Ruby Dee Passes Away at 91
Marking another loss for the entertainment realm, 91-year-old Ruby Dee died in New Rochelle, New York on Wednesday (June 11).
Over the course of her long and impressive career, the Cleveland native who grew up in New York had a prolific impact on the movie industry as well as theater and the 20th century's social justice movement.
Back in 2005, Ruby and her now-deceased husband Ossie Davis were given the National Civil Rights Museum's Lifetime Achievement Freedom award for their work with various civil rights causes that included personal friendships with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
Career-wise, Ms. Dee's Broadway credits include "Take It From The Top!" and "Two Hah Hahs and a Homeboy," and she starred in films like "American Gangster" and Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and "Jungle Fever."
Ruby also worked extensively in television on programs like "All God's Children" and "Feast of All Saints."

Youth Leadership
Leadership in Boy Scouting
Leadership is a vital part of the Scouting program. Boy Scouts in positions of leadership run the troop. They take care of the many tasks necessary for troop and patrol meetings and activities to run smoothly. By accepting the responsibilities of troop leadership, Scouts are preparing themselves to be leaders throughout their lives.
Introduction to Leadership skills for troops
This course teaches Scouts with leadership positions about their new roles and how to most effectively reach success in that role. It is intended to help Boy Scouts in leadership positions within their troop understand their responsibilities and to equip them with organizational and leadership skills to fulfill those responsibilities. The document for this course is available on the Scouting.com website and also saved here.

How to bypass the VATS (Passkey II) system for a mid 1990s Cadillac
This article was found on the web but has been customized for mid 1990s Cadillacs with the Passkey II system
1991-1996 Fleetwood
1992-1997(?) Seville SLS/STS/Deville
Before we begin, here's a question to consider:When you insert your ignition key and attempt to start the car, will the car not even attempt to crank over? Does the "Theft Deterrent message appear in the display and then a message saying wait 3 minutes? Most likely the VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) reader in the ignition is worn out. You can still review the trouble codes while the car is disabled hopefully you already know how to do that. Turn the key to on and enter the diagnostics mode. Look for codes B2710, B2711 or B2750 to be displayed which is a good indication the passkey was not properly detected.Note: there is a possibility the VATS module is at fault and this bypass procedure will not solve that problem.
There are 3 things you can try first (hopefully you are not stranded). Try starting car after each step:Clean the keys resistor pellet which is the silver line in the black insert near the end of the key with a clean pencil eraser or fine steel wool (both sides).Clean the VATS reader which is the two contacts just inside the ignition key hole. Use a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip and clean just inside key hole to remove any dirt that might be on the contact(s) preventing a connection to the resistor pellet. Inspect the Q-tip, and if dirty, repeat until clean.This is a last resort. A locksmith suggested with a small piece of spring-steel that you put a very small 90 degree bend on it near the end and try to pull backwards on each contact just inside the keyhole. Put a small bend towards the center of the keyhole on each contact which should put more pressure on the pellet. He said 9 out of 10 times this wont work and in my case it didnt work either.
At some point we all make tough economic decisions concerning our car repairs. A dealer could charge as much as $600 to replace the ignition key tumbler and VATS reader. I got a quote from a locksmith who would do it for around $400. This involves removing the steering wheel and turn signal to gain access. Another option is to bypass the VATS reader costing you about $12 for parts from Radio Shack.
**NOTE** after performing the following procedure, your Cadillacs factory starter interrupter (VATS) will be disabled. A thief will be able to steal your car much easier than if the VATS system were enabled.
How does the VATS System work?
Each VATS key has its own unique cuts on the key to operate the lock. The cuts alone will not allow the car to crank. This is called a mechanical key. Each car has a VATS module (Brain) under the dash that communicates to the starter, fuel pump, and the ignition lock. Each VATS module is randomly given a number (see VATS # below) from the manufacturer. When the proper mechanical keys, along with the proper VATS pellet (embedded resistor) turns the ignition lock, the VATS module reads the pellet on the key. If it is the correct pellet, the VATS module will tell the starter, fuel pump and injectors to operate. If the wrong pellet is read or the correct pellet cant be detected, the VATS module will tell those components to shut down and display a theft deterrent enabled message.
How to determine the Value of your key:
You might already know what VATS key belongs to your car, but most people dont. There are basically two ways to determine what VATS key you have. Remember, there are 15 different possibilities. First, your key can be "read" in a VATS tester. Most locksmiths have these testers or at least a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM), and dont charge anything to read your value. There is another way for you to read the key value yourself. If you have your own Volt Ohm Meter you can test the Ohms (resistance value) of the pellet. Just set your Volt meter to check OHMS (20k ohm setting) and take each probe and place it on each side of the pellet on your key. A number will appear. Take that number on your volt meter and apply it to the VATS # / OHMS chart below. Keep in mind that it may not be exact. Just pick the closest value to your reading.
This chart is for any GM product, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, and Pontiac that has a VATS key (single or double-sided.)
VATS # OHMS(k) (Set your meter to the 20k ohm setting)
1 0.402
2 0.523
3 0.681
Tools and supplies needed:
Soldering Iron
Wire Cutters/Strippers/Crimper
Voltmeter/Ohmmeter (VOM)
Approx. 8 inches of 16 gauge wire (speaker wire or some old wire from a lamp should also work)
"Bullet-Style" solderless connectors (optional, if you want to reverse this in the future)
Heat Shrink Tubing
Resistors of varying values (totaling the resistance measured across the key's "pellet")
1. Write the resistance value (Ohms in k value) down on some scratch paper. Leave room for calculations as the total resistance by resistor type will need to be figured out in the store.
2. Go to an electronics store and purchase a resistor or resistors that add up to the value you or a locksmith measured. Radio Shack is a great place to go for the resistors, heat shrink tubing, and the "bullet-style" solderless connectors. Be prepared to do some on the fly math though as resistors come in odd values. Also make sure all the resistors are the ½ watt rating as its easy to gather different wattages by mistake. Sometimes the wrong resistors are in the drawers so make sure to double check the package.
3. Take the 16 gauge wire and cut into 2 four-inch pieces.
4. Strip off approx 1/4" of insulation off each side of both wire pieces.
5. Put your resistors together in series starting with the highest value(s) to the left and string them so the lowest value(s) is to the right. Make several twists as you join the resistors. If you're lucky and have a pellet that has a resistance that matches a single resistor, you just attach the wires to each end of it. Now flux and solder one wire to one end of the resistor(s) and the other wire to the other side. Complete the job by fluxing and soldering each twisted joint between each resistor.
Example: You measure 11.72 on the 20k (k meaning kilo or 1,000) scale. The closest match is 11.801 which is a #15 "pellet." Always remember that resistors have a tolerance of 2%, meaning the resistance value of the "pellet" can be either 2% higher or 2% lower than 11.801 k ohms (11.72 falls in tolerance range.) You will want to aim for 11,801 ohms. So when you go to Radio Shack you want to pick up a 10,000 ohm (10k,) a 1,000 ohm (1k,) and an 800 ohm resistor to wire together in series to achieve the 11.801k ohm value. Keep in mind that the wattage rating on each resistor must be the same (1/2 watt).
Here's an example of how you'd connect the above mentioned resistors in "series". Start with the highest value on the left and work your way to the smallest value to the right:
wire------10k ohm------I------1k ohm------I------800 ohm------wire
6. Measure the resistance across the 2 wires now that the resistors are soldered to them. Be absolutely sure the value matches that of the resistor pellet in the ignition key (within 2% up or down.)
7. Cut a length of heat-shrink tubing to cover up the resistors, allowing a small bit to hang over onto each of the 2 wires. Use a lighter or heat gun to shrink the tubing.
8. On one of the wires, crimp on a male bullet connector, and on the other wire crimp on a female bullet connector. OPTIONAL: if you decide you want to solder the resistor chain directly to the VATS wires, skip this step.
9. Now what you have should look something like this:
Notice in the above "resistor pack" only one resistor was needed to match the pellet's resistance. You may not be so lucky...
10. Now move to the car. Remove the under-dash kick panel on the drivers side.
11. Look for an orange plastic straw-like conduit running down the steering column. It should be by itself and not bundled with other wires. Near the end of it where it joins a large harness, look for two grayish-white wires coming out and going into a clip on a corner of the large harness.
**WARNING** Do not tamper with any of the wires near the column wrapped in yellow harness tape or any yellow wire. These wires are for the airbag. Tampering with any of these wires could result in the airbag discharging.
12. Cut this conduit with the 2 grayish-white wires inside allowing about 3 inches, if possible from the large harness to work with. You can now pull off the orange conduit on the harness side. Strip back the insulation on the wires on the opposite side of the steering column (harness side) for about ¼ inch. Do this carefully as the wire has very fine strands. Tip: cut two 1 inch segments of the heat shrink tubing and slip one over each of the grayish-white wires. This will allow you to optionally solder the leads instead of using bullet-style connectors, and then later, slide the heat-shrink tubing over the soldered joint. NOTE: If you choose to solder, this offers the best and most permanent resistor circuit for the VATS module, but is not as easily reversed. Also, you will be soldering under the dash, so if this poses a challenge to you, then go with the bullet-style connectors and crimp them on.
13. Now twist the stripped wire from the resistor pack to the stripped wire of the grayish-white wire. Then do the same for the other set of wires to form a loop Insure the twisted connections are good. Take a key and test the starter. It should start and run. Now you know you have the correct configuration to bypass the VATS reader. If this didnt work, recheck the total resistance of the chain and be sure both the twisted leads were tight for the test.
If the test still wont start the car, you most likely have a problem with the VATS module. Remove the resistor pack. Strip the insulation off the other side of the main wire cut (running from the column) and place a male connector on one wire and a female on the other. Now place a male connector to one wire on the harness side and a female connector to the other. Plug the 2 halves back together to restore the function of the VATS reader.
Steps 14 and 15 assume your test worked:
14. If you decide to go with the connectors, install and crimp a male bullet connector to one of the 2 grayish-white wires, and a female on the other. Now do the same for the resistor pack. Plug in the "resistor pack" that you made by mating the male and female bullet connectors. See diagram.
15. If you decide to solder for the best connection, flux and solder the twisted connections you made for the test, and after cool, slide the one inch heat tube over the joints. This will prevent possible shorts heat the tubing to shrink. Now tuck the entire loop up above the other grouped wires and replace kick panel.

Re: How to bypass the VATS (Passkey II) system for a mid 1990s Cadillac
Thanks I will try this. One question I have is, can the resistors be connected together with the solderless connectors. I want to use the solderless connectors first to see if it will work, if it does I will go back and solder everything. Thanks.
Re: How to bypass the VATS (Passkey II) system for a mid 1990s Cadillac
I would suggest putting several "twists" to conjoin the resistors. You want a good connection in the string to assure the test goes right. Remember - highest values first to successively lower values from left to right. Once it tests good, solder the string.

I've been stranded and I tried this. It didn't work. :cry: I have no dtc codes nor does the security light light up. The battery is fully charged as well. I could only find 1/4 watt resistors, will this make a difference? I have also was within 1 ohm of the specified resistance. It's 1991 deville base model.
Old dead thread dredging are we....
1/4 watt more than enough.
Post your issues with exact symptoms (no crank, no start, etc) with fixes attempted.
Those resistor will need to be soldered together and to the wiring.

There may be more info in the Deville or Electrical or Security forums, too.

Alles allerbestens!
Nice apartment, very tidy and cozy, close to some mini-market and hotels (for ATM). During the nighttime is quiet enough and the bed is so comfortable.
Very good position, close to Tram Stops (Lipanska or Olsanska) and 10 min walking to "Atrium Flora" Mall and Metro Station (Flora): I suggest take tram in Lipanska, go to Flora, have a good drink or meal in Atrium Flora Mall and take Metropolitan to the centre.
A little bit far, for the check in, but it's very easy reach it, anyway owners very helpful and kind: they will give you Prague map for public transport and a map of apartment with some advice.
Prague is marvellous and i will back again and rent the same apartment.
Excellent. We were 6 people (2 daughters, my in laws, my husband and me), we fit perfectly in the 2 bedrooms.
I will let you know the important things for me:
There is an elevator, clean sheets and towels, hot water, everything in the kitchen that allows you to cook a meal, nice neiborhood, quite , close to the main street (walking distance about 4 or 5 blocks).
No problem with host, he was very nice, organized and gave us very good references about places to eat (best ribs ever).
We arrived to central station by train and picked up the keys in the corner of the station.
A tip: don´t ever hire taxis from the street, they will charge you triple, call a company. example: from the station to the apartment with a street taxi 25 dollars, from the apartment to the station with a company taxi 8 dollars.
Todo perfecto menos la limpieza del apartamento. La cocina estava sucilla.
Jättebra lägenhet, trevlig chaufför som hämta o lämnade oss. Rent och fint. Det enda jag saknade var gardiner för mörkläggning, blev ljust lite tidigt på morgonen.
Alles bestens! Sehr schönes, sauberes Appartement!
Lage war ebenfalls gut und das Personal sehr freundlich!
Gerne wieder!
Alles Super !
Sehr schönes Apartment, mit toller Ausstattung und hervorragend gelegen (5 Min vom Wenzelsplatz mit seinen U-Bahn-Stationen und 3 Min zum HBF). Das miete ich gerne wieder. Danke.
Schöne Wohnung im Prager Zentrum,alles sauber,Tram-Station schnell erreichbar,gerne wieder.
Alles sehr gut und reibungslos verlaufen. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Ansprechpartner vor Ort bei der Schlüsselübergabe. Das gebuchte Appartement war wegen Wasserschaden nicht bewohnbar, habe ohne Aufpreis eine größere Wohnung mitten in der Altstadt erhalten.

text: Detroit At Dallas - 8:30PM TV: WDIV Radio: WDFN The 6-2 Maves are on a routine and very comfortable home stand. Their last 2 games have been wins against Denver and Atlanta on the 15th and 17th. Mavs offense was down in those 2 scoring only 83 and 87 points respectivly. Injuries: Mavs: Jerry Stack House - Right Knee. Has not played yet this year. Doug Christie - Sore Left Ankle VanHorn - Sprained Middle Finger. Pistons - None Notes: Pistons will have to get out of the mini rebounding funk ( out rebounded by more than 10 in 2 of the last 3 games ) to pull this one out tonight. Dampier, Diop, Josh Howard and VanHorn ( if he plays ) will try to get the Mavs as many 2nd chance opportunities as possible. Besides that try and limit Terry and keep Dirk on the outside and I think we got this one. They will miss VanHorn if he does not play as he has been off to a great start this season with 14.1 PPG and 6.4 RPG. Sure its a back-back and a very likely ending to the winning streak but don't count out the fact that the team must be aware of Cleveland breathing down their knecks in the standings and if you look at it as just another winning streak the team record still stands at 13. Dallas Scouting Report of this game Some extra motivation: In the last pre-season game the Mavs pretty much used their standard rotation against Flips 13-guy pre-season choice for a cheap pre-season victory against the Pistons 103-97.

This bestselling quick reference contains an accelerated introduction to the Java language and its key APIs, so seasoned programmers can start writing Java code right away. The third edition of Java in a Nutshell covers Java 1.2 and Java 1.3 beta and includes:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of Java in a Nutshell, Third Edition, is a Javan tiger. It is the smallest of the eight subspecies of tiger, and has the longest cheek whiskers, forming a short mane across the neck. The encroachment of the growing human population, along with increases in poaching, led to the near-extinction of the Javan tiger. The Indonesian government has become involved in trying to preserve the tiger. It is to be hoped that the remaining subspecies of tiger will be helped by increasing awareness and stricter protections.Tigers are the largest of all cats, weighing up to 660 pounds and with a body length of up to 9 feet. They are solitary animals, and, unlike lions, hunt alone. Tigers prefer large prey, such as wild pigs, cattle, or deer. Tigers rarely attack humans, although attacks on humans have increased as the increasing human population more frequently comes into contact with tigers. Tiger attacks usually occur when the tiger feels that it or its young are being threatened. In such cases, the tiger almost never eats its human victim. There are some tigers, however, who have developed a taste for human flesh. This is a particularly bad problem in an area of India and Bangladesh called the Sunderbans. Mary Anne Weeks Mayo was the production editor and copyeditor for Java in a Nutshell, Third Edition; Ellie Cutler, Maureen Dempsey, and Jane Ellin provided quality control, and Ellie Fountain Maden proofread the book. Anna Kim Snow provided production assistance. Lenny Muellner and Chris Maden provided SGML support. Ellen Troutman Zaig and Brenda Miller wrote the index.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Whenever possible, our books use RepKover™, a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds RepKover's limit, perfect binding is used.Kathleen Wilson produced the cover layout with Quark XPress 3.3 using Adobe¹s ITC Garamond font. The interior layouts were designed by Edie Freedman and Nancy Priest, with modifications by Alicia Cech, and Lenny Muellner implemented the layout in gtroff. Interior fonts are Adobe ITC Garamond and Adobe ITC Franklin Gothic. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Rhon Porter using Macromedia FreeHand 8 and Adobe Photoshop 5. This colophon was written by Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary.

Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition Review
By jim
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition:
I learned to program with C/C++ and taught myself Java from the 2nd edition of this book. Perhaps it's due to over familiarity with the 2nd ed, but i feel this book compromises too much in order to save space.The overly brief description leaving me wanting more.

Te book is absolutely unmatched!! It has all experienced programmers need.Too sad there is no JAVA IN A NUTSHELL-- J2SE/J2EE; It would be nice to have a book like this with all JSP/Servlets/JDBC/Swing info in the same format. This book should set a standard for Java reference guides.
By licky
i had just finished to read the BOOK!i think it is the greatest book of java tutorial and reference.Thank you Flanagan!Keep up Good work!:)
By Patrick Schoonveld
As a Java developer for nearly 5 years, I have seen dozens of Java books come and go. My favorite has always been Java in a Nutshell. The definitive guide/reference everything.So, as my newest employer asked what books we developers needed, I insisted they buy a copy of the new 3rd edition for each developer. As I gave my battered and coffee-stained 2nd edition to a co-worker who didn't get the third, I thought that this was all I needed.But, sadly, I realized today that the 3rd edition lacks ALL the AWT reference. What the heck were you thinking, O'Reilly?!?!?!?? This is not cool in the least. It is annoying at best!I realize the book is getting huge, but NO AWT???I feel cheated. I used to use my 2nd ed for EVERYTHING. Now I need to buy another book. Probably good for O'Reilly's bottom line, but I think this is a bit of a rip-off.

A GREAT Java book for experienced programmers. This book has made obtaining certification a breeze. I aske for a steak and David gave me the cow... GREAT WORK! The only thing that I disliked about the book was in the last section of "Object Oriented". David could have used more consise examples of inner classes. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS! I would on the other hand suggest a ess intensive book for beginners.
By Mike
Another Oreilly nugget. This book is analogous to theOreilly VB/VBA book in its scope and depth of coverageas it applies to Java. Too bad that a single book on Javacan no longer contain enough material to base real-lifeapplications on, but this book does introduce the languagewell. java.sun.com takes over then.Keep up the good work.
By dpw
i love this book... but... i miss the deluxe version of the book. searching for things was so much easier with the cd version.
By John van Rij
I experienced this book at two different levels. As a beginner this guide took me through the syntax and concepts while I was studying the language. At a later stage this book was used as my reference material. Without any hesitation I have to say that this book is my Java Bible! Like most reference guides, the beginning of this book will give you an introduction to the language. However it is definitely not a tutorial for those who are unfamiliar to the Java language, but rather a quick reference to remind programmers why certain concepts are in place within the Java language. If you forgot how or why to cast data, you can find it right here. This part of the book can also be used by C++ programmers to understand the differences between the two languages. This book is loaded with information regarding the language. APIs, methods, tools and mechanisms are all covered with numerous short examples that demonstrate how to perform common tasks with the classes and interfaces that comprise the Java Platform. Throughout my studies I had many questions regarding Java, but "Java in a Nutshell" never left me in the dark. I didn't need any other books, and I am sure I never will. Thank you Tim O'Reilly for giving us David Flanagan, and thank you David Flanagan for giving us, Java geeks, our own Bible.

Imagine going to the awesome javasoft website and compressing it into 500-odd pages. This is Java in a Nutshell.As a programmer who needs classes and methods at my fingertips, I don't want to be forever logged into the Sun site to get hold of code. For me using VJava, DB2, Lotus Notes etc, to keep Netscapeopen permanently slows me down. I want to see code in concise paper form for perusing and foradding post-it notes to useful pages. This book is a good physical size, about the size of a good novel, and thus is refreshingly concise.You genuinely can put it on your desk without it becoming a 'conversation piece'. It doesn't comewith code cheats. For that I use and recommend 'The Complete Reference' which is the size of a squashed brick.Four stars because IMHO, this reference could do without a 'What is Java' introduction (eventhough it's a small part of the book) - it's better done in any textbook.
By Michael Watts
I am a recent Computer Science graduate and used Java in several classes. I really like the reference section of the book on all the core packages. I found the lists of the methonds to be a quick reference to what was needed. I feel that this is a great reference book for any Java programmer. I always recommend it when someone wants to learn the language.

text: Jul 07, 2010 - I bought this at Sally's (4.99) because the reviews were great and I decided to try it because the price is right. By the time my hair dried, it was big fuzzy poof ball. My hair does not like hydrolyzed wheat protein! I'm glad that some have had great success, but it just didn't work for my 3B hair.

Over thanksgiving, I visited my grandmother who lives in a cabin with my 87 year old grandfather. After dinner, I asked her if she would consider taking one of my pistols or rifles to keep for protection. She told me to wait a minute while she went to her office. About 2 minutes later, grandma came out with a copy of her concealed weapons permit that she had over 25 years ago. With a little pleading, she dug out an old .32 s&w lemon squeezer. After a quick cleaning, and some fresh ammo, I convinced grandma to keep it in the night stand by her bed. We agreed that next time I come to visit, we'd go out and shoot it to brush up on her skills.
I forwarded my mom a few of the 911 calls, and videos posted on this website. She lives alone, and doesn't own a gun, and I worry about her safety. I sent her a few links with different guns that I thought would suit her needs for protection. She emailed me yesterday with pictures of her new S&W 642 with CT grips. My mother has promised to apply for her concealed weapon permit after some range time with the gun.
Hopefully my mother and grandmother will never need to use their weapons. However, I feel pretty good knowing that with the help and motivation this site has given me, two more women now have the means to protect themselves.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

being armed alone may not be enough. Without practice it really comes down to chance.
I had some ladies taking CCW class with me and I really did not want them to carry as they were handling the firearm poorly but managed to pass the tests. It was obvious that they were being pushed by others to take the class, but had no will to be ready.
It is not "might OF", it is "might HAVE". It is not "could OF", it is "could HAVE". Go spread the word.
Shucks, your mom and your grandma? Not that IS very cool!
Congrats to both ladies.
Now you have to get them both out so they have an understand of how their weapons work.
Stay armed...sounds like a safer family reunion coming up...stay safe!

My mom lives 1200 miles from me, but has a good LEO friend that will be taking her to the range.
As for grandma, a quick review and she was ready to go. She had lots of training when she used to carry 25 years ago, It came right back to her when she held that gun again.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
Glad to hear about the ladies. It wasn't until I was in my thirties that I found out that my Grandma's purse was so heavy because of the ..45 PeaceMaker she toted around!

So I've been increasingly using google reader for enterprise purposes outside it's standard consumer subscribe to and read updates from a feed. Given it's quickly with no resources from google become I assume #1 consumer feedreader, and will ultimately harness power of blogger, feedburner, google search, android and adsense - it's not a bad platform to commit to, if it was a platform that is. Anyway lets start with the current use case I'm having repeat on me (repeated data equals pattern which over time becomes a trend but can it be turned into a platform and then products which make money) :
Current Google Reader Enterprise Crossover Use Case
1. Potential client wants to identify/monitor/conversate a geo or niche_segment_vertical part of the blogosocialmedia_twittersphere. Toe in Water.
2. Start running persistent search queries across the 50m-150m feed indexes for specific keywords, phrases, boolean NOT logic. Trial and error, optimise as best as possible : First Cut.
3. Any proprietary sources of content can be delivered into google reader as just another feed source even if lifting/filtering algorithm work is done elsewhere.
4. Setup new gmail and google reader account so as to not corrupt personal 4k google reader feeds. Dont add any other feeds to mix.Aggregate set of feeds can then have OPML exported into other systems : Client intranet, Google Custom Search Engine, Yahoo Boss, other feed readers (Newsgator, Feeddemon, do people still use Bloglines + MyYahoo ?) and Microsoft Outlook RSS features.
5. Start sharing items of relevance in google reader to area being investigated. Aggregate set of entries are in effect moderated/manicured content. This creates public web page / atom feed. While not perfect by any means the feed can be fed into CMS and published on website, circulated to management if intelligence, shared with employees, developers needing sample code etc.
6. Add blogosphere popularity tools/plugins such as PostRank.com (formerly Aiderss) This provides post popularity, most linked to/dugg etc items. Combined witgh Google Reader Trends which provides #of items coming into tags/folders - Some basic analytics/metrics can be provided to clients, and "hot" areas of influence which need to be acted upon.
7. Extra presentation tools such as Feedly can be used to provide magazine reading type format for clients. I prefer to export the opml from google reader account and create another google reader/gmail account, import the opml into that and run the feedly firefox plugin on that account as it formats the feed so substantially it's better 2 maintain 2 instances that only have the original formatting not available if using feedly. Then u have a good looking presentation of data.
Making Google Reader an Enterprise UGC Platform
It's making me think, with a bit of browser_plugin/greasemonkey extensions, it could be used for more than simple feed reading. The hard heavy lifting of feed authentication, indexing, search is done by google. But it's not the total solution.
8. Google Reader rather than having only one feed output (your shared items) and one opml output (the aggregation of your feeds) : Needs to be at other end of spectrum; There needs to be :
- Feeds for shared items for every feed, tag, folder : So I can share items from a specific feed and have those output as a feed which I can then point to a location, remix, play with etc without having to computer program.
- Feeds for any search queries : I can run a search on my google reader items : However the search result doesnt allow me to filter the result by recency (its done by relevance) and the search result can't be turned into a folder within google reader nor can it become a feed. You would think google would be the king of this. But then again I cant create a feed from a google.com search result which I still have no idea why that is other than some piracy they are scared of. The ex-googly Friendfeed addressed this issue once Scoble bashed em enough.
9. Some more trends/analytics would be really good. Postrank.com did seem to really slow down my google reader 4k feeds account so i had to uninstall it. But even adding a feed in my google reader personal account can take over a minute if it works at all.. Feedly have also done some nice analytics, friendfeed and twitter integration.
10. There always needs to be a #10 in blog post lists. So I'm gonna simply say Themes + Widgets. Even tho it's non core even within a blog monitoring/syndicating extension/plugin world. The Google Reader public output page is pathetically weak. One page with 4 awful headers incl ninja, icecream and standard. Why can't I have multiple pages. A page for each feeds/folders shared items. Why cant I have templates for each of these public pages - For me I'd have a sneaker page which aggregated all my sneaker shares, using a magazine layout 3 column piece with a sneaker image uploaded header with funky fluoro colour layouts. Pity google doesnt open up a whole new android like world in google reader. Oh and widgets so instead of webpages, I'd take this content in a Google Connectish Widget which i could widgetbox.com ' y design. I mean google do own feedburner yeh ?

Facebook is so much more fond and familiar. It is full of people I know, sharing thoughts I recognise - like a home into which I can invite those I like and trust. It's friendly.

What are some majors for people who love to travel?
I'm currently a Finance major with a foreign language minor.. and I love to travel..
There is another school with an International Trade & Finance major here in Louisiana, but I don't know what to do.. Help?
You don't necessarily have to major in anything "international" to obtain a job that requires travelling. There are many international companies that hire people with all different majors. My husband works for a logistics company and they are always looking for people to work overseas.

About to Be 45 and Done with Years of Possible Implant Associated Illness and Pain - Denver, CO
I had my first implants in 1990. They were small and looked fine but somehow in 1996 I decided I wanted to go bigger. I know that the implants are saline and under the muscle but I am not sure of the actual cc amount. I have had lots of back and neck pain along with odd ailments, feeling icky for no reason.

Kim Clijsters's shock departure from the second round of Roland
Garros on Thursday was followed by the exit of world number one Caroline
Wozniacki and last year's beaten finalist Sam Stosur on Friday.
That makes it the first time since 1971 when both of the top two
seeds have been knocked out of the French Open before the fourth round.
World number three Vera Zvonareva had a scare in the second round
as well, although she battled through and eased through her third round clash,
and seventh seed Maria Sharapova had to recover from a set and 4-1 down before
winning 11 straight games to reach the third round
All this got Tramlines thinking: is women's tennis weak or is it
simply a much more even playing field these days than it has been in the past?
One French Open pundit has already described Wozniacki as playing
"moonballing nonsense" and the world number one, who everyone knows
has never won a Grand Slam, was simply outplayed by Daniela Hantuchova in Paris today.
Clijsters refused to blame a lingering ankle injury for her loss
and simply put it down to a "wrong attitude" against Aranxta Rus
while Stosur often struggles with her confidence on court.
"Not much, no," was Svetlana Kuznetsova's response when asked
what the new generation of tennis players had brought to the game.
"Clijsters and the Williams sisters are much better," she
So all this begs the question, has women's tennis simply become
more evenly weighted or has it deteriorated since the days of Chris Evert,
Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles.
Clearly the overall quality of women's tennis is not as high as in
previous generations, especially with the absence of the Williams sisters,
Serena in particular, but one thing you can't argue with is the lack of
Even last year, it was fairly easy to predict the winner of a
tournament before it even started but this year, and in particular this month, the
French Open and Wimbledon are wide open.
And Mats Wilander believes that the top women do not seem to be
learning from their defeats and are carrying on as normal rather than
seeking to improve their game. Watch the video below for his full opinion.
What do you think? Is women's tennis just a filler for the time in
between men's matches or is it worth watching for its own sake, an exciting
sport that could throw up any result at any time?
Leave your comments below.
DAY: Nearly everyone was tweeting about the Djokovic-Del Potro clash
(and fair enough) but Tweet of the Day goes to Laura Robson for this beauty,
almost exclusively for the use of the word homeboy! "Kanye West watching
Del Potro vs Djokovic. Homeboy has good taste in tennis matches."
DAY: Today's highlight comes from Stanislas Wawrinka's clash against
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The Swiss player is trailing by two sets to love and a
break but shows a highly impressive fighting spirit to break back with this
Check out the video below.
DAY SEVEN: Yesterday, Tramlines urged you to watch Novak Djokovic's clash
with Juan Martin Del Potro, which we saw as easily the highlight of day six.
Unfortunately, with matches on Philippe Chatrier running very long,
the two did not get on until 7:30pm French time, and even then they were on
Suzanne Lenglen. So we were deprived of the full match. But nothing has
changed. In fact, the two sets that Djokovic and Del Potro did manage to play
has only whetted our appetites for more, the two men splitting sets between
them and playing some scintillating tennis in the process.
With Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both back in action on day seven,
it promises to be a cracking day, but if you can only watch one match, make it
the remainder of the Djokovic-Del Potro clash.

Anthony Edwards makes his return to series television with ABC's "Zero Hour" and on Thursday, the "ER" veteran explained what drew him back to primetime.
"When 'ER' was done, I felt like I'd really accomplished something. It was an amazing eight years and I was ready for a new adventure, which included my family and taking time and moving... and it really, it took a while to recover from that," the actor, who played Dr. Mark Greene on the long-running NBC primetime drama, said as he promoted his new show at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour 2013 in Pasadena, Calif.
PLAY IT NOW: Anthony Edwards: 'I Can Relate To ('Motherhood') In More Ways Than I Can Imagine'
"I also know that if I was going to come back to television, having done that, it would have to be something that was as exciting to me as [what] was going in there," he continued. "And like all things in life, it was the surprise - [the executive producer] sent me the script and I could not put it down."
The drama follows Hank Galliston (Anthony), a man who is quickly prompted to act after his wife is abducted not long after she buys a mysterious clock at a flea market. The show also has a backstory that involves, priests, Nazis, world-saving secrets and a baby - with white eyes.

"This is gonna really challenge and excite people, because they're not laying it out simply," Anthony continued of the show, which also stars Carmen Ejogo, as an FBI agent attempting to help him on his quest to find his wife, Laila Galliston (Jacinda Barrett). "It's a complicated story."
Anthony hopes viewers will be able to enjoy the show - and get into it - because his character comes in with no expert knowledge.
"Hank Galliston, what's great about him is that he gets to be you, he gets to be the audience in a lot of ways. He gets to go on this journey, without knowing at all what's going on," the actor said. "He's as bewildered at the beginning as I think the audience is.

"Every script has been a surprise and the journey that Hank's going on is - he has no preconception of where he's going to go," Anthony added. "So where he ends up, hopefully, will be as fun for you as [it is for me] playing it."
"Zero Hour" premieres on February 14 at 8 ET/PT on ABC.

Nice try but totally wrong. When someone takes parts and pieces from many manufacturers and assembles a car he EXPECTS a lot of mods and custom fitting will be required. When someone buys a Streetbeast (according to all the slick advertising) he should be able to assemble the car with no problems. That's IF you believe the advertising which we all know is a joke.

Actually the term isn't "its too hard". More accurately one should say "its not worth the extra effort". Kits shouldn't need to be garage engineered. They should go together smoothly because the engineering has been done for you. That's what you're paying for when you buy a "kit". Unless its a Streetbeast where the engineering is so poor that you DO have to re-engineer most of it just to get the thing on the road.

What a bunch of bull. Most other manufacturers provide a higher quality more accurate product and give the buyer the option of having the doors etc. pre-hung.

The Assembly has approved Governor Cuomo's Women's Equality Act including an abortion rights provision that split Albany down party lines.
Senate Republicans refused to allow the abortion measure to the floor in that chamber. The Senate plans to adopt the nine other women's rights initiatives in the 10-point package pushed by Governor Cuomo.
The items combat discrimination against women in the workplace and strengthen human trafficking laws. Those could be sent back to the Assembly today after Senate passage and voted into law.
The full package was approved by the Assembly in a 97-to-47 vote.
Local Republican Assemblymen Brian Kolb, Gary Finch, Bob Oaks, Bill Nojay, and Phil Palmesano all voted against the Women's Equality Act.
Governor Cuomo unveiled the 10-point bill earlier this month in Seneca Falls at the Women's Rights National Historical Park.

Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb released the following statement following Thursday vote on the Women's Equailty Act.
The Fight for Women's Equality Started in Seneca Falls, But Today it Stalled in Albany.
"Today, the Assembly Chamber voted on a 10-point bill that included a wide variety of measures important to women in New York State. The 10 items included in the bill attempted to:
By choosing to vote on a single bill, rather than 10 individual pieces of legislation, the Assembly Majority ended any chance of this bill becoming law this session. The Senate introduced the individual points of the 'Women's Equality Act' as separate pieces of legislation.
Without passing identical bills in each house of the Legislature, these measures cannot take effect and become law today.
The unfortunate reality is that at the end of this legislative session, women in New York will not have new legislation that addresses any of the 10 important issues that were voted on today.
I am proud that the members of the Assembly Minority Conference debated these items intelligently and passionately, and we remain committed to advancing many of the measures that have been proposed. The decision by the Majority to play political games with these critical measures is disappointing because we lost the opportunity to implement important public policy for women.
The Assembly Majority will do a victory lap on a bill that will not become law today. New York's women didn't get historic legislation today – they got a sideshow. The fight for women's equality started in Seneca Falls, but today it stalled in Albany."

The Ron Meyer, Brad Grey, And Jerry Bruckheimer Quotes Of The Day
"Tom Cruise is one of the most important stars ever in the motion picture business," Ron Meyer, a close friend and former agent, told Reuters. "I don't know anybody who has had the consistent success rate that Tom has. And nobody should be counting him out."
Added Grey: "He is clearly, on a profit basis as well as a creative basis, one of the biggest stars in the world."
"Tom's really a good guy … and the press and public can turn on people for God knows what reason. But I know what he really is — a warm-hearted, terrific individual," Bruckheimer said. "And he's a wonderful actor.

I would say call Gerry. He'll spend the time with you on the phone to talk to you about what he does. It's not a hard sell.

How many calls do you get from people who have legal problems who are searching for an attorney outside the state where you practice law?
How many times do you get a case inquiry from a person who lives across the country saying they found you because of your videos on YouTube?
How often do you remind viewers that you only practice law in your particular state, but for some reason out-of-state viewers keep calling you to ask for your legal help?
This is a fascinating concept that I only began to understand what I created video to market my practice. Interestingly, every one of my videos tells the viewer that I am a "New York medical malpractice and personal injury trial lawyer, practicing law in the state of New York."
If a viewer sees me say it, hears me say it and the title of my video says 'New York medical malpractice lawyer', why would someone from California with a possible case happening in California pick up the phone to call me, a NY attorney, for legal help? Why do I receive calls and e-mails from people in every state in the United States asking for my legal assistance? It took me a while to finally figure it out.
I began asking these callers why they would call me, knowing full well I only practice law in the state of New York. I would ask them what prompted them to pick up the phone and call me instead of all the lawyers who practice in their state.
The responses were universally similar. Want to know what they said?
They said they liked the no-nonsense, straight forward approach to teaching and educating them. I didn't talk down to anyone and I didn't talk about myself.
When I reminded these callers that I could not give them any legal advice since I only practice in New York, they were very disappointed. Yet every single one of these callers thanked me for providing useful information.
How many of your viewers thank you for the content you put online? If they have not, you need to ask yourself "why not?"
What content and information can you provide to your ideal viewer who needs this information, without ever giving any legal advice?
The remarkable thing about getting calls and e-mails from people across the country who have legal problems in search of an attorney to help solve their problems is that I now have an entire referral network throughout the country. Before I created videos to market my law firm, I never had this type of referral network. Now when somebody calls asking for legal help outside the state of New York, I have the opportunity to refer them to excellent attorneys throughout the country.

To the Editor:
This letter is also for any Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation people who have the nerve to read this:
Bob Chaffin's Feb. 4 letter in The Wilson Post makes sense but no likely will be disregarded by anyone who has the ability to do anything about it.
"Sticker shock"? Yes, a woman in Nashville claimed to be stunned by her $195 bill.
I was gone a weekend in January, thus turning down my thermostats to 50 degrees. I leave them at about 60 during the day when I am away which is several days a week. I turn them up to around 66 when at home.
Therefore my bill of $449 was more than a shock. What would it cost if I really kept my house warm? Nancy Evins Lebanon
