Some Contacts Are More Equal than Others: Informal Networks, Job Tenure, and Wages
The explanation typically given for longer tenure among workers who use informal contacts to find jobs is that relatives and friends reduce uncertainty about the quality of the match between worker and employer. An alternative explanation is that workers rely on informal information sources as a last resort. Such workers remain at their current jobs mainly because they have few alternative choices rather than because of better match quality. This article shows that the two different explanations are simultaneously valid for different types of contacts and can account for differences in the wage effects of job contacts.

Hawaii knotties know how much I am into shoes, so, for shoes:
www.dyeableshoestore.com - saw lots of white satin and silk shoes here I haven't seen elsewhere. But also saw some of the more common ones for cheaper on shoebuy and zappos. You can also get your shoes dyed for $12 on this site, or $25 if you are sending in shoes you bought elsewhere.
www.shoebuy.com - got my shoes from this website - on a day they were having 20% off everything (they seem to do this pretty often, I've noticed it twice in a fairly short period). They also gave me 10% off for being a new customer and registering. Then I got an email asking me to review the shoe; when I did, they sent me a thank you email saying that they will credit 5% of the cost of the shoes back onto my credit card! And with this email they also sent a 10% off coupon for a future purchase. Price: Colorful Creations Shine: $67.95 original - $13.59 discount - $5.44 discount = $48.92 - $2.45 discount = $46.47.
www.6pm.com - this website doesn't have a good search funtion though. It makes you look through too many at once.
http://www.babygirlboutique.com/shoes-footwear.html - very interesting site with interesting shoes. some are cute. some are slutty. they even have something called "fetish footwear." It's also like a 50s clothing website.

UN Says Women Not Necessary To Monitor Allocation of Climate Change Funds/
GreenTracker| France has replaced its appointee to the new UN Climate Change 19-person panel with a woman, the French finance minister, Christine Lagarde.
The UN has long acknolwedged that the world's poor women are most impacted by climate change, but UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon — after consultation with governments — created a 19-man panel to oversee the allocation of funds to developing countries.
Elizabeth Becker, a member of Oxfam America, and Suzanne Ehlers, president of Population Action International, wrote in a joint blog post on Grist Why are women being left out of climate decision-making.
We find Ban Ki-moon's actions stunning and will join the fight to see more women on the panel. The balance between industrialized countries and developing ones is said to be fair But not one woman was viewed necessary to provide representation for women's issues, in spite of the world's poor track record on investing in women generally and the UN's track records of giving money to governments who never get it to its most needy beneficiaries.
We have signed this letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to appoint women to the High-Level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing (Update). Please join us. Anne via NYTimes New UN Climate Group Is All Male

Fairmount Proserpine
Shrub (origin unknown).
Another lovely rose found at the Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, probably a Bourbon rose. Fragrant, double, deep fuchsia-magenta cup shaped blooms with a knob of center petals. Repeats bloom if dead-headed. Dark green foliage on a shrub reaching 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Produces small, orange hips in the fall.

For Kim Kardashian, going makeup-free doesn't mean looking any less glam.
The 34-year-old star posted a fresh-face snapshot to Instagram on Jan. 13, smack in the middle of a relaxing mani-pedi session. Kardashian, for the record, looks flawless: We're talking clear, glowing skin, perfectly-shaped brows and a supple pink pout.
Even more luxe—Kim is getting the sweet nail treatment in what looks like the privacy of her own bathroom. It seems that the reality star was prepping for a photo shoot: Earlier that morning, Kim posted a pic of her 5 a.m. call time must-haves, which include an energy drink, rose water, La Mer moisturizer, oversized black sunnies and a magazine (today's pick was Cosmopolitan with little sister Kylie Jenner on the cover).
Speaking of Kylie, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan also left her layers of lashes and lip liner behind for a buff, fresh-face selfie on Jan. 11. Maybe going au naturel on social media was a New Year's resolution for the sisters (and if so, it's one to keep).
Also in the makeup-free arena: Demi Lovato, who put freckles on our radar with this fresh-face shot that she posted to Instagram on Jan. 12.
"Forgot to post this a while back... Let's start a new Twitter/Instagram trend: #NoMakeupMonday... Why? Cause we deserve to show the world our beauty and our confidence," the singer captioned the photo, before giving a shout-out to her skincare line, Devonne by Demi.
Well if we had Demi's virtually flawless complexion, we'd be posting a lot more #nomakeupmonday selfies, too.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Nissan is working up something special for the annual ZDayZ event tomorrow in North Carolina. The automaker just teased us with an image of what looks to be an even hotter version of the Nissan 370Z, which it's planning on unveiling tomorrow.The Nissan 370Z Nismo is already the top dog of the 370Z lineup. Its 3.7-liter V-6 puts out 350 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque, and is mated to a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. The 370Z Nismo is more about aerodynamic improvements than outright power, with a cleaner front fascia design that stretches the Z-car six-inches and reduces drag.The teaser of this new 370Z Nismo doesn't exactly give us a clear idea of what we can expect. The front-end looks to be a modified version of the 370Z Nismo's, with integrated LED running lights, additional air intakes, and a more-aggressive front splitter. The way we see it, the new 370Z Nismo could be one of two things: a new version of the hottest 370Z, or it could possibly be the Nissan 370Z Nismo RS, with a modest power boost and more go-fast parts.At any rate, we don't have to wait long to discover what it is, as Nissan will pull the wraps of the new 370Z Nismo tomorrow. What do you think it is?

ST. LOUIS Sharks defenseman Jason Demers, out since the All-Star break with a lower body injury, spoke for the first time after skating at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Sunday morning.
It was Demers second time on the ice since he re-aggravated the unspecified injury in Calgary on Jan. 24. He originally hurt himself on Jan. 17 in a home game against the Flames, missed two games, and returned on Jan. 23 in Edmonton before getting hurt again the next night.
Lungs are burning a bit, but it feels good to be out there, he said, immediately after coming off of the ice. Its been a little while since Ive been out there, so Im happy to be out there skating around, and I feel pretty good.
Demers said his injury is fine, and now its about getting back into game shape. He wont play against the Blues tonight, and it may make sense to keep him out for Mondays game in Washington, as well. The Sharks dont play again until Thursday night in Tampa Bay after their game with the Capitals.
In 35 games, Demers has two goals and nine assists for 11 points, a -7 rating, and 20 penalty minutes.
Tommy Wingels, out with a left shoulder injury suffered against Ottawa on Jan. 19, is also close to a return.
The Sharks are fairly deep on the blue line, but defenseman Colin White has struggled this season while Jim Vandermeer has been used sparingly as both a defenseman and fourth line winger.

If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

"The challenge was to create a set that could work like a TV set, award show and performance stage all in one. The Gala stage was handled like an award show-type venue, creating a large projection surface in the shape of the traditional NOLA front porch, while mirroring the angular overlapping lines of the newly built 'Make it Right' homes," said Stefan Beese, the Production Designer for the event.
Barco helped bring the abstract stage concept to life with video mapping, which entailed fusing the lines of houses together on-stage. "Barco was the main gear needed to make the whole concept work," commented Stefan Beese of RE:BE Design. Four FLM HD20 large event projectors combined to create an edge-blended projection mapping of the upstage wall, showcasing images of the NOLA skyline, Preservation Hall jazz performances, collections of MIR images and videos, as well as graphic content to create a dynamic backdrop for the gala stage.

This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/371,276, filed Aug. 10, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,606,490.
Communication systems between a remote (base) station, and a mobile station or terminal, such as cellular phones and pagers, commonly include a current-saving mode, usually called an Idle or Standby mode, in order to save battery power in the mobile terminals. In these terminals, the Standby mode consists of a relatively long "sleep" interval in which most of the terminal blocks of the mobile station are deactivated, and a relatively short "reception" interval in which the terminal is enabled to receive from the base station transmitted data, usually a paging or a broadcast message, which may be intended for the terminal. The mobile station checks whether this message is intended for itself, and according to its contents, decides on further actions, like going to the sleep phase, continuing the reception phase, etc. Prior to the data detection in the reception phase, there is a pre-conditioning or synchronization period in which the receiver pre-conditions the receive path for data detection, e.g., synchronizes to the correct gain, frequency, DC offset, timing, and/or to other parameters the receiver may need. Examples for such parameters are equalizer tap gains when an equalizer is employed, or "fingers" gains and delays when a "RAKE" receiver is employed.
In the present systems of the foregoing type, the batteries provided in the receivers are generally capable of operating the receiver for a total Standby time of approximately 200 hours, and a total Talk time of approximately 2 hours before battery-recharging is required. It would be very desirable to increase this Standby time by decreasing the current drawings on the battery during this time.
Various techniques have been developed for reducing current drain in battery-operated receivers, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,708,971 and 5,737,322, but there is still a need to further decrease current drain particularly during the long "Standby" period.
The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a prior art CDMA mobile station receiver;
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the Standby period in the prior art receiver of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of a CDMA mobile station receiver constructed according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of the Standby period in the described embodiments of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic. block diagram of a typical mobile station direct sequence (CDMA) receiver 100 in accordance with the prior art. RF signals are received by an antenna 101, filtered, amplified and downconverted to an intermediate frequency (IF) by a downconverter 102, amplified by a first automatic gain control (AGC) circuit 103, filtered by a bandpass filter 104, typically a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter, to eliminate signals outside the required bandwidth, and amplified by a second automatic gain control (AGC) circuit 106.
The amplified IF signals are multiplied by two IF sinusoidal signals generated by a synthesizer 130, and shifted by 90� relative to each other by a phase splitter 132, to produce an in-phase signal I and a quadrature signal Q. The in-phase signal I is multiplied by a mixer 108, filtered by a low-pass filter 110 and digitized by an A/D converter 112. Similarly, the quadrature signal Q is multiplied by a mixer 109, filtered by a low-pass filter 111 and digitized by an A/D converter 113. An AGC 126 is coupled to a power estimator 124 and to the first and second AGC circuits.
A searcher 120 performs the correlations needed to determine the various multipath delays τ inside the target window. The digitized signals are correlated, at the delays determined by searcher 120, by the correlators of a de-spreader bank 114, whose outputs are transferred to the searcher 120. The outputs of de-spreader bank 114 are combined, in a maximal ratio sense, in a rake combiner 116 and fed to the data detection unit 118 that performs de-interleaving and FEC decoding to produce the final output signal.
The automatic frequency control unit 122 processes the de-spreader bank output to determine the control voltage to be fed to a voltage controlled oscillator 128 (usually a voltage controlled crystal oscillator) which supplies a corrected frequency to the synthesizer unit 130. The synthesizer unit 130 generates the frequencies required to the phase splitter 132 and to the down converter 102 so the required frequency will be received. The controller unit 140 supplies working parameters and timing signal to the units.
Although a quadrature receiver is shown, other receiver types, such as those using IF sampling and other samplings, can be employed.
FIG. 2 shows an example of reception timing during the Standby mode. The entire receive path of the radio is activated for time Trfa1=TAGC+Tmps+Tfrs+Tdec where: TAGC is the time required for the AGC to settle; Tmps is the time required for the multipath search (fingers positioning); Tfrs is the time required for the frequency tracking; and Tdec is the time require for data detection. Usually, TAGC, Tmps and Tfrs are designed to be long enough to cope with the worst case situation (i.e., bad channel conditions, large channel gain fluctuations, and/or wide multipath spread) since channel conditions and multipath spread are usually not known in advance when long sleep periods are used. Consequently, Tmps may reach durations of ˜4-5 ms, and Tfrs may reach duration of 1-2 ms, resulting in Trfa1 which may be very long relative to Tdec. For example, Tdec may be in the order of 60 μsecs but whereas Trfa1 according to the prior art, may reach 5-7 mSecs
Some prior art methods may perform multipath search in parallel to frequency tracking but they still have a long Trfa1 relative to Tdec.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, by providing a novel method which reduces the wake-up time of the radio section as well as the baseband section.
The present invention is particularly efficient for IS-95 CDMA idle applications, and is therefore described below with respect to such an application.
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a CDMA mobile station receiver 300 constructed in accordance with the present invention. A signal quality estimator 310 is added between the de-spreader bank 114 outputs and the controller 140. A receive power comparator 320 is added between the received power estimator 124 and the controller 140. Otherwise the receiver of FIG. 3 is basically of the same prior art construction as illustrated in FIG. 1, and therefore its parts are identified by the same reference numerals to facilitate understanding.
FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of the FIG. 3 receiver. In FIG. 4 Trfb2 is moved to be prior to Trfa2. During the period Trfb2, a very short verification of the AGC level (TAGC) and the received signal timings (Tmps, fingers positions) takes place. Since in the vast majority of the times, the AGC level and the fingers positions do not vary, or vary very little from their values measured at the previous slot (a few seconds before), Trfb2 takes a very short time (less than ˜1 ms for IS-95 applications). Frequency tracking (Tfrs) is done during Trfa2 in parallel to data decoding (Tdec).
FIG. 5 illustrates one mode of operation as controlled by controller 140. First, a very short measurement of the received signal power is taken (block 510). If the newly measured received signal level does not differ considerably from the level for which the received AGC is tuned for (as determined by block 520), no further AGC is needed at this time (block 530). This is verified by comparing the measurement result with the window defined by the upper and lower thresholds PTH
It will be appreciated that even if the above condition is met and no AGC is performed during the pre-conditioning interval, further AGC operation like power measurements and gain settings can be performed during the data detection time interval in order to improve the gain settings.
Afterwards, the fingers positions known from the previous slots are checked. This is done by setting a relatively short search window Wo around the fingers positions known from the previous slots, or the positions interpolated on the basis of the previously estimated fingers movements (block 540). The window Wo is searched with a time resolution of typically � or 1 chip where each position is checked for dwell time of Do (block 550). All the positions with quality measure that exceed the threshold Qth_fo are declared as having a useful receive path.
Various quality measures can be applied. For example: power estimation of received path:
rj(i) is the de-spreader output of the jth symbol of the received signal of path i, Sj is the transmitted jth symbol (known to the receiver like in IS-95 pilot channel or estimated by the receiver at other applications) and Ep(i) is the estimated power of path i.
Alternatively, the estimated signal to noise and interference (SNIR) of each path can serve as a quality measure:
where It(i) is the estimated averaged sum of noise and interference at path i. It(i) can be estimated by:
A quality measure is then applied on the found paths. Various quality measures can be used, for example: estimated sum of powers of all found paths:
estimated sum of signal to noise and interference ratios on all found paths:
Those skilled in the art are aware of a variety of quality measures and methods of generating them.
If this quality measure exceeds a predefined threshold (block 560), the receiver goes into a sleep mode until the slot beginning (block 580). In this sleep mode, all parts of the receiver (RF parts and baseband parts) can be turned off except those parts which are needed for waking up the receiver at the slot start (such as a low power counter). If the quality criteria are not met, the search window around each finger, the dwell time and the quality threshold are updated, and steps 550 to 570 are repeated. Obviously, all thresholds can be adaptive.
Other search methods, such as the one known as "Multiple Dwell Search", can be employed (see for example: "Multiple Dwell Serial Search: Performance and Application to Direct Sequence Code Acquisition" by David M. DiCarlo and Charles L. Weber, IEEE Transaction on Communications, VOL. COM-31, No. 5, May 1983).
FIG. 6 illustrations another embodiment of the invention, wherein the received signal power measurement 640, the threshold comparison 650, and the AGC 670, are performed concurrently in parallel to the search window of steps 620, 690 and 680.
While the invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated that these are set forth merely for purposes of example, and that many other variations, modifications and applications of the invention may be made.

The Sealyham Terrier was originally developed to hunt foxes, otters and badgers however nowadays this dog breed is mainly used as a family companion. The average height of a Sealyham Terrier is 10 inches weighing about 20 to 24 pounds. They have a lifespan of 12 to 14 years.
Originally developed to hunt small game such as foxes, badgers and otters the Sealyham Terrier is considered to be the clown of the terrier family. This breed Is a good choice for a novice terrier owner and make an excellent family companion. The Sealyham Terrier loves all the energy demanding activities like fly-ball, Frisbee, running, swimming and many others. If he is left alone more than a few hours a day he might become anxious and might become very loud and destructive. The Sealyham Terrier is a great watchdog because he is very reserved with strangers and will always let you know when a stranger is approaching your property. He is known to behave well when children are around but very small children should always be well supervised when they encounter any type of dog breed because they might have the tendency to tease and no dog will accept that. Obedience training and early socialization are very important in this case and can make a big difference if you want to have a well behaved dog.
Sealyham Terrier Training:
The Sealyham Terrier can be a bit harder to train than other dog breeds but with a bit of perseveration you can accomplish this thing too. This dog breed can learn commands a bit slower than other dog breeds but once they learn something, they will never forget it so you shouldn't be worried that you are wasting your time with his training.
Sealyham Terrier Shedding:
Shedding should not concern you at all if you plan to buy a puppy from this type of dog breed. In fact you will never find a hair in your house because the Sealyham Terrier is not a type of dog breed that sheds hair.
Sealyham Terrier Grooming:
The Sealyham Terrier, like many other dog breeds, need daily exercise. Don't worry, those needs can be met quite easy with simple walks or playing some fun games. His coat needs to be shaped two or three months and proper brushing should be done every now and then.
Sealyham Terrier History:
The Sealyham Terrier was originally developed in the mid-1800s and was mainly used to hunt small game such as foxes, otters, badgers and others. He was a skilled hunter and still is even if hundreds of years have passed and he is more often used as a companion dog rather than a hunting dog.

I'm seriously considering getting some web server space so I can post an MP3 on here every now and then. Any recommendations? Does anybody want to let me piggyback - with financial compensation - onto their space? At most, we're talking five available mp3s each week and probably much less than that. I'm not actually looking to start an MP3 blog per se. There are plenty of those in existence. It's just that there are songs I love that I want to be OUT THERE. Songs where if I reach just one person blah blah it would all be worth it blah blah. The only rhyme or reason to my choices would be that, in my head, these are all #1 hits (which isn't the same as saying the song should be a #1 hit on Billboard, mind you). It makes sense to share songs with maximum personal appeal on a blog that's all about my take on things. If you've got advice and/or the hook-up, e-mail me.
While I'd probably try to avoid actual pop chart smashes, they might crop up now and then depending on how strongly I feel about them. A lot of net folk don't actually listen to the radio or watch MTV, so its possible they've never really latched onto a song despite the increased possibility of exposure. Two songs on the radio that give me the shivers every time I hear them are the Black Eyed Peas' "Where Is The Love?" and Eminem's "Like Toy Soldiers." I held off on engaging with the BEP track for a LONG time, ignoring the sentiments and wryly noting I liked the distorted keyb solo (I'm fond of using those myself) and how the chorus rips off Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn." The video is such a fuckin' Sprite ad that it took me months to even notice that much about the song. Following the election and the horseshit from both sides of the political spectrum that followed, the verse lyrics now turn me into such a sobbing baby that I forget to catch that overdriven casio. While it says something about how wack these guys used to be that they benefited from the addition of a former member of Kids Incorporated, I'm hoping their next album will be the inclusive mini-Thriller this country needs. They should to do a single with Big & Rich.
The Eminem track is easy to dismiss (multi-platinum artists should not be acknowledging the existence of Benzino), but unlike most extended journal entries I've seen about warmongers, Eminem comes from the perspective of someone who's aware of his own power. Macho hawks aren't some "other" that he can lash at from the sidelines; he acknowledges how his own aggression and desire for vengeance can affect the lives of others. While he's emotionally bolstered by the "save the children" Martika sample and I'm worried I'm engaging in unwarranted white-on-white lionization (does Eminem have to be the only white guy in the video and the only person who finds fault in the escalation of rap violence?), hearing such naked acceptance of personal responsibility is rather affecting.
You can hear the Black Eyed Peas track on their ugly-ass site and both videos are on Launch. I'll do my best to make sure that my eventual mp3s aren't all such sappies.
[update: my once and future drinking buddy Dave gave me the heads-up on a good server. Public display of gratitude to Dave!]

First Reading: Daniel 12,1-3
1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
Psalm: Psalms 16:5,8-11
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Second Reading: Hebrews 10:11-14,18
11 And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,
13 From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
18 Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
Gospel: Mark 13:24-32
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.
25 And the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven, shall be moved.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28 Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near.
29 So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors.
30 Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.
32 But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

Moonlight Cultural Foundation
Since 1974, the Moonlight Cultural Foundation has helped cultivate the arts, enhance the natural environment and assist the city of Vista's community service programs through fundraising of gifts and donations.
The nonprofit organization, originally called the Vista Foundation, was formed under the leadership of Frank Tiesen with the mission of working together with citizens to assure a pleasant and rewarding future for the community. The foundation's first official role was as custodian of funds for the construction of an amphitheatre in Brengle Terrace Park in 1975, as a gift to the city of Vista in honor of the nation's bicentennial.
The organization has continued to assist with the development of the Moonlight Amphitheatre through fundraising campaigns and events. The musical theatre is owned and operated by the city of Vista.
These activities have allowed capital improvements to be made, as well as increased the production value of the shows from one year to the next.
The foundation promotes philanthropy in North County, benefiting quality theatrical performances at the Moonlight Amphitheatre. In addition, the foundation funds youth theatre and educational outreach programs for children to introduce our next generation to the wonders of theatre.

We all experience doubt at some point while blogging. We wonder if what we are writing is good enough, worth reading, or will be read at all. We see all these other bloggers sharing posts and content that we sometimes consider is better than our own. It is at this point that we must make a decision. Do we stop blogging and hang up the towel or do we blog past the doubt.
I don't believe you ever fully lose the doubt. Confidence is a funny characteristic that is much like an undependable friend. One minute it is there egging you on into getting into a bar fight and the next moment "confidence" is nowhere to be found and shows up the next morning wondering what happened to your face. That is how fast we can lose the confidence we once had.
Far too often I'll read a post bemoaning someone's lack of skill at something. The individual will go on to wonder whether or not it is even worth continuing to share their work. I find these posts disheartening and not just because of the disheartened tone. It is frustrating to me that people forget so easily the value of their own opinion and words. They allow the mainstream news to dominate our feeds, clickbait articles to take over our readers, and the sharing of personal opinion to die soundlessly. This is the true tragedy to me.
Blogging past the doubt is more than just the courage to share your opinion. Blogging past the doubt means that you understand how valuable the sharing of opinion truly is. You recognize that the true tragedy isn't the quality of work we put out there. What is tragic is when we all go silent and refuse to share anything at all.

Sting agreed to Police reunion to alleviate his guilt
Veteran rocker Sting agreed to reunite The Police for a world tour in 2007 because he felt so guilty about making millions as a solo artist while his former bandmates struggled. The British musician found huge success as a solo star after the group disbanded in 1986, but admits he felt bad for guitarist Andy Summers and drummed Stewart Copeland as they failed to replicate his success.
Sting now reveals his feelings of guilt played a large part in his decision to reunite for a comeback trek, which ran from 2007 until 2008.
He tells Britain's The Guardian newspaper, "There was a certain amount of guilt. I needed to look after them to an extent. Not that they were begging, they're too proud for that. But they were very happy to do the tour. It was a f**king great pay day for them."

How Dark Should Your Room Really Be to Sleep?
An impressive machine, the human body is routinely affected by light and darkness: Daylight hours have plenty of power over our brains, naturally signaling to us when it's time to wake and rest. But modern living has given rise to a slew of unnatural light sources, and while we spend a good portion of our days indoors under the harsh fluorescents of the workplace, our bodies crave natural sunlight. Back in college, professors were always dangling the hope of an outdoors-hosted class in front of us, and we'd do well to invite the tradition into our professional routine. Alas, there is precious little wiggle room for lighting alternatives during the 9-to-5 day. However, one area where we all wield complete control is in the bedroom. A few adjustments to your morning and nighttime routines can help your body sync into its ideal natural rhythm.
If you live in a thriving metropolis, odds are your window is getting plenty of ambient light (and traffic sounds) at all hours of the night, and it's ever so subtly disrupting your sleep. Snoozing in a cave of pitch-black darkness may seem like a pipe dream, but science suggests it's something to shoot for. As our bedrooms become increasingly infiltrated by a host of modern conveniences, from reading tablets to iPhone docks, is all the extra gadgetry messing with our health?
Studies show excess light in the bedroom can affect sleep quality, disrupting the body's natural circadian rhythm. Artificial light, such as that on smartphones and TVs, cues the brain to wake up, thus suppressing the production of melatonin, your highly prized sleep-producing hormone. There's good news, though. Your body's sensitivity to light can be used to your advantage to catch stronger z's. The more light you can remove from your space, the better rest you'll get. Here's how to do it…
A survey by the National Sleep Foundation found that 95% of people use some sort of light-emitting device immediately before bed. The little blue lights from all the devices we can't live without fall on a short wavelength spectrum, making them extra potent when it comes to upsetting your internal clock. Lights from energy-saving blubs, laptops, and cell phones also delay melatonin release, making it harder to both get to sleep and stay asleep.
To seal out light from other rooms, particularly if you share your home and may have family members or roommates awake when you're sleeping, close your bedroom door. Better yet, take a walk through the house and turn out the lights in the hallway and neighboring rooms.
If your bedroom is exposed to street light, hang curtains or blinds to seal out unnatural light as much as possible. You'll still want natural light in the morning, so you don't have to go so far as blackout shades (although you can).
The bottom line is the only light in your bedroom should be natural light. Your body craves sunlight upon waking. Getting out into direct sunlight will give you a healthy dose of vitamin D. Revel in your sweet cocoon of darkness (as dark as possible, y'all) all night, and when it's time to wake up, go for the real thing. Open your blinds or enjoy your morning coffee outside.
Note: If you wake before dawn, invest in a dawn-simulating alarm. You can even find lights especially engineered to offset seasonal affective disorder—the moody blues that come with not enough exposure to natural sunlight.

Wie bereits in der Pressemitteilung von Gigi Madeddu's Boardsponsorwechsel vermutet war es nur eine Frage der Zeit bis der erste #SaBarraStyle Fahrer ebenfalls auf 99NoveNove Boards unterwegs sein wird. Rossel Bertoldo macht den Anfang und war mit dem gelben StylePro bereits auf den PWA Stops in Podersdorf und Leucate am Start. Der 25-jährige Freestyler hat sein Level in kürzester Zeit auf Worldcup Niveau geschraubt und mit 99 NoveNove noch viel vor..
25 year old freestyler resident in Sa Barra (Sant'Antioco, Sardina) from Desio (Milan), Rossel Bertoldo, joins 99NoveNove Team. Rossel is one of the #SaBarraStyleProject boys, a project headed by Gigi Madeddu, who is also a 99NoveNove team rider. These boys are training in the famous and 'social' Sardinian spot of Sa Barra which is ideal for freestyle and they have achieved outstanding levels. This year Rossel will take part in the PWA Tour with his new StylePro boards. All the 99NoveNove Team wishes Rossel a satisfactory and succesfull season.
'Being in the 99NoveNove team is a very important achievement and an occasion which I will capatilise on to the best of my abilities. Being part of the brand led by Cesare Cantagalli is a great motivation for me, Cesare made the history of Italian, European and Worldwide windsurfing.
Another reason to be very proud is surely the 'Made in Italy' a synonymous of high quality and style.
Gianni Valdambrini is a plus, a shaper who does not need any introduction and who has already been very keen to listen to my opinions and the ones coming from Windsurfing Club Sa Barra.
The collaboration between riders and manufacturers is a key strategy and what every rider desires, it makes me very happy in view of this new adventure.'
QUOTE FROM CESARE CANTAGALLI (Brand Manager and Founder)
'The entry of Rossel Bertoldo into our fresh 99NoveNove Italian Team is also very important to contribute to the activity of Gigi Madeddu in terms of promotion and work in the Sa Barra Windsurfing Center of Gigi. In this way the staff of Windsurfing Club Sa Barra in Sardinia, which is now a 99NoveNove Windsurfing Center, has two outstanding Italian windsurfers who will be able to advise professionally the clients of the Center. Further, Rossel is a promising athlete who has improved in a very short time and is now ready for the PWA and he will be a reference point for younger windsurfers for whom 99NoveNove has many projects. For all the above reasons I am very proud and happy to have Rossel in our Team!'

Just a quick look around the SEC shows how crazy yesterday was.
Exhibit one: Arkansas over Tennessee 68-65 at home. Yes, the Hogs are now 11-3, but they have beaten no one. They have lost by double digits to any decent team they have played (Texas A&M, Texas) and to UAB. Yes, Tennessee is in a bad place, but they have a huge talent advantage over the Razorbacks. Does this mean Reynolds is that much of a factor? Possibly, but still this is a disheartening loss for the Vols.
Exhibit two: South Carolina over Vandy by two in Columbia. Not sure what to read into this one. The Gamecocks are up one night and down another. Vandy had been steady and had a couple of decent wins. Still, when the game went to OT, I don't think anyone could have thought Vandy would be the team that was out played and gassed in the OT.
Exhibit three: Alabama all over Mississippi State. The Bizzaro Dawgs looked to be ok after the fighting and suspensions. Ready to move past it all. Apparently, not so much. The Tide, who has shown the ability to lose to much lesser teams, took it to Miss State. They had a 22-7 run in the second half to win it.

Fly in a Bottle Trailer (2011)
Taking a look into the minds and lives of Medeski Martin & Wood, drummer/percussionist, Billy Martin, directed the first feature film in the band's history titled, Fly in a Bottle. Working through a yearlong period of personal 16mm film and HD camcorder footage of MMW on the road and in the studio during the Radiolarians recordings, the film provides an extremely intimate portrait of the band. It highlights the trio's intricate relationships with each other and with the music they have worked to create over 20 years as a band.

Limitations in InfoPath 2007
October 20, 2006
I've just started looking at InfoPath 2007 on the behalf of a customer, since they need some forms software. I liked the idea of the new InfoPath since it, unlike the 2003 version, doesn't require any software being installed on the client computer.
However, I've discovered two important limitations that need workarounds. I don't know why they aren't enabled by default in InfoPath, it sounds like an easy enough thing to do for Microsoft:
1) In order to publish the form to a web page, you need to either have the web page in SharePoint or modify your aspx-page a little. Not a lot of work, but it still sounds like something that you could make less complex.
2) If you want the forms data to be saved to a database, the InfoPath client has to be installed on your (assuming you're the form filler) computer. Or you'd (the developer you) have to construct a web service, which InfoPath can use to indirectly communicate with the database. Direct communication from a web form is not supported.
At least that's what I've understood so far by reviewing the documentation for InfoPath 2007. I haven't really put my hands on it yet, but hopefully it will be soon.
One really nice thing is the intergration with SharePoint 2007 and Visual Studio, which probably should make heavily customized solutions easy to design and implement.

House Speaker John Boehner put a big dent in any remaining hope for immigration reform this year at his Thursday morning presser.
"One of the biggest obstacles we face is the one of trust," Boehner said. "The American people, including many of my members, don't trust that the reform that we're talking about would be implemented as it's intended to be."
Saying that President Obama makes changes to the Affordable Care Act "on a whim, whenever he likes," the speaker said he and his caucus harbor "widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws. And it's going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes."
Last week, the House GOP rolled out a draft of immigration principles at its annual retreat. The principles gave some hope to immigration-reform advocates that something could actually get done this year, especially with Republicans seemingly open to giving legal status (but not citizenship) for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. On Thursday, Boehner said that the set of suggestions are "principles that our members by and large support."
It's not at all clear what, if anything, the White House could actually do to fix the trust problem. And it's entirely possible that "trust" is just a convenient cover for something to the effect that, "The draft principles didn't really go over well with the caucus, we don't have the votes, but we'd like to pin the blame for stalemate on someone else." But regardless of what's behind it, the new attitude could make it very tough for anything to happen this year.
