Nebraska has won nine or 10 games in each of Bo Pelini's six seasons. It has lost exactly four games in all of them. It finished between 20th and 25th in the final AP poll in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and was No. 26 in last year's final balloting.
It gets its three toughest conference games on the road (Iowa, Michigan State and Wisconsin), but also has an excellent chance to be 5-0 before any of those games arrive. It has a stellar running back in Ameer Abdullah, around which it can build its usual stout ground game.
In a favorable light, Nebraska is steady. In less flattering terms, it has plateaued. At many places, a plateau of winning 57 games in six seasons is plenty good.
Nebraska expects more, if only because it ruled the Big Eight (along with Oklahoma) for generations under two legendary coaches. Things change over time, and while it would be nice to think Pelini could muster an 11-2 season from time to time, it's best to bank on 10-4 or 9-4 for this fall.
Nebraska in haiku:
Danger zone up front
So much lost from the o-line
Could be problem spot
You have to give it to Todd Graham. He might be a football mercenary with family seemingly in every corner of the lower 48 states, but he's a football mercenary who can run an exceptionally potent offense.
Arizona State dropped half-a-hundred on six occasions last year on its way to a 10-2 regular season. It was hammered in the Pac-12 title game by Stanford and was probably a bit disinterested in its bowl loss to Texas Tech. It happens; that's why making too big a deal of bowl records is a dangerous thing.
There are three questions for this year's edition of the Sun Devils. One, can it keep scoring even while losing five starters on offense (probably). Two, can it maintain a turnover margin of roughly plus one a game (probably not).
Then there's the defense, which was stingy against the run. Nine starters are gone, and most of them were pretty good. Who knows if Arizona State will be able to stop anybody.
Fortunately for the Sun Devils, they get some time to figure out that question. Arizona State faces Weber State, New Mexico and Colorado before the schedule turns far less pleasant, but even then it gets UCLA, Stanford and Notre Dame (three of its top four opponents) at home. By that point, Taylor Kelly and the offense should be re-established enough that the Sun Devils find themselves in nearly every game.
Arizona State in haiku:
Everything's ducky
No Oregon to deal with
Makes life easier
There's nothing Bill Snyder can do that will be as impressive as his resurrection of Kansas State's program the first time around. But his second stint, with its 36 victories over the last four seasons, looks mighty fine as well.
Nine wins a year is not a given, at least it shouldn't be for the Wildcats. Beyond the ample junior college scene, there isn't much nearby talent. And there's the whole resource advantage for Oklahoma and Texas.
But Snyder (and, by extension, Kansas State) keeps plugging along, keeps finding solid prospects and keenly developing them, keeps figuring out how to remain relevant.
It will happen again this year, especially after the Wildcats started to figure things out at the end of last season. K-State won six of its last seven, and it gets a choice nonconference game (a rarity under Snyder) against Auburn on Sept. 18 to make a statement.
Of course, Kansas State has never been big on making statements. It just goes out and wins, over and over and over again. With Jake Waters at quarterback and Tyler Lockett a safe choice for another 1,000-yard season, the Wildcats should flirt with a 10-win season before all is said and done.
Kansas State in haiku:
Sorcerer Snyder
Never to be discounted
Wildcats will contend
OK, so playing Louisiana State in Dallas to open the season could prove ugly for Gary Andersen's Badgers. But before anyone goes tweeting about #karma, it's worth mentioning that Wisconsin was one of the big winners of Big Ten realignment.
Out go annual games against Ohio State and Penn State, and while facing Nebraska every year isn't a picnic, the Badgers have a friendlier road on average. This year, they get B1G newbies Maryland and Rutgers as their crossover games, which is better than having anything to do with Michigan State or Ohio State.
Andersen's offenses at Utah State and then Wisconsin took huge leaps, and there are enough pieces in place for the typically ginormous Badgers to create a powerful rushing game. As long as quarterback Joel Stave takes care of the ball, Wisconsin's offense should be fine.
That will more than offset the losses the Badgers' defense absorbed. No, Wisconsin won't be as miserly on that side of the ball. But this is a program that hasn't given up more than 330 yards per game in any of the last six seasons. The Badgers aren't a great candidate to become bad overnight.
Instead, they might actually be better despite their losses. Probably not as good as the Russell Wilson year in 2011, but good enough to be favored to win at least 10 games and advance to the Big Ten title game for the third time in four years.

Besides the habit of its defensive players to find their way into the police blotter this offseason, there's nothing overtly bad about Georgia. It's just that there's a bunch of different elements that make it hard to go all-in on the Bulldogs.
They get three conference home games. They lost career passing leader Aaron Murray (with fifth-year senior Hutson Mason getting his turn this year). They have a new defense, though the switch from Todd Grantham to Jeremy Pruitt is probably a plus, especially after Pruitt's work running the Florida State defense last year.
Still, is that side of the ball going to be fully settled in the opening weeks of the season as it goes against Clemson and South Carolina? Yes, Clemson lost a bunch off its own offense, but that's still a game that has all the makings of a 38-35 contest — much like last year's was.
This should be the second-best team in the SEC East, and one of the top five teams in the SEC. As usual, both of those things count for something. It's also a team that should have things figured out much better come November than it does out of the chute.
It might, in fact, be 2011 all over again. A year after a sluggish season, the Bulldogs could very well drop their first two games and then zip through the rest of the regular season. But if Georgia does make it through mid-September unscathed, it will be looking at a top-10 season and a place in the SEC title game.

West Ham have confirmed the signing of Germany Under-20 forward Savio Nsereko from Brescia. The 19-year-old, who was born in Uganda, has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee, though it is rumoured it will eventually reach £9m.
This record purchase comes just two days after West Ham allowed Hayden Mullins - at the time West Ham's longest serving player - to leave the club to join Portsmouth, Pompey having offered a reported £2m for the 30 year old.
The score doesn't tell the whole story here as a rampant Hammers tore Hull open so easily it could have run into double figures under the Upton Park floodlights.
As it was a first half-goal from Di Michele - who played superbly and deserved more - and a second half strike from Carlton Cole, were enough to cement West Ham's position in the top half of the table and give Hull a football lesson in the bargain.
There's no denying this was a comfortable win for West Ham against opponents who never managed to put the Hammers under any type of serious pressure.
Following the North-east side's win against Premier opponents Stoke in the last round it was obvious that ITV would show this as one of their weekend matches hoping, no doubt, for the type of upset long associated with West Ham or, at the very least, an 'up and 'at em'' performance from the home side.
Look let's be honest shall we?
Craig Bellamy is a loathsome specimen of both a man and a footballer. You know it, I know it. His only reedeming feature is that he is extremely fast and....errrr....well, that's about it really.
Apropos of nothing in particular about football - but when did that matter on this column? - the Blagger is proud to announce that his alter ego this week became the 1000th link on the 'Chain' on the ever-inspiring Radcliffe & Maconie show on Radio 2.
Make no mistake this was an impressive win over a Fulham side that have been bang in form recently and who have had - prior to today at least - a good defensive record.
The Hammers went ahead early in the 7th minute when Di Michele - who was replacing the missing Bellamy - pounced on a poor attempted clearance from ex-Hammer John Pantsil; the defender having tried to turn a chested down ball back to his keeper.
Honours even at St James' Park and round at our house as Cockneys and Geordies - or at least two teams representing them - fought out an exciting draw.
Probably both sets of fans will point to individual instances in which a victory could have been snatched - both sides probably had valid penalty claims turned down, for example - but a draw was probably a fair result as want-away keeper Shay Given made a stunning save from Jack Collison while Newcastle had their chances too particularly in the closing stages.
Despite going behind to the inevitable Michael Owen goal - he really does love to score against the Hammers - West Ham struck back through Craig Bellamy before the break and went ahead when Carlton Cole sprung a poor offside trap to power the claret and blue ahead.
However, youngster Tony Carroll headed an equaliser after 78 minutes to ensure a share of the spoils although a superb late tackle by Matthew Upson denied Gutierrez with the last shot of the game.
This result keeps West Ham firmly in 10th place with Newcastle tucked in just behind them; strange then that the media - not happy unless West Ham are being slated in some way - described this as a relegation battle. On this showing, and providing the Bellamy and Parker rumours are shown to be just that, it's probably the Hammers who can look forward to a better second half of the season.
Out with the old and in with the new? Do me a favour! January has brought more of the same as the FA and the Premier League have announced a new investigation into West Ham's dealings with Carlos Tevez' Representatives following the fine that was handed out for the original punishment metered out for the breach of league rules that allowed the Argentinian to play for the Hammers in 2006.
This latest move follows claims from the solicitor for Tevez's agent, Kia Joorabchian, that West Ham's Chief Excecutive Scott Duxbury had stated in a conversation that the third-party agreement for which West Ham were originally punished was still in place when Tevez completed his season with the Hammers, famously scoring the only goal in the 1-0 win at Old Trafford that kept the Hammers up.
As this conversation only came to light during the court case that Sheffield United opened up as a result of their relegation, West Ham may actually welcome the investigation if it is shown that the third party agreement was actually torn up after the Premier League fine.
However, many fans will fear the investigations, particularly as the involvement of Scott Duxbury - a man many feel should have paid for Tevezgate with his job, if not his head - is once more under scrutiny. Ultimately though, unless the League and FA have information that isn't in the public domain currently, it is hard to see how they can react to verbal conversations that were never recorded.
It will be interesting to see what would happen if the FA and League decide West Ham do not have a case to answer, bearing in mind the club face payment of some compensation fine later this year. Any finding that West Ham are innocent will surely open up counter-claims by the Hammers against Sheffield United.
If the investigation brings further dodgy dealings to light though, it is possible that a points deduction - something many feel the club should have had in the first place - may be the inevitable result.
My feelings on this fiasco are well documented but anything that brings this soap opera to an end cannot come soon enough as far as I am concerned.
Another in what is an irregular feature, as Blagg discovers a batch of old floppy discs containing all the old Blagg columns dating back nearly ten years and posted on what was then known as the 'Ironworks' (now WestHamOnline.net).
Watch in wonder as our Anti-hero manages to stumble through the late nineties and early noughties occasionally showing glimpses of a Mystic Meg persona, while equally revealing a powerful need to be a complete idiot sometimes.
This time out, laugh loudly or smile ruefully as I take a look at a column I wrote when Glenn Roeder was given the job. I really did give him the benefit of the doubt, didn't I? (This article also later became part of the book 'Nightmare on Green Street')
News that Matthew Etherington has signed for Stoke for £2m and that Lee Bowyer and Calum Davenport are likely signings for Birmingham and Bolton respectively are encouraging signs that Gianfranco Zola's promises may be coming to fruition.
The scandal rags still insist that Scott Parker is being offered parts of Persia and a harem of long limbed lovelies to quit and join Manchester City but West Ham - at the moment - seem to be holding good on their promise that no-one barring resource draining fringe players will be sold.
I can think of a couple of other players whose sole responsibility seems to be keeping the bench warm with their expensive bums who I wouldn't mind seeing the back of for a few mill but, a week into the transfer window, things are encouraging.
It won't last though, will it?
Well, it's time to take the decorations down so the Blagg Advent Calendar of Christmas Songs has gone into a box and put back into the loft for another year.
Many thanks to those of you who took the time to email me with your suggestions and rude remarks, and those of you who think the whole project smacks of insanity will be only too pleased to learn that I have enough links available to ensure that next (this?) year's list will probably start being researched sometime in July.
Enjoy 2009!
You know the score with these games. Win and it is just what everyone expects anyway, lose and you're a mug.
Against a side that made the semi-finals last season, West Ham might have expected to struggle given their problems with meeting lower league sides over the years. But, in truth, the Hammers strolled to victory here and the result was virtually assured by half time after Ilunga scored his first goal for the Hammers after 10 minutes and Mark Noble slotted home from the penalty spot after 39.

TRENTON - Gov. Chris Christie today tapped Sen. Bill Baroni for the top state job at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, saying the Mercer County Republican would be a "zealous advocate'' for the tens of millions of residents who use the regions airports, ports, roads and bridges.
With Baroni, 38 , of Hamilton, becoming the Deputy Executive Director for the bi-state agency, Christie takes the popular and respected legislator out of the crosshairs in a volatile district dominated by state workers, and shared by two Democrats in the Assembly.
Anyone in that seat would be made to answer for Christie's promise to whittle down generous pension and benefits packages for state employees.
"We need leadership up there,'' Christie said of the port authority, which has a $6 billion budget. "I need someone I can count on to make sure we deal with all the complex transportation issues and the significant opportunities for funding projects in the the state of New Jersey.''
The governor, during a Statehouse press conference, said he wanted Baroni to be an integral part of the ongoing negotiations involving the World Trade Center site and memorial. Baroni said he looks forward to the challenge.
"The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is one of those agencies across the planet that truly affects the lives of nearly every New Jerseyan. One-hundred million people go from New Jersey and New York every year through the bridges and tunnels the Port Authority runs.'' Baroni said. "This is an agency that truly has the power to create jobs and drive an economic success story in New Jersey. I will be starting in the next couple of weeks and I will be dedicating myself day in and day out to be a zealous advocate for New Jersey.''
Christie said Republican party leaders are meeting to discuss a Senate replacement, who will need approval from party members in Middlesex and Mercer counties. A special election would be held in November for a candidate to finish out the last year of Baroni's term.
Sen. Kevin O'Toole, (R-Passaic) called Baroni the "intellectual powerhouse'' of the Republican caucus.
"He has an extraordinary ability to gather facts and map out a strategy,'' he said.
O'Toole, said he's sorry to see his friend and colleague leave, but he will excel in the position.
"He understands the political dynamics of New Jersey and New York,'' he said. "Some people are just politicians. Some people are wonks. He is the best of all of those.''
Baroni, a graduate of the University of Virginia Law School, teaches at Seton Hall Law School. He served two two-year terms in the Assembly before he was elected to the Senate in 2007 in the 14th district, representing portions of Mercer and Middlesex.counties.

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- On April 18, 2007, three Christians were bound to their chairs, tortured, and stabbed repeatedly at a Bible print shop in Malatya -- their throats slit.
Five years have now passed since the Malatya murders, an incident that was perhaps the most tragic and brutal murder of Christians in modern-day Turkey.
Today, believers are facing increased persecution and the country is gradually moving away from secularism.
"You see everyday is April 18. Everyday I have to live without him," widow Susanne Geske told CBN News on the one year anniversary of her husband's murder.
Five suspects went on trial for killing the men, but there is still no conviction.
Country of Concern
Church attendance dropped immediately after the Malatya incident. And although attendance is now growing again, so are the number of attacks against Christians.
The Protestant churches of Turkey documented 12 attacks in 2011. This included the beating of Christians for sharing their faith with Muslims.
No one has been prosecuted for any of these crimes, putting Turkey on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom's list of "countries of particular concern" (CPC) for the first time.
Nina Shea, one of the commissioners supporting that move, said the Turkish government is suppressing Christian worship, and as a result Christian numbers are dwindling.
"They comprise 0.15 percent of the entire population of Turkey," Shea said. "They are very frail, and we're going to see them vanish in our lifetime if Turkey doesn't lift its dense web of regulations and give them religious freedom."
Turkey's ambassador in Washington called the CPC designation "politically motivated."
Middle East analyst Walid Phares is not surprised by the persecution of Christians in Turkey. He said Prime Minister Erdogan has been shifting away from a pro-NATO, pro-Western position to a "pro-Islamists, more anti-Israel and slightly anti-Western attitude."
"For example, the alliance with Hamas," Phares explained.
That alliance cooled relations with Israel, leading to a shootout over a flotilla of terrorists bound for Gaza.
Turkey also supported anti-Gadhafi rebels in Libya and, more recently, opposition fighters in Syria. The nation is positioning itself as a dominant Middle Eastern power.
Economic Concerns
But as Turkey takes on the role of leader, helping to shape the future of North Africa and the Middle East, like most Americans, Turks are concerned about the economy. About 25 percent of Turks between the ages of 18 and 24 are unemployed.
Turkey resident Mohammed Ali is one of them.
"All the attention on Israel and Syria is affecting the Turkish economy. That's one reason there are not as many jobs as before," he told CBN News.
Suleiman, another young unemployed Turk, said domestic issues must be the top priority of the Turkish government.
"Turkey must first solve its internal problems, then it can focus on Israel and Syria," Suleiman added.
Reliving History?
While most Turks enjoy a more open, secular society, the shift toward Islamic fundamentalism may not come as a surprise. The nation has a long history of embracing Western culture and then eventually rejecting it.
For example: Istanbul's Hagia Sophia. For a thousand years the building stood as the largest cathedral in the world.
But, after Ottoman Muslims conquered the city in 1453, they converted the basilica into a mosque, plastering over 12th century Byzantine mosaics, including one of Jesus.
The Ottoman Turks established a caliphate to rule over the Islamic world. In the 1920s, Mustafa Ataturk established a secular state.
Nearly 100 years later, it appears Turkey again is distancing itself from the West. Prime Minister Erdogan is taking steps to re-establish the Turkish caliphate.
"There will be a renewed caliphate, but there will be a struggle over who is going to control that caliphate and again, we go back to centuries in time," Phares claimed.
"Will it be the Arab caliphate or will it be the Ottoman caliphate? So, we'll go back to square one," he explained.
In the meantime, Turkish Christians pray for greater religious freedom and tolerance as young Turks like Mohammed and Suleiman continue their search for a brighter future.
"We need jobs and peace," Ali said. "We need a solution to our problems."

Travelling by ferry with your pet
The PETS Travel Scheme and Brittany Ferries
All Brittany Ferries routes are approved by DEFRA for participation in the PETS scheme. This applies only to cats, dogs and ferrets travelling between qualifying countries in the EU.
When planning your return journey on any of our routes, please give careful consideration to the timing of the tapeworm treatment for dogs. Distressing difficulties can arise if things go wrong and return travel is jeopardised.
Before travel
Before commencing travel it is the owner's responsibility to supply the following:
A valid DEFRA approved pet passport or third country certificate showing that their pet has been micro-chipped and vaccinated against rabies. N.B. Your pet may not leave or re-enter the UK until 21 days after vaccination against rabies. The animal must also be a minimum of 12 weeks old before being vaccinated.
Dogs - Tapeworm treatment must be administered by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in the UK. The passport must be signed, dated, stamped and include the date and time of treatment as well as the manufacturer and the name of the product used. If the pet passport does not comply with this, we regret that we will not be able to carry the animal under the Pet Travel Scheme.
Cats & Ferrets - A pet passport or third country certificate is required. Tick and tapeworm treatment is no longer needed.
For further information, call DEFRA Helpline on 0870 241 1710 or consult your vet.
Arrival at the port
The animal's owner/escort will be solely responsible for the behaviour and welfare of their pet(s) at the port and on board, and for compliance with the PETS travel Scheme's provisions.
They are also responsible for ensuring that the animal is sufficiently fit and healthy to withstand the intended journey. You are recommended to seek the advice of your own vet about health and travel concerns. At all times it is the owner/escort's responsibility to comply with the DEFRA regulations governing pets travel. Brittany Ferries cannot be held responsible if the animal is refused travel due to incorrect documentation.
You should ensure that your pet is exercised and toileted before you board.
Checking in
The check-in time when travelling with your pet is 60 minutes before scheduled departure time (shown on your travel ticket) when leaving the UK and 90 minutes when returning from France or Spain.
When you check in we will place a 'pet sticker' on your car windscreen, this must stay in place until you have left the port of arrival. It is an offence to remove this sticker before leaving the port of destination. Failure to comply with this regulation could result in the animal being placed in short term quarantine.Your pet and its passport documents will be checked on arrival in the UK and before embarkation in France & Spain.
During the crossing
We have kennels on our sailings to St Malo, and selected sailings to Bilbao and Santander. Pet-friendly cabins are also available on selected services to Bilbao, Santander and Le Havre, where your dog or cat can stay with you during the crossing.
On ships where there are no kennels your pet will remain in your vehicle. (Except on Etretat and Baie de Seine where they must occupy a pet friendly cabin. Please note the layout of the Baie de Seine's garage means we're unable to accept bookings for pets in vehicles over 1.83m high or towing a trailer and/or caravan.)
The animal's owner/escort will be solely responsible for the behaviour and welfare of their pet(s) at the port and on board, and for compliance with the PETS travel Scheme's provisions.
They are also responsible for ensuring that the animal is sufficiently fit and healthy to withstand the intended journey. You are recommended to seek the advice of your own vet about health and travel concerns. At all times it is the owner/escort's responsibility to comply with the DEFRA regulations governing pets travel. Brittany Ferries cannot be held responsible if the animal is refused travel due to incorrect documentation.
Animals will only be permitted to travel in the owner/escort's vehicle (N.B. See below for exceptions). There should be sufficient space for the animal to move freely, and you should make the animal as comfortable as possible, using absorbent bedding, equipment and toys which the animal is familiar with. The garages may be warm when parking but once the ship is at sea, the temperatures are carefully regulated and the garages inspected at regular intervals.
Before leaving your vehicle you must ensure that the animal(s) will have enough ventilation. This will normally mean that one or more windows will need to be left partly open, but it is important also to ensure that the animal(s) cannot escape. Please make sure that all doors are locked. You should also take with you any valuables that you may be carrying, as the Company cannot accept responsibility in the event of loss, theft or damage caused by pets or otherwise.
When the Pont-Aven and Bretagne are operating on the Portsmouth/Plymouth to Santander route, dogs must occupy the kennel provided. Whilst any other domestic pet must remain in the owners/escorts vehicle throughout the journey. Access to the kennel and/ or garage area will be provided for owners/ escorts during the voyage at the discretion of the crew and will be dependent on sailing conditions.
When Cap Finistère is operating on the Portsmouth to Santander/Bilbao route, dogs must either occupy the kennel provided, or one of the pet friendly cabins (located on deck 9), these cabins may be booked online or through our reservations service, for further information please call: 0330 159 7000. Pets cannot remain in the owner's vehicle on the car decks.
When travelling on Etretat to/from either Santander or Le Havre, or on Baie de Seine to/from either Bilbao or Le Havre, your pet/s must occupy one of the pet friendly cabins and cannot be left in the vehicle. There are no kennels on Etretat or Baie de Seine. Online a maximum of 1 pet can be booked into a pet friendly cabin. If you wish to take more than 1 pet please call us on 0330 159 7000. The layout of the Baie de Seine's garage means we're unable to accept bookings for pets in vehicles over 1.83m high or towing a trailer and/or caravan.
You will be given instructions on the procedure for the transfer of your pet from the car to the kennel or pet friendly cabin by the crew on embarkation. With the exception of assistance dogs, pets are only permitted in the areas designated for pets on board the ship. These will be signposted on board.
For reasons of hygiene and the comfort of other passengers, animals must remain either in your vehicle, or in the kennel provided (dogs only). Animals will not be permitted in the passenger areas of the ship (except assistance dogs).
New for 2016 on board Pont-Aven!
We're pleased to announce that a new dog-exercise area is available this year on board Pont-Aven.The kennels are still located on deck 10, but the newly created, more enclosed exercise area is now located-below-on deck 9. This area is accessed by a set of stairs leading directly down from the kennels.
Please remember that this is the only area in which you may exercise your dog, with all other outside decks being out of bounds. A muzzle must be worn by your dog at all times.
Visiting your pet
If your dog is travelling in a kennel to Spain you will be given a key and can visit and exercise the animal at any time during the crossing in the designated areas on board. Your dog must be muzzled and on a lead at ALL times when out of the kennel.
If your dog is staying in your vehicle, or in a kennel to St Malo, we will arrange visits during the crossing - this will be weather permitting and at the discretion of the crew on the day. Please report to the Information Desk on board for details of times and arrangements. You will be responsible for cleaning up after your pet on board, suitable dustbins are provided in the designated pet areas.
All dogs on every route must be muzzled while being checked at our ports, during the short transfer between your car and the kennels or pet friendly cabin on embarkation and disembarkation and while being exercised. The transfer will be escorted by a crew member in groups using lifts passing through other passenger decks. You must provide your own muzzle and we recommend you familiarise your dog with the muzzle before travel. We reserve the right to refuse carriage if your dog is not muzzled. Pets must remain under the control of owners and be kept on a lead at all times. We ask customers to respect these animals and not to pet them.
You may find this video from the Blue Cross helpful about muzzle training your dog.
Helpful points to note
Consider the length of the journey and how this may affect your animal. The animal must be fit to travel and we recommend that you consult your vet before the journey. Brittany Ferries cannot accept liability for any adverse reaction that your pet has to the journey or facilities provided.
Pet travel is very popular and space is limited and subject to availability. Early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
We do not accept pets travelling with foot passengers, cyclists, motor cyclists or freight.
Pet owners/escorts are solely responsible for being aware of, and complying with, the regulations of the country they visit with their pet. There may be prohibitions or certain regulations for specific breeds and they may be refused entry or carriage.
Important information
If any element of the PETS certification or microchip procedures should fail, we will only carry the animal if quarantine arrangements have been made for arrival in the UK. Any such arrangements and subsequent costs will be the full responsibility of the pet owner/escort.
In order to minimise failures upon return, it is part of the Company's procedures, wherever practical, that microchips are scanned and checked prior to departure from the UK.
Passengers should be prepared for an inspection by DEFRA upon entry into the UK, to ensure that all procedures have been properly followed and that documentation is in order. A failure at this stage could result in the pet being either re-exported or placed in quarantine (at the owner's expense).
Owners/ escorts are solely responsible for being aware of, and complying with, regulations in their country of destination. They should also be aware that some countries have prohibitions and special regulations regarding certain breeds of dogs, and that they may be refused entry or transit. Please contact the appropriate authorities (eg the Embassy) of the countries you are travelling to and through, or DEFRA for further information. Brittany Ferries will not accept any responsibility if your pet is refused entry to the country of destination, or any country in transit.
We will not accept bookings:
- On the day of departure
- for unaccompanied pets
- for those travelling by foot, bicycle or motorcycle
- For rabbits
Brittany Ferries has absolute discretion to accept or refuse any passenger, their vehicle, their pets or their luggage on board. The following administration fees will be made per pet: £16.50 ex UK to France; £24.75 ex France to UK; £29.50 ex UK to Spain; £39.50 ex Spain. An administration fee of €44 ex Ireland to France and €55 ex France to Ireland will be made per animal on Cork to Roscoff Sailings.

Peruvian ambassador in Argentina resigns after meeting with 'terrorist group'
Peruvian Ambassador to Buenos Aires, Nicolás Lynch, resigned to his post after he met with members of an organization suspected to be linked with guerrilla group Shining Path, the Peruvian Foreign Ministry informed.
"President Ollanta Humala accepted Nicolás Lynch's resignation to the post of Peruvian Ambassador to Argentina," a brief communiqué stated.
Lynch tendered his resignation after media outlets reported that in March of 2012 he met with members of the Movement for Amnesty and Fundamental Rights (Movadef), which has been linked with Shining Path.
The former ambassador told an Argentine radio that members of Movadef staged a demonstration outside the Peruvian embassy in Buenos Aires and as he met them, was handed a document demanding amnesty for Abimael Guzmán, founder and leader of Shining Path, and his followers.
The Peruvian Foreign Ministry called Lynch for an emergency meeting on Friday and instructed embassies not to receive Movadef representatives and not to have talks with them.
Furthermore, the Peruvian Foreign Ministry added that Movadef is a mere facade of the Shining Path movement, which requests an inadmissible pretension of amnesty for the leaders of the terrorist organization.
Shining Path began an armed conflict in 1980 in Peru with a death toll of over 68 thousand people, according to a report by the Truth and Reconciliation Committee.

On This Weeks Fires and Drug Busts: Are Daycares Safe?Heather Turgeon
It's been a bad week for childcare facilities. On Friday, a licensed Pittsburg daycare, R&B Childcare Services, was shut down and the owner arrested after police raided the facility and found $6,000 worth of crack cocaine, several bags of sex toys and $4,000 cash on the premises, where 10 to 15 little kids were enrolled.
And in a more disturbing and violent case, Jessica Tata, the owner of a Houston daycare has fled the country after a warrant was issued for her arrest over the daycare fire that killed four small children and injured several others. From the information available, Tata allegedly left a house of toddlers alone while she went to the supermarket.
While she was gone, a fire seems to have started from a pot left heating on the stove.
Both stories are upsetting, the second one tragic. And it leaves some parents with the questions: Is daycare safe – and how do you know?
Here are a few things we can glean from these cases:
1.The bare minimum: If daycares are in-home, they have to be licensed (although it appears in that both were in these cases, so clearly licensure doesn't equal safety)
2.Random visitors are a bad sign: In the Pittsburg case, news reports say that parents noticed multiple people not employed by the daycare going in and out of the facility during the day. This is a huge red flag for me. You may trust the teachers, but what about other people who come and go.
If I were interviewing a facility (especially one in-home) I would ask the question: Does anyone visit during the day (aunts, uncles, friends, etc) and why?
3. Ratio: A daycare with a decent ratio of teachers to toddlers (1:3) isn't necessarily safe, but one with a low ratio is a bad bet. In the Jessica Tata case, she seems to have been the only care provider with seven toddlers. That would be dangerous even if she hadn't left the house, but the fact that she was alone and had no back up teachers was a tragic mistake.
4. Philosophy and structure: When you interview the daycare director and teachers, ask what their approach to child care and child development are. You want to feel on board with their methods, but it's also a good sign if they have a philosophy to begin with and are thoughtful enough to answer this question well.
5. Volunteer or do spot checks: After you've thoroughly interviewed the staff, especially the director, it helps to pop in at random times to see how things are managed and what the kids are doing when it's not drop off and pick up time. In some cases you could ask to volunteer for part of the day to see the place from the inside.
Can you add any advice to this list? How do you know a good solid daycare when you see one?

The Gorges de l'Ardèche begins at the Pont d'Arc, a very beautiful 54m-high arch that the river has cut for itself through the limestone, just downstream from Vallon, itself 39km south of Aubenas. The gorge continues for about 35km to St-Martin-d'Ardèche in the valley of the Rhône.
The gorge winds back and forth, much of the time dropping 300m straight down to the almost dead-flat scrubby Plateau des Gras. It's beautiful, but a tourist trap; the road following the rim, with spectacular viewpoints at regular intervals, is jammed with traffic in summer, when you should book accommodation well in advance. The river, down at the bottom, which is where you really want to be to appreciate the grandeur of the canyon, is likewise packed with canoes in high season.

About Good Energy
Good Energy is a British renewable energy company with a difference.
Founded in 1999, our mission at Good Energy is to transform the UK energy market by helping homes and businesses to be part of a sustainable solution to climate change. By joining Good Energy you will be part of a community of homes and businesses that either:
- buys 100% renewable electricity and green gas, through switching their supply
- generates renewable power in their own homes
- invests in renewable power as a shareholder of Good Energy
Simply switching to Good Energy could cut your carbon footprint by up to 50% and means that the UK has to import less fossil fuels from abroad.
All of the electricity Good Energy provides comes from over 1,000 different locations across the UK, harnessing local, natural sources like sunshine, wind, rain and biofuels. We even own some solar and wind sites including Delabole Wind Farm in Cornwall, Woolbridge Solar Park in Dorset and Hampole Wind Farm in Yorkshire and have also invested in the planned Tidal Lagoon in Swansea Bay to further diversify our sources of renewable energy.
We've also just launched our carbon neutral green gas with 6% of our gas coming from biomethane: gas produced from organic matter – like manure and sewage – here in the UK.
Why Good Energy is different
We don't think the energy market needs to be complex and mysterious. That's why we offer one standard electricity tariff and one dual-fuel tariff for both electricity and gas.
We want to keep costs down for our customers, so our tariffs are affordably priced – our average standard tariff being cheaper than the 'Big Six'.
We've also been recognised for consistently top customer service by both Which? and MoneySavingExpert users.
We hope to inspire an energy revolution in the UK, which breaks the strangle-hold of the big old-fashioned energy generators and move to a cleaner, greener future.

On-again, off-again couple Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mary-Louise Parker appear to be back on – as in, really on.
The pair are engaged, New York's Daily News is reporting, saying that the two, who appear as husband and wife on the Showtime series Weeds, have been telling friends of their intention to marry.
When reached by PEOPLE, a rep for Morgan had no comment on the report.
Morgan, 41, and Parker, 43, were first seen together at a party in New York in December 2006 and then went on to shoot down frequent reports that they weren't getting along or had even parted ways.
Last March, they attended the opening night of the Broadway musical Curtains along with Parker's then-3-year-old son William – whose father is actor Billy Crudup, whom Parker dated from 1996 to November 2003.
In June 2007, Parker and Morgan really did split ("It just didn't work out," said Morgan, "wrong time in both our lives"), but by last December they were spotted together again, this time at a movie premiere.
Asked that night what he thought about his date, Morgan told PEOPLE, "What about her?" as he raised an eyebrow and flashed a sly grin.
Not that son William and Morgan are the only ones in Parker's life. In September, her rep exclusively confirmed to PEOPLE that the actress had adopted a baby girl from Africa.

Miles Jacobson is a good talker. He knows how to sell you his game and always comes across as a man who genuinely cares about the Football Manager series his Sports Interactive studio created. We caught up with him to talk about how development is going on this year's game, the future of the series on consoles and if the online version of the game has a future.
Q: It must be hard to continually think up new ideas for such a long running franchise. Where do you guys source new ideas from?
Miles Jacobson: It's actually the key point of what we're doing here - we've changed the way we work as a studio. The ideas used to be just from us internally, we'd do whatever we wanted to do with the ideas that came through. We don't have any designers at SI, so we all get involved in the design process. Last year, when we announced FM 10, we said there would be less new features this year as we were going to concentrate on polishing the game. We've grown a lot as a studio, there are nearly 70 of us now, we've been used to much smaller teams than that - so we've had to get more organised. I went through our entire Test Track bugs database (DB), and found that we had about 800-900 feature ideas in that DB. So we move those across to a separate database. We then put all of our own ideas into that separate database. We collated all the ideas that came through from different people at SEGA - those internally who worked on the database. We started talking to people who play the game, like mates of mine - what they wanted to see in the game. Those all went into the features database. Then we sat down at the beginning of the year and spent three weeks, all whole days, just going through every single idea that was in the DB. As a team, everybody in the studio was invited to those meetings.
Q: QA as well?
MJ: QA, Office Manager, me, producers, devs - everybody was invited. You'd go to whatever meeting you wanted to, and everybody had a vote on every feature. So we went through every single feature and had votes out of five - for everyone - and lead to a percentage score which became a priority for being in the game. I then sat down after that meeting and went through absolutely everything, and effectively came up with feature sets for the next three years. Then on top of that, we've had other ideas come in during the year, which we'll then sit down and go through. I'll then move things around from different games to different games. We're now trying to concentrate on - if we're doing features then they're new - there'll be some of those each year, but a lot of things we'll be doing is revamping areas.
So, you know, a lot of the announcements we've made are that we've revamped this, we've changed that - because times change, and technology changes, and our skills change, so we're able to improve a lot of things. We'll be looking at each area and working out where the priorities are that need to be changed, and then take sections, so, as an example, press conferences. Press conferences are alright, but they get a bit boring for people. Now, in the real world, I can guarantee that today, I will be asked one question by every single journalist. It happens. And I try and be enthusiastic every time I'm asked it, but it gets a bit dull - we've had to get variation in there, we've had to make sure the answers are relevant to the situation, because that's the feedback we've been getting - "this question doesn't actually relate to the situation I'm in". So we've spent a lot of time revamping as well as adding new stuff, but certainly for the next three, four, five years, we know we've got enough stuff. And there's more new features this year than ever before, and we're going to be trying to keep this weight of new stuff up as well.
Q: OK, so of the new stuff that's in there this year - what features are you, personally, most proud of?
MJ: My favourite thing I'm not allowed to announce yet because legal haven't signed it off! [laughs] That'll be in the next few weeks. But other than that, the feature set this year - there'll be different things for different people depending on how they play the game. When I play the game I'm a wheeler dealer. I'm a Harry Redknapp type. I buy and sell players, so the agent side of things which I was heavily involved with, talking to agents, getting a lot of new contract clauses off them - that's the area that I love. The player interaction, as well, is much better this year, it's still not perfect, but it's much better. So when a player is unhappy, you can actually get to the bottom of the reason why, and try to make him happy again. So from a personal point of view, that's my big thing.
There are other people in the studio who just love the match engine. If you were to look at the 3D view from FM2009 next to FM2011 - there's such massive changes. The kind of improvements you'd expect an action game to take five years with, we've done in two. So we'll be continuing on that path as well, to really improve that area.
Dynamic league reputation - I play career games. Now, historically I'll play as Watford, because that's the team I support and I love. And I know that the English leagues are pretty strong. So if a team does do well, I'm going to be able to attract better players. But with dynamic league reputation, those people who start off with Northern Ireland, or Denmark or Sweden - as their team start getting better, as they improve, the league will start getting better. You'll be able to attract better players to it. It's something that we've seen happening a lot over the last couple of years, in particular Turkish football, German football and French football as well. It's not just about signing new players, it's about the players you're able to hold onto as well. There 's kind of something for everyone this year, that's kind of the plan. For me, the contract negotiation stuff is awesome.

Reprinted from a press realease issued by Mayor Harris Monday Morning
Sally Harris, Nevada City Mayor and City Council Member since 2004, has announced she will not be pursuing re-election in the upcoming June Primary.
"Working with the community, city staff and fellow council members has been a highly rewarding, enriching and productive experience," said Harris.
"Nevada City with its 3,000 residents continues to shine and represent many things great. With the help of the voters we were able to keep our city strong and moving forward during this lengthy, economically depressed period. They approved Measure S in 2006, a sales tax hike allowing us to resurface every roadway in town, one area at a time over 16 years, while improving and adding new sidewalks and walkways. In 2012 Measure L was passed giving us the ability to maintain city services at the level our community deserves and needs. Both initiatives passed by overwhelming margins which is a powerful statement, in and of itself, about our residents and how much they care about our city" she said.
Harris further believes it important and significant that for the first time there is an action plan in place to build up a financial reserve as well as a budget plan that is sustainable for the long-term future.
In addition to adding land on Cement Hill Road to the Hirschman's Pond site for better parking and public access, Harris stated "With the help of our City Council and staff plus strong leadership from Gene Albaugh along with support from the Friends of Sugarloaf we were also able to secure Sugarloaf. That promontory is a true crown jewel for our community, to protect and enjoy for all time."
"While public service is not about the benefits to those who serve, I must say how grateful I am for having been given this opportunity. On a personal level I am much closer today to the wonderful organizations and people that live and work in our town and our neighboring areas. They care deeply about what we have, and do what they can to make it endure and prosper. Thank you all for your support and participation these past ten years."
