RALEIGH—Republican leaders from the General Assembly responded to the governor's decision to veto the Senate bill to legalize fracking.
Senate president pro tempore Phil Berger and house speaker Tom Tillis issued the following joint statement:
The governor's latest flip-flop on shale gas exploration is an attempt to slam the brakes on the creation of a vibrant new economic sector in North Carolina. The General Assembly incorporated many of the governor's recommendations in a bipartisan plan to begin developing the regulatory framework for affordable, clean energy alternatives. We are disappointed, but not surprised, that when decision time neared, she once again caved to her liberal base rather than support the promise of more jobs for our state.

It was good seeing you at CROI, Paul. I think these are great choices and you did a great job putting them into perspective. Personally (and on the global scale) I thought the revision (and massive expansion of scope) of the WHO guidelines was a real game changer and was therefore high on my top 10 list.
BTW, I never got my prize for the winning article but that was probably just an oversight.
HIV/AIDS Editors' Choice: Top Stories of 2013
HIV/AIDS Editors' Choice: Top Stories of 2013
- Paul E. Sax, MD
A perspective on the most important research in the field from the past year
- Paul E. Sax, MD
This has been an exciting year for us, with organizational changes that are reflected in our new title: NEJM Journal Watch AIDS Clinical Care. We remain devoted to providing clinicians with the information they need to give their patients the best care — and, as part of NEJM Group, we are now poised to do that better than ever.
The biggest change in HIV treatment over the past year has been the continued emergence of integrase inhibitor–based regimens as top options for first-line therapy. This trend began with raltegravir in the late 2000s, accelerated when co-formulated tenofovir/FTC/elvitegravir/cobicistat was approved in 2012, and now has been further strengthened by the recent approval of dolutegravir. In response to accumulating research and clinical data on tenofovir/FTC/elvitegravir/cobicistat and impressive results in the phase III dolutegravir studies, the Department of Health and Human Services Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents recently issued an interim update to its "What to Start" section, which now includes both elvitegravir/cobicistat- and dolutegravir-based regimens as "preferred" options. On the prevention front, yet another candidate vaccine failed to demonstrate protective efficacy; better news emerged from a modeling analysis of HPTN 052 data, showing that early treatment of the HIV-infected partners in serodiscordant couples would at the very least be cost-effective, and may even be cost-saving. And finally, a long-awaited update to the occupational postexposure prophylaxis guidelines was released, offering clinicians a much more contemporary range of options for preventive therapy.
Our HIV/AIDS top stories of 2013 are:
Updated Recommendations on INSTI-Based Regimens for ART-Naive Patients
Occupational Postexposure Prophylaxis Guidelines, Updated
Antiretroviral PrEP for Injection-Drug Users?
Comparative Trial of Maraviroc vs. Tenofovir/FTC Halted
Early Treatment of Serodiscordant Couples Is Cost-Effective
Disappointing Results from Another HIV Vaccine Efficacy Trial
Presenting CD4-Cell Count Is Rising, but Slowly

Elton John Guests on New Alice in Chains Album
Elton John's list of unexpected collaborations just got a lot stranger. In recent years he's recorded a Christmas tune with the Killers and teamed with gay-bashing rapper Eminem -- and now the piano man has joined forces with Seattle grunge rockers Alice in Chains!
The unlikely pairing comes on the title track for Alice's upcoming album Black Gives Way to Blue, which pays homage to the band's late singer Layne Staley who died in 2002 from a drug overdose. The song's emotional message moved the piano man to join the effort.
"We were thinking about adding piano to the track and a friend suggested we call Elton," guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell said in a statement. "I remember laughing and saying, 'Yeah, I'll get right on that.' But I decided it was worth trying and wrote Elton an email explaining what that song means to us -- that it's a real, raw openhearted song for Layne. We sent him the track and got a call shortly after saying he thought it was beautiful and that he wanted to play on it.We were blown away. Elton John is a huge influence on me as a songwriter and having him on that song is an amazing honor for us."
The band joined John in Las Vegas earlier this year to record the track. "Walking into a studio and seeing the sheet music for that song on Elton's piano made it meaningful on so many different levels," said Cantrell. "The whole experience was pretty magical."
John was thrilled that band recruited him to record the song: "I've long been an admirer of Jerry Cantrell and when he asked me to play on 'Black Gives Way to Blue,' I was very flattered and couldn't resist. It was a great recording session with Alice in Chains for a beautiful song."
Black Gives Way to Blue, Alice in Chains' first studio release in 14 years, drops September 29.

BJ'S BLOG 07/19/13 "Round of Golf"
by BJ Shea
posted Jul 19 2013 9:36AM
Earlier this week, we received a text at 77999 from a Rock-A-Holic name George.
He explained that the other day his buddy invited him out for a round of golf at Chambers Bay. Half way through playing, he finds out that it wasn't free and he owed over $200!
He ended up paying for it but he still hadn't even told his wife. George was pissed off at his friend and even asked him to pay him back for it but his buddy just laughed at him.
George couldn't understand why his friend wouldn't tell him they were going somewhere that was that expensive and wanted to know if his friend owes him the money or not.
Situations like this make me feel like I really am getting older because this is simply a no brainer to me.
Whenever I am invited anywhere I always assume I am paying for my meal, ticket, or product.
I don't know if George is a newbie golfer but if he's been doing it for a while, he has to know that some courses are be expensive. Yeah, his buddy should have given him a heads up, but if he's tight on cash he should have asked.

Totally agree
BJ is absolutely right on the money with this. Whenever my friends invite me out, unless otherwise specified by them. I automatically assume that I will be paying my own way. Even if my friend treated me with free tickets to a ball game, I still try to at least offer money for the tickets, after that I'll buy a few rounds of beers. Just remember: what comes around goes around. So if someone is nice to you, return the favor.

Some area motorists may be putting children at risk by ignoring some driving laws. According to CHP Public Information Officer Heather Blancharte bus drivers are reporting area drivers violating the flashing red lights law when they are picking up or dropping off children. Officer Blancarte says when the red lights on a bus are flashing motorists are required to stop in both directions.
"If you do pass it is a moving violation, but more importantly, there could be a last minute child trying to cross the street even after you've seen all of the children cross, there might be a late child crossing and it would be a terrible tragedy to have an injury to a child."
A check with the Superior Court shows the fine for passing a school bus while running the red lights is six hundred and nineteen dollars. Officer Blancarte says the violation is also considered a moving violation and a point will go against the person's license.

The biggest problems with Vanguard lies in its graphics and overall length. It takes only six to eight hours to complete the game on normal, and graphically the game looks like it's seen some serious battle. The visuals are strictly PS2, and not the good God of War kind. The game is incredibly dark - so much that we had to turn the brightness up on our TV. The muzzle flashes and explosions are not the best seen on the console. The best way to describe it is dull. Not horrible, not amazing, but dull.
As for multiplayer, it's all pretty standard fare: regular and team deathmatch, capture the flag and king of the hill (think stand by the flag). The only new mode is Scavenger Hunt where you pick up supplies and deliver them untill you reach your goal. All in all, EA's newest attempt to get us to enlist in WWII again is more of the same with a few new bullets in the clip. The game isn't FUBAR - indeed it is fun, but it may not be worth re-enlisting in an 8 hour tour of duty for $50.

Microsoft has added a "standards [in]compatibility list" to Internet Explorer 8. The purpose of the list will be such that when a user visits one of the sites IE8 will automatically switch to "IE7 compatibility mode" (or something to that effect) to render the page. Frequently noted is that "microsoft.com" itself is on the incompatibility list.
Also in Internet Explorer-related news, an exceptionally large list of frequently visited news sites in Norway have begun to display notices to IE6 users that they should upgrade to a newer browser, some even suggesting alternatives to Internet Explorer altogether.

Allspice (Pimenta dioica) is the dried, unripe fruit of a small, evergreen shrub that looks like a bay laurel. Native to Jamaica, it is now grown in Central America and Hawaii and figures heavily into the cuisine of the Caribbean. Allspice was discovered by Christopher Columbus and named by his doctor, Diego Álvarez Chanca.
While nearly every part of the allspice tree are used where it is grown (the leaves are used as like bay leaves, the wood is used to smoke meat), the dried fruit is the only part typically exported. A liqueur is made from a maceration of allspice berries called Allspice Dram (or Pimiento Dram), which has recently been reintroduced to the American market.
Allspice is a hard, brown fruit that looks like a smooth, enlarged peppercorn. It smells sweet and spicy -- like a combination of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It is an important part of Caribbean and Palestinian savory cooking, as well as desserts in England and the United States.

~ Robert A. Heinlein
Old-fashioned Olfaction
I'm sitting in my closed office as the room fills with the scent of store-brand Bengay. The aroma is a cross between Pepto-Bismol and the big thick, pink Canadian mints that my father would buy when I was a boy.
The smell is neither unfamiliar nor entirely unpleasant. I remember watching television as a kid and popping the mints in to my mouth until my stomach churned and every burp was wrapped in a fresh wintergreen bubble. Each release of gas would relieve the pressure just enough to permit another mint in to fill the space until all that was left was crumbs. Even those, though, weren't safe from a wet finger tracing the bottom of the bag until every piece of bright, pink dust was collected and consumed.
My sense of smell has always been able to transport me through time without warning. One waft of apple blossoms and I'm climbing the trees in my grandparent's back yard; the smell of lilacs has me standing on their front porch. The salty smell of the ocean takes me to every summer spent at the beach, crabbing and fishing. Even the pungent, lingering stink of the Drakkar Noir that I bathed in in high school places me firmly in my seat in 12th grade English class as I stared affectionately at my teacher as she explained Shakespeare in a way that could only be symbolic of our love that only existed in my dreams.
There is no controlling where the journey takes me. There is no way to turn off the destinations that lead to pain or sadness. The smell of a hospital brings me back to the last few times that I saw my sister. The smell of vodka has me sitting on my kitchen floor during darker days.
But even those places, as unforgiving or desperate as they might seem, eventually send me back to the present. The good memories and the bad both remind me to be grateful, and humble, and to appreciate where I am, what I have, and who is around me. Because eventually, these things, too, will be memories that I will want to someday revisit the same way, with familiar scents taking me back to my past.
So, I take my time, and I smell the roses.
Adding Value Through Subtraction
A few years ago, I found simplicity and went through The Great Purge, eliminating more than half of my material things. My initial motivation was a combination of disgust over my consumerist lifestyle that gave my stuff with no contentment combined with my Catholic guilt for having so much stuff when so many people have nothing. Like so many others have expressed, it felt good to get rid of the junk, to eliminate the clutter, and to stop buying things just to have them or because someone else had them.
When I had less stuff, it was easier to see what was left, which was usually a combination of must-haves, sentimental items, and the really important stuff. It was easier to draw pleasure from these items because they had made they cut…because they were important.
After releasing the bonds of the physical items, the next stage was for me to focus on how I spent my time. I cut down on my television watching. I dropped projects that wasted my time. I started removing things that took my time but did not feed my soul or that did not contribute to the life I wanted to live. Those things that made the cut did so, again, because they were important.
By removing everything else, it made what was left, what was important, richer, more valuable, and more meaningful in my life.
This exercise of subtraction, of removing things that simply exist to take up space or time, is a hard exercise in a world where so much is defined and valued by addition. The more you have, the more you are worth. The more you do, the more valuable you are. Most people keep adding more because it is expected, and because they don't know what else to do. But the more you add, the more stuff, the more noise, the less attention can be paid to any one thing, and the less value can be gleaned from the things that are truly important.
The easiest way to be present and to experience and enjoy what is important and to increase its value and its impact on your life is to start subtracting everything else.

Dealing with cancer is tough enough, especially when the signs are obvious.
Many patients lose their hair and that's where a group of talented students come in. Students from the Tennessee School of Beauty.
Stacy Hall with the American Cancer Society says, "Nowadays when you're diagnosed with cancer, you go to work and church and family functions. And with the holidays coming up it's important you look good. And when you look good you feel better."
They volunteer time in the American Cancer Society's Wig Bank.
Taylor Raby says, "We fit the patient with a suitable wig that is a good color and style for them. If it needs any adjustments - trimming or thinned out. Some of the wigs have a lot of hair and we help them get suited so they leave happy."
Courtney Springer says, "It makes me happy when we leave here knowing we helped someone who has already gone through so much."
Hall praised the volunteers says, "They help a lot. We work at ACS, and we're not professional cosmetologists or beauticians. It's like a salon!"
Cancer patients can come to the wig room at ACS Monday - Friday. But it's Thursday when the students are here working one on one with those special clients."
"They (clients) come in sometimes not sure what they are going to find but walk out with a smile and they're very satisfied."
Taylor says "Coming here and having them hug us and we've cried with them. It's very rewarding and I enjoy doing it."
The wigs are provided by Pantene.

The AD5532 is a 32-channel bipolar voltage-output 14-bit DAC with an additional infinite sample-and-hold mode. The selected DAC register is written to via the SPI serial interface and VOUT for this DAC is then updated to reflect the new contents of the DAC register. DAC selection is accomplished via address bits A0-A4. The output voltage range is determined by the offset voltage at the OFFS_IN pin and the gain of the output amplifier. It is restricted to a range from VSS+2V to VDD-2V because of the headroom of the output amplifier.
The device is operated with AVCC = +5V±5%, DVCC= 2.7V to 5.25V, VSS = -4.75V to -16.5V and VDD = 8V to 16.5V and requires a stable +3V reference on REF_IN as well as an offset voltage on OFFS_IN. It is available in a 74-lead 12mm x 12mm CSPBGA package.
Also available is the AD5533, which is specified in the sample and hold mode only and is the same part but without the DAC mode of operation.

Great Tips Which Can Help You With Asthma
- Filed under Arrange
If you or one of your family members is an asthmatic, it is key to keep your home clean and dust free, in order to help prevent asthma attacks. To keep allergens contained in the home, make sure you vacuum often. If you do not have a vacuuming system that blows the particles outside of your home, you should invest in a good vacuum that has an airtight container to trap in the irritating particles.
Join a support group, online or in "real life", to find help from your peers. Asthma, particularly if it is severe, can incapacitate you and keep you from going about your daily activities. Also, other asthma sufferers can alert you to scientific breakthroughs and changes, such as new medications. If the food you're making creates smoke, open the window around an asthma sufferer. This type of smoke will create a breathing condition that is likely to facilitate asthma symptoms. If opening the window and having your ventilation running still isn't enough, you can always step outside until the smoke clears. Get a flu shot every season and make sure your family does as well. It is a good idea to avoid all respiratory infections when you have asthma. Making sure to consistently wash your hands, and getting the proper vaccinations are two standard precautions.
Asthma is an uncurable disease, but that doesn't mean that the symptoms are permanent and can't go away. However, just like most things in life, overcoming your asthma symptoms takes time and effort. If you follow these easy tips, you'll find that your symptoms will get better over time and you'll be able to enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.
A lot of people that live with asthma are living with some pain that they don't know they can alleviate. The truth is there are ways to help relieve you from some of the pain and stress that comes with asthma, this article goes over some key tips you can learn to help you out.

Interview with Eric Ries: Lean Startups, New York Entrepreneurs, and Why He Wrote a Book
If you're in the startup scene, you've likely read his blog, seen him speak, or met him at a Lean Startup meetup. Eric Ries is one of the most prolific blog writers of entrepreneurial interests, and he's adding to his long list of accomplishments by coming out with a book this September.
We recently interviewed Eric Ries about his upcoming keynote address at Web 2.0 Expo New York this October, the New York startup scene, and his book (which comes out September 13). In part two of our interview, we discuss how the Lean Startup movement has grown, what he's learned, the Startup Visa Act, and the Startup America Partnership.
You can read the interview, which has been edited for length and clarity, below.
Kaitlin Pike: Since Web 2.0 Expo is taking place in New York… How is the startup scene looking in New York compared to Silicon Valley?
Eric Ries: You know, I get that question a lot and I actually just did a brief piece for "The New York Times" about it. We did a Room for Debate series where they had me and Fred Wilson and David Tisch and a bunch of people talking about what it will take for New York to rival the Valley.
But I feel like that whole paradigm is really misguided because it's not like there's a fixed pool of talent or really good ideas or really any other resource we're in competition for. It's just a question of what's the most nurturing and conducive environment to be in. And, you know, I think what's happening in New York is exciting.
I think there's been a great startup renaissance, but you don't really know with entrepreneurship because it's such a boom and bust, summer and winter phenomenon. You know, winter is coming, and we're in summer right now. And we won't really know what's real and what's just hype until after the next winter. After the dot com bust, a lot of excitement that was happening in New York went bye-bye.
And I hope that the people who are the real proponents of this renewed scene are preparing themselves for the winter to come.
Pike: Is that a Game of Thrones reference?
Ries: It is.
Pike: That was delightfully nerdy. Thank you.
Ries: No problem. My pleasure. Any time.
Pike: As another keynote speaker we have Rachel Sterne, New York City's Chief Digital Officer. What would you ask her – or the City of New York – to do to make it easier for entrepreneurs? Or maybe not necessarily easier, but to create a better environment?
Ries: That's a really interesting question because as a matter of public policy I think one of the most important things that any government can be doing is nurturing entrepreneurship.
But the challenge is that entrepreneurs generally don't need big, expensive infrastructure projects. What they need are kind of softer things that are a little bit harder to quantify and yet are really important.
So if you look at the academic research on what caused Silicon Valley to be successful in the first place and what maintains its vibrancy, the research is actually very clear. It's not research universities and venture capital dollars, although those are of course important and New York also has an abundance.
It's really the cultural factors. Things like having a tolerance for and embracing failure. Celebrating the risk-taking of entrepreneurship and making sure that if someone decides to take that step it doesn't have dire personal, professional consequences. And it has to do with having a culture that celebrates a decentralized approach to company foundation.
So instead of having a few big mega-corps that we give tax breaks and infrastructure benefits to, try to keep things stable. In Silicon Valley we celebrate the fact that they've got a zillion little companies… people are constantly leaving one job and joining another company.
And we have the kind of legal framework that makes that doable. For example, one important difference is in California no matter what kind of employment agreement you sign, most forms of non-compete and really onerous trade secret agreements are non-enforceable in California.
So if you're working on a cool new idea in your own time without using any company resources, your employer can't lay claim to that same invention, and therefore you're free to incubate something on the side and then go pursue it as a company.
In Silicon Valley we don't tend to sue each other about that. We actually tend to see companies like Google acquiring those companies for a lot of money after their former employees do cool things. And that's part of the way we cycle money into the system. And my understanding is that in New York that same legal structure is not in place.
So the policy things are like that: They're small, detailed things. They don't make the headlines. They're not super exciting except to the actual innovators who want to take those kinds of risks.
Pike: We tend to think of New York as being home to larger companies, enterprise-size versus the startup scene. With that in mind, how can this enterprise world – larger companies – use the Lean Startup approach for their companies?
Ries: One of the exciting things that's happening in this entrepreneurial renaissance is that for the first time, I think the first time in history, entrepreneurship is now a career that you can embark on.
So for a young person contemplating what their career is going to be, one of the things they can say is "I'd like to have a career in entrepreneurship."
And that career doesn't mean that you'll always be founding small companies. In fact, many of the best entrepreneur's today are working inside big companies and I think that if enterprises want to take advantage of that capacity, they don't have to go scouting out to find the best entrepreneurial talent.
They probably have a lot those people already working for them, who are currently being stifled in their efforts to do something innovative inside companies. So I think in today's economic climate, entrepreneur should be considered a job title that you can have on your business card. That's something that you can do whether you're working in a three person startup or a three person team inside a larger company.
And if companies want to support that, it'll require more than just business cards. They have to create a supporting infrastructure to give those internal entrepreneurs what we call platforms for experimentation.
So one is the concept that I talk a lot about in the book … which is to see it as the job of senior management to create the tools that employees used to run experiments, to test new ideas, to discover what customers actually want instead of pushing that responsibility down onto employees themselves.

Pike: As you had just mentioned, you're coming out with a book. You already have a very successful blog and speaking engagements, so why a book?
Ries: That's a great question. I've asked myself that question many times over the past two years. My mission as I've come to understand it in doing this Lean Startup thing is to stop this incredible waste of people's time, energy, passion and talent. Here's what I mean. If you ask most people who work, almost any job, especially jobs in some of the world's largest companies, ask them whether they really believe that the project that their currently working on is actually going make a difference to anybody except their boss… my experience has been a surprising number of people answer with a clear "no." Yet somehow deep down in their heart they know that the project they're working on is either doomed from the start. They're building something that nobody wants. They're doing a project using the wrong method. They're going to be spending years developing something and then hoping for the best.
Or… they will admit they have absolutely no idea if what they're working on makes any sense at all. And we've kind of taken that for granted. That's kind of what it means be living in uncertain times: That we face a very risky business climate. And there's basically nothing we can do about it.
And I think that that belief is fundamentally wrong. That if we're willing to change our mindset about how we approach innovation, we can make those projects much more likely to succeed.
The problem is not the kind of people who read entrepreneurship blogs – the really scrappy entrepreneur in Silicon Valley or in New York, people who are building this new startup scene. Those are people who have been hungry for new ideas about entrepreneurship and have been really rabid, early adopters of this idea and many others.
The problem is in people who don't even think of themselves as entrepreneurs. They are people who are managers of big companies, but also managers of startups outside of the really hot innovation hub.
Some of the fiercest critics that I've encountered in my travels are people who run what you think of as traditional small businesses. They still fundamentally believe in the power of a good business plan to lead to success, despite all the evidence of the contrary. But we still have this deep belief as humans, that if we just plan well… we can stay in control of our future.
So there's all those people. And then there are the people who hold them accountable. All the investors from private equity firms, VC firms, but also corporate CFO's and frankly thousands of investors and entrepreneurs, all of whom are trying to figure out is this new, bold, visionary, crazy or brilliant? Is this thing on the brink of incredible success or hopelessly doomed?
And right now we don't have good tools as a management culture for figuring out if the entrepreneurs are actually making progress or just stuck in the mud. And so I believe that the Lean Startup movement has something to say to all of those questions, that we actually can create what I think of as a new accounting paradigm to figure out whether new ventures are making process or not and do what we call the pivot if we discover that we're not making progress.
If I want to get those ideas into the heads of the people who are causing the problem, who need that information most, blogging is not going to get it done because like I said, those people are not reading entrepreneurship blogs. And still today we live in a media environment where the way you change scenarios, the way you introduce a new idea into that mainstream culture, is still through books.
Pike: How did you use the Lean Startup approach to write your book? Or did you?
Ries: Oh, I certainly did. And it made many people in publishing deeply uncomfortable. It led to some quite hysterical moments.
Let me just say that publishing is going through its own set of disruptions. I think the people who are in the trenches trying to figure it out are really dealing with a very difficult situation. You know, there were two strands to using the Lean Startup method for the book and I wanted to use both of them.
The first is figuring out not just how the book should be marketed, but really at a deep level how it should be positioned. So what is it about the book that people will find resonant? And that includes everything from how much the book should cost to what it should be titled, subtitled, what the cover should look like, what the marketing method should look like, what my author photo should look like.
I mean, every detail about how the book is presented to an audience are things that can be empirically tested. So unlike the standards for publishing, this book comes out this coming September, and we have been pre-selling copies since last September. So for more than a year, this book has been available for preorder, way before the book was on Amazon, way before we even knew how much the book is going to cost.
We have had early adopters buying copies knowing that they're probably overpaying dramatically for what the cost should be and trying to figure out ways to make it worth people's wallet to preorder, not just as a way of selling copies, although that's something great, but to give us a data set of people who we can then run experiments on. And of course, part of the deal I have with my early adopters is… everyone who preorders gets to go behind the curtain and see all the experiments we've run and see what experiments we're running on them at the time that they bought. So that's been one strand. And then the second strand is really about the content itself. So, test readers and surveys and workshopping the material and getting a lot of feedback.
Once we make the right pitch to people to get them to give us a try, how can we fine tune the content to really make sure that people understand it, can digest it, and more importantly make the change in their own behavior that we're trying to get towards?
Pike: What trends are you noticing that you think are most interesting about these pre-orders?
Ries: I'm an engineer by training so marketing is not something that comes naturally to me. And when I think about ways to market the book, I have a natural engineer's inclination to think that if some is good, more is better. And so bigger is better, more, more, more, add features, add features, add features.
And that's a classic mistake that a lot of engineers make. Well I made the same. I had the same preconception coming in for the marketing of the book. I thought if we're going to get people to preorder we need to give them really exciting incentives to do so. And so we've done two really big bundle preorders where basically if you buy the book you get tons of other goodies all at the same time.
You get a huge bundle of stuff all for one low price. And the first one we did was very successful. It sold thousands of copies. And it's basically, you buy the book… [and you get] maybe five hundred dollars or one thousand dollars worth of stuff that we had gotten from partners who were all excited to be part of the book launch. We thought, "Boy if that was successful, let's do something even bigger."
And so at South by Southwest this year we went absolutely nuts. We had a full day track at South by. We had a complete conference that we put on all day. And then we had this huge bundle that if you bought it you got five thousand, six thousand dollars worth of services and products all included in the bundle for one price.
And then that purchase entry was your entry into a contest so you could build something with all those tools in order to try to win this contest and the contest had incredible prizes including more than $100,000 of investment from different VCs who were all excited to be part of it, but who also got thousands of dollars in hosting credits. I remember we gave away a Microsoft Xbox Connect and just every kind of prize you can possibly imagine.
People got to come out to Silicon Valley and get spots in different incubators. Get time with mentors, I mean, it was just a huge project to do this massive thing. All because here I am saying that bigger is better. It was way more work than the first bundle, and I'm sad to report it sold the exact same number of copies as the first one.
It was probably ten times more work and a hundred times more value in terms of the total prizes. I mean we're giving away more than $100,000 worth of stuff. I was really shocked by it. I was just so sure that that was going to work because I thought that in order to get people to promote it what we really needed to do is make it worth their while, sweeten the deal.
And I completely missed what I learned in the wake of that especially talking to a lot of people about it and trying some other experiments. That we had actually neglected to do the really simple thing, of just asking people to be part of this movement and have a chance to preorder the book and explain why we wanted them to preorder the book.
And so we did a third experiment which cost us exactly zero dollars, which really just makes the case to the people who've been in the movement, who have been the fervent supporters of this from the beginning, saying "Listen, if you pre-order this book you will help it debut as a best seller. You will help it get into the hands of those very people I was talking about a minute ago who really need this message."
And we did that experiment about a month ago and the book went to number three on Amazon overall just behind two SKUs of course from George R. R. Martin because his book was about to come out at the time.
It was so interesting because if you look at those three experiments, one was much cheaper, much easier, much more effective than the other two, and yet it took us doing all that experimentation to figure it out. If we had just had blog posts at the beginning, I don't think we would have been able to pitch it right, and so I think it would have been a big failure.
Pike: I feel like I should do a follow up blog called the Fat Marketing Approach and talk about your situation.
Ries: That's right.

This class is for those people who are interested in learning the basics of architecture and urban design. It is an introduction to basic theoretical and practical tools of spatial operation in different scales as well as architectural representation techniques. It will show the students broad, abstract form-making procedures and elements down to the specificity of the urban context. The class is structured in two sessions consisting of 2 hours each: The first one covers brief and diverse lectures (think tank) and the second is a workshop (do-tank). The aim is that at the end of the two session class, students will have a better understanding of basic elements of architecture and urban design, and will be equipped with a set of introductory tools to operate in space
419 Park Ave South Second floor
New York, NY
The first session (Thursday) will conceptually introduce the primary elements of form like: point (1D), plane (2D) and volume (3D). Then we will show how those elements are related to the built environment (city, buildings) and the arts by giving specific examples and demonstrating the relational logic behind them. The second hour we will teach representational techniques, how to draw a section, a plan, a perspective and model making. At the end we would give an assignment for the weekend which will be due on the next session
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDTAdd to Cal
419 Park Ave South Second floor

Jawbone admits flaws with UP band, offers customers full refunds
We liked the look of Jawbone's UP fitness wristband when we first heard about it back in July, but its commercial release has been marred with numerous reports of defective units. Jawbone has now come forward with an apology and an explanation, and they've promised to do what it takes to make things right.
The Jawbone UP sits on your wrist and tracks your footsteps kinda like a pedometer. It can tell when you haven't been active in a while and will gently vibrate to remind you to get up and do something, and at night, it tracks your sleep and can be programmed to wake you up at the ideal time in your sleep cycle. Plus, it'll sync with your iPhone, allowing you to track your fitness and calories and do all that social networking stuff.
Or at least, that's what it's supposed to do. When it's functioning. Problem is, some UP wristbands die within about a week of turning them on for the first time. And by some, we mean lots. On Amazon, for example, reviews average two out of five stars, largely because it's hard to write a good review when your $150 fitness wristband doesn't actually work.
Jawbone, to their credit, has been trying to figure out just what the heck is going on here, and in an email sent today to customers, they've apologized and explained what they think the problem is:
"We've found an issue with two specific capacitors in the power system that affects the ability to hold a charge in some of our bands. We're also fixing an issue with syncing related to the band hardware. Typically, these issues surface within the first seven to ten days of use. The glitches are purely performance related and do not pose any safety risk."
Until they get these issues resolved, Jawbone has decided to cancel pending orders and stop shipping out UP wristbands, which is probably a good move. Meantime, if you have an UP band and it's not working out for you, Jawbone will be happy to exchange it. Or they'll give you a full refund. Heck, even if you're perfectly happy with your UP band, Jawbone is still willing to give you a refund. That's right, they've instituted a totally unconditional, no-questions-asked refund policy and you don't even have to return the product. This applies for everyone who's already bought the band, and also applies for everyone who decides to buy one between tomorrow and December 31st. Of 2012.
The Jawbone UP has some issues right now, no doubt about that. But what's going to save it is Jawbone's willingness to own up to what's going on, unreservedly apologize, keep their customers informed, and go above and beyond (way above and beyond) to make things right.

Lechal Footwear Guides You to Your Destination: Head on Your Heels
May 1st, 2014
A couple of years ago we saw a pair of shoes with built-in navigation capabilities. That was a one-off, but it looks like you'll be able to buy something similar to that in the near future. A company called Ducere Technologies claims that it's working on Lechal, a pair of shoes as well as insoles that can guide its wearer through haptic feedback.
Both the shoes and the insoles have a removable Bluetooth module that works with a mobile device and a complementary app. You'll set your destination on the app, and the corresponding shoe will vibrate to indicate which direction you should take.
I expect the final product will have a click-the-heels gesture to point you home. You can sign up on the Lechal website to be notified when pre-orders begin.

|Timothy David Olyphant
May 20, 1968
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
|Actor Producer
|Years active
AlexisKnief (m. 1991)
Timothy David Olyphant (born May 20, 1968) is an American actor. He is best known for his television work as Sheriff Seth Bullock in Deadwood (2004–2006), and Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in the series Justified (2010–present). He has also starred in the films Scream 2 (1997), Go (1999), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000), Dreamcatcher (2003), The Girl Next Door (2004), Live Free or Die Hard/Die Hard 4.0 (2007), Hitman (2007), A Perfect Getaway (2009), The Crazies (2010), I Am Number Four (2011), and Rango (2011).
Early life[edit]
Olyphant was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Katherine Lyon (Gideon) and John Vernon Bevan Olyphant.[1] His father was a college teacher who worked for a winery.[2][3] Olyphant is the name of a Highland Scottish Clan. He has Russian Jewish (from a maternal great-grandfather), English, German, Scottish, Dutch, and Irish ancestry,[4] and is a descendent of industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt through Emily Thorn Vanderbilt. His paternal grandmother was the sister of music producer John Hammond.[4] Olyphant was raised in Modesto, California,[5][6] and began competitive swimming at the age of 6. At high school, Olyphant started training seriously under swim coach Darrell Lohrke, who came to Modesto via Arden Hills Swimming and Tennis Club. Olyphant became a nationally ranked swimmer. He graduated from Modesto's Fred C. Beyer High School that year.[7]
Olyphant continued swimming competitively at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he studied fine art. He took a beginning acting class as an elective at UC Irvine in order to fulfill the final credits he needed to graduate from USC. Olyphant then decided to move to New York City to study acting rather than pursue a master's degree in fine arts. He took acting classes with William Esper at William Esper Studio for two years, and then started looking for acting work.[8]
Olyphant made his professional off-Broadway debut in 1995 in the Playwrights Horizons' production of The Monogamist in the role of Tim Hapgood. He received the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance for his performance.[9] He subsequently appeared in the one-man play The SantaLand Diaries in 1996, which was written by David Sedaris and adapted and directed by Joe Mantello,[10] and in the play Plunge.
Olyphant returned to Los Angeles and found work in television. In 1995 he landed his first TV role in a pilot for a remake of the series 77 Sunset Strip, produced by Clint Eastwood. He was cast in the pilot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1996), a short-lived CBS spy series, as Scooby, Mr. Smith's (Scott Bakula's) assistant.[11] Olyphant appeared in 3 episodes of the acclaimed police drama High Incident and in the 1997 Hallmark Channel TV film Ellen Foster. A role in the HBO movie When Trumpets Fade was next in 1998, which was a dramatization of the 1944 Battle of Hürtgen Forest. This was followed by a guest starring role in the Sex and the City episode "Valley of the Twenty Something Guys" as one of Carrie Bradshaw's boyfriends.
Olyphant made his feature film debut with a small part in The First Wives Club (1996). He appeared briefly in A Life Less Ordinary (1997), which starred Ewan McGregor, but gained notice appearing in the horror film Scream 2 (1997), as a cynical film student, Mickey. He portrayed the drug dealer Todd Gaines in the comedy-drama Go (1999), directed by Doug Liman, which also starred Katie Holmes, Scott Wolf and Sarah Polley, and featured a script by first time screenwriter John August.[6] His next film roles were in Advice from a Caterpillar (1999), No Vacancy (1999), The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000) and Gone in 60 Seconds (2000).
He had roles in Rock Star (2001) and Dreamcatcher (2003). In 2004 he played a porn film producer in The Girl Next Door alongside Emile Hirsch and Elisha Cuthbert.
Olyphant played the lead role of Sheriff Seth Bullock in HBO's Deadwood for three seasons from 2004 until 2006. Olyphant considered it to be one of his first lead roles as a "complicated" and "complex" character.[12]
In January 2007, Olyphant appeared in the comedy Catch and Release, playing the love interest of Jennifer Garner. Olyphant was cast in the role over several other known actors, including Matthew Fox.[13] Olyphant had studied acting with Garner when he first moved to New York.[5] He next appeared in Live Free or Die Hard as cyber-terrorist villain Thomas Gabriel, and in Hitman as the title character. Olyphant shaved his head for his role in Hitman. His 2008 roles included Stop-Loss, about the Iraq War in which he played a Lieutenant Colonel, Meet Bill, a comedy co-starring Aaron Eckhart and Jessica Alba, and a voice-acting role in videogame Turok as Cowboy.
Olyphant served as the daily on-air, unpaid sports commentator for Joe Escalante's morning show on the LA radio station Indie 103.1, until the channel's demise in January 2009.
In June 2008, he joined the cast of FX's show Damages, starring Glenn Close. He was also cast at the same time in the Christina Applegate sitcom Samantha Who? but his part was recast with Billy Zane.[14] In 2009, he starred with Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich in the thriller A Perfect Getaway as an Iraq war veteran and possible serial killer of honeymooners on the Hawaii islands. In 2010, he was featured in the lead role of the town sheriff in the remake of the film The Crazies.
In the spring of 2010, Olyphant landed the lead role of Raylan Givens in the FX series Justified. His character is a 21st-century U.S. Marshal who is sent back to his home state of Kentucky for a 'justified', but questionable, shooting of a criminal in Miami. Givens wears a Stetson hat and behaves like an old West sheriff. The show is based on a character created by Elmore Leonard in the novels Pronto and Riding the Rap, and the short story "Fire in the Hole," which served as the basis for the pilot. The same year Olyphant played a paper salesman in two episodes of the seventh season of the NBC comedy The Office. He returned to the role for Steve Carell's penultimate episode, but his scenes were cut. However, they can be seen on the Season 7 DVD. Olyphant's most recent film role was in the 2011 animated feature Rango as the voice of Spirit of the West.
Personal life[edit]
Olyphant lives in Westwood, Los Angeles, with his wife and their three children. His first child, daughter Grace Katherine, was born in 1999 followed by son Henry and daughter Vivian. The couple were married in July 1991.[5]

A young lady with no family and little concern for her direction in life visits an employment agency looking for a job. Apparently she has learned to simply roll with the flow of life and she is willing to take any job and go anywhere without applying much thought. On the application she fills out, where it asks for "next of kin" she leaves the line blank. This leads to a discussion between her and the young man at the agency in which he informs her that everyone must have someone to list. She informs him that "she is all alone in the world." He insists that the form must be fully filled out in order for her to be considered for any job. She picks up a pen from his desk and asks him what his name is. When he answers, she writes his name and tells him that she now knows him as well as she does anyone else in the world. He tells her that he doesn't have any job possibilities for her other than a job as a secretary to an older man "on an island off the coast of Northern Maine." (Note that Northern Maine does not actually touch the ocean but forgetting that fact, we continue...) Furthermore, the job requires signing a contract and there are other unusual requirements. She has no particular concerns about her future and will agree to anything. She takes the job and travels to the island only to discover that the job is not at all what she expected and she desires to leave - but can't. Meanwhile, the young man at the employment agency starts to wonder just exactly what kind of situation he sent her into.

A woman takes a job on a remote island witha strange author and his house staff. She is sure the author's butler is up to no good and tries to prove it. Meanwhile, the guy who placed her in the job gets concerned and comes looking for her.

Mercedes McCambridge again as a beautiful but slightly flighty young woman who has no friends or family to indicate as the 'person to be notified' in case of an emergency. Because the employment agency requires a name she puts the name of the man interviewing her. He, himself is in the same predicament and, after sending her off on a strange job assignment, he worries about her.

There are approximately 300 million Indigenous Peoples worldwide - nearly 80 percent of them living in Asia. Although they make up roughly 4. 5 percent of the global population Indigenous Peoples account for about 10 percent of the world's poor. They suffer from higher poverty, lower education, and a greater incidence of disease and discrimination than other groups. This is the main finding of the report Indigenous Peoples, Poverty, and Development, a study that offers a "global snapshot" of a set of indicators for Indigenous Peoples vis-à-vis national demographic averages. The study also considers in detail how social conditions have evolved in seven countries around the world (Central African Republic, China, Congo, Gabon, India, Laos and Vietnam) during 2005-2010. It attempts to systematically document poverty for Indigenous Peoples outside the Americas, New Zealand and Australia. Contrary to a preceding publication on Indigenous Peoples poverty in Latin America (Hall and Patrinos 2006) where poverty rates for Indigenous Peoples mostly remained consistent over time certain countries in Asia are making progress in poverty reduction for Indigenous Peoples.
On this website you can find links to the new report Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Development, its related brief and the web page of the reports dissemination workshop held on Dec. 20, 2010. Also available are different country briefs and interview videos with the two main authors of the report, Gillette Hall and Harry Patrinos, and Cyprian Fisiy, Director of Social Development Department as well as the links to the preceding study on Indigenous Peoples poverty in Latin America.

"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
we don't play defense nice
Don't get why we don't just let Davis or Anderson play 3 more. Keep some offense on the floor.
I really get irritated watching Mony's defense backing in the paint and leaving 3s wide open. Shooters are too good these days to win with that defensive philosophy. Better to get beat with 2s than 3s since we can't stop the dribble drive anyway.

Man pleads not guilty to charges of pointing weapon at police officer
By Beth Kramer email@example.com May 9, 2013 11:45AM
Updated: July 9, 2013 2:27AM
The Mundelein man alleged to have walked into Vernon Hills police department for suicide by cop pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated assault Thursday, May 9.
Howard Lazarus, 53, could spend one to three years in prison or receive a sentence of probation if he is convicted, Judge Christopher Stride said.
Lazarus is accused of walking into Vernon Hills police station just after midnight April 3 claiming to report an auto accident. An officer referred Lazarus to Mundelein after learning the alleged accident happened in that jurisdiction.
The officer offered to transport Lazarus to Mundelein Police Department. At this point, Lazarus is accused of pulling out an airsoft pistol, which looked liked a semi-automatic handgun, and pointing it at the officer.
Lazarus is accused of advancing toward the officer and asking the officer to shoot him.
The officer shot Lazarus in the abdomen after Lazarus allegedly continued advancing toward him.
Authorities said Lazarus had a note in his pocket that said he was dying of cancer and could not "do the deed myself."
Lazarus did not appear to be in poor physical condition at his arraignment. His attorney Keith Grant said he could not provide a medical update on his client.
He is in custody at Lake County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. He is due back in court May 29 and is due for trial July 8.
