1. No one gets tags: 22:07
They suck. They all suck. I'm serious. There are a few good ideas, but generally they suck.
VerbDate throws the term "tag" around, but it, like, _so_ doesn't get it. Heck, there aren't enough users, so one of the 'popular' is "looking for a guy who can make me laugh and is not still living with his parents". There's no way to get a cloud of just the most popular - you have to know what you're looking for. There's no easy way to add to yourself. And here's the most brain-dead thing of all: you can't tag other people's profiles! No , no folksonomies, nothing. Zilch.
RogueConnect's stuck with its fashion focus. Not bad, but too visually-oriented for any real depth. Unless you're the kind of person who likes only Armani-wearing people, that is. Or at least people who say they wear Armani. The only interesting thing here is that the site creator's noticed people are more comfy blog posts than they are people, so that's something cool there. But aren't front-and-center on people's profiles, and they're anonymous. So no folksonomy for you, either.
ConsuMating _almost_ got it right with weekly polls and questions to encourage people to keep developing their profiles. Then the service shoots itself in the foot with its business model limiting you to 10 free messages per month, which naturally drives all these users to make their free communication tool, polluting the for individual users and making it imposssible to get a quick idea of someone's interests. Oh, you can't tag someone with a tag they already have, so you can't see who else thought someone was cool, so you can't follow the links to find out whom else _they_ thought was cool, so you can just forget about social filtering. Heck, you can't even pull up a list of the people _you_ cool. Not that there are ever any cool people on these social networking websites.
It's all messed up. And to think CNet actually bought consumating, sucky domain aside...
On Technorati: tagging, folksonomy
Random Japanese sentence: 犬か猫か鶏を飼うようにしなさい。 Try getting a dog, a cat or a chicken.
2. Should've brought a penguin: 22:14
Hooray for mindmaps, at least. And hooray for iPods, or I'd go mad.
Must find Web 2.0 person or other geek whom I can call up late at night to talk through these things.
On Technorati: rant
3. Argh, now Consumating's down: 23:38
4. Hooray for mindmaps and checklists: 23:40
I don't think linearly. I can't sit down and write something from start to finish. I jump around, I get distracted, I need to explain things to people (or penguins)...

United States and India to Cooperate on Clean Energy Technologies
President Obama meets with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the Oval Office of the White House.
President Barack Obama and India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh signed a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on November 24 for their nations to work together to speed up the development and deployment of clean energy technology. Noting that energy security, food security, and climate change are interlinked, the leaders entered into a Green Partnership to meet these global challenges. Both leaders also affirmed that the outcome of the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen must be comprehensive.
Under the new MOU, the two nations will launch a Clean Energy and Climate Change Initiative, with the goal of improving technologies to make clean energy more affordable and efficient. The initiative will include cooperation in wind and solar energy, second-generation biofuels, and energy efficiency, as well as unconventional sources of natural gas and clean coal technologies, including carbon capture and storage. The two nations will also mobilize public and private resources to invest in clean energy projects in India. Further, the two nations began an Indo-U.S. Clean Energy Research and Deployment Initiative, supported by government and private-sector funds. The initiative will leverage expertise from both countries and may cover such topics as energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, second-generation biofuels, battery technology, the Smart Grid, solar energy, wind energy, and micro-hydropower. It will also include a Joint Research Center operating in both countries to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies.
The United States and India also signed MOUs on solar and wind energy. Under the solar MOU, DOE's National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) will partner with India's Solar Energy Centre to create a comprehensive nationwide map of the solar potential in India. Also, more than two dozen U.S. and Indian cities will team up to jointly boost solar energy development. The wind MOU, between NREL and India's Centre for Wind Energy Technology, will focus on developing a low-speed wind turbine.

Silicon Valley companies plan to intensify their hiring activity this year and ease up on layoffs, an indication that the region's economy is poised to charge to higher levels, according to a closely watched survey released Wednesday by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.
This year, 59 percent of employers expect to add jobs in Silicon Valley, up from 46 percent with those intentions at the start of 2013. The CEO survey also found that only 4 percent of Silicon Valley companies intend to slash staffing levels locally, a marked improvement from the 14 percent planning cutbacks in 2013.
"The CEO survey shows that the strength of the tech sector means the direction of our economy is going up and to the right," said Carl Guardino, president of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.
"High tech, biotech, med tech, cleantech, financial services are doing well."
The survey, which drew responses from 222 companies, was conducted from mid-December through mid-January. Silicon Valley in the survey is defined as Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, southern Alameda County, and a portion of Santa Cruz County.
Although tech is helping spur the regional economy, economists pointed out that not all segments of the tech sector will grow at the same rate.
"Tech is not a monolith," said Christopher Thornberg, founding partner with Beacon Economics. "Software and tech consulting is solid. But there could be a bubble in social media activity."
Yet the upswing in the economy presents severe challenges for the region. Housing and transportation were cited by employers as top challenges for businesses and employees.
That has led to a shift of some jobs out of the region. The survey found that 19 percent of those surveyed moved some employees out of the state."Reduced labor costs and/or a more available labor force" were cited by Silicon Valley employers as the most important factors behind a shift of jobs out of California, according to the CEO survey.
Among the other finding in the survey: 43 percent of respondents said the new Affordable Care Act should remain in place, while 28 percent said the health care act should be repealed.
Silicon Valley's primary strengths were seen as access to skilled labor, an entrepreneurial mind set, proximity to customers and competitors, and world-class universities and research centers, the survey found.
Economists believe the tech-led surge in Silicon Valley, which began about two years ago, isn't likely to falter anytime soon.
"Silicon Valley is poised for further success," Guardino said.

Employers have robust hiring plans in Silicon Valley. Here are some highlights:
59 percent of employers intend to add jobs in 2014, up from 46 percent that had such plans in 2013.
4 percent of employers plan to reduce staffing levels in 2014, an improvement from 14 percent in 2013.
62 percent of employers added jobs in 2013, compared with 50 percent in 2012.
9.5 percent of employers reduced staffing levels in 2013, compared with 16 percent in 2012.

I hadn't given much thought to what happens to our social media presence when we die.
But then Facebook announced last month it was changing its policy around memorials. It got me thinking about my digital afterlife, and that how we want to continue on in cyberspace is becoming more important as our lives and memories shift online.
When someone we love dies, it's long been the job of survivors to do the hard, loving work of sorting through what's left behind, the letters, photos and possessions. We divvy up what's valuable and has meaning, but also give a thought to storage: If no one wants grandmother's 50-year daily food diary, can we throw it away?
Survivors now grapple with the question of what to do with the vast palpable online life the deceased has left behind, that is if they can get access to it. And, companies are struggling with finding the right balance between respecting a person's privacy settings and being sensitive to families and friends who are grieving.
There is no uniform federal law on how to treat digital assets such as social media, but five states have passed laws that include how to handle a person's digital assets. In 2010, Oklahoma approved a law, the first in the country, to give the executor of the deceased's estate the ability to access social networking, blogging and email accounts. California is not one of the states that has tweaked its laws around post-mortem social networking accounts.
All of this worries Irina Raicu, the director of Internet ethics at Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
"The way we use these services is like we used to use the phone, for casual interactions," she said. "That these are archived is new. I wouldn't want my mother to have an archive of all the phone call conversations I had in my life. They are meant to be ephemeral. But now we have this new problem we didn't used to have."
And besides, she says, we are entrusting our memories to companies. "It's no longer a box of letters or a video you leave in a drawer. You are leaving it to a company," she said. "It's all in a cloud. We are entrusting our memories to a company that makes no promises. I'm not blaming these companies. They are being put in the difficult position."
Online firms have differing policies for deceased users. Twitter will remove a person's account from "Who to Follow" but won't give families access to that account, according to an article in CommLaw Conspectus. A MySpace user's account dies with them. A deceased person's YouTube account can be accessed by heirs with power of attorney.
Last year, Google launched something called "Inactive Account Manager," for users to tell Google what to do with Gmail messages and other Google data should your account become inactive. For example, a Google user can choose up to 10 people to receive their data.
Then there is Facebook. The recent tweak to its policy is an effort to respect the person's privacy wishes. Now, when a person dies and their social networking page goes into "memorial mode," it will be publicly available if that is how the person had set up their page in life. Previously, Facebook only allowed "friends" to view the memorial.
"This will allow people to see memorialized profiles in a manner consistent with the deceased person's expectations of privacy," Facebook said in a blog post. "We are respecting the choices a person made in life while giving their extended community of family and friends ongoing visibility to the same content they could always see."
In the future, Facebook may want to consider giving people various post-life options when they set up their privacy settings, said Evan Selinger, an assistant professor at Rochester Institute of Technology.
"Once the change loses its novelty, users will be accustomed to taking this post-mortem issue into account when making their privacy settings," he said.
Hey, if they give me 50 ways to describe my gender, why not a bunch of options on how I want to live on perpetuity?
Of course, dealing with this issue is about personal preferences, and it's something many of us don't want to think about.
But I leave you with a positive spin.
The Internet has allowed us to bridge great distances and different worlds. It can help us bridge this moment as well, the greatest divide.

I could use some sunshine in this grey grey scenario.. How many times can kicks be directly at the keeper? Can no one find the corner? Should have been 5-0.......and its the same old sorry sorry sorry mess.
I rermain a loyal Red. Respect for the 96.But.......can we see some killer instinct please Brendan?
Johnson put in a pathetic effort , Very dissapointed in the lad. Even Luis was kinda uninterested. Only Steve tried to get the three points. Where oh where is our KILLEI INSTINCT? Where is it?
Too #$%$ off....sorry guys.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Got to have a laugh: "How many times can kicks be directly at the keeper?"
Did you watch the match Oscar, because it amazes me how good we must have been to have shot the ball directly at the keeper who was diving around making what most commentators called a world class performance.
Oscar..look at the muppet we call our manager on the touchline...does the image of this miserable looking muppet totally inanimate on the touchline inspire u ...just looking at him tells me where our killer instinct has gone..down the toilet FSG need to start the process of getting rid of this guy NOW because if hes here at the startof next season ucan write the season off mate.

Don't be sorry.. we were damn awful.. Rodgers needs to be held to account for not firing up the teamand for not having the right tactics for when a opponent parks the bus..

Horse around during Tryon's annual Holiday Barn Tour
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 1:31 p.m.
FENCE, the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center, is hosting a Holiday Barn Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Want to go?
What: Holiday Barn Tour
When: 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Saturday
Where: FENCE, 3381 Hunting Country Road, Tryon
Tickets: $15
Info: Go to www.FENCE.org or call 828-859-9021
It has been a tradition on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for 24 years.
Situated in Tryon, FENCE covers 380 acres. It's a nonprofit organization that focuses on educating and preserving the surrounding area, which Development Coordinator Theron Farmer proudly calls "horse country."
The event aims to represent the horses and barns in the Carolina foothills. The day starts off with horse exhibitions under a covered ring. This includes barrel racing, open jumping, dressage, driving horses, trained performance mules and fox hunting with Green Creek Hounds.
Dressage, as Farmer explains, is a demonstration of a horse's athletic ability and training through a series of tests and movements.
The Green Creek Hounds, meanwhile, were founded in 1988 by Tryon resident Margaret Secor in an attempt to get back to the traditional English roots of fox hunting in rural areas. The event will be catered by Foothills Mountain Bar-B-Que.
The highlight of the day is the barn tours, which start at noon and last until 3 p.m.
First there's the Derbyshire barn, a product of a new and growing English-inspired equestrian community in Tryon, with Christmas decorations, refreshments and holiday music.
Next there's Sara Lyter's HulinnaDalur Farm. HulinnaDalur is Icelandic for "hidden valley." Lyter's 10-stall barn is home to her Icelandic horses.
Finally, there's Wendell and MaryAnna Haymon's Marydell breeding farm, which features eight pastures and a 16-stall barn. MaryAnna Haymon will be on hand to explain the lineage of the foals, who have been bred for several years with German-based horses.
The annual tour attracts more than 300 horse enthusiasts. According to Farmer, "it's the start of the holiday season for the area!"
Admission is $15 and includes both the exhibitions and the self-guided barn tours. They can be purchased at FENCE the day of the event or in advance at The Farm House, Little Mountain Feed Supply and The Hay Rack on Highway 9 in Columbus and in Landrum, S.C., on Highway 14.
Visit www.FENCE.org for directions or call 828-859-9021. FENCE is at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon.

What does $915,000 buy you in the luxury housing market these days? Well, ask Joseph Di Salvo, president of the Santa Clara County Board of Education, who last week toured the 18th floor digs vacated by former county schools chief Charles Weis, who stuck the county with the condo now worth less than the board lent him to buy it.
The view from the corner condo was spectacular, Di Salvo said. But he was "underwhelmed" by the interior, where Weis said he spent $25,000 improving the then-new condo.
When asked about the flooring Weis reportedly had installed, Di Salvo replied, "It looks like a Pergo floor!" OK, faux-wood laminate flooring isn't so bad. But reflooring a 1,300-square-foot condo with it shouldn't come to $25,000. An online calculator we used put the price closer to $11,000.
Di Salvo added that maybe the electronic key fob was part of the upgrade. That's right: Weis sprung for an electronic thingamajiggy on his key chain that unlocks his condo at the push of a button like it was a car.
Weis, who retired June 30, left the fob with a secretary at the County Office of Education (without saying a word to his seven erstwhile bosses on the county school board) and retreated to his beachfront home in Oxnard. Now he wants to unload the condo onto the County Office of Education, which lent him the $915,000 for purchase, because he can't repay the loan or refinance the condo.
The board last week hinted it could move to foreclose, but would likely take a loss on the loan.
Di Salvo said the condo is now worth just $675,000 and called being stuck with the underwater loan painful.
Oh, and Di Salvo reported: Weis took the ceiling light fixtures with him. We couldn't get a response from Weis.
Santa Clara Valley Water District just can't seem
to get the details right
Wanted: Fact checker
Where: The Golden Spigot
Available: Immediately
Pay: $286 per consultation
Like the biblical plague of the locusts, the Santa Clara Valley Water District -- aka, the Golden Spigot -- has endured a remarkable run of bad facts lately.
First, district officials couldn't correctly count the number of words in their ballot statement for a parcel tax. They submitted 77 rather than the maximum 75. Then they were wrong on the date when the new measure would expire, saying 2029 instead of the correct 2028.
Both those inaccuracies had to be fixed at some cost to the district. But the errors keep on coming: On the website for the "Safe, Clean Water" parcel tax (http://yesonsafecleanwater.com/faqs), the Golden Spigot has the very first fact wrong. It says that voters first approved a parcel tax for water needs in 2001. The vote actually occurred in 2000. What's a year or two among safe and clean friends?
(Water officials did manage to get the right date further down, stating: "Since the passage of Clean, Safe Creeks in 2000, voter approved local funding has been critical ...").
Best-laid plans: Open
space board handoff
goes in another direction
Longtime Santa Clara County Open Space Authority Board member Garnetta Annable is passionate about her work representing District 4, which includes Campbell and Willow Glen.
Since her initial election to a two-year term on the board in 1994, followed by four additional four-year terms, she's happy to say that the district has acquired 15,000 acres of open space and another 800 in conservation easements.
In this case, she believes that longer term representation -- instead of frequent board turnovers -- helps the group implement major strategies.
So this summer, as she geared up to run for her fifth term on Nov. 6, and health issues threatened to derail her plans, she sought out Open Space Authority Citizen's Advisory Committee member Dorsey Moore to run if she could not -- and he agreed. Alas, their best-laid plans went awry after newcomer Benjamin Cogan threw his hat in the ring, his first ever bid for election to a board he admits he's not as thoroughly versed on as Annable.
Incumbents running for two other seats on the board, representing Districts 1 and 3, face no challengers, meaning their names will not appear on the ballot, sparing the district to have to pay at least $160,000 for each seat in ballot-related costs.
Hoping the same could somehow be maneuvered in her race, Annable, 66, asked to meet with Cogan in August and tried to talk him out of it.
"I want to make sure there are qualified candidates to run," Annable said. "And as far as I'm concerned Dorsey and I are the only two qualified individuals."
The 29-year-old auto mechanic, a Ron Paul supporter and former Eagle Scout, turned her down.
Cogan said he has no hard feelings. "It's fair to say there is going to be some cost to all of this, and she was trying to make sure I was really committed," he said. "It's her baby and she's spent her life doing it. But I think it's important to get new ideas and new blood into all the offices."
The ballot will include not only include Cogan's name, but Annable's and Moore's as well.

EL CERRITO -- With redevelopment funds in limbo, a citizens' group making plans for a new city library sees a bond issue as the most logical funding alternative to raise the $15 million to $25 million that will be needed for site acquisition and construction.
The city's existing library was built about 60 years ago and it's about half the size that would be ideal for El Cerrito, a city of about 23,500, said former City Manager Gary Pokorny, a member of the citizens' committee.
"We're saying it's time for the library to become a high priority and we think there's a high probability of passage if we take a bond measure to the voters," Pokorny said. "That may well be a strategy (the City Council) would want to pursue."
The eight-member group has investigated libraries built and renovated recently in Hercules, Lafayette, Orinda, Walnut Creek, Albany and Berkeley and identified features that a new El Cerrito library should have, Pokorny said.
"There are a number of new libraries around the county," he said. "We're trying to make people aware of what's possible."
A new building should include a larger meeting space and larger spaces devoted to events for children and teenagers, such as story hours and group research projects, he said.
"(Dedicated space for) upper elementary and middle schoolers would allow them to make a little bit of noise without disturbing the rest of the library's activities," Pokorny said. "Right now it all spills out into the rest of the library."
There is also a need for more and better electrical connections for laptops and more space to set them up, he said.
The group also has determined that a coffee shop with food service would also be an attraction.
"Lafayette, Orinda and Walnut Creek have coffee shops in or near their libraries," Pokorny said.
The current library's site, which adjoins the BART tracks at 6510 Stockton St., is too small for a new facility that should be about twice the size of the current building, he said.
The group has targeted a couple of other sites, including city-owned land on San Pablo Avenue north of the new City Hall that formerly housed a temporary city hall and the site of the old Portola Middle School, that is owned by the West Contra Costa school district.
"The Portola site could be an activity center with the library, along with the community center and swim center that are already there," Pokorny said.
Mayor Greg Lyman agreed that a bond issue would be the best way to pay for a new library, possibly supplemented by state or county grants.
"There are funding alternatives (to a bond issue), but I doubt they would cover the majority of the structure," Lyman said. "Without redevelopment, a bond issue is the most logical funding method."
A new library will be part of a final strategic plan now being developed by the city, he said. The City Council will hear a progress report on the strategic plan at its Jan. 26 meeting.
The website for the new library effort is at www.newelcerritolibrary.org.

I want to start running with my wife. She is a complete beginner and not quite as enthusiastic as I am. Anyone got any advise on how to get her pumped up without scaring her away from running and causing a divorce?
Run w/ her and stick w/ her the entire run. I know it may seem hard for you, but you can always go run more later. By running at her pace and walking with her with her when she needs lets her know that you're there for her. It'll help keep her motivated so you can eventually keep up with her! This will help build her up gradually and let her know that she doesn't have to kill herself in order to run with you.:D
If there's a good local running club in your area, might be a good idea for her (or both of you) to join it. That way you can share your enthusiasm for running, but she can proceed at her own pace and benefit from the support. Or perhaps do some training together at a local high school track, so you can each go at your own pace without pressuring the other.

As somone has already said- STICK WITH HER. Nothing makes me feel worse when I run with my fiance and he leaves me in the dust. If you aren't doing it together, what's the fun?
Absolutely agree, stick with her. My husband has been running for years 5-6 miles a day. I started running with him a couple of months ago. He obviously has a faster pace than I. It was very discouraging when he took off and ran ahead of me leaving me in the dust.. Of course, I shared my feelings with him. When we run together, we stay together. There is no substitute for the support and motivation I feel during those runs with my partner.
I just want to congratulate you on wanting to run with your wife. That to me says alot right there. I think my running would be way more fun if i had my husband to run with. But that said, I would just be her encourager. Like said before, run at her pace and if doesn't have one help her find it. If you are the one that has been running for a while teach her what you know. Make it fun and It'll be great. Oh by the way, if any one has any way to get my rugby playing husbad out with me, share away. Good Luck, Carri
Ran Cakes,
Congratulations on getting her out there with you.
Not knowing what your running schedule is this is a risk, but here is a suggestion.
She may enjoy a routine that has her going out with you around three times a week. Run with her the whole way during these days. This will still have you out and she will feel feel your sincere support on this new lifestyle choice of hers. On the other days you can still get your training in at your pace to meet your goals.
Help her be consistent and help her set some goals. Pick a 1 mile or 5K race in the future to target. She needs to know that she is part of the running communities. Give her all the support to help her through this transition time. Help here get to a place where she can enjoy "Staying on Top of the Ball".
Again, congratulations and good luck.
Paul828 http://community.active.com/blogs/p-dog
Hey! I run with my husband as well, and nothing is worse than when he keeps about a foot ahead of me. Since we are on a Marine Corps Base, I think he feels that if anyone were to see how slow we were going, others would think less of him. By keeping about a foot in front of me, he is showing everyone that he can in fact run faster than our speed.
With that said, when you run with your wife, don't worry about everything around you or what others may think. Sticking right by her side will make her feel at ease and not so pressured by the pace.
Hi Ran,
I agree with the other folks somewhat but I think the best thing is to ask her what she prefers. I love my husband to death and he wants to run with me all the time even when it's considerably slower than what he's capable. There are times however when I just prefer to run by myself.....its therapeutic and I can clear my mind more when I don't have to worry about him. I will say one perk was that he helped me to increase my speed by staying a little bit ahead of me and pacing me. I'd rather have him a bit ahead of me because it makes me work harder.
What's her inspiration for running? What makes her maybe not so enthusiastic? One thing that my husband and I now do is plan where we will do some 5ks....find some fun races down the line....examples....reindeer runs, st. paddy's day, etc. You can have a great weekend trip away to a new place while doing this little past time. Good luck to you guys!
Make the training ... her training. Not yours. I run marathons. My wife and daughter have decided to run/walk their first half marathon. Their time goal is 14 min/mile pace.
So I run in the mornings. In the evenings, we walk or run/walk however far she decides. It is her session, not mine.
On Saturdays, I get up early and run my daily 7 miles. Then she does her long session for the week, which is 7 miles. I carry the water, towel, monitor the watch for both her mile pace and her run length. I encourage her and support her. It is all about her.
Don't make it a competition. Put your ego aside. Be what she needs ... be her support system. You are in a great position to be there with her.
On Sundays I usually do my long run. 15+ miles. She rides a bike beside me ... carries the water and towel. She considers that her cross training. She helps me with my training ... I help her with hers. It is about helping each other reach our individual goals ... not about imposing our goals on each other.
I agree running should be a family sport and its a very easy sport for everyone in the family to get in to.:^0
The question is: does she want to run with you? When I got back from Iraq last time, I was glad to see that my wife had started running while I was gone. We ran together a few times and I thought she enjoyed it...you know, stayed at her pace, encouraged her, etc. She finally came out and told me that she preferred running by herself as she felt like she was slowing me down (Silly, actually, since at first I was so out of shap from the deployment that I struggled to keep up with her).
As long as your fitness goals are similar and she enjoys running with you, then go for it. My wife and I still do physical stuff together - hiking, cycling, swimming - but running is a no-no!

ADLER, Russia -- In the Olympic Village, Sharks teammates are now Sharks roommates.
Patrick Marleau and Marc-Edouard Vlasic discovered this fun pajama-party fact when they received their housing assignments upon check-in.
"He's a lucky guy," said Vlasic.
But which one snores louder?
"We don't know yet," Marleau said.
He was right. Monday was a whirlwind day for all the players from the NHL who arrived here on four different charter airplanes from either Newark, N.J., or Atlanta. The planes left Sunday afternoon and traveled overnight across the ocean before landing at the Sochi airport.
With the time change -- Sochi is 12 hours ahead of California -- all of the players' body clocks were telling them to sleep. But the Team Canada coach, Mike Babcock of the Detroit Red Wings, decided to schedule a meal followed by an evening practice.
"We wanted to keep them up, keep them awake," Babcock ahead. "That was the goal of today's practice. This way, they might be able to sleep through the night."
Snoring might be optional, but patience isn't. With the Olympic hockey tournament beginning Wednesday -- although the USA and Canada don't play until Thursday -- the concept of jet lag has been banned from all locker rooms here at the Bolshoy Ice Dome. Surprisingly enough, the Monday practices for all teams seemed pretty peppy.
After the Team Canada session, however, Marleau and Vlasic were visibly fatigued. That was even more the case for their Sharks comrade, Joe Pavelski, a member of Team USA's roster. His coach, Dan Bylsma of the Pittsburgh Penguins, held drills that didn't end until almost 10:30 p.m. local time.
"Smooth trip over," said Pavelski. "But I'm tired."
The following three pieces of information, however, will cause all followers of the beloved Los Tiburones to blink awake:
1. During the Team Canada practice session, Marleau was working on a forward line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks.
2. Pavelski's roommate in the Team USA quarters is defenseman Cam Fowler of ... that's correct, the same Anaheim Ducks.
3. Vlasic's defensive partner in the Canadian drills was Drew Doughty of ... oh, my, the Los Angeles Kings.
The Ducks and Kings, of course, are the two teams that Sharks fans most love, in the same way that all figure skaters just love all figure skating judges. Games between the Sharks and either of their Southern California rivals are always chippy or uber-chippy. In particular, Getzlaf and Perry are probably two of the most loathed opposing players to visit the Shark Tank.
But at least for the next two weeks, we've got the equivalent of ... what was that Bill Murray line in "Ghostbusters"? Dogs and cats! Living together! And wearing skates!
"It's a little bit weird," Marleau said of playing alongside the two Ducks. "But now it's same team, same goal."
For Vlasic, the situation won't be totally new. He and Doughty were defensive partners at the World Championships five years ago.
Marleau's assignment might also change over the next few days. The Olympic rosters have 25 players. That means two forwards must be scratched for every game. And at certain points in the Team Canada session, Getzlaf and Perry worked with John Tavares rather than Marleau.
Might this mean Marleau is one of Canada's potential scratches? Seems doubtful. His penalty-kill skills helped earn him a Canada roster spot. And during the practice he worked on what could become the team's top PK unit, with Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, Vancouver defenseman Dan Hamhuis and Vlasic.
Meanwhile, in Team USA drills, Pavelski centered a line with two Toronto Maple Leafs players, Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk.
It's all part of the quick-assembly package that every Olympic team faces here. The other Shark in the tournament, goalie Antii Niemi, is on the Team Finland roster but arrived too late for that team's 2:15 p.m. first practice. Finland is stocked with great goalies, so it's undetermined how much playing time Niemi will receive.
But at least all hands (and sticks) arrived safely. With terrorist threats here a well-publicized story, the NHL players were given a security briefing that consisted basically of cautionary advice when visiting certain parts of the area and recommendations not to wear conspicuous team gear.
Pavelski still felt safe enough to bring along his wife. Vlasic's wife and parents are all here. Marleau's wife decided to stay home with their three children under 7 years old. Thus, he brought along a childhood friend from Saskatchewan.
The Bolshoy building, capacity of 12,000, is expected to be full for most hockey games, given Russia's love of the sport. The tournament, with Canada favored by some observers and Sweden by others, should provide the same high-tempo quality hockey as seen in other Olympics with NHL players.
First, though, there was sleep. Stay tuned for any snoring updates.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
The 10 Most Prescribed Drugs
April 20, 2011 -- The 10 most prescribed drugs in the U.S. aren't the drugs on which we spend the most, according to a report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics.
The institute is the public face of IMS, a pharmaceutical market intelligence firm. Its latest report provides a wealth of data on U.S. prescription drug use.
Continuing a major trend, IMS finds that 78% of the nearly 4 billion U.S. prescriptions written in 2010 were for generic drugs (both unbranded and those still sold under a brand name). In order of number of prescriptions written in 2010, the 10 most-prescribed drugs in the U.S. are:
- Hydrocodone (combined with acetaminophen) -- 131.2 million prescriptions
- Generic Zocor (simvastatin), a cholesterol-lowering statin drug -- 94.1 million prescriptions
- Lisinopril (brand names include Prinivil and Zestril), a blood pressure drug -- 87.4 million prescriptions
- Generic Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium), synthetic thyroid hormone -- 70.5 million prescriptions
- Generic Norvasc (amlodipine besylate), an angina/blood pressure drug -- 57.2 million prescriptions
- Generic Prilosec (omeprazole), an antacid drug -- 53.4 million prescriptions (does not include over-the-counter sales)
- Azithromycin (brand names include Z-Pak and Zithromax), an antibiotic -- 52.6 million prescriptions
- Amoxicillin (various brand names), an antibiotic -- 52.3 million prescriptions
- Generic Glucophage (metformin), a diabetes drug -- 48.3 million prescriptions
- Hydrochlorothiazide (various brand names), a water pill used to lower blood pressure -- 47.8 million prescriptions.
The 10 Best-Selling Drugs
It shouldn't be a surprise that these generic drugs are not the ones bringing in the big bucks for pharmaceutical companies. The drugs on which we spend the most money are those that are still new enough to be protected against generic competition.
The IMS reports that Americans spent $307 billion on prescription drugs in 2010. The 10 drugs on which we spent the most were:
- Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering statin drug -- $7.2 billion
- Nexium, an antacid drug -- $6.3 billion
- Plavix, a blood thinner -- $6.1 billion
- Advair Diskus, an asthma inhaler -- $4.7 billion
- Abilify, an antipsychotic drug -- $4.6 billion
- Seroquel, an antipsychotic drug -- $4.4 billion
- Singulair, an oral asthma drug -- $4.1 billion
- Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering statin drug -- $3.8 billion
- Actos, a diabetes drug -- $3.5 billion
- Epogen, an injectable anemia drug -- $3.3 billion

PARI to hold Star Party, special evening during festival
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
During the N.C. Science Festival April 5-22, the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute at 1 Pari Drive in Rosman will host two area events and participate in several others.
"The North Carolina Science Festival is a multi-day celebration showcasing science and technology," said PARI Education Director Christi Whitworth. "The festival is an initiative of the Morehead Planetarium and is designed to encourage children to pursue science-related careers. It is also provides a positive environment for families and people of all ages to celebrate science in fun and welcoming settings. PARI is very proud to be invited to join in the statewide festivities and to sponsor events in our local area."
As part of the festival, PARI will sponsor a Star Party on Friday that will provide area residents an opportunity to view the night sky through PARI telescopes. PARI will also host a special evening at PARI April 12 that will commemorate the birthday of Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space. The evening will include a special presentation concerning manned space flight and, weather permitting, provide another opportunity for observations of the night sky.
Details for the PARI-hosted events can be found at www.pari.edu.

Save or Be Selfish?
In the last four decades, the way Americans save for retirement has shifted dramatically. Where once defined-benefit, employer-based plans made saving for retirement a matter of fact, today 401(k) and similar plans leave key decisions about how much and when to contribute up to individual households.
While that freedom of choice is alluring, there is overwhelming evidence that people today don't save enough for retirement. Experts typically recommend that people save roughly 10 percent of their current income. Yet of those whose employers offer a 401(k), when polled, about one-third report not contributing anything to it. Of those who do contribute, the average savings rate is about 6 percent — just over half the standard recommendation. Furthermore, people appear to understand they have a savings problem: about two-thirds of people say they should be saving more for retirement.
Why do people undersave even when saving is in their own best interest? The question has puzzled economists, who, when examining how people make choices about financial management, often frame their work around rational self-interest. This work invariably focuses on individual decision making, and that might contribute to the puzzle. "We should take seriously the fact that there are multiple people in many households," Professor Andrew Hertzberg explains. "Spouses, parents, children, and in some cases, extended family are all financially interrelated. Spouses share wealth, they may give money to their children or may contribute to their own parents or siblings."
Economists have shied away from thinking about multi-person financial decision making because of the complexities of modeling more than one person's behavior in a household. "For simplicity, economists normally assume that everyone in the household is either selfless or has exactly the same objectives," says Hertzberg, who reexamined that assumption. His new model makes it easier to study household financial behavior in a way that more accurately reflects how household partners interact and make decisions. In the model, Hertzberg considers savings as the outcome of a trade-off between each household member's desire to spend on her own wants and her concern for saving for the future. This trade-off is affected by the fact that even in the most well-adapted relationships, people are usually a little bit selfish. This matters because consumption is a way to spend on oneself, whereas savings is shared with a partner. "A couple may want and agree to save ten percent of their income each month," Hertzberg says. "But when one of them has the opportunity to spend a few more dollars on themselves, many people do so. And the result is that they undersave."
The severity of the undersaving problem is affected by factors such as what percentage of income is spent on shared public consumption — things like children, rent, or food that are essentially shared — or private consumption, like sporting goods or clothing. In general, a household that has a higher fraction of shared expenses will undersave less because the interests of the household members will be more closely aligned.
Hertzberg shows that one factor that can make the undersaving problem even more dramatic is spending on private durable goods, such as a sports cars or jewelry. His model predicts that household members will overspend on these items. Why is this? "Household members undersave not because of impatience, but because selfishness results in their undervaluing shared savings," he explains. "So the ability to spend a lot of money on a sports car that will provide me with pleasure for many years is the perfect way to redirect shared resources to myself."
The model may explain why the savings rate went up for households immediately affected by the passage of the Retirement Equity Act (REA) in 1984. Among making many other sweeping changes related to pensions, the law introduced a mandatory requirement that retirement account holders obtain spousal permission to withdraw or borrow against retirement savings or to opt out of employer sponsored life insurance programs. Until then, it was possible for one spouse to tap those savings or sign away benefits without seeking the permission of — or even informing — their partner. In including this feature in the REA, the government recognized that when a household is made up of more than one adult, financial decision making is — or should be — fundamentally a joint decision.
The savings rate increase after the passage of the REA suggests that one tactic households can use to increase their savings rate is to save in the form of assets that require joint approval to make withdrawals or borrow against. That's one reason that jointly owned housing can be a successful form of savings — one spouse typically cannot take a loan against the house without the partner's consent. Hertzberg's model could provide a basis for answering a related financial services question: how much would people pay to solve their undersaving problem with other types of savings commitment technologies, such as mandatory joint authorization?
Finally, says Hertzberg, the model reinforces the idea that members of households would be more successful at building savings and assets if they negotiated how much to save, rather than simply allowing residual funds — whatever they don't spend — to accrue.
One of Hertzberg's next projects builds on this research by considering how households set up their financial accounts and how that impacts subsequent financial decisions about savings, spending, and debt. This research might help tackle another long-standing puzzle in economics: why do people who have money in the bank — savings — also have debt on their credit cards on which they are paying interest? "For a single person, the rational choice is to pay off the credit card and save the cost of interest," Hertzberg notes. "But it might make sense in a household where members have individual credit cards. Credit card limits will act as a restraint on how much individual members will consume. A couple may choose to delay paying off the credit card because they know each family member would just go out and spend more."
Andrew Hertzberg is assistant professor of finance and economics at Columbia Business School.

If it stops them harrassing one mother at her childs funeral then fucking go for it.
As Mark said the WBC are legal eagles, they know exactly how far they can push it with out being arrested.
Yet, if they came to one of my family funerals with that shit, i'd be the one who would end up getting locked up.
Are they a soft target? Sure. But they've targeted people when they are at their weakest, harrassed families who have done nothing wrong & generally been another shit stain on the pants of the world.
Their entire message is hate.
They deserve nothing less.

A conflicting letter appears.
20 February, 2011
Dear Phred Phelps and WBC Phriends,
So we've been hearing a lot about some letter that we supposedly sent you this morning.
Problem is, we're a bit groggy and don't remember sending it.
Our best guess is that you heard about us on that newfangled TV of yours and thought we might be some good money for your little church.
You thought you could play with Anonymous. You observed our rising notoriety and thought you would exploit our paradigm for your own gain. And then, you thought you could lure some idiots into a honeypot for more IPs to sue.
This is not so foreign to us; as you may have heard, we trade in Lulz.
You just do not have enough to offer right now. While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.
But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become available in future.
Next time, don't call us. We'll call you.
Additionally, as your "Press Release" failed to understand: When Anonymous says we support free speech, we mean it. We count Beatrice Hall among our Anonymous forebears: "I disapprove of what
you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Do some among our number hate you and your cynical exploitation of your human rights for monetary gain? Of course. But the MoralFags are also the first to admit that they are, in fact, your rights to exploit.
In closing, let us assure you: We are not BAWWWING sissies, nor are we afraid of your false god;
we're just really busy. Stay tuned, and we'll come back to play another day.
We promise.
To the Media: Just because it was posted on AnonNews doesn't mean every single Anon is in agreement, in fact in this case it doesn't even mean a single Anon is in agreement. Next time, if you
could give us a few minutes to put all our paperwork in order, we'll be sure to let you know what we're up to. (LOL)
To Anonymous: It's a trap. They've got their ports wide open to harvest IPs to sue. Don't DDoS, and boycott Operation Westboro. If you really want to continue messing with them, just send them a few male prostitutes and faxes of goatse. Nothing more.

Looks like nothing for the moment.
Looks like maybe Westboro posted the original letter on Anon news, inviting an attack & getting some press coverage.
Looks like Anon has seen a trap.
Looks like there won't be any fun with them for now.
Which is a shame.

STANFORD -- Two weeks from the season opener, Stanford's tailback situation remains as muddled as it was when spring practice began six months ago.
A two-hour scrimmage Saturday morning did nothing to provide clarity. The Cardinal's final public workout of training camp was dominated by the starting defense, which stopped the No. 1 offense on the goal line and repeatedly smothered the tailbacks.
Of Stanford's 30 running plays, 21 gained 3 or fewer yards.
Kelsey Young, considered the ever-so-slight front-runner to replace Tyler Gaffney, was held out of the scrimmage because of a minor ankle injury. (He is expected back this week.)
Remound Wright, the most experienced tailback, missed the festivities because of a suspension. (He, too, is expected back this week.)
Barry Sanders and Ricky Seale were effective in spurts, but neither showed the consistency needed to shake up the depth chart.
"It's just how it is," coach David Shaw said. "We've got a group of guys who can all play. If we can get them to share time, and every time they touch the ball they do something special ... hopefully that will happen, and we'll get a lot of guys playing at a high level."
The stasis has created an opportunity for freshman Christian McCaffrey.
The son of former Stanford and NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey is one of the few rookies in contention for playing time this fall. He could be used periodically in the running game and regularly on special teams.
"I came in wanting to work my butt off," said McCaffrey, a 197-pounder from Castle Rock, Colorado.
"Sure, you want to play, but that wasn't my focus. I wanted to see what I could do and work as hard as I can."
His suspicion was that the defense stood tall.
"I feel great about where we are," he said. "The guys have taken it upon themselves to make sure there's no drop-off" from last year.
Kyle Olugbode, a former walk-on from Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose, has a slight edge at safety over Kodi Whitfield, according to Shaw.
"Last year, we were expecting a big jump, and he was close," Shaw said. "This spring, he realized his potential. He knows how good he could be, and he's put in the work."

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- News 12 is on your side with the latest traffic information in Richmond County.
Starting today, the outside lane of westbound Bobby Jones Expressway (between Deans Bridge Road and Gordon Highway), the on-ramp from Deans Bridge Road to westbound Bobby Jones and the westbound Bobby Jones exit ramp to Gordon Highway will be closed. The ramp closures will have on-site detours. These are expected to be closed until Monday. The Department of Transportation says to expect delays.
From Monday through Friday, a westbound lane of Bobby Jones (from mile marker 6 to Deans Bridge Road) will be closed while crews replace concrete. Traffic will be shifted to the inside lane.
Also on Monday, crews will be out mowing and doing shoulder repairs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A lane of State Route 56 (mile markers 10 to 11) will be closed for shoulder repair and State Route 121 and State Route 88 will have tractor mowing. This work is expected to continue until Thursday.
