Physicians are an important part our society, possessing a wide array of knowledge and experience and insight into the human condition. The public value of this collective reservoir of talent is priceless. As the pace of our world quickens and the demand for information rises, needs for easily accessible commons for physicians to air their perspectives – from health to technology to politics – will grow.
One such simple and easily accessible commons is the ambient chatter that Twitter can foster. To the uninitiated, Twitter may appear to be a frivolous stream of drivel and narcissism. As a matter of fact, it does enable a lot of that.
But Twitter enables other purposes beyond drivel and narcissism.
I started RNchat (@RNchat) over a year ago and have found it to be a simple means to enable nurses to connect and network; share experiences and information; and express their diverse views and opinions and knowledge with others from around the world instantaneously.
For one physicians's perspective on Twitter, read Dr. Westby Fisher's story on his journey from Doubting Thomas to power user.
I think it's time that physicians are offered a similar opportunity to find each other, crowdsource other physicians and otherwise learn to participate in the ever-evolving communications and social platforms of our century.
A Twitter chat may not be for all physicians – medicine is a diverse profession. But it can facilitate new exchanges and catalyze the learning process for physicians who need to acquire a better apprehension of today's media.
Twitter epitomizes the general direction of 21st Century communications. It's core feature is a flexible simplicity which enables endless permutations of re-purposed utility.
Twitter is not one thing. It is by itself neither social nor conversational. Rather, it's a pliant and ambient technology that permits several different purposes which can grow around it.
Physicians certainly have many other platforms to share their ideas and convey their messages. But we also need physicians to experiment and learn and use the novel communications protocol that is Twitter. The serendipitous radiation around its ambient intimacy is hard to replicate elsewhere.
MDchat: HEALTHY TWEETS
So rather than waiting for doctors' orders, I am launching @MD_chat for physicians to participate in advancing our collective understanding of the influences of emerging technologies on our culture, health, privacy, dignity and many other aspects of the human condition.
Below is a slideshow introducing MDchat and explaining how it works (if you can't see it, you can view it here or here):
The hashtag will be #MDchat.
MDchat is not limited to MDs – all physicians are welcome to join. I merely selected it for its catchy feel. Over time, I believe specialty chats will develop.
If you're a physician, please don't think you're an exception or exclusion from conversations orbiting emerging technologies – quite the contrary!
Follow @MD_chat on Twitter. If you don't have an account, sign up here. I'll be available to guide interested parties.
Transcripts of chats will be posted on this site as well as on Scribd and Slideshare.
My goal is for physicians to eventually lead and moderate these chats. I'm merely acting as facilitator. If you are a physician and are interested in leading – or wish to submit topics – you can do so via email or Twitter. Or you can just call me the old fashioned way: 484-362-0451.
For now, I'd like to welcome all physicians to the usefully serendipitous – and often amusing – world of Twitter.
Mayo Clinic recently announced the formation of its Center for Social Media. Missing in the first member of its advisory board was a physician. But that won't last long: soon enough a physician will be involved – and not just on Mayo's Center. We hope #MDchat helps nudge physicians to add their priceless input to 21st Century communications.
Our inaugural #MDchat will be held Tuesday, October 5, 2010.
If you got through organic chemistry in one piece, Twitter should be a no-brainer to figure out.
Welcome to @MD_chat! (mind the underscore)
Phil Baumann, RN

Editor's note: This story has been updated.
SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Gov. John Hickenlooper's office has confirmed that he will visit Snowmass Village for two events taking place on March 6.
Late last week, Roaring Fork Leadership announced that Hickenlooper will speak at a fundraiser that is open to the public. The governor will discuss his path to state politics, and guests will have an opportunity to ask him questions, according to a statement.
The event has been dubbed "Hickenlooper 2.0" because the governor has spoken to the nonprofit before, in August 2007, said executive director Andrea Palm-Porter. Hosting the governor is a way to mark Roaring Fork Leadership's 25th birthday, according to a statement, and all proceeds from the event will go to the nonprofit's 25th Anniversary Fundraiser Fund.
The governor will also attend a private fundraiser for his re-election campaign that same day at Viceroy Snowmass.
Dwayne Romero, president of Related Colorado and alumnus of Roaring Fork Leadership, helped set up the gubernatorial visit. Romero has worked with Hickenlooper on the statewide Economic Development Commission.
"John has been a great supporter of civic engagement and consensus leadership because it strengthens regional connections, so it is very appropriate that he would speak in front of Roaring Fork Leadership on this anniversary," Romero said.
Roaring Fork Leadership is a nonprofit that aims to help people build effective leadership skills. Eighty percent of its 600 alumni live in the Roaring Fork Valley, according to a statement.
The fundraiser is from 6 to 8 p.m. March 6 in the Base Village Conference Center. Tickets are $35 or $45 at the door. For more information, call 970-922-6035 or visit www.rfleadership.org.

White House Faces Memoir Season
Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates's memoir has proved an unwanted distraction for the White House – one that's not likely to go away any time soon.
Mr. Gates will be out promoting the book on TV and in press interviews, keeping attention focused on his charge that the Obama administration was riven by disagreements over Afghanistan war policy. Mr. Gates also wrote that he was "offended" by what he called "the controlling nature" of the White House along with its "determination to take credit for every good thing that happened while giving none to the career folks in the trenches who had actually done the work …"
None of this can be easy for senior White House aides to stomach. With no forewarning of what Mr. Gates planned to write, they've had little time to mount a defense.

- War of Words: U.S. Ground Troops Needed to Beat ISIS?
- Former Defense Chief Gates Says Crimea a 'Done Deal'
- Hillary Clinton Talks Benghazi, 2016 -- and Driving Ban
- Gates: Syria Red Line Was 'Serious Mistake'
So far, the White House has taken a polite tone toward Mr. Gates, leaving it to former aides to publicly criticize him on the grounds that a 600-page memoir is the wrong place to air such grievances.
In his regular press briefing on Thursday, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Mr. Obama "appreciates Secretary Gates's service as secretary of defense and his lifetime of service to our country."
In the past, White House aides haven't been all that charitable toward perceived acts of staff disloyalty.
Bob Woodard, in his book "The Price of Politics," describes an exchange between senior aide Valerie Jarrett and former budget director Peter Orszag after Mr. Orszag had left the government. He had written an op-ed column criticizing Obamacare for not addressing the issue of medical malpractice.
After the article ran, Ms. Jarrett told him he had "burned your bridges," Mr. Woodward wrote. The White House declined to comment Thursday on the episode described in the book.
One thing is certain: more memoirs are coming. Plenty of former officials privy to closed-door White House meetings will be tempted to write books in the coming years. Which raises a question: Does the White House want them to reveal what they heard and saw in the West Wing?
Cue Mr. Carney, who said Thursday, "I'm confident it's understood that when you work here or elsewhere in the administration it's an honor and a privilege and that those you are assisting and advising can best rely on your assistance and advice when it's discreet."
Late Thursday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.) tweeted: "I think Bill Gates hurt his rep as a stand up guy by eschewing loyalty and cashing in before end of former boss's term." Mr. Murphy quickly corrected himself: "Typed too quickly. Bob Gates. But I'm sure Bill wrote a tell-all I disagree [with] a little too."

Economic Impact
Goatsrue is now considered to be a deep rooted, long-lived perennial weed which propagates by seeds. In Chile, it is regarded as a serious weed in humid grasslands, where it may completely cover fields. The plant was introduced into Utah in 1891 for testing as a forage, where it presumably escaped and now occupies about 60 square miles in Cache Co. Within this area it infests cropland, fencelines, pastures, roadsides, water-ways, and wet, marshy areas (Evans and Ashcroft 1982).
Galega officinalis contains a poisonous alkaloid, galegin. The plants have a bitter taste and are unpalatable to cattle and horses. The common name, goat's rue, indicates its toxicity for goats, causing vomiting and even death under some conditions (Allen and Allen 1981).
Tingey (1971) listed several methods of controlling goatsrue, including the use of herbicides; cropping, cultivation, and crop rotation on tillable land; and mowing in patures. But, Evans and Ashcroft (1982) stated that "mowing, clipping, cutting, and shallow cultivation are poor means of control, as the plant will flower and produce seed even when very small."
Explanatory Notes
Tingey (1971) reported that the growth habit of goatsrue is similar to that of alfalfa, but unlike alfalfa, the pods are narrow, straight, round in cross section, and about 1-inch long. They also stated that the seeds resemble those of alfalfa, but are much larger.
Wild licorice (Glycyrrhiza lepidota) may be confused with goatsreu, but wild licorice has solid stems [vs. hollow ones], and stipule lobes only above the point of insertion [vs. 1/2 sagittate], and the pods are burlike with hooked bristles [vs. linear-cylindric and smooth] (USDA-APHIS mimeo, w/o date).
Chamberlain (1970) stated that variants [of goatsrue] with dark purple standards and pale wings and standards [?keel] have sometimes been treated as separate species, G. patula Stev. or G. bicolor Hausskn. These names are now usually listed in synonymy under Galega officinalis.

Asset Management Systems help impact the bottom line
Data and life cycle management technology helps refineries maintain equipment and reduce the total cost of ownership.
By installing comprehensive asset management programs, facilities can evolve from reactive planned maintenance to strategic predictive maintenance, minimizing emergency shutdowns, downtime and operating budgets while maximizing production and equipment availability, system visibility and the efficiency of maintenance resources. Combined with expert knowledge and industry experience, asset management programs are a powerful way to impact the bottom line.
A new asset management program is available that is an evolution of the traditional pump equipment manufacturer's capabilities and goes beyond simply selling equipment.To learn more about the new asset management systems available to help reduce total asset life cycle costs, read the Asset Management Systems article or visit the Flowserve Services & Solutions webpage.

Sorry about the hiatus guys. When I made my last thread and attempt at a return, I was in the middle of a monumental break-up that was seven years in the making. For some reason, I found myself shitty drunk and coming back to all of the things I did before I got swept up into the wrong girl (including posting on here and masturbating into a sock). As emotional rap fans, I'm sure you know how that goes and nothing more needs to be said about that.
So what's new, gang.... Someone get Bandini, Dan Shay, Futurist, and Eltron in here.... I miss you all, my lovers.
Fuck that Icarus guy, though... what was that dude's problem!?!
Who did I forget? I dunno... I would look back at my post history, but the last time I did that I was overtaken by two conflicting emotions. On one hand, I was great. On the other hand, I had tragic moments of drunken embarrassment.
I love that this bickering nonsense and absurd show-offy mess is still here, though. It's the closest thing I have to a shitty diary and if this message board is ever deleted I will die a little bit.
I hope you have back-ups of this stuff, Sage.
Anyone here want to get into a 15 page shit-talk? It's been so many years....

Welcome back to the ghost town. Most of the usernames you mentioned haven't posted here in a long time, it's probably been at least a couple years since I've seen Dan Shay or Bandini post on here. I'd like to see things get a little more active here myself, there was a very small resurgence in the lead up to Sage's newest album dropping, but it seems to be dying back down again. Maybe you can stir up some trouble and get some of the old posters back again, I'd personally like to see that.

Ah, yes, icarus. No one should fault you for your words against him considering your absence, but you should know icarus was tragically killed in a sex accident following a star trek convention last summer. they ended up having to close the radisson where it happened after numerous guests reported a ghostly presence whispering feminism theory in their ears as they were trying to sleep. the lady klingon was cleared in the case, but I've always wondered if there was some element we missed in his death, something that left him in spiritual turmoil and unable to leave the living world behind.
Someone here had mentioned you left the internet to live in a cave where you were being treated by a voodoo witch doctor for advanced syphilis. I imagined Werner Herzog finding the cave after you died and making a movie about your last great work which was written on the cave walls in pus. It's good to know that wasn't the case and you were just masturbating into socks and whatnot.

The Great Bandini, ladies and gentlemen! I've missed you, pal... if I knew how to send a private message on this thing with a means of contact, I would. I don't, though.... I don't know how.
I don't even remember how to post pictures that immediately put into context why the previous message was full of shit to me. This is going to be a problem for all of us, you know?
But, at least I lured Bandini out of the darkness. Now where are the rest of these fuckers? Let's get the band back together, this is ridiculous around here.
Who is next? Get Dan Shay on the horn, I'm going to say something offensive soon and I need him here to explain to me in an overly-complicated way why he is smarter than I am.
Again, I love you Bandini. Let's try to make this message board work again for like a whole week before we both give up on it and go back to reddit.

Dan and I are roommates now and he just told me he'd love to reminisce, but unfortunately he cannot access the internet at the moment due to a court order. We both have very fond memories of you and actually brought you up in conversation last night when we were making flan.

I'm going to deeply dissapoint. I don't live with my parents anymore smoking too much weed and dropping out of multiple liberal arts programs and I'm invested in the system so hard that my former rebellion has turned into concern that people might rock the boat hard enough to effect my 401k.

I'm not disappointed. Both of my parents are dead and the dreams of a free basement sounds pretty wonderful right now. I never thought you were a liberal arts student to begin with -- I always took you for some half-crazed ITT technical institute, technical madman with a soldering iron in one hand and a weird book written by a guy with wild hair and wilder eyes (speaking on the real, insidious reason behind the electoral college) in the other.
At least we are all here together now. Let us never forget how awful we were and how awful we could be again.

So its Dad now is it?
Guess you finally found that pack of smokes you went out for all those years ago huh?
I dont remember much about you. Mother stopped talking about you awhile back. She used to beat me coz our eyebrows were the same. I started shaving them in my teens, not only as a way to stop her outbursts, but also coz I didnt wanna look anything like you.
YOU whos only advice before he left was some drunken ramblings about the importance of beard care.
YOU who came back before, promising everything was going to be better again, only to dash the familys hopes one more time and catch the first monorail outta town.
Poor little T-Wrex made you a finger painting of a giraffe and you never came back to collect it.
A GIRAFFE! Do you know how hard it is to get those proportions right? Not very, its just a horse with a long neck and a horse is just like drawing a big dog but T-Wrex CAN'T FUCKING DRAW DOGS!

Hello folks,
Please forgive my ignorance since I am a total newbie. Here is my situation -
I have installed the latest version of PMS on Linux Mint 15 and I am trying to play videos on my PMS from my windows 8 laptop using VLC/XBMC/Plex/Windows Media Player etc.
All of them can see (some) folders but NONE of them can play any of the videos.
I also see that the WMP.conf file has video = false, audio = false , is there a reason why it is set like that? If I edit them to 'true' will it play using WMP?
Please let me know if additional information is needed.
I am at my wit's end trying to google, search this forum.. i dont understand what the problem is...
Any and all your help is greatly appreciated....

Thursday, March 28, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Richmond County Sheriff's Office will be conducting a checkpoint on West Wheeler Parkway Thursday afternoon to look for tips in a string of recent break-ins.
Deputies will begin canvassing the area around 5:30 p.m. Along with the checkpoint, deputies will be going to door to door to 1,300-plus homes in the area.
Approximately 60 deputies will be participating in the canvass, handing out fliers and asking for information.
The Sheriff's Office is offering a reward of $2,000 for information leading to an arrest in these burglaries.
Maj. Scott Peebles says about 100 break-ins have happened within the past 15 months. Peebles says the purpose of the canvas is to increase awareness and to try to ask folks if they've seen or heard anything that could possibly lead to arrests.
Here is the information from the fliers being handed out by the Sheriff's Office:
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is investigating a high number of residential break-ins (burglaries) in your area and is committed to addressing this issue. As such, we are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person/s responsible for burglaries in the West Wheeler Parkway Area. We need your help!
Basic facts:
How to help:
You will see an increase in patrols in the area by uniformed officers and/or investigators. If you are approached, do not be offended. Our officers are working hard to get to know the people in the community to help combat this problem.
How to protect yourself:
Do hide any jewelry in places that would make it difficult for thieves to find. If you have large amounts of jewelry, do not hide it all in the same location, but rather in many different places. If one hiding space is discovered, not all items will be lost. Consider using a safe deposit box for seldom worn expensive or heirloom jewelry.
Do record serial numbers of all electronics, firearms and other like items. Having make, model, physical descriptions and serial numbers greatly increases the likelihood that your items may be returned to you if they are stolen.
Do record details and photograph high-end jewelry items, coin collections and other valuables. Having appraisal reports done is also a good idea, but be sure to use a reputable jeweler.
Do install tracking programs or applications on all of your smartphones, tablets, desktop and laptop computers.
Do get to know your neighbors and have contact numbers for them. Know the routines in your neighborhood (yard workers, deliveries, pest control). You will know when something doesn't look right.
Don't take your personal security lightly. Consider incorporating CCTV or Scouting cameras to your residential security plan. Analyze your surroundings and look for the weak / blind spots.
If you have any information, call the Richmond County Sheriff's Office at the (706) 821-1080. Callers may remain anonymous. Tips can also be emailed to email@example.com.

Democrat Nancy Copenhaver, who formerly served in the Missouri House from 2001-2003 in the old 22nd District, hopes to represent the newly-formed 47th District in Jefferson City. The district will include southern Moberly and Randolph County – including Renick and Higbee. Northwestern Boone County, including Harrisburg, along with parts of several wards in northern and western Columbia and Rocheport are also included. The approximate eastern third of Howard County, a strip of Cooper County east of Boonville including Wooldridge, are also within the district lines.
"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to run in the new 47th District, which has so much of the district I served before," Copenhaver said.
Copenhaver served in the Missouri House from 2001-2003 as a Democrat in the old 22nd District which, at that time, included all of Randolph, northwestern Boone, northern Howard, and southern Chariton County. She finished a three-year term on the Moberly City Council in April, having previously served on the Council from 1996-2000 as well as 15 years on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Copenhaver retired from a 28-year career as a business teacher at Moberly High School and worked for 2 ½ years as Deputy County Clerk with the Randolph County Commission. She was a charter member and has been an active leader in the local League of Women Voters for over 35 years, and has served on a number of statewide boards of civic, educational, church and progressive groups. She is a member of Coates Street Presbyterian Church where she has served as an Elder and Deacon and has been married to her husband, Paul, for 37 years.
I truly enjoy campaigning, meeting people and discussing the issues that are important to folks in this area. Working in the State Capitol is an awesome job – and a huge responsibility. I look forward to having that opportunity again," she said.
The candidate sees her hopeful job as three-fold. Firstly, she believes in constructing and managing the state budget in a way that allows for appropriate stewardship of taxpayer money. Second, Copenhaver views wise legislation as key to maintaining a healthy and smooth-running state goverment. Third, she hopes to be an advocate for the citizens of the district in their interaction with the various departments of state government.
Education is also a cornerstone of her campaign.
"Education is the backbone of economic development, maintaining the middle-class, and ensuring the future of our state – which has not been the case in recent years. Our state has an excellent business climate, is a healthy and safe place to live, and it is time to ensure that opportunities exist for future generations of Missourians," she said.
"I'm running again for state representative because I want to continue the programs that make our community a good place to live and raise families—and look for ways to improve opportunities for all our citizens. Quality education in a safe environment, including affordable access to higher education is important in training tomorrow's citizens. Good safe roads throughout our district (and the state) are critical for businesses and consumers. We need continued economic development to increase the number of high quality, high paying jobs to provide opportunities for our children to stay in our community and attract others to locate here," Copenhaver said.

The Sierra Sands Unified School District Board of Education voted 4-0 Thursday to approve the district's practice of utilizing California Multiple Award Schedules and Western States Contracting Alliance as its first choice for purchases and acquisitions.
"Generally speaking, we try to get the best prices for items that we buy," said Superintendent Joanna Rummer. "Both of those organizations are specific to going out to bid, and if something is a favorable price, other schools can use those bid prices and not have to go out to bid themselves."
She said the district has been told it is important for the board to authorize or approve that method so it can continue to do that, and it is documented that the board approved that.
For many years, the Sierra Sands Unified School District has employed the practice of using CMAS and WSCA as its first choice option whenever possible for its purchases and acquisitions.
Rummer said the expected financial impact for the district is the ability to purchase/acquire items which have already been screened for appropriateness, economy and efficiency.
Boardmember Kurt Rockwell asked if the board has ever taken action on this.
"We have not done this particular motion. We've been using the practice," Rummer said. "As we go through different audits and practices change, they feel it is more appropriate to have the board authorize us to use this practice so this is on record that we are allowed to do this."

Dallas-based Telligent founder Rob Howard predicts social media shift by businesses after Instagram fiasco
Rob Howard, founder of Dallas-based Telligent, today said the Instagram fiasco earlier this week will drive more companies to create private networks to avoid clashes about what is considered public and private in the social media world.
On Tuesday, the popular mobile photo-sharing app Instagram backpedaled on a plan to sell users' photos to advertisers after an outcry on social media and privacy rights blogs. That was shortly after it announced policy changes for January related to advertising.
Howard is not completely unbiased. Telligent develops software to build and manage social communities.
Still, that may mean that he also has more insight into what companies and organizations think about social media. Telligent's social communities software customers include Microsoft, Starbucks and Texas Instruments Inc. (Look for my story on TI's social communities next week).
After the Instagram flap, brands will look "more critically at public social communities," said Howard, who is Telligent's chief technology officer. "Organizations realize they want to own the data and be able to control their brand," he said.
Instagram lets users edit (using various filters to give them borders or a retro look) and share photos via smartphones. The free service is trying to figure out how to generate revenue for new owner Facebook. It does not run ads.

Netflix Shares Surge as New Subscribers Support Growth Plans
Netflixes rose as much as 44% Thursday, hitting their highest level since 2011, after the online video service's surprise quarterly profit renewed investors' faith in the company's aggressive expansion plans.
Shareholders appeared caught off guard as the Los Gatos, Calif., company reported a better-than-expected addition of 2.05 million new domestic subscribers to its video streaming service. Netflix still fell short of reaching its original goal of gaining 7 million U.S. customers in 2012, missing it by 1.52 million, but its surprising profit of $8 million in the fourth quarter proved the company can still make money even as it spends heavily to acquire new content.
Shares traded 43% higher at $147.23 early Thursday, hitting a 16-month high. The stock has nearly tripled since August.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn was certainly a big winner among Netflix investors after he reported a 10% stake in the company in November, buying shares at around $58 a share. Mr. Icahn at that time suggested Netflix might offer an attractive acquisition target to more well-capitalized companies.
Netflix's share price Thursday made that takeover option more difficult after its sudden surge added nearly $2.5 billion to the company's market value literally overnight, now totaling $7.8 billion. Netflix remains richly valued, with a price-to-earnings ratio 185 times its expected earnings.
Chief Executive Reed Hastings tied the company's better-than-expected growth directly to its spending on new films and TV shows, describing a "virtuous cycle" of expanding content attracting new subscribers, which in turn allows the company to keep growing its library.
"What propels our growth is that continuing content," Mr. Hastings said during the company's Wednesday conference call. "We'd like to get more movies, we'd like to get more prior-season television, we'd like to have more originals."
The company attributed much of its end-of-year growth to holiday consumers snapping up tablet computers and smart TVs, both of which make it easy to sign onto Netflix's $8 per-month streaming service.
"Netflix is a primary beneficiary of the shift toward mobile devices," J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth wrote in a note to clients as the investment bank upgraded Netflix's stock to overweight, a bullish rating. "We believe the proliferation of tablets–especially low end devices with greater portability and more attractive price points–has led to incremental viewing for Netflix subscribers and improved the overall accessibility of the service.
"Netflix has invested heavily in new content over the past year, planning three original programs including a reboot of the critically praised "Arrested Development" series. The company in December signed a three-year licensing agreement for Walt Disney movies worth an estimated $300 million a year, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The deal proved Netflix's intent to compete seriously against pay-TV channels like Time Warner HBO and Starz. Online rivals such as Amazon have quickly added more content of their own, a concern that caused many analysts to warn Netflix's dominant status in media streaming would soon give way to a more competitive–and less profitable–environment.
Netflix sought to disprove that idea by comparing its 200 most popular TV and film titles last quarter with content on Amazon Prime, Coinstar's Redbox Instant and Hulu, reporting 113 titles only Netflix could offer.
"Today in the United States, Amazon Prime's content has started to be mostly a subset of ours and is," Mr. Hastings said Wednesday. "I think over time there's a pretty good likelihood that we'll compete like we compete with HBO. That is, we'll all have different shows and all be competing for dollars and attention, but not have the same content."

Global Diversity and Inclusion
A Message from our Global Diversity and Inclusion Director
This is an exciting time—one that is rich with opportunity to expand our vision to help Intel become the industry leader in diversity. Our focus in 2010 will be to globally assess our workforce and address issues that extend beyond a U.S. point of view. Our success will depend on our ability to identify areas of greatest need, serve as trusted advisors across the corporation, and deliver high-impact programs that help create an inclusive work environment.
We intend to demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion in more creative ways that enroll, engage, and inform our employees with a focus on building individual and organizational capability. We stand poised to engage each other in conversation, community events, and knowledge sharing, which will result in strengthening the bonds and narrowing the divide between different cultures and ways of life for employees at Intel.
We work closely with our Black, Hispanic, and Women's Leadership Councils to facilitate employee engagement, development, and retention at the senior levels. In addition, we are implementing a new employee group strategy that speaks to the current state of employee opportunities for connections and the emerging global demand to expand into
new geographies and focus areas.
We seek to attract the best talent, and once at Intel, we work hard to ensure that every employee has opportunities to thrive and make it to the top without cultural, gender, or racial barriers to impede their progress. I am excited about the opportunities for us to continue to help Intel achieve our vision of becoming the industry leader in diversity.

The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
Nice appartment, in the center of the city, near to all the nice spots in Prague.
The pickup in the airport, was nice, arrangede by Alex and Anastasia. But the transfer from appartment to airport, was not a sycces, we waited for the transfer and nothing happend, i call the office, and they forgot to arrange the transfer, even i send an e-mail the day before, to confirm the transfer, but no respons.
For familyes with kids, have in mind, there are nightclubs in the same street.
But all in all a nice holliday.
Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!
As we arrvived, Alex gave us many and really good information about Prague and about the apartement neighborhood (where to breakfast, what to visit etc.). So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
We were 10 people and visited Prague for a weekend trip. As we arrived late on Friday, we picked up the keys in a locker which was very comfortable. The flat is really good located and we could reach everything easily by feet. The flat was very clean and modern. All of us liked especially the shower ;)
We had a very nice stay in Prague and all 10 of us were really satisfied wih the flat. I can recommend it for bigger groups as there are 2 bathrooms and enough space for all.
Thank you!
Excellent and spaceous appartment. In city centre, 45 seconds walk from Wencesas Square, reasonably close to the subway station Mustek. Supermarkets and plenty restaurants in walking distance. mini market and nice coffee place, 20m outside the appartment.
I went there with my family of 6. All the kids had a double bed! I would go there again. Also excellent reception by Alex from Ruterra
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was a wonderfull stay in this great appartment. Very clean!

2 am to 3 am thanks
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh"""kaaa dunkkkkkkk.drrrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssssssssshhhh
at this point Eggplant is upside down in a compact vehicle...
due to the fact he was going 70 around a serious corner in
the Hanover Mall parking lot in Hanover,MA.
the car crashed upside-down with me in it.
and i was rolled upside-down un-scathed.
i rode the crash out like a slam from back in the day...in my jaded mind.
i crawled out of the car upside-down still and exited to stand upright and look at the car still on its roof with the tires spinning...there were beers scattered around too.
i collected the beers and threw them in a nearby river and
returned back to the wreck to find the car still upside-down on the side of the road.
im looking at the car upside down and then i look to my right and see a car coming.
i think its a cop but im not sure at all yet,
then the car passes me and its actually a bronco,
and it stops after seeing me....
suddenly the passenger jumps put of the bronco and looks at me and yells'''
Kevin?????,Killilea...what the fuck did you do?!!!
and i say ...NUDGE...I FUCKED UP MAN>>>HELP ME GET THIS CAR BACK OVER ON ITS WHEELS!!!!
old friend Dan Nagerean or Nudge hasnt seen me in 4 years until this.
Nudge:Are you fucked up...are you on coke??
Eggplant X:Noooo...Dan i swear i was just drinking...it was Kristin...she wouldnt drive to Kingston."...
Eggplant X:"I need to get this thing back over!!!!!!!!!!!"
at this point it becomes crazy...
next thing i know two huge motherfuckers jump out of the bronco and come over to me and Dan Nudgerean standing next to my upside-down car...
we all start rocking it....rocking it,,,,,,
the fucking thing tipped back over on its wheels...
EggX:thanks Nudge!"
DanNuderean:"what the fuck"
i hopped in and drove the smashed car away from the crime scene

hmm lets see, I was born in Spain , moved to usa when I was 3months old, the plane flight fucked up my hearing in one of my ears.
was in those classes for smart kids from begining of school till 6th grade.
was mad fun of everyday in 6th and 7th grade because i listenend to "metal" and i lived in houston.moved to the dallas area in 7th grade, made friends with all the skater kids and started helping them steal ciggerettes, which in turn started me on smoking. stole almost everyday till 10th grade, didnt really matter what just aslong as i walked out the store with something, threw away most of what i stole. my parents took me too a bunch of different pyschiatrist and therapist in elementary and middle school because of the pictures i would draw . quit ciggs in 9th grade, but started on weed and beer. havent stopped that. went threw a phase in 10th and 11th grade where i would do any drug that was offered or could get a hold of. i have a whole lot of trouble having conversations with people i dont know for a long time. my best friend was murdered in 10th grade, had 3 more friends murdered or commited suicide before highschool was over. unfortunatly still smoke pot every day almost. i listen to reggae,punk,metal,hiphop,electronic, country and pretty much there is atleast 1 or 2 people or groups i like in every genre of music. havent had a girlfriend in about 3 or 4 years. have had 2 consistent dreams with a 3rd semiconsisten, #1 i am able to jump extremly high distances and just run and jump around the country. #2 im in a library or bookstore and my vision is very blurry and when i cant talk. #3 my teeth fall out, i put them in my mouth and they go back but then fall out again.sorry i guess this isnt interesting, but i like to talk and its very hard for me to express myself in person . oh yeah, and out of all my friends now i think only 2 of them accually like me and all of them probably wish i would hurry up and move to colorado

I haven't posted more than once in the past few months, and this thread makes me feel extremely good knowing people share problems, similar or different ...it's comforting, so here's mine.
I love my mom more than anything or anyone on this entire planet. I don't think it's even emotionally possible to love someone this much whichout imploding or something crazy like that, but I do. She could be the exact definition of beauty. Nothing could ever change the fact that no one will come close to comparison of how precious she is, and I will never love anyone as much as her. Everything seems like shit compared to her. And it fucking sucks I haven't seen her in 14 years and never will again. I regret every moment leading up to and during that chunk of time that caused that statement to be true.
My mom only dated drug addict alcoholic mexicans, which is what my dad is. They were split up and seeing other people (another druggie alkie mexican for my mom, who also beat us both and has been jailed many times for molesting the neighborhood children of my old neighborhood, even to this day) by the time I was born.My dad would come around for visits to see my mom and me, and my mom's brother who lived in our basement. He'd beat her and me, hide drug money and drugs in our house, blah blah blah. My mom decided she loved herself and me to much to let him keep doing that to us and stood up for herself. A short while after that, 4 months after I turned 4 of Dec 2nd. 1988 my dad broke in to our house with his friend and beat my mother for 4 hours before murdering her. I saw him do it. He was never convincted and still walks free 14 years later b/c they can't trust a 4 year old to know who her dad is. His father was in prison for murder years earlier too. They've never tried to contact me but I hear he's dying from alcoholism ...thank god. (His sister in TX is the only one of their family that talks to us b/c she took our side on the whole murder case).
Since I was 4 I've lived with my mom's parents, and over the years, 7 of my moms brothers and sisters who have all moved out by now.
When I was 9 I started smoking cigarettes. By 13 I was drinking and doing various drugs. I had a problem only with acid and weed. I grew out of both and am now only dealing with being an alcoholic and a speed fiend.
I was in the honor classes all thru elementary school. Left public schooling after my freshman year in high school. Went to a technical charter high school. I worked my ass off b/c music is my life and I wanted to start my life and career in it already so I graduated at 16 to start my schooling in the music world. Then I freaked out and decided to take a year off b/c I was only 16 and didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I regret that now b/c I coulda had my first degree by 17 and going on my second. *I plan on getting at least 3.
Between 13 and 16, my grandparents put me in the mental hospital 3 times. Once for bad behaviour and threatening to run away, once for being bulemic/anorexic and once for doing drugs and trying to "OD" and slit my wrists. I agreed each time to get out to see the therapist I saw from the ages of 4-8 for my mothers death. Each time I went once and got out of it.
Through growing up, my moms brothers and sisters have been like mine. Besides her, there are 4 boys and 3 girls. 2 of the boys are extremely addicted alcoholics, cokeheads, and do many other things like herion, etc, etc. They've graduated AA and NA about 9 times each over the past 15-20 years. One of them continues to make random suicide threates out of the blue by showing up in our backyard screaming trying to drown himself in our pool at least once a year. The other has awful heart problems and isnt expected to live past 40. The oldest boy who has a broken back (from smoking pot on his roof while his 10 yr old was home) is a steady pot smoker in his 40's. All of them have kids. None of the girls have gotten into drugs heaviliy but 2 of them are aspiring alcoholics and one married and divorced by 19. The youngest and myself have just been getting into the dangers of alcoholism with drinking constantly and hospitals.
I just got completely out of a 4 year abusive relationship in Sept. I met someone who helped me become strong enough to do that, after several people failed to succeed. We started dating. 3 months later he started cheating on me with some bitch named Bridgette and continues to do so unknowing of the fact that I've caught them well over 20 times. He thinks we're still together, and I'm NOT the mysterious person breaking in his car, keying it, pretending I'm "Bridgette" and handing out his phone number to guys at the club or shows, etc etc. I've come to the conclusion no matter what anyone does for you, or how wonderful they seem ...they will always screw you over if you let them to close. I like sex. Nymphomania is a fucking fun.
To sum up the rest quickly, b/c there is way to much more that I don't even want to get into ...for about 1.5 years I've been living back and forth with friends and at my grandparents. For the past 4 months I've only been home about 1 week total. I am now 18 and finally moving into a set home I can call MINE this weekend. I finally got a job after about a year of unemployment. I attend college at the Institute of Production and Recording in MPLS and hope to some day have my own studio and label, whatnot.
Music is my life. I meet most artists that inspire me b/c I bug their security, management, them, whatever until they agree to meet me. I hated rap and hiphop until I found local/underground hiphop about 5 years ago. I still hate rap. I love all other music besides techno and country. I hate ravers. I love Australian music. I love Australia. I love animals. I am a vegetarian since '97 converting to veganism slowly as I move out on my own. (No one supports this idea at all) I am an animal rights activist. I got into vegetarianism by an Australian band and into Activism when I was into the local hardcore gutter punk scene. I am not racist, sexist, agist, or prejudice in any way towards the human race b/c I hate you all the same and that will never change. I want to live forever but I never want to be cloned.
Thanks enough fun facts. I'm sleepy now. Thanks for still reading this if you are ...

I doubt anyone will read this since it's on the 6th page but i need something to do so why not type it.
I'm 17 and about to graduate high school, after which i plan on going to college and majoring in psychology. I'd like to be a psychological profiler or psychoanalyst, whichever is more realistic. I'm really opinianated and very cocky about my intelligence, i'm hoping i'll grow out of that soon. I also seem to have a patterned curse on my life.
When i was 3 my grandma on my moms side died. When i was 5 my grandpa on my dads side, who i was very close to, died due to hospital negligence.
When i was 10 my sister, brother, and i were taken away from my mom by D.C.F.S because she was considered unfit, my dad was in jail at the time for something involving alcohol, like usual. She got us back when i was 11 then when i was 12 my cousin died. He was riding his dirt bike in colorada and hit a patch of snow, he flew off the bike and landed on his head, cracking the helmet he was wearing in half and leaving him brain dead.
Between 12 and 15 my dad was in and out of jail, rehab, and halfway houses for his alcoholism, today he's recovering, sober for almost a year and a half. 4 months ago the curse came back when i was skating. I broke my fibula and tore all the tendons in my ankle, causing the inside bone to shift out of place. I had to have a metal plate installed to support the bone and make everything heal properly. In 2 more months everything should be healed but there might be a loss of certain motions, leaving my future with skating uncertain. Gping by the pattern something should happen when i'm 19, so i'll let you all know if it does.
I've been in and out of hip hop since about 96. My first exposure to it was my friends older brother and after that i started watching all the videos that MTV played. I "stopped" listening when i went through the whole "rap sucks" phase, because i started skating and rock was what skating was about. I would still catch myself rapping without knowing it. A friend of mine introduced me to atmosphere in 99 and since then i've been getting deeper and deeper into it. I guess i'm still a newjack but hey, the new jacks of today are the all knowing hip hop purists of tomorrow.
Let's see what else, i know this is really long, but i'm bored. I read a lot i took an english class this year called Worlds Greatest Novels just cause i knew there would be a lot of reading in it. I've been writing on and off since i was 11 or 12, but i've thrown everything away, i just recently started keeping stuff. Every english teacher i've had since 8th grade has been telling me that i have potential, but i really dont see it.
Thats about it, oh yeah, i met the first girl i thought i loved freshman year, nothing came out of it, but we're still really close friends.

Barrett Township police have arrested two people in connection with burglaries at the Mountainhome Diner and a residence and thefts of antiques and a vehicle.
Casey Clarke, 25, of Mountainhome, and Cory Jorgensen, 22, of Mount Pocono, were charged and placed in Monroe County Correctional Facility — Clarke in lieu of $55,000 bail and Jorgensen in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Police said Clarke burglarized the Mountainhome Diner on Route 390 late Monday night, breaking in through a rear window and stealing the cash register. Police said he was taped on surveillance cameras.
Police said Clarke and Jorgensen then burglarized a Mountainhome residence, stealing antiques they later sold at a Stroudsburg pawn shop, and stole the homeowner's 2011 Ford Escape from the driveway. Both will appear in district court at a future date.
Stroud Area Regional Police helped in the investigation.

- May 21:
- Super Bowl news a thrill for former San Francisco 49ers
- Super Bowl 50: Local leaders get ready for Bay Area's biggest party ever
- Super Bowl 50 to be hosted by San Francisco 49ers' new Santa Clara stadium
- Kawakami: NorCal pummeling SoCal in collective sporting game
- Mercury News editorial: Pop the corks, the Super Bowl is coming to Santa Clara
- Purdy: 50th Super Bowl will touch us all
- May 18:
- Super Bowl vote: 49ers, Bay Area prepare for NFL's decision Tuesday
- Super Bowl 50: Inside Tuesday's owners vote
- Super Bowl 50: Few cities get shot to host big game
The great news that the Super Bowl is coming to the Bay Area in 2016 is tempered around here with the knowledge that the NFL's already said the big game-related events will take place in San Francisco. (Except for the game itself, of course, which will be in Santa Clara.)
But that doesn't mean that Silicon Valley should be sitting this one out at all. We've got nearly three years to put together at least one huge event that can give Super Bowl fans a reason to explore the South Bay. And with that much lead time, the sky should be the limit.
Maybe the creative wizards at ZERO1 can help turn downtown San Jose into a giant tech and art festival for several days and nights. There could be a music festival headlined by the Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga of 2016, let's say. The best idea probably hasn't been dreamed up yet; this is Silicon Valley and new ideas are what we do best.
We won't be taking any of the spotlight off San Francisco, and that's fine. Let's just make sure that everyone who comes to the game remembers they came to Silicon Valley, too. And the clock starts now.
HOLIDAY SHOW: There are lots of "Bs" associated with Memorial Day activities in the Bay Area, with things like beaches, baseball and barbecue topping the list. What about ballet?
Ballet San Jose School is holding its spring performance Sunday at the California Theater in downtown San Jose. The program will feature the premiere of a few works by Dalia Rawson, a Ballet San Jose dancer for more than a decade who's now principal of the school, as well as new and classic ballets from senior faculty instructors Mads Eriksen and Le Mai Linh.
Junior students perform at 2 p.m. and the senior students at 4 p.m. You can get tickets to one or both performances at www.balletsj.org. And feel free to bring a beach towel if it completes your holiday ensemble.
CONCERT FOR A CURE: The Bay Area Lyme Foundation had a great debut May 12 for its inaugural LymeAid Benefit Concert, which featured rocker Daryl Hall -- who's currently fighting the effects of the bacterial infection.
More than 300 people attended the dinner and concert at Laird and Sherry Cagan's Portola Valley estate and raised more than $400,000 for the cause.

1. Met with Aristotle Isais
I hate commuting. I spent an hour in a bus that crawled through Makati and eventually broke down before the Makati Stock Exchange. Instead of hiking all the way to the MRT destination or hopping onto another agonizingly slow bus, I decided to take a taxi. Expensive, but more comfortable. I don't really trust taxis, though. Good thing this one was honest.
Because of that transportation mishap (I really thought I could take the bus), I ended up being slightly late. Good thing I called their landline, as Aris left his phone at home.
Might help him. Would rather his company found a way to keep the schedule or work with the constraints, but if push comes to shove, I'll help him out because he's my friend. =)
テーブルの下には黒猫がいた。 Under the table was a black cat.

2. Wonderful chat
Had a wonderful chat with Ranulf and Marcelle.
フランス語のCHATは英語のCATを意味する。 The French word `chat' means `cat'
quit When the quit statement is read, the bc processor is terminated, regardless of where the quit state- ment is found. For example, "if (0 == 1) quit" will cause bc to terminate. (Seen in the manpage for "bc". Note the "if" statement's logic)

An autopsy performed on a taxi cab driver killed this weekend confirmed that he died from a gunshot wound to the head.
The autopsy was conducted by medical examiner Dr. James Olson, who said 58-year-old William Roy "Huey" Huson's death was a homicide.
The man suspected of killing Huson was seen about 10:40 p.m. Saturday entering Huson's Valley Cab car near Howiee's on Front Street in downtown Medford.
Huson's body was found early Sunday in a field off Helo Way, and investigators said he was shot in the head and robbed.
The possible suspect was described as a white male with fair complexion, about 25 to 35 years old, 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 170 to 190 pounds, police said.
He was last seen wearing a black ball cap, a black Carhartt-style coat and jeans.
Anyone who saw a suspect matching the description or has other information on the case is asked to telephone Medford police at 541-770-4783. Tips also can be submitted anonymously online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Should I invest time in legendaries?
Posted 14 November 2012 - 03:48 PM
Posted 14 November 2012 - 04:03 PM
I'd say wait for the time being.
Not only are they changing how pre-cursor weapons are got (they mentioned scavanger hunt), but they'll be introducing new weapons, meaning one might also have the look you want.
Although, you could start getting Gold, Karma and Badges of Honour, since these seem a given.

1) Do you like any of the skins?
2) Do you want to spend the time for something with no better stats than highest-rated gear already in the game?
If the answer to either of those questions is no, then no its not worth it. But its something entirely subjective to yourself. For me, I don't really like any of the skins enough to warrant spending any time on them at all, so I won't get any of the current legendary weapons.
As of right now, infused weapons will not be in the game as of the next update. The only things that will have the ascended stats with the infusion slots are rings and a back accessory. Anet stated they will add more in the future, but for right now don't worry about it as no weapons or armor have the stats.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 08:24 PM
If you believe a skin is worth the time it takes to get, go for it.
I personally like nearly every skin, but as I don't have the time to work on them, I'm just sticking to regular exotics.
Posted 14 November 2012 - 10:55 PM
Personally, I'd not spend 250g on most of them so have no interest in spending 700+ getting one. I'd much rather not farm that much gold - especially as the weapon my main uses is a staff and I don't like that skin in the slightest. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get a legendary later on after I break the 1,000g mark and if they introduce a new cool skin but the current ones, at the current prices... zero appeal. That said, if you have the gold and really like one of the ones that are available to your class then sure, get it.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 07:30 AM
I would say focus on new content and wait new weapons and new legendaries then decide
Edited by Lucas Ashrock, 15 November 2012 - 07:30 AM.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 07:41 AM
More stat gear
Anet is "doing something" about the precursors (a.k.a impending price crash)
Don't go for a legendary until a few days after the patch so you know what's going to happen.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 08:40 AM
Posted 15 November 2012 - 12:11 PM
If you need to ask if you should invest in one, then the answer is no. You shouldn't spend resources on something that doesn't make you think "must have" the moment you see it, at least not on the level Legendaries are at.
There's nothing wrong with stocking up on mats now though.

do you really think they'll introduce new legendaries every like 2-3 months? i'm pretty sure its 1 set per year otherwise they wouldn't really be that legendary

I have no clue when but:
We will slowly add the remaining ascended gear items and legendary items in future updates to allow people time to acquire them as we add exciting new content that deserves exciting rewards.

I would start working toward one or two legendaries, slowly. At the moment, they are just flashy looking eye-candy. However, Arena Net announced that they will get a stat boost to be better than everything else and from that point on, remain better than anything else.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 03:51 PM
If that skin really appeals to you that much then by all means go get it.
If not then don't.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 04:00 PM
You will get it eventually.

^^^ A thousand times, this. Legendaries are, by Anet's own confession, meant to be a long-term goal. And the way they're currently set up, the amount of effort it takes to get one is proportional to how soon you want it. If you're cool with waiting a few months for it, its mostly a matter of not blowing your karma and of doing the right dungeons in the meantime.
