Tips to kick-start your career
Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:50 PM EDT
Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:53 PM EDT
(ARA) - Facing a struggling economy and record levels of unemployment, millions of young people will head back to thousands of U.S. colleges and universities this fall, anxious about their job prospects over the next few years.
Kick-starting a new career in this challenging economy won't be easy as graduates from the classes of 2011, 2010 and 2009 have learned the hard way. But, with a little determination and preparation, college students can increase their odds of landing a job right out of school and laying a foundation for future success.
One of the most important areas of concern for college students who plan on entering the workforce soon is the Internet. While it can be extremely helpful in finding internships and jobs, it can also cripple your career prospects, according to
, a leading online destination for legal information. College students must pay extra attention to their use of the Internet. Embarrassing or inappropriate photos, messages, opinions and documents can live on the Internet for years, and can negatively impact a young person's search for gainful employment.
Here are some additional tips from FindLaw.com on what college students should do now to prepare to land the job of their dreams right out of school:
Don't embellish your resume. Compiling a resume is the first step to finding a job - or even an internship while you're attending college. Go to the job placement center at your college or university to get tips on how to write an effective resume. But take heed: Exaggerating accomplishments on your resume will more often end up hurting you than helping you. Companies have become more sophisticated in conducting background and reference checks through job application forms and resumes. Instead, focus on using keywords and figures to highlight your strengths and to demonstrate increasing levels of responsibility.
Watch what you post online. Savvy employers use the Internet, including social networking sites such as
, Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Twitter, to not only scout new talent, but to determine if you'll be a good fit for their organization. When posting online, avoid foul language, inappropriate pictures, lewd jokes, and references to drug abuse and excessive alcohol consumption. Avoid posting offensive statuses, and limit the number of posts on Facebook and other online forums. Too many postings on Facebook or Twitter says you're spending too much time on social networking sites rather than on your studies.
Build a work history. Most employers want to see job candidates who are building a track record of successful employment - taking on roles that increase in responsibility from one job to the next. Employers want to see results and accomplishments, especially as it relates to your field of interest. To get the experience needed to land the job of your dreams, college students and those just out of college may need to take jobs or internships that may not pay as much as they would like. You should also consider volunteering with non-profit organizations in order to gain critical skills. If you're entering your junior year in college, it is not too soon to be seeking internships in the profession or industry that you're interested in working in.
Good references. If you left your previous job in good standing, your old boss is more likely to give you a good reference. The better the reference, the more likely you'll get that job you're applying for. Former coworkers can often make for good references as well. It's important to stay in touch with previous employers and co-workers who can serve as references for future employment. In addition to on-the-job references, professors and coaches at your college can serve as references.
Build your networks. It is not too soon to begin building a professional network of contacts while you are in college. Create a LinkedIn page to begin promoting your experience, accomplishments and skills, as well as to maintain your contacts with professors, mentors and fellow students. Maintain a blog to showcase your career and volunteer accomplishments. Join professional associations to network with others in your chosen field.
Establish mentor relationships. Identify two to three working professionals in your profession from whom you can obtain career advice and wisdom. Invite them for coffee to learn about what you can do to enhance your career direction.
Study the job market. While you're in school, not after you graduate, is the time to study the job market and find out what industries are hiring and how much you can expect to be paid upon graduating from college. For example, a 2009 Labor Department study of college graduates under 25 showed that those who majored in engineering were more likely to find jobs just out of college than those who majored in the humanities. You may be passionate for what you're studying, but it's just as important to be realistic about your job prospects.
Assess your student debt. According to the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, the average 2010 four-year college graduate earned a median starting salary of $27,000. As a student, you should analyze the amount of student debt you are taking on to achieve your degree in light of the amount of money you'll make in your chosen field. Graduating with a mountain of student debt can make it more difficult to establish a good credit history and take the risks that are necessary in building a solid career.

A bequest is a gift made through your will or living trust and is the most popular type of deferred gift to Pacific Northwest Ballet. There are many good reasons for its popularity. A bequest is revocable, meaning that you retain full control over your assets during your lifetime should you need them. It's flexible—you can name as many charitable beneficiaries as you would like, and specify what each will receive. In addition, your estate is entitled to an estate tax deduction for the full amount of the bequest gift.
There are different kinds of bequest gifts you can make:
For sample bequest language to share with your attorney, please click here.
You may choose to designate your bequest for current use, so that your gift can help meet pressing needs at the time it is received, or you may direct it to the PNB Endowment. With an endowment gift, you ensure that your annual support continues in perpetuity, for the benefit of future generations. Whichever way you choose , you truly create a living legacy at Pacific Northwest Ballet.
For more information about including PNB in your will or living trust, or if you have already provided for Pacific Northwest Ballet in your estate plans, please contact Lindsay Krause, Major Gifts and Planned Giving officer, firstname.lastname@example.com or 206-441-3599.

The shorter version:
Checkout Online Personal Assistant. I recommend it, it's saved me time and made my life easier. Best part is you can use it from wherever…
Try it, tell Ed you got there from here, and he'll treat you nice
The longer version:
OK, so I'm the first to admit that I often find myself with too many balls to juggle. I find that having more to do actually makes me more productive and when I get in the zone, things happen and it feels good.
However, when you're starting a business, or working on something important to you, and you decide that it is the highest priority in your life, then other things slip down the priority order, and they simply don't get done.
Cases in point:
- I've needed to get a UK drivers license for at least 3 years now
- I've needed to renew my South African passport for over a year now
- I've been serious about taking up Kendo, or a Japanese Sword Art, for at least 18 months
- I've needed to sort out health insurance for a long long long time
- I wanted to organise a birthday bash for myself this year, for precisely the reason why it didn't happen last year
I think you get the picture…. Basically you keep your life together somehow until something threatens to break, then you mend it so it doesn't break in the short term, then you go back to being focussed. I know not everyone is like that, but I am, hence this post!
Anyways, I'm not really into recommending or plugging services that I don't have a lot of exposure to, mainly 'cos I get too many emails so it's hard to decide whom to spend an hour for getting to know a service, and also 'cos people don't really read my blog for that reason I'm not Scoble or Arrington or Kirkpatrick, and neither do I want to be.
Back to the point – a while ago my friend Ed setup a service called Online Personal Assistant, and after a bit of nudging I decided to give it a try. My @Inbox was overflowing, and I really just needed to clear some stuff that was important, but not that important it could go above Kindo.
So I sent a list of stuff to my personal assistant Kevin:
- Book Geek BBQ venue for summer in London
- Book karting venue for my birthday delebration
- Book bowling venue for my birthday celebration
- Find me health insurance
- Find me Tai Chi schools close to where I live
- Find me Kendo schools close to where I live
As you can see, they're all time intensive tasks that would mean me spending a few hours online for each one, at some point, getting to a place where I can make a decision and then do some actions… Getting my passport and drivers license require me to be somewhere in person, so I needed to do that.
Where we are now is that Ed's team (thanks Kevin!) has spent about 9 hours doing all that stuff for me, for which I'll pay an hourly rate. Everything is documented and tracked in an online workspace (not Basecamp), and I'm happy with the results. I have a few things to tie down now, but basically all the research is done, and all it requires is another booking, or an action on my part.
Bottom line – I've saved 9 hours of my time (which I value more than what I'll pay for it), thereby enabling me to focus on things more important to me now, so as far as I'm concerned I'm a happy biologist.
I happily recommend the service, and am going to continue to use it.

Let's think about this. A baseball team is designed based on months or years of information. Then in spring training, there's another six weeks for roster fine-tuning. When a team begins a year with a plan, a lot of work and a lot of data has gone into that plan. The team will presumably be confident in that plan.
So, the Boston Red Sox are 0-3. They chose to begin the season with Daniel Bard in the rotation, but the bullpen was a problem in the season's first series. I'm going to say that part again, to drive the point home: the season's first series. Are the Red Sox already thinking of deviating from their plan? Ben Cherington says, no, that's silly, you're silly.
Red Sox GM Ben Cherington ... said that his team would not reconsider its decision to commit to Daniel Bard in the rotation.
"Right now, he's starting [Tuesday] for us. We made a decision this winter collectively to give him a chance to get stretched out in spring training and show us what he can do. We feel like he showed enough in spring training, enough development, to carry that into the season," said Cherington.
Cherington wouldn't close the door on the possibility that Bard could return to the bullpen down the road, but that's down the road. For now, the Red Sox planned on starting Daniel Bard, so they'll start Daniel Bard and keep from overreacting to what was simply a bad series. If there are more bad series for the bullpen, perhaps the Red Sox will do something about it. Perhaps they'll even bump Bard back, if he's having trouble as a starter. But for the time being, no, the Red Sox are staying calm, and they'd probably like it if the fans and media would stay calm, too. Not that they ever will, about anything.

Racing roundup: Busch wins Nationwide, Dixon prevails in TorontoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | July 14,2013LOUDON, N.H. Kyle Busch overcame three attempts at a green-white checkered finish to keep his lead and win the Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Busch won his seventh race of the season Saturday in NASCARs second-tier series. He snapped a four-race winless streak and won his 58th career Nationwide race.
He had to go long to win this one. Because of the three green-white checkered attempts, the race went 213 laps. It was scheduled for 200.
Busch had enough fuel left in the tank to last the 13 extra laps, allowing him to win from the pole for the fourth time this season.
Brian Vickers was second and Austin Dillon third. Brian Scott and Michael Annett round out the top five.
Dixon overtakes
Bourdais in Toronto
TORONTO Scott Dixon passed Sebastien Bourdais with nine laps to go Saturday to win on the street course at Toronto.
Its Dixons second consecutive win after picking up his first victory of the season last weekend at Pocono.
The 31st win of his career moved him into a tie for seventh on the all-time win list with teammate Dario Franchitti, Bourdais and Paul Tracy.
Bourdais was second in his first podium finish since the 2007 Champ Car season.
Franchitti was third after giving up the position to Will Power on the last lap, but Power couldnt make the pass stick as he hit the tire barrier after slipping ahead.
IndyCar penalized Franchitti after the race for blocking Power, issuing a 25-second penalty that took him out of third place. He still participated in the podium ceremony.MORE IN Wire SportsBRISTOL, Tenn. Its the kind of jumble that can make even the most seasoned driver nervous. Full StoryPARAMUS, N.J.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This rock is located in the "Springer Gulch" area of Elevenmile Canyon. This wall presently hold 5 sport routes. The rock here is very wavy and the cruxes tend to be overcoming roofs and bulges to get to the next wave. This wall faces south and is is good cooler weather destination.All of the routes except "English Body" have 2 bolt anchors for lowering. "English Body" has a good tree anchor at the top andcan easily be decended by walking off to the climbers right. I totally recommend "Crest of a Wave", "Body English", and "Scoop Deville".
Getting There
Drive to the campground that is below the "Springer Gulch" cliff @ 5.4 mile. The crags are easily visible to the north from the parking area at the campground. Park outside the campground in the pullout and head towards the crag. There really isn't an extablished trail, however the terrain is easy and the cliffs are obvious. Reach the "Springer Gulch" cliff after a short 10 minute hike. Head around right from this cliff. When the cliff terminates head uphill about 200 yards to reach the "Scoop Wall" identified by an overhang that runs across the bottom and the wavy bulges above.

(WMC-TV) - There is a new push to put pressure on Tennessee lawmakers for a referendum vote on wine in grocery stores.
The group Red White and Food knows about the challenges ahead but it insists it has Tennesseans on its side. The group hopes a new campaign will prove it.
The concept of being able to buy wine where you buy food has been debated in Tennessee for more than a decade.
"Thirty-six of the 50 states allow this," said Jarron Springer, who spoke on behalf of Red White and Food. "Majority of our bordering states allow this."
Red White and Food is a coalition of retailers and consumers who want wine in Tennessee grocery stores.
The group kicked off a new postcard campaign. You can find the "Wish Wine Were Here" postcards in places like Kroger. The goal? The group hopes people in favor of having wine in grocery stores will them out and send the cards to lawmaker, putting on the pressure to get a referendum on the ballot.
"Allow local government to have referendums, so citizens can vote in those areas," said Springer. "That's how liquor sales and package by the drink come into a community."
Two years ago, a Middle Tennessee State poll found nearly 70 percent of Tennesseeans want wine in grocery stores. Just 17 percent opposed it and 13 percent were undecided.
One of those against it was Josh Hammond. He runs Buster's Wine and Spirits in Memphis. Earlier this year, he said mom and pop stores statewide are in jeopardy if wine is sold in grocery stores.
"To change the rules and literally put us up against corporate giants like Kroger and Wal-Mart and Costco. It puts us at a competitive disadvantage," said Hammond.
"It's hard for me to believe that they can't compete because other states and other competitors are able to do that," said Springer.

The New Orleans Saints got the football back after the Detroit Lions once again failed to capitalize on another Saints turnover, and the Saints once again began to methodically march right down the football field. Drew Brees connected with wide receiver Marques Colston for a 23-yard gain on the first pass of the drive. A few plays later Chris Ivory picked up a third and short to keep the drive alive.
Right before the two-minute warning, wide receiver Robert Meachem made a ridiculous catch on the sideline to put the Saints in third and short.
There were off setting penalties on the very next play and Drew Brees missed on third and one. The Saints went for it on fourth down with Chris Ivory pounding the ball off of the right tackle to muscle for the first down. Brees hit tight end Jimmy Graham for an 11-yard gain to get the Saints in the redzone. A few plays later, Brees took a shot in the endzone to Marques Colston who looked like he caught a touchdown, but after the review it was overturned because he did not maintain control through the catch to the ground.... or the Calvin Johnson rule.
There was a penalty also called on the play however, as a personal foul was called on cornerback Amari Spievey because of "contact to the helmet". Even after the penalty gave the Saints a new set of downs, the Lions defense was able to hold the Saints to just a field goal, taking a 14-10 lead into halftime.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.

this in an issue ive noticed for a long time now across a few versions of ACAD, not sure whats causing it. When i try to draw an XLINE sometimes the command will get locked into either horizontal or vertical mode, without me choosing that option. seems to based on the OSNAP pickpoint i grab maybe.
attached are pics of the process.
i run XLINE, pick endpoint and bam, its locked into horizontal mode, very annoying if im trying to make a vertical and horizontal line based off the same point.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am not aware of a setting to force XLINE to be Horizontal by default.
I can only reproduce your issue with specific settings but the Default never seems to be Horizontal on my systems. Your graphics are a little hard to follow so I put together a test for you to try.
Please review the following linked video.
In the video the issue is repeatable by having Ortho turned on when selecting the Endpoint of a Rectangle.
Try my example and see what your results are compared to my video or just verify that your Ortho is off when doing this process and see if you get the results you are looking for.
Let me know if this helps.
anwser is in there, thanks for the reply though Thayne, i do appreciate knowing Autodesk has my back
i almost always have ortho turned on
Appreciate the additional details in the link explaining that it could be Ortho or as found in your case the O-Snap "Perpendicular" is enabled.
Just trying to help.

I know, and i do appreciate it, like i said, its good to know someone from A.desk is there for me
Bumping this so maybe someone at Autodesk will pick up on it. AND MAYBE FIX IT
This is definately broken. It's all about weather you have ther perpendicular option ticked in osnaps. The broken part is that you can toggle (F3) Osnaps off and the behavior doesn't go away until you go in and un-tick perpendicular.
Makes me avoid XLINE.
This problem is not related to ortho mode being on as shown in the video above.

According to Metro police, on Saturday near 2:00 a.m. they received a call indicating a man had possibly been stabbed outside near the 300 block of North 10th Street. Officers on scene located an adult male lying in the grass deceased from what appeared to be multiple stab wounds.
The LVMPD Homicide Section is continuing its investigation, but it appears that the victim was sleeping outside in a make-shift living area. A witness told investigators the victim was involved in a struggle with an unidentified assailant prior to the stabbing. This witness tried to help and then called police.
There is no suspect in custody in connection with this incident and the motive behind this stabbing is unknown at this time.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact the LVMPD Homicide Section at 828-3521 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 385-5555. You may also leave information online at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.

Jasper Police Chief Connie Cooner Rowe, Walker County Coroner J.C. Poe and Walker County Jail Administrator Trent McCluskey spoke to the students about various issues they may face in dealing with crimes, victims and offenders.
Rowe explained the escalation of domestic violence situations and relationships, comparing it to a ladder — with the first rung being verbal abuse, then moving up to higher levels of control and abuse.
She talked to the students about how manipulative and convincing domestic violence offenders can be. She called them "experts in psychology" who learn their victim's weaknesses and exploit them to exert control over them.
She used the example of Karen Lane, a Cordova woman who was in a short-term relationship with Gregory Hunt. She was beaten to death in an apartment. Other women later testified they had suffered abuse at Hunt's hands when they were dating him years earlier. Hunt is currently on death row in Holman prison.
Rowe also talked about things that the nurses could tell victims to encourage them to get help, including pleading with them to protect themselves and their children, telling them they deserve better and that it's a crime. She also lauded local resources like Daybreak that assists victims with getting out of unsafe situations.
Poe discussed the importance of collecting and protecting evidence.
He also touched on the Lane case, saying investigators found Hunt's hand prints in Lane's blood in the house and on Lane's body.
That evidence helped convict Hunt.
He advised the future nurses on how to preserve evidence if a victim is brought in to the hospital or clinic where they are working. He talked about preserving physical evidence on clothes and victims, as well as maintaining the chain of custody so any recovered evidence can be used in court.
One of the students asked Poe what the worst case he had ever worked and he responded that the unsolved cases were the ones that really haunted him, referencing the bombing at the old People's Hospital in 1980.
McCluskey talked about dealing with psychopaths, saying there was no definitive way to know a psychopath, but warning signs are usually present, such as antisocial behavior.
He also discussed the importance of having an objective, professional standard of judgement, referencing examples in his field but emphasizing that objective standards are important in any field.
He said his heart breaks for the victims who suffer these crimes, but he still has to maintain the level of care for the offenders that they are afforded by law, saying societies that have ignored those rights have been run by men like Hitler.
"We're still held and bound to a constitutional standard of care," McCluskey said. "We've got to make sure that we don't become Nazi Germany. We've got to make sure that you are measured by an objective standard in your career."

Post subject: United Devices winds down
Back in the day when the internet was fairly safe and Windows 98 was on top, while searching for some new screen-savers, I discovered not only a screen-saver but a handy little app that would run science calculations as well
This marvel was known as SETI@Home.
I also discovered another application that did double duty as a screen-saver - United Devices. This one did calculations for cancer cures and later on did some other important work in the Patriot Grid set-up, running calculations for Anthrax cures.
As time went on, grid.org, the controlling site added some other components like Rosetta and later World Community Grid, but these required higher processing than my poor Pentium II laptop could provide, so I stuck with what had been successful.
As the Distributed Computing community became more knowledgeable and sophisticated, people expected more for their time and efforts and little by little UD became less favorable to end users.
Depending on what you read and who wrote the article both UD and F@H claimed to have a higher share of users and computing power; however only F@H was willing to publish actual numbers (in the form of FLOPS) and not just state how many times the program had been downloaded or how many users had done this.
The other noteworthy thing missing was the publication of science papers open for peer review and to the public. Grid.org was a for profit company. Though several big time companies donated time, energy and resources for a cure for cancer, in the long run the results were bought and paid for by third parties (including the U.S. Government re: Patriot Grid) and not for the betterment of all.
In hindsight, it seems strange that the U.S. Government would enlist the aid of an English University to conduct these computations.
As UD went quietly without much fanfare, it's a wonder I discovered this as soon after the fact as I did (I've known since May) . I learned of this development through
Kirk Pearson
's most excellent
where upon further reading I discovered this in the "Recently Completed Distributed Computing Projects":
United Devices Cancer Research. searched for cancer-fighting drugs. The project was a partnership among grid.org, the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR), and the Centre for Drug Discovery in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, England.
2nd down
where further into the article a link is provided to the following:
April '07 Grid Project Ends
On Friday 27 April the Screensaver Project finally came to a close. The project, developed with the National Foundation for Cancer Research has run for six years and has at various times been funded by Intel, Microsoft and by IBM, but was chiefly a collaboration with United Devices Inc of Austin Texas.
Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford © Copyright University of Oxford 2001-2007
Further down the "Recent" page, there is a bit about World Community Grid, where following another link to "The Smallpox Protection Project".
The first stage in finding a treatment for smallpox, a potential threat as a potent weapon of bioterror, is complete. Professor Graham Richards, Chairman of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, together with research and industry partners, will deliver the results of the Smallpox Research Grid project to representatives from the United States Department of Defense today [Tuesday 30 September].
Please note who receives the results - the
United States Department of Defense
Another problem with the program was the software used by grid.org. It didn't support the newer technologies being made in the computer industry such as hyper-threading processors made by Intel. This made it impossible to run more than one instance at the same time on the same machine as could be done with F@H. The BOINC client has built in support to run as many instances as cores identified by the client.
In the final days, controversy found it's way into the forum as a moderator called a supporter an idiot. I found myself embroiled in a flame war just because I stated it was possible to run UD on a hyper-threaded PC alongside another application like F@H or BOINC without an appreciable loss in production. There was an identical computer in the house at the time running only UD; my machine running both UD and F@H nearly matched the UD output of that other machine.
A former colleague wrote an excellent article about choosing a Distributed Computing project.
"On the Selection of a Research Project"
The key points were:
RuyLopez wrote:
Consider the stated objectives of the research project.
Consider the source of funding that financially supports the project.
Consider the stature of the institutions conducting the research.
Consider the historical track record and reputation of the Principal Investigator (Lead Scientist) of the project.
Consider whether the results of the project will be published openly within the peer reviewed literature, or withheld for a restricted audience.
Consider whether the research is being conducted as a for-profit, or not-for-profit activity.
These are excellent starting points for making a decision.
Other things to seriously consider is
preferences. Does the project resonate with you.
It can be argued that SETI@Home is a frivolous project; that F@H has more potential benefits for humanity. That hasn't stopped the over five million people that have participated through the years.
When I first participated in these projects (SETI, UD) there were no real guidelines to follow and I had yet to partake in the forum experience. My (lifelong) interest in Astronomy was a big factor in choosing SETI, and this was really new - and exciting. Helping science understand cancer via UD seemed like a really good idea - something noble one could do - a contribution one could make without any special skills or knowledge or tools except a simple program one could obtain for free online.
It may have been a baby step, but it was a step to
Make A Difference
For over a year, my Pentium II - 333 MhZ laptop ran (struggled) with both SETI and UD, and most of the work I accomplished in these projects was done on that machine, though for a few months my new Pent. 4 hyper-threaded machine ran some Work Units for UD and I formed my team in memory of my father.
Goodbye old friend. Remember me kindly.

Interesting article, Seafsee.
I too have contributed to seti@home. I think I would continue to contribute if the project was learning something, not just searching for a needle in a haystack. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Do we have any scientific discoveries stemming from seti@home?
I heard today one some of the star systems that were previously discovered to have an orbiting planet or two, has now revealed 5 planets. Here's one article at Scientific American:
Record Fifth Planet Discovered Around Distant Star
Now that sounds exciting to me!
Maybe we really aren't alone.

Thanks, seafsee. Because it was looking for a cure for cancer, I also contributed to UD for quite a long time but I started getting concerned when they started running other projects, particularly ones for the US government such as the Anthrax project. That wasn't what I had signed up for! It also seemed that they became more and more a "closed shop" that did not publish results to the medical community.
Then I found out about Folding@Home and all my prayers were answered! Here was a project that was trying to find cures for several nasty diseases, most of which affected at least one member of my family and/or friends and, even better, they published all of their results to the worldwide community.
Now I keep doing all I can to get more machines folding. Unfortunately, I occasionally lose one and nearly all of my machines were reassigned not so long ago but I keep trying!

First of all, thank you both for your responses. I wasn't sure if I should expect any.

One of the criticisms of SETI@Home has been it's usefulness.
Are we searching for a needle in a cosmic haystack or are we wasting our time?
I'm not exactly sure if there is a good answer to that question.
I have also not been one to search through any science papers that may have (or may not have) come from the project.
I can say that as progress has been made in the computational end of the program - the part we end-users get to see, that much and probably more has gone into that which we do not see. For instance, the data capturing is at least seven times more powerful than it was in the beginning.
If you were unaware, the BOINC project was born from the same minds that made the original S@H screensaver model. What was learned from the early successful effort has been used to make an improved program to sift the data. Also, Einstein@Home is using the same data collected for SETI to run their computations.
The BOINC platform was built using knowledge learned from the original program and it is open to many other projects to use to run data in the same way.
To view any science papers from the program, it would be best to visit the main site and follow a few links.

It seems as we all collectively learned about F@H at CastleCops, the more we not only appreciated how the program was run, but also the open nature of the project - how it's findings were available to everyone.
The latter reason alone I believe was enough to doom the UD project.
The subject of a CastleCops team for UD was brought up on at least two separate occasions - the first by myself and the last by none other than wawadave - who also contributed quite a bit of processing power to that project. In fact if you look closely at the beginning posts in the CC F@H forum you'll see where Dave confused UD with F@F on a few occasions.
I also know he ran into similar problems in their forums as I later did. I wanted to post about my experiences in a staff forum but was discouraged from doing so by another ex-staffer and fellow team mate. The negative forum experience was yet another nail in the coffin for UD.
I tried to have a staffer point me in the right direction in regards to papers published and was directed to a three year old paper on the merits of using a distributed computing model to run the required computations. This is generally THE starting point for any project. No one was ever able to show me anything of value beyond that.
The final obstacle for United Devices was the lack of a client to make good use of hyper-threaded technology and the later multi core technologies in use by F@H and BOINC.
In fact, I stayed away from BOINC in the beginning for two main reasons; the first being that the email account I signed up with was no longer in service and I could not retrieve a crucial password in order to migrate my classic account to my BOINC account; the second (though not necessarily in this order) was reports of problems with the first BOINC clients I had heard of in the CastleCops forums. Was one of those dissenting voices yours as I seem to recall?
Has SETI found new life and civilization in the cosmos yet?
Have we learned anything from the effort yet?
Did UD publish and share any information with the public or interested parties?
No nad yes.
These were more the points I was attempting to make.
I differed with the Team CastleCops committee on several key areas which I felt were important; which were the deciding factors in dropping my support of their efforts. The factors in deciding which project to support, quoted in the first post being a small example. On their own, they are good points to consider. In my opinion, they are part of a larger picture. Another key question as I raised is the neutralness of the funding. "Nationally recognized", "respectable organizations" does not preclude certain "biases". If one looks deeply enough, one finds that if grass was found to cure a certain disease, by virtue of several organizations and LAWS, it could not be called a cure by virtue of it being natural (in the United States at least). I find this troubling on many levels.
Looking to the future, there are two projects in particular I am most excited about; Planetquest and Orbit@Home.
I feel a call to destiny with one of these. The other I feel strongly is a good use of spare cycles to help humanity.
At least with these two, I won't have to wonder about the information gathered with my contribution and how that will get used.

Suns Strokes: Suns snap six-game losing streak with win over 76ers
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 95-89 win over the Sixers on January 2.
The Good:
The Suns beat the Sixers to snap a six-game losing streak on Wednesday night at US Airways Center. They have not won a game since December 19, 2012 against Charlotte. Four of the six losses during this skid were by a combined 15 points.
The Suns also won for the fifth time in their last seven home games and for the seventh time in their last 11 contests overall at USAC. This is also the Suns' 1,999 victory in franchise history.
The Bad:
Despite the Suns' stellar defensive efforts on the Sixers, guard Jrue Holiday recorded 16 points, a career-high-tying 10 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday. That was his second career triple-double and his first since February 2, 2011 at New Jersey.
� Luis Scola finished with his third straight 20-point game. That's his longest streak since January 27-February 1, 2011. He now has six 20-point efforts for the Suns. Scola is also averaging 26 points, nearly seven rebounds and four assists per game in the last three games.
He Said It:
"For us it was obviously a much, much, much needed win," said head coach Alvin Gentry. "If you look at [Wednesday] I think you just have to say it's a total team effort. I just thought when we needed certain guys to step up, they did and when we needed certain guys to make a play here and there, we did also."
Up Next:
The Suns stay in the Valley to host the Utah Jazz on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and then host the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday at 6 p.m. at USAC.

Effective Eclipse: Custom Templates
The same way I try to avoid the redundancy in my code, the same way I try to avoid the redundancy in my writing. I am lazy and templates do the most writing for me. Eclipse comes bundled with predefined templates, but they are too general and not all of them are too useful. The real power is in custom templates. In this article I would like to show you how to create them and list a few useful pieces for inspiration.
What are templates
Exactly as the name suggests, templates are little pieces of code with defined placeholders. An example of simple template is
Each template has a name, which serves as a shortcut to the template itself. You type the name, press CTRL + SPACE and it will be expanded.
Our first template would expand to
I will not explain here what it all means, I already did this in my previous post on templates. What is important now, is that the ${text} placeholder (variable) was highlighted and can be edited immediately.
The true power of templates can be fully seen in more complex templates. The first power point lies in the fact, that you can have more than one variable with same name. Our second template will have more variables:
int ${increment} = ${value};
y = ${increment} + ${increment};
and will expand to
When you start typing now, all occurrences of increment variable will be changed. You can then switch to the next variable by pressing TAB key. In the end, you can have
in just three key presses - one for i, one for TAB and one for 2.
To make it even better, the template system provides predefined variables, which will be expanded depending on their context. I will not list them, you can find them under the Insert variable button.
Notice, that you are not getting only a list, you are also getting a description and an usage example.
To make it clear, I will illustrate one builtin variable - ${enclosing_type}. When this one is expanded you will get a name of the class (or interface, enum) in which your template was expanded.
"But how can I use it?", I hear you asking. I have prepared few templates just for inspiration, I believe that after reading this you will find thousands others and I believe that you will create them and share them with us.
Custom templates
Open Window -> Preferences and type Templates into the search box.
You will get a list of all editors, and their respective template settings. This is because templates are closely bound to editors - you will get different builtin variables in different editors. Also note, that your list may vary from my list, it all depends on installed plugins.
Now you must decide what type of template you would like to create. If it is a Java template, which will be applicable in context of classes, interfaces and enums, then choose Java -> Editor -> Templates. If you create a Java template you won't be able to use it in XML editor, that's quite expected.
So click on the New button, to get a dialog. Here it is, in all its glory:
Name is the name of the template. Choose it well, because it will serve as a shortcut to your template. After you type the name of the template (or at least a few characters from its name) and hit CTRL+SPACE it will be expanded.
Description is what you will see next to the template name when the template name is ambiguous.
Pattern is the template body. And the Context? This varies in every editor. If you look in the combobox in Java templates, you will see Java and Javadoc. It is simple a context within the respective editor in which the template would be applicable.
Check Automatically insert if you want the template to expand automatically on ctrl-space when there is no other matching template available. It is usually good idea to leave the checkbox checked, otherwise you would get a template proposal "popup". See what happens when I uncheck it on sysout template.
If I would have checked it, it would automatically expand, as there is no other template matching sysout* pattern.
My list
So here is the list I promised. I have categorized it.Java (Java->Editor->Templates)
- logger - create new Logger
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class.getName());Notice the usage of ${enclosing_type} variable. This way you can create a logger in few hits. After the template expands, you will probably get red lines, indicating that Logger clas could not be found. Just hit CTRL + SHIFT + O to invoke the organize imports function. You are using shortcuts, aren't you?
- loglevel - log with specified level
if(${logger:var(java.util.logging.Logger)}.isLoggable(Level.${LEVEL})) {Let me explain the details. ${logger:var(java.util.logging.Logger)} uses a builtin "var" variable. It starts with logger, the default name, in case the var variable finds no match. It is then followed by var(java.util.logging.Logger), what will evaluate to the name of the variable (member or local) of the specified type (in our case of the Logger type). Further, the ${cursor} variable marks the place where the cursor will jump after you press enter. So the result after expanding could be
You might wonder what is the purpose of the if. It is there only for performance gain. If specified level is not allowed the logging method will never be called and we can spare JVM some string manipulation to build the message.
- readfile - read text from file
Never can remember how to open that pesky file and read from it? Nor can I, so I have a template for it.
BufferedReader in;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(${file_name}));
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
- dependency - maven dependency
- parent - maven parent project definition
- servlet - new servlet definition
- spring-text - spring text field with label and error
<fmt:message key="${path}"/>
<spring:input path="${path}" cssClass="${input_class}"/>
<spring:errors path="${path}"/>

- spring-checkbox
<fmt:message key="${path}"/>
<spring:checkbox path="${path}" cssClass="${input_class}"/>

- spring-select
<fmt:message key="${path}"/>
<spring:select path="${path}" cssClass="${input_class}">
<spring:options items="${items}" itemLabel="${label}" itemValue="${value}"/>
<spring:errors path="${path}"/>

- spring-generic
<fmt:message key="${path}"/>These are my favorites. They regularly save me a huge amount of time. Creating spring forms has never been easier for me.
<spring:${type} path="${path}" cssClass="${input_class}"/>
<spring:errors path="${path}"/>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
<context:component-scan base-package="" />
<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
<property name="templateLoaderPath" value="/"/>
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerView"/>
<property name="exposeSpringMacroHelpers"><value>true</value></property>

<property name="prefix" value="/pages/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".ftl"/>
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename"><value>messages</value></property>
Now, I can create new XML file from template and it will be ready to use. Before I knew about templates, I used to copy this from an older project, or search for it in Spring documentation. Now I don't have to..
If you can overcome the initial laziness and create your own templates from the pieces of code you really use, than this investment will shortly return in form of less typing. If you have some interesting templates, please, share them with us.
You can download the templates mentioned in this post and import them using the Import button in the editor template settings.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Here's my "property support" template. It creates a private member variable, setter and getter in one shot:
private ${elemType:nv} ${nv:newName(boolean)};
public ${elemType:nv} get${nv}() {
return ${nv};
public void set${nv}( ${elemType:nv} ${nv}) {
this.${nv} = ${nv};
The only problem is that it gets the CamelCase wrong. True, it's a 2-letter fix, but I would love to hear about a fix for that ;-)

Tomas: This is a great series, please keep it up. I've been using Eclipse since 2.0 and I still learn something new and valuable from each of your articles.
Now that I've seen how simple it is, I'll be setting up my beanprop template for beans that fire property change events:
private ${elemType:nv} ${nv:newName(boolean)};
public ${elemType:nv} get${nv}() {
return ${nv};
public void set${nv}( ${elemType:nv} ${nv}) {
firePropertyChange("${nv}", this.${nv}, this.${nv} = ${nv});

Eclipse JDT already has a command, under right-click -> Source -> Generate getters and setters (Alt-Shift-S, R). First you define your private fields, then invoke this command and choose which fields you want to make getters and setters for.

I have tried to put together a template for iterating through a map recently and its not perfect as there is no variable I can find in eclipse that will suggest a Map, it only suggests a collection which may or may not be a map. I would like to know if there was some way to suggest a Map but even without this is still nice. This assumes your using generics , but you could easily make one without generics for this. I was suprised this wasnt included by default along with the other for templates in eclipse. Keep the eclipse help coming - RS
for (Iterator<Map.Entry<${type},${type2}>> it = ${collection}.entrySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
Map.Entry<${type},${type2}> entry = it.next();
${type} key = entry.getKey();
${type2} value = entry.getValue();
// do something with the key and the value

Thanks Tomas , that seems to just put variableName though instead of putting the nearest map.
for (Iterator<Map.Entry<${type},${type2}>> it = ${variableName:var(java.util.Map)}.entrySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
Map.Entry<${type},${type2}> entry = it.next();
${type} key = entry.getKey();
${type2} value = entry.getValue();
// do something with the key and the value

Hre are some code templates that I use:
Jakarta Commons Logging - (which I bind to jaklog)
private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(${primary_type_name}.class);
Logger Threshold Testing - (which I bind to ifLogXXX)
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

The problem with adding a template directly under "java" is that it is too general and it will become crowded fast.
Does anybody know please how to add a new contextType to be like a sub-type of the JavaContext for a custom plugin?
The Template page does not allow adding a context directly nor through just the extension point in plugin.xml.
I tried adding in plugin.xml (of the custom plugin):
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates">
<contextType id="java1"
name="Java1 Context">
<template name="Template1"
description="..does something..">
ABC abc = new ABC();
<resolver contextTypeId="java1"
The comment for ContributionContextTypeRegistry says: ... Editor implementors will usually instantiate a registry and configure the context types available in their editor. ContextTypes can be added either directly using {@link #addContextType(TemplateContextType)} or by instantiating and adding a contributed context type using {@link #addContextType(String)}
All nice except that JavaPlugin.getDefault().getTemplateContextRegistry() is protected from the library and crashes the plugin that tries to call it.
Anybody tried to do this in some form? (i.e. set more contexts for the java editor?)

private Boolean ok = null;
How would be a template to write the following code?
variables in that code: ok, Boolean (would be Integer, Long, Date, Calendar, or other else that need transformation to write as string, in a web interface).
imports needed: import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
______public getOkAsString() {
return (ok == null) ? "" : ok.toString();
public setOkAsString(String ok) {
this.ok = (StringUtils.isBlank(ok)) ? null : new Boolean(ok);
I couldn't do:
- the differents cases for "ok" (needed Upper Case for get and set method names)
- capture type of "ok" field (Boolean, in this example).
This template would be very useful for struts users, or other web developer, since web interface works just with strings.
Sorry my poor english.

Here is another code template that I am using extensively on my current project.
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj);
public String toString() {
return ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(this);
public int hashCode() {
return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this);

public class AClass {
private String field1;
private String field2;
private Object field3;
public String toString() {
return "field1: " + field1 + ", " +
"field2: " + field2 + ", " +
"field3: " + field3 ;

I usualy used something like:
public String toString()
class FieldNameComparator implements Comparator<Field>
public int compare( Field o1, Field o2 )
if ( o1.getName() == null )
return -1;
if ( o2.getName() == null )
return 1;
return o1.getName().compareTo( o2.getName() );
final Class<${primary_type_name}> myClass = ${primary_type_name}.class;
final StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer( myClass.getName() );
//depends if You want just the local or the inherited fields too
final Field[] fields = myClass.getDeclaredFields(); //myClass.getFields( );
final List<Field> fieldList = Arrays.asList( fields );
Collections.sort( fieldList, new FieldNameComparator() );
for ( Field field : fieldList )
if ( !Modifier.isStatic( field.getModifiers() ) )
result.append( field.getName() ).append( ":" );
result.append( field.get( this ) );
catch ( final Exception e )
result.append( "ErrorAccessingField" );
result.append( "\n" );
return result.toString();

Marcel Hölscher replied on Fri, 2014/08/29 - 5:38am
thanks for the nice article!
There's a possibility to completely automate your logger template without the need of doing the necessary imports manually. Just let the template generate the needed import statements. Below is an example where i use the slf4j logging api:
${:import(org.slf4j.Logger, org.slf4j.LoggerFactory)} private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
Kind regards
