1970-1981 F-Bodies: A Lust Story
You know, I spent a lot of time pondering what kind of "hook" I wanted to bring to this post. Do I liken my affection for these cars to teenage "first love"? An overarching ode to the otherwise generally derided 1970s automobile design? Nothing really seemed to fit, it all seemed either strained or maybe, well, a little skeevy.
So to heck with it: this is a pure vanity post. I'm going to post pictures of cars that I think are some of the most beautiful ever created. Yes, I actually typed that. Yeah, yeah, everyone likes to rip on 1970s cars as being over-styled and under-powered or whatever, and I can't help but agree with a lot of the criticisms. But I'd like you, gentle readers, to step back for a bit and have a good look at the second generation of GM's F-body pony cars, the Camaro and Firebird. I think their looks, and to a fair extent their performance, actually reflect positively on that much-maligned decade in automotive history.
Now, as I mentioned above, this all might be related to that whole "first love" business, since I was in my teen years when these were being produced. So, yeah, at least for me there's something of a nostalgic air about them. But ever since I've started reading and writing here at Car Lust I've actually grown more fond of them: for the era they represent and the features of their design that, in my opinion, makes them as fresh today as they were back in the era of bell bottoms and avocado appliances. I really think they hit on a nearly ideal set of proportions and lines that manage to capture that time but also transcend it (to get a little bit metaphysical). I know I won't convince everybody, but I hope that at least a few of you out there will start to look at these wonderful examples of true pony car designs with a little more respect.
To set the proper mood, it might help to have the theme from Love Story in the background as you read this. I mean, just look at that thing!
Also, to put this post in some context, like some others, I don't particularly care for the previous generation of Camaro/Firebird (I don't really care for the later Gen-1 Mustangs either, for what it's worth). I don't really hate them, but the styling just never thrilled me. They always struck me as somewhat thrown together. "Quick, get something out the door! Make it look kind of like a Mustang but not really." The next generation, by contrast, is its own animal. It retains the long-hood/short-deck of the traditional pony car but, to my eye, is far better proportioned, more balanced, and seems to reflect a more specific overall design than earlier (or later) models. As a wise automotive sage once wrote:
The second generation's styling just seems to have been well thought out with clean lines, good proportions all around, and manages to seem elegant, powerful, and sporty all at the same time. They look good from any angle.
It brings in a bit of elegance to balance out the muscularity, creating an ideal blend of what a pony car ought to be.
And now, on to the car porn!
Let's start at the beginning, 1970:
Much like the Vega, we see that the styling might be considered more "European" and much less brawny than the earlier generation. Taught, low, clean, but perhaps more sinewy rather than muscular. Like it ought to be carving up twisty backroads at a gallop rather than grunting through a quarter mile. I don't care too much for the projecting open grill, but the basic proportions are there that's easing it ever so gently out of the muscle car era.
Here's a 1970 Trans Am from the side (source) that looks like it's moving even when it's standing still:
I prefer the split-grille of the Pontiac; it just seems a bit more. . .civilized than the open-mouthed Camaro (source):
The major stylistic changes for 1972 were a result of stricter collision standards for 1973 -- specifically the bumpers -- although one might be hard-pressed to really notice the difference (from Wiki):
The biggest change came for the 1974 model year when horsepower had noticebly dropped and the true muscle car really became a thing of the past. The F-bodies slimmed down and lost some of the brawn they'd inherited from earlier interations -- think more Bruce Jenner and less Arnold Schwarzenegger:
That's a 1974 Firebird Esprit of Rockford Files fame.It's now a bit less swoopy, less rounded, and the nose isn't quite so prominent, which is a direct result of the new bumper requirements. The change is most noticeable on the Camaro (from Wiki):
I prefer this iteration as the nose looks more in proportion to the rest of the car. I also like the recessing of the headlights which brings the styling a bit more up to date without looking too 'futuristic'.
Things didn't change all that much for the Camaro until the next generation, primarily in the bumpers and the amount of trim involved. Here's a 1978 (from Wiki):
I think this generation really benefits from the rear spoiler. One of my criticisms of this generation is the back end which, without the spoiler, seems to end too quickly, with a whimper instead of a flair; the lack of one makes it seem too front-heavy.
One of my all-time favorites was the Berlinetta, a luxury-oriented Camaro, introduced in 1979 (source):
I've always meant to do a separate post on the Berlinetta, but there's really not much out there on it to warrant its own post and, to be honest, wasn't all that different from the others anyway, mostly a trim package, albeit with a softer suspension, probably geared more towards the feminine market. But I like it.
The Z28 became much too gaudy, IMO, especially in the all-orange getup (from Wiki):
Over on the Firebird side, perhaps the most noticeable feature of the post-'73 era was the addition of the "beak" grille spearator and square quad-headlights (source):
I much prefer the '74+ Firebirds to their Camaro brethren. They even looked good from the back (same place):
I love the taillight slats and lack of ornamention on both ends of this one, and the spoiler really makes the rear end again. Everything just seems to fit with the whole package, even the heavy duty bumpers.
And, of course, this started the whole Trans Am Screaming Chicken models:
Now, in that post, Hafner describes this as "gauche, and deeply imbued with the cheesiness characteristic of the 1970s" which I will. . . .well, not really argue against too strenuously, although I still think it's much less gauche than others I could mention (*cough* bright orange Z28 *cough*). Take away the chicken on the hood and I think it's quite a handsome car, not to mention, as Hafner notes, being an all-around solid performer. I think if I had one car to own for the rest of my life, this might be it. A little gaudy, yes, but I think the overall package is just gorgeous.
Plus, it could be worse. . . .(source):
One other thing: I really like T-tops.
As much as I liked the 1977-78's I didn't really care for what they did to the front end in '79 (source):
At first blush it doesn't look too bad, but it eventually started to grate on me, what with that whole mish-mash of different angles and openings sticks out like a sore thumb, IMO. And it only got worse:
That one is also from Wikipedia and by that time (1981) the front fascia just totally dominated the look of the car, much to its detriment. I guess those black things are supposed to look like super-duper reverse-the-positron-flow air intakes or something. At any rate. . . .ugh.
Well, there you have it: my homage to the G2 F-Body Camaro and Firebird. For the most part, I don't ever get tired of looking at them. Yeah, maybe they weren't the fastest cars ever made, or the most maneuverable, but I think they represent a unity of design that was absent from most cars of that period and many others as well.

Ive recently bought a 7 year old irish sport horse mare, and even though she is still settling in to her new yard, she is very fidgety in the stable when im tacking her up. I want to make sure she is well behaved early on, like standing still when i mount her and to keep her legs still when i put her boots on...
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to sort these problems out? :)

Start by reading 'Perfect Manners' by Kelly Marks. Its a really great book for teaching riders how to treat and teach horses!
Also, a lot of behaviour like you are describing can be easily solved just by getting your horse to relax. If she is more relaxed when she can see other horses, then you could try tacking her up outside. You can also try increasing your own bond with her (more quality time if you can afford it), making sure both the tack and horse are perfectly healthy and correct, and making sure there is nothing else worrying her. There are some situations where telling a horse off just won't help. My old mare used to doze off when I was doing up her tack in the yard, but if I put her in a stable, she would power-pace around, barging into me etc, not specifically out of bad manners or being disrespectful - I was the last thing on her mind - she just hated stables!
Sorry if I have just stated the obvious! Hope any of it helps anyhow... good luck with your mare!

Agree with Rio's comments above! For me though, whenever possible, I prefer to tack up outside as there is a bit more room for manoeuvre!
Thanks for the tips :) Have taken your advice and started tacking up and grooming outside, and the only problem we're having is her kicking the gate occasionally, but very slowly she is learning not too.
Thanks for the feedback!

I'd not ride for a week if it was me let her settle in & do lots of basic ground work & build a bond with her first. The basics are the key :)
I had my girl for about 6 months then i moved to a new yard & my instructer made me stop riding for a couple of weeks & go back to complete basic ground work with her & honestly cant say how much it has helped. It was alot about showing her i'm the Alpha mare & to have complete confidence in me.... as you can see my new instructor was into IHS
Wish i had only discover this 20years ago :)
I forgot to say my TB mare was a little stress head & got wound up very easily. She will know go anywhere with me & be left in a stable block on her own if she does get wound up i can now bring her back down within minutes :)
I didnt ride for about 5 weeks in total just down ground work.

DEKALB, Ill. - Courtney Shelton scored 12 of her career-high 29 points in the last 1:07 of the game, but her clutch effort wasn't enough to give the Northern Illinois women's basketball team its first Mid-American Conference win. The Huskies fell 71-67 to Western Michigan, Saturday at the Convocation Center.
"(Shelton) shot lights out; she takes good shots and that helps shooting percentage," NIU head coach Kathi Bennett said. "She had a heck of a game."
Western Michigan coach Tasha McDowell was even more complimentary of Shelton's late-game heroics.
"That kid hit some amazing shots," McDowell said. "I was thinking 'what can we do to stop her?'"
As it turned out, the clock was the only thing that stopped Shelton down the stretch. The Huskies (6-11, 0-4 MAC) trailed by nine points with 1:15 left before Shelton got hot. Shehit a pair of free throws to start the NIU comeback. Northern Illinois fouled and WMU (5-12, 1-3 MAC) went 1-of-2 from the line before she knocked down a three-pointer to cut the lead to 65-60 with 56 seconds remaining.
NIU fouled on the ensuing inbounds and the Broncos missed both attempts. Shelton was fouled on a lay-up one play later. She made one of her two free throw attempts, trimming the lead to four. Western Michigan's Kemmy Dominique made two free throws to answer, but Shelton hit another three on the ensuing possession to cut the lead to three, 67-64, with 36 seconds left.
Nine seconds later, WMU's Taylor Manley was fouled and hit both free throw attempts to extend the lead to five. Shelton responded with another three-pointer, her third in 36 seconds, to get the Huskies within two with 20 seconds left. The Broncos proved evasive on their next possession, taking 13 seconds off the clock before the Huskies could foul. Dominique hit two more free throws with seven seconds left to put WMU ahead two possessions, effectively ending the game.
The Huskies got off to their best start in MAC play, jumping out to a 13-2 lead. Shelton scored six points during the opening run, and sophomore Brittney Callahan put in five. Another Shelton three put the Huskies on top 21-11 with 8:21 left. Western Michigan finished the half on a 15-5 run to take a 31-26 lead into the locker room.
"Turning the ball over, not getting back in transition really caused us in the first half to lose our lead," Bennett said.
Western Michigan kept the Huskies at bay for the entire second half, in part by shooting 57.1 percent from the field.
"They shot the ball really well, but we were late on everything," Bennett said. "We didn't do a good job contesting shots."
NIU got within one on two occasions, but never retook the lead. Shelton scored 18 points in the second half alone. Behind her effort, Kim Davis finished the game a double-double, registering 10 points and 10 rebounds. Marke Freeman scored 11 points with five boards. Freshman Danielle Pulliam added a career-high eight assists. Bennett saw progress offensively, but knows there is room to improve.
"We were a lot better offensively and we had good looks," she said. "It's just we missed a lot of lay-ups, free throw shooting. Those are things we've got to keep working at. I did think our offense was much better than what we've done in the past."
The Broncos had a three-headed scoring monster that received 18 points each from Dominique and Manley, and 17 from Miame Giden. Brenna Bankston scored nine points, all of three-pointers, and added 11 rebounds.
The Huskies grabbed 41 boards to WMU's 37, and have outrebounded their opponents in every MAC game this year. NIU also hit 52.9 percent, continuing its role as one of the most accurate three-point shooting teams in the nation.
NIU returns to action Wednesday, January 19 at 7 p.m. against Ball State at the Convocation Center.

263.2 sec. 1 - Business, Social Responsibility, and Human Rights (Fall 2013)
Instructor: Jamie O'Connell (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: MW 2:10-3:25
Meeting Location: 115
Course Start: August 21, 2013
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 50609
This course addresses the emerging field of corporate social responsibility and human rights. Traditionally, international human rights norms have constrained the behavior only of states, not of private actors. Furthermore, the leaders of most U.S. corporations have viewed profit generation as their most important objective by far. However, a growing number of activists, academics, politicians, and businesspeople themselves believe that private, for-profit enterprises must respect at least some human rights and promote some social objectives, such as ending corruption or protecting the environment. Opinion on the extent and nature of these responsibilities varies widely, however, and some maintain the traditional view that businesses have none beyond the pursuit of profit.
We will explore both overarching questions and issues particular to certain industries or contexts. The former include whether businesses should devote attention to human rights issues, what legal and business considerations should guide them, and how much influence they have on social problems and human rights violations. We will examine the latter through case studies on such topics as:
--collaboration between extractive companies and government security forces;
--problems of operating in war zones (e.g., "conflict diamonds");
--internet companies' role government efforts to control access to controversial online content (such as offensive speech and political dissent); and
--garment industry efforts to police subcontractors' compliance with labor rights.
The class's format will combine seminar-style discussion, lecturing, and occasional role-plays, small group exercises, and debates.

College Hockey:Knelsen Scores Goal, Assist as Alaska Edges Nebraska-Omaha
Greenham Stops 41
OMAHA, Neb. — Having just returned from leading the United States to gold in the IIHF World Junior Championships, Nebraska-Omaha coach Dean Blais found his 'Welcome home' gift from his full-time job to be less than ideal.
With a grueling second-half schedule beckoning, Blais had hoped his return to the Mavericks' bench this week would galvanize the team. There were signs of that on Friday, with UNO outshooting visiting Alaska 42-21 on the night, but positive signs for the hosts were too few and far between in their 3-1 loss to the 20th-ranked Nanooks at Qwest Center Omaha.
UA had not played since losing 5-3 to UNO in Fairbanks on Dec. 12, but any thoughts of the Nanooks exhibiting rust on Friday were erased by an opening goal from freshman winger Andy Taranto only 51 seconds into the game.
UNO never led in the game, only managing to draw level late in the second period after sophomore center Alex Hudson beat UA netminder Scott Greenham near-side from a low-percentage angle within the left face-off circle. The Nanooks' goalie shut up shop from there on however, and UA freshman winger Nik Yaremchuk put home a loose puck off of a rebound for his fourth goal of the season at 4:23 of the third period to give the visitors the lead for good.
Dion Knelsen later put the game on ice for the Nanooks, putting a point-blank wrist shot between Faulkner's legs with 1:59 left in the game. It was the senior center's second point of the night, having been credited with an assist on Yaremchuks game winner earlier in the final period.
"We were expecting a better result," Blais said. "We played hard, but I thought their goaltender was the difference in the game. He made good saves with not a lot of rebounds. We had traffic on the net — and missed some open nets — but we didn't get any real puck luck tonight."
In the opposite dressing room, UA coach Dallas Ferguson figured that Friday would be an emotional night for Blais and the Nanooks' hosts, and Ferguson was pleased with the way his team responded to the resulting pressure.
"I had been anticipating exactly what I got (out of this game)," he said. "UNO played hard, and obviously one of the differences in the game was Scott Greenham. He played outstanding, and they got a lot of quality scoring chances, but Scott was there, and he was probably our best player tonight.
"At the same time, there's probably a lot of energy going around with Blais winning a gold medal. That's an amazing accomplishment, and I'm sure his players were excited for him, knowing them and knowing how much they respect him. There's some excitement there, and they hadn't been (playing) at home for quite a while, so they were probably excited to be playing at home and, having their coach back, they probably felt pretty good about that, too. That's what I expected, and we played hard, and we hung around and hung around and took advantage of our opportunities."
Ferguson now hopes to see his Nanooks (now 10-5-4, 7-5-3-3 CCHA) try and seal its final regular-season series with the Mavericks (9-9-5, 5-8-2-1) when the two sides meet again on Saturday in Omaha.

MSI announces the first Windows 8 certified all-in-one PCs
Wind Top AE2281G and AE2081 awarded Windows Approved status
PC VENDOR Micro-Star International (MSI) has announced the first all-in-one (AIO) PCs to be officially certified for Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system (OS).
MSI announced today that the Wind Top AE2281G and the Wind Top AE2081 reached Approved status in the Windows hardware certification reports.
Both models come with a third generation Intel Core processor, an Nvidia Geforce GT630M graphics card and an optional multitouch display.
Two high speed USB 3.0 ports with MSI Super Charger technology alongside four USB 2.0 ports will also feature on the devices, MSI said in a statement.
MSI said that the Wind Top AE2281G AIO is also included in Microsoft's official Windows 8 upgrade program, enabling users to buy an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for £14.99 until 31 January 2013 if they bought the device after 2 June this year.
Microsoft announced last month that its next Windows OS will be available from 26 October. Microsoft Windows division president Steven Sinofsky announced the news at an annual sales meeting, saying that the OS will be available in 109 languages across 231 markets worldwide.
Though MSI might have grabbed certification for its AIO PCs before any other firms, there will be plenty of other PC OEMs, including HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus and Toshiba to name a few, lining up for certifications as they prepare to roll out their lines of ultrabooks and tablets running the OS. µ

2016 US Grand Prix - Saturday (Taylor Swift Concert Included)
Circuit of The Americas - Del Valle, TX
Concert News
Taylor Swift 1989 Tour Dates Unveiled for 2015
As perhaps expected, just a week after the release of her highly anticipated, pop-fueled fifth studio album, "1989," Taylor Swift unveiled tour plans for 2015. The international venture will once again include a generous helping of North American indoor arena and outdoor stadium shows that will keep Swift busy from at least May-October. Interestingly enough, one of her first domestic appearances will be a headlining stint at the Bayou Country Superfest in Baton Rouge (May 22) in an evening that will likely offer fans a more country-heavy set list than will be found for the majority of the trek.
Following in the footsteps of past notable Taylor Swift tour openers like Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone, the "Shake It Off" singer has this time enlisted the talents of Vance Joy and Shawn Mendes, who each enjoyed rising profiles in 2014 thanks to the hit single "Riptide" for the former and an ever-popular presence on Vine for the latter. At the time of the initial announcement, the 1989 World Tour is expected to visit most cities only once, while a handful of select cities will host multiple nights including Foxborough, Mass. (July 24-25), Edmonton (Aug. 4-5), Glendale, Ariz. (Aug. 17-18), Los Angeles (Aug. 25-26), and Denver (Sept. 5-6), among others. Check out the Vivid Seats marketplace for a wide selection of Taylor Swift tickets on sale for the can't-miss venture.
iHeartRadio Music Festival 2014 Tabs Taylor Swift as Headliner
Though it has been a relatively quiet year for Taylor Swift on the tour front, the singer is set to return to the stage in a major way this fall. Per the official iHeartRadio Music Festival 2014 lineup announcement on July 23, Swift has been confirmed as one of the event's main headliners for the fourth edition of the popular Las Vegas live music celebration. It will be the second time Swift has performed at the fest since it was established in 2011, as she also made an appearance back in 2012. For this year, Swift will take the MGM Grand Garden Arena stage on Sept. 19 in an evening that also will feature performances by Coldplay, Motley Crue, Zac Brown Band, and more, while booked for the following night are One Direction, Ed Sheeran, and Eric Church, among others. Event organizers also have hinted at surprise guests and collaborations throughout the weekend, in keeping with trends of past installments.
With her extensive Red World Tour now complete, Swift has said she plans to take time off to re-group and finish work on what will be her fifth studio album. According to an interview with Swift in May 2014, the forthcoming release is "already my favorite thing that I've ever created." Her last record, "Red," has been certified Platinum four times in the U.S. alone since dropping in 2012, and hit No. 1 on the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
Taylor Swift Ticket Information
No matter the genre, the ever-talented Taylor Swift continues to be a major force in virtually every facet of the music industry. As has been well-documented, the Pennsylvania native's move to Nashville during her teenage years helped set in a motion a career chock-full of top-selling, award-winning music. It didn't take long for her iconic debut single, "Tim McGraw," to go Platinum, while an impressive string of No. 1 songs like "Our Song," "Should've Said No," "Love Story," "You Belong With Me," and "We Are Never Getting Back Together," helped to further solidify her elite status, and also helped pave the way for a gradual transition from country to pop. Don't miss the chance to see one of the world's top touring acts on stage, buy Taylor Swift tickets from Vivid Seats to experience her celebrated discography performed live in a city near you.

The result of the last match means nothing. Its a fresh match after all, ONGC Coach Subrata Bhattacharya said in one breath, a day before ONGC take on defending champions Dempo SC in the first match of the 6th round. Besides being defending champions, Dempo are the current league leaders. How can you ignore that? They have been the most consistent team in Indian Football in the last decade. Theres so much quality in the side, he continues. We have had positive results at home when we forced strong contenders Prayag United and Mohun Bagan to split points with us. But as I said, its past. But we are confident that we can do well, he adds. Dempo SC Coach Armando Colaco, smiles. ONGC are a fighting unit. They have had some good results at home. And do remember, despite the standings, the match starts goalless, he quips. After 5 matches, Dempo stay at the top with 13 points while ONGC stay at the bottom with 2 points. We have to make our own calculations against Dempo. Against such a team, you cant go all out. It will be like committing suicide. We will be cautious and look out for that opportunity, Bhattacharya maintains. A point against Dempo will be a bonus. Not every team will manage to get a point against them. We need to defend well. There isnt any room for any errors. Theres no denying we face an uphill task, the ONGC coach opines. We have had a good time to focus and prepare for the match. Luckily enough, we are fresh unlike the last time where we had to play on consecutive days. We dont have anyone sitting out and none stays injured, Bhattacharya smiles at last. The same isnt the case with the visitors. Defender par excellence Mahesh Gawli is out with an injury as is Koko Sakibu while food poisoning has forced Rohan Ricketts out. The kick-off at the Ambedkar Stadium on Friday (November 16) is at 2.30 pm.

Anonymous Posting in the Corporate Environment
By billy.cripe on Jan 28, 2009
Anonymous Posting in the Corporate Environment
Is it worth it to allow (encourage?) employees to interact with each other and ideas anonymously? That was the question posed to me yesterday as I was keynoting an event on Enterprise 2.0. The question made me pause. After all, most organizational surveys (effectiveness etc) are anonymous. Most public surveys are anonymous or at least promise to protect your identity and only use aggregated demographic information. The reason for this is pretty clear: Anonymity acts as a catalyst freeing up information (and ideally honest evaluations in the case of surveys).
But what about when we interact with blog posts or wiki edits or ideas posted to a working group or project team? What about when the boss asks you what you think (if you are the faceless masses of employees who report up to him/her)?
I'm not sure yet and I'm interested in what others think but I'm leaning towards the perspective that anonymity doesn't belong in Enterprise 2.0 technology. It *does* belong in Web 2.0 technology but not when it is used in the workplace by employees for employees. Why? Several reasons.
1. You are already a known entity in the workplace. You were hired to do a job, to influence, to solve, to produce. You Johny Q. So you're already known. Start with that. There is no reasonable expectation of electronic anonymity when you are doing your job (most HR and corporate tech policies outline this already). Furthermore in phone calls, face to face interactions and email interactions (again, colleague to colleague B2B and E2E not B2C or C2C) your identity is not hidden. It is an asset. An email from Sam in R&D carries a certain gravitas especially when talking about code or performance or bugs where as an email from Patricia at the front desk on the same topic does not carry the same weight. It's not that Patricia's ideas on bug solutions are not valuable, but they are subject to a greater burden of proof. I want to know the proverbial "says who?"
2. In many e20 technologies not being anonymous is not the same as being known. Take wiki technology. In order to edit our internal Oracle wiki I have to log in with my user name. It's not anonymous. But neither is my name plastered all over the entries I create or edit. They are buried in some log file somewhere mainly so that if I write something stupid or criminal I can be held responsible. But here is the key: the internal culture of Oracle is such that there is no "chilling effect" on me (that I am aware of anyway) that keeps me from saying what I know is true and appropriate. I suspect the same is true of *most* places that have an enterprise wiki. So corporate culture is key, but if you are working in a repressive "YES-MAN" kind of a job my guess is that you're probably not allowed to read this blog either so we can chat in 5 years when your business catches up with the rest of us.
3. Even where there are outliers they get rightfully marginalized as more users participate. In the work environment, if Billy tags a document with the word "ass" it's probably an outlier. It will become statistically and influentially marginalized as a tag (or useful search term or accurate metadata) as more users tag the document more accurately. This gets to the core of the good behavior argument I hear so often about Enterprise 2.0 technology. "What if someone posts a picture of their XXXXXX on our intranet?" Sorry not a new kind of question. The scenario and technology has changed, the core issue has not. And the reality is that there are already mechanisms in place to deal with poor behavior in most work places. Anonymity in this case is an invitation for more not less misbehavior because of the lack of enforcable oversight.
4. Going anonymous gives up huge amounts of potential in business intelligence, efficiency, prediction markets and expert systems. Take a simple thing like a 5 star rating system for a web site or document or picture or product idea or whatever. There are times when it is vital that everybody gets one vote. But what if votes were weighted based on expertise which was determined by the votes of others who interact (produce/consume) with similar information? Bex suggests that the semantic web idea has legs just because Sir Tim Berners Lee "voted" for it so long ago and that it cannot stand on its own merit. That might be true, but it is of vital interest to me and many others that someone of TBL's expertise has thought and voted for the Semantic web. Reminds me of a Simpson's episode. How many investors follow the lead of Warren Buffet? We need experts and their opinions have weight. Inside the business you can tap that expertise but only if you know who is an expert. Then you use that along with the rest of the inputs from non-semi-partial-and sometimes experts (pundits) to weigh and evaluate your decisions. I think it just makes sense.
5. there are still times when anonymity is important but it's probably still tied to web 1.0 technology like organizational surveys. And if you're the kind of person who can only say the truth behind a shield of "ANON" then you should think about taking some conflict communications classes or looking for another job. I think it is incumbent upon us as employees to be in a constant feedback cycle with our immediate bosses and constituents to provide constructive feedback not "you're an idiot" feedback in the "do you have anything else to add" section of a survey sent out by HR once a year.

" Great location! Super safe; and only few blocks from one of the nicest beaches in Salvador. There is an awesome fruit stand half a block away and a supermarket, pharmacy one block away. Luciene, Alex and Jacqueline were super friendly and helpful. Plenty of restaurants all around it. This is one of the nicest areas of Salvador, 10 mins from Rio Rio Vermelho and Pelouriho, where you can find music and historic scene. I will be back in Brazil soon and will be back at Open House!

This is my personal website where I post my rants and any ideas that comes to mind.
I am horrable about keeping up with my own website and it kills me. Will working as a Software Engineer full time, kids (5), and a very loving wife I find myself with little left in the tank by the end of my day. Frankly, I am not that interesting of a person. I have strange hobbits that change more frequent that midwest weather and a mild work-o-holic ( I am in the 12 step program but work keeps getting in the way).
I hope that the 365 day of Pi will help me to remember half the crazy stuff that passes between my ears.

Flash Review 1, 11-9: Scaling
Traversing Inner & Outer Landscapes with Wood & Race
By Maura Nguyen Donohue
Copyright 2001 Maura Nguyen Donohue
NEW YORK -- I will hold each of you
accountable if Ellis Wood & Lisa Race's shared DTW
Around Town program, which opened last night at the Duke, is not sold out
for the remainder of its weekend run. Gather your pennies, face the insanity of
42nd St and get your soon-to-be-turkey-fed, hibernating-for-the-winter-behind
to The Duke and witness a riotous explosion and celebration of perseverance in
its many forms. Though Wood and Race both come from a gymnastics background and
are riveting, lively performers, their styles and work are dramatically different.
However, the two halves of the evening, presented by Dance Theater Workshop, side
well together, bringing the audience on an exhaustive visceral passage through
magnificent inner and outer landscapes.
Ellis Wood is a modern day gunslinger.
Her "Funkionlust Slut" rides into town and takes no prisoners. It is confounding,
disturbing, hilarious and entirely alive. The constantly shifting terrain is brilliantly
constructed in how it captures, confronts, scares and startles us. Wood is a woman
with a mission and an artist ready to be heard. She has taken her latest effort
beyond the physical representation of emotional urgency seen in earlier works
and has risked having her dancers perform their greatest fear: To speak. Since
I first saw her on the DTW stage, in a Fresh Tracks we shared 6 years ago, I have
been thoroughly fascinated by Wood's combustible mix of anger and vulnerability.
In performance, her body often screams like an open wound. In this latest work,
for Leslie Johnson, Michelle LaRue, Jennifer Phillips, Kristine Willis, and herself,
she has the dancers themselves literally screaming. The dance opens with the image
of rising hips and barrels though sequences of ferocious dancing bursting with
raw, assertive sexuality and ripping heartbreak. There is a heartrending undercurrent
running the length of this piece, even when Wood zanily stumbles through a solo
declaring "I want it." Of the dancers other than Wood, Phillips manages the heartbreaking
awkwardness best, shifting from exposed waif who offers herself "for free" to
hearty, self-declared "hot" vamp, with ease.
Wood's work over the past two years
on the Gender Project, which
seeks to heighten awareness of how women dance artists are treated differently
from their male counterparts, has visibly heightened her determination to be heard
and to ensure that other women are heard as well. The ferocity of "Funkionslust
Slut" seems a direct response to what Wood calls the "overwhelming devastation
of her experience" observing the differences in conditions between men and women
in the dance world. Personally, she refers to the examples present in her own
life. Her mother started dancing at five, her father at 25. When both were with
the Graham company, her mother was a member of the chorus, her father a soloist
and rehearsal director. When they left Graham he was offered five prestigious
positions in dance around the world, while she was offered nothing. When they
started the dance program at the University of California at Berkeley, it was
four years before she could get paid half of his salary. It's frightening.
Wood would be a tough act to follow
if you weren't Lisa Race. This dynamo of a performer clears the air with fell
swoops galore in her 1999 solo "Three Wishes." Though Race claims sleep deprivation,
this new mother shows no signs of slowing down or easing up. She speaks the language
of highly athletic movement seamlessly, with full, luscious phrasing. She's so
smooth you don't notice that her movements are bursting with attack. Her new quartet,
"Social Climb," for Anna Sofia Kallinikidou, Paul Matteson, Jennifer Nugent and
Mark Stuver, is as full of risk taking as Wood's contribution and every bit as
well achieved.
While we began digging the depths
with Wood, Race combines with her dancers to bring us to the summit of this trek.
We shift out of our uncomfortable skins as these fearless daredevils bring their
points of contact beyond phenomenal partnering and into a study in endurance.
The performers easily share comments on preparing for long hikes, addressing fear
of heights, welcoming challenges and hurdling U.S. Immigration department mistakes;
physical climbing becomes a metaphor for overcoming such obstacles. Race, with
the aid of lighting designer Philip Sandstrom and rugged costumes from Naoko Nagata
(also the designer for Wood), manages to expand the tightly packed Duke Theater
until we are transported to a mountainside, tagging along as the dancers embark
on a vigorous hike.
The dance opens with a brilliant
flash of height as the delightfully fluid Matteson is momentarily raised over
head before the dancers gracefully tumble to the floor. I found it easy to disappear
into this realm. To forget any other concerns and root them on each time they
got up off the floor dripping in sweat to ascend onward. The choreography is intricate
and the dancing is excellent all around. The playful nature of the dancers, their
easy camaraderie and the seemingly effortless changes of supporter to supported
paint a picture of open air game playing. All four are amiable and cooperative.
The overwhelming sense of solidarity between these men and women is a calming,
hopeful energy for the latter half of the evening. Getting to the top is achieved
through collaboration and No gets left behind.

No regrets: After whirlwind hoops career, Chris Burgess happy to be back at Utah as an undergraduate coach
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — If things had gone according to plan, Chris Burgess would be kicking back and reflecting on a long and successful NBA career about now. Or maybe he'd still be finishing up his playing days, filling the veteran's role for an NBA team like his former college teammate, Shane Battier, is in Miami.
Burgess once had dreams of playing in the NBA and making a nice living. One of the most highly recruited players in the nation out of high school, he famously spurned BYU coach Roger Reid and the Cougars to attend Duke University and play for coach Mike Krzyzewski.
At the time, Burgess figured he'd go to Duke for a couple of years and then move on to the NBA. It turned out he did go to Duke for just two years, but instead of heading to the NBA, he left the school after unfulfilled expectations and transferred to Utah, where he played two injury-plagued seasons under coach Rick Majerus. With his NBA hopes dashed, Burgess embarked on a professional career that took him to five continents and created a decade of memories that he'll always cherish.
The 34-year-old Burgess is now back in Utah, hoping to begin a coaching career. He's starting at the very bottom — not as a graduate assistant, but an undergraduate assistant to Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak — as he finishes up his degree at the U.
"I'm trying to learn a little about everything and show my value there,'' Burgess says as he watches fellow undergraduates 15 years his junior practice on the Huntsman Center floor. "I'm trying to learn from every coach on the staff. Any way I can take pressure off the coaches working with the big guys, any way I can help is what I'm trying to do.''
Kyrstkowiak didn't even know he could have an undergraduate assistant, but he couldn't be happier with how it's working out with Burgess.
"It's a great situation with the NCAA rules that he is able to come back and finish his undergraduate degree and get into coaching,'' said Krystkowiak, who got a similar start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Montana.
"So it's a win for him that he is able to be around our team and spend a lot of time with our guys on the court. What he can share with them is invaluable. There's always a great value in getting someone back that wore the uniform and understands the place and has an affinity for it.''
After taking a full load of classes in the fall, Burgess just has a single class this semester to finish up his degree in speech communications. He came up short of a degree when he finished his playing career at Utah in 2002 after many of his credits from Duke didn't transfer and he immediately started playing basketball for a living overseas, where he made a living for 11 years.
"I've been everywhere,'' Burgess says with a smile. And he's not exaggerating.
He started out in Turkey, went to Australia for three years, then jumped around to the Philippines, South Korea, Egypt, Ukraine, Puerto Rico and Poland before finishing his career last year in United Arab Emirates.
"As a big guy, you have more options,'' he says of his long professional career. He talks fondly about running into former Utes like Ben Melmeth in Australia and Hanno Mottola in Europe and making contacts all over the world.

September 29, 1997
PULLMAN, Wash. -- The Washington State women's soccer team (3-4-0 overall) looks to get over the .500 mark this week as the Cougars take to the road for the second week in a row to tackle hosts Louisville Oct. 3 and Kentucky Oct. 5.
These are the final two non-league contests of the season for WSU. The Cougars open Pacific-10 Conference play at home Oct. 10 in a match with Oregon State.
And as always, fourth-year head coach Lisa Gozley realizes the importance of the upcoming out-of-region matches.
"We can really help ourselves in the national picture with two wins this weekend," said Gozley. "We've been struggling on the road with consistency. We need two wins."
Louisville (5-5-0 overall) has lost its last four matches while playing its last five on the road. The Cardinals, already 2-3-0 in the Conference USA standings, are undefeated at home with wins over DePaul and Marquette.
Kentucky (4-5-1 overall), an NCAA Tournament team the last two seasons, is in the midst of a six-game homestand. The SEC Wildcats, 2-4-0 at home, have won their last two matches at the UK Soccer Complex. Last week Kentucky defeated Tennessee 3-2 and Georgia 4-1.
Last weekend the Cougars split a pair of matches in Missoula, Mont. WSU lost a physical 4-0 match to host Montana Sept. 26, then rebounded with a 3-1 win over Air Force Sept. 27.
Three Dot Notes - Junior Amy Chippendale (Kearny, N.J.), WSU's nominee for Pac-10 Player of the Week, took over the team's scoring honors with seven points (three goals, one assist)...Chippendale scored the game-winning goal vs. Air Force, her ninth career goal, to move into WSU's top ten list in goals scored...senior Tina Walsh (Boise, Idaho) made an impact in her first action of the season as she scored the first goal of the Air Force match...Walsh has 12 career goals, fourth on WSU's list.
Additional Quotes From Head Coach Lisa Gozley - "Louisville will be competitive and we need to keep our focus. Kentucky is a good, young team. They had a good recruiting class and they've gone to the NCAA tournament the last two years."

Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 45min
Alex Sheldon is an author whose writer's block is the least of his problems--he also happens to be flat broke and owes Cuban loan sharks $100,000. The thugs give Alex an ultimatum: pay up in 30 days or wind up dead. The only way Alex is going to get that kind of money is by finishing his novel, which is currently less than one sentence long. He's got some idea of what he wants the story to be, but he just can't seem to get it out onto paper. Now lacking both inspiration and a laptop, Alex secures the services of opinionated stenographer, Emma Dinsmore, to help him complete the novel and get paid by his publisher in time to save his skin. The story of Adam Shipley soon begins to emerge. The fictional Adam is a romantic young writer who has been hired to tutor the children of Polina Delacroix, a chic, gorgeous French woman in dire financial straits. The story that reveals itself is of the obsessive love that Adam develops for Polina, while ignoring the potential for true love with Polina's au pair, known in successive incarnations as the stern Swede Ylva, Elsa the bawdy German, Eldora the Spanish beauty, and down-to-earth American Anna. Meanwhile, Alex and Emma spend their days and nights working together on the novel. Emma challenges his ideas at every turn, and her initially irritating but undeniably intriguing input begins to influence Alex and his story. Soon, real life begins to imitate art--and art, to imitate life.

A scheme giving parents access to information about paedophiles who may come into contact with their children is to be extended from Monday.
It has been billed as one step closer to what has become known as "Sarah's Law" after the murdered eight-year-old Sarah Payne.
A trial of the scheme began in September in Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Warwickshire and Stockton in Cleveland.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said extending it to more areas offers children a "better deal".
The Government has not yet revealed which parts of the country will be included in the roll out.
More than 150 parents living in the trial areas asked for information under the scheme and 10 were informed about sex offenders who may have come into contact with their children.
Critics feared vigilante attacks but no incidents have so far been reported.
Sara Payne, the mother of the schoolgirl killed by convicted sex offender Roy Whiting in 2000, has campaigned for a British version of "Megan's Law" in the United States.
The American legislation offers access to the name, address and pictures of some paedophiles.
Earlier this year Ms Payne was appointed Victims' Czar by the Government.

Time for some honesty: I hate being pregnant. Now don't get me wrong. I love my babies. I love motherhood. But the first trimester and I are not friends. The first 3-4 months of pregnancy are a roller coaster of misery for me. The unyielding nausea, vomiting, and exhaustion make labor seem like a walk in the park in comparison. It's like 15 weeks of the stomach flu. I'm pregnant with baby #3 and I'm so grateful to be ending my second trimester now!
Now I know some women are not on such bad terms with the Infamous First Trimester. Some women breeze through with nary a day of nausea. They'll say, "I never feel better than when I'm pregnant!" If this is you then I'll try to refrain from giving you a good scowl for your amazing luck.
But if you're like me, here's some ideas to help you survive those first few weeks if the morning sickness is going to keep you down for the count. Even if you're one of the 25% of gals that doesn't experience morning sickness, you will most likely experience some pregnancy fatigue and these ideas will help you make it to that second trimester burst of energy!
When you find out you're expecting, now is the time to celebrate before those wretched food aversions creep in. Kick up your heels! Go to your favorite restaurant! I always want to enjoy a few delicious dinners of Italian food that I know I won't be able to stomach when my pregnancy aversion to basil inevitably kicks in (to the great sorrow of my basil-loving husband.) Enjoy it!

Brad Mehldau: Dear Prudence
Dear Prudence
Brad Mehldau (piano)
Largo (Warner Bros 48114)
Brad Mehldau (piano),
Derek "Oles" Oleszkiewicz (bass), Jim Keltner (drums), Matt Chamberlain (shaker, percussion).
Composed by Lennon/McCartney.
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, April 2-8, 2001
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Brad Mehldau sounds completely comfortable bridging the gap between rock and jazz, and "Dear Prudence" is another of his unforced, genre-spanning efforts. He never overworks his covers by trying to do too much with them; instead, he respects the compositional boundaries and celebrates what made the tune great in the first place. The pianist's take on the melody here is pretty straightforward, and though the mood is mellow, the groove is buoyant thanks to Oles's swinging bass. The star, though, is Jim Keltner, the renowned rock session drummer who actually recorded with three of the Fab Four (Lennon, Harrison and Starr). His work is loose but precise, unpredictable and subtly extraordinary. His understated playing behind Mehldau's solo is fantastic, especially his slyly capricious hi-hat accents and floor-tom fills. Close listening will be richly rewarded.

Rush and Led Zep fans - turn away now! The greatest rock drummer of all time (!) is in full force on this track. Nobody can touch that slinky, swampy groove. Thanks for this review, Matt. PS - JK also plays great on two Bill Frisell records - Good Dog, Happy Man and Gone Just Like a Train. Check them out!

Hoping to remedy the situation, Corsair has released an inexpensive "USB 3.0 upgrade kit." For $14.99, Obsidian 700D and 800D owners can replace their existing I/O panel with one that swaps two of the 700D/800D's USB 2.0 ports for USB 3.0. The new panel carries two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an IEEE 1394 connector, as well as stereo and microphone jacks. As a reminder, the front panel USB 3.0 ports must be plugged into USB 3.0 ports on your motherboard or expansion card.

You can purchase the kit directly through Corsair's site.
