Mordercai Dov, Etel, and their six children. The three oldest siblings survived. In the back row from the left is Hershe (Carl's Father), Joseph Meir (Nissim's Father) and Hana.
Only some of Carl Gross's family were able to avoid annihilation at the hands of the Nazis. Before the war began, Carl's family was living separately. His grandparents, Mordecai Dov and Etel, were living in a Lithuanian shtetl known as Abel. They resided in a modest, religious home with the three youngest of their six children. The older three had already left Lithuania to emigrate to the Americas. Carl's father Harry, the second son, lived in Brooklyn, New York with his Uncle Joe and then moved to Freehold, New Jersey around 1938.
Mordecai Dov, Carl's grandfather, died in 1928 in a small hospital in Panevitz. He was there delivering hay when he fell off of his wagon and broke his neck. Having lost her husband, Etel was left alone in Lithuania with her three youngest children.
In 1941, the slaughter began. Abel had a small Jewish community of over 600 people. With the help of non-Jewish townspeople, the Nazis rounded all of Abel's Jews together. They were marched six kilometers to a hill in the woods where they were demanded to dig their own grave. Then were then forced to strip and all the Jews were shot and killed, including Etel and her three children.
Thankfully, the two sons and one daughter in America were safe and could continue to remember the family and the tragedy in Abel. Carl's father Harry married Ruth and had two children. Carl visited Abel five times over the years. His first trip was with his parents in 1980. Carl later returned with Rabbi Mayer Abramowitz for the dedication of the restoration of the cemetery.
In the back row are, from left to right: Mary Gross (wife of Carl Gross), David Gross (son of Ruth Gross), Michael Prashad (son of David Gross), Carl Gross (son of Ruth Gross), Zachary Gross (son of Carl & Mary). In the front, from left to right: Helena Martone (mother of Mary Gross), seated on scooter – Ruth Gross (matriarch of the Gross family – mother of David and Carl). The occasion was the graduation of Zachary Gross from Suffolk Law School, May 2013.
He again returned with his cousin Nissim Greisas, whose father had also survived, and another trip which included Carl's brother David and Wife Marina. On his most recent trip about four years ago with his wife Mary and son Zac, they visited the Jewish cemetery. Carl was shocked by the state of disrepair at the memorial site and the desecration of the mass grave.
Carl believes that the Holocaust and the slaughter of Jewish families like his own are bound to happen again. He says that intolerance for Jews will always exist and that we should be mindful of this. Through his experience, Carl has concluded that something like the Holocaust could definitely happen again and we must never forget.

Washington football fan Rodney Johnson of Chesapeake, Virginia sits in his truck outside FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on July 13, 2020. Washington's NFL team will no longer use any Indigenous imagery, and its new name will be revealed next year.
Cleveland becomes the Guardians as Native sports images recede
Washington's NFL team is dropping all Indigenous imagery from its branding and in MLB Cleveland has settled on Guardians as its new name. Many other franchises are also feeling the pressure to change, while others continue to defend their Native imagery.
By Stephen Whyno and Tom Withers Associated Press
Washington will not have any kind of Native American imagery as part of its next name, and the subject is still evolving across sports in the year since the storied NFL franchise dropped arguably the most polarizing moniker left in the pros.
Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary since Washington dropped the name Redskins and the accompanying Indian head logo after 87 years amid pressure from sponsors and decades of criticism that both are offensive to Native Americans. The Washington Football Team will be around for one more season, with a new name set to be revealed in early 2022.
With the Atlanta Braves, the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, and the NCAA's Florida State Seminoles holding onto theirs for now, and bears watching as the possibilities get narrowed down, Washington's process is the furthest along.
"The Washington Football Team's announcement that they will not be using Native American imagery is a major step towards reconciliation, justice, and equality, but there's still more work to be done," said Crystal Echo Hawk, founder and executive director of Native American-led nonprofit IllumiNative. "This is a step in the right direction, we ask that the NFL, MLB, and NHL urge the Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Braves, and Chicago Blackhawks to follow Washington Football Team president Jason Wright's lead in order to stand on the right side of history."
Mr. Wright, who was named Washington's team president in August, ruled out Warriors in a lengthy post on the team's website Monday, saying feedback from Native American communities showed "deep-seated discomfort" about that name.
"Failing to acknowledge our past use of Native imagery in the consideration of the new name wouldn't be mindful of the individuals and communities that were hurt by the previous name," Mr. Wright said. "We will choose an identity that unequivocally departs from any use of or approximate linkage to Native American imagery."
Mr. Wright said Washington is "down to a short list" of names. After several months of chatter about "R" options such as Redwolves, Redtails/Red Tails, or Redhawks, it's possible "Red" is taken out of the equation entirely.
That would distance Washington from the old name more than changes at the college level in the 1990s: St. John's going from Redmen to Red Storm and Miami of Ohio dropping Redskins to become the RedHawks.
Mr. Wright said team officials are "confident that our new brand identity will honor our legacy and lead us into our future as a franchise."
As the latest reckoning over racial injustice, iconography, and racism continues in the United States, Washington is far from the only franchise considering a change, while others defend the status quo.
Known as the Indians since 1915, Cleveland's Major League Baseball team will be called Guardians. The choice of Cleveland's Guardians will undoubtedly be criticized by many of the club's die-hard fans.
The organization spent most of the past year whittling down a list of potential names that was at nearly 1,200 just over a month ago. But the process quickly accelerated and the club landed on Guardians.
Team owner Paul Dolan said last summer's social unrest, touched off by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, spurred his intention to change the ballclub's name.
In 2018, the Indians stopped wearing the contentious Chief Wahoo logo on their jerseys and caps. However, the team continues to sell merchandise bearing the smiling, red-faced caricature that was protested for decades by Native American groups.
Protests have followed the Chiefs on two Super Bowl trips, and last fall they barred headdresses and war paint for fans at Arrowhead Stadium. They're still facing calls to abandon a tradition of fans breaking into a "war chant" while making a chopping hand motion designed to mimic the Native American tomahawk – which is not unique to Kansas City.
A coalition of Native American groups put up billboards in the Kansas City area to protest the tomahawk chop and Chiefs' name.
North of the border, Edmonton of the Canadian Football League reversed course last summer by dropping the name Eskimos in the aftermath of Washington's decision, temporarily becoming the EE Football Team. On June 1, Elks was announced as Edmonton's new name.
Cleveland and Atlanta appear to be at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Cleveland announced in December it was dropping Indians and, like Washington, was vetting a final list of possibilities. The ballclub announced the name change Friday with a video on Twitter narrated by actor Tom Hanks, ending months of internal discussions triggered by a national reckoning by institutions and teams to permanently drop logos and names considered racist.
The Braves have resisted calls for a name change. The team has not wavered from a firm statement in a letter to season-ticket holders in 2020 that said: "We will always be the Atlanta Braves."
Even the "tomahawk chop" has returned along with fans this season after a Cardinals pitcher said during the 2019 playoffs that it was disrespectful, and the team stopped encouraging the chant. The death of Hall of Famer Hank Aaron in January led some fans to propose a switch to Atlanta Hammers to honor "Hammerin' Hank."
The Chicago Blackhawks have shown no signs of considering a name change any time soon, with the club contending it honors Black Hawk, a Native American leader from Illinois' Sac & Fox Nation. CEO Danny Wirtz said in December that the Blackhawks "continue to deepen our commitment to upholding our namesake and our brand."
Like the Chiefs, the Blackhawks banned headdresses at home games as part of their pledge to honor the Native American community, with which the team has tried to strengthen ties over the past year.
After Miami of Ohio, St. John's, Syracuse, North Dakota, and others made changes, a handful of U.S. colleges and universities maintained Native American nicknames for sports teams and received waivers from the NCAA because of support from local tribes.
Those include the Florida State Seminoles, Utah Utes, and Central Michigan Chippewas.
Illinois retired the Chief Illiniwek mascot in 2007 but has kept the Fighting Illini name.
The National Congress of American Indians reports 29 schools in the U.S. have moved away from a Native American name or imagery so far in 2021. It's not clear how many more changes happened in the immediate aftermath of Washington's decision from July 13-Dec. 31, 2020.
The NCAI's National School Mascot Tracking Database lists 1,890 schools with Native American mascots.
"True respect for Native people and other people of color requires our country to rid itself of the symbols of racism and intolerance that have far too long been embedded in popular culture and which have marginalized and dehumanized us," NCAI president Fawn Sharp said. "NCAI will not rest until all offensive Native-themed mascots and associated imagery are removed from popular culture."
This story was reported by The Associated Press. Tom Withers reported from Cleveland. AP sports writers Charles Odum, and Jay Cohen contributed to this report.

Q: Why does rowSums work for some variables and doesn't vork for others? I am using the following lines of code for creating a new variable from other variables:
FER_TMS_nopractice_recoded_replaced %>% select(FACE.RT, SCRAM1.RT_total, SCRAM2.RT_total, SCRAM3.RT_total,
                             SCRAM4.RT_total, SCRAM5.RT_total, SCRAM6.RT_total, SCRAM7.RT_total, SCRAM8.RT_total,
                             SCRAM9.RT_total, SCRAM10.RT_total, SCRAM11.RT_total, SCRAM12.RT_total, RESPOND.RT_total,
                             WHITE4.RT_total) %>% rowSums(na.rm = TRUE) -> FER_TMS_nopractice_recoded_replaced$RT_TOTAL

The problem is that while it works fine for some columns, for others I get the following error:
Error in FACE.RESP + RESPOND.RESP :
  non-numeric argument to binary operator
All the columns/variables contain NA values and I do not understand why the code executes for some and not other variables. Any suggestions for a fix?

    NA_integer_, NA_integer_)), row.names = c(NA, 3L), class = "data.frame")

A: Based on the dput output, two of the columns are not numeric i.e. FACE.RT and RESPOND.RESP.  We can convert them to numeric with mutate_at and now the code would work
FER_TMS_nopractice_recoded_replaced <- FER_TMS_nopractice_recoded_replaced  %>%
                          mutate_at(vars(FACE.RT, RESPOND.RESP), as.numeric)

Justin Watson has been a "pleasant surprise" for Patrick Mahomes
Posted by Charean Williams on May 30, 2022, 6:58 PM EDT
Justin Watson's signing with the Chiefs was under the radar when he agreed to a one-year, $1.035 million deal Feb. 4. But that was before the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins.
Watson will get a chance to earn playing time with the Chiefs, something he didn't see much of in Tampa. He played only 19 special teams snaps, and none on offense, last season as he spent most of the season working his way back from a knee injury.
In five seasons with the Bucs, Watson made 23 catches for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He has 461 career snaps on offense and 666 on special teams in his career.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though, has hit it off with Watson.
"He's been a pleasant surprise for me," Mahomes said, via Nate Taylor of TheAthletic.com. "That dude can roll. He came down to Texas. I threw with him the first day, and I called (General Manager Brett) Veach and I was like, 'Wait, how fast is this guy?' He was running so fast that I was late on my throws."
The Bucs activated Watson from the physically unable to perform list in late December, and he's showing the Chiefs that he's fully healthy now.

Guys a beast on special teams.
mackcarrington says:
The people in charge down in Tampa have some explanations to make if this guy becomes a star after being on their bench for 5 years.
nobull says:
Watson is super fast has made some big catches but the Bucs have had unreal talent and depth at WR. I would not be surprised if Watson has a breakthrough season in KC
logicalone says:
Hope he does well after the Bucs didn't see much value in him.

Neuros gets FDA approval begin electrical nerve block technology study
1 December 2011	(Last Updated December 1st, 2011 03:30)
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Neuros Medical investigational device exemption approval to initiate a pilot clinical trial to investigate its patented high-frequency electrical nerve-block technology, designed for the acute treatment of pain in the residual limbs of amputees.
The technology will eliminate chronic pain in a number of applications, such as amputation pain, chronic post-surgical pain, chronic migraine and trigeminal neuralgia.
The approval is supported by the first-in-man feasibility study, in which four out of five patients reported improvements in pain, reducing pain scores to zero.
Neuros Medical president and CEO Jon Snyder said the company will further commence the pilot study to provide long term safety and efficacy data of electrical nerve block technology in a larger set of patients.

Those of you who know me know that I am not a fan of politics. This is mainly because of two reasons: 1) Politics is full of bitter arguing and personal, ad hominem attacks. 2) Our largely bipartisan system does not adequately represent my opinions or values. I cannot vote for a candidate who does because in order to be elected he must receive funding from the Party who must first be assured of his Partisan support and neither major party fully represents my values.
However, it is our duty to be active in politics and exercise our right to vote to bring about the common good not just for our nation or state, but for all people around the world. So, in spirit of the coming elections (just 2 weeks away), I thought I would write a post on economic issues, which are the focus of these midterm elections.
It is well known that Democrats favor government intervention and Republicans don't. Catholic Social Teaching tells us to adhere to the principle of subsidiarity, which says that larger institutions should only operate in the areas where smaller institutions are unable or unwilling. (The federal government should only take care of what states can't, which should only take care of what counties, cities, and families cannot).
Democrats generally feel that lower institutions don't do their job, the federal government can, and so the federal government should. Republicans feel that the federal government is very inefficient at best and only messes things up for the more efficient individuals and smaller governments. Neither view here is necessarily inconsistent with the principle of subsidiarity.
In the economy, Democrats see the probability of widespread market failure or the failure of capitalism to bring about the optimal social good because markets are imperfect and externalities are more pervasive. They believe unemployment and income inequality to be the worst economic evils. They see the possibility of improvement using government policy to cure these problems. They also see taxes as having smaller deadweight losses.
Republicans believe the government only makes things worse. Markets, in general, work well at allocating efficiently, and governments only distort the process. They see minor externalities and market failures that some government may help, but not cure. Republicans generally believe that unemployment isn't good, but is a part of capitalism. If the government stays out, the economy will soon get back to full employment. Income inequality is more a result of hard work and ingenuity and is a necessary part of capitalism, not an evil. They are more concerned with the ill effects of taxes, government deficits, and inflation.
In economics theories, Democrats are more in-line with Keynes, and Republicans are more in-line with New-Classical approaches. Though, there is a lot of wiggle room here.
Recently, Republicans and Democrats together attempted to save the economy in Bush's Stimulus Bill of 2008. Obama and the Democrats then furthered this stimulus with a much larger one in 2009 which the Republicans ferociously opposed. Republicans continuously state that the stimulus was unsuccessful and are very concerned with the growing deficit. Left economists argue it wasn't nearly enough and that government stimulus wasn't even really tried. Republicans, in general, weren't concerned with growing spending and deficits while Bush was in office, but are now that Obama and the Democrats are running the show.
Evidence has shown that spending didn't increase at a greater rate than it was already increasing before the recession. The increase in deficits is due mainly to a drop in tax revenue because of lower output and incomes. Monetary policy hasn't been able to do much because the interest rate is as low as it can go.
Looking ahead, we are facing growing and historically large deficits in the midst of high unemployment, threatening deflation, and extremely limited monetary policy effectiveness.
Republicans will almost certainly regain control of Congress and will move toward austerity by decreasing spending. This will certainly retract the economy and could cause higher unemployment, but their hope is that by reducing the deficit, businesses will re-enter the market by increasing their spending again. If they don't, then incomes will decline again, causing government revenues to decline which perpetuates the problem of the deficits, and this process will continue for a long time unless businesses pick up spending. If they also lower taxes and businesses and/or households don't spend it, then this will only exacerbate the problem.
Democrats have mostly conceded that their stimulus failed and see the need to decrease the deficits, but have not really offered an alternative to the Republicans. They are more likely to raise taxes in order to achieve lower deficits than they are to decrease spending.
So who do you vote for? That is not an easy answer. For one, you cannot consider economic policies alone, the common good must be considered as a whole. For two, it may not matter in the realm of economics, because it appears that we are headed for austerity either way. It will be interesting to see the outcome.
In the meantime, it is very important to continue to strive for the common good by first and foremost preaching the Gospel at all times. St. Luke reminds us that our material goods are merely means to a greater end and are potentially a great distraction from this end. No matter our income or material condition, we can always live as faithful disciples. We can and must strive for the material welfare of the common good through charity and political participation, but our priority and focus must always be on the spiritual welfare of the common good.

Our experiences with mobile VR games being ported to more expensive headsets has not been a big success so far. End Space was originally designed for the Samsung Gear VR but it's now available on PlayStation VR as well. Thankfully, some improvements have been made. It is a fun experience to blast through space and shoot enemies from the cockpit of your spaceship. For the price of $19.99, it certainly deserves a second look.
It doesn't happen all that often a mobile VR game port turns out to be pretty engaging on a different system. In most cases, developers do not use the additional processing power at their disposal. End Space proves this can be done differently, as the PlayStation VR version is quite fun overall. It has plenty of different missions, great controls, and lets you cruise through space while getting rid of enemies. We were enjoying the game from the first minute until the very end. A rare treat, to say the least.
Owners of the Samsung Gear VR may be familiar with End Space already. It is a fun space shooter game which can be controlled with the DS4 when playing it through PlayStation VR. Users can complete every aspect of their ship, which is a nice change of pace. To shoot enemies, you simply look in their direction, which means it is pretty easy to pick up. Although you are mainly stuck with your original weapons throughout the game, they have infinite ammo. However, beware of overheating issues as well.
Although End Space is not the best looking PS VR game to date, it is easy on the eyes. Some additional movement around you in space would be appreciated as well. There is hardly any stationary asteroid to be found in space, yet in End Space, they can be found virtually everywhere. It is nothing overly bothersome, but it feels like the developers could have put in more effort in this regard. All audio is on point in this game, which makes for a pretty immersive experience overall.
The bread and butter of End Space is the combat, which is done extremely well. With different missions and stages to complete, there is plenty of content to go through. That doesn't mean the game lasts long, though, as we finished it in about two and a half hours. You can take your time wearing enemies down, as their targeting locks are incapable of finding you on the radar it seems. Weapons and missiles can be upgraded along the way, and they may require some grinding to complete said upgrades. All things considered, a more than decent port which is well worth checking out.
End Space is a Samsung Gear VR port made available for PlayStation VR owners. It is a great space shooter, even though some people may feel $19.99 is slightly overpriced.

A few months ago I caved in and bought Getting Things Done. Although I didn't get it read, I did get as far as the bit about To Do lists, and closing mental loops: you keep thinking the same thing over and over again, until you either do it or write it down. So I started a master to do list and that seems to sort of help by getting all the stuff I have to do out of my head and on to paper.
But I'm still left at the end of each day wondering what I have accomplished. I reach a point, around 7 or 8pm… or 10 or 11pm, when I think that it's about time I gave up for the evening, yet I rarely feel that my day is done, that I'm finished. There's always more to do. The list just gets longer, never shorter.
Now, for some clients, I have to keep a record of my hours. I've been doing this in an Excel spreadsheet, because it's easy to add things up in Excel. What's not so easy, though, is jotting things down. I tried keeping multiple spreadsheets, with each project on a different sheet, but it didn't work. I'd get confused as to exactly how much time I'd spent on different things – the only reason Excel worked for my client is because I was working on-site, so I knew the time I arrived, the time I left, and what breaks I'd had, so therefore I knew how much time to bill them for. When I am sitting at home with blog posts to write, email to answer and all the other bits and bobs that I need to do, it was harder to separate out how much time I spent doing what.
I bought a desk diary. Yup, that's write, a book made of paper with dates printed on each page. I can jot things down in it. It's great! Who'd've thought?
So I now have my three-pronged approach.
1. My master to-do list allows me to clear out my brain as much as possible, and hopefully helps me to remember to do stuff.
2. My '45 mins' rule – that I work solidly for 45 mins, then make myself have a break (often turns into 50 or 55, but the idea is to get up and move about at least once an hour).
3. My diary in which I write down how many hours I have worked on which project.
What this undeniably does is tell me where my time has gone. For example, yesterday I spent 4.5 hours replying to Open Rights Group email. I went through my inbox, replying only to ORG emails, and after 4.5 hours I had had enough. I hadn't finished, but I had done about as much of that as I can cope with in one day.
I had never realised that I was spending so much time on email. Previously, I would have felt like that was a day wasted, that I'd achieved nothing. After all, no documents prepared, no campaigning done, no client meetings, nothing that you can pick up and show and say 'This is what I did'.
I think knowing what you've done is a key part of battling procrastination. You put off doing things that are big, because you think "I need a clear 5 hour to do that", or you interrupt yourself with email when working on something else, or you sit there answering endless streams of emails and wondering where the time has gone. Knowing what you've done, and how long it's taken, puts a shape on your day. You can say "I've done one hour of my five hour task", or "I've spent 4.5 hours answering emails", and suddenly it doesn't seem so much as if you've wasted your time. You realise that some of that stuff that felt like procrastination was, in fact, work.
The other thing it lets me do is say "OK, I'm gonna have one hour a day of 'Suw' time, where I blog, or work on my site, or do whatever the hell I need to do". The thing about being a freelance is that admin and finding new clients may not be 'billable' time, but it's still stuff that needs to be done. Yet it's infinitely easy to put off. When you have a client who needs something, or you have a deadline, your own admin is the first thing to be put on the back burner.
I can't count the number of times that I've spoken to other freelances and heard them say "Oh, I really need to update my website, but I just can't find the time!". But if you don't make the time, you end up falling into that feast/famine cycle, where you spend your feast times working like a dog on your client's stuff, only to discover when that contract ends that you have nothing to take its place and that famine is on the horizon. You just have to recognise that the tedious admin you don't want to do is still work, and you still have to find time to do it during the working day.
The other thing I'm trying hard to fight is my over-developed work ethic which would, if I let it have its way, have me working every hour I am awake. I've done it in the past – and I don't know many people who haven't. Insane hours. Exhaustion. And a perverse sense of misplaced pride in it all.
I want to write a full post about that, but suffice to say, I'm becoming more and more jealous of my weekends, more and more jealous of my evenings. When you accept that your To Do list is more like a Mobius Strip than an actual list, you accept that it will never been finished. The question then becomes "At what point do I abandon my day as 'finished'?". Sometimes it's dictated by deadlines, but more often than not it should be dictated by "When I have worked a full working day", which I interpret to be between 7 and 8 hours.
With my old-fangled invention of a desk diary, I can at least now say "OK, time's up!". Emails which have not been replied to will have to wait. Documents that still need work will also have to wait. When my evening begins, that's my time.
Fantastic post from Tristan Ferne on the nature of time-based media, complete with little diagrams and everything. It's a follow on from the Annotatable Audio project that Tristan worked with Tom Coates and others at the BBC on, and it sets my head a-spinning.
The problem with a radio show-related blog post is that the discussion is not only distinctly textual, it's also decontextualised because the blog post is separated from the audio. If you don't hear the show at the time it's broadcast, (or during it's 'play again' period of a week, on the Beeb at least) then commenting on it is hard – you can only comment after the fact. Even if you do hear the show, the blog doesn't allow you to comment easily on a specific aspect of the broadcast discussion without having to reiterate that point up front. So whilst the blog is a valuable tool, it still limits the conversation.
What if you were making a discussion radio programme, and you could firstly chapterise it issue by issue, and then sub-chapterise it by caller, or by point made, and then people could both annotate the audio, adding in links and supporting/refuting evidence, and could leave audio comments using Skype or Odeo or whatever on specific sections of the programme.
I'll admit most of this post is informed by conversations with Kevin (we've been doing a lot of thinking about innovation in journalism recently), but I think it pretty much applies to any type of show where you want discussion, whether they are radio or podcast. I think there's a huge opportunity here not just for podcasters to make their shows more interactive, but for big media to find new ways to reconnect with their audiences.
Last week, I took part in a chat amongst journalists, designers and progammers on an internal e-mail list about how we work together. It was touched off by the e-mail interview with Adrian Holovaty at the Online Journalism Review.
It all starts with the people, really. If you want innovation, hire people who are capable of it. Hire people who know what's possible.
He says hire programmers, which news organisations are doing. But even journalists – like myself – who can't programme but still know what's possible are important. I took one programming class, ever, and that was Pascal back in the late 80s. I dropped it after one semester when I realised that my brain just didn't work that way.
Yet my journalism school specifically and my university – the University of Illinois – more generally prepared me well for what was to come. I learned about all aspects of journalism, including design. I got the basics, plus I did lunch with the developers who worked on Mosaic, so got an early introduction to the web. There are journalists who aren't programmers who know what's possible, and quite honestly we are just waiting to be unleashed so we can get on with it.
What's holding us back? Lots. As journalists, we're obsessed with today's deadlines. But too often, that focus comes at the cost of innovation that, for most of the internet, happened a while ago. We haven't burned the business cards as Jeff Jarvis suggested and are stuck with organisational structures that concentrate solely on putting out a daily newspaper or feeding the beast of the 24-hour broadcast news machine, but which aren't flexible enough to free up innovators to work on other projects. In a world of Google and nimble start-ups, news organisations need to invest in a little R&D and give us room to experiment.
Instead, the hungry innovators get pigeonholed, even when our skill set defies categorisation. I'm a journalist, a blogger, a podcaster, a cameraman, a photographer, a hacker (albeit not a very good one). As my partner in podcasting, Ben Metcalfe, says, if I were a town, I'd be San Luis Obispo, halfway between the content capital of LA and the geek creativity crucible of Silicon Valley. Don't try to shoehorn me into your org chart. You're org chart is part of the problem. You'll get less value from me in an old school position than you'll get if you let me do what I love: Get up every morning, work like a dog and create a brand new medium.
I am passionate about journalism, and I'm passionate about what journalists, designers and programmers can achieve together when unleashed on this amazing canvas called the internet. I get excited thinking about what I can do with all of this new fangled mobile communications technology. How does that transform journalism? Live, immediate, raw, real. Must read, must see, must participate in, be a part of content. That's what it does.
And while you're at it, as Adrian says, stop treating us geeks like the hired help. Adrian uses the term IT Monkey, I believe. New media isn't new anymore. In the UK, online advertising spending surpassed radio in 2004, and it is expected to surpass national newspaper spending this year.
Excluding internet spending, total UK media advertising would be in recession with television, national and regional press all reporting revenue declines this year, it said.
This isn't the lates 90s when people said of the web, "Show me the money". The money is there. The audience is there. The news industry needs to shift its priorities both in hiring and spending.
There are some small organisations like the Lawrence Journal World and Lawrence.com in Lawrence, Kansas (where Adrian Holovaty worked before joining the Washington Post), Nord Jyske in Denmark and many others, who understand multimedia, participatory media and are doing it really well. These are small shops where the editors, journos, developers, designers work together in a much more seemless and collaborative way.
But while Adrian is doing some great stuff when it comes to the innovative packaging and presentation of news at the Washington Post, what other possibilities are there? What could we achive when programmers, designers and programme makers work together during the whole process, rather than just the last few steps? Add in a little WiFi, 3G, radical in the field/on the ground newsgathering, and right away you've got a journalistic revolution.
I'd love the chance to focus on a single project, with the web at its heart and with on-demand audio and video. (No broadcast – broadcast would subsume this project. The media could be used on TV or radio, but it's not a goal unto itself.) I'd work with a multi-skilled team with overlapping skills so they are literate in each others' specialities and understand the challenges each will encounter. They would be the sort of people who understand that web isn't just a publishing medium. Community and participation would be central to this project, both for promotion and co-creation. This is an X-project. A news incubator.
There are a couple of key issues that I need to think more about. Some stories would be perfect for this treatment, but not all. Some audiences would eat this up, but not all. We should focus on the right stories for the right audiences – you might call them 'edge cases' but perhaps 'early adopters' is a better way of thinking of them. IM, RSS, sharing. Mash ups. New news. News for the MySpace generation.
News has to evolve if it is to survive. And there are already journalists and geeks with mad ninja skills just waiting for a chance to show the world what can be done.
First off, I want to say that I really admire the ambition of the Guardian Unlimited's Comment is Free. It is one of the boldest statements made by any media company that participation needs to be central to a radical revamp of traditional content strategies.
Editors, please listen. If you're not rethinking your entire content strategy around participative principles, you're placing your future at risk.
Perhaps the most prominent liberal newspaper in the anglophone world, opening a weblog for comment and opinion, with free and open user commenting is, to put it mildly, asking for trouble. … This means that we have to employ a whole combination of technological and social countermeasures to make sure that the handful of trolls do not, as they say, ruin it for the rest of us. Frankly, it gives me the fear.
Ben was right to be concerned. Honestly, I wish there were a clearer headed assessment of the risks involved with blogging by media companies. Don't get me wrong. I think that media companies should blog, but the risks aren't as simple as they may appear and something on the scale of CiF is of course going to have problems. The Guardian appear to have focused mainly on the risks posed by commenters and have put a lot of energy into figuring out how they can have open comments without falling foul of UK libel law.
But people are people, and you are bound to get abusive, rude or irrelevant comments. Any publicly commentable website will reflect the cross-section of society that reads it, so it's inevitable that some comments will not be as civil and insightful as we would prefer. Trolls happen.
Just this week, Engadget had to temporarily shut off its comments "because of the unacceptable level of noise / spam / junk / flaming / rudeness going on throughout our boards".
Catherine Bennett writes a column so full of uninformed generalisations about blogging in the UK, specifically political blogging, as to completely lack credibility. She seems to be trying to discredit the Euston Manifesto, a net-born political movement in the UK, by painting it as the creation of a sexually obsessed, semi-literate male-dominated blogging clique. I'll leave it to you to follow the link to the Manifesto and draw your own conclusions.
Ms Toynbee why don't you step out from behind your byline and tell us a little about yourself instead of belittling us? It's usually worked for me when trying to dampen an online flame war.
What do you do all day, MrPikeBishop, that you have time to spend your life on this site? I suppose the answer may be that you are a paraplegic typing with one toe and then I shall feel guilty at picking you out as one particular persecutor.
What do you expect when you respond to ad hominem attacks with patronising ad hominem attacks? Do you really see this as a solution? Are you treating your audience with the kind of respect that you for some reason think you deserve by default?
Ms Toynbee professes to answer her many e-mails, but I do get the sense that the Guardian's columnists are simply not used to this kind of medium, they are not used to getting feedback in public where they can't just hit 'delete' to get rid of a pesky critic.
It's like them walking into a pub, making their pronouncements and then walking out. Later, they are shocked to find out that everyone is calling them a wanker.
One observation – those who respond to commenters tend not to be abused so much. There is a certain accountability required among political commentators, just as there is for politicians. Until now, opinion formers have never really had to justify themselves. I can think of many of the commentariat who write provocative and incendiary pieces which cause no end of trouble, yet they carry on stoking up argument and division, without censure or even a requirement to explain themselves.
Two issues here: Columnists are not used to engaging in conversation with their readers; and the readers have had years to build up contempt of specific writers and are now being given the opportunity to revile them in public. A lethal combination of arrogance and pent-up frustration – no wonder CiF has soured. Question is, can the Guardian columnists learn from their mistakes and pull it back from the brink?
A few suggestions. Don't treat your audience as the enemy. If you're going to talk down to your audience, they are going to shout back. And quite honestly, I would say to any media organisation that your best columnists and commentators don't necessarily make the best bloggers. Most media organisations thinkg blogging is simply snarky columns. Wrong, wrong and wrong.
It's a distributed conversation. Ms Ashley says: "As with child bullies, I wonder if these anonymous commenters and correspondents would really be quite so "brave" if they were having a face to face conversation." You're right, and I am in no way defending some of the toxic comments that you're receiving. But step back. Read your column as if it were one side of a conversation and think how you would respond.
Many columnists seem to use the British public school debating trick that really is a form of elitist trash-talking. Belittle your opponents as much as possible. Most will lose their heads, and therefore the argument. But, again, step back. Would you ever address someone face-to-face in the patronising manner of your columns and honestly expect anything approaching a civil response? It seems that your debating strategy has worked all too well, and your audience is so angry that they are responding merely with profanity and vitriol.
Again, having said all of that, I'm glad that the Guardian aren't letting growing pains stop them. They are choosing one of their best CiF commenters to become a CiF blogger. Bravo.


This tee shot will test your nerves. An iron or fairway metal off the tee is intelligent. Water guards the entire left side of the fairway and fronts the green. Dunes all down the right side are intimidating, although there is more room here than you can see. Play enough club to carry onto the narrow green.
A generous landing area for the opening hole leads way to a long-narrow elevated green.
Safety first is the motto on the short par 4 second. A tee shot in the fairway is a must if you expect to hold the narrow front-to-back green.
The bunker and pond on the left create an intimidating short iron shot into the large undulating green.
Bunker left and bunker right may be your thought on the tee box of this lengthy par 4, but don't be intimidated. It is a generous fairway if positioned well.
Long hitters can cut the corner on this reachable par 5; a split fairway for the second can create a difficult layup.
Stay calm as you prepare to hit this unique island green surrounded by one very large bunker.
A short dogleg right can be attacked from almost any angle on this generous fairway. The large two-tiered green is protected by two very deep bunkers in the rear.
This split fairway par 5 invites you to go for the green in two, but beware of the large fairway bunker and false front that surrounds the large undulating green.
A winding creek creates visual intimidation as it cuts the fairway in two, then again on the approach as it dashes across the front of the green.
This slight dogleg left looks a lot longer than it plays, gradually climbing to one of the highest points on the property.
Club selection is difficult on this treacherous par 3. The left side of the green is home to a couple of the deepest pot bunkers on the course.
Check out the great views of Lake Michigan and The Straits from the highest point on The Irish while teeing off to the valley below.
The name describes it all on this multilevel, double-tee par 3 leading to the largest green on The Irish.
A tee box in the farthest northwest corner of the property, this tricky risk/reward par 5 is among the most scenic on the back nine.
Do not try to cut off too much on the right side of the difficult dogleg right. The long, skinny green is protected by undulating mounds and difficult pot bunkers.
Among the most undulating of the greens on The Irish, the pin location is key here. Trust your tee line as intimidation is definitely a factor.
The skinny winding fairway of this par 5 snakes to the left of the mound in the fairway. A miss to the right of this green will give the best chance for a par.

StanChart is Said to Mull Options for Malaysian Islamic Arm
Standard Chartered plc (StanChart) is considering options for its Islamic banking unit in Malaysia, including a potential sale, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The London-based lender has been gauging interest from potential buyers for the business, known as Standard Chartered Saadiq Bhd, according to the people. It is weighing an exit from Malaysia's Islamic banking market as fierce competition from local rivals has limited its growth prospects, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
"This story is categorically untrue," StanChart said in an emailed statement.
StanChart, which became the first international firm to offer Islamic banking products in Malaysia in 1992, is considering selling the unit or winding it down, one of the people said.
It isn't running a formal process, and the bank hasn't appointed advisors, the person said. Standard Chartered Saadiq had US$165 million (RM670 million) of net assets at the end of September, according to its latest financial statements.
Deliberations are at an early stage, and there's no certainty they will result in a transaction, the people said.
StanChart follows other foreign lenders, like Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank and Kuwait Finance House, that have been considering exiting their Islamic banking operations in Malaysia.
Last year, a consortium including Qatar Islamic Bank completed the sale of its holdings in a local Shariah-compliant lender, Asian Finance Bank Bhd, to Malaysia Building Society Bhd.
Malaysia, which pioneered Islamic finance in the 1980s, aims to have 40% of its banking assets complying with the religion's ban on interest by 2020. That's up from an estimated 30% at the end of last year.
In May 2018, StanChart identified Malaysia as one of the large "turnaround" markets where it wants to improve returns from its retail banking operations. The firm told investors it will shift its approach, accelerating a pivot toward wealth management offerings and Priority Banking services for affluent customers, as well as focusing on clients' international needs.
Standard Chartered Saadiq's net income fell 27% in 2017 to RM23.5 million, roughly a third of its profit five years earlier. Profit after tax for the first nine months of last year more than doubled to RM45.9 million.

Do you know that to submit a Canada immigration application that materializes into a visa for you, first of all, you need to figure out why you want to migrate to Canada? To put it differently, you need to discover for what specific object you require a Canada Visa.
Do you want a visa to do a job and earn handsome pay-packages? Do you want to launch a business and leave your footprints on the global map, as an enterprising businessman/investor? Do you want a visa as you want to explore the different attractions of the overseas hotspot–both natural and man-made, such as Niagara Falls and Quebec City, for example? Do you want a visa to pursue studies in one of the first-rate Canadian universities about which you may have heard and read so much?
Only after you successfully manage to obtain an answer to your own question start the Canada immigration application process for Canada. If you do this, you will dramatically improve the chances of success and pocketing a visa under a category that suits your particular goals and backgrounds the most.
For example, if you are an investor/businessman, and keen to make profitable investments in the country, you will have the option of Investor/Business Visa and using this specific immigration path you can not only get the specific visa that suits your needs and goals the most but also improve your chances significantly via focusing your energy and time on the right visa category.
The Immigration, Refuges and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) immigration authorities have a very sharp eye. They can easily detect if a visa, for which you may have applied, suits your background or needs or not. Of course, they will come to this conclusion after taking a look at your preferred visa category and background. But it is true that they will be willing to give you a visa ONLY if they figure out you really mean business and what you could be saying is really genuine and true.
They will also be a lot happier and willing to give your visa, if your proposed business or investment can play a key role in the growth of the further development and expansion of the already thriving Canadian economy.
Similarly, if you want to migrate to Canada for work purposes, then you will have to apply for a Work Visa and get it successfully after presenting your Canadian Immigration Application for the object.
Needless to say, if you have the skills in-demand in the country, are comparatively young with good language skills, you will have an edge over others, and manage to convince those who matter to provide you not only an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a visa but also give you a Work Visa eventually, of course, if you fulfill the remaining mandatory Canada immigration requirements for the visa.
So, the most important secret behind submitting a successful Canada Immigration Application is figuring out first why you want to move to the destination, and what visa suits your particular needs and aspirations, and of course the credentials, the most.

"Man Looking Southeast" ("Hombre Mirando al Sudeste"; Argentina, 1986, 9:30 p.m.). A prize-winner at the Toronto Festival, this brilliantly unsettling and hypnotic film concerns the mysterious Rantes, a young, compelling mental patient who claims to be from another planet. Highly intelligent and asking not to be cured but to be understood, he sways his doctor's skepticism and our own as director/writer Subliela goes beyond a Christ and Pontius Pilate metaphor to raise fundamental philosophical questions about our place in the universe. Rantes becomes as powerful, vulnerable and poignant a hero as David Bowie in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" or Michael Rennie in "The Day the Earth Stood Still," in an Tarkovsky-like atmosphere by this important director new to North Americans. Recommended.
