Bradley Manning, Clinton Fatigue, and the NSA

?A Moderate Verdict: The Bradley Manning verdict and the failure of prosecutorial overreach,? by Fred Kaplan. On Tuesday, Bradley Manning was pronounced not guilty of ?aiding the enemy,? a capital crime that would have earned him life imprisonment. Manning will still spend time behind bars for other crimes, but the military court?s decision to absolve him of this charge sets an important precedent for reporters and leakers. Kaplan examines the prosecution?s approach, arguing that prosecutorial overreach might have shaped Manning?s verdict.

?The Danger of Clinton Fatigue: Hillary Clinton invites drama, even when she does nothing at all. Will voters tire of it before 2016 rolls around? Will she?? by John Dickerson. It?s hard to find an article on the Weiner scandal that doesn?t draw parallels between Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton. Dickerson argues that the media?s eagerness to draw Hillary into the equation only feeds the media hype surrounding the former secretary of state. As this rate, will the public grow tired of Clinton before she even decides to run for president?

?Laws Are Not Enough: Stop telling us what the NSA can?t do to us legally. Show us real barriers to abuse,? by William Saletan. When Eric Snowden leaked the details of the NSA?s surveillance program, the public was stunned by the government?s oversight capacity. Government officials have, however, emphasized the existence of legal limits to data access. Saletan calls on the NSA to release all existing barriers to abuse, as we have a right to know exactly what ?checks and balances? are in place to protect us. Elsewhere in Slate, Jamel Jaffer and Brett Max Kaufman penned this handy guide on how to decipher the vague language of U.S. intelligence officials.

?Rape Myths: I was raped at 55. Here is how I responded,? by Beverly Donofrio. Why don?t rape victims scream for help? In this harrowing account, Donofrio describes her reaction to her own rape and notes that while keeping quiet during a robbery is often seen as ?coolheaded intelligence,? this is rarely the case with rape and suggests that women have internalized the idea that ?if it happened to them they must have at some deep, subconscious level caused, invited, even wanted it to happen.?

?I Wish I Was a Little Bit Shorter: The research is clear: Being tall is hazardous to your health,? by Brian Palmer. The advantages of height are well-documented: tall people tend to have higher IQs and earn more money than their shorter colleagues. Studies linking height and success reveal a correlation between these two variables, but they are far from definitive. In fact, Palmer argues, it?s probably safe to say that even if tall people are generally more successful, it is not their height that makes them so. But the ?evidence linking height to life-threatening disorders should give us all pause,? as ?the fact that tall people die younger appears to be an immutable physical reality.?

?Post-Tragedy: I once knew a girl who lost her whole family before she finished high school. I decided to see what happened to her,? by Emily Yoffe. Sara Kushnick lost her brother to AIDS and her father, and mother to cancer, all before she turned 17. Yoffe first met Kushnick, who now goes by Sara Gorfinkel 20 years ago and decided to find her this year. She finds that Gorfinkel has overcome many challenges to have a career and family and who can say ?life is good.?

"Soap Springs Eternal: All My Children, One Life to Live, and the sweetly human act of caring about fictional characters,? by Willa Paskin. As the soap opera fixtures All My Children and One Life to Live attempt to rekindle their former glory as Web series, Paskin looks at the transition of soap opera through the history of television. She observes how the genre impacted the industry and how, although today?s soap audiences are a fraction of their former size, fans remain dedicated to these fictional characters because the genre ?isn?t storytelling at its best, but it is storytelling at its purest.?

Wave of car bombings in Iraq kills at least 47

(AP) ? A wave of over a dozen car bombings hit central and southern Iraq during morning rush hour on Monday, officials said, killing at least 47 people in the latest coordinated attack by insurgents determined to undermine the government.

The blasts, which wounded scores more, are part of a months-long surge of attacks that is reviving fears of a return to the widespread sectarian bloodshed that pushed the country to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Suicide attacks, car bombings and other violence have killed more than 3,000 people since April, including more than 500 since the start of July, according to an Associated Press count.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida's Iraqi arm. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently sets off such coordinated blasts in an effort to break Iraqis' confidence in the Shiite-led government.

Eight police officers said a total of 12 parked car bombs hit markets and parking lots in predominantly Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad within one hour. They say the deadliest was in the eastern Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, where two separate explosions killed nine civilians and wounded 33 others.

Ambulances rushed to the scene where rescuers and police were removing the charred and twisted remains of the car bombs from the bloodstained pavement. The force of the two explosions lightly damaged nearby houses and shops.

Two other separate car bombs went off in the northern Hurriyah neighborhood, killing six bystanders and wounding 23 others. In the busy northern Kazimiyah neighborhood, another parked car bomb killed four civilians and wounded 12.

In the southwestern neighborhood of Bayaa, three civilians were killed and 15 wounded in another car bomb explosion. In western Baghdad in the neighborhood of Shurta, two other people were killed and 14 wounded.

In the southern Abu Disheer area, four civilians were killed and 17 wounded. Another car bomb struck in the northwestern Tobchi district, killing three and wounding ten others.

Five more people were killed and 44 others wounded in the southwestern Risala neighborhood, the northern Shaab neighborhood and in the town of Mahmoudiya, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad.

The wave of bombings also extended to Iraq's majority-Shiite south.

Back-to-back explosions by two parked car bombs in an outdoor market and near a gathering of construction workers killed seven civilians and wounded 35 others in the city of Kut, 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of Baghdad.

And in the oil-rich city of Basra in southern Iraq, four other people were killed and five wounded when a parked car bomb ripped through a market. Basra is 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad.

Nine health officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.

The violence surged after an April crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawija that killed 44 civilians and a member of the security forces, according to United Nations estimates. The bloodshed is linked to rising sectarian divisions between Iraq's Sunni and Shiite as well as friction between Arabs and Kurds, dampening hopes for a return to normalcy nearly two years after U.S. forces withdrew from the country.

Recruiting on the South Plains | 2014 DB Joseph Clark Commits to Texas Tech

Chapel Hill (Tyler, TX) defensive back and running back commits to Texas Tech and is the seventeenth member of the Texas Tech 2014 recruiting class.

PLAYER: Joseph Clark

POSITION: Defensive Back
HEIGHT: 5'9"
WEIGHT: 180
FORTY: 4.40
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapel Hill (Tyler, TX)
VIDEO: Clip 1
RECRUITING SERVICES: Rivals 5.3 | Scout N/R | ESPN 70 | 247 Sports 78
CUMULATIVE RANKING: 0.7980
VTM PROFILE DATE: July 28, 2013

OFFERS | Air Force, McNeese St., Texas St. and Texas Tech

STATS | Nothing that I could find.

THE PLAYER SPEAKS | Clark spoke with a couple of the recruiting services, you you pretty much have your pick of what you want to read. From ESPN, Clark talked about the coaches:

"Coach Kingsbury, Coach Havery and Coach Curtis are all cool people," Clark said. "To me, it was definitely the coaches. They really made me feel at home, and I love being there. I know I can learn a lot from them."

Clark said much of the same thing in speaking to Rivals ($), via the DMN:

"Man, I?m excited, but I?ve honestly known for a while that I was going to commit," Clark told Rivals.com. "I just decided to wait until I made it out to Lubbock so I could do it in person. I knew that I was going to do it.

"The biggest thing would just have to be the coaches. They just make you feel good, and that?s what it?s all about. They?re all just really good people. Coach (Kliff) Kingsbury, he?s just laid back and cool. He?s not too serious, not too playful, and he?s just a cool, mellow dude. They?re all really cool to get along with."

SCOUTING REPORT | Clark is exactly as described when watching his film. An undersized and hard-hitting safety. That's single sentence describes him best. Oftetimes kids are overlooked because of where they play and their size. It is more likely that Clark is overlooked, because of his size, and I suppose that I'd rather have players that can play even though they aren't 6'0" and 190.

As a safety, Clark is a fantastic run supporter. He's not afraid to stick his nose in any situation. He's got some pretty good speed as a running back. Plenty of speed to out-run defenders and that's usually a pretty good indication of how fast a player is.

I'll let you in on something that I heard from the Spike Dykes reception that I was at. The coaches have a plan. A serious plan. It is common with just about every recruiter when they hear about a kid to ask the question, "Who else has offered?" The Texas Tech gives two flips about this. They apparently aren't asking that question about players. They are making their own determination about players and they don't care who else has offered. I know this is important to some of you, but it isn't at all important to the coaching staff. Not even a little bit. That goes against the grain.

So if you are scratching your head about why a player is offered, it is because the coaching staff generally has very strong opinions about players and they don't pay too much to what other programs are doing.

Joseph, welcome to Texas Tech and Git Your Guns Up!

NFL training camp injuries

Old Today, 05:12 PM ? #10

Experienced Starter w/First Big Contract

?

Join Date: Sep 2004

Posts: 5,197


The mighty 49ers have now lost prized WR Michael Crabtree for the year and maybe for his career with a torn Achille's tendon. Aging #2 Aquain Boldin must now become the #1, but then who plays #2? Meanwhile Frank Gore defies the antique image in his 10th season as lead RB. Incidently they have equaled the number of injuries that they suffered during all of the 2012 season.

The Sea Chickins have lost Percy Harvin for the year with a torn labrum.

The Ravens lost Aquain Boldin, Ed Reed, Ken Kruger to FA and Ray Lewis to retirement. Subtract 5 star players.

The Texans still have prize RB Arien Foster on PUP with a bad leg, and have no other prominent RBs.

The Jets lost a CB to a knee, and haven't yet signed their First round replacement of traded Daryl Revis. Santonio Holmes doesn't think he will be able to play this season with a bad wheel.

The Pats lost their #2 TE to a cell block. Woe is us...

Natives and Israel: Manipulating genocide

(Article changed on July 28, 2013 at 12:39)


Fontaine thanks CIJA for trip to Israel by www.jewishtoronto.com
This month, Canada's media solemnly related "the sad truth that the country engaged in a deliberate policy of attempted genocide against First Nations people", referring to government-sponsored abuse of Native children a century ago, which Canada's Chief Medical Officer Peter Bryce exposed in 1907, but which was hushed up. Bryce was fired and the post of chief medical officer abolished in 1919.

This, of course, is a terrible crime, though the facts have long been known (the study referred to was published in 2006). A study published by Ian Mosby in May this year added fuel to the fire, revealing that from 1942--1952, the government conducted "nutritional experiments" on Native children in the infamous residential schools, where milk rations were halved for years, essential vitamins not issued, and dental services withheld as gum health was a measuring tool for scientists and any care would distort research.

The media splash was made by Phil Fontaine, former chief of the Assembly of First Nations, and Bernie Farber, senior vice-president of Gemini Power Corporation and former head of the Canadian Jewish Congress (since 2011 the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs--CIJA).

This is not the first time that CIJA has expressed 'support' for beleaguered Natives. For years now, just as hundreds of Canadian MPs, MPPs, police officials, what-have-you are invited regularly on junkets to Israel by CIJA or other pro-Israeli groups, CIJA self-proclaimed "social activists" are now courting local Native groups with similar free trips. For instance, Winnipeg CIJA official Shelley Faintuch organized a 10-day Cree Youth Leadership Development Mission to Israel in 2012 and again this year with the support Norway House Cree Nation Chief Ron Evans "to develop the next generation of First Nations leaders by looking through the lens of Israel's inspiring story."

Why would Canadian Jewish leaders suddenly take such an interest in Natives and support their struggle for reparations from the Canadian government for the centuries of colonial subjugation and exploitation? Is it altruism, because of the Jewish tradition of being "a light unto peoples"? This is what CIJA would have us believe, with its claims to "profound cultural and historical similarities", "striving for acceptance, equal rights, rights to their own land".

There is another, very different explanation. The Native resistance movement has continued to grow in the past half century. And anyone with even a slight awareness of how Natives in Canada were dispossessed and abused by colonial settlers can easily see the parallel between Canada's Natives and the Palestinians, who have suffered a century of identical treatment by Jews immigrating to Palestine, which the latter arbitrarily renamed "Israel' in 1948. As Natives become more aware of their common struggle with other aboriginal peoples around the world, they are bound to identify with the Palestinians and their struggle against the colonial settlers.

So it makes perfect sense for Canada's Zionists to be proactive, to try to convince Canada's Natives that it is the (largely European and American) Jews who are indigenous to Palestine, not the native Arabs. The story the Cree are told on their Youth Leadership Development Missions is that Israelis, like the Natives, are merely trying to reassert their legitimate indigenous rights to their land. The screaming headlines about the Canadian government "genocide" against the Natives a century ago just happen to be accompanied by self-serving lectures about the Nazi Holocaust, the "Final Solution', and even allusions to the infamous Dr Mengele experimenting on Jewish victims.

This shameful manipulation of events surrounding a genuine Native tragedy is despicable. It is also a direct slap in the face for Prime Minister Harper with his fawning allegiance to Israel, as codified by one of his first foreign relations moves--the public security cooperation "partnership" with Israel signed in 2008. Does Farber have no allegiance to Canada's prime minister? Isn't his sudden embrace of Native resistance just a tad duplicitous?

Gemini Power's VP is not only a corporate fat cat, but a self-proclaimed "social activist" who according to Wikipedia "works in partnership with First Nations to help develop sustainable business". This translates into: convince the Natives to sell out to resource-hungry corporations like Gemini Power and their government lackeys, intent on building such wonders as liquefied natural gas terminals on the west coast, chromite mining and smelting projects in the James Bay, and tar sands oil production in Alberta.

Is it possible that before Farber published his article in the Toronto Star 19 July, he had a pow wow with Chief Harper, apologizing for the comparison of Canadian government officials to Nazi genocidal maniacs, but explaining that it was all part of a larger win-win plan for them both to defraud the hapless Natives of their resources? What are a few "slings and arrows' between a corporate honcho and his government lackey?

Harper can use all the help he can muster these days, given that the bulk of the Native community is supporting not Israel, but Idle No More, which has declared war on the Conservatives' attempt to replace the government's treaty obligations with market mechanisms in Bills C-45 and C-38.

Farber failed to mention the fact that Israel itself conducted similar "Dr Mengele' experiments on its own Jewish citizens--north African and Ethiopian Jews, who swallowed the Zionist propaganda and fled their traditional homes and cultures to live in the "Jewish state'. According to the documentary "100,000 Radiation" shown on Israeli TV in 2003, starting in 1951, the American army paid the Israeli Health Ministry to radiate children to test for side effects of radiation. An entire generation of Sephardi youths were unwittingly used as guinea pigs.

Yet another Israeli TV documentary aired in 2012 revealed that until recently, Ethiopian Jews were forcibly injected with Depo-Provera, a drug to make them sterile, before they were allowed to immigrate to Israel.

Is Zionist media control so all-powerful as to prevent Canadians and especially Canadian Natives from seeing through the bald-faced lies that Israel and its lobbyist tell, and the truths they hide?

It isn't just Harper who is being duped. Cree Chief Ron Evans personally suffered under the "Dr Mengele' experiments, which were conducted on the Norway House and Le Pas Cree beginning in 1942. But instead of putting two and two together, Evans was coopted by CIJA's Winnipeg affiliate to sponsor the Cree "Missions to Israel', where he pronounced the Jewish people "the true, historic indigenous people of Israel".

Facebook: From Botched IPO To Soaring Stock Price

On Thursday, Facebook shares jumped 30% on news that 2nd Quarter revenue increased 53% to $1.81 billion yielding earnings per share of 19?, which is 26% higher than analysts expectations. Perhaps more importantly, mobile ad revenue was up 41% ? erasing concerns about Facebook's ability to sell advertising on mobile platforms. In fact, analysts at Goldman Sachs boosted the stock's target price from $40 to $46. How did the same company that botched their IPO and sent their corporate image heading south change its fortunes virtually overnight? The answer is quite simple. Rather than disappoint the market, Facebook significantly beat marketplace expectations. Company executives appear to have learned the strategy that Steve Jobs employed at Apple ? underpromise and overdeliver.

IPO mistakes disappoint the markets

Being rookies at going public, Facebook executives conducted a road show to generate interest in their stock. The anticipation of releasing the stock was already high as a result of the secondary market that developed. Therefore, the road show proved counterproductive because detractors spun it as an example of overselling, or hyping the stock. Overselling is rarely good. It is what inexperienced sales people do when they are insecure about their product. Veterans, such as Apple, often understate performance to set lowered expectations. They know that beating expectations will make the stock price pop, whereas falling short of expectations has negative side effects, such as a falling stock price, lawsuits, and a tarnished corporate image. In fairness to Facebook, the Company warned its investment bankers of risk factors that could lower company earnings. These risk factors were also disclosed in Facebook?s S-1 filing, which many pundits used at the time to disparage the Company. Even so, the hype during its road show set an expectation level that was bound to disappoint, and it did. The opening stock price of $38 per share went down quickly and hit a low of $17.73 in the summer of 2012. Up until Thursday, it fluctuated in the low to mid-$20?s.

A very large and engaged audience

Despite the image damage from the IPO that caused the stock price to languish for most of the past year, the numbers are in Facebook?s favor. Facebook has 1.15 billion monthly active users with 819 million on mobile devices. The only places that have more people are the countries of China and India. Daily active users are up a whopping 27% to 699 million. And 469 million of them are on mobile devices ? neutralizing a previous criticism of Facebook. What?s more, the average Facebook user is very engaged ? spending 55 minutes per day on the site.

Better targeting with viral potential

Because Facebook has more information on its users than other social media, advertisers can more effectively target the audience that is most likely to buy their products. Once they do, users can (and often do) virally share information with their friends. This means that advertisers can potentially reach many more people that are already favorably inclined to buy their products because friends have recommended them. No other ad medium gives advertisers the potential to reach such a large highly-targeted and engaged audience with viral opportunities on a daily basis. Facebook?s current ability to reach well over ? billion people every day dwarfs the average viewing audience of the Super Bowl, which offers the ability to reach north of 100 million people only once per year, and for a very hefty sum of money.

Talented people with a track record of winning

In talking with people that joined Facebook after working with other tech companies, they have told me that Facebook has the smartest, most talented people with which they have ever worked. They also claim that the company has the best internal business systems they have ever seen. With its successful Q2 performance, Facebook is likely to continue to attract its fair share of the top talent from around the world.

Mark Zuckerberg and the other executives at Facebook have a track record of winning. Ask the Winklevoss twins and their Harvard classmate Divya Narendra who have lost every court battle with Facebook and its CEO. In the latest battle decided in April of 2011, a three-judge appellate court panel upheld a 2008 deal between the trio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Given the recent jump in the stock price, the Winkelvii and friend can cry all the way to the bank. If they are still unhappy, I will be happy to trade equity portfolios with them.

Boost in brand image

It appears that Facebook?s 2nd Quarter performance may have reversed the image damage caused by Facebook?s IPO debacle. Hopefully, Mr. Zukerberg has learned what many chief executives found out over the years. If you want to get the stock price up, nothing will do that better and faster than a good performance. And what works even better is good performance that beats expectations.
