Reviewing the Debate on TV: Paging Jim Lehrer... (USA Today)
Apparently, Jim Lehrer thinks the best moderator is no moderator at all. Politico Lehrer, the executive editor of PBS Newshour, sat behind the desk for the 12th time in the history of televised presidential debates on Wednesday night -- and drew some of the most blistering reviews of his career. The consensus: Lehrer did not control the debate, failed to enforce the time limits, did not press the candidates enough and generally was steamrolled by the presidential candidates, Mitt Romney in particular. The Washington Post / Erik Wemple Lehrer's real problem was that, for one night, he had to play stand-in for the entire American media. And if there's one thing the American public enjoys, it's bashing the American media, no matter how it performs. San Jose Mercury News / Elections 2012 Let the fact-checkers do their thing. Let the pundits judge who won. For the television audience -- and, after all, we are the real target for the debate, particularly the undecideds on the couch -- there are more visceral cues we'll seek before anointing a winner. NYT Theater seats? Check. Shrimp cocktails and crudités? Check. Flat-screen television with the volume low just waiting for the big show to start? Check. People who have been un-friended on Facebook by relatives because of their political views? Oh, yes. Seattle Post-Intelligencer / AP "Tonight is a game, it's not the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is in November... I'd say Romney got a pretty solid lead in this game," said Republican Art Rotelli, a 35-year-old advertising product designer. Even some Romney opponents begrudgingly gave the debate "win" to the Republican. TVNewser Following the debate, however, things got interesting on MSNBC. The hosts pretty much agreed with the consensus that a fired up Mitt Romney triumphed over a laid back President Obama. NYT Presidential debates are customarily scored and picked apart the instant the moderator says "good night" at 10:30 p.m. But the Web is speeding up time. When the first of this season's debates started on Wednesday in Denver, the scoring began at 9:01 p.m., as soon as Lehrer said "good evening." HuffPost / AP Social networks lit up Wednesday as users argued over who emerged as the key character from Wednesday's first president debate. The candidates? Forget it -- most attention focused on Lehrer, or the cherished children's TV character Big Bird. ABC News / OTUS According to Twitter data, the words "Big Bird" were tweeted 17,000 times per minute and "PBS," the channel that airs Sesame Street, peaked at 10,000 tweets per minute. "Big Bird" was also the fourth highest-rising search term on Google. Romney's comment sparked the hashtag #SaveBigBird, which was trending worldwide, and spawned at least three pro-Big Bird Twitter handles, @BigBird, @BigBirdRomney and @FiredBigBird. Ad Age / Campaign Trail TV ads in this year's U.S. presidential race are more negative in tone than in any of the previous three White House campaigns, according to a report Wednesday by the Wesleyan Media Project. Almost two-thirds of presidential ads on the air between June 1 and Sept. 30 were negative, compared to about 40 percent during that period in 2008. PRNewser What's the real PR value of a debate? We can't imagine that too many voters would honestly describe themselves as "undecided" at this point, but an estimated 50 million people will watch the events live -- and an audience that big has to be worth something, right?
Fast, But Not Magical Sales for Rowling Book (Yahoo! News / AP)
Sales for J.K. Rowling's first adult novel were hardly magical during its first six days. But the publisher isn't complaining. Entertainment Weekly / Shelf Life Rowling's The Casual Vacancy is reportedly "on track to become the year's bestselling novel in hardcover," according to EVP of Little, Brown Michael Pietsch. Which is another way of saying it'll be one of the best-selling novels of the year other than E L James' paperback Fifty Shades trilogy. THR / Heat Vision Little, Brown and Company announced that the book sold 375,000 copies across all formats, print and digital, in its first six days on the market.
MediaPost: NBC News Plans to Launch Ads 'That Blur the Line Between Editorial and Brand Content' Update: Or Not? (TVNewser)
MediaPost reports that NBC News (specifically NBC News Digital) is planning a shift away from advertising targeting demographics (i.e. adults 25-54, women 18-49, etc.) and towards "personas" of news consumers, with names like "Always On," "Skimmers," "Veterans" and "Reporters." MediaPost / Online Media Daily "Essentially, we've discovered there are four archetypes of news consumers," Kyoo Kim, vice president of sales at NBC News Digital, explained in an exclusive interview with Online Media Daily unveiling the new persona-based targeting concept. "Why does this matter to advertisers?" he continued. "Because focusing on behavior vs. demographics gives our customers better insights into the tendencies of our viewers."
Facebook Launches Test of Promoted Posts for U.S. Users with Fewer Than 5K Friends/Subscribers (AllFacebook)
What can $7 buy these days? If you're a Facebook user in the US with fewer than 5,000 friends and subscribers, $7 can buy you a Promoted Post, as the social network officially announced the launch of a test of the feature. CNN Money That price tag is part of the experiment: A company spokeswoman said that Facebook is "considering a variety of prices." TechCrunch Promoted Posts could help surface important announcements and earn Facebook money. However, I worry that Promoted Posts could change the atmosphere of Facebook from one where the most beloved content gets seen most to one where the rich can dominate the News Feed. WSJ / Digits Why would you do that? Because as Facebook has grown, the homepage News Feed of users has become increasingly cluttered with status updates from friends and paid ads from marketers. Posts from some friends can get lost in the weeds, or never even show up. So if you've got a big announcement -- say, you've lost your cat -- you can pay to make sure more friends see it.
27-Year Veteran Jeff Morrow Out at Weather Channel (TVNewser)
Meteorologist Jeff Morrow, who has been a staple at The Weather Channel for 27 years, is leaving the network, according to an email sent to staff Wednesday. Morrow has been a regular not only in-studio, but in the field at the channel, including a number of visits to the middle of hurricanes, such as Katrina. New York Daily News "We appreciate the many years of forecasting and live field coverage Jeff has delivered as part of the best weather provider in the country," vice president of live programming Helen Swenson wrote. "I hope you join us in thanking Jeff for his many contributions and wish him the best in his future."
Apple's Asian Suppliers 'Have Begun Mass Production of the iPad Mini,' Stoking Rumors the Tech Giant Will Announce New Tablet Soon (The Daily Mail)
Apple's Asian suppliers have reportedly started mass production of a new tablet computer smaller than the iPad, raising expectations that the tech giant is set to unveil its iPad mini within weeks. WSJ The smaller tablet will have a 7.85-inch liquid-crystal display with a lower resolution than the latest iPad, which was released in March, two executives said. The screen on the current iPad measures 9.7 inches diagonally, a size that hasn't changed since the first model was released in 2010. CNET The smaller tablet will allow Apple to compete with the budget Android-powered models from Amazon and Google.
Jerry Seinfeld's Letter is No. 1 -- Really! (JimRomenesko.com)
A letter to The New York Times has never before hit No. 1 on the paper's Most Viewed list, letters editor Thomas Feyer tells Romenesko readers. "I was amazed at how this went viral with all the tweets and Facebook posts," he said over the phone. "I've never seen anything like this." Today In a piece that ran in Monday's Times, Neil Genzlinger opined about his dislike for the use of the word "really" as a comedic tool. "I'm not talking about 'Really?' as a request for more information or an expression of surprise," he wrote. "I'm referring to the more recent, faddish use of it: delivered with a high-pitched sneer to indicate a contempt so complete that it requires no clarification."
Internet Use Disorder Coined by American Psychiatric Association (MediaJobsDaily)
OK, so now that we know the Internet is critical to our job, um, we must face the facts: We may be addicted to it.

Estée Lauder Turns the Internet Pink (FishbowlNY)
Just as the iPhone 5 frenzy was subsiding, the outside of the Apple Store at 59th and Fifth was abuzz again for the kick off of the 20th anniversary of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

CBS News A newly launched social network aims to connect an estimated 227,000 women who will develop breast cancer in the United States in 2012 with other women who have or survived the disease.

What BuzzFeed's Evolution Says About the Future of Longform Journalism (Poynter)
It's not often that a job posting creates such a tizzy. But BuzzFeed's search for a longform editor signifies more than just a new hire. The announcement, which spawned headlines such as "BuzzFeed (yes, BuzzFeed) begins search for 'longform editor,'" aggravated ongoing tensions between the intersecting worlds of print and online journalism. The question became not whom would BuzzFeed hire, but how the site previously known for memes and cat photos could delve deeper into investigative, in-depth reporting.

aoTuV post-beta5.7 [20100516] (for tester)
Release Notes translated by Excite Japan.
The test version is opened to the public because it has stabilized very much. It doesn't test with 5.1 ch, and check that there is a heard environment by all means, please. A rough change point from the test version before is as follows.
・Libvorbis 1.3.1 and latest aoTuV are integrated.
・Enhanced new Noise Normalization.
・The dynamic stereo threshold change code renewal. (Became simpler. )
・The sorting application is changed to the method of agreement to new libvorbis 1.3.1. (1.3.1 The speed in total has neither last test version nor a big difference though it sped up based on. The algorithm is different. )
・The code to improve a specific problem is partially improved.
Additionally, the venc front end was made multichannel input correspondence. The wav file to 8ch is accepted. Only 5.1ch of a multichannel coupling is effective as well as libvorbis 1.3.1. This is a limitation of the library side.
Sorry for my English.

Washington and Lee Cuts Class for its 3L's
The Dean at Washington and Lee, supported by a unanimous faculty, answer that question thusly: "For some time, members of the legal profession, practitioners, judges and scholars alike, have urged law schools to place greater emphasis on professionalism and learning in context."
His solution? Replace the entire third year curriculum with "experiential" learning, including actual interactions with clients. It's being implemented as we speak.
Here are his words, a National Law Journal article, and a WSJ Law Blog post.
3L status remains far, far over the horizon for this chap. But, which should I value more: the opportunity finally play lawyer, or the opportunity to finally take Wine Law?

Mandatory influenza (flu) vaccination, as a condition of employment, does not lead to excessive voluntary termination, according to a four-year analysis of vaccination rates at Loyola University Health System in Chicago.
"First do no harm is our mandate as health care workers," said Jorge Parada, MD, MPH, FACP, FIDSA, study author and professor of medicine at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. "We have a fiduciary responsibility to perform hand hygiene and adhere to contact precautions, and flu vaccines should be considered in the same vein meaning we should do all we can to not pass along illness to our patients." Loyola has sustained a 99 percent compliance average since adopting the mandatory flu vaccination protocol four years ago.
Flu infections result in approximately 150,000 hospital admissions and 24,000 deaths annually. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all healthcare personnel receive the annual flu vaccine, yet the national average for vaccination of health care professionals is only 64 percent.
"Just as construction workers must wear steel-toed boots and hard hats on job sites as a condition of employment, we believe that healthcare workers should get a flu shot to work in a hospital," said Parada, who leads the vaccination program at Loyola.
Infection prevention specialists worked with a multidisciplinary task force at Loyola to develop a facility-wide policy that made flu vaccination a condition of employment. Parada presented his study of the four-year program on June 9, 2013 at the annual conference of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.
As one of the first medical centers in the country to implement mandatory flu vaccination, Loyola began with the full backing of the hospital's senior leadership. "Starting in 2008, staff were no longer simply not allowed to not bother to get influenza vaccination, inst

The schedule just seems to send the wrong message to those who pay their salaries and benefits, making it seem like the city is more about providing jobs for individuals than services for the citizens. As one of my friends says, "If we can do without them on Fridays, why do they need to show up on Monday?"
If you look back realistically the Marty Bloom years were a total disaster. Almost like what Bush did on a national level. Overturn all the policies during those 8 years.
I don't see what the complaint about the 9/80 system is — during every two week period, the employees work 80 hours but we save on the cost of utilities for closing one day, plus the savings on commuting gas. Why is that so objectionable to some people? Many other governmental agencies and companies have similar programs. The County of Orange has been doing this since the '90's, when they were trying to deal with their bankruptcy, and this was one of the cost savings measures they implemented.
Duh, Lanny is just jealous that other people have to work for a living.
Why can't the employees work 9/80's and keep the City open on Friday's? All you have to do is stagger the weeks – If they take alternate Fridays off it works just fine.Yeah, we don't save on utilities – but the public can have better service, not have to worry about is this the Friday that the offices are open or not.
The energy savings argument is totally bogus. It's just like Congress moving daylight savings time to "save energy". Of course we're now out of sync with the rest of the world despite later studies showing no appreciable energy savings. More "good intentions" gone awry, but the unintended consequence here is the fact that we only notice their absence in the light Friday freeway traffic. The first comment is right…if we don't miss them Friday, why not just close the doors permanently on these useless departments.
The City Council has no power to change the employee schedules. Please check your facts!
Trade off in service is that the offices are open longer to the public and at lunch. If you have a job, like I do, I like the fact that I can go after work or at lunch to get permits. The utility savings is minor, I have heard through a friend that there is still many City workers who work during the "closed" day, in and out of their offices. ( but i guess a couple extra lights off help))
I don't think the energy savings are bogus — if the heat/ac is turned off for 1 extra day out of 10, that'd be an approximate 10% savings. Also, the lighter Friday traffic isn't an "unintended consequence" — I think that was a factor the original decision to close every other Friday.
Here's an interesting article on Daylight Savings Time. Is cites several studies showing that the gains made in the morning due to daylight savings time are usually offset by more energy use in the evenings…often exceeding the savings.
My point about the traffic being an "unintended consequence" was that we only notice this symptom…the fact that the offices are closed effects almost no one, so why do they exist at all?

How open-minded are you when it comes to jokes? How far does your sense of humour go? Do you believe there are things people shouldn't joke about? Are there any topics you think should be avoided when it comes to jokes? What are those topics (if any) for you?
Views: 254
That's exactly what I was saying. I don't like to point and laugh at other people, it doesn't matter if they're sick, disabled, or different in any way, but I do like jokes. I guess the context in which the joke is made is really important, perhaps for others, because I would laugh if a joke is funny, like in a situation similar to the one Maggie described below. :) I guess I would try not to laugh, but I don't think I would be able not to if the joke would be really funny.
It bothers me that some people actually take jokes seriously. Ricky Gervais was talking about him driving a little drunk once and that he almost ran over an old lady... in the end he said that he didn't ran over the old lady, he just raped her and he was lucky that she had Alzheimer so she wasn't a credible witness. I laughed with tears the first time I heard that and I still laugh at it. People, it's not true, most jokes are not true, are just intended to make people feel better and RIcky's jokes succeed every time, they make me feel better. Sure, the fact that Ricky is a great guy outside his gigs and the fact that a lot of the money from those gigs are donated to charity really helps. That's what matters. Jokes can come from a good or from a bad place. That's it. Hitler making jew jokes... not really funny because I would like to bash his fucking head against a concrete wall first, then laugh.
Jokes do not show other people how you view the world. Does that Alzheimer joke tells other people that Ricky likes to fuck old ladies with Alzheimer's disease? No. Jokes show other people whether or not you have a great sense of humour. If you take a joke seriously, then yes, it shows you how the person that told the joke views the world, but that would not be true.
he just raped her and he was lucky that she had Alzheimer
I like Ricky a lot, but not this joke. I get the humor, but I guess I don't like it because I think it's actually possible that a human could do that in real life.
For me, nothing is sacred... I will joke about anything. Why take anything in life seriously? No one gets out alive. Here's an example, and yes, I honestly did say this, verbatim:
A while back, I had a few friends living with me. This is strictly prohibited in my apartment complex. In a one-bedroom such as mine, I'm allowed only one other inhabitant, and they MUST be of the opposite sex, because I live in the bible belt and my landlady is a retarded christian (I'm sorry, I'll keep it PC, a fundamentalist). Anyway, it was two dudes and a chick. One night, it was just me and Johnny (the others had gone to visit relatives), and we were just kicking back watching a movie. Well, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that he had committed suicide while I slept. The landlady came to see what was going on, and proceeded to tell me that having unauthorized guests was against my rental agreement. It just so happens that as she was saying this, they were wheeling Johnny's body out right in between us. I looked down and said "Well, I'm getting rid of'em one by one..." Everyone in the room froze, then one of my friends started laughing hysterically and my other (female) friend/guest threw up all over my freakin carpet...
Afterwards, when we were left to clean up the mess everyone had made, I started messing with my friend about how it smelled like something had died in here...
Before you guys write me off as a completely sociopathic asshole, realize that I consider suicide to be the most pathetic, weak, pussy shit a person can do. If you can't handle life, sure, gtfo. But do it in a way that's helpful, or saves the life of someone who WANTS to live. Don't do it in a way where the only legacy you leave behind is debt, despair, and a fucking mess for the rest of us to clean up...
That's funny as hell (hmmm, I guess hell, and how you're actually supposed to end up there, is kind of funny if you think about it). But what you said is really hilarious.
I don't have a problem with suicide, but I would have a big problem with cleaning up after it as well.
I tell people I have a grey/warped since of humor. Especially when I comes to death. When I tell them that my first wife died they tell me how sad and I'm sorry to hear that. In response I say "she must of took that til death do you apart thing seriously"
If I have been there and done that then I have plenty of room to laugh myself as well.
I'll admit I will laugh if it strikes me funny.
But humor out of ignorance is not funny to me.
Wow, mixed feelings here. That was a cold, cold thing to say. But I laughed!
Meanwhile, you knew Johnny better than I, but I wouldn't generalize so much. Some depressed people really have something chemically wrong, or are otherwise undeserving of the pain through no fault of their own. And many of them are treatable, if the right people care about them.
Anyone know what is more fun than stapling babies to the wall? Nailing them to the wall. Why?
Cause they bleed more.
(+1) if you laughed =)
I laughed...
People don't get that a joke is just something to make you and/or others feel better, and that you don't actually nail babies to walls or do anything apparently cruel that you say as a joke. I really hate that.

Motorcycles of the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours
Now that the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours winners have been announced and featured in numerous automotive and motorcycle publications, we asked editor Matt Litwin for some photos of the bikes that didn't win. Most of these are just as pretty as the class winners and, like all of the winners, have to be able to start up and drive to the podium to receive their awards.
One of the interesting stories of the day involved the third place winner in the X-1 class, the 1936 Crocker. Apparently when Dale Walksler was lining up to receive his award for third place in the X-2 class for the Harley DAR board track racer, the bike would not start. Brian Bossier, the owner of the Crocker backed up to Dale's bike to give him a tire-to-tire bump start, so they could both ride to the stand and receive their awards. Who says bike owners are mean old cusses?
Legend of the Motorcycle Concours
Brough Superior is one of the featured marques at the Motorcycle International Concours D'Elegance, scheduled for May 6.
Mark our words: The day that classic motorcycles will have as high a profile
as collector cars is quickly coming. An early indication of the emergence of
the collector motorcycle can be seen in the wild popularity of the
Guggenheim Museum's Art of the Motorcycle exhibit (the museum's highest grossing show ever) and the amazing collection at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama.
Another rung on the ladder to respectability may be the Legend of the
Motorcycle International Concours D'Elegance, scheduled for May 6, 2006, at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California.
The event begins at 10 a.m. and includes several displays on the stunning oceanside lawn at the Ritz-Carlton, including the Field of Fame, a display of concept bikes, a collection of the AMA's Hall of Fame Museum bikes, a chopper display, and a section reserved for racing machines. Featured
marques are Brough Superior and Crocker. George Brough's own Serial Number 001 will be on display.
Laurels will be awarded at 2:30 that afternoon. Judges include legendary
motorcycle stuntman Bud Ekins (he is credited with the jump Steve McQueen
made in The Great Escape), and Oriol Bulto, founder of Bultaco.
Like Pebble Beach and Amelia Island, this isn't going to be a cheap event to
attend. Ticket prices are $65 on the day of the event. Proceeds benefit the
Special Olympics, Roots Initiative and Boys and Girls Club of America.
For more information, contact the Concours at 415-673-7980.

Guerrilla Marketing Goes To The MallJuly 10, 2012 on 10:35 am | In Creative, Creativity, Marketing | No Comments
I am a longtime fan of good guerrilla marketing tactics. A loyal THINKing reader, Alex Walton, alerted me to one that happened in Australia.
Fantastic Delites, which makes crinkle-cut rice snacks, placed a unique vending machine – the Delite-O-Matic – in an Australian mall to see what people would do for a box of Fantastic Delites.
I'll let the video tell the rest of the story. Enjoy!

When it comes to strong and enduring ties to the local community, few institutions can match Suffolk University's Moakley Center for Public Management. The Moakley Center has been working with local and regional public agencies and nonprofit organizations for over 35 years, providing education, training, and research opportunities for public servants and community leaders.
The Moakley Center at Suffolk University was established in 1973 when the New England Commission gave the University money to develop programs to help the public service workforce do their work more efficiently and effectively. Creating a traditional academic presence (now The Institute for Public Service), Suffolk rolled out a Master of Public Administration degree in 1975. The graduate program is nationally accredited and has over 2,000 graduates.
The Moakley Center is the "clinical" partner to the Institute for Public Service. Its priorities are to promote dialogue on important public policy issues, to support and advise community organizations in meeting their service missions, and to offer programs that build human capital in the public service industry.
Our current agenda includes certificate programs in partnership with Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts, Boston Police Department, Latino Health Institute/Haitian Multi-Service Center, Massachusetts Municipal Association, Eunice Shriver Center, Massachusetts Association of C766 Approved Private Schools, and the Massachusetts Human Services Providers Council. In partnership with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Communities for People (CFP), the Moakley Center is expanding its two youth job programs—Summer iWorks and Job Opportunity Boston—matching dozens of eager teens with meaningful employment opportunities. Finally, the Moakley Center plans to continue its program evaluation and community support services with the United Teen Equality Center (UTEC) of Lowell; Higher Ground of Boston's Warren Garden neighborhood; Dunbar Community Center of Springfield; and the Towns of Pembroke, Plymouth, and Marshfield.
On behalf of the Moakley Center, I invite you to explore our site, visit our social networks, and join us in advancing the passion for service that our local community has as its proud legacy.
Warm Regards,
Sandy Matava,

Would you prefer to purchase one with a hood vs without? What if it cost $12 more?Please chime in.
Since I wear glasses, I find that the hoods on most jackets does nothing to shield my glasses from rain drops and therefore has no value to me.Sometimes I use my windshirt as a light rain jacket and I do wear it under my poncho to provide a coverage for my arms and for any rain that might blow in through the sides of the poncho.I use a Sunday Afternoon hat for sun and rain protection...with its wide and long brim, it provides me the rain protection for my glasses.Having said that, my OR windshirt does have a hood...the next one that I get will be a Golite Windshirt, which does not have a hood.Hope that helps.-Tony
I use both. I like my windproofs to be just that. Windproof. I don't like them to be very water-resistant, as that affects breathability. I don't use a windshirt as a lightweight rain jacket.As my windproofs have little water resistance, i prefer a hood for walking, then i can throw my rain jacket on top when needed.A hoodless windproof is better for cycling.
I would prefer a hooded windshirt, but my favorite windshirt (montbell) does not offer one. I use a windshirt for warmth and occasionally as a bugshirt. Having a hood means I don't have to be as careful with my headnet.
The hood doesn't add much weight but offers more versatility, in my opinion. If it is truly put to use to fend off the wind, the more solid material of an integrated hood is more protective than the separate combination of a jacket and hat, which will usually leave an unprotected area in the upper neck.
Definitely hooded. I would not buy one with it.If your core is getting cool enough to demand wind protection, your head and neck need it too.
With hood... ideally a hood can be tucked out of the way. Then the wind really kicks up it would be hard to under-estimate how much the hood helps, especially when layered over the typical wool or fleece hat which is air permeable. The hood adds a great deal of versatility.--mark
Hooded. Even for twelve bucks.
Hooded, preferably rolled into the collar like my perfect Montane Lite-speed.
Hooded, is always the best and worth the weight
I have both and prefer my hooded Patagonia Hoodini for Winter and the shoulder seasons...even when wearing a wool or fleece balaclava the addition of a hood sure adds to warmth by blocking the wind and trapping the heat!
Hooded for sure. I use the Houdini and the Lite-Speed, along with a stretch balaclava. Though it's worth noting that if the weather was going to be consistently hot I might leave the windshirt at home and just layer my BPL Trekking Shirt over a merino baselayer if extra warmth is needed. But I'd hate to be without a windshirt for most of my trips, esp since my raingear is a rain cape and windpants.
Just adding to the overwhelming majority, here--definitely with hood. If you need something to cut the wind, reduce heat loss, whatever, you lose a ton of heat through your head. Hoods make sense and add perhaps .25 ounce--ie, nothing. As for hoods and glasses, I wear glasses and most of my upper layers have hoods. I've never had a hood make my glasses get more drenched. I also don't wear windbreakers for rain. But if it's a real problem, I wear a floppy-brimmed hat under the hood. Bottom line, there's no penalty for having a hood. The price difference is insignificant. You gain versatility.
Hooded, absolutely. But withOUT any collar. I don't like the collars which the hood can be stuffed into.I wear a broad-brimmed hat, either inside the hood or outside. Works wonderfully.
No special pocket to put it in, just the hood
I prefer no hood on a wind jacket. if it's cold enough for me to need protection for my neck and head then chances are I'm wearing a lightweight hooded down sweater rather than my windshirt. A hood made of thin paperweight material is of little value to me; if the wind is cold enough that I'd want to use a windshirt hood I should be using a hood or hat that prevents radiant heat loss as well.
Hooded for sure; no hood pockets, no collars, no pockets, no fancy stuff...
Definitely hooded! Love my Montane LiteSpeed. If it's cold enough for a windshirt, then it's cold enough for a hood! Mine is a breathable windshirt, not a rain jacket.
I go hoodless, carry a hat, and wear my hair/beard longish for wind and sun protection.
Hooded, pullover, no pockets. I use the GoLite Ether.I would replace my Ether with a Brawny windshirt from BPL if it came in either red or black. The Brawny windshirt is simple and clean with useful features.

Lewis Strapp, a midfielder from Dunoon, and Scott Miller, a striker from Paisley, join youngsters from Rangers, Celtic and St Mirren in the handpicked west region list.
The Ton kids, both 13, will attend Airdrie's New Broomfield stadium on Monday 25 February for a selection trial which will involve three matches over the course of the morning.
There they will compete with players from around the country for a place in the final squad under the eye of SFA performance coach Brian McLaughlin and former Morton player-manager James Grady, who is now a player and coach development officer.
Ton under-14s coach Paul Dorrian said: "It's very good news - but it's no surprise as our boys have been performing magnificently.
"These trials are for the best of the best, and Brian McLaughlin and Campbell Money from the SFA have been attending our training and matches to assess things.
"There could easily have been more of our squad called up and that's what we will be emphasising to the rest of the boys."
Head of youth Derek Anderson added: "To have boys recognised at this level so early in the programme is a fantastic achievement and proves the academy is already moving in the right direction."

This award recognizes Northcentral Technical College alumni who distinguish themselves in their chosen fields of endeavor, by active participation in community service and volunteer organizations, and by generous and selfless giving of time, efforts, talents and financial support to further the mission of Northcentral Technical College.
2012 Award Winner
Janice Gulsvig
Janice Gulsvig graduated from NTC in 1974 with an Associate's Degree in Nursing. After working locally for a few years, she moved to Minneapolis where she continued her education and earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota.
"I found that the educational footing I received at NTC prepared me very well for entering the four-year college system," said Gulsvig. "I also discovered that the practical and clinical experience I received at NTC was far superior to that which I experienced at the University of Minnesota, which tended to be more theoretical."
After earning her bachelor's degree, Gulsvig worked in long-term care administration and management at several facilities, eventually taking a position in Arkansas as corporate director of education and training for Beverly Enterprises, the largest nursing home company in the United States.
In 2001, Gulsvig and her husband returned to Wausau and established My InnerView, which provided nursing homes, assisted living homes, hospice organizations, pharmacies, and other ancillary post-acute healthcare organizations with a way to measure and improve quality performance. The company had a staff of 55 and serves customers in every state. The Gulsvigs recently sold the company and began two new business ventures- Align, Your First 30 Partner which brings post-acute care providers, patients, and their families together as they focus on a successful recovery after a hospital stay and Living Life Solutions which evaluates home environments for safety and home modifications, allowing individuals to live as long as possible in their homes as they age.
"My career has taken me far away from the clinical nursing experience I was originally prepared for," noted Gulsvig. "I would encourage all NTC students and graduates to broaden their perspective to see all of the wonderful opportunities and potential in today's ever-changing world."
Gulsvig shares her knowledge by being a presenter at educational forums and state and national conferences on topics such as satisfaction surveys, use of data, and quality improvement in the post-acute care service sectors.
Gulsvig also shares her expertise with NTC serving as a Foundation Board member since 2010. She has been an intricate part of the formation of an Alumni Association at NTC and provides leadership to the NTC Alumni Advisory Council.

Turning the roof is exciting, but not too hard. I did not unclip the bolt protecting the roof and instead used a long runner. But the first bolt above the roof caused the rope to run around a small corner, and that caused some serious drag later. So maybe unclip the bolt above the roof after clipping the bolt above that.
Clipping the bolt above the big sloping ledge was scary for me. It's a long reach (and I'm tall), and you're a long way above the previous bolt. You have good edge for one hand, but you have to smear up with your feet to make the reach (or worse if you're short). If you blew the clip, you'd come flying over the roof and probably hit the wall below. If you're having trouble making this clip, you can traverse right on the sloping ledge and temporarily clip a bolt on Icy Paralyzer.

|I agree with Ivan's statement on clipping the bolt above the sloping ledge, it's commiting. I'm 5'6" on a good day and had to use a 6" cheater to clip it after moving up a bit on the crimps. Without it, I would have had to do a really scary move to clip. Other than that, a really fun climb.

A look at Netflix since stock plunged from peak
FILE – In this Oct. 11, 2007 file photo, private equity investor Carl Icahn speaks at the World Business Forum in New York. On Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, Netflix announced it is moving to protect itself against hostile takeovers, less than a week after activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed that he has accumulated a stake of nearly 10 percent in the online video company. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, file)
Here's a look at Netflix since its stock peaked about 16 months ago at nearly $305. Netflix had just announced an unpopular price increase in the U.S., and investors got worried by the intensity of the customer backlash.

Genealogy Research Suggestions:
There are many unique and difficult challenges encountered when researching Native American (Indian) genealogy. The traditions, oral histories, naming customs and kinship systems varied widely among tribes; therefore, it is usually necessary that the researcher become familiar with those that pertain to a particular tribe.
Valuable records of federal government agencies, including records from various field offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, have been deposited throughout the United States. National Archives records, 1830-1940, deal chiefly with Indians who maintained their tribal status. These records include lists relating to Indian removal, annuity pay rolls, annual tribal census rolls of Indians who were under the Bureau's jurisdiction (living on reservations), special rolls relating to Eastern Cherokees, claims relating to Eastern Cherokees, estate files and Carlisle Indian School Files. The Bureau of Indian Affairs census rolls are separate from and unrelated to the federal decennial census schedules.
Any American Indian who fought with federal troops may have a record of veteran's benefits or bounty land. The National Archives military records section has a separate alphabetical file for each Indian veteran who served prior to 1870.
The staff of the National Archives and its branches cannot perform research for individuals. The National Archives branch in Fort Worth, TX has one of the largest collections of American Indian genealogy materials, much of which is on microfilm. For a complete list of holdings write: Chief, Archives Branch, Federal Archives and Records Center, P. O. Box 6216, Fort Worth, TX 76115. Most of these records are full of family history details such as both Indian and "English" names, sex, degree of Indian blood, names of family, guardian, tribal and "band" affiliations, residence and occupation.
Early federal census records, 1790-1850, included Indians only if they lived in settled areas, were taxed, and did not maintain a tribal affiliation. These censuses did not specify their race. Indians were indicated as white, if living with white settlers, or black, if living with African Americans. Indians who lived on reservations or who roamed as nomads over unsettled tracts of land and were not taxed and were not counted in these federal censuses.
In the 1860 Federal Census, the category of "Indian (taxed)" was added. The 1870-1910 censuses included the category of Indian, whether taxed or not, but no Indians living on reservations were recorded in the federal censuses until 1890. Because the census of 1890 was destroyed however, the 1900 federal census is the first census available listing Indians on reservations. Microfilm of federal censuses is available through interlibrary loan from the Census Microfilm Rental Program, P. O. Box 30, Annapolis Junction, MD 20701-0030, or by personal rental from Heritage Quest Genealogical Services, P. O. Box 329, Bountiful, Utah, 84011, phone (800) 760-2455.
The Mormon church holds many birth records associated with southwestern tribes. Many long established churches have become valuable resources for documenting family lineage and names. County and State agencies should also be researched for family records.
You may also do DNA testing to find independent results of bloodline traits. Collect any and all information possible before attempting to contact any tribal authority to be prepared. Each nation has it's own rules to govern it's citizens membership status. You will need to contact the specific tribe to learn more about what the requirements are for enrollment.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. A third straight shutout loss has left the Clarkson University mens hockey team just one defeat away from seeing its season end.
Brown, the No. 7 seed, blanked the No. 10 Golden Knights 3-0 on Friday in the opening game of a best-of-three ECAC Hockey first-round series at the Meehan Auditorium. The teams meet at 7 tonight in game two and if a third game is needed it will start at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Its a situation where you start pressing and you dont feel as much poise as you would normally, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said of the scoring slump. Its frustrating for it to happen at this time.
Brown (12-12-6 overall) struck first Friday with a power-play goal from Mark Naclerio at 15 minutes, 45 seconds of the first period.
I thought we had opportunities tonight, Jones said. Well watch some video and see if there is an opportunity (to generate more offense) tomorrow.
The game remained 1-0 until Matt Lorito scored on a shot that went between the legs of Clarkson goalie Greg Lewis at 6:25 of the third period.
Clarkson pulled Lewis for an extra attacker late in the third period but the Bears sealed the win with an empty-net goal from Joey de Concilys at 19:45.
The Golden Knights were hindered on offense by the loss of leading scorer Allan McPherson, who was injured late against Union in the regular-season finale last Saturday.
McPherson tried to practice during the week but wound up having to sit out this weekends series.
Brown goalie Anthony Borelli finished with 31 saves for the shutout.
The bottom line was we didnt score a goal tonight, Jones said. We had plenty of opportunities and we needed to get one. It will be important for us tomorrow to keep putting pucks on net. We need one to go in so the floodgates can open for us.

Unlike in past debates, Perry wasn't the center of attention last night.
When he did have the stage, he touted his experience at balancing budgets here in Texas during his 12-years in office.
Brandon Rottinghaus is an associate professor of political science at the University of Houston. He says Perry needs to nail down an economic policy quickly.
"Part of the problem is that the perception is that the other candidates have got these policies and they're ready to go where Rick Perry doesn't. He mentioned last night in the debate that he's working on the plan and he's going to roll it out over the next few days, but it would have been better, I think, to have that up front ready to go for the very debate where they're talking about these important issues."
Watch the 2012 GOP presidential candidates state their cases on jobs and the economy in the Washington Post-Bloomberg debate at Dartmouth College.(The Washington Post-Bloomberg)If the video does not render, visit The Washington Post Website.
Rottinghaus says unless Perry sharpens his focus, he's in danger of becoming an also-ran in the primary. Even with a large war chest, he says a candidate without a message that resonates usually doesn't last too long.
"There have been a lot of candidates over the years that have run who have had a lot of money and who haven't gotten anywhere simply because the message didn't resonate. Having all the money in the world will only get you as far as having a quality message can send."
Perry is expected to unveil is official economic policy on Friday, including a plan for more than a million new jobs in the energy industry.

What should have won: The Wizard Of Oz
What won: Gone With The Wind
Trying to win Best Picture in the early '40s was like scoring a place in the Harlem Globetrotters while simultaneously holding down a job at Pixar and running your own space programme. In other words, bloody tough. With the likes of John Ford, Frank Capra, Lewis Milestone, William Wyler, George Cukor, Ernst Lubitsch and Leo McCarey all busy on Burbank's back lots (or in Ford's case, Monument Valley), the 1940 Oscars were the most ferociously competitive of all time.
Even Sam Wood, not in the same calibre as those seven, delivered a fancied outsider in the heartbreaking Goodbye, Mr. Chips. The winner, Gone With The Wind, and the film that should have beaten it, The Wizard Of Oz, shared a director in Victor Fleming, but the director's best work was unquestionably on the musical. Picking Oz, with all its dreamy childhood nostalgia, dark heart and mind-bending majesty, would have set the tone for bolder choices in years to come.

MASSENA - The name may be changed, but the mission of the former Alternative Education School in Massena remains the same - ensuring that students who dont fit into the regular classroom setting are still able to graduate and move on with either college or their careers.
Massena Central School officials have announced the name of the program has been changed to Delta School of Choice.
We rolled out a new name to get rid of some of the stigma that follows Alternative Education, Principal Jeremy Siddon told board of education members at their January meeting.
However, the mission remains the same, he said - aligning itself with the districts mission of all students will be college or career ready, and productive members of their community, upon graduation from Massena Central School District.
Unfortunately not every student comes to school with the tools to be successful in a traditional school setting, Mr. Siddon said.
Social studies teacher Joseph Mittiga said they were able to isolate why some students were having problems in the traditional classroom setting.
When I first became a teacher, it didnt take me long to identify sources of why kids act out, he said.
In some cases, Mr. Mittiga said, a student might be embarrassed by poor grades, leading to bad behavior. Some might begin skipping school, while others might quit.
The old solution, he said, was to isolated those students in remote classrooms or in BOCES programs, discipline them, fail them, pass undeserving studentsor allow or encourage students to drop out.
However, that means higher dropout rates, and classroom disruptions with decreased instruction for all students. Mr. Mittiga said theyre also getting students whose parents had previously dropped out of school and dont give them the greatest tools to succeed. The old solution does not work, he said.
Mr. Siddon said they couldnt simply ignore the problem, in part because state aid was tied to student performance and graduation rates, as well as the cost of social services should a student drop out and receive public assistance.
The state wants an 80 percent graduation rate, he said. Its important that we limit the number of students who drop out and have social services as a way of life after school.
Thats where Delta School of Choice, an alternative to the traditional educating setting, comes in. Delta is the mathematical symbol for change, and School of Choice means admission is a choice by the students and their parents. Together, they symbolize the students changing outlook on school and life and their desire for success.
We decided to roll out a new logo. We had students take great pride and honor when given the opportunity to design the logo, Mr. Siddon said. Admission is by choice. Parents and students have to be on board to enter the school.
The programs mission is to educate students in the best alternative school setting, and to promote volunteer service, civic involvement and character learning, he said.
Although its an alternative school, Mr. Mittiga said they were already ahead of the curve in their programming.
Quite frankly, this is pretty cutting edge. We were common core before there was common core, with an integrated curriculum and project-based learning, he said, noting they also have the same academic standards as the traditional setting.
Project-based learning is one of the things we focus on a lot, Mr. Mittiga said.
Theyre able to do that because of the smaller class sizes of approximately eight to 13 students that allow more hands-on activities, something that he said would be almost impossible to do with 30 kids.
Because classes are small I can do a lot more with them, he said.
Delta School of Choice also offers students an opportunity to earn a Regents diploma and transition into college with 20 credit hours thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Smart Scholars program, Mr. Siddon said.
They also have an opportunity for real-life experience, he said, including internships with the St. Lawrence County Youth Bureau and work with the Youth Conservation Corps.
Its important that students be given opportunities they might never have been able to get anywhere else, Mr. Siddon said.
In return, students have heightened responsibilities, he said, including assuming responsibility for their actions, setting goals and working to achieve them, working as a team with education as a common goal and connecting with their teachers to achieve greater success.
Although they may not be part of the traditional classroom environment, students at Delta School of Choice remain part of the junior or senior high school, according to Mr. Mittiga. He said they attend dances and after-school activities, and participate in sports and clubs.
We encourage them to get involved in extracurricular activities, he said.
In the past those students may have gone to the top row of bleachers in the gymnasium and sat quietly during pep rallies. Now, Mr. Mittiga said, theyre an active part of the event.
Thats changed. They look forward to being part of the pep rally, he said.
The school currently has 10 seventh graders, 10 eighth graders, 12 ninth graders, 12 10th graders, 10 11th graders and six 12th graders.
All of the students have demonstrated a desire to attend and their parents have agreed to support them, Mr. Mittiga said. Theyve also been recommended by faculty and guidance counselors for inclusion and have the ability, but for a variety of reasons have been unsuccessful in a traditional setting, he said.
The end result, he said, is improved attendance, engaged parents and fewer behavior or discipline issues. Mr. Mittiga said 80 percent of students also remain in school, compared to 100 percent who would have dropped out.
The learning environment is unlike anything Ive ever been a part of, he said.

MickeyTron Lunacy
Welcome to all things MickeyTron! On this page you'll find the MickeyTron Lunacy Disneyland Party video with footage from two nights at Disneyland's Mickey's Halloween Party, tons of photos from our costumed adventures, and the MickeyTron Lunacy Making-Of video detailing how we created our homemade, battery-powered, lighted costumes. Without further ado, let the Lunacy begin!
Next up, the Making-Of video that should give you a good idea of what's involved in using EL-Wire (EL for electroluminescent) for costumes. Beware! Soldering ahead!
The two signature images seen in both videos and on this page are recreations of two iconic Tron: Legacy posters. And since the images are just as homemade as everything else about this project we had to take each others photo separately and composite the two together. We used a single light source called a Lite Panel atop a monopod. The camera was set to snap one photo every three seconds while one of us posed and the other moved the light into various positions. Have a look at the two source images that were used to create the poster image above.
I'm proud of the job we did matching the light source between the two photos. However it took many, many raw snaps to find the two gems. You'll note Orange's pants aren't illuminated in the source photo, but are in the poster. They had shorted out after all that attraction-riding and partying in Disneyland and had to be recreated in Photoshop. But both of us got a few touch ups here and there and if you look closely enough you'll spot a few more minor discrepancies.
Finally, below are our favorite photos from the evening.
And a great time was had by all! Thanks for visiting and check back again soon for more stuff 'n' such!

Gmail's new tabbed inbox should be available to most people by now. While Gmail is still rolling out slowly; you may already have it available even if you haven't noticed.
Google will notify all users that the feature is available to them eventually, but you can check to see if it's available to you by clicking on the "gear" button and see if the entry "Configure inbox" is available.
If it is, you can switch over to the new organized inbox. Your email has already been sorted and placed in the appropriate inbox tab, but you can choose the tabs you want displayed by default.
There are only five options for now: primary, which displays the important messages, and social for stuff from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and so on.
Then, the promotions tab is for offers, newsletters and such; updates for bills and receipts, and finally forums for messages from online news groups and, well, forums.
When the new inbox works, it's actually a great way of keeping everything sorted and focusing on the stuff you want to focus on at any given time.
You can actually help it get better by moving messages to the tab you think they belong to if Google messes up, you can simply drag and drop the message to the right place.
The sorting should also get better in time as Google refines its filters and algorithms.
However, if you don't find the new inbox useful or just don't like it, you can revert to the inbox you were using before quite easily. Gmail offers several inbox types and users can switch between them.
To go back to your old inbox style or to choose between the several available, go to the "gear" menu button, select Settings > Inbox tab and pick the inbox type you want from there.
