Wednesday. It may be the middle of the week, but here's hoping it's not a middle-of-the-road kind of day.
With that in mind, you might consider a blast from the past, an exhibit about the once formiddable Avant Garde Coffeehouse, a giant used book sale, a beer sampling, some yoga or an art-and-tea combo deal. »Read Full Blog Post

This new rule change by the Fish and Game Commission, will be included in the 2014 Big Game Hunting rules package. Until now, it's been illegal to kill wolves unless they were in season. Idaho Fish and Game Bureau Chief of Communications, Mike Keckler said this gives land-owners more power to choose what happens on their property.
"The commission felt like they need to give private land-owners additional flexibility to hunt wolves or allow hunting on their property if they felt like there was a need there," said Keckler.
Keckler said they changed this rule in the Panhandle region a couple years ago and it didn't result in a large increase in wolves being killed. The commission also moved up the opening of wolf-trapping season in the Lolo and Selway zones.

Backup Whitepapers
When it comes to data back-up and recovery, the rules have changed. Virtualization has enabled IT organisations to become more efficient, but also more complex. This whitepaper addresses these new realities, and provides a comprehensive solution for virtual and physical environments, backup of applications and data, disaster recovery and replication of complete systems or applications, and for ensuring high availability of mission-critical services.
It's high time we tamed the monster we created! Against a backdrop of sustained and uncontrollable data growth, most of today's operational problems revolve around backup and recovery. Understanding the hidden costs and implications for data protection strategies is critical, but the complexity of the nebulous and amorphous cloud can make everything hazy. This white paper breaks it down to different dimensions of virtualisation and how to deliver the productivity and flexibility it promises.
Virtualization affords organizations multiple opportunities to reduce power, optimize hardware utilization, improve application availability and ultimately drive down costs. In light of its benefits, it is no surprise that virtualization penetration has surpassed 50% of all server workloads and continues to grow. In this guide, we evaluate prominent virtual server backup software solutions and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Backup is becoming more complex. In addition to protecting physical servers, solutions must handle virtual environments and efficiently manage growing volumes of data. This white paper provides analysis on the cost and performance of "champions" in the heterogeneous backup software market, and help mid to large sized enterprises choose the software and vendor that will best meet their specific backup and restore objectives at the lowest possible cost.
Deduplication solutions are not all created equal, why data domain?
In this White Paper, IDC offers up some quantifiable benefits that Asian enterprises have observed as a result of deploying backup and recovery solutions.
· Many enterprises are finding that the backup and recovery processes and technologies that they have implemented have not kept pace with the demands of the business
· IDC identifies how organizations can experience savings and improvements from the deployment of different types of technologies
· The benefits fall into three categories: storage environment cost savings; end-user productivity enhancements; and IT staff productivity optimization
Traditional backup architectures lack the flexibility, agility, and scale to meet new data protection challenges and requirements. That's where a Protection Storage Architecture comes in. This whitepaper details how transformational architecture enables backup teams to solve immediate tactical challenges, while helping to evolve IT teams.
In this whitepaper, IDC analyses the true return on investment for businesses using a consolidated approach to data protection, versus more siloed backup and archiving techniques. IDC conducted in-depth interviews with several organizations to gain insight into the realized benefits of an integrated data protection strategy, both in terms of cost savings and productivity.
Traditional backups are just too slow, inefficient and unreliable for the typical data center of today.
Top 5 reasons why EMC for archiving This whitepaper provides the top five reasons why organisations looking for the best-of-breed archive software and protection storage for a true end-to-end archive solution. · Archiving inactive data from tier-1 storage is a key way to save big
· Eliminate siloes for administration savings, while maximising overall storage efficiency, typically reducing archive and backup capacity required by 10-30x.
· Archiving solution that allows you to add virtual and physical servers to meet new demands

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Lee Ryan Slams Accusation He's Not Paying for Love Child
A representative for Lee Ryan has defended the British pop star after he was accused of failing to keep up with maintenance payments for his lovechild - revealing the singer "has not been earning much money" recently.
The Blue star is engaged to current partner Samantha Miller, the mother of his young son Rayn, but in 2009 he was shocked to discover he also fathered a daughter with ex-girlfriend Jessica Keevil. A DNA test proved Ryan's paternity and he vowed to "definitely be a part of" little Bluebelle's life, while also helping her mother out with maintenance payments.
Keevil's mother, Janet Stowell, has claimed Ryan has failed to keep up with the installments and barely sees the little girl, telling Britain's Sunday Mirror, "Lee's been a nightmare. Jess has had to battle to bring their daughter up all by herself. It's as if his own child is an inconvenience to him. Every time we ask for help he ignores us."
But a spokesman for Ryan is adamant the singer is not shirking his responsibilities, and has been struggling financially in recent months. The rep says, "Lee has being paying maintenance since he found out Bluebelle was his child. It has not been a regular amount because he has not been earning much money. Lee transferred money into Jessica's account only last week. He takes his role as father of Bluebelle very seriously."

Eve Pearl Hey Sexy/Hot Mamma Lip Gloss ($28.00) is a dual-ended lipgloss with two shades: a mauvey plum and a rich ruby red with red and gold shimmer. This is an excellent red lip gloss, because it's richly pigmented, goes on opaque, and it feels very smooth and moisturizing. It has a minty scent, too! The gloss really impresses me most with how much color it gives lips while still being a gloss. It has a subtly glossy sheen that's not too much, but still has a wetter look than a lipstick. One of my favorite glosses by Eve pearl!Read Full Review
Eve Pearl Kisses of Pearl Lip Gloss Review
Eve Pearl Kisses of Pearl Lip Gloss Combos ($28.00) come with two detachable lipgloss colors. You can detach them for easier travel, or you can mix and match your own for your favorite combos. Eve Pearl offers a total of five lipgloss combos, four are pictured above. The lipglosses are non-sticky, but they're still thick and fairly pigmented. They don't last forever on your lips, but they last me a solid three or four hours if I'm not eating/drinking. I like the high glossy finish to these, and the shimmer is noticeable without being chunky. They also smell like mint, which is definitely different from the standard lipgloss.Read Full Review

Government Healthcare in Inaction: VA Causes Needless Deaths
Time is precious for cancer patients. A needless delay in care can be a death sentence. This is a familiar issue for those forced to rely on the government for healthcare:
Barry Coates knows he will die soon and thus become another preventable patient death resulting from botched care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
In November 2010, Coates sought treatment for severe abdominal pain and rectal bleeding at a VA hospital in Hartsville, S.C.
The doctor recommended a colonoscopy to determine if his suffering resulted from early stages of colorectal cancer.
For more than a year, Coates faced delay after delay, churning through one doctor after another until finally the routine medical test was performed in December 2011.
It showed he had advanced colorectal cancer, which could have been treated more effectively if had been detected that first day.
Now, the 44-year-old Army veteran is forced to use a colostomy bag and catheter, lamenting that he is unable to play with his grandchildren as men his age should be able to do.
At least he is still alive. He won't be for long. Only when treated promptly is colon cancer likely to be cured.
His tragedy is emblematic of a much broader problem, as even the VA admits in a report released this week:
It shows 23 patients died from gastrointestinal cancers linked to delays in care, including routine colonoscopies and other procedures that would detect the early onset of the disease.
Another 53 cancer patients have been given "institutional disclosures," alerts that problem with their care at veterans' hospitals may have contributed to their conditions.
The VA did not report preventable patient deaths from other medical conditions. Nor did it say when the 23 patients died.
The report only confesses to the tip of the iceberg.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the [House Committee on Veterans Affairs], said the deaths probably occurred between 2010 and 2012, but that he cannot get a clear answer from the agency.
The term for this under Obamunism is transparency.
The figures provided by VA are a low estimate of the number of veterans who have died because of delayed or inadequate care, Miller said.
At least 18 deaths from other causes have been identified in recent years by the agency's inspector general and media reports.
Miller also said staff investigators at the Veterans' Committee have found evidence that there may be as many as 40 patient deaths due to delayed care at the VA hospital in Phoenix alone.
Total casualty numbers could be far worse:
The Government Accountability Office testified the [Veterans Health Administration's] consult numbers were unreliable and as many as two million consults nationwide that should have happened in 90 days, didn't.
At a congressional hearing yesterday, Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) characterized the situation as "a bureaucracy that is out of control."
If that sounds familiar, you could be thinking of the federal government's war of conquest against the medical industry, i.e., ObamaCare. When it leads to the collapse of private health insurance and the imposition of socialized medicine as planned, vets won't be the only ones waiting over a year for urgent procedures.

January Term at Linfield College is a four-week term offered between fall and spring semesters. January Term is a time for students to explore the college's curriculum, take advantage of study abroad courses, internships, special one-time topics courses, Linfield Curriculum courses or offerings in the major. The term features intensive classes that typically meet five days per week, giving students an opportunity to complete a full semester course in a shorter period of time.
Linfield offers a rich array of on-campus, online and study abroad courses. First-year non-transfer students are required to participate in their first January Term.
Registration for January Term is concurrent with spring registration.
A course with a minimum of three credits during January Term is required during the first year on the McMinnville campus for all non-transfer students. This is a graduation requirement, which must be met to obtain a bachelor's degree from Linfield College. This affects any non-transfer student enrolled in the fall semester as a first-year student at Linfield during or after Fall 2015.
As part of each student's first-year experience, this requirement is designed to provide continuity between fall and spring semesters, to enhance Linfield's commitment to integrating curricular and co-curricular experiences, to foster diverse interactions with other students and the local community, and to create an environment in which students can develop friendships and have fun.
Alongside the course that each student will take, Linfield hosts an array of events, workshops and lectures. These are focused around Connecting to the College, Examining Identity, Career Exploration and Community Engagement. A student's weekly schedule in Jan Term might include a lecture on diversity in the media, a cooking workshop, a Linfield basketball game, and a day of service, amongst many other choices.
The cost of participating is included in tuition: per-credit course fees and housing fees are waived for all first-year, non-transfer students during the January term. Students are responsible for meal costs, course-specific fees, and the ASLC fee.
Jan Term Dining Program Information
First-Year Student January Term Requirement Frequently Asked Questions
Each January Term, Linfield offers a range of courses: Linfield curriculum classes, majors and electives, internships, and experiential learning opportunities. Students appreciate focused time with faculty and fellow students, and a chance to take courses that help make progress to degree completion or to explore courses that they might not ordinarily take.
$227 per credit is charged for all on-campus January Term courses. Students are responsible for housing and board costs incurred.
January Term Scheduled Course Offerings are posted on the Registrar's website.
Another option for sophomores, juniors and seniors is to take a Linfield course online offered through Online and Continuing Education (OCE). There is a wide array of courses to choose from. OCE's Winter term dates differ slightly from those on the McMinnville campus.
January Term Study Abroad courses are designed to foster global awareness, develop insights into major issues of our time, and deepen understanding of American society. They offer participants unique opportunities for innovative learning experiences beyond the standard curriculum.
Students concentrate on a single academic course of 2-5 credits. With permission of the instructor of that course, a one-credit paracurricular class may be added.
January Term off-campus courses are planned and led by Linfield faculty. They are usually limited to 10-12 students for each site chosen through a competitive interview selection process. Students cannot participate in both a Semester Abroad and January Term off-campus international program in the same academic year without special permission from the International Programs Office.
For all students, regardless of their major or minor, Linfield provides the first round-trip air transportation from the Portland International Airport to one destination outside the continental U.S. for one off-campus program – for approved travel for semester, academic year, or January Term programs – for each student who meets program requirements. Students who have already taken one program at college expense must pay airfare for subsequent programs arranged by the college unless a second program is certified by the Registrar as necessary for completing a major or minor with a required study-abroad component. Students who are so certified are entitled to a second round-trip airfare at college expense.
Students participating in an off-campus January Term course pay a program fee to cover the cost of the program and their living expenses such as accommodations, land transportation and other on-site costs.
Students are responsible for any meal costs incurred during course days on campus prior to departure or after return. Meal provisions for the periods spent off-campus vary for each course. Depending on location, student should plan on spending approximately $600-900 for meals and personal expenses.
The following courses will be offered during January term 2016:
BIOL 398 Microbiology of Extreme Environments – Exploration of the microbial diversity present on the big island of Hawaii, covering habitats from tundra to lava flows and from desert to coral reefs, and everything in-between.

MATH 298 Traversing the Eulerian Trail – Leonhard Euler was one of the most prolific mathematicians of all time. More important, however, was his impact on almost every field of mathematics. There are few areas of mathematics in which Euler's contributions have not played a significant role. In this course, we retrace his steps, beginning in St. Petersburg and Berlin. It is in these two cities that Euler spent the majority of this life, alternating between positions at the St. Petersburg Academy and the Berlin Academy. We then end in Basel, Switzerland, the town of his birth, and where attended the Universität Basel. The focus of the course is the mathematics of Euler. We investigate his work and influence in number theory, infinite series, logarithms, algebra, combinatorics, and graph theory. In addition, we consider how the concept of "proof" has evolved from Euler's time to the present. This course counts toward the major and minor in Mathematics. Prerequisites: MATH 170 with MATH 175 strongly recommended. 4 credits.

Sarah's Profile
Welcome! My name is Sarah. I am a 27 year old nurse, hippie, and feminist. I opened my shop here in 2008 selling candles, jewelry, and soaps. Since those things are available everywhere, I didn't really sell that much. I have been collecting political buttons since I was a teenager. My collection covered the entire front flap of my (large) messenger bag and people would often stop to comment on them. One day in the fall of 2011 I decided to look into making buttons myself. I did some research and found a good quality machine within my price range. I decided to purchase it and the rest is history!
You'll find that many of my buttons have a liberal and feminist theme. This is because buttons are a great way to express how you feel, and those are the things that I feel strongly about. I believe in fighting racism and inequality, preserving the environment, and ensuring that women have equal rights…

This review is from: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL
Pros: Awesome RAM! This stuff is extremely stable, first time boot no issues using MemOK on an ASUS M4NTD Evo motherboard. Handles overclocking and tight timings like it was made to ignore JEDEC.
Cons: None. Simply some of the best memory on the market today.
Other Thoughts: Have used GSkill RAM for 4 or 5 years now. Never had a stick die on me. Have had Patriot, Corsair, and Mushkin memory sticks fail though.
System Specs:
AMD Phenom 1090T @ 4.1GHz
2 x Gskill Phoenix Pro SSD 60 GB in RAID 0 (boot)
2 x Seagate 7200.11 500GB Platters(data array)
16 GB Gskill DDR3 1600 - this kit!
2 x ASUS GTX 580 in SLI
ASUS M4NTD EVO motherboard
Liquid Cooling CPU/Video
Liteon 24X DVD/RW
Coolermaster Cosmos 1000
Antec Toughpower 1200W PSU
Cable managed with anodized/colored flex tubing auto temp rated
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
This review is from: ASUS ENGTX580/2DI/1536MD5 GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) Overclocked 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: This card is simply amazing. Runs at about 60C idle with SLI. Running 1090t, 16GB DDR3, 2 60 GB SSDs in RAID 0, 2 500GB 7200 RPM platter drives in RAID 0, and two of these in SLI. 78C under max load. Single card gives a WEI of 7.9. Two, well that just blows anything out of the water. Running BF:BC2 with 80-120 FPS everything maxed using 3D Vision. Right around 120 FPS with 3D Vision enabled. Anything I throw at this thing just cant stand up. Never seen anything look so clean and stutter free. Liguid cooling is a good idea for SLI, just get a reservoir, tubing, adapters, coolant, and a pump. Recommend dual link tubing for a vid card setup, but it will run cool for long periods of time. Renders Aftereffects like Cinebench... no time at all.
Cons: None here. The only thing you may run into is temp issues if you dont space these guys and use the stock coolers. This is probably where the other user had issues with the Antec 1200 W PSU. I have this same power supply and dont have any problems, but I have liquid cooling and my cards have a PCI slot between them. Did have overheat issues with a GTX 480 on this rig when it was seated close to the PSU. This was due to restrictive airflow and these guys need some room to breathe. GTX 580 runs cooler than a 480, so no big issues here. Again, a great product from ASUS. These things overclock like a champ. Don't push your memory clocks too much though, you dont really need to.
Other Thoughts: Considering upgrading to an EVGA SR2 with dual 990x i7s, in order to get 2 more of these. Also, I like the idea of 48GB of RAM, 24 GB per CPU. That'd be nice.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Thermaltake RC1400101A MAX-1542 5.25" (x1) Bay to 2.5" (x4) Bay Mobile Rack HDD Canister
Pros: Well, I like the design of this case. Alot of thought was put into the engineering behind this. Very similar to server hotswap bays for 3.5 inch platter drives, this will let you put up to 4 SSDs/platter drives into a 5.25 inch bay. Works great if your case has available 5.25 inch bays, but no native 2.5 inch HDD slots for SAS or SSD. The lock/unlock feature is also nice.
Cons: This bay didn't line up well with some SSDs I was installing in it. I put in 2 60 GB GSkill Phoenix Pro SSDs and they worked, but they were a tight fit due to the drive canisters SATA power and SATA connectors being not properly aligned. This almost made me give this product a 3 instead of 4.
Other Thoughts: Receives a 4 due to ease of install and doesn't take a 3 due to the fact that Thermaltake has HDD led on each canister to show access and power to the device. However, the SSDs not installing well is somewhat frustrating. Think maybe Thermaltake should spend some time working on a sturdier backplate for connecting the HDDs that you install in this unit. Newegg had excellent shipping and response to my order. Ordered and received three days later in the morning.READ FULL REVIEW

Looks like it's getting to be spring time for Red-breasted Mergansers!
Well done, beautiful birds, Cheers, Dianne
Thanks Dianne! I've been trying to catch some good photos of this kind of duck all winter, but most of the time they've been rather far away. Tried this spot in the late afternoon, and not only were they close with cool light, the boys were also putting on a show! I guess they're known for their 'salute and curtsy' courtship dance, and this is a 'salute'.The next photo is a 'curtsy'.
She sure does know how to make the guys work for it, doesn't she? Neat set, Bits.
Pretty cool Bits, could be a 'menagerie a trois' in the making.
She sure does n1w - and she's learned the age-old trick of playing hard to get, and the boys flock around her! And ha-ha Guy! Though I guess it doesn't matter much, since like most duck boys they take off once the family work has to be done! Thanks guys!
Don't look like she likes any of em!
LOL Liam - I think she just has so many suitors she's not sure which one to pick! But she's also realized it's smart to play hard to get!
Ahhh those rivals :))

for a D O he never lays a hand on you to figure out the cause or the event that might have occured. he wants expensive tests done even if you tell him you can't afford them thats what he wants. and push pills and keep you coming back .
I was disappointed from my first appointment with Dr K in which I wait for an hour past my appointment time only to be rushed through a 10 minute visit. Dr K was rude and insulting and not compassionate to the impact that the brain injury was having on me. My gut told me to find a new doctor but I didn't listen. I took all the tests, medicines, and kept logs. In my appointments, he couldn't be bothered to look at my logs or listen to my updates. He would often start walking out of the room in the middle of my medical questions and just tell me to follow him. This was after I would wait for an hour in the room for him to come in. He didn't seem to care about me or my symptoms and just had his mind made up that he knew the cause and time would heal it. After 6 months, I have now had to start over with a new doctor that actually cares and listens.
I went in to get an emg test done with dr. K this past week. Once we made the appointment we were told to come a half hour before the appointment to fill out paper work. I dutifully arrive a half hour early and filled out the paperwork we'll before my appointment was scheduled to start. After myself and another patient sat waiting for 2 hours I was finally taken to the back. Another half hour later the dr came in to tell me I didn't have the symptoms long enough and didn't want to conduct the test. Mind you I've been off work and had a prescription for an emg from my doctor who wanted it done, his input was rude and was with an attitude. I felt as though I was his last patient of the day and he didn't want to conduct the test. After i convinced him to do the test he told me he was faxing the result immediately to the prescribing Doctor. 4 days later as I sit in my doctors office to discuss the results, the fax never came through. I am extremely displeased with the way I was treated and the inefficiency of the office. The results are curcial to whether or not I need a very invasive surgery and I don't think anyone at the office cares.
I have been a patient of Dr. K for about 4 years. I am seeing Dr. K for MS. Dr. K always takes the time to answer all of your questions, and always addresses any concerns. Dr. K is very thorough and knowledgeable with treatments. It was Dr. K who sent me for an MRI for my back, and discovered I had serious issues with my spine. He also found that I had a pinched sciatic nerve. Dr. K then sent me to a pain clinic. From there I was referred to a surgeon to correct my spine.I would recommend Dr. K in a heartbeat! My MS has continued to be stable since I have been a patient of Dr. K.'s.He takes the time to monitor his patients, if I don't have an appointment set, and Dr. K feels it's past due, he will instruct his staff to call to make sure I come in to see him, which says volumes about the kind of doctor he is.It shows that he pays attention to his patients, and not just when you're in the office.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kachadurian for over a year now, and he is amazing! I suffer from Dystonia (ST) and i have to have botox injections every three months. I highly recommend him if you are living in Oakland Co. Michigan, and are in need of assistance in the neurological field. He is compassionate, understanding, creative and exceptionally adequate with his knowledge on fighting neurological disorders. Thanks Dr. K!!!! You are the best!
You can tell that Dr. Kachadurian is passionate about his job. He enjoys finding the diagnosis and explaining everything so you understand the disease and the treatment options.
Dr. Kachadurian has taken so much time with us at the bedside. He answered all of our questions and we never felt rushed. He has showen a great level of compassion in the care of our father. I would highly recommend him.

National Geographic Global Fisheries article
National Geographic has published a 38-page article on the global fish crisis in the April 2007 issue of its magazine. The article is written by Fen Montaigne, with topside photographs by Randy Olson and underwater photography by friend and Wetpixel member, Brian Skerry.
The Mediterranean may lose its wild bluefin tuna. High-tech harvesting and wasteful management have brought world fish stocks to dangerous lows. This story explores the fish crisis—as well as the hope for a new relationship between man and the sea…

The seminar is priced at USD$150, or USD$100 for DUPS member, and is designed by Snyderman "to make sure that you know more about underwater photography at the end of the day than you did at the beginning…once you really "get it" you can take the concepts you learn with you anywhere you dive and create compelling images."
Review of UK-Germany housing for Canon 5D
Wetpixel member Mark Hoover (hoovermd) has written a review of his experiences of the UK-Germany housing for the Canon 5D. Relying only on the manufacturer's reputation to make his purchase, and after using the housing for over a year, Mark says:
If I had to do it all over again I would go with a UK-Germany housing. The workmanship is very good and Uwe [Kiehl] has gone out of his way to provide customer service to me since he has no US distributor.

Being completely new to the industry, I had no idea who the Sea Rovers were nor what their clinic was all about. A few months later, I arrived at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel in Boston to find the most amazing dive show I had ever seen.
Although the annual clinic has limited space for booths, its speaker line-up and Saturday evening film festival are typically the main draw for visitors…

Being late is an awkward feeling, isn't it? Especially if you show up late for work because of something you are to blame for: You overslept (at least you'll be wide awake in a split of a second), you hopped on the wrong train (Panic!) or missed the right one (the sky is falling!).
At the same time (pun not included), embarrassing situations sometimes look funny in retrospect. Here are two such situations that happened to me roughly ten years ago. So by now I am calm enough to share them.
I was a freelance producer, author and lecturer in Berlin and had a client in Potsdam. Classes started at 9 am, and I usually got up as early as 6 to be there at 8:30 and have a little time for a coffee and preparations. I always took the train for various reasons.
One Monday morning I woke up by myself without the kind support of my alarm clock. That wasn't a good sign to begin with, and what I read on the display of the alarm was even worse: 8:00. I didn't know how I managed to oversleep by two hours, but I did know how to manage to be out of the door after only 15 minutes. Ran to the subway, which just arrived. Good. Change at Alexanderplatz for the regional train. There's one waiting - very good, I *have* to catch it as they leave sparsely. I left my watch in my flat, which isn't too bad. But I forgot my cellphone too, so I cannot call my client.
Potsdam. Finally. What time is it? Station watch, quick glance, don't stop. Seven o'clock. Wait? Seven?!! It was supposed to be 10 or 9:30 at least.
When I woke up, I was so much expecting to be late I, misread the 6 as 8 on the digital display. In addition, summer daylight saving time had ended the day before, and I forgot to set my alarm clock back by one hour. When I woke up, it was only 5. Five not eight.
At least I had now plenty of time for a breakfast.
// --- snip snap ---
Same work, same client. I board the train in front of me which is supposed to take me to Potsdam. Sadly it didn't. Shortly before Potsdam, the train takes a left curve heading south rather than west. Either my reading skills failed again, or somebody else seriously #'$@!-up with the displays at the station. Since I was the only one starting to panic, I guess it was all my fault. The conductor suggests to leave the train at the next but one station so I can take a direct train from there to Potsdam. The next but one stop is a village called Beelitz, and it looks as if I was sent back to the 50's. I take out my cellphone to call my client, but there's zero (zero!) reception. I ask a conductor or so where my train leaves, and if I can call my client using a fixed-line phone: "Well, ei wuff make hop hop 'n' take tscha train da quick." Pointing to narrow track diesel train which must have been almost new 40 years ago. There isn't really a platform, so I climb over one or two tracks, the car smells of wood and diesel fuel, there are wooden benches, and I know the ride is going to be fun, that is if I wasn't late. The train is so slow, you could ride a bicycle next to it. There is no railroad embankment or so, the train is seemingly plowing itself through yellow canola fields and meadows with poppies and cornflowers. It's a sunny and beautiful day. Class will wonder where I am. I am somewhere stuck in the fifties with a good-for-nothing cellphone, a good-for-nothing notebook, wearing "casual business" and a sense of perfume
on an old narrow track train with wooden interior and fumes of diesel fuel.
The first stop is a railroad crossing. On the left, there's a car, on the right there's a cyclist talking to the train driver. Eventually the driver passes a bunch of letters to the cyclist. So he's a postman. They talk a little more. The car is waiting without blowing the horn. I am waiting too, trying hard to enjoy the bizarre situation I am in.
The second stop is somewhere in the middle of a field. There's a farmer's wife standing at the railroad. She is wearing a headscarf, a checkered apron and two bottles of milk. The train driver pays for the milk. They talk.
Does it really matter if I am "only" two or two and a half hours late? I mean it's so .. so calming ... the fields, the flowers, the tchadum-tchadum of the train, the blue sky. There's another farmer's wife hanging up her wash. The driver's opening his window and shouts something, the woman laughs and shouts back.
An hour or so later I am standing in-between computers and a video projector and apologize for being two hours late.

The Market for "Rough Diamonds": Information, Finance and Wage Inequality
During the past four decades both between and within group wage inequality increased significantly in the US. I provide a microfounded justification for this pattern, by introducing private employer learning in a model of signaling with credit constraints. In particular, I show that when financial constraints relax, talented individuals can acquire education and leave the uneducated pool, this decreases unskilled inexperienced wages and boosts wage inequality. This explanation is consistent with US data from 1970 to 1997, indicating that the rise of the skill and the experience premium coincides with a fall in unskilled-inexperienced wages, while at the same time skilled or experienced wages do not change much. The model accounts for: (i) the increase in the skill premium despite the growing supply of skills; (ii) the understudied aspect of rising inequality related to the increase in the experience premium; (iii) the sharp growth of the skill premium for inexperienced workers and its moderate expansion for the experienced ones; (iv) the puzzling coexistence of increasing experience premium within the group of unskilled workers and its stable pattern among the skilled ones. The results hold under various robustness checks and provide some interesting policy implications about the potential conflict between inequality of opportunity and substantial economic inequality, as well as the role of minimum wage policy in determining the equilibrium wage inequality.
