It's May, and, for me, that means that planning for the next Houston Cinema Arts Festival will start ramping up. The Cannes Film Festival has just started, and so upcoming fall and winter releases related to our arts theme are just now coming into view. For example, Paolo Sorrentino's (The Great Beauty) new film, Youth, starring Michael Caine as an aging composer, will premiere in the next few days and I'll be keeping my eye on the film's reception and distribution plans.
Since last November's festival ended, my primary programming efforts have turned to Cinema Pacific, a spring festival I've been programming in Eugene and Portland, Oregon since 2010, and that wrapped its sixth edition on May 3. The two festivals I program complement each other. As I wrote in an earlier blog entry, learning about the importance of James Blue to Houston's film history sparked my efforts to help gain him greater recognition in Oregon, where he was raised and educated. This has inspired several Cinema Pacific screenings of films made and inspired by Blue, including this year's presentation of a remarkably well-made parody of Hamlet that Blue made while an undergraduate at the University of Oregon.
Also, this year, I took a portion of Deborah Colton Gallery's 2013 Jonas Mekas exhibition, on which HCAS had collaborated when we jointly brought Jonas Mekas to Houston, and installed it at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene. It's been a pleasure collaborating with Deborah, and exposing audiences in both Houston and Eugene to this major artist's cinematic and photographic works.
I have, on several occasions, used Cinema Pacific as an out-of-town tryout for programs that, when they really clicked with audiences, earned an invitation to Houston. People were blown away by Hao Jie's film The Love Songs of Tiedan in Eugene in 2013; in Houston later that year, I was able to go further and invite the two magnetic leads, Yelan Jiang and Feng Si, to sing and dance onstage at the Asia Society after the screening.
This year, the featured artist at Cinema Pacific was the "father of the New Filipino Cinema," Kidlat Tahimik, whose classic film The Perfumed Nightmare was a revelation to many. I realized that the film's fantasy of creating a Third World space program to rival NASA's will be a wonderful complement to our CineSpace competition. What's more, Tahimik crosses over art forms, supplementing his screenings with a live performance and a sculptural installation, and so he is perfect for our Houston festival. I have extended the invitation, and you can look forward to meeting Kidlat in November.


Just about every occasion can warrant flowers. You see them at weddings decorating the venue and in the bride's bouquet as she walks down the aisle. You see them being brought as gift for a first date. They're sent for Valentine's Day, birthdays, and Mother's Day. You also see them displayed at funeral homes when someone passes away and you are celebrating their life. Did you ever know though that each flower has a different meaning and sends a different message? If you're using flowers to send a message, whether it's "I love you" or "I'm sorry for your loss", you want to make sure you sending the right message. After all, "I love you" and "I'm sorry for your loss" aren't messages that you would want to confuse.
First and foremost, you want to think about the message that you want to send. Are you trying to say "I love you!"? Are you trying to communicate that someone lights up your day? If you're not someone who is good with words, then just go with the feeling that you want to give the other person. Do you want them to feel beautiful? Do you want them to feel appreciated? Do you want them to feel perfect and without flaws? Whatever it is, just identify it.
Then you move on to the actual messages that flowers send. Here's a list of some of the most common. You can use these to decide which flowers would be best. Perhaps you'll go with one of the flowers, or you could also choose a few to go in the bouquet.
Apple Blossom – An apple blossom says "Perfect". If you're trying to tell someone that they're great, incredible, or just wonderful, then the apple blossom is your flower.
Arum Lily – An arum lily says "Love'. Like serious love and passion. If you want to send your love to someone and want to avoid the traditional red rose route, you could give the arum lily a try.
Azalea – An azalea says commitment, dedication, in it to win it, true until the end. Trying to tell someone you're all in and dedicated? Grab an azalea.
Bluebell – A bluebell is the flower of ever-lasting love and appreciation. They're often seen at funerals.
Carnation (Red) – Though carnations are often thought to be the flower of funerals, a red one actually means fascination, interest, and admiration. So, ladies or gentlemen, if you happen to get a red carnation, don't give the guy or girl a hard time. They're speaking flower!
Carnation (White) – A white carnation means sweet, lovely, endearing. So, they'd be acceptable to give someone that you like. But if you really REALLY like them, spring for a red carnation, or a rose. Especially since the white carnation are often seen at funerals. They're kind of like a "friend zone" flower.
Daffodil – A daffodil says joy, high regard, and loveliness. They're a sweet flower that you could possibly give you mom, grandmother, or daughter just to say "You're pretty darn lovely!" Husbands, they're okay to give your wife, too.
Daisy – A daisy is a flower of innocence. You'll often see children with daisies in their hair. They're okay to give to just about anyone. They're seen everywhere from birthday bouquets to wedding flowers.
Flowering Almond – This flower is perfect for someone going through a tough time. Their meaning is "hope" and if someone is lacking it these days, a flowering almond is the perfect sentiment.
Forget-me-not – As its name suggests, the forget me not symbolizes true, undying love. You could surely give it to your wife or significant other as a nice gesture.
Gardenia – A gardenia's message is purity and joy. It'd be a perfect flower to give mom for mother's day, or even to a little one who was in a dance recital or play.
Heather (White) – A white heather is a great way to wish someone luck. That's the message that it sends; luckiness.
Iris – An iris means hope and wisdom. Might be a good gift for a teacher or respected person in your life.
Lilac – A lilac is a symbol of youthful innocence and grace. This is another flower for children, but also looks lovely in a wedding bouquet.
Lily – A lily is another flower of purity. Another message that it sends is majesty. You'll see them a lot in wedding flowers because of these two combined meanings.
Lily of the Valley – These flowers send a message of happiness or the return of happiness. This could be looked at in two ways. 1—Celebrating someone's life after they pass or 2—Celebrating someone overcoming something big in their lives and being happy once again.
Orchid – If you want to tell someone that they're beautiful, the orchid is the way to go.
Rose (Pink) – A pink rose means happiness and grace. Another strong woman flower or for someone that inspires you.
Rose (Red) – The most common message known: It sends the I love you and passion message.
Rose (White) – Another flower that you see at weddings. They symbolize love, purity, and beauty.
Sunflower – The sunflower sends a message of adoration – it can be seen as love adoration or just a platonic, general admiration of someone.
Tulip (Red) – A red tulip is similar to a red rose, it means love; however, not necessarily passion. So these would be okay for a platonic love message to mom too.
Tulip (Yellow) – A yellow tulip sends the "you light up my life" message. This one is another one that is acceptable as a mom gift, or as a wife/spouse flower.
Violet – A violet means fidelity, honesty, and faithfulness. Don't give a violet unless you know you're communicating that you're honest and faithful and intend to stay that way!
Feeling a bit more educated in the language of flowers? Good. The only thing that can prove to be difficult is that some flowers can be out of season. Because of this, you should head to a florist who is trained in the flower language and can give you a great flower substitute for what you were trying to say. Just make sure you're sending the right message.


I returned home from the 3PGC Practitioners conference in Manhattan Beach on Sunday evening. I floated into the house in a very settled state of mind despite having navigated my way through a busy LAX airport, short flight but long wait to get off the plane, and zig zag through a crowded Phoenix airport.
When I arrived home, there was little to do (for a change) but shower and fall into bed. I'm grateful to my husband and Kyle's team for once again, making it possible for me to leave and have things run so beautifully while I was gone. I feel very fortunate.
The next day I woke up to my responsibilities to get Kyle ready for his day and figure out the direction of my day as well. My head felt a bit cottony. I floated through the morning routine with relative calm. Mornings don't always feel this way. "What is this about?" I wondered. I wouldn't have the answer to that until a little later.
A more settled state of mind. A mind with less on it. I can see that my settled state of mind occurred over the weekend and I was still experiencing an afterglow of sorts. I spent more consecutive time in the present moment than in a long time. Maybe even ever. In reflection, it seemed almost magical. Though in real time, while I was living it, there was no magic or even words to describe it. It simply was. I was able to soak up what the speakers were sharing and that led me to an inspired, beautiful feeling.
However, at the end of each conference day, I felt exhausted. Spent. It turns out, this was a common experience of many of the participants. Cathy Casey, one of the presenters, called it busy mind detox. Interesting.
The best way I can describe it is that bundles and bundles of thinking fell away. With a big energetic whoosh, my full and busy brain became a quieter one. Without doing, effort, planning, striving, trying, it was just what happened. My thoughts settled, allowing me to be in the present moment soaking everything up like a sponge.
A busy brain is like a computer with many tabs open all flashing or chattering at me in rapid succession. The system slows and doesn't function as well. I keep refreshing the browser only to hear the same repetitive personal thinking. Then I start opening more tabs, somehow thinking that's where the answers lie. So much energy required to keep the busyness going. It turns into feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and stress. My mind becomes so full. Lots of noise, very few answers.
When we detox from too much unhealthy food, we often crash. That's just what I found myself doing at the end of each day of the conference. I was exhausted. But since I wasn't judging it as good or bad or believing it should be different or thinking it meant anything, I just went with it and it turned into a nice experience. A slowing down or letting go, of sorts.
It turns out, for me, there was a byproduct of this detox. I was able to understand some things at a deeper level than before.
I got a new glimpse of the space referenced by all the speakers. It is the space that is fundamental to the three principles as uncovered by Sydney Banks. I get pretty tangled up trying to put this in words that make sense. I am trying to make form out of something that is formless. In this moment, I'll take a shot at it anyway.
It's the space that is not just within each of us, it is us. It is the space beyond our personal thinking. It is the space independent of the things that happen around us and to us. The space of well being, peace, health, and love. When we access this space we feel happier, more connected, more open, more loving. We become more present, slowing down to the speed of life, so to speak. We experience our wisdom, often leading us to new insights. Life feels easier to navigate even if nothing on the outside has actually changed. We know what to do next and it seems to flow effortlessly.
This space is always available to us. It just gets obscured by thought. Innocently, thought clogs it with mounds and mounds of personal thinking. Some of it, not helpful, even downright unhealthy. In a sense, our space gets filled with junk. Yup, a lot of our thinking, as it turns out, is pretty junky. Yet, when this junk drains out, we are left with direct access to our wisdom and all that most of us seem to be seeking: feelings of well being and peace.
At this point, you might be wondering, how you might get more of a sense of that space. How can you do a busy mind detox? Is there a special drink or technique?
The good news is, there is no tool, technique, strategy, or process to detox. There is nothing to put in the metaphorical blender to drain the junk out of the mind and help you access this space.
You can sit on the beach and look at the ocean, but you don't need to. You can list 5 things you are grateful for, but you don't need to. You can take 5 deep breaths, but you don't need to. I understand you're used to strategies that take effort so maybe this doesn't sound like good news to you.
What I can see more clearly than ever, is when you have something available to you at all times, you are only one thought away from a shift. You are only one thought away from seeing something new. You are only one thought away from tasting and touching that space. You are only one thought away from hearing wisdom and experiencing the peace and well being you were born with.
Just knowing this, just this awareness itself, is all you need to head in that direction. This knowing is the shortcut to your all access pass to the busy mind detox.
And if you are moved to sit on the beach, express gratitude, breathe deeply or even make a green smoothie, do it. In fact, you will be moved to do all kinds of things from this space. It's your wisdom calling.
Just know, like your computer, your mind has a default setting. Peace and well being. And you are one thought away from it at all times.

Wood Partners Sells Suburban Multifamily Community in Phoenix Submarket for $71.75 Million
CHANDLER, AZ - Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, announced the sale of Alta San Marcos, a 273-unit apartment complex in Chandler, Arizona. The property sold for $71.75 million, or $262,821 per unit. The community will be renamed Summit at San Marcos.
"This asset is one of just three multifamily communities in Chandler with frontage along the San Marcos Golf Course," said Steve Gebing, IPA senior managing director. "Winner of the 2019 Real Estate Development Award for 'Best Multifamily Project' in Arizona, the property's exceptional location and East Coast brownstone-inspired architecture make it an unparalleled investment."
Gebing and Cliff David, IPA senior managing director, represented the seller, Wood Partners, and procured the buyer, LaSalle Investment Management's NAV-REIT, JLL Income Property Trust. "Over the past five years, absorption has outpaced completions in both the Chandler and Gilbert submarkets," added David. "Apartment supply in these areas has grown by at least 25 percent over that time and vacancy rates have fallen by more than 50 basis points."
Alta San Marcos is just west of the intersection of Arizona Avenue and Chandler Boulevard and within walking distance of Downtown Chandler. The high-end Chandler Fashion Center is part of the 18.8 million square feet of upscale retail and dining within a five-mile radius and there are more than 8,200 businesses within a 10-mile radius of the community. Employment regions, including the Chandler Airpark, Price, Uptown Chandler, West Chandler and Northwest Gilbert corridors are easily accessible.
Completed in 2018, Alta San Marcos's high-end community amenities include a clubhouse and leasing office with a 13-foot theater-style television, plush seating, a demonstration kitchen, and a fitness center. Apartments have nine-foot or higher ceilings and the average unit size is 940 square feet.

Acropora palmata is the king of all Caribbean corals. Acropora palmata grows into thick robust branches and is the most important reef-building species in the Caribbean.
Like it's thinner cousin, Acropora cervicornis, palmata colonies provide complex habitat for juvenile fish. As well, extensive colonies growing close to shore can help buffer the coastline from storms and waves.
Acropora palmata was once a dominant species in the Caribbean but unfortunately, there has been a 90-95% reduction in abundance since 1980. This coral is now listed as critically endangered.
The common name for this coral is the Elkhorn Coral, because of the flat branches that grow like a crown of antlers. I don't think we need much explanation for identifying this species as it has a one of a kind appearance. Colonies are golden yellow to dark brown.
Branches can grow several meters across and we've found colonies of Elkhorn which are more than 6 meters, 18 feet across. Recently we had the opportunity to visit a pristine Elkhorn habitat in Honduras. At this location, there are over 1200 colonies along the coastline! You can watch a 360 video of our dive here.
Corals are colonial species. Thousands of tiny polyps make up a coral colony and can reproduce asexually by budding and dividing creating genetically identical clones. New polyps focus on building a sturdy calcium carbonate home which becomes the corallite and as the skeleton building up the colony grows bigger and stronger.
This also means when branches break off the colony they can continue to grow. An interesting study from 2016 looked at the genetics of Elkhorn coral and found that some colonies in the Caribbean can be over 5000 years old. While the living colony may not have survived millennia it's genetics did, making them amongst the longest lived species in the world.

Dating back more than 100 years, Trimper's Amusement Park is an Ocean City tradition unlike any other.
Located near the inlet at South First Street and the Boardwalk, Trimper's has been a family-run business in the resort city for several generations. Rides at the popular park include a large selection of vintage kiddies rides, including a carousel from 1912, bumper cars, a haunted house, tea cups, a tilt-a-whirl, and many others.
Parts of the amusement park were made historic landmarks in 2007.


The aim of present research was the effect of short-term use of edible solution of jujube one week before a single session of circuit resistance exercise on neutrophil apoptosis of male students of physical education. 14 young male volunteer students were divided into two groups of placebo (n=7, aged 24.50±2.50, height 171.17±1.70, and weight 67.51±4.92) and jujube solution (n=7, aged 25.25±1.31, height 179.75±3.63, weight 74.07±5.78) at random, performing one circuit resistance exercise (9 moves/stops, 30 seconds for each exercise, 3 nonstop sets with a 3-minute active recession between sets, 10-14 repetitions, and an intensity of 70% maximum repetition). Subjects received placebo and jujube solutions (0.5 g/kgbody weight in 2.5cc of distilled water as long as 7 days) at certain times and double-blind. Blood samples were collected 30 minutes before, immediately, and 2 hours after the exercise for separation and counting the number of neutrophils, and neutrophil apoptosis was determined through AnexinV-FITC kit and flow cytometric method. The results indicated the significant response of initial apoptosis neutrophils to one course of activity by jujube group. However, different responses were observed between two groups of placebo and jujube during the recession after training. Unlike placebo group, the response was significantly lower with a greater decrease after training in jujube group. However, necrosis/delayed apoptosis neutrophils significantly increased in placebo group after 2 hours, while this change was not observed in jujube group. At the end of a 2-hour recession, delayed apoptosis neutrophils significantly decreased in both placebo and jujube groups. The present findings indicate that one-session resistance activity is not very effective after pretreatment with jujube solution during one week. Perhaps this useful effect of jujube can be explained by existing glucose compounds and amino acids which could provide neutrophils with proper nutrition source in comparison with placebo. It is possible that jujube resulted in improvement of neutrophil's antioxidant capacity, because it has proper antioxidant materials. Therefore, it might be stated that loading with edible jujube solution can be effective in inhibiting apoptosis at least for one week.


Originally a Gujarati dish, muthias are super tasty and healthy. They can be a great snacks option that you can indulge into without much guilt.
Mix all the ingredients together. Bind them together with the help of little water to form a stiff dough. Cut them into small pieces or any other shape you desire.
Steam those dough pieces for 10 minutes and then roast them on a pan until golden brown. Place them on a tissue paper to get rid of excess oil if any.
Serve warm as a stand-alone dish or with some fresh mint chutney.

Anonymous names man they say drove Amanda Todd to suicide
16 Oct 2012 67 Facebook, Law & order, Social networks
Previous: Gary McKinnon saved from extradition after ten year fight
Next: EU tells Google to make its new privacy policy clearer and to give users easier opt-out
In September this year, a Canadian teenager called Amanda Todd posted a video on YouTube describing how she had been the victim of bullying.
15-year-old Amanda, from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, described – with the aid of a series of flashcards – the horrific treatment she had received at the hands of bullies in her video entitled "My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self harm".
Amanda was bullied viciously on Facebook where her schoolmates were invited to join a page which included topless photographs of her, causing Amanda to suffer from anxiety and depression.
Despite her family moving house and her changing schools, the bullying continued and Amanda fell into drug-taking and alcohol.
After a violent encounter with another girl, Amanda drank bleach and attempted to kill herself.
"It killed me inside and I thought I actually was going to die."
Amanda admitted in the video that she had deliberately cut herself, and ends the movie by holding a card which reads:
"I have nobody. I need someone. My name is Amanda Todd."
Here is a copy of Amanda's video. It makes for harrowing viewing:
On 10 October 2012, Amanda Todd committed suicide. It was just one week before her 16th birthday.
Amanda's tragic death has stirred a national debate about cyberbullying, but the sad story has now developed a new twist.
People associating themselves with the Anonymous hacktivist group have published a video and documents, naming the person that they believe to have allegedly relentlessly harrassed Amanda Todd, and distributed topless photographs of the young teen.
We aren't going to publish the name of the person "doxed" by Anonymous here. We have no way of telling if he really is connected with Amanda Todd or not.
But even if he was, it should be clear to everyone that the most appropriate course of action is to pass any pertinent information onto the police – not to engage in internet vigilante revenge.
The death of Amanda Todd should be shocking to everyone. It certainly makes me think twice about letting a child of mine have a Facebook account, or use a webcam unsupervised, because of the horrible mess they could end up in.
But let's make sure that none of us become internet bullies ourselves in our desire for justice after a young woman's death.
There's an opportunity for Amanda's life to mean something to far more people than those she ever met, in countries around the globe.
If we want Amanda's life and legacy to make any difference to the world, we all need to take onboard the strong message about the importance of treating others with respect online.
I can imagine how publishing an alleged tormentor's name, address and employment history online could lead to the same kind of ugly online persecution that Amanda Todd had to face.
Amanda Todd did something brave. She made a video about her horrible situation and it was watched around the world.
It's not brave to hide behind an anonymous mask and publish details of the man you blame for Amanda's depression and ultimate suicide. Take that info to the cops instead.
67 comments on "Anonymous names man they say drove Amanda Todd to suicide"
What happened to Amanda was horrible and just plain nasty. However, I think everyone referring to it as bullying is actually doing an injustice. What I see here goes way beyond bullying into outright criminal activities. The behavior demonstrated here by the antagonists brings to light a gap in the criminal code regarding harassment. We need better definitions for when bullying turns into criminal harassment.
I don't believe we need to involve police with bullying, most bullies are just tiny insecure people trying to bloat their ego at the expense of someone else – you don't talk with them, you just challenge them and fight them hard! That's how I was taught to deal with bullies and it worked, you win some, you loose some, but the bully eventually gets the message that easier prey is had elsewhere and moves on. That worked for me every single time.
But criminal harassment is way beyond bullying and extends into defamation of character, mental anguish, etc., and it is obviously not properly defined in the criminal code but should be, with inclusions to account for social media which plays a much larger role in everyone's lives than it did back when the current code was written. Amanda might still be alive today had she herself understood better the distinction between bullying and criminal activities.
All things in this case considered, why were the police not involved earlier? At a minimum we have criminal distribution of pictures of an under-age girl? That alone should net people registration on the perverts list and several years in prison?
Dave Ott says:
Not everyone can protect themselves as you described. We are not all the same strength, I am sure you realize that. I agee with the idea of maximum prosecution of these perverts. Not sure what I can do from Cali, but if I can help, please let me know. Thanks,
kitkat says:
I agree. She was bullied horribly, but the bullying was caused by a criminal activity. This man should be exposed, arrested, jailed and labeled as what he is, a child pornographer.
Because his criminal act and his extortion and retaliation against her caused the bullying that caused her death, he should be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide.
Why manslaughter of negligent homicide? Premeditation = 1st degree murder. And since he is likely in the US while Amanda was Canadian, that should make it a Federal crime, which puts the death penalty on the table.
I agree with every single thing, but all people are different when it comes to handling situations of being bullied. Right here goes to show how freakin' useless the justice system really is. You would think that cops would have gotten involved A LOT sooner and made sure whomever it was that was sending her breasts to the entire world, would have went to jail. He set her up and ruined her life and did it intentionally. He brought this on a little 15 year old girl. She was still a baby. I am so disgusted with this story. She was trying to seek help for gods sake and no one helped her. The teachers and hell even the principal knew everything that was going on and NOTHING was done. This poor girl ended her life due to some low-life piece of garbage who just wanted to get his wanker wet. It's appalling. He should be sitting his ass in jail. Period.
Akuin says:
I stood up to bullies once. Got caustic chemicals sprayed in my eye and EVERYONE treated it as nothing like you are really. It's good you defended yourself BUT someone else took the brunt. That bully was harder on their NEW victim. Bullying IS criminal harassment. Bullying IS defamation of character (OMG! Did you hear about X. She's dating the principal!..sound familiar?), It IS Mental anguish ("Keep my head down…keep my head down…stay quiet…maybe they won't notice me today. Please god, just let me go home."), and even Physical harm (industrial strength cleaner from the janitor's cart sprayed directly into my eye). Bullying is NOT minor, and it's devastating to the victim.
After literally YEARS of being attacking physically and mentally, being threatened by students AND staff (The Vice principal that year threatened to expel me if I came to the school for help again.) Being isolated from being able to tell my parents to keep the bullying from getting worse because it was already violent (And to keep from being expelled, after all my mom would have hit the roof on the VP had I told her what was going on, but I was 12, and so viciously bullied that I was terrified to tell her that I was STILL being bullied). I snapped and attacked -one- of my bullies. He'd drawn blood with his actions. It also turned out to be a trap he drew blood to lure me out of the teacher's sight. I spent hours in a hospital with them desperately trying to save my eye because the school wouldn't cooperate with them. The only punishment given to the bully? he couldn't attend the 'graduation ceremony' oh…boo…hoo.
Bullying IS criminal and should not be treated lightly. I've had chemicals sprayed in my eyes. my wrist nearly severed (The PE locker room door at my Jr. High was a thick metal slab and a couple of bullies yanked on the door when I went to keep it from closing. Had another student not stepped up and grabbed the door to stop it from shutting I'd have lost my hand at the wrist, I've had a girl smash my head against a mental pole, another bash my head against a metal paper towel dispenser repeatedly. I've have rumors, gossip, people laughing at me, people screaming at me, people throwing things at me. I've had people threaten me, and remind me that if I tell anyone, that it would be even worse.
Bullying survivors aren't given enough credit for being able to take that much pain and suffering all while the world tells them "It's nothing major…it's just bullying…don't be so over dramatic…-It's just bullying-…"
What you describe as criminal activities -is- bullying at it's worst. It's an injustice to not press upon society just how dangerous bullying can really be.
Guillaume Filion says:
Born in 1980 but 30 years old? They fail at math…
did you watch the video?
It says it happened over the span off 2 years for her….so 2010, and what is 2010 – 1980.
Is that really the message you want to take away from this? Pay attention to things before you try and fault it.
Rick Yeomans says:
well i would like to see the very man appalligise his actions to the family , ask why and what drives a person to hurt the innocent … get the man help so he doesn't live his life hurting
Kelly Michael Brown says:
Get a grip Rick !!! This coward needs to pay for his crimes,He prayed on a defenseless Little girl,he is the lowest, of the low !!! I have no mercy for his kind.
pzykr says:
how does an anonymous hacking group which is being sought by all manner of law enforcement agencies and spook shacks present this material in a way that law enforcement could or would use it? the authorities are more interested in busting anonymous than in tracking down amanda todd's tormentor(s)! witness: if anonymous could do it, the authorities could–but didn't. the "authorities" are way more about suppressing civil rights, locking the internet down against "bad behavior" that threatens them than they will ever give a damn about a 15 year old cyber-victim…
All they'd have to do is not mention "Anonymous". A random person looking to do something good can submit info to the police, it happened before Anonymous. It's not like the police would assume because s/he had a computer and some hacking skills that they must be undeniably connected to the group. They don't all tattoo their faces so they can be identified as members, if s/he didn't mention it the'd just be a concerned citizen with a lead.
donate6 says:
But you need to prove to the cops that your information is legit. To do that, you'd have to show them how you obtained the information, and that would be self-incriminating.
12BVeteran says:
There's that one part of me, that is glad Anon did this. Police can only do so much and if the guy did and doesn't cop to it he walks free to do it again. It can also send a message to those who would want to cyber bully in the future: "be a douche and make someone kill themselves and you'll be next." Having said that, having posted his name, this guy no matter how twisted he is, is now open to "justice of the mob" which is not always a good thing.
Rita Waller Paesano says:
The cops should be able to get him for distributing child pornography. I hope someone in her area gives this to the cops to check out.
tarheel58 says:
Why does Facebook allow this to happen in the first place. They need to have a system in place to shut down cyber bullying as soon as it is spotted. If your to big to look out for the boy or girl that is being mistreated then have a real problem. I don't know how you sleep at night.
Patti Pender says:
Really? And how would you define bullying? I'm disagreeing with you here; is that "bullying?" Should Facebook be censoring people because one or two people find something to be "bullying?" What about 100 or 200? 1000 or 2000? If 100,000 people considered a post "bullying," that would STILL be less than ONE TENTH OF ONE PERCENT of Facebook users.
We need to educate people, not censor them. We need to educate the potential bullies. But more importantly, we need to educate kids on how to let what bullies say just slide off. Nothing upsets the bullies more than you not getting upset by them.
Jeff Coil says:
And what if the guy is innocent? Would you still be glad these cowards did this?
If the man is innocent, he will surely find a way to prove it, and these "coward", as you call them, will have to apologize, or else people will see Anonymous as being a bad/evil group …
Ras Gene Miller says:
By cowards, do you mean the group that acquired evidence of pedophilia which led to the conviction of a sexual predator? Or the group that was able to get information on the football players who raped a 16 year old girl?
Maybe your talking about the group that fights for your right to say and search for whatever you want on the internet without government censorship.
People like to say that those who wear masks are cowards…. Special ops, Navy Seals, Army Rangers…. all wear masks. They do it to protect their identity so that they can continue their fight for justice.
Elena Michell Sutter says:
All forms of bullying must be stopped. Cyber-bullying being one of the most insidious, due to the wide spread reach of the 'net. I was just on a page yesterday, where people were making rude comments about this same girl. I will not repeat those horrid comments here.
I feel for her family and for every family that has to struggle through an ordeal like it. Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem! Report online hate speech and bullying!
DeadCaL says:
Aged 30? Unless it was one of her teachers, does that even make sense?
Despo says:
It makes no sense in this story. You would have to go back and read about how the whole mess unfolded. It was tragic!
artfrankmiami says:
There's an article I read, I think on huffpo, it was some guy on a video chat that she flashed. He then blackmailed her with the pictures, and released them anyway.
MeMeMe says:
F**k him!! why shoud he be protected she wasn't
Because what if they're wrong? If it isn't him, an innocent man will be branded and it could go on for years. She didn't deserve what happened to her, we need to be sure we've got the right guy. We haven't verified anything, at this point he could have been randomly chosen and we'd have no way of knowing otherwise. Yes, the culprit should be punished, but let's not take someone we know nothing about's word for it.
I'm with you Me….He should have no mercy !!!
CatM says:
I'm all for it. The police had the chance to do their jobs, and they failed in a big way. Let him feel the full brunt of internet shaming since he was so eager to give it to her, just so he could jerk off. Payment in full.
CatM,
What makes you think he's capable of any remorse or shame. You or I might be but for a guy who relentlessly victimizes someone like this, chances are he just misses the action and moves on to someone else to do the same thing.
I know it sounds cold, but the best message to send is: 'FOR CHRIST SAKE, GET A DAMN LIFE!!!'.
Of course stuff like this is inevitable when social networking and 'celebrity culture' turns people into complete attention-seeking narcissists, or obsessives who's only aim in life is to ruin others. And it's all done behind the safety of our keyboards – nothing personal, no comeback, no consequences. No need to put effort into relationships that matter. What cultivated this ugly situation?
It's the mob, i.e. society, that allowed the conditions to exist in the first place. We just love it when mainstream media turns complete nonentities into 'celebrities', only to destroy their reputations, and sometimes their lives, months down the line. We, as a society, sanctioned exactly the same behaviour that caused that girl to do herself.
What else could we expect?
NotABreed says:
I say if its really him, I hope he IS bullied.
vexorian says:
Actually, no, the source is not reliable at all. It is the same anonymous account that in the past dennounced Todd's case as a "media scheme".
http://www.youtube.com/user/anonymous204012
I expect they got the right person. Things I have seen them do on 4chan in the past, which is probably the children's wing of anonymous, have been pretty careful like comparing locations of moles on two people who look identical to be sure they are.
If they haven't got the right person then I feel sorry for the guy.
But if they have then maybe he'd like to throw himself on the mercy of the police. He hounded a young girl to death. So that would make him a murderer as surely as if he had chased her off a cliff. He's also a child abuser and a child pornographer.
How you kill someone with deliberation should not affect your legal standing. If that example was set for the other bullies then maybe they'd think twice.
Lucy Griffiths says:
I live in Canada, and am disgusted by the actions of the ones who bullied Amanda to death. The police have received over 400 tips, and are following them up, as they consider it was a crime. Our Parliament is talking about what can be done to try to stop bullying. Whether they actually do something, I don't know, but something has to be done. Too many children have been bullied until they commit suicide….
Gary Campbell says:
Yup GREAT CANADIAN LAW…
Kill someone get a 7 yesr sentance, out in 5!
Again, Candaina law is a JOKE…. Drop the gloves and beat the creeper!
D.Lee says:
I agree 100%.Even though they put this girl through pure hell. Law enforcement needs this information and they should be dealt with legally!!
Laws enforcement is A JOKE IN CANADA… Only 1 way to handle this….
Drop the gloves and beat the shit outta this guy, I mean even by random chance the useless police do something, he will get smashed everytime he is outta his PC cell to eat or exercise…
So really its a win/win!
I am about 3 and a half mins from the sapperton addy that annonymous gave hmmmmm
I am open for having the guy that is guilty bullied and experience things for what they are.
My fear is that though we can't really trust any Guy Fawkes' mask claiming to be an anonymous member to tell us who is guilty of anything. What if the man reported is innocent and has a family? Another whole innocent life completely ruined.
But if he is really the guilty one, he deserves what is coming.
For once, Anonymous does something meaningful.
Everything they do is absolutely meaningful
The HUGE question, can we stop this from happening again? If so, how?

i got facebook to take down the page the guy made with her nude on it and i reported it to the fbi for child pornography
Born 1980, aged 30 … lost 2 years somewhere. That is the level of care that gets evidence dismissed in courts. The correct reaction to online harassment is not online harassment.
But the correct action to murder is execution? I agree that an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind, But if Anonymous was able to get this information by sitting behind a computer, Why couldn't law enforcement do the same thing?
Because they don't care. Its a closed case. Just like when a 15 year old girl gets raped by several older football players, the local police and coach will lie and fudge evidence in order to protect the "star players".
P.s. Anonymous released information to police about that case also…. again, why should Anonymous have to do the work that the police don't want to do?
Freida Gray says:
What this guy did sounds to me like it was more along the lines of "sextortion" than bullying.
I'm not real sure that Anonymous actually got the right guy.
Have the authorities gone through Amanda's computer to see if the guy is listed as one of her contacts?Did she delete him as a contact ? If she did,how did he continue to get her pictures?
"We aren't going to publish the name of the person "doxed" by Anonymous here. "
From your screenshot alone I found the dox within 30 seconds on google…
If he is 30 / 32 years old and she was 15, is this not grooming?
Chris W. says:
If it is PROVEN this is the guy who pressured a then, 12 year old Amanda Todd,
1 to show her breasts on a webcam, and if he is the one
2 who recorded the camming and made screen shots and if he is the one
3 who cyberstalked her from school to school, threatening to expose her pictures to her schoolmates if,
4 she didn't show him more…
Then, Yes, he should get every kind of justice that is coming to him. There is also jailhouse justice he could have awaiting him IF he is the one. I think cyberbullying will be the least of his problems then =]
Chris W,
A Canadian who has reported several websites with nasty pictures of a little girl who lost her battle with depression. Rest in Peace Amanda
Yeah you can Google this in a few seconds.
Looks fake to me – the word Identity is spelled "Identiy" in the configuration panel that is supposedly the message source. Someone doctored this image. I sure wouldn't trust this source!
She could have just deleted her Facebook account and ignore the bullying online. In my day getting rid of bullies wasn't that easy. They were physically in your face, NOT your Facebook.
I watched her video when a friend posted it on twitter, I was unaware as I watched that she had already commited suicide. It was heartbreaking to watch even before i found out she was dead and it has affected me deeply. I've brushed closely with death through attempted suicide and lost my partner through suicide so my heart goes out to Amanda, her family and her real friends. I want to see the man that started it all brought to justice properly, not bullied by mob mentality as was done to Amanda. The bullying that followed her for years is sickening, wherever she went she couldn't leave it behind. But what of those in the schools she attended? Will they face any repercussions? The mob mentality that led to a physical beating and her drinking bleach. The boy she "got with", did his girlfriend beat him? Did he get mobbed? The bullying was atrocious, physically and mentally. All those involved should be aware that actions have consequences and i sincerely hope they have learned this and will not partake in such behaviour again, but its not a perfect world is it? This world is broken, many will just start a bullying campaign on the next easy victim. A life lost. There are no angels in this world but she did not deserve this
According to her story there was host of people in her face about this.
The perpetrator elicited her classmates into bullying her, and even beat
her. There is more than a handful of people who are responsible for her
death and, therefor, should be punished to the full extent of the law. Accessory
to murder is the first thing that to mind as I viewed her plea for help. Wherever
she went there was no one home and no one to help.
After reading the replies, I have a couple of comments. It must go through the police. How do we know this is even the person that did the crime? It must go through the proper authorities or it means nothing. If the police don't know who 'Anonymous' is there is no connection, but there may be enough information for the police to put together a good enough profile to convince a judge to get a warrant and then maybe a trial and conviction. But illegal tactics as a start will not convince anyone who cares about proper prosecution wouldn't like it if this happened to them (think about it?)
You do wonder why the police doesn't track down whoever put the site up and added the topless picture for child pornography as it was intended to bully or blackmail the person and she was underage. Seems like they use these laws out of context in many situations, but won't use it in a time that will allow the prosecution of a probable sex molester or bully. I realize the pictures themselves are not porn, but the implication is obviously to blackmail or by surreptitiously forcing information out of somebody.
What if the Anonymous people are wrong, as will always be in the minds of clear thinking people, so back to the bottom line is, that it must go to the police. Again, I'd like to ensure that I don't think a nude child is pornography and I don't think they need to be told otherwise, but when it's use to coerces someone to do something, then it's got to be criminal since it's a minor.
I'm also concerned that many people don't understand the court or police processing of crimes and information. It has taken many years in the US to create a protection from the unlawful use of authority by police. This is a protection for the people, unfortunately it's seems to be used too much for the public in releasing many criminals who have a smoking gun in their hands.
Also, if someone reads this could they let me know what 'grooming' is, I'm assuming that it's a British term, and it only brings a couple things in mind, but I don't really know.
Hope I made sense.
Mike Bradford says:
Ummm, I just have one question. How was this man able to bully her? Why couldn't she stop using the social networks that we causing her so much pain? There is a deeper question here. Why are we addicted ?
Muhammad Badi says:
That is the black part of the Internet what makes me sometimes accept some kind of Internet censorship or some keep-an-eye technology. It's not for me, it's all about our teenagers who are impressed by life and are ready to try anything new. Maybe, what I am thinking of this time, is how could a 15-years old girl find drugs?!! that's just a disaster.
I think that twisted guy get arrested and get the longest possible number of years in prison. That's still won't bring that little girl back.
Same kinda things happen in The Netherlands where they call the it Facebook murder. The story is about two girlfriends where the one get bullied via FB. The one payed few euro's to a idiot teenager to kill the other. The court has decided 5 years jail for this girlfriend because she is minor. If this idiot get arrested I wish the Canadian court sentence him/her for live
Kyt says:
I dont care what anyone else wants to say…
I would hug Anonymous if I could.
Katie Donovan says:
When the system breaks, (as it often does), justice must be done. This little girl had no one on her side. The law dropped the ball. A person is dead.
It is good that someone stepped up to defend this person, though it has come too late.
The person ultimately responsible for this outrage will never meet justice because to cops don't give a shit.
I believe this girl's parents, friends and supporters would want her persecutor brought to justice. This will never happen. The person they raised for nearly 15 years is gone from them forever.
You want to talk about vigilante justice? Hell with you. Just wait till its' your daughter; your son. Then tell us about "vigilantism". Until then, eat s*** and die.
Go Anon.
Andrew Beveridge says:
RIP Amanda
Katai says:
I was bullied during the times when Facebook didn't exist.I'm glad I am not a teenager in Facebook era,people love to spread malicious rumours (It happened to me in my school) sometimes it go haywire ,out of control and people who really have no idea who is the victim or what they are being accused of,join that bandwagon and start to humiliate them because it's fun and 'everybody' does it.How can you not feel crazy when 20 people say you are stupid and shit,even your head starts to do the same,you can't run away too far because your brain will bully you.
And kids often are too ashamed to tell their parents,why?They feel like it's their fault,they don't want to show them how weak they are,or maybe parents often told them 'it's not that important' when they had problems before ,for parents young people's problems are often downgraded and view as minor ones when in reality they are as much important as your constant stress at work or your boss being unfair with you.
If you survive bullying,it will not stop with your graduation – it's a scar you carry for life
Low self esteem,apathy,addictions,social phobia…
Raymond Chen says:
The main problem of cyber bullying is it is really hard to track down we don't know who did it and could take years
Amanda Todd, I read and saw your video. I am personally in my final stages of achieving my Masters degree in Homeland Security, with details upon emergency management and computer forensics at American Public University. I will do my best to find you hurt you. I have children myself and I would never allow them to be hurt by someone online, a cyber-bully/harasser/predator. I wish you the best above, and I hope to be one that can make a difference down below. RIP Amanda.__Sincerely,__Bill Furry
Django says:
why the stylish black & white? why the "bob dylan" card thing? why the music? this looks all very narcissistic to me… don't get me wrong, it's tragic for sure, but we shouldn't reduce this whole thing to a silly "big bad wolf" and "innocent girlie" theme here… it's way more complex.
There is a horrible misspelling. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at, but the members of anonymous are intelligent. I doubt this is from them.
Gitesh says:
Ya ya.. this is all very bad.. i am also currently going through same thing.. i know how i am fighting back.. its all horrible,.. i this situation person cant think.. i know its very easy for others to say "move on".. but no.. we know from inner sole.. what we are going through..
Why is Anonymous getting blamed for the despicable actions of the tormentor.
Anonymous did not use waterboarding or any form of torture to acquire the information they did. You say they should have given it to the police… I say the police should have already had it and done something about it.
Just like when Anon turned info into the police about a pedophile, which led to a conviction… Why are Anonymous having to do the job of the police? And then getting attacked for it?
In the USA, You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a Police Officer than by a terrorist… Yet the government labels Anonymous as "cyber terrorists".
Maybe if the police did their job properly, Anonymous wouldn't have to interject.
Two girls arrested after one allegedly brags on Facebook about cyber bullying suicide victim

Online safety is our shared responsibility
Two Canadian men charged in connection with suicide victim's alleged cyber-bullying


Students in any engineering major may choose to minor in automotive engineering and manufacturing. Three curriculum tracks are available: industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and car team tracks. The courses required for the minor may require prerequisites that will not count toward the student's major or toward the minor.
Approval of department and car team advisor required.


Orange County Schools Educators Association (OCSEA) is making their case for competitive wages and health benefits by holding their first-ever rally for county educators in front of the Orange County Department of Education. The association is arguing for a student-centered negotiations approach and wants changes that will ensure service of the next generation of teachers for the county's special schools and programs in a highly-competitive educator labor market.
To do so, OCSEA plans to confront OCDE administrators who have spent years stockpiling funding that was meant for programs, students, and classrooms.
OCSEA President Marlene Simmons and their newly-constituted organizing team planned the rally as a first step in communicating that desire for a fair settlement. "Honoring the hard work of educators by ensuring they have a comparable contract will also help draw the next generation of educators to serve in our schools" she explained.
Scores of members answered the Monday call to stand up for one another and participate in the rally. OCSEA's volunteers lined the parking lot and marched in front of OCDE offices, singing songs and reminding department officials that their latest offer to place higher healthcare costs onto OCSEA members will not stand.
Organizers were pleased with the number of members who participated and are planning further activities in advance of their goal to bring more resources and opportunities to county schools, educators, and most importantly, their students.

Inside Pediatrics, Nephrology
Becoming the Leaders in Treating Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome
It is one of the most challenging congenital kidney conditions pediatric nephrologists see. Called congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS), it is an extremely rare genetic disease that affects the glomerular filtration system of the kidneys, leading to tremendous loss of protein through the urine. The result is extensive edema, skin breakdown and impaired respiration.
And that's just the beginning, said Daniel Feig, M.D., Ph.D., the Margaret M. Porter Endowed Chair in Pediatric Nephology at Children's of Alabama and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)."These kids are very susceptible to infections because so many immune chemicals are lost in the urine," he said. They are also prone to blood clots because of low water volume and poor circulation, which can severely damage other organs, leading to bowel infarction and stroke. "They also become very malnourished because they can't take in enough protein to keep up with the losses through the urine," he said.
Symptoms usually appear by 2 months of age. "But because this is a structural problem in the kidney filters, there is no medicine that stops it," he said. Early management involves trying to replace lost protein, "but that's usually not enough." Second-line management includes medications to slow kidney function, "but now we're walking a tightrope of impaired kidney function to reduce protein losses."
Eventually, the kidneys need to be removed so the child can receive enough nourishment. That means dialysis until they can receive a transplant.
"They're a challenge," he said. "But over the years, we've had very good success in moving down the pathway and getting them transplanted and they do well." Because the condition is so rare, most pediatric nephrologists only see one or two patients their entire career. But word of Children's program has spread, and today the team is treating patients from throughout the south.
"As a program we are happy to take care of these kids and share our expertise with other programs," Feig said. One challenge has been reimbursement since health insurance may not cover out-of-state care. "We're negotiating with other states and our own internal services to accept what we can get and then just take care of the kids, he said, adding, "A big shout out to the flexibility of the institution to allow us to do this."
The goal is to build a center of excellence for children with CNS that demonstrates not only superior outcomes, he said, but cost savings.
Becoming a referral center also allows greater clinical research into the disease, Feig said. Clinical trials for new therapies are difficult to conduct because there are so few children with the disease. But Children's is slowly building a repository of biometric information and tissue for future research. "We don't have a faculty researcher right now who is focused on CNS, but as we continue to recruit faculty that's an untapped opportunity." All the challenges of caring for these kids, he said, is worth it once they get a transplant. "They grow and develop and play just like all other small children. It's a boon to these families who go through this terrible neonatal course and then get their kids back."
