Dilbert creator Scott Adams thinks goals are for losers. You should seek out failure instead. Actually he believes you should have a system of continuous improvement that builds on any outcome, success or failure. Goals only have value when you succeed.
James Clear riffs on Adams by elaborating how you can set up and use systems to your benefit. He notes that goals aren't useless, but that they should be used in strategic planning. Most of your focus and effort should be put into your systems.
Belle Cooper adds habits to the mix, arguing that building tiny habits, such as putting on your running shoes every morning, can be the first bite of the proverbial elephant.
Pondering these writers I think the problem with goals is that they can blind you to outcomes you hadn't anticipated. Yeah, you don't get that hole-in-one you were hoping for, but maybe you had a nice walk instead.

April 11, 2013
LOS ANGELES - UCLA head men's basketball coach Steve Alford returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday, capping off a busy first week on the job that included a weekend at the NCAA Men's Final Four in Atlanta.
In the nine days since his official introduction to the UCLA community in Pauley Pavilion, Alford had time to meet with UCLA's returning players, assemble his coaching staff, attend the Final Four and meet with families of UCLA players who are from the Atlanta area.
"It's been a very busy time as I've coordinated this transition at UCLA," Alford said. "When I was on campus a week ago, I had the chance to meet with our entire team in the Pauley Pavilion locker room. That was a very exciting moment for me. I told them to continue to focus on their academics right now, and as we hit the ground running we will start to get into basketball. This is an important time for our program."
Alford flew from Los Angeles to Albuquerque the night of April 2 after his first full day on campus in Westwood. He departed for Atlanta on Thursday, and one of his first responsibilities was to assemble his coaching staff.
Joining Alford on the coaching staff this season will be Duane Broussard, Ed Schilling and David Grace. Broussard spent 10 years on staff at the University of New Mexico, including the last five seasons working with Alford. Schilling served as head coach the last four years at Park Tudor High School, a basketball powerhouse in Indianapolis. Grace arrives in Westwood after having coached at Oregon State the last five seasons. In addition, Tyus Edney will continue to serve as the program's Director of Operations.
While in Atlanta, Alford kept a busy schedule attending numerous events, including the semifinal games of the Final Four on Saturday at the Georgia Dome. He also attended the Legends of Hardwood Breakfast, where he was able to visit with Nan Wooden, daughter of legendary UCLA head coach John Wooden.
Now back in Westwood, Alford's immediate responsibilities include finalizing his support staff, meeting UCLA's returning players in a one-on-one format, and embarking on a very active recruiting period. Alford and his assistant coaches will continue working with all areas in support of the basketball program, including academics and strength and conditioning.
Alford and Athletic Director Dan Guerrero today addressed concerns about comments that Alford made in 2002, while he served as coach of the University of Iowa men's basketball team.

The Unity notifications (notify-osd) are very much useful and nice. But It seems I can't close them after I get notified. They get blurred when I hover mouse over them, but they don't close. Which is sometimes very annoying.
I Googled about the matter and it seems, there is no way to close them until now.
Can I at least control their notification display time? (If I can close them, that will be lot better). I think, It will be easy by changing some of their settings file.

Masahiro Sakurai, director of the Super Smash Bros. series, has revealed a brand new Kid Icarus: Uprising themed stage for Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. According to a report by Official Nintendo Magazine from Jan. 29, the Wii U and 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. 4 will have a new stage based on Kid Icarus: Uprising, which will have Palutena watching over the arena.
Though there are rumors of Palutena being a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4, Sakurai has yet to confirm her as a playable character, but she will make an appearance as a statue in this newly shown stage. Based on the opening stage found in Kid Icarus Uprising, this new stage shows the Coliseum in the background with a Goddess of Light, Palutena statue in the foreground. You can read Sakurai's description of the new stage below:
You can find this statue of the Goddess of Light in one of the stages. She's watching over the arena.
Masahiro Sakurai previously made mention of having handheld titles highlighted in the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. 4, meanwhile the Wii U edition would have home console games. With a Kid Icarus: Uprising stage present in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. 4, it has sparked some speculation as to whether an HD remake of Uprising could come to Wii U.
Of course, it could just be Sakurai making reference to his previous title.
Super Smash Bros. 4 is scheduled for a 2014 release on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

pimo:Tag vs nao:Tag
Tomás Vírseda <kaskaras@...>
Hi, I'm confused about pimo:Tag and nao:Tag classes described in their respective ontology. Which is the difference between these two clases? I'm reading the ontologies documentation but I can't still figure out how they should be used. I'm developing a tagging system in a application and I would like to use Nepomuk. About pimo:Tag description: "Tags in the context of PIMO. A marker class for Things that are used to categorize documents (or other things). Tags must be a kind of Thing and must have a unique label. Documents should not be Tags by default." About nao:Tag description: "This class is useful for modelling conventional tagging practices. The user can tag resources in conventional ways, automatically creating an instance of this tag, which is then related to the annotated resource via the nao:hasTag property. For more on tagging as annotation see Section 2.3.". I've read this section and the explanation is very convincing. Thanks in advance. Kind regards -- Tomás Vírseda

Sample Chapter
A Renunciate Order for the New Age
A Breakthrough in the Evolution of Consciousness
by Swami Kriyananda
Chapter One: My Intention
My intention in these pages is to propose a new model of renunciation for this age of energy. Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, my paramguru (gurus guru), described it as such, giving it its ancient Sanskrit name, Dwapara. Having explained this matter already in several of my other writings (notably in Religion in the New Age), Id rather proceed here at once to my main subject: renunciation in this age of energy.
The monastic order of swamis in India was founded, or rather reorganized, many centuries ago by the first, or adi, Swami Shankara. The age in which he lived was known as Kali, or dark (literally, black) Yuga (age). It was far more materialistic than the age in which we live today. Shankara wrote rules and ideals for his renunciate order that were appropriate for those times, when society faced a different set of realities.
People werent nearly so mobile then as they are today. Travel, by present-day standards, was very slow. There were no motorized vehicles, no airplanes, no steamships. Peoples mental horizons, too, were narrowly circumscribed. To accomplish anything, ones self-definition, too, had to be narrow.
To find God, or to realize the Divine Presence in ones life, was almost impossible for those whose lives were not specifically devoted to spiritual progress. Those who lived in the world, who engaged in profit, and particularly who were married and had families, simply could not expand their horizons to include the divine search.
In the Christian world, renunciates sometimes went so far as to have themselves walled up in cells, with only little openings through which food was passed. To find God, renunciation of all distractions had, in fact, to be complete, for every attachment to the world needed to be shattered. In India, renunciates were told not to find enjoyment in anything, even in a beautiful sunset. They were expected to go by foot from place to place; never to stay in one place more than three days; and be careful not to regard anyone or any place as their own. Neti, netiliterally, Not this; not thatwas the common practice for the spiritual seeker. It was a way of rejecting everything in the manifested universe as false.
In both East and West it was commonindeed, the practice was honoredfor monks to beg their food from house to house; to accept only enough food for one meal; and to carry no money in their purse.
Jesus Christ was a renunciate in this sense. So also was St. Francis of Assisi. And so also have been many Christian saints, who have dedicated themselves to the imitation of Christ. St. Francis used to say that he was wedded to Lady Poverty. Paramhansa Yogananda, who spoke of St. Francis as his patron saint, said, I prefer the term, 'Lady Simplicity.' Sri Yoganandas view of renunciation was much more moderate than what was practiced in Kali Yuga. The old way had been right for those days, when mankinds awareness was much narrower. Kali Yuga was a time of rigid dogmas amounting to dogmatism, rigid social codes, and a rigid concept of matter itself, which was considered fixed, solid, and essentially immutable.
In modern times, matter has been found to consist of subtle energy vibrations. Peoples thinking is more fluid, more intuitive, more centered in principle than in outer forms.
The swami order (unlike Catholic monasticism) did not include women. Indeed, it would not have been appropriate for women in those days to roam the roads freely, as swamis were supposed to do.
Nowadays, although lip service is still given to the ancient practices, most swamis do in fact own a little money and even property. They are not criticized for doing so, provided they use their possessions for the benefit of others. Swamis no longer live in stark poverty. In keeping with our times, their renunciation is, outwardly speaking, more moderate. Inwardly, it is more focused on right attitudes. In this age, mental discipline is understood to be more important than outer, physical austerities.
At the same time, the need of the hour is to deepen this attitude. Freedom from anger, hate, pride, and desire is more important than renunciation of outer, material involvements.
Most of the ancient restrictions are viewed today in the light rather of sacred tradition than of actual reality. Many swamis, if they own property, emphasize the importance of inward non-attachment to it. Few renunciates today wander the highways, where theyd anyway face the risk of being run over by a motor vehicle, or asphyxiated by motor fumes. Most modern-day renunciates dwell in ashrams like their Western counterparts, who live in monasteries. When they travel, they usually go by car, train, ship, or airplane. Were they to beg their food from door to door, theyd very probably be treated as mere panhandlers
Chapter continues . . .

Roasted Baby Summer Squash with Feta and Thyme
(Makes 4 servings, recipe adapted from Superspark.)
about 2 lbs. baby summer squash, preferably a mixture of yellow squash and zucchini
(use 6 medium sized ones if you don't have access to baby squash)
2 T olive oil
1 T white balsamic vinegar
(I used white balsamic to not change the squash color, but regular balsamic would also work)
1/4 C fresh thyme leaves (or use 1-2 T dried thyme
1/2 C crumbled Feta (I used my favorite Feta)
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Wash squash well and dry. If you have baby squash, cut lengthwise into two pieces. If you have large squash, cut lengthwise into four pieces, then cut away the seed part of each piece and cut into pieces about 3-4 inches long.
When the squash is as tender as you like it, remove squash from oven, arrange on a serving dish, season with a little more fresh-ground black pepper if desired, and sprinkle with Feta (It won't need more salt because Feta cheese is salty.) Serve hot.

It likely will be weeks before state prosecutors decide whether or not Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston will face charges stemming from a sexual-battery report filed with Tallahassee police nearly a year ago.
"We had no knowledge of this until (Wednesday)," State Attorney Willie Meggs said Thursday about the 11-month-old case. "I have made our office available to do whatever needs to be done. We will try to come to the right and just resolution in this case, wherever it leads us."
RELATED: Heisman voters won't rush to judgment on Jameis Winston
Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman said a weeks-long time frame was "probably realistic" for the office to conduct its investigation of the allegations related to the Dec. 7, 2012 complaint filed with TPD. Cappleman said her office has been in communication with the complainant and her aunt, an attorney who is representing her in the case.
Cappleman said she did not know what caused TPD to refer the dormant case to the State Attorney's Office this week. The move followed media inquires that began last week. TPD spokesman Officer David Northway said he was unable to provide any further details regarding the active, ongoing investigation. Cappleman said she was told by TPD officials they delayed referring the case because the complainant did not want to pursue charges.
Winston's attorney, Tim Jansen of Tallahassee, told the Democrat Wednesday a TPD officer informed him in February that the case had been closed, and he too did not know why it was being re-opened. Jansen said Winston, who has yet not been interviewed by police or prosecutors, denies any wrongdoing in the case. His team status has not changed and he is expected to start in Saturday's football game against Syracuse University.
FSU star quarterback Jameis Winston is being investigated in a sexual-battery case filed with Tallahassee police in December 2012.
No charges have been filed against Winston and the investigation remains active. An attorney representing Winston denied the allegation. If Winston were to be charged with a felony, he would be immediately suspended from competition, according to Chapter 201 (A) of the code of conduct in Florida State's Intercollegiate Athletics Policies and Procedures.
The complaint was filed Dec. 7, 2012, according to TPD reports. The complainant is cooperating with the State Attorney's Office, said Officer David Northway, spokesman for TPD.
Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen said he is representing Winston.
The Tallahassee Police Department last year received a complaint of sexual battery against Florida State University star quarterback Jameis Winston. No charges have been filed against Winston. VPC
"This case has been going on for over a year. The case was basically closed and we're not sure why it's opened up," Jansen said. "We've been cooperating with the law-enforcement agencies and we're hoping to get a quick resolution in favor of Mr. Winston."
Jansen said he was told by Tallahassee police last February, about a week after they first contacted him, that the case had been closed. "I talked to the police officer," Jansen said. "He said the case had been closed. I don't know of any reason for reopening it."
He said he found out Monday that a media outlet had requested relevant police records last Friday.
The FSU Athletic Department issued a statement before Winston spoke to reporters Wednesday evening — a session restricted to questions about football only.
"There is no change in Jameis Winston's status," on the team, said the statement, attributed to Associate Athletic Director Rob Wilson.
"Because the investigation has not been closed by TPD, we cannot comment further at this time," the statement said. "We look forward to a speedy resolution of the issue. … Coach (Jimbo) Fisher and Jameis will be answering questions about football only until there is a resolution."
At the site of his weekly radio show Wednesday night, Fisher did not mention the allegations. But he said of Winston: "I think the world of the young man. Always have."
Jansen said he provided eyewitness affidavits Tuesday to the state attorney. Though he would not disclose the details of the affidavits, Jansen said, "They're witnesses who were present who can provide vital information."
Jansen said Winston has not been interviewed by police or prosecutors.
TPD released an incident report on Wednesday in response to a request from the Tallahassee Democrat for any and all reports related to Winston.
The report, which was heavily redacted, does not mention Winston by name. It says the complaint was received at 4:01 a.m. and that the sexual battery occurred earlier on the morning of Dec. 7, 2012, between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. The exact location was not listed, though the report says it happened at an apartment.
The incident report says the suspect is unknown. The narrative description from the investigating officer is redacted. The incident report describes the suspect as between 5 foot 9 and 5 foot 11 tall and 240 pounds. FSU athletics' media guide lists Winston as 6 foot 4 and 218 pounds.
The incident report indicated that evidence was collected from the complainant's body. Photos also were taken of the complainant. The victim told police she had been drinking alcohol the night of the incident.
Georgia Cappleman, chief assistant state attorney, said she can't discuss the case because it's an open investigation.
In an email sent Wednesday evening, Northway said TPD received several requests from local and national media about the complaint of a sexual battery.
"The case was assigned to the Special Victims Unit," Northway said. "TPD is continuing its investigation and has consulted with the State Attorney as to the direction of the case."
The Democrat on Wednesday morning requested police reports involving Winston. Throughout the day, TPD officials said they were redacting documents in response to the request. At 4:59 p.m., Northway sent an email to a Democrat reporter containing the incident report. Minutes later the police department released the incident report, without reference to Winston, to other media.
Winston, a redshirt freshman who has led Florida State to a 9-0 record and No. 2 national ranking, is considered a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy.
In his first season of college football, the Alabama native has completed 69.2 percent of his passes (166 of 240) for 2,661 yards, with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He is passing for 295.7 yards per game.
He has been profiled by virtually every national media outlet, including a piece this week in ESPN The Magazine.
The Tallahassee Democrat's Ira Schoffel and USA TODAY Sports' George Schroeder and Dan Wolken contributed to this report.

In The Books:
Senior Katie Jackels proved that the old adage ˇ?records are made to be brokenˇ± does hold some validity .?

She also became the first Wildcat to post over 30 digs in a match since 1988.? Through three matches, Jackels is averaging a team-best 5.27 digs per game.
Norton at the Net:
Sophomore Jacy Norton picked up where she left off last season with some consistent play during the first three matches.? So far this season, Norton is averaging 1.64 kills per game with a team-best .405 hitting percentage.? She is also third on the team with a 1.09 blocks per game mark.

Arizona will face 10 teams this season that participated in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.?

There is nothing more dangerous than getting a group of twenty-something year olds living together in an apartment complex, whom have just graduated from college and have landed their first sales jobs: this I can tell you from personal experience. Not only were we wanna-be-big shots, working jobs that required personal discipline; but also trouble makers with way too much time on our hands. The things we did for recreation could become outright scary.
Friday nights usually brought out the worst of us because this is when we really let it all hang out. The itinerary usually consisted of something like this: Happy hour for drinks at one of our apartments while waiting for everyone to show; going to Salerno's Pizza in Berwyn to lay down the base (liquor absorption technique which involves eating massive quantities of deep-dish Chicago style pizza); finding a club where we thought we had the best chance of meeting girls; and then going home drunk and alone to try and figure out what we did wrong.
By the time we would get back to the apartments (usually early morning), we would take out our frustration with some unconventional anger management activities. On this particular December evening the snow had started to fall in Chicago and the temperature was plummeting. We pulled into the parking lot of our high rise apartment building after a night of philandering and ran for cover, but before we could get to the front door my roommate Rich declared, "Watch this!" He picked up a big rock and hurled it into the gaggle of geese which inhabited the resident pond, taking one of them out.
"What did you do that for?" I asked.
"I'm tired of not hooking up."
"So you take it out on a goose ─ that makes a lot of sense; let's get inside before we get in trouble."
The four of us got into the elevator and immediately started to rumble ─ throwing each other into the sides of steel trap like we were cage fighting. A solid hockey body check stopped the elevator about half way up. "Now you did it" I told Tom. "You got us stuck in the elevator at two in the morning."
"Hee…Hee…Yeah," the big, lanky goof gurgled.
After pressing every button on the panel board we finally got the elevator moving and then unloaded on the eighth floor where Andy lived. "If anybody is going to throw up, do so before we get in," he said.
"Hey Andy, what to you have to drink in this dump," Rich asked him as he unlocked the door.
"We have some Old Style beer," Andy's roommate the 'Cat' replied.
"I'm not drinking that monkey piss. What else do you have?"
"I've got a bottle of Jack Daniels in the cupboard."
"That's what I'm talking about."
The 'Cat' pulled out the Jack and four shot glasses.
"You know I don't drink," Tom said. "Do you have any Nyquil?"
"Nyquil is alcohol, you idiot. It's in the medicine cabinet in my bathroom. Are you on that 'bunny dust' again?"
"What does hell does 'Hee…Hee…Yeah' mean?" I asked Rich.
"It means he's a retard."
Tom returned with his shot glass full of Nyquil, "Cheers," he said lifting the green Christmas-like fluid to his mouth.
We pounded our shots and then proceeded to the winter-sports recreational portion of the evening. We opened up the balcony window, which overlooked the pond and the 'Cat' pulled out his driver and a bag of shag balls. "Who's first," he asked. Andy grabbed the driver and teed one up on the artificial surface we had set up outside. The trick to the shot was to launch the ball between the metal rails that surrounded the balcony without striking it. Andy set up, took a might hack, and whiffed on the ball while nearly falling down. "You're a regular Tiger Woods," I said. "Give me that friggin' club, you pink-polo shirted sissy." I approached the ball and set up. "Do you think I can make Cermak Road from here?"
"It's never been done," the 'Cat' replied.
"Watch this!"
I took a practice swing, waggled the club, and made a full shoulder turn on the ball making full contact. The ball snapped off the club head striking the metal grating and then ricocheted at warp speed back into the apartment as the gallery hit the deck. "Whack," the ball exploded into the plaster wall behind us
"What the F… was that?" Andy exclaimed through the settling plaster dust.
"Sorry, I caught it a little fat."
"Who's going to pay for that?"
"Don't worry. I read a good article in the Chicago Tribune about patching holes in plaster walls. They said to use toothpaste because when it dries, it sets like cement."
"That isn't a thumbtack hole you moron; that's a crater. It's going to take five tubes to fill that thing."
"No problem. I have some toothpaste coupons from the Sunday paper. Besides, your ruining my high, so shut the hell up and let's continue the games. Where's that pocket fisherman you got for Christmas last year?"
"Oh no,"Andy said. "You're not going to break my pocket fisherman."
"Give it to him," Tom said, "before I dangle your skinny ass upside down over the balcony railing."
"All right, but if you break it, it's yours." Andy went to his bedroom and returned with the portable pole.
"Do you have enough line to reach the pond from up here?" I asked.
"Sure do. There's one hundred yards of ten pound line on the reel."
"Do you have any bread that we can make dough balls with?"
"The Wonder bread is on top on the fridge."
"Good ─ let's go limit out on carp before the pond freezes over," I said. I took the bread, ripped out the center, and made myself a ball of carp candy. "Who wants the first cast?"
"It's my turn," Tom said. "Let me do another shot of Nyquil before I throw. Slamming back another dose, Tom heaved the dough ball from the eighth floor balcony into the pond. "I wonder if we could get a segment on the American Sportsman?" he asked. There was a sudden jerk on the line, "Got one!" Tom began to reel as we all looked down from the railing into the dark abyss. "This sucker is big," he said lifting the fish from the water and started to reel up. We could now see what looked like a five pound carp, swinging through the air about fifty feet below us. "Get him in," I shouted to Tom, "that could be a new eighth floor record."
With a mighty "Hee…Hee…Yeah," he jerked the fish, slinging it into someone's balcony below us. "Slap."
"Hey! What the F… is going on up there?" a man with a cigarette shouted, poking his head out from the balcony below us and looking up.
"What's that guys problem," the 'Cat'? asked.
"I think that guy just got a carp sandwich and we had better get the hell out of here quick."
"Hee…Hee…Yeah! Tom concurred.

Steve Stockman Wants Every Congressman To Read Impeachment Book
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) wants every House member to read a new WorldNetDaily book on why President Obama should be impeached. The Texas congressman told WND that he has 435 copies of "Impeachable Offenses: The Case For Removing Barack Obama From Office," whose authors Aaron Klein and Brenda Elliott hope to kick start an impeachment movement, and plans "to distribute a copy to every member of the House."
Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, received 435 copies of WND reporter Aaron Klein's book "Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama From Office" and planned to distribute a copy to every member of the House.
Stockman told WND he believes the book has information every member of Congress should know, and he insists discussing impeachment should not be forbidden.
"Enforcing the Constitution and preserving limitations on executive authority aren't just mainstream, they're the law," Stockman said.
Klein thinks that Obama might literally be a demon because he has been photographed with flies near him, and also believes the President is part of a George Soros/Muslim Brotherhood plot to destroy capitalism, foment an economic crisis and introduce an Islamic caliphate.
Not to be outdone, Elliott has said that Obama is part of a global socialist conspiracy and will collapse the military and merge it with an Islamic/United Nations force.
