A truly wireless guitar system that quickly converts for use with AMT mics.
The AMT Wi5G Guitar Wireless System is a removable 16-selectable-channel wireless setup. The Wi5G is intended to work with all types of electric guitars, allowing players to perform wirelessly without being tied down to a belt pack or cables of any type. The Wi5G features a plug-and-play-style transmitter that is very light in weight and delivers exceptional sound clarity and wireless reception.
The most impressive feature of AMT's wireless mic system is its ability to convert and adapt to all AMT microphones. The Wi5G transmitter, after unplugging the included 1/4" adapter from your guitar, can then plug directly into any AMT microphone with D.C.T. (Disconnect Cable Technology), giving you an acoustic mic setup. Along with the ability to switch between 16 channels, this versatility makes the Wi5G an invaluable tool for guitar players.
The Wi5G wireless transmitter features an on/off and mute switch along with a Gain adjustment. An LED indicates on/off status and low battery. One AAA battery is needed to power the transmitter. Designed to be used with either pedals or an acoustic guitar, the receiver comes with both a 1/3" and XLR output.
The AMT Wi5G works with all types of electric guitars as well as AMT microphone models: LS, WS, TA2, Z1, P800, M40, S15G, VS, S25B, and the S18C. Microphones sold separately.

"Oh noooo!" A mournful gasp echoed through the stadium. Welsh captain Sam Warburton had just spear-tackled French winger Vincent Clerc in the semi-final of the 2011 Rugby World Cup in Auckland. The referee immediately reached for his book, banishing Warburton from the field for the rest of the game.
It was a key moment in the match. Despite being reduced to 14 men for most of the game, the Welsh fought bravely, but it wasn't enough. Wales went down 9-8 to France in an agonizing defeat.
Welsh coach Warren Gatland was philosophical about the result: "When you get two quality teams and one team goes down to 14 men then the other team should win the game comfortably … It was absolutely courageous what [our guys] did to push France that close and nearly win the game."
In the competitive world of rugby, each player has a specific job to do on the field. If a player is sent off, then that job doesn't get done and the whole team feels the impact. In the competitive world of business, the same logic should hold. In theory, every employee should be responsible for certain tasks and duties which are important to the business. If those tasks and duties are not being done, then the broader organization should feel the impact.
So what does this imply for companies that institute mass retrenchment programs in an effort to control costs? The underlying premise of such a decision is that the business employs a large number of people whose tasks and duties are not sufficiently important to the business to justify their salaries. If that's the case, then why were these people employed in the first place? And if the business environment has changed over time so that their jobs are no longer relevant, then why weren't their tasks and duties updated to reflect the new business conditions? It's a clear failure of leadership.
Some managers might argue that the tasks and duties of the retrenched employees are still important, but can easily be carried out by other employees. This too is a failure of leadership since it implies mass excess capacity in the employee base before the retrenchment program.
In most cases, leaders will admit that there is actually very little excess capacity in the employee base. They will also admit that there are many tasks and duties which still need to be done even though the responsible employees have been retrenched. They simply assume that these tasks and duties will be taken over by an already stretched work-force. This can have disastrous consequences. Employee stress skyrockets while morale declines. Inevitably, the best people leave – because they can. Whichever way you look at it, it's a massive failure of leadership.
What about hiring freezes? Some leaders don't go to the extreme of a mass retrenchment program, but put a stop to any new appointments in the organization.
Taking a step back, the reason why a company hires a new employee is because there are certain tasks and duties which are important to the business and which need to be done. The amount paid to the employee in terms of salary and benefits should be less than the value this person adds to the business – else it wouldn't make sense to hire him or her. A hiring freeze implies that there is no amount – no matter how low – which reflects the value of the important tasks and duties which this person would carry out. This is ludicrous.
A hiring freeze also means that when people voluntarily leave the organization, their direct managers are prevented from replacing them. The implicit assumption is that these people's tasks and duties magically disappear when they leave. Leaders might argue that they won't disappear, but they can easily be absorbed by the remaining work-force. Tell that to the remaining forward pack after Sam Warburton was banished from the rugby field. It fundamentally weakened the scrum and put the team at a permanent disadvantage for the rest of the game. Why do leaders think it will be any different in the work-place?
When retrenchment programs or hiring freezes are implemented, it's the rank-and-file employees who suffer. The need for such a program, however, is a clear indication of leadership failure. We should hold them accountable.

cd Mac/BuildScript

python build-installer.py

You will need a net connection, because that will download and build a bunch of

Freedom of Press for Me, Not for Thee
5:56 PM, Aug 5, 2011 • By ZACK MUNSON
John Kerry announced today on Morning Joe that he believes the media should take some responsibility for keeping the Tea Party and its ideas out of our public discourse:
After watching the interview, and recalling the excruciating hours of television news Kerry has occupied over the years, I was tempted to agree that not everybody deserves a seat at the media lunch counter. I was nearly convinced to not write these very words.
Until, that is, I recalled the words of a certain senator and former presidential candidate:
And then I remembered: wrong or right, I do in fact believe in that unreal, unserious, and absolutely absurd notion: a free press.

Insulating Framed Walls With Fiberglass Batts
Insulation's ability to slow heat is called its R-value. The higher the number, the better the insulation works to keep heat inside in winter and outside in summer.
Batts are carefully manufactured to have a specific insulating value. To keeps its rated R-value, a batt must not be compressed or crushed during installation. For example, a standard R-19 batt actually needs 6 1/4 in. to achieve its full insulating value. When that batt is installed in a 2x6 cavity, which is actually 5 1/2-in. deep, its R-value drops to less than R-18. Higher density batts are rated to deliver R-21 in 5 1/2 in.
Depending on the project, framing may be spaced 16 in. on center or 24 in. on center. Select batts to fit this framing "module." For 2x4 framing, batts are cut 15 in. wide. You can choose from R-11, R-13, and R-15. For 2x6 framing, the batts are cut either 15 in. or 23 in. wide with R-value choices of 19 or 21. The batts are made about 1/2 in. wider than the space between studs so they'll fit properly.
Batts should completely fill the stud cavity, fitting snugly against every piece of framing, the sheathing and the drywall. Crushing a batt dramatically reduces its R-value.
Even tiny voids can cause heat loss, because they allow air to move around inside the stud cavity. If a batt is stapled to the sides of the studs, crushed or cut short, air can rise up the warm side of the cavity and fall down the cool side. Heat rides on this convective loop, actually traveling around the insulation.
The drawings below show solutions to the most common batt installation problems.
–Mike O'Brien, O'Brien & Associates
Narrow Spots
To insulate narrow cavities, cut–not crush– the batt to get it to fit.
Batts and Wires
Electrical wires are one major obstacle to a good insulation job, because they run through just about every exterior wall. It's tempting to shove the batt behind the wire, but that crushes much of the insulation in each cavity (right). There are two easy ways to fit batts around electrical wires.
Option 1
Option 2
Electrical Boxes
Cutting is also needed around electrical boxes to prevent compression (right).
|First, work the batt behind the box. Then cut the batt around the box so that the fiberglass puffs up. When you finish, only the material behind the box is actually compressed.
Vapor retarders
One essential element of the moisture protection system is a vapor retarder. Vapor retarders help protect wall framing from decay caused by condensation. To be considered a vapor retarder, a material must have a "perm rating" of less than one. You have several types of vapor retarders to choose from. Be careful to install the vapor retarder in a way that doesn't interfere with the wall insulation.
Face stapling
Staple the flanges of kraft or foil-faced batts to the surface of the stud facing the inside of the house. "Side stapling" compresses the insulation.
No stapling
Since the new high density batts are more rigid than older batts and won't settle over time, there is no need to staple the flanges at all. This saves installation time and allows drywallers to use glue on the face of studs.
Plastic sheets
Some insulators prefer to install unfaced batts and staple up clear 4- or 6-mil polyethylene sheets. Staple the plastic to the top and bottom plates. At seams, overlap the sheets three in. and staple both sheets to a stud.
If batts don't fit
Some places are just too tight for batt insulation to do a good job. Use foam boards to insulate behind electrical panels, bathroom cabinets and heating ducts located in outside walls.
Vapor retarder paint is a good way to avoid conflicts with insulation. Unfaced batts are installed and covered with drywall. Select a primer that has a perm rating of less than one. About a dozen specially made vapor retarder paints are now available through paint suppliers.

« Copper: A Gentleman's Disagreement |
| Empty As Can Be »
Posted by Derek
A good rule to follow: hold onto your wallet when two exciting, complicated fields of research are combined. Nature reported earlier this spring on a good example of this, the announcement by a small biotech called Primegen that they'd used carbon nanotubes to reprogram stem cells. (Here's a good article from VentureBeat on the same announcement, and there's an excellent piece on the announcement and the company in Forbes).
Stem cells and nanostructures are two undeniably hot areas of research. And also undeniable is that fact that they're both in their very early days - the amount of important information we don't know about both of these topics must be really impressive, which is why so many people are beavering away at them. So what are the odds of getting them to work together? Not as good as the odds that someone thought the combination would make a good press release, I'm afraid.
The PrimeGen web site, though a bit better than that VentureBeat article describes it, still has some odd notes to it. I particularly like this phrase: "PrimeGen's broad intellectual property portfolio is founded on groundbreaking platform technologies invented by our team of dedicated and visionary scientists." Yep, we talk that way all the time in this business. You also have to raise an eyebrow at this part: "Disease and injury applications of PrimeCell™ include Alzheimer's Disease, Cardiac Disease, Diabetes, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Leukemia, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Spinal Cord Injury, Autoimmune Disease, Stroke, Skin Regeneration and Wound Healing." It'll mow your yard, too, if you're willing to participate in the next funding round.
The next sentence is the key one: "The extent to which stem cells can be used to treat injury and illness has yet to be fully evaluated. . ." You can say that again! In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing that in 36-point bold across the top of every stem cell company web page and press release. But what are the chances of that? As good as the chance that nanotechnology will suddenly going provide us a way to make the stem cells do what we want, I'm afraid. . .

What will happen to the pharma industry, when generic drugs become widely used? Will that stop big pharmas from researching and discovering new drugs and new therapys? Will patient care suffer as a result of the widespread use of generic drugs? I am curious to see how you see it??
8. Erik on May 18, 2008 11:55 AM writes...
To Ng Swee Choon:
Could you clarify what you mean when you say that "generic drugs become widely used"? Because as it currently stands, they are widely used. The bulk of the most useful drugs out there (such as warfarin and the penicillins) are already off patent and used in generic form. Most of the statins will be off patent in a few years as well.
Since the former case is the current state, I assume you're talking about something more radical, like dropping patent protection altogether. This will have highly predictable results: a large number of drug companies will either go out of business or switch entirely to biomolecules, where the cost of developing a generic is much higher, ensuring some degree of protection. This will result in an immediate improvement in patient care, as numerous drugs will become cheaper. However, the opportunity costs would be high, as precious few, if any, new drugs would be developed. Moreover, the immediate improvement would not be terribly great, since a large number of drugs currently in use are already generic.
9. eugene on May 18, 2008 2:43 PM writes...
I think he doesn't mean that Eric, and it's a good question that might deserve its own blog post. I don't think that many people are aware that drugs had a limited patent life all their entire life and that pharma has to constantly do research on new things in order to stay competitive.
I think in the developing world, a lot of the drugs made recently are still on patent, and the people there haven't experienced a history of drugs going off patent and generic makers moving in. Tying in to that, is generic firms in developing countries disregarding patent law, with companies complaining that they need that money to make new drugs, and people might get concerned that patents are expiring on some exotic HIV treatments, new antibiotics, etc...
That being said, I have no idea where the hell Ng Swee Chon is from, but his website makes me think of Malaysia for some reason. Plus, he could also mean widespread disregard of patent law, and then your explanation is probably better.
10. Ng Swee Choon on May 20, 2008 5:10 AM writes...
Thanks Eugene,
No I am not from hell. You are right, I am from malaysia, where we do have patency laws protecting patents, but with rising cost of healthcare, more doctors and the public hospitals are turning to generics, and so the patent companies are feeling the pinch. I am quite concern that soon, no new drugs would be researched upon and discovered. Looks like in US it is different. In Malaysia, most GPs and the public hospitals use generics, where available. The private ( fee for service specialist ) still use mainly patented drugs, unless patents expire and everyone in generic.
Thanks for all your thoughts.

A lot of people in the US, probably even most of us, also use generics when they are available. But perhaps we mean different things by "when they are available". For recently-developed drugs, generics don't become available until the patent expires.
Patent duration in the US is twenty years, but I'm given to understand that doesn't necessarily mean twenty years after the product becomes available to the public. I think it's more like twenty years after the patent is granted, so by the time the drug gets through FDA approval and everything and becomes available to the public (even with prescription), there is often somewhat less than twenty years left. I'm not sure exactly how long, and it probably varies.
Once the patent does expire, though, generics start to appear and then the price drops considerably. The brand-name drug will still consistently cost more than the generics, but not nearly as much as drugs that are still under patent protection.
So, what new drugs are developed? Mostly ones that are not really equivalent to any already-available drugs. For example, I don't know when the last time was that a genuinely new over-the-counter analgesic pill came out, but I think it might have been ibuprofen, and that's been in generics at least since the eighties. Why are drug companies not pouring resources into new over-the-counter analgesic pills? Because there's no money in it. Why is there no money in it? Because we don't *need* it. We already have several perfectly good ones on the market (not least acetaminophen, which has very few side effects in normal dosages).
I'll admit, there are a few exceptions, drugs the world could really use that aren't being developed at least partly for lack of money. If more of the developed world were more tropical, there would probably be more money going into antimalarials, for instance. But IMO these things are the exception rather than the rule.
On the whole, the market is working as it should: the things that the drug development companies are pouring effort (and money) into are mostly drugs that people really want to buy, which currently aren't really available, or the ones that are available have significant problems. This is exactly what you would want. So I would say that the patent system as it stands, at least in the US, is doing a pretty good job of driving the right drug development efforts.
The *results* aren't always what the companies doing the development are hoping for, but that's not an economics problem.
If any changes in US patent law are needed, I think that medicinal chemistry is not the field to look at for that.
(Notice I have consistently talked only about the situation in the US. I haven't said anything about Malaysia because frankly I don't know enough to make an intelligent statement about it.)

Q I am a bit desperate, and I hope you can help me. I am a 42 year old female and I need to get rid of this fat and get toned up. I have not joined a gym because I am very self-conscious because I have wide hips, a large tushy, and I carry most of my weight in my lower body.
I also have a very thin upper body in comparison to my lower half.
My doctor has even told me that I won't be able to lose the weight because I have "birthing hips."
For the last year I have not lost any weight and I maintain my weight at 182 to 185 pounds, yet I continue to do sit ups and I spend one hour a day on the treadmill.
Am I destined to always look like this? I hope you have some good advice for me. — at a loss in anderson
A Thank you for writing and expressing yourself. That is a difficult thing for most people to do and I commend you for it.
I want to say that your doctor needs to stick to medicine and leave weight loss and fitness to the experts. That's the second time I have had a doctor tell a woman that she had "birthing hips" and could not lose the lower body weight. That statement is absolutely absurd, as we have transformed thousands of women who had the same dilemma and given them the body of their dreams with Ultra Fit.
We can easily reduce the hips, buttocks and thighs and tone up the lower body with a simple formula.
First, focus on strength training and increasing lean muscle on your upper body, therefore increasing your metabolic rate (metabolism) and allowing you the ability to burn off that lower body fat faster and more efficiently.
We must also incorporate some great lower body exercises that will focus on your thighs, hips, buttocks and hamstrings.
The biggest mistake people make when trying to lose lower body fat is to do more cardio or run it off. Another mistake is to drop their calories to nothing by eating less food.
A woman will lose upper body muscle and strength when she does more cardio and cuts calories and quality nutrients from her diet. This will cause the body to burn fewer calories and also slow down the metabolic rate.
This method is as useful as running on a treadmill. You get nowhere fast!
So what should you do?
Join a gym and invest in yourself and your future.
You will need the proper equipment and a trainer to empower you with the knowledge to perform the exercises and workouts correctly.
Start off with a base strength training program and increase the intensity of each workout by slowly increasing the weight on your upper body exercises or decreasing your rest time in between sets.
You will have smaller, firmer hips and buttocks and a nice lean, fit and shapely lower body.

It had been rumored for months, but today Blockbuster finally made it official and filed for bankruptcy. The 3,000-unit chain isn't necessarily going to liquidate; indeed, Movie Gallery put up the fight for years after filing before ultimately discontinuing operations earlier this year. However, it's not a good sign in the company's ongoing battle against Netflix and Redbox. The store by me just shuttered, but others are holding on.

BEAVER CROSSING, Neb. -- A traffic stop for speeding on Interstate 80 in Seward County led to one arrest and the seizure of two pounds of heroin.
Just before 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, June 25, a trooper stopped an eastbound 2007 Dodge Charger for speeding just west of the Beaver Crossing exit on I-80.
The trooper was given consent to search the vehicle. The search led to the seizure of two pounds of heroin. The heroin, concealed under the center console, was contained in three packages and has an estimated street value of $360,000.
The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, Joe T. Bolanos, 31, King City, Calif., was lodged in the Seward County Jail on possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Luis Alberto Machodo, a Venezuelan cabinet member, said last night he plans to use psychological techniques of "early intervention" in infant development, curriculum changes in the school system, and adult education through the mass media to improve the level of intelligence in Venezuela.
Speaking at a lecture sponsored by the Committee on Latin American and Iberian Studies, the Venezuelan minister for the development of human intelligence yesterday called for a "peaceful revolution" in worldwide educational methods "to raise man's intellectual capabilities to their full potential."
As a part of his program, Machodo has asked Richard J. Herrnstein, professor of Psychology, and Jorge I. Dominguez, professor of Government, to oversee an educational experiment called "Project Intelligence" in Venezuela's school system two years from now.
In an interview before the speech, Machodo said his goal is to "democratize science all over the world and to put into the hands of all the knowledge that has only been in the hands of scientists before."
As a part of his program in Venezuela, Machodo said every student will eventually have to take a course on how to develop his own intelligence as part of the school curriculum. "We will also educate adults and especially mothers on how to educate their children," he added.
Herrnstein said, "One does not have to believe that all of Machado's vision will be realized to want to know how much of it can be realized," adding "there are some rather hard rocks in this stream of developing intelligence."
He said his role in the intelligence project will be to explore what contributions psychologists can make to Machado's vision.

Invictus: A Leadership Case Study for Years to Come January 4 2010
So one of the wonderful things (for me at least) about the end of year holidays is the opportunity to see a lot of first run movies. This year I saw Avatar (terrific 3D cinematography, weak script), Up in the Air (brilliant rendition of soulless business travel) and Invictus which is the subject of this post.
In case you're not familiar with it, Invictus is director Clint Eastwood's portrayal of Nelson Mandela's first days as president of post-apartheid South Africa and how Mandela used the historically hapless South African Springboks rugby team to bring the country together. When he took office in 1994, Mandela recognized that the Springboks were the passion of white South Africans while black South Africans would cheer for whatever team was playing against the Springboks. As it happened, the 1995 Rugby World Cup was scheduled to take place in South Africa. Embodied by the slogan, "One Team, One Country," Mandela set the goal of the Springboks winning the World Cup. With Morgan Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Springboks team captain, Francois Pinnear, this trailer provides a nice overview of the movie.
If you're a leader or are someone who is working to develop leaders (the two are not mutually exclusive by the way), you have to see this movie. When it comes out on DVD, you have to buy it and then promise yourself you're going to watch it again at least 2 or 3 times a year. It is simply one of the best case studies I've ever seen of how a transformative leader practices his craft. I wish I had taken notes when I saw it, but here's a quick list of some of the ways in which the movie portrays how Mandela established his leadership as President:
Show Courtesy and Grace: On his first morning as President in his new office, Mandela slowly walked through the suite making eye contact, smiling and saying, "Good morning," to everyone he passed. This included the white staff members of the previous President who were packing their boxes on the assumption that they would be sacked later that day.
Build a Team for the Future: Mandela stunned both his supporters and doubters by building a staff of both blacks and whites. This extended to his personal security detail which ended up including white agents who had been deployed against Mandela's African National Congress in the apartheid era. Mandela wanted a unified country and he understood that his own team needed to reflect that goal.
Back Up Your Priorities with Audacious Goals: Mandela had two immediate priorities as President – reconciliation between blacks and whites and building the economic base of the country. He seized on the goal of winning the World Cup as a means to encourage reconciliation. On the economic front, the movie makes the point that Mandela spent a lot of his time travelling around the globe encouraging other countries to invest in South Africa.
Visibly Support Your Goals: Mandela's team made sure there was plenty of press coverage of him meeting with world leaders about investing in his country. He was diligent and courageous in attending the rugby matches in a stadium filled with tens of thousands of people who were hostile to him personally and to what he represented.
Leverage Your Footprint: Mandela understood how to combine the power of his office with personal humility to establish connections that powerfully motivated people. To convince the captain, Francois Pinnear, that the rugby team had an important role to play in the country's future, he invited him to tea at the presidential office and then immediately put him at ease by talking sports. In one memorable scene in the movie, Mandela is shown quizzing himself on the names of the Springbok players. A few scenes later, after his presidential helicopter has landed on the practice field, Mandela walks up to each player, shakes their hand, addresses them by name and wishes them luck. The combination of leveraging the footprint of his office while showing personal grace motivated people to do amazing things for themselves and their country.
I could go on and on, but you need to see the movie yourself. If you have seen it, what leadership lessons stood out most strongly for you? Do any of the lessons I drew out here have particular resonance with your own personal experience?
8 Responses to "Invictus: A Leadership Case Study for Years to Come"
Thanks for recommending this movie. I will see it as soon as possible.
I enjoy looking at how leaders of the past handled themselves. Many of the types of challenges we face each day have been masterfully handled by high profile people. Much has been written about them, and we should be reading it – or, in this case, watching it.
Best wishes.
Great post. I haven't seen the movie yet but this makes me committed to seeing it.
Hi Scott–
I really enjoyed your analysis of Mandela's "audacious" leadership. In the December GQ, Eastwood described Invictus as story of Mandela's "unconquerable soul" and remarked, "you should never give up your inner self." Clearly, the integration of one's inner self and external vision is what makes the whole so powerful.
Incidentally, Eastwood himself is a great story of a later-blooming leader, with a rich depth of character to match. The interview is full of gems.
(By the way, I only read GQ for the articles. Ahem.)
I will take in the movie now with a different persepective. Thanks – but I did like Avatar – both for the graphics but also for the message of how we look at our world and how we are consumers of just about everything – regardless of the cost – life over money.
Scott, late in the conversation on this one. I too was taken aback by this remarkable story, and this remarkable man. I think one of the great attributes relates to the importance of leaders of having a clear vision of what they want to achieve and then inspire in others to join in. It is by the best movie of becoming a servent leader ever produced.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments everyone. Garry, I'm willing to admit I could be wrong on Avatar – $1 billion in worldwide sales would suggest I am! Rod, love your point about servant leadership. I had not made that connection myself. You are spot on. Kerry, who are some of your favorite positive high profile leadership role models? David, appreciate all of the Tweet comments you've left lately. Thanks for reading! Lisa, great point about the integration of the internal and external selves. And, yes, I'm sure you only read GQ for the articles! Cheers one and all.
Wonderful post, Scott. In addition to the specifics you share on leadership, it's more testimony to the power of stories to hold and convey lots of information.
These are great lessons for leaders at all levels. I've just started reading your blog – you have some fantastic stuff here!

About 2 hours later we arrived at our friends apartment in North Conway, NH. We were welcomed with open arms! We walked into a home cooked dinner consisting of fresh steamed cauliflower, baked potatoes and a creamy bechamel sauce. Yummy. We played some cards, listened to some music, and rested for skiing in the morning.
The next morning we headed to King Pine. King Pine is a small mountain located in East Madison, NH. Although small, King Pine has some awesome trails, great snow, and short lines! We skied here for about a total of 5 hours on Saturday and had a lot of fun. They also had an AWESOME tubing park which I regret not trying. Saturday night came and we were exhausted. We ended up making some pasta with an assortment of sauces for dinner. Yum. We put in a movie, talked a bit and got some rest for our big day skiing Sunday.
Finally Sunday morning came. Of course it wouldn't be right if we didn't have a nice home cooked meal right? So we made some delicious egg and cheese sandwiches to start our day of strong. After breakfast we headed out to Bretton Woods. Bretton Woods is located in Carroll, NH and is NH's largest mountain that offers skiing and riding. BW is my favorite mountain (I've yet to go out west) of all time. I'm a huge fan of glades and BW has tons of awesome glades of all different kinds. After a phenomenal day of skiing at Bretton Woods we hit the road back to North Conway to our friends apartment to have some dinner before we made the trek home. And of course, we made delicious black bean veggie burgers with some cajun potato wedges. Can you tell I love to eat and cook? haha.
Bretton Woods and the Mount Washington Hotel. BEAUTIFUL!

GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP/KTHV) - A popular traveling destination for Arkansans had some deadly swimming conditions this week.
Gulf Shores, Alabama closed all of its beaches on Monday after four men drowned in dangerous rip currents in the Gulf of Mexico since Sunday.
City officials on Monday posted double red flags on all beaches in the city, meaning that extremely hazardous conditions are present and all waters are closed to the public.
The city said in a statement that water conditions might not appear life-threatening, but underlying rip currents posed a significant risk to anyone entering the Gulf.
Beaches in Gulf Shores were re-opened Tuesday under yellow-flag conditions, meaning that moderate surf and/or currents were present, and swimmers should use caution, according to a telephone hotline for information on beach conditions.
The men who drowned were from Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana. The man from Arkansas was William H. Moore, and he lived in Jonesboro. A local minister remembered Moore as a quiet, humble and compassionate man. Moore drowned Monday as he was trying to save another swimmer in rough water.
THV 11 News has also learned that a Cabot teen is in the hospital in Mobile, Ala. following a water rescue last week. The teen is Joshua Goolsby, a senior at Cabot High School.
THV 11 spoke with his stepdad, Tony Howard, on Tuesday. He said on their first morning of vacation to Gulf Shores, Goolsby and his brothers ran into the Gulf and within minutes encountered rough waters. Howard said he and one of Goolsby's brothers tried to rescue the teen but could not get to him. Ultimately, Howard said some good Samaritans rescued him. Howard said that his son is in critical condition in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit.
"He's doing better every day, and he still has a long way to go, and I'm very confident he will be Joshua again," Howard said.
Goolsby works at the Popeye's in Cabot. Right now, there's a sign out front offering prayers for his recovery.

General Notes
Hello Everyone-
I'm currently traveling in my native California, where I'm enjoying Taco Bell, Cocoa Pebbles and people bagging my groceries for me -- things I dearly miss while living in my wife's native country of Britain. Being on the road also means I'm without the proofreading support that my wife usually provides. So, I beg your forgiveness for any typos in this month's newsletter.
Search Engine News
Search Utilities Go Beyond Metasearch
Many people love metasearch services, because they make it easy to send a query to several search engines at once. If you're a metasearch fan, now is a good time to consider going a step beyond by using a search utility.
Search utilities have the ability to send queries to multiple search engines. In addition, they offer the ability to sort results in various ways, such as by URL, page title or search engine. Another common feature is the ability to automatically download the actual pages that appear in the search results. These pages can then be further analyzed or viewed individually, offline.
The timing is right for those wishing to experiment with search utilities. A new program called BullsEye is now available, while updated versions of other utilities have recently been released.
I took a brief look at each of these utilities, to gather some initial impressions. However, I did not exhaustively test them, so don't consider this a review of what's best. Each of the utilities is available for trial before purchase, so I recommend experimenting with them to see which is the best fit for your personal tastes and needs. All are available for Windows 95/98/NT.
BullsEye is a powerful utility that will likely appeal to professional and advanced users, though I suspect novices may find it a bit too intimidating. It offers a wide range of searches, such as news, business, software and, of course, web searching.
Nice touches include the ability to spell check a query or display related words and homonyms. I also liked the way it will highlight the search terms on pages, if they have been downloaded for viewing. It also will attempt to group downloaded pages in similar categories.
BullsEye is an 8 MB download, and the basic version sells for US $49. Also, the program is unrelated to the notorious BullsEye bulk email program of the same name.
In contrast to BullsEye, novices should feel more comfortable with Copernic 98. I found the interface to be elegant and easy to use. Power options are available, but they remain hidden unless you invoke them, which makes getting started easy.
I was also pleased with the breadth of specialty searches offered. Music, Movies, Jobs and Sports are just some of the categories offered, and the sources in each category appear to be of good quality.
The free version of Copernic 98 offers web, newsgroup and email searching. The $29.95 "Plus" version includes specialty search options. Both are 2 MB downloads.
Mata Hari is supposedly designed so that you can learn one set of power search commands, which the program will then translate for each search service, as appropriate. I didn't test this, and I suspect it is something other search utilities will also do, especially BullsEye. But if you perform complex queries often on multiple services, then this may be another program worth investigating. It is definitely not a package for novice users.
Mata Hari is a 1.6 MB download and sells for $34.95.
Looking for fast and simple? Then WebFerret is a good choice. It does only web searching, via an extremely simple interface. Unlike the other packages, there is no page download option.
WebFerret is free and a quick, 760K download. The same company also offers WebFerretPro, which has additional features, for $26.95. Unfortunately, no trial version of WebFerretPro is currently available for download.

Those using the RealNames links on AltaVista are more likely to be taken directly to an appropriate web site, now that the RealNames system has greatly expanded its listings.
RealNames is an alternative web site address system, and links to its listings appear at the top of AltaVista search results, for any search of four words or longer.
Selecting a RealNames link will take people directly to a site, if the search phrase matches a registered RealName. If a name is not registered, then users are presented with results from the RealNames search engine, which shows the best matching choices from paid listings, editor selections and picks found by a web crawler.
Ideally, RealNames would like people to always be taken directly to a web site when they click on a link. Thus, editors have worked over the past few months to create RealNames for thousands of products, stock ticker symbols, American sports teams and radio stations.
For example, "kleenex" leads to the Kleenex tissue web site. "YHOO" brings up the stock quote for Yahoo. "Lakers" leads to the Los Angeles basketball team's web site, while "KIIS" brings up the LA radio station with those call letters. All of these are editorially added entries.
"We studied queries, and based on that study, have added segments to serve the patterns of usage we have seen," said Ted West, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
In all, there are now about 1 million RealNames resolving to web sites, and the number climbs to 3 million when domain names are included.
Domain name resolution is another new feature of the service. Entering a domain name such as "www.yahoo.com" takes people to the site, just as if they had entered the domain name properly into the browser address box.
This is an extremely helpful change, because many novice web users mistakenly enter domain names into search boxes, when trying to reach web sites.
It would be even better if AltaVista itself, along with the other major search engines, also made this change. Only WebCrawler is currently smart enough to ask a person entering a domain name if they want to visit the site, assuming the URL is preceded with an http://.
RealNames makes its money from those who pay for names, so it seems odd from a business standpoint to have editors undermine the system by creating so many "free" names. Only about 5,000 names in the listings have been purchased.
However, CEO Keith Teare sees the enhancements as strengthening the system for users. If they make it more usable, and thus popular, he believes companies will see value in registering their own names for $100 per year.
"We've got to hope that if the changes produce a greater user experience, then that becomes a magnet," Teare said.
RealNames also plans to push paid registrations more heavily, now that listings have been enhanced. A number of RealNames resellers will be announced shortly.
RealNames says the usage of its system via AltaVista has also increased dramatically over the past two months. RealNames links are selected about one million times per day at AltaVista, giving the system just over a three percent clickthrough rate. That's up from 300,000 per day, when the RealNames launched on AltaVista in May.
Key to this improvement has been altering the text associated with the RealNames links. Previously, the text used to read "Subscribe your company, brands and trademarks to the Real Name System." Now it has been changed to say "Click above for the RealName, the easy web address for company and product names."
"We virtually removed the RealNames branding on July 30th," said West. "That increased the traffic immediately."
RealNames also expects even more people to begin using the system in the near future, as it continues to seek new partnerships.
"Quite soon, we'll be announcing another distribution partnership which will increase our traffic by 30 to 50 percent again," said Teare.
LookSmart announced that it has doubled its editorial staff, as part of an effort to increase its site listings five-fold over the next year.
The service currently lists about 500,000 sites in more than 23,000 categories. In contrast, Yahoo lists about 1 million sites.
LookSmart now has about 70 editors, compared to Yahoo's 80 or more editors.
"We believe this team will be able to out-produce rival editorial teams in terms of both quantity of sites described and, more importantly, in the quality, selection, organization and description of those sites," said LookSmart CEO Evan Thronley.
Search Term Analysis More Affordable
The best way to measure your success with search engines is to examine your web site logs to find the actual search phrases used to reach your web site. This has gotten easier thanks to Marketwave dropping the price of its Hit List Pro log analysis software from US $995 to $295.
Hit List has long been one of my favorite tools, because it can be easily configured to display search phrases for a variety of search engines. By default, it ships with reports for AltaVista, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos and Yahoo. However, I've enhanced my copy to display terms from HotBot, WebCrawler, GoTo, LookSmart, Snap and many other services and metacrawlers.
Many WebTrends users mistakenly believe they also are getting search phrase information for several major search engines, but this is not the case. Instead, WebTrends breaks down search phrases into individual keywords.
For example, if someone entered "income tax forms" into Yahoo and found your site, WebTrends would report that you were found for "income" and "tax" and "forms," not "income tax forms."
That may not seem so confusing with just one example, but imagine what happens when hundreds of phrases are broken down into individual keywords. It becomes impossible to distinguish the exact phrases that brought a site traffic.
If you use WebTrends, don't despair. The company says the next release, due within two months, will correct this problem. The product currently sells for $299, though it is often available for a discount through web hosting providers.
Another option for those interested in search phrases is FlashStats. The program is primarily designed as a real-time, server-side analysis tool, but it can be run locally on a personal web server for offline analysis. It comes preconfigured with search phrase reporting for 16 search engines, more than any other log analysis program that I'm aware of. The price is $99.

The Disappearance of Leah Roberts
Last Edit: February 26th, 2011
I originally wrote this blog posting back in December 2010. This is a case that I have been interested in since it originally happened. At the time, I was 12 years old and in the 6th grade. Since I lived in Washington, it was on the local news frequently. Even at the time, it was clear that it was a very baffling missing persons case. 11 years later, the disappearance of Leah Roberts still remains unsolved. When I wrote this blog posting last December, my main sources of information were news articles, and a story on Leah's disappearance on Unsolved Mysteries. However, last week, a new documentary aired on the disappearance of Leah Roberts. It contained a lot of new information, and so, I have decided to rewrite this post.
Leah Roberts was a 23-year-old woman from North Carolina who disappeared in March of 2000 in northern Washington State. Before Leah went missing, she was having a hard time with life. Both of her parents died, and she decided to drop out of college. Leah spent her days writing poetry, journal entries, and thinking about life.
On March 9th, 2000, without telling anyone, Leah Roberts decided to take off from North Carolina and drive across country to Washington State. This clearly wasn't just a small trip. It can take up to a week to drive from one coast to the other. Leah told no one of her plans in advance, but Leah did leave a note to her loved ones explaining about her trip and insisted she was not suicidal. This was the last time Leah's family saw her alive.
Nearly 10 days later, Leah's jeep was discovered wrecked off Mount Baker highway in the cascade mountains in northern Washington State. Fuel receipts, a movie ticket stub, some of her belongings, and $2,500 of Leah's money was found in a pants pocket in the jeep. In addition, clothes were hanging over the car, as if someone tried to build a shelter and protect themselves from the weather. Clothes were also on the side of the road, as if someone put them there to signal for help. Leah, however, was nowhere to be found.
Through gas receipts and surveillance tapes, police were able to establish that Leah did make it to Washington State and that she appeared to be alone. She also went and saw a movie on March 13th, 2000 and went to a nearby restaurant to eat. It is at this restaurant, that Leah talked to two men about her trip. Both men insisted though that they had nothing to do with Leah's disappearance.
So, where was Leah? A few days after Leah's jeep was found, a witness called police and said he believed he and his wife had seen Leah inside a gas station about 30 miles from the crash. He stated that she seemed confused and did not who she was. Before police could obtain additional details though, the man hung up.
Up until the episode of "Disappeared" that appeared on Investigation Discovery, this was about all that was known of Leah Roberts disappearance. The case was profiled on "Unsolved Mysteries" and "Larry King Live", but this was several years ago. The leading theory appeared to be that Leah Roberts crashed her jeep, and suffered some sort of amnesia and may still be alive. Although foul play was never ruled out by police, I always personally leaned towards the theory that Leah Roberts had some sort of amnesia, or may have gotten lost in the woods. If there was foul play, I figured it may have been someone that came in contact with Leah AFTER the crash. With Leah's case being profiled on "Disappeared" though, a lot of new details about the case came to light. Some of the biggest new information that was made available in this case was this:
- Leah's jeep appeared to have been tampered with. This would have made it so that Leah's jeep would accelerate (and crash) by itself.
- The second person Leah spoke with at the restaurant insists that she left with another man, and a sketch was created.
- Fingerprints and DNA were recovered from Leah's Jeep.
This is clearly some major information that was revealed in "Disappeared". A lot of the new information seems to support the theory that foul play was involved. This new information though seems to contradict some of the other bits of information. For instance, if someone tampered with Leah's jeep and crashed her jeep, why would they do that? Why was some of the stuff in Leah's jeep set outside of the jeep? Why were there clothes over the windows of the jeep? If someone was responsible for her disappearance, wrecking her jeep in the way it was done would just bring more attention to her disappearance.
Some more questions:
- What about the sighting at the gas station? This was not mentioned at all in the "Disappeared" documentary.
- How confident are detectives with the fingerprints and DNA that was recovered? For instance, could the fingerprints under the hood be from a mechanic with no connection to Leah's disappearance?
- Why were some of Leah's personal belongings (such as her hat, and her kitten) never found with the jeep?
Throughout these last 11 years, all sorts of theories have been thought of. Here are some of the theories people discuss:
- Leah wrecked her jeep, hitchhiked to get help, and was kidnapped by someone.
- Leah wrecked her jeep, hit her head, and is alive with some sort of amensia.
- Leah was kidnapped sometime before her car crashed, and the kidnapper crashed her car.
- Leah staged the crash and decided to start a new life.
With each of these theories, you can pretty much argue for or against the theory. It really is truly a baffling case. Evidence points in all different directions.
So what exactly happened? Is Leah still alive? Does she have amnesia? Was she murdered? Who was driving her jeep? Did someone really intentionally crash the jeep? Why did someone appear to seek shelter inside the jeep? There are so many questions, and so little answers. However, detectives refuse to give up on this case. With possible fingerprints and DNA being found, it's possible that one day, we might finally know what happened to Leah Roberts.

Coachella Festival 2003: Sunday
Photographer: Craig Arthur02 June 2003
A big hand-painted sign greeted Sunday's concertgoers with, "Libertines re-scheduled 5:40 Mojave tent." What a welcome surprise for those who thought they had missed their opportunity the night before when the band was "unplugged" two songs into their set due to the midnight curfew. Apparently sound problems plagued this tent earlier in the day forcing people to play later than scheduled. Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, at least was able to leave in style, wind-mill slamming his mic stand to the stage.
First up on this day though was the four sibling (and one friend) outfit called Eisley. These guys haven't released a cd yet, (EP due out May 20), and they have already had their picture in Rolling Stone and will be touring the US with Coldplay... not bad for a band who's oldest member is 20! Sounding very reminiscent of Belly, Eisley made the most of their "high noon" set time even though this wasn't a good match for their style of music.
The Soundtrack Of Our Lives unfortunately prefer a certain type of dress onstage... & playing from 1:40pm-2:20p!m, (the hottest part of the day), didn't lend itself well to suitcoats. Watching their pale Scandanavian skin slowly turn pink was a reminder to break out the sunscreen or try to take in some of the tent life.
Swampy tents
were a respot from the sun, but not the heat. So after catching Ima Robot and the Von Bondies in
the Mojave tent it was back to the main stage for Sonic Youth where
a Coachella record was set for most guitar changes in under 30 minutes. Many stayed just long enough to watch Thurston
Moore grind a guitar against an amp or two, and then made their way to the Mojave to catch the Libertines.
Probably the "buzz" band of the entire festival, the Libertines made the most of their second chance performance playing to an overflow crowd in the Mojave. Having to shed clothes along the way, due to the heat, they easily had the best performance of the day... up to this point. Kudos to the show schedulers for letting Jack Johnson end the daylight hours adding a little calm before the storm.

Getting Blake Griffin: A trade? It could happen
If hoping, wishing, praying and keeping your fingers crossed isn't enough to bring Oklahoma City the No. 1 overall pick Tuesday night during the NBA Draft Lottery, there is one last possibility that could put Blake Griffin in a Thunder uniform.
A trade. It's the unlikeliest of possibilities. Only twice in NBA history has a team with the first pick traded the selection. But, hey, it could happen, especially since there seems to be a few teams in lottery land in position to part with Griffin should they land the top spot. But any hope of the Thunder brokering a trade is contingent on Oklahoma City jumping to the second overall pick and selecting Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio, the consensus No. 2 prospect if he stays in the draft. Here are the best destinations for the No. 1 pick if it doesn't fall to the Thunder.
Sacramento Kings→Where they're slotted to pick: First, with a 25 percent chance at No. 1. →Why they could trade Blake: They spent the past two lottery picks on big men Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson. They have an overpaid, underachieving point guard in Beno Udrih and have owners who are in the entertainment business. In Sacramento, Rubio's flashy playmaking — think former King Jason Williams — could be a bigger draw than Griffin's electrifying dunks. And a playmaker like Rubio could get the most out of the current talent the Kings already have. →Odds: 4.5 percent.
Los Angeles Clippers→Where they're slotted to pick: Third, with a 17.7 percent chance at No.

Lucy began her musical career singing in Chicago bars before moving to New York to mingle with the likes of Suzanne Vega, Steve Forbert and Shawn Colvin. Recognized for her beautiful flair for harmony, she became everyone's favorite singing partner until she left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology. Continuing to sing, she was lured back to the scene by a hook-up with Colvin, after which she signed with Red House Records, started playing gigs, and never looked back. http://www.lucykaplansky.com

Hey, I'm Ben: Environmental journalist, children's book author, sea slug aficionado. At present I'm a correspondent at High Country News, for which I write about wildlife, conservation, and land use. My two great loves are marine biology and innovative approaches to carnivore conservation, but I'll cover darn near anything.
In addition to HCN, my writing has appeared in Scientific American, The Guardian, OnEarth, Pacific Standard, Grantland, Earth Island Journal, Conservation Magazine, Ensia, Modern Farmer, VICE News, Medium, The Independent, Green Futures, Yale Environment 360, Huffington Post, The Last Word on Nothing, and elsewhere. I'm also the former Editor-in-Chief of Sage Magazine, award-winning environmental publication at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
My fiction has appeared in the Bellevue Literary Review, Motherboard, the Allegheny Review, The Stringybark Stories, and elsewhere.
