Appeal says juror sent 'tweets' during $12.6M case
Fri Mar 13, 12:07 pm ET
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A building materials company and its owner have appealed a $12.6 million verdict against them, alleging that a juror was posting related messages on Twitter.com while hearing the case.
The motion filed Thursday seeking a new trial claims the juror sent eight messages — or "tweets" — to the micro-blogging Web site via his cellular phone. One read in part: "oh and nobody buy Stoam. Its bad mojo and they'll probably cease to Exist, now that their wallet is 12m lighter."
Another describing what "Juror Jonathan" did today, read: "I just gave away TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS of somebody else's money."
The motion filed by the lawyer for Russell Wright and his company, Stoam Holdings, alleges the juror researched the case and communicated with others outside the jury. Wright did not appear in court when the case was heard in Washington County in late February.
The jury awarded the money to Mark Deihl and William Nystrom, who invested in Wright's company. The company claimed its building material, Stoam, combines the insulation qualities of foam with the strength of steel.
"It was nothing more than a Ponzi scheme," said Deihl's attorney, Greg Brown. "(Bernie) Madoff is a very comparable case."
A new message posted Friday by a Johnathan Powell of Fayetteville read: "Well, I'm off to see a judge. Hope they don't lock me under the jail, and forget about me for four days."
Powell did not respond to messages for comment. A clerk for the judge said no hearings were scheduled over the matter Friday.
I actually think this twitter thing is kind of cool. I don't know a lot about it though.

Skiles to Villanueva: No halftime tweets
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE -- It might be the next big thing in online social networking, but Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles isn't a big fan of Twitter.
At least not when one of his players is posting from the Bucks' locker room during halftime of a critical game.
Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva got a talking-to from Skiles after the coach learned Villanueva posted a message to his Twitter feed -- a "tweet" -- from his mobile phone during halftime of Sunday's home victory over the Boston Celtics.
"We made a point to Charlie and the team that it's nothing we ever want to happen again," Skiles said after practice Tuesday. "You know, [we] don't want to blow it out of proportion. But anything that gives the impression that we're not serious and focused at all times is not the correct way we want to go about our business."
Using the screen name "CV31" -- Villanueva's initials and jersey number -- Villanueva posted the following message during halftime Sunday:
"In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up."
And he did. Villanueva finished with a team-high 19 points as the Bucks, who are trying desperately to hold on to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, beat the Celtics 86-77.
Villanueva said Tuesday that he didn't think the post was a big deal at the time but now understands that posting to a Web site at halftime can create the impression he isn't focused on the game.
"That wasn't the case at all, because I was very into the game -- as you can tell, the way I played," Villanueva said. "But you can interpret it two different ways. You can look at it like, 'OK, he's definitely going to step up' versus, 'Oh, he's really not into the game, he's not paying attention.' But that wasn't the case at all. That wasn't my intention at all."
Twitter allows its users to send short, text message-style notes to a mass audience and is rising in popularity among athletes, politicians and celebrities.
NBA star Shaquille O'Neal (screen name: "THE-REAL-SHAQ") occasionally uses the site to give away tickets to fans. Cyclist Lance Armstrong ("lancearmstrong") provides updates on the frequency of his anti-doping tests and posts pictures from his training rides.
Villanueva took athletes' tweets to a new level Sunday.
But by Sunday night, he made it clear in subsequent posts that he was getting "some beef" about his post.
"The halftime twitt actually motivated me," he posted. "That's why I did it, plus of course to keep you guys in the loop of some live action."
Skiles said Tuesday that he didn't necessarily think Villanueva's post was a sign that he wasn't paying attention -- but he knows some people could take it that way.
"I think a reasonable person could look at that either way," Skiles said. "And I'm a pretty reasonable guy. And so the answer is no, not necessarily. But I also know from the comments I've gotten from some people in the game that there could be people who think it's a sign. We just want to distance ourselves, that's all."
Skiles said Villanueva would not be fined for the incident but said it was a "no-brainer" that players shouldn't be doing such things from the locker room any more.
"My personal opinion is, it doesn't have any place in the locker room," Skiles said. "The locker room's a private place for the players, a sanctuary for the players. But once you walk out of the locker room or whatever, I'm not into getting into guys' personal lives."
Villanueva said he has been on Twitter for about two months and enjoys interacting with fans. He had more than 1,600 "followers" subscribing to his feed as of Tuesday afternoon.
Still, he seemed surprised by the attention he was drawing with the Bucks preparing for another tough opponent Wednesday night.
"We're talking about Twitter here," Villanueva said. "We should be worried about Orlando."
So that's what you do with those suckers, you tweet.

Just ate some chili and a grilled cheese.
Pretty tired right now. Still want a beer.
I think it's completely understandable that the Bucks and/or any other business would not want an employee "tweeting" during the halftime break, considering that during halftime they are still working.
IF a business tried to stop me "tweeting" during my unpaid lunch break then I would be pissed and take the matter further.
Charlie was at work - he should be working, not posting some shit.
I agree 100%.Quote:

It's their time.
Ha, solid. Yeah, this whole thing falls apart pretty quick without that option, eh?Quote:

I went skiiing yesterday and I had one of the better days of my life. The boy is home from college, I tried my new skis ( they're sort of a reflection of me), the snow was great, clear sunny day, family, etc. Lake Tahoe in the background. Beautiful day!
Ballin'!
I didn't even feel like a Dad guy yesterday. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Tahoe is wondering how college kids can sleep til 2pm.
When I was in college, I sometimes missed the beginning of the noon college football games because I was still sleeping. I would stay up until 4 or 5 on a regular basis. Four years later, I can't stay up passed 10:30 and I can't sleep passed 6:30 in the morning. I never thought I would get old and lame that fast.
^Dad guy
I've been old and lame forever -- awake at 5-6am, asleep by 12-1am since I was a toddler. I can stay up later, but it's not natural for me. I'll end up taking afternoon naps when I do so and totally fuck up my sleep schedule.Quote:

Tahoe is now acutely aware that his college boy is growing up.
He was supposed to be home last friday, but decided to hang out on campus 1 more night and leave Saturday. Then he dropped a couple friends off in east bay and decided to hang out there Saturday night.
Went skiing with the old folks, slept all day Tuesday, left last night for the East Bay and a concert, back home Friday to hang with his old HS friends, he'll sleep all day Saturday if he makes it home and leaves Sunday for School. lol
I loved those days when I was a youngin.
LMAO - you post 24/7 - I don't know what your wife and kids think about this but I bet your boss would fucking kill you.Quote:

I think "bag of glass" might have been one of the only times I've ever laughed at Dan Ackroyd.
Maybe that should be in "Things I don't get".
snl;dw
I mean, who's writing this shit? You can tell the actors don't even really believe in it.Quote:

Is it just me or does it seem like they re-air the same episodes every week? Every time I look it's an episode with Paris Hilton or Justin Timberlake hosting.
...well, it is E!

Curtis Granderson joins Twitter Nation, keeps busy during season
Posted by James Schmehl | MLive.com April 06, 2009 14:03PM
Our boy, Curtis Granderson, is going to be a busy man this season. Despite hitting leadoff and starting in center, he's also working hard for his charity, co-financing his Chicago sports bar and serving as Major League Baseball's overseas ambassador.
And, as of today, he's Twittering for us, too.
Twitter.com/detroit_tigers, April 6: CG28: Hey everyone. Curtis Granderson here. I will be Twittering all season on this page. Check back to see my posts!
Granderson has also found time to write a sports blog for Yahoo! Sports on Big League Stew throughout the season.
When does this guy have time to eat?
Despite Granderson's packed schedule, he still appears to have his priorities in order.
Big League Stew, April 6: There's always such a build up for Opening Day. We've been at spring training for two long months, getting ourselves ready and trying to improve from the previous year. We are at a point that we are ready to see if we did enough in the offseason and if we have actually improved.
