We agnostics are misunderstood and often shunned. Type "agnostic" into any search engine, and all kinds of insults and critiques will populate the window. We are called non-committing, afraid of confrontation, spineless, and so on. I encountered one forum that labeled us as lacking certain male reproductive organs. The point I am making here is that because we choose doubt over certainty, we are accused of not taking a stand and choosing the easy way out. I assure you: this is not true.
In fact, accepting the agnostic label means being rejected by both theists and atheists. Some theists lump atheists and agnostics into one category; while most fervent atheists slam us for not fully accepting science as absolute proof that God does not exist. If pleasing others and being accepted is important to someone, then being agnostic is not a good choice. It is a path littered with uncertainty and often-hateful resistance. A good comparison might compare agnostics to middle children. When there are three or more children in a family, and especially when there are only three children, the middle-born child feels overlooked and invalidated. Obviously, this may not always be true, but such feelings are real even if they are distorted perceptions. Being agnostic leaves me feeling overlooked and invalidated, sometimes, because I do not seem to fit-in with theists or atheists.
So, what is agnosticism and how did I "wander onto the agnostic path"? A more complete explanation of my personal journey will follow in later post. This post will provide some history of agnosticism, and how it has benefited mankind.
Reliable sources credit the English biologist, Thomas H. Huxley, with coining the term "agnostic" in the late 1860's. At first, Huxley defined an agnostic as anyone who flatly refused to clearly define seemingly unknowable concepts, such as the existence of a higher power. In later years, however, Huxley's definition of an agnostic evolved: "That which is unproved today may be proved, by the help of new discoveries, tomorrow." There are hints of wise men who were agnostic, despite the term not being yet coined, thousand of years ago: "To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge." – Confucius (551-479 BC). From another wise source, "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." – Socrates (469-399 BC). There is a strong tendency to view agnostics as cynical, uncaring and narcissistic. Perhaps, some agnostics are such jerks, but just like all Christians (or any person of a chosen faith or religion) are not pious, self-righteous jerks, not all agnostics are close-minded, narcissistic cynics. A more modern definition of an agnostic can be found in the book: Agnosticism: The Battle Against Shameless Ignorance, by James K. Wall (2011): "A person who seeks the truth because they do not assume they already have it." (p. 2).

Comments about Netgear® RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter: I bought this adapter at Radioshack. I needed something I could tether on an extension USB and prop up in the window of my hotel room since my laptop's built-in adapter couldn't connect due to weak signal inside the room where I sit with it. I have had pretty decent internet since the day I got this thing and that makes me very happy and impressed with the product. I would recommend this to everyone. And when I get in a nice fat healthy range of a router it simply smokes. They say up 300Mbps which is really quite insane. I love it.
Cons Best Uses Comments about Netgear® RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter: This is perfect. The wireless card in my laptop stopped working and this was a low cost high quality replacement. Works great and easy to install. I'm connected again!

A U.S. political candidate who runs for office under the Tea Party banner, but who subscribes to few of the party's positions.
Example Citations:
Moreover, a number of successful candidates are only nominally or opportunistically associated with the Tea Party; these TINOs (Tea in Name Only) include Ron Johnson, who knocked off Russ Feingold in Wisconsin but whose success was largely driven by his personal wealth, and Steve Chabot of Ohio, who rebranded himself early on as a Tea Partyer in order to reclaim a seat he first won in 1994.
So far, the Tea Party zealots haven't forced most of these TINOs and non-Tea Republicans to take the purity test, as they did with Mike Castle in Delaware, to disastrous effect.
—Richard Kim, "Tea Party Takeaways," The Nation, November 22, 2010
Said Chicago activist Gee: "A lot of us now are thinking we should be incremental in our approach. For example, I'm pro-life but I'm ready to back a candidate who isn't, provided they are a staunch fiscal conservative."
But Gee acknowledged some Tea Partiers might then dismiss him as a TINO — Tea In Name Only.

This paper proposes a new approach for modeling investor fear after rare disasters. The key element is to take into account that investors' information about fundamentals driving rare downward jumps in the dividend process is not perfect. Bayesian learning implies that beliefs about the likelihood of rare disasters drop to a much more pessimistic level once a disaster has occurred. Such a shift in beliefs can trigger massive declines in price-dividend ratios. Pessimistic beliefs persist for some time. Thus, belief dynamics are a source of apparent excess volatility relative to a rational expectations benchmark. Due to the low frequency of disasters, even an infinitely-lived investor will remain uncertain about the exact probability. Our analysis is conducted in continuous time and offers closed-form solutions for asset prices. We distinguish between rational and adaptive Bayesian learning. Rational learners account for the possibility of future changes in beliefs in determining their demand for risky assets, while adaptive learners take beliefs as given. Thus, risky assets tend to be lower-valued and price-dividend ratios vary less under adaptive versus rational learning for identical priors. Keywords: beliefs, Bayesian learning, controlled diffusions and jump processes, learning about jumps, adaptive learning, rational learning. JEL classification: D83, G11, C11, D91, E21, D81, C61…

Investigation into MoCo RideOn bus fires underway
After six RideOn buses caught fire in three years in Montgomery County, Md., a federal investigation has begun into the cause of the blazes.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is investigating the vehicle involved in three of the fires, which was manufactured by Navistar between 2007 to 2010.
The fires have been linked to problems with the buses' brakes, and while no one has been injured in any of the incidents, passengers want to know why the fires have happened.
"If people are taking it as their main form of transportation, it needs to be in better shape," said passenger Melissa Davis.
Montgomery County said there is already a plan in place to remove these models of vehicles off the streets over the next few months, not because of safety issues, but because the buses have had mechanical problems and are unreliable.
The bus operators' union doesn't agree with the plan and has filed a grievance to say the buses need to go now.
"You look at all those buses and you see ... if there is a fire, there's only one way out for those passengers," said Melvin Ransome, a RideOn bus operator.
It's currently unclear how long this investigation will take, and the government said there are around 800 of these buses in operation around the country.
A video of a bus on fire from December 2010 comes from ABC7 news partner WTOP.

Judge issues temporary injunction stopping Rep. Paul Scott recall
A judge in Ingham County has issued a temporary injunction which stops a recall effort against State Representative Paul Scott.
Republican Paul Scott was targeted for recall by the Michigan Education Association. Scott is a supporter of cutting K-12 education funding and legislation which targets teachers unions.
A petition drive collected enough signatures to place the recall on the November ballot. But Scott's attorneys convinced the judge that petition organizers may have started collecting signatures too soon. Last week, the Michigan Court of Appeals ordered the judge to reconsider a previous decision not to halt the November recall vote.

WALPOLE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A teacher was arrested Wednesday for allegedly walking around his driveway wearing only a ski cap and goggles.
A woman passing by the Norfolk County Agricultural High School teacher's home in Walpole called police after seeing the 44-year-old exposing himself, officials say.
The woman reported the incident to police and told them that she saw Marc Mertz in his driveway wearing a ski cap, goggles and a towel. However, when she drove by the home a second time, he'd lost the towel.
A couple of hours later, another witness saw Mertz completely nude, and said he thrust his hips onto his mailbox as she drove by.
Mertz was arrested on charges of open and gross lewdness and disturbing the peace at about 3 p.m. Wednesday.
This was not the first time he has been in trouble for exposing himself.
"He had apparently exposed himself to some boaters that were launching at a lake in a similar type incident in Natick," Dep. Chief John Carmichael said.
That happened in 2012.
As of Friday night, Mertz was released on $1,000 bail and ordered to stay away from the women who reported him. Norfolk County Agricultural High School has put the teacher on administrative leave.

The next time you play Rock Band don't invite Jon Bon Jovi. The 49- year-old singer's wife and kids recently convinced him to give the popular videogame a try. So he picked up the microphone and launched into a rendition of his classic "Wanted Dead or Alive," backed by family on virtual guitars and drums. He never made it through the song.
"I failed--it buzzed me down," Bon Jovi admits over lunch in Manhattan.
Fortunately for Bon Jovi, audiences in real arenas around the world are kinder. His eponymous band took home $125 million over the past 12 months by FORBES' estimates, more than any other music act besides U2--and more than relative whippersnappers Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Kanye West combined. In the past year the band has played 74 gigs in 15 nations, grossing $203 million in ticket sales and $20 million in merchandise; Bon Jovi ranks No. 8 on this year's Celebrity 100.The 10 Most Powerful Musicians
Surprised? Bon Jovi out-earns younger, glitzier acts thanks to a relatively affluent, aging fan base who turn out to hear the ballads of their youth and see a tightly run touring machine built on decades of experience.
"They're one of the highest-grossing bands every year," says veteran concert promoter Ron Delsener. "Jon is a workaholic, constantly touring, constantly making loads of money."
Whereas Lady Gaga schleps dozens of dancers from town to town and needs 28 trucks to cart her equipment, Bon Jovi typically plays with six people. A dozen trucks carry the gear, including a circular stage and 192 double-sided LED video screens connected with a specially designed motion control system, which allows them to come together to form a screen 13 feet high and 40 feet wide. At arenas like Montreal's 21,500-capacity Bell Center, the in-theround setup lets the band sell up to 5,500 more tickets than a traditional arena stage would. Wherever possible Bon Jovi plays consecutive nights at the same venue to cut back on setup and strike costs. By playing 12 shows in 19 days at London's O2 arena the band saved $300,000.
"It wasn't some conscious decision to be penny-pinching. I think it's just wise to be efficient," says Bon Jovi. "I know big bands where each of them has personal assistants on the road, each of them has a security guard. We don't have a security guard. Take your own friggin' bags!"
On the revenue side the band's U.S. fans sport an average household income of $78,989, slightly higher than the mean for the 350 music groups tracked by research firm NPD's Brand Link database. The economic difference between Bon Jovi's fans and those of, say, Justin Bieber ($71,389) or Metallica ($71,089) is more than enough to cover a pricey special like the Crush Package, which comes with a grab bag of perks and tchotchkes, including souvenir lanyards, autographed lithographs and two front-row seats that you can fold up and take home after the show. The average cost for this VIP treatment is $2,550 per couple; lowend alternatives set you back $450. Bon Jovi sells an average of 600 individual special package tickets per arena show.
Though regular tickets start at $20, these packages push Bon Jovi's average price to $95, about 50% higher than acts like the Dave Matthews Band ($59) and the Black Eyed Peas ($63). Bon Jovi shows have up to 20 different price points, including special packages; on a recent tour AC/DC offered only one.
"Jon is a businessman," says co-manager David Munns. "He knows what it takes to have a great-quality show, but he also knows how to be efficient with money."
Born in 1962 in Perth Amboy, N.J., a rough port town just south of New York City, Bon Jovi decided to be a rock star at age 13 after seeing the Doobie Brothers in Erie, Pa. His break came when he wrote and recorded the song "Runaway." He sent his tape out to record labels but didn't receive any responses. So in 1983 he took his cassette to Long Island's WAPP, a station so new it didn't yet have a receptionist. He banged on the window of the DJ's booth and convinced him to play the song. Within months it hit number 39 on the Billboard charts. "That same cassette that was sitting on every record guy's desk was suddenly getting me phone calls," he says.
Mercury Records signed Bon Jovi that year. He clipped his name from John Francis Bongiovi Jr. and recruited guitarist Richie Sambora, drummer Tico Torres, keyboardist David Bryan and bassist Alec John Such to form his band. They're still together (minus Such, who left the band in 1994), but it isn't an equal partnership: Bon Jovi keeps the bulk of the earnings, whereas bands like U2 split proceeds evenly.
Slippery When Wet, released in 1986, secured his career. Anthems "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive" helped sell 28 million copies of the album worldwide and still get standing ovations. In the two years that followed Bon Jovi played 480 shows around the world and released another album. In 1992 an increasingly ambitious Bon Jovi took the group's business into his own hands, forming Bon Jovi Management with longtime tour manager Paul Korzilius-- and dismissed manager Doc McGhee. "It just got to a point where I said, 'I can't pay you 20% of the gross, and I can't see this vision,'" Bon Jovi says. "My peers wanted to be on the cover of Circus. I wanted to be on the cover of Time."
Since then the band has produced hits like "It's My Life" in 2000 and the country-leaning "Who Says You Can't Go Home" in 2006. Last year the band released Greatest Hits: The Ultimate Collection, which reached number one on Billboard's rock charts. It hasn't been all smooth sailing: In April Bon Jovi confirmed Sambora would be "absent from upcoming shows" after the guitarist reportedly checked himself into a rehab center.

CES 2009 preview: GPS
CNET editors give you a preview of what they expect to see in the GPS and portable navigation category at CES 2009.
Portable navigation devices (PNDs) continued to draw a lot of interest in 2008 as more and more consumers became aware of the advantages of in-car GPS and they became more affordable. We think prices will continue to drop in the new year since the market is oversaturated with these navigation aids and the GPS manufacturers compete to get new customers. However, it's going to take more than an alluring price tag to keep the industry going.
With most PNDs offering the same core features and with the pressure and increasing popularity of GPS-enabled cell phones and location-based services, GPS manufacturers are having to step up their game by coming up with new technologies and features. That's why we expect to see more connected devices like the Dash Express and TeleNav Shotgun in 2009, bringing the most up-to-date maps and real-time data to drivers at all times. Finally, we believe voice commands, traffic capabilities, advanced lane guidance, and 3D building/landmark renderings will continue to makes their way to more and more GPS.

The technology integrates touch sensors into the LCD, making it unnecessary to have a separate touch-screen layer. The absence of the layer, usually about half-a-millimeter thick, not only makes the whole screen thinner, but improves the quality of displayed images, said DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase.
The current iPhone 4S is 9.3 millimeters thick, according to Apple's official website.
For Apple, the new technology would also simplify the supply chain and help cut costs as it would no longer need to buy touch panels and LCD panels from separate suppliers.

It was previously reported that the new iPhone will likely come with a screen larger than the current iPhone's 3.5-inch display. A thinner screen could help offset an increase in weight due to the larger size.
More on Gadgets:
Technological progress at LCD makers such as Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display is crucial for Apple, given that Samsung has been pushing its organic light-emitting displays as one of the unique features of its Galaxy phones. Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III, comes with a 4.8-inch OLED screen and is thinner than the current iPhone.
The vast majority of OLED screens used in mobile devices today are supplied by Samsung. OLED screens, which don't require backlighting, tend to be thinner than conventional LCD panels.
While Apple and Samsung together dominate the lucrative market for high-end smartphones, the companies are under constant pressure to meet high expectations for more-powerful, capable devices that are easier to carry.
The Apple Evolution
For more than three decades, Apple's much-hyped product launches have brought plenty of smash hits—and one or two disappointments. Take a look back.
A thinner screen in the next iPhone could make the whole device slimmer, or make extra room available for other components such as batteries. But in-cell touch screens are harder to manufacture than conventional LCD screens.
The people familiar with the situation said that LCD makers are finding the manufacturing process challenging and time-consuming as they scramble to achieve high yield rates.
Analysts have said that the new iPhone is expected sometime in the fall.
In May, people familiar with the matter said that the new iPhone will likely come with a screen larger than the current iPhone's 3.5-inch display. A thinner screen could help offset an increase in weight due to the larger size.
The LCD industry has been working on the in-cell touch technology for several years. For LCD panel makers like Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display, Apple's iPhone provides the environment where they can demonstrate their latest technological progress to show that LCD screens can continue to evolve and stay competitive against OLED displays. In the meantime, Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display have also been developing OLED displays.
At the same time, the adoption of in-cell technology is bad news for makers of conventional touch panels used in many smartphone screens now. Taiwan's Wintek Corp. 2384.TW -2.35% Wintek Corp.

Figments of Imagination
My paternal grandparents have lived in their large Spanish colonial house in Granada's Calle Atravesada (a Main Street of sorts) for as long as I can remember, and even decades before then.
Now sagging and crumbling with the customary wear and tear of the years and the ravages of difficult times—wars, death, weather—the atrium garden, framed by pillars and punctuated by a gurgling stone fountain, remains very much the same. Large, fat roses, always a bit too colorful with petals unfastened, like the heaving bosoms of ladies of the evening, flock together. Over-eager and too-intensely perfumed they boldly face the assault of the arrogant sun.
The heat in this town is oppressive and thick. Long hours were spent on Sunday visits to the house swinging back and forth on creaky white wicker rocking chairs, the sweat suctioning the backs of our legs to the seat as the speckled hen patterned black-and-white floor fumed ever hotter.
These Sundays inched forward painfully, but lunch at the big round table was a just reward. There were large platters of rib roast, the meat slipping off the bone, crab bisque with whole saucer-sized crabs you got to pick apart on your plate, potato gnocchi drowned in the house's secret pink sauce and buried in crumbly cheese that had been bought by the slab at the market that morning, refried beans that shimmered in lard and were brought to the table in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet that had long ago had its handle amputated.
And the preserved fruits. Depending on what was in season there was always a homemade, industrial-sized jar filled with amber fruits floating in slow motion in a thick, golden syrup. Mangos, papayas, a slew of tropical fruits I never learned the English names for, and my favorite: figs.
Years ago there was a fig tree in a corner of the garden. The figs hung low and plump, hiding in the shade of its own parasol leaves. The tree was unceremoniously cut down after the occasional evening bat became legion. Mamamá was always business-like with household pests. On a summer visit I brought a kitten home from the farm only to later learn he'd been dispatched to the market in a burlap sack. Mamamá told me Pascual had gone to Miami, and for a long time I envisioned him living in glorious exile.
Tree or no tree, higos en miel were made whenever they were in season. The "figs in honey" were sticky and sweet, their tiny seeds tickling my mouth; I've always thought that sunshine would taste just like one of those translucent orbs. The figs, those delicate purses lined with precious beads, were gently peeled and drowned in simple syrup and a fresh leaf from the tree, then simmered under Mamamá's strict and perspiring brow.
Last week while I leaned over the pot to check on my figs, my eyes and nose smarted as if I'd taken a gulp of chilled heavily carbonated Coca-Cola; my grandmother's kitchen, the roses, the bats, the disappeared cat, the damp manure and chicken droppings caked to the soles of my shoes; all rushed back.
HIGOS EN MIEL (Poached Figs)
Active Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes
Equipment: vegetable peeler, large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, parchment paper
Note: Figs will keep in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 1 week.
30 small fresh, ripe black figs (about 2 pounds)
2 cups sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
4 cups water
Carefully peel figs and trim and discard stems.
Stir together sugar, dark brown sugar, salt, and water in large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and boil syrup until sugars are dissolved and syrup thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add figs.
Cut a piece of parchment paper in the shape of pot. Cut a nickel-sized vent in the middle. Press parchment directly onto surface of fig-syrup mixture.
Simmer figs until translucent, gently stirring from time to time, about 1 hour.
Cool figs completely, at least 1 hour. Figs may be served at room temperature or chilled.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Twice last year, federal mine safety officials overseeing the Massey Energy Upper Big Branch mine launched special investigations that are frequently the starting point for criminal probes, according to U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration records.
MSHA records list "preliminary special investigations" for the Upper Big Branch Mine, but do not explain how those investigations were resolved or if they were eventually referred to federal prosecutors.
Top agency officials refused to explain anything about those investigations.
"We are not sharing special investigation data with anybody right now," said Kevin Stricklin, MSHA's coal administrator. "That's private."
Chuck Miller, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, also declined to comment.
Massey officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but company CEO Don Blankenship has argued this week that the Upper Big Branch Mine was well operated and perfectly safe.
"Any suspicion that the mine was improperly operated or illegally operated or anything like that would be unfounded," Blankenship said during one appearance on statewide radio.
MSHA records list the preliminary special investigations from April 3 to May 20, 2009, and from June 11 to July 15, 2009. Computer records do not describe the topics of the investigations, the findings, or any actions taken as a result.

Should You Use a Virtual Credit Card Number?
How one-use credit card numbers can help reduce the risk of fraud.
When Edgar Dworsky, a Massachusetts-based consumer advocate and founder of ConsumerWorld.org, shops through an unfamiliar website, he uses what's known as a virtual credit card number to avoid sharing his actual credit card number.
"With so many instances of online fraud and credit card numbers being stolen or hacked, either by [the merchant] or someone who might hack into their system," Dworsky says he doesn't want to take any chances that could compromise his credit card. He also uses a virtual credit card to avoid automatic renewals of services he doesn't want to continue.
[See 10 Ways to Improve Your Finances in 2011.]
To generate a 16-digit virtual credit card number, which is linked to his regular credit card, Dworsky estimates that he spends less than 60 seconds to log into his credit card account, click a few boxes, and set the expiration date. Then he types those 16 digits, the expiration date, and the security code into the merchant's website to complete his transaction.
Virtual credit card numbers aren't new, but even with recent security breaches like the one involving Sony PlayStation earlier this year, surprisingly few consumers use them. In fact, American Express discontinued its virtual credit card service in 2004, reportedly due to lack of interest, and Discover discontinued its service in early September. However, several other issuers, including Bank of America and Citi, still offer them.
As Robert Siciliano, a McAfee Consultant and identity theft expert, explains, "A virtual payment that takes place online or over the phone, without physical inspection of the card, is considered a 'card not present,' or CNP transaction. In a CNP transaction, it is not possible to examine a card's security features or signature."
[See the Biggest Money Mistakes Couple Make.]
For CNP transactions, the virtual account number works the same as the number on a physical credit card, but within the time and monetary limits set by the user (Dworsky says he always sets his to expire in two months.) "You can have a number of different merchants with a number of temporary numbers," says Siciliano. "The retailer has no idea that this is a different number."
If your regular credit card offers rewards, you can earn those same miles or other rewards using a virtual account number tied to that account. And while Dworsky says he's never had an issue using a virtual credit card, it could potentially create confusion if, for example, you ordered movie tickets online, and then were asked to swipe a credit card at a theater kiosk to pick them up.
So, does this option create an extra layer of security or simply create extra hassles for consumers?
Experts disagree on this point. "It's probably more secure than your existing card number because you have the ability to set limits on it," says Siciliano. "Those limits are where the layer of security lies. For example, if you just give your regular account number, then anybody who gets ahold of that number going forward can use it to make unauthorized charges."
[See 6 Ways ID Thieves Steal You Credit Card Number.]
But according to John Ulzheimer, president of Consumer Education at SmartCredit.com, virtual credit cards are actually more helpful to card issuers than consumers because they reduce the amount of fraud the card issuer has to absorb. Under federal law, your maximum liability per card is limited to $50, assuming you report a lost or stolen card. That's why Ulzheimer says he's never used virtual credit card numbers and doesn't think they're necessary.
In some cases, he adds, consumers who've had their card stolen or skimmed may not pay anything for fraudulent charges, assuming they notify the issuer within a reasonable amount of time. "It's so competitive out there that issuers are very willing to absorb that $50 amount because they don't want to lose a low-risk card-holder to a competitor," Ulzheimer explains. "It's very expensive to acquire a profitable customer."

A five-step assignment to convey your interest in your team, and spur a sense of belonging.
A five-step assignment to convey your interest in your team, and spur a sense of belonging.
I recently spoke with a CEO about his workforce. He felt his team wasn't very motivated and asked me what would prove more effective: rewards or threats? Before I could answer, I asked some questions: What did his workers like? How did they spend their spare time? Did they all eat lunch together or separately? He couldn't answer any of these questions, which told me exactly what was wrong.
This executive needs to know who works for him. Curiosity is one of the most appealing human characteristics. When you're curious about someone, you imply that he is interesting and valuable. More fundamentally, you prove to him that he exists and that you know it. Everyone at work wants to feel that he counts, that he is valued, and that others are interested in him. After all, why should an employee be interested in the business if the business isn't interested in him? Being curious about someone is the easiest and most basic way of saying that you notice and care. This all sounds simple but many executives are too busy to ever do it.
So I gave this CEO some homework:
The results of this assignment were nothing short of extraordinary. First of all, the CEO came back to me with more enthusiasm and respect for his team than he'd ever shown before. He had far more creative ideas about how to motivate them (and no more grim talk about sticks and carrots). He understood his company better: what excited them, drove them, and connected with them.
But he also observed that, after he'd taken this initiative, it sounded as though people were talking to each other more than ever before. His curiosity had stimulated them. And as people connected to one another, they felt they belonged to something.
Most entrepreneurs start their companies because they're curious about the world. Often that has led them to see things others missed. But they get so caught up in the nitty gritty of daily operations that their peripheral vision grows progressively narrower until they can't see the people in front of them. Until something, or someone, makes them change.
What would happen if you did this homework?

It's true, he's for it. In Gov. Malloy's 2011 Budget Address last week, he alluded to decriminalization as a means of saving money — which was a smart approach. There are many good reasons to decriminalize, but the one that will be most universally accepted is the one that affects the state's wallet.
"Despite the reforms of the past decade, we are still spending money we don't need to spend imprisoning people who, if given access to the treatment they need, would pose no threat to any of us," he said. "There are simply too many people who've been arrested or jailed for minor, non-violent or drug offenses who, if given access to alternative forms of punishment would take advantage of that additional chance to choose a different and better path."
Right on, brother.
That's how you raise a potentially controversial subject without ruffling too many conservative feathers. With tact like this, we'll have medical marijuana in no time, too.
I can't smoke because I get paranoid every time I try. What am I doing wrong?
We've touched on the whole paranoia thing in previous columns, but let's dig a little deeper. Last time we talked about maybe trying a different strain. You don't drink a Natty Light and then declare that beer doesn't treat you well. Mix it up and try some other varieties.
But I'd say the main issue here, as with any mind drug, is providing the appropriate set and setting. If you were holed up with Tim Leary doing LSD in the '60s, that's what he would've told you, and it still holds true today.
The "set" refers to your mood and expectations. If you think you're going to be paranoid, then you're going to get paranoid. If you are uneasy or unsure or unhappy, then that's going to carry over into your stoned state. The drug alters your consciousness, but you're still the one steering the ship. Don't expect the drug to work miracles … you've got to do some of the work too.
"It's all in the mind," as George Harrison said in "Yellow Submarine."
Train yourself to take control of your own brain. Will yourself to have a good time. You have that power. Be confident.
The "setting" is the environment, both physical and social. If it's not a safe, comfortable place, and your company sucks, then yeah, you might get paranoid. If you're in a happy, warm place surrounded by good friends, then you're going to have a better experience.
What is proper joint-passing etiquette in Connecticut?
There's no real answer to this.
Predominately, I find that most Connecticut smokers take a single hit and then pass it along to the next person in the circle. But this is just what I've experienced personally, with the people I've smoked with.
Other times, it can be OK to take a couple of hits before handing it over — puff, puff, pass.
Everyone's got their own rituals, and when smoking with a new crowd it's always best to observe what they do and follow suit. And it never hurts to ask if you feel you're not sure what to do. Different parts of the world, and parts of the country, and even parts of your own neighborhood can all have their own customs and flavor.

Area Names:
Hunt Area 36A-3*
Hunt areas are numbered sequentially by year and species. The unfortunate result is that a 2010 Deer Hunt Area 1-1 may not have the same boundary as a 2009 Deer Hunt Area 1-1 or even 2010 Elk Hunt Area 1-1. To be clear, always check the hunt area boundary to see if they match. For querying historical statistics you can use the huntplanner, drawing odds search and harvest statistics search tools on this site which do a rough match of historical hunt areas by units, species, weapons and other factors to allow comparison.
That portion of Unit 36A north and west of the East Fork of the Salmon River downstream from, but excluding, the Germania Creek drainage, and that portion of Unit 36 on the south and east sides of the main Salmon River downstream from, but excluding, the Fourth of July Creek drainage above Stanley.
