The criminal case of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito is, for all intents and purposes over.
The political circus is just beginning.
October 22, 2012: In an event which sent shock waves around the world, the earth moved in Italy yet again when six Italian seismologists were arrested and charged with manslaughter for not predicting the L'Aquila earthquake. Incredulous experts from around the world testified that earthquakes are scientifically unpredictable at this point in the history of mankind—a fact disputed nowhere on earth, except one Italian courtroom. The scientists were convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison—each. The main damage in this quake was to six innocent seismologists and the justice system of Italy.
Sadly, this is not an isolated anomaly. Italy is displaying with frightening regularity a type of vendetta-based 'justice' many are calling 'medieval.' In 1999, the very same Court of Cassation which failed to accept Knox and Sollecito's proven innocence, ruled in a rape case that women wearing tight jeans cannot be raped. This was not the decision of a little back-water town judge remember, this was the Italian Supreme Court. The logic was based on the apparently inescapable conclusion that tight jeans could not be removed from a woman by an attacker. I suppose their conclusion is that man can predict earthquakes, but it is a physical impossibility for him to remove a woman's jeans. The court ruled tight jeans could not be removed "…without the collaboration of the person wearing them." I'm not making this up.
In the Knox/Sollecito case, a prosecutor (Giuliano Mignini) under indictment (ultimately convicted and sentenced to 16 months in prison) created an incredibly complex, imagination-based case against two innocent kids in order to, according to many experts, shield himself from conviction or even further prosecution. During the Italian Inquisition of the 15th and 16th centuries, the main charges besides heresy were sorcery, immorality and witchcraft. And Mignini's allegations against Knox? She was a "strega" (witch) and she engaged in "satanic sex rituals." Sounds vaguely familiar, no? Also familiar is the fact that no evidence existed to support the claims of either the inquisition or Mignini. Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Mignini lied about evidence in public, violated any rule of evidence which did not support his case (in reality, nothing supported his case) and got a conviction he apparently hoped would raise no eyebrows. He was wrong.
When the case was appealed--almost automatic in Italy, where half of all cases are reversed on appeal--the first action of the appeals court was to order that Mignini's "evidence" be reviewed by independent experts. Italy is not completely devoid of honorable justices; they are simply in the minority. The judge in this appeal had to be imported from northern Italy near Austria in the hopes that he would be free of bias. He was. He not only allowed modern science into the courtroom, he ordered it there.
But in Italy, as opposed to most democracies, a prosecutor can appeal even a "not guilty" verdict. In Italy, a prosecutor can keep re-trying a case until he gets a conviction. This '2 out of 3' jurisprudence results in a kind of "rock, paper, scissors" legal system, where even evidence as solid as a rock can be rendered moot by a single sheet of paper. Mignini appealed the 'innocente' verdict, and the Court of Cassation rendered a verdict as stunning in its ignorance as the failure to predict the earthquake decision.
At this moment, news outlets are providing incomplete or inaccurate information on the case. To set the record straight, I would like to point out certain facts which are true at this moment:
Amanda and Raffaele's exonerations have not been vacated. By Italian law, they are still adjudicated innocent persons.
No retrial has yet been ordered.
Not until the Court of Cassation releases their "Motivations" document in approximately 70 days or so will any decision have the affect of law. Retrial is a possibility, of course, but so is limited re-examination of certain pieces of evidence not already reviewed by the independent authority. There is no indication that the court has in any way challenged the validity of the independent authority's review of the main pieces of discredited 'evidence' which led to the exoneration in the first place.
A retrial would be removed from the feudal, Mignini-controlled town of Perugia, and placed in Florence. Perugia has the judicial integrity of 1963 Selma, Alabama. Knox and Sollecito's exonerations on appeal were only possible because a judge and jury were brought in from out of town due to the bias of the locals.
Regardless of the outcome of the trial, however, not a soul seriously believes that Amanda Knox will ever spend another day in an Italian prison. Double jeopardy, corrupt prosecutors, absence of witnesses or credible evidence, perjury by the police, and the requirement that Giuliano Mignini present his case in an American federal court (which actually requires evidence, truth, and fairness) make the prospect of extradition at the request of a kangaroo court the stuff of Mignini's dreams.
Pratillo Hellman, the judge in the Knox/Sollecito appeal stands by his and the jury's unanimous decision to exonerate Knox and Sollecito, saying that there was absolutely no evidence of the involvement of the two in the crime. He also stated that he expected that the court of cassation would overturn his verdict, due to its close ties with the prosecutor.
Ultimately, regardless of the results of this modern inquisition, Amanda will never serve another unfair day in an Italian prison. The case, therefore has significance only to certain people:
1. Prosecutor Mignini, still trying valiantly to clear his name of malfeasance and false prosecution charges while waiting on his retrial decision.
2. The sadly deceived family of the innocent victim who have put their faith in a crooked prosecutor and a carnivorous Italian lawyer desperate for a share of a settlement from the wealthy Sollecito family.
3. The sadly imbalanced, anonymous, basement-dwelling anti-Knox bloggers in Great Britain and America who have drunk the Kool-Aid of the prosecutor to the dregs and are focused more on hate than justice. This case will, for several more years give imagined purpose to their otherwise sad existence.
4. Raffaele Sollecito, who is at this writing still a citizen of Italy and vulnerable to the whims of a judiciary largely based on innuendo.
In case the reader perceives this article as an indictment of Italy or the Italian people, let me assure you that is not the case. Since the appalling ruling came down, I have received texts, phone calls, E-mails and social media communications from prominent, published Italian forensic scientists, professors, DNA specialists, criminal profilers and lawyers, decrying the decision and offering their pro-bono assistance to the Knox family. Indeed, after the exoneration of Knox in October, 2011, I spent two days with Amanda in Italy and witnessed an almost non-stop stream of Italian citizens apologizing (sometimes tearfully) for what happened to her. They hugged, they kissed and they smiled. They know what its like to live under that system. The Italian people deserve a better justice system. They deserve more Judge Hellmans.
Amanda can't do that. She has to spend money to defend her name. It's just a shame that two innocent kids got robbed. Again. It took the Russian referees three tries to steal the honest victory from the Americans in Munich. It may take even longer for the Italians to steal Amanda and Raffaele's "innocence." That's the sad part. Nobody but the Russians doubt that the Americans won the 1972 Olympic Gold Medal, and nobody but Italians, the ignorant and the malignant doubt that Amanda and Raffaele are innocent.
Are they corrupt?
It seems to me that they just didn't have the balls.

To what lengths the self-promotion of the fund industry?
For one company this week, the answer: See some research you don't like. Challenge the research on the merits. Make sure you get in a subtle attack on the motives of the Ph.D. economist author.
Hector McNeil, co-CEO of the U.K.-based leveraged ETF maker Boost ETP, last night slammed a research paper by Federal Reserve economist Tugkan Tuzun as "a head-line grabber," as if to suggest insincerity. Tuzun, recall, is the author of a paper theorizing leveraged ETFs' portfolio rebalancing could accelerate a market selloff.
McNeil's Op-Ed on Index Universe starts off pretty unobjectionably. It argues Tuzun's "Are Leveraged and Inverse ETFs the New Portfolio Insurers?" is wrong on the merits, marshalling observations and citing industry and academic research. Fair enough.
Then it goes on to assert that Tuzun's work, especially the paper's title, which references the 1980s portfolio insurance thought to have worsened the 1987 Black Monday selloff, is "clearly designed to grab attention rather than add anything to the analysis."
This, without bothering to explain why a comparison to similarly mechanical strategies from years past contributes nothing, or how this insight into an obscure Fed economist's motives was obtained.
Is Tuzun's paper provocative? Sure. Are leveraged ETFs not as dangerous as the paper theorizes? I certainly think they're not. Does this paper damage the reputation and sales prospects of leveraged ETFs? Probably.
Is the publication of this research paper intended to grab attention and sensationalize? I don't think anybody can prove that.
Here we have a fund executive — a member of a group that may be more or less known for its selfless, truth-telling altruism than, say, Fed staff economists — confidently declaring it in public to be true.
Are we really at the point where fund marketers feel comfortable impugning others for purportedly impure or self-interested motives? Yes, precisely that. And then some. A company that creates press releases like "Boost WTI Oil 3x Leverage Daily ETP (3OIL) the top performing ETP on the LSE in July" is accusing somebody else of trying to grab headlines.
I should point out that I'm with McNeil on the merits. The best research on this subject shows there's little to no evidence leveraged ETFs are having much of any real-world impact on the market, whatever the theory suggests. I wrote as much in a column a few weeks back.
I emailed McNeil's spokeswoman to ask how this insight into a random Fed staffer's motives was obtained, since it's not explained. As of this blog post's publication time, I've gotten no response.
(I'll update if and when I do). Read Boost's response and an update here.
In the meantime, I can tell you this much: The Fed has been declining requests for on-the-record interviews with Tuzun about this paper, probably in part because it doesn't reflect official Fed policy. It's just one researcher's work. So the insight into Tuzun's mental calculations probably didn't come from the author.
You could ask who's got more skin in the game — an executive of a startup in a multibillion dollar industry, or some random economist. You could then make a hypothesis about why certain parties are impugning the motives of others. You'd still be just at "hypothesis."
Instead of guessing at intent, leave it at this: The fund industry these days is cramming the phone lines, filling up Twitter feeds and spamming out email for any advantage selling their product. Things have gotten a bit out of hand if the industry thinks a public attack on a little-known Fed researcher helps keep up its good name.

Sun's Recommendations Carousel: Results and Learnings
By Gary Zellerbach on Jan 26, 2010
In September, 2009, we released version 2.0 of the Sun Machine Learning Engine (SMILE), Sun's own advertising-oriented predictive analytics system. The primary customer facing manifestation of v2.0 is the yellow-bordered SMILE Recommendations "Carousel," which you see on many sun.com web pages:
As it's been more than four months since its release, I'll present some of the measured results. Overall, we've been very pleased with the value delivered by the carousel. (There have been some negative reactions, too, but I think that's to be expected when introducing highly-visible new advertising into the mix. More on that later...)
Bottom line, the carousel has exceeded our expectations and far outperformed the small ads we displayed using SMILE v1. Ads (also referred to as "recommendations") in the carousel were clicked by our visitors as often as one million times per week, yielding an average click through rate of over 3.6% (and the rate was much higher even on some sections of the site as opposed to others, depending on the audience). If you're familiar with online display advertising, you'll know that's a pretty phenomenal CTR, and we attribute it to the effectiveness of the SMILE analytics and recommendation engine, strong inventory of content and offers, and highly visible placement.
Clicking on an ad, though, is just the start, so we also measure what happens next, our so-called "key success metrics." These include:
- Downloads Initiated
Many ads point to either the Sun Download Center (encouraging visitors to get our free software) or specific software downloads, and SMILE drives on average 14-16,000 downloads per week. This is very beneficial, as getting our software in customers' hands is often their first real engagement with Sun.
- Offers Obtained
We provide many white papers that require simple registration or login to obtain, and the carousel often advertises and links to these offers (here's an example offer). They provide valuable contacts and leads to our Sales team, and SMILE drives on average 6-7,000 of these new contacts per week.
- TeleWeb Success
Here we measure how many visitors initiate a contact using the "TeleWeb widget" (pictured at right) after clicking a SMILE recommendation. Each such contact has a significant potential sales value (that we've measured accurately over time), so it's significant that SMILE delivers 100 or so contacts each week.
- Sun Startup Essentials (SSE) Applications Submitted
The SSE program is a win-win for Sun and startup companies, providing great value to each over the long run. SSE created a number of SMILE ads, and they perform very well, driving up to 25% of the weekly applications received into the program.
We measure many other variables and events, and in fact, thanks to recent enhancements, can now do closed-loop reporting with some of our Tele-Sales teams. This takes reporting one step further, providing the actual potential dollar value driven by SMILE. Here's how it works: When contacting a lead generated through a SMILE click, sales reps enter into their CRM system an estimate as to the potential value of the lead. This doesn't include all leads generated, as they go to different teams, and not all of them have enabled closed-loop reporting. There is also a time lag between lead generation, dissemination, contact, and possible assignment of marketing pipeline value into the system. Even with those caveats, SMILE generated over $2,500,000 in potential leads value in December, 2009, alone! This is a great example of our push towards measurable, "deterministic" marketing and how we can realistically start to calculate ROI on this project.
Our real-world experience also comes with customer feedback, and we see room for improvement in the following areas:
- First, do a better job of surfacing and explaining how the carousel and the recommendations work. The info has always been there but was "buried" on the All Recommendations Page. We would like to add an "About Recommendations" link to the bottom border of the carousel so that curious and/or concerned (with privacy) visitors can easily learn more about the program, how it works, and how we handle privacy related matters. The link would go to the bottom of the All Recommendations page where we've recently added a new section on recommendations, privacy, and program FAQs.
- When a visitor closes the carousel, it stays closed for the duration of the browser session. But for users who visit often, this was inadequate. We would like to implement a different solution that keeps the carousel closed longer for users who don't wish to view it.
- Due to an initial basic mapping system between images, products, and ads, we sometimes show duplicate images and/or lack image variety. We've been adding new images to the system to address this.
- There are a few more simple enhancements that will also increase variety in the carousel, such as not showing slight ad variations for the same product or offer at the same time, and eliminating ads that link to the page the user is already on.
- Lastly, on the back-end, we continue to refine and enhance the recommendation engine and methodologies with a goal of always increasing the relevancy of the ads to our visitors.
Will these enhancements see the light of day? Some decisions are pending the closure of the Oracle acquisition, so time will tell.
Regardless of what happens, though, I hope this information helps convey the strong results the program has produced, the success of our predictive technology, how it can be further improved, and the promise such systems hold for the future.

Another great Puma!
"I love this shoe! It's so cute and very comfy. I'd say it runs pretty true to size and is a little narrow like a lot of Pumas. I purchased it in a 7.5, and I usually wear a 7 in most shoes. However, I do usually need to size up in athletic shoes and sneakers. I generally wear a 7 to a 7.5 in Pumas. In their ballet flat styles I go with a 7. These sneakers are nice and neutral; so they go with everything. But they come with an extra pair of turquoise shoelaces just in case you want to liven them up. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for working out -- they are more for daily wearing as a cute but casual shoe. They look great with a skinny jean or a cord."

They can be dressed up or down and I love that they fit my feet perfectly. My boyfriend bought a similar pair in men's and loves them, said they feel like 'feathers'."

Posted on 06/13/2013 10:07:58 PM PDT by Zhang Fei
The bicyclist doesnt remember seeing the youths run at him as he pedaled home late Tuesday afternoon on the Metropolitan Branch Trail, but he certainly recalls one knocking him off his bike and at least a dozen others piling on, punching and kicking him in the head.
What the 37-year-old cant understand is why they did it. They didnt take his $500 bicycle. They ignored his cellphone. They didnt want the $20 in his wallet. In fact, the victim said, I didnt hear a word.
And the lack of apparent motive is haunting the married father of two, who uses the trail regularly to bike between his office in the NoMa section of the District and his house in Silver Spring.
The randomness of the attack near Third and S streets NE and near the location of a surge of violent robberies two years ago has made him more scared and more angry and left him wondering whether its time to give up pedal power in his commute.
I would be fine if they took my things, that I understand, said the man, recovering at home from broken bones above his left eye and bruises too numerous to count. But violence for violences sake is troubling.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
No sir, whats troubling is that your government disarmed you so the third world could rape your wife, but it was you on the bike this time.
"It doesn't fit the lies & disinformation I've been fed my whole life."
Good thing he was armed. Ooops! Never mind. It's d.c. where self defense is a no no. Wouldn't want to hurt the perps feelings now would we. They're just doing their thang.
He shoulda activated his white privilege and made them run. Cuz we can do all sorts of things with our superpower. But he didn't... Libs taught him using his powers like that was bad.
We do have them don't we?
We're not allowed to say that feral Negro youth are playing the knockout game. We can't mention that they are feral and uncivilized barbarians. We can't say that they are uncivilized savages. There's so much we aren't allowed to say. So instead, we have to hear hand wringing about what motivates unspecified people to do these acts of violence. As if there is an acceptable motive, if only we knew what it was.
Well, doesn't sound like what happened to him is too far removed from what he's willing to tolerate.
But violence for violences sake is troubling.
Another clueless idiot.
Wait till the government thugs get a hold of him.
Feral youts, just out for a bit of the old ultraviolence.
Gonna be hell when the Droogs really do form.
"Youths" from NE D.C. - surprise, surprise, surprise.
You mean like Wonder Woman's bracelets? Those were cool.
Pay back for acts committed long before any of us were born.
"I didn't make eye contact."
That's zoo etiquette. Baboons consider eye contact to be aggression.
With inner city yutes yer supposed to wink and nod, and a friendly finger wave, followed by a holster thumb-snap pop.
How do you get that dumb?......
this guy is an idiot....can't see the forest for the trees....
Nah man...Its in the SKIN!!!! It s our mutant ability to dominate and oppress! It makes white peepZ tEh AweSomZ!!!
DC is ruled by Azathoth.
Azahoth the "blind, formless darkness" in Lovecraft novels? That description fits a a particular politician I know
Nobody is this stupid. I wouldn't doubt it if he mentioned the other incidents of this nature happening across the US and the Washington Post just chose not to publish it. Just as they chose not to describe the perps.
Against a dozen "youths" in a ten round magazine zone.
Well crap! Now someone tells me that I didn't really have to work hard all those years by simply using my white privilege so I could retire half way comfy? Man do I feel like I'm from Dumbassistan. LOL!
this guys sounds like he's liberal. As a good liberal, he can't comprehend being attacked by savage minority youth. After all, he's on their side, sympathetic to how the man and the system have kept them down and all that. He probablt felt immune to attack due to being liberal.
Thats the evil plot of the libs! Why do you think they put so much effort into minimizing white people and teaching kids how evil we are? to suppress our natural superpowers!
I'm on to their dastardly plan. So if I disappear, the world will know the truth!
You just need to wear your cracker on your sleeve. Dont-cha-know
Those of us from Krypton have them. Sorry to those that don't.
Yep. Chaos and madness.
But we don't HAVE to be sorry! We are white. So we oppress and dominate! That's the beauty of the superpower!
It's not racist. Libs tell us that every day and libs never lie so we can say it.
what you said!
He can't think of a reason? Talk about a poster boy for Darwin. On any number of levels, the clueless enable the vermin. How does *that* help the environment?
Being locked in an SUV is looking pretty good now, huh, Libby?
Yes, they are. I associate with Liberals every day. They really ARE that stupid. I've just given up and decided they are beyond help.
I would be fine if they took my things, that I understand, said the man,
I wonder if he would understand if they took his life.
Is that why my power to make libs heads explode when they tell a lie?
They are NOT what you called 'feral and uncivilized barbarians' or 'uncivilized savages', That would make them UNUSUAL, these b@stards are the NORMAL BLACK YOUTH, the ones who DON'T ACT THIS WAY, are the unusual ones.
Look at travon marton-spelled wrong to show my DISRESPCT for him- he would be alive if he didn't start a fight.
It's a natural byproduct. I can prove it. Simply walk into any college or coffee shop wearing a Reagan/Flag shirt. Libs will start screaming without you saying a word.
If the X-men taught us anything it's that people fear that which they do not understand. And God knows libs fear EVERYTHING ;)
I guess now he's dazed *AND* confused! :)
There are too many people who remain children by choice, as if self-inflicted cluelessness absolves them of any accountability in life. When reality comes down hard and without mercy, instead of casting off the delusions, they double down on stupid. Anything but electing to grow up. The Bible calls them the simple.
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
This sounds like a craft project. Take a saltine and glue a safety pin to the back. Affix to the lapel.
Note the reactions.
We certainly don't want for you to be troubled, now do we? So why don't you take a good long look in the mirror, and recall what you can about the appearance of your assailants. Now can you think of a much more likely reason that you were attacked than "for violence's sake"?
(Yes, I am reading between the lines, and I might be wrong, but I used to live in D.C. I left.)
They say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, but that requires that the muggee have a measurable IQ.
Lol! The as* kicking the left needs is fast approaching.
Lots of stupid, gentrifying liberals will learn about this game soon enough.
Since it has become so cool for millennials to move back to the city, they can learn all about this firsthand.
The 3-S treatment comes to mind with this stuff.
As his head was being beaten to a pulp, I wonder if he begged for mercy by assuring them — truthfully — that he had voted for obama twice?
He could understand if they stole his stuff just to make things more "equal," but he cannot fathom why they failed to recognize him as one of the "good guys." Don't they know he voted for Obama?
Excellent comment,rd.
If he listens to any MSM, he knows nothing about it. I guess he knows now.
This guy sounds like such a frikkin' wimp! He almost sounds like he thinks it was somehow his fault.
Something like this would make me go Charles Bronson pretty thoroughly.
Yeah, right. This guy probably wasn't fag'n. Good grief, a closet get's a beating. That's the snoozin' newsssss....
This is just one small action in the "Bloody Kansas" pre-civil war before the Second U.S. Civil War.
In other words, a preview of coming attractions.
Are you prepared?

If it had a carry strap it would be perfect
"Surprisingly good looking and feeling for the price point Not so studded that it will last only the season--slightly timeless quality to it. Minor nick to the piping edge but its to the interior and Im guessing im the only one who will ever notice it. If this had a strap so you could carry it over your shoulder or even as a wristlet, it would be perfect."

The second owner, Mary Alice Curts-Black purchased the home in 1894 and did an extensive renovation including adding the porches. Ernest Coeur was the third owner (1943) followed by his son, Dr. James Coeur (1973) who did additional updates.

Who said you have to be in the dark to enjoy astronomy? Turning your pair of binoculars to the Sun is fun and educational. Watch the march of giant sunspots, the clouds of glowing vapor in the photosphere, and solar "granulation" detail. But be sure to protect your precious vision with a safe Orion Full Aperture glass Solar Filter Set for Binoculars! Looking at the Sun without a set, even for an instant, can permanently damage your eyes.
These full-aperture optical glass binocular filters deliver superb, white-light views of the Sun, without risk to your eyes. While more expensive than Mylar or film filters, Orion glass solar filters provide better contrast, a more pleasing and natural yellow-orange color, and are more durable. They are ideal to use with your binoculars for safe views of our Sun.
The glass filter elements are machine-ploished and triple-coated with an advanced nickel-chromium stainless steel alloy for a scratch-resisitant surface. The filter passes only a fraction of the incoming light, rejecting harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Each filter is mounted in an aluminum cell that slide-fits over the front objective lenses of your binoculars. Three nylon thumbscrews can be tightened to ensure a safe, snug fit to the front of your binoculars. The thumbscrews complement the press-fit foam lining inside the durable aluminum filter cell. A tight friction-fit is still required for safe solar viewing through a pair of binoculars.
Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.
