By Lance on Apr 14, 2010 in Life
This post is for my Brazen Careerist peeps, no dirty sex or douchebaggery today. I'm blogging about jobs and stuff.
So the deal is I scored a job with a Web technology startup just under a year ago. I ostensibly do Sales, but as anyone who has ever worked for a startup knows, you wear a lot of different hats in these situations. Besides sales I've done some marketing, account management, business development, customer service, SEO, and even a bit of design work. I assist and work with our CEO on a daily basis and I've seen all aspects of the business end of the firm. It's a pretty solid situation to be in.
I really like the way our office is set up. It's vastly different from any other place I've ever worked. Firstly, our startup does a SCRUM-style of development (wiki that if you're interested in details) which is a very intense way to run development. Its strengths are agility and rapid deployment, which is critical for us because we're in a competitive space and we have to make stuff really fast.
One aspect of SCRUM is that every single morning at 9:00 am we have a "stand-up" meeting of the entire firm (a dozen people). Stand-up literally means we're all standing in a circle and each person states what they did the previous day and what they're working on today. The developers says things like they finished this-and-that ticket and the designers say they finished so-and-so graphics for a particular project. I give a 10 second sales report. Our project manager gives an update on the overall progress of the week and our CEO tells what business and strategic progress we've made and will often say a few words intended to get us pumped up for the day.
I was shocked the first week I did stand-ups because it meant everyone knew exactly what you were doing and what you had done, and it also meant you HAD to be on-time every day. So for the past year, unless I've been out sick, I've been on-time to work every single day. I think I was five minutes late once because of traffic and I still did the stand-up. I've never been in an office situation where every person is on-time every day so I feel that this is an incredibly effective system. It also creates a decent sense of team and equality…no one person is given more or less time during the meeting, even the interns.
Another thing I like is that everyone uses MacBooks on a wireless network and we walk around with our laptops to show stuff or take notes or do whatever we need anywhere in the office. I usually work in a sales office where I can close the door if I need, but I can always pick up a cordless and make a call in the hallway if I wanted. There are couches in the hallway, so sometimes I sit out there and work.
We use a shared Google calendar to track and schedule events. If I need to meet with our CEO or CTO, I simply schedule a block
on the gcal. Then I walk to his desk with my laptop and take notes on Evernote for whatever it is we're talking about. It's pretty close to an office without boundaries and we actually use technology to make us more efficient. We also heavily use webinars and Skype for online meetings. We also use Google Docs spreadsheets to track several other aspects of the company, such as workflow, and I share Sales resources over Docs also.
We have TONS of meetings, however, most meetings are short and sweet, say ten minutes on average. A meeting might be me and the CTO discussing a technical solution so I can write about it in a proposal. It's closer to the equivalent of asking the guy in the cube next to you a question. We do have longer meetings as needed, but these are always on point. It seems to be a pretty effective way of running an office.
Things I don't like: the pay could be better and the daily intensity is pretty high. I'm well equipped to manage the intensity but still sometimes it stresses me out. Speaking of stress, there's always the threat that the company will go under and I'll be out of work. That threat is there every week pretty much. Another thing that sucks is it's a total sausage fest in the office, only two chicks and the rest dudes. The good news is we can tell dirty jokes or download porn whenever we want.
Other things that sucked: I do have benefits but it took over five months for me to get them. There was supposed to be a 90 day review period but my performance review kept getting pushed back and then we got a new HR manager and that delayed everything, so I got pretty pissed about that situation. But, now I have benefits, and it's a pretty damned good package for a startup. The last web development firm I worked for had benefits but they were non-existent compared to this place, so that's good.
We've gotten paid late before and that sucked. I can go to lunch whenever the hell I want, but sometimes I have to eat at my desk because I'm slammed. Since we're small and everyone is so busy, it's pretty much up to me to improve and expand our sales process. I can build our system and team to whatever my vision is, which is awesome. I love that level of responsibility. So, provided I dont show up one day and the doors are closed because we ran out of money, I like it pretty good here. That's life in a startup.

Seeking answers from Big Tech — and continuing to be stonewalled
Facebook and other popular gathering places on the Internet are fast becoming the equivalent of a public commons, where many of our essential personal, professional, and governmental interactions take place, and a portal through which we access a large and growing variety of goods and services.
Yet I have no right to access or remain in this corporate-controlled space, from which I can be ejected at any moment for any reason, with no meaningful ability to appeal that decision, plead my case, or even learn about what prompted my corporate masters to cast me into exile.
That's what I learned last week when Facebook mistakenly removed a page that I created two years ago to promote my book, The Tribes of Burning Man — ostensibly for "bullying" — and then temporarily suspended my personal posting privileges. My inquiries to find out what happened were ignored until I threatened to turn up the journalistic heat, and even then I couldn't get any explanation beyond Facebook's admission that "The removal was a mistake."
Not that I expected any real substance or accountability. If there's one thing I've learned from covering the technology industry over the last few years — from challenging the tax breaks designed to keep Twitter in town two years ago to my recent revelations that Airbnb is refusing to pay the Transient Occupancy Tax it owes the city — it's that these companies address issues of public access, rights, and equity on their terms or not at all.
That's even the case in the emerging realm of wiring cities with fiber to offer high-speed Internet access to all citizens, where Google is moving quickly to short-circuit municipal broadband efforts like the plan San Francisco is now considering. GoogleFiber is making Kansas City and other cash-strapped jurisdictions offers they can't refuse, while simultaneously undermining the long-established principle of requiring telecommunications companies that use public rights-of-way to offer universal access.
"Telecommunications remains a utility," says Matt Wood, policy director for Free Press, which works on net neutrality and municipal broadband issues .
I heard Wood speak in a May 24 conference call that The Media Consortium organized for journalists. He was joined by a Kansas City official and Institute for Local Self-Reliance member. Google refused to provide a representative.
Wood emphasized "the need for a public oversight role and commitment to universal access" by Google and other companies that contract with cities to lay fiber, similar to how phone companies were required to serve every household, and he told us that "no rules will apply if certain companies get their way."
But even though the federal government created the Internet and still has clear legal authority to regulate telecommunications access and fairness — and even though Facebook's billion-plus users give it unrivaled market share and power — Wood (a Harvard Law School graduate) doesn't think private citizens have any rights in that realm or expectations of accountability.
In other words, in the virtual world it created — regardless of how extensively and aggressively it partners with other companies to make Facebook membership a prerequisite to accessing goods and services offered by hundreds of companies — Facebook is in charge, period.
I've read stories about Facebook users futility fighting decisions to ban posts that should enjoy free speech protections — from breastfeeding photos and diagrams of female reproductive systems to radical political speech — while allowing content that is racist or misogynist, and their difficulties in getting the company to explain its decisions.

Five Fabulous Gluten-Free Recipes!
Posted By Heather On August 6, 2009 @ 8:52 pm In Recipes | 3 Comments
This month, five of us gluten-free bloggers tried some great-looking recipes by other gluten-free bloggers. Then, of course, we blogged about them. This is also known as Adopt A Gluten-Free Blogger – July edition [3]. Sea at Book of Yum [4] organizes the web event [5] and usually hosts it, but I'm filling in for July. Here are the pictures to tempt you:
Here are the links to find the recipes and reviews.

Celiac Family's post about trying this wonderful recipe. Perfect for brunch or snacking anytime!
Recipe by Elana at Elana's Pantry [13].
Amy at Simply Sugar and Gluten Free [8] tried the recipe with wonderful results: "…the flavor was incredible. Moist, tender, and perfectly baked…"
Recipe by Becky at Radish Boy [14].
Andrea at Plum for the Picking [9] ended up with cherry-stained fingers, but said the tart was really good. She's even thinking of making variations of it in the future. We'll be anxious to see those!
Recipe by Gina at The Gluten-Free Gourmand [15].
Cinde at Gluten Free Taste of Home [10] said this was the "most flavorful gluten free Italian comfort food [she had] ever tasted."

I've used it with my 2011 Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion, Canon 5D MKIII and 7 lenses. Worked pretty well on a whole. The only issues I had were the camera and laptop losing connectivity a couple of times which was easily resolved by shutting down the software and resetting the connection to the camera. Other than that, it worked great.

ROEMERVILLE, TEXAS. Roemerville was a rural school community on State Highway 238 six miles northeast of Seadrift in Calhoun County. The site was probably named for Dr. John Roemer, an early German settler who was one of the founders of the nearby Long Mott community. During the 1935–36 school year the Roemerville School reported one teacher and thirty white students. In 1936 the community included the school and several scattered dwellings, but by 1955 the school had been consolidated into the county system, and its students were bused to schools in larger towns nearby. In 1973 the old schoolhouse was still standing, surrounded by several scattered dwellings. No traces of the community were shown on county highway maps in 2000.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear has topped
$10 million in contributions for his re-election campaign, and
still has more than enough in the bank to keep TV ads running
around the clock through Nov. 8.
A report filed Tuesday with the Kentucky Registry of Election
Finance shows that he banked another $517,000 over the past two
weeks. His Republican challenger, state Senate President David
Williams, hasn't yet reported his October fundraising total.
Independent candidate Gatewood Galbraith filed a report showing
he raised just more than $3,500 during the roughly two-week period.
Previous reports have shown money flooding into Beshear's
campaign, while Williams and Galbraith have struggled to raise cash
in what has become a lopsided fundraising contest.
Some outside groups, funded largely by Williams' father-in-law,
have run TV ads promoting the GOP challenger over Beshear.
Galbraith has had no such help.
Polls showing Beshear with a 30 percentage point lead over his
nearest competitor have helped bolster fundraising. Campaign
manager Bill Hyers said some 1,100 people contributed to Beshear
between Oct. 8 and Oct. 24.
"The continued outpouring of support from citizens from across
the commonwealth is truly gratifying," Hyers said in a statement
Tuesday. "While our opponent relies on his father-in-law to
support his campaign through misleading and false television
advertisements, we are pleased to have the support of hard-working
Kentuckians who support Gov. Beshear's efforts to create jobs in
every corner of the state."
The latest report showed the Beshear campaign has spent more
than $1 million over the past two weeks, but still has nearly
$600,000 in the bank.
The Williams campaign didn't have an immediate comment. But
Galbraith offered sharp criticism, charging that Beshear doesn't
have a record worthy of a second term.
"They can't justify his re-election, so they're going to have
to buy it," Galbraith said. "It really doesn't make any
difference how much money Steve Beshear raises if the citizen's
vote is not for sale."
Williams, the long-time state Senate president, reported earlier
this month that he had raised $1 million for his campaign since
May, and Galbraith, a Lexington attorney, had collected $166,000.
Some outside Republican political groups funded largely by
Williams' father-in-law, Russell Springs businessman Terry
Stephens, have gotten involved by spending more than $2 million to
run attack ads against Beshear. Stephens gave nearly $1.4 million
to Restoring America, a Republican political group. Earlier in the
year, he gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Association,
which ran ads supporting Williams over Beshear.
All of Kentucky's candidates for statewide office have to file
period financial disclosure reports, as do political groups that
raise and spend money in the state.

Southern Minnesota Association for Creation, Inc.
"Contending for the truth of the Biblical account of creation"
Flood Film Project
by Bryce Gaudian, Director of SMAC
I received a fascinating call New Year's Eve from Jim Brenneman of Warsaw, Indiana. He had been given my name by Dr. Donald DeYoung. We visited for over an hour on the phone. He is a brother in the Lord, and a young earth creationist with a passion to produce a world-class quality action drama film on Noah's Flood that is both Biblically and scientifically sound, reflecting the universal flooding (Genesis 6-9) of a young earth in accord with Exodus 20:11. Jim's desire is to bring together Bible-believing Christians from around the world, all united by the desire to expound and defend the truth of the universal flood and to oppose outdated evolutionary theories of geology and biology.
I would like to be an advocate for this God-honoring project and ask you to prayerfully consider coming onboard (no pun intended)! I'm exceedingly impressed by Jim Brenneman, and I believe he has the energy and wherewithal (with God's continual ever-present aid) to bring this project to completion. His background in marketing, creativity and quality work sounds exemplary.
Can a project of this magnitude ever become a reality?? I believe it can. Can creationist organizations and individuals come together as a united team to help in a project of this immensity?? I believe they can.
A poor quality film would be injurious to the Creationist cause, therefore, the production will be of premier quality and professionalism. The general direction of the film will be to portray in an action drama film the geological aspects of the flood, creationist paleontology, sound Ark logistics, and other matters of science. This film will be an ideal vehicle for explaining Creation Science and Catastrophism to children, as well as to many misinformed adults. There is in the subject of the Flood a great opportunity for stunning special effects. These cinematic artists' conceptions will also serve to teach against evolutionary uniformitarianism and in its place present the Bible's message of Creation and Catastrophe. There will flow throughout, moral and evangelistic messages.
I am asking you to please check out the Flood Film Project web-site and if you are so lead, to make contact with Jim Brenneman and join the team in some capacity. Here is the information:

While the sections of the Appalachian Trail in states like North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Maine get all of the glory, this 75-mile stretch of trail in northern Georgia to Dick's Creek Gap is just as spectacular. You'll cross through forests of mountain laurel and rhododendron, climb grassy peaks straight out of The Sound of Music, and drop into remote, oak-shaded hollows. The Georgia Appalachian Trail Club, which maintains this length of trail, can point you in the right direction.

VIDEO: Sony gives a glimpse of the future with rollable OLED
Sony has been showing off its incredible 80μm-thick flexible OLED display which is so futuristic that even Marty McFly hasn't seen one before.
The display uses organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with an original organic semiconductor material that has eight times the current modulation of conventional OTFTs.
Sony managed to do this by combining this OTFT technology with the latest advancements in OLEDs to produce the 4.1-inch, 121 ppi, completely rollable display. It uses a super-thin 20μm-thick flexible substrate and soft organic insulators for the integration circuit.
The result is what Sony describes as "the world's first OLED panel which is capable of reproducing moving images while being repeatedly rolled-up". To prove the point Sony has released a video, which shows the display being continuously rolled around a cylinder with a radius of 4mm and then stretched out again.
Sony is planning to demonstrate more of this tech at the Society for Information Display conference, which is currently under way in Seattle. We'll be sure to let you know if it demos anything even half as cool as this.

MOZART: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major; Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat Major – Lars Vogt, p./ Frankfurt Radio Sym. Orch./ Paavo Jarvi – Cavi-Music
Published on December 24, 2013
MOZART: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467; Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat Major, K. 595 – Lars Vogt, piano/ Frankfurt Radio Sym. Orch./ Paavo Jarvi – Cavi-Music 8553257, 57:52 [Distr. by Allegro] (9/13/13) **** :
Originally recorded in 2007 (K. 595) and 2008 (K. 467), these two Mozart concerto masterpieces convey what pianist Lars Vogt (b. 1970) calls "an incredible soulfulness. . .Each one is a stroke of genius, going straight to the heart." The comparatively luxurious scoring of the 1785 C Major Concerto – featuring trumpets and tympani – contrasts with the more sober 1791 B-flat Major Concerto, tinged as it is, without those trumpets and drums, by a spirit of valediction.
The C Major communicates a "cheerful, open-hearted joy" from beginning to last, including its now iconic F Major second movement, made visually immortal by the 1967 film Elvira Madigan, which featured the soulful playing of Geza Anda. Besides the sheer gusto and fluent, digital panache that Vogt brings to the majestic allegro maestoso first movement, we can feel a palpable urge to the contours of the sonata-form, especially as move from the colorful development back to the recapitulation and Vogt's own cadenza, rife with passing counterpoints. The lyrical Andante receives a pulsating, operatic floatation effect, the solo's moving from high C to a low A. The interplay of Frankfurt woodwinds, strings, horns, and Vogt's keyboard produces a sterling intimacy and profound serenity, interrupted only for a moment with an excursion into A-flat Major. The unbuttoned buffa of the finale – which occasionally likes to explode all "profound" pretensions – achieves a rollicking, almost breathles ferocity, the very spirit of Mozart's great admirer Rossini.
The elements of what Vogt calls "crying while laughing" infiltrates the B-flat Major Concerto, a moment in music astonishing in its intimate heroics. Much of this music's color and affect sympathize with the composer's G Minor Symphony. The sun often hides behind a minor-key cloud, as when the piano, oboe, and bassoon exchange colors in the development section of the opening Allegro, only for the series of Mannheim scales to assume an air of transcendent spirituality. The real secret of the work lies in its clarity or sincere expression, a directness whose few embellishments seem to increase the imminent tragedy of life and the frailty of all beauty in the world. Occasionally, we hear an echo of Mozart's aria from The Abduction from the Seraglio, Osmin's "O wie will ich triumphieren," but bereft of all malice.
The heart of the Concerto, its E-flat Major Larghetto, gives to the keyboard few flourishes and long melodic lines, but rather a measured arioso that accentuates virtually every distinct note. If this music reflects our troubled world, in occurs only in the passing G-flat episode, since otherwise this music exists in a childlike sphere detached from all mortal coils. Mozart scholar Alfred Einstein always claimed that it is in this work's last movement Rondo that Mozart states his farewell to life, and not in the Requiem. Mozart artfully combines song-form and variation in an intricate blend to which Vogt's passionate keyboard part lends an air of mournful urgency. "Noble simplicity" and "calm grandeur" remain the oft-invoked epithets for this music, almost a sonic realization of the sentiment from Isaiah that "a child shall lead them." The cadenza of the last movement, chaste yet rife with understated bravura from Vogt, adds a touch of that restrained energy that reminds us how far Mozart's passions allowed themselves to be bound by the strictures of good form and exquisite taste.

Clad in a pink checked shirt with salmon-colored high-water pants held up by matching suspenders (and generous padding), Dean Holt can be described only as adorable as the eponymous porcine hero in the Children's Theatre Company's production of "Babe: The Sheep-Pig."
Sporting a thin tuft of unruly pink hair on his bald pate and wearing a crooked, perpetual, please-love-me smile, Holt snuffles and oinks around the stage with a gait somewhere between a canter and a waddle. It's an endearing and beautiful performance inside and out, delivering the childlike innocence of someone who hasn't yet learned the meaning of the word "impossible."
Holt's winning performance drives director Peter Brosius' cheery, effervescent staging of a script that leans more on Dick King Smith's 1983 book than the better-known 1995 movie. Working under the premise that less is more (a philosophy not often seen on CTC's main stage), Brosius and company offer a thoroughly charming tale loaded with fine performances.
Reed Sigmund plays Farmer Hogget, a plainspoken man of the land who decides that Babe just might have what it takes to become a champion sheepherder. That decision suggests either a terrific sense of whimsy or an unbelievable sense of boredom on the part of the character, which in turn provides plenty of opportunity for an actor to mine the role for laughs.
A gifted comic performer, Sigmund easily could have pursued this route. But he and Brosius instead opt for a low-key approach, essentially playing the bemused straight man reacting to all the antics around him.
Mo Perry, making her debut on the CTC stage, adds another layer of warmth and wisdom, playing the kind-hearted mother-dog Fly, who adopts Babe and teaches him her herding secrets. If Perry occasionally veers into over-earnestness, she quickly snaps back with a feisty growl.
Elizabeth Griffith is pleasantly blowsy as Farmer Hogget's cheery wife — who, over the course of the show, evolves from seeing Babe as a Christmas entree to inviting him into the house to watch the telly. And Camryn Reynolds is tender and fine as the aged sheep Ma.
A tip of the hat, too, goes to the hard-working actors of the show's ensemble, who play everything from hyperactive puppies and strutting roosters to self-important turkeys and a comic flock of ducks.
If there's a flaw in the show, it's in its physical scale: The scenic design of Eric J. Van Wyk is winsome and simple, not much more than a suggestion of a fenced-in pasture and a few hay bales. The design serves the show well, but it seems somewhat undersized on CTC's main stage. Too, though the 10-member cast can hardly be called undersized, the double- and triple-casting of minor roles — though plenty of fun — occasionally creates the sense of under-population.
The name recognition from the movie was almost certainly a factor in artistic director Brosius' decision to select "Babe" in a CTC season whose theme seems to be "Ticket Sales." But his enchantingly successful production proves that populism needn't necessarily be piffle.
What: "Babe: The Sheep Pig"
When: Through Feb. 27

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Childrens Museum Of La Crosse Inc, La Crosse, WI, USA
My son Loves the children's museum in La Crosse. He can spend 2 or more hours there every week if we could find the time to go. In fact he could probably go more than once a week. When we first were deciding whether or not to buy a membership I wasn't sure there was enough to hold his attention time and time again, but I was wrong. We recently went to another museum on our Passport level membership and it included 5 museums in one. I must say it made me see our children's museum in a whole different light. It was located in a city bigger than La Crosse and it paled in comparison. Not that there weren't things that were impressive in some of the museums but the children's museum was nothing compared to what we have here at the museum in La Crosse. I just wanted to say thanks to the Children's Museum in La Crosse because I now see how lucky we are to have such a great place to spend an afternoon. Thanks for all the exhibits and the staff who are so friendly and work so hard to keep the place clean and running. Thank you.

Hey good luck Mark. I am sure you will do great now you are ready to give it another go.
Thank You and good luck with your target as well .....
Hi Mark,
Well done on losing the weight first time around and at least you have not put it all back on.
Losing 5 stone in under 3 months seems exceptionally quick. I find I tend to put back weight more quickly when I lose it more quickly. Just wondered if you had though of trying a more long term sustainable diet such as slimming world or weightwatchers? Your losses would be slower, but it's easier to keep on the straight and narrow.
Of course different things suit different people :-) I know I couldn't last more than a few days on a meal replacement type plan. After a couple of days I would be at Pizza Hut or Krsipy Kremes filling my face! Mind you, on your diet I would have lost about 30 pounds by now instead of my paltry 11
Hi Pony. I am an inpatient person by nature, also it is either all or nothing for me, like when I stopped smoking 10 years ago, I just stopped and bit the bullet. Did not cut down first or wear patches etc. Same with other diets, I prefer to have nothing than cut down. I messed up last time though , putting a stone on a year is rubbish. When I come off this Lipotrim diet at the end of September I should be near the 13stone mark. Ideally I would like to be 12 stone so I am going to join our local weightwatchers to not only get to 12 stone but probably maintain through that programme as well. You have lost 11lb though since you started ? You have to be happy with that, all said and done your way is the best way, without doubt, everyone tells me that , but like I say I am an inpatient so and so. I suppose its each to their own and so far so good for both of us. Must admit a KFC right now, even at 7am would be nice ! lol
Hi Mark,
I know what you mean about the cold turkey. I must admit I can't be one of these people who just have a taste of chocolate. I can't have it at all when I'm dieting as a taste is the road to ruin! Just cutting it out is the way for me.
Joining WW sounds like a plan, especially if you get a decent amount off with lipotrim first though. Just make sure you still have weight to loose by the time you join though as they won't let you join if you are too slim ;-)
I'm trying a mega low calorie day today as I'm off to a festival next weekend ...call it damage limitation!
Lol Me and the word "slim" are not words often used together ! .... But I know what you mean . When I get to 13 stone I will be technically over weight , although I will be jumping around in excitement like a child. So another stone on WW should just about do it. Don't think I have been 12 stone since I was 17!
Have a great time at the festival.

Along with the rises in productivity made possible by mobile devices come increases in risks to corporate security.
"Securing information on mobile [handheld] devices is important because there's a big vulnerability with information that enterprises or individuals want to keep private," said Robert Egner, VP of product management and global marketing at Pointsec, a company that provides mobile data protection solutions.
"In the case of technology companies, they are focused on protecting their competitive advantage," Egner said. "That kind of sensitive information sometimes finds its way onto handheld devices or notebooks."
Sensitive corporate data is increasingly finding its way onto handheld devices that are lost or stolen--or even retired and sold on eBay. A survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute found that 81 percent of the corporate IT departments polled had lost or been robbed of a laptop or portable storage device. And 60 percent of those devices contained unprotected sensitive or confidential information.
These data losses can be notoriously costly. A survey from Symantec found that the average laptop contains data worth about $972,000. And a study released last fall by the Ponemon Institute said data breaches cost companies an average of $182 per compromised record, which represents a 31 percent increase over 2005.
"The burdens companies must bear as a result of a data breach are significant, making a strong case for more strategic investments in preventative measures such as encryption and data loss prevention," said Larry Ponemon, the institute's chairman and founder. "Tough laws and intense public scrutiny mean the consequences of poor security are steep--and growing steeper for companies entrusted with managing stores of data."
Managing the "stores" of data can be particularly difficult for companies when employees use their personal handheld devices, Pointsec's Egner said. Corporations, he explained, need to develop ways to protect sensitive data on employees' personal devices.
Companies must also readjust their data protection efforts. Egner said information stored on handheld devices is more vulnerable than the data stored on a corporate network. "There's been so much interest on network-born attacks, but in about half of those cases, the network was attacked with credentials picked up from lost or stolen computers," he noted.
Pointsec recently unveiled a data protection solution that covers USB slots and removable plug-and-play devices the connect to computers or handheld gadgets. The Pointsec Device Protector combines USB port and storage device management from Reflex Magnetics' DiskNet Pro solution with media encryption to protect both removable storage media and email in transit by providing automatic real-time encryption.
The Device Protector prevents or limits data transfers to USB drives, Bluetooth smartphones, digital cameras or music players through a configurable security policy and content filtering.
"While organizations of all sizes are scrambling to protect their sensitive information through security solutions designed for networks, port security is one avenue of data loss at the endpoint that many IT managers are just now becoming aware of through recently reported data breaches," said Marty Leamy, president of Pointsec Mobile Technologies, Americas. "The risk of data loss through unprotected ports and plug-and-play storage devices is a serious concern among all organizations in possession of confidential data. Once this sensitive information is copied through a port to a storage device--whether it is by a malicious insider or a well-meaning insider who is unaware of the security policy--it becomes vulnerable to loss, theft and unauthorized use."

Heroes of Honor, created in Singapore by development studio Nonstop Games, has just hit a milestone. The real-time strategy and city management game launched in January for iOS devices only, but is now available on Facebook. It has also had an update since, and is now called Heroes of Honor: War of Kings.
(See: Heroes of Honor review: real-time strategy and city management)
Gameplay between Heroes of Honor on Facebook and mobile is fully synchronized, meaning that any updates you make to your city on Facebook will be reflected when you boot the game up on your phone. The only kink in this otherwise-convenient arrangement is that there will be no sharing of gems across platforms, due to both Facebook and Apple's terms of service. Whatever gems you buy on mobile must be spent on the same mobile device.
To celebrate Heroes of Honor's Facebook launch, Nonstop games will be giving out one special promo code per day for the next five days, which will award users who redeem them with five ritual tokens and 20 gems. Each promo code will be available for just 24 hours, and you'll be able to find them daily on the Heroes of Honor Facebook page.
Have fun!

Concentration in Horticultural Studies [1]
The Concentration in Horticultural Studies is concerned with the small scale details of building and maintaining sustainable landscapes, and allows environmentally-aware students to explore different aspects of the rapidly expanding 'green industry'.
The Horticultural Studies concentration brings together scientific knowledge of plants, soils, and ecology with the theoretical and practical aspects of landscape design, construction technology and business management. Although focusing on the small-scale details of the landscape, students in this field recognize the links between plants and humankind, and the role that plants play in contributing to our lives and to creating sustainable communities.
This field requires a theoretical and practical knowledge in these areas:
- Soils: their properties and their organic inhabitants, requirements for sound plant growth, methods of soil modification to maximize healthy plant growth, and plant communities that develop on different types of soils.
- The life of plants: environmental factors that encourage or inhibit plant growth, familiarity with the ecological principles that support organisms (both plants and animals), understanding of plants within their native habitats and communities, and knowledge of current research and the concepts of sustainability.
- Relationships between plants and humans: plants for food and utility, horticulture and the cultivation of plants, the principles of designing the layouts of small properties, and the benefits of people-plant relationships.
- Principles of landscape construction: techniques in the construction and maintenance of landscapes, control of storm water run-off and erosion, economics between various construction and management systems, and reading and creating construction drawings.
- Business management: specific fields within the 'green industry', knowledge of the principles of estimating and accounting for small businesses, and awareness of legal responsibilities, insurances and other business responsibilities.
Students must take a total of 9 classes in their area of concentration.
In the Horticultural Studies concentration two specific concentration classes are required:
- SusComm 335 Plants in the Landscape (fall semester)
- LandArch 294A Construction Materials (spring semester)
In addition to the two classes listed above, students in the Horticultural Studies concentration must take an additional 7 concentration classes.
Additional Horticultural Studies concentration courses vary from semester to semester.
Horticultural Studies Concentration Courses:
Spring 2015 [2] Summer 2015 [3] Fall 2015 [4]

The 2010 Census found that one out of 50 Georgians described themselves as mixed-race, a notable increase from 2000.
Georgia was one of nine states where the number of residents who claimed at least two races increased by at least 70 percent between the last two national population counts.
The U.S. Census Bureau detailed the findings Thursday.
In 2010, 207,489 Georgia residents claimed multiple races. That's an 82 percent increase over the 114,188 in 2000. The 2010 group was 2.1 percent of Georgia's total population. It was 1.4 percent in 2000.
The 2010 census included six race categories.
Georgia's mixed-race growth far outpaced the national figures.
More than 9 million Americans claimed at least two races in 2010. That was up about a third from the 6.8 million in 2000.

Houston James, 13, and Luke Eccleton, 11, show off the chukars caught on a hunting trip. Chukars are a type of partridge. / Patrick Bevier/Special to the Free Press
Nick Metropoulos emerges from a thicket of mixed brush and pine. The scent of wet dog follows and after a little lag, the source of the aroma appears; a short-legged English cocker spaniel is hopping the high brush, a little furry dolphin on a rolling landscape sea.
Nick, 17, looks like a normal teenager, but he has a secret that increases the odds he will lead a happy life, or at the very least, avoid Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which afflicts the sun-deprived.
Until recently, medicine held fewer answers for this special brand of winter blues than a voodoo blog.
Long before the medical community weighed in, I suffered those blues and turned to Grandma for advice. The beliefs of my immigrant grandparents dictated my early life. The moon will steal your soul. No sleeping with the shade open under a full moon. The television will rot your brain. I had no television, just books.
Thanks to another bit of insight, upon the bitter January day of my birth, I was immediately thrust outdoors; for everyone also knew the cold will make the child strong. Every day thereafter, my tiny infant body was bundled in wool and exposed to the winds and weather for at least an hour. As I got older and moped, the edict was, "Go outdoors. You will be happy."
Turns out those old-school relatives were correct. Years later, science would determine that time spent outdoors is one of the most effective ways to combat winter depression.
If you're an outdoor explorer, you may have already acquired this morsel of wilderness wisdom.
Nick and his father, Gary Metropoulos, are guides at Andy's Acres near Hillsdale, a Michigan centennial family farm owned by the Anderson family for four generations.
They're helping the James clan of Huron Township perpetuate a legacy of bird hunting. Brothers Craig and Scott James share the hunt with their sons Houston, 13, and Caleb, 25. Cousins Jim and Don Austin, lifelong friend Herb Eccleton, and his son, Luke, 11, are part of the tribe, too.
They're pursuing chukar, or red-legged partridge, a bird hunted in the ancient Middle East, throughout the British Isles and today in America.
When the hunters arrive, they're eager for action after a hearty breakfast at A Cracker Barrel restaurant. They're there for fun.
The group is unaware that many ingredients psychiatrists and doctors say are necessary for happiness have been combined like a perfect savory stew into their bird hunt. The physical, cognitive and social activity from their inter-generational interactions has been shown to improve health for aging populations and learning in children.
Walking at a medium pace, and executing perfect teamwork, kids and mentors anticipate as the dogs work the brush up to 25 yards out. A brown flash of feathers rockets by and shots ring. Meanwhile, cortisol and endorphins rush through the bodies of the hunters as one of them takes down a reckless chukar. These chemicals reduce stress levels.
The dog retrieves the bird to an exuberant boy. Thanks to that dog, the kids' risk of developing asthma may be diminished; many new studies suggest early exposure to animals makes children less likely to acquire allergies. Pets also aid in development of social skills.
To the kids and the dogs, though, it's just another day in the field.
Though the sun isn't shining, everyone's level of Vitamin D is rising, helping protect the adventurers from future bone loss and winter colds. The exercise for the older generation is particularly beneficial, as now science tells us that exercise outperforms puzzles in preventing brain shrinkage.
For the kids, the day's pursuit even enhances their chances of success at school, according to a University of Michigan study. Psychology researchers Marc Berman, John Jonides and Stephen Kaplan discovered memory performance and attention spans improve by 20% after people spend a mere hour interacting with nature.
If you have SAD, try increasing your time outdoors. Even if you don't suffer with the disorder, the benefits of time spent in nature are worth a trip outside.
For the beginner interested in obtaining an organic free-range meal, the easiest route is to try bird hunting. Bird hunting is social, relaxed and fun and not everyone even has to carry a gun. The resulting meal is -- to coin a word from my daughter -- "gour-mazing."
You really don't need to be an expert for this bird venture. You'll learn along the way. There are so many hunting preserves around Michigan; odds are you live within 1 or 2 hours of one. If you combine resources, the prices are quite affordable.
So beat the blues and get outdoors. Listen to science. Grandma said it first, though, and for the most part she was right. Although I can't vouch for that part about the soul, I still refuse to sleep in the direct moonlight.

Two months ago, I wrote about the plight of a private, Tocquevillian-style civil association in the small town of Orcutt, California. That group, the Old Town Orcutt Revitalization Association (OTORA), has raised $60,000 in private donations to build a flagpole — from which the American flag would fly — encircled by a memorial to the U.S. armed forces. The flagpole and monument would be located between a highway exit and an adjacent park-and-ride lot, at the entrance to the community's Old Town section. But the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) refused to grant approval for the project. Finally, citing a 9th Circuit Court ruling, CalTrans declared that hanging an American flag on public land constitutes an impermissible act of "public expression."
Steve LeBard, who has spearheaded OTORA's effort, has continued to make his case to the California legislature and to CalTrans directly, aided by TV coverage from Fox News. A bill to overturn CalTrans's ruling stalled in the California legislature, but a process has now been initiated whereby the state would sell the small patch of land in question to the county of Santa Barbara, which hopefully would be more accommodating. (The process is expected to take four months, and OTORA would write the check on behalf of the county.)
Meanwhile, CalTrans has agreed to let OTORA put up a flagpole — not quite where it wanted, and not in connection with a memorial to the armed forces, but rather in the middle of a sidewalk near the memorial's intended site. CalTrans's determination was made in response to LeBard's insistence that California law requires nothing less: Longstanding California law declares, "The Flag of the United States of America and the Flag of the State of California may be displayed on a sidewalk located in or abutting on a state highway situated within a city…."
So at 9:00 a.m. on the 4th of July, an American flag will be raised at the entrance to Old Town Orcutt.
Because OTORA has not yet received permission to build the memorial to the armed forces, or to build the flagpole where it wants to build it, the flag will be hung atop a temporary pole — one that was used at an Orcutt schoolhouse and which has been donated privately. LeBard has since refurbished the pole, which is 30 feet high and made of wood. Old Glory will hang atop it, waving proudly on Independence Day.
But one could hardly say that CalTrans has been accommodating. CalTrans told OTORA it could not place the flagpole 10 feet off of the sidewalk, leaving space for the armed forces memorial; could not expand the sidewalk enough to accommodate the memorial; and could not build a new, short sidewalk off of the main sidewalk, with the new sidewalk leading to the flagpole and memorial. CalTrans told OTORA it must, however, expand the sidewalk slightly — to accommodate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
CalTrans also won't provide access to the park-and-ride's existing power feed to light the flag — even at OTORA's expense — so the flag will have to be raised every day and taken down every night. CalTrans would, however, "gladly consider allowing" OTORA to provide its own electrical feed, so long as it complies with a long list of regulations that CalTrans outlines.
About 175 Independence Days ago, Alexis de Tocqueville foresaw the potential dangers of ever-increasing centralized power. He described the effects of such soft despotism as follows:
"[A]fter taking each individual by turns in its powerful hands and kneading him as it likes, the sovereign extends its arms over society as a whole; it covers its surface with a network of small, complicated, painstaking, uniform rules through which the most original minds and the most vigorous souls cannot clear a way to surpass the crowd; it does not break wills, but it softens them, bends them, and directs them; it rarely forces one to act, but it constantly opposes itself to one's acting; it does not destroy, it prevents things from being born; it does not tyrannize, it hinders, compromises, enervates, extinguishes, dazes, and finally reduces each nation to being nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd."
In simpler language expressing a similar notion, LeBard asks today, "How many people have good ideas that would benefit the community, and they run into so many roadblocks, keep getting beaten down by the bureaucracy, that they just give up?"
On the 235th anniversary of American independence, it's appropriate to celebrate the efforts of citizens like LeBard, and of associations of citizens ranging from OTORA to the Tea Party. There have been signs over the past couple of years that the tentacles of the encroaching administrative state might be able to be beaten back, as the citizenry becomes more attuned to the blessings of liberty. For this we can be thankful, as we watch the fireworks and celebrate the day.
In the small town of Orcutt, California, a private association has raised donations to erect a flagpole and monument between a highway exit and a park-and-ride lot, at the entrance to the community's Old Town section.

Use multiple Google Talk accounts at the same time with Digsby
Posted to: IM/Chat/Talk
Many of us maintain more than one Google accounts for different purposes. You could easily open 2 Gmail accounts in 2 different browsers and use them but how to open 2 or more Google Talk instances?
You might say the you can utilize the chat feature of Gmail or use the Google Talk Gadget in separate browsers, but that may not be as convenient as using Google Talk.
Sometime back Mark wrote a post on how to open up multiple instances of Google Talk. There is one more way to do it and thats a pretty simple way actually. You just need to download and install the multi-protocol IM client called Digsby and start using it.
It will allow you to add more than one, in fact even upto 4 to 5 Google Talk accounts easily. (If at all you use more than two )
Digsby is an awesome IM client which I have been using since a few days. It has some amazing features like the ability to add different social networks, different email accounts (yes, you could also add different gmail accounts to it ) and working on your emails right from the IM client.
Use it to experience it.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (AP) - A group of students from Northern
Kentucky University is trying to develop a proposal to bring
permanent housing to nearly 500 people in earthquake-shattered
The group, in a construction management class, is working with
Harry Lyness, who sits on the board for Hearts and Hands for Haiti,
a nonprofit that has operated for more than 25 years delivering
relief to the people of Haiti with new construction projects.
The group on May 3 will present its proposal, which would
provide housing for approximately $400 per person.

Tournament veterans USA got their 14th FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign off to a strong start, seeing off potentially their toughest group challengers Czech Republic, with a 3-0 victory at Estadio Torreon. The Americans took an advantage almost immediately through Alejandro Guido, while Esteban Rodriguez and Alfred Koroma each found the back of the net in the second half.
The Americans came out of the gate assuming control, giving the Czechs little opportunity to settle into the match. Within five minutes Guido took advantage of an error from Patrik Svoboda, hammering home a powerful shot to give the US an early lead. Czech Republic began searching for an equaliser with defender Michael Lueftner the first to try his luck from a header.
As the first half wore on, the Czechs had a quick series of chances created by Svoboda, who worked his way into the United States' penalty area to slot a pass to Luca Julis. The forward's attempt, however, was parried away with difficulty by US goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh. Not willing to lose their lead after an onslaught of Czech attempts, Kellyn Acosta responded with a wayward shot of his own at the other end.
Unable to find another breakthrough before the interval, the United States again came out at the restart content to boss the match. Pelosi fired a powerful shot from outside the area that flew just over the bar within four minutes of the second half's start. The Americans then added a cushion to their lead as Paul Arriola passed to Rodriguez, who made no mistake.
Still looking for a goal of their own, the Czechs started to increase their offensive efforts only to be met by a stubborn US rearguard. Travnik notably hit a long-range shot in the 79th minute, but it was the Americans who finished their last-chance as substitute Koroma scored with a low-drive that went under goalkeeper Lukas Zima.
USA, who are now level on points with New Zealand, will meet Uzbekistan in their second group match in Monterrey on Wednesday 22 June. Czech Republic, on the other hand, perhaps have an even more difficult challenge ahead as they are scheduled to face the high-flying Kiwis.

Man's body found in snow on Indianapolis' east side
Cause of death not immediately known
INDIANAPOLIS - A man was found dead in the snow on Indianapolis' east side Friday morning.
Indianapolis police said the body was found at 20 Koweba Ln., which is just off Washington Street, just before 8 a.m. in a brushy area behind two businesses known to police as a homeless camp.
It wasn't immediately known what caused the man's death, but investigators said it appeared the body had been there for several days.
The victim's uncle, who police said is also homeless, told RTV6's Julie Pursley that he had come Friday morning to check on the victim and couldn't wake him up.. He believes the man froze to death.
The victim's uncle said he last saw the man alive on Sunday and that the victim had been in and out of shelters previously, but was hard-headed and wanted to live on the streets.
"The decedent was clothed, but was not wearing a coat," said Marion County Chief Deputy Coroner Alfie Ballew, in an emailed statement. "He was found inside of a tent, and no form of heat was found in the tent."
Others who had been staying at the homeless camp apparently left during the bitter cold after the winter storm, police said.
The Marion County Coroner's Office will conduct an autopsy Saturday to determine what caused the man's death.
Watch RTV6 and refresh this page for updates.

In an interview with US Weekly, the singer claimed he decided to part ways because, "It easily and quickly became a job. Very, very obligating… taxing… and tiring. I think I ran my course there." Green parted ways with the show, which is the most rated on NBC, amicably. Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will return to their posts with newcomers Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams.
