A portion of the prison sentence of a Toledo man for his role in the armed robbery and beating of an elderly couple in 2009 has been vacated by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals.
The court ruled charges of aggravated burglary and grand theft against Ronald Ruby, Jr. should have been merged during his sentencing hearing in the Sandusky County Court of Common Pleas.
Oregon City Council last Monday approved a project development agreement with BP Husky Refining LLC for the city's flood relief and erosion control project.
The agreement spells out the cost share of the project between BP Husky and the city.
If all goes well, the closed Brunner Elementary School will be in its new owner's hands by mid-January.
Curtice resident Gary Moritz told the Genoa Planning Committee about a month ago he wanted to buy the building and renovate it for multiple purposes, including a gym area, a rental hall, and a business hub.
More than four years after filing a racial discrimination complaint, a Wood County sheriff's deputy will have his case heard in court.
The U.S. Sixth District Court of Appeals last week ruled the complaint filed by Sgt. James Kimble against Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn and the county commissioners contained sufficient circumstantial evidence to be heard in trial.
Representatives of police and fire departments studying the feasibility of a regional emergency dispatch center to service northern Wood County visited Crawford County last week to observe the sheriff's department dispatching operations.
Lake Township's dispatching center currently contracts with the Village of Walbridge and City of Rossford to handle their 9-1-1 calls.

text: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Philippians 3:13-14 Each new day brings an opportunity to pick myself up and move ahead. It's a fresh start, a clean slate. The past is history. Nothing that happened yesterday is so bad I can't leave it behind and, at least for today, look to what is ahead. I don't want to look way out into the distant future. The next few hours are all that matter now. What will I do today? How will I live today?... This is the day the Lord has made.... As I go about my daily activities, I thought endlessly about what was important in life and how I would like to use my time. I decided to give instead of take; I wanted to make instead of use. I reached the conclusion that I wanted the world to be a better place after I died because I had been there... Once I had found God and my spiritual journey had begun, my outlook in life quickly changed. My new discovery of how God loved me and had a purpose for my life gave me a great joy. It filled me up. I learned from my Bible readings how God wanted me to love others as He loved me. This was my desire. I wanted to give to others what God has given to me. I felt called to follow Jesus' model. During my morning prayers, I asked God to fill me with his love and help me share it with others. Jesus said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive' (Acts 20:35). This was true for me. Giving of myself was healing, and I became happier. Eventually, God's love led me to a life I could never have imagined possible in my early years as a Christian. Jesus gave me opportunities to serve that, at one time, would have been far beyond me. And, I made another discovery: heirlooms made of cloth and yarn do not compare to caring for those around us. I didn't have to do anything grand. I didn't have to be famous or make a lot of money. Keeping Christ's love in my heart as I spent time with others and worked for their welfare was enough. I learned to understand that whatever I do for others, I do for God. And when I give to others, I'm no longer in the victim's role. I found meaning in having compassion and helping others. I often look back at what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30: 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.' I have found the rest Jesus spoke of, and today I carry the burden of Jesus of supporting and encouraging others. This has given my life deep meaning. I walk with God and let God lead. The unfolding adventure is a beautiful thing, one long mystery tour. I don't know where God will take me next, but I don't need to be afraid. 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' Jeremiah 29:11. My life is in God's hands."

February is the Cruelest Month
Actually, it is the second cruelest month. September is the worst, as indicated by the table below, put together by my friends at Stockcarts.com.

Trade Alert Service Post Blazing 16.75% January Gain
The Trade Alert Service of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader posted a 16.75% profit in January, an all time monthly high. The 26-month total return has punched through to 71.80%, compared to a miserable 10% return for the Dow average.

Lunch With Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
I have to admit that it was with some trepidation that I joined Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, for lunch this week in San Francisco.

Where's the Crash?
That was the questions traders were scratching their heads and asking this morning in the wake of this morning's shocking Q4, 2012 GDP figure. While most analysis were expecting the government to report a more robust 1%-2% number we got negative -0.1%, the worst since 2009. With growth flipping from a positive 3.1% figure in Q3 many thought that a Dow down 500 points was in … [Read more...]
Taking Ford Out for a Spin
I have been trying to buy this stock for a month. Not because I like their pedestrian cars (except the new, muscular, retro Mustang), but because it is one of the great turnaround stories in business history.

Cheniere Energy (LNG) Gets the Green Light
I have been pounding the table on the attractions of Cheniere Energy (LNG) since last spring. Yesterday, the stock hit a new all time high of $21.50.

That smashes the 1.40%-1.90% band, which has imprisoned the bond market for the past year. The immediate trigger was the release of absolute blowout December durable goods figures this morning. They came in at a … [Read more...]
Report From the Inauguration
I am writing this report from the steps of the Capital Building in Washington DC, scratching my notes on the back of a commemorative program with a golf pencil, absolutely freezing my buns off.

These were the pants that successfully executed the retreat … [Read more...]

The Race to the Bottom for Currencies Means a Race to the Top for Stocks
Even the Old Hands, like myself, are somewhat amazed by the strength of the global equity markets this month. The S&P 500 has risen 11 out of the last 12 trading days, and is up almost every day this month. It has been the best January in 18 years. The first week saw the biggest inflows to equity mutual funds in 10 years. Yet, the market went up so fast, most of the … [Read more...]
Rubbing Shoulders With "The 1%" at Incline Village

SPX 1,600, Here We Come!
Take a look at the chart below for the S&P 500, and it is clear that we are gunning for an all time high between 1,550 and 1,600. With the debt ceiling crisis now cancelled, you really have to look hard to find any near term reasons to sell stocks, so we could hit those lofty numbers as early as March. A perusal of the short-term charts certainly demands one to conclude … [Read more...]
Why the Yen Will Never Recover
If anyone is expecting the Japanese yen to take back the losses it has suffered over the last two months, you can forget about it happening anytime soon, eventually, or in your lifetime. Naysayers have been pointing to this week's policy meeting at the Bank of Japan as proof that the yen has stumbled in the international race to the bottom, and that it is running up the … [Read more...]

Trade Alert Service Blasts to New All Time High
The Trade Alert Service of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader posted a new all time high today, pushing its two-year return up to 66%. The Dow average booked a miniscule 12% gain during the same time period. The industry beating record was achieved on the back of a spectacular January, which so far had earned readers a mind blowing 10.92% profit. Right after the January 2 opening, I … [Read more...]

I am sitting here in front of a crackling hot fire at my lakeshore estate in Nevada's Incline Village.

Sure, with the Trade Alert Service generating a 14.87% net profit for the year, I was able to bring in double the Dow average, and triple what most hedge funds delivered, including some of the biggest ones. But for once, I did not achieve true greatness. I feel that, given the amount of work I did, I should have done much better. I issued … [Read more...]

Economist David Hale Says the Action will be in Southeast Asia
I have been relying on David Hale as my de facto global macro economist for decades, and I never miss an opportunity to get his updated views.

Bernanke's Stake Through Romney's Heart.
I can just imagine how Ben Bernanke's announcement of QE3 went down at Mitt Romney's campaign headquarters in Massachusetts last week.

Oil is Not Looking So Hot.
I received another one of those scratchy cell phone calls from my friend in the West Texas oil patch. You could almost feel the dust coming through the ether.

That means Texas Tea has … [Read more...]

Before you head down to the local coin store to load up on bags of one ounce American gold eagles, let me go through the simplest of … [Read more...]
Buy What Ben's Buying.
In view of Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, yesterday: it is time to reassess one's investment strategy. The former Princeton professor didn't give us QE3, he gave us QE3 with a turbocharger, on steroids, with an extra dose of adrenaline. He could spend another $1 trillion before all is said and done. If ever an economic theory was pursued to extremes, this is it. … [Read more...]
QE3 Blows Out Bears.
The big surprise today was not that the Federal Reserve launched QE3, but the extent of it. For a start, they moved the "low interest rate" target out to mid-2015. They left the commitment to bond-buying open-ended. The first-year commitment came in at $480 billion, in-line with previous efforts. Reading the statement from the Open Market Committee, you can't imagine a … [Read more...]

How U.S. Job Losses Will End
I was researching comparative Asian wage data the other day and was astounded with what I found. Textile workers earn $2.99 an hour in India (PIN), $1.84 in China (FXI), and $0.49 in Vietnam (VNM). This is an 18-fold increase in labor costs from $0.10 an-hour since Chinese industrialization launched in 1978. This compares to the $8 an hour our much abused illegals get at … [Read more...]
The "Safe" Trade Beats All
I certainly hope you took my advice to load your portfolio with corn and gold and to dump your equities five years ago. What? You didn't?

Those include emerging market debt, REIT's, … [Read more...]
Watch Out for the Coming Risk Reversal
It is a fact of life that markets get overstretched. Think of pulling on a rubber band too hard, or loading too many paddlers at one end of a canoe.

Stocks (DIA), (QQQ), (IWM) have reached the top of decade and a … [Read more...]
The Volatility Death Spiral Continues
Mr. Market sometimes speaks in mysterious tongues, and you really have to wonder what he is struggling to tell us by taking the Volatility Index (VIX) down to a subterranean $13 handle on Friday, a new five year low.

Get Ready to Buy the Bond Market
The Treasury bond market has just suffered one of the most horrific selloffs in recent memory, taking the yield on ten year paper up from 1.38% to an eye popping 1.83% in weeks, a three month high. Yields have just risen by an amazing 38%. This has dragged the principal Treasury bond ETF (TLT) down from $132 to $120. Those who were pining to get into this safe haven at a … [Read more...]
Time to Pick Up Some Gold
Gold has clearly evolved into a call option on global quantitative easing. Don't think of it just as the stuff your dentist puts in your teeth or the thing your girlfriends gets you to wrap around her finger anymore. I don't think that the Federal Reserve will implement QE3 at its September 16-17 meeting, or even next year. This shocking realization will be bad for gold … [Read more...]
The Slippery Slope for Oil
If volatility and lack of direction in the equity market are driving you nuts these days, thank your lucky stars you're not in the oil market.

That's assuming that you had time to notice while sifting through numerous, contradictory leaks from Israeli intelligence about whether … [Read more...]
Double Up or Bail on Your JC Penny Short?
The stock of the day last Friday was, no doubt, JC Penny (JCP), one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the market, which announced Q2, 2012 earnings. Despite a huge miss, the stock soared by 20% because the losses were not as bad as many expected. This leads to the question of whether traders should double up or bail on the existing short positions. As the dispassionate … [Read more...]

Welcome to the "Heads I win, tails you lose" market. The prospect of imminent quantitative easing by the US, Europe, China, and even Japan is supporting asset prices globally.

The only reason … [Read more...]
The Fed Says No QE3
As I expected, the wildly optimistic expectations for further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve at yesterday's Open Market Committee meeting were not matched with substance. All we got was a continuation of existing modest programs and some minor tweaking of language. Bernanke only managed to say that, "further stimulus will be provided as needed." The Fed left … [Read more...]
Mr. Mario's Big Bluff
A couple of alleged Tweets, a few rumored phone calls, and what have we got? $2 trillion in new global stock market capitalization in hours.

But is the creation of this immense new wealth, which would alone … [Read more...]
Why Ben Bernanke Hates Me
I don't just think he hates me. He truly despises me. In fact, he does everything he can to put me out of business. Take next week, for example, when the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meets, and he will attempt to give my views and me a complete thrashing. I doubt he'll launch a QE3 because he needs to keep some dry powder as a last resort. But he probably will … [Read more...]
Apple Just Gave You a Gift
Steve Jobs' creation dropped a real bombshell on the market Tuesday when it announced Q2, 2012 earnings that were rotten to the core.

Of the 53 brokers who provided research coverage of the Mountain View, California firm, 27 rated it a "buy", 21 "outperform", and precisely … [Read more...]
US Earnings Are Headed Down the Drain
Remember the $2 trillion US corporate cash mountain that you have heard so much about? Well, it is finally starting to shrink. Have they started reinvesting profits in America?

Have they dramatically increased dividends and share buy backs or returned to acquisitions to boost … [Read more...]
How the Fed Will Trigger the Next Crash
Over the last two months, I have witnessed one of the least convincing rallies in the US stock market in recent memory. Looking at the chart for the S&P 500 below you can clearly see a modest, low conviction, declining volume rally in an ever-narrowing channel. This is further confirmed by the chart of the NYSE advance/decline ratio that is failing at the March support … [Read more...]
This Party is About to End
They are really rocking the market today, with the Dow up nearly 200 points off the back of a non-disastrous Chinese GDP growth figure of 7.7%. However, there is a serious disconnect going on in our markets which suggests to me that our own party may be about to end. Yesterday's blockbuster weekly jobless claim took applications for unemployment benefits down to a four-year … [Read more...]
Obama's Unintended Oil Consequences
Back in March, oil broke the $110/barrel level and gasoline was rapidly approaching the $5/gallon level, threatening to derail Obama's reelection campaign. The administration enlisted Europe to join it in a boycott of Iranian oil in an effort to get the Islamic republic to retreat from is program to develop a nuclear weapon. Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, responded by … [Read more...]
Why I Am Chopping My US GDP Forecast to 1.5%
For the past two years, I have maintained a GDP growth forecast for the US of 2% a year. I have not stuck with this figure because I am stubborn, obstinate, or too lazy to update my analysis of the future of the world's largest economy. I have kept this number nailed to the mast because it has been right. I have watched other far more august institution with vastly more … [Read more...]
No Fed Action Disappoints QE Bulls
It's always nice when intelligent people agree with you. That was my feeling after the Federal Reserve gave notice today that it was downgrading its forecast of US economic growth for 2012 from 2.6% to 2.15%. That is a major step down from the 3% and higher predictions they were hanging on to earlier. The news came in the written statement that followed the Fed's somewhat … [Read more...]
Gold is Making a Comeback
One of my best calls of the year was to plead with readers to avoid gold like the plague, periodically dipping in on the short side only. The barbarous relic has been in a bear market since it peaked at $1,922 an ounce at the end of August last year. Gold shares have fared much worse, with lead stock Barrack Gold (ABX) dropping 36% since then and the gold miners ETF (GDX) … [Read more...]
Greek Conservative Win Sends Shorts Fleeing
The victory of the centrist pro bailout New Democracy Party in the Sunday Greek elections sparked a furious rally in the overnight Asian markets, much of it driven by hedge fund short covering. The socialist, anti-bailout parties went down in flames. As I write this on Sunday night, the Dow futures are trading up 78 points from the Friday close and the Japanese yen is in … [Read more...]
Be Careful What You Wish For
The wild whipsaw movements in the markets on Thursday reminded us once again how dependent they have become on monetary stimulus from central banks. As if we needed reminding. Almost simultaneously, officials from the US, Japan and the UK hinted at a coordinated move at this weekend's G-20 meeting in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Let's hope for the sake of global financial … [Read more...]
The Nationalization of the Bond Market
I was as stunned as anyone when the yield on the ten year Treasury bond (TLT), (TBT) plummeted to 1.42% two weeks ago. Predictions that long dated government paper would reach subterranean Japanese levels, considered loony as recently as a few months ago, are now donning the mantle of respectability, and even plausibility. Where will this end? With yields at 1.25%, 1%? … [Read more...]
The Next China Boom
The call was scratchy and barely audible. I was instructed to not mention any names. I should only use the prearranged code words when talking about political parties. You never know when the phones in China are tapped. I was just about to get a heads up that the People's Bank of China was going to lower interest rates for the first time in four years. Of course, we knew … [Read more...]

Nonfarm Bombshell Sends Markets Scampering
Say goodbye to 2012. That was the harsh conclusion of the marketplace after the release of the devastating May nonfarm report that forced the Dow to give up its entire year to date performance. The cat was really set among the pigeons this morning when the Department of Labor informed us that only 69,000 jobs were gained in the previous month. The unemployment rate ratcheted … [Read more...]
Are We Probing a Bottom With Housing?
The March Case Shiller Home Price Index is out, showing that the fall in home prices continues unabated, paring -2.6% on a YOY basis. Detroit delivered the biggest drop, down a shocking -4.4%, followed by Chicago (-2.5%), and Atlanta (-0.9%). But 14 out of 20 markets managed increases in prices. The national index is still declining, but at a slower rate. Given that this … [Read more...]
My Tactical View of the Market
The abject failure of the equity indexes to breach even the first line of upside resistance does not bode well for the "RISK ON" trade at all. Only a week ago I predicted that the markets would be challenged to top 1,340 in the (SPX) and $78 for the Russell 2000 (IWM). In fact, we made it up only to 1,335 and $77.90 respectively. To see the melt down resume ahead of the … [Read more...]
Time to Buy JP Morgan
This is far and away the world's premier banking institution. Estimates of the huge trading losses by the London "whale", initially pegged at $2 billion, have since skyrocketed to $6 billion. I'll ignore the Internet rumors that speculate about a $30 billion hickey. As you well know, almost everything on the net is not true, except what you read in my own newsletter. Back in … [Read more...]
What Hot…and Not
My friend, Tom Dorsey of the technical research boutique Dorsey Wright, inundates me daily with a never ending stream of market sensitive data which has been helping me make some of my more successful market calls. For example, when the S & P 500 hundred broke 1,380 in April, he completely nailed the 1,280 bottom in the current move. So, I thought I'd pass on the asset … [Read more...]
Playing at the Deep End With the Euro
I never wanted to join any club that would have me as a member. That is the little nugget of wisdom comedian Groucho Marx imparted to me during his visit to the UCLA campus 40 years ago. It is also what came to mind when I saw the shocking Commitment of Traders Report for Euro futures that came out last Friday. Short positions in the beleaguered European currency soared to … [Read more...]
My Tactical View of the Market
The easy money has been made on the short side this year for a whole range of asset classes. While we will probably see lower lows from here, the risk/reward ratio for taking short positions in (SPX), (IWM), (FXE), (FXY), (GLD), (SLV), (USO), and (CU) are less favorable than they were two months ago. Of course, the ultimate arbiter will be the news play and the economic data … [Read more...]
Why My Boeing Trade Crashed and Burned
This trade was an unmitigated disaster, and hopefully it will be the worst of the year. I'm glad we had one of these because it provides a wonderful opportunity to illustrate everything that can go on with a trade. Every loss is a learning opportunity, and a loss not learned from is an opportunity wasted, and dooms one to repetition. Let me count the ways: 1) I was too … [Read more...]
Facebook Flop Frustrates Ferocious Fans
This had to be one of the greatest change of life weekends in human history, endured by one Mark Zuckerberg. On Friday, he earned $9.2 billion with the flawed Facebook (FB) flotation.

A Conversation With Charles Nenner
I managed to catch my longtime friend, technical analyst, Charles Nenner, on the fly between London appointments yesterday. The must go to guy for big hedge funds, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and high net worth individuals, says that the global markets are on the verge of completing round one of a major risk off trade, and there is much more to come.

Charts Are Breaking Down All Over
They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words, so here are 4,000 words worth. My friends at www.stockcharts.com put together this series of charts establishing beyond any reasonable doubt that the "RISK ON" trade is breaking down across all asset classes. Everything is breaking down, simultaneously and in unison, including the S&P 500 (SPX), Gold (GLD), Silver (SLV), Oil … [Read more...]
Strong Dollar Spells Death for Commodities
Panic is on deck, to use the baseball terminology that my foreign readers are often attempting to decipher. That is the only conclusion one can reach after getting gob smacked by the price action this morning. Copper got spanked for eight cents, oil burned $2, gold shed another $26, and silver puked 70 cents. The tantrum like stock behavior in producing and equipment … [Read more...]
Why is Gold Broken?
Gold bugs are puzzled by the recent collapse in the price of the barbarous relic. Physical demand has been outstripping supplies for some time now and threatens to reach all-time highs. Demand for 100 ounce gold bars by the 1%'ers is as high as it has ever been. Negative real interest rates for almost all Treasury securities also underpin the bull argument for gold.

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at LinkedIn.
I applied through the LinkedIn website and was contacted by a recruiter to set up an interview. The interview itself was very friendly and laid back. The recruiter told me about the different positions available within the data science department, and how the entire department was structured. According to the recruiter, there's usually a first (phone/skype) interview with a recruiter, a second (phone/skype) interview with one of the team leaders, and a third (fly-in) interview.
Interview Questions
- I was asked to come up with some of the factors that could be used to produce certain algorithms ('people you may know,' and an algorithm to discover when a person is starting to search for new job). Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at LinkedIn in April 2014.
The Interviewer ask the running up staircase with n steps quesion which need to get how many possible ways to run up the stairs. Each time you can hop either 1 step, 2 steps or 3 steps at a time. In addition, he asks some question about my research such as graph algorithms.

- The unexpected question is that the HR told me the interview will ask questions about sql but the interviewer ask the quesions about algorithm which I prepare nothing for that. Answer Question

I applied through college or university – interviewed at LinkedIn.
I had 3 phone interviews with Linkedin data scientists. Everyone I spoke to was very bright, thoughtful and polite and made a great impression. On the first two calls I was asked how I would solve some of the problems Linkedin worked on (ex: people you may know) and on the third call I had a more technical coding interview. However I didn't have a machine learning background at the time, so they did not give me an offer but encouraged me to e-apply after I had taken some of the machine learning classes I was planning to take the next semester. Considering how little machine learning I knew at the time it's a wonder they even gave me a first interview, let alone 3.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at LinkedIn.
There should be two rounds of phone interviews and one on-site interview. I applied for the position in LinkedIn career page. A recruiter contacted me the next day and scheduled my first phone screen. After the first phone screen, the recruiter contacted me regarding the next round of the phone screen.
Interview Questions
- I passed the first phone screen (basic data mining questions, including the concepts of classification and clustering; and a simple dp question which is quite similar to "Climbing Stairs"), and failed the second one right after I came back from another state (basic nlp questions, like named entity extraction, and basic data mining questions, like SVM, naive bayes; and a sampling question which is quite similar to Reservoir sampling). 1 Answer

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in June 2012.
I was first contacted by a recruiter. Two phone interviews were arranged. The first interviewer asked some basic questions about my resume and then we went into the technical questions. Two questions were asked, both about searching in sorted arrays of numbers. The second interview was almost identical, except that the question was more about algorithm design, which required general problem solving skill.
Interview Questions
- Questions are not difficult. It is important to review basic algorithm design and know how to talk through the interview, and know when to ask for help. Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in April 2012.
I went through a process of 4 Phone Interviews. The first was from a recruiter and was pretty straightforward. The others were much more difficult, but all of the interviewers were cordial and professional. They were prompt about letting me know when I was eliminated from consideration, which I appreciated, though the process seemed to drag out longer than it should have.
Interview Questions
- I don't recall exactly, but they asked about how I would approach several scenarios. This would be very difficult to answer well if you have not worked at a similar company and know what sorts of data are available to answer the question. Answer Question

The bad:
1) they NEVER reimburse my travel expense! the person in charge of reimbursement never reply and the HR kicks the ball around.
2) well, the HR. the LinkedIn HR told me to show up at 10:00AM, and I was told at the front desk to start interviewing at 12:30PM! And here's nobody there to have lunch with me! So I thought of calling my old friends at Google next door and completely forget about the company for their lack of professionalism, since I already got an attractive offer from my other interview in the city pinned by a huge needle from the space.
Fortunately another HR showed up. Then I spent 2 hours in the morning hanging out at a nearby starbucks (of course I paid for the coffee that they never reimburse, and i witnessed there how starbucks interview prospective coffee staff) before we had some mediocre indian food onsite.
The nightmare hasn't stopped. the HR tried to persuade me into accepting the offer right after the interview like a (Toyota) car dealer without even giving me a concrete number. It was around 6 in the evening. I was hungry because of the just-so-so indian food. I was really too tired after visiting two west coast cities from the east coast and having two extensive interviews in 3 days. And she started to say I appear to have the passion for the company ... well ... that lack of consideration really ruined the image of the professional social network in my mind.
The good that I have to acknowledge:
1) interesting (would-be) co-workers. Guess you won't miss Daniel if you run into the data scientist position. I highly recommend his blog (http://thenoisychannel.com/2011/08/08/retiring-a-great-interview-problem/).
2) Location. Well, that's a double sword since the campus site is getting surrounded by Google. But I do feel a very passionate hacker culture in the bay area.
3) the data problems at the company is highly unformulated. I guess there's plenty interesting things to exercise your ninja skills.
Other things to notice:
1) they didn't seem to care much about what you did if you have a non-computer science PhD. Guess you'll have to think over that ... it's a double sword on your career.
2) where will the company go? It's a sure thing that LinkedIn will never gain such traction as facebook. I do feel that the headhunter activities have declined a lot recently. While companies embrace for twitter and facebook as primary engaging channel, where will the channel that only talks about professional interaction go?

In most cases of chronic pain lingering pain that never seems to go away after accidents or prolonged illnesses ― no pill exists to dull the hurt. Billions of dollars are lost every year in sick days taken to alleviate chronic pain, and as much money is spent by the healthcare system to diagnose what's wrong.
Dr. Joel Hirsch of Tel Aviv University conducts basic research investigating calcium channels in the human body, established targets for the alleviation of chronic pain. His research, recently presented at the Biophysical Society in San Francisco, provides new information into how these channels work. His laboratory is developing computer-derived models of drugs that might affect chronic pain ― such as pain from backaches, sore limbs and arthritis ― which are targeted for calcium channels.
"We have determined structures of calcium channel components which provide a framework for drug design and targeting," Dr. Hirsch says. "There is still much to learn about calcium channels, which enable pain signals to travel from the body to the brain."
Once he and his colleagues understand the deeper mechanisms of these channels, they hope to use new drugs to modulate them "on" and "off" as needed ― and provide relief to the millions of people who suffer from the condition.
Finding where it hurts
According to the American Chronic Pain Association, chronic pain is pain that persists a month or more beyond the usual recovery period for an injury or illness. It can continue for months or years, is not always constant, but usually interferes with one's quality of life at all levels.
Three drugs on the market target calcium channels for pain indications such as Lyrica, Neurotonin and ziconitide. But they are not effective in many cases, while ziconitide requires an injection into the spine. Hence, there is a considerable need for alternative drugs.
"Calcium channels are still
