Year: 2010 Length: 14:14 Access: YouTube Summary: In this talk entitled, "Connecting with Communities," sociologist Danah Boyd discusses the importance of data transparency, but argues that data are not enough. Even more important is the ability to interpret data. Boyd discusses the increasing tendency of data to be spun in order to suit political agendas and calls for expanded information literacy in order to fight against those who spin data solely for political advantage. The clip would be useful for an introductory sociology course, as it might be a way of illustrating the usefullness of analytical skills. The clip might also be useful for teaching a class on the sociology of knowledge because Boyd explains how the meaning behind statistics is itself actively contested and not simply given. Note, this clip might work well with Hans Rosling's talk at Ted, where he notes that empirical data often provide insights which contradict common sense. Submitted By: Lester Andrist

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
