First official photo from SECOND Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, released
In this exclusive first image from the second film, The Desolation of Smaug, in theaters Dec. 13, 2013, we see Bilbo Baggins going for the gold. To be more exact, we see Martin Freeman's reluctant hobbit hero splayed out on a massive pile of treasure, looking up in hobbit-y alarm at what we can probably safely assume is an enormous and not very happy fire-breathing dragon named Smaug.
In fact, as anyone who's read the book knows, the tale of The Hobbit — which Jackson is expanding considerably by drawing on some 120 pages of appendices Tolkien wrote to The Lord of the Rings that elaborate on the story — actually continues well past the face-off with Smaug at the Lonely Mountain, culminating eventually in the epic battle Battle of Five Armies, involving Laketown men, orcs, dwarves, goblins, elves, wargs, and giant eagles.
"The dragon is a huge, wonderful, amazing part of the story, but it doesn't end there," says screenwriter and producer Philippa Boyens. "Everyone can suspect there's a rather large battle in film three."

The structure of the American university has long been a subject of contention, and now is no exception, especially given the current economic climate. Last year, Mark Taylor called for an end to tenure and traditional disciplines in The New York Times op-ed, "End of the University as We Know It," and William Pannapacker's column, "Graduate School in the Humanities: Just Don't Go," was among the most viewed links on the Chronicle of Higher Education's website.
If the system looks broken – not just to academics or those fighting the culture wars, but to anyone invested in the idea of a liberal arts education – then fixing it requires an understanding of how the American university came to be in its current state.
This emphasis on historical perspective as a first step to reform distinguishes Louis Menand's The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University. Located somewhere between Gerald Graff's "Professing Literature," which takes the history of literary studies as its focus, and more polemical calls for reform like Taylor's, Menand approaches his subject by identifying four widespread problems in academia, tracing them back to their roots, and offering ways to move beyond them.
These include the trend of "interdisciplinarity," the ubiquitous center-left politics of faculty, the identity crisis of the humanities, and the all-too-contentious question of what should constitute a general education program. (Menand was on the committee that recently revamped the curriculum at Harvard University and the book is dedicated to his fellow members.) In excavating the origins of these trends, Menand – whose discipline is English, but who won a 2002 Pulitzer Prize for "The Metaphysical Club," his outstanding intellectual history of modern America following the Civil War – shows how slippery knowledge and its production can be.
"[F]ew institutions are so conservative as the universities about their own affairs while their members are so liberal about the affairs of others," Clark Kerr, a chancellor of the University of California, noted in the early '60s. Menand's reference to Kerr is a keynote for his study, which shows a keen eye for the paradoxes of university life. The debates on general education and the snail's-pace process of redesigning it, Menand observes, have "been compared to a play by Samuel Beckett, but the comparison is inapt. Beckett's plays are short." Instead, Menand's analogy is to psychoanalysis: "interminable, repetitive, and inconclusive." Along the same vein, he notes the circular logic of great books programs (we read them because they're great and they're great because we read them).
Menand is renowned as a writer with a cool tone and a keen wit (witness his description of Sputnik as having "the size and lethal potential of a beach ball"). These qualities, and the book's humanitarian yet practical underpinnings, make it a compelling read.
The history he relates is absorbing, too, serving as a reminder that academia has been an arena interwoven with political agendas and anxieties since the Civil War. General education, for instance, was conceived of during the two World Wars, spurred by a perceived need for cultural unification and civic education among American youth. Columbia's first general education course, titled "War Aims," was created at the request of the Army for the Student Army Training Corps, a forerunner of ROTC. A humanities component was adopted later, prompted by the xenophobia of one professor whose anxiety about the increasing enrollment of Jewish immigrants led him to propose a required class in "great Anglo-Saxon writers."
Recounting the circumstances that led Harvard's president, Charles Eliot, to establish a liberal arts degree as a prerequisite for professional degrees like law or medicine, Menand calls into question this divide that has become naturalized in higher education. Increased mixing of theoretical knowledge with practical application would serve both students and faculty well, he suggests, something many liberal arts professors have shied away from, much to the detriment of their own programs. The percentage of students pursuing degrees in math has fallen by about half since 1971, and the same is true for English.
Another striking statistic is the fact that 47 percent of college teaching is done by part-time faculty – though "part time" is a misnomer, since they often carry a full-time load – who are paid a fraction of a tenure-track salary and nowhere near a living wage. By explaining the conditions (unlikely to reverse) that have sent the academic marketplace into a long decline, Menand exposes the illogic of the current system, which has produced a glut of overtrained, underemployed PhDs. Menand rightly recognizes this as a species of institutionalized exploitation, only the first on a list of university practices in need of deep reform.
Elizabeth Toohey is an English professor at Principia College in Elsah, Ill., where she specializes in postwar American culture.

This is probably old news to anybody who's used to Ruby on Macs, but I'm not. I like using MacPorts when I can, so that's where my Ruby runs from.
I went looking for pcap modules and found a bunch, but the most promising seemed to be packetfu. It came with a caveat: "PacketFu is reported to work on OS X, assuming you can get pcaprub installed correctly."
So the first step was to get pcaprub going. You can get it at rubyforge, the trick is it has a README, a single C source file, and a small ruby script. It turns out the secret is to do 'ruby extconf.rb', which will create a Makefile for you, and you can then 'sudo make install'.
The author of packetfu recommends sticking with sources, available here. Check them out like this: 'svn checkout http://packetfu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ packetfu-read-only' – I like doing this in ~/src, but your tastes may differ. Use the pcaprub_linux directory, and again, 'ruby extconf.rb' followed by a make / make install. The test script bombs out – by default it wants to use the fw0 device. Nevertheless, I pressed on and did as suggested: 'cd .. && sudo ruby setup.rb' which finished with no failures.
Note that following these steps will pollute your MacPorts ruby install with files about which it knows nothing – I generally like to avoid this, but it seems like scripting languages insist on having their own packaging systems that make it not quite impossible to work with other such systems.
Then I wrote a little test script that should just count packets:
#!/opt/local/bin/ruby require 'packetfu' filename = ARGV[0] || exit count = 0 incap = PacketFu::Read.f2a(:file => filename) incap.each do |pkt| p = PacketFu::Packet.parse(pkt) count += 1 end puts "#{count} packets"
I would not recommend doing as I did and turning it loose on a 711MB pcap trace – top showed the process using 1.9GB of memory before I managed to get a responsive terminal to kill it. It fared slightly better on a 12MB trace (a subset of the larger ones) and correctly counted 85411 packets, but still hit 265MB:
real 4m0.359s user 3m16.012s sys 0m1.891s
I'm a fairly-incompetent Ruby programmer, but the above seems fairly straightforward – I'm not sure I'd want to turn this parser loose on anything of any real size. While 711MB is a pretty big trace to be parsing, 12 is pretty small. To be fair, I had other processes running at the time, including a Windows 7 VM that was patching (unbeknownst to me) but it's a 4GB dual core machine. I'd been hoping to more easily pull various bits of data out of the larger file, but it looks like I'm stuck with tcpdump and tshark for now.
ETA: I had been going to post again about xtractr, but it's not a 100% Mac/Ruby solution. It provides an interface so that I could use Mac Ruby installs to talk to an xtractr instance, but so far as I can tell, there's no 100% Mac solution. So I'm running it on an Ubuntu box, but I won't bother detailing how I got it going – it was pretty straightforward, although it required some work I'd already done to make gems sane on an 8.04 system.

2008 4x4 Of The Year Winner - 2008 Toyota Land CruiserPosted in Project Vehicles on February 1, 2008
The '08 Land Cruiser has evolved a long way from the rugged FJ-40s of years gone by. Gone are the removable hardtop, solid axles, manual transmissions, and burly leaf-spring suspensions. In their place are the leather-lined interior, independent and coil-sprung suspension, monster V-8 power, computer-controlled transmissions, and technologically advanced traction control systems that process what every wheel is doing while on or off road and calculates a method to keep the vehicle moving in a safe, efficient way.
At first glance, the Land Cruiser doesn't reveal its off-road ability. It's missing the big aggressive tires of the Hummers and Wrangler, and while it has skidplates, it lacks the ground clearance that some competitors have. But don't let the looks fool you (or should we say bore you), because the Toyota quietly carries a big stick. That stick comes in the form of 401 lb-ft of torque under the hood from its 5.7L V-8. And more often than not, big power under the hood can allow judges to not only have fun in the high-speed, hillclimb, and sand sections, but also propel a 3-ton pig of an SUV through rocky trails and silty dirt washes.
And then there is the traction control. We loved it and we hated it, and we hated that we sometimes loved it. The Crawl mode, where you can choose different rates of forward motion while in low range, allows you to let your foot off the gas and the rig will claw its way forward, requiring just steering advice from the driver seat. If traction ceases, the brakes activate to eliminate wheelspin, and if flexibility is needed, sway bars are released to let tires droop at will. We have long been distrustful of any of these performance nannies, but we loved that we could turn it all off if desired, and yet when left on we hated to admit that it actually worked better than we wanted it to. Damn the machine that can work so good that drivers are almost unneeded, but kudos to the engineers that actually figured out how to make it work, and work well.
This declaration of the '08 Toyota Land Cruiser as our 2008 4x4 of the Year will no doubt bring cries of contempt from some readers. We didn't expect it to win so handily, but consider that other than the Jeep, the Land Cruiser has more history in the dirt than the rest of the field has. Though many anticipated one of the American 4x4s (Hummer/Jeep) to win, the Cruiser finally had a trait the others lacked and which American four-wheelers have long cherished-seriously fun V-8 power.

All year long, Old Barn Self-Storage in Grass Valley is "Happy." Happy Cow, Happy Graduates and Happy Father's Day are among the latest things to be glad about.
It's more than an amusing view offered to 25,000 motorists each day from the prominent hill along Highway 20/49.
It's more like a life view, owners say. Since the locally owned company started partnering with western Nevada County schools, students and teachers are happy, too, with art competitions and electronic waste fundraisers that benefit local education.
In June, Union Hill School, just east of Grass Valley, is benefiting from Old Barn's monthly collection of unwanted computers, monitors, printers, cell phones, radios and other electronic junk. Take your e-waste from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to the self-storage office at 175 Spring Hill Drive, off Idaho-Maryland Road.
Union Hill is among 29 nonprofit and educational groups Old Barn has partnered with for the monthly e-waste collection or for the Happy Art Contest, said Stephen R. DeSena, of Nevada City. (DeSena is managing partner and developer of the facility, which is owned by a group of Grass Valley and Nevada City residents.)
These two types of partnerships keep Old Barn an active part of the community, said DeSena, a Realtor who has lived and worked in western Nevada County for more than 45 years.
"Union Hill was among the first schools to respond … to our Happy Art Contest. They've supported us, and we're glad to support them with this e-waste drive," DeSena added.
The art partnership with Union Hill started last year, said Pupil-Personnel Secretary Pam Torkman.
"A couple teachers had students do art for it," Torkman said.
Several Union Hill students won cash prizes, and the first-place winner's teacher earned $200 for classroom supplies.
The top drawings were enlarged and placed on the hill, including "April showers" and "May flowers," said onsite manager Lew Aebersold. The visual messages, paired with the "Happy" sign, offer an uplifting message to commuters.
Then, Old Barn offered the school a spot in its rotating e-waste collection program, which raises about $200 to $300 each month for the participating nonprofit group.
"All we have to do is publicize it," Torkman said. "How great is that?"
Aebersold collects the donated materials in a storage locker, then calls international SIMS Recycling Solutions, with a facility in Roseville, to fetch the junk.
"They crush it, separate it; everything is used," he said. Donors "don't have to do anything."
Union Hill leaders plan to use their earnings on something to benefit students directly, such as field trips or assemblies, Torkman said.
"Everybody's happy," Aebersold concluded.

'70 Chevy C10
Jose D Leyva
Presidio, Texas
Jose Leyva has been the proud owner of this '70 C10 for nearly thirty years now. It began as Jose's daily driver and served him faithfully for a good ten years in its original form. Soon after hitting that ten year mark Jose decided it was time to pay his workhorse a bit of attention so he got to work restoring and rebuilding whatever needed restoring or refinishing. When he was done the C10 was ready and willing to give him another decade-plus worth of service. About eight years ago, Jose decided it was time for yet another round of refinishing—this time even more thoroughly than he had years earlier.
Jose's latest upgrades include a fresh 35ci 330hp GM crate engine, a Hughes-prepared 700R4, a quartet of Boyd Coddington custom wheels, a custom rear-mounted fuel tank, and a completely fresh interior, and lots more.

Our understanding of words plays a big role in how we use them. It could most likely help us choose which words are appropriate to use with them (singular, plural, pronoun usage, among others). Thus, it is a must to know the basic categories that words may fall under in order for us to know how to use them properly.
General and Specific Words
General Words are words that name a group or a category of a set of things, people, idea, and the likes. These terms are usually used when you want to discuss an idea as a whole. Examples of general words include: furniture, money, equipment, seasoning and shoes.
Specific Words are words that, through the use of modifiers, name a specific idea, thing, person and the likes. These kinds of words are used when you want to limit your discussion to a particular idea. Examples of these words would include rocking chair, dollar, gym equipment, pepper and high-heeled shoes. The degree on how you can be specific on certain terms usually varies. Like, for example, gym equipment. Although it is already specified on what kind of equipment it is, you can still be more specific and make use of a term that names a certain kind of gym equipment.
Concrete and Abstract Words
Concrete words are words that are tangible. Although it may seem easy to point out what things are tangible and what are not, some people would still find it difficult and confusing. You just have to limit concrete words to words that refer to nouns that can be perceived by the senses. Those that can touch, smell, see, hear, taste, and feel by your senses.
Abstract words on the other hand and in opposition to concrete words, are words that can't be perceived by the senses. Words that you can't touch, smell, hear, taste and feel by your sense.
Denotation and Connotation
Denotation is the literal meaning of a word. It is the definition that one could get from dictionaries. Thus, for example, when we say poor, its denotation could be "a state of having little or no money."
Connotation is the association that a word has in reference to other ideas. Poor, with its connotative meaning, could be used to refer to people who do not do excel in their field. If you notice, connotations are also derived from the denotative meaning of words.
Figures of Speech
- Simile – making use of another word to describe something using "like" and "as"
- Metaphor – direct comparison between two ideas
- Personification – describing inanimate objects and animals using actions and descriptions used for people
- Irony – a clash between appearance and reality, between seems and is, or between ought and is
- verbal irony – saying something, contrary to what it means
- 15 Lycra Women COMBO Trousers for M;L;XL;XXL;XXXL Girls;PLUS and Colors;Sizes Cotton ALISHAH dramatic irony – saying or doing something while unaware of its ironic contrast to the whole truth
- situational irony – events turn to the opposite of what is expected and what should be
- Hyperbole – a way of overstating things
- Understatement – a way of understating things
- M;L;XL;XXL;XXXL Girls;PLUS Colors;Sizes Women Lycra for and Trousers COMBO ALISHAH 15 Cotton Paradox – when a sentence contains contradictory elements in it but after careful consideration would turn out to be logically true
- Pun – making use of two similar sounding words in sentences. Both sentences are still correct yet would have different meanings.

Scott Bittle and JEAN JOHNSON
In the 2008 bestseller, Where Does the Money Go? Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson cut through the confusing political jargon to give readers an unbiased, understandable, and even humorous look at the federal budget crisis. In WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS? (Harper Paperbacks; October 27th, 2009), Bittle and Johnson are back to tackle a subject even more controversial and confusing: The Energy Crisis.
Energy is a problem that never seems to go away, despite our best efforts to ignore it. Why has there been so much talk and so little action? WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS? offers a much needed reality check: The Drill, Baby, Drill versus Every Day is Earth Day battle is not solving our problems and the finger-pointing is just holding us up.
By applying the same winning approach they used to irreverently explain the federal budget crisis in Where Does the Money Go?, Bittle and Johnson use pop culture to help define the fundamental concepts that shape the debate and explain the three risks we face: that we wont be able to afford energy, that well run out of it, and that well destroy the planet before we have a chance to solve the problem. They guide readers through a range of ideas on the agenda, including alternative fuels, nuclear power, conservation, alternative forms of transportation, and alternative living patterns, and then outline the pros and cons of each.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted advice in wild technique, because I've tried it like 3 times, the first one, was at like 2 in the morning, when I woke up naturally, and I wanted to try, I could get to sleep paralysis, but my heart raced and somewhat ruined my attempt. The second time, was in the afternoon, I was kind of sleepy so I decided to give it a shot, but the same happened, although i was able to control my excitement and managed to stay calm, but never saw hypnagogia, the third time was, again, in the afternoon, I tried to darken the room but it was sunny out there so the sun entered my window and was on my face, when I started doing it, I could feel sleep paralysis, I had my eyes closed, but because of the sun, i was seeing that kind of reddish tone you see with your eyes closed, this time I tried binaural beats (deep meditation) and I started feeling like in a beach (but couldn't see it) and started to hear seagulls and everything, but there was a moment when I started to feel like I was falling, I stayed calm to see what would happen next, but I fell and fell and fell, until I suddenly opened my eyes for no reason, looked at the clock, and what seemed to have been 15 minutes, were 2 hours, so I did a RC, but I was not in a dream.
I wanted to know if i'm doing it well, or what happened. While I didn't actually "see" hypnagogia, i think the falling sensation, and to feel the beach were another type of hypnagogia, and if so, how can i get the most out of it?
I know i'ts long, but, thanks a lot to the people taking the time to read it, btw this forum is awesome, congrats to Rebecca Turner and to all of it's members for making it possible.

Re: WILD technique
there is no right or wrong just stuff that works and stuff that wont and even more confusing is that the same thing wont or might not work twice in a row.
Who are you I asked, the reply "dont be silly, we are your daughers" many years before they were born
Re: WILD technique
Thanks Peter, I'll be trying again soon, and will post my results.
Re: WILD technique
Did it again and it got to feel the vibrations in my body, I knew it, i was having an wild, then, I started to "exit" my body, but the phone rang and bam, i woke up in my bed, confused, and couldn't move my eyes normally, shit happens. Haha just kidding, i'm happy I made it at least a few seconds, and I'm pumped up to try again.
Re: WILD technique
Recently when trying to WILD I wake up, and the first sensation I can feel again is my heart racing. Maybe that is a sign that you are waking when trying to stay calm?? Other than that just keep trying!!! Good luck!

Re: WILD technique
Remember that when you enter sleep paralysis you should try to imagine your dream surroundings. Think of the place that you want to find yourself in. If that doesn't work, then what I would do is just wait until the dream naturally starts. Good luck!
Re: WILD technique
I'm finally on break, and will be trying on the afternoons (I think that's the best time for me to try a WILD), I hope I can do it.
Thanks for the advice. Will be a good help.
Thanks for the advice. Will be a good help.
Re: WILD technique
hope it goes well for you. Find a nice spot with the sun on your body and relax and feel the warmth and drift away with this feeling. If you capture the moment when you mind settles you are just about there. The worst that will happen is that you will drift off to sleep and thats no so bad
Who are you I asked, the reply "dont be silly, we are your daughers" many years before they were born
Re: WILD technique
Yeah Peter, I do not worry about losing consciousness and falling asleep into a normal dream, because, after all, sleeping, and dreaming, is something so special, that even if it's not lucid, I will enjoy it, so "the worst" would be something good, and practice makes perfect, so I have nothing to lose. again thanks for the advice.

Acura NSX was the company's premier sports car for a time, and on par with vehicles like Ferrari as far as speed, handling and technology. In fact, even the body style of the first NSX produced was very similar to the Ferrari. It debuted in 1990 and featured rear-wheel drive and an aluminum V-6 engine along with a variable valve timing and a VTEC system.
Acura NSX's Evolution
The idea of introducing a sports car of this caliber was conceived in 1984. Honda hired Pininfarina, an Italian car designer, to make the Honda HP-X. After the project was underway, Honda decided it wanted this car to compete with sports cars coming out of Germany and Italy. "The New Sports Car Experimental" prototype went into development, abbreviated as the NSX. Several changes were made with the new direction, including replacing the two liter V-6 with the much more powerful three liter VTEC V-6. Several of the technologies from Honda's F1 motor sport program were incorporated and a number of names from the world of Formula One Racing were involved.
The NSX was the first to feature an all-aluminum monocoque body along with an aluminum alloy frame and suspension, making it incredibly light. This, coupled with the engine power, made it one of the most impressive sports cars available. It was first introduced to the public at the Chicago Auto Show and the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989. Two years later, it was on sale in Japan under the Honda name, then in North America under Honda's luxury line, Acura.
Acura NSX Models
The NSX was always meant to be an exotic sports car; however, the first generation NSX-R made compromises in order to increase drivability and improve its appeal to the general public. It was soon found that fans of the vehicle were less interested in creature comforts than raw power, so Acura shifted its focus to create a more track-worthy version by decreasing weight, removing audio and air conditioning systems, replacing leather seats with carbon fiber, and more. The first generation NSX was the lightest and performs amazingly on tracks, though the ride was considered "rough." Driver-friendly and racing models were also available.
The popularity of the NSX continued and, in 1995, the NSX-T was introduced. This model included a number of changes, including an optional targa top roof and a softened suspension that made for smoother and more accurate handling. The improved suspension also decreased the common over-steering problem which plagued many similar engines. Power steering was available with the manual transmission, where before it was only available with the automatic.
The biggest jump in performance was in 1997. A 3.2 liter engine replaced the 3.0 liter engine while torque was increased from 210 lb/ft to 225 lb/ft. This year also offered a six-speed manual transmission. The NSX could now go from 0-to-60 in 4.5 seconds. Another improvement was the brake rotor size, which increased from 11.1 inches to 11.732 inches. This led to larger wheels and tires, but a new aluminum alloy decreased the weight even further.
In 1999, a special Alex Zanardi Edition was available, with improved racing performance and a signed plaque from the famed driver. The hard-top NSX model was discontinued in 2002, leaving only the NXS-T. Design improvements that year included new xenon headlights, revised suspension, and wider rear tires. It was also offered with a four-speed automatic transmission with manual shift feature.
The final upgrade came in 2004 with an in-trunk CD-changer and keyless entry. The car was discontinued after 2005.
While the NSX was a sports performance vehicle, it was considered an exotic car in line with higher-cost and better-known Ferrari. The early NSX models were considered some of the most reliable sports cars of this class on the road, enjoying a much longer life, often over 100,000 miles while enjoying few major engine problems over time.

I have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. First and foremost, I'm thankful for my supportive family. When I was presented with the opportunity to take the helm at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network – to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities – my wife and three children were eager to join me and to begin a new chapter.
As a father of three, I understand the importance of easy access to world-class pediatric services. At Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network (GSRN), our pediatric services include inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and specialized care for children with developmental and physical disabilities. These services are nothing short of mission critical.
If you have ever started a new job, you know that the first 90 days are like trying to drink water from a fire hose. You receive massive amounts of information and introductions that are nearly impossible to digest. To succeed, you have to set priorities – focusing on what needs to be addressed first.
Since being named President & CEO of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, I've received a number of supportive inquiries from friends and family, colleagues and other health-care executives. Most of the questions I received are a variation of the same theme – Why Good Shepherd? And, why now?

When Our Leaders Fail To Lead
We Have To Make Them
By David Korten
11 December, 2009
Yes Magazine
On Tuesday night, President Obama announced his decision to increase U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan. It was a tragic error. He specifically said that to compare Afghanistan with Vietnam is a misreading of history. In a way, I would have to agree. We ultimately left Vietnam in humiliation. Afghanistan is not comparable, because our prospects for success there are even worse.
I am neither a military strategist nor a student of military history, but I recall well the U.S. experience during the Vietnam War. I was serving at the time as a U.S. Air Force Captain. My first assignment was as an instructor at the Special Air Warfare School in Florida, where we instructed Air Force pilots heading for Vietnam to be part of the Air Force's role in counterinsurgency operations. I later served in the Pentagon in the Office of the Secretary of Defense as military aide to the civilian responsible for monitoring all Defense Department-sponsored behavior and social sciences research.
These assignments brought me into contact with the most advanced thinking of the time about unconventional, asymmetric warfare—in which a conventional military force seeks to defeat an enemy who cannot be distinguished from a civilian noncombatant unless he is firing on you. This was the case in Vietnam and it is the case in Afghanistan.
I recall clearly one of the lectures I gave to Air Force pilots on the substantial body of social science research demonstrating that dropping bombs on civilian populations increases their will to resist. It isn't a particularly startling finding, and I'm sure it holds up as well for any military operation in which seemingly indiscriminate fire causes significant civilian casualties.
So why are our prospects in Afghanistan even less hopeful than they were in Vietnam? As in Afghanistan, the enemy in Vietnam blended in with the people. In Vietnam, however, it operated as a coherent body with an allegiance to a command structure. Vietnam had experience functioning as a nation with a central government; it also had more physical infrastructure and a more educated population.
Afghanistan has never functioned as a nation under the central rule of either foreigners or Afghans. It is a land fragmented physically and politically into feudal fiefdoms ruled by local warlords united only by a fierce commitment to resisting any form of foreign occupation. What passes for a central government has less legitimacy than did the government of South Vietnam, is even more corrupt, and is arguably not even fully in control of Kabul, the capital city. The idea that we or any other group of outsiders can pacify Afghanistan and bring it under some semblance of central democratic rule with a legitimate and reasonably competent government is beyond ludicrous.
It is difficult to convince civilians that you are there to help them when you are maiming and killing their loved ones for no evident purpose. Yet when you cannot identify the enemy, you will almost inevitably kill more civilians than combatants. I know how I would respond if a foreign army inflicted such harm on my family. The more troops we put into Afghanistan, the greater the resistance.
On November 20, 2009, Bill Moyers PBS Journal presented an episode on President Lyndon Johnson's path to war. It is a piece of history that Moyers knows well, having served as a top-ranking member of President Johnson's staff from 1964-1967. Drawing on the archive of White House tapes, Moyers tells the story, in Johnson's own words, of how the political dynamics of the time drew him into an ever more costly escalation in a war that he knew from the beginning we could not win.
President Obama seems to be repeating this sad history, caught up in much the same dynamic in an even more futile war. This one may not end with pictures of the last Americans in Afghanistan departing by helicopter from the U.S. Embassy roof, but the time will come when we will recognize as a nation that we cannot win this war. The only uncertainty is when that time will come that we make the decision to leave.
Ultimately we left Vietnam not because of bold presidential leadership, but because we the people of this country demanded it. We had been told that the fall of Vietnam would lead to the fall of Southeast Asia, with devastating consequences for U.S. interests and national security all around the world. It didn't happen. Following our departure from Vietnam the people of Vietnam formed a coherent national government and rebuilt their country. Asia became stronger, freer, and more democratic; Vietnam is now one of our major trading partners. There has been much agony along the way and Vietnam is no model of democracy, but everyone is far better off than during the war that should never have happened.
Invading Afghanistan was a tragic error. Escalating our presence there compounds the error. We have created a terrible mess, but it is not within our means to clean it up. The sooner we leave Afghanistan and let the Afghan people sort out their future for themselves, the better off both we and they will be. We now know it will happen only when we send a message to our politicians, including President Obama, too loud and too clear to be ignored.

T-Wolves Sign Batum To Offer Sheet
The Timberwolves/Nicolas Batum saga will finally come to an end this week. The Wolves signed Batum to a 4-year $46 Million offer sheet Sunday night. Portland has until 11pm (CT) Wednesday to match the offer or lose him to Minnesota. Batum is a 23-year old 6-8 small forward who averaged 13.9 points a game with Portland in 2011-2012.
The Wolves and Portland were trying to work out a sign and trade deal to acquire Batum last week. No agreement could be reached because the Wolves didn't want to include Nikola Pekovic or Derrick Williams in the trade.
The Wolves are close to trading shooting guard Wayne Ellington to Memphis for small forward Dante Cunningham. Cunningham averaged 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds a game with Memphis last season.
The Wolves are also interested in free agents guard Brandon Roy, guard Alexey Shved, center Greg Stiemsma, forward Jordan Hill and guard Courtney Lee.

Direct marketing is virtually the most effective way of marketing to your customers. It does three things for you:
1) It brings in more cash faster and in a short amount of time
2) It creates a good and lasting relationship with your customers
3) and most of all, the most important thing in any kind of business is that it builds trust between you and your customers and potential customers.
There are some direct marketing secrets you can use to make your prospects and customers buy more from you always even when you upsell ( that is when you offer existing clients more of your products to buy at a higher price than the previous one) also called back-end offers.
The first thing to do is to make sure you have an email list (I will talk on that aspect on my next article).
So provided you already have an email list of your old and existing customers, you don't just make them buy from you and never do follow ups on them. You have to check up on them every other month or if you have time every two weeks. In that way your name and business will always be in front of them every two weeks or every month.
But don't send them just about anything, send them free gifts or free additional information concerning a product they bought from you. That way you make them like and trust you and will always be willing to do additional business with you since they can see that you are not only interested in entering their pockets but you also genuinely want to help them succeed in what they are doing.
Another direct marketing secret is that you should always put your contact out there for customers and prospects to contact you if not you will be perceived as a robot and nobody wants to do any kind of business with a robot.
If you want too you can put your picture on your website. Dress smartly, preferably a suit and tie and put on a warm smile.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale baseball team fell behind 2-0 in both ends of a doubleheader against Cornell on Saturday afternoon at Yale Field in New Haven. The Bulldogs, however, proved to be down but not out as they rallied in both contests to sweep the visiting Big Red by scores of 4-3 and 7-5. Senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth hit a walk-off home run to give Yale the win in the seven-inning first game, and junior second baseman Gant Elmore had the go-ahead, two-run double in the nightcap as a part of a four-hit day.
With the sweep, the Bulldogs rebound from a winless opening Ivy League weekend to move to 2-4 in the Ancient Eight and 14-11-1 overall. Cornell drops to 2-4 in league play and 6-12 overall.
"Coming off of a nightmare of a weekend, I'm very proud of the way we competed all day," said John Stuper, Yale's Mazzuto Family Head Coach for Baseball.
Elmore was 4-for-8 on the day, while Larsson-Danforth and sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner each pounded out three hits. Junior outfielder Andrew Moore drove in three runs in the doubleheader, and five different Bulldogs scored two runs apiece.
On the mound, sophomore right-hander Pat Ludwig started game one and did not factor into the decision. Senior right-hander Robert Gruber (2-0) recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning and got the win. Junior southpaw Vinny Lally (5-1) started and got the win in the nightcap with sophomore right-hander Greg Lyons tossing the last 2.1 innings to earn his second save of the season.
In game one, Cornell used a pair of two-out hits to start the scoring in the first inning. After Ludwig set down the first two hitters, Mickey Brodsky singled through the right side and came around to score as Frank Hager tripled over the head of Andy Megee in centerfield. Big Red would another run in the next frame as Kyle Groth homered to right field to put the visitors on top, 2-0.
Yale was held to just one single through the first three innings by Cornell starter Corey Pappel, but the Bulldogs' offense finally got to the junior right-hander in the fourth. Megee led off the inning with a single to right field, and Brenner followed two batters later with a base hit to left. After sophomore designated hitter Charlie Neil was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Moore singled through the right side to score both Megee and Brenner and tie the game at 2-2. The Elis would then claim their first lead of the afternoon as Pappel balked to allow Neil to trot home with the go-ahead run.
The 3-2 lead would be short-lived, however, as Brenton Peters doubled with one out in the next half-inning to put himself in scoring position. After Peters moved 90 away from scoring on a passed ball, a groundout from Brian Billigen allowed the unearned tally to cross home and knot the game at 3-3.
The visitors looked poised to reclaim the lead in the top of the sixth inning, as Brodsky doubled to lead off, and Hager reached on an uncharacteristic error by Larsson-Danforth to put runners on the corners with none out. An attempted sacrifice bunt turned into a spectacular defensive play, however, as Ludwig fielded to cut down the batter, Brandon Lee, and Larsson-Danforth then fired home to cut down Brodsky and complete a 1-3-2 double play. After Cornell Head Coach Bill Walkenbach was ejected for arguing the call, Ludwig got the final out of the inning to strand Hager in scoring position.
Ludwig and Pappel both took scoreless seventh innings to bring the game to an extra frame, and Cornell threatened to take the lead in its turn at-bat. Brodsky once again doubled, this one of the ground-rule variety, to put himself on second base with one out in the inning. Stuper went to his bullpen and brought on Gruber, who pitched out of the jam with a strikeout of Hager and a harmless pop-up to shortstop that quelled the threat.
Cornell went to its bullpen as well in the eighth inning, bringing in right-hander Taylor Wood to replace Pappel. Wood got the first out of the inning, but the next batter was Larsson-Danforth, who crushed his seventh home run of the season over the left field wall to give the Bulldogs a 4-3 victory.
The walk-off blast was the second in the career of Larsson-Danforth, who hit a two-run shot to nearly the same spot in Yale's 7-6 win over Penn last season.
"I'm just glad he's on our side," said Stuper of his 6'6" left-handed slugger.
Ludwig went 7.1 innings, matching the longest outing for a Yale starter this season, and did not factor into the decision. The sophomore right-hander scattered eight hits and two earned runs his time on the hill, striking out five batters without issuing a walk. Gruber retired the only two batters he faced in relief, throwing just seven pitches to earn his second win in as many appearances.
"Pat looked very good today, and Gruber continues to be one of our most reliable arms in the bullpen," said Stuper.
Pappel allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings of work for Cornell. He struck out six batters with one walk, two hit batsmen and a balk that allowed a run to score. Wood (1-3) gave up one run and one hit in one-third of an inning.
Big Red once again wasted no time getting on the board in the nightcap. Brodsky started the rally again with a two-out single, and Hager followed with a double to put Cornell on top, 1-0, as Lally struck out the side in the first.
A lead-off walk in the second inning turned into another Cornell run, as the base-on-balls followed by a fielder's choice and a bunt single put Conor McCabe on third base with one out in the inning. Billigen then tabbed his second RBI of the afternoon without the benefit of a hit, skying a sacrifice fly to left that allowed McCabe to come home and run the score to 2-0.
With Lally maintaining the two-run deficit, the Elis finally got on the board in the fifth inning of the second game. Sophomore shortstop Matt Schmidt singled with one out to get things going, and then stole second and advanced to third base on a throwing error. After a four-pitch walk to Megee, Larsson-Danforth singled to left field to score Schmidt with Yale's first run of the game. An unearned tally then served as the equalizer, with shortstop Marshall Yanzick dropping a pop-up that let Megee score to tie the game at 2-2.
Cornell got back on top in the next half-inning as Brian Billigen belted a two-out shot to centerfield that landed in the perfect spot for the Cornell right fielder. Billigen dashed all the way around the bases, touching home plate with Brenner applying the tag just a second too late.
Walkenbach went to his bullpen for the next half-inning, moving Brodsky from first base to the mound for the bottom of the sixth. Yale would put together a two-out rally against the left-hander, however, started when sophomore outfielder Zach Tobolowsky was hit by a pitch. Schmidt then walked to move Tobolowsky to second, and Elmore followed with a two-run double down the right field line that put the Bulldogs on top for good at 4-3.
Big Red would threaten in the top of the seventh inning, as Lee reached on a dropped pop-up by Elmore, which would have been the third out, and moved to third base on a single by Nate David. That base-hit closed the book on Lally, but Lyons did his job in relief by inducing a McCabe groundout to end the inning.
"Greg got a big out and gave us chance to pull away," said Stuper.
Pulling away is exactly what the Elis did, as a trio of insurance runs went on the board in Yale's half of the seventh frame. Larsson-Danforth walked, Brenner singled and Neil dropped down a bunt on an unsuspecting Cornell infield to load the bases with none out. The Bulldogs then added their three tallies without the benefit of a hit, as two Brodsky wild pitches and a Moore sacrifice fly cleared the bases and gave Yale a more comfortable 7-3 advantage.
Cornell managed a pair of runs in the top of the ninth inning, but Lyons got McCabe to pop-up to end the game with the Bulldogs taking a 7-5 win to complete the Ivy League sweep.
Lally earned his league-best fifth win after allowing eight hits and three earned runs over 6.2 innings. He struck out six batters and walked four.
"Vinny still needs to work on throwing strikes and keeping his pitch-count down," said Stuper, "But he battled like he always does and got outs when we needed them."
Lyons allowed three hits and two earned runs to notch his second save. He struck out one and walked one in a 2.1 inning relief appearance.
Tony Bertucci started for Cornell, allowing one earned run and six hits in five innings. Brodsky falls to 0-1 on the season after allowing five earned runs in 2.0 innings out of the bullpen. He walked two batters, hit two and threw two wild pitches.
The Bulldogs will aim for a .500 Ivy League record tomorrow, as Princeton visits Yale Field for a noon twinbill. The Tigers, who were swept at Brown to fall to 7-18 overall and 2-4 in the Ancient Eight, are scheduled to face Yale southpaws Brook Hart and Christopher O'Hare.

3 stars (out of 4)
Norah Jones is a rare singer in a world where outrage passes for pop currency: a modest one. She understates almost everything, sometimes to a fault.
It worked well enough to turn her 2002 debut, "Come Away With Me," into a runaway success, but ever since she's become increasingly predictable. Her fifth studio album, "… Little Broken Hearts" (Blue Note), tries to spice things up with a little role-playing in collaboration with producer of the moment, Brian Burton, a k a Danger Mouse.
In small-combo settings dipped in reverberating guitars and keyboards that chime or drizzle notes like raindrops, there's enough eerie atmosphere to evoke a film-noir soundtrack, one that plays out over the image of a dead body in an alley while a trench-coated, chain-smoking femme fatale disappears into the mist. In that sense, it expands the work the two did together on Danger Mouse's "Rome" project, released last year, which paid homage to Ennio Morricone's Spaghetti Western scores.
"… Little Broken Hearts" ties 12 takes on fractured relationships into an extended mood piece. "Good Morning" sets the tone of dream-like intimacy, Jones' voice turning an innocuous gesture – "I'm folding my hand" – into an unlikely yet strangely haunting chorus. Jones' narrators are hardly all victims, crying for what might have been. She turns accusatory on "She's 22," and downright murderous on "Miriam." Only "Happy Pills" breaks the somber mood, but it's deceptive: a jaunty take about fleeing an ex.
Not everything works. The closing "All a Dream" is a six-minute drag back to sleepy-time Norah. But mostly, Jones plays her part in this career left-turn with chilled and sometimes chilling resolve.

From the apparent horror of the White House, you'd think March 1 was threatening castration rather than sequestration. And they might be right in a sense; as we've argued here before, Obama and the Democrats seem much more terrified of sequestration than Republicans for the simple reason that more of their key client groups depend on the discretionary programs that will be pinched in sequestration. Fiscal castration indeed.
Will the administration get away with the Washington monument strategy of making sure cuts affect vital services like air traffic control and agricultural inspections? Or will citizens perceive this as the shakedown it really is, as Jonathan Tobin predicts? Hard to say. These fiscal battles have gone badly for Republicans in the past, going back to the Gingrich government shutdown fiasco of 1995. And between the President's megaphone and a sycophantic media, the odds on winning the sequestration perceptions game might appear daunting.
On the other hand, the Democrats' obvious panic may reflect that we're reaching the first of many tipping points in the crisis of the American welfare state. What makes this current episode so peculiar is the strange resistance of Democrats to the Republican proposal to grant the president flexibility in administering the sequestration. Normally Obama and today's liberals are all about expanding executive authority to do good things without the permission or oversight of Congress. And I thought liberals liked crises, because they are too good to let go to waste. Why the sudden reticence about executive prerogative just now? Could it be that they perceive that this is the kind of fiscal crisis is one that will start to cut against them over and over again? Why would that be?
Charles Kesler points out in I Am the Change that "Currently, the welfare state operates almost independently alongside the general government." The fact that the sequester will not touch entitlements will bring this fact to the foreground, along with the tacit acknowledgement that the welfare state is bumping up against its limits; its client groups will increasingly start crashing into each other in the handout line. Never mind this sequester incident: untamed entitlement spending will choke off more and more discretionary spending that the interest groups depend on. They're going to reach the limit of plausible tax increases before long, even if Democrats reclaim a majority in the House next year.
Obama might win this round and humiliate the House Republicans yet again, but there's a good chance we'll look back on the liberal panic right now as the first sign of the turn of the tide. E.J. Dionne's column earlier this week is one canary swooning from the fumes in the liberal cave ("the sequester is allowing the tea party's ghost to haunt Washington"). Mickey Kaus agrees, for reasons opposite of Dionne, of course.

New interface for the photo page in Panoramio
Some days ago we released a major redesign of the photo page in Panoramio. The goal of the new design is to make possible to see and explore the place where the photo has been taken.
Several elements have been emphasized: the satellite image, the photos nearby and the political World map. We added a breadcrumb over the photo to clarify its location. Also now is more intuitive to add a photo to your favorites.
Immediately after the redesign we received many great suggestions to improve it and we have implemented most of them. Reported bugs have been fixed, but still the nearby photos and the breadcrumb need some tunning. Thank you for all your e-mails and the great feedback.
We wanted to release this new interface as soon as possible, but some people was surprised by the lack of previous notice. Sorry for that, next time we make a major redesign we will give notice in advance in the blog/forum and we will put it in a test page in order to collect your suggestions and detect bugs before releasing it.
Stay tunned, more changes are coming.

There have been a few times when I've suggested that an indefinite lifespan could be possible through technological development, and moreover, that this is something worth pursuing. To be clear, this is not at all reliant upon magic, any concept of an afterlife, or the existence of supernatural phenomena. It's fully within the realm of the natural world – it just means rearranging the structure of matter so as to create a more stable and resilient embodiment of our consciousness.
This is obviously quite an oversimplification, but that's the basic idea behind it, and there's no apparent reason why it shouldn't be possible. Configurations of matter within the natural world are already known to support consciousness, and this could potentially be altered and extended in a variety of ways. But while some people believe that this either can't be accomplished or won't be achieved within the foreseeable future, others go even further and claim that it shouldn't be done.
It doesn't seem like it should be so controversial. Most people don't look forward to dying, and they don't usually like it when their loved ones die, either. We already make use of technology to push back death further and further – is it really that different to ensure that it's no longer inevitable? It does mean removing something that, for all of history, has been a constant: the mandatory and involuntary end of life. Clearly, some people might be taken aback by that. But should it really be considered so objectionable?
Some have said that if nobody dies, it would lead to further problems with overpopulation. But overpopulation is already an issue, and yet we aren't demanding that anyone should have to die. If people shouldn't be allowed to live indefinitely, how long should they be allowed to live for? What would be the upper limit here? If effective immortality is possible, then insisting that it not be pursued for this reason means literally preferring for people to die when they otherwise wouldn't have to, because the problem of overpopulation is just too challenging to bother solving. I don't see how that's an acceptable tradeoff, and the progress that accompanies the eradication of death might end up making this a non-issue.
Others have claimed that the end of life is necessary to give meaning to life, suggesting that life is only important to us because it lasts for a limited time. But that's hardly a universal fact of life. The meaning that we find in our lives is something that we each have to establish for ourselves. Not everyone requires the inevitability of death in order to give their lives meaning. For many of us, life itself is what gives meaning to our lives. The many experiences we have in life can be so enjoyable that we pursue them for their own sake, without needing the threat of death hanging over our heads. For us, it doesn't represent a motivation, but rather the end of everything that we find beautiful and amazing in our lives.
It seems likely that people have only tried to find good things about death because, thus far, it's been unavoidable. Even in the most regrettable of circumstances, the unwilling destruction of a human mind, we still try to see something positive in it. But if death were something that simply never happened, would the benefits of it be so compelling that we would collectively decide for everyone's life to be cut short of its maximum potential?
If people do need death to give their lives meaning, that option should be available to them. Nobody should be forced to live forever. But nobody should be forced to die when they don't have to, either. Given the choice, I'm not willing to die just because it might give meaning to my life. Nor do I expect anyone else to die in order to give my life meaning. And nobody has any right to expect that from me. If it comes down to a choice between the death of everyone ever merely for the sake of finding purpose in life, or giving everyone the chance to live forever and having to find meaning on our own, I know what side I'm on. Do you?

Today marks "Giving Tuesday," a day of donation organized by charities as a counterpoint to Black Friday consumerism. But with more options for giving than in years past, where should givers go to maximize their generosity?
Though the street-corner Santas remain out in force, givers also have an increasing array of high-tech options. Earlier this fall, for example, Facebook began testing $25 charitable gifts through its new online gift feature. Experts say more charities are now asking donors to reach out to their network of family and friends.
• Why are retailers ruining Thanksgiving?
• Target faces backlash over 'Black Thursday'
• Book Christmas flights before Black Friday
• 10 things stores won't say about Black Friday
• MarketWatch's Holiday Gift Guide »
But despite these new options, consumers are expected to give less this year. A recent survey from nonprofit evaluator GuideStar found donations to two-thirds of charities remained flat or fell during the first nine months of 2012 compared with the same period in 2011.And the outlook for the fourth quarter isn't promising either. A survey from nonprofit consulting firm Blackbaud found that almost half of donors plan to give less or to fewer charities this holiday season. And while organizations are using social media to heavily market the holiday spirit on Giving Tuesday in hopes of attracting new and younger donors, donations generated through Facebook and Twitter still pale in comparison to funds raised through email and traditional channels, says Mwosi Swenson, vice president of client services for Donordigital, an online fundraising consultancy. "This is the kind of test after Cyber Monday, to see if they can focus on some charitable giving," she says.
With fewer charitable dollars in play, consumers' best recourse is to think before they giveto avoid contributing to a charity that isn't effective, or worse, a scam. But only a third of givers do their due diligence, says Bennett Weiner, chief operating officer for the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, which reviews charitable groups. "I suspect those that don't may just be responding to the ask," he says. "But finding out more really is the best protection." Use these seven steps to maximize your donations:
Check charity effectiveness
Pick a charity that will make the most of the amount you give. Check evaluation sites like BBB's Give.org, Charity Navigator and GuideStar. They indicate not only if a charity is legit, but also assess whether it meets the sites' standards for accountability, and if previous donors had complaints. Less important these days: what percentage of donations go to programs versus overhead costs, says Lindsay Nichols, a spokeswoman for GuideStar. "We really don't think it's relevant, because there are a number of things that can skew it in a given year," she says. A better proof of effectiveness is measurable program impact from charity materials and financial filings: houses built, stray animals rescued or meals delivered.
Watch out for scams
More opportunities to text a donation or receive charitable pitches via Twitter also open the door for thieves. Be cautious about links claiming to direct you to a charity's site, Weiner says. They may instead send you to a phishing site set up to steal your credit card number or other personal information.
Skip the middlemen
While online giving still represents less than 10% of overall giving, according to nonprofit consultancy Blackbaud, consumers donated more than $22 billion via the Internet last year — more than twice what they gave five years earlier. More charities have also been soliciting donations via social media. But experts agree, the most effective way to donate is still to write a check directly to the charity. "Every single transaction, whether online or over the phone, social media or texting, there's always a middle person who will get a piece of the donation," says Nichols. Pay with a credit card and the charity usually loses a 2% to 3% processing fee to the card issuer. Some fundraising sites take larger cuts, and a for-profit telemarketing firm takes out as much as half of your donation. See The drawbacks of social-media donations
Review charitable "gifts"
If a retailer or product manufacturer pledges part of your purchase will go to charity, take a hard look at the details. Companies pitching those so-called cause-marketed products have been better about disclosing terms in recent years, but most are still vague about the actual donation amount, says Weiner. "It's generally going to be less than 10% of the purchase price," he says. For that reason, assess the value of the item or purchase on its own terms. Better offers will note a specific dollar amount of percentage of the purchase price that goes to the charity.
Look for charitable 'deals'
Shoppers can apply their bargain-hunting techniques to charities as well. With hot competition for donation dollars in a holiday season following a Presidential election and Hurricane Sandy, many organizations are offering to match at least part of all donations as part of a fundraising challenge, says Steve MacLaughlin, director of Blackbaud's idea lab, effectively doubling your donation money and multiplying the tax deduction. Children's education charity Room to Read, for example, is offering a 2-to-1 match for Giving Tuesday, allowing donors to triple their gift. Even if a giver's charity-of-choice isn't offering a challenge, experts recommend checking with their employer, as many businesses offer to match their employees' charitable contributions.
Friendly solicitation
Among this year's onslaught of charity solicitations, consumers should expect to hear not just from the organizations themselves but from their own siblings, friends and cousins. The Salvation Army, one of the most traditional charities, now asks donors to make their own requests through its Online Red Kettle program (mimicking its signature donation buckets that appear during the holiday season). "It's a much more social giving experience than walking up to a kettle near a store," MacLaughlin says, adding that people are more likely to open the email and make a donation for someone they know. The online peer-to-peer giving also allows donors to harness their social media networks to spread the giving spirit: "It takes on almost a viral component," MacLaughlin says. "There's a network effect that doesn't happen in the offline world."
Click to give, don't text
Many charitable organizations are now allowing consumers to text in donations from their cellphone, making a new push for smartphone-based giving particularly in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. But experts say that the easy giving method may not be the best, since it is anonymous and doesn't allow organizations to follow up with and thank donors. The same goes for donations at the supermarket checkout counter, where shoppers can opt to add a dollar or two to their grocery bill but would be more likely to make a bigger gift online—and those bucks at the store won't qualify for a tax deduction, Swenson adds.
Experts say giving online is the most cost-effective way to donate—it saves the expense of stamps and envelope openers, and also provides the organization with donors' contact information so it can follow up. Plus, as New Year's Eve approaches, online donations may be the saving grace for last-minute givers trying to sneak in extra tax deductions before the end of the year.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado sold less recreational pot in May than in April, the first month-to-month sales decline for the drug that became legal at the beginning of the year.
Tax collections reported by the state Department of Revenue this week showed Colorado sold about $21 million of recreational pot in May. That was down slightly from April, when the 4/20 marijuana holiday was credited in part for a boost in recreational sales to $22 million.
Despite the lower sales numbers, Colorado's pot tax haul increased in May because of an excise tax that is being phased in. Collections of that 15 percent tax, which pays for school construction, rose from $734,000 in April to $1.1 million in May. Sales taxes collected on other items sold by marijuana shops, such as T-shirts and buttons, also rose slightly.
Including licensing fees and medical marijuana taxes, Colorado collected about $5.7 million from marijuana in May. The state has collected a total of $34.9 million from all marijuana taxes, fees and licenses since recreational sales became legal in January.
Recreational pot is taxed at a much higher rate than medical pot, which is subject only to state and local sales taxes.
Marijuana sold for recreational use has an extra 10 percent sales tax to pay for pot regulation and consumer education such as don't-smoke-and-drive campaigns, as well as the 15 percent excise tax.
State regulators estimate total market demand for medical and recreational marijuana in Colorado is a combined 130 metric tons a year.
In what is believed to be the first post-legalization market study issued earlier this week, regulators concluded visitors account for 44 percent of recreational pot sales in the Denver area and 90 percent of sales in mountain communities.
The study found marijuana has an average market rate in Colorado of $220 per ounce.
