|A seafood pasta salad made from crab, crawfish and shrimp, dressed with a Cajun seasoned buttermilk mayonnaise blend.
Seafood Pasta SaladThis is a great coastal Deep South seafood pasta salad that is pretty common down here, and I love it, although it's more often known as Imitation Crab Salad. Imitation crab scares some folks by virtue of that name, but it is generally a basic mix of Alaskan Pollock, King Crab meat and other seafood, and works great for salads like this, and, in fact, I like it better in this pasta salad.
Fresh crab, certainly much more pricey, may be used, but personally I prefer to save it for things like West Indies salad, crabmeat au gratin, gumbo, crab cakes or stuffed crab.
Frozen Louisiana crawfish tails have gotten a little bit high dollar per pound, even down here, so when crawfish are in season and we bring them home by the sackfuls, I always peel some to set aside in the freezer for recipes like this. The salad is plenty good even without them though.
I also usually have raw, headless shrimp in the shell put up in the freezer, so I use a smaller variation of my regular shrimp boil recipe to cook the shrimp and then use the water to boil the pasta shells. It gives the salad great flavor and a nice, fiery kick, so if you also do that, remember, do not add any salt, pepper, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning to the salad or to the dressing, without first tasting it.
Here's how to make it.

Recipe: Seafood Pasta Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
For the Dressing:
For the Salad:
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup buttermilk, sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Creole mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dill weed
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups of dry medium pasta shells, cooked and drained
- 1 pound package of small (51/60 count) cooked shrimp
- 1 cup of cooked, peeled crawfish tails
- 1 cup of fresh crab or 1 (8 ounce) package of imitation crab
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun or Creole seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped sweet bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon of chopped pickled jalapeno
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, only as needed, to taste
In the bottom of a large serving bowl or lidded storage bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients; set aside.
Prepare the pasta, drain and let cool. Place pasta in the bowl on top of the dressing. Add the seafood to the top of the pasta and sprinkle lightly with the Cajun seasoning and Old Bay. Add green onion, bell pepper, celery and jalapeno. Toss, taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper only if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed to further develop the flavors. If refrigerated, toss with a few splashes of milk to freshen before serving.
For Crab Salad: Use only crab, omit pasta and reduce mayonnaise and buttermilk by half to start, adjusting to desired consistency.
Cook's Notes: If you are boiling your own shrimp, reserve the leftover cooking water and use it to boil the pasta. It adds fantastic flavor to the salad, but remember, depending on the heat and seasoning used in your boil, do not add any salt, pepper, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning to the dressing or salad, until you taste the salad after it is dressed. When using my own shrimp boil, I don't add any additional salt, pepper, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning.

It is therefore hard to understand why so few people regularly participate in an exercise program. According to the United States Public Health Service Centers For Disease Control (1989), less than 10 percent of all Americans perform enough physical activity to attain any measurable fitness benefits. Most of those who do exercise consistently are walkers and joggers, leaving less than five percent of the general public who do strength training.
Strength Training Misconceptions
Some of those who avoid strength exercise do so because they have heard that it may increase their blood pressure. Fortunately, this is not true. Although every adult should have physician approval before starting a strength program, research reveals that properly-performed strength exercise is similar to aerobic activity in terms of blood pressure response (Westcott 1983, 1985, 1987). That is, systolic pressure increases about 35 to 50 percent during exercise and returns quickly to resting levels after the activity session. More important, studies show that several weeks of strength training result in significant reductions in resting blood pressure (Holly and Harris 1987; Westcott, 1995a). For example, 785 men and women who participated in a two-month program of strength and endurance exercise experienced an average 4 mm Hg decrease in systolic blood pressure and 3 mm Hg decrease in diastolic blood pressure (Westcott 1996). Sensible strength training, alone or in combination with endurance exercise, has beneficial effects on resting blood pressure.
Another reason many adults avoid strength exercise is the fear of increasing their bodyweight. They mistakenly believe that weight training is synonymous with weight gain. It is true that strength training adds muscle, but this is actually the best way to lose fat. In fact, strength exercise has a threefold impact on fat reduction. First, it increases calorie utilization during each training session. Second, it increases calorie use for several hours following exercise due to the afterburn effect (Melly 1993). Third, it increases calorie utilization all day long by adding new muscle tissue. This is because every pound of new muscle uses about 35 calories each day just for tissue maintenance (Campbell 1994).
A study of 1,132 adults revealed excellent body composition improvements after two months of strength and endurance exercise (Westcott 1996). As shown in Table 1, the men gained 3.7 pounds of muscle and lost 6.4 pounds of fat, and the women gained 1.7 pounds of muscle and lost 3.4 pounds of fat. Strength training, alone or in combination with endurance exercise, has beneficial effects on body composition.

Johannesburg: South Africans prepared on Thursday to say farewell to ailing anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela after his condition deteriorated further in hospital, forcing President Jacob Zuma to cancel a trip to neighbouring Mozambique.
Zuma was due to attend a summit in Maputo of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to discuss regional infrastructure, but pulled out after visiting the 94-year-old former president in hospital late on Wednesday.
"Over the past 48 hours, the condition of former president Madiba has gone down," presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj told state broadcaster SABC, using the clan name by which Mandela is affectionately known.
Maharaj said Mandela's condition remained critical. He declined to comment on media reports that he was on life report in the Pretoria hospital where he is being treated for a lung infection, saying his privacy should be respected.
Mandela has already spent 20 days in the hospital, his fourth hospitalization in six months.
This has forced a growing realisation among South Africans that the man regarded as the father of their post-apartheid "Rainbow Nation" will not be among them for ever.
"Mandela is very old and at that age, life is not good. I just pray that God takes him this time. He must go. He must rest," said Ida Mashego, a 60-year-old office cleaner in Johannesburg's Sandton financial district.
Mandela, South Africa's first black president, is admired around the world as a symbol of resistance to injustice for the way he opposed his country's apartheid system, spending 27 years in jail, more than half of them on notorious Robben Island.
He is also respected for the way he preached reconciliation after the 1994 transition to multi-racial democracy following three centuries of white domination.
U.S. President Barack Obama is due to visit South Africa at the weekend as part of a three-nation Africa tour he has already started in Senegal. Maharaj said it was too early to say whether Obama's schedule in Johannesburg and Cape Town on Saturday and Sunday might be affected by Mandela's worsening condition.
Well-wishers' messages, bouquets and stuffed animals have piled up outside Mandela's Johannesburg home and the wall of the hospital compound where he is being treated in the capital.
As they headed to work on Thursday, South Africans seemed resigned to the prospect of losing their hero.
"We are all going to feel bad when he passes, but at the same time we will be celebrating his life. He has done so many great things for this country," said John Ndlovu, a 25-year-old office worker.
Mandela stepped down in 1999 after one five-year term in office.
Since then he has played little role in public life, dividing his time in retirement between his home in the wealthy Johannesburg suburb of Houghton and Qunu, the village in the impoverished Eastern Cape province where he was born.
The public's last glimpse of him was a brief clip aired by state television in April during a visit to his home by Zuma and other senior officials from the ruling African National Congress.
At the time, the 101-year-old liberation movement assured the public Mandela was "in good shape", although the footage showed a thin and frail old man sitting expressionless in an armchair.

I learn something from blogs almost every day.
Tonight, right after I had posted my Family and Friends Newsletter Friday, I read Sheri Fenley's The Educated Genealogist and was directed to a wonderful series of videos featuring interviews with Helen Leary on the National Genealogical Society's website (Helen Leary Videos – She Had Me At "Genealogy Is Fun"). I watched them all, and they were wonderful.
Then, on Brenda Joyce Jerome's Western Kentucky Genealogy Blog, I found an interesting post: With Answers Come Questions – John L. Tolley. It mentioned Chronicling America on the website of the Library of Congress. I was aware of this project from a visit to the Library of Congress that was arranged by the Fairfax Genealogy Society around this time last year. However, I hadn't checked the site recently, so I went to take a look.
I knew that the last time I had checked there hadn't been any Dallas newspapers, and there weren't any this time, either. However, there are images of issues of the Fort Worth Daily Gazette. I figured I could at least do searches for articles on my great-great uncle, William Henry Lewis, who had been Sheriff of Dallas County from 1886 to 1992. Sure enough, a number of articles popped up using different search combinations. Of particular interest to me was the following (this will be an early Transcription Tuesday post):
From the Forth Worth Daily Gazette, Fort Worth, Texas, December 21, 1888, page 3, image 3 (under Local Notes and Personal):
"Sheriff Henry Lewis left last night to spend Christmas with his parents in North Carolina, after an absence of 15 years."
Well, the North Carolina part is incorrect; the state in question was South Carolina. However, this helps to confirm the year 1873 as the year Henry came to Texas from South Carolina (my other source for this is a tribute written by the husband of one of the children Henry and his wife Julia Mister Lewis helped to raise). It also gives me a time frame for eventually searching the local South Carolina newspapers for news of his visit. I also know that Henry's father Elisha Berry Lewis died early the next year, on 23 February 1889, so I am glad to see that Henry was able to visit his father one last time.
So, I would like to express my gratitude to Sheri and Brenda – thanks to you ladies, I have had an interesting, educational, and productive evening!

Welcome back to our blog for endangered languages!
As promised, we are continuing our blog series on endangered languages, and this week we're presenting Istriot!
When we refer to Istriot we don't just mean the beautiful region that extends from Venice over to Croatia, we also refer to the Istriotic language, that for a long time was considered as a Venetian dialect. Today we know that Istriot is an indigenous Romance language, dating from as far back as pre-Venetian time, and that it was spoken on the Istrian peninsula.
It is ranked by the UNESCO as 'severely endangered'. According to the 2002 census, only 400 people speak the language today.
Istriot is suffering from a big crisis. Once spoken in the whole northern region of the Adriatic coast, now there remain only a few villages in which this language is spoken or understood: in Rovinj (it. Rovigno), Vodnjan (Vodnjan), Bale (Valle), Fažana (Fasana), Galižana (Gallesano) and Šišan (Sissano). It has gone from being an actively used language to one which is struggling to survive. The problem is that young people whose mother tongue is Istriot are choosing to use Croatian in conversation, even when they talk to their relatives. This is happening despite the fact that many of them were born and raised bilingual and it is the reason why the language is not being passed on to future generations.
Surrounded by two strong languages, Italian and Croatian, Istriot doesn't have a leg to stand on and is at risk of vanishing in just a few generations. Influences from the two neighbour languages, Croatian and Italian, are very strong on all linguistic levels from pronunciation to the use of words.
To give you a feel for Istriot and its similarity to Italian, we have selected this abstract of a poem by an anonymous writer from Rovinnj, who signed it with his pen name Andria Uòrgani (1843). The name of the poem is "Il mendicante d'amore" – the beggar for love.
|English Translation
|Se biella ti me pari
cù ti rèidi
Biella ti son
quando ti pjuri
Cù ti trùvi baròufa,
cù ti crèidi,
Chi ca te vjdo dòuti
se 'namura.
|Se bella tu mi appari
quando ridi
Bella tu sei anche
quando piangi,
Quando cerchi baruffa,
quando gridi,
Chiunque ti vede
di te s'innamora.
|Every time you laugh
you are beautiful
You are pretty
even when you cry,
When you want to have a row,
when you scream
Whoever sees you,
falls in love with you.
Many Istriot speakers consider themselves to be Italian and don't know that what they speak is an indigenous Romance language, not a Venetian dialect. Linguists fear that Istriot is going to become extinct in the near future. Nowadays it is very hard to find Istriot speakers in the villages mentioned above but the place were it is best conserved is Bale.
In hope of avoiding the disappearance of their mother tongue, some artists have begun to create works in their language, for example Istrian songs and literature. We recommend you the Croatian musician Tamara Obrovac, who has launched a project for the revitalisation of the Istriot language. Here is a video of her song 'Se me ra morta privari', enjoy:

Website Redesign
Website Graphic Design Concept Debuts!!
A draft version of a graphic redesign for the American Library Association (ALA) website is now available for review and comment at http://alamockups.luminanze.com. Computer kiosks ware set up in the Grand Hall of the Pennsylvania Convention Center to view mock-ups of the site's graphical makeover and to take a brief survey about the redesign. Feedback received will be used to improve the graphic design before it is implemented in the spring of 2008.
The graphic design is one part of a larger effort to improve the users' experience with the ALA website. "Our website is a significant part of members' interaction with ALA, and it simply has to meet their needs," said ALA Executive Director Keith Michael Fiels. "This is why we embarked on a comprehensive usability assessment and redesign, which we are confident will lead to a much more satisfying user experience." ALA has worked with UserWorks, Inc., a Silver Spring, Md., usability consulting firm, to conduct the usability assessment and redesign, as well as to establish a culture of user-centered web design at ALA. ALA is currently in the process of hiring a Senior Usability Officer, who will carry on the work of institutionalizing usability review and user-centered design throughout ALA.

Compared to conventional generators of similar power rating, HTS enables very compact generator units with much reduced mass.
The greatest benefits in terms of size and mass are for high-torque electric machines such as direct-drive wind turbine generators, positively reducing head mass too.
Several other international parties are working on HTS-technology, including US-based AMSC with its 10MW direct-drive turbine called SeaTitan.
GE's Hydrogenie uses superconductors operating at 43 Kelvin or -230 degrees Celsius instead of common generator rotor winding copper wires. According to GE experts, superconductivity could until recently only be achieved at around 4K (-269°C).
The new superconductors exhibit the phenomenon at substantially higher temperatures, requiring less-complex insulation systems and less powerful cooling devices.
They are manufactured by depositing a superconducting ceramic layer on to relatively cheap base metal.
As there is virtually no electrical resistance at -230°C, the wires cross-section can be reduced to around 2% compared with copper wire of similar capacity. Many more windings fitted into electromagnet coils explain the compact lightweight design.

Health topics
Radiation, Ionizing
Ionizing radiation is the energy or particles (protons, electrons or neutrons) produced by unstable atoms of radioactive materials. It is present in the environment, as a result of both naturally occurring radioactive minerals and cosmic radiation arriving from outer space. Ionizing radiation is also produced by certain human activities, such as medicine and industry, and may result from accidents in nuclear facilities and nuclear bomb explosions.
When absorbed by the body, radiation produces toxic free radicals. Exposure to high levels of radiation can cause substantial damage to human body tissues, and may lead to death. Prolonged exposure to lower levels is also associated with increased risk of ill-health.

June 03, 2007
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA Anderson MBA student Carl Peter Odebjer, known as Peter, was killed in a motorcycle accident on May 30. He was 32 years old.
Peter was extraordinarily accomplished, with an MS in Electrical Engineering from the Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden. He maintained a commercial pilot's license, was an avid sailor, cyclist and runner, and lived life to the fullest. He was fluent in four languages and was learning Mandarin and Spanish. He was also especially giving.
From December 2004 through June 2005, Peter volunteered for Doctors Without Borders in Sudan where he served in the El Fasher region in Darfur. He supervised a team that was responsible for providing logistical support to employees and volunteers. Peter's colleagues describe him as a person with the highest integrity, and as a great team player and mediator.
He is survived by his parents Christer and Ann-Charlotte who reside in Sweden, his long time girl-friend Anna, an older brother Kristian (MBA '04) who was the inspiration for Peter to come to Anderson, his younger sister, Wiveka, younger brother, Tobias, his sister-in-law Mimi and niece Selma. He leaves behind many friends and colleagues at UCLA Anderson, in the United States and Sweden,and throughout the world, whose lives he touched in innumerable ways.
Peter had completed the requirements for his MBA degree and accepted a position with Nestle. His achievements will be honored alongside his classmates and he will be granted his MBA degree at commencement on June 15, 2007.
Dean Judy Olian has communicated with Peter's family and they are most touched by the outpouring of affection for Peter, and the support they have received. Family members attended Commencement ceremonies to accept his degree. A Memorial Event and Memorial Bike Ride were organized jointly by the UCLA Anderson administration and the student leadership.
Many members of the Anderson community have expressed a desire to honor Peter's memory. In response, the family has requested that a scholarship fund be established at UCLA Anderson. Donations can be made to the Peter Odebjer Fund at UCLA Anderson, in care of Lindsay Newlove. Please make checks payable to "UCLA Foundation" with Peter's name in the notes line.

Who are the children on Holt's photolisting?
The photolisting is intended to help Holt find families for children who have very specific needs — whether medical, emotional or resource-based.
Very few of the children Holt places with families ever appear on the waiting child photolisting. Most are matched with families without ever appearing here.
Children typically appear on Holt's photolisting when we need additional help finding a family equipped and prepared to parent them.
WAIT! First you must agree to our terms and conditions...
Holt Program's Photolisting: Confidentiality, Terms and Conditions
Upon entering this page, I agree to keep confidential the information, photographs and videos of any child pictured on this website. I agree to not publicly post information about these children and understand that sharing child information without the written consent of Holt's program staff is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful. I understand that Holt International may use its discretion to discontinue a relationship with me resulting in, but not limited to, revoking my access to Holt photolistings.
After accepting this confidentiality agreement, you will be automatically re-directed to the Holt's photolisting, which features some — but not all — of the children who currently need adoptive families. (Many children referred to Holt never appear on a photolisting as they are matched too quickly with families.) Please contact Holt at 541-687-2202 to learn more about our adoption programs.

A little rain is a good thing. It washes away the dust and makes the fruit seem fresher. A little rain followed by sun would have been perfect and that's what the weather initially predicted. BUT of course, that's not what happened. We got a LOT of rain - more than 3 inches! All of our neighbors brought in their grapes before it started and we chewed our nails for three days as it soaked down to our souls. Fortunately, our grapes have deep roots because we dry farm and we had three months without rain -- so we didn't take up much water from the downpour. We had one full day of beautiful sun then pulled in the grapes with spectacular results. The flavors are robust, the sugars are spot on what we wanted and everything is clean and pretty. We expect this to be an amazing vintage. Farming is risky. Craft winemaking is steeped in tradition and part of that is holding out for more -- most of the time it's worth it. Looks like 2012 will be a year for the books.
Right now we're in the throes of fermentation so that relief has been replaced with a lingering exhaustion until everything's in barrel in a couple of weeks. We hope many of you will visit us during the coming year. Happy Harvest to all! Woof!

King Tuheitia has again written to Waikato-Tainui members warning them that politically the tribe is on the "brink of calamity" and pointedly telling "Pakeha commentators" to keep out of the tribe's business.
It follows an unprecedented letter sent in November calling for the dumping of a tribal politician and suggested that if he'd had a power to dissolve the tribe's democratic institutions because of the level of tribal dysfunctionality he would have used it three years ago.
Tuku Morgan, who the King is also backing to be the new Kauhanganui or tribal parliamentary leader, told media he would change the constitution to formalise these powers.
Tuheitia does not name left-wing commentator Chris Trotter, who recently blogged that more and more it seemed like the late Maori Queen Dame Te Atairangikaahu (a "Lioness") had "whelped an Ass".
But in the latest letter, Tuheitia talks of the support and encouragement he's had for his position and of the ugliness of blogs - although he doesn't name sites.
"The language I have been forced to endure from those people who would like me to stand by while they hold this tribe to ransom is despicable. Their deliberate attempts to twist and misrepresent my words, and their use of false names and anonymous websites to hurl abuse at me ... is clearly a sign of how bad things have broken down and are in need of repair.
"Now we are turning on ourselves going porangi [crazy] as [Princess] Te Puea warned all those years ago."
"Now we have Pakeha commentators weighing in, once again, on what is, I say respectfully, none of their business."
Pakeha butting out is a theme emerging from the office even though the man who writes media releases for the King's Office, Kirk MacGibbon, describes himself as Pakeha.
This week, Mr MacGibbon refused to pass on questions to Tuheitia from the Herald about an aide, Rangi Wallace, who lost his firearms licence as the result of a domestic incident, because "the King answers to his people, not to a Pakeha-owned media outlet".
Tuheitia's latest letter ends by putting things into an international perspective.
"Lately I have witnessed some strange and curious signs. Yesterday I had the Israeli Ambassador at my office seeking my assistance and endorsement of the Worlds [sic] Bible, which is intended to be translated into every language of the world. What I heard from him was the despair of the conflict currently surging around that small country and its people. Death is everywhere. While we wrestle with affairs of deep and lasting importance for our futures, it is worth stopping to give some thought and prayers to those whose futures are far less certain."

The Nursing Home Fugitive
A stroke has robbed Clive Parisi of his short-term memory. To function he records everything that happens in a journal and paints his long-term memories with vivacity and passion. Equipped with these two new abilities but minus a critical old one, he runs away from the nursing home, embarking on a journey that will be his last but his best.

Listen to this article
It was in May last year that Anna Stork and Andrea Sreshta, the founders of LuminAID Lab, a company that makes solar-powered lanterns, won first prize in Chicago Booth's Social New Venture Challenge. Already the two have crossed off a number of big items on their start-up's to-do list.
Land a partnership with a leading aid organisation? Done. Double the customer base and quadruple sales? Done. Score publicity from several national television news shows? Done.
"We've moved past the business plan competition phase," says Ms Sreshta, 29, a second-year MBA student at Booth.
There is plenty more to do, of course. During the next few months, they hope to ink a deal with Amazon.com and a retail chain, team up with an international distributor and get patents squared away. But perhaps the biggest outstanding chore, at least for Ms Sreshta, is to finish her MBA requirements so she can devote herself to the business full-time.
As it is, she has slowed her enrolment to two classes a term. "The school is really flexible [and it accommodates] students who have a side entrepreneurial focus. But it's almost too flexible. I'm ready to be done."
She will graduate this year and is "choosing courses" that have a direct application to LuminAID. "My managerial accounting class last term helped me to think about how we should better account for costs so that we might make informed decisions about things like prices."
The company's signature – and for now its only – product is the LuminAID, a lightweight, rechargeable lantern that inflates to the size of a small pillow. In the developing world, where power grids tend to be unreliable or non-existent, the LuminAID is valuable because it is waterproof and the light source is protected by the pillow-like housing. Its original purpose was for use in disaster situations, such as floods. The lantern has also found a market among people who enjoy outdoor activities, and as an extra light source at home. To serve both markets, the founders have developed a philanthropic commercial strategy, known in the social enterprise world as "buy one, give one". This concept encourages customers to purchase a set number of lanterns for themselves while paying a little extra to donate lights to people in need. This charity model was pioneered by Tom's Shoes, which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold and Warby Parker, which does the same with spectacles.
On LuminAID's website, shoppers can choose the "give light, get light" package, costing $26.95, which includes a light for themselves and the donation of another. (A single unit costs $18.95, plus shipping.) About a quarter of the company's total orders include a matching unit.
One of the primary recipients of the donated lights was the Joint UN Programme on HIV/Aids and the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. In a pilot programme running in five countries affected by conflict, both aid organisations are distributing LuminAID lanterns to women. In some countries, sexual violence has been used as a tool of warfare, contributing to the spread of HIV, according to Annemarie Hou, of UNAids.
"These are some of the most difficult issues to talk about in a community and the idea of 'shining a light' [on this issue] became a positive way to start a conversation," she says. "The LuminAID lights [are] a physical symbol of this idea."
Robert Gertner, professor of strategy and finance at Booth and an adviser to the team, says the partnership with the UN signals "big things" for the company.
"The right sort of endorsements through the UN and other organisations like it give [the team] a fair amount of credibility," he says. "They're building awareness of the value and usefulness of the product."
Even so, says Prof Gertner, the challenge for LuminAID's founders is discovering how to balance its disparate goals of making a sustainable difference in the lives of people in the developing world and making enough money to support the business. "When you have two distinct tasks, trying to pay the right amount of attention to each of them is a real challenge," he says.
The pair must also keep a close eye on rivals, he adds. LuminAID is not the only start-up selling solar-powered lights. The founders are working with a lawyer to file patents. "They can't ignore the competition," says Prof Gertner. "They need to continue to move aggressively. They need to push to be out there in the right channels."
During the holiday shopping season – roughly September to December – LuminAID sales increased by 435 per cent and its customer base by 275 per cent. (The company has more than 4,000 customers.) Sales were helped by some good publicity.
The founders are currently running LuminAID from two locations: Ms Sreshta is in Chicago and Ms Stork, 27, is on the outskirts of Boston. They have not seen each other in more than a year.
The distance has forced them to become proficient in using technology to run the business: they manage online sales through an ecommerce back-end called Magento; edit documents via the cloud; use communal email inboxes for customer service; and send about 50 text messages back and forth each day.
"Working apart has been good for us in some ways because we're able to separate our roles," says Ms Stork.
Ms Stork is working with international distributors and "building relationships to scale up" LuminAID's retail and ecommerce sales.
"There are so many possible sales channels we have to focus on the ones that are going to have the most impact and be the most profitable for our company."
But these are bootstrapping years. "I would love a salary but I don't need it right now," she adds. "Right now, [the money we make] really does have to go into building a business. With every production run, we make more money to put into the business – to double the next production run and put a little bit into the bank account to save."

In response to Mr. Robert Kellogg�s article in the editorial section of this newspaper on Feb. 15, I have a few brief comments to make in regard to his position on the Bible and gay rights.
First, I agree there are some groups who express harsh words concerning the gay community, but surely Mr. Kellogg knows that some of these groups are not necessarily Christians. Some, who do not embrace the Christian faith, are also known to say unkind words about gays. It is true that those of us who are Christians do not hate or detest gays; however, it is true that we view their lifestyle as displeasing to the Lord, and of course the Bible is perfectly clear on this and fully addresses it as sin. Yet, this sin is no worse than any other sin, because sin is mislabeled. Disobedience is the true nature of sin and the acts of disobedience are expressed in all the things today we call sin.
Homosexuality is simply one of the expressions of disobedience by mankind to God�s will. The expectation of God, toward the Christian community, is for us to love gays, but not their choice of lifestyle. Secondly, I would like to know the credentials and the in depth training Mr. Kellogg has gained to make the assertions he made in regard to the Bible, sin and the Church. I personally have Bachelor of Arts, Master of Divinity, and Doctor of Ministry degrees with Religion and Biblical languages (Greek and Hebrew) with both major and minors in my academic efforts; yet I would make careful word studies, along with serious reflection before addressing any issue as divisive as this.
I also add that �The Church did not crucify Jesus.� The Church, as a community of faith, did not exist at that time. Further study on Mr. Kellogg�s part would reveal it was the Pharisees and Sadducees who called for His death, not the faithful followers of Christ. I think further study on Mr. Kellogg�s part would reveal to him that the Church appears to have been born on the day of Pentecost with those 120 men and women in the upper room when the Holy Spirit made His way into their hearts some 40 or more days after the resurrection.
Other than these observations, even though I disagree with them, I commend Mr. Kellogg for his very thought-provoking argument concerning his feelings about the LGBT community; he has written a vigorous article.
In closing, Fraley Memorial Baptist Church welcomes all sinners to worship and loves them for who they are and not the choices they may have made.
Dr. Warner Doles

Rumor: Coach Krzyzewski not interested in coaching Kobe and Lakers?
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said he's not interested in the Lakers job, which will become available if Phil Jackson stays true to his promise to retire at season's end.
"I've never thought of ever leaving Duke for another school but there were three serious times where I almost left to go to the pros," Krzyzewski said. "One was when Dave Gavitt took over the Celtics [in 1990], another was with the Trailblazers [in 1994] and the one that I took to a really far level was the Lakers situation. They were great with me. I just could not give up what I've done and gotten at Duke. It just wasn't worth it."

Game 1 was just as bad as it looked on the stat sheet. Miami's 100-67 victory was just as dominant as it sounds. Before I discuss the Knicks game 1 ineptitude, let me say this about the NBA officiating. The Knicks would have lost this game even if it was fairly called. The officials were not the reason New York lost this game. They didn't defend, they didn't shoot well, they didn't attack the Heat. They deserved to lose. However, that game was not officiated correctly. For LeBron to shoot more first half free throws than the entire Knick team is ridiculous. Tyson Chandler's flagrant foul was very not flagrant. Was it a foul? Yes. Was it flagrant worthy? Absolutely not. The officiating took a bad Knick performance and made it ten times worse. The NBA should be embarrassed by the performance those officials today.
However, the Knicks were absolutely horrible today. Mike Woodson's offense was plain, unable to adjust and utterly ineffective. They looked lost and they didn't hit shots. Melo was horrible. Amar'e didn't get the ball enough to even make an impact. Baron Davis was the best offensive Knick today. That's embarrassing. Defensively, the Knicks didn't show up either. It was an overall depressing loss. To make matters worse, Iman Shumpert injured his knee in the 3rd quarter. I'm no doctor, but it looked to me like he blew out his knee. Let's hope that isn't the case.
Here are my notes from the game:
- Great offense, Woodson. Do you all see why I said wait to re-sign Woodson? His offense SUCKED today. Obviously it is only one game, but I question Woodson's ability to adjust. Albert Einstein once said "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Today, Mike Woodson was insane. Somehow, the Knicks were unable to figure out how to defeat the Heat fronting Carmelo Anthony. Fronting is one of the more basic defensive techniques, and the Knicks seemed completely flabbergasted by the fact that Miami was doing it. Instead of going elsewhere with the ball or deliver Anthony with a crisp pass, the Knick entry passers instead thought airmailing the ball over his head for turnovers was a more feasible offensive idea. More insane than the fact that the Knicks couldn't deliver him the ball, was the fact that Mike Woodson continually called the same set over and over and over again. As a result, the Knicks scored 31 first half points.
- Tyson Chandler was not himself. He clearly felt the effects of having the flu and was a total non-impact. Chandler gave a strong effort, he just was not able to make the usual impact that he normally would. His struggles were a big part of the Knick defense being poor today.
- Great game, Melo. In the Knicks biggest game to date, Melo had probably his worst game of the season. He started the game 0/7 shooting and finished 3/15 for the game. Defensively, he did a very poor job guarding LeBron James. This is another reason I'm not a huge Mike Woodson guy. When Melo struggled today, the Knicks struggled. The Knicks were unable to run sets that allowed them to manufacture baskets. There was too much isolation early in the game and Anthony was unable to get in rhythm. Obviously, Melo has to be the focal point of this offense. However, when he struggles, the offense should not fall apart. Woodson was unable to get the Knicks consistent shots off screens and cuts to the basket. Melo should have played better, but I also blame Woodson.
- The Knicks inconsistency is going to do them in. It reared it's ugly head today. This team is too inconsistent to defeat this Miami team. They rely too much on jump shooting, and when they don't shoot well they suck. Today, the Knicks shot the ball very poorly. They hit just 7/21 from downtown and shot 35% overall. Without their hot shooting stroke, the Knicks were completely unable to produce anything offensively. Their pick and rolls were ineffective. They didn't run any screens. They didn't cut to the basket. They didn't do anything. New York only tried to shoot jump shots and they failed miserably.
- Here are some tweets from the game that I agreed with:

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's Weekend in LA | Pictures
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Stick Together Through the Weekend
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were together to spend Saturday afternoon side by side in LA. Ashton and Mila have been inseparable lately, whether taking his dogs on a walk or relaxing with his-and-hers treatments at a foot spa. As things heat up between the longtime friends, and former That '70s Show costars, Ashton's still dealing with his divorce from Demi Moore. The latest reports about their legal proceedings suggest that a final settlement is being delayed because of disagreements over money. Nonetheless, Ashton's doing just fine in the paycheck department — he was recently ranked as the top-earning actor on television thanks to his lucrative contract with Two and a Half Men. Mila's also been busy with her own work, recently spending time on the set of The Angriest Man in Brooklyn in NYC.

Senior Lecturer of Writing
Ana's academic interests include literature and writing of all sorts, particularly poetry and academic writing. She is also passionately interested in history and critical multicultural studies. She believes that most Americans would benefit greatly from education in the field of critical multicultural studies. There continues to be a huge racial divide in this country, one which most white people are unaware of, a divide which discriminates, separates and limits many people's freedom to live fully and to self-actualize. Racism and intolerance are crippling to individuals and to the nation as a whole, and must not be allowed to persist.
Ana's other interests include travel, camping, hiking (especially in southern Utah, the Southwest and the West), horses, music, dance, museums, reading, metaphysics, film, birds, learning new things, and archaeology, to name some!

[*Someone's* status update at Facebook on 6 May 2009]
"Prospective Wife's Minimum Academic Qualifications & Standards" :
Must have a Masters degree; or at least two degrees in different fields.
Must also possess a minimum proficiency in English that is equivalent to the GCE A-Levels or better.
Able to understand and tolerate `standard Malay', English and the Kedah dialect spoken with an odd, decidedly Kelantan rhythm and intonation.
Now which snobbish and eccentric aristocrat – real or assumed – would insist on these unconventional requirements? And what does he have to reciprocate for the stringency demanded? By the way, there's another requirement that was not originally included:
Having shelves of books, magazines and other reading material (must be in English) will be an added advantage.
All the above were what I `had insisted on' at Facebook on May 6, 2009 upon returning from the Syariah court after I was officially divorced. These (requirements) were apparently in jest — ostensibly, looked like it, so it seemed… What else could it be? In fact, that's what I had felt too, at that time. But deep inside, subconsciously, maybe the soul and spirit was trying to tell me something…
By the way, I wish to state again that, although my plans and attempts to reconcile were undermined and sabotaged "by certain third parties – each with his/her hidden (but quite visible) agenda" - the lafaz cerai on May 6 was made by my choice and on my own accord. The judge had made an important decision "against me" during the previous hearing, but it was something that I could have had revoked on appeal. And this was something that I had wanted to do, and I had even discussed it with a lawyer.
I must admit here that I had lost sight of my original intentions to salvage the marriage and to make amends. I had thought that the only way I could do something about all of my wrongs towards my four children especially, was to ensure that the 23-year marriage to their mother remained intact. I was therefore dismayed and angered by the decision, for I knew that the court was manipulated towards that by the various deceit; including by supposedly `pious' , `respectable' and `dependable' members of the local society.
From the information that I received, and from the written minutes of the case that I had obtained, I discovered how they had maliciously taken full advantage of the prejudice against someone who had been in police lockups, prisons and pusat serenti to poison with half-truths, insinuations and pure hearsay. Saving the marriage and to make amends weren't the goals anymore – my sole objective at that time was to publicly humiliate a few people. And this I would do during the cross-examination on appealing for a review of the decision.
But I decided to refrain from doing so after hearing the opinions of eight people whom I have high regards for. They include people whom I've come to know through this blog especially, and although I had never met them, I know they are people whom I can – and do – trust fully. It was a difficult decision to make, for I'm the fighter type: it doesn't matter if I get hurt or die in the process, figuratively speaking … if I can inflict something on the other side, then that's fine enough. I wanted to extract my pound of flesh – plus interest. But I made the decision to listen to them; the people whom I know sincerely care about me.
The judge was surprised by the change; especially when I was so magnanimous with my concessions. During the previous hearing, my former wife had stated that she was willing to pay some `compensation' (I forgot what the term is. Does anyone know, please?). The May 6 hearing would have presented me the chance to extract more, and to pay as little alimony as possible. That's what most people would do.
But after being touched by the advice and opinions, "I wasn't most people" on May 6. When the judge asked how much I wanted as compensation, I announced: "Toksae langsung" (None at all). That resulted in soft murmurs among the spectators present – ["This is so different from the cases heard before this guy. Who is he?"]
It was the same for the payment to my former wife (eddah). While those before me had twisted and turned to try pay the bare minimum – and grudgingly so at that (try being a busybody spectator at your nearest syariah court to see and hear what transpires here) - I offered something more than that. In fact, the judge had helpfully told me "That's quite a lot. The cost of living in a kampung isn't much – you can pay less…" My reply: "Tak apa, Yang Arif. Saya nok buwi jugok secemok tu" (the hearing had degenerated from some use of standard Malay to full Kelantan dialect in less than a minute. "That's alright, Your Honour. I wish to give that much anyway.")
And so it was – after the judge gave advice that "we not think so much about ourselves, and make decisions based on the children's benefit", I pronounced the Cerai – it was loud and clear, to the full satisfaction of the judge.
I went to a restaurant after that, and sent messages about what had transpired to the eight people. I was especially struck by what my father then sent. It was a copy of his message to my sisters: in it he had said "Syukur" (Grateful to God). Huh? Why should it be so – I had just divorced!? He had also mentioned something that I had thought to be merely consolatory words; that "…now the way is opened for Mat to further improve himself."
This is something that I had learned – lessons paid for in blood, sweat and tears; and something that I'm quite sure most of you will agree: that parents' words are masin (literally `salty', but in this context means `often fulfilled by God').
Anyway, on Tuesday 25 May 2010, I finally left Pasir Mas, Kelantan. It's true that I had lived elsewhere before, including in Johor Baru, Gambang and Kuantan. However, I had always felt that these were just temporary; that I, like Douglas MacArthur, "shall return".
CAPTION: MacArthur returns to Leyte, Philippines in October 1944
But this time it was different: although I was sure that I would come back to Kelantan, it would just be for social visits or whatever. After all, my four children were all born in Kelantan (both daughters at their mother's house while the boys were at the HUSM Kubang Kerian and the Pasir Mas Hospital) – it will always be a part of me. However, there won't be any more of "returning", as I had previously felt for 28 years, for my heart is now elsewhere, and with someone else…
As a postscript to the above: after eight months, I did go back to Pasir Mas with the 8.30PM Ekspres Wau train from KL Sentral last Monday; reaching there at 9.30 AM the following morning. There was something that I needed to take care of at the district religious office. After this matter was settled, I bought the return ticket to KL – it was at 7.18PM, and the time then was only 11-something. So I took the Number 46 SKMK Tok Uban bus, and I got down at this place below … my former wife's house.
CAPTION: Pix taken at 5.45PM while waiting for a taxi across the road with the toy `camera' function in my cheapo Nokia 2630 handphone.
My elder daughter, who has just completed her Degree in Education 5-year course and is waiting to be posted, was there. So were my former in-laws… and my youngest, who came back on his Honda Wave motorcycle from 28 miles away when I sent him a text message that I was in Pasir Mas. My former wife wasn't there though.
There wasn't any awkwardness at all; neither with me nor with my former in-laws. I chatted with them in the kitchen, and told them about my eldest son, who is now in Batang Kali (more about him, my other children etc and how things intertwined later… in Part 2). They were especially relieved to know about him – the same son whom I mentioned in the previous post who had left home in August 2005… just a week before I was detained.
My in-laws knew about how things were with me – they have reliable sources in my eldest son and the two daughters. And they now also know about "the things at the syariah court" – of who did and said what, when, to whom and the real reasons. That's from this blog especially: as I had known, some of my former wife's relatives read the posts here…
Anyway, the short visit left an impression in me. They and this place were also a part of me, and whatever had happened were God's Will and in the past. There have been a lot of lessons learned – for everyone. As I waited for a taxi to go to the train station towards dusk (the pix above), I felt something in me: there and then, I decided to let go of whatever it was between me and my former wife. I've made mistakes, and so did she. At that place and time, I made the decision: that I forgive her about everything, whatever her thoughts, words or actions and regardless of whether these were intentional or otherwise. I can only hope that she would feel the same towards me.
And at that time and place, I have only good thoughts and wishes for her: I wish that she will find happiness in her life, and that her life will become better and better. There had been a lot of bitterness and dissatisfaction previously – the "he said, she said" thing, of which I don't see any point to delve into anymore. I hope she will also move on… as I do now.
(TO BE CONTINUED IN PART 2. Yes, I know many are wondering how the title tallies with the post, because it seems "like something else". Sorry – I had simply written what came to mind with no systematic plan or editing… and suddenly it has become this long. Just regard this as "the introduction" – Part 2 is the real thing.)

Crowded race gives voters options in November election
The Kinston City Council race may not have as much drama as the mayoral race does. Still, what the race lacks in flair, it more than makes up in volume.
In Kinston�s first nonpartisan city council race, voters will have the option to choose between eight candidates � Teddra Hussey-Smith, Marc McKnight, Adrien Meadows, John Nix, Lennie Peterson, Robbie Swinson, Carol Ann Tokarski and Wynn Whittington � for two open seats.
Arguably, Nix � who unsuccessfully ran for a city council position in 2011 � created the biggest buzz with his announcement, deciding to file one hour before the Lenoir County Board of Elections� deadline. He had originally decided not to run for a council seat, telling The Free Press on June 17 of his plans.
His change of mind, though, came from what he had seen in candidates.
�I stepped away, maybe 30 to 40 days prior to the race, hoping other candidates would step up, while I stayed busy with my business and work in organizations,� Nix said. �I didn�t see anyone with real business experience and I thought could represent for private sector, so I decided to step in and run.�
Nix hasn�t posted a position statement, but said he feels like he wants the same thing as the community.
�I feel we all want safe streets and to feel safe in our homes,� Nix said. �For me, I have children, family, business and invested interests here. I�d like to see economy progress more and I�m very involved with tourism aspect in promoting downtown Kinston. It�s best to try to nurture and take care of existing infrastructure, making that a priority. I would like to see barriers reduced toward business development and make the city more attractive.
Hussey-Smith � an Episcopal priest and supply priest for Diocese of East Carolina � is seeking unity and contributions from all residents of Kinston.
�My platform is based on empowering the community to mobilize,� Hussey-Smith said. �In doing this, hopefully jobs will become available, we can raise the economy and restore all communities, not just one side.�
Whittington � best known for his roles as a principal, teacher, associate athletic director and athletic director at Kinston High School � is focused on trying to keep the city strong and attract interest.
�My platform is about continuous improvement,� Whittington said. �The city of Kinston and the council are working well to advance and bring jobs to city. We�ve got to continue to make improvements to our infrastructure and capital projects need to happen. Kinston is a great place to work and raise families, and we need to do things to get people here, attract more business and jobs.�
Whittington also said his experience, not just in the schools, would be beneficial to the citizens of Kinston.
�Besides being an educator and principal, I�ve spent 23 years in military and am currently a chief petty officer in U.S. Coast Guard Reserves,� Whittington said. �I�ll bring this leadership to the city council and I know I�ll represent everyone fairly and equitably. I�m not afraid to ask tough questions to get the results we need in Kinston.�
McKnight � a retired administrative computer technician for Lenoir County Schools � wants to give candidates assurance if elected to the city council.
�My platform is about the non partisan race, jobs, utility bills, taxes and transparent local government,� McKnight said. �The citizens can depend and rely on me. I have an open door policy; I�ll return phone calls and have meetings with them on any issue that faces the city.�
Meadows � who initially filed for mayor before focusing toward city council � is the youngest candidate at 25.
�My platform is: �Taking the initiative; taking the responsibility�,� Meadows said in a statement to The Free Press on Wednesday. �We have to take the responsibility of correcting the issues at hand. Everybody is waiting for somebody to do something. I might as well be that somebody.�
He said he�s asked often what he will do for Kinston.
�Out of all the answers I�ve given, the God-honest truth is nothing,� Meadows said. �I wouldn�t be able to do anything without the people. There are some that see Kinston as a business, but we are not. We�re a community of great and amazing people. If we want to attract more people to our home, we have to make some changes and start believing in ourselves.�
Two candidates � Tokarski and Peterson � did not return multiple calls to The Free Press Tuesday or Wednesday. Swinson, the race�s lone incumbent, was in a Greenville hospital for a procedure on Tuesday and was unavailable for comment on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Some restaurants require the old "Hello, my name is Ashley and I will be your server tonight" routine. I have worked at those places and I hated it. My name is not one that is easily recognized so it was always way more trouble than it was worth.
"Hello, my name is Coby and I'll be your server tonight."
"Oh, hello, Cody."
"No, Coby."
"Oh, Colby! Like the cheese?"
"No, Coby, like the beef but with a C and a Y. Coby. "Like the electronics company?"
"Oh, Coby! That's an interesting name. Were your parents hippies?"
"Never mind. Hello, my name is David and I will be your server tonight."
I was never a big fan of having to give out my name. (No, Coby is not my real name...) I have found that when you tell customers what your name is, many of them get too comfortable using it and they start asking for too much shit. Thankfully, I never worked at one of those places that puts paper on the tables with crayons for the children and some of the servers write their name onto the table. Once I went to a place where the waitress wrote her name in cursive upside down so that it was facing me. Color me impressed but I still wouldn't want to have to do it. So, no I don't give out my name unless asked.
Since I work at a very small neighborhood restaurant two blocks from my home with mostly regulars, several of my customers do know my name. I suppose I don't mind it too much since I bump into them at the grocery and I'd rather they say hello to me by name than say "Hello, Asshole." But I only tell people when they ask. They always follow it up with their names which I promptly delete from my memory bank. If I remember the names of all of my customers how will I ever remember that episode #109 of The Facts of Life is the one that aired on October 3, 1984 and was called "Slices of Life" and it was the one where Jo began her own pizza making company? Click here to see that episode and go to the 1:40 mark to hear my favorite line delivery in the history of the world.
One regular that comes in thinks my name is Eugene. It is not. It is nowhere close to Eugene. I once played a Eugene in a high school play about Halloween, but that is where my connection with Eugene ends. I have told her my real name many times and she always tells me that I look just like Gene Wilder. Never mind that Gene Wilder is about 40 years older than me, she thinks I am the splitting image of the Candy Man. The next time she came in she had forgotten my name and called me Gene instead. I corrected her. I saw her once outside a bar in our neighborhood and she yelled out to me across the street, "Hello, Gene." I corrected her again. I saw her yet again at another bar and this time she called me Eugene. I imagine that her train of thought went something like this:
"Oh, what is his name again, I know I know it. He looks like Gene Wilder but I know his name isn't Gene. Is it Willy Wonka? No, that's not right. Maybe it's Dr. Frankenstein... Gosh, I dunno. I got it!"
"Hello, Eugene!"
I corrected her yet again. She came into the restaurant last week and greeted us all. She didn't say my name and I thought that least she isn't calling me Eugene. When she left, she gave me a hug and kiss (she'd had three glasses of wine) and slurred out, "S'wonderful to see you again, Eugene." I am done correcting her. I don't care. I don't know her name even though she has told it to me often. The difference is that I don't just make up shit when I see her:
"Dionne Warwick, it's nice to see you! How have you been, Diana Ross? Well listen, Angela Basset, the next time you come in you make sure to sit in my station, okay, Oprah?"
I agree with most people that customers don't care about the names of their servers and servers don't want to give out their names, so can we just make a pact across the land that we will no longer do it? Let's be done with it. Let's accept our situation for what it is: a business transaction that will last for about 45 minutes or so. It should be just like a prostitute and her john; no names, no pleasantries and no emotions. We give each other what we want, and move on. As long as I give good service and I am given a 20% tip and not given crabs, I'm good.
"Hello, my name is none of your fucking business and I will be your server tonight."

Will the word "resume" become a foreign word to future job seekers?
Will the word "resume" become a foreign word to future job seekers?
LinkedIn has rapidly evolved as the place to present your professional history and credentials — not to mention the fastest way to check somebody else's. Today, more than 90 percent of U.S. companies use social media in some recruiting capacity. Has the once-hallowed resume lost its pinnacle role as the de facto standard of your professional identity?
Social media is increasingly being integrated into the time-honored process of resume review, prescreening and interviewing. In fact, your LinkedIn profile has evolved as the most-viewed and most current record of your professional life.
That has many people asking — do I even need a resume anymore? The answer is an unequivocal "Yes."
Although networking is the preferred method to secure your next position, if you're applying for an advertised position, you almost certainly need to submit a resume as part of the application process.
Neither LinkedIn nor a personal website can replace an engaging and well-crafted resume, which still serves as the gateway to an interview. With employers relying on applicant tracking systems (ATS), software that screens resumes to determine which applications warrant human review, you require a resume that you can upload. Since ATS applications screen for specific qualifications and keywords, you need to customize your resume for each job description that you apply for, optimizing it for ATS screenings.
In addition, think of your resume as your own professional memory bank or data warehouse of information. Keeping it up to date is a dependable way to ensure that you don't forget noteworthy professional accomplishments and qualifications you may wish to emphasize during your next job hunt.
For all its merit, LinkedIn does have its shortcomings. You have to fit your career history into its structure, and have only minimal control over formatting. That's why many professionals supplement their LinkedIn profiles with their own blog or personal website to promote a more strategic and inspiring online presence.
And yes, although LinkedIn does offer a free resume builder that converts your profile into a resume draft, don't get too excited yet. When I compared LinkedIn's automatically generated resume with a recent version I had authored, the handcrafted version received an A from the resume evaluation service RezScore, while the LinkedIn version received a C+.
I doubt the resume will become extinct in the near future, because it is still the preferred benchmark of what an individual is capable of delivering to a prospective employer. Additionally, having a credible handout to give potential employers at career fairs and other events is absolutely essential.
Resumes will continue to be employed in some capacity or format as part of the employment process. Regardless of the uptick in online recruiting, corporate America still insists on seeing your resume — despite placing a technology scanning firewall between yourself and the hiring manager. It is because no one wants to read the voluminous number of incoming resumes, that you must make your own resume as polished as possible to distinguish yourself.
