Smart move! Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg passed up the opportunity to be chief executive officer of LinkedIn, she reveals in her yet-to-be-released book book, "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead". The book will be released March 11.
In the summer of 2006, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman came knocking to Sandberg, then an accomplished senior Google executive, about being the LinkedIn's CEO.
"In the summer of 2006, a tiny startup called LinkedIn was looking for a new CEO, and Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn's founder, reached out to me. I thought it was a great opportunity, and after five years in the same position at Google, I was ready for a new challenge. But the timing was tricky. I was 37 years old and wanted to have a second child. I told Reid the truth: Regrettably, I had to pass. …", according to Tom Gara at the Wall Street Journal. (Photo Credit: Drew Altizer)
And a few years later, Sandbergg headed off to another social networking company company… we all know… Facebook. How Would LinkedIn Be Different If Sheryl Sandberg Was CEO?

NSW needs 'a big flood' to break droughtMichael Condon, Friday March 14, 2014 - 14:04 EDT
The latest seasonal snap shot for New South Wales shows that one third of the state is still in the grip of a drought.
Dry conditions eased across much of NSW following good rainfall in mid to late February but more rain is needed to sustain pastures and replenish soil moisture and water supplies.
The report found areas of the north-west, north-east, far west and far south-east of the State received below average rainfall again last month with pasture growth in these areas suffering.
�??About a third of the State received above average rainfall, including the far north-west, the south-west and areas of the Central West, Central Tablelands, Hunter, South East, Riverina and Murray Local Land Services districts,�?? DPI seasonal conditions co-ordinator Ian McGowen said.
�??Average topsoil moisture improved, but still remains low across 98 per cent of NSW and subsoil moisture levels declined slightly.
�??Stock water supplies remain low over areas of the west, north-west, north-east and Tablelands.
�??Stock condition and pasture production is dependent upon follow-up rainfall over the coming months.�??
Mr McGowen says early to mid-February was hot, with some areas receiving only patchy rain.
�??Maximum temperatures across the state in February averaged 1.6 degrees above normal,�?? he said.
�??Total rainfall over the state ranged from one to 300 mm, but the majority of NSW received between 25 and 100 mm.
�??Much of the drought-affected area in the north-west around Bourke and Brewarrina received above average rainfall of 50-100 mm, but the area around White Cliffs received only 10 mm or less.
�??Rainfall in other drought-affected areas of the north west ranged from 10 to 50 mm and, unfortunately, some areas such as Walgett and Pilliga did not receive the same falls as further west.
�??The far north-east corner of NSW received less than 40 per cent of normal February rainfall, with the area between Grafton and Lismore receiving less than 20 per cent of normal.�??
Mr McGowen says pasture growth improved during February across the Tablelands, slopes and south-west, and in the Hunter Valley.
�??Relative to historical records, pasture growth was average or better over almost two-thirds of NSW and below average in the north-east, south-east and parts of the north-west."
Mr McGowen says large rainfall events are needed to ensure that the winter crops are off to at least an average season.
"The subsoil moisture is just very low. That is why many people talk about the need for a big flood to really break a drought and that is what we need in NSW."

Rihanna and Chris Brown Collaborations Revealed
The collaboration between Rihanna and Chris Brown that was widely speculated to be coming has made its way to the Internet — two times over.
As expected Chris Brown showed up for a verse on Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix, dropping the line, "Girl I want to f*** you right now/Been a long time, I've been missing your body."
And Rihanna makes an unexpected appearance on the remix of Chris Brown's "Turn Up the Music" to sing and, at the end of the track, giggle and say, "Oh no, you made me laugh."
The two announced the release of the singles on their Twitter accounts, with each linking to the other's song. Brown's link to a file download site housing Rihanna's track quickly maxed out, but several blogs have reposted it.

Iron Horse Vineyards
This innovative and pioneering producer is located in the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley. 160 acres are planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The founding partners, Audrey and Barry Sterling, chose this very cool and foggy site in 1976. The original 110 acres were planted by Forrest Tancer who was working for Rodney Strong. Iron Horse was the most westernmost vineyard in Sonoma County at the time.
Forrest and the Sterlings subsequently became partners and built a winery. A Chardonnay was bottled for their first vinttage in 1978, and the winery officially opened in 1979 with the release of an Estate Pinot Noir and sparkling wines followed the next year. Sparkling wine production was initially a solution for what to do with 55 acres of Pinot Noir in Sonoma in the late 1970s.
A replanting project began in 2005 with 50 acres undergoing re-planting based on current viticultural advances under the direction of Daniel Roberts, aka Dr. Dirt. Precision farming of the estate's 160 acres is practiced based on GIS/GPS mapping.
The name Iron Horse came from a locomotive that stopped at nearby Ross Station at the turn of the 20th Century.
Iron Horse along with Schramsberg have been California icons of sparkling wine production. The Thomas Road Pinot Noir has been the flagship Pinot Noir, recently joined by Q Pinot Noir from special blocks in the estate vineyard.
Joy Sterling is the current CEO of the winery and represents the second generation at Iron Horse. Other members of the Sterling family are involved in the management of the winery including Joy's son, Laurence, who manages the Green Valley vineyards. Forrest Tancer retired in 2005. David Munksgard, who joined Iron Horse in 1996, is now in charge of winemaking. Production is 30,000 cases annually.
The lineup of still and sparkling wines (100% estate grown) are available on the website and there is good retail distribution as well. Tours are by appointment Monday through Friday. The tasting room is open daily from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM at 9786 Ross Station Road in Sebastopol. 707-887-1507.

2006 Iron Horse Vineyards Estate Green Valley Pinot Noir
14.5%, $32.50. · Strawberries, cherries and good barnyard attract you to the glass. A melange of lightly weighted red berries and cherries is complimented by flavors of mocha, oak char and mushrooms. This is a wine dominated by high-voltage acidity and marked tannins which compete with the fruit. Not particularly appealing to me, this wine may be attractive to those with a palate attracted by more austere wines over intensely fruity ones. Reviewed May 7, 2009 ARTICLE »

Nicely integrated. Enjoyed w pizza. Soft but nice complexity. Great value.
Ty never disappoints!!
Pretty demonstrative of Ty's wines. This is why they are an auto-buy when they appear on Woot. Solid, integrated. Really fruit forward. My one concern - I don't know that it really tastes that much different than another Ty blend. I'd still buy again.
We drank this through a vinturi, but still thought it was young and tight, despite it's already being 4 years off the vine. This one could definitely use an overnight decant. The color is a dark a purple as wine can get. The nose has deep, rich, still shy and reticent blackberry and plum with some vanilla and the aroma of tartaric acid. Big blackberry and black cherry fruit. Seems to have only moderate oak. The tannin structure is very civilized for a wine this big. The finish, for even a half hour later is big, raw, young acid that interferes with the current enjoyment of this wine.

What do you think of this cat?
It may have a lovely coat, but what about its personality? Is it
or trainable?
(You can pick more than one.)
What about this handsome tortoiseshell?
Is it active, aloof, bold, calm, friendly, intolerant, shy, stubborn, tolerant, or trainable?
One more kitty.
Active, aloof, bold, calm, friendly, intolerant, shy, stubborn, tolerant, or trainable?
Psychology researcher Mikel Delgado and her coauthors created a survey to ask people similar questions. They recruited 189 participants, and asked them to rank how much they thought white, tortoiseshell, and orange cats possessed the ten traits above. The study also included black cats and bi-colored cats ("questions about bi-colored cats would show whether the presence of white patches might impact attitudes to cat personality"). The general goal was to find out whether, and how, humans judged cats by their coats.
If you thought the orange cat looked friendly, you're in good company — survey respondents were more likely to attribute friendliness to orange cats than to the other colors (except bi-colored, who are apparently also seen as friendly). The study authors found this a bit surprising, since "depictions of some of the most well-known orange cats in American culture, such as Morris, 'The world's most finicky cat' and Garfield, who is described as lazy and cynical, are not positive." However, it's possible that "the tendency for orange cats to be highly anthropomorphized in advertising and other popular media influences their popularity. For example, both Morris and Garfield are depicted as being able to talk."
White cats, meanwhile, were more likely than others to be seen as aloof, calm, and shy. Tortoiseshell cats were aloof and intolerant. Black cats were just average at everything — no traits stood out as being more commonly applied to them.
Delgado and her coauthors note that these perceptions actually matter to kitties' well-being, since they could influence whether people adopt cats from shelters. They suggest that shelter employees take people's color biases into account and adjust accordingly: for instance, they "may want to promote white and tortoiseshell cats by emphasizing positive personality traits, recognizing that people may hold negative biases about these colors of cats." They could also put up Garfield cartoons to remind people that orange cats can be total jerks.

Femme Fatale is an American hard rock band active from 1987 to 1990 and 2013–present. Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the band moved to Los Angeles but only released one studio album before disbanding. Lead vocalist, Lorraine Lewis, restarted the band in 2013 with a new line-up.
Formation and disbandment (1987-1990)[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2009)
Femme Fatale was formed in 1987 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Later on that year, the band moved to Los Angeles and signed a recording contract with MCA Records after a well-received showcase. The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1988, peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard 200 the following year. MTV gave heavy airplay to the videos for "Waiting for the Big One" and "Falling in and out of Love", the band's two signature songs. The airplay helped the album to sell nearly 225,000 copies, but Femme Fatale was unable to match the popularity of other bands in the glam metal scene. The band saw their status at MCA shrink and the band's manager, Andrea Accardo, developed a rare brain cancer. Shortly after touring the world in support of Cheap Trick, recording was to commence on a new studio album, but ultimately it was never completed and the band dissolved in 1990.
Post breakup (1990-2013)[edit]
Since leaving Femme Fatale, Lorraine Lewis has recorded a few modestly successful solo albums in country, new age, and other rock genres.[citation needed] Lewis competed on MTV's Remote Control in 1988, against Britny Fox's Dizzy Dean Davidson and Anthrax's Charlie Benante, who won.[1]
Guitarist Mazzi Rawd left the music industry and went on to get his PhD in Physics, and is now a Vice President in a Fortune 500 company.[citation needed] Guitarist Bill D'Angelo died of a heart attack in 2005, aged 43. The Albuquerque Tribune reported on March 26, 2006, that D'Angelo's death was due to methamphetamine misuse.[2]
In recent years, satellite radio and VH-1 Classic have given the band's two signature songs a new life, with display on VH1C's Metal Mania and the two main satellite networks' 1980s-themed stations.
In 2013 Lorraine Lewis reformed the band with new line-up of Courtney Cox and Nita Strauss on guitar Janis Tanaka on bass Katt Scarlett on keyboards Rachael Rine and Athena on drums

New Invention
by deefone, Performer
- Created: January 22, 2011, 7:01 pm
Hi. My name is Daniel Courselle. A semi-retired General Contractor (50 years) in So. Calif. primarily Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
I have developed an enclosed Algae Bio-reactor to produce biofuels to start, for continuous growth that can be readied for commercial application. This is opposed to an open pond system with many problems-hence the closed system.
Because I don't have a PHD after my name, the many attempted contacts, so far,are not interrested or I am stepping on toes and they don't want to discuss my idea.
My call for help is out. I am looking for direction, collaboration or specific assistance with seed money ($35,000). This should prove the system. From there many startup entities can ensue. Returning GI's would be great with the GI Bill working as small teams. They could work till retirement with a good income.
I have e-mailed initial correspondance with four Colleges. To get them serious it seems, a grant must be involved. This takes time which I don't have. I am 76 and want this to fly. Any suggestions? My provisional patent pending is only good for one year.Jan. 09

VIEWS: 37 PAGES: 2 CATEGORY: Federal Trade Commission (FTC) POSTED ON: 5/30/2008 Public Domain
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION COMMISSIONERS: Deborah Platt Majoras, Chairman Pamela Jones Harbour Jon Leibowitz William E. Kovacic J. Thomas Rosch ) In the Matter of ) ) REALCOMP II, LTD., ) Docket No. 9320 a corporation. ) ) ORDER PARTIALLY GRANTING JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME THROUGHOUT THE APPELLATE BRIEFING SCHEDULE Complaint Counsel and Respondent have filed a Joint Motion for Extension of Time Throughout the Appellate Briefing Schedule (December 21, 2007) (hereinafter "Joint Motion") requesting that the Commission extend the time for the filing of briefs on the appeal and possible cross-appeal in this matter. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission grants in part the parties' motion for an extension of time. Chief Administrative Law Judge McGuire filed his Initial Decision and Order in this matter on December 10, 2007, and Complaint Counsel filed a timely Notice of Appeal on December 19, 2007. If Respondent determines to file a Notice of Appeal (hereinafter "Notice of Cross-Appeal"), it must be filed on or before December 31, 2007. Pursuant to Commission Rule 3.52(g), 16 C.F.R. § 3.52(g) (2007), if such a Notice of Cross-Appeal is filed -- and Respondent perfects its Cross-Appeal with the timely filing of a Cross-Appeal Brief -- Complaint Counsel will be deemed the Appellant, and Respondent will be deemed the Cross-Appellant/Appellee. Because Complaint Counsel were served with the Initial Decision on December 19, 2007, Complaint Counsel must currently file their Appeal Brief on or before January 18, 2008.1 If service of that and subsequent briefs is effected on the opposing parties on the date on which each brief is due -- and if Respondent files and perfects a Cross-Appeal2 -- then Respondent's Answering and Cross-Appeal Brief would be due on or before February 20, 2008. 1 Commission Rule 3.52(b), 16 C.F.R. § 3.52 (b). 2 For purposes of this Order, if Respondent files a Cross-Appeal, it will be deemed to have been perfected if its initial brief contains its "arguments as to any issues [Respondent] is raising on cross-appeal . . ." Commission Rule 3.52(c), 16 C.F.R. § 3.52(c). 1 The time periods prescribed by the Commission Rules of Practice ordinarily should afford parties to Commission proceedings sufficient time to file pleadings and briefs of sufficient quality and detail to aid in the preparation of Commission opinions and orders. The proximity of the current briefing schedule to the holidays, however, may interfere with that process. See Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Joint Motion for Extension of Time and Length of Appeal Briefs, In re Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Corporation, Docket No. 9315 (Nov. 18, 2005) available at http://www.ftc.gov/os/adjpro/d9315/051205orderd9315.pdf. The Commission has therefore determined to grant an extension as to the initial brief and the answering brief. Because the time for filing the notice of cross-appeal has not expired, the Commission will issue a subsequent order regarding further briefing and a date for the oral argument. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT (1) Complaint Counsel shall file their Appeal Brief on or before January 25, 2008, and (2) the appeal of Complaint Counsel shall be deemed perfected "by the timely filing of an appeal brief," for purposes of Commission Rule 3.51(a), 16 C.F.R. § 3.51(a), if Complaint Counsel file their Appeal Brief by that date; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT (1) Respondent shall file its Answering Brief (including any Cross-Appeal Brief) on or before February 29, 2008, and (2) if Respondent pursues a cross appeal, it shall be deemed perfected "by the timely filing of an appeal brief" if Respondent files its Answering and Cross-Appeal Brief by that date, whether or not Complaint Counsel have previously perfected their appeal. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT all of the foregoing Briefs shall in all other respects conform to the requirements of Commission Rule 3.52, 16 C.F.R. § 3.52. By the Commission. C. Landis Plummer Acting Secretary ISSUED: December 28, 2007 2

FIELD This invention relates to wearable monitoring devices.BACKGROUND Physical fitness has been a growing concern for both the government as well as the health care industry due to the decline in the time spent on physical activities by both young teens as well as older adults. Self monitoring of individuals hasproven to be helpful in increasing awareness of individuals to their activity habits. By way of example, self-monitoring of sugar levels by a diabetic helps the diabetic to modify eating habits leading to a healthier lifestyle. Self-monitoring and precisely quantizing physical activity has also proven to be important in disease management of patients with chronic diseases, many of which have become highly prevalent in the western world. A plethora of different devicesand applications have surfaced to serve the needs of the community ranging from simple pedometers to complex web-based tracking programs. Wearable devices and sensors have seen a tremendous global growth in a range of applications including monitoring physical activity. Several physical activity monitoring systems incorporate a variety of sensors which store the sensor data on awearable device and process the data offline in a separate device. Typically, the known systems require proactive or reactive specification of the physical actions performed by the user. Additionally, while known systems are able, to some extent, toascertain the general nature of activity that an individual is undertaking, the systems are not able to provide detailed information as to the context in which the activity is being undertaken. Micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, which have a small form factor and exhibit low power consumption without compromising on performance, have received increased attention for incorporation into wearable sensors. For example,inertial MEMS sensors such as accelerometers can be placed into an easy and light portable device to be worn by users. Accordingly, there is a need

Apartment Hunting: Do You Follow Your Heart or Your Head?
"This is the one!" I've exclaimed firmly to a number of rental agents in my life, after only walking inside a couple of steps. They say there's no such thing as love at first sight, but when it comes to apartments, I'm a believer. Every single one of my apartment searches have started with me walking through a series of spaces that were okay, nice — even perfectly potential. And they've all ended with me calling off the search as soon as I walked through the door of the "one." I've just known instantly for each of the last seven homes I've lived in. This is both a good and bad thing.

Which Bedding Is Best For Disguising Dark Hairs?
Good Questions
Q: My fiancé and I are planning to move in together in a few months and I am having trouble finding good bedding that will not show (as much) or cling to his very dark coloured hair.

Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 3/1/13
Last season, Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout put fans in awe after robbing a homer from Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy. Trout went a long way in tracking the baseball and eventually timed his leap perfectly to secure the would-be solo shot. It was truly a glorious sight to behold.On April 13, the Halos will commemorate the magic moment by giving away a bobblehead that depicts the 2012 Rookie of the Year's signature grab. The resemblance of the replica bobblehead to the actual play is striking.Naturally, State Farm is the sponsor for the giveaway, because it is always wise to have some protection. And Trout certainly provided some protection for Jered Weaver's ERA on the play.Video of the catch can be seen below.Via MLBYour browser does not support iframes.
