Questions, Questions
Kevin Donlin's article on the questions you should ask about a job search has wider application, I think.
Where you work, what's working? What isn't working? How might you improve both?
The work of David Cooperrider has helped organizations like Roadway Express and the Episcopal church of California.
Maybe his concepts of appreciative inquiry can help you!

In response to Roger Fulton's response, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with his statement that 'anyone stupid enough to send a resume to a blind ad deserves a blindfold before the firing squad'. As a career coach for many years, I know that anyone who only relies on sending resumes to bind ads for their job search is going to have a difficult time. However, responding to an ad cannot hurt, and takes little time. Usually it is like emailing into a black hole, but everyone once in a while, you get a good response. A personal introduction is of course best, but if you hear of a specific job and you don't know anyone who knows anyone there, what else can you do? I, personally, have gotten what I think is good response -- maybe 10% -- and am in the running for a job I really want which I would only have found through a blind ad. Just don't rely on it.
THE best advice on jobs, job hunting, dealing with the baloney, HR (whose job it is to rule you OUT of the running, not IN) is asktheheadhunter.com and no one else. All others have been pretty soupy and generic stuff. A'la, anyone stupid enough to send a resume to a blind ad deserves a blindfold before the firing squad.
I agree with the concept of "making your own luck" in a job search. I think a key point is that in today's job market, one can't rely on the traditional process of responding to a posted opening by sending a generic resume to a nameless HR contact. Rather, you'll be more successful if you go after unadvertised positions by getting to know people in the companies where you want to work and by creating tailored communications that show how you can address the specific needs of a targeted employer.

Top 7 Questions to Ask Your Tax Advisor
The tax industry is ever changing. Tax professionals are subject to various federal and state regulations. The Internal Revenue Service is now requiring all tax return preparers to prove their competence to properly apply their tax laws.
Those preparers who are not already Enrolled Agents (EAs), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), or Attorneys, are now required to take a test to allow them to become a Registered Tax Return Preparer (RTRP). No one can use this designation until they pass this test. EAs, CPAs and Attorneys have already demonstrated their competence by passing other comprehensive tests.
These brief descriptions give you a glimpse of what these professionals can do.
- An EA, Enrolled Agent, is licensed by the Department of Treasury to represent taxpayers nationwide at all levels of the Internal Revenue Service. Some EAs also offer bookkeeping services.
- A CPA, Certified Public Accountant, is licensed by their State's Board of Accountancy to perform accounting services in that state. Those same Boards of Accountancy limit the use of the word "accounting" to their recognized CPAs. Some CPAs also practice tax.
- Attorneys are admitted to their State's Bar. Attorneys who are admitted to the Tax Court can represent taxpayers at that level of IRS Appeal.
Here are 7 questions you can ask to help ensure you find an experienced, trustworthy tax advisor:
- How long have you been in the tax business?
- What licenses or designations do you have?
- What tax issues do you specialize in?
- Do you have the knowledge and experience to handle my tax situation?
- Do you outsource any of your work?
- What's your privacy policy?
- How do you charge your fee; how much will it cost?
It is important that you establish a comfort level with your tax advisor. You want to feel safe (and you want to feel your information is safe) in sharing your important and confidential tax return information with your trusted advisor.

You can't help but love Twitter sometimes. And cellphone cameras. They both have provided an immeasurable number of talking points – and punchlines – in recent years.
I stumbled upon the photo shown above Thursday, and the possibilities were endless.
A bit of background: first off, no, he's not about to jump (I figured I'd get that out of the way immediately). The gentleman in the photo is one of Tennessee's state senators who simply wanted to have a phone conversation.
On a ledge at the State Capitol.
Sen. Frank Nicely, R-Strawberry Plains, was quick on the draw with the cellphone cam, though, and Tweeted out the photo.
"Sen. Mark Green finding a quiet spot on the ledge to make calls. #lastday #tnleg #postcardfromtheledge #tcot #tnsen," wrote Nicely.
So of course the first question in my mind was, "Was the session THAT brutal?"
OK, I've seen enough coverage of it (and written a bit of it) to realize it probably was. But still.
My next thought was that although he probably wasn't expecting to be caught on camera, he probably should have expected as much.
Seriously, people snap photos of the burgers they had for lunch; did he really think they wouldn't snap a photo of a guy chilling out on a ledge?
Which leads me to my point in all this.
No one is safe from the camera anymore. Just because you don't see a mega Canon with telephoto lens pointed in your direction doesn't mean anything anymore.
That sweet-looking grandma standing behind you in line may still think that Twitter is just that sound birds make way too early in the morning, but she's got that cellphone cam ready and waiting to snap a photo the minute you do something that would make a funny post on Facebook.
The problem with putting a camera at the fingertips of everyone who carries a cellphone is that everyone with a cellphone has a camera at their fingertips.
And as of last year, 91 percent of Americans carried a cellphone, according to the Pew Research Internet Project. That's more than 280 million people carrying cellphones, just using the total population count from the 2010 U.S. Census.
That's a lot of cameras roaming around.
So if you're not safely ensconced, alone, in your own home with the blinds shut, just assume there's probably a camera nearby just waiting…

Dupuis, Penguins not close to reaching deal
Penguins/NHL Videos
NEWARK, N.J. — Pascal Dupuis has not ruled out re-signing with the Penguins.
However, negotiations between his agent, Allan Walsh, and Penguins general manager Ray Shero — though ongoing — have not moved the sides close to a new contract.
Dupuis, a top-line right winger for center Sidney Crosby, is one of seven Penguins players set to become unrestricted free agents Friday. Those players can begin interviewing with other clubs Wednesday.
Walsh and Shero met in person several times during the NHL Entry Draft weekend, including at Prudential Center on Sunday.
Shero said Dupuis is "a player I'd like to keep." He added that possible deals with any of the impending free agents would not be impacted by attempts to sign defenseman Kris Letang to a long-term contract or the recent agreement with left winger Chris Kunitz.
Montreal is a strong contender to land Dupuis if he leaves the Penguins. Coach Michel Therrien is a fan of Dupuis dating to their days together with the Penguins.
The Canadiens have Dupuis high on their list of free-agent targets. Dupuis is French Canadian.
• Winger Craig Adams remains the Penguins' other top target to prevent from testing the market. Adams' agent, Neil Sheehy, said he believed a deal with the Penguins was likely before Friday.
• Talks with left winger Matt Cooke have not broken off, but the Penguins do not believe they can keep Cooke and Dupuis.
The club views forward Jussi Jokinen, acquired at the trade deadline, as a possible replacement for either Cooke or Dupuis. Cooke has been a staple as a third left winger since signing with the Penguins in July 2008. Cooke and Dupuis each are seeking deals at least three years in length.

Editorial: Rethink weaponry in police searches
It would not be the proudest day for Utah's law enforcement establishment if the only thing that makes it stand back and take a look at whether its tactics for serving search warrants are needlessly violent is a raid on a rich white man with a lawyer.
Or a rich white man who is a lawyer. Who was, for 12 years, Utah's top lawyer. And who, because he is the target of multiple ethics and influence peddling investigations, is fully lawyered-up, full-throated in his denials and clearly not going down without a fight.
They should think about it anyway.
The fight that is in former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has not been of the you'll-never-take-me-alive-coppers variety. The history of the sad saga involving Shurtleff, his successor John Swallow and the shady business cronies who are rolling over on them suggested it would all be played out on paper, in the media and, ultimately, in court.
So it is understandable that Shurtleff is angrily telling all who will listen that the federal and local officers who served a search warrant on his Sandy home Monday were way out of line when if they came in with assault rifles aimed and laser sights pointed at his teen-age daughter.
The official responses to Shurtleff's charges have been rather generic, insisting that officers involved followed standard procedure and "utilized the minimum force necessary." Swallow, whose home was also raided Monday, said there was no such display of force at his residence.
Shurtleff, who should know, claims that white collar investigations such as his are not generally accompanied by such displays of heavy weaponry. Experts who are not involved in the case back him up, saying that such a show of force is only justified when there is reason to believe the person being served is likely to be violent.
But there are other examples of police raids where weapons were brandished in the homes of people who were clearly no threat to officers because the officers were raiding the wrong home or targets who only became a threat when confronted by an unknown mob of people with guns.
An example of the latter case is the 2012 botched drug raid on the Ogden home of small-time marijuana grower Matthew Stewart. One officer was killed in the needless firefight that followed the foolish incursion. Stewart was seriously injured and later committed suicide in jail.
We don't want our law enforcement officers taking a paper clip to a gun fight. But we don't want them starting a gun fight, or daring someone else to start one, where none is necessary. And they are very seldom necessary.

HTC Golf leaks as larger, faster entry-level Android
updated 01:10 pm EDT, Mon March 12, 2012
HTC prepping to release entry-level Golf handset
An upcoming entry-level handset from HTC, codenamed the Golf, has been outed by a test photo taken by its three-megapixel camera. Found by PocketNow, the image's EXIF data and other sources reveal the handset will ship with Android 4.0 onboard. The hardware specs are said to include a CPU with a clock speed of less than 1GHz and a 3.5-inch display with a 320x240 resolution.
The device would be a significant improvement the company's current budget offering, the Wildfire S. While the 4GB of integrated storage space and microSD memory card slot would be the same, the bigger screen (up from 3.2 inches) and possible faster processor (up from 600MHz) would make it more usable. A 7.2Mbps HSDPA radio may be onboard as well to give it comparable 3G.
The handset should arrive this spring in a number of available colors, likely under a different name.

Week after week, the Fort Collins City Council is displaying courage and bold leadership in its decision-making. We are lucky to have them representing us.
The most recent display of leadership came in the context of redevelopment plans for the Interstate 25/Colorado Highway 392 interchange near Windsor. The development plan for the intersection appeared to be fiscally irresponsible, would have drained sales tax away from the city's coffers and would have substantially degraded the environment at the intersection, along the northern Front Range and, ultimately, for the planet.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have ended Adam Eaton's rehabilitation stint in the minors after the young outfielder felt soreness in his injured left elbow.
Eaton had been a designated hitter in the minors for the past few weeks but began playing the outfield last weekend. Manager Kirk Gibson, speaking before Arizona's game at Colorado on Wednesday, says Eaton felt discomfort in the elbow during an appearance with Triple-A Reno on Monday and was returning to Phoenix to be examined by team doctor Michael Lee.
Eaton has been on the disabled list all season after spraining his elbow in spring training. Before that, he had been slated to play center field and be the team's leadoff hitter.

Let me Make 1 Thing Perfectly Clear
Actually two things. As a huge Chicago Bears fan:
1. I do not want Derrick Anderson.
2. I do not want Donovan McNabb.
I get a lot of "hey, how you doing, how about those Bears, boy, at least they'll be better once they go after Anderson/McNabb."
So, to make my opinion on the subject perfectly clear:
1. Derrick Anderson had a nice breakout season, and Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel has announced that he will listen to trade offers from other teams. If Cleveland tenders the restricted free agent at the highest level, that means any team signing him will need to give first and third round picks to the Browns. Outside of this, the Browns will probably ask for the minimum of a first-round pick, or they'll have Anderson back for one more season. Anderson's performance tailed off in December.? He could absolutely still be another Rick Mirer for all anyone knows.? There are too many other holes on the Bears to fill to throw away a first-rounder on Derrick Anderson.
2. Donovan McNabb is under contract with the Eagles, a contract that I believe pays him somewhere around $20 million in two seasons. While Philadelphia may go against what they're saying and listen to offers, they're not going to give away the face of their franchise. It was reported that the Eagles were asking for three first-round picks for McNabb prior to this year's trade deadline. There are too many other holes to fill on the Bears to give those picks and that money up for Donovan McNabb, that's even if he is made available.
3. In case I wasn't clear, I do NOT want the Bears to pursue either of these quarterbacks. There are too many other holes to fill.
For all I care, re-sign Rex Grossman to a two-year deal, have him battle with Kyle Orton in 2008, in my opinion neither of them wins the Super Bowl for the Bears. In the meantime, fix the problems with the running game, offensive line and at safety, then figure out the quarterback position.
There, that should be clear.

|New records in aerobic power among octogenarian lifelong endurance athletes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23065759 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We examined whole body aerobic capacity and myocellular markers of oxidative metabolism in lifelong endurance athletes [n = 9, 81 ± 1 yr, 68 ± 3 kg, body mass index (BMI) = 23 ± 1 kg/m(2)] and age-matched, healthy, untrained men (n = 6; 82 ± 1 y, 77 ± 5 kg, BMI = 26 ± 1 kg/m(2)). The endurance athletes were cross-country skiers, including a former Olympic champion and several national/regional champions, with a history of aerobic exercise and participation in endurance events throughout their lives. Each subject performed a maximal cycle test to assess aerobic capacity (VO(2max)). Subjects had a resting vastus lateralis muscle biopsy to assess oxidative enzymes (citrate synthase and βHAD) and molecular (mRNA) targets associated with mitochondrial biogenesis [peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam)]. The octogenarian athletes had a higher (P < 0.05) absolute (2.6 ± 0.1 vs. 1.6 ± 0.1 l/min) and relative (38 ± 1 vs. 21 ± 1 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) VO(2max), ventilation (79 ± 3 vs. 64 ± 7 l/min), heart rate (160 ± 5 vs. 146 ± 8 beats per minute), and final workload (182 ± 4 vs. 131 ± 14 W). Skeletal muscle oxidative enzymes were 54% (citrate synthase) and 42% (βHAD) higher (P < 0.05) in the octogenarian athletes. Likewise, basal PGC-1α and Tfam mRNA were 135% and 80% greater (P < 0.05) in the octogenarian athletes. To our knowledge, the VO(2max) of the lifelong endurance athletes is the highest recorded in humans >80 yr of age and comparable to nonendurance trained men 40 years younger. The superior cardiovascular and skeletal muscle health profile of the octogenarian athletes provides a large functional reserve above the aerobic frailty threshold and is associated with lower risk for disability and mortality.

A 1-2 punch of stormy weather strikes Western Washington
And as we shift from our two month pattern of generally moderate to warm to an upcoming stretch of cooler than normal temperatures, the atmosphere is getting pretty antsy about it.
After a windy morning up north and along the coast (with wind gusts to 45-55 mph, including a gust to 56 mph in Oak Harbor) we're now seeing a cold, unstable air mass begin to move in, and that's touched off some heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms.
For the Puget Sound area, the timing couldn't have been much worse, as a drenching rain combined with winds gusting to 35-45 mph made for an awful time to be driving or just outdoors in general.
The 520 Bridge reported a gust to 46 mph while the University of Washington reported a peak gust of 44 mph. Over on the Puget Sound shores, a gust of 56 mph was recorded at Alki Beach and 45 mph was recorded at West Point Lighthouse off Magnolia.
The storm knocked out power to 2,800 Seattle City Light customers for a brief time, most in Shoreline. Puget Sound Energy also had some 40,000 customers in the dark. About 1,500 of the affected customers were in Kenmore where power has since been restored. A separate outage occurred near Bremerton.
In North Seattle, a tree fell on power lines at Densmore Ave. N. And N. 122nd St., blocking traffic and cutting power to area residents.
A downed tree blocked the three northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Lakeview in Seattle around 11 p.m.
Further south, a major power transmission line failed that left 5,600 customers of Peninsula Light in the dark -- nearly all of the Key Peninsula. Power officials have not said if that failure was weather related.
The DOT reported trees blocked both directions of SR-3 near Bayshore Drive outside of Shelton and also at the SR-302 junction south of Port Orchard. US-101 was also blocked near Hamma Hamma Monday evening due to downed trees.
Mason County PUD 3 reported an outage affecting some 2,000 customers in the wake of the storm. Service was restored by 9:40 p.m.
And about 30,000 people were left in the dark in Kitsap County with no word on when power might be restored.
Over on the coast, strong thunderstorms rolled in with Hoquiam getting a gust of 64 mph as a cell blew though. Astoria and Illwaco also reported lightning with the storm.
Wind will gradually calm down overnight with showers still out there but decreasing in intensity. Lows in the upper 30s.
Tuesday will see rain at times with breezy winds to 25-35 mph, but not as active as today. Highs will be in the low-mid 40s.
But this is just the opening act in what appears to be a change to a colder weather pattern up ahead, with even chances of lowland snow popping into the forecast for the end of the week and weekend. Check the KOMO Weather Center for the latest forecast.

text: Al-Qaeda Head to Militants: Think Smaller Al-Zawahri likes the idea of attacks 'by one brother' By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted Sep 13, 2013 8:44 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (61) (Newser) – In a speech disseminated yesterday (a day after Sept. 11, points out Reuters), al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri pushed militants to think smaller. He asserted that attacks "by one brother or a few of the brothers" would have a big effect, explaining that "we should bleed America economically by provoking it to continue in its massive expenditure on its security, for the weak point of America is its economy, which has already begun to stagger due to the military and security expenditure." All that would be required to so is an attack "here and there." Of course, he'd still like to see a "large strike ... even if it takes years of patience for this," CNN reports him as saying. In the meantime, he called on Muslims to eschew the US dollar and boycott American goods. al-Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahri is shown in video the AP obtained Feb. 12, 2012, from the SITE Intel Group.

Here's ET's Wife of West St. Paul: "I have been reading with interest about Lula Montana's 'pot roast' aroma in her car.
"Quite a few years ago, ET and I had returned from a two-week vacation in Mexico on a Saturday. The car had not been driven for that length of time. ET was a bird feeder and had many bags of things like grain and dried corn in the garage.
"On Sunday, we went to our church. Before we got there, we detected an aroma of popcorn! When we got home after church, ET raised the hood and discovered the source. The engine and everything else with a flat surface was full of little piles of dried corn, evidently deposited by mice looking for warm places for their nests!
"ET was feeding more than birds!"
Marie of North Branch ("formerly of Ridgeland, Wis.
"Upon mentioning this to my husband a few times, he finally looked under the hood -- and every corner and crevice of the engine was covered with dry dog food. We had two dogs at that time and had left a bowl of food in the garage for them, and mice had carried it piece by piece to the engine, for some unknown reason.
"We removed the dog food and put out d-Con mouse poison, and then they carried all the little blue pellets into the engine in neat little piles.
"Then someone told us about cotton balls dipped in peppermint extract, set into various parts of the engine. Apparently, they don't like this smell.
"Animals are so interesting!"
Our birds, ourselves
Ask Al B Division
Grandpa Joe of Chisago City: "This is a query for your resident ornithologist, Al B.
"Saturday afternoon, I was walking downtown in Chisago City. As I passed the post office, I noticed a sizable group of small birds on a shrub outside (they looked to be wrens). With the exception of several that took off hovering close above the shrub, they didn't seem particularly bothered at my presence as I walked by. When I walked by a little later, they were still there. Shortly after, when I came out of a nearby store, they had not as yet left. This struck me as curious, as most birds will take off in fright at the mere sight of a human being.
"My question to Al is: What would cause a group of small birds to gather in an obviously heavy-traffic human location?"
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: We've heard from our Official Ornithologist, Al B of Hartland:
"Dear Grandpa Joe of Chisago City,
"Aren't birds wonderful? There is always a mystery.
"It sounds like house sparrows. They are LBJs -- Little Brown Jobs. I find that those of my acquaintance love shrubs, particularly the ubiquitous arborvitae.
"During the day, sparrows search for food. They aren't fussy eaters and eat everything from insects to weed seeds to detritus from restaurants.
"You'd think the birds would be tired after a long day, but at sunset, they chirp as if they'd just gotten out of bed. Perhaps they don't like settling down for the night. They are as I was when I was a small boy and my parents told me to go to bed. I came up with all sorts of excuses. I didn't go quietly, and neither do the house sparrows. When nightfall nears, house sparrows move to a pre-roosting site. The energetic birds fly from one bush or tree to the next, creating noise as they go. It's thought that all the calling and flying about alerts other sparrows that it's time to go to the roost. They act as if sleeping is the last thing on their agenda. That is probably what the birds in your question were up to. The sparrows didn't mean to be rude and to ignore you. They were just preoccupied. The thing about house sparrows is that they are street smart and wise to the world. They are often city slickers. They are familiar with people and sometimes tend to disregard us. Eventually, a small flock of sparrows gathers and heads to a communal roosting area. Even there, they have difficulty calming down. The roost is filled with chirps and squabbling. Researchers believe that the sounds are a form of communication that helps the birds gain information from others. I suspect the fussing involves establishment of pecking order and perching preferences. On the coldest of winter days, it sounds as though house sparrows are holding a chirpathon.
"I suppose they could have been talking about you. If they were, I'm sure they had nothing but good things to say.
"Thanks for noticing them."
Our times
Gma Tom: "Just got back from my weekly grocery-shopping expedition, with the purchase of my favorite margarine in tow -- which proclaimed 'a new shape, but still 15 oz.'
"What do you mean 'still 15 oz.'? Wasn't the old, round shape a full pound? Upon checking the old, round container, I discovered that, no, it was also 15 ounces. I never would have noticed had not the new-shaped product proclaimed 'still 15 oz.'
"So is the pound of margarine, now 15 ounces, a surprise? Of course not. The standard 18-ounce peanut butter has been reduced to 16 or even 15 ounces. Of course, it started with the 3-pound coffee can, which now is just barely over 2 pounds. Chocolate chips no longer come in 16-ounce bags, and neither do cranberries.
"Will a dozen eggs soon be only 11 or 10?"
Gee, our old La Salle ran great!
Foods Division
Remember Me of Rochester: "Being a nonagenarian, I enjoy BB articles about remembering, especially foods. Two foods I have enjoyed reading about: pasties and hash.
"When I was a child and we vacationed in Pennsylvania, I remember going to small parks for 'Pasty Night.' These delicious hand-held turnovers were filled with potatoes, onion, and meat. Pasty Night was a way for country churches to do mission work. I cannot remember if there was anything else offered (like a salad or dessert), but I only wanted a hand-held pasty. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that again!
"Now hash -- that is something I still make. In my family recipe, we use raw potatoes and onions plus the leftover roast beef (not corned beef). Then we grind everything up, add enough water (not gravy) to moisten, and either bake or fry until the hash is golden brown. Either catsup or a sunny-side-up egg completes a great comfort food.
"As I eat, I find myself planning my next meal. Is that something an OTD person does?"
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: Only an optimistic one!
The vision thing
Tony of Lake Elmo: "Subject: Many hands, light work?
"There was a picture in the Pioneer Press the other day that showed eight DNR people taking a measurement of water flow under the ice on the Crow River. The story mentioned that $330 million of the Legacy Amendment windfall had been spent on clean-water projects in the last five years. I suppose I am not the only one who saw the picture and thought: 'That's exactly how they staffed public works where I grew up in Chicago' "
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: This might be that rare case when you are the only one.
Not exactly what they had in mind
Email from Donald: "Subject: Missing the pitch.
"There's a TV ad for a cold medicine for people with high blood pressure, and prominently featured in the ad and on the product's container are the large, red, capital letters 'HBP.' Maybe it's just the longing for the end of winter, and the thought of spring training starting in a few weeks, but this is what I think of when the letters appear: Hit By Pitcher."
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: Hang in there, Donald. Spring is right around the corner. (Please!)

The Cowboys closed training camp Thursday at Cowboys Stadium, and veteran offensive lineman Montrae Holland still wasn't in uniform.
It's looking more and more likely that the Cowboys will start the season with two rookies on the offensive line a season after they had the NFL's oldest offensive line.
First-round draft choice Tyron Smith is the starter at right tackle. Seventh-round pick Bill Nagy is in his second week of practicing with the first team at left guard, and has impressed the coaches.
Once Kyle Kosier moved to right guard early in camp, it seemed Holland would start at left guard. But Holland came to camp out of shape and injured his back Aug. 5. He has yet to return to practice, and his window to be ready for the Sept. 11 opener at the New York Jets closes by the day.
"I think we have to see him. We have to see health-wise and we have to see how he fits in with the guys who are playing next to him," offensive line coach Hudson Houck said. "Not being able to practice is obviously an issue."
Holland said last week his back was feeling better but declined further comment until he returns to practice.
Holland went through an intense workout Thursday morning with resistance training. Strength and conditioning coach Mike Woicik directed the 340-pounder through a series of sprints that had him wobbling off the field, his T-shirt soaked with sweat.
Coach Jason Garrett said Holland's rehab work has "come along really well," and said the team is "hopeful by early next week maybe we can get him out there practicing some football."

|Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors: diagnosis and treatment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21351698 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Carcinoid tumors are malignancies originating from neuroendocrine cells, most commonly encountered in the gastrointestinal tract, in a rate of 64%, with the majority affecting the ileum. Certain genetic syndromes sometimes include carcinoid tumors in their phenotype. These malignancies may be rather asymptomatic, although occasionally they behave aggressively. They are typically diagnosed due to the effects of a locally advanced disease, or when producing symptoms because of hormone secretion (carcinoid syndrome). A better understanding of their molecular biology and behavior is demanded so that these tumors to be diagnosed precociously and managed effectively.

President announces ex-telecom lobbyist Tom Wheeler to head FCC
updated 07:26 pm EDT, Wed May 1, 2013
Telecom enthusiastic about new chair, Wheeler's stances on industry unclear
As rumored yesterday, President Obama has nominated former wireless lobbyist Tom Wheeler to replace outgoing FCC chairman Julius Genachowski. An acting chair has also been named to serve until the Congressional approval process is complete -- Mignon Clyburn, four-year veteran of the agency will stand as head of the agency in the interim.
Wheeler is now a venture capitalist, and has led the National Cable Television Association, followed by a stint as the head of the mobile industry group's Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) from 1992 through 2004.
AT&T calls Wheeler an "inspired pick to lead the FCC." The industry giant said it hopes that Wheeler will rid the administration of "antiquated rules" and "outdated laws." In a blog post by AT&T's Senior Executive VP Jim Cicconi, the company said that "the mission of the FCC in the 21st Century must be re-examined, and its rules and methods modernized. In this situation, I can think of no nominee more talented or whose leadership skills are more needed. Moreover, Mr. Wheeler will be joining a complement of fellow commissioners who are equally formidable and well suited for this important moment in the FCC's history."
Comcast had similar praise for the nominee, saying that "We congratulate Tom Wheeler on his nomination as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. His vast knowledge of the communications industry, as well as his proven leadership, will be invaluable as the Commission sets its course for our nation's digital future. We applaud President Obama's nomination and we look forward to working with the Commission under Tom's leadership."

Roundup: Chesapeake posts $2B loss; Exxon profit falls to $9.6B; more
II-VI acquires ceramics producer for $71.4M
II-VI Inc., a high-tech optics manufacturer based in Saxonburg, said on Thursday it acquired a Connecticut-based developer of advanced ceramic materials for at least $71.4 million in cash. M Cubed Technologies Inc. is a privately held company based in Newton, Conn., that also develops precision motion control products. It had $52 million in revenue in the year ended June 30. M Cubed's 200 workers are expected to join II-VI, which employs 6,030 people, including 450 in Saxonburg. The acquired company's employees will remain based at their plant in Monroe, Conn., administrative office in Newtown, Conn., and plant in Newark, Del., said Craig Creaturo, chief financial officer of II-VI. As a result of the deal, which closed Thursday, II-VI said it expected revenue in the year ending June 30 to range between $585 million and $595 million, up from the previous $550 million to $560 million. Annual earnings are now expected to range between $1.01 and $1.09, up from the previous $1.00 to $1.06.
Chesapeake loss biggest in 3 years
Chesapeake Energy Corp., the second-largest natural gas producer, posted its biggest net loss in more than three years after a plunge in gas prices prompted a $2 billion writedown in the value of gas fields. Chesapeake reported a net loss of $2.01 billion, or $3.19 a share, compared with profit of $922 million, or $1.23, a year earlier, the Oklahoma City-based company said. Excluding one-time items such as the writedown, Chesapeake earned 10 cents a share, a penny more than the average of 34 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
GNC Holdings profit, revenue up
GNC Holdings Inc., which sells vitamins, herbal supplements and other health products, said Thursday that net income rose 28 percent in the third quarter on a 16 percent rise in revenue. GNC's results were slightly better than Wall Street expected, and the company made modest increases to its full-year guidance. The company said its net income rose to $62.2 million, or 60 cents per share, from $48.7 million, or 45 cents per share. Its adjusted earnings came to 61 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected 58 cents per share. Revenue increased to $621.6 million from $538 million. Analysts expected $618.6 million in revenue.
Exxon's 3Q profit drops to $9.6B
Exxon Mobil says its profit fell 7 percent in the third quarter as it produced less oil and gas and fetched lower prices. The nation's biggest oil company says that net income totaled $9.57 billion, down from $10.33 billion a year earlier. That works out to $2.09 per share. Analysts expected $1.95 per share, according to FactSet. Revenue fell 8 percent, to $115.71 billion, still better than the $112.40 billion that analysts had forecast. The weak global economy has lowered demand for everything from gasoline to jet fuel.
L.B. Foster profit falls 15.6%
L.B. Foster Co., Green Tree, said quarterly net income dropped 15.6 percent to about $8.2 million, or 81 cents a share, compared with more than $9.7 million, or 95 cents a share, a year earlier. The rail supply and servicing company's sales increased 7.6 percent to more than $170 million from $158 million. Results include a $3 million warranty charge related to expected costs of settling claims for defective railroad ties made in Nebraska from 1998 to 2011.
• TMS International Corp., the parent of Tube City IMS Corp. in Glassport, said quarterly earnings jumped 51 percent to about $9.8 million, or 25 cents a share, compared with $6.5 million, or 17 cents a share, a year earlier. Total revenue fell 19 percent to $573 million from $709 million. The company provides scrap steel and other industrial services to steel mills.
• Allegheny Valley Bancorp Inc., Lawrenceville, said net income decreased 26 percent to $562,000, or 58 cents a share, compared with $760,000, or 80 cents a share, a year earlier. Total assets stood at $409 million as of Sept. 30. Allegheny Valley Bank has nine branches in the Pittsburgh area.
Other business news
• Employees at the Dunkirk Specialty Steel LLC unit of Universal Stainless & Alloy Product Inc. are continuing to work after their contract expired.

The extension is to expire at midnight on Nov. 11. The specialty steelmaker's other plants in Bridgeville and Titusville are covered under separate contracts and aren't affected.
• Sisterson & Co. LLP said Bradley P. Lusk will become its managing partner as of Jan. 1. He will succeed William E. Troup, who has served in that position with the Downtown certified public accounting and consulting firm since 1997. Troup announced his retirement and will continue until then as assurance services partner.
• PNC Foundation said Thursday that it will donate more than $300,000 for relief for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Half the money will go to the American Red Cross, and the other half will go to the Salvation Army.

QUEENSRYCHE Covers Album Details Announced
Adventurous 11-Song Collection of Covers Ranges From Black Sabbath to Broadway, Including the Band's Unique Take on Songs By U2, Queen, Pink Floyd, Buffalo Springfield, Peter Gabriel, The Police, The O'Jays, and More
Available From Rhino November 13
Queensrÿche pay tribute to some of their favorite songs with an adventurous collection of covers that range from Black Sabbath and The O'Jays to Italian opera and Broadway musical. Singer and chief songwriter Geoff Tate, guitarists Michael Wilton and Mike Stone, bassist Eddie Jackson, and drummer Scott Rockenfield put their stamp on 11 classic tracks with TAKE COVER. The album is available November 13 at regular physical retail outlets and at [url]www.rhino.com[/url] for a suggested price of $13.98, with a digital version also available for the suggested price of $7.99. The album will also be released on 180-gram vinyl on November 20 for a suggested price of $13.98.
Not known for playing many covers live, Tate says the album gave the band a chance to relax and have some fun. "During sound checks, Stone and Michael like to play 'name that riff,' and sometimes the whole band joins in. That's really the way this album came together too. We got together and started playing songs to each other, and then we picked our favorites."
The eclectic list of songs reflects the members' divergent tastes and includes a few surprising selections such as "Heaven On Their Minds" from the hit musical Jesus Christ Superstar, the O'Jays R&B classic "For Love Of Money" and an operatic epic originally performed by the Italian duo of Carlo Marrale and Cheope, "Odissea." Recognized as an accomplished vocalist, Tate says he enjoyed the song's demanding arrangement. "I really like this song because there is a lot for a singer to sink his teeth into, plus I got a chance to sing in Italian, which was interesting considering I don't speak a word of it."
The set covers a lot of ground both lyrically and musically, opening with "Innuendo," Queen's epic song about life and death; "Almost Cut My Hair," Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's paean to freedom; and the medieval metal of Black Sabbath's "Neon Knights." Starting September 5, Queensrÿche and Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio (touring as Heaven And Hell), will play a month of North American concerts. Says Tate, "Ronnie took us out on our first European tour and he's always been good to us. With the tour coming up, this seemed like a nice way to pay tribute to him. I hope he likes it, or I'm sure I'll hear about it every night of the tour."
TAKE COVER also features Queensrÿche's distinctive arrangement of Pink Floyd's "Welcome To The Machine," an acoustic version of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," and a highly charged live version of U2's "Bullet The Blue Sky." "We'll never top the originals; they're classics for a reason," Tate says. "We were more focused on finding different approaches that took the songs in unexpected directions."
Singing Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" and the Police's "Synchronicity II,"
Tate says, were opportunities for him to explore music he'd previously overlooked. "I'd heard these songs on the radio before, but I didn't really appreciate them before the guys suggested we record them. It was a rewarding experience doing this album because it gave us all a chance to pay tribute to some of the bands that have meant so much to us over the years, and we all discovered new songs to love."

Damn though, the Floyd, Gabriel, and Sabbath songs should be incredible.
I'm interested in [I]Innuendo[/I], [I]Synchronicity II[/I] (though I wish it was [I]Synch I[/I]) and of course, [I]Neon Knights[/I].
Whoa nice.
I think it's a good selection. $8 for a digital version is a pretty nice deal too. I expect this CD to be $9/10 in store, which again... not bad.
Welcome to the Machine? Man, everyone covers that one.
[QUOTE=powerslave_85;166278]Welcome to the Machine? Man, everyone covers that one.[/QUOTE]
I trust them with it. Their version of Comfortably Numb on the Tribe tour is brilliant.
No, I'm sure they'll do a good job with it, I just wish they were a little more adventurous with their choice of Pink Floyd song.

Agreed, but at least it's not "Money" ;)
they could have picked a better U2 song as well. Besides, Sepultura already covered it.

Jayco: America's Most Livable RV's
Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm—in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledgling company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers. Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,600 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
Jayco, Inc. develops and manufactures a full-line of recreation vehicles at its company headquarters in rural Middlebury, Indiana. With a history dating back to 1968, Jayco's mission remains unchanged—to build exemplary RV's and provide customers with extraordinary service after the sale. Whether your travels take you through Middlebury or you simply want a closer look at how we build our RV's, please visit us. We look forward to meeting you!

Could a blink of one eye be sent for its first.
One has its power, a consumed grip as it looked.
From its long gasping stare a triumph set thru.
A left in a hint as it too had its stare.
One as been feeding as them all had its glare.
In a grip of it being a blink as it stared.
Elation is followed from when it looked stared.
A blink has had meaning as it done from in glare.

abstract classes r used when u want to make sure that their is a method that the subclass has to inherit and it does not a means to provide multiple inheritence but interfaces r used for multiple inheritence.
also u can make a reference of interface but not of any abstract class.

Actually, the only real differences I see between abstract classes and interfaces are A) you have to implement an interface, where as an abstract class is extended and B) an abstract class can contain methods with implementations, where as an interface can not and C) you can only extend one class, but you can implement any number of interfaces. While interfaces are
's answer to multiple inheritance, it does not function quite the same way.

public abstract class Foo { public abstract void getFoo(); } public class Bar extends Foo { public void getFoo() { System.out.println( "Foo!" ); } } public class TestFoobar { public static void main( String[] args ) { Foo f = new Bar() ; f.getFoo(); } }
And I'll get "Foo!" printed out. I get the exact same response if I have this code:
public interface Foo { public abstract void getFoo(); } public class Bar implements Foo { public void getFoo() { System.out.println( "Foo!" ); } } public class TestFoobar { public static void main( String[] args ) { Foo f = new Bar() ; f.getFoo(); } }
The two abstract and interface classes act the same way here. However, I could add another method to the abstract Foo class, and give it an implementation, but could not do the same to the interface Foo, the compiler would give an error. Preferably, I would use the interface version over the abstract, since you only get to extend one class. The only time you would want to use abstract (correct me if I am wrong here) classes is if that class also needed some of its own implementation, or just to make the design make sense (an abstract Animal class probably wouldn't be a logical interface).
Hope that helps

Danica Patrick isn't in this year's ESPN the Magazine "body issue" and she may not be in it next year, the year after or possibly ever, but she'll consider the offer every year.
"When I speak to them and they ask me each time I say, 'Don't stop asking. I don't know. I might change my mind one year. And it might be something that parallels something else I'm doing, or where I'm at, or how I'm feeling,'" Patrick told Yahoo! Sports. "But just not right now."
Patrick said she feels comfortable appearing in a swimsuit on camera, but won't go beyond that yet.
"I just never felt like that was something I needed or wanted to do," Patrick said. "A lot of the stuff that I've done that has been scantily clad has all been swimsuit stuff."
This year's issue includes photos of Gary Player, Miesha Tate, Courtney Force, Colin Kaepernick, Giancarlo Stanton and Kerri Walsh, among other athletes. Patrick further explained that appearing in a swim suit is much different than doing the "body issue."
"There's a difference to me between going to the beach and wearing a swimming suit and going to the beach and wearing nothing or paint," Patrick said. "That's just pushing the limit a little bit … There's already enough stuff that I do that pushes that. So, I'd rather stay in my full comfort zone than go that far."
That's a run. Oh, and that's got to hurt.
