Unlike last year, when they had three of the first five picks, the Dockers

Peter Bell. They went for tallish flanker types in McPhee, Woods and Scott
Recruiting manager Phil Smart:
``We didn't need to get any more on-ballers - we've already got Bell and Cook
and Hasleby and Toia. So we were trying to get guys who are about 186cm and
higher. We've got three guys who are 188cm, 189cm and 192cm. It's a bit of extra
height in the club."

18, 185cm, 88kg
Strong mid-fielder who could play seniors next season. Long left-foot kick,
did not play much football last season, but with limited options and plenty of

Re-drafted. Lively on-baller who can be used in a tagging role.
79 Hamish Simpson (Geelong)
17/1/76, 191cm, 90kg
Redrafted. Strong-willed defender.
The Cats barely had any presence in the draft. They did not have a selection
until No.44 and used their second and third choices (the minimum is three picks)
to redraft players they had already cut. They are either happy with the state
of their list or didn't rate highly the quality and depth of the draft pool.
Coach Mark Thompson:
``We picked Josh Hunt who didn't play a lot of footy last year and the other
young fellow that we had our eyes on just went before our pick ... It was always
going to be tough, with 44 and then 71, there was a long break in between. We
are not too unhappy. If you combine the trade period and the draft we have four
new players in a year where you are reducing lists by two, so it's not too

4/3/83, 188cms, 86kgs
Left foot half-forward who is an excellent kick. Member of AIS/AFL Academy
squad in 2000, versus Ireland.
72 passed selection
The Hawks were not major players, having given up their first pick for Shaun
Rehn in trading and their second round choice designated for father-son recruit
Stephen Greene. Hawthorn was in the happy and unusual position of not needing to
find talls.
Recruiting manager John Turnball:
... ``Partly by virtue of the fact that our picks were 21, 43 and 58 we were
looking for a mid-fielder ... who could kick goals."
6 Dylan Smith (Sandringham Dragons)

60 Corey Jones (Bendigo Pioneers)

Adelaide and Craig Sholl retiring, we needed a key forward, some height," Pagan
said of Rocca.

key position player. Injured throughout most of this year.
84 Passed selection
The Dees were yet another club with only a cameo role - thanks to the AFL's
draft penalties for cap rorting, they didn't have a pick between 16 and 64. They
did well, however, to secure Scott Thompson at selection 16, who will add to
their increasingly formidable midfield.
Melbourne recruiting manager Craig Cameron: ``It was pretty good. We had
draft penalties in the second and third round, so we had to sit there while a
lot of guys went. We are happy with our first pick (Scott Thompson). Thought he
was a top 10 selection, so we are happy he got through."

pick (24).

good as what's gone down in the past, so as a consequence we gave up our first

from Ken Judge's happy hunting ground, East Fremantle.

tall and we picked McDougal first for the long term. With a new lease of life,

The Doggies, once devoted to recycling in the Carlton-Kangaroos style, have
taken a turn towards a youth policy since Scott Clayton arrived at the club.
Their first choice, Jordon McMahon, was highly rated by a number of clubs and

Testimonials from 2013 honorees:
"Participating in the Milwaukee's Finest event was a great experience. I met and worked with great people and learned a lot along the way about the disease, the CF Foundation, and about fundraising. It also helped me expand my network to people that I remain in touch with today. I enjoyed coming up with new ideas and developing them into events. I was amazed at how receptive and generous people could be and it made me feel great to support such a worthy cause."
~ Ray Poole, Eaton's Cooper Power Systems
"I was incredibly honored to be nominated for the 2013 Milwaukee's Finest by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. While I am not personally affected or know someone who is affected by cystic fibrosis, I learned that it is a heartbreaking disease that with the support of research and generous donations, it is manageable - even curable! This event gave me the opportunity to work with other young professional leaders in the area who strive to make a difference in our community. I have found a cause that I can continue to support because I believe in its mission and the people who support it."
~ Julie Gahl, Marcus Hotels & Resorts

Illegal Israeli settlers burned the entrance of a West Bank mosque in the early hours of January 15.
The settlers infiltrated Deir Estia village and attempted to burn the entire Ali Bin Abi Taleb Mosque but were chased away by locals who extinguished the fire before it spread.
Mayor Ayoub Abu Hajleh said the settlers stormed the area at 3:30am and set parts of mosque ablaze.
"The town's residents rushed to put out the flames before expanding to other areas," he said.
The mayor added that the Jewish settlers had sprayed slurs like "Death to Arabs" and "Revenge is coming against Muslims," in Hebrew on the mosque walls.
Israeli settlers are responsible for dozens of similar attacks against mosques, churches, Islamic and Christian holy sites and graveyards in occupied Palestine.
In many cases, they have written racist graffiti, not only against the Arabs and Palestinians but also, in several cases, against the Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ.
Last year, Israelis attacked, defaced and burned several Muslim and Christian holy sites and graveyards across occupied Palestine. They also cut, uprooted and burned hundreds of Palestinians trees, as well as flooded farmlands with sewage water in different parts of the occupied West Bank.
At least 145 Palestinians were injured in a total of 91 attacks by Jewish settlers from January to November of 2013, according to figures released by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
According to OCHA, the same period also saw 300 attacks targeting Palestinian-owned land and property.
Palestinian officials accuse Israeli army and police personnel of turning a blind eye to attacks by settlers.

Federer Hits With Tsonga and Laver For Charity
Roger Federer held a charity event at Rod Laver Arena last night and I was lucky enough to attend. The night was called Roger Federer & Friends and it kicked off with some interviews with Australian stars, Tony Roche, Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter.
The main event was to be an exhibition match between Federer and Jo Wilfried Tsonga, but first both those men needed warming up. Tsonga was lucky enough to get Rafter to hit with before the match. As someone who didn't watch tennis before Federer became a force, it was interesting to see how simply Rafter's swing is. He reminded me of golf's Ernie Els, who is nicknamed 'The Big Easy'.
With Tsonga warmed up, we all wondered who was going to warm up Federer. Lleyton was in a suit, (and Brisbane probably a little too fresh), so perhaps it would be Fed's old coach, Tony Roche? Nope, out of the tunnel came none other than Rod Laver, dressed in his tennis whites.

Andre Brown, Terrell Thomas Lead Giants Over Raiders 24-20It certainly was not pretty, but at this point in the season, style points do not matter. The New York Giants played rope-a-dope with the Oakland Raiders, and running back Andre Brown delivered the knockout punch in New York's 24-20 victory over the Silver and Black on Sunday in a windy MetLife Stadium.
Giants Wilson & Rogers Go To IR, Kuhn & Brown ActivatedA disappointing 2013 season came to a premature end for New York Giants halfback David Wilson yesterday. The second year player from Virginia Tech was placed on season-ending injured reserve by the G-men, who activated running back Andre Brown from the injured list as well. Meanwhile, the Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden sat out practice with a pulled hamstring and looks unlikely to play on Sunday.
Rested Giants Host Hobbled RaidersFresh off their bye week, the New York Giants play host to the visiting Oakland Raiders at the Meadowlands this week. New York, winners of two straight games, was off this past Sunday, but lost ground in the division standings, since all of the other NFC East teams won their games.

Macworld.com – Reader Terry Rister is interested in moving iPhone SMS messages from here to there. As in:
I'm wondering if it's possible to print a text message from my iPhone? Perhaps forward it somehow to the MacBook Pro and print from there?
You can do this with Ecamm Networks' $20 PhoneView. Among PhoneView's many talents (including using your iPhone as a storage device when connected to your Mac, copying the iPhone's music, videos, and photos to your computer; and viewing and editing the iPhone's notes) you can export the phone's SMS messages as text files, which you can then print.
It's easy to use. Install it, plug in your iPhone, and PhoneView launches. To access the phone's SMS messages, just click the SMS entry on the left side of the PhoneView window. You can copy individual messages, Command-click to copy several messages (helpful when you want to copy just those messages that are part of a particular conversation), or copy all messages by selecting one message, pressing Command-A to select them all, and clicking the Copy From iPhone button at the top of the window.

Sports Direct is to hand its staff a payout worth more than £50,000 this summer after the sportswear giant met its profit targets under a lucrative share scheme.
The retailer will award 2,000 employees an average 12,000 shares in August, which — based on today's stock price of £4.42p — are worth £53,000 each. This payout is addition to the typical award of £15,000 made last August.
The share scheme that Sports Direct started in 2009 is more generous than the much-lauded staff bonus paid by the John Lewis Partnership. And more payouts are on the cards for employees from Sports Direct's ongoing bonus programme, as the retailer today said it was "certain" of hitting its target of underlying profits of £270 million for the year to April 28.
The group, which Mike Ashley founded from a store in Maidenhead in 1982, has powered through the consumer downturn and its strength helped to send rival JJB Sports into a grave last year. The 470-store-plus chain grew its total sales by 14% to £317 million over the nine weeks to March 31, boosted by surging online revenue.
Sports Direct will put to shareholders a new "super-stretch" bonus for Ashley, its deputy executive chairman and owner of Newcastle United Football Club, in September. The group is likely to increase his target from £290 million to £310 million for 2014.
Dave Forsey, Sports Direct's chief executive, said: "The strength of this nine-week performance continues to show the resilience of our business model, notably in the UK."

Endermologie Brisbane 12 sessions and loving it!
- Jess08
- Last updated: 3 years ago
I'm absolutely loving the confidence after having 12 sessions of endermologie. I've been having 2 a week since Christmas and have noticed my skin a lot less lumpy and smaller by a dress size. My therapist does 50 minute sessions starting with a vibrating type feeling to get rid of bloating, really works. Tend to feel very thirsty afterwards, and end up in the bathroom a lot, but I guess this is getting rid of fluid. I'm hooked!!!


text: The concern is gas pressure at the gas port. You can get an adjustable gas plug to vent excess pressure, but if you stick to IMR4895 and 150 grain bullets you'll be OK. I wouldn't chance it with the PMC unless you get the adjustable gas plug, but it's your op rod. I don't crimp for the M1.

NEED HELP with board selection
Hey,I'm new to the forum, and am seeking a little advice. I am 6'2" and about 150 lbs, I currently ride a k2 155cm anagram. I know it's an intro level board, and I am looking to step it up a little this year. I spent all last season in the parks in eastern north carolina, where we get mostly ice and the snow is never deep. However, I'm going to montreal this year for college fest. I was wondering if my anagram's camber shape will hold up in powder? and I'm looking to upgrade my board anyway, and I want a park board, am very interested in the rocker/reverse camber technologies, especially because I already have a camber board that I plan on keeping. my buddy rides a park pickle he got last year and loves it. so I'm leaning torwards that board. any other's to consider? I've heard the rome machete is a pretty good ride too, also saw a few reviews about the k2 Happy Hour, which looks sick but I'm not sure if it's gonna do what I want it to in the park. what I really liked about my buddy's riding when he switched to the park pickle was how easily he pressed the board (i'm thinking due to it's rocker shape) on boxes and rails, and how well it handled rails and spins in general.
Any input would be GREAT. Thanks

Computer aided process planning for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products
Park, Dong Hwan & Yarlagadda, Prasad K. (2004) Computer aided process planning for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products. In Ghosh, S., Castro, J.C., & Lee, J.K. (Eds.) Proceedings of Numiform2004, American Institute of Physics, Columbus, Ohio, pp. 1985-1988.
|PDF (431kB)
In general, deep drawing products have various cross-section shapes such as cylindrical, rectangular and nonaxisymmetric shapes. The application of the surface area calculation to non-axisymmetric deep drawing process has not been published yet. In this research, a surface area calculation for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products with elliptical shape was constructed for a design of blank shape of deep drawing products by using an AutoLISP function of AutoCAD software. A computer-aided process planning (CAPP) system for rotationally symmetric deep drawing products has been developed. However, the application of the system to non-axisymmetric components has not been reported yet. Thus, the CAPP system for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products with elliptical shape was constructed by using process sequence design. The system developed in this work consists of four modules. The first is recognition of shape module to recognize non-axisymmetric products. The second is a three-dimensional (3-D) modeling module to calculate the surface area for non-axisymmetric products. The third is a blank design module to create an oval-shaped blank with the identical surface area. The forth is a process planning module based on the production rules that play the best important role in an expert system for manufacturing. The production rules are generated and upgraded by interviewing field engineers. Especially, the drawing coefficient, the punch and die radii for elliptical shape products are considered as main design parameters. The suitability of this system was verified by applying to a real deep drawing product. This CAPP system constructed would be very useful to reduce lead-time for manufacturing and improve an accuracy of products.

The Territory Era
There have been a couple of threads recently that have been discussing the territories. AS someone who grew up watching and loving that era I thought a primer might be called for since most posters on the forum were not around in this important time of the sport. The territories basically grew up around media markets, and thrived off low cost/ highly rated television that the local stations loved because they could sell ads. Some of the territory shows dominated their ratings.
I will simply list the Major American territories (there were other smaller territories) and years of exsistence, list their operating area, and list some of the top stars (of course I will miss some of these but this is a start, feel free to add significant ones I missed). I realize you could probably find all this via wikipedia or other sites but here it is in one place, as a good primer for those interested in this era.

NWA Mid Atlantic (1931-1988): The Carolinas, Virginia: Ric Flair, Blackjack Mulligan, Wahoo McDaniel, Masked Superstar, Jack and Jerry Brisco, Rip Hawk, Paul Jones
Big Time Wrestling (1959-1980): Michigan, parts of Ohio: The Shiek, Bobo Brazil, Fritz Von Erich, Johnny Valentine, Eddie Cretchman, Crybaby Cannon, Mark Lewin
WWWF (1952-nationalized in 1980): The American Northeast: Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales, Spiros Arion, Killer Kowalski, Gorilla Monsoon, Antonio Rocca, Chief Jay Strongbow, Tony Garea
Some would call the AWA a territory, especially since it had only a couple of territories that recognized it's World Title. However most wrestling mags, and historians considered the AWA as a national company that split off the NWA in 1960, especially since the AWA booked shows all over the Western United States where they had television markets.
AWA (1960-1991): Minnestoa, Wisconsin, and individual cities like Chicago, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas etc...: Verne Gagne, Mad Dog and Butcher Vachon, Baron Von Rashcke, Nick Bockwinkle, The Crusher, Crusher Blackwell, Greg Gagne, Curt Henning

Conceptual clustering is an important way of summarizing and explaining data. However, the recent formulation of this paradigm has allowed little exploration of conceptual clustering as a means of improving performance. Furthermore, previous work in conceptual clustering has not explicitly dealt with constraints imposed by real world environments. This article presents COBWEB, a conceptual clustering system that organizes data so as to maximize inference ability. Additionally, COBWEB is incremental and computationally economical, and thus can be flexibly applied in a variety of domains.

(CBS) Brothers Dan and Jordan Pious swindled their way to the top and took home the million dollar grand prize on Sunday night's season finale of "The Amazing Race."
Despite starting off almost four hours behind, the sibling duo from Rhode Island were able to surpass the two other teams by pulling some rather unsportsman-like moves.
While on their way to San Francisco from Shanghai, Jordan and Dan arrived last to the airport but sneaked ahead by cutting in front of cowboys Jet and Cord in line at the ticket counter. Later, they found themselves in the number one spot after Dan asked the flight attendant to move them up to first class, which allowed them to be first off the plane.
Models Caite and Brent were the second team to get off the plane, but later fell behind after struggling with cab problems while en route to the Presidio, the second destination. Jet and Cord whizzed by them and quickly deciphered the riddle they found, which directed them to Coit Tower.
The clue at Coit Tower was a roadblock, and had one member of each team complete a vertical climb to the tower's archway to receive the third clue. Dan got the clue right when Jet and Cord arrived to the scene, while Caite and Brent were in a distant third and just got a hold of the riddle.
The next clue asked them to find the Yoda Fountain at Lucasfilm Ltd. The teams had to navigate a virtual world, with one partner suited up in a motion capture suit searching for the clue while the other was behind a computer giving directions.
When Jet and Cord arrived, they tried to distract the other set of brothers by being loud and obnoxious, which initially frustrated Dan. But, Dan and Jordan were able to pull through and eventually find the third clue first.
Still struggling to catch up, Caite and Brent finally arrived to the scene and attempted to close the gap between themselves and the cowboys. The four of them finish right at the same time and headed to the next destination, the Tonga Room, San Francisco's first and oldest tiki bar.
Just as they left, Caite and Brent realized they had left their wallets and personal belongs at Lucasfilm and were forced to go back, diminishing their chances of winning.
While at the Tonga Room, the clue asked the teams to pick up a big, heavy chest and lug it to their next destination: The Great American Music Hall. Once they arrived at the Hall, the teams were to open up the trunks and find 11 psychedelic posters that included faces of the eliminated teams. From there, they needed to use their memory and arrange them in the proper order before they received the next clue.
Jordan, an avid "Amazing Race" watcher, had a feeling this challenge would come up so he had all the names already noted down. They raced through the challenge before the cowboys even arrived and headed for Candlestick Park, the next and final destination.
Jet and Cord arrived to the Hall and quickly worked through the challenge. Once they left, it appeared that the race was neck-and-neck with the other set of brothers. But, in the end, Dan and Jordan were the first team to cross the finish line. An elated Jordan was grateful to his brother for helping him fulfill his dream of winning the race.
"I love my little brother and it's so great knowing I could help him make his No. 1 dream come true," Dan said.
Jett and Cord were happy with their second place arrival at the finish line. "We kept our character and integrity in tact — we can hold our heads up high," they said.
When Caite and Brent finally arrived, everyone greeted them with smiles and applause except for Brandy and Carol, the team that Caite u-turned in a previous episode. Caite attempted to apologize but Brandy quickly snapped back.
"I don't want to hear sorry from you. You purposely whacked us," she said.
Caite, unfazed by Brandy's remark, stood on the stage and closed this season of "The Amazing Race" with the perfect retort:
"I'm the one standing here and not you."

Obama: Fathers can be mentors
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging fathers to get more involved in their kids' lives and to serve as mentors for children who don't have fathers around.
Obama is reflecting on Father's Day in his weekly radio and Internet address. He says he knows how important dads are because his own father was absent. Obama says he tries to be the father and husband his family didn't have. He says being able to have a child doesn't make you a man, but having the courage to raise one does.
Obama recorded the address at the White House before departing Friday for North Dakota and California.

Memories of Barton Seagrave
Ref: the smithy to the left of the thatched cottages. I was evacuated at the age of 11, birthday the day before, to Miss Scott's cottage (which was sited opposite the smithy). On my first day in Barton (1/9/39) I was given a bedroom in the attic that had a small window where I used to watch the smith at work. It was my ...Read full memory

Off Set- Broken-& Too High Flange
Greetings All - I was replacing to update a 14 year old toilet in my home and have encountered the following problems:
PVC (OFF-SET) flange broken, uneven on 1 side and sits approximately ½ to 5/8 above tile floor.
So far, reading the other posts have helped educate me a great deal!
And so far have tried the flange repair kits (both ring & ½ circle stainless) however did not get a correct fit probably due to the OFF-set original flange & I was uncomfortable with the additional height even though minimal.
Now, well Im not sure what to do. I'm thinking about trying the cut flange & reinstall another advice I've read. At this point if even thought about calling a plumber but it seems that finding good honest workmanship, is impossible at least for me. Thanks for the help!
Can you take a picture? Do you have access to the pipes below?
Yes picture would be good.
Pictures Coming
Thanks for your replies - Look for pictures posted tomorrow. I appreciate your help!
The odd thing is that I only rely on referals from neighbors or friends when I do decide to hire someone - if I can't do the work myself. And the few times I have had to call help, it has usually not been what I consider quality work. For instance when I hired a contractor to install my ventahood - he decided to use his 6" duct and 2 severe 90 degree turns rather than the 8" duct and my plan which I had carefully mapped out. I was taking care of my newborn at the time BUT learned my lesson and should have been carefully following him with newborn and 2 year old in tow. I was the one that actually ended up doing the job over & it really wansn't that difficult.
Good Friday I had drips coming from my first floor ceiling - I called my trusty plumber I had used off and on for a couple years. Since good Friday was a holiday for him - he charged his emergency rate and came pronto. The leak was a tiny leak in a pipe leading to my 3 year old water tank in my attic causing a small amount of water damage. He cut off a small portion of the pipe and after one half hour the job was done and I was only charged a couple hundred dollars.
After the he left, I went up to attic to take a look at the previous amount of damage & noticed this pipe was 'sweating'. I tired to follow where I thought the moisture was coming from and all of a suddan the pipe exploded from the tank into my face and quickly deposited several more gallons of water into my attic before I was able to turn off the main water. It caused an incredible amount of water damage. He did come back and replaced the entire pipe this last time. Ceiling repairs were quoted $850 - but I'm considering doing the work myself - maybe.
So if this is the best referals I can get than I prefer to do the repairs if I can myself. Thanks for your help.

Here are 2 pictures of off-set, broken and loopsized flange.
I did try the flange repair kits but sub floor isn't close enough to catch the screws.
I could possibly have repairs done from the ceiling below if necessary.
Not sure who will do the work but want to arm myself with as much knowledge with this thing as possible.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated! :help:
That's not too bad. Get yourself some galvanized drywall screws a little longer then the screws you have now. Put washers on the drywall screws and secure the repair flange to the sub floor like that. You should be able to flatten out the flange just by tightening the screws. Don't just tighten one, tighten them all evenly to avoid putting all the stress on one screw which could cause it to strip out.

Thanks Marlin, I'm glad it's not too bad!
But I may have bought the wrong flange repair piece (see new photo).
When I place this piece on top of off-set flange the way I think it should be (butt at edges) - it just doesn't seem to fit - Not only will the toilet bolt be too close to the side - the pre-drilled holes in this thing don't line up. Did I buy the wrong thing?
Thanks for taking the time to help me! :icon_lol:
I had a problem that was similar, I needed more "pull" and did like Marlin said, got some longer screws and added a small 2x4 block from underneath so that the flange was pulled down tight.

Here is a pic of my repair from underneath
Thanks H-Man for sending me image. That really helped. I think I'll be able to access through ceiling. And if so, just wondering if I ought to just have a
new one installed. I was trying to avoid having to do that.
Could the loopsided flange be due to the negligence of the contractor not caring whether the pipe was cut straight or not? Even if I step on it - it doesn't want to budge. :confused1:
Also, I can't seem to locate any replacment kit that would work - I can get the screw holes to line up but then the hold down bolt would't be properly positioned. Any idea where I might order one that would work?
Many thanks for your help.
If you notice my pic, I have a rubber coupling in there. Could you cut a small section of your drain line downstairs and then reconnect it with a rubber coupling? The rubber coupling would give you some "wiggle" room upstairs so that you could pull down the flange tight to the floor.
H-Man - Going up through the ceiling is really the best way of solving my problem too after seeing your picture. Thanks for the info.
That's not the flange repair kit I've seen. The ones I've seen are a complete circle, not a part of one.
Did you remove the old screws before trying to screw it down? If you did and can't tighten it down with longer screws and the repair kit you're going to have to open the ceiling. It shouldn't be too big a job to replace the flange.

Taking on Guns and the NRA, One Tweet at a TimeBy
On Dec. 21, a group of A-list Hollywood celebrities, including Jon Hamm, Reese Witherspoon, Jamie Foxx, and Beyoncé, posted an 80-second, black-and-white video clip on YouTube calling for lawmakers to develop a comprehensive plan to deal with gun violence. The clip, uploaded the same day the National Rifle Association held a press conference calling for armed guards in schools and no new restrictions on guns, has been viewed 4 million times.
The public service announcement is well-produced and hits all the intended emotional chords as it reminds viewers of mass shootings from Columbine to Newtown. It's is part of a broader "Demand a Plan" social media campaign by the advocacy group Mayors Against Illegal Guns that was launched right after the Newtown massacre. (The group is co-chaired by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg L.P., which owns Bloomberg Businessweek.) The video also raises an intriguing question: Can social media strategies somehow level the playing field with the NRA, a laser-focused, well-financed, and successful lobbying group with four million members?
John Feinblatt, who oversees MAIG and is a chief policy adviser to the mayor, is ready to go on the offensive with the NRA and thinks the moment has arrived for the gun safety movement to make legislative advances. He says there is "enormous pent up frustration because Americans want to be safe." Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube can effectively focus that raw energy on Congress and President Barack Obama to get things moving and undercut the NRA's clout in Washington. "What people want is to be heard and you have to give them that vehicle," says Feinblatt.
The Demand a Plan site delivers that with video testimonials of 30-plus survivors and victims' family members and all manner of online tools to mobilize support and donations to pressure the White House and Congress. Some 600,000 users have signed an online petition to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, require criminal background checks on every gun sold in the U.S., and crack down on arms trafficking. The Demand a Plan campaign has generated 10 million tweet impressions since its launch on Dec. 17, according to Feinblatt. This chart of Google search results for "gun control" shows interest spiking far higher after Newtown, compared with responses to other shooting incidents, going back to 2005.
Yet it's worth asking if a "Twitter Revolution," to borrow from the Arab Spring lexicon, can change the U.S. gun policy debate over the long haul? Social media is a great technology for disseminating information, organizing protests, and expressing spontaneous emotion—but it is unclear how effective it might be in a prolonged legislative battle to sway, cajole, and basically electorally threaten lawmakers beholden to the NRA and gun industry money.
"Signing an online petition is easy, but getting the continuing electoral and financial support of millions is difficult," says Harry Wilson, a gun industry expert and a public policy professor at Roanoke College in Virginia. "If gun control groups, including MAIG, are not significantly emboldened and empowered by the Newtown tragedy, then they have lost the battle."

EMEA managing director Nic Newman on how newspaper and magazine execs are viewing the apps market.
What counts as a successful apps strategy for print publishers nowadays? Experiment, innovate and iterate, while trying not to pour money down the drain? The pace of the market has been dizzying since the launch of Apple's App Store, as publishers try different approaches.
As managing director of TigerSpike, Nic Newman is one of the people trying to step back and take stock of the key trends. His company has developed iPad and smartphone apps for the Sun, the Economist, the Daily Telegraph, the Times and Time Out among others.
Apps Blog caught up with Newman after a hectic few weeks attending conferences and client meetings, to pick his brains on what he sees as the important trends. "People are getting a better idea of what they want, but they still have no idea where the market is heading to in the future," he says, picking out three trends in particular.
Trend 1: Unique user interface and user experience
"People are moving away from it being okay to having a UX that everyone else has got to saying 'I want a unique UI/UX design to stand out from the crowd," says Newman, although he happily admits that the big danger here is creating too much complexity, especially if people have to learn a new interface for every new media app that they use.
"The whole point is it has to be intuitive, rather than just creating complexity," he says. "Certain features are becoming what I'd call the equivalents of the clutch, brake and gas pedal – for example, left to right reading versus vertical."
So, on one hand, iPad media apps are standardising around certain elements of UI and UX, while on the other, publishers are trying to make their apps stand out still. "In the same way that cars are driven the same way but the body can remain different, the slickness and speed of an app will define its difference," says Newman.
"The message coming back when we run user focus groups – although I'm paraphrasing here – is that in a world where content becomes ubiquitous, user experience is what makes people choose certain apps. The way it feels guides their choice."
Trend 2: Loyalty over downloads
I spoke to Newman a few days before it emerged that Apple had changed its App Store rankings to factor in active usage of apps rather than pure download numbers. He was already thinking along these lines though, after Google had made a similar change in the weeks before the interview.
"There is a move from an obsession about downloads to an obsession about loyalty," he said. "Android changed their rankings to include an element of stickiness, and I'm sure Apple will follow suit. So for a lot of guys we do apps for, the questions are becoming how do they promote re-use, create loyalty and run CRM campaigns?"
Newman sees these app store changes having a big impact on how magazine and newspaper teams view their apps, particularly when it comes to moving away from the brand essence of a title being a monthly or weekly publication.
"People don't want to turn their magazine into the web or a newspaper – that is fundamentally wrong – but what if people could choose to follow a story in the magazine throughout the week after it was first published?" says Newman.
"Think of an article on the BP oil spill, where you can follow the story as it develops through an infographic, which lets you know how the story is developing. A lot of stories can fit into this idea, as well as bringing in the different opinions about a story that people are having."
That brings us onto the addition of social features to these kinds of apps – helping readers to see "what people are saying about these stories out there in the world" in Newman's words. The key challenge is how publishers can make sense of the mass of tweets, status updates and comments around any given story.
"Consumers do not just want a continuous stream, they want to be helped to place a filter over the information. So what kind of filter can we place," he says, stressing that it's early days.
Trend 3: Which platform(s) to target, and how?
Publishers continue to grapple with questions about which platforms to target with their smartphone and tablet apps, even if there are an increasing number of developers and services promising to help them go properly cross-platform.
"Technology-wise, publishers are wondering what they should do," says Newman. "Should they continue to be native or go to HTML5? What is the right technology to become multi-platform, and how can they please their users while reducing the cost of multiple apps?"
And? Newman says TigerSpike's current vision is of a "hybrid app" blending native code with HTML5, to make it easier to launch apps across various devices, while playing to their individual strengths.
"The Economist is going from iPhone to Android quite soon, and if you do it properly, the technology in the background can be replicated to go multi-platform. But the UI and UX has to be fundamentally different," he says, reflecting similar views from Taptu CEO Mitch Lazar, who was interviewed for the Apps Blog earlier this week.
Newman says that TigerSpike's clients are as focused on business models as on technical differences when it comes to weighing up the various smartphone and tablet platforms, with Apple's recently introduced rules on subscription billing – which require publishers to offer an in-app subscription option – giving them a prod.
"Certain companies we're working with are developing a Plan A and Plan B for that scenario," says Newman. Rather than focus on Apple, who may not play ball with them in the future, they're focusing on how they can monetise the other platforms. HP is coming, RIM is coming, the Xoom Android tablet is out now. They're waiting for the other platforms to make it as easy to monetise apps as Apple have, but no one's quite worked it out yet."
