By Nate Raymond and Bernard Vaughan
NEW YORK, Sept 30 (Reuters) - An accountant who scoped out
the New York Stock Exchange as a potential target for al Qaeda
was sentenced on Monday to 18 years in prison.
Sabirhan Hasanoff, a dual U.S. and Australian citizen living
in New York, provided financial support to al Qaeda and
conducted surveillance of the New York Stock Exchange in 2008,
prosecutors said. He also sought to travel overseas to receive
military training to fight Americans, they said.
U.S. intelligence officials said in June that Hasanoff's
arrest was indirectly the result of monitoring by the U.S.
National Security Agency of a "known extremist in Yemen."
Hasanoff, who had previously worked at accounting firms
including KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers,
pleaded guilty in June 2012, nearly two years after he was
arrested on charges of conspiring to provide material support to
al Qaeda.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood said on Monday that Hasanoff
appeared to be "a charitable, loving, good family man" before he
became radicalized.
"None of that, however, deterred him from planning to leave
his family and die fighting jihad against Americans," Wood said.
Wood also ordered Hasanoff to forfeit $70,000.
Hasanoff's lawyer, Joshua Dratel, portrayed his client as a
family man who was "psychologically lured" into extremism. Like
some Muslims in the West, Dratel said, Hasanoff was
"guilt-tripped" into his crimes.
Hasanoff, 37, apologized to the court and his friends and
family, many of whom were present.
"I'm very sorry for my conduct," Hasanoff said. "I should
have known better and I don't have any excuse."
Prosecutors said Hasanoff cased the NYSE in 2008 and sent a
one-page report back to a co-conspirator in Yemen. Hasanoff
additionally acquired items at al Qaeda's request, including a
device that could be used to remotely detonate explosives,
prosecutors said.
"There is simply no aspect of this case that calls for any
leniency," said Assistant U.S. Attorney John Cronan, who asked
that Hasanoff be sentenced to the maximum of 20 years in prison.
"He agreed to support al Qaeda."
New York-born Wesam El-Hanafi, who was arrested along with
Hasanoff in April 2010, is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 18,
after also pleading guilty last year.
In a letter to the court filed June 17, Hasanoff said he had
been trying to connect with his Muslim faith in 2007 "and
reconcile that faith with what I saw as atrocities committed
against Muslims around the world."
Hasanoff, who was born in China, said he was a member of the
Islamic ethnic minority group called Uighurs. His family moved
to Australia when he was a child in 1980 as part of a refugee
The case is USA v. El-Hanafi et al, U.S. District Court,
Southern District of New York, 10-cr-00162.

Three teens, three stories—all interconnected through their parents' family relationships. As the adults pull away, caught up in their own dilemmas, the worlds of the teens begin to tilt.
Mikayla, almost eighteen, is over-the-top in love with Dylan, who loves her back jealously. But what happens to that love when Mikayla gets pregnant the summer before their senior year and decides to keep the baby?
Shane turns sixteen that same summer and falls hard in love with his first boyfriend, Alex, who happens to be HIV positive. Shane has lived for four years with his little sister's impending death. Can he accept Alex's love, knowing his life, too, will be shortened?
Harley is fourteen—a good girl searching for new experiences, especially love from an older boy. She never expects to hurdle toward self-destructive extremes in order to define who she is and who she wants to be.
Love, in all its forms, has crucial consequences in this wrenching story from Ellen Hopkins.

About the Book
Three teens—Mikayla, Shane, and Harley—hang by threads to their families and familiarity. As their worlds are tilted, the three must garner strength to forge ahead and readjust amid changing realities. Mikayla is hopelessly in love with Dylan; however, her parents disapprove of their romantic involvement and restrict their time together. Desperately in love, she defies their rules, but an unexpected event drives a wedge between the two lovers, and she is forced into making a difficult decision. Shane, a gay teen who feels abandoned, searches for love and his place in a family threatened by a dreaded and inevitable loss. Harley, a naive "good girl," heads toward self-destruction as she wrestles with two broken parents who strive to overcome their divorce and build new lives of their own. Shadowing Ellen Hopkins's earlier plotlines, the lives of this trio intersect and tumble toward a satisfying conclusion.

6Q: Cast in Bronze
Six Questions with Cast in Bronze
Musician Frank Dellapenna plays one of the rarest and heaviest instruments in the world – a four-ton carillon.
Normally playing at Renaissance festivals across the country, Dellapenna went on the show America's Got Talent this year. Unfortunately, the judges berated him. He fired back in his newsletter: "For the record, the judges and the people that work for America's Got Talent can all kiss my Cast In Bronze ass!"
We caught up with Dellapenna to ask him Gunaxin's Six Questions:
|Who is your favorite Athlete?
|Jim Thorpe
|Who is your favorite Hottie?
|My wife (we'll presume she doesn't wear a mask like he does!)
|Who is your favorite Comedian?
|Robin Williams
|What is your favorite Movie?
|It's a Wonderful Life
|What is your favorite Gadget?
|My pick up truck (after his carillon, of course)
|What is your favorite Drink?
|I am a red wine drinker. Millions of French can't be wrong!
Here's a sampling of his music.

Superhero Enduro rider Remy Absalon signs with Lezyne for the 2012 season. We cannot wait to see where he goes and what he accomplishes this coming year.
Remy Absalon is a member of Commencal's SUPERTEAM and has recently joined up with Lezyne. He is an extremely talented and well-versed enduro racer. He has a staggering list of accomplishments and is without a doubt a top contender in every enduro race that he enters, mixing it up with the likes of Nico Vouilloz, Fabien Barel, Jerome Clementz, Mark Weir, Ross Schnell, and Rene Wildhaber Lezyne couldn't be happier to work with Remy in 2012 as he will, without a doubt, be putting up some really great numbers and pushing the envelope of what is possibly on and off the bike. The "enduro" race format is gathering so much momentum, especially over in Europe, that Lezyne is proud to be a part of the forward push. We are really excited to see where the sport goes in the future because this style of racing is so inviting to both riders and spectators.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that 12 million people around the world are stateless—that is, living without the recognition or protection of any country.
An undetermined number live in the United States. And while the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized statelessness as a "condition deplored in the international community of democracies" with "disastrous consequences," U.S. law does not afford specific protections to the stateless. Nor does it provide any avenue for those caught in limbo to acquire lawful status or citizenship. The stateless are left to live on the margins without any means to support themselves lawfully and in constant fear of exposure.
The UNHCR and the Open Society Justice Initiative have produced a new report that looks at the problem of statelessness in the United States. The report offers recommendations to aid policy makers and legislators in implementing changes to improve the lives of stateless people—changes that would allow them to participate as full members of society.
Please join us for a luncheon panel discussion.

EEOC Said Hispanic Women were Sexually Harassed and Racially Insulted
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Nine West and Jones Apparel Group will pay $600,000 to victims of sexual harassment, national origin harassment and retaliation, and take substantial steps to prevent future workplace bias as part of a major litigation settlement announced today by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
EEOC's lawsuit (Civil Action No. CV-04-7514), in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleged that two high-level managers at Nine West's headquarters in White Plains, New York, subjected female employees to sexually harassing conduct, including solicitation for sex, unwelcome sexual advances, sexually explicit jokes and comments, and groping of women's bodies. Further, the EEOC charged, managers taunted the women with insulting remarks about their Hispanic origin.
Despite the women's repeated opposition to the behavior, the EEOC said, Nine West made no efforts to prevent or eradicate the continuing behavior. Instead, the EEOC alleged, Nine West allowed conditions to become so intolerable that some women were forced to quit their jobs.
Such conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual harassment or pregnancy) or national origin and protects employees who complain about such offenses from retaliation. The EEOC filed suit after the agency first attempted to reach a voluntary settlement.
White Plains-based Nine West is a major retailer of women's shoes and other apparel. The Jones Apparel Group, headquartered in Bristol, Pennsylvania, owns and operates numerous retail stores in the footwear and apparel industry, including Nine West.
The consent decree resolving the case, besides the monetary damages to the harassment victims, also prohibits the companies from engaging in further sexual harassment and requires them to amend and reissue their non-discrimination policy; train employees and managers in equal employment law; and provide periodic reports to the EEOC concerning any new discrimination complaints.
"The discriminatory practices at Nine West and Jones Apparel had a severe impact on the affected employees," said EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Robert D. Rose. "This resolution will fairly compensate the victims of that discrimination and put protective measures in place to prevent further discrimination."
Spencer H. Lewis, the EEOC's New York District Director, added, "This settlement is a reminder that bias against women and persons of color continues to permeate our society. The EEOC will continue to act to eradicate such bias from the workplace and allow all individuals the freedom to compete on a level playing field."
EEOC is responsible for enforcing the nation's laws prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, color, sex (including sexual harassment and pregnancy), religion, national origin, age, disability, and retaliation. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Retro Apples Tablecloth
With summer comes lots of outdoor parties and playtime. This cute oilcloth print would be perfect for those spontaneous summer backyard get-togethers or pull it out so the kiddos can paint outside on the picnic table.
We've shared many wonderful products by German based designer byGraziela. We couldn't resist sharing the new oilcloth range that uses Graziela's iconic apple pattern originally produced in the 70's. It comes in the blue and orange colorways. There's a matching oilcloth market bag so that you can shop for those outdoor parties in style.
Measure your table and buy it by the meter. The great thing about oilcloth is that the edges won't fray, so you can use it right away! Purchase the oilcloth here.

However – take the note, bugs opened on our trac (trac.transposh.org) are the ones that we are able to resolve fastest.

Recording Industry Helps Rapper/Single Mom Get A PhD, Though It Tried To Weasel Out
from the see,-sometimes-they-do-some-good dept
Of course, Warner Music, already having done plenty to try to cheat her out of her contract, worked hard not to pay. But the dean at, Marymount Manhattan College, where she attended for some of both her undergraduate and graduate degrees, read over the clause and simply kept sending bills to Warner Music. Warner (so nice of them, as per usual) ignored the invoices until Shante threatened to go public with the story of Warner Music Group not living up to their contract promises on something so basic as funding her education. In the end, Warner Music had to pay up around $217,000 for Shante's education, and she's put the doctorate to good use, launching a therapy practice focused on urban African-Americans, experimenting with new ways to get them over the taboo associated with therapy. It's nice to see how Warner Music actually did some good in the world, even if it had to be dragged there kicking and screaming.

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. -- Senior Matt White (Westwood, Mass.) rushed for 117 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while sophomore Stefan Gustafson (Plymouth, Mass.) returned a punt 54 yards for what proved to be the winning score as Massachusetts Maritime opened its 2011 season with a 19-14 non-league college football victory over Western New England Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium.
White's four-yard plunge capped a five play, 32-yard drive midway through the first quarter that gave the host Buccaneers (1-0) an early 6-0 advantage, a touchdown that was set up on junior Evan Sheridan's (Chelmsford, Mass.) 21-yard interception return. The visiting Golden Bears (1-1) forced a turnover on downs on the next Massachusetts Maritime possession, and senior JJ Jachym (Milford, Conn.) capped a six-play, 69-yard drive with an 18-yard scamper just 33 seconds into the second stanza that gave Western New England a 7-6 edge. The visitors forced another punt with just over four minutes remaining in the half, and sophomore quarterback John Krafick (New Milford, Conn.) engineered an ensuing eight-play, 61-yard drive, connecting with junior Brendon Thompson (Enfield, Conn.) on a 14-yard touchdown pass with 1:21 to play in the half that gave the Golden Bears a 14-6 advantage at the break.
The Buccaneers took the second half kickoff at midfield and capitalized on the good position, as White's one-yard plunge just 4:19 into the third quarter enabled the hosts to pull within one at 14-13. The two teams exchanged punts on four of the next five possessions, and Gustafson, who had nine punt return yards all of last season, turned the last one into the deciding score with 12 seconds remaining in the third stanza. Despite a pair of fourth quarter turnovers, Western New England forced one final scoring opportunity with just over a minute remaining, as Krafick drove the Golden Bears down to the Massachusetts Maritime 32-yard line from his own 20 before his last second pass fell incomplete as time expired.
White, who collected his second straight and fourth career 100-plus yard performance, accounted for all but 16 of the Buccaneers' 133 rushing yards on the afternoon, as sophomore quarterback Mike Stanton (Quincy, Mass.) completed 11-of-23 passes for 101 yards to six different receivers. Krafick, who added a 40.6 yard average on seven punts for the day, completed 16-of-31 passes for 165 yards in the setback for Western New England while amassing 197 yards of total offense, as the Golden Bears were held to 87 rushing yards for the contest.
Senior Walter Butler (Bourne, Mass.) recorded nine total tackles (eight solo) while adding 4.5 tackles for losses totaling 18 yards to lead the way defensively for Massachusetts Maritime, which also received nine tackles (seven solo) from senior Mike Bois (Lakeville, Mass.) and seven solo stops to go with an interception from junior Eddy Ramos (Sunny Isles, Fla.). Sophomore Kevin Soule (Medfield, Mass.) paced Western New England defensively with 13 total tackles, including 10 solo stops), while junior James Georges (Stamford, Conn.) added seven tackles and a sack for the Golden Bears, who also received four tackles and an interception from junior Phil Tsopanides (Fairfield, Conn.). Western New England outgained Massachusetts Maritime by a 252-234 margin for the contest, as the Buccaneers avenged a 30-6 setback to the Golden Bears suffered last September in the eighth series meeting between the two schools.
Massachusetts Maritime hosts MIT in a non-league outing next Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium that kicks off at Noon, while Western New England heads to Westfield, Mass. next Friday evening for a non-league contest with Westfield State that kicks off at 7:00 p.m.
BUC BLOG: Massachusetts Maritime, which has won six of its last nine contests dating back to the September 10, 2010 setback at Western New England, emerged victorious in its season opener for the first time in five years…White has rushed for 268 yards in his last two appearances, including a career-high 151 yards in last November's Cranberry Bowl victory over Bridgewater State…The Buccaneers held the ball for over 33 minutes on the afternoon and also held the Golden Bears to a 2-for-13 performance on third down conversions…The two teams combined for nearly 200 penalty yards on the day, as 19 flags were accepted, including 12 for 101 yards on the visitors.

TOM Newey has put pen to paper on a new contract which will keep the defender at Oxford United next season.
The 31-year-old was out of contract this summer, but was offered terms earlier this month.
After considering his options, the left back has agreed to the new 12-month deal.
Newey signed last summer after being released by Scunthorpe United, making 47 appearances as the U's finished eighth in Sky Bet League Two.

There were more than a few San Joaquin Valley cotton producers who sat down to Thanksgiving dinner with cotton still to pick.
That has not be the case for many seasons, but SJV producers could dodge the bullet — early fall rains followed by Tule ground fog — for only so long.
It has been so long Earl Williams, president of the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Associations, could not remember the last time fall weather was as wet and dreary as this season.
"It is the worst harvest season we have seen in recent memory," Williams said.
He estimated a week before Thanksgiving that 20 percent of the SJV crop had yet to be picked. "And we have been stuck on that 20 percent for several weeks."
Mark Bagby, Calcot director of communications, estimated 85 percent to 90 percent of the Acala/upland cotton had been picked by the week before Thanksgiving, but only two-thirds of the Pima crop was in modules.
"That is the unfortunate part, most of the 20 percent left is Pima and rain and wet weather hurts Pima grades much worse than upland," said Williams.
"We have grown accustomed to the overwhelming majority of the SJV Pima with grades 1 through 3 the last few seasons. This season we are seeing 4s and 5s as a result of the rains," said Bagby. Extra Long Staple grades below 3 are heavily discounted. There is a 14-16 cents per pound discount in the government loan schedule for grade 4 versus grade 3 Pima cotton, depending on the staple.
Damper on season
The unseasonably early fall rains put a damper on what was shaping up to be a stellar SJV cotton seasons.
"We were going like gangbusters the first part of October and had probably 60 percent of a crop out before the first rain hit. We had a little window after that first storm and probably picked another 10 to 15 percent with a little good weather behind the first storm. Then it started raining again and the fog rolled in, and we are dead in the water," said Williams "If we had had two weeks of good weather through the end of October, we would have had this crop in the modules."
Rain totals were has high as four inches from the middle of October to the middle of November. "We are hearing rainfall totals higher for this time of year than ever before," said Williams.
Williams said the rains will reduce yields, but probably not enough to keep it from becoming the record yield-wise many were predicting. "The rain and wind probably knocked some cotton on the ground, but the real problem with the wet, foggy weather is that it is hurting Pima grades."
"We have received a lot of cotton … it is a big crop," said Bagby.
"USDA did not revise its yield numbers in November while everybody else raised their numbers," said Bagby.
USDA is predicting Acala/upland yields will average 1,508 pounds per acre. The five-year average is 1,352. For ELS, USDA is projecting an SJV average yield of 1,425 pounds per acre. Over the past five years, the ELS average has been 1,255 pounds.
"In general, it has been a good year. Yields for the most part are good and producers do not have a lot of cost in this crop," said University of California Extension Cotton Specialist Bob Hutmacher.
Four-bale fields
"There were a lot of four-bale fields picked before the rains hit and a fair number of them were in the 4.5- to 5-bale range," he said. "And where growers typically get 2.5 to 3 bales, they are harvesting 3.4 to 4 bales."
Phytogen Seed Co. has for several seasons been rewarding growers with certified 4-bale fields with special jacket. This year Phytogen has had to award 5-bale jackets to three growers so far this season and the ginning season is just getting a full head of steam. Gins do not start running until electricity rates go down Nov. 1. The 5-bale jackets are leather. Four-bale jackets are not.
Arizona growers also are behind in harvesting what USDA predicts will be a record average crop of 1,342 pounds per acre.
"It turned wet and cold after defoliation and the bolls did not open," said Rick Lavis, executive secretary of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association.
However, he said the crop is a big one. "The cold wet weather just slowed some of the guys down a little."

Horrorfest '07: Borderland (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers' 300th review lands him smack in the middle of the Horrorfest.
Three college buddies travel just south of Texas to a border town for a weekend of hard drinking, hot sex, and hallucinatory drug use. At the end of the second night of partying one buddy goes missing, and the other two go looking for him with the help of a dishevelled ex-police detective telling stories of a cult of criminals practicing brutal human sacrifices.
Like most of the Horrorfest releases, Borderland is basically a slight twist on an overdone formula. At its base the film is just another dead partying teenagers in a strange land flick, in the vein of Hostel, Wolf Creek, Turistas, Live Feed, and of course, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original and remake). Though it isn't the best of its kind, the movie does play a bit against our expectations, and it's very well made. The plot is based on a factual and publicly available case, not unlike most similar films, but manages to produce a few pleasant surprises here and there.
Borderland might be the most violent of the Horrorfest titles, but most of its gore is delegated to the first scene. Gore hounds looking forward to unrated Hostel level shocks may be disappointed, but fans of sloppy bullet hits and fist-smashed faces will have plenty to celebrate. As seems to be a common problem for this year's Horrorfest, Borderland isn't really a horror film. It contains plenty of disturbing and horrific imagery, but the suspense and violence is usually played more in the style of a cop thriller or episode of Law and Order.
Acting is solid overall. I wouldn't call any of the cast particularly amazing, but everyone sells their part. Interestingly enough it's relatively well know Rider Strong that's the weakest member of the ensemble, though this is more a case of miscasting rather than a bad performance (I thought Strong was, erm, strong in Eli Roth's Cabin Fever). The cast's king comes in the form of a shockingly revealed Sean Astin, who seems to have finally taken up Elijah Wood's post- Lord of the Rings rout and played a charmingly awful bad guy (based, apparently, on Henry Lee Lucas' buddy Otis O'Toole).
Visually the film impresses beyond any of the other Horrorfest titles, and I'm guessing it was considered for a solo release before Turistas and Captivity flopped. My problem with this bold, super saturated, super high contrast style is that it's somehow become the visual theme of Latin America. Similar processes were used in Traffic, Amores Perros, Babel, and City of God, all of which also use similar colour pallets. The look has also already been used to great effect in two similar survival horror movies—Alexander Aja's Hills Have Eyes remake and one of my personal favourite old school call backs Wolf Creek. It looks stylish and cool, and I appreciate the filmmaker's restraint in editing, but I've seen it before and recently.
I already mentioned Borderland's striking visual style, and this is the film in the set that could've really done with a high-definition release. The high contrast blacks and whites look pretty sharp, but they push the format more or less as far as it can go. Standard definition blacks are simply not as true and deep as those in high-definition, but they try their best. There isn't a lot of noise or pixilation, and the high saturation colours blend nicely. Details aren't the disc's strong point, but the photography doesn't aim for them. Facial close-ups are a little smooth and wide shot details are damaged by edge enhancement, which can partially be blamed on the flair-out caused by the bleach bypass process.
Borderland fill budgetary gaps with thick and aggressive sound design. This 5.1 track throbs with anticipation even during basic dialogue scenes. The world of the border town is alive and well throughout the feature, complete with passing cars beeping and playing music, marching pedestrians, and even some less then natural sound effects that add a bit of extra volume. The machete chops are juicy as ripe melons and the gun shots have loud and poppy impact. The original music is very effective, if not a little predictable, and does a fantastic job of bringing more Latin authenticity into the story without overstating itself.
Adding credence to my theory that Borderland was destined for a real theatrical release, this disc has the most extras of the entire Horrorfest catalogue this year. This starts with a full and informational commentary track featuring director Zev Berman, actor Brian Presley, D.P. Scott Kevan and producer Lauren Moews. Berman is the outspoken leader of the track, but he's sure to include the other players by asking them questions about their parts in the production. This isn't a back-patting track, but it isn't full of shallow false modesty either. Berman's comments are intelligent and honest enough that I really wanted to like the film more then I actually did.
Next is 'Inside Zev's Head', a featurette concerning the motives and processes of director Zev Berman. It also works as a decent making-of featurette. The warmly spirited director walks us through the filming process from pre-production through post-production, though a lot of his words are already made clear during the commentary track. This well paced feature utilizes quite a bit of behind the scenes footage and behind the scenes photographs mixed with Berman's talking head and footage from the film itself.
'Rituales de Sangre' is the best part of the disc—a little documentary about the real story behind the film produced by Berman specifically for the DVD release. The victim's names have been changed to protect the innocent, etcetera, but the basic narrative of the story is in tact. The doc centres around an interview with the main detective behind the case, and his testimony is augmented with photos and footage from the investigation, including really disturbing camcorder footage of the accused being forced to dig up the bodies as they're questioned. The thirty-minute doc also defines the religious beliefs of the drug runners in layman's terms. A chilling portrayal of a chilling event, treated with dignity and respect for the dead. If the solid commentary made me want to like Borderland more, this featurette made me pine for what could've been a really great thriller.
The disc ends with the same The Eye and the Horrorfest itself, along with another 'Miss Horrorfest' webisode. It's nice to look at half nude girls, but the webisode isn't particularly interesting, and this is coming from a fellah who watched every episode of The Search for the Next Elvira with relish.
Borderland is a well-made and well-acted thriller, but it never quite finds a voice of its own. Director Zev Berman is a skilled technician, and I fully expect more solid work from him in the future. This disc looks and sounds great, better then a low budget thriller should, and it houses the most substantial extras of the entire 2007 After Dark Horrorfest.

Thanks for the review I was wondering about this one
Gildia Member Join Date: January 2008 Location: United States Posts: 241
Despite this review being less than positive about the film, I'm going to pick it up anyway. Out of all the Horrorfest titles this year, this is the only one that looked good. Frontier(s) is the only other one I'll get though it wasn't actually a part of the official Horrorfest because it was considered too violent. Frontier(s) is being released under the Horrorfest label though. I have only one Horrorfest title, and that is Reincarnation by Takashi Shimizu from the 2006 fest. All the other titles from 06 and last year look really horrible. And the reviews I've read seem to back up that fact.

If you're like me, you're always looking for ways of to better manage the onslaught of digital noise.
Recently I evaluated an appealing consumption and archiving tool called Instapaper. I thought I'd share the evaluation process to see what insights we can pull.
We all need ways of:
- Discovering and tagging the most relevant and – entertaining – content for later consumption
- A method for easily locating and sharing that content later
- A means of organizing shared and consumed content for use in future projects (research, etc)
The professional stakes as high. As I argued in Rethinking enterprise productivity – a critique of digital minimalism, our motivations can be classified as:
- Productivity – How can these content tools improve my productivity, by automating tasks and making it easy to consume and share what I need.
- Differentiation – How can these tools differentiate my skills, rather than turning me into a Facebook/email generalist?
- Digital sanity – How can I extract value from the noise coming at me, without getting bogged down?
Why the bookmarking problem is worth solving
With curation tools, we have the opportunity to make parts of our process public. Sharing content we've thoughtfully curated builds our industry network – while giving us a push in our quest for topic authority.
The problem we face: one tool rarely solves the problem by itself. I hear from folks all the time who want to do a better job of bookmarking. They've realized scrolling their social feeds and compulsively resharing the latest meme is a half-assed approach.
- What if you see a terrific piece you'll need later?
- What if you need it six months from now, when it is long-buried in an unsearchable feed?
- What if you forget to share something you want your colleagues to see, then you can't find it on your phone during a meeting or presentation?
I'm always keeping an eye open for tools that can help me with one of those three worthy goals (productivity, differentiation, digital sanity). For example, I'm a huge fan of the Newsblur feedreader. I've written about how I use Newsblur as the reader for the 1,000+ content sources I curate for my enterprise newsfeed. But even there, I have tricky territory.
When I see stuff in Newsblur that's relevant for my feed, I post it to my Pinboard bookmarking service. That's a public repository for the feed. But what about other stuff I might want to pull into an article later – e.g. white papers or podcasts? Maybe a whiff I'd like to feature in hits and misses? Well, I can save that within Newsblur's saved items. That's a searchable section of Newsblur, but it's easy for things to get lost there over time.
Enter bookmarking. Up to this point, I mostly use Evernote and Google Bookmarks. They both work well, but when I need to locate crucial content quickly, I'm often a bit flummoxed. Those services are kind of a searchable data lake for me. When I'm writing up a breaking news story, I don't want to wade through a lake. In other words, I have a short term problem. It's that two-week content window between "immediate" and "archive" that I struggle with.
Step one – how do you cast your content net?
When evaluating curation tools, I recommend this question:
How can I combine the best sources of information in my industry, while including some "discovery" on cool things outside my main sources? (no filter bubbles allowed!).
Usually, the answer to this is complicated. There is no centralized place where you can consume and read all the information you need. The goal is to consolidate, into a manageable number of channels, your initial content net:
- subscriptions to vital content via email or RSS feedreader
- judicious use of social channels like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, which you'll tweak to make you are seeing the best content quickly
- other relevant information sources, such as private discussion forums, team chats, and private emails
That last bullet is the toughest part. It can be tricky to organize content that doesn't exist on a public page. I email such things to my Evernote account. I also have a limited gmail folder for content that pertains directly to current articles. That folder gets cleared out as articles are written. Then there is question of sharing and transparency.
The essential curation process questions
- How do you easily share content? (tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or just a social networking app)
- How do you easily locate shared content later when you need it? (search engines, tagging items as favorites, saving to Evernote or OneNote or what have you)
- How do you organize the most important content so you don't lose your hairline trying to find it?
- How much of your curation process will you expose? Where possible, share bookmarks. Example: my Pinboard collection of best enterprise articles is moving towards 3,000 pieces, with an easy keyword search.
- How much of your process can you automate? (example: linking your feedreader with your bookmarking service, or setting alerts on important keywords).
- How "mobile" is your process? If we can't do it on our smartphones, it's usually a fail. My biggest criteria: compatibility across the devices I use.
- How much of this process can you "whitelist" with approved tools from your employer? If using different tools, are you at least in alignment with approved IT and data policies?
But the most important issue is:
Where are the gaps in my process? Where are the points where I feel inefficient or overwhelmed?
I had a short/mid-term problem in my process. I identified a problematic gap between what I share immediately and what I archive for later.
Grading Instapaper – the potential of a "read later" tool
With that in mind, let's look at Instapaper. I found out about Instapaper while reading Cal NewPort's Some Thoughts on Transitioning to Digital Minimalism. A commenter wrote:
I do something similar and do use tech to simplify it all. The two products I use are Feedly and Instapaper. Feedly allows me to subscribe to all the news/blogs I think are meaningful. At the end of each day, I go through my feed and save any article that seems important into Instapaper (with just 1 click). Sundays I head out with my tablet and load up Instapaper and read everything I have saved.
That caught my eye because Feedly is akin to Newsblur. Would a similar process work for me? The main questions I had for Instapaper:
- Does this have an easy interface and app?
- Is it easy to move articles in?
- How is the search functionality for later?
- What tagging or sorting options are available?
- How well can you organize content within the tool?
- Backup – can I easily backup my content in case the tool goes belly up?
- Public or private, or both?
- Discovery – access to other users' content
- Social responsiveness – are the social accounts active and do they respond to feedback?
In order:
Interface – yes, I like the lightweight web interface and the droid app is light also (I don't have an iPhone)
Moving articles – yes, it's super easy. The bookmarklets for Chrome and Firefox work well and content is saved quickly – faster than Evernote – though unlike Evernote it all goes into one repository. Newsblur has an Instapaper plug in, so I can move content into Instapaper quickly. One advantage to the Newsblur plug is: the input form has an extra summary field where you can add a comment or keyword.
Search – the search is efficient and thorough. Instapaper pulls in most of the article, so open text search works great.
Tagging – tagging within Instapaper is limited, primarily because you can't search on either the "summary" or "notes" fields. (When I asked Instapaper about this obvious shortcoming on Twitter, they said they'd evaluate for future releases).
Organization – I find the simplicity of Instapaper appealing. All articles appear in one main stream. You can archive any articles at any time, and the disappear from that main stream. You can also favorite articles, or add notes to articles (notes can be your text or a highlighted portion of the article). Once you favorite or add a note, you can easily scroll through those items on the menu. Instapaper also has a nifty "Videos" section where it pulls any of your video content.
Public or private -your choice, in the settings.
Discovery – you can browse any public accounts.
Responsive – Instapaper has a dedicated support handle and they got back with me pretty quickly about my searchability questions – overall, I'd give them a strong/solid B for social engagement, which is far above average. I find an active social presence bodes well for the future of a tool.
My take
I hope this method for evaluating tools prods your thinking and motivates you to put in the time. I think you'll be delighted by the efficiencies later.
As far as Instapaper, it really depends on your use case. Like the aforementioned commenter, most would use Instapaper as a "read later" tool. In my case, I tested it as a "create/share later" tool.
Instapaper lends itself well to both use cases due to its simple archiving structure. My rule is that the "liked" section is for articles I am working on. The "notes" section is for whiffs for future hits and misses columns. Most would use the main river for pieces they have yet to read; I use the main river for pieces I have yet to tweet or share. Once done, I archive. Bonus: you can pull an RSS feed for your main stream – that means readers could also subscribe to it. So, in my case, I'll archive everything as soon as it's used, and I'll unfavorite things after I write about them. That will keep the main sections clean.
Instapaper doesn't replace my so-called "lakes". I'd still use Evernote for things like email-based content, and vital tech support articles I want to save. I still use keyword tagging in Google Bookmarks on some articles I save into Instapaper. If Instapaper ever makes such tags searchable, I might change that practice. For now, I like being able to call up a few essential articles via a tag, and for me, Google Bookmarks is ideal for that (though it sucks shockingly badly for search, so you must nail the tag). I'll try to reduce the use of both lakes in favor of Instapaper where I can – as long as I can avoid making Instapaper too "busy" for it's narrow-but-vital purpose.
I wonder how well Instapaper would work if your main goal was to revisit thousands of articles later on. To me, its ideal use case is short to mid-term. When you consider the obvious gaps in the search/tagging functionality, its creators probably feel the same.
For now, I'll keep my Instapaper private as I already have a public feed for my best picks. But here's a screen shot that shows the clean layout:

Many people in Hollywood considered "Life of Pi" to be unfilmable. Now that it's about to hit theaters Wednesday, there's a new question: Can it be profitable?
Director Ang Lee's $120-million adaptation of Yann Martel's 2001 book, which has sold 9 million copies worldwide, is precisely the kind of movie that many complain the big studios don't make anymore: an ambitious and highbrow creation that's not a sequel and isn't based on a comic book or theme park ride.
Marketing the movie in no easy task either. A boy's spiritual journey across the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat with a tiger doesn't easily translate into a 30-second commercial.
HOLIDAY SNEAKS: A look at this year's seasonal films
"It's the biggest gamble I've ever taken," said Elizabeth Gabler, the veteran 20th Century Fox executive who oversaw the film.
There's a reason studios prefer to make movies such as "Star Wars" and "Transformers." Eight of the top 10 films at the box office this year have been sequels or adaptations of kid-friendly books such as "The Hunger Games." Last year, all 10 fell into those two categories.

Senior Turner Broadcasting executive Steve Koonin has been named chief executive of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team. He'll be in charge of operations for both the National Basketball Assn. franchise and its home court Philips Arena.
Koonin will also have an ownership stake in the team.
A well-regarded programming and marketing executive, Koonin has been with Turner for 14 years, rising to the rank of president of Turner Entertainment Networks, whose holdings include TNT, TBS, TruTV and Cartoon Network. TNT has carried NBA games for several years, and Koonin has close ties to both the Hawks and the the league.
Turner is a unit of Time Warner Inc.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Known for his jocularity and down-to-earth persona, Koonin has always been a huge sports fan who often spends his mornings listening to sports radio, particularly the "Dan Patrick Show."
In a statement, Koonin cited his Atlanta roots as being a major motivation in leaving Turner and its parent Time Warner for the Hawks.
"My family has been a part of this city for nearly a century," Koonin said, adding that, "I have watched the excitement and potential of the entire city growing together as our sports teams achieve success. I couldn't be more excited to join the Hawks organization."
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver praisded Koonin, saying he was "one of the very best executives and creative minds in the entertainment industry."
Atlanta Hawks majority owner Bruce Levenson called Koonin a "game-changer" whose expertise in marketing and media "makes him the ideal leader to usher the Atlanta Hawks into a new era."
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
Koonin's departure is the latest high-profile exit from Turner Broadcasting in the last several weeks as a new leadership team settles in the wake of longtime Chief Executive Phil Kent's departure.
Kent was replaced by John Martin, who had been chief financial officer of Time Warner Inc. David Levy, a former head of sales and distribution, was also named president of Turner Broadcasting.
Last month, Stu Snyder, the longtime president of Turner Animation, said he was resigning. Greg D'Alba, the veteran head advertising for CNN also recently departed.
In a memo to Turner staff, Levy acknowledged the departures and hinted at more to come.
"Change is happening across our company now," Levy wrote. "These changes reflect a larger plan to evolve Turner for next-generation success and profitability," he told staff, adding, "this effort will bring new voices to the conversation and reveal things we can and should do differently."
A search is underway for Koonin's replacement, a Turner insider said.
For Koonin, the Hawks position is his third high-profile post. Before joining Turner, he was head of marketing for Coca-Cola.

A Long Beach Nature Tour - Naturally!
For years each and every Saturday, (and Wednesday's in August) the Wickaninnish Inn in conjunction with Long Beach Nature Tours has offered a complimentary guided nature walk on our property's "Rainforest Trail", which winds through a portion of the old-growth rainforest surrounding the Inn. This hour and a half long hike is a lovely, easy stroll through one of the most remarkable forest areas in Tofino and the perfect way to start the day. I have been out on this walk in the past but decided to join Long Beach Nature Tours guide Jens along with a few other guests recently. I forgot just how much information one takes away from these walks! There's so much to learn about the flora, fauna and the awesome history of this incredible area.
We slowly started our way through the loop, being sure to take our time as Jens would stop and tell us a bit about nurse logs and their vital role in the forest, the grand Sitka spruce, the importance of the cedar tree and its major role for the First Nations people of this area and more. I learned the Cedar was harvested to be weaved into baskets, clothing and even diapers back in the day. Our walk ended on Chesterman Beach and although we spoke about the amazing glass floats that come all the way from Japan, we were not so fortunate to find one ourselves. I'll keep looking!
The short hour and a half walk is a perfect appetizer for hiking enthusiasts and might leave you wanting even more. Long Beach Nature tours also offers a variety of hikes extending into the Pacific Rim Park, from half to full day options, customized to any group. At this time of year, their Storm Watching package along the Wild Pacific Trail combines dramatic seas, tales of old shipwrecks and forest exploration to provide the ultimate guided experience.

For 15 years, Lauren Stutman sought relief from her debilitating bladder pain. She saw more than 10 doctors, many of whom would assume she had a urinary tract infection and send her away with Ciproflaxin.
But the antibiotics didn't help, because Stutman didn't have an infection or any other problem detectable through the many tests she underwent. What she had were flares of pain between her belly button and her vagina that "felt like someone made tons of incisions and then poured lemon juice on them." At night she felt a frequent need to urinate — called nocturia — that at its worst had her getting up from bed "well over 50 times" to go to the bathroom.
"So I'm not really sick, and I'm not really healthy," said Stutman, 34, who would line her underwear with heating pads for relief. "It got to the point where I didn't see how I could live."
A pain and palliative care specialist (and a colleague of Stutman's) suggested Stutman look into interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, or IC/PBS. It's an under-the-radar chronic condition estimated to afflict some 3 million to 8 million women and 1 million to 3 million men in the U.S., according to the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit global policy think tank that has conducted studies on the subject.
Often confused with UTIs or overactive bladder in women, or with chronic prostatitis in men, IC/PBS has no standard definition. One widely accepted definition, from the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction, describes "an unpleasant sensation (pain, pressure, discomfort) perceived to be related to the urinary bladder, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms of more than six weeks duration, in the absence of infection or other identifiable causes."
Advocates have been heartened by increased attention to IC/PBS over the past two decades, including 2011 clinical guidelines from the American Urological Association. But awareness remains spotty, and many people suffer for years without knowing what's wrong or being told it's in their head.
Even researchers aren't sure what's wrong.
Just 5 percent to 10 percent of IC/PBS patients have the "classic" form of IC/PBS, diagnosable by Hunner's ulcers, which are inflamed lesions on the bladder wall. The vast majority of IC/PBS patients have no ulcers or other diagnostic clincher, just painful symptoms that generally get worse as the bladder fills and are relieved as the bladder empties. Ninety percent of these "nonclassic" patients without Hunner's lesions have pinpoint hemorrhages that appear when the bladder is distended, which used to be a diagnostic tool, but now it is shunned because the hemorrhages are not specific to IC/PBS, said Dr. John Warren, professor of medicine and epidemiology and public health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Warren, who was part of a team convened by the National Institutes of Health in 1989 to try to pin down a cause, said potential culprits including infection, toxins, autoimmune issues and permeability of the bladder wall have not panned out.
What researchers have found is that people with IC/PBS are more likely than non-sufferers to have other functional somatic syndromes — in which there are symptoms but no detectable abnormality — including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, chronic pelvic pain and vulvodynia (pain in the vulva).
An emerging hypothesis is that IC/PBS is one of a number of chronic pain diseases, that the problem is not with the bladder itself but with sensory processing, Warren said.
It takes a toll on people's lives. The pain, frequent bathroom trips and lack of sleep can interfere with work, families and sexual enjoyment. Depression and anxiety are common.
"There's a process of catastrophizing," said Dr. Robert Moldwin, director of the Pelvic Pain Center at The Arthur Smith Institute for Urology in Long Island and author of "The Interstitial Cystitis Survival Guide." "You're so stressed and anxiety-ridden and depression-ridden that it probably has an influence on the pain itself, and it's a vicious cycle."
Finding the right treatment requires trial and error.
Physical therapy to relax the pelvis, by applying gentle pressure on trigger points, is a first line of defense to manage symptoms, which commonly include spasms of the pelvic floor muscles, Moldwin said.
Also common are diet sensitivities, and many people find relief by limiting coffee, alcohol, citrus juices, artificial sweeteners, spicy foods or soda.
Other therapies range from the two prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for IC/PBS (the blood thinner Elmiron and the muscle relaxer Rimso-50), to experimental treatments with Botox and Interstim, a bladder-nerve stimulating device. Some people find relief by injecting a anesthetic directly into the bladder through a urethral catheter.
Patients with Hunner's ulcers are treated through steroids or burning off the lesions. Rarely, the bladder might be removed.
Stutman, a psychologist in Los Angeles, tried many therapies before finding that her best solution was to stop fighting for a solution and accept that medicine could not help her.
"Something about that was very liberating," she said.
She practices breathing and mindfulness, and when she feels a flare coming on she "invites" her bladder to soften.
Her pain has subsided, she said, as well as the frustrations of convincing others of her "invisible" illness."
"The way that doctors communicate with us is very important," Stutman said. "Just to have some validation that this is real and (to) be believed."

News that a small Montana newspaper inserted the word "allegedly" in the midst of an AP news story -- so that it read "Obama was allegedly born in Hawaii" -- caused a small furor Tuesday. But how should we read this latest commentary on the president's birthright?
A) Proof that racism runs rampant in American society.
B) Evidence that "birthers" have infiltrated the ranks of the mainstream media.
C) An instance of precision from journalists, most of whom have been too willing to accept flimsy proof of President Obama's birthplace.
D) As a window into how bored journalists amuse themselves on deadline.
It would be more fun to vote for one of the more nefarious conclusions, but in fact America can be almost certain that the scribes at the Helena Independent Record don't really think Obama was reared on the Serengeti.
I'm voting for D).

And that would be the explanation offered in an editor's note Tuesday — that a copy editor inserted the offending modifier into an otherwise accurate account from Associated Press, "thinking the other copy editor would catch it, [but] he didn't." The note added: "It was a poor attempt at humor and a poor decision, but was not intended to be printed in the paper."

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Crystal J. Rodarte-Romero: engineering safer structures
Keeping history intact
Not long after the Manhattan Project, the Los Alamos Canyon Bridge was erected, connecting the isolated small town to the Lab's technical areas. Also called the Omega Bridge, the steel arch stretches across a deep canyon that once contained the world's first enriched uranium reactor and is now home to wildlife in its watershed. Today, more than 13,000 people cross this bridge daily by bike, foot or car. And Crystal J. Rodarte-Romero's job is to ensure that the 63-year-old bridge remains safe.
The Lab's bridge engineer, Rodarte-Romero is a proud steward of the historic bridge (largest in the Energy Department's complex), honored to extend its life with design modifications and forthcoming modeling, including examining how the structure can withstand seismic shifts.
As part of the Lab's Civil, Structural, and Architectural (CSA) Team, she helps ensure that buildings, systems, utilities and infrastructure are designed and constructed to be safe.
The quest to become an engineer
Not long after high school, Rodarte-Romero began her engineering-degree quest. She knew she loved science, loved to build stuff and was good at math; thus, she said, it was engineering, and she now has a master's degree in it.
Recently named one of the Lab's Women Who Inspire, Rodarte-Romero volunteers extensively with organizations that promote science, engineering, math and computing education. She also donates her time to nonprofits that feed the hungry.

There are a lot of fitness apps out there, most cost money and very few do much more than map out a run, give you music and let you know how many calories you've burnt. Strava run, however, like its cycling cousin, does a lot more than that and best of all, it costs nothing.
Designed around a leader board system which connects with your phone's mapping app, Strava run will not only keep track of your run, but also those of others using the app on the same run, building up details of who performs best. We are already addicted, using it to try to beat the time of someone we have never met.
Strava run
- Platform
- Android/iPhone
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play/iOS
The app also does a good job of making you feel extremely unfit, by showing the top groups of people who have conquered a specific part of a run. Our local park had someone who had run uphill nearly a minute faster than we had. This spurred us on to try to post a similar time: partly out of fear that he might be a 60-year-old man; partly because we just like to be the best at things. We never managed to beat it.
On top of the leader boards and the mapping, Strava run can also provide full statistical readouts of your run. Once you have input your weight, age and height, it will come up with calories burnt, average speeds and elements such as elevation, all mapped out in easy-to-read graphs.
The UI is nice and clean as well, making it easy to negotiate and make sense of everything your body got up to. We particularly like being able to expand the map view to fill the phone screen, especially as the app has just been updated to support the iPhone 5.
Runs you have completed can be posted direct to Twitter or Facebook from within the app. There is also the option to purchase Strava membership, at either £3.99 a month or £39.99 for a year. This also includes an intelligent pace zone map, which can work out how much effort you put in during a run and a heart rate analyser -should you have biometric sensors - which will create a special suffer score showing how much stress you put your body under. You can also filter leaderboards by weight and age.
We think the free version is more than enough and a great application for those looking to try something different from the Nike tech included with the iPhone or apps like Runkeeper.

You enter the room and they're already there. Some of the names you recognize: Randa the Rhyma (45 wins), Gig@ntic (48 wins), and Novice Raps (53 wins). You've checked the boards obsessively, but you've only ever been here before anonymously, as a guest. This is your first appearance in competition. You're nervous. You signal that you are open to a battle and, before you know it, Unlimited Barzz (49 wins), has challenged you to compete. You're about to make your debut, rapping against one of the best. You should probably put on some clothes.
See Also: Definitely the Best Rap Quiz You're Going to Take Today
Welcome to rapt.fm, a new website on which rappers can face off against each other over a selection of topnotch beats, all from the comfort of their own homes. All you need is a webcam and a decent connection. It's Chatroulette, but powered by hip-hop with significantly fewer dicks.
Erik Torenberg, the site's cofounder (T Berg, 71 wins), first conceived of rapt.fm in 2009 after seeing Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme, a documentary in which the likes of Mos Def, Black Thought and the prolific freestyler Supernatural build rapid-fire rhymes out of thin air. Torenberg was already interested in learning how to rap, and seeing the documentary accelerated that desire.
"What excited me was the improvisation of it," he says. "The excitement that came with coming up with something on the spot, whether it was competitive or collaborative."
Freestyling is closely linked to the birth of rap. One of the genre's origin stories concerns DJ Kool Herc, Melle Mel, and others improvising simple rhymes over breaks at parties in the Bronx in the early '70s. A decade later, competitive freestyle had become recognized as a way for emcees to prove themselves. At the Harlem World Christmas Rappers Convention in 1981, Kool Moe Dee cemented his place as one of rap's earliest superstars by directly challenging Busy Bee Starski in a freestyle battle, insulting the latter's rhymes and calling him a rhyme thief. It was a development central to the conception of hip-hop as a competitive landscape.
Torenberg is quick to emphasize the collaborative nature of freestyling. But right now, rapt.fm is structured as a proving ground. By logging into the site through Facebook, users can challenge each other, or choose to watch others do so and vote on the outcome after three rounds. (Though rappers are welcome to face off until they feel satisfied.) A leaderboard compiles wins, incentivizing users to rap as much as possible in order to push their way to the top.
Winning can be easier than you might expect. Much of the rapping on the site is execrable. Users trail off, ignore the beat, mumble, and jack rhymes from famous rappers. In the course of watching battles on and off for a week, I saw one rapper named T. Skillz win a contest while rhyming less than half of his lines, and another who was clearly reading his rhymes off of a sheet of paper that he was holding directly below his camera's sightline.
But there are talented rappers to be found on the site -- some more practiced than others. Torenberg has reached out to the underground rap community and has found support from like-minded professionals. The ex-professional battle rapper Soul Khan is a fan of the site, and has participated in its forums.
