(Albany [NY] Times-Union) Presiding Bishop—Episcopal Church must change
"We need to discover ways to engage in the outside community," Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said, in urging the 125 delegates attending the Province II Synod of the Episcopal Church to recognize that while many believe the church is an unchanging rock, it too slowly evolves.
"'We are beginning to discover a way forward into a new chapter in the church's history," Jefferts Schori said. "If we are going to save the life of the church, we are going to have to lose it."

For a second consecutive year, Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel and Mercedes-Benz have consolidated their relationship with the presentation of two sedans. Terrenauto, Mercedes-Benz's official car dealer in Ibiza, has given Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel two Mercedes models, CLS 3450 CDI and 4Matic C Coupé 250, so they can offer guests an outstanding VIP service.
The event took place at the Hotel with the participation of Toni Ferrer, Jordi Peña and Ana Ferrer, from Terrenauto, and Abel Matutes Prats, General Manager, Carmen Matutes, Deputy Director, and Daniel Gómez Korpf, Director of Product and Operations for Vacation Hotels in Europe, from Fiesta Hotel Group.
This symbolic ceremony consolidates Mercedes Benz's brand image amongst its highly select customers who are always looking for non-traditional options, just what Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel guests prefer. Both sedans, featuring an "Ushuaïa by Mercedes" decal on their doors, will be used to transport VIPs and celebrities throughout the season.
Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel has once again partnered with other premium brands that share common interests with their guests. In only two years, Ushuaïa has hosted Ibiza's hottest daytime parties, welcoming celebrities such as the Hilton sisters, Zidanne, Puff Daddy, James Blunt, and international star DJ's such as David Guetta, Luciano and Swedish House Mafia.

Press Release
Sticking it to the Taxpayer: Nation's Oldest Taxpayer Group Condemns House-passed Health Care Bill
For Immediate Release November 8, 2009
Pete Sepp, (703) 683-5700
(Alexandria, VA) -- Today the 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) decried passage of H.R. 3962, the trillion-dollar so-called "Affordable Health Care for America Act." The House voted 220-215 to pass this 2,000 page monstrosity of a bill that dramatically raises taxes and expands the size and scope of a federal government that is already far too large.
"No health care system in the world could have cured this Congress of the 'do-something disease' with which it has been infected," said NTU Director of Government Affairs Andrew Moylan. "The American people spent months trying to cure their Representatives of this affliction by expressing their frustration and dislike for this health care bill, from town hall meetings to marches on Washington. But instead of taking their medicine and returning to the drawing board, supporters of this bill took advantage of what are legitimate problems with health care to pass an enormous package of tax hikes, subsidies, and regulations."
NTU also sharply criticized many "Blue Dog" and other moderate Democrats who voted for the bill. "Nobody can still cling to pretenses of fiscal conservatism after voting for this hideous bill," Moylan said. "As many as 69 Democrats expressed some sort of opposition to the legislation, but in the end only 39 had the guts to stand by taxpayers and vote no."
The legislation now moves to the Senate, where NTU will continue to pressure moderates of both parties to vote against these harmful policies.
NTU is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, smaller government, and economic freedom at all levels. Note: More information about this bill is available at www.ntu.org.

The question
What are your career aspirations?
Where would you like to be one/three/five years from now?
When you look back in ten years time what will you see?
What they are looking for
This is not a friendly question to warm you up. The interviewer here is looking for signs that you have a particular career path in mind (or not).
If you do not have a clear plan or intent for your career they may take this as a sign that you are not good at planning and have little vision. It may also indicate that you could lack drive and hence work less than those who are more driven.
If you do have plans they will assess them for how realistic they are, including whether you have set your sights too high (indicating you may be disappointed) or too low (showing you lack direction or ambition).
How to answer
It is important that you answer this question carefully to show that you are organized and have intelligent career plans but without appearing to be putting the organization's needs as subservient to your own.
In five years time I aim to be a lead designer. I know that's ambitious and to get there I will need to deliver outstanding results.

Nature's Herbs - White Willow Bark - 100 Capsules
Nature's Herbs White Willow Bark grows wild in moist, fertile soil in Europe and North America. A daily serving of Nature's Herbs White Willow Bark delivers 1,125 mg of high-quality white willow bark. The bark of the white willow tree has been used therapeutically since the times of the ancient Egyptians and Hippocrates. In the 1800s, European scientists isolated what they believed to be the active component of white willow bark, a compound called salicin.
WillowParts Used and Where GrownThe willow tree grows primarily in central and southern Europe, although it is also found in North America. The bark is used to make herbal extracts.
Historical or Traditional UseWillow bark was used traditionally by herbalists for fever, headache, pain, and rheumatic complaints. In the late 19th century, the constituent salicylic acid was isolated from willow bark and went on to become the model for the development of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).
About Nature's HerbsTheir RootsTwinlab was created in 1968 when founder David Blechman leveraged his 20 years of expertise in the pharmaceutical industry to develop and market a liquid protein supplement. Working out of his family's garage, he and his wife named their developing business Twinlab, after the couple's two sets of twins. Sales soared, and in the 1980s, Twinlab branched out to a broader range of vitamins, minerals, herbs and teas.
TodaySince 1968, the Twinlab brand has been the trusted leader for innovative, high performance health and wellness products. In addition to the extensive line of vitamins, minerals and sports nutrition formulas of its namesake brand, Twinlab Corporation also manufactures and sells other category leaders, including the Metabolife line of diet and energy products; Alvita teas, established in 1922 as one of the country's first herbal tea lines, and Nature's Herbs, a complete line of herbals and phytonutrients.
Twinlab's plant in American Fork, UT, is a NSF GMP registered facility from which we manufacture, package and distribute over 1,000 premium quality products. The NSF program verifies that Twinlab's manufacturing plant has met NSF International's stringent independent certification process guidelines, which include facilities and manufacturing process inspections and reviews to assure compliance with NSF's rigorous banned substances standards. Facilities certified by NSF conform to the highest consensus standards, and ongoing monitoring, including two annual facility inspections, to ensure continued compliance with program requirements.
Twinlab also operates a Research & Development facility in Grand Rapids, MI, and has its corporate headquarters in New York, NY.
Twinlab products are currently available in over 55 countries worldwide.

Our Mission
The Mayor's Office-Division of Youth Services strives to ensure that youth in the City of Birmingham are provided with quality, efficient, and effective programs and services from infancy through adulthood.
Our History
In 1992, a Youth Advisory Commission was formed to address teen pregnancy, education and illiteracy, youth gang violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and unemployment problems affecting Birmingham's youth. From this Commission, the City of Birmingham's Division of Youth Services (DYS) was created.
Ten years later, the SECURE Youth Task Force was commissioned to develop strategies that would help to increase opportunities for self-sufficiency, employability, and the overall quality of life for youth in the City of Birmingham. SECURE is an acronym for Support, Encourage, Counsel, Understand, Respect, and Enrich. To better serve youth in the City of Birmingham, DYS developed a comprehensive approach, based on the strategies outlined by the Task Force.
In 2004, Birmingham was one of twenty-five cities selected to tour Boston, Massachusetts' After School for All Initiative in an effort to strengthen Birmingham's after-school and out-of-school system. Shortly after, in 2005, the National League of Cities (NLC) selected DYS to participate in its National Congress of Cities in Charlotte, North Carolina. NLC serves as a resource to and an advocate for more than 18,000 cities, villages, and towns. DYS was chosen to showcase its innovative approach to hundreds of city leaders in attendance. Through its Division of Youth Services, the City of Birmingham continues to incorporate recommendations provided by the Youth Advisory Commission, SECURE Youth Task Force, and the Boston model into program implementation and development.
Our Approach
Birmingham is one of the few municipalities in the country with a division or department that specifically addresses issues directly impacting its youth population. To help accomplish our mission, DYS developed an innovative, four-pronged approach:
Our Future
With a dedicated staff, a strong commitment from the city's leadership, solid collaborative partnerships, and diverse community relationships, we will continue to work together to provide youth with opportunities that allow them to flourish. And, because we are a determined team, our primary goal will always be to put Youth First in the City of Birmingham.

IBM Announces Power 6 Blades and Software
The J2SS Blade Center triggers a new virtualization drive. The Linux-friendly system helps operators save electricity.
Parallel to the announcement of the JS22 Express Blade Center with Power 6 CPUs that support Linux, IBM has announced two software units designed to help customers save hardware and electricity. Advanced Power Virtualization is part of IBM's Power 6 technology and designed to support up to ten virtual servers on a single processor core. The latest version of Active Energy Manager, an power monitoring tool, allows customers to cap power consumption. This and other projects are part of IBM's Big Green campaign (see the separate article here).
Inside a Power 6 blade server. The pictures shows an IBM engineer fitting a memory module.
Unix customers additionally have the ability to migrate, move or replace components without downtime: Live Partition Mobility is a Power 6 platform feature which is only implemented for Unix. It gives administrators the ability to physically move complete operating system partitions in production environments.The feature is incluced with the Enterprise Edition of Advanced Power Virtualization, and not available for other CPUs or operating systems.
Blade servers with Power 6 CPUs will be available in H cases and HT cases as of November 2007, says the vendor. A JS22 express configuration with 4GB RAM and 73GB disk capacity in an H case will cost US$ 10,363, although resellers may offer the system at different prices. Advanced Power Virtualization (Standard Edition) will be available as of mid-November and is included with POWER-based blade servers. Active Energy Manager will be available as of mid-December. Energy management and power consumption capping cost around US$ 100 per system. More information on Energy Manager will be available here as of November 13, says IBM.

BEEKMANTOWN — When the top team in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference's Div. I takes on the top team in Div. II a good game is expected.
Tuesday, Beekmantown and AuSable Valley did not disappoint.
High School Sports Magazine
Shannon Ryan poured in 38 points as the Eagles captured a back-and-forth 52-50 victory in the battle of the unbeatens.
"It was a nice battle," Beekmantown coach Greg Waters said. "They're a jump shooting, slashing team and we're a low post team.
"It was a battled of styles and a good game right to the end."
The Eagles carried a 27-23 lead into halftime, but the Patriots were able to battle back in the third quarter to pull within one-point heading into the fourth.
AuSable Valley eventually battled back to take a lead late in the fourth quarter.
"They took the lead on (Logan) Snow's two foul shots (48-47) with two minutes to go," Waters said. "Ryan made two low-post baskets to give us a lead and we sealed it with free throws."
Beekmantown connected on five-of-seven free throws down the stretch, while Ryan scored 12 of her points in the final quarter.
Emily Anderson added nine points for the Eagles, including a couple big free throws in the fourth.
Snow tallied a season-high 20 points to lead the charge for the Patriots. Taylor Saltus and Meghan Strong each chipped in with seven points.
"It was a back-and-forth game," Waters said. "It could have went either way."

Columbus, OH (WOIO) - Four players, multiple incidents, one big loss for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Urban Meyer, suspending his top running back, Carlos Hyde, from all football activities on Monday, after Hyde was accused of punching a woman in the face at the Sugar Bar 2 in downtown Columbus early Saturday morning.
As of Monday, Hyde had not been arrested, just named a person of interest. Hyde ran for 970 yards last season.
The Buckeyes' top cornerback, Bradley Roby, also made the police blotter over the weekend, arrested in Bloomington, Indiana early Sunday morning after an altercation at a bar. According to a police report, Roby refused to leave the bar following a disturbance, then struck a bar bouncer.
Roby is now facing preliminary charges for battery resulting in bodily injuries.
Meyer also took disciplinary action Monday against two freshmen who were involved in legal issues in the past week: tight end Marcus Baugh, from Riverside, Calif., and defensive lineman Tim Gardner, from Indianapolis.
"I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and are expected to honor," Meyer said. "There are also expectations with regard to behavior. I expect our players to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately and they will be held accountable for their actions."
Baugh has been removed from all team activities and will sit out the first game of the season, Aug. 31 vs. Buffalo, for his arrest last weekend for underage possession of alcohol and possessing a fake identification. His actions will also result in the loss of his summer aid.
Gardner is being sent home and will not be a part of the 2013 team after he was charged Saturday night by Columbus police with obstruction of official business.

Looking at "The Destruction of Dublin" by Frank McDonald, I came across the following mentions:
Page 183
"Take the case of Bord Iascaigh Mhara, the state's sea fisher- ies development board. In the late 1970s, its chairman and chief executive, Brendan O'Kelly, thought it would be a good idea for BIM to move its headquarters from Ballsbridge to a fishing port. Various sites were examined in Killybegs, Dungarvan and Galway but, in the end, the board decided to 'decentralise' to Dun Laoghaire -less than five miles from its offices in Hume House. There was, of course, a reason for this laughable decision. The site of the proposed new headquarters at Crofton Road, overlooking Dun Laoghaire harbour, was 'sold' to O'Kelly and the then Minister for Fisheries, Brian Lenihan, by politically well-connected developers, Brian and Tony Rhatigan, who had been sitting on it since 1972. Through a company called Starling Securities, they had bought the site for about £60,000 and got planning permission in the same year for a five-storey office block, designed by John Graby, their favourite architect. But the Rhatigans played it safe; they weren't going to go ahead with this building until they had some guarantee of letting it. So they sat back and waited patiently for a good fairy to make their dreams come true."
Page 184
"By the time this block was finished in 1972, the brothers were 'bursting with development ideas', as Hibernia reported, and they attracted the attention of Slater Walker, the controversial British investment vehicle whose asset-stripping operations had become part of the unacceptable face of capitalism. Several joint companies were set up -with registered offices at Haughey Boland and Co. in Amiens Street -and Slater Walker agreed to lend them £5 million to develop a selection of sites. But if the London men were hoping to hit the jackpot in Ireland, they were badly mistaken. Indeed, their brief sojourn here turned out to be disastrous. High-priced sites bought up in boom times had to be sold off at huge losses when the market collapsed in 1974 and Slater Walker decamped shortly afterwards. Suitably chastened, the Rhatigans lived to fight another day. They bought the con- demned Scotch House on Burgh Quay and built a hideous mock-Georgian office on the site, replete with aluminium sash windows and a multi-level 'Mansard' roof. Designed by John Graby, it was let to the Department of Posts and Telegraphs and then sold to Irish Pension Fund Unit Trust. And in a consortium with the Investment Bank of Ireland and the McMullan brothers, of Maxol Oil fame, the Rhatigans built over five hundred houses in the grounds of Castletown House."
Is this the same John Graby who is now the Director of the Institute?

And yes, I've seen them both live. I, too, like N/K's pink panther. I don't think Yu-Na Kim is the be all and end of all of ladies' skating and I find that, overall, she made very little impact on the sport. I think Mao is more artistic than Yu-Na.

CHARLESTON (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has ordered all U.S. and state flags lowered until Friday night to honor the victims of the shootings at the Washington Navy Yard.
Tomblin said Monday the flags at all state facilities be displayed at half-staff in accordance with a proclamation from President Barack Obama.
A former Navy man opened fire Monday morning inside a building at the heavily secured Washington Navy Yard. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman.
Tomblin says the "senseless tragedy weighs heavily on the hearts and minds of all of us."

A bill that would legalize medical marijuana in Georgia is scheduled to get a vote in the full Senate Tuesday. However, there's a catch for families who are depending on the medication to help their children.
If the bill is passed into law, it will force those families to make a tough decision.
The current version of the bill says parents can not be arrested by Georgia police, if they are in possession of cannabis oil that was legally prescribed to their child by a doctor. The bill also says the plants that produce the oil will not be grown in Georgia.
If parents go to another state that legally produces the oil, and bring it back into Georgia, they risk breaking federal law that prevents marijuana from being carried over state lines.
"I'm very torn," Stephanie King says. "Because scripture says we're supposed to follow the law of the land."
King's daughter Emily, 13, began getting seizures when she was just 10 months old. At times in her life, she has endured dozens of them a day. King is hopeful the cannabis oil will help her daughter, like it's helped other children with seizures.
"My hope is to give her a better quality of life," King says.
But King says she and her husband have decided they can best protect their daughter by not risking arrest. She knows other families who will attempt to bring the oil into Georgia.
Both the TSA and the US Justice Department says cases like these are not a top priority. But they add, parents would be taking a risk by breaking federal law.
"If we went out to somewhere and found that the oil did work, we would be hard pressed at this point to say, ok we're just going to come home and take her off it," King says.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

About The Opry
What began as a simple radio broadcast in 1925 is today a live entertainment phenomenon. Dedicated to honoring country music's rich history and dynamic present, the Grand Ole Opry showcases a mix of country legends and the contemporary chart-toppers who have followed in their footsteps.
The Opry, an American icon and Nashville, Tennessee's number-one attraction, is world-famous for creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for audiences of all ages.
It's been called the "home of American music" and "country's most famous stage." Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make pilgrimages across town or around the world to the Grand Ole Opry to see the show live. Millions more tune in to Opry broadcasts via a mobile app, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Nashville's 650 AM WSM, and on opry.com and wsmonline.com.
Unforgettable moments happen at the Opry every week… Moments like the night Opry legend Little Jimmy Dickens scaled a kitchen ladder to invite Trace Adkins to become an Opry member.
Or the night Carrie Underwood brought down the house with her rendition of the Tammy Wynette classic, "Stand By Your Man", or the evening Vince Gill invited jazz vocalist Diana Krall to the stage for an impromptu duet.
don't miss a moment
Many of those "Opry Moments" are the result of country music's new stars, superstars and legends taking the same stage on the same night performing a wide variety of musical styles. During any given Opry show, audiences can expect the best in country, bluegrass, comedy, gospel, and more performed by Country Music Hall of Famers, Opry members who helped establish the Opry as the home of country music, revered superstars, and rising stars just starting to make names for themselves. "The Grand Ole Opry celebrates the diversity of all the musical styles under the country music umbrella. In addition, the Opry presents the many generations of artists who have formed country music's rich legacy and continues to forge its future course," says Opry General Manager, Pete Fisher. "The key to the Opry's longevity can be attributed to its ability to evolve with the ever-changing musical landscape of the times."
The Opry's member roster reads like a who's–who of country music and includes Bill Anderson, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Little Jimmy Dickens, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Patty Loveless, Loretta Lynn, Martina McBride, Lorrie Morgan, Old Crow Medicine Show, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Darius Rucker, Jean Shepard, Ricky Skaggs, Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, Trisha Yearwood, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and many more.
About Our Shows
The show that made country music famous features a dynamic line-up of new stars, superstars, and legends of country music in each performance. At the Opry, you can count on things happening you just can't see anywhere else. Unlike a typical concert, the Opry presents eight or more artists on each show, giving the audience a sample of each artist's musical style. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else!
Catch the Opry at the Grand Ole Opry House, February - October, or during the Opry's wintertime run at its most famous former home, the historic Ryman Auditorium, November - January.
Every Friday and Saturday night
Tuesday Night Opry - March 4 - December 9, 2014
Wednesday Night Opry - June 17 - August 5, 2015
An exciting celebration of the songs that made Music City, Opry Country Classics features a celebrity host sharing great stories and songs; guests singing their own hits as well as timeless favorites by the likes of Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash; and a Spotlight Artist headlining the show with several of his or her memorable classics. They don't make songs any more popular than those you'll enjoy during Opry Country Classics, and there's no better place to experience them than at the Ryman Auditorium.*
Thursdays October 2 - October 30, 2014
The show that made country music famous returns to its most famous former home, the Ryman Auditorium, during the winter months for limited engagements in downtown Nashville.
Begins November 4 through the remainder of 2014.

Ontario doctors face wage cuts, clawbacks in government proposal
The Ontario government wants to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in payments to its doctors through fee cuts, fee clawbacks and the elimination of funding for some health-care services, medical groups said Sunday amid an escalating conflict over physician compensation in the province....
"They're basically trying to trash the medical profession, for reasons that don't make a lot of sense," said Ray Foley, executive director of the Ontario Association of Radiologists. "We think it's going to be devastating. It's not going to cause an erosion of patient care, it's going to create a chasm in patient care."

Jury selection began Monday for former Atlanta Public Schools Regional Director Tamara Cotman.
She is the first of 35 APS educators charged in the standardized test cheating scandal to face a jury.
Her attorney Benjamin Davis requested a speedy and separate trial.
"If you look at all the individuals who were charged, she has the least allegations pending against her," said Davis.
Cotman was a regional director for APS. She is accused of racketeering and influencing a witness. Her trial that began Monday will only deal with the influencing a witness charge that accuses her of intimidating a principal.
Davis hopes the outcome of this trial will keep her from having a separate trial to address the racketeering charge.
"On the face of it, it's different, but if one were to pull the indictment she is essentially charged the same thing in the RICO indictment," said Davis. "There is a RICO charge but the only allegation is that she allegedly influenced a witness."
One of the biggest challenges the court will face is finding jurors who have not already formed an opinion.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter assembled 250 potential jurors on Monday. They filled out questionnaires and were told to call the courthouse on Tuesday to find out if they need to report Wednesday.
Jury selection is expected to last all week.

Van Metre finished the season ranked second in the nation for NJCAA Division II players with 4.41 kills per game and eighth in the nation with 507 total kills.

Sioux Falls Police Officer Assaulted by Transient
SIOUX FALLS – A man described as a transient was charged with a list of offenses after a run-in with Sioux Falls police over the weekend in which he allegedly punched an officer.
Information Officer Sam Clemens said police received a report saturday afternoon about a man exposing himself at Whittier Park, and an officer found someone matching the suspect description at 4th Street and North Indiana Avenue:
"As he was trying to talk to this guy the suspect ended up punching the officer a few times in the head," explained Clemens. "The officer was able to get him onto the ground and was eventually able to get him into handcuffs."
The suspect was found to be in possession of a knife.
"He had an open knife, about a 6-inch folding knife, but it was in its locked open position that was in his pocket," said Clemens.
In addition, the suspect was also found to be highly intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .341.
Clemens said 24-year-old Mabior Kor Tong was arrested and charged with simple assault on a law officer, which is a felony, threatening an officer, obstruction, fleeing police, resisting arrest and possession of a concealed weapon.
The 38-year-old officer was treated at a hospital and released.

I did a post over on the Snappy blog about how to hire your first employee. Check it out!
I did a post over on the Snappy blog about how to hire your first employee. Check it out!
Over the past few months I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by twitter. It seemed my timeline was a never-ending stream of things I felt compelled to read.
Some of it truly was important (Well as important as a tweet can be). Much of it though was just chatter. Blocking me from reading more important things and honestly just plain demoralizing to read constantly.
So I decided to act. To take back my personal twitter steam.
I was following 299 accounts and my goal was to bring it down between 50–75. It ended up being easier than I thought to be honest, with minimal bloodshed. In the end I got it down to 90, a reduction of 67%.
The results were immediate and amazing. After being offline for hours I'm able to go into Tweetbot and have a handful of posts to read rather than hundreds. I can spend more time on replies and less feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume.
The only tool I used is called SocialBro. It's free for up to 2 accounts. Really any of these social management tools will probably work. What won't work very well is your normal twitter client or the website.
You'll need access to some more data than they provide. In addition, you need a tool that makes it easy to quickly delete a lot of your following. SocialBro has both, though they're a little wonky to get at. Here's a few screenshots to show you where the important stuff is and how to set it up.
The criteria drop down also has several other important options such as the ability to show you who you are following who's not following you (dead meat!)
Now, you're going to feel oddly sad about starting this process. You know these people, they're your virtual friends.
Well, some of them are going to have to go
The good news though is that those who remain will get your complete focus. Also, you'll be surprised how many accounts you follow aren't people at all or are people that you have no idea who they are.
So let's talk about the steps involved in purging your twitter account.
I literally thought it would be impossible to cut my following count anywhere near 100. Setting a goal beyond what you think is possible will help you click that unfollow button on those accounts that are borderline.
Now, just start working your list. Here's a few things you'll want to sort by, look at and consider.
Pretty much all famous people and most internet famous people can go. You can catch up with them on TMZ or Hacker News (you don't read that right? right?).
Top code tricks, inspiring advertisments, historical pictures, etc etc. All of these have to go. Replace them with RSS feeds if you can. Go read the actual sites if you have time.
These are some of the best ones to remove. They tweet often (always via automation) and usually contain links or other distracting things. Remove the accounts, remove the distractions, gain back 30 minutes a day.
If you use Twitter to authenticate with other systems or for those systems to tweet on your behalf they'll often just add themselves to your following. Obviously those go.
If they're not following you they're not going to be offended you ditched them! I realize this is a little bit harder for folks who don't have a large-ish following, but if they're not following you and you don't regularly get value from their tweets let them go.
We're shooting for a goal here. There's no point in following people who don't tweet. They're just clogging up your list.
A lot of companies and systems are just tweeting what they're posting to a blog somewhere. Remove them from twitter and add them to your feed reader (I like Feedbin.me) and read it as you have time.
You know, the person you met at that conference 4 years ago. Those old coworkers you never talk to, etc. They have to go.
There's some companies I need to follow. Perhaps they provide a critical system for one of our products for example. I want to stay up to date on what's going on, but I don't need it realtime in my timeline. For them, unfollow and add them to a Twitter list.
A lot of people recommend using lists to organize your twitter reading in general. To me, turning twitter into a 20 list Hydra sounds even worse than a single busy timeline. So 1 list for companies/services, that's it.
People you kinda know, you sometimes interact with. Perhaps they're part of a community you're a member of. These are close, but most of them have to go.
Remember, they can still read you, they can still @ you, if you leave enough people from the community in your feed you'll likely still catch important things they say/do via RT's etc. You're trying to up the value of your twitter world by subtracting noise.
Some of the noise is from nice people who you like and don't want to offend. That's why it's better to rip the bandaid off! Get everyone removed all at once. Hey, you can always add them back if you need to.
Ok. You've worked through it all. Now let it rest for 20 minutes. Then go back in for another pass. You'll see accounts you missed the first time. It also gives you time to think through any borderline ones you left in.
Twitter is the fun useful tool you remember it being before you were following 800 accounts. You'll be shocked at how much more time you have as well as the amount of focus you're able to give what remains.
There's a few core principles though that I really believe all help desks should strive for. We build our products with these in mind.
These have served me pretty well, both as someone running a help desk and a software vendor creating them.
This list isn't really in a specific order… except for this one. I find nothing more rude and inconsiderate as a customer than to be forced to register for a separate help desk website/application when I go there needing support.
There is NO upside to this for the customer. I need help. At that point I've probably looked through your self help docs (well if those also aren't behind registration!) and I'm getting worried/scared/mad. The very last thing in the entire world I want to do is go through a registration process.
Even better, often you will have registered in the past. Years ago. So now you get the fun of going through a password reset process. This also inevitably causes MORE support as people have trouble with the registration, they get confused by where they are and if it's the correct place and so on.
The most infuriating part is that 100% of the time on these sites if you go to the sales contact form you can submit with no registration. Better yet, very often those emails go into the same system as support. So a customer that's paid you already ends up with a worse experience than a potential customer asking sales questions.
I get these all the time. These days they're almost always automated which makes them even worse. I don't care if my issue is marked "closed" or not. Guess what, I already know if my issue is resolved or not!! There's is no reason at all to tell the customer about the internal workings and organization of the help desk.
Also, these almost always come several days after the issue has been dealt with. If the issue is fixed I know that already and it's worthless. If it's not, then this only makes me angry as you're closing my ticket and presumably done working on it even though it's not resolved to my satisfaction.
In all but a few very rare circumstances there's no reason to expose the customer to confusing metrics or data points stored by the help desk software. For example, the current "status" of a ticket. It's category, who's assigned, the ticket volume, etc.
From the customers perspective it's all irrelevant. Even worse, it will often be confusing, especially if the status types, for example, are written in a way that makes sense to the staff in the help desk but not to customers.
We all love metrics, statistics, anything that purports to give us an edge. I don't have a problem with that in general, but you shouldn't modify the optimal experience for the customer in order to get them.
Don't make me register before I get support so you can track me one extra step, don't make customer ID required when I have a simple question unrelated to my account (can't you look that up from my email anyway!) and so on.
Keep the flow smooth for the customer and work on filling in the blanks on your side.
This one's obvious. I think we all know about the cable company and it's policy of arriving between 8am and 6pm.
Just recently we had the same sort of experience with a Poland Spring water bottle setup. They were supposed to come between 9am and 6pm. OK, annoying but I was going to be to the office by 8:20 at the latest so no problem.
What time did they arrive? 8am and left when I wasn't there. Now they've wasted my time by going to the office at all (which I otherwise wasn't going to do) and having to reschedule and go there and wait again on a future date.
Wasting the customers time is one of those big ones that get people talking very negatively about you to everyone who will listen.
It's just natural instinct for support staff to write self help documentation in the way that makes the most sense to them. Unfortunately, as they have in depth knowledge of the product if they're not careful it can often become difficult to navigate for customers.
The worse offenders tend to be support portals that are organized into folders as traditional knowledge base software tends to do. Folders are the worst as their nesting makes it impossible for people without fairly specific knowledge of the topic to find what they need easily.
Search isn't always the solution either as it's not uncommon for a customer to know what they need but not what it's called. Whenever possible try to make self help resources easily visually scannable. This way customers can scroll through information without a lot of clicks and navigation.
It's also a good idea to track the search terms entered into your customer self service area so that you can figure out what customers think things are called and adjust the docs as needed.
It's much better to say you don't know then to provide inaccurate information. Usually this isn't an issue on the policy level of the help desk, but rather staff don't feel comfortable saying this to customers.
It's OK if they don't know. Replying quickly with an I don't know, but I'll find out is better than replying very late with an answer in most cases.
It's amazing how often you still see these. Never ever ever send out an email for any purpose with a do not reply address. There's just no reason for it. If someone has a reason to reply why would you ever make that email bounce for them?
If you feel like you must prevent replies then I would suggest still using a valid email and have the help desk software automatically reply to any emails to that address with useful information and where to go if they need further support.
In the constant mayhem of the help desk it's not uncommon to forget to simply listen. Your queue is a mile high, more are coming in, you're trying to respond in a timely fashion to everyone and you just forget to actually listen (or read in the case of email).
I've done it myself more times than I'd care to admit. When it gets crazy try and take a moment and keep your cool. This is only email after all and the vast majority of help desks aren't dealing in life or death issues. Be efficient, but don't skim or be distracted while you're working tickets.
When the customer is coming to support they're often a bit frazzled. Just be human with them. Empathize with them. We've all been on the other end of that support ticket. So stay cool and always be focused on remaining helpful.
Don't use your support email address for newsletters and other mass emails. This is done all the time and it's a huge problem. Newsletters and such are much more likely to be marked as spam. That degrades the deliverability of emails which use those email addresses. Then, in the future when support replies from that address to customers they're more likely to be marked as spam and the customer not see them.
So use an alternate email address or even a different domain (besnappy.net vs besnappy.com for example) to send newsletters. That protects your deliverability and you can still have your help desk software track replies to both email accounts.
Article: Why Bitcoin Matters by Marc Andreessen
I was a big detractor of Bitcoin I have to admit. I've gone through more than a couple rounds of fighting in the UserScape chatroom on it.
I thought it was all silly geek stuff and maybe it is, but the article linked above has really connected some dots for me. It's the first thing I've ever read on Bitcoin that was well thought out and talked about more than what's on the surface.
All the chatter about people trading it like currency has little interest to me, but the article points out much deeper possibilities. The article really struck a nerve with me.
The closest thing I can relate it to is someone explaining the web to you in 1990. Could it be that kind of thing where right now is the time to get in and help shape it?
There's definitely something there. Just like the internet isn't only for viewing porn, Bitcoin apparently isn't only for buying drugs. It's potentially bigger than just making (or losing) a few bucks off a currency trade.
So what to build? How do you contribute? It's a fairly complex technical challenge to even involve yourself in and base level apps and services are only starting to form to abstract some of that (which is why it smells like opportunity).
Money to be made, surely. But even beyond that, the potential to be in on the ground floor. That rare event that only happens every 10–20 years in tech to participate in something radical and brand new like PC's or the Web.
Bootstrappers and startups in general are addicted to Metrics. Measure everything, that's the only way to succeed!!!
I'm not totally against measuring things, but if you're just starting out I think it's highly overrated. Even when you're more established most bootstrapped companies lack sufficient volume and repeatability of traffic to make meaningful analysis.
It sure does make for good blog posts though.
A post with how you retained 450% more of your 10 customers when you do XYZ is prime Hacker News fodder. Does it matter though? At such small numbers it's very hard to be sure.
When I started out there were no metrics other than basic web traffic analysis, so perhaps that's why I don't put as much faith in it as others. I've managed to sell millions of dollars in software without it. I still see plenty of metrics driven companies go out of business, so I definitely don't think it's a magic bullet.
To me, metrics are much more useful if you've already established your product. At that point, small tweaks directly == cash. Before that point they're going to eat up lots of time for at best a small gain and at worst a huge distraction.
This is all related to another phenomenon which is the removal of gut instinct from the equation. I'm a big believer in listening to your instincts. Some things cannot be measured, sometimes measurement limits your options. There's still a place in business for instincts. Most of the great business leaders of our time have them.
Not to say they didn't have help, they didn't measure, etc but there's an X factor that cannot be calculated by Mixpanel. It can't be pulled from your Stripe data. Optimizely can't determine with 99% confidence the optimal outcome of all things.
Something to keep in mind.
You're going on a phone call and you want to lock that door so the kids won't come in and interrupt. All you're doing is guaranteeing a barrage of knocking and yelling that you'll have no way to stop since you're on a headset plugged into your computer.
Instead, leave the door just touching the jam. You get most of the benefits of a closed door, but kids can poke their heads in easy so you can play a mime and shoo them away.
Most people think of working from home as working anytime you want. Some people do work this way, but I'm not a huge fan of it in general. With kids I think it's even worse. Having set times of day that you're working vs not makes the entire thing much easier for children to grok.
This is obvious, but you'll want a decent headset that can remove at least some of the background noise. It's impossible to keep kids quiet so don't try, you always have to be thinking mitigation not prevention.
I try to be as consistent as possible about post work time. We do dinner and then play/read after work. The kids know what to expect because it's our regular schedule every night.
If you make a mid-day exception to your normal working routine to play a game you're opening yourself up to constant interruption thereafter. The child will require all new retraining This makes you sad when they come in to play games all the time and you have to tell them no.
Wait for lunch or after work.
Sometimes you just need to make those exceptions! You hear a crisis in process, go ahead and find out what's going on. Some kind of special occasion, take some time to celebrate with them. You're working from home after all!
Yes, I just contradicted myself. It takes some time to learn to balance the right amount of "I'm working so I can't acknowledge the outside world" and "I'm home so it's silly not to do xyz".
If your child does interrupt your call or is making some noise it's OK to say you're working from home and sorry for the interruption. Most of the time the other person on the phone just says it must be great to be able work from home!
If you have school age kids you'll probably get interrupted around 3pm when they get home. I find it's best to allow this intrusion. Take a minute to get a hug and ask how their day went. It gives you a short cuteness break and gives them a moment of attention before they go off and play.
It's really confusing for kids when you work from home. Home for them is where they relax and play and you working there just doesn't jive with that. It takes a lot of time and patience to get them to fully understand what you're doing and why it's important.
You have to wonder if Everpix would still be around if there was less time spent courting investors and more spent on building out the already popular product.

The Ripple Effect
My happiness comes not only from my family, but from my entire community. Africare's support has lifted us from down to up, and now we are always moving up together!
In the Tillabéri Region of Niger, there's one profession that reigns over all others: farming. Millet and maize are the most popular crops, and 57- year old Ousseini Yade of Tera District has both. But two harsh seasons of drought and subsequent floods left Ousseini with virtually no harvest to sell or food to feed his family. He recalls this as an extremely stressful time.
"When I realized that there was not enough food in the house, I got out searching for some revenue to feed my family. Sometimes I sell leaves that have medical value to generate income," notes Ousseini.
But often times, it was not enough. So, to make ends meet, Ousseini's family would cut down on the food they consumed during the "lean season," virtually starving themselves in order to preserve seed for the annual harvest.
Africare's Food Security Action Project in Tera (PASSAT) selected Ousseini's household for project support after it was classified as one of the most food insecure households in the area, with inadequate food provision for about three months out of the year.
The project provided Ousseini and farmers like him with red bean seeds and agricultural training to make up for his food deficit during severe shortages. The interventions integrate sustainable farming practices that thrive even during unpredictable floods or dry spells, making food available to his family all year round.
"Imagine that within a short time, we were able to benefit from the grains we sowed and eat it before the annual harvest," notes Ousseini. "I am now even in a position to assist others, which is fantastic!"
The ripple effect continues with the help of farmers like Ousseini who continue to teach and pass on their knowledge even though the Africare Project itself has come to an end. During its lifespan in 2008, the project reached out to families in 15 villages in Tera District, improving food coverage for vulnerable households and increasing agricultural productivity with new income-generating opportunities for over 2,000 households. That number increases every day with the help of farmers like Ousseini who have taken "sustainability" to a new level by passing on their knowledge.
Become a part of the ripple effect. Keep their story going. Pass It On for Africare!

The Iowa Hawkeyes are still technically in the hunt to make the first annual Big Ten Championship game. At 2-2 in the conference, they sit one game back in the Legends division behind Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska. After last week's loss to what has been up to that point an awful Minnesota Gophers squad, there isn't much reason for optimism right now in Iowa City. A notoriously outmoded coach has borne the brunt of the Hawkeyes' frustrations, leading to open pleas for something, anything, to change.
The Wolverines, meanwhile, are back to liking their new man at the helm. Brady Hoke's kids rebounded nicely from their loss to Michigan State two weeks ago. Against the Purdue Boilermakers last Saturday, Michigan found it could run the ball without relying solely on Denard Robinson. Fitzgerald Toussaint had 170 yards on 20 carries during the game, after receiving just two touches against the Spartans. The defense held Purdue to just seven points for most of the game, before the Boilermakers added another score against the Wolverines' reserves with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Wolverines are, unsurprisingly, favorites for this weekend's game in Iowa City, playing a wounded Iowa squad. SB Nation projects Michigan to wind up in the Capitol One bowl following the regular season, Iowa is currently headed towards Ticketcity glory. It's never smart to count out anyone in the helter skelter world of college football. Still, Kirk Ferentz has the incredibly tall task of rebuilding his team's confidence mid stride.
Game date, time: 12:00 p.m. ET, Saturday, Nov. 5
Location: Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA
TV channel: ESPN/ESPN3
Spread: Michigan favored by 3.5 points
Series history: Michigan leads, 56-12

Here's a look at how the Packers' first-year players are faring through 13 games:
OT Bryan Bulaga (first round): As generally solid as Bulaga has been as the starting right tackle in place of veteran Mark Tauscher (injured reserve), he continues to have his share of growing pains. Such was the case against the Lions in Week 14. Bulaga was pressured consistently by the Lions' fired-up front four on a day when the entire offensive line left a lot to be desired.
DE Mike Neal (second round): Neal was placed on injured reserve before the Jets game in Week Eight with a season-ending shoulder injury. He showed good potential in the two games in which he was able to play, but he had problems staying healthy.
SS Morgan Burnett (third round): Burnett was placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week Four. He entered the season as the starting strong safety after an excellent offseason and training camp.
TE Andrew Quarless (fifth round): Quarless had his best numbers of the season against the Lions (team-high five catches for a team-high 62 yards). But his fumble at the end of a sizable gain, which stopped a promising game-opening drive dead in its tracks, was a costly mistake. Quarless' 20-yard catch on the Packers' first second-half possession helped set up the team's only points of the day on Mason Crosby's 42-yard field goal.
OG Marshall Newhouse (fifth round): Newhouse has yet to be activated this season and remains an emergency insurance policy for the offensive line.
RB James Starks (sixth round): One week after a very impressive pro debut (18 carries for a team-high 73 yards), Starks, who was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list on Nov. 9, came down to earth big-time against the Lions with only eight yards rushing on six carries, one of which was a seven-yarder.
DE C.J. Wilson (seventh round): Wilson's playing time increased in Week 14 with Cullen Jenkins sidelined with a calf injury, but he failed to get on the stat sheet. On the game's lone TD — Lions TE Will Heller's 13-yard TD catch — Wilson was out of position on his zone drop.
Undrafted rookies:
OLB Frank Zombo — Zombo contributed two tackles against the Lions before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter with a sprained knee that could keep him out of the Packers' next game in New England. He has been doing a surprisingly solid job as the team's starting right outside linebacker in place of the injured Brad Jones, and the Packers' run defense quickly went downhill after he was removed from the Lions game.
CB Sam Shields — The fastest player on the team continued to be reliable both as the nickel corner — Dom Capers went with a nickel defense 75 percent of the time against the Lions — and primary kickoff returer (2-47 vs. Lions). Green Bay's special-teams coaches believe Shields is a good bet to go the distance on a kickoff return any game now.
TE Tom Crabtree — Crabtree's primary contribution has been as a blocker and special-teams performer, but he had a bad day at the office in Detroit, getting beaten badly for a sack and also failing to block the Lions' Lawrence Jackson on a couple of runs.
RB Dimitri Nance — Returning to the lineup after being inactive the previous week, Nance had only four yards rushing on two carries but looked good picking up 14 yards on a screen pass late in the game.
OL Nick McDonald — The undrafted center-guard from Division II Grand Valley State is currently the team's 10th offensive lineman and is not likely to see any playing time unless there is suddenly a rash of injuries on the O-line. But the Packers like his versatility and toughness and believe he could have a promising future.
CB Josh Gordy — Having spent four months with Jacksonville as a rookie free agent before being cut Sept. 1, Gordy is fast and athletic with skills similar to those of Shields. While he is expected to contribute more in the future, he shapes up as a special-teamer and emergency fill-in at cornerback for now.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Prescription drug and heroin abuse is on the rise, and multiple local agencies are partnering to combat the problem.
Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said 25 percent of the county jail's population is behind bars because of drug-related charges. He said in the past year, the Capital Region has seen nearly double the drug related arrests from previous years.
Julianne Malin's son developed a drug addiction after he got hurt playing sports.
"I did not know my son was doing it," she said. "I really didn't. They can hide it very well."
Her son was a 17-year-old varsity football player. He had surgery following an injury and was prescribed opiates for his pain.
Keith Stack is the Executive Director for the Addiction Care Center of Albany.
"Innocently enough, it's an athletic injury," he said. "It's in their family's medicine cabinet."
Malin said her son switched to heroin when he ran out of prescription medication. That's when she noticed changes.
"His entire personality changed," she said. "He quit school, he got withdrawn; secretive."
She also said items around the house such as jewelry, money and electronics began to disappear to feed her son's addition.
"It's back with a vengeance, and it's as bad as everybody says and then some," Apple said.
Apple said heroin abuse and drug-related crimes are on the rise.
"Cause most people are out there stealing and assaulting and burglarizing and doing everything to feed their addition," he said.
Apple said it's a tough battle that's destroying families, but Stack said the battle is not lost.
"Call a treatment center," Stack advised. "There is a whole host of different providers within the Capital District that can help."
Project Safe Point is a drug prevention service program that provides Overdose Prevention Rescue Kits to families. The kits contain naloxone, a drug that instantly reverses the effects of opiates to provide life-saving time during a potential overdose before EMTs arrive.
"We don't have to just arrest. We really want to help people," Apple continued. "That's what we're here to do. We are here to help people; not just throw him in jail."
But for Malin, her goal was to get her son off drugs and not just save his life during an overdose, so she kicked him out of the house.
"I cried and cried and cried, but I knew I had to do it," she said.
It tore her family apart.
"I felt compelled to defend my son where his sister was just really mad at him," she continued. "It was rough. It was rough."
In the end, it saved his life.
"It really finally made him realize that 'I don't like my life in addiction anymore,'" Malin said.
Contact Project Safe Point to obtain an Overdose Prevention Rescue Kit by calling (518) 449-3581 or visiting their website www.ccaidsalbany.org.
If a family member is in need of counseling or addiction help, contact the Hubbard Center at (518) 452-0001 or the Hope House at (518) 482-4673.

Program to Support Computer Application for Medicine
University of Virginia, 2005 - $25,410This project seeks to create a new type of senior thesis program at the University of Virginia. Currently, over the course of a nine-month period, engineering students write an individual thesis that identifies, analyzes and offers a solution to a specific technical challenge. With this project, UVA will move away from traditional (individual) research and toward multidisciplinary student collaboration by having E-Teams develop computer applications for use in the medical field. In liaison with the university's school of medicine, each team will identify a medical need, suggest a solution, devise and test a prototype and follow the development cycle through to commercial viability.
Four E-Teams (each with three members) will be created during the first two years. Thereafter, it is assumed that more seniors from the annual pool of 450 individuals will join E-Teams; they will be selected on a competitive basis.
