Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) write of the 1882 proof gold dollar: "This date marks the first year that true proof gold dollars are actually available without too much difficulty." The authors' contention notwithstanding, Deep Cameo specimens, such as the near-Gem in this lot, are challenging. A gold-on-black appearance reaches out to the viewer, and the sharply struck design elements add extra appeal. Truly an impressive coin.

More details on the new MobileMe -- becoming Ustream + Foursquare?!
Cult of Mac, who previously rumored a storage-free iPhone nano, is now offering some more potential details on that rumored MobileMe update, including functionality that would make it a mashup of Ustream and Foursquare. According to a "source who wishes to remain nameless":
the centerpiece of the new MobileMe services is a dynamic webpage that sounds like a mashup of Facebook, Foursquare and Ustream. The webpage will collect a ton of information that is automatically uploaded from an iOS device, including the user's location, photos they've taken and video they've shot. It will also detail music they're listening to, games they're playing, applications they're using, music and apps they've purchased, web sites they've visited, status updates, and so on. Users can even send live video to their page, much like the live video-streaming service Ustream.
They also say Apple will offer privacy controls for those who may wish not share. A second service called "Tokens" is also discussed:
Tokens (the name is temporary) allows users to tag GPS locations with information, tips and interesting photos. Users can see what tokens others have left behind. The information could be restaurant reviews, meal recommendations, special deals offered by retailers, or photos of events that took place there. However, the system is complex and Apple is having trouble getting it to work properly, our source said. (And yeah, Apple can't seem to make the simple version of MobileMe work properly now – but that's another story).
I'm not going to lie, this isn't really what any of us had been hoping for in a MobileMe revamp. In fact it sounds a little like the Kin services! We've discussed universal login so you can enter your password to activate an iPhone or iPad (rather than tether to iTunes) and pull down all your settings. We've talked about iTunes.com media streaming so you don't have to choose which of your music and movies you sync over USB. We've begged for them to just buy DropBox already. We've never really sat down and dreamed about another Foursquare, Gowalla or Places -- or Ustream for that matter.
Is this the MobileMe revamp you've been looking for? Let us know in comments!

More details on the new MobileMe -- becoming Ustream + Foursquare?!
I agree, but at least with Apple, I will have to explicitly opt-in to a clearly defined service, and there will be easily found and painless opt-out options if I so choose. Apple really is the only company that takes their customers' privacy seriously, and they would not compromise that if they make MobileMe more social.
I have no desire to pay for any of those things listed ... however if they make it a free service ... maybe. I can see the usefulness, but Apple should be careful that they may be stretching a bit too far from their core competency.
Facebook, Foursquare, Ustream are all done and ingrained - what are you going to offer to differentiate Apple? And will this be another closed ecosystem that only iPhone users can update? If so, you're missing the point of what makes all those other platforms work.
Sounds like Cult of Mac is making up stuff. They have nothing.
The only people I believe to have real info in the Apple rumors game are the WSJ and DaringFireball. Maybe the Loop. Yukari Iwatani Kane from the WSJ is fed info (could be true, could be not) directly from Apple PR for timed leaks or FUD. John Gruber has reliable sources within Apple. And Jim Dalrymple seems to have old-guard Apple sources within Apple, just not as good as Gruber's.
Everyone else is speculating and making up stories according to their whims.
So, Apple likely fed information to the WSJ stating that:
"Apple is considering making MobileMe a free service that would serve as a "locker" for personal memorabilia such as photos, music and videos, eliminating the need for devices to carry a lot of memory, the people familiar with the situation said.
MobileMe, part of an industry wave known as cloud computing, also could become a focal point for a new online music service that Apple has been developing for more than a year, the people said. Social networking would be another key component, one of the people said."
This is all we know. And the $300, subsidized for free, iPhone "nano" was also part of the WSJ article.
I'm skeptical this can really work in a world where wireless data services cost $15 to $50 per month on top of $40 per month voice services. Maybe I'll believe when wireless data and voice total costs go down to $40 per month along with reasonable bandwidth amounts, I'm skeptical that this whole cloud-only device strategy could really work.
I think MM is a pretty good service. While everyone complains about it's cost and function I use it daily for syncing my devices. Most of the time it works flawless. But if these are the new features coming to MM I don't need nor want them. I don't use check in anyway. Being 40 years old I really don't care for people to know my every step. I have enough ways to connect to friends now. So take it or leave, I'll leave it!
I really don't believe Apple should pursue a social direction. Ping has failed horribly and though these features sound useful at the least, they certainly are not desired or needed. Perhaps it could work, but my guess is it would be a dead end.
What I want is untethered close to real time updating between devices, especially for music, apps and podcasts on top of the existing mail and contacts.
It's 2011 and i still have to activate und sync my iPhone via USB-cable! WTF?!
This should be the highest priority for a new Mobile Me Service: Wireles syncing between all devices.
And MobileMe shoud be FREE!
The service today sucks big time and i have to pay for that crap?!
Because there are Google, Facebook, Foursquare and Dropbox i don't need any of the services. But i will probaly use them, if they are for free.

Those looking to get patriotic and kick off their Independence Day weekend a little early are in luck: the Air National Guard Band of the South will play four short shows on the aircraft carrier Yorktown July 1.
If you go
What: Air National Guard Band of the South performances
When: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 1
Where: Aboard the aircraft carrier Yorktown
Admission: Free with purchase of Patriots Point ticket ($20 for adults and $12 for children ages 6-11)
The 40 National Guard members will play 15-20 minute shows from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Patriots Point, with time between performances to mingle with the audience, according to the band's superintendent, Senior Master Sgt. Brent Whitaker.
"We're kind of like the official handshake of the Air Force," Whitaker said. "It's hard for folks to get a one-on-one with fighter pilots, but they can come up to us. Music is a universal language, and it's a connection from the military to the civilian world."
The band, based at McGhee-Tyson Air National Guard Base near Knoxville, Tenn., will perform in Virginia Beach, Va., and Panama City Beach, Fla., in addition to Charleston as part of its summer concert series.
"We try to go to places where we can catch people from all over, since a lot of people are on vacation," said Whitaker. "That gives them the chance to go home and talk about what they've seen."
The Band of the South plays everything from patriotic tunes to jazz to current rock hits. It is a traditional National Guard unit in that its members have civilian jobs, according to Tech. Sgt. Lori Reeves.
"They meet one weekend per month to practice or perform - they drill like any other unit," she said.
The band tours and plays at special occasions, but also travels overseas, said Whitaker.
"We work with military support and troop morale, but when we're over there, we're more than just ambassadors," he said. "We demonstrate to the civilians in these countries the humanity of our military, which, believe it or not, makes a huge difference."

FORT WORTH, Texas and AUSTIN, Texas, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) is proud to announce a partnership with seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong to form a new American Pro-Tour cycling team. Beginning in 2010, Lance Armstrong will compete for Team RadioShack as a cyclist, runner and triathlete in events around the world, including the 2010 Tour de France.
Lance Armstrong returned to the world stage of professional cycling in order to promote the efforts of the LIVESTRONG Foundation and their fight against cancer. From the start of the 2009 season at the Tour Down Under in Australia, Lance's return has generated significant attention and has allowed LIVESTRONG to step up awareness, grassroots action and fundraising in the global fight against cancer.
"This has been a great season so far - the response in the countries we've been to has been amazing and it's clear now that this was the right choice. Utilizing the massive media attention that the sport receives has been the perfect vehicle to help spread the LIVESTRONG message around the world," said Lance Armstrong. "To be able to compete for an American team comprised of the world's top cyclists, supported by the best coaches and staff - I couldn't be happier to partner with RadioShack, a truly iconic American brand," said Armstrong.
"Teaming up with RadioShack makes sense for a number of reasons. For one, it's very appealing to me that they have a huge base of stores throughout the U.S. and Mexico. We have an incredible opportunity to leverage RadioShack's connection to tens of millions of people to spread the LIVESTRONG message," said Armstrong. "Also, in cycling, the technology we use on our bikes matters - it allows us to compete at t

Legendary 1879 Flowing Hair Stella1879 $4 PR63 Cameo PCGS Secure. CAC. Judd-1635, Pollock-1833, R.3. It is interesting to contrast the stories of the origin of the 1879 Flowing Hair stellas as recounted by the foremost references on pattern issues, Judd and Pollock. The Andrew Pollock III pattern reference (1994), citing research by Robert Julian in The Numismatist, November 1987, claims that 25 "original" examples of the 1879 Flowing Hair were struck for distribution to Congress, included in three-piece sets with the 1879 metric dollar (Judd-1617/1618) and the 1879 goloid dollar (Judd-1626/1627). The Judd numbers for the metric and goloid dollars depend on the actual metallurgical content, which can only be determined by sophisticated assay measurements.
Judd-1635 in Gold, PR63 Cameo
Judd-1635 in Gold, PR63 Cameo
Pollock writes, "... because of strong demand in Congress, an additional four hundred sets were issued in early 1880" at the Mint's cost of $6.10. He adds, "It is believed that many of these restrike sets contained metric dollars and goloid dollars struck in standard 0.900 fine silver rather than in metric alloy or goloid alloy. In addition to the 425 supplied to Congress, it has been conjectured that a few other sets may have been produced for Mint officers." Under the actual listing for 1879 Flowing Hair stellas produced in metric alloy, Pollock-1832, Pollock cites Don Taxay, who "reports in his Comprehensive Catalogue that the original pieces were coined in metric alloy, whereas the remaining four hundred were produced in standard gold alloy, variety [1833]."
The Judd pattern reference lumps the "original" and "restrike" gold 1879 Flowing Hair stellas under the Judd-1635 number, framing the striking of the 1879-dated stellas in this way:
"It was announced by someone, perhaps a Mint official, that 15 of the 1879 Flowing Hair $4 Stellas were struck, these as patterns, but there was a sufficient demand for them that a few hundred more were struck for congressmen, who are allowed to acquire them for $6.50 each. This was an era of great secrecy at the Mint, and virtually the entire pattern coinage of 1879, including the 'Washlady' and Schoolgirl silver coins, were produced for the private profit of Mint officials. These were not given to congressmen or openly sold to collectors at the time, and, indeed, for many issues, their very existence was not disclosed. Collectors learned of them years later, and at the time were only able to piece together information as no facts are known to have been recorded. There was furor concerning the 1879 Flowing Hair Stella, and dealer S.K. Harzfeld, for one, sought to find about it. This and other efforts led to certain pieces being available to the numismatic fraternity."
The story of the 1879 stellas nonetheless seems to be based on rumor and copying older references. All 1879 Flowing Hair stellas seen appear to have been struck on planchets made of standard .900 fine coin gold intended for five dollar coins, shaved down to 80% of their original thickness, which accounts for the striations seen on all examples, including this Cameo Select specimen.
The striated devices are lightly but appreciably frosted, creating distinct contrast with the yellow-gold mirrors. Though the field show a number of light but ultimately grade-defining hairlines, the overall eye appeal is strong, especially in the context of the grade, and this is a great coin for the collector who wants a fundamentally pleasing example of the legendary 1879 Flowing Hair stella. Population: 7 in 63 Cameo, 38 finer (4/11).(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 28AZ, PCGS# 88057)

The city of Madison said Wednesday that it's seeking proposals from companies that are interested in bringing a full service, affordable grocery store to a west neighborhood.
Madison said it is seeking proposals from developers, property owners, and grocery store operators that will establish a grocery store in the Allied Drive neighborhood, which is considered a food desert since the Walgreen's on Verona Road closed last year.
Proposals are due June 15, but a letter of intent to apply is due May 15.
The city said in mid-January that it would provide $300,000 in financial assistance as an incentive to draw a store to the area. The funds will be in the form of a low-interest or partially forgivable loan.
The Dane County Board of Supervisors approved an additional $3.75 million in funding Thursday to increase radio coverage in rural areas and inside large buildings, according to a release.
The allocation was approved as part of a larger resolution approving the issuing of bonds to pay for commitments already approved in the 2015 capital budget, officials said. The new funding is in addition to the $3 million already dedicated to improvements in the DaneCom radio system.
News 3 reported in December that parts of DaneCom would be taken offline at the beginning of 2015 to determine if the county's new emergency communication system was causing emergency radio problems.
The Madison Metropolitan School District will ask voters for $41 million school facilities referendum in April.
A school district official said the school board finalized a project list involving 16 schools during a Monday meeting.
If approved, the money would be used to improve accessibility in 10 schools, add classroom space to five schools and renovate four schools in need of upgrades.
The biggest projects include $8 million in renovations at Jefferson Middle School and $4 million to redo the theater at East High School.
If approved, taxpayers owning an average $237,000 home would pay an additional $62.95 a year in property taxes for 10 years.
"If we can get these addressed not only will we create stronger schools and learning environments for our students, but we will set ourselves up for some long-term facilities planning that will really help bring our vision as a school district to life," MMSD Superintendent Jennifer Cheatham said.
The Madison Water Utility Board said this week that it would continue to add fluoride to the city's drinking water.
The utility board voted at its meeting Tuesday night to keep its fluoride policy. The city's been adding fluoride to water to improve dental health for 68 years since the policy was adopted in 1946.
Madison Water Utility currently aims for a target fluoride concentration of 0.7 parts per million, as recommended by county, national and international health agencies.
In a news release Wednesday, the city of Madison said it took public comments on the policy Tuesday for about two hours before the vote.
The policy will be reviewed again in 2024.
RELATED: Utility to review adding fluoride to Madison water
Two Madison parks are set to get water-play installations after the city Parks Foundation received a $50,000 grant.
A splash park is planned for Reindahl Park, on Madison's east side, and Elver Park, on the city's west side. The city said construction on the additions, which feature interactive water attractions with spray toys and fountains, is scheduled to begin in late spring. The splash parks are expected to open in August.
The city said Monday that the Oscar Rennebohm Foundation Inc. gave $50,000 to the project.
Funding for the $2 million project was contributed by the city of Madison, which is committed to 85 percent of the cost, plus $50,000 from the Evjue Foundation, $10,000 from American Family Insurance and $50,000 from the Madison Community Foundation.
For more information about the splash parks, visit www.madisonparksfoundation.org.
Dane County could make a deal on a new permanent day shelter for the homeless in the next couple of weeks.
Officials said the push for finding a place for the homeless is because there are so many people still trying to get on their feet after the recession.
The ideal location would be in the immediate downtown area so the homeless can have quick access to services to help them get jobs and get back on their feet. But as the real estate market bounces back, properties that fit the county's needs and fit into the $600,000 budget have been scarce.
As a result, their focus has turned to properties some distance from the city center, like the MARC East building on Lien Road.
"Part of the answer is that the homeless are everywhere in Dane County and everywhere in the city of Madison. But there are many services that are centralized in the central part of Madison, and a building like MARC would require a substantial transportation plan," Hendrick said.
Dane County will replace the Alliant Energy Center's barns with multi-use pavilions in a $24 million project set to begin early next year.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said Tuesday that the county will award a Middleton construction company a nearly $20.7 million contract to build the pavilions.
The project is pending funding approval from the Wisconsin State Building Commission and the Dane County Board of Supervisors.
Middleton-based Miron Construction will build the pavilions that will create 290,000 square feet of multi-use space on the footprint of the Alliant Energy Center's existing barns, according to a news release from Parisi's office.
Demolition of the barns is expected to begin next year, with the project's estimated completion in time for the 2014 World Dairy Expo.

"Upgrade" to SUV. "We're out of that midsize car you reserved, but we'll give you a Ford Expedition at no extra charge." You might hear that from a rental agent. Or maybe you just picked out an SUV from one of those "pick any available car" lots. You might even have wanted an SUV. Although most credit cards cover smaller SUVs, some credit-card collision coverage specifically exclude full-size SUV models.
Vans and Pickups You probably already know that almost no credit card coverage applies to trucks or large vans: If you're renting a U-Haul or some other hauling vehicle, you have to buy the CDW, regardless of the credit card you use. The main exception is AMEX extra-cost "Premium coverage" that includes some trucks.
Flat Tires. A blowout or flat tire may not come under the definition of "damage" to a rented car, unless the tire problem is caused by an accident, in which case neither CDW nor credit card coverage is guaranteed to cover the associated expenses.
Unlocked Car. Normally, neither a rental company's theft insurance nor a credit card will cover you if a police report or any other source notes that the car was unlocked at the time of the theft. And a related problem is that you may not be covered for theft if your car is stolen but you don't have possession of the key.
Stuck Vehicle. The MileCard report cites an instance of a driver whose rented car was caught in a flash flood and isolated for several days. The driver got out by rescue helicopter, but the rental company demanded payment for the entire time until the car was returned. You can also be charged for extra days if your rented car is towed, for whatever reason.
Damage to Others. Neither a credit card nor a rental company's CDW covers you for any harm you might do to any other person or damage you might do to someone else's property. That sort of claim is handled under personal liability, not collision. In the U.S., some states require that rental companies include a minimum level of liability as part of the rental rate, but it's almost always very small compared to the financial risk, and some states require no coverage at all. Typically, credit cards don't cover liability, either; rental companies sell it in addition to CDW. The liability insurance most drivers are required to carry on their own cars often extends to rented cars. And some rentals through AARP rates enjoy higher than minimum liability coverage.
Prepaid CDW. In some rentals -- especially outside the U.S. -- partial collision coverage may be included in the base rate, but with a very high deductible. Credit card coverage almost always requires that you decline the rental company's CDW, but card issuers' policies on bundled CDW differ. Some card policies cover the deductible if you can't avoid paying for some CDW; others refuse. Check with your card.
In Sum. Collision coverage is a minefield: The rental companies know of the loopholes in credit card coverage -- and they may invent a few when they're selling you on CDW. You can avoid most problems by buying CDW, but the prices, up to $30 a day, are wildly inflated. I continue to recommend relying on a credit card, but you have to know your card's fine print before making a decision.

Ormus,Monatomic Gold are we close to finding the Fabled Elixir of Youth or the Fountain of Youth?
Recent findings about the exotic properties of monatomic gold and the platinum group metals are rediscoveries of an advanced science understood or at least known by the ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Israelite priests.
Throughout the past century, and especially since the days of Albert Einstein, scientists have been searching for the Holy Grail of modern physics, which they classify as a "Unified Theory of Everything". This has led to some amazing discoveries and the emergence of a whole new language, which includes superstrings, quarks and superconductivity, along with an awareness of hitherto unknown planes of existence beyond our own familiar space-time.
In the field of quantum mechanics, scientists have recently confirmed that matter can indeed be in two places at once. It is now established that, through quantum entanglement, particles millions of light-years apart can be connected without physical contact. Space-time can now be manipulated, teleportation is becoming a reality, gravity-resistant material is heralded for air transport, and virtual science has led to a greater understanding of hyper-dimensional environments.
When discussing the attributes of monatomic gold and the platinum group metals in Genesis of the Grail Kings, Laurence Gardiner remarked that it would not be long before the potential of these noble metals was announced for environment-friendly fuel cells. These, He suggested, would supersede fossil fuels for transportation and other practical purposes. At the same time, He touched on their future use in the medical arena, particularly in the field of cancer treatment. More especially, he looked at the gravity-defying attributes of these exotic white-powder substances and at their abilities to superconduct and literally bend space-time.
The truly astonishing fact about the enigmatic white powder of high-spin gold and platinum group metals is that it is not actually a new discovery. The ancient Mesopotamians called it shem-an-na and the Egyptians described it as mfkzt (vowels are omitted in the hieroglyph translation), while the Alexandrians venerated it as a gift from Paradise and later chemists such as Nicolas Flamel called it the Philosophers' Stone.
At all stages of its history, the sacred "powder of projection" was reckoned to have extraordinary powers of levitation, transmutation and teleportation. It was said to produce brilliant light and deadly rays, while at the same time being a key to active physical longevity. In today's world, the Institute for Advanced Studies (Austin, Texas, USA) has described the substance as "exotic matter", and superconductivity (one of its primary characteristics) has been claimed by the Center for Advanced Study (University of Illinois, USA) as "the most remarkable physical property in the universe".
It is clear, however, from the documentary evidence of ancient times, that the attributes of superconductors and gravity defiance were known, even if not understood, in a distant world of priestly levitation, godly communication and the phenomenal power of the electrikus. In Greek mythology the quest for the secret of this substance was at the heart of the Golden Fleece legend, while in biblical terms it was the mystical realm of the Ark of the Covenant--the golden coffer which Moses brought out of Sinai and was later housed in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Irrespective of all this, the earliest historical record of mfkzt powder is probably the most telling of all. It appears in a very specific guise in the Egyptian Pyramid Texts--sacred writings which adorn the 5th-dynasty pyramid tomb of King Unas at Saqqara. Here is described the locality in which the King is said to live forever with the gods, and it is called the Field of Mfkzt--an ethereal location associated with an otherworldly dimension called the Field of the Blessed.
Given that mysterious processes concerning gold have an alchemical ring about them, and since the monatomic powder of projection, although made from noble metals, is classified as a "stone", let us consider the writings of the 17th-century alchemist Eirenaeus Philalethes. This renowned British philosopher--revered by Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Elias Ashmole and others of his day--produced a work in 1667 entitled Secrets Revealed. In this treatise, he discussed the nature of the Philosophers' Stone, which was commonly thought to transmute base metal into gold. Setting the record straight, Philalethes made the point that the Stone was itself made of gold, and that the Philosophers' art was in perfecting this process: Our Stone is nothing but gold digested to the highest degree of purity and subtle fixation ...Our gold, no longer vulgar, is the ultimate goal of Nature.
In another treatise entitled A Brief Guide to the Celestial Ruby, Philalethes pronounced: It is called a Stone by virtue of its fixed nature; it resists the action of fire as successfully as any stone. In species it is gold, more purer [sic] than the purest; it is fixed and incombustible like a stone, but its appearance is that of a very fine powder.
Some time earlier, in the 15th century, the French alchemist Nicolas Flamel wrote in his Last Testament, dated 22 November 1416, that when the noble metal was perfectly dried and digested it made a fine "powder of gold", which is the Philosophers' Stone.

Jackson likely out this week with calf injury
Asked if Jackson's injury in practice was related to what happened Sunday night, Turner said: "Not that I'm aware of, no."
Jackson had a bitter contract dispute with the Chargers that cost him approximately $3 million.
His original five-year contract expired after last season. But because this is an uncapped year, he would have needed six seasons to become an unrestricted free agent.
Unhappy that he didn't get a long-term deal, Jackson refused to sign a $3,268,000, one-year tender as a restricted free agent, and stayed away until Oct. 29. He reported in time to serve a three-game suspension on the roster exempt list - he was placed there in a hardball move by the front office - and then be on the active roster for the final six games to accrue a season toward unrestricted free agency.
When Jackson hadn't signed the tender by June 15, the Chargers slashed their offer to 110 percent of his 2009 salary, or $583,000. Due to the games he missed, he'll make less than $300,000 this year.
General manager A.J. Smith didn't return a call seeking comment.
Two years ago, Smith bristled when LaDainian Tomlinson revealed the severity of a groin injury that forced him to miss a playoff loss at Pittsburgh.
A season earlier, the team's shenanigans during the AFC championship game hurt Tomlinson's reputation. Although Tomlinson had been forced out with a sprained knee, the Chargers announced in the press box that the running back had a "sore knee and can return."
Afterward, Turner gave a conflicting assessment. Asked what teammates should think when they played hurt but Tomlinson didn't, the coach replied: "That's the stupidest thing you could ask. The guy was not able to go. The doctors and trainers said he couldn't go."
The Chargers refused to say where the initial overly optimistic prognosis came from.

Called for open house in Miami at hotel. Then spoke to HR for 20mins. Told me to come to another open house for broward will email me when she has the time but gave me a link to take Assessment. Then I went to open house at a chilis in Miami. The Area Director who interviewed me did not seem like a people person and I could tell he wasn't impressed. After they said they would contact me to see if they wanted to go further. Overall I could tell it didn't go good. I didn't hear from them for a week so I emailed HR and she didn't reply until 2 days later. She sent me a generic email stating they didn't think I had enough experience and would keep looking for other candidates which is funny being I have been in the biz 10 years and a manager for 4 years and 6weeks later it looks like they are still looking for managers. Come on its Beer and Burgers not Cheesecake Factory. Overall Experience left a bad taste in my mouth where I don't even want to eat their as a customer. Also I leave you on this note Darden hired me and they are a more prestigious company than chilis so eat that chilis. Your loss their gain

Got an email saying that they wanted to have a phone interview. Emailed back and had the phone interview the next day. It lasted about twenty minutes and the questions weren't the usual "Describe a situation where you had to coach an employee", it was more like "tell me about your last job". At the end of the call the interviewer told me she wanted me to meet the general manager at one of the restaurants and move ahead with the interview process. That was it.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
Last year,
Weekend America
(co-hosted by former Seattleite Bill Radke—we miss you, Bill!)
a story on the Princeton Laptop Orchestra,
which calls itself
It's an interesting experiment,
but computer music doesn't really move me.
It's not the computer-ness that bugs me
(I was fascinated by music played on Gameboys, after all)
but rather the lack of traditional musicality.
That said,
the chord that opens the piece on online gambling creeps me out.
Not because of the piece itself,
but because it is dangerously reminiscent of the chord played
at the Tulalip Casino,
a steady synthesized triad played at low volume so you can
barely hear it.
And after a while, you simply stop hearing it,
and then you have to whack yourself on the head and make yourself
hear it again because allowing it to sink into your subconscious
means that they've won.
Whenever there is a coordination problem,
somebody says, "Hey, let's create a process."
Now you have two coordination problems.
I see this over and over,
and paradoxically the people who create a process for
managing a coordinating problem come off looking like
proactive problem-solvers who get ahead of the problem.
They're the go-getters, the people who look at each problem
as an opportunity for continuous improvement.
All that great management buzzword stuff.
It doesn't matter whether or not the process actually works,
because failure is an orphan,
and besides, nobody follows up a year later to see whether
your process actually improved things or whether it was abandoned six
weeks after roll-out.
You get the credit for proposing the process in the first place.
Consider this problem at a hypothetical toy company:
Some rumors have started that one of their toy cars is dangerous
because of a wiring flaw that can result in excessive heat
and possible fire.
(It doesn't matter what the crisis is.
I just made up something vaguely plausible.)
Employees all over the company are getting email from their relatives
asking about the toys,
but the employees don't know what the story is either.
Presumably, the safety department is investigating the problem
and providing guidance to the PR and marketing departments
so they can prepare a public response, and if there really is
a problem, they're working with the product recall team to organize
how the recall will be carried out,
and they're working with the product engineering team to figure out
what changes need to be made to the product to avoid the problem.
In other words, the safety department is up to their ears in crisis.
A employee from the dolls department, whose brother asked him
about this toy car problem,
can't find any information on the status of this issue and
sends email to the "Employee Issues" alias, and a dozen people
chime in with "Yes, please, we would like this information,
I want to know what I can tell my brother and everybody
else who is asking me about it.
I might even post it on my blog so I can try to counteract
some of the out-of-control rumors that are out there."
A half hour later, somebody from the safety department responds,
"Yes, we know about this, we're working on it.
Please don't say anything publicly since we're still investigating."
Somebody watching the saga unfold
proposes a process by which employees can be kept up to date
on the status of these types of emergent crises.
This is the wrong solution to the problem.
The reason why this is the wrong solution is that
it suffers from the classic "Create work for somebody else" problem.
The people who benefit from this site are not the same people
who would make the site useful.
This doesn't give the people who make the site useful much incentive to do so.
They're busy dealing with the emergency.
They don't want to waste the time of
one of their valuable investigators to do "internal PR".
This scenario repeats itself on a less dramatic scale with
various types of inter-group coordination problems.
One group wants to be kept advised of the progress of another group
for whatever reason.
But if the second group doesn't need the first group for anything,
they have no incentive to keep the first group informed.
For example, suppose the first team provides an interface that
the second team uses,
and the first team decides that they need to redesign the interface
for whatever reason.
During the transition,
the first team provides both interfaces so that the second team
can transition from the old to the new,
with the request that the second team let them know when they
have finished transitioning to the new interface so they can
remove support for the old one.
Unless the first team keeps on top of things,
the second team will probably forget to tell the first team
when they have completed the transition,
or they may even forget to transition to the new interface at all!
After all, the old interface still works.
In this case, the traditional way of making the second team care
is to file a bug against them saying, "Stop using the old interface."
That way, it shows up in their bug statistics as a reminder,
and when they actually do the work, they can resolve the bug
back to the first team.
But you can imagine a scenario where the information the first team
wants is more of a continuous nature rather than a single event.
(Since bugs track single events.)
It's the season where people with fruit trees in their yard
are drowning in fresh fruit, be they pears, apples, plums, whatever.
It's not long before you find yourself desperately looking for
people to give it away to, having pretty much run out of things
you can make plums into.
This is where
Community Fruit Tree Harvest steps in.
(Coverage in
The Seattle Times
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
There's also
Lettuce Link for donating produce from your home garden.)
The volunteers at Community Fruit Tree Harvest will visit your house
and pick the fruit from your tree,
donating it to local food banks.
Everybody wins: You don't have to deal with all the extra fruit,
the food banks get fresh fruit,
nothing goes to waste.
(This is one of those "Why didn't somebody think of this sooner?"
type of programs.)
Contact telephone numbers are on the web pages.
It appears that they currently cover the Wallingford,
Phinney Ridge, and Green Lake neighborhoods.
Let me get this out of the way up front:
Creating a thread from DllMain is
not recommended.
The discussion here has to do with explaining the behavior you
may observe if you violate this advice.
Commenter Pete points out that "according to Usenet"
creating a thread in DllMain is supposed to deadlock,
but that's not what he saw.
All he saw was that the thread entry procedure was not called.
I'm going to set aside what "according to Usenet" means.
Recall how a thread starts up.
When you call CreateThread, a kernel thread object
is created and scheduled.
Once the thread gets a chance to run,
the kernel calls all the
DllMain functions with the
DLL_THREAD_ATTACH code.
Once that's done, the thread's entry point is called.
The issue with deadlocks is that all DllMain
functions are serialized.
At most one DllMain can be running at a time.
Suppose a DllMain function is running and it creates
a thread.
As we noted above, a kernel thread object is created and scheduled,
and the first thing the thread does is notify all the DLLs
with DLL_THREAD_ATTACH.
Since DllMain functions are serialized,
the attempt to send out the DLL_THREAD_ATTACH notifications
must wait until the current DllMain function returns.
That's why you observe that the new thread's entry point doesn't
get called until after you return from DllMain.
The new thread hasn't even made it that far;
it's still working on the
DLL_THREAD_ATTACH notifications.
On the other hand, there is no actual deadlock here.
The new thread will get itself off the ground once everybody else
has finished doing their DllMain work.
So what is this deadlock that Usenet talks about?
If you've been following along, you should spot it easily enough.
If your DllMain function creates a thread
and then waits for the thread to do something
(e.g., waits for the thread to signal an event that says
that it has finished initializing,
then you've created a deadlock.
The DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH notification handler inside
DllMain is waiting for the new thread to run,
but the new thread can't run until the DllMain
function returns so that it can send a new DLL_THREAD_ATTACH
This deadlock is much more commonly seen in
where a DLL wants to shut down its worker threads and wait for them
to clean up before it unloads itself.
You can't wait for a thread inside DLL_PROCESS_DETACH
because that thread needs to send out the DLL_THREAD_DETACH
notifications before it exits, which it can't do until your
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH handler returns.
(It is for this thread cleanup case that the function
FreeLibraryAndExitThread was created.)
Undeterred by his
failure to win a Senate seat last year,
Mike Goodspaceguy Nelson once again
ran for King County Council.
I can't bring myself to listen to
his appearance on the local public radio station
(fortunately, he wasn't running in my district).
You can
read his and opponent Dow Constantine's candidate statements
on the King County Elections Web site.
I stumbled across a candidate questionnaire that the
Historic Seattle Preservation Foundation
submitted to all of the candidates for King County City Council,
and comparing
Michael Goodspaceguy Nelson's response
the response from mainstream candidates Dow Constantine
Jane Hague,
I have to say that Nelson comes off looking pretty good.
He answers each question honestly, assigning medium or even low priority
to the historic society's hot-button issues, describing how they fit
into his overall plan.
By comparison, Constantine and Hague
pander to the foundation by rating
everything as high priority.
The sole "medium priority" was their assessment of how the council as a whole
prioritized an issue.
"See? I pander to you better than the rest of the council!"
(Note: This message was pre-recorded.
The race was no contest;
Constantine won easily.)
In other local election news,
the race for
another seat on the King County council has been suffering a series of
bizarre twists.
The incumbent Jane Hague
was arrested for drunk driving back in June,
and the news was kept quiet
until just days before the election,
at which point local politics were thrown into a tizzy.
But wait, there's more.
You'd think the opposition party would be ecstatic,
but they were too busy dealing with their own problems to care,
for the opposition candidate was
perennial also-ran Richard Pope.
("Some people go to baseball games or go fishing.
Richard files for office.")
How did a fringe candidate become the opposition candidate?
State law permits candidates to claim whatever party affiliation they wish,
without needing permission from the party itself,
and Pope has taken advantage of this, changing parties three times during
his career.
(I'm simplifying;
read the story for details.)
So now we have a choice in November
between an accused drunk and a fringe candidate.
It's going to be a weird election.
One of my many favorite Dilbert cartoons is also one of the
earlier ones.
the first strip reprinted in this article.
It may not actually have happened, but I was told that
that one project many years ago replaced its lead manager.
While noteworthy, this sort of thing happens often enough that
people take it in stride.
What put it into a higher category, however,
was that the email that announced this change at the top
was sent while the outgoing manager was out of the country
on vacation.
One can imagine the now-former manager's surprise upon returning
to the office.
"Dum di dum, catching up on email, hey what the..."
Now, the outgoing manager may very well have known
about this change before
heading out on vacation,
but the story is funnier (and I therefore like to believe)
that it was a surprise.

Not everybody was ready to pat Jason Collins on the back for becoming the first active male athlete from one of the United States' four major sports leagues to openly announce he's gay. While many of Collins' peers gave him encouragement via social media and other outlets after the news broke via Sports Illustrated on Monday morning, new Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace ignited a bit of controversy for comments he wrote. "All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH ...," Wallace wrote from his Twitter account (@Wallace17_daKid). He followed up with: "I'm not bashing anybody don't have anything against anyone I just don't understand it." Not surprisingly, Wallace's comments were met with much disdain and were soon deleted from his Twitter feed and replaced with an apology. "Never said anything was right or wrong I just said I don't understand!! Deeply sorry for anyone that I offended." After four years in Pittsburgh, Wallace joined the Dolp...

Before I brick my Note II again and have to get another replacement, can some one confirm this rom works on N7105?
It's hinted towards but nothing confirmed in writing, and if the above is confirmed. Can anyone clarify what issues could be experienced when trying to load this ROM onto an N7105T? I understand the CSC & language files will need to be loaded separately via Odin which should allow the phone to boot.
If this hasn't been confirmed, I'll put down a $150 (AUD) donation to the first developer who releases a 4.2+ ROM for the N7105T if I'm given an expectation of when work would be commenced. I realise I may not have a massive post count to back up the legitimacy of my posting, but I'm willing to give $50 as an initial down payment and the remainder on completion. It defies belief how long I've trolled around the WWW looking for a suitable custom Cyangen-based ROM. :-/

Should the Braves keep Heyward down on the farm?
Mar 4, 2010, 1:23 PM EDT
With the Jason Heyward hype reaching Weiterian levels — even Chipper Jones is getting into the act — it's easy to convince yourself that the Braves are going to break camp with Heyward as their starting right fielder. Bryan Smith of FanGraphs, however, thinks everyone should just slow down. After citing the way the Rays handled Evan Longoria, he says:
There is simply no argument to be made that the marginal value gained by playing Jason Heyward over Matt Diaz for three weeks in April is worth losing Heyward's rights for the 2016
season. Yes, calling him up on April 25 will mean that Heyward will be
a "Super Two", and thus, eligible for arbitration a year early. But
arbitration contracts are still discounts over free agent ones, and I
can already promise you that Heyward's first free agent contract will
be a big one. Without delving into the Heyward vs. Strasburg argument,
the Braves should certainly take note that Nats GM Mike Rizzo has
already written off his right-handed star beginning the season in
Washington. If you think it's because they want some minor league
seasoning for him, you're crazy — they just want an extra year of not
dealing with Scott Boras.
Excellent point. My only two objections — and I could be convinced to drop them — are:
(1) Unlike the 2010 Braves, the 2010 Nats don't and the 2008 Rays didn't truly expect to contend. Yes, the Rays did in fact contend — and how — but when the decision to keep Longoria down on the farm was made, I suspect that even the Rays' brass had third place as their realistic goal. Atlanta, in contrast, truly stands a chance to compete with the Phillies this year. And remember: they could have made it a better competition last year if it wasn't for the fact that they punted the outfield for three months, getting zilcho from anyone out there; and
(2) Braves fans really, really, really, really, really want to see Jason Heyward.
No, I don't think that either of those two reasons trumps Bryan's reasoning — no amount of April ticket sales or October playoff sales will outweigh what they'll save by having Heyward locked up in 2016 — but those two things are likely going to weigh heavily on the minds of the Braves' front office, so it's a slightly less clear choice for them with Heyward than it was for the Rays with Longoria and the Nats with Strasburg.

That might not be a bad idea. The ethanol harvest will be upon us shortly and they'll need a big strong guy like that to help hold down the washouts as they're fed into the woodchipper.
- Tom - Mar 4, 2010 at 1:49 PM
Aren't the Braves almost certainly going to sign Heyward to a contract that buys out his arbitration years and maybe his first free agent years? So doesn't keeping him down for a few months not matter a bit, just like it didn't matter at all for Longoria? And if he's as good as they think he's going to be, there is no way they are going to let him get to free agency so why bother keeping down for that month?
- MC - Mar 4, 2010 at 2:03 PM
To me, this is an easy call, why the Braves GM/Management didn't nip this in the bud prior to Spring Training is kinda nuts to me… Leave it up in the air and this is what happens.
- Charles Gates - Mar 4, 2010 at 2:24 PM
There's a good chance I read it wrong in the few minutes I had to spare, but Matt Diaz is projected to be a 1.0 WAR player in 2010 according to fangraphs.com where as the 'Second Coming' is projected to be a 1.1 WAR player in 2010. I could do the math and prorate that .1 WAR across the ~20 game difference between opening day and April 25th…but I think you get the point. While I believe that Braves fans (really^really^really)^2 want to see 'He Who Pwned Chuck Norris' at the Major League level, I would think that most of them are smart enough to understand why they have to wait a month.
- Regnemer - Mar 4, 2010 at 2:28 PM
I don't see how the Braves can send Heyward down for a month at this point. The fans will demand he's in RF on opening day.
- Alex Poterack - Mar 4, 2010 at 2:38 PM
Even though the Braves are planning to contend, the chance that Jason Heyward will make a meaningful contribution towards that in the first two weeks is virtually nil. Sure, if the Braves end up losing the division to the Phillies by one game, you can say maybe he would've been a difference maker, but when you're talking about affecting one game in a two-week period, anyone could be that difference maker, and you just can't assume he's going to make a real difference then.
And in response to Tom, "Aren't the Braves almost certainly going to sign Heyward to a contract that buys out his arbitration years and maybe his first free agent years?" First of all, I imagine the Braves would like to, but that doesn't necessarily mean Heyward wants to. Furthermore, if they keep him down a couple weeks, that would reduce the cost of a buyout, because they'd be buying out an additional arbitration year, rather than a free agency year.
I would definitely keep him down for a couple weeks; I think it's a no-brainer.
- Mr. Mojo Risin - Mar 4, 2010 at 2:56 PM
It's a known fact the Braves owners are cheap. The front office may have to look at one factor. Yes Bobby Cox may want Heyward in RF on opening day. But Cox is not the manager after this year and when Heyward is eligible for free agency Bobby will either be sitting in an office or on a rocking chair. For Atlanta to delay a huge paycheck would be considered in their best interest long-term until Heyward can prove he's worthy of the Upton/Longoria/Zimmerman type contract that buys out his arbitration years and maybe one or two free agent seasons. But that did get me to thinking…if Tommy Hanson broke camp with the club instead of waiting until June to debut, would the Braves have been better off with him instead of Kawakami? Again, that was the Braves being cheap.

"Aren't the Braves almost certainly going to sign Heyward to a contract that buys out his arbitration years and maybe his first free agent years? So doesn't keeping him down for a few months not matter a bit, just like it didn't matter at all for Longoria?"
I agree with this. The Brewers did the same thing to Braun arguably costing them a playoff spot in 2007 and wound up giving him a long-term deal anyway (hindsight 20/20 and all that). They claimed it was so he could work on his fielding @ 3B but he stunk for 7 weeks and they brought him up anyway. Now the Brewers were playing well without Braun prior to calling him up (28-19), however, they came out of training camp with less than their best team even though they thought they had a chance to make a run. Instead, they miss the playoffs by 2 games. I think Braun instead of Graffinino and Counsell at 3b for the first 7 weeks of the season might have changed that.
I understand the strictly buisness side being argued for above. And if the Braves basically think 2010 is a rebuilding year with limited potential no matter how many ABs Heyward gets then maybe they should leave him down. If they think they can make the playoffs this year (and he's a big reason why) he should be on the field Opening Day. Also, no one making these decision for the Braves has the first clue about a.)what their team will look like in 2016 or b.)if any of them will be around to see it anyway.
- Ray Steele - Mar 4, 2010 at 3:27 PM
It ain't just the Braves fans. It's the Atlanta media, who have killed Frank Wren (sometimes deservedly) ever since he botched the John Smoltz departure last year. David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution thinks we're supposed to be gaga over Zeus's OPS after TWO exhibition games against mostly bush pitching. That being said, a mediocre Heyward is almost certainly better than a 100% Melky Cabrera, and since Wren is still catching crap for the Melky for Vazquez, unless Zeus goes Oh for the rest of Spring, Wren will be hanged if Zeus isn't in RF.

Product description
At the same time Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe. The Fuehrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: "degenerate" works he despised.In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Momuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture. Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.

Author information
Robert Edsel began his career in the oil and gas exploration business. In 1996 he moved to Europe to pursue his interests in the arts. Settling in Florence seeing some of the great works, he wondered how all of the monuments and art treasures survived the devastation of World War II. During the ensuing years, he devoted himself to finding the answer. In the process, he commissioned major research that has resulted in this book. Robert also coproduced the related documentary film, The Rape of Europa, and cowrote Rescuing Da Vinci, a photographic history of an art heist of epic proportions and the Allied rescue effort. The author lives in Dallas. Bret Witter cowrote the bestseller Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World (Grand Central, 2008). He lives in Louisville, KY.

Review: Gibson's New J-29 is an Acoustic-Rock Workhorse
So much classic music has been made on a Gibson J-45. Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, and John Lennon are just a few of the greats who have relied on this workhorse of a guitar, with its taut bass and overall warmth, not to mention its receptiveness to both forceful strumming and delicate fingerpicking. Gibson recently introduced a pair of curious variations on the J-45—the J-15 and J-29—swapping out walnut and rosewood bodies, respectively, for the traditional mahogany.
