Dental floss is something you should always have around — and hopefully you're using it every day to clean between your teeth. But beside the dental duty, floss is also awesome as a stand-in for all sorts of common items. From hanging photos (Boston general contractor Tom Silva of This Old House recommends it over wire because dental floss does not mar wall paint) to acting as a micro-spatula, read on to find out all the ways that floss can help you around the house.
1. Line-dry clothing: If you ever need to make a quick clothesline, super-strong floss is a great choice. Just suspend the string between two stationary objects, and voila! It's tough enough to hold wet clothes, guaranteed.
2. Replace a shoelace: In the case of a broken lace, you can use floss to fill in until you find a real replacement. Again, it's super-strong so it's up to the job.
3. Support climbing plants: Many common garden plants — like cucumbers or tomatoes or roses — often need the help of scaffolding to allow them to grow. You can create a simple trellis by tying floss in a ladder pattern. Easy peasy (and cheap, too!)
4. Remove sticky photos: Old photos are prone to adhering themselves to the album pages. To remove them without risking damage, simply slide a piece of floss between the picture and the page. It should separate with ease.
5. Remove cookies from a tray: Same concept as above. When you don't want to wait for you cookies to cool, but you're afraid your still-hot cookies might crumble, you can use the floss trick to separate them from the baking sheets, and then gently slide them onto a serving plate.
6. Hang things around the house: Take advantage of floss's inherent stretch and strength, and use it to hang up all sorts of things. You can suspend wind chimes, ornaments, pictures, and more.
7. Slice cake: If you're ever caught out — say on a picnic or at the beach — and find yourself needing to slice through cake or other soft food, but you're lacking in the knife department ... just rummage around in your bag until you come up with some dental floss! Hold it taut and use it to slice — it works wonders!
8. Make a dream catcher: This awesome art project uses different colored floss to create a lovely DIY dream catcher. It's a simple project, and great for kids too.
9. Make a hair tie: Self explanatory, but absolutely perfect in a pinch.
10. 'Lock' your luggage: You can seal up your luggage, or other personal possessions, by wrapping the zippers tightly with floss. This works wonderfully in lieu of a zip-tie.
11. Use it to sew: Fix a button, patch a hole in a bag, or any other on-the-fly job you may need to undertake. This is great to keep in mind for camping, hiking, and other outdoors activities. Floss is strong so it makes an excellent thread.
12. Quiet a dripping faucet: This little trick might mean the different between you and a good night's sleep. If your faucet is leaking and it's too late at night to call a plumber, tie a piece of floss at the spout and let it trail down into the basin. This way, the water will simply slide down the string, instead of drip-drip-dripping you awake all night. (But get it fixed or the resulting water bill may keep you up at night.)

Kyries Hebert was still en route yesterday.
The import linebacker/safety, who recently ended a holdout and renegotiated his contract, was driving from his Texas home and is expected to arrive today, Blue Bombers GM Brendan Taman said.
"I told him there's no rush because we don't practise until (tomorrow) anyway," said Taman, who has provided customs officials with all the information necessary to facilitate Hebert's border crossing.
Because Hebert was involved in some legal problems in the U.S., there is still uncertainty whether he will be allowed to enter the country.
"Until he gets here, I don't presume anything," Taman said. "My first goal is to get him into the country, then it's for him to pass his physical. Then we can get him on the practice field, then into the lineup. He hasn't been in a camp but I'm sure he's in good shape. But we're functioning fairly well defensively anyway."
If and when Hebert starts, he would have to replace an import, which could mean shuffling a non-import to a different position.

Sun sports editor Ted Wyman and football writer Kirk Penton tackle the hottest topics in sports in the latest instalment of the Five Minute Major. You can read some excerpts here and listen to the entire debate online by going to winnipegsun.com and clicking on Sun Speaks.
On the Bombers offensive troubles so far
WYMAN: Kirk. you were in Hamilton last week and saw what was a bit of a debacle offensively for the Bombers. Stefan LeFors did not have a good day at quarterback, he has not particularly had a good game yet and there are some people already, just some whispers, calling for his head.
PENTON: Whispers?
WYMAN: Maybe louder than that?
PENTON: Well, there's always people out there who like the backup quarterback the best. It is only Week 3 so you've got to give him a little more time, but some of the things that are going on are very alarming, like not being able to complete more than 50% of his passes (44%). Some of the things he was throwing in Hamilton were just horrendous. You know wobbly things that I might throw.
WYMAN: Or T.J. Rubley.
PENTON: But the thing is he has done it in the past. His first five starts in Edmonton two years ago, he completed something like 75% of his passes, so maybe Mike Kelly is right when he says it's his offence.
WYMAN: Well he has 429 yards passing in three games. That's half of what Anthony Calvillo has, it's half of what Kerry Joseph has. That's a good day for Calvillo really. That's not what you have for three games and the problem is he just doesn't look like he has a ton of zip on the ball.
PENTON: He doesn't have a good arm. He said that and everybody knew that coming in. They just need to figure out a way to make it work.
WYMAN: He's supposed to make that up with his mobility which hasn't been that great yet either.
PENTON: No, he's running for his life many times.
WYMAN: We could also point back to some past problems with the administration blowing up the offensive line from last year and going with a fairly untested one this year. Maybe they are paying a bit for that.
PENTON: So how long do you go with him?
WYMAN: No more than another half as far as I'm concerned until you replace him in the next game. If he doesn't have a good first half in the next game you've got to bring the other guy in and give him a chance to win the game for you. Absolutely, you can't wait on this guy. We remember Jim Daley who said "Changing the quarterback does absolutely nothing to help the offence" and that was when Tee Martin was starting at quarterback. Everybody in the CFL knows that if it's not working, you always try something else.
PENTON: That's true, but what's behind him? They all have the same amount of experience behind him and it's nothing special.
WYMAN: That's why we'll go back a couple of Five Minute Majors to me saying they should have kept Ryan Dinwiddie. I also thought they should have kept Kevin Glenn around here and not just dumped him for this other guy.
PENTON: There's the $64,000 question.
WYMAN: Hamilton needed to replace their quarterback because he was ineffective, even though Quinton Porter had twice as many yards as Stefan LeFors. They put in the backup quarterback, who led them to victory and that was Kevin Glenn.
PENTON: The Bombers couldn't have kept Kevin Glenn. I think we both agree that was the right move.
WYMAN: Do you mean they couldn't have kept him if they hadn't traded for Stefan LeFors? If, at the end of last season, they decided Kevin Glenn was still their quarterback? They couldn't keep him as the backup and that's probably the same reason Casey Printers isn't here, or maybe he's just terrible, but they didn't want to bring in a high-priced backup quarterback.
PENTON: Casey Printers thinks he's God's gift to football, that's why he's not here.
WYMAN: I don't see the three quarterbacks that are here right now being the same three at the end of the season if things keep going the way they are much longer.
On Tom Watson's performance at the British Open
WYMAN: What a heartbreaker. Incredible performance by Watson and proof that you do not have to be the longest ball hitter to win a tournament when it's a course like that. You have to manage your ball well and I thought that was the greatest thing to watch. To see the golf tournament leader managing the ball, staying out of the bunkers, staying in play and that means everything. It's not all about the equipment and the Happy Gilmore swing.
PENTON: The biggest thing is he is 59 years old. That would have been the biggest sports story of the year.
WYMAN: He's 14 years older than anyone else who has ever won a major and he was eight feet away from winning it. Unfortunately he hit that last putt like I would have.
PENTON: Watching him hit that putt on the 18th hole was just painful.
WYMAN: It was a great story and I don't know if we'll ever see it again. Even he's going to be too old to play in the tournament soon. It was just something so unusual. We just didn't expect it and it brings some faith back to sports fans.

As the largest city in Kentucky and one of the largest cities in the United States, Louisville Kentucky has an estimated population of approximately 722,000 residents. Outside of the city, the metropolitan area has over 1.2 million citizens. Louisville KY is located in Jefferson County and has several towns nearby including Flaherty, Crestwood, Scottsburgh, Paris, Palmyra, Austin, J-town, Oldham County, Valley Station, Shepherdsville, Milton, Corydon, and Carrollton.
A proper inspection is perhaps one of the most important aspects of successfully purchasing a used car from a private seller in the Louisville Kentucky. While the best option is to have the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic, there are a few things that you can take a look at to determine whether or not you would like to continue inspecting a vehicle. Here are a few key components that many mechanics investigate when inspecting a vehicle. This list is not a complete list, but should be used as a guide to choosing a good cheap running car from the Louisville Kentucky craigslist cars website.
The first item that you will want to inspect is the engine and transmission of the vehicle. Check around the engine compartment for evidence of oil and other leaks. An oil leak is not only messy but can cause other problems further down the road depending on where it is leaking from. For instance, if the rear main engine seal is leaking then this requires that the transmission is removed in order to repair. Repairs such as this one can be quite costly. Inspect all the vehicles fluids from oil to transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and any other fluid that the vehicle may have. Familiarize yourself with what the fluid should look like before inspecting the vehicle. Start the engine and listen for any abnormal engine noises such as ticking or knocking. A very slight tic is normal if the vehicle is fuel injected. Be sure to know the difference between the sound of a valve tick and a fuel injector. Take the vehicle for a test drive and ensure that it shifts smoothly through each gear.
Once the vehicle has passed the engine and transmission test, you should thoroughly inspect the body for any visible signs of collision damage. A vehicle that has been previously involved in a collision could have drivability problems. Performing a vehicle history report is always a good idea when it comes to buying a used car from a private seller. The vehicle history report can reveal many problems that would otherwise not be known. A report only cost a few dollars and can save you thousands of dollars in future problems.
Whether you are buying a car from the Louisville KY craigslist cars website or the El Paso Texas craigslist cars site, finding a great deal starts by knowing how to properly inspect a vehicle. It is always recommended that you have any vehicle inspected by professional for making a purchasing decision. An inspection is necessary when it comes to buying a used car from an individual.

|January 9, 2009
More than half a million Americans lost their jobs in December, making 2008 one of the worst years for job losses.
The Department of Labor announced today that employers cut 524,000 jobs last month — the 12th consecutive month of job losses, with almost 2 million jobs lost in the last four months of 2008 and a total of 2.6 million jobs lost for all of 2008 — the highest total job-loss for a calendar year period since 1945, the year World War II ended.
The nation's unemployment rate jumped from 6.8 to 7.2 percent — a 16-year high. The unemployment rate for teenagers went to 20.8 percent. Women had the lowest unemployment rate, at 5.9 percent.
Among those still employed, more than 8 million people were underemployed, working less than full-time for economic reasons — the highest ever on records that date back to 1955 — raising the so-called underemployment rate to a record 13.5 percent.
Job cuts were widespread across most industry sectors. Manufacturing lost a whopping 149,000 jobs, the leisure and hospitality industries jobs declined by 22,000, construction cut another 101,000 jobs, retailers slashed another 66,600 workers, professional and business services lost 113,000 jobs, transportation and warehousing declined by 24,000, and financial services jobs fell by 14,000.
On the plus side, healthcare jobs continued to grow, with 32,000 new jobs — bringing the total to 372,000 new jobs added in healthcare in 2008. And another 7,000 new government jobs were created.
We have to hope that 2009 will be better — not right away as job losses are expected for at least the first half of the year as companies continue to announce cutbacks and layoffs — and that the government's actions will improve private-sector employment.

I don't check this very often, but the other day I noticed that the Trusted Zone Security, which I usually have set at medium (to share a printer and other resources over a home network) was turned OFF.
I can't for the life of me imagine ever turning this off myself.
Are these configurations sometimes known to change without
user intervention?
And it occurred to me that it would be a good thing if I was notified when a change like this took place.
Any thoughts, please?

This was one of the tea bags that came in our goodie bags from the NYC Coffee & Tea festival. I'm a bit meh when it comes to most pu-erhs… I don't hate them, but I also don't tend to enjoy them a ton either. I'm really not sure what made me decided to brew this one up this afternoon, and I almost regretted it for a bit when I was thinking if I wouldn't be better off with a tea I loved after this morning's disappointment, but in the end I'm happy enough with it.
The tea bag smelled straight up like hay and wood shavings. I'm sure the paper bag isn't helping. Steeped, it has those same woody notes but overlain with a sweet magnolia aroma. It's definitely a woody, oaky kind of puerh, reminding me more of the base notes to ATR's Toasted Fig than some of the other puerhs I've tried. The magnolia lends a sweet, lightly floral note to the mix that's rather pleasant but not perfumy or anything. Definitely better than I was expecting, but I can't say I'll be using the coupon on the back of the card.

Garry Peters got some big news a few days ago. This rising senior from Conyers (Ga.) Heritage High School, plays on both sides of the ball at quarterback and in the secondary. Just about every school out there is recruiting him as a cornerback. But he just received his first offer from one Big East school that likes him as a quarterback.
"South Florida has offered me as a quarterback," Peters said. "I have been speaking with them a lot and then send lots of mail. They are the first team to recruit me as QB. That feels good. Everyone thinks I am not good enough to play quarterback in college. I am glad that there is someone out there believes in me as a QB. I don't know too much about them but they tell me they are near some beaches and they have some great scenery."
Another school that has offered Peters recently is Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are another team that Peters needs to do some research on.
Article Continues Below
"That was a surprise offer to me simply because I have not spoken with them at all. I mean not once. So I wasn't expecting that. But they sent it and they want me to play cornerback. I don't know much about them but they do play in the SEC and that's where it's at."
Speaking of the SEC West, Peters will make his first trip to Tuscaloosa this weekend to check out the Alabama. He's very excited about this visit.
"It's my first time going and I hope there's alot of people there. I hope to meet the coaches and players and check out their defensive backs. I mean I will really watch them and how they go after the wide receivers. I like coach (Nick) Saban. He seems like one of the few coaches that is very genuine with me about my future and what position (cornerback) I should be playing there. That feels good to hear that from him."
At this time Peters says he's open but that should change very soon.
"I have seen Georgia, Florida, Clemson and South Carolina. I will go check out Tennessee and Auburn for sure. There may be some others schools as well. Right now I am still wide open but I know I need to narrow things down. I would like to make a commitment by the end of the summer."

SAN DIEGO -- A judge is set to rule next month on whether to sentence Richard Tuite, the drifter convicted of killing Stephanie Crowe, to 13 years in prison or give him a new trial.
Meanwhile, an attorney representing Tuite filed a motion Thursday containing allegations that unauthorized charts in the jury's deliberation room may have been put there intentionally by prosecutors.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Gary Schons, one of the prosecutors in the case, said in an interview that he questioned if there was any evidence to make such a suggestion.
One of Tuite's attorneys, Brad Patton, said in an interview Thursday there was no direct evidence as to how the unapproved items showed up in the jury room. He also said it's possible the bailiff or someone else may placed them there.
Tuite, 35, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in May for slaying the 12-year-old Escondido girl, who was found in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor on Jan. 21, 1998.
He was slated to be sentenced Thursday, but Superior Court Judge Frederic Link agreed to slide the sentencing back until Aug. 25.
At that time, Link will rule on the question of whether Tuite will get a new trial, which Tuite's attorneys have asked for.
Since Tuite's conviction, lawyers from both sides have disclosed that two unauthorized items -- one a chart created by the defense, the other a chart created by prosecutors -- ended up in the hands of the jury during their deliberations.
One of the jurors has said that the information he gleaned from one of the charts convinced him to vote to convict Tuite.
Neither chart was officially submitted into evidence, and the question of how the charts ended up in the deliberation room has not yet been settled.
Patton's motion includes a partial transcript of an interview with the court clerk, in which she denies putting the unapproved items in the jury room.
Schons, a member of the prosecution team, said Thursday that he hadn't read Patton's motion yet and could not comment on it.
He did say, though, he believes that whoever picked up the charts scooped them up and placed them in the jury's room at the same time. Schons also questioned why defense lawyers -- who have said they knew during jury deliberations that their chart was missing -- didn't bring the matter to the judge's attention.
News that the unauthorized defense chart had been found in the jury room came out only moments after the verdict. The discovery that the prosecution's unauthorized chart had also been in the room was made about three weeks ago.
The defense chart in question focused on trace evidence, including hairs found in the Crowe home; the prosecution chart was a timeline of events surrounding Stephanie's stabbing and slashing death.
Patton has asked for a new trial for Tuite, in part citing the jury's reliance on the unauthorized defense chart.
The day of Tuite's conviction, juror Orlando J. Dona, said he had been one of two holdouts on the jury -- until he discovered the chart in the room on the seventh of the eight days of deliberation. The chart made him change his mind and vote to convict Tuite, he said.
Patton opens his newest motion stating that he finds it "hard to fathom" that prosecutors could argue the presence of the defense's chart didn't affect the verdict.
Prosecutors argue that there is no basis for a new trial, in part because the chart was created by the defense and was shown to the jury by defense attorneys both at trial and in closing arguments.
"We are asserting it was the functional equivalent of evidence," Schons said of the defense chart, because the defense presented it to the jury.
That chart stated that hair found in the Crowe home could not definitively be linked to Tuite, but could have belonged to a number of people, including Tuite or Stephanie's brother Michael Crowe.
Michael, 14 at the time of Stephanie's slaying, was initially charged with the crime. Charges were dropped a year later, after Stephanie's blood was found on Tuite's clothing. During Tuite's trial, defense attorneys said the specks of blood found were the result of police contamination, and they pointed to Michael and his two freshman buddies as the real killers.
As for the prosecution timeline, Schons said Thursday that jurors said they didn't use it in their deliberations.
After Thursday's quick hearing, Stephanie's mother, Cheryl Crowe, said none of the latest developments in the controversial case surprises her.
"It's just been six years of a roller coaster," she said. "I guess if it's going to be weird, it's going to be weird."

Although it's far too early to declare a trend, there's evidence that robust growth is finally headed for the vital small-business sector of the economy.
Nationwide, employment in March remained at a post-recession peak set in February for the sector, according to the Paychex IHS Small Business Jobs Index, which has increased steadily since October. The index measures an overall count of workers, compared to a year earlier, using the Paychex database of about 350,000 U.S. companies with fewer than 50 employees.
The March figure was 101.15, up 0.33 percent from the same month in 2013. San Diego was up 0.35 percent, while California increased 0.70 percent.
Such figures aren't blowing the doors off by any means, yet they point to sustained growth and optimism in the sector for the first time since early 2012.
More columns about Business by Dan McSwain
In addition, a handful of surveys suggest that more owners see enough new business to justify adding positions. In the latest, from PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., released Thursday, 22 percent said they plan to add full-time workers, a 6 percentage point increase from last spring and the most since 2012.
A few caveats, however: The Paychex IHS index is brand new, launched just this Tuesday. Given its large database, it may prove to be a reliable indicator, but the jury will be out for some time.
Meanwhile, the opposite trend was reported by competing payroll company ADP, which said small businesses added jobs in March, but at a lower pace than in November. And software firm Intuit put March growth at just 0.01 percent, and flat in February.
Such contradictions are typical in periods of sluggish economic growth. There's also a measurement problem: Just about every large bank or service provider conducts a small-business survey of some kind, complete with shifting definitions of a small or mid-sized business.
On the other hand, there is a fundamental case for optimism from an unlikely source: The Federal Reserve's "tapering" moves, which have rattled equity and bond markets, could in fact already be unleashing healthy forces for consumers and small businesses. That's according to a fascinating analysis by veteran economist David Malpass.
In this view, the Fed's historic campaign to stimulate the economy with lower interest rates, partly through massive bond purchases, has instead starved credit for owners of small businesses -- and their customers.
That's because in making the bond purchases, the Fed effectively borrowed $2.6 trillion from the U.S. banking system.
Instead of printing money, the Fed has been locking it away from everybody except big banks, governments and the most creditworthy corporations (which enjoyed record low rates on their bond issuances).
"In the five years through 2013, credit to the government grew $6.1 trillion in nominal terms, but private credit grew only $1.2 trillion," Malpass wrote in a March 13 essay in the Wall Street Journal.
"Credit to corporations (e.g., corporate bonds) increased by $1.9 trillion, forcing an outright shrinkage in credit to non-corporate businesses and households. Loans outstanding to these smaller borrowers fell by $660 billion during the five-year period, a devastating blow to small business investment, while loans surged to the government and corporations, the chosen beneficiaries of Fed policy."
But in January and February, under Chairwoman Janet Yellen (Bernanke's successor) the Fed trimmed its bond purchases by $30 billion. Even as extreme winter weather discouraged spending, bank lending jumped by $36 billion above the 2013 level over the two months, rising at an annual rate of 21 percent.
More help is on the way: The Fed said it will reduce purchases to $55 billion in April from the December peak of $85 billion.
In yet another tea leaf, the Comptroller of the Currency reported that banks eased lending standards for both commercial and retail borrowers in the year ending June 30, 2013.
So all that liquidity sitting in money-center banks was poised to enter the economy. And such easing came as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told markets in May to brace for an end to bond purchases.
Of course, access to credit means nothing for a small business that lacks new orders from customers. We won't see a real recovery until demand increases, probably when housing construction reclaims its traditional place alongside manufacturing and health care as an engine of higher-paying jobs.
And owners face rising health insurance costs, higher taxes, new regulations and other government-created headwinds.
Still, it's good to know the stage is being set for tangible credit growth, providing lubrication for the small-business economic engine. Extreme Fed intervention is on track to end in 2015, forcing banks to look to job-creating loans instead of leaning on central bank subsidies.
Small businesses are more than capable of producing jobs and innovation. They just need governments and the nation's central bank to stopping helping them so much.

Make this at least 1 day in advance because you need to chill and rest the dough for a minimum 4 hours or up to 2 days, before rolling and baking
2-1/2 sticks (10 ounces; 285 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups (150 grams) icing sugar, sifted
1/2 cup (lightly packed) (3-1/4 ounces; 100 grams) finely ground almond powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean pulp or pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
3-1/2 cups (490 grams) all-purpose flour
To make the dough in a mixer:
1. Place the butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until creamy. Add the sugar, almond powder, salt, vanilla and eggs and, still working on low speed, beat to blend the ingredients, scraping down the paddle and the sides of the bowl as needed. The dough may look curdled – that's alright. With the machine on low, add the flour in three or four additions and mix only until the mixture comes together to form a soft, moist dough – a matter of seconds. Don't overdo it.
2. Gather the dough into a ball and divide it into 3 or 4 pieces: 3 pieces for 10-inch (26cm) tarts, 4 for 9-inch (24cm) tarts. Gently press each piece into a disk and wrap each disk in plastic. Allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or for up to 2 days, before rolling and baking. (The dough can be wrapped airtight and frozen for up to a month.)
To roll and bake:
1. For each tart, place a buttered tart ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet and keep close at hand. Work with one piece of dough at a time; keep the remaining dough in the refrigerator.
2. Working on a lightly floured surface (marble is ideal), roll the dough to a thickness of between 1/16 and 1/8 inch (2 and 4 mm), lifting the dough often and making certain that the work surface and dough are amply floured at all times.
Roll the dough up around your rolling pin and unroll it onto the tart ring. Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the ring, then run your rolling pin across the top of the ring to cut off the excess. If the dough cracks or splits as you work, don't worry – patch the cracks with scraps (moisten the edges with water to "glue" them in place) and just make certain not to stretch the dough that's in the pan.
(If you plan to use the crusts baked and filled with fresh fruit or cream, continue with the next steps)
Prick the dough all over with the tines of a fork and chill it for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. When you are ready to bake the crust(s), preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fit a circle of parchment or foil into the crust and fill with dried beans or rice.
4. Bake the crust for 18 to 20 minutes, just until it is very lightly colored. If the crust needs to be fully baked, remove the parchment and beans and bake the crust for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the crust to a rack to cool.
Keeping: The dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or wrapped airtight and frozen for a month. Frozen disks of dough take about 45 minutes to an hour at average room temperature to reach a good rolling-out consistency. Baked crusts can be kept uncovered at room temperature for about 8 hours.

I just wanted to thank you for running my story ("Name Decisions," The Working Actor, Sept. 16-22). I got a great response from my friends and family.
I've committed to a brand-new name. I went to SAG on Friday to make it official. It's Satu Makeda—easier to say, and memorable. I followed your advice, and the general consensus was to change the last name. I tested it out at Actorfest NY this weekend with about five casting directors, and so far so good. I think it was the right choice, and I'm sticking with it, for good. Thanks for all the help.
—Satu Makeda (formerly
Rautaharju) via email
I am so glad we could be of help. Back Stage readers were in agreement that you should keep your original, lovely first name and change your last name to something that wouldn't type you as a particular ethnicity. Your new name is definitely ethnic, but totally nonspecific. It's a great choice and I hope it serves you well.
I'm a nonunion actor who has lived in New York for two years. It's been hard trying to get work by myself, and I do feel I should get an agent. I go to networking parties and try to network with other actors and industry people, but I'm not sure how to act, what to say, or how to get noticed there. I have a hard time going up to people. I know I need to market myself, but how exactly can I do that? Is there anything I can do to stand out?
via email
Marketing and self-promotion are important parts of an actor's business, but they need to align with your career. You may not be at a point where an industry party—no matter how self-assured you are—is going to do you much good. More than that, networking needs to be as organic as possible; it needs to make sense. No one is going to spend much time with a stranger at a party, no matter how noticeable or interesting that stranger may be, because they're all too busy networking for themselves. You wrote that you feel like you need an agent, and that's probably true, but it's unlikely you'll make that kind of connection at a networking party.
Instead of trying to figure out how to navigate social events, put your mind on your work. Happily, networking (in the best sense of the word) has everything to do with working and living a real life and almost nothing to do with parties. You should be working with a theater company, auditioning for every role you can get without representation (through BackStage.com, ActorsAccess.com, NYCasting.com, etc.), and taking a great scene-study class, as well as other classes—such as improv, commercials, and cold reading—as you can afford them. By devoting so much time to auditions, classes, and theater work, you're bound to meet great actors and directors. Some of them will have tips for you, introduce you to others in the industry, and even invite you to—you guessed it—parties. This is actual networking: meeting people through work and mutual connections.
Right now it might seem as if you don't know anyone who can help you get a leg up in this industry, but as long as you keep working, you'll find your network of friends and colleagues growing and growing. Those are the people who will actually help you—and you them. It's not a matter of getting in with a group of successful people; it's a matter of getting to know your colleagues, all of whom are aiming for success.
Forget pitching yourself to strangers over drinks. Focus on the nuts and bolts of your career, and someday you'll be at a fancy party and realize you're networking casually, alongside your friends.
I'm a beginning actor and subscribe to Back Stage to see audition possibilities. I'm finding that almost all of them are not open auditions; they want a résumé and photos and will select from there. I was under the impression that many opportunities come from open casting calls, where anyone who wants to can try out for a part. Then people like me, with talent but little experience, have a shot. Are there more open casting calls and I'm just not seeing them on your site? Could you direct me
to where I can find them in
the L.A. area?
via BackStage.com
As you have discovered, the vast majority of casting notices request submissions, followed by certain actors being chosen to audition. However, open calls are still used in smaller markets, for background casting, and for some theater projects—most notably in the form of Equity principal auditions (known as EPAs). Actors' Equity Association, the stage actors' union, requires that producers operating under a union contract see a certain number of Equity actors in an open format. Even nonunion actors can sometimes be seen at EPAs. (Go to ActorsEquity.org and click on "FAQ" for more info.)
Open calls have also emerged as a promotional tool more than a casting tool; some TV shows and advertisers use them to excite viewers, buyers, and fans. "Glee" has been doing a video open call via its MySpace page (MySpace.com/gleeauditions), and from the looks of it, the casting directors (or interns) have a lot of videos to sift through. I couldn't find the total number of videos submitted, but the page boasts 1,119,001 friends. A message at the top says: "Thanks for sending in your auditions! All the submissions are being reviewed and you'll be notified by the 'Glee' team if you're selected to move forward in the casting process." A little farther down, someone has posted the question, "Are they even checking this anymore?" Serious actors could be forgiven for seeing this as a publicity stunt rather than an
audition. You might also find open calls for programs like "America's Got Talent," game shows, and reality TV, but not likely for acting work.
Does this mean a beginner such as yourself should abandon all hope? Of course not. Everyone's new at some point. If you take the advice I gave to actor4ever above and get into class and a theater company, you'll be on your way. A great headshot is just a few hundred bucks away, and all résumés begin with just one credit. Embrace your status as a new actor and put your attention on learning all you can about the craft and the business. Your subscription to Back Stage will come in handy for that.

The United States Senate will soon render its advice and consent to the nomination of Steven Chu as the new secretary of the Department of Energy (DOE).
In addition to overseeing the agency's duties conducting energy research and dealing with nuclear waste issues, a good secretary of energy also needs to stand as a secretary for energy--in favor of plentiful and affordable energy supplies for the American people and a supporter of the free market processes that work best to provide them. The federal government already has several anti-energy forces in place, particularly the Environmental Protection Agency, whose statutory duties require it to impose environmental constraints on energy production and use, especially fossil fuels, and often without regard to cost. Therefore, it is an important part of the secretary of energy's job to act as a pro-energy counterweight to EPA rather than as a redundant anti-energy voice within the executive branch.
Therefore, when considering Chu for this post, the Senate should consider asking him the following questions.
Question #1: Gasoline Prices
Last September you made the statement that "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," which at the time exceeded $8.00 a gallon. As secretary of energy, will you speak for or against any measures that would raise the price of gasoline?
Answer: Clearly, the American people want energy that is more affordable, not less. High gasoline prices hurt everyone, especially those with low incomes, and weaken the overall economy.[1] It is the role of the secretary of energy to work for the benefit of the American people by advocating policies that keep energy as inexpensive as possible. To do otherwise would be fundamentally at odds with the very purpose of the Department of Energy.
Question #2: Coal-Fired Electricity
You have also stated that American electricity prices are "anomalously low" and that "coal is my worst nightmare," largely due to its contribution to global warming. As secretary of energy, will you support coal-fired electric generation in order to provide affordable electricity for the American people?
Answer: Coal is the one energy source America has in overwhelming abundance, and it currently provides 50 percent of America's electricity. Without it, electric bills would be much higher. The DOE will continue to conduct research into alternatives to coal as well as means to reduce its environmental impact. But major breakthroughs are a long way off from viability, and it is important for the DOE not to over-promise on them. Premature efforts to shift away from conventional coal use would do great harm to the American economy. Being anti-coal is precisely the kind of misguided approach a secretary of energy should be fighting against.
Your statements in support of both higher gasoline and electricity prices are evidence of a belief that the American people would be better off if energy (and especially fossil fuels) was deliberately made so expensive that individuals and businesses were forced to use less of it. This anti-energy, anti-consumer, and anti-economy view is popular enough among environmental activists inside and outside the federal government, but it has no place at the Department of Energy, where energy affordability should not take a back seat to an environmental agenda.
Question #3: Alternative Energy
Are you going to take a realistic approach toward alternative energy sources, with particular regard to the continued need for conventional energy supplies until such time as alternatives are ready to replace them?
Answer: DOE needs to be realistic about its research into energy alternatives, especially about the timeframes it will take for truly viable--both technologically and economically--alternatives to emerge. The process will likely take decades, not years. Furthermore, the role of the Department of Energy in trying to accelerate the process by picking winners and losers among emerging alternatives is one with a disappointing track record.[2] A realistic approach toward alternatives leads to the conclusion that the age of fossil fuels--petroleum for transportation and coal for electric generation--is not yet over, so the secretary of energy should support efforts to ensure that those time-tested energy sources are as plentiful and affordable as possible until such time as alternatives are genuinely ready to carry the load. To endorse shutting the door on conventional energy based on the wishful thinking that replacements are just around the corner would make for a very regrettable energy policy.
Question #4: EPA Regulation of Carbon Dioxide
Last July, the Department of Energy spoke out against the EPA's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act (CAA). As secretary of energy, will you continue to be a voice of economic reason and energy policy rationality on this and other problematic global warming measures?
Answer: The DOE detailed its significant concerns with the ANPR, stating that the EPA's proposal "lacks the comprehensive and balanced discussion of the impacts, costs, and possible lack of effectiveness" were fossil energy use to be regulated in this manner. Beyond the merits of DOE's comments, the very fact that the agency weighed in so strongly against the EPA and its ill-advised proposal demonstrates an important role the secretary of energy needs to continue playing in the global warming debate.
Question #5: Nuclear Energy
You have publicly recognized the critical role of nuclear energy in meeting our nation's growing energy demand. You have also suggested that with nuclear fuel recycling a permanent geologic repository at Yucca Mountain is not essential.[3] What is your position on the scientific viability of Yucca Mountain, and do you support allowing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to complete its review of the Department of Energy's permit application for Yucca Mountain?
Answer: While recycling used nuclear fuel will likely be a critical element to any comprehensive used nuclear fuel management strategy, it is unclear that such processes will alleviate the need for some permanent geologic storage. This is especially true for America's defense-related nuclear waste, which requires permanent geologic storage.
Although President-elect Obama and others have voiced opposition to Yucca based on concerns over safety, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, whose job it is to make such determinations, is currently reviewing the Department of Energy's application to build Yucca. It should be allowed to carry out its mission.[4]
Outside of defense-related activities, one of the primary jobs of the DOE is to dispose of the nation's commercial nuclear waste. The problem is that the DOE has an abysmal record in carrying out this mission. While America's energy consumers have paid the U.S. government roughly $28 billion (payments and interest) to dispose of nuclear waste, the U.S. government has collected no waste from utilities. In addition to that, there is no consensus on how to move forward.
This is in direct contrast to nuclear fuel-related activities and power plant operations. Both of these functions are privatized and operate safe and efficiently. Only so-called back-end activities (or those related to waste management) fall under the purview of the federal government, and only they remain dysfunctional. That is why it is essential to begin the process of moving responsibility of waste management to those that produce the waste.[5]
A Secretary for Energy
Even when DOE does not have regulatory authority, it can be a powerful pro-energy voice that needs to be heard. It is crucial for the secretary of energy to remain a secretary for energy as a number of energy policy initiatives, global warming-related and others, are considered in the years ahead. Beyond its role conducting research and dealing with nuclear waste issues, this pro-energy advocacy role may be the most important one that the secretary of energy oversees.

LOUDON, NH - Kyle Busch became just the third driver to win 100 NASCAR races by taking Saturday's New England 200 Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Busch grabbed the lead from series regular Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with 33 laps remaining and then held off Stenhouse and fellow Sprint Cup Series competitor Kevin Harvick in three late-race restarts, including one for a green-white- checkered finish.
After a restart on lap 197, a seven-car crash occurred on the backstretch. Steve Wallace and Brian Scott got turned around, which triggered the incident and set up the two-lap overtime finish. Wallace had also been involved in two previous accidents.
Busch held off Harvick at the finish by 0.3 seconds to join Richard Petty and David Pearson as the only drivers with 100 or more wins in NASCAR.
All of Petty's record 200 wins came in NASCAR's premier series. Pearson has 106 victories, with one of them coming in a Nationwide race in 1982 at Rockingham, NC.
Busch's NASCAR win column now includes 22 in Sprint Cup, 29 in the Camping World Truck Series and 49 Nationwide, which ties him with Mark Martin for most career victories in that series.
After taking the checkered flag, Busch made a victory lap around the flat 1.058-mile New Hampshire track, holding a white flag with "100" on it out of his window.
"It certainly feels good and means a lot," Busch said. "To tie Mark Martin's record at 49 wins is something that's pretty awesome. It's a great opportunity to race in this series and winning that many. To do it now is pretty neat."
Martin joined Busch in victory lane to congratulate him.
"Everybody forgets [Busch] is 26 years old, and there are so many more [wins] out there for him," Martin said.
Harvick led the most laps with 59.
Busch and Harvick raced each other clean in the closing laps, despite an on- going feud between the two. Both drivers have had a history of altercations on the track as well as on pit road, including one in May at Darlington Raceway. NASCAR placed both of them on probation for more than a month following their post-race brawl at Darlington.
Harvick said he was recently warned by NASCAR President Mike Helton not to retaliate against Busch in the future.
"I was told a few weeks ago that if I touched the 18 car [Busch], I would be parked," Harvick said. "I just got to be really careful. I would have liked to got the track position and slide up and did what I needed to do, but I just have to be really careful. That's the way NASCAR put it to me. It would've been a lot easier to win if I didn't have handcuffs put on me, but that's the way NASCAR said we had to do it."
Kasey Kahne finished third, while Stenhouse and Aric Almirola rounded out the top-five. Stenhouse bounced back from a spin on lap 33, which forced the first caution.
"I made a mistake there early when I tried to get by [Justin Allgaier]; he was holding everybody up," Stenhouse said. "I just tried to push the issue too hard. I got in there and got too tight and spun around. It was a great call by [crew chief] Mike Kelley getting us track position and having enough fuel to go to the end."
There was only one caution in the first 94 laps, but eight cautions occurred during the final 112 laps.
Kenny Wallace, Michael Annett, Brad Keselowski, the pole sitter, Steve Wallace and Allgaier finished sixth through 10th, respectively.
Elliott Sadler slightly padded his lead in the point standings after his 12th- place run. Sadler holds a seven-point advantage over Reed Sorenson, who was one of those caught up in a five-car accident on lap 190.

Troubleshooting Test Execution
If a test fails to run, you can investigate the failure by checking the test environment; this includes the way the test is set up and the settings in the active test run configuration. In some cases, such as those related to deployment, failures are independent of test type. In other cases, the test type determines how and what to investigate. For investigation tips by test type, see Details by Test Type.
Errors that involve tests are reported to you at either of two levels:
Test-level errors. By using the test results window, you can double-click the test result or right-click the test result and then select View Test Results Details. This displays a test [Details] page that shows error messages and other details, depending on the test type, such as stack-trace information for unit tests. An example of a test-level error is a test timeout error, which occurs if the test's timeout limit is reached.
Run-level errors. Errors at the run level, which include run configuration errors, are reported through the Test Results window. When a run-level error occurs, a link appears on the Test Results window status bar. Clicking this link displays more details about the error in the Test Run [Details] page. You can also display the Test Run [Details] page by clicking Run Details on the Test Results window toolbar. An example of a run-level error is a run timeout error, which occurs if the run's timeout limit is reached.
Not all problems cause a test to fail to run. After you have chosen to obtain code coverage data, running tests can generate a warning if your project has certain build settings. For more information, see Using the AnyCPU Build Setting when Obtaining Code Coverage Data.
Deployment Errors
Certain errors can be encountered for any test that can run automatically, which means any test type other than manual. These errors are frequently related to the deployment of tests. When a test is deployed, the file that contains it is copied to another folder, either to a location on the local computer or to a remote computer. For more information, see Test Deployment.
For unit tests, for example, the .dll file that was built from the test project is the file that must be deployed. If this binary file cannot be deployed, any unit tests that it contains are immediately marked as Failed in the Test Results window when you run them.
To fix this error, verify that the files are available on your local computer and that there were no build errors the last time that you rebuilt your test binaries.
Not only binary files can be deployed. You might specify that a particular file, such as a data file, is required by a test and must therefore be deployed with the test. At deployment time, if this file cannot be found because it has been moved or deleted, the test cannot run correctly and an error occurs. Also see Details by Test Type for information about this error with regard to generic tests.
To investigate this error, first note the files and folders specified on the Deployment page of the dialog box used to edit test run configurations. For more information, see How to: Specify a Test Run Configuration. Then check those files and folders on disk to make sure they are present and that their names are identical.
Your solution may have multiple run configuration files. If this is the case, make sure that you examine the run configuration that was active when the test error occurred. To determine which run configuration was active, examine the Test Run Details page for that test run. For more information, see the section "Test Run Details Page" in Test Results Reported.
For more information about active run configuration files, see How to: Apply a Test Run Configuration.
Errors in Reporting Remote Test Results
When you run tests remotely, the test results might not display. This error is probably related to the remote nature of the test run.
Like test results from local test runs, results from remote runs are reported to you locally. The reporting of certain remote test results depends on the ability of Team Edition for Testers to copy generated test results files from the remote test computer to your local computer.
If you find errors that occur with remote test results, start by determining whether the network connection between the remote computer and the computer on which you are running Visual Studio has been interrupted.
For more information, see Troubleshooting Controllers, Agents, and Rigs.
Instrumentation Errors
To enable the reporting of code-coverage, the binary files that are tested must be instrumented and then deployed before tests are run on them.
A failure to instrument the binary file causes the reporting of code coverage to fail. After the test run is completed, the Test Run Details page displays an error message stating that code coverage could not be reported, and it also states the cause.
Possible causes for a failure to instrument a binary file in place are that it is marked as read-only or it is being used by another process. To fix the error of a read-only binary file, first examine the attributes of the binary file to make sure that it can be written to. To know which binary files to check, open the Code Coverage page of the active run configuration; it is here that you specified files for instrumentation. For more information, see How to: Obtain Code Coverage Data.
Another cause for failure of code coverage when using in-place instrumentation can occur when you are using one or more unit tests together with a manual test. During the manual test, the tester runs the production code that is being tested. If the tester presses F5 or CTRL+F5 to start or debug the code, the project's executable file is rebuilt, which removes the instrumentation.
Also, make sure no other process is using the binary file. For example, make sure that you do not have the file open in another instance of Visual Studio.
When instrumenting a Strong-Named Assemblies, you can encounter other errors that are related to re-signing the assembly. For more information, see Instrumenting and Re-Signing Assemblies.
Using the AnyCPU Build Setting when Obtaining Code Coverage Data
You can obtain code coverage data only when you test code in 32-bit assemblies. To guarantee this condition, set a particular build property:
For C# projects, set the Platform target to x86. For more information, see How to: Set Build Properties (C#, J#).
For Visual Basic projects, set Target CPU to x86. For more information, see Advanced Compiler Settings Dialog Box (Visual Basic).
This warning does not apply to C++ projects because AnyCPU is not a platform choice for C++ projects.
If you build your project with the value of AnyCPU, tests that are run on the resulting assembly produce code coverage data, but the test run also generates a warning. You can see the text of the warning on the Test Run Details Page:
Warning VSP2013 : Instrumenting this image requires it to run as a 32-bit process. The CLR header flags have been updated to reflect this.
This warning means that the assembly has been recompiled with the x86 property applied for the purpose of obtaining code coverage data during this test run. To avoid this warning, compile any assembly for which you want code coverage data with the x86 setting.
If your application is meant to run on both 32-bit and 64-bit computers, remember to recompile it using the AnyCPU setting after testing has completed.
Details by Test Type
Certain errors frequently occur or primarily while you are running particular test types, as described in this section.
Manual tests. Manual tests cannot be run remotely. When you try to start a test run that includes a manual test, Team Edition for Testers tries to remove the manual test from the test run. When this occurs, you are alerted of this fact and given the choice of canceling the test run or letting it proceed without the manual test. For more information, see Dialog Boxes of Team Edition for Testers.
Ordered tests. Errors that are encountered with ordered tests frequently involve file deployment. Before the test engine can run an ordered test, it must locate and then deploy all the test files for all the contained tests, in addition to all other required files. Failure to do this for any of the individual tests would cause an error.
Generic tests. Deployment errors can also occur when you run generic tests. You can specify files to be deployed in two ways for generic tests: on the Deployment page of the test run configuration, and on the authoring page of the Generic test itself. The test might fail if you neglect to list all the required files or if Team System testing tools cannot find those files at the locations you specified.
These two different ways to deploy files cause errors to appear at different levels. If the deployment error relates to a file specified in the Generic test authoring page, the error will surface at the test level. If the deployment error relates to a file specified in run configuration, the error will surface at the run level.

Entry #114
It finally happened. Computer blew up. Rage video coming soon
2012-12-27 03:16:57 by Poniiboi
I was expecting it because of all of the horror stories that I heard, but it never happens at a good time. My computer went kablooie. The motherboard just shut down - one day it's working perfectly; the next day it's completely destroyed. Go figure.
No more bass music for a while. Fortunately I work for myself so I can make as much money as I want. I will have the money for a new computer in a couple of days; then I just have to go buy it.
It'll be good to get an upgrade.
And you are going to get a helluva rage video once I get the new computer in. Because once I have all of the parts out of the old one that I need, why NOT smash it with a baseball bat on Youtube to get attention?
Subscribe to the SJD Youtube channel (click here) to see the video when it comes [few days].

I'm far from the ocean, but that RIP grave thing is a GOOD IDEA. Consider it stolen.

A new film that purports to be Russian propaganda is the definition of absurd anti-gay expression. Among a slew of horrible accusations, it claims:
- "3% of the world is gay but they commit 30% of the crimes against children"
- "that "[gays] need children to satisfy their sexual desires"
- "the likelihood of contracting HIV from a gay person is 4,500 times more likely than a 'normal person'"
According to Queerty, the video was allegedly produced by a group called Healthy Young Generation — Healthy Russia. "The factually inaccurate, hyperbolic statements, dramatic music, and husky-voiced narrator would almost be comical if they whole thing weren't so damn creepy. Though the video cannot be authenticated, it comes at a time when Russia has been passing scores of new anti-gay legislation, and making worldwide headlines for violence against the LGBT community."
The video is four minutes too long. Watch at your own discretion:

There are two things that influence credit scores when information is deleted from your credit history. The obvious one is that negative information is removed. That is the positive.
The less obvious issue is stability. Credit scores not only weigh the information in your credit report at a certain moment, they also consider your credit behavior over time. A stable account history showing consistent, positive behavior is important to credit scores.
By deleting negative information, a degree of instability has been introduced that the credit scoring system cannot immediately account for as a positive change.
Initially, the deleted information and the instability cancel each other out, resulting in little or no change in your credit score. Sometimes there may even be a slight decrease in the score. But, after the next payment period or two, your credit history will appear stable again, and deletion of the negative information should result in a positive change to the credit score.

Though we are currently celebrating the Air Jordan 5's 23rd anniversary, it does not keep Jordan Brand from treating its predecessor with an all-new colorway. The most recent release sees the Air Jordan 4 with a Black and Stealth upper, as well as white accents on top of a speckled midsole similar to the Cement 4. As for now there is no definite release date. So stay tuned for updates.

Wild taxa
The biodiversity in Croatia is amongst the richest in all of Europe. The reason for this is the specific geographic position of Croatia at the crossing of four biogeographical regions, each of which is characterized by specific ecological, climatic and geomorphological properties. The great diversity of habitats has resulted in a wealth of diversity of wild taxa (species and subspecies).
Unfortunately, the exact number of wild taxa in Croatia is still unknown. To date, almost 40,000 taxa have been recorded. However, the actual number is estimated to be much higher, with estimates ranging from a minimum of 50,000 to over 100,000. Every year, scientists observe, discover and describe new species and subspecies. Such finds are rarer among fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals, as well as vascular flora, considering that these groups are relatively well known. On the other hand, groups such as algae, mosses, fungi and the invertebrates have been very poorly studied. For example, in the last five years alone, over 200 new taxa of invertebrates have been registered.
The wealth of Croatia's wild taxa lies not only in their diversity, but also in their endemicity. One of the reasons for such a high number of taxa endemic to Croatia, in particular the Tertiary relicts, is in the fact that these areas were not strongly impacted by the glaciations. The main centres of endemic flora are the Velebit and Biokovo mountains, while endemic fauna are most represented in the underground habitats (cave invertebrates, olm), on the islands (lizards, snails) and in the karst rivers of the Adriatic basin (minnows and gobies).
Despite the great wealth of wild taxa and the preservation of their habitats, many wild taxa in Croatia are threatened.
These taxa have been included on Red Lists and described in the Red Books. Thus far, 18 red lists have been published in Croatia, as well as and nine red books covering the following groups: ptice, vaskularna flora, sisavci, slatkovodne ribe, morske ribe, vodozemci i gmazovi, špiljska fauna, vretenca i gljive.
All threatened taxa are strictly protected under the Ordinance on strictly protected species (Official Gazette 144/13) (in Croatian), which entered into force in 2013. Many wild taxa in Croatia are protected in line with international regulations, such as the Bern Convention, the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive.
The greatest threat to wild taxa in Croatia is the direct destruction of their habitats. Natural habitats are being transformed into construction or agricultural land, while road construction leads to habitat fragmentation. The introduction of alien species, some of which become invasive, also represents a great threat to wild taxa. Overexploitation through the commercial collection of plants and fungi, fishing, hunting and forestry also threaten the populations of many wild taxa. Intensive agriculture and tourism, pollution of the water, air and soil, and poaching and some other threats to the wild taxa of Croatia.

Nondisparagement agreements and similar clauses are on the rise, now that employers can monitor social media and other digital communications.
Q: My son, with seven years of management experience at a nonprofit, recently lost his job, along with a dozen other managers, as part of a reorganization. Each was given a severance package — but all had to sign a multipage document requiring them not to speak negatively about the organization, its leadership or their experiences while employed there.
Does this mean that if he gets together over dinner with his friends who lost their jobs, they can't speak about the company that kicked them out? Does it prevent him from talking to his relatives or me about the terrible time he had while employed there? I can see his former employer prohibiting him from speaking to the media about the organization's problems — but preventing him from speaking to friends and relatives is going too far, is it not?
A: Here is yet another corner of the working world that's being revised to meet the realities of the social media era. For context, I spoke to Orly Lobel, a professor of employment and labor law at the University of San Diego School of Law.
Nondisparagement agreements and similar clauses are on the rise, she says, now that employers can monitor social media and other digital communications. By and large such agreements are perfectly legal: While in some circumstances free-speech issues may come into play (think of a whistleblower acting in the broad public interest), employers are generally seen as having a legitimate business interest in protecting their reputations.

"This is all within the bounds of reasonableness," Lobel adds.
So it's not really about preventing an ex-employee from answering questions at Thanksgiving. But it does apply to the murkier realm of, say, Facebook or a blog. That kind of venue may feel personal and nonpublic, but as we keep learning over and over, there's no guarantee that what happens online stays online. (And even if it does, it can easily spill over into the de facto public realm.)
Perhaps a long legal document seems like overkill, but the law is a blunt instrument. And there may actually be something close to a silver lining here. Let's face it, your son has clearly already spoken critically about the organization to his family, and maybe it's just as well that there's a tangible deterrent to keeping him from doing so in other forums, particularly digital ones. Losing a job is always a tough experience, and a little venting is human nature. But while emotions fade, online traces of them can stick around longer than we'd like.

Angelo Coast Range Reserve
Open to the Public
Things To Do
In 1959 the Conservancy acquired its first property in California: 3,100 acres of pristine old-growth Douglas-fir forest in Mendocino County. More than 50 years later, the Conservancy has doubled the size of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve, and today it serves as a research site for topics ranging from salmon to food webs to climate change.
A Vision of Conservation
The story begins in 1931, when Heath Angelo, a San Francisco box and basket manufacturer, traveled north to find a cheaper source of wood. Instead, he found the Mendocino woods and fell in love with the region. Heath bought 160 acres, with the South Fork of the Eel River running through them, and he moved his family north.
Over the next 20 years Heath and Marjorie Angelo bought as much land as they could to protect it from being logged. They increased their holdings to 3,100 acres.
But in the 1950s, tax laws changed and landowners with timber on their property were taxed for the value of their timber every year, whether or not it was harvested.
The Angelos found themselves in danger of losing their land if they resisted logging it.
A Life Estate for Future Generations
The family turned to The Nature Conservancy and negotiated a life estate that would let them sell their land and protect it from development, while retaining the right for their children and grandchildren to live on the property.
Over the next 35 years, the Conservancy, in collaboration with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, increased the size of the reserve to 7,500 acres. In 1994 the Conservancy transferred its lands to the University of California's Natural Reserve System.
Today, the reserve harbors the state's largest remaining old-growth Douglas-fir forest, providing habitat for spotted owls, gray foxes and black bears. River otters play along the banks of the river, which serves as a spawning stream for salmon and steelhead trout.
Heath Angelo's grandson, Peter Steel, manages the reserve. "My grandfather's love for the north woods rubbed off on me," Peter says.
He's the only one of his generation to exercise his right to the life estate established by his grandfather. And, as his work as reserve manager attests, he didn't just go to the property to live there; he went to further his grandfather's vision for land preservation.
The Angelo Coast Range Reserve is part of a 7,915-acre living laboratory managed by the University of California's Natural Reserve System. The property features numerous creeks that feed into the Eel River as well as towering redwoods and Douglas-firs that provide shelter for ringtails, voles, Pacific giant salamanders and many other forest inhabitants. Listen and watch for pileated woodpeckers and northern spotted owls.

THEY strike in the dead of night while families are asleep in their beds.
Breaking into Hampshire homes with just one aim – to steal the keys to the cars parked on the road outside.
And they have struck again, this time in Hedge End, getting away with two cars, a Mercedes and an Audi.
One victim has told the Daily Echo how he feels violated after thieves got inside his home in Beattie Rise and drove off in his Silver Mercedes CLK 220.
He was asleep upstairs with his family and only noticed his car was gone when he couldn't find his car keys and looked outside to discover it was missing.
The 44-year-old, whose car was worth £8,000, said: "The issue is not the car, it's more the violation.
"You feel violated in your own home, really – it's the type of thing you always think happens to someone else."
Officers are also looking at whether this theft, last Thursday, could be connected to a similar incident in Watkin Road, Hedge End.
Once again, thieves stole the car keys, this time for an Audi A6, from inside the home of a 48-year-old man. They took the vehicle from the drive, overnight between March 27 and March 28.
This latest spate of car thefts is not the first time police have come across thieves using this method of breaking into homes first to steal the car keys.
In just 48 hours over the Jubilee weekend of June 2012, burglars raided homes before stealing top-of-the-range cars worth nearly £175,000 from driveways.
Chalvington Road, in Chandler's Ford and Holly Gardens and Lime Gardens, both in West End, were targeted within hours.
Thieves stole a black Land Rover Range Rover Sport worth £25,000, a black Mercedes CLS worth £54,000 and a black Range Rover Sport Estate worth £25,000.
Just 48 hours later homes were targeted in Southampton and a £29,000 white Mark II RS Focus and a white BMW 7 series valued at £40,000 taken.
And in 2011 thieves stole a grey Mercedes E-Class from Bassett Heath Road and a black Mercedes E-class sport from Glen Eyre Road, both worth £30,000 each after first getting into the house and grabbing the keys.
Police in Hedge End are now warning homeowners not to leave vehicle keys in obvious places and to make sure doors and windows are locked at night.
Anyone with information should call Det Con Claire Reynolds at Eastleigh CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Tecumseh (1768–1813) was a Shawnee leader who organized American Indian resistance to white expansion into Indian lands. Following the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, which gave the United States control of most of the Ohio Territory and which Tecumseh vehemently opposed, Tecumseh rose as a prominent American Indian leader. In 1805, his brother Tenskwatawa experienced a vision calling on his people to end their dependence on white traders and return to native ways. The brothers began to form a confederation to resist white incursion. Tecumseh traveled for several years, visiting different tribes. In 1811 in Tecumseh's absence, Tenskwatawa ordered an attack on the camp of William Henry Harrison. Harrison's troops had been preparing to march on the Indian camp and decisively defeated the Indians. Many of the brothers' disheartened followers dispersed after the battle, and Tecumseh joined forces with the British in Canada. He fought for the British during the War of 1812 and was killed at the Battle of the Thames in October 1813 when William Henry Harrison invaded Canada. Most major Indian resistance to white settlement in the region ended with Tecumseh's death.
