Not Mobile Customers, But Mobile Audiences
by Steve Smith on Nov 19, 12:30 PM
From the time I started this column several years ago, one of my persistent laments of the mobile industry has been that tech companies are not by their nature and culture media companies. It never was in their DNA to think of themselves as content platforms that need to market and merchandise media. They don't think of third-party publishers and advertisers as partners and benefactors with whom they share audience data in order to better target content. And, most of all, they don't really think of their customer base as an audience that constitutes an asset it can use in ...

SMS Ads: Talk to Your Next Date
by Steve Smith on Nov 13, 3:30 PM
"Who are you calling?" my fiancée asks. "A dating service, I think. The SMS ad told me I could 'talk to my next date.'" She is not amused. Note to self: when you buy an engagement ring, consider the pain it might inflict when driven into your rib cage. "Ow! I am testing in-text SMS ads. They come in text alerts and SMS search results from a bunch of providers," I say. "Uh, huh. And why are they sending you
ads? What do they know about you I should know?"
"It seems to be what most of them ...

Street Sales: Merchandising iPhone Apps Without the Store
by Steve Smith on Nov 11, 1:00 PM
At our "iPhoning It In" panel during the recent OMMA Mobile conference, Jason Spero, vice president of marketing for mobile ad network AdMob, stridently declared that developers and brands did not need prominent iPhone App Store placement to make their content discoverable. Ads running on other apps can push a highly motivated audience to your content, he argued. We didn't get to explore the model in detail during the session, so I followed up with Jason. It turns out that one of AdMob's own engineers, Josh Snyder, developed a simple Twister-like touch-screen game, "Knots," that languished in the App Store ...

Shallow And Sassy
by Steve Smith on Nov 6, 1:15 PM
I have been playing around lately with the limited number of consumer brand applications in the iPhone App store. The result so far are mixed. As I mentioned last time, we started talking about the proper form and goal of a branded app at OMMA Mobile, but the answers are not clear-cut. Marketers meet the new mobile content marketplaces and more accessible platform like Android and the iPhone with great ambitions, but they run the risk of both over-shooting and underwhelming their audience all at once.

Building The Better Bottle Opener
by Steve Smith on Nov 4, 12:03 PM
A number of themes and issues from last week's OMMA Mobile show in Los Angeles will reverberate in these columns over the next few weeks, I am sure. But for now one keeps rattling around my head: the marketing effectiveness and purpose of the branded app.

Measuring The Opportunities
by Steve Smith on Oct 30, 2:01 PM
As this column hits your mailbox, OMMA Mobile should be in full swing in L.A. Nielsen's Nic Covey will be kicking off today's show with some recent and fascinating research into mobile habits and ad responsiveness. While I will be curious to see how Nic interprets some of these points today, let me share a few sneak peeks at his deck that intrigue me already.

Bejeweled Begone
by Steve Smith on Oct 28, 2:30 PM
When I think about all the trouble mobile gaming has had getting traction with U.S. customers, I wonder why developers aren't trolling the exploding world of online casual games for innovative ideas like "Pain," the game whose pleasures are as simple and archly sadistic as they are addictive. The last thing we need is another "Bejeweled" variant, or a nondescript 2D side scroller with a movie license slapped on it.

Wapped Upside My Head
by Steve Smith on Oct 23, 12:00 PM
According to a recent survey by Azuki systems, 52% of mobile users access the mobile Web, but 80% wish it were easier to get information there. Aside from the mobile Web numbers being considerably higher than we see from more formal metrics, I am not sure exactly what numbers or sentiments like this really mean. Are users having trouble just getting onto the Mobile Web or finding things there? Well, probably both.

Who Are Your Soldiers?
by Steve Smith on Oct 21, 3:30 PM
Viral marketing campaigns are notoriously unpredictable. Until you send an edgy piece of promotional creative out into the wild, or initiate a UGC come-on, who knows whether it will fall flat or "go viral." I was intrigued by the small scale success of mobile UGC campaign from 211(me) for a Dave Attell comedy show at the Showcase Live in Foxboro, Mass in August. According to 211(me) CEO Robert DeFranco, this use of mobile and Web for grassroots event promotion exceeded initial goals tenfold on some metrics. The client credited the mobile effort with having to adding a second show.

What's On Tonight?
by Steve Smith on Oct 16, 1:02 PM
This whirlwind tour of mobile video comes to an end for now with the granddaddy (in mobile years) of the format, MobiTV. Well, let me qualify. A "whirlwind tour" encompasses my basement office, living room lounger and Borders, where I tested most of these services. For me, that's getting out. My fiancée likes to remind me, "You have the skin color of someone who has been held hostage for a number of years." I think that is the pallor one gets from over-exposure to two-inch LCDs...or that I am a hermit. At any rate, alabaster skin may be the price ...

Top 32 Overall
By: Scott Moore
Posted: 2004-03-01
Category: Washington Redskins News
Taylor is simply the most prepared, most talented, best player in the draft. He's big, strong, tough and very competitive. He'll be a instant starter in the NFL - and we're betting instant Pro Bowl - starter too.
2. Steven Jackson
Our previously ranked #1 didn't do anything to drop in our rankings. He's going to be an outstanding Pro. Jackson will be the 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' pick in the draft. He probably won't be drafted in the top 10. He'll remind GM's of that fact often.
3. Mike Williams
We were shocked to see the USC wide-out declare for the draft. He was so impressive, we had penciled him in for the best player in '05. In his brief college career, Mike Williams was a man among boys. At the next level, he'll beat Randy Moss' numbers and not be Randy Moss in the locker room.
4. Kellen Winslow, Jr.
Tight Ends rarely rank this high overall. But Winslow has a skill package that will draw the attention of every NFL team. He's a complete TE, with H-back potential. Winslow is ready to play at the next level - and he'll make his Daddy very proud.
5. Larry Fitzgerald
Another youngster coming out early. Size, speed, ability, agility, game-breaker... oh, by the way, he's FAST too. In the top 5, and probably ranked too low - but it's crowded at the top! Great college player, will prove to be just as good at the next level.
6. Ben Roethlisberger
Big Ben is a pure stud! He's got size, good feet, a very good arm and intelligence. Our Top rated QB, he's most valuable as a leader. He may not have the NFL family ties, but he's got everything it takes to be a winner.
7. Roy Williams
Let's see... size, speed, good ball skills, man among boys in college... what can we say, Roy Williams is going to make someone very happy in the NFL. Throughout his career he'll be measured against the other Williams and Fitzgerald. Don't be too surprised if he's on top in the comparisons.
8. DJ Williams
A line-backer who can run like the wind, hit like a train and pounce like a mountain lion. In a star-studded lineup at Miami, Williams had to share the spot-light. He'll do the same at the next level. This DJ will crank out the hits!
9. Eli Manning
We know, we know... he's ranked too low. But hey, Eli used to it. "Your Dad was great. Your Brother IS great." How much pressure is going to be applied to Eli? Too much, too early - but he'll end up tougher for it in the long-run. Eli's got all the physical tools and skills and leadership ability to make it.
10. Vince Wilfork
Imagine a younger, stronger, faster, more talented - less-mouthy Warren Sapp... meet Vince Wilfork. Double-teams were routine in college, if not a triple-team. He'll create all kinds of problems in the NFL, the right kind of problems.
11. Robert Gallery
The best OL in the draft. Left Tackles are at a premium, and Gallery will be able to adapt his game to the next level. If your O-line needs help, this kid is going to bring a bodyguard/ chief of security/ mean-streak bouncer - attitude to the party.
12. Kenechi Udeze
A game-changing body with speed to burn. Udeze is young, and might have benefited from another year at USC - but their loss is the NFL's gain. He'll be a great addition to anyone in need of a nightmarish DE. QB's Beware!
13. Derrick Strait
Strait was only the best CB for the best defense in college football. Maybe you didn't notice - but Strait can play the corner as well as anyone. He's got excellent ball skills, a knack for making big plays - and he's not afraid to tackle... what's not to like?
14. Phil Rivers
Rivers gained ground on our top rated QB's. At one point, we were calling Rivers the 'Patrick Ramsey of '04' - but Rivers has asserted himself well. His Combine performance, along with his all-star games have given Rivers a serious edge. Some teams won't be too antsy with Big Ben and Eli gone... they'll lay back and wait for Rivers - and won't be at all disappointed.
15. Tommie Harris
Harris has great speed. He'll be able to play inside or outside at the next level. He's got to learn better technique - but we don't doubt he will. He'll have to add a few pounds to play inside, and add some strength. In the pro-day workouts, Harris might move up considerably.
16. Reggie Williams
When in doubt - draft a Williams. This time it's youthful talent of Reggie Williams. He's big, very fast and good with the ball. He'll be able to make up for his inexperience with some hard work. Reggie Williams won't be anyones consolation prize - he's a bona fide first-rounder in a crowded WR draft.
17. Marcus Tubbs
This Longhorn DT is a workhorse. He's added some muscle and improved his footwork. Probably the most impressive DT at the NFL Combine - Tubbs is worthy of a ranking in our Top 20. Higher than most, but he's going to be a star.
18. Rashaun Woods
At Oklahoma State, Woods was a solid stud. He's got great hands and runs better than most people give him credit for. When the ball is in the air - it belongs to Rashaun Woods. He'll show you soon enough.
19. Shaun Phillips
He's gone under the radar in the 'Year of the WR.' At DE or at LB, he'll be a force. Beyond good size and speed, Phillips plays with a great will to win. Another guy not rated highly by other folks - but we like him a lot!
20. Kevin Jones
A bit of a disappointing '04 campaign, but don't be fooled. Jones is a talented, NFL caliber back. If he has a chance to showcase his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, he'd be perfect in a West Coast offense.
21. Chris Perry
Perry faced the best of the best in college - and excelled. He may well prove himself to be the best RB in the draft. He's tough, runs well inside, runs well outside, catches the ball out of the backfield and has breakaway speed.
22. Chris Gamble
Gamble is gifted. He's got size, speed and ability at several positions on the field. At Cornerback, he'll find NFL WR's a bit harder to handle. If he applies himself and works hard - Chris Gamble just might be a lock-down corner at the next level.
23. Shane Andrews
The only other OL in our Top 32, Andrews has size, size and he's big too. Even guys in the NFL will have to take a cab to get around this kid! He's surprisingly fleet-footed for a guy 6'5" and 371 lbs.
24. DeAngelo Hall
Exactly 23 spots lower than DeAngelo Hall will tell you he should be ranked. But it ain't braggin' if you can back it up! Hall will learn the ropes in the NFL as a DB, but will make an immediate impact on Special Teams as a return man.
25. Ben Troupe
A 'man's man' TE with talent galore. He's a good offensive lineman and unselfish, intelligent football player. He's not afraid to give up his body to make the tough catch either... a nice combination for any TE. Troupe is very special!
26. Randy Starks
Fighting his way back from injuries might scare some GM's, but when you're in a fight - you want this guy on your side. He's a mauler, brawler, tough guy. He's technically sound and uses leverage well. Once the questions about his health are clear - he's worth a very high pick... trust us.
27. Michael Jenkins
Ohio State's WR catches everything you throw at him. He runs good routes, blocks down field and finds ways to put the ball in the end zone. He can run, jump and catch with the best of them. Jenkins is one of the players that makes GM's and coaches look good.
28. Lee Evans
No question about it - Lee Evans is an NFL WR. Here's a kid that worked his way back from a serious knee injury - only to put up a FASTER 40-time than before he got hurt. He's a dedicated student of the game and a great guy off the field too.
29. Karlos Dansby
Great size and ability to play inside or outside linebacker puts Dansby in our Top 32. If Auburn had been more fortunate on the field, Dansby would be better known. As it is - he'll be a steal.
30. Dunta Robinson
Literally burst on the scene at the NFL Combine. He posted what some scouts are calling, 'sub- 4.3' speed. He's got talent as a cover man, but speed is so critical in today's NFL - Robinson will garner a lot of attention.
31. Cedric Cobbs
All this guy has ever done is produce, produce, produce. Quietly, he's risen to our #31 spot and just may keep moving up the charts in NFL War Rooms around the nation.
32. Vernon Carey
Another Hurricane? Yes, and a tough offensive lineman that will be able to start at OG in the NFL in '04. In the right system, he'll move to OLT in a few years and land in the Pro Bowl year after year.

1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (4 Reviews)
wont start with the key.can cross it over but wont stay running
I just bought this car 2 weeks ago from my sister. The brake, ABS brake, low coolant, & check engine soon lights all came on while I was driving it home. Then within 3-4 days it produced a coolant leak. Whenever I would start the car, coolant poured out from the back side of the motor. Put coolant stop leak in and solved the problem for the moment. A day after the coolant leak started; it also produced an oil leak from back side of motor also. Oil stop leak did not work for this problem. I am a chick, so I only know the basic needs to know about cars. Need some advice please.
decent car
Needs brakes and power steering fixed

Do you suffer from
The Handy Pulse Laser therapy device uses the healing power of 3 different low intensity light wavelengths to relieve the pain and inflammation associated with many short and long-term pain conditions.
The Handy Pulse Laser is Australia's leading laser therapy device used by patients and practitioners for over a decade.
Always consult a health professional for advice about using this device. ARTG ID 220699
Low Level Laser Therapy, also known as phototherapy or cold laser, uses low intensity lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) at the infrared and visible red wavelengths to relieve pain and reduce inflammation caused by damaged tissue.
Health professionals around the world use Low Level Laser Therapy to treat patients suffering from a range of pain conditions.
Low Level Laser Therapy can assist to:
"I am an older athlete, with a few niggling injuries. The laser relief has got me back to be able to train with intensity.
My knee is giving me no pain anymore as the laser relief has taken the swelling from my quads and ITB and therefore there is no impact on my knee.
I also use it for my tennis elbow as I am a personal trainer and do a lot of repetition weight lifting.
I also use it after a hard swim session to take the tension from my upper back. Can't live without it!" Sandra E. Mount Warrigal

I have the type of sense of humor that finds Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Archer, Tosh.0, and South Park hilarious. Oh, and Jackass. It's not lowbrow! Its genius is in its simplicity!
I often quote Eddie Izzard, George Carlin, and Denis Leary.
I love Internet memes.
I love all things Microsoft - PCs, Surface, Windows Phone, and especially Xbox. More on this later in my profile.
I like following politics, but it doesn't dominate my interactions. I tend to watch MSNBC over Fox News (unless I need a good laugh), and I look forward to my daily dose of Jon Stewart and weekly dose of Bill Maher. Although, to be fair, sometimes Bill goes a bit off the deep end.
If you were to describe me in terms of D&D alignment, I am Neutral Good, who wishes he were more Chaotic Good.
I do not generally pose for dating website profile photos shirtless in a mirror, I type in complete sentences, and I use grammar and spelling appropriately. So already I should be ahead of the curve, right? :)
See? Now you know why I love all things Microsoft! It's an awesome company!
Yep, I'm a geek, and proud of it.
I promise, though, not to begrudge you your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. ;)
I've been accused of being mildly handy around the house.
I was going to stop procrastinating, but I keep putting it off.
2: Microsoft. Seriously. I have the best job in the best company in the world.
3: As cliché as it may be, my family. My wife is caring and witty, and my kids are hilarious.

At the beginning of the episode, the woman inserts needles connected to wires through the sheet of plastic covering Echo, yet when they believe she has expired, they remove the plastic sheet and the needles and wires are still on Echo's head.
Laurence: We've got to do the thing he fears most.
Echo: Enjoy myself. Ugh.
Laurence: Good times.
Topher: Alpha damaged your brain. We did it to save your life.
Paul: Did what? You made me a Doll?
Topher: Active architecture was the only way to save you.
Paul: Then why do I feel like myself?
Topher: You are. But it's an imprint. I'm sorry. But it was an order.
Boyd: We need you Paul.
Topher: We don't have many friends left.
Paul: What do you mean?
Boyd: Echo, Sierra, Victor. They're in the Attic.
Topher: Even with active architecture, Paul won't be able to execute basic commands. It's like his brain is a football team and I've got this whole new set of brilliant plays, but it doesn't matter because the quarterback's in jail for dog fighting.
Ivy: Yeah, and it's not like his brain can run the Wildcat formation.
Topher: That joke went under my head.
Echo: Victor and Sierra--where are they?
Male Attendant #2: We... we don't use Active-codes here. We use your real names.
Echo: My real name is Echo.
Topher: I've tried homotropic and heterotropic stimulation.
Adelle: Haven't we all?
Topher: Adelle wants to see you.
Ivy: Did she say why?
Topher: Does she ever? Hey, Darth Vader kills lieutenants, not storm troopers.
Ivy: Thanks.
Adelle: You gave us extraordinary technology which will be used soon. The question is whether you have anything more to offer--whether you can accept radical change or if you'll buckle under pressure.
Topher: I don't buckle. Occasionally I swashbuckle.
Adelle: Yes, you're quite a pirate hero, swinging in and dismembering Nolan Kinnard. If you try to keep secrets from the Corporation, you may have every expectation of being chopped into pieces yourself.
Adelle: I have seen the future, Mr. Langton. And it is not for the weak.
Nolan: You know, this is a scenario I've never tried. Rigor mortis. The new Viagra.
Victor: In my scenario, I was constantly fighting myself, at war. Just trying to get home to my girl.
Sierra: In mine, I was constantly making love to you.
Victor: Oh?
Sierra: And then you'd turn into the rotting corpse of a rapist I killed.
Victor: Oh.
Paul: I'm not afraid to lose my life taking you down.
Adelle: I don't want to die.
Paul: Then only one of us is going to be disappointed.
Laurence: I guess I'm glad I never did kill you.
Echo: Don't get sloppy.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell - who has said nary a negative word about the president and administration he served - has finally joined a growing roster of Republican dissidents who have strongly criticized Bush administration policy on the Iraq War and related parts of that crusade.
On the Sunday political show Meet the Press, Powell stated bluntly that the American military detention facility at Guantanamo should be closed down immediately - "this afternoon" to be precise. He also said that the infamous prison where suspected enemy combatants and terrorists have been held incommunicado, mostly without legal counsel and in perpetual legal purgatory, undermines the "American brand" and provides fodder for the world's most disgusting thugs who point to US behaviour at Guantanamo as cover for their own misdeeds.
But Powell's principled call to reverse the wholesale rejection by the US of "rule of law" at Guantanamo is not the only thing that has people chattering. Rather, observers are stunned that the sphinx-like Powell, who has until this week kept his powder dry, came out of hibernation - or perhaps self-censorship - and offered a serious critique of Bush administration policy, something he has strenuously avoided since he left government service in January 2005.
This silence and loyalty to Bush has always seemed out of place given the well-publicised ambivalence Bush and Karl Rove felt towards Powell, who they saw as a threatening political force that they needed to neutralise. But Powell's long-time aide and former chief of staff at the state department, Lawrence Wilkerson, helped lay the groundwork for Powell to eventually break with Bush. Wilkerson cleared his throat on the "Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal" and the utter collapse of the national security decision-making process in a globally reported speech before the New America Foundation on October 19, 2005.
Numerous sources have reported that Powell was not pleased with his former aide's public comments, but in many ways Wilkerson's sizzling speech was a vital part of the effort to preserve Powell's legacy and indicate that he didn't sign off on the administration's efforts to institutionalise soft torture techniques or ignore the Geneva Conventions. The speech also indicated that Powell was, at a minimum, misled on the intelligence that fuelled his presentation on Iraq's WMD efforts before the United Nations - a presentation that was a key moment in the preparation for war.
Wilkerson saved Powell's reputation in the eyes of some people who have yearned to know what the general-turned-diplomat really thought of Bush and his policies. Wilkerson became a proxy for Powell's views - a placeholder, until we learned more from Powell himself. And because Wilkerson broke with him to tell the inside story, and euphemistically fell on his sword to save Powell, the former secretary of state was able to remain almost perversely loyal to the president - whether the president wanted him to or not.
That was vintage Powell: he believes in the preservation of a certain decorum around the Office of the President - no matter who that president is or how wrong-headed that president's policies may be.
But why has Powell finally spoken? Is it guilt for his long-term silence about how America's national security portfolio has been critically degraded? Has the common sense of Lawrence Wilkerson's every-now-and-then e-mail exchanges with Powell moved him forward? Is he miffed that George Tenet, John Bolton, and others are sculpting the "public version" of their mutual history before he does?
I don't think that any of these is the case.
Colin Powell is applying the well-known "Powell Doctrine" in this debate over Guantanamo, and perhaps on the larger subject of the character of this administration.
The "Powell Doctrine" counsels extreme caution in global military affairs. The doctrine insists that before military force is applied, a country must think through every last option (particularly diplomatic); fix the objectives for military action very clearly to avoid 'mission creep'; build alliances and international support for the action; plan for the post-war period and document and make clear the lines defining a clear exit strategy; and, if necessary, apply overwhelmingly massive amounts of force to assure an unambiguous victory.
But there is nuance to Powell's views on military action - or, I would suggest, political action, which is the sort of action he took when he declared that Guantanamo should be shuttered.
The Powell Doctrine is really about applying leverage only when it matters - at a decisive point, or tipping point designed to maximize chances of success. The administration had to falter to a point where Powell's comments would matter enough for him to feel justified in spending political capital. If he had spoken earlier it might have produced no effect.
Some won't understand Powell's reticence. "Too little, too late," they will say. But I don't agree. Colin Powell cleaned up a lot of messes for President Bush, particularly during the early part of his first term. As his political leverage diminished, his comments and his own influence were best kept under wraps until they could matter.
Powell knew the time had come to weigh in - judiciously, with nuance. Just a few words could have a tidal impact. And indeed they did: Powell's defection seriously de-legitimises Guantanamo and the military commissions process. His commentary matters, and it's an indicator of the fact that the vast majority of those in the public and those in power are rejecting Cheney and the warped national security impulses he embraced. From illegal wiretaps to cherry-picking intelligence, from torture techniques to extraordinary rendition, Cheney's "war paradigm" is being unplugged - and Powell is ready to help.
One close friend familiar with the inner workings of White House national security decision-making told me that in the first couple of Bush years, the single most important person who helped "fix" problems that America was getting into was Colin Powell. He mattered when he was in the room - and didn't when he wasn't. When he was gone, Rumsfeld and Cheney would undermine the counsel and strategic game plan he had helped the president understand. That's one of the reasons why Powell travelled as little as possible.
In the end, Cheney and Rumsfeld succeeded in eroding Powell's influence as a cabinet member. But by holding back patiently and making his move at the right time, Colin Powell is making a difference that may decisively submerge the legacies of Rumsfeld and Cheney.
Bush would be wise to listen to Powell and close Guantanamo.

Obsolete farm equipment once the mechanical cotton picker was invented, blacks migrated to the north in depressing numbers and overwhelmed the civilization whites established in cities like Gary, Detroit and Chicago.
The ancestors of the black "great migration" (sic) are hard at work confirming just why white southerners long ago provided the historical activities motivating the 1915 movie Birth of a Nation... [10 shootings a day: Complex causes of Chicago's spiking violence, Chicago Tribune, July 1, 2016]:
To understand Chicago's violence, start at Kostner Avenue and Monroe Street and walk west up a one-way stretch of graystones and brick two-flats. There on a boarded-up front door you'll see the red stain of gang graffiti. On the cracked sidewalk below lies an empty heroin baggie. Hardened young men sit on a porch.
This single block on the West Side — part of the Harrison police district — has been the scene of at least six shootings so far this year. A masked gunman shot a teen in the stomach. A father delivering groceries to his daughter was shot before he could escape gunfire. And in late June, police again unspooled the yellow crime scene tape in the alley behind the block after a teen was fatally shot in the head.
As Chicago heads into the often violent July Fourth weekend, these kinds of stories are all too common in pockets of the West and South sides. At the halfway point of the year, homicides have jumped by 49 percent citywide to 312 through Tuesday, reaching levels unseen since the late 1990s. Shooting incidents have risen by even more, marking the third consecutive year of double-digit increases.
While it doesn't rank as the nation's murder capital on a per-capita basis, Chicago is the runaway leader in the sheer volume of killings and shootings. New York and Los Angeles don't even come close. Through June 19, Chicago had more homicides than those two larger cities combined, records show. The two combined had fewer than 1,000 shooting victims during that same period, while Chicago by Tuesday topped 1,900 — about 10 a day.
A closer look at the numbers shows the intractable hold that violence has in some of Chicago's 22 police districts. Two of the city's historically most violent police districts — Harrison and Englewood — account for fully one-fourth of the homicides and shooting incidents.
A complex mix of factors is driving the violence. But much of the bloodshed can be linked to gang conflict over everything from petty disputes to control of drug dealing, as well as the splintering of gangs into smaller cliques fighting over a few blocks at a time and easy access to guns, experts say.
A complex mix of factors isn't driving the violence: black people are driving the violence.
There's nothing complex about pointing out this one variable.
It's simple.
But in so doing, we cut to the heart of America's problems: all of America's problems.
When civil rights were granted to blacks, we sadly set in motion a course of events culminating in our tax dollars going to pay to transition U.S. Marines from male to female.
The shadow of Jim Crow lurks upon all of America's racial failures, for our ancestors dared create legal mechanisms to protect the civilization they created and defend their posterity from an alien race entirely hostile to western civilization.
Not only hostile, but entirely incompatible with our civilization.

Goals for Children Last a Lifetime
UNICEF says missing data mean missing children; urges states in Europe and Central Asia to gather and analyse data on children
PALENCIA/MADRID - 19 June 2006 - UNICEF says poverty, violence and exclusion still dominate the lives of millions of children in Europe and Central Asia, despite progress on legal and institutional reforms.
'Too often, we see that legislation is on the books but that many children remain on the margins of society - not registered at birth, not in school, too poor to see a doctor and, for that, all the more vulnerable to violence and abuse,' said Rima Salah, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF.
'The main challenge now is to fast-forward on these reforms and make them a reality for every child,' added Marta Santos Pais, Director of the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre in Florence. 'This can only be done by having children involved from the beginning and listening to what they have to say.'
To this effect, the Spanish Government has generously agreed to host the III Intergovernmental Conference on a Europe and Central Asia Fit for Children in Palencia, to reaffirm commitments made at the UN Special Session on Children in May 2002 and to move the process into top gear.
The Conference runs from 19-20 June during which governments from all over the region will exchange experiences and cement partnerships to deliver change on the ground for children from Ireland to Kyrgyzstan and from Russia to Turkey.
The three areas of discussion in Palencia are:
• Child Poverty and Social Exclusion
Violence against Children is the subject of a benchmark report commissioned by the UN General Assembly, which the Secretary General, Kofi Annan, will present in October this year.
A chronic lack of reliable, comparable data, broken down by income, gender, age, ethnic and social origin, and place of residence is a crucial challenge. Without data of this kind, it is difficult to take appropriate action and to measure progress on children's rights as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
UNICEF urges States to make the disaggregation of data a priority.
'Often data on children are missing. Children are therefore invisible and their fundamental rights are denied,' said Maria Calivis, Regional Director of UNICEF in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS).
Problems also arise when financial resources are not directed to children.
'Every day decisions are taken that neglect children in budgetary allocations. This means teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers are not adequately trained to interact with children nor have they the means to do so. This is false economy,' noted Philip O'Brien, Regional Director of UNICEF's Office for Europe.
'Children deserve to see the same passion that rightly goes into World Cup goals, directed towards goals for them. A goal for children is not short-lived like the goals of the Word Cup; a goal for children lasts a lifetime and can change a generation,' said Maria Calivis,
For many years, UNICEF has called for more consultation with children and more participation by children in the research and design and monitoring of policies and programmes relating to them. Children, together with civil society groups, the media, parliamentarians and service providers will make the critical difference in bringing about a Europe and Central Asia that is truly fit for them.

It seems to me that we all have a reasonable expectation of privacy in our phones. Our private conversations are there. Details about where we traveled, how long we spent in each place, who called us, who we texted--it is all in the phone.
But the police want to be able to take your phone from you and search it for any or no reason. They don't want to have to have a warrant to search your phone. You see, that makes their job more difficult, and they would prefer not to have to have to work hard when they do their job. They wold prefer it if your rights didn't get in the way of them harassing and haranguing you.
What is a warrant, for those who don't know? A warrant is something a judge issues after the judge has heard the facts that the police have been able to gather that bear on whether you may have committed a crime. In other words, the police can't act precipitously if they have to get a warrant. They need to go get approval from someone who is going to question whether they have a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed.
Wikipedia provides a helpful data point here: "[I]n authoritarian regimes, the police typically have the right to search property and people without having to provide justification, or without having to secure the permission of a court." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_warrant
In other words, in the US, if your phone can be searched without a warrant, then perhaps the answer is--we live in an authoritarian regime.
Congress is considering new legislation. Just last week Democrat Senator Leahy proposed allowing the authorities, including up to 22 federal agencies, to read your email without a warrant at all! The Democrat--a big privacy advocate, obviously.
We need to stand up for our rights and demand that Congress respect our privacy, and pass federal law accordingly. What say you Newsvine?

- EVA removable anti-microbial footbed prevents odor
- Non-marking Hydro-Grip rubber sole for traction
- GripX3 Technology for superior grip
- 360-Grip lattice over the mesh for added hold

Now the marquee sponsor of the US Sailing team, Sperry has used their position to get input in designing the GripX3 (Hydro-Grip) outsole and the three uppers. This technology Sperry claims is their "stickiest ever", with Adaptive Wave Siping for wet/dry traction. These shoes have lots of interesting technology that deserve a deeper look. We are going to focus on the SeaRacer and SeaRacer + for this blog.
The construction of the SeaRacer line all starts in the same place:
Hydrophobic Mesh. The mesh spans from the toe all the way back to the mid ankle. This mesh used by Sperry is a very tight weave and is almost like a screen. Using mesh provides the wearer with a very lightweight shoe and an extreme amount of drainage, for when your feet take a dunk. It's hydrophobic capabilities are there to help direct water away from entering in though the sides, but frankly your feet are still going to get wet but will dry very quickly. Sperry added drainage ports on the front 3rd to allow evacuation of water.
Taking grip a step further Sperry added a lattice work of rubber to the upper on the SeaRacer + they call Top-Deck 360. This (.02kg extra) network of rubber provides some extra stick for when the deck is very pitched but also protects the mesh build of the upper from wear and scuffing.
Again departing from the SeaRacer, the plus also features a drawstring (Quick-Draw) lace up system with a built in Lace Garage to stuff the adjustment clip on the tong. It tidies up the exposed loop created by the drawstring and keeps your fit secure. The standard men's and women's is a traditional tie up lacing system.
Midsole and Insole:
All styles of the SeaRacer have a CMEVA polyurethane midsole for cushioning. CMEVA means it's a compression molded vinyl. The molded outsole does provide good heel support and stability as well. The SeaRacer series are comfortable shoes, but I would argue the comfort does not come from the midsole but the SON-R insole.
The SON-R technology from Sperry found in the SeaRacer has been adapted from their paddling line. Kayakers often have to traverse some obstacle laden and slippery terrain to find a good place to put in. Your feet send information to your brain about the topography, in turn your brain balances and adjust accordingly. Not having any feel underfoot in slippery conditions is a quick way to end up swimming. Enter the Metatarsal Pods found on the SON-R insole. Sperry uses the phrase "Seeing with your feet" to describe the way the pods work. Why is this important to sailors? You essentially have a better feel on what parts of the shoe are actively gripping the deck. There are tones of angles found on the deck some are wet others are nearly dry all the time. Being able to quickly relay what parts of the shoe are engaged with the non-skid will help to maintain balance and help promote your mobility. The pods are also very cushiony and provide a nice bed for bare feet.
Sperry bills this outsole as their "Stickiest Yet". The outsole itself is built from Hydro-Grip which is Sperry's own proprietary sole rubber compound is designed to promote traction in wet conditions and is non marking. The sole is cut with a Adaptive Wave Siping tread, like your car tire the scoring into the surface is laid out move the water away from the contact area. It isn't the most flexible sole that we carry but the shape and bend were designed to promote maximum contact with the deck surface, again for traction.
First Look:
After studying the new features and trying SeaRacers on for myself, I believe Sperry has done a good job here. The SeaRacer series incorporates a lightweight frame with very grippy tread and comfort/balance technology. Sperry's move to become the title sponsor of the US Sailing Team should help them to grow and advance on the technology they have already developed this year. A few APS employees have picked up pairs recently so look forward to a full review in the future.
Absolutely need a pair now? Great! Here's some handy links to help you out.

Learn to Love: Running and Biking in the Wind
Riding my bike into a strong headwind used to make me irritable, but lately I have learned to love it. Nature is providing me with an extra challenge for free. Talk about seeing the glass half full!
Running or biking into the wind provides resistance, thereby forcing you to work harder. It's like adding some resistance training into your run, similar to using a parachute strapped to your waist. I've seen Tyra Banks do it, so I know it can be done. On a windy day, you don't need extra equipment, and you get some resistance for free.
It is important to train in all types of conditions, so come race day, you are prepared for all types of weather. Especially windy days are one such adverse condition. When I am running into the wind, I focus on how fast I will feel on my next run on a windless day. So don't let a blustery day keep you indoors running on a treadmill. Embrace the elements and the chance to challenge yourself.

Though based on the true story of the debating team at Texas' Wiley College in the 1930s, the film directed and starred by Denzel Washington was said to be full of historical inaccuracies.
Denzel Washington's based on true story film, "The Great Debaters" has been harshly criticized for its blunders. Talks of the blunders surfaced after the college students the film are based on claimed that the film is full of historical inaccuracies, especially about Harvard's participation.
In the inspirational drama starred by Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker among others, it was told that Melvin Tolson, a debate coach, took a group of underdog students from a small, modest black college in the segregated South in East Texas to challenge and win over the reigning debate champions Harvard University in the national championship.
Reportedly, though the film that is directed and starred by Washington and produced by Oprah Winfrey is based on the true story of the debating team at Texas' Wiley College in the 1930s and the team did beat the reigning champion, the actual champion at the time was not the team from Harvard. In fact, Harvard's participation is fictional. The Wiley team actually beat out the student debaters from the University of Southern California.
To Page Six, a knowledgeable source commented, "The Wiley team never wrote to Harvard, never debated Harvard, never beat Harvard." The source then noted, "And no Harvard administrator would have ever referred to the university as an all-white college since it had long been integrated."
To make matter worse, if seen from the history point of view, the Wiley team couldn't even have called themselves victors as they did in the movie because before World War II, blacks at the actual time were not truly considered part of college debating circles. However, to defend for the alterations he made, Washington explained his ground to the Harvard Crimson student newspaper stating, "We set the debate here because Harvard is the gold standard. Harvard just sounded better, to be quite honest."

By Rachael Ashak Porter
Issue 133, November/December 2005
"Our culture defines masculinity in many ways, but primarily it prevents boys from expressing their feelings, becoming emotional, or maintaining an authentic self," states Cheryl Ann Pollock, BA, director of training and educational programs at the Ophelia Project–Tampa Bay. "The self," Pollock explains, "gets lost when boys are controlled by a culture that tells them how to think, act, look, and choose friends. Although they face the same daily drama as girls, they are expected to toughen up and stick it out without being emotionally affected."
Daniel J. Kindlon, PhD, coauthor of the best-selling Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys, believes girls' premature rush into adolescence puts pressure on young boys to be "men" and, furthermore, "to have sex earlier and engage in other more adultlike behavior before they are emotionally ready." However, Dr. Kindlon, who has been a Harvard University faculty member since 1985, doubts the new term tween will have a dramatic effect on boys themselves, though he does feel it may accelerate their development a bit, at least in the eyes of adults.
"The main difference at this age is that girls are more advanced physically, socially, and certainly sexually," says Dr. Kindlon. "Thus they are more ready for a new wave of marketed products (makeup, sexy clothes) than boys are. The changes that occur at puberty are more significant for girls than boys."
What can parents do to help their growing boys? Dr. Kindlon suggests that "mothers need to stay in sync with their changing sons, neither too intrusive nor too distant, depending on the cues they get. Fathers need to avoid too much criticism, they need to listen respectfully, and they need to be good role models of emotional maturity." Pollock believes our culture stresses to girls that feelings are important, and provides many creative opportunities for them to express and work through their emotions.
She explains how families can do the same for their sons: "Parents can start dialogues with specific questions about peer relationships, rather than the general 'How was your day?' " Moms and dads can ask specific questions, Pollock says, such as, What qualities do you look for in a friend? Do you emulate these qualities back? Have you ever had to lie to prove yourself? Are you part of a group? Does your group exclude others? Keeping an honest and respectful line of communication open with boys tells them that their feelings are important and validates the reality of their evolving world.
"We must begin by coaching our boys to recognize how ?the culture influences their behavior and teach them how to recognize and evaluate the messages they are receiving," explains Pollock. "Boys can maintain an authentic self independent of social pressures if they have the support from their families and friends."

DUBLIN -- Repenting for the crimes of priestly sex abuse does not mean that the Irish Catholic Church can return to business as usual, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin told abuse survivors during a Feb. 20 prayer service joined by an American cardinal.
However, seeking forgiveness can be an important step toward healing and overcoming the pain that survivors feel, he added as Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston listened during the "Liturgy of Lament and Repentance" at Dublin's Pro-Cathedral.
Both prelates offered apologies for the church's failure to respond to reports of abuse during the afternoon service attended by 1,000 survivors and their families and supporters.
Many in attendance were visibly moved when Martin and O'Malley washed the feet of eight survivors as a sign of humility.
"The Archdiocese of Dublin will never be the same again," Martin said. "It will always bear this wound within it. The Archdiocese of Dublin can never rest until the day in which the last victim has found his or her peace and he or she can rejoice in being fully the person that God in his plan wants them to be."
O'Malley was in Dublin conducting an apostolic visitation of the archdiocese in the wake of a scandal that found church leaders doing little to investigate abuse claims and working to keep abuse reports under wraps to protect the clergy involved and the church's reputation. Other prelates also visited various Irish dioceses and religious congregations as part of the visitation.
"On behalf of the Holy Father, I ask forgiveness for the sexual abuse of children perpetrated by priests and past failures of the church's hierarchy, here and in Rome, the failure to respond appropriately to the problem of sexual abuse," O'Malley told the congregation in his concluding remarks.
"Publicly atoning for the church's failures is an important element of asking the forgiveness of those who have been harmed by priests and bishops, whose actions -- and inactions -- gravely harmed the lives of children entrusted to their care," he said.
Planned principally by survivors, the service began with the two prelates lying prostrate in repentance before a silent congregation. A handful of protesters gathered outside insisting they could "neither forgive nor forget" the abuse.
Marie Collins, who was abused as a 12-year-old in 1960 and was one of the first survivors in the archdiocese to go public, told Catholic News Service that the ceremony was "to ask God's forgiveness for sins and crimes of sexual, physical, emotional and spiritual abuse perpetrated in the Catholic Church against the young."
"Conscious of ourselves as members of the body of Christ we collectively repent of these great evils," she said.
Martin paid tribute to the survivors who had the courage to raise their voices and not be silenced by the church.
"Some of you in your hurt and your disgust will have rejected the church that you had once loved, but paradoxically your rejection may have helped purify the church through challenging it to face the truth, to move out of denial, to recognize the evil that was done and the hurt that was caused," he said.
"I, as archbishop of Dublin and as Diarmuid Martin, stand here in this silence and I ask forgiveness of God and I ask for the first steps of forgiveness from all of the survivors of abuse," he said.
Excerpts from judicial reports that uncovered the extent of abuse suffered by children in church-run institutions and parishes were read aloud during the service. The pain still felt by many survivors was on display not only in the reflections of those involved in the ceremony but also when proceedings were interrupted on three separate occasions by survivors who wished to share their experiences and sense of betrayal.
Cardinal Desmond Connell, retired archbishop of Dublin who was heavily criticized in judicial reports for his handling of abuse cases, sat quietly at the back of cathedral and heard Archbishop Martin denounce the church's response to abuse as "a silence which is a failure of courage and truth."
O'Malley said that during his visit he discovered "there is a window of opportunity for the church here to respond to the crisis in a way that will build a holier church that strives to be more humble even as it grows stronger."
"While we have understandably heard much anger and learned of much suffering, we have also witnessed a sincere desire to strengthen and rebuild the church here. We have seen that there is a vast resource, a reservoir of faith and a genuine desire to work for reconciliation and renewal," he said.
Near the end of the service, a "candle of protection" was blessed and lit from the Easter Candle as a sign of hope for the future. It will remain "as a sign for all who worship" in the cathedral, Martin said.
Speaking to CNS after the service, the archbishop described the event as "very moving."
"You'd really want to have a hard heart not to be moved by the honesty and dignity of the survivors," he said.
O'Malley told CNS he hoped that his "presence would underline just how seriously the Holy Father is taking the need for healing and renewal in Ireland."

The headline should have read:
"Tom Sigfried fails to display any real understanding of statistics."
95% confidence interval means that you have a 1 in 20 chance of being wrong. If that isn't good enough for your purposes, then use a broader confidence interval, say 99.7% (3 sigmas). There's no mystery here.
A steroids test that misidentifies 5% of the time is a bad test. Don't use it. However, if I have a 19 out of 20 chance of winning a bet, I'll take it. If I lose, I'll do it again double or nothing. Then the odds are now .05 *.05 that I will lose, or .0025. Third times a charm! Double or nothing at .05*.05*.05=.000125, or .0125% chance I'm wrong; about one chance in a thousand that I will lose three times in a row. I'll take those odds any time.
Now, if I had a only 95% chance of making it home in my car tonight (5% chance of a fatal accident) I would probably consider postponing the trip to a more favorable time. :-) It all depends on your needs.

When Barbour claims "we have people" who pick up prescriptions in Mississippi in a BMW -- as if this is somehow common -- he's lying. Indeed, when Kessler asked the governor's office to bolster the anecdote, they blew off two days of inquiries.
But I suspect Barbour doesn't much care. The point of a quote like that one isn't to draw attention to a legitimate policy concern; it's to appeal to right-wing voters on an emotional level.

The star witness in One Nation founder
In the latest twist to an increasingly bizarre case, the man identifying himself as Michael Rattner who "leaked" two emails to Ms Hanson revealed he was Sydney schoolteacher Sean Castle.
The emails alleged that "dodgy electoral staff" had left 1200 of Ms Hanson's votes uncounted.
Mr Castle, a married father of three from Glendenning in western Sydney, appeared in court on Friday. A warrant for his arrest had been issued by the Court of Disputed Returns when he failed to appear to give evidence on Wednesday.
He told judge Peter McClellan he was sincerely sorry for failing to appear and pledged to attend all future hearings.
Mr Castle's lawyer said his client also agreed not to take "deliberate steps" to dispose of or change any documents created on his computer under his alias.
Outside the court, Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham, one of two upper house MPs who stood to lose his seat if Ms Hanson's court challenge was successful, said it was "obvious Pauline Hanson's case had completely collapsed".
He said the man "may well stand by that email but it's looking more and more likely it's a fraud".
Justice McClellan suggested in court on Wednesday that the witness then known as Mr Rattner could be found guilty of fraud – a crime which could carry a jail sentence – if the emails were fake.
Ms Hanson's solicitor, David Leamey, said on Friday "the email is real. Whether the contents of it are real is a different matter".
Mr Castle refused to comment on whether he had fabricated emails purporting to be from two NSW Electoral Commission employees.
After the election on March 26, Ms Hanson's campaign team was contacted by a Sean Castle, then posing as a Sydney tabloid reporter.
A fake colleague also contacted Mr Buckingham and the Electoral Commission after the poll.
Posing as Mr Rattner, Mr Castle said he was a construction worker who had received the emails from his girlfriend who worked at the commission.
He will give evidence on Tuesday.
