Getting to Know Yom Kippur
Confession: I'm still kind of a Yom Kippur rookie.
Yom Kippur has always been a mystery to me. I am from a household of two Jewish parents, but we were not an observant family. The most we did for the High Holidays was having my grandparents over for dinner. I knew Rosh Hashanah was the Jewish New Year, but I did not understand that there was an entire Jewish calendar, and my parents never even approached the subject of Yom Kippur.
Growing up, I always knew I was Jewish, but I didn't really understand what that meant. I started to learn more about Judaism when I was in college. I sought out the Jewish community and met great friends and also learned a lot about being Jewish. Now, I am living in Jackson, Mississippi, working for a Jewish organization, figuring out my own Jewish observance and traditions—and still trying to figure out Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur gets a bad rap. We go from indulging in delicious food on Rosh Hashanah to fasting on Yom Kippur—kind of a downer. We go from celebrating to apologizing, from "Happy New Year" to "here's everything we did wrong last year." So this year, I wanted to try to figure out what Yom Kippur really means, but mostly, what it really means to me.
So I took a survey. I went around the office at the ISJL asking my fellow Education and Community Engagement Fellows to explain the point of Yom Kippur. The best answer I got was that it marks a period of transition. Like the secular New Year, people make resolutions and promises about how they will do better in the coming year. However, Yom Kippur is not only about looking forward to a bright future; it is also about reflecting on your past.
We spend 10 days in flux and get to think about big questions like:
- "What could I have done better this past year?"
- "Am I where I want to be in life?"
- "How have I changed during this past year?"
It is a time to check in with yourself, to not only make sure that you are doing what makes you happy, but also that you are doing good in the world.
- When was your last random act of kindness?
- When was the last time you volunteered?
- How are you going to give back in the coming year?
I find the best way to grow as a person is by giving back to the communities that have helped me along my own path. Before taking on this new perspective, I had a hard time understanding a holiday where we were supposed to think about all of the bad things we've done over the year and feel sorry about them. Now, I am excited to think about Yom Kippur as a time for personal reflection. I am going to sit down and make some goals for the next year, but also reflect on all that I learned, accomplished, and struggled with in 5774.
As of now, I've started to think about Yom Kippur like a Yoga class. At the beginning of each class, you set your intention, and I want to go through 5775 intentionally. I will think about what has changed me in the past year, and how that has helped me grow. I will think about how I can contribute to my community on both local and global scales. I will use these reflections to make a plan for how I would like to continue to grow in the future. Maybe this will become my tradition, or maybe my relationship with Yom Kippur will continue to evolve—either way, I'm already starting to understand it a bit better.

Sleepless in North Georgia: This Is What Happens When Jews Convene
I took a look at my cell phone clock, which read 7:05 AM. I was incredibly sleepy, but not because I had just woken up. No, this was because I had not even gone to sleep in the first place.
I'm not in college anymore, so I didn't need to pull an all-nighter to study for a test—this was absolutely, completely voluntary. I was at Limmud Atlanta + Southeast, taking place at Ramah Darom, a gorgeous summer camp. And if I were to go to sleep, that would mean sacrificing a few hours of an unbelievably wonderful Jewish experience.
Limmud Atlanta is hard to describe without seeing it up close and personal, but here's my best attempt: take a fun Southern camping trip, mix it with a gloriously-overwhelming amount of Jewish learning, and sprinkle a 72-hour-long jam session on top. Stir it all together. Baddabing baddaboom—that's my short and sweet approximation of Limmud Atlanta.
Here were some of the most memorable, totally-worth-sacrificing sleep experiences I had over the course of the conference.
- Tying together the concept of Tzedakah and episodes of Orange is the New Black
- Making percussion noises to best imitate what the 6th day of creation would sound like, in a session whose title asked me to "Get my Soul Vibration On"
- Learning how to play a board game entitled Settlers of Canaan – all about the Holy Temple in Jerusalem
Limmud Atlanta was educational. It was fun. It was, for close to 72 hours, thoroughly, awesomely ridiculous, in the best and most Jewish of ways.
Most importantly, it reminded of something I've long held to be true: Jewish conferences are, without a doubt, one of the best tools towards deepening Jewish identity, both personal and communal. Limmud Atlanta helped me remember that there is no substitute for deeply immersing in Jewish life for an extended period of time—even just a few days.
But some of you might be wondering…okay, so Limmud Atlanta sounds amazing, but what about all of the Jewish conferences out there that aren't so dynamic? My response might sound a bit unorthodox: it is my heartfelt belief that attending even a sub-par Jewish conference is a substantially better allocation of Jewish time and resources than the vast majority of briefer Jewish engagement experiences.
This might seem strange at first, but hear me out. When at a conference—even one that does not achieve its goals particularly effectively—you enter into a mental framework. For two or three consecutive days, you immerse yourself in a particular subject matter. At a political science conference, attendees expand mental energy, for a couple days on the topic of political science. Same for a conference about feminism, or the Middle East, or anything else. At a Jewish conference, everyone there spends at least a couple days of their lives focused specifically on Judaism: On Jewish community, Jewish learning, Jewish history, Jewish culture, and of course, on Jewish food.
Now, I am very lucky to work for a Jewish organization. I spend at least 8.5 hours a day connecting to Judaism in some form. But many people struggle to allocate substantial time to Jewish engagement. There's work, there are family commitments, perhaps some time for recreation here and there—important elements of our day-to-day existence that make any sort of intensive Jewish engagement difficult from one day to the next.
But by attending a Jewish conference, that paradigm breaks. It might normally take two full months to accrue 48 hours of "engagement" time in the Jewish community—and that's for an actively involved Jew spending 5-6 hours a week in some sort of Jewish context. At a 72-hour Jewish conference, even after subtracting 8-hours a night for sleep (if, unlike me, you choose to indulge in some shut-eye!), you can reach that same 48-hour threshold in just three days. Even if the programming isn't perfect, the experience is powerful. It's transformative. Occasionally, it can be life-changing.
So, I would ask each of you reading this, please look for a Jewish conference happening near you. Don't go just to make me happy (though I assure you, I will be, especially if I see you there)! Go because, odds are, it will help you evolve and grow as you undertake your own Jewish journey.
(And seriously, don't you want to learn how to get your soul vibration on???)

Operation: Understanding – Our History, Our Present
Yesterday, the ISJL hosted students from Operation Understanding, an organization whose mission is to develop a group of young African American and Jewish leaders knowledgeable about each other's histories and cultures to effectively lead the communities of Philadelphia, PA and Washington, D.C. to a greater understanding of diversity and acceptance.
I thought I would share with our readers here a little of what I shared with the students in our office.
Having taught high school history for a number of years, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to do a presentation for teenagers on the relationship between Southern Jews and African Americans. This is not an easy talk to give to any age group, because while we like the stories of Jews fighting for civil rights, the historical truth is that those were primarily Northern Jews; most Southern Jews were not actively involved in fighting against the white hierarchy of the South.
Jews in states like Mississippi lived in a climate of fear and intimidation. Southern Jews were acutely aware that any challenge to white supremacy would result in serious social and economic consequences. Synagogue bombings, threats of economic boycott, and violence directed against civil rights workers convinced a lot of Southern Jews to remain relatively silent.
African American activists faced the same challenges, but to a much higher degree. James Chaney – one of three civil rights workers murdered during Freedom Summer by members of the Ku Klux Klan near Philadelphia, Mississippi – struggled to find support for civil rights among his local community. They were afraid of falling prey to what ultimately happened to Chaney. Chaney knew the risk and accepted it, paying dearly for his bravery. Following his death, his mother Fannie made sure that James' younger brother Ben would follow his brother's footsteps. I can't imagine the kind of courage that would allow a mother to risk such a sacrifice, but she did, and Ben is still an active advocate of civil rights today.
Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld, a Jewish activist who came down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi trying to register black voters, elected to leave the danger almost as soon as he arrived. He did not make the decision lightly or at some small act of intimidation, however: he was senselessly beaten with a tire iron in board daylight by white supremacists. A small group representing Hattiesburg's Jewish community urged him to get out of town, fearful their synagogue would get burned or their members injured or killed. Lelyveld responded: "Don't worry, I can't wait to leave."
These stories illustrate of a larger lesson: when any one of us fights for a social justice cause, we often embark on that journey with the best of intentions and without anticipating all of the dangers, difficulties and tragedies along the way. When that path threatens our safety or the safety of others, we begin to question how far we should go. Despite enduring great risk and suffering great injury, Lelyveld was able to return to the North and never face his aggressors again. Jews within the Hattiesburg community had to live among them with the memory of his beating urging them against anything other than compliance.
Even still, some very brave Southern Jews did stand up for civil rights in all sorts of ways. Many prominent Southern rabbis called for an end to bombings of African American churches and school segregation. And, despite the threat of boycotts against businesses owned by their husbands and families, many Jewish women worked against the segregationist system through organizations like the Women's Emergency Committee. The organization was formed to combat the governor's closing of Little Rock High schools. One Jewish woman, Marilyn Siegel, raised money for the WEC while dying from cancer.
Today, learning and working together, we can use these stories as an opportunity to ask ourselves larger questions about what we would do in similar circumstances. The issue of personal sacrifice for the sake of the common good is at the crux of a democracy. Each of us must inevitably weigh just how much we are willing to sacrifice for others every day in our own lives.
Here are some of the reflections and insights from some of these amazing students:
- "I think too many people my age assume someone else is going to take care of things and so they don't do anything but it doesn't mean we don't still care."
- "In my community, the biggest problem is young black males being incarcerated, but I don't know how to help because the problem seems so big."
- "A bunch of us walked out to protest budget cuts to our public schools, but not everyone because they were scared of being suspended. I think we let fear get in the way of standing up for things we care about."
- "I like the fact that my community is so diverse. I think it makes everyone stronger somehow. People tend to look out for one another and that makes me proud to live there."
What are your observations about diversity in your community? How do historical narratives shape your own understanding? I'd love to hear your thoughts, too.

Power User: Lack of technology is a disaster
By John McCormick
Sep 21, 2005
John McCormick
It's still difficult for me to concentrate on the trivialities of computer technology during the ongoing tragedy along the Gulf Coast, especially when I know from personal experience just how poorly prepared we are to face real disasters. I also know how simple and inexpensive it would be to improve the situation, even without cutting-edge technology. And it doesn't require searching the shoes of 90-year-old great-grandmothers before letting them board an airplane (an airplane that probably has cargo in its hold that wasn't inspected).
I have great respect and sympathy for the rescue workers. Having spent a lot of time in the North Atlantic, I especially commend the efforts of the Coast Guard search-and-rescue workers. I never needed them but often saw their fine work.
However, I can't say I'm even slightly surprised by the poor performance of emergency management, especially at the higher levels. I served for years as a local emergency management coordinator in Pennsylvania. I finally resigned in protest when a large post-9/11 grant was used to redesign a report form rather than buy radios so local coordinators could communicate with fire and rescue workers. Those who are serving here still don't even have beepers to let them know when to respond to a disaster. None of them is required to have computers or e-mail, and few do. Our County Emergency Management director and county commissioners don't read or answer their e-mail'even during normal times.
Considering the value of e-mail and instant messaging during a crisis, not to mention easily obtainable satellite Internet service (possibly the only way to communicate in a disaster), I couldn't see spending tens of thousands of dollars reformatting a piece of paper that resulted in more busy work for coordinators. Neither could I see myself wasting time training to coordinate events that I had no hope of controlling.
Demand the technology you need
It is not unreasonable to demand that local emergency management coordinators have beepers and radios with fire department channels. Does it make any sense that because I could buy the necessary technology on my own, I was the only local coordinator in my county with Global Positioning System maps?
Much of the money appropriated for emergency preparedness is simply being squandered instead of invested in basic off-the-shelf technology for training and communications. Cutting-edge tools aren't necessary.
I'm not intimately familiar with the tools available to those emergency management workers on the ground in the Gulf Coast region, but I can't imagine that their situation is that different from what I experienced up north. And from what my off-the-record contacts in the region tell me, I'm right.
There wasn't a team of three or four police officers at the Louisiana Superdome or the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center with a satellite phone'but there should have been. There should have been someone there with a laptop to record the names of everyone entering those facilities and immediately placing that information on the Web. Seems like a no-brainer.
All the blame doesn't belong at the local level, but that's probably where it will land, as usual. No matter how poorly trained a coordinator is, simply having the ability to communicate is crucial. Without that capacity, no amount of training can extend a coordinator's control beyond the sound of his or her voice.
The people involved, especially the aid workers, will be under severe stress for years. They need technology to get their jobs done. If we don't finally learn from this, we will have failed as a country to care for our own. The world is watching.

The story is available.
The howling has already begun from the mad partisans on the right. Cries of 'union thuggery' are ringing out in the blogosphere, certainly to reverberate out into the mainstream conservative media.
For those who like a few facts before passing judgment, it seemed like a good idea to put together a few highlights from the almost decade long struggle to save the iconic brand.
First, this is the second bankruptcy the company is going through. The first one, in 2004, led to significant concessions from all employees, and a loss of several plants, outlets, and about a third of the workforce. Turns out, that wasn't enough.
Enter the 'venture' capitalists.
During the first bankruptcy, the company actually fought off several attempts to buy the company, instead turning over equity to several equity firms, many of whom, ironically, get their money from large pension funds. They managed to emerge from bankruptcy in 2009. Then things started to go downhill.
The company filed again this year, 2012, and continued to operate with $75 million more from the equity firms. They installed Gregory Rayburn as Chief Restructuring Officer, with a compensation package of $1.5 million, plus cash incentives and a $1.95 million "long term compensation" package. Rayburn's company also was paid $120k per month in 'fees'.
It was also discovered that immediately prior to filing bankruptcy in 2012, Hostess executives received raises up to 80%, despite having promised that all employees, including management, would share in the concessions necessary to keep the company afloat..
Then the company wanted more concessions from its employees. The unions refused the concessions but agreed not to strike, as long as they weren't forced into a contract. Hostess went to a judge and force the unions into a contract.
The entire time, Ripplewood, the major equity stakeholder, was charging the company a $3 million annual 'management fee.'
The baker's union, which is being blamed for the shut down, says that the latest offer from Hostess amounted to as much as a 32% reduction, on top of what they already conceded in the previous bankruptcy.
A route driver, who works 60 hour weeks, recently told the New York Post, "My take home pay for last week: $418.50. I was making $550. You're a smart guy, you do the math."
All generalizations are dangerous.

Unemployment rate 5.7 percent in March
April 05, 2004
The unemployment rate, 5.7 percent, and the number of unemployed persons, 8.4 million, were essentially unchanged in March. Both measures remained below their recent highs of June 2003.
Unemployment rates in March for the major worker groups—adult men (5.2 percent), adult women (5.1 percent), teenagers (16.5 percent), whites (5.1 percent), blacks (10.2 percent), and Hispanics or Latinos (7.4 percent)—showed little or no change over the month.
In March, the number of persons who worked part time for economic reasons increased to 4.7 million, about the same level as in January. These individuals indicated that they would like to work full time but were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find full-time jobs.
The data in this report are from the Current Population Survey. Data in this article are seasonally adjusted. For more information, see "The Employment Situation: March 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-596.

Patents blocking stem cell research One of the most promising areas for medical research are stem cells, and now that the Obama Administration has lifted many restrictions on their use, you would think this line of research would be booming. Not so according to Medindia which reports that there has been such a rush to patent in this area that research is in fact very difficult now. [Posted at 01/27/2011 05:30 PM by Christian Zimmermann on Science and IP comments(2)] Terence Kealey: "Science is a Private Good--Or: Why Government Science is Wasteful" I recently attended at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Property and Freedom Society in Bodrum, Turkey (see my Bodrum Days and Nights: The Fifth Annual Meeting of the Property and Freedom Society: A Partial Report). I delivered a speech entitled "Ideas are Free: The Case Against Intellectual Property." The speech following mine was by one Terence Kealey, a biochemist at the University of Buckingham and author of Sex, Science and Profits and The Economic Laws of Scientific Research. Kealey is a fantastic speaker and his fascinating, riveting talk, "Science is a Private Good - Or: Why Government Science is Wasteful" (video; audio), perfectly complemented my anti-IP talk-in fact his book Sex, Science and Profits has a chapter calling for the abolition of patents. (The other PFS speeches (see the Program) are being uploaded and will be linked here.)
[Posted at 06/20/2010 07:35 AM by Stephan Kinsella on Science and IP comments(0)] The Other Dr. No: HIV Researcher Fighting the IP Pirates I don't mean the James Bond movie, or Ron Paul, Congress's "Dr. No." This wonderful, eye-opening piece by the heroic IP-abuse reporter Joe Mullin, The Fight of His Life (Mullin's blog, The Prior Art) highlights the appalling ordeal of Dr. Bob Shafer, a bioinformatics expert. Yet another case of patent law victimizing innovation and innocent people.
As such stories tend to be, this one is complicated, but it's crucially important, so bear with my attempt at a concise summary. Dr. Shaffer, an associate professor of medicine and pathology at Stanford University, established the HIV Drug Resistance Database (HIVdb) (wikipedia link) in 1998. As the article reports, This is quite obviously a heroic, important, noble and benevolent effort. As the article notes, it's "a highly regarded free resource that he developed, Stanford hosts, and doctors and scientists around the world rely on." However, in January 2007, ABL, a medical software company based in Luxembourg, claimed that the database infringed its patents. Read the article for more details, but in short: Stanford first moved to invalidate ABL's patents by filing a declaratory judgment suit in California in October 2007; but then later settled with ABL, where ABL agreed not to sue Stanford for patent infringement and Stanford agreed to put a prominent disclaimer on the HIVdb, informing those who used it that, depending on the nature of their work, they might need a patent license from ABL. However, Shafer wasn't required to sign the agreement with ABL and was not told him about the settlement's terms until after it was reached. Shafer at first refused to post the notice, and bully for him. He was afraid it would lead doctors to think they owe money to ABL, "and that the database built mostly with taxpayer-funded National Institutes of Health grants is no longer free." Finally, under pressure, he did post a notice but he appended his own language arguing the patents are overbroad and invalid. See about halfway down on this page, where Dr. Shafer bravely challenges the validity of these patents. He also launched the site Harmful Patents, where he defiantly and courageously challenges the use of these patents to claim "a monopoly on the very concept of developing software to help physicians make treatment decisions"--absurdly, the patent gives ABL a monopoly on "the science of using computers to enhance medical treatment and decision making." As one of Shafer's colleagues notes, "If you read [ABL's patents] literally, anyone who is providing therapeutic options based on the sequence of a pathogen violates their patent, and that goes on in hundreds of contexts. It's truly a dangerous precedent." Although ABL already settled with Stanford, its suit against Sahfer for breach of contract and defamation is ongoing. According to Mullin's report, Shafer has racked up more than $100,000 in legal bills and his career is in jeopardy, since he's fighting ABL and refused to cravenly give in, as his employer, Stanford University, arguably did. I do not know if Shafer seeks or needs or welcomes help, or how it might be done. But I am all in favor of helping this man fight these people, and fight for the principle of "free access to published data" as "an intrinsic part of science and medicine." Good for Shafer, and for Mullin for bringing this to light. [Posted at 05/08/2009 08:48 PM by Stephan Kinsella on Science and IP comments(0)] |

Loved the location!! Walking distance to everything we wanted to do! Will stay here again for sure!
Room was gorgeous. Shower was nice. Would of enjoyed a big tub. Decor was great.
Elevators gave us problems with our room keys. Which was resolved. The price versus the view is my biggest dislike.
Parking fee No special treatment for our 5y anniversary Room not clean Terrible view of the suite on the top floor
Late check out
parking prices,maids constantly knocking
The first night rate was $199. The rate was then raised by $30 per night. The overnight parking was $45 per night. The Marriott across the street is a MUCH better view and value. I will NEVER stay there again!
Valet and bell hops were amazing...
Check out on my email was 12 I then I was told that morning it was 11 and was rushed out...
Great location provides quick access to food, entertainment and shopping. Dig the room layout and amenities. Modern and fun.
check in process slow. They dont have enough kiosks and there is always a line.
loved the location.
1. I do not mind to pay $400, and I do not want a free breakfast or free any thing , but give me what I paid for, looking on the web site I wanted a larger room so I booked a suite, from the photos it looks large, it is a match box, the furniture was like it was from ikea, the rooms were so small. I wanted to sleep in but could not because drapes do not close all the way they fall short by 18 inches, so much sunlight at 6 am in the morning,. paid $60 for a hamburger and salad, no drinks no water. paid $7 for person to bring food up. Rooms was dirty with dust everywhere. The hotel look awesome from the website but you need to take it with a grain of salt. I went there to propose to my future wife, I wanted it to be so special. yes she said yes to me and i suppose that's what counts the most, but please do not have high hopes try kimpton hotels they value guests and get a better bang for your buck,
Fantastic location right in the Gas Lamp district
Very Loud guests and obviously very thin walls
I liked the location of the hotel and the hotel it's self ! The staff was absolutely amazing, the room was awesome, room service was delicious. I highly recommend anyone to stay here while visiting San Diego!
Comfortable bed, clean room,
When i arrived there was no one to greet us. No valet was present when i arrived had to look for them. Had to wait about 20min. To get registered due to only one attendent being at the front desk. I asked for a refrigerator for my room when booking my room for medical reasons and did not receive one free. Only one in room was under lock and key and would have to pay for the use of it. This is my second time at this hotel and will more likely be my last. .
The rooms are very spacious with 2 teenagers we have enough room to spread on a double bed room. We used their bikes and I had the time of our lives.
No free wifi and not thrilled about the resort fee.
The location and view from our room was real good, the room was real nice and modern
The price was a bit high
Location was the only good part.
Way too loud, unable to even sleep.people are out of control and there's no security to regulate the loudness.
My room didnot tie die up by management hotel. After we come back at night. Very bad
If your want to be loud and party come here. Not a good place for a solo traveler on business. I picked it because it was close to the convention center where I had a conference. Quick and inexpensive food places were it this area.
The staff was incredibly helpful and hospitable. There was a good vibe to the place. When we requested an additional mirror to the room, one of the staff members went out of her way to find us a full length mirror. I loved the options of being able to hook up an amplifyier to the room to jam on an electric guitar that the hotel can provide, or mix on a Tracktor.
The TV wasn't functioning properly, but the on staff engineer helped us work the audio system and was very helpful. We had 3 girls to a room, so an additional larger mirror outside of the bathroom is needed.
Staff was very friendly. The location was excellent and the room was excellent.
The construction going on was very loud and it looked very dirty as I got off the elevator. Tools and plastic were all over the hall. Construction was very loud and woke me up early in the morning. It is as inconvenient and for the price of the room was very disappointing. My stay wasn't as relaxing as I wanted it to be.
Theme Location: in the Gaslamp Quarter Night life
Price Parking value Despite having searched the hotel for the theme and the night life, the sound of the parties may disturb guests.
Close to the convention center.
There was no coffee in the rooms, and even though coffee was offered downstairs, not only was that inconvenient, but majority of the time there was NO coffee even made. Also, the layout of the Suite Bathroom was weird and not very private!
Extremely overpriced. Also stayed at Bayside Wyndham and it was half the price but much nicer.
Very convenient for the convention center, Gaslamp Quarter and tram. Room was clean and comfortable. Most (not all) of the staff on reception/concierge were friendly and helpful.
Reception area and corridors are a bit soul-less and gloomy. Although there is coffee available in the lobby, it would have been nice to have coffee-making facilities in the room. Charges for wi-fi should be included in room, not as a compulsory extra purchase.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
The mysteries of how VCs determine company value can be daunting to entrepreneurs. This uncertainty is due, in large part, to the uncertainty of the valuation process itself. From the VC Confidential blog, here is a glimpse of what that process looks like.
This tool guides the entrepreneur through the process of developing a preliminary forecast, which is used to judge the accuracy and reasonableness of financial figures prior to creating a detailed line-by-line budget.
VCs increasingly are leaving the industry to become entrepreneurs, yet despite their experience with funding startups, many of them are realizing just how challenging it can be to launch a successful business. The insights gained in entrepreneurship, in turn, provide them with a perspective on what it means to be on the andquot;other sideandquot; of the funding table.
Entrepreneurs pursuing venture funding will find useful information in this article. Guy Kawasaki offers insight into the venture capitalist mindset. His Venture Capital Aptitude Test could be used by the entrepreneur as a list of qualities for which to seek in a venture capitalist partner.
Along with this sample Balance Sheet for a year old business, this tool provides a line-by-line explanation of the most common categories used to report the value of the company's assets, liabilities, and equity.
Matt McCall posts about Sequoia Capital and how this VC firm describes the elements of sustainability they seek within the ventures they fund, such as clarity of purpose, large markets with rich customers, and focus.
Mohanjit Jolly, Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures, moderates a discussion between five VCs and Angel investors. The panel addresses key issues related to the funding process, including valuation, business plans, funder presentations, and strategies for accessing VCs.
While confusing to investors, mixing financial investments with philanthropic giving is a concept that is gaining ground. Good Capital is one organization collecting a portfolio of social enterprises and provides funding for their "social good" along with cash returns to their investors.
Serial entrepreneur Will Herman shares 11 best practices for working effectively with a Board of Directors, including determining support, maintaining focus and direction, communication tactics, incorporating the management team, and presentations.
The process venture capitalists go through to decide which entrepreneurial ventures to fund can be something of a mystery. Chicago-based VC, Matt McCall, provides a description of the qualities he looks for in the CEOs he backs, including resourcefulness, relentless determination, and creative thought.

Found this fix after I flashed a custom rom & lost my knock on feature. Hope it helps you guys, I didnt realise how much I used it till it didnt work.
How to access hidden menu on LG G2
3845#*802# (for International model)
3845#*801# (for T-Mobile)
3845#*800# (for AT&T)
5689#*980# (for Sprint )
Dial: ##228378 + send (Verizon)
Other models, please use 3845#*YOUR-MODEL-NUMBER#
Dial 3845#*802# > setting > update touch firmware

Toffees to land Bradford starlet
Everton have agreed a deal to land Bradford City starlet George Green, beating almost every Premier League club to his signature. The 15-year-old midfielder is regarded as one of the top prospects in the country, and a number of clubs have been tracking him. But now he is set to join the Toffees in a deal which could eventually rise to £2million. Bradford City's head of football development Archie Christie confirmed to the Telegraph & Argus that the deal had been agreed. "This is one of the highest deals ever for a 15-year-old from a League Two club," he said. "But George is the best I've seen in his position at his age. He could become another Wayne Rooney or Paul Gascoigne."

What would happen if I started building my IPA and APA recipes around a 60 minute boil and then a 20 minute steep after boil between 165 and 190 degrees? Of course, after this period i would cool the wort quickly as normal to prevent infection. I would still get a full 60 minute boil to give a good hot break and remove dms and other undesirables. I would still be adding all of my flavor and aroma additons to wort that was sterile because it would be over 160 degrees. Perhaps I would get a little extra flavor from the hops because the higher heat makes more of the volatile oils break down? Anybody else think this might be a good idea for an IPA?
I think thats the way flameout additions are supposed to be done. thats pretty much how i do them. I kill the heat then let it steep for 10+ minutes before i chill. i think its great for ipas. give it a try and see if you like it
It's a fantastic idea for an ipa or any other hoppy beer. Check out cybi Firestone walker union jack ipa podcast and the recipe- they go into great detail about a 30 minute whirpool/hop steep etc. Stone apparently only hops once in the kettle for bittering and then massively charges the whirpool with flameout hops for flavor and aroma. I've been doing it in all my hoppy ales. I move any and all additions from 10 min to 1 min to straight up whirpool hops. Here's how I do it. Flameout-->begin stirring of wort to whirpool and to slightly cool from rolling boil to just hot wort, maybe +- 1 min. total-->toss in flameout addition, cover kettle and let stand for 20 before turning on chiller. Ive been getting great results with this method and it's repeatable. Also, I tend to think knocking the boil out of the wort is important. You want a hot steep, but not a boil that might drive off of more volatiles..... At least that's what I think. Try it out for sure.
I did a black ipa that had 2 oz centennial at knockout. I believe I steeped for an hour. When I bottled it, the aroma pretty much filled my basement. I'll usually steep for a half hour to an hour, then start chilling.
I whirlpool after flame out for 20 minutes on all my beers before I start chilling. Flame out additions are more noticeable and actually mean something now.
This is common in the UK brewing industry, they call it a hop stand.
Yes, it does make sense. I tend to use low cohumulone hops at flame out for that reason. I do flame out hops and let it sit for 20 minutes then chill. Works well for more flavor/aroma. Just keep the lid tightly on the top of the kettle to keep oils from escaping with the steam too much.
''Once, I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken'' (Read that somewhere, just loved it. Sorry if I stole it...consider it a compliment) ''I don't allow work during drinking hours''

Sigma's early on were not well recieved, bad/'spongey' triggers with long pulls. Accuracy was OK but you'd never see one at a competition.
It was designed as a low cost firearm and marketed as an answer to the (then) new "wonder nines" comming out of Austria. Essentially you got what you paid for.
Now fast forward to the present.........A co-worker of mine just recently purchased a Sigma and he likes it. He got it for carry at his second job because he didn't want to have to refinish his Beretta again. Comparing it to his Beretta the Sigma still has a long trigger pull and is still spongey but not what they were a decade ago. I think it would be a satisfactory choice for what it's needed for.
Now, IMO and if at all possiable, get yourself another Glock 19. You have experience with it, it is still a very afforable sidearm with an excellent history to back it up. It's also easier to find holsters for.
All in all, whichever gun you choose, get it in 9mm. It is less expensive than the .40, easier to find, and is a very managable caliber as well as a viable, proven SD round.

First Ride: 2012 Scott Spark 26 and 29er
Dropouts with Options
6 / 9
Spark models come standard with the 142x12 thru-axle but thanks to modular dropouts, they can accommodate wheels with a 135x12 axle or standard QR in a matter of minutes. Oddly, front forks on all models will be outfitted with QR's instead of the now vogue QR15 thru axle. Given the thru-axle system's advantages, particularly on 29ers, it's one of the first upgrades I'd make.

Five best home-ice advantages
Updated: April 9, 2012, 12:25 AM ET
Pierre LeBrun | ESPN.com
1. Chicago Blackhawks
If you've been to a few playoff games at the United Center in Chicago over the past few years, you know it feels like it's 1-0 for the Blackhawks before the puck even drops thanks to anthem singer Jim Cornelison. If you've been living under a rock the last few years, here's what I'm talking about -- this anthem comes from Game 2 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals in Chicago.
Five Things For Postseason
• Five Conn Smythe candidates
• Five storylines to watch
• Five playoff traditions
• Five injuries with most impact
• Five rookies to watch
• Five top in-season acquisitions
• Five unlikely heroes
• Five players under most pressure
• Five excuses we'll hear
• Five goalies on hot seat
• Five best home-ice advantages
• Five players we'd love to see win
Home-ice advantage? You better believe it.
2. Philadelphia Flyers
The days of the nightly line brawls are long gone, but Philadelphia remains arguably the NHL's most intimidating place for a visiting team to play, especially come playoff time. Today's Flyers team is more about skill than brawn compared to their Broad Street Bullies days of the 1970s, but the fans remain an imposing lot.3. Detroit Red Wings
Well, you can't exactly ignore the team that broke the NHL's all-time mark with 23 straight home victories, right? And Joe Louis Arena is one of the few old barns left. It has unique characteristics, not the least of which is the tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice during the anthem. You better believe visiting players pay notice. The fans are right on you in this old building, and the Wings take full advantage of that atmosphere.4. Boston Bruins
Well, I guess you can ask the Vancouver Canucks to vouch for whether playing in Boston is any fun. The Canucks were destroyed in three games in Beantown during the 2011 Cup finals, which reinforced what a tough place it is to play in especially come playoff time. The Bruins are the NHL's toughest, most rugged team and that meshes well with a New England crowd that likes its hockey that way. All of which makes for an electric, and intimidating, atmosphere.5. Nashville Predators
OK, this is the wild card on the list, we know that. But this is among the loudest rinks in the league come playoff time. I mean, the fans here throw catfish on the ice! A surprising choice perhaps to have made this list, but the Preds love playing in the friendly confines of Bridgestone Arena and the place is going to rock this postseason.- Covers the NHL for ESPN.com and TSN in Canada

no wonder the recent lore has been better (in terms of sneak peaks and such)
Bro Mang
Interesting, as an amateur writer myself it's good to see that Riot actually hires specifically for their lore, something that can be easily sidestepped for a game such as League. My big question is what would you really want to do with League from a lore and story side that isn't being done currently?

Tatsu-no-su serves as the spaceport and primary transportation hub for Ryusei. This settlements is the main link between Asahikawa and the research outposts scattered around the planet.
灯台山 (Toudaiyama)
Population: 150
Established: 10,000
Toudaiyama is a research outpost located on the Toudaiyama (lighthouse mountain) peninsula. The place is named after the mountain sitting at the tip of the peninsula. The inhabitants are planning on constructing an observatory there.
火山境 (Kazankyo)
Population: 150
Established: 10,000
Kazankyo is a research outpost located near an active volcano chain. Analysts are currently establishing the feasibility of using the volcanoes to generate power.
中島 (Nakajima)
Population: 250
Established: 10,000
Nakajima is one of two research outposts situated on the island chain off the coast of the main continent. Nakajima is currently the largest research outpost. This is due to the partial evacuation of Umi-no-nai. In the wake of the incident at Umi-no-nai, most research at Nakajima has been put on hold. Most of the activity at Nakajima is on assisting the recovery efforts at the other outpost.
海内 (Umi-no-nai)
Population: 50
Established: 10,001
Umi-no-nao was intended to be the second research outpost on the same island chain as Nakajima. Unfortunately, the guidance systems for the drop pods malfunctioned during descent. One landed off course but still on the island. The other two pods landed off the coast - one in shallow waters, the other went far deeper. Survivors from the drowned pods have largely relocated to Nakajima. The remainder are currently working to salvage as much equipment from the drowned pods as possible.
Investigations into what caused the malfunctions are still ongoing.

About the book:
This book examines genres as instances of social processes, enacting a range of important institutional practices, hence also shaping people's subjectivities. Genres represent purposive and staged ways of building means in a culture. The book's particular claim to originality is that, using systemic functional grammar, it demonstrates how given genres build or enact social practice, how educational setting provide contexts in which some apprenticeship into such genres occurs, and how theorizing about such matters helps build a theory of social action, revealing how powerful is the systemic functional analysis in addressing questions concerning the social construction of reality. The discussion is built around extensive analysis of instances of texts collected in a number of worksites and school settings

Are any of the other PPC programs doing this?
Is this legal?
Yes, Adsense. They don't allow other contextual advertisers on the same page. But, that's of course, for publishers. I can't see them doing it for advertisers. That's kinda ... petty. But a valid business condition.
It was a really interesting email from Kandoodle
It's great in the short term, but eventually the AdSense bubble will burst or Google will ask publishers not to buy traffic in this way, and then Kanoodle will end up worse off then they were before.
This is not forced traffic / but real.
This is like saying they don't want you to run an ad in the NY Times to promote your site
If google doesn't say the same they sure should. If people start buying crap traffic to send through to G/Y! paid results - I, as an advertiser, would flip!
I already opt out of the contextual options at google and overture because of the lower quality of traffic and flat out abuse of Adsense and the OVTR context ads.
People buying traffic from Findwhat, kanoodle, ePilot, Mamma, Quepasa, etc to generate G clicks would be the nail in the coffin for Adsense.
The big boys need to do everything they can to protect the advertisers from crappy clicks. Exposure to crappy traffic will drive more and more advertisers to opt out/bid lower. Ultimately ruining adsense for the publishers as well.
It is hard to believe it is/would be profitable at all. E.g. buying a click for $0.05 and selling it at $0.20 you would have to have pretty high CTR of 25% just to break even.

Cops gone crazy.............. Maybe you liberals are right about the Cops, Dale McAlpine was charged with causing "harassment, alarm or distress" after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of "sins" referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships. The 42-year-old Baptist, who has preached Christianity in Wokington, Cumbria for years, said he did not mention homosexuality while delivering a sermon from the top of a stepladder, but admitted telling a passing shopper that he believed it went against the word of God. Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin - Telegraph
I'm pretty sure even the most liberal of Americans don't really talk all that much about what cops in The UK do or do not do. It's really none of our business, is it? Nor does it concern us all that much. I'm unsure why it bothers you.
One can't be arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin. That's just plain stupidity at it's finest. Now, what the preacher said was stupid, but he certainly has the right to state his opinion in public. The guy will get off without a finding...as he should. Just because this happened in the UK, doesn't change anything and only an idiot would believe it does.
Maybe in America he would, yeah. But this didn't happen in America. Pesky little detail, I know. Damn things those little details - just a-ruinin' and a-wastin' all this rightous indignation.

How Do I Set Up Payment Gateways? (payflow, authorize.net)
The current version of Magento is integrated with the 2 leading payment gateways, Payflow Pro and Authorize.net. As with all the other payment options you can set up payment gateways by going to System -> Configuration and selecting Payment Methods from the left navigation.
You could theoretically set up both gateways, but most merchants will only need to set up one. Let's look at Authorize.net first.
As with most elements, you will want to make sure the Enabled dropdown is set to Yes in order to display the option on the frontend. You can then edit the title which is how the method will appear to the customer on the payment page.
You will then need to enter your API Login ID and Transaction Key in order to integrate the site with your Authorize.net account. You can find this information in your Account Settings in the Authorize.net account. You can select whether you want customers' cards only to be authorized on checkout, or whether the customers' cards will be captured simultaneously on checkout.
You can then set up the status you want the orders placed with this method to be created with. In this example we have the orders set to be created with a status of Processing.
The next dropdown allows you to specify whether you want the site to be in Test or Live mode. Before you take your site live you will want to make sure you set this dropdown to No.
The Gateway URL for where Magento sends order information to Authorize.net comes prepopulated. The Debug dropdown determines whether all requests between Magento and Authorize.net will be saved in the Magento database.
The next dropdown allows you to specify whether you want Authorize.net to send emails to your customers on the completion of checkout. This dropdown Does Not influence the transactional emails sent from Magento, only the emails sent from your Authorize.net account.
If want Authorize.net to also send emails to you, the Store Owner, you will need to enter the email address associated with your account in the Merchant's Email field.
You can determine which types of Credit Cards you will accept, and whether or not your customers will be required to enter a Card Verification number during checkout.
As with all Payment Methods, you can set the countries and order amount filters, to determine which custoemrs will be allowed to use this Payment Method. Finally you can set the sort order of Authorize.net in relation to the other payment methods offered.
As always, remember to select Save Config and you will be set up to accept credit cards using your Authorize.net account.
Payflow Pro is set up in much the same way as Authorize.net. Enter your account information, set the Enabled status to Yes, enter the Title, payment action, and new order status. Magento will prepopulate several of the other fields as well, configured for the ideal use of this Payment Method. Set your filters and the position you want to display the Payflow option to your customers with.
