Latin fur 'thief' is the root of ferret, which entered English from Old French fuiret. Ferrets are known for stealing birds' eggs, and this was probably why they got their name.

Sighting Details
Coming home from my brother's house in Somers Point, my brother pointed out a couple of "UFO"'s. Myself and his friend( who was in the passenger seat, I was in the back driver side) looked to the upper right hand side of the windows and saw to clearly visible sphere like object. At first sight they were about the size of a golf ball and looked as if flaming red,orange,yellow pulsating between the colors. We pulled over onto a side street in a small development. The objects made no sound and hovered straight at a steady speed. These objects were moving faster then jet airplanes as viewed from about the same distance. My brother took out his phone to record the event. At this time the objects were shrinking and then vanished. A man from the house on the corner came out to the street to ask us what we were up to. We told him that a couple of UFO's had just passed. He kind of laughed us off until from the same direction as the first two had appeared, another UFO followed, in the same manner, no sound, steady moving, very strange. I pointed up to the sky as my brother readied his phone. The man gave a quick glance and shrugged it off almost as if he had not seen anything and walked back to his house. While my brother was recording the object on his phone it did not appear to be visible on the screen. Well this was just plane bizarre, thought I. As we were getting back into the car, two more objects had come and gone in the same manner. We continued down the road a few feet and another set came out from the tree lines, same direction, but this time they were lower to the ground, about the size of a baseball now. They once again shrank in size but it seemed as if the prior vessel had veered of the course of the previous ones. Another ship then appeared and it seemed almost directly over our vehicle. From this angle I could almost make out that there was a larger vessel or field surrounding the orbs. We then, being slightly spooked, got into our car and drove away pretty fast. I, being in the rear, maintained visual contact with the object. This one did not follow the path of any of the previous vessels but seemed to follow our direction. As I watched that object I saw out of the corner of my eye another glowing. I at first assumed it to be a street light but on second glance noticed it was a sphere. This one was well below the others. It was about telephone pole height and back off in the distance a bit. This one appeared very strange to me. It was about the size of a basketball now and seemed as if it had a membranous layer or field over it. As the other ship I was originally watching hovered up into the sky and faded out of sight, this ship came straight up over the treeline and followed suite. This is my second positive UFO sighting. I believe in this type of phenomena, but am skeptical about just any strange dot in the sky being a UFO. These objects were very strange and most certainly Unidentifiable.

Health problems
Down syndrome causes challenges for kids and adults in a few different ways.
About half of babies born with Down syndrome have a problem with their heart. Some of these troubles can be corrected with surgery or with medicine. Some correct themselves as the child grows older.
Many kids with DS also have trouble with their vision and hearing. These, too, can often be corrected.
Kids with Down syndrome may learn more slowly than their peers. The condition can affect intelligence, but it's different with each child.
Most kids with the condition are able to learn all the same subjects and skills as their friends; it just may take them a little longer.
Swimming for a cause
Swimmer Karen Gaffney was on a relay team that swam the English Channel in 2001. She has won two gold medals in Special Olympics.
Five years ago, Karen swam the length of Lake Tahoe in Nevada – 9 miles in 59-degree water. She did it to raise money for the National Down Syndrome Congress and to show others that people with Down syndrome are more like everyone else than different.
On the surface
You may notice that people with Down syndrome look a little different from others. Their faces may be flatter, and their eyes usually slant upward.
Kids with Down syndrome grow more slowly than their peers. Sometimes poor muscle tone makes it hard for them to speak clearly.
Meeting the challenge
According to experts, most kids who start to get help when they're very young can achieve almost any goal.
They can run, jump, bike, swim or dance. They can do well in school and graduate from high school and college.
Adults with Down syndrome hold jobs, live on their own, and have romantic and friendly relationships.

By Bob Reinert/USAG-Natick Public AffairsSeptember 15, 2010
A pair of identical twin brothers from Maine, accustomed to challenging themselves and their exotic equipment and then airing the results on television, found much to their liking in a Sept. 13 visit to the Natick Soldier Systems Center. Geoff and Mike Howe, stars of "Howe and Howe Tech" on the Discovery Channel, came to Natick with a crew to film an episode featuring the Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) expected to air in November.
The brothers - best known for developing the "Ripsaw," the world's fastest unmanned ground vehicle - toured the Thermal Test Facility (TTF), the Soldier Systems Integration Lab (SSIL) and the Doriot Climatic Chambers. "We've been to a ton of (research and development) labs," Geoff said. "I must say that my visit here in Natick is by far one of my favorite visits. Personally, everybody is wonderful and extremely professional here. I'm completely blown away and impressed."
At the TTF, the Howes observed a CO2 laser demonstration meant to simulate the thermal blast of an improvised explosive device. Later, they watched a full-scale flame test on a uniformed-mannequin, simulating a Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) fire.
Then it was on to the SSIL, where the Howes saw how small combat units learn in a virtual environment to shoot, move and communicate.
A stop by the climatic chambers provided the most hands-on experiences of the day for Geoff, who donned a helmet and body armor and joined Soldiers running on treadmills in both the arctic and tropic test chambers. On camera, Geoff joked about the 30-degree temperature in the arctic chamber.
"It's like July, in Maine," Geoff said. "It's not a big deal." After a brief rest from the cold, Geoff put the gear back on and entered the tropic chamber, 70 degrees warmer than the other and with more than 50 percent humidity. He emerged from the chamber a short time later showing the effects of the effort.
"As a civilian, it's humbling," Geoff said. "When you watch ... our Soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan or wherever it may be, and they are laden down by this combat gear, you don't know how labor intensive it is. I didn't know. "It blew me away. I lasted 2 A,A1/2 minutes (in the heat) on a 15-degree treadmill. Typically, I can do a treadmill for an hour. It's profound and eye opening, and I think that every citizen out there should know what it's like. It's incredible. I'm glad I did it."
Turning to Sgt. Maj. John Poff of NSSC and NSRDEC, Geoff said: "It's good, sergeant major, that the U.S. Army has Natick and this facility to be able to test these uniforms and different devices and apparatus."
"The whole mission of Natick Soldier Systems Center," replied Poff, "is to help empower, unburden and protect the American war fighter on the battlefield."
Like Geoff, Mike clearly came away impressed by what he had seen at Natick. "It was a fantastic experience for me and Geoff to come down here and see that the Army's developing, in multiple lanes, technology that's good for the Soldier," Mike said. "We are humbled and honored to be down here on such a prestigious and professional base. It's been great."

• To determine predictors of mortality In immunocompromised patients with pulmonary infiltrates, we reviewed the records of all such patients admitted to two community teaching hospitals who underwent a lung biopsy over a ten-year period. We examined the consequences of advancing age, primary disease, fever, neutropenia, immunosuppressive corticosteroid therapy, previous lung radiation, roentgenographic pattern, result of lung biopsy, room air arterial oxygen pressure (Pao2), early mechanical ventilation, and the presence of a comorbid disease on eventual outcome. We identified 104 episodes in 99 patients. Sixty-seven (64%) survived and 37 died. By both discriminant analysis and logistic regression statistical methods, mechanical ventilation, the initial room air Pao2, and corticosterold therapy were the dominant Independent variables, in that order, to significantly predict mortality. No patient survived who simultaneously had a room air Pao2 ≤50 mm Hg, was on corticosteroids, and was mechanically ventilated. Eighty-three percent of survivors had either none or, at most, one of these three variables present. We conclude that hypoxia, immunosuppression by corticosteroids, and the necessity for mechanical ventilation within 72 hours of hospitalization indicate a poor prognosis in the immunocompromised patient with pulmonary infiltrates who has undergone a lung biopsy.

Missouri is trying to lure Boeing jobs to the state. Lawmakers there finalized a $1.7 billion incentive package to entice the aviation company to build it's new 777x in St. Louis.
Kansas is vying for the same jobs, but experts believe our state is low on the company's list.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is on a campaign to land Boeing manufacturing jobs. On Tuesday, state lawmakers wrapped up a special session to come up with an incentive package.
"I think everyone appreciates and understands that we have tight time frames here," Governor Nixon said. "We are going to be open and transparent and try to make sure in this opportunity that we put our best foot forward."
The option came up last month, after the machinist union in Seattle voted down Boeing's latest contact offer. They were supposed to build the 777x in Washington State. That vote caused Boeing executives to look to other states for that work.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback confirms he's talked to Boeing about the project, and is exploring options. When asked what specific incentives Kansas was prepared to offer, his office gave us this statement: "There is much in Kansas that makes it an attractive option for a company like Boeing to consider as a site for its 777x manufacturing."
Kansas has had a long history with Boeing. Brownback also mentioned our skilled workforce, particularly in the Air Capital. Plus Spirit Aerosystems is here, it will make some parts for the 777x. All give Kansas an advantage.
But the state is clearly land-locked and that could be a negative in the deal. Boeing wants this project near a sea-port, which is why aviation exerts say other states like California, Alabama and South Carolina are topping the list.
Other experts feel this bidding frenzy is a ploy to get a better deal from machinists and in the end Boeing may keep the work in Seattle.
A decision is expected in the next 2 or 3 months.

HIGHLAND – The Lady Vandals were unable to earn a win at the Highland Tournament and will not play again until next Monday.
Hopefully, the time off will give them a chance to figure out their new offense.
Belleville West found many open shots and grabbed plenty of offensive rebounds during a 66-40 win against Vandalia on Tuesday.
Teutopolis scored 51 points in the first half en route to an 81-44 rout of Vandalia on Tuesday.
Senior Dathan Berning paced the Vandals with 14 points, but a consistent outpouring of offense from the Wooden Shoes could not be overcome.
The loss was the second straight for the Vandals, who are now 15-5 on the season.
Their next game is on Tuesday against Hillsboro.
Many athletes that spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are the athletes who played this past week.
Jessica Earnest • Junior • Vanderbilt University
The Vandalia Junior High boys basketball teams battled Hillsboro last Thursday.
Tuesday, Jan. 17
St. Elmo 66
Windsor 31
Points: Blake Pruett, 17; Ben Sperry, 16; Blaine Scholes, 15; Levi Maxey, 8; Jake Mansker, 4; Connor Beasley, 3; Patrick Schaal, 3.
Record: 14-3 (5-1 NTC)
Barring anything unusual, two Lady Vandals should score their 1,000th career point during the Highland Tournament, with games assured on Saturday and next Tuesday.
Senior Haley Wollerman and junior Amber Bruno are both within reach of the mark, and will surpass the milestone if they score at or near their season averages.
The two guards have been standout players for the Lady Vandals the past two seasons, and coach Michelle McNary said both players deserve to reach the milestone.
Senior Dathan Berning made five 3-pointers, and the Vandals used a fourth-quarter rally on Tuesday to defeat Altamont, 55-51.
Trailing 37-33 entering the final period, Vandalia scored 22 points to Altamont's 14 in erasing its deficit.
The victory gives the Vandals 15 on the season, but the team has some tough challenges in the next week.
On Friday, the Vandals travel to Greenville for a rematch of the third-place game of the Vandalia Holiday Tournament, and on Tuesday, the Vandals travel to perennial power Teutopolis.
Playing without its three guards for the final four minutes against Greenville on Tuesday was too much for the Vandalia girls basketball team to overcome during a 52-48 loss.
Senior Haley Wollerman was hit with her fifth foul with 5:54 left in the game, and junior Amber Bruno got her fifth 1:37 later.
PATOKA – The Warriors had a season high in points scored on Monday, but that was just enough to fend off a pesky North Clay squad during a 72-63 win, Patoka's first since Dec. 12.
"A win is a positive right now," said coach Joe Eddy. "It's a quality win, but the good win is on Friday, when we play a conference game."
That, however, would actually be a great win.
The Vandalia wrestling team had a strong start to the new year by going 2-1 at a quad meet in Belleville, placing 11th at the Princeton Tournament, and defeating East Alton-Wood River and Carlinville.
The Vandals return to the mats on Thursday for a dual meet at Highland, and for a home tri-meet against Monticello and Murphysboro at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Results from this past week's events follow.

All orders placed here may be eligible for numerous bonuses!
Burn DVD movies on to a CDRW - You have probably seen these advertised from anywhere from 29.99 to 99.99. Get it here free. Programs which can copy a DVD movie on to CDRs with no loss of quality and programs which can copy a DVD movie on to CDR and make it suitable for playing on any DVD player.
Bonus CD - A special CD compilation of about 500 megabytes of photo editing software, games and utilities gathered from all over the Net. (This includes the copying software described above.) These are specially selected from the collection of software that we use regularly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - there is no warranty on this CD: The files on the CD were downloaded from reputable sites which are virus and spyware free. They are installed on my PC and have been tested by at least 6 anti-virus programs. Hundreds of people have received this CD over the years and have used it without incident. But in about ten years, we received two reports from someone claiming there was a virus on it. Norton reported a possible virus in Frogger - a game we have played many times. To avoid any more complaints, we deleted it, even though there was nothing wrong with it. Then Norton reported a possible virus in VOB.EXE - a video encoder currently installed on our PCs and in use for months. Again we deleted it from the CD. But you can't expect us to check with every anti-virus program out there to make sure their programs don't report false positives. You use this CD at your own risk. We are not responsible for problems - real or imaginary - that you experience with any program on the disk. If unsatisfied, we will refund only what you paid for the CD, which was ZERO.
Flat shipping and handling - In 2016 we raised our shipping by $1 for the first increase in 6 years, despite several increases by the Post Office. At that time we were shipping everything via priority mail and were reluctantly forced to do it after losing money on several orders. People in California placed $20 orders and paid by credit card. The processing cost us a dollar and the shipping another $8.82 and by the time we were finished, we had a loss. We decided against doing what so many other sites are doing: charging based on weight and destination. That would require the customer to enter the entire order and their address before seeing the shipping charge. So we chose $8, because that seemed to be the median cost. On some orders the shipping and credit card/paypal costs us more than $8 and on others less. If you are the type to feel ripped off by paying $8 when it cost us less, there's a simple solution: order more. Even if it costs us more, you will still only pay $8.
Bonus cartridges - Many of our packs now come with bonus cartridges already included. Many of our 5-packs are now 6-packs, our 7-packs became 8-packs and our 10-packs became 12 to 13-packs. And if we ship first class, we lamost always add an extra.
Free digital video cassettes - if you have a recorder which uses these, you can request Panasoniuc 60-90 minute DVCs instead of bonus cartridges. We have a number of sealed cartridges in stock.
Double and free - When ordering ink cartridges, we have a "Double and free" promotion. Instead of ordering a 12-pack, order two packs and get 25. Double it again and get 51. Each time you double the order, you get twice the previous amount plus one, so you more than double the bonus. Since the shipping is a flat charge, the more you order, the lower your cost per cartridge.
Non credit card bonus - Since we pay a fee to process orders via credit card or paypal, if you save us the fee we will reward you, usually in the form of a free cartridge. If paying via paypal from your bank account or balance you must follow the instructions on the site exactly to qualify. The exact reward depends on the amount of your order.
Repeat customer bonus - We're always surprised by companies which offer a discount on your first purchase and then none after that. Do they want all their customers to be one-shot deals? We do almost no advertising. Most of our business comes from repeat loyal customers and the friends and relatives they refer. So we are offering a special bonus for repeat customers who order more than 10 cartridges.
Referral bonus - Refer your family and friends who do not live at the same address to ccs-digital.com. When they place an order, have them tell us you referred them. They will get a free cartridge with their first order. When you place your order, remind us who you referred. You will get a free cartridge for every first order one of your referrals placed. It's that easy!
Secret bonus - Signup for our free monthly newsletter and get a secret code which will give you additional discounts on many of our packs.
Add it together:
NOTE: Bonuses do not always go out automatically. When placing your order, don't forget to mention your specific bonuses in the comment section of your order or in email. (Don't just write "send me a bonus." Specify the ones you are requesting.)

Yonhap is reporting a story that will probably make our Top 10 this year: A man in his 20s was discovered hiding in a Korean citizen's house by a resident in Ganghwa, near the
western border with the North.
The man, who was wearing only underwear and appeared drunk at the time, said he floated south from North Korea, [Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesman] Lee said.
Gan bae, Captain.
"The man said he crossed to the South, holding on to a floating object to waters off the coast of Gyodong Island," Lee said. "The floating object is seen as a wooden board that drifted due to the flood in the North."
This might be the best drinking story ever. Man goes on bender. Bender turns into drunken swim. Man Kate Winslets his way through Korean islands on a piece of wood. Man wakes up in
South Korea freedom. (Actually, getting drunk and waking up in North Korea might be an even better story, but only for, like, five minutes. This is better.)
The upside, of course, is that
South Korea returns North Koreans who accidentally drift to the South if they want to return, but accepts any North Korean defectors who want to live in the South.
Who knew it was so easy? Citizens of the DPRK might consider a leisurely swim more often.
Recall, however, the punishment meted out to family members of citizens who defect. This might have been an accident, but the captain's misadventure could secure his family a one-way ticket to this ineffable hell.
We at The North Korea Blog are hoping for a happy outcome on this strange and hilarious story.

Florida Challengers to Health Care Law Go, Well, Medium
Last month, as we wrote here, The Cooch went large.
By that, of course, we mean that the Virginia Attorney General asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take an immediate appeal of his challenge to the constitutionality of the health-care law.
On Friday, the plaintiffs in another challenge– the one playing out in Florida — went medium. The plaintiffs, a group of 26 states and a business group, asked the entire Eleventh Circuit to hear the case rather than a three-judge panel.
Were the Eleventh Circuit to grant the request, the case would move into pole position as the one likely to be heard first by the U.S. Supreme Court. Click here for the request; here for the formal appeal; here for Lyle Denniston's writeup over at Scotusblog; here for all LB coverage of the health-care challenges.
(But wait! you say. Didn't the plaintiffs win their case at the trial court level? Indeed they mostly did (here), but it wasn't a total win. He rejected the states' objections to several parts of the law.)
Writes Denniston:
Calling the case "exceptional and time sensitive," the challengers said it is vital that appellate review be "by all members of this Court." It added: "If the United States Supreme Court decides to grant certiorari, it will no doubt benefit institutionally from thorough appellate review on the matter. Where an appeal is expedited for resolution — and time is available for en banc hearing, as it appears fortuitously to be in this case — the Supreme Court would benefit from the full court's views."
While initial review by a three-judge panel might be sufficient under ordinary circumstance where "timing is not so critical and the issues less compelling," the challengers argued, the ordinary process of panel review followed by requests for en banc review "is likely to prove unworkable or unpredictable given the urgency and importance of resolving the issues presented."
Ideally, it seems, the plaintiffs would like the case to be argued in early June.

Facebook on an Addition Binge: Latest a Small Design Shop
Facebook is at it again: scooping up teams of staff from small companies.
The social network is acquiring some of the staff of Bolt-Peters, a website design outfit that describes itself on its site as having "roughly six employees, one dog and one robot that feeds the dog treats."
The deal isn't an acquisition of the whole company, but what Facebook and tech companies have taken to calling "acqui-hires" whereby the staff comes but the company dies.
Bolt-Peters was founded by Nate Bolt and Craig Peters in 2002.
Bolt, who is among those joining Facebook, wrote on the corporate blog it will be shuttering itself next month to join Facebook, titling his post "b/p + fb = omg."
The Bolt-Peters group will report to Facebook's design team, which builds the company's various applications and the technology behind how the site works.
All Things D previously reported the news earlier Thursday.
This follows Facebook buying Karma on Friday, in the midst of its IPO and several other small acquisitions this year to go along with that large one for Instagram. Terms of the small deals, including Bolt, haven't been disclosed.
According to Capital IQ this would be Facebook's sixth acquisition this year after making 11 in all of 2011.
When the Instagram deal was announced, Mark Zuckerberg said on his own Facebook page that the company wasn't typically looking for acquisitions that are as well-established with users as Instagram. The company has generally stuck with deals that acquire talent more than users, such as this Bolt-Peters purchase.
Facebook's IPO filings describe its acquisition plans this way: "we have made and intend to make acquisitions to add specialized employees, complementary companies, products, or technologies."

I am a little a bit confused:
What is the difference between an action and an activity?
Actions are important for maintaining and improving business relationships. You can schedule and start predefined processes with the Actions component by means of user-definable conditions from transaction and marketing objects.
You can tailor the type and time of actions to the requirements of your customers and the processes in your company. This component enables you to match your service, sales and distribution management, and your campaign management even more closely to customer needs, and, simultaneously, to automate them
An activity is a document used to record information or plan actions at any time during the customer relationship life cycle.
Activities can include appointments, interaction logs and tasks, for example, telephone calls, customer visits, general preparatory tasks, or private reminders.
Reward if helps
is basically used in Sales force Automation for Sales Executives scenario either for Business Activity(In Bound) No interaction with customer employees of of a particular co will discuss about task assigned and completed this you can view in Activity Monitor how much of work is completed
Task is out bound sales executives will interact with customers for complete the task
Actions are used to automate your processes. For Eg:
1. You want the status to set to completed, when the contract validity gets over
2. On start of every month an order should get generated from a contract
3. Send an e-mail whenever the SLA's are breached
Action are defined to let some activity to take place with out any manual interaction. like account Manager has pproved a Campaign Budget and the Same mail has to be sent to the Campaign Manager informing about the same.
Or some thing like I have a sales order saved with out any errors and action defined will trigger the Print of the Order.
1)Define an Action profile and assign it to a Transaction type.
2)For action a Schedule condition,Start condition should be fulfilled and Processing types(Smartforms,Workflows, Methods(BADI) are used to carryout the objective.
hi there
Actions are operations that must be triggered if the conditions set in a rule are evaluated to true. Actions are one of the defining components used when creating rule policies. A rule can have any number of actions.
You can define actions in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management by choosing E-Mail Response Management System Define Repository .
When you create an action, you must determine the following:
Action IDs
There are standard delivered actions you can use such as invoking a policy, routing e-mails, sending automatic responses, and creating interaction records.
Action Service IDs
These are the fact gathering services that determine the behavior of the action when executed. The action service IDs linked to the action IDs are configured in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management by choosing E-Mail Response Management System Service Manager Define Services .
Action Parameters
Action parameters are used to pass values that are to be used in the action, for example, Mail Form and Organizational Object. The available parameters depend upon the context you are working in, for example ERMS, and which action ID you selected.
Conflict Resolution Type
This determines how conflicts are resolved if the same action is invoked more than once during rule execution. For more information, see Conflict Resolution.
Execute Immediately
You can determine if an action is executed immediately or only after a policy has been evaluated.
i have tried explaining Actions using an instancewhereas an Activity is the utility which is perofremd whethere in response of transaction or a normal routine activity,like u can create activity before lead or after lead or in between creation of lead
whereas action is something that u set some condition against which something happen when that condition is met.
like it may be an activity or any other transaction creation or any thing that is decided by the parameters in actions
best regards
In simple words.
Activity is a business transaction and is handled almost same as any other business transaction like Sales order, quotation etc.
Actions are automatic actions that are configured to occur in business transactions (activity, sales order, quotation etc.) as a result of particular condition like change of status to let us say "in process" from "open".

Tale Of The Tape: Green Bay Packers At Minnesota Vikings
The Packers are peaking right now, and head coach Mike McCarthy is hoping they can keep it up throughout the rest of the season. When Aaron Rodgers is healthy, no quarterback in the league is better.
Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets At Buffalo Bills
The Jets went into the bye week with a small burden lifted off their shoulders, as they beat the Steelers and ended their eight-game losing streak.
Tale Of The Tape: Cleveland Browns At Atlanta Falcons
The Browns are one of the top stories of the year as they try to stay on top in the AFC North. One of the key reasons for their success is the leadership and competency of quarterback Brian Hoyer.
Tale Of The Tape: Detroit Lions At New England Patriots
The Lions are a maturing team that is no longer its own worst enemy. Instead of committing mindless penalties or turning the ball over at crucial moments, they are playing the game under control.
Tale Of The Tape: Tampa Bay Buccaneers At Chicago Bears
Josh McCown gets an opportunity to compete against the team he excelled for last year and helped him get a huge contract. McCown filled in for Jay Cutler last season and kept the Bears on track during his absence.
Tale Of The Tape: Kansas City Chiefs At Oakland Raiders
The Chiefs have full confidence that Alex Smith is a championship-level quarterback who is going to take advantage of defensive mistakes every time he steps onto the field.

I've been crafting in one way or another since my mother first allowed me to use scissors. College and a few years in the Army slowed me down quite a bit, but I picked the crochet hook back up in earnest in 2009 and I haven't looked back!Read More » View all patterns by designer (8) »
This pattern was my first sit-down-and-scratch-your-head-for-hours design. Hours and hours! I had this idea in my head, though, and I had to try and get it out. I began with charts and lots of swatches, finally deciding on something I liked, but it was two years later before I worked up the courage to tackle written instructions. And oh boy did they make my eyes cross! With the help of two fantastic pattern testers, though, I've finally pulled it all together into a pattern I'm willing to share with the world. So here it is!
This pattern can be worked with or without beads. The photos here show two beaded options and you will find photos for all three versions in the pattern, along with a chart. I recommend wet blocking the finished scarf as it really opens up the stitching. Also, if you choose a sock yarn (like the autumn leaves scarf), a few good soaks with some fabric softener or even a gentle hair conditioner works wonders on the itchy factor.
At approximately 6' long and just over 4" wide, this scarf is perfect for wearing both long and flowing as well as double wrapped for added warmth. Worn either way, it truly is an elegant accessory.
*I invite and encourage you to sell any items made from my patterns; I simply ask that you credit me for the design, especially if listing online, by linking back to the source of the pattern. Copying, redistributing, or selling the pattern itself or a derivative thereof is strictly prohibited.
Gauge is not overly important for this project, although I would recommend working with similar yarn and hook as called for in the pattern. If you choose a heavier weight yarn, try using a hook one size smaller than the skein calls for - the scarf will be much wider with a heavier yarn, though. What's important is that you use a yarn and hook that you're comfortable with, so if you don't like the way it looks, change it!

(Reuters) - U.S. health regulators on Tuesday said they approved OraSure Technologies Inc's in-home test for HIV, making it the first over-the-counter, self-administered test for the virus that causes AIDS.
The Food and Drug Administration gave its green light to the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test, which within 20 to 40 minutes provides results from an oral fluid sample taken by swabbing the upper and lower gums inside the mouth.
Shares of the company, which were halted pending the FDA announcement, closed up 5.2 percent at $12.10 on Nasdaq.

Shannon man dies after Pontotoc County wreck
Vehicle runs off road
Published 9:22 AM CDT Jul 03, 2013
A 32-year-old Shannon man died after sustaining critical injuries in a single vehicle accident in Pontotoc County.
Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Roe told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that Charles Ethridge was driving east on Highway 342 Tuesday when he ran off the roadway and then overcorrected.
When he overcorrected, Roe said the vehicle rolled, ejecting him.
A 14-year-old passenger was able to crawl out of the window while the vehicle was rolling.
Ethridge was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis with critical injuries and died from those injuries around a short time later.

Audio context fails to create - unhandleable exceptionPosted Thursday, 20 September, 2012 - 00:08 by beattiet
|The Open Toolkit library
|support request
Jump to:
We have a client with a computer with "no dedicated sound card" (whatever that means). Our software fails to create an Audio Context with the following exception...
EXCEPTION Unhandled exception: System.TypeInitializationException
The type initializer for 'OpenTK.Audio.AudioContext' threw an exception.
The type initializer for 'OpenTK.Audio.AudioDeviceEnumerator' threw an exception.
at OpenTK.Audio.AudioContext.Finalize()
As best we can figure, it seems to fail in the enumerator, which causes the constructor to fail, which causes a call to Finalize, which causes the enumerator to fail...
We are unable to handle it in the usual way (try/catch) because Microsoft says that exceptions in Finalize methods are unhandleable.
Anyone with similar experience?
Is it possible to put some protection in the AudioContext.Finalize to catch any exceptions?
Not sure I understand the situation where this arises correctly: the user has no longer a sound hardware installed, but still an OpenAL driver? Do you know OS and .Net/Mono version of the user?
We only know they are on Windows 7 but not much more yet. So I am guessing a fairly recent .Net version as well. We have deployed the OpenAL-soft library (renamed as OpenAL.DLL) as a wrapper around any existing drivers. My question was really about whether we could add some protection to the Finalize code to cover this situation.
I guess the other question is, is there any way to detect the AudioContext constructor is going to fail *before* calling it to avoid this problem? Most of the calls I can see in the code call the device enumerator and that is where the problem arises.
It is easy to reproduce - just rename or hide the openAL.dll and the constructor will throw a DLLNotFoundException. Many people will not see this finalization exception as it can happen after the main form is destroyed but our program is catching all exceptions and this one causes a problem because it occurs in a destructor and so cannot be handled using the normal methods.
The solution is to wrap the "finally" portion of the static AudioDeviceEnumerator constructor in a try..catch loop because some of the code in the block can produce exceptions.
try { // clean up the dummy context Alc.MakeContextCurrent( ContextHandle.Zero ); //can cause exception if no dll present if ( dummy_context != ContextHandle.Zero && dummy_context.Handle != IntPtr.Zero ) Alc.DestroyContext( dummy_context ); if ( dummy_device != IntPtr.Zero ) Alc.CloseDevice( dummy_device ); } catch ( Exception ) { openal_supported = false; }

Product Description
The Peugeot Vrille Aerator is made of shiny solid pewter. An aerator disperses the wine freely over a wide area of the decanter walls, accelerating oxygenation and the release of a young red wine's aromas. The wine passes through two small holes in the reservoir and accelerates down the spiral before being forced to the sides of the decanter.
Product's Review
It is a very useful aerator Review by M3guy
I am very please to inform that this is a good aerator. It makes the wine opens up nicely. (Posted on 11/9/2011)

Mabel's Souper Autumnal Feast – as cosy as a wooly jumper
Nothing warms the cockles of the heart like home-made soup. It's a meal in a bowl. It contains at least 11 of your five a day. It costs less than a fiver to make a bottomless vat-full. It's low fat. AND it empties your fridge of just about anything and everything you need to use up. It's souper.
You really can soupify virtually anything but I rustled up this one using what I had remaining from my yummy veggie delivery last week. It was truly scrumptious, even if I say it myself, so I thought it might be worth a wee shout-out.
Quantities really just depend on how much you want to make or, if you're anything like me, how much you need to use up. If you end up with far too much you can always freeze it in portions for a quick meal on a rainy day, or take some round to your next door neighbour. Its nice to be nice.
Gather together:
Garlic – a couple of cloves
Carrots – I used 4
Sweet potato – I used 3
Squash – 1 big beast
Olive oil – a swirl
Turmeric – a sprinkling
Mild curry powder – just a touch
Sour cream – to serve
Parmesan and/or baby spinach – as a cheeky wee bonus
Start by warming up a little olive oil in a big bad-boy pan. Chop up your garlic finely and fry it off. After 30 seconds or so, add the chopped onions and fry them off together a wee bit. Then put the lid on your pan and let the whole shebang SWEAT for a few mins.
Peel your carrots, sweet potato and butternut squash (ditch the seeds too), and chop them all into chunks. Add them to the pan, stir together and replace the lid.
For some foxy flavour, add a fair swatch of salt and pepper, sprinkling of turmeric and a shake of mild curry powder.
Leave the veg to soften for 10 mins while you make up a couple of pints of veg stock.
Add the stock to the pan and simmer on a low heat. When all the veg is nice and soft, take the pan off the heat and allow to cool for 10 mins.
Blend the contents of the pan to within an inch of its life. Smooth. Feel free to add more stock if the texture is looking more 'wallpaper paste' than 'sloppy and soupilicious'. Season to taste and garnish with a dollup of soured cream. Delish.
Feel free to serve with a few cheeky flecks of parmesan or if you're just going totally NUTS then try stirring through a sprinkling of baby spinach. Quirky.
Warm your face. Warm your heart.

Well, the host of the party(Barry O) says the party is rockin so I guess we should just close our eyes and settle in to his new normal.
A very good play on words, I liked it!!
What? You mean if a billionaire moves in next door & raises the average income on my block to a hundred million, I'm not actually better off??
Well, the host of the party(Barry O) says the party is rockin
Not quite.
"The folks in the middle and at the bottom haven't seen wage or income growth, not just over the last three, four years, but over the last 15 years," the president said.
Does that make me feel better? Ummm… no!
Can you tell me what any conservative intends to do about this? More tax breaks for the already wealthy? We've been doing that for 30+ years. You'll be hard pressed to find a conservative politician who even acknowledges that growing income inequality might be a problem.
pin the tail on the honkey.
that's pretty good….LOL
Let's see: Add in that the bounce house has lead and asbestos in it making it unsaleable by new EPA rules, that other EPA rules make using charCOAL on the grill illegal so they have to burn money instead, that the cake is made of toasted rice and tofu because of new healthy eating mandates, and that the pool is full of sharks posing as bankers and you have it!
Well Done!
Nope, Obama has never said the party is rockin. That's a conservative-world talking point. The president has proposed spending on jobs and infrastructure, which is what Clinton, Reagan, Bush, and every other president did in times of slow economic growth, and it always worked. The GOP has consciously decided that hurting America under a Democratic president is more important than the idea of America itself. The cartoon is excellent.
Wow! Conservatives are in favor of lead poisoning now. I suppose it was only a matter of time, after all, liberals are against it, and that's the only kind of analysis required…. (And no, coal has not been outllawed. It's more expensive, more polluting, and more dangerous than natural gas, and that's the free market at work. If coal can't make it with the subsidies it currently gets, why would conservatives want to distort the market even more? )
Wow! Progressives are scientific illiterates! When the standard for lead content is essentially zero, and unobtainable in many materials as a few atoms or a part per billion might be present then the EPA has an insane rule. But, that is where they are at with many of their standards today.
Yet, you ARodney glibly snivel about how those who would want scientifically based and economically obtainable limits with realistic levels set are somehow nuts. The nuts are the "zero-tolerance" crowd like you.
By the by, even the EPA admits that their new rules on Coal pollution will do nothing but raise the cost of building a coal plant, are not based on best commerical practice as required by law but rather on the commitment that power plant operators have made to include them in four new plants to be built and have never actually been used in practice.
Your ignorance of the actual rules and regulations that the "Alphabet soup" of the government has made is abundantly apparent in your answer. Many of those rules today are grotesquely expensive to comply with and do NOTHING to make things better be it the EPA, OSHA, the CPA, or any other agency of the federal government.
It is you that distorts reality with vauge generalities and logical fallacies.
OK, this has nothing to do with anything..just a curious question. Why is it ok to use the word "honky" but if the "n" word was used, the comic strip would be considered racist? Isn't "honky" a racist belittlement?
Obama is the latest host, this has been a long party with it starting in late 1979 onward. D and R they still helped the rich and not the rest of us.
As Dr. Reich says it looks like suspension bridge from 1920 to 2012 as it goes up then down then up and now down again. WE are right where we were in 1928. You know what comes next.
"What? You mean if a billionaire moves in next door & raises the average income on my block to a hundred million, I'm not actually better off??"
You live here in Maine too? About 10 years ago, there was a boom of people from away building million dollar homes on cheap lots, which raised the property tax rate on their neighbors' homes, forcing most of them to leave. Apparently everyone loves lobster but nobody wants to live near a lobsterman. Now, a lot of those houses are empty, as nobody can afford them, and nobody wants to pay the taxes on the smaller homes around them.
It's the Federal Reserve, with Obama's approval, that is pumping money to the 1% and hoping for trickle down.
Sounds like a Republican to me though it is a commonly held idea in economic circles of the elites.

OAKLAND -- Vicki Chan's rambling, three-level garden on Estates Drive, abundant with vegetable patches, flowers, olive and citrus trees, berries and grapes and even her own whimsical handmade garden ceramics, is a reflection of her personality.
"I don't like to plant things in rows," said Chan, whose garden will be one of eight featured on the upcoming Hillside Gardeners of Montclair garden tour. "When I moved here 13 years ago, everything was square -- I like flow and curves -- and low maintenance. I don't want my garden to be too serious."
"She's a serious gardener who doesn't want a serious garden," chimed in Dianne Farber, who also belongs to the Hillside Gardeners Club.
Chan is a firm believer in organic gardening and recycling. She found the "converted" bird house that her ceramic chickens call home by the side of the road. She also rescued some fencing that serves as a trellis for peas.
"She's a big recycler. We all are," Farber said.
The fruit of the citrus, olive, apple, persimmon and apricot trees are either given away or end up as applesauce, jam, jelly or -- Chan's favorite, lemon cello.
"It's a liqueur that can dress up any dessert," Chan said. "Try drizzling it over pound cake."
She also believes in organic fertilizer, using treated horse manure from local stables to make her garden grow. Another gardener on the tour is similarly creative, recycling droppings from llamas that are owned by a friend. Chan also has compost piles dotted all over the garden.
"Why drag the stuff around?" she said.
The last Hillside Gardeners tour in 2011 netted more than $12,000, according to club president Paula Snyder.
"This year's tour will feature eight gardens, all in different styles and all maintained by the owners," Snyder said. "It's interesting to see how people create different kinds of gardens that reflect something in their personalities."
Proceeds from the garden tour, and the club's winter boutique, support everything from helping to repair tree burn areas in California by purchasing new trees to scholarships for horticultural students at Merritt College.
"Merritt is one of the most comprehensive horticultural programs in the area, therefore it's important that we support it," Snyder said. "So many programs are in need of funds."
The 130-strong Hillside Gardeners club also does a lot of down-to-earth work.
"We maintain two gardens at Lake Merritt and the club has taken care of the plot at Moraga and Masonic for about 20 years," Snyder said. "It's a lot of hands-on weeding."
Snyder said the gardeners club also has offshoots, including a pottery group.
"They make things that will be sold at the tour's boutique," she said. "It's mostly garden art and some sun catchers that were made from chandelier crystals."
The club also has knitting, cooking and plant propagation groups.
"It's easy to stay busy with all these activities," Snyder said.
Farber said when she moved here from Minneapolis and her children became adults, the club was a lifesaver.
"This club just saved me, it's a great way to make friends," Farber said. "It's the service component that I find so attractive. We work on things that are enjoyed and appreciated by the whole community."
What: Hillside Gardeners of Montclair presents, "The Ups and Downs of Hillside Gardening: A spring garden tour of eight fabulous gardens," and a gardeners' boutique
When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday
Tickets: $30 in advance; $35 day of tour
Information: 510-898-6872 or firstname.lastname@example.com

If you move files around, RSYNC assumes they are gone, and retransfers
the whole file. Same thing if you change the filename.
I'd like to suggest the following approach to solve this problem:
1> if the --use-this-method flag is set
2> make a list of all files and their lengths, on both filesystems
3> compute a checksum on any files which are the same length
4> if they are identical, send an instruction to duplicate or rename
the local file
That way, if you rearrange or rename files, rsync won't assume they're
gone and retransmit them.
This can't be a new idea... so consider this a vote for all previous
suggestions :-)

vague from mid 16th century:
A number of English words descend from Latin vagari 'to wander' and vagus 'wandering'. In the 16th century vague applied the idea of a 'wandering' mind to someone who cannot think or communicate clearly. A vagabond (Middle English) was originally just a vagrant (Late Middle English), someone who roams from place to place without a settled home, until it acquired the additional suggestion of 'an unprincipled or dishonest man'. Before it came to refer to impulsive changes or whims, as in 'the vagaries of fashion', vagary (late 16th century) was used to mean 'to wander'.

Nearly four months before Orange County meter reader Roy Kronk found Caylee Anthony's remains in a wooded area near the Anthony family home, he saw a white object in the same location that he was "99.99 percent sure" was a human skull.
Kronk testified in Casey Anthony's murder trial on Tuesday that he was with two colleagues when he stepped into the woods to relieve himself in August 2008 – four months before Caylee's body was discovered.
According to his testimony, he saw a round, white object that "looked like a human skull."
As Kronk headed towards the object, he stumbled upon a large dead rattlesnake.
Kronk testified that his two co-workers "screamed like little girls" and that they focused their attention on the snake.
The next day, Kronk called 911 and met a deputy at the scene. "The officer looked one way and then the other," Kronk testified. "Then he berated me for a half hour for wasting his time."
Four months later, on December 11, 2008, Kronk was back in the area. Stepping into the same part of the woods, Kronk stumbled upon Caylee's remains. He claims that he placed a stick in the right eye socket of the skull and "pivoted" it back and forth.
"I apologize for doing so," Kronk testified to a hushed courtroom. "I did not know what it was. I never lifted it off the ground. That was a very horrific thing for me to find, obviously."
This testimony differed from previous depositions, when Kronk said that he lifted up a bag four feet off the ground, and the skull had fallen out.
"I don't remember exactly what happened," Kronk said Tuesday.
Defense attorney Jose Baez has previously suggested that Kronk moved Caylee's remains in order to get the reward.
While he explained finding the skull, Casey Anthony had no visible reaction. After his testimony, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
Anthony could face the death penalty if found guilty.

At Tuesday's press conference, College of San Mateo assistant head coach Tim Tulloch began to list names: quarterback Blake Plattsmeier and John Willis, slot receivers Kenya Price and Levi Wilson, running back Jerrel Brown, wideout Aaron Criswell, linebackers Sione Sina and Tevita Lataimua, defensive linemen Lyman Faoliu and Troy Boyland, plus cornerback Nate Jackson.
What do all these players have in common? They have spent three seasons as Bulldogs, including a year during which they never took the field. On Saturday, the greyshirt sophomores will go out in style as CSM hosts Sierra in the Bulldog Bowl at 1 p.m.
"We're excited about this one," Tulloch said. "I think this team has a lot of character. A lot of young men have been with us for two or three years. It's just some type of special group of sophomores."
While Sierra has a .500 record, CSM (6-4) would have turned down an invitation to the postseason if it lost last week to also finish at 5-5. The coaches had one message for the team: "If we do that, there's going to be another team in your locker room, another player using your locker," Tulloch said.
It didn't help that Santa Rosa was already eliminated from the postseason, which meant all bets were off.
"It was their bowl game," Tulloch said. "They were letting it all hang out and throwing a bunch of different things at us. Our guys weathered through it and really finished the game strong."
A fake punt by Santa Rosa helped keep a drive alive in the first half and CSM trailed in the second quarter before pulling away in the 54-30 victory. Plattsmeier ran 24 times for 195 yards and four touchdowns, while running back George Naufahu gained 81 yards on 16 carries, including a 5-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
"George ran so hard, so physical," Tulloch said. "At some point you could just see them wear down."
Santa Rosa aired it out more than 50 times, which will be somewhat similar to what CSM will face in the Bulldog Bowl. Sierra goes four wide on every snap, with wideouts Frankie Gomes and Vince Mayle dangerous deep threats.
"They're as good as any receiving tandem we've seen all year," Tulloch said. "We're going to have our hands full with them."
Practice for the Bulldog Bowl hasn't deviated from the rest of the season, with a slightly modified schedule implemented the previous week to take daylight savings time into account.
The biggest difference is the amount of attention the sophomores receive from NCAA Div. I coaches.
"Last year we had 28 Division I coaches to watch practice the week of bowl week," Tulloch said. "And we have kids setting up trips to go all over the country right now. So it just gives them another opportunity to show what they can do on tape and coaches to see them live and in person."
CSM players will visit four-year programs such as UCLA, Oregon State and Texas A&M, which just gave Alabama its first loss in two years.
But first they get to use their lockers one last time at College Heights Stadium.
"Once this game is over, they start on their next chapter," Tulloch said.

USB hardware controllers can get confused from time to time. It's a fact
of life, I'm afraid (it even happens to stand-alone USB hubs from time
to time).
First, try turning off and unplugging your computer and all USB hubs
from power for a few minutes.
If that doesn't fix it, try resetting the power manager or SMC. The
steps to do this vary depending on the exact modem Mac you have. Doing a
Google search for your model Mac and "reset" combined with "PMU" or
"SMC" will likely find the instructions. Or you can tell us what model
it is and we'll show you the way.

Home sales rise in Maine over year
Median sales price rises to $162,000
Published 6:51 AM EST Feb 22, 2013
Realtors say sales of single-family homes in Maine have increased by 21 percent between January 2012 and the same month this year.
Statistics released by a statewide multiple listing service show 664 homes changed hands last month, compared to 547 in January 2012.
The median sales price for those homes reached $162,000, a rise of 3 percent from a year earlier. The median indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less.
Maine Association of Realtors President Bart Stevens says Maine is shifting from a strong buyer's market to a more balanced market.

Oil Together Now
This is the third night of Hanukkah, so get to the North Park Farmers' Market and collect the farm fresh ingredients for your holiday meal. A lot of people find Hanukkah to be a bit of a mystery: Why is it never the same time each year? Do you really get one present a night? If there are 8 nights of Hannukah why are there 9 candles on the menorah? (answers below)
Invited to a Hannukah celebration? Gift packs from California Olive make a beautiful hostess gift. Latkes, or potato pancakes, are fried in oil to honor the olive oil that burned for 8 nights to light the Temple. Use potatoes from Proios Family Farm or try a great beet latke variation with fresh beets from Suzie's Farm or JR Organics. Think about using avocado oil for frying, it will let you get your latkes nice and crispy without smoking up your kitchen. Top with sour cream from Springhill farms and a simple applesauce from Smit Orchards apples. Serve warm whilst spinning dreidels. What's a dreidel?
Oh yes, we promised you answers.Hanukkah is based on the lunisolar Jewish calendar. Traditionally, a few gifts are given on only one night of Hanukkah, but some families gift children every night. The extra candle on a menorah is a shamash, it's lit first then used to light the rest of the candles. A drediel is a 4-sided top used to play a children's game, winning gold foil-covered chocolate money or gelt. Happy Hannukah!
SD Weekly Markets brings farmers' markets to the city in San Diego, and people to the table. Each of our San Diego farmers' markets is geared to the needs and interests of the communities it serves, and each is managed professionally to provide the highest quality farm-fresh produce, meats, fish, eggs, and artisan foods to San Diego farmers' market shoppers.

Many of the great technology companies out there today — Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon — have a code-savvy CEO, but these leaders don't spend much, if any, of their time coding.
Which brings up a couple interesting questions.
Is it important for tech startups to be helmed by someone who knows their way around Python, even if they make minimal contributions to the actual code? If so, why? What aspects of a technical background relate to leadership and business skills?
VentureBeat spoke with a group of Silicon Valley CEOs to find out how much time they spend coding, and what it means for their business.
New Relic
Software analytics company New Relic's CEO Lew Cirne said coding has been his passion since 1982.
"I fell in love with creating software when I was 12 years old and my parents bought me my first computer," Cirne said in an interview. "My mom says she hasn't seen me since."
Cirne's first startup was Wily Technology, which he founded in 1998 and was acquired by CA Tech for $375 million in 2006. That was his first time as a CEO, and that experience influenced his approach to leading New Relic, which he founded in 2008.
"At Wily I was young, a little insecure, and tried to change who I was to be the 'protoypical' CEO," he said. "I spent a lot of time in meetings and tried to go toe-to-toe with my VPs to make every decision. But you can't be everything to everybody. The second time around, I surrounded myself with the right people so I could do what I wanted — lead product decisions."
New Relic now has nearly 350 employees and is growing at over 100 percent a quarter. It is poised to generate more than $100 million in annual revenue run rate.
Cirne repeatedly emphasized the importance of bringing on "world-class people" to take care of the decisions he doesn't have the bandwidth, expertise, or interest to make. Find people you trust, who are experts in their roles, and let them do what they do best.
Delegating is key, but it should be balanced with the need to stay connected to the "cadence" of the business. Cirne said he has lunch with New Relic's president every Monday to talk about operating decisions, and its the one thing on his calendar he won't miss.
However there are times when Cirne "rolls up his sleeves and codes". New Relic has come out with a range of new products this year and Cirne was an integral part of building it.
"There is a season where I need to be very focused on building software at the code level," Cirne said. "I went heavy into it in January for what turned into the genesis for our new product. I was heads-down, off-the-grid in remote locations coding. But I can't do that non-stop. When I came back I did a complete 180 and visited customers and focused on operations."
Cirne said that he is a more effective thinker when involved in solving technology decisions. Thinking creatively and problem solving provides perspective into other business decisions, that relate to pricing, hiring, marketing, positioning, strategy etc.
"I remember the moment clearly a two to three years ago when I thought to myself, 'I love everything about this job and this company,' and I just want to keep experiencing this joy. I recognize that as the company gets bigger, there will be a ton of other important work that has to get done, and if I don't plan for it, I will get sucked into all those other decisions."
Lew Cirne will be speaking at our upcoming DevBeat conference, Nov. 12-Nov. 13 in San Francisco. It's a hands-on developer event packed with master classes, presentations, Q&As, and hackathons, all aimed at boosting your code skills, security knowledge, hardware hacking, and career development. Register now.
Suhail Doshi is the cofounder and CEO of Mixpanel, a mobile and web analytics company that helps businesses track user engagement and target specific users.
Doshi studied computer science at Arizona State University but dropped out to found Mixpanel in 2009. He has experience with backend programming as well as front-end development and design. But now he only has time to code on the weekends.
You know, for fun.
"It's tough to find time to code because great engineering organizations typically demand that you continue to maintain any code you write and ship into production," Doshi said to VentureBeat. "It wouldn't be fair to my engineering team if I wrote code because it'd be tough for me to maintain [it]."
Doshi said that he often spends five to six hours on a Sunday night (when the rest of us are watching HBO) writing code for a project that is "tangentially" related to Mixpanel. This keeps his skills sharp and can provide inspiration for new product ideas, as well as empathy for the needs of Mixpanel's developer customers and developers.
"It's pretty tough to run a technology driven company if you can't talk the talk with your fellow engineers," he said. "Everyone wants a manager who understands how much time something really takes, how valuable it really is, and appreciates what they do for the company."
Working as a developer and as a leader require different skills. Developers often say that their best work happens at night when they are alone working on a difficult problem. CEOs are constantly interacting with other people and working on multiple challenges at once, rather than focusing on one project.
For someone who got into this industry due to a love of coding, the shift in roles can be difficult to reconcile.
"The most challenging aspect of being a technical CEO is quickly coming to terms with the fact that you won't be as good at nontechnical things like marketing and sales as you are at programming," Doshi said. "But building a company that is great at the nontechnical things too is often the difference between success and failure."

Energy chief faces more questions on rush to sign deals

Dominican Today
- SANTO DOMINGO- The Justice and Transparency Foundation (FJT) on Friday rebuked that some government officials are signing of contracts, calling for tenders and entering into commitments in the transition process, which go beyond their tenure in the post. FJT president Trajano Potentini, though acknowledging that the constitutional term ends on August 16, said the current officials shouldn't force the incoming Administrations to inherit further commitments. He stressed his concern for the lack of tact he affirms some officials have shown when failing to understand that the country is undergoing an economic crisis which requires that everyone understands the need to coordinate with actions with the incoming authorities. Potentini said he's concerned with the State-owned power utility's (CDEEE) efforts to call for tenders and award around US$4. 0 billion in operations and contracts prior to August 16, in addition to the US$80. 0 million in an agreement without public bidding announced a few weeks ago. He said CDEEE CEO Celso Marranzini would violate law 340-06, and the regulation in the supplementary budget of US$500 million in to subsidy the deficient and mismanaged electricity sector, a situation on which Marranzini will be questioned Tuesday by a committee from both houses of Congress.
