At the Mob Wives reunion, I spoke to Renee Graziano, Carla Facciolo, and Karen Gravano about their current state of emotions, because it was clear the reunion brought up a lot of issues. As always, they were candid and very open, but a few minutes later after Carla had left and as I was saying goodbye, the conversation Renee and Karen went off the rails and took a turn for the hilarious.
Check out what Renee had to say about her fear of being parodied, and who they want to play them in the movie version of their lives.
Renee, when we spoke earlier this season, you mentioned that your childhood dream was to be on SNL. Would you consider doing one of those Facebook campaigns to try and host?
Renee: I'm surprised we haven't been made fun of yet to be quite honest! Well, their season ended, that's why. I definitely think when they come back they're gonna do the Mob Wives — that's when I'll regret a lot of the things I've done and said, is when I actually see a man playing me. [Laughs] That's when I'll say "F—, I shouldn't have said that." I think we deserve Saturday Night Live.
Karen: I agree.
Is there anyone you'd want to play you in the story of your life? I mean, if it's not a man playing you, who would you pick? Karen have you thought about that, if your book gets turned into a movie?
Karen: I'm in negotiations for that, actually…but I don't know. I really like Emily Blunt, I think she's a great actress.
Ooh, I can see that resemblance.
Renee: I love Julianna Margulies for me.
You guys are really good at casting yourselves, that's a good one too.
Karen: Natalie Portman I also love, I think she's a great actress. For me I'd be looking for a real actress, not someone with similar qualities who looks like me, definitely someone who can portray…my craziness.
Who would you cast to play the other ladies on Mob Wives?
Karen: [Laughs] Aren't we trying to stay friends with them?

Albert Camus wrote The Stranger in the context of his own background as a pied noir-- literally black foot-- or a French inhabitant of an African French colony, specifically Algeria. Through Mersault's perspective we are confronted with insight into the attitudes of the pieds noirs. The way he responds to his environment is interesting because while he was born in Algeria, there is an omnipresent allegiance to France and specifically Paris. For example, his boss seems shocked that he would not jump on an opportunity to work in Paris. And Mersault's interaction with his environment reflects this. He seems to detest Algeria, at times. Sunlight, usually a source of life and vitality in literature, is Mersault's demise. Further, his descriptions of the Arabs, not to mention his crimes against them, indicate a distaste for the natives of the place where his lives.
Mersault's seeming dislike for Algeria, though, is offset by a lack of desire to live in Paris and a simple lack of desire to change. In this way, Mersault seems not to belong anywhere and is in fact, a stranger. For a person like Camus, who moved to Paris from Algeria where he was born could feelings of being estranged be only natural? It seems that French colonialism in itself may have fueled Camus' existentialist impulse.

Rising Knights Youth Football Program is taking the extra step this season by requiring all of its coaches to be "Heads-Up" certified.
Heads-Up certification trains football coaches on equipment fitting, heat and hydration, heads up tackling, and concussion recognition and awareness.
"We've been having youth tackle football for over forty years and we are the premier league in the Quad Cities. We want to maintain that, we want to keep the integrity of what we do," said Rising Knights Football Commissioner, Tim O'Neil.
In 2009, more than 248,000 children went to the emergency room for concussions they received through sports. 15.8 percent of football players who sustain a concussion severe enough to lose consciousness will go back to play in the game the very same day.
"If there's any hint that the kid may be a little woozy, he's coming out [of the game]," said Dan Timmons, head coach of the Red Team. "Early detection is a big part of it. As we have learned more and more about it, coaches aren't just saying 'hey, toughen up and get back in the game,' we want to be cognizant if we think there's any kind of issue at all."
Coaches must take an online certification course and then receive hands-on training by an expert to teach them how to coach the kids on proper tackling form.
"Kids at this age never tackled before so they don't know how to tackle. Being taught how to tackle properly is vitally important. So keeping your head up, your nose up, and your hips low is very, very important as opposed to head down running into people, that's how injuries happen," said Timmons.

Dency Sargent, Director of the Capital Region Library Council, introduced herself and welcomed everyone. Ms. Sargent was pleased to be able to host the State Library Board meeting at the Capital Region Library Council.
Ann Clark announced that this is Board member Ed Sullivan's last meeting. Mr. Sullivan has resigned from his position on the State Library Board in order to more fully enjoy his retirement. Ms. Clark thanked Mr. Sullivan on behalf of the Board and personally, for all of his support, effort and leadership. He will be truly missed.
Mr. Sullivan stated that he would like to publicly thank Sharon Brettschneider, Mary Louise Jensen, Lynne Newell, Dean Nelson, and all the other State Library staff who work so hard to keep the State Library Board informed. Mr. Sullivan also thanked the Board and encouraged them to continue helping and supporting the Museum and the Museum staff.
It was MOVED (E. Sullivan) seconded (J. Hostage) THAT THE MINUTES OF THE September 23, 2002, BOARD MEETING BE APPROVED. PASSED unanimously.
Ken Wiggin stated that he has nothing to add to his written report. Mr. Wiggin introduced Public Records Administrator Eunice DiBella. Ms. DiBella gave each Board member a poster that was made for the Historic Documents Preservation Program. All of the items displayed in the poster are pictures of materials found in the State Archives. Graphics designer Peter Good was hired to design the poster. Ms. DiBella also distributed the Historic Documents Preservation Grant Program 2002 Annual Report. The Public Records Administrator is required by statute to submit an annual report on the grant program.
Connecticut Library Association (CLA): Karen McNulty, President of CLA, reported that plans for the 2003 CLA Conference are currently underway. It is scheduled for April 7-9, 2003 and will be held at the Mystic Marriott Hotel & Spa in Groton.
On November 21, CLA's Legislative Committee read a prepared statement at the Appropriations Committee hearing. The statement emphasized an appeal for no further budget reductions to iCONN and also encouraged continued support for library services.
In October, CLA honored four "Library Champions" for their special efforts on behalf of libraries. Those Champions were: Representative Shawn Johnston, Representative Peter Metz, Representative Sandy Nafis and Representative Andrea Stillman.
Advisory Council for Library Planning and Development (ACLPD): Sharon Brettschneider reported that at its October 16 meeting, ACLPD formed a Finance Committee to look at LSTA funds for this year. This Finance Committee has not met yet because the State hasn't received its allocation yet. ACLPD also formed a committee to look at library services for seniors.
Cooperating Library Service Units (CLSU): Anita Barney reported that the Children's Librarian's Roundtable of Eastern Connecticut Libraries has put together a list of books appropriate for different ages about different winter holidays. This selection of books was well prepared by Linda Williams, Children's Librarian at the Willimantic Library Service Center. This book list is available on Eastern Connecticut Libraries' website at www.ecl.org.
Association of Connecticut Library Boards (ACLB): Sharon Brettschneider reported for Dorothy Willett, President of ACLB. ACLB had a very successful and well attended Annual Leadership Conference in October. Plans are already underway for next year's conference which will again be held at the Water's Edge Resort. Mr. Wiggin added that the Conference has generated a lot of questions from the media due to the Patriot Act being one of the discussion items.
Friends: President Marge Storrs, reported that the spokesperson for April Friends of the Library Month will be Mary Ann Hoberman. Ms. Hoberman is a children's poet with over 20 books to her credit. Ms. Hoberman will also be a speaker at the Connecticut Library Association's Conference in April.
Museum Advisory Committee (MAC): Dean Nelson reported for Jack Shannahan who was unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Nelson distributed draft minutes from MAC's last meeting. The next MAC meeting is scheduled for January 15, 2003.
Mr. Nelson stated that the Connecticut for the Union exhibit is on hold until the middle of January 2003. Mr. Nelson also stated that the Museum Advisory Committee has a number of vacancies. The Committee is working on identifying potential new members.
Mr. Nelson reported on the Museum Assessment Program (MAP). The State Library received an IMLS grant to help fund this assessment of the Museum governance structure, program and services. Each Board member was given a packet that included a Self-Study Questionnaire. A self-study activity meeting is scheduled for December 5 and all Board members are invited. This will allow staff to take an in-depth look at its mission, goals, programs, use of resources and operations.
Ann Clark stated that a more appropriate venue to bring Museum issues to the Board would be to first bring them to the State Librarian. The State Librarian will then raise the issues for the Museum after reviewing the information submitted to him. Ms. Clark did not feel it was appropriate to respond to a draft version of the Museum Advisory Committee's minutes.
Ed Williams requested that in the future Mr. Nelson allow his information to be distributed to the Board in their packets so that they can have ample time to review it and be prepared to comment and discuss the issues brought to them.
Ed Sullivan expressed agreement with Mr. Williams and further encouraged the
Board members to continue their support for the Museum and its staff.
Advocacy Report - No report at this time.
Facilities Committee - No report at this time
Ann Clark stated that at the last Board meeting the Town of East Haven's grant extension request for the Hagaman Memorial Library was tabled due to a minor car accident the library's representative had on the way to the meeting. In the interim, the request has been withdrawn in writing and will not be placed back on the Board's agenda for consideration.
Budget Update: Ken Wiggin reported that all Bond funds were awarded at the September and October meetings of the Bond Commission. The monies for this year were removed from the budget but the State Library does have funds coming back from construction projects that are not going forward.
Mr. Wiggin continued that he has not heard anything official yet regarding layoffs except that all agencies will be affected. Memos are arriving daily from the Office of Policy and Management. It appears that fulltime union positions will be targeted. Due to the pending layoffs and the bumping that will result from them, the CCAR negotiations have been put on hold by the Office of Labor Relations.
Legislative Update: Ken Wiggin reported that between he and Sharon Brettschneider, all of the Connecticut Library Association's Library Champion presentations were attended.
With special thanks to Board member Bob Harris, the State Library was able to get the funds back for the book budget. Mr. Wiggin added that this is only a temporary solution. The book budget is still less than it was two years ago, but without this restoration of funds the book budget would be seriously impaired. Mr. Wiggin also credited Lynne Newell and the Division of Information Services staff for their efforts in restoring the book budget and managing the reductions.
2002-2003 State Public Library Construction Grant Recommendations: A description of all the projects and the ranking of all eligible applicants were distributed to the Board in their packets for review. The State bonding grant allocation is $0 for FY03. All grant funds are from previously awarded grants. It was MOVED (F. Petersen) seconded (L. Kibner) THAT THE STATE LIBRARY BOARD ACCEPTS THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE STATE PUBLIC LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION GRANT AWARDS FOR FY02-03 WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS WHERE APPROPRIATE. 1. THAT SOIL-BORING TESTS AND THE ARCHITECT'S LETTER ABOUT THE SOIL BE SUBMITTED TO STATE LIBRARY STAFF BEFORE SIGNING WITH A BUILDING CONTRACTOR. 2. THAT PERK TEST FOR SEPTIC TANK AND THE ARCHITECTS'S LETTER ABOUT THE SOIL BE SUBMITTED TO STATE LIBRARY STAFF BEFORE SIGNING WITH A BUILDING CONTRACTOR.

PASSED unanimously.

Harris) THAT THE STATE LIBRARY BOARD APPROVES THE FOLLOWING DATES FOR ITS REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS IN THE YEAR 2003: JANUARY 27, MARCH 24, MAY 19, JULY 28, SEPTEMBER 22, NOVEMBER 24. PASSED unanimously.
Board member Ed Williams was pleased to have been invited to the Libraries for the Future meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. Mr. Williams found the meeting very interesting. All the different libraries that attended discussed what the services that their library did and did not offer.
At 3:00 p.m. It was MOVED (J. Hostage) seconded (E. Williams) TO ADJOURN. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 27, 2003, at 1:15 p.m. (lunch at 12:30 p.m.) in the Attorney's Conference Room.

We strolled in here for a Sunday brunch after passing it by every week -- I don't know why we didn't stop sooner. The "hangover" wrap with eggs, bacon, potato, and chipotle was excellent. My girlfriend had sunny-side-up eggs, with a side of bacon and potato which were also good. Maybelle's is good people, good food, and if they really have wifi I'll be back again for coffee & brunch.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/28/2011
I live very close to Maybelle's....great for coffee, breakfast/brunch with gluten free options. As someone with a severe allergy to gluten products, I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating the staff was.
Posted by Degraw on 04/05/2011
I was very disappointed when Naidre's closed, but my first experience at Maybelle's Cafe gave me hope that this is also a great place. As a vegan, I had plenty of options on the menu, and the gluten-free member of our party was thrilled to be able to substitute gluten-free bread for the sandwiches. Additionally, the atmosphere is funky and laid-back, and it seems that they have free wifi. Overall, everyone enjoyed lunch. I will certainly be going back again.

As we first reported in the Microsoft Security Report Volume 13, Keygens have become the number one threat reported by users of Microsoft antimalware products. The research also indicates that 76 percent of users that downloaded Keygen or software cracks were also exposed to other, more dangerous malware.
Keygens are typically not very dangerous on their own. However, malware authors are having great success using deceptive downloads that either pretend to be Keygens or contain them as well as other malware to spread their malicious payloads. Customers reporting Keygens have higher rates of additional malware infections compared to other threats. Some of these threats try to trick users into paying for software that's distributed for free from trusted sources.

No. 6 Duke holds off East Carolina 83-74
Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood combined for 51 points and No. 6 Duke held off heavy underdog East Carolina 83-74 Tuesday in the NIT Tip-Off East Regional.
Hood recorded a career-high 30 points and went 12-of-12 at the free throw line.
Parker scored 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and came up with a couple of timely blocks and a momentum-swinging jam for the Blue Devils (4-1), who found themselves in a one-possession game with less than three minutes to play.
Hood, a Mississippi State transfer, sank two free throws before the freshman phenom Parker swatted away shot attempts near the basket from East Carolina's Prince Williams and Antonio Robinson with around two minutes to play.
Parker finished with six blocks.
"Winning plays — that's what we expect from him," Hood said of Parker. "He's a great player and that's what big-time players do. They make winning plays."
"It took some great plays like that to beat them," added Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Hood, who played every minute, scored 21 of his 30 in the second half and all 12 free throws came in the second as Duke, which led by as many as 18 points in the first half, watched its 43-32 halftime lead dwindle.
"They kind of slowed the game down," said Parker. "Our game is fastbreak, get out quick, secondary options. We chose to keep attacking the rim even though they went 2-3 zone defense. They kind of stopped us from doing what we usually do and it ended up working."
East Carolina (4-1) needed to erase a 17-point halftime deficit in Monday's 76-74 win over Norfolk State to advance to meet the Blue Devils, who moved on to next week's Tip-Off semifinals in New York's Madison Square Garden following Monday's tournament-opening rout of UNC-Asheville.
East Carolina had four players in double-figure scoring Tuesday, led by Prince Williams' 15 points. The Pirates shot 19-of-20 from the foul line and got within a point after a pair of Williams free throws with 6:58 to play in the game.
"We played hard tonight and we played hard last night," said Krzyzewski. "Our team was up to play. They respected the heck out of East Carolina. We were ready and we played hard. But so did they. This was a really good basketball game."
Parker's throwdown came with 4:52 left. The former Chicago prep star dribbled nearly the length of the floor before finishing with an emphatic one-handed slam over Robinson in transition that ignited the blue-clad Cameron Crazies.
"It was like a statement play," said Krzyzewski. "I thought it made all of our guys respond better."
Point guard Quinn Cook was the only other Duke player in double-figure scoring with 14 points. Amile Jefferson and Rasheed Sulaimon each had six and the Blue Devils' bench was outscored 25-6 by East Carolina.
"We don't come into a game knowing or thinking it's going to be a blowout," said Cook. "Those guys were good, very good. We started off well and then kind of let off the gas pedal a little bit and let up. And those guys, they hit shots and played good defense. They have some finishers on their team."
Marshall Guilmette looked like he could be one of those finishers for East Carolina. The 6-foot-10 sophomore was effective, scoring six points and giving Parker trouble on both ends of the floor, but was limited to seven minutes of action after leaving in the first half with a knee injury.
The loss snapped East Carolina's longest winning streak in school history at nine games as the Pirates and Blue Devils met for the first time since 1991. Duke now leads the all-time series 21-0.
Krzyzewski said East Carolina takes on the personality of its fourth-year head coach Jeff Lebo, who was 5-5 against Duke as a four-year letterman at North Carolina from 1985-89.
"We could not have had a better opponent, a classier opponent or a better game to build on than we did tonight," said Krzyzewski.
Duke hosts Vermont Sunday before resuming NIT Tip-Off play next Wednesday.

The news that Amnesty International's annual report on the state of the world has condemned the American raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan, as "unlawful" should surprise no one. The group's obtuse effort to brand every effort of the United States to defend itself against terrorists has long since reached the level of parody. Where once it could claim some moral legitimacy as a neutral compiler and observer of human rights violations wherever they were committed, the decision of the group to treat the West's ongoing conflict with al-Qaeda and its Islamist allies as if it were a matter of American persecution of Third World innocents has lost Amnesty its last shred of credibility.
The defense of Osama bin Laden's right to life and liberty should place the group's criticisms of Israel's efforts to fend off Palestinian terrorism in perspective. While human rights monitors are vital in a world where tyrannies are still commonplace, the inability of groups like AI to tell the difference between the perpetrators of violence and those attempting to defend themselves is a fatal flaw that has rendered them irrelevant to useful discussions about how to advance the cause of humanity.
It's not clear there was ever a time when Amnesty International deserved the moral standing that some in the press have accorded it. The human rights group's greatest strength was its willingness to take on all countries, including those beloved of the left. That meant rather than just focus its attention on the alleged abuses of the West, it also devoted a great deal of attention on those nations where denial of human rights was not the exception to the rule but the whole point of the state apparatus. If that meant treating the Soviet Union as being on the same moral plane as the United States, we were instructed that this was the price to be paid for having a group lionized by the left pay some attention to the plight of those imprisoned in the Gulag Archipelago. But a willingness to treat genuine problems in democratic countries where the rule of law is respected as no different from dictatorships and totalitarian regimes was always absurd. Now it has been overshadowed by the group's inability to comprehend that states have a right to defend themselves against terrorists.
In the case of Israel, the group largely ignores the fact that Gaza became a Hamas terrorist state after the Israeli withdrawal in 2005, and then its tyrannical Islamist masters allowed its territory to be used as a launching pad for terror strikes. Gaza's leaders are at war with Israel, but AI treats the Jewish state's attempts to keep military hardware out of the hands of those terrorists as a violation of human rights even though the flow of food and medicine into the area has not stopped. Israel is not perfect, but it is a functioning democracy where all have access to courts and a free press. The fact that AI also criticizes Hamas and Fatah for their tyrannical rule over Palestinians in the Gaza and West Bank doesn't provide legitimacy for the group's stands that have the effect of delegitimizing democratic Israel's right of self-defense.
It's not that every instance cited by AI is false. Many of their reports are reliable, especially those that note problems in the Third World, that few in the so-called human rights community that is obsessed with destroying Israel, care about. The organization's commitment to neutrality in conflicts is fine, the problem is that this has always brought with it a willingness to treat every country and cause as morally equivalent. Such a stance has led them to condemn the raid on Osama bin Laden and in the same report condemn Canada for not arresting former President George W. Bush on bogus human rights charges. AI isn't just a joke anymore; it's rendered itself completely irrelevant to the cause that it claims to cherish.

I would like to know if my macbook pro's temperature is normal:
It's higher when I am running Windows through Boot Camp (I'm running Windows 7 but OS doesn't make a difference, just the boot camp itself) but it's usually very low (I don't feel that it is hot when I touch it) when I am running Macintosh. I don't know if the fans don't function well on the Windows side, and I've tried using software like SpeedFan (or w.e) but it can't even detect the fans.
The laptop has been connected to AC Power since morning. As well as external monitor, USB keyboard & mouse. Also a stereo speaker.
Thanks a lot.
Those temps. (Low and High) are around average. Maybe a bit high, but nothing to really worry about. 80-90C would be when you want to worry because that's around 180-200F and that's not good especially for idle. You can also use a program like smcFanControl to see your temp. and fan speeds for the Mac side and compare the temps. Good luck.
Runs hotter than **** - 80c CPU A diode temp regularly. I set an alarm at 83c.
The early Core Duo Intel chips run hot anyway, but its has been something I've worried about for a long time.
Last Friday, it started shutting off "for no reason". I'd walk away from the system, and when I came back 20 or 30 min later, it was off.
Today, I took it to an Apple store, and they did a quick diag - bad battery.
I think the power draw of the bad battery was adding just enough heat to push it over the top and trigger an over-temp shutdown.
I've replaced the battery, and it didn't make a big difference in temp, but now it is running like it used to without shutting down.
One thing to consider: Turn down the brightness on the LCD display. I did that and the CPU A diode temp dropped to 73c. Maybe the cold-cathode tube used for the backlight uses too much power(?)
One other thing: Get a piece of 12"x18" ceramic wall tile and put it under your laptop. It does wonders at soaking up and dissipating the heat, and it costs $3 USD. And - if the battery catches on fire - it won't spread to your desk.
Thank you, ImageX. And I do use smcFan control but it doesn't affect when I increase the fan and then log on Windows, it only changes the speed while you're no Macintosh. I don't even need it when using Mac because it doesn't get hot at all, barely warm.
ticedoff, thanks for your input. I don't think there's anything with my battery, I mean it has been less than 13 months since I've bought it. I don't think the battery spoils to fast, especially when you calibrate it every week. About the ceramic wall tile, I can get that but there's something better I am thinking of getting; take a look at it
It's not the exact same as this one, but it's the same concept. Also, the one I am thinking of buying doesn't work with USB, but with a power adapter (which is better).
What do you think? Should I go ahead and buy it?
What I have noticed is that if prop up the back of the laptop case about 1/2", it lowers the internal temp about 4 to 6-degree C on the hottest component. I use a a ceramic coffee cup coaster under the back and it tilts the case a little. (Ceramic wall tiles, coffee cup coasters - you can tell I am CHEAP).
IMHO: Any gadget that gets its power from the laptop is bad. They draw power from the laptop which means shorter battery life (unplugged) or higher heat (battery charger). So, if you need a cooler, I think you are right to get the one that runs on an external power supply.
What I've also noticed is the when I run VMWare Fusion - the CPU core temps go sky-high. Without Fusion running, the CPU core temps drop to around 63c - with Fusion running they hover around 80 and spike to 90c.
I would have to assume any program that requires heavy CPU utilization will do the same.
Blame Apple for that. Also blame them for crap iPod Touch and iPhone batteries. Lol.
I'm wondering how cold is too cold to operate my MacBook pro. I live in a cold climate, and after a 10-minute walk to work in -15 C (that's 5 F for those living outside of Canada) with my laptop in an uninsulated shoulder bag, I usually let it warm up at room temperature for a while before firing it up.
Anybody have any idea how cold is too cold?

DENVER - Running back Kapri Bibbs had a lonely walk off the practice field Wednesday.
Bibbs, an undrafted free agent following his record-breaking 2013 season at Colorado State, had been sticking together with college teammate Shaquil Barrett as the two have been trying to survive roster cuts looming within the next month. But, this time, Bibbs trudged his way through a downpour of rain into the southwest tunnel of Sports Authority Field alone.

Are you like Galileo?
Or do you approach life more like a frightened Roman?
In 1663 Galileo Galilei was jailed as a heretic for having the audacity to suggest that the earth moved around the sun. The man whose groundbreaking work marked the dawn of modern astronomy was convicted of heresy because he had the gall to tell the people of Rome that the sun did not actually rise and set upon them.
Am I the only one who sees the dark humor in a genius being jailed for telling people (literally) that they are not the center of the universe?
During his trial, Galileo's theory known as "heliocentrism" was denounced, and he was instructed to "abandon the doctrine, not teach it to others and not to defend it."
Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment, later commuted to house arrest for the rest of his life. Which just goes to show how far some people will go to prove themselves right.
When the controversy around him was heating up, Galileo wrote a letter to Johaness Kepler, a German mathematician, in which he expressed his frustration that the people who opposed his discoveries refused to even look through his telescope.
The truth was right there in front of them, but they refused to see it because it conflicted with their long held beliefs.
It would be easy to write off 17th century Romans as unenlightened. But how many of us haven't acted the same way when our beliefs are challenged?
I remember a sales manager in one of our workshops whose head almost exploded when we suggested that perhaps his salespeople wait until the second interaction before presenting their products.
"That will never work," he said. "Our customers expect us to do it this way. It's the way everyone does it."
The senior leadership of his organization had already determined that their current method was no longer effective, and we had tons of data to support our approach. Yet there he was, beet red, eyes blazing, looking like he was defending one of his children, all because we had dared to suggest that perhaps it was time to alter his paradigm.
Of course, I'm the same woman who once almost came to blows with her mother-in-law over whether or not a six-week old baby should be given rice cereal.
We're naturally attached to our own point of view. And when something important to you -- like your job or your child -- emotions can run high. The problem is, once you develop a perspective on the "right" way to do something, it's often hard to see the merits of any seemingly conflicting information.
Whether it's the proper way to behave in church, the best way to run an IT project, or how to handle money, once we develop a belief system, we become convinced that our perception is the truth -- the whole and complete truth, no more data required.
So we stop asking questions, and often wind up spending more time defending our "truth" than we do exploring new information.
His fellow Romans were convinced they already knew everything, yet when Galileo gazed to the heavens, he saw mystery and questions.
My favorite Galileo quote is, "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered. The point is to discover them."
People who believe they're right about everything are rarely at the forefront of anything. Galileo was a curious fellow. How about you?

Content marketing is one of the big buzzwords of 2012 so far. With millions of websites vying for your customers' attention and hundreds of emails clogging their inboxes, now more than ever you have to prove to your audience that yours is a voice worth listening to.
And that's where content comes in. As Tim Berry noted in a recent Amex Open Forum post:
"Many experts prove themselves by offering content. One of the very best ways to validate who you are is by publishing what you know. And we do most of that for free."
The idea of delivering relevant, useful information to your customers is not new. But it's gone big-time. And the reason is the incredible amount of information that's available to anyone who can operate a keyboard. For instance, do you know how many search results you get when you type the words "business plan" into a Google search — 127,000,000!
All those results can't possibly be of equal quality, so Google does what it can to serve up the best results first using complicated algorithms. But how do you know who you can really trust?
Providing quality content is one way businesses can prove that they're a trustworthy and knowledgeable source in a sea of questionable offerings. If your customers land on a page that doesn't have the information they're looking for, or a page that promises one thing but delivers another, or one that simply comes across as amateurish or unhelpful, they'll quickly move on.
On the flipside, if they land on a page that explains something to them or gives them helpful information with no strings attached, they're more likely to consider that a source to be trusted. And if they trust your content, they're more likely to trust your product when you offer it to them.
The best part about content marketing is that it forces you to think like your customers and really hone in on what they want. Providing content that's useless to them isn't going to build any trust. Offering thinly veiled advertising and calling it content is going to turn them off. Being good at content marketing means truly understanding who your customers are, what they're looking for, and providing it to them.

In February, the Oregon Women Lawyers (OWLS) named Daniel Santos JD'85 recipient of the 2006 Judge Mercedes Deiz Award for promotion of minorities in the law.
A policy advisor to Gov. Ted Kulongoski, Santos has worked in the administration of four Oregon governors and influenced the lives of countless minorities throughout his career. In addition to providing clerkships and internships in the courts and governor's office for women and minorities, Santos has served as a founding member of Scholarships for Oregon Latinos, a program that connects Hispanic youth in need of financial assistance for college with local businesses. According to OWLS, this program alone has changed the lives of numerous Hispanic youths in Oregon, helping them gain greater access to higher education.
Santos will be honored, along with other award recipients, at the organization's 14th Annual Awards Dinner on March 17, 2006, at the Governor Hotel in Portland.

Brian Horton parted company with the Silkmen after their relegation from League Two was confirmed last month, with the club stating their desire to appoint a manager with specific knowledge of the Blue Square Bet Premier.
Former Manchester City boss Horton replaced Gary Simpson in March but was unable to turn around a dismal series of results that ended with Macc finishing bottom of the fourth tier and without a victory.
"We're very encouraged by the level of interest in the opportunity," Rance told Macclesfield's official website.
"We've received more than 40 serious applications, many of them with impressive CVs.
"While getting appointment right is paramount, we would also like to complete the process as soon as possible."

Truck gets stuck in underpass
HUNTINGTON -- The 20th Street underpass was closed for several hours Wednesday after a tractor trailer hauling 44,000 pounds of rolled wire became stuck.
Cpl. Cass McMillan said the Huntington Police Department was alerted by Cabell County 911 at 8:32 a.m. that the truck's trailer hit the overhead railroad bridge in the left northbound lane. CSX officials also were notified so the bridge could be inspected.
The accident initially closed only the northbound lanes, but southbound was shut down about 45 minutes later to allow officials with the Public Service Commission to inspect the truck and driver logs.
McMillan said the driver may face fines from the PSC and will be cited by HPD for failing to obey a traffic sign.
The 20th Street underpass has a height clearance of 12 feet, 6 inches, as does 14th Street West. The other underpasses as Hal Greer and 1st, 8th and 10th streets all have at least 13 foot clearances.
