Flagship Denies Staff Exodus, Admits Hellgate Needed "A Couple More Months in the Oven"Responding to rumors of widespread staff departures, Hellgate: London (PC) developer Flagship Studios said that the company is fully staffed and at work on several upcoming projects.
Flagship CVO David Brevik dismissed the rumors as exaggerated and inaccurate, noting that the company currently employs over 100 workers at its two studios, and has seen less than 10% turn-over in its workforce.
"As is typical in the industry, after a game is released some people naturally want to work on something else and they leave the company to do so," Brevik said in a statement posted on the Hellgate forums.
Reports of a staff exodus stemmed from a blog post written by Flagship programmer Guy Somberg, who claimed that members of the staff were leaving "in droves" after the poor reception of Hellgate: London. Brevik acknowledged the game's tumultuous launch, but said that Flagship's outlook on the title has since improved.
"We will be the first to admit that Hellgate: London did launch with some problems. The game would certainly have benefited from a couple more months in the oven," Brevik added. "Thankfully, after some very hard work... the game is much better now and we believe in the future of Hellgate.
Flagship's San Francisco studio is currently working on ongoing content updates for Hellgate: London, while its Seattle branch is developing the free-to-play MMO Mythos.
"We are putting all of our efforts into these projects and I think it will show in the upcoming Hellgate Abyss Chronicles," Brevik concluded.

Every once in awhile someone will ask me why I've never read Moneyball. The answer I give often is that if they'd made a movie about Whitey Herzog and called it Moneyball I'd watch it a dozen times. The idea that the Oakland A's discovered how to outsmart the competition and that no one had thought of it ridiculous.
Baseball isn't a game of revelations, it's a game of ebbs and flows. Earl Weaver's three run homer has roamed the earth as the dominant style for many years now, but someday (hell maybe it's happening now, I don't follow the game like I used to) an owner will build a massive ballpark and the general manager and manager will hire jackrabbits and have 14 men pitching staffs with equal parts lefty and righty. Hell, maybe all the hitters will switch-hit and steal bases too, just for fun.
The game goes in cycles, so the crime of Moneyball is putting forth that someone was so smart, so far ahead of the other craniums, that they could outsmart the dummies by such a wide margin as to win forever. That's Moneyball, a giant fantasy with an actual man claiming credit. Read the book? Watch the movie? Why on earth would I do that?
I have a fun game for all of us to follow. At some point in the next few weeks or months, the Edmonton Oilers are going to lose a quality young player for very little. I'm pretty certain it'll happen, since Linus Omark is wasting away in OKC while Gagner and Paajarvi struggle mightily in Edmonton. The rebuild has given way to contention, and with it patience has no place in the playbook.
So, here's the contest: guess the player lost, the payment and the team said player is going to later this season. I'll buy the winner lunch.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Lighter than air refers to materials (usually gases) that are buoyant in air because they have densities lower than that of air (about 1.2 kg/m3, 1.2 g/L). Some of these gases are used as lifting gases in lighter-than-air aircraft, which include free balloons, moored balloons, and airships, to make the whole craft, on average, lighter than air.
(Heavier-than-air aircraft include airplanes, gliders and helicopters).
Hot air is frequently used in recreational ballooning. Hot air is lighter than air at ambient temperature.
Neon is lighter than air and will lift a balloon. However, it is relatively rare on Earth, expensive, and is among the heavier of the lifting gases.
The gaseous state of water is lighter than air, and has successfully been used as a lifting gas. It is generally impractical due to high boiling point and condensation.
Ammonia has sometimes been used to fill weather balloons. Due to its relatively high boiling point (compared to helium and hydrogen), ammonia could potentially be refrigerated and liquified aboard an airship to reduce lift and add ballast (and returned to a gas to add lift and reduce ballast).
Methane (the chief component of natural gas) is sometimes used as a lift gas when hydrogen and helium are not available. It has the advantage of not leaking through balloon walls as rapidly as the small-moleculed hydrogen and helium. (Many lighter-than-air balloons are made of aluminized plastic that limits such leakage; hydrogen and helium leak rapidly through latex balloons.)
Hydrogen and helium are the most commonly used lift gases. Although helium is twice as heavy as (diatomic) hydrogen, they are both so much lighter than air that this difference is inconsequential. Hydrogen has about 8% more buoyancy than helium.
In a practical dirigible design the difference is significant, making a 50% difference in the fuel carrying capacity of the dirigible and hence increasing its range significantly.[1]
Helium has an advantage, however, in that combustion is impossible, whereas hydrogen is extremely flammable.
Nitrogen gas is about 3% lighter than air, insufficient for common use as a lifting gas.
Hydrogen fluoride is impractical to be used as a lifting gas because it is highly reactive and extremely toxic.
Boron can be combined with hydrogen, but Borane (boron hydride) forms dimers and clusters rather than a monomer. Diborane is a little bit lighter than air, but will explode spontaneously when mixed with air.
In 2002, aerogel held the Guinness World Record for the least dense (lightest) solid.[2] Aerogel is mostly air because its structure is like that of a highly vacuous sponge.[3] Therefore the lightness and low density is due primarily to the large proportion of air within the solid and not the silicon construction materials. Taking advantage of this, SEAgel, in the same family as aerogel but made from agar, can be filled with helium gas to create a solid which floats or hangs in the air.[4]
In 2012, discovery of aerographite was announced, breaking the record for the least dense material at only 0.2 mg/cm3 (0.2 kg/m3).[5][6]
Note that the above solids do not float in air because the hollow spaces in them become filled with air. No lighter-than-air matrix or shell containing a hard vacuum has ever been constructed. See Vacuum airship.

Calendar Data Migration Issues
Meetings with external users (non-UC employees)
Some meeting owners include names and email addresses for external users in their CruzTime meeting. External (non-UCSC employees or affiliates) attendees will not migrate with the meeting.
Meetings scheduled by someone who is no longer at UCSC
When we migrate meetings from CruzTime, we can only export the ones associated with current calendar users. As a result, meetings on your calendar (past or in the future) that were created by someone who is no longer working at UCSC will not migrate to Google.
Meetings scheduled by someone who removed themselves from the invitee list
In CruzTime, it is possible to schedule a meeting and then remove yourself as an invitee. When this is done, the meeting can not be migrated to Google Calendar. We can speculate that these meetings are created on behalf of someone else and there is no intent to attend - some people indicate this by declining their own meeting and others by removing themselves. It is this latter case that causes some lost events. Before the migration, you can add yourself back in to a meeting if you use the CruzTime "in-tray" and look for meetings you have scheduled.
Another interesting byproduct - if you do decline a meeting in CruzTime, Google Calendar will show that you accepted it.
Repeating Meetings
- Repeating meetings are being migrated but they may not appear as part of a series.
- The "when" field will sometimes just have the single occurrence, while others have the entire list of occurrences. It this bothers you, just delete the meeting and recreate it.
- The only way to view all events in a series is to search on the meeting title. In CruzTime, the full list of meetings in the series was included in the meeting details window.
Extra meetings on your calendar
If your UCSC email address is associated with a resource (rooms) or a group calendar, meetings for that resource will appear on your Google Calendar (for migrated meetings only). Going forward, when you create new meetings, this will not be the case.
Attendee Status
Our migration process forces the organizer to show as accept. As a result, if you declined a meeting you organized in CruzTime, it will translate to accept in Google Calendar during the conversion.
Access Control - Rights to edit or view other people's calendars
There is no exact match between the access rights in CruzTime as compared to Google Calendar. Variations of designate rights in CruzTime provide a subset of "full designate rights".
- To error on the side of caution, Google Calendar users will find they have designate rights on only those calendars for which the check box "Full Designate Rights " was checked. As a result, you may be able to create normal events on someone else's calendar in CruzTime (but not personal or confidential meetings) - and you will find that you do not have similar rights in Google Calendar. Just ask the calendar owner to give you the Google Calendar "Make Changes to Events" permission to you.
- Meetings marked private by the calendar owner are visible (meeting details) to anyone who has "Make changes to events" permission on that calendar. Partial designate rights in CruzTime allowed someone to provide access to normal meetings, but not private or confidential meetings. The work around is to have the owner create a secondary calendar for this kind of thing, knowing that their designates will have access to every meeting on their primary calendar.
Resources - Conference Rooms, Vehicles, Equip.
Resources in CruzTime will migrate to Google Calendar and most meetings booked on those resources transfer over (ones that don't include meetings scheduled by employees no longer at UCSC).
Resource Info (owner, size of room, type of resource)
CruzTime allows descriptive data associated with a resource, Google Calendar does not.
Resource scheduling behavior isn't as expected
In Google Calendar, if you choose a resource that you aren't allowed to schedule it lets you schedule the meeting. Then the resource automatically declines and you receive an email notice of the declined resource. CruzTime doesn't let you schedule it in the first place.
If you choose a time for a resource you do have rights to and it is already booked, it schedules it anyway, (at least from your point of view - you eventually get an email from the resource saying, in effect, "you can't have it").
Lack of in-tray
This is a window that shows up when you start the CruzTime desktop client. Most people change their settings so their in-tray doesn't display. It is a summary of meetings and notes that have not been dealt with, along with sections for those you have accepted or declined. There is no calendar in-tray in Google Calendar. The agenda view in Google Calendar provides some of this functionality.
Time Zone and individual meetings
While you can specify a time zone for a Google Calendar, you cannot designate meetings within that same calendar with another time zone.

Baseball and the CFL are both going to have to wait for Luke Willson.
The Rice Owls tight end's sights are firmly on the NFL after the Seattle Seahawks selected the native of LaSalle, Ont., in the fifth round, 158th overall, of the league's annual draft. The six-foot-five, 251-pound Willson was the lone Canadian selected in the draft, which began Thursday night with the first round and continued Friday night with the second and third rounds.
The final four rounds were held Saturday.
And Willson, who was selected in the fifth round of last year's CFL draft by the Grey Cup-champion Argos, admitted he was getting more than a little antsy waiting to hear from an NFL club.
"I was getting pretty anxious watching it with my family," he said. "Honestly, I feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders ... It's a huge relief.
"I had got a phone call at pick No. 157 and when I answered the phone I saw a Seattle area code. I answered it and it was (GM John Schneider) and I actually gave the thumbs up and my family and friends erupted. To be honest, I actually didn't even watch my selection on TV because I already knew and, besides, I was shaking I was so excited."
After the draft, Regina Rams defensive tackle Stefan Charles signed as a free agent with the Tennessee Titans. Contract details were not immediately available, however, a source said Charles received a five-figure signing bonus.
The University of Regina tweeted Saturday night that Rams long-snapper Jorgen Hus had signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Rams.
Charles was among a number of Canadians who garnered NFL interest leading up to the draft but weren't selected. Like Charles, defensive end Ben D'Aguilar and offensive lineman Matt Sewell of the McMaster Marauders and Eastern Michigan defensive lineman Andy Mulumba can sign with NFL clubs as free agents. All five are also eligible for next month's CFL draft.
Willson said being drafted was "very surreal," and added he was having a difficult time putting it into perspective Saturday.
"My mind is racing and racing and racing," he said with a chuckle. "I've got a million thoughts going through it, I can't really pinpoint one.
"I'm going to enjoy the day but (Sunday) morning I'll be getting ready. I know I can't be celebrating too long because I want to go make the team and go there and contribute."
Willson played first base for the Canadian national baseball team in 2008. He hit cleanup at the world junior championship event in Edmonton ahead of Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., the Toronto Blue Jays third baseman who was the No. 3 batter for Canada.
Willson signed with the Blue Jays in 2011 and went to extended spring training with the club before his senior season at Rice.
The left-handed hitter had 33 catches with the Owls for a team-high 425 yards and three TDs in 2010. He began his final two seasons at Rice on the Mackey Award watch list as one of the NCAA's top tight ends to watch but injuries limited him to nine catches for 126 yards and two TDs in 2012.
However, Willson performed well during Rice's pro day, posting a 40-yard dash time of 4.46 seconds, a 38-inch vertical jump, broad jump of 10 feet two inches, short shuttle in 4.28 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.04 seconds. He also lifted 225 pounds 23 times in the bench press and all of those totals would have been among the top-10 in tights ends at the NFL combine.
Willson wasn't surprised to be selected by the Seahawks, who were among the teams he worked for prior to the draft. Willson said even though he'll be playing in the NFL, he doesn't plan on changing his approach to the game when he reports to mini-camp next month.
"I'm a prototypical tight end," he said. "I'll work hard, block, run and catch passes, nothing fancy.
"My attitude and approach to the game is hard-working, I respect the game and want to go there to compete."
However, Willson is certainly grateful to be joining a franchise that's on the rise.
"It's a huge blessing," he said. "It's a great organization, a great team that was a few seconds away from the NFC championship last year.
"It's a young team and I can't wait to be a part of it. I can't wait to get out there."
Seattle has traditionally done well in the fifth round, having previously taken All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman (2011) and strong safety Kam Chancellor (2010) there. Other notable fifth-round picks include special-teams standout Don Dufek (1976), guard Edwin Bailey (1981), Pro Bowl kick-returner Bobby Joe Edmonds (1986), kick-returner Charlie Rogers (1999), Pro Bowl special-teams player Alex Bannister (2001) and defensive tackle Rocky Bernard (2002).
Willson becomes the second Canadian on Seattle's roster. He joins punter Jon Ryan, a 31-year-old Regina native and former Regina Ram star who began his pro career with the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2004.
Also on Seattle's roster is standout cornerback Brandon Browner, a former Calgary Stampeder.
Willson must still sign a contract with Seattle and even as a fifth-round pick is looking at a decent payday. Running back Chris Rainey from Florida, selected in the fifth round, 159th overall last year by Pittsburgh, signed a four-year, $2.282-million deal that also featured a $182,000 signing bonus before being waived in January after being arrested and charged with one count of simple battery after an altercation with a woman over a cellphone.
After posting a 7-9 record in 2011, the Seahawks were 11-5 last season -- their first winning campaign since '07 -- under rookie quarterback Russell Wilson to finish second in the NFC West standings. Seattle defeated Washington 24-14 in the NFC wildcard game and led the Atlanta Falcons with 30 seconds remaining in the divisional contest before dropping a heart-breaking 30-28 playoff decision.
Willson comes from an athletic family.
His father, Mike, played football at the University of Windsor as well as baseball while his older twin brothers Eric and Greg played football at the University of Western Ontario.
Luke Willson majored in philosophy and political science at Rice with a business minor.
Willson was the second Rice tight end to be drafted this year. On Friday, teammate Vance McDonald was selected in the second round by San Francisco.
Willson capped his career at Rice with three catches for 46 yards and a TD in the school's win over Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. He served as a team captain last season and left the school with 78 career catches for 986 yards and nine TDs.
For the last four years Willson juggled his responsibilities as a student-athlete and says he's ready to become a full-time football player.
"It's been a long process but it's been a lot of fun," he said. "Honestly now, it will just give you more time to do football.
"I'll approach the game the same way. I'm sure there different aspects to it but I'll have to experience that, learn how things are in the NFL and adapt."

HOPKINTON - The State of Rhode Island has submitted an application to the federal government to install toll booths on both sides of Interstate 95 in between Exits 1 and 2 in Hopkinton.
By MARTHA SMITH
Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō ItŌĆÖs safe to say that Dave Payne, executive director and board president of the Quonset Air Museum, is like a kid awaiting Santa Claus.
For Payne and other devotees of aircraft history and warfare, this coming weekend will represent a sort of snapshot of World War II. Six vintage planes owned by the Texas Flying Legends Museum will arrive on Friday and stay for the weekend.
School is less than a week away. You know what that means: homework, bagged lunches, hallway gossip, sports and more. But before the school year starts, you need to get there. Pick up a copy of Wednesday's The Narragansett Times before it's off the stands for the Narragansett school bus schedules. See Friday's issue for the South Kingstown bus schedules.
In case Hurricane Irene knocks the Rhode Island coastline, South Kingstown has posted an updated evacuation map. See Friday's newspaper for more information on evacuation and hurricane preparation plans or check back here at ricentral.com
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - According to the Town of South Kingstown, a mandatory evacuation along the South Shore coastline, Narrow River, and other low-lying areas is anticipated. Persons in these areas should be preparing to seek shelter with family and friends.
Once a formal evacation declaration is issued, the South Kingstown High School will serve as the Town's main emergency shelter; located at 215 Columbia Street, Wakefield, RI 02879. The Animal Shelter on Asa Pond Road (789-5515) is available if you need emergency shelter for your animal; current vaccination records are required.
With winds gusting at 120 mph, category 3 Hurricane Irene is heading towards the East Coast this weekend. As she plows through the Bahamas and sets her sights on the US, The Narragansett Times has all the information to keep you safe from Irene's fury. Pick up a copy of Friday's paper with its extensive coverage of what your town is doing to prepare for the storm.
As a magnitude 5.9 earthquake hit Virginia Tuesday afternoon, shock waves rang throughout the East Coast, sending tremors across Rhode Island and causing government agencies across the country and state to evacuate.
It's often said that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it and, for most historians, one of the greatest source of knowledge about past times comes in the form of cemeteries and graveyards.
You can learn a lot from a quick tour of a historic cemetery but, sadly, a new state law has forced towns around Rhode Island to take care of their own cemetery's maintenance issues and it's causing many to become overlooked and ignored.
Case in point: Exeter.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō While friends and classmates are still in the process of figuring out where they want to spend their college academic careers, South KingstownŌĆÖs Olivia Mattyasovszky enters the 2011-12 school year without having to worry about her selection.
In this Wednesday's issue of The Narragansett Times, local towns are looking to make changes as the Narragansett schools plan to get new athletic fields and the South Kingstown Traffic Committee investigates options of a parking ban at town parking lots. Also, readers can find out how Wakefield based Applied Science Associates helped save crew members on the capsized Rambler 100 boat in Ireland.

Kacey Musgraves has a few music trends she'd like to see die out sooner rather than later, including the current epidemic of country songs about trucks.
She tells British GQ , "Anyone singing about trucks, in any form, in any song, anywhere, literally just stop -- nobody cares! It's not fun to listen to."
Kacey's also burnt out on the electronic pop music trend dubstep, as heard in hits by Rihanna and Britney Spears . She says, "I thought dubstep was cool for two seconds -- but that can go away now too. It sounds like a malfunction of some kind."
As for the ban on truck songs, we're sure Kacey will make an exception for Kip Moore 's "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck." Kip and Kacey are hitting the road together on Lady Antebellum 's Take Me Downtown tour this November.

By Bill Walsh, The Washington Post
Um, are you sure you want to do this? Copy editing isn't nearly as great a career as one might be led to believe. Then again, I find it hard to imagine doing anything else. If you think you might feel the same way (and you like the idea of working from 3 till midnight), read on.

|Broadcasters: Top 8 Ways To Sound Natural Reading From A Script
By Susan Berkley
The biggest mistake script readers make is getting so engrossed in correctly saying the words on the page, they forget to communicate with the human beings on the other side of the paper! They sound stilted, boring and put every one to sleep.
Don't let that happen to you. Here are 8 of my broadcaster's tips to help you sound great:

|Do You Need a Graduate Degree in Journalism?
By Walden Siew
Walden Siew, a reporter for Reuters, is a 1995 graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.
So you're thinking about getting a graduate degree in journalism. In that case -- if you've done your basic reporting -- you're probably getting a lot of contradictory advice.
The crusty city editor or beat reporter is probably telling you it's a waste of time. "Graduate degree in journalism! You learn everything on the job," a Chicago Sun-Times reporter growled at me long ago. Thanks for the advice, buddy, but his sentiments came too late. I happened to meet him while on a treasure hunt that Northwestern University assigned to their fresh-faced J-school students to learn about the joys of digging through public records.
So, when I say J-school is not a waste of time, well, to say otherwise would be to invalidate a year of my life and more than $15,000 in tuition and expenses.
But besides that, I also happen to believe it's true. Here's why:
1. Experience. The great luxury of graduate school is the chance to work on a variety of beats -- a freedom few reporters have once entrenched in their job. I got to cover state government in Springfield (IL), Chicago politics, business news and also research then-emerging media companies such as America Online. The top J-schools also typically have good instruction on computer-assisted reporting, international programs or specialty training. They often have the latest equipment, which may spoil you. Accustomed to high-speed Internet-access, I was shocked to find Stone Age-era computers at my first newspaper job out of school.
One caveat: If you have experience in newspapers or an undergraduate degree in journalism, grad school may be redundant for you. That's a familiar complaint of some J-school students who did come in with more experience. Otherwise, it can be a great opportunity for discovery.
2. Learn From The Best. Look for schools that can boast journalists with impressive credentials. Get experience you don't get at a newspaper job. Any specialized training will help you down the road, if not immediately at your first job. Pay less attention to the location of the school and more attention to quality of instructors. J-school should give you the opportunity to meet and learn from experts in the field.
3. Networking. There's a long list of those who have tread the path before you; it's remarkable how often you cross paths. It does help. But besides the networking, J-schools attract a lot of quality people from diverse backgrounds, ranging from former lawyers and MBAs to the stereotypical Woodward and Bernstein wannabes. Learn from students, journalists and professors who you admire, and keep in touch. Avoid those you don't.
4. Alumni Services. Along with networking, alumni services often can tell you about new job openings, journalism seminars and the latest trends in your field.
Here's the other side of the story.
1. Cost. Enough said.
2. Experience. Most of what you learn in any formal training is rarely used in "the real world." That old Sun-Times reporter was right in that you probably will learn most of what you need to know on the job. But if we extend that logic, why go to college, or even high school? However, if you know you want to be a sports reporter and have landed your first job at the local paper, you probably are on the best path to getting your dream job.
3. Pay. While a J-school degree may be impressive, it doesn't usually pay off when negotiating a salary or raise. Most newspapers and broadcast jobs pay by experience, and this is especially so for unionized companies. Just another consideration.
Last Advice: Graduate school is a huge investment, both in time and money. Before embarking, make sure you are fairly committed to becoming a journalist. How? If you don't have a lot of experience, get an internship. Freelance stories. Get your feet wet before you take the plunge. Don't go to grad school because you didn't get into law school or don't have anything better to do. Good luck!

|Freelance Writing: 10 Tips to Keep in Mind
|By Monique I. Cuvelier
Monique Cuvelier is a freelance writer based in Boston, Mass. She has written for numerous publications, including Smart Computing/PC Novice, Britannica.com, Family Software Magazine, Motoring and Leisure, Time Out, Aquent Magazine, Portera, CFO Magazine, EYE Magazine, and Apogee Photo Magazine. She is the author of "Consumer Guide's Best Web Sites for Jobs."
With luck, pluck, and skin as thick as whale blubber, you can be a freelance writer. If you're persistent enough and the stars are smiling down on you, seeing your name in print isn't as inaccessible as you might think. But serendipity and talent will take you only so far. You'll need to learn freelancing's own brand of etiquette and adopt a little business sense to succeed. Here are 10 important points to keep in mind when launching your freelance writing career.
1. Network. Freelancing is lonely work, and it's easy to lose touch with other writers. Making friends in the biz, however, can be the best career move you can make. Join some associations like the National Writers Union or correspond with members of a writer's e-mail list to meet people in your area. Besides patting your back when you've done well, friends can pass newspaper and magazine leads to you.
2. Know your rights. Publishing rights are one of the most confusing aspects of freelancing, but it's one of the most important to understand. If a publisher owns the right to your copy, that means you can't sell it anywhere else – some contracts even bar you from writing again on the same topic or demand that you sign away rights for articles already published. In a writer's paradise, you'd retain all rights, allowing you to resell an article to as many magazines or newspapers as will buy it.
Here's a short rundown of rights commonly sold by freelancers, but study other resources for a more comprehensive understanding: Electronic Rights: A publication may publish your work in any electronic medium, from Web sites to CD-ROMs. First Serial Rights: A publication may publish your article for the first time in any periodical, but you retain all other rights. Reprint Rights: A publication may run your story after it has appeared somewhere else. Reprint rights are nonexclusive, meaning you can sell them to many magazines or newspapers.
3. Be professional. Always turn in professional-looking queries and manuscripts, either on a discreet letterhead or on clean, white paper. Also check first to see if a publication is willing to accept electronic submissions. If so, make sure to format them appropriately.
4. Know the difference between "query letter" and "cover letter." A query is meant to entice editors into accepting an article, not to bully them into hiring you. Brash bragging and badgering might help you climb the corporate ladder, but these tactics are as good as a nonstop ticket to the slush pile in the publishing world. Woo editors with your writing prowess, not your capacity for self-flattery.
5. Ask for a raise. I don't know of one magazine or newspaper that will volunteer to give you more money. They're quite happy to let you coast along indeterminately on the same rate you had when you began. After you've built a good relationship with an editor for six months or more, and you've proven you are a trustworthy contributor, ask for a raise. Explain that you've been dependable on deadlines, available for rewrites, and flexible with article focus. Any respectable publication will do the best it can to provide you with at least another $0.05 per word, but if they act insulted that you want more money, walk away.
6. A check in hand is worth... Especially if you have just begun working for a new publication, have a check in hand before proposing another story idea. It's tempting to submit queries to the same magazine when you know the editor likes your style and you're loaded with great ideas, but resist until you feel comfortable about being paid. Many magazines pay upon publication, which means you might have to wait six months or more before your piece appears in print. Others pay upon acceptance, meaning they will cut a check as soon as they decide to run your article, usually about 30 days after submission. If you're not sure the magazine is keeping up with its end of the bargain, hold tight before sending in anything else.
7. Submit your article ahead of time. Try to turn in your articles a week ahead of time. Harried editors love a head start, and they'll be glad they can count on you to not only make deadline, but to beat it. If a week ahead of time isn't possible, at least shoot for the day before.
8. Keep communication open. No doubt, your job is to make the editors' job easy. That's what they hired you. Make it a habit, then, to check in to make sure you're on the right track. This means first submitting an outline, then maybe the first page. If you have any doubt about a source or the direction a story should take, touch base with your editor, either by phone or a quick e-mail.
9. Submit error-free copy. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway.Make absolutely sure your manuscript is rid of errors. It's harder than itsounds. Thanks to word processors and the likelihood of typos, mistakes can infiltrate. Let your article sit an extra day before revising it, read it out loud, have a friend read it to you, do whatever it takes to iron the wrinkles from your articles.
10. Don't be afraid to be late. Believe it or not, editors understand when you can't meet a deadline. Anything can happen, from family emergencies to troublesome sources pulling out at the last minute. As long as you're up-front and give them as much notice as possible that you're late, your editors won't mind.
11. Give them more than they bargained for. Your assignment was to write
1,000 words on reforestation of Yosemite National Park, and that closes your
end of the bargain, right? Wrong. Always give your editors more than they
asked for. In this case, try a 100-word sidebar outlining the prescribed
fires program or a list of Yosemite tourism resources. If you're handy with
a camera, you can even provide photographs or names of photographers.
Follow these 10 – oops! 11 – tips to freelancing, and you'll be running a
successful business in no time.

|What an Editor of a Small Daily Looks for in a Co-worker
|By Todd Franko, editor, The Sandusky Register
My pursuit for new co-workers always focuses on the person first, the journalist second. For many reasons, I want to work with good people.
1. Strong Phone Presence. An on-site interview doesn't happen without a phone conversation first. In that conversation, I want to be immediately at ease with the person. I want two-way conversation. I want to hear relaxed confidence in who you are, not a military-like recitation of how you will be the next Bob Woodward. Have a solid, full voice. The minute I have to start extracting dialogue from a person is when their appeal begins to slide.
2. More Than Newspapering. I want to hear and see something in your life that shows a life outside of the newspaper. Sports, theater, community service, causes are all signs that you won't be a loner sitting at home counting the days and hours you've spent in our town.
3. People Interaction. As we tour the facility, introduce yourself to a staffer who makes eye contact with you; if we go out to lunch, I want to see who opens the door for someone coming out of where we're going into or who picks up a knife that the waitress drops. I'm more comfortable with a person who does this.
4. Alertness. During our on-site interview, I want you to engage in our surroundings. Interrupt me occasionally during conversations to have me elaborate or clarify a statement; observe and dissect things in our surroundings and tailor some of your questions to those situations. (Within these past three bullets, I find clues that will tell me if you're going to be a reporter who engages a source or will you sit back and write what they say and follow their agenda.)
5. Something Should Go Wrong. You got lost and are late for the interview; the hotel reservation was screwed up; your waitress brought you Diet Coke instead of regular; someone cut you off as we drove to lunch. I hope for some of these (not all - I'm not that cruel) to happen during your interview to see how you handle it. How you react in those situations tells me something about you and how you're likely to act when you've got 20 minutes to file a story. I haven't done it yet, but I'd love to compete with a candidate (pool, golf, racquetball, Scrabble, etc.) to see how they are in competition. A person's true character is often shown when their mettle is tested.
Hiring is a tough job. But like other skills, you get better with time. The above approach has not always yielded good staffers for us. But more times than not, it has.

The Future of Free Energy is here now!
- Extraett
- uploaded: Aug 3, 2012
- Hits: 3990
The future of free energy is at hand. the end of the energy barons, war mongers and central bankers will follow. So, let's all demand this technology be implemented immediately.
Imagine the technology shown here interfaces with Corning's new Display Glass Technology. This is the future for all of us. Free Energy and Free Thinking, the free interchange of all vital information via a free energy system. This is what I have been working for this past decade and now it s hear in our very face.
Nanoholdings is a team of scientists, investors and innovators working at the cutting-edge of nanotechnology to develop solutions to the world's growing energy problems. Working in partnership with the world's best universities we develop products and companies that will revolutionize the way we use and generate energy.
Two things stand out about us -- we focus exclusively on nanotechnology-based energy solutions and we work at the very cutting-edge of nano-energy research.
Our extensive network of leading scientists in the nanotechnology field are central to our work - scientists based at eminent universities around the world, who are working at the coal-face of nano-energy research to seek out alternative solutions for how we generate, transmit, store and use energy. We support and guide their research, transforming breakthroughs into viable solutions -- products to revolutionize the way we use and generate energy.

@Spikey I agree that some inventions are suppressed, but this guy is still out raising money from investors - he's not being intimidated, his products just don't work.
It's too bad because I really liked the basic idea. But this guy is a little more than a con artist...maybe the same as, since, at this point, he knows his ideas don't work and he's still trying to bilk investors.
Spikey August 5, 2012 9:23:55 PM CEST
@Cia212 (interesting username btw...)
All of what you say about the company (s) involved is true, but there are more than one reason for world changing breakthrough innovations to be abandoned. Failure is obviously one but intimidation and violent threats to family and oneself is enough to cause the same result, especially when these guys are talking about something as profound as ending a multi trillion-dollar energy monopoly.
People are routinely killed, tortured, ruined and slandered for much, much less every day. The opposition to any progress made by these scientists towards ending the energy monopoly, would have been unbelievable in its scope i believe.
It's little wonder the domains and companies involved are now defunct.
The consensus is for greed and power among the few sickos who perch above the shit, not for elevating the majority of humanity currently swimming around in the shit. Where's the profit in advancing our species?...for a few wankers, much more can be made by keeping us under control...which ensuring our financial and energy dependence does.
Ruquick August 4, 2012 4:22:55 AM CEST
The statement "The future of free energy is here now" is correct. As now, the future does not include free energy. IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
Cia212 August 4, 2012 12:35:37 AM CEST
This is an old video and the company has never been able to actually make anything work. There are several threads about it in the forums.
Nanoholdings makes some amazing promises but nothing's come of it yet. The Night Vision film that his idea is based on seems to be abandoned - the company (NIRVision) gave up trying to get a trademark and I couldn't find any products available for purchase - not a good sign.
On Friday, November 06, 2009, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for NIRVISION by NanoHoldings, LLC, Rowayton, CT 06853. The USPTO has given the NIRVISION trademark serial number of 77867437. The current federal status of this trademark filing is ABANDONED-FAILURE TO RESPOND OR LATE RESPONSE.
And the company producing the nano film (nRadiance Energy Systems) seems to have given up on the idea as well, instead focusing on replacements for plantinum (sic - yes, they can't even spell Platinum right on their own website) electrodes used in fuel cells.

Tonsil Stones and Tonsilloliths - How to Prevent and Get Rid of Tonsil Stones?
If you are like the vast majority of the general public, you probably have never heard of tonsil stones. While not well known, this condition is probably more common than most of us will ever realize. Because tonsil stones can sometimes present nothing more than minor symptoms that create little to no inconvenience for the patient, many people can live with the condition of years before the disease is diagnosed. Even when the symptoms are moderate to severe, there is still the chance that the initial diagnosis will be for some other condition.
More properly referred to as tonsilloliths, tonsil stones can make a significant impact on the quality of life. Fortunately, there is a great deal that can be done to manage and eventually overcome this condition. Due to the wonders of modern medicine, the chances for obtaining an accurate diagnosis are much higher than even a decade ago. At the same time, treatments for tonsil stones have become easier to administer and often will produce results in a shorter period of time.
Tonsil stones or tonsilloliths are collections of various matter than bond together and collect at the point where the rear of the mouth and the crevasse that houses the tonsils is located. Essentially, there are several different types of matter that can go into the creation of tonsil stones. The exact composition of the stones will vary somewhat from one person to another, although all stones will contain at least two different types of matter.
In appearance, the tonsil stones can often resemble minute amounts of food that appear to have lodged in the area. Generally, the stones will be off white to yellow in color, and will almost appear to be something that could be scraped away with a little effort. However, as the matter matures, it becomes increasingly calcified and adheres to the tissue with greater resistance.
In the earliest stages, tonsil stones can appear to simply be bacteria that is present due to a cold or some type of throat infection. Often, antibiotics may be administered due to this assumption. While this may help to some degree, especially in alleviating any minor outward systems, the problem is that the pockets of the calcified stones tend to reappear once the treatments cease.
At Tonsil Stones Remedies, we will look at the basics of tonsilloliths. Along with defining what a tonsil stone actually, we will also look into such aspects as what symptoms are often manifest with the disease, how the condition can develop, and what to do once it has been determined that tonsil stones are present. The important thing to keep in mind is that while tonsil stones can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort in severe cases, the condition is highly treatable once diagnosed.

A man who said he was interested in buying a home sent a real estate agent a picture of himself naked, according to the Murfreesboro Post.
She received the picture with a note saying he was interested in buying one of the homes she had for sale. This prompted the real-estate agent to call police.
The picture didn't show the man's face. The real estate agent told police she thinks it came from a potential client.
She said she wanted the incident documented in case any other problems occurred from the email sender.
Police told the Murfreesboro Post they thought the sender could've sent this as a joke, but they're taking the incident seriously and trying to identify him.

Frank Anderson has cooked alongside Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook since the early days, long before the duo opened Los Angeles's Animal, later followed by Son of a Gun, where Anderson is now chef de cuisine.
"The three of us are still as close as ever," says Anderson, "but thankfully we don't live together anymore." Anderson grew up on a farm in Maine, and when thinking about what dishes to add to Son of a Gun's menu, he often returns to food he ate as a kid, such as the recipe he shared with us for creamy tomato soup.

Anderson lives in downtown Los Angeles in a rooftop apartment with a patio, where he grows vegetables. Raised on a farm, he relishes the opportunity to be outdoors, even in the heart of the city.
Anderson favors the classic tomato soup accompaniment: a grilled cheese sandwich. He likes to use French baguette for the bread, and prefers an assertive cheese such as Drunken Goat, a Spanish goat's-milk cheese that has been cured with red wine.
To give his tomato soup maximum flavor, Anderson roasts the tomatoes and mirepoix, then combines them with tomato paste to deepen the flavor. He finishes the soup with crème fraîche to give it an especially silky texture.
2 servings (with leftover soup)
Medium carrots, 4 (roughly chopped)
Medium yellow onions, 2 (roughly chopped)
Medium leek, 1 (roughly chopped)
Tomatoes on the vine, 4 pounds (quartered, vine reserved)
Thyme sprigs, 8
Kosher salt, 1 tablespoon (plus more to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon (plus more to taste)
Extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons
Water, 8 cups plus 3 tablespoons, divided
Tomato paste, one 6-ounce can
Crème fraîche, ¼ cup (plus extra for serving)
1. Preheat the oven to 450°. Into the bowl of a food processor, add the:
- Chopped carrots
- Chopped onions
- Chopped leek
Process until roughly ground, about five 1-second pulses. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a 4-quart pot. Use the rubber spatula to scrape the mixture into the sieve and press down on it to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the tomato vine to the pot and set aside.
2. Turn the ground vegetables out onto a rimmed baking sheet, spread into an even layer. On another rimmed sheet pan, place the:
- Tomato quarters
- Thyme sprigs
Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up and sprinkle with:
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Add both baking sheets to the oven. Roast the tomatoes until they begin to collapse, about 25 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and set aside.
3. Rotate the pan with the ground vegetables and continue roasting until the tops are browned, about another 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and scrape the roasted vegetables into the pot with the vegetable liquid and tomato vine (set the pan aside). Add:
- 8 cups water
Start bringing the water to a boil over high heat.
4. Set the sheet pan used to roast the vegetables over a medium burner and add the:
- Tomato paste
Cook until the tomato paste darkens, about 45 seconds, then add the remaining:
- 3 tablespoons water
Use the wooden spoon to stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add this mixture to the pot with the vegetables, tomato vine and water. Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the stock tastes full-flavored, about 40 minutes. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and strain the stock. Clean the pot and pour the strained stock back into it.
5. Meanwhile, heat the broiler to high and cook the tomatoes under the broiler until they are nearly black on top, about 5 minutes.
Discard the thyme sprigs.
6. Scrape the roasted tomatoes into the pot with the strained stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatoes collapse completely, about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool 10 minutes before blending in batches or use an immersion blender to purée the soup. Once the soup is smooth, add:
- ¼ cup crème fraîche
Blend again and add more salt and pepper if needed. Divide into 2 bowls and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche.

Kohl Presentation
Boehlje Presentation
Not so long ago, families operated relatively small farms, and a farm of many hundreds of acres was considered a large operation. Today, an ag producer has to be much larger as the economies of scale dictate his or her standard of living; it's not uncommon to encounter farmers working thousands of acres. The level of sophistication to keep pace has escalated dramatically.
But farming like this also demands smarts. Lots of smarts. Today's producer is an economist, a broker, a banker, a transportation company and a very, very busy professional. Staying on top of the latest trends and innovations will ensure that he or she is able to keep pace with the rapid change facing the life of the 21st century farmer. At one time, attending conferences and seminars was viewed as a luxury or a nice to-do kind of thing. Not anymore. Professional development is the only way a farmer can keep a finger on the pulse of this dynamic industry and not neglect their business.
South Central College, the most respected name in Agricultural education in southern Minnesota, is embarking on a program to address the needs of the modern ag producer. Taking their cues from other top-flight national conferences, SCC will be hosting its sixth annual Agricultural Symposium on Wednesday, February 19, 2014.
Titled "New Tools for New Rules", the conference will address highly relevant topics facing the modern producer:
- Managing in the new economic times
- Best management practices focused on agriculture
- Strategic directions for a prosperous future
- Tax, estate, and succession planning…and more!
A expected sell-out crowd will experience some of the greatest minds in ag today. More details on the keynote speakers, dynamic breakout sessions and engaging forums will be published soon. However, this is an event not to miss as Dr. Michael Boehlje and Dr. David Kohl have confirmed their participation for this signature event.
And unlike other professional development seminars where the event's profits go to the promoter, all net proceeds from New Tools will benefit student scholarships and agricultural programs at South Central College as well as the college's non-profit Foundation. This will provide resources for ag-related scholarships, purchase state-of-the-art lab and instructional equipment, and more.

Adult Fiction LANDIS
Summary: The Romantic era was the cradle for artists who lived life to the fullest and loved without restraint, and Robert Schumann and his wife, Clara, were the epitome of this unbounded period. Robert shocked and confused listeners with music that heralded the beginning of the modern era while he drove both his mind and his body to their limit. Clara was the most acclaimed female pianist of her time-a time that included Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and later, Brahms, whom Clara and Robert loved more than any other man. With characters of surpassing vitality, Longing delineates the most intimate details of the relationships between men and women with a surpassing precision, sympathy, and wisdom. Combining the dramatic historical narrative of The Alienist with the passionate sensitivity of Possession and the sensual intellectuality of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, it is a consummate achievement of the novelist's art.

Desk Suggestions for Workspace in Living Room?
Good Questions
Q: My girlfriend and I are taking a big step and moving into our first apartment together. The large, L-shaped living area is very open to the kitchen and balcony, which we like. We would like to use the space for dining, living, and working. The attached pictures is not our furniture - its from the current tenants.
We like the current tenant's layout - I'm thinking the living room layout will probably remain the same (sectional couch with something like Ikea's 70" wide Besta). For dining we'll probably get an extendable dining table, but where do we keep the extra chairs? I'm mostly worried about my workspace:
For pretty much my whole life I've had an entire room for my computer. I do graphics and coding so I can't stick with a laptop. The current tenants are using an area with a width of 48" on a wall between the balcony and the media center — within it I need to somehow fit two dual screen 24" monitors (44" when wall mounted and flat against the wall), without it looking like a workspace.
I'm thinking about wall mounting the monitors. The desk would need to have my wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, two speakers, and a tiny mixer for audio work. No other storage is needed and I'll run cables cleanly to the media center under the TV where I will fashionably store an HTPC.
I need desk ideas! Less than 48" in width and not too deep. And what would go on the 90-degree angled corner between the desk and the media center?

Would it be possible to move the sofa and corresponding tv area up the walls toward the kitchen, float a small,extendable dining table in the middle of that area where the rug is, and then put your "office" on one side of that end window?
I really like the desks from BluDot -- the Can't desk or Desk51. They are inexpensive and intelligently designed, and spiffy.
West Elm parsons desk is 48" and less than 24" deep. I find it plenty spacious!
Can you work with their idea and put bookshelves to the left and right of the media center and then extend the left bookshelf past the corner by the depth of your desk? Let's say their shelves are 30 inches wide and your desk is 24 inches deep, can you put a 54 inch bookshelf to the left of the TV? That would hide your desk from the living area.
Another idea would be to use the 12 foot long wall for your desk and not get a dining room table. Can you live with eating at the counter and being creative when friends come over?
I think you are on the right track with your ideas for mounting the monitors and the way you plan on running the wires - neat and clean is key to making it look less like a workspace. I would hang artwork with the monitors to make it look even less like a workspace.
Float the sofa and use a console table behind it as a desk.. Because of the width, usually 5', you only need about 1-14" of depth. Use fabric covered boxes for desktop storage and attractive baskets underneath substitute for drawers.
I have a workspace/living area in my apartment as - only it s a MUCH smaller space.
This is what I came up with:
It's a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf that divides the workspace (with 2' x 4' desk) and
my living area. The shelf acts as a visual/mental divider from the tv area, and
the storage is fantastic. Clearly this is a much smaller space than most people
would want, but the floor-to-ceiling partition works really well for separating the
two areas.
I'm not sure if this would work, but what about somehow using Ikea's Expedit center? You could get the tv media center: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30218111/, have it where the current media center is, and somehow have the desk option go along the wall where you want your work station? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59861342/
I would probably put a desk where their table is pushed against the wall and put your table in the middle of the room or by the wall where their desk is now. If you get a small, expandable table it would fit just fine.
If you want a skinny desk but can't find anything, you could maybe try a console table with keyboard trays mounted underneath. I have an ikea desk (besta?) that is about the depth of a console table and I really like it.
If I was the current tenant, I'd be um, somewhat displeased to find you'd posted my home on the interweb - please assure us we're not being uninvited voyeurs here :)
Could you trade the two monitors for one massive flat screen tv somehow hooked up to your computer parts and then have a small "desk" area in front of the tv/computer where you pull up a chair for work?
If you have a dining table, I'd be tempted to do a desk up against the kitchen island......as for suggestions, it all depends on your price range and where you want to shop.
I built my own sawhorse desk using Ikea's Vika Artur legs and a slab door from Home Depot. Slab doors come in 24, 26, 30, 32, and 36-inch depths, but you'll need to buy a solid core door if you want to cut it down from the 80-inch length. I was fine with the length, so I bought a hollow-core door which is much easier to move around.
I also made a monitor stand out of 2 sets of Knuff magazine filing boxes and an Ekby shelf. Everything was purchased unfinished, so I finished it all the same. I should submit photos.

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine announced a multiple-point plan he intends to share with the next highway department superintendent to improve the Town's response to massive snowstorms such as the blizzard that buried Long Island under nearly three feet of snow.
Calling a press conference at the Mastic Community Center on Wednesday, Romaine essentially pinned the problem on a number of factors: the unexpected size and early arrival of the storm, the lack of heavy-duty equipment needed to move the amount of snow that fell, and the prohibitive insurance requirements for private contractors to help out with plowing the Town's nearly 2,600 miles of roadway.
"If the last six months have taught us anything, from the impact of Hurricane Sandy in late October to the recent winter storm of this month, it is that no weather-related calamity can be dismissed," Romaine said. "And anything...truly anything can happen, and the Town of Brookhaven must constantly refine its plan that goes beyond past calculation, and can effectively deal with the problem that these storms create."
Romaine was flanked during the conference by Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico, Patchogue Village Mayor Paul Pontieri, Mastic Beach Mayor Bill Biondi, and newly elected State Assemblyman Ed Hennessey. Romaine added that he has been on a "fact-finding mission" and met with the highway department and fire district officials last week to assess prevention methods. Among the recommendations Romaine presented at the conference are:
- Raise the spending cap on equipment expenditures. Currently New York State only allows municipalities to spend $1 million per year on new equipment. According to Romaine, a bill has been in Albany since 2001 that would increase that spending cap to $2.6 million so the Town could purchase heavier, more effective snow removal equipment, including payloaders. The bill has passed every year in the Senate, but failed in the Assembly, according to Romaine.
- Reduce insurance requirements for private snow contractors. According to Romaine the Town of Islip does not have such prohibitive insurance requirements and consequently, many private contractors took their plows and expertise to Islip.
- Raising the pay-rates for heavy equipment operators and contractors. "One of the things that we discovered during the storm is that surrounding towns pay out higher rates to heavy equipment," Romaine said. "[Removal] could not be done with just a pickup truck and plow, we needed some of the heavy equipment and we found out that our rates were not competitive with other towns."
- Issue an RFP for equipment study. Romaine wants to introduce a board resolution to issue an RFP to have the Town's equipment evaluated. The winner of the RFP bid would be charged with submitting a report that would inventory existing equipment, what additional equipment is needed, what equipment needs to be replaced and develop a 5-year capital program to financially accomplish an updated system.
- Require private snow contractors to have a GPS system. A transponder or GPS-related smartphone would allow the Town to track private contractors' progress. When asked if he was suggesting that private plowers were not fulfilling their obligations during the storm, Romaine stated he was not suggesting that, but rather that the GPS system would help the Town assess specific problem areas.
- Work with Albany for future legislation that would help with snow removal and storm preparedness.
Romaine said he intends to place these recommendations in a letter to the board and will await the outcome of the March 5 highway superintendent race between Kathleen Walsh and Dan Losquadro before he officially presents the recommendations for their feedback.
