DMA Panel: The Age of Big Data
The Sound you Hear is Opportunity Knocking - Do You Know How to Take Advantage of It?
Big Data, never sleeps...Data is being generated 24/7 with mobile devices, sensors, the Internet, social media postings, e-comm platforms, POS systems, etc. Challenges exist to have a scalable infrastructure to manage both structured and unstructured data, internal and external sources, and to house and integrate all of this data in a logical fashion; but the real challenge lies in the ability to display, filter and develop meaningful insights to drive your business. Big Data is now deemed a critical key performance factor for competitive advantage and growth equally as important as brand equity. Hear a discussion about the scale of this challenge, the opportunity, how you should prepare yourself and your organization, and what you can do to jump into this with your eyes wide open, even while sleeping...

We love this rice
By Jools
from Oceanside, CA
Comments about DHC Germinated Brown Rice:
This is wonderful tasting with a almost nutty flavor and texture. We have tried other comparable brown germinated rice and really prefer this one over all the others for its taste and texture. I only wish the bag was easier to open and resealable. Once I open it I put it into a ziplock bag.

Bags don't weigh.
By Rice Purchaser
from Northeast Ohio
This rice is good. Not the best I have had; I have been trying a few different types of germinated brown rice, but I do enjoy DHC brand. What bothered me about this rice is the weight and volume of the bag. My three bags each weighed 2-3 ounces short, and were short of the 3 cup volume stated on the bag. Considering this rice is five times more expensive than regular brown rice, the least I would ask for is a full bag. Delicious and easy to cook otherwise. I bake mine in the oven, perfect every time :-)

Awesome Rice
By MLR
from WI
I have been eating brown rice for 40 years and this is the best I have ever tasted hands down. I use my rice cooker and it comes out perfect. Package would be better if it had a zip lock kind of closure on it.

Delicious and nutricious!
By M3
from Marco Island
Love this rice! I know brown rice is much better for you than white rice, but most just don't taste that great. Not so with this one. It has a delightful nutty flavor and great texture. I serve it to my husband and he doesn't even know he is eating brown rice. It is expensive for rice, but it's the best I've found out there.
Yum! And healthy to boot.
By msmiltown
from Milwaukee, WI
I can buy many varieties of rice at my local co-op, but have yet to find germinated varieties. I am a huge fan of this flavorful rice; the texture and flavor can not be beat. I can't wait to make this in my new Japanese rice cooker!
A nutty, chewy, delicious experience.
By Laura
from Chicago, IL
This rice has a great nutty flavor and a fun chewy texture. Goes well with anything and just as good alone.
just plain ESSENTIAL!!!
By Brown Rice Brahms
from Hallowell, ME
Grounds any non glutenous meal with the fullness that glutenous meals appear to give. It is very nutritious, burns evenly throughout the day, and fantastic in the digestive tract. Brown rice porridge in the morning is fantastic if you have IBS.

Thread: Your Next Truck?? No Way!
the color is not even close. I am sorry that you are a fan of Ohio state. Around here we flush twice because Columbus is pretty far away!! I really am not a fan of Michigan, I like MSU a little more. I do not dislike OSU, it is just that my wife is from Ohio and her family automatically assumes I like UofM so they constantly have something to say. The OSU stuff does not bother me. It is the frequency. Oh, and that dumb thing they do at every wedding to hang on sloopy is pretty annoying also. Lets say they decided to do the same thing with bacon, constantly talk about how superior it is, I MAY (longshot) stop liking bacon.

Noisy outside. Could not sleep
The hotel was clean, quiet and easy to find. The Top of the Mark everyone was kind, friendly and helpful.
I didn't care for the front desk staff member I worked with. I had her to check un and when I checked out. She was short to the point of rudeness. Also, I paid $20 for an upgrade to be on the higher floors of the hotel in a "deluxe room" to see the city. The description states the middle to upper levels of a hotel that has 18 floors. We were assigned by out no so friendly front desk person to the 8th floor.
close to everything
noisy air system in our room on 4th floor
While traveling in town for the National Association of Realtors, my associate and I stayed at the Mark Hopkins. We arrived after 9pm on Thursday, and upon arrival we were met by a bellgirl (Robin) who was extremely helpful recommending a 24hr dinner for to eat a late meal, and also grabbed our luggage, including my laptop leather bag and proceeded to take our belongings into our room 831. We never went up to our room, due to us wanting to eat dinner so we proceeded to take a cab to Loris dinner down the street. Jon at the front desk was helpful checking me in and assisting me with the internet and recognized my ihg membership status.
Upon getting back to our room, of course our personal belongings were assumed to be in our room and this was the case. I proceeded to unpack my clothes, suits, and other items in preparation for the next day, first day of the convention. I then unpacked my laptop (Google Chrome book). I immediately noticed the top right corner of the screen was cracked, resulting in the monitor not turning on and being visible to use. I then contacted the front desk; spoke with Jon at the front desk, and minutes later to the overnight manager Teegan. The following day, both my co-worker and I filled out a report and submitted to security for processing to the claim company that handles these types of issues. I am now back to work and home in Minnesota with a non-functioning laptop with a damaged screen. I look forward to a response back from either the Mark Hopkins management team and or the claims company.
hotel, rooms, old, dirty , noisy, old furniture, bathrooms are old, towels are small and dirty, hair in the bathroom
Very old, not clean , no hot water, depressing atmosphere , no lounge area besides at the lobby where not even a vestibule to stop the cold air coming in, I would not stay even if it was free
Amazing stay in the penthouse suite! Also really enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Top of the Mark our last morning there.
Very classy, best views in the city. Excellent bar at the Top of the Mark. Try the martinis.
Why do hotels still charge for internet? Up on top of Nob Hill. Be prepared to walk up hill a lot. t
We picked the hotel for its location.
The water pressure was less than satisfactory. Also, we had a late night and could not sleep in due to the fact there were not blinds or blackout shades. I would rather pay for internet access up front than have to sign in and pay every day...annoying. Asked for a high floor but should have asked for a room on the west to avoid the morning sun waking us up.
Was centrally located.
Bed was very comfortable. Great to have IPhone docking station for charging. Door staff were great and very friendly.
Charging for WiFi - in this day and age? I did complain and wasn't charged though. Bathroom was a little small and not particularly luxurious.
No coffee shop, no place to get early coffee or breakfast! The coffee in the room was awful!
Professional and friendly personnel, cleanliness, fitness center, location, service, view from the restaurant
Old design, poor noise insulation (could clearly follow my neighbor conversation from my room)
room service food very poor!
Room and location.
Clearing the plates was extremely slow and had to ask several times. When you are on a tight time schedule, this is very irritating.
Beautiful room, perfect beds, very quiet. Great design and atmosphere.
Internet not included in the price for this kind of hotels is poor.
Helpful staff especially check in. Room had a great view. Their restaurant "Top of the Mark" on 19th floor is world class with share meals and live music. Cable car directly outside. We were given a late check out - 2 p.m.
Decor was nice.
Getting a wake up call at 3 a.m in the morning when we didn't ask for one, not impressed. Breakfast was overly expensive for the choices.
Location Great for Shopping Good Fitness Centre Big rooms with good views of the city
Expensive Parking, although an alternative was available
charming old world feeling with everyday modern conveniences,,close to all of san francisco
having to leave

She has served as Editor & Curator at Rhizome, the inaugural curator at Zero1, and Associate Director at SF Camerawork, whose Journal she edited. In 2013 LINK Editions will publish a retrospective anthology of over a decade of her writings on contemporary art which have helped establish a vocabulary for the criticism of new media. Meanwhile, Marisa has also curated programs at the Guggenheim, New Museum, SFMOMA, White Columns, and Artists Space. She has served on Advisory Boards for Ars Electronica, Transmediale, ISEA, the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, Creative Capital, EYEBEAM, the Getty Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Kennedy Center, and the Tribeca Film Festival.
Marisa studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz, and Rhetoric & Film Studies at UC Berkeley. She has recently been a visiting artist at Yale, Oberlin, VCU, UC-Boulder's Brakhage Symposium, Penn State, Visiting Faculty at Bard College's Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, and Visiting Faculty at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Ox-Bow program.

She is currently Visiting Critic at Brown University.
Media Studies
This is the first installment of a monthly column by Rhizome's Contributing Editor Marisa Olson. "Media Studies" will explore timely issues within the broader field of technology. Each post will pay specific attention to the relationship between these subjects and artistic practice. For this column, Marisa provides a reading list on the topic of "Experimental Geography". In recent years, access to geographical tools and data collection has expanded rapidly, allowing many artists to rethink their relationship to the earth and geographical study. This column provides a summation of publications relevant to these developments.
Please join us tomorrow for a panel, organized by Marisa, on "Experimental Geography". Beginning at 3pm in the New Museum's theater, Creative Time curator Nato Thompson, who curated an exhibition of the same title for Independent Curators International, will lead a discussion with artists Lize Mogel and Damon Rich. - Ceci Moss
The following is an initial list of readings that might be of interest to anyone researching experimental geography. It includes key theoretical texts on the nature of space, texts on locative media, and works on radical cartography. Many of them cross over into game theory, cyberfeminism, relations between real and virtual spaces, surveillance, tactical media, psychogeography, situationism, sound art, networked cultures, site-specific installation art, and other related sub-themes. It's tempting to sort these into temporal or topical categories, but to do so might be to inappropriately compartmentalize an ongoing discourse that moves in new directions every day.
This is only a starting point. Please feel free to add texts in the comments. Links to related syllabi would also be a great resource!

Tactical Transactions
If you're not already familiar with UBERMORGEN.COM, now would be a good time to get acquainted. The duo formed by Hans Bernhard and Lizvlx came onto the tactical media scene in the days of Toywar. When the Bernhard-founded group etoy was taken-on by e-commerce retailer etoys.com, the artists successfully brought the company down, thus providing a keystone moment in the perpetual headbutt between artists and corporations and launching the press release as the tactical media artist's weapon par excellence. In the spirit of many a corporate breakup, the participants in Toywar went on to funnel their win into the launch of new brands and creative identities. Notable among them are the Yes Men and UBERMORGEN. Taking as their name a German word that refers to the perpetual hope of a better tomorrow, the focus of UBERMORGEN's projects has been centered largely around legal issues related to copyright and surveillance. These works include [V]ote-Auction (2000), in which they attempted to auction-off a US Presidential vote to the highest bidder, and the Rhizome-commissioned project Google Will Eat Itself (GWEI) (2006), and "autocannibalistic model" in which revenue from auto-placed Google ads was used to buy Google stock, with a business plan to turn ownership of Google over to its users. In collaboration with Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico, Lizvlx and Bernhard recently took on Amazon.com in a duel that pitted their "robot-perversion technology" against the company's proprietary book preview software. According to the artists, their copyright-busting book-downloading tool was eventually sold to Amazon for an "undisclosed sum," but the story of the face-off (entitled Amazon Noir, 2006) floats among the ranks of other tactical media mythologies--not unlike some of the projects by their frequent collaborators 0100101110101101.org--demonstrating that ...

Artists often loathe living in the shadow of their older, more famous works. But it is difficult to begin an article about John F. Simon, Jr. without paying homage to his 1997 project, Every Icon. The brilliant algorithmic piece exists on a 32x32 pixel grid, in which any element of the grid can be colored black or white. As it crunches through the billions of possible illuminative patterns, it will--at least theoretically--eventually display "every icon" possible. The work, itself, has become iconic. It's often the first work of art shown in lectures about internet art, and while the code behind the work speaks volumes about the speed of behind-the-scenes technological development, the resultant display is a testament to the poetic beauty and creative potential of a few simple lines and squares. This marriage of sublime potentiality and mathematical complexity has continued to be the cornerstone of Simon's work over the last ten years--as we might expect from an artist who managed to snag the URL numeral.com! Simon is now enjoying his first Italian solo exhibition, in the form of a ten-year retrospective at Collezione Maramotti (Reggio Emilia, IT), entitled "Outside In: Ten Years of Software Art." The exhibit presents work from 1999 to the present and the title might refer both to the show's ability to "zoom-in" on an artist's oeuvre or the way in which Simon's relationship to code and form has changed over the years. After making a professional leap from science to art, Simon's early works treated code like a specimen. Akin to a microscope whose focus is pulled back to reveal the larger sample, his work has progressed in a way that now ...
Permanent Junk For a Changing World
(Installation shot from Zero1 Biennial, San Jose Museum of Art, 2008) Courtesy of the artist
Let's face it: A lot of new media art is mystifying. Shih Chieh Huang's work is mesmerizing. Of course, his installations have much in common with other media art. They light-up and like to be exhibited in dark rooms, they often employ electronic circuitry and robotics, and they are dynamic rather than static--his works move, blink, and make noise. But it somehow seems just as appropriate to connect Huang to the vocabulary of kinetic art (where there have indeed been many media innovators) than to link him exclusively to interactive art. Typically, his work is only interactive insofar as it stimulates deep visceral and emotional responses, but then by that barometer we might as well acknowledge that all art is potentially interactive... In Huang's work, the subject of high technology is perhaps even more important than using high tech media. The artist is a big fan of dollar stores and recycle bins. He collects cheap toys, plastic water bottles, and small, often overlooked colorful trinkets to assemble into what often feel like synthetic life-forms. A series of neon zip ties become a prickly spine for a shrimp-like character, while glowing wire tendrils embody other sea creatures' tentacles. Throwing in a little colored water, some LEDs, and plastic bags that appear to breath (earth, wind, and fire, anyone?), Huang gives us a candy-coated reflection of the media ecology many of us fail to see. In his current solo exhibition, entitled, "Connected: Eject before disconnecting," at the RISD Museum of Art through June 21st, the artist invokes the kind of right-under-our-noses, generally unspoken yet totally commonplace messages associated with personal computing. By doing so, he connects the ...
Conference Report: NET.ART (SECOND EPOCH)
Last week I attended the NET.ART (SECOND EPOCH) conference in Buenos Aires, organized by Medialab-Prado. The subtitle, "The Evolution of Artistic Creation in the Net-system" speaks to the broad range of perspectives included at the conference and, indeed, the Madrid-based organization was able to draw participants from all over Latin America, including Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile to the week-long panel series, which was hosted by the Centro Cultural de España.
Most of the discussion at the conference centered around framing the history of net art, articulating its recent transitions, and assessing the current state of the field. There was a general agreement that while many critics declared net art dead after the fall of the dot-com economy, it in fact never went anywhere and is instead still thriving.
Minnesota-based curator Steve Dietz and Amsterdam-based critic Josephine Bosma presented keynote talks on the current state of the network and networked art. These talks were framed as "seminars," with each lecture followed by structured group debates. Dietz's talk was entitled "Beyond 'Beyond Interface': Art in the Age of Ubiquitous Networking." He proposed that we consider whether what we are seeing now as truly a second epoch of net art, or rather something more like art after networks. While his talk came before Bosma's closing lecture, the latter looked back farther in taking a different historical perspective. Bosma articulated five generations of networked artists, the first of which predated the public interest. Her paper was prefaced by a confession that critics always view work through the lens of the era in which they came upon the art scene, and that while she is considered an expert in the field, she now feels removed from the present generation of net artists who are no longer working within the "Net ...

Who's Line Are You In?
Santa Claus. "The big, fat man with the long, white beard," sings Michael Buble. You know, the jolly fellow that everyone makes sure gets their wishes.
He does seem like a nice fellow. A grandfatherly-type with a big smile. Who wouldn't want to stand in a line to see him? In fact, we do stand in line! Some very . . . long . . . lines. No waiting is too long.
Yet, when we look a little closer, something's not quite right. Santa's gifts are based on performance. What does he always ask the children?
"Were you a good little boy this year?"
"Yes, Santa, I was."
"Very good! What would you like to have for Christmas?"
What happens, then, when they aren't "good?" No gifts. Just some coal to put in the fire to keep them warm. Or at least, that's the legend.
You have to earn Santa's admiration before he will give you something. You can't just be.
What if there was another line? Not one for a jolly old man who will only give you something if you "deserve" it, but one for a person who doesn't care so much about how good you are.
He cares about you. He knows that no matter how hard we try to do the right thing, it always seems to fall short. And there's always a bit of disappointment.
Would he give us a gift? Yes. He would give us a gift that would not only be eternal life, but it would also free us from our own worst enemy: ourselves.
And there would be lots of love in the process. Lots of hugs and kisses and reassurances that we don't need to do anything to earn his approval.
Would you stand in a very . . . long . . . line to sit on his lap?
I know I would.

Many of us live with the after-effects of war, known as post-traumatic stress. Symptoms can include explosive anger, depression, and flashbacks.
Jivamukti Yoga®, developed by Sharon Gannon and David Life, offers the contemporary yogi a creative approach to living and being in the world today.
What gets in the way of your creativity? What holds you back, and whose life are you living, if not yours? How can you honor your empathic and sensitive side while protecting yourself from the challenging or shaming energy of others?
"The key to any and all creative endeavors is to first recognize the unique artist you already are," says Jeanne Carbonetti. "Through the looking glass of art, you will see the reflection of a beautiful self you may have never seen before."
Omega Institute and the Yoga Service Council are pleased to present the third annual Yoga Service Conference. The Yoga Service Council was formed at Omega in 2009 by a group of organizations bringing yoga to underserved populations.
The Getting the Love You Want workshop emphasizes conscious relationship through the development of new communication and awareness skills, and helps couples achieve wholeness and spiritual growth.
Many cultures believe we are in the midst of a transformation of consciousness unlike any humankind has experienced.
Are you looking for more love, romance, understanding, and success when it comes to men?

Rape lie ruins young man's life, false accuser gets no jail time
Woman who cried rape after sex in public toilet walks free from court
A 21-year-old woman who made a false accusation of rape in a bid to claim thousands of pounds in compensation escaped a jail term today.
Sarah-Jane Hilliard claimed Grant Bowers, 19, attacked her following a night out.
Just over a week after making the allegations in May last year, she contacted the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, hoping to be awarded up to £7,500.
A jury found her guilty of perverting the course of justice and she was today given a 12-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.
Sentencing her at Basildon Crown Court in Essex, Judge Christopher Mitchell said: 'The fact is that false allegations of rape have a terrible knock-on effect.
'When women who have actually been raped make complaints there is always the background of people like you who have made false allegations and that's why it's considered so serious.'
During the trial, the jury heard how Hilliard told police she met Mr Bowers at Liquid nightclub in Basildon on July 26, 2008.
She claimed he shared a taxi with her and a friend, before stopping at Basildon railway station so she could visit the toilet.
Hilliard told police she locked herself in a cubicle door and that the next thing she remembered was waking up with her underwear and trousers around her ankles.
She told officers that Mr Bowers had sent her a text message the next day saying they had 'gone all the way', and it was then she realised she had been raped.
Mr Bowers was arrested two days later at his father's house and taken to a police station, where he was held for four hours in a cell before being interviewed by detectives for a further two hours. He had DNA swabs taken, as well as fingerprints and mug shots.
The student, from Basildon, had to wait a week before police told him he wouldn't be charged.
During the trial, prosecutor Andrew Jackson read extracts from Mr Bower's victim impact statement, which said the teenager sat crying in police custody fearing he was going to prison.
He told the court: 'This incident has changed him. He speaks of his lack of confidence approaching young women, not trusting them and having trouble sleeping.
'He was physically sick through worry, constantly teary and feeling like he wanted to cry.'
Giving evidence during the trial, Mr Bowers told the court how he had met Hilliard at a nightclub and they the walked to the railway station.
He said once they reached the station toilets, she dragged him into a cubicle and had sex with him. She told Mr Bowers he 'better be there for the baby' if she fell pregnant.
But police were unable to find CCTV of the pair in Liquid nightclub, as Hilliard had claimed. Her friend told police she had lied and that they had actually been in the nearby Colors club.
Detectives then trawled through CCTV from that nightspot and found footage of Hilliard and Mr Bowers kissing and holding hands before leaving.
As soon as they saw the footage, officers contacted Mr Bowers and told him he would not be charged and instead they arrested Hilliard for perverting the course of justice.
A charge of wasting police time was dropped after she was found guilty of the more serious crime.
Jacqueline Carey, mitigating for Hilliard, said her client had since been assaulted by two men on her way to work, suffering scratches, and had the word 'bitch' scratched onto her car.
Miss Carey said she had also suffered 'extremely unpleasant' comments on Facebook following her conviction last August, saying: 'One wished Miss Hilliard had been raped then she would understand what rape victims went through.'
Describing her client as 'hard working', she added that she had a number of 'deeply personal issues'.
'Since her conviction, her relationship with her partner has ceased and a number of friends, due to the publicity, are no longer friends with her.'
Hilliard, from Basilson, was sentenced to 300 hours of community service and ordered to pay £2,000 in costs.
Judge Mitchell acknowledged that Hilliard had problems: 'I have come to the conclusion that the doctor is right in saying you ought not to go to prison.'
But he warned: 'This case is no precedent at all for future cases of women who make up false allegations of rape.
'You alleged that you had been raped and as a consequence of that allegation, a young man was arrested, held in custody for four hours, interviewed and subsequently bailed.
'But for six or seven days thereafter he had the concern, the worry, the fear that he was going to be charged with rape when he knew perfectly well that you had consented to the intercourse and that you, on his account, had frankly initiated it.'
Speaking outside court, Mr Bowers said he had been subjected to verbal abuse and had his house attacked as a result of the fake claims.
He said: 'The last 11 months have been horrendous. I've lost all my self-confidence and I can't speak to women any more.
'I don't know why she did it but her lies have ruined my life.'
His father, Tony Bowers, said he was 'dumbfounded' by the sentence and that his son had had to move out of Basildon.
He said: 'I'm disappointed because my son was facing up to ten years in prison for rape on the strength of her lies.
'She has been found guilty of making false allegations and the least I expected was for her to have been given a prison sentence.
'My son has lost his freedom as a result of this. He cannot come and visit his parents unless it's under the cover of darkness, he's lost his flat and we cannot even know where he is living for his own protection.
'He is the victim and he has lost his freedom yet she has still got hers.
'I think she's a very sad girl who needs help. She could have got the professional help she so desperately needs during a stretch behind bars.'
Detective Sergeant Steve Simmons from British Transport Police said: 'It is such a nasty, life-changing allegation against a young man.
'Rape is a heinous offence and perpetrators should be brought to justice with the full weight of the justice system.
'However false allegations of rape are equally heinous. It is not only devastating to the victim but severely damages the credibility of women who are genuine victims of sex offences.'

Hey if they proved in court that he is not guilty of the crime,but then people don't know this and still treat him as a rapist,even at work and other places.Then why can't the goverment give him a badge or something that proves that he is innocent,which can't be faked and can be fully checked if the badge device is legal so he can show to people to make them shut up and allow him to work at all places.Would certainly help false rape victims.

I don't think any amount of "he's innocent, he's innocent, he's innocent" from the government will do it. The system is what alllowed him to be destroyed in the first place, so people don't have faith in it.
I think the only thing that could help people like this young man is to have every male in the UK and America falsely accused of rape. Then, maybe then, it will become apparent that we shouldn't rush to judgment and assume an allegation means guilt. - Feb 15, 2010, 12:07:00 PM
Welcome to America run by the Gender / Raunch culture.
The state will have no other choice but to take over the economy, for the gender / Raunch culture are raising helpless, obese, and un-educated children who simply cannot carry the flag of liberty.
This would be silly, if it were not so truthfull!! - Feb 15, 2010, 12:33:00 PM

It's ironic that people have faith and will believe the system when it says "he's guilty" when accused and convicted by the system but not when they pronounce "he's innocent." And then we have a few prosecutors out there that want to keep innocent people in jail after DNA test prove their innocence. Doctors bury their mistakes; prosecutors imprison their mistakes and try to keep them there -- and then sometimes get to bury them, too.
I think you're right that it will take many more false accusations until people realize that we shouldn't rush to judgment or assume guilt based on an allegation, but as a falsely accused, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. If I could sacrifice my life knowing that no other males would ever have to go through being falsely accused ever again, I'd do it right now.
For those new to this blog or may have missed it, there are news people who have had to live through false accusations and had their minds changed about rushing to judgment:
Tucker Carlson
It's a good read, for those who haven't already, and he would be another person I would add to the "should be contacted by the FRS" list. I think he could get us some much needed media attention.
I wonder how Tucker Carlson feels about being falsely accused nearly ten years later, and if he feels that it has impacted his career. - Feb 15, 2010, 1:25:00 PM

Brilliant. Brilliant. - Feb 15, 2010, 1:30:00 PM
Archivist, what struck me hardest was the thought of this young man, in the prime of his masculinity, sitting in police custody crying out of fear.
I can't imagine anything much worse than this. I'd gladly take being raped over that sort of fear. Gladly. Any day of the week.
I wish every woman who has a son, every woman who has a boyfriend, or a husband or a father, would read the part about this young man being reduced to tears because of unspeakable fear that he was about to go to the hell of prison for something he didn't do.
It's about time you all realized we're human beings. - Feb 15, 2010, 1:36:00 PM
- Archivist said...
That's what got to me, too, Axel. So many of these cases -- perhaps most -- involve men who are barely more than boys. Sorry, in this day and age, a 19-year-old young man is as much boy as man. Hell, people live longer than ever, take longer to "find" themselves, and women mature faster anyway. So, I felt especially bad for this teen.
One day soon, I am going to do a piece on how to react when you've been falsely accused. There are some common mistakes young men make. Chief among them is the hesitation that, gee, maybe I DID do something wrong. First rule, never assume you did something wrong just because they say you did. They are looking for cracks in your story and in your resolve. If you've been falsely accused, you need to give the performance of a lifetime -- emphatic answers, nothing but the truth. But of course, don't say anything without a lawyer. - Feb 15, 2010, 1:45:00 PM
Look at the comments under the main story. Pretty much everyone agrees with us.
- Feb 15, 2010, 2:00:00 PM
Is it just me or is this stuff the most infuriating stuff you can possibly read about.
The injustice is so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously this woman deserves to be in prison for a long time.
It's as if men have no rights at all. - Feb 15, 2010, 2:01:00 PM
Anon at 2:01: the only thing that keeps me going in this work is that it infuriates me. This one was awful, and there are many, many like it, or worse.
- Feb 15, 2010, 2:06:00 PM
I know I'm a long time fan of this site but it still just sickens me that women get away with this.
I am VERY appreciative that you have put this site together it is VERY needed!
I have got to know false accusers in my own life...not of rape but of other things...and to me they are some of the lowest scum in this world.
So to see someone go and file a false rape claim and seriously hurt some guy and walk free is so upsetting. - Feb 15, 2010, 2:12:00 PM
"Then why can't the goverment give him a badge or something that proves that he is innocent"
Because people want to believe otherwise, and will not let mere truth get in the way of their desire.
Look at what happened in the 80's on college campuses. After one single horribly-biased survey a cat could see through, almost overnight, university administrations, typically run by people with PhD's from the best schools in the country, suddenly and unquestioningly believed, in spite of all other evidence, that one in four women were victims of rape.
Apparently, no one was able to notice this during the previous 5,000 years of written history. - Feb 15, 2010, 2:41:00 PM

What about vigilante justice?
anyone who would use the system to victimize someone should be subject to vigilante justice. - Feb 15, 2010, 2:41:00 PM
@ Axel
"I can't imagine anything much worse than this. I'd gladly take being raped over that sort of fear. Gladly. Any day of the week."
I am not a boy, I am a man, a well experienced man, I used to walk into ghettoes for fun, and because the beer was cheaper.
My story is still ongoing, (but Pierce has all the details) so I can't talk openly about it yet.
I will tell you for a fact, sitting in the cell after arrest if you had handed me a gun I would have shot myself, not out of fear, out of seppuku, for the shame of being arrested for such a crime.
I will tell you another fact, I'd rather be raped and buggered by a football team than go through the police "interview"***
I will tell you another fact, in the cell I was unable to read the graffiti scratched into the cell door and walls, even six letter words, my head wouldn't stay together long enough, and with this comes a total and utter loss of all sense of time, a minute, an hour, a month, all lose all meaning.
I will tell you another fact, within a few minutes of the interrogation starting, you realise that nobody gives a fuck what the truth is, you could be a rapist, or a falsely accused, nobody gives a fuck, all anyone gives a fuck about is making a case against you. Read this paragraph aloud ten more times, it is the most important thing I can tell you... I am sure genuine rape victims who see their rapist walk will agree with me.
I will tell you another fact, Pierce / Archivist, Grade A stand up folks doing a great job here, but they haven't walked in the shoes of the falsely accused... reminds me of an old biker tee shirt...
"As you are now, I once was.
As I am now (pray) you will never be."
I will tell you another fact, men wonder what they will do in adverse situations, when the bullets start flying will I run?
Some men get unlucky and then lucky, and find the answers
been there, done that, being maliciously and falsely accused of rape is worse, much, much, much worse, especially when it is those you thought closest to you who do it.
I thought I knew what "Machiavellian" meant, I didn't, I do now.
I'll tell you another fact, like that 1000 yard stare stuff, you put me and scott (just picking him as an example cos he says what he is on this site) in the same room and I don't care if we have nothing else in common, you'll see us recognise each other.
They call it an "Interview", it isn't, applying for a job slinging burgers is an interview, what the police do is an interrogation, just add waterboarding for gitmo. - Feb 15, 2010, 2:44:00 PM
From a previous thread:
"A part of this "Missinformation Alliance" is when men get arrested for domestic violence, when it is in fact the women who was the aggressor...So in effect, the law enforcement are in fact colluding with other gender feminist pork agencies to get all the federal VAWA dollars they can."
There is no collusion in that example as the police are merely obeying the law, as the VAWA requires states
"(1) To implement mandatory arrest or pro-arrest programs and policies in police departments, including mandatory arrest programs and policies for protection order violations (Part U, SEC. 2101)."
in order to receive federal funding. So it is due to "gender feminist pork", but the police have no more say in the matter than any other citizen who could vote.

Sorry, but I call bullshit.
Police enforce what laws they choose, when they choose, how they choose.
Just today a man was telling me a story about a friend of his who does car sales.
CCTV of the lot shows a compact car, out of control, skidding into the lot at very high speed.
Compact car totals 3 of the cars on display and damages 2 others, totaled were an E class merc, an S class merc and a Lexus.
Two guys crawl out of compact and stagger off.
45 minutes later CCTV shows a hire car turn up, clearly showing hire company and registration plate, two guys get out, limping, and start picking up stuff from the scene, load it into hire car, and bugger off.
police are called, and say they can do nothing.
guy says fine, and tell them he will contact the press and get them to ask what the fuck he is paying the police for
10:30 that night there is a knock on the guys door, senior cop in uniform, basically advising him very forcefully that he will regret it if he does contact the press.
guy says "fuck it" and sticks with an insurance claim.
Only good one is a dead one. - Feb 15, 2010, 3:16:00 PM

Most police feel at least some pressure to take rape claims seriously, which sometimes gets misinterpreted to mean "get tough on the presumed innocent." Thank goodness for The Innocence Project, which shines a light on harsh practices to exact confessions.
And I think a lot of this talk by cops saying "false accusations hurt real rape victims" stems from a sort of police frustration: "Hey, you want me to take rape claims seriously? Look what I have to put up with! See this?" - Feb 15, 2010, 3:39:00 PM
I agree with the above re police attitudes.
For the record, I *do* believe that false accusations have a negative impact on genuine rape victims, but I don't believe that the police believe that, I don't think the police give a shit one way or another, it is just a job, and as long as they can get a conviction to put on their records then that is enough to satisfy them.
A generation or two ago a *significant* proportion of the police force were ex-services, a generation before that they were old enough to have served in WW2.
nowadays the only ex servicemen I see in the police are doing the "I don't give a fuck" cushy wait-for-my-pension jobs like custody sergeants etc.
the rest of them look like they couldn't get into college because the art and equine aromatherapy courses were full, and slinging burgers seemed like hard work.
that and the few power freaks of course.

The little pig that falselly accussed me of raping her also got a chunk of ???victim funds??? that she never had to pay back. She never had to pay it back because the perverts down at the police station have been ???trained??? to "re-define what the meaning of is, is," in order to leave no trail of false rape accussations.
It's not the average beat cop that perverts justice, It's the higher ups that are perverting the law to enable these sick little pigs to collect money on their false rape accussations. - Feb 15, 2010, 4:05:00 PM
Yep AfOR, even though I am the spouse, if I had had a gun I would have ended it. The fear this has instilled in me will never go away. I fear everything and everyone. I trust no one.
In fact, after 8 months I think I would still put a gun to my head if I had one. It does not get easier.

Women say some rape victims should take blame - survey
The study found that women were less forgiving of the victim than men.
The survey also found more than one in 10 people were unsure whether they would report being raped to the police**, and 2% said they would definitely not do so.
Nearly nine in ten would report??
And one in five adults had been in a situation where they were made to have sex when they did not want to. This had happened to more women (23%) than men (20%).
Well marginally more anyway. - Feb 15, 2010, 5:24:00 PM
Judges have too much power.
What this guy did by letting her off is despicable. - Feb 15, 2010, 5:25:00 PM
- Archivist said...
Gwallan, I have not commented on that story yet, but what I find absurd is the shock over this finding: almost three quarters of the women surveyed who believed the victim sometimes should take responsibility said that if a victim got into bed with the assailant before an attack, they should accept some responsibility.
Now. What is this really saying? Here's what I think is going on here. The survey is trying to have people say something they really don't want to say. What the people who responded to the survey mean is this: if a woman gets in bed with a guy, then he's going to understand she wants sex. See, it's the same kind of affirmative assent as a woman saying "sure, let's do it." How can I make such an incredible leap? Because young adults of the opposite sex who get into bed with each other have sex. I know how incredible and wrong and oppressive that might sound to a hardened feminist who has no sexual attraction to men, but it is what the vast majority of young people have done since the beginning of time. But how dare the people taking the survey assume to know anything about gender relations without ever having taken a Womyn's Studies class!
You see, the people responding are simply using their common sense -- something mainstream feminism just doesn't have -- and they are declaring that these "victims" really aren't victims at all, even though that's obviously what the survey calls them. - Feb 15, 2010, 6:02:00 PM
- Snark said...
Attitudes towards rape are hardening because of the categorical dissolution of rape. It's the counter-effect of rape hysteria. Define practically everything as rape and ordinary people will resist the calls to take it so seriously. Practically everything being an egregious violation simply does not match up with people's experiences.
- Feb 15, 2010, 6:37:00 PM
Men are always opposed to false rape accusations -- when they're made against themselves or their friends! But the rest of the time they're 100% on the side of the nifongs.

As for this liar, she needs to do at least as much time as he would have gotten upon conviction, if not more. It is time to quit playing around with these whores.
- Feb 15, 2010, 7:46:00 PM
"Police enforce what laws they choose, when they choose, how they choose."
Police generally do, and should, have some discretion. However, in the U.S., due to changes in the law, when it comes to violence against women their hands are pretty much tied.
"And I think a lot of this talk by cops saying "false accusations hurt real rape victims" stems from a sort of police frustration: "Hey, you want me to take rape claims seriously? Look what I have to put up with! See this?""
And at the same time, no matter what they do, feminists will accuse them of ignoring victims.
I love how feminists tell women the police won't listen to them, while complaining how rape is unreported. - Feb 15, 2010, 8:13:00 PM

That would make rape a very well reported crime. Rather makes the "most rapes aren't reported" bit seem like the BS it is.
And one in five adults had been in a situation where they were made to have sex when they did not want to.
What was the actual survey question? While the author clearly intends us to infer that "made to have sex" equals "forcibly raped", I am certain that the respondents understood the question to mean "had sex when I didn't want to, out of duty or guilt". - Feb 15, 2010, 9:31:00 PM
Excellent insight, Randian.
- Feb 15, 2010, 9:59:00 PM
Archivist: Now I would have thought that 100% of the females in that questionaire, if they had any common sense and experience,would have known that getting into bed with a man was the same as consenting to sex. Why else would a woman get into bed with a man?
BTW, don't believe that that questionaire went unnoticed by the old feminists or that they didn't try to rebut it even if they had to dig up some old crone from 40 years ago to tell her "story" If you read the story carefully you can easily see that the purpose was to debunk the recent questionaire.

i there any way to come out? - Feb 16, 2010, 2:07:00 AM
So it is due to "gender feminist pork", but the police have no more say in the matter than any other citizen who could vote.
The old 'only following orders' defense.
Didn't stand up in Nuremberg, didn't help any of Milosevic's cronies, and one day in the not too far distant future, when this nightmare is a memory, it won't help a lot of today's police.
Most of them probably think they're immune to the future. I'll bet most of those Catholic priests who molested boys behind closed doors decades ago thought they were immune too.
What they forget is that those who would defend them retire, grow old and die. The new generation that takes their place has different ideas, and no sense of loyalty to old hands who are fast becoming liabilities. Former victims finally get some air-time in a rapidly changing world. Other victims start saying 'that happened to me too'.
And suddenly, with the old obstructions no longer in the way, names are named, inquiries are called for, arrests are made.
But I needn't go on. Any of today's police know the procedure well enough. - Feb 16, 2010, 2:41:00 AM
What I find amazing is that men have rarely taken vengeance on false rape accusers or females who have accused them of DV or abusing their own kids during divorces. Or on the judges or police that have ruined their lives to the point that they commit suicide. Apparently men really are the more peaceful and non violent sex and may only react when their life is in danger at the moment. An old soldier who was in WWII once told me that the army had done some studies on combat and found some very odd things. A lot of soldiers would actually fire over the heads of the enemy as is they were afraid of killing them or if they were running and charging a hill or something that 1/2 wouldn't even fire their weapons. It seems that a lot of soldiers will only kill in the heat of the moment out of fear of being killed.Yes, I know they trained them to be more efficient killers but it wasn't something that came natural to them. This is probably why we don't see judges, cops and false accusers killed by a man who has his life ruined.
And to the previous poster: you're right about the new generation looking at the past.As these old feminists (communists really) die out or fade away they'll be looked at like an old fossil we study from a million years ago. The past 20 years will be viewed as some sort of plague that effected people's brains and reason. Things are already changing and I predict that they will snowball very fast. Females are now getting prison sentences for false allegations, something that wasn't true even a couple of years ago. DNA has freed hundreds of men. There are hundreds of anto misandrist web site on the Net and a large group of men who have been persecuted over the past generation who are now radicalised. - Feb 16, 2010, 4:38:00 AM

Those men were not brought up in a pussy whipped culture. Even in the Law in the west there used to be something called "fighting words" where if someone said something that was grossly offensive to your character (like you were fucking your daughter or were a rapist etc) You could give them a good beating and either get off entirely or where the punishment was greatly mitigated. Aaron Burr killed Hamilton in a duel for a nasty remark he made made about Burr and his daughter. The history books never seem to mention what the duel was about but that was the reason.
- Feb 16, 2010, 10:25:00 AM
"The old 'only following orders' defense."
That is cute. Regardless, the point remains is that there is no "alliance" conspiracy. Which is not the same as agreeing with the law, but merely recognizing the actual cause of the problem. While any people believe that marijuana, gambling, prostitution, or other things should be legal, it's childish to blame the police for enforcing those laws where those things are illegal. It doesn't make the law right, but the police don't make the law. - Feb 16, 2010, 10:53:00 AM
". . . it's childish to blame the police for enforcing those laws where those things are illegal."
In the false rape world, police generally are the best protection innocent men have because they weed out most false rape claims before they get out of hand. The vast majority of false rape claims are disposed of without anyone on the outside ever learning about them -- often by lecturing the accuser and making clear that lying about rape is a serious matter, etc.
But Police are under pressure to take rape claims "seriously," and some misintrep that to mean treating the presumed innocent as if they were criminals. This is not to fault law enforcement as a whole, but clearly some cops are far better than others at dealing with these claims. - Feb 16, 2010, 11:01:00 AM
"This is not to fault law enforcement as a whole, but clearly some cops are far better than others at dealing with these claims."
This is true. Just like any other profession, including judges and lawyers, some are better than others. - Feb 16, 2010, 1:36:00 PM
"...it's childish to blame the police for enforcing those laws where those things are illegal."
All police officers have discretion about how they personally conduct themselves in alleged rape situations. The Hofstra survivors gave us a good idea that some of the police who handled them assumed they were guilty, and allowed that assumption to affect their behavior.
The average police officer sees all kinds of offender and crime every day. It's not his or her job to decide guilt and deal out justice - yet some find the energy to do just that. Perhaps you think they're justified. I think it shows a special kind of personality that will mistreat innocent people in their custody. I would prefer to think most police officers do their jobs in accordance with a good conscience, but there will always be some who take advantage of their power over others to indulge themselves in perverse pleasures.
From personal experience, I know of one such individual and have heard him boast of the part he took in the beatings of prisoners in police cells. I've subsequently seen him become embroiled in other situations that entered the public domain and severely damaged the local police reputation. Although acquitted in public, he had so compromised himself that he soon left the force. It is individuals like this, and the sheltering they enjoy from other police officers that is criminal. Every man accused of rape runs the very real danger of being exposed to someone like this wearing a uniform.
Not every Nazi was tried in Nuremberg either. It's the ones who demonstrated a certain relish for the anti-social that will inevitably be exposed.
Current practice regarding rape arrest and handling of detainees seems to be producing a large pool of victims all telling the same story, and this pool appears to be growing daily. What this will eventually lead to is obvious. - Feb 16, 2010, 2:00:00 PM
"The Hofstra survivors gave us a good idea that some of the police who handled them assumed they were guilty, and allowed that assumption to affect their behavior."
If you look at the media coverage, blog comments, etc., like most alleged rapes, most people assumed they were guilty. People who are police are not immune to the same psychological motives. However, there wasn't any conspiracy to hide the truth, or they would have destroyed the video.
"but there will always be some who take advantage of their power over others to indulge themselves in perverse pleasures."
That is true, but a minority of individual malefactors is not a "Missinformation Alliance". - Feb 17, 2010, 8:14:00 AM
"If you look at the media coverage, blog comments, etc., like most alleged rapes, most people assumed they were guilty. People who are police are not immune to the same psychological motives."
Police who handle prisoners, especially jailers, have a duty to be indifferent towards the guilt or innocence or their wards. Their job is to hold them in custody, and to do it professionally. Determination of guilt and appropriate punishment are the job of others.
The rest of us are free to make whatever conjecture we like on blogs and to yell our particular biases from the sidelines - from a legal perspective, it is simply irrelevant noise. But police and jailers who use their positions to abuse suspects are also abusing the trust put in them and using their power to further their own undisciplined attitudes. They are engaging in corruption. - Feb 17, 2010, 9:21:00 PM
Anonymous at 8:14:00 AM:
You wrote-However, there wasn't any conspiracy to hide the truth, or they would have destroyed the video.
That's because they didn't have the video. The boy who took it gave it to their lawyer and I'm sure that copies were made before he showed it to the DA just in case it got "lost" - Feb 18, 2010, 7:16:00 AM
"But police and jailers who use their positions to abuse suspects are also abusing the trust put in them and using their power to further their own undisciplined attitudes. They are engaging in corruption."
Again, a few bad apples does not constitute a conspiracy, or collusion with feminists, or even that their individual motives are in any way political. - Feb 18, 2010, 8:11:00 AM
"What about vigilante justice?
anyone who would use the system to victimize someone should be subject to vigilante justice."
It looks like some of that has occurred:
"Jacqueline Carey, mitigating for Hilliard, said her client had since been assaulted by two men on her way to work, suffering scratches, and had the word 'bitch' scratched onto her car.
Miss Carey said she had also suffered 'extremely unpleasant' comments on Facebook following her conviction last August, saying: 'One wished Miss Hilliard had been raped then she would understand what rape victims went through.'
'Since her conviction, her relationship with her partner has ceased and a number of friends, due to the publicity, are no longer friends with her.'"
I also thought I'd mention that other articles said that the false accuser is bisexual.
Anyway, the way to end false rape and sexual assault allegations is to repeal the laws that they relate to. The effects of rape and sexual assault are probably no worse than other forms of abuse and certainly don't merit the hysteria surrounding them. It is also just men who are usually accused and convicted of these things even though women carry them out too. - Feb 18, 2010, 6:54:00 PM
"The effects of rape and sexual assault are probably no worse than other forms of abuse and certainly don't merit the hysteria surrounding them."
The power of rape as an instrument to advance women's interests rests on separation of it from any other crime.
The feminist knows how very effective it is for people to immediately assume an emotional position with respect to rape, thereby bypassing all reasoning and further discussion. The technique is simple enough - all it relies on is the tendency for most people to imitate the behavior of those around them. To elevate rape into this 'crime like no other' position, all that's required is to produce an hysterical and intensely emotional response whenever the subject is raised. This instills in all who witness it an association between rape and extreme horror.
For my money, I'd rather be raped than have my brain damaged by a baseball-bat beating, yet the latter outcome would not trigger the kind of response that a rape does - simply because none of us has ever been subjected to a assault-causing-brain-damage/hysterical-emotionally-intense-reaction association.
Yet head injury assaults are common enough, and people's lives are severely affected by them - not just the victim either, but those who must look after them.
And so we casually accept truly horrendous assaults, but state governments hand out large sums for rape centers, compensation for rape victims and suspends usual evidentiary standards to convict alleged offenders - even if the alleged rape turns out to have never occurred. - Feb 18, 2010, 9:56:00 PM
- Michael Ejercito said...

On the contrary, the psychological and emotional trauma caused by rape has been documented since antiquity. - Feb 19, 2010, 10:03:00 AM

COHN: Superman suits up for 49ers
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 8:25 a.m.
SAN FRANCISCO — Excuse me, but I was laboring under a misapprehension. I thought Superman was make-believe, a character from comic books, TV shows and the movies.
That was before I saw Colin Kaepernick play Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers, who, I'm sure, never saw anything like him. It's true that Superman in the comics has blue hair and wears those funny pajamas, but aside from that small difference Kaepernick is a real-life Superman. He can leap tall buildings in a single bound and he sure can play quarterback.
He was the best athlete on the field Saturday night in the 49ers' 45-31 whipping of the Packers. He also was the most exciting athlete on the field, Aaron Rodgers included.
If you want to know the truth, Kaepernick took over the game single-handedly, although the word single-handedly is not quite correct. He certainly used his right hand, but he also used his feet. He broke the record for rushing by a quarterback in a single game, playoff or otherwise, ending up with 181, which is, well, superhuman. You certainly should call this game the Colin Kaepernick game just for sheer bulk. He accounted for 444 yards.
He may be the best athlete ever to play quarterback. He is unique in ways that Joe Montana and Steve Young weren't. Not better, just unique — although he may turn out to be better.
Here's an example of what he did. In the third quarter with the game tied at 24 and the Niners at their own 44-yard line, Kaepernick took the snap and faked a handoff. Then he ran right out of the crowd. Such running. He lifted his knees high, and his stride was long and he ran away from the defenders as if they were mortal and he was a superior species.
I could tell you more wonderful things he did — things with that golden right arm. But I'd like to introduce a wrinkle. Kaepernick is, after all, inexperienced and sometimes he makes mistakes. Bear with me while I list a few mistakes he made while murdering the Packers.
In the very first drive, he threw a pick-six crummy pass. And just like that the Niners were down 7-0 and you might have thought the moment was too big for Kaepernick — wait till next year, kid.
But the 49ers got the ball and he led an 80-yard TD drive which included, among other wonders, a 45-yard pass to Frank Gore, a little pop fly he lofted over a frantic Charles Woodson. Which means Kaepernick has touch. Of course, he ended the drive by running 20 yards for a TD.
In the second quarter, he made a horrible mistake. He gained 15 yards on a keeper, but after the play he taunted Green Bay players and lost the 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. So the net gain was zilch. Bad Colin. Two plays later, he hit Michael Crabtree for a touchdown. Good Colin.
And he had the usual trouble minding the clock and didn't get some plays in fast enough. We've seen that before, not that it mattered in the end.
So, we can draw the obvious conclusion that Good Colin played so well he was able to overcome Bad Colin. Only Superman could do that.
I'll tell you something else. Kaepernick took over the game like Alex Smith never could. I am not anti-Smith and, yes, Smith played great in last year's playoff against the Saints. It's just that Smith is not Superman. And Jim Harbaugh, whose mind works in mysterious ways, saw the extraterrestrial in Kaepernick and made the quarterback switch even though some common mortals bellyached about it.
Harbaugh saw how Kaepernick runs and throws and reads defenses. And he knew Kaepernick was something special and he'd be nuts not to grab onto Kaepernick and ride him right into the playoffs.
After the game, the 49ers players were happy to talk about Kaepernick. Patrick Willis had this to say: "You see a quarterback run the way he runs, it's unbelievable. You see it in a game, it amazes me."
Call that your standard praise quote. Now we move over to Ricky Jean Francois, the poet laureate of the Niners. I asked Jean Francois how Kaepernick is like Superman. I knew Jean Francois would be all over that.
"He does it all," Jean Francois said, warming to the subject. "He can run the ball. He can throw it. He can jump. He can fly. On one play, he did fly. Plus, he got the weapons around him. He got Batman. He got Robin. It's like the Avengers. He got everyone with him."
Me: "Who's Batman and who's Robin?"
Jean Francois: "I don't know what to say. He's got so many weapons. Who you call Robin?"
Me: "Crabtree."
Jean Francois: "Who's Batman?"
Me: "Gore."
Jean Francois: "What about Vernon Davis? What about Randy Moss. What about Delanie Walker? Look, if you got Spiderman, he might be Randy or Vernon. It's hard to say. Colin's Superman, but the rest are just the Avengers.
Thanks to Ricky Jean Francois for putting the 49ers's superheroes into the proper perspective. An inside source on the 49ers told me Harbaugh sweeps the facility for Kryptonite every Monday. He can't afford to take chances where Superman is concerned.

Nintendo Power ends with December issue
Nintendo Power's last issue will arrive in mail boxes in December, Nintendo has announced. It was revealed yesterday the magazine would no longer be circulated, and while reports suggest Future US is hoping a digital-only version can be produced instead, Nintendo hasn't commented on whether that will be the case or not. Unless the firm changes it's mind, look for the final issue to hit stands and your postal box later this year. Thanks, Nintendo Life.

Ubisoft officially announces Rabbids Go Home
Ubisoft has announced Rabbids Go Home. As the name suggests, players will be charged with returning the Rabbids to their alien home.
Slated for a holiday release, the game runs on a new engine specifically designed for Wii.
More information is expected in the May issue of Nintendo Power.
Read on for the press release.

Sonic & The Black Knight coming soon to a Wii near you?
Well, you can't knock Sega for being predictable, at any rate. A thread on NeoGAF is touting a scan of Nintendo Power's September issue, which features Sonic front and center, clad in a jeweled gauntlet and hefting a sizeable blade. The cover proclaims the game's title "Sonic & The Black Knight."
Aside from the fact that the cover looks pretty legit, this "announcement" was hinted in the last issue of NP, so we're fairly sure this isn't just a mean prank.
That does not, however, mean we hope it isn't.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 confirmed
The latest issue of Nintendo Power has word that a full sequel to the DS version of Trauma Center – Under the Knife – will be released in the US this summer. Apparently it's going to pick up where the original left off and not have anything to do with the Wii version, and will include "improved funtionality" for Dr Stiles' medical hardware. Sounds like an "easy" option's going to be included as well.
No details on a European version yet.

About Us
At Paperblanks® we have been producing superb writing journals for over twenty years. We are book people, and we believe that the written word matters and that our blank books have a critical role to play in the art and continued practice of writing itself. We are also committed to being responsible global citizens; by utilizing acid-free, sustainable forest paper and 100% recycled binder boards, and by striving for carbon neutrality, we advocate social and environmental responsibility, and support organisations that do the same. Our environmental stewardship goes hand in hand with our critical standards. We take painstaking care with every detail of the process, from the individual book components to the well-being of the craftspeople who put them together.
Conscientious bookmaking, innovative design and careful handiwork all go into the production of Paperblanks®: quality writing journals that we can all feel good about using and owning. Whether being used to record thoughts, ideas, stories, poems or another craft, our journals' perfect marriage of imagination and art always inspires a unique writing experience.
