Online Extra: Top Ways to Sink a Job Hunt
By Paula Lehman
A student walks into an elite investment bank wearing a top-of-the-line suit that his parents shelled out a grand for. Everything from the waist up looks great, but when the recruiter gazes down, it's not a pair of Johnston & Murphy wingtips poking out from under the hem of the designer pants. It's a pair of flip flops (see BusinessWeek.com, 8/23/06, "You Can't Wear That to an Interview!").
Wardrobe malfunctions are just one of the many things that can go horribly, horribly wrong on the job hunt. In this case, the student's sartorial slip-up was an act of deliberate sabotage—he was being pushed against his will into a profession he had no interest in and wanted to make sure he didn't get the job.
In a cutthroat job market, mistakes—deliberate or otherwise—can doom a job hunt from the get-go. Here's a list of entirely avoidable mistakes, and some advice from experts on how to give yourself an edge—unless, of course, sabotage is what you're going for.
Do you need a degree to land your first real job in the professional world? It probably helps, but it definitely doesn't help if the degree you present is fabricated. That's always been a no-no. Just ask former RadioShack (RSH ) CEO David Edmondson, who was forced to resign in February after he was unable to verify the diploma he said he had received from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College (see BusinessWeek.com, 2/22/06, "RadioShack's Lesson").
But these days, employers are getting more diligent about rooting out less obvious fabrications, too, such as fudging employment dates to cover up a gap on your résumé, inflating the title you held during a summer internship, or awarding yourself an academic honor.
David Nachman, vice-president for marketing & business development at HireRight.com, which runs checks on potential employees for client companies, advises job seekers to be diligent about rooting out little white lies on their resumes—and sooner rather than later. "Don't feel like you have to keep up the charade," says Nachman. "Even if you have to pay a consequence now, it will be less than what you will have to pay later."
According to a Robert Half International (RHI ) survey taken at the end of last year, a third of executives say job candidates make most of their mistakes during the interview. Don't let this be you. First, take the preliminary phone interview seriously: Sharpen your verbal skills and minimize background noise. The last thing you want to hear from an interviewer is "Did you just go to the bathroom?"
When it comes down to the face-to-face interview, do your homework. Have lunch with someone who knows the company's culture. You'll get a better idea about the job you're applying for and the people you'll be working with. It will help you prepare for everything from dress code to your first performance evaluation.
Like everything else, interviewing is a skill—one that improves with practice. Nachman suggests recruiting friends to put you through a mock interview, and scheduling interviews with less desirable companies before those with top-choice employers. "Start with a job that you're not as excited about," he says. "That way you can practice on a less-sought-after job first."
It's Online ID 101: know how much information is too much. Rule No. 1 for anyone with career aspirations beyond the local McDonald's franchise should be to keep private life offline. That would have helped the University of Illinois grad who lost his summer internship after his employer discovered his Facebook profile, where he described his marijuana smoking habit. This goes for e-mail, too. When Dianna Abdala turned down a job at a Boston law firm, after initially accepting it, the testy e-mail exchange between her and a senior attorney at the firm ultimately found itself in thousands of in-boxes across the globe.
In this day and age, personal information is postable (and alterable), and often online identities are longer lasting than desired (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/25/05 "The MySpace Ecosystem"). "People have to be pretty cautious, that's the bottom line," says Nachman. "More of our customers are relying on social networks for background checks. Applicants need to realize that people are looking at these sites."
One of the biggest mistake that job seekers typically make is not something they do, but something they don't do: ask for help. Kevas Mohan, a member of the 2004 graduating class at Duke University, made the mistake of trying to shortcut straight to the job from the "who-ya-know" position. Having found an alumni, Dan Levitan, working in venture capital, he spent the next month e-mailing and calling to no avail. "I think there's an inherent assumption that we can contact alumni and they'll hire us on the spot," Mohan says. "The idea that you can contact alumni directly is a farce."
The remedy? Mohan went to his history professor, Dean William Chafe, and with one phone call to Levitan, his former student, Mohan had himself a lunch. Don't underestimate the value of career counselors both on campus and off. They will broaden your network and keep you posted on jobs you may not have found on your own. More young job candidates are using professional career coaches to sharpen their edge in the hiring market. Private counselors aren't inexpensive. Hayden-Wilder, a year-old Boston career counseling firm, lists packages of services ranging from $850 to $2,950.
What are you waiting for? Career counselors advise college students to start looking for their first post-college jobs by their sophomore year. "In the current system, investment banks and consulting firms—companies that do most of the on-campus recruiting—are hiring from their internship programs," says Sheila Curran, the executive director of Duke University's Career Center and co-author of the recently published Smart Moves for Liberal Arts Grads: Finding a Path to Your Perfect Career. "Sophomore year is ideal for kids that are interested in places that recruit on campus. Otherwise you should start looking when you have a true commitment to thinking about your career."
You can also miss opportunities by not seeking out "hidden jobs"—those that open up as someone in the company leaves or is promoted. Many times these positions are unadvertised because companies would rather fill them quickly, without a full-scale search. The best way to stay on top of these kinds of openings is to keep up with your network of contacts and recruiters. Often as a last resort, companies will hand the open position to a recruiter to find the appropriate candidate.

Pros:Robust, internationally compatible, connector connects snuggly, bright LED.
Cons:Not very portable,expensive.
The Bottom Line: The Asus ADP-180HB D 180W AC Power Adapter delivers the 180W that our two powerful Asus G75VW-RH71 gaming laptops need. It is robust and globally compatible.
Some time ago we bought our kids a couple of powerful gaming laptops from the Republic of Gamers. It was two Asus G75VW-RH71. These laptops are extremely fast, they have awesome graphics, and they are also quite big, expensive, and power hungry. That's the price you have to pay for a good gaming experience. The Asus G75VW-RH71 laptops are not your run of the mill gaming laptops.
Unlike most other laptops, which work with less than 60W, the Asus laptops consume up to 180W. They certainly don't consume 180W all the time, but if you can't provide 180W when it is needed the Asus will malfunction. The Asus ADP-180HB D 180W AC Power Adapter is one of a relatively small set of AC Adapters that gives you 180W. It is compatible with and used with a range of power hungry Asus laptops including the Asus G75VW-RH71.
The Asus ADP-180HB D 180W AC Power Adapter is fairly large 6.73 X 3.39 X 1.63 inches (171 X 86 X 41.4 mm). It comes with a 70 inch AC power cable and a 70 inch DC power cable going to the laptop. It has 5.5 X 2.5 mm barrel tip connector. It weighs 1.8 pounds or 0.8 Kilograms. This makes this Asus Power Adapter less portable. However, it is not so heavy and big that it won't fit in the somewhat bigger laptop bag that you need to carry the Asus in anyway.
The output from the Asus ADP-180HB D 180W AC Power Adapter is 19 Volts and a maximum current of 9.5Ampere. It is compatible with 100V to 240V outlets and 50/60Hz. This means that it is worldwide compatible. You can use it anywhere in the world without a transformer as long as you have the right plug adapter.
The Asus ADP-180HB D 180W AC Power Adapter has a fair amount of nice features. It has a bright LED for monitoring the power, it has a built in recoverable fuse (excess current/voltage protection), as well short circuit protection for the outgoing power (protection in/out), and high grade insulation. It is robust and it can take abuse but it comes with a one year warranty.
We've had these power adapters for six months and we have not had any problems.

Blood libel is a term that has to do with the Jews eating their babies. However, most Catholics now know that the Jews are our friends because they are key to speeding up the Rapture. Now it's atheists, feminists, Arabs, Muslims, agnostics, pastafarians, Hindoos, Buddhists, and sodomites who eat babies during orgies. Mel Gibson, however, is an old-school kind of guy when it comes to his blood libel.
Modern-day Blood LibelEdit
Modern day Blood Libel has to do with all kinds of Gaytheists and cultists and evil Jews eating babies and aborted fetuses. It's all a part of the satanic plot implemented by the Bearluminaty who control the world.

Morning Strike suspended
I did a European candidates election debate yesterday, which was great fun, especially Douglas Hurd's poor chairing but rather entertaining comments...and I ran into some people I knew from one of Oxfordshire's peace groups.
They told me they found the Morning Star essential, a daily newspaper covering the peace movement.
Its a daily radical newspaper that gives coverage to all on the progressive left. I have disagreements with it but it gives a variety of voices space, much more pluaralist than most political newspapers.
So I have dismayed by the recent strike. I think that the staff deserve to be paid more but I appreciate that most political newspapers pay nothing at all!
Any way glad to learn from today's Press Gazette that the strike has been suspended and both sides are going to be talking.
By the way I have column with the Morning Star and no I don't get paid.

Power Rankings: Blackhawks are back on top
As the 2016-17 regular season enters its final stretch, it's time to get serious. There's been a lot of moving and shaking within the rankings over the past couple of weeks, but this time I'm taking a hard look at which teams are really the best of the best — and which ones are spinning around the drain. We have a new No. 1, which shouldn't be a surprise, as the rest settle into position. It's no longer about winning streaks or losing skids, but more about consistency and the likelihood of winning the Stanley Cup.
Thanks to a five-game winning streak, the red-hot Blackhawks became the first Western Conference team to lock down a Stanley Cup playoff berth. It's Chicago's ninth consecutive postseason appearance, and this was the earliest it has clinched during that run. The Blackhawks are playing inspirational hockey at the right time and look like a legitimate Cup contender.
The Capitals were the first team to clinch a berth this season, beating the Blackhawks to the punch by a day. Washington has earned 100 points and qualified for the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Since captain Alex Ovechkin snapped his 10-game goal drought, he's gone another pair of games without scoring one. Ovi needs to find some consistency before the postseason.
When the best player in the world is playing up to his title, his team feeds off his energy and commitment. Sidney Crosby became the first player to reach the 40-goal plateau this season and is tied with the Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid for the league lead with 80 points. This is only the second time in his career that Crosby has scored 40 goals, while the Penguins are 7-1-1 in their past nine games.
The Blue Jackets reached the 100-point plateau for the first time in franchise history and also clinched a postseason berth for the third time in 17 seasons. Columbus has the potential to be a dangerous team in the playoffs, thanks in large part to goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who is 7-0-0 with a 1.14 goals-against average and a .963 save percentage in March. He also leads the league with 39 wins.
Forward Eric Staal has been an important guy for the Wild this season both on and off the ice during his first season in Minnesota. The veteran — who has found new life with the Wild and has 24 goals and 30 assists for 54 points in 71 games — recently played in his 1,000th NHL game.
After a successful six-game homestand (4-2-0), the Sharks remain atop the Pacific Division. Next up, they embark on a four-game road trip through Dallas (two games), Minnesota and Nashville.
Rangers forward Chris Kreider is in the midst of a five-game point streak, with two goals and four assists for six points during that span. He's been New York's best player at times this season, and New York needs more performances like that from Kreider it it's going to make a deep playoff run.
The addition of Jordie Benn at the trade deadline has paid dividends for the Canadiens. His timely offensive production has helped Montreal open a four-point lead on the Ottawa Senators for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.
The hottest team in the league is playing its best hockey at the most opportune time. The Flames are 13-1-1 in their past 15 games and have regained sole possession of third place in the Pacific Division. Calgary has goalie Brian Elliott to thank for this string of victories. He has won 11 in a row and has a 1.70 GAA and .942 save percentage during that span.
Back-to-back losses to the Canadiens should serve as a reminder what's at stake for the Senators, who have 11 games remaining in the regular season. Recent defeats at the hands of the Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning shouldn't sit well either. The Sens will aim to get back in the win column against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.
11. (8) Boston Bruins, 38-27-6
While all eyes are on forward Brad Marchand (37 goals) and his attempt to keep pace with Crosby (40) for the league lead, the Bruins' David Pastrnak has been on an offensive tear of late too, with six goals and nine assists for 15 points in his past 11 games.
Forward Rickard Rakell is getting hot at the right time for the Ducks. He has goals in four consecutive games and has a total of five points during that span. The 23-year-old forward has reached the 30-goal plateau this season, which is the kind of production Anaheim needed from him.
McDavid is tied with Crosby for the league lead in points, with 80. The Oilers captain has 25 goals and 55 assists — but he isn't the only player pumping in the goals for Edmonton. Leon Draisaitl (24 goals and 39 assists) has surpassed the 60-point mark for the first time in his NHL career.
Forward Vladimir Tarasenko continues to entertain and put up prolific numbers. His 34 goals and 63 points have kept the Blues in the playoff picture.
The Predators, who are clinging to a playoff spot, play their next three games at home against the Arizona Coyotes, Flames and San Jose Sharks.
This team will be a lot of fun to watch if it does make the postseason. The Maple Leafs are the first team to have three rookies reach the 50-point mark in a season since the Jets did so in 1992-93. Toronto's William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner have all accomplished the feat this season.
17. (19) Tampa Bay Lightning, 34-28-9
The return of captain Steven Stamkos depends on several factors, including his team's ability to stay in the playoff hunt. The Lightning captain had knee surgery in November and recently returned to the ice for skating sessions. The schedule's not helping either. Because of Tampa Bay's lack of upcoming practice time, Stamkos has not been able to fully test his knee in game-like situations.
Since arriving in Los Angeles at the trade deadline, veteran forward Jarome Iginla has produced for the Kings. He has three goals and one assist for four points in eight games as L.A. attempts to stay in playoff contention.
Only 10 games into his NHL career, prospect Josh Ho-Sang has three goals and three assists for six points. Islanders GM Garth Snow was shopping the 21-year-old forward at the deadline, but Ho-Sang has shown his potential to make an impact in Brooklyn.
The Jets' chances of earning a postseason berth are dwindling, but the team has a bright future. Captain Blake Wheeler reached the 500-point plateau over the weekend.
The Flyers aren't completely out of playoff contention — and they're showing some grit down the stretch. Case in point: Philadelphia tied Sunday's game in the final minute of regulation before Brayden Schenn scored 38 seconds into overtime for a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
Maybe Jaromir Jagr will keep going until he's 50. The 45-year-old forward played in his 1,700th NHL game on Sunday, becoming the fourth player in NHL history to reach that mark, joining Gordie Howe (1,767), Mark Messier (1,756) and Ron Francis (1,731).
The Hurricanes are mathematically still in contention. If they don't earn a playoff berth this season, this deep, young team should enjoy many trips to the postseason in the future.
Maybe it's time for a coaching change in Buffalo. In spite of their young and talented roster, the Sabres will miss the postseason. Maybe head coach Dan Bylsma's message is not getting through to the players, because his team has missed out on more than a few chances this season.
It's been a tough year in Hockeytown. The Red Wings are on the verge of missing the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in 25 years.
Another disappointing season in Vancouver could only get worse down the stretch. The Canucks face the Blackhawks, Blues and Wild this week.
There should be a sign on GM Jim Nill's door that reads: Goalie wanted. Statistically, Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi are two of the worst netminders in the league, which does not bode well for the team moving forward. Nill must figure out the goaltending situation or next season will feature much of the same in Dallas.
The Devils' chances of finishing strong don't look promising. In the midst of a 1-8-1 stretch in its past 10 games, New Jersey is now the worst team in the Eastern Conference.
I can't wait to see how this organization grows under GM John Chayka.
It's going to be an interesting offseason for the Avalanche as GM Joe Sakic rebuilds the team.
31. (N/A) Vegas Golden Knights
GM George McPhee and his staff continue to prepare for the expansion draft.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) shares are down -1.0% to $80.45 in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of the company's fiscal third quarter earnings results.
The drop comes after the consumer goods manufacturer missed revenue estimates and lowered its adjusted earnings guidance for 2014.
P&G had expected earnings to grow 5%-7% this year but readjusted that assessment to 3%-5% growth.
Revenue fell -0.2% to $20.56 billion from $20.6 billion in the year ago period, missing analyst consensus estimates of $20.68 billion.

TheStreet Ratings team rates PROCTER & GAMBLE CO as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate PROCTER & GAMBLE CO (PG) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:

When we received the rug the first thing we noticed was a tear, about 3" long, on the bottoms of the rug. We can't see it from the top side so we decided to keep it. The rug is lovely. The colors are a little darker than shown in the room shot, but more-or-less the same in tone - soft blues, reds and golds. However, I am noticing that the rug is shedding a lot. Within a day of laying out the rug we had grey-blue dust bunnies accumulating on and around the rug. And, the 1st time I vacuumed it, the canister was almost completely full of fibres. I am concerned about how this will stand up over time if it continues to shed like this. Since we rent and will likely not be able to take this rug with us to our next home, the low price makes this a worthy purchase. However, if you are looking for a rug that will last you into the future, you might want to look at something elseRead More
I've purchased several rugs on Overstock so I had no hesitation when purchasing from them because the price, quality and shipping is great. I DID spend a lot of time picking out this rug and the one thing I learned was to look at the pile height. I didn't do this when purchasing other rugs at Overstock and ended up needing a rug pad for some. Not with this one!!!! This is a thick, soft and heavy rug very high quality. I thought the photo and colors were as close as they could get it. One reviewer called this an interesting shade of charcoal brown and although I'm not sure I'd call it charcoal but it is beautiful and unique shade of brown. Not milk chocolate brown or dark chocolate brown just a very beautiful different shade. I have it paired with a dark brown couch and it isn't too much brown (like I wondered about when choosing it) because the border is a beautiful baby blue. I have an open concept hard wood floor with cream walls and this rug brings out the beauty of the oak flooring. The design is so pretty and I especially like the little bit of burnt orange in the design. I really wanted a blue rug but many of the reviews talked about teal and turquoise or the rug was blue with a brown border so I decided to go with this one and I am so glad. Since our large rectangle coffee table sits in the middle you see the gorgeous light blue border. That is the effect I really wanted. I hate to admit how much time it took me to pick out this rug but when I got news of the rug sale I decided to go to my Wish List and I chose this one from three others I had been contemplating. What's funny is I already had the half moon rug in this same design and loved it when I put it in my kitchen by the sink. It is SO THICK it is a joy to stand on. So then I decided it would be great in the 6x9 size but I worried it would be too much brown with a dark brown couch. But it is NOT because of the interesting shade of brown of this rug and the blue. Now I am going to look for pillows for the couch in shades of blue and the burnt orange and it will be good to go! So if you are reading this review...compare the pile height in this rug to others and you will see what I mean. I absolutely love this rug and it is perfect for changing up the look of my living room from the cranberry and blue 8x10 rug I bought last summer from Overstock. I love both rugs but for warmer weather I want to enjoy more of the hard wood. Then in the winter I will change back to the larger rug. My kitchen is painted cranberry so the first rug I bought was great but now that I have learned about pile height I would never buy anything below a .5 again. I also learned that the border is often the focal point of the rug not the middle. Overstock shows photos to showcase rugs but in reality most area rugs have a coffee table or dining room sitting on them. I learned this with my first purchase because I loved the center design but the coffee table covered a lot of it up. Luckily I loved the border in my 8x10 rug but that was only luck because I bought it for the inner design. So with this 6x9 I chose it more for the border and I am so happy! Even if I place the front two legs of the couch on the carpet you see 3 sides of the border and that's my favorite part! So to sum it up...this rug is true to the photo, incredibly thick and lovely. Plus it arrived quick and packaged against rain. Thanks O.com!!!!Read More
This rug is fabulous! It has brought some extra color into my dining room and really helps to accentuate the darker table I have! It needed to be vacuumed a few times, but doesn't look worn out after the extra fibers have come out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! One side note, there are just 2 adults + 1 cat in my house, I don't really use our dining room much, so I can't attest for durability!Read More
Exactly as described. Love it. .........................Read More
I love the color of this rug, the main color is charcoal, which I find it to be a bit different. It works well with other colors, it does not clash. It is exceptionally thick and plush, nothing shy about the content of the fiber. I am using it in my formal dining room, but I could also use it in the living romm and den, very versatile.Read More
Very nice rug in and enjoy the darker colors in this rug, the blue border is very very pleasing, looks great!Read More

Very professional service
Victor and his boys were wonderful. He made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted before beginning the work. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to advise us of all available options and their pros and cons. The standard of work done was excellent and his team were polite and courteous. We would not hesitate to recommend Victor to anyone, we were delighted with the work he did for us.
Would highly recommend, they were extremely punctual, friendly and reliable. We booked the job with quite short notice but Natasha and her team where extremely flexible and worked all hours to make sure the work was completed on time. We needed our flat to be painted within a day and they arrived at 7.30am and stayed working until at least 11pm to make sure it was done. Good value and very easy to work with! Will 100% be using again for future jobs
Great team, work completed on time, as requested and for the price agreed. Thanks
Very tidy . Came when promised. Very satisfied with work done. Would recommend to others.
Very courteous and helpful, punctual and reliable. I would recommend them to my friends

Jayhawks return to their roots on new CD
Alan Sculley
For the Call
When Mark Olson, singer and a key songwriter in the Jayhawks, left the band in 1995, the remaining group members tried to use his departure as a chance to reinvent the group.
"I think with Mark leaving it was like a clean slate handed to us," said Gary Louris, who had been the group's other singer and primary songwriter. "Here was an opportunity to really instead of trying to pretend like nothing changed and just quickly put out a record with another guy singing, we said: 'Well, what have we got to lose? Let's show another side of us.'''
That's exactly what the revamped group did. With the core lineup of Louris (vocals/guitar), Marc Perlman (bass), Tim O'Reagan (drums) and Karen Grotberg (keyboards) supplemented by Kraig Johnson (guitar) and Jessy Greene (violin, viola), the new Jayhawks re-emerged in 1997 by moving to a larger, more pop-oriented sound on the CD "Sound of Lies."
The next CD, "Smile," featured a smaller lineup — Greene had left the band — but an even bigger sound. However, with the new CD, "Rainy Day Music," the Jayhawks have re-embraced the more rootsy, acoustic-rooted blend of rock, pop and country that typified the years with Olson.
"Although I say now it may backfire, to me it ("Rainy Day Music") is a little bit of a gift to those fans who've always been loyal to us and sometimes got a little bit confused with some of the twists and turns we took them through and maybe just wanted to hear a record that sounded a little bit more like the old Jayhawks — although we'll never sound exactly like the old Jayhawks because Mark Olson is not here," Louris said.
Louris described the more stripped-down sound of "Rainy Day Music" as a reaction against the more heavily produced, and lusher electric sound of the "Smile" CD.
That critically acclaimed CD was a grand, unabashed pop CD that augmented the basic structures of songs with strings, keyboards and multiple harmonies.
"Any artist, any person, works in cycles, right?" Louris said, justifiably adding that he is proud of the "Smile" CD. "You usually end up coming back to similar places you were at once you get away from them long enough.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and so I think 'Smile' was, well there are many ways to make great records, and (none) is more right than another. But there were times with 'Smile' that I found later because we started playing around with our studio that we built, that we made pretty extensive demos and got into making the sounds. Sometimes it got a little confusing on where the song was (because of) the things we layered,'' he continued.
"So it (the new music) was a combination of wanting to just write a song that sounded great as just that person in a room playing, it was that and a combination of the fact of feeling a bit nostalgic for a rootsier record," Louris said.
And "Rainy Day Music" definitely has its share of winning songs. The tone gets set from the outset with the graceful vocal melody "Stumbling Through the Dark" accompanied by banjo, restrained acoustic and electric guitar and drums.
Other first-rate tracks follow, with "Tailspin" — a tune that evokes the band's Byrds influence — the sweet acoustic ballad "Save It for a Rainy Day," "One Man's Problem" — which combines a grooving verse with a gorgeous chorus melody — and the particularly country-ish ballad "Tampa to Tulsa" being just a few of the highlights.
The sound of the "Rainy Day Songs" isn't the only thing that's stripped back. So is the Jayhawks lineup. Keyboardist Jen Gunderman, who had replaced Grotberg during the "Smile" project, and Johnson both are gone.
Much of the new CD was recorded live in the studio by Louris, Perlman and O'Reagan, with former Long Ryders guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Stephen McCarthy — who since has joined the lineup full time — playing on several of the tracks as well.
Louris said the changes didn't involve major conflicts, and he singled out Gunderman for special praise.
"Musically and even personally there were no grounds for parting ways because her playing was impeccable and she was great," he said.
Instead the issues were practical, especially with Virginian McCarthy coming on board.
That would have meant absorbing the cost and logistical hassles of flying both Gunderman and McCarthy in for shows or rehearsals in the band's home base of Minneapolis. Plus Louris liked the leaner sound that had emerged during the "Rainy Day Music" project.
"It was expensive, and so finally logistics (dictated the lineup change), and also there are times where we didn't want keyboards on every song," Louris said. "There were times when people had a hard time hearing the vocals because there was so much going on (instrumentally). And it was somewhat liberating to feel like there are just four of us, less is more."
The Jayhawks play Friday, Nov. 7, at Mississippi Nights. Tickets for the 9 p.m. show, which also features the Sadies, cost $15.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
How long have you had the set for and when did the problem occur?
Does the power light on the front fo the set blink?
I understand.
Please try this, shine a flashlight directly up against the screen of the TV and look very very closely at the screen. Do you see a dimly lit image behind the screen?
The problem is that the backlight inverter boards (Slave and master), or the power supply output rail that feeds the inverters has failed. The power supply output needs to be tested for voltages both under load and no load to determine which board has the fault. Unfortunately there are no resets or buttons you can press to fix the problem and the set will require service. Average cost for this type of repair is around $250 parts and labor if the inverters are found faulty, or also $250 parts and labor if it's determined the power supply is the culprit. The problem is going to be either one or the other.

Butter Pecan Cream Cheese Bars
Recipe by TeksGlutes
Blue Ribbon Winner from the Wisconsin State Fair
Top Review by littledarmi
The taste and texture of the crust and the cream cheese was very good. I felt like the proportions of the crust to the cream cheese filling was off though. I doubled the cream cheese part, and still felt like the crust was too thick. Next time I will make it with less crust. I didn't use the butterscotch chips because I didn't have them, and I didn't use chocolate because my mom doesn't like chocolate. But it still tasted good!

text: In the journey of revival we have seen many manifestations of His presence touch so many souls. The Toronto Blessing that began in January of '94 was a move of God in renewal and revival that totally changed our lives. I was a pastor on staff at a church of 6,000 members. Very comfortable in the position and ministry. I had NO clue of the renewal and revival happening in Toronto, and not a clue of what was to come. In 1997…3 years into the outpouring at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, an elder in our church and his wife began telling us of this happening. I honestly didn't really connect with any of it, as I was busy doing "the work" of the ministry. However, a new thing was being launched in Toronto called "ministry teams". Our church was growing and I thought it an interesting concept that we should look into. We flew to Toronto to observe the ministry teams, and had no clue what we were in for. Our 12 year old daughter, Alyse, had injured her knee in dance and was on crutches. She joined us for this trip. I did NOT like what I saw happening in the meetings there. People were "out of control" laughing, crying, and shouting. I thought this was totally out of order. After all, the Bible does tell us to let all things be decent and in order…..right? One night, my daughter stood on the ministry lines…..and as the ministry team prayed for her…along with a large group of South Koreans visiting the renewal…her knee was healed. I did not know what to think! Long story short…(will write a book about all this someday) I also ended up encountering God in a new and refreshing way. This was at the beginning of our journey. A journey of diving in the river of God not knowing where it would take us. Today, after so many years, we can say we have a deep love for God and heart to see revival in the land. However, recently, the Lord spoke to my heart that we are moving into a season of RELATIONAL REVIVAL. He is restoring relationships, and reviving fellowship. More on this later. My prayer is that God will bring a fresh outpouring that will restore our ability to win souls and minister through relational ministry. Come Holy Spirit, and impact our hearts for YOU and for ONE ANOTHER.

The President of the People's Republic of China was the nominal head of state of the People's Republic of China. The Premier, however, was also prominent in crucial matters of state and international relations. ("Day 4: 2:00am-3:00am")
During Day 9, Wei was the President of China, as well as a member of the Politburo committee. After the accidental sinking of the Shenyang by an American submarine, President James Heller contacted Wei to assure him that the action had not been authorized by the U.S. chain of command, but rather via Cheng Zhi's intrusion into the country's defense grid. President Wei, under pressure from his colleagues in the Politburo, mobilized Chinese air and naval forces for an attack on an American base on Okinawa; however, he agreed to recall the attack after Jack Bauer managed to produce Cheng and prove that he was in fact still alive.

Peter Hum over at Jazzblog.ca has become one of my favorite writers in the jazz blogosphere. He writes consistently thoughtful and insightful pieces on the issues we face, the music we play and the personalities that make up the jazz community. His latest post raises the question of why jazz is not appealing to a young audience and he promises that he will posit some opinions on the subject in his next piece.
On the same day, Terry Teachout at the Wall Street Journal wrote a piece called Can Jazz Be Saved?. Teachout takes a more pessimistic view than Hum when he states:
[I]t's no longer possible for head-in-the-sand types to pretend that the great American art form is economically healthy or that its future looks anything other than bleak."
Both men cite the recent NEA study on arts participation in the US, which has been making it's way around the jazz world since it was released last month. And while the numbers are indeed disconcerting, I take them with a grain of salt. I live in the jazz world in Seattle and have seen first-hand a growing number of young players and fans supporting and championing the music. I have some ideas on why this is, which I'll get into in a minute.
Before stating some of the common "cures" put forth for the jazz-youth malaise, Hum writes:
Since the NEA study was released last month, and indeed, prior to its release, there's been a fair bit of handwringing about jazz and its apparently dwindling appeal to young listeners. Some commentators have proposed solutions that are marketing moves. A few venture that some kind of esthetic capitulations changes are required to make kids dig jazz.
I am in the camp that believes that jazz doesn't necessarily need to change much esthetically to appeal to a younger audience. Sure, "fusions" have always helped bring in some younger fans, and the new breed of jazzers experimenting with hip-hop and other forms is welcome and refreshing.
But to me the crux of the problem isn't the music itself, but the perception that jazz is a music that must be enjoyed while sitting at a table sipping a glass of red wine and staring at a band on stage that has their heads buried in their music stands. How many 20- or 30-somethings do you know who want to do that? Jazz is not thought of by the general public as the vibrant, celebratory and exciting music that it is when it's at its best.
Which leads us to the inevitable art vs. entertainment argument which I've addressed previously here and here. I won't retread that ground (feel free to read my previous posts if you're interested), but Teachout alludes to it when he writes:
I suspect it means, among other things, that the average American now sees jazz as a form of high art. Nor should this come as a surprise to anyone, since most of the jazz musicians that I know feel pretty much the same way. They regard themselves as artists, not entertainers, masters of a musical language that is comparable in seriousness to classical music—and just as off-putting to pop-loving listeners who have no more use for Wynton Marsalis than they do for Felix Mendelssohn.
This is what I call the "museum-izing" of jazz. And this is where I think we can effect some change and reach out to the younger audience without changing what we do, just where we do it.
The success of bands like Medeski, Martin and Wood, The Bad Plus and EST can be traced in a large part to the fact that these groups decided to get out of the Jazz Clubs and into venues that are more conducive to a younger audience. Here in Seattle we have a new club called Lucid that is presenting a program entirely made up of jazz music, but it is a bar atmosphere instead of a club atmosphere. There is never a cover so there is always a built in audience, there is an energy in the room because people are up moving about and hanging at the bar, and it is full of 20-somethings because it is located near the University of Washington. Every time I'm there, either as a player or an audience member, I hear more than one young group remarking about how cool it is to be hearing live jazz in a setting that makes them feel comfortable. And every Thursday they host The Hang, where the house band, The Teaching, hosts a non-traditional jam session that is part jazz jam and part jam frenzy. The young folks come in droves, both musicians who want to sit in and others who just dig the energy produced.
I think we can all learn from this. We need to put ourselves in situations where young people will feel comfortable. We need to go find the younger audience and then give them something that will excite them. And we don't have to play Phish covers to do it (although that'd be cool!). We can play what we want as long as we present it in a venue and a way that is attractive to the under 40 set.
Let's bring the life back to jazz. It's up to us!

SAN FERNANDO CITY, March 20 (PIA) – Sixty-three students and 19 coaches from six state universities and colleges (SUCs) in La Union competed recently in the 2nd eGov Awards and in the first ever Inter-School Hackathon Competition as part of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Summit of this city on March 15.
Students built different systems during the e-Gov Awards which was aimed to expose their skills in developing projects and ICT tools that can improve and support public delivery of governance services.
In the hackathon, the contestants created various applications designed to solve a civic problem through the use of digital technology, specifically addressing a smart and sustainable transport system.
Three Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) campuses namely the Mid (MLUC) in San Fernando, North (NLUC) in Bacnotan and South (SLUC) in Agoo town and other colleges to include LORMA Colleges, Saint Louis College (SLC), and Union Christian College (UCC) undergone series of demo and code reviews as well as panel presentations to expert judges from the industry.
At the end of the sprint-like events, the winners are the following: For the eGov Awards, the Real Property Tax Information and Economic Enterprise Management Systems, both of SLC, won the first place and third place, respectively. DMMMSU-MLUC's SFC Alert: An Emergency Management application bagged the second spot.
In the hackathon, LORMA Colleges bagged the first place with their entry labeled as VEHI-Call, an app that can be used to identify available public vehicles for hire; followed by the e-LUGAN entry of SLC, and on the third place is the Vehicle Sharing System (VSS) of DMMMSU-MLUC.
During the summits' closing ceremony on March 16, where major ICT industry players also shared the latest trends in digital technology in a forum, all participants were given certificates of participation while medals, trophies, and cash prizes were given to the winners.
All the systems and apps were judged according to its user-friendliness, over-all quality, and innovativeness.
The summit was spearheaded by the City Government in partnership with the San Fernando ICT Council composed of different national government agencies (NGAs), private individuals, telecommunications, and computer business locators in the city. (JNPD/AHFF/PIA-1)
