Due to a staff shortage, this week's episode is a quickie with a zeitgeist review and a fast miscellany that seems to focus on WikiLeaks.

This week's episode is not graced by that man of mystery, Blake Carver. In lieu thereof we check the zeitgeist for stories AND blog posts, bring an essay about the comments debate on-site, and a quick news miscellany.
Eventually Blake will be making an appearance. We're working on it.

10:33 minutes (4.23 MB)This is only appearing here, not in my real blog, because it's entirely about an aspect of LISNews that I believe has reached FAIL! stage. To wit, commenting.
I just checked articles with comments over the past couple of days--34 comments in all. Of those, exactly five were clearly signed (three by me, two each by two other people) and two more were pseudonymous. The rest--27, or nearly 80% of the total--were anonymous. (Oops. Now it's 28 of 35, or exactly 80% of the total.)
And one of mine only appeared because somebody else found it convenient to attack me by name for the content of my comment. Whereas you can't possibly attack Anonymous by name--after all, they're anonymous.
Screw it. If FriendFeed conversations were 80% anonymous, I'd get the hell off of FF. As it is, I'm learning my lesson: Join the faceless, irresponsible crowd--either don't comment on LISNews posts at all or make sure I've logged out first, so the comments are anonymous.
Too bad. There used to be some worthwhile conversations here, but when nearly all the participants are hiding behind namelessness, the conversations go bad.
This week's program brings a zeitgeist update and a miscellany of news items.

I just can believe that with all the discussions we've had about so many issues, not one person has had the time to put 250 words together on something... pedophiles, gay book bans, ebooks, the death of print, monkeys wearing people clothes, the ümlaut, overripe fruit in the book drop,...

CBNNews.com - Consumers should be able to expect some relief from soaring prices now that the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates yet again.
But that hasn't been the case after seven straight months of rate cuts.
During that time frame, the value of the dollar has stumbled, oil prices have skyrocketed and many say the economic outlook is still grim.
One problem seems to be that banks are reluctant to loan out money in the wake of the housing slump and credit crunch.
Still, some economists say that the economic woes would be far greater without the Fed's intervention.
"With the Fed on hold and the dollar firming, oil and gasoline and food prices may all top out some time in the next few months," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, told The Associated Press.
The reduction on Wednesday was a much smaller quarter-point move - not the half-point and three-fourths-point moves of earlier this year. It pushed the federal funds rate down to 2 percent.
That may be as low as consumer rates go. The central bank believes it may have done enough to keep the economic slowdown from deepening into a recession.
"The Fed may have gotten to the point where it could start hurting economic prospects in terms of the value of the dollar and oil prices and grain prices," said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University. "It think it was time for the Fed to slow down and take a pause."
Without further rate cuts, the dollar can be expected to stabilize and possibly rebound from the record lows against the euro and other currencies.
That should help various commodities, including oil and food, to backtrack from their recent record highs -- a process that may have already started.

text: Why would he use his old Pokemon if he has already so many Unova ones? If I remember correctly, Pikachu should be the only Kanto Pokemon to get redemption from what Trip said about Kanto. Ash never told him about his other Pokemon, so Trip only saw his Pikachu(who's energy was drained) and made an assumption. Oshawott is next. It definelty needs to prove itself towards Trip as well, since it was there when Trip decided that it wasn't the Pokemon for him. Maybe an evolution might also change his mind. As far as Charizard is concerned, having it sweeping his team in the league will be bad writing just like Iris's Dragonite was doing in this Junior cup, so no. All of those Pokemon he caught shouldn't go to waist.

NAB President/CEO Gordon Smith Supports H.R. 2903
Washington - Sep 19, 2012 - NAB President and CEO Gordon Smith sent a letter to Representatives John Mica, Peter King, Nick Rahall and Bennie Thompson expressing the NAB's support of H.R. 2903, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Reauthorization Act of 2011. The bill would strengthen FEMA's relationship with free and local radio and TV broadcasters during times of emergency.
The text of the letter follows.
Dear Chairmen Mica and King and Ranking Members Rahall and Thompson:
I write in support of H.R. 2903, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Reauthorization Act of 2011. This bill, which will modernize the nation's public alert and warning system to ensure that the president can effectively alert and warn citizens under all conditions during times of disaster, is strongly supported by America's broadcasters.
Local radio and TV stations serve communities during emergencies by providing life-saving information, important news and weather reports. The stations we represent have proudly worked with local and federal governments for more than six decades, airing alerts issued by the Emergency Alert System (EAS). Working hand in hand with law enforcement, broadcasters have helped to successfully recover more than 580 abducted children to date through the use of AMBER Alerts.
The FEMA Reauthorization Act of 2011 is an important step towards expanding the nation's public warning system by integrating multiple communications systems and future technologies. This legislation promotes local and regional public and private partnerships, and provides redundant alert mechanisms to reach the largest number of people during an emergency.
Additionally, this legislation establishes a training program to instruct federal, state, tribal and local government officials in system use. Broadcasters are very supportive of such a training program and view this as a critical component to successful alerting. Strengthening coordination among the different levels of government, the legislation will set up an Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) Advisory Committee composed of federal, state and local representatives as well as members from various industry groups. The National Association of Broadcasters and our members look forward to participating in this Advisory Committee and continuing our partnership with federal government.
Thank you for your consideration of this important legislation. America's broadcasters take their role as first informers in times of emergency very seriously. We look forward to working with you to strengthen our nation's warning system to help keep all Americans safe.
Gordon H. Smith

This wildflower/weed grew in my vegetable patch. There's nothing growing in there yet, except this. I think it's a pretty flower and I'd like to put it in my flower bed. I'd like to know a bit about it though, like will it take over, etc....?

After searching, I think I found out what it is. I believe it is White Campion (Evening Lychnis). |

It is, indeed, a campion. Some are native, some are not. Some are mannerly, some are not. If it concerns you, make real sure of your ID before deciding to keep it or yank it. |
I was wrong on that ID. It's actually a Night-Flowering Catchfly (Silene noctiflora) which looks nearly identical to the White Campion. The night flowering catchfly closes during the sunny day and opens at night. I'm gonna yank it either way. |

Priestly Hands by Fr. Cihak
"Quo Vadis" is the Latin phrase for "Where are you going?" Legend tells us that St. Peter asked Jesus this question on the outskirts of Rome. And we know where Jesus went in response to His Father's will.
Where are you going?
Quo Vadis Days is a 3-day camp for young Catholic men to learn more about the priesthood, to deepen their faith, and to better discern God's call in their lives. It was started in the Jubilee Year 2000 by Father John Cihak in the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon as a response to the Holy Father's request that the Church begin "The New Evangelization."
"We can't have a New Evangelization without a new generation of priests who will be heralds of the Gospel, heralds of the message of Truth and Love to the world."
—Father John Cihak
In 2003, Quo Vadis Days spread to the Archdiocese of Seattle when Fathers Derek Lappe and Hans Olson of the Southern Deanery and the Columbia River Serra Club sponsored their first camp. In the summer of 2005, Father Raymond LaVoie of the Diocese of Harrisburg (PA) hosted their first Quo Vadis Days.
This Quo Vadis Days Web site is to serve three purposes—to seek more shepherds, to support the young men after camp, and to invite other dioceses throughout the country to respond to the New Evangelization and begin their own Quo Vadis Days.
"The priest continues the work of redemption on earth.... If we really understood the priest on earth, we would die not of fright but of love.... The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus." —St. John Vianney, our patron

We had an electrician over to ask him some questions and it is his opinion that all the wiring and receptacles appear to be working fine but that they need to be replaced due to "water submersion" His invoice totals $3190 and includes Remove & Replace 2 outdoor GFI receptacles
We have two questions...

thank you |
While the quote is "reasonable", you should always get multiple quotes for any job. Not only does it give you peace of mind, but maybe the next guy will catch something the first missed. |

Spireites keen on Griffiths return
Chesterfield hope to have Peterborough defender Scott Griffiths back on loan in January.The full-back played the final game of his three-month spell with the League Two leaders against Harrow in the FA Cup on Saturday.Football League rules stipulate that a player can spend no longer than 93 days on an emergency loan, so Griffiths is unable to return until the next transfer window.Spireites boss John Sheridan hopes that will be the case and plans to talk to Peterborough in the near future."We are trying to sort something out. Hopefully he will be back with us in January," said Sheridan."It`s in the hands of their chairman and (director of football) Barry Fry. We`ve had positive feedback and hopefully we can get it sorted out."

McDermott shelves gubernatorial ideas; will run for 4th term
By Teresa Auch Schultz firstname.lastname@example.com August 6, 2014 2:22PM
Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott/Sun-Times Media file photo
Updated: September 8, 2014 10:55AM
Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. confirmed Wednesday that he doesn't plan on running for Indiana governor as long as Evan Bayh is still considering entering the race.
Bayh, who has already served two terms as Indiana governor in the 1990s, recently told the Howey Politics Indiana newsletter that although he didn't think it likely he would run for governor during the next race, he also hadn't ruled it out.
Thanks to those comments, McDermott said it would be "stupid" for him to consider trying to run in the same race, especially considering Bayh's $10 million campaign fund.
"People won't waste (money) on you if they don't know Evan Bayh is running," he said.
He referenced a friend who had spent six months preparing to run for mayor in Indianapolis only to learn of the possibility that Joseph Hogsett, who recently resigned as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, might also run.
"Everything changes," he said of having someone like Hogsett and Bayh announce possible runs for office. "... It's really hard to raise money."
For now, McDermott plans on focusing on running for his fourth term as mayor of Hammond next year. When asked if his plans might change depending on what Bayh decides, he said he's learned that changes happen frequently in politics.
"The good thing for me is I'm young, I've got a good track record, and I have options," he said.
McDermott also said that although he does have a statewide political action committee, he plans on using it help the statewide Democratic Party.

Hi -
We are looking to replace our windows and sliding patio door for our house. Has anyone heard of Customer Window Systes, Inc and their Energy StormSaver Solar Maxx vinyl windows? There are so many types of products out there that it is overwhelming for someone like myself. I've attached a link of their website. I'm also trying to decide if vinyl is better than aluminum. Is there anyone out there that has had vinyl windows more than 10 years? Thanks for the input. |

Hi Everyone.
I moved into my new house in New Jersey in May and shortly after started noticing that where ever water puddles or touches (toilet, shower floor, around sink drains, and around jets in whirlpool tub), it turns bright red a few days after cleaning. It's entirely new construction, all new Pex plumbing and a new waterline to the street. I've spoken to the water company and they have run quality tests on samples taken from my house and everything falls in the allowable ranges. So now I am at a loss. Any ideas on what could be causing these bright red stains.? Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Red stains obviously sounds like iron deposits. What was their reading for iron levels in the water they tested? Realize that water standards are only about water safety (i.e. will someone get sick if they drink it). They have nothing to do with what is typically deemed satisfactory regarding taste, odor, hardness, etc. Specifically ask them what they are referring to regarding 'allowable levels'. Levels for safety of iron are much much higher that what is tolerable for aesthetics and taste. Anything above 0.5 ppm of iron is a whole lot of iron and will lead to staining, but you can drink water with many ppm's of iron in it and be 'safe'. Since you have PEX plumbing and likely no iron pipes, the iron source is likely from the water source itself or from accumulation upstream of where your service joins. Do your neighbors experience this problem too? That will give you a clue as to the source. |

Hi Buzzsaw - Iron was my first thought too. The water quality specialist was a little hard to understand so I'm going to have to ask him to fax me the results. Bear with me with these results. He did say that hardwater was 98 (not sure if 98% or .98 or what), the chlorine was 3.1, the PH was 7.4 and something about water clarity was.12. He said that because of the water clarity result that means that the iron level would be low??? The didn't make much sense to me, but then again I'm not a water quality specialist. He thinks that because the water tests are fine that it's something airborne in my new construction that reacts with the surfaces and turns them red. I've never heard of anything like that, but again, I'm not a water quality expert. I think I might need to have an independent analysis done. |
So, is the color blood-red, or more orange? If orange, is it dark orange or light orange? Dark is likely iron, light could be chromium. Blood-red would be something else... Tell him to give you the units of the contents as well. Does little w/o the units. |

The color is definitely red, not orange. If it let it go more than a few days in between cleanings (which is a pain) it starts turning really dark red. He faxed me the results, but the quality was too poor to read. I didn't think that 98 hardness in any measurement was good. I'm surprised that public water would be that bad in terms of hardness? |
It the red a 'slime' or a mineral deposit? There are some bacteria that leave a red stain. |
I don't have an answer, but if you ever get one, please let me know! We have the same problem (northern VA here), building's only 2 years old (and has done it from the beginning), and no answers. I'm guessing some kind of bacteria or mold (not that it takes long to build up) but I really don't know. (my apologies if this posts twice, having form issues. >.< ) |
- Posted by Navarath(firstname.lastname@example.com) onFri, Dec 19, 08 at 9:00
Did anyone ever figure this out? Could it actually be coming from the Pex Tubing (colored red)? We have a similar problem in our new house. I thought for sure it was iron, but the test just came back negative. |

On today's show David Bianculli reviews The Central Park Five, the Ken Burns documentary about the five young black and Latino men who were wrongly accused and convicted of assaulting and raping a white woman who, in 1989, was running in Central Park. The doc airs tonight on PBS. It and the book on which it's based by Burns' daughter, Sarah, have brought a resurgence of public interest to the case which was a huge and controversial case and media event at the time. Among the many contemporary perspectives on it, was Joan Didion's now-classic 1991 essay for The New York Review of Books, "Sentimental Journeys," which foresaw the fact that the boys had been wrongly convicted. If you haven't already read it, it's long but it is spectacular.

A few days ago someone on the Elecraft list noted the vast difference in the complexity of most rigs from Yaesu-Icom-Kenwood as compared to that of the K3. They suggested having a look at schematics of rigs from the three Japanese manufacturers and comparing it to either the K3 or KX3.
I made a few comparisons and then I also compared the K2 to my old FT840. Both were in production at the same time so there is no significant generational gap between these two rigs.
In all cases, the Japanese rigs are more complex in circuitry and they weigh more than the Elecraft rigs…yet they are out-performed (according to Sherwood Engineering rankings) by Elecraft.
Based soley on intuition, it would seem that the added complexity should result in a superior transceiver.
Why is this not the case and, since it is not the case, what is the purpose/benefit of the added complexity?
In an unrelated thread on the Elecraft reflector (and to the point of this chart), others made note of the recently reviewed Kenwood TS-990S. It is well down on the Sherwood list – surprising for its price.
It makes me wonder what the appeal of these rigs is to those who buy them. They pay a premium price and get an inferior performing radio.
The obvious answer is that 3rd-order intercept is not the criteria used when deciding on a radio – nor should it be the only criteria.
Still, the chart provides (to me at least) a few surprises when comparing that performance parameter to the cost:
- At $8000, I would have expected the new TS-990S to be higher on the list. For those interested, the TS-990S manual is available here (63MB pdf).
The KX3 is a surprise. Granted, its low cost compared to other transceivers on the list is due in part to being QRP and not having a panadapter or sub-receiver. But still – what an accomplishment for Elecraft's design in producing a full featured low cost rig that gives the Big Rigs a run for their money – and comes out ahead in this important parameter.- My own K3 didn't cost the $3900 listed here. To be fair to some of the other rigs, I had to include the sub-receiver and panadapter options in the K3's price. At about $2100 for my kit-built version, it still places #4 on this list.
Elecraft receives a fair amount of criticism for being over-priced. I agree that that's true for some of their accessories – the KX1's plug-in paddle is $70, its auto-tuner is $130 – steep for a $300 kit. But the K3 itself – and the KX3 – do represent a good value based on what they offer.

Is your writing sending the right message?
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011From Scientific American's Mind Matters Blog: Are there hidden messages in your emails? Yes, and in everything you write or say, according to James Pennebaker, chair of the department of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Pennebaker has been a leader in the computer analysis of texts for their psychological content. And in his new book, "The Secret Life of Pronouns," he argues that how we use words like "I," "she," and "who" reveal secrets of our psychology.
The UST MBA Communication Labs help our students to master this kind of communication skill. Communication lab instructors are professionals who bring their experience coaching corporate leaders into the UST MBA classroom—enhancing your ability to communicate skillfully using effective writing, persuasive speaking and successful media management. Student presentations in core classes are captured on video, then critiqued and evaluated by instructors who provide invaluable feedback to further growth and development of effective business leaders.

Jargon Genesis: Pushing the Envelope
Thursday, July 14th, 2011I was recently reading an article and learned the story of the phrase "Pushing the Envelope." I know we've covered that here on the blog before but I thought it would be worthwhile to repost that tale today:
When I considered the phrase, "pushing the envelope," I assumed its origin had something to do with seeing how much one could fit into a paper envelope. I pictured an eager administrative assistant stuffing an envelope full and then adding one more piece of paper, really "pushing the envelope."
But I was sorely mistaken! We have written record that during World War II, a test pilot's job was to "push the envelope," speaking of the mathematical envelope, not the paper one. This envelope is defined as the locus of the ultimate intersections of consecutive curves. Huh?
Jargon Genesis: Tip
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011Before you head out to lunch today, you may want to read this…
If you've ever waited tables, chances are you're a good tipper. At least, that's the case with me. I remember those double shifts at the restaurant during college, making $2.17 per hour plus tips. It was hard and often thankless work, but the tips made up for it, when people were tipping well, that is.
NPR recently ran a report that delves into the economics behind why we tip. Do you tip out of gratitude for good service, out of guilt, or out of social pressure?
A quick look into the etymology of the word "tip" brings to light myriad acronyms which supposedly explain the origin of the word but are all incorrect. "To Insure Prompt Service," "To Insure Proper Service," "To Improve Performance," "To Inspire Promptness," or "To Insure Promptness" are a few mentioned by Wikipedia. (I won't go into the erroneous use of "insure" in this context rather than "ensure.")
Jargon Genesis: On Cloud Nine
Thursday, June 30th, 2011My question is, why nine? Why not cloud two or forty-four or six hundred thirty-seven? It seems we'll never know with certainty why "on cloud nine" was selected to refer to a very, very happy person, but I have a theory that could make the numerical selection less arbitrary. First, let's dispel some myths.
Some have erroneously stated that cloud nine traces back to the US Weather Bureau's classification from the 1950's, the level of the fluffy cumulonimbus. But since there were ten levels by the bureau's definition, why would someone who is supremely happy be a level below the highest? I'm afraid I wouldn't have an adequate superlative to describe happiness on level ten, if that were the case.
Another error is to claim cloud nine originated from one of the stages along the way to enlightenment for a Bodhisattva. Once again, though, this is a ten level process. If we were to accept this theory as true, I would assert that "the whole nine yards" originated from American football! 1st and 9 anybody?
Jargon Genesis: You're Fired!
Friday, June 10th, 2011If thieves in our current criminal system think they've got it bad, they should do some research on the miners from Mendip, England several hundred years ago. In a publication entitled "6 Laws of Mendip Miners," the punishment for theft is clearly laid out:
If any man… do pick or steale any lead or ore…the Lord or his Officer may arrest all his lead and Oare House or hearthes with his Grooves and Workes and keep them in forfeit… and shall take the person that hath soe affeended and bring him where his house or worke and all his tooles and instruments are… and put him into his house or worke and set fire in all together about him and banish him…
In other words, if he steals, he's fired! Literally.
Jargon Genesis: Pomp and Circumstance
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011With commencement ceremonies for the university taking place last weekend, it got us thinking about the genesis of some of the traditions that take place at graduations around the world. Many of you had the distinct honor of walking down an aisle, mortarboard on head, participating in a ceremony to commemorate the attainment of your UST graduate business degree. In this proud moment you were comforted by the tones of Sir Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance, March No. 1." (The part we all recognize comes in at about 1:51.)
If you grew up in the United States, you heard this song for your undergraduate, high school, 8th grade, and possibly even your kindergarten or pre-school graduation ceremony. So where did this piece come from, and how has it become so engrained in our commencement culture? Allow me to illuminate your minds on the subject.

Words cannot begin to describe the shock in the wake of this week's tragic events in Haiti. I know I am far from alone in feeling that way. What I can put into words at this time are my thoughts on how we can accelerate relief to those in need: By establishing a network by which humanitarian agencies in the region can communicate with each other and the outside world.
International aid workers are scrambling to rebuild communications in Haiti following the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake, while people outside the country are using high-tech means to raise money for relief.
On January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. Join recovery efforts mobilizing around the world to assist earthquake victims. Your donation will help disaster victims rebuild their lives and their communities. Google will also donate $1 million to help organizations provide relief.
New and easier ways to contribute have helped propel donations for Haiti earthquake relief efforts despite a weak economy, according to officials at a number of aid organizations, some of whom marveled at the volume of donations tweeted and texted from cellphones.
London, England (CNN) — Social media aren't always perceived as an effective way to coordinate fundraising efforts or bring change: In some circles, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the rest are seen as the domain of armchair activists.
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Online maps, mobile phone donations, wikis and a slew of websites are being deployed as telecoms firms, technology giants and startups set aside their rivalries and put the latest tools to work to help earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

Imagine a way to explore and have fun with government data.
The winners of Sunlight Labs Apps for America 2 contest say that 'fun' was part of their winning formula.
The Alexandria-based Forum One just won the $10,000 first place prize at the O'Reilly Media's Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase with their DataMasher program.
One of the goals of the contest was to build a Web site or internet app that would make federal data more accessible and interesting.
Sandy Smith was the lead developer on the project and manages Forum One's software development team.
A leading technology analyst firm says that many social sciences roles will be needed to work with corporations in helping to better understand the Web behavior of customers, online communities, personal brands and the spectrum of social networking communication.
In a recent report "Social Science Meets Technology in Next-Generation Jobs," Gartner Vice President Kathy Harris discusses in some detail four areas of jobs needed in the near future. Though she never really uses the words "social networks" the implication is that most companies aren't really geared toward taking advantage of the impact of these online communities, and that the numbers will be too large to ignore, regardless of the business you are in.
I've categorized and compared 7 social media channels that are currently being used by both B2B and B2C brands. I've suggested which type of brand works best in each channel.
News organizations appear to be paying more and more attention to social media as a possible way of improving monetization of their Web sites. Sites like SFGate and The Huffington Post believe their efforts will pay off.
This post is a more practical viewpoint from my previous post on the rise of the so-called "social media guru." Unfortunately, there's no certification process so anyone with a Facebook page and Twitter account can call themselves a social media guru. This means it's been up to companies to fend for themselves when selecting a partner. Your social media strategy may be one of the most important elements in your overall marketing and communications plan, so you're probably taking it very seriously. Let these five questions help you navigate a rather squishy world.
BANGALORE, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Someday the Kodak moment may be called the "Facebook" or "Twitpic" moment, but old-school photo management services are fighting to stay in the picture.
People have been flocking to popular social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to share images with friends and family, ditching sites like Flickr, Snapfish, Photobucket, Shutterfly Inc (SFLY.O) and Picasa.
TODD BYERS was among more than 20,000 people running the San Francisco Marathon last month. Dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, he might have blended in with the other runners, except for one glaring difference: he was barefoot.
We were excited to support Apps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge and even more excited to see the submissions. The public sector developer community never fails to impress. Congrats to the winners!
On May 21, 2009 the Administration launched data.gov to drive transparency and innovation by making federal data easily accessible. This was immediately followed by the Apps for America contest, challenging the American people to develop innovative solutions using data.gov. The contest was run by the Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan organization focused on "using the revolutionary power of the Internet to make information about Congress and the federal government more meaningfully accessible to citizens."
If you're a lobbyist / advocate, conspiracy theorist or Freakonomics fan, then you'll love DataMasher. The map-based mash up site just took the Sunlight Foundation's $10,000 grand prize in theApps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge. DataMasher offers users with no programming experience a chance to compare government data sets on a state-by-state basis.

While it was once regarded primarily as a private activity, innovation has increasingly become a process that encourages participation by an organization's employees, prospects, customers and partners. This system of external or open innovation creates a community that looks very much like a social network. In fact, open innovation communities are simply a specific example of social networking.
hings fall apart; the center cannot hold. Facebook, the online social grid, could not command loyalty forever. If you ask around, as I did, you'll find quitters. One person shut down her account because she disliked how nosy it made her. Another thought the scene had turned desperate. A third feared stalkers. A fourth believed his privacy was compromised. A fifth disappeared without a word.

Best practices on Twitter are still developing, and everyone seems to have their own preferences and attitudes about right and wrong on the microblogging service. Standards vary widely depending upon whether one is using Twitter just to keep in touch with friends or is tweeting on behalf of their business or employer. Whatever your purpose, you may have some tweeting habits that encourage others to unfollow or semi-follow you.

Metro is struggling with overruns again, but this time the problem isn't train operators overshooting platforms. It's mysteriously incomplete tweets.
In March, Metro set up a Twitter account and configured software to tweet onto the popular social networking site all of the advisories about service disruptions already e-mailed to subscribers.
This is a bit of a shocker. Facebook, who has seemingly been in a race to emulate many of Twitter's features, just announced that it's launching the ability for Facebook Page admins to simultaneously update both their Page and Twitter.

IN THE 19TH CENTURY, the paramount moral challenge was slavery. In the 20th century, it was totalitarianism. In this century, it is the brutality inflicted on so many women and girls around the globe: sex trafficking, acid attacks, bride burnings and mass rape.

In continuing with my series of quick social media tips (check out 5 tips for LinkedIn and 5 tips for Facebook) I'm covering some tips for business use of Twitter here. I've actually written about some of these tips in great detail before in this free ebook – Twitter for Business, but this can act as a quick primer for folks who like their info snack sized like this.
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. How are these forms of social media shaping world events and politics. With an eye on Iran, this week's Government IT Solutions Spotlight delves into the topic.
Along for the ride, Dr. Mark Drapeau, research fellow at the National Defense University.
How can we be expected to grow and create jobs, many executives wonder, when we are shrinking?
Despite a slight easing on the unemployment rate, a quarter million Americans lost their jobs last month, and job prospects for those out of work look bleak for the foreseeable future. Policymakers and citizens alike are concerned with how we can reduce the rate of unemployment—no easy feat when balanced with the need to slash expenses.

He's in a wheelchair and appears to have a mental impairment, but police say that a Kentucky panhandler is faking his disability in a scheme to score cash.
Gary Hank Thompson, 30, is a common sight on the streets near Lexington, Ky. Sitting in a wheelchair, Thompson's speech is slurred and he appears to have limited use of his hand.
While Thompson does have trouble walking, police say that everything else is just an act, one they called "very offensive and almost mocking of people who have legitimate disabilities."
Acknowledging his con, Thompson told a local television reporter that he pulls in $60,000 to $100,000 annually from people on the street, reports The Lexington Herald-Leader. To read more click here.

Wow! We are in the wrong field!
Nothing new. There have always been beggars claiming a disability. This goes back centuries.
OMG have we come a long way!
Sadly, this man is contributing to an old, hurtful steriotype about people with disabilities. For a long time, the begger image haunted those of us with disabilities, and it's legacy can still be fould on occasion today. The poor begger with a disability holding out a cap to collect donations from caring folks was call "hand & cap". Most people don't know it, but this is how the dated term handicap first cane into existance as a refrence to people who have disabilities. It is shameful that a conartist would rehatch such a hurtful steriotype to line his own pocket. Mr. Thompson should be ashamed of himself for playing to such a degrading steriotype to scam decent caring folks!
If our community wants to be smart about disability policy, we should take a leadership role in fighting the massive criminal fraud that's putting disability safety nets at risk. I read next to nothing from leaders in our community about disability fraud. It doesn't take a genius to realize that the disability designation is being abused by folks and their enablers whose unemployment benefits have timed out. Profiteers gaming the system too (the Scooter Store being the most recent). The Wall St Journal, NY Times and many many others have written extensively on this issue. Unless we protect this category we risk losing it entirely. It's well past time we offer more than crickets and focus current resources to protect long term resources.
Nothing strange about this. In San Francisco there are at least a dozen people doing this. Another odd thing, as someone who uses a wheelchair myself, I notice that several of them have very high end chairs, which makes me wonder where they got them since Medicare, the only type of insurance I'm allowed (thanks conservatives, $340/month for almost nothing) won't pay anywhere near the full cost of such chairs for me. They either stole them or they have the cash to pay what Medicare refuses.

Delicious Passover Desserts
There is something to be said for tradition. I find it comforting that every year as Passover approaches I know with pretty good certainty what we are going to be serving at the seder. Sure we might swap a kugel here or a green vegetable there, but the majority of the menu stays constant from year to year. I am all in favor of experimenting with new twists on the classics, but for the seders I like to keep things traditional. The one exception is dessert. Every year the dessert is different. Dessert is where I can express my creativity without anyone being upset that we went against tradition. For our family a different dessert each year is the tradition.
In our house the biggest insult a person can give a dessert is to say "it tastes like Pesach". That is not saying that all Passover desserts are bad, but they certainly are not all good either. In my opinion there should be no reason to sacrifice good taste when it comes to dessert, even on Passover. If it isn't good enough to serve year round I don't want to serve it on Passover either. While there are the classic go to standards, like flourless cakes and chocolate mousse, I like to mix things up a bit and serve desserts that are a bit more unusual.

Route #4) Torreys Peak - Kelso Ridge
TH: | Take I-70 to the Bakerville exit (#221). Leave the highway and drive south over to the dirt parking area near the start of Forest Road 189. This is the winter trailhead and, even if the upper road is open, low-clearance passenger cars should park here. Its almost 3 miles to the summer trailhead. Reach a junction after one mile - stay straight and follow the sign for the Grays Peak trailhead. Continue another 2 miles to the trailhead at 11,280. There are restrooms and a few dispersed camping spots near the parking area. |
Route: |
Hike 1.75 miles up the Grays Peak trail (Photo #1) to a flat area (12,200') where the trail crosses a flat, rocky area. Photo #2 shows the view of Torreys and the Kelso Ridge route. Continue on the Grays trail and, when it begins to climb off to the left, stop and look for a smaller trail to the right, near 12,300' - Photo #3. The smaller trail leads to the saddle between Torreys and Kelso Mountain. Leave the Grays Peak trail and follow the trail over the base of the slope under the saddle. Look for the old, small mine shack up on the slope. Hike up the trail to reach the saddle, near 12,400' - Photo #4. |
Notes: |
The road to the trailhead is somewhat rough, so a good clearance vehicle is recommended. |

Young children are often scared of the dark - and the monsters they imagine hiding in their room! Supernanny expert Dr Martha Erickson explains how to handle your little one's fears.
Several times lately our four-year-old has got very worked up at night, claiming that there's a monster under his bed. He says that he's afraid to be alone in his room. Is this cause for concern? And, how can we help him get over these fears?
What you describe is not at all unusual in young children and the frightening images that surround them on TV and film may feed into these fears. Actual news stories of children being abused or kidnapped can erode the security of children of all ages. It also is common for ordinary stress and anxiety to bubble up at night – when children can't exactly name what's making them uneasy, it may come out as fear of imagined creatures.
Such fears become cause for serious concern only when they go on long enough – or are intense enough – that they interfere significantly with a child's sleep or with their ability to play and learn during the daytime hours. In that case it would be wise to check to be sure he hasn't experienced something traumatic, and seek professional counselling if needed.
Your older child's sleep problems: Once your child is back at school, a good night's sleep will be more important than ever – so is he getting enough zzzzs?
Bedtime routine: A consistent bedtime routine should be the cornerstone of your family routine. Your child's development will benefit from a daily 11 to 12 hours of sleep, and it's vital for your relationship that you and your partner have time to yourselves, too…
Teaching children how to share: As our children get older, what we want is for them to play nicely with other kids. But that usually includes sharing - their toys, food, even their mums! So how can we teach them to do that? Supernanny expert Dr Martha Erickson explains...
Getting Bedtime Back on Track: Staying up late to watch TV or play in the garden, with the chance to sleep in the next morning, can mean children's sleep cycles naturally shift away from the ideal bedtime.

Since 1986, the talented artist said God has been giving her divine visions that have accumulated into 40 prophetic paintings. These paintings often focus on what Ide calls "the Divine Romance" — the relationship between Christ and His Bride, the church.
The Paris-born artist said the visions usually occur during worship at her church in Cleveland's International House of Fire. Despite the "instant downloads," Ide often searches over the best way to capture the vision.
"I see an idea of what the Lord is telling me and then I have to figure out how to best represent the vision. I try to find reference material, but a lot of times I need to set up people as a way to see what it should look like."
As for the experience of receiving the vision itself, she describes that as being exhilarating.
"It is really like being in His presence. He is using me to create it, but it is really His picture. It's like a prophet who would prophesy, except the way this expresses itself is how I am going to paint my revelation," she said.
When speaking about the prophetic paintings, Ide is quick to accept no credit, saying, "It is all God's doing." Especially concerning the testimonies of healing and strength that sometimes follow certain paintings.
Perhaps it was the influence of the French culture she was born into, but Ide cannot remember a time that she was not drawing or painting.
"The earliest paintings I remember were from when I was about 8. They were bouquets, vases and still-life. Art has always been what I wanted to do."
So much so that she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Tours, France. Following graduation she continued to paint and created what she now calls her "French Collection." These paintings do not include any of her work she believes is divinely inspired.
"Marilyn Monroe was the first painting I ever did with an airbrush," she said. "It was a self-given assignment and I chose her because she is so well-known, an icon."
Ide returned to America in 1999 where she later met her husband, Michael Wilburn. The two were married last year on Dec. 31. Today they are working to further Wanda's art ministry, Visual Praise 4 Christ.
The versatile artist also paints striking portraits of everyday people. When she is not painting, Wanda enjoys taking walks and playing with her dogs, a Jack Russell terrier named Austie and a basset hound affectionately called Annie Flannigan. In addition, she works part time at Cleveland's Mountain View Inn Restaurant, where some of her paintings are on display.
The industrious artist is preparing to feature her artwork in the 44th Annual Nillie Bipper Festival and is completing a portrait of her father, who lost his life in Vietnam.
"My passion is to glorify God with the gift that he gave me," Ide said. "When I get to do what I am graced to do, that's when I'm happiest."

Concentrated Fruit Juices and Reduction in Pain and Improvements in Range of Motion
Posted in..:
Research & Development

Experiencing pain is a significant problem which afflicts millions of people worldwide on a daily basis. Research involving inflammation, arthritis and joint health continues at unprecedented levels, particularly as the age of our population continues to climb. Maintaining an active lifestyle can help to offset the reductions in strength, flexibility, and mobility which take hold of our bodies as we become older. Many foods and nutrients are suggested to have specific abilities to improve these outcomes. Various fruits, which are known to contain varying levels of key nutrients, are often discussed in this regard.
Acai fruit
(Euterpe oleracea Mart.) and its pulp are known to contain elevated levels of various
. In addition, a number of other fruits and berries (pomegranate, passion fruit, bilberry, wolfberry, kiwi, purple grapes, blueberries, etc.) are also suggested to exhibit similar antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. To examine the impact of a liquid mixture of similar fruits and berries for its ability to positively impact pain,
status and range of motion, fourteen middle-aged participants over a twelve week period ingested a juice preparation on a daily basis in an open-label manner (Jensen 2011). All participants consumed four ounces of the fruit preparation for a period of twelve weeks and were measured on five occasions for various measures of pain, range of motion, inflammation and antioxidant status. Juice ingestion was found to significantly reduce pain, improve the range of motion and also cause improvements in a number of areas of daily living. In addition, the antioxidant status in the blood of the participants was significantly improved after two weeks and remained improved through the entire twelve weeks of the study. A commonly accepted marker of inflammation, c-reactive protein, was reduced after twelve weeks, although the improvement was not considered statistically significant. Additionally, the positive changes in
status appeared to be best related to the improvements seen in physical well-being. The results from the pilot data are encouraging, however, the open-label design of this study and the lack of any statistical comparison to a placebo group make complete interpretation of the data challenging. The authors raised a good point in the discussion whereby fruits, juices, and other foods which contain a wide array of nutrients offer unique perspective when studying their ability on antioxidant or any other function in the body when compared to results from single-nutrient studies. Regardless, preliminary results from this study suggest a blend of fruits and berries may offer relief from pain, inflammation, and improvements in range of motion and function.

Do any of yall know when Weigela Red Prince blooms. I am looking for something for humming birds in the spring. When does Cross Vine bloom. Any help would be appreciated. Red |
Follow-Up Postings:
From what I've seen, weigela starts blooming in late spring, but don't know about cross vine. |
Weigela florida (Old Fashioned Weigela) blooms from May to June, and sporadically after that. Bignonia capreolata (Cross Vine) blooms from around March to May. |
I thank yall so very much. I believe if I plant Red Buckeye, Cross Vine and Weigela I will have blooms for the humming birds in the Spring. I will plant Trumpet Vine and Corn with Red Morning Glories ,Cypress Vine and Cardinal Climber.I have Mimosa already planted. That should do me for the summer and up till now.What do yall think of this .Red |
