Enterprises Risk Alienating Customers With Limited Mobile Web Strategies
11 Dec, 2012, 12:22 GMT
LONDON, December 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Netbiscuits quarterly Metrics Report reveals if enterprises design for the top 10 most used mobile devices they still only cover 56% of global traffic share
- More web traffic comes from feature phones than tablets in 7 out of 8 markets*
- 6 Blackberry devices are among the top 25 most used devices
- Kindle Fire one of top 25 devices for mobile web browsing in North America
Netbiscuits, the global leader in software solutions for adaptive web development, today revealed that some businesses could be giving customers a poor mobile web experiences and losing customers to competitors if they do not build mobile strategies that properly addresses changing web access patterns or the many different devices that people use. Netbiscuits quarterly Metrics Report shows that even if enterprises design for the top 10 most used devices they still only cover 56% of global traffic.

Mobile web user habits are changing and websites are being accessed through devices rarely covered in enterprise mobile strategies. In 7 out of 8 regional markets studied, more web traffic still comes via feature phones than tablets. This is critical for Enterprise mobile strategies which tend to rely on their PC sites running on tablets, which in itself is also a limited strategy by ignoring features like touch and GPS functionality.
Declining use of Blackberry devices has led some businesses to omit optimising their web experience for these smartphones. The Metrics Report reveals, however, that whilst declining, six Blackberry devices are still among the top 25 devices based on global traffic share, with the Blackberry 8520 in fifth place.
"Unless enterprises embrace changing trends in how people access the web, they could leave the majority of their customers with a slow, limited or even irrelevant experience and ultimately lose customers to competitors with better, more engaging experiences," says Daniel Weisbeck, CMO, Netbiscuits. "Enterprises need to ensure that their web app or site adapts for a superior and customised web experience across all devices, browsers and features if they are to have the best chance of engaging and retaining their customers in a highly competitive economy. This is where responsive design is never enough. Responsive design doesn't help companies adapt the experience through faster image conversion, GPS and touch functions as an example."
The Metrics Report also reveals the top device categories by global web traffic. The iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S tops the list with 31% of global traffic share, followed by the Samsung GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2, Galaxy Z) with 6% share and the Samsung GT-I9300 in third with 4%.
The cloud-based Netbiscuits adaptive web development platform enables companies to quickly and easily create rich mobile web experiences customised to every mobile device, whatever its global traffic share.
About the Metrics Report
The Metrics Report is based on an analysis of global web traffic over the Netbiscuits Platform in October 2012. Regional* markets tracked in this report include Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, North American, Central and Southern America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Western Europe.

A wide angle lens isn't the only way to get a panoramic holiday snap. A robotic camera mount's been invented that promises to capture highly detailed panoramic shots with ease.
A commercial GigaPan model will released this year
The GigaPan robotic mount attaches to any compact camera. Users simply select the area they want to capture and the device sets about dividing the area into segments, before snapping tens, hundreds or even thousands of overlapping images by titling and panning the camera accordingly.
These images are then stitched together by accompanying software to form a panoramic shot, with online examples already including the Grand Canyon and India's Golden Temple. Once combined into a single panoramic shot, it's claimed the final image can boast a resolution of up to one billion pixels.
GigaPan is the result of a partnership between scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and space boffins at NASA. Dr. Illah Nourbakhsh, an associate professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, told the New York Times that a commercial GigaPan model will be available later this year.
"We hope it will cost in the low hundreds of dollars — well below $500 (£250/€315)," he said.
Shots already captured by GigaPan
Roughly 300 GigaPan test models have already been used by scientists, children and photographers around the world.
One tester, Richard Palmer, an environmental health specialist at the Hawaii State Department of Health in Honolulu, told the paper that his image of a Hawaiian bay took roughly 90 minutes for GigaPan to shoot.
Despite the long shooting time, he stated that photographers can use telephoto lenses with the robotic tripod. "That means that when you zoom in to look at the images, you are viewing them just as you would if you were looking through a pair of binoculars," he said.
Other examples of panoramic shots snapped by GigaPan are available online.

Economic Terrorists Seek 'United States of Europe'
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
European globalists are committing another act of economic terrorism by exploiting the euro debt crisis in a bid to create a "United States of Europe," with European Council president Herman van Rompuy announcing he is ready to spearhead the group, a move that frighteningly parallels plans by top Nazis, may of whom went on to found the EU, and their mission to build a continent-wide economic government.
EU leaders are fearmongering over the consequences of member states abandoning the single currency, warning that a euro collapse would lead to martial law and even civil war.
Their "solution" is to hand themselves even more power to create a common economic policy that all member states would be forced to follow at the expense of their national sovereignty, a de facto financial government for the whole of Europe.
"European Council president Herman van Rompuy said yesterday that he was ready to run for a second term as European Union president, to lead a "United States of Europe," reports the Irish Independent.
"Mr Van Rompuy has announced he is willing to take on the "unfinished" eurozone debt crisis with new powers setting an "economic government" in Brussels."
Simultaneously, British Prime Minister David Cameron last night said that Britain "must let eurozone countries move towards a United States of Europe with a common economic policy," reports the Daily Mail.
"The Prime Minister admitted he was not sure whether Germany and other countries had the political will to prevent a break-up of the single currency, but insisted they must be allowed to try – even if that meant closer integration."
The move to exploit the debt crisis in order to completely eviscerate the economic sovereignty of every EU member by forming a central economic planning committee, a United States of Europe, to which all countries are beholden, is not merely an act of economic terrorism, it's a chilling throwback to identical proposals that were the brainchild of top Nazis.
Plans to create a federal European economic government in the name of mandating fiscal responsibility and avoiding a repeat of the turmoil in Greece chillingly mirror blueprints concocted in the 1940's as a means of preserving fascist power at the end of world war two by men who were responsible for founding the EU in the first place.
As we have exhaustively documented, the European Common Market, the precursor to the European Union, was a brainchild of top Nazis in the 1940's who wanted to preserve fascist power in the event of defeat in world war two.
US Military Intelligence report EW-Pa 128, also known as The Red House Report, details how top Nazis secretly met at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944 and, knowing Germany was on the brink of military defeat, conspired to create a Fourth Reich – a pan-European economic empire based around a European common market, precisely what the new Economic government proposal backed by the likes of Cameron and van Rompuy calls for.
Wealthy Nazi industrialists like Alfried Krupp of Krupp Industries and Friedrich Flick, as well as front companies like BMW, Siemens and Volkswagen, set about the task of building a new pan-European business empire. According to historian Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an adviser to Jewish former slave laborers, "For many leading industrial figures close to the Nazi regime, Europe became a cover for pursuing German national interests after the defeat of Hitler….The continuity of the economy of Germany and the economies of post-war Europe is striking. Some of the leading figures in the Nazi economy became leading builders of the European Union."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
The foundations for the EU and ultimately the Euro single currency were laid by the secretive Bilderberg Group in the mid-1950's. Bilderberg's own leaked documents prove that the agenda to create a European common market and a single currency were formulated by Bilderberg in 1955. One of the group's principle founders was H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a former Nazi SS officer.
But the ideological framework for the European Union goes back even further, to the 1940's when top Nazi economists and academics outlined the plan for a single European economic community, an agenda that was duly followed after the end of the second world war.
In his 1940 book The European Community, Nazi Economics Minister and war criminal Walther Funk wrote about the need to create a "Central European Union" and "European Economic Area" and for fixed exchange rates, stating "No nation in Europe can achieve on its own the highest level of economic freedom which is compatible with all social requirements…The formation of very large economic areas follows a natural law of development….interstate agreements in Europe will control [economic forces generally]…There must be a readiness to subordinate one's own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC]."
How different is Funk's call for governments to subordinate their economic interests to those of Europe compared with Jose Manuel Barroso's insistence that EU member states should be forced to "institute structural reforms under pain of financial sanctions"? The similarity is frightening.
Funk's co-authors echoed his sentiments. Nazi academic Heinrich Hunke wrote, "Classic national economy..is dead…community of fate which is the European economy…fate and extent of European co-operation depends on a new unity economic plan".
A "new unity economic plan," this is precisely what Cameron and Van Rompuy are proposing – centralized financial control over the economies of Europe ruled by Brussels.
Fellow Nazi Gustav Koenig observed, "We have a real European Community task before us…I am convinced that this Community effort will last beyond the end of the war."
In 1940, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels ordered the creation of the "large-scale economic unification of Europe," believing that "in fifty years' time [people would] no longer think in terms of countries." Just 53 years later, the European Union in its current form was established.
So you have one of Hitler's most loyal Nazi allies calling for "Economic unification of Europe," and now former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer is demanding the establishment of "a financial oversight body with the teeth to assert control over the finances of member states."
Even on the face of it, the fact that the EU, which began as a free trade area, is now seeking to have its unelected members directly control national economies, is completely dictatorial, authoritarian, and represents the anti-thesis of any notion of democracy or representation of the people of Europe. Add the fact that the exact same agenda was pursued by one of the most notoriously criminal and barbaric regimes in history and surely alarm bells should be ringing?
Other top Nazis who called for the creation of a pan-European federal economic superstate include Ribbentrop, Quisling and Seyss-Inquart, who spoke of "The new Europe of solidarity and co-operation among all its people… will find…rapidly increasing prosperity once national economic boundaries are removed."
Most of the individuals who hold the reigns of power in the European Union are not Nazis, indeed, they probably believe themselves to be fair-minded liberals working for the "greater good". However, the European Union by its very nature is totalitarian, because it seeks to remove power from national governments accountable to their electorate and centralize it into the hands of supra-national entities that are accountable to nobody but themselves. It also seeks to remove the right of free speech for anyone in a position of influence who criticizes this agenda.
The fact that the EU was a brainchild of top Nazi economists and industrialists, formulated as a means of preserving dictatorial power and then implemented by former Nazi working under the auspices of the Bilderberg Group in 1955, proves that the entire European Union system is poisoned with a legacy and a raison d'être of totalitarianism.
The additional knowledge that the European Union is now pursuing identical economic policies to those voiced by top Nazis, several of whom went on to found the EU in its embryonic stages, is a chilling reminder of how fundamentally anti-democratic and fascist the EU is becoming as it swallows up more power from member states and appoints itself as the supreme dictator of an entire continent.
The European Union will fight tooth and nail to protect the single currency from collapsing because, as top Bilderberger and Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff made clear in a recent Financial Times piece, the future plan for a globalized currency system is wholly dependent on the survival of the Euro, which would almost certainly be destroyed if the Greeks or any other member state were to default and ditch the single currency.
"The euro experiment has also brought us to a crossroads in the whole international monetary system," wrote Rogoff. "Will our grandchildren inherit a world with a huge number of national currencies, or a very small number of multi-country currencies?"

Danny & The Parkins Sisters
"Danny & the Parkins Sisters were a truly singular blend of irritating, grating, interesting and meaningful." - Bruno DeSmartass, Flipper.
Chapter Music is proud to resurrect from undeserved obscurity the scratchy beatnik art-punk stylings of early 80s San Francisco trio Danny & the Parkins Sisters.
Surrounded by the classic SF punk sounds of the Dead Kennedys, Pink Section, Flipper and the like, Danny & the Parkins Sisters opted instead to head in a very different direction.
Brash Arizona transplant Danny Vinik and chic, alluring sisters Debra and Beverly Parkins strummed on detuned guitars, banged on whatever was close at hand, and declaimed hilarious, incisive lyrics dissecting the scenes and tribes around them in visceral early 80s San Francisco. Their high-performance shows played out in legendary venues such as the Sound Of Music and Club Generic, with guests including Dead Kennedys drummer DH Peligro.
In 1982, the band released a 8 song mini album on the Modern Masters label, run by Richard Kelly of the cabaret collective Club Foot Orchestra. It included the all-time shoulda-beena classic, War Is On Your Doorstep, a pounding tribal punk chant that sums up all the paranoia and posturing of the post-punk era.
By 1983 the band were over, with Danny heading to South America and the Parkins sisters to New York, but their brief SF moment shone with a peculiar, musically naive but still knowing charm.

31 Comments on "/ignore And Why I Don't Like It…Much"
June 28, 2010 at 2:03 am
Eh… When I had put a guildie on ignore then the GM makes them a raid leader and I had to un-ignore them I should have taken the hint and moved on then. Especially when the GM takes their word over mine that I made some smartass comment deserving a smartass GTFO comment back.
Since when is asking for help smartass?
Anyways… Life goes on and some people cannot be happy with themselves unless they are putting down others. I don't want to play with those types of people and /ignore keeps them out of my 5man PuGs, so it can prove useful in certain cases.
Only when their opinion of me had weight before the /ignore decision does it make me wonder what they're saying. I guess everyone handles things differently and the world would sure be boring if they all handled things the same.
June 28, 2010 at 2:04 am
Oops… Not raid leader, I meant officer. Almost the same thing.
June 28, 2010 at 4:17 am
When I was running a guild, there were two people in my guild who were like oil and water. One guy was the guy that is offensive but "it's just a joke lol" and the other lady had six children and was very old fashioned about language (she once got after me for saying "pissed off"). They HATED each other. We got after the offensive guy when he crossed the official guild rule line (racist, sexist, etc) but not when he was just calling people noobs or saying shut up.
Eventually they mutually ignored each other and harmony was restored. But it would have been a whole lot easier if BOTH had been open minded. Rogue doesn't need to say whatever he wants to whenever he wants to, and Tree can disapprove of people saying "shut up" but she can't always be trying to wash the world's mouth out with soap.
I myself personally only ignore people if I never want to be grouped with them again. I didn't do this originally because I figured I'd never see them again anyway, but then I started getting repeats! So now it's off to the ignore list!
June 28, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Omg if you dont like me Ill just die!
June 28, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I must confess that I'm a rampant /ignore-er. I've never used it on guildies, but then I've never felt the need to on an RP-realm.
I do, however, have a massive list of abusive-puggers that I never wish to see again and I wish others would do the same, too. It's all very well to ignore their antics without the / part, but that leads to abusive behaviour having no consequences. I *want* to see offensive people excluded from the game because they can't find a group. If there were an eBay style rating system, I'd be even happier.

I realized I was in a bad PUG the other day when my Grid only showed 18 names in a full raid. The GridIgnore addon automatically removes anyone you have on your ignore list – so you don't accidently heal them 🙂
June 28, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I never have anyone on ignore. Ever. You never know when that person is going to say something useful.
Actually, I lie. I put an entire guild on ignore once. In a PuG Sarth10 3D, when I kept dying due to people not doing their job and picking up mobs, and me being well over geared and pulling aggro due to stupidly high DPS as ret. I got kicked and the entire 10man team (mostly from the same guild) were telling me how awful I was. After explaining to the hunters what MD was, I linked my drake to them, and told them to come talk to me when they had one, and put them on ignore.
First and only time I put people on ignore, and it was an entire 10man guild LOL! I then poached their star DPS for my guild just to rub salt into the wound (the only guy who was nice to me, and apologised for his guild's behaviour). I think that was justice served 😀
June 28, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I'm generally a pretty good guy, but sometimes I wonder how many Ignore lists I've ended up on myself. I can be a hardass when I have to, and I know for a fact that I'm on at least one. (Long story.)
As for putting people on MY list, I think I've been pretty lucky. Most of the people that I've ignored were those gold spammers that send whispers to you out of the blue with their sales pitches. (They're getting more elaborate, too.) It's probably pointless, but I like that momentary thrill when I click "Ignore".
There have been a few people whom I've met in PuGs that I've put on Ignore. I'm generally tolerant of off-color humor as long as it's delivered with good intentions, but if someone is malicious or down-putting in their "critique", then it crosses that line for me.
Thankfully I've never had to put Guildies on Ignore, nor have I had to do it for anyone with whom I had been required to have regular interactions with.
June 29, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I put guildies on ignore, and I don't feel bad about it. Rape jokes, idiotic macro spamming, nastygrams, these are all types of behavior I would not for one second tolerate from my 3 year twins. Since I can't put these supposedly grown ass people in time-out I'm just going to remove their stupidity from my little WoW-verse. I spend all day with my own little kids, and I don't pay good money to spend my evenings babysitting adults or even just observing their antics.
And if it means they can't whisper me in a raid to know when to use that Brez, get a mic or learn to look at your own damn timer bars, Viso. =P
June 29, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Ah, guess that was poorly phrased. In recent memory and current guild I've had precisely one person on ignore, that being the Viso mentioned above. Not a bad person, just prone to spamming silly macros in /g. Such macros have had a bad habit of pushing off the screen whisper conversations I'm trying to have with friends who may only log in once every 3 months for a chit-chat. I despise WIM, have issues with the muscles used in eye focusing and refuse to split my chat.
In previous guilds it was much, much worse and I did in fact move on to greener pastures ASAP.
In the situation I mentioned above it was a LK25 attempt. Viso had eaten something bad on the first transition phase, if I recall he'd gotten in front of the Raging Spirit. Brez was called for but the platform crumble was mere seconds away. I saw this and called in vent that I was waiting for a few seconds to brez, and to take it as soon it came up. I crossed over as soon as Remorseless Winter was gone and immediately popped brez. This is when Viso apparently tried to whisper me asking if I'd brezzed him into thin air. After I'd JUST called it on vent that I hadn't. To be honest I'd forgotten about putting him on ignore the night before for his macro spammage and removed him once it was brought to my attention. Please don't assume that because I have no tolerance/patience for childishness due to exhausting it with my own children that I'm not a team player. I adjust my own play and help evolve guild strategies to maximize our effectiveness even with less than ideal comps. But using /ignore as as short-term solution when someone else's fun causes me irritation is still a better solution than a rage/emo gquit just because I'm cantankerous and short-tempered at times (see exhausting patience with one's own children, above.)

Friday night delight
One night after the Bisons erased a five-run deficit on the Gwinnett Braves the two teams switched roles as the Braves scored five runs in the final two innings thanks to send the game into extra innings.
Tonight's story had a different ending for the Herd as Jesus Feliciano played the part of the hero, getting a single in the eleventh inning to drive home second baseman Russ Adams and defeat the Braves 10-9. In his second game back with the Herd returning from the Mets, Feliciano was 0-5 before lining a single just past Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman to score Adams from second and giving the Bisons their 47th win of the year.
The Herd entered the eighth inning with a 9-4 lead on Gwinnett. The Braves however would begin to chip away at their lead thanks to a three-run eighth inning where both left fielder Mitch Jones and catcher J.C Boscan had home runs. For Jones it was his team-high 17th home run of the year and his second of the night. Jones also hit a three-run blast in the first inning to put the Braves ahead early in the game.
The Braves then completed the comeback by getting a two-run home run from shortstop Brandon Hicks in the bottom of the ninth.
The comeback from the Braves erased a strong start from the Bisons lone All-Star selection, Pat Misch. After throwing an inning of scoreless relief in the mid-summer classic while striking out two batters on Wednesday, the left hander tossed six more innings, giving up seven hits and allowing four runs.
Due to the faltering of the Bisons pen however, Misch was denied his tenth win of the year. Misch who remains at 9-3 saw his four-game winning streak snapped when the Bisons bullpen allowed the Braves to score those five late runs. The lefty will have to wait until his next start to see if he can become the first Bisons pitcher since Jeremy Guthrie in 2005 to get to the double-digit mark in wins.
In his 1.2 innings of relief, pitcher Ryota Igarashi was touched up for five hits and three runs. Manny Acosta followed Igarashi in the ninth inning to try to pick up the save. Acosta was unable to do so and allowed the Hicks two-run home run with two outs, giving the 13,397 fans at Coca-Cola Field a dose of bonus baseball.
Feliciano's single was the first hit the Bisons received in extra innings and he could not have picked a better time to get it. Before Feliciano, Adams got aboard by drawing a walk and was then moved over to second by way of a Jorge Padilla sacrifice bunt.
The walk-off win is the sixth for the Herd this season. Feliciano joins the company of injured Bisons slugger Mike Hessman, Fernando Martinez and Chris Carter as the other members of the Herd to have walk-off hits this year.
Bisons pitcher Jose De La Torre picked up the win by not allowing a hit in the eleventh inning and moves to 1-1 on the season. The Bisons are now 47-45 and remain 7.5 games back of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the lead in the IL North.
BISONS NOTES: First baseman Mike Jacobs hit his 15th home run of the year in the second inning to give the Herd 102 home runs for the year. That mark of 102 is tops in the IL and 22 more than they hit all of last season. The Bisons have also been finding their home run stroke as of late hitting 21 home runs in their past 13 games.

The newest site we have worked on is Crazifornia.com, which promotes the new book by Laer Pearce, Crazifornia. Laer has done a remarkable job documenting how the Golden State of California has become the dysfunctional Tarnished State of Crazifornia. In Laer's words:
- When the agency responsible for California's roads spends $4 million on new cars and trucks, then parks them, unused, for two years, that's Crazifornia.
- When cancer warnings are required on buildings because they may contain estrogen or testosterone, that's Crazifornia.
- And when a full-frontal governmental assault on jobs and business drives enough people out of a state in ten years to double the population of Oregon, well, that's Crazifornia too.
Pay Crazifornia.com a visit and get yourself a copy. It's entertaining, and educational. After all, what begins in California usually spreads like a communicable disease to the rest of the U.S. so you might need to know the warning signs in order to urge your state governments to inoculate themselves from this madness…

Survey Says …
It's not all bad news. Despite all of the negative news we're hearing lately, there is "good" happening and new business opportunities to take advantage of, as a few surveys have reported. Now is the time for technology suppliers and end users to be active. Now is the time to get your businesses prepared.
Last month MMT, along with sister publication Modern Machine Shop, surveyed our readers for their views on how the downturn is affecting investment plans. The results are encouraging—revealing that one-third of respondents say business is stable or growing; 28% say the recession has not affected their equipment purchasing plans, but 52% have delayed plans. However, 20% are currently in the process of purchasing capital equipment or software, or actively researching for later purchase, and of those planning to purchase, nearly a quarter expect to purchase in the next three months, 26% in the next 4 to 6 months, and 55% in the next 7 to 12 months. For complete results go to www.moldmakingtechnology.com/09survey.
Featured Content
Another related survey from MFG.com—on the economy, business conditions and survival plans—shows that manufacturers charting new business roadmaps are holding steady. Some reassuring findings indicate that 51% say their businesses were experiencing declines, but 49% state improving or excellent business conditions. When asked about the potential of company growth in '09, the majority is holding steady, and 75% of suppliers say they are looking to expand their offerings into other industries. See the full report at http://marketing.mfg.com/random/January-Survey-Results-2-16-09.doc.
If you haven't participated in either one of these surveys, now it's your turn to chime in. We are collaborating with Plante & Moran on their 2009 North American Plastics Industry Study: Mold Manufacturers' Survey, which benchmarks the mold manufacturing industry. A summary report will be published exclusively in MMT.
For those of you unfamiliar with Plante & Moran, it is a certified public accounting and business advisory firm with a plastic industry team that has developed a focused financial and business management approach specifically for plastic molders and moldmakers. This study, founded in 1995, "is an in-depth benchmarking survey linking profitability and performance in the plastics industry"—involving mold manufacturing and plastics processor participation. As part of this survey every other year (such as this year), the mold manufacturing industry is specifically surveyed and examined—measuring strategy, marketing, financial performance, HR and operations.
According to Plante & Moran, participants receive actionable insights on what drives success in this industry, commentary on the state of the industry and data analysis. All of which can be used to identify gaps in strategy and compare the practices of successful (and unsuccessful) companies across North America.
I strongly encourage you to participate. Visit plantemoran.com and click on Manufacturers & Distributors to download the form. It must be completed and submitted by May 31, 2009.
Thank you.

The cost of gasoline in Denver last week continued to fall, and the average cost of a gallon of gasoline nationally, which had risen sharply in recent weeks, has appeared to have plateaued according to analysts.
The average cost of a gallon of gas in Denver fell 0.9 cents last week, averaging $3.49 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 844 gas outlets in Denver.
This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.7 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.65.
"After an impressive run that saw the national average begin to approach its springtime high, it appears prices have plateaued – at least for now," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com.
"Oil prices appear to be taking a breather, but with the peak of the hurricane season approaching, a continued upward trajectory in gasoline prices is certainly possible, should we see a major storm take aim at the Gulf."
DeHaan said crude inventories have also declined four consecutive weeks, and large decreases in crude inventories in the near future could also cause rising oil prices.
Including changes in gasoline prices in Denver during the past week, prices on Sunday were 3.4 cents a gallon higher in Denver than the same day one year ago and are 8.4 cents a gallon lower than a month ago.
GasBuddy operates DenverGasPrices.com and more than 250 similar websites that track gasoline prices at more than 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada.

Meaning of name Masaru
Etymology : Means "victory" in Japanese.
Saint :
Origin : Japanese

Meaning of those numbers?
Share this page :
Who is he?
Of charming and elegant appearance, Masaru is refined, eager to please and to be liked in return. Sentimentality, beauty and harmony are the values he seeks, somewhat confusedly; such is the extent of his need for equilibrium. Nevertheless, he is quite secretive, reserved and not particularly demonstrative in his interpersonal relations. He is extremely sensitive although he manages to partially conceal this aspect of his personality with an apparent frostiness or a small ironic smile in the corner of his mouth... He is an active and determined man who is equipped with tremendous practical intelligence, great organizational skills and an analytical mind, although he is inclined to be fastidious. Often a perfectionist (sometimes to the point of obsession), he can´t stand mediocrity or depravity. In fact, he can often be anxious, prone to soul searching and can easily be attracted to spiritualism and the paranormal, whilst remaining a convinced skeptic, and these two trends could occur successively over time (karmic 7). He seeks knowledge and aims to obtain a certain wisdom, although he is equally tempted by Epicureanism and comfort. He tends to oscillate between the two tendencies, but in any case, hesitation is one of his main characteristics. As a child he is a kind, helpful, responsible and endearing young man who is rather focused on himself. Masaru dreams of occupying first place in his parents´ hearts as well as at school where he wants to be the best, and he won´t hesitate to assert himself to prove his worth.
What does he like?
He is attracted to all that glitters and all that is beautiful, while he wishes to succeed, to be in charge and to be admired. Somewhat narcissistic, Masaru is a bit of a ladies man who isn´t lacking in tact and gallantry. In love, he is an aesthete and is often first attracted by a woman´s beauty, although deep and meaningful exchanges are just as important to him. Therefore, his choices in love could be complex, often hesitating between the beauty of one and the magnanimity of the other or the reassuring presence of so-and-so... He is family orientated and desires a comfortable and attractive home with a wife who he imagines as being the perfect hostess and a fantastic cook, if that isn´t asking too much...

What does he do?
everal types of professions are likely to interest him; however it is not unthinkable that he take over the family business. He is likely to be particularly attracted to the independent professions (especially if he was born on a 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th or if his life Path Number is 1), careers related to aesthetics, cuisine, gastronomy, oenology (especially if he has a life Path Number of 6, or was born on a 6th, 15th or 24th, otherwise, specialized or technical professions, or those in connection with hygiene and cleanliness are likely to appeal to his perfectionist nature...

WordPress has a lot of users who don't speak English as a first language, or at all. Thanks to the work of volunteers and the hard-working localization teams, experiencing WordPress in your language is easier than ever, whatever it might be.
But what about WordPress.tv?
Well, at the moment a lot of the content you'll find here is in English. However, we're keen to make it as easy as possible for people to add their own content, in their own language. Hopefully, in time, it'll also be possible to translate some of the content you'll find here to help fellow users out.
While we work towards a solution for making it easy to localize our content, you've started adding your own, which is awesome.
And to make it easier, you can now filter the content on WordPress.tv by language. When you head to the How-To or WordCampTV sections of the site, you'll now find the option to filter the content you see by language.
Ok, right now there's a lot of English language content, and a handful of Spanish and Italian videos – thanks to the contributions of WordPress users like you. But we hope that in time this will grow to encompass as many languages as WordPress itself does.
Remember, if you'd like to submit a video to be shared on WordPress.tv, you can do that from the contact form up in the menu. We're looking forward to seeing them.
What other things could we be doing to make experiencing WordPress.tv in your language easier?

COVER- Capital offense: Jury sends a message
Did Sarah Louise Crawford still love her estranged husband on the late November day when she died? Did she lie to her family, friends, and coworkers, telling them she was finished with an abusive relationship, when she was secretly planning a reconciliation? Did the seemingly responsible Manassas office manager decide to skip work and appointments without notice, leave her beloved cat with no food or water, and miss a date with a new suitor to instead join the man against whom she had a protective order for a spontaneous weekend getaway to Charlottesville?
Attorneys for Anthony Dale Crawford, the Manassas man charged with abducting, killing, and raping his estranged wife in November 2004, argued all those things last week.
"We don't always tell everyone everything," said Crawford's attorney Denise Lunsford, citing phone and credit card records that showed Sarah had called Crawford several times in the week leading up to her death and was still providing him with financial support. "This relationship," said Lundsford, "wasn't over."
With no eyewitnesses to Sarah's death, assistant Commonwealth's attorneys Jon Zug and Joe Platania relied solely on circumstantial evidence, hoping that the horrifying picture they painted of Sarah's last hours would persuade a jury to convict Crawford of the most egregious crime in Virginia's legal system: capital murder.
A missing daughter
When Ed Pippen found an open cell phone at the end of his Manassas driveway on Friday, November 19, he had no way of knowing he'd just discovered an integral element of a crime. He scrolled through the list of contacts saved in the phone, and called "Mom and Dad."
For Sarah's parents, who'd had dinner with their daughter at the Outback Steakhouse in Woodbridge the night before, the call from Pippin was the beginning of a nightmare. As they tried to track Sarah down, the couple learned that she hadn't shown up for work that day despite promising to deliver an important check that afternoon.
Her father, John Powers, testified that their fears intensified the next day when they discovered Sarah, 33, had missed a long-anticipated appointment at a hair salon. The couple went to Sarah's apartment to look for her, but left when they could find no sign of a disturbance. When the Powers arrived at her apartment again the next day, a Sunday morning, they saw a note and a bottle of wine from the man Sarah had been planning to go out with on Saturday evening.
"Sarah, sorry I missed you," Jeff Murphy, a contractor, had written. "Call me to let me know you're okay." Inside, Sarah's beloved cat, Sudie, was "crying," John testified.
With help from Sarah's landlord, the Powers entered the garage apartment and discovered Sudie's food and water bowls were empty. On a bedside table, Irene Powers found a book Sarah had been reading: It's My Life: Starting Over after an Abusive Relationship or Domestic Violence. It was turned, she said to page 59. According to Amazon.com, that's the first page in the chapter entitled, "Do You Still Love Him?" It comes right after the chapter entitled "The Hidden Horror: Sexual Abuse."
That Sarah was involved in an abusive relationship was no secret to her parents. Crawford, 48, had been convicted of misdemeanor assault and battery against Sarah in 1997, two years before they'd married. And in fact, on October 29, 2004– three weeks before her disappearance– the Powers had accompanied Sarah to the apartment she shared with Crawford to help her collect her belongings and move out.
Crawford called the police, who told Crawford that Sarah was within her rights to take anything that belonged to her. Manassas Police Officer Michael Carlino testified Crawford became "agitated" and began "invading her space," following Sarah around the apartment in a threatening manner. Sarah's mother testified that Crawford told Sarah, "You'll pay for this."
Though Sarah had successfully moved into her new apartment and had allegedly kept the remote location a secret from Crawford, by Sunday, November 21, three days after they'd last seen or spoken to Sarah, the Powers knew they had good reason for concern. That morning, they called Manassas police and filed a missing person report. Less than 100 miles away and a few hours later, the horror was unfolding.
A gruesome discovery
Charlottesville police were summoned to Room 118 of the Quality Inn on Emmet Street in the wee hours of Monday, November 22, 2004 to investigate an unpaid room. There were signs that troubled the manager. A "do not disturb" sign hung on the door, the television was blaring, and the air conditioning on the cool autumn night was turned up high. And there was another, more worrisome clue.
"I could smell decay," testified Charlottesville Police Officer Mike Flaherty on day two of Crawford's trial. As Flaherty and several other officers "cleared the room," he said, checking for anyone who might be hiding, they noticed a "lump" in the bed. When they pulled back the covers, they discovered the nude body of Sarah Crawford, posed on her back in a "froglike" position– knees out, ankles crossed, with her hands resting on her lower abdomen. She was dead and had been for some time, said Flaherty, describing grisly post-mortem conditions.
When officers checked a purse on a nearby table, they discovered Sarah's identity and soon learned of the previous day's missing person's report. They also learned who had checked into room 118 on Friday morning, November 19: "Dale" Crawford, Sarah's husband. Immediately a manhunt began.
With assistance from his adult daughter in South Carolina from whom Crawford had requested money, police arranged to wire it to him in Jacksonville, Florida. After being apprehended by Jacksonville police without incident on November 26– the day after Thanksgiving– Crawford dropped a bombshell.
"I know she's passed away," he said in a videotaped interview. He explained that after deciding to reconcile, the couple had gone away for the weekend, checked into the Quality Inn in Charlottesville, and then gone to breakfast at McDonald's. He'd tried to kill himself in the parking lot, he said on the tape, but Sarah had tried to stop him, and when she grabbed the gun, it accidentally went off, shooting her in the chest.
"It was basically her fault," he claimed. He said her last words were, "I love you."
However, Crawford contradicted himself several times on the tape, including saying they'd gone to breakfast before checking in to the hotel. He also admitted his wife was already mortally wounded when he placed her in the room.
"I was scared," he said of his decision not to seek medical care for her. "It disturbs me, too."
But his behavior in the days before his arrest, one witness said, was not that of a frightened man.
"He wanted to visit my family," Barbara Sullivan, his third cousin, testified for the prosecution. She hadn't seen him in "16 or 17 years," she said, when he showed up at her job near Gainesville, Florida two days after Sarah's body had been discovered in Charlottesville.
Crawford, Sullivan testified, told her he had come to Florida on vacation and had been to see nearby car races. Crawford told Sullivan the driver's side window in the car– his wife's maroon Hyundai Sonata– had been knocked out by thieves who'd stolen his wallet and belongings.
Sullivan took Crawford to see her mother, and for several hours the family reminisced about old times and ate dinner together. After dinner, Sullivan said, she took Crawford to see her sister, where the conversation turned to "different cultures, different countries." Crawford mentioned that his "soon-to-be ex-wife" was a British citizen, Sullivan said, adding that Crawford never mentioned Sarah's death.
"Ray of sunshine"
Indeed, Sarah was born in London. Irene Powers and Sarah's biological father divorced when Sarah was a baby, and her father moved away and had no further contact with the family– with the exception, her mother says, of one phone call when she was 14. (Irene says she has been unable to locate him to tell him of Sarah's death.)
Despite that rough start, Sarah "was a very happy child, a real social butterfly," Irene says. And it wasn't just the two of them for long. Irene met John Powers, a U.S. government employee living in London, before Sarah was two. Irene and John married, and John adopted the little blond girl. In 1977 the family– Irene, John, then-five-year-old Sarah and her one-year-old brother, Paul– moved from London to the United States, living first in Virginia, then in California and Texas. During those frequent moves, Sarah made friends easily. But in 1981, when Sarah was 10, the family had had enough moving around and settled in Northern Virginia.
"Sarah liked being around people; she was very outgoing, always laughing," says Irene. "She was a ray of sunshine."
While Sarah, an avid reader and animal lover, remained extroverted– she loved swimming and basketball– her interest in sports waned in her teen years, and she began struggling with her weight.
On her way to church one Sunday morning during her junior year in high school, Sarah was involved in a car accident. Although her injuries were not serious, there was a serious outcome. She fell for a rescue squad volunteer and high school drop-out who had responded to the accident. She followed him to South Carolina the next year. The marriage that began at age 19 lasted less than two years– but another unhappy relationship was on Sarah's horizon.
A history of violence
In 1992, Dale Crawford was getting his first 15 minutes of infamy. When his previous wife, Trish, accused him of spousal rape, Crawford stood trial in South Carolina. Despite a graphic video showing Crawford having sex with Trish while she was bound and blindfolded, a jury agreed with Crawford's attorney that it was a consensual marital sex game.
Crawford and his attorney, Wayne Floyd, went on CNN's Larry King Live to discuss the not-guilty verdict.
"We all talk about the wife being the victim," said Floyd. "Well, in this case, here's the victim– the man, the husband."
Because Crawford was acquitted, the Charlottesville jury wasn't allowed to hear anything about that case. But Sarah knew about it, her mother says.
"He'd been married twice before," says Irene, and her daughter at first believed Crawford's stories, that he was the victim in both relationships. "She would feel sorry for anybody," says Irene.
The parents' first impression of Crawford was not positive.
"He didn't get up off the chair, shake my hand. He couldn't look me in the eye," she recalls. "I had such a bad feeling from day one."
Irene says Crawford rarely kept a job more than a year, and that he and Sarah moved often, keeping Sarah from making good friends or from going back to school, as she frequently talked about doing.
"I did detect some unhappiness," Irene says, but Sarah "wasn't one to pour her troubles out." On one occasion, however, the Powers got a call from one of Sarah's neighbors in South Carolina telling them Sarah was at her house, hiding. "She said, 'You need to get her out of South Carolina as fast as you can; he's threatening to kill her,'" Irene recalls, adding that since she hadn't heard anything that serious from Sarah, she wondered if the neighbor was overreacting.
Whether Crawford was already threatening her or not, Sarah was beginning to take steps to change her life. While some of those changes were internal, one would become immediately apparent to anyone who saw her. While she had long struggled with obesity, during her marriage to Crawford, Irene says, her weight had ballooned to around 300 pounds.
"Deep down, she was unhappy with her life," says Irene.
In early 2002, Sarah called her mother to share some news: she was planning to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It was nearly a year before the family saw her again, when Sarah came home for Christmas in 2002.
"We almost didn't recognize her," says Irene. "She was half of what she'd been." Her parents say she lost at least 150 pounds, and although she underwent further surgery to address the loose skin that occurs after such weight loss, she was healthy enough to make another big decision: to join the Army.
"She thought it would be a good way to get an education and to be away from him, where he couldn't touch her," says Irene. "She would have been stationed in South Korea or Germany."
Sarah left for boot camp in the spring of 2003, but halfway through she injured her back and received a medical discharge. Soon after, she and Crawford moved to Northern Virginia, where he began to work at a car dealership.
"He looked like he was shaping up," Irene says. But after the dealership was sold, Crawford never worked again. Sarah, on the other hand, was doing better than ever.
A petite 5'4", Sarah was now also a slim 124 pounds. She and her mother enjoyed shopping together for the first time. "She'd never been able to wear anything," Irene recalls. "She loved Ann Taylor."
Sarah also had somewhere special to wear her new clothes: a new job.
"Mother hen," is how Mickey Stern describes Sarah, whom he hired as office manager for his Haymarket film company, Base Productions, in 2003.
Sarah was warm and giving with her colleagues, and "very responsible," Stern testified. As she and Stern got to know each other better at work, Sarah increasingly confided in him about her difficult marriage and her intention to leave Crawford.
When Sarah won a protective order against Crawford on November 1, 2004– detailing several episodes in which he allegedly battered and even sexually assaulted her– she told Stern, who offered to give her a desk in the back of the office. However, she chose to stay near the entrance. "She wanted to know if he was coming," Stern said.
Irene Powers says Sarah was like a new person after she started working for Base Productions, which shoots films, including documentaries for National Geographic and A&E network.
"She loved the people there," she says. And Stern in particular, she says, "is genuinely such a nice guy."
Concerned that Crawford had ruined Sarah's credit, and aware that she was taking the difficult step of moving out and into a place of her own, Stern allowed Sarah to use a company credit card and reimburse him later.
One expense Sarah charged: tuition at a Tennessee truck driving school for Crawford.
While Crawford's attorney Lunsford argued in court that the $1,500 charge was another sign that Sarah was still both financially and emotionally invested in the marriage, Irene Powers says the explanation was simple. Sarah just had a "heart of gold," she says, and wanted to make sure Crawford was "set up" as she moved on.
That trait, she believes, is what drew Crawford to her in the first place.
"She was more of a mother than a wife," Irene says.
Connecting the dots
What happened to Sarah between the morning of Friday, November 19, 2004 at 8:30– when her credit card shows she purchased gas in Manassas– and the time her body was discovered in Charlottesville?
Presenting nearly 100 pieces of evidence including chilling crime-scene photographs, and calling more than a dozen witnesses, assistant Commonwealth's attorneys Zug and Platania presented their theory.
They posited that a phone call Sarah made to Crawford the previous night was to arrange a meeting, but not to reconcile. Evidence and testimony showed that Sarah had prepared a document releasing her father from the lease he had co-signed on the apartment she'd shared with Crawford, and that in an effort to free her father from a connection to Crawford, she contacted her ex-husband without anyone's knowledge.
Prosecutors found evidence that Crawford had purchased a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver on November 6, 2004 and that he had purchased ammunition on November 13– less than a week before Sarah died.
Defense attorneys argued that he'd been trying to sell the gun before Sarah was shot, proving he hadn't purchased it with malicious intent. The prosecution, however, suggested that the ammunition was purchased after some discussions about a potential sale.
Sarah's blood was found on the seat covers of her maroon Sonata– the car Crawford was apprehended in– and in addition to her cell phone, a box Sarah had promised to mail was found on the side of a Manassas road with her blood streaked across it.
The evidence, said Platania, suggested strongly that Crawford shot Sarah in northern Virginia and then drove to Charlottesville.
Medical examiner Deborah Kay testified that the bullet that struck Sarah in the upper right side of her chest between her breast and her armpit went through her lung and then severed her spinal cord. While Sarah could have lived "up to an hour," Kay said, she would have been paralyzed instantly.
A Quality Inn employee testified that Crawford had checked in at approximately 11:30am that Friday and that he had asked for a room on "the quiet side" of the motel.
A forensic expert testified that the odds that the semen found on Sarah's body had come from someone other than Crawford were "greater than one in six billion."
If Sarah was shot in her car in Northern Virginia and driven an hour and a half from Manassas to Charlottesville, when did intercourse take place? Why was she found naked and posed in the hotel? And could anyone reasonably believe that Sarah consented to sex with Crawford?
For the first time in a decade, a Charlottesville jury was asked to decide a capital murder case, and a hush fell over the courtroom as the verdict was read. A little over two years ago, another Charlottesville jury found "no malice" in an 18-stab-wound streetside killing of a local firefighter. They found the killer, UVA student Andrew Alston, guilty of only involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced him to three years behind bars. On Friday, February 9, the Crawford case ended differently.
"We the jury find the defendant, Anthony Dale Crawford, guilty of the willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing of Sarah Crawford in the commission of the abduction with the intent to defile Sarah Crawford and in the commission of the rape of Sarah Crawford."
As Judge Edward Hogshire read the verdicts, a slight blush filled Crawford's face. Following the verdict, Irene and John Powers wiped tears away and hugged Zug and Platania, then hugged Charlottesville police officers and members of a group of detectives from Jacksonville, Florida, where Crawford was apprehended.
Jury foreman Jonathan Schnyer says the six men and six women were leaning toward a guilty verdict from the beginning of their deliberations, which began after closing arguments on Thursday, February 8. But with mountains of evidence and four days of testimony to review, the panel deliberated for approximately eight hours.
"It was important to me that we be thorough," Schnyer says, adding that no one piece of evidence sealed Crawford's fate. It was the cumulative effect of the prosecution's evidence that convicted him.
Crawford's videotaped interview with Jacksonville police was significant, Schnyer says, mentioning Crawford's contradictions and the fact that he "showed no remorse."
Another key piece, Schnyer says, was the "consistent clear pattern that Sarah wanted nothing to do with her husband."
Schnyer says he was "offended" by the defense team's claim that she wanted to reconcile, but he says he believes the defense attorneys "were doing the best they could with the facts." But, he adds, "The facts were not in their favor. I think it was their job to raise questions, and they did that."
Defense attorneys Rhonda Quagliana and Denise Lunsford declined comment for this story other than to release a prepared statement noting that the case presented "difficult issues for everyone."
In addition to testimony, Schnyer says the jury got a sense of Sarah's character in another way. In contrast to Crawford, who it appeared was never visited by friend or family in the spectator section, the victim's supporters were numerous.
"You could see that with all the people in the courtroom," says Schnyer. In particular, the jury noticed employer Mickey Stern's daily presence, long after his testimony was finished.
"She made a big impact on these people's lives, I think, because she'd found herself," Schnyer says. "Tragedy doesn't even describe it; it's beyond words."
The jury created a timeline as they deliberated, and soon all 12 concluded there was no question about what happened that day. But Schnyer says their conclusion was so disturbing that they agreed not to discuss the lurid details of the case with the media out of respect for Sarah's parents.
Crawford did "about the most godawful thing that one human being could do to another," he says, "and we don't want to make her parents suffer any more than they already have."
Their verdict did some talking, however. The jury found Crawford guilty of six of the seven counts, including abducting, killing, and raping her, stealing her car, and using a firearm in the commission of an abduction. The one not-guilty verdict– the use of a firearm in the commission of a rape– was perhaps an even grimmer indictment of Crawford's actions.
Zug says he understands their message.
"What they're saying very strongly is that we find, factually, that this rape occurred after she was dead."
While they took nine hours to return the verdicts, the jury took just over an hour to recommend Crawford's sentence: two consecutive life sentences plus 67 years.
One sentencing option never considered was the death penalty, and that, says Irene Powers, was at her and John's request.
"No one has a right to take anybody's life, no matter what," she says. "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Irene says she believes life in prison without possibility of parole is a "fitting punishment" for Crawford.
"I think they should put a projection of her face on his wall so he can see her every day," she says. "Getting executed would be too good for him."
Remembering Sarah
Irene Powers has started a photo collection of Sarah. "I ask everyone to send me their pictures of her," she says.
One such photo is particularly painful, but she looks at it nonetheless. It is a photo of Sarah on Christmas morning, 2003, soon after she was given a package bearing keys to a maroon Hyundai Sonata, the vehicle her parents gave her and in which she would die less than a year later.
"When those keys fell out, she jumped for joy," Irene remembers. "She was wearing tartan slippers and a red sweater, and you could see the big beam on her face."
Other photos show Sarah with her mother in Washington, D.C., at home with her father and brother, and with her cat, and the Powers' Bichon Frise, Chloe.
That the family spent extra time together in the months before Sarah's death offers some comfort to her grieving parents.
In the summer of 2003, Irene says, she flew their son Paul up from Tampa so that he and Sarah could celebrate their August birthdays together. The following spring, Sarah flew to Florida with Crawford to spend more time with her brother.
And Irene, John, and Sarah spent more time together than ever before in the months before she died.
"The three of us would go to Tyson's Corner and have a meal there," says John. "I'm grateful we insisted on doing a lot together."
Irene says Sarah was a huge fan of pop-chef Rachel Ray, and that she had planned to go to a book signing Ray was holding in Northern Virginia. Sarah had become so passionate about cooking, her parents say, she was considering culinary school.
"She'd be telling me what to do with the meat, what not to do with the meat," John laughs, recalling a backyard barbecue.
When she wasn't watching Ray's show on the Food Channel, she was reading– Nora Roberts and Patricia Cornwell were favorite authors– and she loved history. Irene says if it wasn't culinary school, she believes Sarah probably would have gone to college. "I'd helped her research some schools in Virginia," she says.
Crawford ended those dreams for Sarah– and for her parents.
"I put her in a crypt," says Irene. "I couldn't put her in the ground." Instead of the name Crawford, her parents put another name on the plaque: Sarah Louise Powers.
"She was going to go back to her maiden name," says Irene. "She was striving to be her own person."
Sarah was thrilled to receive a new Hyundai Sonata for Christmas in 2003. Less than a year later, her husband killed her in that car.
When Sarah's parents went to her apartment looking for her, they discovered her cat, Sudie (shown here with Sarah), "crying" with no food or water.
Sarah's parents won't say her name loudly in the house since their Bichon Frise, Chloe, still runs to the window looking for her.

This is a great story. It's good to get more perspective on who Sarah Crawford really was, although that makes me feel even angrier about what was done to her. One little knit picky thing though, the writer mispelled Rachael Ray's name.
A very well written article.
Thanks for covering something so horrific with a sense of respect. I truly applaud the jury's decision not to discuss this trial and crime. We need more citizens like this that understand their roles and responsibility as a part of the justice system.
BTW, it is fine with me if you mispell Rachael Ray's name - who the hell cares?
Wonderful coverage, written with compassion. As the mother of one of the prosecutors, I've followed this trial closely and am so happy to see a jury who was willing to mete out a just punishment for horrific crimes. After following the Andrew Alston trial, and being very disappointed with the jury's decision in that case, I truly didn't know what to expect this time around. Thank you and well done, both to the jury members and The Hook for great coverage.
You're welcome.
The thought of this man still existing makes me sick to my stomach.
I was a member of the jury in the Crawford case. Having just re-read the article some 2+ months later, I was once again impressed with how thorough it was, and what a well-rounded (and needed) portrait of Sarah it provided.
A factual correction: the "bloody box" was not found in Manassas, as the story states, but rather in Goldvein, VA, about 33 miles southwest of Manassas (and about 16 miles northwest of Fredericksburg). Based on the evidence, we concluded this was most likely where Sarah was killed--not Manassas.
In my case against Dale Crawford, the jury in SC found it hard to believe that a man could do such a thing to his wife. Even after a very graphic video of what he did to me was shown in open court the jury found him "not guilty". It is important to remember that "not guilty" does not necessarily mean "innocent." To Sarah's family - I tried to stop him before he could hurt someone else.
For his children (son and two daughters) I grieve that this crime will impact their lives forever and for generations to come. I thank God that his mother was deceased before she had to know who he really had become. To Sarah's family - God's purpose is not always clear but I believe he chose Sarah to expose the monstrosity that Dale Crawford is and to keep others safe from him.
For the first time since his crime against me in 1991 I can finally feel safe from him. God have mercy on his soul.
I was the jury foreman, and proud to due my duty with my fellow jurors. I am sorry you had to go through that but glad it can never happen again.
This is such a chilling story. In 2003 right after I graduated from college I took a job with a company that worked closely with the dealership that Dale worked for. I met him and had to deal with him on several occasions. He was not a nice person. After several dealings I asked my boss to assign someone esle to deal with him. The employee who dealt with him after me had problems with him too (sexual harassment). It makes me sick to my stomach knowing what I know now about him. I am relieved that this moster is in jail.
I am related to Mr. Crawford and new Sarah real well. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her greatly. I am sorry that it had to come to this but when drugs and alcohol consume an individual as it did Mr. Crawford eventually there is a tragic outcome. I knew Mr. Crawford when he was clean and he was an intelligent and humorous man. The "awful" side that you hear in this story was not always the case when he was clean. This is not an excuse for what he has done but I just wanted people to know that there was a "good" side to Mr. Crawford. They both will be missed dearly by me.

After three years of work, the papers of legendary dealer André Emmerich and his gallery are now catalogued and available at the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art. (Thank you to Art in America's website for pointing to the news.) The complete papers—including appointment books, correspondence and various records—measure some 300 linear feet and are dated from 1925 to 2008, according to the AAA.
Operating on the Upper East Side, beginning in 1954, Emmerich was a staunch supporter of Color Field painters like Kenneth Noland, Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler. He later moved to the Fuller Building on 57th Street. In 1971, he joined with Leo Castelli, Ileana Sonnabend and Virginia Dwan to open spaces at 420 West Broadway in Soho. He also had a gallery in Zurich for a time.
Emmerich, who died in 2007 at the age of 82, sat down for an interview with the AAA in 1993, which is available online. The papers (organized thanks to support from the Leon Levy Foundation) can be viewed in person at the archives in Washington, D.C. (The list of their contents is lengthy and tantalizing.)
Here's a little snippet of the AAA interview to bring this to a close:
MONA HADLER: Do you have any stories or anecdotes that you'd like to put into the archives of personalities of artists?
MR. EMMERICH: I'll tell you – yes. Yes. I'll tell you a number. One is that I maintain that if you do an autopsy on any artist after their demise, you will find written above their heart the phrase, 'More is never enough.'

Campus Life
Student Panicking Because Not Sure If Able to Top Last Year's Halloween Costume
With the turn of the season, many students are finally beginning to feel comfortable with their new schedules of classes, work, and extracurricular activities. One student, however, has felt anything but calm. While many are enjoying their pumpkin spice lattes and the sight of leaves changing color, junior Makayla Brown has entered into an all-encompassing panic at the fear of not being able to outdo her Halloween costume from the year before.
While Makayla Brown already has plenty on her plate, majoring in neuroscience, marine biology, constitutional democracy, and everything under the sun, Brown can't seem to find anything that takes priority over finding the perfect outfit for October 31st.
"Last year, I was a knockout, and that's me being modest," Brown recalled as she flipped through pages of the Halloween USA catalog. "At this time of last year, I already knew what I was going to be. Hell, I'm pretty sure I knew in June. Now look at me! Where am I ever going to find a costume that tops Jabba the Hutt dressed in John Travola's iconic Saturday Night Fever attire?!"
Brown reportedly made her last Halloween costume from scratch, so as to not show up to the same party in matching costumes as another individual.
"Do you know how embarrassing that'd be?" Brown exclaimed. "At this point I'm going to show up to a Halloween party dressed up just like every other girl in this town! Every year it's just a million girls dressed up like Alfred Hitchcock." Brown scoffed. "How original."
A few of Brown's closest friends recalled last Halloween and Makayla's great success.
"Yeah, I didn't know what she was until she told me like, 5 times," Jason Baxter recalled. "Granted, I had a few pumpkin Jell-O shots in me, but all she was wearing was a green sleeping bag with a face drawn on with Sharpie and a sweater vest from the 60s. She looked like a literal bookworm."
While many college students' favorite holiday is almost here, it is bringing nothing but turmoil into Ms. Brown's stress-filled life.
"What—where is my other lime green fingerless glove!" Brown yelled as she dug through her closet. "I could chew up a bunch of Bubble Yum and use it as my limbs and be the mom from The Incredibles, or I could tear out these floorboards and superglue them to my back and be Rosebud from Citizen Kane! Think Makayla, think!"
After an attempt to sooth Brown with a bowl of candy corn, one of our reporters recommended that she go as a Sexy Cat, where he was then dropkicked off the premises.
It's homecoming season, so get ready for some old dudes to buy you some beer.
