Jake From Playfeed On The Chris Pirillo Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements
Playfeed columnist Jake Metcalf made an appearance on The Chris Pirillo Show last week, talking about games and technology with Chris and his callers. If you haven't caught the show, I definitely recommend you checking it out. Jake did a great job helping out, as well as defending the Nintendo Gamecube. In fact, add the show to your podcasting client. I may get the opportunity to be on the show myself sometime in the near future, as the last time I was invited, I was on my way to new York City.
Gear Live Looking For Bloggers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements
So, turning one year and all has made us that much wiser, and that much stronger - but of course, that is a lie. In order to bring better coverage to the masses, Gear Live is looking for a couple of bloggers who may be interested in joining our editorial team.

Gear Live Turns One Year Old!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements
That's right ladies and germs - Gear Live has now been ruining the minds of people everywhere for one full year. Looking back, it has gone by amazingly fast and has grown in readership just as quickly. Here are a few fun facts:
- Our first article article was an interview with Scott Jordan, CEO and Founder of SCOTTeVEST.
- Gear Live started as a hobby site that I did in my spare time, and over the last year, morphed into my full-time job.
- We had 5653 unique visitors in our first month. Last month, we had over 350,000.
- There was a time when the message boards received more traffic than the blog.
- We started the site on MovableType, and switch to Expression Engine after about six months due to its immense flexibility.
- We have posted 1176 articles, received 4582 comments and 92 trackbacks, and have gotten 1372 members in the last year.
- If you weren't around back then, here is a peek at what Gear Live used to look like.
- A couple of months ago, Playfeed was born.
These are some of our most popular articles:

To win, simply tell us what your favorite Gear Live article has been from the past year in our comments section.

Check the TechnoratiBacks!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements, Internet
So, we have been pondering either adding a link to each entry which would lead to the Technorati cosmos for that post, or adding a Technorati cosmos section within the permalinks themselves. Today we decided to go with the link on each entry, which we have to endearingly named the TechnoratiBack. Of course, some of our favorite sites have just added similar functionality to their blogs as well. For now, two things are certain - Technorati rocks, and trackbacks will remain while we test everything out.

I've never been one to do "best of" or "award" types of posts but I thought it might be fun to find out, from you guys, the money expert you think should be given Bargaineering's 1st Annual Top Money Guru award. We'll be polling personal finance bloggers and readers alike to find out who you all think is the top money guru today.
We wanted to keep the list at ten and we chose ten nearly household names and each one has written an extremely popular book that has tens of thousands, if not millions, of people. I know this list is by no means exhaustive, it only has ten names on it, but it's a start.
Here are this year's candidates for the 1st Annual Bargaineering Top Money Gurus Awards:
- David Bach [3]
- Jean Chatzky [4]
- Clark Howard [5]
- Robert Kiyosaki [6]
- Suze Orman [7]
- Jane Bryant Quinn [8]
- Dave Ramsey [9]
- Ramit Sethi [10]
- Farnoosh Torabi [11]
- Liz Pulliam Weston [12]
We will be doing a brief profile of each these next two weeks and the poll will close June 10th.
Here are the five categories:
- Most Accessible – How easy is it to reach this guru? Do they answer emails? Can you call in and get an answer from them? Do they answer tweets and are they active on Facebook?
- Most Entertaining – Are they entertaining to listen to or read? Do they mix advice with humor or anecdotal stories to help you stay awake?
- Most Helpful – Is their advice and information useful for you in your life?
- Most Respected – Do you respect them as a guru?
- Most Trustworthy – Do they seem trustworthy or do they have an aura of slimyness?
How the Voting Works:
The voting is simple, there are ten gurus and we have five categories. You simply pick one name for category and winner is the one with the most votes. So you vote once for Most Accessible, once for Most Entertaining, once for Most Helpful, once for Most Respected, and finally once for Most Trustworthy. Then, we have two more drop downs – Favorite and Least Favorite – and you pick one name.
That's it! We wanted to keep it nice and simple so it wouldn't take you more than a couple minutes to fill out. Thanks!
$100 Amazon Gift Card
As a
bribe prize, we'll be giving away a $100 Amazon Gift Card to one lucky entrant.
If you're a personal finance blogger, we have a separate survey just for you. Exact same questions, we just wanted to compare the opinions of personal finance bloggers versus the broader community. Email me for details! [13]
If you don't want to do it in the box below, you can click here to open it up in its own window [14].
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey [15] , the world's leading questionnaire tool.
Survey ends this Sunday, thanks!

Related story: Case puts spotlight on necrotizing fasciitis foundation formed by Grand Rapids-area woman
Necrotizing fasciitis – often called a flesh-eating infection – is extremely rare. But recognizing it and getting treatment quickly is critical to battling this fast-moving, life-threatening infection.
Here are some tips from Donna Batdorff, a Grand Rapids-area woman and co-founder of the National Necrotizing Fasciitis Foundation, and Dr. Steven Triesenberg, a Spectrum Health infectious disease specialist:
How it begins: The infection starts at a point of trauma to the skin, which could be a cut, bruise or surgery. Group A streptococcus bacteria enter, producing toxins that quickly destroy tissue.
Extreme pain: The pain caused by the cut or bruise is often far out of proportion to the injury. In Batdorff's case, she had a small cut on a finger but felt severe pain all the way up her arm.
In later stages, the infection damages the nerves, and the patient has less feeling in the area.
Rapidly spreading redness and inflammation: In some cases, the discoloration of the skin can become purplish, an indication that tissue is dying, Triesenberg said.
Look for fever or flu-like symptoms: Batdorff said she had a fever with her infection, but she thought she had the flu. She didn't realize the cut on her finger and the fever were related.
Ask questions: If you are being treated for a skin infection, Batdorff suggests asking the doctor if it could be necrotizing fasciitis. Different kinds of infections initially may have similar symptoms, so she thinks it's worth raising that possibility.
Don't panic over every cut: Triesenberg says to remember necrotizing fasciitis is rare. It has been around since at least the Civil War era, and the number of infections does not appear to be increasing.
In general, he advises cleaning the area around cuts and sores, using antibacterial ointment if the cut is significant. And if an infection involves a fever or rapidly worsening redness and swelling, get medical treatment, he says.

The idea of a Lift-a-Thon occured to Pat while lifting weights along with a group of BGHS students. With the help of students, faculty, family, and community, more than 400 participants signed on to participate in the co-ed event. Students formed teams and secured pledges for the pounds they would lift. The staff, friends and family also secured pledges and lifted weights. Lifters were sponsored on a $/pound basis. Some gave donations based on what they wished they could lift. All those who participated had a grand time and the Lift-a-Thon was a geat success!
At the St. Louis IMF Patient & Family Seminar, Pat and his wife, Judith, presented IMF President Susie Novis with a check for $10,000 to fund multiple myeloma research. Our thanks to the Cassidy Family and the Buffalo Grove, Illinois, community for "pumping up" the efforts of the IMF in our common battle against myeloma. We also thank them for their commitment to continue their support of myeloma research through an annual event!

Argentina now takes Falklands' dispute to satellite imagery
The Argentine newspaper Ambito Financiero reported on Friday, without revealing sources, that oil exploration rig Leiv Eiriksson, contracted by two oil companies to drill to the south of the Falkland Islands "was found, on Thursday, exploring in Argentine waters", according to 'irrefutable' satellite images.
However Falklands oil industry sources downplayed the news and said that oil rig deployment in the Islands' water is quite different from what is published from Buenos Aires. "We are quite used to Argentine misinformation and imagination".
Furthermore "there is a lot of artistic licence put into that (satellite) image - reality is quite different".
Ambito reports that the Bahamas flagged rig (120 metres long and 89 metres above sea level), together with the Toisa Intrepid and the multipurpose Toisa Sonat "at the end of last month were located very close to the 200 miles from the Argentine continental shelf, which caused alarm among (Argentine) authorities". Later a third Norwegian flagged salvage vessel, "Ocean Prince", joined the group.
However, "in recent days both the Leiv Eiriksson and its accompanying vessels violated the borders of Argentina's Economic Exclusion Zone, EEZ", having advanced "between 8 to 10 nautical miles beyond the pre-determined limits, to 190 miles off the Argentine coast", based on images from the Mompesat satellite monitoring system to which "Ambito had access".
"The oil rig and companion ships spent over 90 hours in that location exploring or carrying out exploratory tasks, which led to speculation that the company is considering a third well, located within Argentine territorial waters".
"Irrefutable satellite images, reports Ambito, show that on Wednesday the platform was located at the coordinates -53°59'54'7 south -58°76'51'1 west. However, by midday yesterday (Thursday) it had retreated and briefly sailed toward the Islands before dropping anchor at 53°35'44'63 south and 58°45'55'13 west. According to sources with access to the Mompesat satellite monitoring system, the positioning of the platform was brought to the attention of the authorities".
Ambito continues: in recent months we detected that they were on the point of violating our economic exclusion zone and for this reason we have been constantly monitoring said the source.
Meanwhile, sources linked to the Argentine Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed that this "is not the first time that an oil rig violates the zone limits, although it is the first time that this has happened since the diplomatic conflict bubbled to the surface in January". According to those sources, "the Ocean Guardian, exploring to the north of the archipelago since 2010 is (was) also positioned within Argentina's continental shelf".
However the article also partly explains a possible cause for the different interpretation of the limits of the adjoining EEZs.
"For the Argentine state, according to the presentation by COPLA (National Committee for the Exterior Limit of the Continental Shelf) to the United Nations, the continental shelf of a bordering state includes the sea bed and sub-marine layers which extend beyond its territorial sea and across the length of the natural extension of its territory to the outer border of the continental margin, or to a distance of 200 miles counted from the base lines from which the borders of the territorial sea are measured, when the outer border of the continental margin does not reach the same distance.
However, this position conflicts with the United Kingdom, who, taking the bordering state" to be the Falklands/Malvinas Islands, consider a large part of the waters around the Islands to be their EEZ.
The Leiv Eiriksson rig was contracted by Borders & Southern Plc and Falkland Oil and Gas Ltd, both companies licensed by the Falkland Islands government to explore in its jurisdictional waters.
Ambito says that the Argentine Foreign Affairs minister has sent notes of discouragement to the companies involved: to oil companies as well as the accompanying ships and support vessels. But also admits frustration at the lack of echo from the different complaints the Argentine government has sent out, and admits a fundamental problem: "It is the 'kelper' (Falklands') government which awards the exploration licenses and therefore the complaint should be addressed to them, but doing so would in some way acknowledge sovereignty which contradicts the basic (sovereignty) claim".
Ambito Financiero, a much respected Argentine financial publication following the death of its founder in 2006, finally ended in the hands of Editors Amfin, belonging to Orlando Vignatti, a media investor. Reporting quality remains but far from when it became a reference for the financial community. The group also owns the Buenos Aires Herald.

Since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), economic growth and industrial expansion have made the border region one of the most attractive areas in the country, a group of panelists concurred Thursday, Aug. 23, during the U.S.-Mexico Border Summit at The University of Texas-Pan American.
"The passage of NAFTA has allowed a lot more capital flow in the U.S.-Mexico border," said Ross DeVol, director of Regional Studies for the Milken Institute. "The region reports a significant gain in growth. It has grown twice as fast as the rest of the United States."
As a direct result of the growth and expansion, the border region has outperformed the United States in almost every major industry, including agriculture, mining, construction and manufacturing.
The panelists said entrepreneurs have also had the opportunities to expand business and create jobs for area residents.
"Whether it's in Spanish, English or Tex-Mex, the words are very clear about the opportunities this area has for entrepreneurs," said Ed Munoz, chairman of the board and president of Ticona. "We need to tranform from the maquilla phase and move to the next phase, high-premiere competition."
Mike Allen, McAllen Economic Development Corporation president, gave a personal overview of the economic impact the region has experienced in the last few years.
"Those of us living in the Rio Grande Valley have to look at what is happening in our community, what is happening with NAFTA and what is happening with industry," Allen said. "The thing I believe is most important for us is that we are in the perfect position for manufacturing industries, and we must certainly invest our efforts in high quality education and work force."
Another important aspect panelists spoke about is population growth, which has expanded dramatically on the U.S. side of the border, and even moreso on the Mexican border.
"It is all about the people, not necessarily the numbers," said Samuel Marasco, president for LandGrant Development in San Diego. "We are all custodians for the next generations, and we are laying the foundation for a better place to live."

KALAMAZOO -- Elsa Hahne has been praised for her cookbook "You Are Where You Eat: Stories and Recipes from the Neighborhoods of New Orleans," but she preferred the reaction she received from guests at the Kalamazoo Public Library last week -- shock.
"The book is nothing special to people from Louisiana," Hahne said after her talk on Wednesday. "Nobody says 'What? He did what?' like they did here."
Hahne's book, which is available at the library, has stories about home cooks who lodge whole boiled eggs in meat loaf, put stuffing into the head cavities of crawfish, and hunt snapping turtles to make gumbo.
Hahne's appearance in Kalamazoo, where she spoke to an audience of about 30, was her first book-tour visit outside of Louisiana.
Commenting on one of Hahne's stories, library visitor Mertis Davis-Burns said after Hahne's talk, "It took that one guy four hours to clean a turtle and it was enough for two people. I'm like 'Wow!' I thought that was fascinating."
Davis-Burns was referring to a book excerpt Hahne had read about New Orleans home cook Numa James Martinez, who hunts Chocktaw snapping turtles in swamps, cuts their heads off, hangs them on a fence to drain them of blood, then cracks their shells with a roofing hatchet to get at their meat. He uses the turtle meat to make gumbo.
Hahne's book, published in 2008 by University Press of Mississippi, includes profiles of 33 home cooks that Hahne developed by visiting the cooks where they live.
The cooks talk about themselves and their cooking in their own words, and the information is coupled with 85 recipes and Hahne's own black-and-white and color photographs.
Hahne, who moved to New Orleans in 2002, worked on the book from 2004 to 2007, before and after 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
The project started as a traveling exhibit of 10 panels featuring home cooks from all around the city. But the exhibit was destroyed by the hurricane.
"The only way I could save and salvage the raw materials that were still on computer was to continue to do more and more, and turn it into a book. So I kept plugging away at it for a couple of years," Hahne told a reporter for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
She focused on home cooks because she wanted to honor the efforts of average people, she said last week in Kalamazoo.
Several library guests said the excerpts Hahne read from her book made the people she wrote about come alive. "Hearing people's stories connected to food is interesting, and she (Hahne) is very good at that," said guest Valerie Wright.
Virtually all the ethnic strains of New Orleans are represented in her book: Creole, African-American, American Indian, Isleno, Cajun, Italian, Irish, Greek, Hungarian, Croatian, Cuban, Honduran, Mexican, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino and others. The 85 recipes cover the classics such as daube glace, crawfish bisque, red beans and rice as well as crawfish samosas, spring rolls, satsumas with sangria syrup, Mojo sauce and more.
Hahne, a mother of two, is a native of Sweden and lived in France and New York, among other places, before moving to New Orleans after meeting her future husband on her first night visiting the city. She writes for Offbeat Magazine, which focuses on New Orleans' music scene.
The food is quite different in her native land compared to her current hometown.
"In Sweden they would use one clove of garlic, maybe two for a dish," Hahne said after her talk. "Now, in Louisiana, I feel if I open up a head of garlic, might as well use the whole thing."
Newhouse News Service reporter Judy Walker contributed to this report.

Ex-Ebony editor Hans Massaquoi dies
MIAMI -- Hans Massaquoi, a former managing editor of Ebony magazine who wrote a distinctive memoir about his unusual childhood growing up black in Nazi Germany, has died. He was 87.
His son said Massaquoi died Saturday, on his 87th birthday, in Jacksonville. He had been hospitalized over the Christmas holidays.
"He had quite a journey in life," said Hans J. Massaquoi, Jr., of Detroit. "Many have read his books and know what he endured. But most don't know that he was a good, kind, loving, fun-loving, fair, honest, generous, hardworking and open-minded man. He respected others and commanded respect himself. He was dignified and trustworthy. We will miss him forever and try to live by his example."
In an interview in 2000, the elder Massaquoi told the Associated Press that he credited the late Alex Haley, author of "Roots," with convincing him to share his experience of being "both an insider in Nazi Germany and, paradoxically, an endangered outsider." His autobiography, "Destined to Witness: Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany," was published in the U.S. in 1999 and a German translation was also published.
Massaquoi's mother was a German nurse and his father was the son of a Liberian diplomat. He grew up in working class neighborhoods of the port city of Hamburg.
Massaquoi recounted a story from 1933, when he was in second grade in Hamburg. Wanting to show what a good German he was, Massaquoi said he cajoled his baby sitter into sewing a swastika onto his sweater. When his mother spotted it that evening, she snipped it off, but a teacher had already taken a snapshot. Massaquoi, the only dark-skinned child in the photo, is also the only one wearing a swastika.
He writes that one of his saddest moments as a child was when his homeroom teacher told him he couldn't join the Hitler Youth.
"Of course I wanted to join. I was a kid and most of my friends were joining," he said. "They had cool uniforms and they did exciting things -- camping, parades, playing drums."

One of the world's largest IT companies is spending $100 million on a new research centre in the city's downtown core.Cisco hopes to woo the best and brightest minds in the tech field to live, work, and play in Toronto.The city will be Cisco's main hub for an expansion that will see it bring an estimated $4 billion to Ontario's economy over the next decade.The company announced plans to build research and development facilities in December.Toronto is one of only 4 locations in the world in which the company has committed its 'Internet of Everything' program.The California-based firm, which is the world's largest maker of computer-networking equipment, says investment includes infrastructure, technology, staffing and operational costs at the Internet of Everything Innovation Centre.Internet of Everything (IoE) refers to machine-to-machine (M2M), person-to-machine (P2M), and person-to-person (P2P) connections.Such technology could be use to collect information from items like car sensors and medical devices for networked data bases.Cisco estimates the industry will be worth $19 trillion by 2022, including $500 billion in Canada.The Toronto centre will focus on helping startups, medium- to large-sized companies, industry and government with Canadian-based innovations and serve as Cisco's Canadian headquarters.Other cities tapped for centres include Songdo, South Korea, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a city in Germany, yet to be announced.``Innovation Centres are a key pillar of our strategy to impact the productivity and innovation trajectory of Canada,'' said Nitin Kawale, president of Cisco Canada.``The Internet of Everything is not only changing the world, but creating new opportunities. Connecting the unconnected has the potential to bring revolutionary change to industries, including: healthcare, education, municipalities, transportation and construction.''This 'win' for Toronto would suggest Mayor Rob Ford's very public gaffes and scandals can be set aside when there's money on the line.It was Toronto's Deputy Mayor who shook hands with the top executives at Cisco at a news conference on Wednesday.Ford is nowhere to be found."The strength of the city trumps all of the other stuff that goes on on late-night shows," says Kelly, referring to the Mayor's recent guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.Kelly gave credit to city councillor Michael Thompson, Chair of City Hall's Economic Development Committee, saying he was was key to closing the deal with Cisco.As much $220 million in subsidies from the provincial government sweetened the agreement but Cisco's top executives say it could not have happened without help from Toronto City Hall."Its been a very positive experience throughout city hall ... its working very well," says chairman Paul Zed."With the vibrancy that we feel and see in Toronto, we feel that this is actually the place to go and I am convinced that this will be a hub of innovation and job creation," he adds.Cisco Canada president Nitin Kawale was asked whether Ford's struggles gave the company second thoughts about investing in Toronto. He says it did not factor into the decision."Our decisions are based on a very long term view," Kawale says, "situations come and go - we're here for the long-term."
Mayor Ford feels he was snubbed.
He says it was his administration that created the business climate for Cisco to commit to the city.
"I'm the one who has made the environment for these businesses to come here," he says, "we have 150 cranes in the sky and we have the lowest tax rate - that was my hard work."
Ford has a point.
The company says Toronto's civic policies and tax structure are part of what makes the city a good fit.
On the other hand, Ford was shut out of the negotiation process because it was Queen's Park that put up the money for the subsidies.
Since the crack video scandal broke, the Premier's office has worked around the Mayor and only deals with Toronto's Deputy Mayor.
The research centre is expected to open in the Spring of 2015.

Treasuries Fall Before ECB Meeting, as Asian Stocks Gain
Treasuries declined before the European Central Bank holds a policy meeting this week on prospects the ECB will buy bonds to lower government borrowing costs in the euro area.
U.S. debt pared a monthly advance as Asian stocks climbed, sapping the allure of Treasuries as a haven. Five-year note yields were about nine basis points from a record low as the Federal Reserve starts a two-day meeting today amid speculation it will take measures to keep interest rates lower to stimulate the world's largest economy.
"Demand for Treasuries as a safe asset is easing because of expectations for policy development in Europe," said Hitoshi Asaoka, a Tokyo-based senior strategist at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., a unit of Japan's third-largest bank by market value. "People are expecting the ECB to buy Spanish and Italian bonds to curb increases in their borrowing costs."
The 10-year yield gained two basis points to 1.52 percent as of 6:39 a.m. in London. The 1.75 percent security due May 2022 lost 5/32, or $1.56 per $1,000 face amount, to 102 3/32, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. Five-year yields were little changed from yesterday at 0.62 percent, compared with the all-time low of 0.53 percent on July 25.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of shares climbed 1.2 percent.
Japan's 10-year bond yield added one basis point to 0.79 percent, according to Japan Bond Trading Co., the nation's largest interdealer debt broker. It reached 0.72 percent on July 23, the lowest since June 2003.
ECB Policy
Ten-year Treasury yields completed a three-day, 16 basis point increase on July 27 after ECB President Mario Draghi said the central bank is "ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro."
Members of the ECB's Governing Council will meet on Aug. 2. to determine their next move to combat the debt crisis that has pushed up borrowing costs for Italy and Spain, the euro area's third- and fourth-largest economies.
Spanish 10-year yields have pared their advance since climbing to a euro-era record of 7.75 percent on July 25. The benchmark rate slid to 6.61 percent yesterday. The equivalent rate in Italy has dropped to 6.03 percent from a six-month high of 6.71 percent.
Government of Singapore Investment Corp., a manager of more than $100 billion, cut investments in bonds to 17 percent of its portfolio in the year ended March 31 from 22 percent a year earlier, according to its annual report. The sovereign wealth fund boosted cash holdings to 11 percent from 3 percent.
"We reduced the allocation to bonds because bond yields in the developed markets had been pushed down to abnormally low levels by the flight to safe assets and central bank intervention," Chief Investment Officer Ng Kok Song wrote in the report.
Fed Expectations
Ten-year Treasury yields have fallen 13 basis points in July as expectations for additional monetary easing by the Fed boosted demand for the securities.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on July 17 that policy makers are "looking for ways to address the weakness in the economy should more action be needed." The U.S. central bank said in January that its benchmark interest rate will stay at "exceptionally low levels" at least through late 2014, extending its pledge from the middle of 2013.
"If the late-2014 guidance for the first rate hike is extended to 2015, its main impact will be felt in the 5-year sector," Bulent Baygun, head of U.S. interest-rate strategy at BNP Paribas SA in New York, wrote in a research note yesterday. Investors betting on the extension should buy five-year notes, whose rates may fall to 0.5 percent, the strategist wrote.
U.S. Economy
U.S. consumer spending probably rose 0.1 percent in June following no change in May, according to the median estimate of economists in a Bloomberg News survey taken before the Commerce Department releases figures today.
The Conference Board's index of consumer confidence probably fell in July for a fifth month, the longest stretch of declines since the first half of 2008, a separate poll of economists showed. The gauge is estimated to have fallen to 61.5 from 62 in June.
"We can't expect a significant improvement in the U.S. economy, and that's weighing on Treasury yields," said Makoto Suzuki, a senior bond strategist in Tokyo at Okasan Securities Co. "The Fed may extend its pledge to keep interest rates low for longer."
The Fed is scheduled today to buy as much as $5 billion of Treasuries maturing in July 2018 to May 2020. The purchases are part of the central bank's plan, known as Operation Twist, to swap short-term debt in its holdings for longer maturities.

text: The problem with writing about using these services is any description we could give in words would make it seem lame compared to what's around today. I still occasionally connect to BBSes and play games and trade messages and such, but it's mostly for nostalgic purposes as those methods are largely impractical with email and IM in the state it is today. 20 years ago it was really hard to even imagine things evolving like they did. I suppose it's somewhat akin to reading books compared to watching TV. In the early days of TV, the quality was so bad that it was actually easier to imagine the world you were being thrown into by reading about it than by trying to fill in the gaps left by the screen. As time moves forward, these gaps are closing more and more, and as such, the visual medium is catching up to the written word in its ability to convey a story or setting. In a world paid for by ads, it's even harder to imagine how these old-timey services even existed. It all started as an academic exercise, and then expanded to some of the larger companies with needs to communicate data more efficiently. It was a wide-open infrastructure until people started abusing it. To finally get to your question after too much ado, I would get on and start looking for people who liked the same things I did. Not easy to find for someone who likes things not a whole lot of other people liked. Message boards, newsgroups, etc. A lot of research material was being offered in text format at the time, so I did a lot of digging in those fields too. All text, on a 80x25 terminal, moving at exactly the speed of mud. It was still faster than schlepping down to the library and digging through the books manually..... but only if what I was looking for was even available. With BBSes came color and crude animations, and thus the cycle repeats. in summary: it was just like what we have today, minus the pictures and trolls. -wes PS welcome to the last, best hope for good sci-fi :) On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 2:07 PM, Alex Smith (K4RNT) <shadowhunter at gmail.com>wrote: > I've been researching on Wikipedia, and came across the articles for > Tymnet and Telenet.

Professional Woodworkers Sharing Business Strategies
Joining an organization can give you a leg up
Written by John English Monday, 17 June 2013 00:00
Every industry has its share of professional organizations and the woodworking industry is no exception. Is it worth joining one?
Keep it simple and check your ego at the door
Written by David Getts Monday, 20 May 2013 00:00
You are probably familiar with the saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none." This refers to someone who is adequate at performing many tasks, but not an expert in anything. There's nothing wrong with being that way, but it does limit how far you can go in a specialized profession.
When it comes time to wind down business
Written by Lloyd R. Manning Monday, 15 April 2013 00:00
For many woodworking shop owners, the enthusiasm that propelled them for many years is not what it once was. Age has taken its toll. You could be thinking that perhaps it is time to move on or sell out and gallop off into the sunset. However, often that creates a problem. Finding a buyer who is ready, willing and has the wherewithal to do so is seldom easy. Obtaining what could be considered a fair price with equitable terms could prove still more difficult.
What do the new tax laws mean for you?
Written by Mark E. Battersby Monday, 18 March 2013 00:00
The so-called "fiscal cliff" tax package recently signed into law renewed more than 50 temporary tax breaks through 2013, saving individuals and businesses an estimated $76 billion. On the downside, employees are already finding less in their paychecks because the American Taxpayer Relief Act did not extend the payroll tax holiday that had reduced Social Security payroll deductions from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent on earned income up to the Social Security wage base ($113,700 for 2013). It is a similar story for the self-employed worker.
Joinery juxtaposition
Written by John English Monday, 18 February 2013 00:00
Mortise-and-tenon, dowel and dovetail joints have been tested through the centuries and have proved their worth. In the mid-1950s, joinery departed from the traditional when Swiss woodworker Hermann Steiner invented Lamello biscuit joinery, and in 1986 it took another big step when Craig Sommerfeld came up with the Kreg pocket-hole jig. Since then we've seen a series of attempts at improving the way that we stick two pieces of wood together.

I love Babs. But it really seems like he's losing the locker room, along with his mind. Maybe he's just been here too long. Everyone who's ever played for him and spoken about him has said he's one of those "hard" coaches. Often that kind of style only works for so long.
Him, the team, everything - it feels tired, old, stale. To put it mildly.
This is Babcock's 9th year coaching the Wings, and I think his style has absolutely worn out its welcome to the organization. It's not necessarily a good thing to keep the same coach for so long, even if he is a good one. Hell, even Bowman never stuck around longer than 9 years with any one of the 5 teams he coached. But of course he's an exception anyway since he's arguably the best coach of all time in any major sport, but I digress...
A lot of the blame, like many are saying, falls on Holland. He is loyal to a fault and it has blinded him into making bad decisions, too many to list right now.
A lot of people are saying trade the dead weight, but what GM in their right mind would be willing to acquire the likes of Cleary, Sammy, Quincey, etc.? I think we are stuck with pretty much all of them barring injury and yet I still have faint hope they'll figure out a way to get their act together(getting healthy would help), but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we struggle mightily to make the playoffs this year, and could very well miss out. But that may be what it takes to actually make some positive changes. The next 20 or so games should really tell us if we've got a chance to make some noise this year

12 Years a Slaveby Ira Berlin Henry Louis Gates Solomon Northup Steve Mcqueen
The official movie tie-in edition to the winner of the 2014 Academy Award for Best Picture, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, and Lupita Nyong'o, and directed by Steve McQueen New York Times bestseller "I could not believe that I had never heard of this book. It felt as important as Anne Frank's Diary, only published nearly a hundred years before. . . . The book blew [my] mind: the epic range, the details, the adventure, the horror, and the humanity. . . . I hope my film can play a part in drawing attention to this important book of courage. Solomon's bravery and life deserve nothing less." --Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years a Slave, from the Foreword Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history. It recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, D.C., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery. He spent the next twelve years of his life in captivity on a Louisiana cotton plantation. After his rescue, Northup published this exceptionally vivid and detailed account of slave life. It became an immediate bestseller and today is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave.

Colored Peopleby Henry Louis Gates
From an American Book Award-winning author comes a pungent and poignant masterpiece of recollection that ushers readers into a now-vanished "colored" world and extends and deepens our sense of African-American history, even as it entrances us with its bravura storytelling.
Finding Oprah's Rootsby Henry Louis Gates
Finding Oprah's Roots will not only endow readers with a new appreciation for the key contributions made by history's unsung but also equip them with the tools to connect to pivotal figures in their own past. A roadmap through the intricacies of public documents and online databases, the book also highlights genetic testing resources that can make it possible to know one's distant tribal roots in Africa.For Oprah, the path back to the past was emotion-filled and profoundly illuminating, connecting the narrative of her family to the larger American narrative and "anchoring" her in a way not previously possible. For the reader, Finding Oprah's Roots offers the possibility of an equally rewarding experience.From the Hardcover edition.
Finding Your Rootsby Henry Louis Gates David Altshuler
Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the companion book to the PBS documentary series seen by 30 million people. As Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. shows us, the tools of cutting-edge genomics and deep genealogical research now allow us to learn more about our roots, looking further back in time than ever before. Gates's investigations take on the personal and genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries, including United States Congressman John Lewis, actor Robert Downey Jr., CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, President of the "Becoming American Institute" Linda Chavez, and comedian Margaret Cho. Interwoven with their moving stories of immigration, assimilation, strife, and success, Gates provides practical information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival research on their own families' roots, and he details the advances in genetic research now available to the public. The result is an illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our roots, and how we can find them again.
The Future of the Raceby Cornel West Henry Louis Gates
Almost one-hundred years ago, W.E.B. Du Bois proposed the notion of the "talented tenth," an African American elite that would serve as leaders and models for the larger black community. In this unprecedented collaboration, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Cornel West--two of Du Bois's most prominent intellectual descendants--reassess that relationship and its implications for the future of black Americans. If the 1990s are the best of times for the heirs of the Talented Tenth, they are unquestionably worse for the growing black underclass. As they examine the origins of this widening gulf and propose solutions for it, Gates and West combine memoir and biography, social analysis and cultural survey into a book that is incisive and compassionate, cautionary and deeply stirring.
In Search of Our Rootsby Henry Louis Gates
Unlike most white Americans who, if they are so inclined, can search their ancestral records, identifying who among their forebears was the first to set foot on this country's shores, most African Americans, in tracing their family's past, encounter a series of daunting obstacles. Slavery was a brutally efficient nullifier of identity, willfully denying black men and women even their names. Yet, from that legacy of slavery, there have sprung generations who've struggled, thrived, and lived extraordinary lives. For too long, African Americans' family trees have been barren of branches, but, very recently, advanced genetic testing techniques, combined with archival research, have begun to fill in the gaps. Here, scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., backed by an elite team of geneticists and researchers, takes nineteen extraordinary African Americans on a once unimaginable journey, tracing family sagas through U.S. history and back to Africa. Those whose recovered pasts collectively form an African American "people's history" of the United States include celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Rock, Don Cheadle, Chris Tucker, Morgan Freeman, Tina Turner, and Quincy Jones; writers such as Maya Angelou and Bliss Broyard; leading thinkers such as Harvard divinity professor Peter Gomes, the Reverend T. D. Jakes, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, and sociologist Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot; and famous achievers such as astronaut Mae Jemison, media personality Tom Joyner, decathlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Ebony and Jet publisher Linda Johnson Rice. More than a work of history, In Search of Our Roots is a book of revelatory importance that, for the first time, brings to light the lives of ordinary men and women who, by courageous example, blazed a path for their famous descendants. For a reader, there is the stirring pleasure of witnessing long-forgotten struggles and triumphs-but there's an enduring reward as well. In accompanying the nineteen contemporary achievers on their journey into the past and meeting their remarkable forebears, we come to know ourselves.From the Hardcover edition.
The Light of Truthby Henry Louis Gates Ida B. Wells Mia Bay
The broadest and most comprehensive collection of writings available by an early civil and women's rights pioneerSeventy-one years before Rosa Parks's courageous act of resistance, police dragged a young black journalist named Ida B. Wells off a train for refusing to give up her seat. The experience shaped Wells's career, and--when hate crimes touched her life personally--she mounted what was to become her life's work: an anti-lynching crusade that captured international attention.This volume covers the entire scope of Wells's remarkable career, collecting her early writings, articles exposing the horrors of lynching, essays from her travels abroad, and her later journalism. The Light of Truth is both an invaluable resource for study and a testament to Wells' long career as a civil rights activist.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Manby Henry Louis Gates
"This is a book of stories," writes Henry Louis Gates, "and all might be described as 'narratives of ascent.'" As some remarkable men talk about their lives, many perspectives on race and gender emerge. For the notion of the unitary black man, Gates argues, is as imaginary as the creature that the poet Wallace Stevens conjured in his poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." James Baldwin, Colin Powell, Harry Belafonte, Bill T. Jones, Louis Farrakhan, Anatole Broyard, Albert Murray -- all these men came from modest circumstances and all achieved preeminence. They are people, Gates writes, "who have shaped the world as much as they were shaped by it, who gave as good as they got." Three are writers -- James Baldwin, who was once regarded as the intellectual spokesman for the black community; Anatole Broyard, who chose to hide his black heritage so as to be seen as a writer on his own terms; and Albert Murray, who rose to the pinnacle of literary criticism. There is the general-turned-political-figure Colin Powell, who discusses his interactions with three United States presidents; there is Harry Belafonte, the entertainer whose career has been distinct from his fervent activism; there is Bill T. Jones, dancer and choreographer, whose fierce courage and creativity have continued in the shadow of AIDS; and there is Louis Farrakhan, the controversial religious leader. These men and others speak of their lives with candor and intimacy, and what emerges from this portfolio of influential men is a strikingly varied and profound set of ideas about what it means to be a black man in America today.

Construction ban lifted of Cidco project near Taloja jail: HC
By Accommodation Times News Service
In a relief to CIDCO, the Bombay High Court today lifted the ban on construction of its two housing projects in the vicinity of Taloja jail in Navi Mumbai.
A division bench of Justices N H Patil and V L Achliya today permitted City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO) to go ahead with the construction of buildings in its two housing projects.
Another bench of the High Court had on December 12 last year directed the Maharashtra government to stop all construction activity within 500metres of Taloja jail. The order was passed in a petition filed by Ramesh Upadhyay, an accused in the Malegaon 2008 blast case, raising concerns about existing and under-construction high raises that pose a security threat to the inmates of Taloja jail.
Pursuant to the order, stop work notices were issued to 13 housing projects coming up in the vicinity. These included two CIDCO projects.
CIDCO's lawyer Ganesh Hegde today sought the court to vacate the ban and said, "Out of two projects, 24 buildings in one project have already been constructed and in the other projects buildings have come up to the 14th floor." Advocate General Darius Khambata informed the court that the state government is likely to take its final decision within six weeks on the recommendations submitted by a committee appointed in 2008 in the issue.
"The committee had anyways not recommended a blanket ban on construction. Blanket ban is only for construction within 150 meters of the jail premises. Beyond that certain restrictions will be imposed like height and no windows facing the jail and so on. Demolition of any building is out of question," Khambata said.
He said that the government resolution dated December 4, 2013 regarding construction on ban upto 500 meters around any jail in the state would have a prospective effect and will not apply to those buildings already constructed. The bench, while allowing CIDCO to go ahead with its projects, clarified that the permission was only for those buildings which have already been constructed beyond the restricted height.276

Leadership, religion, kinship, warfare, exchange, ancestors – in all of the areas that anthropology has traditionally taken as its object, power and the people who hold it have been central themes for study. However, power took on a new relevance in the wake of the social movements that emerged in the 1960s and '70s in the United States and Europe (feminism, the civil rights movement, gay rights, etc.) and through the processes leading to and following decolonization in other parts of the world, as reflected in new forms of interdisciplinary scholarship such as Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, etc. These new theoretical paradigms emphasized pop and popular cultures, history from below, subaltern positionings and resistance in the context of colonial or male domination, cultural minorities, in short all those social actors forgotten or silenced by traditional social scientific analysis. These approaches have rendered these subjects legitimate objects of study and find a large echo in anthropology today. In so doing, they have also directed our attention to the biases that structure much scientific discourse (Eurocentrism, androcentrism, etc.), bringing power and critical reflections thereon to the very heart of our discipline.
This issue of Tsantsa seeks contributions (in English, German or French) aiming to deepen our understanding of what we mean by « relations of power ». What more specifically do we mean by this phrase ? What in particular does anthropology have to offer in studying power ? How can we identify and describe power with an eye not only to its effects but to its dynamics ? What have the various social movements mentioned above brought to anthropology (new tools ? new perspectives ? other forms of bias ?) ? In particular, we seek contributions that combine some or all of these theoretical questionings with empirical studies based on fieldwork.
Please send your 600-1000 word abstracts to Séverine Rey (firstname.lastname@example.com), along with a short biographical note, by May 1st, 2007.
The final versions of the paper are due at the 30th of September 2007. They will be submitted to a double assessment (internal and external).
For further information regarding Tsantsa, the review of the Swiss Anthropological Society, as well as for more details on our publishing policy, please go to: http://www.seg-sse.ch/pdf/Instructions_Tsantsa.pdf
Thank you for sending this call to potential contributors!

Is a project management certification useful for designers? I have seen
a few project management certifications - one at CompTIA [1] and another
at PMI [2].
I'm sure all design projects require some form of project management,
but do design projects require the rigor that these certifications
offer? I haven't yet seen designer resumes that mention a project
management certification.

At Digité (www.digite.com) we are in the process of building a
project/project portfolio management system and during the process
I've been required to learn a lot about Project Management as a field
and I believe it can bring a lot to how one manages design projects.
A PMI certification might be a bit too much IMHO unless it helps you
move up the career ladder or if you wish to move into Project/Program
management which is a very good option for UX people wanting to move
up to something else.
There are a lot of books on project management that should help you
though. Two books I would suggest are 'Deadline' by Tom DeMarco and
'Critical Chain' by Eli Goldratt. These are like novels and de-mystify
the whole field of PM for the lay person. Apart from that there a tons
of books on software project management including 'Mythical Man
Month', 'Antipatterns' and 'Software Project Survival Guide'
All this however does not help improve the 'quality' of design. And
though I'm still not a good project manager, but the theory does help
a bit.
There is one aspect that kept me away from project management all this
while. My typical assessment of PMs are people you like breaking down
projects into tasks and specifically tasks that have a definite due
date... (so that they can breathe down your neck when the date
approaches) This was some how contradictory to the free spirit of
design I've always believed in ;). But then our chairman once made a
statement that has struck with me.
His precise words were: "Creativity and disciple are not in conflict..."
That really helped me look at things differently...

Monday, January 14, 2013
Dear Editor:
This is a response to the recent letter from Mr. Lewis concerning my letter about (Jeff) Cruce dissatisfaction.
Hanahan has never won a football championship. I know Cruce's Hanahan football record was in a very easy region with an influx of players from Cainhoy High School after it closed.
The former coach from Berkeley left due to his health, not what players were coming back.
You are certainly a friend of Coach Cruce from his Hanahan days, and I can appreciate that. I think that Coach Cruce cares about his players, too. I have never sent a play to Cruce or wanted to call his plays. I simply stated my thoughts from 48 years of Berkeley Stags football with no real response from the coach unless I sent him a donation of money for trips, etc.
Comparing Hanahan to Berkeley in football is like apples and oranges. Hanahan has always been a baseball school and not a football power.
I just want to say I am and have always been open to the coach but he does not like my thoughts, so be it. I too await next year with great excitement and hope.
My last thought is, your former coach set the bar for the team by stating in the newspaper to judge him on 2012, not 2011. I simply did that and frankly he didnt reach expectations whether it was players or coaching. I personally think 2013 is the year, great improvements need to be accomplished or a change is needed.

July 15 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
Here are 10 things you should know for Tuesday, July 15:
1. -- U.S. stock futures were mixed Tuesday ahead of earnings reports from bank and technology companies and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's semiannual testimony to Congress.
European stocks slid on Tuesday following disappointing news on investor sentiment in Germany.
Asian shares finished the session higher.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Tuesday includes retail sales for June at 8:30 a.m. EDT, the Empire State Manufacturing Index for July at 8:30 a.m., export and import prices for June at 8:30 a.m., and business inventories for May at 10 a.m.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Monday finished with healthy gains Monday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed well above the psychological threshold of 17,000.
The Dow hit an intraday record high of 17,088.43 before settling 0.66% higher at 17,056. The S&P 500 climbed 0.48% to 1,977.1, while the Nasdaq gained 0.56% to 4,440.42.
4. -- Microsoft
The job cuts -- which may be unveiled as soon as this week -- will probably be in areas such as Nokia and divisions of Microsoft that overlap with that business, as well as marketing and engineering, the people told Bloomberg.
The restructuring may end up being the biggest in Microsoft history, topping the 5,800 jobs cut in 2009, two of the people said. Some details are still being worked out, two of the people told Bloomberg.
The announcement would come one week after CEO Satya Nadella issued his first company mission statement, calling for greater emphasis on mobile devices, cloud-computing and productivity software, Bloomberg noted.
5. -- JPMorgan Chase
The bank, the nation's largest by assets, posted year-earlier earnings of $6.5 billion, or $1.45 a share on revenue of $25.2 billion.
6. -- Goldman Sachs
7. -- The National Basketball Association is seeking to double the TV-rights fees it receives from Walt Disney
Disney and Turner have eight-year contracts in place that run through the 2015-2016 season, but the companies are already in preliminary discussions with the league about extending their deals. Disney is currently paying about $485 million a year, while Turner's deal is worth $445 million a year. Given those terms, doubling the payments implies the new deals would be worth a total of nearly $15 billion for the NBA, assuming the length of the new deals remains eight years, according to the Journal.
