Cut to Warden Glynn's office, where the staff is meeting to discuss who should be let out of solitary. Claire runs down the list of inmates, complete with flashbacks to how they all got into solitary in the first place. The highly-trained recapper in me feels compelled to point out that the show tried to get away with using footage of Schillinger raping Cyril here, when they're actually punishing him for Guenzel and Winthrop. One by one, the boys are brought into the office, but none of them seem even the least bit repentant. Omar White doesn't even say a single word, just runs his face through a series of tortured expressions. Heh. Good actor, lousy character. Claire insists on keeping her personal fuck-toy locked up where she has easy access to him, and the others bicker a bit about who should be let out.
Back in solitary, Claire comes to visit Omar, and informs him that he won't be going anywhere for a while. Because nothing overtly disgusting has happened in the last ninety seconds, we're now forced to endure several shots of Omar wiping his ass after a visit to the porcelain (or, in this case, stainless steel) throne. He reports that he hasn't been feeling well lately, but Claire, who is surprisingly tolerant and egalitarian for a sexual predator, orders him to strip anyway. I immediately begin swabbing my trusty skewer with alcohol in preparation for eye removal surgery at the mere thought of a Claire/Omar sex scene, but fortunately, my vision is spared by the sight of Omar losing his lunch all over Claire's shoes. Whew. Who'd have thought I'd ever be so grateful for vomit? Especially when it's so colorful and thick. It looks like Omar's been munching on some Jackson Pollock paintings in his spare time. Claire makes him wipe her shoes clean, and then we cut to the infirmary, where Dr. Nathan admits Omar for some tests.
Back in Glynn's office, it's announced that Alvarez is being released from solitary. Alvarez promises to behave, but says he can't control what his enemies might do. So, of course, we cut to Chico Guerra, right in the middle of a fight with yet another red-shirt extra. Boy, those extras are getting frisky this week, aren't they? The fighters are pulled apart, and Guerra is shipped up to McManus's office, where he's told that Alvarez is coming back to Em City, and that any problems between them will end with Guerra himself getting shipped off to solitary. McManus now brings Alvarez into the office, and orders the two to engage in a touching, heartfelt reunion. They share a brief conversation in Spanish (Alvarez: "My cow has brown spots." Guerra: "This was funnier when Shack did it."), which is then followed by a handshake and a hug, much to the dismay of Morales, who watches from across the tier.

Something's missing. I feel like I've been tricked by some simple plot details and sad/melodramatic moments.
Soundtrack is brilliant though.
Description: Based on Michel Houellebecq's controversial novel, this movie focuses on Michael and Bruno, two very different half-brothers and their disturbed sexuality. After a chaotic childhood with a hippie mother only caring for her affairs, Michael, a molecular biologist, is more interested in genes than women, while Bruno is obsessed with his ... (more)

The Indiana Pacers are reportedly finalizing a three-year deal with free agent power forward David West, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. West will make approximately $36 million over the duration of the deal, according to Wojnarowski's report, with the third year likely being a player option.
That's not a significant raise for a player SB Nation's Tom Ziller ranked as the No. 7 free agent of the offseason, but a three-year deal for a player that will begin next season as a 33-year-old is certainly nothing to scoff at.
West was instrumental as a hard-nosed leader on the surprising Pacers this past season, but his production nearly matched the intangibles he brought to Indiana. West averaged 17 points and nearly eight rebounds in 73 starts for the Pacers this past regular season before putting together a few big games in the Pacers' run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The veteran power forward was the only significant Pacers contributor entering free agency this year, so if the deal happens as reported, it should also be looked at as a coup for Larry Bird's front office.

He wasn't torturing terrorists or saving L.A. from yet another nuclear bomb, but Kiefer Sutherland did his part to make the world a better place yesterday by snapping at a security guard who kept telling his golf cart driver to drive away, almost getting a fan run over.
Oh JACK!!!
I just adore him and glad he stepped in for the fan. Nice of him to stop and take a picture with him!
There was no "bitching out", TMZ. Kiefer is da bomb!
"Bitching out a security guard" ??? ??
I watched the tape twice. He said a couple of words quickly to one of the guys but whatever he said, the tone did not sound at all like he was upset. Oh wait. Silly me. Another non-story blown up by The Monkey Zone to sound more dramatic than it actually was.
didnt hear any bitching at all but he sure does look hot. He is always so nice to his fans. Sexy man.
no bitching out...text blowing life out of proportion as usual. Jack Bauer oughta come in and torture you. I miss 24.
Great actor and always a good guy. Love that guy.
Your head postings are so ridiculous and misleading......there was no "bitching out" here. Get real TTMZ!
Well, I think he did great, making sure that girl is safe. He is always very nice to his fans. All he said was "stop" to the driver and to the guard : "Don't tell her to do that." Not sure what did the guard tell her to do ...
Kiefer is a really decent guy!
What a nice guy to his Fans :o)
Tells off a security guard?
He said dont tell them to do that.. thats what you consider telling someone off?
Once again... TMZ blowing things up.....
Make it dramatic.... idiots.........
TMZ you again are over reacting. Keifer was an absolute gentleman.
Gotta Love the Kief! You are A.MAZ.ING!!! And looking ever so HOT, especially when you're unleashing a mini smackdown. Way to go protecting that fan! OMGHSFG!!
Kiefer is a sweetheard as always...can't wait for 24, the movie and mirrors.
Thanks TMZ for the video of Kiefer being the all around nice guy that he is. Too bad there are not more photos from the FOX event. But I do appreciate this offering. Kiefer Rocks!! :D

How to integrate PHP and C program
Hello all..
Let me put my problem in a simple way. I have written a C program, which i will keep in my server. Now i am developing a
website using PHP, so that other users can also have access to my stand alone C program.
So here i want my PHP to take input from users and bring that input and run my C program and then again take the results of
the C program back to the users using PHP(probably using the same website itself).
Please suggest me how to do it. It would be easier for me to understand if you can tell me using simple program.
For example my C program has a function that adds two numbers. The users can provide their input (the numbers) using my
website. Then PHP will somehow interact with C function and return the results to the user.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces addresses storage growth demands
Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces offers an alternative to traditional SAN storage and includes updates for virtualizing shared storage.

Storage Spaces is Microsoft's answer to storage virtualization and software-defined storage, allowing enterprise data centers running Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 to virtualize shared storage for provisioning and management.
Storage Spaces Storage Spaces relies on inexpensive disk arrays like Just a Bunch of Disks, as opposed to SAN architectures that are often proprietary and expensive. The goal is to address the growth of storage demands that new applications and services require, the proliferation of virtual endpoint devices, enormous growth in big data and the growth of cloud tasks with simpler storage resources.
Storage Spaces works with shared serial-attached SCSI (SAS) JBOD arrays, using dual-port SAS drives for redundant backplanes and multipath I/O capabilities. It also can support large capacity, low-cost conventional magnetic hard drives and solid-state drive (SSD) devices for high-performance enterprise storage tasks.
Storage Spaces virtualizes the shared storage into pools. Virtual disks (actually called storage spaces) are then provisioned from the available storage capacity of the virtualized pools. Storage can be added to the pool over time, as capacity needs change, and resulting virtual disks can be tiered, protected and managed through the Windows Storage Management API in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Windows PowerShell or through the File and Storage Services role in Server Manager.

Gameday: Phillies (47-58) vs Diamondbacks (54-51)
Posted by Jonathan Nisula, Fri, August 03, 2012 06:35 PM | Comments: 14
2012 Gameday, Posts
Philadelphia Phillies (47-58) vs Arizona Diamondbacks (54-51)
Kyle Kendrick (4-8, 4.45) vs Ian Kennedy (9-8, 4.20)
Time: 7:05 PM, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Upper 80′s/Lower 90′s, humid
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Before tonight's game, Charlie Manuel was seen being called into a meeting during media time. Shortly thereafter, Joe Blanton–tonight's scheduled starter–was not seen with the rest of the team. Then news came out of a trade that sent Blanton to the Dodgers.
So in his place on the mound tonight will be Kyle Kendrick, who currently owns MLB's longest scoreless inning streak at 21. 13 of those innings are as a starter. Still, though, his ERA this year is well above 4, and a spot start like this could mean a poor outing on such short notice. However, Kendrick has done well in situations similar to this before, so it's tough to predict how he will pitch tonight.
Opposing him will be righty Ian Kennedy, a guy who has fallen off considerably after his outstanding year last year where he finished 4th in the Cy Young Award voting. His ERA is currently 4.20 (last year it was 2.88). The last time he pitched in Philly, he gave up three runs in three innings and took the loss back in August of 2011.
Lineup: Rollins SS, Schierholtz RF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Mayberry CF, Brown LF, Frandsen 3B, Schneider C, Kendrick P
Your Gameday Beer – Orval Trappist Ale
I've said it before, monks know how to brew beers and this Belgian Pale Ale is no exception. First it hits you with a apple/pear scent then a complex taste of citrus, caramel, and earthy yeast – all in a creamy buttery consistency. Wow. I hear it goes well with Thai food, but this is certainly one you can drink alone. – By Brian

If KK can go six giving up 3 runs or less it would be a success. Almost no notice and has been doing relief work recently.

There is absolutely no chance of there being any type of bedbugs in this house. I have lived here well over 4 years and know every single tenant. Not one of my neighbors has confirmed bedbugs here. The Landlord of this building is without any doubt the best and most hands on landlord that we have ever had, she keeps the building as clean as can be. As a matter of fact, I have yet to see a single roach/ant/insect.
Anonymous on 06/29/2009
Within a month of moving in, I started getting bites. Turns out the last tenant had them and there was no sort of cleaning when they moved out.
No nearby bug reports

150 Years of History
Jacksonville has been known for its colorful history. Its foundation began during the Gold Rush flurry in the 1850's. The buildings that line California St. were in large part built before 1900 when the town was referred to as Table Rock City. Among those drawn to the area was Peter Britt. His search of gold eventually gave way to a passion to chronicle the times through his talents as a photographer.
For decades Jacksonville, which had become the county seat, flourished as the commercial and cultural center of Southern Oregon. It wasn't until 1884, when the railroad was routed through the neighboring town of Medford, did the prestige of Jacksonville begin to wane. As residents and businesses moved away to those communities along the rail lines, Jacksonville settled into a new role-that of an agricultural center.
The combination of the County Seat being moved to Medford in 1927, the Great Depression and World War II had serious economic impact on Jacksonville. But never a community to give in, residents and business leaders sought to preserve the heritage of Southern Oregon's first town. Jacksonville although no longer a boomtown, discovered a new way to lure those with the pioneer spirit, capturing it's colorful past and inviting a new generation of explorers to experience it.
In 1966, Jacksonville was designated a National Historic Landmark. Over 100 buildings in Jacksonville are on the National Register of Historic Places. With a dynamic vision of the future that simultaneously incorporates its glorious past, Jacksonville is booming once again.

Lukashenka about vote rigging: District commissions do whatever they want

The ruler spoke about electoral fraud mechanisms.
The full interview of Lukashenka with Kseniya Sobchak lasted for two hours. Only a part of it was shown on the air. Nasha Niva newspaper publishes interesting remarks that were not aired by Dozhd TV channel.
Kseniya Sobchak asked Lukashenka about the vote rigging. The ruler said how he had allegedly ordered to change the voting results and reduce the number of votes for him.
"90 percent is like people vote in Asia. We agreed that we cannot accept 90%... We won't invite people, carry out additional voting, etc. There are different methods. We discussed it. All those responsible for voting were against. They asked what to do with the ballot papers. I said do what you want, turned back and quit," he said.
The ruler also said how election commissions counted votes.
"Well, install a web-cam in the corner. He [an election commission member] stands up and counts ballots. He will count as he wants. I headed an [election] commission in my childhood, I know this technology. They count, everything seems to be okay. District commissions receive ballots from precinct commissions. They do whatever they want. In out country, in Russia, in any other country," he noted.
The two-hour interview with Lukashenkea was aired on the Russian TV channel Dozhd yesterday.

Don't know whether this is good news or not--but the website is functioning.
I did find this gem in the "Business in Palo Alto" section:
"Palo Alto's vibrant economy encourages businesses to periodically remodel or expand their buildings"
Which PA are they talking about?? Not this one. Any business that want sto remodel and/or expand has to go through the PA process--which includes the usual whining about too much traffic and having to have everyone put in their two cents worth.
The picture that goes along with this caption is a hoot also.

The interface between Cloudian and CloudStack can also enable powerful application data backup and recovery within any cloud environment.
"We have been working to create a tightly integrated system with Apache CloudStack that combines the critical cloud storage platform components with the market-leading, open source cloud orchestration and management platform," said Giorgio Propersi, Cloudian General Manager, Americas and EMEA. "We look forward to working more with the Apache CloudStack community to help further advance the development and adoption of cloud computing."

And the Oscar for most regular and efficient sleep pattern goes to…FHM! We breathe a sigh of relief, have a bit of toast and accept our imaginary Oscar, which is actually a pint of milk we doodled on.
Okay, so we didn't watch the Oscars last night, but we got out 8 hours sleep and feel great today. Got to start the day right, you know? Already had two of our five a day…there should really be an Oscar category for that. Best diet. It would be us, obviously.
So although we didn't watch the Oscars we still know everything that happened because everyone's reported on it already, which makes our job so much easier. Basically, the films wot were well good dun good and the films wot were lame didn't get non awards. You follow?
Best Actress went to Natalie Portman, who was wearing a sort of blackcurrant fruit-pastille style dress that made us go and buy some fruit pastilles for breakfast (taking us to 3/5 a day. I think.)
Minion wasn't allowed to make eye contact with 'Ms Portman'
She was in Black Swan, and if you haven't seen it, Natalie Portman is a ballet dancer who goes completely nuts and fantasises about a sexual encounter with Lily, played by Mila Kunis. But it turns out she imagined it all, because that's what drugs do to you, kids.
So a much preggers Natalie Portman picked up the award and basically thanked her family for being really nice and stuff. We were thinking about our winning speech, and we'd have to mention our dog. Black Labrador, if you were wondering.

Gabriel Spotted Eagle pleads not guilty to one count of aggravated burglary.
Court documents show, in June 2012, a mother was putting her two-year-old son to bed when she heard banging on her front door. Three people were in her home and started beating her. The mother says one stole a laptop and she recognized one as Spotted Eagle. Police officers say they saw cuts and bruises on the mother and blood spatters in the apartment.

What we are looking for is what is looking.
~St.Francis of Assisi
(via rooo)
Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it's not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened, the many concepts of enlightenment is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in the idea of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the façade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being."—Adyashanti (via bumbleful)

Ok.. So I bought a couple of the belly band things you put over your pants from Target and I'm not sure if all bands are made alike but you can totally see that my pants are unbutton lol! I guess the material of the band is thin but they all look like that.. Anyone else have this problem and does anyone recommend a good one? I'm about to be 20 weeks so I pretty much have no pants to wear. Or am I just gonna have to resort to maternity pants from now on? Thx ladies!
How do we wear pants????

i resorted to yoga pants and maternity jeans. . .they are so comfy btw :)
Posted 10/07/2012
I am 2 days shy of 20 weeks and I gave up jeans all together lol. Stretchy pants are sooo much more confortable!
Posted 10/07/2012
I would take a rubber band and loop it thru my button hole attached to the bottom so it was under control. As I grt bigger I just use bigger rubber band. Keeps it from sticking out so much
Posted 10/07/2012
Those bands are a miss for me. I tried one on and it is too uncomfortable. Who wants to walk around with unzipped pants held up by a band? I do not. Maternity jeans are comfy, but I like maternity tights from Motherhood + a skirt or a dress best.
Posted 10/07/2012
I have the same issue. I usually either sinch up my shirt on the bottom to make it less noticeable, or I tuck the two corners of my jeans under to hide them and that works pretty well.

I forgot about the rubber band thing but I still can't zip up though lol
Posted 10/07/2012
If u can still zip them a little bit using a rubber band also keeps your zipper from falling down too
Posted 10/07/2012
Otherwise I'd just leave then in zipped and pull belly band down little but further
Posted 10/07/2012
Sorry.not much help here.
I have a belly band from target and its very comfortable
I'm not a fan of maternity clothes but have been lucky enough to be able to still do up my pant and have them under my bump.
I've tend to use the belly band for when my tops start riding up my bump so it looks like I just have another top underneath.

I wore the same ones from target up until 20 weeks by then the button is so far apart for the whole so you could see through the material...time for maternity pants!

The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) will celebrate the life of Jackie Robinson with a series of events highlighted by a 42 cent donation per ticket that will benefit the Jackie Robinson Foundation and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix to help support scholarships for local students in Arizona. In addition, the team will wear Number 42 during their road game vs. the New York Yankees on April 16 to honor the legacy of the Hall of Famer and commemorate the 66th anniversary of Robinson breaking Baseball's color barrier in 1947.
The entire D-backs front office, including D-backs Manager Kirk Gibson, attended a special preview of the movie "42" yesterday as part of an all-employee outing at a local movie theater. The movie tells the story of Robinson's life and opens in theaters nationwide today.
"There has been no one with a greater impact on the game of baseball than Jackie Robinson and we are humbled to help celebrate his life," said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall, who was recently named to the Commissioner's On-Field Diversity Task Force. "It is important that we continue to tell his story to future generations of Americans and that includes our front office members and fans. Our employees relished the opportunity to see '42' and we know our fans will enjoy seeing so many of his rare baseball cards on display at Chase Field."
On April 25, the D-backs will recognize the MLB All-Star Arizona Diamondbacks Branch Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year CJ Slater and announce the formation of a scholarship program for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix. Slater will be the inaugural recipient of the scholarship in honor of Robinson. The D-backs will recognize Jackie Robinson Foundation scholars in a special pregame ceremony.
Several Jackie Robinson baseball cards from Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick's "Diamondbacks Collection" will be on display at Season Ticket Headquarters located at section 111 throughout the game for fans to take photos. In addition, game-worn jerseys from the D-backs vs. New York Yankees game on April 16, featuring the Number 42, will be available via silent auction at section 107 as well as the Insight Diamond Level and the Team Shop. Additional game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off online at dbacks.com/auction.
Tickets for the D-backs' Jackie Robinson Day celebration on April 25th are available at the Chase Field Box Office, by phone at 602.514.8400 or online at dbacks.com/tickets.

TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Sparked by a question asked on Twitter, @LL_HTTR has convinced me that Aldrick Robinson will be the surprise of the season. Robinson was called up from the practice squad by the Washington Redskins in the latter part of the 2011 season, after another team offered him a roster spot. Even though didn't get a chance to see the field last year, he does have the benefit of being indoctrinated in the system
@LL_HTTR is a Knowledgeable source, hosting a website (HTTR24-7) and a podcast, all dedicated to the Redskins. He's got connections to players and the organization. His words hold value to those who interact with him. Give him a follow: @LL_HTTR.
He talked about a 'role' the Shanahan's had planned out for Robinson this season. Mostly returning, but also making plays from the slot; eliminating the need for Brandon Banks. Also expect him to get opportunities on end-arounds, trick plays, bubble screens and deep balls. That role might not lead to a ton of statistical production (unless it's in the return game), but an exciting score can certainly change a game, beyond the six points awarded.
Terrence Austin is also batting for the kick returner/wide-out spot. He has more on-field experience than Robinson, but doesn't have that breakaway speed that you look for in a smaller, slot receiver.
The key for coach Shanahan is utilizing Aldrick Robinson's un-naturally, naturally gifted speed. The kid is lightning quick and has spent the last year developing in the Redskins system. This year he'll have a chance to produce.
Let us know what you think…

I love reading books written by friends. Knowing how incredibly hard it is to write a book, I enjoy fiction even more, since it's something I've never tried to write.
My friend Cindy Gold wrote Sailing an Alien Sea about a year ago. I read it last month and loved it.
I've known Cindy and her husband Terry Gold since 1996, shortly after I moved to Boulder. I was an early board member, then angel investor, and subsequently VC investor in Terry's company Gold Systems. Terry worked incredibly hard at Gold Systems, along with many people who worked for the company through the years. It went from an idea and a few founders to an almost $10 million revenue company, before growth peaked about a decade ago. Over the past five years, the company had a steady, but slow decline, being close to break even every year, but never becoming solidly profitable or generating additional growth. After numerous painful layoffs and several near misses to sell the company, Gold Systems finally shut down early this year. Throughout the entire process, Terry was a tireless leader who never gave up and, even after two acquisitions feel apart at the end, he still tried to find a home for the remaining employees. While my investment in Gold Systems returned $0 to me, I'll have lifelong respect for Terry and will always consider him a close friend.
Ok – that paragraph should put you in the mood for this book. Cindy is a genius writer. Her story likely has some autobiographical parts, as most first novels do. She writes the story of two teenage girls growing up in Santa Fe. They are an unlikely pair of friends and they travel down different paths as they get older. Much of the book is through the eyes of Sylvie, who is expect is channeling some of Cindy's wit, style, and personality, which is sharp and deliciously direct. This is no romanticized story of coming of age – it's complicated, challenging, often disappointing, and sometimes heartbreaking. But against this challenging backdrop, these girls are amazing. I'm not a reader of "chick lit" and this doesn't fall in that genre, but rather something I enjoy to read, which I refer to as "human fiction."
Entrepreneurship isn't easy. Relationships aren't easy. Life isn't easy. And writing a first novel is really fucking hard.
Cindy – well done. Gang, if you want some a great first novel to chew on, grab Sailing an Alien Sea.
There will be a lot of books written about the story of Twitter. As far as I know, there have now been two, but there are probably 71 more coming out soon.
Biz Stone's new book, Things a Little Bird Told Me: Confessions of the Creative Mind is outstanding.
I've read two really awesome books in the past month that combine first person startup accounts with personal philosophy and advice. Biz's is the second. Ben Horowitz's book The Hard Thing About Hard Things is the other.
Ok – enough effusiveness. There is a simple reason these two books are outstanding. They both mix the author's direct and very relevant experience with their personal philosophy and lessons learned from the experience. While moments of Ben's book are dramatic, Biz tells the story of Twitter in an understated way. He's fun and playful while covering enough of what happened so you have a feel for it. But it's not overwrought with drama.
Instead, Biz focuses on highlighting critical moments, and key experiences that he had, which help the reader understand the path of a remarkable company. I've heard most of the stories before, although a few were new to me. Biz drills into the essence of what matters and not the noise surrounding it. As a result, I felt like I could really process the experience and understand the lessons he learned, rather than be distracted by stuff around the edges.
While I don't know Biz, I immediately related to him. He drew me in. He's a guy I'd like to hang out with. Someone I'd like to know, who I'd be happy to go into battle with, or just have a long playful dinner. Basically, he's real.
If you are an entrepreneur, or a student of entrepreneurship, Things a Little Bird Told Me: Confessions of the Creative Mind is another must-read on my list.
I'm going to start doing something new on my posts. Rather than having separate posts promoting stuff I'm up to, I'm going to begin including a short header in each post with either a thing I'm involved in or something I read recently that I think is particularly germane. For now, I'll style these in italics – at some point I'll come up with some new CSS to set it apart more clearly. Feel free to offer any/all feedback on this. Today's tip is from Alex Iskold, the Techstars NY Managing Director and is 7 Calendar Tips for Startups. If you struggle with your calendar, it's highly recommended.
Last week Amy and I went to our favorite place in Cabo San Lucas for our Qx vacation. We went off the grid (no phone, no email). I ran a lot, slept a lot, and ate a lot. I watched all of Orange is the New Black and almost all of Caprica thanks to hotel WiFi and Neflix on my iPad. But most enjoyably, I read a lot. Following is a summary with links.
Is Amazon Bad For Books?: What a yummy article that gives a lot of history about what has been going on between Amazon and the traditional publishing industry. Highly relevant for a lot of our thinking around FG Press.
The Science of Battlestar Galactica: I listened to this on Audible while running. If you are a BSG fanboy like me, this is a must read.
How To Defend Against Patent Trolls Without Breaking The Bank: Ken Bressler has been super helpful in one of the more vexing and annoying patent troll cases I've been involved in. As the Supreme Court once again has a chance to do something about software patents and patent trolls, I remain cynical and pessimistic that this gigantic tax on innovation will get resolved anytime soon.
The Underwriting: More Startup Fiction – this time in a weekly serialized format. I paid for it before I left but for some reason I only had two episodes. I just paid for it a second time so hopefully they'll start coming in a steady stream. It's pretty fun – a little too much sex and investment banking for my tastes, but we'll see where it goes.
Battlestar Galactica Series Bible: The original series bible written by Ronald D. Moore. Another BSG fanboy must read.
The Secret of Raising Money: Seth Goldstein and Michael Simpson have written a really strong book on how to raise money from angels and VCs at the early stage. I've known Seth since the mid-1990′s and think he and Michael did a great job of capturing the essence of this very hard and often complex process.
Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?: I hadn't read this since it first came out a year or so after Lou Gerstner retired as IBM's CEO. This is his memoir of his experience at IBM and was a fantastic history lesson. While some of the strategic advice felt a little dated and "big corporate", there were endless gems throughout the book, including a clear view on key decisions that Gerstner made relatively early which dramatically changed IBM's downward spiral into the depths of mainframe doom. I've felt for a while that Microsoft is having its "IBM moment" that occurred for IBM in the early 1990s and to date have been uninspired with how they have approached it. I don't know Satya Nadella but I hope he's read this book.
Giving 2.0: Transform Your Giving and Our World: Amy and I plan to give away all of our money while we are alive. We've been active philanthropists since the late 1990s and are always trying to learn more. Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen's book is a wonderful combination of personal history, advice, and storytelling about what other people are doing. I was especially pleased to see a long chapter on our friends Linda Shoemaker and Steve Brett's efforts in Boulder around their philanthropy.
The Trial: I've been describing our annual fund audit process as "Kafkaesque" to whomever I talk to about it. I realized I had never read The Trial so I grinded through it. I thought I knew what I was in for, but the copy I read fortunately had a Kafka history as well as a history of The Trial with a short summary at the beginning, so it made a lot more sense as I read it. And yes, the audit experience is still something I believe is Kafkaesque. Hopefully they won't kill me like a dog at the end.
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison: I randomly watched Season 1. I figured I'd bounce after a few episodes but found myself deeply engaged in it. So I grabbed the book and read it. The book was even better than the show. Piper Kerman blew my mind – both with her experience and her writing about it. So powerful, depressing, upsetting, and enlightening, all at the same time.
Neuromancer: I read Neuromancer my in college shortly after it came it. I loved it then. I haven't read it since so I decided to listen to it my iPhone while running, just like I did earlier this year with Snow Crash. Like Snow Crash, it somehow felt richer when I listened to it during my long runs. Case, Molly, Wintermute, and the Dixie Flatline still delight, as does Gibson.
If you haven't yet bought Ben Horowitz's book The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers, go get it right now. It's one of the best books you'll ever read on entrepreneurship and being a CEO.
If you are a CEO, read this book.
If you aspire to be a CEO read this book.
If you are on a management team and want to understand what a CEO goes through, read this book.
If you are interested in entrepreneurship and want to understand it better, read this book.
On Friday, I spent the entire day with about 50 of the CEOs of companies we are investors in. Rand Fishkin of Moz put together a full day Foundry Group CEO Summit. It used a format Rand has used before. We broke up into five different groups and has sessions on about ten total topics throughout the day. The groups were fluid – people were organized by category (alpha and beta) but then went to the topic they were interested in. There was a moderator for each session – the first five minutes was each CEO putting up one "top of mind" issue in the topic, and the then balance of the session (75 minutes) was the entire group spending between 5 and 15 minutes on each topic.
It was awesome. We finished with a fun dinner at Pizzeria Locale. I drove home with my mind buzzing and arrived around 8pm to see Amy laying on the couch reading a book. So I grabbed my iPad and looked to see what was new on it.
I'd pre-ordered Ben's book so it was in slot number one. It felt fitting to start reading it.
At 10:30 I was finished with it. The Hard Thing About Hard Things was the perfect way to cap off a day with the CEOs of the companies we invest in.
Trust me on this one. Go buy The Hard Thing About Hard Things right now.
Ben – thanks for writing this and putting 100% of your heart into it.
My exploration into meditation continues. I started on February 5th when I wrote the post Learning To Meditate. Since then, I've been practicing every day, read a few books on meditation, talked to a lot of people about it, and explored several iPhone / web apps.
The impact on me has been awesome.
After talking to Jerry Colonna for a few hours about meditation on the snowy Sunday after I started, he recommended I take a look at Headspace. I signed up that night and started doing the Take10 meditations. For the first few days, I did it once a day, but then quickly starting practicing twice a day, once in the morning and once before I went to bed. Occasionally I'd toss in another session at lunch time, although sometimes I just did a silent meditation instead for 10 to 15 minutes.
After about a week I was deeply hooked. I grabbed the iPhone GetSomeHeadspace app and untethered myself from my desk. We've got a meditation room in our new house and even though it's very sparse right now (just one sitting pillow), it's a magnificent sanctuary for my meditation.
I noticed that Andy Puddicombe, the founder of Headspace, had written a book called Get Some Headspace: How Mindfulness Can Change Your Life in Ten Minutes a Day. I downloaded it and read it last night and this morning. Since I'm deep into the Headspace program, a lot of it was familiar to me. But Andy's description of his own meditation journey is fascinating, and reinforces a lot of things he guides you through in the Headspace program.
Near the end, he has a great chapter on different forms of meditation beyond sitting. He covers walking, sleeping, eating, and running. These are forms that intrigue me, especially since I run a lot, eat too fast, and am exploring different sleep patterns.
Overall, the book is a nice addition to the Headspace program. If you are intrigued about meditation, it's a fast, easy, helpful read. But there's nothing like just practicing. For that, I recommend you hop on line and try the free Headspace Take10 program.

9/30/1972 - Clemente gets 3,000th hit in final AB
In his final at-bat of the final game of the regular season, Roberto Clemente sends a pitch from the Mets' Jon Matlack to the outfield wall for a double. It was the 3,000th hit of his big league career, adding another accomplishment to one of the best resumes in baseball. Over the course of his career, Clemente won two World Series titles, 12 Gold Gloves, an MVP in both the World Series and regular season, and he made 12 All-Star teams. He was without a doubt one of the greatest players in baseball history.
"I had no idea he was sitting on 3,000," Matlack would later tell Flushing9.com. "I threw a pitch off the plate and he reached out and hit it to center. The crowd was going crazy and I didn't know why. So I looked back at the scoreboard and it read, 'Congratulations on 3,000 hits!'"
After the game, Clemente dedicated his hit to the Pittsburgh Pirates fans, the people of Puerto Rico, and Roberto Marin, his first softball coach who spotted him swinging at a tin can with a branch and took him under his wings. Clemente was the first Latino player to reach 3,000 hits, and just the 11th overall.
Sadly, Clemente's 3,000th hit was also the final at-bat of his career. Later that year, the 38 year-old Clemente died in a plane crash while trying to deliver rations to a needy country, making his 3,000th base hit all the more significant.
9/30/1992 - George Brett gets No. 3,000
George Brett of the Kansas City Royals collects the 3,000th hit of his career, accomplishing it just a few weeks after Robin Yount of the Milwaukee Brewers. Brett received a standing ovation from the road fans at Anaheim Stadium, and he was so lost in the moment that he got picked off at first base. "I was right in the middle of a sentence to (Angels first baseman Gary) Gaetti and they picked me off," Brett said. "He asked me if my wife was here and I said, yes, and I had friends here from Kansas City... He didn't even let me finish the sentence. Believe me, my mind wasn't on being picked off."
Getting to 3,000 was one of Brett's biggest accomplishments in Kansas City, though he would always be known for the infamous "Pine Tar Incident," in which he was called out on a home run for having too much pine tar on his bat. "I have that bat I used for the 3,000th hit on a wall in my basement," Brett said in 2003, "and I guarantee you it has far more pine tar on it than the one I got called out for. The 3,000th-hit bat is ugly. It's a mess. Pine tar all the way up it."

9/30/2007 - Mets complete amazin' collapse
The New York Mets get trounced 8-1 on the last day of the season, capping off the worst September collapse in the history of baseball. With 17 games to go, the Mets had led the National League East by seven games, yet they finished the season 5-12 and allowed the Philadelphia Phillies to sneak into the playoffs.
Several factors made the Mets' meltdown truly unprecedented. For one, they were the heavy favorites at the start of the season to represent the National League in the World Series; their $118 million salary was by far the highest in the NL and they had led the division since April 8th. But the Mets lost four straight home games to the Phillies in August and three straight to them in September, allowing Philadelphia to make the divisional race competitive.
The Mets finished the season with a seven-game home stand: three games against the Washington Nationals (who finished 73-89), one against the St. Louis Cardinals (78-84), and three against the Marlins Florida (71-91). All they had to do was win just two home games against those sub-.500 teams and they'd make the playoffs. They won just once.
New York still had a chance to make the playoffs on the final day of the season. Tied with Philadelphia for first place in the division, a win versus Florida would force a one-game tiebreaker. The Mets trotted out 300-game winner and future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine to face the last-place Marlins. It was a catastrophe. Glavine pitched the worst performance of his illustrious career and was pulled after only a third of an inning. The Mets' season ended before they even got the chance to bat -- after one inning it was 7-0 Florida.
In contrast, the Phillies won their final game of the year and advanced to the postseason. Mets manager Willie Randolph survived firing, however his tenure in New York wouldn't last long -- after a bad start to the 2008 season, Randolph was sacked.

I Got To Slap My Coworker In The Face! Watch It Here!

posted Jun 25 2014 7:08AM
A video called "The Slap" went viral today. Screenwriter Max Landis got a bunch of friends together and asked them to hit each other in the face. Everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit. I figured, what a great thing for me to get away with doing at work! Thanks to my coworker Mandy Morgan from "Mike And Mandy In The Morning" on our sister station WRVR for letting me hit her in the face! Enjoy!
And here's the original video!

Back on Sunday, we noted that New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul suffered a concussion against the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Thursday, the Times-Picayune reported that Paul returned to participate in the team's non-contract practice and that coach Monty Williams said Paul would undergo testing on Friday to determine whether he is ready to return to the court.
"We went through some offensive stuff and got a lot of shots, but we didn't do anything physical today," Williams said. "I just thought it would be prudent to get away from beating up on each other, and off that long road trip (last week), I just felt we needed a day to get acclimated to being at home. Today was a short day where we just walked through some things, got a ton of shots up and (Paul) participated in everything."
Williams said Paul was scheduled to undergo another neurological exam on Friday to determine whether he'd get clearance to play against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.So far, Paul has missed Monday's loss to the Chicago Bulls and a dramatic win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The Hornets next play on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. The Hornets are currently the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, with a record of 38-29, 1.5 games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies.
"The test is scheduled for Friday and after that they can make a better evaluation," said Williams.
On Wednesday, the NBA confirmed that it was considering adding a league-wide policy with regard to treating concussions, as six players in the last month have missed time due to concussions.
