Sachin Tendulkar and Ambati Rayudu hit impressive half-centuries to set up Mumbai Indians' 23-run win over Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League match on Monday.
Skipper Tendulkar and Rayudu each made 51 as Mumbai scored 159-5 before stopping Punjab at 136-8 for their sixth victory in eight games of the Twenty20 tournament.
In another match, Kochi Tuskers Kerala posted an easy seven-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils, achieving a 141-run target with five overs to spare for their fourth win in nine games.
New Zealander Brendon McCullum put Kochi on course for victory with a 19-ball 37, including two sixes and as many fours in seamer Umesh Yadav's over. He also hit South African paceman Morne Morkel for three fours in an over.
Parthiv Patel (37 not out) and Australian Brad Hodge (24 not out) completed the victory with an unfinished 52-run stand for the fourth wicket.
Venugopal Rao top-scored for Delhi, who suffered their sixth defeat in nine matches.
Mumbai now lead the 10-team league table with 12 points, followed by Rajasthan (11), Kolkata (10), Chennai (10), Bangalore (nine), Kochi (eight), Deccan (six), Delhi (six), Punjab (six) and Pune (four).
Australian Shaun Marsh top-scored with a 47-ball 61 for Punjab, who suffered their fourth defeat in seven games. He put on 72 for the second wicket with Paul Valthaty (33).
Pacemen Lasith Malinga and Munaf Patel, and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh bagged two wickets apiece for Mumbai.
Tendulkar and Rayudu earlier propped up the innings after Mumbai had lost South African Davy Jacobs (10) in the third over, adding 95 for the second wicket.
Rayudu, who hit seamer Praveen Kumar for two fours and a six in the same over, was the first to reach a half-century with a boundary off leg-spinner Piyush Chawla.
He fell in the same over while attempting another big shot, caught superbly by Dinesh Karthik at deep mid-wicket after hitting one six and eight fours in his 37-ball knock.
Tendulkar, who hit left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt over deep square-leg for the first six of the innings, also fell soon after completing his half-century. He cracked one six and three fours in his 45-ball knock.
West Indies batsman Kieron Pollard smashed two sixes in his 11-ball 20 and Rohit Sharma hit a brisk 18 to help Mumbai cross the 150-mark.
Brief scores:
Mumbai Indians 159-5 in 20 overs (S. Tendulkar 51, A. Rayudu 51, K. Pollard 20; R. Harris 2-33, P. Chawla 2-37) beat Kings XI Punjab 136-8 in 20 overs (S. Marsh 61, P. Valthaty 33; M. Patel 2-18, L. Malinga 2-19, Harbhajan Singh 2-25) by 23 runs.
Delhi Daredevils 140-6 in 20 overs (V. Rao 40, T. Brit 27; V. Kumar 2-25, P. Parameswaran 2-29) lost to Kochi Tuskers Kerala 141-3 in 15 overs (B. McCullum 37, P. Patel 37 not out, B. Hodge 24 not out) by seven wickets.

Car Review
2011 Lotus Exige: Overview
Pros: Go-kart handling outshines even Elise stablemate; Track-focused design invites serious competition; Reliable Toyota engine designed to last for years
Cons: Tight cabin for drivers of nearly any size; No rear window makes street driving a challenge; Lotus brand's future is uncertain; Small size and low weight makes safety a worry
What's new: The 2011 Lotus Exige was largely unchanged in its final year on the market. Unlike the droptop Elise, the Exige wasn't facelifted for its final model year and continued with separated front lights.
The British-built Lotus Exige went on sale as a 2006 model, following a year behind its Elise stablemate. Like the Elise, all Exige models were two-seaters that featured a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive design. While the Elise's roof could be easily removed, the Elise was sold as a fixed-roof coupe, even though its top could technically be removed in a pinch. No Exige models included a rear window, though many drivers added aftermarket reversing cameras.
Like the Elise, the Exige used a Toyota-built 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Early models offered the same 190 horsepower as the Elise. But by 2011, the Exige boasted 240 horsepower in base-level "S 240" trim. An even more powerful "S 260" model was also available, as was a heavily-optioned "S 260 Roger Becker Edition," named for a longtime director of Lotus engineering.
The 2011 Lotus Exige started around $66,000. The more raucous Exige S 260 boosted that figure above $71,000. While that may seem like a lot of money for a two-seat, four-cylinder car, the Exige could hit 60 mph in around 4.5 seconds and put power to the ground through a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission.

Triton bounces back versus OD
By James Costello
Sports Editor
BOURBON — What a difference a day can make.
Twenty-four hours after suffering a 13-0 loss to South Bend Riley in its opener on Wednesday, Triton's baseball team bounced back with an 11-0, five-inning victory over visiting Oregon-Davis at home in Bourbon Thursday night.
"It was a different day," said Triton head coach Rodney Younis. "It was our first game; we hadn't been out here much and seen a lot of live pitching. I thought it took us a little bit of time tonight to even get the bats going, but I thought it started to come. We strung a couple solid hits together, and that was good to see."
Jayden Hargrave pitched a one-hit gem going four innings on the mound for the Trojans, striking out seven while surrendering two walks. Gunnar Golden loaded up the bases in the top of the fifth but worked his way out of the self-imposed jam, fanning three straight OD batters to complete the shutout in his first outing on the hill.
"He for sure came out to throw today," said OD coach Ryan Julian of Hargrave. "He had a lot of nasty stuff. There was no way around it, our guys just didn't react to it, and we couldn't really put the ball in play sometimes. This is the first time that we've scored zero this year, so he must have had something special today."
"I thought Jayden pitched an excellent game for us tonight," said Younis. "Gunnar came in, we wanted to give him some more pitches. It was his first time pitching, and he put himself in a tough situation, loading the bases with no outs, but he worked himself out of it and that's a sign of good things."
Meanwhile, the Trojans notched seven hits at the plate — including three doubles by Landon Kaufman, Gabe McPherson and Cole Creighbaum during a big six-run fourth — and capitalized on four OD errors, four walks and a hit batsman in the win. The home team also utilized some aggressive baserunning in its first win of the season, stealing home twice and scoring three more runs on wild pitches by OD's Cameron Clark, who slipped to 0-3 on the young season.
At Bourbon
Oregon-Davis: 000 00 — 0 2 4
Triton: 032 6x — 11 7 0
Jayden Hargrave (W), Gunner Golden (5); Cam Clark (L).

I've seen several screenshots on this site and using Google but I am interested in seeing more, people using different windows managers, programs, text, etc. Post your shots here please!
Knowing tha most of my recent posts have related to problems on OpenBSD, I thought it would be nice to post some of my successes. This is an old thread, I thought that even some of the Debian followers might like to see what can be done on OpenBSD with relatiely little effort. I've not been able to do this much on Titchy, Yonggun or Zubunu Linux although all three distributions have impressed me and will suit some other people perfectly.
I'm running OpenBSD 4.4 and as you can see, icewm as my window manager. Icewm is nice and responsive yet still quite flexible. I've also found it easier to get font sizes that are readable on such a small screen. The apps shown are just a fraction of what I've got running on it. Compiling can take a long time but the process has been pretty reliable, so it is well worth the wait to know that you'll end up with a package that is optimised for the actual CPU, not just ARM architecture.
So, here we go...
Forgive the poor colours on these shots which are due to the version of VNC that I've used to capture them. In reality the colours are bright and vivid and the wallpaper fades nicely from black to blue.
obsd1.tiff ( 44.79K ) Number of downloads: 116
Screen2 shows Minimo and xterm while Driftnet captures any image files that happen to be floating elsewhere in the wireless ether. Driftnet works in promiscuous mode. As a browser, Minimo is a good compromise between speed and functionality. I'm currently comiling Galeon which is also quite useful on the Z
obsd2.tiff ( 58.09K ) Number of downloads: 82
Screen3 shows the Etherape network mapper and a client for Nessus, the network vulnerability scanner (note nessusd is the server and that is also running on the Z)
obsd3.tiff ( 51.68K ) Number of downloads: 81
Screen4 Time for some office applications Here ares gnumeric and abiword.
obsd4.tiff ( 49.24K ) Number of downloads: 80
Screen5 shows use of PERL to run the SQLiX vulnerability scanner. Any PERL modules not in the ports tree can be downloaded and compiled without problem from CPAN. Try doing that from Cacko or Angstrom !
obsd5.tiff ( 54.63K ) Number of downloads: 82
There are some pretty heavy-weight applications here and they all run fine provided there is plenty of swap.
I've compiled jamvm and classpath from the 4.4 port tree but I've found that the java application I want to run fails with a core dump. I'm trying to run paros proxy which says it requires Java runtime 1.4.2.
Any help here would be welcome.

Australia is an "embarrassment" in the Asian region, a tourism conference has heard.
Speaking at the annual Australian Tourism and Export Council (ATEC) meeting, chief economist from White Crane Group, Clifford Bennett, said Australia was being left behind in the region.
"We are an embarrassment and we are a great underperformer," he said.
"We have this enormous opportunity as being part of Asia, instead of thinking of Asia as being something distant from ourselves.
"While we have been thinking and worrying about things - they (China) have been moving forward."
Mr Bennett encouraged the industry to look to Australia's neighbours and market the country's natural beauty and assets.
"If you have ever been to Beijing you wouldn't be surprised to know that you seriously want to get out of there, if nothing else just to breathe the fresh air," he said.
"So I assure you the search for fresh air and sunshine in Australia will be quite strong."
Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett said much of Australia's underperformance was because of a lack in long term plans and vision.
"We consider ourselves to be a lucky country but we are fundamentally terribly complacent," he told the conference.
"We are not prepared to make the tough decisions, we don't work to a plan and we just hope that day on day someone is going to put food in our mouths and clothes on our back."
While the former Liberal premier said he hoped the situation would improve with a change of government in Canberra, he predicted the nation was in for an "awakening".
"I think we are in for a hard spot," he said.

Find B& B Lodging
Featured Inn
West Bend, WI
The Wisconsin B&B Association presents 1000 overnight sensations.
If you like to travel like an insider no matter where your adventures take you, then you've landed in the right spot.
We have contemporary urban B&Bs, cabins on the water, historic estates, eco-inns and B&Bs for destination weddings, each with one-of-a-kind rooms. Nothing cookie cutter here. And the made-from-scratch breakfasts are the stuff sweet dreams are made of.
All our inns have private baths, so let's dispel that myth right away. The perks are plentiful and most amenities are free, like free wi-fi, free parking, free snacks and, of course, that incredible breakfast that doesn't cost you an extra dime.
Our innkeepers are the most knowledgeable concierges you'll ever meet and the concierge-to-guest ration is the best you'll ever experience. They're there when you need them and also know to give you your space.
You can have as much or as little interaction with other guests as you like. You decide
We're also going to toss this out there: We invented the share economy. The hottest hotel design trend coming and going right now is communal spaces that mimic living rooms, where guests can connect over shared interests. Sound familiar? Just call us the real trendsetters.
As long as we're on the topic of trends, how about farm to table. Many of our innkeepers have large kitchen gardens to source ingredients for their breakfasts. They support Wisconsin farmers and frequent local farmers' markets too.
Then there's the trend of eco-travel. Wisconsin B&Bs have always been the leader in green tourism, as evidenced by the number that achieved voluntary certification through the Travel Green Wisconsin program, a national model of how to tread lightly on the environment while traveling. Plus, when you think about it, every historic inn that is saved, renovated and restored means less going to landfills and less energy spent on creating new building materials.
One last note and it has to do with our standards. Every member inn of the Wisconsin Bed & Breakfast Association is licensed, inspected and insured. Which means you can sleep easy.
You're unique. Stay that way.

A nicotine patch looks like an oversized adhesive bandage.
The outer part of the patch sticks to your skin, while the inner portion
presses against and slowly releases nicotine into your skin. See a picture of
how to use these patches to help you quit smoking or stop using smokeless tobacco.
patches are usually sold in kits that contain enough patches to get most people
through the quitting process. Many brands come with different-sized patches
containing different strengths of nicotine. For the first few weeks, use a
large patch. Then use medium-sized patches for the next few weeks, and use the
smallest patches—which contain the least nicotine—during the last few weeks.
With other brands, you use the same size of patch every week then simply stop
using the patch.
Nicotine patches are available in forms that supply a
constant dose of nicotine for either 16 or 24 hours.
The 24-hour
patch may cause sleep disturbance, such as difficulty sleeping or unusually
vivid dreams. Removing the patch at about 8 p.m. may stop sleep
Choosing the right patch strength is important to your
success in quitting smoking. If you weigh more than
100 lb (45.36 kg), start with
the highest dose patch. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for more help
choosing the right patch strength.
Use of nicotine patches usually lasts 8 to 10 weeks,
but this can vary with the individual and the brand of patch.
Your chances of quitting may be increased if you use
nicotine gum, inhalers, or lozenges or bupropion along with the patch. Do not
do this unless you first talk with your doctor, because this approach requires
medical supervision.

Supply Gains
Funds are dumping commodities as increasing supply outweighs the improving economic outlook that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record high last week. The 120-day correlation between the S&P GSCI and the MSCI All-Country World Index has weakened to 0.47, from 0.72 in June, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Crude-oil stockpiles in the U.S., the biggest consumer, are at the highest level since the end of June, a government report showed March 6. Copper supplies monitored by exchanges in New York, London and Shanghai have jumped to the highest since December 2003. Global inventories of wheat and soybeans will be higher than forecast a month earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said March 8.
The slump in raw materials is "overdone" and prices will rebound in the next three months as China's economy accelerates, Jeffrey Currie, Goldman's head of commodities research in New York, said in the March 7 report. Copper will increase 16% to $9,000 a metric ton in six months, the bank said.
China GDP
China maintained its expansion target at 7.5% for 2013 and spending will rise to "maintain support for economic growth," Premier Wen Jiabao said March 5. The country plans to open 5,200 kilometers (3,232 miles) of new railway lines and build 80,000 kilometers of highways, a report from the National Development and Reform Commission showed the same day. Urbanization will boost the nation's metals demand, Jiangxi Copper Co., China's largest producer, said last week.
Payrolls in the U.S. rose 236,000 last month, Labor Department figures showed. The median forecast of 90 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected an advance of 165,000. The jobless rate dropped to 7.7%, the lowest since December 2008. The U.S., the biggest economy, consumes the most corn and is the biggest metals user after China.
Build Positions
"We do see demand coming back for commodities as the U.S., China and other emerging markets are showing signs of acceleration," said Rob Haworth, a senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle, which oversees about $110 billion of assets. "This is a good time to build commodity positions as a demand boost may help perk up prices."
Fund managers pulled $990 million from commodity funds in the week to March 6, according to Cameron Brandt, the director of research for Cambridge, Massachusetts-based EPFR. Outflows from gold and precious-metals funds totaled $1.12 billion, he said. Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by gold contracted a record 106.2 tons last month, and another 21.9 tons in March, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Bets on declining copper prices more than doubled to a net- short position of 16,391 futures and options, the CFTC data show. That's the most negative outlook since March 2009. Traders are the most bullish in five weeks, with 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expecting prices to rise this week. Four forecast declines and three were neutral, the highest proportion of bulls since Feb. 1.

Mitt Romney is right, culture matters, Part Two
Mitt Romney has a post up at NRO's Corner in which he explains why he believes that the choices a society makes about its culture play a role in creating prosperity, and that the significant disparity between Israeli and Palestinian living standards was powerfully influenced by it. Here, in part, is what Romney wrote: [W]hat exactly accounts for prosperity if not culture? In the case of the United States, it »
Ted Cruz is cruising
With more than one-quarter of the vote in, Ted Cruz is leading David Dewhurst in the Texas Republican Senate run-off. His margin is 54-46 which translates into 50,000 votes. Politico has declared Cruz the winner. This is a huge victory for the Tea Party which, polls showed, supported Cruz overwhelmingly and provided him with his margin of victory. It's also a victory for the Republican Party because Cruz is both »
Busted: The apology
When Charles Krauthammer observed in his weekly Washington Post column this past Friday that Obama had begun his presidency by removing the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and returning it to the British embassy, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer went ballistic. He vehemently denied that Obama had done so and accused Krauthammer of retailing a falsehood. The truth was pointed out to Pfeiffer during the day »
You Didn't Win That Gold Medal!

You'd be nowhere without the guy who build the medal stand! Of course, if we were in the U.S., the medal stand probably would have been built by a small business that is threatened with extinction by the Obama administration's hostile policies. »
The Obama Campaign Sinks Ever Lower
Mitt Romney has wound up a successful tour of England, Israel and Poland, but you won't be able to tell that from the headlines. The media wing of the Obama campaign has done everything possible to distract from the the strong messages Romney delivered in Jerusalem and Warsaw. Today they tried to make a "gaffe" out of the fact that a Romney aide, Rick Gorka, lost his temper and told »
Romney is right, culture matters, Part One
Mitt Romney has moved on to Poland, but his critics continue to harp on his statement in Israel that cultural factors help explain why the Israeli economy so massively outstrips its Palestinian counterpart. For example, the Washington Post's Scott Wilson calls Romney's remark "puzzling" and "not widely shared in Israel." Wilson presents no evidence in support of his latter assertion, and the headline of his story, "In Israel, Romney wows »

Mitt Romney In Poland
Earlier today, Mitt Romney spoke at Warsaw University. The New York Times aptly described Romney's speech as "lyrical," as he talked about freedom and about the shared history of Poland and the United States. Having essentially been endorsed by Lech Walesa, Romney recalled the glory days of Solidarity in the 1980s: In a turbulent world, Poland stands as an example and defender of freedom.

Our small local chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition convened a get-together last night to rally around Michele. As chapter chairman Mark Miller figures, this was Rep. Bachmann's fifth appearance before our chapter. No one »
Michelle Obama's "Shhhh" Moment, and her husband's plans to spread the wealth
In his book The Promise, left-wing writer Jonathan Alter recounts the following incident from President Obama's first year in office: A congressman approached the first lady at a White House reception after the [stimulus] bill's passage and told her the stimulus was the best anti-poverty bill in a generation. Her reaction was "Shhhh!" The White House didn't want the public thinking that Obama had achieved long-sought public policy objectives under »
Barack Obama: The "Whipped" Factor
You have probably heard about Newsweek magazine's claim that Mitt Romney is a "wimp." You remember Newsweek–it was sold for $1 and will stop printing within the next few weeks. Still, somehow, someone apparently cares what some unknown left-wing internet hack, who writes for an almost-nonexistent publication that is worth a tiny fraction of Power Line, thinks of the Republican presidential candidate. So here is Newsweek's next cover, courtesy of »
I Always Did Like Kristi Yamaguchi
This ad by Restore Our Future focuses on Mitt Romney's salvaging of the 2002 winter Olympics. It is simple and effective; it features former Olympians, most notably Kristi Yamaguchi, in a relatively rare instance where celebrity endorsements actually make sense. The ad's timing is obviously appropriate, and it sounds a basic theme of the Romney campaign, implicitly contrasting Romney, the brilliant manager, with Barack Obama, who would need help to »
The Most Striking Thing About Mitt Romney's Overseas Trip…
…has been the press coverage. It has been hypercritical, to put it mildly. It started in England, where Romney's observation that certain logistical issues relating to the Olympic Games were "disconcerting"–a judgment that has since proved resoundingly correct–was treated as a major diplomatic faux pas. Already forgotten, apparently, is the press's attempt to make something sinister out of a Romney aide's reference to America's "Anglo-Saxon heritage" and its "shared history" »

DENVER, March 28 (UPI) -- A Colorado father said he made his 12-year-old son carry a sign labeling him a "thief" because he stole $100 from his cousin's wallet.
Joseph Gonzalez said his son, Jose, is spending a large chunk of his spring break holding the sign on the corner of 22nd and Larimer streets in Denver after he took money from his cousin's wallet at the family's Aurora home, The Denver Post reported Wednesday.
"I am a thief. I took money from a family member," the sign reads.
"He's a good kid," Gonzalez said. "This is the first time he's done something like this. I hope it will be the last."
Gonzalez said he is able to supervise his son and keep him fed during his punishment because the corner is located across from his pawn shop.
The father said he is not worried about his son's reputation.
"Nah, he's only 12 years old," he said. "Everybody makes mistakes at that time in their life. It's about being corrected."

One of the most difficult problems facing Judaism today is its own perpetuation. This is not to say that it will not exist into the future. It will. And in fact observant Jewry is growing by leaps and bounds. One need not look any further than the explosion in the numbers of observant Jews in America and Israel since the Holocaust to see that. We were once so tiny a percentage of the whole that it was predicted we would one day be relegated to the ash bin of history. Now Orthodoxy the fastest growing segment (denomination) of all Jewry. But we should not be triumphalist. We have not yet triumphed.
As encouraging as these numbers are, there are far greater numbers of Jews that are not observant. Intermarriage is at an all time high. The Reform movement has had to redefine 'who is a Jew' just to keep their numbers up. And the Conservative Movement is struggling to keep attrition to a minimum. Both of those denominations have looked at the successes of Orthodoxy and have tried to take lessons from it.
While we might want to celebrate the triumphs of an educational system that has done so much to add to our growth both in numbers and spiritually – the fact is that we are still a very small percentage of the whole. The vast majority of Jews in the world are not observant… and most don't care to be.
The sad truth for non Orthodox establishments – is their numbers will probably keep dwindling. The only thing that can help retain the large majority of Jews who are assimilating out of Judaism is outreach. That has to be done by teaching non observant Jews with little or no background or education – the beauty of observant Judaism.
The thesis of an article by Rabbi Ilan Feldman in the most recent issue of Klal Perspectives speaks to this issue and laments its current decline in effectiveness. The once great numbers of Jews who were inspired to become observant has dwindled. He proposes that if we want to reverse the trend back to previous levels of success, we need to change the paradigm. From one where we focus on how to better observe Halacha in virtual isolation from our brethren – to one where we become role models for a life of Torah and commitment to observance. We should practice the precept of Kol Yisroel Areivim Zeh LaZeh – every Jew is responsible for every other Jew. We cannot just look inward. We must look outward and act in ways that are a Kiddush HaShem if we are ever to influence our non observant brothers and sisters of the beauty of Torah.
I agree. This is a theme I constantly harp on. And why I scream so loudly when some self-absorbed Jews commit a Chilul HaShem.
Rabbi Feldman had an epiphany as a young man about non observant Jews that I firmly believe to be true and have said so many times. There are a great number of non observant Jews that are in fact 'religious'. They are proud of their Judaism and want to live a more Jewishly committed lifestyle. Not knowing how to do it is perhaps their biggest obstacle. Opening up our hearts and homes in non-judgmental ways and leading our lives as role models of behavior can have a great impact on many of these people. They most certainly should not be written off, while we pat ourselves on the back about our successes.
Unfortunately the current trend especially among the right is to become ever more insular. Kiruv when it does happen in that community is an 'out of sight out of mind' occurrence. There is hardly any cross fertilization between the Kiruv professionals and the rest of the community. Which I think is in part the reasons so many Baalei Teshuva are so disappointed when they try to integrate with the mainstream. It is a fact of life, but a travesty nevertheless when newcomers are often kept at arm's length instead of being honored for what they have achieved.
But it isn't only about outreach. It is about in-reach. Like trying to deal with those among us who are at risk. Based on all the ink spilled on the subject even by the right wing, I have to assume that the numbers are quite large, and growing. These kids drop out for various reasons, including dysfunctional families, or having been sexually (or otherwise) abused. Or simply falling through the cracks of an educational system that is too narrowly focused on only one aspect of it (e.g. Gemarah or academics) and does not practice the proverbial advice of "Chanoch L'Naar Al Pi Darko."
And then there are those who simply ask the "wrong' questions" about matters of belief or contradictions between science and Torah. These can and often do steer people away from observance and belief.
Rabbi Michael Broyde says in response to Rabbi Feldman's article that this last item is a problem in outreach that he did not address. When trying to persuade college educated youth to consider a Torah lifestyle, demonstrating the beauty of it may very well not be enough. Their exposure to the scientific knowledge of the day and the contradiction they perceive it to be to the Torah is a huge impediment to them in accepting Orthodoxy. Especially in light of the Slifkin affair. When the right rejects books that try in all sincerity to reconcile Torah and science by calling it heresy, very few college educated youth will be able to buy into that… and in fact will be completely turned off by such talk.
That said, I agree with Rabbi Feldman's suggestion that we need to change the paradigm from one tending toward insularity to one of connecting to our fellow Jews outside of our own Daled Amos.
There are many ways to do it. Nothing works better than inspiration. When young people are inspired by the way observant Jews behave, they can become inspired to see what Observant Judaism is all about. But that alone will not work. Certainly not in every case. It has to be accompanied by a rational approach to answering difficult questions about science and Torah that will appeal to the educated mind.
I witnessed outreach at work in an amazing way over this past Shabbos. I saw public high school students become inspired over Shabbos – culminating with the classic NCSY Havdalah ceremony which includes stories of sacrifice by their peers standing up for their Judaism.
NCSY International Director, Rabbi Micah Greenland was at his best, infusing his own passion into the stories he told while soulful music was being played in the background. After the Havdalah was completed those kids danced excitedly to Jewish music with breathtaking intensity. Many of those kids were not observant at all. Except for their dress, one would never know they were not Frum. It was a sight to behold.
Inspiring the unaffiliated can be done through inspirational stories or through our own behavior as role models. We should always be thinking about how we look to others whenever we are in public. Or even in private for that matter. On the other hand when a Chilul HaShem is made by observant Jews, it will surely have the opposite effect
Nor can we afford to dismiss Rabbi Broyde's comments… even at the high school level. As inspired as those kids I saw last weekend, many of them will eventually go off to college and be exposed to questions that may not have anyone at the ready to answer them at that time. There needs to be a paradigm change at both the interactive level as well as the educational level. Insularity must end. And so must ignorance.
I realize of course that the vast majority of non-observant Jews will probably still remain non-observant. And that assimilation and intermarriage will still be rampant. We will never reach everyone. But as our sages have told us, it is not for us to finish the job. But neither are we free to refrain from it (Avos 2:21). We can go a long way towards changing the world by changing course. Much further than we are now.

Kit provides a nice 2" lift. Shackles and spacer are good quality. Shackle grommets do not seem to allow quite enough grease to penetrate and will make noise when the rear suspension moves more than normal (ex. entering and exiting a driveway at a slight angle). It's nice having zerk fittings to grease the shackles, however I'm frustrated that the zerk fittings are pressed in, not screwed in. Two of them pulled out while greasing. Installed screw in zerk fittings (drilled & tapped the hole).

No Christian writings match the drama, poignancy and stunning revelation of the four Gospels' inspired Passion Narratives. It is no wonder that the Church makes such effective use of two of these Narratives, those from the Gospels of Matthew and of John, in the liturgies of Holy Week. If heard, and considered, these proclamations of the trial and death of the Lord bring any believer, and indeed any hearer, into an encounter with the sublime meaning of the events described.
On Palm Sunday, the Liturgy of the Word will feature St. Matthew's Passion Narrative. This narrative, along with the account in St. Mark's Gospel, recall the profession of faith in Jesus, spoken immediately as the Lord expired, by the Roman centurion.
This is Matthew's entry: "When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, 'Truly this was the Son of God!'" (Mt 27:54).
This is Mark's version, by the way. "And when the centurion who stood facing Him saw that He thus had breathed His last, he said, 'Truly this was the Son of God!'" (Mk 15:39).
St. Luke's Gospel also brings the centurion into the story, but in Luke the centurion's exclamation is less profoundly theological. "Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, 'Certainly this man was innocent!'" (Lk 23:47). Assessment of innocence may simply have acknowledged that Jesus was framed or was the victim of Roman judicial nonchalance when it came to applying "justice" in conquered territories.
The Gospel of John does not mention the centurion specifically at all, saying only that one of the soldiers pierced the side of Jesus with a lance, that blood and water flowed from the wound, and that an eyewitness verified that indeed this happened. Was the soldier with the lance the centurion? Was the centurion the eyewitness? John's Gospel does not say.
Legend has added very much to what is recorded in the Gospels about the centurion. For example, the New Testament nowhere gives his name. Yet, he is known as Longinus. The apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus gives the centurion this name, and in any case, the name has endured.
The name suspiciously corresponds with the Greek word for lance, but, as noted, no canonical Scripture identifies the centurion with the soldier who pressed the lance into the side of the Lord.
What happened to the centurion after Good Friday? Both the Roman and Greek Churches revere him as a saint, obviously presuming that his expression of belief in the divinity of Jesus, spoken on Calvary, continued forward until the centurion's own death. (The Roman Catholic Church celebrates his feast day on March 15.)
Another legend, more sobering, has him suffering great misfortune for participating in the crucifixion. Other legends have him as a martyr himself. Yet another legend even goes farther, giving the Abruzzi region of Central Italy as his birthplace.
This wealth of legend, and ultimately the poverty of exact details, revealed or in any other way left in history, prompt readers of the Passion Narratives to marvel at the centurion's profession of faith, but in a way to leave his actually quite startling confession at that, without deeper reflection.
Deeper reflection is most valuable for Holy Week meditation, and for Christian pondering at any time. Reasonable conjecture aids the process. The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are careful in saying that a "centurion" was involved. Centurions were important figures in the Roman imperial apparatus. As such they would have been visible, and almost invariably forceful, in maintaining Roman supremacy in the lands and among the populations that had been brought into the empire, usually by military power.
In the Roman system, a centurion commanded a centuria or "century." Each centuria contained many soldiers, but not necessarily one hundred troops. Usually, centurions received better compensation than did the average man in the ranks. Seniority counted, as did extraordinary service. Promotions and privileges could come. Being a centurion could be likened to a career.
The downside of a centurion's life, of course, was that he could be in harm's way and often so.
Back to the centurion in the Good Friday narrative, the question is why was such an officer present, or even in charge, when Jesus was executed? In the broad perspective, not even the most fanatical among the Lord's adversaries, not even the most nervous Roman official, rationally could have argued that Jesus of Nazareth, in poverty and simplicity, truly threatened the mighty emperor of Rome.
But the firestorms of great rebellions often spring from a single spark. The Romans took no chances. They acted first and asked questions later when it came to controlling the underlings. With regard to the trial and execution of Jesus, it is known that the Romans had met resistance recently among the Jews. Everything indicates that on Good Friday the Romans in Jerusalem were on guard.
Importantly, the day itself was worrisome. It was at the time of Passover, when Jews gathered, even Jews otherwise lukewarm in religion, to celebrate their race's triumph over tyranny in days past — all punctuated by the pledge to be free once again.
Therefore, Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who came from more comfortable Caesarea to watch for trouble in Jerusalem, likely left the execution on Calvary to the command of a trusted centurion. In any case, reasons left to speculation, the centurion was there, and it was he, precisely, according to Matthew and Mark, who professed that Jesus was the "Son of God."
His exclamation brings the story to the level of high theological insight. It is more than about him, one Roman officer with the name of Longinus or whatever. A much wider context applies, and it is brilliant and challenging in its revelation.
Why? The centurion almost certainly was a pagan. So, he was not a Jew, not of the race to which the Son of God was sent in divine Providence.
The centurion was, and was seen to be, the assigned representative of the greatest repose of earthly power and wealth, the Roman empire. More broadly, he was "the world," the earth, charged with defending earthly privilege and things material. The very setting of Roman unease, shown in Pilate's choice to leave his accustomed seat of authority on the Mediterranean, with its heavy Roman population, and to go into the sticks and probably surround himself with more than the normal outlay of troops, dramatizes a meaningful theological contrast in its own sense.
The contrast is conflict, to the end; no compromise, one way or the other. At odds on Calvary were life and death, good and bad, God and forces in battle with God. In the centurion, not just imperial Rome at that time but the majesty of the world in all time fell before the supernatural, before the One God of Israel, the true supreme being, and the world's instincts and attachments withered before the reality of God.
Another aspect is telling. The Synoptics leave no question about the soldier. He was a centurion, a Roman officer, not just anyone. For Jews at the time of Jesus, and for the Evangelists who would have been aware of, if not compelled by, Jewish feelings, no one could have been more loathsome than a Roman military officer. The Romans insulted God with their paganism and in the humiliation and misery they daily and unmercifully brought down upon Jewish life. In a word, for Jews at the time, a centurion would have been seen as the worst of the very worst.
The centurion proves that grace can enter even the souls of the wicked, so reconciliation and eternity are promised by God to any with faith and genuine love. Salvation is no longer an expectation narrowly offered to the Chosen People in the ethnic sense.
The centurion's proclamation comes after a long series of condemnations and rejections by others, even persons who shared with Jesus the Jewish identity. The centurion's understanding put in its place the vaunted logic of justice that Roman jurisprudence boasted to be its aim and its product.
To widen this effect of the sacrifice of Jesus, Matthew states that "those who were with" the centurion, surely other Roman soldiers or authorities charged with seeing that the execution took place, also believed. They too were gentiles.
(Actually, in Matthew's Gospel [cf.: Mt 8:10ff], the Good Friday incident is the second time that a Roman centurion has recognized the identity of the Lord. In Matthew 8, Jesus healed a centurion's sick servant, and the Lord said that this centurion's faith eclipsed any that had been seen among the Jews.)
On Calvary, Jesus, for all time, and in every respect, has redeemed humankind, and not just the ancient People of God, the descendants of Abraham, the Hebrews, the Jews. All are saved — even the despised Romans, with their fearful centurions, are not excluded.
The timing of the centurion's profession of faith is critical in the accounts.
Timing in the literary flow of the Marcan Narrative, and the use of terms, are expressive. The Gospel of Mark boldly began with the assertion that Jesus is the Son of God. "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mk 1:1), so starts St. Mark's Gospel.
Interestingly, this particular, and essential, characteristic of the Lord's identity never again appears in Mark until it is spoken by the centurion on Calvary.
The coincidence reveals that all has been accomplished with the death of Jesus. All has been fulfilled. All is achieved. It is complete. It is final. Jesus, the Son of God, has succeeded. Unswervingly, Jesus has obeyed the Father utterly true to the mission of salvation. Salvation reaches indeed to the farthest away from God, unless repelled, to the scorned and to the hated in human judgments.
In a time of disbelief and theological uncertainty, the story of the centurion strongly testifies that Jesus was more than a well-intentioned human. He was the Son of God! The Lord's crucifixion was not just a turn of incredibly bad luck. It was divinely Providential. Amid all the ghastliness of Roman crucifixion, and the trickery of the trial before it, the gift of self on Calvary by Jesus was the perfect act of divine love.
For so many, including the centurion, it was supremely beckoning.
The centurion was profound, sweepingly broad in implication for every person, then or thereafter, when he exclaimed, "This surely was the Son of God!"

Messages from the 2003 ASIS&T Membership Survey
Trudi Bellardo Hahn is at the University of Maryland and can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Liwen Vaughan is with the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, University of Western Ontario, and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
For the past several years, the ASIS&T Board of Directors has recognized the need for a more detailed profile of the information professionals who belong to the Society, as well as a better understanding of their needs for professional development and their expectations of ASIS&T products and services in serving these needs. Other than the data collected at the time of a member's joining or renewing, information about members' preferences, opinions and needs has not been collected in a formal way since 1992 (Schwartz, 1994). Before that, no data had been collected since the 1979 membership survey that was reported by King et al. (1980).
Accordingly, an anonymous membership survey was developed as a joint effort of the Board of Directors and the Membership Committee. The final version was installed onto a website in the spring of 2003 and an e-mail invitation was sent on May 2, 2003, to all 3,062 members for whom ASIS&T had current e-mail addresses. It was taken down on May 22, 2003. See http://www.asis.org/membership/surveys/ to find the complete survey questionnaire.
The survey collected some basic demographic data in order to draw a profile of members' age, membership status and length, gender, academic credentials and individual annual incomes. These data can be compared with the 1979 survey results to see how the Society has changed in 24 years.
The survey was not intended to collect opinions and preferences about every ASIS&T product, program or service. Rather, the board targeted certain ones in the expectation that changes could be made relatively quickly, making the most difference to the largest number.
Of the 3,062 e-mail invitations sent, about 450 bounced back, mainly due to address errors. Thus the invitation reached 2,612 members. After a follow-up reminder was sent in mid-May, 823 valid answers were received. The return rate was 31.5%, based on the fact that the invitation reached only 2,612 members.
Membership Profile
Gender. About 43% of the respondents were males and 57% were females. The gender breakdown is fairly close to that in 1979: 44% males vs. 56% females. So the membership has not changed much in this regard during this period.
Age. The mean age reported was 45.5 while the median was 45. To compare with the age data in the 1979 survey, which did not include students, we re-analyzed the data with students excluded. The mean rose to 48 and median 49. On average, the current membership is at least five years older than it was in 1979 when the mean was 43 and the median 41 (mean difference was 5 while median difference was 8). Although average age has increased during the past 24 years, aging is not unique to this Society; according to the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (http://www.mdsg.umces.edu/CSSP/home.html), most other scientific societies are facing the same demographic issue.
Membership Status. Respondents were asked to indicate how many years they have been members and their membership type (regular, students, retired, lapsed). The mean member year was 8 while the median was 4. It is encouraging to note that 21.6% of respondents were students who are likely to become future regular members.
Work Organization. The type of organization that members primarily work for has changed considerably since 1979. The largest group in 1979 was industrial sector (35.6%) while the corresponding group of business/commercial in the 2003 survey was only 18%. Currently only about 8% of members work for government while 16% did in 1979. The largest employer of current members is educational (57%) compared with 27% in 1979. Because the 1979 study did not include students, we re-analyzed the 2003 data excluding students. The result still shows "educational" to be the largest group, 53%, much larger than in 1979. Clearly, a significant change has occurred in this aspect of the membership profile.
Type of Work Performed. The two most frequently chosen categories were "teacher/instructor/trainer" and "researchers." Combined they represent almost 30% of ASIS&T members. They are most likely academic faculty members as numerous people chose these two categories together and their work organizations were educational. Academic librarian was the third largest group, about 11%.
Highest Degree Obtained. The largest group of people (55.6%) has a master's degree. The percent of doctoral degree holders (32.3%) is much higher than in the 1979 study (17.5%). This is probably the result of the significant increase of members in "educational" organizations, perhaps academics, reported above. Only 11.5% of people have bachelor's degree as their highest degree, a decrease from the 1979 figure of 17.1%. The educational level of current members appears to be much higher than that in 1979.
Field of Study for the Highest Degree. The results showed that the dominant field was library and information science (66.2%). A distant second was arts and humanities, only 9.1%. All other fields were under 5%. Clearly, ASIS&T has its roots in the LIS field.
Salary. Respondents' median salary was in the $40,000 to $60,000 range. To compare the 2003 salary data with that from the 1979 survey where students were not included, we analyzed the 2003 data without students. The median then rose to the $60,000-$80,000 range. The median salary in 1979 was $25,500 (King et al, 1980, p. 11). This figure is equivalent to $63,188 in 2003, according to the consumer price index calculation supplied by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://www.bea.gov). It appears that current ASIS&T members' salaries are at least comparable to or maybe higher than their 1979 counterparts.
Primary Society
About half of the respondents reported that ASIS&T is their primary professional society and half listed some other society. Among the other societies listed, American Library Association (ALA) was the most common, followed by Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Special Libraries Association (SLA). Respondents' primary reason for maintaining ASIS&T membership was "learning about new developments/issues in the field." However, respondents who said that another society was their primary society said their main reasons for maintaining membership in the other society were "networking" and "learning new skills/knowledge to use on the job." It appears that ASIS&T is doing well in providing opportunities for learning about new developments in the field while other societies are better serving the needs of networking and learning job-related skills.
For the question about what would make ASIS&T conferences more appealing, the top two responses were both cost-related: make conference registration and conference hotel less expensive. The third-ranked response probably was also cost-related: conference closer to home (which means less travel expense). "More informal networking opportunities" and "More opportunities to meet leaders in the field" were the two highest-ranking factors following the cost factor.
Among members who attended the Annual Meeting in the past three years, the vast majority (83%) gave the primary reason as "listen to papers and presentations." Face-to-face contact and networking with other information professionals was another important reason for attending the conference. In contrast, only about 40% of people attended a conference to deliver papers and presentations. The two lowest ranking reasons were related to job seeking (looking for jobs or looking for job candidates).
In looking more closely at the data on paying for conference attendance, we discovered that students are more likely to pay out of pocket. Students also fall disproportionately more into the group who did not attend a conference in the past three years. Given the aging of ASIS&T, more needs to be done in making the Society and the conference more appealing and accessible to the young members, especially students.
In contrast, people who have a higher degree (doctorate) are more likely to attend the Annual Meeting and also more likely to have the cost fully paid by their employers. As people with higher education levels also have higher salaries (a finding reported later), the study found that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer; people who earn less are more likely to pay for the conference themselves. These findings, combined with the finding that cost is a main deterrent of conference attendance, suggest that ASIS&T needs to find ways to reduce conference costs in order to have larger attendance with broader representation of different types of members.
To find out how conference attendance relates to other factors, we analyzed how "membership age" (number of years being an ASIS&T member) related to conference attendance (currently attend or not) and primary society (whether ASIS&T is the primary society). The analysis showed that older members are more likely to attend conferences and also consider ASIS&T as their primary society. This suggests that ASIS&T needs to promote itself to the relatively new members, attracting them to attend the conference, which could also result in them considering ASIS&T as their primary society.
Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
In answer to the question "What would make the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology more appealing to you?" the most frequently chosen answer (58%) was "more general interest articles on current trends and developments." This suggests that the Bulletin needs to revise its content coverage to have more general interest articles on current trends and developments in information science. However, 27% of respondents were so satisfied with the Bulletin that they recommended no change.
The percent of people who had opposite opinions on the value of news about ASIS&T members was very close and very small, suggesting that no change is needed in this regard. However, the number of people asking for more news about SIGs was more than four times than the number of those asking for less SIG news. There is no clear winner between the two options of more vs. less chapter news.
Value of Proposed Products and Services
The survey asked: "What do you anticipate will be the level of value to you of each of the following proposed ASIS&T products or services?" The products/services in order of value assigned by members were digital library, applications magazine, website, continuing education and job services. Even though job services ranked lowest, we found with further analysis that an important constituency of ASIS&T values job services: younger people with lower incomes. If ASIS&T wants to improve the Society's value to younger, newer members, it should make enhancing job services a priority.
Relationship Between Gender, Education and Salary
We found a gender difference in salary, with males earning more on average. The 1979 ASIS&T survey also found that females had lower salaries on average. However, further analysis of other factors revealed that this difference could be attributed to the gender difference in education level. Not surprisingly, we found that higher degrees correlated with higher salaries. Males were over represented in the doctoral level of education while females were over represented in the bachelor level of education. Further, there was significant gender difference in field of study; females fell disproportionately more into the LIS group while males more into the fields of computer science, physical and life sciences.
Among current members, those working in the business/commercial sector are better paid than those in the educational sector. This contrasts to the 1979 situation where the two sectors were comparable in salary.
Open-Ended Responses
In addition to the particular issues discussed above, the Board of Directors hoped that respondents would convey other important issues or concerns. Therefore an open-ended question appeared at the end for that purpose. Because of space limitations, we can report only a sampling of the comments here, grouped thematically. We have condensed the ideas into our own words, for the sake of brevity and clarity.
Conferences. The lead-time for submitting papers or proposals for SIG sessions is too long and the submission process is too cumbersome. Some members want the Call for Papers for the Annual Meeting to allow presentations from people in the private sector who do not have time to write formal papers. Others want ASIS&T conferences to stay focused on research, because that is what distinguishes us from other societies.
Continuing Education. ASIS&T should offer more interactive, online continuing education workshops on new, fresh topics. ASIS&T should offer symposia or seminars in local areas that are easier to get to than the national conference.
SIGs and Chapters. Every SIG should communicate (perhaps via the Bulletin), "What's new in our field this year." SIGs not only need to sponsor activities and programs every year, they need to communicate what they do. SIGs and chapters need to do more outreach to potential volunteers. Chapter members who live geographically remote from the "core" of chapter members are frustrated at not being to attend chapter meetings. One respondent said, "Local chapter activities distinguish ASIS&T from ALA and motivate me to keep my membership."
International. In order to build an international information science and technology community, ASIS&T should support a networked collaborative structure, including an electronic list or forum for discussing global issues. ASIS&T should have more chapters around the world (e.g., in India). ASIS&T should focus more on needs of members or potential members from developing countries, including reduced membership fees. Hold the Annual Meeting or a summit in Europe. Drop the word American in the name; substitute International.
Website. The ASIS&T website needs a major facelift. It is difficult to get around and find information in it. The ASIS&T website should have summaries of the ASIS&T Board meetings, access to older archived journal articles of JASIS&T, papers and presentations from the Annual Meeting after the conference and free online courses for members.
Membership Data. The membership database should be accessible to all members. Headquarters should provide accurate, useful and timely membership data to chapters.
Information Architecture. ASIS&T should sponsor traveling lecturers in the field of IA. If this were too expensive, Webinars (Web seminars) would be the next best thing, or offer smaller symposiums that are close enough to afford travel and short enough during the work week to fit into one's schedule. ASIS&T should offer more on Web portals, usability and design of information systems and services, and offer more seminars for IAs close to the beginning of their careers. ASIS&T should lead the development and professionalization of information architecture as a sub-discipline of information science. Build bridges between academia and information architecture practice. Increase the visibility and prestige of information science. Help recruit top students to IS graduate programs.
Students. ASIS&T should provide more support for student chapters from the professionals in the organization and should lengthen the time for student membership.
Conferences (Real and Virtual). Place Internet kiosks throughout the conference area, both for display of posters and conference information, as well as to allow attendees to chat, maintain blogs and check e-mail. Have more detailed abstracts of each conference presentation to allow for a more informed decision as to which one to attend when there are simultaneous sessions. With travel budgets getting tighter, offer ways for people to "attend" programs virtually. Funding and travel restrictions make non-conference ASIS&T services increasingly important.
JASIS&T. Some respondents said that JASIS&T articles are very academic or "too technical." They want more practical articles on various topics that would be more accessible to people in the business environment. Some also expressed a desire for publications and programming that are more applications-oriented, that would help people do their jobs (e.g., case studies, advice/tips). Some members would like not to get JASIS&T (too technical, too theoretical, too mathematical, too academic), and do not want the cost of JASIS&T bundled into membership dues. On the other hand, some expressed appreciation for the high quality of JASIS&T ("real science") and said that it was an important reason for continuing their membership.
Careers/Jobs. ASIS&T members should help students and young professionals in building portfolios and resumes and give advice in navigating the job market or changing careers in the information field. Job listings should include more than just academic positions.
Sense of Community. There is too much cliquish behavior in ASIS&T, especially at receptions and social events. Some members wish that the atmosphere at conferences felt friendlier. The first-timers breakfast is a good start, but more needs to be done to make newcomers feel welcome. There is too much snobbery on the part of senior researchers. ASIS&T should do a better job of bringing together researchers and practitioners they have much to learn from each other. Information science researchers should be bringing into ASIS&T researchers from other fields with whom they are working.
Valuable data were obtained from this survey which provide not only ASIS&T but also the information science community in general useful information on current status and future development. The Society's leadership, the executive director and headquarters staff, and every other member in a position to recruit or mentor young information professionals need to study all the data and suggestions very seriously, and use them for taking action, setting priorities for the future and improving ASIS&T.
More details about the methodology and findings will appear in a forthcoming article in JASIS&T, which will be found at the ASIS&T Web address mentioned above. Also, we will be leading a discussion session on the findings and implications for the future of ASIS&T at the 2004 Annual Meeting in Providence, Rhode Island.
We are grateful to Richard Hill, ASIS&T executive director, for his help in the study and his valuable insights about ASIS&T. All suggestions and comments received in the design of the study are gratefully acknowledged. On behalf of the ASIS&T Board of Directors, we thank all survey participants whose efforts made the project possible.

#wef12: What news outlets can learn from magazines on content presentation
Bonnier Business Media designer Jacek Utko has previously spoken about the need for news outlets to break the template format online, in the way they can with their print products.
Speaking at the World Editors Forum in Kiev today, Utko helpfully highlighted the ways in which news outlets can show that creativity in the presentation of their newspaper print products. And the place to look for inspiration is in magazines. Put simply, he said, "I don't look for inspiration in newspapers anymore".
The key lessons for newsrooms to take from magazine content presentation include finding a balance between long and short pieces, producing simple visuals and offering bite-sized chunks of information, the latter being a news presentation format which also "increases understanding".
Magazines also demonstrate how to "tell stories almost without words", he said, and "surprise the readers" with different news design on the front page.
That's what we do with our newspapers, play the white space…
This then looks "totally different in the kiosk on the shelf than the other newspapers", he said.
And this design approach need not only be for news outlets with sizeable resources. It is "very cheap" to do, he said, and takes just a few hours a day, and means print products can get a step ahead of digital in terms of design.
Art direction and news presentation is so weak on the web, it's our strength, it's our competitive advantage for print.

text: This story was in WIRED. You might want to be careful if you're doing any work in Mexico Mexican Cartels Enslave Engineers to Build Radio Network By Robert Beckhusen The Mexican military is trying to dismantle an extensive network of radio antennas built and operated by the notorious Zeta drug cartel. But the authorities haven't had much luck shutting Radio Zeta down. Not only is much of the equipment super-easy to replace. But the cartel has also apparently found some unwilling — and alarming — assistance by kidnapping and enslaving technicians to help build it. At least 36 engineers and technicians have been kidnapped in the past four years, according to a report from Mexican news site Animal Politico, with an English translation published by organized-crime monitoring group InSight. Worse, none of the engineers have been held for ransom — they've just disappeared. Among them include at least one IBM employee and several communications technicians from a firm owned by Mexico's largest construction company. "The fact that skilled workers have been disappearing in these areas is no accident," Felipe Gonzalez, head of Mexico's Senate Security Committee, told the website. "None of the systems engineers who disappeared have been found," Gonzalez said. Unlike Colombia, where drug traffickers control large amounts of territory and can keep hostages for many years, Mexico's drug territory is more in flux. "When they need specialists they catch them, use them, and discard them," said the father of one kidnapped engineer. For at least six years, Mexico's cartels have relied in part on a sophisticated radio network to handle their communications. The Zetas hide radio antennas and signal relay stations deep inside remote and hard-to-reach terrain, connect them to solar panels, and then link the facilities to radio-receiving cellphones and Nextel devices. While the kingpins stay off the network — they use the internet to send messages — the radio network acts as a shadow communication system for the cartels' lower-level players and lookouts, and a tool to hijack military radios. One network spread across northeastern Mexico and dismantled last year included 167 radio antennas alone. As recently as September, Mexican marines found a 295-foot-high transmission tower in Veracruz state. And while the founding leadership of the Zetas originated in the Mexican special forces — and who might have had the know-how to set up a radio system — relatively few of the ex-commando types are still active today. One engineer, named Jose Antonio, was kidnapped in January 2009 while talking on the phone with his girlfriend outside a mechanics shop. He worked for ICA Fluor Daniel, a construction company jointly owned by U.S.-based Fluor Corporation and ICA, Mexico's largest construction firm. Antonio's family contacted the authorities, but were instead visited by a man claiming to be an ICA employee along with two Zetas. "They said they were going to help us, and that our contact would be ICA's security chief," said the kidnapped engineer's mother. But the group's message was implicit: Don't pursue this, or else. The cartel members were later arrested, but Antonio never returned. Alejandro Moreno, an IBM engineer kidnapped in January 2011 while traveling from Monterrey to the Texas border city of Laredo, hasn't been heard from since. In 2009, nine contractors hired to build radio antennas in the border city of Nuevo Laredo — a Zetas stronghold — were kidnapped from a rented apartment by masked gunmen. They were taken with their vehicles and equipment. Aside from the radios, the cartel's extensive weaponry alone caused GlobalPost's Ioan Grillo to note "whether [the Zetas] should continue to be labeled as drug traffickers — or need a more martial description." Now add a military-grade communication system built with slave labor. It'd also be one thing if jamming the radio network or tracking down and dismantling the equipment were enough to stop it. But that might not be enough.
