Remember Me
"The crux of all of it is this is a good country full of a lot of good people. Every once in a while there's one guy that gets in there and spoils it for everybody. There were a lot of people who thought [George W. Bush] was great but then things started to fall apart, same as the last one. Bill Clinton was amazing for our economy, and I'm sure there's a whole contingency of fat chicks in America that feel special," says Mustaine. "Look at what the Bush administration is doing. Do you really think we need to be getting most of our oil from the Middle East when there's enough oil up in Alaska for the U.S. to survive on? Why won't we drill? I remember them saying they didn't want to drill because of the caribou. Well, you know what I say? Shake 'n' bake. Caribou tastes like pork [laughs]."

"It was an important record for us because a lot of people were wondering where we'd go after The System Has Failed (2004). [Abominations] just picked up this anti-U.N. sentiment. It was written during the period of the recent Lebanese/Israeli flare-up and the second installment of the Iraq War brought to you by the Bush family, Haliburton and whatnot," says Mustaine. "You've got all the nations of the world able to apply spin to the grievances they commit and that has nothing to do with the charter of the United Nations. Most people just go about their business and don't worry about it as long as it doesn't take anything out of their pocket. The reason I got upset with the U.N. was there was a Russian diplomat that came to the States and allegedly ran a stop sign and killed an American. Nothing happened to him, nothing, [because of] diplomatic immunity. The guy didn't even have to get any kind of counseling for his alcoholism. He just went back to Russia. If we went over to Russia and ran a stop sign while drunk and killed somebody we'd still be peeling potatoes."
The intensity and aggression of United Abominations speaks to a through line that begins with their 1985 debut, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good, which contained ominous titles like "Skull Beneath The Skin" and "Looking Down The Cross" but also a cheeky reinvention of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots," a sign of their good humor amidst the sturm und drang. Mustaine has sustained a sense of smart anger for over 25 years, mostly taking shots at targets that richly deserve it, while always maintaining an intrinsic love of playing music. There's actually a lot of joy and light to this candidate for "Rock's Angriest Man."
"I appreciate that, and I know there's tongue-in-cheek to that observation. I'm not vilifying everyone that's been in office but a lot of people called public servants don't have the slightest idea what a public servant is. They may have started out well but somewhere along the line the pandering took over and compromised their integrity. They take that one last spoonful of caviar that breaks the camel's back and they become corrupt, bigoted politicos," observes Mustaine. "In America, there are better people to run for President of the United States than George Bush or John Kerry but as soon as anyone runs for the presidency they dig up dirt on them. If I ever ran you would immediately know about everyone I ever rolled a joint with or took my clothes off with. It's enough to scare anyone who wants to run. Do you think George Washington would have done it if he'd known they'd be rooting through his underwear for the next 200 years? He would have probably said, 'I'm going back to England. Cheerio, pip pip and fuck off [laughs].'"

-Dave Mustaine
"Gigantour is based on the idea of having really talented guys. Children of Bodom's Alexi [Laiho] is a guitar wunderkind. I'd heard about In Flames when I was at a festival in Europe and saw them in Japan in 2006. Job For A Cowboy and High On Fire were recommended by our agents and I listened and liked them," says Mustaine. "There's not the usual guitar 'shredsmanship' with High On Fire but they've got a lot of energy. So, where it's kind of counter to the Gigantour philosophy of 15-fingered guitar players, I think when you listen to bands like that it continues the beauty and premise of Gigantour, which is to introduce people to different kinds of bands and have a festival like in Europe. Most festivals in the States have the same band ten times with a different name and a different backdrop. They sing the same and sound the same. That's a snore fest."
"I went to Europe for a festival one time and it changed my perspective. It was in Scandinavia and it was Faith No More, R.E.M., Oasis, Sheryl Crow, Bo Diddley and Megadeth. It's so unbelievably diversified that it attracts so many different people with different backgrounds. Granted, overseas people handle it better. In the States there'd be hecklers and shit talkers and people who are going to try and ruin it for someone else. I'm not talking about Gigantour having such a diverse lineup. It's all metal but there's a lot of different types, which is refreshing."
You'd be hard pressed to find two more different metal bands than Megadeth and Sweden's Opeth, who shared the stage on Gigantour 2006, which also included Lamb of God, Arch Enemy and Overkill. The 2007 edition included Static X, Devildriver and Italy's goth monsters Lacuna Coil, whose lead singer, Cristina Scabbia duets with Mustaine on Abominations' "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)," where the pair sings in French. No "Freedom Fries" bullshit here. There's an underlying continuity to Gigantour, and it's a credit to Mustaine's ears and instincts that he keeps putting together a synchronistic assortment of bands each year that showcase metal's continuing evolution as well as celebrating its past.
"Megadeth has been around for a really long time, and it's not because I won't go away. In fact, there's been times where the thought of me going away has been all I could think of. But the public has made it clear to me that they still appreciate the work I do. Establishing Gigantour has made it even more fun for me to be a musician. I can now enjoy a lot of the flavor and fruit that's been produced. I'm booking a festival where I'm giving young bands an opportunity to come play with me. Gigantour is not like 'Dave Fest' like Ozzfest. It's something that can continue on whether Megadeth is on it or not," comments Mustaine, whose band has toured in recent years with Heaven And Hell (aka Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio singing) and other heavyweights besides the Gigantour. "There's still a couple things I'd like to do. I've talked about doing something for our troops overseas, perhaps a broadcast performance from a secret location on a military base here in the States for the men and women who are protecting our rights and freedoms. I wouldn't mind doing one of those corporate gigs where you do a concert for one kid for his birthday, where he gets a Big Wheel and there's snot gurgling out of his nose and I'm playing 'Holy Wars' [laughs]."

I Don't Play To Win, I Play For Blood
In just the opening minutes of any Megadeth show, one picks up on the feeling that there's nowhere Mustaine is happier than onstage causing a roiling crowd of fist-pumpers to lose their minds.
Even a casual look at Megadeth's artwork on their albums, t-shirts, website, etc. reveals an intricate, well thought out landscape. This type of big conceptual scale is a major but often unspoken factor in metal's tribe building. There's an iconography and imagery that creates distinctive worlds that help build a community around these bands.
"It's a facet that's overlooked by most bands because they don't work closely with their merchandise line. I don't think they realize what they can create internally for fans. It's another layer to the music, and with the industry imploding – and I try not to gloat about many of these record companies getting what they have coming to them – ultimately, we don't have a lot of places to generate revenue anymore outside of the live arena," Mustaine says. "With people just ripping and ripping and ripping stuff, we live in a generation that looks at getting songs over the Internet for free. There are people who respect bands and pay but there's a whole generation that doesn't pay. Once you embrace that and you're okay with the idea of records being calling cards then you make a great record, you go out and tour and you give people what they want. We have a great new guitar player right now [Chris Broderick] and we're doing fantastic. It was almost like falling upward when [guitarist] Glen Drover quit. It's almost like more than new blood, we were on a dialysis machine and just had a bunch of veins replaced, too [laughs]."
The intimacy Megadeth has with their listeners may surprise some people. Like many metal acts, there's a closeness with fans that those outside the genre are almost entirely unaware of.
"It's almost an inside joke. No, that's not right. Maybe it's more like a secret handshake. My dad was a Mason, and it's a very secret club and a lot of these fans are incredulous when you say, 'If you leave a message for Dave on his Live Line number he'll hear it.' And that's true of the whole band. In April when we launch the new Live Line we'll also start responding to these messages. The thing with this band, in particular, is we've always been very interactive with our fans. We were one of the first bands to have a website," says Mustaine. "At the end of the day, if I didn't take care of myself there's not a lot of people that would do it for me. You have a working relationship with people you trust like the Eagle's Nest, my management company, but there's other people who will say they're working for you but really they're just highly skilled liars. They could give a shit about you. In the end, if you have a great band and you make great records and play great live, that's all you need to do. The fans will respond. If you honor God, take care of your family, get out on the road and don't be a dick then people will know about you and want to come and see you."
JamBase | Ground Zero
Go See Live Music!
I love Megadeth. Countdown to Extinction is an awesome album.
born again fool...i love megadeth when i was a kid...but know he's done so much H he found jesus..i guess that's why i don't believe in jesus...haven't tapped the vain...
The guy doesn't seem like much of an environmentalist. He seems very Ted Nugent-ish. Why was he kicked out of Metallica again?
the only time I "saw" Megadeth, I was saved by Primus. Primus sucks but so does Megadeth (literally). Maybe Dave will make a special guest appearance and reunite with Metallica at Bonnaroo....
lmfao^ so they can suck together
I gotta say Jambase covering these different genres is a GENIUS survival technique to survive in the eye of the storm that is the music biz. Look at Alexa.com any site specifically having to do with "jam bands" has declined since Phishes decline post Big Cypress, why are fests like Roo and Langerado just getting bigger, because the are "selling out" i.e being smart, and opening up to lots of different genres and musical tastes. at the same time these festivals still honor their jamband roots and so does jambase, in fact i would like to see more diversity on jambase, it can only help it grow, and keep our culture alive, thriving and kept from being pushed to the wayside
oh and theres lots of good kinds of music out there besides hour long spacejams, being a head i can say that intelligently.
the relation to the fans seems like good old fashion Grateful Dead/ Jamband communal ethic
Fuckin' A.
I would love to hear him play an album with Metallica again... Maybe he would make Metallica not suck again.
I seen them once.. I liked it.
peace sells, but whos buying?? sickness........
and yes diversity on jambase.. get used to it.. its more than jam.. ok?
look in a relix mag now. look at bonnaroo. look look. all inclusive is the new deal now.. peace sells..
The name is JAMbase not METALbase. If I wanted diversity I would use pollstar.
This is almost as bad as the listings for the "american idol" tour that show up here.
Old Megadeath rocks and so does old Metallica, they're still musical geniuses. I think it's nice Dave found God, I'd rather see somebody happy with life, than running around trying to be dark and evil.
Megadeath fuckin blows, and so does anybody who listens to them.
That first page is full of the most ignorant crap I ever heard come out of a person's mouth, besides the crap that my redneck white trash extended family says. Hmmm, maybe there is a correlation.
MEGA meaning Many!, Deth meaning Death!, What a riot! I love old metal dudes, they rule. I also abhor close minded bong hitters who complain about non-jambands being on this website. Why even look at the article, then? Go read about the Shit Cheese Incident or something, or some one chord for 20 minutes band.
ya know I don't think the point is whether Megadeath blows, rules, sucks, rocks, whatever.....it's whether or not Jambase should be covering metal on a website that was supposed to be dedicated to jam music. The fact is JAMBASE SUCKS. And it's really a shame. I used to be pretty deadicated to this site before the big format change, appealing to the least common denominator. Now I have to weed through rap, metal and various other genres of artists to find out who's going to be playing where when in the jam scene. I'm trying to switch over to jambands.com, at least they stay on topic, but unfortunately they don't list tour dates. So I'm only going on this site until I find another viable alternative. As soon as I do you can bet I won't be logging on to this site again.
Always sucks to see a good thing get fucked up.
Mustaine rules! I do wonder about the 24 and O'Reilly Factor though...
Ha, "Well, you know what I say? Shake 'n' bake. Caribou tastes like pork."
God he does sound like a huge redneck but that doesn't mean he can't wail on the guitar. If you guys need another laugh you should check out the Hanger 18 video, it's awful to the point that the insane guitar solo doesn't even make up for it.
Does anybody remember the Megadeath show at Woodstock 99? The galloping dancer and the fires breaking out???
Dave is such an idiot. He makes fun of American fests, then lauds on European fests for their DIVERSITY, then mentions how his Gigantor tour is akin to a European fest only to list metal bands that anyone not a fan would say all sound the same.
I still smile when I think about him crying to the Metallica guys in "Some Kind of Monster."
Loser metal head with the political views of a 14 year old.
richromeo you seem like a pretty one dimensional person and kind of a douche. I found another viable alternative for you it's called www.closemindedOLDhippies.com. Go somewhere else!
There is more to the musical universe than 20-minute extended crunchy grooves. What's wrong with expanded horizons? I'm not a metal fan, but I think it's fantastic that the scope is expanding, and I think Dennis adeptly illustrates all the reasons why an open mind is more effective. Why get your panties in a twist just because some people like different things than you do? Nice job, Snappy.
Mustaine is the biggest most arrogant prick in music. The best thing he's done was cry like a baby to Lars Ulrich in Metallica's documentary "Some Kind of Monster".
"I play for blood." What a douchebag.
Hey Shmo-Kin, those are some great comments from someone who enjoys having their ears pissed in by hookah.
this is jambase.... who gives a shit about this guy again?
megadeath was cool in sixth grade, anyone with a brain knows they suck, anyone with a brain also doesnt watch o'reilly factor. ive had the"displeasure" of seeing them live and it was fuckin awful. i thought you guys were here to cover good fuckin bands
dave muff-stain
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
hey shmo-kinn! Isn't it kinda ironic that you bust me for being OLD (your caps) to support your love of an "old" band and right after leaving comments about how "old" Metallica and "old" Megadeath are geniuses? Who's the douche again? Good guess I am kinda old, but not as old as Dave Mustaine....FYI, I bought Peace Sells back when it first hit the record stores, still think Wake Up Dead is an awesome tune, was seeing Metallica before Cliff Burton died and they started making music videos, and cut my teeth on metal, which I still listen to. Point is there's plenty of websites out there already that try to cover the entire music scene, but what's wrong with having one dedicated to just the jam scene, like jambase used to be and the name still kinda infers? A little niche marketing? When I want to know what's up in jam I want a site that'll tell me just that. If I want to know a little bit about all kinds of different popular music I'll go to Rolling Stone or pollstar or myspace or MTV or Billboard or VH1 or Topix or Starpulse or even E! entertainment fer god's sake.
"What do you like to do to relax while touring: Study, focus on my health, lurk on the forums"
focus on health? HAHAHAHA more like shoot up mad H. and he loves those speedballs too. its true, everyone knows
You can all rip on Mustaine all you want, but at least he did something with his life. Sure he did a ton of drugs, but he got to be a touring musician in a band that made good money and we're all here talking about here. He must have done something right. So everyone just shut the F*CK UP! LIKE HIM OR NOT HE'S MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN YOU!
Please...stick to speaking about music and "fat chicks and hummers"..."shake and bake"...now there's a thoughtful energy policy. Glad to know you're not a W supporter, even if you are dumb, Dave.
Clash of the Titans Tour via 1990 or 91
Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer and Alice in Chains
This tour freaking killed. I was 17 and loved every minute of it.
One thing: If there is anything that sucks about Jambase, it is REGISTERED MEMBERS who log in to read stories that don't pertain to their musical tastes, only to debase the music, the writers of the stories, the comments of the subject matter and the website itself. There are an awful lot of people who have something to say about what is negative about the music scene today. It is true. The scene is riddled with negativity. You want something to think of, though? What war has been ended by flying overhead and dropping more bombs?
babypaste. shut the hell up :)
listen motherfuckers. I am a registered member who wishes I could see more stuff to read about jam bands. I read the article to see if there was anything entertaining at all. Oh, its a little entertaining, but I feel all the dumber for reading it. I hated dave mustain in the day. I was a metallica fan.. ride the lightning, jump in the fire, master of puppets,,, they all kicked ass. I thought Dave mustain was a self indulgent douche then. I was hoping this article would change my mind. It didnt. At all. I grew out of metallica, and I thought the rest of the country did too. I was in friggin junior high. I was kinda hoping this guy had died, but here he is... on my beloved jam base. I used to be able to come here and see intelligent commentary on my favorite bands. Now some metalhead is making decisions about what jam base is? You might as well include all bands in all genres if this isnt for JAM BANDS. I like blues bands better than 80's metal. Why dont you cover the blues bands?
my advice? lose a little advertising money and go back to the old format. This isnt a democracy, we dont need to include everyone.
This was jambase.
"Special thanks to Metallica for proving the true blood of metal runs through (their) veins"
If you are not interested in the band, dont read. How are you going to decide which bands get coverage and which ones do not? Get over yourselves. I, for one, would like to see some sort of tagging system for the bands on the live show search page. I used to be able to pick a random band that I'd never heard of and go check them out. But a couple of times I wasted money on a band that I thought definitely wasn't "Jam". One turned out to be damn near speed metal. We have all different sorts of sub cultures in this scene: bluegrass, southern rock, electronica, jazz, blues, etc. etc. Some sort of tagging system on the Live Show page would help. Clicking on the bands info link has been a little help, but not much.
MUFF-STAIN hahaahaha
From now on, whenever i want to learn about the United Nations and American oil reserves in Alaska, I will turn to Dave Mustaine. I mean, that guy really seems to be a sensible fella with his head on straight. Not like those other rockers who drift through life in a opiate fog without ever stopping to do something useful like go to Alaska to map oil fields or do in-depth character studies of the Russian diplomatic envoy. Hey, I'm sure Mustaine never drove drunk or incited riots and rape, so he certainly is someone to listen to, not just in matters of music but in all of life.
i'm not a big megadeath fan, but after the reading the article he seems like an o.k. guy. i'm also glad he found jesus and isn't dark and evil like a lot of heavy metal. i'm also with him about not buying saudi oil, i mean why support a country that promotes a religion that teaches to hate and kill us. i'd rather drill in alaska then make those guys richer.
Its been said before and I must repeat, if you don't like the band, don't read the article and then further waste your time crying about it.
I love music. All different kinds of it, I am glad that Jambase does an article on Megadeth once in a blue moon. Theres tons of shit to sift through, so why not let it go so some of us can enjoy our rare glimpse into the (non)genius of Dave Mustaine.
"If you honor God, take care of your family, get out on the road and don't be a dick then people will know about you and want to come and see you."
Don't be a dick? What do you call Dave supporting Bush in 2004. But it seems as though he's come to realize his mistake and maybe even grown up a bit from the early days of Megadeth when he was a giant dick. It's no wonder why he's the only original member of Megadeth, The O'Reilly Factor? I guess he's still got a lot of growing up to do. But when you put your views out there there's always the risk of pissing off elitists pricks like myself who actually understand politics and how bad we're being fucked by the religious extremists who have overtaken our government. What would Jesus have done after 9/11 Dave? Ever heard of "love your enemies?" If you're a true Christian you have to be against all wars, or you're just a giant hypocrite. After all, in most wars you try to kill your enemies. Where I come from love and kill are not too similar. I'm a lifelong Megadeth fan and when it comes down to it, I respect anyone overall who has the balls to say when they really think, even if it is stupid.
Mustaine a patriot? Aren't patriots the ones who hold the despot's to their original promises, the ones who defend the tenets of democracy and liberty against the wages of tyranny? Dave is just another willing subject. How did the meaning of a word so closely related to fighting for freedom come to mean not disagreeing with the dominant fascist government under threat of incarceration, torture or death?

FIFA: World Cup qualifying is clean of fixing
Updated: April 5, 2013, 3:39 PM ETAssociated Press
ZURICH -- FIFA's top investigator believes the 2014 World Cup qualifying program has been clean of match-fixing after more than 500 matches.
"Up to now we don't have any leads that any match has been thrown," FIFA security director Ralf Mutschke told The Associated Press on Friday. "We are also confident that nothing will happen through the qualification."
The full program of about 820 preliminary matches ends in November.
Hours before Mutschke spoke at a FIFA-sponsored conference ...

The Sardinia region
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia.
From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia's got a little something for everyone.
Tresnuraghes is a very quiet traditional town which has many local specialty shops to discover, it has three local bars all very welcoming and most evenings the town folk will gather to catch up on the local gossip.
For those who have not yet been to Bosa in Sardinia, you will have a welcome suprise in store. Just 45 mins South of Alghero this is a more traditional and less commercialised town also benefiting from being less expensive, than Alghero.
Bosa is situated in the Planargia flatlands on the Northwest coast; to get there you can drive along the panoramic road from Alghero, where you will find many little coves to stop and enjoy the scenery.
Bosa Marina beach is a long and deep stretch of sand and is very well served with all tourist facilities, pedalo and rubber dinghy hire, jet-ski and even a windsurfing club. There are also many bars on and off the beach, hotels and lovely restaurants where you can enjoy the local cuisine based on fish and seafood accompanied by a glass of the Malvasia, Bosa's lovely wine

"A clean and fully equipped house."
We rented Bel Giardino (1 week) in July/August. The house was clean and fully equipped. It comes with a small but very nice garden were we had our breakfasts and BBQs. The kids loved the Xbox and the DVD movies (perfect after a day at the beach). The bedrooms were nice with drawers, wardrobes and comfortable beds. We had our doubts about the location but I must say it was just perfect - no traffic, 10min to the beach, walking distance to the bar/cafe/butcher/restaurant/bank/shops/supermarkets. If you like to BBQ, then you have to visit the local butcher (you will find the direction in the "Guest Information" pamphlet).
You have two nearby beaches, Port Alabe and Bosa Marina. We preferred the first one with clear water and nice spots to go snorkelling. Bosa Marina is more "touristic" with restaurants and bars at the beach.

College students should consider health care options
CORPUS CHRISTI - A few semesters ago I observed a classmate with a nearly obsessive devotion to hand sanitizer.
She kept a huge vat of it at her computer desk, one in her purse and a small one hanging from her book bag. What gives with all the sanitizer, I asked.
"I don't have insurance and can't afford to get sick," she said.
About 23 percent of all U.S. college students are uninsured, according to the American Medical Association, and the consequences of not having coverage can be considerably costly.
Universities typically offer low-cost health care on campus for treating basic problems, a service that in large part is covered by student fees, though students still may end up paying small fees for certain procedures or medication.
For students with private health insurance — many younger than 25 can continue coverage under parents' health care plans — campus clinics frequently don't bill private insurance, meaning students (and parents) are stuck footing the bill, albeit a small one.
I thought about this last week when Gov. Rick Perry vetoed legislation that would have required universities with an enrollment of 20,000 or more to bill private insurers. It also would have required those universities to sponsor student health insurance plans from the top three largest insurance providers, with at least one option being a high-deductible plan.
Proponents said billing private insurance would help defray the cost of university health care by several million dollars, while critics said it would create more costs that would get passed along to students to help pay for billing services.
I bring this up only because in next few months students will be off to college and health care is something to think about. Some universities offer health care plans for students able to shell out more than $1,000 a year for coverage. An additional thousand dollars may seem like a heavy burden with the already high cost of tuition, fees, books, room and board, but consider the consequences.
Last year an uninsured friend (and a student at a local university) became ill with what he thought was a cold but developed quickly into an emergency, the kind many campus clinics aren't able to handle.
He ended up going to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. Seven months later, he is still trying to pay his bills — tough to do if you're a recent college graduate who just started working.
The lesson here is one many know too well. Health care is astonishingly expensive and many in college can't afford it. While campus clinics provide a low-cost option for health services, they can't handle everything.
If students can afford it, a university-sponsored plan isn't a bad idea. But if they can't, it's time for universities to consider an alternative.
Until then, hand sanitizer and a prayer will have to do.

We proposed to use data mining to identify LINE-1 (L1) characteristics that were associated with gene expression in bladder cancer. The data were collected from L1Base and GSE3167. The memory-efficient data structure called FP-Tree was employed to enumerate all frequent item sets. The frequent item sets were then used to produce rules for predicting "down regulation" and "not down." Each rule was assigned a p-value by means of Chi-square test. No statistically significant rules for "down" had been found, in contrast 692 rules for "not down" were significant with odd ratios ranging from 1.68 to 1.98. All the significant rules were concentrated only in 20 characteristics. We were able to infer the L1 characteristics that down-regulated genes. Those characteristics were number of L1 elements in host genes, full-length intactness, number of CpG islands, conserved 5'UTR and mutated ORF2.

I have to lay people off (while hiring). Help me be a good human.
I am a new boss at a small company and our business model recently changed. I have to hire about 10 new people — and layoff about 10 current staffers. The moves are to bring on the new skills we need for this new era. How can I do this kindly, respectfully, and in a way that sets up the team members who are staying with us for success after this rough period? [more inside]
How long can I wait on a job offer?
I recently interviewed for two tenure track positions in a STEM field at two local community colleges. The one I want less is probably going to make a decision first. How long can I ask them to wait? [more inside]
I'm pretty sure I'm unemployable. Hope me?
I'm so incredibly tired of using up questions on this topic, but I need a fill-up on motivation and ideas about where to go from here. You'll know from seeing previous questions of mine that I've been looking for my first job for the better part of two years now. I've received wonderful advice each and every time, but I never really started putting it to good use until about six months ago ( depression, ADD, etc etc). The problem? It's been six. damn. months. and I haven't gotten so much as a call or an email back. From anywhere. What am I doing wrong, what reasons are there to keep trying, and how do I keep myself from going insane when it feels like all my resumes, cover letters and emails end up being sucked into a black hole? [more inside]
Should I try to recruit a former classmate?
I was looking up old school acquaintances online recently, and found the LinkedIn profile of a classmate from grad school. She's got just the resume my team desperately needs (MVC web development, natural language processing) and I know she's very smart. But I never knew her that well in school, and mostly remember her because of the secret crush I had on her back then. Would it be okay to email her about the open position at my company? [more inside]
I'm Not (that kind of) Quitter!
My most recent position is not ideal, and it's time to move on. How best should I phrase my departure and, if you were a hiring manager, what would you want to hear? Snowflakes inside. [more inside]
How do I tactfully ask what a job pays?
I have a situation where I interviewed for another position within the company where I am employed, I got a positive response and the hiring manager has told me he is going to work through some details with HR before he can give me a definite yes - problem is, I'm still not sure what the new position pays. [more inside]
Give your best visual guess about a job candidate's ethnicity
As part of my friend's job, she was asked to give a visual guess of a job candidate's ethnicity. She felt uncomfortable doing so, and has questions about it. [more inside]
Best sources on hiring issues in tech
After attending the first-ever Staffup Weekend in San Francisco, I've got a 3000-word assignment to write the best piece ever about whether the tech hiring system is broken and if Staffup Weekend is any kind of solution. Who should I interview? [more inside]
Job interviews, timing, etiquette, and not shooting myself in the foot
One company wants to hire me now. Another might, or might not, but they move slowly. I'm more interested in the latter but am definitely interested in both. How do I navigate this without pissing people off, burning bridges, or ending up with zilch? [more inside]
Job fair etiquette
I've spent a fair bit of time in the working world, and a fair bit of time at academic conferences, but never been to a job fair before. I'm going to this thing this afternoon, as a job seeker. Explain to me like I'm five what I should do once I'm there. [more inside]
How can I get college students excited about working for my company?
I'm writing a presentation to give to college and grad students at the University of Michigan in order to get them excited about working for the software company I work for in Seattle, Washington. What sort of things should I focus on to set our company apart? [more inside]
Forgot to mention something important at job interview -- what now?
I just had a job interview for a job I really want that went really well. So well that I forgot to mention something kind of important: I started a part-time retail job between applying and hearing back about the interview (it was almost a month and I've been unemployed since May, so needed something to pay the bills) that I'd have to give notice at, but I'd hopefully be able to get shifts covered. I haven't had any direct e-mail contact with the person who interviewed me, only with the administrative assistant. They would want me to start ASAP. I'll probably be going in for a second interview sometime next week. How and when do I mention this? More important, how and when do I mention this in a way that isn't going to ruin my chances of getting this job?
Hiring via Paid Tryouts
I've been reading about the practice of finding the right candidates by using auditions, tryouts, trial work periods, etc. (See for example this.) [more inside]
Hiring a programmer for a clinical project?
I'm working with a professor of medicine, and she has a clinical decision algorithm that needs to be turned into a website with a database backend. We need to find a person. [more inside]
Help me help them!
I'm an assistant manager now. I want to be a manager, and there will be job openings in a month or so. What can I do to increase my chances of getting promoted? [more inside]
What is the NIH job application process and timeline like?
I'm a nurse practitioner in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (4 years experience), and I'm applying for jobs at the National Institutes of Health. I've had one prompt and enthusiastic response, but I've heard nothing from the rest, so I have a few questions about NIH's hiring process and timeline. [more inside]
The job interview follow-up++
What is and is not acceptable to include in job interview follow-up emails? Difficulty level: I'm literally in the middle of a project with them right now. [more inside]
Fly little birdies, fly!
Have you ever ran an incubator team as part of a larger engineering organization? Wild speculation invited! [more inside]
Tech hiring mystery
I'm trying to solve a mystery. Let's say it's a friend of a friend.. He's got some.. kind of.. tech certification and for several months has reported to her (while borrowing money from her) that he's been interviewing for jobs. He reports the same story each time.. several times a month.. that he interviews, interviews with the HR department, then their tech manager and sometimes a CEO gets throw in there... and then without fail, nobody calls him back once he interviews at a certain level. She's not remotely tech savvy and continues to loan him money. Is the market really so strained that this is possible? Does this happen a lot? She's cut him off, but.. curious.
Should the office be in Portland, Boulder, Salt Lake City or N'awlins?
Company is looking to open an office in Portland, Boulder, Salt Lake City, or New Orleans. What is it like to hire programmers and designers there? What is the talent pool like? What do people get paid? [more inside]
Academic Job Dilemma: My PI screwing me over?
I have a staff position in academic research. I received a verbal job offer two and a half weeks ago for a higher position in a different lab, and I gave notice to my current PI (my boss) immediately. I haven't gotten the official job offer yet, and I think my PI might cause me to lose the offer... Also, I'm kind of just freaked out in general and need some fresh eyes. Am I freaking over nothing, or is trouble brewing here? [more inside]
Alternative to resignation? Want to move but not harm career.
I live in a smallish (Canadian) city an hour outside of a large city. I moved for work four years ago, and for a variety of reasons am feeling an increasing urgency to move back to the Big City. I am trying to figure out ways to do this, weighing my options, and am curious if anyone has any suggestions, or can point out repercussions of each option I hadn't considered? [more inside]
Being the yesman for privately funded project, how can I make this work?
I work at a non profit and have been running an internship program for two years. It is funded annually, but on no set schedule. I am prevented from insisting on a schedule or requiring a reasonable gap between funding date and start date. I am expected to just pull the program together within weeks of the donation being received. With a vague start date and no selection schedule, how do I advertise and maintain a pool of candidates? Please help me come up with a creative solution! [more inside]
How do we contractor?
We are buying a house -yay! But the house needs renovation work done - eek! While we have previously owned a house, it was 10 years ago, in another state, and never had any major renovations. We are scheduled to close on April 30, so we are trying to figure out what kinds of professionals we need and how to find/hire them. [more inside]
How do I turn down a job candidate after an extended interview process?
I run a small organization, just a few employees, and I am close to filling one of our open positions. What is the etiquette for breaking the bad news to an unsuccessful job candidate who has patiently participated in a drawn-out interview process? [more inside]

How do I hire a Predictive Analytics expert?
I'd like to hire a full time person who can use data mining and predictive analytics to steer our fundraising strategy. Only problem is I'm clueless. [more inside]
How do I find a "real" tech job?
My workplace is in a decline, and I think it's time for me to explore other options. I'm a programmer at heart, an architect and team leader in practice, and a manager in name. Prior to this job I'd had really soul-crushing experiences in consulting, so (for example) I am experienced with but extremely cynical about capital-E "Enterprise" platforms and technologies. I don't want to go back to that world; I want to find a company and a team with a spark of life to it and people with the incentives to help each other out. What's the best way to filter for tech job opportunities that won't sink me back into the muck? [more inside]
Migraines and hospital night shift mitigation
My friend is in nursing, working in an ER right now, and also finishing up a degree to be a nurse practitioner, with intention to work in a hospital emergency dept. She suffers from migraines, and whenever she's worked a nightshift, she's been hit with a terrible one at 3 or 4 in the morning. It seems like new hires in every position she's found are expected to take on regular night shifts, and that even later on they'll be expected to do that a few times each month. Is there any hope of getting hired in an ER at that level with a stipulation that drastically limits the number of night shifts she has to endure, or is there really no recourse other than to leave the emergency department in order to work. (In her present job, she's been doing regular 12-hour daytime shifts, which has been fine.)
I'm not sure how to go into an upcoming job negotiation.
Hi! I was just offered a job and will go in to negotiate the details of my employment. I'll be working for a company based in a European country that is trying to expand into the U.S. It's a sales position that will have me travelling around the northeast selling their product in specialty stores. [more inside]
Help Desk Lead: Soft Skills questions, please
I am involved in hiring for a help desk lead position. What are are good interview questions to tease out a technical person's "soft" skills? Beyond "Describe a situation where things didn't go right", or "Tell us how you deal with disagreements".
What pre-interview questions can I use to effectively screen jobseekers?
Calling all hiring managers / people who hire people! I run a small business in the creative / advertising world with around ten staff, and we are about to embark on hiring one of the most crucial people you can have in this business, which is a receptionist / office manager. What are some effective and/or magical questions we can ask as part of the application process that will separate the wheat from the chaff? [more inside]

How to deal with false allegations in employment background check?
Just got extended a dream job offer, but I'm afraid a background check will turn up a skeleton in my closet (that I didn't put there) that I don't know how to deal with. How do I prepare to refute it clearly, professionally, and without weaving an unnecessarily epic tale of drama? [more inside]
ch-ch-ch-changes: out with the old, in with the new employees
I run a small-scale but pretty profitable business (5 employees). Entertainment agency. I'm very fortunate to both love my job and really really like the people who work for me. I feel positive about our company and the work we do. We're growing all the time. One of them - the administrative lynch-pin/office manager/keeper of all knowledge is moving abroad to join her long-distance boyfriend. I'm gutted and feel she's going to be really hard to replace. Can you help me? [more inside]
Should I take this job?
After interviewing for a full-time position, I was offered the job as a contract-to-hire. Should I take it? [more inside]
Hired... now, radio silence. Huh?
I've accepted it and I'm moving on, but I can't get this out of my head. I interviewed for a job and a few weeks later got an e-mail and follow-up phone call, telling me they wanted to hire me. They said "send us your availability," so I did. It was the end of that work week, and I checked in again at the start of the next week. They said "we're working out the logistics; we'll get back to you." That was over a week ago. I've heard nothing since. [more inside]

How to be a good interviewer
So we'll be hiring for an accounting assistant in about a month. I'll be reviewing the resumes, and conducting the majority of the interviews. I have interviewed people before, but it's been a while, and it was mostly for administrative positions. Can you suggest any resources for me to use to become a good interviewer? Books, blogs, etc?

Downside to using a "fake" last name on your resume?
A friend wants to use a short, easy-to-spell last name on their resume, in place of their legal name, putting the first initial of their legal last name as their middle initial. Why is this a bad idea? [more inside]
Unethical hiring practices in Federal Government
I have a question regarding unethical hiring practices. This question has a few permutations to it. The main one is it looks like a woman will be interviewing for a position, and one person on the three-person interview panel is a man with whom she is having an affair. The other folks who will be interviewed for the job are aware of this. What is their recourse? What is the smartest course of action? [more inside]
how to list medium crappy temp jobs on a resume?
For about a year now I've been bouncing between secretary type jobs through temp agencies, and need to figure out how to list this on my resume. Two of the temp jobs are relevant to the type of work I hope to get, but can't be listed by name due to confidentiality issues. How do I present this industry specific and consumer facing work especially since my long term job before this was in a different field? I'd just leave it as a gap, except the work is relevant and there are other aspects of the gap (major surgery and more!) that make it longer than I'm comfortable with. [more inside]
What are the best sites for hiring front-end developers in the US?

For a personal project I'm working on, what would be the best programming language if I wanted the user to be able to input some text and image choices and have them receive the information back in an eBook?

The hot month of July presents an occasion to review major regulatory developments during the first half of the year. In this report, we cover discrete topics we think will be of interest to our friends and clients. Links to an article on each of the topics we selected are below.
No new themes are discernible in the developments we report. Rather, to the extent any themes do emerge, they are a familiar leitmotif. Regulatory reform initiatives focused on oversight of complex groups continue apace at both the federal and state levels – although perhaps with less of a sense of urgency as the 2008 financial crisis recedes in the rear view mirror. U.S. insurance regulation continues to be increasingly influenced by regulation outside the U.S. The use of investigations and enforcement to make public policy endures.
Because of the intertwining of regulatory standards and concepts throughout the globe, we need to understand what is happening in Europe to better understand what is happening here. We have asked our friends Steven Francis and Richard Burger of Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP to provide us with an update on the timetable for implementation of Solvency II and progress in the transition to the Bank of England as prudential supervisor for U.K. insurers, as well as the recent announcement of a new European initiative for the protection of consumers of financial products.

Across America, businesses large and small struggle with the same issues: cutthroat competition that is selling "below invoice"; customers that don't want to pay the advertised price; insolent employees; non-existent customer service, and frustrated management with little or no resources to perform their duties.
Employees don't care about the company or the customer, because they don't feel anyone cares about them. Companies don't feel they can afford the "luxury" of recruiting and training the right people, so mediocrity reigns. Many companies that fit this profile struggle to make a profit. The result is a frustrated management team, resentful workers, and disappointed customers.
The vicious cycle continues.
Meanwhile, as the typical business is warring over price, cutting budgets and desperately trying to find "good" people, Starbucks has loyal customers standing in line happily paying $4 for a cup of coffee. Employees over at Southwest Airlines love the company so much they seem like multi-level evangelists. And Nordstrom continues to build upon its legendary customer service.
How have companies like this managed to rise above the mediocrity that rules in the typical company? Why is it that both employees and their customers love the company? What do these companies have in common (other than being extremely profitable)? Do they have something unique? Great marketing? Great management? Is there one simple concept that can bring all of the proven strategies of building a phenomenally successful business together?
What truly sets these companies apart is they have created "community" in their businesses. Community is a word that has many meanings for many people. We often refer to community in the context of our neighborhoods or our local area. We talk about the "global community" and even a "virtual community" as it relates to the Internet.
My definition of community goes much deeper than just a group of people or a neighborhood. Community is the sense of belonging that all humans hunger for.
A Longing for BelongingEvery human being has a "longing for belonging." We are created that way. We have a need to connect with other people. We have a deep desire to be a part of something meaningful – something that makes a difference. The longing for community is the reason people join clubs; it's also why they join gangs. Humans have the need to identify with a group of people that accept and love them, a group of people that belong to each other and walk through life with one another through victory and defeat.
Even as we pursue our rugged independence and our individual rights, deep down we all long to experience community.
How Building Community Impacts Your BusinessIf you understand and implement the principles of building community in your business, you will be able to do something for others that you may have never done before: help them experience the very thing they're searching for.
Your business can be the first place your employees have ever truly felt connected and needed. You have the unique opportunity to help them feel part of something bigger than themselves. Your reward for that is your employees will begin to love your company for it. They will become your biggest champions, which leads to loyal, high-paying clients, which makes you bigger profits.
Keep in mind that your employees may not even know what they are looking for, but rest assured, they will know it when they feel it. When they experience the community that you foster in your company, they will respond. There will be a few that won't, but if you do it right, it will be only a few, and that handful will quickly move on.
If you do not understand and operate in community, I can promise you that your people won't either. If you are not open and honest, they won't be either. If you don't commit to the vision and mission, why should they? If you talk badly about customers, they will too. As the owner or manager, you will have to participate in community just as you expect your employees to.
Living in community and doing what is required won't be easy. If it were, everyone would do it. The very reason that most companies are ordinary – just mediocre, just getting by and complaining the whole way – is because they don't understand what community is and they won't commit to community values even when they think they understand them. Too hard. Too difficult. Too much work for an intangible result.
But you, on the other hand, can rise above the mediocrity. You can experience the exhilarating feeling of not only belonging to an extraordinary movement, but of being at the helm. You will be recognized as the one who leads the charge, the one who changes the business, the industry, and who has a profound and positive impact on many, many lives.
How to Do ItIt's simple: the only way you can begin to create a positive community in your business – one that will give you what your clients and employees want – is to become transparent with one another as you begin to develop "the way we do things here" so that everyone is operating from the same sense of purpose. The community system you establish includes your mission, your values, your goals, your purpose, and the policies and procedures of your culture.
Different groups develop their own sense of community; there is no one-size-fits all. For example, think about the Amish. There is a certain way they do things in their community, certain values they hold. You may or may not agree with it, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that, in creating your community, you put forth a compelling mission, vision and purpose for your company, and begin to craft the values you want to live out. Each step made in the marketing, sales, and operations of your business must be carefully shaped from the ideals from which your company was born.
Is it easy? No. But if you don't do it, someone else will define your community experience for you, and that usually doesn't work out so well.
Have you created a sense of community in your business, in your life? Perhaps it's a work in progress? I know this is a big, deep subject, but it's one of tremendous importance, and I would love to hear your thoughts.

Nicki Minaj - Anaconda
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Eric Bellinger, Polow Da Don, Da Internz
Album: The Pinkprint
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 29 votes )
Update: We have added the Colin Tilley-directed, Drake co-starring visuals for Nicki's Anaconda single.
It's never a good thing, at least in terms of sustainability, when the buzz that surrounds your new single only exists because of racy cover artwork. Nicki Minaj, however, would disagree. After setting the internet ablaze upon the release of highly-Photoshopped, bootylicious artwork for her new single, Anaconda, the record for said artwork has surfaced. The creative team of Eric Bellinger, Polow Da Don and Da Internz will garner some of the spotlight, the part that isn't being blocked by the headliner's posterior, for their sampling of Sir Mix-A-Lot's classic single, Baby Got Back. The end result is more Bang Bang than Chi-Raq, but kudos must be given to any artist who can get everyone talking without even releasing a record. Minaj is set to release her latest full-length, The Pink Print, this fall, via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records.

Principle component analysis of the dinucleotide frequencies of the S. espanaensis CDS. A) Using EDGAR, all CDS from S. espanaensis were divided into three groups: "core" (conserved in all six completely sequenced Pseudonocardiaceae; blue "*"), "other" (shared between S. espanaensis and at least one other Pseudonocardiaceae species; green "x") and singletons ("unique" in S. espanaensis; red " + "). For all genes the relative dinucleotide frequencies were calculated, a PCA was performed using the R package and the results for the two main components are plotted. In addition, the median values for all three distributions were calculated and plotted. (B) Using the same calculation as in A, the genes were divided in relation to their position in the genome relative to the origin of replication. Genes close to the oriC (corresponding to the "top half" of the genome) are given as red "x", genes closer to the terminus ("bottom half" of the genome) are depicted as green " + ". Median points are denoted as black "*" and " + ", green and black circles mark the 90% boundaries.

In leau of the Harlem Globetrotter's performance in Hickory on Sunday, Anthony "Buckets" Blakes discusses a variety of topics, including his early memories of watching the Globetrotters, his favorite players and his experiences with the team.
Below is what he had to say in a one-on-one interview.
Q: Growing up as a kid, were the Globetrotters something you ever got a chance to see or watch?
Three former Newton-Conover graduates were inducted into the school's Hall of Fame during the winter sports athletic banquet Monday.
Among those inducted were John Tate, Christi Crawford and Tim Elrod.
Tate spent more than 50 years giving various contributions to Red Devil athletics, including coaching officiating and playing.
Tate also worked at the Newton News Enterprise from 1951-1954.
Cranford was inducted for her athletic performance at the school. She finished as all-conference softball and basketball three times (1985-87) and tennis once (1986).
Population increased in Newton from 2000 to 2010, but there are more vacant homes within the city's limits.
Newton's latest resident count increased by 408 people, but those people aren't filling up all the city's vacant properties, which increased 63 percent since 2000.
Results from Newton's 2010 census revealed the city's residents increased about 3.2 percent since the last time the population count was conducted 10 years ago. The city's latest population count includes 12,968 residents.
The Rev. H. David "H.D." Shrum, 85, of Lincolnton, passed away Tuesday, March 15, 2011, at CMC-Lincoln. Services will be held Friday, March 18, 2011, at 2:30 p.m. at E. F. Drum Funeral Home Chapel.
Jeffrey "Jeff" Kent Cooke, 56, died Monday, March 14, 2011, at his residence. The Cooke family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
A Newton-Conover City Schools coach and teacher was inducted into the system's hall of fame Monday night, honoring the man's commitment to students and physical education.
Tim Elrod, 55, was one of three people chosen to be part of the Newton-Conover Hall of Fame, an honor designed to recognize excellence in and commitment to athletics. This is Elrod's 31st year as Shuford Elementary School's physical education teacher, and he coached track and field for 27 years at Newton-Conover High School.
"That's the only thing I've ever wanted to do," Elrod said. "I've been so blessed here."
RALEIGH, N.C. — Sidney Lowe has resigned after five seasons as North Carolina State men's basketball coach, according to a person familiar with the situation
The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the school has yet to announce Lowe's resignation.
Lowe had an 86-78 overall record, but just 25-55 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. He inherited a program coming off five straight NCAA tournament trips, but he never finished higher than ninth in the ACC despite twice being picked to finish in the top third of the 12-team league.
Police say they know who is responsible for an early morning shooting and robbery that left three dead and another injured.
Catawba County sheriff's deputies issued three murder warrants for Everette Proshau Hewitt, 32, of Claremont.
Hewitt remains at large, and he is considered armed and dangerous.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid announced Tuesday at noon that a third person died from gunshot wounds sustained during a robbery and shooting in a mobile home on Emmanuel Church Road in Conover.
Four people were shot during an early morning home invasion in Conover on Tuesday.
Catawba County sheriff's deputies report two people were killed and two others injured in the invasion at a mobile home park off Emmanuel Church Road about 4:30 a.m.
Two people were taken to the hospital, one in critical condition, and the other is stable, according to investigators.
Emerging details indicate a masked gunman knocked on the door of a home in the Oak Knoll mobile home park. When a resident answered the door the man demanded money and shots were fired.
Newton-Conover fought back from an early deficit against Hickory on Monday to win a hard fought non-conference match.
