Being authentic, honest and influential on Twitter is a key to Twitter success for brands big, small, and personal.
The question is: where do you find the time to be efficient and take care of branded tweets and followers all in a day's work, assuming tweeting is not your full-time job?
One thing is evident about this balancing act: walking the fine line of automation and personalization takes talent, skill and a mixology of tools to get the right results.
(Just starting out on Twitter? You might want to take a step back and read "How To Optimize Twitter: Be Real, Profiles, RT, Hashtags & More".)
The Mad Science of Twitter Timing
"The best use of Twitter is as a broadcast medium. You should be creating a ton of interesting content and sharing it with your followers," according to Dan Zarella, the Social Media Scientist.
Wait… Isn't Twitter all about the conversation? Are we having a conversation or are we broadcasting? As Zarella found in his research and sources in this story report, the opinions differ and seem pretty evenly split between broadcasting and conversation.
The Battle of Personalization vs. Automation
There are pros and cons to both and Twitter influencers have varying opinions.
How can you be authentic and also automate some of your messaging? Let's fly into the tweet minds of top influencers to get their philosophies, tips, and tools on how they keep the stream flowing without drowning in Twitter riptides.
"I don't use automated services. In fact I'm bothered by non-human interaction. Social media should be about real interactions; not automated ones," said Social Media Strategist Michelle Marie who was selected by Google as one of the "Most Entertaining and Interesting" personalities on Google+ and scores a 78 Klout score.
Is there a yin and a yang when it comes to automation and personalization? For some there is not a choice, but responsibility matters.
"Avoiding automation tools is often a mistake people make on Twitter. This one always gets a few folks feathers ruffled, but the fact is, most people don't have enough time in the day to accomplish as much as they would like social media wise," said Jason Yormark, SES speaker and Senior VP of Marketing & Social Media @ Strategies 360. "I'm no different. I have a full-time gig, and in order to grow my reach, and provide regular authoritative content, I do use a few tools to automate some tasks. As long as you use them responsibly, and as they are intended, they can be very helpful in reaching your goals."
Have Tribe, Will Tweet. Automating Like a Social Pro
The concept of Triberr is pretty simple: a group of trusted bloggers sharing each others content. It's so simple and makes so much sense you almost wish you thought of it and hope it stays {sort of} underground like the "old Facebook".
The platform has multiplied in popularity over the past year. Yormark likes it so much he calls it his favorite Twitter tool.
"I use Triberr fairly religiously to share other bloggers content which in turn gets mine shared," Yormark said. "Triberr is by far my favorite. I've grown my reach into the millions, and I easily average over 500 daily visits just from the traffic that Triberr sends my way. It's a no brainer for anyone who is serious about blogging."
Auto 'Magic' App Reduces Pain from Chronic Tweeting
Buffer is the new app on the block that takes the chronic pain out of scheduling tweets and posts. Buffer easily helps you add the great articles, pictures, and videos you choose to your Buffer and then automagically shares them for you through the day!
"Don't think about Buffer as automating social posts and underestimating its value. It allows you to still post what you want when you and your customers want it. No more worrying about flooding streams or remembering to post something at a later time," said Sarah Evans, named Forbes' 14 Power Women to Follow on Twitter and founder of #journchat.
Rapture and Rapport on Twitter
Finding rapport with someone via Twitter isn't always easy, unless you have Rapportive.
"Rapportive is a 'must have' plugin to use with Gmail for its social sharing insights," said Bryan Eisenberg (@thegrok) who is a regular SES speaker and co-author of the bestselling books "Call to Action", "Waiting For Your Cat to Bark?" and "Always Be Testing".
Rapportive offers an unbelievable gold mine of 'stalker-like' social insights. It shows you everything about your contacts right inside your inbox. You can grow your network by connecting on not just Twitter but also LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, YouTube and even Klout. Rapportive was acquired last month by LinkedIn.
Twitter Tips From the Experts
Marie (@imizze) shared these three tips:
- I love the audio pop up notifications in TweetDeck, they're useful so I can respond to mentions in a timely manner.
- If someone retweets my post, I like to thank them right away.
- I try to keep things simple so I only use two tools: TweetDeck and ManageFilter.
Yormark (@jasonyormark) offered a couple tips:
- I use Hootsuite for all my CRM needs and occasionally use Tweet Adder to identify like minded users to connect with in a more automated way.
- It's OK to pepper in some automated tweets that connect folks to resources or content you trust, but make sure you are providing a real voice on a regular basis.
Twitter Tool Box: More Automation, Less Personalization
When in doubt, do some social dipping. As Marie notes, "sometimes social dipping is all one can do if you plan on being social in multiple places."
What are some tools that can help with automation?
- Twitterfeed: Set up trusted and automated feeds.
- Wisestamp: Dymamically add your latest tweets into your email signature.
- if this then that: Set up and make your own secret sauce of "if this happens, then that happens" in tasks and outcomes. Examples include:
- Greet every new Twitter follower*
- Thank people who give you a #FF (followfriday) nod*
- Post all photos shared via Twitter to Flickr
- Receive an SMS when someone DMs you
- Thank people for a RT*
Where do you stand on Twitter automation vs. personalization? Do you have any suggested tools? Tell us in the comments.

The Classic Palm OS emulator for the Pre could come in handy if there's no WebOS-native alternative to apps you've long used on your Treo or Centro. And version 2.0 has added HotSync support, full-screen mode, and a "ClassicApps" bundle.
Full HotSync compatibility is the highlight, and it works over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. As for the pre-installed apps and games—some are freebies, while others are limited trials; see the link below for the full list.
Other useful tweaks include quick keyboard mode switch, improved reset functionality, and reduced power consumption. As was the case before, Classic runs side by side with other WebOS applications. It's not a replacement OS and doesn't limit its features, it just runs the Palm OS apps inside the WebOS environment.
The Classic emulator is available in the App Catalog for $30 bucks, and there's a demo you can try out first. [Motionapps]

Calendar working against Obama
On the short list of seemingly intractable obstacles to President Barack Obama's Syria plans: a war-weary nation, the feckless United Nations — and the Gregorian calendar.
From the beginning, Obama's recent Syria push has been hobbled by the calendar — and the scheduling snarls only get worse from here. Obama will sit Monday for interviews for six TV news programs, which will air within an hour of what had promised to be the week's most highly anticipated Washington event: the NFL Redskins' season opener against Philadelphia.
Story Continued Below
But while Obama traveled to Europe for the G-20 and a trip to Sweden last week, opinions on striking Syria have hardened. Scores of members of Congress have publicly come out against the use-of-force authorization, even as the administration has briefed, or offered briefings, for every member of Congress. Polls show Americans oppose intervention by large and growing margins.
( Also on POLITICO: Undecided Dems key to Syria decision)
If Monday Night Football pushed Obama's address to the nation on Syria to Tuesday, odds are low for the president to have the nation's attention to himself the rest of the week either.
The Sept. 11 anniversary comes Wednesday, the same day the Senate could vote for cloture. Yom Kippur begins Friday night.
Obama won't even have Tuesday to himself. Hillary Clinton is due to deliver a speech that afternoon in Philadelphia. Voters in New York City will head to the polls for that city's primary elections. And the new iPhone event scheduled for that day has become an annual media spectacle.
( See POLITICO's full Syria coverage)
Then there are the seasonal realities to grapple with: Many Americans are spending time getting their children to start new school years — and the launch of a new fall TV season is underway, in an era when the nation already pays less attention to presidential addresses than during the days before 1,000-channel cable TV lineups.
"How do you hold the attention of the American people when it is increasingly hard to do so with the distractions of the NFL season and religious holidays and back-to-school nights?" said Mike McCurry, a press secretary for Bill Clinton. "This is the challenge of the presidency, the ability to gather the nation around a common campfire is just not there anymore. You have to go for the sporadic bursts of attention and deal with the perpetual A.D.D. that people have."
Timing has worked against the White House from the very start. The Aug. 21 attack that prompted the administration to gear up for a Syria strike left Obama violating his predecessor's key rule on selling the public on a war: Don't do it in August.
( Also on POLITICO: What would a Syria strike cost?)
"From a marketing point of view," George W. Bush chief of staff Andrew Card said in 2002 as that White House began its Iraq war sales pitch, "you don't introduce new products in August."
The Bush administration's Iraq war rollout, which began that Sept. 11, included a war authorization vote on the eve of the midterm elections and lasted nearly six months.
The brutality of Assad's latest chemical weapons attack, which the White House has said killed 1,400 people near Damascus, didn't allow the administration the luxury of waiting for anyone — be they members of Congress or the public — to return from summer vacation, said Tommy Vietor, a former Obama National Security Council spokesman who visited the White House last week to discuss Syria strategy with staffers there.
"It takes time to get clarity on what exactly happened — you want them to think through what happened, and do consultation," Vietor said Saturday. "The timing is what it is, there isn't any way they could change that."
( VIDEO: VandeHei, Allen analysis on Syria situation)
Still, the administration has done itself few favors in rolling out its case for striking the Assad regime.
The push to attack Syria began in earnest the last week of August, with Congress gone and much of the American public trying to enjoy the final days of summer.
By the time the administration finally presented its declassified evidence that Assad had gassed his own people and Secretary of State John Kerry made a definitive case for attacking the regime, it was the Friday afternoon before the Labor Day weekend.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama to address the nation on Syria)
"Syria didn't sneak up on us three weeks ago," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), a White House antagonist who opposes authorizing force against Syria. "This has been a growing problem for nearly two years. President Obama and Secretary [Hillary] Clinton totally failed from day one to deal with the problem, articulate a strategy and communicate with Congress."

In 1630, the poet Anne Bradstreet, a well-educated woman, emigrated with her family from Britain to America. Among her fellow travelers was her father, Thomas Dudley, who had been the steward to the earl of Lincoln. What remains of Bradstreet's life upon arrival is her poetry. Bradstreet composed both sweeping poems about the history of the world and shorter poems addressing events in her more personal history, including births and deaths. She prepared a manuscript edition of her poetry, which her brother-in-law had printed in England as The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung up in America (1650). In a later poem, Bradstreet complained about errors introduced when friends "less wise than true…exposed" her book "to public view." It's unclear how widely Bradstreet intended her poems to be distributed, and whether she ever intended her poems to be published in print.
Professor Lisa Gordis, who teaches early American literature in the English department and will assume the role of department chair this July, says the fact that a 17th-century writer like Bradstreet would choose to have her work circulated as a manuscript rather than printed on a press was not unusual for the time: often written works were published scribally, with readers copying texts and passing them to other readers in a chain of social connections. Now, with new options for publication such as blogs, websites, and other technological innovations, Gordis says that examples from literary history give context to the contemporary conversation. "It's useful to be able to look at shifting modes of publication today and consider them in light of changes in publication practices over the last four centuries."
It's also the type of contribution Gordis feels she and her colleagues should make. Their field of study benefits, she wrote in 2006 in the journal Early American Literature, "when others understand that it is relevant rather than dry and dusty." Connections and comparisons to present-day circumstances, she adds, "help bring the texts and issues of early American cultures alive to our students."
Early American texts sometimes need help coming alive. While books of the period's history have often been numbered on the best-seller list, writings from that time aren't quite as popular. "Most early American texts are not beach reading," Gordis says. The texts require a great deal of effort up front, she acknowledges, but it's worth it. "To understand these texts in literary terms, one often needs to know something about theology and history. So, for example, one needs to understand how Jonathan Edwards thought salvation happened, to understand why he would write about grace as a taste of honey but also give a sermon in which he represented the sinners as a spider dangling by a thread over the fires of hell.
"Part of my job," Gordis adds, "is to help students work their way into these writings so that they can see how interesting and exciting these texts are." At Barnard she teaches a variety of courses, mainly on early America, including American Literature to 1800 and American Literature 1800–1870.
Gordis uses technology to support her students' efforts. Thanks to increasingly accessible digital archives, she can introduce primary materials in the classroom with greater ease than in the past. For example, in teaching Moby-Dick recently, she was able to share period political cartoons featuring shipwrecks and whales. A class blog helps students in big lecture classes engage with one another and the material.
Gordis came to her subject as a college student at Harvard; she entered expecting to obtain a degree in biology. But in an American history class, she became fascinated with Anne Hutchinson. The more Gordis studied Hutchinson's story, the more it drew her in. Hutchinson, the daughter of a minister, who came to the New World soon after Bradstreet, challenged Puritan authorities on their teachings regarding salvation. She held meetings in her home to discuss the ministers' sermons, and seems to have suggested that some ministers were putting too much emphasis on works as a way of ascertaining one's spiritual status. However, all records of her ideas are at best secondhand, so it's hard to be sure what Hutchinson actually believed. Instead, she's something of a historical cipher, challenging historians to understand why she was so disruptive that she was both banished by the Massachusetts Bay Colony and excommunicated by the Boston church.
The range of scholarly responses—emphasizing gender, class, personality, and theology—intrigued Gordis, and led to her doctoral work on Puritan theology, preaching, and exegesis. She found inherent and interesting contradictions in the Puritan system of biblical interpretation. Puritan exegetes argued, for instance, that a verse needed to be read in context to be properly understood. "On the other hand," she says, "they believed that one way to understand a verse was to compare it to other biblical verses that were either similar to it or different from it, which meant that those verses were taken out of context."
Since earning her PhD from UCLA, Gordis has authored a number of works, including a related book, Opening Scripture: Bible Reading and Interpretive Authority in Puritan New England, the seeds for which were planted back at Harvard. "I think that means I've finally finished my undergraduate thesis," she jokes.
For her current project, she is digging into early Quaker theories of language. Early Quakers tried to close the gap between divine language and fallen human language. To purify language, they rejected not only oaths, but even polite greetings like "good morrow." George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, argued that if you wished someone a "good morrow" and he was actually on an errand of evil, you might unwittingly seem to be condoning that evil, and thus be implicated in it. Quakers also argued that "thou" and "thee" should be preserved as second-person singular pronouns, trying to reverse the widespread adoption of "you." Fox even coauthored an extraordinary polyglot grammar, amassing examples from 33 languages including Latin, Greek, Polish, Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Coptic to show that there should be separate second-person singular and plural pronouns.
Early Quaker texts sometimes seem strange in their attention to usage details, yet they share with the Puritan texts that drew Gordis to the field a sense that language and reading matter. Gordis is neither Puritan nor Quaker, but she shares that sense. "These texts are compelling," she suggests, "in part because their authors believed so firmly that the words people say and write have deep spiritual and moral significance. Words mattered to them, and their words matter to me."

If your kid hates broccoli, try, try again
Repeated exposure to foods may be the antidote to picky eating
Baby V really likes to eat. A lot. Ever since she got her first taste of avocado at around 4 months old, the girl has not turned a single snack down. Sardines. Pickles. Plain Greek yogurt. Luckily for me, she eats it all with gusto.
Until this week. For some mysterious reason, Baby V started to refuse her scrambled eggs. She simply won't touch them. (OK, that's not exactly true: She loves touching scrambled eggs, which is how they end up in an impossibly fine eggy mist that coats everything within a three-foot radius of her seat.)
This new egg intolerance might just be a blip, or it may be a harbinger of Baby V's emerging pickiness, which is thought to peak in kids between ages 2 and 6. And peak it does: One study found that up to half of 2 year olds were picky eaters. Food choosiness isn't just a way for a kid to drive a parent mad (though I'm sure that's a large part of it). Pickiness actually makes sense: When kids are bombarded with new and unusual foods, sticking with safe, familiar choices is a good way to avoid eating something dangerous.
Taste preferences start in the womb. Fetuses slurp up amniotic fluid, seasoned with whatever mom just ate. (You're welcome for the seasoned amniotic fluid imagery.) These flavors, such as carrots or garlic, tap into the fetus's taste system, which begins to form in the first trimester. The more exposure to a certain taste, the more a baby is to eventually like it. Babies whose mothers drank a lot of carrot juice while pregnant and breastfeeding preferred carrot-flavored cereal, for instance.
Familiarity breeds yum, in this case. And I was amazed when I saw just what familiarity means to young kids. Some recent work suggests that to get kids used to a certain flavor, that food should be offered and tasted anywhere from six to 14 times. That's a whole lot of tasting. And lots of parents don't have that kind of patience. Most parents reported giving their kids a new food three to five times before giving up. Only 6 to 9 percent of parents kept offering a new food six to 10 times.
This kind of intense exposure can transform a reviled food into a familiar one, making the kid more likely to eat it. One study had parents give their child a tiny taste of one of six raw vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, green peppers or red peppers) every day for 14 days. After this intense tasting exposure, kids were more likely to eat the veggie, the researchers found.
So it seems that stamina might be the most important factor in getting new foods into your kids. My friend told me about her family's mandatory "no thank you" portions — just a tiny taste, but a taste nonetheless. That's a great way to get a little hit of flavor onto young taste buds.
I'm not sure where that leaves us with scrambled eggs, which aren't a new, crazy food for Baby V. Maybe next week her capricious taste buds will suddenly decide to like them again. Or maybe not.

If you've ever wondered what you're most likely to die from at any given time, check out this data visualization posted to Reddit by UCanDoEat.
The 2010 data is from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (check out their website for an interactive version of the chart), and it provides an interesting look into the most common causes of death for different age brackets.
Check it out:
As the chart shows, transport injuries and intentional injuries (including suicide) are the leading causes of death for young people. Transport injuries caused 36% of deaths among people aged 15 to 19 (and 29% of deaths among those aged 20 to 24), while intentional injuries were responsible for 30% and 32% of deaths for those age groups, respectively.
Once you start to get older, cancer and other diseases arise.
Mental disorders account for a significant portion of deaths at nearly every age.
Some causes of death left off the chart were posted to Reddit — including war and disaster, digestive diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, malaria, maternal disorders, and nutritional deficiencies — but UCanDoEat did create an annotated version that's a bit easier to read:

The popularity of the movie "Water for Elephants" provides an excuse for this parade of powerful pachyderm facts:
1. African and Asian elephants are different species. The African savanna elephant is taller and heavier, has bigger ears and a concave back. The Asian's trunk ends with just one lip, versus two on African elephants. The Asian has one fewer pair of ribs but more toenails. And Asian elephants are hairier, which makes sense, as they are more closely related to the extinct woolly mammoth than to their contemporaries in Africa.
2. Duchess, Lincoln Park Zoo's first elephant, once escaped. In October 1892, she ran through a pond before leaving the zoo grounds at about Clark and what is now Dickens (see the map for her approximate route). During her rampage she demolished a brewery door and wreaked havoc inside a bar. A horse also died in the fray. Chased by zoo keepers, residents and police, Duchess fled down Cleveland Avenue, "plunging through the board sidewalks at every step," the Tribune reported. Zookeepers finally slowed her down by getting ropes around her legs and tying her to trees.
3. A rare intersection of elephants and opera is Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida," which has often been staged with pachyderms. Before soprano Maria Callas lost weight, a critic quipped that "it was difficult to discern Callas' ankles from those of the elephant in the scene." Another mammoth insult was delivered by composer Gioachino Rossini to hefty contralto Marietta Alboni. He called her "the elephant that swallowed a nightingale."
4. While the word jumbo possibly didn't originate with the massive African elephant in the Barnum and Bailey Circus, he certainly popularized it. Jumbo was billed as the largest elephant in the world and was a huge draw in the U.S. He was killed in 1885 by a train in St. Thomas, Ontario. (Railway City Brewing Co. there makes a beer called Dead Elephant Ale.) Jumbo's stuffed body, which toured with the circus for four more years, was given to Tufts University, and became the school's mascot. .
5. For both Asian and African elephants, pregnancy lasts about 22 months. Because of gestation and lactation time, a female elephant may have only six offspring her entire life.
6. Sexually mature male elephants go through periodic states known as musth, in which they produce high levels of testosterone, are dangerously aggressive and secrete a foul-smelling liquid from a gland behind their eyes.
7. One of the most bizarre incidents in U.S. history — and a horrific example of animal cruelty — occurred in Erwin, Tenn., in 1916. A trainer with a traveling circus was killed by a five-ton elephant named Mary, and circus officials feared that surrounding towns would ban their show. So they took Mary to a rail yard and hanged her by the neck from a crane in front of 2,500 spectators, many of them children. The first attempt failed when the elephant's weight snapped a chain, causing her to fall and break her hip. A second try with a heavier chain succeeded. She was buried in a grave dug with a steam shovel.
8. Lincoln Park Zoo acquired Judy from Brookfield Zoo in 1943. But the 35-year-old elephant refused to ride in a flatbed truck, so she walked the 18 miles to her new home. Escorted by zoo staff and motorcycle cops, Judy set off at 7 p.m. and traversed the western suburbs and the West Side, resting for two hours in Garfield Park before reaching Lincoln Park at 2:15 a.m.
9. Walt Disney bought the rights to "Dumbo, the Flying Elephant" for $1,000 from Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl, a husband-and-wife team. Their original was published as a rare roll-a-book, a picture book on a scroll. The movie was released in 1941.
10. Ald. "Bathhouse John" Coughlin, one of Chicago's most corrupt and colorful politicians, bought a Lincoln Park Zoo elephant named Princess Alice for a reported $3,000 around 1905 and sent the elephant to his private zoo near Colorado Springs, Colo. The Chicago zoo was willing to give up the animal because its trunk was damaged when it got stuck in a door jamb.

Sri Lanka, Australia draw rain-hit second Test
Resolute Sri Lankan batting and bad weather frustrated Australia's bid for a series-clinching win as the second Test ended in a draw in Pallekele today. Scorecardcricket Updated: Sep 12, 2011 16:27 IST
Resolute Sri Lankan batting and bad weather frustrated Australia's bid for a series-clinching win as the second Test ended in a draw in Pallekele on Monday.
Just 35.3 overs were bowled on the final day, in which Sri Lanka moved from their overnight score of 223-2 to 317-6 in the second innings, an overall lead of 80 with four wickets in hand.
Three half-centuries led a determined batting display by the hosts, who had faced defeat after being shot out for 174 in their first knock.
Seamer Ryan Harris finished with 3-54 as the tourists chipped away at the Sri Lankan middle order, but rain did not leave enough time for Michael Clarke's men to force the result that would have given them the series.
Angelo Mathews was unbeaten on 11 and Suraj Randiv was on four when play was halted midway through the post-lunch session. The match was finally called off two hours before the scheduled close.
Australia lead the three-match series 1-0 after their 125-run win in the first Test in Galle, with the final Test starting at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Friday.
Sri Lanka, who trailed by 14 runs at the start of the day, lost both their overnight batsmen, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, within the first hour.
Australia removed the two star batsmen with the second new ball, which was taken as soon as it was due after one over from Trent Copeland with the old ball.
Sangakkara failed to add to his overnight score of 69 when he was squared up by a lifting delivery from Harris and edged a waist-high catch to Clarke at second slip.
The dismissal broke a threatening 101-run stand for the third wicket between Sri Lanka's main batting hopes.
Clarke then dived to his left to snap a stunning low catch in the slips and send back Jayawardene for 51 off the bowling off Copeland.
Jayawardene stood his ground as the umpires debated whether the ball had touched the ground before landing in Clarke's hand, but replays confirmed it was a clean catch.
Sri Lanka were 288-4, a lead of 51 runs, when a sharp shower drove the players back to the pavilion and the umpires ordered lunch 30 minutes early.
When play resumed, Australia grabbed two wickets in the space of six runs to reduce Sri Lanka to 307-6.
Harris picked up his third wicket of the innings when he forced Prasanna Jayawardene (21) to edge a catch to wicket-keeper Brad Haddin.
Thilan Samaraweera made a dogged 43 when he was dismissed in similar fashion by Shane Watson in the post-lunch session.

After some testing, I figured out that include() or require() seems to be the problem. If ran via HTTP no problem, but running in cmd-line the script is stopping when it should include another file.

Fellow Boomers will recognize the reference: "Eve of Destruction," by Barry McGuire, was one of the big hits of 1965. Its chorus sticks in one's head after all these years:
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve
of destruction.
That's the way liberals are feeling tonight. Tomorrow has the potential to be the worst day for the left since, what? I would say Bush v. Gore. There likely will be a double whammy: the House will vote to hold Eric Holder in contempt, making him the first Attorney General in history to be so cited, and a number of Democrats will join with the Republicans, making the resolution bipartisan. At more or less the same time, the Supreme Court will deliver its long-awaited Obamacare decision.
So hysteria has been building throughout the day. Democrats are spinning furiously; law professor Larry Tribe predicted confidently this his former student John Roberts will author a majority opinion that upholds Obamacare in its entirety, on a 6-3 vote. Well, I am a former student of Tribe's, too, and I think Obamacare is going down to defeat, 5-4. There is some reason to believe, I think, that Roberts has written the majority opinion and that Scalia is not a dissenter; if that is correct, Obamacare is a goner.
Beyond predicting victory, Democrats have tried to posture the case as a test of the Court. If the Court doesn't uphold Obamacare, it's racist! It's just like the Dred Scott decision! (I think that was Chris Matthews.) Hysteria has been rampant all day long.
Paul commented earlier this evening on the political implications of the decision. I want to make a broader point about the merits of the case, which raises the most fundamental issue about the nature of our government. The Constitution established a national government of limited, enumerated powers. At the time, and for many years after, there was no doubt about this proposition. Even today, pretty much everyone pays lip service to the idea that the federal government is one of limited powers.
But history has taken a different turn. Over the last century, the Commerce Clause has been used to justify federal involvement in pretty much everything. The clause itself does not obviously justify such a broad interpretation:
Congress has the power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes."
So, does that mean that the federal government can run your family's health care? Every Democrat says Yes. While seldom articulated honestly, the standard view of today's liberal is that the federal government can do anything that is not specifically proscribed in the Bill of Rights. Which means that the federal government has plenary authority and is not, in fact, a government of enumerated powers.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has, on a couple of occasions, backed away from the premise that the Commerce Clause authorizes everything imaginable. But Obamacare raises this question in a manner that is both more stark and much more important than any prior case. It is fair to say that if running your family's health care is permitted by the Commerce Clause, then anything is permitted. So it is now or never for the Constitution. The stakes are very high. I have no special insight here, but I hope and expect that tomorrow's majority (or plurality) opinion not only holds key provisions of Obamacare unconstitutional, but also lays the foundation for a rational interpretation of the Commerce Clause and a restoration of the federalism that the Constitution was intended to establish.
If that happens, liberals will once again go crazy, which will be sad but entertaining. Here is a firm prediction, however: if the Court goes the other way and upholds Obamacare, conservatives will not become hysterical, will not proclaim the death of democracy, and will not accuse the liberal justices of racism, or whatever. Notwithstanding the high stakes involved, conservatives will respond in a reasonable and dignified manner.
Let's hope, however, that that prediction is not tested.

An Emergency is On!
An African American journal, Opportunity, calls for equal wages for black workers.
Editorial by T. Arnold Hill, Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life
September, 1933
Negro workers are being discharged by employers whose belief in white supremacy will not tolerate their paying Negroes a wage equal to that paid whites. Fearful that such practices will force many Negroes now employed into idleness, some are suggesting that the codes of the National Industrial Recovery Act provide a dual wage scale -- one that will allow the option of paying a smaller wage to Negroes than to whites.
Such a position is economically unsound and socially unjust. Few employers will pay more for their labor than they have to. If they can get Negroes cheaper than they can whites, the latter will often find themselves unwanted and unemployed. This condition will tend to perpetuate the age-old strife between the two groups and make for actual warfare at a time when it takes little to foment either racial or industrial discord.
Moreover, it is impossible to have national recovery as long as one-ninth of the nation's workers are not given the opportunity to recover. If high wages are essential to an improved economic and social state, then recovery of business and public welfare is retarded to the extent that low wages are permitted. In leaving agricultural and domestic workers out of the code formula, the bulk of Negro workers, some 3,000,000 out of a total of 5,500,000, will continue to live under a system which is little better than slavery. Wages now for domestic workers in the South are down to as low as $1.50 per week, and three dollars a week is regarded as a good wage.
It has been contended that what the nation needs to lift it out of the depression is adequate consumption for normal production of goods. Because we are not able now to consume all products farmed, it is costing the government millions to subsidize farmers who are turning crops back into the soil rather than harvest them for a market over-stocked with farm products. If the 2,500,000 Negroes in the North and the 9,500,000 in the South earned more they would buy more. The masses of Negroes have never purchased enough food, clothing, furniture, transportation, hospitalization, and the like. Twelve million people would greatly expand production if they were employed and paid according to their economic value rather than their social status.
If a correlation were established between the wages paid Negro workers and the minimum wage level for all workers, it would undoubtedly show that the starvation wages received by Negroes have been directly responsible for limiting the economic security of all workers, as well as for contracting the market for consumer goods. Thus, Mississippi and South Carolina must forever be backward states as long as one-half the members of their population are not allowed sufficient livelihood to purchase their normal share of their state's products.
If employers are unwilling to pay Negroes wages equal to those paid whites, then let them be discharged. There should be no wage distinction based upon race in the NRA codes. To the extent that people are unemployed, to that same extent will those who work have to take care of them. This fits Negroes as well as whites. If all Negroes are discharged in the South, so that whites may work, then the employed whites will have to support the idle Negroes. It is unfair, of course, that the race should be forced into mendicancy, but it is better that Negro workers insist upon wages equal to those paid whites, even if it means their ultimate discharge, than to accept smaller wages and thereby perpetuate the class distinctions that now exist. Neither position is a satisfactory one for the Negro, but it is fair to assume that if the burden of support for the maintenance of Negroes were thrown upon the State, conditions would tend to right themselves much more quickly than if Negroes submitted to a smaller wage.
But more than this, the Government of the United States and the Recovery Administration, must put an end to this hypocrisy for the sake of national integrity. At some point this system of exploitation must cease. It impedes prosperity and disqualifies the government as a democracy fit to pass sentence upon other nations. President Roosevelt cannot permit the United States to rush to the protection of Cuba and at the same time tolerate the enslavement of its own fellow-citizens. Neither can our economic experts permit race prejudice to nullify all the thinking, planning and work that have gone into the agricultural and industrial plans for business recovery. Is the New Deal departing from the conventional in all important national issues, to be listless to the plight of twelve million persons, merely because they are darker than the other 110,000,000? Are we to have a New Deal for whites and an old deal for Negroes? The United States cannot possibly remain an international arbiter if it continues to neglect to arbitrate its own domestic affairs.
As serious a national blunder as the neglect of Negroes is, it is not as disturbing as the failure of Negroes to rouse themselves on behalf of their own salvation. This is largely because Negro leaders have not agreed upon a program. They are in agreement that something is wrong; and while they suspect that it has its foundation in economics, they are not sure what the "something" is, nor how to get rid of it. Those who have been leading are unwilling to try new ideas or new personnel. Ignorance and custom are not the only drawbacks. Traditional enmities, factional differences, organizational loyalties, personal likes and dislikes all stand in the way of a united front at the time when the most potent weapon is the impact upon governmental authority of a solidified public opinion representative of Negroes everywhere and of every activity in life. There has been no honorable attempt to bring this about. When efforts are undertaken with the same bias and selfishness that have so often characterized projects of this sort heretofore, then we can expect weak organizations, weak support, and weak results.
An emergency is on. It calls for forthright leadership that will indoctrinate Negro masses with an awareness of the effect of economic relationships upon other aspects of life. It demands leadership that will provide a program for insulating Negroes with industrial and occupational information and firing them with devotion to a cause that is just and fruitful. This leadership is needed to compel the respect of the Administration and to build an esprit de corps among the masses of Negroes who are ready psychologically for a program as they have never been before.

Lori Andrade, the chief operating officer of The Health & Welfare Council of Long Island, spoke briefly about the activities of the Long Island Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster in response to Hurricane Sandy. LIVOAD comprises a team of 80 governmental and non-governmental members who work to foster a coordinated approach to respond to mental of physical issues of residents following disasters and crises. The team was founded in December of 2011 following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and reformed during the economic crisis of 2007-2008, as well as after 2011's Hurricane Irene.
Andrade said that LIVOAD, in the days before and after the hurricane hit, had daily phone conversations with 25 organizations, and that Island Harvest played a huge role in addressing the issues that each organization faced. "The need is unprecedented, as we've heard from both of our counties, there is significant needs out there that we haven't dealt with before," Andrade said. "The effort has been unprecedented also."
But Shubin-Dresner indicated that while the moment of disaster has passed, Island Harvest is now entering its long-term recovery mode. She said she recently spoke with agencies who responded to 2005's Hurricane Katrina, and was told that the recovery process lasted approximately 18 months. "So we know we're in this for the long haul," she said.
She added that, after completing a survey, 90 percent of the organization's food agencies are back up and running following the storm, another 5 percent remain in limbo, while another 5 percent are expected to re-emerge in the near future.
Addressing how the organization will evolve in the future, Christensen said the plan is to develop more partnerships, create stronger programs, and to increase communication within its network of agencies. "That's the key to all of this. It's the communication," said Christiansen. "You know your community better than anyone else. That information you share with us invaluable."

A Terrible Paradise is a romantic drama set on the notorious Norfolk Island during the last years of the convict era when those employed to administer the settlement were able to exercise their sadism in a reign of brutality against those who could not retaliate in the knowledge that their superiors in
Sydney and London cared little for the welfare of the convicts.
For Alice Cartwright, though, the fate of one of the convicts weighs heavily on her. He speaks to her on the journey to the island from Van Diemen's Land. he knows her name. Despite his ragged appearance there is something about his bearing that tells her he is no ordinary criminal. She convinces herself he has committed no crime. But discovering why he has been sent to Norfolk Island is impossible. Her mother forbids any talk of convicts under her roof and none of the young men who work for the dreaded commandant dare offend the wife of the superintendent of agriculture by answering her daughter's questions.
The more she is denied information the more determined she is to rescue her convict from his plight. She cannot imagine how many lives she will be putting at risk by her actions or whether her love for this man of mystery will be returned if she succeeds.

The wall is an actual fish tank. And over the weekend, the tank received its first residents.
Amazingly, this is not the first fish tank in Major League Baseball. The Tampa Bay Rays have a large tank filled with Cownose Rays beyond the outfield wall.

Spotlight on Oregon's Geothermal Power Potential
PORTLAND, Ore. - On Tuesday, the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) will release its annual "state of the industry" report in Washington, D.C., and Oregon could figure prominently in the future of geothermal power in the west. Geothermal power accounts for less than four percent of the nation's energy, but the geothermal industry says that's changing - and Oregon is part of the picture.
In the past year, the report said, geothermal growth was up 5 percent nationwide, and plants are online in nine western states - including Oregon. California is still the leader by far, with more geothermal capacity than any other state or country. Bill Glassley, who heads the California Geothermal Energy Collaborative, said Oregon could be a contender, too.
"The potential in Oregon is huge, and so little is developed," said Glassley. "They're talking about probably around 540 megawatts of electrical power generation that could be produced. That's a lot - and that's just the identified resource."
Glassley said another 2,000 megawatts of untapped power is likely available in Oregon, and that hasn't even been explored. Oregon's major challenge is that the geothermal resources are mostly in remote areas where transmission capability is limited, he added.
The GEA is touting new technologies for finding and using geothermal resources, which Glassley said could address the uncertainties that have held back major development to date.
"The upfront costs are high for exploration and drilling," he explained, "and the risks are high in terms of not hitting the resource that you want when you punch a hole in the ground. So, a lot of the research going forward right now is trying to reduce that upfront cost."
Some of the new methods are based on oil and gas drilling technology and come with concerns about their potential environmental impact. However, Elise Brown, associate director of the California Geothermal Energy Collaborative, said geothermal power is one answer to critics' charges that renewable energy is unreliable when the wind does not blow or the sun does not shine.
"One of the best things about geothermal is, it can replace a coal plant, operating as a baseload resource - but it can also operate as a peaking plant," she said. "It can be built to serve the variability of solar and wind."
Oregon has more than a dozen geothermal projects online or in development, but less than 1 megawatt of power is being generated. California has more than 2,700 megawatts of installed geothermal capacity, and Nevada is the runner-up, with about 500 megawatts.
The GEA report will be posted after Tuesday's briefing at www.geo-energy.org.

Enjoying Foie Gras While You Can, Tomato Seedling Sale & More
Chef Ken Frank's Extravagant Foie Gras Duck Burger
Picture rich duck confit formed into a thick patty, then topped with seared foie gras.
At Bank Cafe & Bar in the lobby of the Westin Verasa Napa, Chef Ken Frank of La Toque fame, invites you to taste just that.
The duck foie burger has been a popular fixture on the cafe's menu since it opened four years ago. Frank plans to continue selling it until July 1, when California will become the only state in the country to ban the sale of foie gras.
Enjoy the $24 burger at lunch or dinner — while you can.
To learn more about Frank's strong stance against the ban, read this thoughtful piece he penned for the Los Angeles Times.
Northern California Chefs vs. Southern California Chefs in Foie Gras "Battle"
If you happen to be traveling to Los Angeles on May 14, you won't want to miss this blockbuster chef affair.
Especially because it involves foie gras. A lot of foie gras.
Chefs from the Bay Area will be flying down south to work alongside their notable Southern California counterparts at four top Los Angeles restaurants for one night and one night only. At each of the restaurants, the chefs will be creating a six-course feast of foie gras.
It's all a benefit for the Coalition for Humane and Ethical Farming Standards (CHEFS), a pro-foie gras organization.
OK, it's not a full-on battle, per se. But you can be sure the Bay Area chefs will be trying to outdo the Los Angeles ones with their dishes.
Here's who will be cooking where:
Mélisse: Josiah Citron of Mé lisse; Brendan Collins of Waterloo & City; Raphael Lunetta of Jiraffe; Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani of Terra in St. Helena and Ame in San Francisco; Mark Dommen of One Market in San Francisco; and Justin Wangler of Kendall-Jackson in Sonoma.
The Royce at the Langham: David Féau of the Royce at the Langham; Michael Cimarusti of Providence; Micah Wexler of Mezze; Doug Kean of Cyrus in Healdsburg; Victor Scargle of Lucy at Bardessono in Yountville; and Peter Armellino of the Plumed Horse in Saratoga.
Patina: Tony Esnault and Octavio Becerra of Patina; Joey Elentario of Chez TJ in Mountain View; and Marc Zimmerman of Alexander's Steakhouse in San Francisco.
Animal: Vinny Dotolo of Animal; Ludo Lefebvre of LudoBites; Michael Voltaggio of INK; and Roland Passot of La Folie in San Francisco.
Unfortunately, the Animal dinner is already sold out. Tickets to the other three dinners are $200 per person.
Tomato Plant Sale

Winner of Last Week's Food Gal Contest
In last week's contest, I asked you to tell me your fondest memory that involves your Mom and seafood. The winner will receive a "Regatta Gift Package" from Anderson Seafoods. The package, valued at $300, includes four pounds of wild Mexican shrimp, two cold-water South African rock lobster tails, four pounds of dry-packed scallops, 32 ounces of Norwegian salmon and 32 ounces of Alaskan halibut.
Congrats to:
Cheryl Stoy, who wrote, "My mom practicing with me the week before my first 'big' date. When she found out he was taking me to Anthony's Fish House, she not only practiced my table manners with me, she went out and got crab legs and lobster and said 'How we eat it at home or in a casual restaurant is not how you eat it wearing your best dress, favorite shoes and sitting across from the guy of your dreams.'

Dear Pink Flamingo,
I've been hearing a lot lately about how lazy you professors are. I've heard you only work about 20 hours per week, have summers off, and spend the winter break just lounging around doing nothing. Is that true?
Jealous in Janesville
Dear Jealous,
Yes, it's absolutely true. The vast majority of us got into this field, not because we value education, but because of how easy it is to do what we do. When it comes to the winter break, most of us use it as a chance to sit around and relax rather than to catch up on the work we were unable to complete during the semester. We never have meetings during this time, never go to conferences, and never spend this time planning our courses for the next semester or working on our research.
In fact, here's what a typical day will look like for me over the break. When I'm ready to get out of bed (around 10:30 or so), I ring for my valet. He brings up my clothes for the day (all new as I don't like to wear the same thing twice) and lets me know what the cook has prepared for my breakfast. Typically, I take my breakfast (usually eggs benedict) in the den so I can watch Saved by the Bell while I eat. My masseuse is scheduled to arrive around noon for my hour long massage treatment. After that, I usually take a long bath and eat the lunch that's been prepared for me. At that point, I'm pretty tired so I take my afternoon nap. When I wake up, it's around 4:00 and I like to spend the next few hours before dinner watching television or movies. Around 7:00, my lobster dinner (I have them flown in from Maine each afternoon) has been prepared for me so I sit down to eat. After my dessert, I adjourn to the game room (if I still have the energy) and spend the rest of the evening playing video games before bed. My valet then brings me my cashmere pajamas, I climb into my ridiculously comfortable bed, and fall asleep to the sound of my personal orchestra playing Hush Little Baby.
It's a glamorous life and I sometimes wonder, if what we do is so very easy and our lives are so luxurious… why don't more people do it?

The Evolution of Skin main content.
by AMNH on
Skin is the body's largest organ, and one with a complex cultural and evolutionary past. At the upcoming SciCafe on Wednesday, May 2, biological anthropologist Nina Jablonski will discuss how human skin evolved, particularly as an adaptation to ultraviolet radiation. She recently answered a few questions about skin and its role in our lives.
When did you decide to study the history of human skin?
Nina Jablonski: By accident. About 23 years ago, a colleague asked me to give a lecture to his class about skin because he was going to be out of town for a conference. I obliged. In preparing for the lecture, I realized just how little had been written about the evolution and meaning of human skin.
Why is human skin unique?
Jablonski: The "primary uniqueness" of human skin is that it is mostly hairless. Because of this, the skin itself, rather than hair covering it, is the body's main protection against physical assault. Many of the most important and distinctive attributes of skin are consequences of hairlessness. Our mostly hairless skin is tough, colorful, and available for deliberate decoration.
How do climate and geographical location affect skin color?
Jablonski: Skin color is closely related to intensity of ultraviolet radiation, or UVR. Higher concentrations of melanin pigment are protective against high levels of UVR. Lower levels of melanin are an adaptation to lower UVR. Modern humans evolved in equatorial Africa over 120,000 years ago, and our original skin color was dark. As humans dispersed outside of equatorial latitudes beginning around 80,000 years ago, populations entering the highest latitudes with the lowest UVR underwent genetic changes leading to loss of pigmentation.
Is human skin still evolving?
Jablonski: It may still be evolving, but not at the same rate it did earlier in our history. Modern humans use mostly cultural means like clothing and shelters to protect themselves from extremes of sunlight and temperature. Our skin is no longer under the environmental stress that it was, say, 50,000 years ago.
What effect are modern indoor lifestyles having on our skin?
Jablonski: The biggest effect that modern lifestyles have on us is the slowing or prevention of vitamin D production in the skin. Most people today live in cities and are protected from the UVR that starts the process of vitamin D production in skin. As a result, many people are deficient in this important vitamin.
What's the most misunderstood thing about human skin?
Jablonski: People generally don't appreciate just how much their skin does for them, in being a protective covering, a biochemical factory, and a canvas for self-expression.

Sheriff's Office to conduct saturation patrol on Dec. 13
On Friday evening the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office will conduct a "saturation patrol" in southern Leavenworth County in an effort to reduce the number of intoxicated drivers.
The patrol will put additional officers on the roadways of Leavenworth County at a time of year when, the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office says, people are attending Holiday parties and in some cases consuming more alcohol than they might normally.
A directed patrol's main goal, according to Maj. James Sherley, is to avoid accidents and the injuries that so often accompany them.
"Our goal as an agency is to proactively address the problem of drunk driving to reduce the number of accidents," Sherley said in a statement this week.
Sheriff Andy Dedeke and the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office are preaching the message that, if you have had too much to drink, the prudent decision is to "pass the keys to a sober driver."
Sheriff's Patrol Division Commander Lt. Eric Thorne will oversee the operation on Dec. 13.

Military, Public Service
By Staff Writer | November 1, 2007
Send Feedback
You may not have seen much in the news about manpads and Iraq, but U.S. military officials and defense analysts are increasingly concerned about that threat to helicopters operating there.
The concern is that Iraqi insurgents, supported by Iran, are upgrading their arsenal to include more man-portable, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. The U.S. military on Sept. 30 said it had seized Iranian-made Misagh 1 surface-to-air missiles in different locations. "We've said that we've found these things, we've seen them employed," Rear Adm. Mark Fox told reporters in Baghdad. "That's significant in its own right."
Insurgents previously have used older model, Russian-made SA-7s and SA-14s against U.S. and allied helicopters, as well as rocket-propelled grenades and concentration of small-arms fire.

New Student Information System
We are excited to be implementing a new student information system called Synergy, starting in the 2017-18 school year!
With Synergy comes access to ParentVUE, which will be replacing myRCS. This is a valuable online tool to assist parents/guardians in monitoring their student's academic progress, attendance, assignments, grades, course history, and other educational information anytime, day or night. ParentVUE will have schedules, bus, and teacher information available in late August. We will provide more information on this soon.
Each parent/guardian of record will be receiving a ParentVUE activation letter. This letter will guide you through accessing and setting up ParentVUE. Secondary letters will be included in student's registration packets and elementary and parents not living at the address of residence will receive a mailing to their home. Our goal is to provide this information the week of August 14th.
Thank you for your flexibility and support as we navigate this district-wide implementation.

Blue Ribbon
Ulp...sorry, you caught me taking a quick nip.
One of our biggest regrets in the Top 100 Drinking Songs list was how poorly Mr. Johnny Russell performed, particularly his seminal rendition of Mountain favorite "Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer".
"Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer" is the quintessential working-man's bar tune, a joyous shout out to camaraderie amongst those whose fingernails get a little dirty, and the aches and pains of a day's hard labor are assuaged by the popped top on a cold one, the jukebox, the ball game on tv, and the racked balls on the pool table. No pretense on this one.
It doesn't hurt that Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is a highly favored brew here at the Mountain.
As a bonus, we've got another fine little drinking tune from Russell, "Drinking a Beer and Singing a Country Song". If you were ever curious about the connection between Country music and the consumption of tasty beverages, this should spell it out for you pretty (ever)clearly. There is no Country without a drink, and there is no drinking without a little sip of the good stuff.
Barstool Mountain approved! 200 proof!

I can just see Johnny Russell spending the afternoon in his local establishment, letting "Rednecks..." pretty much just write itself. I kinda always thought of this as a hokey novelty tune, but damn if he doesn't nail it.

We've heard about the thinner, lighter and better variant of the Nokia Lumia 920 that Verizon is expected to get and now we get a look of what it'll look like. Probably. The reliable leak happy @evleaks Twitter account has posted pictures of a black Lumia 928 and it looks great (it also looks like what you expect a Lumia to look like).
Like what we heard before, the 928 does look a little more Lumia 720-ish, as it's less curved than the 920. Hopefully that means it's going to be a lot lighter too. There isn't any official word on when the Lumia 928 will release but it should be soon. Rumors had pointed it towards April. [@EVLeaks]

Jaguars sign veteran CB Trufant
Jacksonville, FL – The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with longtime Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant on Tuesday.
Trufant spent his first 10 seasons with Seattle, the team that made him the 11th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft.
The 32-year-old brings a wealth of experience, having played in 136 games with 125 starts over the course of his career.
During his time with the Seahawks, Trufant deflected 115 passes and recorded 21 interceptions, including a career-best seven during an All-Pro season in 2007. He's made 638 tackles and has forced five fumbles.
Last season, the veteran played in 12 games and finished with 34 tackles.
Jacksonville also announced the release of cornerback Antwaun Molden.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Oil, copper and Asian shares rose on Friday after China's strong trade data set the scene for economic recovery, although investors opted to book profits before next week's Chinese new year holidays, limiting gains.
European markets are seen climbing, with financial spreadbetters predicting London's FTSE 100 <.ftse>, Paris's CAC-40 <.fchi> and Frankfurt's DAX <.gdaxi> would open up around 0.5 percent. A 0.2 percent drop in U.S. stock futures pointed to a steady Wall Street start. <.l><.eu><.n/>
The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan <.miapj0000pus> added 0.3 percent, wiping earlier losses as bearish sentiment was carried over overnight after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi noted risks still facing the euro zone economy.
The pan-Asian index rose to a 18-month high on Monday. After starting 2013 with a 2.4 percent weekly gain, the index has consolidated in a range between a 0.8 percent rise and a 0.8 percent fall, and looked set for a weekly loss of 0.6 percent.
China said its exports grew 25.0 percent in January from a year ago, the strongest showing since April 2011 and well ahead of market expectations for a 17 percent rise, while imports also beat forecasts, surging 28.8 percent on the year.
"China's economic conditions are improving and the trade data confirms the continuation of a recovery trend. Not just the trade data but retail, production and investment flows clearly show that the economy bottomed out in the third quarter last year," said Hirokazu Yuihama, a senior strategist at Daiwa Securities in Tokyo.
Australian shares rallied 0.7 percent to 34-month highs, led by financial and mining stocks. South Korean shares <.ks11> jumped 1 percent, on track to reverse six losing sessions as investors bought up battered shares after recent declines.
Japan's Nikkei stock average <.n225> snapped a 12-week winning streak to close down 1.8 percent as investors took profits from the index's surge to its highest level since October 2008 on Wednesday. Japanese markets will be closed on Monday for a public holiday. <.t/>
"Asian markets are undergoing a pre-holiday adjustment, keeping prices top-heavy, with many opting to book profits. Prices have gained sharply over the past months, so a correction is healthy. But the upward trend in Asian equities markets remains intact," Daiwa's Yuihama said.
Chinese markets are closed next week for the Lunar New Year holiday, while Hong Kong will resume trading on Thursday.
The euro steadied at $1.3397, after slumping to a two-week low of $1.33705 on Thursday as investors took Draghi's comments as signaling concerns about the euro and Europe's growth outlook. The euro scaled a 14-1/2-month high of $1.3711 last week.
Draghi said the ECB will monitor the economic impact of a strengthening euro, feeding expectations the currency's climb could open the door to an interest rate cut. But he also said the euro's appreciation suggested confidence in the currency was returning.
Spain has already secured more than 18 percent of its full-year medium- and long-term funding target, thanks to strong investor demand as worries about Madrid's financing ability eased.
"Currencies are increasingly becoming part of the policy debate...In the case of the EUR, we believe that the bullish 'overshooting' trend will remain intact as ECB policy continues to promote an asset market friendly environment," Morgan Stanley said in a note.
It added that anticipation of the Bank of Japan's expected bolder easing steps is set to keep the weak yen trend going, supporting global risk appetite.
The dollar fell 0.4 percent to 93.25 yen but not far from 94.075 yen, its highest since May 2010 on Wednesday. The euro eased 0.4 percent to 124.93 yen, after touching its strongest since April 2010 of 127.71 on Wednesday.
Friday's data showing Japan logged a current account deficit for a second straight month in December for its smallest annual surplus on record - evidence of deteriorating trade balances, which support the case for yen selling.
"Japan will remain a nation of current account surpluses but the surplus will not be as high as it used to be," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute in Tokyo.
Upbeat economic reports from China, the world's top consumer of raw materials, lifted industrial commodities on a more robust demand outlook.
London copper rose for the first time in four sessions, up 0.6 percent to $8,245 a metric ton (1.1023 tons).
Brent futures rose towards $118 per barrel, heading for a fourth weekly gain and U.S. crude futures rose 0.3 percent to $96.10.
"The (China) numbers are stronger than expected, which is an encouraging sign," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney. "(But) we will need to wait until March to start getting a better sense of the medium-term trend on China."
Spot gold regained its footing and traded up 0.1 percent at $1,671.80 an ounce after falling on Thursday as the euro weakened. Industrial metals, platinum and palladium, retreated from 17-month highs.
