1. Find a site!
Things to consider when looking for a site:
Parking/Handicap Access: Does the site have suitable parking and
Access to salt water: If you plan on fishing during your event,
access to salt water is important
Space: Does the site have enough space to accommodate the number
of participants/volunteers you are expecting?
2. Recruit volunteers.
It is up to you to provide enough volunteers to run your
event. The FWC recommends at least 2 volunteers per
station. Some good resources for volunteers in your area are
local fishing clubs, the Boys and Girls clubs, Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs, 4-H, local charter boat captains, and church
3. Identify and recruit sponsors, if
Sometimes it is possible for you to secure funding for your
event through sponsorship. Past sponsors have included local
restaurants and businesses, local sporting goods stores, and local
bait and tackle shops. There are also funding programs
available through the Fish Florida organization. To view
these opportunities, visit:
4. Decide what supplies you will need for
the event and procure them.
If your event will be outside, you may want to get tents to
shield your volunteers and participants from the sun. Tables
and chairs for the volunteers (or picnic tables) should be provided
for each station.
5. Safety
If needed, you can work with your local fire and sheriff's
departments to request paramedics and security to be on site for
the event. It is a good idea to provide water and shade,
especially during the hot summer months. You should clearly
mark where water is available, and make sure all your volunteers
are aware of the locations.
6. Publicity
Contact local schools and other youth groups to inform them of
the event. You may also want to contact the local media to promote
your event.
FWC Facts:If you were born on or after June 1, 1975, you must pass a hunter safety course before you can buy a Florida hunting license.

Free diabetes screenings at the Joslin Center March 27
In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Day, the Joslin Diabetes Center will offer free diabetes screenings Tuesday, March 27 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Joslin Center is located in the University Health Care Center at 90 Presidential Plaza, Syracuse.
Individuals interested in having their blood tested will sign a consent form and have a small drop of blood from their finger tested for blood sugar level. While the test does not diagnose diabetes, it will indicate whether one's blood sugar is within the target range.
Joslin Center physicians will send a letter to individuals whose blood sugar levels are outside the target range, encouraging them to contact their primary care physicians for follow-up.
"We hope people stop by and take advantage of this free service as diabetes screening can save lives," said Ruth Weinstock, Ph.D, M.D., medical director of the Joslin Center.
More than 15 million people or 5.9 percent of the population in the United States have diabetes. While an estimated 10.3 million have been diagnosed, 5.4 million people are not aware that they have the disease. Each day approximately 2,200 people are diagnosed with diabetes. About 798,000 people will be diagnosed this year.

There will be more "Alpha House," Amazon Studios announced Wednesday. That means more inside-baseball jokes about senators (played by John Goodman, Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy and Mark Consuelos) who bunk together on Capitol Hill, and likely a few more references to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who unwittingly played an off-screen role as himself in the pilot.
Amazon officially picked up the original comedy, which is set in the current Congress, after tallying votes from viewers who watched the first episode online.
"We're thrilled to have emerged safely from this harrowing exercise in online democracy," writer Garry Trudeau told Deadline Hollywood.

"These are so cute - I use them as thank you notes for my son. His room is little world traveler-themed so the cards are perfect for him!"
"I love the way this card turned out. Even using an iPhone photo for this card the quality was still beautiful when printed from tiny prints."
"I bought invitations to a boy's baby's shower in this same design, and I LOVED them so much that I thought that I would try them for my daughter in pink and I absolutely love these as well... They look very good in the sample because "Elizabeth" is a long name... my daughter's name is Shelby, so it was a lot shorter and I was concerned that it would look funny, but it looks just fine."
"These cards have a nice weight to them. The design is adorable without being too cutesy. My nine year old was thrilled with her new stationery."
"Purchased these thank-you cards for my son's baptism. They turned out beautifully. I was a little worried about the paper quality as I did not have an option to choose from a variety of paper types as I did for the invitations (matte, glossy, pearl shimmer, etc). But the matte finish was appropriate and the paper thickness - perfect. The colours also turned out beautifully. Inside text was accurate and font size small enough for me to add my own personal message. As usual, Tiny Prints under-promised and over-delivered; I received the cards a day or two earlier than expected."

Alex Kovalev's last two seasons in the National Hockey League were less than memorable for the veteran forward, who sought new employment in the Kontinental Hockey League last week.
The enigmatic winger told a Russian newspaper over the weekend that he had issues with now-former bench boss Cory Clouston's coaching during his two seasons with the Ottawa Senators.
"In two seasons I still couldn't understand the ideas of our coach Cory Clouston," Kovalev told Sovetsky Sport in an article translated by Dmitry Chesnokov of Yahoo! Sports.
"It seemed that he scoffed at some players. You have to treat players kindly. If you leave someone on the bench, you should explain why it happened. This is coach's job. But when a player is benched and doesn't understand what is happening, he becomes lost."
Kovalev also criticized sportswriters in the nation's capital, saying they knew little about the game. "Ottawa journalists don't watch hockey at all," he explained to the paper. "When they fly with the team and go through the (metal detector) at an airport, their bags are filled with beer. You realize right away what these people do when they write about the NHL.
"Let them make up nonsense about me. But I am happy with what I have done. I have played not for myself but for the team and fans. Teammates have never said a bad word about me. Fans are happy. I am approached on the street in Montreal and New York and told one thing: 'Don't take the bad to your head. We always support and love you. You're the best.'"
Kovalev had 16 goals and 18 assists in 54 games with the Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins this past season.
The Senators dealt Kovalev to the Penguins at the trade deadline for a conditional seventh-round pick.
Earlier in the season, Kovalev went public with his general unhappiness in Ottawa and openly complained about his role under Clouston, who demoted him to the fourth line for a period of time.
He became an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and turned down a couple of offers to sign a two-year deal with Atlant Mytishchi of the KHL.
"Two teams in the NHL offered me to join them. But I chose Russia," said Kovalev. "I didn't want to spend my summers sitting on travel bags. I realized that I will not get a contract longer than one year in North America. Atlant gave me a two-year contract."

By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Chris Johnson is taking the same approach to the 2014 season he used one year ago, when he was fighting for a starting job.
Don't try telling Johnson he's a lock to start at third base for the Atlanta Braves after finishing second in the National League in hitting in 2013. Johnson is determined to work even harder this offseason to prove he deserves the job.
He was back at Turner Field on Friday, just as he has been every day of the informal pitchers' camp the last two weeks.
As workers loaded boxes of equipment from the Braves clubhouse on a truck headed to spring training, Johnson talked about his efforts this offseason to add muscle, lower his body fat and improve his quickness on defense.

A May 2013 survey found that 54 percent of women, said they would use a men's restroom if the private women's restroom were occupied. Only 41 percent of men, however, would use a private women's restroom if the situation were reversed.
These are two of the findings of a survey conducted by AlturaSolutions Communications, a Chicago-based marketing and communications firm, for Waterless Co., a leading manufacturer of no-water urinals. As of May 21, 2013, 106 people, mostly connected to the professional building and cleaning industries, answered all or most of the questions on the survey.
As to using a unisex restroom, where men and women share the same restroom, 64 percent of those polled said it was not an issue for them.
When asked what types of restrooms respondents would avoid using, they said:
- Gas station restrooms, 34 percent
- Train or bus station restrooms, 18 percent
- Restrooms in sports centers/stadiums, 11 percent
- Restrooms in retail stores, 2 percent
- Airport restrooms, 2 percent
- Movie theater restrooms, 0 percent
23 percent said they would not avoid any public restrooms anywhere, but more than 40 percent said they would avoid a busy restroom if possible.

Great bag!
January 18, 2012
I bought this bag as a substitute for a purse. I wanted something that wasn't leather or cloth and was more substantial. I won't be carrying my computer in it but I always carry my knitting with me so I need a little more space than a purse tends to have. This bag has a lot more character than a typical computer bag. It's a great compromise. Because it is made for a computer, there is more structure and padding but functions great as a purse with lots of pockets and a separate compartment for a computer. It hangs well on my shoulder. The straps are nice and wide. The length of the straps can be adjusted. There is an attached key fob on the inside of the bag so keys won't get lost in the bottom. Great purchase!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

Drinking With Village Elders of a Minority Tribe in Sichuan, China
The hot air filled my lungs as I climbed the rocky terrain and took in the green surroundings. It was hard to believe that I was in Sichuan, China where a devastating earthquake had struck just months earlier killing 70,000. The man in front of me, a local teacher wearing worn-down dress shoes and a dusty polo shirt, nodded to me encouragingly. Three hours later my thighs are burning and I catch sight of the village. A wave of relief and awe swells within me as I reach level ground. The village elders, dressed with turbans and blue robes greeted us with big, toothless smiles and shots of bai jiu, their homemade alcohol. Each household in Xige survived on one pig per family per year for food, but that evening they welcomed us to the table and fed us a feast. When you have nothing to give, yet give everything—that is the heart of generosity.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221727This is the 64 dollar question for many landlords! The answer is that your efforts should be layered in multiple approaches based on cost and effectiveness.
The least expensive approach is to contact the real estate department directly for franchise companies that you think might be interested. This would be based on the fact that you've observed that other locations they select are like yours and that they are not represented currently in your area. The real estate department should be able to tell you fairly quickly if it has an interest in your site. This approach takes some effort but can be very effective at a low cost.
The next approach would be to contact the major commercial real estate brokers in your area to make sure they know of the site availability and your interest. Most large franchise companies have relationships with one or more large commercial brokers in each major market charging them with finding potential locations to run by their real estate department. You need to make sure your site is on the radar screen of each of these brokerages.
The final approach I would suggest is to advertise in media that are directed as much as possible to the audience you're trying to reach. In your case, since you're interested in food franchises, it might be in a publication like Restaurant Newsespecially if it has regional or market-specific advertising options available.

Steeplechase horses in the Carolinas whose owners and trainers have an eye cast on the early season openers now have a place to give their horses a final go 'round prior to the races which count.
Dogwood Stable president Cot Campbell will be the featured speaker at Saturday's South Carolina Thoroughbred Owners' and Breeders' Association's annual awards dinner.
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Demand for young, stakes-caliber mares, led by the $1.3 million paid for 2011 American Oaks (G1) winner Nereid, ruled opening Monday at Keeneland's January Horses of All Ages Sale.
A trio of steeplechasers --- each with Camden connections --- were named as the three finalists for the 2012 Eclipse Award for steeplechasing.
The annual South Carolina Thoroughbred Owners' and Breeders' Association will hold its annual awards dinner on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center on Broad St. in Camden.
Even though it is the first week of January, there is no such thing as it being too early to think about the spring and the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races.
Every Way celebrated the final day of her 2-year-old campaign by ending the old year with a victory.
Stephen Pitcher Groat, a devoted steeplechase official and the presiding steward at last month's 43rd running of the Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup steeplechase races, died Tuesday after a long and courageous battle against cancer. He was 67.
was one of two members who were re-elected to the National Steeplechase Association Board of Directors, along with two current directors who were re-elected. Results of the balloting were announced at the NSA's annual meeting in Camden, on Nov. 16.
There were several reasons for the Wooten family to give thanks last Thursday, not the least of which were the recent showings of several of their stables' graduates on the race course.
It was called, by many in the horse racing industry, the most anticipated maiden race in the history of the sport.
Maybe, there's more to having horse sense than people give it credit for.
This time, Matt McCarron said, there will be no turning back.
Nobody blinked.
Saturday's 43rd running of the Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup is more than just about the racing on the Springdale Race Course.
While their Carter Street barn is preparing for a new string of horses which will learn the basics of the racing game, Frank and Daphne Wooten can only hope their next batch of Thoroughbreds will be as productive as their graduates who recently completed a strong summer of racing.
The Cassatt Fire Department will host a high school rodeo on Oct. 10 and 11 on the grounds of the Mid-Carolina Field Trial Club. The club is located at 925 Field Trial Rd. in Camden.
A sure sign that fall and cooler weather is around the corner occurred last Friday with the mailing out of invitations to those on the mailing list for the 45th annual Marion duPont Scott International Colonial Cup Steeplechase Races.

Flashback to 1991: "How Can I Ease the Pain"
Posted by Shamir Lee on 11/20 at 06:15 PM
The 90s brought forth slow 'jamz,' sleek music videos, and a more subdued attitude compared to the prior decade. This attitude change did not only occur in the R&B world, but also in rock as well, with the death of hair metal and the bursting popularity of the mellow, somewhat depressing sounds of grunge. However, R&B and soul was where it was most apparent. Lisa Fischer's 1991 hit, "How Can I Ease the Pain," is very representative of this.
The black and white music imagery using chiaroscuro lighting, minimalistic style, and slow pace accompanied by interceding cuts, mirrors the composition of the song. Lyrics detailing the pains of a love with another who doesn't quite reciprocate the same emotion, Fischer's vocals, covering a wide range, are smooth and fluid, much like the video.
Fischer is best known for being one of the greatest session vocalists of the era, working with artists like Billy Ocean, Chaka Khan, and The Rolling Stones. She released her solo album in 1991, So Intense, to great success, garnering her a Grammy Award in 1992 for the single mentioned. Despite her success, Fischer enjoyed being a backing vocalist much more and chose to end her solo career. To this days, she continues to accompany The Rolling Stones when they tour; her duets with Mick Jagger are her most notable appearances.
Check out the video for "How Can I Ease the Pain" below. I haven't stopped listening to it for the past two days:

But just in the nick of time the sardonic Knave of Hearts and the irrepressible White Rabbit arrive to save her from her fate. Together the trio will take a tumble down the rabbit hole to a Wonderland where nothing is impossible.

Ocean Power Technologies and cheap viagra canada the Navy have joined together to create a small wave farm off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. The company has installed one of its PowerBuoy units one mile off the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corp Base, with plans to install others in the near future to generate 1MW.
The PowerBuoy will be connected to the Oahu grid and Kaneohe Bay will serve as a test site for the Navy, which is hoping to genuine viagra low prices install these units at bases around the world. This project is canadain online pharmacies viagra part of the Navy's larger goal of reducing their dependence on fuel shipments for power.
Ocean Power Technologies has previously installed PowerBuoy units off the coast of Atlantic City, NJ and Santoña, Spain. The units are only 12 feet in diameter and 55 feet long and can be arranged in arrays that generate hundreds of megawatts. The onboard sensors automatically change settings in response to sea conditions. If the buoy encounter very large waves, it automatically powers down until conditions have settled.
The military is often one of the first users of the best place buy viagra online australia cutting edge technology, so I'm glad to see that they are also eager to utilize something as promising as wave power.

The risk is very real indeed. Past fault slip events in Hawaii have caused mega tsunamis. You surely don't want to increase that risk.
written by John, November 14, 2008
Wave power is cheaper to install, simple, and less of an impact to the environment. Electrical generation is www.jubileecampaign.nl mostly automatic, and it gets tied to the same grid, so the current operators handle it (No new manpower requirements)
Lastly, the Navy likes to keep things simple; they want to invest in a technology that can power lots of their bases - They don't all sit atop a big steaming pile of visit our site what is the cost of levitra magma, but they pretty much all have waves nearby...
That's why.

Q&A: I'm on the Pill but I feel like I'm pregnant. Am I?
I had a traumatic delivery and am trying to get my periods regulated with birth control pills. My breasts have become tender and bigger. I'm worried that I'm pregnant, even though the pregnancy test was negative. Any advice?
Being on the birth control pill is called "pseudopregnancy," because it suppresses ovulation by making the body think it's pregnant. It does this by supplying enough hormones (like in pregnancy) so that the events leading up to ovulation aren't stimulated to occur.
But because being on the pill is a pseudopregnancy, you can get similar symptoms as pregnancy, like breast enlargement and tenderness, nausea, swelling, etc. Let your health care provider make the call, but you're probably just sensitive to that particular pill. Try another one at your doctor's recommendation.

Over each of their last 10 games, the Islanders have kept pace with the Rangers and have shown they might actually be better than what their overall record is. The Rangers are elite and playing like it, going 6-3-1.
And whenever these two get together, you can almost certainly throw out their records. The Islanders won the first of two meetings at Nassau Coliseum, 4-2 on Oct. 15, and the Blue Shirts returned the favor a month later.
The Islanders have an opportunity build on their winning ways thanks to a bit of a turnaround from late November into December. They are riding a 5-3-2 stretch that has moved them within 8 points of the final playoff spot, and are coming off a sweep of Northwest Division-leading Minnesota and Winnipeg, which is just a point out of the eighth spot in the East. READ MORE!
As for Mike Milbury…
For instance, Milbury told Dupont: "I understand the culture and implication and conclusion some would draw from this." He might be eloquent on television as an analyst for NBC, but those are far from the types of words he uses on a daily basis, if you get my meaning.
The injection of public relations into news is always something to be war of. Sure, you want to get the other guy's take, but when your other witness in this type of alleged incident is the parent of Milbury's own child, you can't expect much. READ MORE!

Back in the day this used to be such a great rivalry and now it barley measures on the interest meter in this area, The Garden doesn't rock for these games anymore and you can thank the Isles and their pathetic track record over the past 18 years for that. Anyway without listing everything that is wrong with this team from top to bottom which would take pages, this could be the #1 issue, the Isles are 20th in the league in team save pct at .904 no way no how can this team compete with that number.

Rose Tradition Save the Date Magnets I was very happy with how our save the dates came out and I am looking forward to ordering the matching invitations soon!
Love them!
Rose Tradition Rectangle Invitations I loved this design! They came out great! The only thing I would have changed was if you could have made just the rose a different color but even that didn't bother me enough because I loved them! The response cards come in a different rose pattern so I used the escort cards as response cards since they matched with the invitation. It was really quick and simple to play around with colors and fonts. They customer service was very quick in response and extremely nice and helpful. The paper is high quality and is a heavier card stock which made them look like I paid so much for them even when they were reasonable in price. I can not wait to send them out!
Love it!
Rose Tradition Save the Date Magnets MagnetStreet is very well organized. I had my magnet personalized, and they made it exactly the way i described it. When i received them, the packaging was very neat. The picture and font quality was very clear. I heard about MagnetStreet from 2 friends. When i saw how beautiful their magnets were, I had to have mine made here too! You won't regret shopping here!
Perfect invitation
Floral Essence Pocket Invitations The invitations came out better that I ever could have imagined. The quality of the paper was better than most people thought we would get. We played around a lot with the layout of the RSVP card, and that came out perfect. We decided to do RSVP envelopes rather than it be a postcard, and we were concerned that the envelopes wouldn't fit into the pocket. Thankfully we were wrong, and theres plenty of room in the pocket for the envelope, rsvp card, and the enclosure/guest information card. I'm still impressed by how easy it was to do everything!

Last Sunday, HBO's Game of Thrones returned to TV, laptop, and mobile screens everywhere- setting the modern-day record for piracy with over 1 million downloads in a 24-hour period. The epic is in its third season and as the characters pile up and begin to venture beyond their home base of Westoros, fans may be feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Luckily designer Nigel Evan Davis has created "Where have all the Wildlings gone?" - an incredibly detailed infographic for the series. His site comes complete with character sketches, a key of houses, and "the complete recorded history of Westoros extending back over 12,500 years". Davis plans on updating as the series progresses so GOT-ers can have their cheat sheet ready at all times.

Man denies lewd conductSeptember 03,2014Area man denies
Lewdness charge
A Bridgewater man charged with molesting a woman after a party in Shrewsbury denied a felony charge Tuesday.
Andrew J. Stevens, 26, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct, which carries a potential maximum penalty of five years in jail. He was freed on $25,000 bail.
He was arrested Monday after a woman told Vermont State Police that Stevens followed her as she was leaving a party Sunday night on Cheerio Hill Road in Shrewsbury and grabbed her from behind, according to court records.
The woman managed to free herself, police said, but Stevens grabbed her again and knocked her to the ground and shoved his hands under her clothes.
When she tried to call for help, the woman said Stevens put his hand over her mouth.
Eventually, the woman was able to call for help and was released, police said.
Police said Stevens, who said he drank at least eight beers at the party, denied assaulting the woman said he followed the woman to her car because he wanted to ask her to have sex.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

Look at this Milton front yard---Last summer, there was a tree here. But something killed it.
Bob Ackley, Gas Safety Inspector
"It's terrible."
Look in front of this Quincy house. Last summer, there *was* a tree there. While the other trees were lush and green - this one wasn't. And now it's gone too.
Kevin Coughlin, Quincy City Council President
"I'm frustrated, I'm disappointed and I'm saddened by what I see."
It's easy to see the problem in these summertime photos of these hundreds of trees planted by Massachusetts cities and towns. Something is killing them--and some experts say it's natural gas leaking from pipelines underground. NOw, replacing those trees will cost taxpayers millions.
Jennifer Dopazo Gilbert, Brookline Town Counsel
"It's just time for that to be stopped."
The battle to save the trees started last summer, when former pipeline inspector Bob Ackley--using special equipment that checks for the presence of natural gas with dying trees. Arborists have known for years this can happen--even National Grid's own website says "vegetation that appears to be dead or dying" may be a sign of a gas leak.
Again and again, Bob showed us, when his meter registered a gas leak underground--there was a problem with a tree above ground.
Bob Ackley, Gas Safety Inspector
"This has got to stop. The gas goes into the root zone of the trees."
Bob says this *big* tree was near a gas leak, dying, and had to be removed. Now this *little* tree is in its place.
And look at St Paul Street in Brookline--there should be trees along this sidewalk. Bob says leaking gas killed them, too. They died and had to be cut down.
Jennifer Dopazo Gilbert, Brookline Town Counsel
"It's a shame, shouldn't happen."
Now, communities like Brookline are fighting back: filing suit against National Grid saying the gas company needs to pay for the damaging the trees.
Kevin Coughlin Quincy City Council President
"It's absolutely unfair to taxpayers."
The Brookline lawsuit asks for more than a million dollars in damages. Milton: $400,000.Hingham: $170,000.
Saugus: $100,000. Nahant: $$75,00. Quincy is considering a suit--officials there calculate damages to their trees cost 836 thousand dollars.
Kevin Coughlin Quincy City Council President
It's a waste, you might as well open this window and throw the money out in the street."
National Grid would not appear on camera, but told us:
*There is no existing evidence to indicate that natural gas causes widespread damage to trees
*The dollar amount cited... is greatly inflated and they say
* In the vast majority of cases, the damages to trees are found to be caused by other factors
Town officials say until the leaks are fixed, the trees will continue to die. National Grid told us they plan to fight the claims in court.

Facts finally make news amid Boston chaos
Local TV stations and a science writing professor school the 24-hour news and social media on getting facts and getting them right.
A city shouldn't have to go to bed amid gunfire and explosions and wake up under lockdown for the information it's receiving to matter.
One would have thought that bombs going off in the middle of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three people and maiming nearly 200 others, would have signaled the end of play time for the press corps and the start of patient, fact-based journalism.
A teenager in Revere, Mass., who's still afraid to leave his home after being labeled a suspect in the marathon bombing by News Corp.'s (NWS) New York Post can attest to the contrary. As can anyone who watched Time Warner's (TWX) CNN erroneously report on Wednesday that a "dark-skinned male" suspect had been arrested.
After a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was killed Thursday night and a chase, a shootout that left a bombing suspect dead and a citywide manhunt followed, the misinformation didn't stop. Fortunately for people huddled in their homes in the Boston area, a few journalists stopped writing essays and quoting anonymous sources and started waiting on facts and covering what they saw.
Some of the old reporting tools received a thorough and long-overdue workout Thursday. Local television news outlets, including CBS (CBS) affiliate WBZ and NBC's (CMCSA) WHDH, reported from the police perimeter lines in Watertown, Mass. They calmly and unsensationally kept people in the area aware of police movement and activity, reported only the information they had firsthand and received a pat on the back from the Columbia Journalism Review for staying with the story, keeping the cameras rolling and, while showing footage of the shootout itself, not editing for language or content.
People also turned to sites like Tune-In.com or Broadcastify to first-source their information by listening to the Boston Police Department scanners, as many had after the bombings Monday. While that helped quell fears when slammed Watertown dumpsters were mistaken for gunshots, it also played a role in the early misidentification of the bombing suspects.
Twitter was flooded with tweets and retweets that alleged the suspects police were pursuing were not only connected to the Boston Marathon bombings but were "Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta. Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi." That information, as the world now knows, was patently false, but that didn't prevent social media from running with it. Commenters on Reddit congratulated each other and sought "Reddit gold" for identifying Tripathi -- a Brown University student who went missing in March -- as a suspect early Friday morning but were apologizing to Tripathi's family just a few hours later.
Tripathi's family issued a statement expressing gratitude for both the mea culpa and offers to help locate Sunil. Still, they've received far more than anyone got out of 4chan, which spent the week identifying just about anyone with a backpack as a suspect in its Think Tank of images and circled individuals.
Fortunately for Boston-area residents, some folks in their midst still used social media and journalism fundamentals in tandem to disseminate factual information and relay events as they were occurring. While Watertown resident Andrew Kitzenburg had the story come to him when the shootout occurred on his street, bullets came through his home and a suspect fled past his house, others in the area sought out the story themselves.
Author and MIT science writing professor Seth Mnookin reportedly spent much of Thursday night into Friday morning tweeting police movements, situation updates and on-scene observations from law enforcement perimeter lines. As police exchanged gunfire with the suspect and dodged and defused explosives, Mnookin meted out details about their locations and instructions to Watertown residents. He also refused to name suspects and connect incidents until all the facts were in, which led to an impromptu lesson from the professor and perhaps the most prescient media-related quote out of Boston all week.
"This is classic I'd rather be late and right scenario. It doesn't matter who's first by five minutes; it does matter if bad info given out."
- Why Chevy's 46-mpg Cruze is a big deal
- Boeing's Dreamliner could be cleared for takeoff
If you really want the truth, figure out what the media ISN'T reporting.
Sensationalism at its best. Headlines you can depend on (to be false).
What exactly is the news good for? Hearing their point of view? Listening to them espouse their opinions? Not even the weather is dependable.
I'm done with them all. I wade in the muck myself, that's my point of view news.
Look at the division of comments on here. "Liberal news" "Conservative news" Fox vs. MSNBC.
Has anyone seen this so bad since the great community organizer was voted in?
Call me a conservative, I am. But black vs white, rich vs poor, men vs. women has never been at such a fever pitch as now.
We even have red and blue states...Bloods vs Crips anyone?
We need a uniter. It's no fault of Obama's, it's just that it isn't him. No one can MAKE him be the uniter. A uniter must be universally accepted, and with America's entrenched beliefs, it will be amazingly hard to find this person, symbol, or event that brings us all together again.
