Once Again, They're Snickering About Us in Europe
Your Nov. 10 editorial "Losing Petraeus" is excellent. Europeans are once again laughing at our naivete about politicians and their love affairs. Throughout history, many top-level politicians have had extramarital affairs without damaging their careers or reputations. In more recent times, Franklin Roosevelt and Bill Clinton are examples. Eventually Americans will have to face that a man's private life has nothing to do with his public duties—unless there is security threat to the nation. In Gen. David Petraeus's case, the FBI should have quietly investigated the contents of the emails and other communication to see whether they did or did not contain privileged information. If nothing was revealed, then a public mea culpa by Gen. Petraeus would have sufficed, the affair would have ended and been forgotten in a few months, and the country would still have the services of an exceptional man. Evidently, forgiveness is not an American trait.
Carla Wallach
Greenwich, Conn.
In addressing the unfortunate situation of Gen. Petraeus, you raise the question of whether "an indispensable man could be forgiven personal sins." The full compartmentalization of public and private life is a precarious balance rarely ever achieved in practice. The fact is, our personal character, formed from the decisions we make day after day, accompanies us wherever we go. In a position such as the directorship of the CIA, which requires the utmost discretion and integrity, a manifest lack of integrity in the personal sphere is bound to raise serious reservations. This isn't a matter of being morally straitjacketed so much as a simple recognition that human nature remains the same both in and out of uniform. Patterns of irresponsibility at home may bleed through into the workplace. In an office of such consequence, that is a risk of global proportions.

The PFW staff brings you its late-week fantasy tips for quarterbacks, including the latest on Michael Vick, Mark Sanchez and Philip Rivers, who could get off to a hot start against the Raiders.
Chargers QB Philip Rivers will likely be playing the 2012 season with a chip on his shoulder after throwing 20 picks in 2011, and that's bad news for a new group of Raiders cornerbackers. Rivers completed 19-of-26 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns in Oakland in last year's season finale and he has a rejuvenated Antonio Gates and new receivers to work with. The Raiders, who finished 27th against the pass in 2011, don't figure to be a whole lot better vs. the pass.
Michael Vick (ribs) will be wearing a Kevlar flak jacket to protect him against the Browns in the opener, and it will be interesting to see what the results are, whether it affects his mobility or movement in the pocket or throwing motion. We expect him to be mostly untrammeled and to have a good game against a shorthanded Browns defense in Cleveland.
Mark Sanchez, the second-most talked about Jets quarterback, had success against the Bills last season, throwing four touchdown passes in a Week 12 win and completing a season-high 71.4 percent of his passes in a Week Nine win. Sanchez will be the first QB to test a pair of young Buffalo corners — rookie Stephon Gilmore and second-year CB Aaron Williams. The Jets' offense was abysmal in the preseason, but it has had success against Buffalo.
Ravens QB Joe Flacco had a solid preseason at the helm of a no-huddle attack that could be an offensive staple for Baltimore in 2012. The Bengals' secondary is rounding into form, and Flacco is a solid starting option in two-QB formats — and even deeper one-QB leagues.
In his last matchup with Denver, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw for 289 yards with one TD and one pick in Pittsburgh's wild-card loss. Of note: Roethlisberger — then fighting an ankle injury — was sharp in the second half, completing 11-of-17 passes for 155 yards. He's very much a reasonable starting option in Week One.
Bengals QB Andy Dalton threw for a career-high 373 yards at Baltimore last November, and he's not a bad option in two-QB formats this week.
- Philip Rivers
- Mark Sanchez
- Michael Vick

The basic process of DJing is to seamlessly mix the playing track into the next track. And to do this successfully, you need to be able to pre-listen or cue the next track in your headphones to make sure it's beatmatched and sounding great for the dance floor.
Since your Mac, iPad, iPhone, or Android device only has a single audio jack, you can use one of the following two solutions to simultaniously connect both a speaker system and headphones for pre-cueing.
DJ Cable lets you cue up your next track in the headphones independently of what's playing through the speakers.
Made specially for djay, DJ Cable is wired to enable djay's Split Output function for pre-cueing. It now also features gold connectors for improved conductivity and better signal, as well as a braided exterior for durability.
DJ Connect allows you to pre-cue your music and beat-mix with additional volume control and separate dual stereo outputs.
DJ Connect works with any iOS device and any Mac running OS X 10.6 or higher, and comes with all of the cables you need: a Lightning-connector cable, a 30-pin dock connector cable and a USB cable for cueing with djay app on your Mac.

Hi all and welcome to the 2nd part of my trip report. This part will focus on the rest of the cruise and some aviation highlights.
For those who did not see the first part the link is here :
Norwegian Cruise Lines + Aer Lingus +EI GC Lounge. (by OA260 May 8 2012 in Trip Reports)
Our stops along the way were to be Madeira-Tenerife-Lanzarote-Malaga before returning to Barcelona.
I had never been to Lanzarote believe it or not and had always wanted to see it . I love Madeira so this would be my third time there.
After departing Barcelona we has two lovely relaxing days at sea so this is where I will commence part 2 :
Gareth and I decided to attend a Q&A with the Finnish Captain we christened him ''Cruising Finn'' . Yes P we thought of you lol...
He answered alot of questions about the ship and also touched on the Costa Concordia disaster being very careful with his words. Gareth asked him some technical questions and got a good response.
After an hour it was time to explore the ship some more. Just as we left and were in the atrium I realised I had lost my iPhone ! I suddenly realised I had left it on the seat in the lounge during the talk. I could feel the sick sensation rising as Gareth quickly ran back to the lounge to see if it was still there. I knew it was very touch and go if I would ever see it again and feared the worst.
Just then Gareth came running back with it and I was so glad . I could now relax again . Thanks Gareth
Plenty of things to do onboard :
Pool BBQ :
Time for a snack
After a lazy day we decided to visit the Moderno for dinner . We were promised a unique dining experience.
Basically it is a Brazillian style steakhouse and they keep coming round with all these different meats. You have a card . One side Green one Side Red. When you had enough you turn it over to Red.
Anyway after doing the meal as much justice as we could it was time to turn the card to red and roll out
We then decided to get some sleep ready for the next days arrival in Madeira .
We arrived early and the port was a familiar site to us as we had ended our last cruise there the previous year.
Gareth and I decided to do our own thing rather then take expensive tours. So we got up had breakfast and made our way off the ship.
We decided to take the cable car first as we knew that would become busy later .
Some previous visitors .
The TAP office :
Lovely views of the ship . We got speaking to a couple who were in the car with us and it turns out he was a BMI Diamond Club member. He said he had alot of miles in his account so we advised him to use them ASAP

FSF in Round Two Against Software Patents
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is persisting in its worldwide battle against software patents with comprehensive background information and has hired lobbyist Ciaran O'Riordan to fight the next round.
Round one is now over and FSF is entering round two "in re Bilski" that we covered in November 2008, in which a U.S. court of appeals handed down a ruling redefining software patenting. By many expert and FOSS activist opinions, the ruling is ground-breaking for new legislation that can challenge software patents, at least in the U.S.
The FSF wants to provide the material assembled in its defense to worldwide patent activists and has issued an EndSoftwarePatents.org website to give it a well structured and organized platform. The foundation has now hired lobbyist Ciaran O'Riordan to be head of the project. Having been employed by FSF Europe, the native Irishman brings years of anti-patent activist experience. O'Riordan sees the software activists as well-armed: "We have the arguments and the studies to show how software patents harm competition, choice, innovation, SMEs, standards, and entrepreneurs." His recent experience has led him to one conclusion: "We've seen how inefficient, slow, and costly the patent system is -- how incompatible it is with software development timelines."
EndSoftwarePatents.org is positioned to gather multilateral ammunition against patents, among it business management attitudes and assessments as well as legal considerations.The available E.U. documents as well as the U.S. ones in the Bilski case should provide the initial support, with the team working globally to make it "easily reusable." O'Riordan explains the task at hand: "There's a mountain of information, but a bottleneck is that much of it is contained in electronic archives... in news stories, and unmaintained websites. By organizing this information and delivering it into the hands of activists and lawmakers, we can form an immense tool to help existing and future campaigns around the world."
The FSF is financing the EndSoftwarePatents.org project through donations. The website already contains resources for lawyers, with the motto "The fight is not yet over."

There were scenes of jubilation across the region this weekend as it was announced that the tiny state of Qatar had won the bid to host the Fifa World Cup in 2022. Equally, I'm sure, scenes of bafflement in the UK.
So let's get this straight: despite bids from the United States, Japan, South Korea and Australia, the second largest sporting event in the world after the Olympics is to be hosted indoors, in a country the size of a Malteser, in the middle of the baking-hot desert, by a load of oil-rich "sheikhs" who know nothing about football, own Harrods, believe in polygamy and are taking over the West with their oil money, their halal food and their Sharia law.
Hmm. It's going to be a great opportunity to dispel some of those Middle Eastern myths. Here are a few things you possibly didn't know about Qatar:
- Qataris are football-mad. The first Qatari football club was set up in 1948; there are now 20 clubs, and the national football team is ranked in the top 100 in Fifa's world rankings. A visit to a Qatari football match is unlike a trip to Charlton Athletic: you'll hear Arabic football chants shouted to the sound of drums. And nobody will be drunk.
- It's quite likely that your taxi will be driven by a Qatari (having witnessed at first hand the quality of the driving, I'm not sure if that's a good thing). Unlike in the UAE, where expats are brought in to do badly paid jobs, Qataris do actually hold "normal" jobs.
- Doha is only 55 minutes flight from Dubai – many expats live in Dubai and commute to work in Qatar. Perhaps some football fans will choose to do the same; there are, after all, a lot more bars in Dubai – and a chance to buy five bottles of Duty Free to keep in the hotel wardrobe every time you fly into the UAE.
- If it gets too hot outside, the spa at the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha has an ice room. Yes, really. Officially, it's for closing pores after a heat treatment such as a stint in the sauna or laconium room, but I'm sure it'd be just as good for reducing blood pressure after your team's defeat.
- Qatar has an "Inland Sea" – between matches, fans could take a rollercoaster four-wheel-drive ride through gigantic desert dunes to search for the native but rare dugongs (sea cows) in the crystal-clear waters of this sand-surrounded inlet.
- You can buy your dinner live (or be put off eating meat forever) at Doha's animal souq, where goats, cows, sheep and camels are traded. If you've never seen a bird that's worth more than your car, you may be able to do so just around the corner at the falcon souq – but only if it's got any well-mannered birds for sale (they cost more than recalcitrant ones).
- Without a residents' alcohol licence, alcohol can only be bought in five-star hotels and is not cheap. The average price of a pint of lager in a Doha bar is approximately £5.85.
- And last, but not least, it's illegal to be drunk in public. Although World Cup planners have said "Fun Zones" will be created for the event, I wouldn't like to be caught slurring my words or mooning a policeman outside of a specially created Fun Zone. Or even inside one come to think of it.

Neuromonics or TRT??????
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Hey, there is a web blog out there of a man who tried Neuromonics out of desperation and he feels way worse:
Having an audiologist who barely knows what he or she is doing could actually hurt us -
This is part of our battle -
Look at his symptoms and how he got worse -
I am hoping no one repeats this guy's history - we are suffering enough -
Let me know what you think
Are you doing Neuromonics and getting better?
A person I will be seeing for TRT is gagaga over Neuromonics - they think it is the cure -
Man, I am scared - I may have to leave the state to get good TRT
This is a biased post so please - any information is power - and opens our eyes

I don't know if I'm right or not but when I read your posts regarding TRT I get the feeling that you are pinning all your hopes on this one treatment working. Maybe because of the amount of money it will cost you and that in itself is a big worry because it's so expensive.
I hate to think that because you are so desparate for this to work, that it might have the opposite effect. I think you need to make an informed choice on which treatment would be better for you and go with that.
Just because a treatment hasn't worked for someone else doesn't mean it won't help you. I think also that your state of mind has to play a very big part in how you deal with your treatment. I would imagine that you have to have a positive mental and emotional attitude or this is not going to work. TRT I believe is the best way forward for T sufferers. I do believe it's an emotional response that makes T worse. If you go into this with a negative view you may be not allowing yourself to be as open as possible to the very therapy thats there to help you.
I am in no way an expert on this at all. I just felt that you were stressing about the whole thing before it had even started.
Best wishes mandie. You will be ok I'm sure of it.

I tried neuromonics last year and my T was made worse by it whenever I used it, and I returned the device. I believe it is due to my reactive tinnitus. I didn't want to take the risk. The device was also unable to blend with my tinnitus at all during phase 1. It appears TRT has a longer track record than neuromonics, but it takes longer. The problem is that a 30 day trial for either approach isn't enough time for one to notice the benefits. I can tolerate my behind the ear sound generators better than the sond from the IPOD like TRT device. The sound tracks do get old after a period of time.
I talked to Dr Jack Vernon, a noted authority on tinnitus about neuromonics, and he said he will not endorse the device, since all the clinical tests have some one involved who works for neuromonics. Until they get a totally unbiased clinical test, he won't endorse it. I don't think he's a big fan of TRT either.
The noise generators do provide a sense of relief for me, since you get used to the noise they make and you wear them all day exposing your brain to the stimulus longer.
I guess the folks who get benefit from the device don't post on tinnitus forums. An audiologist in Nashville said she had a hearing aid patient that uses it during the evenings after he takes his hearing aids out.

I have to agree 100% with Macken on this. It's all about the reaction and your emotional preparedness.

I appreciate the feedback. My tinnitus in the last month went way higher in pitch. I have tried many herbs and pharmaceuticals - it sounds like a tea kettle.
The lady I am going to see - right now she is really excited about Neuromonics and she has advertised in our local paper about it curing tinnitus.
I am hoping that I can be like Jesse and others - to stick with the TRT and not get talked into Neuromonics.
I think what makes Neuromonics attractive - it is a shorter duration in treatment and all you have to do is sit with an ipod hooked to your pants two or three hours a day and then put it in a drawer and go on your way.
I tried so hard to find positive reviews for Neuromonics - but I could find no independent testimonies on it - the testimonies were always connected to a particular audiologist or Neuromonics representative so called publishing the raves from happy customers -
but I could not find any independent observation on its success - but it has only been out for less than three years
So I started this thread to see if tinnitus sufferers surfing the web would catch on and post how they did with Neuromonics - because that would be independent of the Neuromonics people.
I am trying and also praying to find out all I can before I get in front of that woman and right now - I could get talked to anything -
So I wanted to have my facts straight so I would ask the right questions - like why would an audiologist want a person to do Neuromonics instead of TRT?
Why would Neuromonics work better? Is it a time investment? Is that what it all comes down to? Six months to a year - two hours a day versus 12 waking hours a day seven days a week - 18 to 24 months?
I can understand why people would jump on the Neuromonics train because they might think they will spend less time in tinnitus prison.
JESSE: How are you doing on TRT? I would love to hear about your experiences - I go to a TRT/Neuromonics audiologist in two weeks - I almost want to cut and run now -
If it wasn't a tea kettle -I would probably not do this. Thanks Mandy for talking to me - everyone is right about the emotional state of mind - I habituated to my first tinnitus - but this last round put me on my butt - I finally broke down and now will try to do TRT -
I just wanted to habituate on my own - that higher pitch that replaced the lower one - it feels like my head is vibrating - man, oh man, oh man....

Hey Mandie,
Right now, you have a signal lock on your T. You're like a seeker missle and you have lock. You're consumed by it.
So, as much as you say you've read about TRT, and the 200 or so articles/books, you ought to be prepared for the counseling session(s) that are ahead of you. You're going to have to take all that head knowledge you say you have and apply it. It ultimately comes down to BELIEVING it. Until you do, TRT won't do a lick of good for you. The WNGs will supply a measure of relief, but if you want to habituate, you have to believe that T is not going to hurt you. That's the essence of TRT counseling.
BTW, I'm doing alright. My ear is acting up today, but it's not a tinnitus thing per se. More of a blocked/full feeling that's bugging me.

I'll try to make this brief...
I saw a well respected audiologist back in early March. She both offered TRT and Neuronomics and has had success with both when mixed with counseling. Her name is Dr. Gail Brenner. She also advised to stay away from constantly visiting support sites...misery loves miserable company. Misery also loves helpful sympathic support for self-pity's sake. I'm not accusing you of this but beware. I think there's a several reasons live support groups meet only once a month or once every three months.
The fact is that you probably know more and have done more research on tinnitus than most if not all audiologists. By contributing to and visiting these sites you have real valid experiences from many real tinnitus sufferers. Guys don't usually say this to girls (assuming that I'm a guy and you're a girl) but go with your gut. TRT is more proven than Neuronomics and this is what your gut tells you.?... My gut is telling me that the tuna with the roasted peppers was not the wisest choice for lunch today. Plain brocolli and plain carrot sticks might have been a better choice but so would have not playing guitar in a rock band in my youth.
I have a mild spinal cord injury since 2001. I'm far from diasabled. I thought that my symptoms were terrible and I couldn't go on... A neurologist who was a friend of a friend said something like this to me years ago, "Did you see the people in my waiting room(severly disabled)? I know I'm not supposed to minimize a patients suffering but because you're a friend I'm going to say...what is it to that young woman with parkinsons that you can't swing a golf club as well as you used to and your leg burns when you wear jeans?"
What is it really that my ears ring. I can hear that high pitch "eeEeEEee" while standing with my feet in the ocean, waves crashing, and sea gulls singing. I hardly notice the sirens of the cops coming to get me because I'm in the full "monte" and didn't know I was not on that kind of beach.
Really, for too long I thought my tinnitus was worse than it actually was and now I might think it's better than it is, but I'll choose thinking better. It ain't easy and tinnitus is a huge daily hurdle for me and I have a limp. I wear an ear masker (like TRT) and if I have to wear this for the rest of my life, okay. TRT probably will not work so well for me because I've had tinnitus for about 30 years. I wear the maskers because I find white noise more pleasant to listen to. Maskers or combo maskers with a hearing aid maybe of real benefit to you. Maybe rTMS or a future pharamcutical may be of benefit to you. I think you're really half okay and maybe you don't know it but you're on par with the rest us humans (only that you hear a different soundtract to your life than most, so do all of us)...
I hope something here helps you.

Thanks for taking the time to speak to me. When I decided to do TRT - I realized that it would be at least $6000.00. When I realized that Neuromonics is competing with TRT and that audiologists are pushing both - I realized that before I sat down with this woman, I had to figure some things out because I can't try out Neuromonics - let them take $5000.00 from me and then come back and try TRT and give them $6000.00. The money is just not laying around - I once daydreamed that if I was rich, I would do both at the same time -
But I will have to go into debt to do this - I guess i am worried about compromising financial health chasing a dream....
So I started researching the heck out of this - because I figured that once I agreed to this therapy - I would have at least one year - 12 months - of doing everything I am told even when it is driving me crazy.
I don't think the tinnitus sound hurts me physically - but by the end of the day, I feel so exhausted and have a headache every night - I notice my brain loves the sound of a running faucet, the generator in the fridge and a box fan - if I give it one of these things - during the time I have the sound going, I will not hear tinnitus -
But if I sit in a quiet room with my family to watch a movie - it is louder than the TV - it is louder than music I listen to - etc., etc.
I have tried to understand what my brain wants - you know - because it really goes for some things - while only be annoyed by other things.
I have a significant hearing loss in both ears - of high frequencies - I cannot hear them anymore - so I keep wondering -
Is my brain desperately trying to compensate for its losses - is it annoyed with me because I have not done anything to help it?
So, anyway, I am trying to prepare myself for TRT - I understand from some people - that walking around with those WNG's all day - the brain wants out of the procedure - some say when they survive to week 12 of the whole thing, they suddenly started to see why this could work -
I look forward to the counseling because NO ONE I have seen so far has wanted to talk about it - they said it's because you're going deaf - now wear your hearing aids and get on with life - I was in and out of every doctor's office I ever saw including the best ENT's here - they wanted me out fast once they pinpointed my hearing loss - even my audiologist said, "most people adjust - so will you..." He even said, "I know how this can happen that is why I wear ear protection on everything..." I have left all these offices $100.00 poorer and even more depressed
My family won't left me talk about it anymore - the subject is changed the minute I get on it - I have stopped talking to anyone about it -
I quit going to church, quit going out and things are just getting worse for me emotionally - so I am hoping I get good counseling about this -
I come here a lot - you guys are the only ones who will let me even talk.

If you have hearing loss in both ears, a good TRT clinician will provide you with combo devices that will provide you with a hearing aid and WNG.

Absolutely Jesse, that is why I held off on TRT - my local audiologist told me that did not make digital hearing aids with the white noise - they only made the old fashioned ones - I knew I had to have a good hearing aid because without them - I see your lips moving and I miss half of what you say - can you imagine me trying to function in the world always saying, "what?" "what?" and then try to watch a movie with the volume on 30 while everyone else thinks 17 is comfortable - you are at odds with the hearing world when your hearing goes - everything is constructed for good hearing - so I researched getting a digital aid with the white noise - and found a person in Houston who then contacted her dispenser and they have a TRT person here in South Carolina -
So the whole thing before committing to the counseling - driving two hours each way - investing in the instruments - I have to hear properly - you forget how much good hearing serves you - you go to teacher meetings, you answer your door, you answer your phone, you go to the movies - you go to church - you have dinner with your friend - and with my loss - human speech becomes unintelligible - so what you do when you don't have your aids - is you are always looking for ways to wing it - and fake it - but people pick up on it - "you're deaf!" So yeah, I have to invest in the right instruments right off the bat or this will be even harder -
Can you imagine just hearing the white noise - you're already deaf - and now you can't understand anyone? That would put someone close to throwing in the towel for sure -
So Jesse's right - I have got to get the combo - even driving is dangerous when you don't hear properly -
But I have been trying to educate myself as much as possible - because I want to figure out what is my personal best - what is best for me to do - and I can't just throw money at this and then not follow through or cut and run and try something else - I think also, if I do this right - I will probably succeed -
A couple of articles I have read have emphasized you have to follow the protocol carefully - you can't do something like this halfway -
I would like to thank everyone who has written me - you know- and shared with me - because I wanted to mentally prepare for this - I understand all the appointments - the WNG's in your ears - the psychological refocusing - the whole nine yards take an investment -
I try to think of this whole thing as sort of like other treatments - sometimes you get worse at first to get better later - that is why I have looked into it so thoroughly -
God bless you guys, Mandie

I have been using Oasis device for 3 months. The first thing I noticed was that the ringing became equal in right and left ears. It has always been louder in the left. Somehow this felt better. Kind of like a balanced stereo. My T is very high 12K which is about the upper limit for using this device. It certainly helps when I am wearing it. The music got a bit tiresome but then I just stopped noticing it. So at this point I am pretty positive on it.

Jan 17 2008Lightsaber Lamp Gets Knocked Over Easily
Star Wars Lightsaber Lamps are made by NCSX and cost $23. They stand 16" tall, come in green or red and run off AAA batteries. You know what else they run off? Your girlfriend, because she won't stick around long if you start decorating your pad with these things. Actually, that might not be entirely true. If you keep one as a bedside lamp, you may be able to introduce her to the pleasure of the dark side. If you catch my drift. Did you catch it? No? I'm saying use it as a dildo.

But that would be impossible, as any star wars aficionado knows the heat and cutting ability would just slice through any girls private areas. They are not toys. They are serious jedi weapons. These are not the droids you are looking for.
16" tall? So it's like a midget-saber? Or I guess I could use it, I usually use small things to try to compensate...
Other thoughts: whatever #1 said.
Whatever #2 and #1 said...

I took a look at some questions here at stack overflow like this & mix10 building your own mvvm framework
I wonder if as a beginner its better to start from scratch (but I heard from the vid, its not recommended) or use a framework
also which is more suited as a beginner framework to learn? I find that after reading quite a few articles or even tutorial videos I am still quite lost. I may get parts here and there but still not there.
caliburn micro a smaller framework easy to learn? or something from microsoft like MVVM toolkit or Unity/Prism (whats the diff bet all this MS frameworks btw)? MVVM Light?

Lesser of evils
One question from a World Journalism Institute student: Should Christians in some circumstances choose the lesser of evils? I pointed out that the Bible is full of such choosing. For example, chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles shows Satan inciting King David to sin, and God responding by letting David choose the lesser of evils: three years of famine, three months of devastation by enemies, or three days of pestilence. When God then sends the pestilence, 70,000 Israelites die.
Starting with Abraham, the Old Testament provides other examples of God responding to sin by leaving us only with a choice among evils. To rescue his nephew, Abraham chooses to fight alongside the King of Sodom. To protect his wife and himself, Abraham twice chooses to lie (at best half-lie) to the rulers of Egypt and Gerar. Later, Jeremiah prophecies that Judah's leaders can choose between surrendering to Babylon and seeing Jerusalem burned with fire. (They foolishly choose the latter.)
A modern chronicler might show Satan inciting Hitler. The resultant World War led to tens of millions of deaths, but it was the lesser of evils, given that the choice was between resisting Nazis and surrendering to them.
President Harry Truman had to choose between dropping nuclear bombs on Japan and sending an invasion force. Given that the battle for Iwo Jima early in 1945 had concluded with 7,000 dead Americans and 19,000 Japanese soldiers having fought to their death-only 216 chose to live as prisoners-it seemed likely that an invasion of Japan would yield a death toll in the millions. Truman said, "Drop the bombs."
Later, the Cold War was the lesser of evils, given that the choice was containing the Soviet Union or surrendering to Communism. We don't know at this point whether war in Iraq was the lesser of evils, and continuation of Saddam Hussein's regime the greater, but it seemed that way to many in 2003, especially when we believed reports about WMDs.
Motown singer Edwin Starr had half of a good point in 1970 when he asked what war is good for, and emphatically responded, "Absolutely nothing." True-except that other things are sometimes worse than nothing.

From 'Miracle Babies' to five terrific teens
In the beginning, people called them "The Miracle Babies," which is as good a title as any for a set of quintuplets born 11 weeks premature and each one weighing in under three pounds. Nearly 16 years later, the three sons and two daughters of Lily Zulueta-Reyes and Arnold Reyes of Chula Vista have grown into something equally precious.
The Upstanding Teenagers.
"When we were born premature, my mom always told us we had a lot of blood donors who helped us survive," said Garner, the youngest of the quintuplets by a few minutes. "It feels like we have a debt to repay."
And so they are repaying it.
Once a week, each of the quintuplets volunteers at the Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, where Lily is the manager/director of the Birch Patrick Skilled Nursing Facility. Garner and Gerard volunteer in the pharmacy department, where they deliver medications all over the hospital. Gilbert is a messenger aide, with duties that include running errands for the staff and wrangling lost visitors. Sisters Audrey and Adele are maternity aides, volunteering for coffee-cart duty in the labor and delivery department.
"I get a great sense of pride when the staff and the other volunteers appreciate what I do," Gilbert said. "And the visitors always thank me for helping them with whatever they need."
As you might expect from this super-sized family, the volunteer efforts don't stop there. All five siblings, who are juniors at Otay Ranch High School, have also put in so many years volunteering at church (Mater Dei Catholic Church in Chula Vista) and with Sharp's "Sharp Lends a Hand" community service program, they can't remember a time when they weren't trooping off to a walkathon or a coastal cleanup. And honestly, they don't want to.
"I get a sense of purpose that there is something out here that is bigger than myself," Gerard said.
From their seats around a conference room table, his brothers and sisters nodded in agreement. In their medical scrubs and Sharp name badges, the Reyes quintuplets could almost pass for super-young medical students. Given their history with hospitals, they might as well be.
The quintuplets were born Sept. 26, 1997, in Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women in Kearny Mesa, with their father in the delivery room and a team of about 25 doctors and nurses in their corner. Audrey went home from the hospital first, checking out on Dec. 7. Adele was last. She went home on Dec. 18, 83 days after she was born.
After all that, Audrey, Adele and their brothers could be forgiven if they declared hospitals off limits for the rest of their lives. But while delivering specimen samples and bringing treats to pregnant ladies are probably not high on the list of Best Teen Activities Ever, the Reyes kids are happy to stay on the medical track. It worked for them then, and it's working for them now.
"When I go into the rooms with the cart, I usually just smile and see if anybody needs anything. I know that even the smallest things I can do can make a big difference," Adele said.
The other factors in their giving-back formula are their parents. Lily and Arnold (who is retired from the Navy) are active in their church, in the "Sharp Lends a Hand" program and with the Filipino American Charitable Organization of San Diego, where Arnold is the vice president. Volunteerism is as much a part of the Reyes family as homework, taking care of the dogs and weekly movie nights. It's not something they debate. It's just what they do.

Microsoft Updates Windows Embedded for Internet of Things
filed in E-Business on Jun.29, 2013
Get ready for more networked things. This week, Microsoft released a preview of the Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry system, planning ahead as we move closer to an Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things adds connectivity and intelligence to a vast array of appliances, buildings, sports equipment and countless other objects and constructions that today are blissfully unnetworked. Like its parent Windows 8.1, the new embedded version offer multi-gesture touch interfaces. It also supports plug-and-play for device peripherals and offers an open driver, standards-based architecture. Windows Embedded is now being offered in Standard, Industry, Pro and Compact 2013 versions.
In a posting on the company's Windows Embedded Blog, Technical Program Manager Jeff Wettlaufer wrote this week that these versions "offer alignment with the Microsoft tools you're using today to develop apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 — platforms like Visual Studio, tools like XAML and Expression Blend, and frameworks like .NET" to support rich, cloud-connected experiences.
Kinect, Embedded Contact
Wettlaufer also described a demonstration at Microsoft's Build 2013 developers conference, involving Kinect for Windows, Windows Embedded 8 Industry, and a cabinet containing an Amana refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and microwave. Kinect was used in the demo to track a user's physical interaction with the appliances' self-demonstration.
Via Kinect, the gesture-based controller originally developed for Microsoft's Xbox video game console, the application knew when a user walked up to the combined appliance installation, at which point it displayed a video greeting on an embedded screen. By gesturing in the air, a customer was able to navigate through the display and examine referenced parts of the appliances, all enabled by Windows Embedded.
Windows Embedded 8.1 also supports point-of-sale terminals for .NET and barcode scanners, providing other opportunities for salesroom displays.
Earlier this month, Microsoft released its Windows Embedded Compact 2013, which succeeds Windows Embedded CE. The…

This powerful book tells the story of one teacher's odyssey to understand the inner world of immigrant children, and to create a learning environment that is responsive to these students' feelings and their needs. Featuring the voices and artwork of many immigrant children, this text portrays the immigrant experience of uprooting, culture shock, and adjustment to a new world, and then describes cultural, academic, and psychological interventions that facilitate learning as immigrant students make the transition to a new language and culture. Particularly relevant for courses dealing with multicultural and bilingual education, foundations of education, and literacy curriculum and instruction, this text is essential reading for allteachers who will -- or currently do -- work in today's school environment.

Case workers received over 10,000 offers after Davion Only, 15, made a plea during a Sunday church service for a family to "love me until I die." In foster care his whole life, Only made a speech that went national to worshippers at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla. "I'll take anyone," he said. "Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be."
Former House Speaker Tom Foley, 84, died Oct. 18 following months of illness. The Democrat from Washington state served 30 years in Congress but in 1994 became the first speaker in more than a century to be defeated for reelection in the midst of the "Republican Revolution" that turned the House over to the GOP under Speaker Newt Gingrich. Prior to running for Congress, Foley had been a state prosecutor and a Senate committee staffer.
Icons of the Houston Oilers, the NFL franchise that became the Tennessee Titans, died within days of each other. Bum Phillips, 90, the Oilers coach and general manager from 1975-80, died Oct. 18. Bud Adams, 90, who in 1960 helped launch the American Football League—forerunner to today's AFC—in 1960, died Oct. 21. Adams moved his team from Houston to Nashville in 1997, had more wins than any other current NFL owner, but never won a Super Bowl.
Los Angeles jailers quietly freed Michael Jackson's doctor on Oct. 28, two years after he was convicted of killing the pop superstar with an overdose of a powerful anesthetic. Conrad Murray, 60, had served half of his maximum sentence for involuntary manslaughter. Despite street demonstrations against him during his 2011 trial, and protests from the Jackson family, Murray says he hopes to be reinstated to practice medicine again. Jackson had hired Murray to be his personal doctor for a 2009 comeback tour.
Bill Young, the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, died Oct. 18 at age 82. Young, a strong defense proponent, became involved in politics in 1957 and won a seat in Congress in 1970. Leaders suspended most congressional activities on Oct. 24 so lawmakers could attend Young's funeral. House Speaker John Boehner said Young "loved, in this order, God, his family, his country, and the House Appropriations Committee."
A Pennsylvania man found the perfect way to celebrate his 70th wedding anniversary and his 105th birthday on Oct. 20: He earned his high-school diploma on the same day. Bill Mohr was halfway through St. Joseph's Preparatory School—which is still in operation—in Philadelphia when his father's job transfer prompted him to drop out in 1926. He said it became his only regret in life. Mohr, who continued driving until he was 97, is the second-oldest living World War II veteran.

If I tried, would you still call me son?
If I tried, would you call me at all?
If I say that I'll go, regardless of what you want me to do
If I say that I'll go regardless, I'm better off without
I'm better off without you
If I change my mind, it won't be soon enough for you
But I'm not you, I'm not you, I'm not you
I'll try to compromise for you to see
There's so many other things for me to find out
Run myself to the ground
Would you please forgive me, if I found my way back home?
Everything I see, everything I do
Everywhere I've been, these mean nothin' to you

Nicole Brodeur fills in readers on the Nordstrom Designer Preview, Groundswell and the book "Things I Want to Punch in the Face" by Seattle author Jennifer Worick.
Remember that "Sex and the City" episode where Carrie Bradshaw falls flat on the runway, gets passed by a model, and refers to herself as "fashion roadkill"?
That was me at the Nordstrom Designer Preview, where I tumbled off a riser just moments after the last poker-faced-and-ponytailed model made her exit. That's what you get for shopping at T.J. Maxx.
Thanks to Nordstrom downtown manager Todd Buntin for helping me up. (A fine how-do-you-do.)
Fine event, too, which raised $35,000 for the Seattle Art Museum Supporters, according to its president, Colette Courtion.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community

It was also a chance for Seattle folks to try to buy fashions we don't always get here.
"It's like the magazines come to life," said attendee Randy Pollock, of Mercer Island.
I spotted an orange Birkin bag, a $1,050 pair of purple Christian Laboutin pumps, and among the high-heeled and short-skirted, a beige-booted woman looked a heckuva lot like Theresa Olson. Remember her? She's the lawyer who got into trouble after engaging in a now-infamous jailhouse "hug gone bad" with her client, convicted murderer Sebastian Burns. LinkedIn says she's now the production engineering assistant for C.C. Filson.
We really are the world
Big night for global health Saturday at McCaw Hall, where the Washington Global Health Alliance held Groundswell, a veritable rallying of the troops to give the whole world a shot at a healthy life.
The number of agencies aimed at reducing disease — and the statistics they're up against — were a little overwhelming.
"Don't get me started on the malaria groups, because I can't get them straight," said Andrew Barrer, of the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth, as we shared a table with Institute for Systems Biology co-founder Leroy Hood and his wife, Valerie Logan Hood.
Before the big event, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded $250,000 seed grants for innovations aimed at reducing maternal and newborn deaths in low-resource settings. Five hundred applied, but only 17 were awarded in what Peter Singer of Grand Challenges Canada called "the 'American Idol' of global health."
Among the winners: Seattle's own Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), which hopes to develop a low-cost test for gestational diabetes.
And then there were George Chen, 19, and Noah Greenbaum, 21, two Johns Hopkins undergrads who won a grant for their idea to use cellphones to screen for anemia and report results to a central server.
Call your moms with the news, I told them.
"Mom? Our project just won $250,000!" Greenbaum told his mother, Maureen, back in New Jersey.
"Don't sound so surprised!"
The program ended with Melinda French Gates issuing a charge to the audience:
"All of you are in this for a reason," she said. "Go where your heart is on fire. It's the smarts that help you get the work done, but the heart will keep you on fire while you're doing it. And it will change you in ways that you cannot even imagine today."
Short route to screen
The Sundance Institute came to Seattle the other day with its Shortslab seminar, featuring "Your Sister's Sister" director Lynn Shelton, cinematographer Ben Kasulke and feature film director Todd Haynes ("Far from Heaven," "Velvet Goldmine," HBO's "Mildred Pierce").
Haynes showed his 1987 short film "Superstar," which recalled singer Karen Carpenter's struggle with anorexia — using Barbies.
"It felt cool to redeem someone who had been totally dismissed," said Haynes, who "painstakingly" researched the story, right down to Karen's addiction to Ipecac. But the film was crippled because Haynes used the duo's music without permission and was sued by Richard Carpenter.
"There was an intense sort of rigidity in that family," he said. I'll bet.
His charge to the crowd?
"Make films any way you can," Haynes said. "and that often starts with short films."
One girl's guide to anger management
Local side-splitter and author Jennifer Worick has written an incredibly un-Seattle book titled "Things I Want to Punch in the Face."
This tiny tome, to be released in October, is like a balm. A sampling:
Naked pregnancy portraits. Knighted celebrities. Silk flowers. Seat hogs. Precious Moments.
Most timely: Grocery Bag Guilt, which has descended on Seattle like a fog, thanks to the new plastic-bag ban.
Mine: Wait staff who inquire if I'm still "working" on my meal, as if I'm eating with a trowel in a Carhartt jacket.
Names in Bold appears Tuesday. Reach Nicole at 206-464-2334 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

How to Cook with Coconut
I used to be terrified of coconut. True story. As a child, if I was handed an Almond Joy at Halloween, I'd chuck it out immediately like it was diseased. If a cake was covered in the snow-like flakes, I'd turn and sprint the other direction. Putting coconut on something was the fastest way to make me hate it.
But as with almonds, I grew to like it along with the many other foods my juvenile palette didn't appreciate.
What is coconut? Coconut is simply the fruit of palm trees that grow in tropical climates. Shredded coconut is the broken down kernel of the coconut fruit, known as the copra. Despite what some may think, dried coconut still contains all of the fiber and nutrients found in its raw and fresh form, and is typically much easier to cook with.

Calvinists fight back
America's literary and cinematic depiction of Calvinists—from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter to Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller, a 1971 film set in the fictional Pacific northwest town of Presbyterian Church—has commonly been negative. But here comes a poem, "The Calvinist," which John Piper recently wrote to "capture a glimpse of God's sovereign intersection with the life of a sinful man." The Desiring God ministry created a beautifully done, four-minute video designed to accompany the poem (see below).
It's worth watching. "The Calvinist," fighting centuries of criticism, could give Calvinists overly high self-esteem, for when else have "the frozen chosen" been thawed out and revealed as heroes and lovers, the resolute romantics all of us want to be? Piper's words—with voicing from R.C. Sproul, Alistair Begg, Sinclair Ferguson, and others)—and the images (from Sulva Productions) combine into what's likely to open meetings of young Calvinists for the next 10 years.

I added crab mat & ooohh so good!
This is a classic. My Grandma always made it for Easter dinner. I like to add matchstick carrots for color and flavor, as well as chopped hard boiled eggs. If you are short on time buy bagged salad mix, and precooked bacon and just add the toppings!
People can tell the difference between mayos. I they're on a special diet they should use their own mayo for that. Otherwise, use your favorite mayo. My first attempt to make this, I lightly sealed each layer of veggies with mayo and it drowned it. Not good. Now I know that only the top gets sealed with mayo. A big hit. I'm asked to make it but I don't think people like veggies enough to make it this often because the last party they hardly touched my 7 layer salad. It's still a winner!

1st Annual Midwest 3-d Championship!!!!
bow shoot flyer.jpg
Hey friends, I'm hoping that you can help us out. We are having our 1st Annual Midwest 3-D championship. We just moved our course to the beautiful Stephan A Forbes state park. Just asking if you could print off a few copies of our bow shoot flyer and take it to your bow shop and wherever else you would. If you own a bow shop and would like me to send you some, I would be very happy to do so. This shoot is in south central IL about 75 miles straight east of St. Louis, Mo.
Thank you all for the help!
Erik Sullens
P.S. Come and compete. Awesome new course and facilities!!!

A labral tear is a condition characterized by tearing of the connective tissue within the hip joint known as the labrum.
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint - the ball arising from the top of the femur (thigh bone) and the pelvis giving rise to the socket. The depth of the socket of the hip joint is increased by strong cartilage known as the labrum which attaches to the rim of the hip joint (figures 1 & 2).
The labrum is responsible for increasing the depth and stability of the hip joint. It also aids shock absorption, cushioning the impact of the femur on the pelvis during weight bearing. Normally the surface of the labrum is very smooth allowing easy movement of the femur on the pelvis. Occasionally the labrum can be torn or damaged so that the surface is no longer smooth. When this occurs, the condition is known as a labral tear.
A labral tear often occurs traumatically in sports that require sudden changes of direction and twisting movements. These sports may include football, soccer, basketball, netball and snow skiing. They may also occur during running or due to direct trauma such as a fall, heavy landing or motor vehicle accident.
Occasionally, patients may develop this condition over time through gradual wear and tear associated with overuse. This may be due to excessive twisting or weight bearing activity over time (e.g. long distance running) or excessive kicking (e.g. football or martial arts). In older patients, degenerative changes to the hip joint may also be present. In these instances, injury to the labrum may occur with a relatively trivial movement.
Patients with this condition may report that they heard an audible sound at the time of injury or experienced a tearing sensation. Pain is usually felt in the groin, hip and / or buttock. Symptoms typically increase with weight bearing activity and twisting movements of the hip. Patients may also experience pain when climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car, during kicking or when squatting. The hip may also feel weak or unstable and may click or lock during certain movements.
In minor cases of this condition there may be little or no immediate symptoms. In these cases, symptoms may develop gradually over the coming days, typically with an increase in weight bearing or twisting activity. In more severe cases there may be severe pain and significant restriction in hip range of movement. Intermittent locking, clicking sensations, and episodes of giving way or collapsing may be present. The patient may also walk with a limp or, be unable to weight bear due to pain.
A thorough subjective and objective examination from a physiotherapist is usually sufficient to diagnose a labral tear. Investigations such as X-ray and MRI are often used to confirm diagnosis, assess the severity and exclude the presence of other injuries in the hip. In rare cases, where an MRI has proven inconclusive, an investigative arthroscope may be performed to assist diagnosis.

There are several factors which may contribute to the development of this condition. These need to be assessed and corrected where possible with direction from a physiotherapist. Some of these factors include:
Physiotherapy treatment is vital to hasten the healing process and ensure an optimal outcome in all patients with a labral tear regardless of whether they have surgery. Treatment may comprise:
For those patients who are undergoing surgery for their condition, physiotherapy and rehabilitation should commence prior to surgery. This may include treatment to reduce pain and swelling, electrotherapy, flexibility and strengthening exercises, hydrotherapy and the use of crutches. Following surgery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation is essential to assist the healing process and ensure an optimal outcome.
Those patients with minor labral tears that respond well to conservative management can usually return to sport or activity in approximately 2 - 6 weeks.
For minor tears that are managed surgically, patients can sometimes return to sport or activity within 4 8 weeks, although most patients (especially when the tear is moderate to severe) will require a significantly longer rehabilitation period.
It is important that labral injuries are managed appropriately, as inappropriate treatment may lead to the development of early hip osteoarthritis.
Despite appropriate physiotherapy management, some patients with this condition fail to improve either conservatively or following surgery. When this occurs the treating physiotherapist or doctor can advise on the best course of management. This may include further investigations such as X-rays, MRI or CT scan, pharmaceutical intervention, corticosteroid injection, or further surgery.
The following exercises are commonly prescribed to patients with this condition. You should discuss the suitability of these exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should be performed 3 times daily and only provided they do not cause or increase symptoms.
Your physiotherapist can advise when it is appropriate to begin the initial exercises and eventually progress to the intermediate and advanced exercises. As a general rule, addition of exercises or progression to more advanced exercises should take place provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Begin this exercise lying on your back (figure 3). Slowly take your knee to your chest as far as you can go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild to moderate stretch, then lower back down. Repeat 10 - 20 times provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Figure 3 Hip Flexion (left leg)
Begin this exercise lying on your back (figure 4). Keeping your knee straight, take your leg to the side as far as you can go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild to moderate stretch, then return to the starting position. Keep your knee cap and toes facing the ceiling throughout the exercise. Repeat 10 - 20 times provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Figure 4 Hip Abduction (right leg)
Begin this exercise lying on your back with your knee bent and foot flat on the floor (figure 5). Take your knee to the side as far as you can go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild to moderate stretch, then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 - 20 times provided there is no increase in symptoms.

It's a shoe, or a sneaker? One thing is for certain, its a shoe like nothing you've seen before. The Air Jordan XX8 shoe has a unique camouflage design with bamboo accents to reflect its environmentally friendly aspect. The graphic print designs are varying but among the more popular look is the leaf-style finish with a mixture of both green and white coloring.
The Air Jordan XX8 'Bamboo', features a white full zip sleeve with green, brown, gold and black leaves decorating throughout the upper part of the shoe; but then an elegant wood finished carbon fibre heel plate, a black inner sole and a clear, almost transparent outer heel. The green and environmentally bamboo sneakers are made by Jordan at its home in Portland, which has a status of a green city anyway, and amazingly the bamboo used in these sneakers comes from a local company.
The Air Jordan XX8 made with Bamboo Accents appears to be more of a boot than a shoe or a sneaker; it fit snugly and comfortably around the ankle and would look absolutely great if worn with army attire or camouflage fatigue. If you look closely at the wood paneling at the back of the shoe, you will see that as well as being made from a locally-sourced bamboo company, it is also close to Jordan's headquarters.
The bamboo shoe is much awaited and is likely that many watchers will be eagerly awaiting its release date, which we believe to be imminent.

Yet despite the youngster's severe disability, he or she was apparently cared for, in life and in death. Despite lacking the ability to survive on his or her own, the Paleolithic child lived for several years after the head injury. And when the child died, someone wanted to honor his or her memory by placing the deer antlers in his or her burial — a funerary marker that wasn't found in any of the other burials at the site, Coqueugniot said.
"He was very, very special in this group, and he has a very, very special burial," Coqueugniot said.
The findings are not the oldest example of compassion and care for the disabled in a hominid; a 500,000-year-old fossil human from Sima de los Huesos in Spain shows signs of severe brain deformity starting at birth, but that child still lived to age 5, which mean someone cared for the child despite his or her disorder.
But the Qafzeh child reveals a striking example of compassion and care for the disabled in early modern humans, who are anatomically similar to humans today, said Jean-Jacques Hublin, director of the department of human evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany.
It's not clear that head trauma caused brain development to halt, said Hublin, who was not involved in the study. "There is a large variation in brain size among humans, and this is perceptible already in infancy and childhood," Hublin told Live Science.
Therefore, the child may have simply have started out with a small brain, which would have remained relatively small as he or she grew, he said.

Build a Better Online Presence
The importance of having an online presence and personal brand is growing every day. Regardless of which industry you're in, potential employers and clients want to see that you're engaging in the community. I was surprised to learn just how vital having a blog or personal website is — in some cases, it's expected. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I recently finished a master's program in writing and publishing. I heard from many editors, authors, and professors that agents and publishers are more likely to take on your work if you already have an online presence and following.
While it makes sense for writers to have blogs, they aren't just for writers anymore. I have friends in other industries who have built personal websites to draw in potential employers, and to build a name for themselves within their industries. But even as you hear how important it is to have an online presence, you might be wondering: Why would anyone read what I have to say? What would I even talk about? It takes time to recognize what your angle will be, but the goal is always to contribute, in some way, to the conversations going on within your industry.
Helene Cavalli shares "4 Tips to Take Your Online Presence to the Next Level" on Lee Hecht Harrison's website. In it, she boils down exactly what it means to raise your online influence: "To increase online influence you must continually expand your reach, frequently engage and share content that adds value."
Here are two of Cavalli's tips that can help you build a better online presence, starting today:
"Update your status two to three times a week." You might be used to updating your Facebook status for friends, but you should also consider updating your status on other platforms, like Twitter and LinkedIn. When it comes to posting for professional purposes, discuss something relevant and that adds value. Cavalli suggests discussing a conference you're attending, giving an update on a current project, or posting articles that pertain to your industry or job.
"Participate in group discussions." I think everyone is a little afraid of doing this, for fear that they'll become "that guy" or "that girl" who is always arguing in discussion forums. You don't need to take it that far. Find groups, websites, or articles online related to your industry, and post a comment or two that adds to the discussion (for example, you could post a comment here on Career Girl). Share your ideas and experiences. Cavalli suggests contributing one comment or observation a week.
If you're someone considering starting a blog, simply take some time to figure out which issues concern or interest you most in your industry. When you sit down to write, try writing with the intention of informing and helping someone else. Ask yourself. "What do I want readers to take away from this post?" I've used this question as a guide, and it's helped me form better posts. Not every post will be brilliant, but do your best to post on a regular schedule, and you'll eventually fall into a grove.
Check out the rest of Cavalli's tips here. Let us know of any tips or tricks you use to come up with new blog post ideas, or tell us how you enhance your online presence.
