Rosen repeated conservative distortions about U.S. attorney dismissals
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Discussing the Bush administration's firing of eight U.S. attorneys, Newsradio 850 KOA host Mike Rosen repeated numerous false or misleading conservative talking points. In addition to mischaracterizing the firings of U.S. attorneys when former President Bill Clinton took office, Rosen wrongly asserted that the attorney in Washington state was a Democrat. Rosen also ignored evidence that partisan considerations might have played a role in the firings of certain U.S. attorneys.
During the March 22 broadcast of his Newsradio 850 KOA show, host Mike Rosen repeated conservative distortions related to the Bush administration's controversial firing of eight U.S. attorneys. Rosen declared there was "nothing unethical" about the firings, ignoring evidence that partisan considerations -- namely, the intention to specifically target Democrats or shield Republicans -- might have played a role in some of the firings. He also erroneously insisted that former Washington state U.S. attorney John McKay is a Democrat, despite information to the contrary. Furthermore, Rosen falsely claimed that U.S. attorneys let go when former President Bill Clinton took office were given "10 days to move out of their offices."
After citing an op-ed piece that asserted the dismissals resulted from policy differences with the administration or questions about one of the attorney's managerial skills, Rosen claimed that there is "nothing illegal" and "nothing unethical" about a president "in his sixth year making some changes among U.S. attorneys."
From the March 22 broadcast of Newsradio 850 KOA's The Mike Rosen Show:
ROSEN: I cited the case the case of John McKay, who happens to be a Democrat from the state of Washington. There was also the case of David Iglesias. He was from New Mexico. And in The Wall Street Journal's column on this the other day, they also said the following: "As for some of the other fired attorneys, at least one of their dismissals seem to owe to differences with the administration about the death penalty, another to questions about the attorney general's manage" --excuse me, about the attorney's, not the attorney general's -- "about this U.S. attorney's managerial skills. Not surprisingly, the dismissed attorneys are insisting their dismissals were unfair, and perhaps in some cases they were. It would not be the first time in history that a dismissed employee did not take kindly to his firing. Nor would it be the first in which an employer sacked the wrong person. No question, the Justice Department and White House have botched the handling of this issue from start to finish. But what we don't have here is any serious evidence that the administration has acted improperly or to protect some of its friends. If Democrats want to understand what a real abuse of power looks like, they can always ask the junior senator from New York." And they're talking about Hillary Clinton, going back to when Janet Reno -- the incoming attorney general -- cleaned house, firing all 93 U.S. attorneys in March of '93. And, of course, you remember Webster Hubbell.
CALLER: Yes.
ROSEN: He -- acting as, as Janet Reno's enforcer -- he gave them 10 days to move out of their offices.
ROSEN: As we've discussed, the process is normally more gradual and transitional than it was during the Clinton administration. There's the difference between that and a president while he's in office in his sixth year making some changes among U.S. attorneys. There's nothing illegal about it. There's nothing unethical about it. And if it's politically motivated, that's fine. It's OK for it to be politically motivated. And where the Bush White House and Alberto Gonzales started digging themselves a hole here was when they tried to take the high road and assert that there were no political considerations involved. As if there's something wrong about having political considerations involved. There isn't, in my view.
However, Rosen failed to note that, as the Congressional Research Service reported, historically very few U.S. attorneys have been dismissed within a single presidential administration before the expiration of their terms:
At least 54 U.S. attorneys appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate left office before completion of a four-year term between 1981 and 2006 (not counting those whose tenure was interrupted by a change in presidential administration). Of those 54, 17 left to become Article III federal judges, one left to become a federal magistrate judge, six left to serve in other positions in the executive branch, four sought elective office, two left to serve in state government, one died, and 15 left to enter or return to private practice.
Of the remaining eight U.S. attorneys who left before completing a four-year term without a change in presidential administration, two were apparently dismissed by the President, and three apparently resigned after news reports indicated they had engaged in questionable personal actions. No information was available on the three remaining U.S. attorneys who resigned.
In asserting that U.S. attorneys such as McKay and Iglesias were dismissed for cause, Rosen ignored evidence that partisan considerations -- namely, the intention to specifically target Democrats or shield Republicans -- may have played a role in some of the firings.
As Media Matters for America noted, according to a March 13 Washington Post article, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that Bush and senior adviser Karl Rove complained to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in October 2006 about some prosecutors' lack of zeal in pursuing voter fraud cases. As the Post reported, since the 2000 presidential election, Republicans repeatedly have alleged that "convicted felons and other ineligible voters have been permitted to cast ballots to the benefit of Democrats." The Post also reported that Justice Department officials said Gonzales' former deputy chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson -- who resigned recently in the wake of disclosures related to the scandal -- in October added Iglesias of New Mexico to a list of prosecutors who might be fired, "based in part on complaints from Sen. Pete V. Domenici and other New Mexico Republicans that he was not prosecuting enough voter-fraud cases."
Iglesias has claimed he was terminated after resisting pressure from U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) and Domenici to accelerate his investigation into a Democratic state senator before the 2006 elections, as Media Matters has pointed out. Domenici and Wilson have admitted calling Iglesias but have asserted that they did not "pressure" him. As noted by the weblog Talking Points Memo, however, a March 11 McClatchy Newspapers article reported that, according to Perino, Rove "specifically recalled passing along complaints about ... Iglesias and may have mentioned the grumblings about Iglesias to ... Gonzales." More broadly, the McClatchy article reported, "Rove relayed ... concerns among Republican Party officials in various jurisdictions" -- in particular, New Mexico and Washington state -- "that the Justice Department was not being aggressive in pursuing allegations of election fraud by Democrats."
Likewise, Republicans in Washington state heavily criticized McKay for ending his investigation into their allegations of voter fraud in the 2004 Washington gubernatorial election, which was won by Democrat Christine Gregoire. In a March 13 article, also noted by Talking Points Memo, The Seattle Times reported, "McKay insist[ed] that top prosecutors in his office and agents from the FBI conducted a 'very active' review of allegations of fraud during the election but filed no charges and did not convene a federal grand jury because 'we never found any evidence of criminal conduct.' " The Times article also noted that, in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, McKay stated that he had received calls in late 2004 or early 2005 from Rep. Doc Hastings' (R-WA) chief of staff, Ed Cassidy, "about the status of ongoing investigations of voter fraud."
Additionally, there is some evidence that might suggest that San Diego U.S. attorney Carol Lam's investigations into a corruption scandal surrounding convicted former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) played a role in her dismissal. According to a timeline compiled by Talking Points Memo, The Wall Street Journal reported (subscription required) on May 6, 2006, that Lam's office was investigating Kyle "Dusty" Foggo in connection with the Cunningham case. The Journal made the disclosure in an article about the resignation of then-CIA director Porter Goss, who had chosen Foggo to be the CIA's Executive Director. According to the blog TPM Muckraker, the Los Angeles Times reported on May 11 that Lam's investigation had widened to include Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), then-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. That same day, as Talking Points Memo noted, Sampson emailed Deputy White House Counsel William Kelley, writing about "[t]he real problem we have right now with Carol Lam that leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires." As Colorado Media Matters has noted, such interference in the execution of a U.S. attorney's duties might constitute obstruction of justice, a federal crime.
As Adam Cohen noted in his March 19 New York Times column, Lam's dismissal might have violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (c), which prescribes penalties for "anyone who corruptly 'obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,' including U.S. attorney investigations." Similarly, a March 19 Associated Press article reported on Sampson's email to Kelley and quoted U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) as saying, "The sequence of events raises a question as to whether Ms. Lam was asked to resign because she was hot on the trail of criminal conduct relating to the Cunningham case." The article also quoted U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as saying, "[I]f any U.S. attorney were removed because of a public corruption investigation or prosecution this well could comprise obstruction of justice."
Furthermore, Rosen's claim that the Clinton administration gave Bush's holdover U.S. attorneys 10 days to vacate their offices is false. As the Los Angeles Times reported March 23, in delivering the request for resignations, Hubbell actually indicated that the attorneys should remain in office until their successors received confirmation:
Nonetheless, the idea that Clinton and Reno broke with precedent and fired all U.S. attorneys upon taking office has played a key role in the public debate in recent weeks. In conservative media and on talk radio, Reno's abrupt firing of all the U.S. attorneys had been described as extreme and unprecedented.
Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania's attorney general, knows the story firsthand.
"I am the one who took the message," he said in an interview Wednesday.
In 1993, he was the U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh and the liaison between the outgoing George H.W. Bush administration and the incoming Clinton administration. "We had been asking them for months: 'When do you want our resignations?' " he said.
The answer came in a meeting with Webster Hubbell, the associate attorney general, in mid-March. "He said, 'I have good news and bad news. The good news is the attorney general wants you to stay until your successor is confirmed. The bad news is she wants your resignations by the end of the week,' " Corbett said.
Despite Reno's request for all of their resignations, some U.S. attorneys stayed on the job for several more months.
Finally, citing The Wall Street Journal, Rosen repeatedly -- and falsely -- insisted that McKay is a Democrat:
CALLER: Did you say that John McKay was a Democrat?
ROSEN: Yes, he's a Democrat.
CALLER: And, and on what --
ROSEN: That's what I said. He's a Democrat, yes.
CALLER: And -- and on what basis do you say that?
ROSEN: Because he's a Democrat. That's on what basis I say it. Do you know that he's otherwise?
CALLER: Well, I'm lookin' at Wikipedia, and it --
ROSEN: Be careful about Wikipedia, incidentally.
ROSEN: I look at it too, but always take that through a filter. Anybody can post anything on Wikipedia.
CALLER: Well --
ROSEN: John -- John McKay is a Democrat.
CALLER: OK. Wikipedia says that he is a -- a Republican, but --
ROSEN: Wall Street Journal on March 14th identified him as a Democrat.
CALLER: All right.
ROSEN: In this case I would regard The Wall Street Journal as a better source than Wikipedia. You know how postings are recorded on Wikipedia, don't you?
CALLER: People submit 'em.
ROSEN: Yes, they can write whatever they want, and they can change an existing posting. So while there's some good stuff on Wikipedia -- as I say, I've used it in the past -- you have to be careful about Wikipedia, 'cause there's some terrible stuff on there as well.
CALLER: Well, their source for this -- that he's a Republican is The Seattle Times. So, who knows?
ROSEN: The Seattle Times would be a better source on something like this than Wikipedia.
ROSEN: In any event, my understanding is he's a Democrat and he's being removed because they don't like the way he's handled his position as U.S. attorney.
As Media Matters has noted, the Journal's assertion that McKay -- whom President Bush appointed to the position -- is a Democrat apparently stems from a letter sent to Rep. Hastings by Tom McCabe, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association of Washington, in which McCabe called McKay a Democrat. But Chris Vance, the former state Republican Party chairman, was quoted in a March 14 Seattle Times article referring to McKay as a Republican, stating that "he felt compelled to approach McKay [on the election matter] as a fellow Republican." An October 31, 2001, Seattle Times article (accessed through the Nexis database) about McKay's swearing-in as U.S. attorney described McKay as a "moderate Republican," and a May 19, 1999, Associated Press article (accessed through Nexis) identified McKay as a Republican and quoted him referring to the GOP as "our party." The Department of Justice website documented that McKay previously worked for Republican Rep. Joe Pritchard (WA) and as a White House fellow under George H.W. Bush in 1989-90. Also, according to Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Joel Connelly, McKay's family has been "involv[ed] in four Bush presidential campaigns."

Experiences in Passively Detecting Session Hijacking Attacks in IEEE 802.11 Networks
Gill, Rupinder, Smith, Jason, & Clark, Andrew (2006) Experiences in Passively Detecting Session Hijacking Attacks in IEEE 802.11 Networks. In Buyya, R., Ma, T., Safavi-Naini, R., Steketee, C, & Susilo, W. (Eds.) Proceedings of 4th Australasian Information Security Workshop (Network Security), Australian Computer Society Inc, Hobart, Tasmania, pp. 221-230.
|Accepted Version (PDF 586kB)
Current IEEE 802.11 wireless networks are vulnerable to session hijacking attacks as the existing standards fail to address the lack of authentication of management frames and network card addresses, and rely on loosely coupled state machines. Even the new WLAN security standard - IEEE 802.11i does not address these issues. In our previous work, we proposed two new techniques for improving detection of session hijacking attacks that are passive, computationally inexpensive, reliable, and have minimal impact on network performance. These techniques utilise unspoofable characteristics from the MAC protocol and the physical layer to enhance confidence in the intrusion detection process. This paper extends our earlier work and explores usability, robustness and accuracy of these intrusion detection techniques by applying them to eight distinct test scenarios. A correlation engine has also been introduced to maintain the false positives and false negatives at a manageable level. We also explore the process of selecting optimum thresholds for both detection techniques. For the purposes of our experiments, Snort-Wireless open source wireless intrusion detection system was extended to implement these new techniques and the correlation engine. Absence of any false negatives and low number of false positives in all eight test scenarios successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of the correlation engine and the accuracy of the detection techniques.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/1/2014 (1251 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon University women's basketball team didn't end its five-game home stand the way the Bobcats would have liked on Thursday.
The Bobcats struggled in the middle part of their Canada West contest at the Healthy Living Centre, getting shut out in the second quarter and held to four field goals in the third. Brandon rallied for a late charge in the fourth quarter, but couldn't pull it off and fell 58-54.
"It wasn't until the fourth when we figured it out and started playing harder," Bobcats head coach Novell Thomas said. "We can't let it happen, but when offensive woes hurt us or when things struggle at the offensive end, it's affecting our effort and our demeanour at the defensive end, and we can't let that happen.
The Bobcats (5-10) had a solid first quarter and built a 21-17 lead, but they struggled after that. The team couldn't get a shot to fall in the second quarter and made only four of its 35 field-goal attempts in the second and third to trail by 15.
It was a very uncharacteristic run for Brandon as players missed open looks and layups that they usually make, and Kaela Cranston felt if the Wesmen (7-8) weren't rushing BU's shots, then the players were in their own heads feeling they had to get them off quickly.
"I think we just thought we were rushed," she said. "Their defence is the same throughout the whole game, so it's not like they were doing anything differently. I think it was just we were in our own heads, rushing and not playing the way we know how to play."
Cranston hit five three-pointers in the second half to keep the Bobcats within striking distance and they rallied from a 12-point deficit with 2:12 left to close the gap to two before Cranston missed a pair of free throws that would have tied the game with 21 seconds remaining. A technical foul called on the Bobcat bench with six seconds left ended Brandon's comeback hopes.
Cassie Cooke finished with 13 points for the Bobcats, while point guard Aleah Bridges had 11 rebounds. Stephanie Kleysen led the Wesmen with 16 points and 12 boards, with Megan Noonan also posting 16 points.
Thursday's game was the first of a home-and-home set between the Wesmen and the Bobcats. They'll close it out on Saturday at the Duckworth Centre.
Although they came out on the wrong end of the scoreboard, Cranston hopes the Bobcats' late charge will help them take some momentum into the rematch.
"If we play like that on Saturday we'll have a good chance at winning and taking one from them," she said. "It was a good finish. There's positives there."
Meanwhile, in the men's game, the Wesmen (10-5) went on an 11-0 run late in the fourth quarter and hung on to beat the host Bobcats 77-69, putting a huge dent in the playoff hopes for Brandon (5-10). The Bobcats are now five games back of the Wesmen for the final playoff spot in the Prairie Division with seven games left.
Jordan Reaves had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Brandon, while Ilarion Bonhomme had a team-high 16 points. Steven Wesley led Winnipeg with 23 points and 14 boards.
The teams will face each other again on Saturday in Winnipeg.
CAT SCRAPS: Bobcat F Amy Williams left the women's game late in the third quarter after rolling her left ankle. She is hopeful to play on Saturday.

Rashad Jennings is the Giants' lead running back. That is known. David Wilson , now that he has been medically cleared, should be the change-of-pace backup. That is pretty much a lock as long as he stays healthy.
But there could be room for a third consistent contributor to this running game. That is if you believe Art Stapleton, Giants reporter for the Bergen Record. He tweeted Tuesday that he "could see" Jennings, Wilson, and rookie running back Andre Williams being used in a rotation, "especially to keep Jennings fresh."
Fantasy Analysis:
It's only an opinion, but one that could have some merit. Williams actually worked with Eli Manning and the first-team offense during goal-line drills in today's practice. Wilson was with the second team.
Williams reportedly has a lot to work on in terms of technique, but if the Giants keep it simple and just ask him to convert by the goal line this year, they may be able to get the most out of the rookie while he polishes his all-around game on the side.
Williams is listed at 5-foot-11, 230 pounds. Jennings is no small dude either; he's 6-foot-1, 230 pounds. But last season's 163 carries with the Raiders marked a career high for him. Plus, Jennings has been injured fairly often in his career, including 2011 when he missed the entire season due to a knee injury.
Moving to such a rotation sounds smart for the Giants. But it will drive fantasy owners absolutely bonkers. Jennings is being drafted in the mid-20s among RBs. Maybe lower him just a tad until we get deeper into training camp and a better picture of how the carries in this backfield will be divvied up develops.

Whattya Listenin' to Wednesday - 3/31/10
Mornin' ya'll...
I say it so much I might as well consider myself a suck-up, but you readers make my week and it's my pleasure to keep The Metal Minute afloat while I work on my other projects plus attend to family duties. Not once have you faithful lot deviated according to the weekly hit count, even with scaled-back production. I can't it say enough, thank you.
Coming up through this week will be reviews of what was promised already and I think we'll see a surprise Take 5 sneak in here, groovy?
Though he's not metal, almost every true music fan loves Johnny Cash. The original Man in Black, before metalheads usurped the image. In fact, Johnny was so forward-thinking he embraced all types of music outside of country. Yeah, he did a strange duet with U2, but more so if you've ever seen his seventies variety show, Johnny Cash brought on entertainers from country to rock to folk to soul to gospel. The man was a legend for multiple reasons and if you get a chance to hear his farewell album American VI: Ain't No Grave, be prepared to be devastated. Joey Ramone's goodbye solo album was wrenching enough, but Johnny Cash stares death in the eye and sings about it on this album. If the Grammy committee doesn't give him a posthumous award for this album, then quite simply...they're fucked in their heads.
On that note, cheers to each and everyone of you and enjoy the Easter holiday however you may!

Edgar Heinrich to Head BMW Motorcycle Design
posted by Bryan Joslin on 31 January 2012 in Motorcycle News
Edgar Heinrich, the man who designed such memorable bikes as BMW's R100RS and R1100RT as well as the HP2 Megamoto, will take over as BMW Motorrad design chief effective July 1. He will replace David Robb, under whom he worked from 2007 to 2009 and who is leaving the company.
Though he started at BMW as a designer in 1986 and worked for the company for 23 years, he has spent the last couple years as the vice president of product design for Indian vehicle maker Bajaj Auto. "I am very pleased to be returning to BMW Motorrad and having the great opportunity to be involved in shaping the two-wheel future of the BMW Group with an outstanding team."
Naturally, he has the backing of BMW Group design director Adrian van Hooydonk, who adds, "Edgar Heinrich is an excellent motorcycle designer and passionate motorcyclist who has already made key contributions to BMW Motorrad design in the course of his many years of experience. I very much look forward to collaborating with him to take BMW Motorrad design to ongoing success in the future."

Bone marrow - nonneoplastic
Lymphocyte maturation
Reviewers: Dragos Luca, M.D. (see Reviewers page)
Revised: 16 October 2012, last major update August 2012
Copyright: (c) 2001-2012, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Lymphocyte precursors originate in bone marrow
● Mature lymphocytes are present in variable proportions in the bone marrow: children < 24 months of age may have up to 60%; adults usually have < 20%, but some develop lymphoid aggregates (non-paratrabecular), especially with age
● Unlike other hematopoietic cells, terminal differentiation of mature lymphocytes takes place in secondary lymphoid organs after they leave the bone marrow
● Mature to B cells (humoral immune response) or T/NK cells (cell-mediated immune response)
● B cells complete most of their development within the bone marrow, but T cells are generated in the thymus from precursor cells that migrate from the bone marrow
● Recombination-assembly of Ig and TCR genes represents the main process in the development of B and T cells (regulated by RAG-1, RAG-2 and TdT)
● Initially (children) have B:T cell ratio ~ 2:1; after 4-5 years of age, proportion of B cells decreases and T cells increases, reaching adult levels during adolescence (1:4-5)
B cell maturation
● B cell development in marrow is dependent on CD10+ stromal cells (J Pathol 2005;205:311), which form specific, adhesive contacts with developing B lineage cells and also provide growth factors (stem cell factor, IL-7, stromal cell derived factor 1)
● Earliest stem cells are in subendosteum, adjacent to inner bone surface; with maturation, B lineage cells move towards central axis of marrow; final stages of development of immature B cells occur in peripheral lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes)
● Germline B cells undergo a series of Ig gene rearrangements to produce a heavy chain (μ) followed by light chains (κ or λ)
● Commitment to B lineage was initially thought to be indicated by CD79; subsequent studies showed that cytoplasmic CD22 appears to be the most specific B cell marker
● A minor subset of B cells also express CD5 (T cell marker)
● Plasma cells are last stage of B cell maturation, express CD38 but lose CD19
T/NK cell maturation
● T cells migrate from bone marrow to thymus and mature via TCR gene rearrangements
● Most specific T cell marker appears to be cytoplasmic CD3
● During thymic maturation sequence, T cells are initially double negative for CD4 and CD8 (pro- and pre-thymocytes), then double positive (cortical thymocytes), then express either CD4 or CD8 (medullary thymocytes)
● In NK cells, rearrangements of T cell receptor genes do not occur; proportion of NK cells in bone marrow does not change with age
● Most NK cells (both true and cytotoxic) are morphologically large granular lymphocytes
Micro description
● Lymphocytes diffusely scattered throughout interstitium; represent 10-15% of marrow cells in adults; aggregates often present
● Different subsets (B, T, NK) appear morphologically similar: small to large size, variable amount of cytoplasm, round nuclei, dense chromatin, variable inconspicuous nucleoli
Micro images
Left: normal lymphocytes; right-movement of B lineage cells with maturation
● Earliest immunologically recognizable B cells: TdT, CD34, CD79a, HLA-DR, +/-CD10 and +/-CD45; they subsequently acquire CD19, cCD22, CD22 and CD20
● Pre-B cells: +/-TdT, HLA-DR, CD19, CD10, CD20, CD22, CD79a, CD45 and cμ
● Mature B cells: HLA-DR, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, CD45 and sIg
● Precursor T cells: TdT, CD34, cCD3, CD2, CD5, CD7, CD38, +/-CD1a and +/-CD45; they are initially double negative for CD4 and CD8 (pro- and pre-thymocytes), then double positive (cortical thymocytes) and then they only express either CD4 or CD8 (medullary thymocytes)
● Mature T cells: CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7. CD45, either CD4 or CD8
● NK cells: CD16, CD56, CD57, +/-sCD3, +/-CD8, +/-CD2, +/-CD7 and +/- cytotoxic proteins (perforin, granzyme, etc.)

LAS VEGAS - Following the home-networking emphasis Microsoft Corp.'s Bill Gates put on his opening keynote here, Daeje Chin, president and chief executive officer of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s Digital Media Business unit, announced two upcoming products for the networked home during his keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Chin gave the audience a glimpse of the NEXiO, which he termed "a PDA phone converging with a PC," and of a media center for the home.
The NEXiO device, which looks like a handheld PC crossed with a tablet PC, features a 5-inch VGA (800 x 480 pixel) display, a built-in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000 module for high-speed wireless voice and data access, and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, according to information from Samsung.
The NEXiO, which runs Microsoft's Windows CE 3.0 on Intel Corp.'s 206MHz StrongARM processor, features 64M bytes of SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) and 32M bytes of ROM. The NEXiO also includes applications such as Pocket Word, a spreadsheet program, a PowerPoint Viewer, as well as voice recording and MP3 playback software.
Additional options include a camera, GPS (Global Positioning System) and wireless LAN modules. The NEXiO will be available "in a few months," Chin said.
Chin also showed the Samsung Home Media Center, a box for the living room that will hold media files including digital photos, MP3 audio files and video, Chin said. The Media Center will also allow users to surf the Internet from the living room and send information to networked displays throughout the home, including analog television sets equipped with an additional digital-to-analog converter, he said.
The Home Media Center will be based on FreeStyle, a technology announced by Microsoft's Gates Monday night which turns the Windows XP interface into a control panel that can be operated using a remote control-like gadget. Samsung expects the Home Media Center to be available within 12 months, Chin said.

The Spencer County Board of Education recently released Superintendent Chuck Adams' annual summative evaluation scores, and the numbers reveal disagreement among board members as to how effectively Adams is leading the district.
"I found a gold mine down here," shouted Denny Markwell to others when he discovered a fresh collection of garbage near the shores of Taylorsville Lake.
I can hardly wait for this year's first harvest of summer squash. Last year was a bust because of the heat; so, I have high hopes for a bumper squash crop this year. Mostly, gardeners complain about losing their plants to the squash vine borer; but, I have managed to offset that pest pressure by delaying planting in order to miss peak egg-laying time. I have also used row covers, lifting them in the morning so bees can do their pollinating, then covering them during the day when mama wasp of the vine borer does her work.
Coming out of the wettest combined April and May on record, Kentucky agriculture producers are dealing with a multitude of problems including flooding and increased disease.

A certain sense of comradeship and loyalty has been hard-wired since these women were young girls.
She had risen and was looking at him expectantly, with a half smile that seemed to invite one to comradeship.
He had no glimpse of the comradeship after which the girl's soul yearned.
Despite her lack of sentiment, she flashed Helen a smile of comradeship.
And she wanted to keep the spice of madness which from the first had seasoned their comradeship.
He knew himself and the child in the artist that cried out for comradeship and love.
But she had to risk it if their comradeship was going to mean anything.
Brotherliness, or comradeship, shows itself in unselfish service and cooperation with others.
It is light and joy and sweetness, comradeship and all dear kinship.
1590s, "one who shares the same room," from Middle French camarade (16c.), from Spanish camarada "chamber mate," originally "chamberful," from Latin camera (see camera). In Spanish, a collective noun referring to one's company. In 17c., sometimes jocularly misspelled comrogue. Related: Comradely; comradeship.

Excellent piece. One thing that I do see needing change as we go through the "buyers remorse" period is metrics. By that I mean meaningful metrics. We keep hearing about "Where's the ROI?" and we can push back on that as absurb but what people are really asking is, "How does this help the business?" People see images of cats and just can't make the connection. And why do we post pictures of cats? Because it gamed Edgerank. We have been obsessed with fake metrics pushed on us by platform vendors and championed by agencies because they were easy to deliver to. Fans, followers, reach, mentions, likes, shares - all can be and will be manipulated and will result in poor practice and clog social with commercial trash.
There is no meaningful benchmark metric - it depends on what you are trying to achieve and we need to understand that setting goal in advance is the way to go. This is much harder to measure but that is the challenge and until then, agencies will take social to the edge of brand disaster.
Some examples are measuring the recruitment of (and enabling) brand advocates, growing the number of socially engaged customers, connections with industry influencers (to use their channels), providing content for and identifying employee advocates etc.
You will know from your Comcast days that the engaged customers that hung about forums and helped fellow customers were invaluable. These people are often far more helpful that the support lines. Telcos were 10 years ahead of other industries. The same is true for high tech companies like Dell, and Apple. BIX was a powerful social network in 1985. Customer engagement has worked but we have been overwhelmed with social as a traditional marketing channel rather than a value added network that benefits the customer.
This requires work, thinking, and rewards systems. No one talks about this as a goal but for many companies it is very powerful as with Citi's own womens Linkedin group.

Spot on Frank. Interested in seeing where we end up.
May 31 Posted 3 years ago
Very interesting and thought-provoking read, Frank! This is one I'll read again as there is meat in this article that is worth taking some time to process and digest. I look forward to seeing changes in how we tend to use social media, even when we don't think we do, in a similar fashion to traditional media. Both have value, but they are different. Thank you!
May 30 Posted 3 years ago
ITA w/ you Frank.. so many of the brands I follow are doing it wrong. Trying to trick me the consumer, trying to sell at me when I'm a loyal customer, trying to gamify this or 'content' that when it's all about them and sell sell sell... wrong. It is about context; it is about real engagement, the kind that helps me; it is about being not doing social. It's also about results and outcomes, sales are only a part.
Everyone loves the Oreo example, myself included. As a business communicator, I thought it was a great example of real time, of how to show some personality, how to tap into the moment - and achieve results. They gained fans and followers, earned lots of media, became more top of mind with many consumers, probably impressed investors on Wall Street. Again many positive outcomes, with the following catch: they didn't do the only thing that so many company's seem to be after, sell. As a consumer, I don't really like Oreos so.. no ad, no clever tweet, no amount of social engagement will ever get me to buy them.
You're right about transparency; about brands living, thinking, breathing social and digital; most importantly, about really focusing on the Customers - what they want, what they need and delivering that. Build a better brand, be a better company, offer something else -- not sure what it would be, but maybe Oreo could make a cookie I'd like. FWIW.
May 23 Posted 3 years ago
This is a very important piece, Frank. It has me thinking of how we might, at SMT, research this issue and back up your instincts with more data. More to come. Also must-reading on this topic, http://t.co/8YvcWkNdiT Shel Israel writes in Forbes about his take on Scott Monty's departure.
May 23 Posted 3 years ago
Nicely done Frank, I agree wholeheartedly. Will definitely share.
Brands/Companies that use social successfully reap the rewards of customer satisfaction, deeper employee loyalty, more effective knowledge sharing, improved brand reputation, lowered costs, and importantly, increased revenues.

Talk on the radio brought up in my mind a situation that I didnt know right away how to resolve: Can you use lethal force to prevent a child from being abducted? Of course it might not be clear if something is a true abduction if you dont know the child--it could be horseplay or a parent dealing with an unruly kid, but if you KNEW the child was being abducted (your own kid etc) could you use lethal force?
If the abductor was unarmed?

Immunize Babies and Toddlers on Time to Prevent Vaccine Preventable Diseases
Young children rely on the adults in their lives to keep them safe and healthy. Those adults include parents and caretakers who should keep a record of their child's vaccinations and ask at each doctor appointment whether their child is up-to-date on immunizations. And, those adults include doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who should share scientifically-accurate, up-to-date information about vaccines with parents and caretakers.
Vaccine preventable diseases can be especially serious, even life threatening, for infants and young children. That is why it is so important for babies and toddlers to receive vaccines on time before they are exposed to vaccine preventable diseases. This year during National Infant Immunization Week, April 20-27, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) acknowledges the work of county health departments and other healthcare providers across Oklahoma for their work in promoting vaccination of infants and children. The most recent health data for child immunizations in Oklahoma indicates that 77.3 percent of children ages 19 months to 35 months have received all recommended vaccines for their age, compared to the national average of 77 percent.
The OSDH urges parents, health care providers, and public health officials to work together to ensure that all children are fully immunized by remembering that:

Cherry pitter
I like to put some pits in the jelly bags when I cook the jam as it adds a lot of flavor—almost almond-like. I take the bag out before I put up the jam. Also, the pits have a lot of naturally occurring pectin.
cute little guy chomps the pits right out, leaving you with perfect cherries for pies or eating.
