The Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0 drive is made of aircraft-grade anodized aluminum, advertised to be waterproof to 200 meters and resistant to both vibration and shock. Corsair advertises it as being up to four times faster than USB 2.0 drives, though its statistics are poky compared with other USB 3.0 drives in this report. If you don't need an indestructible USB flash drive, consider the ConsumerSearch Best Reviewed Patriot SuperSonic (*Est. $60 for 32 GB) , which has an aluminum housing rated at 15Gs of shock.
Corsair's Flash Survivor USB flash drive line has received plenty of positive review attention over the years. The newest flavor, the Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0, debuted in fall 2011, making it too new for a large number of reviews. However, the case and abuse resistance are what most people buy this drive for, and that hasn't changed from the USB 2.0 versions: the Corsair Flash Survivor GT and GTR. Those drives have been discontinued in favor of the USB 3.0 version. Like all USB 3.0 drives, it is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 ports.
We found reviews of the current Flash Survivor 3.0 version on Amazon.com and Newegg.com. Older reviews by EverythingUSB.com and Phoronix.com of a previous version of the Flash Survivor, the Corsair Flash Survivor GT, include durability testing of the case, which is unchanged in the new model.

The small number of users reviewing the new Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0 drive are evenly split between 4 and 5 (out of 5) star ratings. Those who downgraded it dinged Corsair for not including a USB extension cable and lanyard, common in other Corsair USB flash drive products. Users comment that the drive is rather large, but that it feels indestructible and survives nicely in purse or backpack. "It's one of the toughest things I've ever owned," writes one user who used it while stationed in Iraq.

2. NewEgg.com
Newegg's tech-savvy audience hasn't yet reviewed the Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0 drive in great numbers, but those that have award it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Several even post speed-benchmark test results, which compare favorably to other "rugged" drives but lag far behind the Best Reviewed Patriot SuperSonic in speed. Users liked the sturdiness and feel, but disliked the lack of accessories and the size.

A previous version of the Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0 drive, the Flash Survivor GT, which has the same casing, is tested for durability. After dropping it in the pool, editors are pleased to see that no moisture penetrated the casing. Though the drive has noticeable surface damage after being dropped from a rooftop and run over with a car, the Survivor GT continued to work, with no data loss.

4. Phoronix.com
Editor Michael Larabel takes a previous version of the Corsair Flash Survivor USB 3.0 flash drive, the Flash Survivor GT, into an 8-foot swimming pool, boils it for 10 minutes and attacks it with a hammer, all of which result in no internal damage, and very little surface damage. These results, along with comparative speed tests, leave him impressed. Both versions of the flash drive have the same durable casing.

I think this would be a correct answer:
I played on a Roland one, it had two pedals. One for the bass drum, and one for the hit hat. The hit hat pedal was working like if you stepped on it, it sounded like you stepped on an acoustic, you got even different sound if you hit the hit hat while the pedal was pushed or not. The reason the tricks didn't worked - the drum set's chips aren't able to memorize, count, and transform the resonance of the hit-hats. (hope I used the right words)

Of the five partners and employees at Next Element Consulting, four are left handed.
That may not mean anything, they said, but it seems significant that the person who handles the firm's finances and marketing, Michele Ediger, is the only right-hander.
The other four engage daily in trying to transform organizations and their leaders through listening, testing, coaching and training. They help companies, schools, government agencies and nonprofit groups deal with conflict, improve leadership and communication, and measure those results to validate effectiveness.
"We focus on team dynamics, training and team building for companies," said partner Jamie Remsberg. "We'll create simulations where people's true colors come out so that we can better deal with them."
Partner Nate Regier said that he could tell within 15 minutes at a company staff meeting whether there is a problem, what it is and how deep it is just by listening to how people talk, what they say and watching their body language.
Measuring is crucial, Regier said. The coaching they do, and the systems they put in place must result in real change, or there is no return on investment, Regier said.
"It's outcomes driven," he said. "We collect tons of data to show what's working and what's not."
Some of their larger clients locally include Wesley Medical Center and a school district in the suburban Minneapolis, Minn., area.
They have disputes among themselves, of course. But as experts in organizational behavior, they practice what they preach.
"Conflicts happen every day, but we work through them," Regier said.
"It's exhausting because we're not willing to ignore what's going on," said Ediger. "I love my partners because they helped me be a better person."
What sets Next Element apart nationwide is its entrepreneurial spirit, Regier said.
It has developed a new product and system, the Next Element Outcome System or NEOS, for which it trains other consultants and for which it licenses the use. It's an easy-to-use nine-question questionnaire that the partners say will reveal how people feel and are functioning. The firm has also developed a smartphone app called Pocket PCM (Process Communication Model) and a soon-to-be-published book, "Stop the Drama, A Guide to Compassionate Accountability in Business and Personal Relationships."
"What's our market?" Regier said. "If there are two or more people working toward a goal, that's our market."

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
In most filters that perform notifications, whether to sender, recipient, or another party, the notification should include data about the message triggering the filter. This is especially true of notifications about dropped or modified messages, or messages that match sensitive data rules. You could create notifications with custom text for each possible matching condition, but it's far better to include data from the message in question. Users who know exactly why a message was modified or undeliverable will open fewer support tickets and have a clear idea of the rules being enforced. The filters engine on the ESA provides action variables that allow you to include this data.
Action variables start with a $ and are limited to a specific list of supplied variables. You've already seen several examples of action variables in this chapter. I used $RemoteIP to add the sender's IP address to the headers of a message.

Tracy's Karate teaches simple, practical self-defense via the fusion karate technique of Kenpo, which incorporates moves from kung fu, jujitsu, Japanese, and Okinawan martial arts. Whether you're seeking fitness, self-defense skills, or training for time travel back to the 1980s, classes at Tracy's Karate will fill the boot.
When Aikido instructor Elliot Freeman discovered martial arts as a teenager, his interest knew no bounds. He searched for and attempted to master as many forms as he could find, including Kendo, Tae Kwando, and sword. When he heard rumors that the mysterious style known as Aikido could grant practitioners the ability to throw people across the room without touching them or secretly attaching their pant legs to a trebuchet, he knew he found what would be the bedrock to his entire career. He eventually studied under acclaimed Aikido masters, earned top ratings in the National Karate Assocation and American Karate Association, and formed various programs and dojos. In 1993 Freeman journeyed to St. Louis to study with action-film star Sensei Steven Seagal at his Aikido summer camp. Seagal became so impressed with Freeman that he asked him to open a new school in St. Louis. Freeman readily agreed, founding Three Rivers Aikido where he still acts as chief instructor alongside many other Master Instructors. Freeman, along with 12 other Aikido instructors, welcomes students of all ages to come and train within the 3,500-square-foot dojo.
In addition to the martial-arts training offered at the dojo, Yoga instructor Alyona Komolova, a former Russian ballerina, offers classes to help students increase flexibility. Tai Chi Instructor Justin Meehan, a martial-arts veteran of 38 years, instructs attendees in tai chi, a relaxing flow of prescribed motions that balance body and mind.
Master Ken O'Neill, who has been practicing martial arts since 1969, and has experience with Aikido, Mauy Thai, Filipino Kali-Escrima, jujustu, Russian Systema, and more.
The sounds of flailing feet and fists correctly striking padded opponents pervade Absolute Martial Arts' 3,600-square-foot facility, where students learn how to lose weight, tone up, and defend themselves simultaneously. Atop a large mat that the staff disinfects daily, professional instructors lead structured muay-thai kickboxing classes that slowly introduce exercisers to the fundamentals of the 1,000-year-old sport, which is similar to kickboxing and dissimilar to napping. Many of the trainers, including Thai-native Master Toddy, boast years of extensive training and practice, pushing students beyond their perceived limits but always keeping their safety in mind. It also offers Brazilian jiu jitsu and mixed-martial-arts classes to allow students a chance to explore new forms or augment their muay-thai practice.
Marauding monsters and startling special effects thrill visitors wandering through the winding limestone caverns beneath Lemp Mansion in what HauntWorld.com called "one of the most unique and realistic haunts we've ever reviewed." Speed passes whisk visitors past tedious lines through the gothic 1860s mansion's ornate gates and eerie archways to a century-old freight elevator. The historic conduit drops visitors 50 feet below street level into the damp St. Louis underground, the former site of Lemp's brewery that was abandoned more than 100 years ago due to workers' constant bickering over the difference between stalactites and stalagmites. Rusty pipes and ancient relics of machinery decorate the musty caverns as visitors wind through 20,000 square feet of intense audio, strobe lights, fog, and moving floors. High-tech animatronics, including a massive mechanical alligator, bide their time along with hideous beasts, corpses, brawling zombie gangsters, rats, bats, and lost members of the Milwaukee Brewers. To escape, visitors must eventually scale a towering staircase to the safety of the surface while quelling urges to check whether Eurydice is behind them.
When asked about their teaching qualifications, the instructors at Finney's HIT Squad—including Jesse Finney himself—all point to their win records. All of them have a competitive fighting history in their chosen disciplines, and several have earned championships or black belts. As full-time employees of the gyms, they school guests on MMA, kickboxing, boxing, Brazilian jujitsu, and wrestling. They also access their inside knowledge of the industry for fighter-development programs, which strive to transform beginners into professional combatants without stuffing them into hollowed-out punching-bag cocoons for 5 years. For amateurs and experts alike, they assert that "you fight how you train," and aim to simulate official rounds inside their onsite cages, boxing rings, and matted arenas. In 2011, their professional chops helped Finney's HIT Squad take the title of Best MMA Gym in the Riverfront Times Best of St Louis feature.
Despite their investment in competitions, however, the staffers view the two gyms as all-inclusive spaces. Whether they are instilling confidence in children through kids' jujitsu, orienting a new member to the fitness equipment, or leading a women-only martial-arts class, they mentor students of all backgrounds.
Bryan Guidry and Dave Burke lead students of all levels and ages through a variety of martial-arts classes. They teach students the grappling maneuvers of Brazilian jujitsu, the throwing moves of judo, and the kneeing and elbowing of kickboxing.

Several athletes will represent Marion County this weekend at the Special Olympics State Basketball Tournament held in Morgantown.
The opening ceremonies for the event are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. today at Morgantown High School. Approximately 700 Special Olympics athletes and volunteer coaches from around the state are expected to be in attendance.
Athletes will participate in team basketball, individual skills basketball and cheerleading competitions, all of which will be held at either Morgantown High or the West Virginia University Student Recreation Center.
In addition to the basketball tournament games, the cheerleading competitions will consist of a sideline cheer, floor cheer and dance routine, while the individual skills portion of the event will include dribbling and foul-shot competitions.
Krista Vassil, the fundraising coordinator for the Marion County Special Olympics, said that this is an event that the athletes especially look forward to.
"This is one of their favorite times of the year," Vassil said. "They really just love it."
According to Vassil, the athletes, who range in age from 9 to 60, have been practicing weekly since December in preparation for the tournament.
Vassil's daughter, Kaitlyn, is a Marion County cheerleader in today's event and has been a participant in previous years.
"I like it. It's a very relaxing time," Vassil said. "I'm excited."

Forestry experts recommend returning to bare-root planting for trees.
Rob McGovern, a vegetation management coordinator with Empire District Electric Co., said that cleaning the dirt off tree roots and trimming the large roots will result in a sturdier tree at maturity. McGovern demonstrated the bare-root planting technique on Friday at an Arbor Day observance that went on at Parr Hill Park despite a chilly rain.
When planting a container-grown tree, McGovern recommends washing the roots off and digging a four-inch deep hole. The bare roots should be spread out in a loose arrangement before covering with dirt.
McGovern demonstrated small trees with roots that curved downward or wrapped around the base of the trunk or the rootball. He said the curve of those roots needs to be cut off so that the root is straight. Circling or downward curved roots choke off the air and water supply to the tree.
A tree McGovern planted four years ago without trimming the roots has died of that condition along with rabbit damage, he said.
The result of bare-root planting is a healthier tree because the roots can more easily search out water and air, he said. A healthier trunk and limbs will allow a tree to bend in high winds rather than falling over, he said.
"You're going back to the old way of planting in the 1800s," said Jon Skinner, an urban forester with the Missouri Department of Conservation, before trees were bought in containers.
Empire, the state Conservation Department and the city of Joplin sponsored the Arbor Day celebration, and gave away trees and shrubs.
Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean read a proclamation declaring an Arbor Day observance in Joplin. Skinner recognized the city for its designation as a Tree City USA and Empire District as a Tree Line USA utility by the Arbor Day Foundation.
The designations are made based on efforts to keep trees and plant new ones, and efforts to educate people on the value of trees.
"The city has done a good job of re-establishing the tree canopy since the tornado," Skinner said. Those efforts to earn and maintain its Tree City designation include the appointment of a tree board to recommend tree standards for the city and allocating money to plant tree.
City Manager Mark Rohr last year set a goal to plant 20,000 trees within three years and this year increased the goal to 25,000, saying that 8,700 trees were planted in the first year of the effort.
Empire's recognition as a Tree Line USA utility also is based on using best practices in trimming and preserving trees, worker training and tree-based energy conservation efforts.
"Empire has endeavored to earn that recognition and has been doing so quite well," Skinner said. He presented Colbert-Kean and Martin Penning, vice president of operations at Empire, with Arbor Day plaques.
Julie Maus, with Empire District, said the utility's education efforts are important because "(electrical) outages are preventable if we get people in the mindset of planting the right tree in the right place."

Inventors Quiz and Trivia FunHave fun testing your knowledge about famous inventors and inventions by taking an Inventors trivia quiz and win (funny) money by answering each triva game question correctly.
- Quiz #1 Mixed Trivia Questions
- Quiz #2 Mixed Trivia Questions
- Quiz #3 Black Inventors Trivia
- Quiz #4 Mothers of Invention
- Quiz #5 Famous Canadians Trivia
- Quiz #6 Car Invention Trivia
Now a Little Quiz HistoryThe first recorded use of the word "trivial" in English occurred around 1589. Triva games became popular in the 1960s, when Columbia University students, Carlinsky and Goodgold, wrote the first inter-collegiate quizzes to test unimportant facts found in a book titled, Trivia.
Trivial Pursuit was first conceived on December 15, 1979 by Chris Haney and Scott Abbott. The two friends came up with the basic concept of Trivial Pursuit within a few short hours. The pair were playing a game of Scrabble when they decided to invent their own game. However, it was not until 1981 that the board game was commercially released.

What's that light or appliance costing me? At the Croton Energy Group, we can't resist new gadgets. But…before we bring them to a client, we test them out.
When designing an energy back up system, a key question is how much of the building's load should or must be served during the power outage conditions. We call that the critical load: What can I live without and still be comfortable?
In order to answer that question, we need to estimate the critical load hidden with your building's base electric load.
We can estimate the size of a critical load using generic or owner's manual wattages for each appliance.
Or we can identify it precisely using a neat gadget like TED. We're not talking about Ted, the bear! TED stands for The Energy Detective.
In the video, Patrick shows how TED's measurement units attach to circuits in a service panel. In our case, we have TED attached to 3 different circuits: the refrigerator, the oil burner, and the entire load for a home.
In addition to measurement units and transmitters at the service panel, TED comes with a nice hand-held monitor and charging dock.
Our goal is to see and record real time use changes to isolate the really critical devices. As we walk though the home, turning fixtures and appliances on and off, TED shows us the change in about 5 seconds.
As you can see in the video, with the lights on in this kitchen, we use 518 watts, which would cost us about $0.06 per hour.
When we turn off the lights presto! We see the real-time use drop to 342 watts per hour at a cost of about $0.04 per hour in the second photo.
Therefore, we have just confirmed that this kitchen's lighting requires 176 watts, regardless of what we estimated. This instant real-time reading is much easier than checking inside each fixture to record the lamp and ballast wattage. And this is much more accurate than using generic wattages.
TED also comes with dashboard software that captures and records the transmitted energy use. You can view this and analyze this data numerous different ways on your computer.
Third party apps are available as well that allow you to view TED"s output remotely, via a web portal from anywhere. Here is a screen shot of one such energy management app from Eragy.

There was no place like home for the contestants on Wednesday's American Idol, as the Top 12 performed songs that captured the spirit of their hometowns.
But the judges weren't feeling warm and fuzzy. Instead they were harsh on the majority of the performers, with one of last week's standouts, Jessica Meuse, taking some of the harshest criticism after her performance of Dido's "White Flag."
"You were sharp the whole time," Harry Connick Jr. said, calling the pink-haired singer's performance "blasé". "When anybody hits a high note, people applaud … that didn't happen tonight. You were so off."

American Idol's Top 13 debuted Wednesday, choosing songs that expressed who they are as artists and people.
And, overall, the girls did a better job of that, according to the judges, with Emily Piriz, 18, singing Pink's "Glitter in the Air," and earning unabashed praise from tough, oft-booed Harry Connick Jr. who said simply, "I'm proud of you."
"That was big for Harry!" Jennifer Lopez laughed, with Urban immediately adding, "I was waiting for the 'but.' "
Originally posted 02/22/2014 03:30PM
Harry Connick Jr. has only been on American Idol for half a season but he has already been booed more than his fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban combined.
"As a performer you really hope to not be booed but here it just shows that the audience is really engaged," Connick, 46, tells PEOPLE.
And despite the negative critiques some of the contestants have received throughout the season, they remain positive about the jazz artist and his comments.

It may have been ladies night Tuesday on American Idol, but the boys stole the spotlight Wednesday.
Once again, the judges only called to the stage the 10 singers who impressed them most, eliminating the remaining five.
Rocker Caleb Johnson, 22, kicked things off and stayed true to form with "Stay With Me," a "real rock star" performance according to Jennifer Lopez, who added, "It's your time."

There were new twists, familiar faces and loads of drama on American Idol Tuesday night, as the ladies kicked off the first of the live performance shows.
The new twists? In what was dubbed Rush Week, the judges reviewed tapes of the Top 15 Girls and picked the 10 that impressed them the most to perform, surprising the ladies one at a time.
The familiar faces? Randy Jackson, the "Dogfather" of Idol, was back to mentor the contestants, leading a sort of Rush Week "wisdom workshop" for the pledges, which included vocal coaching from former Idol contestants Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry, and guidance from stylists, a movement coach, and a pair of spiritual advisers.

The final contestants were added to American Idol's Top 30 Thursday night … almost.
In a surprise twist, the judges couldn't decide which singer would round out the Top 15 Boys and, for the first time, are leaving it up to America to choose.
And it all came down to the odd couple: country singer Ben Briley, 24, who sang "Stars" for his final solo performance, and silky voiced Neco Starr, 22, who sang "Halo" by Beyoncé despite battling a cold.

After thousands of auditions, hundreds of golden tickets and weeks of performances, there was a first on Wednesday's American Idol: An openly gay contestant made the Top 30.
M.K. Nobilette, 20, broke that barrier, saying, "I'm very obviously gay, and there are always gonna be people in America … who will definitely hate me, but I think that in the last two years there have been a lot of things that have really changed that."
"The world is changing," said Jennifer Lopez, "and we think you could be an American Idol."

The group round of American Idol's Hollywood Week is always filled with drama, and this year was no exception: Harry Connick Jr. quit the competition.
As a joke, of course.
"I am dropping out of the judges' panel," Connick said, after the surprising exit of Tiquila Wilson, who quit without warning to follow her dreams of becoming a gospel artist.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Survivors, rescue workers and the family members of victims of the Oklahoma City bombing have observed the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attack.
About 1,500 people gathered Saturday at the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building to remember those lost in the April 19, 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
Gov. Mary Fallin says the horror and brutality of the attack can never be forgotten. Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said the Oklahoma City National Memorial, located on the site of the former federal building, serves as a lasting tribute to those who lost their lives.
Following the ceremony, families placed wreaths, flowers and children's toys on 168 empty chairs on the grounds of the memorial that represent each of the bombing's victims.

Today is day 21 of my 40 day fast and yes I would like to eat. However, I must stress to you that I am not hungry and I have not had a hunger pain in 21 days. I know in my heart and mind that my desire to eat is much greater than the anticipation of what the food would taste like and how I would feel after eating.
I believe the greatest lesson that I have learned on this 40 day journey to date is…The Christian world or at least the vast majority in America have either ignored or never heard of the Spiritual Discipline of fasting. There are a lot of problems associated with this.
Problem #1. If you are a Christian and you have never heard of this, it means that you are not studying the scriptures for yourself. I say this because it is painfully obvious if you read the scripture that men and women of God have fasted for more than six thousand years. You will also find that Jesus expected that His followers would fast. You will also find that fasting is just as important and compared or contrasted with prayer and giving of the tithe. Now, there is an obvious problem when it comes to tithing also but that is for another time.
Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
II Timothy 2:15 says, "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
John 5:39 says, "Search the Scriptures diligently (Study) because you think that in them you possess eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me."
These scriptures are a starting place. God has called us to know Him and many of us have professed to know Him and yet we have neglected to know who He is and how He acts in our lives.

Saltsman Running Fleischmann Campaign on Volunteer Basis
Despite recent setbacks regarding litigation and his own critical remarks about his job, Chip Saltsman, U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann's chief of staff, said Tuesday that his indefinite, unpaid leave of absence is "all part of the plan."
More from Chris Carroll:
Saltsman has been on leave since June 8, but Fleischmann's office never publicly announced the news.
Interviewed Tuesday, Saltsman, who earned more than $156,000 last year as Fleischmann's top aide, said he left the government payroll to supervise "all aspects of Chuck's campaign" on a volunteer basis until at least Aug. 2, when Fleischmann faces three challengers in a hotly contested 3rd Congressional District Republican primary.
Saltsman described the "long-planned leave of absence" as "a pretty common thing for chiefs of staff to do," but his remarks to a national media outlet two days before he left were anything but ordinary.
On June 6, the website Politico published a story quoting Saltsman as saying, "I didn't want to take the job as [Fleischmann's] chief of staff. I said 'No' the first three times he asked me."
Saltsman acknowledged the comments Tuesday.
"I've loved working for Chuck, but you know, that was not my first choice," Saltsman said. "That's not what I was going to do the first time around."
Fleischmann's office did not make the first-term congressman available for an interview Tuesday, but in the June 6 article, Politico quoted him describing Saltsman as "an outstanding individual."
Not long before Saltsman's leave of absence became public, the Chattanooga Times Free Press published excerpts of a deposition Saltsman gave in a lawsuit brought against him and Fleischmann by Mark Winslow, a former aide to Fleischmann's top 2010 opponent, Hamilton County's Robin Smith.
A 2010 attack ad mentioned in the lawsuit alleged that Smith, a former state GOP chairwoman, paid "lavish bonuses" to a top aide at a time the party was in debt. That claim appeared to be debunked when Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney said he was the one who paid Winslow as part of a severance agreement.
In his own deposition, Fleischmann testified he had no literal grounds to make the "lavish bonuses" charge against Smith.

From the blogosphere to microblogging platforms, the World Wide Web is full of tweeple (over) using tired tech expressions -- like the four we just dropped here.
Silicon Valley has added a host of catchy new terms to our vocabulary -- "tweeting," "Googling," "friending," "Skyping" -- but it's also spawned some truly awful expressions that are trite, overly-wordy, or just plain gobbledygook. There are a few we absolutely hate; words like "weblog" -- it's just a blog -- or "influencer." If we hear any of these once more, it will be one time too many.
Check out the gallery below to see our list of tech terms we would prefer to just die already. You've got to have your own list of tech expressions you abhor, so share them with us! Click "Add a Slide," leave your thoughts in the comments, or tweet us your suggestion at @HuffPostTech.
Going Viral
Remember the infamous viral video where this photo is from? The phrase "going viral" has been so overused in the media that it has almost lost all meaning. A particular story or video "goes viral" if it spreads around the web reaching most major news organizations, blogs and social media sites like a disease. Our personal favorite use of the term is within an article itself; nothing ensures a story will go viral, like using "going viral" in a headline.
There's no way the terms "social network" or "social media" are going away. Our beef is with "social" used as an adjective or noun all on its own, as in, "We really need to work on social," or "He's really good at social." Saying "social" repeatedly is like verbal hand-waving: It feels like it's too often used in place of specific details about what needs to be done or what features really work.
Back in the early days of blogs, fancy words like blogosphere were used to describe the thousands-turned-millions of personal, opinionated accounts that popped up around the web. These days blogs dominate the web. So let's just call it what it is -- a blog. (Image via Flickr, Dave Bleasdale)
Social Media Guru
As social media has assumed greater importance for companies and individuals, mastering the art of tweeting or status updat-ing (or at least claiming to have done so) has become more and more widespread (and profitable). And there's an unfortunate title that's become au courant as a result: "social media guru." Not everyone can be a social media guru, even though they claim to be. Like many outdated tech terms, this phrase as lost meaning because of its overuse. The Telegraph calls social media gurus  a "rag-tag crew of blood-sucking hucksters who are infesting companies of all sizes, on both sides of the Atlantic, blagging their way into consultancy roles and siphoning off valuable recession-era marketing spend to feed their comic book addictions." (Photo credit: Getty)
Anything '--Ninja'
Like "social media 'guru,'" the term "social media 'ninja'" (or any role described as "-ninja" that doesn't involve actually being a ninja) has ceased to be clever (if it ever was). "If you think clients--you know, the serious ones that everyone wants--are amused by Jedis and ninjas selling them social media, think again," writes PRDaily.  "The whole social media Jedi/ninja thing is supposed to make work more fun... Now it's reached the point of ridicule, and it really hurts the sector more than anything."
Information Superhighway
This term may be a blast from the past for most, however, some are still trying to revive the 1990s phrase that referred to the web. It's dead. Let's not bring it back. (Image via Flickr, Ben Lerchin)
Internet Telephone
VoIP, or "Voice Over IP," has officially overtaken the term "Internet telephone." It's shorter, cleaner and hasn't been overused -- brand names such as Skype are often used in place of the term. (Photo credit: Getty)
Since Twitter made its debut more than six years ago, blogging on a miniature scale or microblogging took off as users could post personal thoughts, ideas and announcements in 140 characters or less. Lengthy blog posts were no longer required and and tweets could be sent out in a a matter of seconds. Although tweeting and Facebook status updates have stuck around, the term microblogging has not. (Photo credit: Getty)
Sure, sites like Kickstarter still use this phrase, so it's not as outmoded as the rest. But the thing that really perturbs us is the term itself. Couldn't we have thought of something better than switching one syllable in outsourcing? (Photo credit: Getty)
We just hate this word. It reminds us of a businessman trying to rally his employees to work together for the better good. Put synergy in the cliche category. (Photo credit: Alamy)
Tweeple made the rounds in the initial years of Twitter, referring to Twitter users. Now, the blending of Twitter and people is no longer useful or catch. Since more than 140 million users have signed up for the social media service, Twitter users aren't people -- they're everyone. Remember this sad twerson? (See, it just doesn't work.) (Photo credit: AP)
World Wide Web
Like information superhighway, World Wide Web is a term from the early days of the Internet. The phrase has since been shortened to web, since world and wide (note the two separate words) are redundant. (Photo credit: Getty)
Although this term now refers to a search engine brand name, we still remember it as the combination of technical and literati, meaning technical intellectuals. Technorati had its heyday and now needs to die a slow, painful death. (Photo credit: AP)
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
Personal digital assistants used to be all the rage when phones still flipped open. Now, with all-encompassing smartphones like the iPhone, Android and -- should we even mention? -- Blackberry controlling the market, the PDA has become obsolete. (Image via Flickr, Carlos Duarte)
iPhone Killer
Every once in a while, a new smartphone from a company like Samsung comes to market, looking to crush the iPhone. After WWDC 2012 and the unveiling of iOS 6, it seems the iPhone competitors have a tough act to follow. (Photo credit: Getty)

Editor Q&A: Chloe Malle and Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis
It's been a big week for these two Vogue editors—both in their first year at the magazine. First, they were feted with a party in New York and, second, we asked them questions about everything from their fashion inspirations to the ideal place to grab a bite and what, in their opinion, will be the best parties of the year. Together, they offer their tips for a much more stylish 2012.
1 of 12
Chloe Malle, Social Editor
2 of 12
Q: What do you wear to the Vogue offices?
"I am basically wearing my Thakoon Masai plaid parka which injects a necessary pop of color into New York's January landscape, and my black knee high boots. My idea of work dressing is a fine line between schoolmistress and Hitchcock heroine."
Lanvin crinkled-leather knee boots, $1,090
3 of 12
Q: What are some of your favorite places to go out in New York City?
"Film Forum and Pulino's Bar & Pizzeria in Manhattan; Hotel Delmano and DuMont Burger in Brooklyn."
4 of 12
Q: Which parties are you looking forward to this year? What will you wear?
"I always like the ballet and opera benefits because you get to attend the opening night of the performance and it always makes me feel like I am in an Edith Wharton novel. Also, last year was my very first Costume Institute Gala at the Met, and that was pretty spectacular.
I am a bit vertically challenged so it's hard for me to find long dresses that don't make a puddle of fabric on the floor. When I do find a dress that fits or I get something perfectly altered, I tend to wear it proudly. I am a big fan of the bright-colored evening gown—J. Mendel and Zac Posen have beautiful ones—and for less formal events, I love an embellished jacket. It looks both sumptuous, but sleekly tailored."
Marc by Marc Jacobs Tela sparkle sweater, $498
5 of 12
Q: Whose style—past or present—do you most admire?
"I always admire the way Lauren Bacall dressed in To Have and Have Not, all tailored suits and sly humor. It may be lame to say, but I am also a big fan of my mother [Candice Bergen]'s style; from her Belgian loafers to her oversize jewelry, she always hits the mark."
6 of 12
Q: What piece do you most covet from the spring collections?
"I loved the oversaturated florals from Creatures of the Wind, Ralph Lauren's Gatsby pastels, and Louis Vuitton's oversize eyelet. I would also be thrilled to wear one of Oscar de la Renta's spring ball dresses."
Creatures of the Wind floral jacquard and black lace over blazer, $1,520, and reverse floral jacquard pleated Greta skirt, $1,120
Ikram, Chicago, 312.587.1000
7 of 12
Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, Style Editor at Large
8 of 12
Q: Which parties are you looking forward to this year? What will you wear?
"Our wild boar shoot at our home in Germany is always a riot because we invite lots of friends. We spend the day out in the woods, but then we get all dressed up in long gowns to dance around in the evenings. I also love art-fair parties—like those at the Venice Biennale.
As for what I might wear, my mantra is that, no matter how chic the event, I don't want to look too prim. I like wearing short cocktail frocks to black-tie events, it just always feels more like me, and a bright red lip is always a staple."
M.A.C. Lipstick in Russian Red, $15
Prabal Gurung purple surreal floral print drop-waist dress with plunging back, $2,195
Prabal Gurung, NYC, 646.351.6199
9 of 12
Q: What are your favorite New York spots?
"I love going to The Waverly Inn for a cozy bite with friends, and Tiny's in TriBeCa is always fun."
10 of 12
Q: What piece do you most covet from the spring collections?
"I love the slightly over-the-top, girlie, and cartoonish elements a lot of designers are going for this season. Meadham Kirchhoff's pastel shades, Prada's crazy car prints, the glittery jewelry and crop tops at Miu Miu, and all the mixing and matching going on at Proenza Schouler. And I do love the motocross chic at Alexander Wang—I feel there is a lot to look forward to this spring."
Proenza Schouler technical crepe asymmetrical top, $1,145 and asymmetrical smocking skirt, $1,160
Proenza Schouler, NYC, 212.343.1360
11 of 12
Q: Who's style—past or present—do you most admire?
"Edie Sedgwick, Debbie Harry, Chloë Sevigny, Michelle Obama, and my friend Eugenie Niarchos each have their own great sense of style."
12 of 12
Q: What is always in your going-out clutch?
"Gum, my phone, this little embellished pocket mirror I just picked up at a market in Mexico City, and Crème de la Mer lip balm."
Orbit gum, $1.30
For information: orbitgum.com
La Mer The Lip Balm, $50
Makeup is melt proof, braids are back, and the season's sunniest highlights come in a bottle: Summer's best looks have never been easier—or looked better—than right now.

Music Review: Chroma Quartet
Date: April 10, 2013
by: June LeBell | Contributing Columnist
The Chroma Quartet has been together since 2008, but it's only this season the group really made a splash on the Sarasota music scene. The players — violinists Christopher Takeda and Jennifer Best Takeda, violist Michael McClelland and cellist Abraham Feder — are all members of the Sarasota Orchestra but, unlike several other chamber groups that are under the mantel of the orchestra, this ensemble is on its own. As a result, the members have had to fend for themselves in terms of fundraising, publicity and venues — and they've done really well.
This year, Chroma presented three concerts for the First Tuesdays at First Church series, appearing there to bigger and bigger audiences each time. And with good reason.
Chroma's programs are unique and fascinating. Its last concert, about a week ago, was called "Seriously Joking!" and went from Haydn's E-flat Quartet — known as "The Joke," to Beethoven's Quartet in F Minor, subtitled, "Serioso," with a charmingly quirky, awaard-winning "Half-Diminished Scherzo," by Piotr Szewczyk, in between.
Along with the clever programming, Chroma plays well. Haydn's "Joke" is a serious work filled with insider music pranks along with some obvious gags that can put the audience in musical stitches. It's also an extremely exposed piece that leaves intonation and blending vulnerable but, except for some rare balance nuisances, Chroma pulled it off with a pure, straight execution that had the audience chuckling along with the unexpected syncopations and multiple false endings.
The "Half-Diminished Scherzo" offers intricate rhythmic pulses, intriguing cascades of almost modal-sounding scales and a slow passage layered with shimmering intervals and tiers of colorful chords that were densely written but well-defined in the hands of Chroma. The late afternoon sun streaming through the church's stained glass windows added a visual illumination that made this work particularly inspiring. And the sanctuary's acoustics, unequaled in Sarasota, helped delineate the wondrous sound of this work, which has won awards for Szewczyk.
One of the inspired Chroma trademarks is that each of the group's members speaks to the audience as an introduction to each piece. Charming, witting and informed, they add their own personalities to the mix of music, making these concerts enlightening as well as entertaining.
In an introduction to the Beethoven, Feder quoted Joseph Kerman, author of "Beethoven Quartets," with the best description of the "Serioso" Quartet I've heard: "It's impulsive, defiant, pained, adversarial … The F Minor Quartet is not a 'pretty' piece, but it is terribly strong — and perhaps rather terrible … Everything unessential falls victim, leaving a residue of extreme concentration … "
Feder called the work "compressed music," and the performance that followed was as expressive and descriptive in the Chroma's playing as the words were in Feder's introduction.
Chroma is an ensemble that jokes with charm while playing with great seriousness. The group will be presenting its second season —the first Tuesdays of February, March and April — next year in the Music Fine Arts series at the First United Methodist Church. I suggest you get a subscription before it sells out.

Republican challenger Donna Flood defeated Democratic incumbent Connie Gallman Reed Tuesday night for Murray County clerk of Superior Court.
In unofficial results, Flood received 5,847 votes (53.05 percent) to 5,174 votes (46.95 percent) for Reed.
"I am so excited," Flood said late Tuesday night. "I want to thank everybody who helped me, voted for me, supported me and put their faith in me. I'm ready to get to work."
This was Flood's first race for elected office. She previously said she decided to run because "I care about our community and our residents. I feel that I would do a great job in that position and I feel that I can help our community out."
Flood works as an on-call nurse at Murray Medical Center and has worked at Shaw Industries for 24 years. She said she will have to turn in her notice at Shaw and talk to her employers at Murray Medical Center.
Asked why she thought she won, she said, "I think everybody was ready for a change."
Flood is a lifelong resident of Murray County and graduated from Murray County High School in 1988. She has been attending Dalton State College part time since 2008, working toward a bachelor's degree in management. She has an adult son and is a member of Victory Baptist Church in Dalton.
Reed could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. During the campaign, she said she had focused on making the clerk's office more "digital, accessible and convenient." She said her second term would focus on continuing to improve technology and "preparing for the future," in particular eFiling, an online service that allows attorneys to file paperwork electronically. She said she had a record of upgrading the office's computer system.
Reed is a Murray County native with 19 years in the clerk's office. She started as a court reporter and became the clerk of Magistrate Court in 1996. She was elected as Superior Court clerk in 2008 when then-clerk Loreine Matthews retired.

The Edmond Sun
The U.S. Small Business Administration is inviting experienced early stage investment fund managers to apply for licensing as Early Stage Innovation Funds as part of SBA's Small Business Investment Company capital investment program. The deadline for filing the Management Application Questionnaires for the Early Stage Innovation Fund program is at 5 p.m. EST on March 1.
Application details are in the call notice published in the Federal Register: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/12/18/2012-30431/small-business-investment-companies-early-stage-sbics.
Last year, in its first year, the program attracted 33 applications and gave "Green-Lights" to six qualified funds to continue through the licensing process after raising their private capital.
The agency has committed up to $1 billion in SBA guaranteed leverage over a five-year period to selected Early Stage Innovation Funds using its current program authorization. Licensed Early Stage Innovation Funds can receive up to a maximum of $50 million in SBA-guaranteed funding to match their privately raised capital. Early Stage Innovation Funds must invest at least 50 percent of their investment dollars in early stage small businesses.
"This initiative promotes innovation and creates jobs by encouraging private sector investment in early stage small businesses," said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. "Early stage small businesses face difficult challenges accessing capital in this financial climate, while venture capital funds are finding it difficult to raise money from institutional investors. By licensing and providing SBA financial backing to Early Stage Innovation Funds, we hope to expand entrepreneurs' access to capital and encourage innovation as part of President Obama's ongoing Start-Up America Initiative launched in 2011."
High-growth potential, early stage companies commonly experience a gap in the availability of funding between $1 million and $4 million levels. This gap is often referred to in the venture capital industry as the "Valley of Death." Since January 2006, less than 10 percent of all U.S. venture capital dollars went to seed funds investing at those levels, and 69 percent of those dollars went to just three states: California, Massachusetts and New York.
The Early Stage Innovation Fund initiative targets this gap by licensing and guaranteeing leverage to funds focused on early/seed stage investments. SBA's improved licensing times complement the Early Stage Innovation Fund program.
SBICs are privately owned and managed investment firms that are licensed and regulated by SBA. SBICs use a combination of funds raised from private sources and money raised through the use of SBA guarantees to make equity and mezzanine capital investments in small businesses. There are nearly 300 SBICs with more than $17 billion in capital under management.
A final rule, effective April 27, was published in the Federal Register at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-04-27/pdf/2012-10120.pdf. It sets forth regulations for Early Stage Innovation Funds with respect to licensing, capital requirements, distributions, and capital impairment among other things.
More information on the Early Stage Innovation Fund initiative and the regulations governing these SBICs may be found at www.sba.gov/inv/earlystage.

Black Friday is a time to find great bargains, but if you were looking for a five-finger discount at this year, the police were on the lookout.
A two-day initiative at the mall on Nov. 25--Black Friday--and Nov. 26 led to 16 arrests, mostly for theft, according to Gaithersburg Police spokesman Officer Dan Lane.
Over the two day period, a joint force of 16 or 17 plain-clothes officers from the , and Lakeforest's own security company were on the lookout for all types of illegal activity.
Fourteen of the arrests were for theft, Lane said. One was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance paraphernalia, and the last was charged with a parole violation.
Why target the mall? It's been a sore spot for law enforcement recently.
"Lakeforest Mall has led the way in the area for calls for service," Lane said.
But police think the weekend went well and are considering similar initiatives in the future.
"Right now we're briefing on it and sort of looking at what went right and what went wrong," Lane said.
In order to stay safe for the rest of the holiday season, the Gaithersburg Police Department recomments following these safety tips:
- Do not become distracted by your shopping. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
- Park in well-lit parking lots and park as close to the mall or store as possible.
- Lock your car doors and keep packages hidden in the trunk of or under the seats of your vehicle.
- Do not carry large amounts of cash with you and pay with checks or credit cards when possible.
- Ensure that you are not encumbered with a large number of packages. Try to make trips back to your vehicle to store packages in the trunk as you continue to shop.
- Carry your closed purse as close to your body as possible.
- Carry a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket.
