This is another important area of consideration in writing the resume. The notion among many job applicants is that the employers are too busy to read through a resume that is more than a single page or you shouldn't feel compelled to put out your work experience in just single page itself.
To achieve the 'desired' one page resume, most employees will write lengthy resumes but make the fonts much smaller but readable and also make sentences that are too short too to completely give out the information they want to give. The length of the resume is in most cases not the most important factor in resume writing is; proper and valuable words in resume as well as concise to make it more effective is the determining factor of the quality of a resume. The effective and proper wording in the resume will sell you in out to the employer, and this information may not fit into a one page resume especially if you have very good professional experience background in your hands.
It is however a rule that is universally accepted that a resume should not more than two pages. Such information like having very high professional experience at some managerial executive level is the information that when provided will help attain the desired length of the resume.
Therefore, now how would you keep the length of your resume within the desired limit? These important points below will help you out in deciding the length of your resume.
However detailed or eventful your career has been, the necessity to make your resume short and also straight to the point as far as your career objectives are concerned cannot be more emphasized. Keeping the length of the resume in mind, use the language that will best highlight your skills in relevance to the position and also that seeks to solve the specific problem of the employer. Try to make your resume clear, in a way that does not increase the length of resume.
The second important point is that it is necessary for you to stick at required details that were asked of te applicant at the time the position was advertised. This information should be the one that directly matches your skills to the position.
The next important point to be taken care of while creating your resume is not to add unnecessary experiences in the resume copy if you have worked in various jobs with different requirements and qualifications or have trained in more than one field; it is likely that all this information will not help at all.

Fracking Causes Earthquakes in UK,… but UK Gives Go-Ahead Anyway
It was recently determined (for I think the fourth time) that activities related to hydraulic fracking for natural gas are linked to earthquakes — as in, fracking essentially causes earthquakes. Nonetheless, the UK is moving forward with fracking in an area getting such earthquakes. Here's more from the AFP (via sister site Blue Living Ideas):
Gas 'fracking' should resume in UK despite tremors (via AFP)
A government-appointed panel said Tuesday that a controversial gas extraction method known as fracking should resume in the UK under strict conditions, though it would probably trigger earthquakes. The British energy firm Cuadrilla Resources halted drilling trials on Lancashire's Fylde coast in northwest…

Russell's paradox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell's Paradox is the theory that states: If you have a list of lists that do not list themselves, then that list must list itself, because it doesn't contain itself. However, if it lists itself, it then contains itself, meaning it cannot list itself. This makes logical usages of lists of lists that don't contain themselves somewhat difficult. It was developed by Bertrand Russell.

After finishing up with Sony's excellent and finely-cut Vaio TZ Premium subnotebook, I wiped my customizations, uninstalled my productivity software, cleaned the display, polished the case, put it back in the box, and mailed it back to Sony PR. Then I went back to Fujitsu's P8010.
It's quite similar to the TZ. It's uglier, for sure. And bigger, despite like specifications. But while Fujitsu also wants it back by the end of the week, I can't quite bring myself to wrap it up yet.
Whereas the Sony is a perfect design marred by minor flaws, the P8010 is a good all-rounder. I'll never love it irrationally as I might something like a TZ or a MacBook Air, but unlike those machines, I feel enthusiastic about using it to work on for hours at a go. As an everyday laptop for work, travel and buggering around on the internet, it offers an unmatched balance between portability, power and utility. It's just a little larger than the TZ; more or less the same form factor, but a half-inch fatter in every dimension. The keyboard is compact rather than cramped, the trackpad and its buttons feel spacious rather than squished, and so on: you'll kiss typical portable-PC woes goodbye, but you'll never mistake it for an ultraportable, either.
The P8010's crowning glory is its brilliant 12.1" LED-backlit display, which almost completely fills the lid on the horizontal axis. The border is only a fraction of an inch wide — after a year of fat, ugly screen bezels, from the Asus EeePC right up to the MacBook Air, it offers a pleasing widescreen workspace.
Its specs are strong where it matters, but lacking in fine trim. Configurations start at $1,700 for a 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo SL7100 model with a gig of RAM, XP Professional, 80 GB hard drive, 802.11n Wi-FI and integrated Intel X3100 video. Maxed out, you'll get Vista Business, 4GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive, for $2,400.
All models also pack a DVD drive into the 2.9 lb chassis. A docking tray is optional for more ports.
It does lag in places. The design is boring, and that banality is compounded by odd materials. Its lid is an unpleasant shiny black and unnervingly flexible. The performance, though good enough, is a reminder that if you're happy to lose a little portability, a 13.3" model from Dell, HP or even Apple gives more power for less money. There's no options for SSD or WWAN—the latter is quite disappointing, given its presence in cheaper Fujitsu models.
If you want something smaller than a MacBook, but insist on an integrated optical drive and reasonable price, the P8010 is a safe bet.

Patriot Games
As home to Denvers oldest structure, the Four Mile House, Four Mile Historic Park knows how to kick it old-school style. Really old school. Throughout the year, the Four Mile House Museum hosts pioneer story-time sessions, living history days, Victorian tea parties and ribbon embroidery classes, among many other events. For Independence Day, then, it only makes sense that Four Mile Historic Park would throw an Old-Fashioned July 4th Celebration, with visits from Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln and Uncle Sam; a reading of the Declaration of Independence; Civil War reenactments by the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry; and age-appropriate games and crafts, as well as ice cream and horse-drawn wagon rides, that appeal to both kids and adults.
Youll know youre in the right place when you hear the sounds of the Civil War cannon and the patriotic tunes of the Denver Concert Band, says the Four Miles MacKenzie Pacifico. Remind yourself and your loved ones of the freedoms we have today, like BBQs, beer and firecrackers, because of the sacrifices that our nations patriots have made over the past 234 years.
The celebration runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; admission ranges from free (for members, military and kids under six) to $7. Four Mile Historic Park is located at 715 South Forest Street; for more information, call 720-865-0800 or go to www.fourmilehistoricpark.org.

Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Coma
(HHNC; Hyperosmolar Coma; Diabetic Nonketotic Coma; Hyperosmolar Nonketotic State)
by Krisha McCoy, MS
Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma occurs in people with diabetes. It is a life-threatening event. Seek medical attention right away if you think you have any symptoms of an impending hyperosmolar nonketotic coma.
Causes TOP
Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma is a complication of very high blood glucose levels. Blood glucose often rises to these levels because of an illness or infection.
The body will try to get rid of the extra blood glucose through the urine. The frequency and volume of urination will increase. Unfortunately, this process also washes out other substances in your blood. Some of these substances are important to your brain. Low levels of these substances can lead to seizures, coma, and eventually death.
Risk Factors TOP
The chance of hyperosmolar nonketotic coma is higher in older adults.
Other factors that may increase your chance of hyperosmolar nonketotic coma include having diabetes and:
Symptoms TOP
Symptoms that may occur before the hyperosmolar nonketotic coma may include:
Diagnosis TOP
If you arrive at the hospital in a hyperosmolar nonketotic coma, your vital signs will be monitored. The levels of glucose and other substances in your blood will be tested with:
An electrocardiogram (EKG) may also be done to check your heart's electrical activity.
Treatment TOP
You will likely need treatment in the emergency room and/or the intensive care unit at the hospital. Treatment will focus on restoring the correct balance of substances in your blood, including glucose. Treatment may include:
You may need additional treatment, such as antibiotics, if an infection led to the coma.
Prevention TOP
To help prevent hyperosmolar nonketotic coma:

"Sure, we call our clients muppets, and sure, we advise them against their own best interests to make us richer. But does that make us bad guys?" actor Kyle MacLachlan, playing a Goldman Sachs exec, asks a muppet representing the Anti-Muppet Defamation League in a new Funny or Die video. The sketch plays off former Goldman executive director Greg Smith's resignation letter, which said some Goldman investment bankers had dismissed clients as "muppets." By publication time, the video had been viewed almost 73,300 times since going live on March 26.
"Why are you so greedy?" a muppet asks. "I don't know, why are you so hairy?" MacLachlan responds. "Touché."
"What's funny about Goldman Sachs is just that arrogance is funny. People who think they're of the utmost importance are always funny to me," says Alex Fernie, the 30-year-old Funny or Die writer and director behind the video. "The Greg Smith op-ed reveals what we always expected to be behind closed doors there."
Will Ferrell's FunnyOrDie.com has become hugely successful since launching in 2007. The site, featuring comedy videos from celebrities and no-names alike, is profitable, with about $30 million in revenue in 2011, reported Bloomberg News. The company would not confirm the figure, though it says revenue was up 40 percent to 50 percent last year.
Chief Executive Officer Dick Glover explains his strategy for the humor on the site, which draws 14.8 million unique visitors per month, according to figures from the company.
What's funny about Goldman Sachs?
Dick Glover: Our creative director, Andrew Steele, said, "What's NOT funny about Goldman Sachs! Timely satire about current events is a staple of funny."
Is user-generated content less appealing now?
Advertisers are no different from consumers. What they are looking for is quality. It isn't differentiated by who produced it, if it's user-generated, if it's young and independent or an established veteran. Is it funny to them?
For us, UGC is still important. … But it's about quality, not author. It has to be good.
How does Funny or Die work?
We believe in a model of: keep the cost of content and marketing low, keep the quality high. You can be very successful. By and large, for short-form videos, the [celebrity] talent are compensated in a number of ways but not a cash remuneration: complete creative freedom, great promotional vehicle for whatever else they may be doing. There's huge value there for the talent—acting, writing, producing, directing.
By marketing on a media system that exists [online], there are ways to reach people on a daily basis that isn't like having to spend $1 million on an ad on Thursday-night TV. It's almost the antithesis of the studio model.
How much do you spend on a video?
We do 25 to 30 videos a month and we spend less than $100,000 a month on average. For the most elaborate videos, we can have them idea-to-site in 10 days. For others, we can have a video up in 24 hours.
What's your biggest challenge?
Our greatest challenge has always been, and will always continue to be, to be funny every day, everywhere, again and again. If that were easy, everyone would do it.

Famine squeezes life out of southern Somalia
By Richard Lough
DHOBLEY, Somalia (Reuters) - The semi-arid lands surrounding the frontier town of Dhobley in southern Somalia have become a dust-bowl, the thorny scrub stripped of all vegetation as famine grips the region and an exodus of the starving empties its villages.
Dhobley's buildings are riddled with bullet holes, the scars of battles earlier this year when Somali troops and fighters from the Ras Kamboni militia, allied to the embattled government, routed Islamist militants from the frontier town.
Gunmen draped in ammunition belts ride heavily armed 4x4s, maintaining a jumpy peace. The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab rebels are now hunkered down just 20 km (12 miles) to the east in the village of Dagalama and 30 km (20 miles) to the south in Hawina.
The scene is similar across many parts of southern Somalia where the United Nations declared a famine last month, putting 3.7 million Somalis, the majority of them in southern rebel-controlled regions, at risk of starvation.
Abdullahi Abdisalam can only watch as the region's worst drought in decades decimates his livestock herd and pushes food prices beyond the reach of most, slowly squeezing the life out his small grocery shack.
"I had invested everything in those cattle. Most have died, the others are so skinny they're worthless," said Abdisalam, running his hand through a large sack of beans.
He, however, is among the more fortunate, with a small, albeit ailing, business to fall back on.
Dhobley was once a buzzing trading post, the entry point into Kenya, the region's biggest economy. Now the only people passing through are exhausted families trekking to the world's biggest refugee camp on the other side of the border. Continued...

Galleon Fund's Raj Rajaratnam is sentenced to 11 years in prison, fined $10 million and ordered to forfeit almost $54 million.
Hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, accused of masterminding the biggest insider trading scam in U.S. history, was sentenced to 11 years in prison, considered the longest sentence for insider trading.
Rajaratnam, 54, founder of Galleon, which at its peak had over $7 billion in assets, who was convicted in May of nine counts of securities fraud and five counts of conspiracy, was also fined $10 million and ordered to forfeit nearly $54 million by Judge Richard Holwell, who concluded that he reaped over $50 million in profits from the illegal trades.
"His crimes and the scope of his crimes reflect a virus in our business culture that needs to be eradicated," Judge Holwell said, adding that the 11 year prison term was "highly likely to act as a strong and necessary deterrent."
Prosecutors has sought 19 to 24 years, but the judge said he considered severeal mitigating factors, including Rajaratnam's medical condition (he needs a kidney transplant and suffers from advanced diabetes) and his charitable "good works" in assisting victims of the tsunami in Sri Lanka and the earthquake in Pakistan, in reducing his sentence below the nonbinding federal sentencing guidelines.
"Defendant's responsiveness to and care for the less privileged goes considerably beyond the norm 11 and can be seen in the scores of letters I received detailing 12 his efforts to help tsunami victims in that Sri Lanka, earthquake victims in Pakistan, a homeless shelter here in New 14 York, and 9/11 victims as well," Howel said. "Some form of forbearance, however constrained by circumstance, is fundamental to our system of justice and appropriate here."
The defense had pleaded for leniency citing his failing health and ailments. His lawyers submitted nearly 200 letters on Rajaratnam's behalf. "Raj Rajaratnam has attempted to make the world a better place," his lawyer Terence Lynam told the court. "If there is a ledger in one's life, he should have some credit to draw upon in that ledger now that things have gone bad."
Rajaratnam declined an opportunity to address the court at the sentencing hearing, saying, "No, thank you, your honor."
Rajaratnam's trial singed several leading Indian American businessmen, most notably former managing director of McKinsey and Goldman Sachs board member, Rajat Gupta, as well as former executives of Intel, IBM and Morgan Stanley.
Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, who prosoecuted the case, said: "It is a sad conclusion to what once seemed to be a glittering story. We can only hope that this case will be the wake-up call we said it should be when Mr. Rajaratnam was arrested. Privileged professionals do not get a free pass to pursue profit through corrupt means."
Rajaratnam must report to prison on Nov. 28 until when he is confined to his home.
His lawyers requested that Rajaratnam be detained at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex, North Carolina, where Bernard Madoff, who admitted to masterminding the largest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history, is serving out his 150-year sentence.

Beneath the windmill that looms over the Lancashire village of Thornton late on Tuesday afternoon, tensions were as high as the batter temperature in Seniors fish and chip shop as staff waited anxiously for the news.
A single good luck card sat on the counter in the shop, wishing them well.
Ahead of the result of a fiercely fought national competition to find the best chip shop, a customer walked in and asked for a haddock "well done, please. I'd like it in a bit longer than last time. Can you cremate it?"
Then the news came through – Seniors had taken first place in the National Fish and Chip Awards, run by industry specialists Seafish. Soft drinks were opened in celebration and Alastair Horabin, who runs the shop with his brother Dominic, described winning as "an honour beyond our wildest dreams".
"We've had the same management with us since we built the shop from a car park in 2006 and our success is thanks to their hard work, passion and dedication. I'm overjoyed for them all and I'm proud to be their boss," he said.
The award was presented in London on Tuesday afternoon by chef Richard Corrigan. Seniors was also a finalist in the independent restaurant of the year and good catch categories.
Horabin said they had been delighted when they were third in the competition last year and had spent the past 12 months looking at the ways to improve the business and add further value to the experience of staff and customers.
Across the road at the Little House of Cupcakes, Rebecca Greaves said: "They definitely deserve the accolade as they use the freshest produce and the customer service is excellent. It is a real family-orientated place. You get coachloads of old people turning up just to have fish and chips there.
"On Christmas Eve, everyone in the neighbourhood seemed to go in for fish and chips then they all came over here for cupcakes. The smell was lovely."
Paul Willman, a teacher, had enjoyed a light lunch of chips and fruity curry from the shop, having decided against a piece of fish (as it didn't go with the curry.)
"It's always clean and the chips are never mangled," he said. "The place is consistently good and the fish is fresh. You'll see queues outside between 7 and 8pm."
Duncan Smith, 21, has worked at Seniors since he was 14 and now works there full-time having finished university. "All the fish is landed in Fleetwood, so its really sustainable," he said. "It comes from all over the place, Norway and the Atlantic. We get people coming here who are visiting from Canada, New Zealand and Australia, because they've heard from their relatives how good it is."
Customer Judith Thorpe asked for a haddock to be put on as she walked into the takeaway side. "Everything is cooked fresh and I've got to know one of the fryers – who's not actually here today – so he knows how I like the fish. The batter is never soggy and it is always cooked to a crisp and the fish tastes good," she said.
Pensioners Marjorie Carr and Eric Gibson, both immaculately dressed, were enjoying a meal in the restaurant. Carr had haddock and Gibson the hake square deal.
"It is spotless," Carr said of the restaurant. "And the service is very good. We were both saying it's very quiet today, it's normally a lot busier. We tend to come out here fortnightly, depending on when the mood takes us." Gibson said: "We've been to Seniors in Lytham, but this is our favourite."
In second place was Hanbury's in Babbacombe, Devon, while Quayside in Whitby was third.
Shops were judged on a range of criteria, including the quality of product, customer service, hygiene innovation and approaches to sustainable sourcing.
Nikki Hawkins, food service and events manager at Seafish, said: "This competition has undoubtedly been our fiercest yet and we congratulate Seniors for their stellar effort in achieving the No 1 spot.
"The awards have recognised the best of the UK's fish and chip shops for the past 24 years with 2012's high standard of entries testament to the industry's commitment to continued improvement and sustainability."
Each year, 250m fish and chip meals are sold at 10,500 shops across the UK and it remains the most enduringly popular takeaway product, despite competition from Indian restaurants and kebab shops.

KLST Wed. 06/11/14 Noon Weather
After the brief cool down last weekend, high pressure is building back in making for warmer afternoons. Today will be flirting with the triple digits with mostly sunny skies and strong south-southwest winds. High pressure bringing about an increase amount of gulf moisture allowing for a dryline to form off to our west in the Permian Basin. That along with a small impulse of energy may pop off a few scattered and isolated thunderstorms later this afternoon and into the evening moving east into the Concho Valley. Coverage will be limited with most of the region staying dry. Going into the overnight hours lows will drop to the low to mid 70's warming back into the upper 90's for Thursday. That is also where we expect to see a weak cold front pushing through switching our winds back towards the northwest. Conditions will stay breezy with wind speeds between 15 to 20 miles per hour, but it will be enough to kick back temps for Friday to the lower 90's. The weekend quickly rebounds back into the upper 90's flirting with the triple digits once again for Sunday. The next work week, looks to stay warm as well but temperatures do show signs of at least cooling down into the mid 90's.

CORRECTED-U.S. ambassador to Libya, three staff killed in rocket attack-official
(Corrects "Libyan" to "U.S." in quote)
BEIRUT, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on Tuesday in the Libyan city of Benghazi, a Libyan official said.
It was not clear if the ambassador was in his car or the Libyan consulate when the attack occurred.
"The U.S. ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them," the official in Benghazi told Reuters.

You can't put it off any longer. Monday is the deadline for filing your 2010 tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.
If you haven't started yet, you're far from alone. Through April 8, the IRS had received 98.6 million returns out of an expected 141 million, which means more than 30 percent of taxpayers left things to the last minute.
The biggest problem with last-minute filing is the deadline pressure. That's especially true if you're preparing your own return. With the clock ticking, many do-it-yourselfers make mistakes that can delay their refunds, or result in overpaying or underpaying.
There are two keys to last-minute filing, according to Matt Becker, a tax partner at the Grand Rapids, Mich., office of BDO, an accounting and consulting firm. First, remember that there's little you can do now to manage your 2010 tax situation — all you can do is deal with the facts as they are and perhaps learn a lesson for 2011.
Second, "documentation is the key to everything," he said. If you don't have the receipt or form you need, the safe choice is to skip claiming a deduction. Or, file an extension to give yourself more time to track down the paperwork.
At least 10 million individuals are expected to file an extension to get six more months, according to H&R Block.
Worried that you owe taxes and you can't pay? File your return anyway, then work out a payment plan with the IRS. Otherwise you'll pay even more in penalties and interest. "People get so panicked," said Kathy Pickering, executive director of the H&R Block Tax Institute. "It's just putting unnecessary stress on themselves. The IRS is not looking to put people in jail."
If you're determined to power through this weekend and get your return sent in by midnight on the 18th, there are a few items to double check that can help you avoid the most common mistakes:
Choose the right filing status.
If you're unmarried, for instance, you might automatically check off "single." But if you're a single parent, you can probably file as head of household and claim a higher standard deduction. In general, married people are better off filing a joint return, although in limited circumstances, such as if one spouse has very high medical expenses, it might make sense to file separately.
Double check Social Security numbers.
Transposing digits and listing one child's Social Security number with another's name are among the most common tax filing mistakes. Make sure you spell your kids' names as they appear on their Social Security cards, too.
If you changed your name during the year, confirm that you informed the Social Security Administration before using your new name on your tax return.
If you live in a condominium or another type of private community, make sure you deduct only your property taxes.
Items such as, maintenance payments or homeowner association dues, which are often combined with taxes for periodic payments, don't qualify as deductions and will lead to miscalculations.
If you had more than one job, confirm that you've included all of your income.
If you're missing a W-2 form, use the details on your last pay stub to complete your return, or file an extension so you have time to contact the employer.
Claim all of the credits you're entitled to.
You might be eligible for the earned income tax credit if you earned less than $49,999 at your job. The savers credit may apply if your income fell below $41,625 but you managed to stash away some retirement savings. And you might be able to claim the child tax credit if you earned less than $75,000. There are also credits for child and dependent care, buying a home, and making energy-efficient home improvements that can shave thousands from a tax bill.
Don't try to double up education credits.
For each student in a household, you can choose to claim either the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit. You can take different credits for two or more students — including adults taking classes to update job skills — but make that clear on your return.
Check your math.
If you're filing a paper statement or filling out forms without software assistance, make sure your calculations are correct.
Make sure you provide the correct account numbers.
Direct deposit can speed up delivery of your refund, but only if you provide the IRS with the correct bank account information.
Don't forget to sign and date the return.
Electronic signatures are fine but paper returns must still have a John Hancock — and both spouses must sign if you're filing a joint return.
Don't pay if you can file for free.
The IRS website, www.irs.gov , has links to software from 17 different companies available for free to taxpayers who earned $58,000 or less. H&R Block, TurboTax and other software makers also provide links to free programs for simple returns on their own websites. You can also get electronic IRS forms that can be e-filed at no cost by taxpayers at all income levels.

2-way day-trading kicks off, index surges to 6.5-yr high
By John Liu, The China Post Tuesday, July 1, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The 2-way day trading opened Monday and pushed local shares to 9,393.07 yesterday, a record for the past six years and seven months.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange's main index rose 86.24 points Monday to close at 9,393.07 on turnover of NT$101.04 billion (US$3.38 billion). The Taiwan Stock Exchange yesterday announced that investors are allowed to engage in both sell-first and buy-first day trading from 30 June 2014.
Yesterday marked the end of the first half of 2014, during which the local stock market climbed up 781 points, which was equivalent to 9.07 percent. The 9,393.07 point is also the highest point since Ma Ying-jeou's inauguration as president.
The market capitalization hit NT$26.8516 trillion yesterday. For the 9.3263 million securities account holders, the average earning is NT$250,000 per person for the first half of 2014.
The booming stock performance is the result of global economic recovery, the government's stimulus policy, good fundamentals on the corporate side, and great infusion of foreign capital, said analysts.
The Financial Supervisory Commission's (FSC) permission for day trading went into effect yesterday. The FSC predicted another 3-5 percent increase in turnover after the go ahead of day trading. The FSC currently allows day trading on 200 stocks, and plans to further relax the day trading practice on 1,200 additional stocks in the second half of the year. As a result, the market expects the stock market to further climb up in the remainder of 2014.
It appears that Taiwan has turned into a foreign capital magnet. Statistics show that foreign investors overbought NT$277.7 billion in the first half of 2014, much higher than the NT$199 billion level accumulated throughout 2013. It was also a new record for the first six months of the year.
Institutional investors are upbeat about Taiwan's stock performance down the road. With companies' higher profitability and abundant capital in the market, Daiwa Securities has raised its six-month target index from 9,200 points to 9,800 points.
On the exchange market, the U.S. dollar fell against the Taiwan dollar yesterday, shedding NT$0.047 to close at NT$29.915. The greenback opened at a high of NT$29.97 and had a low of NT$29.837 before the close. Turnover totaled US$765 million during the trading session.

Crewing Advice Wanted ?
Hello all. My wife and I are planning to crew for a few skippers in Florida, for several weeks at a time. This is our first venture into crewing for "strangers", via the PressGang site and such. We we''re wondering what the concensus is from all of you on crewing for people you don''t really know? I know, I know, it depends alot on compatibility and such that makes a good cruise. We are looking for feedback from the many of you whom crew regulary, or have in the past. It seems that there is alot of crewing that goes on with regards to finding berth on the internet, ads such. We''re not worried about "shady folks" taking advantage of us (or worse), because we believe most sailors to be freindly, and open to new friendships. I guess I''m looking for some of you to say it''s O.K. to accept an offer to crew, and that everything generally works out just fine. Thanks.

This article was originally published in Town & Style Magazine.

Heart valves are the body's unsung heroes. These four hardworking flaps of tissue open and close to push life-sustaining blood in the right direction and keep it from flowing backward. "Most of us never give it a second thought-until something goes wrong," says cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Lee of SLUCare, the physicians of Saint Louis University. And when something goes wrong, heart patients now have a new option: SLUCare's Heart Valve Clinic, the latest addition to the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care.
Heart valve disease affects approximately 5 million Americans annually. Whether it's a congenital condition or stems from infections, heart disease or age-related changes, valve disease can cause a long list of problems, some of them life-threatening. "Basically, two things can go wrong," says Lee, who co-directs the Center with interventional cardiologist Dr. Michael Lim. "Sometimes, valves are too tight and can't open all the way, so your heart and other organs don't get enough blood. But more commonly, valves fail to close completely, causing blood to leak backward into the lungs." Excessively tight valves may need to be replaced; leaky valves usually can be repaired.
Symptoms of valve disease can range from dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue to fluid retention, chest pain and cardiac arrhythmia, Lee explains. But symptoms can be hard to detect, misdiagnosed, mistakenly attributed to lung issues, or completely overlooked, he adds. "And, as medicine gets increasingly complex, knowledge is advancing more rapidly than most physicians can keep up with."
For example, Lee notes, many doctors don't know there is a strong association between valve disease and atrial fibrillation, a potentially fatal arrhythmia affecting more than 6 million people in the U.S. "Afib should be treated during surgery for valve disease," he says. "But doctors who lack experience treating afib often don't check for it before surgery, so it goes untreated, or incompletely treated-resulting in a lower chance of survival and a higher risk of stroke for the patient."
Similarly, patients with congenital irregularities in their aortic valve need to be monitored closely and screened for related issues, and they often need surgery up to 10 years earlier than individuals with acquired valve disease. "At the Heart Valve Clinic, we screen their family members as well, because this can be a hereditary issue," Lee says. "Caught in time, we can fix problems before permanent damage occurs, using the latest minimally invasive procedures, when appropriate."
That's why it's important to have a clinic devoted solely to heart valve issues. "By integrating cardiology and cardiac surgery, we break down the barriers that keep people from getting the very best diagnosis, treatment and management of their disease," Lee says. "We don't send them to three different offices to get three conflicting opinions. Our expert team sits down with each patient and explains their options. Then we collaborate with each other and with the patient, making sure they get the information they need to be an active partner in their own care."
SLUCare's new Heart Valve Clinic, part of the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care, is located at University Tower, 1034 S. Brentwood Blvd.

Hi friends!
Hope that your week is off to a nice start! Did you have Monday off of work for Presidents Day? I had off from my publicist job, and actually didn't do work for any of my jobs whatsoever. I think I only answered one email the entire day, which was nice! My long weekend was a great one, so today I'm rewinding it back a few days.
On Saturday while my hubby studied for an MBA exam all day, I took care of a lot of freelance & blogging stuff. I also ran a couple of errands, including a trip to Michaels to pick up a frame for a new addition to my travel-themed workout room.
The artist of this San Diego Modern Map Art was nice enough to send me a print, and I think it goes perfectly in my workout room. The room is full of canvas art and memorabilia of my travels, and now I have art in there of my current beloved city, San Diego!
After a laid-back, wine-filled Sunday, my Monday off went in a different direction. After taking my pup to the dog park for some playtime, Adam and I headed out to the California countryside to the town of Descansco for a hike to Three Sisters Waterfalls.
This was only my second time doing this hike. The other time I did it was almost exactly four years ago, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. The other time I visited Three Sisters, the San Diego area was in a serious drought, whereas this time, we've gotten a ton of rain lately. I had high hopes for raging waterfalls, and I was not disappointed!

Silent Barn Fans Pledge Nearly $25,000 to Rebuild Venue
Fans of the do-it-yourself performance space The Silent Barn have pledged nearly $25,000 on Kickstarter to rebuild the barn after a robbery damaged and shut down the space on Saturday.
"This is a very strange thing to say, I know, but in some ways, this robbery may be a blessing in disguise," said Nathaniel Roe, one of the operators of The Silent Barn, in an e-mail to WNYC. "It's been an explosive motivator for us to make major changes to the house — things that we'd been intending to do for years. These thieves might have given us the opportunity to bring about a permanent and safe Silent Barn that will serve the community for years."
The performance space was broken into on Saturday. Roe estimated that the damages had cost the venue $15,000. Sound systems, televisions, computers and bikes were damaged or stolen, as were the house and Babycastles' arcade savings.
"Nobody has been charged and I don't believe we'll ever find the thieves," Roe said. "They clearly spent hours not only looking through every possible hiding place to find valuables, but also wantonly destroyed our personal possessions. My stereo was blasting loud music when we walked in on the carnage. Paintings were smashed and torn off the walls. They took an entire door off the hinges."
When contacted on Thursday, the New York Police Department said it did not have an update on the case.
In the next 57 days, The Silent Barn is hoping to raise the rest of its $40,000 pledge. The funds will be used to renovate the space and rooftop deck, get a new sound system, sign a five-year lease, and build a community garden. Watch the video below to learn more.

Port Elizabeth: Henry Davids hit his second successive half-century and Aaron Phangiso took three wickets as South Africa beat New Zealand by 33 runs in the series-deciding third and final T20 international at St George's Park on Wednesday.
Davids struck 68 in a South African total of 179 for six and Phangiso dismissed New Zealand's big guns, Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum in successive overs, effectively ending the visiting team's challenge.
New Zealand finished with 146 for nine.
The slightly-built Davids, who made his debut in the first match of the series, hit seven fours and two sixes in a 51-ball innings. A third wicket stand of 89 off 61 balls with Justin Ontong (48) enabled South Africa to overcome a poor start.
Left-arm opening bowler Mitchell McClenaghan was again the pick of the New Zealand bowlers, taking two for 24 off four overs. Doug Bracewell also took two wickets, striking with the last two balls of the innings as David Miller (28) and Farhaan Behardien perished in going for big shots after a fifth wicket stand of 44 off 23 balls.
Corey Anderson held four catches, three of them in the deep.
New Zealand lost Rob Nicol in the first over but briefly entertained hopes of victory as Guptill (24) and McCullum (25), the team's leading batsmen, put on 47 off 37 balls for the second wicket.

When Majority of the Board Doesn't Mean Control
In conversation at various startup events, I hear a common but potential misconception relating to "control" and the board of directors. For example, I often overhear "it's great that the founders only had to give up 1 board seat, so they still retain control of the board/company." But board composition is not necessarily the sole … Continue reading
Avoid Offensive Liquidation Preferences

The amount of the … Continue reading
Term Sheet Purgatory
There's a lot of advice about (1) how to attract VCs, and (2) how to negotiate a venture capital term sheet.

I refer to this waiting period as "term sheet purgatory." … Continue reading

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Sophomore Rachel Palmer won two events and seven other Lumberjacks were individual event winners as Northern Arizona defeated Washington State, 161-133, on Monday afternoon in Wall Aquatic Center. Both teams broke the previous pool record in the 400 freestyle relay to end the meet, with NAU improving to 5-1 in dual meets this season and Washington State dropping to 0-5.
"It was a tough, gutsy performance for us today," said NAU head coach Andy Johns. "A lot of the girls swam faster than they ever have in here and that was a great sign. It was a back-and-forth battle and I'm really proud of the way our girls were able to overcome some adversity."
After the Cougars opened the meet with a win in the 200 medley relay, NAU senior Krista Maier, competing for the last time in her home pool, won the 800 freestyle in nine minutes, 19.08 seconds. Washington State responded with a win in the 200 free before NAU junior Fi Connell overcame a back injury to win the 100 backstroke in 1:04.14. Two more Washington State wins came sandwiched around the first win of the day from Palmer, who took first in the 200 butterfly in 2:20.80.
Two more NAU seniors, Chalene Dirks-Ryan and Kristin Jones, claimed wins in the 100 and 400 free, respectively, while sophomore Stirling Smith placed first in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:43.78. On the diving boards, freshman Katie Dallmann took the 3-meter competition with a 205.60 score while sophomore Jane Wakefield scored 179.80 to win the 1-meter competition to give NAU the lead with two events remaining.
Palmer claimed her second win in the last individual race of the day, finishing in 2:24.43 to win the 200 individual medley. Records fell to close the meet, with Washington State's "A" team winning the 400 free relay in 3:54.80 with NAU's "A" team of Maier, Dirks-Ryan, junior Kelsey Loy and sophomore Emma Lowther finishing second in 3:56.20. Both times surpassed the previous pool record of 3:56.39 set by NAU last December.
The win was just NAU's second all-time against Washington State and was just the third win in 49 all-time NAU duals against schools from the Pac-12. At 5-1, NAU is off to its best season start since the 2007-08 squad opened its season 6-1, losing its first dual to Washington State in Flagstaff.
The Lumberjacks will return to action on Saturday, Dec. 3, in a dual at New Mexico State at 11:30 a.m.

'Ring of fire' solar eclipse enthralls sky watchers on Reunion Island
Sept 1 (Reuters) - - A solar eclipse delighted astronomy fans on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Thursday, drawing sky watchers outside to watch the moon pass before the sun to make a so-called "ring of fire".
Some 3,000 people gathered on the southwestern side of the French-governed island to see the "annular solar eclipse" - the moment when the moon blots out most of the sun to create the appearance of a bright ring around its edges.
Wearing protective glasses, residents and tourists watched and took pictures of the astronomical phenomenon for several hours.
"I (once) saw a solar eclipse...but I have never seen an annular solar eclipse before," Austrian tourist Beate Sosz said. "It is great."

Re: Gross Bug in Simplify
if you slightly modify the upvalue it works:
In[1]:= f[u__]^v_ ^:= f[u] /; v > 0; $Version
Out[1]= 4.1 for Linux (November 2, 2000)
In[2]:= Simplify[{1 - f[4], 1 - 7 f[4], 1 + f[4], 1 - x f[4]}]
Out[2]= {1 - f[4], 1 - 7 f[4], 1 + f[4], 1 - x f[4]}
But yes, the bug you found is pretty bad.
Why don't you ask Wolfram Research to become a beta tester of the
next version and then you can check if things are fixed there.
They always like good bug reports and in general they fix the bugs.
Reality seems to be however that there is no bug-free software.

The Skeleton Project has been creating theatre, music and film for the past five years. We are a collaboration of artists, filmmakers and performers who tour contemporary theatre, host events, make music, films and art.
We are really interested in the local theatre scene, particularly the huge increase of contemporary theatre companies across the city over the last few years. When we first started off there weren't really any opportunities for us to get our work out and find an audience.
This is why we began running NEWK: new and unfinished work which we blogged about back in February. We want to have as many opportunities to showcase our work and we know other local companies, artists and performers need the same chances.
Monthly events
We are now working with Test Space, a new centre hub in Melbourne Street Studios in the centre of Leeds. On the last Wednesday of every month we will be holding an event throughout 2011. This is a chance for us to show our work, work with companies that we would not have before and give the space to other local companies to use for free to showcase their work to a intimate supportive audience.
This will give theatre companies or actors a chance to get their work seen by who they want to, to invite reviewers before a tour, to organise a feedback night for a new show or just to perform to a new audience.
Since Test Space opened in February the events/exhibition space for emerging creative talent in Leeds has quickly got a great reputation for facilitating new collaborations and giving artists new chances to exhibit their work. Our theatre nights will be an extension of this, bringing a new community of theatre makers into the space and hopefully provide chances for them to work with or alongside the artists and musicians also holding events at Test Space.
Opportunities for local theatre makers
We already have a programme of event lines up for the year but there will be opportunities for local theatre makers to showcase new shows.
The first three events are:
* Tomorrow: April 27 - we are launching the monthly theatre nights by performing our show TREK. The dark comedy has been created by talking six years of conversations, ideas and arguments by the two performers Matthew Allen & Anton Krasauskas. The performance is different every time is it performed. Doors open at 7pm, the show starts at 7:30 and lasts around an hour.
* May 25 – A theatre networking event run by West Yorkshire Theatre Network
* June 29 we will be hosting NEWK: a showcase of New and Unfinished performances by local companies seeking feedback on their shows.
Ticket prices for all the events this year will be kept low and some events will be free. This is because this venue is more about getting performances seen by a new audience rather than trying to make a bit of cash.
See you there?
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.

PIACT president: Surround yourself with 'good people'
MASHANTUCKET, Conn.-The Professional Insurance Agents of Connecticut Inc.s newly elected President Peter Frascarelli, CPIA, of the Peter M. Bakker Agency in Avon, announced the associations latest initiatives and urged members to take advantage of PIA benefits, during his inaugural presentation at the PIACT Annual Convention, held March 13-14, 2014, at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Conn.
Frascarelli told his audience of agents and industry professionals that one key to his successful career has been surrounding himself with good people. He identified his predecessor, immediate past President Augusto Russell, CIC, along with his incoming slate of officers as a few of those people who have been instrumental in his industry career as well as his involvement within PIACT.
"Something that I learned early in my career was to surround yourself with good people," he said. "This ultimately is a people business. Clients are people. Your staff are people." To Frascarelli, it is this recognition of the humanity of others that encourages industry growth and fosters a meaningful career.
Frascarelli congratulated Russell on a productive tenure, making it a goal to continue to set in motion some initiatives that they have both worked on closely together. He will move them forward, citing that the two of them have set in motion certain initiatives to stimulate PIACT growth and development, both in membership and in professional enrichment.
"We have initiatives to attract more new blood into the independent agency system," Frascarelli said. "We have been collaborating with a Connecticut college over the past year to develop a curriculum to help educate, license and prepare new potential employees for our PIA agencies."
He also said that, along with his officers, he would work with the staff in Glenmont to continue to develop the quality tools, training and technology that helps PIACT members stay ahead of the curve.
"These initiatives will help you to maintain and manage your relationships with people," he said.
Finally, Frascarelli urged members to stay active in the association, to be vocal about opinions, to support the local Connecticut community and to find joy in membership and involvement.
Frascarelli closed on a light note, saying that while "theres no guarantee, I feel pretty good about this upcoming year."
