Disputes over the death toll of a fire in Tianjin has escalated the fight between Chinese state media censorship and the openness of social media. ...
Yul Kwon:
The war of words between people from Hong Kong and mainland China is escalating on social media sites. A few weeks ago, we told you about how an argument on Hong Kong's subway led to a Peking University professor calling Hong Kong people "SOB's" and "dogs." Well, in response, a group of Hong Kong people bought a full-page ad in a major newspaper, the Apple Daily, calling mainlanders "locusts." With Hong Kong's skyline in the background, the ad demanded that authorities "stop the invasion." Then, a group of young Hong Kong people took to the streets to serenade mainland tourists with the song "Locust World."
On a popular mainland site, NetEase, users fired back:
"Because we understand you got rich first, we've tolerated you coming to the mainland to invest, having us work like animals for you, and letting you curse us as 'northerners.' Hong Kongers, if you didn't have us, you guys would be nothing!"
But other posts pleaded for tolerance:
"The problem can only be solved if both sides work together. Yelling at each other only shows that people have different positions. Why waste time like this?!"
Then things took a funny twist. Some mainlanders spoofed the original Hong Kong ad. This one attacks migrant workers:
"Beijingers have had enough! Beijing has already accommodated 20 million migrants. Beijing has already accepted 478,000 children that came along. Stop the endless influx of migrants into Beijing!"
And this one came from China's biggest city, Shanghai:
"Do you want to spend four billion yuan every year subsidizing the migrant population?"
The not-surprising answer: "Shanghainese have had enough!"
The parody went on to list complaints:
"We have to put up with you ruining our culture; we have to put up with the accusations by your fellow villagers; we have to put up with the uncivilized behavior of your fellow villagers."
And then it all starts to sound like the original ad written in Hong Kong about mainlanders.

Contents: | Human experts can make judgments and decisions based on uncertain, and often even conflicting, information. A knowledge-based system that is required to perform at least at a similar level of expertise, should be able to cope with this type of information. For this reason, formalisms for representing uncertainty and algorithms for manipulating uncertain information are important research subjects within the field of Artificial Intelligence. Probability theory is one of the oldest theories dealing with the concept of uncertainty; it is therefore no surprise that the applicability of this mathematical theory as a model for reasoning under uncertainty plays an important role. In this course, we will consider probabilistic models for manipulating uncertain information in knowledge-based systems. More specifically, we will consider the theory underlying the framework of probabilistic networks, and discuss the construction of such networks for real-life applications. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Description: | In this course, we will consider the theory and applicability of probabilistic networks. The course roughly consists of three parts. As an introduction to probabilistic networks, the first part of the course deals with independence relations and their graphical represenation by means of undirected and directed graphs. The second part introduces the probabilistic network as a compact representation of a probability distribution on a set of statistical variables; in addition, the Pearl algorithm for computing probabilities from a probabilistic network is discussed. The algorithm allows for calculating the probability of any value of an arbitrary variable in the network, with or without incorporating observations for one or more variables. The third part of this course concerns the construction of probabilistic networks for real-life applications. Topics covered include both automated construction of networks from data, and handcrafting the network with the help of domain experts. |

The man charged with murder in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis on Friday was booked into the Duval County jail Tuesday.
Michael David Dunn, 45, was located after witnesses gave police the tag number from a Volkswagen sedan that left the scene on Southside Boulevard after the shooting.
He was picked from a photo lineup police showed to three others who were in the sport-utility vehicle with Davis, according to Dunn's booking report.
He was booked on murder and attempted murder charges.
The report said witnesses saw a middle-aged man firing at the Dodge Durango and then leave the scene. The report did not say if the shooter was inside or outside the car when the incident took place.
Several witnesses at the Gate station where the shooting took place gave similar descriptions.
Davis and friends had been returning from a shopping mall when the shooting occurred. Police said the altercation started in a dispute over loud music the youths were playing.
Dunn, of Satellite Beach, and his girlfriend attended his son's wedding in Jacksonville. He was arrested Sunday by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office on a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office warrant.

Category Archives: White wing doves
Bigger Isn't Always Easy!
You have seen photos of the beautiful white wing dove (previous post).
The white wing can look like a bit of a clown, however, when competing with a sparrow and house finch for food from a tube feeder!
This does give you a good view of the white wing in its entirety, though.
White Wing Dove
Most of the gardeners I know in the high desert enjoy a variety of birds. Many put out food and water for the birds, and I am one who does. I think of summer as hummingbirds and roses, and winter as junkos.
But, even in the city, there are many different birds. When I first moved to this house, I had a lot of mourning doves. I had never seen a white wing dove until I moved to Albuquerque, and I lived here for several years before being aware of them. White wing doves have a more limited distribution in the United States than do mourning doves, but where the white wings occur, they are abundant. At my house, they nest in a large pine, close to a feeding station, and it is not unusual to see nine at a time on the block wall waiting to be fed. They share the feeder with finches and smaller birds, but the mourning doves are chased off until the white wings have had their fill.
In flight, you see a lot of white. But at rest, only a slim line of white is seen along the wing. The eyes are really red, as are the legs and feet. I love the blue eye patch, and the dark line underneath the eye.
Their call has been described as "who-cooks-for-you?" Personally, I think it is much lovelier than that
They actually are hunted in Texas and in Arizona.

an attempt to better
understand the
life cycle of mitochondria in neurons, we generated fruit flies
(Drosophila Melanogaster) that could
not make mitochondrial DNA. We then monitored kinesin and dynein based
movement in vivo in Drosophila larvae. Since mitochondrial DNA is
necessary for mitochondrial ATP production, we hypothesized that
mitochondrial trafficking would be severely disrupted. Thus, we were
surprised to find that kinesin and dynein mediated mitochondrial
transport in neurons doubled. We suggest this occurs as part of an SOS
response that activates both mitochondrial
biogenesis and transport in response to low ATP levels. While these
findings were unexpected, they are intuitive in that they suggest cells
mitochondrial ATP production and when it is low respond by increasing
the production and transport of new mitochondria. + * O'Toole,

As health costs in major Western markets soar, patients are looking abroad to have their medical needs met, and Turkey is looking to be a key provider in the international medical services field. The concept of medical tourism has been a popular one for over a decade, though has only recently received industry support in Turkey, despite the growing importance of the sector. In 2010, Turkey earned an estimated $850 million from health tourism, including surgical procedure, accommodation, and other costs, according to the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEİK).
TurkStat estimated that some 103,400 foreign patients came to Turkey for medical procedures in 2003, spending some $91 million on treatments alone, while the same figures for 2009 were at 132,680 and $225 million, respectively, showing significant growth. The difference between spending on medical treatment alone and on patient accommodation costs while "on holiday" are where the real value-adding lies.
A typical health tourist tends to do more than just arrive and have a procedure performed—preferring to stay for a few weeks to take in the sights, recuperate, and spend money in the local economy. Equally, such higher-value patients can help the bottom lines of the private hospital groups in Turkey, as well as encourage the establishment of a more sophisticated medical sector, which will improve healthcare standards for the public as a whole. The foreign patient wins as well, receiving world-class care at a fraction of the price at home, especially for elective procedures and cosmetic surgery.
A new industry body, the Health Tourism Business Council (SAİK), formed under the auspices of DEİK, was set up in 2010 to help better coordinate growth in the sector. SAİK's main goal, according to DEİK's chairman, Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, is to help increase the number of foreign patients coming to Turkey to 500,000 by 2020, and earn the country a potential $20 billion in revenue. The main markets targeted so far include the US, Western Europe, the Middle East, and the Gulf, with the latter seen as particularly promising considering its geographic proximity, rapid population growth, and high average income levels.

Social science researchWolf, K. L. 2008. Community Context and Strip Mall Retail: Public Response to the Roadside Landscape, Paper 08-0842. Proceedings of the 87th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (January 13-17, 2008). Washington D.C.: Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Science. Abstract: Strip malls (aka mini-malls) are a common land use, historically promoted by U.S. zoning
practices that concentrate retail and commercial development in a narrow band along urban
arterials and major streets. Mini-malls are an entry-level retail niche offering opportunity for
independent, start-up businesses that serve a limited market range. More recently, communities
have begun to call into the question land uses that enable efficient ingress and egress of vehicles
in retail and commercial districts, but gave little attention to multi-modal motility. Some
communities are redeveloping small mall zones based on "complete street" principles, expanding
landscape plantings, and redeveloping the character of a business district. The study assessed
public response to one element of small mall (re)development – landscape and vegetation Link to full text publication (PDF, no subscription required) Taylor, A.B., F.E. Kuo and W.C. Sutton. 2001. "Coping With ADD: The Surprising Connection to Green Play Settings". Environment and Behavior, Vol. 33, No. 1. pp. 5-77 Abstract: Attention Restoration Theory suggests that contact with nature supports attentional functioning, and a number of studies have found contact with everyday nature to be related to attention in adults. Is contact with everyday nature also related to the attentional functioning of children? This question was addressed through a study focusing on children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). This study examined the relationship between children's nature exposure through leisure activities and their attentional functioning using both within- and between-subjects comparisons. Parents were surveyed regarding their child's attentional functioning after activities in several settings. Results indicate that children function better than usual after activities in green settings and that the "greener" a child's play area, the less severe his or her attention deficit symptoms. Thus, contact with nature may support attentional functioning in a population of children who desperately need attentional support.

Environment and Behavior, Vol. 33, No. 1. pp. 5-34. Abstract: Considerable evidence suggests that exposure to "green" environments can enhance human effectiveness and make life's demands seem manageable. Does this phenomenon extend to poor inner cities, where green space is minimal and life's demands may be overwhelming? In 145 urban public housing residents randomly assigned to buildings with and without nearby nature, attentional functioning and effectiveness in managing major life issues were compared. Residents living in buildings without nearby trees and grass reported more procrastination in facing their major issues and assessed their issues as more severe, less soluble, and more longstanding than did their counterparts living in greener surroundings. Mediation tests and extensive tests for possible confounds supported the attention restoration hypothesis— that green space enhances residents' effectiveness by reducing mental fatigue. These findings suggest that urban public housing environments could be configured to enhance residents' psychological resources for coping with poverty.

American Journal of Community Psychology, Vol. 26, No. 6. pp. 823-851. Abstract: Research suggests that the formation of neighborhood social ties (NSTs) may substantially depend on the informal social contact which occurs in neighborhood common spaces, and that in inner-city neighborhoods where common spaces are often barren no-man's lands, the presence of trees and grass supports common space use and informal social contact among neighbors. We found that for 145 urban public housing residents randomly assigned to 18 architecturally identical buildings, levels of vegetation in common spaces predict both use of common spaces and NSTs; further, use of common spaces mediated the relationship between vegetation and NSTS. In addition, vegetation and NSTs were significantly related to residents' senses of safety and adjustment. These findings suggest that the use and characteristics of common spaces may play a vital role in the natural growth of community, and that improving common spaces may be an especially productive focus for community organizing efforts in inner-city neighborhoods.

Measures of preference, perception and economic willingness-to-pay were used again. Research methods included interviews and mail-out surveys. Survey respondents prefer having large trees in retail streetscapes. Trees are also associated with reported increases in patronage behavior (such as travel distance and visit frequency), and willingness to pay more for products (up to 9%). Few differences in response were detected between small city residents and potential visitors who reside in nearby large cities.
Grove, J.M., A.R. Troy, J.P.M. O'Neil-Dunne, W.R. Burch Jr., M.L. Cadenasso and S.T.A. Pickett. 2006. "Characterization of Households and its Implications for the Vegetation of Urban Ecosystems". Ecosystems, Vol. 9, No. 4. pp. 578-597. Abstract: Our understanding of the dynamics of urban ecosystems can be enhanced by examining the multidimensional social characteristics of households. To this end, we investigated the relative significance of three social theories of household structure—population, lifestyle behavior, and social stratification—to the distribution of vegetation cover in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Our ability to assess the relative significance of these theories depended on fine-scale social and biophysical data. We distinguished among vegetation in three areas hypothesized to be differentially linked to these social theories: riparian areas, private lands, and public rights-of-way (PROWs). Using a multimodel inferential approach, we found that variation of vegetation cover in riparian areas was not explained by any of the three theories and that lifestyle behavior was the best predictor of vegetation cover on private lands. Surprisingly, lifestyle behavior was also the best predictor of vegetation cover in PROWs. The inclusion of a quadratic term for housing age significantly improved the models. Based on these research results, we question the exclusive use of income and education as the standard variables to explain variations in vegetation cover in urban ecological systems. We further suggest that the management of urban vegetation can be improved by developing environmental marketing strategies that address the underlying household motivations for and participation in local land management.

Environment and Behavior, Vol. 33, No. 3. pp. 343-367. Abstract: Although vegetation has been positively linked to fear of crime and crime in a number of settings, recent findings in urban residential areas have hinted at a possible negative relationship: Residents living in "greener" surroundings report lower levels of fear, fewer incivilities, and less aggressive and violent behavior. This study used police crime reports to examine the relationship between vegetation and crime in an inner-city neighborhood. Crime rates for 98 apartment buildings with varying levels of nearby vegetation were compared. Results indicate that although residents were randomly assigned to different levels of nearby vegetation, the greener a building's surroundings were, the fewer crimes reported. Furthermore, this pattern held for both property crimes and violent crimes. The relationship of vegetation to crime held after the number of apartments per building, building height, vacancy rate, and number of occupied units per building were accounted for.

Snuggie night was a bit of a bust, but if you enjoy big giveaways with your minor league hoops you may want to attend tonight's Flash game in Orem. It's the last home game of the year and someone will ride home on a new motorcycle.
Here's the press release:
OREM, Utah, March 29, 2010 – The Utah Flash and partner Maakoa announced today that at halftime of the Flash's final home game one lucky fan will win a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Fans have been entering to win all season, and will be able to enter as late as mid-way through the second quarter of Tuesday's game.
One lucky name will be drawn during a halftime presentation, and that winner will take home the motorcycle. The Flash has been happy to have Maakoa on board this season. "They bring a great element to our games and to our team, and we are very grateful to have them on board," said Team President Joe Brown.
The Flash will also be hosting a blackout night where the players will wear their black road uniforms. Fans can get a 2 for 1 discount on purchasing tickets if they were black to the game as part of the blackout.
With only three games remaining the Flash hold the seventh out of eight available playoff spots. Utah hosts Rio Grande Valley on Tuesday and will travel to Austin for two games against the Toros this weekend. Tickets are available and can be purchased by calling 801-434-HOOP.

Subject Offer
Definition of 'Subject Offer'
Subject offers are intended to be purely informational in nature. They can be used in some instances to elicit a counteroffer from a willing buyer. Rather than placing an asset immediately into the market for sale, a subject offer enables one to asses the demand environment.
Investopedia explains 'Subject Offer'
A subject offer is not a firm commitment to sell. It is subject to receiving a counteroffer, which may later be followed by a sale. Subject offers are commonly used in the bargaining process of a transaction.

Wonder how Levi feels about this...
You didn't really believe Don Draper would ever actually leave you, did you?
Today it was announced that NBC's upcoming sitcom adaptation of Chelsea Handler's memoir Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea has found its 20-year-old version of Chelsea Handler in Laura Prepon, a TV veteran who is 30, and a mere five years younger than Chelsea Handler's (alleged, because, come on) current age. We're not saying Laura Prepon won't do a decent job, but nevertheless, this means it's time to cast other comedians' memoirs with their TV-inappropriate counterparts. Because you know TV executives would do half this crap.
Inside every movie star is an idea for a great TV show. And inside Snooki is a lonely heart.
Today's news will probably elicit a fair share of hearty laughs (at Snooki's expense) and horrified gasps (new show about porn). Boozy Chelsea Handler is hosting arguably the most entertaining awards show on television and a much-beloved reverend is now a gay lover. My pearls could not be clutched more tightly.
Looks like it's going to be another season of reality TV cast members and washed-up singers on Dancing With the Stars!
If Jimmy Fallon wasn't a late-night TV institution before, he is now -- the Late Night host recently received his own Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor, called "Late Night Snack," consisting of vanilla ice cream with salty caramel and chocolate covered potato chips. It joins Cherry Garcia and Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream in the ranks of celebrity ice cream flavors. Given the media hoopla that's been made of it, it's a wonder that the ice-cream makers don't produce even more celebrity flavors. Sure, it would make the honor less prestigious, but it's kind of a dubious honor to begin with, when you think about it. Here are some other celeb flavors we'd be curious to get a tasting spoon of.
Now, imagine this was a bloody railroad! Sounds amazing, right?!
Idol is promising big changes... back to the changes we've already seen before. It's less complicated than it sounds.
Our favorite Global Guts host fulfills our dreams, while our nightmare of Snooki invading TV beyond the Jersey Shore is close to becoming true. More product placement for the Bump-it, at least.

$225, I haven't looked but if I go to the site and see that they have sold anything like this for that much…I am going to have to consider changing my career.

Even in death, Michael Jackson has the power to bring people together.
His three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, memorialized their late father with a hand and footprint ceremony outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Calif., on Thursday.
"This, right here, is his lifetime achievement award," Prince, 14, told the crowd. "This is what he strived to get, and this is what we are giving him now."
The trio then made an imprint in the cement using the King of Pop's famous sequined glove and a pair of his dancing shoes. They also added their own handprints.
VIDEO: How Michael's pill addiction began
Paris, 13, then introduced Justin Bieber, 17, who performed his own rendition of "Rockin' Robin" (made famous by Jackson in 1972).
"Michael meant so much to me and I know he meant a lot to you guys as well," an emotional Bieber said. "He was more than entertainer: He was an inspiration in the way he was kind, he was gentle and very charitable. That's why I look up to him."
PHOTOS: How Michael's face changed over the years
Chris Tucker, Smokey Robinson and Quincy Jones also showed up for the ceremony, as did Jackson's mother, Katherine, and his brothers, Tito and Jackie.

Tutorial: Soap Socks
I was at home waiting for news from my sister, Eithne Gingerbread, who was supposed to deliver unto the world a new baby today. The child has Eithne's sense of punctuality and thus took a good fortnight to appear on the scene, but finally did so in a whirl of drama this afternoon. Mother and child are doing well, hurray.
While baby Hannah was adjusting to the world, I was trying to get some odds and ends finished. So I'm going to do a series of little blog postettes about my craft fair endeavours. Most of what I'll show you in these posts will end up being donated to a Christmas bazaar in aid of the local children's clinic - as a result, they're quick and economical to make and rely heavily on a certain cuteness factor as a sales technique. Brace yourselves, crafters. Here we go!
Soap Socks
The idea behind these is that, as the soap shrinks with use, the wool felts through rubbing and the use of hot and cold water. I had loads of these finished, but everyone who has seen them so far has bought one or two off me - which is a good sign, but honestly I have to stockpile a little before Advent starts. They look cute. They smell nice. They're cheap to make (I buy the soap at Aldi - no one sees it because it's sewn into the soap). And even a novice knitter like me can make them.
You need:
felting wool (I can make 4 or 5 socks from one 50g skein)
and a set of DPNs/straight knitting needles.
(I used a size 5 mm.)
Cast on 20 stitches. Divide over four needles, or knit flat.
Row 1: plain
Row 2: purl
Repeat in stockinette stitch till you have a little tube the length of a bar of soap. Sew up the bottom opening. (If knitted flat, sew up the bottom and side.)
Squeeze the soap into its little sock. Weave the tail of the yarn around the top opening and pull to close the hole. Weave in your tail.
(Wowzers. Knitting patterns are so simple to write, eh?)
Add a label.
Be fancy.
Voilà - or as we say in cyberspace: Waalah!

Thank you, girls! I've been too frugal and mean to try one myself - haha! - but I spotted the idea ages ago while on the Interwebz and mentally filed it away under "I can do that" :-)

Welcome Hannah, and congratulations to your sister and her family.
Neat idea :D The soap socks that is, not the baby. Although babies clearly are a good idea. I had four! - October 30, 2011 at 11:39 AM

I am liking this....looks faster than my scrubbies that are multiplying to stick in pressies for the festive season... The label makes it though. Really nice.
Liz - October 30, 2011 at 8:36 PM
- The Gingerbread Lady said...
@ Liz - yes, they're fast. And I'm not a great knitter. Because it's felting yarn, you can work it up quickly on big needles.
@Annie - four babies! You've probably had hundreds of bars of soap go through your fingers over the years! - October 30, 2011 at 10:25 PM

How much do you charge for these?
- January 10, 2012 at 7:30 PM
- The Gingerbread Lady said...
Hi Audrey,
I donated a basket of these to a charity and they sold them for €3 each. They cost 80c to make - yarn 40c, soap 30-40c. I would adjust your price according to how expensive your soap and yarn are. I could buy yarn on special offer for €2 a skein and got 4 - mostly 5 - socks per skein. You can use expensive soap and then you'd obviously have to charge more. How that compares with US prices I'm afraid I don't know. - January 10, 2012 at 9:17 PM

A little late to the party, but better late than never. It seems Baby Hannah and I share a name as well as a birthday, how wonderful.
And I love your soap socks!
Hanneke - August 16, 2012 at 3:49 AM
- Sewfine Quilts said...
They are gorgeous. Can you use a different yarn other than felting yarn? When the soap is finished, do you throw the bag out?
Linda - March 25, 2013 at 5:17 PM
- The Gingerbread Lady said...
Hello Linda,
You can use cotton, for example, which won't become smaller as the soap is used, but it can be washed and refilled.
The idea is that the bag felts into a smaller felted bag that can be re-used by putting soap scraps into it. I simply use these as scented sachets for my clothes drawers, as the wool retains the smell of the soap really well, so I've never actually felted a bag myself :-) :-) - March 27, 2013 at 9:28 PM

The three suspects arrested last week in connection with the mass kidnapping in May at a Mexico City bar will be held in preventive arrest following a ruling by a judge, officials said.
Jonathan Omar Robles Gonzalez, Pedro Francisco Paz Lopez and Fernando Fernandez Sanchez will remain in custody while prosecutors gather more evidence in the case, the Federal District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
The three suspects confessed to "their direct participation in the kidnapping of the victims" on May 26, the DA's office said.
Investigators found the remains of 13 people, all of them abducted from the Heaven bar in Mexico City's upscale Zona Rosa district, in a clandestine grave in Tlalmanalco, a city in Mexico state, last month.
The suspects told investigators they "received instructions from an individual whose alias they have provided," the DA's office said.
The judge granted a 30-day preventive arrest term so "the investigation can continue and prosecutors can take the steps needed to clear up what happened," the DA's office said.
The Federal District's Special Prosecutor's Office for Kidnappings is handling the investigation, the DA's office said.
The bodies of the people snatched from the Heaven bar were discovered by federal authorities pursuing leads in a firearms case unrelated to the Heaven bar kidnappings.
Investigators found the mass grave - covered with cement, asbestos and lime - on the La Mesa ranch in Tlalmanalco, Mexico state.
The mass kidnapping and killings were in reprisal for the May 24 murder of Horacio Vite Angel, a reputed member of the La Union de Insurgentes drug gang, by the rival La Union de Tepito group.
One of the people taken from the bar and killed, 16-year-old Jerzy Ortiz, was the son of Jorge "El Tanque" Ortiz Reyes, the jailed boss of La Union de Tepito, officials said.
Tepito is the crime-ridden downtown Mexico City neighborhood where most of the victims lived.

Researchers often fail to notice the importance of Waupaca County court, probate, and land files as a source of family history and genealogy details. Buried away in Wisconsin courthouses and archives everywhere are often the dreams and frustrations of countless Wisconsin residents.
The chances are excellent that your forefathers have left a in-depth record of at least some elements of their lives in the Waupaca County court records.

The earliest date does not indicate that there are numerous records for that year and does not mean that all such events were actually registered.
It has been estimated that less than 50 percent of the vital records, for example, were prepared and submitted for permanent filing prior to 1907. Land deeds, probate, and court records generally begin in Wisconsin with the organization of the county. Prior to that date, check the County or Counties it was created from. Some counties formed from other counties transcribed their portion of property deeds to be kept with the new county deed records.

Many of these genealogy links fall into 3 categories: Business oriented Sites, Personal Sites or Organization Sites. Some have free access some have to have a cost.

I welcome Jim Hoagland's column about the nefarious activities of rogue elements of the US intelligence community and their allies in the press. Several of my earlier articles covering topics such as Iranian nuclear capabilities, Abu Ghraib, or the Netwar battles prior to the 2004 election all show a significant intelligence agency information warfare campaign against the President. Hoagland is right; it has been a brilliant series of info operations. Fortunately, the advent of the new media can help clean up this rat's nest. Our national security depends on it.

Rise Of One Or Fall Of Many?
With the French Open nearly completed and Wimbledon just around the corner, we're sufficiently deep into the tennis season to start assessing where we are and what the big stories are shaping up to be.
Last year, the biggest story was the extraordinary rise of Novak Djokovic. This year, it may be the return to prominence of the richest female athlete in sports history, Maria Sharapova.
But the Sharapova story, let's face it, has two sides to it.
There's the positive slant, for starters. More than three years after serious shoulder surgery, the 25-year-old Sharapova has fought her way back to the top and will again become the No. 1 ranked woman in tennis next week regardless of how she fares on Saturday in the final at Roland Garros against upstart Sara Errani of Italy. Even non-tennis fans know who Sharapova is, and any success she has tends to bring globs of attention to the sport, which is a good thing.
This is Sharapova's chance to complete a career Grand Slam on a surface she once infamously labelled herself an "elephant on roller skates" for her inability to effectively navigate her 6-foot-2 frame around the dirt court. While athletes in other sports have found incredible wealth and then been unable to find the motivation to either keep their game at a high level or fight back when adversity strikes, Sharapova deserves enormous credit for sticking with it, dealing with embarrassing double-faulting problems and moving forward with a drive that has been noticeable since she won Wimbledon at age 17.
Her big moments have been oddly spaced out; she won at the All-England Club in 2004, captured the U.S. Open in 2006 and then the Australian Open in 2008. Now, perhaps, the French in 2012. But she has endured and hung around, and a victory on Saturday will certainly vault her to the top of the tennis conversation heading towards Wimbledon.
But, as it usually the case with multi-textured sports stories, there's a negative side to the second rise of Sharapova.
For starters, while she's had to fight back from injury, she hasn't renovated or developed her game. She basically plays the same way she always has, hitting flat and dominating from the baseline, staying away from the net and eschewing variety in favour of power. Her shrieking, if anything, is worse than ever, but in the noisy women's game, that seems to be something we just have to live with.
More important, her ability to win another major and get to No. 1 is, in its own way, a withering commentary on the state of the women's tour. Bluntly, Sharapova is back on top because most of the women she struggled to beat have either retired or seen their careers hindered by injury. That's left the women's tour with a series of No. 1 players - Dinara Safina, Caroline Wozniacki and now Vika Azarenka - who pale in comparison to the great players of the 1990s and early part of this century. Both Safina and Wozniacki got there without even winning a major title.
There have been exciting, inspiring moments in recent years - the victories of Francesca Schiavone and Li Na at Roland Garros, Petra Kvitova's win at Wimbledon, Sam Stosur's victory in New York last year - but for the most part the competition has been erratic and the absence of truly dominant players has been undeniable. The ability of players like Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters to drop in from time-to-time and still be among the very best isn't a flattering commentary on the rest of the tour. From a North American perspective, the absence of any up-and-coming U.S. players to succeed the Williams sisters makes it seem worse.
So Sharpova's back at the top and has fought hard to get there. Good for her. It's not like she needs the money or anything. She's motivated by winning and competition.
But it's about time for the rest of the tour to wake up and show some life as well.
