NFC North Fantasy Breakdown: Post NFL Draft
Posted on May 23, 2012 by Nick Cattles
Here is a breakdown of skill players for each respective team in the NFC North after the 2012 draft to give owners an idea where each team's offense currently lies before camp…
Hopefully there's no "Madden Jinx" for Calvin Johnson this season
Jay Cutler will return for another season with the Bears, but this time he's got his binky: Brandon Marshall. With the addition of Marshall, Cutler's numbers should improve. Look for Cutler to put up impressive yardage and his share of touchdowns. But, as always, also be aware of his shaky decision making at times and a number of badly thrown interceptions.
Matt Forte is coming off of a knee injury and contract squabbles with the Bears. As of this writing, he is still Chicago bound this year and will get the boatload of carries. However, don't overlook the addition of Michael Bush. The Bears have long wanted running back duo and now replace Marion Barber with Bush. Bush could easily cut into many of Forte's red zone touches.
Chicago went from a "who knows what's next" receiving corps, to a pretty formidable group. Marshall, as mentioned above, joins his former Broncos teammate Jay Cutler. These two got along well in the Mile High City and will look to flourish once again. Earl Bennett, another Cutler "buddy", will be the number two man. That leaves Johnny Knox, second round draft pick Alshon Jeffrey and Devin Hester to fight for the third slot. Expect Hester to go back to his special teams/defensive roots.
With so much firepower at the other skill positions, don't expect a ton from tight end Kellen Davis.
Matthew Stafford finally made truth out of all those rosy projections he had faced in prior years. In 2011, Stafford was the real deal. With no running game, Stafford still put up career numbers across the board and finally stayed healthy. There's no reason to not think Stafford will again be an elite fantasy quarterback in 2012.
As has been the case for a while now, the running back position is a major question mark in Detroit. The depth chart of this position includes career threatening concussions (Jahvid Best), career threatening knee injuries (Kevin Smith), a sophomore who didn't play a single snap in last year's regular season due to a torn Achilles and Keiland Williams. This will be a competition to pay close attention to during camp and the preseason.
We know the deal with the Lions receivers. Calvin Johnson dominated the NFL last year and looks to do the same in 2012 as, once again, Detroit's go-to skill player. The only thing to be concerned about with Johnson is the Madden jinx. The rest of this group is going to be a fun competition to watch. Nate Burleson showed flashes last season, but that's been his calling card throughout his NFL career. He'll be challenged by Titus Young, if he keeps his head on straight and rookie wideout from Oklahoma, Ryan Broyles. If Broyles is healthy to begin the year, he's worth watching, as his game compliments Johnson's skill set very well.
Just because the receivers are dangerous for Detroit, doesn't mean the tight ends go without love. Because of the lack of running game from the Lions, Stafford's been forced to look at all of his options. Those options include the impressive Brandon Pettigrew and the heady veteran Tony Scheffler. Pettigrew is the more consistent, but if he goes down, Scheffler's worth the gamble.
Aaron Rodgers. You have any questions? We didn't think so.
Ryan Grant is likely gone, so James Starks will once again get his chance to be the man for the Packers out of the backfield. Starks has the talent, as he showed in the postseason two years ago. But, can he stay on the field and will he get the ball enough? Both of those are legit questions. Brandon Saine is the backup and will get some looks with the way Green Bay operates their backfield.
In the mold of the Patriots and Saints, the Packers just have a ton of options at the wide receiver position. Jordy Nelson proved that his postseason heroics of two years ago weren't a joke with some big games last season. However, if you own Nelson, be prepared for some lackluster production every once in a while (five games with single digit fantasy points in PPR leagues last season). While Greg Jennings didn't have the blockbuster year his owners were hoping for last season, he still gave you steadiness. Jennings will get his looks and be more than worthwhile on your roster. James Jones and Donald Driver are interchangeable.
Jermichael Finley had big-time expectations heading into last season. Those expectations weren't met, as Finley struggled with nagging injuries and dropped footballs. His fantasy draft stock will likely take a hit this season, but he still remains one of the most highly skilled players at his position in the NFL.
Christian Ponder might have made his NFL debut a little earlier than expected and struggled for the most part. The rookie completed only a shade over 54% of his passes and equaled his 13 touchdowns with 13 picks. Ponder is a lower-level backup this year for fantasy owners.
The production of the running back position will ride on Adrian Peterson's health. When AP is healthy, there's no doubt of his skill and fantasy value. However, after blowing out his knee at the end of last season, his health is a gigantic fantasy question. As of this writing, Peterson is working out and is confident that he'll be the starting tailback come game one of the season. Keep an eye on his progress or lack thereof. If Peterson has issues getting ready to start the year, it'll be up to Toby Gerhart to foot the bill.
The Vikings have some talent at the receiver position with Percy Harvin who absolutely poured it on later in the year with Ponder under center. The hope is that Harvin will be fully healthy in 2012 and pick up where he left off. To go along with Harvin, the Vikings are betting that they'll get one productive receiver out of the inconsistent (Michael Jenkins & Devin Aromashadu) or the talented, but troubled (Jerome Simpson).
Many people expected John Carlson to do some impressive things in Seattle, but outside of a few memorable moments, he didn't take the world by storm. Now, Carlson heads to Minnesota to replace Visanthe Shiancoe and attempt to find that spark again on a more consistent basis. If Carlson doesn't do much early on, Kyle Rudolph will get an opportunity to make a difference. Rudolph showed glimpses last season with limited looks.

Art is Big Business in Southeast
Ed Schoenfeld, CoastAlaska - Juneau
What are the arts worth to Southeast Alaska? A new economic study says painting, carving, theater, music and other creative pursuits generate at least $60 million a year in business.

"When you're looking at the saturation of artists in the region, we have nearly three times as many of the general U.S. population," says Meilani Schijvens, director of Juneau-based Rain Coast Data.
In a report prepared for the Southeast Conference, she estimates 2,340 artists live and work in the region. Many do it part-time, but their hours add up to the equivalent of 2.5 percent of workforce.
"Last year, Southeast Alaska artists earned nearly $30 million, just from the arts components of their job," she says. "And to put this in context, in terms of workforce earnings, the arts sector is nearly twice the size of the regional timber industry."
It's also about the same size as Southeast's financial sector, based on full-time equivalent jobs.
Schijvens says about one in 10 of those surveyed make their entire living in the arts. About six in 10 earn less. And some don't make any money at all.
"Thirty percent of artists in the region, while accepting money for their work, are actually losing money. So nearly a third of the artists are actually spending more in terms of investing in their artwork than they get paid for doing their art," Schijvens says.
The total regional arts revenue adds up to almost $60 million a year. That includes spending by artists, customers, organizations and audience members.
"It stimulates business activities. It generates tourism revenue. It attracts and retains a high-quality workforce here. People come here because of our arts community and arts our region has to offer. They stay here because of that. And it boosts quality of life," she says.
Schijvens says her research shows that Tlingit, Haida and other Alaska Native artists make more money. Twice as many, just under 20 percent, generate all their income from the arts.
"If you look at the average net profit for independent Native artists, it's 64 percent higher than the average net profit for all Southeast Alaska independent artists," Schijvens says.
The figures come from surveys of regional artists and organizations. Schijvens says the numbers, spending and earnings are probably larger, since she didn't reach everyone who could have responded.
The researcher hopes the data will be useful for groups seeking grants or looking for ways to collaborate.
"As a whole, we're stronger than the sum of our parts. So I hope the artists and arts organizations in the region will come together to be able to leverage more grant funding, be able to do more marketing, let people know what a treasure we have and to be able to take advantage of the larger network of art and artists that we have," she says.
The report was first presented to the Southeast Conference, an organization of business, government and other leaders promoting economic development in the region.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles About to Become the New Lions?
The winds of change continue to gust throughout Lincoln Financial Field. With the team now handing franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins and the ongoing purge of accomplished veterans, the Philadelphia Eagles are clearly transitioning away from the most successful period in team history.
Figuratively, it is like watching a historic statue being slowly chiseled to pieces and then taking a sledgehammer to it to finish off the job.
It all begs to ask the question whether the Philadelphia Eagles are about to become the NFL's new Detroit Lions?
Many have asserted that the team is in a rebuilding phase; however, that would presume the organization has the ability to construct something worthwhile out of the growing pile of rubble. Closer examination of the situation leads me to believe that this notion is highly presumptuous and probably unrealistic.
Although the trade of the best quarterback in franchise history and the outright release of one of the organization's all-time greatest running backs has drawn the most attention, the chisel has chipped away at many different places over the past few years.
Gone are many of the individuals that played leading roles in the most prosperous decade in franchise history. Furthermore, there is little evidence to suggest that viable successors have been put in place or are about to be acquired.
When stepping back away from the individual transactions to take a look at the big picture, there is ample reason to believe that the team is about to become one of the NFL's perennial doormats.
The gale force winds of change that have blustered through "The Linc" have pounded all areas of the organization. And the owner, much like that of the Detroit Lions, appears to be operating on blind faith that his top lieutenants have a plan and know what they are doing.
Additionally, this offseason's activity suggests that the team is more interested in the bottom line than winning a Super Bowl. With the minimum payroll requirement not in play due to the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, it looks like the Eagles have chosen to purge salary and forego any substantial expenditures on established free agents.
The recent contract renewal of president Joe Banner further signals a shift of power his way. Although Andy Reid frequently reminds everyone that he has full control of personnel decisions, that may be less true than ever in the past.
When former GM Tom Heckert departed in January to join the moribund Cleveland Browns organization to take on the same role, the Eagles elected to promote young Howie Roseman to fill this position. Besides his minimal experience, the fact that he does not come from a football background, but rather a legal background, signals that contracts and finances are the top priorities in the organization.
As Banner's protégé, Roseman would seem to provide the team president with the necessary tie-breaking vote in the team's three-headed monster governing body.
There have also been very substantial changes in regard to the coaching staff. Most notably, the Eagles lost one of the NFL's great defensive coordinators prior to last season with the passing of Jim Johnson. Youthful Sean McDermott performed reasonably well stepping into those very large shoes, but is it even realistic to expect that he will approach the mastery of his predecessor?
Surely, Johnson was a huge component of the team's success in the Andy Reid era. He was considered a pioneer by many throughout the league that is rarely replaced. Although I would hate to tag McDermott at this point, I can't help but think of Bill Walsh and George Seifert.
On the other side of the ball, Marty Mornhinweg took over as offensive coordinator prior to the 2006 season. Despite his man crush on Brett Favre, predecessor Brad Childress certainly seems to be a notch or three above Mornhinweg. Other notable losses over the past few years include John Harbaugh and Steve Spagnuolo.
And, last but not least, the team is about to turn over the last of the key contributors in this era on the field. Brian Dawkins, Jon Runyan, Tra Thomas, Brian Westbrook, Shawn Andrews, Sheldon Brown and now Donovan McNabb have all exited.
Even casual followers of the team know that these players formed the core foundation of the Eagles success. Those closer to the team also know that this is pretty much (sans one) the team's "who's who" list of leaders in the locker room and in the heat of competition.
In their place, the Eagles have brought in players such as Michael Vick, Asante Samuel, Jason Peters, and Stacy Andrews— none of which seem to be the type of personalities or role models to emerge as leaders on a winning football team.
The Eagles overcame adversity in 2009 to find themselves sitting atop the NFC Eastern division with an 11-4 record before their infamous collapse in Dallas in successive weeks. The crash ending seemed to highlight some clear weaknesses that the team needed to address in order to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Instead—Reid, Banner, and Roseman have elected to dismantle the squad by dumping veteran salaries. What appeared to be a team with a few holes that could be addressed with a free-agent signing and a solid draft, is shaping up to be a bottom feeder in the NFL.
Many have looked on in wonderment as team management has banged away on the chisels hoping that there is a grand master plan. Every day that passes further erodes my confidence that there are any blueprints that will win anything other than great financial returns.
At the top, decision-making is being led by two non-football guys and the same coach that comes under heavy criticism for his strategic approaches, game planning, in game management, and lack of transparency. Is it reasonable to assume that he is otherwise a genius as a part-time general manager/personnel director?
Or, is it more likely that the club's success in his tenure has been the collective work of a talented core in the personnel department, coaching staff, and on the field?
It is my belief that it is the latter. This situation is further compounded by the somewhat subtle shift towards placing a premium on managing the purse strings.
A realistic assessment of the Eagles' roster, especially with McNabb traded, shows the team is seriously devoid of star power and leadership.
DeSean Jackson will be the biggest name remaining on the offense, but seems much more likely to become a diva than a team leader. Also, the longevity of the output of a slightly built wide receiver who needs to make his living on short slants across the middle without a quarterback capable of throwing the deep ball is in question.
Asante Samuel is the most prominent name on defense, but is pretty much a one-dimensional ball hawk cornerback. Players such as Stewart Bradley, Brent Celek, Jeremy Maclin, and Trent Cole are promising.
All in all, what is left after the purge would seem to less resemble the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Cowboys— and be a closer match to the Detroit Lions. Slowly, but surely, the difference makers are disappearing.
From this vantage point, it appears that there will be little NFL excitement in Philadelphia for some time to come. And, unfortunately, that is really saying something coming from someone who has always taken a "glass half full" perspective on Philly sports teams.
This is enormously frustrating considering the wasted potential over the past 10 years and now fans are looking at going back to square one. Whether it was limiting the team by steadfastly refusing to improve the NFL's worst receiving corps or make any adjustments in approach, it seems that it all could have turned out much differently.
So—who's the top player projected for the 2011 draft?

Extreme E names Race and Sporting Directors as their inaugural 2021 season approaches.
PULSAKI, PA (Pittsburgh Racing Now) – The RUSH Late Model Series is bringing back and enhancing their 'Track Pack' program for 2021.
The 'Track Pack' program debuted in 2016 and continued through the 2019 season before the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the program in 2020. Each of those four years, $800 was split amongst the top five RUSH members with $300 to the champion at each RUSH weekly-sanctioned track.
In 2021 RUSH Late Model weekly-sanctioned tracks top-six will share in $2,500! RUSH weekly member racers will accumulate points at each event and at the end of the year the top six in member points will split $2,500 with $1000 going to the champion followed by $500, $400, $300, $200, $100 for positions 2-through-6. These monies will be awarded over and above any other championship monies drivers will receive.
"We've always known the strength of RUSH lays within our weekly tracks and the racers who support them," said RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "During the pandemic, the average car counts at our weekly tracks were very impressive as most all tracks increased. In the past the 'Summer Chase' gave just 10 racers additional monies, but we feel by taking that money and adding another approximate $14,000 to the 'Track Pack' we can allow substantially more racers the ability to take home additional weekly monies at the end of the year."
Prior to COVID-19 RUSH had announced the Touring Series Championship point fund would double to $35,500 with a record $12,000 going to the champion! This will now take place in 2021. The Touring Series schedule continues to come together and is expected to be similar to 2020's before the pandemic.
The 2021 season is expected to be the richest in RUSH Racing Series history, which includes the RUSH Late Models, Sprint Cars, Sportsman Modifieds and Pro Mods, with additional programs and events planned throughout.

Jurado's four-hitter stifles south s.f.
By Richard Motroni and William Love Correspondent |
PUBLISHED: June 16, 2007 at 3:41 a.m. | UPDATED: August 17, 2016 at 6:11 a.m.
MILLBRAE — The baseball field at Mills High should be familiar to Millbrae-Burlingame pitcher Nik Jurado. After all, he graduated from the school just a few weeks ago.
So, it came to no one's surprise that Jurado would use the Mills field to his advantage in Friday's Peninsula Joe DiMaggio game against South San Francisco.
In a 6-1 victory that improved Millbrae-Burlingame's record to 5-1, Jurado tossed a four-hitter with eight strikeouts and one walk.
Along with playing on familiar ground, several of Jurado's teammates on the squad played at Mills High, among them catcher Tony Loeffler.
Obviously, having someone behind the plate that you had known well before high school can make a big difference.
"We've been playing since we've been little, so it's easier with him behind the plate, more comfortable," said Jurado who plans to enroll at Skyline College in the fall. "He knows me and knows what kinds of pitches I'd be throwing."
Opposing teams in the past probably had an idea of what pitches Jurado would throw. The problem is when a pitcher makes his curve ball break just right and has good location of his fastball as Jurado did on Friday, it becomes hard to hit.
Even so, South San Francisco (2-6) almost had Jurado figured out in the top of the fourth inning. Ryan Fender slapped a two-out double down the right-field line, then Mark Kosta singled to left.
Fender went for home on Kosta's hit, where he collided with Loeffler and appeared safe. However, because Fender did not attempt to slide (warranted by league rules), he was ruled out and the run disallowed.
"That (collision at the plate) was a big part of the game, because we came out a little flat and that fired us up," Jurado said.
Jurado helped break a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth as he drew a bases-loaded walk. On the next pitch, No.9 batter Danny March belted a two-run double into deep center for a 3-0 lead.
Millbrae-Burlingame added three more the following inning that included a Sebastian Camard RBI double to center. Camard, March, Andrew Ebert and Alex Butte all had two hits.
Elsewhere, Daly City improved to 4-4 with a 7-5 win over Pacifica. Anthony Madrano hit a three-run triple, and Jonathan Gangale belted two-run home run. Brian Powers had a solo home run for Pacifica, which falls to 2-4.
The San Mateo-San Bruno game originally scheduled to be held at San Bruno Park has been postponed and will be replayed on a date to be determined.

MERC Approves 16 MW Solar Project in Amaravati
The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Authority (MERC) was hearing of a petition filed by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MSPGCL) regarding the approval of tariff for the 150 MW solar project that was auctioned under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY).
In its order after reviewing of the petition, the commission approved the proposed 16 MW solar PV power project at Gavankund in the Amaravati district of the state. The 16 MW solar project will be the pilot project for evacuation at 33 kV.
MSPGCL conducted competitive bidding under Phase-I of MSKVY scheme for 200 MW of solar projects. The power utility then sought the commission approval for the draft power purchase agreement (PPA), power sale agreement (PSA) at a tariff of Rs 3.15/kWh for a period of 25 years.
After the commission dismissed the rates discovered, MSPGCL renegotiated the rates with the lowest successful bidder. MSEDCL accepted the negotiated rate and approached the commission seeking its approval of the PSA with MSPGCL and the adoption of a tariff of Rs 3.072/kWh for the evacuation of power at 11 kV level and Rs3.05/kWh for the evacuation of power at 33 kV level for 25 years.
Later, when the MERC asked for details about the negotiations, MSPGCL and MSEDCL could not provide them on time leading to the commission not approving the PSA and PPA. After it non-approval, MSEDCL and MSPGCL filed this review petition.
The commission noted that both MSEDCL and MSPGCL have filed clarifications for the issues highlighted by the commission in the impugned order. Although the clarifications seem to justify the position taken by MSPGCL on various processes adopted during the tender renegotiation, however, the commission denied accepting the petition stating that a change in tender conditions after the bidding process had been completed was unacceptable.
The commission did not find any merit in the review petition but provided the approval to the proposed 16 MW project at Gavankund, as a pilot project for the evacuation at 33 kV level. The commission also found the tariff to be competitive. For the remaining 134 MW, the commission has asked MSPGCL to initiate a fresh bidding process.

OnePlus 10T is coming soon with impressive specifications
Previous rumors were suggesting that OnePlus fully enter the "Ultra" trend with the OnePlus 10 Ultra. However, it seems that the company will not join Samsung, Xiaomi, and Motorola in this growing trend. Apparently, OnePlus is sticking with its traditions and will launch a OnePlus 10T later this year. Last year, we hadn't a OnePlus 9T with improved specs, just a OnePlus 9RT. This year, we just have a OnePlus 10 Pro and a 10R. Despite the lack of a Vanilla smartphone, the T-series will be back with the OnePlus 10T. The device will pack a stronger chipset inside, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. That's right, unlike previous rumors suggesting a MediaTek chip, it will have Qualcomm's newer flagship SoC.
OnePlus 10T alleged specifications
As per the reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming OnePlus 10T will pack a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Interestingly, this panel is present on the OnePlus 10R and OnePlus Ace. The phone will have a punch-hole at the top center that will serve as a home for a 16 MP selfie snapper. Moving around to the back, the phone will pack a triple-camera setup. However, it's not a really impressive setup with advanced telephoto or periscope shooters. Instead, it will have a primary 50 MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a 1/1.5″ sensor. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide shooter and a 2 MP depth snapper.
The phone will also bring some of the impressive specs brought by the OnePlus 10R, Ace, and also Realme GT Neo 3. Apparently, the handset will support 150 W charging. It will charge a 4,800 mAh battery which already indicates that OnePlus managed to pair this impressive charging with a battery bigger than 4,500 mAh.
Of course, you'll need to digest this news with a pinch or two of salt. After all, there are still several months to come before the release of the OnePlus 10T. If the company decides to stick with its traditional formula, then we'll see a release towards October. The device already had renders revealed confirming a design language that resembles the 10 Pro.

How to avoid another Russian-troll misinformation nightmare in 2020
AP Photo/Jon Elswick
Russian trolls and online bots work in insidious ways.
By Josephine Lukito
Doctoral candidate, School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
Published December 13, 2019 Last updated on January 20, 2020 This article is more than 2 years old.
We typically think of social media platforms—Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.—as distinct from one another.
We tend to visit each one at a time, after all. Still, messages from one platform often reappear on others. And, if you're trying to get attention on multiple social media platforms, chances are you'll coordinate different messages, or link your profiles on different accounts, to create a consistent and identifiable "brand."
This is true for most users. But it's also true for the trolls and bots that drive disinformation campaigns.
This phenomenon helps explain what happened when the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) targeted US social media during and after the 2016 US presidential election. During that process, Russia's troll army was—and likely still is—active on multiple platforms, including those three mentioned above.
Time-series analysis, Russian troll edition
According to a study I published this year from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, these Russian trolls are more coordinated than we thought when the news first broke.
My research led to two important findings:
First, from 2015 to 2017, the Russian IRA posted many English-language tweets (nearly 1.9 million).
This may be because Twitter is a popular space for journalists and political actors to glean information, which provides an opportunity to amplify disinformation. The IRA also posted often on Reddit (about 12,600 comments and posts) and paid for many Facebook ads (more than 3,000).
Second, using a statistical technique called time-series analysis, the study shows that Reddit activity preceded Twitter activity. In other words, when Russian trolls posted a lot on Reddit, Russian trolls on Twitter were likely to tweet more the following week.
One explanation is that Russian IRA trolls used Reddit to test-drive their messages. Subreddits, the topically-focused Reddit communities, make it easy to find and talk to politically like-minded individuals, and therefore provide ideal testing grounds for disinformation.
When a message was successful on Reddit, the trolls would then post a similar (or even the very same) message on Twitter.
For example, on June 2, 2016, the Russian Reddit troll account "Maxwel_Terry" published a link entitled: "If Hillary is nominated I'm voting against any Democrat who supported her" to the subreddit "/r/HillaryClintonSucks." The link directed readers to a Left-leaning blogger who stated, as you may have guessed, that he would not be voting for Clinton.
Three days later, the same link was tweeted by the IRA Twitter account @MissouriNewsUs with the same message, with the inclusion of the hash tag "#NeverHillary." (The account, like many other known troll accounts, and therefore the messages I'm referencing, are unavailable because they have been suspended.)
Though my study focuses on Facebook advertising as a vehicle for disinformation, a more in-depth look at the evidence reveals that we need to understand the complex relationships between non-paid Russian disinformation on Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook to make sense of it all.
In another example, one Reddit troll account posted a Facebook event on the subreddit /r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut with the caption, "Join the protest against police brutality. April 21 Student Day of Action to #StopPoliceTerror."
It was posted to Twitter four days later by the Russian troll account @dontshootcom along with the hashtag "#stoppoliceterror."
The Wayback Machine Archive/Courtesy of Josephine Lukito
This Facebook event was shared by Russian troll Twitter and Reddit accounts.
The event was planned by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. The organization does not appear to be connected to the IRA operation, and likely did not even realize Russian trolls were among its followers.
This pattern was also noticeable among Russian IRA accounts that were explicitly related (e.g., a fake organization with multiple social media accounts). One pertinent example of this is the Twitter account of someone who claimed to be named Jena Abrams, who also maintained a blog pretending to be a young, conservative American woman.
Another example is @BlackToLive. Under this account name, Russian IRA trolls created profiles on Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Medium, and Youtube (there is an Instagram account that uses the handle, but it's unclear whether this account is connected to the Russian IRA). The Twitter account also promoted an active email address, BlackToLive@gmail.com.
The user also cross-promoted its (now-defunct) website, blacktolive.org, on both Reddit and Twitter.
Screenshot of the blacktolive.org "About us" page.
Posts from this user were often shared within a few days of each other. First, BlackToLive would post content from its own website on different subreddits, including /r/uspolitics, /r/politics, /r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut, and /r/HillaryClinton. Then four days later, the account posted the content on Twitter.
Looking ahead to 2020
But what does this research from 2016 mean for us now?
With the 2020 presidential election underway, it is likely that the IRA will target US social media, if they are not already active.
We need to take what we learned from past years to make smarter decisions for our next election. And we can create new communication norms that encourage fruitful online political discourse and discourage troll-ish behavior.
For one, social media organizations need to be more transparent about their process for dealing with incorrect information, especially when it comes to state-sponsored troll accounts. Twitter, for example, regularly releases tweets from state-sponsored information actors; but there is little public knowledge about how these accounts are verified.
Though Facebook has made efforts to be forthcoming about its advertising data, its organic content is far harder to study and therefore harder to authenticate.
Perhaps if we openly recognize that political disinformation cannot be completely eradicated from social media, we can find a better way to measure and account for it.


Scientists across the globe witnessed an enigmatic cosmic occurrence that they have tried to fathom for decades when images of exotic astronomical objects black hole event horizon were clicked for the first time. This proved the century old Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, an important tool in understanding the universe, informs a release.
About 200 scientists, astronomers, observationalists, theorists from over 40 countries came together for the project, called the Event Horizon Project (EHT), as eight telescopes from different locations combined to create a virtual telescope as large as the earth, using a technique called interferometry.
The images released on Wednesday showed a bright ring at the centre of galaxy M87, which has been formed by the superheated gases falling into the black hole. The fact that black holes do not allow light to escape makes viewing them difficult. The scientists looked for a ring of light - super-heated disrupted matter and radiation circling at tremendous speed at the edge of the event horizon - around a region of darkness representing the actual black hole. This is known as the black hole's shadow or silhouette.
The M87 black hole observed by the scientific team resides about 54 million light-years from Earth and boasts an almost-unimaginable mass of 6.5 billion times that of the sun. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km), adds the report.
