Use Social Networking to find you next job and love your next gig

Your job security no longer lies in having a job; it lies in knowing how to work the job market. @susanireland
The attached file is
Using social networking to find you next job and love it
is meant to help people find their next job. This PDF is all about using Linkedin and other social networking sites to help you find your next job. The attached file is about 24 pages long and I would like to thank DR 1665, Ryan, and other people who helped me put together this report.
Finding the right job for the right person with the right needs and wants is always challenging, it is more challenging when the job market is expected to take at least a two years to recover to 2008 pre-recession levels. Some long-range projections of the job market expect the recovery to start in 2014 , well past the time that unemployment will run . For some this is a disaster, they do not have the skills, nor have they invested in updating their own skills to be viable in the job market. For others this opportunity can lead to improved work opportunities that are more in line with what they want and can be done on their own terms. For some of the intrepid a down economy and poor job market reinforces the idea to start their own company. Regardless of where someone is coming from emotionally or intellectually the any issue that delays the job search also makes the job search more challenging. This is true for people who need to work in, have the general security that a large company provides, and not take the risks that a startup or owning your own company entails .
The file is free to download and share as you see fit. It is very much so CC 2.0, share and share alike, if you would like to use this in a publication, or in any other way that makes money - contact me at rmorrill at gmail.com and we can discuss it.

My Review: If you have no clue about the current Body of Knowledge about job search, this document is a good intro, but only an intro. For those of us who have been steeped in the job search community for any period of time, it contains nothing of value to help us take our job search to the "next level".
(Personal note: if you suggest "networking", you're not helping either; we've heard all about that, too.)

Well at least your honest in your opinion. I do appreciate that, but if you have suggestions for folks - this would be a great place to share them. It is also unfortunate that you didn't use your real name - or other wise identify yourself so you could support your argument.

Ask the Headhunter
" has a lot of useful articles about job hunting and some of the silliness that happens along the way. The author is someone I've followed for years and is a bit more helpful than the document as the document is a bit more balanced for both employees and employers which isn't what I would have thought at first glance from the title.
The "it" in the title does have a couple of interpretations that I'm not sure if this was intentional or not. Is the reader supposed to love their next job or finding their next job?

JB - Well I would assume that they enjoy their job and I can change the title as well to suit and make that more clear.

Back buttons and browser caches can be useful at times for restoring things. :) The file is useful for an overview but doesn't really go deeper into things or really touch upon how long it could take to build a brand. For example, how many blog posts or comments can it take to build a brand? How many hours a day does one spend in creating their on-line image? Which sites may be better than others? For example, does a developer do better being on StackOverflow's set of sites or LinkedIn?

Thanks JB for reposting your note - sorry about wiping out your good idea along the way. Now if I can get the hostile person from this morning to repost that would be aweome - hopefully this time they will use their real name and offer constructive solutions on what other things people can do. :-)

Reposted by Dan's request, and added to for broader explanation.
My Review: If you have no clue about the current Body of Knowledge about job search, this document is a good intro, but only an intro. For those of us who have been steeped in the job search community for any period of time, it contains nothing of value to help us take our job search to the "next level". As job search is legitimately a marketing and sales activity (in that order; you have to market yourself successfully in order to get in front of a "buyer" (hiring manager) and make the sale (get the job)) "the next level" is "how to do effective marketing through social media". A step-by-step (or in IT speak, a HOWTO) for doing just that ould be immensely helpful.

@User_1778574 - so what could a person do then to raise it to the next level - what would your recommendations be for a person using Linked in and other social networking tools to help them find their next gig?
What is "the next level"?
thanks for re-posting and sorry for wiping out your earlier comment.

My suggestion would be to see if there are a few people that would be willing to share their side of using Social Networking experiences, though to some extent this is crafting a mini-biography really, so that concrete examples could be given. While I can read about a company on LinkedIn or other sites to get some details about the company at a high level, how does one go about getting to know a manager well enough to get that inside scoop on a job or have someone else refer one for a job? In a sense this is like the old networking ideas just applied to different channels,e.g. instead of playing golf with Bob from ACME you'd now play Farmville on Facebook to get to know someone, but there should be more to it than that.
I'd think the next level is a personal step-by-step outline of what to try, how to know if something worked or backfired, and move on in trying to make cyber-omelettes in a sense as there could be many eggs getting broken here.

Friends with Benefits: A Social Media Marketing Handbook
" is an article from another ITToolbox user that may also be a useful resource for some people.
At times I would like there to be someplace that could give a bit of a pulse on various social media systems,e.g. if I'm on MySpace is that just a total waste of time or is it useful for some? How about Twitter or other similar services? Part of the great challenge in this field is that things can change pretty quickly and having up to date references isn't necessarily that easy to do.
15 Best and Worst Jobs of 2010

This may not be "social networking" but here's my little secret... I google and google and google like crazy about every customer I work or will work with and hit up some interesting tit bits that really helped me out in establishing friendships to the next level. Okay, yeah, so some call that dirty. But hey, big deal. It's all out in the public anyway. I read every thread they've participated on since Usenet to Y2K to blogs - some of the senior level managers were real great developers once upon a time (how rare, but what a gem to work with!), one of them was a game developer and I started of with a "hey, did you really develop.... " voila, he simply loved me after that and before leaving his team, he offered his contact for reference without me even asking. A few months later, we met in a rest room peeing next to each other and voila, not only were our bladders perfectly synchronized but so was our rapport.
As much as I'm a techie, I feel like I'm already a generation behind... I'm not a twitter guy and prefer face-to-face contact.
If you work in a big organization like those mammoth banks with stagnant IT departments, rekindling that little tech fire in some once-upon-a-time-I-love-programming guys works wonders - it took me many days but I finally dragged a senior co-worker at my customer's place to a user group meeting and he loved me for showing him what he was missing - free software, books, famous bloggers visiting and oh, lots Pizza and soda!.
It's probably just me but I seriously try to keep my coworkers/colleagues off my facebook unless we are personally really close. For some reason I'm not comfortable sharing the many things about my personal life with employers. Linked-in is fine though since it's purely professional. I was introduced to the founder of a very small start up that had a great deal going on with Adobe wanting to buy one of their modules and services. He wanted to talk to me about joining his little company which I politely declined. But he eventually added me on Facebook and we occasionally keep our existance aware to each other. If I would ever reconsider, I can freely just send him a little note without feeling a distance.
Facebook worked great for me when I started meeting all my old school friends who are great programmers now (we started talking about those X-Tree Gold and Speed disk days!)
On the same note, here's what my HR recruiter friend once told me though - "We don't hire people who have MySpace accounts".
I hate MySpace but ouch!

USU football: 7 players named to College Sports Madness' Preseason all-Mountain West teams
ExecutorIoh West Jordan, UTJuly 8, 2013 1:11 p.m.
Preseason, all-conference teams? Until people start a came or are at a minimum still healthy at the end of fall camp, this is pure speculation. What a complete waste of time. Sounds like a sports writer was bored.

The United Kingdom's Health Protection Agency's National HIV Resistance Database shows that the percentage of HIV-positive treatment-naive adults in the country who are infected with virus resistant to at least one antiretroviral medication has increased 40% since 1996, AIDS Weekly reports. The percentage of treatment-naive patients with drug-resistant virus rose from 10% in 1996 to 14% in 2001, according to agency officials. The figures indicate that people taking antiretroviral drugs and developing resistance to them are passing along their drug-resistant strains of the virus to their sex partners or through the sharing of injection-drug paraphernalia. The database also showed that the percentage of people taking antiretroviral drugs who were resistant to medications from three drug classes rose from 1% in 1996 to 14% in 2001.
But health care experts in the country warn that the figures don't indicate that antiretroviral therapy is failing most HIV-positive people in the country. "Drug-resistance testing only tells us about the virus in patients in whom therapy is not working or in whom therapy has not yet started and is not a reflection of all patients receiving treatment," said Barry Evans of the Health Protection Agency.

CableClix Company Overview
Our goals remain as they were at our inception in 2013, to deliver quality television programming in high and ultrahigh definition, including local network content, directly to the local consumer, on nearly any device, at any time. CableClix is different from others that have attempted to deliver similar services in the past because we create partnerships with the national networks, local affiliates, and local ISP's. Commonly referred to as television rebroadcasting, the concept is often one-sided in nature and ultimately the end consumer is left to pay significant monthly subscription fees for a plethora of channels that go mostly unwatched. Concurrently, local broadcast affiliates feel the ever increasing pressure of internet-based streaming services often broadcasting the same content and diminishing the relevance of traditional TV viewing. CableClix's founders believed there was an opportunity to bridge the gap between the network and affiliate interests, and at the same time, give the consumers what they are clearly asking for: the convenience of watching their favorite shows any time, unaltered, and without a barrage of irrelevant marketing and advertisement.
Another important aspect of CableClix's approach to streaming television is our appreciation for the local ISP's, especially the Wireless ISP's (WISPs). All ISP's have experienced the pressure of needing to increase upstream bandwidth to support the growing popularity of streaming video. The cost of these increases in bandwidth are either passed on to the end customer, or in competitive markets, taken directly from the bottom line. WISPs in particular tend to serve customers in rural areas, and while are still part of a given metropolitan broad cast area, are unable to receive local broadcasts without a satellite connection due to line of sight or distance from transmitters. In nearly all of those cases, cable is not an option for those customers due to the unavailability of the required infrastructure. CableClix's founder and owner/operator of a WISP understood this problem firsthand, which triggered the desire to solve this growing TV viewing conundrum:
How can we deliver live streaming television in high definition, local and premium television to the public, especially rural customers, while simultaneously relieving bandwidth strain on ISPs, in a manner that protects and enforces the local broadcast area boundaries and respects the intellectual property of the networks and production houses?
CableClix is committed to the development and continual enhancement of products and services that deliver the programming that consumers want affordably and reliably. We achieve this using best-of-breed technologies, innovative people, and a customer-centric underpinning woven into everything we do. We respect the ownership, talent, and effort that goes into developing the news, entertainment, and other intellectual property that we stream, and always respect and enforce the boundaries of metropolitan broadcast areas. We value our partnerships with ISP's and constantly seek out new ways to optimize their network resources to ensure the best customer experience. We are excited to be a part of the transformation of traditional viewing to the next generation of customized streaming TV.

Mr. Steinke has been involved in North American capital markets since 1997. He brings his experience to CableClix and serves as Investor Communications Director and as an advisor to the Executive and to the Board of Directors, specifically with respect to finance and corporate development opportunities.
Mr. Steinke began his career in print media advertising representing dozens of publicly traded companies whose stock traded on North American exchanges such as OTCBB, TSX Venture, AMEX and NASDAQ. Media campaigns brought awareness, new investors, enhanced shareholder value and liquidity in conjunction with company's investor initiatives.
Steinke was then recruited by upstart hi-tech companies and began pairing private companies and angel investors and equity private placements with early stage public companies. Hundreds of millions of dollars in combined capitalized value were reached, several millions of additional investment capital dollars were raised in those companies, all while he maintained multi-year relationships in an employed or consultant's role and as an early equity investor himself. Investors enjoyed high gains and realized exits with sufficient liquidity in often turbulent markets.
Greg has been instrumental in guiding companies through the "going public" process both in the United States and in Canada with reverse mergers and a full IPO as mechanisms, where he introduced seed capital, brokerage sponsors and institutional investors and has been a liaise and paid consultant in this genera. He was contacted by Mark Bayliss, Co-founder of CableClix, Inc. to contemplate and participate in the company's early stage and build out, as an early entrant in the "affordable cable streaming" space. Steinke has been credited with the chosen name of the company and the discovery of the URL on the web, of CableClix.com.
The CableClix Intelligent Video Delivery and Cloud DVR solution brings all local channels (including High Definition and Ultra High 4K) as live streaming television within a given metropolitan broadcast area and up to one hundred additional satellite and premium channels to subscribers. CableClix proprietary technology first determines which channels should be present at a given location and then decides whether to feed those channels to the subscriber from the OTA broadcast (if available) or to stream the channels live from our equipment from the nearest CableClix Content and Caching Server. CableClix Intelligent Video Delivery eliminates "dark spots" and other obstacles that keep viewers from enjoying high definition over-the-air broadcasts.
How it works:
CableClix provides high capacity caching servers optimized for today's High Definition and Ultra High Definition media-rich internet experience. Built upon a high performance, late model compute and storage platform, CableClix caching servers deliver reliable caching for high definition video content including 4K. Content caching servers from CableClix enables frequently accessed, high bandwidth content to be placed closer to your customers ensuring the highest quality user experiences at any resolution.
CableClix provides a comprehensive television package with over 60 channels of high definition programming including local channels for Wireless Internet Service Provider customers. Often located in rural areas where over-the-air programming cannot be accessed, and where cable TV providers lack infrastructure, CableCLix enables WISPs with a powerful television and cloud DVR solution with revenue sharing. The CableClix solution for WISPs includes our powerful caching technology which locally stores and streams popular high-bandwidth content to the viewer from the WISP network, reducing the ever increasing need for upstream bandwidth.
The placement of CableClix content caching, distribution, and delivery platforms throughout the rural USA brings high definition video, including the newest 4K video technology, to businesses and households on the fringes of all metropolitan broadcast areas. Today there are millions of end customers that cannot receive local broadcast content due to geographic constraints and a lack of line of site to transmission infrastructure. By collocating our platforms on the wireless internet infrastructure (towers) in those regions, CableClix ensures that all customers can receive television from their metropolitan area affiliates. This drives the expansion of broadband into rural areas and empowers rural ISPs to offer an additional value-add service to their existing customer bases.

Speculating into the Mirror
One of the peculiarities of human beings that I have found in my experience is that they often expect other people to behave in the way they themselves would in a particular situation. I often get people telling me that if they were in the position I was in for 22 years they'd 'sapu' everything and really enjoy life, and can't believe that I walk around like a normal person. Likewise, people who are normally kind and generous also expect other people to be the same and are often disappointed.
So when I see people speculating about how 'the other side' will behave, to me it suggests that they expect that because that's how they themselves would behave. Dr Khir Toyo's statement is rather revealing: "There was some worry after Pakatan Rakyat won the state that the new government might remove some of the students from the list (of recipients) and the poor students would not be able to continue their studies," Now why would he think that? Unless this is what he himself would do if he took over the state after being in opposition, no?
I'm sure the Balkis ladies did work hard for their various charities so I can understand having some attachment to money they raised. However they obviously were under the impression that they would be there forever. But it's the speculation about what other people will do with it that gets me. What does it matter if it is going to go to a good cause anyway? Besides, being out of office should not stop anyone from doing good works, should it?
Maybe the way out of the impasse is to turn to BAKTI, the Association of Ministers' Wives, headed by Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah. If they now have Balkis' money, then they should return it to Selangor and simply say that they hope it will be used to continue support for the charities and the underprivileged that previously benefited from it. End of silly story.

Have a look at Wal-Mart following the Obama tax increases on January 1.
Wal-Mart shares are tanking after the company's executives called February sales a "total disaster."
Wal-Mart is facing a scary reality: the ailing finances of its core customers, Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions, told us.
"Wal-Mart shoppers are the barometer of the U.S. consumer, and these emails reflect common sense about customers," Sozzi told us. "The consumer isn't mentally or physically ready to spend on discretionary inventory and there's no reason to be optimistic."
It is all very predictable. Raise taxes and people buy less stuff. The velocity of money slows. There are fewer sales taxes collected in stores. Employees get laid off and stop paying income taxes. Laid off employees start collecting government checks. Tax revenues fall. Deficits increase.
But hey, by all means Obama. Just keep on raising taxes.

Former Ute Paul Kruger lives up to potential in teammate Ray Lewis' final home game
VegasUte Las Vegas, NVJan. 8, 2013 6:05 p.m.
Peyton, this is Paul. You best lie down now and avoid the pain!
FatMan86 West Jordan, UTJan. 8, 2013 11:29 a.m.
He is the real deal, and looked great on Sunday. All the attention was on Ray Lewis (who had a great game as well), but Kruger was a force. Win or lose, he will be all over Peyton Manning this weekend.
Qwest Perfected Salt Lake City, UTJan. 8, 2013 9:36 a.m.
I agree with the posts above. Kruger has been having a big impact all year long and has shown improvment every year in the league.
I hope he can keep it up going forward. The Kruger brothers have been great players and great people for the University of Utah. I hope both Joe and Dave can follow in Paul's footsteps and make it to the next level.
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahJan. 8, 2013 12:17 a.m.
Yeah, motorbike is right, Kruger has been solid all year. But it's also true he has been getting even better the last 6 weeks. His stats on Saturday were great. he also had some plays that weren't recorded in this article. He batted down a couple of balls and forced some hurries from Dalton were he blew up some plays in the pocket.
motorbike Cottonwood Heights, UTJan. 7, 2013 8:08 p.m.
I don't know that saying he finally showed what he can do is quite the way to put it, he leads the team in sacks this year for crying out loud.

View more of the Sun's opinion section
I am shocked at the ignorant and distasteful title of the new casino, the Cromwell.
Although the company says the establishment is named after an explorer, the name still has horrible connotations with Oliver Cromwell, who was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Irish people from 1640-1655.
Irish people, and Irish Americans, associate this name with bigotry, hate, prejudice and evil. The word carries all the horror of a terrible, dark time for a whole people.
It's like naming a casino "The Hitler." Even if it's named for a different Hitler, it doesn't make it any better. What a sad day.
I'll never go there, and I'm deeply disappointed.

From the above mangled version of Colin's original email, it is clear
that he is indeed talking about Stainsby House near Horsley, once
owned by the WILMOT-SITWELL family.
"The Derbyshire Country House", by Maxwell Craven and Michael Stanley,
Breedon Books, 1991, pp.190-2, has a substantial article on this
house, together with two pictures, dated c.1870 and c.1900. The names
given by Colin in the above refs match those in this article.
The house is in the parish of Smalley, less than half a mile to the SW
of the village. It is also about the same distance from Horsley
Woodhouse (to the NW of the house), and Horsley itself is only about
one and a half miles west of Stainsby. Heanor is also very nearby,
being just over 2 miles to the NE of Stainsby House. So all the above
locations fit.
The history of the ownership of Stainsby House as given by Craven and
Stanley, is as follows:-
- 17th century, the estate belonged to the MOOR family, which then
had only a modest house, for which George MOOR was assessed for just
three hearths for the Hearth Tax of 1670.
- In 1712, the house and estate were bought by John FLETCHER, a
wealthy coal master, who died in 1734.
- John's youngest son, another John FLETCHER, inherited Stainsby
House. He died without issue in 1766, leaving Stainsby to his sister
- Elizabeth, nee Fletcher, had married Francis BARBER of Greasley,
Nottinghamshire (1682-1762). In the 1780s, Elizabeth had parts of the
house rebuilt into a sumptuous mansion, which she bequeathed to her
son, John.
- John BARBER was by then well established at Weddington in
Warwickshire, and was not interested in Stainsby, which he sold in
1783 to Samuel BUXTON, who within two years had sold it on to Edward
Sacheverell WILMOT
- Edward Sacheverell WILMOT was grandson of Robert Wilmot of
Chaddesden, by the heiress, Joyce SACHEVERELL of Morley. Edward
already owned almost half of Morley (2 miles south of Stainsby)
through inheritance from the Sacheverells, and this estate adjoined
the Stainsby House estate at Horsley Woodhouse. He also inherited
from another kinswoman (daughter of George SITWELL of Renishaw) yet
*another* part of the former Sacheverell estate around Morley.
Because of this inheritance, he assumed her surname and arms in
addition to his own, thus becoming Edward Sacheverell WILMOT-SITWELL,
who in a very short space of time had virtually quadrupled his
estates. He too expanded Stainsby House.
- When Edward died in 1836, he was succeeded at Stainsby by his
son, Edward Degge WILMOT-SITWELL, who also added to the house.
- Robert WILMOT-SITWELL (1823-1912), nephew of Edward, did further
work on the house around the turn of the 20th century.
- After WW2, another Robert WILMOT-SITWELL, who had succeeded his
uncle in 1936, was forced to sell the house to a poultry farmer and
break up the estate into a number of small freeholdings.
- The house then became a Roman Catholic School, after which it was
left to become derelict.
- Stainsby House was finally bought by R. MORLEY, who demolished it
in 1972. Then he built a completely new Stainsby House (complete with
swimming pool) on the same site, which was sold to a Hong Kong
shipping man in 1975 for UKP 425,000.
- This new Stainsby House, at the time of writing "Derbyshire
Country House" (1991) belonged to one D.S. SANDHU. The old grounds,
remodelled in 1914, still remain around the striking new house.
Colin (and anybody else who is interested), if you contact me
directly, I am happy to arrange to send you photocopies of this
article on Stainsby House, and its pictures.
Best wishes

JORDAN, Minn. (WCCO) — People in Scott and Carver County are preparing for possible record flooding this year.
Gov. Mark Dayton and several state leaders discussed flood preparations Friday.
The National Weather Service gave a grim flood forecast saying, even if the weather remains normal for the rest of the month, which includes 15 inches of snow accumulation, the area still has a 40 percent chance of record flooding.
They want the public to know that the National Guard and the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will be here to help.
However, local leaders have to use up their resources, like generators and pumps, first before asking for help.
State leaders said this year there may be a balancing act of where to put those resources, if statewide flooding happens all at once.
Dayton said the state will be ready to respond to anyone who needs help.
"We'll be responsive to areas of the state simultaneously or we'll be responding as it becomes urgent from that area to next," Dayton said.
State leaders also recommended homeowners in the river valleys to buy flood insurance. They recommended people go to Floodsmart.gov. The site shows flood plains and has information on cost and coverage.
Flood insurance takes 30 days to take effect.

Sean Penn Son's Slur Stirs Outrage
Sean Penn's son Hopper has landed in hot water after allegedly exploding on paparazzi and using a racial slur on Tuesday.
Losing control of his temper, the 19-year-old was with his famous father in Beverly Hills when racial slurs were allegedly directed at photographers, according to Omg! Yahoo News.
Furthermore, Hopper's outburst was caught on video by TMZ.
Explicit language was followed by a physical altercation between the teen and an African American photographer, according to the celebrity gossip website.
"You ******* kidding me," Hopper is heard saying during the clip. The photographer then slams the teen for being "just a kid" when Hopper adds several curse words and offensive slurs.
Hopper got very close to the photographer's face and shoved him, but fortunately, police officers that were nearby quickly joined the scene.
According to law enforcement insiders, the photographer in questions simply chalked the incident up to a verbal argument and did not wish to press charges, according to TMZ.
Meanwhile, Hopper offered a different explanation.
"I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal - threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions," said the son of the "Mystic River" actor.
"I deeply regret my choice of words," he added.
Heated outbursts are not uncommon in the Penn family. A past incident saw Sean Penn in a violent altercation with a photographer that involved kicking, resulting in a three-year probation for the actor.
Penn, 52, shares his son as well as a daughter, Dylan, with ex-wife Robin Wright.
Many celebrities have publicly lamented paparazzi following them in public areas; however, their complaints are often met with those who feel it is the price of stardom. The topic remains widely controversial, especially in Los Angeles, where laws are in motion to protect both celebrities and paparazzi.
Earlier this month, Justin Bieber admitted his rocky relationship with paparazzi while in London.
"My relationship with the media is not always easy but I'm trying," wrote the singer on his Twitter account. "Im all about the music and the performance and I respect my fans. I never have any intent to upset or let anyone down. And Im not okay with things being exaggerated once again sorry for anyone upset."

ISO management made public its latest contract proposal late Monday night, noting in a press release that because management "simply can't wait to hear from our musicians and risk losing any more of our season," an official offer had been submitted to the union on Oct. 1 with a deadline of Oct. 6.
Key components of the proposal include a minimum base salary in the first year of $53,000, with gradual increases to $70,000 by year five, a 38 to 42 week season, an orchestra size of 74 musicians (a number allowing for the hiring of two full-time musicians ) and a defined benefit plan for current musicians with a 403(b) for new hires.
The five-year contract would allow for a one-time termination option at the close of year three, whereby either party could elect, at the end of year two, to opt out of the contract. "This allows the ISO Board and the management to make a stretch offer while not exposing the organization to excessive risk if the ISO is unable meet the new, ambitious fundraising goals," according to the release.
However, as part of the latest proposal, the ISO has offered to remove the termination clause of the contract if $5 million is raised from new sources by March 31, 2013.
Union negotiating chair Rick Graef told NUVO Tuesday at noon that the termination option was unacceptable to ISO musicians — and that, moreover, they had rejected the ISO's proposal on Monday before it had been released to the public. They rejected the proposal publicly on Tuesday afternoon via press release.
ISO spokesperson Jessica DiSanto noted Tuesday that the offer to remove the termination clause if the $5 million fundraising goal is met "was offered for the first time yesterday to try to address the musicians' concerns regarding the termination clause," thereby differentiating the latest proposal from all that preceded it. "After the offer was delivered, we moved forward with updating our community on our current offer, with the hope that it demonstrates how far we've come in a difficult negotiation process and how much we want to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the musicians rejected our offer in a short time frame."
Graef says the union and the ISO had come to terms on wages, pension, health care and benefits in mid-September in a behind-the-scenes meeting with a federal mediator. But before the contract could be signed, according to Graef, those terms were "regressively bargained away," with the addition of the termination clause and reduction of pension benefits that had been agreed upon in a preliminary sense. DiSanto countered that these claims are "simply untrue."
And so here we are, with another week of concerts canceled (that makes a month's worth, with no chance of a concert before Oct. 12), and with pianist Andre Watts signing on to perform with the ISO players, in exile, at an impromptu show at the Palladium Sunday (Oct. 7, 7 p.m., $10-35, isomusicians.com).
Watts will play Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto, with Mussorgsky's crowd favorite, Pictures at an Exhibition, also on the bill. Samuel Wong is on the podium and partial proceeds will head to the New World Youth Orchestra.

Hello my name is Joshua Thomas. I am 22 and have been writing as a hobby since I was 16 and have written many many short stories in that time. I have also written a book or two, never published because I always felt you should write a number of manuscripts before someone even attempt to do anything big with it. Right now I am working on something that I think has great potential, but only if I have the tools and the input to do it right.
I currently live in an arctic tundra that most people simply know as South Dakota. I have lived here for about a year and a half and have yet to get used to the cold, considering past states I have lived in were mainly Florida, California, and Nevada.
I have absolutely zero experience on forums, I tried to join a forum back in high school but I never fit in and everyone seemed passive aggressive to me or just plain rude. I am hoping to learn interpersonal skills on forums and also, hopefully, not only gain direction to where I want to go but also how to get there.
So anyways that should sum me up decently. I have bookmarked this page on my toolbar for further help and a reference point with certain obstacles that I may encounter.
Anyways I will look up the rules so I can be on a good foot when I post here and don't irritate any mods but I do have one question that I never understood, if I have a question do I re-post a question even if the search function brings me to a two year old question but I would like further info OR do I comment on a post that comes from years ago to hopefully get information. I have scoured the internet for answers pertaining to other things and I have seen the hostility someone gets when they put their input on an older post but then I see posts where the people are scolded for creating new posts that posts already existed for even though it did not specifically answered their question. I always personally saw it as counter-productive and never understood how people solved their problems that way.
Hopefully I get a warm welcome. I was referred here on yahoo when I was searching for a friendly group of people whose community revolved around writing. Alright any posts are greatly appreciated and thank you. Now I am officially done, I swear.

When Diaz "doesn't give a f*ck" he sure is fun to watch! Diaz's beatdown of Maynard was unexpected and immediately reestablished him as a force at 155 pounds after getting stopped by Josh Thomson in his previous pairing. Though his desire to fight for the title is understandable, it's also asinine considering he's only two-fights removed from getting tooled by then-champ Benson Henderson and Maynard was coming off a knockout loss. Rather, Diaz should set his sights on someone who is on the cusp of challenging for the belt in hopes of stealing some thunder. Think T.J. Grant, Rafael dos Anjos, or Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Every win under the UFC banner is important. However, some victories stand out more than others, especially when you're an up and coming competitor looking to make an impact in the Octagon. A number of athletes fitting that bill took to the cage on Saturday night at the Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale including Chris Holdsworth and Julianna Pena, the organization's newest TUF champions. Here's a look at some of the top performances from the show and what the efforts may mean to the futures of each involved fighter. (Photos by USA Today Sports Images)

Heard a bit about bit coins recently, from online arms and drugs markets, to some guy that sent a hard drive to the tip with £4m of bit coins. How does it all work? (Simple terms please).
Chat Forum
Bit Coins, explain please.
its an online currency.
I had established jimmy, but not much more.
you can "mine" bitcoin by doing some complex maths processing but from what I heard a while ago the power consumption required made it less cost effective that buying.
After that it's a secure and fairly (as anything is) anonymous currency that is used globally without the input of banks.
You have your secure wallet if you break that then you loose effectively.
There is a finite amount of Bitcoin available (like gold) with the last ones being probably the most costly to extract. Once it's all out then it's just there to trade.
Have a look on wired.com, they seem to be bitcoin daft at the moment.
Seems a bit too flakey to be honest, no real security around storage and way too easy to lose your "fortune" - I get a weird feeling like it's some massive con that someone is going to get extremely rich off while a load more folk get ripped off
What I do know is that when I first found out about them in 2010 they were worth about £7 each. Now they're about £500
It seems a bit bonkers.
my contractor colleague bought £30k's worth a few month back ("easy come, easy go..."). It's now worth ~£150k. He (a self-confessed geek) knows way too much about it, but it seems to be a bit of a bubble.
I'm still none the wiser.
Well, from my limited knowledge,
It's a virtual currency. Only a preset number will ever be made (mined). I don't know the exact figure, let's say 30 million. Bitcoins can be 'mined' (made) by using computer power to solve complex mathematical equations. The more that are mined - the harder the equations become, the more CPU power required to 'mine' them, hence the value goes up (I think). As well as being susceptible to price fluctuations due to market forces, like any other currency.
They can be bought and traded anonymously, and stored either online or locally in a Bitcoin 'Wallet' making them great for buying fun yet illegal things (allegedly).
Hardly a scientific answer, and maybe a bit wrong, but that's how I understand them.
It's a pyramid scheme by any other name.
Can I buy beer & an Indian takeaway with them? Or a caravan?

Can I buy beer & an Indian takeaway with them? Or a caravan?
Yes, out local cafe accepts bit coin. You can purchase anything with anything the other party will accept.
Colleague has set up a hosted mining company. Which is clever enough given he's about 12 years old, but he's doing it using hardware his brother's company makes.
Just for clarity, his brother's business has turned over $40m in less than 2 years of trading.
Tulips, maybe, but those who've got 'em have got rich. Just don;t sling out the hard drive....
Can you buy virtue with virtual money?
Mining them requires very high powered hardware, using multiple GPU's.. And yes, the power consumption outweighs the financial gain now. The trouble is, every time one is mined, it's a block added to the string, so it's growing and growing. The bubble will burst in the end, it has to.
I had a few bitcoins, purchased pretty cheap at the time *£30 a piece*, and slowly started spending them. They are now worth nearly £1,000 a coin..
Explaining them in full wouldn't be easier. The simplest way would be to think of it like this,
You have a "virtual wallet", you want to put a "coin" in your wallet. Someone will give you this coin, but it will cost you "£x", you pay you money, you get a coin. Now, you can spend this coin. There are many places to spend them.
The beauty (if you see it this way) about BitCoins, is they are pretty anonymous, you don't have to give real details to get a virtual wallet, and you can't buy them using PayPal (so no trace with that). You can do it via bank transfer, and though several websites that handle the money for you (escrow) then pass it on. You don't mention BitCoins when you buy them (all the traders I bought from asked me not to mention it, and instead claim the payment was for something else, like manuals, and crap like that).
As the Coins just go to a virtual address, and once the block has been "mined" it moves on to the next stage in the block, and to trace where the last x amount of BitCoin transfers went the Blockchain has to be taken apart again, from what I know, that is virtually impossible, and as such, no one can tell who sent who coins... You can also have them laundered...
That's as much as I know anyway.....
What you really wanted to know is whether you could make £4m worth of Bit Coins like the daft Welsh lad did, but this time not bin the hard drive.
I think it's too late, sorry.

The Jesus Lizard
With Shot, the Jesus Lizard has made quite a leap--not only jumping ship from longtime indie Touch and Go to Capitol Records, but also taking one giant step forward as a rock 'n' roll band. God knows the Lizard has always used ammo crates of rhythm and volume to propel its dementia, but on the group's eighth and best LP, the Jesus Lizard finally incorporates melodies into its twisted vignettes. What's more, vocalist David Yow drops his trademark, indecipherable snarl on several tracks and actually sings. Melding the snarl of Johnny Lydon, the morbid melodrama of Nick Cave and the goofiness of Fred Schneider, Yow commands the microphone with swagger and charisma. Maybe now he'll stop flashing his dick in concert for attention.
Historically, the Jesus Lizard has been a Southern gothic-rock band with an equal hankering for psychobilly and metal. Yow's penchant for shock-wave noise rock and grotesque lyrics was first cultivated in Scratch Acid, an Austin, Texas-based sonic-assault squad formed in 1982 by Yow and Lizard bassist David Wm. Sims. Scratch Acid specialized in cyclones of cacophonic twang punctuated with Yow's atonal yodeling. After three recordings (not counting a greatest-hits compilation that came out in 1991), the band broke up in 1986.
Two years later, Yow, Sims and ex-Cargo Cult guitarist Duane Denison loaded up a truck and moved from Texas to Chicago. They soon fell in with perennial bad-boy producer Steve Albini, who blew the dust off his drum machine and engineered the Lizard's first EP, Pure, in 1989. Both Pure and its 1990 follow-up, Head, held mostly unlistenable clatter and grind, but showed glimpses of the muscular sound that would emerge later, once the band restrained its more anarchic, industrial urges.
It wasn't until 1992's Liar, though, that the Lizard began to produce a coherent LP of channeled aggro-energy and gallows humor. Parlaying critical praise into an alterna-rock, underground cachet, the quartet hooked up with Nirvana (Kurt Cobain was a big fan) in 1993 and released the single "Puss." That cut is still widely considered the band's best song, but several tracks on Shot also make convincing arguments for themselves.
"Thumper" and "Blue Shot," for instance, are supercharged killers packed with scathing guitar and jagged-rhythm accents. Yow's vocals still bleed like raw meat, but he isn't such a distraction anymore. Big-league producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) has calmed Yow down just enough to let the singer integrate with the music, rather than ride roughshod over it.
The Jesus Lizard's rhythm section is brilliant as usual. Mac McNeill's drum work is mechanically precise and perfectly meshes with Sims' powerhouse bass. Denison, meanwhile, outdoes even his previous efforts. His occasional jazz/blues colorings are smart garnishes to the unadulterated metal blister he excels at heating up.
Lyrically, Shot is every bit as foreboding as previous Lizard albums, and Yow still suggests more than he tells. Child molestation, drug-fueled mayhem and sundry, sordid tales from the day's headlines are the grist for his creative mill. The singer is especially bleak and violent on "Thumbscrews," a sort of meaner, rougher update of the Dead Kennedys' renter-rights anthem "Let's Lynch the Landlord."
"My hands are really shaking," Yow yells over Denison's slide guitar gone psycho. "We're gonna ask the landlord/Why he's been such a cock/Then we will get the thumbscrews/And put him in his place/Leave a big fat hole/Where he used to keep his face."
Given that Yow is not actually a psychopath, one of his chief strengths as an artist is the ability to express potent but forbidden emotions in the assumed voice of a madman.
No word yet on whether Capitol Records inked a provision to the Lizard's contract that prohibits Yow from doing the "tight and shiny" onstage, but Shot clearly indicates the band hasn't sacrificed its creative vision for the major label--just focused it.

Schoolhouse Rock Rocks
The beauty of Schoolhouse Rock in its original Saturday-morning run (1973 to 1985) was that kids couldn't tell--and, frankly, didn't care--whether the catchy, three-minute animated jingles were meant to be commercials, cartoons or the edutainment they were. The result was that TV-soaked youth learned about grammar, history and math, without realizing it, between episodes of Scooby Doo and Fat Albert.
Somewhere along the line, though, the Brady Bunch generation became the alternative nation, and the innocence with which they absorbed those lessons was lost. In its place came media cynicism, sarcastic nostalgia and, now, the inevitable tribute album.
If you heard last year's Saturday Morning compilation, you already know the novelty of 1970s kid-pop done up with punk guitars and sneering vocals. What's the practical value, then, in recasting a conceptually complex song about the duodecimal system ("Little Twelvetoes") in Chavez's inscrutable noise rock? Though it's somewhat interesting to hear Pavement turn "No More Kings" into lo-fi garage rock or to listen to Moby take "Verb: That's What's Happening" into the jeweled realm of industrial techno, the performers who most successfully preserve Schoolhouse Rock's edutainment viability here are those who were the most cartoonish to begin with: Ween ("The Shot Heard 'Round the World"), Biz Markie ("The Energy Blues") and Daniel Johnston ("Unpack Your Adjectives").--Roni Sarig

Planet Dub
(Mammoth/Planet Dog)
If you're wondering why the term "dub" pops up in discussions of popular music with increasing frequency these days, blame it on another fashionable piece of crit-speak: "postrock." That's the name for the current trend of pop music drifting away from the melody-driven, verse/chorus structure of rock toward a more linear, textural form that emphasizes studio craft over live musicianship and songwriting. Thus, we have techno, ambient, jungle, hip-hop and the growing instrumental art-rock movement.
And we have dub, the grandfather of them all. Dub began in the early '70s when reggae producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry and King Tubby reworked recorded tracks by cutting vocals, dropping instruments in and out of the mix and overlaying outside sounds until they'd created a totally new composition. Instead of a final work, a recording became the raw material from which many new songs could be made.
Today, dub music flourishes both by staying close to its reggae roots and by courting new flavors from hip-hop and techno. Planet Dub, a two-disc compilation sent from England's Planet Dog label, collects the work of 16 dub masters from the UK (where the movement is currently strongest), including 100th Monkey, Children of the Bong, Eat Static, and Alpha and Omega. The tracks here run the spectrum from deep roots to highly electronic, but what stands out is the flux and flow of sound; the heavy bass and the trippy beats. Dub and its progeny aren't set to dethrone pop rock anytime soon, but dub continues to offer a new construct for popular music.--Roni Sarig

Lineswoman Sian Massey warns RVP & Fernando Torres to "be careful" [Video]
Ever since Sian Massey was unwittingly part of the affair that saw Richard Keys and Andy Gray leave Sky Sports, there has always been a fascination with the most famous lineswoman in England.
On Sunday, during Manchester United 0 – Chelsea 1, Massey once again put in an impeccable performance – she does have the knack of almost always getting the decisions correct.
It is hugely impressive that she has not been the centre of attention for making a mistake throughout her career in the top flight of English football.
During Chelsea's 1-0 win at Old Trafford we got to hear Massey's voice during a short spat between substitute Fernando Torres and Robin van Persie.
Listen to Sian Massey on the video below. Followed by a Meme that has already appeared of El Nino v RVP.

Chaz Attempts to Break Johnny Rabb's World Record for Most Drum Beats in a Minute at Ripley's Believe it or Not in San Antonio
On a recent trip to San Antonio, I was checking out 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' when I saw an old record held by Johnny Rabb for the most drum beats in a minute. Ripley's had a drum set up so that anybody could try to beat that record. So, I grabbed the sticks and gave it my best shot which I captured on my iPhone. I actually didn't do too bad.
Now, first, I got to tell you that Johnny's record of 1,071 drumbeats in a minute has since been beaten by Mike Mangini (the Dream Theater drummer I mention in the video) and more recently by Tom Grosset with 1,208.
My goal, was just to beat Johnny's record and I don't think I did a bad job by getting 949 strokes to come within 122 strokes of that record. The video you are about to watch was my 6th and final attempt. If I had tried any more times, my arms would have fallen off.
I apologize for the quality of this video. I might have had a few drinks beforehand.

text: George Bernard Shaw, in Arms and the Man, utilized a style of writing called Ruritanian Romance. Basically, this means that there is a certain amount of mystery, action, adventure, and the usual cast of ill fated lovers. Shaw doesn't stop there, though. He in fact, plays with this form, exaggerating some of the situations in the book that could have become very maudlin and instead makes the characters seem very real, even if they are in impossible situations. It is during this juxtaposition that Shaw inserts social commentary into the work, often using humor to drive it home. For example, when Bluntschli walks away from Saranoff's sword fight, Shaw is inserting the commentary that such acts of machoism are stupid. However, he does not abandon the form all together as he does have an 'all's well that ends well' type of ending.

From the blindingly fast blast beats to the perfectly shifted vocals, 'Ripped from V to A' is a punishing slab of crushing goregrind from Melbourne, the grind capital of Australia. What we have here is nine tracks plus an intro and an interlude, and with such a short playing time, there is little in the way of mucking around.
There is quite a variety of playing styles here; while the heaviness makes up a good portion of the music there is plenty else to keep things interesting. The guest guitar solo in 'Enlarged Urinary Tract Neoplasm' is not something you'd normally hear on an album like this, but it is excellent and technical, and makes the listener want him to become a full time part of the band. The rest of the album switches between lightning fast and slamming grooves. The drums are played at a ridiculous speed, and it's impressive to hear him keep that pace up throughout the whole record. The only drawback is that some people may become annoyed by the highly resonant and occasionally tinny snare, but it is not something I've found to be an issue.
Leo's heavily shifted vocals are fairly typical of the genre. As there are no lyrics and what he is saying is completely unintelligible, it's better to treat the vocals like another instrument. They do this in fairly normal fashion, providing lots of aggression and blending in with the music well. Bass guitar is a mixed bag as there are times where it sounds polished and smooth and provides a huge bottom end to the already colossal sound, and other times it just sounds like a massively downtuned guitar.
Another point to the credit of the album is that each song is unique in their structures. Some songs are far more structured around grooves, such as 'Enlarged Urinary Tract Neoplasm', while there are much faster grindy tracks focussing on speed like 'Smacked Hooker'. There is the almost punk-like 'Ape Rape', and the slamming 'Depraved Endometrum.'
The only really noteworthy flaw of this album is the inconsistency in the production. It sounds like they turned up on different days with completely different gear and didn't bother to save any of the settings. While this doesn't disrupt the flow in a serious way, there is a noticeable difference between more polished tracks like 'Spastic Colon' and something like 'Massive Warts in Pregnancy' where they sound like something different altogether, sounding more like Putrescence than Die Pigeon Die. There is also really little point to the interlude track, it doesn't do anything other than provide 30 seconds of filler.
The record only goes for 17 and a half minutes, but the musical content is more around the 13 or 14 minute mark when all the samples and noise are taken into account. This works in the albums favour though, as it is short, sweet and to the point and not overdone. 'Ripped from V to A' is a massive and noisy album that should satisfy any fan of the genre, and even those who aren't usually fans of goregrind could find something to enjoy here. I look forward to hearing more work from Die Pigeon Die in the future.
The grind scene in Australia is sometimes a mix bag. Half the bands are mediocre or even down right bad, while the other half are great. Die Pigeon Die play a heavy style of goregrind and so far they are off to a great start! Their debut album, "Ripped From V to A", is a mix of crushing slow breakdowns, fast grinding guitars, drum kit mashing, and pitch shifted vocals.
Everything is tied together song writing wise, and the album flows nicely. The music is heavy, well defined, simplistic, and yet it's catchy. Songs like "Spastic Colon", "Unexpected Episiotomy", and "Depraved Endometrium" feature plenty of catchy blasting sections, slow riffs, and pitch shifted vocals that have variety; qualities all good goregrind albums should have. In fact, "Spastic Colon" has quickly risen to be one of my favorite grind songs ever. There's even an awesome cover of Flesh Parade's "'Bout Had It".
The production is grand and helps this release too stand out. The guitars are heavy, yet clear when the blasting grind ensues. The bass is bone-jarring, and mixed into the sound well. However it's the drums that outshine everything. Every cymbal, tom and bass drum is easily heard, with the snare standing out with its distinct tin can effect. Some may not like the tin can effect, but I personally love it in grindcore.
No Escape Records have really found another great band from the inner bowels of Australia! If you like your grind to be insanely fast, with crushing slow riffs, and pitch shifted vocals, then "Ripped From V to A" is for you! Hopefully they stick with No Escape and record new material in the future.

In this edition of "Mosher's Mailbag," I answer a question about veterans with shaky job security.
Q. What veteran doesn't make the final roster?
-- Mike (@MikeLusch)
A. Good question, because several high-priced veterans on the team should be looking over their shoulders this camp.
Before I answer, let's go through some notable veterans whose jobs are potentially on the line and examine why each could get pushed out the door:
• Right guard Todd Herremans: Herremans picked up his play after a slow start last year, but he turns 32 this season (his 10th) and will make $3.2 million. Plus, the Eagles just signed backup Allen Barbre to a three-year extension.
• Outside linebacker Trent Cole: He turns 32 in October and had just eight sacks last year after going without one for the first eight weeks. The Eagles used their first-round pick on outside linebacker Marcus Smith.
• Tight end Brent Celek: He turns 29 after the season and had his role changed in Chip Kelly's offense, catching just 32 passes last year, his fewest since his second season. Kelly drafted Zach Ertz with a high second-round pick last year. Ertz caught 36 passes for 469 yards last year and is expected to have an increased role this season.
• Left cornerback Bradley Fletcher: He belonged to a pass defense that ranked as the NFL's worst last year. The Eagles signed free-agent corner Nolan Carroll to push him for the starting job.
• Outside linebacker Brandon Graham: Like Cole, Graham is more of a 4-3 D-end than 3-4 'backer. He's also in the last year of his rookie deal and stands to make $1.25 million, a high salary for a backup.
Most of these veterans are very likely headed for their final season in an Eagles uniform. It's possible that one or more won't even see this season. From here, I can narrow down the most likely guy to get his walking papers.
I can't see the Eagles getting rid of Herremans, especially with Lane Johnson suspended for the first four games of the season. Herremans, who played two years of right tackle before moving back to guard last year, could play tackle until Johnson's suspension is over.
Cole's days are numbered, but the Eagles don't seem ready to hand the starting job over to Smith, who worked mainly on the third team during spring camps. Cutting Cole would save $5 million in base salary in 2014, but $4.8 million of his pro-rated signing bonus remains on the books, so they might as well hang onto him for one more year.
Celek has turned himself into an above-average blocker and I have a hunch Kelly wants to feature more two-tight end formations with Celek and Ertz until rookie wideout Jordan Matthews is ready to see an uptick in playing time. I highly doubt the Eagles are ready to cut ties.
That leaves Graham and Fletcher, both of whom who are in jeopardy of not making the team because of salary and competition. Graham is an expensive reserve at $1.2 million and the Eagles have Smith, Bryan Braman and Travis Long looking to make the team. If Fletcher loses his job to Carroll, he's probably not going to be a backup making $3.275 million, especially if fourth-round pick Jaylen Watkins can do the job.
At this moment, Graham and Fletcher are the two veterans with the loosest grip on a roster spot. But, hey, stranger things have happened.

Causes are not something we have a shortage of in the online and offline world.
Year after year, online fundraising and initiatives to "make this world a better place†have increased. There is an estimate of 300 million people living in the United States and 1 million registered charities. A common denominator is the influx in online giving, including ease of creating micro-initiatives through virtual portals. We now have wide-open real estate for any individual to create "cause-based†efforts that live online, offline or both.
When it comes to the topic of health, diseases such as cancer, diabetes, MS and Alzheimer's are some of the many conditions with mass constituencies in this evolving landscape. Regardless of the cause in question, one thing can be agreed upon: there is more support than ever before in terms of donations and awareness, thanks to the floodgate of the Internet.
With the billions and billions of dollars raised for research, the breakthrough developments in medicine and technology and the incredible connectivity of the world at large via internet channels, you would think we are developing new treatments at a much faster pace. Unfortunately, that may not be the case.
There is a growing disconnect between the public's perception of their individual micro-actions and how that connects toward a tangible outcome: new treatments for these incurable diseases. The main reason is perhaps that ordinary well-meaning donors have not understood the true landscape of health-based causes, how the industry works and where his or her donations are spent.
On average it takes over 15 years and millions of dollars to develop a new treatment for a disease. The journey from the discovery research lab to becoming an approved prescription drug has the following four major steps:
The first step is discovery, where basic researchers explore diseases and genetic and malfunction identification. Scientists then try to identify compounds to treat the malfunction.
The second is pre-clinical development, where these compounds are tested in cell cultures and lab animals to show compound safety and their activity in the disease.
The third is human trials. For Phase I study, the first step is to determine the correct dose for humans. Once the dose is determined, a Phase II study is conducted in small groups of patients to see if the compound has the potential to become an effective treatment.
With this answer, the compound moves to the final step: Phase III study. This is where the compound is tested in a large number to prove that it is statistically better than other drugs. The data is then submitted for approval to the FDA, and the compound becomes a drug.
There are many companies in the midst of developing amazing cures. This post was spurred by learning about a small company currently developing novel new treatments for cancer. The compound is currently in Phase I and is being given to terminal cancer patients for whom all other standard treatments have failed. The compound is already showing promising results. As excited as I was to learn this, I was just as quickly suprised to learn that this potential cure may never make it to market — not without an infusion of capital to continue treating these patients. Without funds, patients benefiting from this new compound will no longer be able to get a drug that is treating their cancer. This crucial link is not funded by the charity model.
There is no shortage of positive powerful human energy working toward new breakthrough treatments for incurable diseases. We express this energy in our many actions: purchasing items with pink ribbons, walking with the name of a loved one on our back or attending a fundraising event. These micro-actions are making a difference, but only to raise awareness and to fund the first step of the drug development process.
Right now, for many biotech companies, the critical steps following awareness are in a no-man's-land for funding. If this were in the education field, it would be equivalent to funding our kindergartens and primary schools, but leaving middle schools and high schools to fend for themselves.
Can we move beyond the current monopoly of funding? Can we extend the scope and nature of our grassroots initiatives and not-for-profits? Do we have the courage and vision to create these new models?
I don't know what this new drug development paradigm will look like, however, I do believe the 21st century is reshaping the landscape of giving because of internet based connectivity. Consequent social awareness makes this new paradigm a very real possibility.

Week 4 of the NFL pre-season is supposed to be meaningless, right? Well that's not the case if you're a New York Giants fan.
Unlike most teams, who won't even suit up many of their key players, the Giants went ahead and played some of their's on Thursday night against New England, including quarterback Eli Manning.
Well, it didn't turn out so well for backup running back Andre Brown. New York's prospective goalline back and handcuff for David Wilson broke his leg during the meaningless dress rehearsal.
The break has been described as a "little crack," but it means that he'll be out for at least 4-6 weeks and probably longer.
Brown had some strong fantasy buzz thanks to his ability to punch the ball in from close. In the eight games he had carries in last season, he scored eight TDs and even had a 24-point performance against the Panthers with Wilson on the sidelines.
