We think we can't wait to retire. How sweet it would be to stop the rat race, and enjoy life a bit.
Why is it, then, that so few people seem to be able to retire well? I work with someone who's reached full retirement age, plus has a sweet, fat pension waiting for her. She's really not very effective at her job anymore, and you can see in her eyes that technology and business culture has passed her by. Yet, she can't bring herself to retire. In her case, she perceives herself as important in her work environment, and I suspect she fears the loss of that perception of importance she has of herself.
My dad died within a couple years of retiring, which was a common malady among men of his generation. They'd built their entire life and identity around who they were at work, and became lost when they let go of that identity. In their case, it's not so much importance as identity I think they lose when they retire.
Either way, it's bad. Whether you're losing your perceived self-importance or losing your identity, retirement is something that causes problems.
Of course, there are exceptions. I have a dear friend that I hunt with and cycle with occasionally. He retired as soon as he could, and retired as well as anyone I know. He spends most of his year pursuing his passions of fishing and hunting, and still finds time for bicycle rides with me now and then. He worked hard and did a good job when he was employed, but his employment wasn't his identity. He spent his life building his identity in his passions outside of work, so when he was able to move past work, he could fall completely into his passions.
I have another friend who was an absolute fiend when he was working. He was a hard-charging, fast-paced workaholic. I figured he'd never be able to give up working. I was wrong. He reached a point in life where he was able to "sell off†in a way that set him up financially for life, and proceeded to build an entirely new identity for himself. He threw himself into his new passions of philanthropy and being the "elder†to folks he knew, and he did it well. He became a changed man, and appeared to be a happy man.
This second man was a boss for many years. One of the most important lessons he taught me was the importance for me to work myself out of a job – to find someone who could do my job better than me so I could move along to the next job. He lived this in his life, and was able to leave his career with a smile on his face.
Some do it well, some suck at it. Next, I'll explore the lessons of the traps to avoid in a career – the traps that make retirement dangerous…

In this book, Stan Yorke explains the history of the steam engine and the enormous variety of uses to which it was put. There are over 50 photographs, plus detailed diagrams. Steam engines with their hissing pistons, revolving wheels and smell of oil and coal smoke have an irresistible attraction for many of us. The realisation that steam could be used to power machinery became one of the great Eureka moments of history-comparable to the discovery of iron and the… (more)

THATTA, May 23: Makli Civil Hospital, four taluka hospitals and eight rural health centres in the district face a shortage of specialists and administrative staff for the past couple of years, resulting in inadequate health facilities to patients who mostly come from remote areas. Dawn
PPP MPA Humera Alwani who raised the issue of Thata hospitals in Sindh Assembly, told on Monday that the civil hospital had a sanctioned strength of 81 gazetted posts of specialists, including gynaecologist, ophthalmologist, anaesthetist, chest specialists, dermatologist, physician, surgeon, pathologist, paediatrician, senior dental surgeon, cardiologist, urologist and radiologist. But less than 50 per cent posts had been filled and the remaining were lying vacant.
The MPA said that these posts had been sanctioned in 1956 and the number had never been increased despite increase in population of the district which had reached over 1.7 million.
According to a monthly report compiled by the District Health Information System, number of incoming patients reporting at the civil hospital during 24 hours is 600 on an average.
Mr Alwani claimed that 41 special cadre employees of the hospital were serving at the National Institute of Child Health and Sindh government hospital in Karachi, Liaqauat University Hospital in Hyderabad and other hospitals on the basis of detailment, doing post-graduation in other cities, working as focal persons for Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Programme or were on long leave.
According to the MPA, strength of sanctioned posts for Shaikh Zaid Medical Centre, Mirpur Sakro, is 33 out of which 24 posts are vacant. At Jati taluka hospital, 33 posts are sanctioned out of which 17 posts are lying vacant.
Mirpur Bathoro taluka hospital has 34 posts out of which 22 are vacant. Sujawal taluka hospital has 44 posts out of which 19 are vacant.
A total of 121 special cadre posts are sanctioned for eight rural health centres in Gharo, Var, Jungshahi, Darro, Baghan, Jherruck, Keti Bunder and Shah Bunder but 58 posts are vacant.
Thatta district has 63 government health facilities, out of which 50 Basic Health Units have been handed over to the People's Primary Health Initiative (PPHI). Under the administrative command of PPHI, the MPA said, overall performance of these BHUs had improved marginally.
She said the curative ratio of patients at the BHUs had improved but preventive ratio had declined because of comparatively poor attention towards EPI, malaria and TB control programmes.
Ms Alwani blamed lack of specialists and other staff for failure of these health facilities and said that a number of expensive machines, including dialysis machine, dental units, X-ray machines and instruments at pathological laboratories had been left to rot in several health facilities of the district.
The MPA said the poverty-stricken district required special attention and appealed to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah to form a special fact-finding team to help streamline the healthcare system.
Former MNA Babu Ghulam Hussain, member of PPP's Sindh Council, Aijaz Ali Khwaja and other leaders of civil society also called for streamlining healthcare system in the district.
DCO Mohammad Jaffar Abbasi said that he had requested Sindh Health Minister Dr Sagheer Ahmed to abolish detailment of special cadre doctors posted at Thatta hospitals and end shortage of employees, including administrative staff and paramedics.

How to Tip at Hotels in Canada
Canada attracts millions of international visitors every year to its cosmopolitan cities like British Columbia's Vancouver, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and its outdoor landmarks, such as Alberta's Rocky Mountains. When you stay in one of the many hotels dotting the Canadian landscape, know what's expected when it comes to tips to ensure helpful service during your visit.
Step 1
Tip the taxi driver when you arrive at the hotel, if you caught a taxi. A 10 percent tip is customary. Hand the tip to the driver when you pay your cab fare. If you are driving your own car and use the hotel's valet service, tip the valet driver a couple of dollars when you hand him your keys.
Step 2
Give the hotel bellhop $1 or $2 for each bag that he helps you carry. Give him the money after he brings the bags to your room.
Step 3
Consider tipping the housekeeper who cleans your room. This is not necessary, but it might ensure a more thorough cleaning. Signal that the money is for her by placing it on a sheet of paper and writing a message such as, "Thank you for cleaning."
Step 4
Provide gratuities when dining in the hotel restaurant. Although Canada maintains close ties with European customs, service charges are not usually included on restaurant tabs like they are in the Old World. Add 10 to 15 percent to the price of the bill before taxes.
Step 5
Tip the hotel concierge desk if you are given exceptional service. For example, you might tip if the concierge staffer goes out of his way to get you tickets to a sold-out concert at Vancouver's GM Place or books you dinner at an exclusive restaurant like Toronto's Opus. The tip amount varies widely according to the value of the service, but typically ranges between $5 and $10.
- Unlike in the United States, Canada does not have $1 bills. Instead, it uses $1 and $2 coins, respectively known as the "loonie" and the "toonie." Standard bills are in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50s and $100.
- All Canadian restaurants charge a 5 percent goods and services tax (GST) tax, as of February 2010. This makes calculating a 15 percent tip easy. Multiply the GST listed on your restaurant bill by three.
- Most Canadian restaurants automatically add a gratuity if your party has eight or more members. The automatic gratuity typically ranges from 12 to 18 percent.

Kevin Lane's size alone made him a legitimate candidate for a football scholarship south of the border.
His development over the past few years brought it closer to reality.
Still, naturally, the doubts were there.
Which made the elation second to none now that it's become reality for the St. Mary's high school student.
"At first, it's always just a big dream," said Lane of his hopes to take his football to the next level.
"Even when I knew it was coming, getting the official offer, it was huge."
Today, the 6-ft. 6-in., 315-lb. offensive tackle will officially sign a letter of intent with the University of Tulsa, a NCAA Div. 1A school that will play in Conference USA next season.
"It's funny but when they first phoned me, I was more excited somebody liked my film," said the teenage giant who won't turn 18 until September.
The road to Tulsa began last summer when Lane attended a camp in Ontario and met Golden Hurricanes defensive backs coach Thurmond Moore.
"I didn't think much would come about it," Lane recalled.
In fact, he didn't hear anything from the Oklahoma school for quite a while.
However, Lane did have some contact with representatives from the University of Idaho, Miami, Florida Atlantic, Rutgers, Akron and Toledo, Ohio.
Only in the last few weeks, though, did the recruiters from Tulsa begin to talk to him.
A trip to the city and campus last weekend solidified his decision.
"Both nights I was there, I went out with guys on the o-line and they were really close and that made it feel right," said Lane, whose scholarship will include tuition, books, food and accommodations.
"Plus the coaches are like father figures there."
Tulsa posted a 4-8 record this past season in the Western Athletic Conference but does have cause for optimism. There was a three-point loss to top-10 Boise State and narrow defeats to Nevada, in triple overtime, and to Southern Methodist, in OT.
It'll likely be at least a year before Lane is on the field for the Golden Hurricanes. In fact, it's a very real possibility he won't attend school until January.
As of now, the Golden Hurricanes have used up their scholarships set aside for offensive linemen but have three remaining they'd like to use for recruiting offensive skill position players.
Should those three be filled, Lane plans to play junior football for a season and then head to school in the winter.
But if he can receive a scholarship right away, he'll go in the fall and begin his studies, likely with a major in psychology.
Either way, the teen who helped St. Mary's claim Calgary's Div. 2 championship feels he's on the right track to make another dream reality, playing in the pros -- no matter which league.
"It makes it seem a lot more possible," he said. "Even if you play in Canada, you can still get a chance to play in the NFL but this makes it a lot more realistic."

Due to changes in my work schedule I have decided to go ahead and start crockpot cooking. I am looking for a good, slightly-gourmet, slow cooker cook book. I read many good reviews about Rick Rogers' book on Amazon- they say its more work, but worth it! Any other suggestions? Any experience with this book?
On a related note, does anyone have any good recipes for vension in the slow cooker?

Okay, so Karl Rove had hundreds and millions of dollars from Republican donors to advance Republican candidates. None of them won. What happened next?
"My posterior was shredded a little bit by donors wondering why we are writing checks for people who then turn around and run such lousy campaigns," Rove said on Wednesday while speaking in Dallas at a luncheon sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Weirdly, Rove's shredded-posterior imagery inspired deep within me a powerful craving for a pulled pork sandwich. But look at the second half of that sentence, when he lays the blame on the candidates. Rove says he's learned that "The quality of candidates matters." Because that's something that never occurred to him before he started tossing around three hundred million dollars of other people's money. If a Rove super PAC pulls in that kind of money again in the next election cycle, I'll be stunned. I don't know how anyone could trust him with three dollars, yet alone three hundred million.

Taking his cue from the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, he postulates that any writer's epiphany pattern usually shows characteristic elements (earth, air, fire, water), patterns of motion (pendular, eruptive, trembling), and/or geometric shapes. Bachelard's analytic approach involves studying patterns of perceived experience - phenomenology - but unlike most phenomenologists, Bidney does not speculate on internal processes of consciousness. Instead, he concentrates on literary epiphanies as objects on the printed page, as things with structures that can be detected and analyzed for their implications. Bidney, then, first identifies each author's paradigm epiphany, finding that both the Romantics and the Victorians often label such a paradigm as a vision or dream, thereby indicating its exceptional intensity, mystery, and expansiveness. Once he identifies the paradigm and shows how it structured, he traces occurrences of each writer's epiphany pattern, thus providing an inclusive epiphanic portrait that enables him to identify epiphanies in each writer's other works. Finally, he explores the implications of his analysis for other literary approaches: psychoanalytical, feminist, influence-oriented or intertextual, and New Historical.

well its official that three members of DBSk (junsu, Micky and Jaejoong) are now forming a new group of three and will be performing at Tokyo Dome, while Changmn and Yunho are doing their own thing. Do you feel that its right for them to be spliting this way? How do you feel about this new trio, is it just me or is there a lack of... i dont know something! without yunho and changmin things just dont seem the same....

as a fan i will support everyone equally no matter what they do as long it is them. i will respect their decision and of course i'll pray that they will be 2gether as DBSK. The one and only . But if there is no other way for them to be 2gether i'll continue to be a fan of all of them and remember how thankful i am as a fan of DBSK
But i think it is not easy for them to forget about DBSK , if not there is no way they will still waiting and not disband . I mean it is almost a year and yet they r not disband. So i think all of them is still in love as a DBSK 's member . Perhaps HOMIN is waiting for JAECHUNSU to come join them and JAECHUNSU want HOMIN to be with them... argh.... i just wish they can settle this as ASAP.

Well I'm not thrilled about JaeChunSu forming a new Unit like this while the lawsuit is still pending, but I'm not angry either. Like Erxmeeza said, I also plan to support the decision of each of the members. I don't think JaeChunSu are doing this to hurt Yunho and Changmin at all. They just want to establish their own identity separate from SM's greedy claws. I actually think the new Unit is a smart way to give a nice blow to SM's ego. (HA! take that SM! ) Afterall, SM DOESN'T want to "cut" the 3 members from their contract, but they DO want to make them MISERABLE by alienating them from Yunho and Changmin, so why not start a new music Unit comprised of the "outcasts"?
I say we wait and see what happens with these upcoming Live performances from JaeChunSu in June. Maybe they have a special message for us. Let's also see if Yunho and Changmin will have anything to say about the new Unit FROM THEIR OWN MOUTHES, not those SM DUMMIES. Until they speak up themselves, I'll be cool with watching at least these 3 on stage.

firstly the will form a NEW UNIT NOT A NEW GROUP :)
I respect their decision and it's our(cassiopeia,I-cassie, Bigeast) job to keep supporting them.
I know we all have mix felling about this sad+happy but let's all pray that this lawsuit thing will end soon and it's all going to end with a hppy ending ;)
We should be grateful enough that our boys going to have a comeback in japan althought it just 3/5 of them. TVXQ love their fan. That's why they're trying to have comeback for us even if it just 3/5. Although i REALLY hope that they will have a comeback as 5 again.
Did you guys read junsu's comment that he afraid to go to singapore (for his brother; Zuno showcase) because he's afraid that cassie will be mad at him because of this issue.He even cancelled the autograph and photo taking session. He really feels the guilty...i feel really sorry for him. Even at the time like this he still thinks about TVXQ's fan. It really shows how he really cared about us. Junsu-oppa we love you, Cassiopeia dont hate you at all.
from onetvxq.com
We just received an emotional message from Junsu. This is what he said to Zuno's manager – "I am very worried when I come to Singapore for my brother's showcase. It is my first time to the country and with so many legal issues going on I had no choice but to pull out from the fans meet in Singapore. I am afraid that my fans will hate me because of this and in turn they won't support Zuno
Always keep the faith, Keep believing in them and keep waiting for them to comeback as 5.

Hey Azngurlee,
Um I don't know exactly who you are asking this question to, but I hope you don't mind me giving you an answer. The 3 members in the lawsuit are using their own first names (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu) or JYJ for short during performances. Changmin and Yunho have been working on their acting careers lately. Changmin is working on the drama Paradise Meadow, which will air later this year, and Yunho has been doing modeling and interviews for magazines lately. He will also be playing the lead role in the musical version of the Drama "Goong" (Princess Hours) in September.
Hope that answers your question. If you have any more questions, you may ask us at the "Ask Questions Here" thread.

Do you ever have the sense that you were born in the wrong era? That you were meant to live in a time where gentlemen wore hats and ladies wore gloves? Have I got the soundtrack for you.
Pianist Antoine Zemor says his new recording of Brazilian Dances by Ernesto Nazareth is your ticket to a tropical paradise. But with all due respect, I disagree. It took me someplace else -- to the movies.
Not today's multiplex theaters, with surround sound and stadium seating, but to the Bijou, the Palace, the Orpheum of my grandparents' era.
These were the gorgeous Art Deco buildings with imposing marquees, ushers with flashlights, and pipe organs or pianos -- holdovers from the silent movie days when the soundtrack was all in the hands of whoever was sitting at that keyboard.
At the Odeon Theatre in Rio de Janeiro, circa 1920, that person was a Brazilian composer named Ernesto Nazareth. People came great distances, making sure to show up early to hear him perform the pre-movie show.
The title track of this CD is a piece he wrote during that period, named after the theater where he worked. "Odeon" captures that special wacky energy of the flapper era, but with a definite Brazilian accent.
A tune called "July 9th" marks the start of an uprising in Sao Paolo that came to be known as the Constitutionalist Revolution. Despite those warrior themes, the piece itself brings to mind Scott Joplin's Spanish serenade "Solace," with its sleepy tango rhythm.
In "Ameno Reseda," it's hard NOT to imagine the silent film this piece may have accompanied -- a man in a suit out for a stroll on a cheery spring day. Suddenly, a cry for help! A pretty young thing has caught the heel of her boot in the cobblestone street, and here's a runaway carriage! Can our hero reach her in time?!?
The music of Ernesto Nazareth's Brazil was an international bazaar: European "serious" classical music rubbed shoulders with Rio de Janeiro street songs, African rhythms, early jazz and fragments of ragtime. Nazareth's style was a natural synthesis of these influences.
While most of the music on this CD leans toward the popular -- tangos and waltzes and other Brazilian dances -- you can also hear evidence of the classically-trained Nazareth from time to time. "Passaros em festa" weaves in and out of Chopin and Mendelssohn territory in a very charming way.
Played with an elegant and loving hand by Antoine Zemor, the music is light and sentimental -- full of nostalgia for a time most of us only learned of secondhand.

The following instructions should re-enable Ctrl-R:

The above happens because GHC is using the OS X default installation
 of libreadline.a which is actually a link to libedit that doesn't
 implement the full readline API.

 If you already have the MacPorts readline, you just need to tell cabal
 where it is, with (for example)

 cabal install readline --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include
 --extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib

If you'd like, you can add /opt/local/include to your shell's INCLUDE_PATH and/or C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables and /opt/local/lib to your LIBRARY_PATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. I say "and/or" because I don't know which one is actually necessary, but if you add it to both you'll be safe.

A Florida gas station clerk who fired a handgun after three armed men, who robbed the store and threatened he and two other people at gunpoint, could face charges himself.
The robbers of a Daytona Beach Sunoco early Friday morning met a gas station owner, his clerk and a customer inside and demanded cash.
All complied in the robbery initially, but the owner and clerk didn't let it end without a fight.
The Sunoco's owner, who was not named by WKMG-TV, said he equips all his clerks with handguns. So, while the robbers took off from the store, the owner and the clerk followed, pulling out their own weapons.
The clerk fired close to a dozen shots at the getaway car, breaking the glass of a nearby parked car, but the robbers continued onward. Police are unsure if the car or suspects inside were hit.
Watch the footage of the robbery in WKMG's report:
Daytona Beach police spokesman Jimmie Flynt told the news station the clerk could face charges for firing the gun in public.
"I got three guns pointed at me and one shotgun at my chest — it's scary, " the owner told WKMG of the incident. "I was really very mad, you know because I work hard. I've been working since 9:00 in the morning and 2:30 in the morning next day, I'm here and somebody like this comes in and robs me. I'm not going to accept it."
Those in the store at the time of the robbery were not injured.
In total, the robbers made off with about $500 and a cellphone, according to WESH-TV.
As of Friday afternoon, the suspects were still at large.

Xconomist of the Week: Stephen Wolfram on Big Ideas & Companies
Stephen Wolfram is not one to be summed up in a few pithy quotes. Well, too bad.
Here is his life in a nutshell:
"I grew up in England and went to all sorts of good schools that I thought were completely irrelevant."
"By the time I was 20 years old, I was a physics faculty member at Caltech, and I was building a big software system that was a forerunner of Mathematica."
"Along the way, I learned a lot about what not to do in starting a company."
"For about a decade I was almost a complete recluse, running the company from a distance, and spending every night working on basic science."
"I don't really have a boss. I just do what I want to do. The trick is not to have a private company that gets too weird and too pathological."
That was a sampling of what the distinguished and controversial Wolfram had to say at our Xconomy Forum in Boston last week, called "6×6: Six Cities, Six Big Tech Ideas." For those who don't know, he is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research, the creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha, and the author of A New Kind of Science. He is also a recently minted Xconomist.
Wolfram, 52, set the table for the theme of our event, which involved some of the biggest ideas in technology and business from entrepreneurs and executives around the country. As only he could, the physics and software guru reflected on his 30 years in the tech industry and his contrarian approach to running big projects and building companies.
A few things really stood out to me in his talk. One was the importance of making mistakes early in his career. While at Caltech in the early '80s, Wolfram got into a "grisly early-IP-meets-university" battle over his software tools, he said.
"I ended up deciding I had to start a company around the software system I'd built, and of course I was just a physics kid. I didn't know anything about starting companies," he said. "I made lots of mistakes, like not running the company myself, hiring a CEO who was twice my age, and so on. The company quickly started doing things that I thought were silly and boring. In the end, after many trials and tribulations, it did in fact survive and finally went public and was gobbled up by bigger fishes." (You can read more about his first startup, Computer Mathematics, which was venture-backed and later merged with Inference, here.)
Another thing Wolfram figured out early on was that university work was not for him. After spending time at Caltech and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, he started a research center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study complex systems and complexity theory. "My plan A was to get lots of other people to help work" on the implications and applications of his findings, he said. "It was OK, but it was really slow. I got kind of frustrated and needed a plan B," he said. "My plan B was to build the best possible tools I can, set myself up personally in the best possible situation, forget the idea of having everybody else help, and just have a blast figuring out a bunch of science for myself."
So, 25 years ago, he started working on Mathematica, a symbolic programming language for scientific computing, via Champaign, IL-based Wolfram Research. "This time I was CEO of my own company, I didn't take anyone else's money," he said, and things "worked out extremely well." (Mathematica is a cash cow in the fields of education and algorithmic software development. Wolfram Research has been consistently profitable and currently employs about 700 people.)
Meantime, Wolfram moved to the Boston area and spent the '90s working on his book, A New Kind of Science (the details of which I can't get into here), all in parallel with running Wolfram Research remotely. "The company continued to grow and prosper," he said. "Despite some of my hopes that it would happen, there was no coup."
If you're thinking "crazy maverick genius," you're spot on—but it gets crazier. (Did I mention he's saved every keystroke he's typed in 22 years so he can analyze how to be more efficient?) Wolfram's most recent project, called Wolfram Alpha, seeks to "take the knowledge of our civilization and make it computable, so that we can have something that automatically answers questions as well as or better than any human expert in any field," he said. Basically, you can type in any query (on scientific, financial, economic, or other matters) and instead of giving you links like a search engine, Wolfram Alpha tries to compute the answer based on huge swaths of curated data, natural language processing, human experts, and 15 million lines of Mathematica code. (This sounds a bit similar to Paul Allen's Project Halo, though there are big differences too.)
"I've worked on some pretty complicated projects and products over the years, but Wolfram Alpha is, from my point of view, kind of absurd," Wolfram said.
In the spirit of understanding how and why to tackle such a huge idea, Wolfram shed some light. "Ever since I was a kid, I have been thinking about how to systematically organize knowledge and make it computable. I thought I'd have to solve the general problem of artificial intelligence. About every decade or so, I came back to that and always thought, 'It's just too hard.' But from [A New Kind of Science] and thinking about the nature of intelligence, I realized I was not thinking about it correctly," he said. "And that in some fundamental sense we already had everything we needed for computational knowledge, just from computation."
What he means is he was able to tackle Wolfram Alpha because of decades' worth of software framework built up at his company. Crucially, he also had the freedom—financially and intellectually—to pursue a big, risky project like this because of the company's success to date. Of course, it takes a certain audacious mindset too.
"I think the single most important thing in that project, and in other impossible projects, is the simple point of believing that one can do the project," Wolfram said. "Having the confidence, maybe the arrogance, to believe that even though other people have tried and failed, and lots of people tell them it's impossible, that one can nevertheless actually do it. And then being able to lead other people to throw themselves into it too."
It remains to be seen how well Wolfram Alpha will ultimately perform, but it's been quite a ride already. The project has advanced far beyond the experimental stage: Apple's latest iPhone uses the technology in its virtual assistant, Siri. "It's always a strange thing," Wolfram said, "starting with just an idea, gradually turning it into something real, and inventing along the way all those things that start small and eventually become huge structures that everybody assumes were always there. I always think that anyone who's been involved in such a thing has a kind of glow of confidence that lasts about a decade or so—realizing that, yes, with the right effort, nothing can turn into something."
But let's come back to Earth here. There was a pretty strong overcurrent of do-it-yourself, anti-VC sentiment in Wolfram's company-building comments. (To be fair, some of his best friends are probably VCs.) Is any of that applicable or realistic for most tech entrepreneurs these days?
"Our company is pretty different from a lot of the industry," Wolfram said. "Our goals are a bit different about building these giant things that are interesting, independent of the difficulty of doing it." Plus, Wolfram Research has been around for 20-plus years and is still privately held. "That's an unusual thing in the technology business. Usually people get venture capital, there's a certain cycle of things happening, it either gets very big or it blows up, or it gets bought by somebody," he said. "For Wolfram Alpha, I can imagine some venture capital-type pitches for that project—and I can't imagine they would have ended very well."
Another insight, which is more applicable to medium-size and larger companies, had to do with hard-wiring innovation into the corporate culture. Wolfram has a theory about "the rhythm of innovation," he said. "The notion is, we're always going to be doing something qualitatively different every couple of years, and just get used to that. There will always be a new thing happening, and there will always be people who will be pulled into that new thing." He added, "So I get to do the scary thing to folks at the company, which is with great regularity saying, 'I have a new idea. Let's see who can work on it.'"
Overall, Wolfram seems very optimistic about the progress of technology. Given the current state of the industry (and his own role in it), he said, "We have sort of a Cambrian explosion moment. I'm certainly having more fun and feeling more productive than at any time I've been involved in the technology industry."
One of the questions from the audience had to do with Wolfram's philosophy on what can be predicted about the world. "When it comes to what happens in society, there's sort of a mixture of things you can compute and things that are irreducibly hard to compute," he said. "Basically the only way you can work out what's going to happen [in the latter case] is to directly simulate them, or to just watch what they do."
Perhaps an example of that comes from Wolfram's home life. "I'm always trying to figure out where things are going, and I make these predictions about what will happen," he said. "My wife is always reminding me of the following story of what I'd said in the early '90s. We had been building a house. OK, how do we put a television in this room? I said, 'Well, you just make this little niche in the wall, 4 inches thick, that will be fine for a television.' And, well, of course, there were eventually flat screen televisions, but it wasn't in the early '90s."

Lyari's gangster Arshad Pappu, who has been struggling to take the reins of the neighbourhood, has been declared dead along with his brother, Arafat, and his close aide, Jumma Shera alias Shera Pathan.
Pappu, who was almost 40 years old, was born in Shershah and entered Lyari's gang wars after an alleged dispute between his father, Lal Muhammad alias Haji Lalu, and Sardar Abdur Rehman Baloch alias Rehman Dakait in 2002. The two fought over money in a drugs business which caused severe losses to Pappu's father. To avenge this crisis, Pappu became a gangster.
The alias Pappu was given to him by his father. "During my childhood I was a very healthy boy which is why my father used to call me Pappu," the Lyari gangster told The Express Tribune during an interview in August 2011. "Since then, everyone close to me calls me that."
During the peak of his rivalry with Rehman Dakait, Pappu was accused of kidnapping and killing Mama Faizu, the father of the defunct Peoples Amn Committees head Uzair Baloch, who was also a close friend of Rehman.
He was also accused of disrespecting the graves of Rehman's elders in Mewa Shah graveyard by hurling grenades and running over bulldozers. These two acts deeply angered the rival group.
A person close to him recalled that Pappu's father scolded his son for kidnapping Mama Faizu for ransom. "He told his son to kill him, otherwise their reputation would be ruined."
Between 2002 and 2006, Pappu was operating his gang from Shershah and its surrounding areas. Several people from both sides were killed in the clashes between these years.
Pappu was arrested in 2006 and was charged of involvement in around 50 cases of which 20 were for murder, according to one of his lawyers, Mohammad Farooq.
Crime Investigation Department (CID) SSP Fayyaz Khan recalled the day Pappu was arrested. "Given the narrow streets in Lyari, I brought Pappu to the armoured personnel carrier on my motorcycle," he told The Express Tribune.
"Even he [Pappu] was surprised at this because he knew he was considered a dangerous man. He asked, 'Am I a goat that you are taking me on a motorcycle?'"
During his time in jail, his chief operations commander Ghaffar Zikri, re-emerged and took control until August 2009 when he switched allegiance and joined Rehman's gang. However, Rehman was killed two months later, after which Zikri rejoined Pappu's gang.
"When Pappu was in jail, the gang continued to function and it will operate now too," said CID Anti-Extremist Cell SSP Chaudhry Aslam.
"Maybe the gang will work better now because Pappu never listened to even his partners."
Aslam felt that Pappu always pursued money, which was affecting the gang.

Mo. man charged in trooper shooting, bank robbery
Sat, 21 Sep 2013 20:17:38 GMT —
An eastern Missouri man has been charged with robbing a bank and shooting a trooper while fleeing.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://is.gd/K2Whrr ) reports that 64-year-old Warren Gladders of Wentzville was charged Saturday in Warren County with first-degree assault against a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action, robbery in the first degree and possession of an illegal firearm.
Bail has been set at $500,000. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Gladders is accused of robbing the First Bank of Dutzow on Friday morning. Afterward, a witness provided a description of the getaway car. When Gladders was stopped, a shootout ensued near the St. Charles County town of New Mell.
Gladders was shot in both legs, and a bullet lodged in the bullet-proof vest of a trooper.

Diggers club slippery tiled ramp issue solved by Safe Grip
The floor safety review of this very well maintained Returned Services Leagues (RSL) club has highlighted some areas where potential slip and fall issue may arise. Pro-active management has engaged Global Safe Technologies to assess the situation and recommend approperiate sustainable solution.
One of the area that was identified was an extrenal tiled entrance section which consists of 2 landings and a sloping ramp. The slip resistance of the tiles that were originally laid has been reduced and management was looking for a longer term and cost effective slip resistive solution which will ensure compliance for several years.
Global Safe's floor safety representative after attending the site has suggested to employ the Safe Grip Ultimate product as anti slip strips with a maximum of 100 mm gap between strips. The gap between the strips is based on the recommendation of the findings of a study by the Victoria University, titled The Effect of a Slip-Resistant Floor Treatment ("Anti-Slip Strip") When Walking on an Oil Contaminated Surface with Two Types of Shoe. This product has been used sucessfully in several countries and provides a sustainable Pendulum Class V slip resistance.
Product sample and other relevant information was presented to club management.
The recommendation was accepted and the Global Safe team has carried out the work.
The project was completed within the specified constraints and the surface has beeen independently tested by a NATA accredited slip resistance company, Safe Environments. The mean average test result using the Wet Pendulum testing, was BPN 70, which provides a very high Pendulum Class V classification and full compliance.
Global Safe and its accredited applicators are the only floor safety providers on the market offering and independent slip resistance testing as part of of any commercial project.
Feedback from club management is excellent. They indicated their total satisfaction with the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism and decication of the application team during the entire project.
Global Safe Technologies provides sustainable, tailored anti-slip and non-slip floor finishes and tactile ground surface indicators.Learn more

The art of gold leafing dates back to the times of the Pharaohs. Gold leafing is a process in which artisans hammer gold until it has achieved thin layers. The layers are then applied over the item to give it the look of solid gold.
Probably the most famous example of this is the burial mask of King Tutankhamen or "King Tut." Not only the mask but several objects would be gold leafed. This is why the ancient burial chambers used to get looted by thieves and the thieves would in turn take the objects and peel the gold off them which then had the consistency or weight similar to tin foil. The gold would be melted down and resold.
Through the years, decades, and centuries up until today gold leafing has become a refined art form. The gold leaf has become the weight and thickness of feathers and is still used for application over picture frames and any given number of objects. This process is still very costly and time-consuming. As with everything else, this process is imitated to give an item the "look" of being gold leafed.
Being in the antiques and estate jewelry business, I have had several people approach me over the years regarding ceramic and glass objects being marked "24K gold trim" or "painted in solid 24K gold." There is a ring of truth as to the gold trim being 24K, but the amount of solid gold actually used is not worth the cost of a telephone call. Through the aid of modern technology, dishes and glassware can be elaborately decorated in gold paint.
Gold painted items–examples
I have shown a few 20th century examples of gold painting on china and glassware. The first is the Hawaiian souvenir dish from the 1980's being labeled on the front "24K gold trim". This gives the novice buyer self assurance of the item being of value and collectability.
The second piece is a 1930's oval dish with handles. It is marked "Pickard China 24K Gold." It looks very good and one would think that the gold alone on this dish is very valuable but it is actually worth about $10-$20.00.
Then we have American glassware from the 1950's with etched gold rims again worth about $10-$20.00 each. So if you have or see in your antiquing ventures that golden stamp of 24K, just remember that it is not the monetary value of the item being marked.
I hope this gives you some insight into gold leafing versus gold-painted wares.

EXCLUSIVE: Scotty T hints Steph and Jeremy got steamy post-final amid new cheating claims
CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER 2016 winner Scotty T has today suggested Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell got up to no good last night, just hours after the finale aired.
Scotty T has hinted that something happened between Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell last night
The Geordie Shore regular said the pair, who grew very close in the Elstree house, disappeared from the after party, however he is unsure if they'll become a couple in the future.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the 27-year-old claimed the pair were similar to himself and Megan McKenna, and therefore too "busy" to start a full-on romance.
When asked if he saw the pair becoming a couple, Scotty commented: "Erm… It's pretty much the same as me and Megan. Everyone's really busy."
However, the reality TV star added: "I'm sure something happened between them last night, I can't remember the last time I saw them!"
The Celebrity Big Brother winner said he doubted they'd have a romance
The Geordie Shore regular triumphed in the final yesterday
I'm sure something happened between them last night, I can't remember the last time I saw them!
During the interview, Scotty T also admitted he was left confused by the duo's feelings, especially in regards to ex-Hollyoaks star Stephanie, 22.
"She came in the house saying she wanted to marry Sam [Reece], and then all of sudden after she got with Jeremy, she was like 'well Sam cheated on me'.
"You never know if they're trying to make themselves not sound like the bad person. But I don't care, it's nothing to do with me anymore," he revealed.
The pair were seen arriving back at their hotel together
It comes after fans alleged that Jeremy had cheated on Stephanie - although their not technically a couple - during a nightclub appearance in Newcastle on Thursday, the Daily Mirror has stated.
One club promoter tweeted: "Heard @JezzaMcConnell wasn't so faithful last night in NCL… Oi @Stephdavis77, I'd be ringing @SamReece up for your relationship back!"
Another user, named Nicky Flynn, added: "ATTENTION: Jeremy CHEATED on Steph last night with a girl called Caroline Pope after doing a PA at Jungle, Newcastle #cbb."
Express.co.uk has contacted a spokesperson for the stars following these reports.
Stephanie however dismissed something happened

One of my favorite things about traveling internationally, besides the amazing food you find, is the vehicles. There are so many cool vehicles out there that will never (aside from the handful of specially imported ones) lay treads on American soil. One of those vehicles is the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series.
The 200 Series is the work truck version that can be had in Cab Chassis, Troop Carrier and Wagon forms but there has been significant demand for a more family-friendly variant by our friends down in Australia. This dual-cab varient will likely have the same 4.5 liter V-8 turbo diesel (I KNOW! I WANT ONE TOO!) that produces about 200 HP and 317 lb-ft while getting about 20 MPG!

Apparently the only two things I talk about are dumb hat slogans or 2003-->2008 transition exams. You are not alone if you are finding this increasingly tedious. But back to business:
RE: Hat slogans, try this on for size.
RE: Transition exams, the prep guides have been updated to (hopefully) provide better information about what is covered.
- http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-648.mspx
- http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-649.mspx
Apparently the only thing YOU talk about is your beta scores (that's right, the Road of Tedium runs both ways, my friends!). Here is what I know: my friend Dave, the Server portfolio manager, scurried by earlier looking for info on scores, went down the hall and heckled all the right people, and came back to tell me, in a glum fashion, that it's true they haven't been scored yet. In the meantime, Keep Clam, pls k thx.

Years ago, I used to think there was an outside force which would help me get better at my craft. Call it what you will—a muse, a mentor—it seemed to me to be all-powerful and decisive. It would sweep my photographic self off her feet and fly her to a level from where I could make grand leaps in skill and artistry. I waited for this entity with a stash of If Only's stuffed in my camera bag with the rest of the gear.
If Only a photographer more knowledgeable than I would take me under her wing.
If Only I had that dude's camera and lens I would make a better picture.
If Only I had more time, I could be brilliant.
If Only I bought this or that gadget I would create stunning stuff.
If Only. If Only. If Only.
It wasn't until I stopped listening to the If Only's that I finally could leave the plateau I was perched on and start climbing new peaks.
The key was to use both eyes.
I'm not talking about squinting with the one eye that is not looking through the viewfinder and finally opening it while taking photos. I'm talking about opening the physical eye, the one that is looking out at the physical world, and opening the inner eye, the one that examines what it is I mean to say with those photos.
The breakthrough was not another workshop, another piece of gear, another trip to some exotic place.
The breakthrough was the realization that the source of those leaps I could make with artistry and skill were within me. I really wasn't paying attention. I was waiting for an external force to change how I see, when all I had to do was lose the anticipation for some artistic liberator, and free myself to an attentiveness to what was around me.
Cartier-Bresson once said, "You just have to live life, and life will give you pictures.†I found out, when I started paying attention, that if you're interested, life becomes more interesting, and so do the photos.
There is no easy, comfortable place to sit and wait for good photos to happen. There is only the hard climb, paying attention every step of the way, and learning. Learning is about change, so it's never really easy. But what this hard work does is that it gives you the focus you need to receive what comes when you pay attention.
And usually, that means seeing something remarkable.

The Gold Coast Guineas 2016 is one of the major races running for A.D. Hollindale Stakes Day this Saturday in Queensland, betting tips for the three-years-old clash found below.
This year's $125,000 Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas (1200m) is the card closer at the Coast on the weekend due to jump at 4:20pm (AEST) on the eight-race program.
A capacity field will line-up in the Guineas this year, but despite the bumper line-up just two sit under double figures in the latest markets at Ladbrokes.com.au with Takedown ($3.40) and Santa Ana Lane ($3.50) fighting for favouritism.
The Gary Moore-trained Stratum gelding Takedown comes off a brave third to Japonisme in the Group 2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) in Sydney while the Lee & Anthony Freedman-trained Santa Ana Lane rises in class for this on the back of a third in non-Black Type company at Randwick on April 16.
Outside the top two the next best in betting are Mick Dittman runner-up at the Sunshine Coast a fortnight back Sold for Song ($11) and the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Stratum filly Brigadoon Rise ($12) before the markets open right up.
So do the bookies have it right or will there be an upset Gold Coast Guineas result on Saturday from the likes of the super-consistent local Snitzel colt Big Tree ($17) or the Robert Heathcote-trained Mossmang gelding Privlaka ($16)?
Join now to bet with
#1 Takedown ($3.40)
The firming favourite really does look hard to beat. Barrier five is ideal and jockey Tim Clark has experience on the galloper when runner-up first-up in a Listed Randwick spring in early March. The Arrowfield third was very brave, Takedown beaten just over half-a-length by a proven Group 1 winner from Waller's stable. He'll relish an easier field here over the same distance and should salute for the punters.
#5 Privlaka ($16)
Like the price on this Brisbane-trained son of Mossman who has had just one luckless run at the track when ninth in the Group 3 Vo Rogue (1300m) on Boxing Day. He was still only three lengths off the winner and bounced back winning his next two starts in January. Last time out was fourth in the Mick Dittman from the outside alley (14 of 14), gets a smoother run here from a nice gate three draw and will also enjoying getting back up to 1200m.
#2 Big Tree ($17)
Another Mick Dittman placegetter at big odds for this weekend. Locally trained at the Gold Coast, Big Tree has won his sole start at the track and also saluted over the distance at Doomben two back. Ultra-consistent, on the improve getting back up to 1200m off the 1000m run that he likely found a touch sharp, and will be finishing right on their heels over the closing stages.

Go Swim set to make a big splash on the Isle of Wight
An unsigned Northern Ireland band who recently supported Kaiser Chiefs at Feile have been selected to play at this year's Bestival on the Isle of Wight.
Go Swim, a self-produced four-piece, will perform on the highly-esteemed, talent-scouting BBC Introducing stage.
Championing the finest new music and fresh talent, selected artists for BBC Introducing stages have all gained extensive BBC radio coverage and been judged by an top panel including producers and presenters from across the BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 1Xtra and 6Music networks.
Go Swim, with their shimmering guitars, boy/girl dual harmonies, driven bass and bouncing drums, have been placed high up the bill, with a 5.10pm slot on Sunday, September 7. The band is made up of energetic frontman Steven Smith, guitarist and vocalist Julianne Shawe, guitarist Des Hesketh, and drummer and producer Stefan Malecki.
Steven said: "There are so many bands on the line-up that have influenced us, most notably Foals, who played the BBC Introducing stage in 2007 and are this year's headliners."
Likened to Bombay Bicycle Club, Foals and Northern Ireland's Two Door Cinema Club, Go Swim released debut EP Animal in June 2014 to rave reviews.

When President Obama named Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr., a Republican, as ambassador to China last week, the appointment was greeted with cheers. Another Republican would bolster Obama's promise of bipartisanship. Democrats and Republicans praised Huntsman's obvious qualifications--from fluency in Mandarin to being the father of a girl adopted from China to having actually lived in China and served as ambassador to Singapore. Some saw the hand of Rahm Emanuel for in a pick as smart as Hillary for Secretary of State, Obama was bringing his potential 2012 rivals inside the tent. (Huntsman regularly appeared on the wish list of Republican presidential nominees; perhaps he was the Republicans' ticket back to the White House.)
Last March I posted here that Obama's probable pick for the most prestigious of ambassadorships--the Court of St. Jame's- was going to Chicagoan and retired investment banker Louis B. Susman. Susman, 71, is so talented at raising money for Democrats--he was John Kerry's national finance chairman and an early money man for Obama--that he was nicknamed "the Vacuum Cleaner" or "the Hoover" during the Kerry campaign, and "the Big Bundler" during the Obama campaign.
The Washington Post had tipped the choice of Susman in February; Mike Sneed, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist, had tipped it in March.
Having interviewed Susman in his Chicago office in 2006 when he was vice chairman of Citigroup Global Markets--he retired last February--I weighed in here with my observations on the man.
I described the outrage among British journalists and pundits who felt that Susman wasn't worthy of the job--and that his choice was another in a series of Obama insults to the Brits (removing a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office, etc.).
When the Guardian of London and then CNN reported on May 21 that diplomatic documents had been submitted to and approved by Buckingham Palace and an announcement of Susman's appointment was imminent, I decided to take another look at how the news was greeted in England.
The British press remains outraged:
The Daily Telegraph headlined its brief report, "Ultimate prize for `Vacuum Cleaner'"
This is how The Guardian lead its report on the Susman selection:
A little bit of Chicago's ruthless and combative political machine is soon to descend on the decorous calm of the Court of St James. Despite promising to end cronyism in Washington, Barack Obama is about to appoint one of his home town friends and financial backers to the plum London posting. The next ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary will be Louis Susman, a lawyer and financier with little experience of foreign affairs." The paper noted that Obama seemed to be breaking his promise "to offer more of the top jobs to demoralized career diplomats.
The Guardian did concede that for three years Susman served on the state department's advisory commission on public diplomacy and that he is active in the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
Susman is a respected figure in Chicago--he was born and bred in St. Louis and arrived in Chicago in 1989--and his critics do not doubt his intelligence and energy, but some complain that he is a name dropper--he dropped many during my interview with him-- and social climber.
His days of dropping names and/or social climbing are likely over. Others will want to court him as he dines at Downing Street and Buckingham Palace, as he entertains at his new home, Winfield House, with 35 rooms on twelve acres in Regent's Park.
Some of those critics will undoubtedly be dropping his name because, assuming he wins Senate approval, he appears to have climbed almost as high as anyone could hope to go.
One thing has to be said for Lou Susman that cannot be said for all money men turned ambassadors: at least he speaks the language.

When teams lose it is always a good idea to go over the good points so you are getting as much out of the game as possible – event though I admit it's much easier to just draw a line under the defeat and move onto the next game.
Watching Arsenal lose to Chelsea it is easy to just write the game off as a strong Chelsea display – but I thought it was strong Arsenal display with Chelsea showing strength up front. Here the disappointment for Arsenal was losing but the upside for England as well as Arsenal was the display of Jack Wilshere – a young English player of immense talent.
Since coming to Arsenal under Arsene Wenger Wilshere has developed into a player with great maturity and technically excellent qualities. When he is on the ball he can use his vision to dispatch the pass with speed and simplicity. He will also immediately take up another position to receive the next pass – something I am continually striving to attain with my young players.
The next couple of seasons will be big ones for Wilshere and Arsenal and he could be the key to them winning a title or Champions League in the near future.

Kristen Bell & Toby Keith Set to Host the CMT Awards
Actress and apparent country-music fan Kristen Bell is set to co-host next month's 11th Annual CMT Awards with nominee and genre legend Toby Keith. "Country music makes me happy," Bell told People.com of her upcoming gig, adding that she is thrilled at the prospect of encountering one of her favorite singers, Miranda Lambert.
Seven-time winner Keith, meanwhile, said, "It's an honor to get that call." It'll be his second time hosting the ceremony alongside a big-name celeb with seemingly no ties to country music: In 2003, he co-hosted with Pamela Anderson.
Fans are able to vote for their favorite country artists through June 4 online. Winners will be announced at the main event, which will air live June 6 on CMT and feature performances by Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, lead nominee Carrie Underwood and many more.

After playing open beta for weekend I noticed that softcore character on normal and hardcore char on normal difficulty is about the same except that hardcore normal mobs were more agressive (i.e. dont stop chasing you). I wonder how will it be like playing normal and hardcore characters on higher difficulties.
Can anyone share more info on this?

One year anniversary of DADT's end is celebrated in New York City
A celebration honoring US military, veterans, and the end of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'
Last night, 18 Sept, the Intrepid Museum in New York City was filled with military personnel, cadets, midshipmen veterans, and the glitteratti to celebrate the one year anniversary of the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
'Tonight is a celebration of a great achievement,' said former Rep. Patrick Murphy. He sponsored DADT repeal legislation in 2010.
In 1992, then candidate Bill Clinton promised to end a US military policy that discharged gay and lesbian troops. In 1993, President Clinton signed a compromise that become as 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' Despite its title, LGBT troops were still kicked out of the service if their sexuality was discovered. According to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, one of the sponsors of last night's event, 14,000 troops have been removed from the US armed forces under DADT.
Like Clinton, President Barack Obama campaigned on abolishing the policy. In late 2010, he signed the bill repealing DADT, and on 20 Sept. 2011 the guidelines were officially over.
Last night's event, called Celebrating Our Heroes: A Tribute to America's Service Members & Veterans, was sponsored by SLDN, OutServe, and the Interbank Roundtable Committee (IRC). The evening was also an opportunity to honor Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 2010 Feb., Mullen testified before the US Senate Armed Services Committee as the policy was being debated.
'No matter how I look at the issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.' Mullen said to the senators. 'For me, it comes down to integrity – theirs as individuals and ours as an institution.'
In his speech, Mullen took as little credit as possible. Instead he pointed to the assembled as the reason why LGBT troops can now serve openly.
'It was you who paved the way,' the former chairman said.
Below are photos from last night's event.
