Don't worry, you won't be alone!

I'll have a little spending money, and a huge cool bag for what I buy, and can snag for free. ;-D

Who are your comedy pin-ups?
French and Saunders definitely. It has to be someone who's genuinely made you laugh and made you want to do the same thing.
Tell us a joke.
OK, what's red and green and goes round and round? A frog in a blender. What's red and green, goes round and round and whistles? A frog in a blender, pretending he doesn't care.
What makes you laugh?
French and Saunders again. Kathy Burke. And Chris Rock.
What is the funniest thing you've ever seen?
Other people's misfortunes. When I was about seven, I remember going to the cinema with my mum and sister. She got up to go to the loo, came back and totally forgot that the seats flipped up. So she sat down in a very relaxed way and just disappeared before our very eyes. I didn't stop laughing on and off during the film.
What is the best practical joke anyone's played on you?
I'm convinced my career to date is a huge practical joke. It's like, 'What? You didn't think this was all really happening, did you? You didn't actually think your dream had come true, did you?'
What is the best practical joke you've ever played on someone?
I was on a residential summer course once and we all had to sleep in these dorms. At the end of our corridor was the laundry room. One evening, me and my friend decided to swap everything from one dorm with everything from the laundry, so when the occupant came back drunk from the pub they'd be confused, and think they'd let themselves into the laundry by accident. That went down really well actually. We were on hand to witness it all, and it was extremely amusing.
When did you last laugh out loud?
Oh, I do that every day. I did a read-through this morning for a new sitcom I'm doing for BBC3, in which I play a pigeon. It's an urban pigeon who has this inner-London accent all the kids are doing now. I laughed a hell of a lot.
What is the funniest thing to happen to you at work?
Oh God, when I filmed a Comic Relief sketch with Kate Moss. Obviously it was the first time I'd ever met her and I was dressed as her, in a school uniform. I remember trying to think of something funny and cool to say but, because I am me, I failed spectacularly. I just said, 'Is it like looking in a mirror?' It was pretty embarrassing. She paused, laughed and then gave me a hug.
What's funny that shouldn't be?
Dogs on skateboards. Do I see a lot of them? On You've Been Framed. It's the combination of animals and wheels.
What's the funniest thing you did at school?
Lots of silly things. I was a very silly girl. My favourite was going into the library every single day and asking the librarian to help me find each of the Mister Men books, individually. Every day I'd ask her in a really serious voice. There's 26 of them and I think I got to about nine until the headmaster got involved. He told us to leave the library, but my friend and I were laughing so much we were literally paralysed, which made it worse.
Who is your comedy hero?
Michael Palin without a doubt. He's very sexy. And kind.
Katy Brand's Big Ass Show is on ITV2, Thursdays at 10pm

Turns out the bartender was from St. Bernard Parish, where the Manganos had their nursing home.
Like St. Bernard, who had loved him as a youth, he was a tireless reader of the Bible.
It is not easy to explain why St. Bernard calls it a "region."
St. Bernard would deliver the bird from the snare of the fowler, and the wild hare from the hounds.
We are in the hotel where our old St. Bernard party assembled.
St. Bernard had already loudly condemned the bon vivants of the age.
St. Bernard, of Clairvaux, died, and was cannonized on this day.
They are in 10¾° latitude, and were named after St. Bernard, having been discovered on his day.
Hold on, there's a tug ashore,—a wreck on the St. Bernard Shoals.
St. Bernard described him as a man having the head of a dove and the tail of a scorpion.

Sixty-seven senators voted to invoke closure on the START Treaty yesterday, the same number needed to ratify the agreement that will reduce nuclear warheads and guarantee a restoration of inspections of Russian missile sites.
The vote is a victory for common sense in the conduct of foreign affairs and a defeat for the "Never give a win to Obama no matter what" stance adopted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Hats off to the Republican senators who put the nation's interest above the partisan recklessness of the GOP leadership.
Foreign Affairs has not been on the radar screen of the Tea Party extremists in the GOP base, so it is unclear if the senators who voted for START will pay a price in the 2012 primaries. For some, any embrace of Obama is bad per se, no matter what the issue. Ask Gov. Charlie Crist.
But, if McConnell's tactics continue for the next two years, the possibility exists that any government action will be paralyzed. His abuse of the filibuster has become insidious. Here's hoping that yesterday's vote - and today's expected passage of the treaty itself - is a sign of things to come.

ICYMI: Off-Beat Business
You've see the headlines, read the front pages and checked out the business section. But In Case You Missed It, here're a few, under-the-radar business stories you might have overlooked.
Small New York Tech Biz Buys Big Company for Cheap
New York-based tech company Betaworks bought news aggregator and social media pioneer Digg for $500,000, according to PC World. Digg was once estimated to be worth $200 million, but has since declined in value.
Report Says New York Isn't the Best Place for Business
Texas outranked New York on CNBC's list of best cities for business because taxes, utility cost and rent weigh heavily on business owners in the Empire State, according to Crain's New York Business. Texas was No. 1 on the list. New York ranked No. 24. But New York is not the most expensive state for businesses. Hawaii tops that list.
Ivory Seized from City Jewelers
Two jewelers owned up to illegally trafficking more than $1 million in ivory from endangered elephants, according to NY1.

Financial Aid: SAIC Scholarships and Grants
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) awards a variety of merit and need-based scholarships and grants to students to help attract a talented group from diverse economic backgrounds to the school. In the 2015–16 academic year, we awarded more than $37 million in assistance from our own funds.
Generally, students must be enrolled at least half-time to receive most SAIC funded scholarships and grants. The amount of SAIC Scholarships and grants is based on the number of actual enrolled credit hours.
The undergraduate definition of half-time for SAIC institutional funds is:
- 6 credit hours in the fall and spring, and
- 3 credit hours during the summer and winter terms
The post-baccalaureate and graduate definition of half-time for SAIC institutional funds is defined by the program. See the SAIC Bulletin for further details or check with a Student Financial Services Advisor.
Explore this section of the website to learn about the wide range of SAIC scholarships and grants available to help you finance your education at SAIC. We encourage you to use our financial aid and student accounts knowledge database by clicking on the "Find Answers" box in the upper right hand corner of this webpage.
Note: The combination of all gift aid (traditionally grants, scholarships and any other aid that does not have to be repaid) may not exceed tuition each semester. All scholarships and grants at SAIC that are applied to a student's account are for tuition only with the exception of the Federal Pell Grant.

The moves are easier to perform using the remote and nunchuck combo, but miserable purists who prefer good old d-pads to those new-fangled analogue sticks will no doubt whine about this. And they'll probably write very strong letters to their MPs when they learn you can't play DKC Returns with a Classic Controller.
This does seem like an oversight. Old Donkey Kong Country games downloaded from the Virtual Console can be played with the Classic, so why can't this new one? Why not map the waggly moves to the shoulder buttons?
Presumably because Nintendo wants to remind us all that motion control makes for more immersive gaming, as if being a huge primate with the power to cause earthquakes feels just like shaking a small white plastic cuboid, and as if immersive is even a word.
But before you race off to download the old trio of DKC games, hold up. Remember that they weren't designed for the nice big widescreen LCD telly sitting in your lounge today. Know that they won't look nearly as pretty as you recall, but will appear to have been constructed out of thousands of small yet individually distinguishable LEGO bricks.
DKC Returns, by comparison, looks beautifully detailed, smooth and polished. Just as the old games did on the SNES, in fact. (Remember when the height of cutting-edge visual sophistication was snowflakes which went in different directions? Heady days.) This is undoubtedly the best-looking instalment in the series, and a strong contender for the title of prettiest Wii game released to date.
It helps that the environments you get to explore are so picturesque. Lush jungles, sandy beaches, blue seas, pink dawns, golden sunsets, sparkling waterfalls, arching rainbows... Good job there's also the odd rusting industrial power-plant and lake of boiling lava to provide a bit of balance.
But even the darker areas have been designed with a lighter touch. Take the ominous-sounding Caves. As it turns out, these are painted in various shades of purple and populated by massive lilac bats.
Every location is packed with power-ups, collectables and secret bonus areas. Along with the traditional K-O-N-G letters there are hidden puzzle pieces to seek out. Finding them all will require the kind of time, dedication and single-minded focus only possessed by pre-teen children and English Literature undergraduates.
For many people, finishing the game at all will be a challenge. By the time you reach the fifth world, DKC Returns has become a properly hard game. There's always an awful lot happening on-screen and it's often occurring at a rollicking pace. Lightning reflexes and precision control are essential if you're to have any hope of handling all the moving platforms, exploding barrels, airborne missiles and massive lilac bats.
Good job there's a Super Guide feature, then, just like the one in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Activating this enables you to see how the level should be played through and skip on to the next. Yes, it's cheating, but you won't care when it's a choice between embedding the Wii remote into your own eye socket out of sheer rage or using the Super Guide so you can carry on playing.

Coalition leader
Mr Abbott also faces questions over his claim that Infrastructure Australia had backed the Coalition's pledge to tip $1.5 billion into Melbourne's proposed East-West road tunnel project.
Budget-constrained governments in Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria have pinned hopes for billions of dollars worth of rail projects on securing federal assistance.
Mr Abbott told reporters in Melbourne Thursday he would focus on roads. "The Commonwealth government has a long history of funding roads. We have no history of funding urban rail and I think it is important that we stick to our knitting and the Commonwealth's knitting when it comes to funding infrastructure is roads," he said.
His spokesman later clarified his position saying a Coalition government would support the development of the interstate rail freight network. "But commuter rail projects are the responsibility of the states and territories. This has traditionally been the case," he said.
The federal Labor government has funded a number of rail projects, including $3.2 billion for Melbourne's regional rail link and $365 million for the Gold Coast light rail network.
West Australian Premier Colin Barnett promised voters only weeks ago his government would spend almost $4 billion on rail projects and rely on federal funds for more than half the budget.
Mr Barnett is relying on the Commonwealth to pay for 80 per cent of the $1.9 billion airport rail line and half the $1.8 billion Max light rail project.
He insisted the projects would go ahead even without federal cash but conceded they would be delayed.
"We expect that future federal governments, whether Liberal or Labor, would consider the benefits of funding such important transport initiatives based on merit," he said.
Under Labor, WA has received almost $240 million towards projects like sinking the rail line through central Perth.
Mr Barnett said he had recently held "informal discussions" about state infrastructure with Mr Abbott.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said he wanted federal assistance for the $5 billion Cross River Rail project. Victorian Premier Denis Napthine has repeatedly declared he will need federal help for the $9 billion Melbourne Metro passenger rail tunnel.
Infrastructure Australia has frequently listed rail projects as the priorities for federal funding.
Mr Abbott said his decision to pledge $1.5 billion for Melbourne's East-West road tunnel was backed by Infrastructure Australia. "We spoke to Infrastructure Australia and their advice was that the most pressing road priority in Melbourne was the East-West link," he said.
An Infrastructure Australia spokesman said it was waiting for a business case for the project from the state government. "The Infrastructure Australia council has not formally advised Mr Abbott in relation to this project," he said. "While individual council members may have discussed the project with him, the formal view of the council is under consideration."

Sincell to Present Nature Photography Sessions for GILL
The first session, which will be held in a classroom, is designed to provide information about photography in general as well as specific techniques and tips for nature photography. Certain rules of photography, which can apply to all situations, will be discussed to help improve the quality of photos. Topics to be covered include exposure, composition, and information specific to each camera. Participants are asked to bring their own cameras and questions.
The second session of Nature Photography will begin on the McHenry campus where instructor Sincell and class participants, equipped with their personal cameras, will board a Garrett College van for a three-hour photography field trip. This outing will provide the opportunity to practice photography skills in the field while under the watchful eye of this seasoned professional.
Sincell currently serves on the Garrett County Arts Council Board and recently opened Eye for Art Gallery & Studio where she hosts monthly art exhibits and offers other photographic services.

SenatorSpacer. We also feature the usual discussion of XBL Indies and talk about the Dreamcast to celebrate its birthday. I also drink some "mana potion" and it was not very fun, especially since it kept we awake all night.
This week's "What We've Been Playing" features discussion on a slew of XBL Indie titles, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Section 8, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, FUEL, F.E.A.R. 2 single-player DLC, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and much more. We follow that up with some PAX discussion featuring games like Heavy Rain, Mass Effect 2, Dante's Inferno, God of War III, Borderlands, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Split/Second, and plenty more. We follow that up with some quick gaming news and end the show with a celebration of the SEGA Dreamcast's 10th anniversary.

Overview of U.S. International Travel
Overview of U.S. International Travel
U.S. international passenger travel experienced a notable expansion from 1990 to 2000 (table 1 and box 1). In total, 366 million inbound and outbound trips were made between the United States and other countries in 2000, a 16 percent increase from 315 million trips in 19903. Of trips made in 2000, the majority of U.S. international travel (approximately 86 percent) was with Canada and Mexico, and most of this was same-day travel (figure 1). While North American travel dominates U.S. international travel overall, it grew at a slower annual rate than U.S. travel with overseas countries in the 1990s. Between 1990 and 2000, trips generated in North America rose 10 percent, in contrast to a 70 percent increase for trips between the United States and overseas countries.
The number of U.S. residents traveling to overseas destinations is slightly greater than the number of overseas visitors coming to the United States. In 2000, 27 million U.S. residents traveled to overseas destinations, while 26 million overseas residents4 came to the United States. Overall, inbound travel to the United States, including both overseas and North American, increased more slowly than outbound U.S. travel. Still, the United States, with 51 million foreign resident visits, surpassed Spain to become the second-most visited country worldwide. In comparison, France accounted for the most international overnight visits, with 76 million in 2000 (USDOC ITA 2001d). Europe still remains the top origin and destination for U.S. inbound and outbound overseas travel, followed by Asia, the Caribbean, and South America (figure 2). However, U.S. travel grew fastest with Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America, during the last decade (table 1). Regions such as Africa, Central America, and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) also experienced notable increases in travel with the United States.
Although U.S. international travel increased between 1990 and 2000, travel began to slow in early 2001 and more significant declines occurred following September 11, 2001. Overnight trips between the United States and overseas countries from January through August 2001 were slightly lower than comparable numbers for 2000. The September and October drops in overseas overnight travel were more drastic, falling by 32 and 34 percent, respectively, from 2000 levels.
Despite these recent declines, international passenger travel generates much revenue for transportation carriers, hotels, restaurants, and other travel-related businesses. The United States had a 7 percent share of all international overnight visitors in 2000 and a 17 percent share of worldwide international overnight visitor receipts (USDOC ITA 2001c). Travel expenditures by international visitors in the United States amounted to $82 billion in 2000, nearly $18 billion more than U.S. residents spent on international trips5 (table 3). Passenger fares paid by international travelers to U.S. transportation providers brought in another $21 billion, but this was $3 billion less than what U.S. residents paid to transportation service providers in other countries.6 Although U.S. residents travel most frequently to Canada and Mexico, they spent the most in terms of their travel costs and passenger fares for visits to the United Kingdom (table 3 and figure 3). In 2000, residents of Japan and the United Kingdom spent more than other international travelers to the United States, followed by Canada and Mexico.
Japanese visitors' expenditures are largely responsible for the U.S. travel and passenger fare expenditures surplus. In 2000, the Japanese spent over $10 billion more in the United States on travel and passenger fares than did U.S. residents traveling in Japan. Meanwhile, the United States ran a travel and passenger fare deficit of approximately $1.6 billion with Mexico in 2000. U.S. residents spend much greater sums of money on their trips to Mexico than Mexicans do in the United States, as expenditures on passenger fares alone show a relatively small balance (USDOC BEA 2001, tables 1 and 10).
3 Total trips include overnight trips (or those of a duration of one night or more) and same-day trips (which include an arrival and departure on the same day). The U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration provides overnight data based on immigration documents required by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Same-day data are from Canadian and Mexican statistical agencies based on immigration documents and travel surveys.
4 This number includes Canada and Mexico and is based on overnight visits only.
5Travel expenditures include goods and services (e.g., food, lodging, recreation, gifts, entertainment, and local transportation) purchased when visiting a foreign country. A traveler is a person who visits a country for less than one year, except diplomats and military and civilian government personnel. Educational and medical expenditures are not included. Expenditures on same-day trips by U.S., Canadian, and Mexican residents are included.
6International passenger fares are fares paid by residents of one country to airline and vessel operators in another country on trips to or from the two countries involved.

The public may be "clueless" about how Medicare works, it is complicated. Especially when different institutions charge different fees, often making payments above what Medicare allows necessary. One must sign an agreement stating one understands that payment above Medicare reimbursement may be billed. However, I would like to say, in my experience with Medicare, that the (Outsourced, barely speaking understandable English) people who work there are pretty clueless about Medicare. And Medicare is clueless about providers who are still Medicare participants. Their lists are woefully outdated, and Medicare is quick to blame the providers for not updating them. I have been given lists of local providers, only to realize 'local' meant up to 200 miles away. I have been given names of practitioners whom I know had not accepted Medicare in years. Maybe Medicare needs a clean up, updating databases, hiring people who can be bothered to find answers to the questions actually asked..

As a patient on Medicare and living on Social Security and a miniscule private fixed retirement - I think we in America do a crappy job of providing for our medical care. It's expensive and we spend approximately $10k out of pocket for our medical care (including drugs). My wife's glasses are out of date she's having trouble seeing, I have age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, possible normal tension glaucoma, asthma and genetically caused CAD with an ICD along with bilateral femoral neuropathy and quadriceps myopathy. I weigh but 140 pounds, walk three miles daily thanks to my canes, eat basically vegetarian with fish and chicken for flavoring if you will and have 1/3 my teeth with no molars and I'm losing my hearing. I cannot afford another surgery, nor up-to-date glasses, glaucoma meds, etc. So I plan on dying in the next few years. My wife has CLL as she has had for almost 10 years upon which we watch and wait. We are $5k above the assistance limit. And all anyone does is blather about medicare and social security. I suspect if everyone everywhere in the USA paid into medicare and social security with no income limit, the trust funds were truly "set-aside" funds and no one in Congress or the Administration got paid unless their networth was less than their pay scale and that we looked to Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Germany for guidance on these issues instead of the Brits, Canadians and millionaires who are and always will be out of touch with reality until they are at their deaths door and realize there's no light at the end of the tunnel! It's all black. Bitter? Angry? You bet! 50 years of hard on my part and 25 years of work by my wife and at 71 she's still working to live with constant pain, mounting bills and joining the road kill of civilization is not a great prospect! And we are NOT alone. Try living on social security and medicare. Ha! As my wife says who's biological grand-father was a full-blood Native American "look what your damned government did to my people - raped the women, killed the babies and men and stole our land. And YOU trust them? And they still have Pelletier in prison"..

There are some interesting gotchas in the Medicare law that people may not be aware of. For instance, if you are hospitalized, you have to pay an $1184 deductible EACH time you are admitted to the hospital, if it has been over 60 days since your last hospital admission. (That's not a yearly deductible, that's every time you are admitted.) There is NO yearly cost cap for the out of pocket costs on part B— the patient pays 20% of the part B adjusted costs no matter how much that is in a year's time. There are yearly costs caps on Medicare payment for physical, occupational, and speech therapy at $1900— this cost cap changes every year. Medicare has made national coverage determinations that denies coverage for incidental services, such as having an artificial disc put in your back after age 60, or payment for a TENS unit for low back pain. And they don't pay for any service that is considered experimental or non-proven, which includes services such as acupuncture and biofeedback. My experience has been that people are often astounded to find out what Medicare doesn't cover..

I need more understanding why a US citizen is eligible after working for a Medicare covered employee for 10 years, but a legal alien only needs to have been in US for 5 years to be eligible..
The Medicare Commission warned President Johnson that the Medicare program that he proposed was demographically unsustainable. He ignored them. Politicians will do or say anything to get re-elected. Thanks to the federal government's housing policy and the repeal of Glass-Stegall, the financial resources of savers and investors were decimated in 2008-09, and many nearing retirement never got back into the market unable to afford any more losses. That fact combined with the financial repression of the Federal Reserve has left many seniors, the very people who saved and invested, and paid taxes for forty years or more, on the edge of destitution. (Unless, you are getting a government pension, one of the few still in existence.) Meanwhile, many of their children, including recent college graduates, can find only part-time work. This trend began in the early 2,000s but has accelerated since the Great recession. These youngsters are having hard time getting jobs because the largest cohort in the labor force is 55+. Nonetheless, the median income for all middle class Americans has slumped, a characteristic of monetary policy that features negative real interest rates. To make matters worse, the CBO estimates that 7 million people will lose their employer provided health insurance at the end of the year. They will pay a minimum of $1,400 to get coverage. Government social and monetary policy is destroying the middle class. So in the midst of this, those who live in the Washington bubble, will tell seniors that they will have to pay more for their Medicare benefits and get less care due to the closure of many private practices, which will reduce access. We are facing an economic, political and social disaster. Ideology is no substitute for reality. Somebody in Washington had better work up the courage to tell Americans what must be done and to gradually increase costs to Medicare beneficiaries. Paul Ryan tried to do this and was vilified. Meanwhile, people who care about seniors, advise them to keep working as long as possible, save money, live frugally, and eliminate all debt..

Definitely one of those swells that varied greatly from place to place. If you knew where to go, and had the time to travel, you could score every day. For me, I agree that Friday was the best... that windswell/groundswell combo was working beautifully, and early Sunday was solid, semi-clean and fun at the right spot/right tide. But other than that, Saturday and for most of the day on Sunday... the good waves were few and far between where I was. Monday and Tuesday I couldn't get in the water, but local beaches up here were not looking good.

Friday evening was definitely the best for me. Waves were peeling. And I found a break just as good as my usual spot with only 3 other people there! Rest of the weekend was ok too, but I will remember Friday.

Friday am was fun - real peak-y - but also some small mini-barrels - got covered up a few times, fun crouching head-dips. Something was in the water though, literally. It was brown and smelled like a sewage plant. I guess thats what happens when it doesn't rain for a month then torrential downpours all night. Oh well. by Saturday am couldn't get out of bed all day, missed the entire rest of the swell, still feeling not 100%

I have to agree, Igor was dookie and so far this hurricane season has been really really weak. I just think we are all getting desprate, waist to head long period close outs being epic, IDK about that. Friday's wind swell was 10X better than Igor, whats up with that.These past few swells have been GARBAGE, Earl only fired for the DP and the evening ses, and even then it wasn't Jersey at its best. I remember being scared for some hurricane swells. I sure hope it gets better. P.S there is always going to be a high level of fecal coliform in our water, especially after a good rain. The best thing you can do to help prevent the sinus infections is to get a sinus wash (neti pot) and use it after each swell. You need to get that dirty water out of your face. I have had too many swollen glands and infections from this filthy water. I still get sick but not nearly as much now.

The San Francisco-based company Identified.com is now gamifying the job search for its 4 million users. Identified has incorporated game-like features to encourage users to continually bulk up their profiles and add just the right elements. Co-founder and co-chief executive Brendan Wallace said "Generation Y is nearly invisible to employers, so this technique is key."
Recruiters have started to practice "social recruiting," perusing Facebook profiles for young potential applicants. But generally there is not enough relevant information gleaned from reading someone's "About me." Identified provides a Facebook app where seekers and recruiters can meet and have a more meaningful interaction. 90 percent of Identified users are under 35, so this is great for recent college grads looking for that first "real job" or the next step forward, but it's also a gold mine for recruiters looking to hire young talent.
To use Identified, you connect through Facebook to start building up your short form resume, and game-like rewards provide an incentive to outline more detailed information and build up your profile. Then you get an Identified "score" that measures how desirable you are to employers. Identified.com was founded by Wallace and Adeyemi Ajao just two years ago, but the company has grown considerably in the last 6 months and so far has raised $5.5 million from venture capitalists. (http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/27/identified-com-gamifies-job-searches-for-4-million-young-people/)
>On the Identified blog, an infographic entitled "Play A Game, Get A Job" outlines the evolution of gamification and its practical, real-world applications such as online dating, fitness programs, energy consumption, and the hiring process. (http://blog.identified.com/2012/03/play-a-game-get-a-job-the-evolution-of-gamification.html)
Identified isn't the only one gamifying the job search. Guy Krief of Upstream designed a competitive test that could identify people with a special blend of skills that would be difficult to discern from a normal resume. The "Upstream Challenge" is open to anyone who would like to try it and includes seven timed exercises featuring mathematical problems, matching emotions to hypothetical work scenarios, and other challenges to measure a candidate's qualifications. Facebook itself has posted complex programming puzzles to test large numbers of applicants, and the practice has indeed led to hires.
According to Gabe Zichermann, gamification is just getting started. "It is not about making a literal game. More often it's about taking elements of games and repurposing them." A December 2011 study by Gartner, Inc. predicts "70 percent of the world's top 2,000 companies will use game techniques as a behavioral motivator to recruit, train, and enhance employee performance, as well as to encourage new ideas, improve employee health, or build customer loyalty, among other goals." (http://management.fortune.cnn.com/2012/04/10/games-job-recruiting/?section=magazines_fortune)
At this point, the possibilities for gamification are beyond what we can even imagine. Creative uses of gaming like this one will start to pick up, and we'll begin to see even more intriguing applications. What the job search model has going for it is it takes something boring, something most people pretty much dread and would rather put off until later, and makes it more fun — as well as more lucrative.

Christchurch: India for the second consecutive time came short at the crunch situation to lose by 73 runs to hosts New Zealand in a league match of the Women's World Cup 2000 match at the BIL Oval on Saturday.The result of this match could leave India finishing third on the league table behind defending champions Australia and New Zealand. If that happens then India would again meet New Zealand in the semi-finals with Australia most probably taking on South Africa in the other semi-final. This calculation can be upset if England beat both Australia and New Zealand or either of them.With New Zealand and India having lost to defending champions Australia, Saturday's match was crucial for both the sides in terms of assessing their strengths and weaknesses in their bid for the title. India once again missed the services of young and dashing middle order batsman Mithali Raj, who is down with a severe throat infection and may be suspected tonsillitis.India lost the match when they allowed New Zealand to run away to a comfortable 224 for five off 50 overs. None of the Indian bowlers, except left-arm spinner Neetu David, impressed on the day and Renu Margrate, who is under a cloud for suspect bowling action, could send down only four overs in which she conceded 21 runs. Only Neetu had excellent figures of 10 overs, three maidens, 28 runs and two wickets.While opener Anna O'Leary anchored the Kiwi innings with a patient 89, Debbie Hockley (53) and Haidee Tiffen (50 not out) knocked the stuffing out of the Indian bowling. Haidee in particular was very severe on the Indian bowlers and set a blistering pace. Her unbeaten 50 runs came off just 36 balls with five hits to the fence. Anna's 89 runs were scored off 146 balls and included three fours.The Indian batting also floundered at the outset and the early run out of opener Anjum Chopra put the breaks on the Indian effort. India had lost three wickets with 39 runs on the board in 13.5 overs. Chandrakanta Kaul and Smita Harikrishna then tried to repair the damage, but it was to late. The fourth wicket pair added 51 runs before India lost a spate of wickets. Chandrakanta remained unbeaten on 59 runs (111 balls, six fours) as India completed their 50 overs on 151 for seven.

SAO PAULO: Somewhere in the middle of all the chaos, the drama and the tears a quite extraordinary race took place at Interlagos on Sunday. It would be futile even to attempt to describe it blow by blow. The important point, the only one that matters in the final analysis, is that Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel secured his third world title by the tightest of margins from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, having dropped to the back of the field on the first lap.
The German's recovery to finish sixth in a race won by McLaren's Jenson Button ensured that the 25-year-old joined two of the greats of the sport in Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher in winning three consecutive titles. All the rest is hot air.
Some of the hottest came from Vettel himself. Overcome emotionally and physically in the aftermath of his victory, the newly crowned triple world champion suggested Red Bull's rivals had resorted to ''dirty tricks'' in an effort to derail their title march. ''We always kept believing,'' Vettel said. ''A lot of people tried to play dirty tricks, we never get irritated, we kept going.''
The German later refused to be drawn on exactly what he was implying, saying that it was ''not for him to comment'' on the subject, but presumably he meant the sniping at the legality of Red Bull's car.
Vettel's comments will make headlines but nothing could completely overshadow such an epic finale. Lewis Hamilton, in his final race for McLaren, missed out agonisingly on what could have been a hugely emotional victory after Force India's Nico Hulkenberg lost control of his car as the pair vied for the lead; Schumacher, in his final race, bowed out with a little reminder of what a great driver he is, engaging in some fierce but fair wheel-to-wheel action with Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen; Button's win, meanwhile, ensured that he amassed more points than his teammate Hamilton over their three seasons together.
Then there was Alonso. The Spaniard might have been aided by teammate Felipe Massa in recent weeks but Alonso's performance this year in a car which was rarely as quick as those of Red Bull or McLaren was extraordinary.
With rain forecast, sure enough, as the cars amassed on the grid a few light raindrops began to fall, hinting at the drama in store. No one, though, could have predicted just how quickly things would descend into chaos. Within a lap, Vettel had spun - hit side-on by Bruno Senna's Williams at turn four - and been relegated to the back of the field.
Alonso, meanwhile, got off to a flyer, rising from seventh on the grid to fourth. With the Spaniard needing a podium finish to stand any chance of claiming the title, Alonso made full use of his teammate, passing both the Brazilian and Red Bull's Mark Webber as they tangled on lap two. Had the race ended then, the Spaniard would have been champion.
The drama was only just beginning. Vettel climbed back through the field, making light of problems with his team radio, never quite knowing whether the damage he had suffered to the rear bodywork during his first-lap collision would prove terminal.
Alonso did everything he could, cajoling race control when he felt a safety car could prove advantageous, taking advantage of Massa's generosity and Hulkenberg's lunge on Hamilton with 27 laps remaining. In the end he could do no more. The race ended under the second safety car after Force India's Paul di Resta crashed with one lap remaining.
As Red Bull celebrated wildly and Ferrari dissolved into tears, Alonso was dignity personified. ''I'm proud of my team,'' he said. ''When you do something with your heart, 100 per cent, you have to be happy.''
The last word, as it has for the past three years, went to Vettel. ''Everything which could go wrong did go wrong,'' he said. ''For sure it was the toughest [championship]. People tried everything - inside the lines, outside the lines - to beat us. But we stayed true to ourselves.''

Trade and Transportation by Dr. Thomas O'Brien
Blueprint For Moving Forward
December 3rd, 2013 - It hasn't been the easiest of times of late for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Both ports have interim executive directors, a common enough occurrence in an industry where port leadership reflects the changing nature of local politics. But it's also an industry that dislikes uncertainty, and the recent unrest at the Long Beach Harbor Commission in particular has elicited a fairly vocal response from industry leaders and some elected officials who have offered a cautionary reminder about the impact of that uncertainty on our region's competitiveness and the port's reputation.
But the direction of North America's largest port complex should involve difficult discussions. And the examples we have of strong leadership from both ports' 100-plus year history should provide a blueprint for moving forward, no matter the messiness currently being played out in public. In fact, we can be proud of the role this region has taken in developing the kinds of innovations that provide new models for the way goods can and should move in a global supply chain. This includes technological innovations, infrastructure projects like the Alameda Corridor, and operational changes like evening and weekend gates at the ports which, while seemingly logical, didn't happen until terminal operators found a way to make PierPass work. There are also homegrown policy innovations that have allowed us to define what makes both a port and a supply chain "green."
I'd like to add educational innovations to the list. While it is now common for schools to offer supply chain management and logistics degrees, and for those programs to feature internship opportunities for students to see the supply chain at work, this was not always the case. And programs that engage industry experts in both curriculum design and instruction were even less common. Historically, goods movement had a bias against classroom learning. It was an industry where you learned on the job. That has changed over the past few decades.
I have my own biases. I think that the role that CSULB has played in forging a new path forward in logistics education is another model of which our region can be proud. Programs like the Global Logistics Specialist (GLS) Program, which has provided a skilled workforce for the trade and transportation industry for more than 15 years, has changed the relationship between the university and all sectors involved in moving goods. Past and current students have included harbor commissioners, port directors and a Federal Maritime commissioner. I'm proud to be part of it.
I'm also proud to have worked under the founder of the program, Marianne Venieris. She is the executive director of CSULB's Center for International Trade and Transportation and a prime example of the ways in which bold thinking and some risk-taking can redefine how an entire industry can and should operate. Marianne is retiring at the end of the year and she is leaving our center, the university, and the industry in better shape than the way she found it.
The GLS program has continued to provide a unique educational setting in which those new to the industry and those looking to advance their existing careers can learn about all facets of global goods movement from those who actually do it. In the process, they develop a network of fellow professionals that provides continuing support beyond the life of the program. In 2007, GLS was recognized by the University Continuing Education Association as the country's outstanding professional development program. And out of the GLS grew other industry: university professional development partnerships focusing on masters-level education and specialized training in areas like marine terminal operations.
Marianne Venieris also knew that the audience for reliable information on the goods movement industry extended beyond the classroom. Before the establishment of CITT's annual Town Hall meeting, there were few forums where the broader community could come together to discuss issues of concern and shared purpose in the spirit of education.
But she had a unique vision to create a place where the best efforts of the university could serve an industry that was so vital to the local economy. And it was revolutionary to think that you could bring ports, terminal operators and labor together at the same educational forum and have them meet regularly around the same table (apart from negotiations, of course). She understood that even those who worked along the global supply chain, whether as a longshoreman or terminal operator, warehouse operator or government official, had something to learn about the way the rest of the industry operates while contributing their own unique perspective to the dialogue.
For her contributions, she was recognized with the 2005 Stanley T. Olafson Award from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the highest honor an individual can receive from the local trade community. The fact that an educator received an award usually reserved for leaders of this region's most important global industries (past winners include Walt Disney) or promoters of trade like former L.A. mayors Sam Yorty and Tom Bradley speaks volumes about her impact on the trade sector and the respect she has earned both inside and outside the walls of the university. This is quite a legacy and a reminder of the leadership that exists in our industry, no matter the headline. She deserves our thanks and our best wishes for a well-deserved retirement.

On Constitution Day, Celebrate That Document For What It Really Says

Editor's Note: This post originally ran on Thanksgiving Day 2007. It was written by Joe Conn, Americans United's former director of communications. Joe, who retired in July of 2013 after a remarkable 33 years of service to AU, makes the case for being thankful for the church-state wall. Happy Thanksgiving!
When you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner today, do you plan to say grace?
Colonial-era Baptist minister John Leland was a devout Christian, but he was no bigot.
In an essay titled "The Virginia Chronicle" (1790), Leland attacked antiquated laws in the Old Dominion that limited public office to certain types of Christians.
"If a man merits the confidence of his neighbors in Virginia," observed Leland, "let him worship one God, twenty Gods or no God. Be he Jew, Turk, Pagan, or Infidel, he is eligible to any office in the state."
Tomorrow is Independence Day, and many of us will be meeting up with family for cook-outs, picnics, reunions and other events.
While I'm certainly not recommending that you get into an argument with your Uncle Lou who watches too much Fox News, I acknowledge that it might happen. If it does and the topic of America as a "Christian nation" comes up, here is some information you might find useful.
I graduated not so long ago from an all-male private high school, properly considered parochial, I'd say, for more than just its Catholic affiliation. And so, some of my freshest memories there date from the 2008 election.

I can't tell you how many diets I've been on in my life. The grapefruit diet, the cookie diet, the no-sugar diet, the no-carbs diet, the Atkins diet, the raw diet, the juice diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, and too many more to list. While I've never been terrifically skinny or incredibly overweight, I've definitely vacillated in the 20-pounds zone. Sometimes, I'm up. Sometimes, I'm down. Mostly, I go in phases. For years, I'm very good. Other times, I am very bad. In the long run, it does seem like diets don't really work. You lose it, but it tracks you down and finds you again. I have found one pretty fail-safe method over the years, though. And that's the sex diet. The sex diet can be executed only under very specific circumstances. You can't buy it in a store. You can't do it if you're coupled up. And you can't do it if you live in a nunnery. The sex diet requires you be single, you've met someone, and you're starting to get the impression that at some point in the not-too-distant future, you're going to be having sex with this person. The bottom line: The sex diet is fueled by the unmitigated anxiety of getting naked in front of another person for the first time.
On dates, you can hide extra pounds with belts, certain tops, and a mean pencil skirt. It's when you're getting near the naked zone when things can get tricky. Obviously, one should love oneself as one is — but you know what? That's not always easy. I don't know a woman who doesn't worry about her body, and when you're having first-time sex, you're not just worrying about your body, you're worrying about what the other person thinks of your body, too.
On the sex diet, reason goes out the window. All of a sudden, you're eating right, you're exercising regularly, and you're doing every thing you can to get that metabolism moving, dammit, before you do the deed. Sex is a pretty strong motivator, I've found. The sex diet? It works. Every time.
Have you ever tried it?

I love Kit Kat bars & I love Crunch Bars. When the hubs runs into a convenience store when we are traveling- those are the things I tend to gravitate towards. Those are the chocolate bars that I will grab. It's been a while since we were on a road trip. I'm not counting the one in December to So Cal – we were not traveling for pleasure & I was not snacking during that one. So I think the last trip was when we moved here. Which means I have been craving those candy bars for a long while. I know that I could pick them up any time at the market – it's just sort of different that way. So I decided to put them together & whip up these incredibly easy Kit Kat Crunch Bars to satisfy the craving.
