With the economy still in slow recovery, it's understandable that many physicians applying for jobs throughout the US will have gaps in their employment history. Nevertheless, a less than fluid history can make it more difficult to find a job in more competitive job markets. In addition to gaps in employment, I come across many resumes where the job seeker has an interrupted residency or an obvious leave of absence from medical school. These kinds of interrupted histories can also prevent you from getting your foot in the door at a job for which you're more than qualified. Here are some tips to close the gaps.
Gaps in Employment History
If you did any locum tenens, research, or volunteer work between full time clinical positions or academic appointments, by all means, include them in the chronology! If you must do so to be accurate, you can change your heading from "Employment History" or "Professional Experience" to something along the lines of "Clinical Experience" or even just "Experience."
If you have a particularly spotty history, you may want to consider a "functional resume" which places an emphasis on your skills and other qualities, with the chronology of your employment downplayed near the end of your document. However, you should avoid using a functional resume unless the chronology of your employment presents a serious issue.
Also, if your gaps span a few months rather than a year or more, it is completely acceptable to list only the year you started and ended each position, rather than the month and year.
Hiatus in Residency Training/Medical School
If you have a gap in your medical training or schooling, leave off the start date and list only the date of completion (or leave off the dates completely and simply list the degree or residency program and the institution you attended). While the prospective employer may ask you to expand on this at some point during the interviewing process, at that point you will have an opportunity to explain the reason why it took you longer than usual to receive your degree or complete training. However, if the gap is obvious during the initial screening process, you might never get that opportunity.
What Shouldn't You Do?
Never try to explain your gaps in employment or training in the body of your resume. (For example, "2007-2008: Leave of absence to care for sick family member.") This can do more harm than good, because it draws attention to the gap. It's far better to explain a gap in your history verbally than within your resume.

About Me Grandparent, Parent of Two or More Children
easy to move in the room compared to the "prettier" chloe. Will not be using the rollers as they detract from the look of the original cradles and brings it lower in line with their bed level. The rocking mechanism is its best feature- ***** rating.You can pack it up again for future use.

Love this Cradle!!
By Smores
from CT
Exactly what I was looking for. We're expecting in May so we haven't had a chance to use the cradle yet but I think it will be exactly what I was hoping it would be. Love the color!! It only took me 25 minutes to assemble by myself!! [...]. A little bigger than I had expected but I actually like the size. I have not attached the wheels (I don't plan to either) and because of this it doesn't sit completely flat on the floor. I will figure something out to make it more sturdy once the time comes to move it to our bedroom.

My daughter loves the cradle. It is beautiful, roomy, portable. I wish the key to keep it stable, would stay in while moving it.
I love the cradle!
I wish I had this cradle when my children were born. I like that you can make it stationary or rock. I like that it has wheels that you can move it to other rooms in the house. Love it!Kathy

Is it me or is he going less country and more deliverance? Just dont care as long as he makes the other teams squeal like a pig.
If his rapist mustache enables him to throw the ball more consistently and have a better repoire with his receivers, then I'm all for it.
Maybe he should just go ahead and do a Foutsy beard instead of the porn stache......aw hell, if it superstitiously makes him not throw picks, it's got my vote.
I can't believe BLEW hasn't posted his ....... "Phillip Rivers future look" pic in here yet. That boy is getting slack.....
Crappy facial hair that's less full than a 15-year-old could grow worked for Joe Flacco last year... Just sayin'
He goes on an insane winning streak with the stache then the stache stays. Otherwise it just looks reeeallly stupid
Speaking of a Foutsy beard, I was in this hole in the wall mexican place in San Marcos and the mexican cooks were saying I looked liked Fouts cause I got a salt and pepper full beard going, think they thought I couldnt understand spanish.

Wickliffe Police: Man arrested in robberies of Subway, TNT Tanning Salon, Tye Dye Sky
A Highland Heights man was arraigned Tuesday in Willoughby Municipal Court for allegedly committing three robberies in Wickliffe and Willoughby over the last few weeks.
Robert Cornelison, 29, of 5875 Ridgebury Blvd., was arrested Monday by Wickliffe Police, said Wickliffe Police Lt. Pat Hengst.
Officers located Cornelison on McKinney Avenue in Willoughby and asked him to come back to the Wickliffe station for an interview. There, he allegedly made statements about his involvement in the crimes, Hengst said.
Cornelison was charged with three counts of robbery, all felonies of the third degree, the lieutenant said.
While court records list his last known address as in Highland Heights, Hengst said Cornelison was basically homeless over the last few weeks.
"That probably contributed to these crimes and also a drug addiction," Hengst said.
At Cornelison's arraignment, Judge Larry Allen set two bonds of $100,000 cash or surety, which were not posted.
The first of the alleged crimes occurred on Nov. 3 at Tye Dye Sky, a clothing store located at 36495 Vine Street in Willoughby.
Police said a man handed a note to an employee that stated he wanted all the money from the cash register and that he had a gun.
On Nov. 12, Wickliffe Police responded to the Subway restaurant at 29690 Euclid Ave. for a reported robbery. Continued...
The suspect, who appeared to have a gun in his waistband, had come into the store and demanded money. The employee complied and the suspect then wiped down parts of the counter and the door which he may have touched, police said.
The next day, Nov. 13, the TNT Tanning Salon at 37812 Vine Street was robbed. A man approached the counter asking for money. The employee saw a bulge consistent with a firearm in the waistband of the suspect.
No one was hurt in any of the robberies.
Willoughby Police Lt. Tom Trem said a joint effort between the Wickliffe and Willoughby forces led to the arrest.
"We worked very well with our neighboring departments and shared all our information," Trem said.
Media coverage also generated numerous tips from the public, which helped police focus in on Cornelison as a suspect, Trem added.
Cornelison is next set to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Nov. 29.

I think I've found a bug which prevents Python/Pygame to work normally under Open2X:
I tried to run some Python stuff today on my F200, so I have downloaded Python and Pygame here in the archives.
There are two provided test applications, the first works fine, but the second (which should play sounds) outputs some error messages:
/mnt/sd/testpygame02.py:54: RuntimeWarning: use mixer: /mnt/sd/python/extras/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: __umodsi3

This test application works fine under Open2X compatibility mode, and before you ask, yes there is a file.wav and file.ogg in the directory
I tried to run some other stuff but this "undefined symbol" thing makes everything crash, it's not always related to libSDL_mixer though, sometimes it has to do with fonts and libfreetype too...
Bye and thanks for your help !

Entries tagged with: Party Lights
Conceived and curated by power pop legend Paul Collins (co-founder of THE NERVES, THE BREAKAWAYS and THE BEAT), the fest will bring together some of the finest young guitar-driven power pop, garage rock and punk-pop bands from the eastern seaboard and Canada. Of the lineup, Collins says, "Power Pop-A-Licious 2 is a unifying rally cry for the thriving rock-n-roll subculture, and is a means for power pop fans of all ages to discover a wealth of talented new acts in one power-packed weekend."Power Pop-A-Licious 2 was originally scheduled to take place at Asbury Lanes back in November but got postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. It's now happening at Cake Shop here in NYC on February 1 and 2 and, in addition to a set from Paul Collins & the Beat, includes Montreal's Kid Sentiment, Portsmouth, ON's The Connection and Kurt Baker, Toronto's Pow Wows (not to be confused with Brooklyn's pow wow!), Brooklyn's Party Lights and more. Full schedule is below and advance tickets are on sale now.Power-pop-A-Licious 2 is ground zero for a burgeoning DIY power pop scene fueled by the devotion of its fans, the immediacy of the internet and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Each day will feature bands from the East Coast that are left right and center of the new generation of the guitar driven melodic rock scene. Collins adds: "Today's power pop bands blend punk, garage, retro-power pop, and psychedelic into one swirling sound. Personally I am not a purest about power pop, I am more interested in promoting bands that have cool songs and use electric guitars to get their point across."

POMEROY — The nearly $1.3 million dollar project to replace some fire hydrants and water lines in the Village of Pomeroy is nearing completion.
Fifty fire hydrants are being replaced throughout the village as part of the project, along with approximately 13,000 feet of a 12-inch water main from the water treatment plant to Nye Avenue.
Of the $1.3 million, $250,000 is funded through a grant, with the remainder financed through a loan available through the EPA. The loan is partially paid through the $5 fee that was placed on utility bills in the village last year.
Work on the project is being completed by Fields Excavating of Kitts Hill, Ohio. The original completion date on the project was set for April 15, but Village Administrator Paul Hellman estimated that the work may be completed by the end of March.
The new hydrants are being placed along Main Street, State Street, Locust Street, Mulberry Avenue, Second Street, Spring Avenue and Condor Street.
Late last week, Hellman said that approximately 12 of the 50 hydrants needed to be installed.
Hellman added that once all the hydrants are put in place, a training will be held for employees and possibly the fire department on maintaining the hydrants and the operation of them. He said that some of the hydrants will need to be turned to face the opposite direction, which can be done as part of the training.
Hellman also hopes to maintain a schedule to flush the hydrants which will allow them to continue to function properly over the course of time.
To date, the project has not had to use the contingency money, which may allow for the purchase of additional hydrants at a later time, Hellman said. If the village wishes to purchase additional hydrants, Dreier & Maller Inc. has guaranteed to village contractor pricing for the next two years.

So these people, In their greatest time of need have sold their soul to Satan himself. They have to do his bidding. But now a rebellion has started and the people are going back on their oath, to be the slave of Satan. They must journey through many places to get a golden Diamond. That is the only way they can break this Bond between them. And if they use that Diamond they could have their soul back, and they don't have to be a slave. But some are trying to stop them from acquiring the Precious gem. The demons. And the slaves who are faithful to the oath and their master. But the real question is....Who side are you on?

Heartless Bastards On World Cafe
By editor
The Cincinnati band Heartless Bastards is led by Erika Wennerstrom, whose husky vocals have fueled the group's progression into a powerhouse rock force on its fourth studio album, Arrow. The new record marinates in all that is classic rock — catchy hooks, big riffs, a powerful voice — but also sets itself apart with Wennerstrom's distinct voice.
That said, Arrow's strength doesn't just come from Wennerstrom. After many lineup changes in the last decade, the band's new-found cohesiveness has played a part. Arrow was written fresh off a month-long tour to best capture the group's live sound; its songs will no doubt continue to morph as Heartless Bastards' members make their way across the country on a spring tour.

Comments On Dec 15, 2012:I purchased this helmet after viewing it at the distribution center in Payson, Utah. This helmet is a high quality item. It fits very comfortably and is very light. I have been using it for about 5 months now and the materials have held up well. If you can get this helmet on sale, it is a bargain.

As my subscribers know because of an inadvertent early post of a rough draft last week, after much consideration your humble proprietor has decided to close down the Listening Post. It's been fun and I'm happy that some of you liked it and found it worthwhile, but it's time to move on.
Writing the blog has become too much like a job, an unpaid job at that. To do this blog right means spending way too many hours in research, handling technical problems, developing relationships and writing several posts a week, not to mention watching lots of local TV news. I'll do that anyway, but I would rather be free to watch what I want, when I want.
One of the reasons I started the blog was my belief that the Austin American-Statesman was not doing a very good job covering Austin TV news. Its media reporter/blogger has his hands more than full covering radio, retail and various and sundry other business and city desk stories. I know times are tough in newspapering, but I hope his editors will give the guy time to do some original reporting and in-depth analysis on the local TV news scene. I haven't even been trying to compete with the Statesman, but I have consistently beaten them to stories they should have had. That's no great credit to me, but it should be a concern to the Statesman. I fear it is not.
With that, I thank all of you who have read this blog regularly over the past 17 months and wish you news junkies happy viewing. I'm sure I'll continue to have some thoughts on the local TV news scene on Twitter, so please follow me @billrr.
Ranking the Newscasts and On-Air Professionals
Before I go, a number of you have asked me from time to time to offer my opinion on Austin's best newscast, best anchors, reporters, etc. I have refrained from doing so because I felt it would taint various stories I might write. I did not want to appear to be coming down on the side of those I had identified as my favorites or criticizing those I had left off my lists. Now, with no future stories to write and with 2013 upon us, it seems like the appropriate time to do a report card.
These choices are just my personal opinion, based on what I have seen on the air. I have no axes to grind or personal vendettas or anything like that to influence these choices. Almost everyone in Austin TV has treated me wonderfully and I am truly grateful.
For all of you who did not make my lists, I am in no way saying you are bad or that I do not like your work. I simply chose my favorites and in many cases it was a very close call between making the list and just missing.
Judging TV newscasts and TV news talent is a very subjective topic, and I'm sure most of you would choose differently if you put together similar lists. No rights or wrongs here, just differences of opinion. I'll leave the site up for awhile so that those of you who feel strongly can comment on this post and make your case for why anchor "X" or weatherperson "Y" should have made my list. Please, no obscenities, especially about me.
I based my opinion purely on journalism and on-air performance over the long haul–those I think have the best chances for success in TV news for the foreseeable future.
Best Overall News Coverage
1. KVUE (Tie)
1. KXAN (Tie)
Comment–OK, I punted on the big one. Sorry, couldn't choose between them.
Best on-set team
1. Tyler Sieswerda, Terri Gruca, Mark Murray, Mike Barnes, KVUE Prime Time
2. Robert Hadlock, Leslie Rhode, Jim Spencer, Roger Wallace, KXAN Prime Time
3. Bryan Mays, Yvonne Nava, Albert Ramon, KVUE Mornings
4. Brian Sanders, Sally Hernandez, Mark Monstrola, Amanda Dugan, KXAN Mornings
5. Greg Kerr, Katherine Kisiel, Keri Bellacosa, Zach Shields, FOX 7 Mornings
Comment–These are the teams that both deliver professional newscasts while also seeming to genuinely enjoy each other's company. They are comfortable with each other and as a result, we are comfortable watching them.
Best Male Anchor
1. Tyler Sieswerda, KVUE Prime Time
2. Robert Hadlock, KXAN Prime Time
3. David Scott, KXAN Weekends
4. Mike Warren, FOX 7 Prime Time
5. Robert Maxwell, KXAN/KNVA Prime Time
Comment—While for me, Sieswerda is the best, KXAN seems to have cornered the market on male anchors. I could have added that station's Brian Sanders, but I elected to put him on my top up-and-comers list (below) as he begins new duties on the KXAN weekday morning team.
Best Female Anchor
1. Katherine Stolp, KEYE Weekends
2. Sally Hernandez, KXAN Mornings
3. Yvonne Nava, KVUE Mornings
4. Terri Gruca, KVUE Prime Time
5. Leslie Rhode, KXAN Prime Time
6. Shannon Wolfson, KXAN/KNVA Prime Time
Comment–I have ranked three "secondary" anchors ahead of the prime time stars. For me, Stolp, Hernandez and Nava are essentially tied for first. Because of families and ties to Austin, I'm assuming Hernandez, Nava, Gruca and Rhode will be around for awhile, which is good. Wolfson has already announced she will be leaving in March in search of greener pastures and I fully expect Stolp to land a better job in a bigger market at some point, if she chooses. Still, this is her hometown, so we may keep her, too.
Best Meteorologist
1. Jim Spencer, KXAN Prime Time
2. Mark Murray, KVUE Prime Time
3. Scott Fisher, FOX 7 Prime Time
4. Burton Fitzsimmons, YNN Mornings
5. Zach Shields, FOX 7 Mornings
Comment–Spencer and Murray are tied for first in my opinion, and obviously Troy Kimmel would have made it a three-way tie had he remained at KEYE. This is probably Austin's strongest category and we will be blessed indeed if these gentlemen continue in their roles.
Best Sportscaster
1. Dave Cody, FOX 7
2. Roger Wallace, KXAN
3. Bob Ballou, KEYE
4. Mike Barnes, KVUE
5. Ricky Doyle, YNN
Comment–Again, tough call. Veterans all who seem to love Austin sports. We are the winners.
Best Male Reporter—Non-Regular Anchor
1. Chris Willis, KXAN
2. Chris Sadeghi, KXAN
3. Mark Wiggins, KVUE
4. Rudi Koski, FOX 7
5. Jim Swift, KXAN
6. Shelton Green, KVUE
Comment–For day-to-day, on-the-street coverage of any story, Sadeghi is the best in this market. You can argue that Willis does not belong here since he was a long time anchor and still fills occasionally on the desk, but as KXAN's chief investigative reporter, he has assumed that role as his main job. He has become the face of KXAN's branding efforts with frequent on-air promotions. You can also argue that Swift is more a story teller than a regular news reporter, but that's quibbling. I love his work and it's my blog.
Best Female Reporter—Non-Anchor
1. Heather Kovar, KVUE
2. Jessica Holloway, KVUE
3. Noelle Newton, FOX 7
4. Erin Cargile, KXAN
5. Jessica Vess, KVUE
6. Karen Kiley, KEYE
Comment–These women all do a good job. Kovar's experience shows. Holloway has brought a real skill to sensitive interviews.
Up and Comers to Keep an Eye On
1. Brian Sanders, KXAN anchor
2. Mark Monstrola, KXAN meteorologist
3. Angie Beavin, KXAN reporter
4. Amanda Dugan, KXAN traffic
5. Shawn Clynch, KVUE sportscaster
6. Adam Bennett, KEYE reporter
Comment–I guess there's not too much doubt about which station I think has a bright future.

"I had to hit my barber with a "Miss" when she messed my edge line in the front up"
"I saw this sorotiy girl running to class and she fell and busted her ass. My friends and I laughed and yelled to her, "Miss!!"

For those looking for an addon that alerts you when someone says your name, or a set word or such Nick Alert http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/nickalert can do this and more...
This add on is now being updated for 5.0! So please stay tuned and subscribe for updates!
Formally created by Vux of Dragonblight-[US] & CKlausi of Biny of Anetheron-[EU], the project has now been taken on by Bubblesz of Echo Isles-[US]. Say My Name is a very simple addon that will alert you by playing the Auction House "bell" sound and relaying the message to the middle of your screen when:
- Someone says your name in *any* chat channel.
- Someone does an emote that contains your name or the word "you".
- Someone drops a Fish Feast or a Great Feast.
Besides the point of playing the auction house bell, this add on can also do:
- All messages are printed to ChatFrame7 for a "log" in case you want to view them later, for example if you were afk.
- Supports nicknames (or any other custom trigger)
- Ignore feature.
The commands are being updated to be more 'ease' of use.
As of this very moment, you can use /saymyname to learn more.
File Name | Release Type | Game Version | Downloads | Date |
SayMyName 0.41 | Beta | 4.0.1 | 6,491 | 11/08/2010 |
SayMyName 0.4 | Beta | 3.1.0 | 2,362 | 05/21/2009 |

For those looking for an addon that alerts you when someone says your name, or a set word or such Nick Alert http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/nickalert can do this and more...
Could you please update this addon so it works proper and not suddently crash wow or just cause freeze screen?
Does this work cross faction? And does it notify you if your name is said in trade when you're not in a city?
I really wish this worked.
i hate missing chats from the guild when my name is mentioned or people are trying to get me, and they don't whisper.
I can be in a raid or group and have filters on, and don't care to see all the constant guild chatter, but would like to know if my name is mentioned.
This addon won't work because there is no configuration page where you can exclude channels, so if you have any addons that use custom channels, you know they are going to pass your toon name, so what happens is that this addon beeps all the time for an invalid reason.
There needs to be a config page to exclude channels, or to only work on specific channels.
Please address this problem if you have the time.
If you cannot, then I may mofify it myself when I have the time.
Thank you

The Anatomy of Trading (Fantasy Hockey) | Tweet |
Written by Ryan Ma | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tuesday, 07 February 2012 10:19 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Anatomy of Trading - A couple of years ago I read a life-changing book penned by Steven R. Covey titled "7 Habits of Highly Effective People." One habit that he focuses on is to always think win-win. With the default fantasy trade deadline (March 8th on Yahoo!), creeping up fairly soon, I thought it would be a great idea to see if I can apply some of his thoughts into the realm of fantasy hockey trading. Covey believes that there are six paradigms of interaction. - Win/Lose - Lose/Win - Lose/Lose - Win - No Deal - Win/Win According to Covey, Win/Lose is a paradigm which takes a strict, authoritarian approach. "My way or the highway", the hard line "take it or leave it approach", or the "in order for me to win, everyone needs to lose approach" which is probably what 90 percent of the trade propositions you receive, ultimately are. They are the clear-cut "low ball" offers where one party is clearly trying to better themselves, while pawning their crap onto to you. Now, there are two implications of this for fantasy hockey. First, a Win/Lose deal could be accepted (highly unlikely), where you might come out on top in the short run, but in the long run you lost the war, because you've p---ed off all your league-mates by robbing the guy which results in no one respecting you anymore. Or second, you send out so many ridiculous offers, that once again no one respects you or takes you seriously. You get blackballed and are rarely included in future trade discussions. So in the end, you might have made out on top of one deal, but if that's the only deal that you complete during the season, you still end up finishing a loser. " One thing that you need to keep in mind is that any moves that you don't make will result in a favourable outcome of the leading team. " The second paradigm that Covey brings up is Lose/Win. The biggest problem with this paradigm is that probably 90 percent of us poolies belong to this grouping, even though we may not know it. At the end of the day, there is only ONE winner, which means there are a dozen (give or take) losers in every pool. Obviously it's different if you're playing in a money league with multiple money places, but realistically who settles to play to get their original entry fee back rather than trying to win it all? One thing that you need to keep in mind is that any moves that you don't make will result in a favourable outcome of the leading team. If things remain status quo, they win, so it's your job to knock them off their pedestal and take some of that power out of their hands. Covey mentions a third paradigm which is Lose/Lose. Now, there are very few situations where this occurs in fantasy hockey, which makes this scenario a rare occurrence. This situation may occur when a fed up manager, annoyed by losing all year long, drops all of his players onto the ww and disrupts the competitiveness of the entire league: everyone loses. A second one might be the "collusive" trades that so many Dobberites protest against on the forums where a "bottom feeding" team moves their best assets to a contending team once again disrupting the competitiveness of the league. Everyone's p***ed and no one is happy at the end of the day. The positive is that most leagues have a backup plan to resolve this scenario, but one thing that you do need to keep in mind is that not all "bad" trades are collusion. First, you need to seek to understand, and then judge. Fourth we have Win, it's pretty similar to Win/Lose, but at the end of the day all you care about is winning and not so much about the others around you. The perfect example of this, from a fantasy hockey perspective, is where a person only cares about winning the "trade" but not necessarily improving their overall team. I've read plenty of "did I win this trade?" threads in the forum and I'm thinking in my head, sure you might have won the trade, but how does this really improve your team? Another paradigm is when we negotiate back and forth, day after day but can't come up with a trade proposal that pleases both parties. It results in No Deal. Obviously a deal just can't be reached and both parties leave happily. The positive is that no hard feelings were created and both parties are generally happy about the outcome. The downside, unfortunately, is that the edge still remains to the team leading since it creates a status quo situation where they still maintain the upper hand. The final and probably most effective paradigm is of course Win/Win, where an arrangement is made where both parties are completely happy and benefit from the outcome. One of the key factors Covey discusses, in order to build a win/win situation for both parties, is a need to lose the "scarcity mentality", where we naturally believe that there's only so much of the pie out there, and in order for me to win, I need to own the biggest chunk of it. Covey then coins a new contrasting term the "abundance mentality". If every poolie looked at their "abundance" of stats and was willing to part with a small chunk of that in order to improve in another area, wouldn't trades between two fantasy teams be much easier to create and mutually beneficial? Both teams end up happy and both teams possess a better chance of attacking the top of the table than a Win/Lose or Lose/Win situation, doesn't it? Step-by-Step Guideline to building a win-win trade The first step in developing a win-win trade is to look at where your strengths and weaknesses lie. On Yahoo! based leagues it's a very simple system, you just need to log onto your league and it should bring you to your front page where your standings load up. If you click on the top right corner (full standings), it'll bring you to a complete break down of your team stats produced so far this campaign. The second step (1 in picture above), is to take a look at your team and identify the weaknesses of your team. In mine (Maaaasquito Bites), the PIM, W, GAA and SV. PIM, W and SV aren't too bad since I'm in the middle of the pack, so my biggest concern is to improve the GAA department. Looking at what my targets are in order to gain the most points, I see that my GAA competition is actually tightly bunched (2 in picture above), between me (three), and 7.5 points (Frozen Pool and Nation of Domination). I only need to improve from 2.68 to 2.58, so the biggest target for me is to acquire a number one low-GAA goalie. Third step (3 in the above picture), is to identify who the best potential trading partners actually are. If you compare the overall standings with the area where I want to improve, you can essentially knock out Dry Island Holdout and Messier4Life. They're not going help me get closer towards in the standings, at least not for a reasonable price anyway. So you have to go further down the list. GMG could be a strong trade partner, but with goalie stats of 14, 13 and 14, the chances of him wanting to shake up his line up are pretty slim. Just in case, I double checked to see which goalies he possesses before I nix the possibility. He owns Pekka Rinne, Nicklas Backstrom, Michal Neuvirth and Chris Mason, and I own Martin Brodeur, Kari Lehtonen and Mike Smith. The only goalie that fits what I need most would be Rinne, but I just don't see a trade of Lehtonen and Smith for Rinne benefitting either of us. So down the line we go to Dean's List. Here's an interesting one. 12 in GAA and 13 in SV but just eight for wins. That's something that I can definitely work with. He owns Henrik Lundqvist, Tuuka Rask and Curtis Sanford. Ah BINGO! His Lundy is the main reason why his GAA and SV are up there, now a trade of Lehtonen and Smith for Lundy would make perfect sense. He gets a few more wins with two number one goalies, without having to sacrifice too much of the GAA and SV. Win-Win! Now I look at the rest of his team for weaknesses. His G, +/- and PIMs are atrocious, so that's a good starting point. Remember the big fish that I'm trying to land is Lundy, so anything else is pretty much gravy. I sent out an initial offer of:
Knowing that it was never going to be accepted, but enough to at least pique his interest. He countered with:
I wasn't going to give up Pavelski and one of the premiere defenseman in the league for Kessel, so I came up with two counter proposals.
With the deals being fairly similar, I knew that we were pretty close in getting something done. He didn't like either, but suggested:
I debated a bit about this one, but wasn't sure I was getting enough with the Tanguay for Kunitz part of the deal. So I countered another two options in:
In the end, he accepted the latter and we're both happy campers. Here is the stats breakdown of the trade. (Note: HPG chart courtesy of Hockey Pool Geek)
It's a pretty even deal across-the-board, he gains in four categories, I gain in four categories and we draw even on the final one, which leads to a perfect win-win situation for the both of us. It took roughly 30 mins of negotiating (so no, negotiating doesn't need to be a long strenuous process). Going back to Covey's wise words, the most effective paradigm to utilize during interactions is the Win/Win paradigm. Not only do you get something done in the here-and-now, but you can also pave a few roads for the future as well. If you're consistently searching for the "big fish" you might just be left empty handed. I'll leave you with a famous quote by Albert Schweitzer, "In the hopes of reaching the moon, men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet." Now go grab your flower basket and get trade hunting! Questions or comments? As always I'll discuss them in the section below. Should you be so inclined, follow me on Twitter. Write comment

Rapha-FOCUS x Oakley
There has been a growing buzz over the Rapha-FOCUS Oakley sunglasses that the team have been wearing this season. What are they? Where can we get them? Well, now we have those answers.
To aid the team in their quest for success on the global cyclocross circuits as well as in the United States, Oakley put together a one-two punch of custom Radarlocks for racing and some special edition Frogskins – for lounging – to keep them protected and looking stylish wherever they go.
And the fine people at Oakley have gone so far as to donate a few extra pairs of both to raise funds for the team this year. Starting this Tuesday November 27th at 6am PST they will be up for silent auction in the same manner that we did with last year's Jawbones. The silent auction will last for a couple weeks, the first being dedicated to the Radar Locks at two per day Tuesday to Friday. The second week will be all Frogskins and the third week will sell off sets of both styles. All winning auctions will include autographed rider cards featuring the US based portion of the team (Gabby, Chris, Jeremy, Julie and Zach). Click here for starting times and a thorough schedule of events. Happy bidding.

This is a group for men interested in independent film about homosexuality, the gay experience, and the like. We will watch a film - - a documentary, a narrative film, a foreign film -- with a connection to gay male experience, and then discuss it. The focus will be on films with an artistic and thoughtful spirit, not on films that are merely sassy or bound by the urban gay male "ghetto." Also, although Hollywood has made some fine gay films (e.g., Brokeback Mountain), the assumption of the grou …

DH just bought a brand new grill. Neighborhood stray cat decides to spray it, evidently thinks it's his. Problem? It won't come off. You can see the streaks where it dripped. Anyone got any good ideas of how to get it off? We tried windex and steel wool. It's still there. Wanda | |||
I always use white vinegar. Rinse the vinegar off after you remove the cat urine. | ||||
There is a cleaner made especially for stainless steel. You can find it at the big box stores, or maybe even Wally world. Don't know if it'll get those streaks, though. The ammonia in the urine may have etched the surface. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
Thanks! I'll try the vinegar and if that doesn't work, I'll check out HD for stainless steel cleaner. I wonder if that would work on the planters on my front porch too. That darn cat likes that too. Wanda | ||||
Not heard of the vinegar...I will try it too. I've used the Weiman wipes for stainless...it seems it's the only product that I like...I've tried all the other tips and ideas.. I have this love/hate relationship with stainless... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||
Have you tried Barkeepers Friend? I use it to clean my stainless steel cookware and it does a great job. Well I use it on a lot of things and it is really a good cleaner. ~Joyce~ | ||||
Use of vinegar is suitable for cleaning stainless steel. As we know that it is in liquid form so it may penetrate more deeply into the region which results in nice cleaning. street cleaning | ||||

Comité de América Latina y el Caribe para la Defensa de los Derechos de la Mujer |
(The Latin American and Caribbean Committee for the Defense of Women's Rights)CLADEM is a regional network of individuals and institutions in Latin America committed to protecting and advancing women's rights. Founded in 1987, CLADEM has offices in 17 countries and has initiated several successful campaigns to protect women's health and human rights at the national and regional levels. Recently, CLADEM's Argentina chapter collaborated with another IWHC partner, INSGENAR [link], to investigate cases where women seeking emergency reproductive health care were abused by hospital staff and physicians at several public hospitals in Rosario, Argentina. CLADEM and INSGENAR presented their findings at the United Nations Commission on Torture in Geneva, and are currently working to institute a formal mechanism for monitoring reproductive health care in Argentina. IWHC has supported CLADEM since 2001. For more information, visit CLADEM's website. |

The record for most T-shirts worn at one time is 257.
The record is held by Sanath Bandara, a marathon runner from Sri Lanka who was a victim of the 2008 Weliveriya bombing. In 2008, a suicide bomber killed 15 people at the start of a marathon race in Sri Lanka. Since then Sanath has been attempting to break Guinness World records.
He has attempted and held a few records for treadmill running, but as of now (at least according to the Guinness website), the only record he has is for wearing the most t-shirts at a time. He attempted the feat on December 22, 2011. It took him 1 hour, 7 minutes and 3 seconds to get to 257.
For some reason, this record is attempted all the time. Sanath's record came just over a month after a similar attempt, and the prior record holder was a Korean boyband member who broke it a few months earlier too.
What do you think? Is it a ridiculous record or a legitimate one? We don't look forward to this post being outdated in a few weeks when the next person attempts to break it or something. Also, check out the awesome t-shirts we've selected for you guys to be available on BustedTees.com. We've bought a few of them here at the office 'cause we think they're hilarious. Check them out and tell us what your favorite is. :)

Cities of the Future, Built By Drones, Bacteria, & 3D Printers
I have a new article up on Fast Company about programatic matter, synthetic biology, robotic swarming, and the future possibilities of architecture.
As complex ecosystems, cities are confronting tremendous pressures to seek optimum efficiency with minimal impact in a resource-constrained world. While architecture, urban planning, and sustainability attempt to address the massive resource requirements and outflow of cities, there are signs that a deeper current of biology is working its way into the urban framework.

Running With Machine Herds
Continuing its annual tradition of walking the lines between genuine social goodyness and highfalutin' techno utopianism, the TED2013 conference kicked off this week in Los Angeles. Gathering together some of the brighter minds and more well-heeled benefactors, attendees come to tease apart the phase space of possibility and to take a closer look at how we consciously examine and intentionally evolve our world. Among the many threads and themes, one in particular tugs deeply at both aspirational humanism and existential terror.
Quick Riffs on Autonomous Vehicles
This tweet got me riffing on potential outcomes & exploits available when autonomous vehicles become common:
New meaning to "blue screen of death" ;) MT @seth_fletcher: Carlos Ghosn: Autonomous cars "without any doubt" part of future… by 2020.

I also "like" (or "find interesting", in the Chinese proverbial sense) the idea of rogue agents seizing control over vehicular fleets to direct and coordinate their movements towards some sort of goal, e.g. assembling to bust a road barricade or defend a bank heist. Interesting times, indeed…

Virtual Hitmen Hired To Curb Son's Gaming Addiction
From China, this article tickles my sic-fi bone in just the right way. It's one of those news bits that seems enfolded out of the future just to remind us how odd and accelerated we are in the present. From Kotaku:
Unhappy with his son not finding a job, Mr. Feng decided to hire players in his son's favorite online games to hunt down Xiao Feng… Feng's idea was that his son would get bored of playing games if he was killed every time he logged on, and that he would start putting more effort into getting a job.
The article itself is a bit bland but the concept is ultracool and ripe for embellishment. Son hires mercenary clan to defend himself against father's hit men. Or, son hires hackers to destroy dad's credit so dad turns to Lawnmower Men to wipe son's digital identity. How about a new niche of virtual assassin's paid to neutralize annoying troll's, spammers, or distant relatives with bothersome religious/political agenda's? Social media assassins that target Twitter & Facebook accounts for permanent deletion… How safe is the virtual self when we don't have the hard-wired instinct to protect it in the way we do our own bodies?
Valve signals hardware is the future of distribution
Gabe Newell, the co-founder and managing director at PC gaming powerhouse Valve Software, recently spoke with Kotaku about the shifting landscape of games distribution and his company's move into the living room.
Ten years ago Valve established Steam as a primary distribution channel for its titles and add-on content. Just this month they've released Big Picture, establishing a foothold in the living room by essentially porting the Valve experience to the TV. With a new controller and interface, user's can play games, stream content, and access Steam through Big Picture's front-end.
Speaking to Kotaku, Newell suggested that Valve and other competitors will release custom branded hardware solutions for the living room within the next year. User's would be able to buy an official Valve gaming console (likely to be a lightweight PC or Linux device) and plug it into their TV. While this may seem surprising to many who have suggested that console gaming is in decline, Newell let slip the compelling hook for game's developers.
"Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment… If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general purpose PC. For people who want a more turnkey solution, that's what some people are really gonna want for their living room."
As content has dematerialized and gotten loose and slippery, content houses have been trying to figure out how to put the genie back in the bottle and retain control over their IP. Hardware offers such a controlled environment and, thanks in large part to Apple, hardware manufacturing is easier than it's ever been. It wouldn't be too surprising if, a few years down the road, Valve decides to lock down distribution completely by shunting all its users onto a low-priced piece of branded hardware. Plug it into your TV, launch Steam, and pull content direct from the Valve server farm.
Now imagine if they release Half Life 3 and you can only buy it through their hardware…

Recent Notes on Reality Capture & 3D Printing
It may be symptomatic of our times but the delta between weak signal & fast-moving trend seems to be getting shorter & shorter. Compelling innovations are bootstrapped rapidly into full-fledged solutions, enabling a highly-efficient lab-to-home ecosystem. While it's been percolating for years, the emergence of consumer 3D printing really only landed on the hype cycle in the past 12 months or so but in this time there have been considerable advances.
Election 2012: Stories and Statistics
When the 2012 election returns came in there was no more tragic and revealing figure than Karl Rove. His live reaction in the Fox newsroom after the network called Ohio for the Democratic incumbent was that of a man at odds with reality. He simply couldn't grasp that his narrative had slipped free from the world, the map hewn in twain by the sudden jutting of an unexpected iceberg.
so you want to migrate to the cloud…
Many mature software companies are now in the awkward position of trying to migrate their heavyweight legacy solutions from the desktop into the uncertain domain of the cloud. Fortune 500's are slow to adapt, preferring to leverage their cash-cow back catalog for as long as possible while gently testing the waters with lightweight solutions more aligned with marketing than their core execution layer. The results often paint the erstwhile-giants as out-of-touch and late to the game, delivering simple offerings that fail to successfully integrate with the evolving needs of their user base. The solution is not an easy one, requiring much greater commitment and risk than most CFO's can stomach. But the cloud is not going away and the alternative to full adoption is to be resigned to a narrowing niche.
transcription errors in reality copy – ios6
Apple recently booted Google Maps from its iOS 6 release, replacing the world standard for mapping & location with its own offering (having cobbled together the acquisition spoils from C3 Technologies). For people actually trying to find their way around, the results have been less than stellar. Complaints abound.
inside scoop – interviewing the santa cruz city council candidates
Last night I was on a panel of 3 with Peggy Dolgenos and Cliff Hodges interviewing our local candidates for Santa Cruz City Council. I represented the Santa Cruz Geeks, one of the event sponsors along with SC NEXT, Cruzio Internet, and Civinomics. The legendary Kuumbwa Jazz center hosted the event (I was on the same stage once held by Booby Hutchinson, McCoy Tyner, Pharaoh Sanders, Joe Zawinul, and many other greats). Our local darlings, the Penny Ice Creamery, brought free waffle cones. Billed as "Inside Scoop", we crowdsourced questions from the community, then reviewed, consolidated, & massaged them into ~100 min of public examination. The event was fun, and warm, organic, and surprisingly challenging to the candidates and the panel.
my home project: kinect hacking
Over the weekend I bought a Kinect and wired it to my Mac. I'm following the O'Reilly/Make book, Making Things See, by Greg Borenstein (who kindly tells me I'm an amateur machine vision researcher). With the book I've set up Processing, a JAVA-lite coding environment, and the open source Kinect libraries, SimpleOpenNI & NITE. I've spent a good chunk of the weekend reading a hundred pages into the book and working through the project tutorials and I've generated some interesting interactions and imagery. There's also a ton of tutorial vids on You Tube, natch, to help cut through the weeds and whatnot.

"insight, perspicacity, lyrical beauty and complete hogwash
I just have to share this wonderful blurb from Bruce Sterling about my article, Extended Senses & Invisible Fences:
*Y'know, it's crazy-making to read stuff like this. It's so full of insight, perspicacity, lyrical beauty and complete hogwash… and there's no possible way to know which parts are which.
*It's like a tsunami is coming and someone hands you a witch's broom.
When I first read this I was struck by how he managed to catch a fairly subtle piece of my character that indeed deeply informs my writing: I aim for no truth, merely sharing my own experience, equal parts analytic and trickster, swept up with some good ol' mysticism.
Praise from Caesar is praise indeed! Thanks, Bruce!
extended senses & invisible fences
"The intelligence of the city is on the streets." – Manu Fernandez
Amidst the swirling maelstrom of technological progress so often heralded as the imminent salvation to all our ills, it can be necessary to remind ourselves that humanity sits at the center, not technology.
inviting machines into our bodies – big think
I have a new article over at Big Think looking at trends in wireless implant technology and the vulnerability profile presented by our emerging integration with connected biodevices. This article builds on my previous post here, Ubicomp Getting Under Your Skin? So Are Hackers.
From the intro:
In what amounts to a fairly shocking reminder of how quickly our technologies are advancing and how deeply our lives are being woven with networked computation, security researchers have recently reported successes in remotely compromising and controlling two different medical implant devices. Such implanted devices are becoming more and more common, implemented with wireless communications both across components and outward to monitors that allow doctors to non-invasively make changes to their settings. Until only recently, this technology was mostly confined to advanced labs but it is now moving steadily into our bodies. As these procedures become more common, researchers are now considering the security implications of wiring human anatomy directly into the web of ubiquitous computation and networked communications.
New Aesthetic Filmmaking – Clouds: DSLR + Kinect + RGBD Toolkit
The work of James George caught my attention when he began publishing still images generated by mixing inputs from a DSLR camera paired with a Kinect scanner. He & partner, Jonathan Mind, recently produced this thoroughly compelling future-now video from the same process, using their open framework software, RGBD Toolkit, to manage the mapping and in-scene navigation. The camera is fixed but since the Kinect produces a 3D scene you can navigate around the captured image. Where forms in the camera field cast shadows, i.e. where the Kinect cannot scan past e.g. an occluding arm & hand, you see stretching and warping of the 3D mesh and image map. The effect is uncannily similar to the scenes in the film version of Minority Report when Tom Cruise's character watches holovids of his son & wife, their forms trailing along the light path of the holoprojector.George & Mind frame this video as an exploration of emerging techniques and technologies in filmmaking. Also, they talk about coding and geekery and other cool stuff.

The State of Augmented Reality – ARE2012
Last week I attended and spoke at the Wednesday session of ARE2012, the SF Bay Area's largest conference on augmented reality. This is the 3rd year of the conference and both the maturity of the industry and the cooling of the hype were evident. Attendance was lower than previous years, content was more focused on advertising & marketing examples, and there was a notable absence of platinum sponsors and top-tier enterprise attendees. On the surface this could be read as a general decline of the field but this is not the case.
A few things are happening to ferry augmented reality across the Trough of Disillusionment. This year there were more headset manufacturer's than ever before. The need for AR to go hand's-free is becoming more & more evident [my biases]. I saw a handful of new manufacturers I'd never even heard of before. And there they were with fully-functional hardware rendering annotations on transparent surfaces. In order for AR to move from content to utility it has to drive hardware development into HUD's. Google see's this as does any other enterprise player in the mobile game. Many of the forward-looking discussions effectively assume a head's-up experience.
At the algorithmic level, things are moving quickly especially in the domain of edge detection, face tracking, and registration. I saw some really exceptional mapping that overlaid masks on people's faces in realtime responding to movement & expressions without flickers or registration errors (except for the occasional super-cool New Aesthetic glitch when the map blurred off the user's face if they moved too quickly). Machine vision is advancing at a strong pace and there was an ongoing thread throughout the conference about the challenges the broader industry faces in moving facial recognition technology into the mobile stack. It's already there and works but the ethical and civil liberty issues are forcing a welcomes pause in consideration.
Qualcomm was the sole platinum sponsor, promoting its Vuforia AR platform. Sony had a booth showing some AR games (Pong!?) on their Playstation Vita device. But pretty much everyone in the enterprise tier stayed home, back in the labs and product meetings and design reviews, slowly & steadily moving AR into their respective feature stacks. Nokia is doing this, Google of course, Apple has been opening up the camera stream and patenting eyewear, HP is looking at using AR with Autonomy, even Pioneer has a Cyber Navi AR GPS solution. The same players that were underwriting AR conferences in exchange for marketing opportunities and the chance to poach young developers are now integrating the core AR stack into their platforms. This is both good & bad for the industry: good because it will drive standardization and put a lot of money behind innovation; bad because it will rock the world of the Metaio's & Layar's who have been tilling this field for years. Typically, as a young technology starts to gain traction and establish value, there follows a great period of consolidation as the big fish eat the little ones. Some succeed, many fall, and a new culture of creators emerges to develop for the winners.
So here we are. Augmented reality is flowing in three streams: Content and marketing grab eyeballs and easy money while conditioning the market to expect these experiences; developers extend the software stack towards real-time pixel-perfect recognition & mapping, enabling the solutions to actually, um, solve problems; and hardware manufacturers labor to bring AR into the many transparent surfaces through which we interact with the world, freeing our hands and augmenting our views with ubiquitous networked data. Across these domains sit content shops, emerging start-ups, the leading innovators ala Layar & Metaio, and the big fish enterprise companies that have had a piece of the tech game for years & years and aren't going to miss out if AR goes supernova. The market is a bit shaky and very much uncertain for the SMB's but it's certainly maturing with the technology.
My sense is that everybody gets that AR is here to stay and has deep intrinsic value to the future of mobility and interface. How this will impact the many passionate folks curating & cultivating the field from the bottom-up remains to be seen.

Pelicans' new practice center taking shape
METAIRIE, La. (AP) Monty Williams wore a white hard hat with a New Orleans Pelicans logo on it as he toured the construction site that will become his team's practice center next season, and discussed the benefits of not just its amenities, but also its location alongside the practice fields of the NFL's Saints.
At other NBA training sites, Williams noted, "Nobody's going to walk outside and see coach (Sean) Payton or (receiver Marques) Colston walking across the parking lot, (tight end Jimmy) Graham or (quarterback Drew) Brees."
"I think that breeds a good atmosphere when you can walk outside and see the best of the best at what they do, collaborate on ideas. They're all rooting for each other," Williams said. "That's what makes this place special."
