If Apple rumors were songs, the Wall Street Journal would be Justin Bieber. (That kid's still big, right?) The News Corp-owned financial paper is out with another hit today, this time reporting that Apple has placed orders with "Asian suppliers" for iPhone screens that measure "at least" 4-inches diagonally. All past versions of the iPhone have a 3.5-inch display.
Update: Reuters is now reporting the same details as WSJ, adding further credence to the possibility of a 4-inch iPhone coming later this year. Of course, Reuters also cites unnamed sources, so all of this could very well be coming from the same person/people.
According to WSJ's sources, Apple has begun doing business with a number of different screen makers, including LG, which is based in South Korea, and two Japanese companies: Sharp and Japan Display, a newly formed company created by three other companies and the Japanese government.
Apple is expected to release the next version of its iPhone — whatever it will be called — sometime this fall, probably in September or October, which would match up with last year's iPhone 4S release.
The jump in screen size — a move that many expected to have seen in the iPhone 4S — is said to be in response to stiffer competition from the likes of Samsung, which currently produces the most absurdly gigantic handsets on the planet, like the recently unveiled 4.8-inch Galaxy S3, and the hilarious 5.3-inch Galaxy Note smartphone-tablet hybrid.
Samsung recently surpassed Apple to become the world's preeminent smartphone maker. (Though Apple remains the world's most valuable company overall.) And many other Android handset makers also offer phones with 4-inch-plus screens.
Of course, anytime someone says that Apple is creating a product in response to its competitors, it's time to put on your skepticism hat. As analyst Nobuo Kurahashi of Mizuho Investors Securities tells WSJ: "The smartphone market has become diverse, but the iPhone still sets the agenda." Kurahashi adds that it is not simply the screen that makes Apple's iPhone popular; it's the entire user experience.
Regardless of whether the next iPhone has a 3.5-inch screen, a 4-inch screen, or a freakin' Tupac hologram emulator, Apple needs to hit it out of the park. The iPhone is Apple's cash cow, having played a primary part in pushing the company's revenues to $46.33 billion for the quarter that ended in March. With many still watching to see whether Apple CEO Tim Cook can maintain the glory run started by Steve Jobs, there is no room for error with the iPhone.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Jimmy Lisowski hurled a four-hit complete-game shutout to help the Springfield College baseball team to a 1-0 victory over MIT in game one of a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference doubleheader at SC's Berry-Allen Field this afternoon. In game two, MIT defeated Springfield, 13-6. With the split, Springfield is now 8-17 overall, 4-7 in the NEWMAC. MIT moves to 10-10 overall, and finishes 6-6 in the conference.
Lisowski, a sophomore left-hander, picked up his third victory in seven decisions in the first game. He gave up only four hits, all singles, walking three and striking out 11 in the 7-inning contest. Junior Jay Turner (4-2) turned out to be the hard-luck loser for the Engineers. He gave up only three hits and one unearned run, walking none while striking out five.
The only run of the opening tilt came in the second inning. With one out, sophomore designated hitter Ryan Tatreau grounded one back to the pitcher, who threw it away and enabled Tatreau to race all the way to third. The next batter, junior second baseman Tim Romeo then grounded to the third baseman, who also threw it away. The back-to-back throwing errors resulted in the game's only run.
The only player on either side to have more than one hit was Springfield sophomore shortstop Jamie Mackie, who finished 2-for-3. MIT did make it interesting in the top of the seventh. The Engineers put runners on first and third on a pair of singles with one out. With freshman second baseman Ben Bersanti at the plate, MIT elected to get the run home via suicide squeeze. But Lisowski's pitch was well outside, and Bersanti could not get the bunt down. The runner was then tagged out attempting to scamper back to third. Meanwhile, the runner on first had moved up to second. But with the tying run on second with two outs, Bersanti then lined out to right field to end it.
The second game was much more of a slugfest. For MIT, two pitchers combined to give up six runs on nine hits. Sophomore right-hander Matt Loper pitched the first five innings to pick up the win (2-1). He gave up five runs on eight hits, striking out four and walking four. He received excellent relief work from sophomore right-hander Kevin Foley, who gave up just one run on one hit in the final four innings.
The losing pitcher for the Pride was senior Bob Schiaroli, who went the first four innings. He gave up eight runs on 10 hits, walking five and striking out two. Junior left-hander Michael Searles hurled the next three innings, and freshman right-hander Ryan White the final two.
The score was 4-4 after two innings, but MIT scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by sophomore third baseman Stephen Toth. MIT then scored five more runs in the top of the fifth inning to put it away. Big hits in the frame included a two-run home run by sophomore right-fielder Chris D'Annunzio, and a two-run single by senior center-fielder Jason Witzberger.
MIT added one more in the sixth, and two more in the eighth. Four players had three hits each for the Engineers, including Witzberger, Toth, freshman shortstop Stewart Park, and sophomore catcher Steven Nunez. The Engineers pounded out 17 hits all told, 15 of which were singles.
Springfield plays at Clark in its final NEWMAC regular-season game, Tuesday, at 3:30 p.m. If the Pride win that game, it will be seeded fifth and play at Babson in the NEWMAC Tournament that begins on Thursday. If SC loses, it will be seeded sixth and will play at MIT on Thursday.
MIT will play at WPI on Sunday at 12 noon. Please note that game is an added non-conference game.

This past Saturday afternoon, with the temperature nudging 100°, I went up to Two Trees Farm in Bridgehampton to stand out in the blazing sun to join six other volunteers collecting the $20 parking fees from everybody driving into the Bridgehampton Polo event that day.
It seemed like a crazy thing to be doing in that heat. But Bridgehampton Polo had graciously offered to donate the proceeds of the parking fees this year to the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center, whose board of directors I am on, and to get this donation we would need a minimum of six volunteers at each of the six Saturdays that this event takes place between 2:30 and 5:30 pm.
Six times six times three hours is almost 100 hours of work. There was no way I could not volunteer. And members of the staff and the advisory board and the board of directors all did. We would be on a dusty driveway, stopping cars, telling them it was $20 for the parking, and collecting the cash. There would be about 1,000 cars. You can see this was very much worth doing.
Early in the day, after the previous day's temperature topped 100 (and felt like 112), setting all sorts of records, I did think they might cancel polo. But they did not. We all got an e-mail about 11 a.m. from Bonnie Cannon, the director of the Child Care Center, that the matches would begin at 5 instead of 2:30 so as to be more bearable for all, particularly the horses. However, it would still be necessary for us to show up at 2:30 because many people would not have gotten this message and would have come anyway at that time. We'd tell them to turn around and come back later or, alternatively, come on in and pay the $20, since that's what they planned to do and since the polo itself was only sort of secondary to the see-and-be-seen quality of the day under the giant tent farther up the dirt road. The party could begin at 2:30 anyway, the polo would just be later. [expand]
When my wife and I arrived, wearing hats and shorts and with bottles of drinking water and lots of suntan lotion, we found there were not six volunteers there, there were eight. They included myself, my wife Chris who is on the advisory board, Kayce Freed Jennings who is also on the advisory board, our director Bonnie Cannon, her mother Gloria, Bonnie's grown son Spencer, Spencer's friend Kendall Edwards, Robin Gianis, a schoolteacher at Bridgehampton High School who has a child at the Child Care Center and Robin's friend Jennie.
For those not familiar with where the polo takes place, it is at Two Trees Farm on Hayground Road, and there is a dirt road that goes a quarter of a mile behind the farmhouse to where we were set up in the middle of a field, and then further on, another quarter mile, it leads to the polo field, spectator tents and the VIP tents. It is there that the afternoon festivities take place every Saturday during the heart of the summer.
For this reason, from where we stood midway along, we could see the cars coming from far off. There were sometimes long lines of them, and when there were, all of us would snap to attention when they arrived and go to the windows of all the cars all at the same time, some of us walking down the road a bit to the cars in the back while waving other cars to the rest of our group farther along. In every case, we would hand stuff out to those arriving—info about the Child Care Center and several magazines and newspapers—and we would welcome the drivers and their passengers to the event and ask for the parking fee, good all day, just $20 for everybody in the car.
I have to say that this was so much fun that all of us forgot about the sun and the blazing heat once the cars started coming. I wouldn't say that if my job were a day-to-day car parker—but for one day? We were a team, we worked together and we all kind of bonded. And if one of us, at 5 p.m., did get a little sunstroke and had to quit, it was all still pretty amazing, because we got to see and interrelate with all who were coming to the event, whether we knew them or not, and whether they wanted to meekly hand over the 20 bucks or wanted to give us a hard time about it.
What a challenge that was. I think we have all done this at one time or another—it's a variation on the phrase "I'm with the band" to get out of paying an admission fee of some kind—and we all rather forgave them and I would say about half of them were willing and about half weren't. And when we got done with them, very politely, about three quarters of them paid and about a quarter didn't.
It is necessary to point out that from the drivers' point of view, although it was clear in the program that there was a $20 parking charge, there was no sign where we were standing halfway up the dirt road that this was the place to pay it. So we'd wave and ask them to pull over, and it was a kind of friendly hijack from their perspective and a kind of big smile and "here's the story" from ours.
"I would have to go to my ATM," one woman said as she emptied her bag. "I could go out and come back or I could go later and give it to you after the event."
"Just bring it to me later." I waved her through. Don't want to slow things down. And of course I knew she was not coming back after the event.
"I'm a guest of a sponsor."
"Well, it's still 20 dollars to park your car," I said. She paid.
One dusty old car pulled up, there was a middle-aged man in it, and when I said "Welcome to Bridgehampton Polo and it's $20 for parking for the day," he reached over to the passenger's seat and lifted up a shirt with alternating black and white stripes on it. That was enough for me. An umpire.
"Just head right in, sir."
He headed off, his car, as with every car, raising dust. (A tank truck with a water sprinkler on the back came through several times during the day to keep the dust down, and it did help.)
We did have our problems, though, particularly when we'd spread out down the road to take care of a whole herd of cars coming in. For example, when the herd would start through, we'd point to one of our volunteers farther on, and they'd drive farther on, but the volunteer farther on would wave them on through because they thought the pointing meant they were "okay." We changed some hand signals to fix that.
Each of us, one at a time, learned another lesson when we stopped a taxicab coming up. Taxicabs drop off and pick up, they don't park. Oh.
Bonnie organized us into a sort of factory assembly line. There were two of us working at any one time as "assemblers," sitting on stacks of magazines under a small shade tent—there was a tent—putting together the magazines and brochures from the Child Care Center into bundles to be handed to the front line. The front line consisted of two people, Kayce on one side of the street for the entire time without a break, and Bonnie on the other side. They collected the cash, then calling up the reinforcements behind them when more collectors were needed for the herds of cars.
The cars tended to be in three different categories. There were the families, usually in old minivans—the parents in the front, the kids strapped in the back—and they rarely gave us an argument, opening their wallets to give us the $20 without complaint.
A second group was those connected with the putting on of the event. These were the workers in the farm trucks, drivers in horse trailers, polo players with friends in fancy cars, members of the press, sponsors of the event with blue VIP passes on the dashboards. We would wave them through.
The third category was where it got complicated. These were the great many people, wealthy people, driving convertibles and other expensive cars with the cars all detailed and shined up for the occasion. Those inside were fashionably dressed—the older men in whites, the women, old and young, dressed to kill in low-cut dresses and jewels, the young men all slender and handsome with those three-day beards. And yet, with frighteningly large regularity, many of them having no legitimate reason not to pay the $20—declared they didn't have to pay nevertheless.
"I'm a guest of one of the sponsors," one told me.
"It's $20 to park your car," said I, carrying my brochures and looking in at all the mahogany and leather. "And it all goes to the Bridgehampton Child Care Center." The car, a Maserati, its top down, remained idling. That was not the end of the conversation. "It's all for charity, all to the Bridgehampton Child Care Center," I would try. "One hundred cents on the dollar of the profits."
They just stared at me. I gave up. "Go ahead," I said, waving them on.
It seemed to me, the more expensive the car the prettier the girl, and the harder it was to get the money from the driver.
"I don't pay. Give a call to what's-her-name, Sheila I think her name is, from Palm Beach, who runs the place."
I was giving up.
"Go on through."
Bonnie, I thought, being Director of the Child Care Center, was a much better salesman than I was. She was really raking it in.
"You need to be tougher," she told me. "But keep smiling."
The worst was a guy who stopped when I asked him to, pointed to the car in front of him when I looked in, and said, "I'm with him," and roared off.
A well-to-do husband and wife team who are friends of mine drove up in a bright red convertible sports car. They were all dressed up for the day, and I approached the wife on the passenger's side and told her I'd take care of the $20 because they were friends and sometime donors to the Child Care Center, while my wife approached the driver and asked for the $20, which the husband gave her.
"How did you get that?" I asked as she waved it in the air.
"She's prettier than you," the driver shouted.
About a quarter to five, some farmhands led groups of polo ponies past us and up toward the playing field. The horses, trotting along, were just so beautiful, and seemed so alert and excited about what would soon transpire. At ten after five, we began to hear cheering and things being said over a loudspeaker. The match, apparently, was about to begin.
At around six, there were almost no more cars coming in. We packed up and left. My wife and I then went home, jumped in the pool, showered, changed and went out to a dinner party. It was a very good day's work.
The Bridgehampton Child Care Center sits on six acres of land on the Sag Harbor Turnpike. It offers day care, after-school activities, lectures, a sandbox play area, basketball courts, computer classes, field trips, college scholarships, Black History Night, Dia de Los Ninos, yoga, play periods and, at this time of year, a summer camp.
Next Saturday, some of us will be there again and there will be others from the community, the Center and the board and advisory council too. Bonnie and Co. will be there again, no doubt. She's quite a woman. If you want to donate a check to the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center, the address is at the end of this article. Otherwise, when you come to polo, we're gonna get you.
The Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center, 551 Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton, NY 11932, 631-537-0616, www.bhccrc.com. Mailing address: P.O. Box 1197, Bridgehampton, NY 11932. [/expand]

Kind Coffee owner Amy Hamrick and Teresa Flicek look through Hamrick's book of people who have helped clean up the coffee shop after the flooding. Twenty-five percent of sales of Kind Coffee's new blend will go to the Town of Estes Park Flood Releaf Fund, started by Susie Masterson of the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce.
Estes Park business owners and others scoop and blast mud from a parking lot on East Elkhorn Avenue on Wednesday. While some worry about applying more water to town streets and lots, businesses want to clean up before visitors return to Estes Park.
Julie Pieper shows the effects of long days of recovery from last week's flood. Pieper, co-owner of Poppy's and Mama Rose's, suspects she and her crew will need several weeks to get Mama Rose's open, and a little longer for Poppy's.
Carpet, padding and other ruined iteams from the basement of St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church cover the grass near an entrance to the basement. A creek, normally little more thsn a trickle, swelled to flood not only the church, but the east end of Elkhorn Avenue.
Poppy's co-owner Rob Pieper takes a break while employees help remove damaged items from the restaurant. Pieper sees several weeks of repair ahead before reopening.
Mary K. Somin watches as her house on East Riverside Drive is emptied on Wednesday. Like many in Estes Park, Simon has to take out wet and ruined items before trying to dry out the building, itself.
Lance Williams, who recently moved to Estes Park, picks up an armload of mail on Wednesday. After nearly a week without service, the Estes Park Post Office re-opened.
Michael Hilker, right and Rade Grahovac seem relaxed during a short power outages that sent waves of panic through Estes Park on Tuesday afternoon. Estes Park officials blame a chipmonk for the outage, not any conspiricy to evacuate parts of town.
Little athletes Bailey and Abby Lemirande try to enjoy their school and practice-free days this week. The pair spend half their day at their parents business, and half the day outside playing, as their are no organized team practices while school is out.
Estes Park crowds into the Grubsteak, leading to a long wait for a table. Diners didn't seem to mind as they caught up with friends and neighbors they may not have seen since the start of flooding last week.
St Malo suffers more as the pond in front of the Chapel on the Rocks is clogged with trees and refuse from last weeks flooding. The Catholic retreat has not completely rebuilt from their last disaster, the fire two years ago that destroyed parts of the housing and conference facilities.
Estes Park diners and survivers of the flooding enjoy a break at the Grubsteak restaurant on Wednesday. The event was billed as a chance to come together and relax, even for just a little bit, for those cleaning up.
Sarah Busch applies some positive pressure at the Grubsteak restaurant on Wednesday. Therapists from the Elements of Touch Spa gave chair massages to help sore muscles and frazzled nerves.

Last month Reuters posed the question of whether Audi, after a decade of dominating the luxury game, was beginning to stall out due to a lack of research and development spending compared to rivals. Now Audi says they're going to fix that problem by throwing money at it.
Suck it, haters! According to AudiWorld, Audi today announced they're going to drop around €22 billion — $30 billion in U.S. currency — between 2014 and 2018 "into new models, innovations and the continuous expansion of the worldwide production network." Seventy percent of that money will be for new models and technologies. It is the largest such investment in company history.
What new models are coming our way, you ask? The Q1, a new TT, and maybe some more electrics, apparently.
In addition to the innovative Audi A3 Sportback e-tron and A3 Sportback g-tron, the brand with the four rings plans to launch the third generation of its design icon, the Audi TT Coupé, on the market in 2014. Just a few weeks ago, Audi also announced that it will be producing the new Audi Q1 in Ingolstadt starting in 2016. At the same time, Audi is expanding its production facilities around the world.
That includes Audi's first factory in North America, in Mexico, a plant in Brazil that will make the A3 and Q3 there, and a second plant in China. Gotta have the China plants, man.
Maybe that big injection of cash will satisfy the naysayers.

That's a bit silly and error prone > in my eyes... Well, yes, but not exactly. You have to mark up the braces for the sake of the compiler, yes, absolutely, but you have some ability to use JUDGEMENT as to how to indent -- or if. i=10; while (i>0) { a[i] = b[i]; i--; } (on one line) works just fine and is both readable and reasonably elegant. Not that i=10; while (i>0) { a[i] = b[i]; i--; } is terrible either. With C code you can also make a judgement on things like nested loops. I have code where the loops are nested some 8 of 9 levels deep -- sums over successive angular momentum indices, for example, inside sums over coordinate indices (sometimes in both position and momentum space). Nesting levels of 10+ are not unknown. With C you CAN do for(){ for () { for () { ... (to many more levels) for(){ and now begin a really long formula HERE where it runs way off the screen } ... } } } Or (as I often do) you can "renormalize indentation": for(){ for () { for () { .... /* Note that I indicate a level renorm in a comment leading * for(){ and now begin a really long formula HERE where it doesn' run off the screen } /* and comment the trailing edge as well */ } ... } } } I actually have quite a bit of code that does this, because the alternative is to use a 150 character wide tty with tiny characters. It's still pretty readable and a hell of a lot easier to edit. And of course in the OLD days this sort of thing gave fortran hell -- you HAD to renormalize indentation in really deep loops or you'd run out of characters in your 66 character working line (card length 80 less the leading 6 and trailing 8). So in C (and perl), you can only make an "error" on the braces. Getting the indentation "wrong" just makes the program a bit harder to read -- or not. Might make it a bit easier to read. Might make it POSSIBLE to read. Edge cases, as I said, but not uncommon ones. For simple 2-3 levels of nesting of loops and conditionals sure, python or perl or C or Fortran IV or whatever -- all are fine and pretty easy to read, even with 10 CONTINUE type block terminators (which alas, lots of people wouldn't use instead choosing to label the next active statement and ALSO fail to indent... sigh). Besides, my favorite programming editor (jove) is smart enough to manage code indentation inside program blocks for C (or perl) automagically and check for matches of brace pairs, actually making it very easy to ensure that your code indentation is as it should be. And then there is "indent", to come behind with retroactively and make things all pretty and consistent if you get sloppy while writing, which I don't. Finally, even with indentation used to denote program blocks there is some ambiguity, remember -- humans still have to be sure to indent each successive block CORRECTLY (relative to indentation levels used in prior blocks) or you can convey the impression of depth B when really the depth is A. Indentation blocking is a local process, not global. But as usual, this is a posteriori justification (on my part) for a perhaps irrational but quite real preference. If I'd learned python first, maybe I would have liked it the other way, but instead following the PL/1, Fortran, Basic, C route by the time I got to C {}'s were beautifully sparse and flexible to my eyes and veritably manna from heaven, especially when teamed up with an emacsoid editor...:-) Myself, if I were going to write an interpreter/scripting language from scratch I'd start pretty much from C at this point, add regular expression parsing in conditionals, create automatic fast data types capable of managing struct-like structures, and otherwise largely preserve its syntax, structure, and intrinsic subroutine calls. And I'd add a binary exponentiation operator (damn it! This is the one thing about C that I miss from Fortran, amazingly enough...:-). But wait! That's perl, or damn close. The biggest gripe I have about perl is that it's struct support is high mediocre. Purportedly python does that much better, while preserving a lot of its other advantages. Otherwise when I first learned perl I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. It is still the language I'd choose to learn and use if I could only use one language, ever, for everything that had to be done. One day I'll probably get over it and learn python. In the meantime I get way too much pleasure from ribbing my friends (and being ribbed back in return) over the python vs perl thing. Remember, this IS duke, and Seth Vidal (and Icon, and Michael Stenner) ARE all my friends, and yum IS written -- in python. Every now and then I threaten to write a perl-Gtk interface to yum just for the sheer fun of it... and then duck. Sometimes I even have to run out of the room. rgb -- Robert G.

Sioux Tribes Forming Coalition to Act as 1 Nation
RAPID CITY - Representatives of four Sioux tribes met in South Dakota late last week to lay the groundwork for working as one nation on issues they deem important.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe hosted officials from the Standing Rock Sioux, Rosebud Sioux and Crow Creek Sioux in Rapid City for three days of meetings. Oglala Sioux President Bryan Brewer tells the Rapid City Journal that such a meeting hasn't happened for more than a century.
Brewer says about 60 people took part in the meetings and signed a proclamation declaring their intent to work together. They also produced a set of bylaws and a mission statement.
Brewer says there are 22 Sioux tribes eligible to join the organization. The next meeting will be hosted by the Rosebud Sioux in early April.

Its always fun to be the bad guy, and its even more fun to be the bad guy who gets to boss a bunch of minions around. Thats the experience the Pikmin-esque Overlord series provides, and Overlord: Dark Legend (a different game than Overlord II, though the release dates were the same) brings that pure joy of dictatorship to the Wii. The basic setup translates incredibly well to Nintendos current console, and the storytelling and graphics certainly have their moments, but some technical shortcomings and a lack of challenge keep this action/adventure/strategy game from being all it could have been.
Dark Legend is a prequel to the original game, and the basic idea is that youre a young overlord-in-training who has to defend his familys land. To ease you in, the game offers some of the best tutorial work in recent memory. The story presents the core abilities and techniques quickly enough that you learn the basics in a hurry, but slowly enough that you never feel overwhelmed. Its not a separate tutorial, but rather the earliest section of the game.
Its good the educational stages are handled well, because theres a lot to learn. In addition to the basics of moving around and swinging your weapon (which works pretty much the way it does in a Zelda game), you have to master the art of guiding the little monsters under your command. You can move them as a group, as individuals, or in smaller clusters of like-colored underlings (you slowly unlock new colors until there are four). By taking advantage of their unique abilities, for example by setting up some red monsters at a safe distance to throw fireballs at an enemy, you can make the game a lot easier on yourself. When you come across an impassable barrier, you can grab a minion by the neck, shake him, and send him toward whatevers blocking you. Hell explode, clearing your way.
The developers did a great job of incorporating motion control without making any of these maneuvers difficult to pull off. For example, to order a minion into place, all you need to do is select his color with the D-pad, point at where you want him to go, and click. Its hard to imagine a more natural way to play.
Working through the early challenges, one thing thats instantly clear is that the series gleefully wicked sense of humor is intact, even if some of the more inappropriate material has been toned down. Many of the missions are based on fairy tales (Lil Red Riding Hood and the Gingerbread Man have roles), and your medieval misbehavior ranges from vandalism (you start by smashing up items in your siblings rooms, and proceed to break virtually everything else you encounter) to violence (you and your minions spend most of your time killing your enemies and pillaging their lands, and PETA will be thrilled to know you can slaughter farm animals for the energy you need to call more minions). Your underlings do all sorts of crazy things to amuse themselves and please you, from wearing the clothes of defeated enemies to making servile comments (For you!) whenever they bring you back items. The writing and voice acting are well-done and funny, creating an atmosphere of dark-yet-giddy comedy. Dark Legend gets the tone just right, and kudos to everyone involved, especially writer Rhianna Pratchett, for that.

After 18 years in prison in Massachusetts for allegedly raping eight small children while dressed as a clown, Gerald Amirault was released from prison today. The photo below shows him with his wife, right, and daughter, left.
Amirault and his family were swept up in the child care sex abuse madness of the 80's and early 90's. They were convicted on what appears to be the flimsiest and least reliable evidence of crimes that almost certainly never took place. Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal has worked tirelessly for years to defend the Amiraults and other falsely accused child care providers.
The Providence Journal reports on Gerald Amirault's release, and notes that some of his youthful accusers, now grown, stand by their story.

Only a matter of hours after the release of the new iPad, declarations of successful first steps in jailbreaking it were already sounding off. Fortunately for the new owners of the new iPad, three methods of jailbreaking have cropped up, and now it's only a matter of time before a downloadable jailbreak is available to the public.
The first to claim was @Musclenerd, a member of the iPhone Dev Team (unaffiliated with Apple), who tweeted, "jailbroken iPad3: http://twitpic.com/8×48rt http://twitpic.com/8×48xg (Just a first step, still lots of work to do! No ETA!)" and published a screenshot of root access to the new iPad and the fruit of his labor — his tablet running the Cydia Store. Note the bottom left hand corner where it states iPad 3, iOS 5.1 and Cydia 1.1.5.
Credit in part has to be given to his iPhone Dev teammates. Within the 24 hours of the iOS 5.1 update, teammate @pod2g revealed an untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. With the new iPad running iOS 5.1 and an A5X processor (a derivative of the A5 used in those devices), you can imagine how much time was saved in rooting the latest Apple tablet.
His hack was followed by the announcement of a successful untethered jailbreak by teammate, @i0n1c, who released a video as evidence to his accomplishment:
"So Musclenerd showed pics of jailbroken ipad3 already. guess i have to show video of untethered ipad3 then…"
Finally, a Tweet by @chpwn and @phoenixdev have revealed a third successful jailbreak, and accompanying photos of the jailbroken new iPad running the Cydia Store:
"Jailbroken iPad (3), using a different method by myself and @phoenixdev: http://db.tt/mqIZmw96http://db.tt/g2UlawxV"
As stated on the iPhone Dev blog, jailbreaking the iPad 2 had similarities to jailbreaking the new iPad, which in turn also contributed to the quick jailbreaking turn around. Of course, like the iPhone Dev team reiterates, there are no promises, and the release of a public download of the New iPad's jailbreak may not be available for a few weeks.n

Is On-Demand Radio the Next Big Digital Channel?
Tim Wilson, Partner
No, I'm not referring to SecondLife (which, BTW, is still around and, apparently, still has life in it). I'm referring to the fact that podcasts just turned ten, and there are a lot of signs that they might be one of the "next big things" in digital. Earlier this year, when I wrote a post announcing the launch of the Digital Analytics Power Hour podcast, I listed three examples as to how it seemed like podcasts were making a comeback ...

The Right Use for Real Time Data
Michele Kiss, Senior Partner
Vendors commonly pitch the need for "real-time" data and insights, without due consideration for the process, tools and support needed to act upon it. So when is real-time an advantage for an organization, and when does it serve as a distraction? And how should analysts respond to requests for real-time data and dashboards?

Using Excel to Count Text Occurrences
Tim Wilson, Partner
I had this come up a couple of weeks ago with a client, and I realized it was something I'd done dozens of times…but had never written down the "how" on doing. So, here we go. This is a post about one very specific application of Excel, but it is also implicitly a post about how, with an intermediate level of knowledge of Excel, with a little bit of creativity, and a strong aversion to manually parsing/copying/pasting anything, a spreadsheet can accomplish a lot! And very quickly!
The Curse of Bounce Rate and 'Easy' Metrics ...
Michele Kiss, Senior Partner
One of the benefits of having a number of friends in the analytics industry is the spirited (read: nerdy) debates we get in to. In one such recent discussion, we went back and forth over the merits of "bounce rate." I am (often vehemently) against the use of "bounce rate." However, when I stepped back, I realized you could summarize my argument against bounce rate quite simply ...
Happy New Year from Web Analytics and Team Demystified
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Happy belated new year to everyone reading this blog — on behalf of everyone at Web Analytics Demystified and Team Demystified I sincerely hope you had a wonderful and relaxing holiday season and that you're ready to wade back into the analytical and optimization fray! Since I last wrote a few cool things have happened ...

Introducing the Digital Analytics Power Hour Podcast
Tim Wilson, Partner
Happy New Year! Reflecting on 2014, I have to give it high marks from a personal and professional fulfillment front, and I'm looking to outperform those results in 2015 ... by podcasting!
Every Analyst Should Follow fivethirtyeight.com
Tim Wilson, Partner
I'll admit it: I'm a Nate Silver fanboy. That fandom is rooted in my political junky-ism and dates back to the first iteration of fivethirtyeight.com back in 2008. Since then, Silver joined the New York Times, so fivethirtyeight.com migrated to be part of that media behemoth, and, more recently, Silver left the New York Times for ESPN — another media behemoth.
Demystified's Data Governance Principles
John Lovett, Senior Partner
In digital analytics, "Governance" is a term that is used casually to mean many different things. In our experience at Web Analytics Demystified, every organization inherently recognizes that governance is an important component of their data strategy, yet every company has a different interpretation of what it means to govern their data. In an effort to dispel the misconceptions surrounding what it means to truly steward digital data, Web Analytics Demystified has developed seven data governance principles that all organizations collecting and using digital data should adhere to.

Three Foundational Tips to Successfully Recruit in Analytics
Michele Kiss, Partner
Hiring in the competitive analytics industry is no easy feat. In most organizations, it can be hard enough to get headcount – let alone actually find the right person! These three foundational tips are drawn from successful hiring processes in a variety of verticals and organizations.
Slack Demystified
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Those of you who follow my blog have come to know that when I learn a product (like Adobe SiteCatalyst), I really get to know it and evangelize it. Back in the 90′s I learned the Lotus Notes enterprise collaboration software and soon became one of the most proficient Lotus Notes developers in the world, building most of Arthur Andersen's global internal Lotus Notes apps. In the 2000′s, I came across Omniture SiteCatalyst, and after a while had published hundreds of blog posts on Omniture's (Adobe's) website and my own and eventually a book! One of my favorite pastimes is finding creative ways to apply a technology to solve everyday problems or to make life easier.

Profile Website Visitors via Campaign Codes and More
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
One of the things customers ask me about is the ability to profile website visitors. Unfortunately, most visitors to websites are anonymous, so you don't know if they are young, old, rich, poor, etc. If you are lucky enough to have authentication or a login on your website, you may have some of this information, but for most of my clients the "known" percentage is relatively low. In this post, I'll share some things you can do to increase your visitor profiling by using advertising campaigns and other tools.
A Primer on Cookies in Web Analytics
Josh West, Partner
Some of you may have noticed that I don't blog as much as some of my colleagues (not to mention any names, but this one, this one, or this one). The main reason is that I'm a total nerd (just ask my wife), but in a way that is different from most analytics professionals. I don't spend all day in the data - I spend all data writing code. And it's often hard to translate code into entertaining blog posts, especially for the folks that tend to spend a lot of time reading what my partners have to say.

Excel Dropdowns Done Right
Tim Wilson, Partner
Do you used in-cell dropdowns in your spreadsheets? I used them all the time. It's both an ease-of-use and a data quality maneuver: clicking a dropdown is faster than typing a value, and it's really hard to mis-type a value when you're not actually typing!
The Downfall of Tesco and the Omniscience of Analytics
Michele Kiss, Partner
Yesterday, an article in the Harvard Business Review provided food for thought for the analytics industry. In Tesco's Downfall Is a Warning to Data-Driven Retailers, author Michael Schrage ponders how a darling of the "analytics as a competitive advantage" stories, British retailer Tesco, failed so spectacularly - despite a wealth of data and customer insight.
Creating Conversion Funnels via Segmentation
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Regardless of what type of website you manage, it is bound to have some sort of conversion funnel. If you are an online retailer, your funnel may consist of people looking at products, selecting products, and then buying products. If you are a B2B company, your funnel may be higher-level like acquisition, research, trial and then form completion.
10 Tips for Building a Dashboard in Excel
Tim Wilson, Partner
This post has an unintentionally link bait-y post title, I realize. But, I did a quick thought experiment a few weeks ago after walking a client through the structure of a dashboard I'd built for them to see if I could come up with ten discrete tips that I'd put to use when I built it. Turns out…I can!
Exploring Optimal Post Timing ... Redux
Tim Wilson, Partner
Back in 2012, I developed an Excel worksheet that would take post-level data exported from Facebook Insights and do a little pivot tabling on it to generate some simple heat maps that would provide a visual way to explore when, for a given page, the optimal times of day and days of the week are for posting.
What I Love: Adobe and Google Analytics*
Tim Wilson, Partner
While in Atlanta last week for ACCELERATE, I got into the age-old discussion of "Adobe Analytics vs. Google Analytics." I'm up to my elbows in both of them, and they're both gunning for each other, so this list is a lot shorter than it would have been a couple of years ago.
Top 5 Metrics You're Measuring Incorrectly ... or Not
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Last night as I was casually perusing the days digital analytics news - yes, yes I really do that - I came across a headline and article that got my attention. While the article's title ("Top 5 Metrics You're Measuring Incorrectly") is the sort I am used to seeing in our Buzzfeed-ified world of pithy "made you click" headlines, it was the article's author that got my attention.
Bulletproof Business Requirements
John Lovett, Senior Partner
As a digital analytics professional, you've probably been tasked with collecting business requirements for measuring a new website/app/feature/etc. This seems like a task that's easy enough, but all too often people get wrapped around the axle and fail to capture what's truly important from a business users' perspective. The result is typically a great deal of wasted time, frustrated business users, and a deep-seated distrust for analytics data.
Welcome to Team Demystified: Nancy Koons and Elizabeth Eckels!
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am delighted to announce that our Team Demystified business unit is continuing to expand with the addition of Nancy Koons and Elizabeth "Smalls" Eckels. Our Team Demystified efforts are exceeding all expectation and are allowing Web Analytics Demystified to provide truly world-class services to our Enterprise-class clients at an entirely new scale.
When to Use Variables vs SAINT in Adobe Analytics
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In one of my recent Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) "Top Gun" training classes, a student asked me the following question: When should you use a variable (i.e. eVar or sProp) vs. using SAINT Classifications? This is an interesting question that comes up often, so I thought I would share my thoughts on this and my rules of thumb on the topic.
5 Tips for #ACCELERATE Exceptionalism
Tim Wilson, Partner
Next month's ACCELERATE conference in Atlanta on September 18th will be the fifth - FIFTH!!! - one. I wish I could say I'd attended every one, but, sadly, I missed Boston due to a recent job change at the time. I was there in San Francisco in 2010, I made a day trip to Chicago in 2011, and I personally scheduled fantastic weather for Columbus in 2013.
I've Become Aware that Awareness Is a #measure Bugaboo
Tim Wilson, Partner
A Big Question that social and digital media marketers grapple with constantly, whether they realize it or not: Is "awareness" a valid objective for marketing activity?
I've gotten into more than a few heated debates that, at their core, center around this question. Some of those debates have been with myself (those are the ones where I most need a skilled moderator!).
Advanced Conversion Syntax Merchandising
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
As I have mentioned in the past, one of the Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) topics I loathe talking about is Product Merchandising. Product Merchandising is complicated and often leaves people scratching their heads in my "Top Gun" training classes. However, many people have mentioned to me that my previous post on Product Merchandising eVars helped them a lot so I am going to continue sharing information on this topic.
Team Demystified Update from Wendy Greco
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
When Eric Peterson asked me to lead Team Demystified a year ago, I couldn't say no! Having seen how hard all of the Web Analytics Demystified partners work and that they are still not able to keep up with the demand of clients for their services, it made sense for Web Analytics Demystified to find another way to scale their services. Since the Demystified team knows all of the best people in our industry and has tons of great clients, it is not surprising that our new Team Demystified venture has taken off as quickly as it has.
SiteCatalyst Unannounced Features
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Lately, Adobe has been sneaking in some cool new features into the SiteCatalyst product and doing it without much fanfare. While I am sure these are buried somewhere in release notes, I thought I'd call out two of them that I really like, so you know that they are there.
Hello. I'm a Radical Analytics Pragmatist
Tim Wilson, Partner
I was reading a post last week by one of the Big Names in web analytics…and it royally pissed me off. I started to comment and then thought, "Why pick a fight?" We've had more than enough of those for our little industry over the past few years. So I let it go.
Except I didn't let it go.
Competitor Pricing Analysis
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
One of my newest clients is in a highly competitive business in which they sell similar products as other retailers. These days, many online retailers have a hunch that they are being "Amazon-ed," which they define as visitors finding products on their website and then going to see if they can get it cheaper/faster on Amazon.com. This client was attempting to use time spent on page as a way to tell if/when visitors were leaving their site to go price shopping.
How to Deliver Better Recommendations: Forecast the Impact!
Michele Kiss, Partner
One of the most valuable ways to be sure your recommendations are heard is to forecast the impact of your proposal. Consider what is more likely to be heard: "I think we should do X ..." vs "I think we should do X, and with a 2% increase in conversion, that would drive a $1MM increase in revenue ..."
ACCELERATE 2014 "Advanced Analytics Education" Classes Posted
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am delighted to share the news that our 2014 "Advanced Analytics Education" classes have been posted and are available for registration. We expanded our offering this year and will be offering four concurrent analytics and optimization training sessions from all of the Web Analytics Demystified Partners and Senior Partners on September 16th and 17th at the Cobb Galaria in Atlanta, Georgia.
Product Cart Addition Sequence
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In working with a client recently, an interesting question arose around cart additions. This client wanted to know the order in which visitors were adding products to the shopping cart. Which products tended to be added first, second third, etc.? They also wanted to know which products were added after a specific product was added to the cart (i.e. if a visitor adds product A, what is the next product they tend to add?). Finally, they wondered which cart add product combinations most often lead to orders.
7 Tips For Delivering Better Analytics Recommendations
Michele Kiss, Partner
As an analyst, your value is not just in the data you deliver, but in the insight and recommendations you can provide. But what is an analyst to do when those recommendations seem to fall on deaf ears?
Overcoming The Analyst Curse: DON'T Show Your Math!
Michele Kiss, Partner
If I could give one piece of advice to an aspiring analyst, it would be this: Stop showing your "math". A tendency towards "TMI deliverables" is common, especially in newer analysts. However, while analysts typically do this in an attempt to demonstrate credibility ("See? I used all the right data and methods!") they do so at the expense of actually being heard.
Making Tables of Numbers Comprehensible
Tim Wilson, Partner
I'm always amazed (read: dismayed) when I see the results of an analysis presented with a key set of the results delivered as a raw table of numbers. It is impossible to instantly comprehend a data table that has more than 3 or 4 rows and 3 or 4 columns. And, "instant comprehension" should be the goal of any presentation of information - it's the hook that gets your audience's brain wrapped around the material and ready to ponder it more deeply.
Automating the Cleanup of Facebook Insights Exports
Tim Wilson, Partner
This post (the download, really - it's not much of a post) is about dealing with exports from Facebook Insights. If that's not something you do, skip it. Go back to Facebook and watch some cat videos. If you are in a situation where you get data about your Facebook page by exporting .csv or .xls files from the Facebook Insights web interface, then you probably sometimes think you need a 52" monitor to manage the horizontal scrolling.
The Recent Forrester Wave on Web Analytics ... is Wrong
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
Having worked as an industry analyst back in the day I still find myself interested in what the analyst community has to say about web analytics, especially when it comes to vendor evaluation. The evaluations are interesting because of the sheer amount of work that goes into them in an attempt to distill entire companies down into simple infographics, tables, and single paragraph summaries.
Funnel Visualizations That Make Sense
Tim Wilson, Partner
Funnels, as a concept, make some sense (although someone once made a good argument that they make no sense, since, when the concept is applied by marketers, the funnel is really more a "very, very leaky funnel," which would be a worthless funnel - real-world funnels get all of a liquid from a wide opening through a smaller spout; but, let's not quibble).
Reenergizing Your Web Analytics Program & Implementation
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
Those of you who have read my blog posts (and book) over the years, know that I have lots of opinions when it comes to web analytics, web analytics implementations and especially those using Adobe Analytics. Whenever possible, I try to impart lessons I have learned during my web analytics career so you can improve things at your organization.
Registration for ACCELERATE 2014 is now open
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I am excited to announce that registration for ACCELERATE 2014 on September 18th in Atlanta, Georgia is now open. You can learn more about the event and our unique "Ten Tips in Twenty Minutes" format on our ACCELERATE mini-site, and we plan to have registration open for our Advanced Analytics Education pre-ACCELERATE training sessions in the coming weeks.
Current Order Value
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
I recently had a client pose an interesting question related to their shopping cart. They wanted to know the distribution of money its visitors were bringing with them to each step of the shopping cart funnel.
A Guide to Segment Sharing in Adobe Analytics
Tim Wilson, Partner
Over the past year, I've run into situations multiple times where I wanted an Adobe Analytics segment to be available in multiple Adobe Analytics platforms. It turns out…that's not as easy as it sounds. I actually went multiple rounds with Client Care once trying to get it figured out. And, I've found "the answer" on more than one occasion, only to later realize that that answer was a bit misguided.
Currencies & Exchange Rates
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
If your web analytics work covers websites or apps that span different countries, there are some important aspects of Adobe SiteCatalyst (Analytics) that you must know. In this post, I will share some of the things I have learned over the years related to currencies and exchange rates in SiteCatalyst.
Linking Authenticated Visitors Across Devices
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
In the last few years, people have become accustomed to using multiple digital devices simultaneously. While watching the recent winter Olympics, consumers might be on the Olympics website, while also using native mobile or tablet apps. As a result, some of my clients have asked me whether it is possible to link visits and paths across these devices so they can see cross-device paths and other behaviors.
The 80/20 Rule for Analytics Teams
Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
I had the pleasure last week of visiting with one of Web Analytics Demystified's longest-standing and, at least from a digital analytical perspective, most successful clients. The team has grown tremendously over the years in terms of size and, more importantly, stature within the broader multi-channel business and has become one of the most productive and mature digital analytics groups that I personally am aware of across the industry.
Ten Things You Should ALWAYS Do (or Not Do) in Excel
Tim Wilson, Partner
Last week I was surprised by the Twitter conversation a fairly innocuous vent-via-Twitter tweet started, with several people noting that they had no idea you could simple turn off the gridlines.
Omni Man (and Team Demystified) Needs You!
Adam Greco, Senior Partner
As someone in the web analytics field, you probably hear how lucky you are due to the fact that there are always web analytics jobs available. When the rest of the country is looking for work and you get daily calls from recruiters, it isn't a bad position to be in! At Web Analytics Demystified, we have more than doubled in the past year and still cannot keep up with the demand, so I am reaching out to you ...
A Useful Framework for Social Media "Engagements"
Tim Wilson, Partner
Whether you have a single toe dipped in the waters of social media analytics or are fully submerged and drowning, you've almost certainly grappled with "engagement." This post isn't going to answer the question "Is engagement ROI?" ...
It's not about "Big Data", it's about the "RIGHT data"
Michele Kiss, Partner
Unless you've been living under a rock, you have heard (and perhaps grown tired) of the buzzword "big data." But in attempts to chase the "next shiny thing", companies may focus too much on "big data" rather than the "right data."

OK, so maybe we didn't exactly star, but the past two mornings, Warners' Stellian has been working with crews shooting footage that will air in two episodes of DIY Network's "Rehab Addict," which airs Thursday nights at 9 with new episodes beginning Jan. 20. (See our photos on Facebook.)
The rehab addict herself, Nicole Curtis, is fixing up a big old house in the Tangletown neighborhood of Minneapolis, for which she came and picked out some appliances at Warners' Stellian-Edina on Tuesday.
Nicole selected all Frigidaire appliances:
- Side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator
- 36″ pro-style gas range
- Two dishwashers (one for the kitchen and one for the downstairs bar area)
- Pro-style microwave that will sit underneath the countertop
- Separate beverage center and wine chiller for the bar area
- Front-load steam washer and dryer pair for the beautiful, penny-tile floor laundry room.
Our crews delivered her selections Wednesday to a beautiful custom kitchen of white, solid-wood cabinetry, marble countertops, an apron front sink (etc., etc., etc.).
Our delivery guys Dave and Brian truly enjoyed being in front of the cameras and shared some laughs with the production crew, as well.
Nicole will be holding an educational-type event at a Warners' Stellian showroom in the next couple months, so stand by!

Book of Saints – Edmund
EdmundD (Saint) King, Martyr (November 20) (9th century) Born of royal blood (A.D. 849), he was made King of the East Angles in A.D. 855, under the suzerainty of the monarchs of Wessex. During his fifteen years of reign, his one aim was to secure the happiness of his people. In the Danish inroad of A.D. 870, one of the most devastating of that terrible age, after the defeat of his little army, he was taken prisoner and savagely done to death at Hoxne in Suffolk. He expired with the name of Jesus on his lips and has always been venerated as a Martyr. His shrine at Bury Saint Edmunds was one of the most frequented in England.

A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East
How is it that human beings can be so alike—sons and daughters of the same prophet Abraham—and yet, so filled with hate towards each other.
How is it that human beings can garner weapons, sway world opinion, and level cities with lightening speed?
Yet, when we witness poverty, disease, the plagues of illiteracy, intolerance, food insecurity—we wonder if it is within the grasp of human beings to face and obliterate such needless suffering?
In our reading this morning, the poet, Ada Aharoni expressed a great hope that we could overcome our reluctance to open our hearts to the sufferings of the other:
My Palestinian sister,
Daughter of Abraham, like me,
Let us build a sturdy bridge
From your olive world to mine,
From my orange world to yours,
When I traveled to Israel in 1977, the country was making great strides toward peace—after prosecuting two brutal wars to maintain its security. Both the 1967 war and the 1974 Yom Kippur War were waged under the leadership of a woman prime minister—Golda Meier—forever changing my feminist belief that if women ruled the world, that wars would cease and nations would devote themselves to domestic prosperity.
Indeed, today, another woman, Tzipi Livni is advocating for total war against Hamas Islamists—who claim to fight for the rights of Palestinians to their homeland. Livni presides as Israel's foreign minister, and is campaigning to be the next prime minister of Israel—all while this nation is engaged in brutal aerial and ground battles in Gaza—the home of Palestinians who were displaced by immigrant Jews.
Our nation participated in the creation of the state of Israel. We have continued, and will continue to bolster Israel's military capacity for "self-defense."
But, as inheritors of the Judeo-Christian heritage, our policy too often reflects the blind belief that Israel's right to exist is the same as Israel's right to claim land and control the destiny not only of her own people, but of the Palestinian minority who have been crushed by Israel's economic and security policies for decades.
Our nation—and too many of our religious leaders—act as if every military action by the state of Israel was divinely inspired. For too long, the United States of America has allowed religious zealotry to guide its posture towards the Middle East—while at the same time, ignoring the fundamental religious principles that would promote lasting peace in the Middle East if they were the basis of our policy and our financial support.
There was a time, in the seventies, when Menachim Begin—who earlier in his life was a leader of guerrilla terrorists to overthrow the British rulers of Palestine (prior to the creation of the state of Israel)—this same Menachim Begin opened the doors to peace by engaging in the Camp David peace process with Egypt's President Anwar Sadat.
These two men, Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat—much like the women in our poem—decided to build a sturdy bridge to peace… A bridge that helped them to understand their differences. A bridge that helped them to bring together the world of olives and the world of oranges.
Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat were two old men who wanted their children to know what it was like to live in peace—up to the time of these accords, there was no peace in the region. Arab hatred of Israel was so great that no communication, no business transaction, no passport would be recognized in Arab countries if there was any mention of Israel. Menachim Begin's desire for peace was so great that he agreed to the unthinkable: he returned the spoils of war—the Negev Desert region—to Egypt as part of the peace negotiations.
During that era, to help my husband at the time, I hosted parties and cultural exchanges for Israelis and Egyptians who had come to our city for airline training to automate their operations at home. Over the course of six weeks, we entertained three groups of men and women who were never allowed to be human with each other for as long as Israel and Egypt were at war.
The first group that came was very hesitant—its not that easy to be social if you have never been allowed to be friends, to acknowledge your common humanity. Over the course of six weeks, the groups became like family. Our first group went home with symbols, photos, memories. The second group, hearing of the friendly nature of our gatherings brought gifts and songs and stories to exchange with their new friends. And so it went until it was time for us to go to Israel and Egypt for the start of their new systems.
When I traveled to Israel and to Egypt, I visited with these lovely folks again. This was a period of hope, a time for people to believe that everyone could prosper, all could get along.
Perhaps Ada Aharoni, who was born in Cairo, tasted the sweetness of that time of reconciliation:
My Palestinian sister, daughter of Abraham,
I do not want to be your oppressor
You do not want to be my oppressor,
Or your jailer
Or my jailer,
We do not want to make each other afraid
Under our vines
Sadly, this movement toward reconciliation—toward a fair and just resolution of the questions surrounding the rights of the Palestinians to sovereignty—ground to a halt as governments around the world rigidly began to embrace war as the only valid response to terrorism.
But is war the only valid response to terrorism?
Listen to the words of Menachim Begin, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, as he spoke from the experience of being a zealous terrorist against the British—as well as from the experience of being a grandfather who wanted more than anything to create a lasting peace for his family:
"Free women and men everywhere must wage an incessant campaign so that these human values become a generally recognized and practised reality. We must regretfully admit that in various parts of the world this is not yet the case. Without those values and human rights the real peace of which we dream is jeopardized."
Omar Bradley was a great American WWII general who came to understand that perpetual war was not in our nation's or our world's best interest. We would do well to consider his words today:
"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount."
Even Moshe Dayan, the great general who led Israelis in tanks and taxi cabs to rout the Egyptians out—he came to understand that other diplomacy and strategic partnerships s might be needed to create lasting peace: "If you want to
make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."—Moshe Dayan
I do not pretend to have the credentials to lead the U.S. diplomatic mission to restore peace between Israel and the homeless Palestinians.
But, I do know that all of the great religious leaders—from Pope John Paul the Sixth to the Dalai Lama—all of these leaders have recognized that lasting peace will be but a dream—unless we work for justice.
As we pray for peace in the Middle East—peace for our world, I pray that leaders around the world and in our own country will return to powerful acts of diplomacy to help the Israelis and the Palestinians to build a sturdy bridge that leads away from death and destruction and toward peace and prosperity. I pray that Palestinians and Israelis everywhere will heed Ada Aharoni's call:
So, my Palestinian sister,
Let us build a bridge of
Jasmine understanding
Where each shall sit with her baby
Under her vine and under her fig tree—
And none shall make them afraid
So may it be.
Based on the reading, My Palestinian Sister by Ada Aharoni
Ada Aharoni is an Israeli poet, writer and professor. Ada was born in Cairo, lives in Haifa, and is President of IFLAC: PAVE PEACE, the International Forum for Literature and Culture of Peace. She writes in Hebrew and English, and her works have been translated into Arabic.

If message producers tend to overrun message consumers, messages can accumulate in the broker. The broker contains a mechanism for throttling back producers and swapping messages out of active memory under low memory conditions, but it is wise to set a hard limit on the total number of messages (and message bytes) that the broker can hold.
Control these limits by setting the imq.system.max_count and the imq.system.max_size broker properties.
For example:
The defined value above means that the broker will only hold up to 5000 undelivered and/or unacknowledged messages. If additional messages are sent, they are rejected by the broker. If a message is persistent then the clinet runtime will throw an exception when the producer tries to send the message. If the message is non-persistent, the broker silently drops the message.
When an exception is thrown in sending a message, the client should process the exception by pausing for a moment and retrying the send again. (Note that the exception will never be due to the broker's failure to receive a message; the exception is thrown by the client runtime before the message is sent to the broker.)

At night the moon shakes the bright dice of the water;
And the elders, their flower light as broken snow upon the bush,
Repeat the circle of the moon.
Within the month
Black fruit breaks from the white flower.
The black-wheeled berries turn
Weighing the boughs over the road.
Louise Bogan
Louise Bogan was born in Livermore Falls, Maine, on August 11, 1897. She attended Boston Girls' Latin School and spent one year at Boston University. She married in 1916 and was widowed in 1920. In 1925, she married her second husband, the poet Raymond Holden, whom she divorced in 1937.
Her poems were published in the New Republic, the Nation, Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, Scribner's and Atlantic Monthly. For thirty-eight years, she reviewed poetry for The New Yorker.
Bogan found the confessional poetry of Robert Lowell and John Berryman distasteful and self-indulgent. With the poets whose work she admired, however, such as Theodore Roethke, she was extremely supportive and encouraging. She was reclusive and disliked talking about herself, and for that reason details are scarce regarding her private life. Bogan's ability is unique in its strict adherence to lyrical forms, while maintaining a high emotional pitch: she was preoccupied with exploring the perpetual disparity of heart and mind.
The majority of her poetry was written in the earlier half of her life when she published Body of This Death (McBride & Company, 1923), Dark Summer (Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929), and The Sleeping Fury (Charles Scribner's Sons, 1937). She subsequently published volumes of her collected verse, and The Blue Estuaries: Poems 1923-1968 (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1968), an overview of her life's work in poetry. She received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1968.
She died in New York City on February 4, 1970.

Chat Room
June 10, 2010, 08:15:32 PM »
There is now a new chat room which can be accessed from the "Chat Room" button which is beside Home, Profile, Logout etc up above the boards.
Currently there is only 1 chat room named "General Discussion". There may in future be different rooms added as well but all the buttons and links are not quite ready yet. The "private room" function has also been disabled for the same reason although it is planned to be turned on at some point. So, enough about what is not there or does not work, here is what does work:
You do not have to login separately, you will automatically log into the chat with your forum name when you click the "Chat Room" button or follow this link:
if you are already logged on to the forums. There is also a link and a look at what is currently being said in General Discussion near the top right of the page, just click the chat bubbles, the ones above the piggy.
If there are people in the chat room the "Chat Room" button will show how many there are. You can open the chat room in another browser tab or window and continue to browse the forum in your original tabs/windows. The chat room is really just another web page like the forum, just that it updates itself as people chat.
You can bookmark that link, separately to the forums if you wish although if you are not logged into the forums a little login screen will come up which takes your forum username and password. Basically if you login to either you login to both although do not appear "chatting" unless you go to the chat page.
Typing a message
Just enter your message in the empty box near the bottom of the screen (above the smilies) then press return or the submit button to the right of the screen. There is also a little number beside the submit button which is in two parts, it starts off as 0/1040 and the first number before the / will increase with each letter you type. This is how many of the characters allowed per message you have used (like you get when texting on a mobile phone). If you run out just send what you have which will reset the it back to zero and you can type the rest in another message.
There is a limited set of smilies available, more should become available over time. We just need to find somewhere neat to put them all so the page is not filled with them when you are trying to read the chat window.
BB Code
Some of the tags like Bold, Link and Image ones are available as in the forum (down by the smilies). They work in the same way as the forum ones do. One of the BB Code options is Colour, this opens up a little colour palette where you can chose a colour. Please try and choose something other people will be able to read if you change it. There is a user setting (see below) where you can tick a box called "persist font colour", if this is checked then your font colour stays at whatever you did last instead of you having to use a new colour tag each time.
Online Users
To the right of the screen you will see a smaller window than the main one where all the chat is printed. This window by default shows who is online and gives you some options to do specific things like list who is in the channel. Remember private channels are currently disabled so if you click the link for that you will get a message back saying you can not do it. Also note there is only one channel at the moment.
User Options
Below the submit button there are some little icons, the one which looks like two people opens the online user list as described above. The little spanners instead open your user options where you can change things to suite your own preferences. There are quite a few options in there so to start with it is probably best if you stick with the defaults if you are unsure although please ask if you want to know what anything is.

People sometimes ask when the chatroom is used most.
I did a little number crunching and have the following results, the first graph shows the busiest day (1 is Monday so 4, Thursday is busiest). The second graph shows how many messages there are each hour, so it is used most of the day but busier from 10pm to midnight.

I have added two new boards:
Chatroom Pinboard
- A board where you can create posts about what you are talking about in the chatroom. For example if you want to post something related to your discussion, but it does not really fit ont he main boards as it would be out of context then you can post it here. See the
Read Me First
post for this board.
Chatroom Introductions
- By member request, please do not confuse this with
Introduce Yourself
which still exists. This new board is intended as a more social introduction, photos if you want to include them, times you tend to be in the chatroom etc. Please see the
Read Me First
for this board as well. It explains what the privacy settings of this board mean, and what they do not.
Both of these boards are excluded from the recent post feeds, to avoid cluttering information which is useful to the masses. They can be accessed via the links above, or by going to the board itself in the members only group of boards.
Please Note: This is not new, these boards have been up for weeks, I just merged in the news with the general chatroom announcement as part of tidying up the announcements.

The Chat Room has been a bit quieter recently so I wanted to remind newer members that it exists.
There have also been a few people asking questions in the Chat Room whilst there was nobody else in it. I used to send such members a forum personal message explaining this but I have not been able recently for my own health reasons. If you have tried asking a question and are confused as to why there is no answer please bear in mind the chat in the chat room drops off over time, it is intended for live or near live chat.
If you want to ask a question and have members read it over the next few days then reply, please try the forum boards. If in doubt use the general discussion board
and if there is a better board for your question a moderator will move it for you.
