LinkedIn has over 200 million users, and college students are its fastest growing demographic.
If you aren't on LinkedIn, you should be. Launched in May 2003, this professional networking site currently has more than 200 million users, and college students are its fastest-growing demographic.
In a recent survey conducted by Bullhorn Research, 98% of responding recruiters reported that they are using the site to locate candidates. Of the Fortune 100 companies, 86 are using LinkedIn's corporate recruiting features.
Your ability to be found by these recruiters depends on the content in your profile and your search engine optimization (SEO). To locate applicants, recruiters enter words into LinkedIn's search field much like you do on Google. Many of these words are similar to the terminology you are learning in the classroom, so celebrate your inner nerd. In addition to embracing the vocabulary of your profession, implement the following tips to avoid being overlooked by recruiters and to improve your SEO.
Complete your profile. This alone will increase your chances of being found by 40%. Begin by obtaining at least 50 connections. Use the People You May Already Know tool, which is located in the upper right corner of the LinkedIn homepage. Conduct an advanced search to locate people within your preferred geographical areas, companies, titles or industries. Connect with alumni by selecting Contacts, followed by the name of your alma mater. LinkedIn will also quickly identify people you already know by importing email contacts from your address book.
In addition to generating at least 50 connections, you need to provide the following to complete your profile: your industry, location, current position (with a description), two past positions, education, at least three skills and a profile picture. To help you develop a robust profile, LinkedIn developed a Profile Strength meter that is available on the right side of your profile. You can also click on the Improve your Profile button in your headline.
Be redundant. The more keywords you include, the higher you are listed in recruiters' search results. You can identify keywords for your field by reviewing job descriptions, O*Net, trade journals, textbooks, professional association publications and other people's profile. Don't hesitate to repeat yourself. For example, include your degree in your headline, summary and education. List any relevant certifications or licenses, such as RN or CPA, in your name. If you use abbreviations in one instance, spell the term in its entirety in a different section because recruiters may enter either option into the search field.
Include a photograph. LinkedIn reports that you are seven times more likely to be found if you include it. Build a strong first impression with a professional picture. Avoid photos that include other people or are cutesy, goofy or outdated. Cartoon avatars, self-portraits and glamour shots are also inappropriate.
Craft a powerful headline. Shown immediately below your name and in most search results, your headline is prime real estate on your profile. You have no more than 120 characters to highlight your unique qualifications and to entice your viewers to keep reading. Emphasize deliverable outcomes and consider the needs of your target audience.
Even if you lack experience, you can still incorporate keywords by describing your desired position and knowledge areas. For example, if you aspire to be an accountant, consider the following example: CPA eligible with advance training in accounts receivable, reconciliations, payroll and taxation. Adding the descriptive terms increases your chances of being found if recruiters use this terminology in their online search. LinkedIn also encourages you to broadcast the position you are seeking. Consider the following example: Honors graduate with B.S. in advertising and minor in graphic design seeking professional marketing opportunity in Boston.
Carefully select your industry and location. Many recruiters use these fields to search for candidates.
Add your contact information. Recruiters cannot find you if your public profile is not visible or if your contact information is omitted.
Use anchor text for your website. If you elect to include any websites, improve your SEO by using more descriptive text instead of the generic options provided by LinkedIn. Simply select "other" and LinkedIn will permit you to customize the name.
Provide extra details and customize your profile. Do not limit experience to paid employment. Describe your participation in Greek life, athletics, honor programs, student activities, internships and service learning. LinkedIn now gives users the ability to customize their profile. You can add your interests, certifications, courses, honors and awards, languages, organizations, patents, projects, publications, test scores and volunteering. You can even customize the order of sections to ensure that you are opening with your most appealing qualifications. To place one section before another, simply select Edit Profile under Profile, and then click on the double-arrow icon at the top of the section you want to move. After you have moved it to its new space, click Done Editing.
List your relevant coursework. You may do so under Education or Courses. Course titles often relate to industry terminology and keywords.
Use multiple job titles. Consider the job titles recruiters may enter into the search field. If your position could have multiple titles (e.g., reporter, correspondent, writer, etc.), use several on your profile (e.g., reporter and correspondent) to improve your SEO.
Use the skills suggested by LinkedIn. Many recruiters use the skills section of LinkedIn to locate candidates who possess their desired qualifications. For this reason, it is best if you use the skills that LinkedIn populates in the skills box. Simply start to type a skill and select from the suggestions that appear.
You can also assess the popularity of a skill by hovering your mouse over a skill in View Mode. When a box appears, click on the text of the skill to View Skill. LinkedIn will then provide statistics on the use of the term and provide alternative words for you to consider. LinkedIn recently created Endorsements, which permits connections to affirm the skills you have chosen. The more endorsements you collect, the more likely it is that you will appear in recruiters' search results.
Finally, claim your unique URL. Add it to your resume or email signature. Be sure to include your full name in the personalized URL to enhance your SEO and to make it easier for others to remember.

All-SEC Teams Announced
The All-SEC teams were announced today. Chris Stratton won SEC Pitcher of the Year (as he should) and was selected to the 1st team. That's it. Glaring omission: Adam Frazier. Frazier was 3rd in batting average at .376 - THIRD! He was 2nd in on-base % at .484 - SECOND! 3rd in hits, 1st in walks, 1st in plate appearances. OR what about his defense? He was 1st in the SEC in assists by almost 30! Frazier got hosed, that's all I have to say before I bust a vein in my neck. Johnathon Holder was selected to the All-Freshman team and Kendall Graveman to the All-defensive team.

In high school one of the best pieces of news a class would receive was a substitute teacher was on their way. On those days every student pushed the line to see how far it could be pushed. What could you get away with? Could you sneak into or out of class, talk to your neighbor, pass notes, make fun of the teacher, and/or tell the teacher wrong information? You name it - it was tried. In some situations the classroom environment would deteriorate to the point the principal had to take over, relieving the substitute and re-establishing normal acceptable behavior.
This past Monday night the legitimate end came to the NFL's substitute teachers. The NFL has to realize the point has come when the full time officials must return to the game and take charge. If not, it would be as if the substitute teacher returns for another day. At this point nobody respects the substitute and the classroom would melt into total chaos. Similarly in the NFL - fans, players, and coaches no longer have any respect for the replacement referees.
While everyone is talking about the Monday night game, the Sunday night game wasn't much better. If you didn't watch it, you could clearly hear the crowd chanting in the fourth quarter BS over and over through the broadcast; so loudly the announcers had to address it. They mentioned it was the loudest and clearest "manure" chant they ever heard and acknowledging the lack of a seven second delay in the broadcast.
If an agreement is not reached before tomorrow night's game between the Browns and the Ravens and throughout week 4 of NFL games, any flags or missed calls during the game and the possibility of the game plunging into the total chaos, at least by fans, will be quite real.
The majority of NFL fans will continue to watch the NFL, if only to watch their team play, making the likelihood of any real boycott slim. However, what is likely to happen might be an even bigger determent to the game. The fans in attendance, which no longer hold respect for the regular rules, will begin to be even more vocal about any perceived bad officiating. Just as with a substitute teacher, once all respect is lost the next day all rules are thrown out the window. Chants of BS are only the beginning; items being thrown on the field could become a regular occurrence and with each pass game and week the escalation of rowdy behavior increases.
There are many reasons the replacement officials must go however the final card has been played and without the regular officials taking control, the real likelihood of a rowdy crowd losing control becomes a real possibility. It's time for the both the League and the Officials to make their agreement, return to the field and, like regular teacher returning, it's time to re-establish control of the game.

"It's a pretty weird situation right now. I was in Albuquerque not too long ago and both guys were there. And unfortunately Rashad got hurt and I was there when it happened. I don't know what to say. Me, I would not fight a friend but it happens sometimes that I have two friends that are fighting each other. It's kind of an awkward situation."
Apparently random white guys aren't the only thing to come between Georges St. Pierre and Rashad Evans now that "Suga" is challenging Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title later this year. Because all three fighters have an affiliation with Greg Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico, St. Pierre tells the Canadian Press he's in no "Rush" to choose sides and admits to being in a "weird situation" when it comes to the prospect of his two friends duking it out inside the Octagon. GSP says he would never fight a friend, but can he be sure a friend would never fight him? The shine from his golden belt can do a lot to hypnotize hungry welterweight contenders, but maybe not as much as the shine from a box of gold coins Dana White leaves on their doorstep. Does the Canadian have a target on his back? Or is "Jones vs. Evans" a rare exception to the rule?

Gartner today released its quarterly report on the state of the global smartphone market, largely confirming trends that were reported by IDC late last month. According to the research firm, Apple and Samsung continue to dominate the global smartphone market, with a combined market share of more than 52 percent, while third place remains up for grabs.
Samsung retained the top position in the smartphone market, with Q4 2012 sales totaling 64.5 million units, up 85.3 percent from the previous year. Apple, meanwhile, saw its sales reach 43.5 million units last quarter, up 22.6 percent from Q4 2011. This duopoly extends to the OS level, as well. Android widened its lead last quarter, with nearly 145 million units sold, of which Samsung alone comprised 42.5 percent. Overall, Google's OS commanded a staggering 69.7 percent of the market last quarter, up from the 51.3 percent it comprised in Q4 2011. Apple's iOS, by contrast, actually saw its market share drop from 23.6 percent in Q4 2011 to 20.9 percent last quarter, though it remains well ahead of other competitors.
"There is no manufacturer that can firmly lay claim to the No. 3 spot."
It's in third place where things get really interesting. Huawei's strong performance pushed it to the third spot for the first time in Gartner's report, with the Chinese manufacturer selling more than 27 million handsets in 2012, up 73.8 percent from 2011. Yet given Samsung and Apple's growing dominance, Huawei's hold on third place is tenuous, at best.
"There is no manufacturer that can firmly lay claim to the No. 3 spot in global smartphone sales," said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner. "The success of Apple and Samsung is based on the strength of their brands as much as their actual products. Their direct competitors, including those with comparable products, struggle to achieve the same brand appreciation among consumers, who, in a tough economic environment, go for cheaper products over brand."
Gartner's statistics only underscore this disparity. BlackBerry, for instance, currently sits in third place among smartphone vendors on the OS level, though with just 3.5 percent of the market, it remains far behind second place Apple, and only slightly ahead of fourth place Microsoft, which controlled 3.0 percent of the market last quarter.

Abstract—The I/O performance of applications in multiple-disk systems can be improved by overlapping disk accesses. This requires the use of appropriate prefetching and buffer management algorithms that ensure the most useful blocks are accessed and retained in the buffer. In this paper, we answer several fundamental questions on prefetching and buffer management for distributed-buffer parallel I/O systems. First, we derive and prove the optimality of an algorithm, P-min, that minimizes the number of parallel I/Os. Second, we analyze P-con, an algorithm that always matches its replacement decisions with those of the well-known demand-paged MIN algorithm. We show that P-con can become fully sequential in the worst case. Third, we investigate the behavior of on-line algorithms for multiple-disk prefetching and buffer management. We define and analyze P-lru, a parallel version of the traditional LRU buffer management algorithm. Unexpectedly, we find that the competitive ratio of P-lru is independent of the number of disks. Finally, we present the practical performance of these algorithms on randomly generated reference strings. These results confirm the conclusions derived from the analysis on worst case inputs.

Somebody should give Lindsey Graham a refresher course in late Cold War era history.
President Obama should consider boycotting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia if the Cold War-era foe gives asylum to Edward Snowden, Sen. Lindsey Graham told The Hill on Tuesday.
"I would. I would just send the Russians the most unequivocal signal I could send them," Graham (R-S.C.) said when asked about the possibility of a boycott.
"It might help, because what they're doing is outrageous," he said. "We certainly haven't reset our relationship with Russia in a positive way. At the end of the day, if they grant this guy asylum it's a breach of the rule of law as we know it and is a slap in the face to the United States."
Snowden, who has been charged with espionage for leaking details about two National Security Agency programs that collected information about U.S. telephone calls and international Internet usage, officially filed a request for temporary asylum in Russia on Tuesday. He pledged to abide by Russian President Vladimir Putin's demands that he stop leaking information that could damage the United States.
Graham is the first senator to suggest a link between the Olympics and Snowden, who has been holed up in a Moscow airport for weeks.
Other lawmakers also suggested Obama should respond sternly if Russia offers Snowden asylum, although they were more hesitant to suggest boycotting the Olympics.
"There's many things we can do, but I think the experience of canceling the Olympics the last time around wasn't very good," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a close ally of Graham's.- The Hill
It wasn't a good experience. We boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? What did it accomplish? Nothing except the Soviets retaliating by boycotting the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics deny many athletes a chance to compete in these games.
Doug at OTB who wrote- 'Indeed, it strikes me that the only people hurt by a boycott would be the American athletes who've trained all their lives for what will be, for many of them, their one chance to play at the pinnacle of their sport. Meanwhile, the U.S. will just look foolish.' I concur.

Purton Amateur Dramatic Society, which has been going for 40 years, are putting on their annual pantomime from tomorrow until Saturday at Purton Village Hall.
This year the pantomime is being directed by two of the society's younger members, Luke Stevens and Christine Saunders who are both 19.

"There will be singing, dancing, colourful costumes, special effects and fantastic scenery.
"A lot of the usual people are involved but we also have children in it, too."
The pantomime tells the story of a sailor who returns from his travels and falls in love with a princess.
The princess is captured by an evil magician and Sinbad vows to rescue her.
Sinbad will be played by Matty Hall and Yasmin will be played by Rebecca Stevens.
The pantomime, which is by Paul Reakes, will take place at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

When it comes to horsepower, we've got TONS! by Leiby's Carriage Service Crew - 3 months ago
"We are a small crew that work on a local Belgian horse farm where we drive carriages and wagons for parades, parties, weddings, sleigh rides and personal use. We wanted shirts that would make us look professional, yet allow us to be comfortable enough to work around the horses, each weighs 2,500lbs and are 7ft tall! This picture was taken this May at a Memorial Day parade in Summit Hill, PA. Two horses, Bobby and Tracey, were hitched to the antique Heisler's Milk Wagon from a local country dairy bar and the other two, Ryan and Brady, pulled the Yuengling Beer wagon - which is America's Oldest Brewery and a great source of pride in Pennsylvania! The horses are like celebrities in the parades and always bring smiles and waves from the people as we go by! Thanks to CustomInk for making it easy for us to make our crew look great!"

Rovers ace Lowe has goal aim
Updated 2:17pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers midfielder Jason Lowe has vowed to add more goals to his game next season.
Lowe was a regular in the Rovers side during the 2013/14 campaign and his long-range strike against Middlesbrough earned him the Peter White Memorial Trophy for the goal of the season.
But that remains his only goal in 123 appearances for Rovers since making his first-team debut in 2011, and he knows that statistic must improve.
"I need to add a few more goals to my game and that's what I'm going to do next year," Lowe said.
"It was nice that the one against Middlesbrough went in and it was a great feeling to get the award.
"I wanted to get off the mark soon as possible and I was working really hard to do that. I still do."
Rovers narrowly failed to make the Championship play-offs, finishing eighth in the table.
Lowe rues missing out on the top six and admits the squad can look back on a number of 'what if' moments.
"You can look back at five or six games over the season when we could have picked up more points," he said.
"For whatever reason we didn't but it was through no lack effort and caring.
"If we can touch up on the errors and mistakes we've made this year, I'm sure we'll be in good stead for next year."
The Championship's controversial new financial fair play regulations will be under discussion again today when the Football League hold their AGM in Portugal.
Several clubs including Rovers are currently in danger of facing a transfer embargo when the rules come into force in January, and there has been some support for late changes to the regulations.
Also set to be discussed at the AGM will be Greg Dyke's controversial plan for Premier League 'B teams' to play in the Football League.
Rovers managing director Derek Shaw said: "We want to help the FA where we can but I'm not a big believer in this 'B league' plan.
"We think the loan system can provide young players with terrific experience – as happened with Michael Keane."
Meanwhile, former Blackburn Rovers youngster Gavin Gunning has been released at the end of his contract by Scottish Premier League side Dundee United.

Veterans are getting special training they need to obtain jobs when they get back from service, and the Montana National Guard at Fort Harrison is helping them on the search. Joe Moeller has the details from Fort Harrison.
"When we get back from deployment we are used to being active duty and having everything scheduled out for us, so we get kind of lost on what we are supposed to do when we get back when looking for jobs." says Kayla Ross, a participating veteran. Fort Harrison in Helena hosted an employment workshop for the returning solders of the 4-95th C.C.S.B. from Kalispell who are either unemployed or underemployed. "Job seeking skills, resume building skills, training that would otherwise help them get jobs in the areas they choose to live in in Montana." explains Major Crowe, the Public Affairs Officer. These veterans who did not have employment plans in Montana, started this program before even departing from Afghanistan . "Set up video teleconferences about 7 o'clock at night, we would get on the phone with these guys talk resumes, job agencies that we can go to, places to try and find employment. " says Michael Belick. Not only does it help with resumes and job seeking training, but the creative part about this program is that it is set up to help these veterans take the skill that they learned while serving and applying them to potential career paths. "Going over heroes to hire, its like an online web site,they basically take your military skills and they transition it, into jobs that might be in common with that." continued Belick. This program helps these veterans build their portfolio, teaches them where to look for jobs, and how to ultimately get hired. "So it helps to know you don't feel as lost on who to go to, where to go to, and what kind of things employers would look for." said Kayla Ross, also a participating veteran.

Corrupt Bush DOJ Protected Oil Companies From Prosecutors Too
by Texas Nate, Mon Sep 15, 2008 at 12:19:24 PM EDT
In case you were afraid that the corrupt Bush/Alberto Gonzales Department of Justice only held back prosecutors who were investigating charges of Republican political corruption, rest easy. They were pulling out all the stops to protect oil companies too.
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said Washington overruled his request to enter the case against the Kerr-McGee Corp. A lawyer for the whistleblower said he was told that decision was made "at the highest levels" of the Justice Department, then run by former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
"I recommended strongly that we intervene," Eid said. "My view did not prevail."
Moreover, McClatchy found that the Justice Department has participated in only a handful of the 80 whistleblower cases brought against the oil industry since 1995.
When you consider that the $40 million is only from one case out of potentially dozens, we're talking about real money.
Several oil companies including Shell ($56 million)and Conoco Phillips ($97.5 million) have had to settle suits with the government for systematically underpaying royalties for petroleum pumped off federal lands. When you consider that those companies were negotiating with a complicit Bush Department of Justice its easy to imagine the total amount of money stolen from taxpayers winding up in the billions.
Drill, baby, drill, indeed.
More on those settlements in the full entry.
From the release announcing Shell's deal (US Government press release,September 28 2000) :
royalties owed on natural gas produced from federal leases, the Justice Department announced today. Today's
settlement resolves allegations that Shell systematically under reported the value of natural gas that it produced on
federal leases in the Gulf of Mexico from August 1, 1986 to December 31, 1999 and, consequently, paid less royalties
than it owed to the government.
From the release announcing Conoco Phillip's subsidiary Burlington Resources deal (US Government press release August 15, 2007:
that it underpaid royalties owed on natural gas produced from federal and Indian leases, the Justice Department
announced today. Last year, Burlington became a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips, the third largest
integrated energy company in the United States.
The settlement resolves allegations under the False Claims Act that Burlington systematically under-reported
the value of natural gas that it produced from onshore federal and Indian leases from March 1, 1988, to March 31,
2005, and consequently, paid less royalties than it owed to the United States and various Indian tribes.

Patricia Barber Trio; Monday, October 28

Kuumbwa Jazz
"…smart songs about the way we think and live." – New York Times
The street-smart metaphors and black comedy Patricia Barber uses in her lyrics have a tendency to smash gloriously against her jagged piano phrases. They are then fused back together by her sinuous and smoky alto voice, making for a truly one-of-a-kind musical experience. Her new album, Smash, features a new band and a fresh batch of compositions. An intelligent and committed songwriter, Barber tackles the familiar subjects of 'love and loss,' but with nuance and depth. Quirky, insistently independent and emotionally cool, she's attracted a dedicated following with her rigorous songwriting craft and sly, harmonically deft piano work.
From her early days of leading jazz trios in small Chicago nightclubs, from the Gold Star Sardine Bar to the legendary Green Mill, Barber has drawn extravagant accolades. These first came from fellow musicians, impressed by her unique song arrangements and svelte piano improvisations, but when she added her vocals/lyrics to the mix and started recording albums, the praise expanded to reviewers and new fans across the globe.
Perhaps more than any other jazz artist, Barber has been considered a talent in the poet's discipline. In a 2005 issue of Poetry Magazine she wrote: "I am a songwriter, which is not the same thing as a poet. Poetry is a passion, my ever-present guide and inspiration…like music, poetry is created in the mouth, in the ear, and in the air." Occupying a special place in the jazz world with her poetry-infused compositions has led the Los Angeles Times to refer to Barber as "one of the most utterly individual jazz performers to arrive on the scene in years."
With her first two albums on the Premonition label selling more than 120,000 copies, she followed them up with the epic Mythologies, released on Blue Note in 2006. Supported by a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in composition (the first ever awarded to a non-classical song Mythologies is a genre-crashing song cycle based on the writings of the ancient Roman poet Ovid). This year's Smash, her Concord Jazz debut, continues the literate lineage of her discography and finds her getting back to a more contemporary lyrical setting. Bringing this new music to the stage, Barber will be joined by her new band mates, Patrick Mulcahy on bass and Ross Pederson on drums.

Because there are a lot of games that just released that have Wi-Fi and Wiki is unreliable in this area I'm starting this list to compile all the games that have online multiplayer that people actually own and are confirmed Wi-Fi.
Please post games that you own that have Online Multiplayer NOT just Wi-Fi features. (ie Metroid Prime 3 you can send people stuff but theres no multiplayer).Code:So far these are the titles that are 100% confirmed Wi-Fi titles that I know of and have seen: Battalion Wars 2 Pokémon Battle Revolution Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (No Friend Codes uses EA Nations) Mario Strikers Charged Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
I will update this list with every post that has a confirmed game with online multiplayer for wii. If game uses a none friend code system please specify so i can add that detail.
P.S. this would be a nice sticky if it gets going good
