Why Qualcomm's Lauer Joined Little-Known Memjet
It was a bit of a mystery when Len Lauer resigned as chief operating officer of Qualcomm last month. It was equally puzzling when he surfaced a couple of weeks later at Memjet, a closely held company most people have never heard of.
Lauer has a reputation as a communications-industry heavyweight. After more than 10 years at IBM, he took jobs like chief executive of Bell Atlantic-New Jersey and COO of Sprint Nextel before joining Qualcomm in late 2006. In becoming CEO of Memjet, he is changing industries to lead an ambitious effort to shake up the printer market.
What's so different about Memjet's approach? For starters, conventional inkjet printers have a print head that moves back and forth across the page. Consequently, they tend to be slow, noisy and shake your desk. (Not so laser printers, of course, but they tend to be relatively expensive).
Memjet hopes to market it calls a "page wide" print head, which remains stationary and lays down ink across a page as the paper moves past it. That increases printing speeds by eight to 10 times, Lauer says. He estimates its technology will print 60 pages per minute; while some conventional inkjet printers advertise 30 to 32 pages per minute, they more often complete six pages or so in that time, he says. Lauer also estimates that Memjet's ink costs will be 30% to 40% lower than current inkjet technology.
Memjet's assertions carry a bit more weight than your average startup's. The technology is the brainchild of Kia Silverbrook, a prolific inventor in Australia who was once a chief technology officer for Japan's Canon, one of the longtime kingpins in printer technology. Silverbrook has been working on the page wide approach for more than a dozen years; Memjet says it holds more than 2,600 patents, with 2,000 more pending.
The company–based, like Qualcomm, in San Diego–has more than 600 employees, with about 400 of its engineers in Sydney, Lauer says. Memjet has never disclosed precisely how much it has raised, but Lauer says the amount comes to "hundreds and hundreds of millions" of dollars. Its biggest investor is Argonaut Private Equity.
Memjet doesn't plan to make printers itself. Rather, it plans to sell print heads, ink and other components to companies that will sell printers. Potential customers could include the big companies that dominate the market–think of names like Canon, Hewlett-Packard and Xerox–as well as new companies that have never before been able to make printers.
In that way, Lauer says, the company could function a bit like Qualcomm did in cellphones–supplying chips to help scores of companies enter the handset market, which was once the exclusive preserve of giants like Nokia and Motorola. He says Memjet could help restructure the printer industry from a few vertically integrated giants to a broader "horizontal" ecosystem, with companies specializing in components, complete printers and so on.
"It's a pretty vertical industry," Lauer says, "and we come in with this horizontal play."
Charles LeCompte, president of the printer industry research firm Lyra Research, describes what Memjet is attempting as the most interesting thing going on in printers. But the gestation period has been lengthy. Silverbrook announced the technology publicly in 2007 but Memjet still is not shipping any products. "They've missed a bunch of deadlines," LeCompte says.
Lauer says Memjet expects to start delivering products in the second half of this year, initially targeting office printers, label printers and other business applications. It will take some time to generate the volume needed to drive costs down and approach the consumer printer market, he says, but he expects that to happen eventually.
In the meantime, all those patents could come in handy if some big company wants to use its own intellectual property to try to hobble the new competitor. "Is it helpful from a defensive standpoint to have those patents?" Lauer asks, rhetorically. "Yes, it's very helpful."

Since there have been at least ten other books on bleeding and coagulation disorders published in the 60's, one might well ask, "Why another?" Several answers are forthcoming: (1) Some facets of specific therapy, such as the use of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in classic hemophilia, the use of heparin in defibrination syndromes, and the use of epsilon aminocaproic acid in primary systemic fibrinolysis, are sufficiently recent in development that modern usage of these agents is not adequately described in other volumes. (2) Practical details of nonspecific management are often given short shrift. (3) Books of this nature generally give strong emphasis to details of laboratory methodology; there is need for a concise guide to the clinician who sees occasional patients with bleeding and coagulation disorders but who does not have access to a sophisticated coagulation laboratory. (4) Some volumes focus on a particular category of bleeding disorder rather than encompassing

Jean was very accessible and helpful in our house search process.
Not much. I think Jean did a great job, but it was just one sale and to recommend to a friend I would likely want more positive experiences. Plus Jean was brought on for the purchase of a specific house so did not experience her work in the other portion of helping someone purchase a home (looking at homes, helping them to focus their search, pricing, etc).

Honour Tucker and Robert Stetson were married in St. George's Church in Modbury, county of Devonshire, England. During the period of turmoil preceding England's Civil War, Robert and his wife decided to venture across the Atlantic Ocean for a new life in Scituate (Norwell) Plymouth Colony.
Bearing in mind that the English military system was based upon social standing, Robert was able to bear arms in 1643 and served as Cornet, an ancient term referring to the standard bearer of a light horse, non-artillery military unit. He became a freeman in 1652 and was known as Cornet Robert. He served as a member of the War Board – during King Philip's War – in 1658 or 1659, and as the commanding officer of the "Scituate Horse Troop," a military unit formed in Plymouth Colony. There were only two other troops in the entire Colony. He met with the Native Americans both in warfare and as a commissioner, negotiating in the settlement of their differences with the colonists.
Cornet Robert apportioned the common lands, laid out the highways and represented the Colony in establishing the line between the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay settlements. He was on the surveying party that chopped their way through the virgin forest and swamp land to mark this boundary line. The Angle Tree Stone, near the Rhode Island border, still bears his name and marks the western end of the boundary between Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies. The site where the line crossed the ancient nomadic "Sautucket Indian Path" (that ran from fishing grounds in Weymouth to their winter camps at Bridgewater) has recently been remarked by the Abington Historical Commission to comply with "a heap of stones" that the surveying party erected in 1664. In addition to his duties with the colony and town, he was also a business man, and built his first sawmill in 1656, later burned by Natives in 1676. He also acquired lands in addition to the original tract, and it is thought that he owned extensive acreage. In 1665, Cornet Stetson was chosen 'First Selectman' of the town of Scituate and given authority by the Magistrates to execute and enforce his judgment and try cases involving not to go over forty shillings.
The family lived on the North River and he owned three sawmills in the Scituate area. He was 90 when he died on February 1, 1702. His oldest son, Joseph Stetson, inherited and lived in the homestead until he was 81, and then sold it to Cornet's grandson Robert. This homestead property (known as the Shrine) has been in Stetson ownership continuously through the centuries and is now owned by the Stetson Kindred of America, Inc.
A copy of Cornet Robert's last will and testament, can be viewed here. For more information and related material, please visit the links below.

Gwynfor vs Margaret
Monday, 14.15, BBC Radio 4
Stuff you'd only get on Radio Four part 2364 – a drama about S4C! Of course it's the thirtieth anniversary of both that and its English language brother this week but while the current Channel Four, never knowingly interesting, isn't doing anything about it, it looks like S4C are churning out the clips most nights and showing programmes voted for by viewers – and brilliantly, the schedules all have "subsequent programmes are subject to change" disclaimers, so clearly they don't know what they're going to be showing and how long it'll be. The only English celebrations of this penblwydd hapus are here, which tells the true story of how Gwynfor Evans went on a hunger strike until the Government promised there'd be a Welsh TV channel.

Little Mombo
Amid the Game-Rich Floodplains
Little Mombo Camp is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the northern tip of Chief's Island within the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, northern Botswana. It is a smaller and more intimate camp than its sister, Mombo Camp, to which it is connected via a raised walkway. Little Mombo Camp is built under a shady canopy and has three luxurious, spacious rooms under canvas with en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers for guests looking to get closer to nature. Much of Little Mombo Camp overlooks the surrounding floodplains which offer some of the best big-game viewing in the Okavango Delta. A sala, large veranda and lounge area provide ample place to relax and enjoy the view. Little Mombo Camp also has its own dining room, kitchen and pool. Activities include morning and afternoon game drives. Open 4x4s provide an exquisite vantage for viewing the high concentrations of plains game and all the predators - including the big cats. Lion sightings are frequent. Guests at Little Mombo Camp can also expect to see leopards and cheetahs, wild dogs, spotted hyenas, large herds of buffalo, elephants, white rhinos, southern giraffe, blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra. Birdlife is prolific around Little Mombo Camp, with waterfowl like African jacana, pygmy-geese, massive goliath heron and migrant waders in summer being particularly common.

Six Countries Summer Special
10 Nov 15 - 20 Mar 16
Ever increasing in popularity, the summer months in Southern Africa (November – March) offer a different safari experience as short showers green the dry grasslands and clean the bright blue skies. Photographers delight in the clear light, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and rare bird sightings. Because the resident wildlife disperses to many abundant water sources, you may have to work a bit harder to see the animals, but you will have the added benefit of seeing many babies who arrive at this time of year. … read more

Students attending a mass city centre bar crawl have been slammed after daubing racist graffiti on official event T-shirts.
Around 2,000 tickets were sold ahead of the event, which saw students flock to bars along Deansgate Locks last night for the 'Pimps and Hoes' themed shindig.
A handful of participants were pictured sporting swastikas and messages of support for the BNP and serial killer Raoul Moat at the event.
Pat Karney, Manchester council lead member for the city centre, said: "These T-shirts are absolutely disgraceful and I think one or two of these students need a lesson from their history professors before engaging in such offensive behaviour.
"Such sentiments are truly appalling and not something the city wants to see in any way, shape or form.
"The vast majority of students were very well-behaved and they are an asset to the city and help support the economy. However, the actions of a handful of idiots has brought the event down and we will speak to the organisers about our concerns.
"The 'Carnage' branding and whole tone of the event needs a real re-think. The atmosphere of the wild west in the city centre, where you drink yourself silly is actually quite dated and something most students wouldn't support."
For a £10 ticket, students were given a T-shirt entitling them free entry to six bars between 9pm and 3am.
Previous Carnage events in other cities provoked outrage after students were caught urinating on war memorials.
The bar crawls are run by Varsity Leisure Group, which denies that the events encourage binge drinking.

Fall practice begins soon for the Bulldogs and the fans can't wait for head coach Mark Richt and his men to get back to work.
We know what to expect from players like Aaron Murray, Keith Marshall, Todd Gurley and Malcolm Mitchell as they are looking to lead the Bulldogs to a BCS title.
But in order for that to happen, some of the younger players have to exceed expectations. These players have to be on top of their game each week and not be afraid to take risks. The Bulldogs had it with Gurley and Marshall last year, but who will be the next group of Bulldogs to take the world by storm?
Here're five Bulldogs that will surprise in 2013.

Child Life
The team at the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center has treated more than 800 children since it opened in 2006. Our dedicated team of experts understands that children are not just "little adults." They require experts specifically trained in dealing with the unique emotional and medical needs of children. That's why at the Proton Therapy Center, we have a dedicated child life specialist on site to help patients and their families cope with cancer diagnosis and treatment.
While your child's nurse or physician can request assistance from the Proton Therapy Center's child life specialist, parents can also make this request. Simply call Quinn Franklin MS, CCLS at 713-745-0445 with questions, concerns or for assistance.
What is a child life specialist?
View full-size video (opens in new window)
A child life specialist is a trained professional with expertise in helping children and their families overcome life's most challenging events. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to health care issues, treatment and hospitalization. Because they understand that a child's wellbeing depends on the support of the family, child life specialists provide information, support and guidance to parents, siblings and other family members. They also play a vital role in educating caregivers, administrators, and the general public about the needs of children under stress.
How can a child life specialist help?
There are many ways a child life specialist can help a patient and their siblings during treatment. They include:
Coping Strategies: A child life specialist encourages effective coping and expression during the treatment experience.
Medical Preparation: Getting informative explanations and visual education can make upcoming procedures less difficult for children.
Medical Play: This can be tons of fun and helps educate patients and visitors about medical tools and procedures.
Diversion Therapy: Diversion from the challenges of hospitalization and procedures can help young patients focus on more enjoyable things.
Procedural Support: A child life specialist can provide beneficial support for patients during medical procedures.
What's Going On?: A child life specialist can help patients, siblings, other family members, friends and classmates understand the diagnosis and treatment process.
Helpful Routines: A child life specialist can provide tools for patients and their families such as Daily Schedules and Medicine Taking Compliance Charts during treatment.
Fun! Fun! Fun!: The Proton Therapy Center play areas provide safe and fun environments for participating in art, games and play – for patients and their siblings!
Learning and Education: Because most pediatric patients at the Proton Therapy Center undergo treatment for six to eight weeks, they sometimes are unable to continue their normal school routine. The Children's Cancer Hospital at MD Anderson has a Pediatric Education and Creative Arts Program that serves patients from Pre-K to 12th grade. All MD Anderson Proton Therapy patients are able to participate in this program.
Contact an education specialist for more information or to enroll your child at 713-745-5059 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also ask our child life specialist for more information about this program.

Hi I am the same, I love reading success stories and things!
I got to my highest weight last year and also got into diabetes territory last year. I was never officially diagnosed with anything more than prediabetes but that's probably because I avoided the doctor. If I had gone in between August-December last year I'm sure they would've upgraded my diagnosis!
I was having huge sugar binges, where I'd eat whole blocks of chocolate, packets of cookies, icecream etc. all in one sitting, and I was doing that once a week for a few months.
I started getting really bad lower leg swelling, my calves and ankles swelled up so badly I looked like I had sausage legs. I even got rolls on my feet from the swelling! I was so scared when that was happening. I didn't know why and I thought I was going to die or something because the stuff I read talked about heart failure. It is because of obesity and your heart struggling but I also now know there are links to diabetes as well.
I also started getting a lot of skin infections, which I was more prone to because of my diabetic/prediabetic state.
My fatigue levels were crazy and I was constantly crashing from my sugar highs.
After about 5 months primal I got my blood tests done again and my hba1c was totally normal - meaning my blood glucose over the last 3 months wasn't in the diabetic or prediabetic ranges.
My cholesterol also improved majorly. The good cholesterols went up and the bad cholesterols went down!
So this way of eating has absolutely resolved my blood sugar control issues. No more leg swellings, no more chronic skin infections, and my fatigue improves every day

Jailbreak iOS 4.1 On iPhone 4,iPad & iPod Touch 4G With Redsn0w
Posted: November 4th, 2010.
The iPhone Dev Team have released an enhanced version of the Redsn0w software that was released last month that let users of iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on their devices. The new Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 is capable of jailbreak all the iOS devices including iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and the iPad. The Dev team writes,
In the meantime, we've also incorporated the limera1n exploit into redsn0w. But we've added a few extras:
- custom bootlogos for iPhone3G/iPhone3GS/iPod2G users (with qualifying bootroms)
- an option that implements the "DFU" button in PwnageTool. This button (which you can use from Windows) lets you prepare your device for a custom DFU. Even if you're purely a Windows user, you can get a trusted friend to run PwnageTool over your IPSW to create a custom IPSW. You can now install that custom IPSW on your own Windows box, after you run this redsn0w version.
The latest release is available for both the Windows and Mac platforms and makes use of the very same Limera1n exploit that was used by George Hotz as well as the Chronic Dev team in their jailbreak releases. You can hit this link to read more about the latest update as well as on other important instructions.

Heisey grounds out to 3rd. Reds lose 4-0. 22 scoreless innings
Heisey grounds out to 3rd. Reds lose 4-0. 22 scoreless innings
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive
Pathetic offense..
Only bright spot tonight-- once Cingrani settled in, it was an overall great job from the bullpen. But with zilch in Reds run production, it's still a loss.
How appropriate that it ends with two out and a RISP. Make it 23 straight scoreless innings. Sigh.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
I love 'em, but man they suck right now.
Back after an hour and you guys couldn't even deliver one stinkin' run?
I'm channeling the lost decade the last week +. Sad part is I was 5-10 years younger then..
All Redszoners who think that "they're fine", better wake up from your dreams. Except for Ludwick (who may not even play this year or be productive if he does play), we have no hitters coming back. This team is in trouble.
Hoping the Nats and Giants stay in their funk at .500 or less. The 6th place NL team is 40-39 which explains the current wildcard #2 cushion.
This team can absorb no more injuries at this point to the rotation, bullpen or position players. They are in .500 ball hang on mode and hope the rest of the NL contenders like the Giants and Nats continue to be in full scale suck mode until August.
Robbie Ross would be huge help to Reds' pen. Sure the Rangers aren't looking to move him, but would love to have the Lexington product in a C hat.
Rounding third and heading for home...

"It's tax time. I know this because I'm staring at documents that make no sense to me, no matter how many beers I drink."
-Dave Barry
Got "stuck" in accounting or auditing and now you want to break into investment banking?
I discussed this exact topic with a reader recently – as one of the bonus consultations for the Investment Banking Networking Toolkit – and covered what to do.
So here's your step-by-step plan:
What You're Up Against
Think of every recruiting effort as a battle. Depending on your background, you'll have some advantages and some disadvantages over the enemy.
- Consultants: You can deal with crazy people and work long hours, but can you count? Do you know how to use Excel without the mouse?
- Liberal Arts Majors: You can communicate, but can you crunch numbers and burn the midnight oil?
- Engineers: You can stare at computer monitors without sleeping for days at a time, but can you talk to people? Are you really interested in finance?
- Lawyers: You can deal with psychotic people and work until you bleed, even tracking your time in 6-minute increments, but do you know how to value a company? And give up your career?
If you're coming from an accounting or auditing background, here's your challenge:
"I know that you know accounting inside and out, and that you're an Excel wiz. But are you motivated enough to work 100 hours a week? Why didn't you do investment banking from the start if you're really interested in it?"
So you need to have good answers to those 2 questions, because they'll be the key "objections" that any banker speaking with you will have (keep reading for suggested answers).
In Your Favor
On the other hand, you do have some things in your favor:
- They know you know how to "count" because accountants are pretty good at that.
- You "get" what any professional services business is all about – doing menial work for annoying and high-maintenance clients and changing periods and decimal places in documents.
- You may have better access to networking opportunities, depending on what firm you're at and what group you're in.
Telling Your Story
Before you even start recruiting, you need to lock this one down.
You want to use a variation of the following answer:
"I was really interested in accounting and finance all throughout school, and the opportunity to work at [FIRM NAME] just fell into my lap. I liked the [exposure to clients / culture / group], so I took the offer and have done very well over the past year there. But during that time, I've gotten increasingly interested in investment banking, because I've [been exposed via clients / heard a lot about it from friends / met bankers at such-and-such event]. I'm eager to move into something faster-paced that lets me actually work on transactions instead of just handling the paper-work and fact-checking afterward."
You might expand on that (interviews) or shorten it (networking) depending on the context, but that's the basic sketch you want to use.
Similar to any "Why investment banking?" question, specific events or people are almost a requirement. So if you had a revelation one morning after going to an alternative investments conference and meeting the top brass at SAC, make that part of your story.
Bankers love to think they are important and lead interesting lives, so play on their egos and emphasize how fast-paced it is and how you would get more responsibility / meaningful work.
Networking Ninja Tactics
Once you figure out what you're going to say, you need to figure out who you'll say it to.
Even if you're working full-time, networking is not much different from what MBA/university students do: you still use alumni, referrals, and possibly cold-calling depending on what you're aiming for.
The difference is that you'll have a lot more co-workers, former co-workers, and clients/former clients that you can use for networking purposes.
You do have to use discretion, but all of these sources give you a big advantage over students who need to network to get in.
Unless you have amazing connections at bulge bracket banks, don't waste your time applying there. Go for boutiques, middle-market firms, and any group where in-depth accounting knowledge might come in handy: Financial Institutions / Restructuring – you bet. Technology – not so much.
If you truly have no alumni connections, no professional referrals you can use, and no other links to finance, then you'll need to get them.
Join professional societies, go to conferences, and look up events on nearby campuses if you want to start building these connections.
Otherwise you'll need to do a lot of cold-calling, which is covered in this podcast, in this video, this case study, these case studies, The Investment Banking Networking Toolkit, and probably other places I'm forgetting about right now.
Transaction Advisory Services
Networking is great, but there's another method available to accountants as well: get into the Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) group at your firm.
Not all accounting firms have these, but the Big 4 and some smaller companies certainly do.
In the TAS group you work with bankers and client companies on transactions, assisting with valuation, due diligence, and sometimes effectively acting as the M&A advisor on the deal.
This helps you in two ways:
- Your work looks much closer to banking.
- You get better access to contacts in finance.
Do you transfer to TAS first, or do you try to move into investment banking from another group first?
If it will take 1 year+ to transfer, test the waters right now and see what response you get from banks.
But if you can do it more quickly than that, make the transfer first and then think about banking after you've been there for awhile.
Spinning Your Resume
So now you have your story down and you're in the midst of networking and working the phones.
Almost everyone will ask for your resume, so you need to get that right.
The number one mistake you can make as an accountant is writing too much about accounting and not enough about finance.
If you start going into details on general ledgers, journal entries, SOX controls, and other accounting topics, any banker looking at it will think, "Ok, he's accountant material. PASS."
Instead, you need to spin what you did to make it seem more relevant to finance.
Use the "Experienced" template here and make every client into a "Project" entry on your resume – but remember that you are applying for finance jobs, not accounting jobs.
- "Performed Sarbanes-Oxley testing and found that client's controls were sufficient; reviewed journal entries and determined that client's reserves were appropriate, which allowed them to project prices of raw materials for upcoming construction project."
This would sound much better if you titled the entry "Raw Material Price Prediction Model" rather than "SOX Testing" and wrote:
- "Worked with client to develop Excel model that allowed them to project prices of raw materials based on previous historical patterns and proven reserves; client later used this as supplement to financial statements and in own internal projections to validate potential return on new construction project."
In this case, we've shifted the focus to a very, very small part of what you did – this Excel model – and removed the parts that sound too much like accounting.
Think about which projects can be spun into sounding finance-related, pick those, and then focus on the relevant parts and cut anything that doesn't sound banking-related.
In Interviews
Most interviews will be focused on the "Are you motivated enough to work 100 hours a week rather than 60?" and the "Why didn't you get into finance earlier?" questions.
For the first one, you need specific stories of when you've burned the midnight oil over an extended period in the past. Examples:
- Talk about how busy you get during tax season and how the hours and client demands spike up.
- Talk about commitments outside work and how those also take up a lot of time and effort, which requires you to juggle a lot all at once.
- Talk about any projects / commitments from university (it's better to go more recent if you can).
For the "Why now?" question you should pretend that you weren't fully aware of all the options early on, and only became truly interested in the past year (see the story outline above).
Much of your effectiveness is determined by your body language and expressions in the interview – if you don't seem enthusiastic and energetic, they'll assume that you're not.
Technical Questions
Everything's fair game here – since you have an accounting background, they'll assume that you know more than an engineer or lawyer trying to move into the field.
So learn financial modeling, review all your technical interview questions, and make sure you can walk through the basics in your sleep.
You may also get more advanced questions on accounting and tax-related questions.
I would be shocked if they asked a student something like, "What's the flaw with using book values of assets when determining the goodwill allocation in an asset purchase vs. a stock purchase?" or "Here are values for the 20 different items in this purchase price allocation – walk me through the resulting Book vs. Cash Tax Schedule and how the corresponding Balance Sheet items change in future years."
Most full-time bankers don't even have the technical knowledge to answer those questions, but you could easily run into these topics if you have a more technically-adept interviewer.
Plan B Options
If you don't get great responses when networking, you don't get interviews, or you don't get any offers, what do you do next?
1. Move to the Transaction Advisory Services Group
It's still easier than getting into a top business school. If you're in a situation where it will take a year or more to transfer, still consider doing it if all your other efforts have failed.
Also think about moving to another firm if it's too difficult to move internally – some large companies are resistant to change.
2. Business School
No, business school is still not a magic bullet – but it will give you a big boost in terms of networking and access to recruiters.
If you go this route, I strongly recommend doing some kind of pre-MBA opportunity, or even taking time off before and doing an informal internship.
While they're normally reluctant to let you do this if you have full-time work experience, they'll be more open to it if you explain that you're going back to business school and want to do something in the interim.
3. Keep At It
One common networking question is "When do I give up?"
I would give it at least 6-9 months before you throw in the towel.
In a down economy it will often take a year or more to find anything – so you can't get discouraged by rejections. Networking is a numbers game past a certain point.
Just look at Rocky: he got rejected 1,500 times before claiming victory.
So unless you've gotten at least 150 rejections, don't even think about quitting.

ARA Libertad: Timerman at UN for round of contacts beginning with Ban Ki-moon
Argentine Foreign minister Hector Timerman is scheduled to begin on Monday a round of contacts with top United Nations officials to address the issue of the training frigate ARA Libertad, impounded in Ghana.
"The only issue is the illegal detention of the frigate in Ghana because it is a highly worrying concern for world shipping since a magistrate from Ghana has decided not to respect the immunity of a war vessel as it is recognized by international public law, and of which the African nation is a signatory state", said the office of Timerman in a communiqué.
Timerman in his round of contacts will be accompanied by Deputy Minister Eduardo Zuain, who has been to Ghana, ambassador designate to UN Maria Cristina Perceval and the ambassador in Washington, Jorge Argüello.
The Argentine minister has a meeting scheduled with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon where he plans to address the issue which refers directly to the immunities system for States.
Another meeting scheduled for Monday is with the president of the UN Security Council Gert Rosenthal and finally with the president of the UN General Assembly Minister Vuk Jeremic.
On the sidelines the legal aspects of the controversy with Ghana will be discussed by the Argentine Assistant General for Legal issues Patricia O'Biren, with the UN Legal Counsellor's office.
Meanwhile from Accra representative of the Ghanaian government said on Sunday that the crew of the Argentine frigate ARA Libertad, is free to leave the country.
The vessel and its crew have remained in detention since 2 October at the coastal city of Tema after a Ghanaian court ruled in favour of the NML Capital Ltd fund, which is demanding payment of Argentine sovereign bonds, principal plus interest, valued at approximately 300 million dollars.
Argentina defaulted over a decade ago and is facing several lawsuits in US courts over its unpaid debts. The decision from the Ghana magistrate confirming the impound has also caused a rift of relations between Buenos Aires and Accra.
"They are free to go and leave the country through the standard process of immigration," an unnamed Ghana high-ranking government official said.
NML, associated to the Elliott Management investment fund, said that it would only accept the release of the Argentine ship if the country pays at least 20 million dollars of the unpaid debt.
On Saturday Argentine President Cristina Fernández ordered the evacuation of the 326 crew and cadets from the vessel, leaving aboard only the captain and a small maintenance group, after accusations of human rights violations due to a judge's refusal to allow the refuelling of the frigate.

Discuss and debate new thinking with like-minded individuals in an informal and relaxed environment.
Former Boro, Saints and Darlington star Neil Maddison has a new role after signing on as a coach at Middlesbrough College.
The appointment is a major coup for the College which is in the process of developing its Sports Academies as part of the new £6.5 million Middlesbrough College Sixth Form – known as MC6.
Maddison, 42, from Darlington is a familiar face to football fans around the North East after a distinguished career which has seen him play for Southampton, Middlesbrough and Darlington before making the transition to coaching and youth team management with his home town club Darlington FC.
Neil is bringing a wealth of experience to his new role of coaching Middlesbrough College's men's football team.
Neil, said: "It's going really well so far, we're developing the team and recruiting more students.
"The standard is very good and some of the players have been with clubs already. Some haven't quite made it or have decided to get an education and there are one or two that I think could play at a higher level.
"The main difference when working with the college is that there is a bigger picture. Football is something the students do alongside their studies and we all have to remember that.
"The tutors and I work together, if a student is getting a bit behind with coursework, they won't come to training that week, their education comes first.
"I'm very competitive, I always want them to win, but I want them to win the right way. When they play they are representing the college. It's my job to make sure they conduct themselves in the right manner, and they do, we've got a great group here."
The new MC6 building will include a state-of-the-art 4G pitch, the latest in artificial or astro turf, with rubber crumb and sand filled turf to replicate natural turf.
Maddison is a full qualified UEFA A licensed coach, who achieved this highly recognised qualification at England Headquarters, Lilleshall, while the college's other coaching staff are qualified to UEFA B level.
Deputy Director of Sport at the College, Paul Watt, said: "As well as these qualifications, Neil brings invaluable experience of both playing and coaching professional football. This really gives the students who come to Middlesbrough College the best possible coaching experience alongside their academic commitments.
"We are in the process of developing our Sports Academies and this year is all about building appropriately for the future and recruiting the right staff is an integral part of that process.
"As part of the £6.5m development, the College has just updated its sports brand to MC SPORT to reflect the new build combining the Sixth Form Centre (MC6) with the state of the art sporting facilities. There are several other Sports Academies that are to be run next year, including male and female Volleyball, male and female Gymnastics and Basketball. We expect to expand our Sport Academies each year offering more variety of Sports Academies for learners to try and reach their sporting potential."
Josh Keeble, 16, who is originally from London but now lives in Guisborough and is in his first year of a BTEC in Sports coaching and fitness, said: "Neil really knows what he's doing, he's played the game, he's been a coach and he's been a manager so if he tells you to do something it's very difficult to argue with him!
"I want to be a football coach so a good team and coaching set up was the main thing I was looking for when deciding which college to go to."
Both the men's and women's teams currently train three times a week at the Eston Academy.
The women's team, coached by Dan Connelly, is currently second in the British Colleges Sports North East Women's Division 1, just five points behind established side Gateshead. With a selection of Boro ladies in the College team, along with Sunderland and England ladies star Ellie Christon, 17, from Middlesbrough, the girls are pushing for a top two finish.
Amber Johnson, 18, originally from Hertfordshire, who now lives in West Lane, Middlesbrough and is a first year student studying Public Services, said: "A lot of colleges don't have football teams, especially women's teams so it's great for me to be able to keep on playing.
"I want to join the police when I've finished college so it's a good way for me to keep my fitness up as well."

Obvious speculation about "damage control" aside, Mike Barwis isn't the Red Wings trainer. He's an outside specialist and (based on my very brief internet search) seems to be pretty well respected and established.
Mike Barwis is one of the best athletic trainers in the world, if not the best. His strong suit is injury/accident recovery. Search Brock Mealer to see how his training methods, along with a motivated individual, can produce amazing results.

It was an interesting holiday weekend as New Year's Day, traditionally a celebration of college football bowl games, was instead dominated by the NFL's regular season finale.
As we get ready to watch what promises to be an exciting countdown to the Super Bowl, some key performances from 2011 stand out for me:
Drew Brees: It is remarkable that Brees broke the single-season passing record held by Dan Marino for 27 years. But beyond the accomplishment itself, is the Brees back story. In spite of his record-setting career at Purdue, some thought he was too short (at 6 feet) to make it as an NFL quarterback. Ironically, the second-round draft pick was once replaced by 5-foot-9 Doug Flutie as the starter at San Diego. But Brees battled back, earning the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2004 after leading the Chargers to the playoffs, and earning the first of six Pro Bowl honors. He never looked back. His accomplishments include a Super Bowl Championship, and more than 20 NFL records, yet you almost never hear him talk of his achievements without mentioning the offensive line, receivers, running back and even the defense. He is a consummate team player.
Tim Tebow: Another guy that many said would never make it in the NFL, and the jury is still out on his long-term future in Denver, but this ultra-positive Bronco force can be described as nothing less than a winner. His last minute heroics are notable, as is his work to win over his teammates and assume a leadership role on the field and in the locker room at his young age. Tebow has become more than a player, he's a phenomenon, and a role model, not because he is unabashedly Christian, but because he is principled, and not afraid to say so. Whether you agree with his beliefs or not, it's hard not to appreciate and admire his conviction and his character.
Ben Roethlisberger: Big Ben has deservedly been questioned on the character front over the years after a seemingly-never-ending string of bad decisions. But perhaps this is the year that he's turned his life around. Whatever issues he's had in the past cannot take away from the toughness and courage he's shown in the last few weeks. Leading his team to victory in spite of a painful injury proves his value to his team and his commitment to his teammates. Hopefully 2012 will prove him to be as admirable off the field.
Hines Ward: One thousand career catches, all with a smile enough said.
Sean Lee: Another great comeback story, the former Penn State captain who battled back from a serious knee injury led NFL linebackers with four interceptions this season, and gave us a good reason to watch the Dallas Cowboys.
Wishing everyone more wins than losses in 2012 - Happy New Year!

Dodgers ace has inflamed him joint
Associated Press | Last updated September 09, 2012
Clayton Kershaw has an inflamed right hip joint and was scratched from his Sunday night start for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants. He wasn't thrilled about it, because he said he thought he could still go. Manager Don Mattingly made the call with help from the trainers. ''I felt good enough to pitch,'' Kershaw said before the Dodgers were shut out by the first-place San Franciso Giants to fall 5½ games back in the NL West. ''It wasn't my decision.'' Kershaw began feeling some discomfort a few days earlier and went for a contrast MRI exam Saturday -- at the same time as center fielder Matt Kemp -- and received a cortisone injection. Doctors ruled out a hernia and other issues. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner said he threw five pitches off the mound at AT&T Park earlier Sunday in front of the medical staff and believed he could pitch. ''It was kind of all I needed to give me that peace of mind that I could do it,'' Kershaw said. ''I thought I was going to get the chance. It puts Donnie in a tough spot, I understand that. He had to do what he thought was best.'' Mattingly said the decision was made to give Kershaw a couple of extra days to make sure he is healthy for the rest of the season, and the lefty is now scheduled to start Tuesday at Arizona. The Dodgers are in the chase for the division and NL wild-card spots. ''None of it made any sense for him to pitch today. We're really trying to put him in a position to pitch the rest of the year,'' Mattingly said. ''This is all about him having the best chance of being healthy the rest of the way.'' Still, Kershaw clearly didn't like the news. ''I would have loved to pitch today. Thought I could have done it,'' Kershaw said. ''You can't make all of your decisions, I guess. But I'm going to get five more starts, regardless, for the rest of the season. You can hype this game as much as you want but I've got to win the starts they give me, so that's what I'm going to try to do.'' Right-hander Joe Blanton started in Kershaw's place, yielding four runs on six hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings of Sunday's 4-0 loss. He was told Saturday to be ready because it was a ''50-50'' chance he would start. Blanton allowed a two-run double to Hunter Pence in the first inning. He needed 36 pitches to get out of the first, giving up as many runs that inning as Kershaw did total in any of his four starts facing San Francisco this year. Kershaw (12-7) is 5-2 with a 0.66 ERA in seven starts and eight appearances at AT&T Park. He is 1-3 in four starts this season against the Giants, who missed facing the Dodgers ace in a series -- after 11 in a row -- for the first time since September 2010. Kershaw was 7-3 with a 1.21 ERA during those 11 meetings. He said he doesn't know how he was injured. It caused him problems when landing, and he felt it running and throwing. ''It just kind of came on,'' Kershaw said. ''Maybe just tweaked it somehow.'' Kemp also could be back in the lineup Tuesday if all goes well. He received a cortisone shot in his inflamed left shoulder Saturday and reported no problems a day later. ''It feels the same, dude. We'll see tomorrow,'' Kemp said. ''It's only one day. It's got to kick in.'' Kemp said he attended a concert Saturday night in the East Bay but wasn't at the Andre Ward-Chad Dawson fight in Oakland. ''I didn't want to go watch people getting beat up -- I've been beat up all year,'' Kemp said. ''Stop the violence.''

text: Let's talk roadside emergency bags.crowmolly2/19/14 10:42pm121EditPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaGo to permalink A lot of newer cars are stone-cold reliable and there's not much to worry about other than a flat tire or an empty fuel tank if you are inattentive. Or a fire for the Tesla, Ferarri, and 3800 V6 folk (I know, cheap shot). Alongside that, many, many other cars are older, heavily modified, or both. With age and deviation-from-stock there comes a certain degree of risk involved in driving on the road. So after a situation last week involving a pothole, a 265/30/20, and another larger pothole I figured it might be worth starting a discussion among the community about what constitutes a proper emergency bag.So I'll start with what I typically roll with in my two cars. Advertisement First, the daily driver. 1.) Can of fix-a-flat (for non UHP tires only). Kind of a funky thing to use but if you are in a real bind in somewhere dangerous, it's good to have. Better to waste a tire than get hurt on the side of an interstate in the snow. Tire guys hate it but it's a last resort. Sponsored 2.) Portable air compressor and quality tire gauge. The most important thing in the trunk. The little air compressor will also alert people to your presence on the side of the road, because it will be so unearthly loud that they can hear you for miles. Run the engine with the compressor if you can, it will fill the tires faster and run better. 3.) AAA card or equivalent. Whatever estimated arrival time they give you, double it just in case. Watch them if they work on the car like give it a jump start as sometimes they are careless or just flat morons. THIS MEANS YOU, DICKHEAD WHO FRIED MY IGNITION MODULE WITH A POOR JUMP. 4.) Emergency blanket, which might seem a bit extreme. Until you get in an accident during the winter that kills your car's engine and therefore your only source of heat. And the aforementioned AAA crew says they will be there in 2 hours. Can also be used to keep your significant other warm so they take it easy on the tongue-lashing you rightfully deserve for that pitiful impression of Parnelli Jones. 5.) First Aid kit and flashlight. A D cell maglight can be stripped down into a wrench extension for your lug wrench in a pinch. Advertisement 6.) $50 in cash in case you need fuel. Not booze. Be vigilant. 7.) Jumper cables. Red to Red, Black to unpainted ground. Know it. Live it. Be it. All pretty basic stuff. My car is pretty new and there's not much to really go wrong at this point. A working cell phone negates the need for a lot of extra stuff that would just roll around in the trunk.Second, the 60's muscle car.This is significantly different than the above DD. I've touched just about every bolt and system on this car so there's more to go wrong, and since it's much simpler technologically there's a lot more I can fix on the side of the road without burning a AAA or Hagerty emergency call. I'm not going to be doing a cam swap or install headers on the side of the road, but a leaky hose or bad electrical connection is only a few minutes of downtime. So here's what I've got: 1.) A working automotive fire extinguisher (in the cabin)- secured down. Big enough for an engine fire. Checked before each season. You can get a regular ABC but you'll make a hell of a mess. Far too many guys have lost their cars due to the lack of fire suppression or an expired sprayer. Also, in an accident it will fly around and could be a hazard, so I mounted mine with brackets.The rest of this stuff is in a small to medium sized duffel bag in the trunk. A 25 pound duffel bag, but still, it's not that big and doesn't take up much space in the least. 2.) 10 piece SAE wrench set since Metric shit is for commies. Two extra 9/16" wrenches of different sizes. 3.) Basic 21 piece 3/8 drive socket set. A spark plug socket wouldn't hurt to have, either. 4.) Electrical pliers and a plastic jar with 6' of 10 gauge, 6' of 14 gauge, electrical tape, shrink wrap and a smattering of ring and blade terminals. Electrical gremlins can be a real pain in the ass. Best to be prepared for a fried wire or to quickly modify a circuit if you are stuck. 5.) Box cutter/utility knife. For general cutting. Or field dressing that deer you hit because hey, venison is tasty and it's just going to go to waste. 6.) Channel lock slip joint and needle nose pliers. Any brand as long as they are big enough, but Channel-Lock if you love America. 7.) Adjustable wrench for the off-sized or stuck fasteners. A last resort in a lot of cases and can turn a damaged bolt head from hex to circle better and faster than a HAAS CNC machine if you are not careful. 8.) Basic Phillips and flathead screwdriver set and additional prybar. Every time you pry with a flat blade screwdriver a motorhead spins a rod bearing. Please, think of the innocent crank journals.9.) Fuse kit. Hey, you never know. Sometimes a loose wire can short and all the sudden BANG, your ass is driving home in the dark like Junior Johnson with a trunk full of 'shine. 10.) Flashlight with working batteries. 11.) Air compressor and tire gauge, serving double duty for airdowns at the race track. 12.) First aid kit and flares. Just in case. 13.) Duct tape, bailing wire, and a cigarette lighter. The basics. All purpose stuff. Lighter used for shrink wrap on wires if need be. Duct tape on the aforementioned angry passenger if required. 14.) A hammer. This hammer will "touch this", that, and anything around it when I use it in a frustrated rage. Hell, it will touch my front windshield if I feel like it. 15.) Misc spare parts, like extra 1/4 and 3/8 bolts and nuts of various sizes, hose clamps, a few feet of vacuum hose, and extra belts. You never know what will fall off the car because it vibrated itself out of position. So that's my rundown. I'm sure I'm missing some stuff. What do you guys and girls carry?

Lasagna and meatballs might not have been in his diet, but Garfield the cat has had plenty to eat.
At 39.75 lbs., Garfield's weight trumps that of 39-lb. Meow, who made headlines in April for his hefty size (and who later died from pulmonary failure).
Ten-year-old Garfield was surrendered to New York's Animal Care and Control after his owner died. He was then taken in by North Shore Animal League America last week.
"He's probably the biggest cat that we've had here," North Shore's Devera Lynn tells PEOPLE. "He is 40 lbs. of sweetness, though. He was definitely loved by his owner."
Apart from being at least 20 lbs. overweight, Garfield has no other medical issues, but his obesity is concern enough. He will be placed on a diet and exercise plan so that he can increase his mobility and eventually start to play.
"He loves his giant belly rubs," Lynn says. "There's a lot of belly to rub, too. It takes time to get around it."
If no next-of-kin reach out to take Garfield within a week, he will be made available for adoption.
"We want him to go into the best home, where the family or individual will make sure he stays on a strict diet and gets exercise," Lynn says. "He's got a lot of years left to live provided he loses some weight."

"We have no dinosaur, it says on a hand-lettered sign outside a farm that puts on rattlesnake rodeos."
--Werner Herzog
To find pleasure in Conquest of the Useless, you must have at least a passing familiarity with the filmmaker Werner Herzog. Herzog has been writing and directing films for five decades, but only a few of his movies have broken into the American mainstream. The most well known here are the documentary Grizzly Man and the Vietnam War film Rescue Dawn (starring Christian Bale).
Each of Herzog's works oozes with a mood of effortless intensity, as if he has summoned the stress and obsessions of humanity like moths to a flame. Whether it's Timothy Treadwell (Grizzly Man's protagonist, who lived with and was inevitably eaten by bears) or Nosferatu (from Herzog's 1979 remake), the director is singular in his subjects' driven focus on their goals and desire, no matter how self-destructive they may be.
The Stafford Chapter of the Friends of the Library will host a plant sale on Saturday, May 14, 9-Noon, at the England Run Branch. 10" hanging baskets of plants will be delivered direct from the grower - ferns are $14 and an assortment of annuals are $13 each. Friends will be on hand to offer assistance in choosing a plant for your deck or porch, whether it's a shade, partial shade, or sunny spot. The sale will be held rain or shine!
If there was one thing that people across the country could agree on right now, it would be the ridiculously high cost of today's college education. Most parents assume that student loans are a fact of life, and most students assume that student loan debt is a necessary and even positive thing. If you want to get a good job, it's commonly thought that going to a good college (chosen in part by U.S. News and World Report rankings) and getting a good name on your diploma simply costs money and there's nothing you can do about it.
This interview airs beginning May 11.
The England Run Branch, the eighth and newest branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library is located in Stafford County. It is a state-of-the-art facility with features that attract and encourage library use and make the library system readily available to a highly populated area. Debby Klein meets with Branch Manager Nancy Buck for a close look at the facility on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production.
Come join the Rappahannock Film Club and the Central Rappahannock Regional Library for Il Postino at the Headquarters Library on Tuesday, May 10th at 7:00pm.

Devil Bones by Kathy Reichs
In a house under renovation in Charlotte, North Carolina, a plumber discovers a forgotten cellar, and some rather grisly remains—the severed head of a teenage girl, several decapitated chickens, and a couple of cauldrons containing beads, feathers, bones, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In a river not far away, an adolescent boy's torso carved with a pentagram, is found. Are these crimes the work of Satanists and devil worshipers? (catalog summary)
In Jacqueline Davies' The Lemonade War, Jessie Treski and her brother Evan have a pretty good relationship…usually. But when Evan finds out that Jessie will be skipping third grade and will share his fourth-grade classroom, he gets pretty angry. It's bad enough that his sister gets all the good grades, but now she is going to mess up things with his friends as well. His anger grows…and grows…and then he explodes, saying awful things to her that he knows he will regret later. Jessie responds and their argument swells until they make a wager with high odds, all riding on who can sell the most lemonade in the last five days before school starts.

In Georgia Bottoms, Georgia has a lot on her plate--a mother one appetizer short of being "out to lunch," an unemployed brother more off the wagon than on, and a series of clandestine lovers scheduled six out of seven nights a week.
Although she's always been able to juggle her unusual responsibilities, Georgia's Saturday night man, Eugene Hendrix--who also happens to be the town's (married) preacher--finds himself riddled with guilt. That guilt, in turn, results in a confession to his wife, Brenda. Eager for retaliation, Brenda demands that Georgia's secrets be revealed to the entire town…via the church pulpit. Georgia employs her vast feminine wiles to avert a last minute disaster. Her next step is to arrange surreptitious relocation for Eugene (and his family) to another congregation…far, far away.

It is so confusing with books on anything and absolutely everything when it comes to babies, parenting, etc... so how do you know what is best? I guess I can only comment on what I think is best for my children... and I think that is the key. I have found now on my 3rd baby, that what works best for me is to just go with what seems natural, my motherly instincts. I feel breastfeeding is best not only for all the wonderful benefits you hear about from the medical community, but also as it is "natural" and designed by God to be how a mom provides for her baby. It is an emotional benefit as well as nutritional and physical, for both mom & baby.
I would never want to make any mom feel she needs to defend her parenting style. We are all so different and brought up so many different ways. We all have unique experiences in life that influence our decision making styles. Our oldest son's illness definitely impacted our decisions in parenting for our baby now. We look at everything so differently, from much clearer perspectives.
Gray had his 1st really deep belly laugh yesterday. It was the best thing ever at that moment. Here he is pictured in the pouch, so happy and asleep.
